#budget be damned

[ultimateaclrecovery]

Reasons I should not be allowed on the internet:

I stumble upon purple things and then I want to buy them. Even if they are ridiculous

I am so obsessed with this tik tok dress that I spent nearly an hour searching for it and cheaper look a likes. But the real thing is 700 dollars and The best dupe was still over 300 and not as cute. And like I super don’t need a prom dress. But like I COULD make use of a super fun 30th birthday dress and my house is basically butterfly themed already…. But not for 700 dollars. Sadly.

But a purple a waffle maker that makes heart shaped waffles with a space for sticks?? For only 30 dollars?? That one I may actually get. I would probably only use it like once a year but it would be perfect for galentines with my chocolate fountain, and I do have the storage space. So that one may be a birthday present to myself.

Constantly torn between I need to stop spending money on ridiculous things and make a good salary and I can buy some of the fun things I want.

Saw 4 SEPARATE SPECIES OF BUG IN MY STUPID APARTMENT TODAY (none of them were bed bugs at least but they were some of the other bug species I loathe and fear the most) I know the fact that its really hot is probably the main reason they're being so active and getting in here, but God damn I'm already crawling through zillow to find my next apartment and I've still got 11 months in this lease. If I ever see a cave cricket in this house with my own two eyes I'm breaking the fuckin lease tho I can promise you that

really wish the build/buy that came with lovestruck was better :/ I love the little bit it came with, but cannot believe we didn't get any new items to make a proper traditional mexican kitchen

Crosshair: Hunter may I please have some more money?

Hunter: I just gave you your allowance! How did you already spend all of it???

Crosshair: *flashbacks to the insane amount of treats, clothes, and toys he bought Batcher, Omega, and Tech and Phee’s kids he bought on a shopping spree*

Crosshair: Inflation is crazy right now.

can you imagine Chuuya joining ADA and being sent out for a mission for the first time ever...Kunikida messaging him like "sorry i have the car today. could you take the bike?" and Chuuya's like "yeah no prob" bc he thinks they're talking about a motorcycle but no it's actually a literal bicycle

[thresholdbb]

I can fix him

Except he is a beloved 58-year-old science fiction franchise being smashed into the ground for profit and I am a potato

oh damn, it's one thing to speculate, but it's another thing to learn that 60 Million Dollars was spent on covid-19 safety/compliance, which is why the 10th episode was inevitably cut

One day, I want to play Manaless Dredge just to see what it's like. I won't let the power consume me.

damn martin walls was not joking around when he said he was going to take the walten files in a more cinematic direction. i have to admit i was hesitant when i first heard that because i didn't know how much the series would change, but man. i was sold the second i saw the opening scene with edd and molly animated in the school gym.

everything looked great, the atmosphere was amazing, the distinct style is there still but more polished and it's so cool to see these characters moving and talking. episodes 1-3 had the scary factor (which walls himself later described as 'over-the-top') but you can really tell that walls must have an extra special talent for this new kind of storytelling. can't wait to see what episodes 5 and 6 bring, i'm sure they'll knock even this last episode out of the park.

if the walten files team can continue these types of episodes but manage to bring back some of that insane dreadful horror that made the series so famous in the first place (in a way that martin walls can still approve of; because i kind of see what he meant by calling the first three episodes 'over-the-top'), i think this fnaf knockoff scary youtube show could actually end up being, no exaggerating, a masterpiece. the three year wait was worth it. fantastic job to the entire team.

I think the number of episodes in a season are like the number of songs on an album, it’s ideally somewhere between 10 and 15

6 episodes is not a season, just like 6 songs is not an album, that’s an EP

Most of my reaction thoughts for Blue Boys ep 8 are here, but I wanted to add a couple more thoughts.

Did Suk stick the landing? I think they did. I was satisfied they gave us a happy ending that was sweet, believable, and logical. Although the Taeha arc was stomach turning to watch, it helped Jaemin understand himself better and realize how much he loved Nami. The only real gripe I have with the conclusion of the Taeha arc is that we still don't entirely understand why Jaemin was shaken by Taeha. Was it only because he was physically attracted to him? Or was Taeha right when he said Jaemin was lonely?

If Jaemin is lonely with such an attentive boyfriend, then there are deeper issues here. I wish they could have addressed this and had Nami and Jaemin talk it out. That would have made everything feel more complete. One of Blue Boys' weaknesses is its episode length. In both episode 4 and 7, the audience is never completely clear about what Jaemin is thinking and why he does what he does. If only we had more time.

I liked Nami and Jaemin's reconciliation scene even though I've seen a lot of comments disappointed with Jaemin's apology.

I can understand that, Jaemin only said sorry and didn't really explain himself. However, I think Jaemin has always been like that. I feel like this is him being sincere and being truly sorry. I do wish we got to see him grovel, but it was never going to happen. Nami loves him too much to let him.

NAMIIIIII!🫠🫠🫠 Nami loves Jaemin so much. Nami played with Jaemin's ear again. 😊 I may have made giddy squealing sounds here. I've seen some comments hating on Jaemin because it's always Nami that "sacrifices" in the relationship. It's Nami who went after Jaemin after Sol, and it's Nami who is forgiving Jaemin after Taeha. I don't think we can expect relationships to be so transactional. It's not always going to be a "fair" 50/50 split. Sometimes, there is someone who loves more in a relationship, so they will be doing more of the coaxing and heavy lifting. What Nami does for Jaemin is not a sacrifice to him, and I think that's beautiful and very sweet.

It means so much to Nami that Jaemin said I love you first! I completely agree with @ddeohaming that Hoolim nailed it with his subtle facial expressions.

🫠🫠 I loved the exchange of I love yous. 🫠🫠 After all that stress Suk put us through, this is the ending we deserve. Despite all that has happened between them, Nami and Jaemin's bond is stronger than ever and I love that for them.

No Blue Boys reaction post is complete without bringing up how good Nami and Jaemin's kisses are.

I love this kiss so much. I love the light shining down from above giving the kiss an ethereal feel. I love how gentle, yet full of desire the kiss is. I love the way Nami cradles Jaemin's face. I love the way they suck on each other's lips. I love it all.

I could watch them kiss forever. So sensual. So hot.

One of the strangest takes I've seen about the finale are from the people who wanted a BE. They feel that Jaemin "mentally cheated" on Nami by being shaken by Taeha and having that horny dream about him. They feel like Jaemin is a horrible person and a cheater who doesn't deserve Nami. I try to respect all opinions, but this one is just weird to me. Having a dream about Taeha could very well represent something that's not even about Taeha at all. Cheating is a conscious act that requires acting on many decisions made together and not something that happens when you're asleep. Finding yourself attracted to someone while in a relationship is also not cheating as long as you don't act on that attraction. I admit Jaemin didn't exactly cover himself in glory with letting Taeha kiss him in the park, but he resolutely rejected Taeha after that and made sure it would never happen again, so I'll give him a pass on that one. It's not great, but not enough to make me write Jaemin off. I guess for the Jaemin haters, they wanted to see a fairy tale pure love rather than the more realistic messy love that Suk gave us.

I'm really going to miss Nami and Jaemin. I'm hoping another production (or even Suk again) will hire Hoolim and Seungjin again for another bl. Chances are slim, but their chemistry is too good to waste. Imagine what they could do in series with a budget and a decent runtime. I complain about too many acting pairs in Thai bl, but there aren't enough in kbl. Ever since we lost Jiwoong and Seobin, there hasn't been another kbl acting pair. Hoolim and Seungjin could fill that void. 🤡

You all ever think of what would've happened if Isagani wasn't SO hopelessly in love with Paulita?? Would he still be alive? Would he still be staring at her from afar on that street? Would he still rush in to get the lamp? So many questions, no answers cause it never happened
