#in rush we trust

[seawitchkaraoke]

"they should do D20 live again, the spread out filming schedule will make them less stressed" yeah? You think doing it live and then going home for a week and reading online all the things ppl think you're doing wrong with your character and the story wouldn't cause any stress? Okay then.

Like imagine if the finale had been live. Half the fans would pat themselves on the back that "they" convinced the ih to resurrect the ratgrinders and the other half would be mad at them for "caving" to audience pressure. And others would still be mad just like they are now that they didn't bring Kipperlily back too. No. Let's not do a live season actually.

#dimension 20 #i want them to tell the stories they want to tell #and after this season? yeah y'all can't be trusted with a live season #i still remember how clearly affected Emily was in those crown of candy adventuring parties by how ppl talked about Saccharina #we don't need a live season for them to have a slightly more relaxed shooting schedule #they can just do that #especially now they're not rushing to get things done before a strike #fhjy spoilers

harley quinn (2000) #13

[ID: Harley Quinn staring pleadingly at Pamela Isley after asking her to run away from Gotham with her. Pam bluntly replies, “No. Can't.” Harley continues to look at her longingly as she slowly admits, “I thought we were friends, Ivy. I like you... Admire you, even. Always wanted to be strong and independent like you. But I guess you're so strong and independent... you don't need friends.” She leaves as Pam still doesn't turn around to face her, her face hidden in shadow. END ID]

#and the fact that harley rushed back quickly after since she was attacked and how happy pam was that she came back.... #i love toxic lesbians we need more toxic lesbians in media and they need to be worse #but also pam and her fear of attachment and intimacy after being traumatized and harmed the last time she trusted #vs harley and her attachment issues and fear of abandonment. pam said later in this one or another issue how she admires that about harley— #she doesn't give up or abandon things even if she should. even if it's killing her she'll hold on to it. #they can be sooo interesting.... #c: harley quinn (2000) | i: 13 #crypt's panels #harley quinn #pamela isley #harlivy

Your essay on Joong's underrated acting skills deepened my Joong appreciation so much, that I watched Mafia the Series, I'm watching Ploy's Yearbook (even though there is a serious lack of Joong so far), and I'm planning on watching The Warp Effect too. I haven't watched het shows in over ten years, so this is a big deal! 😂 I really liked him with Dunk in their shows, but MTS gave me another facet of him, because he's so timid in it, unlike in SIMM and HA, where he's (seemingly) very cool and in control. So thank you for making me a full time Joong (and Dunk) girl 💜

i saw this message first thing in the morning when i woke up yesterday and it instantly put me in a good mood!!! <3

YESSSSSS I'M SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT

mafia the series might actually be my absolute fave thai het-show, it's just SO funny!!!! and the entire cast is so great, like, not just joong but the entire cast plays off each other SO well. and don't even get me started on gina virahya and her portrayal of anna kondra!!!!

you know, when i went into mafia the series i saw the poster and was like "ughh i really am gonna have to sit through this standard (overly) dramatic mafia show just for joong, huh. the things i do for my boy..." and then. AND THEN. you can imagine my surprise. i was crying tears of laughter throughout the show and i was actually laughing so hard that my mom made a comment about how she could hear my laugh in my room

beam is my loser boy and joong portrays him in such an adorably awkward way, i love it <333

and yes there IS a serious lack of joong in ploy's yearbook so far :((((

it was quite funny tho bc in the one scene where joong does show up i immediately recognized him by the back of his head, like!! i saw this:

and instantly went "OH there's my boy!!!!!" 😂😂😂

and i can't wait to see him with film bc film did extremely well with gun in not me and i feel like film and joong will also work together really well

you know, i'm always happy to turn people into full time joong (and dunk) girls!!!!!!

i've adored them ever since simm which i watched live from ep2 onwards. fun fact, actually: when i started simm i actually had no idea who they were (even though technically i'd seen dunk in bad buddy already, except i wasn't paying attention to the random high school bandmates and so i didn't actually recognize dunk and only realized later on ahahah)

aaaanyway, i had no idea who they were, right? and so in 2022 my mom and i spent two nights in prague during easter and in the evening we were in our hotel room and we were kinda looking for something to watch. and i was like "hey look, gmmtv has a new bl out and it looks kinda cute and fluffy judging by the thumbnails?? and like something that doesn't require too much brain power?? plus, there's also only two eps out so far, so we'll be caught up right away" and so we watched the first two episodes and then the two of us ended up watching every new ep together every week hahaha

i actually didn't really talk about it on tumblr back then and when you go back on my blog you'll see that there are hardly any simm post. but really, with every new simm episode that aired i liked joongdunk more and more. and especially once the characters started dating i was actually so in awe about just how comfortable joong and dunk were with each other and how they absolutely weren't afraid to touch? like, their physical affection was just so casual, like it was the most natural thing in the world to them in an "i'm-not-even-thinking-about-it-bc-it's-so-normal" kind of way and that was just soooo refreshing to watch?? i was (and still am) truly amazed

and when just a couple of months later, at the end of 2022 gmmtv announced joongdunk were gonna get another show together i got SO excited!! and also when it was revealed that simm was included in our skyy 2!!!!

and then hidden agenda started airing and then i was tagged in that tag game and then i went to watch joong's entire filmography and then i ended up falling into a joongdunk rabbit hole and here we are...

anyway, i have multiple agendas and one of them is turning people into joong fans and dunk fans and joongdunk fans sllksdfd

and my other agenda is getting people to watch mafia the series, bc it's truly a gem of a show!!!!

(speaking of agendas: the only thing that's missing in your message is you telling me that you approve of my fight for a sexy joongdunk vampire bl, like... that would have made the message and the influence of my joong/dunk/joongdunk blogging complete 😂😂😂)

#you know when i saw your message first thing in the morning my immediate thought was #''ok nothing that happens today can top this like. my day is ALREADY made and i only just woke up'' #your message set the bar very very high for me tbh #but then in the afternoon my crush unexpectedly called me after we barely talked the past 3 or so months and we spent 1.5h on the phone #and well i'm really sorry but THAT was the actual no.1 highlight of my day yesterday dfjkkjdfkfdg #i swear your message is a close second tho!!! 😂😂 #asks #anon #joong archen #adrm #no but every time someone tells me i turned them into a joong fan/dunk fan/joongdunk fan i get such a rush of satisfaction lmao #i'm desperately waiting for summer night #i might just go off about dunk's acting after that #we'll see #bc i REALLY wanna see what dunk can do without joong and if he'll be as good #my money is on ''yes'' but i also don't wanna say anything to avoid eating my own words kdfkdf #but in reality i see many qualities to him as an actor that i think he should be able to do keep even without being opposite joong #besides he's now done two series as a lead character so now he has a lot more acting experience than he did going into simm #his acting was already so much stronger in hidden agenda then it was in simm (hello?? yank-kiss-yeet?? ep9?? ep11??) #and i trust that he's not just gonna lose it all in summer night all of a sudden #god i'm immensely excited to see him act in summer night you don't even know

excuse me I'm annoyed and I'm gonna rant for a second :)

...

#if you're one of the people who won't stop talking about how people are jumping ship for buck and tommy #and how we're never gonna get buddie endgame #letting Buck explore this new and probably very scary part of his life is not a bad thing! #letting him explore and learn with tommy or literally any other guy is not a bad thing! #they didn't make buck bi just so theh could slap us with buddie in the next episode! #and all of this negativity is just exhausting #you don't have to like Tommy. and I know there are people who are not fans of his for so many different reasons and that's fine! #but getting worked up because people are happy about Buck get to have these firsts with someone who isn't Eddie just isn't it! #Buck's not bi just for Buddie. Buck's bi because he's bi! and you have to learn to deal with that! #and I trust Oliver and I trust Tim to give us this story with the respect and time it deserves to have to play out #because y'all would absolutely throw a fit if they rushed into Buddie right #now #we've waited this long and we have a wonderful depiction of a man in his 30s who is going to get the chance to settle into his sexuality #like he deserves too! #and then when it's time we're gonna get queer Eddie and it's going to be equally as important and Buck's story #y'all just have to chill because I don't know how some people enjoy this show the way they immediately jump to the negativity of it all #christina talks about 911 #911 spoilers #also scary is not the word I wanted for that 3rd tag #more unknown rather than scary

i've talked about this before, but the introduction of the hound and what it stands for re: silver eyes after we learned more about them during the conversation ruby and maria had in argus is so, so good.

the light is fueled by the desire to preserve life. that is how ruby manages to use her powers; she wants to protect her friends.

but it only works against grimm, the darkness incarnate, the opposite of light. and that's where the hound comes in: what do you do when the darkness incarnate has light within it? are you going to use the light to destroy the very life it is meant to preserve? is there even preserving that life anymore, or is it already dead, only kept alive by the darkness? and wouldn't that be twisted, when it is the darkness that is preserving that life, in a very bastardized way?

it is quite a dilemma to have, more so when you add cinder—who was mentioned by ruby in her conversation with maria—into the mix. ruby already almost killed cinder once, on top of the beacon tower, with her light, which led to—incidentally—cinder becoming even more grimm—certainly more visibly so.

maria says that the only way ruby can get practice in is by "trial by fire", which is mostly about using her powers to protect people against the grimm, but i think there's a double meaning afoot that has to do with the purpose behind the light:

if there's any chance of helping those who have met the same fate as the hound and it's something ruby's willing to do (and why wouldn't she?), then the first step towards that goal is cinder—and because the light is meant to preserve life against the darkness, it does not lead to cinder's death like it almost did the first time around.

like. c'mon. this is a storyline that has been set-up since the very last episode of V3 and it's steadily coming along and watching it happen in real time is somehow mind-boggling to me. like they're really going for it. this is happening, where else would it lead with all this build-up, with the pieces they've got so far?

yes yes this is me basically being amazed at basic storytelling but after getting burnt by one too many shock twists, it should be allowed.

#rwby #ruby rose #cinder fall #''what... is that?'' #''that was... a person.'' #IT SURE WAS #just watching them take their time with it without rushing it or constantly peppering hints in is. nice? #like it's so obvious when you know what to look for but if not it can easily pass you by #and they're just trusting their process giving just enough to further the storyline forward without pointing neon signs at it #it's there and you will see it all once it happens if you didn't before #there's just enough doubt surrounding it because of everything else going on like. ruby HELPING cinder? in this economy??? #and the answer is YES but not quite yet #we'll get there when we get there so just sit tight #okay that's me gushing about rwby's storytelling for the night

Insane to me when ppl criticize a mystery series having mysteries left “unfinished” at the end. Girl, it’s not “unfinished” it’s setting shit up for later, and, as someone joining in on a mystery series, you signed up for that being a possibility.

#aa opinions that annoy me #aa4 and dgs1 are not ‘unfinished’ they were meant to focus on a certain arc and set up things for a separate arc #aa4 just got shafted because capcom demanded an aa5 while Shu Takumi was too busy to write it but that’s not aa4s fault #and if you still feel that way about dgs1 knowing that it gets tied up it dgs2 youre insane #I can understand finding it worrying because of things that happen like the aa4 to aa5 transition #because gaming companies have ruined your trust #but to call it bad writing when you are playing a game you are well aware is part of a series #just sounds really short sighted #because the only alternative is to either simplify the story till it has lost so much that it isn’t the same anymore #or to haphazardly rush everything in one game #which would again take away a lot of other things and it would feel cheap #——— #DGS 1 & 2 spoilers coming up #Like say whatever you want about the pacing of dgs1 #(I loved it personally personally) #but so much of dgs2 would NOT have fucking hit the way it did without the character explorations in 1 and the time given to stew #If you think Kazuma dying in like episode 1 before we can get to know him at all #and then rushing Ryunosuke’s grief (which now surrounds a guy we arent nearly as endeared to) identity crisis and character development #through 1-2 1-3 and 1-4 so that you can get to a case 5 where ‘WHOAH that guy we dont know is back’ #and then rush through the ruinion and brewing tension and explainations that were in 2-4 and 2-5 now into one case #…is somehow better than properly exploring Ryuu’s growth and the people & relationships he makes along the way #while ​letting Kazuma haunt the narrative for a good chunk of the games before suddenly being there again but not how we remember #than…idk what to say

[kicktwine]

putting me, alisaie, and lyse on a team is exactly like putting zane nya and lloyd on a team

#kipspeak #play game #tweets that maybe two people will get. this trio sounds like it would be very competent but the only thing saving us is the fact #that alisaie has SOME diplomacy training and can do long term strategy even if she’s not fond of it #we are all (act before think). we are all (running around bull rushing into overconfident wagers and such) #were gosetsu still here he would NOT help he would in fact make it worse— #Side note of course I trust you alisaie. but it is very funny to say ask me later

[emeraldcreeper]

I liked trust the process of where the story is going before they martyred my guy point fucking blank man. Like I will still trust the narrative, I guess. I fucking suppose, but I won’t be happy about it if he’s not at minimum a ghost or something like the other deaths (minus Ivan but that was his actor not getting brought back for s2 for I don’t know if we even know why) have been like one off characters who were jokes or racist imperialist assholes, and Izzy’s not one of those, like he’s not the mentor he’s not been the mentor for decades, he’s the ex, at fucking best he’s the unrequited lover. He had the nice arc too if he didn’t have that I’d go okay yeah I get it he’s mildly gay coded and miserable he can have a pointless death or whatever and get old fucking yeller-ed. But this is a romantic fucking comedy, no one dies except when it’s a joke and I don’t think anyone thought that was a good one.

I am currently back burnering two wips to run a jokey he’s fine fic, so watch for that one I’m healing my own soul with it it’s hilarious, I am also gonna work on the wip I was sitting on till the season ended and rework my mildly connected sequel. Fucks sake, happened fucking twice now first I go aw man he got rid of his leathers, now it’s yay the leathers are intact I can use them for kink purposes he’s not chucked them again, but they did chuck Izzy and I was gonna (am gonna. He’s probably fine. Probably. He’s got buttons to save his ass. Probably.) steddy hands the s3 speculation of horny and emotional awareness

#our flag means death #ofmd spoilers #our flag means death spoilers #fuckin #I just don’t trust he’s gone gone yknow #he’s old yeller-ed out fucking back #framed as the mentor figure furthering Ed’s plot #he didn’t deserve the arc where he got fucking better if they were gonna throw him away #his historical ending is dying a beggar not a pirate he dips when bb dies #it feels rushed and like they didn’t intend to murder Izzy like that #yknow? #I dunno I just don’t understand why he had to die like that presuming he died #like he was the figurehead the fucking guy they wanted to help him to do right by him #not the mentor who has to die to further the plot #if that was his place. kill him in s1. that’s when we were actually getting rid of him #don’t kill him in the finale for shock value and to have a stake happen #I’ve got it out of my system #I think

[sleepingfancies]

the thing is i genuinely think we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t so obvious that Netflix loves to cancel shit after 2 seasons

#shadow and bone #as in all of the rushed weird speedrun writing? i don't think that would exist-- #--if not for everyone being hyper-aware that no matter how well they did in s1-- #--there was basically a 50/50 chance they'd get cancelled #i feel like a lot of the writing decisions were 'we want to tell the whole story before we get shut down' #so everything ended up fast-forwarded three times over #bc they WANTED to tell these stories genuinely but knew they may not have a third season to spare #so it was a trade off . either take their time banking on a 3rd season and get cancelled on a cliffhanger/incomplete arc #OR cram absolutely everything into season 2 and hope for the best but expect the worst #which is just a fucking horrible work environment and it is literally only because netflix can't be trusted #and it doesn't matter how good or bad the show does it's entirely up to the 'do we want to actually pay these people' execs #and the answer is often No #anyways. there are a lot of problems and pitfalls but it was also fun idk #it's just a shame i feel like they got penned in by the post season 2 cancellation stamp netflix always whips out #shadow and bone spoilers

#twitter repost #i guess its probably not THAT controversial i think i just really wanted to get that off my chest #xxxholic #i guess #no but like even tho mostly the quality was incredible the fact they basically were like HAHA ASSPULL and then dipped soon after is so.. #i think im even a couple chapters behind and im not even rushing to catch up on them cause it burned me so bad #also cause its clamp im like. they can and will get worse sometimes with their weird shit and i cant trust that they wont #in fact holic is a funny one cause altho im less familiar with other series i know full well holic is one of their least Messy™ ones #iykwim #obviously thats not an inherent metric but like holic is usually nonsense free but i will never stop giving clamp bombastic side eye after #parts of the og ending and MOSTLY the fakeout alt universe mystery arc turning into an irrelevant fetch quest like #how do u produce media so perfect and then do that #and its also so long past tsubaholis main writing period so its like who cares??? why now??? #especially cause it was like boom hiatus #anyway thats the main reason u never catch me rereading rei much at all #like i dont have an encyclopaedic knowledge of it solely cause the twist outcome pissed me off and made me so fckin nervous for the future #also im just worried now the movies done theyll be like oh we wrote 2 chapters ajd back to hiatus good riddance!! like #I've seen the digital fear struck into the eyes of x fans i wouldnt put it past them #anyway im still excited but god damn am i nervous and fucking suspicious as hell #sigh #why cant we live in a no fakeout more interesting arc ender world where also they decided to not pull a teacher student age gap 'ship' #ship in quotes cause they obviously dont fcking love each other #but clamp is SOOOOO addicted to that trope they wanted to mess with it a little like a cat with yarn even if its non romantic #like they were like we r a thirsty flower if we dont do something problematic even as a plot contrivance with no romance we will dieeeeeeee #one day i when holic is public domain (yeah im gonna live until like 500 im so cool like that) i will release hit doumeki movie #not trying to be a hater btw they do great work but damn if those ladies dont make me nervous as hell for where this whole thing could go #or if they even wanna finish it

[scoliosisgoblin]

But fr all the VN games specifically yandere male love interest likely not gonna finish but understandable because it’s a small project and coding is not easy as it looks. What do you think?

eh, I get having a project and losing motivation to finish it. there's so many instances of that, and I got a shit ton of projects I never finished because of the lack of motivation or art/writer's block

there's really no problem with not finishing a game or taking years to do so. it's not an easy task in any way

BUT I do think you should be able to be annoyed at how long a game is taking to come out, you can be impatient, it's fine! I hate waiting a year for another season of Rick and Morty (and the next season's only coming out next year due to grinding too hard or something), and though I do complain about the wait, I can recognize that it's not an easy thing to do — ESPECIALLY when it's an indie show

indie games will take a long time to make, and that is perfectly fine. I'm impatient but am fine waiting years for a good game. I'm pretty sure the main reason why people are verbally impatient with the development of Your Boyfriend, is because the creators have no idea who Yb is and continuously change his character's lore for some reason. not only that but they're just TERRIBLE people

#but idk I haven't really thought too much on the topic #just speaking out my ass #yapping even #I do think though that we should be more patient when it comes to making games and such though #sdv was made by one person and only recently released an update that was worked on for like three years #and everyone's cool with it BECAUSE of its payoff #with YB. the payoff just doesn't feel like it's there #even if the game isn't out yet #everything is super rushed and the writing is bad at times. the main fucking character's design is weak compared to it's “rivals” #YES I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL. TK'S DESIGN WILL FOREVER BE MY FAVORITE. #I feel like the plot of the game would work better if it took over the span of a few weeks or a month or two #AND TIME SKIPS ARE FINE! #if day 1 and 2 had a week between them (with a small thingy that said like Peter starting coming by the diner more or whatever) it'd be cool #cause no fucking way was Peter like “I gotta be tame for yn to trust me” and the next fucking day he's so ready to fuck #INCONSISTENT IN-FUCKING-CONSISTENT #I just think it's way too rushed. why are we speed running a dating-stalking sim? #asks #your boyfriend game #your boyfriend peter #indie games #yb fandom #yb peter #yb game #yb #peter dunbar #yb tk #Tk... my majesty 🧎🙏

Also I can’t figure out if my life genuinely does suck or I’m just having an existential crisis because my period starts in approximately 48 hours

i love when people casually inspire you. like, they're just going about their day, doing what they love to do, and then somewhere, by chance and unexpectedly, within their words, their actions, their scribbles, their mindless humming, their impromptu dancing, their idle moments of existence, you find a spark for an idea. just the simple act of being around someone else can be so inspiring sometimes.

Final thoughts

Yesterday, once again, gave confirmation that the man who is vocal, happy to profess his love and claim you, snaps you up without appreciating the value of waiting, is loud and proud, eager to talk you up and show you off

Is not necessarily the man you ought to depend on nor trust

And once again, the day taught me that the man who moves mindfully, who is cautious when he speaks, avoids inflating your ego, resists luring you into a false sense of comfortability, and moderates his expression of affection

Is often one who possesses the greatest consideration of your feelings

This time, I got a third-person perspective. Unfortunately, impacting someone I love who is deserving of far better

From the mouth of a man so sure in his conviction when he came to his conclusion about my situation despite knowing little to nothing about it as he proudly proclaimed how they manage their relationship

I'm not one for convincing, and, far from being convinced myself, I let him spout his rhetoric

To bear witness, not two months later, the realities of the vapid and changeable intention of man so quick to talk and act without pause

And immediately following that heinous transgression, be rewarded with the reassurance and satisfaction of a man quite his opposite, slow to move and resistant in falling into connection simply based on affection

I would rather the slow. The sure. The patient. The reason.

I would rather the one consistent in distance who is vocal more often when it comes to maintaining our heads and keeping clear vision. Than the man who possesses a tongue quicker than wisdom and opts into the format of loving and commitment before taking time to sit and just listen to what he truly wants, who he's really with, where the desire is rooted and what it is seeking.

I am done trusting men who talk quick and jump quicker.

Half of them don't even know they don't mean it.

This weekend has brought a lot of realities about relationships to the surface. And has reaffirmed my contentment of the space I'm in, giving confirmation to validity of the pace that has been taken.

Pause. Know yourself. Consider the nuance and depths of your feelings. And stop filling peoples heads with dreams and well wishes and fantasies of the wonderful lives y'all could be living. If you just took the time, you might avoid all this nonsense and notice the difference between fun for the moment and potential of significance.

#mine #relationships #yet another reason why i trust this man to lead #coz if it were left to me i woulda rushed in #not without pause but certainly not pause enough #and we wouldve been committed whilst learning each other intimately #and any point of tension wouldve been that much more significance #and put a strain on something premature to begin with #so when i talk to people like dude who leap to the decision that what im dealing with will amount to nothing #it doesnt trouble me #because if that happens to be the case it will be because it was the best decision #because all of this time gave us the knowledge to know we wouldnt make it the distance #i feel no way about dealing with someone as long as this without a title or making it official #because weve cared for each other just the same #given honour without the requirement for commitment #respected boundaries without having to establish them firmly #if one day we commit to a relationship we'll be going in with the confidence that the longevity is tested #that we know each other completely and share the same vision #and anyway whats the difference #we move the same theres just no enforced restriction #and its blissful #hennyway i beeeeen talking about relationships #people are exhausting #and all this shit applies to any gender coz we all been making the same mistakes. myself included #but im learning and fortunate to have someone clued in
