#like... ffs if I try to cosplay him

[logosbot-tm]

I am upset at the fact that I decided to rewatch Good Omens bc I had happily forgotten just how Crowley coded I was, and was just vibing, and now I've gotten back into Good Omens and now I'm pissed again. Who the fuck allowed me to be Crowley coded???

Why Vox needs to GET THE FUCK OVER THE RADIO DEMON:

(By Velvette, the only competent of the Vees)

(Her list for Valentino here)

1. He’s just not into you

2. We have better things to do than allocate company time to this.

3. He makes you look stupid

4a. He makes US look stupid (and Valentino already does that enough)

4b. Seriously how are we supposed to stop your boy toy from chasing whore around town when you can’t do the same with your ex? We need to set a (gag) good example for him.

5. What do you even see in him? Tacky coat. And that voice is so old-school.

6. You have two people who (reluctantly) want to work with you. Why spend energy on a guy who doesn’t?

7. This was seven years ago babe. Give it up.

8. I’m tired of finding your Alastor Body Pillow around the penthouse

9. Speaking of the body pillow, did you really have to spend 5k on it?

10. Company money should be used for COMPANY things. The fact we even have an “Alastor” budget is stupid. HE DOESNT EVEN GO HERE. ( @onesidedradiostatic )

11. He fucked off once, he probably will again.

12. Do you really want to fuck with someone who has the princess and king of Hell on his side?

13. It makes Valentino insecure about his sexual prowess, which is not good for anyone.

14. I have to LISTEN to him complain about it.

15. No matter how hard you try, nobody will ever beat “Susan” for #1 rival in that man’s heart. (Which is valid cause Susan SUCKS.)

16. Also you’re wasting company time by having Val put together shitty-Alastor look alike porns? Angel Dust does NOT look like Radio Demon ffs, I though Val was the blind one not you.

17. Your screens keep crapping out whenever you think about him, and we’re running out of ones in storage.

18a. I don’t want to keep having to go to overlord meetings for you because you’re having a breakdown over of he’ll be there or not.

18b. Speaking of breakdowns, STOP MAKING THE WHOLE CITY LOSE POWER.

19. You’ve taken over the entire office space with your Alastor-shrine. It’s not really an inconvenience, just creepy.

20a. Not to kinkshame but I walked in on you and Val fucking with Alastor-wigs on, REALLY?!

20b. Also I think you’re making Val insecure about his lack of hair.

21. STOP asking me to design Alastor-cosplay clothes for you. I don’t want anything to do with this.

22. I already have to deal with one pissbaby

23. Seriously, he isn’t into you. Maybe it’s cause you’re a mess. Maybe it’s cause he’s AROACE. Who knows.

24. You keep interrupting channels to brainwash people into hating the Radio Demon, when we should be brainwashing them into other things.

25. We can all hear you talking to yourself in the shower when trying to come up with shitty comebacks.

26. You display your dreams when you sleep, and while it was funny at first at this point it’s so boring. Val and I want to watch something actually interesting for once rather than the same shit.

27. You keep glitching out in bisexual whenever he comes up and it’s annoying waiting for you to put your shit back together again.

28. I’m sick of movie nights where we just watch your self-made compilations of “Alastor’s Epic Fails” or just watch security footage of him at the hotel.

29. Why do you even try and film him? Your shitty cameras can pick hardly anything up.

30. Honestly this whole thing is just pathetic.

31. Like it used to be cute but now?

[fisheito]

here's your accursed tier ranking

17

sex yakumos that i had to meticulously screenshot and edit into slottable little squares

4

times i redid this list (over the course of several days)

The tiers (in words):

😔👌: Unfortunately, I Am Into That Shit (☆•̀‿•́): i quite enjoy these 🤔( ͡ಠ_ಠ)🔎: some parts i like, some parts i don't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯: ehh i'd rather watch something else

i COULD rearrange these rooms over and over and over (especially the middle tiers)

but we are nOt GOing to because if i spend ANY MORE TIME sliding yaku's horny squares around i'm goign to fmkkin lose it (it being my peanuts) I could end up rambling about specific rooms at a later date..... but not today. Today we will Restrain Ourselves.

So for now, here's 1 thing about each room that i like (same order as above)!!

Crimson Phantom R5: i can be uyuor devil

Dark Nova R2: THE FOFKIN COLLAR

Ocean Breeze R2: the way he tries to keep his voice down thru his pathetic little whimpers

Fateful Aegis R2: ENSLUTTIFICATION BEGINS **NOW**

Story H scene: ok.,, but he actually stopped. when eiden said slow down. tha't's unheard of in typical yaois

Cocoa Liqueuer R5: eiden purposely chooses the wrong dialogue option at every prompt and i'm laughing so sahgrd

Cocoa Liqueuer R2: yaku's stupid blissed out face *grips my glass so hard it shatters*

Shadow Lineage R5: *adds Snake Bondage [Quantity: 999] to cart*

Incognito Cafe R5: HOLY SHIT HE OBTAINED DICK RESTRAINT

Dark Nova R5: SNAKE TRAITS SNAKE TRAITS MONSTER TRAITS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

SR R5: something about those big doe eyes staring up at eiden while pounding into him

Shadow Lineage R2: yeah sure crush me against a wall

Ocean Breeze R5: the ECHO 🤣

Fateful Aegis R5: eiden predicting yaku's AssPoundXXXL initiation sequence with the foreboding "i'm sorry"

OG SSR R2:

Crimson Phantom R2: b. bite.

OG SSR R5: eiden worrying about getting yaku's ceremonial robes dirty and yaku's response is an instant I Don't Care 😳 (tbhypothetical if i were wearing an intricate cosplay that i spent foREVER on, all handstitched and made of expensive silks and crafted by my own labour,, and i was about to fuck someone against a wall? I am DEFINITELY taking that thing off. NO ONE is getting cum on that. you will sit there in horny silence while i safely store this garment out of range of the Splash Zone. so for yakumo to have no regard for his FANCY CEREMONIAL OUTFIT? to IMMEDIATELY focus on sloppy makeouts with eiden? that either speaks to his textiles skill or all-consuming horny.)

~~~ and if, for some reason, u want to know why the lowest 3 are , well, the lowest 3:

OG SSR R2: the room itself is aight, but it is unfortunately a near copy of the story H scene. Ahhh, death by comparison. This one gets shrugged to the side simply because i like more things about its twin.

Crimson Phantom R2: yaku is not having a good time, y'all. he is not in the right headspace and his evident suffering is a boner killer. if i were ranking based on character development and lore, this one would rank higher (thank you, surprise tragic stories about yakumo's childhood), but. he's kinda fighting a losing battle against his self-hatred so can eiden give him that hug pls

OH!! and no lie-- his voice unsettled me here. i know he's playing big into the roleplay thing but that Uncharacteristic Vocal Behaviour mixed with Big Sad spiralling is uhhhhhhh . so where's that Eiden hug??????

OG SSR R5: i unlocked this waaay late so it had to (unfairly) compete against newer rooms that I unlocked before it.

it's similar to when I played FF/X-2 before trying FF/VII (original PS version)?! i wish i had played the older one when it first released. that way, i would have appreciated it properly? BUT!! because i played out of order, i was spoilt with modern graphics and improvements that made the old game impossible to finish. I was too warped by then...

and that's what happened with this room. although i liked the concept + their dialogue, the art was too off-model for me to fully engage. i kept fixating on the anatomy or eiden's face. sigh... it was one of the earliest rooms so of course the art's improved since then!! but i was unlucky and watched it too late :( i could not enjoy its full splendour :(

[ultr6violnce]

im boutta say smth n' idk how many will agree n' i honestly don't care but if you're genuinely going online and going out of ur fucking way to cosplay as real people who were genuine bad people or are fucking dead pls get help n' stop being a freak. because if i see one more fucking pelle cosplay on my fyp im gonna genuinely rip my own intestines out. like let him rest ffs n' the ppl who also like try to be like euronymous n' varg like r we js forgetting what they did or what??? because it's genuinely so fucked that ur not only dressing up n' trying to be like someone who's dead n' took pics of his bandmates d3ad b0dies to use as an album cover BUT ALSO GOING OUT OF UR WAY TO BE LIKE AND COSPLAY AS THE PERSON WHO KILLED HIM?? get help pls n' thx 🤞🤞

[l-in-the-light]

Hey 😊, i also have some romantic Law questions: ❤️💋

How would Law confess?

How would a date with him look like?

Would he initiate first time sex?

Oh, more romantic relationship questions, lets go!

How would he confess? Probably something along those lines:

"Don't make me worry that much ffs"

"I don't like bread"

"Moon is pretty tonight" (whoever gets the reference is a chad)

"D. will bring the storm"

"If he loses, I will die with him"

"Thanks, you showed me something interesting"

"Don't shout, you idiot!"

What, you don't think those are suitable lines for confessing his feelings? But each of them carried such emotional weight, it was definitely heavier than a love confession! Anyway, my point is, he probably wouldn't do it directly. It would depend on the context of the situation and be very vague, but his feelings would get across. He might finally do the "I love you" when he's literally seconds from dying just to spare himself having to live on with all the drama and cheesiness afterwards. I beg you not the "thanks for loving me" line, I had enough heartbreak the first time. Or not, who knows :D Considering the confession is indirect, he wouldn't wait for the "right moment" or make any preperations for romantic mood or place. He's a natural like that. I'm so funny, I know.

A date with Trafalgar Law. Well, it depends who you are in that scenario. But overall I think he wouldn't call it a date, only in a hindsight, and just to mess with you, like "what else it could have been", meanwhile denying it every second when the date is actually happening. What a troll. But he would definitely spoil his significant other to no end. And I mean it when I say to no end. Let's assume you like Harry Potter, he would take you to Universal Studios Harry Potter theme park just so you both can drink butterbeer while walking around Diagon Alley set, even if he had to travel half a globe for it. Yes, just for a freaking date. That's the level of dedication we're talking about. His pampering knows no limits, you might actually at some point try to run away screaming. He wouldn't mind doing stuff that do not interest him in the slightest, as long as you're having fun, and he would make sure not to complain because he knows it's important for you.

He would know exactly what type of places, movies, food, presents etc. would make you happy without needing to ask you about it, because he's a good listener and is very observant. He actually likes to spoil people this way, but he would prefer for them not to know it comes from him. He might go as far as to tell you a blatant lie "Oh you dreamed of coming here? What a coincidence" while in reality he planned every minute of it. Don't expect a smile or a laugh though, if you get one smirk you might consider yourself lucky. Whispering sweet-nothings and other lovey-dovey talk is definitely out of question and it would make him actually cringe. You might sometimes hear a casual compliment though.

Occassionaly his partner might want to do something on the date that Law enjoys the most. I guess that means they're signing up for a "wandering aimlessly for days in the wild" date at that moment, good luck! He might not make you suffer through the tour of antique stores just so he can find some rare coins to collect (I do believe him to be considerate after all), but he might consider taking you with him to a Sora convention. It would be the highest honour. He will not cosplay though, he would be too embarrassed for that.

Law believes in equality so you're splitting bills half-half, no matter if you're a boy, a girl, or identify as something else. But when you run out of money he will protest, complain, and pay for you anyway, because he wants his partner to be happy. If you would lie that you don't have money just to be spoiled, he would pretend he doesn't know and would still "fall for it". Unless you're Luffy who never has any money or spends it in 5 seconds, then I guess Law is doomed to be penniless as the result of the date. He actually wouldn't mind and would accept his fate, but watch him wearing a sour face all the time.

He's surprisingly a traditional guy (his parents brought him up to be very decent), so don't expect a kiss before a third date lol. And even then he might just not do it anyway. If he's aroace like I tend to believe he is, good luck ever getting that kiss :D The date itself probably won't be very romantic, more like a friends going out, but is that really a bad thing? After all isn't the fact you both enjoy each other's company and wouldn't want to spend that time with anyone else enough to be happy?

Holding hands might happen from time to time, but only if you're in secluded place when no people are watching you. Considering touch is a big deal to him, that's the biggest intimacy you can expect out of any date with him.

Sometimes his reckless side might show up (or all the time, if you're freaking Luffy), and he would do some crazy shanenigans he would instantly regret, but after a while think back on and smile to himself about. But he only does those when provoked or dragged into someone's pace!

Would he initiate first-time sex? Definitely not! Again, if we go with my headcanon, he wouldn't even be interested much in sex in the first place. But let's assume he would be, he still would wait for the other person to initiate it, because again, his problematic relation to closeness and touch would definitely prevent him from asking for it, even if he would yearn for it badly. Especially the first time would be a big deal, because in his head he constantly expects people to reject him, even people close to him. Maybe by the third time he would try to show more reciprocation. Any form of intimacy definitely would mean a world to him simply because his partner isn't repulsed or rejecting him. Sadly it would prevent him from cuddles and constant contact, he would claim it's because he's not into that, but he would be just hiding his fears behind that lie. It would definitely take a lot of time and effort to get him any closer to opening up about it.

This was a cute question, thanks, I had fun answering it :) I hope you enjoyed reading it too!

[raveneira]

Hello, have you seen the interview? If you did, well... I'm speechless, like is it frr...... This cosplay thing is so dumb and goofy, and I don't know what to say now.... Is it going to get redeemed? (Plus idek for who I'm reading this manga for, like they destroyed the characters fr)

No no same, its beyond questionable if whats been said is legit

Like Boruto is purposefully Sasuke 2.0? and he does it because he likes it? when we said Boruto was literally trying to become Sasuke we weren't being entirely serious because most of us believed Boruto would be his own character and that this was just a weird Sasuke phase he was having, but to actually say no he really is trying to become this man? even acting like him intentionally? so Borutos change in personality is confirmed to not just be the natural progression from the hardships he's gone through, but because he is purposefully putting on his best Sasuke impression? holy shit thats next level...

And Sarada...ffs the girl cant even shop for clothes without making it about Boruto, you would think she would represent her Idol Naruto who she thinks is dead instead, especially after she hit Shikamaru with this hard line in the very first chapter

'My role model is lord 7th, not you.'

Could've fkin fooled me, but I guess the death of her idol she claims to be following his footsteps wasn't good enough for her to honor, Im guessing all of this was just for show then too.

But at least she has her dad right? surely she'd wanna rep her dad who she threw into the lions den to be hunted down along with her friend right? her dad she awakened her Sharingan for out of pure joy of just finally getting to meet him? her dad that not a day went by that he was gone she didn't ask when he would come home?

SURELY she would wanna represent her missing father right? nope not him either, and don't even try saying the Uchiha earrings are her tribute to him, she literally wears the Uchiha symbol on her danm back foh, you know they ain't got a danm thing to do with her tributing Sasuke.

But who does she pays tribute to? Boruto....unfkinbelievable

No seriously that is actually unbelieveable at how Ikemoto really perceives her character, from the moment he's taken over the writing full force Sarada has had zero personality of her own, motivation outside of Boruto, thoughts outside of Boruto, autonomy outside of Boruto, hell now not even her own fkin choice in fashion outside of Boruto

We thought Boruto's obsession with Sasuke was weird but Sarada's with Boruto isnt that far behind it because wtf? Boruto's not even dead and you reppin him before Naruto who actually is to your knowledge? your dad is being hunted on the run right next to Boruto at YOUR request and you don't rep him? but you rep Boruto? Istg if Sarada was rockin a IX tattoo on her face and a tokyo revengers style jacket cuz she missed Kawaki NOBODY would think that shit was cute or sweet, they'd find it weird as hell and rightfully so because of how its executed

Like thats not her husband, thats not even her bf, thats not even somebody shes confirmed to have romantic feelings for, its not in tribute to a dead loved one, this is literally her just shopping for a similar Boruto jacket which is weird as hell just like Boruto shopping for an EXACT Sasuke style cloak is weird as hell, wtf is with Ikemoto and giving characters the most weirdest and creepiest obsessions?

And before anyone tries to argue this isn't creepy lemme put it into perspective, even if you argue Sarada likes Boruto, lets say she does, now picture this, imagine a girl or a guy likes you, you don't know they like you, they never confessed to you, your not together, you are just really good friends, then something big happens that makes you have to leave for 3 years, and when you finally come back the first thing you see is that girl or guy wearing your clothes

You cannot in all honesty tell me you wouldn't be weirded tf out, hell imagine your on the reverse end and the first thing you see when they return is them dressed up as and acting exactly like your father, YOU WOULD BE WEIRDED TF OUT.

So lets not pretend what Boruto is doing is cute and wholesome cuz it isn't, its fkin creepy, and don't pretend what Sarada is doing is cute and sweet either because its not, its fkin creepy.

This isnt me being biased because of no dumbass shipping differences, if Kawaki had come back in fresh Naruto clothing I'd have said that was fkin creepy as well, because it is, its creepy, this is not normal, its not like Gohan in the slightest who was just admiring Piccolo but still wore his own clothes, had his own identity and personality, and wasn't obsessed with him, THAT was an actual HEALTHY admiration, but the bs Boruto and now Sarada is pulling? straight unhealthy obsession and creepy behavior.

Again, imagine a close friend of yours trying to literally become your dad to the extent Boruto has, would you not be creeped tf out?

Now Imagine a close friend of yours suddenly wearing your same style of clothing after not seeing them for a long time, would you not be creeped tf out? I must emphasize this is not a bf/gf or a spouse, this is just your friend suddenly dressing like you when they've never done that before and their sense of fashion isn't even remotely similar to yours, be honest, would you not find that just a little bit OFF?

Only in Boruto would Sarada see Boruto completely Sasukefied and not question it, and only would Boruto see Sarada wearing his style of clothes and not question it, but thank god for Kawaki being the only realistic character in this sequel who pointed out how fkin weird it is.

Like Im sorry even tho this is fiction that is a HUGE elephant in the room you cant possibly not address, but only in Boruto would you see them do just that.

Aanyway Im glad its confirmed now that Ikemoto is the one writing and not Kishimoto like majority of us already knew, it would've been really disappointing if Kishimoto was the one massacring their characters like this, but Im glad our intuition was right that no matter how bad Kishimotos writing may be at times it was never THIS bad.

Im not even a fan of Boruto's but even I think its tragic and ridiculous what Ikemoto has done to him, Sarada too, its actually insane how night and day the writing is from when Kodachi was writing and after he left, they are like two completely different stories when you compare it now, so the reveal that yea once Kodachi left Ikemoto has been writing full time isn't a surprise because it showed without it even having to be said, thats how you know the writing quality had to be BAD anytime you could immediately tell something was off.

Kishimoto/Kodachi's vision was vastly different than Ikemotos, that much is VERY apparent, and hey Im all for letting him have some creative freedom since Kishimoto did hand him the sequel but there's creative freedom, and then there's just doing whatever tf you want with someone else's legacy just because Kishimoto is too uninvested in this sequel to stop him.

Its honestly sad seeing Kishimoto and Kodachis vision be trampled on like this just because Kishimoto rightfully has no interest in this sequel and therefore doesn't invest a ton of time and effort into really overseeing the story and direction, he just looks over what Ikemoto writes, maybe comments on some things, but gives him the greenlight regardless because this is IKEMOTOS sequel, because had Ikemoto not had taken on doing the sequel himself Kishimoto had no intentions on doing it, he said he was done with Naruto for now and he meant it, so you cant even blame him for not being that invested in the story and what happens because he said from the very beginning this isn't what he wanted, so it makes sense he's leaving the story primarily done by Ikemoto with just some minor input here and there and thats it.

All this could've been avoided if higher ups just respected Kishimoto's wishes about not wanting a sequel, but instead we get essentially Naruto GT.

I cant answer for you, but the only reason Im still reading atp is because I've invested so much time into it already that I might as well finish it, its my unwritten rule that if I get far enough in something that I should just finish it regardless of how bad it is. The reason I stuck by as long as I did before I reached this point was because I wanted to see how my faves, Sarada, Kawaki, and Mitsuki would develop, I wanted to see what caused the FF, and I wanted to see the interesting future Sarada and Sasuke were supposedly gonna have.

But now? Im just here to finish what I started, Im not enjoying this manga anymore, Im not optimistic about it improving, Im just gonna see it through. This doesn't mean I suddenly hate my faves nor or that I hate Boruto in general, no, let me be very clear.

I hate IKEMOTO'S Boruto, Kishimoto's was fine, Kodachi's was fine, Ikemoto's is abysmal.

Honestly with this confirmation you could pretty much say this really is Naruto GT since its not written by the original creator, Toriyama also had some mild involvement with GT but it wasn't a canon sequel to DBZ since it was mainly created by someone else, so you might as well call Boruto Naruto GT atp cuz thats how tf it feels and tbh? I'd welcome that because at least then, like GT, we don't have to acknowledge it as a official sequel and canon events that happened after Naruto that completely destroyed its legacy, it can just exist as a non-canon 'what if' scenario.

Ngl tho but it is hella weird that Ikemoto's vision is a heavily sexualized Sarada obsessing over a guy and her entire life revolves around him, and some weird chad protag Sasuke clone all the ladies want gary stu power fantasy is a weird hill to die on as a writer If Im bein honest, that sounds like a weird self insert fanfic just sayin.

[brattygrymblade]

I was a long time Final Fantasy Fan, first played FF8 when it came out and then went back and played the other titles, and have played each numbered title to some degree and played some of the side releases. I couldnt get into FF11 cause when it came out I was living in the Philippines and had no way to play it. I eventually moved to Thailand where I got more into MMOs, and I moved to Australia where I started playing Retail WoW more and more.

Then I heard about 1.0's development, and all the trouble it was going through - the exhaustion system, no jumping, the clunky UI, the rough japanese usage that lead to some users to accuse the devs of using an offshore development team to make the game instead of actual japanese developers (this is where the famous Horsebird stuff came from). I scoffed at the notion of FF trying to make an MMO cause in my head FF was failing (I had at the time heard how bad 13 was received but wasnt able to play it as I did not have a PS3) and that WoW was king.

Eventually I got burned out on WoW in late 2012, early 2013. Stopped playing. Between League of Legends and making cosplays, I was kinda itching for a new game.

Then in June 2013, I saw a friend of mine on facebook sharing screenshots of FF14 Open Beta. I thought, "Wasn't FF14 in beta back in 2011? Its still in Beta? ... Well, she seems like shes having fun, its open beta so its not like i'm losing money trying it out."

I played Beta and promptly cancelled my WoW account.

August 2013 hit for Open Beta/Phase 4 and I had made a Roegadyn (cause I met Merlwyb and was like :O She cool)

Cross class skills! Remember those?

I've been playing ever since.

I met Folken in April 2014. we got Eternally Bonded the first week it was available in Dec 2014. I met him the first time face to face, flying from Melbourne Australia to Las Vegas US in summer 2015. He proposed to me on the anniversary of our Eternal Bond in 2017 when we spent Christmas together. I finally moved to the US in 2019 and we got married on the date of our Eternal Bond. 2023, we bought a house together irl (after having houses in FFXIV Together since Housing was available lmao) <3

Question for the ffxiv fandom!

How did you all get into the game? I love hearing everyone's stories about how they found the game.

AoS season 5 reactions

Or how to ruin a show that until then was being flawlessly written.

Going by chronological order with @shieldagent93 having to stand my rants...

~In 5x01, two of the three sentences said by Jemma had the word "Fitz". It's too much. It's like if she's always thinking about him.

~I... What's happening?? When do they explain what's going on?

~I don't like this Deke guy.

~5x05 was great. It explained a lot of the doubts I had. Also seeing Hunter again was amazing.

~What the fuck are they doing shooting at a fuckin quinjet wtf.

~5x08 has me like "how does time travel works in Marvel?". Like... They're in the future but they also raised Robin. Guess it's a Marvel thing. Also i would really like Fitz a little more if he had a better control of his outburst. I know, he's frustrated, but I guess screaming angry men just trigger me... And he has an ugly as fuck beard now. Anyway, May looks younger every season. The woman grows old in reverse.

~Done with 5x10. My Elena feelings are hurting. Also someone in the writing room as an amputation kink... Honestly this season is being the least cool (which is still better than what I'm used but, still). The dystopan society and everything related feels clumsy.

~You gotta be freakin kidding me her arms actually got chopped off?? Also, bad Susan Vásquez, bad. Alex Danvers would be disappointed

~"Losing a life is better than two" "This is not Hydra, Leopold!" Like, fuckin literally, Leopold!

~... There was an Hydra high school??? How did they remain undercover for 70 years, again?... I mean, they literally have an Hydra high school uniform... The person who washes their clothes might, idk, GUESS it's an Hydra high school.

~5x14... What the fuck did i just watch. Yeah, fuck FitzSimmons. Fuck Fitz. The fuck with Simmons. And I guess you won't catch me talking about Skimmons for a while. Wtf.

~Note to myself: Dessica never exaggerates. When she says something is bad, it's bad.

~Also, funny how Fitz apparently was talking to his evil self for weeks and no one noticed anything different about him. Jemma didn't notice anything different about him. So either that was bad writing or the dude is truly a psycho and not worse than Ward.

~5x15 has me like 'why no one is angry at Fitz?' He didn't steal someone's cookie he fuckin cut into Daisy??? Why don't they let Jemma be angry at him?? Since when all Jemma cares is only him??... I miss the Jemma of the past seasons.

~Deke: 'I respect you for what you did'

Is this... Is this for real???

~Deke: Daisy is a pain in the ass

FitzSimmons: I noticed.

Me: ENOUGH OF THIS BULL-

~ Jemma: "Fitz is paying for thinking differently"

*internally screaming *

~You know, this is worse than Supergirl's s5. Because the bullshit was said mostly by the fans, not the actual characters.

~"Maybe that they chopped your arms off wasn't so bad"... Are they trying to make me hate him?... Who wrote this?

~

Pffffffffffffffff LMAO!!!! He's fuckin cosplaying Khan from Star Trek...

~Plz let this season end.

~... Did i just hear the phrase 'Fitz is an incredible person' coming out of Daisy's mouth-i can't believe it

~Andddd Talbot just killed Brainiac 5.

~Jemma "torturing Daisy is okay but I draw the line at using an old corpse to create a cure to save Coulson's life" Simmons... Daisy literally hijacked her mother's corpse and it's not even the weirder thing about this season.

~Poor Jiaying. Like, yeah, she tried to kill Daisy but she was bananas at the moment and everything was Hydra's fault so...(Just like ANOTHER scientist restrained ANOTHER defenseless asian girl because he thought FUCKIN CUTTING INTO HER was for the GREATER GOOD) (I WONDER WHO MIGHT THAT BE)

~Okay but this evil alien villian is literally just a black man. No pointy ears. No weird eyes. No sharp teeth. Not even ants. Just a black man. Black men must look alien enough to whoever created this character

~Fitz: We can't break the time loop

Jemma: Okay Fitz ❤️

Fitz: I changed my mind I think we must make sure we break it

Jemma: Okay Fitz ❤️

This woman hasn't had a single personal thought in 15 episodes

~ Philindaisy's shoulders must hurt from carrying the weight of the season. Mack is honestly the only survivor of this team. I don't know any person called Finn or Simona or whoever. Neither their grandson Dick the Dick. And Elena is on thin, thin ice. I can still understand her pov and see why she does what she does. That's why she's on thin ice instead of on the bottom of the ocean like Fido and Simpsons.

~"I'm the savior of the world" said he, as he crashed his ship against a fuckin city. Homeboy at least be a coherent villian ffs-He's making the jesuchrist pose. Talbot, honey I'm so sorry.

~... So is Fitz dead?? I don't get it. Is he dead?? Why is everyone talking like if he were sleeping? What happened? I can't believe this show broke the curse of the 4th season just to invent the curse of the 5th.

You know the worst thing of this season?? That Daisy did everything in her power to protect Jemma from Papa Smurf and some episodes after it Jemma fuckin says it was right to hurt Daisy. Homegirl, that's a shit friend. Someone introduce her to Lena Luthor.

[beyond-far-horizons]

I feel the conflict within you...

I really don’t know how to feel about the Kenobi show.

*Spoilers*

 At its best it was great - the Prequels callbacks and integration of Star Wars Rebels were my favourites and it was a joy to see Ewan and Hayden back and enjoying their roles esp after all the negativity they got at the time (sadly I wasn’t a massive fan of everything in the Prequels myself, but I’m loving seeing them back.)

But frankly I felt it made little sense, had little point and tampered too greatly with the set-up for the OT. And don’t get me started on the amount of times characters had to hold the Idiot Ball or the terrible dialogue! I feel really ungrateful saying this as we are lucky to get what we did but I just feel so confused by the way it was put together. The number of times Vader just let Obi Wan go literally to serve the plot, the fact they couldn’t find a dude dressed exactly like a Jedi (cloak and everything) and he was able to hide Leia *under his cloak* in a top security military base it just seemed ludicrous. Empire’s hunting him/it’s letting him go/nope it’s def hunting him/no it’s letting him escape...Vader’s obsessed with him/no he’s letting a minion confront him/no he’s killing him!/nah he’s just gonna stare at him as he gets saved. And BOTH of them do the Bond Villain fail of walking away when they MUST KNOW the other is alive due to the Force?!

Also what was Kingo from the Eternals doing there? Totally took me out, he was awful. It felt like the MCU ffs! He was playing the character exactly the same.

And the dialogue - ugh. “YOu SHouLd HaVE KILLed ME ....WheN yoU HAd tHE cHanCE!”

“Goodbye...Darth...” His Sith name is Vader, you muppet! Darth is a title, you know that, you fought the bloody Sith. Oh someone Force Lightning me already!

Luke and Leia...hmm I just feel this was cute but it wasn’t good enough to mess with the OT the way it did and frankly it took some of the mystique off of Leia. There’s this thing with prequels and worldbuilding (I know I’m a writer) where you feel drawn to develop threads and fill in character by creating foundations for things in your initial narrative, but there’s also a thing with over-milked series  when they want to explain every damn thing and tie it neatly in bow (same issue with Solo) and I feel this is the latter. 

It also didn’t fill in two major plotholes it really could have done -Vader telling Luke Obi Wan once thought as he did aka that Obi Wan thought Vader could be turned back to the Light and Leia’s memory of Padme. 

Given what we got and what we could have gotten, would you have preferred this or Obi Wan learning Anakin is alive and trying to redeem him, maybe against Qui Gon’s wishes (call back to Luke and Yoda in Empire and yes I would have brought Qui Gon back alot sooner) and have Anakin reject him, maybe with Palpatine laughing in the background. We could have Leia seeing Padme in Obi Wan’s mind (or recalling Force visions of Padme while she was in the womb - I really wanted to see Padme back for a moment!)  This could have been a real test of Vader as well as of Obi Wan as the series hinted at the end with Palpatine. I feel it was a real missed opportunity and in some ways the most elaborate cosplay exercise. I don’t feel it really had much to say overall aside a Sequels-esque ‘realistic’ view of Kenobi’s PTSD. Okay fine but it could have been done better and more in line with the Star wards feel.

And that’s it...yet again this series doesn’t feel like Star Wars. The music or lack of it made a big difference but really it’s the same reoccurring problem - the execs don’t understand the mythic base and how to grow something new out of it. Episodes of Clone Wars and The Mandalorian have come closest to this but they are still lacking the heart of what made the OT so magical. They really need to go back to the Jungian psychology underpinning the story - that the core, not the ‘used galaxy’ look, western/samurai feel or meme call backs.

Anyway I liked aspects of it, I’m grateful we have it but I do feel it was another missed opportunity with some bizarre choices. What do you think?

Rewatching Dead Man’s Blood

Welcome to “Machete Size Apparently Matters: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

 Up today, s1e20: Dead Man’s Blood

 An old hunter is attacked and killed by a group of vampires. When Sam and Dean go to investigate, they run into John, who shares that the vamps stole an old Colt from the hunter that can kill “anything.” The boys and John team up (not without some serious friction) to try to clear out the vamp nest and steal the gun. John thinks the Colt is finally the answer to how to kill the demon who killed Mary. Bring a machete because there’s lots of fraught to hack through in this one. Plus, it’s handy for beheading vampires.

 Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here.  Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.

 [and we begin:]

 Lor:

 grrrrrr

 Mace:

 ugh, I have an actual, visceral reaction when Sam calls him Sir.

 Lor:

 RIGHT?

Mace:

 How fun would it have been to be in the prop dept and help make those hunting journals?!

 Lor:

 YES

 Mace:

 If we ever cosplay the boys together, we NEED to make one

 Lor:

 OMG

that would be SO COOL

 Mace:

 YES

 Lor:

 Dean and his newspaper

 Mace:

 YES

 "boys, we're eating in tonight" if any vampire actually said that, the others would sooo make fun of them, honestly

 Lor:

hahahaha right?

 Mace:

 Aw, Dean wants Sammy to have a girlfriend

 Lor:

 yeah

 "or oops I spilled the popcorn salt"

 Mace:

 HA!

...

now I want popcorn

 Lor:

 LOLOLOLOL

YEP

 do they keep Elkins's journal? I don't think anyone ever mentions it again, but jeez, take that with you

 Mace:

 Oooh, excellent question! I don't know. Maybe there's a CODE and you don't touch another man's journal unless he says it's okay...

 Lor:

 oooo maybe

 Mace:

 SMARTY DEAN MAKING A SQUEEZE

 Lor:

 god, Dean pressing the paper down into the blood so it doesn't move

 Mace:

 yep

 FUCK YOU JOHN

 Lor:

 FUCK OFF, JOHN, jeeeeesus

 Mace:

 Sammy smells the bullshit that John came for this dead friend but keeps away from his own sons

 Lor:

 YEP

 apparently he didn't teach you not to knock on the window like that and scare the crap out of your kids

 Mace:

 YEP

 Aha! John isn't there because of his dead friend but for the fucking gun

 Lor:

 YEP

 Mace:

 I forget that they've not encountered vampires yet

 Lor:

 he THouGhT tHeY wERe EXtinCT

 yeah

 Mace:

  (Buffy would kick John's ass so hard)

 Lor:

 I feel like he isn't even that good at his job

 (YES)

 Mace:

 NOPE

I mean, there's no evidence that he is. He's well known to demons not for his own sake but because of his sons

 Lor:

 yeah

 Mace:

 Makes Dean's worship of him that much more tragically skewed

 Lor:

 I think maybe some people say he is? but also he seems to have had a falling out with... everyone

 yeah

 Mace:

 OHO, don't question dad, Sammy

FUUUUUCK YOU JOHN

 Lor:

 and the way he doesn't tell them ANYTHING

 Mace:

 YEP

 you know, I kind of love this idea now, that John actually isn't anything special at all.

 Lor:

 god he does things to make them feel SMALL. i HATE him

 Mace:

 OH FUCK YOU SO HARD JOHN DO NOT TALK ABOUT BABY LIKE THAT

 Lor:

 ooo YES

 Mace:

 YESYESYES

 Lor:

 RIGHT?

 Dean loves that car like it is HIMSELF don't be such a JERK

 oh, Sam is driving

 Mace:

 Sam is the chosen one for the yellow eyed war, Dean is chosen by Chuck, ffs. They're the ones that matter. John is in fact nothing. and maybe he senses that and it bothers him

 Lor:

 ooooo

 Mace:

 oh submissive DEAN

 Lor:

 YEP

 do you hear that, John? revenge isn't worth much if you end up dead

OR YOUR KIDS DO

 Mace:

 YUP

 Ooooh, angry Sammy

I LOVE IT

 Lor:

 YES

 poor Dean, getting between them

 Mace:

 yeah

 "and I said no" YAS SAMMY

 Lor:

 YAAAS

 Mace:

 but poor Dean saying "stop it, both of you"

 Lor:

 yeah

 oh Dean. I just want to wrap him in blankets. this isn't supposed to be your job, baby

 Mace:

 yeah

 vampires just shouldn't be skanky

 it's wrong

 Lor:

 no

like, they are immortal, why are they living in a crap barn being crappy?

 Mace:

 right?!

 Lor:

 FUCK YOU JOHN. FUCK YOU AND YOUR BIGGER MACHETE

 Mace:

 YUP

 Lor:

 so I will never watch it again, so I'll never know I guess, but is the barn in 327 supposed to be this barn?

 Mace:

 no idea

stupid 327

WHO CARES

 Lor:

 i suppose knowing where they're both set would help

but that's Jenny, right? the woman they turned?

 Mace:

 yeah? is she in the last ep? I have blocked most of it from memory

 Lor:

 yeah, she's the like head vampire of the nest they're fighting in that one

 Mace:

 ah

 "you gotta understand something: I'm a raging douchebag."

 Lor:

 HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 you became their abuser

 Mace:

 YUP

 Lor:

 it never occurred to him what Sam wanted? JESUS

 Mace:

 yeah

 my god, Jared has a gorgeous smile

 Lor:

 YES

 I do love that they frame Sam as the one who is like John

 Mace:

 yeah that's clever

 Lor:

 "you know what to do" and then cut to Dean as bait

I HATE HIM

 Mace:

 YEP

 Lor:

 and it's sexualized too

 Mace:

 of course it is

 Lor:

 YES DEAN

 omg the way his voice breaks

 Mace:

 YAS

 Lor:

 the way Sam yells at John and Dean pleads with him

 Mace:

 yeah

 Lor:

 that's probably personality difference, but I wonder if it's also partly bc Dean remembers when John wasn't like this

 Mace:

 hm, maybe

i lean more toward personality

 Lor:

 yeah I think I do too, honestly

 I don't like the way he's dealing with these vampires either. like, it's almost cruel

the rope? using the feelings they have for each other against them? gross, John

 Mace:

 hm. yeah, but I think sam and dean do similar things, no?

we just hate John

 Lor:

 I am conveniently forgetting that fact

 Mace:

 Ha! I suspected as much

 Lor:

 lol

 Mace:

 oooh rebel Dean I LOVE IT

 Lor:

 "I am?"

 YES

 [after the episode ended]

Lor:

I feel like there was a lot of vampire lore in there they abandon after this ep

 Mace:

yeah? I can’t keep track

we really don’t see a lot of vampires

that one really old dude

and a couple of eps here and there

 Lor:

 yeah

The vamps’ eyes do a thing in this one I don’t think we see again? and that stuff about a vampire once getting your scent never leaving you alone. and the herbs stuff so they can’t smell you

yeah, they aren’t around super a lot

 Mace:

 ah yeah, I think you’re right about that

 Lor:

 but there’s the whole Gordon thing. and then that nest Dean is a part of for a hot second in S6

 Mace:

 Oh I forgot about that

and BENNY HOW COULD I FORGET BENNY

 Lor:

  Mace:

 I’m so sorry, teddy bear. hold it against me

 Lor:

 HAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

Any headcanons for if the killing harmony boys(and or girls) were the remnants of despair?

I have HCs for Kokichi and Kaito! As for the rest:

.........

Angie

Abandoned Atua and worships Junko as a goddess, claiming to be her “vessel” after she’s long gone.

Goes around convincing others to listen to “Junko”’s word.

She’ll ask for sacrifices of blood, families/loved ones, and art supplies.

Which she uses to paint gruesome graffiti art all over Japan, her “followers” doing the same to spread despair.

Kirumi

Parallel to Servant--she exists to carry out the will of others.

But unlike her old self, there’s no request she won’t deny if it allows her to spread as much despair as possible.

She’s used/abused a lot by the otjer Remannts, but the despair she feels makes it worthwhile.

She abandoned her nation and let it fall to ruins while she joined DICE as Kokichi’s bodyguard.

Has her Argument Armament outfit and weapons.

Ryoma

Ironically, he wants to live and see all the despair he can.

Took his Ultimate to the streets, slaughtering the last of the mafia who killed his loved ones.

He broke into his former prison and killed the inmates who hurt him in the past, before letting everyone go free.

Does this for other jails and create a significant spike in crimes across Japan.

Kaede

Hosts seemingly harmless piano recitals.

Which are actually brainwash attendees into despair, making them kill themselves or attack others in the audience, before survivors exit to attack others outside.

It’s basically like the “outbreak” that SCP-701 causes.

She has her Argument Armament outfit, too, though it’s stained with the blood of her "fans".

Gonta

Very aggressive and easy to provoke. He’ll take on Future Foundation armies with his bare hands.

Dangerous bugs (wasps, hornets, etc.) are always swarming him like a protective shield.

Any venomous ones (spiders, scorpions, etc.) inject despair poison into their victims when they bite/sting.

Tsumugi

Uses her cosplays to gain people’s trust before killing them with her weapon props.

Basically turns into her mastermind-self in terms of personality: crazed, obsessed, and arrogant.

Becomes the de facto leader of the Remnants, who see her as a “reincarnation” of Junko.

Tenko

Emotionless and brutal.

She fought and killed all her former masters for the sake of despair.

Usually fights FF armies alongside Gonta, trying to get more kills than him.

Korekiyo

Travels the world to spread despair and convince civilizations to join in despair.

Like Angie, he’ll encourage blood/human sacrifices, leaving books and instruction pamphlets wherever he goes.

He’s abandoned all obsessions with his sister, continuing his killings to give Junko “new friends” in the afterlife instead.

Maki

Goes back to her ruthless ways as an assassin.

She doesn’t kill for anything else but despair.

Slaughters the parents of children and spares them only to give them (and herself) maximum despair.

Uses her faux “Ultimate Child Caregiver” title to sway them to her side.

Shuichi

Plots grisly, nearly unsolvable murders, making it difficult for justice to be delivered.

But besides that, he remains in the shadows, alone and..kinda remorseful over giving into despair.

He just studies everything he can about serial killers, tampering with crime scenes to mimic ones they're notorious for leaving.

K1B0

With some simple reprogramming, his original personality was scrapped and he becomes like a Terminator.

Miu upgraded him with dozens of weapons to maximize destruction.

He ruthlessly murdered his “father” for the sake of despair.

Miu

Is the equivalent to a mad scientist, inventing the most bizarre weapons that’ll maximize despair in the world.

Responsible for giving Remnant!K1B0 his upgrades.

Uses her own electrohammers and such to kill.

Though she prefers to attack from the shadows. She’s still cowardly when not in her lab.

Himiko

Has shows to draw in large audiences and uses hypnosis to make them convert to despair.

Usually performs tricks on the hypnotized “volunteers” that end with them bloody/dismembered.

Her doves are trained to peck out of the eyes of anyone who jeers at her shows.

Rantaro

The only thing he did as a Remnant was slaughter his sisters as sacrifices for Junko.

After that, like Shuichi, he hid away from society.

He genuinely didn’t want to hurt anyone else.

Plus, the loneliness brought him despair, considering how he used to be surrounded by loved ones all the time.

[so-i-did-this-thing]

What is a fandom pedator? I have never heard this expression - someone who invades fandoms or like a predator within a certain fandom?

"Fandom predator" is a term I use, not sure if it's common. But it refers to people who use fandom spaces to prey on vulnerable people. They typically entice their victims with internet fame, access to celebs (which of course they don't have), and/or some spiritual connection to the fictional characters themselves (yes, really).

These predators tend to move from fandom to fandom whenever they are caught. Some just grift for money and fame, opportunities for sexual abuse (always be wary of cosplay photographers who want you alone at a shoot), while others form honest-to-god mini cults. Some try being "Big Name Fans" and others are content to be more niche.

Some of the abuse pulled off tends to be absolutely bonkers (past lives, wizard battles, etc.), and gets dismissed as weird fandom wank. Or, because they form close connections and live with victims very quickly, any fallout is assumed to be relationship drama. "The Final Fantasy House" and "Thanfiction" are two examples that are layered with so much internet lore so as to be impenetrable to outsiders.

One of these mind games abusers tried to target me because I had a costume go viral at a convenient time for him, am pretty open about myself, am enthusiastic online, and sometimes like to "talk" to my characters in my tags/comments. (This is an affectation and should never be taken literally, ffs, I'm just being a goober.)

On paper, I guess I came off as a good victim, but irl, I am pretty intimidating and serious, with zero tolerance for this kind of bullshit. The dumbass also tried offering cosplay fame / celeb access, when I have literally run conventions and have industry connections, lmao.

Anyway, unfortunately there are a lot of creeps out there who are absolutely aware a lot of us use fandom to explore our identities and other vulnerabilities, and absolutely use that to their advantage. :/ Be safe.

‘Toxic’ Anime Fandoms (But I’m just angry)

Ok so this is gonna be a long stupid ramble because I (An idiot) found some articles online about toxic anime fandoms... and by god does it piss me off. SO in this essay I’m gonna incoherently scream about why these articles I found are just lacking in explanation, and then I point at the glaring flaws. Not to mention I’m using multiple articles, but they all like to use similar arguments.  Warning, I’m gonna paraphrase because these articles are long winded about literally nothing.

The Naruto fanbase is toxic because people compare everything to Naruto, and people get upset when you don’t put it in your best anime list!! Honey... HONEY, that’s how all fandoms are. Naruto was likely people’s first introduction to anime, and people are defensive over their nostalgia, I mean like you saw the uprising with the new Ben 10 and Teen Titans Go, other than the fact that they’re BAD, but people were upset and still are (which is yet again understandable)  Seriously, if I made a list that said ‘Best Things Ever’ and I didn’t include something that they liked, then I understand why someone would be upset, and maybe comment something. It’s the day in age where if you have an opinion someone will probably be upset with you.

The Deathnote fanbase is toxic because people like to say it’s good and act offended if you haven’t watched it! Well I mean... Yeah? That’s how fans of a show can act, it’s just exaggerated. I mean seriously, if someone told me they haven’t ever played Undertale, or heard anything about Homestuck- I’m gonna wonder about what part of the internet you’ve been on because I played Undertale for the first time in like 2019 thanks to how much my friends praised it, and I only got into Homestuck in very late 2020 because one of my friends went on a three hour rant about homestuck and I needed the context for so much stuff. Hell, I only have any knowledge on Deathnote because my friend took their old Deathnote Manga and gave it to me for my birthday- which was a touching gift since they really love Deathnote. 

The Hunter X Hunter fanbase is toxic because it doesn’t get attention from weebs, and the fans sometimes get angry. Seriously? That’s what we’re mad about? This is literally so fucking petty my god- next ffs.

The Jojo fanbase is toxic because ‘is that a jojo reference memes’ and because fans want you to watch Jojo. Fucking- AGAIN!? jesus christ. You wanna know how I got into Jojo? My tooth was pulled, and it was the first time I ever got any teeth pulled, so I was high as hell and spitting out blood occasionally. I didn’t want to walk home that day (for obvious reasons) and so I stayed late so I could get a ride from my friends parents. So when another mutual acquaintance came up, and he was playing the Jojo game on an emulator. This got into the three of them telling me about Jojo, but only super vague pieces of it. High off my ass I got home, binge watched like two seasons of it, and forgot everything that happened after the first episode. So I managed to get through the first season (again) before I got caught up in other things (ahem, pokemon) Not to mention that its normal to want to share something you like with other people. Back when I read books regularly I used to keep a list of books to recommend to my friends.

The Demon Slayer fandom is bad cuz too many spoilers :(  Okay? This... This doesn’t a toxic fandom make. Yeah it’s shitty, but like full fucking on- that’s not toxic?

The Dragon Ball fanbase is toxic because people think Goku is the strongest and argue about it, and it’s dying, but like I’m also proof that DBZ fans aren’t bad! Okay? And? Like I full on mean that. I’m a Dragon Ball fan and let me tell you- I’ve literally never seen a single fucking person actually say anything like that unironically- or during a power leveling video that’s an actual discussion about power scaling. Not to mention that for the most part people watch shows for the actual show? Like the plot, characters, storyline- ya know, the actual fucking show?

The Attack on Titan fanbase is toxic because fans sent death threats to the author for ending the manga. Jesus fucking christ- okay, yeah that’s toxic! So... where’s the catch? They also wrote their own endings to the manga. I swear to GOD- WHAT THE FUCK. Fanfiction has existed forever you ignoramus, bleach-snorting, styrofoam eating IDIOT. Seriously, I literally fucking rewrote the entirety of Naruto (Multiple Times over) are you gonna say that I’m Toxic? How about the multiple other hundreds of people who have literally rewritten entire works of fiction.

Now, what do I consider toxic fanbases? The top three are: Undertale, Homestuck and Steven Universe. The Undertale fandom managed to be so bad that people were actually kinda scared of it. Not to mention that it is a good game, people just went a bit too far. If you killed anyone people would send death threats, Markiplier (a really cool youtuber) had people yell at him for giving Sans a southern accent, and I mean the fact that it’s so big made it worse. The Homestuck fandom had many bad moments where some fans caused harm to others, damaged products, the girl who nearly killed herself trying to dye her skin for a cosplay, AND LITERALLY CHANGED THE CONVENTION FIELD. The Steven Universe fandom nearly killed a fan because she drew a fat character thin, they turned on the fucking creators for saying this was bad, multiple racist, sexist and homophobic things just existing while people pretend to be fake woke.

And this has been- I literally knew all of the bad fandom stuff because I lived through it. Problem is, I lived through the popularity of every single anime on this list while actively in more internet spaces, and I don’t fucking see it. Seriously, when I think of toxic anime fanbases I think about anime like Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, where a bunch of 30 year olds get horny over a child and then say that they’re fine because she’s ACSHUALLY 2,000 years old! I mean fuck, my favorite meme is literally the- “Men be like “You’re not a real anime fan if you don’t watch ‘Is it wrong to piss on my bunny sister’s feet?’“ Like- fucking exactly. Both these fucking articles have ‘I think that when someone is a little mean or says something kinda annoying they’re TOXIC!’ Like bitch no, when I think toxic I think of the gaslighting fanbases that end up with multiple people with mental disorders or someone dead- which let me tell you, is a surprisingly large amount of fandoms? 

Anyways so I’m done, mainly because it’s like super fucking late and I’m so tired

[hedgefairy]

So I'm stuck in Berlin, which, you know, it could be worse, but I really wanted to edit that 18th century breeches video. Anyhoo, now I have time and nothing else to do, so here's

Bridgerton, Episode 2

Missed Ep. 1? Here you go.

We start off with a birthing scene, is it the Dukey? It's the Dukey! Daddy Duke does some patriarchal screaming and Mummy Duke promptly dies, because of course she does, we can't have a happy childhood for the brooding hero, c'mon!

Dukey also has a mistress (present day Dukey, not baby Dukey). Is that Opera Girl? I have real problems telling these people apart, especially the Bridgerbros. I somewhere read that it's something that features extensively in the books, them always getting confused for one another, but in the series it just comes off as "these guys all look alike". Make it a plot point or something, but without it being acknowledged on screen this just screams "we didn't know how to make white brown-haired Regency bros look distinct"...

Where, Dreadlock Gent Extra in the background again!

I'm just not a fan of the colour coding between Dukey and Daphne, she basically does a Wendy Darling closet cosplay (don't get me started on that stupid hair... Yet) and he's all dark colours, it's all light female, dark male, even with their overall colouring (her being whiter than brioche and he being a POC) and character (she's a perfect angel and he's super broody) and I just don't dig it. Give me interesting shit, not this obvious sleeping aid! Also, Daphne doesn't even wear a spencer, girl, it doesn't look like it's that hot outside and you look like you're able out in your nighty.

Notes say "Horrid Featherington dresses, the spoon is def. not silver", which yes, antagonist fashion, and ffs, send the underpaid intern who didn't go get strappy shift Ersatz tops to a thrift store for some decent silverware. I can lend you some of mine, but ugh, really, its not that hard. The budget was obviously there.

Do we finally get plot? Eloise the Spirited goes walking with Penny and her hair just... isn't,and yes, she wants to go to uni (of course, because she's not like other girls™, don't get me wrong, YES, but I'm a bit tired of modern ideas being shoehorned into historcal settings because there is so much cool historical feminism and equality discourse and I'd love to see some of that in mainstream-ish popular culture), but Penny is very preoccupied with Cousin's pregnancy.

Of course Daphne's and Dukey's super clever ruse works like a charm, tons of suitors flock to Daphne's parlour. Lord B (you remember, her super asympatico brother who is a straight-up hypocrite) is super agitated about it.

Is that Dreadlock Gent in with the suitors?

Lord B continues to be a bitch about Horrid Suitor™ (who still has a broken nose which I very much approve of).

Oooh, shirtless boxing! AND gossip! Enter Lord B(itch) who of course wants to throw hands with Dukey. I really like Dukey's boxing bro, and the breeches. I want those! Well, I kinda made some, but the notes are from when I was just making them, so, err, yes. The notes also say "bad defense work, boring footwork" and I'm not sure if I meant Dukey or Lord B, but let's just assume it's both.

More Baby Dukey flashbacks! Daddy Duke sucks. So. Much. Let him kick an actual puppy already, we get it. Fun fact: When I hear Hastings (which is Dukey's last name, but I didn't bother remembering) I automatically think of the battle.

Yay, Penny visits cousin who's all rapunzeled up in her room for being pregnant. Turns out, lol, she got knocked up because church was so boring she started flirting with a guy and they totally hit it off (I'm not sure if it's canon, but I like to think they got it on in one of those confession boxes - idk if that's the term, I'm not catholic - or behind the organ or something juicy like that). Oh god, I hope they don't kill off the baby daddy because he's a soldier.

I refuse to believe in the existence of those high heels on the feet of that acrobat.

Lady B gets invited by the Queen and elatedly let's Daphne wear the family diamonds.

I just noticed that it's just Gossip Girl meets Pride & Prejudice. Ugh. I mean, that could have been a really good thing, but no.

Cool Old Lady™ (aka. Lady Danbury) calls Dukey out for dressing so drably. I like her.

"Make yourself terrifying" is a fucking cool piece of advice.

Oh, look, Dukey and Daphne are having fun while Horrid Suitor™ looks on, and Lord B tries to intervene like the little bitch that he is. Turns out Horrid Suitor™ is horrid inside and out and still insists that Daphne basically contractually belongs to him and I just don't have enough middle fingers for that shit.

We get another flashback of how horrible Daddy Duke is.

So the two women who are not into the whole (tiringly chemistry-free) romance thing are Eloise and Penny, one of whom walks like she's trying to emulate a seventy-year old with back problems and the other is the only non-thin person on screen aside from Horrid Suitor™ (and of him I suspect that it's to underline how very unattractive he's supposed to be). It feels all a bit very caricature-ish?

Horrid Suitor™, who has a shiner now from both Daphne and Dukey (I approve), tries to blackmail his way into marriage. It's just so laughably evil? What's this subtlety thing people keep talking about?

Wait, Eloise smokes? Yay! I mean, I don't encourage that, but in this case it's actual rebellion against the perceived ideal woman. Also, it explains her voice. Also, middle Bridgerbro gets a fucking line! WTF! I wasn't prepared for this! Their interaction is really sweet, I think its my favourite so far in the entire series.

Is the portly guy at court meant to be George IV? He's not. Aww. Also, cocain and/or snuff. Queen Charlotte is being ominous and braggy.

Enter Horrid Suitor™'s mum for gossip, because of course he's not only unsightly, of bad character, a sexual harrasment on legs and all the stuff, he's also a mama's boy. Which is bad, I suppose, because it implies unmanliness and being soft, which has so many unfortunate implications in itself. Ugh.

Cousin gets a line!

Eloise feat. bad "tomboy" hair (I feel personally attacked for some reason) and Daphne have a conversation about how they are super traumatised by their mother giving birth to their siblings.

Some of the background dresses look really bad.

Dukey and Daphne switch to first names, that's SO ROMANTIC! Aaah, the chemistry! (no.)

Ooooh, so Dukey not marrying is his revenge against Daddy Duke. His bloodline dies with him. Also, he just hadn't met Protagonist Girl yet, so it would have been such a waste, right?

And this concludes Ep. 2, which had surprisingly little in terms of annotations. I could delve more into the unfortunate implications of Horrid Suitor™ being a mama's boy but I'm still writing all of this on my phone and I need a break. So,

To be Continued.

Probably soon, because the trains still aren't going.

When I was 18 years old I got my first gaming console ever. Before than I played games at my friends house or when I was younger, NES and SNES at my adult cousin’s house. My mom was against video games. She said because we wouldn’t do our homework but I think they just couldn’t afford it. When my younger sister, by 12 years, was born she had not only a ps2 but hand consoles too by the time she was 7. I actually have a GBA that was found and I bought a cartridge with 100s of old school nes and sega games. Finally have them after all. C:

Anyway, when I got my first console, a ps2, I had to convince my mom and then they acted like they couldn’t afford it so when I got it was a real surprise. Then by a random coincidence my aunt bought the very game I wanted to play, FF9. The first video game I ever owned and completed. I had sampled it at a friends house and desperately wanted to play it all. My aunt had no idea.

Now, I am an uncoordinated mess due to autism so games like Mario and sonic, I could only get so far before the skill required was too much. But a turned base strategy game? Suddenly it wasn’t how fast you could press a sequence it was making the right decisions based on the monster and other factors. I could do that. I then started playing other FF games and I’ve only ever played FF10 to the end. I’ve played 7 close to the end but a big mess up made me not finished then I watched someone else beat it and learned the ending. I’ve dabbled with 8, 12, and the DS version of 3 but never beat because they were too different from 9’s system and I adapted to that far better.

Then I got into cosplay and I joined a group for a couple of years. It was mostly based in NJ, and I traveled back and forth by bus from Boston to NJ so many times to visit my friends. Whom I met because they did a Central Park fullmetal alechmist cosplay picnic and I decided to go not knowing anyone. But it was the best decision I ever made, I made a dozen friends that stayed with me for many years.

So they decided they wanted to do a huge Kingdom Hearts cosplay for AnimeNext (I can’t recall the year) complete with organization 13 and even a Mickey. (No Donald or goofy though, our Mickey was talented enough to make a full mask) I was originally given vexen out of what was left plus I never played the game. Then the person doing namine wanted to switch, and something drew me to her so I claimed that character and someone who really wanted to do vexen claimed him.

This meant of course now I had to play the game. Setup was a lot like final fantasy for obvious reasons but the fighting was not turned based. You need a little coordination. Luckily with a help from a friend teaching me at first, I realized button smashing and magic shortcuts were all you needed to get the job done. Then it became so much fun and I have gotten to add KH and KH 2 to my small completed games pile. (The only other game I ever beat was Ico)

The cosplay group was such a hit. I mean we had to have at least 25 people and it was a highly recognized cosplay. I think the only other cosplay I had as much fun is was when me and my friend did a white mushroom and rare truffle with see through black fabric for faces. Good times. Oh and I’ve also cosplayed Zidane from FF9 with a friend as dagger, another favorite cosplay that came out very well.

Anyway, KH3 came out last year and I took I crack at it. No problems, lots of fun until the fucking pirates world. There’s a mini game where you have to man the pirate ship and fight of other ships. The way you control it is entirely disorienting to me and I couldn’t get past a mandatory challenge with this battle system. Stopped playing and now I forgot what happened.

Since it’s December again that part of me that got to enjoy my first console during the 12 days of Christmas just gets an urge to play either ff9 or one of the KH’s. Since I replayed ff9 not too long ago when I bought them ps4 version, it obviously was going to be KH, so why not restart 3 and try again.

When I get to the pirate level I’m hoping a fresh approach might make the difference. If not I may have to beg the younger sis for her help to get past it. She beat the game in like a week. Her gaming coordination is on point but she got to hone it in from a young age.

Anyway this got longer than expected but it took me down memory lane. Hopefully I will be able to KH3 this time.
