technically alan wake 2 final draft (spoilers ahead) is a Happy ending for the characters, but the spiral writers room video calling his enlightened self a possible demiurge or demon unsettled me far more than the original ending. that version, by his nature, already existing and overlapping with past loops, influencing and manipulating things without known reasons (to us and the Alan we play). it really makes that Alan out to be something else entirely through ascension and that this is inevitable. this could partially be because I kept seeing people say that the final draft was the happy end with a happy resolution for everyone, but I can’t stop thinking about what this means for Alan—and Alice!—going forward. That, along with the direct parallels to Yötön Yö playing out. It’s SO much to unpack

Hiiii silly questions incoming:))

Firstly the same questions you asked me loll (because i wanna know these too): song you cant get out of your head? Trope you cant stand? And favourite tea? 😁

Also, what place do you wanna visit someday? What is a name you like (as in, it sounds pretty lol)? What is your comfort movie?

heheheh hi 💜 thank u sm for sending these!!

song i can’t get out of my head: i wanna get better by bleachers

trope i cant stand: love triangles (except if they all end up together 🤭)

favourite tea: raspberry!

i wanna visit norway some day!! the nature looks absolutely gorgeous.

i actually think aziraphale is such a pretty name 🤭 and also [jane] gloriana villanueva from jane the virgin has such a beautiful ring to it!

for some reason.. i’m not the biggest movie watcher? like i love going to the cinema and i used to have comfort movies as a child/teen but those… aren’t comforting at all anymore now and when i rewatch stuff, it’s mostly tv shows now? 🫣

Revelation: my whole life, when I've responded to sarcasm seriously, people have been like "uh...why you so serious... I was being sarcastic..." and it makes me insane because like... duh? Why am I not allowed to respond to sarcasm seriously? Why does it have to be treated as hOw DiD yOu MiSs ThAt I wAs KiDdInG? Basically: why is it framed as me failing when I absolutely knew it was sarcasm?

Anyway, this just happened with my wife (no shade, it's very rare with her as compared to like, my uncle, and I told her it made me uncomfortable, we're good, it was just the spur to the revelation) and I think I've realized why it happens and why it bothers me so much.

It's always framed as me missing something, but it's not.

I knew they were being sarcastic, and I chose to respond seriously.

THEY failed to interpret MY response.

Or: damn boy (genderneutral) sorry my Yes, And game is just SO FUCKIN SUPERIOR yall should work on recognizing deadpan. Skill issue.

the anon saying they didn't like third life did nothing wrong actually?? the forced positivity around hermitcraft is ridiculous and the ask wasn't rude or anything. grow up guys.

so responding to this is DEFINITELY against my better judgement but tumblr is not a place for good judgement so:

that was like three weeks ago why are you here

i made very clear that the problem was not that they said they didn't like third life. i am following and/or mutuals with people who don't like the life series or are salty about how the fandom is around double life and i'm like... fine with it. you're allowed to not like things. you're allowed to post you don't like things. while i personally prefer my blog remain mostly positive because i hate getting in arguments on the internet, i am an adult who is perfectly capable of interacting with people who disagree with me. not liking third/last/double life is fine and i don't care don't like it all you want and don't harass people who feel that way.

that being said, it is still rude to go up to a stranger (which, given that person was on anon, i can only assume they were a stranger) who you do not know, who is clearly visibly excited about something, and go "actually i hate it and i specifically hate the things you like about it" (coming into MY INBOX to complain about people writing angst like. come on.)

like you understand the difference here, right? you understand this is my blog and my space and the anon didn't have any particular right to get agreement out of me, right? you understand that the thing they did wrong was walking up to a stranger in a bar who was excitedly talking about this new show they like and going "ACTUALLY I THINK THAT SHOW IS PROBABLY ONLY ON BECAUSE THE ACTORS ARE BEING HELD HOSTAGE TO DO IT" and expecting to be like, applauded, right?

you understand that i also would have been in the wrong to go into their inbox (if i knew it given that they were on anon lol) and talk about how much i like third life, given that they'd made clear that they didn't, right?

also it was super weird of them to be like "and i hope the ccs aren't just doing it because the fandom likes it and i think it's taking away from hermitcraft" because as a vault hunters fan who's been in iskall's chat my response to that is still "lol fuck off idiot"

like, we understand my blog isn't a platform for your ideas, right? it's a platform for my thoughts. i don't publish like, at least a good 50% of my asks. mind you that's more because i'm severely adhd than anything else but also occasionally it happens when i feel like someone's just using me for notes or i don't agree with someone and i'm well within my rights to do that because this is my blog

we're understood here? we don't go onto other people's blogs and argue with them about the fact they do or don't like things unless they have actively invited that argument somehow? good? good.

anyway my friend pointed out you could be the same anon again which is entirely possible because i'm bad about blocking which if so: what did you think would happen either of these times,

[iguessitsjustme]

Finish watching Playboyy or Wedding Impossible?

At this point, I think you know me too well. Incredibly rude.

Anyway, I'd rather finish watching Wedding Impossible. For a few reasons:

The ending might suck but at least it has an ending

The audio production doesn't make me want to end the world

Even if I hated the characters and how they went about the relationships and how the show framed them, they at least made sense in Wedding Impossible.

Please never give me two gay wrongs again this was so hard.

i do have my sexuality pretty firmly figured out at this stage it just irks me sometimes bc it doesn’t fit as neatly into the box i’ve assigned it & i like when things in my brain r tidy so i don’t have to rehash them 500 times……

I've been hunkering down in Gundam Seed JP Twitter and it has been extremely enlightening, especially since I haven't rewatched the main series in a while. Things I forgot, things I actually remember but see in a new light...

Some people love/hate the new movie on there, but I've seeing a lot of people find it good - because it makes the point that 'Kira didn't actually heal from the events of Gundam Seed, and now that he's back on the battlefield without Lacus his sanity is hanging by a thin thread'.

A bunch of people pulling receipts on the discriminatory behaviours/opinions even Kira's friends had possessed unconsciously (in Sai's case, kind of... A bit more blatantly than most back when Kira didn't even pull shit, which had me hissing through my teeth...), the things that isolated Kira into thinking he has to handle things on his own (Tolle's death when he tried fighting by his side, for example), a comparison of behaviours between Murrue who gave him a bow of respect vs his friends who tell him 'we'll distract ZAFT as EA soldiers while you're on the refugee shuttle!' oblivious to the actual dangers because they were only ever on the bridge (haha,,,,, the fact this saved them even if it backed Kira into a corner,,,,,,,, ffffffuck)

Back to the movie, I've seen some mixed reactions about the second half, but!!! I'm generally seeing a lot of people looking at first half Kira and going 'my sad baby. my poor meow meow. get whumped.'

Again, this is all JP twitter, not EN, and definitely not the actual movie - but seeing people's reactions have been an entertaining ride.

@littleblackqrow: "You know, getting a shovel talk from your sister sure was interesting," Qrow said casually. There was a smirk on his face.

As usual, Qrow has opened his mouth and Winter has no idea what he's saying. Shovel talk? She knows it can't be as simple as it sounds, and that damned smirk-- 

"I know I'm going to regret this, but... what?"

there's something to be said about the very specific feeling of frailty you feel when you come face to face with just how little you've experienced. twenty-odd years on planet earth and you haven't really watched all that many movies. an unlived life facing an uncertain future. i do not know where to point the finger of blame because i live untethered from my past, floating in the present with no clear point of reference no clear definition of who i am or what happened to me and how i turned out the way i am (fucking. can you guess why five is my favorite game. insert that one lyric from that one modest mouse song.) but you're still here, and you can still learn, and you can catch up, but it still feels like you're a pitiful little nobody looking for excuses trying to explain why you're still new to the whole being alive thing. i've got a good head on my shoulders, though, for all that's worth, so i think i might be fine.

in other news, i watched scarface tonight. it was certainly a movie. don't really understand how the movie made it big, but it did have some damn good music. i mean, i don't know. i'm still learning about the world i live in. maybe it really is as much of a masterpiece as people make it out to be and i'm too dumb to see the reason why it's considered a classic. maybe i'm right. i can't tell at the moment. it's kind of a beggars can't be choosers situation - if you ain't watched that many movies, then you can't really be a good judge of quality. but, oh, well. it's one more movie watched. it's a win because i watched a movie. and i'll watch more movies.

Hey quick little psa if u come across someone talking about writing content for people who don’t intend to have children it is not appropriate to comment about how not having kids would be depriving whatever character or whatever character’s family of some vital aspect of living their life.

Nobody is owed children or grandchildren or nieces or nephews or siblings, and that kind of messed up thought process is precisely why I feel the need to write vent pieces about having the “no children” discussion in the first place

[yoohyeon]

Okay, so, I gotta ask about your Giselle hate. My only exposure to it was doing a piece from it way back in like Ballet I, so I know basically nothing.

Hahaha okay so this is like. the worst critique of Giselle ever so people who care about such things, look away

But anyway, my beef with Giselle is primarily that it’s boring and sexist and it just doesn’t really have redeeming qualities. Like it’s less racist than some standard ballets but that’s…really not saying a lot (lbr it’s only less racist because it’s not actively doing black face or cultural appropriation and instead is just “look at this jolly old time town of All White People bc immigration in Europe was totally never a thing before 1900.”)

Entertainment value is, of course, wildly subjective, but to me, Giselle drags through the first act and then cuts short the most intriguing parts of act 2. Giselle herself could be an interesting character, but none of the rest of the cast is really engaging. Albrecht is an adulterer taking advantage of his privilege as a wealthy nobleman and Hilarion is just a jealous dick who cares more about vindication than the girl he supposedly loves. The best part of act 1 was the version I saw last year where they had two actual greyhounds onstage and they were very very good dogs

Giselle’s story, in a nutshell:

Girl of Delicate Constitution is kept mostly housebound by her strict mother

Girl ventures out of her house and immediately falls for wandering philanderer

Wandering philanderer is revealed and Girl loses her mind with grief and then dies. From grief. (She has met this dude one (1) time)

Vengeful ghost ladies make men who have betrayed women dance until their hearts give out and they die

Friendzoned™️ dances himself to death

Wandering philanderer starts to dance himself to death but Girl (ghost now) pleads for him and ultimately saves his life

He lives happily ever after ig??

Like. That’s a shitty story!! Wtf! Why are companies still performing this every goddamn season!! The choreography isn’t even that good!! The music is fine but not spectacular! My god y’all!!! Make something new!!!!!

Sexism (& the Feminine Ideal of the Delicate Innocent White Woman) is, yknow, deeply ingrained in ballet and especially Romantic ballets, but Giselle could literally be replaced with a Really Neat Lamp/Flashlight and the story wouldn’t change. La Bayadere has so many problems but at least Gamzatti and Nikiya affect the plot; Swan Lake, again, has Issues but the storyline is compelling and the score is beautiful. Hell, the Nutcracker has a more engaging story with less sexism and it’s the archetypal problematic ballet! I’m not asking for a lot here!! I’m just asking for you to not be Worse Than the Nutcracker and Bayadere

There are so many great choreographers out there!! Hire them!!! Stop only hiring cishet white guys who wanna be the next Balanchine!!!!! Do better!!!!!

[caruliaa]

yk i think like. im trying desperately not to depress people around me w how close to doomerism i can veer but like. at a certain point its like. the effort and exhaustion that goes into maintaining just being alive in this world is not worth what comes from being alive and like. girlies we may have reached it. el oh el.

oh boy do I! ask game here!

3. What ideas come from when you were little

gods I need to remember what I drew when I was a kid... turns out I've always been interested in messing around with crayons n stuff! according to my mom bc I don't remember any of that at all. the only thing I remember abt drawing as a kid is 4yo me in my kindergarten class drawing a person portrait with only black brown and red for colors because all the other crayons were snatched up by the rest of the class. the teachers were debating putting my drawing on the wall at all bc of how shitty it was lmao. in the end they still put it up but in a far corner where u have to really look for it to find it. garbage but extremely funny thing to do to a 4yo I feel

but yeah I was basically a battery-powered animal of malice as a child lol. I actually didn't commit to drawing as the Thing I do until I was, like, 15yo? so most of what I started with were like, cardcaptor sakura and detective conan fanart. not a lot of connective tissue in there visual-wise. to my own recollection I don't have a "childhood dream" of being an artist or an art vision I deperately want to realise every since I was a babe whatever, I was just extremely bad at making shapes by conventional standard until I started liking very specific things and couldn't find enough of those things out in the wild, and then I started experimenting in my backyard. it's all very mundane and trivial like that, but I'm only some guy afterall

21. Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

uncle mod's TPOH I feel like is about as diametrically opposite of my personal styles as possible, but I think it slaps and I love looking at it. I also used to really love yuumei's art and still enjoy it now, even though craft-wise I detest doing that kind of glass-like "anime graphic" so to say rendering. anything hyperrealistic is also definitely outside of my wheelhouse, but when used to do more whimsical stuff I am a big fan of it, like with sun yuan & peng yu's "Fallen Angel" and "Teenager, teenager". I'm a fan of miku! and like 80% of her official visuals are things I would never want to draw myself in a thousand years! I like a lot of art and do very specific, if random, things.
