It's really fucked up when you treat characters like people and people like characters.

[playerkingsley]

a character being tragic does not preclude them from being a clown, a loser, evil, a bitchass punk, and/or someone who needs to get their shit rocked

I haven’t blocked any main critical role tags, which admittedly says a lot about my motivation to ever catch up, but I DO have candela blacklisted and I’ve been wistfully scrolling past all of the blank posts on my dash

#hopefully in the next few weeks. I’ve decided to focus on naddpod binging between old d20 content but who knows! candela might be next #my attention is ever capricious

The fact that Jonas Spahr seems to be heading on an express route to Breach, while totally reasonable to us the audience, is absolutely fucking nuts from the perspective of your average Trustee, since they lack the context of his internal monologue and several key events that were not part of the public record

To become incredibly Canadian for a second, the average citizen's perspective on the matter would be like if the federal government blamed the cost of living and housing crises solely on the Governor General and had him removed from office, and he turned up a week later having joined a grassroots anti-monarchism movement. Divorced from context Spahr's turnaround time from key government official to seditionist is absolutely ridiculous

#the average trustee’s perspective is Insane: #new prime adsecla? disappears in disgrace & is probably dead. weepe? comes out of NOWHERE like a fold monstrosity from horror teletherics #armed with knowledge of an infamous murder case & claims to rescue the economy. #+ everything outlined above re: spahr of course who’s essentially the rockstar of the company #midst #midst podcast #midst spoilers

so sad that people got sick of "doomed by the narrative" and decided it was cringe, because fate and free will in fiction has been a major interest of mine for like eight years, but alas so it goes. anything that gets popular is destined to become reviled in short order. it's like some sort of unstoppable, uncompassionate, avaricious cycle of rising and falling and rising again. like whatever happens, no matter the intentions, it will always result in the same tragic ending. you could almost say it was d

trying to describe black sails to people is my personal sisyphean task. “it’s a pirate show” bad. “it’s functionally a prequel to treasure island but also it’s not at all” bad again, and also confusing. “it’s about pirates trying to destroy western civilization” mostly only true of the second half of the show and also doesn’t fully capture what i love about it. “it’s a pirate show about the power of stories, how civilization uses shame to keep people in line and turns them into monsters, and the power of queer rage. it’s got some of the best acting, writing, everything of any show i’ve ever seen.” the most accurate, but way too long and makes me sound pretentious and insane. send help i just want to talk about my favorite show.

We did already know this based on the fact that he bagged both Lark and Harry, but the latest appendix really is just rubbing it in our faces that if there’s one thing Sherman’s got in abundance it’s game. He incurred caenum for getting too much pussy + dick. they needed to take his ego down a peg. He sold out Lark because he was tired of being the most sought after person on Midst. The sex appeal of the Black Candle Cabaret? That was all him baby. And he even cares lovingly for his daughter and braids her hair? Absolutely unfuckwithable. Where do I sign up.

Astrology's weird bc if you've only ever had fun with it and come across someone w seething hatred for it you're understandably like, what the fuck is this person's problem? But also if you've seen someone take it Too Far, any mention of it understandably becomes a red flag

Like imagine if you really liked Pokemon and you're like, "I really don't see why people would hate this unless they're just assholes for no reason?" Like it's a totally normal opinion opinion to have. But also imagine if you took a quiz and learned you were a Bug type and people stopped talking to you because they were like "It's in your nature to be emotionally manipulative." It would also be totally normal to be like "Oh okay fuck Pokemon fans then."

Now you may be like, "But the latter situation doesn't happen!" and that tells me you are fortunate because you have not dealt with the worst that the west coast of America has to offer
