#it makes me so crazy i swear to god

[beaft]

why are ai assistant chatbots now being universally implemented when they are all so utterly fucking useless. every conversation i have ever had with one has gone like this

me: (requests help with a specific issue)

chatbot: Great! Have you tried any of the resources on our website? (sends me a link to the help page)

me: that was actually the first thing i looked at and it didn't answer my question

chatbot: Aww, I'm sorry those resources didn't help! Would you like to speak with someone from our customer service team?

me: yeah, please, that would be great

(10 minutes of buffering time)

chatbot: It looks like none of our agents are available right now. Sorry about that! Please try again later, and in the meantime, feel free to check out some of our other resources :) (sends me the help page again)

does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship

thinking once again about how the iliad starts with bloodshed and violence and ends with an act of hope, and how the aeneid starts with an act of hope and ends with bloodshed and violence…. thinking about how achilles starts that story blind with pointless rage in some place he doesn’t give a fuck about and ends it with his gentle hands on someone’s father, and how aeneas starts his story with his gentle hands holding up his father and ends it drenched in blood in some place he doesn’t give a fuck about

the thing about john smith in disney's pocahontas is that the people around him only really know him by reputation. like, thomas even says right out the gate that there's 'amazing stories' about him that even a lil guy like tom coming in green would have heard. and, like, john is aware of this. he's painfully aware of it. he doesn't go up the gangplank like everybody else, he hops on a cannon getting loaded and swoops up over the crew like the film is physically establishing right away for us this mental and social separation between smith and everyone else. and maybe part of it is having to be In Charge of the crew, so he has to be friendly but distant to be effective as a leader, or maybe he just really doesn't relate much to the others.

whatever the case may be interally, the outward action is that captain john smith will sometimes openly acknowledge the disparity and then brush right by it again, as if to say: 'i know you all admire and even like the idea of Captain John Smith, but we both know he's not actually me.'

like, he saves thomas's life and his hat, then answers the praise he gets with 'of course, you'd all do the same for me' said in such a pointed way that it can't be anything other than a chastisement of his own position.

and he doesn't initiate conversation or banter with the crew. he only ever talks to thomas regularly because thomas is constantly trying to talk to him. all the rest of his interactions with the other settlers are him maintaining a somewhat aloof yet amiable persona who does what he's supposed to until he can get away and do what he really wants to do, which is run around in the woods and breathe life in.

fuckin the first being he talks to in this film of his own volition, in a non-official capacity, is MEEKO (or possibly percy, if you count his quick 'hi-ya, see-ya' from earlier). but like, he has a whole-ass conversation with meeko the racoon.

i'm also thinking about how, following the colors of the wind segment, when thomas asks john why he's been 'awfully quiet the last few days,' john doesn't answer. lon answers: 'he's just mad he missed out on all the action!' his reputation answers for him and he balks at it bc 'oh my god that is what i'm known for, isn't it?' and so, almost immediately, he fucks off to find pocahontas again bc that's such a distressing thing for him to be confronted with now that he knows better that he needs to be around someone who doesn't see his reputation as him. someone who only knows him as himself, and, therefore, probably more completely than anyone else in his life until that point. someone he's maybe possibly wanting to know completely right back.

ok but im getting emo over heinkel again so im gonna talk about him again because yeah hes yet another sad character in a sea of sad characters and i love rezero for that but like he is a character consistently characterized by one loss after the other. it's a rollercoaster and its going straight fucking down and he is so miserable and absolutely alone and its both his fault and not his fault at all. but the way it starts is - its all out of his control. the more you think about the trajectory of his life the sadder it gets.

imagine you are heinkel and your parents are the sword saint and the sword demon and you come from a long line of knights and sword saints so thats almost definitely where youre headed, right? thats whats expected of you. you are nineteen years old and youre a knight in the royal guard, which was expected of you, and you have a wife and a beautiful baby boy, which was also expected of you, but at least you have so much joy and love for the latter while the former is just another chain on the astrea family line of people who are stuck to knighthood whether they like it or not. but your family is also just another chain because youre nineteen and your mother is still the sword saint and youre playing with fate here because either youre going to be the sword saint or your son will be.

your wife, the only equal you have, falls asleep one day and never wakes up. you are twenty-one years old and a single parent and then you are twenty-three years old and your son's fate is so much bigger than youll ever be. having the worlds love means that your love pales in comparison, doesnt it? everyone knows about your comatose wife because you keep searching so much for a cure that its just another thing to gossip about. every year that passes by she just continues to look the same as she did when she was awake and alive and loved you. (you dont know it yet but your son is going to reach the same age as her, because you dont find a cure for another sixteen years and you know that she wont love you anymore because who does? theres no one left because your son doesnt count.)

and everyone knows about you because of your family. because yeah, youre a good swordsman, but youre not liked by anyone in the knights. youre not a friend and youre certainly not a sword saint or sword demon. your son mind controls someone because he loves you so much that he would do anything for you and looks up to you like youre some hero, but youre just a wreck whos scrambling to keep what little you have. youre twenty-four and you lose your mom because you were too scared to go on the mission you were assigned on, because youre a coward and youre in over your head and you know, because everyone knows, that you dont measure up. you could never be prepared for this. in a long line of people who have to carry the weight of the world, you crumble easily. your mom goes on that mission and dies and your son becomes the sword saint like this was always going to happen. this is what being loved by the world means. you just killed your mom because you just couldnt suck it up and die on that mission instead. on top of that, your dad says that your five-year-old god of a son killed your mom. its just you and your son and the two of you both killed your mom but youre the worlds biggest laughing stock and your son is the up and coming hero and monster. but you still love your son. you really do.

right?
