I think the Pitt's biggest victory is having its entire group of main and supporting characters feel like real people you know and interact with. You don't get a lot of shows that have such depth in storytelling when saying so little at times with characters who all consistently behave like the complicated and layered people we all are.

#the pitt #now i don't think having larger than life characters is a bad thing at all #quite the opposite in fact #but i see this in procedurals especially where they intend to capture aspects of reality and end up somewhere very south of that #so to have this show do it so well and especially so consistently for an entire season is exemplary #i hope screenwriters of current and future procedurals take note

happy birthday to me and also the end of an era

hello, everyone, long time no see.

i created this blog in the midst of a very toxic relationship, and a lot of my previous writings reflect the state I was in during that time. i am currently in a time of healing and figuring myself out- and so in the meantime i've decided to abandon the previous theme of this blog. i know it was its main selling point for many, but ultimately this blog was never meant to be seen by so many eyes. here's to what the future holds.

#not ur big sis #toxic yuri to healthy yaoi pipeline #im not detransitioning #quite the opposite in fact #dont be weird #still a blog for weirdos

okay i just randomly started thinking about this, but we know in welcome to dreamworld some of the animatronics DO have tracks and support beams and such, meaning their range of mobility is limited. specifically glory and starlight.

but everyone else can just like,,, walk around. just go anywhere. is that not a bit off putting?

like you could just be standing there and this 7 foot tall lemur with 4 arms just like walks up to you as if it's just a living person.

does nobody else find this odd???

#its not that i dont like it #no no no #quite the opposite in fact #just like these HUGE fucking robots just walking around #like its totally normal #thats hillarious #dreamworld #welcome to dreamworld #wtdw

Obviously, Olivia’s mom’s nickname, “Charlie”, being gender neutral is no coincidence. So it could be easily given to a robo, or something of the sorts.

Here’s hoping Olivia comes across a robo she warms up to, eventually earning them the name Charlie before she gets GOOFED UP and BETRAYED and—

failure and futility

for day 2 of campfire fest! prompt: third eye (and i guess could also count for explosion, or a lack thereof lol) @outerwilds-events

#i meant to do something yesterday but i had a crazy shift at work and was feeling lazy lol #anyways. pye and idaea after the probe didn't work #this line of text is the first thing that comes to mind for 'third eye' for me bc its the only evidence/in-game mention of the nomai's -#- third eye being special/different from the other two in some way. im curious if it is actually composed differently and has better vision #or if it is just better for seeing fine details in things directly in front of them since it is forward-facing as opposed to -#- being on the sides of their head #also i just think about these two a lot. can you imagine being co-leaders of the most difficult and controversial part of a massive project #that is so important to so many people including your friends family members and ancestors who have died in search of what you are -#- going to potentially destroy your entire clan while attempting to find #you are building a weapon intended to destroy yourself and the entire star system you were born in #and your co-leader is the person with quite possibly the most opposite opinions and disposition to you #idaea having to grapple with the fact that the failure of something he never wanted to exist in the first place is still upsetting to him -#- because despite their differences he still sympathizes with pye who was so confident and wanted it to work so badly #and both of them as well as anyone else working at the sun station put so much time and energy into constructing it #and that work was so miserable due both to the heat and the tension due to their differing opinions and their own mixed feelings on it #pye having to admit defeat to everyone else working on the project who were so excited for this to finally give them the answer #in front of idaea who was so convinced that it was a bad idea and who she was probably desperate to prove wrong #in front of the entire crew of people who had spent probably months in miserable working conditions #after she had been so confident that it would work and so insistent that this was the only way #and she had to admit not only that it failed but that it couldn't possibly work. that deep down she knew and had probably known for a while #- that it would never work and had continued working on it anyway because she wanted it to work so bad #anyways. the fucking brainworms #tried out a new style for this and i really like how it turned out #outer wilds #outer wilds spoilers #outer wilds nomai #frostgnaw draws

I love how selfish spike is. his love isn't "unselfish" it's SO selfish

when he tries to be good it is always for an ulterior purpose. even if that purpose may not be evil, it's certainly not unselfish. you think he'd give a shit about dawn if she wasn't buffy's entire world? do you lot remember how quickly he dropped her when buffy started fucking him? even if we want to talk about the beginning of s6 that was out of guilt and obligation. and I'm not saying he didn't care about anyone else there because he definitely did, but he wouldn't have been there if not FOR buffy

he enjoys buffy happy because he does love her, yes, and her joy is a beautiful to him. but he likes her upset just as well too. he revels in buffy's suffering. he likes her hurt and he likes that she hurts him and he likes to hurt her. it's a language he understands, that he enjoys. he just likes her in whatever way will make her pay attention to him longer

I'll freely admit that he's emotionally supportive for her, which is something she needs desperately. but a lot of the times that's just when he himself isn't being someone who's actively deciding to tear her down. either way, as long as he's affecting her on some tangible level that makes him feel like he matters to her, he doesn't particularly care if it's for the better or the worse

I've just seen a lot of people call him unselfish and I don't agree. at all. probably ever. I don't know if this is a common fandom idea or if I've done that thing again where I've stumbled across a minority that I can't escape, but. just putting my opinion on it out there I suppose

#I just don't like... how... spike is not a good guy. he is never the good guy #he just does good things occasionally bc he wants buffy to love him #in fact he's really quite awful. but a lot of the time I see people make spike out to be his own sort of hero #and it just irritates me a tiny bit #until you reach s7 and up I honestly honestly think spike is irredeemable. and it's GREAT it's great this is not a bad thing #I LOVE how awful he is. guys! vampire!!!#even in s7 spike was one of the WORST vampires in HISTORY. we surely could've played with this more... if only we had the time I guess #this isn't spuffy bashing btw. c'mon now I adore spuffy more than anything #but I don't want them watered-down. I like them they as they unhealthy and all #I think he was his most unselfish with drusilla tbh. and that was... different... even on its own. but never with buffy #not to bring another fandom into this but the only truly unselfish character I have ever seen in my life is scott mccall from teen wolf imo #and that's ONLY bc stiles was LITERALLY selfish FOR him. it's like a whole thing they're each other's opposites #to be unselfish is Difficult. and it doesn't have to be a bad thing either. but I don't like it tossed around like it's TRUE #spuffy #spike btvs #btvs #buffy the vampire slayer

*picking the purple option with lucanis' mind caterina to call her on her bullshit in the vain hope that maybe something subliminal might get through in the long run* it ain't much but it's honest work

#like. does he need comfort in this moment. yes. can I bear to hear her go 'my poor boy...' like she must have done a thousand times #when she was in fact the reason for his poor boyness. no. we've come too far for false comfort here I think this needs to cHANGE #I can't be a collaborateur in this we'll get you some other support structures yet if it kills me lucanis b/c this is grim #(I do like the 'the little boy you raised' phrasing in the 'nice' option a lot though. even though it's like... no. no I don't think #that her turning him away is ever going to be the problem. quite the opposite perhaps. but interesting that it is something #that he he clearly IS afraid of and worries might happen)#dragon age #dragon age: the veilguard #dragon age: the veilguard spoilers #dragon age spoilers #lucanis dellamorte #caterina dellamorte #unwell about dellamortes over breakfast again. not that I was ever gone but we are also so back

I'm sure you know this but it might be nice to hear after that bizarre ask: I am not trans myself but I know SO many trans Jews, including converts and non-converts, who love being trans and love being Jewish and do not find any contradiction between those things! And many have written beautiful things about what it means to be trans and Jewish and how those things actually fit together and can enrich their personal understanding of God! And I think that person MIGHT have been asking in good faith but if you want to ask something in good faith you probably shouldn't include the bit where you tell them they're a mistake or that their conversion isn't valid :/

It reminds me of a quote that I learned a few years ago actually has roots in jewish philosophy:

"As my friend Julian puts it, only half winkingly: 'God blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason God made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine, so that humanity might share in the act of creation.'"

My jewish trans friends have been instrumental in helping me accept, understand, and embrace my transness, and this quote especially was meaningful to me when I first saw it. This is my view, but I think there is something beautiful about g-d intentionally leaving parts of us which must be cultivated and created by us. G-d leaves room for us to speak, He lets us rise to the occasion, lets us see what a beautiful universe it is that we live in. And that includes the act of creation that being trans is.

#ask #jumblr #trans jews #queer jews #personal thoughts tag #i don't believe g-d does things unintentionally or by accident. my transness is not an accident or a misdirection g-d took #i have learned so much about my transness and it brought me closer to g-d #when g-d created wheat and we made it into bread we did not say that g-d made a mistake #in fact it was quite the opposite. we were able to create because g-d did so first #i was able to create myself because g-d dared to do so first. and i will always celebrate that #i love g-d precisely because of that. because g-d *is* creation. because g-d creates.#thank you for giving me an excuse to talk about The Most Quote ever🩵🩵🩵

that's the thing: the 1d6 option is for when you're short on actions and still need to shoot somebody.

the REAL damage comes from spinning up the barrels with a Quick Action, then using a Full Action your next turn for *ahem*

4d6+4 damage

Why do I keep seeing people talking about I Saw The TV Glow saying things like “it will destroy your life” and “you shouldn’t watch it if you’re old, because then it’ll be too late.” Like my brother in christ, did we watch the same fucking movie??

#I finished the movie like an hour ago so The Feelings are still fresh #but still #it's insane to me that you watched that whole movie and THAT is what you took away from it #when the messaging was in fact quite the opposite #it's meant to show you that no matter how old you get there is still time #it's never too late #as long as you're still living and breathing it is never “too late”#I Saw The TV Glow #ISTTVG #ISTTG #mxpotatoposts

this might just reveal things about my own personal taste, but I feel like mxtx is at her best when she's writing a relationship that is absolutely fucked. just a real psychosexual freakshow. the love was there and it made things worse. guys falling in love with the person whose demise they're supposed to be orchestrating. that sort of thing.

#her normal romances are nice and all #but in both mdzs and tgcf my favorite arcs were the ones focusing on the fucked up side characters #yi city was my first exposure to this and i remember being like HELLO??? DID ANYONE SEE THAT??? HELLO #and then again in tgcf with black water arc #my jaw was on the ground. i was both horrified and delighted #the funny thing is that the closest equivalent to this in svsss. is in fact the main couple lol #theyre not QUITE the same #in the case of xuexiao and beefleaf we've got xy and hx falling in love with the guy whose demise theyre trying to orchestrate #while xxc and sqx are oblivious to the psychological torment until everything goes wrong at the end #but in bingqiu's case the opposite is true #sqq THINKS binghe is trying to orchestrate his demise #but binghe is just aggressively trying to express his love and inadvertently psychologically tormenting him in the process #but it's the closest equivalent to the other two #and i like it. mxtx writes that sort of thing very well lol #it helps that the guy doing the tormenting is ultimately pretty pathetic about it #we know all about binghe's patheticness of course #then we've got xy being like i will torment xxc >:) [lives in domestic bliss for three years & immediately regrets driving him to suicide]#and hx playing the long game to get revenge for YEARS AND YEARS #only to fumble at the LAST SECOND and he doesnt even manage to kill sqx #lol. lmao even. point and laugh at black water sinking ships

I mean it when i say vivziepop's leviathan design made me consider electrocuting the short term memory out of my brain

I was so disappointed with Leviathan design. I was hoping they would be a type of antagonist cause you know envy? So lame.

EXACTLY! I was hoping, HOPING the design would be something cool... But no, no she's just a suburban white blonde mom. Why couldn't the purple head be the only head? That would've at least made me neutral on it!!!!!! Because at least ITS SOMETHING! and not just a citizen bg character :/ but even then the bg characters have more interesting complex designs then this and that is fucking sad

#take it from a CERTIFIED #leviathan enjoyer #this aint it #quite the opposite in fact #made me legitimately sad
