I love offering Rory the choice between high-value snacks because she really does pick the one she wants in the moment. I rotate between three main snack types and the one she snubbed yesterday is often the one she wants today or vice versa. It's cool to see how the hierarchy of snacks changes in her heart day to day.

#dogblr #i try to give her as much agency in her life as possible #but being a city dog with no yard and an owner who works fulltime really does limit her choices #its so cool to me when she chooses a treat i fully thought she would reject #today she picked a goat horn which is high value but not usually higher value than a bully stick of beef cheek #its so fun for me to get glimpses of her inner workings #like wow!!!! this dog i spend every waking non-work minute with!!!!#this creature i nurture and care for and know inside and out!!!!!#she still makes choices that surprise me #its the fact that she doesnt consistently pick the same favourites i think #i wonder what she bases her decisions on #i wish i could actually read her mind #about aurora

I don't really know how to feel about the fact that Ahsoka has all these things that could help revive the Order, and she just doesn't share it with Luke who is actively trying to revive the Jedi Order. Like, Hyuang is with her as she goes on an intergalactic space trip, and she has holos of Anakin training lightsaber combat, which I would argue she doesn't really need.

And, idk, I wouldn't say it's selfish for her to have these things, that's not really fair on her, and I don't expect her to give them to Luke, but I do hope she shares that knowledge with him.

#i really hope she shares it with him #i dont expect her to give them to luke because hyuang can obviously make his own choices and the holos hold sentimental value #but i just really want luke to have something good of his father with him #some tangible proof that (aside from saving Luke) anakin was agood person #also why doesnt anakin visit luke on his adventures?#you're telling me Vader spent years chasing his son just to be absent when he dies?#anakin “son boy need son boy” skywalker haunts luke and delights himself in their adventures #ahsoka critical #this is isnt really abiut her as a character but rather just how strange it is to have a force centric show in the age of the new republic #and have luke skywalker missing #luke skywalker #star wars #pro jedi

you know, I don't really agree with Stephanie Sterling's review of Avowed. I'm not done with the game just yet, but idk. It felt kind of disingenuous. Like, idk the right words for it, expecting too much? It kind of just felt like she decided very early on it was bad and didn't really do much to try and gather anything to put up a counter point. One woman's opinion about another woman's opinion though.

#its healthy to disagree with people you respect the opinion of #I just think she's too harsh too quickly sometimes #I think the writing in Avowed is pretty good all things considered #it at least makes you stick to your guns with what choices you CAN make #from what ive played anyway #it doesnt feel like the Outer Worlds' 'make everyone happy third option' gameplay #so far Ive always felt like SOMEONE was going to be disappointed with what im doing #and I like it!#I also really dislike the point of 'its a game of tropes'#its an RPG like #how fresh should you expect every RPG to be?#also her bit about 'too many mushroom games' is wild to me I have no fucking clue what she's talking about #'its like the last of us there's mushrooms'#wha??#its just mushrooms #what are you on about #anyway #maybe I'll type up a review when I'm done #its no 10/10 by any meant #I think her rating of 6/10 is fine #Id probably give it a 7/10 where Im at now #but like #1-10 rating is a dumb scale because people think anything 5 and below is just 'game is bad'#5 is average #6 is above average and so on #I just dont agree that its a slog

this soundtrack genuinely makes me so emotional like damn. the jack vs fiona scene at the end of ep 2 is already so perfect and then they had to go make this beautiful as hell ost with it too. those bastards

#yeah im gonna gush abt the borderlands ost again #it slaps so hard and i dont see many people talking abt it SOB #but this one especially got me by the balls #cause it really adds to the intensity of the decision of whether you should trust jack or fiona #like you can feel rhys' nerves and conflicting emotions through the soundtrack alone #cause even tho you yourself know jack is Bad and fiona is the objectively good option you also know that rhys has a different perspective #fiona is a pandoran con artist which should be reason enough to not trust her (dude is NOT immune to hyperion propaganda)#but shes also tough and survived for 29 whole years WHILE ALSO protecting her sister so she's gotta be doing something right #and even rhys could tell fiona is very genuine. plus they set out to find the vault together so he kinda has to trust her at some point #but then theres jack who hes idolized for so long and hes literally in his ear telling him not to trust fiona #but trusting jack means giving jack way too much access to his cybernetics and even tho hes a massive fanboy hes also aware of jacks nature #and on top of this hard decision theres also a time limit. like he had to make this choice on the spot #IM TELLING YOU MAN THAT SCENE IS CRAZY. I GET GOOSEBUMPS THINKING ABOUT IT #and no matter who you pick at the end youre always like 'well. this doesnt bode well'#because youve either essentially given jack access to your brain or youve pissed jack off and neither of those are good #rhys was in a lose-lose situation there #txt

I genuinely will never understand parents who bitch about parenting. I have created a creature so beautiful that its very existence brings joy to everyone around her, when the (now three years old) bug waves at people on the bus I watch them stop frowning and smile in real time. She invented a song this weekend that just goes "cookieookiecookieookiecookieookiecookie!" She plays a game where a tiny invisible baby lives in her hands and she runs up to you with her hands cupped and you have to go "oh no!! The baby!!! And pretend to give it kisses. The nursery staff inform me that she did not eat all her lunch today but she did try to eat handfuls of sand. The nursery app tells us when she had a nappy change or ate all of her meals and sends us photos of her playing. Yesterday she wore a child's construction helmet and the note said Builder Bea is playing with blocks! And both myself and my husband texted each other to go "Builder Bea!!!"

Being a parent IS exhausting and hard and you'll probably never have money again and I fear for her future all the time but my god if watching the joy she feels at everything and seeing the world through her didn't fix something in me I had always felt broken.

#also its hard work and if you think being a parent isnt for you ABSOLUTELY dont do it #just cause i love it doesnt mean it should be a choice for everyone #i also love dipping chips in mcflurrys so you know #the bug #parenthood #idk why im emotional about this i see her every day but recently shes starting giving me big kisses when she goes off with my dad #and i miss her even if its a few hours #both me and my husband point at her and go #where did this guy come from??? fucking love this little guy

Not to bitch and moan abt Canto VI again but the fact they turned 'this man was treated like a monster from the moment he was taken in and objectified and dehumanised by everyone around him including (especially!!) his 'crush', breaking him down and dooming him to perpetuating the cycle of abuse' into 'this guy is essentially an overgrown teenager who can't communicate with his gf :((((( everything would have been okidoki if they just talked!!' does NOT sit right with me

#beyond the butchering of Catherine and everything she represents the way the events played out kind of. messed up heathcliff's character arc #imho #heathcliff and Cathy are intrinsically linked. if you fuck up the writing on one character the other will suffer big time #also taking a character like cathy who is wholly unapologetic about being self serving and self centred and #having her feel bad about not giving heathcliff attention #it does not sit right with me at all. doubly soo considering these are writing choices made post incelgate from last year's summer #I COULD accept Cathy being softer if KJH was transparent about the narrative value this choice brings to the table #bc i'm not seeing the narrative value! if someone can tell me what this brings to the table without saying that book accuracy doesnt matter #if it didnt matter I wouldn't be weirded out by it half a year later #lemonspeak

Oh god. OH GOD.

#vi rambling #the myriad celestia trailer. I'M. INSANE. I'M INSANE #it was so beautiful. the sun was certainly a choice but otherwise it was so beautiful #and tragic.#Not like I care. i don't care about how much he wanted the betterment of the people and how much he's fallen #and I don't care about all the icarus imagery or how they're using the same framing device he used on aventurine while interrogating him #or how full of raw emotion the voice acting is by contrast between the two voices I DON'T. CARE.#I'M SO NORMAL.#or the imagery of children because all of this stems from the dual influence of his childhood trauma #and indoctrination by wood. in that he wants to make sure no child would have to go through what they did. but their approaches #as in his and robin's. are so different. because robin wants her songs and presence to give the children the power to #manage to get through their troubles because shes so mentally strong. while sunday cant even bear to watch them #experience these harsh living situations in the first place because hes so traumatized and its only been reinforced by wood #because he also feels that the only way he can protect them is at the cost of himself because unlike robin #he doesnt see his personal value in helping others and thinks he must give up on living and work endlessly for that because his presence #isnt enough.#.......... sorry i just have many thoughts about these two they fascinate me #hsr

#its me and my bs again #otome isekai #i find the forced into a marriage trope kinda silly bc usually the other party is the most eligible bachelor in the kingdom and who should #definitely have tons of women throwing themselves at him if it wasnt for the author giving him negative eq #so that blandina mcselfinsert would be a viable option. but also she is forced into so she doesnt exactly have a choice but to fall in love #with mr tall dark and handsome #its like being sold to one direction. but for rofan

Not Tom King diagnosing the problem with his own run in issue #2

#well one of them #but it really all centers around diana not being a protagonist in her own story #also yes im reading tk ww right now. needed to happen eventually and ive found the best time is the middle of the night when im tired as #fuck and have the least shits possible to give #anyways its not good. doesnt have me raging like i was this afternoon w the absolute power waller garbage but rlly think thats the 2am #effect at work #as opposed to signs of quality #like i like poetic style narration but this is all so detatched from diana and her feelings about any of this #and all the dialogue is so wooden and awful like :/#“no thank you” me at this run #legit like sarge steel is the only one allowed to use contractions here or something #and the plot makes no sense with diana's character! the timeskip makes her look like a piece of shit because shes functionally done nothing #to help her people over the MONTH where theyre being massacred!#anyways at least the art isnt ugly. there are some things i dont like about sampere's choices but hes no 90s benes or deodato thank god #that would be my final straw /j. i dont have straws rn thats the point of this read. turning off the part that cares 👍#im sure theres worse ww comics somewhere. but this is not the vibe for me clearly #but i will read bc why the fuck not and also i love diana too much not to at some point #blah

Susan's what if scene in s6e11 makes so absolutely sick, nauseous and angry.

#desperate housewives #i know everyone's gonna reply to this that it's just normal fatphobic 2000s shit #but it pissed me off in particular right now #this woman has been getting on everyone's nerve about how mike is her soulmate and they are drawn to each other and meant for each other et #and i mean ok i get it i dont need to like her plot lines i can tolerate this bullshit #but her part in this episode was basically just: in this timeline mike wont fall in love with u. cuz ur fat #i know the message was suppossed to be bc susan couldnt really stand up for herself and give up life without karl #and in the end she realizes that as she sees how mike is happily married (?) with a baby coming #but the way it is visually told its just saying that susan still falls for mike #and he doesnt fall for her and the way he plays it its clearly because of her wait #*weight #let alone the fact how terribly that was made with the fat suit and the exaggerated way her face was made bigger #fuck you whoever did that #also the choice of putting her in way too tiny clothes to make it more obvioud that she's... well fat #she fat hahaha dont you see it?? he clothes are waaayyy too small and she us wearing flat shies instead of highheeld bc she's FAT AND UNSEX #fuck you 2000s fatphobia #this was longer that i intended it to be #tw fatphobia #cant believe a ranted about a desperate housewives episode on tumblr

i dont want to fight raphael, i genuinely dont care if he wants the crown but also gale wants the stupid thing and i cant tell which balaerra would care more about

#ugh!!! why is This the choice that gives me difficulty #i dont want balaerra to be 'oh i made one bad choice but everything else i kept nice' sort of character ive genuinely been trying to play #how she would think in the moment. but god. i dont know!!!! weve made a deal with a devil and she didnt really care #but now this dude wants the crown. cant i just encourage him to spend the rest of his life trying to recreate it or smthing smh #why does he have to be smart. why cant i go 'well i cant give you the crown bc i will be turned into a coin otherwise #but ill totally support you in making a new one i promise 🤞'#balaerra wouldnt push him to reconcile with mystra!! she doesnt care!!! augh

My cat is so suddenly distressed that she can't sit on my chest while I sleep. Has her own bed, a heated blanket, could also sleep anywhere else on the bed.

But no, she will climb and cry and try to clamber over/through any obstacles to reach my chest.

Honey I am having surgery on my chest in a few days I wish I could explain to you how bad of an idea this is.

#she used to sleep at the foot of the bed!#thats been her spot for years!#but noooo now she HAS to sleep on my chest #i put my hand in her path and she tried to push through it with All her strength #like maximum dramatics here #claws out and dragging herself across the bed like shes trying to get out of water except its to lie on my chest #currently been placed on the floor and after about five times of jumping back up is just resorting to the absolute saddest meowing #...this is the same cat that wails if i dont pick her up and hold her like a baby to be fair.#she doesnt take no well #and she gets outraged when i enforce the no and dont give in #as she currently is #i realise it makes no sense to her but her sudden choice of wanting to glue herself to my chest makes no sense to me either

really really annoyed at the costuming in this scene. cordelia, in the script, VERY specifically told buffy "no black, silk, chiffon, or spandex, those are /my/ trademarks" to dress for the party. cordelia does indeed arrive in a silky dress, though it's very bright blue and covered in flowers. and buffy shows up in a simple BLACK dress

IT WASNT A LONG LIST!!!! WTF!!!

#like we didnt get a line from cordelia complaining about buffy stepping on her turf #i could see biffy ignoring her commands but buffy is clearly VERY insecure atm!!!#she is actually relying on cordy a bit!!!#and cordelia would speak up about a perceived slight!!!!#buffy could just as easily wear the exact same dress in dark green and it would fit well enough into her usual style #without stepping into cordy's professed wheelhouse #or even pink!!! highlight her awkwardness and innocence!!! use her clothes to reflect out childish and out of place she feels inside!#give her red because she's trying to be sexy/put her heart on the line and is failing!#blue because she's trying to project calm and collected!!!#yellow makes me think of joy but also of unsteady anxiety. she's twisting her hands. doesnt know what to say or where to stand #doesnt know of she's made the right choice being there. seeing someone other than angel #theres so many options why did they do blackkkkk

i will forever be mad at pb for not only making Wes' romance arc end in a cliffhanger w his dad being in town but also retconning basically everything that happened in prime and putting him back into the love triangle w Autumn and Julian

#i did not give a shit about the wes-autumn-julian love triangle in prime and i do not give a shit about it in choices.#also i dont give a shit about Wes and Autumn's relationship in surviving high school either #granted i havent been able to play the storyline that actually features it yet. but i still dont care anyway #possibly bc i played hss prime first and tbh Autumn is kind of a nothing character in it #like shes sweet and i like her but. she doesnt have much of a personality #& that made me really not care about the love triangle at all #also bc Wes is dating my mc and there are very few moments where characters dating each other actually effect the plot #so it makes the mc feel like theyre third wheeling their own relationship #its less obnoxious than if the mc is dating Nishan but still
