#bc i have been there. bc some things i genuinely seriously ///cannot/// fathom why it happened to me.

ik we talk about "karma" in the sense of "whatever you do will come back to bite you", but in a more realistic sense it just means action. every action has a reaction, etc. which is why its incorrect to blame your god/gods for the way you're mistreated in life bc 1. everyone has free-will and 2. they dont have control over the wheel of karma (at least not in hinduism), so when you're mistreated, you shouldn't ask "what have I done to accrue karma in the form of mistreatment" you should ask "why do these people suck so much", lol. it's not your god/gods punishing you, its other people exercising their free will and choosing to use it in a way that makes them suck as human beings 🤷 dont let people get off the hook by blaming the gods or some sort of nebulous "karma" you cant pin down, blame the people for being pieces of shits, dont let them think they're not actors in this and are just dutifully mistreating you on behalf of the laws of karma, bc they aren't, thats not how karma fucking works.

riverdalians, i have deeply disappointing news. the new Super Eyepatch Wolf Riverdale video.... does not Get It.

i mean it's a rough video on its lonesome too, repeating far too much of stuff he already covered in the first video, but it also doesn't really come to any point. honestly, it just seems incoherent at times. but like. the big crime is that he doesn't Get It. like i understand his frustrations with season 7, i share many of them too, but honestly, as sacrilegious as it may sound, it commits some of the same Art Sins as the FSN video (especially as far as treating Riverdale as trying to say something like John does try to find some meaning at the end but he misses the most obvious thing which is really infuriating. like to an extent it's cultural differences, but then again it's also not my culture that's being deconstructed and i got it so i don't know what to tell you, especially bc Riverdale is not remotely subtle about its deconstructions.), like he brings up plot points that are clearly About something and then just... doesn't confront them. like he clearly points out things like how Percival is old and has been around for a long time and how he's corrupting the soul of the town and basically doing a genocide and is from a long line of genociders and how he is the embodiment of evil but he never connects all those to understand that season 6 is critiquing white supremacy (especially given that Riverdale is not a subtle show, like they are very explicit in their political critiques. i do not understand how he could possibly miss that unless he wasn't paying attention and treating it as actual art.), and that season 7 is a very normal lead into it. like yeah i have critiques of season 7 and their approach to tackling racial issues, but it's very clearly leaning further into the deconstruction that the show is doing. like i'm just so stunned he didn't Get It.

fuck, he doesn't even talk about the fucking series finale! which i feel like is a perfect encapsulation of what he finds fascinating in media. like, after his Garfield video, i thought he would get the haunting, horrific implications of the series finale, but he doesn't even talk about it! yeah. there's just no finale section. he just stops talking about the show at the penultimate episode while clearly playing clips from the finale, and he doesn't talk about the finale, which is so baffling to me that i cannot even fathom that this video was meant to be released. genuinely feel like half the video is missing. what the hell, John. i don't think there's a third video coming so it all honestly just seems like a waste. like in some ways, i guess if his Big Point is that the show is incoherent (which tbh is one of the weakest and most wrong criticisms of Riverdale? like, Riverdale will sometimes have you questioning why something was executed the way it was, or why a certain choice was made. but it's not a hard show to follow. it's not incoherent. you just have to pay attention. because it's a dense show. it's very plot-heavy, so you have to be paying attention. yeah sometimes characters flip about, but there's always a base status-quo as a touchstone for categorizing and explaining their behavior, and if you put aside the motivations the literal events are extremely simple to understand. like seriously it's very easy to follow when you actually have context and aren't listening to random plot points decontextualized in a YouTube video that is less than 1/100th of the runtime of the actual show.) and pointless, making the video incoherent and pointless is like, interesting, and tries to mimic the meta characteristics of the show, but it doesn't make for a particularly fun video to watch, and it also is not like giving the show enough credit as a piece of art, so it's just really irritating as a whole.

genuinely so sad about this lol, like i knew from the first one that a lot of his enjoyment was from the outrageous moments and that he probably wouldn't love season 7 but i didn't think he would just completely miss the point this hard. also the way that he understands that Season 4 was filmed during the pandemic but doesn't understand that the first four episodes of Season 5 are actually part of Season 4? baffling. genuinely so many questionable decisions in that video. i do not understand it. i just. i'm so tired of everyone not getting the most blatant fucking Art that's extremely obvious about what it's doing. Riverdale is not hard to Get and the amount of people i've seen blatantly miss the point is really, genuinely scary in terms of media literacy. like jesus, how could you miss the point of Riverdale S06 and how it connects to S07. how is that even possible. did you watch it with your eyes closed, John.

i've had an ex hack into my internet and turn off the service on valentine's day for not calling or texting

then had the dork at customer service laugh at me and tell me that was cute and they were just trying to get my attention

this type of shit has been so downplayed and normalized my entire life

my privacy has been constantly invaded for so long now i can't even fathom not being under surveillance by the cringiest nails on chalkboard personalities you've ever had the misfortune of encountering. why do you think i blog everything? here it is bitch, everything i ate for dinner so you can take your little notes.

stalking is never taken seriously, especially by cops. those good for nothing motherfuckers dont even take reports and wonder why we prefer them killed than playing pretend sheriff on the streets

i regularly have exes of other people that like or show interest in me hack into my shit attempting to buffalo bill my entire life in some sick attempt to become me so they can keep the attention of the person they are losing. surprise! it doesn't work! you push that person so much further away than had you just attempted to be normal and not some demented manipulative reject

i don't even like that person half the time like you can have them why am i getting dragged into YOUR shit this should be between you and your therapist

i have shit deleted from my notes app and other various material regularly deleted and have to rely on a photographic memory half the time bc people are so sick and weird in their efforts to sabatoge me

i don't care if you think i am dramatic or self-obsessed or delusional! i literally do not care if you live or die. i give zero fucks what you think at all.

i am genuinely nice and nonjudgmental to like an overly generous extent that invites predators to take advantage of my kindness and wonder why i leave them for dead when they cross a line

i hate this version of me provoked! i hate having to resort to turning into this ruthless fucking bitch. it's like, you're the reason we can't have nice things.

specifically to the person actively doing this shit right now: you talk shit about everyone the moment they're not in the room, try to sabotage people to make yourself look better (newsflash: it doesn't work you still look like a psycho loser), and then you cry like a little bitch when you're called out and don't understand why people can't be kind~* to you

you better pray to your god that i don't say your name and blast it across all of our mutual friends you absolute fucking lunatic please stop testing me i promise you this will not end well for you

this is me being kind btw. me not telling everyone what an insane fucking dweeb you have been to me for the last two years is me being extremely kind and generous and thoughtful toward you, which you don't deserve.

i cannot stress enough. do not keep fucking with me. i will not attend your suicide funeral.
