I realise so much of my knowledge of history comes from horrible histories and I can't just tell people the information it's always a quote from something
mostly the songs
I won a pub quiz through horrible history knowledge once they're so deeply ingrained in my head
#they get stuck in my head so much#theyre actually really good songs#i was also obsessed with them as a kid#like id make my parents play some of them everyday before school#horrible histories#history#songs#unironically i know like 2 word perfect

The way Jimin dances is just majestic. It's hypnotizing to watch, like I can watch him dance and move for hours. He's literally beauty and grace. He knows his body and what he can get it to do. He pushes himself but the end result is perfection.
***
I chuckled when you said majestic. Because that’s the word that unironically describes him.
Majestic.
And he knows it too.
That’s the thing about Jimin, he *knows* what he is. He is majestic, that is a quality that is innate to him, and it’s also expressed in his dancing.
Something I’ve been doing all day is streaming Set Me Free Pt 2 in honour of FACE’s 1st anniversary. It’s clear why Like Crazy was chosen as the title track and it does also feature Jimin dancing wonderfully, but SMF Pt 2 will always be the Jimin track for me.
And in that song, you see Jimin be majestic. He has men and women bowing down to him, raising him up, cocooning him and flagging him. And that’s just formations.
When it comes to Jimin’s actual body movements, you’re right. He hypnotizes. Because it is extremely clear that he settles for nothing less than perfection.
Thank you for sending in this reason for why you love Jimin, @ahhockey. I relate so hard. 💜

Sofie's Belated Reactions to Today's Nintendo Direct:
Mario & Luigi: Brothership
I'D KNOW THOSE CRIES OF TERROR ANYWHERE
BEES
LOOK AT MY BOY GO!!!!! YOU MOMENTARILY DEFY THOSE GRAVITIES MAN!!
Wasn't sure about the visuals for the new Mario & Luigi game but they very swiftly grew on me!
ADORABLE CHILD CONNIE I LOVE YOUR HAT
I already love the Extension Corps mini boss squad
"Brothership" is the best title for a Mario & Luigi game oh my word.
(More below the cut!)
Nintendo World Championship: NES Edition
Neato! Nintendo-sanctioned online speedrunning competitions is not something I expected in this Direct, or at all, but I'm happy to see it!
This is reminding me of my goal to speedrun the first Luigi's Mansion game and see what my personal best is... I gotta do that sometime.
Fairy Tale 2
I don't go here but I'm happy for all you Fairy Tale enthusiasts out there!
FANTASIAN: Neo Dimension
WHOA WHOA WHOA did the announcer just say the creator of Final Fantasy created this game??????
I don't go here either but it looks fun!
Nintendo Switch Sports (free update)
MIO: Memories in Orbit
I'm digging the visuals for this!!! Not sure what I'm looking at, but I like it!
OH??????? RAIN WORLD-ESQUE ROBOT CHARACTER????? I'M LISTENING OuO
I absolutely adore this player character design oh my word
THE ENVIRONMENTSSSSSS OH MY GOLLY GEE WILLICKERS
NINTENDO YOU CAN'T JUST SHOW ME THIS TRAILER WITH NO COMMENTARY AND DROP A RELEASE WINDOW WITHOUT ANY FURTHER COMMENT. I NEED TO KNOW MORE.
Disney Illusion Island (free update)
Not many thoughts here other than I absolutely LOVE the pin connecting mini game idea.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure
OH MY GOSH HI HELLO KITTY HIIIIII
There's a Sanrio game with character customization????? EXCUSE ME??????? MY SANRIO-SONA IS PENDING YOU GUYS.
WHERE is Tuxedo Sam. WHERE is My Melody. WHERE are my children.
THERE THEY ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nintendo this can't launch next year, I need it NOW
Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports
Oh they had to get people's attention for this with Lola Bunny, huh
The lineart effect being blurred and pixelated in places even in the trailer does not bode well in my eyes (they are the eyes of someone playing Pokemon Scarlet)
It's a fun cartoony idea for a party game though! I like it!
Among Us (free update)
No comment beyond I still have never played a game of Among Us. I don't know if I could survive a public lobby.
Farmagia
OH MY WORRRRRRRRD
Digimon / Pokemon / Harvest Moon / Stardew Valley / Ooblets combo punch of a game I LOVE YOU
WATERING CAN NOSE GUY I LOVE YOU
IT DROPS IN MY BIRTHDAY MONTH GUYS
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD
I'm sorry everyone but I hate monkeys and apes and I don't like Donkey Kong or anything to do with him ;w;
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake
INSTANTLY IN LOVE WITH VISUALS FOR THIS. I AUDIBLY GASPED SEEING THEM AND SENT MY BOYFRIEND INTO A FIT OF GIGGLES
In a perfect world, all HD remakes of 2D games would look like this photo-bashing beauty instead of uncute 3D adaptations (side-eyes the Diamond and Pearl remakes)
I think I might enter the series with this game, or maybe 1 or 2 when they launch. I LOVE THE VISUALS.
Funko Fusion
Exclaiming that I hate this game and then listening in shock and horror as my boyfriend tells me there's two or three other Funko Pop games on Switch
Bonding over our shared distaste for Funk Pops with my boyfriend right now. This is true romance.
Luigi's Mansion 2 HD
Seeing the tagline "Spooky, Silly, and Strategic" and PRAYING it's the Luigi's Mansion 2 HD's launch trailer
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
The New Denpa Men
Got jumpscared by the Denpa Men character and immediately fell in love.
Unironically adore the character design of Denpa Men. I gotta get this thing.
Metal Slug Attack Reloaded
I'd rather play Battle Cats. Sorry guys.
Darkest Dungeon II
I have no words, only polite applause as I wait for the next drop to enthrall me.
Switch Online Expansion Pack
I miss the Four Swords companion manga!!!!! I loved that thing!!!!!!
"AND" says the announcer, followed by a black screen and dead silence, causing me to burst into laughter.
Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero
*gets yeeted offscreen* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA---
I like the eye designs in this! Very fun!
Marvel VS. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics
My dreams of learning a fighting game and getting really good at it... they are returning........ I gotta main Peach on Smash Bros...........
Learning about fighting games and the concept of infinites from my boyfriend and feeling myself wither at the realization it's just a matter of reaching your infinite before your opponent in order to win.

Learning about the legacy of Mario Party 4 from Boyfriend and I'm utterly enraptured
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
THE LEGEND OF LINK EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I finally can play Zelda for the first time since Spirit Tracks!!!! And it'll be for realsies this time!!!!!
I LOVE THIS GUY I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS GUY I WAS GENUINELY SPEECHLESS WHEN I SAW THIS GUY I LOVE YOU LITTLE GUY I LOVE YOU
I'm playing this game for Tri oh my word. The gameplay mechanics are amazing but Tri is the number one reason I'm gonna play and fall in love with this game
I love how this game is so much more strategic than straight-up combat focused!!!! We're playing Zelda mode lads!!!!
Putting September 26 on my calendar POST-HASTE
Just Dance 2025

WOO 2023
Lets talk about my top 10 films that came out in 2022! I watched a lot of films last year!
1. Everything everywhere all at once
I could write essays on this movie but putting it simply I watched this film in theatres 5 times. There was nothing in this movie that dissapointed me. Its an incredible example of nihilism vs existentialism and I cried 3/5 times i saw it. I now own it on dvd.
2. Bullet train
Bullet train I saw ever so slightly less coming in at 4 cinema visits! Fantastic visuals and soundtrack. Wonderful casting and a fabulously written script! One of my favourite examples of a film that is just fun to watch. I'll be honest on the 3rd and 4th time I was a bit bored but theres not as much going on to rewatch as EEAAO.
3. Black panther: Wakanda forever
I started crying and I dont know if I stopped? An incredibly touching tribute to Chadwick Boseman and a heartbreaking reminder of who we've lost. I think this is the best marvel movie since endgame honestly.
4. The unbearable weight of massive talent
Nick Cage is unironically one of my favourite actors and him and pedro pascal have created an amazing piece of media here. It is so funny and thats all it needs to be! Its just 2 guys getting to know eachother. Fair enough theres some action and spy shit going on but with that removed it is just pure fun.
5. NOPE
A slightly controversial one I know, However, I will never get over the wacky inflatable arm tube men. Im not even joking. They are what made me want to see the film in the first place! No but an excellent example of terror vs fear and a perfect film to discuss questions like "how far should you go for the shot" and issues like exploitation of animals.
6. Three thousand years of longing.
First and foremost its Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba enough said. This movie is gorgeous. The cinematography is beautiful and the costumes the makeup the set design the props my word they did not dissapoint! The message of the film is largely isolation but also behind that theres a sense of love is eternal and how much would you do for love. I couldn't recommend this film more.
7. Matilda
Ok this one is the music and choreography for me. It's a fun film and i loce the set design for it. The costume for mrs wormwood is to die for and I want it all. Theres not a huge moral like the others on the list its a good example of what goes around comes around and good prevails. The camerawork is amazing too.
8. The Menu
Everyone in this film is an awful person EXCEPT Anya Taylor Joy's Character and I live for it. The pacing is wonderful, the camerawork again fantastic and the characterisation!!! There is so much tension and it keeps building until you reach the climax its a wonderful. I like to think the film is about anti capitalism and the death of creatives due to the preassure of critics.
9. The banshees of inisherin
My favourite type of media is where nothing happens but SO MUCH happens. (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead is a wonderful example of this) and Banshees is an amazing example of that. At its core its about loss and lobelyness. Plus It has a RELATIVELY ACCURATE autistic character and thats my favourite part.
10. Don't worry darling
DON'T BOO ME DON'T YOU DARE. OK I ENJOYED IT. SOMEONE HAD TO! HARRY'S ACTING WASN'T EVEN THAT BAD YES IT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER BUT THERE WAS SO MUCH SHIT GOING ON CAN YOU BLAME HIM! plus I was living for the drama of DWD and no it was not at all about feminism or the female orgasm but it was about control and it was a fantastic film to showcase that.
Honorable mentions go to:
Where the crawdads sing, Batman, The bad guys, Sing 2, violent night, JJK:0, Multiverse of madness.
Thor does not get an honorable mention and I will not see avatar 2 because I want it to flop.
#2022#movies#cinema#this is my opinion#tag me with your own!#I watched a lot this year this is a small snippet#marvel#black panther wakanda forever#everything everywhere all the time#everything everywhere all at once#bullettrain#the unbearable weight of massive talent#nope film#jordan peele#matilda#matilda the musical#matilda 2022#the menu#three thousand years of longing#the banshees of inisherin#dont worry darling

Skyfall is a good movie. Frankly, all the Daniel Craig bond films leading up to it were good movies. Pivoting from the 06 Casino Royale’s re-contextualization of spies in the post-9/11 geopolitical landscape, Skyfall is about the consequences of the wars we fought before and the mistakes that came back to haunt us following the actions we took in those wars.
Skyfall was released in 2012, 11 years after the twin towers fell and 9 years after the 03 invasion of Iraq. We’d killed Bin Laden and now had to deal with ISIL, who’d not yet bombed the Ariana Grande concert but had at this point grown in power as a result of the US invasion in 03. Setting up the villain of the film (and his horrific disfigurement) as directly the result of MI6 decisionmaking only for him to come back and blow up MI6′s iconic HQ is evidence enough that Skyfall is a retrospective on a decade of war on terror that seems to have done nothing.
There are no better ways to show how tired and old Bond (and the empire he represents) is than to have him fail his fitness tests while in Winston Churchill’s old bunker. A waning icon of a waning empire in the decrepit remains of said empire. It’s a perfect exploration of the intersection of postcolonialism and the war on terror.
Given that the last Daniel Craig film I’d seen before starting Skyfall was Glass Onion, I watched Skyfall with the “I’m so glad that Craig stopped playing Bond so that now he can dress in sweaters in fun movies” criticisms in mind and frankly, I found they fell flat. For one thing, Bond does wear sweaters in this (very fun!) movie (as well as a cute blue adidas tracksuit with matching shoes!), but on top of that I’m starting to realize this criticism of the modern bond franchise (and other films like these) comes from the sort of people who still use the word “grimdark” for their media criticism. Just like those who unironically use “dudebro,” their contributions to serious discussion are limited. Doubly so for Skyfall because this movie is fantastic and balances tone elegantly.
I will admit that Skyfall takes a serious tone when addressing things like “the fall of the 20th century western imperialist old guard” and “thematic explorations of the war on terror and the mistakes of those gambling with the lives of millions” (If you were to try and write those into something finally similar to Trolls 2 it’d be difficult though not impossible) but I will argue that the movie is still self aware enough to understand itself as a pulpy adventure film.
This isn’t Moonraker or anything, but Skyfall is self aware enough to know what beats to hit. The villain monologues and then challenges Bond to a flintlock pistol shooting match. They keep the main bad guy in a dorky sci-fi glass prison cell. The action finale has goons (did I mention that there are goons?) showing up in a helicopter to attack a castle. They even pull the old DB5 out of mothballs so Bond can threaten the ejection seat trick. Bond fights off an evil lizard in a casino at one point. Imagine the movie in 60s Technicolor and the bones of the plot are just as camp as Goldfinger.
The movie is clearly self-aware and plays into the campier story conventions of a genre the franchise it belongs to basically started. It just doesn’t have characters shrug and go “*gulp* he’s behind me isn’t he?” Instead of lampshading the more ridiculous aspects of pulp characters from the 60s and 70s, Skyfall is so darn earnest about how cool these are. It’s self aware yet charming in its seriousness! (Jots down “James Bond Skyfall = Solarpunk?” into margin of notebook and is never heard from again)
Movies like Captain Marvel can’t say the same, and only half of that is because you can’t write a critique of Bush and Obama era imperialism while also shilling for the USAF. It’s because they can’t be serious in their ridiculousness that they end up being less campy (ashamed of truly trying) and less adult (too silly to take seriously) and ultimately less fun than movies like Skyfall.
That’s ultimately what Skyfall is. A Pulpy country-hopping spy flick about modern spies operating in shadows that are getting more cynical with every conflict. It’s not Dr. No but it’s immense fun that explores themes few other franchises are tackling these days. That’s worth a lot more than whatever Ryan Reynolds/The Rock spy film is dealing these days. And Daniel Craig got to wear a dark powder blue tracksuit too.

Tag Games
@beebee-76 tagged me for my 10 Comfort Movies! Thank you so much for the opportunity to share faves with y'all this evening!
1.
To the surprise of no one, I have to put Star Wars at the top of this list, Return of the Jedi in particular. It's my fave of the three, and always welcome on my TV.
2.
Anyone who knows me knows I'm an insane and devoted Godzilla fan, so pretty much any Godzilla movie is a comfort movie, with Showa-era Godzilla my go-to. Godzilla vs. Hedorah (or Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster, as it was called when I first saw it) is probably top of that list.
3.
youtube
I don't have words for how happy this musical makes me. Just watch um...from 10:25, that song and the choreography, showmanship, and sheer joie de vivre. It's a beautiful beautiful thing.
4.
I love him. Predator, folks, is one of my comfort movies. A masterpiece of genre filmmaking that transcends each one it tackles (sci-fi, horror, action). RIP Kevin Peter Hall.
5.
The Lost Boys. Forever a fave.
6.
The Red Violin. A heartbreaking, perfect film with music that elevates your soul.
7.
Very often and repeatedly, Jareth. 😍
8.
youtube
I have always loved Fred MacMurray, in everything from Double Indemnity to Flubber, but let it be known that nothing is as pure, as perfect, as his sentimental performance as a Scoutmaster in Disney's overlooked film Follow Me Boys. It's a holiday tradition in our house. (And YES that is baby Kurt Russell!)
9.
I love Furious 7 with a devoted and enduring passion that would make the gods envious. THIS IS A PRACTICAL EFFECT FOLKS! THEY REALLY DID THIS! James Wan understood the assignment.
10.
I would put the entire LOTR saga as one, but again, if forced to choose, let's go with the grand finale. I love everything about it, but most of all, like Star Wars, we have heroes who triumph over evil, and are rewarded with a happy ever after (not without scars, but nonetheless). There is still good in this world, and the unironic sincerity of filmmakers like George Lucas and Peter Jackson will forever be a comfort to me.
#thanks for the tag!#lotr#predator#the red violin#robin des bois#furious 7#godzilla#labyrinth#the lost boys#follow me boys#movies#my thoughts#this was fun

Danger Days - Part 2
Save Yourself - one of my favorites from Danger Days, definitely my favorite Danger Days intro, that simple opening melody is just so perfect, and then the lyrics, god the lyrics, every single line fucks so hard, and they’re arguably some of the best Gerard ever wrote, this song is just everything distilled: the anger and resentment while still being catchy and fun, the raw cynicism paired with the will and determination to live and care for others, the martyr complex in full force with contemplations on legacy and immortality, the song is just screaming “I’ll die for you! I’ll die for you!”, as a fuck you to the media and those who commodified their suffering and the suffering of their fans, and as a promise to their fans, I’ll protect you, I’ll die for you, I’ll die for you, and isn’t that the message underlying all of Danger Days and Conventional Weapons, christ, and then how legacy is tied into it: “We’re never leaving this place alive / But if we sing these words we’ll never die”, “We can live forever if you’ve got the time”, “This ain’t about all the friends you’ve made / but the graffiti they write on your grave”, when making and joining a band saved your life but then spiraled out of control and fame threatened to tear you apart again but the very thing that’s killing you is also your legacy and the reason you will never die because you will always be remembered and hated and loved, and what kills you keeps you alive, the poison is the cure, oh my god, I don’t know if any of this is coherent, I love this song so fucking much
Scarecrow - on the surface one of the happier songs MCR ever wrote, but stupidly devastating when you really listen to the lyrics and learn about the context and deeper meaning, still such a bright, summery, comforting song, one of the most important Danger Days songs I would argue, especially the lyric “Love won’t stop this bomb” (3:07), which is one of the central themes on this record, and as a follow up to save yourself, the repetition of the idea that the end is inevitable and they’re going to die, but instead of anger, scarecrow is more about comfort, it feels like a love letter to their fans, the band still acting as martyrs but focusing more on the listener: “He burns my skin / Never mind about the shape I’m in / I’ll keep you safe tonight”, and knowing that love won’t change anything, but caring anyway, man, maybe Geoff Rickly is right
Summertime - a great transition from Scarecrow by keeping the cheerier sound but actually making it joyful through some truly tender and sweet lyrics, it’s so sappy, almost excessively so, but there’s something so pure and genuine about it, which I think is one of Gerard’s greatest strengths as a writer and a singer, to be able to write very simple lines that would otherwise sound cheesy and phony (think Famous Last Words “I am not afraid to keep on living / I am not afraid to walk this world alone”) but delivering them in way that feels so honest and resolute and making you believe everything they say, it’s also interesting how unabashedly positive it is considering the darkness and anger or bittersweet melancholy that seems to accompany joy everywhere else on this album, Summertime becomes a breath of fresh air
Destroya - completely unironically my favorite Danger Days song, actually the first I heard other than Na Na Na, it fucks so hard, I always have to sing along with the chorus, it’s just so infectious, and the drums, man, it’s one of the most aggressive and powerful sounding songs on the album, and there’s something hypnotically and subversively menacing about it, especially how it was performed live in 2022 with Gerard growling and screaming with demonic vocal distortion, it sounds like a kind of battle cry, which is part of why the extended moaning sections are such a bold and unique choice, but it works in a weird way, at least once you know to expect it (and it’s not live and Frank isn’t genuinely whimpered and groaning on stage sir this is an all ages show), it’s just so angry and weird and fucked up and incredible, and it has some of my all time favorite Danger Days lyrics like “If what you are / is just what you own / What have you become / when they take from you / almost everything?”, which is a brilliant line that ties into the themes of criticizing commodification and consumerism found on Conventional Weapons and Danger Days, also “You don’t believe in God / I don’t believe in luck / They don’t believe in us / But I believe we’re the enemy” is such a raw line, god it’s such a great song, fuck anyone who just reduces it to just the “horny” song
Kids from Yesterday - probably of one the best songs on the album, especially how they performed it live in 2022 and 2023 with the extended outro (Ray Toro what the fuck is wrong with you this is devastating), it’s so bittersweet and nostalgic and just brimming with love, they always describe it as a song for themselves and you can really hear and see the joy and love among them when they perform it, while other songs feel like promises to the audience, Kids feels like a promise to each other, “I love you. I love you. I will always love you”, it’s so fucked up, “I’ll find you when the sun goes black”, unforgiveable, and it���s also interesting how they revisit legacy as a theme (”You only live forever in the lights you make” is one of my favorite lines in the entire album) and discuss many of the same struggles of fame as other songs, but do so in a far less angry way, it puts less focus on the band as a single entity to be exploited, revered, and hated and more focus on the individuals and how their legacy relates to them as people and their connections with one another, god, it’s just such a stunning song, wish I could listen to it more but I literally can’t handle it
Goodnite, Dr. Death - I really like the radio transmission at the beginning, but I usually skip this one because I don’t feel the need to listen to the American national anthem on the regular, especially not with the very painful (cool sounding, but painful) jumpscare at the end, that being said, it might be favorite of Dr. Death Defying’s interludes, because it’s much calmer and more muted, almost soothing, but disturbing at the same time with how casually death is warned against in an address to children, really adds to the world building, and “Even if you’re dusted, you may be gone, but out here in the desert, your shadow lives on without you” is such a cool line
Vampire Money - so fucking funny, I don’t even know what to say, the iconic roll call intro and countdown followed immediately by the deeply poetic line “We came to fuck”, the fact that it was changed to “We came to suck” in the clean version, the fact that Frank says “Oh I’m there baby” sounding like he’s talking about sex rather than playing music, which he has never once (at least to my knowledge) properly said live and even refuses to acknowledge, the way the whole song is making fun of how people latched onto and then commodified their vampire symbolism and aesthetic early on, and specifically being asked to write a song for the twilight movies, god, I love how they’re so aware of and continuously willing to poke fun at how they’ve been portrayed and perceived over the years, and I also love how malleable this song is live, changing lyrics in little ways every time they perform it, another great example of Danger Days songs being best live

yknow as much as the (deserved) inazuma backlash has clearly changed hoyos writing for the better i do think there v much is one completely wrong lesson theyve taken from it and thats incorporating story quests into the AQ sequence (and specifically how theyve never attempted it again)
the concept itself was Never inherently bad. in fact it unironically has a ton of potential bc you could lessen the need for sudden character specific exposition in the AQ AND pull off way more high-stakes and timeline-specific plotlines in the SQs by ensuring players will experience it at the intended place and time.
the issue was that they introduced a bleak depressing inazuma in the middle of a fucking civil war and then went omg AQ on pause!!! lets go to a festival with ayaka and u will be her first friend ever OwO yoimiyas is at least vastly better written and actually involves the VH and sakoku decrees so its always been a favorite of mine but even then im sure theres things worth criticism in there its just been 2 years so i cant analyze it off the top of my head. but the greatest offender has always been the way ayakas comes with such a complete tonal dissonance it just takes you out of the atmosphere they spent the entire act I building up.
and it rly makes me sad bc i Know hoyo took the backlash about interrupted pacing and disjointed tone as "ok story quests bad as AQ requirements" when its like. no the one you wrote just sucked
AQ incorporated story quests need to have a damn good reason to be mandatory at that specific point and while its far from perfect i DO think yoimiyas fulfills that! but ayakas doesnt! at all! and like im realizing the issue is also in how genshins made it a standard that a character must receive a story quest Instantly on release. so i guess ayakas had to be in between acts I and II for plot reasons but like. that being the case then the story quest itself shouldve focused on a completely different theme as opposed to her very predictable tropey personal problems that werent even explored properly imo. like im sure plenty of depth and nuance in her characterization was lost in translation but i almost cry laughed the first time the restaurant vendor went "oh ayaka is lonely because she is so perfect that no one sees her as a friend but instead an aspiration" like what in the 3rd grader writing mary sue self insert fic tarnation 💀 you couldve worded that exact same concept in 12 different ways to make it actually sound poignant and you did That SHAHSKSJSKDLJH
(and a quick addition before i get accused of being a blind hater hater lmao. here goes: "the burdens of miss ayakas position as the public face of the kamisato make it difficult for her to shed the mask of practiced perfection. i think people struggle to see her as a person whod enjoy simple things in life like friendship just like everyone else when theyre so used to viewing her as an unreachable figurehead." there. now its way more clearly nuanced. this took me 3 minutes and is far from any fluid writing yet. the difference is staggering)
but like. as a result this ambiguous timeline limbo most story quests end up falling into is genuinely a shame bc i do think theres potential in attempting the ayaka n yoi thing again but with characters for whom it makes sense and actually enhances the AQ experience by necessitating it. and yeah yeah ik genshin wants to be casual friendly so they dont want to force ppl to do quests they dont like for AQ so its unrealistic to expect them to ever try it out again but man
as long as they pick the right place and time and characters for it they could massively alleviate the issue of some story quests contents ending up feeling like somewhat empty fluff bc they cant assume what point a player will be in the main plot could be so they lack actually impactful lore and or character beats.
obviously im not a writer at hoyo and idk how much backlash the ayaya/yoi situation got them but like. idk. taking the lesson "never do anything like inazuma again" isnt rly what id consider the full picture. inazuma does suck and has clunky moments throughout but like in 2.0 people were still hype! inazuma had good ideas and concepts and attempted sth that couldve been great the issue isnt inazuma bad on all levels its that they never delivered its potential and 2.1 was an incredible letdown.
#like idk i dont want to assume but. i Daresay of recent quests. neuvillettes SQ will NOT hit the same if its not in between acts 4 and 5#it does SO MUCH to expand on his character and relationship to fontaine and humanity and as a result act 5 emotional climax hits so hard#bc youve literally Been there seeing him retrospect on the way he and the melusines have gone from distrusted outsiders#to beloved members of the community. like hes super well written in the AQ either way but witnessimg that growth does sooo much for him#& adds weight to his ultimate choice to forgive the original sin of fontaines people. but played post act 5 idk if will hit the same at all#its still gonna be good im sure but. it was so scrumptious in between acts 4 and 5#anywau. idk i just think more charaxters could get expanded moments and interesting dynamic stories#if this option of an AQ tied story quest was utilized well#thats all its just my thoughts in here. bouncing in my skull. slappimg together like fish in a barrel#genshin#rambles

If there comes a Sherlock-esque fic for BoB... Who would be Sherlock and Watson between
1. Lewis Nixon and Dick Winters
2. Carwood Lipton and Ron Speirs
3. David Webster and Joe Liebgott
And what kind of Sherlock and Watson on each ship.
I love how this is worded like you're running a survey for an upcoming fic you're making anon HAHAHAHHAA are you 👀👀👀👀??? I'll be keeping my eyes peeled.
1) Winnix
Lew is Sherlock of course. It's the addictive personality. You could probably do something very Elementary-esque with this one, and have Dick come into his life as his sponsor. People forget that in-canon, Lew may have been lazy but he was brilliant, a damn fine intelligence officer, and Dick himself said that. The only thing you're gonna have to explain away is his laziness and his motives for wanting cases.
I guess you just have to also remember that every iteration of Sherlock Holmes is always driven by a search for the truth. Not justice, mind you, though that's my personal interpretation of the character. I prefer my Sherlocks to operate outside of the scope of Lawful Good, and I think Lew's iteration of him would, too. Which I think would be perfect for a Sherlock Holmes!Lewis Nixon iteration, because something about him just SCREAMS chaos. And also his upbringing would lend that world view some credence.
Literally, I could see him as the embodiment of "I'm of the opinion that people shouldn't go to jail for objectively funny crimes." Which would clash with Dick's sense of justice nicely, especially if you'd like some commentary, in text, about police brutality and the failures of the justice system. They would clash, with Dick being an ex-military man and Lew being... whatever he is. But I also think Dick becomes kinda blind to Lew's shortcomings, I mean. He always has. He's definitely the kind of Watson who thinks, unironically, that Nix is the smartest person in the room. And Dick's blind faith in him could probably pull Nix out of the grave he's found himself dug into. He would always want to be the type of man who deserves someone like Dick Winters. WHICH now that I think about it, would be a VERY interesting motivation for him to solve mysteries, as it were.
2) Speirton
Ronald Speirs. And this Sherlock WOULD be a cop. Lmao, sorry Ron, but like even in canon Ron is following rules to a tee because that's how he sees the world and that's how he knows, for sure, that he's going to keep the people he cares about safe. That's why his reactions to Carver was a big thing right? I've already said it before, but his sudden deviance from order and chain of command in episode 10 (when in all the other episodes the worst he'd been doing was stealing) was his whole breakdown and an illustration of how the war was capable of fucking even his unerring moral compass/alignment. But I digress.
His Sherlock would be a cop. I say that with as much love in the world as I could (lmao ACAB amirite). If Lewis' Sherlock was anti-copaganda, Ron's would be copaganda the likes of Law-&-Order. You could go down that road too and make Lip like... the ADA who thinks he's brilliant, despite how unorthodox his methods may be, and works hard to transcribe Ron's deductions into something that could feasibly hold up in court. Ya know? Have fun with it!
3) Webgott
David Webster. And this Sherlock is AUTISTIC as they all fucking come. He's a disaster. His morbid curiousity gets him off the wrong foot with everyone he meets. He's an asshole. His flat is a disaster only he can navigate. He has body parts in his fridge. Dangerous chemicals in his cupboards. He is the embodiment of every picked upon nerd in high school except he is a grown ass man with a PhD under his belt. He's an anarchist but he was also raised rich. He doesn't like to do his own dishes because he touched wet food once and it sent him into sensory overload so bad he switched all his plates to disposable ones.
In contrast, Joe's Watson would be much like the Watson from that russian Sherlock Holmes-- no not the 1980 version, the 2013 one, where Sherlock is a nerd with glasses and there's an emphasis on Watson's POV and his motivations as someone who is a doctor AND a soldier. It was really interesting, actually, and you should give it a watch! Anyway, Joe's Watson is definitely a fighter. You will not forget his Army background. You will not forget that this man has seen Horrors. You will not forget that this man is brilliant, too, just in different ways. He sees things Web misses, but he also gives credit to Web where credit is due. However begrudgingly he might do it.
Their coupling would be like two sides of a coin, or two puzzle pieces, I think, but they'd have a rough start. Web's too arrogant, Joe's too tightly wound. They fight a lot, because Web's been alone for so long that he's forgotten to share, forgotten how to articulate himself well enough for another person to understand-- but that's the thing. Joe Knows him in ways Web thought he'd been above wanting. Web doesn't quite understand Joe, but the fact that he's so willing to try despite being so difficult, previously, is not lost on Joe, either. They both say trust is difficult for them to cultivate but they trust each other explicitly, almost as soon as they meet each other-- which annoys them to no end. They literally DO NOT want to think about how quickly the other has become their ride and die because they'd rather bitch about it than have any self-reflection, bless them. But you can't deny that their Old Married Couple vibes is there from the beginning.
Their Final Problem would be devastating. Just saying.

Top 3 kpop mvs from the 2000s
hey!! thank you so much [: this got long, so without further ado...
1. bigbang, haru haru.
it's literally this and then [BRICK WALL] like, this music video literally changed the trajectory of kpop, it became a viral moment that lasted until, like, 2010. it catapulted bigbang to international stardom. i desperately cannot stress enough how this music video and song is a moment, and a high, that kpop is still chasing to this day and that they might never reach again. absolutely, purely organic genius. the brilliance of haru haru is how absolutely earnest it is with its very own melodrama. the acting. the conflict. oh my god, that story line. this is maybe the greatest kpop music video ever, just because it is impossible to replicate now. this changed lives. it did a lot to put kpop on the map. and it is just perfect as it is, and as a time capsule. i watched this approximately 3655467287 times in 2010 alone. i think people who know how iconic and influential bigbang are only ever choose fantastic baby or bang bang bang as examples, but haru haru is what turned them into yg's biggest superstars before inflated numbers, streams, etc. it's hard to explain if you weren't there, to be honest. on another note, i am pretty sure that gtop fight was my gay awakening, lol. another bigbang entry that just missed the mark because it was released in 2010: tell me goodbye. literally a masterpiece. narrative! CINEMATOGRAPHY! that top verse i can still recite word for word! a perfect marriage of everything that makes japanese kpop offerings impeccable. i carried a picture of that gdragon in my school diary until i graduated high school, lol. (choices, i know)
2. 2pm, heartbeat
i wanted to go with mirotic first, but i think heartbeat did the same things done in mirotic, just better. first of all, this music video does not rely on any narrative or any gimmicks, and it is still so well done. the angles and camera pans here, the obstructed shots, the lens flares. the contrast between the industrial gray and the eery, hollow white set. that choreography. this is so purely, undistilled 2nd gen kpop but in, like, a gothic fantasia. the atmosphere of this video is almost creepy which serves the song perfectly, and it is carried by performance, lights, and camera alone. i would have almost chosen again&again, because it does have a story line, but i actually think heartbeat's directive choices are so much better, and far superior. it is such an interesting music video just because how it is shot in a way that makes it visually appealing while simultaneously a little off-kilter. amazing. no notes. 100000/10 beast is not here, by the way, because if i would have chosen anything, it would have been shock, but heartbeat is once again the better offering of a similar style.
3. g-dragon, heartbreaker
one more masterclass. i am sorry, but this is another one of those insane offerings. the production design here is off the charts, the checkerboard heart eye-make up and bleached hair immediately became a signature hallmark look, the choreography is so memorable yet perfectly in sync with g-dragon's artistic persona. this music video felt insanely expensive back in 2009, and deviated from the nitty-gritty of that era. it was colorful, catchy, and immediately, insanely recognizable. replay factor? through the roof, especially with that breathe teaser making it a two-piece. also, the apple imagery was just another stroke of genius. like, this felt like watching a superstar emerge into the scene with that intro. "I'm all by myself, but it's all good," like yeah, sure, is this cringy as hell? absolutely. could anyone else pull this off in the year of our lord 2024? never, but it works perfectly here. the sci-fi influences. the masked dancers. oh my god. we will never have something this earnest, unironic, serious and yet glossy and campy.
3. shinee, ring ding dong
did you really think you would not find shinee here? c'mon now. what is there to say about this music video that hasn't been said yet. the wings. the choreography that the entirety of korea knows by heart. this made shinee my instant ults, my instant biases. dancing in the water!!! the concise color palette, the grays and reds, the hairstyles getting progressively more disheveled. watching jonghyun in this music video for the first time (and to this day) was like watching a miracle appear right in front of your eyes, that sort of gravitas and charisma is rare to come by and i am afraid there will never be anyone else quite like that. truly, one of a kind and just an insane moment in time to live through. how, in a way, unpolished this music video and their performance is is precisely why it is one of the greatest things ever. you can literally see them launching straight into their stage and performance genius from this. it's so crazy. this is like watching history being written, which is why it is one of the best kpop mvs of that decade.
honorable mention: sorry sorry by super junior. a perfectly slick, chrome fever dream that could be a commercial for all i know. i am sorry (hah) but when this song comes on, every ounce of, like, common sense leaves my body and i am stuck in this 4:17 true kpop marvel. it is just perfect. the production of this music video and this song. the aspect ratio (slay). the black and white. that tastefully measured autotune because suju has like maybe 3 decent vocalists. the group choreography shots look tight as hell, especially at the end. the last 15 seconds of this music video look just. fucking amazing. sorry, yeah, it had to be here.
ask me my top 3 anything, kpop edition 💌

10 Favorite Movies
I was tagged by @myfavouritelunatic thank you 🩶🩵💜
Yes, these are in order.
10. Highlander
"There Can Only Be One!!!" This movie is definitely not for everyone. But I still love to force my closest friends to sit through it lol. I love it for the camp and insane lore and Sean Connery just giving the worst performance of his life 😆
9. A Little Princess (1995)
I genuinely, unironically love this movie and have since I was a little kid. So heartwarming and breaking. It's a bit dated but still really beautiful in cinematography and music.
8. Stardust
Another long-time love of mine. This movie inspired me so much as a kid. All of the performances are amazing. And, as I have mentioned elsewhere, this is Robert De Niro's best performance.
7. The Prince of Egypt
Pretty sure most of the tumblr girlies already love this one. The art, the music, the voice performances (specifically Ralph Fiennes) are all beyond perfect.
6. A Knight's Tale
This was my sister's favorite movie when I was a kid. I've seen this so many times. Hundreds probably. I don't care what the nerds say, the music ELEVATES this film. And it's just a great story!
5. Gladiator
This is probably "technically" the best film on this list. And yeah, it's fucking iconic for a reason. I also really really like it. Go watch it.
4. The Princess Bride
I have been told there are people out there who don't like this movie. I do not understand these people. This movie is so clever and fun! I have every word memorized!
3. The Two Towers
This is my place holder for all of LotR. I didn't want the series to take up three spots. But I'm also coming out as a "The Two Towers is the superior film in the trilogy" truther.
2. Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Once again, pretty sure most of the tumblr girlies love this. And I've also seen this one so much I have the whole thing memorized. I cannot understate the formative effect this film had on me.
1. The Northman
This is an interesting one for me. I do not add to my canon of favorite films lightly or very often. Pride and Prejudice had been my favorite movie for fifteen years. But when I saw this in theaters a year ago, I was blown away. I felt like this movie was made specifically for me. I've watched it three more times and keep noticing new details each time. I don't know if it will remain in the #1 spot forever. But it's been a year and I haven't changed my mind yet.
Tagging (without pressure):
@coraleethroughthelookingglass @ambrosia-salads @demonscantgothere @helenvader @klynnvakarian @rebelrebelwrites @restless-tides @emarasmoak @haladriel @princessfantaghiro

(Camp unplug) Drew Gooden X Afab!reader smut
Warnings: fingering, hand kink, smut, cursing, mentions of weed
Summary: Drew realises y/n was staring and finger fucks them
————————————————————
you sat at the end of a rocky ledge that just hung over the edge of the river below, your legs hanging over it as you sketched the scenery. knowing I’d most likely have all day to finish it, you took your time trying to perfect the most minuscule of details. you suddenly heard the crack of a twig behind me.
“Kody?” you assumed it was him due to the fact he’d usually come out here to “have the camp special” as he called it “swamp leaf” which basically meant to get high as balls and have me basically drag him back to the campsite. “If you’ve got weed I better get some for compensation for dealing with your bull-“ you turned around not to see kody but to see- “Drew?”
“O-oh I’m sorry was I disturbing you? I’ll leave if you want-“ he immediately started apologising but you cut him off.
“No! It’s fine, come sit if you want” you patted the area next to me, he walked over and sat down awkwardly. “So whatcha been doing to pass the time?” you asked trying to spark up a conversation
“Well I’ve mainly been getting dragged around by Danny to do the most absurd shit for scout badges… but besides that nothing much” he responded looking forwards into the scenery, looking at him closer up you started noticing how… handsome he was? Is that the right word? His sharp jawline, slightly scruffy, dirty blonde hair, the small graze on his knee and the cut in the middle of his nose, both covered up by kiddie bandaids that barely absorbed enough blood to be useful, his hands were slender and defined… fingers long enough to- shit shit shit shit shit! Why was you thinking like this?
“I-I’ve just been drawing and… smoking weed with kody” you snap out of my mini zone out to continue the conversation.
“Were you staring at me?” Drew side eyed me smirking slightly, you went to defend yourself but Drew cut you off “it’s okay if you were, I don’t mind” he slipped his hand closer to my thigh, his slender hands grazing my skin lightly causing me to let out a small whimper.
“Drew-“ you gasped as his hand trailed to your inner thigh as you hugged your sketchbook tight, resisting any noises your mouth wanted to make to indicate pleasure.
“So that’s a yes?” His hand was now between your legs grazing right over the… wetness between your thighs, you let out another small whimper, a dark shade of crimson falling over your face. “Words sweetheart. Words.”
“Y-yes…” you hissed out
“Good.” He slips his hand into your pants. It is all the confirmation he needs before his fingers slip through the fabri, past the wet folds, slipping all the way inside. No warning. No preparation. The wetness gathered at your core is just completely unholy and in the far distance you can hear some other campers muffled arguing. You’re whimpering and he's rubbing your clit with his thumb while his index and middle finger ram into me unceremoniously.
you begin to grind against his fingers, urging him along with your orgasm feeling far too close. "Fuck..." He exclaims with a chuckle in a light dorky way that you unironically love. His eyes clear and he looks down at your shivering body. He jumps out of his reverie and mutters, "-Of course. S-sorry." He stammers then before he rams his fingers into your cunt with extreme fervour and concentration. His brows furrowed and a tongue sticks out over his top lip in sheer focus. your orgasm rips through me like a knife and you buck helplessly against his fingers but Drew doesn't slow his movements whatsoever.
“Fuck- Drew I- Holy- you’re really-… good at this-“ I struggle to get even one sentence out as his long, slender fingers continue to slam into me rhythmically. Your sketchbook is still secured to your chest tightly by your arms, as for your pencil? Lost about 2 minutes ago fell off the ledge unbeknownst to you.
Drew removed his fingers from your pants, leaving me feeling empty. He stuck his fingers in his mouth, tasting your wetness. “To everyone else this never happened okay?” You sat there completely shocked at what just happened.
“Sure. Whatever you say”
#drew gooden#Drew gooden smut#Drew gooden x reader#camp unplug#woah man that escalated really quickly#oh my god#okay#uhm that’s a bit much#bestie-#oh bestie calm down#YALL JUST MET#Spotify

Hello! I hadn't thought that you'd ponder over my ask for two days, or that other people would join in the discussion, but I'm glad that you all are interested.
Komaeda is an incredibly incoherent and contradictory person. He'd be the perfect unpredictability that Kamukura wants, if anything, he'd find it amusing how Komaeda is instantly smitten by him despite most likely having a complex over real hope vs artifical hope. Long enough into knowing each other, I'm sure that he'll see a true hope within Kamukura that doesn't have to do with his backstory as Hajime or his artifical talents by the teachers. but rather... unconditional adoration for who he is. He'd love the hollow, lobotomized husk of a person Kamukura is because even if Kamukura never acknowledges it himself, he's the only one to accept Komaeda.
I have a whole lot of thoughts about Kamukura that would unironically take up a 10k words essay however, to simplify it i think of Kamukura as someone who feels little but strongly and is never able to express those emotions for this reason or another. Think of Chiaki's death scene in DR3, I'm sure he felt miserable regret and only then were his feelings so overwhelmed that his brain couldn't surpass them. Although i hate DR3 and prefer the idea of purely fictional AI Chiaki, there's good characterization in that scene. Kamukura is a tragic character who has lost all autonomy and agency of himself.
And Komaeda... never had them, because his life has always been ruled by the curse and blessing of his luck. I'm sure they could bond over being the only two people with such broken psyches. I like Kamukoma for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that Kamukura is the perfect ideal personification of Hope for Komaeda and simultaneously the coldest and most painful person to get along with. He'd be in disbelief that such a great and majestic person is talking with him and at the same time unable to accept that that someone is with such a disgusting past of being a reserve course who only became artificially great. And yet...
They share luck. Again, DR3 and that romantic shoujo scene of them. Only with Kamukura could Komaeda live a somewhat normal life. When you think about how in UDG he had been the most chill and sane, it's fun to imagine that specific him with Kamukura who evens the playing field of their luck.
Only with such two broken persons could they find stability and comfort in each other. I'm sure, no matter how complex their feelings are and how they'd be forever unable to classify themselves or how they feel about the other, that they surely mean the most to the other. The number one greatest, most important person to eachother despite everything.
*taking notes* your writing is lovely, thank you so much <3
I think your writing compliments pretty well to @/thekamukuraproject's thoughts on this
I guess, what I learned from y'all's posts is that the core of their relationship is 1) for Komaeda to seek the true hope that resides within Kamukura, and 2) for Kamukura to learn how to assign meanings to his supposedly boring people/things (which hopefully would spark some resemblance of emotion), and that makes their relationship dynamic compelling and beautiful <3.

//TW VENT,MELTDOWNS,RELIGIOUS THEMES,MENTIONS OF DEMONS,OTHERKIN (scary/jk)//
I'm tired and mentally drained
I try my fucking best to be kind.i donate to my school,I help people,I generally care for others but EVERY FUCKING TIME IM SEEN AS THE PROBLEM
Everyday it's "stop trying to make people mad (deadname)" and "stop being such a brat (deadname)" when I don't do anything wrong
I left my room (my cave) to go talk to my sister but she got mad at me for annoying her.my mom yelled at me for trying to make her mad (for the 72828828291911 time) and when she called my grandfather (he lives with us) that was my last fucking straw
I've been through this.everyone gets mad at me,especially my grandfather and I go to my room and I cry silently
But something in me stopped and I just started having a melt down
I was crying alot
Like my face feels dry and my throat hurts after crying
My mom was shocked and shit
She's seen me like this before btw
But I just started getting aggressive and I ran to my room
My mom doesn't believe in privacy so she ran into my room and came to calm me down
Aka:not leaving when I tell her to get out and even when I slam my door on her while begging her to give me peace
Being alone is only way I can get calmed down.if I'm still with someone then I will never stop crying (if you read my book,you might be able to see how me and spark are very similar,surprise!!)
My grandfather came in and I begged and yelled at him on how what he says to me is very rude
He is the main person that yells "stop being rude" "you're being a brat" "why do you aways like making people mad?" "Only demons get like this"
Yesterday it said "that's all you do,is make people mad"
That deeply hurt me
He said (I remember the exact words) "well,it was yesterday so it doesn't matter"
...
Just because that it was yesterday.... does NOT mean that it doesn't matter
I'm just so tired of everything and everyone
Why did I have to be born here,what sin did I do??
I'm aways the problem,I'm sorry for everything
I'm sorry
I'm so fucking sorry
Please forgive me
It's all my fault
I honestly can't take it anymore
Don't get me wrong,I don't wanna die.i don't consider myself su1c1d@l
But I wish I was never born
I actually threw up from crying/srs
I haven't had a meltdown in about 2 years (i think)
You know what?I'm aways the problem.it will always be my fault.i will never be able to do anything right.i have aways been a shitface.i am a waste of space.i was born something (mitski reference) and that something is evil
I fully and unironically believe I am a demon
Demonkin basically
Sorry if this sounds weird but I wanna get this out of my head.(reminder to support your local otherkin)
I am a demon (well,fallen angel)
I used to be so sweet kind but I turn evil really
In an idiot and evil
Nothing but a evil person who likes to cause harm
I believe I am the reincarnation of the devil/srs
It may not make sense to you but it makes sense to me
I am not...human
Once again:I'm sorry if this comes off as weird
but we all die.we will all fucking die.we will all parish
Why fucking care about a 14 year old with "perfect mental health" who identities as a demon
Anyways,I'm going to go draw.thanks for reading :D
