it is a little bit wild that by virtue of ats s5 being the last canon tv installment of the buffyverse, spike and angel's arcs culminate in... each other. like spike isn't allowed to rest after his sacrifice because the network needs to pull more viewers his new hero status has to be put to the test against angel. angel can't comfortably rest on his laurels as the vampire with the soul because spike is there. their arcs with buffy shape them into the people they eventually become, but canon deliberately leaves the future of those relationships ambiguous! ats is where they go to figure out how to lead lives without buffy but with the other vampire-with-a-soul in them. and i don't even mean this in the way where spike/angel is somehow more meaningful or romantically endgame than their other relationships, i just mean like... those two old dudes are never gonna escape each other, for better or for worse. like there's literally a whole prophecy to that effect. wild stuff.
#funny how media gets more complex and richer when you give the main character's love interests a life of their own. :I#anyways thinking about this because any hypothetical video(s) focused on their individual characters that takes ats s5 as an endpoint#means contending with how a big part of their growth involves getting over their neuroses about the other#and coming together for a common cause/to do the right thing#also i think i REALLY like that buffyverse rejects stable romantic coupling as a satisfying ending#and that such relationships only exist when they're a narratively relevant contrast to the INstability of someone's (usually buffy's) life#ats#buffyposting#spangel#sure why not#actually speaking of which i support stable and happy spike/angel specifically in the context when buffy is having a very bad day#i think that finding out about spangel should make her day much worse before making it much better

i feel like this comeback is a good time to remind people that a lot of common AAVE words and phrases have been “rebranded” as “gen z slang.”
i think it’s important that we recognize the origins of these words and are aware of the context instead of attributing it to a new form of internet culture. it’s not “cringe internet slang from 2016.” it’s actual vocabulary derived from black communities.
of course, at times there are overlaps with other dialects that share the same words and phrases as AAVE, but the point is, if you are using these phrases that are not part of your usual vocabulary please take time to educate yourself about the history of these words and why black people have been asking non black people to refrain from using them. take a moment to think about your interactions with these words as well, even if they aren’t part of your vocabulary.
i have found this AAVE carrd extremely helpful and informative. it is a personally made glossary by a black person based off of their and other black peoples experiences. it also includes a guide of more credible sources about the history of AAVE and the dialects terms.
#idk how to tag this#i hope this is coherent#i just thought it would be a nice reminder#or informative to people who may be unaware of how their comments about the title of this cb are coming across#there are a few times since becoming a stay that i have felt uncomfortable with the use of black culture + aave in this media#and i’ve come to the conclusion that all i can do is speak on these topics informatively#so that we can learn and better ourselves in the face of enjoying things from other cultures#i cannot take these sources to jyp so i shall leave it here for us fans to reflect on#thanks for reading if u did#skz ate

rewatching rwby with a friend and dawntrail is just S4 of rwby LMAO they both:
-are the start of a new arc -have major graphics updates -have a tropical island setting -have a cat girl princess -have the main cast split in an unmeaningful way -forget about the MC / just make a new one -introduce a pointless villain
My friend was like omg no wonder u didn't like DT is was just subconscious rwby S4 flashbacks. LOL I EVEN COMPARED THE SHITTY WRITING TO RWBY UNPROMPTED in my review so I wasn't off. Just thought it was funny how many similarities there were.
#and b4 anyone ats me i love both of these pieces of media okay? so much that I rewatch one once a year and haven't stopped playing the other#even thought DT is one massive disappointment after the other! the only good thing about the 7.1 patch is the qol updates and the emotes#have you seen how bad the curly hair looks????? how did they fuck up that badly

What's your thoughts on vegan zombies?
huh??? like actual zombies that are vegan?? or the zombies from the zombies movies being vegan???
i'll answer both i guess
i think that since actual zombies need to feed on flesh/brains to stay alive/moving then a vegan zombie would like...die or fall apart (or whatever happens to zombies when they don't feed for a while)
in terms of the zombies from the disney franchise, since they're genetically modified zombies and don't need to feed on brains to stay alive (they canonically still have/had a taste for them tho), them being vegans could be possible. i also feel like out of the three main zombies, eliza would probably be the vegan (i mean she canonically is in the re-animated series so-).
#sorry like i said didn't know which type of zombies you meant#i just had a thought#the zombies ate a lot of cauliflower in place of brains so they probably had vegetarian diets before being able to rejoin seabrook#love that i keep saying “actual zombies” when zombies like don't exist#and i don't want them to i hate zombies and zombie media#other than the disney franchise obviously#zombies#zombies 3#zombies 2#disney zombies#eliza zambi#venux answers asks#zombies: the re animated series

#OUghh... I've been really sick the past few days like not able to keep food down and had to go to the hospital#to get iv fluids and etc. to stay hydrated lol...#perhaps some sort of stomach virus or something. but still very grrrr for it to happen in the middle of the evil summer of#course#when everything is hot and uncomfortable anyway.. I really wanted to get a sims video and costume pictures finished this week and keep#up writing like 1000 ish words a day for my game. but.. alas... the universe was like... I Think Not#I at least have been able to have some tea and juice and applesauce and like 4 saltine crackers today so#I always think it's funny when you're ill what sort of little things count as successes#like on any normal day eating a few crackers would just be something you don't even give a second thought#to . But when you're really sick it's like .. WOW.. I ate TWO crackers.. amazing.. huzzah... I should get an award certainly#call the press and alert them. I should be in the newspaper headlines for this harrowing feat. etc. lol#I still feel very shaky and weak though.. but am like... hhhhh... when can I work on my projects again...#Also I literaly never leave the house or have contact with anyone so maybe it's not a virus and was more food poisioning or something#since I'm not sure where I'd get a virus even but... regardless... stinky#just complaining since I suppose that is what personal blogs are for lol. I'm a private person in the sense of wanting to proect my identi#ty and like.. I dont want an alexa in my house listening to me all the time and I dont tag my real location on social media or share photos#that could reveal the front of my house or etc. etc. But in all other senses I really don't beleive in holding stuff in. Because it will#just fester. especially when it has to do with other people (like relationship issues or something) but even when its just stuff that only#has to do with you. If something annoys me then I shall let it be openly known. if I'm bothered it will be clear. etc.#Which I guess makes me seem like a Hater And Complainer but I guess I just feel like its better over all to explain and express openly#than to just silently stew and hold everything in and then probably feel worse for it later or something.#Expressing annoyance is kind of like casting the concept off from yourself and releasing it into the wild so that you're not harboring it#anymore. all grievances must be aired eventually. etc. this is a Pro complaining zone lol#If you feel like shit dont hide it. just go 'man I feel like shit'. etc. etc. Cast it off into the universe. be free#ANYWAY... aughhh......... the wizard has fallen ill in his stinky little tower.. pacing the stone floors in tattered robes. hair disheveled#. carefully sipping a single cup of tea over the course of an hour lest drinking too fast upset his fragile stomachs againe..

Miles being asked about TLSP in interviews: overdone. Kind of sad & frustrating. Unoriginal. Often bordering on disrespectful.
Alex being asked about TLSP in interviews: innovative. Barely done. Has great potential.
I DARE these interviewers to flip their approach. Come on cowards, go ask Alex about Miles this time.
[tags go into ~nuances~]
#listen - it all depends on the context#all these artists deserve for the interviews to first and foremost focus on the work theyvare currently releasing and promoting#and then when it gets to the 'questions for funsies' segment - go off. Ask em about other things. Like their other projects#BUT#Keep a good balance#and dont go only quoting that 1question all over your social media for the following week when the interviewed person came in for smth else#also#- this applies more generally to interviews too-#if they've recently alrewdy been asked that question in another interview.... just don't ask it again?#oh boy do I hate when these interviews are all just basically the same thing asked over and over#sure - there's basics that ate bound to repeat. but do you research and think of something original!#/#another thing#I find it slightly more acceptable to potentially 'pester' Alex with TLSP/ Miles questions#because of the power/ audience / recognizability dynamics#and if you don't understand that.... well I don't feel like explaining. Seems pretty obvious to me#would also be mad if someone obviously only focused on tlsp questions for Alex when The Car first csme out - and ignored that release#but generally there's just more space there - I believe - to discuss tlsp for a little longer#Alex never been reduced to ONLY that one project like Miles is often being#// also yes: disclaimer. I dont really hide the fact that I do love when I get to hear Miles mention Al.#but just...#balance. We need balance#it needs to be done in moderetion okay?#and there's a time and space for it too.#it was fine for 1 quick question in an interview after a long-ish hiatus. And with TAOTU turning 15. now hopefully other's let it go#PHEW#I have sooo much to say about this#but that's enough tags for now#//#my posts

it's not a guilty pleasure but i LOVE this specific brand of books with these features:
take place in the winter, in a remote, isolated area; key themes are confinement and isolation
a sense of Otherness that the main character feels, whether from the wilderness or the people
an eerie uncanny feeling that permeates through the story—something's not right....but what could it be.....the townspeople aren't telling me anything....
slowly building dread and paranoia
#my search history is like: 'books about being stranded in the winter' hgjshfhf#i just loveeee when a character makes a journey to an incredibly isolated area in the deep dark winter and#something's just not right......#bonus points if it's a town and the people are acting just a tiny bit strange......#yesterday i read a book called the girl who died and i ATE IT UP it delivered on all fronts ✔️✔️✔️ the vibes were immaculate#i need more books like this#other media that come to mind are: the white vault podcast#oh and also the shining. of course#if anyone has recommendations please share i need to read more books like this!!#OH i remember two years ago i read a gothic short story that was written in the 1800s about stranded explorers it was SO GOOD#i can't remember the name though#oh this is also why i love coraline. dreary house in the middle of nowhere. strange neighbors. something's off......

me: oh yeah I've fell down some pretty horrible rabbit holes and basically had to deconstruct basically some weird fringe gore death cult shit I went through somehow as a 6 year old online <3
you guys: BITCH WTF DO YOU MEAN
me: anyway, it was "cannibalism and death as a commodity" is bad and that "life is one of value" and all that <3
you guys: THE ACTUAL NO NO WHAT?
me: yeah. I also engaged in some pretty bad self destructive behaviours bc autocannibalism but yeah, no bad stuff. still have really bad thoughts and feelings and I am 2 seconds away from biting a chunk of my skin off when the urges get bad but nah I'm way better now.
you guys: 0_o
me: long story short I have gotten rid of the worst shit, but the whole drooling about eating people thing never went away ! I see bloody injuries and want to eat it ! like a freak!!!!!
#-pop#tbh age 6-14 it was literally this#I literally had the sudden and terrifying realisation that cannibalism was infact bad at age 14 going on 15#(me age 11: man I can't wait to kill and eat people when I'm older yay!)#yeah no it was like “as soon as I get stronger I can do what I need to do! yay eating people!!!”#I want you to realise how utterly horrifying it was to realise that it was infact BAD to kill and eat people.#that all the way up until that point you thought it was a-okay and people killed and ate each other and that was a normal part of life.#and all the media and stuff were just making a be fuss over nothing! I thought. it was legal and fine to kill and eat people for years#I held that belief until I was 14. FOURTEENNNNN#+ blood was instantly more appealing to kid us bc we were starved and meat was a safe food#like ughghhghghg#us-the-voices rants#reasons I could not be vegan: 1 I would just literally tear into my own flesh#2 I am anaemic of some kind and probably have a blood disorder#why am I like this. ughghghghhgghghgh

i am SO fucking exhausted by mainstream media opinions lately and i don't understand why they're frequently SO different from my own? like i genuinely don't think i am approaching anything from that unique of a perspective as a viewer? maybe it's just that i'm too easy to please when it comes to stories or something but like. how is the mainstream, widely accepted consensus on yellowjackets season 2 is that it's "bad" and "doesn't work as a season" and is "riddled with problems." literally what the fuck are you talking about. this is the most fun i have had watching television uhhhhh literally Ever? you're telling me people hated Burial? how? why? like i don't...i just don't GET it. and i'm not playing dumb for kicks here im like genuinely honest to god confused. that was the single best episode of television I've ever watched in my life. like i get that people have different opinions about things and that's fine but HOW am i in the minority here what am i missing
#most of the critiques I've seen are that it 'focused on the adults too much' and was 'too weird' re: mistys sequence#like??? that was clearly supposed to be funny and campy and silly and artistic and a twin peaks homage?#and the 'focusing on the adults' i... i mean i guess some people are just here for the '96 mystery#and are completely uninterested in the psychological effects it had on all the characters?#i guess some people don't?? care??? about watching them wrestle with that trauma and go on to try to have lives#after something like that?#but like. that's the entire point of the show though. if you hate that why are you watching it every week#with enough investment to like. blog about it and put energy into writing whole ass thinkpieces#so much of media criticism these days boil down into 'i wish this show was Not the show that it is'#'i wish it was this other show that im writing with my twitter mutuals'#and like that's fine and fun and cool and valid and that's what fic is for! but a show isnt BAD for committing to itself and its own vision#like. there is something sooo sexy abt a piece of media that is so wholly itself that you have to meet it where it is#and judge it by its own metric#it creates a whole new unique lens for each and every thing you love! quit comparing apples and oranges!#it's SO fucking fun analyzing different pieces of media through the lens of their own little world and conventions#and guiding principles and plot pacing and what they choose to emphasize and their genre conventions and etc etc#it's FUN! and not to sound like a pretentious film bro dipshit but like why does it seem like this is a dying art these days#'s2 is boring' THEY. THEY ATE A PERSON. ARE WE WATCHING THE SAME THING
