#i felt like people were going to bash me lmao

[cute-little-fly]

As someone that is fan of both shows, and that even with its limitations still liked Arcane Season 2, Arcane is a show that has a complete different set of public, scope and issues than Helluva Boss. Sorry if I am invading your post, i will erase if it bothers you, but this made me want to put another perspective to the precise issue you are pointing out:

I don’t think Arcane is a bad show, (in case someone here would like to watch, hear me out lmao); the issue was that it betrayed fans’s expectations, and a lot of things that you felt were focused or were going to pay off on Season 2 were either sidelined or ignored. Besides, one (and slightly other) plots of Season two felt very detached from the original premise. It had other small issues, but the main ones are those.

And you know, I don’t know how controversial this is but… For me, it was pretty cool and fun to watch, I actually liked being surprised with something different out of the blue… But I understand why from a storytelling point of view it wasn’t pull off fine, and how for a show of that scope that didn’t look well…

So, I understand the criticism of Arcane perfectly and the critical community us very varied. You have the critic that bash Arcane because it has a queer couple, and a lot of very centered and well known critics. You see both good stuff and bad stuff mixed, and a lot of the times it’s just a sincere opinion of people that felt disappointed and that valid too…

However, with Helluva Boss the critical community is completely different. The nature of Helluva Boss as an indie web series makes the criticism not being really serious either and we have a lot of content farming here. Arcane as a more visible show, is criticized by better writers that at least are fair and respectful to the creators and try to be objective, or they just have a good damn point. This is why even if I like Arcane, I don’t mind to see criticism videos once in a while.

Helluva Boss criticism on YouTube is made (mostly) by people that don’t actually have very good points, are not actually critics or any kind, and are just randos of YouTube that cringe about it. They are resentful people that evaluate Helluva Boss as if HB pretended to be the pinnacle of art or a show intended for something big.

HB is basically just a bunch of silly weird people wanting to do a show for themselves and sharing it with other people. That’s it. That’s Helluva Boss… and you know what, I think Helluva is actually good for its intended audience and scope, and considering its origins is good. I am sorry but even if they had mistakes as writers I think it’s good and worth to watch just by the characters, songs and animation.

I can value more the stuff on HB because I know that I am seeing what the creators WANT to do.

In Arcane I know there was a lot of Riot and corporate influence in plot points. So yeah… it’s kinda different.

why are my youtube recommendations all anti hb videos

Hello!!! Could you do another cuddling one shot with Lancelot in his fox form and a fem reader

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐱’𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭

Sypnosis [As written in the request]

Character [Lancelot]

Note || this was nice… thank you for this one lovely!! And an honored mention of @svpremedeity since I saw they want to mention when I write smth for Lancelot—I think. I hope that’s okay lmao.

It was an unusually calm evening at the camp, the sky above painted in hues of purple and gold as the sun slowly dipped below the horizon. You were nestled under a warm blanket, the soft crackling of a nearby fire filling the air with a cozy ambiance. After a long day of traveling and adventuring, all you wanted was to relax, perhaps catch up on some rest, and enjoy the quiet. But the world, as always, had other plans.

Lancelot—well, Sin as he preferred to be called in his fox form—had been unusually attached to you that evening, constantly at your side as though he couldn’t get enough of your company. It wasn’t uncommon for him to seek comfort in your presence, but tonight, there was something different in the air. His strawberry-red fur looked even more striking under the golden light of the fire, and his playful eyes never strayed too far from you.

"Hey, Sin. What’s going on with you today?" You chuckled, reaching out to gently scratch behind his ears, a gesture you knew he enjoyed. His eyes fluttered closed, and he let out a soft, almost contented sigh, his body growing slack in your arms.

"Nothing," he muttered, his voice more hoarse than usual. "Just... tired, I guess."

You raised an eyebrow, half-amused, half-concerned. "Tired? You? The ever-energetic fox prince of Benwick?"

Sin’s magenta-red eyes opened, and he gave you a sly grin. "I’m not always energetic," he said with a dramatic flair. "Sometimes, even a powerful knight like me needs rest."

You laughed, the sound light and soothing, as you gently scooped him up into your lap. It wasn’t the first time you’d shared a quiet moment like this, though you were starting to notice that these moments were becoming more frequent. You supposed it was only natural—after everything that had happened between you two, after the battles fought and the trust built—it made sense that he’d want to stay close. But tonight felt different. There was something more tender about the way he curled up against you, the way his fox form seemed to lean into your touch as though the weight of the world was momentarily lifted.

"Come on, I know you're not really tired," you teased, running your fingers through his soft fur. "You just don’t want to admit that you enjoy cuddling with me."

Sin’s ears twitched, and for a moment, you swore you saw his cheeks turn a little pink under the crimson fur. "I-I do not!" (and for nearly the first time) he stammered, though his voice was more flustered than he would have liked to admit.

You smirked, brushing a lock of hair from your face. "It’s okay," you said softly, "I enjoy it too. It’s nice to have someone around, especially after everything we’ve been through."

There was a brief silence between you, the weight of your words lingering in the air. Sin’s tail flicked lazily as he snuggled closer into your chest, his small, fluffy body growing heavier in your lap. You could feel the steady rhythm of his breathing, and for the first time in a long while, it struck you just how much you meant to each other. He might be a prince, a knight, and a force to be reckoned with, but in this moment, he was just a young man seeking warmth and comfort.

His voice broke the silence, low and almost bashful. "You’re not like the others."

You blinked, not quite sure what he meant. "What do you mean?"

He let out a sigh, his tail curling into a tighter ball. "Most people are scared of me, or they’re intimidated. But not you. You’re... different."

You smiled gently, brushing a strand of hair from his face. "Well, I’m not scared of you, Lancelot," you said, using his true name as if to reassure him. "You’re a bit of a troublemaker, but you’re also someone I can trust. Besides, who could be afraid of a cute fox like you?"

His eyes widened slightly, and then he huffed, his tail twitching in a playful manner. "I’m not cute," he protested, though the corners of his lips betrayed him, curling into an almost imperceptible smile.

"Sure you’re not," you said, teasing him with a soft laugh. You could feel his little fox form growing more relaxed in your lap, his breath even and slow.

"You know," you continued, running your fingers through his fur again, "you really are something special. I never expected the prince of Benwick to be so..." You paused, trying to find the right word. "So... endearing."

Sin’s eyes glinted with a mischievous shine, and he shifted slightly, his tiny paws resting against your chest. "Well, you do have good taste," he said, though there was no hiding the hint of pride in his voice. "It’s not easy being so... charming."

You raised an eyebrow and looked down at him with mock incredulity. "Charming? Are we still talking about the same fox here?"

"Hey!" he squeaked, swatting lightly at your hand with one of his tiny paws. "You’d be surprised at how charming I can be when I’m not too busy saving your life."

You laughed, the sound ringing out through the quiet night. "Alright, alright, you win. You’re charming."

His fluffy tail swayed back and forth in contentment as he settled even deeper into your lap. "That’s more like it."

The two of you fell into a comfortable silence again, the fire flickering nearby. It was moments like this, where everything felt still and perfect, that you cherished the most. There were no battles to fight, no enemies to face—just you and Lancelot, in this strange yet comforting little bubble of peace.

But it wasn’t long before his voice broke the silence once more, this time quieter, almost thoughtful. "I’m glad I met you," he murmured, his words soft but sincere.

Your heart skipped a beat. You didn’t say anything right away, unsure of how to respond. You had never been one to expect such tender words from him, let alone from a prince who had spent so much time hiding behind his fox form. But the sincerity in his tone was undeniable.

"I’m glad too," you whispered back, your fingers gently stroking his fur. "You’re one of the most important people in my life, Lancelot."

There was no need for any more words after that. The fire crackled, the night stretched on, and the two of you sat there, quietly together, as the world continued to turn.

And for once, there was no rush to go anywhere, no hurry to be anything other than what you were: two souls who had found comfort and warmth in each other’s presence.

Sin, the playful fox prince, had become something much more in your eyes. And maybe, just maybe, that was exactly what both of you needed.

Ivypool's Heart: Finished

Just completed reading the new super edition! I'm pleasantly surprised by this one. Overall, this was a very good book, MUCH better than the past 3 which were some of the most boring and unnecessary entries to the entire franchise.

If you were on the fence about this one, I'd recommend it. Just take this warning; it does the Warrior Cats thing where it harps pretty strong on parenthood and nuclear families being a borderline essential part of life, including a ton of bashing on how uniquely horrible this makes the Sisters.

If you can get past that, it's a pretty solid story about grief that makes some really fun additions to the WC lore, including the wildcats, StormClan, and a broad expansion to the afterlife system.

Meandering thoughts below the cut;

One of IPH's biggest flaws is pacing, but it's not nearly as bad as the past 3 SEs.

Not to mention, this is a pretty small SE. If you're ever bored, it won't last long.

Before the book introduces the Wildcats, it REALLY meanders. It'll pick up, but you will have to wade through relatively uninteresting scenes of the cats traveling and talking about their feelings unprompted.

A lot of "quicktime events" happen out of nowhere to fill pages with cats running away from random bullshit.

There's a horse carriage, an apple picker, dogs, weasels, foxes, a storm, traffic, humans, boats, sandwhiches. It's endless. My eyes glazed over during most of these scenes.

I know a lot of people were dreading Ivypool being nasty and unreasonable during this book, but honestly? I was hoping for it and didn't really receive it.

I find her most compelling when she's holding a grudge, acting on her anger, and generally working through messy issues. But aside from her just thinking about being annoyed or angry, she's really not snappy at all.

I feel like there could have been a lot more interesting and organic conflict between Icewing, Dovewing, and Ivypool's personalities instead of boring Quicktime Events. In fact, I felt like Icewing and Dovewing were kind of underutilized.

The conversations often feel quite stiff, especially in the first half. Everyone is very understanding of each other, respect boundaries and knows not to push too far, resolve their personal issues very easily, etc. It's kinda... unnatural.

Personally, I found that disappointing because I WANTED to see the cats actually process their grief over the course of the book. Watch them act out, maybe get in an fight or two and resolve it for the sake of the mission, have them come to a greater understanding of each other, etc.

Because Icewing and Dovewing are both so motherly and gentle and we're in Ivypool's POV, we don't really get to see them process their grief because of that.

They're not TOTALLY neglected though! I just... wanted more from this group.

However. I wanted LESS Rootspring.

I understand he's there to process the loss of Bristlefrost with Ivypool but god, every time he was on screen I wanted to push him aside and talk to Icewing lmao.

Stop trying to sell me "cool, mellowed from grief" Rootspring. He's a silly little hyperactive man and you will never be able to convince me otherwise.

As a silly little hyperactive semi-manthing myself, it would have been a lot more cathartic to see a clown like me going through grief. Not to mention just generally make for better chemistry with the group.

Between Ice and Dove who are already quite chill as characters, Whistle could have used someone more goofy to bounce off of.

I REALLY didn't like the whole implication that Rootspring is going to move on from Bristlefrost and "find a mother" for the kittens he wants so badly, though.

Erins PLEASE remember that adoption exists. He does not need a wife to be a dad. I'm beaming myself directly into your brains and telepathy-ing directions to the nearest cat adoption agency

aaaaaand on that note.... yeah. I did not like the way that this book leaned so hard on the whole "nuclear family" dynamic. Ivypool has had like two major interactions with her husband and one JUST happened in this book.

It especially bugged me that they leaned into Ivypool having been a very active mother, when we saw very little of that in the ACTUAL book. It wasn't even mentioned that Fernsong was allegedly the primary parent of the kittens when they were young.

But... I was able to look past it and just accept the book in a vacuum. There's a lot of good here.

Like the wildcats.

While I'm still wary of these being Scottish Wildcats and reserve my misgivings about the misuse of species that are very unlike domestic cats... I LOOOOVEEE the culture they've set up for them

I LOVEE the way that individual spirits reach out to the kits, guiding them through life

I LOVE the connection to StormClan

I LOVE their idea of the elements and general spirituality

And I LOVED the fact that a big part of Ivypool coming to terms with her grief was the expansion of her worldview. The way that she realized the religion she was raised with is quite small, and that there is an immense beauty in coming to understand other cultures, accept their advice, and see the world as they do.

I just wish the book had been able to tie that to a flaw that Ivypool has expressed since her very introduction back in OotS-- that she's smallminded.

It would have been a FANTASTIC way to really tackle and address that flaw, and pay off literal decades of set up. I really wish she had been messier in this book because of that!

But, digressing.

I'm over the moon that the team's actually playing with the series' spirituality! After such a long time of them outright avoiding some of the weirder elements in the series, like Rock and Midnight, it's exciting that they're finding some freedom in making new magic lore for themselves.

Hopefully, in the next few super editions, we'll be able to get some more insight to StormClan and the Wildcats.

The book really hits its stride in the second half because of this, and the ending chapters are actually fantastic. Some of the best stuff that's come out of the series (on purpose) in a loooong time.

I never knew I would be so passionate to say shit about link click ☠️🤣 I mean, it's so angst, life philosophy, metaphor, symbolism shit that I almost forgot to sit and enjoy but NOW when the ' meticulous construction of plot, intertwined parallel narratives and themes and intense philosophical symbolisms' are away, I CAN FINALLY BASH IT BWAHHAAAHAHAHAHA to my heart's content.

so, @whispersoflullaby and I decided to watch THAT godforsaken special episode and we have been inventing creative slurs in our mother tongue since then

Cheng Xiaoshi dives into the body of someone called Sanren laoshi who(via qiao ling) hands them a very...questionable photo.

I SWEAR TO GOD I AM NOT HOMOPHOBIC (maa kaalir dibbi) but that masked person/the very obvious sexual partner of the host is a...MAN?!

they do not seem to be an AFAB person. and also, for some reason that person's voice felt like lu guang's?????????? (I played it repeatedly but that 'look, look, look!' felt very much in lu guang's voice!)

idk is there any sober explanation to this or what the fuck 😭😭😭😭😭

the case is (head to toe) weird. it felt very weird and doesn't feel to have any significant connection to the main story. how is this canon?! I mean whatever special episode...Lan studio produced it, right? it has proper OP and ED... that made it look extra funny 🤣

I didn't question my life choices watching this episode! Not for one sec I felt the urge to cry, stupid things were happening in the most stupid and corny anime way possible. They failed their mission (100% cheng xiaoshi's fault) and the lines are so fucking hilarious

"during summer vacation people either

1. sleep to their heart's content

or

2. focus on their hobbies

or

3. post shoddy videos (a man taking pictures of a girl in blue underwear standing in a pool)

what should I do during summer?"

the host's request was to rectify the fuck up and say

"I really like games more than the sea!"

😭🤣🤣 so stupid everything was. And also the underwear thing...HUGE focus on hosts'....

'flexible' and 'cute'?

and ofc

" look, look, look, look, look! you have been staring at me for a while, what? falling in love?" ☠️ broski...sex is over now fuck off and pls kindly wear your trousers or somebody weird will pounce on you like this.

Cheng Xiaoshi's inner eiden was threatening to dominate when he said "oh? Sanren laoshi is not single then?" the zesty voice 🤣☠️ PLZZZ

☠️ why the episode was so weird, horny and hilarious lmao. don't mind grammer I just can't comprehend what I watched. hianime comment section 😭 some are saying wtf but others going like

"samajh nahi aya par link click hain to pura dekha aur accha laga" ☠️

"not quite sure what I watched but this show is peak and I watched it whole-"

noooo you should join us ☠️, link click has made me cry like a pathetic fox howling and all, now it's a slacking episode, I'm gonna call it names ☠️😭🤣 it feels SOOO good to not to intellectualise link click and cry with every fibre of your being

but a few serious things........

1. they wear those summer clothes...the happy visions/memories shown in 'The Eye' are the same

2. Lu Guang really feels...NON TRAUMATIZED? at least I got this feeling. he is just a chill guy, and extra silly, more expressive (I FELT THAT) can it be that it was...in the og timeline? IT FEELS LIKE ONE

this is the actual 'dumb time traveller photo faggots doing silly things together ' in a real sense (the misconception most of us had before we started watching link click???) it's silly through and through trust me

before watching this my brain was so hacked by profound depression (caused by nothing other than link click, surprise!) but I feel 🤣🤣🤣 so good now. had a good night's sleep. I passed out writing the half of the post and now I am writing at 4:30 am ☠️

anyways, I have never seen anyone discussing this episode before so I did it 😭 I am in love with the silly things actually! man I love this head emptu no thot vibe, and those questionable frames ☠️ and that masked man! hsjsjkkakekrisjznfkk why was all of these needed at all! but I loved that 🤣

[fefairys]

YES YOURE RIGHT ABOUT THE REQUIEM THING. ITS BEEN DRIVING ME ABSOLUTELY CRAZY HOW LIKE. INSULTING?? EVERYONE WAS ABOUT IT???

like “oh yeah requiem was super irresponsible with their party” (i was there and it was very professional) “some of the kids even got TATTOOS” (the tattoos were across the street, cost hundreds of dollars, and you had to sign 50 waivers to get it. because it was professional) “and i just don’t feel comfortable SADDLING any poor person with BABYSITTING all you irresponsible kids!” (the requiem party was 18+, incredibly chill, and they checked IDs at the door. because it was professional)

like it’s okay if they didn’t like having control over requiem’s event. it’s okay if they don’t like longer events. it’s even okay if viz handled everything the first time and they don’t know how to do it now!

but the way they just… completely burned the bridges with requiem and called them irresponsible and called US as a FANDOM childish and irresponsible? the way requiem themselves did not even know the hs team had issues with them and has reached out to multiple sources to say, “we don’t know what we did wrong but we’re sorry and we loved having you guys here, you’re welcome anytime” ????

it’s tragic. it’s tragic and also just… unprofessional, to bash the name of a company you collaborated with, when you never even communicated to them you were upset.

like they didn’t HAVE to say all that. they didn’t HAVE to insult everyone involved. they could have been vague and said “oh we wanted to try something new this year!”

sorry for ranting so hard about this, it’s just that whenever i bring this up someone tuts at me acts like i’m overreacting and says “there’s stuff that happened that you don’t know about.” sure maybe i don’t know but… apparently neither does requiem?! sure MAYBE something terrible happened behind the scenes that i missed while i was there. i do like the homestuck team members and i don’t feel like they would do things for no reason, but, surely they know how what they said looks right? how insulting it is to both the cafe and everyone who attended? they didn’t have to handle it like that.

sorry for the monster anon lol it’s just ive felt crazy for so long

lol yeah all of this! i wasn’t at the ticketed parties but i went to the event the first year they did it like ten different days while it was going and it was a blast! every time i went it was mostly adults and a few teens here and there, so idfk where they’re getting the “babysitting” thing from lmao.

they literally have a homestuck club at requiem the staff there loves the homestuck fandom bc we bring them so much business lmfaoooo. like if you didn’t like not having control just say that that’s fine. but it is weird that there’s like. this random distrust of requiem for no reason or some implication that the hs fans were/are a burden to them. a bunch of people who work there, including the owner, are homestuck fans themselves and love having us!

homestuck fandom will just be catching strays forever and it sucks.

anyways requiem is still having an unofficial homestuck party on 4/13 this year and michael guy bowman is gonna perform so who give a shit. i ain’t going to h&b im going to requiem again. peace and love.

Why I'm Voting Inno Mikoto even tho He Definitely Did It

or should I say DID i-*🏏smacked*

TL;DR like many I do not believe a word John says, but I also don't think he has the entire truth. Meanwhile Mikoto's amnesia is near undoubtable. With two unreliable narrators and solid evidence of self-defense, I think we need more before declaring him guilty.

I'm here to be Mikoto's lawyer cuz John ily but you suck at it 😭

Now onto why I'm voting Inno:

Mikoto isn't lying when he says he doesn't remember murdering those people, at least not entirely. The memory is in his subconscious, but he can't even remember the faces of his victims because they were both so out of it.

I believe what we see in MeMe is safe to assume to be his first. The first mannequin smashed onscreen is this one:

That looks like a damn FNAF jumpscare lmao this tells me that his baseball hobby probably saved him from getting jumped at that train station, but it came at a heavy price.

That's where John comes in. To handle the feelings that undoubtedly came with taking a life and having to hide the evidence.

Generally in DID alter's memories fall into one of 3 categories (my observations of myself and other systems):

That event happened. These are all the details. I feel nothing about it.

That event happened and I remember everything I felt like it was seconds ago, but I couldn't tell you specifics

That event happened??

The latter two can safely be assigned to John and Bokukoto. The first one is what we're missing.

I saw someone point out how the train could symbolize that he can never go back (credit urself in the tags if u see this it was a good one) to before he killed.

That brings me to our final scene.

Remember how John split to handle the feelings of that stressor? The feeling of unsafety, pure adrenaline, and righteous anger at the attacker is a horrific thing, but once you experience it you change. In order for an alter to handle the reality of something, it must be accepted somehow. John's way of accepting it is not remembering their faces, only his expressions and actions. That's probably why he's so aggressive; constant fight-or-flight mode.

Mikoto (Bokukoto), like with whatever happened to him in early childhood to cause DID, is unable to accept these realities because doing so would shatter his world (it turns out constant fight-or-flight isn't great for your social life).

So about John's statement that he didn't know any of the victims even though he totally did, at least a little;

John is reading the room and there it is: unsafety, pure adrenaline, and righteous anger at the attacker. That's all he needs to feel to know that it's time to protect Mikoto.

That's not the face and mannerisms of a man who bashes skulls in for kicks. This shit was personal.

I can't tell if it's one or two victims in the second clip here, but I strongly believe they had something to do with his work. His subconscious is really harping on how much his boss got on him and how stressed it made him. Something happened that pushed them over the edge. You don't call your mom after you kill for fun (or maybe you do idk). You call your mom when you know you're fucked.

John initiated the second killing but I don't think he was the only one making a conscious decision. That said, I don't have enough details to condemn Mikoto to another unforgiven verdict.

So, where will we find that info? Well remember RGB Mikoto/Trikoto theory (kudos to whoever coined those)? Well when I broke down the compartmentalization earlier I hinted that there's a strong chance that SOMEONE remembers every detail, but feels nothing and lays dormant.

Good old green Mikoto, the only one we haven't seen speak yet the one who's given us the most detail so far (via MeMe).

Even if not and Bokukoto remembers more than he's letting on/gets in contact with John, the crime itself isn't unforgivable beyond a shadow of a doubt yet even with multiple victims. His reasons are still cloudy.

Also I like him

The Lost

Decided to write another thing. Couldn't focus on homework! Whoops! :P

Big heavy angst and depression warning! Though I rarely do fluff or silly stuff to begin with lmao

This isn't necessarily RGBFVerse? I think this is just a short thing of how I interpret Boyfriend breaking up with Pico. In this case, I guess it would be Bash (my version of BF). I don't really know how Bash would be integrated into all of it anyway and I don't wanna overwhelm people with more BFs, so...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyways, enough rambling!

Read with caution! You have been warned!

I have nothing. I have no one.

No one to love. No one to crave.

I am hungry but nothing satiates so I starve myself.

I am tired but my night terrors do not let me rest.

I am lost and alone, and I find myself in the darkness of my room and in the comfort of my bed, weighed down too heavily by my troubles to rise and face my issues.

I stopped getting calls and texts.

My therapy appointments missed.

Was this what it was like to feel forgotten?

My face feels disgusting, my hair greasy from being unwashed.

I knew I wasn’t doing great. I knew it but I couldn’t move. I could barely breathe with how heavy my chest felt, and though the weighted blanket provided comfort, it wasn’t as crushing as these feelings of failure and could not overpower them.

Should I have given him up? Should I have not tried to fight back at all to begin with?

Who the hell knows.

I need something to cling to. Something to guide me.

I need someone to love and someone to love me back.

Pico was that for me. We shared so much together. Our favorite shows. Our favorite foods. Our songs. We’d make things together. Sappy sweet things that were tooth-rottingly corny. It was embarrassing, but we’d laugh together at how silly and stupid it all is.

Now…

Now it is all gone.

He said he wanted to protect me.

Protect me from what?

I didn’t want to let him go.

So he dropped me instead.

It hurts. It hurts so bad to remember what he said. How he looked. I know he didn't want to do it. I was being stubborn and now I got hurt.

I gripped my pillow, whimpering as I buried my face in it.

Help me. Please. Someone help me.

I could feel my will to persist slipping away from my very soul.

It was hard to breathe as I sobbed, air thick and heavy. I hoped I’d suffocate in it.

…What kind of Boyfriend am I?

[tater-tot-jr]

I’m making this specifically at the request of @anonym-potato

Anyway, HSR 2.5 yapping. (Spoilers, duh.)

So, that was pretty neat. It wasn’t perfect, and had more glaringly obvious flaws than the last few patches, but it was enjoyable all around. I already know there are gonna be people calling this patch trash. It’s not. Don’t listen to them.

To get down to brass tacks, let’s talk about a few things that really stood out to me. The beginning was very very strong. Feixiao mentoring Yanqing was sweet, and it was funny to watch Danny get dragged back to prison for a third time. It was also nice to get some explanation about the situation with Hoolay’s imprisonment and learn just a tad bit more about what Dan Heng went through. Those three definitely had the side story of the patch, but they served their purpose well.

Before we go further I’d like to talk about some of the issues I had. They didn’t ruin my experience, but they were noticeable enough for me to talk about it. That Hoolay fight was super fucking hard, right? My friends (who have much better teams than I do and have actually put money into the game) also agree it was strangely difficult. I felt like he did too much damage to you and didn’t take enough damage, and that made his whole fight really clunky to play. Additionally, the pacing was a little wonky. Some sections felt like they were too early or too late in the story. The biggest example is the conclusion to the Dan Heng/Jing Yuan/Lingsha story. It felt a little forced and out of place. Although the actual content of the mission was great. Dan Heng just fucking chucking his spear at Taron after he had just spent forever talking about how they wouldn’t dare break the dragon people code was so funny.

Let’s talk characters. Yanqing finally got to complete his arc, and he got a massive W. His growth in 2.4 and 2.5 has been a highlight of both patches. I like how dedicated he is, I like how he’s really seemed to grow up. He had some really badass moments. He probably landed the single biggest blow on Hoolay we’ve ever seen, barring self inflicted wounds. I’m just happy he finally got to grow into himself a little more, if we don’t see much more of him I won’t be upset. He had a satisfying conclusion to his arc.

Okay okay listen, I know this was supposed to be Feixiao’s patch. I know. She was great! We got to learn a little bit more about her and her lore, and I think everyone loves our lacking general. But… she had her patch stolen lmao. Jiaoqiu was 2.5’s baby, he was the bitch of the hour, he was the star of the show. I’m not even mad about it either. Shit was peak.

Jiaoqiu’s arc with Hoolay was the best part of this patch. It was so hard to watch. They really didn’t pull their punches. I mean some of the things they choose to put Jiaoqiu through… Since you’ve gotten this far I don’t care about spoiling you. The way the choose to end his story in 2.5 was tragic. I was sure they were actually going to kill him, I was losing my mind. Him drinking the poison because he knew that Hoolay would want to drink his blood is so unbelievably badass. If he had actually died from that I don’t think anyone would be bashing the writing. I’ve already seen some debate about if they should’ve actually killed him, or if his survival is more interesting. Personally I like keeping him alive as a choice, specifically because they took his sight. The more I thought about that the more I realized how cruel it is. He’s a doctor, and a cook. You can’t really be a doctor while blind, and he probably couldn’t cook meals with the level of complexity he’d like. Not only that, but he’s clearly deeply traumatized by the experience. Wondering aloud if Feixiao is really speaking to him or if it’s a trick to kill him. He said he was content but honest to god I don’t believe him. I don’t think those are the words or the tone of someone who is actually at peace with their decision.

And his VA? Hello?? Brother must’ve had rent due or something because goddamn he killed it. Jiaoqiu kept getting more afraid, injured, and miserable as the story progressed and his VA managed to portray that without going over the top or sounding hammy. There was so much emotion in his voice, it was crazy. That was an all time great HSR vocal performance.

Those are most of my thoughts for now. I suppose I’ll probably be back for 2.6.

Excerpt of the Day // Revised Ch. 37: "Lost (Or, More, More, More)"

Author's Note: This chapter was extra fun to "revise" *cough* rewrite *cough* for... reasons. LMAO. 🙃 

Fan Art ("Stand-off" by Aki):

Damien’s expression turned thoughtful. "Have you spoken with Ominis yet about the relic?"

"Not yet, or at least not that I remember. However, I had planned to meet all three of you at the catacomb this weekend, if Ominis agrees to it."

"You still have a few days."

"Thankfully."

"Perhaps you should wait until you feel a bit better." Dammit! How? How was it that absolutely nothing got past Damien?

"I have a headache, but other than that, like I said before, I feel fine," Sebastian countered, a bit too quickly. Damn, damn, damn!

Damien raised a skeptical eyebrow. After a moment’s pause, he said, "Where are you headed next?" As he spoke, he ran a hand through his hair, loosening his low bun in the process. The strands fell free, cascading past his shoulders in soft golden waves.

Sebastian's mouth parted slightly before he could stop it, utterly entranced. Damien's gesture, so casual, so unthinking, pulled at him in a way he didn't have the strength to fight. For a moment, everything else - the lost hours, the relic, the throbbing in his skull - went up like smoke. There was only Damien, and the infuriating way the candlelight from the torches on the wall clung to him like it, too, was captivated by him, as if the flickering flames recognized what Sebastian himself refused to admit. 

Wait... what? Admit what? There was nothing to admit... was there? 

Sebastian shook his head, not allowing himself to dwell on whatever path his thoughts were about to go down, what he wasn't yet ready to face. 

"Bash? Hello?"

Sebastian blinked, snapping back to attention. "Did you.. did you just call me Bash?"

Damien's cheeks flushed a brilliant shade of pink. Sebastian felt a small surge of pride at being the cause of such a reaction. And a nickname, hm? That was... unexpected.

"I suppose I did," Damien replied, toeing at the ground with his boot. "Do you not like it?"

Sebastian chuckled. "I like it. It's different. Most people go with Seb, but, well, I think 'Bash' suits me better." He grinned, striking an exaggerated fighting pose. "You know, I do enjoy a good brawl every now and then. Might as well live up to the name, right? Bash people up." He winked again, hoping this time around he'd get the reaction he expected.

And ah, yes, he absolutely did. Damien let out a quiet sigh, followed by a smile, the corners of his eyes crinkling up just so. Absolutely delightful. Positively smashing.

"I'm glad," Damien said. His eyes even twinkled in the dim light. "You still haven’t answered my question, though," he added. "Where are you headed next?"

"Back to my common room, I suppose."

"Care for some company?"

Sebastian paused, weighing his options carefully. The day’s events had left him on edge, and Damien had already witnessed enough. If Sebastian had another episode, it would likely spark questions Sebastian wasn’t ready to answer. But...

"I think that can be arranged," he said, before he could talk himself out of it. Immediately, he felt his mood brighten considerably.

"Good." Damien smiled again, very subtly this time. It was so faint that if Sebastian had blinked, he might have missed it. What was that about? 

"But first, I need you to answer a question," Sebastian put forward. He wasn't sure why he'd chosen this moment to suddenly say what had been on his mind for a while, but it was out there now. He couldn't take it back. 

"Oh?"

"You and Natty. What's going on between you?" The memory of Damien's interaction with Natty in the Great Hall on Christmas still lingered in Sebastian’s mind, nagging at him.

Damien stared at him for far too long, then quirked an eyebrow. "Oh, you're serious."

"Deadly serious," Sebastian said, adding a touch of humor to his voice. His seriousness was indeed quite genuine, but Damien didn't need to know how bothered he truly was.

Damien exhaled slowly, his expression softening. And then, he said something that changed everything. "I still have feelings for you, Sebastian. There's nothing going on with Natty."

Surprise flickered across Sebastian's face. Merlin! Could it really be? Well... if Damien was willing to admit such a thing, Sebastian intended to make the most of it. 

Sebastian launched himself at Damien, his hands latching on to Damien's strong arms, just below his shoulders. Sebastian gripped Damien like his very life depended on it, then shoved him, hard, against the wall, and all but mashed their lips together.

Having co-workers I have regular (daily) meetings with is so interesting, because I have never felt like I have so little in common with a group of people before in my liiiiife. Even in the depths of my PTSD brain 10+ years ago I always felt like I had things in common with my various co-workers, just like I was speaking a different language, underwater, through plexi-glass and having trouble breaching all the barriers.

Not these people, though. We have one thing in common: we care enough about USA politics to take a job 100% focused on USA politics. We have a small team meeting daily but for the days we have a big team meeting once a week, or a national meeting biweekly. There's always a check-in question, and I always have an unpopular answer, it's genuinely hilarious.

When the large, national team meeting divided into birthday months for a breakout room and all the December babies derailed the actual check-in question (trying to find birthday twins, we didn't have any) and ended up talking about how they loved Christmas the most. When they asked me specifically if I liked Christmas best (I wasn't going to rain on their parade unless they asked) and I was like "I am not a holiday person and I've tried to get into Christmas, but I don't really like it, so I prefer to have game nights or get out and cross country ski in the winter than prepare for Christmas," they did not like that. I was told multiple times to "just give it a try," lmao. However, my irl experience is that December babies often hate Christmas, because their birthdays were so often subsumed into the holiday, so they were weird to me on an extra level for that, too. Also two people started talking about skiing injuries, which was kinda funny. "Oh, you like to cross country ski? Well once I tore my meniscus downhill skiing, checkmate." Like what, all I can do is laugh.

When the check-in question was "Do you have any fun plans for the long weekend?" and other people had a plethora of answers from going out with friends to video games to sleeping in. And I was like "My partner and I are going to explore a mountain biking trail complex we've never been to before!" and literally no one else had ever mountain biked even once, lol.

I took a day off to create a long weekend to go see my bestie who moved across the state recently and my smaller team asked what we did when I got back and I was like "hot springs and camping!" and they were like "camp...camping...outside. camping. hm. and sitting in water that the ground heated. wow you live a crazy life up there in Montana," and that's one of the most basic weekends I can imagine. We were car camping too, it's not even like we did some crazy backpacking.

And today in the medium-sized regional meeting, when the check-in question was "Would you rather be a vampire or a werewolf," and not only did everyone but one other person say vampire, but after I said werewolf and explained why - upon explicit request (eat a normal diet, have a regular schedule to plan around, be able to be outside regardless of lore, possibly have extra strength and durability to hike faster/farther, not have to eat people) - the next several people to respond (all vampire) specifically bashed werewolves in their responses (how like a vamp amirite).

I'm not upset or even offended, it's just a bit weird to feel like a completely unique and slightly alienated type of person compared to my co-workers.

[cancerian-woman]

people don’t want to understand bonnie fans because they don’t want to touch or even acknowledge any sort of racism. either they fear being seen as racist OR don’t want their opinion of the show tainted and wake up to the fact that that so many other people regard their favorite show with disdain lol

(it’s (mostly) all about image! it’s the same with how people call damon a rapist regarding season 1. It’s a bad look to stan him so it’s best to deflect, deny, be delusional, attack and try to bully people out.)

i do love the show but i do hope and pray something (a book or show) done by someone who is more socially aware replaces tvd for me. nothing hits what tvd did idk

anyway about fandom, i just stick to tumblr now. i was on the tvd subreddit for a couple years and it was exhausting when it came to bonnie. it’s sad but im way too sensitive regarding her so i stick to my bubble 😢

You’d be right. Fandoms can be very white centered. Some people choose to willingly be ignorant to harmful tropes that are pushed in media period.

I’ve met so many Damon stans that act like that through that subreddit 😭. They deny it ever happened and argue he would not do such things when we were shown. I do blame a bit of that on the writing. Ex: Chuck from GG had to have his predatory ass behavior addressed while making him an LI. But Julie/Caroline Dries is the head of the Damon/DE fan-club in this regard so they’ll never. Will never forget them insulting Elena just to bash Bonnie/Bamon the year after Julie’s “apology” for telling POC stories incorrectly. I would say apology to Kat but she didn’t even say her name in the “apology.” To my knowledge Ian is the only one who said Damon was a rapist.

I left that subreddit too. It felt like a cyber-microaggression. Just off the top of my head I remember the Bonnie is racist to Caroline debacles, the claims that because Bonnie was disliked back in 09-10 that’s why Kat never got screentime and the “Kat shouldn’t complain about her hair on TVD if she’s going to wear weaves…” situation. That’s not even the tip of iceberg.

The TO subreddit is just as bad if not worse. The arguments about Marcel as if he’s devil himself. The constant battle boarding and the fans who developed a superiority complex the way the Mikaelson’s have. You’d think this was a well-written franchise. We are not watching Breaking Bad, you need to calm down tf lmao. Immediately.

I experienced a user saying Marcel was unimportant in the narrative but dare you argue against Hayley “she’s the reason the show exists!”. The show about the Mikaelsons?! But why do they get mad when you say K&E aren’t the protagonist she is….

I love engaging through tumblr. It’s generally more nuanced and people are nicer here than anywhere else. I genuinely think you can find a sweet fan in every corner. Whether that person is an Elena, Bonnie, Caroline, Salvatores, Mikaelsons etc. More people are open to going: “Hey,this is trash! But what if you expanded this idea here…”. It’s just fun here! People are more open to fanon concepts which brings bigger discussions. Yes, it’s some bad seeds in certain areas but people aren’t as… idk weird so to speak.

I think as long as we encourage fantasy authors to keep telling their stories we can find another story to fill the gaps that TVD has. I get what you mean though.

Hello! Hope you are doing well! Could I please have a ship for HEGSWEW????

My name is Claire. My pronouns are she/her. I’m about 5’9, curvey hourglass figure (wide hips, smaller waistline, bigger chest), I have dark brown collarbone length hair, dark brown eyes, glasses, sharp jawline, high cheekbones, and subtle acne scars. I can be pretty self-conscious about my looks, especially my face.

At school, in public, or at work I’m pretty introverted. But at home or with my closest friends I can one of the loudest! I’m fiercely loyal, even when that loyalty isn’t reciprocated, open minded, stubborn, pessimistic, I can be self centered at times, and impatient. I’m definitely an old soul and a hopeless romantic!

I’ve been told I’m funny, loyal, understanding, and sweet. My love languages would be quality time and words of affirmation. I don’t have any romantic experience whatsoever and a history of unrequited love and heartbreak.

My hobbies are writing and listening to music. My interests are history, psychology, neuroscience, medicine, dance, and any sciences.

My goal is to either go to medical school and be a neurosurgeon, neurologist, or psychiatrist. Or get my PHD and be neuropsychologist.

In a partner, I look for someone who will love me unconditionally, loyalty, open-mindedness, gentle, sweet, smart, and funny.

My top 3 fav bob boys are: Grant, Eugene, and Talbert.

- - -

Thank you again and have a wonderful day!!!!

Hello love!! Thank you so much for the ship request!! (also thank you for your patience lmao)

I ship you with…

Eugene Roe!

A song from my liked songs that reminds me of y’all - What I like About You by the Romantics

How you met

So you were a nurse at the aid station, like, the best nurse they ever had

You were discussing a patient with a coworker when Eugene was helping a soldier get to a bed

When he looked up after helping the soldier get situated he saw you and he was just floored

Like not only did he think you were just drop dead gorgeous, but you also had this expression on your face that was just so laser-focused it was so hot he started short-circuiting

Poor boy was so lost in thought he didn’t realize he was in the middle of the walkway and an orderly carrying supplies crashed into him and everything went everywhere

Gene felt so bad he immediately started scrambling to get the supplies

Of course you hear the commotion and run over to help pick everything up

You and Eugene reach for the same roll of gauze and your hands touch ✨

Both of you look up and he see’s your gorgeous brown eyes and there’s just this Moment between y’all

Like time just Stops

Before long people calling each of your names snaps y’all out of it and you disappointedly get back to your jobs

Gene makes a point to come to the aid station as much as he can each day though

One day when it’s just the two of you in the hallway he reveals a bunch of wildflowers he picked on his way to the aid station from behind his back and just says

“I’d be honored to take you out darling, if you’ll have me,” with these bashful but sincere eyes, stretching his arm out to give you the flowers

You just smile the most you’ve ever smiled before and reply, “I thought you’d never ask”

The rest is history ❤️

How he knew he loves you

So both of you are sitting under a tree by a lake - y’all are in Austria now, just waiting for the war to end

The two of you are just breathing in the peace around you, for once you can be together without the pain and grief that comes along with being medical personnel in a time of war

You two begin talking about what you think you’ll do after the war, and Gene makes a realization

He doesn’t want to be without you

You’ve become his safe space, the way you defend the ones you love, your fierce intellect and intelligence, your unique way of thinking, the way you opened up to him, Gene can’t imagine spending a single day without you

Gene takes your hand in his, rubbing his thumb lovingly over the back of it

There’s a brief beat of silence before you hear Gene ask in a shy, nervous voice

“I know this is out of nowhere, but… would you think about coming back to Louisiana with me? I just… I can’t imagine my life without you…”

He looks up at you with the same look he had when he first asked you on a date, and you feel the same butterflies you did that day

You gently put you other hand on his cheek before replying

“Gene, I thought you’d never ask”

Both of you just break out in the biggest smiles EVER before Gene pulls you into the sweetest kiss known to man

A conflict and how y’all resolve it

So the two of you went walk in a park together one day

Everything was just lovely - the sun was shining, the weather was mild, you and Gene were just strolling and laughing and just Enjoying each other’s Company

You and Gene were laughing at something when a girl jogging in the park accidentally crashed into Gene sending both of them on their asses (poor baby needs to watch where he’s going)

As you’re helping Gene up you notice the girl’s facial expression and the crash was Totally Intentional

“I’m sorry, I need to look where I’m going more” she says in the FLIRTIEST tone ever

Gene just smiles and helps her up as he casually replies, “no worries”

And just… does he not mind that she’s flirting with him?? Is he trying to flirt back?? Wtf??

The girl gets all touchy feely with him before continuing on her jog, going so far as to shoot you a smug smile before she’s off

What just happened????

“Gene, you do realize she was flirting with you right?”

“What? She Bumped into me darling, I just helped her up.”

Your self-consciousness starts to get the better of you and you worry that he might’ve actually been interested in her

You just feel your heart sink a little as you take your hand out of Gene’s and stuff your hands into your pockets

Of course Gene realizes something is up, “What’s wrong doll?”

You don’t want to respond, you don’t want to give into the anxiety, but the pull is too strong

“You thought she was cute didn’t you…”

You feel Gene stop walking next to you, so you stop and look up at him

He just has the most heartbroken look in his eyes

“Is that why you think I didn’t mind helping her up?”

Before you can reply sweet boy just puts his hands gently on your shoulders before placing a soft, sweet kiss on your lips

“Mon Cherie, I’ve never laid my eyes on anyone that ever compared to you. You are the most stunning girl I know, in looks, in your love, in your compassion, in every way possible,” he whispers all this after touching his forehead to yours, almost trying to just THINK into your brain how much he loves you

It might’ve worked because his words are just the thing you needed

You pull him into a tight hug and bury your face in his shoulder, feeling a resounding sense of relief

“I love you Gene…”

“I love you more darling”

Your Happily Ever After

Both of y’all are like eachother’s biggest hype mans but also you both have the tendency to overwork yourselves

So each of you makes sure the other takes breaks and takes care of themselves

You notice Gene getting a little snippier than usual? You ask him how things have been at work before getting him his favorite chocolate bar from the kitchen

Gene notices it’s getting harder for you to get out of bed in the morning? Sweet boy will ask you how med school is going and work with you to plan a self care day within the week

You both are just so sweet and understanding and supportive of each other like its absolutely ADORABLE I CANT HANDLE IT

A silly headcanon about your relationship

Y’all have little dance parties while you’re making dinner and it’s absolutely adorable

You’ll turn on the radio before you turn on the stove and then you just feel Gene spin you around

His hands go to your waist and before you know it y’all are cutting up the kitchen tile, laughing and having the time of your life

Many a dinner have gotten burned this way but it was Totally Worth It

Thank you again for requesting Claire!! Hope you like it ❤️💖💕

1 thru 10 for rames 👀👀👀

EHEHEHHE hiiii!! thank you! i love all of these loll

who fell first? who fell harder?

(<- can't get rid of?) james fell first. lmao. no funny comment no jokes he's just that kinda guy, and he's liked roxy for a long long time. as for who fell harder... well... i'd say it's up for debate. in my mind, it's roxy, just because i've got the timeline of their relationship so permanently etched into my brain i might as well get it tattooed in the back of my eyes or something. but from just the writing + whats out of the story, i think the case could be made for james as well!

2. who is the one who fusses the most? does their s/o mind very much?

rox for sureee. we all saw how she was when he got sick! miss girl was good and freaked; almost felt sick herself just looking at him. wrapped him up in a blanked burrito, tried to give him as much medicine as she could, sat and played her guitar for him. she was so worried! james, though unwell, lapped that shit up tho. he looooves it - doesn't mind at all. he's not superrr fussy i'd say in general because he knows she can take care of herself pretty well, but he has his moments for sure. roxys usually 50/50 about being ok with it or not bc she knows he has good intentions

3. what is their love language?

call me a hater but i've never really understood only having one major love language (sorry), i think it's more of a combination of multiple that help made a good relationship among many other things. for roxy, i'd say she's more inclined to lean into quality time overall, just being around james and hanging out together as much as they can is her favorite thing ever. even if they're not doing anything particularly special, it's still important to her that they're doing it together. that, coupled with words of affirmation through songwriting is mostly how she's able to express her feelings (maybe that can also count for receiving gifts if we call each song one?), though if james did press her she could be able to fumble out some affirmations here and there :) for james, i'd say physical touch is huge for him - he's pretty much always got a hand on her somewhere if they're close enough. secondary for him is also words of affirmation and it comes much easier to verbally communicate for him than it is for her!

4. has either oc ever gotten a hickey off the other? what was their reaction?

ya. i'll put it in tasw when im not too embarrassed to write it and when i think their relationship is crossing into more physically intimate lines (though they are minors so nothing explicit will be written about them just as a sidenote). i'd say roxy is actually quite the demon about it, though she isn't leaving them where people would likely see because she'd get bashful about it. surprised james at first, and he's not fond of it happening too often bc bruises + his beautiful skin don't pair well. but as long as she asks first and he agrees he's fine to wait out the few days it takes to disappear. other way around, it's not his go to move because he knows it'll embarrass her if someone says something. so if he wants to leave one its going somewhere someone can't see. if he asks first she will also be okay with it every once and a while!

5. what is something they like to do together?

they're still honeymoon phasing it for the most part so just being together at all is something the two of them love. they haven't really found their thing yet, but music does really connect them. she's becoming more open to letting him hear her works in progress and he's learning a lot about her through that! they also like to make out :) a lot :)

6. who would ask the 'would you love mf if i were a worm?' question? how would their s/o answer?

james is asking and roxy is telling him no she would not!

see morning glory (2.4):

“James, that was incredible!” Roxy praised, reaching over the railing to pull the item off the line and onto the stairs with them. “Where did you learn how to do that?”

Had it not been for the darkness of the outer edges of the studio, she might have seen how red his cheeks grew at her amazement. “My dad liked to fish.”

There was something off about the way he said that, as if there was a bit more to the statement than he was letting on, but now certainly wasn’t the time to pry. Instead, the writer nodded, “So does mine! He took me with him once when I was little, but I cried when I learned he used live worms as bait.”

“Aww,” He voiced sympathetically, before taking his pointer finger and wiggling it around right before her very eyes. “Little Roxy couldn’t stand to see the worms?”

With her free hand, she knocked his out of the way and failed at concealing her laughter. “No! I couldn’t then and I can’t now! All they do is dig around in the dirt and poop and-”

7. who likes forehead kisses? who likes hand kisses? who likes neck kisses?

though they both do generally, roxy roxy roxy. lol. no elaboration on this one sorry!

8. who is the big spoon? little spoon?

depends on the situation, if they're just sleeping james is typically big spoon and rox is little spoon just because they fit better that way, but in times when he's sick or needs some extra comfort or she's feeling extra clingy she's happy to hold him in return :) they're versatile lol

9. if there wasn't enough seats, how would they sit? one on the others lap? one on the armrest? one on the floor in front of them?

she's in his lap immediately lmaooooo. most of the time it's because he's pulling her there! goes along w number 3

10. who plays with whose hair?

roxyyyy she loves his hair soo much! he takes good care of it so its extra soft and so smooth and she loves having her fingers in it. screwing up his do be damned! james will too, mostly if they're just watching tv or something he'll braid hers or put it up in funny ways to amuse himself. but if they're cuddling or whatever she's usually got her hands in his hair and he's usually got his on her body lol. <- guy who worked so hard on his washboard abs to fall for a hair girl

[why-the-heck-not]

1, 2, 37, and a question you wish someone asked

Thank youu for asking !!

1: Age

23

2: Sexuality

Bi

37: Do you regret quitting any hobbies?

yeees big time. I used to do ballet for like 13 years but quit bc had to change to a different city bc they didn’t have advanced things where I used to go and all my friends quit somewhere at that point, so the last couple years I didn’t rly have friends there. Also I wasn’t like trying to go pro or anything and sort of that was as far I could go with it if I wasn’t rly going to be serious abt it. I think I also got too anxious and self-aware at that point (damn u 16-year-old-me)

96: What's the worst book you've ever read?

Picked this bc I’ve been wanting to rant about Normal People by Sally Rooney for a bit. Maybe it’s not The Worst book I’ve ever read, but it wasn’t good and for the amount of hype it has, it sucked.

My ”review” (if u can call it that) below SPOILERS FOR ”NORMAL PEOPLE” BY SALLY ROONEY

I feel like there was potential there but in the end it just kept repeating the same cycle of them being together and then getting separated. Like it just kept going???? It got old after like 2-3 times.

And there really wasn’t even an attempt made for character building. It was all very surface level and it felt like neither of them actually grew up during the years and got stuck with that high-school level of communication when they in fact were grown ass adults like?? Act like it!!!! What the fuck was the problem there like ,,?? If u want to be together, you can be together; you’re no longer in high-school and ”having to take care of ur social status” (which also is one tired old trope). Literally give us one (1) reason why tf it’s so hard to commit to eachother when u clearly can commit to other ppl?? If the intention was to make the reader frustrated with them, I’d be okay with it if the book gave actual reasons for that. But it didn’t bc it’s all so goddamn one dimensional. The ”they can’t be together bc they’re wired wrong and traumatized and mentally ill” just doesn’t work when you don’t dwell deeper into the underlaying issues. It especially felt like the author just gave up on Marianne’s character at the end and went with the ”oh she was traumatized? That means she has some kinks and that is now her entire personality”.

Also the ending just felt so rushed and I hated it. Nothing got resolved in a real way. The redemption arc? He got to succeed and had some opportunities etc., and she just got the guy and that’s about it. Yes, you could read it like in the beginning he had a loving family but no money, where as in she had money but not the loving family, so in the end they got what they wanted as a kid. But that’s so blah. There was nothing suprising about it. It felt like they both gave up and settled for whoever was left and it wasn’t out of actual love; just the residual feelings from pining after eachother for a million years.

Overall, it just felt pretentious and it didn’t have enough dimension to actually create believable mentally unwell characters. It barely had a plot. I get it from the marketing point of view bc an easy read that has some edgy topics sprinkled with fanfiction tropes, but it just wasn’t good.

(This is just my opinion, don’t let me deter you if I just bashed ur comfort book; you like it and that’s all that matters. Mine is A Little Life, so I’m in no position to judge lmao)

Melon: MAAM

Me: Dean saying it was shooting bottles on a fence I Feel Like Thats A Lie

Melon: Ma’am this man exudes daddy issues in a 6 km radius at all times you really shouldn’t ask him anything about his dad

Melon: Does this look like the face of someone who was hugged as a child? No? Cause he wasn’t

Melon: Pretty sure any answer he gives could be a lie cause like I’m pretty sure the entirety of everything he’s ever done with his dad flashes simultaneously every time he remembers him.

Sam and Dean looking like dumbasses with their fuckin. Metal detector?

Into the sewers without delay we can't go wrong we know the waaaay

That ladder is pretty sketchy

What a creep

Ok scared him off for a sec

Dean army man crawling in a stupid little sewer

[ Melon notes that he's always felt showing someone crawling through a dark tunnel on their stomach is, in his opinion, one of the scariest things to be utilized in horror. I think there's a lot of merit in this; you can't go very fast, and you can't turn around, so if something else is in there with you... It occurs to me, that while we've warned away Melon from TMA for Prentiss reasons, I should show them MAG15. ]

WOO SPIRIT SHOOTIN

Eugg... bones...... the corpse of one of the victims

Well thats creepy as shit

Salt circled him

[ Crepe makes a reference to a Tumblr post about salt in hoola-hoops, instead of salt circles. I'm sure one of you guys could dig it up. ]

CONCRETE TRUCK LMAOOO DEAN WHERED YOU GET THAT

WHSHSHS THE AWKWARD SILENCDean stfu

Well thats rough

[ More discussion comtinues on useful and hilarious solutions to demons and ghosts, such as holy water squirt gun, holy water humidifier, and salt infused hairspray flamethrower. ]

Like father like sons oh ma'am

Oh boy

AHAHA.

I mean I get being upset but also its stupid as hell

You can't blame someone for what their parent did thats fucking stupid

I mean I get being concerned that some traits carry over but this soecific behavior is stupid!

[ At some point around here, the episode ended. I, however, was hung up and DEEPLY offended by Jo's behavior at the very end. ]

Me: THE SINS OF THE FATHER ARE NOT THE SINS OF THE SON. BANGS HAND ON DOOR. DO YOU HEAR ME.

Melon: *cough* unfortunately pretty sure john could find a way to pass on his sins or smthn. Dudes done some weird shit

[ I rant about it a bit more. I'm so deeply, deeply offended. Then, a pivot into discussion about the monster of this ep. ]

Me: Anyways absolutely wild that the monster this ep was an irl serial killer

Me: Same energy as Robert Smirke being in the Magnus Archives

Kayla: ROBERT SMIRKE WAS REAL?

[ Needless to say, the conversation was immediately sidetracked. ]

Crepe: What did he do

Melon:

Kayla: BUILT STUFF AND ITS EVIL???

Me: WELL NOT IN REAL LIFE

Kayla: WHAT

Kayla: IS THAT A US GOV BUILDING

Kayla: HE DID BUILD REAL EVIL INK YOU LIAR

Kayla: THATS THE HIGHEST EVIL???

Me: Ok I can't argue with that actually

[ There's some more prattling about this, but I'll mainly leave you with this last thing. ]

Kayla: the us govt isnt its own fear?

Me: No that would be giving it too much credit

---

Well, needless to say, I can't say I'm a fan of Jo at this point. It's a bit frustrating, because it's very clear (to me anyways) that her characterization is the result of some annoying tropes. I can get behind the idea of her wanting to be like her father, and maybe being a bit reckless, but the treatment of her is just... idk. Really frustrating.

I probably would have been a lot more sympathetic if it weren't for that weird turn around at the end. I understand Helen seeing John in the brothers and having issues with that, but Jo? After surviving all that with them? I can understand feeling conflicted, but the way it was presented... hrgh. Irritating all around.

At least this episode had concrete truck. Keeping in theme with the TMA references, Adelard Deckard would be proud.
