#built in show-and-tell

the most difficult thing about growing as a person socially, as in getting out of your shell and noticing that you are, is that there will still be times when it doesn’t feel like you’ve grown at all! times when you can’t really connect with anyone around you, times when you fail to enter into an existing conversation, times when you say the wrong thing (or nothing at all when in hindsight you probably should’ve). but that’s also kind of the best thing, because that’s the thing that helps you realize that sometimes, it’s not you or your lack of skills or any shortcoming. sometimes certain environments just aren’t for you and certain people aren’t your people, and that’s okay. that’s human. it’s okay to not feel the progress you have made all the time.

are you hesitant to volunteer information out of fear of no one caring and brushing you off bc you grew up invalidated and neglected or are you normal

big fan of watching writing advice videos or reading stuff about dos and donts about writing just so I can try and write a story incorporating as many donts as possible out of sheer spite

man rewatching teen wolf and i just....have a hard time believing stiles and lydia actually like each other and I don't mean romantically like I just mean as people

a majority of the time (and im on season 3b atm) both of them genuinely look so irritated with each other and when lydia is in distress stiles yells at her and shames her for not acting how he wants her to act and any time stiles gets ideas to try and help the situation with the plot lydia always dismisses them and brushes him off, further looking irritated that he would even suggest such an idea (seriously pay attention to the episode where stiles tries to get her to channel her banshee powers to find deaton, she dismisses him and some of the looks he gives her is just y i k e s)

it's the strangest thing ive ever seen like I've seen good banter with ships, a lot of my favorite ships are centered around banter/rivalry/enemies to lovers/etc and a key thing with banter is that both parties have to be enjoying it on some level, there has to be a mutual give and take, a balance from the banter to soft genuineness that positively progresses their relationship consistently st***dia has none of that (no the panic attack kiss doesn't count)

its also irritating that we're supposed to accept it because stiles is the 'sarcasm is my only defense' character and yet half the shit he does and says when it comes to lydia isn't him being sarcastic, it's genuinely how he feels but no because stiles is sarcastic and funny and lydia is...lydia...we're supposed to ignore that and be like 'oh my god they bicker like a married couple so cute # goals'

no actually I’d like to hear your thoughts on the isat ending

Like i said it felt really tropey and by that i meant that it’s just Everything Good Happens forever and…..that’s it ? like idk we were building up to this huge catharsis sort of thing and then we got to it and it was so sudden and not a good payoff and just kind of nothingburger of an ending . the fact that everyone just forgives siffrin bothers me, or at least the fact that they don’t confront them about the shit they’ve said and done. call me a mental illness villainizer but i think if you’re a fucking asshole and doing the most insensitive things to the people you care about then hey, i think those ppl have a right to fucking tell you off for it. likeeee idk being at your lowest point …… not an excuse …. not feeling it chief ……. like sure the message is to move past your mistakes or whatever but ? that doesn’t mean just getting away with it ??? and i just really don’t understand Why everyone forgives him. honestly at the end of the day the ending is just one problem, the root of which are the characters. everyone feels like trope cardboard cutouts. oh, this is the smart one. this is the smol bean. this is the himbo. and they all care for each other btw. Did u hear that? they all care for each other. we’re not really going to explain to you why these people are so close or what they went through together but just trust me man they’re sooo found famy. like …. okay. i’ve played 30 hours of this game and not once did i buy that any of the characters really cared about each other. like??? why???? You’re telling me everyone super cares about siffrin even though they barely know them?? you’re telling me siffrin cares about everyone sooo much even though he never even bothered to find out their problems before ? Wat ? and this just breaks the ending more because literally whyyy do these people care about him so bad. and then it’s just whyyy does siffrin Have to tell them anything he doesn’t even seem to know them that well. everyone feels like colleagues and Just Friends at best. and so the ending just seems really forced. like it was written by that type of tumblr user who’s always talking about aww why does the found family have to break up after the end of the journey :( which is like fiiiiine. i guess. but u guys know that u have to build up to it right?? you can’t just tell me they’re Family Members(tm) 102829 times and that they super care about each other source: trust. you can’t just do that and then expect me to believe it ….. It feels unearned. the ending feels unearned and i don’ttttt understand what i’m supposed to take away from it . that it’s ok to fuck people up because you’re traumatized and insecure?? that you have to talk about your deepest problems with people you barely know??? i just dont know. Like i said if im being honest the problems with this game’s writing are more than just the ending, it just stands out so much because there’s a lot of build up and then just …… That

I like to pretend that the reason why Freddy's brows stay the same in all his sprites is because wolves dont have eyebrow muscles and thus he cant move his brows at all instead of it being just because the devs didn't change them

hmmmm i get the goh joke (pokémon go) and i haven’t watched anything near it yet but yghhh its rubbing me the wrong way. ludonarrative dissonance to the max. the further i get into the og anime the more frustrated with TPC walking back any interesting critiques of the world just so players don’t feel uncomfortable

Pretty much all creative choices Disney has made with the Star Wars property are inane, but the one that I feel a particularly petty disdain for is the attempt to make Mon Mothma cool. Mon is not a cool character, okay. She's just not. She exists to be a rebel leader who knew Padmé and can therefore react with proper surprise to learning Leia is Vader and Amidala's kid in fanfic. That's her 'point.'
