If Mike had the same focus on his mental health as part of his character arc in season 4 like Max did, he wouldnât be as a disliked character by the general audience as he currently is.
Iâm being serious.
Their behaviors throughout season 4 are similar enough to draw parallels between them.
They both treat Lucas like crap in less than ideal terms.
They both get their declining academic performance pointed out by another character.
They are both hiding things from people, and being open and honest about it could help them but they wonât do it.
They both mistreat and push away someone they love.
They both lack self-preservation, which leads them to have suicidal tendencies and put their lives at risk.
The show even makes a point of putting Mike next to Max in two of the symptoms mentioned in the Vecnaâs curse.
The only difference is that Maxâs character has a huge focus this season, and most of it is centers on her deteriorating mental state. On the other hand, the only time Mike gets a chance to explicitly and verbally acknowledge that he is struggling with something, he admonishes himself for caring about something so irrelevant considering the ongoing situation, and the scene shifts to be about Will and his disguised confession through the painting.
.
.
.
So, with all being said... what could this possibly mean for Mike in season 5? Well, Ms. Kelly said it best:
#mike wheeler#max mayfield#byler#<<< target audience#poor lucas; i guess that it's the price he pays for being the only emotional stable member of the party#also before anyone try to say anything#i absolutely loved max's storyline this season and will's confession in the van is one of more favorite scenes#so don't put words in my words and make me out to be someone i'm not

The limited character class selection is probably the weakest part of Rogue Trader as a party based RPG.
Of the party members you get in a typical run, there are 3 Warriors, 3 Operatives, 2 Soldiers, and 2 Officers. One of the recruitable Soldiers is locked into Arch-militant, and one of the recruitable Warriors is locked to Assassin.
Assuming you choose different tier 2 archetypes for each character, it's not possible to not have any party overlap.
#Rogue Trader#Like if I want use my favorite party members what do I play#If I go operative sniper that's already done by Yrliet#Cassia is the best Officer possible#Argenta is already a good Arch-militant Soldier#Heinrix and Idira both have 2 psyker trees open to them while a player can only start with one

#omg I just watched the best movie on Hulu#weâll actually I just watched two movies on Hulu#the first was one of my guilty favorite genre of movie#(aka centered around homophobic straight person/people learning their family member/friend is gay and going through it about it)#(I can actually list at least 4 of those movies of the top of my head and today I watched the 4th)#(okay okay the 4 movies I can think of are:#mambo italiano 2003#oy vey my son is gay 2009#fourth man out 2015#hazlo como hombre (which is basically 4th man out but in Mexico)#all of these movies suck ofc ofc)#but the SECOND movie I watched was *chefs kiss* actually a good movie#itâs called Dramarama 2020 and itâs basically a bunch of Christian theater kids going nuts during a college going away party#and itâs also set in the 90s for some reason#it was literally so funny and tense and charming and real#literally highly recommend it 1000/100#slav#slav every day#voltron

Oh god I need to know it anyone else noticed Nanba and Saeko have a different relationship than she has with anyone else in the group? Plus Ichibanâs most natural flirting is aimed at Zhao even without player input đđđ
nanba and saeko def have a really cute relationship, i adore their interactions immensely (â´âĄ`â)
and lbr ichi's matching zhao's energy alright. insert zhao 'kasuga-kun' compilation here
#snap chats#honestly i love how saeko interacts with everyone- like she never feels like The Girl of the group she just feels like a part of the group#yk what i mean ? like i feel like in a lot of other casts where theres one/few girls they stick out like sore thumbs#because of how the other cast members and the media treats her but with saeko its like#Yeah No She's Here. She's A Girl But That Doesn't Mean Much#like obvi there's some instances like her offering to be a hostess but Tactical Necessity right#and honestly even the party chats she has with everyone are so nice too i love them so much#i love the one where she and adachi are roleplayin having kansai accents that shits so cute and funny#sorry for the impromptu saeko rant i just never express how much i loved her character and contribution to y7#yk whats funny tho as i was walking to my computer i thought about making a nanba post and lo and behold#it wasnt a major one it was just me going 'i cant believe that during my VA ramble i forgot one of my favorite fun facts#and that's greg chun also voices ike from fire emblem' because ike's been My Baby since like. 2008#he's still jason adkins to me </3 but i mean greg chun also voiced luke from shadows of valentia#ok ill stop with the VA talk i promise thats the only one i wanted to update on#thats a lie but i'm forcing myself to stay semi on topic#ichi and zhao are funny too theyre such fuckin goobers#like ichi definitely dicks with zhao the most- or at least zhao matches his energy the most equally imo#Y7's cast and relationships are just top tier thats all i can really say#i love how despite eri being an optional character she still has party chats with everyone#i love eri.... BUT thats a post for another day#im either A.) going to continue trying to figure out how modding works B.) play smash ultimate

Girl it has been SOOOOOO long that I don't remember much from animal jam! But I do remember buying fox hats.
For some reason the thing that sticks out to me the most is trying to break the ice on the arctic level. I don't think it was actually a thing but I did organize like 30 people to do the jump emote on the ice. It cracks but doesn't break!
Also if you ever got a friend request + a postcard that was like "I have no friends to trade rare items with đ˘" I was stealing. Sorry ajdbjshshkakakal
u say that and then im over here busting out fucking evreything. i remember when the flag shop was added. when the doctors office was removed. when the arcade room was added. the little duckie game at the bottom of the town center. aldan was the most popular server. the daily christmas login gifts. gecko geckogecko gecko gecko gecko gecko gecko geckogeckogeckogecko. true jammers remember the original animals were wolf seal monkey koala and panda and that was IT and koalas were considered UGLY for some reason. and appondale wasnt in the original game. i dont think shiveer was either but i could be wrong
what youre talking about had 3 variants too. the ice on mount shiveer the bridge in coral canyon (?) the the broken statue thing near/in the temple of zios. there was also one with the phantoms i think but i cant remember when or where that was. that was aj's version of tip the iceberg except ours never worked JKHDJKGAGGJ
if you werent grinding the sky high game in the canyon for the sweet sweet chance at a rare item then u werent living im sorry to say !!!!!
also this video is very cringe (i say because i was friends w this person KJDHGJKD it came from the heart of like. a 14 year old) but im in it so BITCH
#(exposes how mentally ill i was for this game)#i think my favorite game from the release was like... the one in the forest where two peoples animals have parachutes#and you have to dodge the phantoms to make it to the bottom#AND WHAT ABOUT THE TWISTER GAME? HM???????#i will admit the game went severely downhill when they started adding ftp elements. because then so much shit became locked behind#Membership. This Is A Members Only Item! gargle my cock and BALLS!#i remember i played the beta when i FIRST heard about it probably in 2010. but then i came back full force about a year or so later#and i met one of my best friends who admittedly i dont talk to that often anymore :( but i try#and weve been friends since i was 11 and he 13 :) through animal jam!!!!!#he would probably be very proud i have this much information retained in my brain. solely about animal jam#and we met at a leap year party!! :D#snail mail

favorite trope is someone trying to do some sort of heroic self-sacrifice-y thing and someone else (or the whole group) is jsut like "NOPE, nope, not happening, no, have a nice day." and effectively ends it.
i think it's great when someone tries to pull off a tragic self-sacrifice in a story and there's at least one guy who's just like "no this is fucking stupid actually. you're an idiot." about it. because it kind of is. i love a good tragedy but let's be honest with ourselves if a friend tried to indulge a noble sacrifice fantasy would you not be a little annoyed. like come on man.
#one of my favorite encounters in rolling with difficulty (it's a D&D play podcast go listen) is when an NPC tries to sacrifice himself#for the party and a party member just yanks him back into the spaceship#overly sarcastic productions

Why would I draw or further flesh out the other members of Chou's party when I can instead think abt how all of them play in game and spiral out into making up a shit ton of other game mechanics that do not matter to the actual story
#rat rambles#stars posting#this is my new favorite playground I need large stick lady to cast spell of hit you really hard#well ok shes more of a defensive unit in my minds eye but she will also hit things with her big stick#I do imagine her as the type of character that Can do some mad dps but shed be an extremely selfish dps unit which doesnt work well with#the rest of the party since most of them are quite frail#her damage scales off of her shields which scale off of her hp which means that to do her max damage shed need to not be hit oftem#which goes against most of the rest of her kit as shes mostly about taunting enemies and intercepting attacks with some parry abilities#so generally shes a unit that wants to get hit but can also do good damage if you need to take a more aggressive route with a fight#the other girl is the local multihit gambler queen who is also the speedy speedster of the party#shes a much more selfish unit with basically only attacking abilities#she can do pretty good damage if youre willing to get her buffs set up but she rly starts to shine once she gets access to equipment that#lets her hit more times and abilities that can raise her own stats or lower enemy stats#chou is more of a commander type character here if that makes sense? theyre mostly about buffing allies and turn juggling#they have like 3 abilities that allow them to give away their turn each buffing different stats#later on they ofc shift their playstyle completely but for most of the initial journey that was their role and playstyle#aaand Im still working out the other two because Im not sure if I want the party to have a proper healer or not#because on the one hand chou and the girl⢠are both rather frail to start off with so they'd appreciate a healer but on the other hand they#already have big stick girl and I feel like giving them a healer would make this hypothetical game too easy#so Im thinking maybe a more stable dps unit like odile is? one who has access to all craft types early on and can consistently do damage#and for the kid Im imagining them as having a similar role to bonnie but a bit more reliable but also less impactful#as in you can actually tell them what to do but they take a while to charge their action after you tell them what to do and they have less#that they can do with them mostly managing excess items#oh important context Im imagining a item pouch system here where party members each have to carry their own items into battle and can only#carry a couple at a time so you have to fill your item slots wisely and be careful how you use your items in battle#and theres also a bunch of other miscellaneous mechanics I imagine being around too but its mostly typical rpg stuff#look its my au I can make a fake video game of it in my head if I want to#anyways I time to crash gn gamers#new game+

one of my favorite things about laios is that he does get judgemental and annoyed by his party members but he keeps it to himself to avoid (further) confrontation. it's hilarious

After watching Cinderella (the original animated movie, which was my favorite as a child), it strikes me how it solves many common problems people have with this fairy tale. Like:
Why did they try to identify the mystery girl using her shoe size? Because the bullheaded king's only clue to her identity was the shoe the Grand Duke picked up off the steps.
Why didn't the prince recognize her by her face? Because his father wouldn't involve him in the process at all, and wasn't the one going around trying to find her.
Why did the prince want to marry a lady he only met that night? Because his father was going to force him to marry someone, and he genuinely liked this woman.
Why did Cinderella want to marry a man she only met that night? Because marriage was her best and most secure way to freedom. Fucked up, but you can't say it's unrealistic for the setting of a fairy tale. She also genuinely liked him.
If they're using the slipper to find her, wouldn't it be more sensible to search for the person with the other slipper? Yes. The King is purposefully nonsensical and the Duke is purposefully terrified enough of him to carry out his orders to the letter. Furthermore, they end up doing that in the end anyway, because the Duke's glass slipper is shattered, and Cinderella brings out the one she has to prove her identity.
Why didn't the stepmother and stepsisters recognize Cinderella at the ball? Because they were dancing too far away, and then left the party to dance in private, which was possible because the King wanted very badly for his son to hit it off with someone and tried to arrange the best conditions for that to happen.
Why didn't Cinderella save herself? Because in real life, abuse victims should not have to shoulder that responsibility, and usually can't. In real life, you need and deserve an external support system. Asking for help, in this kind of situation, is very important. She is saved by others because she is loved. Because she is not alone. Because she has friends who love her, and want her to be happy and safe and free. Because in real life, people who want to help someone who is suffering are like the mice. We can't pull out miracle solutions, but we can provide companionship and if we're in the right place at the right time, we can help the person find a better life.
Why didn't the fairy godmother save Cinderella from her abusive household, or try to help her sooner? Because she's magic, and magic can't solve your problems. Quote: "Like all dreams, well, I'm afraid it can't last forever." This (and Cinderella's dream of going to the ball) is a metaphor for pleasurable things in bad circumstances. An ice cream won't get rid of your depression, but it will provide you with momentary happiness to bolster you, as well as the reminder that happiness in general is still possible for you. Cinderella doesn't want to go to the ball so she can get away from her stepmother and stepsisters, or so she can meet someone to marry and leave with. She wants to go to the ball to remind herself that she can still have things she wants. That her desires matter. This is important because the movie does a very good job of illustrating Lady Tremaine's subtle abuse tactics, all of which invisibly press the message that Cinderella doesn't matter. While going to the ball and fulfilling her dreams may not be a victory in the material sense, it is still a victory against Lady Tremaine's efforts.
Why is Cinderella's choice to be kind and obedient framed as a good thing, when you are not obligated to be kind to your abuser? This one walks a very fine line, but I think the movie still makes it make sense. Lady Tremaine never acknowledges her cruelty. She always frames her punishments of Cinderella as Cinderella's fault. Cinderella is interrupting, Cinderella is shirking her duties, Cinderella is playing vicious practical jokes. Cinderella is still a member of the family, of course she can go to the ball, provided she meet these impossible conditions. Lady Tremaine's tactics are designed to make Cinderella feel like she must always be in the wrong and her stepmother must always be in the right. If Cinderella calls her stepmother out on her cruelty, or attempts to fight back, Lady Tremaine can frame that as Cinderella being ungrateful, cruel, broken, evil, etc. If Cinderella responds to her stepmother's cruelty defiantly (in the way she's justified to), she's not taking control out of Lady Tremaine's hands. Disobedience can be spun back into her stepmother's control. She wants Cinderella to be angry and sad and show how much she's hurting. So since Cinderella is adapting to her situation, she chooses to be kind. Not only because she naturally wants to be and it's part of her personality, but because it is a form of defiance in its own way, and it allows her to keep a reminder of her agency and value. Her choice to be kind is her chance to keep her own narrative alive: she is not obeying because her stepmother wants her to and she has to do what her stepmother does, but because she wants to. It's a small distinction, but one that makes all the difference in terms of keeping her hope and identity. (Fuck, I wrote a whole paragraph about how this doesn't mean you can't be angry at people who hurt you or that you need to be kind to deserve help, and then deleted it by accident. Uh. Try again.) Expressing anger and pain is an important part of regaining autonomy and healing. Although it is commendable to be kind while you are suffering, it is NOT required for you to get help or be worthy of help. If Cinderella's recovery was explored beyond "happily ever after" she would need to let herself be angry and sad to heal. Cinderella is not only kind because it comes naturally to her, but because it's her defense against the abuse she's suffering. Everyone's story and experiences are different, and one does not invalidate the other.
Bonus round for answers that aren't part of the movie:
Why didn't Cinderella run away? Where would she go? Genuinely, in hundreds-of-years-ago France, where would she go if she snuck out of the window with a change of clothes? With her step-family, she's miserable and abused, but she's fed, clothed, and in no danger of dying or being taken advantage of by anyone other than her stepmother and stepsisters. Even if she escapes and manages to find financial security, her stepmother might be able to find her and get her back.
Why didn't Cinderella burn the house down with them inside it/slit their throats in the night/poison their food/etc.? Because that's a revenge fantasy, and this story is a fantasy about being saved. There's nothing wrong with making Cinderella into a revenge fantasy. That's perfectly fine, as long as you acknowledge that the other type of fantasy is also a valid interpretation. (I mean, the original fairy tale features the stepsisters getting their feet mutilated and all three of them getting their eyes pecked out, so go for it.)
Why isn't Cinderella more proactive in general? Because she's a child who has been abused for the back half of her life, who has had to be focused on survival because. you know. she's an abused kid.
How did she dance in glass slippers? Gotta agree with you there man, that's weird.
