HI IM AN INSANE BAXSTAN AND SWIFTIE AND UR RYT MR PERFECTLY FINE HAS IMMENSE BAXMC POTENTIAL

while i think its not Unlikely for mc to forgive baxter within the span of the dlc, i DO think theyre not given enough options to feel complicated abt it. u pretty much have to decide how to feel from the start, and arent given a lot of room to change ur mind. For example, my mc Anne is a very forgiving person, especially with bax bc she understands his need to be entertaining & liked. HOWEVER she starts the dlc off thinking "ok if hes gonna be distant i can do that" but then when he jokes with xavier shes like "well im CONFUSED now and i need answers" and shes irritated, but also still likes him. after the bowling she hugs him and is still like confused, but again likes him still. by the time shes baking with him, shes both confused and endeared with him but is kinda harsh with him, even when hes apologizing at the wedding.

All this to say; its not UNREALISTIC mc would forgive in that timespan, its just the lack of complexity mc is or is not afforded that makes it feel too fast. additionally, while u do get to be mad, theres no real moderation for it, and no way to be like "this is a start, but it will take time to trust him fully again". so yeah, it feels rushed and personally i think it was rushed to be released due to whatever reasons (either not caring abt baxter or wanting to work on olnf, who knows)

anyway, i would go on about baxters dlc and its shortcomings for hours if given a chance so for now ill just call it here <3 signed, 🌸Anon

YES YES I AGREE

i do think there was a lotta effort n good stuff but into baxter, and i also havent replayed it since they updated some stuff so maybe its a bit better since release

but i do agree i think the emotional range is very limited its either "idc anymore", "im mad", "i look back fondly", "im pretty sad abt it", n all that stuff n its just pretty straight forward in whatever you choose

i think step 4 is a bit short? maybe?

BUT I ALSO THINK ITS PRETTY FLESHED OUT, now i haven't acted professional w baxter, i tried but i just didnt have time to go through w the route. but there are options!!! its just one and done i think so its kinda like, you cant express How conflicted you are

bc realistically id be so sad but i also hold a grudge so id be like "yeah you say you love me n all that n i GET IT but also im scared"

BUT I ALSO THINK ITS BC WE ARE PLAYING IT WITH SEVERAL HOURS??? like MC has 5 years to get through the emotions, but the time between him saying "see you never!!!" and "omg hi, i miss u but u dont need me but i miss u?!?!!?!" is like less than 5 minutes so.....

LITERALLY I WAS PLAYING IT THE FIRST TIME N I WAS LIKE "you bastard, fuck you. i hate you. stfu. YOURE SO CUTE. you ASSHOLE. i am going to KISS YOU. i want to slap you so fucking bad right now"

like pls i was freaking out during my first playthru

i think baxter's dlc was more focused on the "i am hurt" and "i have XYZ reasons for being like this" and it goes through all that and its less "lets work through your complex feelings/this is how you reacted when we met again bc you felt/feel very conflicted and now we will work thru it"

BAXTER DLC IS LITERALLY "I CAN FIX HIM" OMFG

but honestly i like the baxter dlc better than the derek dlc bc i HATED how "i can do everything by myself!!!!" derek was in step 2 and how sibling focused it was, i man i still loved it of course but i wish derek n mc had more 1 on 1 time

and then in step 4 it was like "i missed out on everything, i feel shitty n im sorry!" and mc just.... idk maybe i need to play it again but i was still mad derek ghosted for a whole step n then it was still very family focused, and while i loved that as well

i just wanted more derek by himself, i wanted to pamper him n love him n just yk

idk, all the dlc's are so good but i do think the forgiveness is very quick which makes sense bc they're making ol2 but man, i would love if it was just double the length or half that to just flesh it out some bc i wanted some sweet moments w the boys as well :(((

ANYWAY YES I DO AGREE ITS NOT UNREALISTIC

just unrealistic for ppl like me who take 2-3 years to get over wtf happened and another 2 to actually settle in my decision to forgive 😂😂 but even then, if i had 5 years to get over it i could prbly forgive him after a lot of crying and a bit of screaming LMAO

My issue with Louis lack of role in Lestat's murder is litearlly the show made Lestat more explicitly abusive SO Louis could be the one to slice his throat. The escalation of violence was in part as the creatives have said to justify latter, both of which didn't exist in the book. If you take away Louis's agency in the murder, I think the domestic violence feels much more like a cheap shock value stunt.

to suggest book lestat is less crueler than his show counterpart just cuz his cruelty in earlier arcs was subtler than str8 up assault is a bit.. lestat cannot thrive w/o being the center of attention & will force u to look at him #byanymeans. show wise ep1 dude literally said i got my daddy temper off the jump #hewasboundtobcrazy lovebombs louis welcome to the monster’s web🧛🏾‍♀️. white master black student equals in the dark like danny said. the show begs u to look at the violence in these power dynamics off rip. show louis in the modern interview literally admits to having uneasy/complex feelings [yk. the whole my lover maker murderer bit] on lestat. im not negating the fact that louis literally slit his throat nor am i taking away his ~agency~. what im saying is claudia knew that louis had love for their abusive maker & used that for her/their own ends.. & its also trapping lestat cuz he could delude himself into thinking him& louis back in love again n ~claudia’s getting in the way~. which is why louis issuing the killer blow is a statement in of itself to his own feelings about the abuse he faced, as well as how someone pointed out, claudia & louis ripped the same body parts off the guests in ep7 that was shattered when louis was physically assaulted in ep5. what im saying is 1) to a certain extent the murder plot is also about claudia asserting her idea of revenge at what she feell like lestat (& louis) took away from her. its infant death v. gentleman death, both warring for different things they want out of louis. lover or brother, companion all the same, the third party has to be eliminated. the nuclear family died. u got multiple shots where claudia & lestat r glaring at eachother anytime louis smiles at or pays one of them (& not the other) any mind. & 2) louis in the modern day tries to sell daniel an easy story of triumph over a past love gone sour, where louis seeks liberation w claudia [the image of them holding hands as antoinette burn] from lestat when thats not how the story finished at all.. like obviously claudia isnt even around in the modern day & the vampire armand is for one. louis cant even stomach himself to say the rest of the story, digging his feet into artificial sand and daniel’s badgering his ass og damn near boutta push louis into another break& this triggers armand into dropping his rashid ruse n finishing the story louis couldnt bring himself to tell [s2]. & we, the audience, get a view into another angle of louis memory, where we see louis cry over lestat’s body and go into quite frankly hysterics at claudia suggesting alone burn lestat as they did antoinette, choking claudia out. [baby these characters is throwed the fuck off]

#yn.#yn answers #family from hell #iwtv #sorry for taking away a nubian sistuh’s agency✊🏾wont do it again big dawg #my anons said u cant joke about louis being a pickme yanz we had enough😂😂

One thing about this game that really irks me is how Laura keeps saying how the werewolves “aren’t people” but is never really challenged on it. The game doesn’t want to talk about it either since Laura rudely asks Ryan if he “really wants to talk about ethics now” on the way to the mansion if you’re rude to her and enforces the idea that “we’re not killing Chris Hackett, we’re killing a werewolf.” I know the game’s supposed to be campy 80s horror but I just wish it explored this topic in full

this is actually a very great thing to bring up, ive never really considered it as anything more than a comfort thing. as something to make laura feel better about what she feels she has to do

i can absolutely see where shes coming from and why she says what she says, but you're right, that sort of thinking is definitely flawed. especially in the grand scheme of things. because yeah sure you're killing a werewolf but literally SECONDS later they transform back to human form.... and THEN you'll be forced to face reality. maybe there's no irl "equivalent" to this kind of situation, but going into it deeper wouldn't have hurt anyone. in fact, it would have been quite interesting, now that you mention it!

the idea that theres a chance where the creature nd antagonist of the game is actually someone you know nd love? only for a short amount of time too? meaning its not even permanent??? like. which is more important, yr own safety or that of yr loved ones (despite it being a gamble every time a werewolf enters view)? it's a fantastic concept. and yet they didn't really deliver, as you said

and like.... the one time they COULDVE done more with that topic (albeit w/ different characters) was with emma... when she gets bit in ch 4 and transforms in the van in ch 8? kaitlyn's able to shoot and kill her and yet. the game. doesn't have it so she and dylan find emma's body afterwards? they don't make them have that moment of. oh... i literally just killed my friend. like yes she did essentially kill only a werewolf but there's still someone BEHIND that werewolf, yk? and that someone is someone who she's spent the last 2 months living with and befriending

they do have kaitlyn be like "what if it's nick?" to which dylan responds with "what if it's not." which is a valid view, sure, but even if it were someone they didn't know, that's still a human person????

if Only the game presented and applied that specific dilemma to the characters more... bc even kaitlyn during her fight with caleb... i find it interesting that NO one ever had a moment of. ....i just shot and killed a person. like YEAH the person in question was under a different form and ATTACKING but, there's no way that still isn't in the back of their minds eating away at them yk?

the same thing can apply to silas too! and it's interesting to me because if you choose to not lift yr gun, laura DOES have a moment of "this is a boy im about to kill" but that's kind of IT........ so we KNOW that she understands theres a person behind the werewolf. but because there's no huge spotlight put on it in general, or shown to have been a problem for laura before, it doesn't really like. matter? it appears so. little. in comparison to everything else, i mean

the difference between chris and silas for laura was obv. max. but it is irritating how laura holds a certain view for chris' situation and a different one for silas'. especially when it's only seen in ONE potential choice during that scene. maybe it was to show laura's complexity nd duality, but i mainly think it was. poor writing. they should've made that predicament, that battle of morality, a bigger thing, for laura, for kaitlyn, for everyone

so, yeah, in the end it's never "just" a werewolf. in relation to chris, to someone like laura MAYBE, but to someone else, like ryan, it's just. not

#the quarry #laura kearney #anon #mine #text #sorry the autism beast took over #hopefully i...... stayed on topic kldgndg #idk what prompted this but thank u for sharing w/ me..... i had a lot of fun thinking about it in depth #my TQ tag #my thoughts #my laura tag #TQ

Oooooo!!! Thats so cool!! I would be a violetblood guy!! Whats a derse dreamer and life player? /gen /nf

fuck YEAA violetbloods. u r the first friend we've talked to so far that would be violet. one friend + our partner are purplebloods n another friend is a goldblood... alistair would b rust....

AND!!! ok this is something that gets. a LITTLE bit confusing but less "its insanely complex" and more "its just fucking confusing the first times we try to explain it to people usually" but SO.

lunar sway / dream moon and aspect are two mechanics of sburb; they affect your personality (or, you could say, your personality DECIDES those), and your aspect is used to determine your role in the game.

aspect is a little more to explain ig - your aspect is essentially the source of your abilities once you unlock them (called "god-tiering" or "ascending"). it's paired with your class (like a literal d&d class), to make your hero title, godtier, or "classpect" (all names used).

your class is WHAT you do. your aspect is what you do it WITH, essentially.

life is one of the twelve aspects!! they go in opposing pairs, there's:

time / space light / void life / doom blood / breath heart / mind hope / rage

each one has a motif/theme/etc associated with it, each is connected to a metaphysical aspect of life, although there's more connected to them than just what their name implies!

life is our aspect; life, the aspect itself, is generally connected with plants, cycles, growth, healing, stuff like that. they kinda tend to be some of the "mom friends" in a group i guess you could say? (at least according to canon and hussie's own write-up for each of the aspects; we are inclined to agree As A Mom Friend)

one of our absolute favourite fucking things is classpecting (assigning a class + aspect to) our friends or yk. fictional characters we like. we've spent so long doing that for dsmp characters bro. we still arent even done. nor are we even concretely decided on a good amount of the ones we have decided.

your lunar sway.. im gonna be honest we actually just know less abt how the lunar sways work, but the way we see it in terms of personality stuff is that it affects how you see / interact with the world!! derse dreamers usually get described/assigned as being cynical / skeptical / stubborn / etc. theyre not PESSIMISTS, theyre just overly cautious and hesitant about the world and overprotective of. themselves tbh.

(we have been jokingly referring to derse vs prospit, the two lunar sways, as "black cat autism" vs "golden retriever autism" to our partner while we talk about the au we're making. not wholly accurate but it makes sense to us so.)

OKAY SO THE SHORT STORIES. I SHALL SEND EACH ONE AS A SEPARATE ASK, STARTING WITH THE EARLIEST.

so, one time i had gone out to buy bread (always going to buy bread when these things happen 😭) and it had gotten dark. the usual shop i go to inside the complex was closed so i had to go outside the gate, luckily a friend of mine named Oyi walked with me

on the way back (in the complex now), we sorta pass these three guys by the looks of it, streetlights were on but it was night so i couldn’t see too well

then, i hear one of them go “she’s the one with the twin” and everyone who knows me knows my sister more or less, we get confused as twins (idk why but) so obviously this guy knew me

i ask him who he was, i sorta call it out bc there was distance between us and he goes “you don’t remember me?” I go “no i don’t!”

and he leaves his friends behind and walks closer, i walk closer with oyi bc apparently oyi knows this guy

so i get closer and i see his face, he was kinda cute i aint gonna LIE but yeah. i tell him i still don’t recognize him and he introduces himself, lets call him Dev or something

and he asks for my name and i give it to him. he says im really pretty and from there its just lovely, chilled, comfortable flirting. i was laughing and smiling a lot bc thats just me yk, especially around new people and stuff

so we talk briefly and i have to go home, so i say so. he says “it was nice meeting you retaa” and i say “nice meeting you too” and continue walking with oyi bc he’s walking me home

and then i ask him. “Oyi. How old is this guy.”

Pea. Oyi goes.

“20.

and im like. “OYI YOU LET HIM FLIRT WITH ME KNOWING OUR AGE DIFFERENCE IM FUCKING 16.”

and he goes “well he’s turning 21 this year” AS IF IT JUST DIDNT MATTER

and i just tell oyi not to talk about me around him and to like let him know im 16 if he asks for/about me yk

BUT ALSO

THE GUY HAD TO HAVE A HINT AT MY AGE IF HE KNEW ABOUT MY SISTER AND I, RIGHT? I DONT WANNA THINK ABOUT THAT BC THAT’D BE REAL FUCKING WEIRD BUT YEAH

mans is closer to my older sister’s age than mine 😭😭

oh my god i thought you have a twin!! that freaked me out a bit bc i didn't know and how come i didn't know whattt but yeah it was your older sister am i right?

OKAY BUT HE'S TECHNICALLY 21 AND YOU'RE 16 UHM NO fsnsbsnb if he's like 18 and your 17 i can turn a blind eye but 21... he's like in college

maybe dev thinks you have the same age as your older since you are twins 😭 how old is ur sister again? is she my age?

hi hello so i know this isn’t about carolyn but im rewatching ke and i wanted to know what your thoughts are on Kenny cuz to me he’s so precious i love him and i hate the way everyone pushed him around yk

oh thats ok man !

sorry if this is a bit delayed though ;v;;

honestly my thoughts on kenny are. quite complex, as i have a lot of emotional attachment not only to him but also his overall family and the neurodivergent depictions of the presented three (3)

kenny was a character that, at the time where i first knew of this show, (probably like. two (2) years ago) i quickly came to take a liking to for the simple factor of relatability, as well as the charismatic aspects of him that in season 1 completely lacked in carolyn herself - as they are very much alike, but for my "younger" mind i chose to stick around to a character where i knew the emotional corruption would simply not be as heavy as with someone as cold and stoic as her, no matter how infatuated i was already since that one "do you want anything from the store" line of hers.

he gave me such a sudden and impactful confort, that although came crushing down with this biting and harsh realization of the mutual understanding over not understanding our surroundings and acting the way we do, everything that i hated about myself, every little aspect of awkwardness and those who i considered negative ive found to be entertaining and nice on him - an unraveling of neurodivergent thinking that was not bad or treated with disgust, but with actual nuance and reality.

i quickly fell in love, of course (platonically)

he was my comfort character, my blorbo, the one who i could talk about and know every inch of complexity to such a degree because finally i had found a character who i could truly understand with my own mind. and the feeling that brought up to me and my brain was so exciting, like a sudden burst of happiness and relief in midst of all the personal chaos ive been going through on that very year i came to discover the show

he was. so genuinely nice and capable

he was just like me, and he was still treated as much of an important character to the narrative - as far as his role went - as any other one. that feeling of relief is something ill never be able to take off my system

it was overwhelming, i cried many times, but truly after i came to sort myself through i realized how lucky i was to meet him in such an specific period of time where i dealt with so much self-hate and doubt over my own identity and "bad" neurodivergent traits

i cant say much over how his character truly came to be constructed, if it was well done narrative-wise or not, because through such rose-tinted glasses my brain comes short on rational thinking before events from season3

but i will say that, although his time was rather ill spent through certain moments thay would have been more crucial for his development if the thought of keeping him on further into this show was already as a main possibility, he still came to entertain me like no other character within this show (aside from carolyn, of course, which is a much deeper hole, and another whole deal when it comes to how im attached to her in a manner that relates to the neurodivergency represented within this specific character)

i was sad when he died, cried more than one (1) time about that for sure, but at this point came to realize that a certain detachment was what i needed the most regarding the show, so the entire process of "grieving" wasnt something i chose to actually pursue

in my mind its all but a fictional piece of media, where characters that impact my life simply come and go with no actual importance beyond the usual "i will miss them" lines we all throw - with no actual strings attached, really ^^" -, but this show and most specifically kenny are still so very much an important part of me and my life.

may whatever poor and miserable plot be offered, i would still watch his character development and growth if the state of mind and personality were still kept the same

it was nice to know someone like me on such a mainstream show, and i would never choose to abandon that kind of concept, no matter what else is presented to be negative

(though, to cases like of racism within ke's production ill still very much talk about it)

#asks #sorry if that wasnt what you expected #i got kind of lost in the middle of it all #but i still hope its a comment you can like. take something interesting out of

(And 18 im v interested in frappe art)

I accidentally deleted the first answer I'm a clown

anyway at first I hesitated before reblogging, like "am I enabling Lucy to ask for all of them? is it wise to give her all this power?"

8) uuuh this is already hard but I think lineart and sketching! like, in general. I just feel like my drawings are more expressive when only in rough form, more dynamic. If I have to choose tho I'd say hair and sometimes hands (I'm weird that way)

9) since I'm quite content with my lineart, the most of problems come with coloring, especially color painting. thats the part I'd loved having someone teaching me the most. 90% of my art is self taught and I managed to learn anatomy and proportions through experiments, books and other artists speedpaints but man. color theory, shading, lights are hard. also my pc works against me bc its screen makes everything a bit lighter and bluer than ANY other device known to man

another thing I'd love to understand better are backgrounds. architecture school taught me (half assedly) perspective and composition, but often when I draw i try to use complex scenery to get used to doing it digitally and not with 3d softwares. those are also the drawings I end up not posting because I'm not satisfied with ;-;

14) uuh I'm not sure how to answer this one. up until I was 14/15 I really liked making realistic portraits and drawing animals, but then I went through a loooong art block where I hated everyone of my drawings, so to improve i started copying other people's art, screenshots and fanarts. after a while I was so unsure about what to draw that I thought I forgot how to draw original things.

just recently, like 2 years ago, I started watching jojo, and its artstyle and colors were so weird, and the fanarts so beautiful, I started trying things on my own, bought a thick sketchbook and started filling it with drawings that progressively were more personal and I decided than at the end of the sketchbook i would have bought a graphic tablet. and since then, I've been fighting with colors lmao

I don't always feel inspired, sometimes it's really frustrating and it feels pointless, but I think right now it's one of my happier periods, artistically speaking (and you and the things you write and your reactions have a huuuuge part in it, you have no idea)

16) if the most fun is composition, sketching and lineart, the most daunting is color painting. I love finding shades that go well together, but sometimes it is stressing, because I feel like I'm ruining the vibes of the sketch and the painting is completely different from how I imagined it :/ and also for all the reasons above, like, yk, my asshole of a pc.

18) a big big dream (not really a project) is to use illustration experience for architecture, or architecture knowledge to work in illustrated books, animated series or fantasy/sci fi movies backgrounds, but it's something that's still very abstract in my mind.

the more concrete project you already know about obv, and it's one of the things I'm more excited about, is collabing with you for your next big project!

basically, for everyone not aware, I'm going to illustrate Lucy's next long wip, a jujutsu kaisen gang au, satoru's prequel story of her oneshot rabid dreams, and I'm so excited about it that as soon as it's out I'm never going to shut up about it >:3

thank you for the ask lucy! (and you know u don't have to wait for an ask game for listening me ramble about art lmao)

hello!! if you don’t mind could you elaborate on how you think the twitter fab four like. interact with kobra or how they see him? do they have a personal relationship or is he just kinda there cause he’s poison’s brother yk? idk i was just thinking abt it and wondering what you thought, ty!!

sdfksjh "if i dont mind" like i ever dont want to talk about twitterverse

so yeah like, i've been saying it a lot recently but i always try to have my crewmates like. like each other. esp in my zones, being solitary and not having a crew, while dangerous, isn't necessarily a bad thing or too uncommon bc the level of trust that i see crews as needing means that most of the time, there aren't people in a crew just to be there, theyre there for the family as much as the protection

how this shakes down in twitterverse with kobra is, obviously yeah hes poisons little brother but they dont lie to each other and they do (unconsciously a lot of the time) trust each other very intimately. they didn't have much of a relationship before leaving the city so everything that they Do have was a conscious choice, a 'i dont know this person well but they Are my sibling by choice as much as by blood and im not letting go of them' there wasnt a lot of room to go into this in SOA but like, they really do love each other very deeply and even their fights are more out of a fear of losing one another than anything else. party's a hothead and he says things in the heat of the moemnt but, and i think this was clear in SOA (i hope it was at least), as soon as he calms down he regrets it and tries to make that clear, in their own way.

for ghoul its a situation more similar to how kobra and cherri are? its very much a relationship of equals. theyre both the youngest by a lot in the crew, they're reckless in sometimes dangerous and often annoying ways, ghoul's not as dependant on waveriding as cherri is or as kobra is with sugar but having been a wavehead and still waveriding now takes out a lot of the judgement that kobra can feel from say, poison or jet. its somewhat a newer relationship (two years vs kobra's five years with poison and jet) but theres understanding and trust and enjoyment in spending time together and blowing off steam together.

with jet its a little more complex? theyre as much kobra's sibling as poison is because, really, they met only about three days after kobra and poison met properly/left the city/formed their relationship. and so theres a lot of, not necessarily protectiveness that jet has over kobra but kobra was fourteen when they met and jet was twenty, now theyre 19 and 25, thats a HUGE period of growth that both of them went through not even counting all the like. actual events and struggles and things that happened in those five years. you spend five years with anyone in such a close proximity and with such high stakes (wanted desert rebels hello!) and youre either gonna kill each other or end up loving each other. jet says what theyre thinking and theyre honest with kobra which is good for both of them and kobra is, despite being a handful, fun. hes funny and him and jet share hobbies and he gets along with mad gear so they're good at spending time together. on the other hand, kobra is a little wary (or like, almost jealous?) of jet. jet had a super stable childhood/teenagehood esp by zones standards, theyve got a steady relationship, apart from more recent traumas and weird witch destiny shit theyre well adjusted. compared to how uh, not, kobra is. that can make it a bit hard for them to see eye to eye on things, especially with things like how kobra very rarely says what hes thinking, its obvious thats irritating to jet and they dont understand it. but they work around that, theyre crewmates, theyre family, kobra cant imagine life in the zones without jet and at this point, jet cant really imagine life without him either. but that goes for all the fab four. theyre so entwined in each others lives that shit like hm... a crewmate getting captured, perhaps, throws them all out of alignment in a major way

you had to have been expecting an essay but tldr yeah, theyve all got personal relationships they all love and trust each other a lot

Thoughts as im watching episode 15 of true beauty

spoilers ahead (duh)

honestly i prefer how ju kyung and suho’s relationship ended in the show than the webtoon. pain yk. nevertheless im excited for some seojun and ju kyung moments. are they even gonna be in a relationship in the show like they were in the webtoon?

OMG IT WAS AN ALMOST KISS? i honestly prefer that to the webtoon once again. shows his respect for her not being able to consent while drunk and all that :) i love seojun sm i just want him to be happy please. but also if they do get in a relationship, what are they even gonna do with it? they gave a lot of their relationship shit from the webtoon to suho and ju kyung so i think its more likely that ju kyung is gonna reject him, especially with go woon rejecting ju young and all that i feel like that was foreshadowing in a way? idk i might be completely off base we’ll seeeeee

i love cho rong sm

i forgot to mention tae hoon and soo ah breaking up :((( cant say i didnt expect it since theyre relationship was a bit juvenile but i still liked them a lot as a couple and feel like although they werent the brightest or most complex they just worked?? idk i just liked their relationship a lot :( pain T-T </3

jk go woon just kissed ju young on the cheek throw the shit about foreshadowing i said out the window ASKDJSKL

jk they said sike so maybe it is foreshadowing??? idek anymore FJKDSLK

OMGARE WE GETTING A SOO JIN REDEMPTION?? PLEASE SAY YES OMGOMGOMG

seojun is so cute i will sob please the way he played with the snoopy toy i love him so much help hes such a sofite

AWWW SOFT MARRIAGE SCENES THEYRE SO CUTE IM SOFT

jk now theyre in a fight pain

seojuuuuuunnnnn pls my heart cant take it🥺🥺

sidenote i think i figured out why i prefer seojun x ju kyung to suhox ju kyung in the show whereas in the webtoon im opposite. theyre dynamics switched in the show. in the webtoon she was always much more relaxed around suho and on guard and more insecure/uncomfortable around seojun, whereas in the show i feel like its more opposite. idk maybe thats just me.

i knew it was too good to be true. of course seojun and her never got into a relationship. pain. why do the writers love hurting seojun what the fuck.

OH SHIT SHE JUST SAID SHE DIDNT MISS HIM DAMN. I MEAN OFC ITS A LIE BUT HO-LY FUCk, MAYBE I WAS WRONG???

why is ju kyung always sick all of the sudden huhhh??? also suho please leave is she tells you to leave 😀 i understand you still care about her but she’s clearly uncomfortable and she’s an adult and can take care of herself smh

dear writers: PLEASE STOP HURTING SEOJUN DAMN IT

aw no. dont tell me shes gonna use him as an excuse to get away from suho. dont hurt my boy like that. also suho stop being creepy.

seojun and ju kyung are so cute its gonna hurt so bad when she inevitably ends up with suho. ughhhh.

girl why are your arms just standing there limp and shit hug him back at least LMAOADASJFLK

overral: am in pain bc its obvious she still loves suho shes just mad at him and i dont want seojun to be used. pain.

#true beauty #true beauty kdrama #lim jugyeong #lim jukyung #lee suho #han seojun #kang soojin #choi soo ah #choi sua #kang soo jin #yoo taehoon #yoo tae hoon #kim chorong

So. Vicious. Eli, Victor and Serena? 👀

ELI

do I like them: YES. he’s just so entertaining. like can you imagine getting basically immortality and eternal youth but also a god complex (between you and god no less) the size of Saturn? thats free entertainment for days.

5 good qualities: his ego; my boy is resourceful, look at him going essentially full serial killer; smart; lapsed catholic (yes its a quality); and him being a control freak. like just mwuah

3 bad qualities: he has none. legit too good for this world. like if we are talking abt objectively, sure i can find some, but if we are going by my interpretation i like even the “bad“ traits so *shrug*

favourite episode/etc: hmm holding off my judgement until vengeful lol

otp: i mean i know that schwab has said smth abt the sexual orientation of either eli or victor, so im not sure if its up to canon. but victor/eli. like no contest

brotp: i mean also victor/eli. like honestly the entire thing when eli was playing rescue bc victor was so envious of eli’s powers so he kept trying to off himself? that shit was entertaining

ot3: dont really have one tbh :/

notp: ditto

best quote: “He hadn't meant to do it. That is to say, he hadn't set out in his car with the /intent/ to kill the janitor. But he /had/ unearthed Sykes's rotation schedule, and he /had/ gotten in his car at the same time that Sykes clocked out of his once-a-week night shift, and he /had/ seen him crossing the road, and he /had/ sped up” its by no means his best, but in the moment i was like. aight. fave

head canon: i dont know if its part of his backstory or whatever, but i do think he has daddy issues, specifically the religious kind

VICTOR

do I like them: also a strong and resounding YES lmao.

5 good qualities: hes an asshole, like the actual worst (love him); ik eli is supposed to be the charming one, but as soon he gets out of prison im like dude the dad jokes? 100 charisma right there; he knows dad jokes!!!;

3 bad qualities: does he have any? methinks not

favourite episode/etc: same as for eli, tho an addendum, for both it might be hard to top vicious lol

otp: same as above, eli/victor

brotp: eli/victor; and i can see myself liking, with more content, victor/mitch

ot3: nah :/

notp: ditto

best quote: when, after he basically rbing back from the dead eli, and my boy is all like god’s hands this and god’s hands that, and victor snaps “you put yourself in mine [hands]“

head canon: im going with touch-averse. like im not sure if in the book he proves me wrong, but thems the vibes

SERENA

do I like them: im okay with her ig? like i understand her motivations somewhat (you come back from the dead, and you come back wrong etc) but i do think they were less compelling than eli’s overall?

5 good qualities: i like that she was trying to take as much control as possible from eli (like, not bc eli would want that, but its assertive in a woman and i like it); she wants smth she knows how to get it, i can respect that;her being like, sure this dude tried to kill me, still down to fuck, horny icon (insert here the thing abt the powers tho. not really a fan of that); smart; knows how to kinda play in a team. kinda. she knows the basics ig

3 bad qualities: perhaps trying to kill your sister with your boyfriend is a bit much; terrible taste in men (i say this with love to eli ofc, but thems the facts) counts for two bc the infraction is grave

favourite episode/etc: lmao vicious since yk, victor happened.

otp: none. like her and eli are the only one on the table, and im not necessarily a fan of how it could all be bc of her powers. i like fraght power dynamics, but the siren thing wasnt making it smth enjoyable personally

brotp: her and sydney. look ik what i said abt it being a bit much, but look the codependence, the idea that your sister might not be truly your sister and the uncertainty that comes from that. its interesting at the very least, on either side

ot3: same as the otp. nada

notp: maybe eli and her tbh

best quote: cheating a bit bc this isnt her quote but abt her. still “She had always been convincing (that was the word her sister liked to use for lying) “

head canon: hmm dont have any tbh

everyday I wake up thankful my 12 yo "im an Intellectual ™" god complex ass was too much of a coward to fully commit to the SCP Wiki. like it has the grip, yk? sometimes u only realise how fucked up a group of people are after u get out of it and then it hits ya. being a teen and wanting to feel validated and then meeting people like those from wiki??? getting caught on that whole situation???? jeez, I could be one of those 10 dollar donors if it had gone differently and that frankly scares me

in all seriousness like. yeah. this is the mood. I have been cursed to bear witness to the SCP Foundation for over a decade now. I was 15 years old when I first saw SCP-173 on /x/, and 16-17 and then 19-21 when I was at my most involved (though not many people know about one of those time periods). these are probably the most insufferable ages to end up on that wiki, and if you don’t get out, you end up in your late 20s, your 30s, even your 40s, and you’ll still be acting like that.

and I mean. I was insufferable. I was a stereotype of all that shit the first time: assholish, thinking it made me cool, thinking I was hot shit. then the second time I wasn’t as dicky, but I was rude and flippant and thought the wiki was way more important (and therefore I was way more important) than it was. and that shit was just encouraged. everyone in my group chats was like that to some extent. I met some of the nastiest, most abusive people through the SCP community because the nature of it just attracts people who crave power. thank fuck I grew up and realised everything I laid out in my post, and I got the fuck out of there years ago. but I’ve been paying a cursory interest ever since, and lots of people find their way to me with their own horror stories, and sincerely it hasn’t changed a bit. I’d say it’s gotten worse, but yeah. it’s cyclical.

it’s amusing, in a way, that the people disagreeing with my post are only focusing on splitting hairs as to why the wiki isn’t Actually™ a cult, and totally ignoring all of the real, very valid points I’m making about the abuse of power on that website, and the toxic atmosphere it’s had literally since its inception.

sixcago gave me my gay rights

alternative title: review of the evening sixcago show on july third

this is like almost 4k and its mostly just rambling but i need to express how much i love sixcago

like at least half of this is just me being gay so i bolded some of the things that i found really interesting and isnt just me like, freaking out

so to start off: holy shit. the energy of the entire show was amazing, it was really funny and fun and the acting/dancing/singing was on point like i cant think of a single complaint on the part of any of them.

so to get into the actual show

ex wives

when the curtain came up and the smoke started pouring out i actually felt my soul leave my body it was such a good moment

less than thirty seconds in brittney mack made eye contact with me and i swear to god my heart stopped and i honestly had trouble focusing on the rest of the song

i am not exaggerating that is the whole truth and nothing but the truth

shes............. literally so good im still shaking as i write this like three hours later

the third repetition of the rhyme where they all sound kinda pissed off? they nailed that

adrianna was so cute when she said “you wont try that again”

andrea holy shit. thats really a wrap on that

abby got that like, kinda head in the clouds thing that i feel like is janes Brand during this part

when he saw my portrait he was like JaaAAaaa

i love brittney mack

courtney knew what she was doing with that prick line. get it girl

anna has the most angelic voice i swear to god

the six of them work really well together on stage???? like i know its all choreo and stuff but you could Feel the energy that they had together it was good

oh man the choreo for the end. im so gay

intro thingy:

adrianna with that riff!!!!! we stan

annas face after “herstory” was iconic. she knew what she had done wrong

you couldnt hear the intro for maggie bc people were cheering so loud

the way adrianna says maria made me gay

abby also knows what she had to say. she knows how cursed janes sense of humor is and she was really playing it up

protestent............ protestant

“we’ll tell you what you want what you really really want” this made me laugh so hard i dont rly remember the next like thirty seconds because i was dying

“the biggest.... the firmest......... the fullest..............” im. i cant

no way

“maria” AGAIN adrianna please. please i cant handle it

“OH muy bien aHHah” not to be Lesbian On Main but fuck this was so cute

her emotion during the monologue was SO funny

it was peak, it was so good

she really gets it. i dont totally know what it is but this aragon monologue gets it

when she said “really trying” she did like, a motion. i cant go into more detail but Fuck

so after “move me into a convent” everyone like, gathered around aragon and adrianna did a

well idk what youd call it but a like

her entire torso swung around in a huge circle right before “i dont think i’d look that good in a wimple”

and idk what it was but that part just made me Lose It

adrianna had this way of making it all a little funnier?

like catherine is usually pretty Serious, i think but it felt like adrianna knew she was playing a character who was Like That, if you will, and was kinda leaning into breaking the fourth wall a little

i can probably elaborate if that doesnt make sense

you say its a pity cos quoting leviticus ill end up kiddiless all my life

she said that with such conviction goddamn

oh, he doesnt remember

this was so good

the “sh-”s were really funny

the fucking. i dont know what it is but the *ting*

holy shit

i cant put into words

how much i loved that part

the pause after “i’ll go” was............ expansive

i just checked it was 10 whole seconds

that doesnt sound long but it felt like forever

she went high on “end of my life” and thank u for mine adrianna hicks

the amount of no’s was impressive and im heart eyes for it

adrianna just had really good stage presence

like i caught myself looking at her during the dance breaks of all the songs when i wasnt looking at brittney

it was just so fun to watch her go!

dluh

during the intro of like “yeah, you know, the really important one” andrea was doing some Dumb Shit in the background

like i dont know exactly what it was but she was just like

idk like noodling around in the back

and i caught her eye and she like, smiled a little

the gasps the rest of them did were....... cute

then andrea busted out a full on fucking witches cackle

then she stuck her tongue out and looked like she was taking a selfie and it was so cute

like, her tongue was OUT

“not my thing” had the BIGGEST uwu energy of anything ive ever heard

i thought people were kidding when they said andrea boleyn had uwu energy

they were not

pret a manger barely came across as a real line it was more like, an experience

the sorry not sorry choreo. its so funny and cute and simultaneously cursed

the way andrea delivered her lines here was just

it was like, cutesy and fun but also kind of cursed

uwu

when she said “are you blind” andrea like, gestured to herself, in a like “look how hot i am” kinda way

which might be the standard? either way it made me laugh a lot

don’t be bitter/cos im fitter was the only line in the entire production said with a british accent and it fucking slayed me on sight one hit ko

i actually like that they changed “mate, what was i meant to do” to “wait, what was i meant to do” because

it implies that anne had no other train of thought than the one she was on and thats very funny to me

i think it fits w andreas portrayal too

everyone was like, fake crying when anne fake walked down the aisle and it was really funny imo

and as soon as she got to the end anne like, turned, yk?

bro just shut up

the entire audience gasped after that

andrea had actual like, panic on her face

then she led into “i guess he just really liked my head”

and there was a beat after that, where everyone laughed

it was long enough that everyone got the joke

then she mimed the blow job

her riff on “hell”? iconic

“wait, didnt you actually die” no jane she was beheaded but she was fine

abby seymour said dumbass rights she has the Dumbest Bitch energy god

“catherine of aragon had tragically died” catch adrianna looking like, yeah it was so sad for me, how terrible, right?

then boleyn goes off

the. fury, passion, anger, zest, contained in andreas “MASSIVE-”

“over my dead body” andrea gave her this look like, youre damn right it will be

heart of stone

oof

okay so the monologue

oof

“i was lucky. okay, i was really lucky” o o f

“edwina” is still cursed tho

i dont know what it was about this. i dont know if it was abby, or the dialogue, or just it being live but

this made it clear that jane had been Through It

like, this monologue came across (to me at least) as unquestionably a “woman who was abused trying to justify it to herself” kind of situation

“and that’s not because i was scared,” she said, wearing an absolutely terrified expression

this is where she started tearing up i think

okay i gotta take a moment here because

abby was fully crying before the song even started

like somewhere about halfway through her monologue she started tearing up

i was looking for it specifically

i wrote this before the last part so see above

so by the first fucking like of hos you could hear her voice breaking

holy shit ms meuller what the fuck

im not kidding who gave her the right

at the stagedoor she said that after this she was like, “well thats it for my makeup” when someone complimented her song

she is crying. the first chorus and she is actively crying. in the breaks between her lyrics you can hear her crying

abby went high on a couple of notes in here

she riffed on “truthfully” and it was, wow

she didnt go for the whistle tones which was, honestly? the most relatable thing in this entire show

but a couple of the other notes she went high on and they were so killer

there was a second or two of pause after the end where everyone just, absorbed things before the applause

i have some questions for abby about this actually because i dont know if its just because the monologue was different than im used to but

i just want to know if abby meant to have everything come off like That but god

the mental gymnastics jane is doing here are so intense

this performance genuinely changed how i listen to hos forever

i dont think i can ever peacefully listen to this song again

this song gave me so many layered emotions thank u abby mueller

haus of holbein

hans................................. *holbein*

the chaos

i honestly barely remember most of it it was

i had no idea who to be looking at

but i remember it being beautiful

i dont have the words to express how

fucking funny it was

the accents were hilarious

like they werent great german accents, but that made it far better

they were leaning into the ridiculousness of it all

the way abby said “but we cannot guarantee that you’ll still walk at forty” had me on the ground

ive spent the last 24 hrs trying to figure out exactly why it was so funny and i think i got it

she dropped the german accent

and she straight up sounded like she was reading off the side effects of a pharmaceutical ad on tv

the freeze frame? legendary

anna and courtney (im pretty sure?) managed to look so genuinely offended that henry swiped left on them

your highness your highness your highness

god adrianna please

actually every h sound that came out of their mouths

but adrianna Got It

get down

oh god i gotta talk about “didnt live up to his expectations”

brittney like, half took off her jacket and gestured to her body and like, body rolled a bit and honestly? i was fucking dead

the sarcasm really jumped out here. brittney went off in the best way possible

she was fully fake sobbing right before “tragic”

fucking legend

brING me some pheasant!

the woof line is always a good moment but their facial expressions really made it work here

this song has the most outwardly complex choreo (ofc i cant speak to its actual difficulty) and every single one of them crushed it

brittney made eye contact w me again on “looking cute” and im deceased

oh god after “take my fur” she whispered “thank you. honestly” and gestured to herself again and like, i was dying

iirc brittney was like, skipping across the stage or something on “i look more rad” and snapped into position for “lutheranism”

we gotta take a moment to appreciate the operatic talent of that one “get down you dirty rascal” instead of the slo mo

like, ofc the slo mo is a good moment but

brittney went full opera and it was,

wow

shes got a voice on her holy shit

so much talent in such a tiny body

aCHYEAH

she picked the person sitting next to me to dance w her and

they did their cute little dance thing and then brittney gestured like, go sit down, and the person did, then stood back up and started dancing again

not like, in a bad way i dont think

it was super fuckin funny and after the song brittney was like “oh that was cute you think youre funny”

but i heard them talking at the stagedoor and like, brittney was chill it wasnt like a violation of anything

im not explaining it very well but it was really funny in person

everything about her on stage was just, so enrapturing

i dont have too many specific notes about this song because it would probably turn into just, me being gay, which is enough of this already

anyway! get down was good brittney mack is a stellar cleves

her fake crying is next level tho

the confrontation

boleyn, unprompted: i lost my head!

the beheaded cousins high fived after “nice neck” and like, stuck out their necks a bit it was so funny

seymours “i died”

we all know abby is gonna kill her line delivery

but GOD

and then after, she like, realized what she had said and struck a pose like, shit please still think im regal

the line itself was actually pretty, uhhhh, sad

theres something about boleyn roasting khoward in andreas voice

courtney with that “and your songs” had perfect timing

also “when will justice be SERVED” had such good punch to it

after she did that she like

rubbed her hand on janes face

and abby looked SO offended

theres something so, sincere about courtneys delivery of her roasts that i hadnt been getting and its SO much funnier to me

i forget exactly where but at some point boleyn aragon and howard were arguing

and in the background it really looked like seymour and cleves were having a normal conversation and i lost it like. they were just chattin

there were a couple moments of like, cleves and seymour interacting and it was interesting

aywd

courtney! mack! took! no! prisoners!

jesus christ

okay so i dont know if other howards do this or if it was just because i was seeing it live and up close and that made the difference but

for me the most compelling part of this howard was the fear

like yes there was the sadness/anger/etc like there was good emotion but

from the “he says we have a connection” re: henry, and then on, everything about courtneys body language just screamed that she was afraid

idk i might expand on this in a separate post because its a darker topic but yeah. holy shit that was emotional

not a single person clapped after the last line. they all waited until after “yeah, and then i was beheaded” before clapping

like the theater was dead silent. DEAD silent

it was like, so haunting because it was just courtney on stage at that point, with just the white spotlight on her, it was a Moment

im not sure i have the heart right now to get too deep into this

if it would be particularly interesting to anyone feel free to ask, im happy to get more into it but idk its just Emotional

actually this is already so long ima go for it

so on each “we have a connection” it was uhhhh parr and aragon (i think) who each put a hand on like, her clavicle

and for the first two verses she grabbed one of the hands and was like, flirty? ig

but on the one about henry seymour also put a hand around her waist and she like

she freaked out

and listening back to the audio i can

unpopular opinion perhaps but the actual emotion of her on stage didnt come thru in the audio

because it was so physical

like you could see how scared she was

which made it more relateable to me honestly

like she looked so so scared

it was heartbreaking

the confrontation part ii

oh BOOH OO MISTERESSES

“okay catherine, babes” is CUTE fight me

anna looked like, progressively more concerned as that beat went on, and then she just kinda like, deflated? it was really funny tbh

idk her parr feels Different than the parr im used to

during “oh im catherine parr i draw the line in arbitrary places” courtney was playing with her hair it was hashtag cute

BACKING VOCALS RIP CATHY PARR

idnyl

a cute little b flat major 7

yeah anna parr seems

hmm

she seems like she’s just, over henry

like from the start she just has no time for him

idk im Conceptualizing

anna uzele is

her voice is next level

she put survived in the “got married to the king became the one who survived” in air quotes which i think is an interesting note

anna got really physically into the “remember that...” bit of it and everyone in the back was also having a good time with it it was Good

andrea. she stuck her pointer finger between two of her other fingers on her other hand for the “my sixth finger” line and it was SO funny

khoward keeping aragon in line was

not the hot take i was expecting but nevertheless the one we deserved

both for “dissolution of the monasteries” and “well actually”

idk it was a cute character moment

one of *unsure, disgusted, vaguely annoyed* siiiIIIiix

abby was right in front of me and she looked SO uncomf

yeah, i read

iconique

andrea like, threw her head back for this line

the pause after “theres not much we can do about it now” is

painfully long and so so so funny

i was only really looking at brittney but she was like, arms down head up no body language it was SO funny

also her “yeah?” ended my life

she raised the mic up to her mouth while not moving an inch of the rest of her body

the part where they get all meta. has me dead

it was about halfway through this second part that i realized cleves had her coat back. i dont know when that happened. if anyone else knows when exactly anna of cleves gets her coat back after it gets taken off in get down please tell me. i genuinely want to know

this actually distracted me

i got vibes that they genuinely hated henry during this part

first off, mood

secondly, good

annas riffing. god.

she is so talented

dsfjksdf they all straight up left

six

the opening moment is really sweet and kinda funny

abby again killing it with janes cursed lines

courtney howard is actually so cute

when shes not being heartbreakingly sad that is

like her “bye!” was so cute

theyre all so supportive of each other its very cute

megasix

adrianna and abby both looked into my camera and like, i died

at the end anna and brittney were doing some dumb shit as they walked off stage and it was SO cute

after the show

i went to the stagedoor and it was a really fun experience! ive never done that before

it seemed like everyone was being pretty respectful and stuff, thank u six fans for being sane

i got four signatures on my program dklfjsldfjds

abby was such a sweetheart, we actually talked a tiny bit

i told her i loved her line delivery (because uhhhhhh i do) and she said that she tries to get in that comedic timing when she has Those Lines and like yeah

she was seriously the nicest

the ladies in waiting came out as well and everyone cheered for them and lets be real they DESERVE it

lemme sidebar here actually and talk about the ladies in waiting because

they killed it

bessie on the bass was living her best life at literally all times

brittney was also super sweet! i told her she had good energy (because uhhhhhh she does) and she was very nice about it!!!

i didnt really talk to anna or andrea but i got their signatures!

also speaking of my program im still losing my mind over “remembered for: headlessness” and “remembered for: staying alive”

thank u sixcago program

in conclusion! this was such a great+special experience!!! all of the actors were incredible, it was so wonderful

im also not claiming any of this stuff was unique to this performance or to sixcago in general this was just the stuff i noticed as i was watching it. if you clown on this post ill end u

#six the musical #sixcago #**#i typed up no way dluh idnyl and the after show part in a daze as soon as i got back #i got more of it filled in later and then i kinda lost steam #and im filling in the last bit almost a day later so yeah thats why some of its Like That #i ran out of energy for six/megasix but im not sure when ill get the energy so #and also this is Long as Fuck #and i have even more thoughts re: the cast and their portrayals #esp vs the west end cast portrayals
