#thoughts that i never vocalized

Me: CX-2 is Tech. There's no way they'd pull another Marrock. That would be way too predictable considering they literally just did that on Ahsoka's show!

Dr. Hemlock: I PUT THE NECROMANCER IN PROJECT NECROMANCER WITH MY CREEPY BIZARRO VERSION OF CLONE FORCE 99!!!

Me:

=====

Me: So much of this is like the Mandalorian. I bet they're giving us a happy ending where everyone lives. .... girl, that's crazy talk. That definitely won't happen.

Finale: And they all lived happily ever after on Pabu. (Except for Tech)

Me:

=====

Me: I bet "The Cavalry Has Arrived" is going to parallel "Rookies" because Echo is wearing the white armor and it's dangerous to go outside, especially after an enormous beast climbs up from hell and eats someone and there is going to be a sacrifice in which one person gets shot but blows up the lab like Hevy did and Grievous said "we can't let a few puny clones stop us" and clones are going to be the reason Tantiss gets blown to smithereens. ...maybe you're reading too much into this, calm down, girl.

Finale: That's what happens.

Me:

Thank you all for voting in the poll to decide who was going to be the leader of the band! It turned out to be such a close race!

i don’t think i’ll ever get over the way optimus’ voice breaks just slightly when he says “and you betrayed me.” optimus felt the need to make a distinction, because yes, d-16 betrayed cybertron, but somehow worse than that, he betrayed orion. and never in a million years would orion have thought his best friend would go that far. cybertron be damned, how could d-16 betray him? optimus reserved a small piece of selfish anger, just for them. he’s mourning his best friend, himself, and the life that they could have had.

The continued motherification of Katara is tiring and needs to stop.

One of the first interactions between Aang and Katara is him taking her Penguin sledding and she says "I haven't done this since I was a kid!" and he yells back "You still are one!" and that will forever be one of the greatest moments in the show for me.

The show says time and time again that Katara does not like being perceived as a mother figure but that is the way she knows to show her care due to the role she was forced into at a young age.

The biggest point of contention between her and Toph is that Katara cares by mothering and Toph doesn't want a mother and they have to reach an understanding with each other on how to love the other properly. It wasn't just about toph learning to accept Katara's mothering but also Katara moving away from her equation of mothering = love, finding new ways to express that love and care. And their relationship is better for it.

Katara's mothering while not inherently bad or something I think she can ever really separate herself from, is not just a quirk of her character but an internalization of a deep trauma and duty. She's a kid in a tough situation that cares deeply for everyone around her but she’s still a kid. She still wants to be a kid.

for anyone who likes mascot horror, i honestly cannot recommend Indigo Park enough! it just released chapter 1 today and i can't believe i never heard of it before! it has a ton of talented content creators i love working on it and it's just amazing! you can tell how much thought was put into it and it paid off splendidly. the ambience was on point, it genuinely felt unsettling and unsafe from an early point, and i loved the setting and can't wait to see where they take it.

and if that's not enough, just look at your companion:

his name is Rambley and i would kill for him

Honestly transformers one deserves a medal for being the first transformers. Thing. In like five years to make me actually like and want to see bumblebee

hi just a little thing but please DNI if you try deny yuma being androgynous. genuinely such a weird and red flag take for me . he’s advertised as being an androgynous vocal, you can’t deny that he is an androgynous voicebank /gen

Porter LOVES how vocal Jace is when they fuck. Every little whimper or moan just makes him try new things that he thinks will earn him new sounds out of Jace and he absolutely never disappoints.

He likes to get him overstimulated bc that’s when he makes the prettiest sounds. Porter goes insane over this like- After they hook up for the first time he can barely look Jace in the eye during work because if he does he’ll have a hard time not dragging him off somewhere private just to coax more sounds out of him.

I’m kind of baffled about the state of dawntrail discussions having two parties in regards to Living Memory, one being “shutting it down is amoral” and the other being “it’s moral and not at all like what Emet-Selch wanted to do with us”. It’s like a lot of people refuse to engage with the narrative from any other perspective other than their own when the game essentially hits you over the head with the message.

Yes, the existence of Living Memory is unsutainable and amoral and, frankly, pointless – you can make the very valid argument that the people there were just AI chatbots trained on the memories of a given individual, leeching off of the souls of others, their existence demanding the genocide of the entire universe in the end. I agree, in our eyes, Living Memory is an affront to life, sure!

Nobody seems to talk about that this is the exact same perspective Emet-Selch had about us, or when mentioned, people say that it isn’t the same. It is? He very explicitly tells us that the people living on the shards today are pale imitations to what he considered to be life, and thus shutting it down and trying to undo his mistake IS the solution (he is very much like Solas from DA in this regard), because in his eyes there’s nothing to lose but everything to gain. Emet-Selch saw us in the same light we see the people of Living Memory, and the game is painfully unsubtle in drawing this parallel. Even with the differences (we are not recreated memories but actual souls being reborn from the aetherial sea, etc-etc), the game WANTS you to make this connection between Emet and what we do. It is quite literally the point!

Yes, Living Memory has to be shut down because its biggest drawback is that it’s unsustainable and would continue to destroy what we deem to be lives. It is also arguably an affront to what we consider life and its natural end (directly opposing the message of Endwalker). The Endless aren’t even too hung up about this shutdown, bar Sphene. Shutting down Living Memory is necessary.

But you can’t say it was morally good and unquestionable if you can’t give Emet’s views the same grace. In the end, both his plans (and the Ascians at large, frankly) and Living Memory had to be stopped because that means survival for us, but to divorce the two narratives to maintain the WoL and co.’s moral superiority is disingenuous and does the story a disservice.

why is it so easy for bob’s burgers to make me emotional

Needing a Sua perspective from the ALNST auditions to Round 1. I never put much thought into what happens to the cast post-Anakt Garden graduation (do they immediately go to the auditions? Is there a period of time where they dont see each other until they recognize each other at the audition? Theres a considerable amount of time between the auditions and their Alien Stage season, did they see each other often between then or...? etc.), but regardless, imagine being her and having to choose between sabotaging your own audition so you dont have to go the the Sing, Win, or Die Show or putting your in your all in hopes of winning and spending just a bit more time with this girl you love because you know itll likely be the last time you see her. Imagine...

I feel like you’re giving me a warped impression of what 40k is like.

Is this because of the adorable catboy dark angels? Do you hate me bc i like it when my power armored kittens yell "REPENT FOR TOMORROW YOU DIE"?

[iregreteverythingpleasehelpme]

okay finally had a chance to sit down and watch ii’s drumeo interview (edit to add: this was the only thing getting me through the day, i genuinely just kept telling myself “finish this job and you can watch ii”- sad, i know lmao)

that was so cool? i’m fully obsessed with the way he moves when he drums, i go back to his earlier offerings videos of the tpwbyt instrumentals because he’s mesmerizing to watch. so fluid and graceful

i also very much enjoyed the way he spoke. i’m sure part of the cadence was making sure the voice filter didn’t mangle or lose any words, but the longer i watched the more it seemed like he spoke slowly because he was thinking every word through. ii strikes me as a very thoughtful, and (clearly) very well spoken person

i love finding musicians who inspire me to learn new things and god if i had the space/money/arm-leg coordination i would absolutely learn how to drum (unfortunately despite over a decade of dance i struggle to convince my arms and legs to move differently, they have to match or i short circuit😅)
