#like very especially disappointing here

[crunchycrystals]

ok this episode's actually decent just like in my head it's definitely worse than the book especially when compared to how much i liked the changes in the other episodes

You know, after playing for a while, I've got to say that, in my opinion, Veilguard is a good, fun game and I've been having a blast with it. Some legitimate criticism could and should be made towards Veilguard, yes. And those things are not mutually exclusive. But considering the current internet environment, I'd worry to be piled up with the howling maniacs that act like the game somehow killed their dog, stole their family jewels, and burned down their house with its writing alone (because the previous games were all absolutely perfect, apparently), or with the "anti-woke" brigade who get their panties into twist over every little bit of diversity in the game, spending their free time trying to review bomb the game everywhere despite not having tried it, and who sound like they want most of us dead, so... If I look like I'm just having some carefree fun here, trying not to think about this shit, it's because I am.

While I don't mind the "poor reading comprehension" jokes and there is something to be said about the reading comprehension overall dropping. I really dislike how it also became almost like an insult. I think an unintended side effect of "people on tumblr/the Internet have poor reading comprehension"/"piss on the poor" jokes is it emboldened some people to just be casually ableist and mock people with learning and intellectual disabilities.

I know the vast majority of these statements are either made as a joke or aren't ableist at all. But some of ya sound like you're one step away from mocking somebody for being "slow" and dropping the r slur.

One day I'm going to finish my FFXVI mega essay, but for now I think my thoughts on the game can be summarized like this:

When making FFXVI, the developers sure knew what they wanted to do, and by god were they going to do it.

Were they also going to do other things that would make those first thing better? Were they going to do other things that make a good game overall? Ehhhhh...they were going to do what they wanted to do, and invest all their time and effort into that, so surely that would be enough! Surely!

[pygmy--tyrant]

I am not and have never been a gamer but the more I hear about hades the more it sounds like it was created just to try and tempt me into the gaming world. everything I could have wanted from a game right down to the apparently well researched mythology is there. unfortunately my non-gamer identity is more than just a choice and I am genuinely just shit at it from zero practice otherwise I would have probably bought it by now

do you ever see something that makes you so incredibly angry you have to turn off your phone for a bit

[strangetorpedos]

grrr i know i complained about this yesterday but i’m really fucking upset that i won’t get to spend new year’s eve w my friends and gf bc i’ll still be needing to mask & quarantine like it was gonna be sm fun and maybe it’s stupid but i was also really looking forward to my first new years kiss :( whatever i’ll get over it i guess

[mariusvonhangme]

My oh my would you look at the time! It's rant o'clock!

So to celebrate two years with tears of Themis I thought wow maybe it's time I read cards/personal stories for the other three guys in the game. I read Luke's route (so like 4 ps episodes + 1st and 2nd anniv cards) and obviously Marius' and I thought okay vyn time.

Other than what we saw in events and main story I didn't know much about vyn especially in a more openly romantic sense and honestly now that I do to some degree I'm not sure how to feel about him exactly? To be honest I felt a little weird about how "planned" their relationship was from vyns point of view. And I don't mean how he planned like the confession of course, I mean how he saw Rosa falling in love with him before she was ever aware and how it was all part of his plan. He's a perfectionist we know that very well but I don't think I like how things went perfectly the way he wanted for the most part save for some minor details that in the grand scheme of things make no difference at all. I think it would've been more interesting if vyn lost control and like Rosa showed him that things don't always have to go the way he expects and things end up all good and stuff. Honestly that detail doesn't matter as long as vyn had the chance to not feel in control for more than a few seconds. I don't know if this happens later on in other cards or not cause again I didn't read them but honestly I don't think it would matter much. Vyn got the most important thing with little to no set back (and no, the whole fiasco that happened in the theater does not count it didn't act as a set back to their relationship at all in fact it did the exact opposite). The story was nice I did enjoy it but I really hoped for more sort of character development for vyn.

Regardless that did not stop me from blushing and smiling like an idiot over the almost sickeningly sweet confession. Vyn sure knows how to be extra huh. It was so so cute and oh dear for how smart she is Rosa sure can be a bit dense at times but honestly it just makes her cuter. And Rosa kissing him first???? Okay I see you Rosa.

I haven't read his proposal card yet cause I kinda want to read all the proposal cards together to like get in the mood or whatever LMAO. so yeah next up artems personal story + first anniversary card and I'm hoping for lots and lots of fluff and cuteness plus of course classic tot murder and drama

[bangtide]

don’t want to be so negative but i really did think this was the one time we’ll get the yoonmin subunit with the amount they were pushing for even more so in recent times, i know how they feel about each other but hard to believe if we’ll ever get it at this point :(

follow up and seeing so many yoonmin authors be so negative saying they knew it would never happen or that’s why they didn’t get their hopes up just seems so sad to me but also a little diminishing of the rest of yoongis album like we can be sad no yoonmin subunit of course but hopefully it’ll happen come on

last thing cause it collectively seems like every yoonminer I’ve seen give up and say they are content with no subunit at this point as they really have been talking about it so much the time was now, im somewhat inclined to agree but i don’t know it’s a little sad, maybe at best there’ll be a jimin prod suga if that

last last last thing i promise many seeming genuinely upset at being yoonmin baited lol just the concept is somewhat funny as baited

...what? people are actively upset and bitter that jimin didn't feature on yoongi's album? they don't think it will even happen??

"the time is now" my ass. that's not up to us to decide. it's their song??

not necessarily implicating you, anon, but the blatant disregard of everything yoongi & jimin have ever shared about this confounds me. they've maintained their interest in working on music with each other for longer than bangtan has been a band. they talked about it as recently as this month. it's yoongi we're talking about. they'll do it when they're ready???

do people not put together that these are independent projects? jimin said with his mouth that he was going to put yoongi on face, but decided it wasn't the right album for it?

not to mention how jimin was in a severe self-destructive spiral centering addiction behavior & is clearly still recovering & how that may affect yoongi's willingness to approach him, esp for even more work (given how toxic jm's r/s with work gets).

+ "ship baiting" lol. i saw a tweet by a popular acc expressing confusion abt why yoonmin have been doing so much lately if there's no song which just. gobsmacked me.

not like close friends....do stuff together & talk abt e/o or anything. or their albums are releasing in similar time frames, so they're taking advantage. ???????

anyw. i find all of this indescribably weird, as i do 99% of stan twt. hence my distance from it there. people only seem to care about this song's fandom/personal symbolism and not it's actual relevance to yoongi & jimin.

[somelazyassartist]

Hard to remember I exist sometimes and it feels like a lot of other people forget too and I don't really know how to feel about that right now
