#a little rant for the soul

[jams-sims]

So those choices at the start of this game mean nothing. I need moblie game devs to stop adding unnecessary shit that gets my hopes up, like they about to do something. When they are barely as good at branching as I am. You had a whole ass cut scene for a guy i picked that is from a whole OTHER House. That im sure i won't see until at least volume 3, because I picked the weird Japanese artist guy.

There's nothing wrong with this setup at all it's very (lmao) twisted wonderland coded. You have the obvious two characters, that are going to care about you throughout the entire serise. (You could have easily saved yourself some time and money if you had us pick from these two (Luca and Kaito) guys from the very start.) They are both invested in your well-being, we all had a heart to heart. Luca is finding out that Kaito is a bit of a scumbag. These are the two character that needs their powers boosted.

But thats a whole other thing- while the Headmaster is saying all this. Did no one see the big demon dog that came from Luca. I feel like we're like "oh yeah this is such a good thing", but no one's really thinking deeper about what that means. What these powers actually mean. Are you boosting the deal with the demon they ate? Why the ring chose the MC? What does it to their body to have such powers? Does it still protect them or is it a fuck you situation rely on your boosted friends.

Also I'm so happy we just have to search for the cure for our own disease on our own. I know, it's implied that the professors and everyone else will be doing things in the background. But that's so cool that you have to do it on your own (this is sarcasm). Thats not emotionally fucked up at all, baby girl just bury that truama deep down you got work to do!

A year is not a long time. Gurl is fucked 100%.

tbh with the fact that skulk consumes dead mobs and (i’m guessing from the shrieker design) traps their souls, skulkfies would also help w like. the ‘feeling human’ having a soul thing

evilfies still uses a bit of his own so they act like him but having the skulk there to kinda make a superglued together ‘whole’ soul that’s made up of long dead animals so they don’t affect his escape room ability or personality (enough to be noticeable in videos at least)

also clonefies soul being already dead kinda dooms him i think

Everyone say hi to Pistachio!!!

I found this little dude a month ago. He's been very sick and on the line since the very beginning, and after five intense days at the vet, I really thought this would be my last day with him. Oh, surprise! My beautiful Pistachio refuses to go without a fight and he's finally, FINALLY out of immediate danger.

I'm so fucking relieved and happy that I just had to come here and yell at the void and show you all his dumb and beautiful face. He's going to live and he's going to be the happiest boy in the world and my heart is so full that it just might explode.

I’m just gonna go on a fucking rant, might make zero sense but I have to get this out of my system.

Fourth wall right….let’s all gather and sit around, head bowed, hands under our chins, deep in thought about this shit right here

KDJ says that the Fourth wall makes it so that he perceives reality as separate from fiction of stuff that was mostly related to TWSA.

Yeah, makes sense.

Just think of this…we know that 4thwall protects him from the effects of ‘fiction’, grounding him in ‘reality’ and helping him make calm, sound, rational decisions. We also know that the Wall shakes and thins when faced with said ‘reality’

Now, here’s another thing we know about Dokja—he likes to see everything through a reader’s eyes, viewpoint if you will

One of the first things we find about him interacting with others is with Sangah and he immediately puts her into a story and gives her a role. He’s been doing this shit since before the scenarios and the apocalypse and all. So we can assume that he’s done this like almost all his life, being the ‘reader’ and seeing others essentially as characters—until they interact with his little bubble.

As it would happen, the people who interact with him and his bubble aren’t exactly very welcoming or nice most times but that aside, here’s what I’m rambling about

If you think about it, the first attributes and skills people get are related to what they were already good at and stuff

So fourth wall is essential a powered up version of KDJ’s dissociative tendencies. It’s a coping mechanism.

Him being a ‘reader’, not intervening in anyone’s story, only reading and forming opinions

Because the last time he played a major role and defeated the villain, the consequences weren’t pretty and he didn’t get the happy ending. Even after his mother ‘reread’ it to him, the ending wasn’t one he liked

The pre-apocalypse version of 4thwall (and his generally tragic life) kept him from being anything more than a ‘reader’ to other people’s lives

But this is not going to be satisfying at all —we know it, Dokja knows it, 4thwall knows it—Dokja craves to be something more than a ‘reader’

But his life is realism, he prefers fantasy novels. His story is a bore compared to the other ones he sees

And “it’s not too bad, being a reader”

Can’t we say that the 4th wall was protecting him from reality than fiction? In his mind, he’s always seen life as stories, whatever genre they were, they were always stories and the fourth wall kept them as stories….

*sighs heavily* yeah, this isn’t going out of my head anytime soon…just Dokja and his trauma….excellent…

on a different note, why are people on tiktok hating on nick chavez and acting like cooper koch hates him jfc

[shinjaeha]

that charging gel ep making me feel even more insane with gelboys theories bc i had a feeling that things were gonna head in this direction but baabin having his own secret twitter account where he tweets all about his crush on fourmod...oh sweetie... 😭

and now bua knowing the extent of how deep baabin's crush on fourmod goes too (and how its been years)?? baabin's told him, he's seen all the tweets, knows baabin left a blackpink concert where he had the chance to see his BIAS for fourmod...he's the only person in baabin's life that knows all of this about him. the only person that baabin can confide in about his feelings for fourmod, and he's actively reaching out to him trying to comfort him (in that bua way of his)...which will only bring them closer together...oh, this mess really is just starting 👀

bua continues to be the most interesting character to me bc he's still so mysterious (NEED his ep so we can get more insight into his mind and feelings). but i'm already so, so intrigued by his dynamic with baabin...and their tweets have made me even more so. from what we've seen so far, bua seems very upfront and direct about his feelings. baabin, on the other hand, keeps his cards close to his chest. he's got a private twitter where he fanboys over fourmod, a secret fourmod folder for their line conversations, he secretly travels to the station even though he lives close to school just so he can spend more time on the bts with fourmod...but no one knows about any of this but him. bua is the only person that he's been honest to about everything, and bua's encouragement and motivation is also the reason that baabin almost ended up confessing to fourmod. the way they're basically polar opposites when it comes to how they deal with their feelings makes them and their potential friendship/relationship so fascinating to me. esp if bua ends up becoming a shoulder that baabin can lean on (and rant to). honestly, the next ep can't come fast enough!!

Ai “art” is rotting your brain.

I get it’s cool to see the characters and to have a visual representation of what’s described. But Ai is regurgitating (STOLEN ART from actual artist) plus pictures of people both of which don’t see anything from their image being used. So now you aren’t happy with Jack shit (like castings or actual art).

If you enjoy books, if you like literature, art, and stories, I beg you to consume in a more critical and conscious way. Prioritize art from actual artists, support artists in your fandom! A like and a comment go a long way, push for them to have more exposure than Ai. Without artists and writers we wouldn’t have the beautiful projects we have now! Ai gives you a soulless replica of the same thing over and over.

Right now the Ai images of book characters are taking up all the space actual art would normally have, so while you enjoy the content of your fandom I ask you to consider this and support actual people that love these characters as much as you.

the past two weeks have me thinking that maybe there really is something wrong with my noggin and maybe I really do need to see someone about it haha

but I think something clicked when I was calling my mum tonight and the evil brain thoughts stopped and I showered and brushed my teeth and was able to look at a couple of fun posts on my instagram feed and listen to zs songs instead of. not being able to lol. and not feel paralyzed and doomscroll and keep looking at what kinds of social services are available to me if I become unemployed

and I brushed my teeth for the first time in a few days haha instead of lying in bed and doing absolutely nothing except ruminate or sleep or call my mother to cry and keep rambling about how I'm doomed and awful etc. etc. idk maybe it's ok for me to exist as the person I am least for now. maybe it's ok as long as I am trying the best that I can in each moment. maybe it's ok if I am not spending every waking hour thinking about the way to optimize my future and my career but instead doom about how it's too late and I should just give up

maybe all the stuff about how thinking about how I'm doomed to fail doesn't help is true and maybe not everything is within my control. maybe other people have responsibilities as well and just because I messed up doesn't mean it is all my fault. and maybe it's ok if I mess up as long as I do my best to not do it again and remedy the situation the best I can.

I miss who I was half an hour ago when I still believed I could find platonic fanfics on Wattpad or AO3……

Like, the last thing I wanna do is date Hellblazer! I just wanna be his friend 😭😭 (yes I am well aware that is equivalent to a death wish)

I shouldn’t be looking for fanfics at quarter to 1 in the morning but OH WELL!!!!

rant about Brook’s time skip powers from fish man island arc 🤩😱🦴

(uh before we start fishman island ⚠️spoilers⚠️ ahead)

Now I haven’t finished the anime/manga and I’m almost done with the fish man island arc rn, so if there’s another one of his powers revealed during this arc that is don’t mention that’s why.

but I just gotta talk about how absolutely COLD. 🥶 brooks new powers are!! Like da boyzzz 🥶🔥 typa cold 😂😂😂

no FR!! I find it so cool how he can bring the COLD of the UNDERWORLD into this realm?! Dude. WHAT ANIME CHARACTER YOU KNOW CAN ACTUALLY DO THAT?? Like?? Oda genius? Everyone always says “ohh I’m hotter than the underworld or I’m as cold as the underworld” but brook can ACTUALLY bring the cold HERE!!

cuz like!! He’s in the in between! He’s half dead half alive! He’s closer to zombies then gecko moria’s minions 😱 which brings me to my next topic! The only way to kill this dude is to completely shatter his bones or drown him!! Like? Think how op that is for a sec- every devil fruit user can be drowned right? Well known fact. But there are also many other ways to kill them! Obv luffy got some insane durability and plot armor but at the end of the day he almost died multiple times due to various things like swords/cuts and poison!! But brook? Not a problem! None of that matters as long as he’s not in the ocean or completely crushed!

Another thing I absolutely had to talk about was his soul coming out of his body!! Before all brook had was his sword and the fact that he practically won’t die again. But now!! He’s gotten so much stronger! His soul leaving his body is so op (no pun lol) because even if you trace it back, if you hit him awake it 1) won’t do any damage and 2) his soul shoots back so he can fight you! Therefore crosses out the option for a sneak attack! The only down slide is if you move his body to the water I’d believed…then that’d be a L for brook 😞🦴.

the last honorary mention is the fact that he can make you see the spiritual world with music!! It’s so funny cause it looks like your hallucinationating but all the time what your seeing is real just not in your dimension. 😭 taste of heaven type stuff 😜 I remember the fishman pirate underlings literally started dancing and shooting the “fire works” (canons) up in the air n stuff 😂😂

this is why I love brook man! 💥💥

I don’t talk abt my fav enough tbh and I haven’t even gotten to write any hcs for him :P I probably will some time in the future 🦴🏴‍☠️

YOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO - Brook 💀
