things that seemed reoccurring this update:
- Meat
- peas
- jelly
- Hibernation
- Eddie's absence
- Acting out a script (Sally mumbling asking if it's her cue and Howdy changing the script of the narrator in Homewarming storybook, characters general interactions with the narrator, different moments in the video, like the Sally and Frank ad break or the song a barely silent night, where the two literally fight over who get to sing, Sally mentions she wrote the lyrics, and Frank says she already has a song. yeah all of these are easy to see as meta goofs in the original material, but it's the fact there's so much of it this update) (of course all this wrap up with the end of the video where Eddie and Frank are obviously acting off script)
- Being alone (Eddie not having any news of anyone and not even seeing anyone outside (which is interesting as the story says that Sally was up in a tree near his home and saw him fret over having nothing to do), Wally saying it's so quiet during Homewarming and it's just he and Home for a while (potentially the show putting out a christmas special and then being on break? can a show do that?), and in the normal website material, the end of "An ode to hibernation", Frank saying "Where all that's left is me", the "me" being a "...me?")
- Welcome Home being used to sell stuff (cigarettes, medicine, eggnog, cereals, and the cookbook lists ingredients that are a specific brand)
(I'm putting under read more my rambling thoughts so you can just reblog the list without having to see them)
so I can't really make sense yet of all the food stuff. Maybe there are cultural elements/expressions I don't know that explains it? But I still find it very interesting how fucking unhinged that cookbook is yet the commercial and the website treat it normally. The cookbook is overall extremely interesting, because some of the recipes seem to actually be written by the characters; Barnaby who only presents you weird hot dog dressings with pictures but no recipe (and all jokes), Frank who lists not just the ingredients but also the material, and overexplain each steps (at least overexplain compared to the other recipes. it's actually interesting to know why you do x or y), and Julie who turns her recipe into a game at the end, and felt a bit harder to follow? anyway.
The cookbook, the Homewarming tradition of hanging a ham in the tree, Santy Claus being said sometimes instead of Santa, the ham for Santa? Once again, the christmas commercials being so casual about some of the weird stuff it says and presents? This almost feels like an alien who only has a blurry grasp of Christmas and what humans enjoy made the cookbook and the live commercial.
Sometimes, Welcome Home feels like it never actually aired and produced things, but we're making it retroactively exist. Something is making it exist. Like a retcon of the universe, "What do you mean you never heard of Welcome Home? No, of course it always existed and was very popular, look at all this old material we find!"
So maybe whatever is making it exist doesn't fully get humans and accidentally creates things that are weird to prove its existence. Like a cookbook that tells you a single pea in a buttered plate is a classic meal, or that of course you give Santa ham on Homewarming! (tbh almost getting an AI weirdness feel)
But in total contrary, in its story, Welcome Home also feels like it always existed, but got somehow completely wiped from people's mind, as something caused its sudden stop, and its characters gained consciousness of what they are and their world. As an existential dread fell on them one after the other, slowly realizing something isn't right. As Eddie felt anxiety and nervousness over no one being there or contacting him, to then having the story acts lightheartedly about it, the narrator saying things have been solved but he doesn't feel it, and suddenly Home is staring at him.
Both "It never existed but the universe is being retcon into it existing" and "it existed but something terrible happened that erased it from peoples mind" seem plausible. If two theories contradict each other, that means there's a third one that needs to be found.
Maybe it existed. Maybe it truly was popular, but something corrupted it, leading to its disappearance. A disappearance so big it stopped to exist. And now the thing that corrupted it is trying to crawl back, make it exist again, but it's making it come back completely off.
Anyway.
Also, I think the show may have been on hold during the Holiday season, "hibernating", and the character who got some self awareness realized that something was off. They're alone because there's nothing new, so no one is there bringing life to the neighborhood.
#welcome home#anyway there is an existential nightmare going on that's for sure#also at one point writing my rambling I thought about metaphor for capitalism#the show gains succes and so there's a push to make money out of it. capitalism is corrupting it until it goes in shambles.#now a few decades later banking on nostalgia to make profit is what big things do#bringing back the thing from your childhood to show it again but it's off because what brought it back is not love for the thing#it's being brought back because of capitalism. the thing that corrupted it in the first place is trying to bring it back.#sorry i still ramble in the tags :x

After his seclusion ended, Lan Wangji took A-Yuan to Lotus Pier. Of course he doesn’t like Jiang Wanyin, but for this, for *him*, he makes an exception. When Jiang Cheng is summoned out to deal with the Pier’s sudden guest, toting a now three years old Jin Ling in one arm and a strong tea in the other, he sees the face of a boy he’d assumed dead, a boy his brother once called son. “You have three days. I don’t want to see you so stay out of my business.” Is all he says before setting Jin Ling down and prompting him towards A-Yuan. Lan Wangji nods at him, crouching down to (his nephew?) A-Ling. “I was a friend of your uncle’s. This is my son, Lan Yuan.” The toddler looks up at his uncle who nods. “Be a good host, show them around.” Before promptly leaving. The toddler sticks out his hand to the other timidly. “I’m Jin Ling.”
#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#lan wangji#jiang cheng#lan sizhui#jin ling#childhood friends jin Ling and lan Sizhui is what I’m saying#LWJ and JC desperately trying not to start shit with each other so thier boys can actually have friends#a-yuan and a-ling actually raised as cousins#do you see my vision#LWJ will do literally anything but talk about WWX with his son#let me insist on showing you this place for seemingly no reason!!#go play with your friend#I need to go sadly look over some lotuses#meloncholically eat lotus seeds#the kids find a bit of WWX graffiti that survived the occupation#and none of the adults will talk about it#so they make up all kinds of stories about the mysterious cultivator that left if#and how it’s cursed and that’s why no one has gotten rid of it#they’re so dear to me

once you realize that life really isn’t that serious, it gets so much better. like im serious. im well aware there are a million posts and sayings just like this, but it’s true. I used to be so crippled by the worry of what other people thought of me (granted i still struggle at times) but once you realize that nothing matters. it’s so freeing. like yeah. maybe that person thinks you dress weird. or that you have a funny hairstyle. or a million other things. who cares??? you’re never gonna see them again! you get one life! live it! be weird! be yourself! be authentic! who cares?? once i started looking at life as this one experience, i wanted it to be a great one. no more caring what other people think. doing things because i want to and because i like them. someone thinks my plushies are childish? who cares? they make me happy. they’re mine. i love them. why should someone else dictate what i do with my life. it’s mine for a reason. i don’t tell you what to do with yours, don’t tell me what to do with mine. once you start living like you’re stuck in a studio ghibli movie, life gets 100% more bearable, enjoyable even. i used to be stuck in such a self-deprecating, depressing, anxious cycle. now? yeah i still have those moments, but they’re smaller and more manageable. because i know. life is full of so many beautiful things. and if i need to indulge in my inner child to get through the day, then i will. i implore you. do the same.
#listen to the same song on repeat#notice how green the leaves look today#pretend you’re a traveler on your way to a new place#even if you’re just driving to get food#buy that plushie#get a tattoo of your childhood toy so that you carry it with you#reread your favorite kids books#make bad art#bake a horrible cake#try#fail#watch the same show for the millionth time#just do what you enjoy#if you need to make your life easier do it#it’s your life#don’t waste it

Can't draw bunny Gales to make myself feel better yet because I'm determined to post the first chapter of my 5+1 today 😤😤😤
Can someone please hold my anxiety for a few minutes??? I feel like I've had one of these things doing laps in my chest all day and I need a break 😭
#seagull squawking#anyone else have these things banned from their school#surely the “zhu zhu pet ripping out a classmate's hair when placed atop their head” incident was not unique to my childhood#showing my age or my youth with that one depending on your perspective lmao

It's been rolling around in my brain the last few days for some reason, but I still hate the family backstory reveals for Sophie and Eliot. I've seen some of the meta for it, but quite frankly, it still makes no sense. If it had been something actually thought of and intentional in the original, I think it could have been so fascinating. I mean, Sophie's willing abandonment of Astrid to contrast with Nate's loss of Sam or Eliot's adoption in contrast with Hardison's and Parker's? Could have been excellent! But they came out of nowhere in Redemption and don't work with these characters.
Sophie was still actively using the fucking alias that she met Astrid under! She met with someone from her past on the show! Like. Quite frankly, that one is unequivocally bullshit that they made up and threw in and pretended could fit with the established canon. (And I'm sorry, but the idea of Sophie abandoning Astrid and never telling Nate about her just... So much of Nate's trauma was rooted in the loss of Sam, and I think that introducing this element after he's gone and unable to respond to it taints Sophie and Nate's relationship in a way bc I'm not exactly sure how Nate would've responded to learning about this but I think that it's something he'd have needed to know. I don't know how to fully express my thoughts on that but yeah.)
As for Eliot, I don't like the adoption aspect literally at all. The way that he would interact with his family and the memory of his family would be different, and I think that it's flat out ridiculous to think that he'd have never mentioned it to the team in the original show, especially when dealing with the kid cases. (I also dislike the biracial adoption as its own element because if Eliot was actually raised by Black parents in the... idk what 80s/90s? That just. doesn't feel congruent with how they write Eliot interacting with PoC, not necessarily in a bad way, but babe, he's written like a white southern man raised in a specific kind of culture that does not jell with that. It also makes Eliot look... really bad that he was apparently raised with the knowledge of how fucked up the military was and his parents' history and made the choices that he did.) Like the show may not have explicitly stated it but the implication of that relationship was vastly fucking different throughout the original show.
Just. These were not backstories that were congruent with their depiction and characters in the original show, and they're also just moves that I don't particularly like or find interesting directions for those characters. There's also something to be said about how it was apparently unacceptable for a woman to not have kids or someone not reconciling with their biological family when that was something that the original show handled a lot better. Out of all the directions to take Sophie and Eliot's stories, that's just not really one that I think was a good idea.
#i'm not sure if i worded this v well tbh which concerns me#bc like. like i said i dont like the adoption plot anyways but part of my problem with that storyline IS that billy is black#bc i don't think that the way eliot is written makes sense if he was raised by a black couple during that decade#bc the way that he would have engaged with his family and community and the world around him would've been different#especially bc he was raised in the fucking south in the 80s#bc i dont think eliot was ever racist in the original show but i dont think that he really knew#how it was different for poc in certain ways that dont make sense if he was raised by a black couple#like the previous implications of his childhood and specifically his father were v much in the stereotypical v pro military be a man cultur#that culture is also v rooted in toxic masculinity and whiteness#God i hope that makes sense bc i feel like that sounds v bad#but i'd love more black characters on the show and i think that for pretty much any other mc that'd have been fine#it's specifically eliot with the space that he occupies that i feel like it's a problem with his backstory#which also is why i dont like that he's adopted at all bc that's an influential part in how you first view your place and family and all th#that i dont think makes sense with eliot's character. like literally nothing about that reveal really feels like it makes sense with eliot#and to move over to sophie for a second i feel like bringing up the abandoned stepdaughter would have been pretty damn important#when sophie was struggling with the idea of who she really was beneath the aliases and the grift#and especially when she's in a relationship with nate who WAS a father like#and that she used the charlotte alias to meet with someone from her past but there wasnt anything about the fallout#which still makes no fricking sense either way#also insert something about sophie being an older woman without kids#(i know there's the ot3 but they're not actually in a position as her kids bc theyre still equals in a sense)#and needing to actually go no no she was a mom! and then bailed and did all this and blah blah but she's always been a mom in her heart <3#and adding in this relationship as if an older woman cant be satisfied or complete without kids#and i know that ppl might bring up parker but like lbr parker is positioned in a v different space narratively than sophie#ofc parker doesn't have kids she's positioned in a space as the Odd one the kinda broken one#her defying the expectations narratively doesnt necessarily work the same bc of her place#idk i kinda hope these dont end up in the main tags bc idk how ppl will respond nor how well i actually got across my points#but i do wanna tag them for my blog so#leverage#sophie devereaux

im at the point in my rgg hyperfixation where shit i say about kiryu is like. nigh unintelligible unless you can piece together my scattered riddles and/or have access to the inside of my brain
#even i cant explain whats going on in there#im writing fic about him and yumi at sunflower and about his unnamed father it's that bad i fear#forget rgg8 im on that rgg prologue shit#what the fuck do you mean your father died when you were four years old kiryu what do you MEAN you cant drop that on me#if kazama killed your parents (plural) what in gods name was he doing for years in between#yes i WILL be going insane thinking about kiryu's early childhood that he most definitely remembers and trying to understand why#he for some reason wouldnt know that kazama killed his father and what kind of fucking. brainwashing took place for that to happen#how was the news broken to him how was this explained to him at four years old#did kazama show up to Rescue him. was he made to think it was all one big coincidence#i think kiryu is sort of uniquely in a place in gaiden/8 where hes more willing to accept that his life is built on a shaky foundation#and upholding those lies aren't a priority anymore he's just nowhere near as fragile and can accept that kazama is Not the man he thought#like. at all.#k2 was too early for him and he wishes he never found out at all but he's been sitting on this for almost 20 years now#i need kiryu to remember his dad as a man who did the absolute most just as he's done his whole life for his kids#like. that's where he gets it from. not kazama. his worst qualities are from fucking kazama.#ada speaks#we do a little rambling as a treat

it is absolutely wild to me that the untimely passing of a pedophile and abuser causes more discourse in tumblr than an actual fucking genocide.
#yes i am talking about liam payne's death#is it regrettable? sure.#does it require ppl to post entire essays? mmmm. maybe not#look i'm not saying that people aren't allowed to grieve one ofntheir childhood idols#but like.#look at what they are grieving#and what they are not#the silence is LOUD#you don't believe me? bbygirl i got receipts#go to the palestine tag and look for lates and top posts#see how far down you have to scroll in latest to see any discussion after the donation posts (which are all under 10 notes btw)#now go to top and see the dates and the contents of the posts. notice anything?#see how it is BLATANTLY missing anything about the latest hospital bombing and that infamous video?#or the news about Israel invading a goddamn UNRWA BASE??#in layman's terms it invaded the united nations#now go to the liam payne tag (which rn is trending) and do the same#i rest my case.#you could argue that posts could be in a different tag like gaza. and you'd be wrong. it's the same result.#tumblr is probably the last social media on the internet where you can still somewhat control what shows up in your feed.#it's the only place where you can say 'forbidden' words with your whole chest and the website won't knock it down#as far as i'm concerned this website has more freedom of speech than insta tiktok and twitter combined.#and we're using it to... *checks notes* discuss the morality of a celebrity's death

#this is something i usually wouldnt do because i really struggle talking about shit like this because of things that have happened to me in#the past but anyways#i really need white people to understand that a lot of stuff you enjoy and are able to love has bothered poc for years. muslims.#specifically im thinking of eurovision just because i keep seeing stuff like oh i love eurovision but we have to boycott its the right thing#to do!! and while i appreciate people Finally coming to that fucking conclusion. ever since i forst ever watched it the fact that israel#competed and consistently performed so well with votes etc always bothered me so much. but it was popular. everyone watches it#so you sit and try to bear and endure#idk what im trying to say by this#i guess i just want people to be more conscious and look around them#is there a reason certain spaces are mostly filled with white people? is this a place where poc could even be welcomed or feel safe. most of#the time the answer is no. i think especially with the Slow rise of south asian actors in western media and seeing the way people are#constantly bullied. and even just watching some of my childhood shows/movies and seeing the amount of racist jokes. like i always thought i#knew how bad it was. but being reminded. idk. racism just fucking sucks and i wish white people were able to care about it more without#complaining about their comfort. maybe theres a reason youre uncomfortable#i will probably delete this but for now and for whoever sees this ✌️#le text post

Perpetually tired of all the " oh aangs a hypocrite, he said he's never taken a life but he definitely killed those random background characters, there no way they could survive, blah blah blah"
No he did not
And no, regular people could not survive those things but here's the funny part
its a kids show
people were constantly getting thrown around and hit with tons of rock
in The Swamp they all very violently crashed into the ground, a thing that would normally kill someone
But because they have this thing called "not being real" they didn't die
which is the case for most of these random fire nation soldiers and characters
They didn't die
Because the story said they didn't die
Because, once again, this is a kids show
#seriously it's just rewrapped Dark Kids Show Theories that will Ruin Your Childhood! stuff#like i need the adults to stop going into kids series...#declaring them 'too good' to be a kids series then injecting darker realistic shit and claiming the characters are liars and hypocrites#because of some bullshit that THEY MADE UP IN THE FIRST PLACE#it is a kids show#you can make all the headcanons and theories you want but fucking stop insisting theyre Real and True
