I don’t really like the word queer sorry
#good for anyone who uses the word for themself!#not for me#idk it just makes me uncomfortable when someone uses it on me or describes a group of people as such#at cubbyhole this woman I befriended who was my age kept using it to describe the bar and then even used it on an older woman#and then she used it on me#‘ughhh I love meeting another queer trivia fan’#it just made me wince#again if you like it please use it#but idk not for me

I watched Scott’s Real Life video first because he and Joel are the main two I watch, which is ironic because of their ongoing in-game feud and very different personalities, video styles, general vibes, etc., but I digress.
My first thought when I saw the title was “Yay, another life series!” My second thought, upon seeing Joel standing in the circle, was “Oh my gosh, Joel, three SMPs at the same time? Why does he do this to himself?” Then, after watching for a bit, I was like, “Okay, never mind, this an April Fools video, still fun though.” And then I proceeded to enjoy the silliness and binge everybody else’s videos.
Let me tell you, watching Martyn’s video before Scar’s and hearing Scar yell that he’d fallen out of his wheelchair, I was really worried, and I immediately searched for Scar’s video to make sure he was okay. I’m glad he’s alright, I bet that was scary.
On another note, do y’all consider Cleo’s win cannon? Cause I do! Go Cleo, she deserved this.
I’m kinda sad it wasn’t Joel or Jimmy though, I got really excited when I realized how well Jimmy was doing. He got, what, 7th place? The canary curse has officially been broken!
This post has gotten way longer than I intended. Oh well.
#this was fun#watching everyone having no idea how to work the vr was a blast#I felt for Joel#poor guy#I also get really bad motion sickness#especially when doing anything vr#I watched his and Gem’s videos back to back#and let me tell you#hearing him gag a bunch#made me laugh#and also wince in sympathy#and seeing everyone’s irl cameras was so funny#watching them lay on the floor was hilarious#anyhoo#trafficblr#traffic life#real life#real life smp#scott smajor#dangthatsalongname#joel smallishbeans#martyn inthelittlewood#goodtimeswithscar#zombiecleo#I’m so happy she got the w#good for her#jimmy solidarity#geminitay#I guess?#idk I mentioned her in the tags so I’ll tag it just to be safe

Guys, I really hate to be a killjoy but Fit did not call Pac "babe" in today's live.
#mod talk#TBD#?#Maybe#I wanted to post an edit with that earlier but I missed the ''good posting time'' window#And now I wish I posted it anyways because I keep seeing incorrect transcripts circulating (both here and on twt)#it makes me wince a bit because I hate seeing misinformation spread#Like if it's a matter of ''let me be delirious'' go ham but I'm seeing lots of folks who didn't watch the live taking people's word for it#Delusions can be fun but on Royal Archivist I'm always going to present the facts as-is.#Translations; transcripts; whatever it is - I'll always do my best to represent things accurately#which is why I always try to ask for clarification if I'm not sure about something#This is such a non-issue but I just saw a few people get bummed out when they found out the ''babe'' thing wasn't true and it made me sad#Anyhoo. Got a couple edits to share tomorrow so keep an eye out for that

...only Hugo's gothy insistence on how Love and Death are Basically The Same Thing is giving me patience with this ; I really do enjoy the sort of Presence of Hugo's very powerful and always Potentially Deadly Love, it's at least more interesting to have the stakes be Life And Death
and I like this bit so much:
The permanent and the immutable are persistent. People live, they smile, they laugh, they make little grimaces with the tips of their lips, they interlace their fingers, they call each other thou, and that does not prevent eternity.
the insistence that the grand and the minute are the same and inextricable is one of my favorite running themes in the book; I can't be mad about seeing it again <3
...but I don't want to listen to teenagers flirt oh my gooood please let's move on Hugo
#listen if Providence wanted me to hear teenagers flirt Providence would not have made me so old#he's really captured the wince factor#I feel about this the way I know some people feel about the Corsica speech#just facepalming so bad

#just got around to reading taylor swift’s profile for Time and…..#and i’m saying this as someone who went to her show#who spent a lot of money to see her with my sister#and who genuinely likes her and her music#the profile was fucking bad lmfao#reading through it i kept wincing at how cringe-girl boss-capitalism it all was#and then the entire part where the journalist refuses to challenge taylor’s narrative about being canceled in 2016#even though she FELT canceled her numbers and success did not show it at all with reputation#like. a journalist just. spoke about it in their own article but not TO her#when it’s so important for anyone but especially journalists to challenge people’s narratives especially inner narratives that might warp#the reality of the situation#it was just a puff piece obviously but god was it…. not good imo dkdkkd#also her talking about mastermind and how it connected to the end of phantom thread made me wanna 💀#like girlie go back to your eras tour enough interviews for now#it did its job. but at what cost to my brain to read for both @ taylor and @ the journalist

I don't really have much evidence of the fact that I was at least mildly aware of what Guilty Gear was in 2014 other than that Holy Orders was so bitchin that I pirated downloaded an entire album that's survived the death of 1 external hard drive and about 3 computers since
Guilty Gear sleeper agent
#textpost#I just realized my rip of GGXX Sound Alive also has a translation of the liner notes in the folder#Need to see if the archive server has those...#They're in a .MHT format so it's like a snapshot of a website that is *very* much dead#Clicking a link took me to a site that made my antivirus wince lol

its been more than a decade at this point but the line from the Arrow pilot where the doctor tells Moira "You have to understand that the the son you lost might not be the son you got back" still lives completely rent free in my head and still sometimes gets me like a gut punch when I remember it. just Ouch
#arrow#dc#moira queen#arrowverse#just rmembering makes me wince sometimes#can you imagine?#absolute 10/10 writing#made more and more questionable choices as the story went on#but the pilot? fantastic#just everything about that first homecoming#but especially that scene in the hospital with oliver in the bg and Moira hearing that awful things happened to her son#it still gets me just thinking about that scene

#House of Ashes#Salim Othman#character death#my gifsets#god this scene hurts so much because it's such a 'perfect' death scene#Salim made all the right choices by constantly wishing to go back to the surface instead of headlong into danger#and yet he also made the morally right choices of helping his allies and enemies if they were in danger#sharing knowledge whenever he could#not even wanting to fight but just wanting to get back to his son#and then after he risks his own life to help out Jason and Nick#they leave him here#not only taking away the single escape route to the surface#but also making enough noise in the process to alert all the vampires and bring them to Salim's location#so there's no way for Salim to escape#and he doesn't even despair or rage#he just has the bitter realization and says goodbye to his son#and at the very last second there's a wince as he braces himself#ffff I swear this scene moves me so much but I avoid it whenever I can

Even beating Odor of the Day...? Maybe I should watch that short, then
I ACTUALLY NEED TO REWATCH THAT ONE!! i've only ever seen it one, and it was the HBO Max version... which, for whatever reason, cuts out all of the sneezes and so i was viscerally confused as to why the short had no dialogue except for the "gesundheit!" at the end LOL. so maaaaaybe i'm due to see it again!
I WILL SAY, since the near month this has been ruminating in my inbox, i have become more lenient to the Pepe cartoons in my skimming of them for polls. i don't think i've seen one in any other circumstance except out of obligation, but... it's hard not to laugh at the stupidly butchered French. i can't stop quoting AVEC AVEC UN POLE CAT LE PEW to myself LOL
but yes, i think the very first Pepe short is worth watching just for the sheer novelty. it likewise helps that this is about my favorite era of Jones cartoons, though i won't lie, some of the frames here are butt ugly HAHA
#also has the only time you'll see Bugs in a Pepe cartoon#i can understand WHY they made For Scentimental Reasons the blueprint--it's a genuinely great cartoon. but it becomes a bit too quick for#Maurice Noble's layouts being the only hook for me#i don't love Tweety and Sylvester shorts but the benefit is i adore Sylvester and so i can get fulfillment just from him#whereas i don't have any feelings on Pepe/Penelope is cute but not very substantial#the PEPE LE PEW IS CANCELLED stuff is so stupid but at the same time.. the ending to The Cat's Bah genuinely makes me wince lol#anonymous#asks

one key difference between me and felix is that I saw this and immediately went 'oh-- but that's not a Tolkien quote, that's directly from the movie adaptation (I haven't even read the book since I was twelve, but I happen to know this because it was mentioned in a long post about the movies I saw on tumblr like a year ago and minute details about random things stick to me like gnats on flypaper)'
and the difference is that I thought 'okay god that's insufferable of you, who cares' before I could even consider actually saying anything, but felix thinks it only immediately after doing so
#he's really quiet a lot of the time as a defense mechanism for how often he says something out loud and IMMEDIATELY winces#it's not like he doesn't KNOW he just doesn't catch himself until it's too late#nobody likes a know-it-all :') you think you are simply sharing fun facts but then everyone wants to kill you with hammers#BUT I WILL SAY. I *am* lowkey using my blorbo as an excuse to exorcise 'I can't articulate why this bothers me but it genuinely does'#lmaooo#that's NOT-- he DIDN'T-- it doesn't matterrrrr who caresssss but I can get it out of my system on tumblr where it's harmless lol#I would not have made a whole post just for 'that's a misattribution and it's stressing me out' without the framing of being about felix#because that's insufferable and who cares. but also *I* cares. AND ALSO I'll take any excuse to talk about the lad#about me#my OCs#felix#posts from facebook

Gotta say lads, it's strange but luminous to be able to see myself struggling but in real time tell how it's making me better, maybe it's a sign of my aging but it's somehow so warm and comforting to me.
#its just. its just that i haven't really experienced suffering where i can see in the moment exactly how it is helping me#most of the time I'm just agonizing blindly into my own echo chamber#and my logic DOES know that I'll grow up because of it but me in the moment doesn't know that she's just in it right then#but idk idk. something is beautiful to me lately where i can walk away from each day#wincing at where I've made mistakes or been embarrassing#but also knowing almost right away that I've grown up ever so little from it all#it's not useless it all. becomes part of me in some way#I'm growing up and growing new constantly. and the aging feels new and precious to me like it never did before#anyway anyway. just wanted to say that before going to sleep#i love you all very much see you tomorrow 💖💕🩵#thinking out loud

the more my back starts to rebel against me, the more I start to believe that if someone threw me really hard into a rock in just the right way, maybe I too would regain abilities that have been latent within me, and maybe my eyes would also start to glow, and I also would unlock my true potential as Avatar, Master of All Four Elements
#firelord ozai do that to me next#a:tla#seriously what happened when I hit 30#was it just waiting#that shot always made me wince bc I was like That would Kill a bitch#but now I look at it with my mouth watering#独り言

Bout to sit down to watch DW with the folks already internally cringing bc I saw it this morning and they are gonna haaate it
#I'm not even sure I liked it!#i like bits of it#but it's definitely upped the Silly Factor in ways that often feel more clunky and cringey than fun and camp idk#I feel like I'm being the fun police but is it too much to ask that my silly campy spacetime fun also be good???#i feel like it used to be#it was stupid and we had farting aliens and shit but like#very little 'oh i am actually kind of embarrassed to be seen watching this'#believe me i do not WANT to ve cringing about it I'm all for 'cringe is dead'#but I just think there's a difference between low budget surreal but grounded and deceptively well-made/written silly TV#and high budget cgi saturated awkward dialogue fest that barely hangs together and keeps making me wince#it's like I'm getting the wincing feeling from that one awful clunky 'like some kind of volcano' line from fires of pompeii#but ten times an episode minimum#i want to like it!!! i want it to be good i want ncuti to have an absolutely killer era!!#and it defo has its moments!#but bro....... so much tv is just. Bad now.#and it's probably a mix if factors#effects of writers strikes and producer meddling and whatever else#but I'm sick of tuning in to watch a new thing and finding them all riddled with the same brand of very fixable clunkiness#things that could have been fixed with very minor revisions more often than not!!#anyway not posting this in the tag bc i do NOT wanna be a hater or start fucking discourse about this#I just miss feeling excited about tv#i miss having some flimsy sense of trust that things might feel well put together even if i disagree with how they take the story#mr. bees speaks

The Ted Lasso Amsterdam episode is beautiful and sweet and whimsical and romantic and lovely, no question
…but did they really expect us to believe that anything Rebecca wears is dryer-friendly
#come on now#I mean to start with the coat was a TWEED#all that research on the location#and not one consultation with a wardrobe worker#Ted lasso#for internet purposes this is a jokey friendly tease I’m not actually mad#I am a fan I am just also a textile nerd and the shits if the clothes in the dryer made me wince
