#watch nerd shit

[bonesandpoemsandflowers]

just found out that citizen, the watch brand that has the best solar tech in the whole market, has a downscale sub-brand of CUTE and fun swatch-like watches that are, again, CUTE, and also CHEAP! and use the same eco drive solar tech and I am foaming at the mouth and THESE ARE SOLD IN JAPAN ONLY????

yknow what really gets me? the fact that we all seem to think that robin doesn’t enjoy jock things. while she’s canonically seen enjoying and cheering at the basketball game in s4 and more importantly, SHE PLAYS SOCCER!!!! she literally says so in s3?!!!! don’t come at me with your “robin is a music nerd ONLY” because she’s so much more than that!! and we should explore soccer player robin in fics bc i’m pretty sure whoever you ship her with will have an aneurysm watching her play soccer

went a little nuts and made a batman au joker and got really invested. i dont even go here.

in short, it's one of the morality switcheroo kinds, so bats is a "villain" (gone full crime eradication mode and stamped out any empathy. bruce has like. taken over gotham and keeps funding cops and surveillance.) and joker's a..... well. hes not a hero but he is here to ruin a billionaire's day and well if he ends up helping people out so be it. He's just a scrungly little guy and that's everyone else's problem.

I'm watching "Kung Fu Panda 4" for the first time and feeling a little "???" about the way that this plot is structured and the pacing so far. It opens with Shifu urging Po to choose the NEXT Dragon Warrior, because Po apparently needs a ready replacement, and he organizes some show where Po is supposed to pick between a bunch of unnamed martial arts masters we've never seen before? Unclear whether or not these random people have any connection to the Jade Palace whatsoever.

And obviously, this showing didn't work out, and Po is presumably going to find his replacement (or a student) somewhere else later in the movie. Someone "untraditional" and "unexpected" like Po himself was in a way, probably. (The fox, I'm guessing.) But it was funny how Shifu started talking about how "Po needs to choose a replacement" and both me (waist-deep in Scum Villain fandom for years) and the person I'm watching with (reads SO much manhua and manga) tilted our heads like confused dogs. Usually, the next master is someone who has risen through the ranks over time; who are these randos?

The obvious "next step" plotline for Po here is to have him take his own students??? Shifu should be urging Po to take his next step as a master by taking his own students, like a parent insisting on grandchildren. Po can doubt his capabilities as a teacher and struggle with his new students' individual personalities and troubles, reflecting on his relationships with his own father figures (adoptive goose dad, Shifu, his estranged panda father), while trying to face the new villain of this movie. I'm just surprised they're not going in that direction if they're talking about Po finding his "replacement".

So far, the writing for this movie feels very... episodic in style. Like it was made to be a 4-parter for that television show they made? Not... bad. Just... quickly paced and a little shallow, emotionally, so far.

help i’ve fallen for another ship comprised of two insane autistic queers that want each other dead despite also being willing to do literally anything for the other even at risk to themselves

After spending so much time watching dimension 20 I seriously don’t think I’ll ever be able to tolerate regular tv. My little gay heart has never seen this kind of queer representation in tv and it is nourishing my soul. And queerness is never the butt of any joke and the characters experiencing and figuring out their sexualities isn’t always sad and dramatic.

I have never related to something so much. This silly show of just a bunch of cool actor friends playing D&D has probably changed my life: I feel like I know who I am better now???

I am eternally grateful to Brennan Lee Mulligan and literally every person involved in Dimension 20 for giving us this show and this outlet to figure ourselves out. Also gonna be eternally annoyed with Dimension 20 every time I have to watch a straight romcom - give me gay wizards and fairies and candy people any day

It's amusing to me how much of a joyless hag Avery is. Like she's unable to enjoy anything (movies, games, music etc) except being the best at work and the wealth and power that comes with it. Even when she pursues someone the only thing that she enjoys is the power she has over them to the point where her lust is directly connected to how much she can control them (when she tells PC to strip and does nothing else because just knowing she can debase someone like that is enough to get her going). What a fascinating specimen...

So I've been playing Star Rail and from what I've seen, basically the main trio are SIBLINGS. I love them.

giving psych another go after having watched the first season and a bit a couple years ago before stopping because I hadn't really been feeling it

only like six or seven eps in this time, and I am enjoying it, and I would like to stick with it this time, but god, now I do remember why I gave up on it in the first place. for all the show has going for it (which is a lot!) so much of the tone (and shawn is usually the biggest offender) falls back on those really insufferable attitudes from the mid ’00s of like. hit on every woman you see, getting laid is always the biggest priority. kneejerk disdain for anything nerdy or "uncool." I'm a guy and that means I care about porn and sports and that's it

Hello Jojo fandom

Nothing like horrifying your fans in the Twitch chat and confusing the Spotify listeners

the ghosts I think would watch d20:

kitty - gets extremely excited about everything, happy stims and squeals along with the players, "I don't understand a lot of what's happening, but it's so very thrilling! everyone gets terribly excited for the number twenty; their happiness makes me happy!"

cap - dragged along to watch with kitty, mostly doesn't pay attention to the game but definitely simps for lou wilson. and can you blame him? gets hooked on battles, his eyes light up at the prospect of strategizing.

thomas - fascinated by the storytelling of it and the emotional performances, especially fey and flowers. "these people have such a way with words" sort of energy. wants alison to contact cast members to ask questions about the lore and she has to explain that's not how that works.

pat - played d&d when he was alive, interested in the ways the game has changed since then, constantly interrupts with anecdotes about his games and characters, desperately wants to get a button house campaign going
