A coworker texted me last night saying I remind her of Nicholas Chavez portrait of Lyle Menendez on the new Netflix series "Monsters" featuring the Menendez brothers case. My whole Sunday is fucking ruined now. Thank you, Olga!

[widevibratobitch]

my toxic trait is getting into a show that's honestly mid at best and creating a version of it in my head that is so so good and nuanced and compelling and then seeing a take by an average fan with wet cement for a brain and just deflating like a months old helium balloon

i've seen some people talk about einar's romance dialogue and how it feels offputting and rude to him but i'm gonna be honest,,, i never really saw it that way?

like i do agree that the player's dialogue options Suck compared to the other romances. something about it just feels really childish and definitely not as,,, "serious" or even committed as the other romance dialogue options. that being said, it never felt patronizing toward him.

to me, it feels like the player is just. being human. while einar is being galdur. the player doesn't get mad at him for not understanding certain jokes or not showing affection in the same way. and einar doesn't get uncomfortable with the player being human, making human jokes, or showing human affection. they're just Being Human and sharing their humanness with einar. which einar, while not always understanding of it, is completely used to and Does understand and enjoy it later on in the 3-4 levels. not that he didn't enjoy it before, but once you get closer to him, he Does understand more of the jokes and even joins in on certain ones (like the catch one!).

idk man it just always felt like the player and einar are just sharing their perspectives, personalities, and culture with each other. and of course there is the chocolate thing where he says he doesn't need it and the player has to learn what he actually wants from the relationship (ie spending time together). and there are still jokes that he ends up taking seriously, which yknow, that's kind of what i meant when i said the player's options often feel very childish compared to other ones. but it just never came off as patronizing to me, especially since einar repeatedly says that he enjoys spending time with the player and engaging in their "togetherness".

like to me it always felt like he enjoys learning about new things, even if he doesn't want to participate. like at the maji market when he says that while he doesn't understand the hotpot game, watching it fills him with "oneness". he enjoys learning about human and majiri culture and seeing them just be themselves! none of his dialogue implies that he's uncomfortable with the way the player shows affection (there Is something to be said about the dialogue options only ever showing one form of it,,, but tbf they can't put in 50+ options to cover the minutia of human brains lol)

idk i want to be clear im not shitting on anyone else's opinion on this!!! there's room for all perspectives here. i just wanted to share! i've seen SO many people say that romancing einar feels patronizing and like. i've just never seen it that way ! and it always confuses me when i see it akjhgd tbf i think some people are also neurodivergent (same lol) and don't appreciate the dialogue options that einar doesn't understand because in real life it Does feel patronizing when someone does it on purpose even knowing you won't get it. but for me, einar being galdur and not a neurodivergent human/majiri is an important distinction. he shows multiple times that he enjoys learning about human cultures and perspectives, that he enjoys talking to the player even when they don't understand each other, and that he's capable of understanding the player's jokes and sarcasm once explained to him. he Likes that they're different !

einar seems to enjoy the player acting "human" with him because he gets to learn about them! and he wouldn't want them stifle their true personality just to please him! einar is alllll about being true to yourself, your beliefs, your oneness, etc. he wants the player to understand him and his affection, but he also wants to understand the player's personality and affection. he wants them to share each other's "quirks". and don't get me wrong, i do wish there was more we could do to share in his way of affection (especially if his way is our way,,, like i'm Not flirty or jokey like that irl at all and i'd love to have more options where it really is just "hi i enjoy parallel playing with you :)))" lol) and that the dialogue options were less jokey or at least more affectionate/serious but idk,,, i think for me, i've just always seen einar as someone who wants to know and appreciate everything about the player, even the things he doesn't Immediately understand. he wants the player to explain things and share their culture with him SO bad

system where when i talk to men i start a countdown from ten million and stop at the point they ask me ‘what’s your ethnicity??’ and that’s the amount of money they have to pay me

as a dr fan we need to acknowledge that some of the danganronpa characters suffer through chronic liners for bad humor by out-of-touch old guy writers syndrome

ALRIGHT! Early Access Dream guardian thoughts

Okay just finished watching a video that went over all dialouge options for the dreams you would of have in Early access and let me tell you

I'm almost certain Ruiz would have been characterized much differently if this version made it to the final game.

As in, I have a feeling they would of been closer to their OG counterpart. Since, well, Ruiz doesn't exactly do romance or seduction. So I think the DG's manipulation would have quickly pissed them off.

Especially first playing, while I tried to lean into my OC's more... unpleasant traits, uh the want to do good things prevailed which is what is now TAV! Ruiz. So,

If the DG had stay like this in the final version;

Intial playthrough: I almost guarantee you, Ruiz would not have been friendly with it. Rather or not they killed the DG or just got up and walked away I'm not sure, but definitely would not have fucked around with it.

Current interation of Ruiz; If I had their specific backstory down (I.E their dream guardian takes the form of their finance who has recently passed) then I could maybe imagine them being more open to it, but I do think there would be some resistance, especially since that isn't really their mo, and Tobias certainly wasn't this... open about his flirtation?

And fun little bonus;

While I could not imagine Ruiz in the position of the Dream Guardian in this iteration, when I first started playing the game I had tossed the idea around in my head that Tobias would have been better to have been my TAV. So-

I do not think Tobias would be on the DG's side, especially if it took the form of Ruiz because the illusion would not have worked in the first place!

Anyway, It was interesting to see the Dream Guardian in its original incarnation, however I'm glad they went with the current one we have now because Idk, it kind of made me... nauseous? Like I didn't like it, it made me uncomfortable lmao. Maybe because of the vast contrast, but I could not see myself even entertaining using the tadpoles or using the ilithid powers.

Also because the first interaction you have, If that had happen my first place through as Ruiz I would have been such a hater lmao. Like would have been cheering for Ruiz to murder it somehow lol.

Very much: ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Week 28/52: July 10th- July 16th 2023 | Xiaolongkan 🍄

Reunited with Esther for hot pot lunch hehehe ^_^ it was so funny because I was walking behind this random person on my way there on the street and then Esther went up to them because she thought that person was me HAHAHAHA help??? XLK was decent as usual but I kept ordering tripe but they kept not coming and they didn't even tell me they don't have it :-( kind of sad. And then they kept giving us food that we didn't order??? Anyway I never think it's worth it for me to do AYCE but XLK is so expensive usually anyways so either way I save money I guess LOLS.

Having lost my cat, my uncle, my great grandmother, my grandma's best friend (& one of the people who helped raise me), AND my dad all within the span of 9 months,

I have little sympathy for people who use deaths as an excuse to be an asshole. I get it, it sucks. Get the fuck over it. Your grief is not an excuse to treat others like shit. What the fuck.

It's pretty annoying having to scan basically every artist for i/cest shit in any media that has siblings because most of them hide it on alt accounts/platforms/sly tags and that's a big reason why I'm too burnt out on reblogging art

i can def relate to having an abusive mother, the worst part is that people always assume mothers to be good people. thankfully my dad and mother don't live together so i chose to stay with my dad permanently but my dad's girlfriend is constantly talking about how i should make up with my mother because "you only get one mom" and she completely ignores me when i try to talk about how abusive my mother was

yeah. ugh. sorry about your situation anon. it sucks and im sending sympathies
