watching this in a dark room w/ my laptp super close is prbs not great w the seizure warnin g but whatever

MIgas in the tank- wait did i even watch last week when did mgias get in a tank

Yaz crying is a nice detail, but still mad they fucked up her backstory

GD THIS IS 31 MINUTES FUCK I CANT DEAL WITH THIS

why did this have to become about climate change

im sorry i hate baby caliban but i also LOVE HIM

Cammie voring everyone

Val is the real MVP f this season lets be real theyve done SO MUCH to support the team

GOD I HATE BROTHER TATE SO MUCH I HATE EVERYONE SO MUCH

Dr.Jha doing the most work

Not sure how i feel about cammie forcibly asceding everyone

Okay i keep clicking out of the video bc im so distracted but thats the point im at, i like cammie giving chase the new weapons but it also feels like im watching a video game

rip henry is dEAD

i dont have a clue whats happening why are we fighting nemesi, why are we fighting the holon frames, i come back to this show every week and forget what happened because i never feel invested enough to retain shit

like whats the point of this fight. What's the emotional investment, Nemesis isn't even someone worth fighting now, there's no combat teamwork in the fights,its just Chase while everyone else- whatever i cant be bothered

Wow cool more blood and thank GOD sinclair is clothed again i did not like seeing his almost dick last episode

Okay I spoke too soon Cammie in Nemsis' head that's cool

idk if u cant recode him just kill him

Wow cammie so you're plan is ruined

WHAT IS THIS MUSIC????? i kind of like it

is sinclair going to kill marin oh my god

I KNEW HOLCROFT TOOK UNLOCK

What is unlock again, using- YOURE GOING TO PAYWALL SURVIVE

SINCLAIR?qel q' q w qw rk

sorry marin i think ur about to die-

plz dont make me watch her die or ill lose it i dont need that gore- wow great cant believe they did that to me

WHAT THE FUCK

guess sinclair isnt on our side- oh we've lost the holon frames, what are we going to like massive link into them or something

no not the fucking monster face

WHY IS IT COUGHING BLOOD NONE OF THIS IS NECESSARY????

Cammie is just like tinkerbell now tbh

THE HOLON FRAME IS ASCENDING?????? WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING

i kind of had a feeling we would fuse- OH ITS EATING THEM

ive never watched eva but this feels like theyre trying for some big philosophical anime ending plot yknow like- why is this show so horror focused now geez

Dr. Jha SUPPORTING HER EX YEAH LETS GO WELLER CONTENT

she got the KOALA!!!!!!!!!!!!

wAIT WHY IS THIS LITERALLY THAT POST ABOUT HOW FUNNY IT IS WHEN SOMEONE IS POINTING A GUN DOWN AT YOU I SAW TODAY????

Was going to say "oh so we're steven universe fusing like i thought" but then i remembered s1's mindshare was basically that too-

Dr. Jha did you really make things better or worse and also I need to know if Kazu is permanently dead or if s3 (if we get it) will sinclair fill the void

How can Tate see this and be like "yes this is what god wants"

At least in s1 i could follow the tech talk but this season its ALL going over my head

oh so we are ALL nemesis now

watching these slow laser bullets is making me miss the cool action fast paced fight of s1 where we first fought nemmy, those camera angles how i miss u

brother tate PERISH

okay so the writers definitely just watched attack on titan before deciding to write this season i guess

HI SINCLAIR

wow call back to yaz's dream in s1 i was about to say and then we really did just become big giant robot

this sequence is cool ill give it that

KAZU HELMENT IM GOING TO CRY!!!! AND THE GUTIAR THAT'S HIS THEME IM GOING TO CRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay s2 hbo you got me there

primal i think u will like this robot a lot maybe s2 is worth saving

*sees the twilight monster again* okay nevermind

Wait that happened so fast I didn't even realize they won i thought we died

CHASE OUT OF THE TANK???!!

Can he exist out of the tank- OH we need to absorb him thats why

2 days later... play that song do it i know u want to

okay baby caliban u have my heart

guess we are NEVER fixing the issues with yaz's past

So Holcroft is the villain of next season

AW CUTE YAZ AND VAL WIN!!!!

So team is splitting up, i HATE this found family is broken up

I like that they didn't force Dri to ascend and we're addressing her trauma now that shit has calmed down and she has to just sit with it

yo what is sinclair up to or is that just the end

[keycrash]

figured i’d talk a lil bit about watching gravity falls & my thoughts since i didn’t liveblog it anywhere public. spoilers

so going in i had working knowledge of the show-- because my friends love it and talk about it so much (plus experience watching them rp the characters, lmao) i already knew the characters fairly well, and basics of the story, and even a lot of talk about specific episodes, i just hadn’t WATCHED the thing. i already knew the twist, with mostly-complete knowledge of what was presented in not what he seems/a tale of two stans, but i literally had no knowledge of the show beyond that point besides Bill Comes Back And Had A History With Ford, so... i dunno, it was a nice experience having that kind of familiarity without being completely spoiled, you know. getting into new things is overwhelming for me so feeling like i already knew the characters gave a nice solid foundation

anyway, i knew going in that i’d love ford, because that’s the kind of fucker i am. i knew i’d love the others as well but. yknow. but actually watching it was! interesting! because i didn’t have as much exposure to ford’s GLARING flaws beforehand, so watching it was like “oh. oh honey. you’re such a motherfucker and i love you.” while on the other hand i figured stan would be an “i like him but he’s mostly just kinda there” type even though all my friends loved him excessively but by the end i ADORED him.......... and dipper and mabel were pretty much as expected, i Love Them, and actually seeing them in action-- dipper’s pride and paranoia, mabel’s pure love but also BRUTALITY WHEN NECESSARY, FUCK UNICORNS-- was so good....

the best part was probably during the finale, though, because i’d been reading the ciphers for each episode as i went and one mentioned that a pines wasn’t going to make it and my friends, evil as they are, started interrogating me on who i thought was gonna die, and this was how i approached it:

anyway fuck my friends for convincing me someone was gonna permadie i was SO distressed lmao. of course i ended up being ‘right’ in that stan had a self sacrifice (and holy shit, the puzzle pieces falling into place when you realized they were gonna swap clothes was so... satisfying AND devastating) and it not only succinctly ended stan’s arc of wanting to be appreciated and of use, but also put ford in the position of 1. not being the hero for once 2. having to confront that he cares about his brother and all when it’s already so late. i’ts just so. smdfnsmdfnhdmmhg.

i reeeeeeeeeally liked the ending, though, god. the mabel-land and shack fight thing wasn’t exactly my niche but the summoning circle, almost ending the world over grammar, THAT is the shit i live for. the sibling dynamics in this show, its approach to hope and recovery, and the BEAUTIFUL animation just... all knocked it out of the park. i almost wished i’d grown up with this show, you know? and i would have! it aired from 2012-2016, when i would’ve been 12 to 16-- starting off as the age of the characters, even. fuck me for getting into stuff this late, lmao. the good thing though is that it kind of... helped fill the little void in my heart that steven universe left behind when it kind of started going downhill. gravity falls knew how to be succinct and say exactly what it needed to say and i really appreciate it

but man. that shit hurt so good. i ordered a copy of the journal pretty immediately after finishing and im gonna be thinkin about it all for a while

Homestuck, Misc

Okay, I’ve got a lot of ground to cover, so let’s go.

Aspect: Breath. I’ve been considering what this one means, and one part of it I haven’t seen much about: friendship. And I mean this in the My Little Pony/Steven Universe senses, where friendship and non-violent interaction becomes an alternative to violence. As for some examples: John first banishing the imps from his room, then later joining them to watch Con Air. Tavros uses his communion powers to turn foes into friends, doing very little fighting as he traverses his land. Later on, he uses his friendship powers to assemble the Massive Ghost Troll Army. Rufioh? Well, it seems everyone wants a piece of that ass, but I’ll grant that we didn’t see much of what he wound up doing.

Shipping. Gotta have some good shiping. I’d just like to bring to mind just a few lines that Roxy says to Callie, before her brother kills him.

TG: im worried 4 you TG: but optimistic TG: i will call ur name like a million times TG: and shout it in 2 the void every chance i get TG: til u come back :3

Which strikes me as being one of the most romantic statements in Homestuck. I totes HC them in the flushed quadrant.

Big news! Hiveswap has a launch date! Now, I haven’t been digging for information about this game, mostly because I want to go in as cleanly and spoiler-free as possible. Basically, I know what I got from the trailers. I do expect to enjoy Hussie’s humor some more. This also could mean we’d get some more people liveblogging Homestuck itself. But what I’m REALLY hoping for? To see the wiggler caverns. Mostly because I find the fanart of the wigglers to wind up being really enjoyable/funny.

[keyofjetwolf]

I have some questions about how the pattern. So for five dollars, I get access to the Steven Universe liveblogs. How does that work? and is it only temporary access, like if I don't read them within a month I lose access, or is it forever? Secondly, is the 20 tier liveblogs archived where I would be able to go back through old pattern liveblogs you have already done? I apologize if the answers to these questions are obvious and Im just not understanding clearly. Thank you for your live blogging

No need to apologize! I am all about clearing up any confusion.

Okay, so! The idea of the Patreon is a way for me to, ideally, generate sustainable support for the stuff that I do here. Consider the Patreon stuff as extra thank-yous to those who are sponsoring me. So for things like the exclusive liveblogs, And Steven access, etc., those are on a per-month sponsorship basis.

When you hop on at those levels, you’ll gain access to what I’ll be doing in the upcoming month, but in addition, you’ll also “unlock” access to what I’ve done in the previous months.

So for example, as my Patreon exclusive this month, I’ll be liveblogging Princess Tutu. Let’s say that you liked what I did with Princess Tutu in THE GIFTENING, but your budget is limited (TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE), and you can’t quite swing it this month. Maybe next month, though, everyone votes for me to liveblog Buffy. NOW YOU’RE SUPER INTO MY BUFFY SHIT, so you sponsor me at the $20 liveblog tier for that month. You’ll not only get all the rewards at that tier, but also access to the Patreon liveblogs, which is where I’ll be doing Buffy, and ALSO where I did Princess Tutu. So you’ll get to backread (or watch/listen, if I livestream) what came before.

But the following month (because again, completely understandable limited budget), you drop back down to say the $1 level. When the new month kicks in, you’ll lose access to the Patreon only blog. But at some future month, if you go up again, you’ll regain access to all the previous posts you last saw, including everything you’ve missed since you were last a patron at that tier.

Does that make sense?

I think it helps to keep in mind that the idea is “sustainable”. We all have bills to pay and everybody’s gotta eat, right? The Patreon lets me take care of all that pesky capitalism stuff, in a way that enables me to also continue to spew WORDS and feelings and intensely quality content all over you guys.
