#yes I will find a way to watch it still

[secondbeatsongs]

the spirit is willing (I really should just chill out for half a second before making purchasing decisions) but the flesh (god I love sharks so much) is so (the Sharknado remaster was only released on blu-ray in germany! america only got the dvd release, which is criminal, but the internet exists and so you can just buy things from germany now, and-) so weak

#personal #sharknado #yes #yes I did order the 10th anniversary ''more sharks - more 'nado'' cut on blu-ray #no it will not be playable on my blu-ray player #yes I will find a way to watch it still #I know it's possible and I'm going to do it #help #this will not be the first time I spend this amount of money on something Sharknado-related #last time it was arguably worse of me #but in my defense #I was helping a writer during the writer's strike

I've been reading the Percy Jackson books for the first time over the past two weeks! Just finished "The Battle of the Labyrinth" last night (which btw is my favorite of the series so far!!)

I have now gained a new obsession but it might not be what you think

#like i swear to god i did not expect to be absolutely enthralled by the protagonist's mom kahskahfjkaja #she's just so fascinating to me #she's so kind and smart and she has given EVERYTHING for her son okay #like her staying married to an abuser for years to protect him omg she deserves the world #like when Poseidon called her a queen in the first book he was 100% right alright she is a queen #the woman murdered her abuser with a monster's head LIKE THAT'S SO AWESOME #also i cannot explain how obsessed i am with her relationship with Poseidon okay #like. do i want her to still have feelings for him? yes. do i need poseidon to pine and long for her from the distance?? ABSOLUTELY YES. #like realistically it's more likely that be does not but I need it okay #like at first i wanted them to be reunited because you know. of course i did. #but i am perfectly content with her finding love and happiness with a mortal man and Poseidon pining for her from the distance #like listen. this woman is amazing and she deserves to have an immortal all powerful god unable to get over her alright SHE DESERVES IT #but the way he just showed up at Percy's birthday party and called her as beautiful as ever????? omg??? BECAUSE YES SHE IS #and she blushed??? be still my beating heart #kahskahfksja honestly laughing at myself right now like I'm just over here watching a Sally Jackson tele novela in my head #AND HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE #percy jackson #no spoilers please if you see this post i know very little about the story and I'm thoroughly enjoying myself that way #also jsut as an fyi i am also a little obsessed with Percy and Annabeth kajakshdjshsha they are too cute and intense #sally jackson #percy jackson and the olympians

the fact that we will get a movie with Adam N as Jesus----

i can't stop thinking about it, this makes me so damn insane kshdisgdjdbd. so i have a little sketch! it might be fun i think

#i hope that they'll save his long hair as it was in Red Rose #and even if he only gets five minutes of screen time i still can't wait to see it #i mean yes sir this really a good role for you thank u for your service #like ginger jesus! ginger jesus! ginger jesus! #(i don't know it might be fun) #(imdb better not lie about this) #also this will be my reward #for not being able to find a way to watch jesus cries (goddamn kinky modern retelling) movie with sabin tambrea for years #oh god what a person i would become if i could watch both #adam nagaitis #the terror #cornelius hickey #(tagging these too because i just wanna more people to know about adam jesus nagaitis) #maybe i said too much in the tags #so sorry but sometimes religious trauma turns into something whatever the hell is it

I don't think I've mentioned how much I love Dan Fielding yet today, so: I love him I love him I love him

#yes he's the worst yes he's my baby boy yes he's everything so what #Harry just sprayed him with a water gun #and he's feeling bad about accidentally doing something bad and illegal #sweet sweet baby boy. trying to weasel his way out of it. so egoistic and so shitty. I've never loved anyone more #it's fascinating that I have a hard time liking morally grey characters but this awful little dumbass is just fine #awww he's just a scared little baby I wanna protect him so bad #← well I'm sure that has nothing to do with it #night court #dan fielding #oh it's gonna be fun watching this show back when this is over. will I want to punch him or will I still like him? I'm looking forward to #finding out lol

#these are just some thoughts re: friendship as a result of tonight that i need to jot down somewhere but #realising that i really do have a strict and set idea of Good Friend(ship) and what that entails to me #and id written people off bc i wasn't yk ~receiving love or friendship the way id prefer and i was angry with them for that/hurt about it #did i communicate that to them though? nooo. was i fully right in that? also no. like just bc i felt unheard didn't fully mean #that they were doing something wrong. they were trying in their own way (and sometimes they weren't really or it just wasn't nice) #but that's about how we match and how we communicate right? this is so silly that's so basic but it never fully clicked for me like this #i was blaming them for stuff and building up resentment without ever expressing that (and i still haven't yk dhshsjd) #and i think where i went ~wrong was in thinking that bc i felt that way they weren't ~giving me what i need #when it's like... but did i pick up on the ways in which they DID appreciate me and show me love etc? did i give them ANYTHING to work with? #(ok yes occasionally but also... tangent but i was watching a variety show and they were teasing woozi about how #he gives interviewers/hosts literally nothing to work with. like no extra information for them to ask about or tease him for or anything #and i was like ohhhhhh. yeah i do do that sometimes with friends and it's genuinely smth i don't really know how to do like #giving casual information (but not too much and not too little???) so they can then ask questions etc. so then if im like ughh #they never ask (the right) questions or show interest (or let me talk but that's a different thing dhsjdjd) it's like... #well do i give them the chance to? much to think about thank you woozi) #anyways where was i dhsjsnsnsjns idk but it's soooo annoying that i haven't figured this all out yet #but im slowly letting go off a bunch of resentment that has truly no business being here and im trying to self reflect and all that #and im honestly doing so shit some days but others days it's? finding stuff that matters to me on a deeper level ig? #and all of it really does pale in the face of multiple genocides and it's. but yk. if i want to keep fighting #i need to build a strong foundation and sort my shit out as well and be present so im really really trying #and beating my stupid stupid depression and brain with a stick until i get there

Me connecting invisible dots that weren’t meant to be connected at all: Maybe another reason Sokka is really firm towards Iroh when he asks for help to save Zuko from Azula in BSS is because Iroh had pointed out to Yue that she had been ‘touched by the moon spirit’, to which was the catalyst of Yue sacrificing herself to give that life back. While Sokka hates to think of his sister or family or new friends dying because of the loss of the moon spirit, he still lost Yue, and there’s a part of him in his young heart that resents Iroh for bringing up Yue’s gift, because it was the moment that led to his loss of her.

#atla meta #Me? Still on the train regarding Iroh's presence and his connections to Yue's sacrifice? #ye #also this is NOT!!!! meant to be any kind of anti reading #especially not towards Sokka #once Iroh brought up that she had some of the moon spirit's life in her #she made her choice #and all Sokka could do was watch #the idea guy couldn't come up with a way to prevent losing her #because there was no time #I can imagine later at the White Lotus camp Sokka finally talks to Iroh about it and Iroh acknowledges Yue's sacrifice #she was braver than Iroh could ever hope to be #and Sokka was a lucky guy to have known the love of a girl so willing to lay down her life to spare the world of a nasty fate #and Iroh apologizes to Sokka personally for everything #for everything Iroh and his family put Sokka through by damaging his own family and tribe and life #lmao I'm rambling again but sdjfksdjf when I find little moments like this that tie two characters together I just #skdjflsdkjsf

#thief the dark project #thief 2 the metal age #yes the origins of the mechanists and city watch are fully explained #as well as the origins of the trickster and the nature of the eye #and the world's predisposition to forming citystates rather than nations and the fall of the precursors #also sorry Deadly Shadows the Keepers are not jedi and are a young Order compared to the Hammerites #go find a different series to inject your starwars fanfiction into #(I love Deadly Shadows by the way but it goes far beyond butchering the Thief story it's outright not even the same setting) #read the botany book by Constantine's bed and then play The Cathedral by the way #the nobility and barony and spiritual realm still arent fully explained though. Thief 2 Gold i miss you so much you wouldve given us it all #(T2G wouldve let us explore a noble university and the tower of the banished Hand Brotherhood acolyte) #(and also wouldve given us the actual version of Karras' story instead of the sudden ending) #Thief 3 wouldve been insane. Can you imagine the fall of the Barony and the City changing hands as the digital era approaches #oh yeah Thief is a post-electrical revolution modern setting with analogue electronics and advanced medicine didnt you know that? #you just don't see firearms often because there was little demand for them in the City compared to more versatile bows. but theyre there #theyre just used more for field and naval battle. the City is too cramped and winding for them to be effective #and there hasnt been the demand to lead to the development of advanced loading mechanisms #due to the fortification-centric nature of infrastructure (due to REDACTED) premodern structures arent torn down just reinforced with steel #yes you learn all of this if you actually play the games all the way through. the opening levels of T1 are bait and switch #portraying the world as primitive and backwards as seen through garrett's eyes #dont get me started on garrett's full character. play Ambush! and really look through his apartment

things i love on the good place: how “eleanor, find chidi” can be understood as a series mission statement and not just a practical instruction 

#the good place #see also: there is no answer but eleanor is the answer #what DO we owe to each other you know? #and how do we grow when we find the people who show us new ways to be better versions of ourselves #yes i am watching the finale of s1 again and i am still gonna write about it fuck it we could use some fun

my personal Media Genres tier ranking and also Neopets Species tiers. put together in the same post just due to being adjacently related because they're on the same website lol

links to the specific tier makers: Media Genres --- Neopets

#(might have to right click open image in new tab to zoom and see some of them. tumblr always makes screenshots tiny) #Also I think this is why I have trouble finding things to watch/just don't watch media very often since I'm so so so hyper specific and #particular that I just end up disliking or neutrally not caring about like.. SO MANY things ghfg #Even being aware of my particular-ness I was still surprised to see how many were in the 'dislike' and 'not care' categories lol #Also it is so so so hard being an Action and Romance genre hater YET being a Fantasy and Historical genre lover ghhjb #EVERY fantasy story is also an action romance.. every historical story is a romance.. ouch oof taking psychic damage always #KIND of like how I LOOOOVE point and click mystery puzzle games but I also generally dislike the horror genre #but many point and click puzzle games I used to see would have horror elements or be 'scary' in some way #and it's like HHRgghh.. I just want to navigate a creepy old dilapidated mansion collecting secret codes from books but NOT in a scary way! #just like I want fantasy & historical content but NOT in an action romance way!! #Also.. NEOPETS.. I think my two favorites are both one of the most common choices and also one of the least lol #like EVERYONE loves aishas pretty much. I think they even won a favorite neopets poll on tumblr. But then nobody talks about vandagyres #or even cares about them (seemingly) and they have like so few clothes or good options because they're just irrelevant apparently #also I know it seems very uncharacteristic for the neopet that's basically A Cat to not be in my favorites but I just gjhjhbj #the eyebrows of the wocky bother me. it doesn't match everything else. Even in different paintrbsuh colors it will be #nice and cohesive and pastel or something and then two big dark lines. I aesthetically love thick dark eyebrows on people it just looks wei #rd on a cartoon cat. ANYWAY.. fun to think about #I love ranking things always #also curious to know if anyone has similar opinions... my fellow vandagyre lovers.. and action movie haters.. cutthroat kitchen fans.. :0c #AND as someone tired of romance in general & ESPECIALLY cardboard cutout cishet romances. yes I would of course like to see more lgbtq+ #stories in media etc. The genre is just not placed higher because so much seems to be Modern Young Adult Romance which of course I hate #those themes lol.. We need some drama comedies with a cast of gay 300yr old elves in victorian costume. please.. ghjgj.. (and like ACTUAL #300 yr olds. NOT 'is immortal bt still acts like an irrational 15yr old bc plot'. what abt jaded eccentric elder romance? hmM? lol) ANYWAY #always manifesting a 'high fantasy historical mystery comedy drama satire psychological character study (with vampires)' into existence lol #if I could make a tv show set in my world... the sheer power I would have.. and nobody would watch it because it would have NO action or #romance (at least none that was serious/was not framed as lame/goofy/comedic) & would have intricate complicated worldbuilding and be very #VERY broadly unmarketable.. but I would finally have a show that meets my tastes lol

I continue to be in awe by the power granted to me by having learned to read scientific papers.

#it took fucking FOREVER and sucked so bad for like the first year but wow i can learn so much stuff now! #i still can't understand all of them because i am an ecologist and don't have the background for other fields but usually #i can at least get the gist and a few important details out of all but the most dense ones #anyways i find it reassuring that i can read medical papers about things that are relevant to me and see what the experts are #saying about it when they think no one outside their field is watching #sometimes the data matters more than whatever they say in the 'translated for public knowledge' version or even contradicts it #would doctors be pissed to know i can do this? probably! #yes i am aware of the risks of taking information out of context that i lack the background to understand #but i'll take it anyways because i need a way to reclaim some power in the fucked up mess that is #the imbalance of power between medical professionals and their patients #hylian rambles

#yes the last ep ruined me #and yes I snuck in watching it before work bc I couldn’t physically wait #their whole confession and nozue’s monologue was so so so beautiful #one of my fave confessions ever #but this is not just a beautiful line #but made all the better bc of the context of the show #and how they both want to find that pure innocent child like happiness in life #and how Nozue has gone from someone so stuck in his way to now someone going for new opportunities #and about how age is nothing it doesn’t matter #even at an age like theirs they can still find a happiness they’ve yet to experience #it’s just beautiful #old fashion cupcake

[wolves-etc]

thoughts on The Last Of Us episode seven, largely in the order I had them:

[thoughts on: 1.1 | 1.2 | 1.3 | 1.4 | 1.5 | 1.6 | X | 1.8 | 1.9]

— it took me a while to realise that the shapes at the end of the credits are ellie and joel. it's grim - two figures, alone, growing out of this infested world.

— she can't be actually about to leave joel?? splitting them up at this point isn't allowed, what the shit

(unless she can get there and back quickly enough to bring him medical attention in which yes please)

— first glimpse of the military school!! it's a little odd to realise she had more access to music than joel did. I can't quite remember ellie's first mention of her friend, either - it might've been the first episode?

— did not expect a dressing down in a military school to begin with "what's going on?", gently spoken

— captain kwong I actually really like you. he's an inherently manipulative bastard and I don't trust him but this is another adult talking to ellie honestly and giving her options rather than just making decisions for her, and it's nice to see, in a messed up way.

— and ellie's also not scared of him - or she doesn't look scared. she did tell sam that thing about being scared all the time and I don't think that was a joke. not cowed by him, then. and okay, maybe it's on purpose, maybe he's deliberately avoiding crushing her spirit because they don't just need grunts, they need officers too - but he's still not crushing her spirit entirely, and it's a relief.

— …he really believes they're what's holding civilisation together, too. he's genuinely scared and doing what he can to try to keep things going.

(and still, he has to know that there are abuses of power under a military dictatorship. he has to know, and he's justifying them, because he believes the work they do is that important. I really don't agree with him but I sort of don't know where exactly to fault him on his reasoning, and that's chilling.)

((and I'm doing a LOT of speculating about a character we only see briefly, when he's manipulating a teenager for the cause. but still.))

— gosh, I know ellie got culture shock looking through the teenager's bedroom in jackson, but this is such a normal teenage bedroom too. I mean, almost. one with the vibe of a cell or a ward. but we get a glimpse of everything up on the walls, the drawing of the dinosaur, the mortal kombat poster.

— okay an awful thought is occurring to me. I had to look up transcripts to double-check what ellie said about her friend first: when ellie calls marlene a terrorist, marlene says "was riley a terrorist?" and the past tense there and ellie's expression both felt... significant.

so we can guess her friend died tragically. we know ellie killed someone and doesn't want to talk about it. and it's awful, it's so awful, but if she had to kill a friend who got infected, that could answer it. and it'd add extra angst to her trying and failing to save sam, too - because hey, she didn't even know to try before, maybe she can manage it this time! and then she can't.

— OH GOOD, RILEY'S A SHITHEAD TOO

— she has a good grin.

— "turn around." "you're so weird about that." <3

— uh oh this doesn't bode well

— okay maybe it bodes fine. is it even a girls' night out if they don't see a corpse and have a laugh about it

— ellie and riley are bad influences on each other and also very cute

— riley I've known you for five minutes and I know you should be smart enough not to go into a mall that's only allegedly full of infected. "if it's sealed off then why isn't it sealed off" THE CEILING CAVING IN DOESN'T MEAN THEY WERE LYING about this specific thing at least

— the moment riley said they were on a mission I just. sigh. nonzero chance this is an actual firefly mission.

…fuck, is this gonna be where they both get bitten

— you know, ellie cutting and killing that infected in the cellar where joel stopped to pick up a cache of supplies? that makes much more sense if it was revenge for riley's death. because she hasn't been quite that brutal since. but like, the chance to safely look into the face of the thing that should have killed her, that killed her friend, and get to know it a bit, then quietly regain some of the control she lost? that makes sense.

— …riley directing her into place so she can watch as the mall flickers to life, oh gosh. oh that's beautiful.

— THE FOUR FIVE WONDERS OF THE MALL. STARTING WITH ELECTRIC STAIRS. OH GOSH.

they're so gonna end up at the arcade.

— shoutout to whoever took the time to put lipstick on a glasses advert when the world locked down

— and dawn of the wolf part 2 is definitely a twilight movie equivalent

— environmental storytelling </3

— you know when you feel deep fondness but also your heart breaking a little but it's not sad, it might not even be bittersweet but that's the closest match? yeah. ellie checking her reflection in the victoria's secret window.

— hi this scene is just so soft and so pretty and so sweetly ow

— ARCADE TIME, I KNEW IT

— "you asshole." "yeah, I'm the same asshole that spent an hour yesterday breaking this fucker open." okay riley put so much effort into that night oh heck

— I'M SORRY THE MILEENA VORE IS AN ACTUAL THING. SHE ACTUALLY BARFS BONES. why am I even surprised

— can the camera not zoom out ominously please. this is sweet this is fun let's not do this right now

— ellie's attempt at a goodbye that was also an "I don't like you enough to leave the school and join the fireflies with you," but they both know that, it's not a surprise, fuckin' ouch

— "how does a computer get drunk? it takes screenshots." "what are screenshots?" "I don't actually know."

— (listen I used to write in what was technically a postapoc setting, though the worldbuilding was crap so we mostly ignored that, so I keep wanting to go back and incorporate ideas, it's terrible.)

— riley crashing at that mall with at least one ticking timebomb just chilling in one of the shops, turning the lights on and playing loud games multiple times, I really really don't like this

— oh this hurts. it was set in stone from the start but it still hurts.

— OH SHIT MAYBE NOT. fake screams wtf that's mean, show.

— "maybe the fireflies aren't what I think they are but they chose me. I matter to them." "you mattered to me first." heY OW

— seriously these are baller lines. these lines alone I could see people going feral over. this is the good angst that people write fics about.

— do they have to have this incredibly cute dance party in a shop with lots of faces and figures in the background while we know there's an infected in the mall, please I am suffering

— oh they're so cute and also so doomed

— we still don't know who ellie killed.

— "we can just be all poetic and shit and lose our minds together." yeah, I mean, ideally you could, that's a really sweet and tragic sentiment-

— present-day ellie? is a fucking badass. and I say that not to negate the fact that she's a scared kid trying to keep her caregiver alive, but rather because she's a scared kid and she doesn't know what to do and she's trying even though it's so, so hard.

— the face of someone who's not gonna lose him too.

#longer one this time! #the last of us hbo #the last of us spoilers #tlou spoilers #angst tag #orig #I find ellie and riley a little complicated and I think because it's a kinda grown-up story? #a very real messy thing that a relationship can be asymmetrical (to whatever degree and in whatever ways) and still have love there #and so much love really. #I'm kind of bad at recognising/understanding romance so I don't wanna comment more than that #but gosh they were sweet and gosh that hurt #also yes I am in fact a little smug looking back at some of my guesses now I have more information #perks of taking several hours to watch each episode (and the show being well-written tbqh)
