THE RANT MEME


You know what really grinds my gears?

...well, pretty soon, everyone's gonna know. Because I'm gonna tell you! Sometimes, when it comes to what's really stuck in your craw, you just have to let that shit out.

HOW TO PLAY
[+] Comment with your character's info and all that, but DO NOT LEAVE YOUR TOP LEVEL BLANK.
[+] Why? Why, your character's about to get whatever's on their chest — that little fly in their soup, the hair in their ointment, their pettiest of peeves or their bombastic declaration of rage — out in the most therapeutic way known to man: the rant.
[+] Even if your character's not the type, they're spilling their guts. Assume it's the effects of truth potion or something. I'm not your dad. Do whatever.
[+] Other weigh in on such hard-hitting topics as world politics, parental abandonment, thoughts on OTPs, or the justification people have for raisins in cookies (y'know, Avenger-level threats and war crimes).

Why does everything have to happen so early in the morning? The majority of people want to stay up late, they don't want to get up early. Most of us aren't working farms anymore, we can adjust 'normal' time ranges and everybody would just be happier.

[photodiver]

Sounds like you need more coffee.

[jadedlynx]

Coffee comes after you're awake enough to taste it. Anything before 10:00 AM should be accepted as too early to be up.

I do not smell...

[oyasumis]

You smell like sweat sometimes.

!!!

[wheniflex]

[ Sunny, you too??? ]

But that's not necessarily bad, right? I mean it's hard not to get sweaty in summer.

People who talk loudly during movies are usually idiots. I promise you your jokes aren’t as clever as you think they are, and nobody but your dumb friends want to hear them. It’s possible they don’t even want to hear them but for whatever reason that they keep you around - probably to feel smart for a change - they have to pretend otherwise.

And this goes double for you cell phone talkers - what the hell? You pay so much for a ticket just to ignore half the movie? What sense does that make? Ugh!

[muitenpen]

Right? There's no need to suffer just because they have poor manners.

That's why it's okay to make them be quiet for good.

Oooohhh Mahito! [laugh track]

[moondregs]

NO!

[epitaffio]

[What he says:]

H... Huh? Are you talking to me??

[What he means: "Shit, fuck, shit, what does this guy know?!"]

[moondregs]

Are you talking during movies?

Harley Quinn | DCEU | OTA cw; murder talk

[fantabulousandwich]

Yeah, sure, I kill people. You know why? Because people are assholes. We're talking guy on a date, ordering surf and surf and a bottle of wine, who spends the whole time looking down his waitress's shirt and then doesn't tip her level of asshole. We're talking a guy who sees a strange girl at a bus stop, wearing headphones, and tries to make her take them off so he can hit on her level of asshole.

People who cut in line when you're stuck in traffic. People who fucking interrupt you when you're talking, or who wear a hat in the front row of the movie, or who call you a dumb bitch because they're too stupid to think up a better insult. They won't learn better; and nothing you can do or say is going to change them. So frankly? The whole city's better off when one of them takes a baseball bat to the head. One less asshole for everyone else to put up with.

Everyone thinks about it. I'm just the only one with enough balls to pick up a weapon.

[umbraeternam]

Men like that are a waste of oxygen, I completely agree.

Some people... well, perhaps not deserve to die, but the world is better off without them.

And then there are those who do things that are very deserving of death and really we're doing everyone else a favor by disposing of them.

[fantabulousandwich]

Well sure, genocidal fuckheads and human traffickers, shit like that, no question. Knock their heads so hard off their shoulders they hit the stratosphere.

But have you ever worked in the hospitality industry? Trust me- any guy who blows $300 on a night out with his date and then doesn't tip- he definitely deserves to die

Because them in the same room would be amazing.

[violent_leaf]

Lady, you're nuts.

[She smiles, offering a box.]

Want a doughnut? I got these off a guy. I mean, those two hit the ground when he did but the rest are ok.

[Her attitude makes it clear that wasn't necessarily an insult.]

See, me I just kill the ones that are bad and supposed to die and stuff. Like doughnut guy. Pretty sure he was working for whatever a cartel is? Anyways I hit him with a backhoe. The swingy bucket thing. He like...

[She makes a hand gesture to indicate soaring.]

OMG I've been meaning the see this series for AGES. Read the books like a century ago.

[fantabulousandwich]

[Harley considers the doughnuts. They don't look too bad- and they're still in the box and everything. She grabs one with pink frosting, and takes a bite.]

Thanks- And good for you, girl. [The words are somewhat muffled- yes, she's talking with her mouth full.] Organized crime's never good news. And it's still such a man's game, am I right? The only famous Godmothers you hear about are in fairy tales.

The Empire was right.

Look at the outcomes without it - centuries of stagnation before it; decades of turmoil thereafter. Only to replaced, in one of the timelines, by inadequate successors and attempted Sith magocracy.

Flattering though it is to note that the worse outcome is the one which occurs in which my stabilizing role is missing - these are hardly ideals. And speaking of - what ideals does the Rebellion, the New Republic, or the Resistance espouse?

The same ones that created the vulnerabilities in the first place.

Dear today's villains:

You schmucks.

Honestly, have you no theater in your puny little souls at all? There used to be a rhythm to these things, y'know? It wasn't about the body count or being all GRIM and DARK - there was an art to these things, a poetry.

Half of you putzes have forgotten presentation, the other half are trying to look like you fell face-first through the world's only vertical leather factory.

You have to slow down, stop trying so hard - proper villainy ain't forced. You've either got it or you don't. So, in short? I do, you don't.

Learn the rules.

And for pete's sake, would it kill you to use a ticking clock? Schmucks.

[hobblepot]

[A gatekeeper of villainy – that’s new. He can’t help snorting, crossing his arms as he settles into a tall wingback chair. Though maybe the true joke here is the fact that he hasn’t a clue who he’s actually dealing with.]

I take it you have a certain nostalgia for the bygone days of moustache-twirling and the tying of damsels to railroad tracks? [He quirks a smile that doesn't reach his eyes.]

[violent_leaf]

Look, all I'm saying is that you'd have a lot less problems if you just, y'know, took me to them?

I kill bad guys. That's me. A leaf in the stream of creation n' stuff. You keep, like, trying to reason with them or talkity-talk talk stuff and then they like kill your dog or whatever because they're jerks.

So lemme deal with it. It's actually my actual job and stuff.

[statementfuckingends]

...how good d'you think you are at killing people who are all-knowing [He waves his hands with the term, derogatory as all hell] and keep talking their way out of their bloody consequences?

[whitefeather]

[Interesting.]

There's a more efficient way you could do it, you know.

[He doesn't sound all that heated, because he never sounds all that heated, but:]

People who run into things face-first and fluke their way into succeeding always get more credit than people who plan. They're even valued over someone who's objectively more skilled because they go off half-cocked and apparently that means you care more?

It's bullshit.

And to whatever genius wants to say I'm jealous: I'm not. I cultivate low expectations of me. It's other people I'm mad for.

[whitefeather]

Hm? I mean...

It's not like going off like that doesn't always means it's because someone cares more than someone that thinks things through.

[guildmastermind]

Flukes are always going to hit a situation someday where they can't just bumble their way through. Eventually, planning always wins out--they get to a point where they need people like us.
