#trial performance

growing up with a psychologist for a mother was so funny because my sister and i would be like “mo-om why do we have to go to bed now” and she would respond with a long explanation of the research on the effects of sleep on the brain and body followed by another explanation on permissive vs. authoritarian vs. authoritative parenting styles, with citations

#however this also produced 8-year-olds who performed controlled trials to determine whether or not the tooth fairy was real #an e original

[taking you by the shoulders] game of thrones was never good, seasons 1-4 were only well-liked because they were consistently adapting book material that sometimes felt compelling when they decided not to strip it of its context or accidentally kept the significance of its original impact and themes. the show always had a problem with shock value for the sake of itself and an ultimately shallow motive that directly opposed the books themselves, which rotted the adaption's core; any enjoyable material was a fluke resulting from the efforts of good actors and book-canon, as evidenced by the sharp decrease in quality (or "quality") when the showrunners had to choose between adapting the most thematically rich moments in the series or making a mad dash to their imagined Shocking Twist finish line

#don't lie to yourselves anymore be free #s1 had the littlefinger sex worker monologue and introduced tyrion as some lecherous pleasure focused drunk #s2 butchered the dany in qarth storyline so badly I've blocked most of it from my memory #s3 look how they massacred my girlies cat and robb and brienne #s4 what did you do to oberyn... to the tyrells... to the jaime cersei story arc #(<- credit where it's due at least the tyrion trial monologue fucked severely) #(but what's it matter if they sacrificed tyrion's whole arc and robbed us of dinklage's performance as anything but audience surrogate??) #s5-s8 is self explanatory. #anti got #asoiaf

Look man I just think it’s a shame that Lon Chaney Jr’s horror film debut usually gets cut from the roster.

#also I understand this is the rare pair of all rare pairs #but god I’m fascinated by the potential dynamic of Dan McCormick (the man-made monster) and Frankenstein’s creature #because their fascinating inversions of each other? #like Dan is this good hearted circus performer who’s taken the various tragedies of his life in stride #(from his backstory of being an abused orphan to right when the audience meet him when he’s the sole survivor of a horrific bus crash) #only to get his mind melted when some mad scientist figures out that Dan’s apparently immune to any sort of damage by electric shock #who then takes advantage of said mind-melt to make him kill the only doctor who might have saved him and to turn himself over to the police #go through the entire trial unable to defend himself and then be PUT TO THE ELECTRIC CHAIR #walk out now that he’s juiced up enough on electricity to function #stumble through the woods killing and terrorizing people because he’s physically incapable of touching anything #kill the mad scientist behind it all and then kill himself by draining all the electricity from his body #which all seems just kinda like excellent set up for SOMETHING with the creature #if only because with the creature’s modern electricity thing pairing nicely #with Guy who needs to be charged with deadly amounts of electricity to function #like I don’t have coherent thoughts but it feels like it’s got so many fun opportunities. #my art #man-made monster #universal horror #lon chaney

In DR1, some of Celestia’s free time events have her share stories of high stakes gambling tournaments she’s won. Including a shogi tournament when she didn’t even know how the game is played. She attributes her gambling success to just being born luckier than other people.

Being Celestia is Celestia, grain of salt. She references some pop culture gamblers which could mean she’s stealing these anecdotes from stuff she’s read. Or considering Sakura is dating Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star it could just be another example of Danganronpa being an absurd place.

But say Celestia is telling the truth about all her wins. And that all she does is win because she’s just that lucky.

It’s weird that she wasn’t given the title the ultimate lucky student. She would seem to have multiple examples of actually being lucky.

I suspect that there’s some bias from Hope’s Peak declaring that actually, the luckiest thing is to win a spot in their school.

#danganronpa #danganronpa 1 #more examples of Hope’s Peak’s research coming from bad premises? maybe #gonna be honest #from Celestia’s performance in trials #I don’t think Celestia can attribute her wins to being super analytical or having the best poker face

I wonder whether the Apollo cabin is petty, because everyone else can kinda enjoy the camp life, while Apollo cabin also have to work in the infirmary. You know, on a medical field? A career that takes YEARS of studying?? WITHOUT PAYMENT. Hell they even had a 14 year old attacht LIMBS together, that shit takes so many years of studying and they usually get big ass salary. And Apollo cabin is doing all that for free? Those kiddos deserve better

#Apollo cabin should at least get automatically good shower turns without fighting #GIVE THESE KIDDOS THE PAVEMENT AND RESPECT THEY DESERVE #Like imagine tiny Will Solace getting on the camp and then he just spends his years as a CHILD doctor performing surgeries #He does surgeries that require multiple experts of different fields all by himself!!!! #Give Will Solace some money #Or at least a good as hell CV from this #And the best shower turns #He deserves it #Will solace #The apollo cabin #Percy jackson #Pjo #Trials of apollo

AU where everything is the same but Apollo did allstar cheer before TOA so he can join Meg in her tumbling and cartwheeling on rooftops

#why? because I do allstar cheer #which is like sideline cheer without pom-poms and also competitive #for anyone who hasn’t heard of allstar before #/j #but also /srs #also I could totally see Apollo enjoying the performance aspect of it #and the guy who beat Hermes in a foot race could totally keep up with the high intensity tumbling and dance #alternatively Apollo decides to take it up after his trials after betting Meg that he can learn how to do a cartwheel faster than she did #and then really ends up enjoying it #trials of apollo #lester papadopoulos #pjo hoo toa #please don’t take this seriously #marnie’s posts #riordanverse

Also I hate how there's so little feminist consciousness in the zeitgeist nowadays. Like for the mostpart people have a vague awareness that 'sexism bad' but there's so little ability to actually identify when things are sexist and why. There's so little recognition that misogyny is a genuine force of oppression. And what feminist consciousness does exist is utterly impotent, regardless of the form it takes.

#catgirltxt #like goddamn there is no feminist movement anymore #the metoo movement was i'd say the last big upsurge of feminism (at least in the west) and it's been dead for years #fucking *gestures at johnny depp trial* #what even do we have left #just vague corporate bullshit made to get you to buy product but with a half baked feminist veneer #and the inner goddess feminine energy type nonsense which is the other failstate of liberal feminism #i guess there's a streak of female empowerment type stuff that's emerged from all that recently #but that tends to be pretty bioessentialist and also of the 'performing femininity is empowering' type shit #radical feminism is somewhat prominent nowadays but it's mostly flimsy ideological justification for the anti trans movement #and partially flimsy ideological justification for policies that harm sex workers

ack for some reason your reblogs stopped appearing on my activity feed o.O just noticed you reblogged something from me hours ago and I was so confused

anyways i might as well give milgram thoughts (which is me just rambling) since i'm here!! keep thinking abojt the mahiru and orekoto snippet thign it's judt oh man . . . . i wonder how kazui or yuno would feel about orekoto, not because violence or something, but because he actually speaks up about his opinions and doesn't smile and pretend like everything is fine like mikoto

i mean kazui already has a weird first impression on orekoto if we imagine he did break up the fight between kotoko and orekoto! but orekoto is so much more open about his opinions on stuff that would kazui be like huh maybe I should try to do something like that

and i mean i think yuno already called mikoto out once so it'd be interesting to see her feelings on how orekoto is like so open about everything

AND i know you asked for fuuta thoughts and I'm just rambling about orekoto and his interactions because of that snippet, so I guess I should probably say something about fuuta and orekoto now! honestly i'm not too sure his reaction would be? i can't tell if fuuta would be afraid of orekoto because he's worried he'd get beaten up by him or just general annoyance from how blunt(?) he seems

anyways rambling over yippee!

(My notifs have been glitching too! It makes me so sad -_-)

Ahhh ty pal because YES -- Kazui would have gotten Such a wild first impression omg :0 Hmmm, he and Kotoko probably have a skewed perception of Orekoto because their first experience with him was such a violent one :( Though! If anyone were to see him at his worst and still think highly of him, it's the man that tried to hide his "shameful" true self only to have its presence kill someone...

I loooove the thought of Yuno appreciating his honesty and being like "finally, you stopped people pleasing like we talked about 😌 I'm so happy for you ✨️" I wonder if he'd inspire her to stand up for herself more vocally! Though she was very happy in her profession, it's clear she's made some unfair compromises/sacrifices at times, and I wonder if she'd change her mind on some things after hearing how fiercely he cares for himself. They'd be the take no crap duo of all time 👏

OUGH Fuuta being afraid because he doesn't quite understand his motivations ;--; And you're right, there'd definitely be a lot of jealousy that comes out in the form of annoyance -- Fuuta is so used to watchful eyes and perfect online performances that he can't stand someone who does whatever, whenever. Instead of getting inspired, he doubles down on what he's been conditioned with and Orekoto just pisses him off. (On a different note. I always pictured Fuuta idolizing Kotoko in T1 for her strength and sense of justice, but I wonder if that inner fanboy would transfer over to Orekoto after seeing him match strength with the person that just took his eye...)

#milgram #mikoto kayano #kazui mukuhara #yuno kashiki #fuuta kajiyama #thank you mug!!!! big brained as always im 👀👀👀 #i was thinking about a few interactions but i never considered his and yunos relationship omg #i figured shes too chill to stress out the host so just never sees him adfgghj but i mean theyd meet eventually #theres so much about identities and selves and hiding parts of oneself !!!!! #literally its confirmed that haruka yuno fuuta kazui amane and mikoto all center around performing and lying and hiding #im torn between the angst of fuuta being scared of everyone and pulling away from the others #even when he should be bonding with mikoto over their shared verdicts #and the sappy thought of him looking at kazui and mikoto like 🤩🤩🤩 'they protected me theyre so cool!!!' #i dont know what what im going to do during the trial hiatus and i still have characters living rent free in my mind like this asdfghhj #ask #long post

If I had a nickel for every time there was a man with a fucked up face that had an almost sexual obsession with genital mutilation in the Outlast series, I’d have two nickels

Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

#outlast #outlast whistleblower #outlast trials #officer coyle #eddie gluskin #and they are both my babygirls #they both have some weird ass demented ideas I’m not gonna lie #AND THEY BOTH SING?!? #twinsies #but not really y’know? #honestly they would be besties if they were alive at the same time #my favorite little meow meows #technically Coyle is performing Genital mutilation #except he’s doing it to himself #which still counts

concept: a theatre play in which every show is just one part of the overall story.

the first couple of plays happen normally, with all the same lines and scenes in every one. then something clues one of the characters in to the fact that they have already lived through these events before, but something keeps bringing them back to the beginning.

from this point onwards, the protagonist begins trying everything they can think of to break the time loop, altering the plot of every show in the process & the final performance is the one where they finally succeed.

#idk #i re-listened to all the songs from night series the other day and it got me thinking #theatre performances are all time loops of sorts #the same events are happening to the same people again and again #with them being none the wiser about the trials they're about to face for the nth time #would this be a nightmare to write and produce? yes! #would anyone be realistically able to see it from start to finish? no! #but it sure is fun to imagine #or maybe someone has already made something like this and i am underestimating the unyielding indomitable human spirit
