Jackal has consistently been like 'calm your tits sis' this whole time, but the SECOND she flips out, he is 100% on board. He doesn't even have a moment of looking upset or annoyed. Just... welp the beast was contained as long as possible and that was the limit. Now lets do a flying kick at the richest dude ever. XD
I gotta say, this watch through is giving me an appreciation for Hyena I can't believe I didn't have before. She's amazing.
#Xanatos really gave us an impossible standards of expectations for rich guys#What a disappointment the real world is#musk/bezos could never#Though they could have a moment like this last panel that'd be nice XDXXDXD#Gargoyles#tfg liveblogs gargoyles#her brother's keeper#GS1E12#G!Hyena#G!Jackal#David Xanatos

Where are the positive Arcane posts brothers. My brothers. It's such a good show and gives us so much and there's SO much to explore. Even if you don't like LoL, as an enjoyer of the show and a player of the game they're really unrelated.
BUT LoL gives the base of the world and so you've got a show that's detailed and full of life and potential with this pool of basic lore and world building to draw upon.
And hey. It isn't perfect a lot of people have a lot of valid complaints and dislikes of what happened and how they happened. I definitely do too but the WAY it's written and HOW it's written lets you fill in so many gaps and make your own world for the most part.
My big hang up is it seems people fill that space with negativity. If you don't like it you can make it better? The space to fill is there without rewriting the characters or events, why let yourself ruin the show for yourself when you could enjoy it? Nobody controls how they feel and if you don't want to like it that's your choice but if you HAVE the choice? Why not take it and run with it you know?
#words#arcane#in a world that is chaotic#and crazy and uncontrollable and arguably just bad#the real world for me anywya i think a lot of people are feeling this way too#why not fucking project what you want onto the show#it's art#it's about projecting yourself and seeing yourself in it and enjoying that experience#i THINK#idk I'm also in a period in my life where I'm tired#im tired of being disappointed and im tired of not liking things#but that's just me

harris’ campaign was vastly mismanaged on multiple levels, but ppl having a loud superiority complex about not voting and then when being confronted about it essentially stating they live in a blue state where it wouldn’t matter either way … it’s really awful to me how little sympathy for minorities in red states leftists/communists in reliably blue states tend to have especially given that a lot of marginalized people in red states would leave if they could but don’t have the resources or money
#i also think refusing to vote for harris just to feel better about urself is american entitlement in action#bc we’re a world power and we’re witnessing in real time the destabilizing effects a trump presidency is having internationally#again. i don’t blame anyone for being immensely disappointed in her campaign but like. her platform vs whats happening now …

Funniest part of what nsbu has done to the d20 fandom is seeing people getting very earnestly upset about canon G13 slander. Like, getting completely unironically upset at the woman who CREATED HIM for calling him an incel and therefore canonically making him an incel
#so sorry to break it to yall but it is genuinely not that deep#also if she says hes an incel thats what he is. its not your character#i get it because i too was mildly disappointed that G13 was fully gone so soon#i thought it was a brilliant move by rekha to have him try to hack his way into the real world#and it seems like that may have even aligned with his prior work for the shadow falcons which is serendipitous#but yall hes a fictional character WITHIN another fictional character#it just reminds me of those posts during fhjy that said they had to quit the show because their precious baby riz was experiencing conflict#never change d20 fandom#unmatched fandom experience#nsbu

#Seeing the dune part 2 american centric red carpet and as a devoted aficionado of the books and yk a moroccan person here are my 2 cents#Dune was one of the few Western works inspired by MENA culture that that felt genuine and respectful#But ofc despite the profound symbiosis with Middle Eastern and North African culture evident within the pages of the novels#the movie adaptation lack of substantive representation from these communities both in on-screen portrayals and within production roles was#very much disappointing in part 1 and i doubt there are any change now#While drawing inspiration from the Amazigh peoples of Algeria and Morocco#the film barely skims the surface of its MENA influences leaving substantial potential untapped#Herbert openly acknowledged the profound impact of Islam and MENA culture on his noveIs#from the metaphorical representation of Spice as oil#to the allegorical parallels drawn between the occupation of Arrakis and real-world MENA geopolitics#By marginalizing Arabs from the narrative fabric of Dune the essence of the story is being undermined particularly its anti-colonial core#the irony of this is kiIIing me because this was a direct resuIt of us impérialism on the middIe east#But the reality is that Dune is an American production tailored for an American audience so it makes sense for it to be what it is now#a big production running from its original essence#What adds to my disappointment is the fact that I liked Villeneuve's adaptation of Incendies and I had what you call foolish hope hfhg#Dune feIt Iike a squandered opportunity to authentically depict the cultural milieu that inspired it#Given the narrative's inherent anti-colonial themes#the omission of Arab and North African voices dilute its message if any of it is even left#without representation from Arabs and Amazigh people the cultural essence becomes another appropriated resource watered down to an aestheti#rather than serving as a critique of the destructive actions of colonialists seeking power and dominance#the narrative becomes susceptible to distortion and co-option by the very entities it was intended to condemn and hold accountable

It’s just very interesting to me how wrong the people are who worked on Veilguard and I’m actually ignoring whatever shit they said in that AMA 🤷♀️
I huff copium for fun baybeeeeeee I’m making my own lore now.
#video games#dragon age the veilguard#veilguard spoilers#text#I love this game in spite (lol) of everything wrong with it but let me be so for fucking real I miss Mary Kirby#I miss how much it used to feel like BW cared about their own lore#so much is stripped back and reworked and outright ignored that I’m fucking baffled#but I still love the game#and idk how to occupy both spaces at once but I’m currently working with just ignoring a lot of shit and writing my own lore in my mind#in this house we ignore glaring plot holes for the sake of JOY#every time I see the Blighted status effect I get so fucking mad why do they make the BLIGHT sound like a tummy ache#the blight being able to both (checks notes) destroy all of southern thedas while only giving Rook an ouchie for a minute is so dumb#I have no ill will toward the people who fought to make Veilguard work despite the pressures they were under#and I still love this game#I have to keep making that clear#but in some respects I’m so disappointed and idk what to do with that#it’s not a Solavellan thing either it’s so many little things that undermine the world they built for no good reason that I can gather

Catching up to CSM is terrible because all it does is make me wish JJK was more like it
#Like. Obv they're different. But CSM is willing to really fucking Commit To The Bit of social commentary and horror and stuff#JJK has the bones of great world building but that's all they are. Bones. There's no MEAT#CSM has meat- sometimes its maybe rotten and festering but it's MEAT#Anyway. My real gripe w Gege isn't that they mishandle things as much as they seem like they aren't handling things well#(treatment of the girls & women in the story / lackluster criticism of power structures / weird random ableism / UI Ui / etc)#But they don't fuckin commit to the bit. Fujimoto uhhhhh. Well. He fucking writes. Good or bad you have to acknowledge he's saying SOMETHIN#Like I think that's what genuinely gets me. If fujimoto does weird shit you can See It because he makes it obvious.#When Gege does weird shit it's hard to notice bc it's just kinda brushed over in favor of other shit so it ends up feeling#Almost insidious. It's probably not intentional but it's still like ''hm I think people are internalizing aspects of this without#Realizing that it is in fact influencing the way they think''.#Vs with chainsaw man you can say ''what the fuck does this mean???'' and have actual discussion about the themes messages and implications#Of the shit being written. JJK is evil not just because it's kinda mediocre and disappointing but also because it genuinely makes me think#''i should reread fire punch'' which. Pros: I'm older and smarter and can maybe actually analyze the thematic elements logically#Also I get to see togata again. Cons: it's fucking fire punch

Just saw my sister with a starbucks cup. Very upset with her.
Overpriced coffee is NOT, and will NEVER be, worth the lives of Palestinians
please keep boycotting. i promise it's not that hard
#mint.txt#i dont usually talk about real life issues#but jesus that's a whole genocide happening and im so disappointed with the world for not even doing much to stop it#like sure sit in a courtroom and talk about banning tiktok instead of what's really important#i really hate this country bro#The US for anyone that's confused

awww sorry gang but everyone is so bitter on the dash i'm muting the tags until things calm down a bit cuz this is just not fun for me <3
#you guys it's genuinely not the end of the world and#and you are kinda acting the same way like the other half of the fandom when eddie and buck doesn't have scenes together#yeah an actor will care more about his character than a recurring character who was in <10 eps#yeah an actor will be disappointed for having to leave his highest profile most interesting job so far#that's show biz#these characters aren't real though so just go and write fics or yk what we usually do#shitting on the writing and the actors and the show as a whole... well that is literally what you had against some people until now#but whatevs#ramblings

today my nephew asked me what an mp3 reader is I finally understand my elders
#stuff like this happens all the time#every time we talk i realise that we're growing up in two completely different times#also he moves through apps#every time i mention something a website or some other thing you can find online#he asks what app is that#and I'm like baby no#the world is not made of apps#apps in the way they exist today are younger than you#or all the streaming platforms#i looked for a (definitly legal) movie in front of him the other day and i played it to check the quality#because him and his mom wanted to watch it and couldn't find it#and all he said was On what platform did you find it#i was like I'm gonna tell you a story#✨the story of internet in the early 2000✨#listen we grew up with internet meaning that the internet has grown with us which means that we know it#we know how to be safe on it we know what to do and what not to do we understand when something is real and when something is not#the problem with all these new generations is that yes they know how to use a phone since year one but in reality they have no idea about#the internet they have no idea about what they hold in their hands they have no idea about what they can do with it#what the hell they don't even know how to access the internet#they don't know websites they don't know every app is actually a website#the same nephew once turned on a computer and was so lost and disappointed he asked me#is there YouTube on this thing?#my child! you have the world at your hands and you're asking me if there is youtube in it#and yes of course he's a child he need to be thought stuff abd you're right#but also not if it makes sense#at least in my experience i was left completely alone on the internet and yes i was probably watched at a distance from my older siblings#but i was given the space and time to explore it at some point i had my very own computer i was on socials at a very young age#most of the people my own age where#and we were way more responsible with it#idk where am i going with this i don't really have a point

#say what you will about sera dragon age but they really were nailing something#with the ''sometimes we aren't capable of real change until someone loves and accepts us exactly as we are'' thing#if you've gone through life being told there's something wrong with you from every direction and constantly asked to change and improve#that creates both some extreme problems around self worth (feeling inherently damaged and unlovable) and a LOT of anger#anger that's got no real target so everything and everyone becomes something to resent and resist#you are not enough. you will never be enough. even the people who love you are always trying to fix you in the name of helping#and maybe you tried to be different!!! but it didn't work and so you are a constant disappointment#finding somebody who just loves you and sees you amd doesn't demand that you change is.... unthinkable#suspicious. trusting that is not going to come easily#but if it's genuine? that's a place where growth can really start. because it stops being about fighting back and all the resentment#it lets you start believing that maybe change is not synonymous without capitulation or losing this battle you've been fighting#your entire life against the world telling you you aren't good enough#a part of you believed it but another part also knew it wasn't fair and that's the part#that would rather destroy yourself with self destructive behaviors than admit they're right#ahem. i am definitely projecting here but there's a reason i always felt super attached to her!!#and i think i get it now a lot more than i used to

i feel like i’m dying. like the insides of my soul are sloughing off and im so fucking alooone it’s agonizing
#🕰️#also the friend i was going on a date with cancelled because they’re going to a funeral#which logically i Know isn’t because of me. that is hurtful to think but there’s a part of me that’s like You’re fucking dumb for thinking#nyone would actually want to do that. you idiot. you fucking fool. you moron. i know logically and from experience that they wouldn’t cance#if they didn’t have a funeral. or they might. who knows! i need to give them the benefit of the doubt but it’s weird because what i know is#logically true is butting heads with But What If They Actually Hate Me And They Didn’t Want To Go On A Date In The First Place#from past experience i know that this thought pattern breeds resentment. i Know that this will drive a rift in between us over something st#pid if i let it fester. they Don’t hate me. they actually want to spend time with me but there’s a little guy in my brain going But wouldn’#it fucking suck if it actually turned out that they secretly hate you just like you think everyone secretly hates you and i’m like SHUT UPP#my knowledge of what is true and real vs my ever-present desire to be fucking miserable. because that’s all i know how to be#and to top everything off i’m a disappointment to everyone Especially myself and a giant arrogant asshole with the world’s most fragile ego#and a deep seated desire to be the Greatest and Bestest ever because if i’m not then i’m nothing. <- that’s why i’m crashing right now btw#no wonder why nobody takes me seriously and acts like i’m fucking stupid and useless. it’s just because i am.#OH MY GOD ITS HAPPENING AGAIN. FULL CIRCLE. ITS THE ‘I KNOW THIS ISNT TRUE BUT WHY DO I THINK THIS.’#Okay. Okay!!!!!!#you didn’t see it but i just deleted a tag that was me about to go into another rant.#i need to calm down. i need to callllllm down. my brain is ripping itself apart#vent#sorry i feel really really really awful right now. im going to try not to do anything to myself. im going to try.#edit yeah they just don’t want to. Yeah

i think totk will be forever irredeemable in my eyes if for nothing else then for how i felt when i beat the water temple
#i have never been so utterly destroyed by succeeding in a game before. that ‘dungeon’ was the worst thing ive experienced from this series#the only good thing was how it firmly punted the bar down into hell since i did it first#bitching abt totk#bringing that tag back. i remembered it earlier and good fucking god what a dogshit excuse for a dungeon#salty talks#honestly all of the dungeons in that game were fucking pitiful and insultingly easy to beat with like no real effort or thought#ill always hold the divine beasts in higher regard for how they made use of interesting gimmicks and just. were better experiences overall#cannot fucking- i really need 3d loz to gtfo of the open world sandbox thing bc those travesties of dungeons proved that this shit#aint gonna work like holy FUCK none of those felt good to progress in none of them were interesting to explore#the only exceptions being the fire temple bc at least it was like. a little more-dungeony and was helped by some traversal puzzling#though you couldve just skipped the whole fuckin thing bc thats what we want possible in our dungeons#and rhe first level of the lightning temple bc it was like. actually reminiscent of interesting dungeon design and then fumbled hard#GOD i will likely never fucking get over how catastrophically disappointing that water temple was jesus fucking christ

The only explanation is that I’m in a torture simulation designed specifically to pick at everything that drives me insane and causes me extreme anxiety
#my routine has been disrupted#I’ve been bombarded with noise all week#and I feel like I’m disappointing a lot of people this week#on top of that i suddenly cannot stand looking at my own body#my brain is like my own personal torture chamber i do not understand#what is wrong with me#the world doesn’t feel real rn like i feel like im literally in a simulation

Can I be real? I get that all the demigods are supposed to be bad people, and I don’t care if people like them for the most part (I mean, Ranni is my favourite Elden Ring character and she’s completely selfish), but it does kind of put a bad taste in my mouth that FromSoftware would create a sympathetic character who participated in genocide for the DLC considering world events. It also puts a bad taste in my mouth that he’s such a hit in the fanbase.
I’m not gonna act like it says something about you as a person to like the character 100% of the time or anything but it does make me uncomfortable and I wish people would be a little more I guess cognisant of the issues present in the game and play it more critically. I also wish people would offer more sympathy to the actual genocides happening now not only through activism and education but by being aware of the media they consume and how it affects perceptions
#it’s different when it’s like infecting the world with scarlet rot or turning people into a giant corpse sword because those bad things#aren’t real. there’s no real world equivalent so it doesn’t really mean anything to still like those characters#idk what I expect from a formerly axis country but it disappoints me every time#I used rykard as an example in my tags but I don’t get loving him 😭 but I don’t judge for that I just don’t get it
