#reddit would kill me

[crimeronan]

i should be allowed to kill people. i'd be really good at killing people and i'd definitely only kill the people who "should" be killed (that's a real category that you can partition human life into) and it Definitely wouldn't perpetuate any horrific cycles of violence or have any negative effects on anyone (except the people i'm killing). there also wouldn't be any ethical implications at all. i'll be so good i prommy. Give Me The Knife.

I think my greatest "you will never take this headcanon from me" aspect of The Long Wait and season 2 is the damn kyber necklace. Except the headcanon isn't even anything specific beyond that Luthen wasn't lying about it being personally meaningful.

Like what do you mean he gave him this and called it sky stone and then stood and watched Ferrix chant stone and sky 8 episodes later what do you mean "stone and sky" carried through season 2 as the Ferrix connection what do you mean Luthen and Kleya adopted a tiny piece of Ferrix in the safehouse recognition knock in turn.

"You're the thing itself" "I came for you" "I want it back" it was Cassian all along he wanted Cassian back and Cassian came back and he came through "you appeared when I needed you" "it would be you, wouldn't it?" help I am unwell.

anyways I find it so funny how DC let its fans kill Jason because some people have had to reckon with having the red ink of a fictional child on their hands since they were 10

I finally watched the return and uh… well unfortunately it was worse than I was expecting

Posting on a subreddit after lurking for a long time and then waiting for a response feels like lining up blindfolded waiting for the execution shot. Except there’s also a 50/50 chance instead of a bullet you’ll get a confetti popper

can't sleep (despite new meds + melatonin, boo), so I'm thinking about random shit. like: it's insane to me that I'm totally fine living on the ground floor now. it used to really freak me out. I hated being downstairs when we lived in a house. I always felt watched when I had my room on the ground floor. and every time I visited my dad at his ground floor apartment - where I was on my own except for maybe an hour a day - I had what I now know were panic attacks several times a day. so like, that's pretty crazy.

half the people in the subreddit for eldenringloretalk make me want to throw up

[guavagyal]

now I remember why r/LateStageCapitalism banned me. it was because I was calling out white leftists who dream of a revolution (having marginalized people be cannon fodder for the far-right & state) and think being sanctimonious, self-righteous, morally superior assholes will make people be leftist lol

[kurokoros]

first of all, the duffers absolutely didn't have the full series planned out from the start because Stranger Things was originally pitched as a limited series with 1) the potential for a direct "sequel" that would follow the younger kids as adults (basically, they pitched "It") or 2) an outright sci-fi horror anthology. second of all, even if the duffers did have everything mapped out from the start that doesn't mean that plan isn't garbage.

Finally had my first Stex dream and it was SO stupid.  I was at a theme park and found this TV clip on youtube that I was watching on my phone waiting for something.  It was this bit with Andreas Wolfram and Mykal Rand together as the same character answering stupid questions (that I can’t remember) and getting into a stupid stage fight on skates that was really funny and generally trying to one up and beef with each other.  I really want to say they were both Electra but I also swear it was a character Mykal HASN’T played like Greaseball or something because I remember being surprised by how terrible he looked in the costume.  Honestly it might have been some composite my mind made up.  I think he also tried to sing Pumping Iron or Rolling Stock as sounded really funny and terrible because his voice was so high and whiny.  

I posted the link on tumblr under some wall of text about some OCs nobody cares about because it reminded me of their dynamic and Stex tumblr kept reblogging it with passive aggressive notes about “ignore OP’s wall of text. look at the Electraception!  New rarepair!” and I was so disappointed they were so dismissive of me and wished I’d just posted the link with a stupid shorter caption.  

And then while I was at the park (outside my phone) my purse ended up in a puddle on a train/small coaster ride and somehow got COMPLETELY full of gross floor water and I woke up after getting disgusted that my chapstick was soaked with that and wanting to escape that reality.

should start a discord server in which we have literary analysis about arknights blorbos and also won't be shamed for looking at a story through a queer lens that would be cool

Finished The Decagon House Murders!

It was...okay. Like the mystery was all right (pretty sure it was an Agatha Christie ripoff tho), but I didn't really feel any connection with the characters. Van, Carr, and Leroux kept getting confused in my mind because we learn a couple small facts about them but other than that, they don't really behave distinctly (except Van at the end I guess). Poe was a doctor. Agatha and Orczy were total pretty girl/ugly girl stereotypes. Ellery was obnoxious. Literally NONE of them mentioned the girl they supposedly murdered* until near the end, except Orczy who dies first. It seems like "hey, that girl who died had the same last name as the people who owned this house, maybe this is some weird revenge since people think we were responsible" should have occurred to them earlier.

(*apparently she died after drinking too much even though she had a heart condition. which like, it seems a bit much for multiple characters to blame the people at the party with her because they egged her on. they're all dumb college kids but also they probably didn't know about her condition and if she didn't speak up for herself how can they be held accountable? anyway.)

The mainland scenes with Kawaminami were all right, and provided backstory and context, but I think some of that heavy lifting should've been done by the island crew. They basically do nothing except drink coffee and die, minus a couple walks to the ruins.

TLDR: decent mystery, but don't go into it expecting fully fleshed out characters or a particularly sensible plot. It did make me want to read And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie though. The only Christie I've experienced so far is seeing The Mousetrap last fall, but I found that much more engaging than this book.

Now, onto Sorcery of Thorns! Started that one in 2021 when I last rented it, but had to send it back half finished because I rented too many books at once and stressed out too much (alas, history repeats itself). Hoping to finish it this time, though!
