This just in: somehow the hardest part of writing is not the grand descriptions or the beautifully woven tapestry of dialogue and character-driven introspection, but the pain of trying to align time zones for your characters in different states

"It's impossible for a piece of media to have a perfect, thematically flawless ending."

Arcane:

Yet another leftist hypocrisy that drives me crazy is the conflicting arguments that:

"Israel fighting back and letting 'tensions' escalate to 'all-out war' is always bad because war is the worst thing, and war is always bad, and war can never be okay under any circumstances--not even wars of self-defense against attempted wars of annihilation."

But then turn around and say, "Targeting enemy combatants in civilian areas without harming any said civilians is easy <3 lots of war-torn countries do it all the time! <3 but israhell doesn't care enough to even try. >:("

Like, which is it?

The whole theme of classism is just shoehorned in and pointless.

The Mastermind, Blitz randomly states that all he was trying to do was fight against the system that the Sins created. It feels like a big cool line, but where did that even come from!?

He's in court for a crime he didn't commit and even pleaded not guilty ???? Why is he now a martyr for all of imp kind ??? I get him switching from innocent to guilty to save Loona, Moxxie, and Millie, but the whole "I'm an imp that's upset at how lower demons are treated" is just so random and forced in.

And the way the episode ends with the other imps loving and celebrating Blitz ... as if he has ever actually done anything to help them :/

I'm sorry? Did they not all watch the rest of the televised trial where Stoals comes in and literally [lies] says he was behind it all ??? Why is Blitz a hero ???

I understand the angle from say Satan and Andy. Andy lied and framed the situation as a sort of coup (an imp tried to kill a goetia), and Satan bought it and set up the trial/execution around the idea of "lesser demons need to know their place." But beyond that initial scheme from Andy, nothing about what happened has anything to do with classism.

Nothing was changed or fixed, or at the very least, the issue wasn't even brought to light since the trial concluded in a way that moved away from that theme. A higher demon royalty is now believed to have set up his own kidnapping/hit (no imp uprising took place). A higher demon royalty saved the day. A higher demon royalty was the only one punished. A lesser demon did absolutely nothing wrong: didn't try to fight the system, didn't try to inspire an uprising, didn't save the day in any way, didn't get unfairly punished, etc. None of the "sympathetic" royalty/rulers in any way changed anything or had their eyes opened to the class imbalance and injustice-Ozzie and Bea ultimately do not care enough to actually try and do something. Stolas only saved an imp's life because he's in love with this particular imp. The only way any higher up demon cares about lower demons is because they're in love with one, but they really only care about the one.

"All I was trying to do was change the system you forced us in" - imp that is in love with royalty and is only able to make a living because he has this connection, plus is buddy-buddy with literal rulers that also created the very system he hates.

I truly doubt this would happen in a million bajillion years unless everyone involved in this movie is actually insanely real and/or I manage to invent inception and time travel to make it real but

In my Final Reckoning ending, Ethan sacrifices himself (stay with me) to defeat the entity. It's all very sad and stuff, I'm crying, you're crying, benjis crying, maybe he reveals his love either there or in the head touch. Cut to Ethan's funeral, still all very sad, all our favs from past movies (jane and brandt basically) are there, then slowly leave until it's just Benji at his headstone like in sherlock season 2. Then he says "didn't i tell you someday you were gonna take it too far" and someone steps into frame behind him. Bam cut to black and cue the theme.

And then dan and Phil walk out during the credits and kiss holding the pride flag and all that you know the drill

Hitting the "not interested in this post" button over people's endless navel-gaze-y catastrophizing about how "discouraged" and "critical" they're feeling over Veilguard should be an Olympic sport, and brother, I'd bring home the gold

(thank you for the plethora of undodgeable, untagged spoilers btw, bunch of terminally pessimistic dicks)

The Tumblr iOS app fucking sucks dude. I was in the middle of writing a post and then opened my web browser to fact-check something. When I came back to the app the post I was writing just… disappeared. Not in the drafts, not in the home/notifications/etc windows, just fucking gone 😭

seeing an improvement in how bioware handles decisions in past games and making them “matter” in subsequent ones was on my wishlist but also inquisition had an entire subtext/dlc about the inquisitor’s individuality and personhood being consumed and erased so like—

Who is your favourite companion

TOURNAMENT MASTERPOST

propaganda under the cut

Jamie McCrimmon

he wears a kilt throughout his entire time on the tardis (unless he's wearing a spacesuit), he speaks gaelic, he calls aliens/robots beasties/metal beasties, he has my favourite doctor+companion dynamic with the second doctor, he gets excited when he hears bagpipe music (me too), he's extremely loyal to the doctor, and he gets his memories of his travels with the doctor erased by the timelords (they were evil for that), so basically, vote for my boy jamie because scotland.

One side effect of the autistic sense of justice for me is going insane over justice and vengeance as concepts in themselves whenever applicable in media.

Which unfortunately means that thinking about justice dragon age for too long (especially with the post inq takes on spirits) makes me want to rip my hair out.

it's not sinking in that today might be the last day in my house and town for many months to come
