“If life were an office building, 17 wouldn't get its own floor. It would be the elevator that takes you from the ‘have your parents sign this form’ floor to the ‘your taxes are due tomorrow’ floor. The royalty-free jazz music plays on a loop. The carpet has grape juice stains. The smell of peanut butter and melted crayons is suffocating. I should hate it here. But there’s a little part of me, that never wants the doors to open.”

it is so annoying. i had a perfectly productive day, got a lot of things done just like a normal human being so i thought i could just have a nice evening lie down and binge watch some youtube deep dives but then i fucking get an anxiety attack because i decided to stop being productive after a day i worked hard and have a rest???

well turns out playing the sims and rushing a career path helped me get my mind of things after i calmed down enough to be able to breathe again :)

Idk if it’s just me but I want to do/see a deep dive of all the companies that reached out to Youtubers for sponsorships over the years and have turned out to be complete scams. Like better help, or that one “buy a piece of Scotland and become a lord/lady” scam thing. Or raid shadow legends. Most recently Temu.

Like if it’s a sponsor ship I just kind of assume it’s a scam. Even if it’s by a YT I like I just assume it’s a scam and the you tubers was lied too.

I might’ve spoiled the plot of Natlan | Genshin Impact THEORY

In which I read so much lore that I gained the power to see the future (maybe) This ended up being a real challenge to make - but it was also really fun! Please do lemme know what you reckon of these ideas, and whether y’all wanna see me pattern-recognition my way into several corkboards worth of theories about any other topics sometime down the line! (^^)/

(also: HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🥳🎉 Here's wishing y'all every good thing for 2024)

I was watching a YouTube video essay by an old man named Times New Roman that was a 7 hour long deep dive into my life and why it’s problematic.

✨ a deep dive into the queer witch obsession ✨

From Agatha to Owl House, Willow to Wicked - the rise of the queer witch on our screens has been a long time coming... but what about this trope is resonating so much?

Watch here to find out!

I just want to ask Ben Walker what it’s like to have so many correct opinions.

YouTubers be like this is a deep dive and then the video isn't even an hour long. brother this is a shallow dive at best. you are daintily touching the cold water with the tip of your toes while proclaiming to be an Olympic swimmer. when I hear deep dive I want to feel my lungs incased in ice and my brain filled with knowledge. I want you to live and breathe and become one with the topic. I want to watch you slowly lose your grip of reality in the course of multiple hours. I want you to go on twenty random unscripted vaguely related side tangents. like c'mon

“Let’s focus on healthy coping mechanisms! Distractions and grounding is so important, especially when you’re feeling suicidal due to emotional flashbacks. Let’s get some grounding items and get to work!”

I've finally finished the six games in the main Ace Attorney series! That's right!! It's time for my review!

I think it's fairly common knowledge that Ace Attorney is a political commentary on the Japanese legal system as it existed in 2001. I know I knew that going in.

What I didn't know was just how topical the games were. I didn't figure that out until I started looking into what the fuck was going on in Apollo Justice, and what I discovered makes Apollo Justice my favourite game in the series.

At the time the Phoenix Wright trilogy was first being released, Japan did not have any form of trial by jury, and boasted a conviction rate to make Edgeworth and Von Karma's records look almost credible. Four months after the release of the third game, the Japanese National Diet passed a piece of legislation implementing judicial reform with the explicit intention of “the promotion of the public’s understanding of the judicial system and … their confidence in it.”

The next installment of the series—Apollo Justice, released in April of 2007—builds the themes of legal corruption explored by the first trilogy into a passionate argument for reform by restoring judicial power to the citizens.

Phoenix Wright, seen through the eyes of the new protagonist, appears to be a jaded shell of his former self: retired from the legal profession, beaten down by trying to champion truth and justice from within a broken system. The circumstances leading to his forced retirement come to light in the game's climactic final case, hand in hand with the revelation that Phoenix never really gave up on his ideals. He just gave up on the system. Speaking directly to the player, he casts the player as one of a panel of six civilian judges in a new reformed system of trial he and Edgeworth developed together. At the end of the trial, the player directly casts the final vote to decide the verdict.

In May of 2009, two years after Phoenix Wright handed the player direct power over the outcome of a trial, the real Japanese legal system conducted its first trial utilising civilian lay judges under the newly reformed judicial system.

I don't know nearly enough about how the current Japanese system works to judge the accuracy of Apollo Justice's vision to the final real result of real Japanese lawyers and judges' efforts, but from my casual perspective, it's pretty close. Close enough for it to be clear the game developers were following the progress of the real reform. Perhaps the game was meant as a celebration, or maybe they hoped it could work as an educational tool to introduce the concept to the public. Either way, these games were made by someone or someones who cared deeply about criminal justice, and I love them for it.

I also love them for their fun and immersive mysteries, of course, and their ludicrously charming cast of characters. It's no wonder the series has withstood the test of time, thriving on their own solid merit as games even far removed by both time and distance from the context of their social commentary.
