Something really great about the persona 2 cast is that they all individually fucking SUCK to talk to casually. Every single one of them. They are all infuriating. We have:

Tatsuya, who will stare at you blankly if you try to initiate conversation (IS) and will dip without saying a word afterward (EP)

Batsuya, who will scoff and brush you off/otherwise act dismissive

Eikichi, who might honestly be the best to talk to in the IS crew and that is not saying much, who WILL talk extremely loudly over you (probably not on purpose?) and will not be paying particularly close attention to the conversation beyond whatever he wants to say (gets points for talking about his gf. gets points taken away for constantly talking about his gf)

Lisa, who will automatically assume bad faith and will be rude to you the entire conversation unless you manage to defuse her temper (good luck)

Jun, who is uncommunicative at BEST and requires an encyclopedic knowledge of flowers, metaphor and body language just to get a HINT on what he’s thinking, and who will be extremely polite but completely unhelpful. If you tried asking him what he wants for dinner I guarantee it will be the longest 30 minutes of your life as he goes “oh I have no opinion :) whatever you want. :))” EXCEPT HE DOES HAVE OPINIONS. He has SO MANY OPINIONS. He is Expecting you to be able to pick up on his “obvious” clues. He will be passive aggressive if you don’t. (Jun babygirl you suck so bad I love u)

Maya, who is a delight but will very quickly become grating if you try to talk to her about anything serious as she hits you with the white suburban mom's "how to live a happy, healthy life" lifecoach slogans. You can’t even mention, like, stepping in a puddle or something without her hitting you with the positivity beam.

Yukino is great actually. 10/10. She’s fabulous we love her. Incredible conversationalist, chill and fun and easy to get along with. But she’s from Persona One, she doesn’t Count.

Ulala, who WILL bring up her relationship problems in every conversation within 10 minutes at least once. Any longer and she will start talking about Maya.

Do I even need to explain Baofu. Have you seen him.

And finally, Katsuya, who is a cop and a kiss ass and Very Obvious about these things. Also he can't talk to women. He can barely talk to men. Help Him.

And yet they all work wonderfully as a group. They are so annoying I love them

it’s been lovely to be on instagram today to see all of the heartwarming stories about mark margolis shared by brba and bcs actors, but my favorite has got to be from vincent fuentes (arturo), who shared some texts that mark sent him:

honestly i'd be fully okay with hotd season 2 if there was just a bit more going on, on top of what we got. i'm enjoying a lot of the stuff they've added, but for a show about essentially a chain of tragedies theres a noticeable lack of grief and sadness and rage being shown in the motivations of these characters.

also, as much as i enjoy seeing rhaenyra and alicent try to reconcile (and failing) i just dont think its believable.

like, to rhaenyra: this is the same woman who made you drag yourself through the whole castle to present your baby because it was easier to rather than face her wrath if not. this is the woman who demonised you and your children for years, and turned the whole court against you. this is the same woman who tried to maim your child right in front of you. and this is the same woman who birthed and villified the man who killed your boy.

and rhaenyra is the same woman who in the book, after the death of her baby which was brought on by being told her father was dead and her crown usurped, is quoted to have said: " She was my only daughter, and they killed her. They stole my crown and murdered my daughter and they shall answer for it."

like what are we doing writers??? it makes no sense for these two to try to make peace, they both know peace is not an option anymore, and rhae has lost far too much to be so naive, it just makes her look weak and indecisive and alone, which she really is not.

between that and daemons harrenhal trip that was both i think unnecessary although entertaining and dragged out far too long, plus the complete mischaracterisation of daemons character in general, this season feels far weaker than season one.

yes we all complained season one was far too quick, but it definetly at least felt more book accurate and the characters felt far more believable in their motivations and actions (other than alicents whole character shuffle around). but i feel like thats because it felt almost truer to the book being more snapshots into the history instead of a game of thrones minute-by-minute feel.

im gonna be real with you chief, i may not like the natla, but i enjoy natla zhao even more than OG zhao. og zhao was a sleazebag but natla zhao is like your bitter workplace enemy Michael who works in middle management. entirely and utterly pathetic, serving officecore loser. giving a bit of a gay-but-votes-conservative vibe. which to me is very enjoyable, i liked having him on my screen.

Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964)

"Miriam? He really... isn't here, is he? Just now, I thought I heard... sometimes at night, when I wake up, it seems as if he really is here. Don't turn on the light. It's not real when it's light. It's only real when it's dark - dark and still."

Lord of the Empty Isles

sci-fi/fantasy

set on a supposedly utopian planet recovering from a climate crisis, where bonds between people are able to be seen and manipulated (by some people)

follows a young man whose brother was cursed and killed by an infamous outlaw 5 years ago, and he’s finally able to curse him back - but it rebounds, as he’s somehow fatebound to the outlaw

to find a cure and save them both they have to team up, and he quickly finds out that the resources the outlaw is stealing go to the thousands of people neglected on prison planets, and he has to go against what he thought was right to help them

no romance, aroace MC, focus on platonic relationships

i napped the entire day away and my dreams included, but were not limited to: big earthquake that, as it was happening, i was like "oh this is a bad one" and my stepdad went "its not that bad" - our house slid down a ravine into water / very vivid evening apocalypse that - after the blast hit and i died - swirled into sleep paralysis that occurred While I Was Dreaming (and i do mean swirled. i got whipped around like an inflatable tube man) / rich people sitcom where everyone was unbearable but i had my dear cat Letti with me / sound-based monster shaped like my mom that i kept from killing me via a funny joke (i didnt even get to finish my microwaved macaroni smh)

It’s really cool to see someone else work out trauma through this group of characters because oh boy!Same! And you just always really hit the nail on the head with it and it’s just… nice. To simultaneously see exactly the type of content I’m searching for and also sort of feel less alone in my own stuff, like someone else gets it. In a weird way hearing you talk about these characters and all the art you produce feels a little like being back in group therapy in the best way possible. I don’t know if that’s weird. I don’t even know what exactly I meant to be saying. Just, like, solidarity I guess.

I think you'll very often project yourself onto media, it's kind of natural, but this specific cast just makes it so easy lol. Solidarity!!

Out of all of the bullshit that’s come out of this chapter, this tweet right here is probably my favorite actually. Incredible because they’re so right…
