New toy for the gats - Steiner DBAL D2
So initial impressions - I knew about the problems specific to Steiner units going into this like the prolapsing plussy(tm) possibility or the general fat fuckedness of the D2 specifically, and knowing what to expect has definitely made it a bit easier to settle into The weight is the main and obvious drawback and the remote cable ports work just fine if you aren't gripping and ripping like a moron.
There's still a few things about these I'm not a huge fan of, but mostly just related to the lack of aftermarket There aren't really any alternative mounts for these short of modifying existing ones to fit The availability of spare parts (namely spare lens caps) is practically nonexistent And the fire button on the back, while in an incredibly convenient position, I find rather mushy, no nice tactile click, and it's such a small button with a high guard that it's annoying to press, especially if your fingernails are any less than freshly cut
THAT BEING SAID These are as close to a military FP laser you can get that you can actually take out repair services for and that makes all the difference for me The illuminator seems nice and crisp and has a pretty wide range of focus The fact that I can zero this thing in the daytime using the visible laser which the IR laser is slaved to is a great benefit Not to mention there are bolt-on front sight blades for these lasers to use in place of a typical FSB or folding front sight
tl;dr: Pros:
Powerful af for a civ laser
Good overall form factor
You can actually get customer service for these things
Cons:
fucking heavy lol
lack of alternative rail mounts
self-removing crane ports (if you're dumb)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For frame of reference, an ancient 1990's AIM-1/DLR somehow weighs less than the DBAL D2 lmao

characters that have definitely worked at a movie theater because I’ve been working nonstop for four days and I need to cope-
Robin Buckley
Tumblr media
^ live footage of me at work
pretty sure this was made canon by Rebel Robin and it was the movie theater Steve’s friends vandalised in season 1!! I don’t know why she stopped working there but she just like me fr
hates ushering because of the amount of older people and classmates that are rude to her. box office can be similar but she only has to deal with a rude customer once in a while, so it’s a lot chiller
Van Palmer
Tumblr media
I wholeheartedly believe she worked in a movie theater pre-crash, by sheer proximity of her little video store in the adult timeline. TaiVan movie theater dates are real to me </3
gets sleeby at box office but enjoys ushering and concessions because there’s the most to do. Definitely doesn’t sneak Tai and Nat in through the back of the theater and slip away from work to visit them
Mindy Meeks-Martin
Tumblr media
She would eat UP those free/discounted movie tickets working at a movie theater gives you. She def used that to take Tara and Amber to see Nope 🫶
video stores are dead (rip) so this is the self fulfilling Meeks prophecy (gotta fill out those parallel the original requirements y’know). Had a ill-fated co-worker romance as is tradition
Randy Meeks
Tumblr media
He worked at one for, like, a summer, and decided he liked working at the video store WAY more (why get free theater tickets when you gets discounts on renting movies you can watch over and over again?)
Liked box office the most so he could talk to customers about their movie choices, either complimenting them on their taste or maybe not-so-silently judge them. Stu, Sidney, and Tatum (occasionally just Stu and Billy) would always come to his theater to terrorise him (lovingly)
Richie Kirsch
Tumblr media
also eats up those free movie tickets. felt bad about not giving money to the franchise he loves when he went to see Stab 8 but after leaving the theater furious and disappointed, his tune about that def changed
Richie’s capable of being a charming (if not awkward) guy, so he definitely did great at being a greeter. Richie in the box office is pretty similar to Randy, enthusiastically talking to customers about the movies they’re seeing (though he’s a little more quiet with his disapproval lmao). He’s the epitome of “if you see me at work, do not trust that mf. That’s work Richie. I go to work, put on a smile, and just black out.” me fr
Tabby Hawthorne
Tumblr media
another canon one but she and Mouse are the only mfs I could stand in this show and I can confirm local small theaters don’t do background checks smh 🤦 if you or a person you know has been personally victimized by a weird male employee at your local movie theater you may be entitled to financial compensation
Lester Averman
Tumblr media
I was about to say Guy but then I remembered Averman canonically worked at a theater in D2!!!!
I’m gonna assume he worked at someplace big and fancy like AMC, so he probably shifted between concessions, greeter, and usher. BITCHES about working usher (his co-workers are so sick of him fr) because despite doing hockey, the soreness half way through a shift is real. Gets put up front as greeter the most, snoozes whenever he’s put in box office. He likes working concessions the best (and definitely doesn’t steal food from the company)
Guy Germaine (+ Connie Moreau)
Tumblr media
fuck it, these two join Averman next summer at the movie theater and terrorise their co-workers by being so obnoxiously in love (martial problems? Never heard of her)
Guy is a naturally charming greeter (to Averman’s eternal annoyance) and customers absolutely adore him. Connie can’t be in box office anymore because she refuses to take shit from rude customers (and Guy just gets mildly annoyed, and Connie jumps to his defense). So now Connie just bounces between the different shifts, kinda favours ushering because she finds it (mostly) chill.
Eric Bemis
Tumblr media
^ more live footage of me at work
Eric is a concessions guy and if he works at a big theater like AMC he’s certifiably insane, I hate that part I hate it here. Definitely can get overwhelmed by it but he prefers it over the strain of working usher and the rude people are mostly up at box office and he’d end up so anxious, he’d let minors into R-rated movie. Rip king fly high 😔🕊
will probably update if I think of anymore but thanks for indulging my ramblings

I know Mal was meant (imo) to be the creator's pet who got away with everything but OMG she deserved better. Like why was she written to spell Ben in the first place?? Mal didn't need romance she needed someone to teach her better morals, and therapy lmao. I'm anti mal bertha but the way she was written just messed up descendants for me...like couldn't we have had her struggle with not using magic in D2, and still actively being good. I also wouldn't have made Hades her dad in D3. Wouldn't have her rule either, why was she even becoming queen at such a young age?
I have mutuals that re write Mal all the time and I can see how they could've made her likeable. Most common one is she's an edgy art student. A character that wasn't perfect, made past mistakes but ultimately ended up being a good well rounded character. Honestly if descendants was a stand all film I could get liking Mal (even though in D1 I still didn't like her) but we see that this was meant to be her journey to good not her actually being good. But in D2 and D3 we see that she doesn't do any actual growing she just gets worse. If we didn't see how everything was supposed to be in Mal's favor, you would think that the writers hated her because she just got worse and worse. You could see the downfall of Mal actually being a good person or taking accountability for anything is, the only reason she became good is because she was 'loved' by the most powerful person in Auradon. There was never any actual reason why she wanted to become good all on her own, the others did she didn't. Her goodness was directly linked to wanting to be with Ben and we see how that turns out. She basically switched Ben for her mom but Ben is a major pushover so she's the one in control. As for Hades being her dad, a lot of people hate that because it was just not needed and Evie fit the bill more. I think Dove had something to do with that honestly, because I remember seeing an interview right after D1 before D2 was even confirmed I believe, and she was saying things about wanting Mal to go back to the Isle and struggle with good and Bad and wanting to know where's Mal did was and all that basically happened. As for her ruling, she wasn't supposed to be, that was supposed to be Ben's job which is was too dumb and young to do (I love Ben but he was such an unfit king to the point people look at her to rule Auradon and not him) She only got put into a 'ruler' position because Ben let her pretty much, had he not proposed she wouldn't be ruling anything. Other than that only reason would be is that horrible dragon that never actual won a fight and even then her being a 'protector' still wouldn't give her reign to speak up over the king. So her 'ruling' is Ben's fault in my opinion.

your portrayal of adam banks is my favorite portrayal of him i think ever… what are your other thoughts about him?
OH MAN. thank you so much 😭 i sort of talked about him here kinda recentish! as for other stuff… i will say that i feel like i’ve seen a lot of takes recently about adam’s relationship with his dad that i don’t really vibe with. 🤔 implying that he doesn’t care about adam’s wants/needs, or that adam’s scared of his dad, which i don’t think is the case at all…
like, if you think about it. to adam and his dad, bombay is the villain of d1. the movie framed adam’s switch to the ducks as something positive for bombay, the ducks, and, eventually, adam. and–while this may be true–reverse the situation and you end up with a father who is told that his kid can no longer play on the team that he wants to play on. the team where he has his friends, the team his big brother (who adam most likely admires) used to play for. like!!! IMAGINE. some jackass coach from the worst team in the league coming up to gleefully tell you that your son–who is not only incredibly talented but loves the game–can’t play for the rest of the season or his team will have to forfeit. i would’ve socked bombay right there in the face lmao. THE AUDACITY!!! 
so, phillip banks tries to do what any involved father would do: find a way around it. possibily throw a bunch of money at it, because he’s in a position that he can. again, bombay refuses. not because he wants to give adam a place where he’d be treated better. no. he doesn’t know that kid. bombay says no because he’s a petty bitch, knows that adam is a great player, and does not want to give reilly the advantage. then he leaves the office quacking like an asshole. if i had been phillip banks, i would’ve been questioning that man’s sanity.
ANYWAY. we know phillip’s opinion: according to him, adam would rather not play than play for the ducks. except! adam shows up in the locker room anyway, which means that his choice was different: he just wants to play hockey, no matter where it is. and, rather than telling him no (especially after witnessing how much of a quack his new coach is), phillip agreed. 
this shows us two things: 1) phillip cares enough about adam that he’s willing to let him go to a team that he (phillip) may not like, as long as it means his son gets what he wants (aka to play hockey). and 2) adam does not cower around phillip. he was able to tell him that he wanted to play and “win” whatever argument there might’ve been. it was adam’s choice. i think this is a very important distinction to make.
“but tumblr user gaffney,” i hear someone cry in the distance, “what about that time adam’s dad wore a hawks jacket to the finals?” WELL, random shout in the void, it’s like i said: to adam and his dad, bombay’s the villain. we don’t see phillip ever interact with bombay again prior to adam’s injury. now add the fact that adam wasn’t exactly welcomed to the team and most likely returned home from practice every week with another story of how jesse hall glared at him from across the rink (with good reason but that’s another story). it’s very likely that adam himself thought he’d be going back to the hawks after this season. he was still embarrassed/uncomfortable/trying to hide his face when he saw mcgill & larson, and this was after they’d made the playoffs. basically, phillip had no damn reason to support the ducks, even if his son was on the team. and even despite that, he cheered adam on. he left his seat immediately once adam was injured. they held hands when adam was rolled off the ice. 
then there’s d2. in flashbacks, we see bombay’s dad, who appeared to be a really good guy before his death. bombay then draws parallels between his dad and adam’s dad, which is something he probably would not do if he (still) hated adam’s dad or (still) thought he was an awful human being. to quote bombay, “(bombay’s dad) didn’t need me to score a hundred goals for him. he was proud of me because i was his son, and i did my best. i’m sure that’s how your dad feels. i know it is.” 
tldr; #letphillipbankslive2k23. there’s no need to woobify adam into a poor abused little rich boy tbh, but that’s just my Hot Take.

Watched the early premiere of the 1st divinez episode and here are my highlights:
The ending of the will+Dress D2 manga got spoiled at the start of the episode. Raika became Deluxe 2 champion.
Akina is such a boyfailure I love him.
His sister, Hikari, is just the cutest ever.
Akina's mom is dead wtf. I had a feeling that she is but damn it's now been confirmed.
Mikoto looks sophisticated at first but she's just a klutz and girlfailure.
Suo getting into trouble and Akina always getting him out lmao they're boyfriends fr.
Akina's other classmate was the real MVP.
Nao looks so cute in the work uniform aaaaaaaaaaaa!
Oh god Hikari's illness strikes again and now she's in the hospital again.
Seems like Hikari tries to be optimistic despite her illness but Akina is worried and doesnt want her to suffer.
Akina got the KS fated card and met Gab.
AKINA PROCEEDS TO FUCKING PUNCH GAB INTO OBLIVION LMAO (i would do the same)
jesus christ Akina's physical strengthin his punch alone tho
Gab suddenly appears in Akina's house. Jumpscare induced.
Gab is a dragon
Akina wants to learn vanguard and seeks Nao for help
They visit the card and OH MY GOD, NAO AND MEGUMI KNOW EACH OTHER W HAT
NAO CASUALLY CALLS MEGUMI 'OJOU-SAMA' OUT OF THE BLUE THIS GAYASS
Megumi blushing girl pls date Nao
Akina and Nao begin their cardfight
HOLY SHIT RIDE ANIMATIONS ARE BACK- and now it's a cliffhanger
THE MASKED KID!!!!!??? AND WHY ARE THEY HIGH UP THE TOWER!!!???
God, the 1st cfv divinez episode was genuinely fun. It has a nice mixture of good light-hearted moments and emotional torment. It introduces the characters and their dynamics swiftly and I love the nice blend of grounded and supernatural elements.

Oh no I’m so sorry!! I hesitated to say anything cuz I wasn’t sure if you were just taking your time lol. Sorry we’re down to the last day but let’s pack in a lot of questions in that case!! First off, Ashley is kinda slaying in that vid ngl. And I love learning more about latam Disney channel, thanks for sharing!! What show were they on?? And you have a point about Sabrina lol. Switching gears, ofc ik you love descendants and mal and Ben in particular, who are your favs outside of the core four and why? What are your fav ships besides bal and why? And what are your biggest hopes for rise of red? I hope you have a great holiday and enjoy your gift tomorrow!! Sorry again for the miscommunication!! -gcwca secret Santa
don't worry! i was thinking you were busy or something so i didn't say anything either sdjhdhdsj i know tumblr tends to be the worst functioning website on the planet but we're all still here so i guess that says something about us
okay this is gonna be a long one buckle up
1 - they were in a show called que talento! (yes with an exclamation point) and they were basically playing themselves if they went to high school and were still amateurs lol i really liked the theme song but only the show version bc the studio version sounds awful sorry bruno i know you produced it but it sucks
2 - out of the core four (and ben) i have to say uma is a huge fav for me, probably my 3rd favorite character of the franchise. when i heard china anne mcclain was back on disney channel to play her i was sooooo excited and i can't imagine anyone better for the role. i love that she has such a strong sense of justice and community even if her ways aren't necessarily the best. obviously i love that the franchise makes sure to let us know she and mal are two sides of the same coin and if they weren't both so proud and stubborn they'd be friends, but i like that uma isn't just a carbon copy of mal like they're very much two different characters. uma is driven by collectiveness and she cares so hard about everybody it's almost aggressive and she's such a great example of leadership on the isle (as acknowledged by both ben in d2 and mal in d3 (and as a side note i'm obsessed with mal, ben and uma's dynamic and i could ramble on about it for the next 10 years but that's not the point)) and if i don't stop now this is gonna turn into a mal vs uma analysis
3 - i really really love the idea that mal and uma are exes. like to me that's just canon and no one is gonna tell me otherwise bc it doesn't contradict anything! "and how would you know, mal? you've never had [a boyfriend]" so in my head she could have dated uma idc it was probably quick and messy bc they would have this toxic power struggle which ultimately ends in mal not letting her join the gang. i think they would absolutely kill each other as a couple now bc of how similar they are but as exes? hell yeah that's a vibe
as for present day relationships i'm a fan of harry and uma getting together at some point in the future bc lbr those two are in a weird situationship lmao i also love jay and gil!!! very unexpected but jay realizing how jaded he's become after seeing the beauty of gil experiencing things with such wonder and then deciding to do a gap year so they can travel the world together is something that can actually be so personal
ALSO i'm not usually one for crackships but harry x evie had me like 👀 in d3 bc sorry wtf is this
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
for the record i don't think they should realistically get together, i don't think they'd work out, but the chemistry is there and for some reason kenny chose to highlight it so idk
4 - oooo so rise of red. here's the thing. i'm fully expecting this movie to be bad sdjdshjdjhsjdh i'm mostly worried about these seemingly amateur writers they got. like. even if descendants is its own little fanfiction thing let's at least try to make things coherent inside its own universe. the fact that they all went to school together defeats the purpose of beast UNITING THE KINGDOMS but well anyway let's see what they're gonna do
i like jennifer phang as a director though! she did two eps of cloak and dagger (one of which is 2x01, one of my personal favs) and the pilot of secrets of sulphur springs, so i know she's competent. and mark hofeling is coming back which is GREAT bc changing the production designer would be a terrible move for a spin-off partly set in present day. i just wish kara saun would come back to do the costumes but oh well
i'm so excited to see your gift!!!!! i hope you have a great holiday as well!!!!!!

My thoughts on this week’s episode of the Mandalorian:
Rip Nevarro ig and they were doing so well smh
If this is another filler ass episode I will be so upset what happened to this being a show about Mando
I wish this wasn’t a Disney show bc these bitches need to be able to curse each other out so bad
Oh thank good Mando is here
BABY GIRL <33333
I do truly miss this being the Mando + Grogu show but I don’t entirely hate what’s happening (I don’t like it tho)
YEAHHHH GROGU <33333
lmao they just have. a fucking talking hammer it’s very funny
You should lay your lives down bc Grogu is cute as shit
Oh okay. That. That’s not what i expected but that’s a slay good job Paz
when people call Din by his proper name <33333
Okay this episode has gotten better since the start that’s fun
Din is being such a goddamn babygirl today I adore him
Mandalorians are really just born to slay huh
Paz is being a badass again I do love him sometimes
This feels like they’re fighting a losing battle and I’m not crazy about thatttt
Well they are at least on the ground
The Armorer my fucking beloved I love when she gets to beat the shit out of people
And the Mandos are winning again they’re slaying so fucking hard <3333
SLAYYYYY I LOVE THEM <333
Once again we’re proving that Din and Bo-Katan work best when they’re together and that’s some sibling shit right there
GROGU!!
omfg they’ve got a fuckin home now <3
Oh god the Armorer wishes to speak with her
Where in the flip flap fuck are they
Oh it’s the sewers it’s been a hell of a minute
Remove her fuckin,,, excuse me what now
The Armorer is making her break the Creed???? Her of all people???
Im so confused what is happening rn
Ohhh bitch Din was the one who was supposed to get this arc fuck you >:(
Din has the Darksaber he should be the one uniting them you fucking whore >:(
She can do it without the Darksaber??? What’s Din meant to do?? Is he gonna lead the Covert while Bo-Katan unites the Mandalorians???
What in the fuck is that it’s very very threatening
Ah hell Moff Gideon is back smh I’m sick of his shit
Mandos rescued Moff Gideon??? What???
Overall this was just… not that good of an episode? Like it was fun and I enjoyed the battles but it really made me realize how far we’ve strayed from s1 and how the writers seem to just not give a shit about Din and Grogu and their arcs anymore
I’d rate it a 3/5 bc there were good scenes but overall it just isn’t that good anymore? Save for designs and acting the show’s gone seriously downhill and I’m hoping that if it gets renewed for a s4 (if it hasn’t already) it starts going uphill again considering all the other shows coming out that can set up future Star Wars projects
Just a side note, but I hate to say that TBoBF did a better job with Din and Grogu than Mando s3 is, and that is really really sad imo. But that just… did better with interactions and characterization, especially with seeing the two of them separated? I think it would’ve been better for Grogu to be seen in TBoBF, have Din give Ahsoka the chain mail, but then we just don’t see Luke give Grogu the option to leave or not? So that way we get to see Grogu hijinks while he’s on his own with R2-D2 and/or Din trying to rebuild himself without his son around or trying to get Grogu back throughout s3

star wars, for fandoms
my top 3 favorite characters...
Lando Calrissian
R2-D2
Tenel Ka (yeah i know she isn't canon anymore but idgaf)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this was hard bc i love luke and leia a lot, obvs, and threepio and chewie and han, and ig-11 and din djarin, and adi gallia and plo koon, and obi-wan and qui-gon and... what finn and poe and rey could have been orz what the fuck disney but yeah. these are the top 3 for me
and i'm objectively correct about lando, who should be everyone's favorite. the charm! the fashion! the business acumen! i've loved this beautiful scoundrel ever since his first appearance, and that love has only grown over time, so i'm adding a bonus lando pic that always makes me smile:
Tumblr media
fuckin dweeb lmao i love billy dee williams so much too
artoo is also a no-brainer; little shit has been terrorizing sith lords and causing mayhem for generations.
tenel ka tho...i admit this is another one of those childhood nostalgia hits for me. she was in the Young Jedi Knights book series (which followed mostly han and leia's kids who are also no longer canon but were way better and cooler than kylo ben)
she was secretly a princess, and fought hard to be taken seriously. when she and her peers were building their own lightsabers, she, in a competitive rush, went forward with a defective build, which resulted in her 'saber fritzing out during a practice duel, leading to her arm getting cut off--and then the 'saber exploded, which meant there was no reattaching it.
a lot of the subsequent focus on her was learning how to do a bunch of shit one-handed...tbh, she was the first character i ever read about learning to navigate a new physical disability, and it was right after i'd had an illness and developed pretty severe breathing difficulties, so i took a lot of strength and pacing cues from her back then, watching her rebuild her skills and her rancor-tooth lightsaber (!!!)
i have no idea if the depiction has aged well but thinking about her again is getting me all riled up about finding copies of those books to reread lol

do you think that a portion of the mara hate is sustained by the dissonance between whats presented in game and whats written in lore? I feel like there wouldnt be anywhere near as much hate as there is if it was more clear in game how she helped with the two major things (House of Wolves and Oryx) that did save humanity. Think about it cause asking any current d2 player to go back to d1 just to replay these expansions is out of the question (source, im a d2 player that took 1 look at d1 and said nope), the hate is primairly about her selfishness and moral dubiousness while she is hailed as a good person but comes off cold and uncooperative (A part misogyny, yes) and just the most any current d2 player will actually see of her actions in game, like things that have happened in game, is her in forsaken (kill Riven lmao) season of the lost as muddled as that was by the discourse, and then her during the parasite mission. if like, Zavala or something just went over how much stopping the house of wolves or oryx actually did save our asses would that do something? you have trailers and cutscenes on yt but i think hearing it out the horses mouth aught to be more convincing
Yeah, it definitely plays a part. Especially since she's been around for so long. For a very long time, she also didn't have much clear lore either so people projected their HCs on her and then when it turned out they were wrong, it didn't sit right with them. Forsaken dropped a lot of Awoken lore that we've never seen before and especially a lot of Mara lore. If you've spent 4 years figuring out Mara's character and then canon said you were entirely off the mark, I can see how it could cause friction.
Another issue with Mara is that she is a very internal character. This is the problem with her in cutscenes. You see one thing, but real Mara is something completely different. She's cultivated a persona of a Queen for many reasons, but privately she tends to act differently. And then internally, when you can actually see her thoughts, it's often even more of a difference. It's very hard to present a character like that. Most people will only (understandably) see the cutscenes, not read entire Marasenna. There are other characters largely misunderstood by the fandom because of the same issue, one example being Osiris.
I think it would be great if more stuff was reiterated in both lore books and voice lines, as it is now. Season of the Haunted is particularly good at this. For example, you could've seen the Zavala and Safiyah cutscene and get the idea about what is happening. The same story is told in the lore book Triage, but in greater detail. However, if someone only watches the cutscene, they will still get the same basic information. A lot of stuff is also repeated in other voice lines and conversations between characters. It's definitely the best to handle stuff like that.

hiiii i hope you don't mind me appearing in your inbox again haha. it's six of crows/descendants anon!! i'm rewatching d1 and enjoying it so much that i had to tell someone, and none of my friends really like it, so. the VKs are so young and babie in this one, it's insane, i love them so much!! i'd forgotten how much fun the movie is; i really am having the time of my life here!
Hi Anon! I don’t mind at all, no worries! <3 D1 is the absolute best Descendants movie (as much as I have a soft spot for D2). The VKs are so VERY young and baby in it, it’s true!! Fighty kittens dajkgdjkg. I’m so glad you’re rewatching D1 and reliving the magic hehe. It truly never gets old. I need to go back and rewatch at least once a year. The second the first song starts, I get all the warm fuzzies. You’re certainly always welcome to share your Descendants love in my ask box! I’m intensely hyperfixated on the Crows right now, but I haven’t forgotten my roots lmao. I’ll always love Descendants and my VK babies. <3<3

sorry if you've been asked this before but what are your thoughts on indigo? do you like it? personally it's my favorite solo album so far, i'm curious what you think!
My thoughts on Indigo... First, no one has asked me, and it's cute that you think people are lining up to get my opinion haha. Second, it's a good album, though probably not my kind of album. I still prefer D-Day, despite my complaints, because it's so much more my style and I much prefer Suga's rapping and lyricism to RM's. Suga's best songs are more touching and/or interesting, and/or exciting, and I listen to them more, than RM's best tracks.
I was probably a bit harsh at first because I like Suga's hard-hitting songs and still believe that D-Day and Huh?! are not it, but there are still many good songs in the album. If you think of the epicness of Agust D and the more subtle brilliance of D2, and how different those two were, than D-Day is too much like D2, yet also lacking the freshness and variety it had. But I still prefer it to Indigo. As for my thoughts on Indigo, you'll find them on my Indigo tag! I have at least two posts with lots of hot takes lmao. I'm on mobile so it's hard to link the posts, but I'll do it when I get home!
Thanks for the ask!! I talked more about D-Day than Indigo but that's because I'm a Suga girl haha. Indigo came out a while back so I can't remember what I thought in detail. But it's there on my posts, promise!
Edit: Links! I was really positive from the beginning for someone who never likes anything lmao.
Find my thoughts here (read them in order!) : x x x x

i used vividseats for the second skz concert in LA and everything went well! i wasn't very sure at first either bc i'm not from the us and got the tickets for d1 on ticketmaster and was trying to get them there for d2 too since i didn't wanna get scammed lol, but i heard everyone talking about seatgeek and vividseats and decided to give it a go since the prices were so much cheaper than they were on ticketmaster.
the prices were the same as in seatgeek and i'm actually pretty sure the seats they were selling were the same lmao like they're connected or smth. i was buying them on seatgeek first but it wouldn't let me complete the purchase bc i wasn't from the us or something like that, and vividseats didn't have that problem so i could just use my credit card and that was it. i got an email right after to validate the transference of the tickets from the reseller into my acc and once that was done i immediately got the tickets emailed and they were showing on my ticketmaster page and had no problems entering the venue the next day 🥰
oh thank youuuu them being connected actually makes a lot of sense. anon i hope u come back and see this !

Are there any cool deleted TMD scenes that you wish had been included in the movie?
EVERYTHING IN THIS GIFSET. esp the connie/guy helmet kiss. also!! other stuff under a cut because i ramble
other than the (confirmed) deleted scenes, i would’ve liked to see some of the storylines that were a thing in the earlier drafts of the scripts. like, charlie’s blatant abandonment issues because of his dad (and how he compared bombay to him). more of fulton’s identity crisis! they hinted at it in d3, but it didn’t go anywhere beyond “who am i now (without portman here)?” and thinking he isn't good enough. they should’ve stuck to the original draft where he scored the final goal instead of goldberg tbh. esp because goldberg didn’t do shit to earn it other than try to sabotage his teammate...
also connie & julie bonding in d2! we were robbed. and i’ve mentioned before how adam and julie were romantically involved – i don’t necessarily want to see that, but i would’ve loved to see the scenes of them talking about their mutual love of hockey and where she helps take care of his wrist. i feel like julie kind of got fucked over in terms of screentime. i understand not wanting to showcase her talents until the very end, but she should’ve had more focus (like goldberg in d3, who - despite not being the starter - got a shit load of screen time. even tho his character development was trash). also, more about russ’ fears about losing his scholarship. that was an entire arc in the OG d3 script. as was linda’s activism!! i get it, it’s (not even) a two-hour movie and they didn’t have time. but a lot of storylines in d3 were “started” only to never be brought up again… such a waste imo. 
AND, because i am nothing if not predictable, i really would’ve loved to see all of jesse’s scenes they cut out of the OG d2 script. the one where he calls out a security guard for racial profiling, or the one where he fires back at stahl by speaking icelandic lmao. imagine learning another language just to talk trash… he did that! ofc would’ve loved to see even more of charlie & jesse’s ~coparenting. it was really them versus bombay in the OG script. i do think d2 (the movie) subtly hints at it but now knowing that there was more, i wish we could've seen it!
the OG d1 script that's available to read (titled 'bombay') is too different from the actual d1 movie so i can't really think of scenes there that would still make sense to include with the characters we know. tho i do like that one of the few things they kept in is the fact that jesse and banks were rivals. written in the stars since day one!!! but i digress.
