Sometimes I wonder how folks be blasting through the Unholy Boards when it comes to them asking for very hard to get items such as Advanced candies or pies. These items are limited for purchase weekly and they ask for like 5 of them on one node and 8 on the next so that's 13 candies. The allotted amount for purchase is at most 3 per week.

So how are some of the boards cleared unless you already had tons of candies saved up? That has to be the only thing because I see no other way to get that many in such a short time.

I essentially have to wait for maybe another week or two before I am able to unlock that node. 😔

Thinking thoughts about Abuela being back and with this backstory about her being taken in by charlatans and Eddies whole catholic guilt thing and how the two things kind of play into one another as an exploration of faith and being taken in by something.

Abuela giving all her money to the tarot card readers etc because she was searching for something - for connection (with Abuelo) - trying to recapture what she had lost, and How Eddie has spoken about trying to re-find the magic he had with Shannon - how Eddie hasn't actually fully reconciled the Shannon of it all when it comes to relationships and how his Catholic guilt connects into that.

How Marisol as a physical representation of Catholicism is part of that narrative - how Eddie is entering a place where he has to chose his path - in order to move on from Shannon he needs to fully square the hole - catholic or non catholic. And how that needs to happen first - before he can begin his queer journey!

#this is so incoherant #I'm also thinking about how Marisol fits into this narrative and how this idea of being taken in or fooled by a person plays into what we #know of her - how she wasn't upfront with Eddie (not saying she had to be right from the off but before moving in!!!) - how she is kind of #representative of secrets - especially around faith and ones connection with faith because she is essentially a stand in for catholicism #which (sorry to all the catholics out there) peddles in magic and secrets in order to keep the mystery of faith alive and therefore keep #people believing. How Eddie's reckoning with himself and the ghost of Shannon ultimately means choosing either to follow the path of #catholicism or non catholicism #How Marisol is a tie to religion and therefore his reasons for not having successful relationships after her (or even with her) and how #Eddie letting go will ultimately mean letting go of Marisol - how he can never fully move forward while catholicism still lingers #how I don't' think we'll be seeing the queer aspect of this narrative this season - that dealing with this first part is key and only once #he has figured it out can he then be free to know himself - is true self better - and accept and move into his full self as a queer man #so yeah - catholic guilt arc 7b and 8a - as its really a two parter - finally dealing with the remnants of Shannon - and its connection wit #his faith and then when truly free of that exploring his queerness! #So yeah - Marisol will possibly be here until towards the end of the season because she is meant to be the trigger point for Eddie in #relation to Shannon - its why they made the difference (and similarities) between S and M very obvious in 7x01 #they have the time to build this story arc more fully now with the s8 renewal - to do it justice and unfortunately as part of that it means #she'll probably be around longer than any of us would like! #I don't know if I even make sense at this point #but I do want to reitterate that the show is goig out of its way to contrast her with Buck as well #to really show how close and right for each other Buck and Eddie are so no one needs to panic - she's here for the narrative not forever! #911 abc #911 spoilers #eddie diaz

why would you put key plot information that viewers will need to know for s5 in a fucking *play* that very few fans are gonna have access to and the GA doesn’t have any idea exists

#this play is dumb i said what i said #if you have a mega successful franchise tv show #n you put backstory/a key part of the plot in a *play* #then maybe you just suck at mapping out a storyline #stranger things

Your nongertling self portrait is so funny to me for some reason. I look at that drawing and I feel like if you were in a cartoon you would be the most unhinged short tempered character even though you seem chill

thank you

#i'm both! #its me #doodle #i complain all the time because i really am a hater... but i'm pretty self-aware of this and try to take steps to balance that out #often i am not successful but you see. what is key is not letting the hater energies consume you #and having love in your heart #which i always forget i do until i go outside and get emotional about people hanging out in the park

okay i think i’m alone in my shiv take LOL i’m going to hush up for a while and see what people are saying and think on the ending some but right now i just… do not understand the last 30 or so minutes from shiv’s perspective and the last 10 are downright baffling. trying very hard not to feel like succession just 180’d everything that’s been good about the shiv writing this season (and in general but esp this season) but every time i think ab the last tomshiv scene my stomach turns grotesquely

#literally the one thing they could’ve done to make me feel :/ on tomshiv #like maybe i just need to think on it some but the decisions shiv made re: tom/matsson but esp tom made 0 sense to me #just did not make sense as things she of all people would do #shiv’s key motivation has never been power it has been RESPECT. time and time again she has fucked up possibilities for power because she’s #felt disrespected. so why exactly did she- ok yknow what no i’m gonna sleep on it. i’ll talk later #don’t wanna say anything dumb #but. seemed like they wanted to make a point with shiv so bad they forgot her fundamental fear: not being respected or taken seriously #and boy oh boy did she willingly subject herself to the most devastating respect-less fate conceivable: trophy wife to the man who fucked #you over twice in a row and ended up being CEO despite that being the job you wanted and were somewhat supposed to get your entire life #and literally TWO SECONDS after the betrayal too. immediately going back to him #bizarre and very unshiv. she would rather die than publicly subject herself to that specific form of humiliation and interpersonal #powerlessness #ok i’ll shut up. agh #of all the things i feared in the finale this wasn’t even one #oyyyy vey #succession #succession spoilers #casey shut the fuck up about shiv roy

Listen, although I do find it pretty exciting to see Kendall entering his Evil Era and actually becoming a killer, I can’t stop thinking about the consequences of him leaking all the shitty mud information they have on Logan. Like yeah, PR-wise that might be a great idea, it might actually solidify his position as a CEO (and he is obviously going to try and fuck up Matsson deal and take over the Waystar - I don’t know why he would want to captain the fucking sinking Titanic, but okay). But on the other hand, all the dirt coming out about Logan will be potentially catastrophic for Roman. Apart from the fact that Kendall is very clearly betraying his brother, literally like 5 seconds after he preached about them being a team; Roman will very likely suffer the most if stuff about Logan being an abusive father comes out.

First, it will flip his whole viewpoint upside down - he is so deep in denial and so trauma-bonded to Logan that he doesn’t even acknowledge his abuse, not even when in happens in real time. He doesn’t want to see his father as a monster and as his abuser, because that would actually require him to accept that he was a victim, that he was this beaten dog that everyone already sees him as (to one degree or another). Not to mention all the lies he tells himself about Logan and him being a good dad will go straight down the drain, and can you imagine what happens when something you believed for 40-or-so years cracks down in front of you? Kendall is about to break his reality.

Another aspect is that exposing Roman’s abuse to the whole world will likely destroy any and all opportunities that Roman ever had when it comes to rising to power (even if I’m unsure how much he actually cares about becoming a CEO). He might get some sympathy points, although I very much doubt that he will ever accept that form of pity from anyone. His image will be forever tainted and solidified as “the abused one” or the “one that was hit by his dad”. Can you imagine Roman’s reaction when that whole shitshow leaks? He does say at some point in the preview that he is finished, and although it might allude to Gerri putting out the whole dick pic situation, it might also very well be that his public image will forever now revolve around how his dad hit and abused him (his dad who was essentially his god in more than one way, who he was, and is trauma bonded to, who he came back to time and time again).

Kendall has a tendency of using his siblings trauma to forward his own position (even when he wanted to one up Logan in episode 2 by bringing up Roman’s and Connor’s trauma) and this is no different. But it’s a very easy way for him to blow up whatever alliance was ever between sibs. So yeah, I think Kendall as a killer is a great thing to watch, but also… well, Roman girl in me is already screaming in the void from the possible pain we might come to watch unravel in real time.

#succession #roman roy #like my boy might be delusional about pre-greving or whatever #but the fact is that he is for some real mental breakdown #if all the emotions and everything comes down on him like a ton of bricks #and lets not forget that Roman is innately incapable of actually dealing with his own emotions #everything he feels or might potentially feel gets locked up in a cage (hah) and the key gets immediately thrown out #he retreats into himself just to not feel stuff that might break him #not to mention that I was very carefully watching him for past 2 episodes #and just going by his breathing patterns (yes I know insanity of a fan) #but Roman seems to be constantly on the verge of a panic attack #so imagine what will happen when he will be aggressively confronted with all the shit he doesn’t want to face or acknowledge #im torn between obv not wanting it for him #but I also strive on my favourite characters being in pain #and i have not seen roman breakdown yet #and im actually a bit hungry for it #so yeah #kendall is a killer and his brother might very well be his new victim #(hopefully not in a literal sense I don’t fucking want any deaths im also not emotionally equipped for that) #succession hbo #kendall roy #kieran culkin #succession 4x04 #succession season 4 #marta rumbles poetically #succession spoilers

one of my favorite things about apocalypse keys is last session one of my players hit a point where the rules said “one of two bad things happen to your character” and she said “... can both bad things happen?” and i said “you know what? sure!” because it’s the kind of game where even when your characters are in peril, having a bad time, in a bad place, it’s still fun to play, and sometimes when your characters lose, it’s actually more fun than if they’d done perfectly

#posts by me #ttrpg #apocalypse keys #i think a lot of mainstream ttrpgs - or at least the culture around them - fail to make losing fun #when imo the point is even if the characters are in peril the players should still have fun telling stories about those characters in peril #i think when checks are either 'you get what you want or you don't' you can fall into that trap of not making failure fun #and i think a lot of pbta games - apocalypse keys included! - do a really good job at making both failure and success engaging

Thinking abt the Mishima household when Kazuya and Lee were growing up like imagine your father kills your mother then throws you off a cliff and you haul yourself back up and vow to kill him but you're too weak rn and you still live under his roof and are still his son and he trains you ruthlessly and you're thirteen and burning with hatred too big for your barely-teen body and then he adopts a boy close to your age and it's clear what he's doing this boy is only here to threaten your status as heir to the Zaibatsu this boy isn't even given the Mishima family name and your father (and you) call him by his surname because although he learns the fighting style and learns the business he'll never be Heihachi's blood son, and by all accounts you shouldn't hate him it's not his fault he was adopted but you do hate him and he quickly realises what kind of household he lives in now and he grows to hate you too but neither of you hate the other as much as you hate your father and so maybe sometimes you'll smoke together after having bloodied your knuckles from beating each other bruised in training because beneath the rivalry and resentment is someone who gets it, who knows what it's like living on these grounds, who you don't need to keep up false pretences for because the shadow looming over the two of you is the same

#tekken #lee chaolan #kazuya mishima #magic-magpie #Meta #Sorry I just have Thoughts about this family #Can you tell I watch Succession #Sorry for any inaccuracies I haven't acc played any Tekkens aside from T7 #And I also only vaguely know the lore #Just what I've absorbed from the Gallery and the wiki really #Anyway I acc really enjoy the concept of Kazuya and Lee having this weird dysfunctional kind of alliance #During their time on the Mishima estate #They may hate each other but when you know firsthand how much your father's fists can hurt you can't help but toss a salve over to the othe #Idk I like dysfunction #I was at Waterstones and the cashier recommended me this book called 'The Skeleton Key' #I'm usually dubious abt reccs 'cause I have v specific tastes #But he got me hooked when he said 'Mystery book with a dysfunctional family' afhkjs

even otherwise very likeable people spend too long in the bay area and start telling you that going to rationalist social events is okay

#im not goign to elaborate on what made me make this post. but it did sadden me to experience #now being at *** SHOULD be just as much of a proximity risk factor #but there are three core things that protect me: #1. they mostly go after the undergrads. presumably bc if youre at grad school you've already failed to optimize your life for ai prevention #2. i am an extremely prominent and visible union organizer and it is approximately the only thing anyone knows me for #which im afraid is in fundamental opposition to rationalist ideals‚ sorry #and 3. anytime someone tells me they think any longevity research is good i hoot loudly in mockery until they leave the room. #these key traits are essential to long-term success and well-being and never having to listen to someone sincerely tell you about X risk. #box opener #rationalism extends to EA et al. here and EA is probably the most coherent remaining version. but they'll always be rationalists to me.

Jing Yuan's "It's hard to discard one's past" line during Yukong's mission fell on me with the weight of a tombstone

#It's been several days and I'm still thinking about that line #And the weight it carries when it comes to Jing Yuan himself‚ of course‚ but also Dan Heng and Blade #How the line works for the two of them in opposite ways and yet how it's true in both cases #God I love him so much #Unfair that he isn't my favourite character #He checks all the boxes. The place was carved for him‚ and yet #And yet haha #So often it feels life is but a never-ending flow of carefully crafted expectations‚ goals‚ schemes‚ intentions and objectives #all unravelled by 'and yet' #And so often it feels mastering the 'and yets' is the key to success more than methodically planning #But I am rambling incessantly again #And about unrelated nothingness #I don't know how I always end up doing this ugh #At this point it could be considered my main skill #I talk too much #Sorry if this appears in the general tag for real. I don't know what to do at this point to organise things in my blog #It's over fifteen tags. It shouldn't appear. It used to not appear ugh #Jing Yuan
