We literally cannot let them start charging 80 dollars for video games 70 dollars was already outrageous 60 was pushing it. 80 fucking dollars. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND. For MARIO?!?!?!?!?
If we don’t buy it, they’ll lower the price, just like the 3DS. They make more money from 2 million people buying it at $60 than 1 million at $80

“We keep making our service worse, cancelling shows before their time, hiking up the prices, and generally ruining what once was a decent product–piracy keeps wining somehow. 🤷”
This is especially funny because early on, part of Netflix’s business model was to look at what series were being pirated and acquire them, and a lot of pirates would just use Netflix because it was easier and not too expensive.
But then Netflix made themselves infinitely more inconvenient and you’ll never guess what happened next
She’s also publicly stated that she believes that anyone who reads her books or watches her shows and films does so because they explicitly agree with her political views.
There’s no “agree to disagree” with her work. Every time you pick up her work or talk about it you are saying to her “I agree with you Joanne” whether you like it or not.
too many ppl who know nothing about Filipino folklore n culture r talking shit about my ate. she’s based off of the manananggal, which you can compare to the European vampire, if that helps you understand it better. although, i’m reluctant to mention that becuz some ppl, who choose to be ignorant, currently hold the view that she’s just an Asian-colored vampire mishmash monster. she is not. other than the fact that she manages to exist at all, here are some details i appreciate about her.
first, she has a face that looks like my family’s. that’s my lola’s nose. that’s my mom’s birthmark. shit, those are my uncle’s cheekbones. the headpiece features jasmine, our national flower. the translucent petals are cool.
second, you can display her in two pieces, split by the torso. its not just a “cheap gimmick” you ignorant pos. at nightfall, the manananggal severs itself in two, leaving behind a vulnerable lower half while its upper half hunts for nourishment - blood, raw hearts, livers, fetuses. the red fringe represents her dangling intestines, hanging loose as she flies after ripping her body apart. the string detail is on the skirt for consistency, but also, intestines are long as fuck? why wouldn’t they also hang from the bottom, assuming they also get split in half.
while we’re on the outfit, the top is an extremely traditional (Spanish colonial, ugh) style in both fabric and shape. i have attire that looks exactly like it, minus the monster high red foil pattern. the tiny, “woven” sleeve cuffs are a nice touch. the earrings and bracelets look to be woven palm too, but aren’t as effective in plastic. the bottom half skirt is quite a bit shorter than is traditional, and the heels higher. it’s a monster high doll.
most accurate would be barefoot, tbh. but you guys would riot, and again, its a doll. actually, the shoes reference a lot from Filipino culture. the heel is a coconut tree overlooking a kubo, a one-room stilt hut built with natural materials such as bamboo and palm, and specifically made to be remade as necessary. the sole is “wooden”, also an accessible material of which some shoes were made with. it is attached by braid to what looks to be a straw strap. also not unusual for a shoe.
her fan and wings feature embroidery, and if you look closely at the latter, you will see a thin and delicate flora design in between the spider web pattern. this is extremely reminiscent of calado, a type of traditional hand embroidery akin to lace that is difficult as fuck. a dying art, btw.
i didn’t wake up looking to ride this hard for a plastic woman lmao. but if you’re gonna come for her, it better be because of the fluorescent green in her colorway and not because you don’t know what you’re talking about. honestly, a lot of Filipinos are just happy to be considered and celebrated. “wins” like this mean everything. maybe it’s not good enough for your collection, but now you know more about my culture than you would’ve gone out of your way to. and that’s good enough for me.
banging my head on the wall BEGGING people on the internet to learn what an Inside Thought is. like you do not need to express every nasty opinion you have, and if you do so publicly, you gotta accept that people are gonna get mad at you for saying shit like “i find gay men repulsive”. social media is not your private diary, it is public. there are consequences for saying terrible things, such as thousands of people thinking you’re an asshole.
PLEASE learn what an inside thought is. you do not need to share everything that goes through your head. you shouldn’t.
once you say something out loud people can hear it and respond. if what you say out loud insults them, they will also get mad at you. the nice thing about inside thoughts is when you don’t say insulting things out loud to people, they don’t get mad at you.
you have every right to say mean stupid bullshit that pisses people off, but if you don’t want to deal with the consequences of that, consider learning some fuckin restraint.
this is why journaling and/or talking to yourself is such a useful tool. you can even make a post and leave it in drafts! it’s healthy to get those thoughts out of your brain, but it’s important to keep to an appropriate context.
as someone who nearly died at 22 due to serious health issues, society’s obsession with youth and hatred of the signs of aging really gargles my goyles. not everyone gets to grow old, it’s such a privilege and yet we treat it like a disease, or a curse, something to avoid for as long as possible. truly it strangles the soul to witness
mixing some drinks to renew my gender reveal, whichever taste i find peace with will choose my path
midway check-in: the pink one tastes pink and by god the blue one tastes blue. when you drink them both together it tastes distinctly like pineapple. there is no pineapple in either one
okay i have consumed both to their fullest extent and i have come to the conclusjion that i….am….
