Gay people will be like “this is my comfort show!” And then show you the most emotionally devastating, stress-inducing, tragic piece of media you have ever witnessed

I feel like so many problems people have with tv at the moment could be solved if we just went back to the good ole days of 20 episodes a season that’s just sixty percent filler and character development. Give the people what they want- less condensed story and more meaningless shenanigans

You either die a hero (get unfairly cancelled after 1-2 seasons) or live long enough to become the villain (the last season/final is a shit show)

Times I thought “THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN A POLYCULE!!”

And specifically the TTG titans, not any other version, just Teen Titans Go! in particular.

+ Not pictured is April, Sunita, and Cassandra Jones from Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, because I can’t find a frame that includes all three of them 💀

I know Joel being mostly alone in Third Life is largely attributed to him being a loner and not having solid loyalties that season, and yeah, he did spend a lot of time alone willingly, and he was uncertain about his loyalties for most of the season. But I think it's really fascinating to look at the other side of why Joel was so isolated in Third Life;

That being that all the alliances he did form were fundamentally either coercive or conditional, either mutually or from the other end of things.

Joel and Scar were "friends", but their "friendship" was formed with Scar doing what he did best in Third Life- throwing his weight around and asking for something from Scar as a Scary Red Name. It was an alliance based on Joel not wanting to get on the bad side of a red name who was implicitly threatening him (as scar did with most players).

Joel joined Dogwarts briefly, but at the point where Joel joined, Dogwarts had started majorly employing intimidation tactics on the rest of the server, which left Joel in a position where he, again, didn't really have any choice but to just hang the banner and hope for the best.

People talk about his "flighty loyalties" with how he switched between sides, but I'd argue this had less to do with Joel's sense of loyalty and more to do with the coercive tactics that both Scar and Dogwarts liked to use at different points.

Joel had other allies at points. He bonded with Etho a bit. I think Scott and Jimmy both liked him. Cleo and Bdubs were friendly with him after he left Dogwarts. But these were largely very loose bonds, and many of them were conditional on the fact that they happened to be on the "same side".

Yes, Joel's decision to play relatively solo and not commit harder to a side was a lot of the reason he was a "lone wolf" in Third Life, but there was also a massive aspect of isolation from the other end where Joel was used as an easy intimidation target or convenient temporary ally by other players who (intentionally or not), would capitalize on the fact that he was alone to get something out of him, and that would just drive him further into isolation.

Which is something I always thought was fascinating regarding Third Life. Especially considering that, while Joel didn't seem too upset by the isolation in Third Life specifically, I think the fact that it wasn't entirely self imposed is good context for his continued isolation in Last Life, which he took significantly harder.
