I'm starting Mission to Zyxx Season 5 now, and I have feelings about that.

First, it generally scares me when people hype anything up at all because there is no guarantee that anyone values the exact same thing I do to the same degree. Even if I trust the creators of a thing to value something and try to do right by it, that doesn't always necessarily mean it will be successful, especially if that involves doing something wildly different than what made it good in the first place (I have been burned this way before). I guess I'm just hoping they continue the format of goofy improv shenanigans for the majority of it with something more planned and emotional in the finale if they want, like they've been doing all along. I'd think they would, and I've heard nothing bad about the ending, but I guess it still makes me nervous because I'm so close to the end and I want it so badly to stick the landing. I'm setting my expectations on the floor so I can be surprised instead of disappointed, but honestly, I don't need it to be better, I just need it to be on par with the rest.

Second, and more briefly, I'm happy it's (hopefully) ending before it has a chance to decline. I am so on board with that philosophy. But on the other hand, finishing a thing that I really, really like and knowing there's not another one out there gives me a special kind of heartache. Like, I know there will be other good media, and stuff that's good and unique in other ways, but I know for a fact that there are no other podcasts out there that have the same mix of a balance of off-the-wall improv and structured narrative, quality comedy, fantastical sci-fi setting and loveable characters, and high quality production. There are other things out there with many of those qualities, but nothing that checks every one of those boxes. It's a lightning-in-a-bottle thing that very much feels like the right people had to be in the right place at the right time to do it. Attempts to do it again would feel hollow because it had to be born out of necessity and passion and the talents of the people involved, so if you switch out the people it loses the reasons it's great, and if the same people tried to do it again it'd feel tired. That makes me so, so grateful it exists, but also so, so sad that it doesn't, and I'm 80% of the way done. When it's over, it's over.

Anyway. Now that that's all out there, I'm just gonna finish listening and have fun. Wish me luck.

How do you have kids and don’t make them do chores. I’ll never get it, man. They grow up to be one of those ppl who’s never washed a single dish before and are usually dirty and of privilege mind. Parents essentially sending their usually annoying kids out into the world to be an even further nuisance just because they don’t know how to do simple, everyday chores when they are fully capable of doing so and are able bodied.

Can I make a confession. I do not get the paranoia around selling bound fanfic

i am so done with crying this week. first i hear the sunspot, and now these penultimate eps of his man. i already cried last week and this week i cried even more. seriously, this is not fair.

i don’t exactly wanna give a person by person run down for these eps seen as there wasn’t a lot of drama, it was more about healing a lot of different relationships and coming to terms with the show being over which is always hard. but looking back, i have really enjoyed this season. and i think what makes his man as a show special is that, from the 3 seasons we’ve had so far, all of them have felt different, and i feel like the staff are really good at working off what is happening naturally between these people to craft and guide the show. it makes it so that the people on the show really do make it, whatever develops is what we see and it gives such a good insight into just what it’s like to be human and develop relationships of all kinds. season 1 had its first season awkwardness and season 2 had its big romance but also felt a lot more romantic, but this season felt fun, in both its drama and it’s lighter moments, i was always enjoying watching, and im not mad just bc i don’t have another great junseongho love story. yes it’s premise is a dating show, but it’s more throw 8 men into a house for a week and see what happens, and this season i felt like touched more on like… the intensity of the whole thing, and how it effects people and how people dealt with it, like for so many of them we saw them at their lowest most overwhelmed point but we also saw them come out from it and be happy again, and it was the people around them that helped them. no matter what was going on, there was always a sense of ‘we’re in this shitstorm together so it’s alright, i can be by your side’. take this last ep, we saw so many people cry, and what touched me the most is that whenever someone was upset, they were never left alone. they always had someone to comfort them in whatever way they could, be it reassurance or jokes or just company. it almost felt like the end of a high school movie where everyone who’s been mean to each other through the whole thing says sorry and and joke and move past everything and have fun which i love. just as much as finding a romantic partner, this show has come to be about building friendships within the gay community, where you can talk to someone that has that experience or is just similar to you in that way so you have that comfort and space to be yourself. these people are so vulnerable on this show bc it’s the shows nature to expose parts of people that make them the most vulnerable, like only on this dating show do you get fully grown men crying like babies, and while it’s difficult, it’s also like a fast-track to make strong bonds with the people around you, like shared trauma but nicer. idk, i don’t know where im going with this rant, it’s just both the hwi and jaeseung and hwi and seungjin moments really touched me and i needed to stop crying so i started typing. i just love how human this show is and i love friendship and i love love. goodnight.

If you think coming out as gay is hard try telling people you actually like the stealth sections with MJ and Miles in Spider-Man PS4.

i took 7 people to see the substance yesterday they were like hm...

[tariah23]

So pissed because I rly do still love limbus’ story (writing is fantastic) and literally every character (solid 10/10 characters 😭) but unfortunately, they’re all tied to a shitty company who will rather spread their assholes for weirdo incels than protect their artist’s/ employees whenever they face any form of harassment and abuse bro. The fact that I can easily see this happening again and soon is crazy to me.

[honestlybrambleclaw]

not to be That Guy but i am. not excited for the welcome to derry prequel show. like i HOPE that i will be wrong and it will be good and add something valuable to the original story but my problem is that IT has never been about derry. or even fucking pennywise for that matter. IT is about beverly, bill, stan, richie, ben, and mike, like, at it's core. its about childhood friendship and overcoming fears and bullies and like forging a bond so so so closely with your best friends in the world. i know anyone that actually gives half of a fuck about the integrity of the the original work already knows that but from the first look we've gotten so far i cant help but think theyre just going to try to catch lightning in a bottle for a second time. and i just don't think IT and derry and a group of kids can be done in that way again.
