Ask you about Amphibia season 3? Okay.

What did you think of the decision to have Marcy in a coma and then possessed for 90% of season 3?

Oooh. Now that. Now that is what I call a sore spot, buddy. Warning: this is gonna be a long post

Simple answer? It was okay-ish

More real answer: it was a disappointment

I genuinely was very excited to see possessed marcy, I was excited for it since the little s3 opening preview after true colors official airing and well... it felt like for me things peaked at olivia and yunnan... and then went absolute downhill from there on.

I love the possession trope, I love possession arcs, I think marcy being possessed would be a very good writing idea bc it represented SO WELL how abuse worked. Like tell me what screams "marcy was groomed by an adult and is being abused" than her after being almost killed, having her bodily autonomy being ripped away from her! It was a good metaphor! It was perfect!

Like LOOK AT THIS. LOOK AT THIS AND TRY TO TELL ME THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE AN ADULT GROOMING AND ABUSING A CHILD! YA CAN'T!!

Olivia and yunnan brought a lot of interesting stuff to the table: how olivia and yunnan felt about marcy (and this is another can of worms to me to rant so let's not even begin), how ANDRIAS felt about marcy, how marcy was healing from her almost death experience and how her body was dealing with it, how she was dealing subconsciously with her guilt, what made andrias and the core think about making marcy the host etc etc! Like so many good stuff! And i felt like after this ep. All these things there were little snowballs that could become an avalanche of events... instead turns into dust.

I HATE how darcy was a character that instead of being used to showcase how marcy feels about all those events and instead of showing MARCY'S emotions about being betrayed ... it was used to showcase andrias emotions and to make him look sympathetic and allow him to have an atonement arc... I hate it so much.

Like don't get me wrong I loved the complexity of him being part of cycle of abuse so intense that it affected all his other relationships, I loved that he cared about marcy! I love that he cared about her because it showcased how abuse is complex! How an abuser can care about his victim but still feel such pleasure in hurting them!

I love these scenes because it shows exactly that:

Care

And sadistic pleasure:

Like these scenes were great! The complexity of him loving her but also still torturing her and having a mixed reaction of loving/hating seeing her suffer. Mwah chef kiss! But every scene where he was around darcy was made to showcase how he was regretting his choices and making him look like an poor man who had no other choices then kill and torture this child like...that's obviously not true...

These scenes? Oh I hate these scenes:

I wished marcy's possession was used to show how MARCY felt about herself and her guilt, about how she felt about her relationship with andrias and his pain towards him, about how she losing her autonomy felt, i wished they showed her escapist fantasy created by the core waaaay before the finale!!!

If yall wanted to show a scene that focused on marcy while still showing andrias complexity why not create a scene of how their flipwart match went? Or any bonding scene from >> HER << point of view? From a scene that focused on >> HER <<

Now at fear of repeating myself too much a resume of everything i said: marcy s3 arc was not truly about her but only a device for us to create sympathy towards andrias, her abuser, and all the scenes of him reminiscing about her and their relationship (like this one)

Should have been scenes focused on her point of view instead.

The only moments where the core/darcy was used to truly further marcy development/emotions were:

- during the beggining of the end where darcy told Sasha and Anne about how they rejected marcy's interests

- during her escaping her fantasy land

- and in the ending where she told everyone what was the cores intention with becoming the moon

But aside from that? It was wasted potential in my opinion

Ps: (Andrias should've died and marcy deserved to show even the slightly amount of anger towards him as well. As a little treat)

Fable hell is looking at Logan and not enjoying the way the story portrayed him at all. Listen the way the game treats this man does not make sense and I could fix it. You want Tortured Morally Gray Logan? Make it about revenge!

Killing the crawler isn't about saving the world, or even saving himself. The crawler killed his parent, and he is going to see the monster undone! Let the guilt eat him as he makes harder and harder decisions. Let his hair start out brown and turn black from the residual Will in his blood. Let ME SEE HIM. LET ME SEE HIS HAIR TURN BLACK AND HIS EYES SINK IN AND HIS SKIN TURN PALE. You want True Villain Logan? Cool! Let Logan resent his lack of Will. Let him hate his name and his family. Let him attempt to kill the crawler for his own glory. Let him be driven by greed and glory!!! I personally think Tortured Morally Gray Logan is my favorite and thank you for coming to my TED talk the way fable 3 handles the plot twist is bad and please come back when I talk about how much I hate the final fight.

#dante speaks #fable 3 #logan fable #LISTEN I HAVE SO MANY OPINIONS AND I LOVE THE FABLE SERIES BUT ALSO FABLE THREE COULD BE SO GOOD #IT COULD BE SO GOOD AND THEY MAKE IT A COP OUT A LITTLE BIT PLEASE LET ME SEE LOGAN AS A PERSON BEFORE HE BECAME A MONSTER #I'M TRAPPED IN FABLE 3 HELL AND YOU ARE ALL COMING WITH ME #HONESTLY IT'S JUST FABLE HELL #I LIVE HERE #Fable Hell

Dante huffed as he was preparing a feast for royal guests coming. He sighs as he finished and went back to his room to relax. The holidays were always so stressfull.

ABANDONMENT

Abandonment issues has you subconsciously sabotaging good bonds and situations with people, because you're already expecting them to leave.

Abandonment issues cause you to push away people who generally cared for you.

Abandonment issues mentally let's you justify ghosting people.

Abandonment issues will have you finding every little reason to not trust someone.

Abandonment issues has you overthinking every sentence someone says, and every action someone does.

Abandonment issues............

Abandonment issues will cause you deep rooted loneliness, that never seems to go away.

I use to think I wasn't that bad of a person. Maybe not great but not horrible. I'm not perfect , Like I don't bully people. I don't call people out there names. I don't harm people. I dont understand why I'm so terrible dealing with people. I can be a little emotionally distance or not very empathetic . But I can't keep anyone in my life for very long. I see literal violent people emotionally and physically cruel to others. Yet they have long terms relationships and a lot of friends around them. Don't get me wrong I'm not dumb, I know everything isn't as it appears on the outside. And those people could probably be getting abused, manipulated or exploited by them in some way. But it's still a odd social dynamic to me. That maybe if I was a more horrible person, I'd actually have people who care even if it they're pretending.

Dante turned red at the thought of his treasure being lewd with a pillow. "Didn't know he thought of me that way..." he was brushing Sooley, who was purring loudly and rubbing against him. "I would like to have heirs in the future. For Solaria of course... I'd like to take him there maybe sometime"

Quincy yawned and smiled. "My fluffy cloud is super cute when flustered. His tail wiggles like crazy." Topper was sitting on his shoulder and putting a flower crown together. Or more like he was just putting flowers in the blondes hair.

So I'm getting ready to publish Dustlings and I haven't talked too much about what the story is about, just my progress. So here's me talking about Dustlings, because it's really important to me. Dustlings is about Bridget, a girl in her late twenties who finds herself in an abusive relationship that suddenly ends. It's a story about self discovery and recovery. It's about healing after the collapse of a relationship you thought was going to be what defined your life. Through some circumstances Bridget falls into a magical world, filled with things like Elves, Orcs, Goblins, and more. She has to find her way back out because humans were banished from this world long ago and her presence isn't exactly welcome. Battling an injury caused by her fall and helped by a small group Bridget must find her way home before she's discovered, or somehow stuck for good. It's about finding yourself after suppressing who you were, it's about magic, and grief, and foraging your own path. It's about love. I've worked so hard on this because it means so much to me, and I hope it means a lot to the people who read it too.

This is just the beginning for me, I'm just getting warmed up.

Dante huffed as he was wrapping up presents and Sooley was laying by his feet playing with ribbons. Dante didn't notice the other come in or open or close the door. The cat at his feet was not a good guard animal either. He finished wrapping the last present and turned around seeing Lambo there. "You nearly gave me a heart attack I wasn't expecting you"

Before I looked more into this incident. I thought "oceangate" was what people was calling this terribly executed deep sea expedition and not the name of the actual company. but in hindsight it's quite fitting.

I'm trying to make sense of things. But life isn't math. I wish I could use logic to solve all my problems but it's never so direct. It's counterintuitive and largely pointless and hypocritical. I desperately want to live in this world like everyone else. I break down every component to do just that. But the pieces just don't match, unless I go completely adjacent from society. Although it goes completely against it's own narrative. But why?? Why does doing the opposite works more times than doing things how's it's portrayed. It was always "fake till you make it" but it's more like "fake it till they believe it than continue faking it some more" a massive performance like existing is all just a show, a contest with who can put on the best act. But I can't tell if I'm winning or losing. I guess it depends on who I'm performing for.
