I Hope All Big Movie Studio Executives Lose Their Thumbs In A Brutal Fridge Accident

the man who owns and runs the thai restaurant in my town knows me by name. he is one of the kindest and most thoughtful men i know. i started ordering from his place back in january, which was when i got my fibromyalgia diagnosis. back then i was using a walker, had limited mobility in my entire body but especially my hands, and was very visibly in pain. i always ordered the same thing: yellow curry with no meat, potatoes and carrots only (i have texture and other dietary issues). he always made it a point to make sure i could get out the door and carry the food safely. he had his workers package the food so that it was easier for me to open. as i kept coming back and i told him a little bit about my health status, he would always encourage me to keep going. he told me about how the spices he used were good for inflammation and began to edit the recipe just for me so that spices that were even better for fighting inflammation were used. he’d give me extra portions and despite the fact that i would tip every time, i realized later that he never charged my card for them. as time went on and my condition began to get better, especially with the help of a physical therapist, he would make encouraging remarks and tell me how happy he was for me. the day i came in without my walker, he practically jumped for joy, and despite my insistence, he gave me my meal for free that day. i continue to make progress with my conditions and i continue to go to the thai place. this man who does not know me personally and who i hardly know anything about is one of my favorite people. it’s interactions with humans like these that make loving life easier. and his curry really does help my chronic condition. it’s comfort food taken to the next level.

This is something a lot of people need to understand, of course you never heard of publically open LGBTQ+ folk until recently, have you ever considered that it's because we haven't given them a safe environment to be themselves until recently?

I graduated high school in 99.

There was a student at our school named Wayne.

Wayne was gay. It was obvious. He was unable to stay in the closet even if he wanted to. To make matters worse, he was also Black. From a bullying standpoint, that was not a great combo. Both Black and white students made fun of him relentlessly. He was ostracized from the only community that may have given him protection. Only us theater kids stuck up for him, but not to significant effect.

Wayne was bullied so much that at one point he finally snapped and attacked his bullies with a lunch tray. I was actually seated in perfect line of sight and just sat there chewing my soggy fries in stunned silence. It didn't even seem real as I was witnessing it. The image of him wailing on his main bully as the food on his tray flew off is permanently logged into my long term memory.

The bully he attacked had blood all over his face and went straight to the nurse. Other than superficial cuts, he was not injured.

Before the attack, Wayne went to teachers for help. He went to guidance counselors for help. He went to the principals for help.

He did all of the things you were supposed to do. No one helped him. They wagged a finger at the bullies and warned them to stop.

Wayne's lunch tray melee was the only thing that worked. His bullies stayed far away from him. But a week later Wayne was expelled and the bullies were given no punishment.

So... no.

No one in my school talked about being trans.

Because the only way to survive being openly queer was to bash people with a lunch tray.

do you ever shut up? i dont think i've gone a day on this site without seeing some relic of your splattering of thoughts.

if tumblr were a bathtub it would be 99% filled with my piss

Here's a mock-up of what Phase 3 looked like in my dream:

I had a weird dream about a secret fight (route?) in Undertale Yellow

SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR UTY AHEAD

So, in the dream, I found out that if you told Ceroba about reality being a game (I believe shortly before one of her fights, though I'm not sure which route it was, I think it didn't resemble any route in the game) through various dialogue options, she would suddenly become a glitchy form of herself and start a battle with you.

This Glitchy Form of Ceroba (apparently called Ceruca according to the wiki) had 4 or 5 phases, all of which had a different appearance, and all of which could be easily defeated with a single attack, and she did nothing but speak garbled gibberish.

After this fight, you would proceed into this very long horizontal pathway, whose tiles remind me of those in the original Undertale's New Home, but with some slight Bisexual lighting, though the background was completely pitch black.

After that, every time you tried to talk to Flowey, for some reason, he would also speak in Garbled Gibberish, much like Ceruca.

I don't remember anything else after that.

You stand where I once stood. Heed my warnings.

Woe, I am become weeb, Knower of Touhou trivia

On the topic of Power-Ups, let's talk Fire Flower (personal headcanons under cut)!

The Fire Flower is one of, if not, the most known Power-Up from what I've seen. Even though I'm quite a fan of it myself I'll admit I never thought too much about it. So after giving it a good thought here's what I got:

General headcanons;

Fire Flowers are very adaptable plants, however they naturally originate from the Darklands, which so happen to be where they grow the most. The heat eminating from the magma is perfect for their growth. Since wielding fire isn't too rare of an ability for Koopas they're mostly perceived as weeds, so it's not much of an issue if someone plucks them. Unless you're an outsider. Something might be considered useless but it's a problem if the enemy wants to exploit it. Because of this some of the main fields will have patrols just in case a mustachioed human, or two, happen to be sent to collect a supply. They usually consist of Fire Bros who protect and even tend to the flowers. Rumours say that with some luck it's possible for a normal Koopa to inherit fire abilities after being exposed to a Fire Flower for extended periods of time but it hasn't been scientifically confirmed.

The Fire Flower is a multiple use Power-Up. Once activated it lends it's energy to a single user, then proceeds to hibernate and slowly regain heat overtime. The process can be sped up exponentially by placing the flower near a heat source like lava or a fireplace.

Mario and Luigi specific headcanons;

It took some time for the brothers to initially get hang of releasing energy without overdoing it. It's easier to ignite something, rather than put it out. Eventually with some guidance from friendly koopas they managed to become respectable fire users. That is until the events of Superstar Saga happened.

For Mario, getting the Firebrand only enhanced his abilities. Focusing energy became very easy, a second nature even. Shaping fire, directing it, managing it's temperature. Easy peasy for a guy like him! It wasn't a suprise that the Fire Flower quickly became his favourite to use soon after. When used with the technique he can truly show off his mastery over the element!

Luigi however... got it rough. The Thunderhand, notable for giving it's user affinity for manipulating electricy, drastically reverted his progress. These two elements just unfortunately don't mix. The fire he started to produce was unpredictable and unstable. There was no guarantee if it'll fly in the right direction nor how much power it'll pack. He's been practicing ever since to not accidentally go overboard.

Mario's fire tips and tricks aren't helping too much but at least he's trying.

In conclusion the Fire Flower is one of the more reliable, common and useful Power-Ups. Getting a good amount of them can be a hassle but in the long run it's worth it especially if they're used to make your own farm. It's uses can range from warming up the house to battling evil. Mario is the "fire master" of the group and Luigi, with the peculiar way magic reacts to him, is a walking proof of the statement: "elements don't mix".

Some of the stuff I said here could change with me adding details in the future but right now this is the general idea. It might not be completely original but the thought of making this seemed fun. Thank you to whoever read this, I hope the blocks of text were understandable!

god, this is what youtube with ads is like now? two ads for starting the video? two ads for skipping to the middle of a video? two ads for leaving a video paused for a while and then pressing play again? two ads for beginning the video in the middle because it remembered your place and then another two ads for navigating back to the start?

Sorry I just saw your second comment.

Dude, I get you, I agree, no one is arguing that children need/deserve/should be killed. But how can you not understand that israel is doing what it can to protect the civilians (evacuation orders), but also needs to secure its own soldiers, who literally 19-23 year olds mostly, and those who aren’t are just civilians, doctors, lawyers, fathers, israel doesn’t want them to die to satisfy hamas, and Israel has a duty to protect them as they risk their lives to go in to kill terrorists who built their bases among civilian population, with people who aren’t specifically hamas also hating them and wanting them dead (again- not in a way of an excuse, but just you know, it’s the truth, their children would shoot a soldier, they have summer camps for it).

So yes, it’s sad, but these are precaution that israel has to take to protect its own children who are sacrificing their lives. And if warning people to evacuate isn’t enough, and saying that it’ll all stop if the hostages are released and hamas surrenders entirely, then how can you blame israel? 1400 people died gruesome, painful, terrifying deaths, they were tortured and beheaded and raped and burned alive. How can this be allowed to pass? How does israel eliminate hamas so that this never happens again?

I don't have anything to say that I have not already said before in the comments under my last response to you, but I do want to ask you two questions.

How do you feel about the historical oppression of Palestinians [1], and the fact that Israel is directly responsible for the things Hamas has done by getting them into power by providing them funding [2] [3], and the fact that were it not for the aforementioned oppression, Hamas would not exist in the form we see today [4]?

The 4th source is locked behind a paywall, but the intro alone illustrates my point well.

Oh, and just one more question, how do you feel about how the current Israeli Government is extremely Far-Right [5}, resembling Nazism more than anything I've seen coming from those who oppose what Israel is doing and has done to Palestine (except my asshole of a Grandpa and Hamas themselves)?

reminder that palestinians do not need to meet certain criteria for you to care about them, i see so many posts where people are picking out the "good palestinians" we should be caring about because you believe that having something in common with them is needed to earn your sympathy. there is nothing on earth a civilian could possibly be doing to justify the actions taking place against the palestinian people, they do not have to align perfectly with your values to care. some of you are unwilling to let go of your islamophobia to care about human life
