Yall accepted redditors too fast them jerks are monsters with no empathy nor compassion. Have u ever read a thread of disabled or disadvantaged people or mentally ill and all they got are insults and victim blaming. The fact that it's better than twitter bc there is a good person here and there instead of a herd of demons doesn't make them great
#I hate human beings. it's not society it's them they're mean and evil and ready to kick who's already down#u gotta be lucky to find someone good or be normal enough not to see their real self when ur path shakes#I'm so tired i wasn't made for such cruelty. just bc you don't shoot someone in a lager it doesn't mean that bullying and shaming and#ignore people makes u a good person. why is there so much hate i don't get it i don't understand i feel so sad#a redditor woud now tell me to grow up bc the world is bad and I'm a stupid as if they knew me#after all they worked so hard their whole life so why wouldn't i also bitch being selfish and evil is normal and good not like me

Tumblr Rules for Redditors
Hello, fellow redditors! Many people are trying to tell you rules about how to Tumblr properly. Many of them are wrong, or assholes, or both. I am also an asshole but I’m going to not be one for a minute to give you some advice:
“Reblog this or you’re a bad person” and any variation on that is a violation of intergalactic law. Don’t do it. Also, refuse to comply if someone else does it.
Generally, people can see what you reblog, but cannot see what you ‘like’. A like may seem like an upvote, but it is much less significant than one, since it doesn’t affect visibility in the slightest. A like will be visible both to the OP of the thread, and to the person whose reblog you put the like on. Like promiscuously! It feels good to get likes and there’s no downside. (Unless you are a space alien AKA influencer.) There’s a setting for like visibility, but it’s still somewhat hard to find even if it’s turned on.
Tumblr nominally has the ability to browse global tags (e.g. seeing the entire site’s posts and reblogs tagged #superwholock or #reddit exodus) and to search the site for things. No one uses them and they don’t really work.
You are probably less surprised by this than denizens of literally any other website on the internet, but there’s mostly no algorithm here. Chronological order only. This now defaults to being on, but you can and should turn it off. (If you’re using the search or global tags, they might have an algorithm, but if they do, it doesn’t work. We don’t know because we don’t use them, because they mostly don’t work either.)
Anyone can have absolutely any conversation in the notes of your post that they like. This is how the website works. You are allowed to complain about it, but don’t expect anyone to humor you. I think it’s possible to make posts unrebloggable and disable replies, but this is essentially refusing to use Tumblr. If you want to do that... go ahead, I guess?
Many people have ‘DNI’ lists in their blog descriptions. This means ‘do not interact’ and indicates that they don’t want you to message them, reblog from them, reblog any posts they are OP of, or even, sometimes, ‘like’ their posts. It is good manners to respect these, if you know they exist, but in normal use you probably won’t look at blog descriptions very often so it is entirely okay to violate them by accident. (When the lists get very long, it becomes impractical to check whether you violate them. Generally, just skip it. You probably don’t want to interact with those people anyway.)
Notes on posts you start will go to you no matter how many intervening hops there are on the reblog chain. If you get a post with an enormous amount of notes, this can get overwhelming. Whatever the current incarnation of Xkit (basically RES for Tumblr except we’ve switched names and maintainers seven times) is, will have a setting to deal with this. If that’s insufficient, the suggested course of action is to reblog your OP to your own blog so that you have a copy for posterity’s sake, and then delete the OP. This silences the notes.
If you and another user both follow each other, you are ‘mutuals’. This makes it much easier to have conversations with each other, which is ordinarily sort of hard since everything is purely chronological. Frequently your mutuals are your friends; if not yet true, they may become your friends.
When you reblog things, you can write words both in the word part and in the tags, Modern tumblr norms are to write long rambling tags in full sentences rather than put words in the main body. Unlike some other norms, violating this one and putting your response in the body of the reblog is not particularly rude. The worst it does is make a reblog chain long. Probably don’t reblog things and just say “This.”, though.
Tags can be subjected to peer review, by which we mean someone copy-pastes your tags and/or screenshots them and adds them to the main body of their reblog. Generally this is a compliment. The alternative is to say “#prev tags”, and this makes everyone hate you because it’s hard to find which tags were ‘prev’. Please just peer review properly if they’re good.
If you want to search your blog, consider Siikr. Don’t overuse it, it’s one guy’s project.
Be verbose! This ain’t Twitter, no character limit. (Not even the really large character limit of a reddit comment.) Write a 3000-word story in a single reblog if you want, that sounds awesome. Use ‘read more’ if you do, though. Posts can be very long, one of our oldest memes is about this.
Infinite scroll is the default, but you can turn it off. Actually, check all the settings, many of them will improve your experience.
On queues: Go nuts. Some people put everything in the queue, some people almost nothing. Some queue specific aestheticposting (personally I do #too smol) and post other things normally. Most people who queue a lot add a queue-specific tag like #the mighty queue or #this queue shall pass, or at least I notice them more than poasters with untagged queues.
You know how Reddit lets you buy Gold and people go 'thanks for the gold kind stranger'? On tumblr we spend money on Tumblr Blaze, and it is considered the PvP section of Tumblr. Though sometimes people actually use it to spread posts they like, such as people attempting to evangelize Christianity (no, really, that happened a lot) or the, I hope, actually-kind stranger who blazed this OP. You can turn off PvP with one of the many settings.
Everybody be excellent to each other!

Quote
In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trails 1945-1949) I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.
Captain G. M. Gilbert, the Army psychologist assigned to watching the defendants at the Nuremberg trials
Quoting two Redditors:
“Conservatives attack empathetic people all the time. They invent new slurs just for empathy every 15 years, like "politically correct", or "bleeding heart", or "woke", etc.Restricted or nonexistent empathy is a prerequisite for conservative ideology.”
“The entire conservative ethos, everything they say and do, is completely consistent when your starting point is: no empathy.The bad part is that a lack of fundamental empathy is a somewhat innate quality, established in your first few years. It’s very hard to acquire later in life. So a lot of conservatives are beyond redemption.“

AITA for not telling my mom important things?
(💙 to find again later)
I (nb20) live at home with my family for financial reasons (I live off of disability as of 6 months ago and save about 1/3 each month towards saving up, unimportant but mentionable), which includes my mother (f39).
Now, my mom is not the best person to come to with private or personal details. Sure, she'd never say something that might put you in jail or anything, but the woman is a blabbermouth. Growing up she would always share things with other people that I told her in private without giving her permission to.
Like the time I ruined my pants in school and found her laughing as she told my dad - in detail - about it the next day. Or the time I confided in her that I liked women, and she started openly making jokes at my expense about it after I had told her I didn't come out to anyone else yet at the time. Safe to say my mom doesn't have the best record with keeping my secrets secret.
So, I got married last winter to my then-girlfriends (not legally, as the US doesn't recognize marriage between more than two people yet) and didn't tell my mom about it (gee I wonder why).
Another thing to note is that both of my partners are trans (mtf and nb, respectively), and my mom has made unthoughtful comments about my own gender expression enough that I try not to bring up any gender-related LGBT identities in her presence in case she makes more of her "harmless jokes" at their (or my) expense. Saying things like "are you finally a guy yet? you can't be in-between forever and you hate being a girl, so what's it gonna take?" as an example of the shitty things she says to my face.
I don't want my mom making comments or "jokes" like that to my wives, which I know she will if I ever let my mom catch on to them being more than just "long distance girlfriends". (She's made comments about one of my wives so far already for being amab, and while I was really quick to shut it down I'm very fearful that she'll make a "joke" like that to my wife's face someday and make her incredibly uncomfortable.)
I feel bad for leaving my mom out of such a big part of who I am now and how awesome my partners are, wanting her to get to know them and letting them actually be part of my family, but on the other hand, my mom has a bad track record with making bad comments and minding her own business.
So, Tumblr-Redditors, AITA?
What are these acronyms?

I was the redditor that Hannah attacked and she did reach out to me privately to apologize and explain that she did assume the worst from my intentions and regrets it.
I feel so bad for the CCs as they've put themselves in an impossible situation, especially now when Caiti said to look to the ones distancing themselves as 'proof'.
If they take back their statements publically they will be hated by both 'sides'. I understand why Sylviee didn't want her statements to reach twitter but it would've been a comfort to see her say that it's not proof that dteam are awful people.
oh I'm really glad she reached out to you about that! That's good to hear
Yeah they're all in a tough spot especially because caiti dragged them into this as "proof dteam are bad" when it just seems like no one had any idea what was going on and acted irrationally.
I really do hope CCs feel comfortable one day retracting statements they made impulsively as it would really show some maturity that it feels everyone is currently lacking

Hey again, since you've once again brought up the idea of Hank and fatherhood, thought I'd try again to bring up his romantic history ( first comes love then comes marriage, Yada Yada and all that)
For a guy so down on himself and his appearance his got a pretty good dating history, and that's not even counting the people he's been teased with that the writers haven't pulled the trigger with yet
* cough*wonderman* cough*
How do you think Hanks romantic history in comics reflects on him as a romantic partner, both good and bad?
It's not my fault Hank's got such dad energy that people want to talk about how good of a father he'd make all the time. ;)
So, I think that Hank's romantic history is. Interesting. Because there's the surface level perception of Hank, and then there's the actuality of Hank as a romantic partner.
The surface level is largely dictated by the only non-comics source that ever bothered to give him a romance (no, I emphatically do not count the Mystique bullshit from the movies), which was the 90s animated series and the continuation of that theme in '97 this year.
Yep, it's time to talk about Carly Crocker!
Now, Carly is a completely original creation for the 90s show, and she doesn't quite fit any of the archetypes of Hank's other notable comics paramours, so I'd hazard a guess that they just kinda freestyled it here because, well, Hank's other romantic partners up to this point (Vera Cantor and Trish Tilby) wouldn't have fit the interracial romance/literal Beauty and the Beast angle that this episode is going for.
Carly's cute! I like her dynamic with Hank. They're very soft and tender with one another - she's not what I'd call frightfully complex, but she's a good woman with a nice dynamic that tugs at the heart strings a little, and especially given that the original 90s cartoon was aimed at kids, I feel like this is the right level of romantic interest to give a similarly relatively un-complex version of Beast.
Neither of them have any real negative qualities because if they did, well, it would detract from the tragedy of their denied romance and the unfairness of it all. It's very clear that the makers of the show want you to come away from this thinking that it's complete bullshit that Hank and Carly can't be together because other people are so small minded, and that would be muddied if Carly was, idk, kinda rude, or if we more faithfully transcribed some of Hank's neuroses to screen. So instead, it's very idealised.
This is where a lot of people get their idea of what Beast is like. He is a perfect saint who literally cures the blind on his time off from being a superhero, and his paramour is an angelic blind woman who is completely free from prejudice or rough edges. I think it's fine for what the show is going for, but it's not quite accurate to what Hank and his romantic history is like - to the point where I've seen some people (usually Redditors) say, UGHHHH, Beast was never the saint you think he was in the 90s cartoon, he's ALWAYS been morally grey, you fools! The fun blue uncle never existed in the comics!
And it's like, my guy. Yeah, the 90s show embellished a little bit, but this is not a million miles away from who Hank is. He's simplified, but Hank was absolutely a fun blue uncle jokester with a heart of gold for most of his existence. Maybe it wasn't exactly who he was in the comics, but neither is he what certain later writers think he is.
But. I digress.
We do, of course, have the '97 romance to consider, but we'll get to that, because that's a lot to unpack . . .
Comics!
Vera Cantor!
Ugh.
So, like . . . teenage Hank is just obnoxious. I don't enjoy him, tbh. He occasionally has good lines, but I'm basically just sitting around flicking his annoying head like
But in this instance, the 'do something' is turn blue. He's so much less obnoxious and annoying when he's blue . . .
Even filtering out the 60s misogyny, which isn't a particularly interesting flaw to try and give Hank, he's just not a great romantic partner because he's too stuffy and bookish. He's inattentive to Vera's needs and it really does read like he's only here because, well, it's something to do and Bobby needs a wingman. Vera states that she likes Hank because he's refined, which I suppose is true enough, but that's not enough to build anything more than a flirtation out of, tbh.
He's just. Not ready yet, for a fulfilling romance. The stuffiness and the blowhard vocabulary are all a smokescreen for a lot of insecurity, and that's just not someone who's ready to have a relationship.
Then again, when has that ever stopped a teenager?
They survive for longer than they should have done, honestly, given that Hank and Bobby are literally ALWAYS being called away to do X-Men things, which naturally puts a damper on dates, and they're on decent enough terms when she shows up again in Amazing Adventures, needing his help in dealing with Mimic's whole deal in Incredible Hulk.
It's a comic book romance (derogatory). It is what it is. Not really all that complex, not a lot to write home about.
Where it gets interesting is when J.M. DeMatteis enters the picture.
There's something very . . . performative, about Hank's romance with Vera, under DeMatteis. And I don't say that analytically, I mean that completely, utterly literally.
Silence. Uncertainty.
Guys, if I have to tell you that this is a bad foundation for a relationship, then I'm worried for you and your significant others. You can't be with someone because they're safe. That's part of a good reason to be with someone, but if you look at someone, and the best you can think of when you look at them is, you remind me of when my personal life was a little less scary because it was being dictated by a stern Professor Xavier, that's. Probably a sign???
It's also not great that Vera hasn't discovered feminist literature yet, so she keeps falling for being lovebombed because Hank is a bad boyfriend.
And this scene is just a big fuckin' WOOF.
Kid? Is that . . . really how you want to talk to your girlfriend, Hank?
Like . . . in the end, this is not the worst relationship in the world. Hank, when he's around, is charming. He's a good man. He writes good poetry, he'll take you dancing, he's handsome, he's great in bed, and he's a goddamn superhero. He is a fundamentally good man.
But.
He is inconsistent. He is prone to making decisions without consulting you. He is prone to showboating and revelling in attention from his fans because he has self-esteem issues. And, in the end? He's just not that into you, Vera. The base problem is still kind of the same - he's immature. He hasn't grown up yet. He's working on it! He's showing some self-awareness! But it's gonna be a bit before he's really good for anything beyond a fling.
Thankfully, Vera grew up and out of it quickly. Good for her!
The fact that they're still friendly means Hank didn't completely fuck this one up. I think both of them realise they had a lot of growing up to do, and I think that's the kind of sin you forgive people for a lot more when they're actually working on it, which Hank did.
Now, let's compare and contrast . . . with Jennifer Nyles.
I fucking love Jen.
Introduced in 1991's Marvel Presents as a flashback character who was Hank's first proper girlfriend (there's a character called Mindy that appears to have been a less serious relationship before Jen), Jennifer is a clever clogs like Hank, and even more feisty.
Hank remarks multiple times that if it hadn't been for his choice to join the X-Men, he likely would have stayed with Jen for the rest of his life, and I can see it. In a world where Hank didn't go with the X-Men, he lives a quiet, happy life with Jen in Illinois. Maybe he wins a Nobel Prize for biophysics. They have kids. They're good.
But, instead, Xavier wipes her mind of Hank's existence, and it shifts her entire world's axis - she commits her genius to the task of working out what the gap in his mind is, and becomes an expert in the field of techno-organic cybernetics.
As you do.
They find each other again. They have their moments together. And then, because Hank is a superhero, and they live dangerous lives, and Jen is reckless enough to get involved in dangerous endeavours to try and work out what was stolen from her, she nearly dies.
Nearly.
Hank and Jen are incredibly compatible, to be honest. They're a great match, and it's interesting to compare her to Vera, who is identified as a librarian, an 'intelligent' profession, but whom Hank seems disinterested in, whereas Jen, who is explicitly on Hank's level, enraptures him, and in the end, he's forced to let her go for her safety.
In the end, Hank doesn't want someone who'll just hold his hand, he wants someone who can challenge him intellectually, someone who will hold him to account, who can match his wit, and Vera . . . can't.
Not really.
It's partly a foible of when they met, partly a case of Vera being who she is and Hank who he is, but in the end, it all comes down to how Vera reacted when she received those flowers and poetry. She folded. She was charmed. She fell for Hank's charming exterior. And that's. Kinda. Not interesting to him? I don't even think he realises that's what's going on, but it is what happened. She showed him that she would put up with his shenanigans, and that's not what Hank wants. Not really.
You could almost see it as a game that Hank plays, a challenge to see if you can scratch the surface and get at who he really is, under the surface, if you're dedicated to getting at him. Maybe that's unfair of him to do, but again, I don't think it's something he even realises he's doing. He has walls up for a reason, and if you break through them, then you clearly want him - he can believe that, because you just fought him, to get to him. It all comes back to that insecurity . . .
It's also worth noting here that Hank and Jen have another encounter in X-Men Unlimited vol. 2 #10, in a way that contradicts Marvel Presents. It's hard to reconcile, since she remembers Hank here when she shouldn't, but I like both stories too much to really fight over which one I have as canon, so I kinda just don't think about it too much.
"What would you think of me if I was to tell you how terrified I am of everything right now?"
"You've never been scared of anything in your life. I think we should both be brave and go take a look at what might be hiding in the cemetery."
That touch, that tenderness . . . ouahhghhhh . . . the timelines are screwy, and these are all written years apart from one another, but I do think it's significant that Hank spends entire issues of Amazing Adventures and Incredible Hulk hiding his beastly appearance from Vera under a mask, and yet, he willingly unwraps his bandages for Jen.
I think that tells you all about how willing he is to be his true self around Jen versus Vera. Hank literally says he doesn't know who he is sometimes around Vera, and she tells him, I'll help you find out if you let me. Helpful, but it doesn't fix the problem. Meanwhile, Hank is in the midst of the worst depression and fear of his life, reeling from his worst ever mistake, and Jen tells him that she'll be brave with him, and they'll confront the unknown together. He finds catharsis that way. Vera is supportive. Jennifer is proactive. Hank appreciates both, of course, but only through one can he achieve growth.
But, that's no real surprise, because . . . she's the one who tells him this, too . . .
Jennifer Nyles, you have, like, 9 appearances in all of Marvel Comics, but I would die for you. Genuinely one of the most influential characters in Hank's life, tbh.
. . . SPEAKING OF INFLUENTIAL CHARACTERS.
So . . . in the interests of a fair analysis, Trish is an interesting character. She believes in transparency, the democratisation of information, she is eminently heroic, she is self-sacrificing, she is intelligent, and she is strong.
You can see why Hank would be attracted to her. She can cut through the flip attitude and get at the Hank underneath. If we're going with the theory that Hank is playing keep away with his real feelings so that the only people who get close to him are the people who work to get there and he can believe that they're there for him, then Trish will succeed, because she'll put in the work.
But, the problem is, the Hank she met was human Hank, and even though she claims not to have a problem with the fur - and maybe, at this point, she doesn't! - we know that Hank's mutation becomes a problem for her.
Man, if I had a penny for every time I posted these panels, I wouldn't have to work.
But. In the interests of fairness. I have to point out that the problem here is not that Trish found it hard to get used to Hank's changing face - I've talked about this before, that it's understandable it would become an issue for her, in a romantic relationship, faces and bodies and the tangible aspects of a person are more important than ever - but that she thought this was in any way an acceptable way to do it.
Trish's insecurity made her lash out and 'fix' the problem in a way that saved her career and severed the tie that would drag her down. That is. An understandable reaction. It's hurtful, but in the end, she's prioritising herself, and that's. Understandable. That being said?
She had no fucking right to even try this.
Like. No??? You don't get to do this??? Fuck off??? You exited from his life in a way that saved your career and your reputation, you do not get to try and dip back in because you feel bad - and, I'm going to be incredibly fucking honest, that's if that's even the reason she's doing it. I suspect, maybe maliciously, but maybe not, that she had ulterior motives, because of past behaviour.
Because do you want to know what the worst thing Trish Tilby ever actually did was?
Meet Dennis Hogan. He is a mutant. His power is to look like a lizard. That's it. He also was infected by the Legacy Virus, making him incapable of controlling those transformations. He is a perfectly harmless, innocent young man, who is trying to find medical help for a disease that he had no way of avoiding contracting.
Trish Tilby is directly responsible for his death in a hate crime.
And Trish's response, when Hank brings this up?
Just throw the whole fucking woman out. She's septic garbage.
How does this reflect on Hank? It reflects badly that he ever took her back after this. After she sold out his fucking race, got an innocent man killed, deflected blame, physically assaulted her partner, and acted as if she, somehow, were the wronged party in this.
"If you were doing your job as well as I'm doing mine, there'd be one less dead mutant to mourn!"
Hank is currently working on a cure for the Legacy Virus, Patricia. Thank you for implying that he's not doing enough, while you sit around, hocking news stories that will tangibly improve your position at your job, that directly lead to hate crimes, because you have decided that people just NEED TO KNOW things that will make them act irresponsibly, hatefully, and cruelly.
Yes, there is such a thing as freedom of the press. There is such a thing as the democratisation of information.
And then there's this asshole, who was storming into Angel's hospital room with a camera, recording him with his ruined wings, chasing a story because it was the right thing to do, and damn the consequences.
Who cares who gets hurt, so long as Patricia Tilby gets her story?
It reflects badly on Hank that he ever went out with her. it reflects badly on Hank that he ever took her back. It reflects badly on everyone involved that they didn't have the heart to tell Hank to just fucking NOT.
This is who she is. It's who she's always been, since her first appearance, and it is stark how awful a woman she is.
The X-Men '97 adaptation of her was kind. Think about that for a moment. Think about the fact that turning this woman into a fucking Prime Sentinel couldn't make her do as much damage as she did with her own free will and bad judgement.
. . . Blech.
So, this is an incomplete history, because I've run out of images? Heh. If you want to hear more about Hank's other relationships, most notably Cecilia Reyes, Abigail Brand, and Simon Williams, feel free to send another ask, and I can link them together. Hope you found this informative and not as rambly as it feels.
Also, if I remember correctly, Cerebrocast is gonna do an episode on Trish Tilby soon? I have no intention of listening/watching to it, but keep all of this stuff in mind and see if it gets mentioned when that episode happens. Because that podcast's hate boner for Hank McCoy means I genuinely think they'll find a way to excuse Trish's poor behaviour just because it's Hank. It honestly wouldn't surprise me.

What is a piece of soulsborne lore that just utterly drives you mad?
Not going to lie, it is a hard question.. I just like or at least accept everything in these games? There ARE some "would have been more fun/deep/interesting" moments on my end, but canon decision is never BAD in my eyes! But my mind is legit blank in terms of "getting mad"! (Unless you meant mad as in, madness and not as in, anger?)
The closest to being angry I've gotten was the thing about Radahn as Miquella's consort! And, no, it is not about hassle of some Malenia-hating Redditors "getting validated 😥" or #shouldhavebeengodwyn thing! The story is NOT concerned by petty fandom infighting and its perception should not be dependent on it! And Godwyn was ALREADY in love with Fortissax! When he wasn't, he was getting so gay with his Knights that they straight up rebranded into Death Knights instead of complaining about something-something against the order! He was TAKEN!!! Cope and SEATH! xD /hs
It is... hard to explain, but it felt like a wasted concept! I realized that I'd prefer Miquella of all characters to not have a pair in canon. The God that wants to embrace everyone and love everyone should not pick a favourite. He is not ALLOWED to pick a favourite! Conceptually! It appears that Greater Will set up a standard for anyone who wants to shape the laws of nature to have a pair, right? Placidusax was a partner of previous Elden Ring's owner, Marika had two consorts and Two Fingers sent you to be the third... Looks like the rule is unbreakable, right? Except for one character...
Ranni was set on walking her "dark path" to Godhood alone, and we had to do a bit of insisting to join her! So, all in all, Miquella needed a consort because he wanted a consort! Divinity is scary, and it must be even scarier in solitude, so, I understand! Like, I sure can't even tell the guy to "grow up" for AT LEAST two reasons hfhfjdjg
But, I think he should have forsaken the biases. To love everyone or no one, to be omnipresent... Heck, keep the whole plot about a vow and clinging to Radahn, just with the plot twist of him getting "enlightnment" that he should not embrace one above everyone else! I know that he discarded his love, not his promise. Well? Discard it NOW, then? He should not at least because Radahn would be his weapon? But he wants a world WITHOUT war and battles! I don't know, I just feel a strange type of jealousy I can't explain well... Having a fav doesn't fit his concept of divinity for me. In fact, it strains the vibe of being "embraced" by him because there is always this Third Guy just standing there (menacingly). What, he will force everyone to not just be friends, but also polyamorous now? I mean he might as welllol hfhggvfj Argh. Him not being able to overcome some weakness, fear, clinginess and bias in spite of all is not a BAD story, but it could have been better? Yet I still wonder whether I am right or my preferred idea is a boring cliché and I misunderstood Miyazaki's genius of subverting it! Nor I know why what I am feeling is def a type of jealousy. Oh nooo, has he charmed ME? LITTLE PRICK!!!
Here are a few other things that I am not as happy with, but nothing critical:
Fanart sabotage: Like not making it clear enough that the guy from Scholar of the First Sin cover that holds the crown is Aldia, not Vendrick! He misses Vendrick's trademark braids (that were present even in his youth, mind you!) and has wizardy aesthetic instead of Vendrick's warrior one! Or making the idea of the statue behind Memory Altar in Bloodborne being Caryll easily skippable because this asset is also used literally everywhere in Chalice Dungeons! Or not placing Gold Pendant on the bearded guy's statue in Research Hall, so one has to admit Laurence had a beautiful beard gfhhfj Little things like this, that guaranteed absence of some cool fanart rooted in the source material! Not lore but Fromsoft's way to present things, but still!
Skipping what Demigods Vyke and Bernahl fought: I love, love, LOVE the way Miyazaki deliberately removes some pieces of the puzzle from the story that IS full in his head, to imitate his childhood experience of reading foreign books but not knowing many words! It is an interesting approach, allowing people to fill the gaps with their own imagination! But in THIS case particularly, I didn't like it. 🤔 This is a bit TOO important to miss out on. Like, bro... there were 4 deceased Shardbearers nothing and no one ever mentioned! The whole lore acts as if they never existed! They erased this part of lore so hard it ripped a HOLE in the page!
Creighton reappearing in DS3: I do not dislike what the writers ended up doing to him, but.. at the DS2 time, there was a room to speculate that Creighton was not the unhinged murderer he appeared as! But instead, a trope of a guy who just has negative charisma and SPEAKS like a serial killer! And that maybe Pate actually framed him or something like that! Creighton's lore was kind of vague in DS2! Creighton doesn't even have Mirrah accent, ffs! You know who does though? Pate! Buuuuuut, in DS3, they just straight up confirmed that yeah, he just likes killing. There is no mystery or complexity to him now, he is JUST like that. Sure, why not, but also why? ;-;
Gnarrl being patched out: Keeping the concept of Dragonic Sentinel to a unique character was a way cooler idea! Even if they just could not come up with a better boss to gatekeep Leyendell/Death, at least keep his name as someone who started the trend and others followed!
Put him back. NOW.
Characters disappearing: Again, not really a lore thing, but a presentation thing! But I am talking things like, missing out that the "female archer" in the woods in Dark Souls 1 IS Pharis herself, or that there is a stated female character Knight Amerix amongst the Forest covenant! Why people need to look through Japanese guide to know this info? Or missing the fact that Queen of Lothric is not Gwynevere? (Granted, this is a fault of English localization...) I'll dig out every single obscure gremlin from under the ground!!! Don't fuck with me!!!!!
Priscilla being discarded at birth: I can't criticize this idea at all, it works for the story and as a perfect reflection of how society of Light worked! But I can FEEL mad about it! Gwyn spared a baby dragon (Midir) on condition of having them be of help, Gwyndolin is here, Yorshka is here despite also being half-dragon and also having connection with Lifehunt ability, so tell me why-
Tell me why ONE baby of Seath just straight up got abandoned? Based on what feature others never got? This is needlessly cruel! Like, yes, it works for what it does, but I still will strangle all of the characters involved in this decision! Granted, I gave it a bandaid of saying Seath and Caitha had Yorshka after Gwyn's death now that they were left together in grief, but it doesn't exempt Seath from Priscilla being ditched! Shira I think is also his daughter ("daughter of the duke", also has white hair in concept art and Sam hair as Yorshka in game) but she is doing fine! So, he just dislikes children who remind him of his mortality? What about Yorshka, then? Is she here because she formed as a dragon "differently"? Full disrespect to this cringe looser 🤦♂️
Hilde being dead: They've ruined perfect Moonrithyll x Hilde yuri is what they did. Literally the only Fire Knight to be dead and it had to be her. Why could not we have just fought her as a unique mob? :pensive:
_______________
Okaaaay I think this should be it! If you wanted me to finally say something besides devout praise to Soulsborne, I hope that was enough? xD

People In Their 20s Are Sharing The Hardest Pills To Swallow About Becoming An "Adult"
BuzzFeed
Sat, September 7, 2024 at 8:57 PM CDT·5 min read
As we grow up, we see things differently. How we look at the world at 25 is vastly different from how we view life at 13. And as we age, we are forced to come to terms with difficult things. So Redditor u/BluebirdIll6390 asked, "What's the hardest pill to swallow in your early twenties?" Here's what people said, including members of the BuzzFeed Community, about the toughest realities of aging into your 20s and beyond.
1."For me, a hard pill to swallow was realizing how much I actually have to make to have the lifestyle to which I was accustomed and how far I was from that as a recent graduate."
2."You have to become the driving force making the next steps of your life happen. There’s a pretty clear, direct pipeline from childhood to university. After that, it's all open. A lot of people get stuck floating around in post-college purgatory, waiting for something to happen, but you just have to be the one to make those things happen now. It’s very easy to get sucked into the rhythm of the first job you get out of college, setting up wherever you’re situated, having ideas of what you’d like to do with your life with no urgency to get started because you’re under the false assumption you’ve all the time in the world. You’re young, but the days are long, and the years are short. Don’t wait to start living."
3."Some careers don't start till you're in your 30s."
4."My dad told me that the older I got, the smarter he would seem. It turns out he was right all along."
5."True friends are hard to find. They're not the friends you party with. Not the friends you hang onto because you 'have a history even though you don't have much in common anymore, or they treat you like shit. The true friends who will love you for who you are. It took me a long time and a lot of heartache to learn this one, but my best friend at 35 has enriched my life in ways that my old contingent of 'friends' never could."
6."The hardest thing for me was realizing that some of my friends and family were objectively bad people who would never change and/or grow up."
7."You have to decide what you want to eat for every meal for the rest of your life."
8."Your parents are getting older and won't be here forever."
9."You will either cultivate habits, willpower, study, exercise, and routines for success, or you will slowly watch yourself fade. No one is protecting you from yourself anymore."
10."This is likely the best your body will ever feel. Put in the work now, and your body will thank you. I'm talking about flexibility work, strength work, skin and teeth."
11."Being an adult isn't nearly as exciting as I thought. While I love my autonomy, I don't love my bills or responsibilities. The fact is, every stage of life has its pros and cons. Nothing is ever perfect, but that's okay."
12."Remember how, as a kid, a year took forever? Like the week after Christmas, had this crushing reality that it would be forever before it happened again? Now, remember how fast this last year went? Yeah. That's your life. You'll be 30, wondering what happened to time. It just keeps getting faster. Don't try to speed through, even in the bad times. Take time. Don't live for the weekend, don't put things aside for 'another time.' People say you won't be young forever, but nobody prepares you for how short 'not forever' it actually is."
13."Your comfort zone quickly becomes a prison if you indulge in it. You need to push your boundaries and only fall back into your comfort zone when you absolutely need it. Staying in your comfort zone will breed anxiety when you leave it. You have to put yourself into uncomfortable situations to build up resilience for the future."
14."That feeling of being a kid who is just figuring shit out never actually ends."
15."Realizing that adulting is a full-time job with no time off."
16."At the end of the day, you are on your own. No parent, teacher, or camp counselor will swoop in, resolve conflicts, and guide you to the next step. You have to figure it all out. You can ask people for advice, but the problems are infinitely more complex and never have a 'right' answer, only a 'best we can figure' answer given what you have available. Yes, close friends or a significant other can be there to aid you when you need help with projects, moving, or a shoulder to cry on. But at the end of the day, it's your life, and you must steer the ship."
17."All the fun of going to school, having summers off, having 'breaks' for fall or winter...that's just about over. Time to go to work every day until you're ready to retire. Hope you enjoyed your school years!"
18."'You can be the sweetest, juiciest peach in the world, and there will still be people who don't like peaches.'"
19."My parents were right: A boring life is a happy life."

Imagine my pain when my achievement hunter ass checks how many percent I have of achievements and my calculator shows 31%.
THIRTY ONE PERCENT!
I'm planning to get to 50% before the year ends, but I dread the finale of LFOS, DALS, LSE, HHW. All of them have barely any achievments right now, which is kinda scary. LFOS and HHW will be easy to get 100% and surprisingly I kinda like them although they are not my cup of tea. I'm nearly finished with the chapters that are available, but I have to replay LFOS as I started that book way before the achievements came. It's gonna be fun and cute. Best to replay it when uni starts and I will need something for just entertainment, since there is no heavy drama, gory murders or convoluted plot.
DALS and LSE on the other hand... They're giving me a fucking migraine. I lost all interest in DALS and it's already a chore to go through it for just Noe, if they go with catch all pokemons in this story to get one achievment like in HS2 or SOS I'm gonna throw my phone at a wall. It wouldn't be so hard if the plot still made sense and there was no hiatus, and Sandra wasn't so sidelined of course. I understand that Veronica has her problems, but it feels like a joke now. The book started when I was in highschool and in October I'm starting my final year of my BA. The thought that I may start doing my MA and DALS is still not finished is terrifying. And mind you, I loved DALS when it came out. I'm a big fan of Ottoman Empire history and vampires. So it was my fav before s2 ended.
And LSE, I love it, genuinely love it. But Tepish what the fuck is that number of possible endings? Don't think that I'm not happy about it but oh my how many replays do we have to do to see at least 10% of them. If that one redditor is right and it's like 190 something endings than RC better not fuck with silly people like me that need to get all the achievments by making one achievment something like see all the possible endings. I would still do it cause I'm a dumbass but still...
Even making catch all pokemons achievement here would be terrifying. 7 love interest with ending if we not count the vampires (since they already have an achievement).
But yeah, all bad thoughts go away since Paradox will get his own ending. I'm gonna do an RC circle. From destroying his plans in my first (and favourite) RC story to romancing him many books later.
Sorry for that world salad, gotta love RC for all that feelings it creates and many amazing stories.
Please RC more monster LIs 🙏

When I started talking to people again in 2020 and joined the server where I met most of my current friends, I discovered my ability to interact with people had degraded to the point where it was genuinely hard to have a single conversation without getting extremely paranoid about how whatever I was said was taken. My narcissism and previous trauma had grown while I wasn't paying attention and being so much less social.
I got over it eventually thanks to help from friends and in particular one that assured me I'd know whenever they were upset because they tended to get very visibly, dramatically upset, and it was like, cool, I can accept that, I can internalize that if they don't seem upset they probably aren't upset.
But having come back to Tumblr since...well, I was blogging purely for aesthetics in 2020 for a bit but left again shortly thereafter, so not counting that coming back in these last few months is the first time I've been on since 2017 and actually like, talking to people, and expressing opinions and things. I was on Reddit the whole time, and leaving there is why I came back here, but that was different because individual interactions were relatively anonymous - that is, if you talk to someone on a big subreddit, you're just some redditor, but here people follow you, they interact with YOU, as a person, and that's been difficult for me to readjust to?
Because, like, I have a 129 followers currently, and in the back of my head is an intense desire to somehow keep track of how they perceive me, and to keep them pleased and happy with me. And that's such a small number of followers! I cannot imagine being any kind of celebrity, although there may be a number that once you hit it the fanbase cancels out the negativity. At least, I feel that would be the case with me, because I'm used to having hot takes and I feel like if I were a YouTuber or whatever with a solid following I'd probably be like hell yeah Velvet Nation vs. the World.
I'm trying to think of if I had it this bad in the past but Brain Damage makes remembering the previous week difficult, let alone over half a decade ago. But right now I strongly feel like I just wanna delete everything and never come out again, even though I know that's dumb and not actually what I want.
I'll have to think on how to actively work on this.

hcs - enha as college students
notes: this isn't even an x reader (it may be in the future 👀) lmao, this is all lighthearted and i by no means intend to insult or deface any of the enhas or see them fr fr this way
heeseung: comp sci major w/a music minor
deep down would definitely want his degrees to be the other way around
but he would probs realize cs just leads to more of a stable job (not with ai on the rise tho 😍 we love going into a doomed field of study)
(as a cs kid i’m ABSOLUTELY projecting onto my little headcanons about him)
i think..he’d be a NORMAL person that enjoys programming more than learning abt computer hardware or theory
seeing as he’s normal he’d HATEEEEE object-oriented programming (the complex part of programming OUGHGG)
he’d probably know exactly what to minor in for his dream job: music production
he’d DEFINITELYYY be in the school orchestra as a piano
he’s not mysterious enough for a bass, annoying enough for a violin or trumpet, or quirky enough for a cello
he’s an attention whore he wouldn’t even LOOK at the violas 💀
but yeah overall i think he’d know his plans for the future down to a T
probs has an internship at microsoft (derogatory)
now for the most important question
would he be a tech bro?
absolutely NOT
for those that aren’t as familiar with tech bros
just imagine a redditor alpha male with horribly gelled hair that brings the LOUDEST gaming pc to class with a horribly oiled, light-up keyboard, and makes sleazy comments about the one or two girls in every comp sci class
in other words: a woman in cs’ worst nightmare (send help i’m one of TWO girls in a class full of tech bros.)
but yeah he wouldn’t be like that at all
he’d definitely suck at rizzing up women (bro plays LoL in 2023, the year of our lord, need i elaborate?)
i can easily imagine him coming into class with gray sweatpants, a white t-shirt and flannel over, and a double-shot coffee from starbucks every day
he’d probably be the most decent-looking dude in every cs-related class i can’t even lie
for the dudes reading this: if you ever need an ego boost, do basic self-care and dress well (maybe even put on basic makeup), and join a cs class
the amount of mid ass incels with no concept of self-care will immediately make you the most attractive man in the class i kid you not
neways enough of me projecting 💀
as a music student
i could absolutely see him eat up every composition assignment (where you compose your own piece of music)
although i feel like he’d have a teacher that prefers classical music that’d be PISSED every time he submits something non-conventional
omg imagine him composing a whole dubstep instrumental for class
if the music production thing doesn’t work out he’d start a band with a bunch of losers in his dad’s garage and make horrible music that’d still get a decent amount of listens and attention bc he’s hot
it’s giving fallout boy but not emo
maybe shitty indie at best
more utc !
jay: english major w/a philosophy minor
first of all
his ass would NOT know philosophy is mostly math before signing up
i don’t think he’d be bad at math at all but he’d fs be regretting it all
but then he’d debate dropping out until whoop there’s only a semester left until it’s over. too late.
he’d dress up for every class for SUREEE
one word: beige.
he IS light academia pinterest
studyblr WISHES it was him fr
macbook user. i don’t need to explain.
he’d probably have his life together on the outside
bullet journal and aesthetic notion and all
i feel like he’d prefer discussions and deep thought (hence the philosophy) and debates over analysis
he’d LOVE discussing his thoughts abt different texts in class
he would NOT like writing out analyses abt random ass stories tho (hs english was a NIGHTMARE)
argumentative essays are his BITCH fr
i think he’d lose points for focusing more on broader concepts and going just a tad too off-topic in analytical essays, instead of focusing on details and cause-effect relationships and all that
now for the important part: his life outside of college
ik for a FACT he’d be the most likely to have a thriving social life outside of school out of all of enha
don’t @ me it’s not my fault the rest of them are MAIDENLESS – heeseung plays LEAGUE for crying out loud !!
probably goes out to the mall or new attractions like museums every weekend
even tho he minors in arguably one of the hardest fields of study ??
bro would finish up calc III homework in less than an hour 🤯
i bet he’d be there on a scholarship too 😒lucky ass
jake: international relations (global politics) major, no minor
note: ik the average writer would probs make him a physics major but that’s BOOOORING and overdone, plus i just don’t see it 🤷
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE !!! IR ≠ political science !!! IR focuses on politics around the world, pol sci is more of how internal governments work
(i’m also heavily projecting here bc i’m a politics student send your prayers please and thank you)
i pity IR majors
this boy is TIRED 25/8
tbh the thing with IR isn’t that the content’s hard
a (paraphrased) quote from my IR teacher: “political scientists are lazy, all they do is come up with generic concepts and slap an ‘-ism’ at the end”
it’s moreso the reading and writing.
god the reading.
politics textbooks are so big and expensive it hurts my wallet just to look at the library-issued textbook i have
he’d be running on caffeine and a prayer, no sleep we die like men
not that he’d be a bad student !!
i could definitely see him being that one student that asks the teacher the silent questions no one asks bc they think it’ll make them look stupid (ie. asking them to repeat what they just said or explain a not-so-complex theory)
would definitely word vomit about politics, current and past, to the rest of the enhas (but just to make sure he remembers it all, you gotta respect the grind man)
none of them would understand a thing
jake: “yeah so it’s stupid how there are a whole bunch of states fighting over the south china sea when it’s technically international waters [please don’t quote me on this it’s like 2 am and i’m pulling stuff out of my ass] and therefore has no legal ‘owner’ haha isn’t that stupid?”
the rest of enha, maybe except for jay: 👁️👄👁️
jay: “ermmm akshully 🤓👆it’s in the name, china has legal rights over the south CHINA sea bc it borders it”
i can picture it vividly
imma be honest this man would be a MESS
he’d probably make (futile) attempts to get his shit together like a notion pro subscription, trying to sleep on time, a gym membership, you name it
sadly that’s just the life of a politics student
it’s so hectic it’d be hard to keep up with, but it’s jake, he’d somehow stay afloat
he’d probably come to his minimum wage job after class half-dead but his manager and coworkers would take pity on him and let him sleep in the janitor’s closet
would probably be clinging to the whole “just get through tomorrow and it’ll get better” mentality
it does not. sigh
sunghoon: undeclared until sophomnore (second) year, kinesiology (bio?) major
man honestly
this mf would be irrelevant
probs has a generic major and says absolutely nothing in class
if you blink he’d probs disappear
i feel like he’d initially wanna go for med but then he’d hear about the whole you’re-gonna-sacrifice-the-best-years-of-your-life-for-this-field-of-study thing and said NOPE lmao
which is reasonable
with the amount of ppl doing med in the world he wouldn’t think it’d make a difference if he decided to switch
i feel like he’d just be there for the ride 💀smth abt wanting to “experience all life has to offer” (not in a rich, just here for the business degree way, but more of an “i don’t need a degree to get a job but it might make it easier” way)
so yeah he decides to major in kinesiology, the study of movement according to google
disclaimer i’m not a bio person at ALL so any misinformation is completely unintentional and i will NOT be held at gunpoint to do research about a college major for HEADCANONS at ass o’clock in the morning
neways
he has a decently light workload and therefore a healthy amount of free time
on the occasional he does get a painful assignment he’d procrastinate until he’d staying up and cussing out his past self for not doing it earlier
tbh i don’t think he’d be a horrible OR amazing student
he’s truly MID mid
maybe an average of like … 75% which really isn’t bad tbh the american education system has conditioned us into thinking it is but let’s be fr other than philly cheese steaks what exactly have we ever gotten right.
….neways again
he’d be something like a jack of all trades, master of none
overall a chill guy 9/10 would be fun to hang out with
now for the best part
frat boy sunghoon
idk anything abt frat or sorority life – i’m asian the only thing close to a sorority i’d be in would be like … the school orchestra or book club 💀my parents would kill me – so don’t take everything i say for gospel
you bet your ass he’d be at every party
100% for the booze and vibes he wouldn’t even be there to flirt or rizz ppl up (he’s a self-aware man he knows he has negative rizz but that’s what makes him so ALLURING)
wouldn’t get high or anything tho he’s not all abt that life (that life being running away from the popo)
i’d trust him to walk me home tbh
he wouldn’t hurt a fly the most he’d do is like … attempt to verbally abuse jay
sunoo: art major, english lit. minor
you saw it coming don’t lie
NEWAYS
he’d be amazing at art honestly
making a portfolio would be his Thing yk
yk those big artists that are all about “working on the impulse” and not doing anything until they do ridiculous shit to get over art block
that’s him
but he slays every time he gets over it
god i feel like he’d be the perfect college friend after jay
he definitely has his shit together
i’m talking he does his assignments on time, probably has a half-paid merit scholarship, works a decent job at a taco bell just off of campus, and somehow has a will to live and time to go to the mall every weekend
the thing is, he’s not the most perfect college friend bc he’s slightly more fun-focused and free-spirited than jay, who’s a perfect mix of both
neways no more talking abt other enhas it’s sunoo’s time to shine 😠
i bet his dorm would be the most organized and decorated too oughhgh
he’d be the lucky mf that gets the biggest dorm on the first floor (with like two other roommates but they respect his privacy and all that)
he’d probably be able to get away with dorm policy violations (ie. cooking with an iron or something Not meant for cooking in his dorm instead of the nasty ass moldy ass communal kitchen) by batting his eyelashes and sweet-talking to the woman that oversees the dorms or smth (i’m blanking and i completely forgot what it’s called)
overall the luckiest bitch ever
we should all aspire to be sunoo tbh
if you’re a man and you’re not sunoo … thin fucking ice. do better. /hj
jungwon: biochem major, going for med (specifically oncology, the study of cancer?)
sorry in advance to any ppl in medical 🫶i’m gonna get every part of this wrong lmao
he’s one of Those Guys that’s known exactly what they’re doing since like … middle school
important question: would it be bc he gave into the classic asian parent pressure into becoming a doctor?
they might've played a tiny role in it but i think he'd genuinely wanna go into medical bc he's insane
definitely gets the best scores out of everyone in his class (idk if they use bell curves in med but if not he’d get solid 90s on everything)
i could see him with his life together tbh
homework always done a week before, healthy lunches he makes himself, clear skin, all that jazz
definitely has a merit-based scholarship
probably got a 1560 on the SAT too 😒 lucky ass bitch
i hate to say it
i really do
but he'd be the mf that reminds the teacher abt homework
“ermmmm mr. kim you said we had a pop quiz at the end of class” followed by him being beaten to a pulp
(w reaction/lh)
really cares about getting into a good med school
would DEFINITELY have like two internships every summer
so to recap: basically every asian med student ever (i’m friends with far too many rip med kids)
at least they won't be replaced with ai …
heeseung crying in the distance
NEWAYS
for a med student i feel like he’d be busy 24/7 but he wouldn’t Look like it?
like if you’ve seen a med student, even in hs, they look like they lost a fight to a rabid raccoon
but for some reason jungwon has his shit together like the neurotypical know-it-all he is 😒/lh please don’t kill me
seeing as he’s known what he wants to do since like … middle school in this au, i think he’d fs be on top of all the content he’s learned, if not ahead of everyone else
i’d trust him to be my doctor 🫡
actually no i wouldn’t
riki: theater major w/a visual art minor (get it bc he’s a minor) (i’m hilarious LAUGH)
he’s a quiet little guy, definitely sits in the back of the lecture hall
would milk the SHIT out of being a minority for scholarships and applications
i'm talking his common app essay abt being socially isolated and politically aware, i'm talking abt using any and all minority scholarships possible – in the eyes of the law (and the college board), riki is now half hispanic
i’d say his grades would be pretty decent, not much in the A+ zone (96-100) but at the very least, B+’s
really not that bad tbh
he’d SO be a theater kid in hs
tell me he wouldn't be those mfs that have the whole hamilton soundtrack memorized and break out into random song and dance at inappropriate times
i bet he’d ship hamilton and laurens 💀
neways
i feel like he'd like art as a class but suck at meeting deadlines and portfolio assignments n stuff
which is valid tbh i don’t think any kind of teacher of the arts (not just visual) should be too strict abt that
classes with him and sunoo would make him INSUFFERABLE omg
if you put them next to e/o they won't shut up
which is cute don't get me wrong
but makes trying to work IMPOSSIBLE
but when they're separated he’d be dead silent
you wouldn't even notice he's there tbh
overall a dedicated student with the occasional tendency to be silly and goofy
i feel like his resume would be pretty to make up for the lack of content actually on it
i'm talking canva pro graphics, fancy fonts, graphic design is his passion (not literally)
logically the best career path for him based on his degrees would be a set designer …
but obv he’s either an actor or the manager
probably an actor being a stage manager SUCKS
(don’t get me wrong it’s fun i’ve done it before but oh my GOD. if you ever wanna lose hair really fast become a backstage manager it’ll work 100%)
bonus: best-dressed in class
sunoo - you’ll never catch him slipping tbh 🤷 he’d have the most free time out of the others and would probably spend his time going out and putting together silly little outfits and being cute and adorable bc it’s kim sunoo That’s Just How He Is
jay - light academia light academia light academia light academia light academia
sunghoon (unintentionally) - his sense of style in college would be mid, truly meh, nothing special to look at but his looks make up for the boring attire (hubba hubba 😍) – the type to wear a white t-shirt, timbs, and jeans to class every day (get it 2017 jungkook 😍), maybe even a jacket. his sense of style would be as spicy as salt so not spicy at all, it’s giving unseasoned, boiled chicken
riki - he just Doesn’t Care but thankfully all the items in his closet would be usable (thanks to sunoo, that man would NOT let riki leave the house without running his outfits by him. his logic is that no best friend of his should look like a dumpsterfire !!)
jungwon - similar to jake, no time !! matching sweatshirts and sweatpants ftw
jake - politics majors have no sanity or connection to the real world bc it drives you INSANE after a month, cut him some slack :(
heeseung - the venn diagram of ppl with no sense of fashion and cs majors is a circle.

I don't know. I feel like you lost your hope that byler will be endgame in season 5? I feel like you lost your natural joy in general. I can feel that in the way you write your tells. You seem less dynamic,less happy to be here. It's not a criticism at all, just something I've personally noticed so I wondered if you are doing okay rn.
I'm sorry that I've not been as joyful :(
I'm still sick and don't have much energy these days so it could be part of that too, but yeah I'm not as confident in byler as I was after all of these news, the revelations about the play made me lose hope in a good storyline in general because if they don't care even about the supernatural story why would they make a good story for the characters and not one that can "shock" the audiences and that's it
Do they really care about the details of the story if they change big things this easily just for convenience? Was all the foreshadowing we found just a coincidence or are we misreading things? Maybe they think putting it only because Will is in love with Mike is a good idea even if they don't plan on making them endgame?
Maybe the rainbows were all because of this rainbow operation ship thing of the play and not much about the gay coding? I don't even know anymore.
Do they even care about the themes they presented previously after seeing that they don't even stand up for the innocent Palestinians and don't recognize a state that's acting as an oppressor in the real world? That's also what I'm asking myself about them as a team of writers and as people
I know they don't have to say things but they did for other occasions... that whole speech David made was just a spectacle and not the principles of the people involved in the show?
I loved this show because it seemed like they wanted to convey a message that they aren't upholding outside of it now so why would they uphold it in the finale of the show
and in general outside of stranger things the situation around the world is fucked up and I've been sad for that too, watching the graphic videos I've seen this month impacted me, watching people I care about not care at all also impacted my view of them and it feels lonely irl like I don't have friends because we are too different in basic values, and I was already depressed for other things in my life outside of all of this going back to Italy to my old life was depressing, having to live with my parents again makes me in a bad mood every single day because of how they talk to me
Also the whole fandom seems dead anyway, people have decided to leave stranger things because of what the actors and Ross did (which is completely valid) so there isn't even much to interact with in my dash at least
I'm sorry that I can't find a way to be more happy but it's just not a good period at all for me... I hope to find back my passion for the show and the fandom when they start filming, I'm just really afraid that my favourite character will be mistreated again in the end and I'm not sure about what they think will be a good "happy" ending at the moment
In general I think that even starting from a place where I didn't expect too much from them I may have highly overestimated their writing and maybe the redditors are right and stranger things will end up being that type of shitty (imo) story "the 80s nostalgia straight show" that they want

whats ur fav video game(s)?
OOOOOH THATS A GOOD QUESTION ummm lets see. im kind of ass at a lot of games that require a lot of speed and precision so it's mostly story-based and puzzle games. ok im bad at favs but here's some good ones and brief sales pitches in no particular order ...
STORIES UNTOLD is a ~puzzle game that unfolds in four parts with mechanics varying from those of the text-based adventure to full walkaround horror shit. over the course of play you gradually get a sense of what's really going on and how all of the parts are connected. it's extremely extremely cool and feels like a weird dream sequence it's great
HYPNOSPACE OUTLAW is some kind of exploration game that takes place on a fictional second internet circa 1999. play feels not dissimilar to surfing wikipedia. it's incredibly elaborate and vast and was crafted with a lot of love for the cultural phenomena of the internet both then and now. its soundtrack is also like 6 hours and incredible
THIMBLEWEED PARK was my first ever point-and-click adventure game and it's so cool. it's a very funny game and has a lot of fun puzzles ... it's shorter but it's also got one of the best soundtracks on this list check this out
KENTUCKY ROUTE ZERO is probably the most beautiful game i've ever played. i completed it earlier this year. it's so beautifully written and there's not a character in it who isn't in competition for most compelling motherfucker there. its visuals are also just so perfect dude. i really like itttt
DISCO ELYSIUM i nearly forgot to include because i was like nah everyone in the world already knows how amazing and immersive and vast and well-done de is. it is probably the best game on this list. it takes place in the most fleshed-out fictional world i've ever interacted with and every second of it screams "this is The work of someone's life." there's also a fantastic novel "sacred and terrible air" which takes place in the same world, which i also suggest ...
PATRICK'S PARABOX is one of those really mind-fucking puzzle games like baba is you if you're familiar (which would probably also be on this list if i got further in it than i did.) it's one of those games with an extremely simple premise that contorts into one of the most complicated things you've ever tried to wrap your brain around. recursion is so fucked up dude
THE PROCESS OF ELIMINATION is a pretty good free web game that irs umm i hear its author is a pretty cool guyy and uhhh i ummmm. it's pretty good ...... it's a hypertext-based adventure about a piece of spyware which an architect uses to monitor local crime and which his son uses to stalk this redditor he's crushing on. ibwill make another one eventually
HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY GAMESLIST ... 👍
