Also just me griping into the void about other randos but I feel like some critiques of spiderverse, specifically that characters like Noir or Porker aren’t getting development, kind of miss their function as part of a supporting cast, and the fact that their development, is there is any, often appears as a supporting cast rather than through each individual. Like if you spend too much time giving scenes to characters who aren’t as important to the themes the story wants to explore, you end up detracting from the depth of your titular characters.

The Tragedy Prayer
"Let us offer up a prayer to those who have perished in this nightmarish act of cruelty today.
And I remind you all, once again, that we pray not to God, but to ourselves; to sharpen our minds and to focus our wills.
Our Power, which burns within Us, exquisite be Our Might.
Our Kingdom come, Our Will be done, on Earth as it is within Us.
Give Us this day our fondest wish, and improve ever upon Us, as we strive ever to improve Ourselves.
And lead Us not into corruption or malaise, but give Us strength to persist in the face of adversity.
Lives have been taken needlessly from Us by a loathsome lost soul on a mission of evil.
May the sickness of this rotten death-urge vacate Our collective Being.
May the exploiters of tragedy find that their words turn to shit in their mouths.
May the deniers of tragedy find that they are denied mercy until they repent.
May the cruelty of this world be alleviated by the love and fellowship and brotherhood and sisterhood and siblinghood that We may find in Ourselves.
To love One Another and to serve One Another and to serve those that love Us.
And may Those whose souls are on this day scorched with pain and anguish find Their way to the balm of kindness.
Let Those who have been so darkly touched by the worst of humanity see now the best of it.
And may Our differences be cast aside, and all the bullshit cut through, until all that is left is the truth.
Let it be so."
-TJ Kirk (May 2022)

Actually thinking about how I have always been an Abigail Williams apologist not because I support all or even most of her actions in the book
But because when we read it my senior year of high school I was one of a handful of students to go, “whoa, a grown married man had an affair with a sixteen year old girl and now he’s blaming her?” Like different times and all but especially as the book went on, everyone talked about Abigail as just a manipulative lying whore bitch trying to ruin a Good Family Man’s life
Which I’m sure has no relevance to anything these days
Coincidentally this was about three months before the #metoo movement hit

Actually okay - the more I play and discover in TOTK the more it feels like an amalgamation of all the little tone theming and aesthetics of previous Zelda’s have been woven into the BOTW formula

over the course of this beauty and the beast/disney music hyperfixation many [youtubers] have talked about the evil tim curry pipe organ and the french bernadette peters tree topper angel, but nobody prepared me for jeff bennett aka johnny bravo aka kowalaki, the tall penguin of madagascar, voicing an axe with the hammiest yiddish accent i have ever heard.
