#maybe this is a little parasocial

I honestly don’t get why the off season episodes of the layover aren’t as popular, I’ve been re-listening to some of them and they’re so comforting to me, it feels like I’m hanging out with the guys

you know sometimes I wake up in a cold sweat remembering the phrase ‘more than just romantic’ and feeling like I’ve been knocked down a hill by the reminder that Dan and Phil are like ,, actually together. it’s not just a weird online shipping two twinks thing they’re actual soulmates, companions through life, 4000 year old tortoises, RANCH, like a piece of furniture, like a normal gay couple ,,, what the fuck

anyway joel is literally impossible to predict for using stats because stats are just. averages. and joel is someone who has a pretty high skill ceiling and potential but also can just get really unlucky. statistically meltdown is one of his worst games but its also a game where he has come top 5 a few times (and 1st in mcc34!!) and when watching his pov you can see has a very high skill level (in hh he got the most freezes and in r2 got a double kill then triple kill then ace- which was also on the strongest pvp team- basically consecutively), but equally he has some games where he comes almost last (meltdown scoring is crazy unbalanced but we move)- and then this averages his placement out lower than in some games where he just does okay most of the time despite him obviously having a higher skill level in md. anyway i do think joel is super skilled and well rounded and genuinely a huge asset in a team but he is inconsistent due to mindset, team etc. (obv this affects everyone but i think sometimes just getting completely run down in pvp games at the start is really demoralizing and joel does the best when he's very confident and aggressive, so arguably it affects him skill-wise alot more than others)- so ultimately predicting him or trying to use stats to determine his skill level is virtually impossible! anyway the moral of the story here is joels stats are unrepresentative and if you judge him purely based on stats you Will underestimate him.

also joel if you see this theyve made the hard ending on pkw easier (inc salmon ladders) so if you figure those out you can probably get a few hard endings in the future/ i believe in you youve been topfragging pkw in all of your teams for a while. also dont hang back in battle box and meltdown have faith in yourself you're a pvp god.

spill girl why they whining

Omg so. A lot of the recent HT launches have had pretty much the same colors repeated over and over, but Specifically the one that was released on saturday! Really just, as a majority, shades that are near exact dupes for polishes that have already been dropped very recently. And so fans of the brand are kind of taking a minute to complain abt the way that a collection will be hyped up, only to be completely identical to stuff already in the catalog. Me, complaining and talking about Colors are two of my favorite things, so I was gonna read all of it anyway, but I also totally agree. Also the last color story is kind of not a complimentary color palette, imo. Brown, aqua, neon pink/coral, yellowish taupe, and primary purple?

In particular, these two "new" shades are the ones making everyone lay on the ground dead, bc they are just. There's an ultra bright coral and an ultra bright aqua shade in like every release.

Brands obviously will make multiple polishes in a similar color family- especially once they have a large catalog. But HT has a ton of color families they haven't even touched yet, in favor of making mostly Purples, Blues, Aquas, and Corals. Ppl aren't loving these two either tbh:

The sorta Sandy color, I do think is different Enough, but the purple is very... tsk tsk... Because the brand also just dropped a purples-only release very recently. I think it's interesting to see! Because HT is a newer brand, only around for a few years- and, ultimately, an Influencer Brand. Since it's owned by one person, and the creator of this brand is designing the polishes herself, there's an element of just. Making a lot of polish in her personal fav colors! Which normally end up being very saturated, very cool toned, with a strong preference for purple.

this guilt thing people are feeling about ttpd and the eras tour is very funny to me. taylor can "call" us out all she wants I'll never feel guilty for trashing her taste in men because at the end of the day we were right

Am listening to a Tootie-vod and she started talking about falling asleep to other people's streams and how it's like hanging out with friends in a relaxed setting until you fall asleep, like a sleepover

and it was such a difference to every single hermit whose reaction when people fall asleep to them is to get sad/upset and go "oh so I'm boring?" and everytime I just want to grab them and shake them until they stop being overdramatic

No, it means you're safe. You're a friend (parasocial) and we're hanging out until we fall asleep. Like a sleepover, except you're on the other side of the world.

I listened to the ABG Podcast with Steven the other day and it’s so nice to hear from him about his work in both BuzzFeed and Watcher, how his upbringing shaped the path he took to become a creator, and how ingrained (and important!) he is within the AAPI community. I think people tend to forget that Steven had been in the industry for a long time and is a highly respected figure.

I miss every mutual who has deleted… sending love into the atmosphere. Hopefully, distantly, they’ll feel it

Watching Avatar the Last Airbender...

Politely reminded of the time people wanted my head because I said that ATLA ruined storytelling because some people can't fucking think critically of media before trying to tell you what's so good about it.

I LOVE AtLA! Adore it! But like.... A majority of people watched Zuko switch sides and said, "Damn... What if we redeemed ALL the villains?" Without realizing Zuko wasn't a true villain in need of redemption.

But... The Redemption Game isn't truly JUST the fault of AtLA... There was a shift in the Moral of the Story. Idk how to explain it bc I'm half asleep, but like...

number of days since i opened Pinterest and the first post i saw was an edited image of Neil Cicierega or a personal image reposted from his personal social media with the caption "OMG IS THAT NAIL CIGARETTE? 😍😍😍" and people in the comments calling him a fictional character: 1 0

bro they are literally visiting a fancy ass house that i have been to. this is UNFAIR.

kinda depressing to think about glenn, growing up in probably the most homophobic, racist, xenophobic, christian state in america, young and queer and hiding it, listening to david bowie and realizing that maybe being who he is, is ok

Last post for tonight I swear but I'm thinking about that one post about how dungeon meshi feels like ryoko kui just playing around with her oc's (in a good way) moreso than most manga. Cause that's also exactly what bsd feels like to me. The whole series is truly just asagiri taking his little author guys and putting them in situations and I eat it up
