I would really appreciate it if y'all would stop yelling at me or calling me cruel for pitting "your faves" against each other.

When I reblogged the Marceline Vs Garnet poll I was being overly dramatic in the tags for fun and I did not meant any of those literally, sorry

I guess... thinking about it the only thing was that the way the bracket was seeded two characters i really liked went head on right in the begining (which is not the end of the world by any mean), but seeing in your description you are running a "blind draw" tournament so that's bound to happen

Out of curiosity I searched about tournament bracket seeding and found the site printyourbracket.com helpful with terminology and bracket examples

I do think a "seeded" tournament is way more enjoyable than a "blind draw" one, but for that you'd have to pre-rank the characters somehow so I understand not doing it (I also did though about it, for this particular tournament you could use the number of tumblr posts said character's tag has on tumblr to rank from most to least popular)

Huh but yeah anyway, keep doing what you like for fun

Propaganda for Marceline: "~I'm gonna drink the red of your pretty pink face~"

Propaganda for Link: no message

Propaganda for Garnet:

This is Garnet, back together And I'm never goin' down at the hands of the likes of you Because I'm so much better And every part of me is saying, "Go get her"

The two of us ain't gonna follow your rules Come at me without any of your fancy tools Let's go, just me and you Let's go, just one on two

Thanks, Anon!

A coil is coily thing (picture for reference)

They can break easily, thus they're mortal

If you a put a platform on top of them (second picture) they became quite bouncy because coils are springy

And when you shove somebody onto it in like in video games they'll bounce back up with additional height and are now able to go cross higher walls, which is dangerous because there could be a bottomless pit on the other side and they could die, hence the "death" allegory

wikipedia is a gem

If I’m correct, this is from the article “list of common misconceptions” which happens to be one of my favorite Wikipedia articles

https://xkcd.com/843/

The whole article is a wild ride.

W...was this up for debate?

It's the first Tuesday in February, time to have a click around the Wikipedia list of common misconceptions!

had a fascinating english class that resulted in the notes header “the forcefeminization of victor frankenstein”

what the people want, the people get

you see

my professor’s take is that mary shelley is feminizing victor throughout the novel, as a way of flipping gender roles and putting a male character through female experiences.

evidence as explained:

Also, Shelley’s mother died in childbirth. It’s interesting, then, that Shelley presents the creation of life as something horrific and damaging. She parallels Victor with her mother.

in conclusion, Frankenstein (1818) by Mary  Wollstonecraft Shelley is one of the first examples of mpreg in English literature 

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

Nazis are taking over my government, and like, not even just the Nazis we fucking elected! And I'm...making hamburgers? Because somebody has to make dinner? I just feel completely unhinged.

I think that's how random civillians generally feel in these situations. Someone's gotta make dinner.

If you're wondering, there is plenty to be done about it, and plenty being done about it already, even if it's not happening instantly in a way you can perceive.

Reblogging because this is an excellent article that both tells you about some of what's being done and breaks it down in a way that will help you understand and think about future action. Please read!

Images of SF-A2 codename miki and Hiyama Kiyoteru for Synthesizer V 2 have shown up on Amazon Japan!

Release date is stated to be March 21 2025!

ALERT. ALERT.

chillin on a Saturday night

Calm down jojo

you’re right, I am looking a little stiff here, I should try to relax

You call that “chillin”?

Everyone knows the best way to relax is with a good book and a warm drink

I dunno, man,

 sometimes I like just relaxing on my laptop

get on my level boys

Unfortunately to “get on your level” I’d need a boat trip to the Mariana Trench and a pair of cinderblock shoes.

Thats gotta be the sickest burn ive ever read holy fuck

Theme Announcement for February 2025 Vocaloid Song Tournament

It is time yet again to announce the theme for the next Vocaloid song tournament! Now, some of you may celebrate Valentine's Day, which is symbolic of romance and love in many modern cultures. If you don't, I understand as an aroace woman. However, this holiday presents an excellent opportunity for a unique theme on this blog: Vocaloid duets! I had this theme planned out prior to 2025, but shout-out to @em-um-canto anyway for the theme suggestion!

I am including Vocaloid/Vocalsynth duets that I believe are the most iconic from the ones that amassed tens to hundreds of millions of views to the ones that recently released. Could that mean that there is some personal bias in the song selection? Perhaps. Also, I am not including duets between Rin and Len because they could have their own tournament based on those (and that partially happened anyway in December 2023).

If your favorite Vocaloid duets do not make the tournament, please do not be upset because there are many songs to choose from! Otherwise, you can look forward to the tournament starting on February 10th at 10 PM CST. Until then, off-season polls start tonight and continue daily at 6 PM CST. Regardless of the poll, please remember to vote, reblog, spread harmless propaganda, and have fun! :D

Thanks for the shoutout (even though like you said this idea was something you already thought before)! I love your tournaments! I feel like this one is gonna have some bangers and heavy contanders against eachother oooh is gonna be fun

same moment different angle

The bullet bandolier over the skirts is a look. 😌

Some of you are going to have to realize really fast that posting on social media about your acts of resistance, or the acts of resistance of your workplace/student group, or things you're planning, or even about charitable actions like volunteering, is a stupid idea in the kind of climate where such acts are increasingly incredibly necessary. And that therefore you cannot and should not assume that someone is apathetic or not doing anything important based on their social media activity. And that some acts require secrecy to be effective and people might only be able to safely talk about them years later, if ever.

And then get off your high fucking horse about how people aren't doing anything, how no one is currently firebombing a Walmart, how "white women who say things like 'joy is an act of resistance' take no other acts of resistance" etc. I promise that right now many ordinary people you will never know about are taking actions that seem small on their own but will lessen harm in significant and tangible ways, and that those people are doing more good than anyone whose main revolutionary actions are snarkily complaining online. This is not the time to be tallying social media points and using them to judge each other.
