While I am still enjoying Link Click Season 2, dear god the pacing is a mess
#don't mind me having a moment#link click#normally I complain about shows rushing through scenes#but here everything feels stretched out to the maximum#there is a fight scene in Ep 7 that serves no purpose but to waste the time of the characters forced into it#and clearly also the audiences time#how was season 1 able to tell interesting 20 minute stories#while also building up a greater narrative#but now that that narrative is the focus it just need to stretch everything out as much as possible

yea i rewatched the s1 finale. did a lil doodle about it
#GODDD I NEED MORE PPL TO TALK ABOUT IL-NAM AND GI-HUN'S FINAL CONVERSATION#and i need them to like actually pay attention this time#stg its one of the more misunderstood scenes of the series#ive seen some people seeing it as a clash of two totally valid ideologies when like#no one of these things is clearly wrong. characters can have flawed logic even if they SOUND convincing#il-nams so fuckin good at manipulating that hes manipulated the audience NOOOO#people got too convinced that il-nam was in the right when he said 'well people came back on their own accord'#as if we didnt have an episode explicitly showing us the characters very shitty lives outside of the games#that forced them back into them#as if we werent explicitly shown gi-huns situation in great detail in e1 that landed him in the games in the first place#also i do NOT agree with any kinda sentiment that gi-hun is 'just as bad as the VIPs' for playing that game w/ il-nam#i mean. the dude was clearly reeling from the fucking BETRAYAL HES EXPERIENCING>??#and also il-nam is very manipulative as i said before. i think he was good at redirecting their interaction so that in the moment gi-hun >#> kinda forgets could ditch il-nam and go outside n save the homeless man himself#<- not really perfectly worded but i hope yall get what i mean#plus in s1 it was shown that gi-hun could sometimes not think ahead or clearly#especially when his emotions are running high#like. idk. when he realizes the man hes grieved and felt immense guilt over for a year is actually an evil ass rich dude who orchestrates >#> the mass murder of people in debt#god i am one PETTY ASS BITCH cuz i will NOT LET THIS GO#anyways. i just think that il-nams betrayal is just so so fucked because i was really Thinking about it as i rewatched the ep and#gi-hun likely grieved il-nam the same way he grieved the other friends he had in the games. he probably saw him in his nightmares too.#remembered how he'd hugged him even though gi-hun had been tricking him#(SIDE NOTE. ITS FUCKED THAT ONLY THE EVIL OLD MAN HAS HUGGED GI-HUN. CAN SOMEONE WHO ISNT EVIL BE NICEYS TO HIM.)#all of that. all of that grief and all of that love. what does it even mean now.#gi-hun is embarrassed hes been made a fool of hes angry hes heartbroken#squid game#seong gi hun#my art#doodle

What I loved about Cinderella's Castle is it is so entirely about Ella. We know starkid can handle a show with tons and tons of characters but I found it quite refreshing for it to be so wholly her story? I think it was a lovely choice for this show and man Bryce did such a perfect job of it, she is truly such a star
#starkid#cinderella's castle spoilers#cinderella's castle#cc#cc spoilers#I think I want to rewatch it a couple of times to actually ascertain how I rank it with other starkid shows but. yeah what a great show#they used that money well too every aspect was STUNNING#and I could go on and on about the choreography maybe the best from any starkid show it looked so fucking good#anyway. justice for my girls Justine and Lucy I miss you#OH more things I loved! no romance! starkid write fantastic romances which I love dearly but again it was so nice#to just see Ella discover herself and her power. and yes I know her and Tadius are heavily implied but! I love that it was allowed to#just be the very beginnings of whatever they might become!!!#I will say that I predicted the Justine and Lucy thing which is heartbreaking I miss them#but anyway I loved it as a version of Cinderella and I loved it as a musical and MAN the music FUCKING SLAPPED#I made like 7 pages of notes because I regret that I don't remember my immediate reactions to bf and npmd#they are insane and most of them are just 'oh my god' and 'he's just a little boy' whenever crumb was on#ALSO WHO THR FUCK WAS THAT MASTER DWARF CAN WE GET MORE DETAILS ON THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHI IS HE AND HIS WOODBLOCK#OK ALSO ALSO oh my god there are too many thoughts in my brain. also. so it's basically confirmed they want to be Beauty and the beast and#snow white now right?#were there any other fairytale references?#ok fuck it finally last thing verrrry intrigued by how much the audience were clearly part of the story

similar cinematographic choices to portray the same imagery with insanely different circumstantial contexts
#like being tricked into a room and locked off from the outside world with a pitcher of water‚ a waste bucket‚ and an army cot#as you slowly died while experiencing acute mental distress to the point of having a psychogenic seizure at the same time#that people discussed your fate as if it were a decision they had the authority to make (and they DO. unfortunately for you)#vs being tied to chair during which you're in pretty consistent communication and under the care of the person who put you there#and you're narratively given the opportunity to hunt this person down and you even have scenes with hand to hand combat#in which you're able to properly defend yourself. for the other person the idea of your life being in danger is carefully threaded risk#to be taken rather than (as per the previous circumstance described) a decision you have the authority to make#likeee i remember reblogging this post that ssid 'supernatural doesn't really have a concept of jail' but like absolutely yes it does#sam (and even other characters like mary and rowena) are both put in 'jail' as the direct effect to a fault#wrt the winchester familial dynamic and their role. it's one of the main differences here. sam is put in jail‚ dean is not#sam does not have the authority to put him there. it doesn't help that sam is literally pleading as the victim within his scene#while dean is able to victimise sam even as the monstrous body within the 10.03 scene#and the thing is that their identities are being compartmentalised in similar ways here. dean is attempting to save his sammy#from the encroaching (invariable) monstrous sam that which he spends the next season attempting to forgive for the shortcoming#of dean perceiving sam's efforts at independence as abandonment while sam is attempting to save his dean from the encroaching mark of cain#(chosen to be put there yet is still victimised by) and sam spends the rest of the season forgiving him over and over while even#taking misattributed responsibility and blame that which has to be made up for#4.21#10.03#se referat#edit: also adding onto chii's tags wrt the differences in capacity for consent regarding demon!dean#it's so interesting to compare demon!dean to soulless!sam in that demon!dean didn't have the capacity to reject competent!dean's consent#while both soulless!sam and 5.22!sam did not consent to be resouled in respectively active and precedingly passive ways#like 6.12 sam is clearly happy and grateful to have been resurrected and he doesn't even have any specific qualms#about dean keeping information relating to his ressurection from him but 5.22 explicitly made his consent�� or lack thereof‚ regarding#ressurection clear unlike dean in early-s10... and the thing is that the last time sam didn't pursue dean's ressurection#he faced negative consequences for that decision! and yet dean is seen as objectively correct for his actions in s6#by both the audience and narrative‚ and much of his responsibility regarding sam's psychosis isn't acknowledged as directly related#to his actions vs the pinning of blame to much of early-s10 onto sam esp relating to the guy he had summon a demon‚ who sold his own soul#despite sam's advice‚ whom demon!dean killed

so uh milgram fans are we ready to talk about this yet?


the fact that the real subject of the “experiment” of milgram is Es, not the prisoners? and how beyond the story, the true subjects are actually us, the viewers?
#now what I’m curious about is what es is being tested for#and why? is it just about obedience#like the original milgram experiment#or is there more to it?#is es’s true identity beyond their amnesia even important? or are they just an audience stand-in… are they even a real person?#or are they just a manifestation of ‘us’ aka the audience and also the true subjects of the experiment#and what does Jackalope learn from all this? he’s implied this isn’t the only time a milgram project has been run…#or is there another person - the ‘stanely milgram’ of this situation we could say#(since jackalope is the experimenter es is the teacher and the prisoners are the learners)#… or is deco*27 the ‘stanely milgram’ of this scenario#where do the lines blur between the fictional nature of the scenario and the real nature of the social experiment -#- that’s clearly being conducted here?#idk im sooooo fascinated by the link between the milgram experiments and the milgram project#(plz go read the whole Wikipedia article if u can it’s super interesting)#milgram#es#milgram project#es milgram#jackalope#milgram experiment#jackalope milgram

#flourished peony#i love them your honor#jiang changyang#he weifang#this is my only contribution to this fandom#gif#if you haven't seen this series already & enjoy a good & clearly femminist agenda being pushed#but still within the constraints of the time period the drama is set in#aka a historically accurate* femminist take#then please watch this show#if you enjoy a heroine who is cursed to be in scenarios based on sexism and classism#and also enjoy seeing her dig her way out of them without the aid of a man#despite literally everything#then PLEASE please watch this show#one of the reasons i stuck around for so long was because it doesn't belittle the intelligence of the audience#every character is pushing an agenda & assumes they're correct in that push#& this shit is fucking Harrowing at times especially in the beginning#but i had So Much Fun watching it#plus the set design and costume design was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo good#and whoever fucking storyboarded this series is *screams* it's all cinematic#they're beautiful beautiful shots#i'm chock full of inspiration now

guys you haven't heard of obelisks because while it is interesting if human-resident bacteria can have large unusual viroids 1. you also haven't heard of viroids, this is already a category of thing that just doesn't get a lot of wide public consumption news reporting because it has few direct human QOL impacts and a lot of conceptual prerequisites 2. anything this recent, reported by one lab, and entirely sequencing-based holds "this result might be a sequencing error" within it even if it's not extremely likely and in general it's a good idea to uh. keep it together for a while while other people check that they can find these using other methods 3. the reason you even think you should have heard of it is because it has a wikipedia page, which is because it's from a nobel prize winner's lab. this is an understandable reason but not obviously a good one 4. it's not a new kind of life because that's not how we use the word and also we don't know what it's up to. we have no evidence of it doing anything, let alone reproducing and encapsulating itself. and also because there's no god damn reason to think it's not a big weird viroid and we already don't really know what viroids are doing. get a hold of yourselves
#there are things like this all the time. this one is from an andrew fire project and ppl have mistaken that for greater importance.#not that they know that's why. but it is#please experience only the levels of enthusiasm i think would be appropriate for this kind of thing from now on#box opener#uuuugh i know it's good if people are excited about science reporting but it's also good not to breathlessly overexaggerate things#based on clearly just not being particularly familiar with how biology‚ biological research‚ or general audiences science reporting work#''why haven't i heard of this'' well we're busy. and also centrally we have no idea what these things do.#homeobox

MAFUYU'S WL2 CHAPTERS HAVE HARMED ME IRREPARABLY.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE KNOWS SHE'S IN A DREAM? WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S GOING OUT OF HER WAY TO FIND NIIGO? WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE PULLS IDENTICAL SAD SMILES AT SEEING ALL OF THEM INTERACTING WITH HER LIKE A STRANGER? CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME?
she was SURPRISED when her mother said they 'had a talk' about mafuyu not being a doctor. she doesn't remember that conversation. she didn't KNOW what their relationship was in this world until her mother explicitly told her.
she reached out to ena THROUGH airi (when she shouldn't have otherwise even KNOWN about her) so they could all practice drawing together. she let mizuki suggest clothes for her to wear (going on a whole expedition with her classmates just to engineer a chance to take them to her boutique) bc there's no other way for her to interact with her?????????????
she literally said that kanade's songs give """"everyone"""" a warm feeling when everyone else has referred to them just as being 'cheerful' and 'popular'. and then the way she pushed kanade to list all the things she wanted to do... insisted on doing all of them in what might literally have been experienced by them AS a montage... it's like she's trying to gift kanade experiences + memories that she otherwise wouldn't have? and it's such a clear parallel between all the expeditions/trips niigo take HER on in the prime timeline in the name of finding herself?
i was already betting everything on kaito being the vocaloid to sing to her but his use here is now like. infinitely crazier to me in the context of the actual story. the 'hold onto your true feelings' vocaloid sings to mafuyu to comfort her in a world where she doesn't have her friends. and then she acts on those feelings by bringing them as close together as she can? because? she loves? her friends?
#prsk#prsk spoilers#idfk how to tag this but like . spoilers you know#(the focus on her relationship with niigo is PARTICULARLY interesting in the context of this event being set#before mafuyu6. she's gifted a world where she's living at peace with her parents -- her apparent goal in the 'real world' -- but what's#clearly more important to her is the fact that her peace + security from nightcord's friendship is missing#she categorically cannot leave that be even when it means acting out of character (like her classmates being surprised that she's taking a#break at the mall with them)#and this might be reading too much into it considering how much of her chapter is presented through implications#but her specific concern over kanade doing the things 'she wants to do' makes me think she's also#concerned about how the others are doing without their group as well#like. she knows they were all suicidal. she knows when mizuki left in mzk5 shit was Incredibly Dire#you go like six months bracing urself for generic angst from this wl theme#and then what's this? IT'S PREMISE-AWARE ASAHINA MAFUYU WITH A STEEL CHAIR !!!!!!!!!!#even with kanade's apparent happiness + general Mood Improvement . like who is encouraging her to try new things without niigo#who is giving her new perspectives and challenging her passivity + stagnant nature#not that i think that's what mafuyu was literally thinking when she went after kanade so aggressively but like. the concerns that I As An#Audience Member had about kanade felt quite decently mirrored by mafuyu's behaviour#(ALSO I CANT BELIEVE SHE PUSHED BACK AGAINST KANADE SAYING HER COMPOSITIONS AREN'T AS GOOD AS HER DADS#THATS MY FUCKING GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCREAMING LIKE IM AT A WRESLTING MATCH SEEING THAT#YES!!!!!!!!! DON'T LET HER MINIMISE HERSELF + HER SKILL LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!)#also omfg the implication that kanade turned mafuyus first invite down to go compose. YOU LITETRALLY WANT TO BE HER FRIEND WHAT IS WRONG#WITH YOUUUUUUUUUUU.#this is getting incomprehensible im just. so overwhelmed with how genius a story this is to tell with MAFUYU out of all of them#the character defined by not knowing who she is and what she wants. spending her dream looking for her friends..............#AND NO NARRATION#NO OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHAT SHE'S THINKING#THROUGH ANY OF IT!#ALL WE HAVE IS HER HEARTBREAKING LITTLE SMILES AND THE REACTIONS#SHE CAN'T SURPRESS IN TIME

joining a voca community bc i felt social & im being painfully reminded what 14 year olds are like
#me before joining: surely theyll talk about popular producers like r906 & other newer gen artists#clearly not magu bc theyre 14 and all their activism is performative & based on strongly worded online posts#from people who are also doing absolutely nothing to make any real difference besides harassment#me after join: theres just kairiki bear & maretu in here am i in 2016#im no stranger to liking either producer but like#hello kids take my hand i'll show u how to branch out in a way thats not dependent on yt algorithm#i expected popular producers (used to jpn community standards) & i got Popular Producers (all time all stars only)#i feel outside the target audience here#says person who hasnt looked at new songs on nnd since vocacolle. sorry. its been dopam!ne & magu hours for so long

If More has no defenders I am dead and buried
#eggs can speak#metaphor refantazio spoilers#metaphor spoilers#more metaphor refantazio#hilarious tag#king hythlodaeus V#hythlodaeus v#LISTEN this is where I actually get into it. this is my aside to the audience#I haven’t read every entry in the memorandum (YET) but as far as I know. we don’t have much evidence to the kind of parent he was#it puts a VERY BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH when he gets treated like a shitty dad to Will#makes me mad#like yeah I’m not gonna argue that he was perfect he still let the church get away with burning the elda village#but I feel like blaming him for what came after is shitty. it feels like shifting blame off of Forden who is the REAL scumbag here#also like. I dunno. more is really sweet w/ Will#every time he narrates the travels in the runner he feels the need to say “the world is dark and scary butluckily my favorite boy is safe’’#and he very clearly treasures the time they have together#both before and after the reveal#kicks a rock#I dreamed I posted this and was mad when I woke up and realized I hadn’t

This is what I did during my spare time... I'm fine.
Side Notes: I didn't add any of the actual players for simplicity's sake, but I did add characters played by the CCs that aren't their main characters such as Arin, ElQuackity, and Sapo Peta.
It will be too complicated to add ex-alliances and spy-related stuff... but if I did! Jaiden will be between the "knows the federation" and "sides with the players" and Etoiles will be between "understands the codes" and "sides with the players" just because there are no real secrets about it if you watch their POVs.
#qsmp#this is what I did in Valentine's Day because my aro-ace ass couldn't think of anything better to spend my time on#also the thing that shock me the most out of this is THAT THE FUCKING DOG WORKS FOR THE FEDS WHAT#also the Watcher may hate the Federation and stuff but only really knows about Egg Island and nothing else#so he is included in the same area as Cucurucho Mr Duck and the Bunnies#and the Fed workers are in between because they LIKE the players 80% of them are friends or more that the other workers ARE NOT#Creation is so new but I think I'm okay in the placement for now just because is not attached to the Players enough to move to where Arin i#also there's a glee on seeing Ayrobot and SOFIA (Max's robo-daughter) in the same place just for perfectly for my little aymaxo brain#also I'm putting all the Cucurucho's on the Feds because there's not much distinguishing Cucurcho from Osito Bimbo and Ourson#also that's Madagio not naked Slenderman... although both of them would be in the same slot#and all the individual gods like Mine Kristin/Mumza Matt and both Cellbit's and Philza's individual god entities are still there#because we know them as the audience but we don't know what the fuck they know and what they can do even if they canonically exist#also I don't know what the fuck is @v@ so clearly deserves that spot despite being able to infect players federation works and the codes

just got a dm abt one of my posts and y'all please don't try and show the hermits (or any minecraft youtuber or content creator for that matter) my posts, i'm uncomfortable with it and don't want any of my posts shown to a cc. if they stumble upon it naturally that's unfortunate but i can live with it since i do maintag a lot (something i REALLY need to stop doing tbh i already know i need to make a tagging system just for my blog that wont clog results) but going out of ur way to show a cc is entirely different and something i am not comfortable with.
no hate to the person at all but even if i wasn't a little silly and weird with it sometimes i wouldn't be comfortable with it, i want my blog to be a purely fandom only space with none of the creators involved <3 please respect this
#which is imo how a fandom space should be#i'm old fashioned and it breaks the fandom etiquette rules i stand by#i ship and stuff and absolutely NO cc needs to be subjected to that please and thank you even if it's a non-ship post#not saying hermits and others cant hang out and interact if they wish hell no but like....#if you as any person with a following willingly go into a fandom space you have to expect to see some things you find weird#doesn't even necessarily mean ship just stuff the cc finds weird :v idk im not phrasing this right but like#the rule with shipping around any sort of media has been to keep it away and not show the creators anything !!! and thats fallen out#of practice the past few years with ppl getting more and more comfortable demanding boundaries and personal info from creators#which isn't right imo bc its like you're trying to see how much you can get away with. u want a guide on how to interact and social skills#which is... huh??? just be polite and keep anything weird away from them like what we were doing#some folks nowadays need “permission” to ship stuff even from SHOWS and shit with no real people and its like wow... huh....#u need it to be canon?? u need everything told to u by the show?? wheres the imagination. the spirit.#the making of everything so far removed from what it once was#like that guy that played nick from heartstopper that had to be outed to play a gay guy. like#idk im so sick of the boundary fandom ppl in mcyt 'what if they saw and made it uncomfortable!! im going to show them!!!!'#you are making them MUCH more uncomfortable than i am by GOING INTO THEIR FACE AND DEMANDING THEY LOOK AT IT!!#AND DEMANDING BOUNDARIES N SHIT... CRAZY.... idk the hermits especially its weird to me bc clearly they understand fandom etiquette#and the dynamic im talking about. most of them understand that by going into fandom spaces they will see things they dont like#which is why a lot of them only like fanart and answer questions asked by fans. even on tumblr !!! where the weird ppl are!!!#they also all seem to understand they are playing characters (citing joel cleo and grian as examples) for their audiences#which is. smth the audience itself doesnt understand most of the time anymore. oh my god they all died in real life in hermitcraft season 8#idk hermitblr used to be a lot more okay with hermitshipping n then a bunch of ppl from other fandoms moved in and its all more negative#and makes me sad. idk...#i never meant for this blog to gain almost 500 followers i just wanted to make silly little ship posts and now im scared to#bc ive gotten hate and its.... bwugh.... tempted to remake blogs and make one thats very clearly just for me and a few weirdos#whatever i went off on a tangent in the tags as usual just pls dont show creators my posts even non-ship ones for this reason#jamies bad posts#talking in tags#serious posts#<- ig??? idk

I had a dream last night where In Stars and Time had gotten a fucking Broadway musical adaptation and I gotta say, waking up to that was confusing but also disappointing because it's not real
#Mari's text#In Stars and Time#I very clearly remember the creator of the game pitched the musical thing like#'The audience for this game are also musical nerds and they NEED a ISAT musical'

thank you phainon for your noble sacrifice of absorbing literally every other kaslanas' doomed narratives and enduring them yourself so the kaslanas of the hsr universe can lead peaceful lives. hsr sirin is loved and happy and gets ice cream whenever she wants because of you
#that 3.4 . did not fuck around oh my god#really good update... i am very much enjoying how everything is starting to tie together#like i said on twitter my only huge critique this time is the trailblazer still having a self-insert aspect to them#this has literally always been an issue but ESPECIALLY NOW like holy shit you guys NEED to overwrite that??#it would make the story so much stronger. and also because of the self-insert aspects stelle's friendship with phainon never truly blossomed#IT HAD SO MUCH POTENTIALLLLLLL to be SO touching and sweet#but stelle and every relationship the game Tells You she is forming... they're always so stifled#i don't need or want stelle to be 'me' in any aspect!!!! i don't want to consider myself a part of this story!!!!#i just want to watch it unfold!!!! i'm happy in my audience seat!#and it's annoying because like i can tell. with the directions they're taking. there is a lot of regret implementing that self insert aspect#the writers clearly want the trailblazer to be an independent character not tied back to the player in any way#but they still won't go all in on overwriting it#too big of a change to the game maybe? too afraid to lose the audience they attracted with it? whatever i don't care...#i would love to see them stop holding themselves back from telling the best story they could........#ugh#other than that no particularly egregious complaints. could have used more cipher imo but it's ok

reading alison weir's new novel; she's adapted and altered the primary source material she's clearly using in a way that is...um. something?
#i mean it's a novel. and it is not called creative license for nothing#i also know im not the target audience and that#the vast majority of the people reading this book are not like me (insofar as i've#read what's available from the archives/state calendar papers from 1533-36...#probably. front to back altogether; chronologically; about a dozen times or so? taken detailed notes etc )#*so i doubt it's a bugbear for many; if any; other than myself#but i was very easily able to pick out the primary source quotes ; and her intent in#placing; for example; a quote from a chapuys report of 1536 in late 1533#and switching the identities of certain people (here; norfolk subbed in for shelton ) for certain incidents#so as to bolster certain theories she clearly has about certain people and their loyalties...#i mean again it's a novel but this is what she does in her nonfiction too; she just has had more liberty to do so here#and there is a reason training in history is important to being labeled 'a historian'#you are to develop your theories from the evidence. not vice versa.#(or more specifically...she does literally the opposite of what historians are trained to do. she molds the evidence to fit her theories. )#anyway. review forthcoming...maybe#i'll have to read her author's note once i'm done with this section to see if she admits to any of these specific alterations#evidence first; theory after! otherwise we end up with all these superficial renderings
