my friend invited me to go with them to a show tonight

and the thing is it was not good. it was a cabaret with some amazing circus acts but each of them got like. 5-10 minute slots. and were interspersed with 20+ minutes EVERY TIME of some of the most tedious standup work I have ever seen from the MC and the same 5 physical comedy bits repeated ad nauseum. this guy literally did a Borat bit. in the year of our lord 2024. he sang 2 entire rounds of the Family Guy theme.

and it just KEPT GOING. it was meant to be a 90 minute show, which imo is already a slog for a show starting at 11:30PM but within the bounds of reasonable. it finished. at fucking 1:50 AM. ALMOST TWO AND A HALF HOURS OF THIS SHIT. and it did not help that the 5 bits were all of the 'OH NO SOMETHING HAS DISRUPTED THE SHOW' variety which is funny for a bit, less funny when you're literally 45 minutes past the end of your scheduled finish and still fucking going.

HOWEVER. what I did not realise was that this was in fact. my friend's favourite comedian. and if I had known this I might not have gathered up my stuff and walked out during the curtain call and probably would not have announced on the way out, 'that was the most tedious fucking thing I have ever endured.' and I almost certainly, when someone overheard me complaining about the length and tedium and said 'yeah it ran a bit long huh,' have replied, at the actual near-shouting top of my voice, "I AM GOING TO KILL MYSELF."

I feel. bad for spoiling the show for them.

in my defence I have been very tired this week, I got home at 2:30 AM, and raked seating really hurts my hips so I was in agony by the end of the first hour. but mostly I'm just a bitch who loves to hate tbh.

So there's this story about a person who was born and raised to despise each and every human being ever born into the world. The entire reason for his existence—the reasons for all of his ancestors' existences throughout history—is to enact vengeance on humanity for their crimes.

Then that vengeful being, despite his best attempts not to, befriends a human man. He finds himself caring for one human and that human's younger brother, finds himself becoming part of their family, even though it goes against everything he is and is supposed to be. He finds himself loving these two people so deeply that it rewrites his whole worldview—changes him from a vengeful monster into something that hopes dearly for humanity's redemption and begs his father not to let them be destroyed.

It's a story about the power of understanding and connection, a story about learning to believe in the human potential to be good. And that story starts with one remarkable man who unknowingly manages to win the love of the personification of nature's vengeance in human skin.

The kicker is—that one man that befriends the monster? Who rewrites the vengeful being's whole worldview just by being beside him? He kinda fucking sucks, actually.

GOURRY !

I had the rest of the Slayers gang sketched up (hopefully I'll get around to finishing n' posting 'em and not just abandoning them 🌝) but decided to go with the GOURRY and render my boy first 'cos I ended up liking his sketch the most.

Cloud: I mean you were okay…

Reno: “okay” bitch the fuck you mean “okay”????

Cloud: you made me blush and all but Kunsel. God, I didn’t even see his face but I think I started coming up with excuses to explain to Zack why I was marrying his friend like,,, as soon as my brain worked again.

Cloud: he made me gasp Reno. He made the audience GASP.

Reno, stalking away: fucking wannabe ass Turk getting a better review than me. Little fuck. See if I care.

(Is my love for the helmet man coming through)

Reno: So if you had to rank all your non Tseng kisses in would at least be top three right?

Cloud: ……

Reno: YOU’VE KISSED SIX PEOPLE

Cloud: And two of them were Aerith and Rude like what do you expect

Reno: … Boss I’m going to kiss your boyfriend again and I formally request a five second head start before you shoot me

Tseng, already taking the safety off his gun: Three and that’s not including whatever Cloud does to you first.

thinking about that era of sonic marketing where they were trying to appeal to people who hate sonic/see sonic as a joke instead of actual fans and the sonic social media pages would do things like post memes about how bad sonic 06 is and invite the game grumps guy over to sega headquarters to record a song for the official sonic youtube channel about how much big the cat sucks . literally what were they thinking

Opinion on thor? I might be a bit biased but besides spiderman, he's gotta be my fave

he's hot. i love a man with long blonde hair.

i used to love the movies! in fact, he was my favourite character in the mcu before they introduced ant-man, but my interest in him kind of dropped off the same time my interest in the mcu dropped off... no offence to taika (i love taika) but i didn't like ragnarok, (have not seen love and thunder and probably never will) and i don't care for the new silly goofy thor - i kind of liked that his stories were one of the few stories in the mcu that actually had weight and gravitas or whatever. i liked that they were different from the rest of the mcu. but now all of the mcu gotta be silly goofy. and thor is a gamer. what is going on.

i really don't know very much about thor from the comics! what i've read about him is so disparate and he's kind of characterised differently in every appearance of him that i've read, so i don't know if i've really got a gist of who he is. probably i need to read a thor series from front-to-back so i can get him. would be appreciative of any recs in the replies! i'm fighting off a cold at the moment, and some new reading material might be good and cozy and healing for me...

did you get to the part of the script where they become victims of hate crimes in the hands of tadsfield people yet? some lady goes 'oh they're gay' and spreads the word so no one will take them in

I’m not there yet but I do remember it from the last and only other time I read this script years ago. They really saw the energy of the little girl calling aziraphale faggot and said “let’s take this energy and go wide with it. Let’s make it a much bigger thing”

I'm not gonna recommend Judith Ivory's Beast because there's just too much problematic shit going on re: how it interacts with North Africa (on the fetishistic side, not the "we hate Muslims" side, like tbh I was surprised by a throwaway line... from a French guy... referring to the French as oppressors, but nonetheless it's just a liiiiil too late 90s re: the language for me to go "YOU SHOULD READ THIS" responsibly, though I am gonna try more from her because otherwise it's well-done) BUT

I do feel like historical romance has a sincere need for more plots like "pretty high-strung virgin who can't drive and knows she's hottest girl on the block is betrothed to a man everyone says is ugly and tbh he just sounds like he's got an Adam Driver vibe or something and is also blind in one eye and Extremely Sensitive About It but he wants to marry her anyway because he's obsessed with making perfumes and her dad owns SO MUCH AMBERGRIS meets said man on a ship but he's in disguise because he's Extremely Sensitive About His Appearance and wants to fuck with her but ends up FUCKING HER a lot but only in the dark or when she's blindfolded so that she doesn't know it's actually him and not a "pasha" but then when they actually meet for the wedding she's like FUCK I can't marry this guy and he's like bUT EVERYTHING WAS GOING SO WELL WHEN WE WERE FUCKING ON THE BOAT 5x A NIGHT AND YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHO I WAAAAAS"

just without the "he's disguised as a 'pasha' part"
