I think the most significant metaphor in I Saw the TV Glow, if only in my interpretation, was the fucking inhaler. It's the device that gives enough temporary relief from the suffocation of being buried alive and not even knowing something's wrong, not by temporarily making it not wrong but by making you not notice that specific problem. It's still there, you're still suffocating and crushed under the ground dying alone and with your actual self torn out of you, while the fake version of you huffs the inhaler again and again with growing despair because it never addressed the problem, you were just told it would fix what was wrong

danganronpa is so fucking crazy bc it’s like “hi. this is a game series with a fucking amazing premise. unfortunately the writing sucks and is bad and you will spend half the time going ‘eugh why did they write that’ but you will play the whole thing anyways and get attached to your favorite characters and cry when they inevitably die. also it is filled with romance subplots that will stay in your brain forever” HUH??????
#marzi speaks#like. dr sucks but i like it.#but it sucks#but then like. there’s just??? so much in-depth romance and it makes me want to cry???#like. like. thh. asahina + sakura (so sorry lesbians i do not know their ship name). they are so cute and then they are so tragic#and ishimondo. GODDDDD ishimondo. you get to go ‘oh HELL yeah’ for a chapter and then they make you HURT#even like. makoto w/sayaka. start of the betrayal girlfriend trend. love it#and even toko and togami are interesting!!! like they will not date and should not date but they are fascinating#and then sdr2. do not get me STARTED on komahina what sort of psychosexual freudian bullshit are they on i will never know#but there’s also like. hinanami who r SO good. and mahiru and hiyoko who. tbh i wish they were handled better but still#fuyupeko. they make me crazy. and their parallels to akane and nekomaru. aaaa#SONDAM oh my goddd. they’re so#i may not be a v3 fan but they DID give us a lesbian love triangle and i do have to thank them for that#also the best polycule in the world in the form of the workout trio#kokichi i don’t like. but i DO like his little crush on shuichi even if i think it’s one-sided#kiibouruma will forever be real to me tho. world’s worst polycule. for balance#anyways why does dr have so many good romance plots. they’re so. why are those so good#AND WHY ARE LIKE HALF OF THEM QUEER. WHY DOES THE HOMOPHOBIA GAME HAVE SO MUCH QUEER CODING#idk i’m insane. <3 i’m a little crazy. komahina what the hell even are you….

It's not necessarily unexpected to see Eddie's mom so delighted to have Christopher considering her and Ramon's *gestures wildly* everything, but it is bizarre and gross.

like guys i promise im aware blossomfall is meant to be a glass child. i just think she’s a poorly written one lmao
#tbh thats why my feelings on her are so strong. its a delicate topic for kids but time and time again#its been handled extremely poorly and just used as an excuse to hate disabled people#i think my exhaustion with these stories is bc they were sorta shoved down my throat by the school board growing up#because they heard ‘’wow you got TWO autistic brothers??? your life must SUCK ASS AND BALLS have this book abt how autism ruins families’’#wow cool i feel so much better guys. both about the ableism my family faces in general and about my undiagnosed autism#if i had to think. and i havent read this in forever so i could be misremembering. i think a decent example of a glass child trope#is the sister from ‘’wonder’’ (the book. idk what the movie did)#because while she’s an important character who struggles with internalized ableism#the focus is still on auggie and HIS struggles with his own disability and the ableism he faces as a result#and the sister isnt demonized for her feelings but she does still have to grapple with them#and accept her situation and that no one is at fault or anything. its just a consequence of an ableist society more than anything#again. been forever and ever since i read that book and iirc it does still have iffy shit like the one chapter on genetics#like to this day that sticks out as an uncomfortable chapter and idk if i can say its fantastic rep bc of that#but idk. i remember liking it fine as a kid#i always appreciated books that tried to get into multiple perspectives on the issues#also this is just me and ik it goes against the definition of the term#but man. kinda wish we’d get a glass child character thats also disabled and their disability is undiagnosed or ignored#for the sake of only prioritizing their sibling and bc they have to be ‘’the perfect abled child’’#because thats my story lol#wasnt allowed to be disabled or imperfect or need help because being a third disabled kid wouldve been too much

Finally finished Avatar the Last Airbender!
I'd been putting off watching it for over a decade when my partner @joestarluxe convinced me to watch it with her, lol.
I might put all my thoughts in a bigger post later on (when I'm not tired after work lol), but needless to say I really enjoyed the show! I was most impressed with the worldbuilding; ATLA really does have incredible worldbuilding and I'm excited to watch some video essays delving deeper into that aspect.
Oh, and all forms of bending are so cool!! Going off the worldbuilding point, I really love how bending is something that's foundational and deeply enmeshed in the world of Avatar. It's not just an afterthought, you really do get the sense that benders have been around since the dawn of civilization and their unique talents have shaped the way society functions (this is especially evident in the Earth Kingdom, particularly the big cities like Ba Sing Se).
I also really appreciate how subversive a lot of the morals are, especially when you consider that this was a children's show airing on Nickelodeon during the War on Terror. The Fire Nation in particular has a lot of uncomfortable similarities to the United States (they even make their children recite a pledge of allegiance at school!).
Anyway, great show and I'm mad at myself for not giving it a chance sooner. I've heard a lot of mixed things about the Legend of Korra so I'm not really interested in watching it, although I may look into some of those spinoff comics/novels.

I think we should talk more about how CGI Brittany has the career 80's Brittany always wanted.
#80's brittany wanted so badly to be popular singer!! a star!! but Alvin was the one with the most fans and you can see it even more in TCA#while in the CGI's movies the storyline ends with Brittany and her sister becoming way more popular than them#they even leave the house because their career were going that good#side note i wish people bring this more often bc it's so tiring to see ppl say they're all siblings in the CGI universe#Alvin clearly said that they were taking them to their house bc they still needed a place to stay#and at the end of the last movie Dave only adopts the guys! Neither him or the chipettes wanted to stay as family#but don't get me wrong he still loves them and they love him just not in the way or viewing as a father#BUT ANYWAYS GOING BACK TO THE POINT#we should talk a lot more about this#it's a shame that the 2015 series N E V E R tells you how exactly popular the chipmunks are or if the chipettes are famous as well#they give you one or two random flashbacks of them singing together but at the same time there are episodes were it's just the three of them#idk it's smth that bothers me a lot bc smth that the rest of the versions did was being clear about how they handled their lives as singers#the cgi movies gave you a whole development of the Chipmunks going from being on the forest to become starts#and then they decided go give a break to spend their lives better with Dave while the Chipetted handled their own lifes#and hell the 80's chipmunks went as far as showing you each future of each chipmunk#they even tell you that both Si and Theo chased other dreams that have nothing to do with music and i give extra points for that!#why am i speaking so god damn much about this??? my god the aatc passion is real

anoes 2010 isnt like. a great movie. but its definitely not as bad as a lot of people say it is. i think people are just put off by how blatantly they made freddy a predator which like. has always been the case. it's in the original movie. but i guess if you actually make that the point of the movie people get upset.

I feel like the story needs to more obviously indicate how Yotsuyu sublimated her anger towards her parents for being pieces of shit into just straight up hating all Domans.
Cuz it took me a bit to realize that it's supposed to parallel the relatively common thing where second generation Asian Americans seem to feel some sort of shame towards their parents' culture compounded with the generalization made from having shitty parents that "oh it's just a cultural thing, all Asian American parents are assholes" which is. not accurate lmao.
Like I can see where Yotsuyu's coming from if only because I've had similar thoughts before and am kinda familiar with the stuff she's going through but it does feel kinda disconnected without having a lived experience like I do y'know. Wish the writer's could've conveyed that specific feeling a bit better, of hating the people that have hurt you so much that you start to direct it towards everyone that looks like them, even yourself.
It's even reflected in Tsukuyomi's design I feel, what with the bunny ears. It's a reference to Chang'e and her bunnies on the moon, and the addition of Chinese mythology to Tsukuyomi feels a bit Off until you realize that this is Yotsuyu summoning Tsukuyomi so there's parts of her reflected in her appearance. Her Doman heritage is something she can't get rid of so even though she hates it and tries to minimize it, it's still there. It just ends up relegated to a functionally useless piece of what is essentially decoration, but is still glaringly obvious enough to be ashamed about if you are. And I mean, what with all of the self-loathing and hate towards Doma in general, I'd say Yotsuyu's got a lot of that.
I kinda joked about this in chat with a friend but Yotsuyu really just. Did not survive the generational trauma and proceeded to traumatize an entire fucking country alskdjhlkdjsf. And I don't know what her parents' parents were like because the story didn't need to mention them, but she did not end up deciding to break that chain of trauma. It always seems to be harder to do that with the first generation, anyways. You don't really know about the concept, you don't feel like you have any obligation to prevent such a thing from happening, all you know is that your parents were pieces of shit and if they've fucked you up then, well, it's not a you problem. Except it is, it is 100% a you problem because you yourself are choosing to be a piece of shit to other people.
Anyways a few more thoughts about Yotsuyu's character, referencing back to my previous analysis that she might've been a parallel to Daji, I kind of rescind that if only because the path they decided to take in the patch quests felt keenly like they wanted to do something specific with her character that wasn't done in the original story of the overthrow of King Zhou of Shang. I still feel that her role in the base Stormblood expansion was more or less that of Daji's, just an interesting inversion hinting at some sort of traumatic past that's caused her to be this way, humanizing her past a typical femme fatale trope. They just decided to turn it around into commentary on this specific flavor of self-loathing that's kind of relevant to members of the Asian diaspora. I could also just be projecting here but, y'know, media is what you make of it and all lol.
tl;dr Yotsuyu good. Not as good as she could've been because I think they stumbled a little on truly showing the sheer rage and confusion that causes someone to become like her, but good nonetheless.

Gyre can't have any innate defense because she's a dps frame but she doesn't have any innate way of dealing with armor and there's only one ability you can use for that. And then her mod building is so limited because the ability synergies that are core parts of other frames and important for doing well are restricted to an augment mod and then you still need that armor strip and defense so you better hit strength caps and im so normal about this and not at all frustrated

Something more people need to acknowledge about Aphmau (the channel) is how badly her videos actually impacts little kids who don’t know better. Things like unhealthy age gaps, men making really weird, perverted comments, and not taking no for an answer was normalized for me. Jessica made it normal through Aarmau and characters like Garroth, Laurence, Dante, and Travis.
