#and the DRAMA of it all

[fagtainsparklez]

there is not a day that goes by that i don’t think about the dropped plot of cboomer wanting to visit cdream in the prison. and i don’t just mean in the sense of finding out more about cboomer’s family but in the sense of like. what would sam have done? because we know how caught-up sam was at that point, how far he’d gone, how he’d turned his back on those he’d previously cared about (ponk, tommy, etc) for the sake of the prison. hannah even warns boomer about him, telling them that warden sam isn’t the same sam they know, and it drives me insane that we never got to know if that was true

because yes, warden sam was different to everyone. but would he have been different to boomer? boomer, who was the one person he trusted with his secret. boomer, who would later rescue him at the end of the world. boomer, who he’d known and cared about and loved for thousands of years. it’d have been so interesting to see sam, warden sam, cold, heartless machine sam, let down his guard for this one man to the surprise of everyone, or equally as interesting to see him still put up his guard despite his and boomer’s history. i literally feel myself lose years of my life every time i think about what they could’ve been,,,,,,

big fan of the choice this table/circle made to have their characters be this deeply entrenched in each other's lives, these folks have known each other for years and that shows!!

Sean yelling at auntie Bee, her holding a grudge against Nathaniel, him falling back on his boys, Marion and Jean reliving those memories together etc etc

it's so juicy!!!!

in case you were wondering how things went down at the pokemon world championships this weekend:

-during the top 8 of the TCG masters division, chilean player fernando cifuentes was running a gimmick deck that consisted exclusively of four iron thorns ex and a whole ton of control-focused trainer cards in a strategy that either completely shuts down opponents or shits the bed entirely

-through skillful play and some good luck, fernando made it through 2 days in a tournament with over 1100 players to get to the quarterfinals

-fernando lost 2-0 to ian robb, who was running regidrago vstar (widely considered one of the best decks in the current format)

-in an overexuberant victory celebration, ian did what can only be described as a jacking-off gesture, on a stream with tens of thousands of viewers run by a company with very firm player conduct expectations

-the judges determined that this warranted a penalty of game loss, but for some reason, rather than applying it to ian’s next game in the semifinals, they applied it to the one he had just won in the top 8

-(it should be noted that the prize money for making top 8 is $15k while top 4 is $20k, so this jerking gesture cost ian robb $5,000)

-nearly an hour after fernando came to terms with his loss and the end of an impressive run, he was told that he was to get back on stream because he’s now playing in the semifinals due to winning by default

-the player he was up against in the semifinals was playing a deck (miraidon) that happens to get shut down hard by iron thorns’s gimmick, so fernando wins the semifinals

-said player, jesse parker, had notably had an undefeated run throughout the whole tournament up to this point, and likely would have continued that streak had his intended semifinal opponent not gotten a game loss penalty for miming a lewd act on stream

-meanwhile, the other semifinal winner is japan’s seinosuke shiokawa, running a deck (roaring moon) that players had largely written off as underwhelming months ago

-the grand finals are on the following day, so saturday evening was abuzz with a lot of people baffled by the absurdity of the situation

-come sunday afternoon, the grand finals are set to begin, with fernando cifuentes running iron thorns and seinosuke shiokawa running roaring moon

-it should be noted here that the roaring moon deck doesn’t rely very much on abilities, so iron thorns’s gimmick has very little effect - this is basically an even matchup

-fernando wins the first game of the set, and seinosuke wins the second

-the third and final game of the set is a bonafide cheek-clencher, with both players reaching a state where a single KO will win the game, but fernando manages to clinch it at the last minute

-and that’s the story of how a guy pretending to jork it led to the first instance of a pokemon world champion who also lost the quarterfinals

The Pitt literally has everything. Socially awkward and highly competent autistic coded character. Sarcastic asshole with a heart of gold. Nervous white boy with the saddest eyes you’ve ever seen. Nepo baby child prodigy. Milf with a mysterious past. Noah Wyle. Need I say more

The thing that is interesting is if you have any semblance of personality you will definitely encounter people who viscerally hate you and obsess over you for years and you will not even remember their name

Something about miners getting attached to the canary to the point they try to give them a fighting chance, except this time it's the miner that gets killed.

help people on the last post being like "who is possibly having drama on iNaturalist" buddy you have no idea. every single corner of that website is mired in drama that you cant even imagine. every identifier leaderboard is regularly having hatfield and mccoy level schisms. there are published experts getting into heated arguements dozens of comments long under a bad cellphone photo of a snake. every power user has a list of at least 3 other users who they would physically fight in an instant given the opportunity.

you took a bunch of people who are all insanely intense about extremely niche topics and put them in the same website, what did you expect? its a miracle we stop long enough to identify anything

and we're still not as bad as bugguide
