Again, after my like ten thousandth rewatch of s1 Peaky Blinders, I get to e6 and realize for the first time that there’s a calendar behind Campbell’s desk. I only caught this because I knew the Kimber showdown was on December 3rd from the black star diary entry, and during the shot when Moss tells Campbell that Kimber is dead, I noticed the big “3” behind his head.
So I went back to ep5 to see what date them digging up the guns and Tommy hiding at Grace’s was, because I always assumed that those days happened like right after another. But nah, the date behind Campbell when he’s telling the coppers that they dug up the guns is 21 (November) and then 22 later in the ep when Churchill calls him.
Which means a full week and a half passed between when Tommy and Grace slept together and when she told Tommy that she was leaving because she betrayed him. Does that not seem crazy to anyone else that that much time passed? Or am I just not suspending enough disbelief?

Grizzy: I just had breakfast.
SMii7y: Grizzy, what are you doing?
Grizzy: Going through it. That's what I'm doing.

OK, so I’ve been thinking a bit about how I fell into c dramas lately. Because I can’t seem to make the timeline make sense in my head. And after much research this afternoon, I think I’ve finally figured out why: the pandemic really has just entirely fucked with my perception of time. O_o;;;
I keep thinking that I just got into DMBJ like... “last year.” It FEELS like it should have been last year. But after that one WiP Title meme response, I was abruptly reminded that I was just getting into HeiPing almost exactly a year ago... and that was at LEAST a year after first getting into DMBJ. So I did some looking.
I reblogged my first TLTR posts in mid-late July OF 2020. Definitely NOT a year ago. XD And I caved and got an iQIYI subscription around the end of July/beginning of August of 2020 to watch it. So it’s been like... 2 1/2 YEARS, not ONE year. OTZ
Thanks pandemic... everything that happened around when you started was “a year ago” I GUESS???
Then I got curious about when I first got into c-dramas, because in my head that was “a couple of years ago” but CLEARLY IT WAS NOT.
My first tagged The Untamed post was from November of 2019.
...............REALLY.
I’m almost certain I started watching that in the summer of 2019. But either way, it was only a YEAR (or less???) from my first forays into c dramas to landing in the DMBJ pit?
No WONDER my mental timeline construct on that one is so fucked up. I was so sure I was in TUD fandom for longer than a year before branching out into Guardian and I was sure I was in Guardian for at least a year before stumbling into DMBJ but CLEARLY THAT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE CASE????
OMG, I am so confused. O_o;;;
I was writing (and posting) Legacies Lost up until the first full semester of lockdown began, which would have been Fall of 2020. And I don’t THINK I was in Guardian fandom before that? Maybe I overlapped more than I thought?
...my first Guardian post was May of 2020, but I’d clearly been watching for at least a little while by the time I reblogged that post.
I am SO fucking confused, you guys. I REALLY THOUGHT I was in c drama fandoms for much much longer before landing in DMBJ. HOW IS THAT SO CRUNCHED AND CONDENSED???
Ooooooooooh. OK, I see. I forgot that the summer of 2019 was Rocketman summer. And I was definitely NOT yet in c drama fandoms at the time. But now I remember that a friend was putting The Untamed on my dash for at LEAST 6 months to a year before I started watching it. That might be why it seemed like it was longer. And I guess I really must have overlapped more between Guardian and TUD than I thought I had. The tipping point to me posting more Guardian stuff was in June of 2020 and it was a month after that that I fell into DMBJ.
WOW.
Sorry guys; probably no one cares, but this is weirding me out a little. XD All this time I really thought I was in Guardian fandom for way longer than DMBJ but APPARENTLY NOT??? I’m so confused. XD
OK. I’m gonna go... toddle off and think about other things now. XD

god i wish i wouldn't have to explain the intricacies of the neopets economy to you guys to give the full context for this but. the new neopets team that took over from jumpstart pledged that they were going to curb the inflation of rare items, which is great because a lot of rare items are worth literally hundreds of millions of neopoints, they are unbuyable unless you've been playing actively for 20 years. they did this earlier with a site festival that included random loot boxes, some of which had Unbelievably Fucking Rare And Precious items worth 200 million neopoints apiece.
well.
today they have gone a step further. by releasing this year's trick-or-treat bags. and having the trick-or-treat bags be stuffed to the brim with unbelievably fucking rare stamps, weapons, paint brushes, defense magic, and other unbuyables. (all prohibitively expensive and in-high-demand types of items.)
jellyneo, the premier neopets website, has recorded prices of some items plummeting from 2,000,000 neopoints to 4,000 neopoints IN THE LAST THREE HOURS. this is when most people haven't even heard about the event or OPENED THEIR BAGS YET.
and of course. cherry on top. 20-year-old account holders are crytyping on the site events neoboard about how mean and cruel it is to make rare stamps part of the prize pool, because their entire identity hinges on being part of the neopian bourgeoisie, and they are having MELTDOWNS over their assets being devalued until they're part of the lowly proletariat.
this is a children's game for children btw.
none of the money is real.
i'm having such a good time.
