#Here I go complaining again

[fallsaparttoday]

I've really been trying to measure my expectations with the amount of Chenford's relationship we'll see onscreen (because this is an ensemble show after all) but the decision to not show everyone's reaction to their relationship does feel like a gaping hole in the story. Tim and Lucy made such a big deal about the station finding out about them and then...nothing. The writers have done a lot right with their relationship this season but this is a huge miss.

#chenford #here i go complaining again #but they have like 22 episodes in a season #we couldnt get one scene? #these writers are mostly incompetent #dumb the rookie things #like all those storylines focused on angela and wesleys wedding #and when they actually do get married they cut the scene #like... #im annoyed now

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.

capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.

now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.

and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.

and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.

and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".

it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

#this was much longer i had to cut it down for legibility #but i do want to say i am aware this post doesnt touch on human rights violations as a result of fast fashion #that is because it deserves its own post with a completely different tone #i am an environmental educator #so that's what i know the most about. it wouldn't be appropriate of me to mention off-hand the real and legitimate suffering #that people are going through #without doing my research and providing real ways to help #this is a vent post about a thing i'm watching happen; not a call to action. it would be INCREDIBLY demeaning #to all those affected by the fast fashion industry to pretend that a post like this could speak to their suffering #unfortunately one of the horrible things about latestage capitalism as an activist is that SO many things are linked to this #and i WANT to talk about all of them but it would be a book in its own right. in fact there ARE books about each level of this #and i encourage you to seek them out and read them!!! i am not an expert on that i am just a person on tumblr doing my favorite activity #(complaining) #and it's like - this is the individual versus the industry problem again right because im blaming myself #for being an expert on environmental disaster (which is fucking important) but not knowing EVERYTHING about fast fashion #i'm blaming myself for not covering the many layers of this incredibly complicated problem im pointing out #rather than being like. yeah so actually the fault here lies with the billion dollar industries actually. #my failure to be able to condense an incredibly immense problem that is BOOK-LENGTH into a single text post that i post for free #is not in ANY fucking way the same amount of harm as. you know. the ACTUAL COMPANIES doing this ACTUAL THING for ACTUAL MONEY. #anyway im gonna go donate money while i'm thinking about it. maybe you can too. we can both just agree - well i fuckin tried didn't i #which is more than their CEOs can say

I really like how they handled Golbetty.

An all powerful, inscrutable chaos goddess, utterly inhuman, and yet her reactions still feel strangely understandable. She never communicates, and yet they still dealt with the relationship drama. They left it ambiguous if that conversation was with truly her or all just in Simons head, resolving the issue to himself (I think he was speaking to her). She's a dark and terrible deity who will body The Lich into a Tetris block and refuse to elaborate, and act in ways that constantly leave you questioning her motives, and perhaps imposing your own on her chaos.

Unknowable, all powerful, unpredictable.

But you touch her Simon, and she will turn you into bugs.

#fionna and cake spoilers #fionna and cake #adventure time spoilers #adventure time #Golbetty watching Simon almost screw it up again #“Not this time. You're going in someone else's head till you learn your goddamned lesson!” #“Oh complaining there's a world in your head? It's a dandelion now. Now fix your problems!” #“Alright. You're fixed Simon. I'm getting out of here.” #“WHY DID YOU THANK ME WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO EAT YOU?!”

Every time I play Pokémon Scarlet I always end my play session by running over to Arven's room to complain about something or to give him a summary of what i did or whatever

Which is ESPECIALLY funny when it comes to the DLC because my character is flying across ENTIRE REGIONS just to complain to this poor man

Door slams open "Arven you will not BELIEVE the audacity of this bitch-"

"What the hell are you doing here???"

#kai wont shut up #its actually started to effect my day to day #ill drop a plate and go ''arven can you believe this shit??'' #my favorite one was after i met a dlc character again (not saying anything cuz spoilers) #so in the middle of the challenge i flew over to Paldea and- #-in the blueberry academy uniform which i feel like really adds to the visual here- #-complained to arven about how much of an asshole they were #he's not even my favorite character idk whats up with it #him and his dog are just very fun to talk to idk what to tell you #arven pokemon #pokemon arven #poké posting #pokemon scarlet and violet #pokemon scarlet

#talk tag #rant #i guess? #i feel super bad about complaining in here #but where else would I go with it #I just got a stressful job and keep messing up #not the job itself. but relationships with coworkers #it's so stressful bc I don't wanna come across as mean #it's just my face/voice when I'm not constantly making sure it's soft and nice #I don't wanna be mean #can't just go and say “it's the neurodivergence” #since I don't even know wtf is wrong with me #<- afraid of therapists #bc if I go to even one therapists and disregards my struggles I may just cry. and impostor syndrome again #rambling in the tags #will delete this later #i just needed to get this out #I also keep infodumping to clients and not sure how that's gonna fly with the bosses #...probably not well #english is hard today wtf #tw vent

“They’re making the dance about Alicent and Rhaenyra when it’s supposed to be between Aegon and Rhaenyra!!!!!” buddy, the source material is called the Princess and the Queen, and you won’t like who the princess or the queen is, but one point at a time

#anti dumbfucks #alicent hightower #house of the dragon #hotd #hotd season 2 #hotd s2 #so late to the party but here i am #started reading fire and blood again #which inspired this latent thought #the way they twisted this into ‘pitting two women against each other’ #literacy in general died a thousand deaths #and then they complain about ‘fandom misogynists’ #buddy YOU’RE removing a woman from her pivotal role and giving it to a man #jesus fucking christ #also jaehaerys’ chapters are impossible to go through #he will get me and my shotgun one #day #fire and blood

Idk if this is controversial, but studying for a English/writing degree at university shouldn’t make you NOT want to engage with writing or literature. Just a thought.

#the amount of times one of my literature professors presented us with the worst reading or interpretation (some of which were just plain #revolting) of a piece of literature almost as if she were expecting us to like it just because it was sensational and me and everyone else #going ‘um. no. sorry. not only does that make no sense but now I kind of want to throw up’ #I just came here to read some gothic lit and honestly I’m feeling so attacked right now. (my fault for signing up for gothic lit I suppose) #her English survey class made me never want to look at the written word again #however I know this isn’t me having an issue with survey classes (although the rate they make you read at is kind of ridiculous and I read #fast: case in point for one of them I had to read Huck Finn in 9 days) #because I took American Survey from another professor and it was really challenging but probably the best course I ever took at university #I was not expecting to develop such a distaste for the academic world at uni but maybe that’s just my university (whenever I complain about #this my mom always tells me I need to watch Dead Poet’s Society lol) #siggggghhh anyway. hoping for some better classes with my exchange program (although none of them are writing/English as I’m almost #finished with my degree) #english lit #university #english #college

btw if you know good ways to deal with an achey heart (this is not a physical condition btw I just happen to be in love for the second time in my life and it is awful) I would also appreciate practical wisdom!!!

#ladiessss this is simply.............. not it!!!!!! #i have done my bit of weeping and wailing in this vale of tears and i cannot do it any longer :))))) there is TOO much going on #for me to drown in this ish. especially since ** ***** ******* **** and **** ***** **** ** #i am seeking the good of the other i am doing my best not to be self absorbed and sentimental and too transparent #however it is a hard time over here especially with everything else going on #i don't usually get so sad that my chest physically hurts but this is where we're at right now!!! #once again asking for help and prayer #it was fine (...ish) in september but i'm unfortunately down REAL bad and there is no end in sight only horrid things one after another #also i am so sorry that all i seem to post is miserable stuff whenever im here it seems like all i do is complain these days while posting #there IS so much to be grateful for and i often forget that in the wake of Tragic Things there is STILL hope and joy and goodness #the waiting room chapter

looking at my sprites from like a couple months ago is crazy because i look at them and then look at my new ones and think God those suck im so glad i got better at art ( even though its been like . 3 months )

#short-time improvement is crazy i love it #this is some thing im good at clearly #also dont say anything about my old sprites #ive complained abt old art before and been told ‘ oh but its really good though !’ i didnt i DIDFNT ASK !!!! #even if its not that old #still upsets me a little !! #actually when im complaining abt stuff i make in general #like i am never fishing for compliments if im dissatisfied with something i dont really want my opinion changed on it #snyways thats your aquared fun fact of the day #you guys are allowed to like my own stuff new or old just dont convince me to like it ! #thoughts directly from my brain edition #here i go talking again

“gee i wonder why there’s still so much more fanfiction about male characters” “we need more morally complex female characters” “i love relationships that are doomed by the narrative” “more stories need to treat mentally ill characters with compassion and respect” “all his problems could’ve been fixed if he only went to therapy” you fuckers can’t even handle the ending of fionna and cake

#i’m not one to go online and complain fruitlessly about how media literacy is in the toilet but jesus christ #it’s actually devastating seeing so many people actively reject a brilliant and emotionally challenging show #all because they refuse to examine anything about themselves #if you’re genuinely pissed petrigrof wasn’t endgame and the show couldn’t quote unquote let them be happy #if you’re seriously mad your favorite doomed yuri was in fact doomed by the narrative #if you can’t enjoy petrigrof anymore because you now know it’s quote unquote problematic or toxic and not a perfect tragedy #please i beg of you watch it again #this show beat you over the head with a children’s book and then you misunderstood it somehow and then whined about your headache #and if you for realsies believe this show is pushing an unhealthy message with how it handled simon’s depression #this show that showed him so much compassion and understanding and gave him closure and let him move on and grow and seek help #if you think betty was too harsh on him #the betty that sentenced the man who doomed her to life #to live a happy and healthy life #to seek help and grow and become an individual not defined by his grief #if you think that’s seriously equivalent to telling a depressed person to just cheer up #then you are legitimately anti-recovery #i really hope you guys learn how to engage healthily with complex media #one would’ve thought steven universe taught us all a lesson #but i guess a million casper and nova level stories won’t be enough for some of you #here’s hoping you don’t just kin simon but actually follow his example #get therapy #loony rambles #fionna and cake #simon petrikov #betty grof #petrigrof #adventure time
