I hate the insistence in pushing Jason into the batfamily.

If he doesn't wanna go to dinner, he doesn't have to. If he doesn't wanna hang out with them, he doesn't have to. If he doesn't want to see them, he doesn't have to. If he doesn't even want to contact them, he doesn't have to.

It's so annoying to read fic and always see it presented as his Family Knows Better. Jason is just being silly by not realizing how much they love him and he just needs to let them break into his home and comms and life because they want him there.

i only really like the "grumpy x sunshine" trope/dynamic if it's done in a particular way, and it goes like this: the grumpy is emo over their trauma, and the sunshine one also has lots of trauma but their sunny disposition does not mean that they're any better at coping with it. which is to say that i am enjoying the golden raven so far. thank you nora sakavic

i think cis people are wayyyy too comfortable saying who they think is or isn't "really" trans. like idgaf how many trans friends you have, you don't get to speak on our experiences, period.

im takng this studio production class where one of the assignments was to fully develop a studio show (picture like quiz shows, news shows, etc. live television content) for production. wanna know what my dumbass submitted as a literal last resort because i had no original ideas?

a literal rehash of May I Have A Word. different name. different words (because girl ain't no one in my grade getting tripped up over the word perspire) and the works. no one ever knew. i probably commited plagiarism over the most niche game show that comes inbetween wordgirl episodes. hell. where i live (before i started pirating WG) i'd never seen May I Have A Word segments in my life.

no one suspected. no one said a thing. because who the fuck is gonna refer back to the word show segment that lasts one minute each? as far as they were concerned, it was an original idea, albeit odd in nature.

the production went smoothly ish, if yall were wondering. i didn't know when we'd start producing my show and came so unprepared that i was nervous the whole way down. i had to make cue cards out of the back of one of our rundowns. i was pacing back and forth. we had a bunch of trip ups. the graphics i had planned out wouldn't export to the (very old and odd) software that we use for graphics. so like. totall zoinked out, but it worked somehow! it was my first time manning a show and also playing as the host. so like 8/10 for effort.

yeah so that's how May I Have A Word saved me in a class. the entire damn show. i had to alter a few things though:

3 rounds bc the show is like 7 minutes long

im too unprepared to make videos for every fucking definition (look guys i finished the entire assignment in one day after procrastinating. bare w/ me) so i skiped that and replaced it with example sentences.

doing retakes is weird in these shows bc you kinda already know the answer....

obviously as mentioned before i had to look up harder words for the challenge to be hard. so yeah learnt new words too

2 contestants instead of 3 for reasons relating to classroom resources

the prize was a tim hortons giftcard because thats all i had in my pocket (literally) and i was once again unprepped for the shooting day

so uh yeah thanks autism, turns out liking the word show was good for smth

i don’t even know why im so drawn to mugm. like yeah it’s probably bc he went so far in the pursuit of power that when hes finally experienced what it does and how it all turns back on him, he tries to amend himself. but it doesn’t work. because hes so deeply fixed into that role for other people so he will always be seen AS that kind of player to everyone else no matter what he does. and so he goes idc anymore i will do what I want and i will not care about being good or bad anymore. (this has been a long conversation already…)

… so it can’t be just that bc it’s so simple and straightforward and smps now fall into a much more muddled category with strictly rp and strictly for fun/content. Because they want to mix the rp and content in a way that is less focused on story (like a typical rp smp) and more focused on Big Moments that are aided by a story instead of the other way around. it’s a weird formula that youtube loves so you’ll have a player killing others in a really cool way, and you’re supposed to feel vindicated for them because youve watched that player go through a lot to be able to do that.

and it’s frustrating to me because all of this is done for content, to show off the bliss gimmick/skill etc (for VIDEO RETENTION) so there’s the layer of what mugm is to the other players in bliss as well as another layer to what mugm is to US. and bliss streams genuinely are like static to my ears and i also get freaked out because they are twitch exclusive and i do not like thwat website. and they disappear after a week and unfortunately i do not have that kind of free time to sit down and watch those vods within a reasonable timeframe… so mugm will forever be a mystery to me which is kind of ironic considering his skin. (if they made a vods channel this problem would not exist #tbh)

every single time mugm is introduced in someone’s video it’s “hes the strongest player on the server” or on the strongest/scariest team etc etc. and he is always at the other side of conflict and since he is the antagonist he will always lose (in that video). Even in times where he’s winning, like objectively. (ex. wyll’s “killing players who have plot armor” <- which is crazy because the inciting incident that allows for wyll’s team to do anything is based on kae’s “might as well get some content out of this [going to vidcon]” and is not just out of server but also for CONTENT) this isn’t really a new concept bc you Want to have the protagonist win. youtube doesnt want to watch somebody lose and have no comeback or revenge because it doesnt make you hype or want more. Which is why soooooo many smp videos are always about “getting revenge on xyz” “how *I* xyz” and so forth. Like i don’t think this is subtle either it’s very obvious when you have repeated titles and events blur together.

when mugm challenges Tai for the mace, it’s so out of the blue (because it’s staged) and of course mugm loses (because it’s staged). when mane and mugm go head to head for the scythe, mugm willingly gives up the netherite sword and loses (because it’s staged). the only incident that’s stand out to me is when napa and mugm are fighting for the dragon egg, it’s NOT staged this time and tbh it says soooooo much more about them both. as people. But he still loses. because it’s a naparizel video and big time karma (ik for a fact he sweat his ass off during that fight. if not bc of the brotherhood raging so bad but bc he cheated so much LMAO)

that’s like only 3 incidents but it’s exactly the same formula (none of these are from the same smp btw), super rare one of a kind item and a big fight over it. and somehow it’s always mugm there. I feel like im supposed to get sick of him? im for sure sick of this formula but for some reason never the guy literally apart of it?

this got so much more meta than I intended to be and im kind of speaking into the void. It’s just really hard to find a conclusive and articulate answer for a question where everything that could support it can be explained away by stuff out of the scope of the topic at hand. maybe i like mugm because i like his voice and not actually him. and maybe his whole gamebreakers/brotherhood is just him orchestrating what would be the most interesting to watch instead of him actually. <- which is not out of scope but i feel like im running around in circles talking about this.

also i feel smps like these aren’t meant to have these kinds of posts about them but idec anymore this has been plaguing me SO BADLY

ok. someone’s gonna have to come get my dad or i’m gonna tweak.

it's honestly kinda funny to watch early fairy tail and how juvia and gajeel had most of the guild being really hostile and distrustful towards them pre-battle of fairy tail arc for actions that seem incredibly tame in comparison to the really, really fucked up things various antagonists did in the latter half of the series but got easy redemption arcs anyways for....reasons i guess

[jambamthepaperman]

THAT WAS THE END OF THE EPISODE???!!! THAT WAS FUCKING NOTHING THE ONLY PART THAT WAS GIVING WAS THE END WHEN AGATHA WAS BACK

[unopenablebox]

what do we think is the most low effort "observance" of "passover" i could do

[ihavethegrimoire]

There's so many characters in this fandom that I just want to love more because of how the fandom treats them. Like, damn a lot of things that get tossed around in this fandom are fucking cruel to people, to characters, to the creator. Like, of all the text posts I've seen today, only a handful came from like a decent place.

kinda sad to me that there's no truck bombing aus where bobby was on the truck and he's the one who gets crushed........
