I think this post was one of the reasons I was like maaaybe we might ditch some of the Sims 2 lore in my Lore Legacy save. I was debating on doing the Burb family from Unleashed. I liked playing them same with the Hicks, Roomies, and the Charmings. I decided not to for the three of them.
For one we already have the Roomies? If we don't I could do that; but I remember not playing them that much. I must of have ignored them like the Pleasant family. I never really read the little family stories when I was playing. I just jumped right into the household.
Only reason I did the Newbies and the Bachelor household again--because I feel like those households deserve redemption of some kind. I also, am in a bit of denial because whenever I played Bob and Betty always had a boy first in my games, then a girl. I never really had a chance to get Michael a family, because he was always a Bachelor in my game.
I feel like Sim 1 lore is something for us long time players had made up on our own. Then Sims 2 came out--with different lore, and Bella Goth missing from the Goth house. I think that is why I never played the Goth house at all in Sims 2.
With time gone on and me finding out more about the lore of Sims 2 and Bella Goth gone missing/murdered and whatever happened to Michael too. Is surprising to me. I mean it will depending how far I get into the research about it--will freak the fucking shit out of me. (In a good way, because I am aware of it; early on it gave me nightmares.)
Playing Sims 4 I fallen in love with the Landgraabs--and having them kicking out Johnny because he wanted to focus on his comedy. I found that out; word of mouth. I need to read what it says for lore for their information in Oasis Springs or ask them more and read what the pop up says. That is what Sims 4 is lacking lore.
I that is one of the main reason why I started up my Baileyy Lore Legacy save. To mix and match some of Sims 1, Sims 2, and Sims 4 lore together. Well, also my lore I remember creating as a kid to playing Sims 1 because it was basically your game--no one played it the same way. We had all our little various sims we created ourselves in there too.
As a Sims 2 player one of the most eerie things about playing the original game isn't necessarily the creepy/more liminal aesthetic or the repetitively endless gameplay, but the fact that almost all the pre-made Sims from the original game are inexorably doomed by the narrative.
There's something odd about Pleasantview specifically, where the majority of the returning Sim families live (save for Tara Kat, who seems... relatively fine). Like, the concept of the game is that twenty-five years have passed, and all of the returning characters are pre-baked into character arcs that communicate an unavoidable truth: You, the player, failed.
Bella Goth will disappear. Her brother (though in the original Sims we aren't aware that Michael Bachelor is her brother) will die, possibly murdered. Mortimer will be lost and alone. Cassandra will be stuck in an unloving engagement. The Newbie's daughter will be impoverished, a single mother whose husband died young, with two boys and another on the way. Daniel Pleasant will grow up to be a cheater. Jennifer Pleasant will never be an athlete like she wanted (her brother will). And though poor Johnny Burb never mentions Tucker anymore, you know that old dog died years ago. The Roomies, the Mashugas, the Hicks, the Charmings - all leave town... or worse, die out.
I think about Jeff Pleasant's bio in the first game: "Jeff and his family are new to the neighborhood. Can you help Jeff provide for his family and fulfill his lifelong goal of being the first man to walk on Mars?" And how it contrasts to Daniel's in the second: "Since his father Jeff died without achieving his dream of going to Mars, Daniel has felt an overwhelming guilt."
And sure, you can save the families of Pleasantview. You can choose for Mary-Sue to not go to work that day, or maybe Daniel never pursues Kaylynn Langerak again. You can give Cassandra a happy marriage, tame Don Lothario's womanizer ways. You can financially save Brandi Broke. You can get John Burb another dog. You can get Jennifer the career she always wanted. You can defy the scripted in-game prompts and say "No. I don't want to play like this." You can break the cycle, every time you play.
And yet, at the end of the day, no matter what you do... uninstalling the game and reinstalling it, maybe just deleting that Neighborhood folder, they are reset back to exactly where they were again. They're doomed to repeat it forever.
The game makes it clear that there are some things you aren't meant to change. A genie lamp or a Resurrect-O-Nomitron can bring back sims like Michael Bachelor, but you will pay for it in your neighborhood deteriorating to corruption. And no matter what you do, no force in the universe can bring Bella Goth back. The one in Strangetown isn't even really her, after all. And maybe she isn't. They say they deleted her in development, replaced her with a clone. Maybe that's what Bella Goth in Strangetown is. A clone. Maybe we were wrong, after all. Maybe she was never abducted by aliens. Maybe Don Lothario killed her. Maybe Dina Caliente killed her. Maybe Mortimer did. But you can't bring her back, no matter what you do. Recreate the original Bella, pixel by pixel, extract her data, make your zombie Bella. Build your own monster. Create a sim. But she will never recognize her family. Never see them as her own.
And she was never meant to.

it's so interesting that gideon opens his heart so quickly and completely and irrevocably to twig, while regarding mishka -- a parallel little sister/kid figure with some worrying hag magic attached, who also is in a situation similar to and has overlapping trauma with his own; they both have the scars of manacles around their wrists and are exploited for some inborn capacity other people want to make use of -- with such measured distanced distrust. and any reason you want to imagine there makes so much sense! it could be it's just too much like his own situation and he can't go there without getting into contact with things in himself he'd rather not feel or remember. might be instinctive flinch-away from still dealing with what happened to twig (and then jabberwock party wipe horror on top of that as a further attachment anxiety booster -- he didn't see kremy die since he's the first to go, but he sure gets to hear the story afterwards), and not wanting to risk that pain again so soon. twig meeting him at a moment where he was ready to let someone into his fiercely guarded in-group, and mishka didn't? just plain differences in personal chemistry (again... mishka is a lot like him in a lot of ways. perhaps. too much for comfort from some angles)?
if his trauma brain has decided that NO I've got kremy under one wing and twigsy under the other and sorry kid I only have two fucking wings, nothing is ever going to take this from me again while I'm alive to fight for it (the way they took my dad and my home and all those years of my life)... biggest FAIR ENOUGH GID! AS YOU WERE GID YOU DO YOU GID!! in history honestly even if it is a bit unfair to mishka
#once upon a witchlight#legends of avantris#once upon a witchlight spoilers#gideon coal#getting through the last few eps of s1 that I've been keeping as in case of emergency mood boosters awaiting s2#and this just stood out to me so clearly haha. kremy seems to have a little bit of a softer reaction to her but really MOST of them#have a very '....hmmmmmm😑what is your nefarious deal small child' vibe with her fhdsj. I guess it's natural to have some trust issues#considering the shit they're going through the last fifteen or so episodes I can't begrudge them that#can kremy look at her and NOT see some shade of gideon tho. the old lady trying to get her husband back sure woke something in him#I feel like this must too even tho being kremy he might not necessarily act on it in a way we'd consider like. helpful haha#I love the incredibly stark in-group out-group distinction that exists in gideon's world it's so fascinating#he's SO protective and deeply kind with the people he loves and a borderline monster with people he doesn't care about (most of them)#which means he's not only content but HAPPY to be kremy's attack dog b/c like. it's not like he cares what happens#to people he doesn't care about! check and mate happy gator husbandwife happy life. and yet he loves very sincerely when he does#which is presumably why he finds it so scary. all that and also the cake chad. a deceptively complex man#(kremy has a different hilarious in-group out-group thing going on in that his in-group seems to be literally just him and gid hfkashf#he'll do things because they matter to gideon but I think outside of the two of them there is no one but maybe the unicorns#that kremy would not sell to satan for one corn chip to save his own skin. I love you kremy you suck so bad you are my babygirl <3)

on the one hand, syndicate’s resolution of jacob & evie’s overarching fight feels sort of rushed and unearned, but on the other hand, if i was in an argument with my sister and then some fucking guy tried to kill her in front of me, yeah, that might not solve all the reasons behind the argument but it would make me go ‘oh! right! i never want to live in a world without you!’ and stop us from fighting. so that bit’s actually quite realistic.
#assassin’s creed#the pieces for resolving the fight are all there it’s just that they’re sort of clumsily set up last minute and then poorly put together#and also henry is like. fully unconscious being ignored on the ground behind them. which sort of undercuts the emotional weight of the scene#but we all know what i think about that already <3 evie shoulda killed starrick to death with jacob and used his lifeforce to heal henry#via the shroud <3 that’s romance babyyyyy <3 but that didn’t happen and instead it’s just really bad but reslly funny that jacob and evie#resolve their issues while their friend and colleague’s lifesigns are fully uncomfirmed behind them#funniest part of it is that it is Absolutely in character for them to do that. idiot twins with zero idea of what’s happening outside of#their little bubble 90% of the time because they’re too busy bickering. poor henry.#i mean he knows that about them he’s been dealing with it for a year but i feel like he would probably prefer if at least one of them had#made sure he was alive before they made up. akdhkfjfs.#underrated moment of all time in that scene though *is* that when they check on him his first words aren’t like. ‘holy shit i almost just#died’ or anything but instead. asking if he fucked everything up by being there.#that is so sad to me. given everything we know about his whole deal and why he’s in london in the first place and just. everything.#that his first thought isn’t ‘wow! can’t believe i survived that!’ it’s ‘i must have messed up somehow and i shouldn’t have tried to help’#that’s so fucking sad!!!!! someone tell him he’s a good boy right now!!!!!!!!!!#me. i’ll do it. i’ll write a fic for it. watch me.

5 times Stiles runs from Derek + 1 time Derek runs from Stiles (sorry to hijack your post but the fic inspo was so real)
Stiles has run away from Derek many times. When they first met, it was mainly because Stiles didn't trust Derek and Derek didn't exactly give him a reason to. Later it was because Derek was saving Stiles' ass and telling him to scram.
But the first time Stiles ran away from him and Derek had to urge to chase had been an innocuous yet sudden feeling he had to immediately stamp down.
They were in the middle of a pack meeting. Somewhere along the way, Stiles went from the token human of Scott's pack to a valuable member of his pack. Derek hadn't actually verbalized this idea in his mind. But his wolf knew.
He was in the middle of a conversation with someone else when an exclamation caught his attention. He turned around and his eyes were immediately met with the unprotected back of Stiles Stilinski bolting out the front entrance of his loft. Derek's entire body braced to run after him. Muscles tense and his wolf howling to chase. The logical side of his brain was the only thing that kept him locked in place because what the fuck was that? The sudden urge had confused Derek, but the full moon was tomorrow so maybe his wolf was just extra excitable. He ignored the fact that it's been years since his wolf had acted like this purely because of a full moon.
The second time, him and Stiles had been alone together. They had become unlikely friends that would occasionally grab lunch together which was a welcome change to Derek's usual solitude.
They were walking back to the parking lot when Stiles whispered, "Oh shit, my wallet." And once again, Derek's eyes were met with the exposed back of Stiles running away from him. Before Derek even had time to process it, he began chasing. The sound of his pursuing footsteps prompted Stiles to look back and Derek caught a glimpse of wide brown eyes and a panicked expression before Stiles began running faster. Now Derek felt like pouncing--
But the rational part of Stiles' brain must have kicked in the same time Derek's did because they both abruptly stopped. Stiles swiveled to face him.
"Why are you chasing me?!" Stiles exclaimed. He was out of breath from the sudden sprint and was gesturing wildly at Derek.
"Why were you running?"
"I left my wallet at the restaurant!"
"Oh." Derek was noticing a pattern. The urge to chase never happened with the other pack members. Just Stiles. "Let's go get it then."
He nonchalantly walked past Stiles who was still fixing him with a bewildered expression.
...
"Stiles, we need to talk."
Nothing got the anxiety spiking like those few words. Stiles and Derek were alone in Derek's loft post-pack meeting. Stiles often found himself lingering and being the last to leave these days. But hearing those words and seeing the stern expression on Derek's face had him wishing to be anywhere but here. Derek was leaning on the counter of his kitchen island. His piercing hazel eyes pinning Stiles in place. He nervously fidgeted before mustering up the courage to get closer and join Derek in the kitchen.
"What's up?" He tried to sound more casual than he felt.
"Relax, Stiles, you're not in trouble," Derek said with a frown.
That didn't immediately alleviate the nervousness stirring in Stiles, but he nodded prompting Derek to continue.
Derek opened his mouth. And then immediately shut it. He pinched the bridge of his nose closing his eyes as if to gather himself. This only made Stiles even more anxious because if it was something Derek Hale of all people had a hard time saying it must have been something pretty serious.
Derek sighed and finally looked up at him. "Stiles, you need to stop running."
Stiles barely held back the sputtered sound of surprise that bubbled up from him. Of all the things he expected Derek to say, this definitely wasn't one of them. "What are you talking about? Being part of the pack kinda requires the cardio. You rather have me briskly walk away when I'm being chased by some supernatural evil?"
"That's not what I meant." Derek paused before sighing again. He crossed his arms. "I need you to stop running away from me."
Stiles' face scrunched up. "When have I ran away from you? I mean-- besides all those times I ran away from you, but that was like before. I mean now, or like recently, I don't think I've been running away? I mean if anything I've been hanging around you more which is like the opposite of runn--"
"Stiles."
Stiles took the hint and zipped his mouth closed so Derek could get a chance to respond.
"Remember that time I ran after you when you forgot your wallet?"
"Oh yeah!" Stiles put his hands on his hips. "What was up with that?"
"Whenever you suddenly run away from me, I get the urge to chase you."
"Oh."
Stiles face suddenly felt hot. He cleared his throat before responding. "Uhm, do you know why?"
"I'm still working it out."
Stiles turned the thought around in his heads a few times. He was uncharacteristically quiet when an impulsive thought seized him.
He turned around and started sprinting.
"Stiles!"
Stiles ignored Derek's deep growly voice that called after him and ran as fast as he could. He barely lasted half a second before a sudden weight crashed into his back and had him tumbling to the floor. He rolled once before finding himself pinned underneath Derek Hale.
"Stiles, what did I just say?" Derek hissed.
Stiles' heart was loudly drumming against his rib cage as he stared up at narrowed eyes and furrowed eyebrows. He wondered how red his face was right now because his whole body felt like it was burning up.
"Well, you finally caught me."
"What?"
"You don't chase something unless you're trying to catch it. You caught me. Now what?"
Derek stilled as he stared down at Stiles still pinned beneath him.
Now what?
That was the first of many nights Stiles would spend over at Derek's.
...
The fourth time was at a grocery store. Stiles was over Derek's place more often than not and so today he got to help with selecting what to stock in the fridge. They were idly chatting as they approached the cashier.
Derek began to unload their grocery haul onto the cashier's conveyor belt when Stiles exclaimed, "I forgot the ice cream!"
A flash of movement in his periphery had Derek's wolf eager to make chase. Instead he shouted, "STILES, DON'T RUN!"
Stiles stumbled almost tripping over himself. He stopped and turned around just enough to flash him a sheepish grin before setting out at a brisk walk.
Derek buried his face in his hands after giving a quick apology to the cashier for his outburst. The urge to chase had only gotten harder to push down now that he was officially dating Stiles. His wolf liked having a mate, and he desperately wanted to play and chase and do a few other things with Stiles that weren't exactly appropriate to do in public.
He shook his head. The sooner Stiles made it a habit to not go running off at every random thought in his head, the better.
Little did Derek know, that the fifth time would happen soon after.
They were staring at the piles of grocery bags in the trunk of Stiles' jeep. Stiles shot him a doubtful look. "You can't seriously think you can unload all these groceries in one trip."
"Of course I can," Derek said. He began looping the plastic bags of groceries through his arms. "It's not like they're heavy."
"There's some fragile stuff in there. If you drop one of the bags because they rip, it's gonna break."
"Stiles, I got this. Just close the trunk for me."
Derek successfully held every single grocery bag in his arms and shot Stiles a triumphant look as the other shut and locked the car.
"Told you it would be easy."
"Yes, very impressive. Is there nothing your werewolf strength can't do?" Stiles teased. He looked back and paused. It was the type of pause that Derek had come to learn meant that Stiles just had an impulsive thought. And the mischievous glint in his eyes could only mean trouble.
"Stiles, don't you dar--"
"Derek, come catch me!" he called back with a smirk before running off like some small prey animal leaving his back completely vulnerable and absolutely egging Derek's wolf into a chase. It took every ounce of self-control for Derek not to drop all the groceries he had and pursue Stiles.
"Little shit," Derek cursed under his breath as he quickly stalked after him with groceries still in hand. If Stiles was going to insist on running from him, Derek was going to make damn sure Stiles wouldn't physically be able to for at least a few nights.
...
After the fifth time, Stiles had mostly learned his lesson. Or at least, he learned to be more strategic about when he goaded Derek into chasing him. If he was being honest, Stiles found it pretty hot when Derek would chase after him and toss him into bed. But he knew, it was best to leave the chasing in more private places, so he tried his best to not go running off when they were in public. Emphasis on tried. He would usually catch himself, but sometimes when his mind was running in a million different directions he found himself doing the same. Just like he was today.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Stiles began to turn away, but was completely derailed from his thoughts when Derek started sprinting in the opposite direction.
"Derek!?" he called out exasperatedly. He hurried after his retreating form. "Where the hell are you going?"
Stiles knew it would be impossible to catch up if Derek was seriously running, but Derek was quickly folding over in a fit of laughter when Stiles jogged up to him.
Between gasps of breaths he asked, "What the hell?" He backhanded Derek's shoulder which was still shaking in laughter. "Why are you laughing?"
Derek straightened as he collected himself. "I'm sorry. It's just-- I recently learned that if your dog is ever running away from you, you shouldn't chase them. You should run in the opposite direction and they'll start chasing you." He wrapped his arms around Stiles. "Looks like it worked."
"Derek!" Stiles flushed as he tried to wriggle out of Derek's grip but to no avail. He gave up and let himself sink into the embrace. "I'm not your dog."
"Yeah, yeah. It just felt nice to be chased for once."
"If you like running so much, maybe I can get you a ball and we can play fetch sometime."
"Really, Stiles? Dog jokes?"
"You started it," Stile quipped back grinning.
Derek bent down and buried his face in the crook of Stiles' neck. "I'd keep you on a leash if I could, but I guess I'll just have to settle for keeping you in my arms."
"You're such a sap. And you don't need to keep me on a leash." Stiles shifted so he could cup Derek's face in his hands. "I might run away, but I got amazing recall."
He kissed Derek.
"I'll always come back."
when derek warns stiles not to run because he won’t be able to hold back his wolf’s instinct to chase after him… and it happens almost everyday too. due to stiles’ adhd, when he can think of something he HAS to do it immediately. like when they’re out for grocery shopping stiles would be like OH I FORGOT ABOUT ICE CREAM BRB and then start running like a small animal. which can confuse derek’s wolf who thinks his mate is playing with them and wants to be chased and we need to run after him right NOW

Another Grant headcanon:
I think he wrote love notes when in relationships, and he went all out with like making the paper scented and stuff. But like he had no good perfume so he ended up using his horrible body spray. So like the lucky boyfriend would like find a paper reeking of the body spray like every once in a while.
Also I think he was someone who fell deep into romance because having a crush and feeling butterflies in his stomach was better than numbness. So he would pursue every crush even if he knew it would not end well because of the thrill of it. I think this sucked but I think he atleast felt like this is a normal way for life to suck.
#honestly I was thinking he continued the note thing with marco in college maybe?#and now marco likes the smell of the body spray even if grant found better perfumes cuz nostalgia#i think i am in my own la dee da world after this episode#where I think if willy takes a break from torturing the parents they should form a circle and become bffs#they should form a circle#toast to rebecca#and then just talk shit idk#i think they would be very funny as a group after they are done grieving#like cassandra would be like how could I have dated such a loser#he literally kidnapped like four of my exs ex friends and put collars on them when we were dating#and they would be like no its not your fault he is that manipulative#and then one of them would talk about their ex to comfort her#and then somwhow it would come out that willy is like the age of their grandparents#and cassandra would be like why did this senior citizen get me so bad#he told me to make him a sandwich and I#a multimillionaire made him a sndwich#this will probably never happen in canon#dndads#grant wilson#dungeons and daddies#the tags are their own seperate post at this point#dndads s2#all the spouses knew willy as a nice guy who saved them#rebecca was the only one who suspected him so thats why he killed her#they must be feeling so duped getting tortured except for marco who saw him kill a man#cassandra has been feeling duped since heaven#this is killing me all of them are having conversations in my head now the comedy and the pain is killing me mostly the comedy#marco li wilson#grant li wilson#anu posts

Being in a long distance relationship long term is so fucked up. For context for people in bigger countries I'm not talking flying distance from each other, I'm talking about 3 hrs apart on the train, so not that far arguably. But still far enough that our lives are almost completely separate in the practical sense, no matter how much we talk on the phone or meet halfway. When one of us stays over at the other's place we are still guests in each other's homes. I still don't know what cohabiting would be like and what a comfortable normalicy of being in each other's lives in person every day would be like. We're coming up to our 11th anniversary. I don't want to break up with him!!!! I love him deeply and I've never met someone I'm as compatible with as him. I've never been in love like this and I'm not easy to know, and yet he does know me and likes what he sees. I just feel I am stuck and I am frustrated that my sex life is like once every 3 months. I still don't even know how often we would have sex if we lived together, we haven't had the chance to find that rhythm. When we see each other there's no time to do any more involved stuff it's just getting off. Basically everytthing we've talked about has to stay in the realm of fantasy because there's never any fucking time.
I am trying I said to him- you need to do covering letters and things, you can't just send your CV that has never worked. He's the one who wants out of his current job, and out of his town, but applying for jobs is so fucking hard when you're working full time and trying to do things you love to not get fucking depressed. See I understand those things because I would feel the same way. If he moved here we could find a place together and I could find it out if I actually can live with someone else and stay mentally well. I'm getting too dependent on living alone in order to stay mentally well and it worries me.
Sorry to vent. I'm not looking for advice it's just venting.

The reason I, like, never post my DaveKat art aside from that one post is bc I am TERRIFIED of mischaracterizing them. I hope this helps.
#saying i hope this helps as if anyone asked#i draw them a lot actually cause theyre fun to doodle#besides like vrisrezi and janeroxy theyre my most doodled ship#but fanon davekat is so weird and “ehhhh” its like. i feel like i need to hold myself to a super high standard to differentiate myself#and if my art has DIALOGUE???? oh god#general rule of thumb for dialogue that i have for them is that it should be funny#like actually funny#most of their interactions in canon are really funny#also i need to find this balance with how in touch they are with their emotions like dave is NOT that outwardly self-aware initially#and it depends on the time setting of the art too#but also like. hes not dumb. on some level he knows whats going on and what happened to him and who he is he just ignores it#and karkat#karkats actually easy to characterize for me the one thing i need to remember is that he says and does super embarrassing shit sometimes#and one must learn to live with this#oh and obviously im not gonna write them in a weird like. straight way? is the best i can describe it?#if you were around in old homestuck fandom or have seen old fics you know exaaaactly what i mean#why do they make dave actually CREEPY to karkat he wouldnt do that. ever.#i dont even know where that comes from tbh#like homophobia obviously but howwww#daves never really acted like that with karkat#and hes never acted like that with any of the characters hes popularly shipped with either (john. jade. terezi) like thats not him#highschool aus are the worst perpetrators of this btw sorry#why are you guys making him a jock⁉️⁉️⁉️

It’s so hard to watch a show when you can’t stand the other lead… nothing against that actor but her face just annoys me lol
Also, the plot’s good and intriguing but I cannot with the romance plot. I really don’t like romance in movies or tv shows, it usually just bores me to death. I never get excited when they have a scene where it’s deliberately meant to be romantic and whatnot… this is especially true when the leads just don’t have chemistry so no matter how much they try to build the tension, I just don’t see it
If they had just stuck to the historical drama/political intrigue route I would’ve watched this in one sitting and actually paid attention. I clocked out the moment they played up the romantic scenes. Honestly, you can take out the romance b-plot and it still would’ve been so good! Like, the cinematography alone is worth it and also like the other side plots going on were actually intriguing…
#i have so many actors that i can’t stand watching just cause their faces annoy thr living shit out of me#im only watching this show to simp at this point lol#cause i already know what happens#and im not really interested in their stupid love story#like they could’ve done so much with the setting alone without including the romance#but nooooooo we must include some romance as always#this is why i don’t watch kdramas hahahahaha#it’s the same shit in nearly all of it#like kingdom is the only one i can actually stand and squid game#cause no romance there#and the plot’s really good#so idk why they had to make mr sunshine a romance shit#when they could’ve gone a different genre#y’know just this once i want a historical and political intrigue drama with no romance#also lbh and the girl do not have chemistry at all#maybe im just so used to lbh being in action that i just cant see him as a leading man????#also im sorry but her face is just so goddamn annoying#im supposed to believe shes some badass revolutionary???#like i get the whole shes supposed to be innocent but badass thing#but man i dont buy it at all#you can dress her up in all black all you want but nah#hina is a much much more likable character so far#like if she were the lead i wouldve liked this better honestly#also shes so much more interesting#like we get the girls backstory during the first episode so idrc about her anymore cause i alr know her motivations and shit#its a good show but meh im not feeling it at all apart from me simping that is#vent mode: on
