How Dare They - Tumblr Posts
If you’re wondering what the whole drama regarding tieflings is in the Dungeons & Dragons fandom: basically, capitalism ruined tieflings, and for once that’s not even slightly a joke.
Tieflings were first introduced as a playable species in Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition, via the Planescape campaign in 1994. At the time, there were no particular rules regarding what a tiefling was supposed to look like. The text explicitly stated that their basic physiology could vary wildly depending on what their fiendish ancestor was, and one of the first major Planescape supplements even included a table for randomly generating your tiefling’s appearance, if you were into that sort of thing.
This continued to be the case up through the game’s Third Edition. However, when the Fourth Edition rolled around in 2008, the game’s text suddenly became very particular about insisting that all tieflings looked pretty much the same. Some campaign settings even provided iin-character explanations for why all tieflings now had a standardised appearance. Understandably, this made a lot of people very annoyed.
There was naturally a great deal of speculation concerning what had motivated this change. It was widely cited as “proof” that Dungeons & Dragons was trying to appeal to the World of Warcraft fanbase – which was nonsense, of course; nearly all of the Fourth Edition’s allegedly MMO-like features were things that popular MMOs had borrowed from Dungeons & Dragons in the first place, and to the extent that tieflings’ new look resembled a particular WoW race, it was in that they were both extraordinarily generic.
In reality, it was a change that had been lurking for some time. Though Dungeons & Dragons is directly published by Wizards of the Coast, Wizards of the Coast is in turn owned by Hasbro, and Hasbro has long regarded the D&D core rulebooks as a vehicle for promoting D&D-branded merch – in particular, licensed miniature figures.
This was a bugbear that had reared its head before. When the Third Edition received major revisions in 2003, Hasbro corporate had ordered the game’s editors to completely remove any discussion of how to improvise minifigs for large battles, and replace it with an advertisement for the then-current Dungeons & Dragons Heroes product line. Implying that purchasing licensed minis wasn’t 100% mandatory simply would not do.
If you’ve gotten this far, you’ve probably already guessed where this is going: tieflings having no standard appearance made it difficult to sell tiefling minifigs, as any given minifig design would only be suitable for a small subset of tiefling characters. In the brutally reductive logic of the corporate mind, Hasbro reasoned: well, if we tell tiefling players that all of their characters now look the same, we can sell them all the same minifigs. So that’s what the game did, going so far as to write justifications into several published settings for magically transforming all existing tiefling characters to fit the new mould!
This worked about as well as anyone who isn’t a corporate drone would naturally anticipate – and that’s the story of how capitalism ruined tieflings.
I opened Instagram and was greeted with this.
I am once again, unwell.
My thoughts on 9-1-1: lone star season 2 episode 8 (bad call)
• so I’m stressed for this episode
• cause I watched the promo which I don’t normally do but for the episode I did for some reason
• also 9-1-1 was relatively calm which normally means lone star will be dramatic so join me for the ride
• also side note I’m watching this at 1:10am just for the lols
• yay!
• fire fam feels
• and Nancy’s there as well
• shit! They haven’t told TK about the baby? That’s not gonna end well
• that’s not good

• this is not gonna end well
• can someone explain what the Texas rangers are? Are they police are they fbi? Serious question there is nothing like them in the uk as far as I know
• I was prepared for TK getting hurt not Carlos!! I am not mentally stable enough for this
• if at any point in this episode they have TK break his sober streak I will be very annoyed
• STOP MAKING CARLOS SAD!!!!
• while I’m loving supportive owen he should probably save some for TK cause at some point they gonna need to talk about the baby
• yay! A proper fire rescue
• Judd does not need the stress of another fire team getting blown up in front of him... again
• saying you can’t comment is a shitty way around not complimenting your son!!
• go Carlos you tell him!!
• well this is not gonna end well
• someone is gonna get shot or at least pistol whipped
• smart TK! Making good decisions under pressure
• are they planning on ending this episode with both TK and Carlos being traumatised?
• TK’s gonna do something stupid isn’t he
• I take back my comment about TK being smart
• well shit!
• no! Carlos is getting anxious and I don’t like it
• if it weren’t for the blood TK kinda looks like he’s sleeping
• BAMF!Vega is on the case
• “I’m angry” ✨iocnic✨
• I did not like the noise TK made it did not sound good
• what the hell is wrong with that dude he should not have that much strength
• and he shot his brother. Great. Just great.

• both Nancy and Vega are BAMF!!!
• yes!! Help has arrived!
• the way TK said “ his baby” 🙁🙁😩
• they did not need to traumatise TK and Carlos to get them to hug, I mean I appreciate the hug but still, next time can we get the hug without the emotional scarring ?
• Owen standing up for Carlos!!

• they can’t tease us with Ryder babies and then do that??!!!!!!!!!!!!
~cute animal time~
~you get all the animals cause that was a stressful episode and we deserve it~
Jungkook on v app 꽃놀이패
So this v app program is really causing a lot of anger from armys and others watching because of mainly how stupidly the program was planned out, and the two cast mates 조세호 (Cho SaeHo) and 서장훈 (Seojang Hoon) making rude comments and speaking inappropriately throughout the whole broadcast.
As much as the minority are making it out to seem like this is army’s fault for excessively voting on Jungkook, It definitely is not, because the voting system itself has been set up invalidly, and I thought for international fans I’d explain the situation so far in attempt to clear up some confusion ..
So the first big problem is the planning of the show, and the people that have been casted into it.
The plan of this show is that viewers on v app will vote on the v app broadcasts by selecting the camera (eg. Cam 2 was jungkook) and giving hearts to vote for who they want to be the leader of the “flower path” or the “dirt path”. The leader of the flower path (who was inevitably voted as jungkook) is to select 2 more people for their team and the leader of the dirt path (least votes counted) is meant to chose who they want to go with. The flower path would mean going to some vacation spot, having good food etc whilst dirt path would get “a fish” for dinner and stay in a shabby house. First problem here is that the planning of this show was SHIT because obviously jungkook would be getting the most votes (if they bothered to take into consideration how many hearts on average bts get for their live broadcasts, and the fact that OBVIOUSLY fans of bts that watch v app would be the ones even WATCHING the damn show). So here they failed to consider how the whole thing would work out. This is what starts off Cho Saeho and Seo Janghoon’s similar-to-ranting talk for the whole broadcast.
Secondly, Korean Armys are infuriated at how Cho Sae Ho and Seo Janghoon treated Jungkook throughout the broadcast (not forgetting to mention Kim minseok/Yoo Byungjae etc who they compared to with jungkook and made remarks such as “do you even have fans”).
At the beginning Jungkook brings food (hamburgers etc) for those that were waiting because it’s his first variety program that he’s starring in, and obviously it can be seen as an attempt to start off the show with a friendly welcoming atmosphere. Then comes in Cho Saeho, who decides to make some sort of “joke” where he says “They look like leftovers” and he outwardly (and rudely) rejects the offer. 유병재 (YooByungJae) and 김민석 (Kim Minseok) have the courtesy to say thanks and accept it and later on when the two of them are eating, Chosaeho (who earlier rejected the offer) starts to comment at them saying “Are you guys stuffing your faces only?” With rude language. (like tf is his problem?)
Next, (Im not sure what exactly happens at this part) but they make jungkook, A Variety show newcomer (also important contributor to the show), sit on the floor holding the food he brought as gifts. The image of this is floating around a lot buying lots of anger from armys.
Secondly, Seo janghoon makes rude remarks by pressuring Jungkook and continuously commenting on how popular he is during the broadcast and going to unnecessary lengths to bring him down and ask him “How old are you?” and when jungkook says 20 (in korean age) he proceeds to tell him to sit straight as a form of “discipline” which to korean fans, obviously comes through as a form of “showing him who’s boss”. At the same time he keeps raving on about how he met jungkook through a show in the past and tries to keep up some act of friendship with jungkook, making a heart with him infront of screen. He also continues to talk loudly and over the top of all the others leading to silence from everyone else except him and Chosaeho. He also talks about how before they arrived they had eaten everything Jungkook wanted and going on to say how much he’s been trying to match his preferences, and this has Jungkook looking really guilty. Once Yoo Byungjae/Kim Minseok points out the comments on v app chat where army’s are saying “Stop burdening jungkook” “Seojanghoon stop talking” He then goes on to downplay his actions and say his comments are “for fun” which nobody seems to agree with..
Most importantly, Jungkook is clearly uncomfortable throughout the whole thing with his name repeatedly being spoken and the show not making progress as the two talkative people are only making comments about him (when the show should be focused on everyone appearing) and to not buy bad impressions from the older cast on the show he makes gestures telling armys to not vote for him/ partly because he doesnt want the burden of choosing who he’ll team up with as well. During the broadcast jimin also tweets “Looks like you’re always going to be the flower path leader because of armys” but he uses the word “때문에" which gives off the vibe that it’s army’s ‘fault’, making armys feel a negative nuance in his words / feel guilty.
So I havent stated every little detail with complete accuracy and I think some twitter translations have more specificity on who said what, but basically armys are asking for the show to be cancelled completely and are not looking forward to how the 9pm(Korean Time) broadcast happening soon will turn out… :/
.
Still can't (and will never) get over the fact that Ever After High was cancelled because of Disney descendants, and that is why I refuse to watch those movies 😭😭😭😭
aw fuck they changed shit
And people wonder why some idols are ill or suicidal
PLEASE SUPPORT THE EAST LIGHT
These sweet, talented boys have been disgustingly abused by a producer in their company for years and their CEO did absolutely nothing to stop it, and even participated in the abuse. These boys are between the ages of 18-15 and this has supposedly been happening since 2015. This is disgusting and unacceptable!! Please send them kind messages on their SNS and let them know your support! This behavior can’t go on and I’m glad they’re finally taking action against it. Please give them the love they deserve…
