I keep seeing fanarts of ppl's OC's being on the ship, so do you think that if there was 6st crewmember (specifically, another woman) Anya would've been more safe? Like, someone to actually call Jimmy's begaviour out, someone Anya might wanna trust? Is there a possibility something might have changed (even if a little) or it would not have mattered at all?
-đ
I feel like the game would make it part of the commentary on where she would believe and help Anya but still be sort of dismissive? Like the whole âdonât waste time crying and being scared keep going and move on, donât let him winâ. Itâs supposed to be positive and reinforcing but sometimes it does more damage in those times of mourning and grief, it feels patronizing, like you donât understand what youâre going through but they do. Even if they did call out his behavior itâs still on Curly to act and while another voice would help, itâs still 4 against 2 on guys that donât get it until they have to vs women who always have to.
I donât mind mouthwashing OCs but I do get a bit bored as they tend to be borderline saviors or like Jimmy aligned. They are either more complicit than Curly or just Jimmy haters for no reason, outside of what the creators know about what he did to Anya. I am never irked by OCs but in a story like mouthwashing you really need to think about what your character adds to the commentary, especially if they are there during the crash. Itâs nice to have like characters on Anyaâs side more whole heartedly and interesting to see characters who placate Jimmy but sometimes itâs one note.
I canât and donât want to police peoples OCs itâs never my intention when I comment on trends I notice, but I do feel like the way people make their OCs interact with these two characters and especially Curly, really show a grave misunderstanding of the narrative and these characters as people vs roles in the story. Still, I know people just make up characters for fun and thatâs fine. Great even, but I guys Iâm focusing more on OCs that are supposed to have those serious dynamics. My favs tend to be pretty-Tulpar or post-Tulpar au OCs.
The inevitably of the crash is on Jimmy. He did that not because he wasnât stopped but because all his means to kill Anya were taken. The gun, the axe. Even if Curly did strip him of his co-pilot privileges and try to keep him contained thereâs only so many people. An extra body helps but they have jobs they have to do, heâs the only one steering the whole ship and Jimmy would likely have an out: food, bathroom, etc. Heâs not new and if he couldnât crash the ship directly, whoâs to say he wouldnât sabotage something else? A clunker like the Tulpar wouldnât take much. An extra person helps but itâs just another thing that prolongs what a person like Jimmy is willing to do to shirk responsibility.
Itâs more than just needing someone to stand up to him and think thatâs what is missing when it comes to inserting a character into the mouthwashing setting.
#like again most people treat Jimmy like a misanthrope and heâs not and the way heâs just evil/rude to everyone all the time just isnât real#like heâs snarky and rude but it canât be 100% of the time like hes not going out his way to instigate#heâs the type to say shit and hope it stirs the pot like Daisuke likes him at first#thinks heâs a bit of a jerk but he likes him like unless you specifically make a character heâs dislike heâs not just gonna be#readily antagonistic to strangers or at the get go#not to mention itâs not just about Anya needing a friend but someone with the power to do something#a point in why she confides in Curly is heâs the captain sheâs not just gonna tell the only other woman just because itâs still personal#not every girl tells their friend or another woman especially if they are new and they donât know how they react not all girls are#girls girls some can be just as toxic as the men they are being confided in about#the nuance of the situation is not solved by having more people who actively hate jimmmy if anything it would make him escalate further as#clearly has issues with how people perceive him and being liked like another woman who hates him thatâs gonna do something crazy in his mind#I think itâs interesting when OCs explore another side of the pre established dynamics as Jimmy uses each remaining crew member to fill a#something Curly provided for him and represent his dynamic with Anya and being an abuser I just feel like a lot is being missed out on#and itâs mainly cause people donât want to make OCs that arenât great people like itâs okay to have a grey mediocre OCs in situations like#this its realistic and helps you write more grounded characters like idk i like the ocs but eh im not like a super fan#I really should make an analysis on Jimmy cause people hate discussing him and his character is being really misunderstood#like not saying sheâs innocent or an excuse but just not getting how he is supposed to work like heâs no dick fucking dasteredly#heâs a shitty guy who gets shittier like he ainât start out an avengers level threat#mouthwashing#đ anon#mouthwashing game#ask#anya mouthwashing#curly mouthwashing#jimmy mouthwashing#mouthwashing oc#now I gotta make an oc just to prove myself but I canât draw#so maybe not cuz whatâs the point if I canât explain the fly drip

The fact that Restoration actively makes me, a known shisno trilogy hater, want to rewatch the Shisno trilogy says a lot
Shisno trilogy Iâm so sorry I ever doubted you (except you season 16, I still donât like you)
#jadey speaks#rvb#red vs blue#restoration critical#the more I think about restoration the more I actively donât like it#at least the shisno trilogy understood that the reds and blues are actually friends and care about each other#the writing might have been ass but at least it had soul#and not just mindless fan service that actively misunderstood what made the fans like the show in the first place#maybe this was Burnies plan all along to get us to appreciate the shisno trilogy đ¤Ą

It did strike me today in light of all the discussion about âCassandraâ how time and again Taylorâs been accused of things or had her claims dismissed or ridiculed only to eventually be proven right amidst deafening silence, and that the silly ~tea~ from the Ice leaked texts is yet another example of it because it confirmed the Karma collab long predated the MH situation even though she was accused of using Ice as cover for the whole ~scandal~ when it was finally released and idk. (Even though itâs obvious it would have had to have been recorded long before because it takes months to plan and execute these things.) Again she just isnât given the benefit of the doubt other artists do or the grace when the accusations lobbed against her are disproven. âDo you believe me now?â Indeed.
#like again Iâm not condoning anything about mh just to be clear lol#Iâm just saying his personal shit is separate from the shit Taylor dealt with#and again she does things in good faith and then sheâs torn to bits for it#(like the timing was unfortunate for it all ngl but it was an unfortunate coincidence not cunning)#like dragging that man into all this when he had nothing to do with Taylor and iceâs work is so frustrating#idk where Iâm going with this but it just struck em#also if i have the timeline wrong then sorry lol#i read the screenshots but maybe i misunderstood did#idk

i know astrology is fake but i'm not too keen on how a lot of people on this website seem to be clowning on it as a hobby a bit too hard. i swear the woman who thinks it's neat how she and her friends with the same sun sign are all similar isn't trying to say that you are who you are born as and there is nothing you can do to change it. it's a hobby. an interest. what happened to finding meaning and joy in the small things. does it affect you if someone enjoys tarot reading or crystals. does it make you upset someone has interests that they enjoy.
#im not saying astrology/tarot/crystals/etc. get clowned on so much bc theyre hobbies mostly enjoyed by women But....#i saw a post about some astrology study and made the mistake of opening the notes on that bad boy#not fun. and that reminded me of that old post that was basically like ''liking astrology is transphobic''#anyways idk maybe its just that my bestie is very much a ''crystal girl'' but like. stuff like that are such neat hobbies#she makes some cute little jars with pretty rocks and they make her feel better bc if you believe in something you can make it happen#when it comes to small things#like yeah if you pick up a stone that's like ''this can help you be more open with your emotions'' and you are like ''oh hell yea!''#ofc that will be on your mind and the item will be a constant reminder and actually help you with your goals#and its like. ok what really stuck with me was when i was talking with my bff and i was like ''i think all this stuff is interesting but i#feel bad bc i am superstitious and believe in some signs like lucky numbers but i know that logically its just. if i pick a lucky number of#i pay extra attention to it but i want to believe its lucky but i know how human brains work in that aspect''#and she was just like. ''so? those things dont have to exclude each other'' and it clicked#if i have a little tigers eye with me it does not make me feel more grounded magically#but if i decide (or believe) it's grounding then it will b bc it's a reminder for me to calm down#and stuff#like. ah idk how to put my thoughts into words#but i just think its unfair that a few rotten apples have ruined the perception of fun hobbies for a lot#not every astrology enjoyer is trying to sell you mlm essential oils or genuinely believe peoples entire lives are dictated upon the stars#or something#idk i just feel like these things are v misunderstood even tho im not personally like super into them myself#but ppl super mean about that stuff arent invited to look at my medieval themed fortune telling cards#idkk im sleepy and cant articulate my points someone else say this but better#leevi talks#im just saying. i dont think its bioessentialism to decide to believe you personally have a season for growth when the stars are in a#certain position or whatever

I'm gonna be brave and say it. I thought afk journey was gonna hit us with some goth and spooky heroes. Turns out they're villains in the storyline. Yes, this is about the graveborns and hypogeans. Yes, my disappointment is immeasurable.
#afk journey#at least so far they're all fucked up little villains#and so far they dont even feel misunderstood villians#they're just insane pure chaos (derogatory) and terrible#maybe things will change with this season on as I raise their affinity levels#they will continue to be my favorites#just wanted some goths zombie like things in a game to not be evil

i like vows & vengeance well enough but i do wish that rather than a full story featuring an independent protagonist, they had done small side stories for each of the companions pre-game (without needing to connect them to that protagonist). if the selling point of the podcast is the companions then I want to hear about them, not have them be minor features in another character's story.
#britt says#vows & vengeance spoilers#not really but i want some sort of tag for this and dont want it in the main tag#but yeah maybe i misunderstood but it felt like the advertising leaned heavily on companion presence that just isnt there#and i dont dislike the main characters of the podcast they're just not who im looking to hear about#if anything having an out of game protag be a connecting point between all the companions (and the antagonist) who ISN'T rook feels weird#obviously they're not starting a crew with nadia but she'll still be a central connection between all of them#maybe im just sad we havent heard more about who rook can be and there's a player envy if that makes sense#anyway its a nice show overall just not exactly what i was hoping for

me after reading four poems by internationally beloved, critically acclaimed, insanely influential 19th-century poet charles baudelaire: wow this guy's emo lol
#why did we not read more of his shit in high school. this is speaking to the emo teen inside of me#the second poem in the collection is about how poets are MISUNDERSTOOD and HATED BY SOCIETY#but it's okay because this christlike suffering infers upon them a transcendent sainthood đ#the third poem is also about how hard it is to be a poet in this mundane world that doesn't understand the poet's vision#and it. is. a banger.#obsessed.#my posts#french#i can't even figure out how to describe how influential he is you guys. i am underselling it#i have a copy of an english translation of les fleurs du mal that i bought by accident kind of#and i'm thinking of maybe reading some of the translated poems after the originals#because i'm fascinated by the concept of translating poetry and i'd like to see what is retained & what is transformed & what is dropped#but it's so hard to get past the title. the flowers of evil? it sounds so stupid.#i've been trying to figure out why and i think it's the extra syllables? flowers and evil are both 2 syllables#whereas all the french words are 1 each#i don't know. i'm workshopping it

s5 episode 5 thoughts
itâs been a few days. and you KNOW what iâm craving!!!Â
ohhhh this episode⌠so iâve heard about this one before. specifically it was brought up a lot when i voiced my complaints with small potatoes, with a lot of commenters comparing it to this episode. so that doesnât fill me with a sense of joy and anticipation.
well, i had a nice day. the only way out is through. letâs see if this makes me as mad as small potatoes, shall we?
(author's note: i have many, many questions. i mean i can tell that this was an homage to old spooky movies but beyond that: huh?)
why now in the series? who came up with this? why do multiple episodes explore the concept of forced impregnation as something silly and harmless? why did the agents look so good in black and white? have they danced together before? do you believe in life after love?
let us take it from the top.
we begin with a comic book, it seems? inside is a black and white scene. is this whole episode in black and white? i looked at the image for the episode and it was black and white, too
this guy izzy is trying to go to a comic book convention, but his mom said sheâll kick him out. damn. being a nerd is hard. is this taking place in the distant past or something? well, the cars look older too.
(it was not taking place in the distant past... also, i thought izzy's mom, mrs. berkowitz, was mean at first because she joked about kicking him out, but she was actually the best character in this episode)Â
later that night we see their home, including a photo of izzy with a pig, but sheâs watching jerry springer. which seems anachronistic to the black and white setting. itâs an episode about a hairy baby. while the windows are being covered up with a sort of striped tent??? and something is smoking.Â
enter cher???? no, enter someone else as cher plays. i do like when they put music in the episodes.
mom is coughing while a man with two faces comes to get her???
i mean, okay, the song slaps. i am unfamiliar with the work of cher and i was jamming out to it, even if i had no idea what was really going on except that maybe izzy made a frankenstein dupe in a comic, and it somehow came to life and hurt his mom. sure. why not?
the intro was shortened... you still canât fool me.
the whole episode is in black and white????
OH GOD. this lady felt a presence in the room, woke up three days later and was pregnant??? with izzy???Â
so frankenstein is the father????? and it happened again??? and she heard cher when it went down??? man. man what.
scully is reading this letter⌠LMAO mulder was mentioned on the jerry springer show episode about the wolf baby, which is how she found him <- BAHAHA this cannot be good for his covert work!!!!Â
her name is mrs. berkowitz and she is pouring our agents a soda as they enter her home. it is very kind to offer them caffeine as they rely so heavily upon it. and she wants to know about the wolf baby. it feels very weird to hear mulder do the medical talking.
WHAT THE HELL??? she is somehow pregnant again despite having a tubal ligationâŚ. hey what. how is she not losing her mind? scully looks utterly gagged.Â
the camera work here is so different, there are these intense closeups on the character with a sort of fisheye effect, it's both off-putting and cool
mrs. berkowitz says mulder knows what is happening, but he says heâs not even sure if he believes in aliens anymore??? he has to be lying. or does he actually believe that everything was faked as put forth by the redux trilogy? i thought he saw through that when he told CSM to go fuck off. also, i KNOW he is not dead.
sorry, but scully looks so good in black and white and a pinstriped suit. ohhhh my god.
anyway, scully says hmm, your description of the intruder is funny... because it MATCHES THIS COMIC BOOK CHARACTER FROM IZZYâS ROOM!!
izzy created that comic book character⌠so the plot is thickening???Â
enter izzy. we must confront him with this fact. he says that heâs seen âthe great mutatoâ too, and that plenty of people have!! is he hanging in the neighborhood?? doing evil activities??? he's like, a real guy? and not some mysterious intruder???
cut to izzy outside with a peanut butter sandwich, luring in the beast
âi think what weâre seeing here is an example of a culture for whom daytime talk shows and tabloid headlines have become a reality against which they measure their lives- a culture so⌠so obsessed by the media and a chance for self-dramatization that theyâll do anything in order to gain a spotlightâ (twirling my hair... kicking my feet a little... hey scully...)
âi am alarmed that you would reduce these people to a cultural stereotypeâ <- YEAH YOU TELL HER MULDER âźď¸
theyâre fighting about if this is possible or not and frankly i think they should just kiss about itÂ
(about the rumors, he says:) âbut nonetheless unverifiable, and therefore true in the sense that theyâre believed to be trueâ hey. when they talk all academic?? i'm swooning.
and theyâre soooo close as they're fighting over all of this <3
âis there anything that you donât believe in, mulder?â <- i was really looking forward to hearing him answer that, but no!! a distant moaning cut him off!!
scullyâŚ.. oh my godâŚâŚ.. nothing to note here in terms of plot, sheâs just pretty
the great mutato EMERGES for his sandwich!! and mulder is in trackstar mode absolutely SPRINTING, coat billowing behind him as thunder crackles and his long long legs carry him into the woods. and scully is fast too, but he is so much faster itâs actually funny. that man was made to run. absolute horse DNA
oooooo spoooooky, mulder is running after the great mutato into the woods with scully not too far behind, and they canât find him!!
BAHAHA the old school movie effects are kinda endearing. mulder pointing âthere!â and then a dramatic crash of thunder revealing a silhouette⌠yeah, i giggledÂ
iâm not well versed enough in old movies to understand all of these references, but i bet they had the horror girlies losing their mindsÂ
but itâs just some guy walking a pig?? telling them to gtfo. well!
guy with pig sends them to his son???? who i later learned is named dr. pollidori. and who has a newspaper article about some experiment he did. this guy is looking like a stereotypical mad scientist. âmy father is a simpleton farmer. he understands nothing of my scientific achievementsâ <- okay nerd, letâs not get in a science-off with dr. scully⌠also, let's not be mean to your dad!!
this mad scientist dr. pollidori says he is going to remembered for his incredible discovery of the âhomeotic hox geneâ and i hope he is taken down by scully. i hope she disproves every single thing he says. and then spits on him. fuck this guy for real.
i paused to write that down and sheâs smiling at mulder behind this evil doctorâs shoulders :,)
mad scientist dr. pollidori tries to pull the whole âoh, letâs have scully explain my incredibly advanced researchâ card, further proving his evil tendencies, and she says it has something to do with growth. which is more than i could say.
he says he has to leave to go to an important international talk and she hits him with âsir, unless you want your scientific achievements to end up as a footnote on the jerry springer show, i suggest that you make the timeâ <- DAMN, GET HIM AGAIN FOR ME!!! i love when she puts people in their place.
i love this sort of "fishbowl/actors looking right into the camera" angle, because they look so cool standing like that. and i want to draw them like this, but i canât draw. so i will just admire them instead. yeahhhh. they look cool as hell.
so it seems that what this mad scientist fellow dr. pollidori does is torture fruit flies and act mysterious? while thunder crashes about. kind of a sick gig aside, from the fly torture, but i could be mysterious and be way nicer. i could be a friendly mad scientist. i know a few of those, and theyâre fascinating people!
so he fucked up some fruit flies and gave them legs in their mouths. that is rude as hell.
mulder asks âwhy would you do that?â (we were all thinking it) and mad scientist dr. pollidori says âbecause i canâ with another crash of thunder. throw him to the dungeons at once!!!Â
dr. pollidori says "it" (editing genes to put legs in mouths) could theoretically be done in humans. scully tries to assure mulder this really isnât the case, and itâs not quite that easy, but mulder isnât so sure
âgiven the power, who could resist to create life in his own image?â, mulder asks <- honey, you just need a cat. youâre not ready for a child yet. i know you want one so badly, but you sleep on the couch. it's just not the right time.
ohhh she got him with just that LMAOOOO âwe already have that ability, mulder; itâs called procreationâ <- i am very attuned to scully, as you can clearly tell by me anticipating that line
she says sheâs going to really see if mrs. berkowitz is pregnant tomorrow... i did not know that this was a service scully could provide. but i guess i should have assumed.
dr. pollidori has a wife??? her name is elizabeth. she wants to talk to him about children?????? but he says âyou know how i feel about childrenâ okay well elizabeth seems too good for you anyway, so??
âwhat happened to our dream?â âi think thatâs your dreamâ <- BABE LEAVE HIM!!! FUCK THE MAILMAN!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!
everything is so incredibly 1950âs coded in this scene, down to her little apron
iâm picking up a sword for elizabeth, why are you being so mean to her, mad scientist dr. pollidori!!!!!!!!!!! NO, SHEâS CRYING!!!!!!!!! DIVORCE, BABES, DIVORCE!!
but something is at the window?? NO!! STAY AWAY FROM HER, GREAT MUTATO, SHEâS HAD ENOUGH!!
diner time with the agents. seems the whole town is there and they are smiling at them. in an unsettling manner. oh lord, why is MULDER so good looking in black and white too?? someone put me down like a rabid dog.
awww, scully finds a newspaper and it mentions their FBI stuff⌠who snitched on them!!! :(
mulder is presented with an IMMENSE amount of food (he only wanted coffee!) on behalf of JJ (thatâs with two J's), and i still canât figure out the vibe here, because on one hand weâve got spooky silly mad scientist dr. pollidori, and on the other hand we have a rapist monster so. like?? hey???
some reporter character next to mulder is writing down everything he says and does. and this waitress gets right in his face to ask if jerry springer is coming to town. iâm uncomfy, youâre uncomfy, weâre all uncomfy.
so the newspaper article had everything they said last night word for word!!! who was sneaking around?? other than that person who was just sneaking over mulderâs shoulder, but we had not seen before??
izzy is being questioned for potential recording of their conversation and theyâre sticking their heads in one at a time LMAOOOO. mrs. berkowitz has had ENOUGH of izzy's shenanigans!
he pulls out a tape recorder, and their whole conversation from the night before was on there!!! and then mulder rewinds, and they hear the cher song???? what!!! how is this connected??? and they hear a voice singing along!!! itâs the great mutato!!! he wasn't even there when that happened!!!
SO WHO WAS RECORDING EVERYTHING?????
the great mutato is dancing around in the doctorâs house!!!!!
LMAOOOOO mulderâs spouting frankenstein analysis in relation to this case (hey. call me btw) and scully hits him with the âmulder, iâm alarmed you would reduce this man to a literary stereotypeâ <- yeah the roasting should be mutual
he asks who else would go to such lengths to get mrs. berkowitz pregnant, and sheâs looking around as if she has to gently break the news to him that "well, mulder, certain men love to hurt women", etc etc
scully is reading mrs. berkowitzâs file as they drive off, and everything DOES look true, both the tubal ligation and the pregnancy!!! when mulder starts driving the car backwards???
WE GET ANOTHER CHER SONG MOMENT as they run into a house that is covered with a tent!!! like we saw before at the very beginning with mrs. berkowitz!!! i think itâs dr. pollidori's house!!! and itâs filled with smoke!!!Â
the girls (the agents) are breaking in!!! have we considered that scully should get out of here considering what happened last time we saw this exact scenario go down????? sheâs coughing!!!!
mulder emerges from nearby, but nooooo!! they both collapse!!!!!! and the pig guy/dr. pollidori's father from before has a gas mask and says there ainât no monster!!! HUH??
dr. pollidori comes back to his home a few days later, and poor mulder and scully and elizabeth are on the floor in a heap, looking terribly hung over from this gassing. they must have been out for like three days!!!
mulder says out loud that he thinks that he thinks dr. pollidori's wife elizabeth was impregnated, which is crazy to say btw, but elizabeth seems deeply excited at the fact. and then he tries to stand up and confront dr. pollidori, but he crashes into some stuff. and people are so right, mulder IS my baby girl.Â
scully, meanwhile, is explaining that she thinks this is all some big hoax.
but mulder!!! he finds a frying pan!! and mrs. berkowitz also had her frying pans âviolatedâ, in his words!!
his tie is all messy and heâs stumbling around. we are given a brief insight into what drunk mulder must appear like. but a principled man, he has generally sworn off alcohol, so this is all we can use to imagine how such a sight would appear.
when they pull out an empty jar of peanut butter like izzy used to summon the great mutato, he proclaims that he found his smoking gun. lmao
ITâS THE DOCTOR'S DAD?????? THE ONE WHO WAS WALKING THE PIG EARLIER??? HEâS BRINGING THE MUTATO SANDWICHES AND CALLS HIM "SON"??? please put your son on a leash sir, because he is clearly committing crimes
ohhh confrontation time between dr. pollidori and his fatherâŚ. OHHHH choking is going on. the dad said he did "it" because he canâŚ.. terrible reasoning to make a guy, btw
mulder is back in the diner, and now everyone is avoiding his gaze, throwing things at him, trying to trip him!!! JJ spits on his plate!!! he still looks good as hell though.Â
THEY POUR THE COFFEE RIGHT IN HIS LAP???? RUDE AF????
now the newspaper is publishing that the agents think the monster is a hoax, which i guess explains his treatment. so do the townspeople LIKE the monster, then??? and so denying him is to deny what makes them unique? but hold onto that thought, because now everyone is running outside!!!!
THE POLICE HAVE IZZY???? he has a mask on!!! the cop says they've caught their monster. a cosplay mask doesnât make him a monster, you utter fools. mrs. berkowitz is a good mom though; she says she WILL throw hands with the whole town for judging her boy, and i respect thatÂ
oh, scully with the big reveal: the stuff on the frying pan they found at the doctor's house is used to knock out farm animals???? and farmers have to be on a register to use it!! which leads them to dr. pollidori's father aka the guy who walked his pig!!!!
the great mutato finds his father dead in the kitchen and mourns him, bringing him into the barn where he sobs and digs him a grave. it is sad. but. he still did those terrible things to mrs. berkowitz and elizabeth, so i'm not sure how bad i'm supposed to feel.
so the agents arrive, while it seems he is hiding up in the rafters. they find a puck of that weird gas that knocks you out, and mulder says he thinks theyâre too late as they find the freshly dug grave
OHHH they hear a creaking and he WHIPS out his gun, but does this thing where he backs up so he is RIGHT in front of scully⌠wait, i need to watch that again. yeah, it was good.Â
itâs the journalist person??? from before at the diner?? here to get a good scoop on the murder!!!!
but now the angry townspeople are arriving!!! lead by dr. pollidori! itâs very much giving gaston in beauty in the beast with the flaming torches. well. theyâre going after him. while our agents are in the rain. probably still enduring a crazy chemical hangover.Â
NOOOO!!!! scully turns around and sees the mutato!!! wow, she actually saw the creature for once lmao. that never seemed to happen in the early seasons
so they go in the cellar after the mutato and find a shrine to CHER NOW HOLD ON. HOLD ON. i have to pause and laugh. WHAT THE HELL. LMAOOOO
at least he has taste, i guess??
they find him in the corner and tell him to come out. scully seems deeply compassionate.
meanwhile, the barn is fully on fire as the journalist tries to write everything down. who will think of the sheep and pigs??? and even the chickens???
they emerge from the cellar but nooo, the journalist sees them!!! and the townspeople are invading!!!
the doctor says to let him go or theyâll burn him out. and he reveals to the crowd it was his FATHER who created him!!
mulder holds up a finger to wordlessly say âWATCH IT, WISE GUYâ while the mutato is trying to say something. oh he can fully talk. âi have never acted to harm another soulâ <- BUDDY. BUDDY WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING TO THOSE WOMEN????????
heâs monologing now, explaining he was the product of the doctorâs experiments. but his father rescued and loved him. and he tried to learn the science to make him a friend. also a horse is listening to all of this btw.
dr. pollidori's calls mutato a mistake which is rude as hell.Â
however, if iâm supposed to feel bad for this guy for saying sorry after being caught raping women, iâm not gonna đ it sucks that he was abandoned and unloved, but we still need to have ethics in our conduct
scully looks deeply upset though.
he says he learned so much about humanity, and about love; âcher loved that boy so muchâ <- well. yeah. i laughed.
izzy declares that the great mutato is no monster!!!! i guess that he is his father, so he might be a bit biased there.
mulder is troubled by the fact that unlike in the original book of frankenstein, this monster did not escape to look for a bride! he wants to speak to the writers
âthereâs not gonna be any bride, mulder. not in this storyâ âwell then whereâs the writer? i want to speak to the writerâ <- LMAOOO why did this feel like a dig at the MSR shippers, i'm HOWLING
we end with more cher as cars drive down the road. AND THE AGENTS HAVE THE GREAT MUTATO IN THEIR CAR??? heâs just chilling in the back.
AND THEY TAKE HIM TO A CHER CONCERT??? OR IMPERSONATOR??? OR SOMETHING!?? AND HEâS LOSING HIS MIND?? WHILE IZZY AND THE AGENTS WATCH???
AND THEN WE SEE THE GREAT MUTATO BABIES ON JERRY SPRINGER and when he asks if the babies are hard to love due to their two faces (rude??) mrs. berkowitz says âwhatâs not to love?â <- okay queen!!!! she may have gone through a lot, but damn she loves her babies!!!
and then⌠mulder takes scully, and they dance??? they dance??? i knew there was a dance scene actually because i had seen in mentioned before, but i am seeing this??? with my eyes???? oh my god???
they love each other man... and maybe thatâs romantic or maybe theyâre best friends and maybe it's both or some secret third thing, but that is LOVE!!!!! LOOK AT THEM!!!!!
and then izzy turns it into a comic book??
WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH LMAOOOOO
guys please be kind to me if you understood this because i did not. iâm half laughing and half soooo confused
????? man, hold on
again, i see the similarities to small potatoes as has been mentioned before. and weâre supposed to just feel bad for the great mutato and wave off the rape. which doesnât fly for me. and also why have there been two episodes with this theme now. what was chris carter smoking? and can we get him a different strain?Â
tbh, i really havenât listened to cher before but if nothing else this episode put me onto her?? i guess??
i donât have that same visceral sick feeling that i had from small potatoes, which i take is because we did not see scully as the victim of the violence this time around, but still. not great.Â
it felt like a huge inside joke iâm not in on. so iâm confused. and i appreciate that this is referencing old movie tropes, but that doesnât mean i understand them any better, you know?
but they danced :( they danced :(
i waited two days before writing this up to try and let some time pass and hopefully make my perceptions a bit clearer, but i don't think it worked as well as i had hoped. this has to be a record for most question marks per episode writeup. so i am going to NEED to know what the wider community thinks of this episode. and also what you, the person reading, thinks of this episode. is this a cult classic? am i simply too young to understand the references? or is there truly nothing to get and the episode is just Like That for some reason?
i was, all in the span of 40-ish minutes, amused, disgusted, enamored, and baffled. with different percentages of each.
conclusion: mrs. berkowitz is real as hell, mulder and scully look AMAZING in black and white, and i do not forgive the great mutato. also they danced, btw. not sure if you caught that.
however, if i may venture a guess: this episode and the last were more silly than usual, and i appreciate that. but, i actually do sort of know what happens in the next two, in a "describe it in one sentence" kind of way, because before i decided to watch this show i googled it to see what it was about... and i came across this plot point. and maybe they decided to do something a bit more light-hearted before coming in with the emotional devastation. although, that did not stop them last season, so who knows?
i am excited to watch the next two.
#they danced guys they danced.#um. yeah. i'm literally begging you to tell me what you thought of this episode because i'm confused.#but damn if they didn't look good. like REALLY good.#i'm glad i wasn't alive in the 90's because the casual misogyny in aw shucks he's a rapist but he's MISUNDERSTOOD would have made me lose i#we still have misogyny now btw. just it's a different flavor.#anyway. super excited to see what happens next which as i mentioned i know a tiny bit about#and i assume that if you follow this blog you also know what happens next#before i decide if a show is worth my time i do a little preliminary research so this plot point was one of the only things i knew about#before i began watching. and i wish i could see it with a set of unspoiled eyes but in my defense i wasn't sure if i even wanted#to watch the show at all so i'm okay with that fact since it brought us here#(i google lots of shows if i want to watch them which is why i know everything that happens#in house of the dragon despite not having seen it. because i thought hmm maybe this is my thing#and when i googled it i realized it wasn't)#ANYWAY. excited to move on to the next two. but to go back to the now: please tell me what you thought#juni's x files liveblog#the x files#txf

always so funky to be reminded that your parents might love you but they donât actually like you very much
#wasnât i supposed to leave that feeling behind with puberty?#anyway mama decided i have no christmas wish#the sad little guy who canât get nice things for themself also doesnât get to ask for them now during the âask for thingsâ time of the year#itâs not about christmas itâs not about material things itâs about looking me in the glassy eyes and asserting âyou have no wishâ#when wishing is all i ever do you just never create a space safe enough for me to voice them#blah#not st#iâm so so sorry that whining is all i ever do anymore and i shouldnât be so sad about this over and over again#iâm just. so small. tiny. and insignificant. i might not have been there all day and 99% of the conversations would have happened the same#i wanna stop feeling this way but i think in order to stop feeling this way i need to stop wanting to be loved and seen and listened to#by my mom. and i donât think itâs entirely human or possible to stop wanting that. so oh well#i donât know if i give them reason to like me. maybe i donât. this might all be on me actually.#if she knew iâm crying about this sheâd roll her eyes and say âyou know how i am. sorry you misunderstood meâ#why do the blows keep coming? whenâs it my turn to rest?

My goodness there is a lot of bullshit in the Jiang Cheng tag again.
#y'all really spend too much time thinking about a character you dislike#i on the other hand have severe jiang cheng brainrot and love thinking about him and reading scenes of the novel to back me up#so just to get it out#jiang cheng has at no point treated wei wuxian as a servant#he also did not abandon him right up until the moment wei wuxian killed jin zixuan and i think jc would've probably gotten over that#if it hadn't led directly to Jiang Yanli's death#again wei wuxian's defection was a fake ploy they made up to keep yunmeng jiang safe it is right there in the book#jiang cheng did in fact publicly acknowledge the debt he and wei wuxian owed to wen ning and wen qing (at least the amount he was aware of)#but was steamrolled over by the other sect leaders especially Nie Mingjue#talking about the wen remnants they were not just old people and kids like in the drama but actually cultivators#and it is very possible that they were part of the invading force of Lotus Pier because Wen Ning was there with some cultivators under him#and even though I still think it was wrong of jiang cheng to lead the siege of the burial mound why is anyone pretending that it was about#murdering the wen remnants for him and not getting to wei wuxian#and this isn't to say that Jiang Cheng is completely misunderstood and all good#he is still a deeply unpleasant person with a mountain of trauma#he isn't as bad or selfish as some of you make him out to be#just like wei wuxian isn't as good and pure as some of you like to pretend#all of the mdzs characters are at least a little awful with the notable exception of the kids and maybe Xiao Xingchen#thank you for coming to my ted talk

okay, this surprised me from you -- no upper age limit on holding office? the judiciary is rife with cases of dementia where judges refuse to resign from lifelong appointments and horribly bungle cases. mconnell and feinstein are clearly political pawns/props for their respective parties despite being obviously unwell. are you asserting that obviously unwell people (judges w/ dementia, politicians having strokes) should keep holding their jobs?
p.s. w/ "obvious unwellness" i am talking about dramatic mental debilitation that is obviously hindering one's political role and causing huge negative repercussions for civic society. i feel like that's topical here
then... get this..... ban people with dementia from holding office. why would you need to have reference to age to do this.
#âthis surprised me from youâ seems so condescending to me lmao#you didnât think âhuh maybe I misunderstood and heâs not suggesting something obviously sillyâ?#oh also to be clear ultimately these positions should not exist at all

Has anyone here read the memory police by yĹko ogawa. And if you have do you perhaps know WHY the author keeps mentioning fruits so often after they disappeared?? The main character says that she wants to buy fruit to make punch, she complains about not having any strawberries for her cake, she writes about a dress made of fruit peels in her novel, even one of the books she burns has an image of a fruit in its cover. Is the part where all fruit supposedly dissapeared a translation error?? Would the amount of times fruit get mentioned stand out to me as much if I wasn't seeking them out or if their presence didn't directly contradict one of the earlier chapters??????? What does it all mean.
#the memory police#googling led me to a reddit thread where people were discussing this exact same thing#so im definitely not the only one who has been bothered by this#but also how could this be a translation error????#im reading the greek translation and the people on reddit were most likely reading the english one#what are the chances of two different translators making the same mistake in two different languages.#i guess i will never know unless someone here has read the original japanes one and they are willing to tell me what it says???#like maybe not all of them disappeared. maybe it was a specific subtype of fruit and both of the translators misunderstood. idk.#Al's ramblings#maybe ogawa forgot that she made all the fruit disappear ? it seems unlikely to me but anything is possible ig
