Note: Only countable points are calculated here. No money and the like amounts or uncountable (ie zillions) points are included. When points were given in a range of numbers, the highest amount of points was added to total score. Points may be off by a few thousand. I have a life, so I multitask.

The points do not matter, but I did this anyways.

jack coming back, showing pics of the crime scene to will AND molly, pressuring him to come back and molly telling him that she would be satisfied knowing he did the right thing and that he should go and Will actually going made me actually shed a tear.

The most important person is you, Pun. I value you above all others. It might feel strange but you heard me right. I can do everything for you. Just listen to me until the end. No matter what you say, don't worry, I can accept it all. I told myself since the day you were born, I won't let anyone hurt you. Let me be the only one to get hurt. I didn't want to be dramatic. I just want you to know I'm willing to do anything and I won't question it. Don't blame yourself from now on. You've never been a burden to me.

it's not fully setting in that the show is actually over and i'm probably never gonna see belos animated in any official way ever again and i'm not ready for it all to hit me like a bag of bricks. :(

[iguessitsjustme]

i'm rewatching that show you're taking a poll on and taking notes and you know it's deeper than i thought it was, which is a nice surprise? like. oh, there's real substance there. despite the fact that i have to blush my way through the entire thing, haha

Oh my dear anon. Hello. I put that poll under a read more and I said "don't ask questions you don't want the answer to" twice for this very reason.

I stopped watching only about 2 weeks ago so I haven't missed out on that much so far and you've kind of hit on the main reason I dropped it in the first place: the show is not as deep as it thinks it is.

I'm very glad that you found depth and substance in that show. But what I see when I watch it is a puddle disguising itself as a lake.

(I thought about writing every single reason why I think that but decided to spare you the dissertation because I don't want to ruin anyone's enjoyment of the show. I am happy to expand if asked but I will reiterate not to ask questions you don't want the answer to. If you're super curious, I did also already write a tiny bit about my problems with the show here.)

Today my partner and I discussed getting matching shirts that say "the hot bitch I pulled by being autistic" and each shirt has an arrow that points to the other person.

I recently started playing stardew valley again and downloaded some mods to make my game better. One mod I downloaded makes it so that you get letters from your parents more often and lets you choose your family style to include single parents, gay parents, etc. I thought it would be nice bc my mom in real life is a lesbian so I downloaded it. Then it asked me to pick the names my parents would sign off with. In real life my mother is remarried and I call my stepmother by her first name, but it wouldn't feel right for me to put her actual name in there bc this isn't a 1:1 recreation of my life. I also didn't want to put in a parent name that I hadn't used in real life though. My original second parent, my mom's first partner, died when I was a kid. When they were still alive, I had called my parents Mom and Mimi. So I put Mimi in as the second parent's name. Yesterday I got a letter from Mimi for the first time, telling me a story from when they were young. I almost cried

To add on to @thelonelybrilliance’s articulate and concise post about fandom, but in a new post so hers doesn’t get cluttered—sometimes your feelings get hurt by the beats of a story as understood through fandom. I know mine have —deeply. And untangling that can feel almost impossible and Herculean. The reason I hate love triangles in an ongoing piece of media (I don’t) is purely because of fandom, because people INSIST on making into a war or contest of some kind. And no I’m not just talking about the worst kind of fandom shipping wars where insults or death threats are exchanged and people just lose their minds etc. I’m talking about that base assumption among “reasonable” fans that a love story is a prize to be won, for a character and for the fans of said character. And that “losing” this battle can only bring shame and misery. Therefore, if the losing happens it CANNOT be accepted or lived with because it’s the ultimate failure. And the only thing to do in that light is to say “well clearly the story is wrong.”

TV show writers/modern writers of popular entertainment do love to bait fans using emotional manipulation. it’s baked into our storytelling on some level and I hate it and I hate to see it. And it’s why generally, on principle, I won’t engage with a tv show or movie seriously until it’s finished. So that I can make sense of it as a whole on its own merits and not in the context of television ratings or the shipping wars/opinions that are often intentionally stoked to drive those ratings.

but the thing I have learned (only extremely recently) from the times where I can’t help it and I do get swept up into a story that is ongoing is that I do have the power to step away from not only a fandom but that fandom mindset that makes things into petty little wars and snide attacks and understand that romantic relationships are not prizes to be won, that this is about understanding who these people are, what they want, and how they fit together. And in that light I don’t have to do the thing that fandom makes me feel I do have to do—lose, or, worse, throw somebody away as the loser. Cut them off from my love and just let them die.

if a story is well written enough, or even sometimes if it isn’t but the truth of character is still there anyways, there will always be a way to resolve those things that hurt and push and pull at me on a deep level because the truth of the story will set me free. I have learned that I can’t do that in a public space or while I feel I’m being watched or even with a whole group of people. I have to do it one on one. And it doesn’t mean there aren’t things I have to let go of—my own pride, the feelings that come from the sunk cost effect, even just wanting things to be the way I wanted them to be just because I wanted it. Because I’m attached to my own views. But if I can, if I can try to trust that the story is worth it, it’s so much safer and more satisfying to see the story from that vantage point and love it and appreciate it and have fun with it without those fandom fears hurting me or clouding my vision.

2 Concepts I would love to see but know that would never realistically happen officially:

Alice in Wonderland but with the Tezuka Star System characters: I’m honestly surprised I couldn’t find anything like this done with his characters but I also haven’t read much of his original manga sans what I can find screencaped or cut up on posts/tweets, only watched the anime adaptations, so if this crossover actually DOES exist, pls forgive me :( (And pls send me the link to the manga/anime, I would like to see it if it’s actually real).  That all aside, tbh I have a solid idea of what role each of the characters could play, but I think that some are more interchangable then others, if that makes any sense?  For example, I stand firm with the idea that the March Hare, the Mad Hatter, and the Dormouse should be Lamp, Hamegg, and Skunk respectively, but when it comes to others like Alice or the White Rabbit, I have different ideas but think these roles could be played by multiple characters and it would be ok?  Like I think characters like Pinoko or Princess Knight would be good as Alice, for instance, but I wouldn’t mind if they weren’t Alice? Smth like that I guess (⌒_⌒;) 

Arsenic and Old Lace, but again, with the Tezuka Star System characters: Idk man, I think this could be interesting~  This movie is so darkly hilarious and chaotic, I think a parody of it using these characters would be perfect, regardless if it was fan made or otherwise.  If not to see the perfect dynamic between Hamegg and Lamp as Jonathan and Dr. Einstein, then it should exist if only because I would love to see Rock Holmes as Mortimer dealing with all of the crap that happens in the movie after getting engaged to Princess Knight.  However, again like with Alice in Wonderland, aside from who I think should be Jonathan and Dr. Einstein, I think all the other roles could be switched around as needed?  Although tbh I still think Rock as Mortimer would be hilarious XD

Again, I know that neither of these 2 senarios will ever be made officially, but I think it would be nice to see fan art or a crossover fic of it?  This is just me tho lol

[arolesbianism]

Every now and then I get haunted by my past as a dr fan because someone mentions it or smth and lemme tell you the worst case scenario is if they bring up v3 in an even slightly positive light because nothing will make me start giving a shit abt dr again except for my burning hatred of that damn game, I just spent like 30 minutes ranting to myself about how much of a nothing character Kokichi is in the bathroom after showering just to vent it out because if I don't rant abt v3 every now and then I'll explode and kill someone

[caprisunchan]

vent lol

[mymelodyisme]

Okay I know I don’t shut up about it but let me scream okay 😭
