a whole set of messy chaos gremlins and I love them all so much
“My body is a temple”
The temple:
The Far Right is Rising in the Land of ‘Never Again’
Jan Böhmermann talks about the upcoming elections, the rise of the far-right Afd, and how a country can deal with our history and how we can never let it happen again.
I love all the movements Rook makes whenever they're standing on an edge. They're either looking down and going "Nope nope nope" or are nearly losing their balance
That and the things they say to themself on the zip lines in Treviso.
Hawke and Inquisitor: canon arachnophobes (both see fear demons as spiders)
DA2 and Inquisition: full of spiders
Rook: I’m fine with spiders, the only thing I’m not great with is heights
Veilguard: Oh, buddy…
Cirque du Soleils their arse
I feel like many people have a fundamental misconception of what unreliable narrator means. It's simply a narrative vehicle not a character flaw, a sign that the character is a bad person. There are also many different types of unreliable narrators in fiction. Being an unreliable narrator doesn't necessarily mean that the character is 'wrong', it definitely doesn't mean that they're wrong about everything even if some aspects in their story are inaccurate, and only some unreliable narrators actively and consciously lie. Stories that have unreliable narrators also tend to deal with perception and memory and they often don't even have one objective truth, just different versions. It reflects real life where we know human memory is highly unreliable and vague and people can interpret same events very differently
Some types of unreliable narrator:
The Watson: is present for the event but does not have the same level of perception as protagonist
The Lemony Snicket: isn't present for the event, reconstructs the facts based on later research, can get things wrong or incomplete
The Ted Moseby: is present for the event but has romanticised and embellished their memory of it through nostalgia to an extent that you cannot fully believe it; is also prone to misremembering or outright forgetting details.
The Katniss Everdeen: is present for the event, is the protagonist, but is completely foreign to the world and out of their depth so they don't quite understand a lot of what is going on.
The Rose Quartz: is present for the event, but due to their personal agenda or feelings of shame hides and embellishes what actually happened in favour of a version that paints them in a better light.
The Big Brother: overwrites what actually happened in favour of propaganda.
The Jonathan Harker: is absolutely clueless about what is going on around them and the genre they're in so their perception of events is tinted by their own naivety.
The Goob: the narrator's own emotional bias clouds their judgement of what really happened.
The Tyler Durden: the narrator is suffering from hallucinations and doesn't realise it.
The Pi: the narrator has survived a traumatic experience and copes with it by turning it into a wonderful tale.
a wizard is going to turn you into a random animal! whether you like it or not! how nice of them!
spin the wheel to find out which class your new species belongs to (and then probably do a google).
this is funny because the three categories of responses are largely:
1. NOOOO PARASITIC WORM 😭
2. FUCK UEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH PARASITIC WOOOOORM 🪱🪱🪱🪱🔥🔥‼️‼️
3. bird? well... I guess it could be worse :/
you can’t jokingly post about kinky shit on tumblr because you say smth like “haha wouldn’t it be hot if you…tried to launch internet explorer…but it wouldn’t load :D”
and then you’ll get one thousand robot girls in the notes going “mmngngnnghhhngn”
YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME. NO NO THIS IS TOO FUNNY,
now that trump has tiktok, twitter, facebook and insta in his pocket, get ready for a massive wave of internet censorship. one of trump's greatest weapons has always been misinformation; it's going to become harder and harder to spread facts and criticism going forward. posts that aren't made invisible will be magically ignored by the algorithm. dissidents will have their accounts deleted and voices erased.
this is a suppression tactic. this is another stage of fascism.
This definitely seems like a good time to pull these out

I'll also provide some of my advice:
- Don't react immediately. Any form of ragebait or misinformation thrives on gut reactions. Instead, analyze the material. Do research. Think about what you want to say. Or you can not say anything at all. That is also a valid option.
- If someone is attacking you online, do not fight back. Block them. If they keep coming back, starve them by giving them nothing to feed on, or report them. If they doxx you or do something that threatens your privacy, report it here and here.
- Screenshot and record often. Keep circulating the tapes.
- Never, under any circumstances, share personal information on the internet. You might as well go faceless.
If anyone has any other pages that talk about fact checking and how to fact check social media posts, do let me know.
