This was simultaneously one of the worst and best reading experiences of my life
Tumblr media
#Fuck the author but honestly. Very interestingly written#I want to recommend this but also I don't know who I would even recommend this to. I don't want to name the title or author in the post too#Because a bunch of the people in the tags I saw were very weird about the author and his works#Reading this sort of ruined my life but also gave me a lot of self reflection opportunities so thank you I guess#It took me almost 2 months to finish because I refused to read it at certain points lmao#It's so strange because I partly want to share my thoughts on it but at the same time I know that I can't#Beside my usual hesitations when posting or sending genuinely anything at all#I can't possibly make people truly understand what I think about it without sounding like the edgiest mf on this planet#I'm doubting even if it was a good book at all maybe it's just because I'm in a weird place. And I let it affect me way too much#Or rather I'm doubting my own judgment on it all. Maybe I will write something here later about it or I will start some blog about books#As in on another website lmao#A lot of this probably isn't well worded I have a killing headache and I just got done with the book. I'm a bit confused myself#Thanks for reading this way too long bs with no real point whatsoever#If you read this book and got something out of it. Feel free to talk to me about it I'll be normal#Or even if you didn't get anything out of it. I don't know anyone else personally who has read this book#Yve's Thoughts.

here, lemme just-- get all of my thoughts out there. WARNING: THERE’S A LOT.
the flashback in the beginning was nice. i know it was meant to be kinda sad and whatnot bc of their dad getting cancer but lemme just say that javi’s “hey, i was reading that!” and david’s “oh my gooood!!” was cute. also, i couldn’t stop focusing on how #tragic david’s outfit was, but that’s why i love his outfits bc they are tragic, so...... anyway, moving on. i was SO FUCKING RELIEVED TO SEE KATE AGAIN!!! her beautiful face wasn’t messed up at all and i was so glad!!! she just straight up hugged javi and completely ignored david and it’s like, you’re not even gonna ask david if he’s okay? really? bc my kate would’ve. but i digress-- i was glad when gabe finally started coming around and realizing that david wasn’t all that he was cracked up to be, but i got really mad at all the times when gabe would get hit by david. accident or not, it pissed me off. david breaking fern’s arm and shooting rufus made me uncomfortable, lol. and like, i get why he did it, but still. that whole situation could’ve been handled better. i’m at least glad that he didn’t let kate and javi get shot. i stood beside my brother and it was a nice moment and made me happy, but i couldn’t be too happy bc i knew everything was gonna get fucked up by the end of the episode. i felt bad about ava, a little, but tripp was my husbando™ and i didn’t want him to die (even tho he did gdi) and so she was rightfully pissed off at me. she said she’d pick david over me anyway so i didn’t feel too bad. the bit where david’s like, “kate walked right past me and hugged you. why is that?” and i’m like, MY KATE wouldn’t have done that, i’m sorry!!!!!! but i couldn’t actually say that so i just went with, “ask her yourself.” bc lol nah son. but then the fact that she’ll hardly speak to him, just-- kate why? i mean, i kinda get it, but still. ALSO GABE TELLING JAVI THAT HE WANTS TO BE LIKE HIM GAVE ME SO MANY EMOTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! MY BABY BOY IS GROWING UP SO FAST!!!!!!!!! the scene where ava saved my sorry ass and proceeded to die fucked me up, dude. i thought she’d last longer than that. and david’s reaction was just so-- idk. but i get it bc people handle grief in different ways. but the whole thing with the group going across that edge spiked my anxiety and i was just hyper-aware of kate the entire time. the helicopter scene didn’t help my anxiety lmao. i was just glad that we all survived that bs. plus when javi finally gets up there and he’s like, “great job everyone. just like how we rehearsed!” and kate’s like, “i think we can do better! lets go back over there and try that again!” and it just-- i laughed so hard, fffffff. the walker scene was gross af, but the fact that JAVI LITERALLY TALKS TO ONE OF THEM KILLS ME JUST-- walker: *looks at javi, makes guttural noises* javi: *looks at walker, makes guttural noises back* i died laughing at that, okay? it was fuckin’ great. and the scene in the garage-- HOLY FUCK. kate slapping david and proceeding to break up with him and THEN GOING OVER TO KISSING JAVI (AND JAVI KISSING HER BACK LIKE THERE’S NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER) LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK????? KATE!!! THAT’S NOT HOW YOU DO IT!!!! (i mean, i told david that i was in love with her afterwards, but still...) ofc that set david off, and he attacked me, but i refused to fight him. i kept telling him that i loved him, and then he warped gabe upside the head with a fucking wrench and didn’t even fucking bat an eye. like, i’m sorry, but even if i was seeing red and was trying to kill someone, the moment that happened, and i realized that i’d just hit my son UPSIDE THE HEAD WITH A FUCKING WRENCH i’d immediately snap out of it and try to apologize to my kid or something at least. i also felt like gabe agreeing to go with david was ooc af, but the writers did that shit on purpose. otherwise how could they get those separate endings they wanted sooooo bad, y’know? i went with kate, and i don’t regret it at all. i trusted clem enough to get gabe back safely and i just knew that if i left kate, she’d die and i wasn’t having that. so i went with her and helped her clear out richmond with the HELP OF MY MAIN MAN JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT’S GOOD, MAN???? I MISSED YOU BRO!! YOU LOOK HELLA GOOD LIKE THAT, DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!! but yes, so we did all that, and then clem’s back and she’s GOT GABE AND HE’S ALIVE AND SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but then we find out that DAVID’S FUCKING DEAD AND IT’S LIKE WTF?! NO! WHY?! bc as much as i might’ve not always liked david, i never wanted him to fucking DIE WTF?! also the fact that gabe’s like, “dad said for us to take care of each other.” seriously FUCKED ME UP, MAN. like damn. so kate and i go to his body (which i really hated looking at, btw. too much sad.) and she grabbed his dog tags, while proceeding to tell me about what david wanted and ish. and i was like, fuck man. that’s fucking sad af. we respected his wishes, buried his dog tags, and i said my peace and KATE DIDN’T HAVE SHIT TO SAY AND JUST SMILED AT ME AND LEFT HER FUCKING RING THERE AND I’M LIKE WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK -- and then we put up david’s pic on the memorial wall, and say a few more words, and kate brings up the fact that she wants to have a BABY??????????? naturally, i was like, ‘fuck yeah, babe.’ but still, lollllllll. i didn’t see that coming at all. AND THE BIT WITH JESUS HOLY FUCK. him thinking javi was flirting and i’m like, “heyyyyyyy boiiiiiiiiii how you doin????” bc fuck yeah. sorry, i’m weak for jesus, man. i fuckin’ ship it. and then the “hey, uh, jesus?” and “hey, uh, gabe.” IT WAS SO FUCKING CUTE OMG. THE HAIRCUTTING SCENE WAS ADORABLE TOO!!! being able to tease clem about gabe, and giving her hope about aj, AND giving her that adorable haircut???? A+++++ i loved every bit of it! tho i will say that clem has some big ears, lmao. i still love her tho. <3 THE HUG SHE GIVES GABE, THE FACT THAT JAVI AND KATE HAVE THEIR ARMS WRAPPED AROUND EACH OTHER, AND THE WAVES THEY ALL GIVE EACH OTHER, I’M JUST-- LOVED IT. and the ending scene with her looking like a total badass with that new haircut and jacket????  👌👀👌👀👌👀👌👀👌👀 good shit go౦ԁ sHit👌 thats ✔ some good👌👌shit right👌👌there👌👌👌 right✔there ✔✔if i do ƽaү so my self 💯 i say so 💯 thats what im talking about right there right there (chorus: ʳᶦᵍʰᵗ ᵗʰᵉʳᵉ) mMMMMᎷМ💯 👌👌 👌НO0ОଠOOOOOОଠଠOoooᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒ👌 👌👌 👌 💯 👌 👀 👀 👀 👌👌Good shit Clementine’s story will continue... like omggggggggggggggggggggggg. though i do wonder when they’ll finally let clem rest, lmao. and OKAY!!! i’ll now take this opportunity to say that it killed me how ooc Kate was at times. like, the fact that she didn’t at least look at david and ask him if he was okay didn’t seem like something she’d do, imo. also her ignoring david for that long and only talking to him when they’re fighting??? mmmm no. i don’t approve. the fact that she loses her shit and slaps him and breaks up with him and  THEN goes over and kisses Javi just to add more salt to the wound felt soooooooooooooooooo ooc for her. MY KATE would, at the very least, attempt to have a civil conversation with david. she wouldn’t have ignored him for so long up until that point. she might’ve been nervous to bring the topic up and that’s why she was ignoring him, but i feel like she would’ve pulled him aside after a while and talked to him calmly about the situation. she would’ve picked a better time to do it than when she did in the game. she just-- she would’ve handled it so much better than they had her do, bc that whole thing was a fucking mess. that wasn’t the kate i’d been led to believe. also the fact that she just stops caring about him at all? like, you loved him once, enough to marry him! You even admit to loving him once. so you mean to tell me that you have not even the tiniest shred of emotion left for him? unrealistic. blocked. but no, for real-- i could understand it in some situations, but it just find it hard to believe that she wouldn’t care about him at all. kate and david’s relationship reminds me sooooo much of my mom and dad’s and even though they have their issues and aren’t in love with each other anymore, and even though they don’t always get along, they still care about each other, so i’m like??? sigh. oh well... also the fact that she doesn’t say anything at david’s funeral, and just lays her ring down on the dirt pile? ooc. i feel like she would’ve at least said something. anything would’ve been better than the silence. and then to top it all off, she tells javi that she wants to start a family with him, and i’m like???? you were literally just talking about how glad you were that mariana wasn’t there to suffer through that shit and now you’re telling me that you wanna have a baby? idk. i just didn’t expect that from her. i still love kate, and i’m very weak for her, and everything else that i didn’t mention about her seemed p in character to me, but yeah. those are just my thoughts on that. and lastly, david seemed to be mostly ic throughout the game, but i feel like there were plenty of moments where he was wayyyyyyy OTT. like, whoa. like, i know that the game was trying to use him to show more depth to his character, but would also turn around and use him for confrontational purposes. also the fact that even if you don’t pursue kate, AT ALL, he STILL doesn’t believe you when you tell him that, and he loses his shit and tries to kill you. david’s character could’ve been handled better as well, i think. but yeah, i think that’s about it for now. i’ll make another post later if i think of anything else, and i’m sorry that this is so long, but i had a LOT of thoughts about this, so...

In Regards of Battlefield V
I honestly don’t expect this post to get noticed among the multitude of other things in regards to Battlefield V posted on here, but with gamers left and right on both sides of the political spectrum, as well as those in the middle, giving their two cents on the subject, I guess I might as well too. (Not like as if it would even matter.)
What I’m gonna do is a set of bullet points and give my thoughts on them, unlike others who just go on a long and pointless rant just to make a point. ----------------- 1. Women Are Front and Center Honestly, it’s a bit jarring, yet laughable to see people freaking out over this. Yes, I understand women weren’t exactly on the front lines of combat, but women DID fight in World War II. However, it was mostly in resistance groups and the Soviet Army where this happened historical wise. Could it have happened though in real life? Possibly. World War II was the war that made heroes after all. ----------------- 2. The Censoring of Things Like DLC and White Man Yet another instance of jarring yet laughable. While it’s jarring to see something like this happen, why does anyone even care? Nobody even uses type chats anymore anyways thanks to technological advancements like the headset where we’re free to speak to our heart’s consent. ----------------- 3. The Crazy Cosmetics This is one instance where I agree with those calling BS. While Prosthetic Limbs aren’t exactly pushing the boundaries of outside of the realm of immersion, something like a British soldier wielding a katana is a little too wacky. If that had happened during a moment of fighting on the Pacific Theater, then maybe it would’ve been okay as I could see the British claiming katanas as trophies from fallen Japanese Soldiers, but instead it was shown on the European Front where that just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. ----------------- 4. Fun vs Historical Ah the old Fun v. Historical debate. This one I shift into the Historical side in all honesty. Usually I’m on the fun side when it comes to games, as unlike most other gamers who tend to take things a bit too seriously, I just like to play games for fun and try to save my money for the next game that’s peeked my interest. But when it comes to things like World War I, a war I am a fan of, and World War II Historical comes first and foremost. World War I because of the tragedy and sadness behind it, and World War II because of the tragedy and sadness behind it with the added in implication that failure could mean death for the rest of the world. Can a World War I & II game be fun? Yes. Just look at games like Call of Duty: Finest Hour, the console port of the first CoD game to a degree yet sort of its own thing, and the infamous Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, the console port of CoD 2 to a degree yet still its own thing. But usually History should be more important when it comes to the two wars that has more sadness and tragedy behind it than a soap opera. ----------------- 5. The Tone Shift I honestly think what also turned off people from Battlefield V was the tone shift from Battlefield 1. In Battlefield 1, none of the stuff in Battlefield V was there, the game was dark, gritty, and sad, and it kept that consistent tone throughout the game’s single player and multiplayer. It was a game that grabbed you by the balls from the word go and refused to let go. But then we shift over to Battlefield V where the tone shift is REALLY obvious. Gone is the dark, somber, and gritty tone of the last game and instead we get a (frankly) goofy, balls to the wall, and exaggerated take on World War II. It honestly turned me away from the moment I realized that because when it comes to tone shifts, they can either make or break something and if they backfire they can REALLY damage the product. Honestly, people just weren’t yet ready for something like this. ----------------- 6. Don’t Like? Don’t Buy! I honestly have nothing to say on this other than, “EA why the fuck do you keep shooting yourselves in the foot with Karmic Retribution shit like that? I can guarantee you if they keep it up by 2022 EA’s gonna be looking at its constantly lowering stocks and wondering where they went wrong. I’ll tell you where you went wrong, you idiots keep shooting yourselves in the feet and can’t afford the hospital bills!” ----------------- 7. Why It’s Failing There are MULTIPLE reasons as to why this is failing. One, it’s horrible marketing. Two, its release date problem. (Yes I am aware that they tried to fix it but the damage has already been done.) Three, its nightmare of a PR team poorly treating gamers and consumers like as if they were uneducated. (So a High School Diploma means I’m Uneducated? Do you see the warped logic these PR people follow?! -_-) But these are the three primary and intermediate causes among all the other political stuff I’d rather not get into. Pre Orders are down by 85% and it looks like Battlefield V will find its way with Ghostbusters 2016 and Oceans 8 as flops. Another reason I can name off the top of my head is the same problem the two above made the mistake of doing in regards to PR. “We have women front and center and you’re sexist if you don’t like us.” Lets see what happened because of that; Ghostbusters 2016 was a flop. Oceans 8 was a MASSIVE flop. Battlefield V, well you already know. ----------------- 8. The Fall of An Angry Man Battlefield V so far has done nothing but bring out the worst in people. A recent example being Angry Joe, a well known Battlefield fan who ended up getting a lot of backlash for videos he made calling out people who were criticizing  Battlefield in regards to the women, cosmetics, and so on calling them Uneducated Trump Voter Conservatives. To say people got pissed off was an understatement. The man who I used to be subscribed to is no longer the case now. I’m not just gonna stand being called an Uneducated Trump Voter Conservative by a fan boy trying to defend things people have valid criticisms and concerns over. And from what I understand he’s still in hot water if any of his recent video’s like to dislike ratio is concerned. To conclude, this was basically my two cents in regards to everything going on with Battlefield V since everyone seems to be getting in on it. I hope you enjoyed reading, if you even bothered to look at mine. This has been Tina Arnold, recently come out transgender, and I guess this is my first post.
