#literally only explanation I can think of for that

[the-drokainian]

Boy Scout: I don't care what the map says, the right path is an obvious trap! You can see where a good dozen people have tried to sneak past us to set up one of the most blatant ambushes I've ever seen. *points at literally nothing*

The 'Local Guide' paid off to lure the Hero Party to their doom: No! No. That's ridiculous! This is an open field with nowhere to hide for miles! There's not a tree in sight. What would make you think that?

BS: *Squints in suspicion and starts sniffing the air.* Have you been working with someone who handles poison regularly? Maybe got *sniff* 26 gold recently, no, *SNIFF* 27, and that fancy ring seems new too...

Traitorous Guide: *Sweating bullets* What is wrong with this kid?!

Boy Scout is incapable of getting lost if he tried. Stuff a bag over his head, spin him around 12 times, and toss him in the middle of a forest he's never been to before. He'll stumble his way back to the party on accident with a new walking stick and fur cloak. He can also find nearly anything so long as he knows what he's looking for. Lose a bird in the middle of a storm at night? Piece of cake. Drop your favorite rock in a river. One swim and he got it. The one main exception is MC. No matter what Boy Scout does, he always misses him somehow, and it's infuriating!!! His tags don't stick. Any magical tracking spells flub almost instantly. And trying to follow him au natural leads BS in circles.

That being said he has gotten so close so many times! Boy Scout has been inches away from MC only to lose the scent, or he shows up right where MC was but just seconds after MC teleported away. There is no proper explanation for it than just he's MC.

The standard 'entire class gets isekai'd to a fantasy world and the outcast MC is basically discarded' anime setting, where the MC, now assumed dead, decides to instead help the class of Heroes in the shadows, making sure they live up to what the people need.

However, the entire class knows that he's alive and are hellbent on dragging that son of a bitch back into the spotlight and to give him the recognition he deserves.

(And maybe because he was basically the entire class's Little Guy™.)

Thinking about Transformers: Decepticons (2007) again.

It's a more obscure bit of TF fiction, but basically it was a game released for the DS as a tie-in for the 07 movie. That sounds like a recipe for disaster, but the game is actually really fucking good.

The game and its Autobot counterpart, released concurrently, both play well and have some excellent voice acting (Cullen and Welker are there, of course, but so are Steve Blum, Keith David, Daniel Ross, etc), but I don't want to talk about that, I want to talk about the Decepticon version's story.

The game puts you in control of a rookie Decepticon soldier, armed with the unique ability to store multiple vehicle forms and switch between them almost on the fly. Initially, he serves as Starscream's protege, deployed to Earth to assist in the hunt for the Allspark, and also to ensure Megatron never awakens from his icy imprisonment.

Over the course of the game, the protagonist is gradually recruited into Megatron's cult of personality, primarily by Barricade, and slowly turns on Starscream until he finally decides to help revive Megatron instead. Megatron makes his triumphant return, swears vengeance on the Autobots, humanity, and Starscream... and then everyone dies.

Yeah, in the console version of the game, the Decepticon campaign is a pretty generic villain campaign ending. The Autobots all die, Megatron wins and claims the Allspark, and the Decepticons take over Earth.

The Decepticon story on DS is a grim deconstruction of the faction that shows their ideology to be a farce, frames their loyalty to their leader as the source of their downfall, and ends with only Megatron still alive.

At the start of the game, the board is set up so that Starscream is the leader of the Decepticons, Megatron disappeared into space in search of the Allspark thousands of years ago, and ended up frozen beneath the Hoover Dam, and Barricade, Brawl, and Blackout are desperately trying to find him. Also, this is early, early Bayverse lore, so Megatron is literally a spark-eating cannibal. That will be important later.

Midway through the second act, the protagonist asks Barricade why the other Decepticons view Megatron as so much better than Starscream. Barricade replies that it's because they know where they stand with Megatron. Starscream is, well, Starscream. A cowardly weasel who would kill you in your sleep. Megatron would still kill you, but he'd have the spine to do it to your face. Which is... better, somehow?

The thing is, while this explanation works on the protagonist, Barricade will later be proven almost entirely wrong.

Later, when the Decepticons head to the dam to free Megatron, Starscream finally arrives in person and orders the protagonist to kill Megatron before he can thaw out, to prevent him from ever being revived. This all but confirms Barricade's assessment of Starscream in the protagonist's eyes, and he chooses to side with his new comrades over his former mentor, helping them to release Megatron.

And it's then that we get our first look at this version of Megatron. Upon his revival, he discovers that his weapon chip has been removed, and he is unable to fire his guns this way, and so he sits back and waits for Blackout to bring it to him.

Now, that might seem normal, but not if you play both versions of the game.

A bunch of missions are either shared between both games, or really similar to each other. And this mission has a counterpart in the Autobot version where, upon escaping from Sector 7's captivity, Bumblebee finds that he has also lost his weapon chip.

Bumblebee promptly goes to reclaim it himself, and fights through the military vehicles trying to stop him with his bare hands.

Now, Bumblebee is the weakest character in both games. Megatron is the strongest. And yet it's Bumblebee who is willing to throw down unarmed while Megatron waits for his giant, fully-armed attack dog to get his guns back for him.

Megatron then hangs back after sending his troops out to hunt down the Allspark and Starscream, and he's almost immediately punished for it. As he finally decides to leave, he's shot down by Jazz, who has set up a battery of anti-aircraft turrets that will shoot Megatron out of the sky if he tries to leave.

Megatron proceeds to kill Jazz pretty swiftly, and eats him, marking the second death of the game (Ratchet presumably dies fighting the protagonist in the Qatar section), but this is just the first step.

Back in the city, Brawl and Ironhide kill each other. Brawl isn't shown dying on-screen, but given later dialogue, it's implied that he didn't make it. And it's then that Starscream makes his move and it all comes crashing down.

Starscream chases Bumblebee, who has the Allspark, across the city, eventually cornering him in a car park. He then proceeds to beat Bumblebee to death with ease. It's not a remotely hard fight. You're the second-best character in the game, he's the weakest.

With Bumblebee dead, Starscream claims the Allspark for himself. Blackout arrives to try and take it from him in the name of Megatron, and Starscream immediately kills him with a single shot, just as Barricade catches up.

Barricade suggests that Screamer come quietly, but Starscream points out that he has been leading the Decepticon Empire for countless millennia, and, unlike Megatron, successfully claimed the Allspark. But Barricade is blinded by his own fanaticism, and decides to try and bring Starscream in for treason. This goes poorly for him.

Starscream could have killed Barricade just as quickly as he already did to Blackout... but he doesn't. Instead, he takes the time to demonstrate why he was the second-in-command before Megatron's absence, and why he's held onto the leadership for all these years despite his low approval among other Decepticons, and he takes Barricade apart, leaving him dying on the floor as the protagonist arrives.

And to me, this is the first real hint that Barricade is wrong. Because while Starscream did in fact command his lieutenant to kill Megatron in his sleep... Starscream isn't actually wrong about anything he's said. He has been running the empire, and arguably built it himself, considering that the Cybertronians hadn't left their homeworld when Megatron vanished. He did achieve the long-term goal of the Decepticon faction, and contrary to the way he's characterised by Barricade, he did it by slaughtering an Autobot and two Decepticons face-to-face.

Barricade, with his dying words, tells the protagonist "Now you see what it is to be a Decepticon." He'll turn out to be wrong about that too.

The protagonist chases after Starscream, and accuses him of stealing power from the mighty, but at this point he's fully drinking the Megatron Kool-Aid.

And where is Megatron while his most loyal soldiers are dying for him, and trying to reclaim the Allspark for him? He's ignoring the whole thing to go and fight Optimus Prime.

Prime has a pretty minimal role in the game, ironically, with the lion's share of the focus being on the Decepticons destroying themselves, but he gets Megatron dead-to-rights with one of his lines during the fight: "All you know is destruction, you will never build an empire."

Megatron kills Prime, only to be blasted off his feet by Starscream, who challenges him to meet him in battle. Megatron recovers, and with the help of the protagonist, goes to meet that challenge.

Sure is strange, then, that the protagonist arrives first.

I pointed out before that Megatron hangs back a lot in this game. He sits around when his weapon chip is taken, despite a much weaker bot getting his own chip back himself. He hangs back when the other Decepticons depart from Hoover Dam, enabling Jazz to get the drop on him. He gets distracted by Optimus while the rest of his troops are actually fighting to reclaim the cube. And now, despite leaving at the same time and almost certainly having the faster vehicle mode (the protagonist is usually a helicopter at this point), Megatron is nowhere to be seen when the protagonist reaches Starscream.

This Megatron consistent leads from the rear. He hangs back, sends his soldiers in first, and then arrives to finish off the enemy after the fact. He's a long way from the bold, straightforward 'bot that Barricade describes.

The protagonist manages to wrest the Allspark away from Starscream, and slams it into his chest, but unlike in the movie, it actually only injures the protagonist, while Starscream only seems to get more powerful. Megatron finally shows up, and eventually manages to deal a fatal blow to Starscream. But Starscream remains defiant to the end, there's no grovelling or pleading for mercy, he just spits that there will always be someone to challenge his rule. Megatron dismisses that threat, and consumes Starscream's spark too, killing him, but destroying the Allspark in the process.

Megatron returns to the injured protagonist, who expresses relief at their victory, but mourns over the loss of Barricade, Blackout, and Brawl (his line "Barricade and the others..." is what leads me to assume that Brawl is also dead), only for Megatron to dismiss them, saying that if they were truly Decepticons, they would've survived, equating them to "a rust that must be stripped away," before including the protagonist in that number. The protagonist says he could be repaired, but Megatron refuses, calling it a waste of resources, and proceeds to tear apart and devour his last living soldier.

Barricade never knew where he truly stood with Megatron. None of them did. He believed that, in dying for Megatron, in valuing his loyalty to his leader over his own life, that he was a true Decepticon, only for Megatron himself to equate him and his fellow loyalists to basically a robot skin rash, and say they were never really Decepticons because they died. The protagonist is instrumental in Megatron's revival and his victory, he could very easily have followed Starscream's instruction and killed Megatron in his sleep, but that show of loyalty isn't enough. Surviving the backlash of the Allspark's destruction isn't enough. He's "weak," so he's disposable.

Barricade, Blackout, and Brawl are fanatically loyal to a violent monster that sees them as expendable tools at best, and have convinced themselves in their heads that he's this great, honourable warrior who speaks to them honestly, but he's just as much of a dirty fighter as Starscream, if not more so, and he doesn't care about any of them. And they pull the protagonist into their way of thinking, tell him that their way is the true way, and it's all wrong. If the protagonist had stuck by Starscream, they would've won and reclaimed the Allspark. Megatron, Barricade, Blackout and Brawl would die, but the faction as a whole would win.

The overall goal of reclaiming the Allspark is rendered impossible, basically because Megatron and co. didn't like the guy that achieved it, and so they die like bugs hitting a windscreen until Megatron kills him and destroys the Allspark forever. The Decepticon empire that Starscream has held together for thousands of years is doomed to crumble as its leader is killed and replaced by a rabid animal with cannibalistic tendencies.

Megatron wins the final battle, and claims victory. But his plans are ruined, his soldiers are dead, at least one of them by his own hand, and the Allspark is forever gone from his reach. He is a king of nothing, and it's blind devotion to him, and inability to accept a better alternative on the part of his followers that results in the ending being what it is.

[cursed-40k-thoughts]

What are your five favorite swords in the setting? If that’s way too specific how about five favorite melee weapons. And why?

I can do melee weapons, sure. In no particular order.

Warscythe. I like polearms, I like Necron stuff, and a bigass glaive that is so obscenely dense, energised and heavy that it can survive an orbital strike is magnificent. It also shows off how strong Necrons are (and Necrontyr lychguard were, given they apparently wielded them). These things are heavy, ridiculously heavy, and are swung with ease by the Necrons.

Eviscerator. I don't think this one needs much explanation. It's a huge, two-handed chainsaw sword. Superb. Also, I like that they sometimes have an additional displacement field around them so that they cut while they cut.

Thunder Hammer. I really like hammers and mauls. I like chunky weapons. I like things with impact and heft. A hammer crackling with energy that forcibly explodes/smashes/rejects matter will always be a win for me. Mass and Graviton hammers also go in here. Special shoutout to Fomadurhamar/Foehammer for literally being a 40k Mjolnir.

Leviathan Siege Claw. Does this count? Big anti-fortification claw that can punch through solid rockrete or cut a guy in half. Very iconic and imposing looking. Though, if you were to specify "infantry only", then I'd say a power fist. There's something very comical and primal about slapping someone so hard they explode. Special mention to Endryd Haar's Terawatt-pattern gauntlet that allowed him to fold terminators like aluminum.

Obsidax Blade. Rounding it off with an actual unique weapon, the hyperphase sword wielded by Kutlakh the World Killer. A jet black blade so utterly radioactive that it interferes with the light spectrum around it.

Better late than never... ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

I have to admit that many times, besides feeling tired, I give in to rest and therefore no longer do everything I said I was going to do buuuut... I also saved the activity for the last week of July because... P.S. It seemed more congruent than doing it halfway through and I didn't want to miss out on participating in SoMa Week. So... Here it goes:

1 Day: Saints - Angel

POV: Soul

POV: Soul

Short explanation: The day Maka gave birth to her firstborn, she knew she had no choice. She stood before the angels of her life, the only ones who could kill him and bring him back to life with a single word and a single look.

Long explanation: The topic of how Maka decided to become a mother is complicated, and Soul (better than anyone) knows this. Perhaps that's why, when Maka decided to take the next step in her marriage and thought it was time to become parents, Soul began to see her as a true angel, not only for giving him offspring (I have the headcanon that Soul is one of those reluctant men who brags about being an eternal bachelor... until he starts dating Maka. It's then that marriage and family don't sound as bad as he once thought they did, but that's a separate topic.) but also because the pregnancy was complicated for both of them. However, he knows that for Maka, it was twice, if not three times as exhausting and terrifying. Although their pregnancy is something I plan to explore more in-depth much later, I just want to clarify that Maka became a strict but extremely loving mother. I think something in Maka's heart and soul changed when she saw her daughter in her arms for the first time, letting go of the terror and uncertainty, and she cried because she couldn't understand her mother's abandonment, like Medusa's abuse of Crona.

2 Day: Trouble (Double Trouble)

(My favorite of the three drawings, I admit)

I didn't mean to be too literal with the theme: At first, I thought Soul would be complicated by not knowing which pack of sanitary pads to bring Maka, and while it's a theme I find interesting (learning to deal with your female companion's problems when you don't have sisters and were isolated from the world) and one I'd like to explore, in the end I decided on something less... Hmm, expected?

What if Soul and Maka were the villains of the story? What if they switched places with Crona and Ragnarok?

I think: throughout the work, it's emphasized that Soul would be nothing without Maka and Maka would be nothing without Soul, and that together, they are powerful, so if both were the villains, it would be an unstoppable danger.

I can imagine a Crona studying at Shibusen, loved by her loving mother Medusa, a DMWA nurse, dreaming of one day becoming a great technician, with an anomalous ability that allows her to harbor her partner within her body (Ragnarok), and who, by chance, ended up confronting this couple inside the church in Italy.

A meeting that almost ended in tragedy.

It's a story that I would like to develop further, I think I have already thought about the end haha

3 Day: Charm

I got this idea from a Spanish fan fic, more specifically: "Novios por ahora" by Guardia Fuego on Wattpad.

Spoiler alert: Soul is discovering his feelings for Maka and suddenly realizes he's always watching her read from afar.

I never pay attention, but I'm always captivated by her, by the attention she pays when she reads, when she starts to babble paragraphs, and... How beautiful she looks when she concentrates.

That's all for today. I'll upload three more on Saturday, and the final one on Sunday! 💖

Although I'm not sure yet about the final one. Of the ones I'll upload soon, I have a favorite drawing that I'll definitely convert to digital.

[batterysoup]

Stex 1988 reactions, but I decided to do this in the middle of watching it so there is no order only chaos.

Thought Belle said "I take their teeth" in her song, and had to look up the lyrics because I lived in a world where she was a possible evil tooth fairy for a moment.

Did not realize that the lyrics for CB changed to the Robinhood verison only 4 years after the show started!

Poppa punched tf out of Bobo he was not playing

The prescence of the narrator for the races implies to me that control watches other sports and decided yeah that's how sports work they all have a commentator

I think normally he makes someone comment for him when he's playing races

Belle you are my favorite coach idc that I thought you were maybe a murderer for a second

Greaseball being mean to Dinah makes me so sad I made an image of him being hit with hammers

Image of hammers and rest of post below the cut

Everytime he's mean to Dinah im gonna add another hammer.

My favorite bit of any starlight show is the part where dustin and rusty team up for racing before dinah absolutely disses Electras lack of dic- i mean whistle.

I love this Dinahs southern accent.

I started this during Dinah dick diss track if you can't tell.

CB laugh in this is delicious.

I know you are not in it "just for me"CB you want Electras nonexistent whistle

DUSTIN I LOVE YOU!!!

The components electronic voices are so jarring in this but also happy pride month to them.

The races are so clear in this compared to anything else

Greaseball keeps fumbling women left and right as always

I love you trucker CB

Dustin and Rusty are literally just doing a good job meanwhile the rest are being so dramatic.

THE ANALOG HORROR OF IT CUTTING OUT SOMETIMES

One rock and roll too many??

no what NO COMEBACK?!?

I did not know there was footage of no comeback omg

"OUGH!" you tell them Electra

Oh this verison of the song is so angry compared to the album ELECTRA IS PISSED good for them

I see where the grunting and moaning in later productions AC/DC came from now

The components slayed that good job, guys

I know what you are Caboose

I know what you are Greaseball

Oh, they already changed it too, "my pants are too tight" instead of shoes too woah

"And you've got no chance!" THEY CHANGED MORE LYRICS I DIDN'T KNOW OOOOOOO

I feel like in one rock and roll too many if I, an asthmatic, can do the long note at the end then it isn't long enough

Not that shorter versions aren't good i just think it's fun when it's ridiculously long how do they do that

GAY GAY GAY GAY USING EACHOTHER AS A SEAT GAY also cool choreography move

Pearl realizes she wants to smooch rusty

I think she's relatable cause yeah decisions hard and it takes forever to figure yourself out. She represents us indecisive people.

I love how happy she is he won! And how worried she was she made him lose breaks my heart. She was in danger but she still wanted him to win so bad! Even when she was racing with someone else!

STOP THEY KISSED AND IT CUTS OUT MORE

there kiss broke the camera

This control voice is good

Does the megamix exist in 1988??

Greaseball is hurt but CB and Electra are fine lmao I love this silly musical

S o r r r y - poor women fumbler 3000 can't even spell he's such a fumbler hes never had to

Poppa preaching

STOP IT CUT OFF LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

Other bits I didn't mention Ashley I love you I am sorry they killed you

Could not tell who but Greaseball and Dinah pushed two people off stage between pumping iron and freight is great ?

Why does Flat-top hate his dad's fuel type i need an explanation

My head canon is it's very much an ugh your so old and im cool and young and know way better and my cool grease goon friends are all diesels

I think they fight at family dinner about Flat-top doing rebellious teen things with the grease gang

Poppa is like you are 30 years old stop-

Okay, reactions over!

[todayisdeadinside]

How do you explain the fact that harry still hasn’t spoken up about what’s happening to the LGBTQ+ community in Europe and the U.S.? He hasn’t even worn anything in support, like a “protect the dolls” tee or anything like that, hasn’t signed anything publicly, and just stays completely silent on it.

There are only two possible explanations: 1.He doesn't care because he's just an ally and not part of the community, or 2. His support is performative, don't you think?

there's far more than 2 possible explanations, anon.

harry is on a break right now, and he has been for quite some time. he's not required to publicly address social issues at any time, but especially when he's taking time to live his private life. activism does not and should not be a 24/7 job, thats how people burn out and give up. people need breaks, and harry is on a break from publicity in general, spare a few fan pics here and there.

first of all, he's not an ally, he's queer. his "allyship" isnt performative, hes literally queer. hes also closeted, which is an important factor to remember with what he can and cant speak about, especially when tensions are high surrounding the topic of the LGBTQ+ community. saying his support is performative because he hasnt shown it publicly recently with a tshirt or signing is ridiculous. you're literally saying you WANT him to perform allyship in a way you can see clearly.

we don't know what harry is doing behind the scenes to support LGBTQ+ causes right now. with his status as a closeted man under heavy image contracts, he probably cant say anything too loudly when tensions are high like this. right now, his activism is likely covert, things like anonymous donations and anonymous support he cant tie to his Harry Styles (TM) name because of whatever image control hes under.

"but he could show public support a few years ago-" things have changed quite drastically with general public support for the queer community in recent years, and his management is very likely wary of allowing harry to say certain things right now. is it good? no, but the intense image control harry is under is never good, so at least its nothing new.

and again i reiterate that hes on a break from most work and publicity beyond chance interactions with fans and stalker pics, maybe a recent pap walk or two with people hes contracted to be around. hes been silent on recent social and political topics because hes been silent in GENERAL recently, and hes allowed to be silent. hes allowed to focus on his break and personal life, he doesnt always need to be performing support for good causes in one way or another for you to see.

im queer. i havent worn a "protect the dolls" shirt or signed anything recently, because im focusing on my own peace lately and trying not to get too emotionally invested in the state of LGBTQ+ rights since it significantly negatively affects my mental stability. does that make my support of my own community "performative"? no, of course not. harry is also queer and also clearly focusing on himself right now, and him being famous doesnt negate his right to that private time, even ignoring his image control and carefully curated image.

so actually, anon, there's about a million less bad-faith conclusions to draw from harry's general silence lately, and jumping to the worst ones is, well, shitty. i hope this gives you better perspective.

I can only conclude that the reason arthur was so blind to merlins magic was because he couldnt actually have a coherent thought around him because he was so besotted and distracted by him

[designernishiki]

it’s kinda funny to me how that dumb scene in kiwami 1 of majima getting shot and left for dead in the harbor was basically just added as a half-assed way to explain majima not being around for a bit of the plot, but they accidentally(?) just made it seem like start of a chain reaction where majima ended up feeling slighted and heartbroken after being abandoned like that and then lashed out about it via smashing a big truck into the building kiryu was in. and yeah that isn’t inherently a romantic thing as-is but then they go and add the part where majima grabs a hostess and performatively hits on her as in-kiryu’s-face as possible, she says she’s already in love with someone, and majima lets her go immediately, no questions asked, making a big fucking point of it just to say see THAT kiryu? I appreciate when people are HONEST about their FEELINGS. people who won’t just BACKSTAB someone who CARES about them to save themselves. is that so crazy kiryu?? huh??? anyway make it up to me get down here and fight me right fucking now

“white mourning.”

[we-love-lando-norris-over-here]

Do you think there is a sponsor/ contract/ money related reason for mcl to not post lando on main? Because f1 movie premiere precedes papaya rules or whatever, liberty media had made drivers show up specifically on a jet for this screening and red carpet. Mcl would need to have a real reason to look this stupid in front of Stefano Domenicali…

Or maybe the comms dept just didn’t get the memo😂😂😂😂😂

I don’t think it’s about leaving Lando out. I think it’s more about keeping Bottlestri in.

Lando had to be there. Someone had to represent McLaren. I’m pretty sure each team was expected to send someone, and while most sent both drivers, McLaren, Redbull and Mercedes didn’t. In Merc’s case, Kimi said he had exams (fair enough), and Max hates this kind of stuff so no surprises there, but I digress.

McLaren probably cooked up some fun little excuse for why Bottlestri couldn’t show. I have my own tinfoil theories about why, but none of my theories are the kind of excuses you can give to the CEO of the sport you're racing in.

And since their entire media strategy revolves around pushing the landoscar narrative, or better yet, just Bottlestri on his own, Lando showing up alone wasn’t worth posting about. No Bottlestri, no content. Maybe if he'd worn that necklace with the McLaren logo they might have felt tempted (if only to show everyone the necklace, again), but who knows 🤷🏽‍♀️

I do wonder what they told Domenicali. Like hey, sorry, we’re skipping PR for the global film premiere meant to grow the sport because our other driver couldn’t make it, and we didn’t want one half of our PR "sibling duo" on our socials 😂

[tubbytarchia]

Points at my pinned message. There's a message there in bold. I'm sorry I don't clarify that I'm talking about CHARACTERS ONLY in posts that I don't maintag. I presume if you're on my blog to see these posts at all, you would already know as much. CHARACTERS please... just characters.... I've acknowledged that CC Jimmy is not bothered by the bullying many times. I'm very aware... I'm talking about characters......................

trevor saying "this is about you loving all the attention" ........uh. well yeah obviously...... did you miss the part where ian was abused and neglected growing up? do you expect him to hate the attention he got? i need you to be so fr trevor

[dramas-vs-novels]

i'm pretty easy going, as long as they are not so stiff and unconvincing to the point of noticeable + the story is interesting enough -> i'm all good. that's why sometimes when ppl said this and that actor's acting are bad i genuinely cannot see it lmao

i do know when an actor is good. mmy's actors are solid, they embodied their roles in a way that i'm unable to see anyone else be phayu, rain, sky, prapai. do u think dmd actors can act? (this ask is brought to you by someone on twitter said jimmy and ohm's acting were terrible)

I don't want to get into fandom drama, I just enjoy what I enjoy, I don't want to be some keyboard warrior. I went through that phase when I was a kid and it's just not any way I enjoy things.

I'm not going to argue with "someone on twitter" cross-platform, I'm not going to defend the resume's of every actor.

Some people like certain actors, some people hate certain actors. Some people have a standard they want everything held to, some people just take things for what they are and roll with the vibes. I'm like you- as long as it isn't noticeable, the story is good, I'm happy.

Actors are out there doing their best. Some people will like it, some people will hate it. It's just life. I love most of the DMD shows I've seen (I'm tepid on Why R U, it's fine, it feels like every Taiwanese show I watched in the late 2000s). I like Jimmy and Ohm. That's all I care about.

All actors are people doing a job to the best of their ability. It's natural that job puts them under massive scrutiny and people want to pick it apart and have their opinions, but I don't want to get involved in all of that. I just want to enjoy it.

Let people working hard at their jobs have a break. All actors deserve grace.

[gu6chan]

oh yeah!!!! forgot to mention this is my last day at work :') honestly the pay wasn't the greatest (not complaing though, this is a public position and it was certainly enough to get by) but ngl this was probably one of the most enjoyable jobs ive had 😭❤️ for a ridiculously conservative population like this im glad they seemed to enjoy the numerous marxist solutions to all their problems getting slid in under the reasoning of "community/small town values" and "neighbours having each other's back" and 5 minute small talk about how taxes work at the line in the grocery store lmao

[r1pmyh34rtup]

I hate talking to my mother nothing even really happened but I’m confused and stressed now
