i'm having more life series! scar thoughts. there was an impulse hc stream not that long ago where they were chatting about the upcoming series, and when the topic came to scar in the games... "scar becomes the worst in these series, scar betrays everyone" which...probably would be warranted, if we were fresh off of secret life. but after wild life? scar seemed exhausted with that persona, and more and more desperate and frustrated when any attempt at helping someone would be met with doubt and derision. not like he was a saint that season, but his shadiest acts (the death coaster, the cheap kill on grian) really aren't any worse than the average lifer. i think there is a very...doomed nature to scar's character in the life series. people have a very clear idea of Who He Is - built from a foundation imo, of mostly the first three games. a reputation so entrenched scar can't escape from it anymore. and because he's vindictive as all get out when he thinks he's being treated unfairly or being misjudged, he's only setting himself up to fulfill their expectations. any act of aggression will be seen as Villain Scar, despite the fact that most lifers have done their fair share of shady shit themselves. and all this, coming from skizz - hand to heart, i don't understand folks who say he's the most innocent of the life series. skizz won't let go of the heart foundation, but he's gotten his revenge and then some, and i think in wild life he proved himself more morally aligned with scar than he'd like to believe. skizz, who in wl! hunted scar down for a kill scar didn't do, when there was nothing to be gained from it. skizz, who was eager to destroy lizzie's bamboozler birds before grian dissuaded him. skizz revels in the same chaos scar often does. skizz, i think, is just better at finding a justification. better at spinning the destruction he already wanted to do as Right and Good. and because he's entering the games with the exact opposite reputation of scar, i wouldn't be surprised if they find themselves at odds yet again. scar does a villainous thing, because Of Course He Does. and skizz responds in kind, just as a hero should. (this is all character talk - hopefully that's clear :-) )

i go to the shop and I ask if they have any raspberries. they say no, they used to sell raspberries, but they haven't had any in stock in the last 15 years. I ask if there's somewhere else I can go to buy raspberries. They say no, with confidence and pride, they're the only shop around who has ever sold or will ever sell raspberries. Other shops might sell other fruit, sure, but they have a monopoly on all raspberries forever. I ask if they're possibly planning on them selling them again in future? they say they can't tell me that.

on the way home, I encounter someone eating raspberries. I ask and they tell me that they grow their own, they got some seeds from the shop back in The Raspberry Days and kept them. They take me to a field of many beautiful raspberry plants and invite me to pick my own, they're free for all the town to pick whenever they'd like.

someone comes up behind us. It's the shop manager, President of Nintendo Shuntaro Furukawa. he hatefully throws a bob-omb that blows up and kills both of us instantly for stealing 200 trillion dollars worth of potential Raspberry Shop That Doesn't Do Raspberries Anymore profits that they weren't making and then he turns around to the camera with a big thumbs up and says don't do piracy or something ok please

reddit being “too slow” and choosing to look at tumblr instead is the social media equivalent of getting tired of soda so you go snort some chemicals you found in a rusty barrel on the side of the road

"the early 2010s were better" no they weren't. "hey soul sister" was on the radio.
