it's hell on earth to be heavenly them's the breaks, they don't come gently
#daniel ricciardo#dr3#went on a hike the sunday after the official announcement and listened to this song on repeat for probably 3 of the 8 miles#POV: me in the middle of the woods telling myself to get it together#while crying about a 35 year old millionaire before I end up passing someone on the trail and they call the police on me#so song is about how female stars are treated overtime and when they first arrive they're praised for being authentic and refreshin#but once the shine wears off and they're a little older and reveal imperfections or they struggle they become a target for ridicule#and then they're discarded for the next new thing in town and the cycle keeps repeating itself forever#which to me so closely mirrors daniel's trajectory in F1 in the eyes of the media#but also when you take the lyrics at face value they are just so daniel...#the f1 ecosystem and more specifically the redbull “family” are fake as hell#and yet daniel is one of their most genuine products who actually can't be easily reproduced (but by god they'll try)#he showed a great deal of promise despite coming from a place that really never should've produced a successful f1 driver#because the cards were stacked against him and nobody really thought he would make it#but he did and he gave us 13 brilliant years (and he has SO much more to give and do and succeed at and he will)#but the wheel of time keeps spinning and the cycle continues for the next shiny new toy that they can nurture and then destroy#anyway i'm not totally in love with these gifs but I need to be done w/them and I had to exorcise this demon that was making me sad

the way the ericson group were at the outbreak just a bunch of troubled kids who made various mistakes or committed crimes and were judged by a system that punished and abandoned them instead of giving them the support and love they needed, are then nearly a decade later put into a situation where now they must judge a troubled child for the mistakes and crimes hes committed against them. and 5 to 3 vote them out 😭
#twdg#i love the way s4 connects back to lees whole 'murderer' thing back in s1 😭 guilt...atonement.....systems of punishment#i love thinking about s1>s4 themes and crying#anyway this is partially why i hate when i see the ericson cast reduced down to 'just some teens' its so much more than that#them being abandoned in a boarding school for troubled kids is SO IMPORTANT its not 'just some school'#anyway its also probably why theyre my favorite cast#theyre literally one of if not the most mature group of the series even while being a bunch of kids who make choices i dont agree with#because they actually love and care about each other. even when theyre mad. because theyre all they have left#i do think the vote was a fair way to handle it even tho i still ultimately find it cruel. they couldve talked it out#but this is still a story that needs conflict to resolve so is what it is#they would rather they leave than have to face their confused feelings. the most immature thing they do. but understandable#they did such a good job crafting that cast for clem GOD an entire ensemble built around her and aj....delicious#zombie/post apoc media about love and community my beloved 😭#sorry but get tf out of here with that 'humans are evil and everyone dies' lame ass bullshit we are nothing without community#the amount of love pouring out of s4 is like getting my ass kicked but then they give me a big hug and kiss after and send me on my way#s4 my absolute beloved i really love it more and more every time. so much to appreciate even with it the way it is#the themes bro the themes........ the connections between seasons 1 and 4 you are everything to me#it speaks

what do you like about Suns the most?
they have a sun motif and they/them pronouns i think thats what got me HAHAHA. nah but morally grey characters go ham for me, like look at that dude just look at them. they get mischaracterized so often and it makes me fall to the floor in agony but thats part of the fun. but also the sun motif......
also i dont think i could pick a favorite. all their lines are so interesting to me and i didnt realize a walking calculator could be so airheaded (probably not the right word but i hope you understand) and out of touch sometimes conversation wise like uhmmm ok pal. i mean this in the nicest way possible but i think you got something....
but i guess them talking about being worried for spearmaster to nsh gets me in the feels. they love their cat sooo much it hurts i can never draw them without spears anymore
anyways take these doodles from awhile ago i love them
#didn't know they could make a walking can autistic yet here we are#I LOVE THEM SO BAD#IT HURTSSSS THEY ARE BURNING ME ALIVE HELPPPPP#wrathkafuffles#i was so tempted to cry about how people are so mean when characterizing them but i'm stronger then that#i'm a purely goofy artist but i promise i think critically about media i just... never show it#ok no more rambling sorry#maybe one of these days i'll write a whole video essay about them and their personality but today is not that day teehee

i hate to break it to you, millennials, but gen z does, in fact, know what dvds and cds are. we grew up with them. we grew up with a lot of stuff y'all obsess over, actually. not my fault all the tech companies collectively decided to get rid of dvd players
#you're not an elder you're 30#ALSO: WE KNOW WHAT LANDLINES ARE#I USED TO USE THEM TO TALK W MY FRIENDS BEFORE I GOT CELL SERVICE#BUT PAYING FOR A LANDLINE IS EXPENSIVE NOWADAYS SO THERES NO POINT#sorry but i just saw an article about millennials crying over how gen z apparently think dvds are useless#i mourn the loss of dvd movie home screens everyday#BRING BACK DVD PLAYERS PLEASE I LOVE PHYSICAL MEDIA!!!!#but like..make dvds scratch resistant. please. all of my old dvds are so scratched up and it makes me sad#omg i just remembered that my mom used to have a bunch of cds BACK WHEN CARS STILL HAD CD PLAYERS#tangled 2010 soundtrack cd ❤️#i used to jam out to my kidz bop cd on my huge cd player#ummm what else#unrelated but i used to be so jealous of my friend's mp3 player#also was super jealous of my friend's flip phone#i wanted one sooo bad. more than i wanted an iphone bc i thought flip phones were COOL#i had an ipod#not one of those stupid mini phones but like an actual ipod music player#i had 1989 by taylor swift on it#god i miss my ipod#I MISS WHEN PHONES HAD HEADPHONE JACKS. WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE#the only reason i regret upgrading my phone 💔#kez.txt

Horizon Zero Dawn spoilers but I don't think I can ever really be over Zero Dawn as a project and the truth behind Operation Enduring Victory and just everything it amounted to.
Like at the end of the fucking world, a year and change left to live, and a group of people dedicated that time to making sure Earth could have some manner of future. That even though everyone still alive had to suffer for one company's greed and stupidity there could still be something *someday*. It's such a testament to the part of humanity that wishes the best for its successors even if they can't ever gain from that 'best'. But on the flipside the secrecy that Zero Dawn had to exist under because they knew that no one wants to fight a hopeless war, not to mention the fact that people that worked on Zero Dawn were promised time with their families before everything really ended, it's sad but I have to argue that *surely* some people knew. Even if they didn't want to believe it or think about it had to see what they were up against or engage in one battle and realize just what was happening, and still have to have hoped there was something they had planned. And how Zero Dawn worked, technically. It gave humanity a new chance. Even if it's not all they intended, there are plants and animals and people and they're really living. They have such a rich culture so separate and so entangled with the old world and even if it's 'wrong' I know those that fought for Enduring Victory and worked on Zero Dawn would be glad something good came from all that effort.
And the cradle facility you visit kills me. Apollo failed and they couldn't enter and they could never *learn*, they could never grow past those lessons meant for children, and the servitors couldn't learn to treat them like adults because they were still children. They grew without ever learning anything new and they couldn't even know *why* because they were never taught how to handle that grief and the servitors saw them as kids you can't tell that kind of thing to. You can't tell them that they're the children of a lost species that's been dead for centuries but loved them so so much they lived and died for them to exist. And they were let out into the world with nothing! Their first time seeing the sun and yet it was cold and they were hungry. Everything was new and terrifying and they had to be so angry but they still lived and they did it. They made something new. They struggled and survived. Like, fuck, man. It's so heavy.
#spiced#media talk#horizon zero dawn#hzd spoilers#i won't lie this shit makes me want to cry when I think about it for more than 2 seconds at a time#idk i've been playing the game for my roommates and I just love this game so much#i haven't stopped thinking about the cradle and zero dawn since we got to those sections

so uh. that 2.2 Special Program, huh
#hsr#honkai star rail#hsr 2.2#hsr spoilers#hsr leaks#the body of this post reads as far less enthusiastic than i really am#i just don’t know how to casually return from my latest 2 week hiatus only to gush abt a game i’ve hardly blogged abt before#but i’m not making a whole ass sideblog for it like i did for Genshin. nah y’all r gonna bear witness to my fixation with this one#so anyways don’t mind me. vibrating into another dimension with anticipation for the next 11 days#it’s insane man. a year ago i Never ever woulda thought i’d be so invested in this game. and it took Months for the game to really grab me#but i’m v glad i kept coming back even when i was struggling to really get into it. like i just had this feeling that if i stuck around and#gave the game a chance to really like. come into its stride. i just always felt like there was Something there and i just hadn’t found it#and holy shit i finally found it in Penacony. the devs really truly outdid themselves with this region and these characters and this story#not to discount everything that’s happened prior. like i was genuinely Liking it all before now but i wasn’t Loving it y’know#but that may be more a ‘me having to fight tooth n’ nail to force myself to consume new media’ thing than it is a matter of the actual game#anyways i came here to talk abt the program! bc since i’m not filming my HSR stuff i’m gonna be insufferable abt it on Tumblr instead ! :)#and i’m probably not filming any more Genshin stuff. or anything else at all for that matter but let’s not talk abt that dead dream#pun not intended lmao. Anyways let’s return to the subject at hand while there’s still room left in these tags shall we#i’m so fucking glad they had Aventurine on this program man. especially since he’s leaked to only have 18 lines in 2.2… it was nice to see-#-him here at least 🥹 i’ll take what i can get. his unenthusiastic little bird noises at the beginning.. him being reluctant to come out..#the way one of the first things to come out of his mouth was ‘y’know DR RATIO once told me…’ like boy we get it ur in love with him 🙄 (/J!)#i love how they can’t go on these programs w/o talking abt each other it’s adorable. AND THE WAY HE WAS THE ONE TO EXPLAIN BOOTHILL’S KIT!?#they can’t just fuel my crackship like this… god and his whole ‘muddle-fudger.. son-of-a-nice-lady?’ thing had me wheezing#Aven mocking Boothill’s inability to curse was not on my special program bingo card but fuck i’m here for it#and Robin being all curious abt him was so cute.. ‘who /is/ he? … does he order milk at the bar?’ i’m crying she’s so sweet#also the trailer was fucking insane. which feels redundant as hell bc all of HoYo’s version trailers go hard but like. still. wow.#that millisecond long shot of Boothill surveying the skyline is so fucking good. also what the fuck is Jing Yuan doing here!!#not complaining at all tho. we’ve got JY & DH(IL?). Argenti(?). Boothill. Sunday. Aven. all my men r here and i am eating so fucking good#Seven.txt#viddy game stuff

ideas: i didn't really think of him being underwater but they deserve to have drama by crying there too so i just think you could say something about the composition being denser than water or w/e. proteins
i'm always like good thing he didn't try to exit asap via swimming in ciao alberto But What If He Did lol. just swim Somewhere else along the coast, maybe panic about [money??] & whether somehow this ruins school for luca, whether he can get in touch w/o it being On Sight b/w him & all marcovaldos, consider just kind of trying out other places, traveling after all...fascinating considering the other povs on the issue like: now there's the paguros to sympathize w/a kid vanishing, luca however in a somewhat more novel position there, giulia's throwback to alberto being a bit perplexing lmao, kind of thinking the best massimo could do is have a prewritten letter for luca to give to alberto If Possible, conveying something like i know you didn't set my livelihood on fire on purpose but even if you did i'd want you to stay. and luca in a position to do all of "maybe give the island fun facts so someone can check if he's there" & "wait & hope alberto can/does get in touch" & "have a lot of feelings"....not even the context of what this drawing is about necessarily, just tacking it on here anyways. ahead of time i went "heh now i Know they're gonna have it get little Real here b/c it's really about alberto wanting the security of feeling he can 'earn' a sustained relationship" then the short cleared & i was lying completely dead on the pavement
#luca 2021#pixar luca#alberto scorfano#love when like ''yeah ofc you Could guess approx what would happen; b/c of The Themes & things following them''#but then like of course it still manages to Surprise. feels apt when like ppl doing some savvy media analysis can Guess along w/the film#like oh we're gonna fight here we might have our secret revealed here yep. then get caught off guard by alberto but 110% surprised by luca#even as ofc it all makes sense & is cohesive w/those Themes that have been unfolding; not just breaking w/the material to Surprise us#but still unpredictable. the whole movie being so vignettey (god bless. i live) allowing for a lot of that too like just Stuff Can Happen#someone can guess alberto's dad is not in the picture really but you could think oh he's been killed by humans. No lol...#or massimo lost an arm to sea monsters. but no. oh my god & this is how i realize i didn't draw alberto's arm scar hang on lol#okay there it is. here we go gays (me turning in for some rest at 8:15 am)#oh i read this picture book in the internet archive abt like A Parent Expressing Unconditional Love via conversation w/a child. hang on#''even if i did something awful'' by barbara shook hazen; i did think of it here. let me obtain a quote for effect...#[but what if i did something really truly awful?] [like what?] [like playing ball in the living room after you told me not to & breaking#the vase daddy gave you for your birthday even if i didn't mean to & it was an accident? would you still love me then?]#[i love you so much i'd love you if you Did mean to & it wasn't an accident. / but i might also be mad & yell things like 'i've told you a#thousand times!' & 'this is the last straw!' & 'i've had it with your disobeying!' & send you to your room with no dessert... / ...& cry a#little & pick up the pieces.] [i'll help.] [but i still love you no matter what; no matter how mad; no matter how awful. & i always will.]#so long as it's commitment to Actual support which; massimo already On That even before realizing like oh bereft And you're of the sea.....

With the last couple years bringing us many very frustrating shows, it is so refreshing with good omens to be frustrated for the right reasons.
We're not frustrated with the writers for making nonsensical characters decisions that fit only with their vision of the show in their head and not what is actually on screen. No, we're frustrated with the characters for making perfectly understandable, in character decisions, that are only frustrating because we can see the whole picture as an objective viewer. We're never stuck going "what the fuck were they thinking" cause we can see perfectly well what they were thinking.
I don't know, it's just nice to be able to say "fuck you (affectionate)" to the creator, instead of "fuck you (derogatory)"
#good omens#good omens spoilers#just in case#idk media the last few years have made me so cynical#not helped by the 1 dimensional 'analysis' they do get when they try to go any deeper than surface#(sideyeing some of the aziraphale opinions i've seen about the finale)#but this was just such a refreshing season#written with love and care that we could feel#and it's nice to remember that media is supposed to make you feel negative emotions sometimes#instead of the impotent rage and disappointment i've been getting lately#anyway my long weekend starts in 20 minutes#so i'm off to rewatch s1&2 and cry into my pizza

I could not contain myself and asked my mother if she saw the homoeroticism in ep4 of Midnight Mass
She's so used to me now she just went "yeah definitely" and we started talking about vampires and intimacy and mused again about Anne Rice going back on her extremely gay writing
OH and we talked about that brilliant exchange where Father Paul asks Riley why he came back to the rec centre that night, and you get to see the changes in expression on both of their faces as Riley basically says 'Because you lied to me'. Wonderful stuff. Actors are so skilled at what they do
#midnight mass#midnight mass spoilers#I'm sure this is nothing riveting or like uhhh I'm obv not the first person to think any of this about this show#but when you hyperfixate it's like.... hmmm you experience things to do with the topic with stars in your eyes and it all feels marvellous#that's how it goes for me anyway#and that's fine by me. these tiny little media making decisions and acting skills and camera angles and writing and editing#make me feel fascinated and i love thinking through the possibilities and being wrong and right and interpreting ambiguity#during all the grief and in between all the crying every day I'm going through- I'm gonna take whatever enjoyment and meaning i want from#this little horror fiction series :-)#it's nice to feel good. I'm not tryna type out Amazing Analysis that rocks foundations. just sharing things that make me bounce in my seat!#engaging with movies and series and trying to notice all the work that went into every single moment of the process is so fun!!!

me when media gets bleak and despairing: yeah yeah i know the world is fucked you're not saying anything special honestly
me when media gives its characters cathartic resolutions: 🥺🥺🥺🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭
#personal crap#I'm weird like that i almost never cry at media getting ultra bleak i just go numb maybe bitter#but catharsis makes me cry easily bc it almost never seems to come irl#it doesn't have to be something bad looks like it's gonna happen and then something good does instead#i also love when you get an ambivalent ending with catharsis mixed in with futility#when it's all futility i just go 'so what the fuck did i get invested for then fuck you'

My P+ subscription just renewed, which means I have been on this Star Trek high for exactly a year now
#I really said 2023 is gonna be ALL ABOUT STAR TREK and it was!!#the Trek obsession went dormant then came back with a vengeance like November of last year#I went through an intense tng phase in grad school#looking back on the year I wouldn’t have it any other way#I got p+ and proceeded to speed run tng and ds9#I savored voyager and when it was over we started our Sisyphean delta quadrant journey#somewhere in my mixed up brain I KNEW voyager would be a problem and I avoided it#I have been ruined for other media#LISTEN Picard isn’t the best show but it was precisely why I wanted to catch up#still have yet to finish tos tas ent and dis for shame#also it was half price last year I cry for my continually dwindling bank account#I am actually very grateful because I was lonelier and more miserable before I started engaging in fandom now I am slightly less so#plus going to stlv and making/doing cosplay for the first time a whole experience!#if we’ve interacted this year (and you read my tags) hi I love you#if we haven’t hi I am intense but love talking to equally obsessed mutuals#also lol at meeting the actors Garrett wang taking a picture of me and Picardo being like uhhh ok when I talked to him#jin maley and Michelle Hurd are absolutely lovely#terry ferrell was very very sweet and I shared an elevator (and hand injury story) with Casey Biggs#and I bumped into Rom his-real-last-name-is-hard-to-spell#and marina sirtis called me love I cry#hilarious but also so cringe what is my life#also thanks to Star Trek for the paradigm shifting very likely autism suspicion that I’m gonna seriously pursue in 2024#ok I love you bye#melts into oblivion

Started crying over the Batman Beyond Animated Movie concept art. I am so normal.
#do they want my left or right kidney? they can have that one and my appendix as I don't need those to survive#I'm saving my uterus for Silksong if it needs more funding. I'm not gonna use it so might as well.#/j#about selling my organs not about crying over Batman Beyond Animated Movie#I think a Batman Beyond Animated Movie could fix me. Or make me even more autistic about it. probably both.#Batman Beyond is what got me into Batman. it was the only Batman related thing my library had and I thought it looked cool#so I would just watch Batman Beyond for like 5 hours minimum every day during my surgery recovery#so if you're wondering why I am like this...that's why. Batman Beyond did it. it's still my comfort media and i always go back to it#THAT ONE IMAGE OF INQUE CHASING TERRY?? OH MY GOD IT'S SO GORGEOUS#oh my god I am so ordinary and neurotypical#THE FUCKING PRODUCTION DESIGN GUY ON SPIDERVERSE POSTED THEM??#sav eme Batman Beyond Animated Movie#it will fix me I promise#if it is made I will forgive Bruce Timm for his weird thing for Batman x Batgirl.#SPIDERVERSE OF BATMAN MOVIES?? OH MY GOD#Derek Powers on my movie screen#THE SHIT THEY COULD DO WITH SHRIEK??? HOLY FUCK#I hope to god they still have the cold open on old-man Batman (world-weary and brittle-boned) almost shooting somebody in a panic#because THAT is the only compelling reason I have ever seen for Bruce leaving behind the mantle#I love content where its like 'oh when he gets older he becomes the Alfred to a new Batman' or 'he'll retire because Gotham will be better'#but I'll be honest. I do not think Bruce is capable of retirement. I do not think he would ever hang up the mantle willingly#unless he almost became the very kind of person who got his parents killed: a gun-wielding coward. the pain in his eyes.#I could see that. Bruce realizing that he is incapable of being Batman. That he will do more harm for Gotham than good.#if they don't want it to be the opener that's fine. but I want that damn scene.#ajdfl;dksajfl;kjdsfl;kadjskl;fjds Terry my friend Terry on my movie screen#I am going to explode

Every fucking queer love story I consume completely ruins me
#FUCK#probably bc I never imagined to be able to experience actual queer love stories in media bc growing up it was always a joke#but jfc even the tiniest queer plot#doesn’t matter if it’s happy or sad or boring or anything#it reduces me to a crying mess for weeks#most recently it’s tlou obviously#the last of us#bill and frank#but like San junipero on black mirror did it#or the haunting of bly manor#or… others but I’m drunk and crying rn I can’t handle it#lgbt#lgbtq#queer#tlou#fuck man even listening to abba and assigning my own gay story to a song makes me sob like a baby#or like maybe bc my first ever relationship was with a girl when I was 17 and I thought we were going to get married#and she was the love of my life before I even really knew what love was or what the queer experience is like I was just so overcome by love#and I WISH I could feel that way about someone again lmao#even though we were toxic and awful just I’ve never felt that overwhelming infatuation/immediate love for someone
