And Then A Bunch Of People Will Start Fighting Over Whose "hear Me Out" Is Truly The Most Non-conventional.

It's actually so funny because just today I read a post about why Putin did not meet up with an important social media guy (the one who created Russian VK and after it was taken over by the government to spy on people he moved away and created Telegram with the specific intention of it not being possible to use to spy). The message quite literally read "it's because Putin is an old-school KGB agent and simply does not comprehend how important Durov (the guy) is; it is incorrect to compare him with Trump, who uses Twitter, interacts with bloggers and had organised a takeover online". And then I go here and read this. The perspective decides everything, heh? 😁

(just to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth: I am not saying Trump is some sort of Internet guru or something, but expressing my amusement at the comparison of the two posts with completely opposite opinions that, however, do not actually contradict each other)

((I also am not sold on Putin being ignorant about Durov but that's neither here nor there))

Trump Falls For AI-Generated Taylor Swift Fans In Kooky Endorsement Claim: 'I Accept!'

The former president shared a number of fake "Swifties for Trump" pictures including one that's clearly labelled "satire."

Donald Trump had a “love story” for fake photos indicating that Taylor Swift fans are backing the Republican presidential nominee on Sunday.

The former president took to Truth Social to share screenshots from social media accounts that depict women wearing “Swifties for Trump” tees, however, a majority of the pictures appeared to be generated by artificial intelligence.

Acceptance, cookies, bro love. What else one can wish for? Especially since at least one of them I can make come true without relaying on fate at all!

2021 looks bright!!!

What about the ones about mutual corruption, like Dodie's Monster (And through my red eyes, you look pale// All of your scars are looking more like scales// Two ugly creatures, two sinister preachers// Blind to the past like a couple of monsters// Just a couple of monsters), those that are about being unable to leave the past in the past, or let the other move on, or even better, the ones that are about caring for the other but in a definitely unhealthy way! And then there is Doctor by Truslow that has lines (You are the enemy// A friend of me// The remnants of my mind// I am psychotic to the core// But I want more for it defines the very purpose// And reason I’m alive) 😁

Plus the wolf songs.

there are so many types of music which suits for kakaobi. aggressive rock about hating your ex? ofc damn it. sensual female voice singing something like "hello, heaven"? sure thing. gentle, quiet declarations of love, as if you were showing your most vulnerable place? oh god. hating your ex again? arghhhh

upd: one more. a dramatic bond (only for their radiohead songs)

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

I was looking for a specific post going through the tags in the archive and opened this one because I really hoped Tim was to explain Pokémon to Ras Al Ghul 😁

Please imagine Tim Drake attempting to explain Pokémon Go to an increasingly exasperated Bruce who is just Not Getting It

What are the two things I notice, you ask?

Obito looks the most dorito-shaped in the last pic. Love it. Lil boy raised on mokuton steroids 💕💕

Wildly off topic but Kakashi looks like Sakumo's spitting image here. Adorable on one hand, distressing considering which phase of Sakumo's life he looks the most like on another.

The 4th ninja war: virgin villain vs chad pervert

Read somewhere that for Aztecs it was considered dishonourable to be unable to take their enemies in alive (because then they couldn’t be sacrificed alive but besides the point). Would be nice if we could think of the inability of five trained people to take in one inebriated lunatic as their failure at their job, even without being a part of a bloodthirsty cult.

Got permanently banned from a subreddit for saying law enforcement shooting someone dead in the street was still a bad thing even when the victim was a violent right-wing fanatic.

Gotta say, I did not expect that to be such a controversial statement. So repeating it here: law enforcement shouldn't kill people. Even violent assholes have a right to be taken in alive, and it's a failure of practice and policy when someone is killed in the process of an arrest.

This speaks to me on spiritual level.

Valid point, and now that it has been made it's ridiculous to even consider thinking otherwise. It's also one of the most hilarious things about Madara I've ever read and each word is better than the last. It's hard to be thoughtful when you are doubled over with laughter.

So I have an issue with common fandom interpretations of Hashirama and Madara. (Not together, but it applies to Hashimada too) Whenever I see Hashirama in the context of a relationship or the bedroom, he’s always either superderp or supertop. Whenever I see Madara, he’s either the smoothest dude ever or just ultra dominant.

Let me tell you something.

Madara is the man who turned Hashirama into a meme because he’s so incapable of articulating himself that when he saw his old friend and enemy he just decided to scream “HASHIRAMAAA” at him. This is the guy who can’t pee if someone looks at him while he’s doing it. This dude somehow managed to fail to convince his own clan, who he was presumably the leader and most powerful member of, to leave Konoha and ended up getting booted out.

By his own clan.

He failed charisma checks to get Hokage even when his friend and the only Hokage to exist at that point wanted him to be Hokage, and he failed so badly not one Uchiha joined him when he stormed out.

He self destructed partly because he can’t figure out that children are kind of important to have, because he saw them as brats running around his ankles. We see him with no personal bonds other than his siblings (primarily the one brother he had during his time with Hashirama) and Hashirama, and while he does manipulate quite well, it’s with violence and controlling circumstances. When he gets to ramble he sounds like a crazy old man.

He literally could not convince his own best friend to see things his way and he was one of the ones who founded the village in the first place.

Meanwhile, Hashirama became Hokage, founded and grew a village, forged the first peace between the nations, and had a wife and children. He convinced thousands of people, even those who were his enemies, to see things his way. He swayed Sasuke at least some small amount.

He had presence. He demanded respect and admiration from those around him, and even slapped down Tobirama. We’re also shown him manipulating and generally messing with people socially, not by heavily traumatizing them into a broken mess and picking up the pieces.

My point is, almost certainly, the smooth frick of the pair is Hashirama. He might also be derp, he might or might not be super top, but Hashirama is the dude to look out for. One does not successfully create a (temporary but also lasting) peace and village structure out of chaos and war without being wily.

Madara, on the other hand, is savage, a little feral, and insanely laser focused. And ultimately ended up being manipulated by a plant, like every other Uchiha ever. So. Madara probably uses his chopsticks by gripping them with his fist, stabbing through the plate, and lighting anything on fire that refuses to be skewered.

His mating call is probably just to scream at the person he’s interested in.

I’m just saying.

There’s no indicator that he’s a smooth operator anywhere ever.

Ever.
