so i didnt hate n’s route for book 3

#to each their own #but i was expecting a lot worse #given how people were upset #that's all ima say #i mean barring the entire plot -- #maybe i read through it too fast bc im trying to get to valdam lmao #but i really enjoyed THEM. lmao. #disappointed i didnt get more mason and kai moments tho #i WILL SAY i get why people were annooyed re: the fight (even tho i had kai get over it) #but i feel it was less a fight (tho maybe it will feel more stark on kendis who will remain Big Mad vs Kai who is unbothered) #and more a difference of views made intense bc of the moment #i also feel like resolution is to come? #more than f and m i felt n's route will be a two parter -- like each romance ofc flows and grows between the books (with improvement in appr #oach as they go) but i feel fs came to a conclusion #and even m's in a sense #while there's more of a question for n's that will probably be sequaled and addressed in book two #i mean part twoo which is book four #but idk #twc book 3 #twc book 3 spoilers #n x detective #kai x nat #kai x nat pt #twc meta #... i suppose #ish

idk man but i think theres such a connection between will being possessed in s2 and like 'what happens when my boy is gone' and will giving the painting to mike under el's name. just like... will being replaced and then replacing himself. and like his entire person was being replaced by the mf, but also everything that he said was from el with the painting and speech was intrinsically his and his alone. and how his arc since s1 has been about hiding but also being right there. and how its all tied to his queerness. and how ideally in s5 this should lead to will not hiding/moving on from his identity and his feelings, but instead embracing them.

#like what happens when will has given away/up everything that he is. hes already Come Back Wrong and he just like. keeps removing himself #from things. even after it was done To him by the mf/vecna. and like the only people who can 'bring him back' are jonathan mike and joyce #ship of theseus moment (not really) #but also really. i mean idk about actual philosophy but will is the heart of the show like its literally about how people love him so much #and like. his identity and queerness is to integral to it all. and like okay some of his parts were replaced but the love brought him back #time and time again and it will in s5 too. #or whatever that means idk #which is also why will should kiss mike. not the other way round. and i will die on this hill even after it doesnt happen #and also why will just moving on and 'accepting' his feelings are unrequited would be a dogshit resolution to his arc with mike but wtv... #what im trying to say is in s5 will not hiding and being loved and not replacing himself with anything else and kissing boys is not just #smth that should happen bc he deserves happiness. but smth necessary to complete his arc. okay? okay #will byers #byler #i feel like ive made this post 5 times before but its just smth i feel very strongly about sorry #wheww... category 5 will byers moment. #me vs being coherent and concise #mine

I have nothing of importance to say other than ep 7 and 8 were amazing. They once again went back to the importance of friendship. We saw Joon Pyo and Ji hyun being very close and we finally saw how deep and important their friendship is. He worked for him, he took care of him and kept up schoolwork for him. The fact that he didn’t even have to think twice about accepting Ji hyun and genuinely being so happy that he finally liked somebody was so sweet. The boss being the second person Ji hyun wants to see is so adorable and once again shows his close relationship with her. Ae ri is also just so great. She doesn’t back down from her seniors who were in the wrong and protects her friend even when he’s not actually there. I think it’s very good that they focused on the friendships more and that they keep their own themes about it that have been shown even in the earlier episodes.

Jae won was going through it but honestly I can’t blame him. He saw the person he cared most for at the moment almost die right before his eyes. Something that seemingly already happened to him once before. His last conversation with Ji hyun was harsh but honestly I didn’t expect anything else. In his head this really is the best thing they can do and in his head he probably thinks he is helping Ji hyun (even though he obviously isn’t)

Also the two headed snake whose names shall not be named because I simply do not have enough respect for them…. I hope you people die in a ditch. Dude snake was WAY OUT OF POCKET and I do not understand how one could joke about something like that. I get being frustrated but I wouldn’t even say something like that to the person I hate most. Girl snake is getting pathetic. She sees how hard he is having it yet only thinks about how she finally has a chance again. It’s not even intimidating, Ji hyun is not scared of her it’s just sad and even if Jae won and her get together it’s wouldn’t be because she won. It would be because Jae won is too broken hearted to be with the one he truly cares about.

Also obviously the cinematography was amazing. The way they almost have you believe that Ji hyun died (they had me clutching my pearls till the therapy conversation) and the colours being all somber. And then when he gets out of the hospital everything is bright and colourful. Also I don’t know how they do it but everytime Jae won appears on the screen all the colours seem to suddenly die out and his expression is just so dead inside it always gives me a little of the chills. Im sure there are people who can go more into detail with this but I do not have the amount of braincells needed to figure all of that out.

#eighth sense #the eighth sense the series #the eighth sense #also not to jinx it but I feel a happy ending coming #like they set everything perfectly up to get the last final conflict resolutions solved in ep 9 and 10 #like I feel it in my bones people #and if you think otherwise shut up don’t crush my fucking hopes #i will be blissfully ignorant till next Wednesday #WHEN I CANT WATCH IT CUS IM IN PARIS FOR SCHOOL

I haven’t been insane about Vi enough lately so time to pour out some random thoughts. free association thinking time:

been thinking about her “It's my savings. I wanna be rich, okay? So I can travel, eat well, buy cool stuff… So no one can say I can't do something!” And none of the following will really be insightful or revelatory because it’s just what she says here but. yeah! that’s vi! the main reason she’s so big on money is because she has to be to get what she wants out of life! it’s what lets her say no to people telling her what to do, and that’s important to her because she has no choice but to be independent and support herself. because no one else will. No one at the Hive had anything positive or supportive to say about her being an explorer until she went out and did it (to a ridiculously successful degree, too. I have to wonder if/how it might’ve differed if she was on a regular accomplishment level team. not the one leading them all to the mission to the Hive). she never had a choice not to be. I could also see that being a little part of why she starts out not really being a teamwork person. past experiences have taught her she can’t rely on anyone else for support. (does make me wonder about what if she’d met Chubee before leaving the Hive. obviously she still would’ve left, but how might even a bit of support have changed other things?)

I feel like we don’t talk about the fact that The Beemerang Is Also Knives enough

ok so at one point there was this post talking about people with money and how it affects their life like. if you can afford to get a nanny then you can only do the fun parts of childcare and when you stop feeling like taking care of the kid you can just hand them to someone else to take them away. and again likely not especially revelatory but I would guess that’s the kind of way queen bianca handled the bees as her daughters (she does care about them. absolutely. but not in the same hands-on attached way as we usually associate with parents) and thinking about how that kind of treatment would then apply to vi....hm

in universes where discussions of Gender and Pronouns etc happen I think she has moments where she gets frustrated with the everything of Being Referred To and Having Complicated Identity She Hasn’t Quite Figured Yet and is like. gender is cancelled how dare you refer to me. but especially anyone else calls me a girl ever i will be stabbing them

also I think a lot about what circumstances she finds out about gayness/Gender being things. and whether she’s thought about it in herself before and whether she’d been dismissed on it/told it wasn’t a thing etc. most circumstances she ends up angry about the finding out times because of (un)consicious internal conflict stuff

underground tavern stuff implies she was definitely doing quests and stuff for money with them precanon. would kill to know what specifically it was. but also the first talk with utter implies that she was doing stuff off that questboard as well which is even more intriguing. utter’s spy also implies you don’t have to be an explorer to do them but otherwise you would think you did I feel. so again very curious what was up there

#inspired by that girl blorbos post and also me trying to think about where in the game they drop facts and such about precanon stuff w her #the urge to try and fic about the stuff between her leaving the hive and showing up at the association....strong again #'the hive didn't do anything' my ass. vi might have also been a jerk but it's just that she was the more obvious #easily labeled incident version of it. she was active while her treatment was the subtle passive neglect type of bad treatment #complex situation and also. yeah #an aquila original #vi bug fables #bug fables #also featuring funky gender lesbian stuff because thats not even headcanon. to me #hopefully the reasoning out stuff doesn't just come out like a load of nonsense #vi's one of those characters where I definitely feel comfortable in writing her on a basic level but some parts I'm super insecure about #and the part with her is in really capturing the complexities of her backstory and family issues #and the thing is it's like. I have to remind myself that some parts of how canon did her on that are actually decent #and I should pay attention to those complexities. but then also canon definitely did some of their 'this hasn't really been earned' #resolution stuff on her. mostly thinking about the postcanon dialogue with Bianca. it's jsut too much of a jump for that for me #and it's not even that I necessarily think bianca's dialogue is out of character. it's that I'm contemplating whether it would've #made more sense for vi to get angry about it. like. #ok so. sometimes i think about what coming out to my family might be like. and I've come to the conclusion that if they were just accepting #despite the fact that it would be best case scenario I'd be angry about it. because they've said some shitty stuff in the past. in general #they've made me feel unsafe about myself. so no actually you don't get to just suddenly be chill about it now fuck you. #it doesn't change the past hurts #and I could see Vi being like that too. even if part of her is happy about getting what she wanted to start with she's pissed about #only getting it now. with a side helping of also wondering if the approval /now/ is only because she's been so successful about it #what if she hadn't been so specially favored by elizant? what if she hadn't been on the team that saved the world? why did she (maybe) have #to earn the approval she should've had from the start? #also not gonna get into this one right now but tweaking her story with jaune to acknowledge that theyre both at fault in different ways #(again). would be nice #but now I'm definitely veering into repeating myself type rambling territory so

sams post

ngl- a smuch as I want to see what they will do with eclipse- part of me knows I should not have high hopes.. part of me expects Moon to show up- stress him out more- and kill him... thats it- no deep chat- no more seeying Eclipse in despair- no- a but of tease and then a blast.. -and look- as much sad I feel for Eclipse- HE DUG HIMSELF IN THE GRAVE- not one but many times- yet I feel that his torture here is a bit too much both for a character that had his moment- to close the chapter and move on- and for us- us who love to hate Eclipse- love to see him and analyze him - us who know he is a mess up AI- we know hes broken- yet we know he's far gone to be fixed.. as much as we want it- Eclipse is not going to have a "good ending"- and he is now the channel's lemon to squeeze even when he is dry.. idk- im trying to not get hyped up once more- and be meet with a dissapointed new arc.. so far I like it- yet also feel bored - my most hype comes from reading other's post and making up scenes that will never happend..

#sams #tsams #idk I felt like coming clean and maybe see if anyone feels the same #yall also try to lower the hype so it doesnt hurt when is not what we hoped for? #yall also grew to expect a mid resolution? #is entretaiment! but also feel not like the show once was #they are great still-yet I feel they had more control and better use of their characters before their boom

Q!Characters and RP perspective with slight meta flavoring

But I just love that the islanders immediately got a new mystery and Bad is there to help. He's helping even though he doesn't have too, even though they broke his heart yesterday by putting him in jail without a trial or even a chance to explain his side and no one listened to him! BUT HE'S STILL HELPING, STILL LETTING THEM IN HIS HOUSE! Just uuuuugh, I'm not over yesterday but seeing Bad interacting with everyone because of the mystery and they're all just going along with it, Both parties being wary of one another, poking jabs and just subtle threats, I love it despite how much it hurts. Trust has been broken but they all care too much for one another to not help each other out.

now meta flavoring but I absolutely adore what the CC's and admins are doing, cc!Bad got dogpiled by fans and was about to just back out of the politics and stuff and I feel this is a good way to just... let Bad play. He was in his element yesterday, he had so much fun and I think we all had fun watching him! This lets him kick off a villain arc if he wants or just be on the run and just get back into doing whatever the ehck he wanted! And now there's an island wide mystery going on and Bad's still on the run but at the same time sinking his teeth into this mystery like all of us. It's been a lot of fun watching the last few days I'm so proud and happy for what these guys are cooking up

#qsmp #i havea lot of thoughts abt yesterday #rp perspective everyone locking Badboyhalo up owes him an apology #meta perspective I am so happy they're having fun and they've had a lot of fun it feels like together as a group yesterday #Each CC deserves like a cookie and just something nice to happen to them #so many interesting perspectives and storylines coming from this I fucking love it I would not change a thing #I'm there for the angst but also the potential resolution

Eve: Bottling up negative emotions is bad for your health, so you shouldn't do it.

Seto: I know, that's why I bottle up all my emotions, both positive and negative, so it cancels out.

Eve: Th-that's not how that works-

Actually, the two are pretty open with each other.

#small hastag ramble #but i low-key feel kaiba is like. super mischaracterized when it comes to how he handles emotions #Id absolutely argue that Kaiba is one of the most emotional characters In the entire manga. More than Yugi is even #its just that a majority of the time his emotions are based in anger and hatred. so people see him as bottling up his feelings #when he's honestly the exact opposite. hes VERY open about how he feels and why he feels certain ways #For example Kaiba bluntly telling the gang that he's going to blow up Alcatraz because he hates his stepfather so much #or when Kaiba was very visibly disgusted by the shadow game on the piers with Yugi v Joey #or the numerous amounts of times Kaiba verbally told Atem how much he wants to defeat him. to the point of trembling with desire #Like Kaiba is incredibly open about his emotions. Except that a majority of the time his emotions are based in anger without a resolution #I just think its misinterpreted as him concealing his emotions because he doesn't show a lot of positive ones. but no. he's just that angry #especially since a majority of his actions in the manga are based on his own feelings #anyway sorry for the rant lmao the conversation just drives me nuts #I think he'd absolutely be really open to Eve about how he feels and his frustrations #Kinda using Eve as a sort of rubber duck to vent to a lot #It's also one of the reasons Eve loves Kaiba so much. because he's so brazen about his thoughts and feelings #ssv #oc #yugioh au #giant/tiny #yugiohoc #bondshipping #rant #tag rant #oc x canon #answered asks #ask

angry at the oscars barbie nominations but in an annoyinger way (i think nominating ryan reynolds makes sense but the best picture and best supporting actress noms are ridiculous)

#sorry but the more i think about it the more i really dislike the movie #ken was funny! he was silly and campy! i really did not care for the rest of the movie! #i just think the more you examine its take on feminism the more it falls apart! #it's inherently about a product! it's inherently personifying a product and making you feel sympathy for and relate to a product! #they are generating hype and engendering sympathy for something they are trying to sell you! #regurgitating second wave feminism without nuance doesn't make it groundbreaking it makes it like. fine i guess? #verilybitchie has a great video that put a lot of my feelings about it into words #idk it did not resonate with me at all and also made me kind of annoyed with how it contributed to the ongoing trend #of gendering things that aren't gendered and focusing on a segregation of gendered perspectives #tired of i'm just a girl! tired of girl dinner! tired of men are always thinking about the roman empire! #sure there are experiences more common to and relevant to women but i get so uncomfy with those kinds of generalizations #even when they're just jokes because after they get repeated enough they stop sounding like ones #just like. when you try to examine it in terms of any kind of intersectionality it falls apart #and i know it's not that serious but like come on. they literally do not once touch on any kind of intersectionality. #you can't be like 'it's a groundbreaking feminist movie!' because they said 'women struggle with misogyny' in 2023 #like i know it's barbie but i don't understand why there's this impulse to say that that's something that's never been said before #just because the president is black doesn't mean you've acknowledged like. racism at all. #just because you have two fat barbies with like four lines doesn't mean you've said anything meaningful about body image #and when you take an openly lesbian actress and give her short hair and make her strange and then have all the other characters #essentially socially exile her and still think she's weird after the resolution!!! #i would say that's like!! implicitly a pretty weird way to write gay people! #i don't want to rain on anyone's parade! it's silly! it's not that serious! i just also think it's not that good! #it's fine! it's fun! but i DO think ken is the best part of the barbie movie and for that i apologize

I feel like tags like these were inevitable on the post about people traumatising themselves for the greater good or w/e... There is SO much emphasis on posting on tumblr and other social media being so important and so useful and we must never stop. But I would like to counterargue with the idea that posting on social media (especially tumblr) constantly does very little/nothing. If that was true then the point here becomes meaningless.

#i guess i must be broken according to this person because i don't seem to feel emotions the way they feel helps palestine #activists in palestine are also calling for a general strike where no one goes to work and that has yet to materialise in a meaningful way #because people keep watering it down by saying 'oh it's ok just post constantly/about nothing else than palestine on social media' #yeah awesome great- look i'm sure there are people in palestine saying get the word out about our suffering etc #but they are also calling for more meaningful symbolic gestures like strikes which as far as I know no western country has delivered #because that would take a lot of organising and much less guilt tripping and people spending all their time posting #and comfort always comes up- comfort and discomfort- what even is comfort? #is feeling ok in your own mind an insult to palestine? #are there people losing everything in wars feeling better because someone in the west feels really really bad about their pain? #like sorry to be facetious but what on earth does any of this rhetoric accomplish #i spent years thinking like this and it made me so sick and now i'm better i am DONE with it- i cannot go back to this thinking #i can only live if i bend away from this kind of thinking like a plant to light- and i want to help others but people just won't stop #please- post on social media if you like. it doesn't help anyone to view the depths of their pain and feel bad #it is better to look towards hope a ceasefire and a resolution and end to the killing of palestinians for good #that can happen!!! #i think avoiding misinformation and dehumanising rhetoric about either side is also very important #i fully believe you can only understand geopolitics and war if you see everyone as human

#HELPP ok i have thoughts.my thinking cap back on #LOVEE the ending as far as the actual direction goes yk.like people seeing (literally) the pain&plight of plants #and vowing to protect and look after them w utmost care #loved that knives technically survived the fall and the aftermath esp in recruiting someone to care for vash #BUTTT i dont know how i feel ab his death ;___; the symbolism w the apple tree and him using the last of his energy is sweet #and i dont think i would dislike it necessarily if we just had more time #to marinate in his story.i think... the ending does not give u a lot of time to reach the full conclusion #i think that theres a whole side to his story i WISHH nightow explored and i wish we had seen knives turmoil and vashs acceptance of his #experiences more than the select few scenes we got beforehand. its soo rushed T_T DONT GET ME WRONG im still more or less satisfied that #we didnt get an ending like.. oh everyones dead and miserable and vash killed knives and ppl never learn to coexist right #like it could actually be so thematically worse BUTT im just like. THATS ITTT??? THATS ALL..sitting here twiddling my thumbs #waiting for a complete resolution thatll never come to be.and it sucks bc i wish i could look towards stampede to get that neat wrap up #but stampede completely altered knives' story and fell into the nasty horrid pittrap of aligning him with reprehensible values #so no conclusion of theres will ever touch on max!knives' conclusion and i think that is the thing im looking 4 the most #no conclusion of theirs* sry LAWL #also read some posts (by trigum LUVV ur analyses btw i need to rb some now that i finished) that the max ending #doesnt give vash an ACTUAL ending. we reach the climax in his confrontation with legato and then his commitment to save knives #but anything beyond that just doesnt exist. MY GODD imagining a reality where we got like 5 more chapters at LEAST to #give it a hearty ending #anyways. the reporter bit is so cute im bummed they went straight to that in stamp :sob: best like... cute ending fr #trigun spoilers #trigun maximum #trigun #vash

something I didn't anticipate with the Big Drawing™ is how much we're starting to struggle to figure out what to actually include in it.

we've spent something like 22 hours on it so far (there's 4 hours we missed and need to catch up with) and we're less than a quarter of the way through the year and I think one of the biggest challenges is going to be just coming up with things to keep adding to it

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #big drawing 2024 #new year's resolutions 2024 #posts made on pain meds #it's a fun drawing and I am enjoying working on it and I like how it looks #but I am also realising we're struggling to come up with stuff to add to it #while having ideas for other drawings that we end up not working on because we're like ''I need to work on the Big Drawing first though'' #and then we end up not having the energy to draw other stuff on top of that because our energy levels have been fucked lately #so I have complicated feelings because I really want to stick with this and see how it turns out #but I also don't want to end up getting burnt out or getting to a point where I'm like ''oh god I need to work on this don't I?'' #and I don't want to end up not making any of the other stuff we want to make #I guess we'll see what we end up doing but I am impressed with how well we've kept up with it so far #and I do think it's coming along really well

I love Zhongli Qian he spends three months imprisoned in the absolute circus that is Xuanyuan Sect and his takeaway is "Wow. It must be nice to live unfettered like this"

#please feel free to ignore this #I'm reading Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know #I don't blame him but also *gets the spray bottle* you're too smart for them king #I like the joint resolution he and Baili Qingmiao come up with #I know the plot is whatever Wenren E and Yin Hanjiang are doing #but Baili Qingmiao's subplot really is fascinating like why IS it so hard for to break free from He Wenzhao's influence #Even when she got started down the Path of Indifference her progress got completely reset #like that can't be normal even considering her primordial goddess roots
