🍄 getting back together 🍄 chanterelle infodumping 🍄 ONLY! ONE! BED!

[meownotgood]

I'm going back to bed the moment I post this but I've been having a super rough and stressful night... so for whatever reason I went back to read some of the kind asks I've received since I saved a lot... some since the first time I started writing... and I got so emotional and just began sobbing haha.... I can't believe how lucky I am...... I love writing so much.........

So I just watched the new Helluva episode (the Specter Diddlers)

Most of the "fuck" humor just made me roll my eyes at worst, and I could sit through it at best. The focus on Millie was the sole reason I decided to check it out and I loved that she got to be badass and have new lore to her. Her and Blitz had notable chemistry (platonically speaking, though I've seen some people start considering the ship after this). I don't think I could add anything new to the already existing discussion, but I'll just say this:

Ronaldo's existence is... incredibly confusing. What kind of demon is he? How did he get to Earth? Sinner overlords are the ones that can be insanely powerful, see also: Alastor, but even he is confined to Hell. Succubi and some imps (like Barbie) can be registered as working on Earth, but they don't seem to have any special powers outside of seduction in the former's case. Aquatic hellborn demons exist, like Crimson's mafia or Glitz and Glam, but they also don't have powers. Let alone ones this showy. I mean, the one other time we've seen demonic possession was in Truth Seekers (iirc) done by Stolas, who is a Goetia, which this dude also isn't... so what is he and what was he doing up top?

(Though since he was also killed at the end, he had to have been a hellborn, as sinners can only die from angelic weapons...)

It’s not that I’m not grateful, but it in hindsight there was no reason for Pietro to get naked like that.

unsure how to word this but there is something about having ocs with unsavory events happening in their past where it's like. talking about it, even when asked, seems almost gratuitous and inappropriate. and i'd much rather describe it through the oc themself and/or draw Them saying it. which is like. fitting for the subject matter? like of course its weird to talk about somebody else's business...!

and falls back into humanizing em/exploratory writing and development where u consider the impact of words said/words unsaid/HOW those words are said etc etc

[demigodofhoolemere]

Me through most of Boom: Wow, this is a really solid dramatic episode.

Me when Moffat needlessly sprinkles in anti-faith sentiments without specifying that it’s blind faith in bad things that the Doctor doesn’t like, which makes it come off like the Doctor is just against religion generally:

Orion and the Dark was cute but it would've worked better as a short film

[leviathiane]

yes, death mark is a rather flawed game. its got a lot of problems in all three iterations and in some ways death mark one, while being less technically impressive (lack of animations, no character sprites actively moving, art a little worse overall, less character sprites in general) it kind of handled a lot of very important aspects of the game better. namely, the plot, character integration/interaction, timeline, and yashiki just being a lil baby who isnt straight up inexcusably bad at his job--

but you must consider this:

Death mark 2 yashiki bondage CG,

hi i finally saw deadpool and wolverine and AHHHHHHGGG SO GOOD!!! i cannot believe how sick the yellow suit is. with the mask too, like??? and the honda fight scene was so fucking cool my brain is exploding

[textualviolence]

skinamarink was really good but i wish we would've a) kept to the atmosphere & not done stupid youtube short jumpscares like that toy telephone thing. Seeing the eyes in the dark was good but the face turning evil and scary and screaming was lame sorry.

b) kept the parents as the main horror figures & not implied a third unknown horror thats like the devil or whatever. Your parents whispering weird incoherent sentences and telling you repeatedly to go from place to place and look at things for no clear reason and appear really creepy but its unclear whether they actually mean you harm but you don't want to disobey and find out was 100% better than "the devil is here and will make your blood splatter on the carpet."

c) just had kaylee disappear with no explanation. The fast close up shot where she has no eyes and mouth was cliché & just too revelatory. Okay theres something supernatural that wants to harm the children. Now that i know that im actually less tense than i was before. If on the other hand the scene had just been "a creepy voice that may or may not be your parents called your sister upstairs where its dark and scary and strange and now she's gone and you can't find her and you're all alone", thats horrifying on a level my adult mind can't make sense of.

d) 20-30 minutes shorter sorry some of those scenes were both too long and not very good there was a lot that could have been cut without sacrificing either atmosphere or intent and would have greatly improved the experience.
