I finished hell bent by leigh bardugo last night and I did enjoy it and while I don't want to compare it too much to six of crows I did appreciate the continuation of the idea that being a quote-unquote good person is privilege that not everyone is afforded and a lot of the people who pride themselves on being "good people" have simply never been in the position where they had to be anything else
#hell bent#leigh bardugo#six of crows#alex stern#I think alex exemplifies this most tbh#inej ghafa#(is the obvious contender for this) but also:#kaz brekker#nina zenik#and the other crows as well tbh#as the twelfth doctor so wisely said 'sometimes the only choices you have are bad choices but you still have to make them;#also that bit in hell bent where Not Hellie is torturing Alex saying 'I should have lived and you should have died and I should've had this#and alex is just like 'yeah probably. sadly tho I lived. deal with it.'

started typing another long post about icebrood saga but i’m gonna save that bad boy in my drafts because i have to go on a road trip in a couple of hours
but i will get this off my chest: i go feral over the implications that ryland was absolutely void-corrupted by the end of it from his connection with jormag
#like. it adds so much context for the latter half of icebrood saga in ways i am not even going to GET INTO#anyways i gotta go collect my laundry and help my roommate vacuum so this is a conversation for another time#gw2#i swear there is also another reference to ryland’s eyes SOMEWHERE in the text but i can’t remember where.#but yeah like primordus has one or two skins referencing braham i think this is the obvious ryland contender which is so.#i mean this plus the void coldsteels alongside all of the other minions basically confirms it yeah. yeah

Honestly y'all I can't imagine Aloy dating/liking anyone other than a girl, like, her interactions are on average way richer and way more engaged with lady NPCs (not to say that there aren't rich and engaging interactions with guy characters, there are, but Aloy herself seems way less interested/invested in those than the ones she has with girls)
#just thinking about signal spike like the crush was SO obvious#closest guy character contender is kotallo but I attribute their bond to shared love for combat and exacting justice like obv youre gonna b#generally affectionate with people who share your views and approach to the world#& that doesnt mean youre into them it just means you've found a valuable companion of any sort#like even aloy and sekya disagreeing on seyka being super loyal to her tribe is a good interaction bc aloy respects/likes people#who are strong in their beliefs as long as theyre using them to make people's lives better and seyka's loyalty does do that for her tribe#but she seems way more interested in other strong-willed women than strong-willed men#also her personality reminds me of many lesbians I know irl (I say this very affectionately)#she doesn't give me bi vibes at all#txt

sometimes I feel like the things that impacted my art style are obvious and then I think about it and some of them probably Really Aren't
#obvious: hellboy (only read somewhat recently). httyd and mlp (inevitable by exposure time). dnd dragon art and neondragon how to books#also obvious: graffiti and comic art in general#less well known: ghostopolis. bone comics. dragon booster.#getting niche-r: everybody needs a rock and other books illustrated by Peter Parnall. kirikou and the sorceress. beatles yellow submarine#mega bloks dragons movies and McFarlane dragon figures back before they did game of thrones#out of left field well known but unexpected contender for art style development: hot wheels world race dvd#and of course belated well known additions: lion king spirit stallion of the cimmaron howls moving castle treasure planet atlantis#i could go on listing forever. we are all the culmination of our experiences and our art shapes one another in ways#we could never expect or quantify. this isnt even TOUCHING on the number of online art pieces ive seen and dont remember the artist names on#not art

song post except i havent been checking tags or the ranking so its not new songs just what we're appreciating tonight
kochira adachiku kitasenju ekimae kansokujo (this is the observatory in front of adachi-ku's kitasenju station) - jyokyo (adachi rei)
shiawasekai - null (teto sv)
sensitive ghost - sena wataru (miku)
ookami (great god) - daibakuhashin (rime)
#shiawasekai is literally combined happiness & world but i can never figure out an eng equivalent that works well#i love when the song list reads like a cry for help. what mood are we in tonight how obvious can it get#aiwo & kyuuyaku are also possible contenders for the list but i feel like i link those frequently already

3am pacing around the room in a heated debate with myself over which movie should fill the 4th slot on my letterboxd profile
#what autism does to a motherfucker#the first 3 are romeo+juliet 96/to catch a thief/scott pilgrim#rope is a STRONG contender but idk if i can justify 2 hitchcocks out of 4 slots. that’s a bit much#i might even like rope more but to catch a thief is just that important to my identity#2001 aso is also a strong contender as is contact. i haven’t seen either of them too many times but mostly bc i was too blown away#2001 is obviously That Movie but contact made me experience an entire new emotion at like 13#i have not watched it since my dad died and i truly don’t know if i can ever watch it again. god#dead poets is also a legacy choice but like. has it truly earned it. yes it has but STILL#last candidate is portrait of a lady on fire for obvious lesbian reasons#one of the hardest i have ever cried at a film is the last like 3 minutes. deep painful sobbing i’m so serious#but again! does a particularly emotional viewing experience necessarily mean it goes in the top 4?#most importantly it does not fucking matter except for i like categorizing and making lists so it matters to me#i think the answer is i have to rewatch all the candidates but the problem is all those films make me so emotional it wipes me out for days#so watching them all is hydrogen bomb (5 fave movies) to coughing baby (me making lists)#ok. ok i’m going to try and go to bed now#if u read all of this and want to be letterboxd besties my @ is m_worm#orating!

Okay we're all in agreement that if none of the og lot die in Stranger things 5 it's gonna suck, right? They have to. For Impact. That said, who's death do yall think would work best, narratively? Just going S1 crew here bc as much as Max or Robin dying would be sad they've already faked out on Max and Robin's just not connected enough yk? Any anyway
#stranger things#personally i think my votes on nancy#bc like. itd fuck up mike johnathon steve and robin and also give us more reason for holly to be introduced which she will be#other strong contender is joyce. thats be fucked#the weak and obvious choices are steve johnathon and will with eleven maybe tacked on#anyway. thought?#stranger things s5#stranger things season 5

#music#we were talking about like. dance/club anthems for each of the boys and this is the one i ended up picking for alun#i think the most obvious being the feeling of being trapped by things which he knows he should love at detriment to himself#there's a lot to be said about his views on his various relationships especially as they pertain to patron(s) and his fellow princes#and how he maybe understands that there is something deeply unhealthy about the value he puts in things that do not seem to value him#riesling has been a strong advocate of him re examining these very relationships but... well. maybe someday. who knows#i also love that both of the vocalists are transgender which alun is not but yknow we've been talking a bit about gender stuff#the beautiful nomi ruiz and anonhi! the latter of whom i believe officially transitioned a while after this song released#the jessica 6 logo being that highly feminized spider figure is also funny to me#because alun is a distillation of a much older oc cuideag#whose name means spider and has always been spider coded in their various incarnations sometimes literally#there are a few other contenders that i will probably slap on here if i haven't already...#dj alun's club mix tape#anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk#also also i love the thought of earth ending alun taking a liking to disco and nu disco for some reason#medieval ass d&d ass man hears a funky bassline for the first time and loses his mind a little

Man oni can't do this to me I'm supposed to be preparing for artfight but all I can think abt is Them™ from the second I wake up to the moment I go to bed how am I supposed to prepare in these circumstances 😔
#rat rambles#oni posting#and dude the beta is probably still going to be going during that time klei how could you do this to me#like I will still be participating in artfight but I fear Ill be on oni lockdown for the first week or smth dhskdhkdh#Ill try to at least sketch some stuff out but god if I can get my hands onto any amount of lore its so jover#now thats not a guarantee this is a beta after all but god man. fuck.#also I need to know the new dupes name right now its important#mostly because I want confirmation that I got z on the cypher right lol#chances are theyll just have another a name or smth#who knows maybe theyll have a w name and be the second ever contender for being sent to the constant#although for all we know there could be plenty more w names in the cast that are just hidden in the full names like with nails#I am in such agony rn with seemingly every place ppl post abt oni being dead silent still hello is anyone there#I thought Id at least see some more speculative stuff on the gameplay side of things but Ive seen like 2 things where ppl even bring it up#tbf some of the new stuff seems pretty obvious to deduce to me like there's no way the new fox deers dont produce lumber#and we already know the bunny guys (or the big one at least) provides reed fiber at least#the plants are mostly more mysterious tho#we have the obvious one being our new bestie the oxylite plant and the lil puffball tree thats probably the new decor plant#and the crystal grapes are probably going to be a new muckroot equivalent and at least one of the new plants probably produces smth edible#as for what recourses they need we know that at least 2 of them need watered in some way#Im currently betting theyll need ethanol but thats not based on a lot#honestly if any of them use plain ol water or even any water variants Ill be surprised#I wouldn't be surprised if most of them take ethanol or some liquid gas or smth#I still am holding out on a plant that consumed liquid carbon dioxide but Im not too hopeful#one thing Im very curious on is just everything abt how the oxylite plant grows I wanna know how good itll be so bad#because I am a proud member of the desperately wants more viable oxygen production option in oni gang and I wanna see this baby flourish#but based on how seemingly abundant it is Im afraid itll just join the squad of early game oxygen options that become too much of a hassle#to sustain late game so you're usually just going to switch to exlectroliszers each time#I hope Im wrong but I wont be surprised if Im not#they already took one oxygen plant out back and shot it dead so this guy might just be a corpse on arival if we're unlucky#well hey thats why there's a beta ig gotta make sure things are balanced or whatever

actually you know what. who give a shit
gonna change my first name to Becquerel instead of having that be my middle name because I might be cringe but I am free
and then since that frees up the middle name the new top contenders are Fenrir, Roseae, Eliot, Balthazar, Roche, Alfred, Phlebas, and Tindalos
#howling#all the remaining contenders are names that I actually have strong emotional connection to#vs 'oh that's a cool name' y'know#which also means the short list is fucking. really funny comparing each of the names#like you've got my obvious nerd shit like w/ tindalos + fenrir + roseae + phlebas#and then youve got like. fucking Eliot. normal guy name#but shhhh that's actually ALSO nerd shit just more stealthy

I’ve started trying to prioritize buying produce that’s only in season; last week the store had a little sign saying their gala apples were a new crop and man, those were the best apples I’ve had in years lmao
#there are. a few things seasonality doesn’t seem to affect#lemons and limes for example seem inexplicably the same quality year round#perhaps because they’re mostly imported?#that also why bananas all taste the same to me#onions though always taste the same#and fascinatingly tomatoes do too despite those seeming sn obvious contender for seasonal variation#but Florida’s tomato season is winter so maybe that’s it

top 5 sebson moments 😌😌😌
Hehehe you get me 🤭 BUT THIS IS SO HARD THERE'S SO MANY, WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME CHOOOSEEEE
1. Literally any shared podium champagne pics, they are insane. Example(one of many):
2. Abu Dhabi 2009 press conference (x) (actually any shared press conference from this season, because Seb is very bratty)
3. Their 2011 Autosport award speeches (x)(x)
4. This clip of them from Australia 2011 (x)
5. Post-Qualifying Australia 2009 pics:
Honorable mentions: Monaco and Italy 2011
#lol sorry i just realized these are literally only 2009 and 2011 oops#also any ROC pics!!!!! I love ROC so much#but theyre all 2009 and 2011 bcs those are at the forefront of my mind atm :)#2009 bcs im watching that and 2011 bcs *obvious* reasons#also tho makes sense because those are the two seasons when theyre each others main competitors#OH HONORABLE MENTION TO THOSE KOREA 2010 PICS WHERE ALL THE TITLE CONTENDERS ARE SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER#^ sebson are sitting together and theyre verh cute#i also like that abu dhabi 2022 interview but anything recent is still a little raw yknow :<#ty for the ask!!!#bur trying to make this list was so hard bcs i dont wanna neglect any moments sjdjkfk#catie.asks.

finally reading through orv with the intent to finish and the venn diagram i will make once i am done... insane.
#jkb.talk#ok some obvious contenders for comparisons are rgu and blame! all about being trapped in some place/cycle and then breaking out#(i assume that dokja will leave the story in the end. im only at ch 100)#there's of course the structure of a 'story' that is obviously present in rgu (prince/princess) and orv (the entire book)#i would argue that the implied cyclical structure of blame! would lead it to also have a story like aspect---that and killy's reputation#being so widespread makes him like a 'character' even in his own world#there are weapons of choice---the gbe utena's sword and either kdjs sword or just his knowledge would count as a weapon#if kdj does leave the story like im anticipating then there is comparisons between the main characters. rgu and orv have the added benefit#that there are 'alternate mcs.' anthy and yoo joonghyuk#there are megastructures which relate to being trapped in a place. stairs for rgu and blame! while orv is not in a megastructure considerin#how the star stream makes earth entirely feel like one place i would count earth as halfway to a megastructure#anyways there's some more stuff i can draw out but anyways#also would want to compare these stories to house of leaves and piranesi (megastructure beloveds) and then lotr/silm#the latter of which is technically not supposed to be on this blog but lotr/silm is also stories within stories; a cycle that has lasted#forever; is there hope in the future? perhaps. we will fight for it regardless#also just. maglor repeating the same story again and again on the shores of the world.#he himself is enough for a comparison.

somehow we are already only three weeks away from the end of some fall 2023 shows, so here's me more or less finalizing my list for winter 2024!
(undead unluck, sousou no frieren, dog signal, ragna crimson, and shangri-la frontier will be rolling over from this season for a total of 19 shows)
most excited for warumono-san for obvious reasons (asnm) but also of course really looking forward to dunmesh and cherry magic
high card, mashle, and synnoir are the sequels/continuation this season... they're all just fine enough for me to keep following, nothing outstanding. i'm surprised i don't like high card more, just didn't vibe super hard with the first season i guess
sengoku youko is an interesting-looking one to me, haven't read the source material but the manga scores look really good! what's especially interesting is the episode count is currently listed at 37, and i haven't seen a series that runs for three straight cours in ages
i'm just... worried...... because biscuit hammer (same mangaka) also had very high manga scores and got really just the most godawful anime adaptation you could imagine. it was BONKERS bad. i'm talking the manga has an 81% average score and the anime has 49% i do not know how you fuck up that badly
anyway... godspeed and good luck sengoku youko
we've had some fantastic shoujo lately (watakon) and i'm hoping next season's yubisaki to renren will keep that going
most everything else is either a cast add or a "this looks potentially funny" add, except bucchigiri?! which is a staff add for me (same creator as sk8 apparently)
i just wish bucchigiri were coming out like at least a season or two later, or had a different studio. mappa let your fucking staff go home jesus christ
AHEM anyway looks like a promising start to next year!
#crab watches#various things#winter 2024#tl;dr dunmesh obvious early aoty contender#most excited for warumono-san#also hype for cherry magic ani FINALLY#want to be excited for bucchigiri?! by same creator as sk8#but it's a bit hard to get all pumped up for it when all i actually want is for mappa to shut the fuck down#and give their entire staff paid leave for a year

fave DC couple?
i’m assuming we’re going by canon, so it’s kind of a tie between harlivy and scott free/big barda! if non-canon ships are counted then it’s a four way tie between those two, stephcass and wondercheetah🔥
#ask#am i answering these correctly#i dont talk to many people#is it obvious#sorry to the people who have very kindly reached out in concern of my vent posts#but i dont know how to respond#i am so sorry#dc#any way gcs throuple is also a good contender#but i think theyre just behind these
