Fact: The first 6 episodes of Agatha all Along have an IMDb score ranging from 7.1/10 - 8.2/10 and Death’s Hand in Mine (episode 7) has a 9.2/10
Fact: Given that information, the 46K people who voted generally agree that this is the best episode in season one.
Opinion: I thought episode 7 was phenomenal, I enjoyed it the most and I wish that the previous episodes were as well written as the final 3.
Are people not allowed to have opinions anymore??? I said this on tik tok and people lost their minds 💀 As a queer woman and comic Wiccan fan I genuinely liked the show and found it fun… I just think that there was a jump in writing quality in the last 3 episodes 🤷♀️

Harrow got so unbelievablely horny dreaming about Gideon's rolled up sleeves exposing her lean, taut muscle, a little dewy with sweat and steam but you know what.... thinking about it. Gideon does not disrobe basically ever, except in private to bathe. A tantalizing glimpse of forearm may legitimately be the most Harrow's imagination has to work with
#it takes a while for Gideon to be comfortable even removing her cloak at Canaan House#and that was a much warmer enviorment than the Ninth#kind of interesting that Gideon's seen Harrow naked and there's no evidence Harrow even knows what Gideon's shoulders look like#and how that corresponds to their different levels of emotional vulnerability#harrow laid it all out on the table: all her trauma her devotion her motivations and at the end her admiration for Gideon#meanwhile Gideon says she wants one thing then directly contradicts herself woth her actions#she flashed her heart once - you know I only care about you right? - before rolling her sleeves up and dying#this isn't a criticism of Gideon#their environment has provided a lot more security and support for Harrow#which is saying something#I also suspect she Gideon naturally has the emotional self-awareness of a cheeseburger which does not help her out but anyway#just think it's interesting how they've bared such different amounts of themselves to one another#the locked tomb#gideon nav#harrow nonagesimus

I think it's really annoying that leo has completely falsified memories of jason too and this is barely acknowledged in the books
#it is also barely acknowledged by the fandom but I blame the books for that#call me crazy but I think that's a big deal actually!#he grew up with nothing! no close friends! now his memories of his best friends are fake!#the whole tlh gang obviously become close in the end but I just think leo and jason in particular warranted more thought#rick clearly doesn't dwell on it with leo bc friendships and romance are not given the same weight#one of the first things pov jason says about leo is “if someone like this guy is my friend then my life must be messed up”#(not a callout of jason I think it was hilarious and understandable. he is So Confused)#but idk instead leo's reaction in the books is mostly framed as Ok finally I don't have to be the third wheel anymore#Wait fuck they're dating again anyway!#which is also understandable but I would love to also see him Struggle More with the fact that those memories aren't even real to begin wit#something something friendships are just as valuable and significant and consequential as romances#leo valdez#jason grace#rr crit#<- this is barely a fleshed out criticism of the books themselves but just in case#pjo hoo toa#I could say something about how people hate jiper for this same reason but I won't bc I don't care about jiper really#beyond my general feelings that the way their breakup was written was one of rick's worst writing moments

not to be salty on main again but now that i got to the end. the "we wanted the choices that carry over to matter" really was just bullshit huh
#the decisions matter!*#*if you romanced solas#dude ari never even got face to face with him. he was barely even mad at him in dialogue and was defending him!#his ass would never#(this isnt me hating solas this is ari hating solas lol)#and then he doesnt even exchange a single word with solas#and josie got mentioned in one (1) codex. in which she doesnt even address him by name#sigh.#laya plays dav#dav spoilers#dav critical#this wouldnt irk me so much if a) the devs didnt play such obvious favourites and b) they hadnt been talking bs about it#this is not an invitation to shit on solas fans or solavellans btw. if i see any of that in my notes i Will block on sight

It's been a full year since the Mighty Nein show announcement and I am honestly still laughing that we all inexplicably identified that the lines were re-recorded for the announcement in particular in .02 seconds flat. This is still my takeaway a year later.
#can y'all believe it's been a whole goddamn year. what the fuck.#it's so funny tho cuz I went and listened to it again and STILL was like 'oh that's re-recorded'#even though there's BARELY a discernible difference. like frankly not even a describable one in most cases#it is somewhat clear with essek cuz the actual line does not end on 'ocean of the unknown' but also like#there's a notable gap in the original that's like... no it cOULD'VE been the same line but it's nOT#tbf when you compare them it's also sound quality. like c2 sound quality is VERY MUCH FINE but it's not 'recorded in a booth' good#but also if you're not directly comparing the lines (which like. we were not doing right off the bat) it is... definitely minute inflection#anyway I'm laughing#m9 animated#critical role

comparing elia martell to princess diana is kinda insane
cause the real princess diana of westeros was rhaegar
#lmao i’m sorry but i just saw the most cray cray post and i wanted to laugh#what did elia do for the common people? did they even like her? she’s loved in dorne but in the rest of westeros? she barely mentioned#the fact that diana created this approachable image & had so many charities under her belt is why she was so loved#rhaegar singing to the commoners == dany helping her sick subjects == diana shaking hands with people with aids#tbh charles and diana’s story should actually once again remind people that arranged marriages fucking suck for both individuals involved#i do not like charles at all but it’s not his fault that he didn’t love diana 🤷♀️#i’m just so suprised by the absurdity of trying to compare charles and camilla to rhaegar and lyanna#asoiaf fandom critical#anti elia stans#rhaegar targaryen#rip prince rhaegar the silver prince who’s still so beloved by the common folk 💔#im here to fight for rhaegar’s honor#i’ll call him the peoples prince 😂#asoiaf#to be serious for a sec: i hate these surface level takes. it completely strips the text of any nuance and context#this nuance and context is so important bc it is key to understanding the themes and underlying messages of the text#but instead people wanna compare aesthetics. which is fine and fun. but theres nothing in the text that even hints-#-that any of these characters can be directly paralleled to these modern royals.#my silver prince 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Oh ok. I get now why a lot of people didn't vibe with the ending.
All and all: excellent manga, overall very good final act, too rushed final 2-3 chapters but weak and honestly mediocre epilogue, which makes the high of the ending kind of leave a bitter taste. I think Noda had a good steed and suddenly he had to finish and had to rush all. So the ending in the sense of the final arc was good but the ending proper (final couple chapters) + epilogue......... Not so much
#i liked rhe ending (though made the mistake to read comments so now I'm like 'yeah you are right that did not make sense' when on my own i#probably would not have noticed. but ok. I'll work my suspension of disbelief. HOWEVER the epilogue WAS indeed very lackluster#i get it's an epilogue but it was so rushed. we barely get a closure for ume and saichi and tanigaki did not get to#take asirpa back to uci as he should have (though he was instrumental for that). overall it was super rushed#like we did not even see how Sugimoto was rescued. the epilogue was faaaar too rushed tbh and also too vague in parts#siraishi not really saying goodbye.... also sugimoto and asirpa living together that's cute idc and i think the line into nastyness was not#crossed but oh boy is it a thin thread... i still choose to believe they are platonic soulmates lol but i want to see an official#translation of the volume that's all i say. what else... oh yes. the way the gold never got to actually be distributed doesn't sit right#with me at all but the worst part was definitely the sugimoto/ume thing oh god that was BAD#we did get to see osoma which was cute#OH AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON VASILY??? We didn't even see him. the epoligue for him in particular was great though but his ending was not#like he just hanged around ogata gor chapters and chapters on end and we don't even get a glimpse of him during the final showdown??#tbh i think noda wanted to do something more with him but realized he did not quite fit into the story and in the end got#caught up with all the main lines he did have to close and he obviously had planned and probably combined with his own exhaustion well#did not go nice for vasily! i also would have liked a more proper epilogue for tsukishima and koito. they deserved it#I don't like how pre-epilogue the tsukishima-tsurumi-koito tension seems to reach a breaking point only to kind of not get resolved because#they have to keep fighting lol.#laura reads#also i get the sentiment of the ending regarding the ainu and i think noda did his best but it seems like a rather soft thing for asirpa to#do like... sure. museums and stuff. i GET it but it goes a little too soft in the actual colonialism that went on from the japanese. i feel#noda starts off fairly critical of that but in the end softens his stance which is a shame but ok. the bar is in hell so this is actually#much better than average from what i can personally gather of my little knowledge#golden kamuy#gk spoilers

My new hobby is skimming through seasons of Ninj//ago to induce a fever dream like state in my psychese
#I've always had kinda like....petty beef with ninj//ago just cause like. EVERYONE compares it to monkie kid#When they r just not comparable beyond the surface level observation that its legos#Like ninj//ago contributes to the idea of an Asian monolith and uh. It's annoying to me.#It's also so thematically empty and they just reset shit whenever and it barely has characters. It's not good#Which makes me feel crazy when lmk is SO good. Like so so so good#Let it be known I've seen all that's out of drag//on rising#the first 3 seasons of the og show. And I skimmed through possession seabound and both crystal king parts#Gotta say. Sea Nya slaps like what the hell#Ninj//ago isn't good but that was legitimately like. Awesome#So there are officially 1 and a half episodes that I find thematically banging#I'm always a sucker for there being no good choice but still having to choose. Like I am. What decision can you live with#But Nya losing herself to the Sea? Losing her own breath and inhaling the sea to remove the water out of Jay's lungs?#The fact that she only became the water ninja because her friends needed her which eventually pushed her into this fate#Making it so she couldn't remember who she was or what her loved ones meant to her?#Her convo with nyad was like#duuddeeeeeeeeeee. brooooooo#Like she became eternal and endless. A force of nature but there was still a small part of her that remembered what ''good'' is#The part of her that would save a sailor who had gone overboard even if it went against the natural course of the ocean#Because there is no right or wrong there. Except in the small drop of Nya that was left#Like what the FUCK that's CRAZYYY BRO#Like she literally had to pull herself out of herself (the sea) to keep ''Nya'' together like. oh my god. How the cookie crumbles I guess#ninjago critical#anyways I've been losing my mind about Sea Nya and how nothing else in ninja//go is like it I needed to get it off my chest#sea nya

I feel like the people making those sunscreen defense posts are simply not inhabiting the same internet I am or something. Sunscreen is good to prevent cancer yes, but women on tiktok are saying you need to wear sunscreen to your windowless office job so you don’t get wrinkles. And are also saying you need to buy the most expensive sunscreen to do this every day. And also are only putting sunscreen on their face to avoid wrinkles and sunspots. This is so prevalent that there are already memes about skin quality on people’s (women’s) faces vs on the rest of their entire body.
Like I am not advocating for no sunscreen ever but forgive me if I think people can probably afford to go out most days without sunscreen on their face or body since most people are not spending much time outside most days. Forgive me if I think it’s a little ridiculous that women specifically have been targeted with this intense fear mongering, but not so much that we are telling women to wear practical clothing covering most skin when they are going to be outdoors. Only just enough that they should buy one more product at a dramatic markup and use it religiously while changing nothing else about their habits
#like even though sunscreen does help prevent skin cancer#which it is barely doing by the way the way most influencers are advising to put it on#we are allowed to criticize the way the beauty industry has seized on this to manipulate vulnerable women and girls#i promise you the company that started putting sunscreen in their foundation does not care if you live or die#especially when they put other carcinogens in that same line

I give my grad speech in a week, have been writing a million versions of what I want to say in my head all year, talked to my mom last night, boy did she separate the wheat from the chaff.
#teaching tag#allskskskksksjsjs my mom one of the only people in the world who knows me and appreciates me but is not under the influence of my charm#even a little bit#skksksksksjsj actually my whole family is like this. which is a GIFT. and also something that can be so hard for me skskkdjdjdjdjdjjd#truly my most ruthless critics#but I wanted to cut things down in my own mind to the truest and most bare essentials#and that’s why I asked my mom! because I wanna get the core straightened out#will it end up being slightly more joke-y and vulnerable than she would like? yeah. but I am not my mom and cannot live as if I were#anyway have I thought too much about this speech? 100%. and wildly overestimated its actual importance#which is pretty small. so I have a week to wrangle myself back in line#idk i know it’s a good thing—the wave of excitement I can create#and I’ve had many people tell me they’re so looking forward to it etc.#but with it also comes a lot of pressure. a lot of pressure to be funny and to be charming#my own instinctive desire to fly too close to the sun and to take everybody on a ridiculous journey#but I want to go back to the core. especially in my teaching#it feels extremely important to me#anyway. what I need to do is let this go. and pray. and stop having a huge ego etc.#but it’s very hard because I am a self-obsessed narcissist who LOVES the sound of her own voice#I am also exhausted and have a lot of teaching/grading to do in the next week#sorry just processing thank you for listening

i've been taking my time this playthrough, not rushing to do everything all at once and spacing out the exploring with side quests more than i did last time, and i'm not very far in yet but it already feels like the game flows a lot better this way
#i find it hard to criticize the pacing in most rpgs because it usually feels like it's largely controlled by the player#like i think it's a side effect of the genre? in my first playthrough i explored every single part of the map that i could without leaving#and did every companion quest/hangout as soon as i got them one after the other#which of course lead to me sometimes going hours between any new dialogue and leaving seemingly urgent quests on read for a looong time lol#which is not a problem exclusive to datv! every other da game has this issue too.. actually i can't really think of an rpg that doesn't??#anyway! this time i'm exploring the maps in sections and going back to the lighthouse more and idkkk it feels good#i've barely touched the crossroads yet whereas my first playthrough i had all the wolf statues before i even talked to inky#i have a feeling that spacing out solas' regrets will feel a lot better than binge-watching them lol#dee plays datv

I like the rebranding I think the old logo needed updating and the new one is more dynamic. And I like that the GP kinda looks like a circuit
#motogp#I’m not calling it MGP#that’s a very obvious let’s follow f1 path#but I think that they need a way to condense motogp for smaller sized icons like for socials and stuff#so I get why they’ve done that#I don’t think it’s boring and the way they’ve animated the text is very cool and I can see it looking for smooth for the broadcast#I also think it’s LEAGUES above the f1 logo which is borderline ineligible#why do people always hate on shit blindly I think it’s so unfair and opposing of change#maybe this is too nice of me but do yall not get that there’s swarms of people and designers and creative minds that go into rebranding#it’s not entirely just corporate buisness money grabs#I hate the hate trains on anything new because there’s so many dedicated people behind the scenes who put a lot of work into that#and the companies they’re hired by are now gonna see them getting raked through the mud#when the criticism is barely that deep and it’s just internet people being loud for the sake of it#except the knock on effect is that those artists get discredited for their honest work#it’s just unfair when 80% of people are barely even series#they’re just jumping on the bandwagon#whatever I’m going to sleep

My roommate and I had a conversation last night and I keep rotating it in my brain and I Don’t Like It
#blue chatter#they called me a resilient person. and no the fuck I am not. I break down so easily over everything and my body is falling apart on me.#I scream in terror when someone knocks on the door too hard the fuck you mean I’m good at handling adversity#I pointed out that I freak out whenever my grade gets low even a little bit#and they were just sitting there like ‘yeah. and then you pick yourself up again and you do the work.’#and no? not always? oftentimes I give up and don’t try hard enough to fix it and let points go that I could have earned#I barely ever go for extra credit opportunities and I’ve never gone to office hours of my own free will#I can’t even think about talking to a professor about a bad grade without wanting to cry? hello?#but they were insistent that even with those things I am still managing Incredibly Well in class given the circumstances. which made me#uncomfortable. like. I don’t think of myself as resilient At All and I feel a bit like I’m lying or tricking them.#I start shaking like a chihuahua when people are upset and I’m In The Vicinity. even when they’re clearly not upset with me.#I really struggle to advocate for myself ever and even when I do I usually feel guilty and walk it back partway so I don’t cause a fight#and I always get way too emotional for the situation when someone has anything they’re upset with me for. which isn’t fair to them bc I need#to be able to take constructive criticism without taking it as a personal attack on me.#like what the fuck do you mean *resilient*. I can’t even handle seeing a bug flying near my face or getting a B in a class. or being told#that I did something wrong. I’m actually significantly worse at handling adversity than I used to be. high school me was a resilientish kid.#and it’s not like I was ever *good* at handling my emotions. even when it was essential for my safety. I’ve always cried way too easily#even when it actively made the situation I was in Much Worse. even when I knew better.#I would get angry and scared and sad and start shaking and crying and even screaming at my parents when they were mad at me even though#I knew that it would always make my life much worse. and extend an already beleaguered argument.#I brought this up with my therapist and she was like ‘well. anybody would have done that if they were treated like you were’.#which. okay. maybe so. I still feel like I should have been able to handle it and just shut up and move on and not make it worse.#but I am aware that this is probably a cognitive distortion. even so. that definitely doesn’t make me resilient.#I just. I feel gross being called resilient. I’m not. I’m weak and easily scared and unable to handle even small amounts of adversity.#the fuck is my roommate even *seeing*.#the annoying part is that they’re generally an insightful person about other people and I know logically that they’re probably right#which is why I’m not going to complain any more about this to their face bc I should just drop it and not make it a Thing#I talk too much about myself and my problems anyway. not every conversation has to be about my brain worms.#but the discomfort is Distinct and Unpleasant. and now I’m just having to sit with it. and Feel Uncomfortable. and try to accept what was#definitely intended as a compliment. I know it’s draining to talk to someone who doesn’t accept any of the kind things you say about them.

Everything that is about powder gangers makes me so uncomfortable in a bad way.
#i dont like how they are written#game is great i am having fun as you can clearly see in my blog but also sometimes it's really not good and it stinks#like sometimes writing is so good which makes horrible writing feel even more horrible#or like makes things i would let go because its a game things that are more serious and annoying#like some guys being designated bad is okay its a video game i can close one eye but also trying to have social commentary with same guys...#like prison system sucks followed by all prisoners are deserving to die here some good karma feels not good#anyways anyways some negativity ignore me i needed to talk because its bothering me#geym#i think its kinda also problem with games nature like you're the messiah one great man of history choosing n influencing everything in world#so sometimes some points some themes become wrong and got meaningless#anyways whatever i have some things bothering me with fallout in general but i am not smart#i need some other very smart fallout fans to write a good essay for me about flaws of games without being classic fanboy criticism#or like i need more than some very surface level leftist meta#like saying Fallout was always woke because it says capitalism bad + slavery wrong is the bare minimum to me#but its like majority of leftist analysis and leftist praise to game you can find like#kinda like xmen fandom tbh#okay i am done for reals now
