objectively speaking the issues with lore olympus were so much bigger than just bad writing or wonky art. lore olympus was a promising but ultimately shallow fanfic, and honestly, no shame in that, we’ve all written stories and tropes that serve as wish fulfillment, more power to the cringe.
it’s that this series got so much money and time spent on it that it did not deserve - and that it really paved the way for other shallow and whitewashed series to become prominent. webtoons has only gotten more predatory towards its creators over the years, and that was helped in part by the success of lore olympus. which wasn’t even spared the same fate! for all the crap we rightfully put on rachel, there is no denying that webtoons squeezed that golden goose until it burst, and the quality suffered as a result.
clickbait sells, and lore was ultimately a flashy clickbait that just kept getting milked. the problem is that made it easier to stomp down on other creators and artists, and it made it easier to profit off of exploited mythology and culture. it’s a bummer ending that just adds on.

Younger me was somehow able to churn out a million words of writing about their ocs between the years 2009 and 2019 and then i started from scratch with (essentially) new ocs and plot, and I have only been able to write like 5000 words total in the last five years. I wonder if this is just a part of getting more exhausted by adult responsibilities or if I have lost the knack for writing. Did this happen to anyone else ?

in love with batman 138. this comic was made for me personally <333
bruce and jason angst!!! dick and tim team up against bruce - a return to their traditional dynamic!! callback to dick's origin story!!! dick and bruce fight!! dick and tim tag-team - tim distracts bruce so dick can keep breaking in!! bruce and tim fight!! callback to tim's origin story!! dick and bruce fight again!! dick loses it and tim holds him back - a return to their other traditional dynamic!! bruce is losing it completely!! except!! for a moment he hesitates - will he be able to come back from this?? dick and tim "hug" (okay not really. they got squashed in a net. let me have this). bruce and damian angst!! tim and damian hug!! (sort of. tim hugs damian, and damian allows this and doesn't taze him. look my point is this is very affectionate by damian standards!!) and then dick being the guy in charge!! and more jason angst!!
everything perfect. no notes.

calling it now - buck and eddie’s season 6 story will end with them (or them and chris, but i think just them, to drive the point home) on eddie’s couch. maybe we’ll have some more hints that they have both figured It™ out by then. but there’s no confession (direct or third party) and no kiss (that’s for season 7) just a quiet, soft and understated moment that simultaneously manages to be incredibly loud.
which is what 9-1-1 does best.

i actually cant get over it. why did he require so much decoding. why did she spend so much time decoding various men. why did she believe it was her job to decode them and know then. it just sucks dude like she thought that was the love of her life and it was just another guy who made her do work because of his commitment issues.

ahh... elena thinking that everything comes spontaneously and easily to lila in terms of how she carries herself like a sort of deity and then reading lila's notebooks and how many rewrites she has of letters and diary entries and...... cut to enzo saying he will stay with lila (meaning he will be there with her until she is ready to go) and her immediately asking "forever?" and he doesn't bother her with overanalyzing her slip-up or a vulnerable question dressed in sarcasm, whatever you call it (partially because he means it in a wider sense and partially because he sees through the facade... maybe doesn't even see through it necessarily, this is simply how lila is with enzo) and it's something about it there about how all of us exist as different people in the minds of everyone sure, but i'm particularly interested in those who love us here... and how that perspective can evolve in time. i don't think elena failed to understand lila, i think she even has a better understanding of the facade lila puts up (than enzo who sees right through it) due to falling for it from time to time in small ways. how you present yourself to the world says something about you as well and there is a special intimacy in understanding that about someone.

Fat Man on a Beach (HTV, 1974)
"I'm going to read some more poems now. Erm. It may be that if you want to go and have a cup of tea, this would be a good time. I know that's what you masses are like. The mention of poetry and off you go."

So, thinking 'bout those Trigun names, there. It is one of those animes where many characters are just ridiculously named. Vash = Vache (Cow). Millions Knives (*sporfle!*) - a lady named Rem who appears to Vash during his R.E.M. sleep...
By far my favorite name in this series was from the little one-shot comic about Vash's day-to-day life. I think he was unnamed in the 1998 anime, but I remember in the manga version, he was "Super Sonic Sodom the Great."
Just... OMG!

Ten days ago Schitt's Creek celebrated its first day on set. And like Kim's Convenience, I haven't finished watching its last season! I've perhaps watched a couple of episodes a year since the pandemic. For two reasons: first, because I can't watch without my sister and we don't live together anymore, and also because the Roses are family too, and I'm not ready to say goodbye!
