genuinely i think wolf 359 is a podcast that benefits from relistening to it. It has for me at least. These characters are all at odds with each other constantly but they all have their own compelling motivations, and i think its hard to be able to parse all that out on a first listen because you naturally gravitate toward one guy or a couple guys and then sort of have a natural defense against the characters antagonizing them in the series.

But because wolf 359 has so much going on behind these characters and their thought processes and their actions i think every character is incredibly compelling and being able to relisten to it with a new perspective and purposefully sitting back and taking in the other characters and how they fight against each other and what theyre doing and how theyre all getting in each other’s ways all the Time is so interesting.

I love how much conflict is in this podcast it’s sooo interesting. We put all these guys in space just to see the social implications of it all tbh.

That one "mystery skulls animated EXPLAINED" video makes me want to chew walls. You see react channels watching it as though its a lore bible and half the shit in it is just stuff that guys headcanon or is just flat out wrong.

I blame that one wiki thats just full of made up stuff. It seems he used that as a source. I once tried to help clean it up but got into an editing war with someone who INSISTED that Arthurs RIGHT arm was the one he lost. So I gave up on helping that wiki, its a complete lost cause. (and the guy in the video kept saying right arm....so yeah. Shits still a mess. Who knows maybe he runs the wiki).

And that video pushes the "Arthurs jealousy caused the possession" thing which has no basis in anything. We know NOTHING about WHY Reverb possessed Arthur. We dont even actually know what Reverb is or what his powerset is. It seems to lean towards Reverb chooses victims who are in emotional turmoil, but this might not be a power requirement, he could just be an asshole and think its funny.

"Lance most likely built Arthurs arm" Nope. From lances intro post: "He doesn’t much understand Arthur’s more… robot-y tinkerings" Lance very specifically doesnt understand robotics. (but seems hes trying to learn based on the stuff on his desk, which is very sweet)

Video also doesnt even mention Vivis memory loss? Which idk seems kinda important??

Im...honestly tempted to make my own video before the next video comes out so that people who try and catch up have something without a bunch of random headcanons in it.

There's something that infuriates me so much about people mocking characters that fall into the "not like other girls" trap, because the reasons girls take on that stance is because they exist in a society that tries to put womanhood and femininity in a restrictive box that tells them who and how they should be.

They're generally mocked and derided for not wishing to conform to stereotypical femininity, but when they lash out in entirely predictable but ultimately unhelpful ways (by being dismissive and rude about other women and femininity in general) instead of understanding that it's a product of growing up in a society that's restricting them and punishing them for not conforming (either by choice or inability) so many people who claim to be feminists choose to mock them or make them out to be the cause of the problem rather than a symptom. Whether its being mocked in real life, or watching people deride the fictional characters they relate to, this behaviour just alienates those girls even further into thinking that the issue is other women, and confirms their belief that women who are typically feminine will only ever be derisive toward them and that they're somehow fundamentally different from other women.

If you know someone who thinks along those "I'm not like other girls" lines instead of mocking them try directing them towards resources that can help them understand where that harmful rhetoric comes from, and when you're critiquing characters that fit that mold try to consider why they behave that way, and what girls who see themselves in those characters take from your commentary.

It's missing my father hours rn so imma just dump a bunch of pictures here and cry

( sorry i don't know the source of anything I just had them on my phone)

(also dont read the tags i just need to let it out lol)

dont get me wrong, i hate the trend of villain backstory movies and shit just as much as anyone else, but i swear i have yet to see anyone talk about them and why theyre bad that doesnt just default to "some people are just ontologically evil and trying to understand why evil happens or what justification leads people to evil actions, let alone treating those who do evil acts as people as much as anyone else, is a farce and evil people are just subhuman who must be punished for it."

like. have you considered maybe its just that theyre bad because theyre continually bloating old IPs instead of taking risks on new ones, and weakening what came before for it. maybe we can go for this as an explanation, that its messy storytelling driven from profit, before we start going for "theres simply a class of people who are evil and whom you, dear viewer, will Never Be, Assuredly."

The type of Christian who asks atheists how they don't like, murder people on the reg are so funny to me because they seem to think their religion makes them the Peak of Morality when statements like "if you don't believe in God how comes you don't do X thing" all but outright state they have no idea why shit like murder and rape is bad except that God doesn't like it lmao. Like way to admit you have no intrinsic sense of morality and need to be afraid of a higher power to be a decent person, but I promise if you're not a piece of shit it's actually very natural not to want to do heinous evil shit all the time potential punishment from a higher power or not 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

rewatching 13s era for me is not so much diminishing returns as it is something opposite and eviler...............increasing losses? increasing losses

You out here hookin for cheeseburgers again Randy?

mans gotta eat.

You know how Ricky love weed so much ? That's me with food ( and weed )

I'd say I'm more like that with food than randy. While I respect Randy's love for fast food, I am more of an entrepreneur of sorts with it. ( For lack of a better word. ) It is an art craft for me as well as a general source of enjoyment and relaxation. I love breaking down the flavors and taking a moment to appreciate and acknowledge them before moving on with the experience. ( Especially if the chef is present ! )

Which is how I feel Ricky is with weed given he is a plug and a grower. Because I'm not just a feedee, I'm a cook as well 👨‍🍳 .

Sakura gets a second point for being the first to complete the tree climbing at being better at chakra control, but at the same time it just feels like she was made good at it so no extra training segment time would have to be put into her getting good at it and it can be all about Sauce and Nart. Idk that feels too pessimistic but also could totally be true.
