it's funny when people are trying to put pete down by insulting his bass skills or whatever and they're like "he didn't even write fob's most iconic bassline!!!" (which I'm assuming is dance dance ig idk) and it's like. buddy, pal, friendofmine. sibling dearest. I'll do you one better: I can't name a bassline he has written.

great news! it doesn't matter. I'm not suggesting he's a good bassist either, because I've never really seen anything that really supports that idea. but he's not in the band to be the world's best bass player. it's a means to an end. he's a fantastic lyricist, he's a good frontman, and the three other members of fob wouldn't want to be in the band without him. I think that's all you could ever truly ask of him. nice try though

other people have already said it but it’s really soooo lame how Flat elgar’nan and ghilan’nain are. especially when you compare them to solas and mythal. elgar’nan was literally mythal’s husband, they had children together, surely he wasn’t just pure evil the entire time? why don’t we get to see any of their regrets in the literal regret prison that was originally intended for them? (because theyre just evil, of course!) why couldn’t what happened with the titans have been an unintended tragedy born from them just desiring bodies, unknowing that it would hurt and anger the titans, with those consequences spiraling into a brutal and bloody war between them… and then we could have actually seen more of what happened during this war, the impact it had on the titans and dwarves, and the desperation to end it that led to the death of the titans and solas’s regret and the eventual twisting of the evanuris into godhood… but nah. they’re just pure evil.

And some days, I just wish you wouldn't look at me at all.

I am so glad that the kid spectrals have such normal and caring spirits who will definitely not physically endanger and/or cruelly betray them in the midst of their lives already being destroyed by cults, monsters, and interpersonal drama. It’s so cool and nice 👍

re: jess' tiktok

this post got a bit long so im cutting it for space but tl;dr i talk about how jess explaining her relationship with jason doesn't exactly paint aarmau in a better light and in fact makes it worse.

okay so everyone and their mother has seen jess' tiktok at this point. i made a brief video talking about it.

the video was basically me saying to leave jess alone about stuff in the past, especially regarding her real life relationship. i also apologized for believing the rumors with no proof.

but i wanted to come on here and talk about the ramifications of presenting her irl relationship dynamic with aarmau in specifically PDH and Mystreet.

aaron knew about aphmau's age from the beginning. he knew that he was older than 14 y/o aphmau and he knew that shu was significantly younger than him because she talked about her first day of high school openly with him.

aaron was presented as the better option. the savior. the knight in shining armor. he was mature and older than aphmau's of-age peers. he was always the person that aphmau could cry to and her escape.

in mcd that wasn't a problem because aphmau was an adult. but aphmau was a child in PDH, any way you swing it. i think PDH feels even grosser to me considering how they upped aphmau's innocence and naivety, making her appear even MORE childlike and wholesome.

because, like, jess. you weren't 15 when you wrote PDH, babe. if you knew it was wrong in real life why on EARTH would you put it in your fiction. if you as a grown ass adult knew that what you did as a child was wrong, why would you go on and GLORIFY IT in PDH and mystreet!

because no one calls out aarmau aside from sylvanna who is potrayed as a "psycho helicopter parent who doesn't really care about her kids happiness" when (in this specific case) she was RIGHT to be worried about aaron!

there's a difference between bringing awareness to a certain topic and fetishizing or glorifying it and that's what jess did. she potrayed an unhealthy relationship dynamic with a huge power imbalance and was like "yes, young teenage girls, this is what you should look for in a partner! this is the type of man you want in your life"

and tbh with the context we now have, it kind of makes her look worse because if you as an adult knew this was wrong and you feel guilty for it that is fine. but what isn't okay is knowing this shit is wrong and still writing it like it's perfectly okay!!!

bare in mind: i am not shaming jess for what goes on in her irl relationship.

im just confused and concerned because im trying to sit with this thought process in my head and it does NOT make sense because this situation was so easily avoidable.

literally just make aaron in the same age group as garroth and laurence. theyre only older than aphmau by a year! hell make aaron a freshman too for all i fucking care just not a SUPER SENIOR who is about to go to GODDAMN COLLEGE and who is literally old enough to pay TAXES.

you could've even not had aaron in PDH at all and have them meet in mystreet if you still wanted aarmau to parallel your in real life age gap.

anything. anything at all would've been better than what jess did

you ever scroll past some sort of discourse that you didn't even know existed, and you have to take a second and realize that, while none of us are superior to others, some of us ARE much better at choosing which dumbass hills to die on? because I think sometimes you deserve to go 'huh. at least I'm not getting involved in all that'.

"My analysis is predicated on a distinction between the medieval concepts of authority, defined as the legitimate right to act, and of power, the ability to impose one’s will on others. By the High Middle Ages, inherited authority was associated with a fief, granting individuals the right to rule in a certain region according to certain prescribed regulations. While authority typically implies a chain of command, power, a more elusive quality, is defined abstractly as the ‘‘ability to act effectively on persons or things, to make or secure favorable decisions which are not of right allocated to the individuals or their roles.’’ According to this definition, power is much more elusive, based on personal effectiveness and influence rather than on sanctioned right to command. This distinction clearly operated in the Middle Ages, where the two concepts were related but not synonymous. Authority was associated with hereditary [or granted] titles and offices. However, while the possession of authority legitimated one’s actions, it did not guarantee their effectiveness. Conversely, while individuals who lacked authority could impose their will on others by force or influence, their actions would not have been considered legitimate. Although they are often used interchangeably by modern authors, authority and power referred to distinct attributes in the Middle Ages."

i think a lot of people have never been in a truly desperate situation but think they have, and this causes them to pass really harsh judgment on people who made bad choices when either irrational or having no good choices to pick instead, and i really wish people could get some fucking self-perception and work on their compassion skills and not fucking do that as much anymore

Never shared my brain rot of why watching G dubbed is so funny not for the fact the dub is super fucking corny at times yet it adds to the show rather then ruining it-and also when it’s not corny, it’s still a pretty decent dub-but how Domon is X and Master Asia is Sigma and their dynamics unironically parallel each other that making a mmx g Gundam AU wouldn’t be too far off ESP if you just made domons brother Zero given “ehehe devil Gundam corrupting people just like the maverick virus”- if not for the fact I cannot see X as a straight man 💀
