#Don't mind my complaints

Absolutely absurd that people give Arthur and John the benefit of the doubt by labeling them complex characters (which they are), but won't extend that grace to INCREDIBLY complex characters like Abigail, Molly, and Mary.

Abigail is strictly a nag, Molly is a rat, and Mary is a selfish woman who used Arthur. Meanwhile, John is seen as a deadbeat who grew from that into a family man. Arthur is a murderer, but he's also kind and generous.

Stop only extending grace to your male favs when the red dead women are just as complex as them.

Ok now that the initial shock has faded and I'm much more grounded. This chapter is good actually. Everyone knew Sukuna was going to die and to some extent I knew his death was going to be anything but glorious. It's jjk people rarely get good and respectful death let alone a grand and glorious one but yeah Gege took me out again with how he closed Sukuna's arc. Was it underwhelming? Yes. In jjk if you don't adapt, don't change you're doomed to fail and Sukuna no matter how much physically strong he was always emotionally fragile and in the end his own lack of self awareness became his cause of demise. Kenjaku the biggest villian of the series (for me, the heinous acts he has done is way more than mass murder) got a pretty satisfying end for him because he was open to see and connect with Takaba. Sukuna never did that and died a lump of flesh. And honestly it's not humiliating or pathetic. At first glance it did seem like with him becoming a slime but he didn't die begging for his life rather still being the no 1 hater and his pride mostly intact (he did looked overwhelmed but when after 1000 years you actually lose it's given) also as hypocritcal as ever (mocking Yuji and others for fearing death but he himself felt that too) His death was neither like a glorious warrior nor truly pathetic like Mahito's. For me he just...had a simple and quick death. Though Yuji holding his remains and finally telling him something that he always unconsciously craved for was very bittersweet maybe this is what Yuji had told him on their stroll time things could've been...better? His 'you're me' moved me honestly. They both are the different sides of a coin. It was sad how Sukuna (the man who never cared for any identification or title) for the first time out of everything chose to identify as a...curse really showed how hollow his sense of self was actually. But no matter how much Sukuna denied it he was still...a human not a god not a curse and he died as such and with the only family he ever had at that (maybe if you see he died in the hands of the only family he ever had) and though a direct parallel to Mahito it wasn't hate that Yuji felt and I think neither pity but empathy genuine empathy. Wishing a place where Sukuna could get someone like he had his grandfather, Gojo had Geto and Megumi had Him....

Rip Ryomen Sukuna very few other characters had me itch my brain with their duality.

so have you heard about the ride kamens app game? seems like it's gonna be a twisted wonderland like game with all the riders being hot anime guys now, and it's also gonna be written by yuya takahashi and produced by naomi takebe (apparently it was in development before geats), with designs by the person who did sk8 the infinity, so take that for what you will

have you ever gotten the feeling that a piece of media came into existence just to appeal to you specifically, or

(brb preregistering immediately)

(as far as I can tell you play as an agent who maintains a secret superhero base for riders in the basement of the rider-themed cafe that you run with your butler, and there's some other plot stuff going on but honestly I'm way past sold at this point, this sounds amazing)

"women need to be meaner! Men shouldn't dictate a girls boundaries"

You couldn't handle Connie Maheswaran setting healthy (and much-needed) boundaries with her best friend. You freaking called her toxic and abusive. While season 3 of Amphibia is a hot mess Sasha Waybright being upset with Marcy isn't the problem! It makes sense she'd be pissed that she found out her friend borderline kidnapped her! Even if she can be read as kind of hypocritical, I think she has every reason to be upset! She's like what 14 at the oldest? In a terrifying situation?

It's always "set healthy boundaries" until they set boundaries with your favorite baby and don't spend 100% of their time supporting them/don't forgive their friends for their actions that hurt others

I'm sorry that Steven is your woobie child and Marcy is your comfort character but Connie and Sasha have a right to their feelings and a right to focus on their needs! It's always 'don't feel guilty about focusing on your needs' except not really because apparently focusing on yourself is actually selfish and it's morally wrong to feel certain ways about people! Connie isn't toxic- she acted really mature about the whole situation and while Sasha definitely is toxic- I think she has the right to be mad her friend borderline kidnapped her and broke her trust.

I am a firm believer in setting healthy boundaries and never letting anyone decide your boundaries for you especially when it comes to being supportive. Even if the person you are helping is a good person going through a rough patch you should still have boundaries with them- you can be supportive if you want but you should be your main priority in the need and as callous as it sounds it's not mandatory to give support to everyone especially if your being worn thin

The sudden remembering of Frigid Empress after 4 years. Guys they're apologizing in advance for whatever 8.0 has.

Just gonna randomly ramble some things here about the Sonic Movies okay cool. (PS. This is absolutely not meant to be mean if you didn't like the trailer: you are 100% allowed to dislike it. This is just me rambling my own thoughts ^v^)

I'm already immediately tired of people absolutely BLASTING the movies for choices that they don't like without actually thinking about why those choices might have been made.

Tom being a cop. Okay. What other Earth profession follows the stereotypical "hero" role (the role that Sonic fills in his games) any better? So, a profession where you are saving people from "bad guys" by beating them up. Because that is what Sonic does in Sonic 1. Follows Robotnik around and beats him up and rescues the people (flickies) he was being mean to. They clearly wanted to parallel that idea and yeah, Sonic doesn't like cops and that makes sense given who he is, but I can also look at the movie and go "Oh, they wanted that parallel for a reason and that's why they made that decision" not just because they want to engage in copaganda.

Why is Amy not here yet. Money. Plain and simple, guys. Amy doesn't sell as well as Shadow. Period. Sorry. And nobody knows if they'll get another movie after this. They might, yeah, but 3 movies in a franchise like this is already a lot, and 4 is REALLY a lot. Yes, it is being more common now for something to have 700 sequels, but it is VERY not guaranteed, and if they wanted to get more hype and make more money, then Shadow coming first makes WAY more sense. And trying to shoe-horn her into this movie would absolutely be a disservice to her personality and backstory, as well as Shadow's--they wouldn't be able to properly develop either of them in one 2.5 hour long movie.

Sonic is working for GUN so he must be pro-military. I reblogged a much better-worded post about this earlier, but I am HIGHLY inclined to believe that GUN is USING Sonic to get to Shadow by playing off something adjacent to "He's gonna destroy the world oh noooooo". Let's be real here: GUN would NEVER let Sonic go get Robotnik again, they blackbooked him HARD for a reason. So I am highly inclined to believe that while Sonic may START working for GUN because they ask for his help, they are not going to stay amicable for the whole movie (especially given the fact that we see soldiers around Maria's dead body and somebody is going to tell Sonic about that) But clearly they aren't going to give something like that away in the first 2 minute trailer guys.

Gerald is here. I don't have a great answer for this one aside from the fact that they needed someone to play Eggman's role from SA2, and Eggman himself isn't set up to do it. Theoretically, SOMEONE had to bust Shadow out of GUN prison, and having Gerald be a hologram or robot or something set up to take revenge on GUN later would make a lot of sense. It's also possible that he was also frozen or stasis-ified and got let out once GUN figured out Project Shadow still existed and then took his revenge idk we'll just have to see won't we?

This is just a random last point but...if you go back and watch the first trailers for either of the other Sonic movies, they are VERY different from what we actually saw and LOADS of stuff is either massively changed or majorly taken out of context so...that could be good or bad.

In conclusion: we'll just have to wait and see, but these are my thoughts and predictions woo!

Fun features of my new phone:

the built-into-the-screen fingerprint reader only works about every third time I put my finger on it (I know this will get better with time, but it's still annoying. The old hardware fingerprint reader worked flawlessly from day one)

also sometimes the fingerprint reader randomly doesn't show up on the lockscreen at all, so I have to draw the pattern instead

sometimes THAT doesn't work either, and I have to lock and unlock the screen a few times before either thing shows up

the phone charges so slow (even when wifi is off and airplane mode is on) that sometimes I've gotten confused and thought it wasn't charging at all

touch-responsive area of screen is so wide that it "leaks" over the physical edge of the phone, so sometimes I simply pick up the phone and, in doing so, accidentally touch something on the screen and make something happen

no headphone jack, so I'll have to buy Bluetooth headphones (or an adapter, so I can keep using my old cheap wired earbuds that I got for literally free with a previous-generation phone)

by default, the phone does not indicate remaining battery life anywhere (I literally had to go into the settings and turn on the option to have this displayed on the bar at the top of the screen)

Spotify keeps randomly starting "jams". I don't know what that is or how I'm making it happen. This never happened before. I'll just be listening to some music while carrying my phone in my hand and suddenly the current song will stop halfway through and a whole different one will start, as part of a "jam" (???)

also Spotify: when I'm listening to a song on the phone and then open Spotify on my computer and click "Listen on this device instead", it starts playing on the computer but ALSO keeps playing on the phone? And there's like half-a-second delay, so the song isn't even playing simultaneously in both places? (needless to say: this never happened with my old phone, although I do this all the time)

and sometimes stuff I tap on the screen just randomly won't respond until I've tapped it multiple times

JUST LET ME KEEP MY OLD TECHNOLOGY, I AM BEGGING YOU :'(((

Okay incoming rant about the kdrama goblin under the cut

To note: i am currently right after episode 7 so i do not have all the info

I find the main couple's dynamic REALLY icky and honestly I can't suspend my concerns for the sake of the story..

The main girl had been told she would be the Goblin's bride since she was a literal CHILD, she has no friends, no support system and no one to look out for her.

Her only place to live is the Goblin's house which means she has to bend to his every whim even the ones he thinks are as a joke. And sure WE might assume he wouldn't actually kick her out but SHE doesn't know that.

The only other people in her life are; the guy tasked with killing her, Sunny (i love her but girl is too busy with.. life(?) to care for a teenager) and the Chaebol who only listens to the Goblin and the grandpa (who only listens to the Goblin)..

Literally her life and her stability and her ability to be housed, fed and able to study entirely relies on the guy she's been told she would marry since forever.

She is NINETEEN YEARS OLD!!!

He is 937!!!!!

She is entirely dependent on him, as been led to believe (not wrongly but still) that he needs her not for her but for the sword thing (WHICH SHE STILL DOESNT KNOW ACTUALLY DOES).

This is like the perfect setting for the worst power dynamic ever for the most dangerous relationship ever.

He calls her "child" even in his head.

He KNOWS she's a literal kid particularly compared to him.

He still acts like a jealous toddler when she tries to meet people, gives her the silent treatment followed by love bombing, went to try to intimidate a guy (WHO HE KNEW WHEN HE WAS A TODDLER) because she was happy to see him??????????

He literally almost killed her with a little push.

The 'saving her' moment was supposed to look romantic but honestly it's horrifying how much power he holds over her at all time when she's so young and so alone and so dependent.

She literally felt badly enough to work two jobs as well as school to try to get a place to avoid his mistreatment!!!

and like it's supposed to be played as 'teasing' and 'jealousy' and 'emotional' but honestly it grosses me out.

He gets mad if she asks questions (most things), if she doesn't ask questions (particularly when it rains), if she tries to see him or if she tries to avoid him.

AM I SUPPOSED TO ROOT FOR THEM??????????????

Literally only watching for Mr. grimreaper and Sunny because the main couple gives me hives rn
