when y- when weh when you turn 26 and lose your parents health insurance coverage so you apply for a “real” job with benefits that you’re definitely under qualified for and end up getting it and then they merge the position you applied for with another position (bc the person originally filling that role quit weeks after you were hired and they don’t wanna rehire) so now suddenly you’re not only trying to learn how to do the job you originally applied to do but also getting handed tasks in an area you have ✨zero experience or interest in✨ and now you’re mourning the part time job you held for 5 years and had to leave simply in pursuit of surviving in the world as an adult and every day is a nightmare

crowning ronan lynch the undisputed pining king
#god he’s insufferable about it#(affectionate)#literally can’t go 2 sentences in ronan’s pov w/o a thought getting connected to adam#holy hell#the way maggie subtly introduces adam into ronan’s thoughts#increasing his presence in barely noticeable increments#it’s MASTERFUL#she starts with everything very subtly woven in metaphors and imagery and uncloaks it bit by bit#that you’ll only see for what they are if you’re really looking#she doesn’t hit you in the face with ‘ronan wants adam’#you get to feel ronan’s longing grow as you go along#it starts as ‘oh i’m thinking about him’#then ‘oh i’m thinking about him again’#‘oh wow i’m thinking about him a lot’#‘oh god i can’t stop thinking about him everything is him he’s everything’#and because maggie doesn’t introduce ronan’s fat crush on him from the get go as part of ronan’s character#you get to go on that journey of Noticing with ronan#which is fucking awesome#you get to pick up on his feelings at the same time he does#which is frankly insane and makes for such a rewarding reading experience#god maggie i have so much more appreciation for your talent as an older and more educated human#14 y/o me had no idea the quality of what she was reading#21+ me’s mind is BLOWN by the sheer craftsmanship of this series#but also that’s the whole point of this series: you’ll only be rewarded with finding things if you’re really willing to look.#june’s trc reread#pynch#ronan lynch#adam parrish#trc

I wish parents who are hardcore “wHat do YOu wAnT froM SAnTa????” “be GOOD or SANTA won’t come” “the elf is watching” general Christmas surveillance parents could figure out their lies w/o impacting or involving the rest of us.
I don’t wanna be complicit in this charade 😅 Esp when kids are asking me redic questions?? Like noooooo. I’m not saying shit bc I don’t causally lie sorryyyyyyyyy.
I get they think all this is cute or whatever but I didn’t like it as a kid and I don’t like it now.

i think there needs to be more of ava & lilith getting to have a fucked up sibling relationship in which they demonstrate the saying that hate and love are opposite sides of the same coin. lilith being the “no one else gets to hurt my sibling except for me.” ava being a cruel reminder to lilith of how she’s strived so long and hard, following all the arduous rules, for acceptance, and family, purpose and belonging. and yet ava suddenly comes in and gets all of that and more dropped into her lap, and she doesn’t even want it.
tl;dr: ava & lilith being wholesome siblings in aus is undeniably cute, but let ava and lilith be siblings with a very complicated and/or bad relationship more too

The Blackbeak Matron is a brutal woman with not an ounce of love to any of her offspring. I don’t imagine her being kind to Lothian— like, she was her Heir, her training is harder and more brutal than what other witches would undergo.
Despite that harshness and brutality, Lothian was nothing like her. She she just couldn’t quell that side of her daughter: she was kind, warm and full of hope. The Matron couldn’t change that.
I think that what Lothian did, mating with a Crochan prince of all people and believing that the child they conceived would bring peace to their people is what tipped the Matron over the edge.
Killing her daughter soon after giving birth, she decided that she’d been too soft. Something she will not do with her granddaughter, her new Heir.
This is why I believe that Manon endured worse shit from the Matron than anyone did before. Her grandmother simply didn’t want to risk her being soft, like her mother, and made sure that Manon would not even recognize that.
This is the reason why Manon has a hard time with emotions because she wasn’t taught these things. All she knows is brutality and the different ways she can kill people. She endured a lot at the hands of her grandmother but because of that upbringing, she just carried on without giving anything a second thought.
But deep down, Manon is Lothian’s daughter. No matter how brutal the Matron got, no matter how harsh she was, she couldn’t change that. I think she realized that all she did didn’t fully kill whatever kindness might have been passed down to Manon when she picked Abraxos to be her wyvern. I believe it was that moment the Matron realized that despite everything she did, there was no changing that.
It didn’t stop her. Because she got worse. From that moment, she decided to use those feelings against Manon. Punish her for her compassion by threatening to take away everything she loves. It’s mainly the reason she kept targeting Asterin, and forcing Manon to be the one who does these things because at the end of the day, Manon still seeks her approval. She will do anything if it gets her noticed by her grandmother and this is why the Matron kept using Asterin against her. It was something Manon would want to avoid, but it will always be there: one mistake and it’s her cousin’s life. This way, the Matron had full control over Manon and ensured that she’d never rebel against her.
This is a woman who never displayed an ounce of love or affection to her granddaughter. Honestly she probably started Manon’s training early on, not taking the chance to turn her ‘soft’. I believe she prohibited anyone from coddling the Heir. She wouldn’t allow anyone to show her any affection or any display of love. Those who did, lost their lives.
Honestly, when Yrene hugged Manon during that scene? I knew she was going to freeze and not do anything. Because she doesn’t recognize the gesture, she has no idea what it means or how to respond so she just froze.

I hate micro transactions and permanently limited content I hate micro transactions and permanently limited content I HATE MICRO TRANSACTIONS AND PERMANENTLY LIMITED CONTENT

#I started playing sky children of light and it’s so cute but they’re whole cosmetic acquiring system is so fucking stupid it angers me#yeah limit a GOOD chunk of your content behind a limited paywall that if you don’t pay and participate in the time frame it’s gone forever#and no one will ever EVER see it again haha sorry if you didn’t know this game existed when it was available it’s too late now#like some of it comes back and I get a bp function but like man#I had no idea this game existed till recently or the fact it had so much stuff in it#only to find out anything mildly interesting is from a season released on the first year#the game is like 5-6 years old now? something like that#and even though some content comes back occasionally there’s so much content at this point it will take forever for things to rotate through#and it’s only SOME not everything from that season pass#like holiday events being gone till next year? sure yeah I get it they want my money it’s okay#but basic content feeling like there’s a one in a million chance you’ll lay eyes on it ever again? that’s crazy#on top of the fact it’s so hard to find out where most content comes from??? and finding a coherent source that’s not a disc I’d never#guess existed unless my sister told me?#DEVS FIX YOUR GAME#only think keeping me playing and grinding is so I can max stuff out as much as I can so I get snag that jellyfish fit when it comes back#I’m also just so so so sick of every game I enjoy wanting all of my money for the simplest things#what happened to releasing a full game where cosmetics and fun extras were a grindy process that felt rewarding#I’d take buying dlc/expansions over dumb cosmetic micro transactions ANY day#okay coming back to add the fact that though there are basic cosmetics you can grind for without real money it doesn’t look that cool#it’s mostly just recolors of the basic cape and plain white outfits#aka do you#like pants or shorts or bell bottoms or leggings#aka a lot of the basic free cosmetics you grind for are boring af

Just finished watching Detective Conan Movie 26: Black Iron Submarine to prepare for watching M27, and I can honestly say it was such a great movie!
First one to get my heart pumping from among one of dc’s latest movies in a while. Great action scenes from Conan, Ran and also the one with Akai. Ngl Shiho calling him ‘Shinichi-kun’ was cute. The scene where they were swimming up to the surface was beautiful, and with the accompanying soundtrack to boot! I absolutely loved all the callbacks to the previous bo movies and bo members (like Irish and Curacao), as well as Haibara’s association of Ran with Akemi. Speaking of Ran, my baby was absolutely badass in this movie. Again ngl, Haibara’s feelings toward Shinichi and Ran really give me a lot of angst. She just loves Shinichi a lot, but I can also say she loves Ran just as equally, if not more so she really exemplifies that sort of selfless love. Speaking of angst, it was a tiny moment, but Shinichi’s forlorn look as he looks at his tiny arms and being unable to physically save Ran as he is now really got to me for some reason.
And speaking of callbacks, I do love how Vermouth once again, despite her moral greyness, still acts with Shinichi’s words and Ran’s actions in mind that you really don’t need a reason to save someone, that despite that she hates Shiho, it can be something as having a Fusae brooch in exchange.
I hope M27 will prove to be as great if not better.

oh THANK GOD
there are only three quests you can use for an infinite rings exploit and the way they work is that you get rings in the text before the reward screen, so if you close the app after getting the rings but before the reward screen, it resets that part of the quest. the first one (know your friends, i think it’s called?) needs your mc so you can’t really progress the main storyline, and the second needs ezra, like so:
Tumblr media
he’s not required for any important quests until much later, but i’ve still got about 5 side quests sitting there that need him.
but the third one, do you know julian, DOESNT need any of the main characters. i forget if it needs any other classmates (i just know that i used it in my original game and it was sustainable), but ezra is FINALLY free!
#ok well not quite. i’ve gotta DO the quest first#but god what a relief. this is the PERMANENT ring exploit quest#the first two were just to tide me over until this one#hss#personal#oh that’s right the last req is ‘complete a party with julian’#now watch me get one of the questions wrong so i don’t get the reward#it also has infinite coins and books. all of them have coins but the ezra one doesn’t have books#so i’m starting to get low on them even after the hundreds of thousands i saved from the first quest#oh you have no idea how much of a relief this is i can finally relax#but things are picking up with hss:#i’ve decided i’m only gonna get one of each gender of classmate unless absolutely necessary (so far i’ve needed 3 jocks and that’s it)#and this week i finally got the skater girl i needed to progress the main quest#(with infinite rings i know i could just buy them but i’m committed to partying. rip ever getting a prom queen lmao)#i also unlocked kallie yesterday (and i understand why nobody ever talked about her. that took WAY TOO LONG)#(i bought pencils in my original game but the server’s shut down now. had to do it the slow way. it took MONTHS)#i feel like there’s something else i did that was significant…….#oh yeah just now (at the same time i unlocked this quest) i finished the party that officially gets me one of every classmate#of the types i can get that is. don’t have rebels yet rip#i should look up which classmate i’ll need two of next so i can start working on it#the rarer ones can take weeks (or months. but i don’t think i’ll need a homecoming/prom queen for a quest?)#sometimes i forget i played this game for YEARS and only got by with exploits (and lbr spending WAAAY too much real money on it)#(hwu was worse because you couldn’t exploit it)#but i never paid rings for classmates. i always partied#sometimes i rushed parties but i still did them#wait. hold on a second. i have phoebe. she’s a prom queen. it’s the prom KING i don’t have lmaoooo that’s easy#when i say i only get a boy and girl of each that doesn’t include main characters or vips so i’ll still eventually party for a prom queen#but yeah i do have one lmao
