#Nor Sold

[partangel]

look what came in the mail 🥺🥺🥺. very small october book haul due to the amount of time its taking me to read what i already have (mainly war and peace, which has been proven to be a very enjoyable but slow journey)

#i got too smug with my late acquisitions and all books i have to tackle are enormous. read les miserables & moby dick #im trying not to falter however and buy other books just to leave those unnatended because of intimidation #cant wait to read hesses the glass bead game however #i dont think ive said this before but steppenwolf was definitely one of my favorite reads ever. siddharta was fine in comparison i think #but steppenwolf really sold hesse for me. sorry #and yes i never read neither dracula NOR frankenstein which will be my spookyfest choices for this year #i was convinced by a friend on trying the waves although woolfs a room of ones own did nothing for me #but here we are giving second chances. very proud of myself #ANYWAYS besides war and peace im also reading the sea the sea (finally) and loving it #unfortunately did not pair them very well since they are both very long reads #BUT. it is what it is

Why are people who look at comic books from a “critical real-world lens” so obsessed with identifying the one person who is “100% right”. That doesn’t even exist in the real world.

Lost Days wasn’t made to protest global issues. It is a comic book exploring fictional character Jason’s mental journey after being resurrected and regaining consciousness against his will and/or power. Now how dare this character, in his own story where he has his own personal objective, not go out of his way to make sure each individual child from the collective hundreds he saved from traffickers and the likes gets adopted into nice homes. Obviously we have to disregard any good he did or that he cares at all because all he did was kill the fucker at the top who was responsible. Winick also never fleshed out all 42 of the trafficked children into nuanced characters with their own thoughts and feelings which was apparently neglectful lol.

In regards to utrh, Idk what this person read but there were more drug dealers Jason didn’t kill than those he did. Not once did he ever say he wanted to eliminate the flow of drugs in the community. He took over the trade. Not to mention he explicitly stated control vs elimination is where his goals differed from Bruce’s pipe dream hence why he’s successful and Bruce is still failing. Obviously if you completely misunderstand the character’s motivations you’ll find issues that don’t exist.

People just don’t want stories to be about what they are about, huh.

#kelseethe #the dealers Jason killed met their fate because they either disobeyed him or were in his way. not because they sold drugs lol wtf #which that is obviously not a ‘😇’ thing but again who tf cares #it’s not like they were relief workers they were drug dealers. also this is a fictional story #anyway I think Jason typically not striking drug dealers and thieves in utrh demonstrates more forethought #than repeatedly throwing them in prison which will perpetuate the problem anyway #And doesn’t target the root either #Jason explicitly says he isn't trying to fix every single bad thing that can ever happen in the world. #because that isn’t feasible nor possible #no what he does is kill people who cause large amounts of immediate damage and that actually is a difference he can feasibly make #so why exactly would *Jason* being the one to forfeit his ideas be a demonstration of character growth #also #god forbid there be limitations to what Jason can do with the time and resources he has #And that he has his own plans and itinerary #because how dare he not properly fix every systemic/political issue in Russia Africa and the UK every other country he went to #nobody needs to ‘read theory’. I did that years ago in college this isn’t the same thing #And as for Gotham War … it feels like every new issue we win some we lose some #but also it’s funny that you’re saying ‘everyone pls listen to my rant & also ignore the recent comics that contradict what I’m saying’

informative graphic on if you should play touhou mystia's izakaya (6 dollars on steam)

#i didnt like touhou before i played the game and now im a touhead. so #say what you will this fan game really does make u a fan of that game #i have nearly 200 hours in this fucking game and i still havent gotten all of the achievements nor have i beaten the game. #the part that really sold it for me is the full keyboard controls so u can play it during class/on a laptop #i love a lot of video games but so many require mouse controls which. on a trackpad??? in this economy? girl. #its gotten to the point where i can play this game while laying in bed half asleep listening to noise queues to open my eyes

i caved and ordered a slime. i will never recover financially

#ramble #i wasnt into this stuff until this month #where i saw slimes in my yt shorts recommended and went 'eh why not maybe ill see what the buzz is about' #an hour later i'm a slime expert listenjng to the asmr and drooling at scooping compilations #at first i was like 'ok it looks nice but i dont need it' #then i found out theyre scented and all my remaining self control evaporated #ive been holding myself back for a month. today i saw that the brand that got me into these is doing a christmas collection + restock- #-at midnight today. and theyre always sold out bc popular indie brand so right after restock is really the only chance #so i caved guys. i ordered a slime. i paid for shipping. my finances nor ego will never recover. #😔

We always discuss how badly El needed a female friend (she got Max), how Nancy needed a female friend (now she has Robin) but why do we never discuss how badly Steve needs a friend that is around his same age?

Sure, Steve's friends with Dustin and is very close to Robin (he's the only person that knows she's a lesbian) but imagine Steve becoming friends with Jonathan?

That would be so beautiful, poetic and it will literally kill two birds with one stone: Steve gets a male friend closer to his age group, he bonds with Jonathan, they both see how great each other are as a person and regardless of what happens with Nancy, more character development ensues and everyone is gonna love to see those two interact.

It's a win-win situation!

That's how we get Stonathan.

#also #the ga seems to hate jonathan cause he smokes weed? #like #it's so dumb #as I've mentioned before #eddie sold drugs and nobody bat an eye #but jonathan got high like 3 times and stopped smoking once shit got real and people demonize him for it? #f*ck them #i have never smoked anything in my life nor i will be and if jonathan wants to get high let him! #becoming friends with steve will bring him into a positive light with those dumb people that “hate” jonathan as well #this is how the stonathan agenda grows #muahahaha #jonathan byers #steve harrington #stonathan #st5 predictions #my post #my ramblings #tal-vez-o-quizas

stop saying ‘[insert asoiaf character] would be team black/green!!!!’ i will bash my head into a wall

#asoiaf #tfw someone misinterprets a character so badly u need to take a break #daenerys would not be team black nor team green she would not gaf about this infighting and would most definitely not condone the actions #happening on either side. not to mention trying to imagine her in the dwd doesn’t even make sense because she is a character of circumstance #what i mean by that is that a lot of what she does is because she was born in essos in exile with only her abusive brother as a guide and #company. she was sold and lived a life of poverty so frankly i can’t imagine how she would relate to a conflict as pointless as the dance of #dragons #sorry this is so lengthy and silly i’m just TIRED

I'm always talking about how thinking about Jon and Jon-El's parallels makes me wanna eat cardboard but today I thought about how very different Jordan and Jon-El are when it comes to the whole attention/fame thing is and I just..

#how jon-el never asked nor wanted the fame and attention but his parents pretty much forced him into it after he revealed his powers #then he started to lean into the attention he was getting because he never felt seen or heard in his family #and when his parents tried to parent him he wasn't having it because they never cared about him before #and why should he have to listen to them when they're the ones who put him in these situations #they sold him out to fame and decided they'd rather be his managers instead of his parents #it's not a surprise he pretty much laughed in their faces when they tried to parent him #jordan and jon-el both have 'parents are the reason we act this way' in common #except jordan's is because they babied and spoiled him while jon-el's is they neglected him and ignored his feelings #i'mma stop here because i could talk about jon-el forever #his character is so interesting and complex for only being a few episodes #superman and lois #jon-el

since I'm thinking abt it, I feel like it's always a good time for the reminder that your kidneys main function is to filter your blood to balance your body's fluids and remove waste to be released out of your body in your urine

if your kidneys are functioning properly then they are already doing any "cleansing of toxins" your system may need automatically all of the time, just like they're doing in the bodies of countless other species

The human body is very successful at surviving and has evolved to do so!! it's a very cool thing the way your body works to support your everyday life in ways that can pretty much eliminate the need to manually enact basic survival functions like the beating of your heart or the filtering of waste harmful to your body!

I guess I just wanna say like. unless you truly have kidney disease or other organ failures/disfunctions - in which case definitely do seek medical intervention - you can trust your body to take care of that for you

don't let anybody shame you into thinking you should be out here doing cleanses and paying significant money to try to hack into what your body is already doing for you naturally,

and try not to let human intelligence and ego undermine the success of a body plan that has been successful for vertebrates for at LEAST tens of millions of years

#in case anyone actually sees this post : #I'm not a medical doctor #and I'm not an evolutionary biologist (maybe someday) #and I'm not an archeologist nor doing have any expertise in geologic time #but I was thinking abt my old roommate sophomore year of collage #college* #and the ease with which people can believe they're failing their bodies health by not buying into certain things #when they are not regularly reminded or otherwise informed about the ways in which nature has already found solutions #it's easy to buy into a juice cleanse if you think you're unhealthy and don't have the knowledge of kidney function active in the front of #your mind #it's easy to buy into a lot of things if you're sold them a certain way #but a lot of these things are trying to reinvent a wheel that can't be removed from the vehicle yk? #not to say that it's all harmful or useless that's too broad #but its good to be aware of base processes connected to the problem you're looking to solve #before investing in additional solutions #this is not to say that your body does everything #or even everything it's supposed to #all of the time #just that like #it's good to check in with yourself about what your body IS doing #as a step in that problem solving #bc sometimes the solution is built into you already #and the problem has been sold to you in exaggeration #idk #this is honestly kind of a vent bxbzjsjd

I wanna flesh out a yakuza oc but every time I think about it I end up thinking about an oc of mine who already Exists who’s not a yakuza oc. but is, in fact, an oc who is a yakuza. and that fact is genuinely completely unrelated

#he existed WAY before I started playing yakuza or knew really anything about it #actually he contributes to why I got into yakuza to begin with. cause when my friend first showed me y0 I was like ough… my character #grew up in this exact environment and culture and structure and etc (son of a patriarch) #so it was legitimately a good reference for his background and stuff #I kinda wanna talk about him/his background more on here but. like i said he’s. not technically a yakuza oc #and he can’t be because he. canonically. has PLAYED yakuza. like the games EXIST cause it’s just a normal real world type universe and #I won’t get into all this much but he ends up in the states on the dl for Reasons. accidentally ends up with a son when he’s 22 (son’s #mother being significantly younger but again we’re not gonna get into THAT mess). ends up seeing the first game being sold somewhere in nyc #and is unable to restrain his curiosity about it (as an Actual Yakuza) so he ends up getting his son a ps2 for his birthday partly just #as an excuse to buy and play yakuza 1 because he NEEDS to know what’s in it #something something it ends up being a weird bonding thing with his son who’s definitely too young to be watching this game being played #(he was born the same year as haruka so he’d be like. 8-9. also already a concerningly violent child with many issues but. anyway) #something something he ends up disappearing out of the blue from the states when his son is 12 but the pastime still sticks for said son #from then on. so uh. yeah weirdly significant that these games Exist in this story/universe bdsjhfdfjnd #idk why I’m avoiding saying his name. his name’s asura. he’s a year or two older than daigo (born 1974) and his family’s supposed to be a #pretty powerful one in the tokyo area and he was supposed to be a nepo baby sorta like daigo except he’s not Technically an only child- he #has a much younger sister. but obviously she wasn’t gonna be considered for taking over their father’s seat nor would she want to #she wants absolutely nothing to do with any of it and changes her last name pretty soon after moving to the US to get away from them #no beef with her brother or anything she was just treated absolutely horribly and disgustingly by older members of their family growing up #ANYWAY I should stop talking bdshshcbsnnf I didn’t mean to infodump all this the lore is just. deep with these guys #Asura wasn’t even made to be a particularly prominent character or anything it’s his SON who’s a Bonafide Main Character and asura’s ties in #the story are mostly related to Him. (though his sister is also a pretty prominent character so there’s connection there too) #rambling #also one more note. yes. the timing and location of where asura would’ve first bought yakuza 1 means that it would most likely be the #infamous original english dub version. which is hilarious to think about #especially because his son’s mom (I keep calling her that because they weren’t really in a Relationship they just co-parented and lived #together a little less than half the time. it’s complicated) Did Not Approve of a game that Adult around their kid. so she would not be fond #of walking in the room and hearing TEN YEARS IN THE JOINT MADE YOU A FUCKING PUSSY #luckily she was so young and considered her son a lost cause and a burden as it is so. she complained but didn’t really do anything about #it. I mean shit she was like. only around 24-25 I think. but yeah

seriously why the fuck aren't heroes and shadow available on steam. 06 and unleashed too. they could port the adventure games onto pc, but not these other games that released on the exact same consoles and hardware as those?

#at least we've got P-06 and dolphin emulator but those aren't good enoughhh #P-06 is a fan made remaster and the responsibility for making these games available falls on sega #like okay. you can port your most popular titles but nothing in between? #I can understand why the storybook games never got ports given that they require wiimotes like that's fine whatever #I mean it's not #but porting wii games is always gonna be messy unless nintendo's doing it #and nintendos not going to do that. #argggh. I was able to get copies of (most) of these games because I already had a gamecube and wii #but not everyone HAS a gamecube or a wii. nor are either of these games being actively sold anywhere #it just really annoys me that they ported their golden children up but not the mixed/poorly received games #so there's sonic generations and the adventure games available with fucking. sonic 4 and sonic lost world #colours is at least available via ultimate but that's its own can of worms im not touching that rn #uruugghhh. I want to just boot up these games without having to pull my fucking wii u or gamecube out #espeon cries #haven't even touched the gba and ds titles who also deserve to be available on modern hardware #heyyyy nintendo and sega put advance trilogy on nintendo switch okay? ❤️

#;ooc #ooc #did u know k.aito was deemed as a commercial failure when he first came out? #he was supposed to sell around 1000 copies to be relatively 'ok' but sold only 500 in a year #for contrast; m.eiko sold 3000 in a year #its also the reason why other male v.ocaloids werent developed after his release #neither he nor m.eiko were intended to get updates but after m.iku came out; they got more recognition and boom! update #also his codename was t.aro which is apparently a sort of placeholder name for male characters #kind of like; how in a.rgentina u have the name juan which is a very common name for guys #IN ANY CASE I LOVE HIM SM #i love m.eiko too; LIT QUEEN FRFR #funky lil software!!!!! #its him or j.ekyll- or both- #tho j.ekyll i can always just add him here since -f.ate s.ervants supremacy- #but then i also wanted to revamp my a.rthurr and dantes noooooo #UGHGHGHGHHHHH
