[fluffypotatey]

i can be so normal about sharpwolf

don’t look at my tags

[mirror-to-the-past]

Keeping my saltyness out of the tags outside of spoiler tagging so I don't rain on other people's parades, but oooogh the new Sonic movie did not meet my tentative expectations. That was a Jim Carrey dick stroking fest to an uncomfortable degree. Really didn't want Gerald's character to be done by him for a reason. The lack of attention on Shadow despite it being the Shadow movie was so frustrating, summarized perfectly by Shadow's final scene still being overshadowed by Carrey. I don't think Maria even got the fact that she was disabled mentioned whatsoever? Very strange. I had fun, had some laughs, enjoyed with fellow longtime Sonic dorks that were just as excited to see it as me, but we all went out disappointed. :/

Sometimes I just think about Soi Fon. Like that shit was so insane. Easily one of The characters of all time. You’re going to give me a woman who hates the physical manifestation of her soul because it’s loud and explosive and she doesn’t think it’s “proper” that it suits her, but it’s so obvious it does because she’s angry and stubborn and loud and explosive!!! And then the fact that she never ever calls upon that physical manifestation of her soul until things are so dire it’s practically that or death? The fact that in so many ways she lets her emotions build and build and build until they quite literally explode???? And then!!! AND THEN!!!! Add in that she hates her bankai because it’s “inappropriate” for an assassin… for her role as captain of the Stealth Force… the position she inherited from Yoruichi after she abandoned Soul Society for Urahara… She despises the physical manifestation of her explosive nature, the nature she hides until she can’t, just like she shoved down her feelings for Yoruichi, the betrayal, the hurt, the love, until she quite literally couldn’t anymore and it all came back up in a BANG!!! Like god… oh my god, no one will ever do it again and kubo did not deserve such a cool fucking character in the least

"what do those lines in centuries have to do with each other" it's basically saying "i'll last/be remembered forever, you'll be gone in an instant." like "i am the opposite of amnesia" is just another way of saying the "you will remember me for centuries" idea from the chorus. whereas the cherry blossom line is basically exactly what it says - cherry blossoms are beautiful, but they wither and fall off within like a week

no i understand the idea, like. lmao. i have a phd in popular music studies. i know how to analyze a text. i'm saying it's stupid. it's bad writing. fob will pack a dozen images into a single verse and they don't cohere. "well maybe the one-time mention of cherry blossoms basically in passing is itself a referent to the temporal nature of cherry blossoms and the addressee" you're giving pete wentz too much credit. "centuries" is the radio single off american beauty/american psycho we don't have to defend these half-assed lyrics.

anyways. my very first attempt at malenia

[adri-atics]

Was anybody going to tell me last 200 pages of The Great Hunt were absolutely life-changing incredible or was I supposed to find that out by losing my shit on a plane myself?

[chaos0pikachu]

I watch playboyy for the plot but also the tiddies

[scourgebff]

sometimes i wonder if the recent warriors books are bad just because i’m older and more experienced now compared to childhood but after rereading into the wild and all earlier super editions recently nah, the writing has quite literally gotten exponentially worse to the point of a near total deterioration in quality ⚰️

I guess ultimately, my issue with the way some people emphasize that the Jedi code works and that the Jedi were doing really good and that they really didn't fail Anakin in any way (or at least not any way that can really lie in their fault), and the way the Order does things in the Prequels era is excellent and good overall is that -

In the Prequels, the Republic is broken. Republics don't collapse out of nowhere. Institutions don't just implode like the Republic's did for no reason. The Republic's fall was the result of generations of complacency, corruption, stultification, ossification, cutting short term deals, overreach, underaction - there's a reason so many people were onboard with the idea of an Empire at first, and it wasn't all just bribery, xenophobia and fear.

And I guess - I just can't accept that the Jedi were just humming along fine this whole time, without also turning inward too much, without also ossifying and becoming complacent. Because the Jedi were too bound up with the Republic for that to not be the case.

There is truly nothing more exhilarating than rereading old fic notes and going "DAMN this is good."

(That, and also laughing out loud at your own jokes.)

[euphoricfilter]

why can’t i ever like stuff a normal amount. it’s either there is no interest or i’m intensely obsessed where whatever it is becomes my entire life and the only thing i can think about 🧍🏻‍♀️
