#young actress and actors are cornering the guzhuang market #that's why the industry is becoming more and more competitive #when it comes to guzhuang idol dramas/guouju古偶剧 with fantasy elements(like xianxia dramas) #cnetizens are bored with the same old faces #media has found that young actress and actors (20-27 years old) especially new pretty faces are more appealing to viewers #cnetizens can actually be mean to actress and actors (over 33 years old) cast as lead characters in guzhuang idol dramas #reasons is that lead characters are usually portrayed as teenagers or really young people #and the audience find it very weird to have middle-aged people cast such characters #especially scripts are usually adapted based on fictions #so fans of the novels would be furious about such casting #besides cnetizens want to see normal aging faces #but these shows always use excessive filters and PS #causing the midle-aged faces to be fake and weird #i once saw really mean comments on douyin for xianxia dramas casting middle-aged actress getting over one hundred thousand likes #actress and actors in zhengju正剧 guzhuang dramas or luodi落地 guzhuang dramas are not affected by this #like telling a realistic down-to-earth story or story inspired by real history or related to folks #and there is no fantasy or xianxia elements #china #fashion #chinese fashion #guzhuang #cdramas

everybody stay with me im shifting back into speculation & analyzing mode, this time about everybody's favorite pair of besties. ill put this under the cut for everyone's sakes

and please, take all of this with a Hefty grain of salt.

so ive been... thinking about a thing. a maybe-possibility. which if this has some merit, the part of me that loves characters having a good time and feeling good feels is screaming in fear. but the louder part of me that loves angst and hurting characters is rubbing its little fly hands together.

short version: i think Barnaby is going to emotionally distance from Wally, if not outright grow to resent him. maybe temporarily, maybe not.

full version: *cracks knuckles* strap in folks. so.

first of all, an entire chunk of Barnaby's bio is dedicated to his character relation to Wally. everyone else only has one-off lines dedicated to their relationships to other neighbors - even Frank & Julie just have single sentences about each other (note that they're described as "partnered with" and "depicted with" respectively. more on that soon). even Wally's bio has his Barnaby mention tacked onto the end of his first paragraph instead of being its own dedicated section

and then there's their character designs - their bios explicitly point out that they share characteristics; color schemes, hearts on their soles, similar outfits.

they were made to be best friends. literally. this quote is what made me start turning this theory over in my mind (sourced from @ /theneighborhoodwatch's collected & absolutely fascinating livestream trivia)

it appears that Barnaby literally did not have a say in whether or not he and Wally are friends. their bios even say "illustrated pages note that they were best friends multiple times." they have to be best friends.

which brings us back to Frank & Julie. they briefly reference each other in their bios, but they aren't described as best friends. it's incredibly likely that they were meant to be a romantic couple - i briefly covered that theory in this post (dont read the first one i was going insane) but they managed to avoid that. Frank and Julie defied the script and chose to be best friends instead.

and then in the trivia document a few more character relationships are briefly touched on, like how Howdy considers Barnaby a close friend, and Sally considers either Barnaby or Poppy as her closest friend, etc.

everyone else seems to be choosing who they're close with. they're forming their own opinions and dynamics and relationships. & its interesting that Barnaby is stated for both of these - as if implying that he may return the friendship feelings, or at the very least he's developed enough of a relationship with them to earn their affection

Barnaby and Wally... i doubt they ever got that. they were best friends from the start, no development, no choice. it's written into them.

and then there's how their relationship has been portrayed so far. i believe i saw an ask where Clown stated that Barnaby is very polite to Wally, which struck me as odd. have you ever had a polite relationship to your best friend? have you ever seen best friends be polite? i'd be surprised!

best friends mess with each other! they tease and rib and roast! what is a best friend for if not mutual tomfuckery?! jesting around? playfully pushing boundaries? a Polite best friendship... that's a straight up oxymoron. no such thing. that sounds boring and exhausting.

not only that, but the fact that Barnaby is often used for Wally's painting segments, and is the go-to guy for teaching Wally something new, is kind of concerning. it gives me the vibe that a big part of Barnaby's literal reason for existing is to be Wally's friend & guide.

which would make the fact of him being described as polite to Wally make sense. of course he's not going to push their relationship or try to deepen it - he's forming his own dynamics with the other neighbors. with Wally... it's already established. that is how they are with each other. that is what they are to each other.

and it's not like Wally can be the one to introduce nuances. i don't mean that as a slight or anything - he's just the way he's been described and the things stated about him that make me think that he wouldn't really... know how to? it just wouldn't occur to him. he probably thinks his and Barnaby's relationship is what a best friendship is and is how it should be.

but they have to hang out. they have to refer to each other as best friends. and while i believe that Wally does wholeheartedly think that they're best friends, close as can be... i doubt Barnaby feels the same. like - yes, he probably does care about Wally. everybody likes Wally.

but it's gotta be frustrating for Barnaby, especially as time goes on and he becomes more himself as a person over just being a character playing a part. it probably stunts his relationship growth with others, since his ~best friend spot~ is already taken and who would want to encroach on that? especially since its taken by Wally mcfuckin Darling?

their friendship might become less of a role and more of a responsibility. Barnaby might grow to feel obligated to stick with Wally as his "best friend". someone invites Barnaby to hang out and/or help with something? sorry, he has to pose for Wally's painting. Barnaby is trying to do his own thing? sorry, Wally is knocking on the door and asking for help with something.

i wonder if Barnaby ever hopes that Wally will go to someone else, or feels relief when he does. and then does he feel irritation/guilt over that denied hope or that granted relief? then does he get angry at himself for those emotions?

how would this effect how he treats Wally and acts around him? this confusing muddle of emotions and this strange growing resentment for his painfully earnest friend who only ever means well, if he means at all.

it makes me curious whether or not this theory has merit. and how this could come to a head. what would Barnaby, in this situation, do if/when he discovers that they're puppets on a set, and he's literally written to be Wally's bestie while everyone else changed their scripts and chose their own relationships.

personally, i don't think he'd be happy, and i doubt he'd handle it well.

#holy Shit this was tough to translate from my brain #i literally wrote it all out in my head while in the shower #and then i went to get it down on 'paper' and it was Tangled To Hell And Back #*taking a break from art* #brain: soooooo we're bored now. lets overthink and share these thinkings #welcome home theory #welcome home speculation #SERIOUSLY THOUGH IM SCARED FOR BARNABY AND WALLY #mainly for wally bc Ouch it would hurt him to have their relationship sour #barnaby getting resentful and wally not understanding why his best friend is acting differently towards him #and PLEASE keep in mind that im mostly talking outta my ass here #but like.... ugh #barnaby looking at wally walking over one day and feeling the urge to turn away or groan in irritation/exasperation #him posing for a painting and wishing he were anywhere else. #him wanting to be closer with other puppets but unable to bring himself to try bc of the Guilt #everywhere he turns hes called 'wallys best friend' and asked 'wheres wally? hes usually with you' when hes alone #and hearing 'if you want to find wally/barnaby go look for barnaby/wally. if you see one the other isnt far away' #that has GOT to get on his nerves over time #this constant stagnation of their relationship while everyone else is evolving and growing. hes Stuck. #even julie & frank who were written to be together find a way to circumvent that and add so much depth and uniqueness to their relationship #if you want a happy side of this. it could lead to barnaby & wally being really truly besties #barnaby could have an arc about thinking 'holy shit it was all fabricated. Fuck that and Fuck you[wally]' #and then going 'holy shit i Do actually love and care about him[wally] and i want us to develop a real meaningful friendship' #BUT WHO KNOWS who knows not me! #also it must be tiring to constantly have to explain his jokes and so many other things #bc wally Is a curious guy! he wants to learn! #but maybe barnaby just wants to have an uninterrupted conversation but he Cant bc wallys just built different #not said as a bad thing At All. #just... people are complicated. sometimes we have mean thoughts/emotions that conflict with what we really think/feel and our morals #we're only human. everyone is mean sometimes if only in our heads.& yeah theyre technically Puppets but lets not get caught up on semantics

Been developing this OC from a while ago, I think he’s turning out pretty well but the problem is having to draw out everything that’s in my head 😂

Hello praying people, I'm not doing well and would really appreciate your prayers right now <3

#long very boring and unnecessarily detailed tag monologue incoming‚ feel free to skip: #this is going to sound like a silly thing to be hitting rock bottom over #but i’m fairly certain i have a semi-rare skin condition known as sensitive skin syndrome #which is basically where skin gets progressively more sensitive #until it won’t tolerate the topical application of anything at all without getting irritated #usually it happens to people on the skin of their face and i have it there but i also specifically have it on my lips #(which apparently is extremely not normal; i found a dermatologist’s case study from like 2019 of one woman who had it on her lips #and according to this case study there were no other cases of people having it on their lips #in all the dermatological literature he had read) #i can’t follow the protocol which all the journal articles i’ve been able to find say is helpful for the rest of the face which is basicall #leave the area the heck alone for at least a year #because if i don’t apply anything to my lips for more than two or three days they will get so dry they crack and bleed #so it’s looking like one way or another i may be having to deal with dry burning irritated lips for the rest of my life #and i’m not dealing with the thought of that very well #i’ve already suffered so much anguish from extreme sensitivity on the rest of my face #and not being able to take proper care of the skin there #and this is just too much for me #i know God is allowing this for a reason but it’s filling me with so much frustration and panic and despair that i don’t know how to go on #but i must and i will #this isn’t a serious or a life-threatening condition but it’s looking like a pretty hopeless one and it’s hurting me badly #and i would appreciate prayers that it would just be healed or that i would know what to do #i think i will try going to my dermatologist but somehow i doubt she's even heard of sensitive skin syndrome #on a COMPLETELY unrelated note i'm just about to get my period and also for two days i've ''eaten'' nothing but vegetable smoothies #and those in pretty small amounts because they're disgusting #(do a detox my hormonal health doctor said) #(it'll be fun she said) #ok if you read this far you're so brave braver than any u.s. marine etc. #thanks for reading ily <3

the most autistic thing i've done in the past year is when i typed out a transcript of the text from the entire main storyline in Pokemon Legends: Arceus into a wordpad document, complete with basic image descriptions, and then i didn't even write the fanfic which was supposedly the reason i started that whole project in the first place

#pokemon legends arceus #pla #pokemon #aphelion.txt #actuallyautistic #actually autistic #67k words. if you were wondering #i didn't replay it myself but rather watched someone's playthrough on youtube and paused each time to copy out the text #i was able to find raw text dumps of the game on the internet but they were all out of order so i decided to make my own transcript #to base the plot of my fanfic off of but then i only ever wrote 1 chapter of the fanfic #probably i should upload the transcript to gamefaqs or something in case any other person in the world might potentially want it #actually this is a time-honored tradition for me #for some reason around the time period of 2nd-4th grade #i would do similar things when i got really bored #like copying out a couple of chapters of my favorite book into one of my notebooks by hand #actually this wasnt even the first time i tried to transcribe a pokemon game #i vividly remember attempting to do the same to pokemon pearl and pokemon ranger when i was like 9 #didn't get very far on those tho #Still not sure why i enjoy(ed) doing this. but. it's soothing ? #might have to redo my resume from scratch btw :/// im not finding it in any of the places where i usually keep documents #the search for it being the reason why. i stumbled on the pla transcript which i managed to forget existed. and made this post

[incrediblysincere]

Having a job where i have to interact with coworkers all day has really made me notice how bad my social skills are

#like i like focus HARD on the work and i find it really hard to talk at the same time #which is interesting because i know my family/friends probably think i talk TOO much but its totally different depending on who im around #like if im with friends or people i feel really confortable with i can infodump for half an hour on shit they dont care about #but with my coworkers who are all adult men mostly 10+ years older than me and im laying i completely forget to talk #so with me its either non stop bullshit or just that fluoride stare #i know some coworkers are ok with it but i have at least one who clearly isnt a fan of long silences and tries to make conversation and #i realise i CANNOT hold a conversation with him so i probably come off as super boring #and even went prompted (asked a question) i usually just say Okey like ness and then go silent again #i dont mind that much but then sometimes i think back and im like wow. He was trying to talk to me and i probably came off as really boring #or shy or a stuck up bitch. which i dont think im any of #anyway im the 😐🧍autistic for real

moving was carefully handcrafted for me specifically btw

#moving #kdrama posting #xoxo <3 #from the kids' storyline to the parents. who i am INCREDIBLY bisexual for btw #also ponyo kiss. so crazy insane #but like plot wise it's so good #a little hard to follow sometimes bc some bits r nonlinear #but the pacingggg #all the characters and each one keeping me in my SEAT #the way there's this big overarching government agent blah blah plot that i usually find boring but it's like? a backdrop almost #like there's these big things happening but the story is oriented towards the ground. the little things. the character's interactions #and personal journeys #that's what it's actually ABOUT

“The Great Gatsby was so boring why did anyone even like it” THE PROSE!!!! YOU HAVE TO SAVOR IT FOR THE PROSE. IT’S THE PROSE

#yeah nothing fucking happens until the end but you should feel like you’re getting punched in the face by word choice like three times a pg #it’s the journey not the destination!!! #sorry I saw someone call TGG boring earlier today and the last post inspired me to say something #that book rearranged my molecules the first time I read it and it’s the number 1 ‘high school English class book’ that I see people complain #about #usually saying that it was boring or confusing #which I simply cannot understand. like number one it’s so SHORT how did you even have TIME to get bored or confused?? #i think that mmmmaybe it might be a case of like #some readers get bored if ‘nothing happens’ while other readers get bored if like #events aren’t presented in a way they find interesting #like a lot of people like Dracula because it’s jam-packed with action!!! #but I find the way Stoker writes to be so DEADLY boring that I fucking hated having to read that book for school #meanwhile The Great Gatsby is a lot of Nick sitting around in different rooms but Fitzy boy is a masterful writer so to me it’s a real #page turner

shadow having days where he’s more kid than adult, and more adult than kid

but also days where he’s more maria than shadow

#on account of having her soul and all #it’s not so much a matter of her soul having its own consciousness and influencing his decisions #so much as it’s just him deliberately tending toward things She liked instead of prioritizing his usual preferences #and by that i primarily mean the easiest way to tell he’s having one of those days is by the food he gets #he doesn’t Dislike any particular food but he does tend to find sweets boring #so if he’s ordering sweet/fruity things then it’s probably One Of Those Days. #shadow who would normally order a hearty breakfast instead getting something like a strawberry/banana crepe for example #but then stealing a cherry tomato off his friend's plate (with permission) and having his usual Fancy Coffee #because even if he’s having One Of Those Days #he still knows it’s more of a compulsion and he’s not actually being influenced in some physical sense with altered preferences/behavior #at the end of the day he himself still prefers those more complex earthy flavors #but treating that maria side of his soul is what feels Right at that moment #sacrificing a tiny amount of his own comfort for the memory of hers #that kind of thing #idk if i’m making sense it’s a weirdly difficult thing to articulate #and i don’t think he’d be able to explain it either #it's just something about him that no one would even necessarily pick up on #unless they knew him INCREDIBLY well #second chance au #shadow the hedgehog #sea talks

Before getting on the right ADHD meds I could not handle visual novels that weren't on the short side and even then it took me a while to get through them. Just did not have the attention span for it.

On the other hand I really enjoyed dating sims and pretty much exclusively played them as far as "romance games" went and one day I found out many people have the opposite things where dating sims have too much going on to hold their short attention spans and they have an easier time with visual novels... that really surprised me at the time.

#a visual novel is like a book but slower #i read comics pretty easily and my book reading attention span wavers #i still actually have difficulty watching tv which is the real reason i am more of a manga fan than an anime fan #i was also surprised to find out how many people have difficulty reading vs watching tv for specifically attention span reasons.... #basically self pacing and “amount of things going on” are my factors and usually if there's a lot of stuff to manage #i have an easier time paying attention #tv is very much not self paced and there's not a lot to do so i get bored super easily #and if i do other things while watching tv i will NOT pay attention!!! lol
