GUYS, I WAS GOING THROUGH PREVIOUS ALNST POSTS AND WAS REREADING COMICS AND-

THE ROCKET IMAGERY IN WIEGE??? PARALLEL/CALL BACK TO JACOB?? Like we all thought this was a metaphorical imagery not only for the bullet Hyuna took but also as a reference to their emotions and characters and whatnot BUT MAYBE ITS ALSO A DIRECT REFERENCE TO JACOB?? BC, BC, GET THIS-

HYUNA GIVING THE SAME/SIMILAR PARTING WORDS TO LUKA AS JACOB DID TO HER ON HIS DEATHBED USING A DIRECT REFERENCE WITH A MISSILE LAUNCH???? HYUNA 'S DEATH BEING A DIRECT PARALLEL TO JACOB'S DEATH??? GOD IM NOT OK

No One Likes the Perfect Girl in High Society 

Tumblr, Pinterest, hypergamy accounts etc etc will push you to become your better self in order to frequent the high society circles. 

The reality is that this girl is not well liked among the higher classes… Because she comes across as intimidating. 

Sex, drugs, alcohol, infidelity is rampant in the upper echelons of society. They’re all dealing with a cheating spouse or horrible children or business issues or some family dispute or the other. Majority of these women are Serena from gossip girl to a T. 

“Oh but they run the businesses!” Very few actually do. 

“Oh but they donate!” Yes and it’s for PR. 

“Oh but they’re invited to all these high profile events!” Because of their family. 

So the only respite these women/ men get, comes in the form of entertainment. 

Entertainment is another way to claim your spot in society, by showing off how lavishly you can design and decorate and host. I know a certain billionaire family that literally pays people to come to their seasonal parties…. Naturally, there is a lot of discreet murmur. The same billionaire family had strippers for their son’s coming of age party. 

What happens when you decide to go against the norm and stand out? I’ll write very objectively on this. 

My mother is one such case - the “perfect” wife. She leaves parties early, doesn’t drink nor smoke, works out 24/7 and looks 30, is the perfect daughter in law (to a point where my grandfather’s friends openly express their jealousy), is very social, has her own standing in society, has her own projects and business that she’s deeply involved in. So to majority of these other women, she’s too intimidating to be friends with - because the ideal has been set so high. They prefer to vacation, party, spend their time shopping - to each their own. But it doesn’t exactly give them a sense of identity because their entire persona revolves around money. 

Is it truly bad to have your persona revolve around money?

I wouldn’t say it’s bad but I’ll say it’s lacking. It comes across as intellectually flawed. And as a woman, everyone’s going to assume you’re stupid as balls, even before you open your mouth to speak. However, being stupid doesn’t affect you too much, as long as you’re married to the man who has cemented his position - no one really expects the wife to be smart. Any effort put above maintaining yourself and your kids, such as reading or philanthropy, is seen as a bonus. 

So naturally one would assume - wouldn’t the rest therefore gravitate to someone like my mother? Shouldn’t everyone be tripping their feet trying to be friends with her? 

Ideally speaking yes. Realistically that does not happen. 

These people want to be friends with people who are somewhat equally screwed up. So you have to decide where that line is for yourself. Do you want to mingle or do you want to stand out? Each position has its own pros and cons, so it depends on your personality, capacity, discipline and where you want to be. So when you’re trying to break into these circles, bear in mind that being too put together might just alienate you completely. But it’s your choice to conform or stand out.

Thinking about how in the Lost Boys they're blood is literally glittery and it's all I can think about sometimes.

Like... I could you imagine if other parts of them are sparkly???? [Cause I do. Everyday all the ti]

Blood, tears, sweat, saliva, you know and... *clears throat awkwardly*... Other things... 👁👁

I watched Sonic 3 last week now Ian’s holy shit. It was truly the best fucking thing I’ve ever seen holy shit. There’s so much I want to say about it and just saying it was so good isn’t enough IT WAS PERFECT SO PERFECT I LOVED IT WAHHHNHHHH. I had to share my thoughts on it so here there are!

WARNING SPOILERS BELOW FOR SONIC 3

————————————————————————————————

Anyways I am gonna just ramble out everything I need for this because the brainrot is so real AND I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS SHSHHSEHHSSN

- i actually cried quite a lot actually so many moments just tug my heart especially the flashback moments with Maria and shadow man their story is so tragic they deserved so much better 😭 I kept jumping and giggling in my seat and just tried to keep my composure over certain moments ESPECIALLY WHEN LIVE AND LEARN PLAYED I HAD TO KEEP MYSELF FROM SINGING ALONG HWBWHDHDEHHWHJWJSJ.

- God the way the movie opened, where Shadows beginning to wake up and he’s seeing memories of Maria already like okay straight away to the pain and angst I see

- ALSO THEY COULDNT HAVE WRITTEN MARIA AND SHADOW MORE PERFECT I actually loved their relationship and dynamic in this sm they were so adorable and the memories of them spending time and being like family just tug my heart 😭

- also the first section of the movie when sonic and shadow had their first fight was amazing. Sonic asking about who did his highlights when chasing after shadow made me giggle for sm reason lol

- They’ve changed up Shadows backstory a little, not having him be man-made but instead coming from a meteorite and like a straight up alien. they’ve also written out Maria’s sickness which tbh im not entirely sure how I feel about that? Like tbh it’s not something like the worst change ever but it does make me wonder why they changed it especially since it’s a core part of her character in the main universe but tbh this is still a completely separate universe so really in the end it’s not the worst change and not something that completely ruins the experience. (It just made me curious really) but yeah everything else with Shadows backstory is absolutely amazing and I loved it!!

- ALSO SONIC CRASHING OUT AFTER SHADOW HURT TOM OH MY FUCKING GOD THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED AHHHHHHHHHHHH

- and the scene when Sonic runs over to Tom to see if he is okay and calling to him in desperation as shadow just watches seeing exactly himself in Sonic atm as he had lost Maria eughhhshshshshsh

- Gerald. Just Gerald. Like holy shit his character was so interesting here because in the main canon universe he is already a very complex character but here holy shit I really didn’t expect them to go with a very huge darker twist with it. Cause in the main universe he dedicated everything about his research towards Maria and curing her of her illness that he even went into lengths of accepting some alien warlord to help him make the ultimate life form knowing the consequences that could come with that. And here he used his grandson Ivo and shadow to accomplish his plans of destroying everything even themselves. You can tell here he really had lost it with the death of Maria but here he no longer even cared about Maria’s wishes and rather what he wanted to avenge her and it’s a even darker side of his character. The fact he used his grandson to get what he wanted like- hacking into his creations to lure him in and try to play the role of grandfather to only want to use his genius brain and the fact he never had anybody as a way to help him achieve in destroying the world. Like wow. Just wow.

- Keanu absolutely did a fantastic job as shadow. I CANNOT wait to see more of what he does with the character

- Revenge guac shouldn’t have made me laugh as much as it did LMAOOO

- Knuckles and Tails were wonderful in this movie they really feel like friends/brothers and the way the three of them really cared for each other was so sweet.

- Tom and Maddie were also amazing and I loved their parts in this movie sm. the fact they were WAITING for sonic and co to come back with a world disaster to deal with because they were bored 😭 they are so used to these wacky adventures it’s become such a norm for them that’s honestly so sweet 🥹

- The way Sonic and Knuckles were gearing up to fight each other with Tails being right in the middle before Knuckles decides to let Sonic know where the master emerald is was done so perfectly, that scene had me on the fucking edge of my seat

- I was also worried that they would do a third act break up with team sonic cuz I’m not usually a fan of that trope but they executed it PERFECTLY oh my god

- and at the end Sonic’s apology to them when he knew he was in the wrong and let his anger and vengeance get to him and knuckles going for a fist bump and Sonic just hugging him??? Oh my sweet boys oh how I miss them already they were the perfect team in this movie I can’t wait to see more team sonic again 😭🥹💙💙

- also I loved Sonic’s development??? I just love how every movie he’s growing more and more as a character I just love that sm

- God I wish we had more scenes with Maria and Shadow I’m just not over their interactions they deserved sm better 😭

- also I love tails’s role in this movie!! Dude was really the MVP fr and I tried not to laugh when tails washed away stone and shadow in the giant robot crap like dude casually caused violence and I love that for him lol

- Stobotnik was perfect in this film I literally started to sob when eggman told him off because stone realized something off about Gerald. And when that heart felt goodbye to stone played it was so wonderful and heartbreaking I was sobbing atp. if this is Jim’s last film then that’s okay he went out with a BANG (literally)

- ALSO WHEN LIVE AND LEARN STARTED TO PLAY???? AND SHADOW AND SONIC DID THE DAB UP THEY DO IN SA2 I HAD TO TRY AND COMPOSE MYSELF BECAUSE I WAS JUMPING IN MY SEAT I was pointing at the screen and saying “they did the thing they did the thing!”

- Also when Gerald made that misogynistic comment about women being in the military me and my friend (who went with me to watch it) just looked at each other because WHAT 😭

- I loved how the eclipse canon lookd a lot like the space colony ARK I love the reference to it sm

- I almost screamed in my seat when metal sonic showed up at the end AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT AMY?????? OHNMY GOD IM SO HAPPY AHHSHSHHSSHJ I’m still not over it

- now I want villain stone for the fourth movie like PLEASE ITS SET UP SO WELL HERE. Stone losing robotnik definitely would play a huge reason for his villain arc plus someone had to make metal sonic.

- ALSO I LOVED THE PARALLEL TO SONIC ADVENTURE 2????? WHERE INSTEAD OF SHADOW TURNING BACK TO HIS MAIN FORM AND SONIC KEEP GOING IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND SHSHSDBEHSHWHSHSJ

- That entire scene when Sonic and Shadow were fighting in their super forms WAS LITERALLY SO INSANE MY JAW DROPPED WHEN SONIC MANAGED TO TURN BACK BUT LOOKED UP TO ALSO SEE THAT SHADOW HAD TRANSFORMED

- Also I just loved how Eggman randomly announced he’s Bi/pan it was truly beautiful

- AND ALSO SHADOW IS STILL ALIVE YEAHHHHH. I mean I did see it coming as he literally survives the end of SA2 (even though he originally actually wasn’t fun fact) but also the fact there is a confirmation on him getting a spin off it was pretty obvious lol but STILL especially since his “sacrifice” scene really hit hard. I really hope in his spin off we get to see rouge and maybe even learn more where he came from…especially from a certain alien warlord 😙

ANYWAYS honestly this movie is now the best movie out of the three. It was just an amazing experience and I loved every single moment of it, it was an amazing adaptation to SA2 for sure and I’m honestly still not over it at all, this movie was quite the experience and I definitely recommend it sm it’s an amazing movie and I can certainly say it made the inner child inside my heart very happy.

I had the strangest experience this morning so of course i had to illustrate it

[hypocriticaltypwriter]

Here's my Lost Boys Marko inspired bracelet that I made last night whilst watching the movie! Also running back and forth to my father to borrow his wrist for old man measure as I hope to one day give this to Alex Winter!

Which boy should I do next? 👀

What its like being a part of the 1%

travel is the ultimate social currency. and places like London, NYC, Maldives, Paris are been-there-done-that. truly wealthy people (and I mean the 1% of the 1%) crave exotic, unique experiences because they can share about their stories to other people. that is also what attracts them to people - unbelievable stories or experiences. these could be places like niseko, pearl island, phulay bay, etc.

Price insensitive, but value conscious. If a night at the Ritz is going to cost me $x and the place is gorgeous but the staff is inattentive, I'm never staying there again... even if it is the "Ritz," because I have received minimal value and I have not been made to feel welcomed. Being nickel and dimed is absolutely detestable. people might think that the truly wealthy just go about spending nights in every five or seven stars, which is true for the most part, but if they have one bad experience, they're never going there again. highly, highly unforgiving of negative experiences or inconsistent experiences be it people or places.

comparative poverty exists, and there will always be a hierarchy in these circles. one might perceive that the family with the most wealth-in-hand will be the most influential, when in reality, the factors are slightly different: it is a combination of public perception + adhering to their faith's values and national customs + wealth + national and global connections (not "I know them" but "they know us") + ability to execute large scale projects, charity and businesses + being decisive and opinionated + access to information that the public could never have.

behind every "king" is a "kingmaker" who gets them the right deals, is business savvy, is more influential than the king, has grassroots connections, diplomatic, geopolitically intelligent and essentially controls everything. very few kings are both kings and kingmakers, but they exist.

yes, people here wear H&M and Zara, its not embarrassing, but the pieces won't be "star" pieces but casual, basic ones - like plain t-shirts, sweatpants, simple pieces that no one cares to ask where its from.

Is it weird that I want to become a friend of every single person I meet?

[cherry-dream-star]

Okay so I have a theory that they might use Sonic’s quills to power the ellipse cannon in Sonic 3. I primarily think this as in the first trailer Sonic had asked Eggman to help him and Eggman agreed but if he gave him some of his quills. Though ofc we all know he’s definitely going to betray them and i definitely think this may happen around after Eggman meets Gerald.

I feel like it may be the case they’ll use them and I think that may be the Eclipse Cannon.

Another part of my theory is that Eggman will still have enough quills by the end and will use them to build and power Metal Sonic.

But yeah this got me thinking because of this poster;

Though ofc, this is just a theory! so idk what will happen honestly but either way im very excited to see what goes down
