casey is obvs funny with this rivalry stuff because on the one hand he's very 'well I don't care who I beat' (lie) and 'I don't motivate myself using my rivals' (also a lie) and then he's also repeatedly emphasising that valentino was ONE of his biggest rivals and he only competed against him a few years... like a lil side quest in the story of his career. Those Few Years where valentino was his big rival. whereas dani and jorge were his cohort so he did compete with them for a greater span of time... and this is technically true and does MATTER but it is also extremely noticeable in his output which rivalry he has the most thoughts about. and yes casey would say that this is because everyone ELSE cares the most about That One Rivalry the most and also his opponent being an annoying dickhead means it's the one he has the most complaints about... but at a certain point, it doesn't really matter, because there's still one rivalry you're talking about way more than any other. you can tell that he's at least given jorge's interiority a bit of thought, kinda went 'well he was arrogant but also Learnt From The Error Of His Ways and was maybe misunderstood so' -- but also he's not going beyond that, he's not examining jorge's soul, and he's not even doing any of that with dani. it's very much a rhetorical commitment to those other two rivalries. ultimately the point is that he's doing what he can to not talk up his biggest rivalry TOO much, because, you see. he Did Not Care That Much. (lie.) now objectively speaking this kind of framing literally does not matter, who cares which one of these was the most meaningful rivalry, but it's interesting that it matters to him!! casey's problem is that he is extremely sensitive and cares deeply about what other people say about him, but one of the things he's most sensitive about is the idea that he could let himself be mentally affected by ANYTHING, worst of all his rivals. they cannot be granted that much power over him. and all of this has kinda funny consequences in that he has pretty rigid patterns in how he talks about this stuff that are at times quite convoluted because he has to simultaneously emphasise that a) none of his rivals massively mattered to him, b) That Rival didn't matter more than the others, c) what That Rival did to him was completely beyond the pale, and d) none of that affected him mentally whatsoever. at most one of these is true. there are so many things casey wants so badly not to care about but it keeps spilling out of him anyway, this oozing sludge of resentment and repressed hopes and desires and frustration and longing and bitterness. he keeps giving himself away... he cares so much and he can't stand it
#i do feel bad sometimes using a clip from when he was like. eighteen as my smoking gun piece of evidence for the prosecution#but come on. that valencia 2003 clip is insanely telling. like yeah right you loved beating a guy sponsored by the circuit#it's kinda like dyke!vale tormenting his first gp rival into throwing in the towel. those are the Key Character Traits they're exhibiting#//#brr brr#heretic tag#i do also think there's some interviews where there's like. some real retconning. like casey that was Not You#that one interview where he was going in HARD about how jorge/dani were confused about how happy he was for them winning#and like casey buddy there's an element of truth to but you could be a notoriously sore loser!! mr 'a podium this far off isn't worth it'#and it's partly stuff he's talked about before with how self-critical he was... but of COURSE it could come across as unpleasant#i am doing my best not to get repetitive so this is the LAST time i am airing this complaint for a couple months at least#but the problem is if you have the starting point of him as like. a straight talking straight shooter or whatever#you do automatically miss a lot of the nuance with which he's constructing his own image#it's honesty based on vibes rather than literal honesty. u can be blunt and calculating idk what to tell u#im so fascinated if the jorge wheelchair story is true... i recently remembered it was also in the broadbent book#and that ducati pr people had like. gotten mad about it. which does fill one or two gaps and makes me think maybe it DID happen#idk there's something quite revealing about it!! casey isn't just a dickhead in the classic athlete mould. he's got a *nastiness* to him#all the aliens are occupational dickheads. only two of them i'd say have a real inclination towards nastiness

nggahh sometimes i’m really good at creating missable communication cues that i think are clear, explicit requests for help but are apparently confusing enough that other people just take them as feel good expressions of existing gratitude and don’t comprehend that I was asking for something and then it backfires into me being rather hurt and unhappy with them
me: please do this thing for me please. btw i am asking/telling you this because i think you might actually do it and i am quite grateful for that
them: ((aw ebil said something about being grateful for us.)) thanks : )) Glad we can be here for you : ))) you are welcome for that < 3
me: wait why are you smiling and walking away. aren’t you going to— wait — wait come back,
#maybe if i stop couching stuff in preemptive gratitude that’ll cut down on confusion?#my message was probably confusing.#but. at some point I’m more likely to adjust who I spend my energy and sincerity on rather than—#—keep assuming that the problem is me and i need to create perfect communication that every human being on earth will get#I don’t have to be/stay close with everyone just because people Haven’t Done Anything Wrong and we’ve known each other for a while#anyway. am dealing with some shit. I don’t really feel like posting it on tumblr rn + also don’t currently feel like im hurting for support

in the entire trilogy I think the first movie is my favorite, but I'm ngl. If neither world tour or band together existed I probably wouldn't even be here
#yapping#i watched the first movie yearssss ago in a time that i dont even remember my opinion of it at first but i think i liked it#then maybe i remember seeing world tour advertised at one point in theaters? but iirc it released on 2020 so it was kinda an awkward time#so im not sureif thats true. but i do remember not being that interested in checking. it out#then at some point velvet and veneer was popping up everywhere on twitter. the our parents were dentists clip in particular#andi remember going like. cool.#AND THEN fast forward to a few months later i was going on a movie binge and remembered trolls existed and decided to check them out#i almost even confused band together as the second movie at first LOL#and now we're here. what the hell happened. i dont fucking know#but i was surprised to see it had a pretty big(!?) following on tumblr like i completely diddnt expect to see much. and my first search#was 'funk trolls' lmfao.#AND ANOTHER THING. im kinda impressed that i hadnt seen any type of spoiler. didnt even know brozome existed until i watched the third movie#ITS SOOOO FUNNNY BC I GET THE BOYBAND HOMAGE NOW BUT I REMEMBER BEING LIKE.#why doesnt he have a sister 😒 this sucks ass 😒 give me a woman 😒😒😒#and thats why i love viva andpoppy <3 even though at this point. theyre just used for marketing and werent really used to the best of their#potential in the third movie <3 thats okay <3 cause im a professional in Makin Stuff Up In My Head#didnt mean to yap this much in tags oops

i do wish i was better at communicating with people online and through technology. i wander into conversations and make new ones all the time irl with random people and its fun but im like hyping myself to type out a single response to a Post. and to say nothing of how difficult it is to get me to say something in a discord server
#or even video or audio calls are becoming hard for me rn. i used to be better at this#i used to be sooo good at talking to people online. maybe. or maybe not actually#now that i think about it ive always been a little outside of everything in both irl and online communities ive been in#you know i was part of the mods for a deviantart species a long time ago. i was pretty bad at my job i was always too slow to actually mod#and one day i came home from school and like the entire modbase imploded because of drama on a discord or smth they had that i wasnt in LOL#tbh i was a bit older than all of them and busy with final year of highschool stuff so i wasnt super present. i think they just had me on#because while i wasnt particularly popular as an artist i did have some eyecatching polish on my art. but it was wild i was like#whats going on. who are you people. where am i. i have to apply to ouac rn i dont know whats happening#wait random ass deviantart drama i was vaguely adjacent to but still dont really know what happened aside. i would like to chat more#i think the easiest way to converse with me is commenting on my posts like theyre forum threads. or dming me. sometimes#im so bad with group chats. especially if they have multiple channels. the only group chat ive stuck with is a tiny one with like#two other friends and we just write thoughts and about our day and pictures of animals and whatever#i get confused and scared in discords. i get so confused and scared#i used to be okay with discord calls but even with that ive been struggling. am i scared of the computer#am i scared of the computer. the machine. whats happening

i think i do want amy and rouge to be in the next sonic movie, especially if its gonna be an sa2 adaptation, but i cant help but worry that if they try to introduce shadow AND rouge AND amy in the same movie then at least one of those characters (most likely amy. tbh.) isnt gonna get the amount of screentime and development that they deserve. especially considering in the game timeline amy was introduced much earlier and by sa2 was already an established character while rouge and shadow were the newcomers. and then theres also the human characters who are gonna be making the cast a lot bigger than it was in the game so more people to divide the screentime among. like what if amy is in sonic 3 and she gets like 5 minutes of screentime and her big moment with shadow is given to another character again
#though i guess the sa2 based story being amy's introduction#could also open an opportunity for her to play a bigger role in the plot than she did in the original ... hmm....#ive seen some people suggest the idea of amy or rouge being introduced in the knuckles series but i dont think i want that either?#the knuckles series should act as something that adds to the experience but isnt necessary to understand the next movie#i know we're all extremely autistic about sonic here but try to think of it from the perspective of a casual viewer#if i were a casual viewer of a movie series and didnt actively keep up with news for it and didnt know about any spinoff stuff#and suddenly a new character who was introduced in secondary material shows up in the next movie#and the writing treats me as if im supposed to know who they are. i would find that confusing and annoying actually#also with the whole. big cast of characters making me worried that certain characters wont get as much screentime as they should thing#i know in sonic 2 their way of getting around this was like. putting the characters into groups and pairs#that they stick with for long portions of the movie instead of there being a bunch of solo scenes for each character#and the most plot relevant characters all kinda join up at the end and do stuff together#which i guess could probably work for sonic 3 . so maybe im worrying over nothing

thinking about demisexual/aspec amir so hard tonight. like im rotating it in my head. how amir talks about his dates being cuddle buddies... "all i wanna do is lay down and hug".... not knowing what frenching really is.... test results episode where jakes like "but you've never really..." (HOW DOES HE KNOW THIS BTW???) ... the undertones that amir's friendship with jake as it is is 100% fulfilling for him . . .. grh.gh...hg. as a demisexual person.... GOD...... GODDDDDDDD. . .. . im SO abnormal about it
#thinking about janda stuff .... like an AU where jake and amir do get together in some capacity#and jake kind of has an inkling about it... but hes also a little confused ... and they work through it together....#ourghhgghrh hgh rh ghr gh rh rhrh rh.h gh gh. ]herh tht#sorry. im just. im just. god. im just here sitting hiere .#am i projecting a little bit??? maybe. maybe so.#dont TOUCH me.#lfkmgdlfgkdfg#mirmir#jamir#thoughts within thoughts

God thinking about the dlc, it was so good but I've got so many unanswered questions
#genuinely thought brair was gonna be evil. i mean the way she was drawn in that one promotional art work. maybe it was just a red herring#also. i feel like arven should of at least known that brair was poking around his mums stuff. like it feels a little insensitive#but then again idk if brair was aware of sadas passing. or if she knew it happened in area 0#though im pretty sure at one point kieran mentions she was looking through private stuff of sadas.#anyways idc if brairs not a villian. im just not fond of her#also what about that peach pokèmon found within the games files? wasnt it meant to be important to the lousy 3?#and kierans sudden change in behavior?#i have seen some people say that jts going to be a mythical mon. which is okay with me#anyways. i know it seems im complaining a lot . but the things i enjoy about the dlc vastly outwthe things that confused me#pokèmon#the indigo disk#pokemon dlc spoilers

trying to start S2 Ep 6 of IWTV and I've already paused it like 10x in the first 10 minutes because it's just kinda getting hard to care what they're going on about and I keep getting distracted tbh
#idk if i will end up finishing it#it's kinda losing me#idk it's frustrating that this show def cares about the characters & the source material but there's just a few too many things bugging me#like i havent watched any other VC adaptation before that actually felt to me like the actors and writers had read the books#and cared about the deeper parts of the characters other than this one (and MAYBE tom cruise as lestat in the 90s movie actually lol)#so thats a nice win for it#but also its just not doing it for me aesthetically and some of the show writing choices and changes ruined certain big things for me#like ruined me sympathizing with lestat and/or caring about his relationship with louis at all. and some of the stuff about claudia too#and now im just getting confused by the plot and i dont know if it's because im zoning out or mixing up the show timeline w the books#maybe ill just take a break from it and finish rereading the third book instead#this is kinda why i dont watch shows or ever finish them either usually too like#they so rarely stay good all the way through and its just hard for me to stay interested past a season or two regardless#i feel like i can only maintain interest in short form videos (like movies) and long form writing (like novels/book series) sometimes#not a big fan of short stories and not a big fan of long tv series#i have no idea why#other than i find tv series often overstay their welcome and short stories often leave me unsatisfied in the opposite way#p#vmpcs

wednesday: me (punk jacket bascially consisting of patches only), my best friend (most normal-looking person ever with a flare for second-hand men's shirts) and another friend (metalhead but then a stylish red mullet and black leather jacket) just walking along
a group of weird-ass guys with no hobbies: YO THE EMO GANG
thursday: me (still punk like c'mon i'm waaaay too colourful for emo) and two literally just normal-ass looking guys just walking along the street
that same group of guys, most likely: OHH YOU'RE THE BIG HERO *something something* EMOS
literally i'm so confused?? one why do they feel the need to do that. two at least pick people who look like any alt style? like isn't it just embarrassing to call normal ass people emos for walking. like okay wednesday 2/3 looked alt but thurday? also why were they moaning. why do they think they're the hottest shit. why's the majority of (mostly cis boys but tbh it you get some from everyone) people my age so. unbearably stupid?
#the worst thing about puberty is evryone going fucking nuts#this refers to both my hormones and a solid 60% at least of people i interact with on the daily#theyre not funny. theyre offensive. they have no hobbies. they spout the stupidest shit ever#like maybe im also unfunny and say stupid stuff but at least i mind my own business#what is the appeal#THERE IS NO FUCKING REASON#THATS NOT EVEN SOME SICK ASS BURN YOURE JUST CONFUSING#im questioning if theyre human#like im mildly annoyed but not really bothered. im just. just. WHY#theyre calling random people emos and yell across the entire street. were making up a scifi world were longass stick through ur head are a#fashion trend and also the norm and think about possible consequences in architecture etc. we are not the same#a biscuit's rambles

literally such a tragedy what channel zero did to search and rescue woods youre telling me the author lost the publishing rights for THAT like im still so mad. we could have had a book. we could have had a book
#sorry i hate the third season of channel zero always have and im speaking my truth now HJKDLSJHFKD#okay like. channel zero in general. the first season is like#i wouldnt say its good. honestly it started okay and kinda intriguing#and then got kinda bad. and then at one point it flipped back around and became camp to me#so i kinda like the first season but through no credit of itself HJKHJKDS#and as an adaptation i thought it was like too confusing for people unfamiliar with the creepypasta but too uninterested in the details#of said creepypasta to appeal to fans of it. but it was a bit camp. a little bit#the second season was fine. it wasnt perfect but i thought it held up decently as a story and as an adaptation#i never got around to watching the fourth season. i hear it was fine#but that third season was WRETCHED i remember it being rated well as a story but it was so like. disrespectful as an adaptation#(also it was too focused on gore and blood for me at the time. like i dont mind gore but it felt so like. meaningless?)#(and i wasnt sure about its depiction of mental health at the time but maybe my opinion would change nowadays it has been a while)#like you got the rights to such a weird and surreal concept and ignored it entirely....what on earth#no baby crying loop in the middle of the wilderness alone....no stairs that cut off your arm cleaning in the woods...NOTHING#literally so tragic. @ nosleep authors and other online horror writers PLEASE watch out when giving out adaptation rights#if i remember correctly the poor search and rescue author got screwed over by syfy which is so sad 😔#also please publish some kind of paperback version of ur stories for lil ol me. pretty please#basic print on demand is fine id just love to have more creepypasta and nosleep stuff on my bookshelf LOL#also still sad theres no left right game book. blease it would be so good published BLEASE

Sometimes I think I must be a weird author because everyone keeps making "haha writing the middle part of the story is so hard haha the start and the ending are so easy baba" jokes but I never know how a story will end.
I start and then I write the middle, and then a logical conclusion happens.
#idk it's just so weird to me.#like how would i know how it ends when i don't know what these characters go through. i sometimes have like 10 vague ideas#for how it could potentially end but i never know and i never write the ending before the rest#maybe it's because when i write I'm usually sorting something out through it? so logically I can't know the ending because#I don't know the answer to my problems. im trying to find that. sometimes I don't find it#my first 'book' was written when i was just 8 so obviously it sucked and it was too simple but I'm using it as an example because#back then i struggled with abusive parents and peers who sexually harassed each other and the environment was full of bullying#to the point of some kids bashing another kid's head in#and the book reflected that. i felt confused and didn't understand. it was like my father was two different people#and all the adults encouraged that line of thinking. they kept saying that my father is a good person who loves me and that#only bad people do bad things. that family is always good. i liked my friends. i had good memories of times with them.#they were also cruel children who would relentlessly harass and bully anyone who was poorer than them or uglier or smarter or#who simply didn't agree with them. everyone seemed to want me to view people as either good or bad.#i was trying to think about it in the book. and you know I arrived at the conclusion that there are no such things at all#i realised that people are just people. that unfortunately the father who was nice to me was the same one who beat my mother and#yelled slurs at us. the people who were mean to me and others and who spread lies and convinced boys to beat people up for them#were also the people who were my friends. i found that everyone was capable of everything and that it's all just socialisation#the book ended in a way that reflected this.#this is the way i write most of my longer stuff. there is a question. there is a problem. i try to find an answer to it#sometimes there isn't an answer. sometimes there is. but the course of the story will reflect it either way
