Life has been insane lately, but recently it has taken a much more Disney channel original movie turn. Allow me to explain. Many years ago (middle school) I was friends with this girl and we were very close, she had an older sibling with cool green hair and tattoos, genuinely didn’t even know I was bi but I had a huuuuuge crush on them. Fast forward to present day, through a series of what I consider some of my best choices I now have a date with the older sibling this week and like. Who gets to do that!! Who gets a chance with their childhood crush!! How am I gonna take this man on a date I’m so nervous!!!!!!!!!

poyt 5 is such a fucking rollercoaster, y’all! like i feel like people may not like it bc it’s so all over the place and it reads more like a book than a chapter 😭😭 in the sense that there isn’t just a beginning - middle - climax - end. It’s more like, a bazillion ups and downs, about three climaxes, three very emotional and poignant scenes (although I guess the main heart-wrenching scene is the big one in the middle, and then there’s a lot of mini heart-wrenches) and then there’s also a bit of comedic stuff which we haven’t seen in the other poyt parts, and some heavy romance stuff and revelation stuff, of course the main biggest climax, and then the ending and then the epilogue…

I guess I’m saying all this bc I feel like people will get bored halfway through bc it’s so super long 😭😭😭😭 I’m so so so anxious about people losing interest bc poyt 5 is very different structure wise 😭😭 I just threw EVERYTHING in without caution and now I’m editing and it’s like… some scenes are way too long but then I don’t want to cut anything, I feel like everything is so important to the story!!! And I keep thinking back to poyt 4 to reassure myself, bc it was 22k words long but I remember some of you saying that it didn’t FEEL like 22k words bc it went by quickly! I JUST HOPE y’all feel the same way about poyt 5😭

only bad thing abt my job other than it being a server job is that i have a new white boy crush and he’s not even that hot :(((( one of the bartenders is like the main person that checks in w me to make sure i’m doing ok and not getting my ass kicked completely + talks to me abt music all the time + i’ve never seen him w his hair down but it’s long enough that he has to put it up for work + dude’s played guitar for like 19yrs. he has a girlfriend tho + i would rather not fuck around w a coworker so i can be normal around him until i get trained on bar

Everyone talks about how amazing the princess bride is (rightfully so) but people don’t talk enough about the soundtrack. The motifs the themes the impeccable vibes. Have you sat down and listened to “guide my sword”? Have you heard “the friends’ song” and heard the guitar and horn in conversation with each other in a light and playful dance, much like Inigo and Fezziks’ friendship? Mark Knopfler is a legend. A legend I say!!!!

Now before I go on a whole rant disclaimer that I could have this completely backwards. But. It bothers me when people say that Kaiji is greedy because if anything I feel like he’s more of a victim? And I’m not trying to paint the whole story in a black and white picture of “Kaiji good Teiai bad” here (even though Teiai is indisputably bad,) Kaiji isn’t perfect, it’s just like, I’ve always seen him as more of an actual addict than someone whose being actively greedy. There’s a difference between an addict and someone who is just being selfish. And I feel like FKMT actually portrays the characters who ARE very greedy in his story pretty well, and in a way that’s very different from Kaiji. Idk I had a whole rant about this in my head that’s hard to translate into a post but Kaiji is shown to be pretty selfless, and only cares about the money he actually NEEDS right up until he’s actually gambling, where he tends to lose control of himself. You never really see him fantasize about things like hoarding money so he can live in luxury in case of a crisis, having a mansion, and being able to step over everyone who doubted him or anything like that. In fact, I’m pretty sure Kaiji is nenver shown having any fantasies at all relating to money- it becomes clear pretty early on he’s more attracted to risk/thrill of gambling than he is the actual cash itself. You DO see those types of money fantasies from characters like Ichijou and Hyodo- and the story once refers to Hyodo as “the living personification of greed” or something along those lines. Kaiji is a story about human greed yes, but I feel like the people Kaiji goes up against are most supposed to represent greed than Kaiji himself. Kaiji shows how the greed of people in power can harm the average citizen (since encouraging addicts will just give people in power more money.) If any of that makes sense. Idk I just don’t like the idea some people have that Kaiji is “the real villain” of the story. Because he’s only really been shown either extending a hand to others whenever he had the possibility (without risking his own health, which I feel is very reasonable,) or being a victim- as in getting himself really hurt after agreeing to a gamble where one of the villains have most of the power. Kaiji has to struggle to control his addiction you know??? Otherwise he wouldn’t really be an addict. And I know the people saying this absolutely do NOT have bad intentions and I’m not trying to insult other people to get my point across. But. Claiming that the character who’s obviously stated to have an issue with an addiction is actually just being “selfish” and nothing else seems kind of ignorant both in general and to the stories actual themes. Kaiji’s antagonists purposely feed into the addictions of their victims for personal profit and I think that’s more of commentary on greed than Kaiji himself ever will be

Spoilers for Alan Wake/Control games and DLCs: one of the things I really like in Alan Wake 2 is the confirmation that, no, Alan can’t create something out of nothing. There were implications in-story that supported that, but it was good to have that be a big part in the sequel. The AWE control dlc easily made it seem like Alan himself had a role in the events of the game and the formation of the FBC, and, personally, seeing it through that lens cheapened a lot of the game and Jesse’s story. Instead, having his writing influence the Hiss and try to manipulate (even out of desperation) Jesse/the FBC to end Hartman and get help, fit right into plot and conflicts of Alan Wake 2, with Alan being sympathetic, but also an asshole for trying to change and control people’s lives in his writing.

It’s wild to me that some of you have entire discourse accounts dedicated to shipping hate & over analyzing shipping between the anime, manga, & light novels to the point of making harassment campaigns against the authors/writers of the side stories. Yet y’all don’t send the same hate towards Ikemoto & his highly suspect ass art style with the way he draws some of these kids.

Actual live footage of my tumblr ecosystem syncing up like a knock-off Bluetooth device whenever a new piece of media comes out (if you weren’t already aware of that media, you are now in that fandom by reason of systemic association):

I like to imagine it as seeing your friend of 10 years in the same dark movie theatre as you— clutching their popcorn— and sat alone. Move over, darling, we’re making a day out of this.

On tumblr when you post you’re just playing Russian roulette with your post getting attention, but it’ll probably get ignored.

On Reddit any comment you make outside of some very niche community will immediately have someone downvoting you and calling you like, three different insults. Then they will wonder why you only log in every couple months. Like, it’s a very helpful website when you have a question for another community you’re in, but you’ll also get someone being immediately hostile when you make an innocuous post on a garden subreddit 😑

At least on tumblr people have to actually seek out your random ass text posts and go out of their way to start shit, and you don’t have the up and down vote system that feels like playing with my self confidence and worth issues.

Both websites are toxic part of the time (what social media isn’t?) and both are actually more useful for weird people, but holy shit does Reddit feel more aggressive about shit. Maybe it’s just the devil you know, but at least on this mess of a website half your hate will be for the most random shit and misunderstandings that people have to seek out finding if your blog is a normal size. Reddit is either posting on a dead sub or getting immediately thrown to the, well, sharks and wolves aren’t actually super aggressive towards humans under normal circumstances, so something else that could tear you apart instantly for just existing in the same space as them.
