The only comparison I'll make with the main characters of Genshin and Star Rail, as someone who has been playing them both, is this: Rizz.
The traveler pulling people from every nation they arrive makes sense. Their all proper, polite, cute, and a national hero. Of course they've got admirers. Sometimes they can be rude or harsh but its within reason.
But the MC from Star Rail? Nothing short of a feral goblin. They've come to space after escaping containment with the literal cancer of worlds placed in them and armed with nothing but a bat. Enamored with trashcans and carries trashbags with them everywhere like a trash racoon. Hides in a closet to scare hotel staff. Their needlessly dramatic with the potential to be rude and unserious in any situation. They are weird. Literally expected to pull NOBODY. Has NEGATIVE rizz.
But its also hilarious to think of Star Rail MC actually managing to charm somone. Cuz u know damn well they are questioning themselves. Existential crisis imminent.
#genshin impact#honkai star rail#genshin#genshin traveler#the star rail MC still pretty tho#but there's only so much looks can do when you're digging thru garbage#also that part where they look forward to Bronya arresting them#and Bronya point blank says there's something wrong with them#characters being uncomfy with MC is going to a common occurrence i think

i unapologetically, unironically love crush. like it tries so hard to be anti-spuffy but david fury was a FOOL to think that the line "I'm drowning in you, Summers" wasn't going to irreparably alter my brain chemistry. that Spike almost falling over himself to open a door for Buffy wasn't going to make me positively unhinged.
literally the only thing i don't like about this episode is fury patronising the audience with his ham-handed, puritanical Hunchback analogy.
but it's fine, 'cause buffy didn't do the reading.
#you tried so hard david and you just kept digging yourself deeper#like... maybe controversial but this episide is up there with something blue for me#sometimes i still gotta watch through hands over my face#but i love love love it#dawn speaking on the entire audience's behalf#and playing the role of someone who wasn't traumatised by angelus and doesn't have an (understandably) polarised view of soul lore#“i don't think spike's icky”#you're right dawn and you're right to say it#spuffy#buffy#spike#spike btvs#spike x buffy#buffy the vampire slayer

Hot take: The people who are STILL insisting that Izzy is homophobic (despite the NUMEROUS instances of the cast/crew/David himself saying that nobody on the show is being targeted for their identity and ‘it’s not “I can’t believe he’s with a guy” but “I can’t believe he’s with THAT guy”‘ ad nauseam) towards Stede, Lucius, or Ed (I don’t believe I’ve seen anyone say anything about Fang or Pete, though I could be wrong, but I’m gonna touch on that in a bit too*)? They’re, unironically, being homophobic by stereotyping the characters and reducing them to just their sexuality.
If you recognize that Stede is a multifaceted character and you recognize the ways in which he is multifaceted - He’s a man born into wealth and raised on classist, colonialist ideals. Yes, he’s also traumatized by how he was treated by his father and peers but trauma doesn’t exempt people from blame when participating in, embracing, enforcing, and benefiting from classist and colonialist ideals - you will understand that Izzy is not being homophobic towards him just because he hates him.
If you only view Stede as a gay man and ignore everything else about his character then the only motivation for Izzy to hate him MUST be because he’s a gay man and therefore Izzy MUST be homophobic.
If you recognize that Lucius is a multifaceted character and you recognize the ways in which he is multifaceted - He’s a man who likely was born into some level of the middle class, given that he can read and write (It’s also possible that he was born into a working class family and he learned to read and write there, but it’s the unlikely option by default. None of the rest of the working class crew know how to read or write save Jim who was raised by a nun and would have been taught by her.), he also avoids doing work which is necessary for the function of the ship that they live on and depend on for their livelihoods and encourages the rest of the crew to do the same with his insubordination. He’s also in an unorthodox relationship that people who have not experienced the concept of consensual non-monogamy would not understand and might interpret as cheating - you will understand that Izzy is not being homophobic towards him just because he hates him.
If you only view Lucius as a gay man and ignore everything else about his character then the only motivation for Izzy to hate him MUST be because he’s a gay man and therefore Izzy MUST be homophobic.
If you recognize that Ed is a multifaceted character and you recognize the ways in which he is multifaceted - He’s a man of color, born into a working class family who worked hard to make a name for himself, to the point where he did not have to endanger himself or his crew to earn their livelihoods. He’s also some level of neurodivergent and understimulated by the environment he’s in (because he excels at his job) which leads him to make irrational and dangerous decisions and puts the lives of himself and his crew in danger. He’s also been making increasingly out of character decisions (corroborated by Fang and Ivan) by the influence of Stede - you will understand that Izzy is not being homophobic towards him just because he’s angry about his relationship with Stede.
If you only view Ed as a gay man and ignore everything else about his character then the only motivation for Izzy to be angry about his relationship with Stede (and only Stede, because he had no qualms about Ed and Calico Jack’s involvement with one another given that he sent Jack to get Ed out of the way of the English, but that’s another post I don’t have the spoons to make) MUST be because he’s a gay man and therefore Izzy MUST be homophobic.
If you IGNORE that Izzy is a multifaceted character and you IGNORE the ways in which he is multifaceted - He’s a gay (we’re not having this argument) working class man who earned his high ranking position on an extremely respectable pirate’s crew. He’s capable and is rightfully angry when he’s looked down on because of his class. He recognizes the importance of ship maintenance and is rightfully angry when those tasks are ignored. He doesn’t understand Lucius’ relationship dynamic and thinks he can use (what he thought was) him cheating on his partner (seriously, how is ‘I’m going to tell the man you were fucking that you were fucking another man’ threatening to out him?) as a motivation to make him do the necessary ship work. He is rightfully angry when his orders are ignored because he’s the highest authority on the ship next to the captains. He is in love with Ed and is jealous because Ed is in love with Stede - you can pretend that Izzy is homophobic because of how he behaves towards the other gay men on the ship.
If you ignore that Izzy has valid reasons for his actions (which does not mean that the actions are all entirely justified) then the only motivation for them MUST be because he’s homophobic.
(* The persistent neglect of Fang and Pete in these discussions is also rooted in homophobia. Fang and Pete are the only explicitly gay men on the ship who don’t, at any point, present ‘femininely’** and therefore don’t fall so easily into the bubble of the stereotypical gay man and so they get ignored in these discussions because they aren’t suitable to push the narrative that Izzy only interacts negatively towards ‘feminine’/’gnc’** gay men.)
(** The insistence that Stede, Lucius, and Ed are in any way, at any point, LEGITIMATELY presenting ‘femininely’ or are ‘gender non-conforming’ is ALSO rooted in homophobia - and I’d argue a touch of racism via Ed’s hair and beard as they relate to his indigenous roots. The assumption/association with those three being considered feminine comes from their identity as gay men. That is homophobia.
Stede wears men’s clothes. He wears RICH men’s clothes. Bright, colorful, patterned fabrics are worn by RICH men in the 1700s - if you want to argue that, say, king George presented femininely or was gnc because of the way he dressed be my guest but you won’t because he doesn’t and he isn’t. Lucius wears men’s clothes. His clothes are perfectly at place amongst the rest of the crew’s clothes. Ed wears men’s clothes. His leather is in direct relation to gay leather-men which is a hyper-masculine aesthetic in the same way drag is - typically - a hyper-feminine aesthetic. His appreciation for Stede’s clothes comes from the wealth and privilege that centers around the easy possession of those types and quantities of fabrics.
None of them behave in ways that are stereotypically feminine. Having and expressing emotions is not a uniquely or inherently feminine trait. Caring for and maintaining your appearance is not a uniquely or inherently feminine trait. Even if they were, Izzy also does those things. Izzy frequently expresses his emotions - yes, anger, a stereotypically ‘masculine’ emotion, but others as well. He also puts a great deal of care into his appearance, aside from the materials, the only difference between his and Stede’s outfits are the type of shoes and the presence of a jacket. If those traits are to be considered inherently feminine then it is disingenuous to not apply that label to Izzy as well.)
#the dork is being a dork#izzy hands#the izcourse#always feels like i'm swinging at a hornet's nest tagging them but#edward teach#stede bonnet#lucius spriggs#seriously tho we're not doing the 'izzy isn't canonically gay' shit.#if you're still peddling that at this point you're basically saying that your opinion is only worth dismissal#because you don't know how to listen or pay attention to anything that isn't spelled out for you in a goddamn picture book#and MAN have we been given practically kindergarten level reading comprehension tests by the cast/david#it's okay to admit you were wrong about this by the way#you're not going to be forgiven for the constant and consistent harassment you've engaged in towards people who were saying the right things#from the beginning (izzy is gay and none of what he does is motivated by homophobia) but you're at least not digging yourself deeper for#when your INSISTING on it being true doesn't pay off

What if you did the worst thing in the world what if you stained your soul so black there was nothing left and then some fucking guy said I see the shape of your personhood through the horror you've wrapped it in and I love it enough to demand that you change for the better? What then?? every day Gerald Tarrant wakes up.
#coldfire trilogy#gerald tarrant#damien vryce#something something the first thing to do is stop digging#something something when you've stopped digging you're still in the hole#the way damien gives gerald the understanding and forgiveness he does not deserve#and in return gerald has to drag himself out of the deepest hole anyone's ever been in#the way damien can carry him out of literal hell but the work of self improvement is geralds path to walk

The Only Character Ever Source Dude Trust Me My Dad Works At Library Of Ruina
one of the rare characters that makes me lose it in that specific way in which i literally cant watch random people talk about her or else ill give myself heart palpitations <333 i saw a mildly off-base take about her One Time and it made me want to chew through drywall. absolutely fucking fascinating effect that one.
what can i even say about her that i havent already. that other people havent already. shes everything. probably one of th best written characters ican think of in my recent memory. where do you even start. shes a character that showed up and irrevocably altered my entire programming.
shes just a little thang. she could kill with a snap of her fingers. she cares so much that its a core part of her character. shes so jaded that she tries to convince herself she doesnt. shes terrified of being alone. she severs the tie between her and the people she loves with her own hand. she wants to live. she doesnt care what happens to her. she yearns for autonomy and freedom. she wanders in circles because its what shes always had to do, and is convinced thats what there always was and always will be. she doesnt trust anyone. she hired someone who broke into her house on the spot. she designed herself and her [Status Redacted]s cute color coded outfits. shes a horrible liar. she built herself from the ground up. shes bird. shes gender. shes even asexual. imagine.
i cant fucking show her to anybody because every time i try to introduce her it just turns into showing shitty pngs of her and tearfully and incomprehensibly saying "ilove her so much" over and over again.
shes fucking impossible. i would kill for her without hesitation.
amngela.
#trying tearfully to try and explain the significance of her self-imposed distance clashing with her returning to--#--the one person who ever respected her; who she trusted deeply; referring to him by the name of someone who died long ago--#--guarding herself with a feigned disdain yet still migrating back over and over as if she hopes This Time will be different--#--like some sort of stray cat hissing at your hand yet wailing mournfully when you arent out to greet her at 5pm SHARP.#thinks about 'You're not the Benjamin I used to know.' and begins clawing at the fucking WALLS.#as if that was supposed to be a dig at Him and not the saddest and most telling fucking thing she could have possibly said#piktalk#projmoon

no because you see actually the fact that zelos hates kratos' guts is by far my favorite aspect of zelos. like like the whole betrayal thing and whatnot, honestly, can't relate man, sorry about what happened to you i guess buddy but personally i dont care i just dont
but then back when i found out through finally playing his route + watching tof2 tls that the guy will diss kratos at any given occasion i was taken with renewed appreciation for him. its just too good. (and actually, there are signs of it even before that. like when you run into kratos in sybak and supposedly zelos doesnt know him at all but he still takes a moment to loudly go "omg fuck this guyyyyy" once kratos has left the scene and it's just ertghrteguhireg. zelos actually makes a couple more efforts to have lloyd trust kratos as little as possible. meanwhile theres that character skit in the flanoir area where kratos warns lloyd that there may be "someone in his group with ill intentions be careful no i won't elaborate bye" or whatever. all while k and z are presumably routinely in voice chat arguing over kratos' ridiculous grocery list. what a mess. both of them.) i unironically love it fr. i think it both makes perfect sense from a character perspective, and is hilarious. also it's nice to have one dude be openly hostile towards kratos. what can i say, i live for drama.
so anyway im glad we can all agree that the iselia ranch is a missed opportunity for an absolute train wreck of a skit that should have have happened but didnt.
#it's the one time they can be together come onnnn. where is my one-sided magical swordsman cat fight :(((#tales of symphonia spoilers#kratos is my fave and i love it when he gets dunked on hes a stupid hoe and i thank zelos for his efforts in reminding everyone of that fac#also i cannot for the life of me forget how#colette's flanoir scene is her telling lloyd how amazing kratos is#zelos' heimdall scene is him telling lloyd how much of a fuck up kratos is#and in both instances lloyd seems to have a more positive opinion of kratos afterwards#zelos i dont think you're very good at this#(SAME SHIT HAPPENS IN TOF2 IIRC. zelos starts digging up dirt on kratos. lloyd pries answers out of kratos. kratos explains.#“wow kratos thank you so much for everything you've done for us”#drghdsgtfudsg if i were zelos i'd be fuming. i'd betray the group again over this#(to be fair i think they (colette especially?) do thank zelos for all his behind-the-scenes work as well. but still))#(kon it's been three days why are you still thinking about this)#kratos is where dismissive/manipulative parental figure and betrayal-generated guilt collide#for zelos#for the sake of his own sanity he cannot see kratos get away with (or worse; obtain forgiveness for) any of this shit IT CANT HAPPEN

Yes I do think there is something in the idea of former boy band star!bakugo and reuniting with his old band --
#bakugo#idk why you're there but you are#and it's old image of him as a bad boy vs new .... image of him (which is either that he's retired and sick of that whole thing...#or that he's still kinda bad tempered but wants to move away from the immaturity)#maybe you're his new song writer or something???#OR he's finally ready to reemerge and they don't trust him to write alone and they dont trust you to get popular on your own#he def writes his own songs but the label wants something new from him and forced you on him#anyway there's a reunion tour in talks and he's like. i cant do it. i cant. bc he was the fave ofc#but you slowly immerse yourselves together and yes there is a sappy song scene where he has to sing his old love ballad#(also a scene of him like in trolls 2 being forced to dance with deku and sho)#qwrjfksdfjkas#i should dig up my manager bakugo too bc i liked that reader#anyway#imma ponder this#shii posts#gen

there will always b ppl who only follow me for dark hoping to get wooed that's just the nature of having a legendary middleschool sexyman for a muse but amongst my personal fav dynamics for him is a muse that is in fact way older maturity-wise forced to deal with his teenaged audacity
#*・゚⊰ 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒. ⊱ ✦ › OUT.#how do i put this. hes canonically perpetually 16/17 he deserves to act like it#and people who can recognize it rather than treating him fully outright 'as an adult'#yeag#i say this doubly because so much of him really is just like.... troubled punk???#and any muse who actually digs and manages to get to know him a little#can have the sort of pity you're supposed to have for him as a chara#he might be a misshapen youth(tm) but he's not irredeemable he's just awkward and unfamiliar and thereby uncomfortable#with literally any sort of genuine intimacy or connection#outside of his immediate control. outside of the theatrics(tm)#he hides everything about himself most of the time he removes himself from happy pictures. he is a loud arrogant monster he is just a Boy#dark in particular is always at that awkward point of feeling like he's something stunted like he's too far gone#he's the one who feels like he's lost all his chances that other people deserve happiness but maybe not him#even if he still can't help but want it#but anyways this isn't just about him since i do think the kind of sigh-inducing behavior he gives to other muses#can be endearing in its own way. smth smth teenagers(tm)#older muses who can kind of recognize his behavior as something a little pitiful#as a defense mechanism that developed out of him just being so utterly alone and forced to be independent for his entire life#that's good........

I feel like there is a definite uptick in wanting to see Hornblower suffer for people who've read past Beat To Quarters/The Happy Return. Like I think you can't get past the original trilogy without thinking that he should squirm a little bit for his crimes
#i feel like the first five books you're like he sucks sometimes but he's really just a wet kitten you want to bring in from the rain#and then you get to book six and it's like he's your adult grown cat who goes out in the rain and comes back sopping wet#and then starts complaining despite the fact that they knew full well what they were doing#<- this may not be a universally understood experience for people whose cats don't like going out for a little shower#and then strongly dislike getting toweled off when they come back in#but you understand what i'm going for here. no matter even if you still like him as a character he's digging himself that hole#and sometimes he damn well deserves it. and sometimes getting him out is more trying than if he was a wild raccoon#your mileage may vary with this; some people see through him sooner and some people don't really want to psychologically torture him#even after all his shenanigans in the later books. but it's just something that i've noticed#perce rambles#hornblower#with my apologies to the people in the tag#also this is not to put people off the later books him being the worst is really really fun and he and bush are even more insane#also nb: i do really really love hornblower as a character and i do want him to be happy sometimes dw :')

Okay this is the *actual* last comment, for real, but I just found out Spider is now smearing me as a convert and accusing me of being involved with drama I was not involved with because he mistakenly attributed my apologies for his public temper tantrum as being about something unrelated.
THIS IS A FALSE ACCUSATION and I do not appreciate having yet another bit of fake malicious intent falsely ascribed to my actions and* attributing a completely unrelated attack to me.
Also, it's very sad and disappointing whenever a Jew gets mad at a convert because something else is going on in the Jew's life and the convert happens to be in the splash zone and the Jew falls over backwards to smear the convert and invalidate her faith.
Just....the childish aggression is making me so, so sad and disappointed, from someone I used to think very highly of, who is now lying about me and publicly smearing me with false accusations based on a conflict he started because he misinterpreted something I said and I went out of my way to give him the benefit of the doubt when trying to clear up the mistake HE MADE that led him to decide bullying and attacking me for three fucking days was appropriate and okay and that I'm the bad guy for saying it's wildly unprofessional to behave like this in public to a former customer face.
Sorry, but facts, reality, linear time and the truth of what I actually said and did are on my side here, and I will not stand for being smeared and attacked and shat all over because I had the gall to try to kindly resolve his uncalled for, unjustified temper tantrum.
I am also not sorry that I left a side note in the tags that it was also unacceptable for HIM to drag his daughter into a stupid internet slapfight based on his own reading comprehension failure. Because it was and is unacceptable, and she needs to hear that message from someone.
End of story. Keep digging that hole as long as you like, Spider. It's not helping your case and is continuing to make you look progressively worse and more unreasonable, and the only person you have to blame is yourself.
youtube
*revised for clarity
#don't buy from nerdykeppie#all receipts are under this tag#if you're so offended because my reporting on the things you say and do makes you look bad maybe the problem is you#this whole thing was completely needless#and yet he is continuing to DARVO me because he's pissed that his usual method of smugly lashing out at people over their poor reading#comprehension doesn't work when it's him who failed to comprehend what I wrote in the first place#also REAL FUCKING INCHRESTING that he's lying about me being involved in the jewvestigation of him so he responds by......jewvestigating me#lol#lashon hara. maybe he should study it sometime.#and maybe he'll learn warning others about poor behavior from a business so they don't waste their money there is not lashon hara#but honestly I doubt it because he's never going to let go of his desperate complex about always being the smartest raddest dude in the roo#it looks pathetic and I think he realizes that or he wouldn't have had such a dramatic extended meltdown over the things *he* said to *me*#I also still find it funny that he has conveniently forgotten to address the whole “hey bud your timeline doesn't add up” part#and I think that's because he knows if he were to address the proof that he didn't remember it correctly he would be forced to admit that h#threw a massive shitfit at someone for no reason because his memory got mixed up#so so funny that he can't come up with an answer for that#almost like! he knows he fucked up bigtime and is scrambling to make himself the victim!#also funny that “worrying about someone who was dragged into a fight by a bully” got twisted into sneakily scheming to turn her against him#I'm not a scheming plotter I'm worried because the behavior you showed your child in public was wildly inappropriate TO HER.#it's sad! It's fucking sad and embarrassing and hypocritical and immature and SAD!#but the pretend me other people are attacking because they made shit up is none of my business#if he wants to keep writing fanfic about me he can go right ahead#because again#the more he talks the worse he looks#the more he digs this hole the deeper he gets mired in his own muck#and it's not my job to bend over backwards to keep him from experiencing the natural consequences of his actions.#I really should learn the lesson that people who are snide assholes in one situation are usually snide assholes across the board#really the worst part is knowing I defended him when he threw tantrums like this before#that's what I regret and feel guilty about: that I backed up his shitty behavior and gave it legitimacuy#that was wrong of me and I'm sorry for every time I jumped in as one of his flying monkeys

always found this little parallel between how scott speaks about buddy cole vs danny husk fascinating:
(top quote is from this 2017 vulture interview, bottom quote is from paul myers' 2018 book "one dumb guy")
'he's smarter than me. braver than me. he's better than me'' vs ''danny may not be the smartest or the bravest but he's a very decent man''
#on its own this is a cool (probably unintentional) echo of how scott talks about two of his biggest characters#but of course being the buddy-cole-documentary person and the only person who's mentioned scott's ptsdiva podcast to him upon first meeting#(true fact he hadn't heard anyone mention that podcast since it finished releasing and that was a big part of my first impression)#i'm so excited to hopefully dig into the deeper implications of this#bc throughout scott's career he's used buddy as a way to process his thoughts on a variety of topics and to speak his mind#BUT. after he recovered from his cancer. he didn't immediately launch another buddy cole side project like he did so many times#(and i mean MANY times that's why i have a whole goddamn timeline for buddy cole side projects)#no. after he recovered from cancer he wrote the *danny husk* graphic novel#and there's also an interview from around that time (i can't find it rn but i know i have it bookmarked) where he low key blames buddy cole#for how he's always been typecast as the gay-best-friend. which while buddy cole is proudly a stereotype#he's still the exact opposite of that trope bc he has agency. and that's why scott made so many buddy cole side projects#while he was paying the bills with gay-best-friend roles in the late 90s#so what was it in this case that made him go ''actually i don't want to write from the perspective of someone who's better than me''#and embrace a bit of danny husk energy?#i haven't read his danny husk graphic novel yet but i do have some theories#but idk actively theorizing on here (especially as someone who is friends with scott) feels a bit too far so i'm gonna leave it at this#a cool parallel. an interesting timeline pattern. an indication of one of the questions from my next interview#i would say ''i wonder if anyone else has noticed this'' but come on jess you're the only one who would have seen both these things

One of my favorite hobbies to engage in is ignoring the canon course of video game romances
#yes my warden in an open relationship will have a foursome at the pearl#and yes I will continue to have Morrigan sleep with Orest after the “I love you and I hate it” conversation#I am digging into her brain so deep rn#morri seeing sex as the main manipulation tool she has and being so scared to have orest be just In Love With Her#she says no to his invitation of sex once and he just goes oh okay I'm sorry#I still love you that's okay#and it scares the bejesus out of her#time to keep fucking him so I can pretend that he just wants me for my body#time to let him fuck other people so it'll be easier for him to leave me in the end#I can't have him so dependent on me for his happiness or else it will destroy him (the man I love) in the end#I have to let him leave my side slowly or else he'll die if I separate myself from him I saw what happened with his ex-lover (tamlen)#let him be happy with zevran or leliana or anyone#fool woman he will never let you leave and never stop loving you#I love morrigan and her fucked up relationship with intimacy so much#orest is also especially easy to think you're manipulating because he acts so stupid (and it's only partially an act)#he loves so openly and so intensely and yet he's also clearly very easily drawn in with the appeal of a Nice Ass#I could talk about them forever#I'm editing an old fic to better fit with their dynamic and the canon of the romance#and the orest x morri content I've written since I first wrote this fic#and this doesn't just apply to orest and morrigan#I ignore that tamlen and gorim are female warden LIs only#I ignore that Blackwall is “straight” (blackwall may be but thom isn't that's for sure)#I do whatever the fuck I want with da2#anyway time to stop rambling in the tags and actually get back to writing#dragon age#dragon age origins#dragon age ii#dragon age inquisition#original content#and mainly

quietly fist pumping the air as I'm finally listening to a form of media where a character has information the other characters want, and is not cowed at all by the threat of death or injury or even the destruction of years of their work.
"If you kill me, you lose your only chance to have your questions answered. I'm only alive because of it. Therefore, I cannot tell you."
#so so so many times a character in that situation will panickedly give everything away to save their skin#only to be predictably executed immediately after#it's a logical fallacy that has always annoyed me#another is when like. The lives of people they care about is threatened and they give everything up#but depending on the information I can give that a pass#the loved ones are almost certainly going to die either way#if you know your opponent can still be beaten knowing that information why not try to save them#Other times it's like. It really ducking sucks but#either way they're likely going to die and so much worse will happen if you're opponent gets what they want from you#Dig your heels in and use it as more resolve for why your lips are sealed#wolf 359#wolf 359 spoilers#?#In case anyone else stumbling on this is late to the party#been hearing this podcast's name for years but only just started listening
