#wow I’m disappointed

[festus-eats-tabasco]

alright I finally watched the last episode.

I think everything that could be said has already been said regarding Charles’s Monaco win. But I’m just… Wow. It’s so surreal.

Having followed him for several years now, witnessing the hope and subsequent disappointment as yet another chance to win his home race slips away… The heartbreak and helplessness of 2021 and the anger and frustration of 2022… It’s Charles’s dream fulfilled and Charles’s accomplishment but I feel like it’s personal for so many of us who’ve endured all of those emotional rollercoasters and setbacks along with him, invested in his quest to reach for something he yearned for so deeply. We’re all sharing in it now, Charles’s emotions a reflection of our own; disappointments into delights.

The funny thing is, I was completely calm once he secured pole on Saturday, in a way I rarely am, especially when it comes to racing. It’s hard to describe but it was just this serenity, this gut feeling that today is the day, and that there won’t be any more upsetting surprises. That this is the weekend where that chapter of the “curse” ends, where history is made, that this is where the path was leading all along.

It wasn’t really until Charles crossed the finish line, until that team radio, that inflection in his voice, the way he evidently teared up, the way he ran into his team’s waiting embrace and the way he spoke about his father that it hit me, the emotions, the sheer magnitude of the feat – so straightforward at first glance but heavy with the weight of expectation, longing, past disappointment. The palpable relief on the podium, the way he could finally close his eyes and just drink it all in. Maybe it played out exactly the way he had imagined all that time, maybe it was different, maybe it was better. But it was, in some way, fated.

hey you guys know that even if the people inside that submersible are rich billionaires, dying in that metal tube at the bottom of the ocean is a horrific way to die right. like. yeah stupid choices were made by the people in there signing off on a waiver that says the sub is not approved by anyone and they could die. but it’s the fault of OceanGate for knowingly putting people into a Home Depot DIY sub rigged up with an Xbox controller all to make a profit on people’s curiosity.

I think the funniest (read as: most upsetting) things about the Five/Lila/Diego side plot is that literally NOBODY got a happy ending out of it??????????

There are definitely outcomes to that bombshell of a plot line that would have been more favorable than others (my favorite probably being the one where it doesn’t happen at all), but let’s take a look at the facts shall we?

Diego, Lila, and Five all die (along with the others of course)

Diego dies with no true resolution for the fact that his wife and the mother of his children cheated on him with his brother

Diego also ends up some sort of weird cuck who watches Lila reach for Five’s hand during their final moments, knowing it’ll be the last hand she holds.

Diego dies with no clarity as to whether or not Lila loved Five or not. She never fucking answered him. Maybe her silence was meant to speak for itself; I just think it’s bullshit that he died not knowing and having that uncertainty.

Lila dies after spending 7 years in some sort of time limbo away from her children, only to see them for a grand total of maybe an hour being she meets her death

Five dies also not knowing if Lila loved him, which I think is significantly less important than anything else on this list, but I do think if you’re going to write a love triangle at least SOMEBODY should know if love is in the equation or not?

Diego and Five both die with bad blood between them.

I have mixed feelings on the season overall, and I didn’t hate a lot of the aspects of it that others seem to.

I can however agree that not only is the love triangle unnecessary and weird, but it was shoddily written and cruel in its delivery. This is some half-crocked shit I’d expect to see in a mid-series writing slump to generate drama that can be resolved over the course of a season or two- NOT some kind of ambiguous series finale.

The only props I have to deliver to this plot line are to the cast for managing to act their asses off despite the script being garbage.

Incubus Dabi who is so used to being so charming and easy to slide inside the comfort of anyone’s bed, only to be brought to his knees by you—a succubus so old and grand and divine that he can’t even tell that you’re other. that you’re higher and greater than him in every way, shape, and form. that pins him so easily and makes him scream your name, gets him drunk enough on your scent and power that he forgets who, and what, he even is.

I’ve been reading the Neverending Story to my sisters as a bedtime story, and I still love this book so so much!! Trying to figure out what I want their designs to look like, because I do want to draw more stuff from this book

[bloodheartz]

Just gonna say that mocking people for voicing their disappointment over the stream (spongebobscreamingwithflyingicecreamtruck.png “IN A CIVIL AND POLITE MANNER”) just makes you like. An asshole lmao. People are gonna be disappointed when they’re told they’re getting one thing and getting another no matter what, even if what they get instead is really good/funny.

We’re not spending time attempting to redeem this man are we???

I wanted to see him suffer, burn, lose EVERYTHING!!

I don’t want to watch everyone feeling a bit sorry for him cos he’s gonna be a Dad.

Which I guess means he couldn’t possibly get his comeuppance now??!

🙄🙄🙄

I said I was gonna talk more about MM on this blog again and I will probably eventually do analysis stuff I just need to prep this shit cause those post take time for the ones that are more coherent and not just my usual word vomits, BUT I do need to word vomit for a second about one thing that plagued my mind again today.

One of my biggest peeves with the series lore is how reploids and humans hardly have interactions, more so in the X series as Zero makes a bit more effort in this regard, given it’s a huge deal how reploids are seen lower then humans for the longest time- but what has dawned on me more of another factor that really sucks about this is how reploid society itself is ALSO unexplored.

We hardly have any idea of what makes them different from humans, we can only grasp basic details from what the games provide us but it’s unclear if there society is either “very much identical to humans but still has changes to make it different given their machines” or “completely different down to how they live and are treated”. I can’t speak for every robot media ever as I haven’t consumed them all-that’s a impossible task as some are bound to not interest me lol-but I feel like ones that are primarily having sentient robots and multiple of them rather then stuff like mechas where they don’t have much of a personality (usually) or the cases like Aigis in P3 where she is a robot in a mostly human society and therefore learns to become more human, they usually try to give the robots some kind of established society but MM only gives us breadcrumbs.

Like I know transformers is a bigger series so it got more chances to be incredibly fleshed out but I think about how my friends had told me about it and it’s society from just the comics is incredibly detailed that you even know they have religions n shit. And I’m not saying MM has to go to that extent even if it’s had metaphors of that in the later series, but more context to what reploid society has and doesn’t would be nice.

If they actually do need to eat and we aren’t supposed to guess that the energy tanks n stuff are there equivalent, if they ever got to have hobbies or jobs besides serving under humans especially when they have free will, etc. More of how they operate would be really nice to know but alas much like many things in this series lore it’s never going to be deeply elaborated on so I have to throw darts at a board.

okay, but literally, sometimes? the only way you can be happy? you’re gonna have to disappoint your parents. yeah, sorry x

[twinknote]

i didn’t fully understand or appreciate sleep token when i first listened to them. i get it now. i didn’t deserve them

[juniperhillpatient]

dang I’m like actually really upset right now. I don’t want to hear how I’m overreacting or ai isn’t all evil. I love stories I love writing I love analyzing stories it’s the thing I get excited & passionate about. hearing a creator for one of my favorite shows of all time saying (during a writer’s strike!) that he’s all for ai & wants to use it to write his show actually makes me feel so hopeless & sad.

[partynthem]

that was the exact same show i saw on tuesday…
