[rolandkaros]

they finally posted the karo one!!

[rolandkaros]

legitimately thinking should i make a mission impossible sideblog because i cannot stop thinking about these movies.........espionage propaganda but i cant help myself....i dont feel bad subjecting sports enjoyers to different kinds of sports but i feel bad making you read my 5th consecutive breakdown about ilsa faust..........

[rolandkaros]

rogue nation opera scene is the most beautifully perfect purposeful accident in the history of film making bc what do you mean they chose turandot at random.......

[rolandkaros]

pretty sure aryna is wearing paula's earrings...

[rolandkaros]

i hate this stupid fucking film so much man.......

[rolandkaros]

mhmm mhmm yep really nice uhhh tennis balls

[rolandkaros]

they made ethan hunt indestructible and then created the most insanely perfect character foil of all time and somehow she is also kinda indestructible until they decided she's gonna die to a guy who brought a knife to a sword fight...........

[rolandkaros]

do you guys thinks she’s being serious?? or just saying words 😔😔

[rolandkaros]

oh junior year is one of my favourites! i’m somewhat an intrepid heroes guy more than anything else, but i swear i’ll get round to the rest eventually (hopefully)

i Love the ship combat so much and i was so excited for it when they posed the steampunk, flying season. plus i love a good ‘my grandparent went missing and now i have to follow in their footsteps’ mystery. the parallels between olethra and marya only two episodes in is crazy

i’m like avoiding thinking about uso and beijing like SO hard rn. but she said she’s ‘nearly back at full speed’ so we hope for the best i guess. but yeah the strip of green is perfect!! and the old style outfit for her old style game… poetry

i'm loving junior year so far, i'm like halfway through! yeah i get overwhelmed whenever there's a lot of pre-existing content so i have to set myself a schedule when i'm watching so i don't get stressed out lmfao

prayyyying that 'nearly back at full speed' means the wrist is actually getting better and not just that she's getting used to playing without it..........but like optimism? we love to see it!

[rolandkaros]

crazy that one of ilsa's most vulnerable moments got fucking ken burns crossfaded

[rolandkaros]

ok that’s exactly how i felt when i saw your d20 post. it’s such a random crossover 😭😭

what seasons have you watched? in definitely very far behind as well. also cloudward ho thoughts so far?

i’m praying so hard that she play wimby and doesn’t lose first round, if only because she looks stunning in this kit (kind of can’t believe she’s wearing it when the shorts and tank option is right there though)

i've watched fantasy high freshman & sophomore year, starstuck, and the first season of unsleeping city, and im actively watching neverafter and junior year (and cloudward ho). my goal is to finish the intrepid heros seasons by the end of the year but i have no clue if that's gonna happen bc i can be very hot and cold with consuming media lol

i love it honestly, i love the dynamic of having maxwell and olethra be fans, its so much fun & i'm also already feeling so many emotions about the reunion of the crew like...just falling back in during combat of ep2...ugh i'm just very very excited to see that play out. also zac oyama galaxy brain for daisuke bucklesby honestly there's so much there to unpack. forgot how much i loved the ship/vehicle combat dynamics of starstruck but was once again reminded. the secret compartment was crazy, 10/10 no notes.

yeah im :/ idk how to feel. at least a r1 loss would be equaling last year's result lol but she's definitely not instilling me with confidence for the chunk of points she has to defend this fall...but for now let's focus on the wimby kit because it EATS

[rolandkaros]

lowkey was not dialed in for the end of rg so didnt see 90% of the discourse around aryna's press con until later but it is interesting to me that so many people are taking what she said to be purposeful discrediting coco when in reality i think aryna is just a player who spent most of her formative years with her entire playstyle being defined by how many errors she made and for a long time her biggest rival/threat was someone who was praised for being clinical/precise etc. and you wonder why she said 'if iga was playing in this match she would have won it'...like to be clear it was still not the right thing to say and blatantly disrespectful to coco and also not really true but i really dont think aryna was coming at it from the perspective of "coco didnt play that well i just played worse" but rather "i played bad and someone like iga would never have let this match slip"...like this is the second time she's lost a gs final to coco from a set up so naturally she's going to feel like she's orchestrated her own downfall...

[rolandkaros]

wait you’re a d20 fan??!! this is amazing i had no idea! have you been into it for a while?

yes and i genuinely laughed out loud the first time i saw you posting d20 stuff bc it's such a bizarre crossover

i haven't really posted about it because i only started watching like last summer-ish and i'm still making my way through the various campaigns and trying to avoid spoiling stuff for myself (but obviously no concerns with cloudward ho in that regard)

also i love ur new pfp omg......

[rolandkaros]

van & bert chapman basically.

Hiiiiiii. I don’t mean this in a pushy way or anything I’m just curious 😅 are you planning on coming back to your igaryna fic eventually? I know writing something multi chapter is a huge undertaking so I don’t blame you if not! I just was wondering :)

at risk of making promises i cant keep, i absolutely plan on coming back to (& finishing!) it. i've been in a super busy period of life right now and it's only getting busier, and i didn't feel great about how i was sort of doggedly writing/posting fanfic like my life depended on it because it a) took a lot of the fun out of writing and b) made the output a lower quality than i'd like.

i'm also hoping (big big emphasis on hoping) to get considerably closer to actually finishing the whole thing before i start posting again, just because i could also sort of feel the plot and the pacing spiraling out of control a bit. i know it's not something maybe that readers care about that much but i didn't want it to turn into something that just goes on and on and on with no end point...but in order to find an endpoint, i need to get further along in what i had intended on writing. unfortunately i have no idea what the timeline on that is, because the next six months of my life are super up in the air...i might be super busy or i might have a bunch of free time. but i absolutely do not intend on abandoning it entirely. even if i feel like i can't continue it in the long run i'd at least write a few more chapters to at least give it a proper ending.

i've also been debating putting all my fics on private so just a heads-up if they "disappear" in the near future i haven't deleted them!
