I find it sad, pathetic, funny and cute in that cartoon network is airing the old man and his seat two times tonight in a row. All I do is sit around the house and get drunk and cry-I would never waste my precious free time watching Cartoon Network, but I happened upon the schedule for the night and I think it's funny, silly, in a really pathetic way that it feels like Rick has the same drunk sad drunk soulfully loveless aimless energy as much as I do, just sitting on a TV screen instead of real life

Do u think Karkat and Jade share some sense of loneliness? With both of them not really being able to connect with other people for the first 13 years of their lives because of outsides forces (Being a mutant in Alternia and living in an island alone)
yea
i like to imagine they connect like that, just a small detail. its nice and really depressing, they turned out very differently.
though yes jades isolation is a bit more important (plot wise-ish) than karkats, but its still a very interesting parallel
With both of them not really being able to connect with other people for the first 13 years of their lives
i mean for karkat it was probably a nightmare, not being able to connect with anybody physically for years and just having to deal with yourself and just... with self loathing a part of it? yeah probably really lonely. though karkats life pre-sgrub is a bit more vague than jades, its kind of obvious that he didnt have any physical interactions (other than crabdad) due to the fact that he needed to be protected by well, alternias whole.. everything system. i think about karkats life pre-sgrub a lot, actually
and jade? loneliest girl on earth. she didnt really have anybody (except for her grandpa but .. You know. Dead. taxidermized. or after she was a toddler. i say 2 years old) and she was left on prospit wondering and the only time she was with another person was with a sleeping john in the other tower. and all the prospitians. but that was her main physical interactions (were not using bec because .. Dog. woof bark woof bark)
because of outsides forces (Being a mutant in Alternia and living in an island alone)
and thats the saddest part, it really isnt either of their faults for any form of isolation.
anyways sorry if i got anything incorrect or just kind of got things straight up wrong. its 1:20 am (as im currently re-vising) and i am too tired to correct myself
now i know this is more of a fully canon analysis. but i do want to give my opinions on how it would effect them after the game
using the fact in the credits that they do live together (with d*ve. why am i even censoring his name? because its funny) i think they would prefer to be close to each other. for karkat its more of the fact that i think he still would feel a bit sorry (not in the sense that he didnt feel all that sorry during the game when he was harassing jade, but i mean that the feeling still lingers from time to time) and would try to just stay near her to make sure shes alright
and jade would be near karkat because of the fact of their relationship during the game. i feel like after she did forgive him during the game she did get more curious. like the reactions he had with the passwords. probably just wanting to have someone around that was talking to her for so long and was bothering her while she was still alone, just the concept of someone who was bullying you for maybe.. MONTHS (i.e "CG: HI AGAIN, IDIOT.") (emphasis on again) .. YEARS?? (or on her part) is just.. near you. physically. it brings an awkwardness between them. from how they were isolated and bothering each other and now just... together ??? physically?? it probably is so strange to them . strange to me mostly but it is a strange concept in itself
but i digress this part, i just started rambling about it

End of Lachoweek2023 but not the end of this brilliant fandom.
I've been a huge fan of Nacho and when Lalo appears in 4x8, when it first aired I got the sense he would be another type of Salamanca. I felt immediately deeply fascinated by Eduardo. My favorite in BB was Gustavo Fring and Lalo Salamanca in BCS is "the Gustavo Fring of BCS", I'm talking as the main villain and his level of smartness, cunningness, charisma, charm. He's so badass!
I've been a fan of Nacho and Lalo separately then, felt that underlying tension between them. Yes Nachito was already "marked" in BB as the traitor and in BCS we cried with him, knowing he made mistakes but was good at heart. He wants a new life, with his dad. Who could not stand with Nacho through the seasons ?
"It wasn't me, it was Ignacio"
But I was wondering, what would happen, will Lalo learn the truth about Tuco and Hector ? No because he was really too blinded by Nachito. Funny knowing Lalo is so smart, the creators of BB/BCS even compared him to Hank Schrader but from the Cartel.
I saw the beginning of Lacho fandom and his continuation, and I've loved all the eras when S4, S5, S6 aired. And even when the show ended, there were still new fans, wonderful people and artists. We've got theories, analysis, fanfictions, arts, videos...
I want to thank you all for your devoted past and present works in this community of fans. This week eased a bit of my pain, because I've lost someone dear to me recently, in a tragic way. So seeing all these fan works was helping me to think a bit about one of my passion.
I can't wait to see lachoweek2024 after lachoweek2023. Love you all and take care of you and your relatives.

they should invent a device that forces people to switch brains with me for like an hour so they see what it's fucking like to have a perma whirring brain and train of thought that inevitably translates to how you speak and that burns through your normal level of energy so much that you can just pass out out of nowhere or end up too tired to cook one(1) egg

this is objectively a stupid thing to stew over because The Bright Sessions obviously wasn’t trying to be High Art and i was just listening to it while running errands and shit, but
it’s been a couple days and man
i still can’t get past how hard that show leaned into the whole “anyone who is not Superficially Pleasant And Nice And Chummy is not only awkward/ill-fitting/socially weird but actually wrong and bad” thing, near the end of Damien’s plotline
it just gives me the absolute heebie jeebies. when i bumped my knee against this ~theme~ in The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet i felt like i needed to shower for a week to get the yuck off. i mean i read plenty of stuff by people whose worldviews i find actively repugnant, but those bother me way less than the cozy-group-hug vibe of This Particular Kind Of Fiction. i think maybe because there are plenty of repugnant worldviews that are least based in something, some kind of (rotten) premises or (misguided) ideal they’re trying to achieve or some self-consistent conception of the good. whereas this Group Hug (Except For That One Guy, You Know The Guy) stuff is a conception of the good based on nothing, literally nothing beyond how blandly pleasant someone is to hang out with, and fuuuuuck that
in my paranoid moments i worry this sort of thing is just becoming The Default Moral Ideology of my general irl social class/milieu and i freak all the fucking way out (flashback to that one time i went on [mildly bougie vacation] with some acquaintances and absolutely started sobbing on the car ride home even though nothing bad had happened, it was just this dreadful vibe)... but realistically i’m p sure this is just a tiny weird self-satisfied corner of the world that has disproportionate influence in, like, YA publishing and a couple other weird corners or something
but who the fuck knows.
anyway if paradise doesn’t have sinners i’m not fucking going
