#LIKE HELLO? HELLO? am i CRAZY?

[skyburger]

did you guys know that in the TWENTY YEARS since the first call of duty came out. more than half of those years, the best-selling game of the year (according to wikipedia) was a call of duty game. and since 2009, when cod: modern warfare 2 came out, and was the best-selling game of that year? cod has only been beaten out in sales THREE TIMES since then. once by grand theft auto v (expected), once by read dead redemption 2 (again expected), and most recently in 2023 by h*gwarts fucking legacy. wii sports resort, which sold over FOUR MILLION COPIES, is fucking nothing compared to that year's cod (sold nearly SIX million). cod beat out pokémon b/w and fucking skyrim in 2011. gta5 beat it out in 2013, but thete are TWO separate cod games before minecraft made that list (fair, it's probably sold more copies in total since then, but minecraft made a HUGE splash in 2013). cod beat out breath of the wild* AND mario odyssey* AND mario kart 8 deluxe* in 2017. rdr2 beat out cod in 2018 but it's still fucking second place! IT BEAT OUT SMASH BROS ULTIMATE! in 2020? it beat out fucking animal crossing new horizons*. IT SOLD MORE THAN ELDEN RING IN 2022. like i've never heard a fucking peep out of cod fans. ive heard SO much from players of like ALL these other games. WHO ARE THESE MYSTERIOUS COD PLAYERS WHO IS BUYING AND PLAYING THESE GAMES IVE NEVER MET SOMEONE WHO LIKES COD THIS MUCH!!!

* digital sales were not included for this one according to wikipedia (but tbh i still think cod would've beat it out anyway)

i’ve never so violently wanted the entire world to Look At This Thing as i do with the silt verses

it’s truly one of my favorite fictional works like. ever. and i’m constantly fighting the urge to grab everyone i see by the shoulders and start shaking them while aggressively begging them to listen to it because what else do i do with myself after experiencing something like this

okay no offense but i’m not a fan of Five finding his “real life” dolores. like, that diva was literally a coping mechanism for him. a tangible reminder that he was so lonely that he made a literal piece of plastic his companion. i think the idea of it is sweet but at the end of the day i think that if Five did find someone romantically it should be someone that makes him feel silly and carefree, not someone that is a fleshy replica of an Apocalyptic Souvenir

so crazy to me that i've seen basically No posts mentioning how little attention was given to laudna after we hit the 1hr mark of the ep. remember when laudna was resurrected in whitestone and marisha was given the space to do the most showstoppingly brilliant meaningful rp for 2 hours straight. and this time they actually potentially reached the conclusion of her hugely complicated character arc and everyone said "let's celebrate laudna's freedom!" and proceeded to not talk to her for the rest of the night. i feel like i'm being gaslit

I’m away on a trip rn, so you all have as a very special mission to share splatfest pics of Off the Hook with me okay 👁️👁️🫵

I want it in reblogs, comments, laser-beamed into my brain, whatever medium of delivery it is!

Okay I know I said I was going to stay offline for a while because headache, but I just had the most horrible thought and have to share.

You know the piano on Drag Me Under? The rhythm at which the keys are pressed? Is it just me, or it sounds eerily like a heartbeat? HEAR ME OUT.

I'm not saying it's supposed to sound like that, and I'm aware the tempo is slightly off from the normal/usual heartbeat rate BUT. What if it is? What if you look at it from that perspective?

In the lyrics, Vessel says that they are lying down together. What if this is his/his lover's heartbeat, like when you rest your head on someone's chest and can feel it echo in you?

If he is indeed being dragged down, maybe this is the final moment before the descent? Into Them or down under, I'm not sure. "To merely behold you" - what if this is him remembering their last encounter before They abandoned him? Before Atlantic took place? Since they can't be together? Since the rhythm bleeds nicely into Blood Sport, their parting song? The one before the Big Sad? Does this make sense or am I crazy??

the stark difference between this october and last october has my head spinning 360 degrees tbh.

like last october was so joyful and so rich and so beautiful and i would give anything to do it all again, whereas this october is like back to back to back horrors l m a o

dan and phil could say out loud in a video “please stop claiming to know the nature of our current relationship, we’re choosing not to share it online, and you do not know everything about our lives, so fuck off” and some fans would still respond “omg yeah, real fans can tell they’re in a romo relationship because they make it obvious, stop asking them to hard launch 🙄 if you know you know”

what kind of sauce are they putting in the link click audio drama. HELLO? THE LITERAL LAST SCENE OF THE LAST EPISODE?

程小时: 说起来，我们第一次见面，也是在篮球场吧。 陆光: 是啊。 程小时: 你我本无缘，全靠一颗球。 陆光: 我就不该答应你比那场。

cheng xiaoshi: speaking of which, the first time we met was also on a basketball court, wasn't it? lu guang: it was. cheng xiaoshi: (half-jokingly) you and i weren't meant to be [lit. "originally have no fate"?]. this is all because of one basketball. lu guang: i really shouldn't have agreed to play that match.

(the important bits are from google translate because i am bad at mandarin. also i did transcribe this off just the audio + i don't have access to captions or know where to find official transcripts. so i hope i got this right 🙏)

Every day I get closer to making an unhinged behemoth of a post listing all of the things about Kaeya and his possible connections to mythology & stuff that I notice but NOBODY ELSE SEEMS TO BRING UP IN THEIR THEORIES

(edit: OMG I reached the tag limit I'm so sorry)
