#wanda maximoff #pietro maximoffListening to NPR while absolutely sky high on edibles is a wild experience. And also tells you a lot about me as a person.
Going through one of those periods where I remember that my mental health is so much better when I’m not on this site. I’m not entirely gone, and I still always wish I had people to talk to because I miss having close friends and fandom friends, so feel free to PM me contact info if you’d like to keep in touch off this site. Email, Discord, FB are probably the easiest places to get ahold of me, but let me know what other apps/sites you’d like to use to keep in touch, and I’ll do my best. The one thing I really hate about stepping back from tumblr is how it really does cut me off from the ability to talk to just about anyone about fandom/media stuff since I really don’t have any of that IRL.
So please say hello!
I recently rediscovered the word “foof,” and I’m having a fantastic time with it.
[Image description: a black and white image showing Kirk and Spock from Star Trek: The Original Series. Both are pointing at a sign that says, “Pon Farr Night Fridays” on big capital letters /end image description]
So this is the main issue I have with image descriptions, which is that a very, very obviously photoshopped picture was not described as a very, very obviously photoshopped picture. And thus anyone who’s relying on grassroots image descriptions isn’t getting nearly enough information.
This is the original:
Which is exactly the same as the first picture, but instead says “Join the change-in Fridays” on the sign and was a promotion for their second season. This is very important context of the photoshopped image, because it’s been altered in order to tell a joke! A joke that was obvious (or… should have been) to people who could see the image! A funny joke!
But because image descriptions are just random people on the internet explaining what they see, and moreover prioritizing what they think is important about an image, there’s still a big disconnect.
The dog is supposed to run up in front of her and sit.
They did exactly that perfectly
