Day #78: Movie-goers

When you absolutely despise something a lot of people like, and no matter what way you look at it you cannot see the appeal, but you know you can’t talk about it in public or else you’ll get dogpiled to hell and back, so you just kinda sit there frothing at the mouth like this

I keep seeing all this stuff in Metroid fandom (and arguably from the creative team themselves) about Samus having a motherly bond with (voice) The Baby but, like, she handed that thing over to be dissected by military scientists SO fast. I could see her being surprised that it had formed such an attachment with her by the end of Super Metroid cuz yeah that was unexpected and weird. But chances are high she saved that last bby metroid with the intent of it being used for study and destroyed in the process.

It is funny imagining her going on parent/child bonding trips with the galaxy's second most dangerous life form though.

Can't believe fgo gave Limbo machine-destroying shikigami bugs, but didn't have him so much as threaten to use them on the mechanical doll girl he's weirdly fixated on, it's a shame...

To be very honest, the only thing I find genuinely interesting about jujutsu kaisen besides the art is the storyline at the beginning of Season 2.

I couldn't care less about what sukuna and kenjaku were up to. Literally the relationship and drama around gojo and geto is what kept me on the edge of my seat. Otherwise the manga for me feels pretty basic ? Itadori is supposed to be the main character but he's so sidelined in his own story ? Everybody else keeps dying too fast for me to care about it ?

Like I wish the manga was actually about early gojo, geto, nanami and co. I wish instead of a 2 episode flashback we had the entire manga dedicated to geto slow descent to madness and events that unfold. Can you imagine jujutsu kaisen as a psychological horror anime ? Waaahhh

And obviously this is just my personal opinion don't crucify me I'm not saying the manga is bad just ....

i get why people would opt to say walter was a terrible person since the beginning, but i think that's like, the most boring takeaway you can get about his character. he was already insecure and prideful from the start, and it's what would hurt him and keep hurting him. but like, being insecure and prideful are regular traits any regular person can have. the actions that he makes because of these traits, which in turn keep fueling his ego more and more, are what makes him an interesting character. and he was already pretty capable of hurting other people, but he wasn't doing it out of malice, but more because of careless selfishness at first. what makes walter terrifying is that the more he does it, the more he becomes aware of what he's doing, and the more he keeps going and keeps being more and more meticulous and deliberate about what he does that hurts people and even to the point when it was specifically to hurt people.

i think the traits were there in walter from the beginning—the pilot did a pretty good job of establishing how powerless he's felt all his life and just how susceptible he is to letting this newfound perceived power get to his head so easily. he even says this explicitly in 5x06 "Buyout" when he tells jesse "i'm not in the money business, i'm in the empire business". but saying he was this monster from the start kind of implies he didn't undergo through a character arc throughout the show when it's quite literally what he did. he got worse. so much worse. through mostly the fault of his own fragility.

Hesitate to say I’ve finished a project as I still have a braid and a half to go. But! I do have some yarn and I might even have plans for the yarn.

coming back to say hotd s2 was so awfully boring and badly executed

I think what makes me the angriest about DR3 is how they brushed over the Twilight Syndrome Murder case like it was nothing.

Fuyuhiko learned his younger sister got murdered and in return killed Sato, yet what made him go into despair was because of brainwashing and watching their class representative die? Not his own sister fucking being murdered??

Mahiru also lost a close friend of hers, but for some reason she can't seem to put two and two together that, hey, she's classmates with the brother of her bully in middle school? The next heir of the largest yakuza syndicate? There was already some tension when Mahiru was calling out his attitude in chapter 1 of SDR2 - why not show it again when they were at Hope's Peak??

Two people were murdered and associated with two students of class 77. Do their classmates not give a shit besides Peko? Hell, it was implied that Hiyoko, Ibuki, and Mikan knew of Sato’s existence, but they didn’t even talk about her or had scenes with her. It would’ve been interesting to see Fuyuhiko and Mahiru starting to be wary of each other, with Mahiru saying something insensitive about Natsumi and Fuyuhiko threatening her in front of the class.

This case could easily be one of the pivots of why Fuyuhiko and Mahiru became Ultimate Despair. Imagine losing someone close to you, but the prestigious school that's supposed to guarantee you success in life swept it under the rug to save their image. Plus it shows they really don't give a shit about the Reserve Course Department - only the money they bring.

There's just so many things about DR3 that are inconsistent and overall disappointing. I know it's all marketing and doing it for the fans, but if the anime adaptation is going to just going to retcon and make the plot over one fucking character then it's just shit and laziness.

I genuinely can’t fathom how people who have never had a problem with food (restricting AND overeating because both are serious issues) view it. Like tf do you mean you get hungry after two hours? One of my siblings is onto me because I went like 6 hours without eating but like…that was because I wasn’t hungry???? On the flip side, I’ve noticed that I just keep fucking eating when everyone else has stopped. Free breadsticks at Olive Garden? I’ll eat them until they’re gone. Need something to do at a party? I’ll get seconds even though I’m not really hungry. I was never really an emotional eater aside from a few hatred-induced binges last semester at college, but I’m definitely a bored eater. Combine that with the fact that my parents don’t cook, so the occasional meals I had with my family all together were fast food/restaurant food, AND that all other nights, I was left to rummage with no supervision through the pantry to eat processed food in front of the TV/my phone for dinner, it’s a miracle I didn’t get fatter sooner.

I am going to fight the person who decided that the "grumpy adult who reluctantly takes in a child" trope had to be between a grumpy man and a child. Where are my grumpy women :/

theory that dustfinger spent half of the book unconscious not because of whatever the hell orpheus did but because he concussed himself

[bluarlequinno]

The fnaf movie feels like reading a very heavily book trilogy and game inspired Fazbear Frights that doesn't exactly know what correlation with the Aftons they wanna have.
