Constantly trying to remind myself that I am too grown to be arguing with idiots on the Internet about The Witcher games
#i mean ive only read all the books#played all the games#and am the proud owner of a functional memory and semi solid reading comprehension#but sure#go off dude#....#deleted a metric fuckton of tags ranting about witcher canon and the games before snapping back into myself and reminding myself once again#I AM TOO GROWN TO BE THIS MAD ABOUT IT#good lawd#no one gets under my skin more than a dumb man being loud and *objectively wrong* in the comments#ill just be over here#chewing on my bit#frothing at the mouth#and clinging to my self restraint like a drowning man#😭😭😭#the witcher 4

Sorry for the lack of posts, have some more headcanons!!
#MYYY self indulgent V headcanon number 234 is that shes a huge fucking dork#i.e she was a huge bookworm as a worker#well she was a dork in general#reading. painting. dancing. all of it#but alot of that. was kinda things she had to leave with the rest of her. when she became a Disassembly Drone.#And while alot of her died in the manor. she still kept some things close.#and one of those things is reading!!!#she cringes at like 90% of what she used to read but still goes out of her way to reread the copies she finds or is given#N usually gives her copies#She acts like she hates it but still reads them alone anyway#theres a reason she has bad eyesight and its because she reads with the book 3 inches from her face in the dark#also Uzi probably makes her read Twilight at some point and laughs the entire time (they both hate it. Uzi just likes messing w/ her)#anyway i just like the idea that in a world where V is finally allowed to start her life again#she looks for the things she loved that she had to leave behind#and finds new joy in them as who she is now#she might not be that little worker anymore#but shes still the girl who loved to curl up in the library when no one would notice. reading any book she could get her hands on.#idk i just like the idea that V deep down is still just a girl who wants to have fun.#i just want her to be HAPPY#anyway do you guys wanna hear why Chappell Roan's “Pink Pony Club” is so V code- (i fall down the stage stairs)#murder drones#serial designation v#serial designation n#uzi doorman#also for context ive never read Pride and Prejudice despite meaning to#its just one of the only actual romance books i know off the top of my head#imean no offense to it. I just like joking abt V reading romance sdkfjkldsjf

#star wars#the original trilogy#boba fett#darth vader#hi. sorry for star war jumpscare. genuinely#i feel like ive kinda been on an art hiatus lately due to health stuff#i got diagnosed with a parathyroid disease recently (wahoo) so now i know why i have been feeling so bad! need more tests though#anyway. in the mean time most of the entertainment my brain can handle has been like. youtube clip compilations of shows and movies#not even the actual shows or movies. literally just sections of them on youtube#i wish i was joking#the only reason i know what happens in succession is because i have watched it in disjointed order in youtube compilations. not joking#anyway so ive learned a lot more about star wars than i ever. thought i would#mostly just the original trilogy and prequels. some of the old comics & books are interesting too#(sick to my stomach) i like darth vader he has like the same personality as ganondorf except he had no good reason for doing anything#when vader/anakin does literally anything weird or unacceptable it like. makes me laugh so hard its like jerma when he sees a car accident#boba fett’s costume design has been rotating in my head a lot too it’s very good#he’s very colorful and like. matte/unpolished compared to vader and it makes them a cool duo visually#those 2 are my favorites. vader why is the space cowboy the only person aside from sidious or tarkin who is allowed to get mad at you#sidious is my 3rd favorite. he sucks so bad as like a person that you just. you have no expectations of him except just being evil#so its just really funny like everything he does is horrible and he’s so happy all the time like good for him#i’m making it sound like ive never seen star wars before. i have i just never really cared about it until i got an endocrine disorder lmao#but yeah idk art may continue to be slow while im figuring out treatment stuff#if anyone reading this also has or has had hyperparathyroidism im wishing the strength & radiance of 1000 beautiful horses upon you

i love madoka magica however i dont think we as a fandom talk enough about how tragic madoka herself is. probably because the narrative itself steers you away from thinking about her personally. shes not a character shes a desire that homura has, shes a force of good, shes homura's foil. but those are all madoka's narrative roles but madoka herself as a person is not really looked at because we are viewing this world from an unreliable narrator(homura) who only sees madoka as those things. The best thing homura could have done for madoka was give up on her, to let her go. because every time we go back in time the image of madoka is distorted, she loses more of herself every regression of homura's as she tries harder and harder to save her. We don't even know what madoka originally wished for to become a magical girl in the original timeline. and she actually acts quite differently than the madoka we meet. shes a lot more honest and caring and bold. by the time homura's has reached the actual anime madoka has been reduced by the sands of time to a figment of herself. she has no wants or desires of her own beyond wanting to do good and help her friends and when all her humanity is stripped away is when she finally acends to godhood because thats all thats left of her. an ideal and a faith in her. madoka kaname died a long time ago and all that is left is her ghost.
#of course homura doesnt care anymore because she cant go back she can only go forward cuz if she gives up she killed madoka for nothing#she could have left her pass away with dignity but now shes a ghost stuck in a web of time and the only thing she can do is keep trying#to save her#i feel like inately homura knows this but she doesnt want to admit to herself thats shes the real one who killed madoka kaname#this is a very charitable reading of homura#homura died too but its a clear moment because homura is our narrator#homura akemi will never come back madoka kaname will never come back#but life goes on anyway for homura#heres my truth#i loved rebellion but im actually a bigger fan of the original anime's ending so im glad it seems like red ribbon homu is coming back#i thought that ending was a lot more hopeful and beautiful and rebellion was kind of a downer but i always accepted they were parallel#and seems im right based on posters#for walpurgis#madoka uses one of my favorite literary devices which is the underuse of a character#i dont know whats it called but i love it when they dont outright develop a character usually to signal an upholding of the status quo#i already explained how madoka is not shown as a character but they do this in princess tutu too with mytho#mytho is a character from a book hes not real in the way that the others are and therefore cant actually change like the others can#hes always the focus of others and never the one thinking of others#i mean yeah he spends like the whole anime thinking about tutu but thats PART of his book its not him as a person#anyway ive been talking too much but i wanna bring up my favorite subtle use of this in takopi's original sin#the boy#idk his name rn lmao#hes straight up not present for the bulk of the manga and hes legit just absent from the ending scene despite being one point of a triangle#at first that weirded me out like??? he doesnt get closure???#but the reason was he didnt need it#the focus and moral is that those girls were 'weird' unable to be normal (because of trauma) and their closure was theyre at least together#but he doesnt need that because hes already normal hes the status quo a benchmark for the reader for the reader to judge the characters off#and the characters to judge eachother off of#anyway anyway sorry this has been so long#i had to get all of that out of me

character wrapped 2023 💥
tagged by @davidtennantpussytulpa ^-^ i didn't know how many to do so i copied tara and did top 10. i know the severance guys are Four Of Them but i can't separate them theyre all equally important to me
will graham (hannibal), em haywood (nope), aziraphale (good omens), mark & dylan & helly & irving (severance), hawkeye pierce (mash), martha jones (doctor who), ivan karamazov (the brothers karamazov), kim kitsuragi (disco elysium), stewy hosseini (succession), ruescott melshi (andor/rogue one)
i will tag... @fagician @britomart @libraryfag @roadwhores @majorbaby @globuspolski @hadleyfraserfaggot @tenderscience if u want to ^-^
#and now i will explain them all in detail#cos i started watching hannibal back in like. january or february and will immediately set up camp in my head and started to settle there#*I* pay rent to *HIM*. he lives there permanently. sweating and monologuing constantly#em was not only the character of 2022 but also of 2023 and of 2024 and the rest of the decade and all decades to come#she had such an impact on me keke palmer's performance will live with me forever and i love nope so fucking much#i almost didnt include her because nope was more of a last year obsession. but she lives on#aziraphale.........no comment#severance.......i love them all so much and at first i wanted just irving and then just helly and then i realise i cried over mark this week#and then i realised i couldnt possibly leave out dylan when hes probably my favourite character. so then i settled for all of them#hawkeye is my fucking wife. enough said#martha... well i knew i had to have a doctor who character. i thought maybe the doctor but then i thought their companions mean more to me#sometimes at least. i did have a fourteen icon for a while but then i was like but Donna..... and then i thought. well#these past few months at least martha jones has been eating away at my heart. i go batshit insane when i think about her#her impact. her grace. her power. so she had to go on the list.it was a toss up between her and donna for sure though#then i figured i had to include a karamazov since reading that book took up half of my year. and ivan was my favourite of the 3. so <3#kim goes without saying. literally nothing to be said hes the character Of All Time. to me#stewy also goes without saying ive had so many Stewy Save Me moments since the beginning of season 4 all the way to the end of the year#i miss him every day. he is the moment. i wish there was more of him all the time#and the last one is a bit of a wildcard cos all my insanity abt melshi has been on my andor sideblog.#but rest assured ive been thoroughly Not Normal about him. he literally side appears in 4 episodes and has 11 total minutes onscreen#but i love him. so much. and hes occupied most of my thoughts since september. once again his impact his power his grace. his homosexuality#enough said. that's all. thanks for reading. this was a great year for autism and madness#tag game#🍪

I love ye olde nicknames where it's either something genuinely cool like "The Universal Spider" or "The Last Knight" or "Heart of Steel," but there's an equal or even greater amount of boring ass ones like "Jakob the Rich" or "Philip the Handsome", like damn did you even try?
#okay tbf the spider guy was also called 'the prudent' and 'the cunning'#but the fact he was such a scheming asshole that he got called a spider is so good#the book i was reading called him the spider king 😭😭#i mean. fair. that guy was an asshole#its funny cause theyre all pretty straightforwardly descriptive#like you can infer a lot abt the people based on that#but 'jakob the rich' killed me. like you KNOW you gotta be rich if that's the thing they chose to describe you#<- his networth was apparently $400 billion by todays standards so#'the rich' you shall be sir!#okay but philip the handsome makes me die every time i think abt him#i was in vienna looking at a portait of his father my boy kaiser max aka the last knight#and it said smth like 'vater des philip de schone' (i cant remember dont bully me)#im like wow! the Handsome! this gut must be pretty handsome#ugliest man ive ever seen.#but in the history book i was reading in his section they kept saying how much of a ladies man he was#ik its true but man. it does not track even remotely by modern standards 😭😭😭#ahhhhh anyways history is the only thing making me happy rn so#hope anyone can appreciate these silly little anecdotes#i am having a lot of fun w this book i kinda wish i took notes#catie.rambling.txt

At the henchmaniacs section, I decided to try and decode the crossed out text... It's not perfect, and not quite done yet. I was able to find a very similar font to what was used (doesn't line up either because the page wasn't actually .. flat when I took the picture, oops), and have been filling in the words from what we can see and then trying to fill in based on the context of the other words and the space left between.
Yellow means I'm not sure if it's right. Black is I'm pretty confident it is right. I think I'm probably still missing 3-4 words. Picture under the cut, for anyone not wanting to see!
Also please no other puzzle spoilers! I've been trying to do a good read through before solving, so I haven't done any yet since I haven't finished reading it yet! Adhd brain just got sidetracked this morning.
"The smartest one. Figured out how (to) make dimensional portal(s) (missing word/words? or start of the following) --(o)o sm--. Who (cares) (missing word)? Too many eyes anyway!"
#book of bill#spoilers#im trying so hard to finish the book before i start working on solving things#i mean overall im sticking to that goal pretty good#ive only just gotten to time baby stuff#but ive only stopped and solved two things#then after ive read it all im going to solve so many puzzles#gravity falls

hmmmmb private rites. what did everyone think
#guys was it bad i think it was kinda bad :(#i loved our wives & her short story collection but this just didn't connect with me idk what it was#it felt sort of fanfic-y in writing style which sounds mean lol but it really read like someone trying to imitate her writing style based#off of her first two bookswhich is crazy because it is literally by her lol. the characters felt a little tropey especially jude & like#maybe not my place to be discussing nb representation my own weird gender feelings aside but they felt like such an undeveloped paper doll#of a character. soo weird like they were only relevant to reflect the protagonists and i thought maybe that was because the perspective is#from the main three sisters but even when we got jude's perspective they didn't feel like a real fleshed out person. idk idk. and the endin#i was warned the book falls off towards the end but i hadnt been enjoying it all the way through so by the end i was like. yeah that tracks#i'm bummed about it lol idk maybe i'm being too harsh ive seen a lot of positive feedback

"The impulse toward chaos was one he knew. It ran hand in hand with the desire for violence to be done to him. To destroy him because he was not worth saving."
x. "The Vanished Queen", Lisbeth Campbell
#The Vanished Queen#Lisbeth Campbell#📚#oh ouch LMAO#despite my longstanding love of fantasy royal settings i have always had. issues. w the royal characters depicted LMAO.#maybe its bc of the lifelong irony that ive felt&joked about in relation to my own name??? it isnt my fault i was named after the wrong#character in aladin so now we all have to deal w my streetrat jokes&princess quips LMAO.#but anyway this is the first of these types of books that ive read in a sec that had such a relatable prince character LMAO.#i can appreciate the trend towards books centering royalty+political intrigue to end w a dissolution of that royalty. but also#it can get... tiring having the same basic premise be that the royalty in question is forced to reckon w how fucking awful their bloodline#specifically has made things for their own ppl-- usually finding this all out against their will&in between feeling massively sorry#for themselves while also defending their family&core beliefs before finally coming to terms w the fact that things need to change lmao.#i understand the message+whatever&respect the trope value. it just. is the most frustrating part of these sorts of stories for me lmao.#bc this book centers on a tyrant king there's no moment of needing to reckon w beliefs being disproven or reworked to accommodate how badly#things are. the understanding of the tyranny is already there so the growth from the princes themselves are more in finding the means to#unseat their father. the growth of the pov prince focuses A Lot on his rage issues-- as the story goes on it becomes more&more clear#that his disinterest in the throne isnt only out of loyalty to his brother its also bc of this soul deep self-hatred that manifests#more&more in moments of increasingly dangerous&arguably suicidal behaviour.#&someone hating themselves for their impotence+lack of power in a world where they should have all the power is a lot more understandable#to me personally than someone who is forced to realize what harm theyve been apart of causing&their main storyline is coming to terms#w the fact that ppl not being oppressed+viciously abused is more important than a crown LMAO.#anger of various kinds was actually a HUGE theme in this book. it might be why i liked it so much lmao. my ever present anger issues#have been ripping me apart like rabid dogs as of late lmao. it makes me want to claw my skin off. sometimes. lmao.#something something rage is such an amazing source of energy that burns out so fucking hard lmao. human nitrous boost or whatever.#my moms birthday was the other day. maybe im just finally going certifiable.

I've seen you bring up 'cotar' several times and now I've gotta ask, what exactly is so wrong with it, especially it's depiction of fae cause at this point I'm almost tempted to read it to find out for myself.
I just find it extremely poorly written, and the 'fae' there are barely distinguishable from elves with a few weirdly adapted versions of solstice/equinox days used only for sexual tension between characters really the only thing that hark back to the origin of 'fae' in the common cultural idea. I'm all for self indulgent media but I've read through all of the books and all I can really take away is that the characters were extremely boring and cliche, the main character was extremely uninteresting, which might be the worst sin a writer can commit (/joke,/lighthearted), the mechanics of the world and 'magic' made no sense, and overall I think it would've been better if it committed to the self indulgence and did away with the charade of trying to be a character-driven story.
Also I simply can't forgive that acotar has gradually replaced the common idea of fae in fantasy over time because they hardly count lol
#im not /super/ serious about any of this i just find the authors work to be poorly crafted in every example ive read#idc if its 'cringey' bc theres always something for everyone and im not gonna knock that#however i just think its a bad series and i wish people would dispose with the pretense of defending the story when its apparent they only#like the romance#which is fine! thats totally cool! its just in my opinion a poor intersection of story and indulgent romance fiction#that only really relies on the reader's want to get to the next sex scene to slog through everything else#not art#ask#i just cant stand when a single story or media overtakes the meaning of terms like 'fae' or even 'Tam Lin'#i personally dont think the romance writing is good at all but i really dont care lol its not my thing anyway#honestly my whole opinion is that it got popular because people are starved for good romance writing. the book doesnt give that but at leas#it was There. at least in the mindset of someone pursuing romance fiction#last addition i prommy but the author cannot help writing every woman who isnt the MC to be catty and mean and its irritating#i just dont like it lolll
