ep 43 had me tearing up in a fucking shopping centre ‼️‼️

b+w alt version that I truly couldn't decide if I liked it more . Also I included a lot of thoughts in the tags but they're somewhat incoherent<3

#i dont know what i expected but i was waiting for a friend and too excited to wait until later #malevolent podcast #john doe #john doe malevolent #john malevolent #malevolent fanart #grimm art #ep 43 #ep 43 left me with a lot of thoughts ... i didnt quite like how much of a recap it felt like at times but that might #be because ive been relistening and like yeah everyone knows that john 🙄 but that's not the case for everyone and with monthly uploads #things get forgotten easily #i find the discussion of “humanity” so interesting because John has shown that without someone that he has forcibly grown to value as an #equal... something he cannot do as the king of yellow as he is superior to all of his realm and presumably stays out of other elder god's #anyway. without that equality and enviroment to grow he fails to reach his goal of compassion and falls onto old ways.#John. The King in Yellow. shown by both times each has found themselves in human form do not just crave power and influence!!!#THEY CRAVE COMMUNITY!!! an endrich being not born or raised with nothing but power and ego #CRAVES COMMUNITY.#His goal of “humanity” is not a selfless goal like John projects - it is ultimately somewhat selfish as he does not want to be alone!!#which makes this desire so much more human #i don't know maybe this is just me spelling out whats already there but the way john and the witch argued about humanity frustrated me #it felt like they were missing the point or that perhaps the “good/evil” “black/white” retoric was already realised by me and john needed #realise it himself . which is fair !!!#i dont know!!!!#the witch was talking about how bad everyone was and how humanity is cruel and john was talking about Lily (#who also frustrates me how shes used in the plot somewhat she was literally just a nurse doing her job bro #) but to John - yes internally he is struggling with his moral greyness and im so proud of him for growing being himself SO PROUD #JUST.!!! he wants community. he needs community. he loves his friend. 'humanity' at its core does not matter as long as you try to be bette #and i think thats awesome and i really enjoyed the episode #guhh im rambling enjoy my tag rambling i dont know i want john to have more friends :(#yorrick can be another friend godd i love you yorrick so silly

#so anyway i’m on a train and this is my quick recap #of what i’ve been up to the last year #firstly i found out i have adhd because i was so burnt out and anxious i was sent to the hospital with a suspected heart attack lol #which they’re currently looking into to see if i have any heart problems or just anxiety 24/7 🙃#either way it’s been a great explanation for why i find everything so difficult everyday when i didn’t even know i was finding it hard 😐#my mum also almost died which was very much not fun and a little traumatising #i also can’t remember if i mentioned this before i disappeared (i must have) but i bought my own flat here in london which was my lifes goal #and i’ve spent the last like 8 months renovating to my own taste #it’s been a crazy and overwhelming experience doing all #of this by myself #but nether the less she persisted !!!!#and i’m finally in!!!#living alone? would highly recommend #and lastly this genocide has broken my heart completely and disrupted my ability to enjoy a lot of things and was why i wouldn’t bring #myself to come on here and talk about things that really didn’t matter in comparison #i have a friend directly effected and i feel v personally effected as someone who is west asian/muslim #so yeah it’s been difficult #and then the liam news hit me like a truck #it’s just been a Time #and the months slipped away from me like water #the only good thing that’s happened i guess is that i discovered sleep token this year and they immediately became my favourite band #i’m seeing them next month and have had them on repeat non stop #so apologies in advance for turning into a sleep token blog lol

it is absolutely wild the way i’ve allowed people to treat me

#every year i write an end of year recap i’ve been doing it since 2019 #this year So much happened but one of the big things was breaking up with my ex #and it genuinely blows my mind how badly i was treated and the fact i stayed as long as i did #year and a half of clownery when i knew after 4 months i’d been sold a lie 😭#i feel so bad for past me because girlie you didnt deserve that!! nobody does!!!#it’s helped me sm in my current relationship because i know what it’s like to be the collateral for someone’s self hatred #it’s motivated me to heal and develop self esteem so i dont do that to my wonderful partner #they have really shown me what love is and let me tell you! it’s nothing i experienced with my ex!#mind blowing mind boggling i am never letting Anyone treat me that appallingly ever again #literally crazy i wish her a lot of healing and growth cos goddamn how are you terrified of being a bad person yet treat people like you #treated me. no wayyyy no way #i so believe in that thing of what people are most scared of they’re most likely to do #goddamn! 2023 man. wild time #valentina talks #i definitely made many a mistake which is why im not really like. Angry at her because i understand and i’ve had to change a lot and grow a #lot too. i think everyone just is perpetually making mistakes and growing and that’s okay. but it doesn’t mean the people you hurt need to #forgive you or think your actions were okay #just yeesh. i’m glad it’s over and i moved on

hm. something slightly uncomfortable about totk's hyrule origin story huh.

#'hyrule was founded by a benevolent race who were in possession of a GOD-LIKE POWER that they only used to protect the people who were #obviously inferior to them (also these people werent native to the land. just a little note there) and kept them safe provided they #SWORE FEALTY to their new benevolent masters- i mean allies and everyone did except the EVIL GERUDO who found their GOD-LIKE BENEVOLENCE #QUESTIONABLE and REFUSED TO SWEAR FEALTY and also they were so evil that their king's evilness was visible to the eye and turns out it #was because he coveted their GODLIKE POWER for EVIL and not because he wanted to use it to help his people who were suddenly being #pressured into subjugation or anything like that dont worry it was purely Evil Purposes because he turned on his own people right after he #got it 👍'#me SEAn: ..................... huh. interesting.#WHKSHDSKBS it's just a little. you know. it's a little. nvm.#freya talks loz #so it kind of is confirmed that at least at the beginning the other races were sort of below hyrule in a sense. they werent allies as much #as vassal states. i only know zelda's side of the story rn havent reached what's going on with link yet so maybe that gets covered. whether #they're still under hyrule or not in the present i mean #im also listening to a guy recap it rather than go through all the cutscenes and playthroughs myself so it could just be how hes explaining #things but. it is a little weird right. am i the only one who finds it weird.#also plot peeve but why did ganon not just kill zelda when he did sonia. she had a stone too. he could have had two stones. he just laughed #like sir.

I know Quackity said "Don't stress if you can't watch every single POV and if you don't know all the lore" and all that, but it genuinely frustrates me so much that I cannot, realistically, know every single detail of the QSMP storyline. Even trying to just focus on the "main" story isn't possible since so many people are doing things tied to it, and so many unexpected things happen.

I don't really have a point to make with this post, I'm just venting my frustrations. I like knowing complete stories and knowing I can't do that with QSMP frustrates me so much.

#i talk #qsmp talk #I also dont like that it takes 4+ hours to get 30m worth of the story #I'm realizing more and more that I'm just not cut out for long-form SMP storytelling through streaming #I've been under a lot of stress lately and I was watching stream to kinda take my mind off things #and realizing I've missed so much just kinda pushed that frustration over the edge a bit #I'm not actually a huge fan of the twitter updates and the ''summary of today'' thing the update accounts do #it's not that it's not helpful— it just doesnt mesh with my ability to absorb info #by which I mean reading twitter threads to catch up on lore makes me feel like I'm dying #I like the lore recap video they posted recently and I'd love to see more of that #especially since it's short and easy to digest #but it still leaves a lot out #idk like I said there's no real point to this post I'm just very frustrated #both in general and in terms of story consumption #(for the record: this is just a me problem and I'm not about to start demanding the server change or anything)#I just need to start consuming more short contained stories I think #just a bit stuck on QSMP because the dtory is really interesting to me #I also think I need to drop the archive it eats up too much time and energy #as helpful as it is for my own records and others' its just not realistic #especially with all the new people who are being added #a few of whom I just straight up dont plan on watching

I forget but does Nine speak fluent Spanish or just the simple terms ?

// nine knows some conversational spanish and some buzzwords, but not nearly enough to be fluent (truth be told he is pretty bad at it and will rarely be able to speak spanish without substituting half the words for english ones)

his mom was colombian and he’s always been a mamas boy so anything he learned language wise was taken from her, he was never formally taught grammar or pronunciation rules

tl;dr - nine knows conversational spanish he is just bad at it

#mun asks #nine lore recap….#any spanish he knows is pretty much just things his mom would say to him and talk to him about #he has a very very hard time understanding different spanish dialects so if you try to talk to him there is a 7/10 chance he’ll b confused

Btw if anyone else has been wanting to watch an Elden Ring playthrough and happens to have a brain that works like mine I would really recommend LPDarkSoulsHD's in-depth playthrough. When I play games I tend to be extremely thorough to the point that it would annoy my brother to watch me play when we would take turns on games growing up bc I would investigate every area of the map and pick up every item and read every piece of text that I found. This guy has already played the game once before and he's just as thorough (+ seems to have absurd memory) so now he knows where to find every good item and which things will be interesting to read and he does all of this efficiently without leaving anything out. I also wanted a playthrough that would go into all of the lore and character quests and he definitely does that, plus he points out which things will be important to remember later and helps viewers make connections between different pieces of info we may have forgotten, all without spoiling anything. He also explains what he's doing every time he fights to help other people learn how to face each enemy more easily but as someone who doesn't plan on playing the game myself it's just really satisfying to understand what he's doing so I can see how much skill it takes for him to make such a difficult fight look so easy. When I first found the playlist I was worried I wouldn't be able to sit through all of the videos bc he doesn't edit anything out so they're all like an hour long and I have a v short attention span when it comes to movies and etc, but it turns out the way he plays the game makes his playthroughs scratch a very similar itch to actually playing videogames myself for me. I'm on my 8th episode rn after just finding his channel yesterday and I frequently find myself looking for my controller when I come back after a break before I remember that I'm not in fact playing Elden Ring lol

#rambling #he also opens up the map frequently to give us a visual depiction of where he plans to go and what hes going to do each video #and then again at the end to recap everything we covered during the video #which is very helpful to me as someone who struggles with understanding directions and may not be able to tell where he was otherwise #+ likes to just generally know the plan for events im involved in ahead of time so i can know what to expect #really helps keep me involved in the experience instead of just feeling like im along for the ride and dont know whats going on #in trying to make these playthroughs as easy as possible to follow along with for people who are skipping through them for help #this guy has accidentally made the most accessible playthrough in the world for me personally to just watch for fun lol #its like catnip to me lmao. sometimes he apologizes for talking too much bc he doesnt wanna bore us #and i just wanna be like no! dont apologize. im having the time of my life here

I don't really know how to describe the feeling? FOMO somehow, maybe? I don't like it though.

It's like when there's two or three popular anime series and everyone is only talking about them and you just sit there after giving them a try like, "yeah, okay I see the appeal but... *munches on some popcorn while rewatching an anime from 10 years ago*"

I don't hate the series that this applies to. I kinda feel like maybe I just don't get it? I have felt this way even in middle school about books.

This is more about experiences outside of tumblr.

#{domino rambles after dark}#that post about how saturated each season is these days and there's no time to watch them all or enjoy them or remember them?#and you have THAT MUCH being aired throughout the year just to only see talk or hype about maybe 5 tops?#again outside of tumblr if i can easily control what i see then it doesn't count #bsd s5? only see it here #a lot of the hype this season is jjk and i get it! i enjoyed s1 and it got me actually watching anime again! but also ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌#i don't have that much interest is s2 and so somehow it's like watching out the window while everyone is having fun #am i also having fun? yes! but still...#that's my 5:30 AM two cents because i was starting to fall asleep #since i am at work falling asleep would be bad #after work i guess i'm gonna go to the stupid store and get some ingredients for ice cream #i wanna make ice cream i have a theory and want to prove it right #it's getting exhausting have to stop periodically to recap a book because i then have to remember the important plot details #when i'm distracted by my love of the character interactions and development #i worked 4 nights in a row and have somehow only read 1.5 books partially due to that #it's fun! but i also lose interest quickly that way #this is when i would like to say 'okay that's enough i'm going to sleep' but alas (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)#this is also primpted by apparently the ceo of mappa saying yuri on ice didn't bring them enough money #but simultaneously not conforming whether the movie is actually being worked on or just canned.#okay now i will shut up because i think this is a lot for the tags to handle

Also despite last post and the fact “damn my tumblr has a lot of dumb first impression opinions but I keep them up anyways” I was looking at kikaider on my search cause tags are easy to find of my post, saw one of my rants and went “let me just *press delete button*”

#meg text #there’s probably more but oh my god can me a year ago fuck off #was I kinda right in some ways? Yes. But was I being harsh? ABSOLUTELY #I feel so fucking bad I ruined this show for people like GRAAAAAAH #ITS GOOD ITS JUST NOT PEAK BUT THATS OKAY ITS NOT MID EITHER #ITS JUST FLAWED YOU CAN HAVE GOOD CONTENT THATS FLAWED #it won’t change anything but this is one of those things I’m absolutely embarrassed to talk about to people because of the past #and there’s probably more posts I need to look for and delete but depends if they popped up in the tag honestly #this is what happens when I got into something at the wrong time ifg #cause I was forcing myself to watch it and that never helps (which is why I’m being slow with literally anything rn)#cause damn! Idfk what I wanna watch!#also I’m obvs not tagging but I will say I don’t like the sequel shows as much but I’m not salty anymore #the first one is a weird sequel at worst but a good adaptation- the crossover just exists #also my “this needed to be longer” aaa comment is so fucking stupid cause it LEGIT COULDNT BE #ESPECIALLY DUE TO HOW MUCH BUDGET THEY WERE GIVEN BUT IT WOULDVE BEEN A ACTUAL SLOG IF IT WAS LONGER #the recap ep existing though will always be what killed the pacing a little but like- yeah no this needed to be 12-13 eps #people need to stop making the notion short shows can’t work it all depends and this show shows both what you should and shouldn’t do

My biggest flex is being able to repeat word for word what someone’s just said whenever they accuse me of not listening to them

#here’s the golden rule: if i don’t look like i’m listening to you; i am #if i look like i’m listening to you; i’m not. i’m too focused on trying to look like i’m listening to you #it’s so annoying actually. like i wish it was socially acceptable to stare at the wall and fidget when my boss or a job interviewer #or whoever talks to me. when i tell you i would recall EVERY WORD #one time one of my teachers asked me to repeat what she’d just said because i ‘clearly wasn’t listening’. i immediately decided to shut that #shit down and repeated not only everything she’d just said but also recapped pretty much the entire lesson up to that point #she never asked me to repeat anything again #i think this is also why i struggled so badly in online classes when i had to have my camera on. i couldn’t stare into the middle distance #i had to look alert instead. for god’s sake let me fidget myself into a trance; i will recall EVERYTHING you say #personal

the problem w watching ouat recaps/deep dives is that no one shares my exact perspective (aka the watched the show from the very beginning to an obsessive degree and also is a neal/swanfire girlie)

#teresa talks #i like hearing other people explain the show bc there’s so much that happens and it’s all insane #but i also have to spend the whole time bracing myself for their neal opinions bc he’s such a polarizing character 😂#the only solution is i am the one who should do the deep dive recap but that’s just So much 😂😂
