Sober Curious? Here's an Invitation and a Recipe for You

Maybe you haven't hit rock bottom and you aren't sure if you want to stop drinking forever. Maybe you're the only one who knows that drinking, for you, is becoming more of a nightly need than a nightly want. Come join us for Arid August and try on a ...

Sober-curious has recently become a phrase that sparks debate. When I was drinking, and for the first couple of years that I was alcohol-free, I loved a good debate. I thrived on arguing the pros and cons of a situation. I was determined to fight for right and I got a powerful rush out of defending the truth … The truth … The only truth in the sober-curious debate that matters to me now is that…

#1 thing i'm most afraid abt in the revival is the candace characterization actually bc we are in a paradox here

fact: candace's endless torment was part of the backbone of the show, one of the constants that kept the plot structure going. phineas and ferb must always do something new. candace and doofenshmirtz must always lose. any exceptions to these rules can't be permanent. status quo must be upheld.

fact: candace against the universe's character development seemed to finally be breaking this cycle. candace isn't alone anymore, she's letting go of her obsession to see the support that was always there for her and thus she's escaped her sisyphean cycle. to go back to the old status quo after this would be massively unsatisfying.

fact: the reboot is supposed to take place AFTER candace against the universe.

so what do we do now

#i almost deleted this it didnt super feel like i have a point to make but i went to the effort of typing it out so.#i mean the solution seems to be to have candace join in with her brothers in the reboot but im worried the show wont break that status quo #like that change would be really huge i just dont know if theyll do it #but if we backpedaled on the events of candace against the universe it would be a huge loss and just really tiring to go backwards #idk man. idk #phineas and ferb #candace flynn #pnf tag #harold.txt

Me : Okay so clearly this arc is focusing on training each of the character, before we head up to the 3rd most important location where the plot might start to pick up. Tsukasa's event might be an arc ender in this case a-

Colorful Palette : TSUKASA BECOMES A DETECTIVE !!!!!!

Me :

#project sekai #pjsk #colorful palette #wxs #wonderxshowtime #tsukasa tenma #tsukasa wxs #i'm not at all against it #this is like island panic 2.0 in a way #they break the status quo with a very goofy silly scenario #but MY GOD I DID NOT EXPECT IT

Succumbing to the insanity again…

Still absolutely insane by this devastating line delivery, it’s just the perfect mix of defeated and apologetic. He wants to accept Crowley’s offer so badly, he always did, but even still the panopticon of Heaven and Hell looms near. They’re both aware of this wish to be closer, and Aziraphale’s just too tired to hide it. Because even after achieving the impossible and saving the world from a 6,000 year plan to destroy it, he still doesn’t feel safe enough to simply stay a night at Crowley’s house.

In fact the whole scene reflects this. There’s no score save for the few tentative notes when Crowley invites Aziraphale over, and it bears a somber, almost melancholy demeanor. Not at all what you’d expect from two people who just stopped Armageddon against all odds.

I think that’s really why this ending feels familiar but not redundant, it’s telling in the best way. This is the second time, (the first being the band stand scene), where the show makes it explicitly clear that they love the Earth because they’ve come to love each other.

#I’m not kidding it literally breaks me every time #he sounds so profoundly sad #like they’ve won back the status quo #but the monatony of truly being happy just barely out of reach has finally eaten away at him #ineffable husbands #good omens #season 1 #episode 6 #meta #analysis #biceratops #aziraphale #crowley #Micheal sheen #david tennant

Guys, it just occurred to me that they were on the wrong sides of each other for the kiss.

Crowley was on the left, and he's almost ALWAYS on the right. Aziraphale is on the right, and he is almost ALWAYS on the left.

All I'm saying is, if the s3 kiss happens with them switched back, I'm never shutting up about it.

#and you can quote me on that jack #the symbolism of them being on the wrong side really helps to highlight how Wrong and Uncomfortable™ that kiss was supposed to feel #(this is me to the people who complained that it was too stiff and awkward bc DT and MS are straight like stfu)#it was SUPPOSED to feel awkward and desperate and wrong #the music alone tells us that #and them being on the wrong side of each other; symbolic of being wrong-footed bc of the fight maybe?#or maybe symbolic of crowley finally doing something to break them out of their status quo #idk but there's something to this i can feel it #Good omens #good omens spoilers #good omens season 2 #good omens season 2 spoilers #good omens 2 #good omens 2 spoilers #gos #gos spoilers #gos2 #gos2 spoilers #gomens #gomens spoilers #gomens 2 #gomens 2 spoilers #good omens s2 spoilers #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #aziraphale #crowley #mine #meta #the kiss

honestly, maybe it's a hot take or whatever, but I think that tearing down the veil and *potentially* bringing back the immortality to the elves would not have helped them a lot

#like ok i'm not 100% sure that tearing down the veil would even make them immortal again #bc the problem is that the elves of today are so far distanced from the ones is solas's time i don't know how that would even work #or maybe i'm stupid and missing context clues but whatever #but like what service would that *actually* do to the elves?#it won't bring their erased history back #it won't suddenly break all the chains of the ensalved elves #or give better quality of life to those in the alienages #bc take fucking tevinter #yeah if suddenly all enslaved elves became mages it sure would help them #but their enslavers are ALSO mages #who had way more training and years of practice #and then the ones in the south #if they suddenly all became mages #what would stop the templars of jus rounding everyone up and committing a genocide?#what would stop the ruler of orlais of burning the alienages again #like waht gets to me is that #the current situation of elves in thedas is a political problem #that needs to be solved through that #through rebellion through changing the status quo #to pushing for political powers to protect their elven citizes #not through magical means #bc that time is gone #and the dalish and the city elves have SUCH different cultures #than the ones of the first elves #that like...what would they gain?#solas could have spent his time actively encouraging all elves in thedas to rebel #to break their chains and rise up against their masters #but instead he's choosing to risk literally everyone's lives bc of HIS regrets #like he is only thinking of the past and of himself and of the people of his time #the way he treats the dalish is a good example of that

this is old as fuck but im transcribing the full page notes i wrote about harry and vincent from when i first read the book. FUCK the hyper fixation is so back guys. help me. notes in blue are from me right now, the rest is from like 3 years ago.

VINCENT ANALYSIS

Shown to be impulsive and act on emotion. Apparently (what claire north said in an interview i believe) if harry didnt kill him in the ending vincent would have coddled and been sweet to harry?? and he'd DROP The Quantum Mirror PROJECT??? HELLO???? Harry just needed to convince him completely and everything would have been fine?? i got the feeling that he held a lot of remorse over what he did to Harry. Vincent acts a lot on emotion (ie soccing harry in the face after finding out he's a Kalachkra bursting into Harry's office to debate his papers, starting the quantum mirror, continuing the mirror, dropping the project for Harry, and more). We view the Story through the eyes of Harry so this is his perspective on him.

HARRY ANALYSIS

Cold and calculating. This bitch is manipulative, holy. Brought up the fact that he'd be fine with becoming vincent's lover unprovoked?? said outright he liked vincent?? Homosexual Vibes. Harry is very introspective and while he is impulsive at first (ie. telling his gf, suiciding the first time, taking the advice of a random prostitute, etc...) he fully falls into the mindset of 4D chess. Harry definitely has the better moral compass of the two, but he's far more manipulative. If he hadn't been able to get Vincent's backstory and ended up dying, he would probably continue acting around vincent. he's the kind of person that doesn't care about the journey as long as he gets his end result. I wonder how would have reacted to vincent falling in love with him. would he Continue his plan? would he let himself indulge in momentary pleasures and elope with vincent? (probably not)

lastly some notes about their contrast

The duality of these two is amazing holy shit. Vincent is technically the villain but he has more heroic traits while Harry is the hero but he's a lot scarier and is more villainous.

Vincent tortures, Harry kills. They're both terrible people but Vincent is hopeful where Harry is resigned and tired.

#the first fifteen lives of harry august #harry august #vincent rankis #this was pretty much illegible before i edited it.#im going to rotate them more in my mind and write newer analysis #i just this that duality comparison is really interesting #the villain is a beacon of hope. representing change and the search for knowledge and understanding.#the hero is a symbol of status quo. upheld until the end of time. unchanging and dead like a swamp. you will live hundreds of the same life #until your mind breaks and you choose to forget. some dont even get that grace. the doctrine is set.#is it worth sacrificing the world to understand it?#in the end. one dies and the other continues to live out an eternal grief. another scar on the timeline. another brilliant mind filled with #hope that has been erased. was it worth it?#was the world worth losing him?#ungshv im so mentally ill over them #ailius loses it over something or other

Thinking more about something Lisa said in the documentary, about Wille realizing he can’t both be a Prince and be with Simon:

So August never really became like a complete good guy. We got some more of his backstory to explain him, and I think he definitely grew as a person. But in episode 5 we see Vincent do that microagression against the other student (when they’re talking about the seniors superlatives) and August doesn’t stop it or call it out. August hasn’t become like a great guy, just a better guy than he used to be. He fixed some problems with Hillerska by changing the hazing ritual, but he isn’t suddenly fighting for social equality or whatever. Like he didn’t get rid of the hazing just adapted it. And that’s how it’s supposed to be. August doesn’t need to be a great person to be a great Prince. Because the Royal family’s job isn’t to be leaders or rally for change, their job is to uphold tradition.

Wille’s journey was never about learning to become a better Crown Prince and revolutionize the monarchy or upend the system. His journey was to realize that he could only grow and become who he wants to be by leaving the system entirely.

#young royals #young royals spoilers #yr s3 #yr s3 spoilers #Felice too!#she was never really accepted in that world even though she was rich and privileged #she was still other #and being the most popular girl in school didn’t change anything in the system. they all expected her to tolerate microagressions #not challenge the status quo #she could only be happy by breaking away from the system. from her shallow friends

Is this a safe space to say I liked the bnha epilogue and didn't see anything wrong with it? 🧍🏻‍♂️it was just a fun little bonus chapter I honestly don't know why people are upset about it

Anyway I love Shouto and I hope he enjoys his bowl and chopstick making classes

#i don't care about ships at all so i don't care what's canon and what's not #i'm very neutral towards izuchaco but then having a crush on each other has been a thing since the beginning #so the status quo didn't change #and some are saying that izuku rejecting bakugo's offer to join his agency is ooc #but i don't think it is at all #izuku's goal was to be a hero and he reached it #also he's literally 25 years old now why would he still want to compete with bakugo for the rest of his life #it was always bakugo whonwas obsessed with competing with him #they still get to work together as heroes which is so special #and izuku found fulfillment as a hero and teacher #i think it's beautiful #my biggest complaint about the ending of mha is how the villains were handled but that has nothing to do with this chapter #it was literally just a fun lighthearted bonus chapter of them all as adults it's mot that serious #idk maybe it's a big deal for people that care about ships but i just do not #and while i would have rathered there be no indications of any relationships #i think the way izuku and ochaco was handled was pretty chill #it just ended with them agreeing that they'd like to talk to get closer and do something for themselves for once #while i won't deny that it was def supposed to be romantic #it leaves it very open ended that if you don't like them together you can just easily headcanon that they try it out then amicably break up #after realizing that they don't work #and you can always headcanon that izuku eventually joins bakugo's agency or whatever #it was a very flexible ending and you can write whatever fanfiction you want with it #at least it didn't end with them married with kids which i would actually really dislike #bnha #my posts #bnha spoilers

I genuinely love Rex as a character. He's just genuinely a good person. He meets Pyra once and decides that he personally will take her back to her home, not just to help her but in hopes of helping Alrest by proving it's real. I would die for him your honor.

HE'S SO GOOOOOOD

And like... it's not a coincidence that he's a young protag either, cuz young people (including kids and teens) are so often rebuked and pushed aside when it comes to important discussions or voicing problems with the world. "Just wait til you grow up, it gets worse!" is what so many adults tell kids. It's sad.

But he doesn't lose his love for people or the world and genuinely wants to do things to help everyone, even if it's considered a pipe dream. And it ends up that the "pipe dream" is actually pretty fucking simple because it comes down to "if we're all good to each other, we wouldn't have to search for Elysium because it's right here where we make it." UGHHHHH IT'S SUCH A GOOD STORY AND REX IS SO GREAT

#playingxc2 #xenoblade #xenoblade chronicles 2 #xenoblade chronicles #rex xenoblade #it's no wonder that xc3 also followed up on the same message #where young people break out of a status quo and are rejected at first #before everyone wakes up and sees that they actually make a lot of fucking sense

So who wants to go to a convention with me to cosplay Charlie and Alastor and pretend we’re a couple

#I’m being serious btw #I never see charlastor cosplayers anywhere and I need to break the status quo #imagine we’re holding hands/linking arms the whole time #kissing hands every now and then #doing a romantic performance at the lip sync contest #and then we fake a proposal to go all the way #and if we’re feeling ‘freaky’ at night we can pull out the green chain lmao #hazbin hotel #charlastor #radiobelle #lady luxo rambles
