Got some mixed feelings about the Striker is Satan’s son theory circulating around rn LMAO

Also the fact this has all started from a single silhouette of this man is very funny

#like on one hand omg i can see it #but on the other hand we got too many daddy issues in this show #and striker’s connection to his masculinity feels like something he got from an active father around him #i feel like his dad whomever it may be HAD to be around #when you look at striker’s character and how he embodies sm of wrath #i feel like satan would be so proud of him??#which is why part of me doubts if satan IS his dad he’s the source of everything???#bc if he is than that means yet ANOTHER character with daddy issues #and enough pls #bc idk why striker would do all this bc he didn’t get daddy’s approval #things are personal for him ya but idk when they have him say he had everything taken away from him #and you look at his lair #he feels like a regular dude who got screwed over by the system and wants revenge #IDK SO MANY THINGS TO THINK ABOUT #IM ALL OVER THE PLACE #helluva boss #helluva boss striker #striker helluva boss #helluva boss satan #satan helluva boss #helluva boss spoilers

almost 2 years into post-ultra deluxe stanley parable fandom & i think we've all beyond lost the plot

#twinkie talks #like everything i could say right now has already BEEN said & i'm not going to sit here & point fingers & go ' you're wrong you're wrong '#because obviously who am i to say especially when i too have deviated from the main plot by this point. right #interpretation can carry you the farthest from the source material that sometimes just happens #but i'm spending tonight looking back on FRESHLY sparked UD fandom & even further back 2013-2018 fandom #& we are so far from where we were #i do miss old fandom though i'm going back #i'm going INTO the game tonight fellas <- i don't even own it #// tbd

So I'm not getting on any sort of "I disliked James Somerton before it was cool" thing because that blatantly isn't true, I was just as much of a fan as many others were before Hbomberguy's video.

But even after subscribing to James, I typically looked at his videos talking about a certain media more than his general queer history stuff, because when he wasn't focused on a specific topic, I found it hard to retain what he was saying and understand some of his explanations. "His" definition of camp particularly flew over my head. Now, I thought this was a me problem, that I just wasn't getting it because I'm a visual learner and hearing things academically is a bit harder. But now that I know 99.9% of his shit was stolen, I've realized why I'm not the problem!

My brain felt like I was experiencing an academic textbook because the shitstain was reading unfiltered academic text at me, at times like he was reading off a Wikipedia article--WHICH HE LITERALLY DID

#me before: my brain isn't smart enough to get everything he says :(#me now: oh no that's wrong he just stole indiscriminately and patched it together in a shitty manner #not all of his sources were strictly academic but now i'm sure i could point to which ones that are because that at times #super over complicated writing style of text books can be easy to spot if you properly look for it #not that i'm watching one of his videos ever again fuck him i just wanted to vent about realizing this #james somerton #hbomberguy

new TSATS prediction based entirely off the interview from the UK Rick Riordan newsletter

#pjo #nico di angelo #riordanverse #tsats #the sun and the star #this isnt spoilers this is just a silly #i do find it funny whenever people say Nico is Catholic though cause we dont have any actual indication of that other than he's From Italy #he doesnt have catholic guilt he has internalized homophobia. those are different things #listen his mom was a clear-sighted mortal who had TWO children with the god of the underworld who also was implied to help raise said kids #nico ain't catholic. this boy has never been to CCD. < source: i went to CCD /neg #however im already taking TSATS as fanon so i will laugh if Nico is randomly confirmed catholic #now Will? Will i could see. Will raised catholic? yes. Nico raised catholic? no.#in my brain Nico was raised with like. his parents having mixers in their parlor room with Maria's socialite friends and misc chthonic gods #like. Nico's babysitter growing up was Menoites (herdsman of the cattle of the underworld) type situation #seriously though i can only think of 3 details that would vaguely imply Nico is raised catholic and that are:#one instance of him helping Percy pick out a christmas gift for Annabeth (though everything in that short story was ooc tbh)#(and also Nico didnt actually ever imply he specifically was celebrating christmas)#two: Percy describing the situation in Sword of Hades as ''spending christmas in the underworld'' (nico is just kind of there)#and thirdly again: Nico's just from Venice #like. did he go to a religious school growing up? possibly! doesnt mean he was that religion though just means his school was #and even then we actually dont know if he wasn't homeschooled before moving to america #in which case yeah figures the like 3 months he spent in Westover would teach him random outdated stuff #they needed to send him to a sketchy school cause the di angelos dont have any records and if their material is outdated #then that's less likely to mess with Bianca and Nico's wiped memories #but demographically speaking its entirely likely that the entire larger di Angelo family arent christian anyways #everybody with misc varied headcanons about the demographics of the di angelo family i give u a little kiss on the forehead #''but what about Nico learning the wrong version of that one myth'' see again: could have learned it at Westover #and also. tbh far more likely that it was a 1930s thing than a religious thing #cause if we're talking staunch catholocism i dont think they'd be teaching him much greek mythology at all #anyways this has been: im far too amused by the phrases 'that boy has never been to CCD' and ''Nico has Become Catholic'

i am once again disappointed but not surprised at the COD fandom only caring about “sensitivity” when it’s convenient for them

#telling people it’s morally wrong to simp for makarov #whilst simping for graves or valeria #or ANY character in this damn series #just shows that you only give a shit about ‘sensitivity’ when it doesn’t inconvenience you #‘but he’s bad :(’ my brother in christ. let’s talk about western militaries #price nikolai and gaz literally kidnapped and tortured an innocent woman and child #the UK and US militaries have DEVASTATED vulnerable countries #y’all wanna talk about sensitivity?? then acknowledge how even the ‘good’ characters like the 141 are shitty!#none of these characters are good people!#i cannot stress this enough. eliminating characters because they’re ‘problematic’ eliminates the entire cast. every single one of them.#MAYBE farah would be safe?? i’m not knowledgeable enough to say for certain. but everyone else— 141. los vaqueros. laswell. alex. nikolai. +#valeria. graves. every last warzone operator. EVERY single character is ‘off-limits’ with that logic.#COD fandom is also horribly racist despite pretending it’s not. notice how people only talk about this when it’s white folks being impacted #no one gave a shit when a middle eastern woman and child were kidnapped and tortured. or when fans were romanticizing cartel violence.#or how the SAS CIA and Delta Force have histories of terrorizing vulnerable people; especially in the middle east and asia #i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again before anyone accuses me of smth false:#sensitivity is important. it can co-exist with letting people enjoy problematic things. the source itself is problematic —#ergo. everything that comes from it (even the ‘good’ things) is as well.#you can’t cherry pick which characters people are allowed to be critical of. you can have your faves and have the ones you dislike #but don’t act like you’re doing something noble when your sensitivity is biased.#sylph.talks

anime adachi and kurosawa are making out in a storage room at the office!!!! im highkey losing my mind!!!!!!

#THEY FULLY MADE OUT #i had no clue what level of intimacy we were gonna get in the anime version #but this was like a full proper make out #like it was long!!!! and they drew attention to everything all the ways they touched and pulled each other closer and adachi was like fully #reciprocating and the line building up to it omg kurosawa saying so the more i touch you the more you’ll know how i feel #yes I haven’t watched the thai version yet I need time to binge but like…. this is a really good adaptation #it feels authentic to the source material and yet they make it feel different to the live action in such good ways #you can see how these characters have the same basis but have been built differently it’s awesome #and also I have a feeling that this will be my favourite tsuge. his character just works a lot better in a anime format than live action #anyway if you haven’t watched the anime adaptation at least watch this it’s the second half of ep 8 #also only ep 8??? we still have a quarter of the show yet and they’ve made out already so idk what we have in store now #cherry magic anime

what kind of emotion(s) do u guys write from

#*･ﾟ⊰ 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒. ⊱ ✦ › OUT.#i think abt tht post tht says siken writes w panic and mary oliver writes w hope n i was thinking abt #hiwatari's 'if a shadow is behind a circle then it's a sphere and if a shadow is in front of a circle then it becomes a hole'#obviously that can apply to dark + dai vs krad + sato as part of their dichotomy but its also applicable to both of them as individuals #if u include the manga bc of the way daisuke/dark's heart is. solemn and grandiose but vacant with nothing to satisfy anyone in it #everything they do or say comes from tht empty cathedral. a graveyard. the noble but desolate dust-filled underground of an opera house #i'm writing abt summer and winter but most importantly im writing abt love and light's echoes in a jet black space #i'm saying the reason dark and daisuke are always so grateful for others is because they're always so lonely #and emotionally if not socially malformed and outcast in their own ways #writing daisuke is anxiety and deep guilt on the surface with an undercurrent of pride and arrogance #writing dark is pride and arrogance on the surface with an undercurrent of anxiety and deep guilt #but anything and everything is sourced from that hollow and empty well. that 'nothing' that is a phantom thief's #restless and covetous heart #even within canon the things dark and daisuke both REALLY want- they lie to themselves lie to the audience about until they finally #either obtain or surmount it #well. anyways. sorry for tag essay #i had a lot of feelings and no place to put them 💀

btw its interesting the way james tries to imply that like. well the videos that have plagiarism are the ones our dumb stupid annoying patrons requested about bad topics that didnt deserve to have the effort put in to covering them well so basically its fine. like obv thats interesting on its own but moreso the fact that he doesnt actually /say/ it, or like. give a list of the videos hes referring to, just says "those videos are very clear on which ones they were" i think as a nod meaning like "yknow the ones everyones talking about". unless what hes meaning is that like they put a note in certain videos saying "this video was requested by a patron, we here at james somertom incorporated do not espouse these views" which seems unlikely to me. idk methinks maybe it's because there is indeed a lot more than people think and with all the buzz he's not sure which ones have been discovered yet or not, so putting down a solid list that missed some would look like he was still hiding things whereas putting down a fully sourced list would be admitting to wayyyy more than anyone's found yet

#which is ironic too bc if he genuinely did want to prove he understood what he did wrong and that hed changed thatd be the way to do it #yknow like a full list of every single source including ones no one has found on their own or /can/ find anymore would a) be taking full #responsibility and b) make people less likely to always be like 'youre still hiding something'#which in turn makes me super think hes still hiding a lot of somethings #also cant go without stating that the 'request a video topic' thing was only for $100/month patrons after 3 months on that tier #like fucker these people gave you THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS AT LEAST and youre trying to blame it on them??????#no one forced you to make 'let patrons pick video topics' a reward dude like. hello????????#shit dude even hbombs highest tier ($10 for anyone wondering bc he doesnt see his audience as a money machine lmao)#just says you can vote in polls about future topics #like that makes complete sense to me as a version of this‚ the most dedicated audience members get a say in the future of the #channel while the creator still gets overall control of the direction #also 'patrons who gave me fuckloads of money asked me to make videos on topics i didnt like so i plagiarized those' is i think uhhh #worse than just 'i plagiarize everything without remorse' frankly?#like at least with the second youre just a general shitbag but the first where youre a shitbag specifically to the people #majorly financially supporting you rather than just like. be an adult and say 'hm i dont feel like that topic really works for the channel‚#do you have any other ideas?'#or dare i say even perhaps yknow. doing what other youtubers do in similar situations and find ways to tie that subject #to what they usually talk about is just. wild #course that last one would take actual creativity and aint that just the crux of the issue #james somerton #or i say cannot go without stating i should say cannot go without restating kwnrkabdkwbrn

Could I be more critical about the WoT adaptation? Sure. Am I going to be? No.

#legit though it’s a solid 9/10 for me #i would say 10/10 but we’re not done yet #like the more i hear people complain about the adaptation choices #the more i’m over here like ‘no i actually love everything they’re doing’#but like #casting is literally a 10/10 #you can tell that the writers love the source material #they keep tossing in fun book lines #this is more than i ever hoped for

i say this as someone who has always been daunted by all the things i don’t know: please do not be afraid of learning. do not, under any circumstance, let people discourage you from doing so, either. read and read and read. let yourself be heartily challenged by books and concepts. set with things, let them brew, go back to them and look them up. know it’s okay to not know and it’s even more okay to not know for a very long time. we are all different, and we all learn differently, and sometimes it takes time. the worst thing you could ever do for yourself is to stop wanting to learn because you are afraid you’re not smart enough to comprehend things. you very much are

#misc.#i wish with everything in me that teaching paid well bc id love to do it #i just want everyone to know that they can be smart. that smart isn’t a source to be depleted but something that is endless and powerful #and i really am saying this as someone who has let my fear deter me a lot #but i try not to let it anymore. there’s so much i don’t know but i have so much life to learn it in and that’s exciting #im happy there are things for me to still achieve and that there always will be

Lae'zel, pls. I'm trying to be negative here.

Why do you have the best confession I've seen so far and also why did you literally kill me right after.

Ma'am??

#baldur's gate 3 #lae'zel #“source of my bruises” she says #girl you two-shot me before i could make a single action #where did you get bruises?#this romance is taking the “i like a woman that can kill me” very literally i see #k i think i'll bear with act 2 if i drag lae around #just need to get to shadowheart's storyline and everything in this whole black-green area will be worth it

hey so uh I’m back

kinda

I don’t know how to word this. But my break is over I guess. I ended up leaving for longer as I didn’t know how to handle returning and I wanted to do it on a better day, and I’m sorry if I made you worried.

Although with all of this it feels nothing has changed yet again. It feels like forever since I’ve been here and my break consisted of highs and lows where I felt I could do nothing and desperately needed to go back to tumblr, or I feel relaxed and it was a good idea.

it’s very hard. I’m considering actually leaving for good because of how my break affected me. But I’m going to try to intergrate myself back here, but I think it’s going to be very hard.

I’m still scared staying here and I feel like I’m stuck in a narrow space with no exit no matter what I do, I just hate everything I hate myself I just want help but there’s no one to get help from I have no idea what to do I feel exhausted yet I haven’t done anything I just don’t know where this is all going and I’m scared for the future

#I really don’t know if I should leave or not #ive been saying this a lot but this might be the actual time I’m truly considering it as I had some experience of that #Whatever that means #i feel like it’ll be relief either that or I’ll be even more stressed #I can’t tell because i experienced both emotions simultaneously during the leave #There’s also so much I want to share with everyone #I ended up ripping apart the Milgramblr tree #I didn’t feel anything not happiness not sadness but nothing #I just don’t know if I can take it anymore but I don’t even know the true source of what’s bothering me #I probably won’t continue my archives for a while because of this #And I need to vent here #FOR WHATVER FUCKING REWSON AS SOON AS I CAME BACK ALL OF THE PHOTOS GOT SHUFFLED AGAIN #AGAINNNNNN #AND I SPENT SO MUCH TIME REOGANISING THEM EHEN IT HAPPENED LAST WEEK #AND I ADDED SO MUCH NEE STUFF #Hehhhh it’s just some annoying it issue #But I guess this has been a bad start to everything #I just wanna sleep forever and not wake up

also re looking at the laptops of ppl in front of you in lectures, its actually doing wonders for my perceptions of the average computer user's tech literacy. im so used to circles on here being like 'and of course we're all on firefox with these 6 extensions and digging the algorithms out of our operating systems' meanwhile today in a lecture i saw someone with a lenovo driver pinned to their taskbar. ???

#im establishing myself as tech-proficient-enough-to-stand-out-in-an-arts-class by making my laptop look fucking stupid #they dont even know you can put the taskbar to the right instead of the bottom of the screen #or that u can turn off font smoothing to make everything look worse #oh also i finally got around to backing up all my files so the linuxification is impending #like my problem is that i look at people on here who like specialise in computers n shit n im like #aw jeez i only kind of know what a bios is... im such a poser....#meanwhile my family are enraptured by me bcos i can type fast and press buttons #like dgmw having the intuition to figure shit out by pressing buttons is a learned skill in and of itself that many people r lacking #but it always feels a bit bullshit to pull out of my back pocket. oh yeah im just smart #basically when it comes to my computer i say that my MO is that i care about privacy and open source shit #but really i just like having control. and sometimes control means making things worse on purpose just bcos u can
