after sleeping on it I genuinely am so hope for sotm because like. this is genuinely the first game in the whole franchise that is as cut and dry as sotm is. we know EXACTLY what we're getting from this story, not what's IN it but what to EXPECT from it.

every other release before sotm (maybe besides like SB since idk what it was like leading up to sb) were theorizing about what the game was ABOUT, not what was in it. we'd be thinking I wonder what this game is gonna give us and not what itll do for what it clearly is focused on. theres never been such a clearly focused game revealed at least just on the teaser before

and this is such a good sign because this is no nonsense. this is clean cut and dry "mimic backstory" and then after this game thatll be it. all the questions will be answered and they wont sprinkle incorporating it into the story here and there, they wont be spending anymore time on it because they did everything they needed in sotm

it's just such a good sign in general. they're starting to do actual clean releases where theres no messing around and they just do what they need to do. this is making me so hopeful for the future. after this game the mimic will be done incorporated into the story ready to just be in it, and theyll be able to focus on other things, which might get the same kind of treatment with these clean games about one thing only that dont play around with information!!

it's making me so fucking hopeful for games AFTER sotm, because no matter what after they give us cut and dry mimic backstory theyll be done and they can focus on the only other plotlines left in the story, which are all about cassie, vanny, vanessa, gregory, etc. all of the peaks!!

and if hw2 dlc comes out and is about vanny!cassie, then we know what's coming next in this new style of game!!

There are actually so many takes people have in this fandom be it through headcanons/fanart/general thoughts that make me wanna fist fight sometimes but you know what is best to do? Block/disengage/mute/ignore - whatever it is that I need to do to never see it again and I take responsibility for what I consume. Even though sometimes it's people who are my mutuals and friends that I generally enjoy connecting with. Sometimes we don't see eye to eye and that is perfectly okay!

But also...it would be super nice to be able to click on a tag/fanart/whatever and not see fighting or negativity or general asshole behavior. It would be SUPER nice if passive-aggressive tags weren't added to everything. Because I can disagree with your interpretation of something and not like it without it meaning I'm being a jerk. Without it meaning I'm being vague about someone or something. I'm not obligated to engage with things I don't agree with or like. But people can have different thoughts and that is okay. It stops being okay when you tell me that my thoughts are wrong and you're right and because you're "right" I should go fuck myself. Canon is canon, fanon is fanon and everything else outside of what is actually in the books is speculation. Everyone is guessing and whenever the next fucken book comes out, you'll know if you're "right" even though at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter because being right isn't the point, it's about actually enjoying the stupid books.

When people who have been in this fandom for years tell you they're burnt out, you can't wonder why when general fan behavior is crusty as hell. These characters aren't going to come out of the book and fuck you. Go eat some grass, touching it isn't enough.

Tux Tuesday quiz

Tuesdays are one of my favourite days of the week

Why is that I hear you ask (well I don't.... but anyway...)

Is it because:

I have back to back meetings from 8am through to 6pm

I had to get up at 5am to travel into the office

Its only the start of the week but it feels like the week has been 12 days long already

I pulled a muscle in my calf last night whilst running and am now limping around feeling sorry for myself

I get to post pictures of this fucker in a Tux

Lol... in my pics this is labelled as 'fuuuuuccckkk' 🤣

Answers on a postcard the back of a hot photo of Evans

No idea where the photo is from so please credit if you know...

[i-am-the-balancing-point]

you are not gonna be able to guess what lucky circumstances I managed to accidentally get myself into this time lmao I secured myself a spot at a nude drawing class without even knowing it was a nude drawing class. it’s absolutely fantastic tho! the class is usually super popular and spots are hard to get so I was really lucky

// actually- using this bit where Paris is knocked out to slide in for a moment. This blog is coming up on 200 followers soon (which- Holy shit, I still can't process that completely. Thank you??? I never expected this blog to get this big in the first place.)

...But onto the main point.

I've had this idea in my head of a larger scale event- illustrated, different universe, all that jazz, since late October or so. It'd expand on a lot of personal lore, and a shared story between the mod behind @tinkatinktrain that's been in the works for years now.

its me and my inability to compromise against the world

[grave-st0ned]

i’ve been debating on it for a hot minute now so

[floral-hex]

ayyyyyyy I set up an appointment for medication this Friday (telemedicine but whatever) and I get to see my former therapist again later this month. I’m kind of excited. More than kind of. Little sad, but I’m lonely and want to talk to someone. He’s a real cool dude. I’m a little worried to trauma dump the last 6 months on him, but whatever, it beats sitting there for an hour feeling like I’m wasting his time and struggling to think of things to say. dang dang dang, I’m excited.

sorry gotta be real here but rina was ADORABLE this season. i never really liked rina before but this season changed my opinions, like now i fully believe that they are good for each other and they clearly make each other happy.

despite this i’m still a portwell ofc bc they were so cute as well, i’m just a multishipper now bc rina & portwell <33 (which means i’ll be posting abt both of these ships)

thought i’d share some of my fav rina moments this season too:

1. rain kiss - THIS. SCENE. this was the scene where i started shipping rina but oh this was a cinematic masterpiece. ricky abt to give up & calling ej? gina running after him as he’s about to leave? the way ricky dropped the chocolates when she was about to kiss him!!! then there was the kiss and then THE SPIN HUG AFTERWARDS 😭 and the cherry on top was the second chance instrumental in the background (i freaked out when i heard it) also their chemistry is THROUGH THE ROOF.

2. maybe this time - i have this song on repeat i love it sm it’s SO GOOD the vocals, the lyrics, it’s so catchy. my fav line is “don’t look back just pull me closer, hands upon this rollercoaster” the harmony on rollercoaster was so pretty. flashbacks shocked me as well 😭

3. ricky’s part in gina’s speech - this speech as a whole destroyed me i must say. anyways the way she’s fully sobbing first of all breaks me. the quote “but with you, i feel so seen and so understood and so known” i’m not crying you are 😭😭😭 ALSO she used a polysyndeton! that’s how you know she means it!

honourable mentions to: the flashback in ep6 bc it’s the way that one small interaction changed each other’s lives and for the better, the ily scene especially the fact that the ily too was embroidered in the hat & that little moment at the end of born to be brave when they kiss each other’s cheeks idk it’s so cute 😭

IF FOUND: RETURN TO SPIDER-PUNK (AFTER LISTENING)

You know who has never made a fanmix and doesn't know how they work? Me. You know who made one? Also me.

Imagined as a C60 cassette tape, A side 30 minutes/12 songs, B side 30 minutes/11 songs Because. A side is more solidly just punk music (esp older stuff), B side has some more alternative rock-ish stuff, newer stuff, etc Because.

Listen here on Spotify, OR if you are into the old-fashioned fanmix things, you can download it here (mostly with shitty 192 bitrates but whatever) with the album art, divided into 2 "discs" (A side/B side), etc. There was also one specific version of one song Spotify didn't have so the uploaded version has the correct one but the version Spotify does have is. Fine.

Disclaimer: I haven't been really into punk music for 15 years or so, aside from a few favorites that are in the regular rotation, but it was a chance to listen to a lot of different stuff incl new stuff and pick some songs so uh anyway I had fun.
