I feel like it's gonna be a challenge for the new Voltron live action movie to top the mecha design in Pacific Rim (2013). But if they can make the Voltron mecha look half as cool as the mechas in the first Pacific Rim movie, I'll probably watch it
#Voltron#Pacific Rim#Pacific Rim was a love song to the mecha genre#So I'm actually kinda curious about how the Voltron team will design the lions#Voltron could look either really cool or be extremely cringe#my expectations for this movie overall are pretty low but please for the love of god let the mecha be badass at least#Anyone else thinking they'll watch this thing when it comes out?

in light of the news that riot games is letting go 11% of their workers (over 500 people), including long time workers responsible for big parts of the best lore in the entire league ip, AND cutting down LoR AND abandoning Riot Forge (the best idea they had in years lol)-
i stopped playing league a long time ago for multiple reasons, but one of the big ones were my annoyance with the increasingly shit ass monetization (thats only getting WORSE and MORE exploitative) and my frustration with its constant boring ass design decisions (like every new champ being either sexy girly girl that looks like all of the rest of them or sexy guy thats also starting to have the same problem plus all skins putting female champs in just another dress no matter how monsterfied the male champs were-) with my only interest in it being the lore and the attachment i felt to certain characters
im not even really interested in arcane anymore .. i was looking forward to it bc i like fortiches work alot but given how riot immedaitely wanted to make it canon (a dumb and stupid idea) after the first season was successful, which already made it less enjoyable for me, this is just ... idk, what does it matter
these news together with how bafflingly badly written totk was and its subpar quality (especialyl for that PRICE) that made me fear the future of loz yet it was still wildly sucessful (we deserve better than this!!), the recent commercial success of the plagiarism pokemon slavery/trafficking game and the general situation of the games industry, with AI rampant and CEOs sucking it up to shareholders only, constant massive lay offs everywhere in every studio
i have little hope left there will be new, good, games from big studios .. what an exhausting shitty world we live in
#ganondoodles talks#random#personal#save me good indie games#good indie games....#good indie games save me ..#im well aware that there are more important things than video games#but this just adds to the oeverall exhausting feeling of everything everywhere in every industry and every part of the world getting worse#like fuck#cant soemthing good be happening for once#maybe less death and destruction#both literally and in an artistical sense#genuinely not looking forward to anything anymore#im not gonna dare to hope for a new good loz game bc hell it will be years and totk was a grim view into the future of the franchise#i dont want to be disappointed like this again-#i wanna mention again that i set my expectation extremely low for totk- all i wanted was a sequel to botw- or just a good game#and my god was it not#dont try to argue with me#im angry and tired

one thing i have to hand to people online who leave reviews on obviously low budget westerns is that at least they don't complain that it's an obviously low budget western. it seems that i can't say this for some of the people leaving reviews on obviously low budget queer movies
#i do have a specific movie in mind right now. yes. but it's not vagueposting anymore if i tell you it's long time no see (2017)#'their relationship moves too fast' this whole thing is 76 minutes what were you setting yourself up for#'it's like a fanfic' maybe ambitious gay romance action stories feel like fanfic to you because that's often the only place we get them#'it's cringe' 'it's mid' 'it felt rushed' it's a korean low budget queer movie (or miniseries) from 2017 about hitmen who fall in love!!!#give yourself a break and realize you may need to calibrate your expectations accordingly. because if you do this fucks#and even if it's not for you (which is fine! always!) then please. i beg of you. allow space for the fact that even as recently as 2017#this (a queer romance action drama with a happy ending) essentially Did Not Exist. and consider they may have done A Lot with what they had#(2017! it predates history3 trapped (2019). it predates the old guard (2020). it way predates kinnporsche (2022). i could go on)#(( < a weird list extremely & deeply worthy of interrogation. but i'm physically wrenching my own hands away to avoid typing 1000 tags))#((... and i'm not kidding about 'could go on'. i have compiled a very messy list and i'm THIS close to starting a spreadsheet. my god))#*#special bad take prize for anyone complaining that they have sex too soon btw. there's so much to unpack there

Have you visited latin america, or would you like to? Love your photography so much btw, have a nice day 🙏❤️
Thank you!! I have been and I will definitely go back in the future. I was an exchange student in Puerto Rico for a semester in uni and fell in love (even though my Spanish left much to be desired at the time), then between two trips in 2014 + 2016 I spent a few months in the provinces and countries between Mexico City and Bogotá. Now I like to stare wistfully at the rest of the map and dream...

#if i had to live long-term somewhere that is not taiwan it'd probably be mexico tbh#spanish has never been my strongest foreign language but it's tolerable now#or at least native speakers with low expectations have been pleasantly surprised they can understand me#my chinese landlord in pattaya asked once if i wanted to come on a 2 week road trip across the whole of south america#but a) that felt extremely rushed b) we'd never met in person and c) covid restrictions were ongoing!#however this does remind me of a very old and neglected dream to motorcycle the pan american highway#i should probably learn to scooter in taiwan first#ask#anon#answer

#man one of the worst things about having complex mental health issues#as in: very severe and pervasive#is the way you get physical chronic illnesses from them#like i had a breakdown on sunday night just gone due a trauma anniversary#and now that my mind has take its foot off the gas and i’ve come out of that high stress period#my body has just collapsed#and i know this happens to other people with other things ofc#but anyone with BPD/CPTSD/PTSD etc etc can attest to how fucking CONSTANT these illnesses are#the fatigue! the mind fog! the headaches and the nausea and the sore eyes (????) and the aches and pains#it is SO weird and so fucking upsetting that it just triggers another episode#and people say ‘are you sure its not just a regular cold?’ when i live in a tiny apartment with my partner who#when i *actually* get a cold#also gets that cold#and low and behold when i have an episode and then get sick?#they don’t have it#no one around me is ill#just me#and it’s so tiring! stop! leave me alone! i hate this!#fun fact:#people with BPD have significantly more chance of having chronic physical illness because of the extreme toll that BPD takes on the body#you literally experience things SO intensely mentally that it hurts you physically#(not exclusive to bpd but you understand my point)#we have a life expectancy that’s reduced by like 20 years too#i love it here everyone say thank you mum and dad#oh and the leading cause of death is suicide LMAO that’s crazy#i think it’s 1 in 10?#the mean life expectancy is actually 27!

DO I HAVE TO CHANGE THE SHRINE OF RESURRECTION FOR THIS AU??
#found out the low res text wrapping around links bed says ‘care unit’#care units or icu s (intensive care units) are actually a real thing!!!!!! ao do critical care units which is what i assume the SoR is#on one hand its an extremely cool detail and kind of notes how this facility wasnt used for general health problems though thats kind of ob#vious. this also implies link was close to death but probably not dead#though. liberties. and also irl icus have actual doctors and nurses There Physically to help the patient they dont just. leave them alone#with life support like with link#also assuming that the bed was half life support is an interesting train of thought#actually. maybe that was why it took so long because link needed more maintenance#THOUGH THATS ALL SPECULATION!!! botw isnt as grounded/deep as it pretends to be and. it Is called the shrine of Ressurection so#my point was depending on Why the shrine was built to begin with. the canon one mmmmmight not revive wreath#which. i have no idea considering this is fantasy and theres no info on how the SoR actually works (which. yeah kind of expected)#also my train of thought thought that link Was alive so would a care unit work on wreath. but also link couldve very much been dead#who knows!!! sorry anywags

I felt like experimenting with my style a little today and gave Reginald clothes! Specifically, I gave him the outfit I had him wear in this one shot that I wrote; it doesn't come across very well, but it was fun to do, so I'll give it that. Who doesn't want to see Reginald in a dress (or in this case, an outfit that's both a dress and a suit)? Unfortunately, I think my style isn't cut out for anything more complicated than this (and believe me, it was complicated), so I probably won't do many more like this. Just thought I'd share it!
#thsc#the henry stickmin collection#reginald copperbottom#beauty and the beast#my art#to give him “clothes” I just colored his body#which I think looks pretty good for what it is#it'll never compare to actual clothes#but it can be fun to experiment if you keep your expectations for yourself low#she said#despite having extremely high expectations for herself#hyperlink#copperright#technically#there's a hyperlink to a copperright fic in the post#self promotion#kind of

Realistic expectations for the direct:
Info on some random-ass event in Pokémon go
Café mix upcoming event
New unite cosmetics or whatever
Sleep update
Detective Pikachu 2 second trailer/gameplay
Anniversary pairs for pokemas (probably either protags, or antags to celebrate the villain arc - likely Giovanni, Archie and/or Maxie since the last two just had master fair reruns)
Further look into sv teal mask dlc
What I WANT the direct to be:
Further look into teal mask dlc
Anniversary pairs for pokemas (but one of them is volo)
Pla update
Mystery dungeon
Mystery dungeon
Mystery dungeon
Mystery dungeon
Idk another detective pikachu movie could be cool ig
Mystery dungeon
#tbh movie is my strongest realistic guess for the m since it's got the neon aesthetic like the first movie#but i still wanna keep my expectations even lower than that#i saw one person on YouTube suggest mewtwo raids in sv and that's extremely boring and that guess sucks but#keeping expectations extremely low and boring is probably a good idea lol

You know, I totally understand. I enjoyed last month so much and i was looking forward to TLS but now feel sad and miss him already
Yeah, I really wasn't expecting much from The Long Shadow and sometimes it sucks to be right. 😅I legit went to bed last night lowkey sad that was the last we'd be seeing of him for awhile.
BUT! I don't know if you're on Discord but it's just been discovered that he's going to be in an upcoming show, it's a new credit on his agency's listing.
With that said, no one knows yet how big the role will prove to be but here's a link with a bit more information about what to expect from the show (mini series):
#gonna go the safe route and keep extremely low expectations#great timing on updating that page though it immediately turned my frown upside down

ok but actually I need to start keeping track of how many times I try for Cinder Surprise. i've had an amazing stupid idea for a joke. and the longer it takes to catch, the funnier it will be.
#i feel like this is going to reverse jinx me and i'll catch it on like my second try.#i'm not kidding though like i genuinely want it to take fucking ages. it will be SO FUNNY.#please. i am willing to suffer for the bit. the suffering is a CRUCIAL PART of the bit.#ardwin tag#ffxiv#context for those unfamiliar with Advanced Fishing:#Cinder Surprise is absolutely infamous as one of the hardest fish to catch in the game so far.#EXTREMELY low weather + time availability. EXTREMELY low bite rate. everyone calls it the Evil Egg.#i've only tried for it once so far.#i expect to try for it many more times.

Yeah, so I was going to put this on and then write or whatever while it played in the background. And then I didn't look away from the screen for like an hour.
It's a commitment! It is a commitment. But it's also pure fucking sunshine. So if you want to feel happy and then maybe dance a bit and annoy your cat for an hour... This is it. This is the one. Watch Daði Freyr at Pinkpop and have a good time.
Honestly, I kind of already want to go back and start it over again.
#daði freyr#my only complaint is that the vocals are a little low in the mix which is a shame with a voice like his#man can SING#and play keyboards and bass and guitar and drum a little bit#and TONS of stage presence i was not expecting#he's just a delight#he is a motherfucking delight#i am so happy he was wearing sunscreen for this and i hope everyone else was too#that's a lot of redheadedness on that stage in what appears to be a very hot sun#anyway get into daði freyr he is ridiculously talented and just so so good#and extremely fun#Youtube

loool I did not just read a comment that said "I hope there won't be any politics in the Fallout live action show!"
Politics? In Fallout? No way!
#I mean knowing todd is involved it's gonna be so watered down#I don't have high hopes for this show#I might get pleasantly surprised but I'm keeping my expectations extremely low#chatter

tfw u show up to the dr appointment and you haven't eaten in like 48 full hours and they ask you about your eating habits and you say you fast pretty often in accident because your stimulant messes up your hunger response
and they just look you up and down clearly not believing you before starting The Weight Loss Conversation™ and get told that fasting will guarantee you weight loss
#God I wish#I've only ever been able to lose weight on extremely low calories#I can lose a bit of weight per week on a sub 800 calorie diet#I can lose weight at the rate expected of most people if I cut it even more#Like if I literally don't eat every other day on sub 800#Neither of those are sustainable#And they usually end up with me binging like the fat person people think I am#I'm currently maintaining my weight#I only drink 0 calorie and 0 sugar#I eat one meal a day at around the 1000 calorie mark#And I eat a snack around 100-200 calories around 3pm because otherwise I get nauseous#But I'm fat still so no one believes me#Man I've been fat my whole life#Parents put me on diets and shit from the time I entered kindergarten#When I was in third grade and only gaining weight they decided this wasn't working#And started making me just skip meals#Until I was 12 or 13 they fed me the same size portions I fed the 5 year olds when I worked at a daycare#I remember learning what kind of foods the kids at school hated at the lunch line#So I would have something to eat at lunch#Or I remember scrounging around for quarters so I could actually buy some food#I remember church having pizza parties and catering events#And overeating to the point of vomiting#Only to clean up and eat more because I didn't know how long it would be#Even as a teenager#Parents would order out getting nice steak meals#And not get me anything when there's nothing even at home to eat#Sometimes they'd eat out and they'd come back with like half a chicken breast and a pile of veggies for me#Most of my childhood I barely thought of the weight aspect#I just knew I was hungry and needed to figure out how to get food#As a teen I started eating like they said because I was ashamed and it still didn't make me lose weight
