#idk how to quite articulate it

Just thinking about it, but it's kinda weird how your dead spouse is kinda just glossed over when it comes to the fo4 romances, besides Preston (iirc)

like my partner just died like 4 days ago but let me just romance this guy I just met, as far as I know, Preston is the only companion to actually address this in his romance. Like its just a weird writing choice to me, not to mention that the spouse gets like 2.5 seconds of screentime and gets only a few mentions during the main quest.

i like to think goth is a gender in of itself

Fascinating to me that Hunter in the owl house not only fills the “child soldier of the villain who switches sides” archetype but if we are going through the tropes of fairy tales that The Owl House likes to play with, is a little bit the princess in the tower??

Post-Mor Pankh where Kaalaa Baunaa and Shamane hang out sometimes and something Shamane does just. reminds Kaalaa deeply of Kumar. The siblings haven't met each other in literal decades aside from the latter's final moments, but the fact that they're related is there, mirroring each other in the way Shamane goes cocky or makes tea or some other little idiosyncrasy, and after she notices, Kaalaa Baunaa is hit full speed with missing Kumar.

wait are you planning on converting to Judaism?? :000

Yup! Set myself a soft deadline to reach out to one of the shuls near me by the end of spring break so I should be talking to a rabbi fairly soon, though it'll be a minute until I can officially officially start. But yes, I'm planning to.

his internalised homophobia flavoured cowardice etc etc but genuinely kind of obsessed with the way this is the only glimpse you really get into what yosuke has been mulling over in relation to kanji specifically over the course of like. months at this point.

hera w359 truly one of the characters of all time. her "mother" literally programmed severely disabling anxiety into her personality to keep her under control.

I hate you prequels that are origin stories for cool concepts. I don't want to know!!!!!

having a post make the tumblr rounds really will teach you all sorts of things about yourself that you never previously understood, lmao

like, okay, the notes on the 'masturbatory' post fall into a few distinct categories—plenty of reblogs without any comment at all, of course; a lot of people saying, somewhat tediously but unexceptionably, that in their view the term should really be a compliment; a lot of other people claiming that it's inappropriate to share art they personally deem unappealing, just as it's inappropriate to share unsolicited dick pics (i take strong exception to this argument but it's very popular!); and finally a few people who admit that sex-negative insults aren't really compatible with the sex-positive stance they otherwise nominally concede is correct, and who choose to resolve the issue by gleefully leaning into the inconsistency—like, there are some tags on that post that are just straight up like, 'i love hypocrisy :)'

and like, the 'unwanted dick pics'/'artists i don't want to see naked' camp drives me fucking batty, for sure, but i can at least respect that they're trying to come up with a unifying principle, even if i personally think what they've come up with is pernicious nonsense ('consent' is an idiotic lens through which to contemplate the problem of 'viewing art,' imo); but the people who just—outright reject the idea that they should have consistent values to which they adhere, and that where they encounter resistance in themselves to these values, they ought to interrogate what's motivating that resistance, and attempt to find a consistent throughline? really, really alienating and—frightening to me, if i'm honest!

honestly with watching the Kingdom Hearts III cut scenes all at once I have been doing some skipping around bc ten hours is a LOT

and I am v consistently skipping the Maleficent scenes. girl, you haven't been relevant since the first game, just give up.

I've gotten a lot better and more like I guess easygoing about spoilers in general as I've gotten older, like I do what I can on my end to avoid them bc I personally would rather not get spoiled but I'm generally like whatever about people posting them, like everyone enjoys media differently and I'm too old and tired to be out here policing other people's posts. I'd rather people tag spoilers bc it makes it easier for me to blacklist them but honestly even when they're not tagged like whatever. That's life in the big city, as one of my old co-workers would say, and generally they don't tend to impact my like media consuming experience that much anyway, like. I got a pretty big character death spoiled for me when I was catching up on the JJ/K manga but that didn't make it feel "ruined" or anything it was more just an "ah well that's what I get for being on TikTok I guess" kind of thing.

But idk this week's J/JK leaks felt different for some reason??? Like it made today's chapter feel so anticlimactic to me bc like. Everyone had essentially already read it, the whole chapter, and was posting about it (the whole chapter!!!), and unlike most leaks it was literally impossible to avoid anywhere on the internet. I got spoiled here on Tumblr which never happens!!!! The second the leaks dropped!!! Like what happened to this site being dead lol??

And I keep emphasizing that it was the whole chapter bc idk, usually when something gets spoiled for me it's just like one scene or moment, so I can still experience everything else that happens around the spoiler as new and still have like something to look forward to in the form of the surrounding context I guess??? But today it was just like well. I've already read this. Several times. Since Wednesday. Without even meaning to. Lol. So it didn't even feel like I got a new chapter today. Idk.

Like the internet hype has been fun and funny but with it being delivered piecemeal over several days rather than a single explosion when the chapter dropped, idk. It just didn't hit the same ig ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

people can really be so weird about disability huh

Not to be a hater but I listened to tma this summer and unfortunately... just didn't get much of out of it. Even the episodes I remember loving weren't more than spooky with nice prose which made it overall disappointing

Anyways I started relistening to I am in Eskew today and it is Hitting! Perhaps this was what I was looking for the whole time
