battle for the foreseeable future (bftff) is the official name of my object show! thank you for your input, everyone!!

the last poll tied, so...

*which i'll mention again is part of the human-object singularity timeline!

for a non-topical post... i got another object show idea. yes, aside from bftff (which i still want to work on, of course, cuz i love it to bits)... but an entirely silly, lighthearted one this time! no complex lore and philosophy!

i was thinking all the contestants are stuffed animals... like, the jellycat amusable stuffed animals... and they come to life in an imagination world based on the bed they're in, in which the show would be set (as you can see, for the sake of my suspension of disbelief, it has to be specifically imaginary). the host would either be the kid who owns the stuffed animals, or maybe that kid's teddy bear or something. the point is that the show would be wild and fun and unserious, like animatic battle, bean's show, or early bfb, just with a specific stuffed animal theming!

it makes me so happy when my ii3 analysis gets positive reception!

if i'm being completely honest, the only reason why i went through with breaking ii3 down at all was so i could justify its writing decisions to myself, decisions i'd previously thought were stupid -- i'd internalized what the show had been trying to say previously, treating the writing in ii2 with massive weight and regard, and because of that i couldn't automatically accept that i'd been wrong about ii3 and subsequently switch to liking it (because my disdain for it had been out of a misguided belief that its writing undermined ii2's). i had to explain to myself why it worked within the show, why the character writing was clever and profound, why i should now come to enjoy it; i couldn't accept it without understanding it thoroughly. likewise, these were analyses i had to post publicly, so my peers could recognize that too: that my newfound love of ii3 is one in conversation with my long-standing love of ii2, borne from a critical lens that doesn't take this show's excellence for granted. if i couldn't accept the fact that i warmed up to ii3 without a detailed explanation, i wouldn't assume you'd accept the same of me.

aside from that, though, i love analyzing object shows; i care about them a lot, and so i seek to understand how they function. i'm glad to know others can see how much i care through my analysis :)

if i haven't mentioned it before, 17776 is a HUGE inspiration for battle for the foreseeable future

okay why am i being bombarded with the desire to do 50 things right now

*note how the title should be something the hosts would reasonably come up with in-universe! in case you don't know, the tl;dr of the lore is that humans all turned into objects after a strange event and are now effectively immortal, breaking down a lot of society and returning people to play. the hosts, goldie and bowl, have decided to hold a fun competition show in an nyc park for folks to compete in; the prize is silly and insignificant (like bragging rights or a knickknack), so it's all just a fun way for people to spend their infinite time.

(i personally have a preference for "the world's first object show", especially since the acronym sounds like "two of us" when read aloud!! "battle for the foreseeable future" is also a fun name)

bftff is gonna be crazy... once i figure out how to organize my plans...

should i just do a clipboard again, like i did for grt3d?? i'm trying to plot out the challenges and arcs and stuff, and that worked then - but i want everything to be easily accessible from anywhere, and easily editable, so having it on paper might not be the best call... but the system i have right now (a google drawing) is really annoying to mess with. aaaugh
