literally everyone else in the life series: yeah haha we're just vibin with friends. might make a few little digs at watcher stuff but its all in good fun--

martyn: the gods are real. they are eldritch, immortal beings who are insatiably devouring any ounce of entertainment they can get out of us. we are but playthings trapped in their endless games. there is no escape. they hate scott smajor specifically

blunt, brash, and often times described as barbaric on the field, knight!atsumu is rough around the edges. while he does maintain the code of chivalry, he can't stop from speaking up when someone of a higher position makes a snide comment about him, he chews his food obnoxiously, and is one of the only royal knights who earned this position through merit and not class — atsumu comes from a poor commoner family up in the countryside.

and yet — you can't help but be fascinated by him. sneaking glances at him when he's on the training field, assigning tea time in the gardens when you know he's on guard duty for that area; the fascination turns into affection when he is promoted to be one of the knights officially assigned to protect you. the two of you end up engaging in a secret relationship, and right when you are about to reveal the truth to your father, the king, that you have given sir atsumu your heart, the king makes two announcements: your country is going off to war + atsumu will be needed on the battlefield, and you are set to be betrothed to a nearby kingdom's crown prince in order to secure a strong alliance for this war.

Neverending life or something, similar to last life, but with more lives. Instead of up to 6, like last life, its up to 15 or something. Above 10 is dark green, above 5 is green, 2-5 is yellow, 1 is red. But each life you only have 6 hearts instead of 10. Boogeyman still applies, but a successful boogeyman kill gets you an additional three hearts. And trading lives still applies. But, the big twist is, you can also trade lives with eliminated players, and essentially revive them from the dead. But if you're a green life and you revive someone, that means they are a red life until they get another life, so you could revive them and then they could immediately kill you if they wanted. Just think about the drama!!

Imagine being on your second to last life and bringing your beloved teammate back from the dead, only for them to kill you and take you out of the series instead…

WTF WAS THIS X-MEN 97 EPISODE WTFFFFFF!!!!!

[mistninja]

NOT HER FATHER?! !?

ok omg stranger things anon here ready to spill details: so there’s two new characters introduced in the second season, a young teen girl + her jackass older stepbrother and like… he’s a HORRIBLE person, he’s entitled and has anger issues, he’s racist and tries RUNNING OVER his stepsisters black boyfriend, beats another well beloved character within an inch of his life, etc etc etc he’s just all around dangerous and vile

they tried redeeming him by implying his dads abusive but… id argue that doesn’t excuse how crazy violent he is towards the other characters. in s3 the writers decided the best direction to take his character was… make him get possessed??? and do even more horrible things? but like now hes ~scared~ because it’s getting out of his control, but he’s still doing awful stuff 😭

and the season ends with him essentially sacrificing himself to save the other characters in this big emotional scene where his stepsister cries over him and he’s forgiven despite how beyond awful he’d been to her in every scene they shared….. yeah. not great. and i say this as someone who enjoyed his character in the previous season! i thought he was a dick, and he sucked, but he was interesting. alas any potential for an actual character arc of some sort was just. completely thrown to the side for a predictable and boring trope

i'm SCREAMINGGGGGG you weren't kidding that is the WORST iteration of that trope i am shocked

thank you so much for sharing i literally was on the edge of my seat reading this you're a fantastic story teller

i'm a big fan of tv shows where they do an episode from the POV of a side character and they're living in a completely different genre than the main character

he's back at it, yet another serious death threat has hit car hammer explosion man

in case you were wondering how things went down at the pokemon world championships this weekend:

-during the top 8 of the TCG masters division, chilean player fernando cifuentes was running a gimmick deck that consisted exclusively of four iron thorns ex and a whole ton of control-focused trainer cards in a strategy that either completely shuts down opponents or shits the bed entirely

-through skillful play and some good luck, fernando made it through 2 days in a tournament with over 1100 players to get to the quarterfinals

-fernando lost 2-0 to ian robb, who was running regidrago vstar (widely considered one of the best decks in the current format)

-in an overexuberant victory celebration, ian did what can only be described as a jacking-off gesture, on a stream with tens of thousands of viewers run by a company with very firm player conduct expectations

-the judges determined that this warranted a penalty of game loss, but for some reason, rather than applying it to ian’s next game in the semifinals, they applied it to the one he had just won in the top 8

-(it should be noted that the prize money for making top 8 is $15k while top 4 is $20k, so this jerking gesture cost ian robb $5,000)

-nearly an hour after fernando came to terms with his loss and the end of an impressive run, he was told that he was to get back on stream because he’s now playing in the semifinals due to winning by default

-the player he was up against in the semifinals was playing a deck (miraidon) that happens to get shut down hard by iron thorns’s gimmick, so fernando wins the semifinals

-said player, jesse parker, had notably had an undefeated run throughout the whole tournament up to this point, and likely would have continued that streak had his intended semifinal opponent not gotten a game loss penalty for miming a lewd act on stream

-meanwhile, the other semifinal winner is japan’s seinosuke shiokawa, running a deck (roaring moon) that players had largely written off as underwhelming months ago

-the grand finals are on the following day, so saturday evening was abuzz with a lot of people baffled by the absurdity of the situation

-come sunday afternoon, the grand finals are set to begin, with fernando cifuentes running iron thorns and seinosuke shiokawa running roaring moon

-it should be noted here that the roaring moon deck doesn’t rely very much on abilities, so iron thorns’s gimmick has very little effect - this is basically an even matchup

-fernando wins the first game of the set, and seinosuke wins the second

-the third and final game of the set is a bonafide cheek-clencher, with both players reaching a state where a single KO will win the game, but fernando manages to clinch it at the last minute

-and that’s the story of how a guy pretending to jork it led to the first instance of a pokemon world champion who also lost the quarterfinals

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.

The thing that is interesting is if you have any semblance of personality you will definitely encounter people who viscerally hate you and obsess over you for years and you will not even remember their name
