#TO BE CLEAR I MEAN THE RIDE

I hate Disney BUT the haunted mansion will always have a special place in my heart <33

Regarding previous post about disco horse: I really appreciate that everyone is actually talking for once, but a kind of jab happened on my mental health so I have to step away. It isn't from this post, but the reason is sort of connected

Again, I personally find no problems with the DLC except for how Radahn ship came from nowhere and can justify how that comes. But regardless of how many things anyone else dislikes about the DLC: you are valid to hate it as much as you want, but when you start insulting people who loved/accepted/justified the DLC as "media illiterate fromsoft dickriders who keeps coping even after the honeymoon phase passed" and variation I draw the line. There are many ways where other fans can find reason where you didn't and there is potential in new lore that you won't use. Absurd how some people are still willing to support illusory narrative that Radahn Redditor simps are the "worst" part of the fandom when not even at their most arrogant and annoying they can dream to reach HALF of the toxicity cultish Miquella/Malenia fans have, over the awful crime of having different readings, opinions and priorities.

And yes, I know it is inevitable that Tumblr and Twitter fans WOULD make a moral/intellectual/maturity contest out of how people feel about the DLC (🤡🤡🤡), but it hurts when people I actually don't want to butt heads with who start to approve of this mentality. Like, okay cool. Wallow in your elitist toxic pool of Ledas while we, "pathetic dickriders" go and "cope" somewhere else, hope everyone is more comfortable this way 🤦‍♂️ I am tired of getting hurt through endless passive aggression and I have my limits. It is just always hurtful to finally rip the bandage, even IF it is to the better. I need a hiatus for a longer time, albeit for a different reason now

Pyramid Game ending with two new girls showing up at school who intend to take Harin’s place after she got defeated is the writers showing that the bullying and hierarchies created by it are systemic problems and aren’t just going to go away by getting rid of one person. In this essay I will-

wait why are we so excited about the tape recorders what do we think it means

don't get me wrong i was just as excited as the rest of you i was acting like "tape recorder" was some kind of code item

it's not though. it's just another way for us to listen in on what the gays are doing. the reason we were using computers and electronic devices before was because the fears (or this universe's equivalent of them) have evolved to use something that is more readily available, which makes sense.

in the absence of any other electronic devices, such as in the burnt remains of the magnus institute, manchester, they went for any readily available device, the closest of which was probably a tape recorder. we know that there were tape recorders in the institute long before jon started using them for statements, perhaps even before the web started to use them (i'm kind of shaky on the lore, apologies) so as far as i can tell there's no obvious connection to be made here???

we're all well within our rights to go batshit about it, of course. but i'm not sure what it means, if anything at all. it seems like the perfect way for jonny and alex to get us excited and then go "ha! made you look!"

i have no doubt now that they are going to include some of tma into tmagp — they've included way too many references to write them all off as red herrings. but i'm not sure the tape recorder is as big a deal as we all think it is

HAPPY 10TH TO THE HOBBIT: DESOLATION OF SMAUG. December 12 to 13.

People like to say 'oooooh main character syndrome' but what kind of main character cause it's significant

(yea I know it means it's just meant to say someone's self absorbed but play with me)

Like the annoyance varies depending on what kind of main character someone thinks they are. A shounen anime main character syndrome would feel very different to me than let's say a romantic comedy main character syndrome. Or a slasher main character syndrome. Let's introduce some nuance here

Dennis is a complicated character and there's so much to think about with him, but the moment i keep coming back to, that plays in my head repeatedly, is when Corvin is like "fuck the cops is just a thing people say actually killing them is going too far" and Dennis is like "cops aren't people and they deserved it"

Dennis' biggest W

The president au was so cut :), could you do a part 2 pretty please 🩷

"Next we have to focus on the approaching summit."

"No, we should be focusing on public appearances before the turnover of awards season."

"I'm pretty sure we should be focusing on her relationship with the senate."

Thena rubbed her temples, the entirety of her personal cabinet squawking at each other over her upcoming schedule. She knew how much she had to do--she knew better than anyone.

Well, almost better than anyone.

She looked over to Gil; at least the dust cover of everyone arguing was good for something. Gil met her eyes, instinctively sensing her look. He smiled at her in sympathy, patting the schedule of hers in his hand. He was doing what he could to assure her that he had it in hand.

No one would prioritise her well being amidst all the chaos like Gil would.

"Enough!"

Sersi, Kingo and Phastos all startled as Thena spoke up from behind the desk. Sersi cleared her throat, folding in on herself already, "Th-Thena?"

"I can't do this right now," Thena sighed, looking down at the paperwork on her desk. Every letter was starting to meld together in her vision. She pressed her palms to the desk. "I need at least fifteen minutes with no one speaking to me."

Sersi pinched her lips closed, looking at her colleagues. Kingo zipped his lips closed. Phastos sighed, adjusting his glasses, "I'm sorry T, but today is packed."

"Phastos," she glared.

"You can have ten."

"I'll take it," she snapped it up eagerly, already pointing to the door. "Everyone, all of you, security."

The guards within the office traded looks, "ma'am."

"Ten minutes," she repeated with a certain bite to her tone. Secret service nodded, obeying their order no matter how reluctantly.

"We'll be right outside the door, ma'am."

"Right," she sighed, dropping her head as soon as the door was closed.

No one even noticed that Gil hadn't fallen into the crowd and followed them. "Even me?"

"Not a chance," Thena lifted her head as he snuck over to her. She looked up at him, making him make sure the blinds were closed. "Clear?"

"Clear," he smiled before leaning over, pulling her chin up to kiss her. He touched his forehead to hers, "you doin' okay?"

"This week has been," she paused, letting her sigh suffice. He nodded, kissing her again.

"It's a heavy week," he agreed quietly, mindful that they were only ever so alone, even when they were. "You're doing great."

Thena laughed faintly as he gently pushed her down into her chair again, massaging her shoulders. "You're always coaching me these days."

He kissed the back of her head. "I think I coached you a little before, anyway."

True, even when he was her personal security detail as the Vice President, he still was encouraging her between endless press appearances and meetings with Ikaris and any other requirement of the job.

"At least you could be within five feet of me," she lamented, sighing as he worked her knotted shoulders.

"I could always say my training kicked in," he suggested with a grin, leaning down over her shoulder. "It was instinctive that I dove to cover Madam President with my body."

"Gil," Thena laughed again, which was of course his goal. She turned her head to kiss him again, savouring this little window of bliss when she could just be a woman with her boyfriend instead of the pillar of the country.

"We'll get through this, Thena," he promised, tucking a stray hair or two out of her eyes.

"Hm," she neither argued nor agreed readily. It was as close to pouting as she could get these days.

"Hey," he whispered, nudging the side of her head. "Tonight? You call it a night early and call me on the secure line? I can bring a late night snack to your room."

Thena closed her eyes, already able to imagine the bliss that would be eating leftovers on the floor with her partner. "That sounds perfect."

Gil kissed the shell of her ear, "it's a date, then."

This was what qualified as a date for them, but they were lucky to have even these, they knew.

Thena sighed, looking down at her watch, "time's almost up."

"I know," Gil commiserated, resting his chin on the top of her head. "Don't worry, I'll schedule everything. You'll have time to breathe, if nothing else."

She looked up at him, winding their fingers together, "you're all the air I need."

Gil kissed her forehead, "I love you too, Thena."

She gave up his hand reluctantly.

He gave her a grin, "very poetic, ma'am. Are you sure you need someone to write your speeches for you?"

"Shush," she rolled her eyes, but at least smiled again before he pulled away from her. "Fine, let them in."

He gave her a look from the door. "Twelve more hours."

Twelve more hours until she could actually be with the man she loved.

i'm in the process of watching a bunch of american zombie movies to prep for my honours essay next semester (i'm gonna talk abt them in the context of generational fears!! i'm really excited) and just. man. all the pre-night of the living dead are pretty explicitly racist in some really insidious ways and too many of the post-living dead ones are too
