Another bad use of formula is that Mira and Zoey turn on Rumi seemingly just because she hid her condition, which is a bullshit way of getting us to the emotional lowpoint of the climax. Rumi has been their friend for years! Pointing a weapon at her only validates her fears about the secret being revealed in the first place, and it cheapens their reconciliation later because Rumi is the one who initiates it and saves the other two when she's entirely blameless. Yeah, she was acting a bit overbearing before and she did things behind their back, but again, by guilting her about it they are validating those bad reactions in the first place.
It's also a waste of Mira and Zoey's characters as well. Instead of a tired Liar's Revealed plot, have Mira be angry at Rumi for something that actually takes her back to her bad relationship with her family. It doesn't have to be a particularly fair reason, just one that clearly stings enough, in fact, it would be better if it was slightly unfair and personal because then you could give Zoey a complete character arc of her own as well. Zoey is clearly affected by her parents' divorce, that's why she people pleases so hard, so have her freeze in this conflict between her two friends that puts her in a similar situation and then have her gather the courage to confront Mira and say, hey, I get why you're pissed and all, but Rumi's our friend and deserves our support right now in spite of your feelings. That way when they all sing together at the end it really is a culmination of all 3 of them overcoming their issues and becoming a family again.
And while we're talking about wasting secondary characters, I think the other Saja Boys should've had personalities of their own as well. I get that Rumi and Jinu are the main course, but since these are apparently other demons that Jinu recruited to his cause giving them a bare minimum of character interactions with him would help the movie structurally. They don't need to have deep personalities, or individual character arcs, or serious romances with the other girls, just show me what they think about the plan, or about their leader's weakening resolve, don't just have them stand there being pretty for the joke, it's not funny enough.

Not to vague post and also if this blows up and people start clowning in the notes I’m killing myself but:
It’s kinda funny how the “if you even think about watching a video out loud in public you are violating social rules and are annoying and rude and deserve to be killed with hammers” website has decided that smoking weed in crowded enclosed spaces is fine and that filling a room with loud smoke is sososo socially acceptable and good actually 😊 and you’re a whiny narc if you don’t want to get hotboxed by a stranger at a concert.
Like. Be so fucking fr right now. Please.

people who tag shit incorrectly please expect coal in your stocking.
if it is an OC, stop tagging it as "x reader"
if the "reader" has a name, it is an OC
if the fic is not finished, dont mark it as complete
dont tag a ship thats not there just to try and get reach.
dont add random conflicting tags; "hurt no comfort" and "angst with a happy ending" cannot coexist. why are they both tagged in the same fic.
its just not that hard you guys.

Love Stellaris, I love it to death, huge fan.
PDX, when you promise an update will fix lag, can you maybe, maybe, just a teensy-bit, make sure the update doesn't make the game lag and crash worse than before?
I have yet to suffer this issue myself (I choose when I update the game, that's the magic of waving black flags, me hearties), but come on! And on the release day of the one of the best expansions in the game's history?
Ugh.
At least said DLC looks fantastic. Love the Horrors you can have as ships, the new Empire customization stuff looks great, and at least the actual contents of 4.0 like the new Pop management and District systems work fine and really refresh things.
But god, I beg of you, hire more testers, and give some of them slightly shidded computers so you catch this shit faster, guys.

extremely petty and bitchy hot take of the night: making a whole production of how queer and transgressive and anti-racist your take on lovecraft is and how much the guy would have despised it and be spinning in its grave just feels like pro forma marketing at this point. "Lovecraft but fuck Lovecraft' is a whole genre now. You're not breaking any barriers, stop acting like you're blowing people's minds here.

See, here's the thing. Rumi and Jinu are interesting. They are genuine narrative foils, which is something incredibly rare for a het pairing in this type of genre. They both live in shame, both trying to escape themselves without confronting their issues at root, both suffering under an authority figure who empowers them but also holds their condition over their heads. That's what fuels their enemies-to-lovers arc and it's fucking golden, it's amazing.
Sadly, all of this is bogged down by the script slotting them into the Usagi/Mamoru dynamic in the beginning, wherein Rumi is dragged by the nose like a 6-year-old getting her pigtails pulled as Jinu negs her. I understand that it's an attempt at levity and humor -and to be clear a lot of this is just a me problem of not liking this cliché- but it's completely unnecessary and I feel like it robs them of their uniqueness. Their best moments together are the ones when they're either on equal ground or when Rumi is on top and able to refute Jinu, because that's when he develops, that's when his character gains depth. If the script was as bad as some of the shoujo I've read then Jinu would remain this smug jerk with a conveniently tragic past who gets away with being the love interest by occasionally doing a good/romantic deed. It is crucial to me buying his sacrifice in the end in spite of his very, very gross misdeeds that he genuinely feels tempted when Rumi points him to listening to his conscience instead of the voices that want to keep him in his remorse. Do you understand how thematically poignant that has to be for me to feel a single shred of sympathy after what he does to Rumi in the third act? Do you?
You don't need to give him a headstart by essentially infantilizing Rumi's attraction, his strategy to manipulate her is already solid, he's using not only her secret but also making himself look pitiful and vulnerable with her and exploiting her sense of altruism. That's it, that's all you need for an opening. I'm not saying that you need to make Rumi's personality more "serious", but don't flatten her to fit this trite dynamic, you don't need to make her more "relatable" to a little girl who wouldn't know how to act in this type of relationship, her problems and personality are already relatable enough!

This “too tired to do anything” -> “doesn’t do anything” -> “muscles and brain feel under stimulated” -> “can’t sleep” -> “is tired” cycle is putting a bitch thru the ringer rn yall.

We talk about it all the time with regards to JKR but I’m going to need people to realize your “fuck Neil Gaiman” in Tumblr bio rings a little hollow if you post about Good Omens 200x a day

I hate Tumblr’s moderation system because they supposedly ban NSFW but then they don’t really do anything about it unless by NSFW we mean random trans women existing, and then people don’t properly mark NSFW content because they’re afraid of getting flagged or whatever so then if you actually don’t want to see NSFW content it’s very hard to avoid.
I mean, literally look at #gay or #trans woman for example. There is so much NSFW visible by default. Plus #gay literally has the fun colors which is somewhat of an endorsement of that tag, despite it being overrun with porn.
