well that sucked
#i mean there's still 3 more episodes to go but i hated like basically every plot point lol#i was expecting to get annoyed by the both sides-ism but i wasn't expecting s2 to. basically ignore the piltover/zaun ideological conflict#in favour of noxus and 13 random subplots and a bunch of characters i do not care about in the slightest#sad! oh well. all who get emotionally invested in league lore deserve the suffering of expecting league lore to be good#beepbeep.txt#arcane spoilers#in terms of the yaoi: i was expecting divorce and instead i got eldritch possession and christ imagery. which is bad.#it's not unique to their characters or the conflict between them. it just feels like they needed a reason to make them fight#and i miss the viktor that's a little deranged and physically cuts off limbs so he can replace them#and instead jayce is deranged for. ambiguous void reasons? being trapped in another dimension for decades? it's not interesting.

i can't tell if i'm just not paying attention or if mouthwashing just doesn't make any sense
#random thoughts#mouthwashing#watching a playthrough and am on the Big Twist so more stuff may happen or whatever#like jimmy raped anya. none of her behavior before this really like clued this in but whatever#doesn't really. add anything to the story so far. could really replace it with anything and the story would still be the same#seems like it's just there to give jimmy a reason to crash the ship#also don't like that he crashed the ship. curly crashing it made him more of a compelling character for me#like it's established he gives the same answers every time in the mental health check ups#make him like. succumb to the pressures of the job. instead of just being kind of a shitty normal boss#and like. anya doesn't want to give jimmy his check up and be alone with him while he makes up sexually deviant lies. could be foreshadowing#but she asks him to give curly his medicine. she doesn't seem to OBJECT to him becoming captain.#she was also a lot more compelling when it seemed like she was struggling due to the pressures of the job#i like swansea. reminds me of uncle billy from the outcasts of poker flat#his final where's johnny moment is kind of out of nowhere. is it because jimmy has the gun?#i doubt it's about the rape. did jimmy do something else? did swansea find out he crashed the ship?#i wish i didn't get to see curly's face before the crash. like give me some room to ponder dude#daisuke and swansea's dynamic is really fun! especially in the pre-crash scenes#my main problem with anya is she didn't have any single character to play off of. daisuke had swansea. curly had jimmy.#she's just kind of there. and miserable. and sucks at her job#also why is curly still alive??? like she killed herself in front of him but didn't take him out? tf anya#there's like 30 mins left so idk maybe some of my complaints will be rectificed. or maybe mouthwashing just isn't for me#literally my main complaint is the rape subplot so if they do something interesting with that then we're golden

i think its evil and pointless that they split wicked into two movies and the worst part about it is that the best songs are in act two so the first movie wont even have the bangers
#just remembered that im going to have to wait to hear no good deed; feeling inconsolable#i think its ridiculous that theyre splitting up the movies when its literally based on a 2 hour stage show#i just looked it up and the first movie is over 2 and a half hours????? what the fuck are they putting in there#thats longer than the entire stage show#so theyre adding a ton of random shit to stretch out the time or???#because there is not a single part of the show that i think is rushed tbh. it does exactly what it needs to do in the time that it uses#im still hopeful for it but the fact that they split it into two movies has made me bitter this entire time#so im not as happy about it as i wish i was#just the fact that theyre making it two movies just as a cash grab pisses me off#also even though ppl have been asking for a wicked movie for literal decades. i dont think itll be as good as a movie#its more suited to a stage show and it wont be as impactful when its on a screen#but maybe im wrong!#im excited to see it. maybe itll be good#maybe the extra 3 hours added to the show will be a doomed yuri gelphie subplot

The Principle of Moments
start of a scifi space opera series
a teen girl in the far future where humans are oppressed learns she has a destiny & a lost sister and escapes
and a young time traveler who’s given up trying to find his father through time, and is about to settle in 1812 with the prince he loves, but is unwillingly thrust into the future
they both learn their fates are entangled by a prophecy, and have to race across the galaxy, followed by a galactic emperor and the legacy of heroes from an ancient religion
#The Principle of Moments#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#this started off pretty good - interesting characters and worldbuilding; easy to read#but it felt like a bit too much was going on and I kinda checked out from the last third and didn’t care anymore.#It felt very much like the plot was just happening to the characters and they didn’t have much effect on it all.#It’s very classic space opera chosen one story! it’s fun and ambitious! a lot of doctor who vibes -#but also like if you tried to fit the entirety of timelord lore into one or two episodes haha.#It also had a couple classic space opera pitfalls.. like how this evil alien race was described as looking evil (in various ways). hm.#I actually really loved the writing style of the excerpt snippets in the beginning and would have been keen for most of it to be like that.#but also probably with the book being shorter.#there’s humor thrown in there that was sometimes funny but also sometimes awkward.#The time travelers speak very modern (despite none of it being set in the present) which like - obviously anachronism is gonna be inherent#to time travelers but sometimes it felt awkward. or like.. the other characters didn’t comment on it?#There were a couple moments that felt like a tv script gag that just came across badly on the page#gay prince romance was cute but kinda was thrown in the deep end then it’s barely relevant for most of the story.#The whole london subplot felt unneccesary. The random romance subplot the girl gets felt out of nowhere.#anyway it's decent! just fell apart a bit and didn't live up to my expectations

It feels like it was only yesterday I read about Oscar getting a mermaid girlfriend and now there's Ikasumi. I ship it, though! I'm curious what happened to the mermaid girl. Also, I think I'm experiencing what the rest of the guild is feeling when it comes to Oscar's lovelife, like since when was this a thing I want deets 😂
FUN FACT: HE STILL HAS THE MERMAID GF TOO!!!!!!!! this is what i mean when i say oscar has that playboy streak!!!!!!! hes like "Oh we have [problem]? I know someone who can help! ^^" AND ITS ONE OF HIS EX-GIRLFRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and FOR REAL this is oscars running joke. he always has things going on that for some reason he doesnt tell anyone about and doesnt bring up?? 1) his girlfriend changes often and 2) his other running joke is hes always doing part-time work at some different job every so often. mochi and coco go outfit shopping, trying to pick clothes, mochi like "What do you think of this color on me?" and oscar, somehow working at that clothes shop, out of nowhere is like "Nice it brings out your eyes!"
mochi & lime after some magic commission exhausted in a far off town, go to get dinner and sit down and the server (oscar) is like "Hey guys! I can get you a discount since I work here!" when theyre like "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE???" he replies "Oh me? My uncle lives nearby and im visiting him for the weekend so i decided to help out at their diner. Pretty cool, huh?"
they go to some festival happening in town, walking around stalls and theres oscar managing one of those hacked, rip-off game booths like "Hey Mochi! We have this fluffy cat stuffed animal that looks like your style! Maybe you can solicit Lime into winning it for you! (overworld challenge noise)" (which turns into an aggressive "I'm gonna win that fucking cat." vs "I own this damn game and you're gonna empty your pockets before I let you win it.")
anyway, oscar is a psuedo-cryptid in his own right.
#bpp#text#lore#oscar lore time#also a good excuse to like. get him to random places#this also plays into the girlfriend thing#(what are you doing in the outer reaches of the kingdom?!) (oh my girlfriend wanted to visit her friends so we took a trip!)#all his little jobs also means hes loaded#makes sense for the guy that bought a storefront home in the middle of downtown capitol city#his vibes are venti-like where they seem so sweet and nice but theres something obviously off about them#and anytime you question it youre hit with the old reliable (ehe)#actually a very real thing may be that we dont see oscars full love subplot play out in the story#may be just hints that it would go in a certain direction but it is left in the air#oscar hits me as the type thats not obsessed with romance the way the others essentially are#the only normal fucking person in the story#besides the arm

There’s no way Euphrasia isn’t going to be relevant again. Even the seemingly inconsequential magician Diorama because a hugely-important recurring villain. She’s too big of a Chekov’s breadcrumb to ignore after setting up.
#I've watched Ninjago multiple times#and every seemingly random detail has a purpose#Skylor getting Garm's powers?#leads to Harumi's death and Garmadon going nuts#the police subplot in 6?#they help Nya Cole and Lloyd escape the island. and eventually help Nya and Jay escape again later too#etc#she WILL return#this season? who knows#but she's definitely not out of the park yet#ninjago spoilers#ninjago dragons rising#dragons rising spoilers#ninjago euphrasia

jesus christttt im not surprised at all to hear that the knuckles series focuses on wade and other human characters a lot i saw this coming a mile away with how almost all the news we were getting before the trailer came out was about the human characters/actors and not about knuckles (or sonic or tails or any other animated characters) but the fact that somebody calculated how many minutes of screentime knuckles has and it came out as LESS THAN HALF OF THE ENTIRE SERIES' RUNTIME when the series is NAMED after him is ridiculous. after this show comes out wade will likely have more screentime and overall plot relevance in the entire scu than tails does. did they actually think wade is a popular enough character for people to be down with this. what the fuck
#was gonna pirate the series but at this rate i might not watch it at all LMAO or at the very least only watch the parts with team sonic#because my interest in this series is dropping every second and i already wasnt very interested in it.#and i love knuckles so you know theyre doing something wrong if knuckles getting his own series isnt interesting me#the thing about wade is i dont even hate the idea of human characters. i dont think its bad for human characters to be present#and i dont think its bad for them to be involved in the plot and have relationships with the existing sonic characters#i personally didnt mind the wedding subplot in the second movie and i know a lot of people hated it#but. it becomes a problem when the random humans are overshadowing the characters people are actually here to see#like the show is literally called knuckles and all the marketing focuses on knuckles but its mostly about wade. allegedly.#and . i wouldnt have minded knuckles having a human costar. but again. they should be getting equal or less focus not more.#and also. its fucking wade who cares about wade enough to want this. would have been more forgiving if it was maddie or jojo or something#because i actually care about those characters. and also theyre not cops#for a moment i was willing to believe that the complaints about wade having way more screentime than knuckles#were a little exaggerated since a lot of people just get mad when the human characters have any screentime at all#but then i saw the article showing that knuckles really did show up for less than half the show and i was like Ummm. What#sorry for being so negative lately#its just that every new piece of info we get about upcoming scu projects has me like that reaction image of the guy holding a cigarette#like WHAT ARE THEY DOINGGGGGGG

The Dark We Know
YA horror
an art student who returns to her repressive hometown after her abusive father dies
one of her old friends - the only one who hasn’t died - shows up asking for help to stop the evil presence that killed them before it takes anyone else, and she starts to be haunted by strange sounds and images she can’t remember drawing, she has to confront her past
bi MC (& major character), no romance
arc from netgalley, out august 13
#The Dark We Know#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#bisexual books#This was pretty good!#I thought it was a really good exploration of trauma and had some good characters.#I enjoyed the complication friendship dynamic and how that relationship developed.#And of course I always enjoy a book with no romance (there is past relationships here but no romance subplot)#I didn’t find myself super engaged with the main plot/mystery - some of the elements felt a bit random/ not meshed together enough for me?#It wasn’t quite as atmospheric enough as i wanted. I also wanted a bit more exploration of her relationship with her parents?

I literally forget Aidan exists for months at a time
#wolfposting#and I like him I think his character is pretty good but his subplot is so isolated from everyone else that he just doesn’t come up usually#unless you are thinking about baize’s backstory or the college for some reason he has nothing to do with anything until the last minute#<if we are being real also bc he doesnt have a romantic subplot <arguably the others dont either. he doesnt have a psychosexual subplot#we are NOT shipping him and crow there will be no white man yaoi today#shout out to him though for real I think he’s cute#+ it’s cool how literally some random guy ended up having sm impact on the world

There's no way this new upcoming event isn't gonna be Christmas related
#theres so much potential for one its been years since the last Christmas related ep#I've already accepted that Randy's gonna have some random ass subplot#I just hope it stays a sideplot and not the main story I think he's funnier that way#they need to give us more than these microscopic barely edible creek crumbs merch has been the only thing keeping me alive#south park#shitpost#rambling#sp creek#they need to put out the trailer soon or something because I miss doing my sp ramblings

What is an underutilized genre you'd like to inject some G/t into?
OOOOH
My main favorite genres are already fairly normal for G/t (Fantasy, romance, sci-fi, slice of life)
BUUUT
Psychological thriller???
MMMF- Yes.
I love twists and tension and will they/wont they scenes so much, adding in high stakes and a sense of unease?? I'm all for it!! Now inject some G/t into that??
I can already smell the angst and fearplay brewing.
I just love exploring reactions and thought processes, especially around fear/risk etc.. the more complex the more exciting it is for me.
Now....
Not a genre per say but;
Redneck G/t
I just love the salt of the earth/physical labor/back-woodsy/uncouth person gets thrust into a G/t scenario trope SO MUCH.
Also please more Cowboy/Western G/t.
#I wish I could figure out how to write thriller#I love reading it#My brain just spits out goofy romance with some random genre as a subplot#AskEnto
