Rise of the Pink Ladies had one of if not the best coming out scenes I’ve ever watched and they’re just. Taking it away. Throwing it in the garbage. With everything going on surrounding queer people now, that one just hits especially hard. Fuck you Paramount :/

#like. i don’t get it.#i had low expectations it’d get renewed. i hoped obviously but i’ve been burned before #but just fucking getting rid of it?#honestly just fucking despicable #grease rise of the pink ladies #rise of the pink ladies #rotpl

Saw your post about the request!! That style is so pretty.. do you think you can do Subspace and/or medkit? I love both of their designs and I feel like they'd look really cool all sparkly and stuff..

Here ya go :3!

Out of all the reasons why aya wanted to be a warrior of justice we just had to get the one where she admired her dad

No “no one helped me when I was getting abused so I want to help others that are in trouble,” no “I know my dad was wrong and cruel so I want to stop evil,” but “I admire you despite you treating me like crap?”

#if I had faith I’d hope that this would be addressed down the line #and show how abuse can lead to thoughts like these and why it’s bad #but I’m keeping my expectations very low #yes all ppl are not completely black or white but in cases like these I think some harsher consequences are in order??#i don’t think I put that thought into words very well but point is it’s a bit frustrating #bsd #bungou stray dogs #koda aya #misu.txt

Tbh Dirge of Cerberus' actual gameplay isn't as bad as I was expecting it to be, like I'm almost 4 missions in and I still haven't died, but the gameplay getting interrupted every 5 minutes by some kind of micro cutscene is driving me up the wall. Did they really have to stop the action just to show a common model NPC walking out of scene. Was that 100% necessary

#textpost #The villain names are cracking me tf up #Blue the Blue. Red the Red. There's a guy named White so I'm sure he's White the White too #I saw that there's a Transparent the Transparent later lol #This game is really corny but in a like fun Shadow the Hedgehog B movie way so I'm diggin it haha #It's really not that bad. I don't think it deserves the super super low rankings it got #It's like a 6.5 or a 7 out of 10 so far tbh #One of my buddies said that it was one of those games where the hype made people expect too much #So people thought it was worse than it actually is #It's about as good as GG2 Overture and Overture got 7s and even a few 8 out of 10 rankings back at release #Though tbf FF7 basically changed the RPG genre forever and no one in the west knew wtf a Guilty Gear was when Overture dropped #Overture definitely had an advantage there. Dirge of Cerberus was NEVER going to live up to Final Fantasy 7's hype #Doomed right outta the gate. I hope the devs weren't too beat up about it

i don't hate anyone as a matter of principle but if you're coughing on public transit without a mask on you are testing that principle in the strongest possible sense.

#i get that people can't just stay home. i get that quality masks are expensive. i get that we have to be reasonable.#so i am setting the bar SO fucking low alright? i don't care if the mask is cloth. i don't care if it's a fucking bandana.#i just had covid and i'm sextuple vaxxed or whatever now and i'm wearing a kn95. i'll be fine!#but this is frankly a matter of manners just as much as infection control.#stigma is a weapon to be wielded with the utmost care and restraint but jfc we have GOT to stigmatize being publicly sick & unmasked!#'it's allergies' 1. how do YOU know that. 2. how do you expect anyone ELSE to know that.#even if it IS allergies you're still worrying and inconveniencing the people around you by not being masked! AND THAT'S STILL RUDE!#anyways if you're ever indoors unmasked & hacking away and you're wondering if people are judging you? we are.#man i have autism. i don't judge people for ANYTHING in public. piss in the intersection. whatever. but this is my line girlies.#rhi talks #you can reblog this. honestly out of every post ive made this is probably the only one i actually hope people reblog lmfao #like i said. not to be disabled on main but this PARTICULAR very specific action? this one we have a moral responsibility to stigmatize.

this review for the ballad of songbirds and snakes is going to be critical so if you loved this book and don't want to see that critique then you are welcome to skip this post. im willing to have civil conversation and im also very willing to hear other points of views bc i love discussing books (and who knows! maybe someone could change my mind) BUT if you're at all going to be nasty and/or take it personally, then you will likely be blocked.

im gonna be so honest... the ballad of songbirds and snakes was a decent book. but. i don't think it actually added anything to the overall story. it added some perspective, maybe, to how snow became snow but it also felt... pointless? i think if I'm going to get a villain origin story, i want it to make me feel conflicted, or at least somewhat understanding to how the villain turned out that way. i want it to show me the gray area. but this book just... didn't do it for me. none of it was surprising. and also, from the beginning, i didn't overall care that much to know what made him this way, because the end result was still the same, and nothing happened to change that feeling for me. bc the only way snow was interesting was how he was as the villain. there was nothing beyond that to interest me, and i think that's what this book was trying to use as the draw. and moreover, to expand on my opinion that it didn't add to the series: i think it relied solely on easter eggs from the original trilogy to make you think it was adding anything. like "see, look at this reference i made! doesn't it remind you of the original books?" idk. like i said, it's a DECENT book on it's own. the writing is good, the story itself isn't bad--it just also gives you no reason to invest in the main character, and i think to some degree that's something that's supposed to draw you into a book. and like i mentioned, nothing surprised me. i saw all of it coming. i predicted every twist before it happened. which isn't always a bad thing! but i was also mostly underwhelmed when the twists DID happen. i was hesitant to read this book in the first place, hence why im only reading it now after the movie release bc my partner wants to see it, and honestly? im not feeling like i gained anything from the experience. i had fun reading it bc, again, it's written fairly well, but at the end of it, im just feeling.... meh.

(spoilers ahead in this paragraph only) i at first thought the only thing it added was why snow dislikes the mockingjays but the more i consider it, it didn't really even add that much either. he was just creeped out by them??? hmm.... (unless, and this might be reaching, he hated the mockingjays bc they showed him his true feelings about lucy??? there's a line about how he was getting tired of her music and maybe the fact that the mockingjays repeated music instead of voice, like the jabberjays (which he had no problem with) was like... his true feelings coming through? I'll have to sit with that and see what i think)

i will say, the parallels between characters in this book and the original trilogy are interesting and i will enjoy seeing those analyses but, again, i don't really feel like it added anything. i still think snow would have done the exact same things without them. because he never ACTUALLY cared about anyone at all, except for how he could use them. how they made him look.

if anyone is interested in a star rating, i gave it 3/5 bc the reading experience was relatively enjoyable, and the writing itself was good imo, and as a stand alone story it was not bad but also not excellent. it was all "just okay". and im trying to rate this as it's own story, not as part of of the whole. however, it being part of that whole is what makes me feel so let down

#text post #the hunger games #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #also the way i rate things may be different than you so if you read my take and think i rated it too high just keep that in mind #if i had a good time reading it i usually end up giving it 3 stars even if i don't think it's perfect #< unless the book has actually glaring problems in how it presented or handled things #also before someone comes at me saying i set myself up for failure bc of my low expectations going in:#if im going into a book like this and im skeptical i still ALWAYS hope for best and give it every shot to prove me wrong #it just didn't this time

they made Cleo a lesbian which is all I ever wanted but I can't even appreciate it because they handled it so fucking badly because this season's showrunners are allergic to having genuine authentic character moments that matter and I hate being upset but I AM

#seriously I started out with such low hopes then really liked the first couple eps so I rose my expectations and now the #latest episodes have been SO DISAPPOINTING. the last one was the absolute worst so far it was such a joke #i know this blog is for little kids shows but i dont have any friends and this is killing me and i just need to complain #'i hope they reboot your favorite series and make it woke and cringy': evil curse to bestow upon your enemies #like where the fuck did cleo liking frida even come from? literally out of nowhere. she hated frida and they had zero relationship growth #my heart belongs to cleo x joan but i would be open to this ship IF THEY ACTUALLY... HAD CHEMISTRY #it would have been so much better if they pushed the idea that cleo still kinda resented that frida was so popular #and her attraction stemmed from envy and other repressed emotions #also do you think a fucking teen girl from 2002 is going to decide woohoo im a homo without zero angst or guilt???#FUCK THATTTTTT cleo absolutely called other girls dykes as an insult back then and now shes cool? fuck that fuck that fuck that #whatever. I hate living in 2023 #this is about clone high btw #topher was funny though I'll give it that
