the jasmine throne is amazing. the two main characters are: a woman so deeply committed to being kind that she's worried about losing more of her humanity with the more power she gains and This Cunt.

.SUMMONING MISCHIEF, OR PERHAPS THE OTHER WAY ROUND?

the knightley-davenport commentary is full of good lines but the ones that get stuck in my head are

"i've just said i'd marry you, you could at least smile!" "i'm a man of action. i'm a man of danger. i'm in a dangerous and action-laden situation,"

"you had to have a stunt girl run up some STAIRS?!" "excuse you. yes i'm extremely lazy"

Loser Can't Drink Alcohol Match highlights from Ring of Honor's Michael Bennett's Bachelor Party, Hosted By Adam Cole, 10/09/2014

[as @coquinaclutch and @mobiblackout can attest, this entire event is extremely unhinged - the commentary alone...]

Roxas: Had the Halloween town kids throw bombs in his face for multiple missions in a row before finally breaking down and smacking them around a bit.

Ventus: The dwarves were rude and refused to talk to him, immediately resorted to chasing them down and whacking them.

Characterization I see frequently: Ah, yes, Roxas is the one always willing to throw hands and Ventus is a smol sunshine boy.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) dir. Wes Ball. 7.8/10

I would recommend this movie to my friends. I would rewatch this movie.

Soona is a lovely name. Wow the name Anaya like the vine. Apes training birds are so cool. I'm glad dad got a proper burial. Damn at Caesar's impact. Raka is lovely, offering to teach and down to travel. Tell me his past. The hello echo from Anaya was cute. I care about mother, take care of mother.

lol at our gasp when Mae spoke a sentence for the first time. My gasp at seeing the apes under the bridge. Lol Hwasa pls.

Raka nooo. I'm horrified every time a bonobo pounds a chimpanzee.

I wonder if Noa is related to Caesar. This movie really exudes Kevin's quote, "Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick." After all these generations with current humans, I wonder how much the ocean has changed. Is it better in there?

Pang Tong is here! Yay! I loved how he tested everyone. When Zijing thought he could snatch him away from Kongming, he ended up leaving them anyway.

He wasn't easy on Liu Bei either but the power of his Big Brown Eyes™ won in the end.

I would love to see Cao Cao's reaction to this

Cao Cao: I gifted my best horse to Guan Yu yet he left anyway:( And you? Pang Tong didn't even want yours yet he joined you, what's your secret to recruit a talent this easily??

Liu Bei: crying does the job usually

I loved the moment when Liu Bei introduced Pang Tong to Kongming, like, Look who I found! :) Little did he know, the geniuses all know each other here

I adored the knowing look they gave each other when Pang Tong mentioned he wanted to take a look at the map of Riverlands and Kongming's eyes practically sparkled, like, this is our person :)

My quote of the week that filled my girlfriend with Rage:

"Destiny is just Kingdom Hearts for Halo fans."

[storm-driver]

i was trying to describe kingdom hearts to a friend who doesnt like the square enix catalogue that much. and it was a calm discussion, we were chill. but they asked me a question that really made me like... think about my adoration for kh.

they asked me "is it the game you love or the potential of it all?"

i think the obvious answer is a mixture of both. i enjoy kingdom hearts for what it is, flaws and all. the funny gameplay moments of BBS to the wild af lines that they say in DDD.

kh has a glimmer that few games in the current market can give to their active playerbase. nothing in the titles feel soulless or half-baked. these games go ALL OUT with their premise and they deliver 9/10 times. there's moments that make me sigh and shrug, but they're few and far between. the stuff that encapsulated me is still here and it's strung across the christmas tree in a blindingly beautiful glare.

but that being said, how much of my love for kh actually stems from what i wish it could become? i can't argue that the games are flawless and have given me exactly what i wanted. in denial of the blatant only paints you as ignorant. and sometimes, these games fall right back into bad habits. with either gameplay or story, there's rightful criticisms to be spoken of every title.

so, it's only natural for me to think of the potential it all has, yes? to see what was perhaps poor writing choices eventually meet a satisfying end? or maybe a character who i didn't think much about is given new story to play with? perhaps there's a system from previous games that gets refined and optimized for newer consoles.

maybe there's routes the story could take and drives of motivation that im sychronous with and would love to see written out. there's a story unveiling and i have my own theories about it. i wanna see if the writers go down these roads and what kind of choices they make.

then my friend asked.

"is that potential, or are those your expectations?"

and i had to sit there for a moment. and just...think.
