#Saturday morning problems

[rubenesque-as-fuck]

I know I should get up and Do Things but it's so so so comfy and cozy in my warm bed 🥺

the whole "Sunny is autistic" headcanon is rather... interesting to look at when you consider how the game's narrative frames him. sure let's headcanon the kid whom his friends treat like an infant and compare to a pet animal as autistic. because it's not like that would create any kind of unfortunate implications right

(what's weirder is that Sunny apparently isn't even bothered by those comments. idk about OMORI fans but if I learned my friends think of me as a little child or heard them compare my behavior to someone's pet I'd be very offended lol)

Two sides of the coin (I think).

losing my mind rn WHERE THE FUCK IS CUPS IN TWO HOURS IT WILL BE

idk man i'm bad at math and very forgetful as a rule but I think it will be 36h? possibly 48?? not sure but the point is that I should have heard about him??? did he deceived me? am I the first player to be fooled?? GIVE ME THE OPTION TO GO BACK TO HIS SANCTUM OR ELSE

Granted I have the overall geographical and cultural knowledge of a 4th grader but from what I can tell the nuclear family model really does seem to be a white colonial invention

Different cultures have different approaches but I mainly hear about either large family units where multiple generations support each other and raise their children and grandchildren together or an "it takes a village" approach where children are raised somewhat communally

And I can't really speak on it much or claim that these families were free of abuse or that children aren't often an oppressed group basically everywhere I know of but the way ownership of your children is so engrained into white society is so bizarre

Like once you notice it you can't unnotice it even the most loving well meaning parents don't know what to do about it because everyone is so isolated from their own families and their own communities so you wind up with 1-2 parents who have full legal ownership of their child and are raised in a culture where you don't have personhood until you're 18 and all attempts at self actualization before them are seen as clueless rebellion. Like our culture is so divorced from the concept that a parent is someone who is helping mentor and care for their child so they can thrive as a fellow human being and it's actually so alarming

And ik this problem isn't unique to white and colonized people but it's honestly really soothing to hear about how other cultures approach and view parenting and community as a whole and to internalize it doesn't have to be this way

READ a wicked tale of cinderellas stepmom

Getting angry at how the writers Jinn favored team rwby with a whole ass cinematic exposition dump while shrugging Oz's question off with two words. She doesn't even grant him the courtesy of a hint! Would it really have been that hard for her to add some sort of clarification like "you cannot defeat her but you can guide the simple soul that can" or "should you find yourself with silver eyes, you may have a chance"?

If that Ozcarnation came before the schools' conception, it would add so much more meaning to them and throw far more shade on Oz than lying and magic birds

The universe loves me

[thegoodmorningman]

The first step to not dealing with it, is not acknowledging that it exists!!!

The Fallacy of Relative Privation, comic by Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

[idleorbitals]

ok here we. fokking go

sand going "what am I supposed to be, your hooker" and ray saying "sure" and sand doing soft surprised pikachu for like ten seconds. ray doubling down and sand telling him to save it. instead of saying "I don't sleep with people for money" he says "I sleep with people I like for free" and we send silent thanks to screenwriters who understand the sex industry and have the cultural vocabulary to write compelling nuanced and still quippy conversations about sex. not to be heterophobic but queer people make better tv

anyway sandray are both playing a game and they both keep getting surprised to be one-upped. this is a very enjoyable dynamic to watch and they seem to be enjoying it too

...for now

at minute 8:30 sand's last vocal sound leaves his mouth. for thirty full seconds ray smokes and asks him leading flirty questions including "am I interesting enough for you?" and "are you open to someone like me?" and for thirty full seconds sand looks from rays right eye to his left eye and back again and lowers and raises his jaw infinitesimally and just generally:

this boy is done for and I can't even be mean about it I'm right there with him

anyway at shortly after minute 9 they break the tension and kiss each other. they kiss each other! ray is the one leaning around from his cigarette to do khaotung's little smoke plume of high art but sand is very much matching him in coming in for this kiss. I love this framing so much. firstkhao have the absolutely ideal dynamic to pull this off*

*if anyone saw that one person copy pasting SANDRAYYYY SWITCHHH into the live comment box the entire end credits that wasn't me but I was there with them in spirit
