#talk about false hope

“Oh, dear, what an awkward situation. I had hoped it was merely due to some oversight. Well, in that event, I'd best be on my way.”

Maleficent and Diablo in Sleeping Beauty (1959)

my heart breaks for him and his family, not only they're going through something incredibly traumatizing but they're witnessing part of the internet refer to him as a murderer, writing horrible things about him and these trash articles. i really hope they're all taking care of themselves mentally, luigi especially because he must be going through hell. i really hope he has a lot of distractions in there, otherwise he's really going to lose his mind.

imagine seeing your baby boy/brother always be a sweet little gentleman and an overall awesome human being who was always top of his class, took part in various activities and enjoyed people's company and the people also loved him to seeing him being called a killer/murderer, facing insane charges, being kept in inhumane conditions (all prisons are inhumane in usa), seeing him shackled in court on live tv and facing the death penalty and seemingly all anybody cares about (according to the media) is his pretty face and his shackled ankles and loafers without socks and fake sex tapes, it's like going straight from heaven to the deepest pits of hell where no light could ever touch

i'd be so mad that the media isn't talking about the at least half a dozen NYPD officers facing multiple charges for falsifying evidence and false prosecution against other people or that his defense lawyers have filed motions talking about how his rights were violated when he was arrested or how there's a very very real chance that the police planted false evidences on him at the time of his arrest (look at what the NYPD officers are charged with, it's a normal thing for them) or that thousands of people are wholeheartedly supporting him and donating regularly to his fund and think he's not guilty by all accounts and want him to be free

Luigi seems to be coping by writing sweet letters expressing support and sympathy to people who're sharing their woes in their letters to him 🥹

Late(ish) at night gman ramblings time

Honestly I have yet to find a popular theory as to what Gman is that actually feels like. right to me. Like some of them are neat ideas, if put into something fan made, but if it turned out to be canon, most of the outcomes i've seen feel like they'd be super disappointing, in my opinion of course.

I've seen theories about Gman being a Shu'ulathoi that shapeshifted into a humanoid form, and while the idea is novel, I honestly feel as though it. limits him too much. It removes the mystery aspect of him because now we know what he is, and what his motivations are. Like, if Valve ever truly confirmed that Gman is some sort of alien species that we can easily pinpoint, or even one we've seen before, it would feel like it's putting gman in a box that doesn't fit him.

To me, Gman is best left unknowable. He is a species that only has one member (maybe), he doesn't have a set true (or at least comprehensible) form, but he's definitely not human. He doesn't have a name, he has no set species that aligns with anything we have seen so far. An eldritch entity that is outside what we have observed within the Half Life universe. As much as I would love to learn more about Gman, I also fear the mystery of him being removed and overall making him feel less like a cosmic threat.

Overall I don't personally think most of the theories explaining what he could possibly be are correct for him. He is nothing, yet everything at the same time. True ambiguity.

I certainly have my own concerns about the treatment of moo deng but um. well i think some of you may just be racist

[rainbow-neko-artblog]

okay not to come of as a hater for a second but i'm thinking about this again and kind of want to get the thought out...

is it just me or is the way people discuss pilots online a little... odd? don't get me wrong, it's honestly really cool to see people get so hyped up and invested in something based on the pilot alone, but from how some people discuss them it belies a bit of a misunderstand of what a pilot is supposed to be and do.

a pilot is a proof of concept for something, not the finished product. this is most evident with pilots produced the traditional route, where the final series may be wildly different from the initial pitch (the first one that comes to mind is the gravity falls pilot, although it's still pretty similar to what we did end up getting).

so it's... i'm a little concerned for the inevitable fallout when a popular pilot becomes a series that's different from it's initial pitch, i suppose

This isn't targeted at anyone in particular and is just a general reminder cause I'm sure a lot of people feel this way already

But please don't stress over mods breaking, or "not being able to produce content for X days" because of Cyberpunk's updates and expansion

You can just play and enjoy the game for what it is, it won't erase any of your lore or any of your OCs, you don't HAVE to create a new V to enjoy the game/story/expansion, you don't HAVE to share your replay experience online either! (If you want to do it and scream with others GOOD cause I plan on doing so too, but don't feel obligated to do so if you don't want to is what I'm saying)

You don't HAVE to keep up a quota of X number of pictures to post online to "not loose relevance" in "the community", it's OK if you miss a "male V monday" or "thirsty thursday" or any other themed day, you DON'T HAVE to DO anything 🙏

Your OCs, lore, headcanons, ships- nothing will get erased, everything will still be waiting for you once the necessary mods will get updated post PL

Disconnect yourself from the fandom, disconnect yourself from having to share everything, everytime, and learn how to enjoy the medias and games you love again! you'll feel better and happier in general 🤲

exactly! he wasn't trying to become "famous" and every little detail about his life has been dissected and people are overanalyzing and projecting into his life (for ex. his relationship with his parents). i feel really bad when i read people speculating, i admit i'm also curious but i never went on a hunt for pictures or wrote to people in his life to get info, there's a line and the fact that he's a normal guy and i could go and cross it doesn't mean i should. what truly worries me is his safety when he'll step out there (i'm brain-whashing myself into thinking he'll make it out of there asap) because there are so many people who are crossing boundaries and acting like crazy fan girls, and i use that term because it's the type of behaviour i've only seen for popstars, and i believe some people are on just on the point of crossing the "stalker" line unfortunately. i truly hope he hasn't received any creepy mail, he has his life on the line and the last thing he has to worry about are creeps. i hope those people who are there to treat him like the pop it boy of the moment will stop treating him like that and start seeing a human being.

i really don't like it when people psychoanalyse him, like please just make sure he gets out and he'll get himself a therapist to psychoanalyse things with if he wants to (he will probably need it too, because everything that's been happening and will keep happening is too much for a person to handle) none of us needs to psychoanalyse him and inspect him like a bug under the microscope tho, we can give him some privacy and respect and minimal dignity that should be afforded to every human no matter their present situation

i'm also brainwashing myself into believing that he'll hopefully get out soon enough, because i can't look at the other option and accept it in any way

he can't get any letters like that anyways, all letters are screened and photocopied (some are read to check contents usually for others, for him who knows what's happening, maybe they're reading everything too just because) and only then does he get the letters, by which of course i mean he only gets the photocopies and not the actual written letter, so there's almost zero chance anything not strictly nice has gotten to him yet

the witch hat atelier trailer got me curious, have you ever read the manga? and if not do you think you'll be giving either it or the anime adaptation a try? i think you would enjoy it :)

I've been meaning to and now I certainly will. I know next to nothing about it and want to form my own opinions and dissect the text without an outside bias
