PLUCKY YOUNGSTER: oh no, it’s due tomorrow! what’ll i do…
KAZUMA KIRYU: mm? what’s wrong, kid?
PLUCKY YOUNGSTER: we’re learning about the ocean in class. i was supposed to write a report on the benthic zone, but… i fell behind.
KAZUMA KIRYU: (the benthic zone, huh? …lotta people interested in that, lately.)
PLUCKY YOUNGSTER: please, mister… could you help?
KAZUMA KIRYU: (not good for a bright young kid to fall behind in his studies… school’s the stepping stone for success in life.)
KAZUMA KIRYU: sure, kid. what do you need?
PLUCKY YOUNGSTER: you will? great! if you could just go down there and tell me what it’s like, that would be a great help!
KAZUMA KIRYU: ah.
KAZUMA KIRYU: (well, a promise is a promise.)

we need to bring back gamefaqs. i don't wanna join your stupid discord. i don't wanna use your ugly shitty fandom wiki. i don't wanna have to dig through poorly-organzied reddit threads. we want bespoke ascii header art! we want plaintext documents and guides with minimal clutter that are properly indexed and easy to navigate!
#the yakuza games all have extremely exhaustive gamefaqs guides written by one guy#they arent plaintext but they absolutely carry the spirit of those original plaintext ascii-art-laden guides#extremely thorough and straightforward with some quips from the author here and there#and now after being spoiled by those any time i have to look something up from any other series i get a headache#fuck your stupid fandom wiki!!! your ai-generated seo-chasing article that doesn't actually have the info im looking for!!!!!#fuck your stupid youtube video with an intro telling me to smash that subscribe button that's longer than the actual informational content!#the moment there was money to be made from making guides for video games they were doomed#but god bless those herculean few who still write guides purely for the love of the game (literally)

when i look up a knitting term, the last thing I want is an ai overview. I want a 60+ year old woman with no understanding of lighting or helpful camera angles who still manages to give the most concise and clear explanation of how to execute purl 2tog through the backloop. ai summary fuck off, where is phyllis?
#me with sewing#the side of youtube that's all nice older women posting tutorials for handicrafts is the purest distillation of what the internet should be

#the riku one always gets me#kh1 vs dark riku especially bc like. that is the EXACT same character.#'well you see the first model is from kh1 so thats just riku being evil and the second is from kh3 so thats dark riku possessed by ansem#who has time traveled to the future to be part of the prophesized 13 darknesses-'#<- statements by the utterly deranged#the really crazy thing is that if the 2nd one is meant to be repliku's kh3 model then its actually marginally *less* ridiculous#at least to me. imo time travel > clones on the 'stupid bullshit' scale

rb with whether people assume you’re older or younger than your actual age
#younger. by like a lot. which is ostensibly a good thing but also.#when the fedex guy asks me if there's someone over 18 home to sign for a package it does feel a *bit* insulting.

tumblr on the computer is actually so transcendent i feel that very few understand this anymore... this was the way that your ancestors blogged.
#the fact that most people use tumblr primarily/exclusively on their phone these days is so foreign to me#like 99.5% of my tumblr usage is on my laptop#i only use tumblr on my phone if i am EXTREMELY bored and all else has failed#i am also a massive hater of all things mobile though so this isnt a tumblr-specific thing

characters who have genuinely good intentions and motivations and care about their friends/companions while also lying to those same people with nearly every breath are like playdough to me- you can squish and stretch and shape them infinitely bc the question of "where does the lying end" can be applied to so many things and go so many ways and has basically infinite answers, so every time im presented with such a character i feel like a dog that's been handed a bone bigger than its head
#rambles#urianger my beloved. crystal exarch my beloved. herlock sholmes my beloved. [redacted clair obscur spoilers] my beloved.#there are so many different flavors to it too. it can be 'character was originally just using the people around them#but developed an attachment to them and now doesnt know how to confess that without losing them so they just keep the lies going'#(or they develop that attachment but still plan to use their newfound friends anyway so the lying just gets harder and harder)#it can be 'character knows their friends and knows their reaction to hidden information would ultimately lead to a worse outcome#so they lie to keep that information hidden'#it can be 'there are dangerous forces at play where even knowledge of that fact puts a person at risk#so character lies to subtly shepherd their friends away from the danger without informing them of it'#or even as simple as 'character lies to protect their friends from distressing information (even if they arguably should know about it)'#its such a fun dynamic. esp when the lying really is motivated by their care and concern for their friends#bc like they care enough to go to such lengths for their friends' sake and willingly put their relationships to those same friends at risk#for the sake of securing a better outcome for them regardless of what it means for themselves#so they DO care- but at the same time that course of action bespeaks a lack of trust in those same friends#they dont trust that they can reach the desired outcome if their friends know the truth. they dont trust that they will do what is required#and in certain respects that's an inherently arrogant way of viewing one's friends- arguably thinking you know better than them#but oftentimes theyre right! and the only reason theyre able to realize that is *because* they know those friends so well#its just so neat. and thats only one facet of it- there are plenty of equally fascinating questions to play with#'when does the lying stop being purely for the sake of the goal/their friends and start being completely self-serving'#'how much do they lie to themselves about it all and how much are they aware of that'#i like good character writing in stories :)

friendly psa/reminder: get your prescriptions refilled on time, folks
#rambles#i have been getting my ass beat for 5 days straight now due to my failure to heed this advice#let a prescription lapse for like 3 days and my entire abdomen said 'ok. fuck you then' and has been nothing but pain since monday#like i thought itd be fine bc everything i looked up about what happens when you quit this particular drug said it was basically fine#maybe some headaches and some mood swings or w/e but not much more#and yknow. i can deal with that for a few days#did not even know all this bullshit was even a possibility until it started happening#and then i did some digging and found some reddit posts/comments of people describing my exact experience#if id known this was even a remote possibility i would not have let it happen!!! this fucking sucks!!! some of the worst pain of my life!!!#worse still is the fact that it's still beating my ass even though i got back on the drug in question yesterday#most likely bc its extended release so its taking a few days for my levels to normalize again#so until then i survive only by the grace of advil & tylenol's combined powers
