#look I knew this game was a trap#a team out of playoff contention against our flightless fucks#and I can watch it#plus ds is in goal after praise for his play and petry is back#this game is ours to lose#but it’s one thing to know and another to be down 3-0 in the first#anne watches hockey

While overall I felt like the tbosas movie was well done, there's one part that really bothered me. When Sejanus gets involved with the rebels in the book, he's fully on board, stealing them ammo and weapons from the base, and planning to hold guards at gunpoint to free the prisoners. In the movie, however, he just wants to run away and then is surprised and upset by the fact that the rebels were planning an act of violence.
This doesn't seem like a major change, but from a political standpoint (as tbosas is a very political book), it's a big one and one I very much do not like.
In the text, Sejanus plays the role of the moral compass. Whereas both Coriolanus and Lucy Gray having complex and subjective motivations, Sejanus is always driven by wanting to do the right thing, even if it costs him. He acts as a baseline, keeping the readers from getting lost in endless loops of justification for atrocities just because Coriolanus's internal narration is rhetorically persuasive.
So when Sejanus (who up until this point has been relatively pacifist) joins up with the rebels in the book and agrees to participate in an act of revolutionary violence, the text is pointing out that that act of rebellion is morally permissible. That even violence against the oppressor class can be an altruistic action. Sejanus planning to fight the guards with the rebels is not a sign of his corruption, it's a sign of the fact that his society has become so corrupt that not doing it would be morally worse than doing it. After all, someone's going to die either way, so why not have it be the oppressors?
If movie!Sejanus is still occupying the role of the moral compass (which he seems to be), then his dismay at the possibility of the rebels using violence acts as a narrative condemnation of the violence, when the opposite is true in the book. The movie tries to make a distinction between the "good" dissenters (pacifist, nonviolent, morally superior) and the "bad" dissenters (violent radicals/terrorists). In the current political climate, this idea and narrative is extremely unsettling. And I'm disappointed they did this, but not surprised. Like the other Hunger Games movies, it was produced by a large media company, and they can't follow the satire of the book too closely lest people realize the fundamental irony of it. People in positions of power do not want to tell a story where violent activism is portrayed as moral--at least when it's against a society that obviously mirrors our own. (The brutalist architecture style is another complaint that I have, but that can be discussed in another post.)
Changing that seemingly small detail about Sejanus's involvement with the rebels doesn't do much to change the continuity of the storyline, but it does a lot to change the underlying message of his character and the story. This was almost certainly intentional, because the same sort of thing was done in the original trilogy movies as well. Companies are scared of subversive media because it makes them look like the 'bad guys' too, so they wrap rebellion in a lens of fantasy and moderatism.
#sejanus plinth#politics#tbosas#the hunger games#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#analysis#thg#pigeon.txt#I have a LOT of thoughts about this#but this post is already long as hell#anyways. violent revolution is morally justified.#we have nothing to lose but our chains

when your main characters start dating after years of writing so they finally get to be like this
#rare WIP preview from me#this is in like. 10 episodes. lmfao#its been really hard working this far ahead#my editor isnt giving me any feedback and my friends are very busy so it's felt quite lonely#which is fine! for my friends I mean. but its my editors job to give me feedback...#but the webtoon editors are extremely extremely extremely overworked and my series is set to end so I understand its low priority#its not her fault its webtoons fault. however. its still demotivating...#oh well l m a o#I should be much further ahead ngl LMFAO I want like 12 done but I come back in 2 weeks.#we'll see#when I get really stressed out I go full gamer mode#and usually I'll sink like 60 hours (like 5 days) into a game and then I'm good and move on#but this recent game that grabbed me is. its too much actually#bit uncontrollable ngl I think its an ADHD thing I mostly have just quit playing videogames at all#cause its like yeah being stressed cause theres too much work to do is not going to be helped by losing a week and a half to a game...#and yet.#anyways the game is satisfactory#my friend bought it for me and we've been playing together#and our shared file has. 100 hours on it. and we still havent beaten the game#we're close to beating it and it's not like we're rushing or anything#cause its fun to fuck around and zap eachother or whatever#but it's got me doing math. the exact kind of math I love to do. optimization#and its reminding me yeah in another life id have been an engineer#I'm glad I'm an artist but its always weird like yeah this is easily a path I could have gone down#'artists hate math' speak for yourself doing math calms me down! I love math!#I love math and I love business. I'm almost the perfect artist but I hate advertising so. we can't have it all#anyways theyre so fucking cute its sickening. I love them so much.

If we're not giving up, don't give up wherever you are.
That's a promise.
#im not even sure if you can see whats going on clearly on that last pic but i give up im too tired#scenario: we get to interact with the lost soul. cuz its not like he can see us.... but he would definitely know its not frisk though#considering deltarune noelle can hear our voice wHY NOT HUH?? HUH??? WHY NOT US WITH SANS#IM THROWING THAT LINE BACK AT YOU SANS#whats gonna happen after this? he probably wont remember. everyone canonically only remembers flowey and then a flash of white after.#but we will keep that moment close in our hearts hehe#IF HE WERE TO REMEMBER THE VOICE? id say it would become his lil own personal motivation. remembering it brightens his mood on bad days.#it still makes me lose my mind#that THAT PROMISE LINE#is in the code#but is never directly seen in game#BUT ITS THERE#AND THE IMPLICATIONS#makes me so damn emotional#anyways this scene is going to my delusional fanfic that im debating on whether im even going to post it or not#we shall see#sansnomaly#sans x reader#sans x self insert#sans undertale#junie art post

learning abt friendship decay and "not reaching out to your friends for months at a time unprompted is not neurotypical behaviour" has me feeling a certain way
#experiencing some BIG FEELINGS OVER THIS REVELATION#listen i have never ever been bothered abt not seeing someone in a while or making time to talk to them bc in my mind its like not thst muc#time has passed. i mean it with every fibre of my being that when im like 'oh its ok even though we havent talked in a while and have our#own things going on it doesnt mean we're not friends anymore since we left things on a good note 8 months ago' i sincerely believe that#and for the longest time i just thought everybody makes peace with it at some point and not automatically assuming the other person doesnt#wanna talk to me anymore or smth. my longest lasting friendships are with ppl who work the same way i just thouhght that was normal#whatever organ everybody has that makes them reach out to their friends and plan hang outs i probably dont have it#i was already hesitant to ask out Alex bc i spend almost every waking hour doing smth that isnt talking to ppl unless they happen to be in#the vicinity. and at first it was bc i planned on making sure i had everything set up so i dont get stressed out and do it one at a time#but then i find out theres a friendship decay mechanic? and after dating and marrying someone you lose -10 friendship points for every#day u dont talk to them?? actually ive probably been losing friendship points this whole time without knowing bc of this?????#and i notice a lot of my own habits are also reflected in how i play bc ive been avoiding getting close to pierre and marnie since its more#of a professional relationship. like i know theyre npcs but im approaching it the way i would in real life its fucking nuts#i think its a little relieving im playing /as/ a character than myself bc as im playing im just making up little interactions in my head#than approaching things the way i would myself so it takes a bit of the stress off trying to put myself in there as a spectator. but well#being in a relationship demands a certain amount of energy even more so when theyre things that already take up energy on its own#like making time to talk to your partner and make sure they know theyre loved. i dont always have energy to put all my mental focus into it#and this is true for real life so im not really bothered by not dating anyone. but when its a game and i want my character to be with someo#and i know its fully optional and i know i could just apply the same logic to this i dont /want/ to. sometimes i want to experience#the same things other people do at least to a certain degree without the same emotional andmental stakes#no offense krobus#yapping#stardew#stardew valley#puppy plays sdv#sdv#this game has me by the ankles man

at this point I genuinely hope mitch gets traded to a west coast team and has a fulfilling life and career. and I hope that career leads him to the scf where he meets the leafs, who finally clawed their way to the end, and I hope he nets the cup winning goal that crushes the hopes and dreams of this miserable, miserable fanbase
#i knew twitter was a hellscape but the shit ive read over the past week...#fucking terrifying how comfortable people are with saying straight up horrific things about someone over a GAME#A SPORT#HOCKEY#and they're out here saying he doesn't deserve happiness all because of A GAME#im not gonna be sad about losing this year because i want all of our guys out of the media circuit and public eye#leafs#mitch marner

Detroit Become Human and why does this game decide that the problem in society is individual people treating androids poorly because those androids are choking them out of the workforce and NOT the corporations and governments who deliberately designed the androids to do this
#AUGHHGHH#I promise you dbh is still one of my favourite games I really do#But ohhhhhhhjghh my GODDDD it makes me mad#Like ESPECIALLY this year. With artists and writers being so fucked by ai#Like the game has less than no sympathy for people who were screwed over by cyberlife deciding their labour wasn't worth anything#Like everybody has to be a strawman. Everybody has to be the violent 'android bad because (some vague reason that draws on the#'immigrants are stealing our jobs' line despite the fact that these things aren't equivalent at all)#Like yes. Robots being placed in positions where a real human would be paid a real wage to do that job is bad. This is a bad thing#But the game. Does not CARE#It's so morally neutral for cyberlife to be allowed to mass produce androids in the middle of a poverty epidemic that they created#It's fine! Says Detroit Become Human because everyone rendered homeless or struggling by this company's actions is a violent drug addict#Or something#It's like HUH#H U H#This game was so enamoured with it's weird bad civil rights allegory that it forgot that people do actually need jobs to uh. Pay to live#Because things are hell#And I think it could've been SO much better if the game acknowledged this AS WELL as acknowledging that no android chose this#Like a fresh deviant didn't ask to cause a real person to not have a job. The company who made them did#But dbh doesn't care. Cyberlife is morally neutral in this. I swear#Loses my mind this game is such a mess#Uhhh if anyone's reading this please don't get mad at me I promise I do really love this game. Like this game is the reason I#Met the love of my life. I am physically incapable of hating this game#I just think it's so worth discussing the ways it fails in (what I think is) a constructive manner#detroit become human#game analysis#I guess#If anyone has any contributions or disagrees with me I would LOVE love to hear. Genuinely I love talking about things like this#Essay in tags

#honestly if we make the playoffs with this defense we deserve the super bowl#it's just such a fucking shame#i don't know that there's a way to fix it at this point. except maybe getting rankins back?#the d-line DID play better today#but the cb's have now taken a step back#hilariously dax hill has become our best cb despite only transitioning to that position a few months ago??#like cam DID make plays#but he also had some huge fuck ups again#i just don't know what we doooo#i guess we just...have to go on a quick 13 game win streak#get all that losing over with in the first part of the season#only solution.

the one thing amiss from nsbu's concept and the general isekai/modern jumanji medias in general is the fact that in the original jumanji all that shit happened in the real life town. people died for real. we need to bring funny games (1997) to the tabletop scene
#not art#me being so aware that doing /horror/ horror is functionally no-go for d20: okay but hear me out#this idea actually sorta breaks down if u bring in the notion of stakes bc the point kinda is that the pc characters Die#the other parallel-world-mania movie I was thinking abt wrt this is nightmare on elm street and well. thats even bleaker lol#but honestly it might be fun if you play it play-to-lose style like the zone rpg#you come into the game knowing whether you'll die or not. only one player character makes it to the end (our final girl)#the rest is carnage nsbu style#I think nsbu's g13 plot beat just makes me think of like. ok what if a character makes it out of a tape#and then. what if that tape is a slasher movie and the slasher is loose#.....this would honestly work better as a comic or movie lmao. but I do like the idea of a horror/comedy campaign#of this using nsbu's really bombastic no-hold-barrels ridiculous-feat-of-power-based design#eh. simply my pre-nap vision u know how it is. need more blood in me is all

...so now that grandfest is over and the results were revealed am i allowed to say that some of y'all were such dicks to team present over their team choice for NO good reason ever since grandfest was revealed or am i going to get mauled for being right.
anyways congrats to the team past members who weren't assholes about their team choice and those team past members only every match against you guys made me feel like i was crawling in the trenches and it's very impressive 👍
#ghost whispers#splatoon#splatfest#grandfest#grand festival#feeling brave i'm putting this in the tags. just know if u start shit i'm blocking u#if u think me posting this is why i turned off asks ur mistaken i've had them off for a hot second now lol#i know it's in the spirit of finalfest to be an ass to the team y'all don't want to win ig but. seriously. some of y'all needed to shut up#genuinely i'm so sick of hearing 'at least team present didn't win' or 'don't let present win' and y'all being dicks about our team choice#that and i'm going to be real i genuinely doubt nintendo is going to do that much for what the winning team will effect the next game#u all saw how much chaos effected splat 3. u saw how much splat 1's effected things#like i'm going to be real it's only going to effect shit subtly i feel like and the losing teams are still gonna have a presence like alway#and that point aside. people were also picking past for squid sisters and future for deep cut too so i'm just???#baffled why u need to complain about the small selection of people who picked present for oth??? who gives a shit

LITG S8 Thots for this week: Very bad day for loyal girlies…
(Making this while still slightly baked from getting high last night so just know you’re getting ruthless Cahleel today😍)
• So ngl first impressions of the boys…Oakley outsold them all. Call me biased I really dgaf.
• Not even 10 seconds in and Luna already babbling about Jin omg just kill me now.
• Oh bitch I’m officially making it canon that him and my S6 MC fucked around at one point like what? Fusebox stop copying our shit!!!
• Max is Jin 2.0 I literally have nothing else to say about him.
• Kyle not serving to me sorry. I know all y’all going crazy over him and like his body is tea but girl he’s just…no😭😭😭 Also he has a scorpion tattoo which means the Scorpio of the season has been recognized and I care about my MC so I am NOT putting her through that pain.
• And here I thought Oakley was going to end up being the “Gary” of this season…
• Kyle fancies me the most…great! Now leave me alone after I reject you the first time!
• Luna’s going after Jin’s replacement- I MEAN Max! How surprising…
• God I hate you already.
• I can’t stand when they do this. Last time I checked none of these names belong to a 6’3, Ghanaian firefighter with a fat ass and a slutty waist so as far as I’m concerned my eyes are firmly CLOSED.
• Outfit time!
• The other look was boring sorry but I LOOOOVE this one.
• Luna being mad about Jin part 2 omg PLEASE KILLLLLLL MEEEE.
• Ugh yasss we can sleep by ourselves. Y’all will not trap me!
• Bea telling me about this other chick that Oakley went on a date with like I care, ok.
• But you was just mad cuz Jin winked at somebody…girl go to HELLLLLL.
• Outfit time!
• Come on Arabian Nights tease!
• Kyle and Liam been fucking on the low omg?
• Time to suffer through meaningless chats.
• I’m making my girl sound like the most boring person ever trying to ignore these dudes help😭😭😭
• Oh that’s not…
• Luna you are literally only interested in Shawn because you know he’s the only one I’ve given the time of day…does it not hurt being this much of a loser?????
• Outfit time!
• Cute…that’s about it tho.
• Kyle saying he did a tattoo for a celebrity and then the said celebrity being Gabi of all people like wow nobody moved.
• WHERE IS THE FIGHT OPTION??? WHERE IS IT??? LET ME HIT HER!!!
• Liam had us form a whole dance circle around him just for him to start seizing ok.
• Shawn you’re sooooo cute but I really don’t want you baby just stop trying❤️
• This whole conversation with Bea chile I can’t. Oakley went on a date with another girl…ok and??? He called her a head turner…did he say she was turning HIS head??? They connected…OVER FUCKING BAKING. Oakley literally said he was in love with us and was planning on making us his girlfriend it literally makes no sense whatsoever. Fusebox y’all are getting too predictable bruh like obviously y'all are not gonna make our OG LI cheat on us so what is the point of the gossip other than to get US to cheat on THEM?
• And this shit oh brotherrrrr😭 I can’t wait for next week when we find out that Luna was screaming because Shawn gave her a great foot rub like fuck out my face with that. Also even if they are fucking I DO NOT CAREEEEE! I DO NOT WANT HIM!!!!
#guys they’re losing me#bring our men back#litg#love island the game#litg tempting fate#litg s8#litg season 8
