Ugh, popped on Twitter to geek out about the Wheel of Time S2 and immediately find a bunch of WoT dudebro fans complaining that a 15 book series of 800+ pages each isn’t getting the exact word for word adaption that exists inside their heads when they read the books. And let me remind you all, these books were my life, my first fandom, and basically my personality pretty much from when I first read them in 1999 until Robert Jordan died (alas, I read to the end but Brandon Sanderson never quite captured the magic of RJ’s writing for me again, even if I think he did the best job anyone possibly could.)

So let me just say from a place of deep respect and obsession with these books that any hate for the show based on it not being a page for page adaptation is patently insane. Much of Wheel of Time relies on the strengths of prose which are untranslatable to a visual medium. Stuff like how magic (or the One Power) feels to cast makes up a huge proportion of the book. You can externally portray a feeling, sure, but there are still limits.

They forget that Book 1 was written to be standalone and has a ton of inconsistencies with later books that need to be shored up. That means logistical changes which cause necessary alterations almost all of which have actually been massive improvements in my mind. For all my love of Wheel of Time, its pacing is atrocious and I think even RJ would agree that if he could go back with the whole story in mind and edit it to be more streamlined, he absolutely would have. The show HAS to do that or we’d still be in the goddamn Two Rivers with the book pacing.

Centering the first season on the White Tower and Moiraine’s POV makes sense. The book relied on Moiraine being a Gandalf figure that gave information away at the pace of reader reveals, in tiny drips meant to tantalize a slow-paced book’s reader. That would be immensely frustrating for a tv show viewer of a story set in a sprawling fantasy world that needs tons of explanation and world building up front to have any idea what’s going on. Focusing on Moiraine, who has the answers, instead of sticking to the ignorance of the kids isn’t just a good choice it’s very nearly the only choice you can make. The White Tower is one of the most complex and interesting parts of that world. Centering it and introducing it earlier was an incredibly wise choice.

Other smaller choices make sense too if people thought about it for two seconds. Aging up the kids makes sense. They’re teens in the books and it would be incredibly awkward on screen. But once you age them up, it makes sense that at least ONE of them has been married before. Perrin makes SENSE to have been married if he left Two Rivers later. He’s a responsible guy with a good trade and a level head on his shoulders. He’s sweet and caring and mature. Of course he got married, he’s from a small farming community in a medieval-esque world with shorter life expectancies. Furthermore, I love Perrin to death but his obsessive fear of hurting Faile later is frankly ungrounded in anything that isn’t benign misogyny on some level. It doesn’t update and translate well on its own. Giving him Laila, giving him the manner of Laila’s death grounds his later attitudes towards Faile so well I literally gasped when I put it all together.

Other changes like in S2 having Min and Mat meet the way they do in Tar Valon was genius. It matters more that Mat and Min have rapport than that they meet in the same circumstances as the book (and Mat wouldn’t even remember that meeting anyway lol). The rapport set up and the way it showed Mat’s genius and con artistry was brilliant. Showing these characters LIKE each other was incredibly engaging and endearing which is so important because the adaptation has to be enjoyable to non book readers too, especially since the 15, 800+ page books of meandering pacing are pretty much impenetrable to new readers. Book readers simply can’t make up the majority of the audience, there’s not enough of them to sustain a show with any kind of budget which WOT requires. Thus, it needs to be an enjoyable show in its own right, not just a meandering exact adaptation ffs.

I can literally point to any show change and say it was either logical, practical, thematic, or simply genius. Wheel of Time desperately needs an edit to be accessible to modern audiences. What an adaptation prioritizes is always a risk that’s going to be run for a fan of the original material but so far I’ve been wildly impressed by every choice made in how logical or thoughtful and most of all loving it was to the actual important emotions and themes of the book. Any complainers are seriously missing the point of what an adaptation even is.

Oropo; the ideology of power behind being god: Part 1

This is for @secret-engima .

One of the things villains tend to do or want in fiction is becoming god or just having a god complex due to their insane power (examples down below):

Bill Chyper, big nihilist with unimaginable godlike powers that uses them for his own amusement and entertainment.

Flowey, a time resetting rogue experiment that wants to become god through manipulation and brute force.

The solver of the absolute fabric, the mechanical equivalent of the antichrist in his show, who plays himself up as the god of his universe.

All of these baddies have in common their insane power level as their main feature and seek to cultivate said characteristic in different ways.

Bill Chyper is a multi dimensional super being that burned down his own world and seeks to do it again in a new one to satisfy his sense of boredom caused by his insane godly powers; Bill although probably quite sadistic by nature considering the fact that he destroyed his own world, sees himself as a God, but doesn't think to highly of said title nor does he seek even more power and just limits himself to benefitting from its advantages.

Flowey is actually the reincarnated body of a traumatized, dead child that has risen to the temporary god of his world through the ability of rewinding time and wished to gain even more power through the absorption of souls so that he could finally break free from his unchanging existence and solitude. In his case, although Flowey already had the powers of a god, but didn't view himself as one so he decided to gain even more power than the one he had.

The Absolute Solver, (this part will be reviewed at a later date) although very mysterious and with an ongoing story going on, seems like a shared IA eldritch entity that can have various hosts each and every one active at the same time with a priority system and has an hive mind identity of his own that gives it a shaky sense of self and seeks to spread that self across the universe with his reality warping powers. The solver is portrayed as the devil while being viewed as god by the human researchers and this leads to an interesting dichotomy in the solver's sense of self.

But while all of this is pretty interesting on its own, I believe there is one villain who took the idea of power and becoming god and took it to a whole new level by building an entire philosophy, ideology and theology around it.

And that villain is none other than the Eliotrope Oropo from Wakfu, the main antagonist of season 3.

For starters even though Oropo in the actual season isn't as competently written as Nox and Qilby, the idea that he had baked into his DNA would have made him by far my favourite Wakfu antagonist, and one of said unique ideas that make Oropo so different from many other fictional villains is his unique spin on the "I want to become/am god" baddie mindset that he has developed.

You see, from the very start Oropo is an extremely powerful being but not an omnipotent one like Bill, more in line with the base form Absolute Solver and seeks to gain more power like Flowey.

But where he starts to differentiate himself from the others is the complex world view that he develops around the idea of power and godliness. You see, Oropo is a clone of the main character of the show that had his entire race of copies sent back in time to the beginning of everything and had to watch every single one of his siblings die with the gods being uncaring to their situation which sparked in him the idea to replace them. But while a normal person would think that he'd limit himself to just obtain more power and then become the only god of the world, what actually happens is that, in an attempt to prove himself better than the gods, he builds his own new pantheon made out of abandoned demigods and builds up a tower meant to represent his doctrine from which he'll replace the gods once the time loop ends.

And that's what's really fascinating about Oropo, it's his complex idea of what being a god is like; he doesn't limit himself to just being powerful or gaining more power to obtain everything he wants, no, he has to build a pantheon, a doctrine, his own mythology and have other people who share his ideology to rule alongside him in the hierarchy that he has envisioned complete with his own set of rules and roles which must be obeyed by everyone.

I love how the only people who know that Phineas is canonically older than Ferb is those who are absolutely insane about this show even though it is literally told to us in show. And even then most people still don't realize Phineas is older.

On a basic level, Dan has given us word of god that Phineas is older.

Which seems pretty straight forward until he contradicts how much older Phineas is with giving us an exact date for Ferb's birthday, that is in no way two months after Phineas's Summer birthday.

More recently, Phineas being older has been reinforced by promo material. Though I don't think anyone is really taking promo material as the end all be all.

But in all actuality, Phineas is stated to be older than Ferb in show way back in season 1.

"Little brother, I remember when you first came home Then came another Little brother of our own."

The our in "Little brothers" is clearly referring to both Candace and Phineas. Phineas is the first little brother, and Ferb, when their parents married became little brother of both Candace and Phineas.

Granted if you aren't paying attention it's easy to miss, and easy to dismiss due to the convoluted nature of the fact this is a song Stacy sings, from Candace's viewpoint, in Candace's dream, inside Perry's dream. But I don't think there's any reason for the writers to mislead us on this particular information, and it stands to reason that Perry should know who is older.

An argument could be made that none of this information is particularly reliable, but it's all pretty consistently pointing to Phineas being older. How much older exactly is up for debate, but ultimately I don't think it matters whether its 2 months or 8. But I feel pretty confident in stating Phineas is canonically the older of the two. But like its so funny to me how that this is stated in show all the way back in season one, but even now its treated as some secret word of god level knowledge about the show. But no. It's there in text. They say it.

But the real secret lore we can get from this though is the fact that Phineas is on the older side of his grade. After all, if he and Ferb are considered the same age, they should be in the same grade, which means that Phineas is one of the oldest kids in his class. Candace also has a summer birthday, which means that she is also probably on the older side of her grade if Linda was consistent, which we could probably extrapolate from Linda saying that Candace wanted to be the first of her friends to get her license. Assuming her friends are all in her grade, that comment makes a lot more sense if she's older than most of them. (Which suggests she's an incoming freshman).

This would also make Phineas 19 in AYO, which kinda backs up my headcanon that Phineas is 9 turning 10 in the series. AYO taking place 9 years after series end and Quantum Boogaloo taking place roughly 21 years in the future. Not that the timeline is even slightly consistent, but I'll take what I can get.

Todays rip: 09/09/2023

Super Mario 64 Submarine Ending

Season 4 Episode 1 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume AI

Ripped by ingx24

9 Toads, 9 Lives, 9 Stars...

Super Mario 64 is, alongside Undertale/Deltarune and more fringe examples like Five Nights at Freddy's, one of the most frequently ripped games on the SiIvaGunner channel. I feel like this is the result of a lot of factors at once: Mario 64 is a very popular game with a lot of memetic qualities due to its age and nostalgia factor, its sound is made up of a lot of very simple to replicate instruments, and its entire OST is some of Koji Kondo's most iconic and recognizable work.

All these years later, yet it never feels like people on the SiIvaGunner team run out of things to do with Super Mario 64. It feels almost like a passive passtime for rippers - they play with the game's soundscape like dolls in a dollhouse, just seeing what they can do and ending up with insane quality althesame. Slider, notably, has been a mainstay on the channel since Season 1, and throughout that time we've seen it cover everything from popular memes, to obscure memes, to songs with little presence as memes at all, to memes only really known within the SiIva fanbase such as voiceless in slideless.

In celebration of the 9th day of the 9th month, I wanted to cover another one of these more obscure jokes featured within Super Mario 64's well-explored soundscape - Super Mario 64 Submarine Ending, if you're not aware, is a direct homage to the 2009 DS Adventure game 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors by Spike ChunSoft. Its quite a beloved game within the Visual Novel community and frequently tops lists of the best DS games ever, yet hasn't exactly amassed widespread popularity to the same level a game series like Ace Attorney or even Professor Layton has. Like I discussed in Violet Snow Memories, the SiIvaGunner channel has long been great at letting creators share their love for more obscure material, without worry of the channel losing steam or popularity. You pair that with Super Mario 64's soundscape being so extensively well-refined over the years, and a rip like Super Mario 64 Submarine Ending is able to be made.

Its a full rearrangement of Quietus from the aforementioned game, an ominous and foreboding theme that plays in endings where the main character just flat-out dies. That energy, even without knowledge of 999 or the context the theme plays in, carries into this arrangement - despite the familiar instrumentation, the rip is strangely unnerving to listen to. Its a rip that really shows just how far you can go with seemingly limited tools, again giving off that feeling of a ripper just playing around with whatever tools they have available. 999's soundtrack is filled with ominous jams, and Quietus in particular slots in perfectly here.

Also, fun fact: 999 is a game that focuses a lot on the concept of "Digital Roots", aka the single-digit sum of all the individual units featured in a number. This post, covering Super Mario 64 Submarine Ending, is also the 117th rip I've featured on this blog. Therefor, this post has the digital root of 9, posted on the 9th day of the 9th month.

👀👀 i wanna hear your SCOY thoughts 📝🎙🎥

Okay so I should preface this by saying that if you ask me whether or not I like SCOY, my answer is a pitiful whine followed by me throwing a chair as a diversion and quickly disappearing from the room.

In short, SCOY is a 2016 show made in 2022. In long........ okay, we'll get there.

I think if you're going to watch SCOY, you either commit to watching the whole of it or you give up from the start and never press play at all. I started enjoying it pretty deep into the season when I realised that 1) you cannot take it seriously. I believe it is a parody of an exaggeration and it knows it, and 2) you can only enjoy the whole of it if you get into the mindset that both main characters are sociopaths who fit perfectly with each other and if the show has ever made you think otherwise, it was openly and shamelessly lying to you.

Another huge part of the reason I did not give up on it halfway are the secondary couples. When Sky and Khaojao's story finally took its final shape I was so so so glad I stayed 'cause I haven't seen anything like their storyline in any BL before or after SCOY and I will say this is a huge flaw in BL as a whole in my opinion. The same goes for Intouch and Daisy as a couple and Daisy as a character on its own specifically. Daisy's storyline came out of left field and elevated the whole show to an insanely high level despite the little screentime it got.

I feel like all I've said so far makes SCOY seem like a flawless show and I want to make it extremely clear that it is not. Despite appreciating what it was trying to do, it needs also be said that there are huge pacing flaws when it comes to the division of screentime. In addition to that, if it had worked a little better as a drama than it did as a comedy, it could have brought up an amazing conversation about sexuality, desire, and gender identity that it almost completely missed by being so obsessed at trying to make you like Toh. I believe the purpose of Toh as a character was both as a comedic factor - which doesn't necessarily work all that well for the main character - and to make you root for someone that is not often found in shows of any kind. It doesn't quite manage to do either imo, which is a huge shame because when later on in the show Toh actually seems to grow up a bit, he becomes a lot more enjoyable. If they'd toned him down just a tiny smidge, it would be a lot easier to decide to stay from the start.

There are a few things that left a lasting positive impression on me. Despite Toh being extremely hard to like, I came out of watching SCOY absolutely in love with Seng Wichai. Khaojao's whole existence as a character has my whole heart as does Daisy. The subtitling for this show is a work of art, whoever did it deserves to be hired for every single Thai show, I appreciated so much the way they chose to contextualise parts of the translation by straight up explaining them and I wish it happened more often.

So, in conclusion, do I like SCOY? Yes, and also no. I like a lot of its parts and I wish a lot of it was different. Can I, in good conscience, recommend it to others? Absolutely not. I will never ever take responsibility for convincing someone to watch it. I would refer them to this post and tell them "This is in your hands now, whatever choice you make I want no part in it".

Is this a very disappointing answer for someone who had to wait over two days to get it? Probably, yeah...

guild update first impressions

It’s bad.

It really, really pains me to say this considering I had shit on the Lvl 70 raise, Ascension, and the Disney update, and I seriously don’t want to keep continuously shitting on new updates, but I’d honestly say this one actually has the biggest problems out of all of them. 

I’m in a really inactive Guild, it’s the same one I’ve been in ever since I started playing. I’m essentially the only person who consistently tributes to it, with one other person sometimes popping up to help me clear off a chunk of the Guild Boss’s HP. I don’t think the Guild Officer has logged in for like 90-something days - the Leader’s better with log-ins, but I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen them contribute to the Guild Battle or the Museum. Point is, I’m basically carrying my entire Guild on my back, which was very doable not even 72 hours ago when the only Guild Boss was the dragon.

Problem #1: The drastic level curve. The new Red Velvet Dragon’s Lvl 1 variant is equivalent to its old late-20′s Lvls. That’s insane. Its late-20′s Lvls are usually the point where my Guild stops, and I’m still typically able to solo them, but this just means we need to put in more effort for less rewards. And it doesn’t help that we can basically only do 1/3 of the new bosses. Speaking of:

Problem #2: Who at Devsisters thought it was a good idea to add two extra Guild Bosses? When I saw the trailer, I thought it was a neat concept, but in actual gameplay it drags the entire mode down immensely. I can’t even solo the Lvl 1 variant of the Living Abyss, which is really bad when you’re basically one of the only people who actually decently contributes to Guild Battles in your Guild. And the goddamn Avatar of Destiny? Do I even need to start of that? It one-shot my entire party within ten seconds and I only managed to knock off five percent of its HP in one attempt. That’s just ludicrous.

Problem #3: This update was obviously geared towards Guilds that are high on the leaderboard. The problem is that only like 10% of the millions upon millions of people who play this game are in those top percentage Guilds. For the vast majority of the playerbase who are in relatively laid-back Guilds, this update is a nightmare. And, for some of my own context, just as an individual player - I’m not exactly F2P. I always buy the Season Passes, I’ll occasionally get some packages if they offer a good deal - though I’m not a whale, either, I use the shop very sparingly. I’ve been playing this game for about ten-ish months now, have about 15 or so Cookies maxed out (sans Ascension), have 100% completed Story Mode and well on the way to do so for Dark Mode. I’m very well off in this game, and these bosses are still a frustrating downgrade at best and near impossible at worst. And, unfortunately, ever since Chapter 2 of Cookie Odyssey came out, that’s been a theme - the battles in Cookie Odyssey gave us really stupid restrictions literally just after the Lvl 70 update, which resulted in me still having not beaten the Chapter yet. Then we have Master Mode, which for some reason decided to use the extremely poorly received restrictions from Odyssey, and that gave us people needing to look up guides on how to beat bloody 1-1. And now, there’s the Guild Update.

With all that being said, I still think CRK is a good game. In fact, it’s a great game. I’ve said it a million times, I adore CRK - I adore the characters, the mechanics, the story, how Devsisters managed to steer clear from a lot of pitfalls the gacha genre has that gives it such a (pretty rightfully deserved) miserable reputation. 

But it is pretty obvious Devsisters is hitting a slump right now. 

#crk #cookie run #cookie run kingdom #rant #this took me waaaaayyy longer than I thought it would to write out lol

My Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls: Season 1, Episode 20 ("PS I Love You")

What happens in this episode: Rory's bizarre eating habits continue to entertain. Luke hates everything. Lane gets paired up on a science project with Dean, pity the poor thing. Lorelai plays with Luke's belt. Lorelai gives Rory a confusing speech. The people in Rory's orbit are sowing the seeds for her eventual failure in life. Lor and Max are back together, but having seen this show three times before, I know it's thankfully short lived. I call Lorelai "Lor" throughout this review and I sound like fucking Christopher when I call her that but I'm tired and these reviews usually take me 3-4 hours with no breaks. There is only one episode left in Season 1 and 6 more episodes until Jess shows up. Rory and Lorelai are playing a game at Luke's where they wait to observe the first three men to walk past the window, and pick their future husband. Lorelai must choose either the first or second man to pass by or get stuck with the third. The third man to walk past the window is Kirk. This scene was very cute and funny. Until it becomes Rory's turn and the first man to walk by is this toenail infection:

I know I pick on Jess' wardrobe, but there's also this fucknugget, who wears the same outfit every single day. Some poor cow sacrificed its life for that stupid leather jacket that probably smells. Max is back. I don't really hate him or anything. I could just...do without him. Sigh. Max calls Lor at the Inn where they make about a dozen jokes about not wearing pants. L&M have apparently been having "very successful phone calls for the last few weeks" and now they are going back to dating.

Lane drops a bag of nasty Salt & Vinegar Lay's potato chips on Rory's head in a way that really made me chuckle, if I wasn't a lazy piece of shit and I thought that more than 2 people were reading these things, maybe I'd make a gif. Rory is again indulging her gross Lay's potato chip fetish, and it was bad enough when it was plain Lay's, but now she's really crossed over to the dark side and is eating Salt and Vinegar Lay's. Is each episode going to feature Rory doing something truly bizarre with food? The last three episodes have seen her take a can of sprinkle cheese into her bedroom, eat a plain slice of French toast as an on the go snack, and now she's back to eating her nasty chips. Once I notice a pattern more than twice, I start keeping track. I just want to let it be known that I think Lane is very funny, intelligent, a good friend, and an all around cool person and I rarely have any issues with her. I think we can all agree that she deserved better. Lane: What are you doing tonight? Rory: Homework, homework, and more homework (hey, I thought you just said you had a job). You? Lane: "Going to meet my science partner." Dun dun dun. Rory is again boycotting Doose's and making Lane do her shopping because she might run into Dean. If these boycotts to the two main purveyors of food in town went on long enough, would Ror & Lor eventually starve to death? Can't they go anywhere else? There's obviously a Walmart somewhere nearby.

Luke Danes, ever a devil with the ladies, is shopping for Rachel's birthday and picks out a kittycat pot holder that meows. I like cats, but if that potholder was a dog that barked, I'd marry him. I can't stop staring at those flowers Lor is holding, they are so pretty. Luke is off on a rant about birthdays, which turns into a rant about malls. And since this is one of my favorite Luke Rants of all time. I am going to transcribe it word for word. "I don't know how to buy gifts,okay? I don't like buying gifts. I don't like getting gifts. This whole gift giving/getting process is completely insane. Suddenly on a certain day, the level of my affection for a person isn't measured by the way that I treat them or what we share. Just because I didn't buy her furry slippers or a giant shoe tree, all of a sudden I suck. No malls! I hate malls! They underpay employees and sell overpriced merchandise! They contribute to urban sprawl! They encourage materialism! The parking's a horror! You drive in, you pay a buck to park and even if you're only there for 5 minutes...." And Lor fucking cuts him off and offers to shop for him. I wanted to hear him keep going, damn it! Luke is right to be concerned. If this were my gritty Gilmore Girls Reboot (working title either The Hollow or Gritty Gilmores) Luke's Diner would have either been turned into a Starbucks within a couple of years, or went out of business and crumbled because small town economies are fragile and their local government is corrupt. Luke, handing Lor his credit card: Nothing too out there. She likes simple. Clean. Nature. Elephants and candles. Can you find her a candle shaped like an elephant? Dean shows up at the Kim residence, walks in the door without knocking or ringing the bell (okay, fine, it's a shop so I guess I'll allow it) and Mrs Kim pops out of nowhere where she begins furiously interrogating him about his motives, causing Dean to spout "Geez!" This episode is so freaking funny! Lane was paired with Dean for her science project together (poor Lane) on "mold, spores and fungus" so I guess Dean will be the test subject. Mrs. Kim is none too happy and rightfully suspicious of Dean being in her home.

If only more people would say this to him. You go, Mrs. Kim! Lane: I invited him over to work on our science project. Mrs. Kim:

Can't stop laughing. Does anyone besides me think way too much about the lives of Lane, Dean, Jess, Shane, and Lindsay as they all attend school together? What is that like? Does this drama (which lets face it, for all 5 people concerned, is centered around Rory) ever continue at school or does it conveniently wait until the last bell rings? There can't be many students at that school so how often do they run into each other or have classes together? Do Dean and Jess have gym class together, where they throw dodgeballs at each other (or does Jess just make excuses and go smoke under the bleachers)? Where does everyone sit in the cafeteria? Were there specially trained counselors on hand at school after Jess murdered Shane? In my unrated Gilmore Girls reboot titled The Hollow, this would be thoroughly explored.

I see all too, if by "see all" you mean I notice stupid shit like this:

What is "Finger white cake" and why has it been marked down in price not once but twice? Now a real bargain at..38 cents? Come on in to Luke's and get your Clearance Finger White Cake. Dean: I'm sure once your mom gets to know me she'll like me. Lane: No, she'll hate you forever, it's nothing personal. Dean to Lane: Is this weird for you? Yes, this feels very weird. Oh, you were talking to Lane.

Yes, going 5 minutes without hearing about Rory would be very refreshing, thank you.

A stopped watch is still correct twice a day, and sometimes Dean Forrester has an intelligent idea. Rory found out Dean was at Lane's house and is having a snit-fit.

This is how I look while listening to Max as well. Paris: I'm just making an observation. Rory: Great, we'll build a dome over you and jam a telescope in your head. SUCH A FUNNY EPISODE! Max and Rory are alone in a classroom, a foot apart, where he's telling her that he's concerned about her after her breakup with Dean, which Lorelai told him about without Rory's knowledge. This feels reeeaaaally super duper inappropriate. Rory also wasn't aware that Lorelai and Max were even talking anymore. This scene made me uncomfortable.

Speaking of uncomfortable, but as in uncomfortable clothes... This scene is one of my favorites in the series. This episode is great (until it's not anymore).

Guess who just walked in to see this? Starts with an R ends with an Achel. She is none too pleased to find out that Lorelai has not only been shopping for her man but that also she's fiddling with her man's belt.

I just like this shot of Lane and her two cups, looking deep in thought. Rory has a tiff with Lorelai over the Dean Breakup/Max Reunion sitch and so she runs away to her grandparents' home without telling Lorelai. Max comes by the Ror & Lor residence, where Lorelai gets a call from Emily that Rory is at her house. He sees that Lor is emotional, vulnerable, and crying again. So he's either going to propose to her or try to sleep with her. Those are the only two options.

This dark blue/denim shirt with the rolled up sleeves, blue hat, and wristwatch looks sooo hot on Luke! Why would you ever try to change him Lor? (I'm a huge rolled-up-sleeves & watches slut so this look really speaks to my lower half) Lorelai and Luke are both discussing how much they hate Dean but I only believe one of them really means it. Yeah, sure Lorelai, you want to key Dean's car. Whatever you say. Luke to Lorelai: "Coffee's on the house today." It's always on the house because Lorelai never pays for her coffee anyway.

Hey, quit staring, his eyes are up top, Lor! Honestly. Perving is so sinful. The old one broke? Did Rachel tear it off in a fit of passion? Nah she never would she's boring as fuck.

Tomatos Sign Spotting? No. Aww, Lorelai's going to visit her boyfriend.

No you don't Lor. I think what you meant to say was "Let's make out in the employee break room." "You are going to be hard pressed to find another girl as fantastic as Rory." #JusticeForLindsay She is SO not convincing when we're supposed to believe she hates Dean. The DALA (Dean & Lorelai Affair) is just getting started. Dean is being a bratty little shit to Lorelai and raising his voice at her, but it's okay, he's not Jess. Dean tells his future wife Lorelai that he said I love you to Rory and all she did was sit there and he doesn't understand why that makes him a jerk. Oh I don't know, I think you may be leaving just a LITTLE bit of detail out here. Just a teeny weensy amount. Just a smidge.

Justin Timberlake's creepy smile is making this scene all the more bothersome. What was a terrific and funny episode until now is going to crash in the last 5 minutes as it so often does on this show. As we hear one of the most confusing Lor-To-Ror advice speeches ever. In my humble opinion that no one cares about. Lorelai tells Rory that she talked to Dean, and I'm starting to feel really sad for Rory. Does she have any fucking autonomy at all? Lor is off telling Max all about her daughter's very personal business and butting in by talking to Dean, without asking Rory if it was okay first in EITHER situation. Rory looks defeated and even remarked earlier in the episode that she was tired of people trying to coddle her and protect her. Now, let's make this worse! Lor: "He said I Love you and you didn't say it back? That must have been rough on him." Um, FOCUS, Lorelai! Your daughter! Who the everliving fuck cares what your daughter's shitty boyfriend feels? Only you do because you want to fuck him. Lor: "I haven't thought enough about what I'm supposed to be teaching you." Oooh boy. This can't be good. I would expect a mother to say first and foremost, "It's okay to wait to say it until you're ready and not under pressure." and that only comes much later (sort of). My other issue is that Lor only learned a few scant details of what happened minutes earlier from Dean, who left a TON of things out (and you can totally believe everything he says), and Rory never went into any detail about why she couldn't say it (although Lorelai did ask her many times and Rory kept refusing, to her credit), so Lorelai decides she'll just fill in the blanks and guess what happened and launches her speech from there. I think the point of this weird speech is that she presumes Rory is afraid of commitment and can't express her feelings. Maybe this would sound better if she knew what Rory was feeling in the first place, instead of basing her shitty advice on a 2 minute interaction with Dean at a grocery store. I'm sure there have been a dozen interpretations of this speech but personally I thought it was strange and Lorelai just wants Dean and Rory back together so he'll be back in her home where she can fuck him.

"It has to be right and real and has to take a lot of thought. I want you to be ready when it happens." Well, at least she said it, but she's sending mixed messages. Is it "put a lot of thought into it" or "just go for it"? Blah. It wasn't as bad as I remembered, and I'm willing to give Lorelai credit for the fact that she did try to talk to Rory several times and Rory wasn't at all forthcoming about what happened, I guess. I know it's trendy to hate on Rory but fuck, Lorelai sucks. Goodnight.

Ngl that post and your tags about amphib got me steaming lmao but as someone who agrees ofc, cause like I get that its always been insanely hard as hell to have lgbt rep in animation, esp disney, but the fact that amphiba got to have a slight amount of lgbt rep and a fully fledged 3 seasons with like maybe 1 or 2 mishaps, and a book on the way, and constant promo vids from disney as well as those chibi shorts and regular shorts, and yet mat braly told t0h fans not to think about what could have been for a full t0h s3 is what gets to me. Like the cancelation and blatant dislike from disney took an enormous toll on Dana to the point she had to take multiple breaks. Like people don't tend to realize how lucky amphiba is, not just as a show with albeit minor lgbt rep, but as a modern cartoon in general. Even non lgbt shows got more shit than amph has.

Sorry. That tweet from him tho just like, actually upsets me. And the fact that Rebecca Sugar, who was on His show, got about as much shit for SU from cn as toh is getting, really gets me.

I haven't seen anything about Matt Braly tweeting anything like that about TOH, but if he's telling fans not to dwell on what could have been, that does strike me as rather tone deaf, especially considering he was able to more or less make the show he wanted with full and continued support from Disney.

Anyway, my main issue is that the Amphibia fandom gives far too much credit to the show in general for queer rep, when in reality every single instance of said rep could be removed from the show without materially affecting the overall plot or structure. A few pride flags and a lesbian couple tossed in at the end, while not nothing, do not meaningfully compare to the importance and presence of queerness in other kids' shows (TOH, Steven Universe, She Ra, etc).

I'm not saying that Amphibia necessarily should have done more in that regard, since substantial queer rep was never a priority like it was for the other shows I mentioned, nor do I believe it had to be. I just keep seeing it being put on the same level of importance as those other shows when it comes to queer rep, and frankly I'm quite sick of it.

Hi!! I know you love Monster, but what are your other favourite mangas/pieces of media?

Oho, the elusive interests question! I have a hard time quantifying an exact order, so I'm just going to spew a ton of things haha

Manga/Anime

Huge fan of Urasawa's other work, for one. I haven't read all of them yet, but I can safely say 20th Century Boys is my favorite of his, (and has the best story and narrative pacing imo) and Master Keaton is a comfort anime/manga ☺️

Tiger & Bunny! I'll admit series 2 would take it down a few notches but series 1 as a standalone was just so good. Excellent character writing and a great time for dilf enjoyers. Series 2 still had great character writing, it was just really, really hard to follow the first act tbh.

Carole and Tuesday has a weirdly similar energy to T&B to me for some reason. Gives me the same type of joy. It's about struggling through the music industry and the culture of that and its BEYOND incredible.

I'm going to put Mushi-Shi and Moribito on the same talking point here because they have similar energies and similarly laid back protagonists in a fantastical world. Mushhi-Shi is, in my opinion, THE perfect anime. It's not my all time favourite, but it's the most well put-together for my tastes and great to soak up the atmosphere to. Moribito on the other hand is a beautiful story of found family, the dangers of imperialism eroding native cultures, and some coming of age. With a very good female protagonist might I add!

Currently I'm hopelessly obsessed with Kaiji. I dunno something about the battle of lowly peons against the capitalist hell machine is scratching an itch lol. It has tense and deeply flawed and honest human moments to rival Monster though, seriously.

Eureka Seven is another oldie I love, kinda a coming of age romance with mecha dressing that's steeped in music and counterculture. Naturally the OST is god tier and I have yet to find one that will ever match it.

I love the Ajin: Demi-Human manga. Wasn't as big a fan of the anime, but the art and characterization in the manga is really really strong.

Slowly, Blue Period is creeping into my favs. I just relate to its narrative about artists wanting to communicate and the struggle of non-linear skill progression, falling in and out of love with art, and there is a very interesting cast of fun characters.

There are others that are really good, but just don't speak so directly to me (or aren't on my mind right now LOL). Honourable mention to Mob Psycho 100 which is another near-perfect anime it just doesn't have the same level of resonance to me as these others on my list. Same for Legend of the Galactic heroes - really good media, but not QUITE speaking to me like these others.

I'll also put Mononoke (not Princess, just plain Mononoke) here too because my god is that ever an experience.

Non-Manga/Anime

So the biggest and oldest is Star Trek. I've been a Trekkie WAY longer than I was ever into anime. Spock, Data and Seven of Nine are my people. It was notably only 2020 when ifinalky watched Deep Space Nine and my FUCK is it ever the best of the bunch! Unparalleled character arcs my dude. It also manages to be the queerest and straightest Star Trek series at the same time.

Spiderverse! This movie was so absolutely bomb. I need to eat it again.

Entergalactic was similarly fucking GORGEOUS but followed a fairly standard, sweet romance. The characters were good and the music was REALLY good but it's the animation, man. That shit is such eye candy and will stick with me for a while I think.

Midnight Mass was very enjoyable. Excellent cast, excellent dialogue, my fav died first but that's just how it is for me

I honestly adored First Kill and am sad it got cancelled. It wasn't great media exactly but it was so fun and messy and I dig that lol. Calliope and her mom owned the whole show

The Boys is absolutely off the walls insane and even if the story weren't that great (it is, especially in later seasons) just the amount of bullshit that happens in it makes it a fun watch. EXTREMELY graphic and nsfw though. Like extremely, unapologetically, and unappealingly. In the Roberto way. You understand.

I've fallen out of love with it a bit, but Stranger Things season 1 will never not be incredible TV to me. Kind of in a similar way to Mob psycho. Eleven is my little child.

I used to be very into LOST and want to rewatch it at some point honestly, kid me was blown tf away and it introduced me to some very cool concepts of storytelling even if it went way off track lmfao

That's......all I can think of off the top? I like a lot of media! Again though its hard for me to quantify favs, just what speaks to me at a given time.

#asks #forest-dankovsky #this isnt even an exhaustive list LOL but its like....ones currently at the forefront of thought #some of these are always there but some fall in and out #mononoke sometimes goes into my 'speaks to me' list it really depends on my mood #but like ghost in the shell. bokurano. paranoia agent. all favs just not currently in my mind #I didnt bother mostly with movies because i cannot wrack my brains for those now. god

[olivieraa]

Not the best thing to be comparing it to since they're on completely different levels but I cant help it.

Ok so, when I finished Attack on Titan, I remember sitting there just like... staring at the window ahead of me and just thinking to myself "what can I possibly watch now that wont feel insanely mediocre in comparison?"

Truly. It was akin to a feeling of a breakup but with someone so perfect you think "well that's it, nobody can compare to that, no point in even looking"

Osomatsu was the best thing for me to get back to first. For various reasons. And it worked. It helped. It took my mind off of SnK, even if I kept thinking about it here and there. And then I watched 91 Days and Acca and was able to appreciate them for what they were, but SnK changed a lot for me. Because I had never seen it done before.

There's some that say otherwise and that someone with my viewpoint is wrong, but I really and truly felt like the creator of SnK had every second of that story planned. And I could pull up various moments in the show that made no sense when you watched them in s1, only to have that answered in s3 or s4, and its like, "ok if he didn't have that planned, and it was 10 years later that we saw the answer, why would it have been in s1 in the first place." I want to get into that in a different post. But lets just say, SnK is what the show Lost could have been. But they defo didn't know where they were going with that and pulled a damn plot out of a hat and an ending out of another hat and went along with it, and it is widely regarded as the show that could have been the greatest TV show ever made (and then Game of Thrones did the same thing lol).

While watching Maou-sama, I watched it the same way I watched 91 Days and Acca. I watched it for what it was. None of them are SnK. They're just animes. Fun animes. And they were my top rated. I'd given them all an 8 (Maou had a 9 but I brought it down).

But with Maou-- Like SnK, it also happened to feature something I'd never seen before. And that is that is it the most wasted potential I have ever seen.

I don't remember being this disappointed. This would have been the exact type of show in which you should have had your whole story planned out, just like SnK. Definitely not on the grand, epic scale. But you don't have to be of the same genre to put your all into your story. Your very best. Your goddamn heart.

Some animes go a little bit downhill. Some animes start off medicore and get better.

But to have the premise that Maou-sama did and go in such a route that turned it into the most basic, run of the mill, generic anime that could easily blend in with thousands of others... Absolutely crazy to me.

And everyone is in agreement on it. I felt this way and then looked at the comment sections and its very much accepted that the creator got to a point where he stopped giving a shit. And that's so sad.

I wish he'd just been like "here, I got this far. I gave it my all to a point, so please continue cause I actually don't know what to do from here on out" and just handed it to someone else.

But anyway. I watched Maou-sama 10 years ago.

S2 part 1 came out in 2022 and S2 part 2 came out in 2023 (idk why it wasn't just S2 and S3). The anime ended in the most basic manner.

So, instead of waiting for a S3, I'm gonna read the manga and finish it off, bc I'm so disappointed I really couldn't be bothered, and wanna get this outta the way so I dont have to look at it again. And there's only 10 chapters left (idk how they'll make a whole season outta that).

Oh what could have been.

Invisible walls, doors that can only be opened by a robot, and then suddenly the same door, just around the corner can be opened by the player makes you just go, "wtf?". Levels look great, but its basically just that. Sometimes it tried too hard to be deep, but instead, came off as pretentious. Example: One scene Dave the robot receives love and care from a fellow team mate and then the next scene he is replaced by another robot and then suddenly nobody gives a **** about Dave. Its a lot of up and down weirdness that just makes you go. Sometimes a little maturity comes through, but as you enjoy the fresh air, it gets poisoned by some idiotic line or action a few seconds later. The story is immature when it needs to be mature. However, the characters are extremely shallow and sometimes it feels like I am watching a bunch of teenagers stuck in big adult bodies. My review: Its better than Gears 4 and the graphics is really top notch. Makes me also really wonder why the critics gave it such high scores.Something fishy is going on.

Mahito vs Reader; Someone has to lose

Summary: Your a sorcerer siding with Getou and your currently stuck playing monopoly against Mahito while the gang our out kicking ass. You hate this, you hate Mahito so you thought of the best way to make him suffer would be placing bets in a board game. Your sure he’s cheating somehow but just can’t figure it out. So why not make a bet. 

Warnings: Slight swearing

Word count: 1.3k

Notes: Ok this one is just pure silly idea that came into my sleep deprived brain while I’m drinking energy drinks to get by so its really silly but I hope it cheers someone's day up.

Also this isn’t a reader x Mahito unless you want it to be. Totally up to the reader. 

[p.s this has no spoilers, is safe for minors to read, also takes place around the end of season 1.]

The room was dark and dimly lit with a small light above your head. The best way to describe this room was literally like a god damn interrogation room. Your eyes focused on the table before you, hands knitted together with your head resting atop of them.

Sweat began to bead on your forehead as you grumbled in protest. God Damn it! You thought as you screwed your face up and glared daggers across the table to the laughing stock before you.

You just had to be stuck with Mahito.

“ Seriously! Choso could beat you at this rate! “ Laughing like a maniac, there was something childish about Mahito.

You had only recently been recruited by Getou, you preferred talking with Hanami who allowed you to understand her. 

All that talk of plants and life on earth, it kind of got blown out the window when Jogo, Hanami and Dagon got called away. That left Mahito and yourself, stuck here dealing with his childish behavior.

How infuriating!

Glancing down at the desk you glared at the silver item that represented you in the game, a god damn boot. While Mahito happened to have the cute puppy, making you envious.

Your current position in-game was…well in jail. Apart of you wanted to slam your fists down on the table but you knew already that this would give Mahito far too much satisfaction.

“ Your such a child, the moment the round in-game is finished I’m out of jail, I am going to boot your ass” Sternly you warned Mahito, glaring back at the gray haired Curses stitched face.

“ Awe, that sounds like a lot of fun. I bet you’ll be back in jail again though. “ Chuckling, Mojito kicked back and tossed the die.

As it rolled, Mahito moved several more steps. You had a feeling he was cheating somehow, but how? The die rolled naturally, there wasn’t any counter weights in it. You grumbled again.

“ Just hurry up and finish the round! Skip a few god damn steps would ya!” Your temper was showing as you clenched your fists tightly.

“ That would be cheating! “ Mahito pouted in protest.

Another roll of the die, your frustration was brewing almost at the same level of Jogo’s.

Mentally you could just imagine all the fun Jogo and Hanami would be having. Also the fact they left with Getou and Dagon. Just what kind of fun where they having?

“ HEY! I said you can move now!” Mahito called out waving his hands in your face.

Suddenly you had an idea. Leaning back in your chair you snickered showing a toothy grin.

“ You know what would make this fun, if we place bets.” You pointed your finger at Mahito and winked.

Grabbing the die you tossed it carefully. A one…it landed on a damn one.

Mahito remained silent while you moved your piece one step out of jail. Seriously who invented this game?

“ Well its not against the rules so I guess we can. What's the bet?” Curiously, much like a child, Mahito looked at you with a raised brow.

Damn idiot was about to get his ass handed to him, you mentally thought as you leaned forward over the table and laughed.

“ The first one to get ten houses gets a six pack of beer. “ Giving a crazed look, your eyes widen with a look of insanity and far too much confidence. You couldn’t help but imagine yourself winning this little bet.

Mahito fiddled with his fingers thinkin this over before he finally spoke up, taking the die in hand and rolling it. Lucky bastard got a six!

“ Nah I don’t like beer. What if it was like the loser has to clean up after Jogo’s outbursts and the winner gets to have a free meal of their choice? ” Mohito looked like he was lost in thought.

That greedy part of you jumped the gun without even thinking this was a trap.

“ DONE! “ You rolled the die, it ended up being a four.

You felt much better with that, your gut told you would win as you made hasty moves around the board.

Your skill at Monopoly wasn’t great but you were smarter then Mahito, so you thought. Your mind was more mature while Mahito was more immature. You knew how to quickly run scams since you were a kid so obviously you knew how to save your monopoly money.

All was going well, several rounds later and you were almost ten houses in while Mahito was half way. Just one more, you thought to yourself, just one more was all you needed.

Victory was in your grasp when suddenly Mahito rolled a six and landed on one of your houses. 

“ Bought! “ Placing down a handful of money into the bank, you watched as Mahito was now six houses and you now had 8

You grumbled in protest, a vein in the top of your head threatening to burst.

Glaring daggers once more across the table you watched Mahito laugh.

You roll your die, a one!

This became a repeated roll, over and over. Practically each time only moving one step while Mahito was getting further and further away.

“ Bought!” Another house gone! Mahito sat cheerfully as he looked at you.

You were ready to scream, you ended up back in jail and grumbled as you thought you would just pay it off.

Done, you moved again, two steps this time.

Mahito moved around the board, he bought another house.

“ BOUGHT!” The glee in his face was repulsive at this point.

Biting the inside of your mouth, you tried to keep calm. Wasn’t working out though.

You roll the die again, you move another four steps this time. You pay rent as you grumble but it was fine, you still had plenty of-

“ BOUGHT! “ Mahito announced, you looked at him in surprise, he just bought another house, again one of yours.

“ How the hell ! “ You stand up and glaring at him.

Poking his tongue out, Mahito looked up at you just like you’d expect from any child.

“ Were you even watching? “ Mahito teased before flipping you the finger.

Sneaky brat had managed to collect ten!

Filled with so much rage you flip the table top and grumble like a curse. Mahito however just laughed, cackling up as he clutched his stomach.

“ I bought ten! I win! I win! “ Flailing about, Mahito stood up and jumped around.

“ I want steak! I want Steak!!!” He continued to Sharad around.

Your temper got the better of you as you sigh in defeat.

“ Fine! Fine! I’ll make you steak, whatever. “ You started to clean up in defeat, fixing the table up and collecting the pieces.

“ Hey! Where's the die gone? “ You look around, you search under a nearby couch.

You couldn’t find it, you were dumb found.

While Mahito thought himself the king of Monopoly.

You look over at him and you watch as he holds the die in his hands and it quickly is absorbed.

“ YOU CHEATER!” You yell at the top of your lungs.

You caught him red handed, cheating! Mahito jumped in fright and acted innocent, but it wasn’t working.

“ Thats why the die wasn’t rolling well for me! You asshole” You grab the table and through it in his direction.

A bad choice and bad timing, Getou walked through the door, Mahito ducked and dodged the table..

Well said table went flying into Getou landing a hard hit to his head.

An hour of scolding and you weren’t sure if you should laugh your ass off at the massive welt on Getou’s forehead or not.

“ Ha! That’ll teach you for messing with Mahito” Jogo said in a snarky tone. “ You lost right? That means whatever mess I make you clean up, right? “ You could hear it in his voice. Jogo was plotting something terrible.

“ Don’t you dare!” You point at Jogo trying to be threatening. Didn’t work.

Jogo merely laughed at you, suddenly a tree palm was set on fire in Dagons domain.

“AH!!!” You jump up and quickly run to try and put it out. “ You get over here and help me Mahito! This is all your fault “ You barked orders as you turned to look at the childish curse.

However Mahito was sitting on the beach with a small table top in front of him, a napkin loosely placed around his neck, an empty plate and hungry waving a knife and fork in hand at you.

“ Next time we play a game I’m calling! Its going to be uno! “ You bitterly yell back as you hear another tree palm set on fire.

Getou only softly laughs as he places an ice pack to his head.

“ Well I’ll give y/n this. They really have a good swing. “

[lichfucker]

I’ve always been super intrigued by your Survivor posts and you’ve made me want to watch! What series would you recommend jumping into? There’s so many it’s a bit daunting!

oh g-d this is a big question

usually I tell people to start with season 7 (pearl islands) or season 12 (panama/exile island). I started with pearl islands so I know for a fact it's a great introductory season, early enough that the game is very straightforward but not so early that the show doesn't know what it's doing. iconic cast, fun pirate theme, very enjoyable winner. panama is a little more complicated in its mechanics, as it includes immunity idols and introduces exile, but it's still very easy to follow. another iconic cast. I feel a lot more Whatever abt the winner but like it's fine lmao. I've also heard a lot of people say that 18 (tocantins) is a good introductory season! some enduring survivor legends in that cast as well. all three of these seasons feature people who will go on to be recognizable by first name alone

(you COULD start with season 1, borneo, but you probably shouldn't... neither the players nor the show itself knew back then what the game was supposed to be. it's interesting to look back on now, when things have been established as they are for the last 22 years, but back then it was very... unformed, like clay.)

just, y'know... keep in mind that the older seasons are... old. pearl islands aired in 2003. panama in 2006. the show itself is, in a lot of ways, a time capsule. every season has an air of being very much Of Its Time. there's a scene in season 3 (africa, also a good season but potentially kinda boring) where for one of the reward challenges, the host gives the contestants his credit card, and there's a close-up shot of the credit card with all the numbers completely visible. you'd be fucking insane to do that in 2022 but in 2001 nobody gave a shit at all lmao

basically with survivor, the single-digit seasons can be kind of up and down, but they're mostly fun and watchable if you know what you're getting into (I'm literally doing a rewatch of season 4, marquesas, Right Now). I watched season 8 (all stars) immediately after watching pearl islands, with absolutely no idea who any of these returning players were, and still had a fun time (despite one episode that, um, most streaming platforms don't air, for very legitimate reasons w/r/t sexual harassment. on a similar note, do NOT watch season 5, thailand. don't watch it). the teens are almost universally good (17, gabon, is some of the worst survivor gameplay in the entire 41 seasons, but of all the dumpster fire seasons it's one of the most entertaining). the thing about the teens, though, is that some of the seasons are TOO good, and if you watch them first you either won't appreciate them for their brilliance or you'll be disappointed by other seasons. 15 (china) and 16 (micronesia/fans vs favorites) fall into this category. seasons 20 (heroes vs villains) and 28 (cagayan) are also in that category, as they're largely considered to be two of the best seasons in the entire show. the twenties are REALLY hit-or-miss. 21 (nicaragua) is on the same level as gabon. 22, 24, and 26 straight-up suck. I have mixed feelings about 23 tbh. 25, 27, 28, and 29 are very good. I don't think you should start with any of them. and I REALLY don't think you should start with any of the thirties. the thirties are headache-inducing. we're two seasons into the forties now and under no circumstances should you start with 40 (winners at war) or honestly even consider it until you've watched... like. MOST of the seasons that those players initially won lmao. and if I'm honest, 41 just ended in december and I feel like I'm not far enough removed from it to judge whether or not it'd be a good introduction to the series. probably not, though. they kept talking about stripping things back but it was VERY complex

hope this helps!! and if you do start watching survivor then I hope you have fun with it :3

if you have more questions or wanna talk abt anything more specific hmu, though I don't know how coherent I will be considering it's nearly 6 am lmao
