Loki season 2 episode 4 spoilers

Somehow, and we really cant explain how, they managed to kill Loki again.

Yes, after the 3 main ones. Yes, after being erased from time and space. Yes, after being erased from even outside that (that was his older version though). Somehow. They managed to kill him again but more for reals this time. What te fuck. How

#he'll be fine #theres just no timelineS #and no place outside or beyond then #m #beyond space and tine #theres #okay so the mcu and all its variants (sony #what if etc) should no longer exist anymore #in canon #thats #well Im sure theyll be fine but thats a huge bitch of a thing isnt it #its gonna be interesting for sure #(imagine the next episodes were just 40 min black screen) #also timely my man #lmao #deserved #poor dude #but lmao #ms minutes my clock petty until the end what an icon #loki s2 e4 #loki spoilers #loki show spoilers #loki

per request here's the diner Romina worked at (top photo is a shot from the film) i can't confirm whether or not the interior is completely the same because in 2018 it closed after being purchased for renovations. it only reopened a little bit after the height of the pandemic. all i know is that a window and metal railing were added to the backside shown here

#next time i take a trek out there i'll probably go in haha #i haven't had the time to do much outside of art stuff #.rambling #luke glanton #tpbtp #the place beyond the pines #taken after christmas hence the garland #.mine #ryan gosling

there is a creature in my house and I love her so much but every time I go outside I see people walking their dogs and I get very very sad that I do not have a dog

#whenever I’m outside it’s ‘why did I get a cat that was so stupid you know you’re a dog person’ #and then I’m home and she’s in front of me and I’m like ‘this creature is my everything I love her beyond reason’ #this has been a post #and I mean. one day I will get a dog. that is inevitable #but all the reasons I chose not to get a dog right now are still like. valid and in place so

i still think its insane that im expected to believe that grrm gives arya this arc that consistently features her fearing she has no place within her family or society bc of her nonconformity and bc of what she has done to survive only for her story to end with................her deciding she has no place within her family or society bc of her nonconformity and bc of what she has done to survive......so after an entire storyline of running she ends up in a perpetual runaway state, leaving forever 

and if i do not embrace that as a satisfactory conclusion for arya’s story then im the “bad fan” lol

#how many hundreds of thousands of words? just for her to come to the exact same conclusion???? #that shes an outsider? a monster? #broken beyond repair? #without a place in the world? #i dont need a happily ever after #but exile?????? #fuck that lmao #and i was one of the arya fans who acknowledged (unhappily) that it might be grrms fault #until i watched that post s8 interview #where he says we have to wait and see what endgames he has in mind for arya #and sansa #that was my get out of jail free card

Remembering how someone once brushed off the criticism of v5 being mostly in a single room by saying "most sitcoms take place in a single room!" as if Remnant isn't an entirely new world with unique landscapes and cultures that should be explored

#rwde #the disgrace of using friends and bb9 to back up this dumb argument as if nyc isnt one of the most popular places for stories to take place #it can happen in one room bc the outside is FAMILIAR #you can glaze over things bc most people already get the gist. dont waste everyones time describing the familiar #but when the setting is so far beyond our normal - typical of fantasy and sci fi - then you absolutely NEED to go outside and touch grass #or martian dirt or radiation resistant plastic or whatever #can you imagine if star wars had taken place almost entirely in one room? #thats how stupid this claim is #i know im being petty but life is v ugh rn so whatever #tis harmless whinging #and more shock that people can excuse literally anything in this show #i know i take some shows personally but i cant imagine going this hard for anything

As knowledgeable as I am with Warframe after god knows how many years playing it consistently I am genuinely. So bad at teaching players stuck at the midpoint progression wise. And not because I was carried out of it quickly or anything - I know for a fact I was trapped in the midpoint hell for a very long time due to lacking a carry but my memory of it is just utterly gone due to how long I've comparatively been at the endgame.

So whenever as a MR30 I'm asked for specific advice like what weapons and Warframes to prioritize and how to build stuff I'm just like uhhhh shit. Fuck. Hang on let me open up the goddamn Wiki so I can remember most things' MR levels let alone if you can even obtain specific mods at your point of progression.

#warframe #the main advice i can give with full confidence is to not overextend yourself with your arsenal #find a loadout and Warframe that works both with your own playstyle and with the content you're working through #and do your best to stick with it and not expend too many resources on other shit until you are at a point where you can afford it #make upgrades and replace stuff as you are able to unlock and use them but don't do what I did and start hoarding as youre still learning #you can hoard later once you're powerful enough to comfortably solo most content outside of steel path #and once you're able to handle steel path then you're really off to the races #also try your best to learn how your chosen arsenal works stats wise and make your own builds whenever possible #once you unlock it and have scans of common mid-endgame mobs test everything you build in the simulacrum #and avoid overframe beyond just getting the general Vibe of whats typically used most on specific weapons and warframes #you're not going to get helpful or accessible advice there. trust me. that place is a toxic hellhole #fiver.plays

Why can't we just love eachother and help eachother and cry for eachother when we hurt and laugh for eachother when we're happy. What happened to radical acceptance and beauty. Why are we self-separating using white suppremist ideas about identity. The idea someone needs some pure property to be worthy of adopting a community is point blank a white suprematist idea. Where is the understanding of mistake and pain.

We are so alone and isolated in this generation and we are playing directly into the interests of those in power by further self-separating. Focus on some important fucking shit.

#essentially #get class conscious #explore spirituality #and understand that a human being is an astounding phenomenon and every single one is amazing and terrifying #and is worth the effort of understanding #and accepting #ok yeah I had 6 shots at 3pm whatever #but fr the time someone cut me off bc I said I don't care about hehim lesbians #like in real life #crazy shit (they later apologized which was sick as fuck of them) #just the fact it spills out beyond the internet is horrible and the internet isn't great itself #bc it could otherwise be utilized as an extremley effective tool for praxis #were it not for infighting #like. i know a lot of white queers who avoid 'straight' seeming poc or jocks or whatever the fuck #idk I understand anxiety fully #but if u continue to stay within a social comfort zone #you will never see the beauty of expression possible within humanity #and placing more value on queer white friends than a straigh black friend..... not great. it's not great. #implicitly aligning with your anxiety or discomfort over how another person operates #not great #I've seen queer white ppl treat homeless ppl like SHIT bc ' my anxiety!!' #its fucked up #and it makes me understand why certain demographics see queerness as a rich white phenomoneon (it's not but it makes me understand how ppl #can accept such a ridiculous narrative) #bc white queers such as myself only experiment with radical thought and action within the comfort of whiteness #anything outside that it's the same old white attitude towards others #idk like. what do u do when u meet a homeless guy who is antivax and scizo #do u jsut write him off as a loony conservative? anti lgbt? what do u do? #I've seen this contradiction arise and I'm #just deeply ashamed of how my community is prone to reacting

You know, considering how many posts I recently made about Movie Peach and how negative they are, there’s something I feel the need to clarify since I wouldn’t be surprised if people had some assumptions and I don’t want words I didn’t say being put into my mouth (Tl;Dr at the end):

As a completely original character, fully detached from everything other than the movie, I have no issues with Movie Peach. She’s badass in a fun way, spunky, has a few cute faces, and I especially appreciate how despite being a strong female character stereotype she’s very supportive of Mario and builds him up rather than putting him down, it makes her likeable and their relationship very cute.

And yes, this is the way I perceived her from the get-go, but only mentioned it in my movie reaction post made all the way back when said movie came out, hence needing to say it again now. To quote that post: “Least favorite character is DK. It could’ve been Peach but my issues with her stem from how different she is from her games counterpart. If you take her movie character as a brand-new character rather than a game adaptation, she’s actually pretty great as a guide and strong mentor.” And while there are things in this post I now disagree with, this part remains my current opinion.

So yeah, as an original character, she’s pretty great...but that’s also the issue.

Movie Peach is not an original character. She’s supposed to be an adaptation of a pre-existing character who already has her own personality. And as an adaptation, Movie Peach fails at every level. Not only that, but several dialogues keep hyping her up in a way that comes off as Illuminations looking down on Games Peach, you know, the character their own Peach is supposed to be an adaptation of.

That’s why I take such issue with Movie Peach. It’s not the character itself, it’s how bad of an adaptation she is. And if I did my job correctly, every single time I talk negatively of her in my posts, it’s about her as an adaptation specifically. The only instance of me being an ass for no reason is in my table comparison post where I call her a dumbass, which I point out in the tags to be me throwing shade and not something I actually believe.

Now I also want to say that I hate Movie Peach for what she represents and the consequences of her existence on Peach’s character and her perception by the public, so to keep it short I’m going with bullet points:

It annoys me a lot that a multi-million dollars company couldn’t be bothered to adapt her character properly, especially since they apparently closely worked with Nintendo and the concept art very much show them who Peach is as a person (the one where she’s encouraging Mario to fight DK reminds me of the 86 Anime where she keeps having Mario fight her battles while powerless to defend herself; also it’s funny how in the art of Games Peach reacting to Movie Peach it’s obvious the artist had no idea what personality Movie Peach has). The fact she’s a favorite character of mine doesn’t help and makes me feel robbed from seeing a beloved character on the big screen for the first time. And obviously them low-key insulting her by hyping up Movie Peach makes it worse.

Even before getting into the fandom I knew that Peach isn’t the most well-liked character, with many gamers especially finding her bland and boring. This was already sad on its own, but now those same people are praising a character who’s completely different from her for being “so much better” or “finally giving her a personality”. It sucks. Games Peach deserves better than that.

With those things in mind I don’t think I need to explain why the fact this characterization is possibly bleeding out into the games is something I dread. Now I can live with a cover art change, but if they change her actual character I’m going to scream. Especially if they only do it to Peach and no other character. And yes I know some people also pointed out a possible direction change for her voice but 1. for some reason I don’t really care, possibly because she’s been through quite a lot of voice-actors already 2. we only clearly hear her voice in the Showtime trailer during the Kung-Fu part so maybe her voice will differ depending on the costume, it is a stageplay after all, and 3. the Wonder short with Bowser has her let out four noises, one of which has a different tone while the other three keep her usual high octave, so I’m not sure if they truly intend on changing her voice. Haven’t played Wonder yet tho so I can’t speak to all her other voicelines.

Hopefully this will be my last post about this outside of answering asks and reblogs as I’m always open to discussions/debates. I don’t like bringing negativity and especially not drama to my blog but, considering the extensive rant I made about this, it only feels right to make sure people don’t misinterpret where my issues come from, since I can absolutely understand people seeing my posts and concluding that I hate Movie Peach for who she is rather than what she represents.

Now, instead of being negative about Movie Peach I’d rather focus on being positive about Games Peach, mostly through the fics I’m working on.

Tl;Dr: Movie Peach would be genuinely great as an original character but alas she was put inside the skin of someone with a completely different personality from hers. And it's very hard to look past this given the consequences of Movie Peach's existence on how people percieve Peach as a whole now on top of a possible change in her games character.

#Super Mario #Princess Peach #Movie Peach #Mario Movie #Flor talks #long post #yeah I'm getting a bit more personal in my explanations here; it's not an analysis post like the other ones after all #but thing is the main reason why I take such issue is BECAUSE I love the character so it feels personal #I mean I wouldn't be talking so extensively about a bad adaptation of a character if I didn't care about them #oh and for those asking what did DK do; I just don't like his character archetype #tbh I feel like an ass rn for complaining about such trivial stuff when a LITERAL GEN/OCIDE is taking place; and things are getting worse #but I want to put the whole comparison thing behind and this is the last info that needed to be said; so it needs to be posted now #and I mean it this time when saying it's the last post outside of answering asks; I said everything I had to say #(but yeah I don't like bringing politics into my blog as I want it to be a place to enjoy fandom content #but what's happening right now in pales/tine is beyond horrifying #and the fact politicians are using 'we don't want to be called bigots' to justify their inaction is utterly disgusting #just admit you can't be bothered to help instead of hiding behind false political correctness)

aro culture is wondering why some people have so much problem with being single that they start hating on every couple

.

#Anonymous #aro culture is #aro #aromantic #actually aro #actually aromantic #ask #mod alexander #imho i find that those individuals tend to be thoroughly unpleasant to be around in the first place #typically due to acting entitled to a romo relationship #so my general vibe is that it comes with the territory of upper middle class bs #but honestly i also see it in ppl who are used to codependency and are struggling with the concept of not being in a codependent #relationship. they typically seem to feel that not being a relationship is a sign that absolutely no one will ever want them #and tbh i feel like that second group in particular is likely to come from abusive households #and struggles with the concept that ppl *can* be nice outside of obligations to you #so it's viewed to some degree that all ppl in relationships that don't include them = none of those ppl will care about them #nonetheless i am not a good person to help those individuals beyond pointing them at the concept of therapy #typically in the context of something else because i find codependent ppl typically believe (and i'd assume at some point were 'taught') #that anyone trying to inform you that codependency is harmful... is trying to force you to never interact with them #but that's my observations not necessarily science or anything

the thing I keep thinking about really intensely is that yes, for like 99% of their acquaintance, Crowley was the one who had more understanding of the way heaven and hell really work. but for that brief moment in their first meeting, he genuinely was more naive and idealistic than Aziraphale. like, Aziraphale was scared, even back then, at the thought of questioning god; even right back before the beginning, some part of him knew that he was fearful and unsafe, and he realised that before Crowley ever did. 

it’s honestly almost like some kind of, Aziraphale fell first, Crowley Fell harder - he never completed the realisation the same way Crowley managed to, but he arrived there earlier. And I wonder so much what exact kind of effects witnessing the demons’ fall had on him, given that he’d already obtained some of that awareness that he perhaps was not in a very good place to be. but the only alternative of places to go, as far as he knew, was at the very least just as bad, and in some ways legitimately worse.

#good omens spoilers #good omens #aziraphale #crowley #i think it's interesting because i know there's been comparisons to irl religious sects/cults with aziraphale #but i feel like the idea of the alternative to your current bad place being somewhere Worse works in like #a metaphorical sense but less so in a literal one #because i think that the thing with irl conditioning is the Worse Place is generally just anywhere outside of the community #which is made to appear as somewhere hostile and unwelcoming as part of the conditioning #and like sure earth is not actually that #and in that way does represent the not-so-bad and potentially good place that the real world actually is #in comparison to the community that wants to keep him #but equally in aziraphale's case #hell is not a tool for fearmongering or a thing you can like #eventually discover not to be an Absolute Belief the way it's presented #Aziraphale's situation in comparison to irl religious indoctrination is really weird because hell is REAL #and genuinely is awful #there's a terrible place beyond the neutral real world where he could actually end up #and we know it was awful for Crowley being there #and heaven is awful too but they are both notably distinct from the kind of potentially awful which earth can be #and i do this with pretty much Every fantasy/scifi heightened version of irl phenomena which i encounter #but it's gotta have a different impact on your brain right #getting out from under your conditioning somewhat because you've found the neutral real world #and you're experiencing stuff that challenges your beliefs and shows you that there's more than you realised #but at the same time that moment of realising that you don't have to believe in the terrible consequences you were raised to fear #never comes #because you KNOW that place exists #and you know somebody who went there and despises it #who in fact actively works to prevent you from having to go there too

just realized never explicitely mentioned it in here I think, but my oc Shlee is very much nonbinary. like he just never really had time/community to process what it would mean for him specifically, how that would inform the way he'd like the world to perceive him or his gender presentation or whatnot, but shlee's experience of being alive is Absolutely (and inescapably) genderqueer. How could it not be.

#shlee #ok when I typed shlee my tags wanted me to write shleepy #which #good job past me you earned a chuckle #but when you're a salarian male raised by asari and isolated from the world #and then when you do get out of the world you let everybody gender you in whichever way is more convenient #and it means basically nothing to you #like #to him “male” means nothing beyond being an extension of “salarian” aka “alien” aka “different from people I know” #but I don't think he would place any value on being male outside of that --he wouldn't even know he's supposed to or what that involves #especially since there's no clear external secondary way of telling the difference in his species anyway #also: being raised by the asari #what even is gender to him at this point but a vague concept as abstract as administrative districts #especially for someone who doesn't have any legal recognition of his existence #anyway I don't know why I felt like writing meta about Shlee again after a year of radio silence #I don't know I was just thinking about my little guy!!!
