thinking abt that time in one of my art classes when the prof put up a silhouette of L from death note and said “this is not an effective design bc you can’t tell who this character is from this shape”
and everyone in the class went like “yes we can that’s L from death note”
Leaving aside how pathetic it was that Gamergate had to invent a fictional woman to be the face of the movement because they couldn't even stomach paying someone off to rep them, the striking thing about Vivian James as a character is that they couldn't resist trying to position her as the perfect Gamer Girlfriend™, and what they came up with to fulfill that brief was a woman who plays games all the time and has no other interests, but also she only cares about the purely technical and mechanical aspects of the games she plays, to the total exclusion of any narrative or aesthetic considerations, so she'll never have inconvenient opinions or argue with you about anything.
Let me restate for emphasis: their idea of the perfect gamer girlfriend was a woman who is deeply interested in the technical and mechanical dimensions of gameplay design and absolutely nothing else, because this means she'll never argue with you about video games.
Buddy.
But arguing about stupid shit is the best part, and indeed core foundation, of all my relationships!
Well, yes, but aversion to arguments is not the failing I'm gesturing toward. The failing I'm gesturing toward is that they tried to imagine a Perfect Gamer Girlfriend Who Will Never Argue With Me About Anything, and in so doing, proceeded to invent a person who, if she actually existed, would be almost certainly be loudly opinionated about every single game she's ever played.
It’s so crazy that Luke Skywalker thought his dad was just some freighter pilot and yet also claimed to be a podracing fan how did he not think to look at the records and see his dad was the only human to ever win the Boonta Eve Classic the legend who defeated the great Sebulba #FakeFan
Luke: Hey this pod racer who was the only human to win the Boonta Eve Classic has the same last name as me.
Uncle Owen: he's your third cousin stop asking questions don't look into what he did after that
I really love this idea that Tatooine, a place that seems to operate primarily on casino logic at all times and is essentially owned by the mafia, would have extensive publicly accessible records of the possibly semi-illegal racing competitions dating back decades, including the first and last name of the 9-year-old child slave who was allowed to compete (as opposed to the name of the person who owned him or sponsored him) LOL
Movie so bad jack black committed mid recording and they left it in
I should draw rouge the bat. But in what circumstance
I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.

Where else but tumblr can you see greater insights to your own nature completely detached from your self made by strangers that know you without knowing you and will only ever recall the phantom of an echo once farted into the abyss, never your name
And nobody will even tell me how to draw rouge the bat
Pauline with Freckles 🌹
Based on speculations going around the leaked alt cover for the new Donkey Kong game, where you can see what looks like a small freckled Pauline. Whether if it is her or not, the thought of Pauline having freckles consumed me. lol

I enjoy all parts of this post. The trans leash, the confusion, the heartfelt display of affection we give to our pets. The biography, the history lesson, and the morality of keeping cats indoors are all bonuses.
