You know what pisses me off about this K vs Drake shit?
It’s the pretentious ass white people on this sight who LOVEEE to see niggas fighting. If this strikes a nerve then it’s for you, sweetheart.
It’s something on a deeper DNA scale, that evokes this anger in me. It’s not even the people who actually listen to either, it’s the not understanding the nuances, the culture part. Kendrick and most rappers hate Drake because not only does his shitty non-lyrical music and sneak disses EVERYBODY all the time, even legends like common, mos def, etc. and still charts while also claiming to be the best rapper alive. His sick ass even bought tupacs ring. On top of all of that he is a fucking predator.
Another thing I see going on is people saying 🤓☝🏻”Kendrick had the rapist Kodak Black on his album! Hypocrite!” Which is true, kb settled out of court in 2016 on a sexual assault case, and it was distasteful to have him on MMATBS, but he’s been on a plethora of other songs, been in the media for other shit too. I hate him equally as I do drake.
Needless to say our black community, the Hip-hop community has many distasteful figures such as Dr. Dre, some say Tupac but I have a different opinion on him and what happened to him, NWA, etc. I could sit here and name a hundred people but I won’t. It’s just irritating to see people who don’t even know who the fuck Kendrick Lamar is saying stupid shit.
His whole last album was him critiquing himself because he’s not perfect, especially in his relationships and family matters (no pun intended) I think people have to get out of this squeaky clean image in their heads of what a famous person should be. He’s a fucking guy from Compton, grew up as the weird kid in the corner, writing poetry, in the hood surrounded by violence, in the violence himself, and actively challenged himself to go against what he could’ve been to what he is now. Literally his whole persona is “I am not perfect, I am not god.”
AND PLEASE STOP WITH THOSE BULLSHIT ASS DOMESTIC ASSAULT CHARGES, IT NEVER HAPPENED IT WAS FROM A TABLOID, 12 YEARS AGO.
ugh.
I hate this site for even finding out about this. Y’all take stuff and run, don’t even know more than 2 albums. The fact that y’all don’t even know who the hell he is and he won a Pulitzer Prize for his DAMN album says enough. Now stfu and sit back, watch from the bleachers because this isn’t about y’all. If you don’t know what TPABF is, S80, or at least GKMC, then please, just put your Taylor swift and Harry styles back on and sit the fuck back.
Out here making cheat sheets on the drama. Wtf????

Song Recommendation:
Killing Butterflies - Lou Bliss
Present Day...
Y/N, Angel Dust, and Vaggie were sitting in the living room, listening to Charlie rant about the new extermination date.
"Okay. So, the extermination is coming in six months instead of a year," Charlie ranted, pacing around the room. "No big deal. Just a little setback. Nothing we can't handle. Just angels cutting our timetable in half. But who needs a whole year to save souls? Am I right? And next time when they cut the time in half again and again, we'll just handle it right?!"
"Yes, we will," Vaggie said, grabbing onto Charlie's suit.
"Oh, please," Angel said while scrolling on his phone. "Ya had less than half a chance when you started all this salvation bullshit. And now...ain't no silver lining this time toots."
"Sure there is, Angel," Y/N said. "We just have to look a little harder for it, that's all." Charlie sent her a grateful smile.
"Well, while she's lookin'," Angel said. "The rest of Hell is going nuts. People are already freaking out about the news. Look at what's happening in the Doomsday District." he said, showing them his phone. Suddenly, a message from Angel's boss popped up on his phone.
"Uhhh, what is a donkey show?" Charlie asked, confused.
"Ah, heh, nothing!" Angel panicked. "My boss, Val, is just freaked out about the news too."
At the mention of Valentino's name, Y/N scrunched up her face in disgust. "Like I said, everyone's losing their shit." Angel finished.
"Yeah, that's true. Sinners are desperate," Vaggie said thoughtfully. "Maybe desperate enough to try anything to escape the extermination?"
Charlie gasped. "This is the perfect time to recruit more sinners for the hotel!"
"Good idea, Vaggie," Y/N chuckled.
"Cute idea and all," Angel said. "But you really going to go out in all of this?" He showed them his phone again, there was fire everywhere and demons were getting killed left and right. It made Y/N cringe.
"Well, it's not like people are just going to show up on our doorstep."
As soon as Charlie finished her sentence, there was a big explosion outside that destroyed the wall.
"Alassstor! Assasssin! Show yourssself!" said a voice from outside.
"Who the fuck could that be?" Y/N mumbled, getting out of her seat and flying out of the hole in the wall. When she got outside, Alastor was already standing out there.
Above the hotel, stood a steampunk looking blimp. Looking up, Y/N saw that the person who was piloting the aircraft was a snake demon.
"Face my wrath!" the snake shouted.
"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Y/N asked.
"Who am I? Who am I?" the snake repeated. "I am the great Sir Pentiousss! Inventor, architect of dessstruction, villian extraordinaire!"
By the time he finished talking, Vaggie, Charlie, and Angel Dust had made it out of the Hotel, they were now looking up at the blimp.
"Isn't this the guy who attacked us last week?" Angel asked.
"I would of loved to see that," Y/N said.
Nifty gasped, suddenly appearing on Alastor's head. "Ooh, he's a bad boy," Nifty said, a wicked grin on her face.
"Huh, well if all that's true, you'd think we'd have heard of you," Alastor said, setting Nifty on the ground.
"I attacked you literally last week," Sir Pentious said. Alastor tilted his head in confusion. "We've done battle like... twenty times."
"Well, you must have been really bad at this,"
"Yeah, I don't recall fighting with you, like ever," Y/N said, feeling bored.
"Silence!" Sir Pentious shouted. "Now cower! For when I've ssslain you, the almighty Vees will finally acknowledge me as their equal!"
"Almighty Vees my ass," Y/N said under her breath as Nifty crawled on her.
"Ooh! Wait, who are the Vees?" Nifty asked.
"No one you need to worry about, Nifty," Y/N said.
"Enough!" Sir Pentious shouted. "Alassstor! Assssassin! Feel my wrat-"
Sir Pentious never got to finish his sentence. Long black tendrils sprouted out of Alastor's back and grabbed onto the steampunk blimp, shaking it around. Alastor began to laugh manically.
"Oh! Please! Stop!" Sir Pentious shouted.
"Um, Alastor?" Charlies said, concerned. "I think he's had enough."
"Nah, he's got a few more hits in 'im!" Angel said, smirking.
"Yeah, let him have his fun," Y/N said giggling.
As the blimp started to shake around more, Sir Pentious finally fell out, landing flat on his face.
Looking up, Y/N saw that there was a drone right next to the blimp, the camera pointing towards the hotel.
"Fucking Christ," Y/N mumbled. "I swear, I'm gonna kill Vox." Nobody heard her.
"Thanks for another forgettable experience!" Alastor said, twirling his cane. An egg thing fell right next to Y/N and splattered. Grossed out, she stepped away from it.
"Thank... you..." Sir Pentious said weakly. "For letting your guard down!" Suddenly, using his tail, he ripped off a piece of Alastor's coat. "Haha! Yeah! Oh, shit."
Suddenly, Sir Pentious was blasted away.
"Well, it looks as though I need a visit to the tailor," Alastor said cheerfully. "Would you like to accompany me, Y/N?"
"Hm?" Y/N said, taking her eyes off the drone. "Oh, yeah, sure. I've been meaning to stop by there anyway."
"Excellent!" Alastor said, beckoning her to follow him. "Best of luck chums!"
"Wait, you guys can't leave!" Vaggie said. "We need your help. We need you to do your job."
"We need a wall," Angel said, gesturing to the big hole in the wall.
"Of course. We can't let our new project fall into disrepair already, now can we, Y/N?" he said, nudging her. "What would the papers say?"
The two of them snapped their fingers. Alastor summoned some construction demons and Y/N summoned some tools for them to use. The two of then walked off.
"I couldn't help but notice," Alastor said as they walked. "What was in the sky that had you so distracted, my dear?"
"You didn't see the drone?" Y/N asked.
"Ah, that's what you were looking at," Alastor said. "Yes, I saw the drone."
"It's probably from VoxTech," Y/N grumbled. "Knowing him, he's gonna take every opportunity he can to spy on the hotel, especially 'cause me and you are there."
"Ah, you seem to know Vox quite well." Alastor said, jealousy knawing at him a tiny bit. "Why is that?"
"We were acquainted for a little bit," Y/N said. "That's all I'm gonna share for now."
"If that's all you would like to reveal, that's fine," Alastor said, his smile seeming a bit more forced. "It's rude to pry."
"Say's you," Y/N said, a playful smirk on her face. "Your one of the most nosiest people I know."
"You say that like it's a bad thing, dear," Alastor said, she chuckled.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I swear, if I see that man again, I'm rippin' his pathetic head off,"
"He was only complementing you," Alastor laughed lightly.
"He was doin' it in a way I didn't like," Y/N said, looking across the street at the electronics store. "Ugh, I hate seeing Vox's stupid face every time I walk past that store."
"Top of the hour and we're discussing a certain has-been who has been spotted cavorting around town after a seven-year absence!" Vox's fake cheery voice came from the T.V.
Even hearing his voice pissed Y/N off, especially since he was talking about Alastor.
" I'm sorry, dear," Alastor said, a smirk on his face. "I'm afraid I have to cut this short, I have some business to take care of regarding a noisy picture box."
Y/N grinned, knowing he was talking about Vox.
"No need to say sorry, Al," she said. "Do me a favor, embarrass the hell outta him."
Alastor's grin grew wider. "I'll do my best, my dear."
With one final look at her, he melted into the shadows, no doubt heading to his radio station.
Wanting to see what was going to happen, she walked closer to the electronic store. The crowd didn't pay any attention to her, too preoccupied listening to flat screen demon.
Otherwise, the crowd of people would of ran for the hills.
"Alastor's a loser, he's a fossil, and I don't mean to sound hostile, but the demon is a coward!" said Vox's voice from the T.V.
Y/N laughed, knowing what really went on that day.
"You can play that as gospel, folks. He thinks he can take my viewers?" he laughed. "Impossible. Stop giving him the time of day. Don't listen to anything he says. Alastor should have stayed away!"
Y/N hoped that whatever Alastor was planning would be good.
"Hell's been better off since he disappeared," he said. "Wondering where he's been? Who gives a shit! He-"
Suddenly, a voice came from the radio in the window from the radio store next door. Y/N's eyes lit up in anticipation.
"Salutations sinners!" Alastor's voice came from the radio. "It's good to be back on the air!"
Hearing the Radio Demon's voice, the crowd moved over to the front of the radio store.
On the TV, Y/N could see Vox's shocked and angry face. It made her giggle.
"I know it's been a while since someone with this much style treated Hell to a radio broadcast," Alastor said. "Sinners rejoice!"
"What a dated voice," Vox said.
"Instead of a clout chasing video podcast," Y/N could hear the smirk in Alastor's voice.
Deciding she didn't want to be surrounded by all these sinners, Y/N immediately unfurled her wings and flew back to the hotel as fast as she could.
Landing on her balcony, she ran into her room, turned on the radio, and turned her phone to the broadcast, hoping she didn't miss too much.
"Is Vox as strong as he claims or is it merely based on support?" Alastor said, making Y/N laugh. "He'd be powerful without the other Vee's."
"Oh please," Vox snarled.
"There was once a time when Vox asked me to join his team, I said no and that's why he's so pissy," Alastor said. "That's the tea!"
"You ØŁʥ timey prick!" Vox shouted. "I'll show you şµʩʩɞʁʁɨŋɠ!"
"Uh oh, the T.V. is buffering," Alastor said smuggly.
The T.V. signal started to break up. "ⅰII ʤşɫʁØʏ ʏØØ-Ø-⋃-⋃ ʏØ⋃ Įiɫɫɩɚ-"
Looking out the window, all the power in Pentagram City started to go out. Y/N was glad that the hotel was hooked up to a generator.
"I'm afraid you lost your signal," the Radio Demon said.
Satisfied, Y/N turned off the radio, heading downstairs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------"When'd you get here babycakes?" Angel asked when he saw Y/N coming down the stairs.
"Just now," she said, sitting next to him. "I came in through my balcony."
"Uh huh," he said, wiggling his eyebrows. "So what did you creepy voice do hmm?"
"All we did was go to tailor, you have such a dirty mind,"
"It pays off,"
The two of them talked a bit more until Vaggie and Charlie came in. Charlie flopped on the couch with and groaned, a disappointed look on her face.
"So how'd it go?" Angel asked.
Vaggie sighed. "Not a single new recruit,"
"Yeah. Well, who would want to use their last days not fucking and fighting?"
"I'm sure there are plenty of people, Angel," Y/N said, elbowing his side.
"Sure there are," he replied as Vaggie went to go answer the door.
Y/N heard a thud and Vaggie yelling.
"You should probably go check that out, Charlie," Y/N suggested..
As Charlie walked over the front door, Y/N peered over her shoulder and saw that the snake demon who attacked them earlier was there.
"Holy shit Angel!" she exclaimed. "It's that guy who attacked us earlier."
"No fucking way," Angel said, getting up and walking over, Y/N followed him.
"Are you fucking nuts?" Angel said, standing in the doorway. "This chump was trying to kill us, like literally six hours ago. And now you want to bring him in here to live with us?"
"Absolutely!" Charlie smiled. "This place is about second chances, and who deserves one more than this...slithery...slippery...special little man."
"This could end up in a pile of shit," Y/N muttered. "Aren't you like, the protector of this place, Vaggie?"
Charlie did puppy eyes over to Vaggie.
Vaggie sighed. "I...guess he's not much of a threat without the war machine," she said, making Sir Pentious smile. "Or even with the war machine."
Sir Pentious' smile dropped into a frown.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Charlie exclaimed, hugging Vaggie tightly. "Sir Pentious! Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel!"
"Oh, no darling, thank you," Sir Pentious said, as Y/N eyed him up and down suspiciously. "You won't regret this."
"Eh, I give you a week tops," Angel said, as they all walked back into the Hotel.
Upon further inspection, Y/N noticed that Sir Pentious was wearing a high tech watch. The kind that Vox Tech sold.
"Don't worry, if he tries anything, I'll kill him," Y/N muttered over to Angel.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What do you think about our newest guest, hm?" Alastor asked.
Alastor and Y/N were on Y/N's balcony, staring out into Pentagram City, something the two of them did quite often since she arrived at the hotel.
"There's somethin' about him that I can't quite put my finger on," she answered, leaning on the railing. "But whatever it is, I don't like it."
"Maybe you're being too quick to judge, dear," he said softy.
"Says you," Y/N said, playfully nudging him.
It was quiet for a moment, Y/N thought about what to say to clear the awkward tension.
"Can I ask you somethin', Alastor?" she said. "You don't have to answer if you don't want to, I'm just curious."
"Ask away, my dear,"
"How in the world did you get shot in the head by a hunter?"
Alastor didn't say anything at first. Y/N couldn't tell if he was annoyed at the question or not.
"I was burying a body in the woods," he said. "At the time I didn't know, but I was on hunting grounds. This idiot man thought I was a deer."
Y/N remembered the day she got the call like it was yesterday.
"I guess that explains why you're a deer," she snickered.
"How did you die, Y/N?" he asked. "You don't have to answer if it makes you uncomfortable."
"No, no, it's fine," she waved off. "It's not as gruesome as yours, but one night, about a year after you died, I was cleanin up some bodies in an abandoned church, when all of a sudden, a cop came barrelin' in. He shot me at least nineteen times."
"Nineeten times?" Alastor asked, his eyebrows raised. "That seems like a little much."
"Oh well," she shrugged her shoulders. "It doesn't matter anymore, now that I'm stuck down here."
It was quiet for another moment.
"I'm sorry for leavin' you, my dear," Alastor whispered. "I can't imagine what it must have been for you."
"Why are you apologizin' for?" Y/N asked, turning to look at him. "You didn't do anything wrong. It's not your fault you got shot."
"What was it like?" he asked. "After I died."
"It was hard," she admitted. "Really hard. It took me a while to get out of my house and do simple things like go grocery shoppin' or run the flower shop."
Alastor took her hand in his. "I swear to you, dear, I will never leave you alone, again."
Y/N smiled, giving his hand a gentle squeeze. "We're in Hell, Alastor, we're not goin' anywhere."
The two of them laughed softly.
"We should probably head back down there," Y/N said, removing her hand from his. "Charlie said she wanted to show us somethin'."
"I suppose you're right," Alastor said. "Care to walk down with me, my dear?" he said offering his arm.
Y/N giggled "Why, it would be my pleasure," she said, interlocking her arm with his.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"'Oh, I'm a bad man on the streets who never got enough hugs." Angel said sarcastically, reading off a script
Angel was currently wearing a large trench coat and a tiny hat, while Sir Pentious was wearing a white and yellow sailor shirt and a black hat, and a licking a large lollipop.
"'Now, where's an innocent kid I can sell crack to?'" Angel said.
"Wow. Who wrote this?" Angel said in disbelief.
"It's great right?" Charlie said, a smile on her face. "Keep going!"
Y/N giggled.
"'Hey, you," Angel said, pointing to Sir Pentious.
"'Who, me?'" Sir Pentious said, batting his eyelashes.
"'Yeah, you look like a kid who could use some devil's dandruff,'" Angel said, a bored look on his face. "Oh, for fuck's sake."
"'Not me,'" Sir Pentious shook his head. "'I have to go home and study."
"'Come on kid, it'll make you cool like me...'" Angel said. "The crack head.'"
"'The only cool thing here is to say no drugs,'" Sir Pentious said. "'Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to not have sexual intercourse before marriage!'" Sir Pentious announced proudly.
"Yes! Oh bravo, bravo!" Charlie exclaimed, standing up and clapping. "Wow, Pentious, at this rate you'll be redeemed in no time."
Y/N looked over at Angel, seeing a look on his face that she had never seen before on him.
"I...I'm going to bed."
"I am so proud of you, Sir Pentious." Charlie said while Angel walked off, ignoring him. "That was amazing!"
"Hey, Angel?" Y/N said, walking over to him. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah I..." he said, turning away from her. "I'm fine."
"Hey," she said, touching his arm. "Y'know if you need to talk, I'm always here."
"I said I'm fine Y/N," he snapped, jerking his arm away from her.
As Angel walked up the stairs, she couldn't help but feel sad.
"Everything okay, my dear?" a staticky voice asked.
"Yes, everything's fine,"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was late at night.
Tossing and turning, Y/N couldn't sleep. Her mind was on a variety of things. The hotel, Angel Dust, Vox...
Alastor...
Deciding that sleep was no longer an option, Y/N got out of bed and started to walk around the hotel.
As she walked down the stairs, she heard voices.
"I hated that song! Why are you so lame?" came Nifty's voice. "Not a bad boy!"
Y/N laughed silently. She loved it when Nifty said the most out of pocket things.
"Good first day," said Charlie's voice. "Let's get some rest."
At the sound of footsteps, Y/N hid behind a pillar, not wanting them to see her. She knew they would ask questions.
When she knew they were gone, Y/N came out of her hiding spot, walking into the room that they all came out of.
Walking into the room, she saw the watch that Sir Pentious was wearing on the ground.
Somehow, she knew that this had something to do with Vox. No wonder Sir Pentious randomly showed up.
Smirking, she picked up the picked up the watch, turning it on.
Vox appeared on the watch screen.
"What!?" Vox's angry voice said.
"Hello there, Vox, missed me?" Y/N grinned seeing the surprised look on his face. "You're gonna have to try a lot harder than that next time, hun."
She laughed, hearing Vox scream out in rage. She dropped the watch and, crushing it with her boot.
She walked back to her room, laughing all the way.
Little did she know that a certain Radio Demon was in the shadows, watching her interaction with Vox, thinking to himself.

Guys. Why is there even a debate here. Some of the games were explicitly written to be connected, some of them weren't. Not everything has to fit into one cohesive timeline. As a matter of fact, they can't. Now, there is some more nuance to it. Read below for my explanation (infodump) plus a more nuanced chart.
Tumblr media
Red and blue lines are canon within the games' text. Ambiguities are filled in with green. I'll get more into that later. Let's first explain the two completely separate mini timelines.
The Four Swords miniseries stands mostly alone. The Master Sword and the Triforce are present in every other game or (mostly--looking at you, Master Sword in LoZ and AoL) have a good reason not to be, but they are not present at all in these three games. Instead, we have the Four Sword and Light Force. The only wrinkle is that Ganondorf shows up in FSA... so I don't know about that one. I don't think anyone does.
As for BotW and TotK. Oh brother. What do we do with these. Skyward Sword is intended to take place seemingly millennia, or at least several centuries before Ocarina. We see the founding of Hyrule with the first monarch and her chosen knight, the cycle of recurring evil and heroism being established, and the forging of the Master Sword
Wait. What about Rauru and Sonia? I thought they were the first rulers of Hyrule. And if the Zonai were around long before Hyrule, where is any of their presence in Skyward Sword? Huh. Alright. We don't know how much time passed between the first Calamity and the second, but from the past era of TotK to its present, we can account for at least 10,105 years of history. We don't even need to get into how Zora and Rito coexist or anything smaller like that. There's just no fucking way these two games fit with any of the others. Fine, that's fine. Moving on.
There's also a little hiccup around the Oracles. Nintendo seems to go back and force on whether the Oracles feature the same Link as in ALttP and LA, but if they do, it probably makes more sense that Oracles happen before LA (the linked Oracle game ends with Link boarding sailing off on a small ship and LA starts with him on one). So like... I guess they fit there?
Either way, let's take a second to look back at where this idea of a timeline split happened. Remember that WW and TP both clearly take place after OoT. That isn't theorizing, that's in the actual text of each game. The thing is, they're mutually exclusive. TP has Ganondorf being executed, as he would have been after the Hero of Time goes back to his original era and warns Zelda that her plan to get to the Triforce first isn't going to work (which is implied to be what happens at the "The End" screen of OoT). WW has Ganondorf coming back by breaking the seal put on him, and the Hero of Time didn't appear to stop him again (as would happen if Link was sent back in time). Fans started theorizing way back in 2006 that OoT created separate timelines, with WW and TP being mutually exclusive sequels to it as the evidence.
Some fans have asserted that Nintendo just "took" the fan theory. But come on, put everything together here. The texts of OoT, WW, and TP HEAVILY imply the timeline split. The only reason we called it a theory is because the writers didn't literally say "And then the timeline split in two". The texts are pretty clear though. It's the only thing that makes sense. That isn't to say that there needs to be a cohesive timeline, and that the split is the only way to fit it together. No, OoT is connected to both WW and TP no matter what. That was the intent. It's just that the explanation for OoT to have mutually exclusive sequels actually fits neatly into the texts of the games.
And now we come to the tricky part. Put yourself back into the 90s real quick. ALttP seems to have been written as a prequel to Zelda 1, showing Hyrule before its period of decline. Alright, let's just accept that because it may as well be true. The lore at that point was so thin that it made enough sense. I kinda slapped Zelda 1 and 2 at the end there to show it, because we do have a cohesive timeline from ALttP to TFH. That's fine, all well and good.
Likewise, OoT seems to be written as a prequel to ALttP. We see conflict over the Triforce, the origin of Ganon, the seven sages, and an earlier iteration of the Master Sword. Back in 1998, we had no reason to not believe it. These are tenuous connections that are not explicit in the games' text, so I've paired them with green lines to show it.
But wait. ALttP is ALSO mutually exclusive to TP and WW. Oh brother. What do we do about this? Even after figuring out the timeline split in 2006, fans didn't know what the fuck to do with the first four games of this franchise. They could go after TP, but that's even messier than putting them right after OoT. Yuck. This doesn't feel good at all. Oh yeah, and then there's the Four Swords games that don't fit anywhere.
Now you can imagine the position the writers of Hyrule Historia found themselves in when they were tasked with creating an official timeline. Some of the games have certain explicit connections, as detailed in my first chart. But they had to cram everything into one timeline. Well. They knew they had a timeline split in OoT, because that's what the texts of OoT, WW, and TP collectively say. The lore of ALttP also mentions seven sages (or wise men, but let's call them sages), but not a legendary hero. So... if you really stretch your brain out here... it kinda makes sense that there's a timeline where the Hero of Time died fighting Ganon. Maybe. Kinda. Not really, but kinda. And then there's the Four Swords miniseries. Fuck it, throw them in randomly.
The two-way split doesn't disagree with OoT's text at all, which said that Link won. The three-way split does disagree with it by asserting that Link lost. But if we're really trying to fit everything into one timeline, that is the cleanest place to put them. Some people really hate this, but it does seem that those are the same people that demanded that there be an official timeline in the first place. ie the same people who were gonna be pissed off with anything Nintendo gave them that wasn't exactly their own theory being confirmed.
Alright, real talk. The producers of the Zelda series have said time and time again that they think of what would make a fun game then write a story that fits around it. The Wind Waker devs wanted you to sail around the ocean. Then the writers decided "oh, we could put this after Ocarina! After all, weren't they left without a hero? What if Ganon came back with no one to stop him? How would that problem resolve itself? What if the gods just flooded the world?" Then the Twilight Princess devs wanted a spiritual successor to Ocarina, with an epic adventure on horseback across the traditional Zelda kingdom setting. So the writers went "hey, in Ocarina, Link warned Zelda about Ganon, right? What if he was executed then, and then the world was never flooded?"
We have to realize that trying to put games with this design philosophy into a neat little timeline is a futile effort. It's never gonna work because it wasn't designed to. More so than any other storytelling medium, video games take so many approaches to continuity. The Halo games were all meant to be sequential and fit neatly into a strict timeline. Pokemon is all canon within itself but the ties between games are less important than the stories of each game. Mario essentially has no canon except for recurring characters and settings. Zelda is gameplay first, canon second. That's why the two most recent mainline games don't even try to fit in the canon of the previous eighteen. That's just how it works and we're gonna have to accept that.

MAG 118: The Masquerade ~ an essay (sorta)
I just relistened to episode 118 of The Magnus Archives because I remembered that the first time I listened to it it had such a strong emotional impact on me. Now I fucking remember why.
In this essay (sorta an essay) I will be taking apart the sections of the episode and do some explaining why it's so important for Martin's character. Or at least my interpretation of at least. I also acknowledge that there is also some sections with The Crew (Basira, Tim, Daisy and, John) in the wax museum. I don't have *as* much to say about those parts but I will have a bit at the end. Also, some MASSIVE spoilers for the episode and the following episode so...you know...read at your own discretion. This is also reeeaaalllyyy long. Just a warning. And probably reads more like an episode recap more than anything.
First off, let me say that the start of the episode had a strange humor to it. Martin first making sure that the tape recorder is recording then reading the title of the statement, lighting it on fire without reading anymore and then literally going: 'statement ends. Next one' and the tone in his voice too just adds to it all as well. He sounds so nervous, there are so many things to be worried about at the moment of time, and most of all I think he was worried about John. Then Elias is banging on the door to get in and Martin straight up says 'Sorry, Elias, I can’t hear you. There’s a door in the way' is the most witty thing that could possibly be said at that possible moment. I'm not sure why but it feels like there is an air of humor in that section. Like, you don't know what's about to happen next (I will also get to that) so it's kinda funny for some reason. I don't know, it may just be a me thing though.
After a small The Crew section, there is another Elias and Martin bit. This section loses all humor that was possibly there from the first of three sections. This is the first part of the face to face confrontation between Martin and Elias. Martin makes some eye related puns and uses witty humor, and Elias says that Martin is 'acting out' by burning the statements and then Martin says:
Tumblr media
And then Elias just BRUSHES HIM OFF and is kinda like 'yeah, and?'. Not only does it make me want to punch Elias square in the jaw but also, I don't know why but it feels like a turning point in Martin's character. It's the first time it brings this kind of thing up in regards to Martin (unless I forgot one time) and how Martin, up until now, is always seen as the softy and that he'll be okay and isn't as 'scary' in comparison to the other staff. You can tell how fed up he is by his tone as well. He also says at some point says:
Tumblr media
This is said after Elias blames the reason Martin is burning the statements because of John's plan. Martin's tone, again, is so fucking nervous. You can tell how on edge he is. You can tell also how fed up he is and that now he gets to finally say how he feels, even in Elias' impatience, he has some relief almost. I don't know how to fully describe it but it's like the listener finally gets to have what their thinking said allowed. Like, what Martin is saying is what I had been thinking up until that point since the first time he was introduced. I had always felt so bad for him because I never felt like he was able to express his emotions and not be brushed off. Like, at this part I felt it in my soul because I have experienced that feeling of feeling like your ignored and that you'll be fine after a cry which is never fully true. Being expected to be fine all the time is taxing and erasing the persons feelings, which is clearly shown. Section Summery: Martin starts to express his feelings.
Now, the last installment of the Elias and Martin face off. This is the part were I start to cry so fucking much and urge to punch Elias is unbearable. This the the part were the brave mask Martin had on through all of this gets shattered. This is when Martin breaks. Through out the whole episode Martin had been very very brave. He was facing Elias as a distraction, a man with a very punchable face and his boss who can read his mind kinda, while Melaine was doing something else, forgot what exactly but I know it was very important, and The Crew was at the museum and he knew the entire time that Elias was going to hurt him. Not physically but mentally and emotionally because Elias can do his weird mind thing (I've listened to the whole thing. I should be able to describe it better then 'mind thing'. I apologize about that) which can sometimes hurt even more. He knew and yet he did it anyway. They have an exchange:
Tumblr media
after Martin talks about his feels and experiences again, and demanding answers from Elias for things that he never got the answer for (I'm not including those parts because they are really long and one spans over a page gap). He allowed himself to get hurt so the others could have more time. He put on a brave face so that the others could have more time. The most hurtful words were said to him that were said in the whole podcast (in my opinion) so that the others could have more time. He endured so much and then finally snaps, like a rubber band stretched too far and Elias doesn't even seem to care. Elias doesn't seem to care that he sent one of his employs into frantic sobs over a very touchy subject. He doesn't seem to care that his employ got hurt. He is just impatient and has 'better things to do'. The only reason why he was there confronting Martin was to stop the statement burning which means that Martin's mission was a success in a way, to distract him even for a bit. Now, what was brought up exactly? Martin mom. Martin's background breaks my heart in actual half. It's so much worse though how Elias is saying it. How Martin is a spinning image of his dad and that's why his mom 'hates' Martin. There's more to it, obviously, but that's the gist. We get depth to Martin's character. I feel like this is were his kindness for people comes from, taking care of his heartbroken mom. We find out more about him, even though it s from a source who is saying it all in a way that is meant to hurt Martin. The listener is learning more. Then, Martin falls on the ground and weeps because it hurts and after that, I would too. I also fall on the ground and weep at that part actually because it fucking hurts so much. If that was said about my mom in the way it was said I wouldn't just fall on the floor, I would topple over on all fours and just like curl up in a tiny ball and stay in the archives forever that way. BUT Elias leaves and then Martin stops his crying. Bro was just told his mom hates him and he somehow for the most part shuts off the waterworks and meets up with Melaine and I think it's so sweet how Melaine's first thought was that they had to kill Elias. Like, yes, they should've, Elias just hurt Martin so much Martin was weeping on the floor of the archives, but he then was like:
Tumblr media
This is proof that he knew this was going to happen. He knew that he was going to get hurt and and breaks my heart that he is seemingly okay with it. Like, he kinda just accepts it which is fucked but also shows his character in a way? But no, Martin choose to spare Elias. At that point, he had the right to kill him but he didn't want to. For many reason's, I'm sure, but like they really should've killed him. I would've.
To The Crew. Not much to say except:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This was after they found alive people among all the wax (at least I think they are real people) and I think the reason that Tim is acting like this, so ready to save them, because of his little Brother, Danny. The episode Tim gives his statement I listened to like once a month (may or may not be one of my favorite episodes and Tim is kinda my favorite character) Where his brother thought dead and Tim goes to try and find him in his last known location but sees a clown, the Stranger, who rips of their own skin and the clown Tim thought looked like Danny (I think) I don't know, I feel like there is a connection there. It could also just be how Tim is as a character and always wanting to protect and save people. Which brings me to the final part that needs to be said. There is a lot of foreshadowing to Tim's death. Him saying 'You knew I might not come back' and John saying 'I'm not losing you as well'. For John, he said that because of Sasha and her death. When Tim died that meant that 2 of the 3 original archive assistants had died which is really grim to think about and I'm sure weights on John quite a bit. This episode also hurts so much because it is Tim's last full episode. Tim is my favorite character in The Magnus Archives. When he died I was blubbering mess. The foreshadowing goes crazy and the fear in John's voice when he says the line as well hurts soooo much.
All in all, the voice actors for that episode absolutely POPPED OFF. Holy CRAP. It was fantastic. The raw emotion was stunning and how all the lines were delivered was *chef's kiss* Also, of course, I wouldn't be able to yap so much if not for the writing of the episode. The writing was brilliant. I love all the small details. I love everything about this episode (except crying on the floor)
Now, I probably got some of it wrong. Feel free to correct me, but also this is my interpretation of the episode. Maybe you read it differently and that's okay. That's the nice thing about it, it can be taken in different ways. Now, after 2 hours of listening to the episode twice and reading the episode transcript twice and writing this whole thing and reading it over twice I'm regretting writing this now. I have to function tomorrow and it's midnight. Oops.

Challengers: A Good Time to be Bisexual
Just watched Challengers. It's 3 am and I'm still thinking about it.
For starters: I LIKED MIKE FAIST FIRST I LIKE HIM FIRST I LIKED HIM IN DEAR EVAN HANSEN OK I LIKED HIM FIRST.
Secondly, I'm realizing that I'm not into tennis enough to have realized just how erotic the sounds people make when they hit the ball are? Like I could handle the make out scenes, the nudity, the almost sex, but the sounds?? Especially for Art, like why did they have this man to make the most erotic whimpery moaning noise I've ever heard EVERY SINGLE TIME he hits the ball (I know why)? Like I felt like I was intruding and I shouldn't have been there. Convinced they locked Mike Faist in a recording studio, blocked out the windows, and had him do what he had to do in there cause that was OBSCENE.
Thirdly, I cannot begin to express my excitement at the resurgence of loser pathetic men in movies. I think Patrick is a loser, but Art is PATHETIC. Like peak simp behavior. He literally turned on his best friend for Tashi, a woman he had like 2 interactions with. To be fair, he was young and dumb and this was by far the worse thing anyone did in the movie, but it's pathetic man behavior. He literally equates her to Jesus. I'm going crazy.
Fourthly, this movie is so fucking sexy. Honestly it doesn't show any physical sex happening on screen, but just, the vibes? The music?? The noises?? Did I mention the noises?? Zendaya is absolutely stunning, and I appreciated their refusal to let her wear a bra in this. Josh O'Connor, I never found attractive before, but there were some shots in this movie where I was like "Ok, yeah ok, I get it." And Mike Faist, the man that you are (between the two of us I originally only wanted to see this movie to see Mike Faist be pathetic).
Finally, this movie is actually pretty straight forward. Tashi says multiple times that all she cares about is "watching some good fucking tennis" and that she doesn't want anyone to be in love with her. As for Art and Patrick, I feel like the only reason they really love tennis is for the relationships they get out of it. Art played tennis when he was younger because he liked being with Patrick and he even mentions that his Grandma is really proud of him, so that's another person he's playing for. And later, he's playing tennis for Tashi. Patrick plays when he's younger for Art, but I think when he's older he might be playing for fame? He just seems like that kind of person. And in the beginning of the movie he seems a little upset that no one knows who he is. Tashi played tennis because she loves tennis, and when she can't play tennis anymore, she's in love with two people who can. And she knows that what they have is the potential to play a good game of tennis. Which is all she cares about. I mean, I don't think that's true. I think she loves Art, but I don't think she respects him (it's giving TomShiv). I think she has more chemistry with Patrick, and potentially loves him more, but thinks she could never be with him because he challenges her too much, and she's too egotistical to be with someone like Patrick who's also egotistical.
I think Art loves Tashi the most, Patrick loves Art the most, and Tashi loves Patrick, but loves tennis above all.
To be fair, I don't support Tashi erasure, like this is one hundred percent a polycule and not like, a gay romance with a woman getting in the way of it. I just think that above all, Tashi loves tennis. That doesn't mean that she's not deserving of love, and that doesn't mean she doesn't love Art and Patrick, she just loves something else more. Tennis will always be the 4th person in their relationship.
At the end they all get what they want. Art wins the game, and wins Tashi by proxy. Patrick wins Art back by physically catching him in his arms and reigniting their friendship. And Tashi gets to watch some good fucking tennis.

Hi. I lurked your blog a lot a while ago but I stopped watching qsmp in January and eventually lost track of what was going on in the server except for some of the stuff with the admins. I also lost interest in Portuguese around January because after what happened around That Time, even that was just making me sad and upset.
I'm remembering that around this time last year was when I started watching a lot of qsmp, and I miss it. (A whole damn YEAR?!) And I miss some of the fanbase too. I learned just as much about language and culture from people in the fandom as I learned from the server itself. I especially miss the Brazilian CCs and I want to start watching them and/or qsmp again (Pac and Cellbit especially) and trying to learn Portuguese again. But I have no idea what's been going on and it's surprisingly difficult to try to figure it out by digging around on tumblr.
May I please ask for a quick summary, if you're up for it? Just as much as you feel like, it doesn't have to be extensive if you do it. I would be incredibly grateful but I know it might be a lot of work. (I already know about the stuff with Cellbit's ex, but I have no idea what else has been going on with him.)
And honestly, the main thing I want to know is the situation with Richarlyson's admin. If they're no longer in the project, that's okay, it's probably best for their health and I support it. But I just need to know if they know how loved and appreciated they are. Richas was my favorite egg and the admin was my favorite admin too. I hope they're doing well, wherever they are and whoever they are.
Sincerely, some random American
Hello!
Anon I will try my best but I have to be honest with you, I haven't kept up that well since january (my mental health was really fucked from all that happened and I needed to take a step back) but from important bullet points that I can remember
Please people add onto this so anon can get a true lore recap
- we had the server restart that introduced the mechanics of coins system and all that
- the mr duck from before was apparently replaced by a mr bunny
- Badboyhalo fucking died and then came back without any memories (if you want to see him dying the stream is sweet despair and it's beautiful and sad one)
- Tubbo died too but also came back
- Creation lore (literally cannot explain this, need some tublings on the job please)
- Fit's mission deadline arrived
- Fit was sent to a pit by Madagio (his boss) and like, he is still there right now
- on Cellbit, well, he was having a skate arc (literally, he would skateboard everywhere)
That's as much as I can remember right now (it's 3am so my memory is extremely fucked) and if anyone wants to add onto this please do, clearly I couldn't remember everything lmao
Now on Richas situation, he is currently on the server, he woke up and was on Bad's stream earlier today! So he is still around and shows up on Mike's streams a lot and also Bad
I'm sorry that I couldn't be of much help </3 but like I said, january fucked with me and I couldn't keep up as much or I would get physically anxious, so

On rewatching the show, I have only just realised that Joe was a fucking virgin? Oh my god. Ming, you ANIMAL!!!!!!!
When Joe said,
Tumblr media
It just kind of drew a veil over my eyes because for some reason, I always assumed that when they were talking about virginity, they were talking strictly about him bottoming for the first time.
But no! Silly me, it's not.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Why did I think they were talking only talking about bottoming?
It makes so much more sense for Joe to be a virgin the way he's been behaving with Ming. I'm not saying all virgins are doormats, but Joe's situation is so much worse.
Imagine a touch-starved adult with low self esteem.
Just picture it.
Tumblr media
He doesn't think he's a catch. He's a professional second fiddle. The one guy he liked ran so far away, he ended up in another country. And for some reason, he's made it into adulthood with no one pursuing him romantically.
No, really.
Joe is easy. I don't say this as an insult, but as a statement of fact.
He's had a condom sitting and waiting for the first person who walks into his house. Ming or not, whoever it was, he was going to let them sleep with him.
He met Ming for the first time that day. And yet he took him home, fed him and got into bed with him.
The only reason they didn't fuck was because Ming let go and laid down. If he'd pushed just a bit more, Joe would have let him. We know this to be true.
And all this happened before Ming said:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Because the irony of this statement is that -
1. Joe has never thought there was anyone not worth his attention so if Ming was putting himself down as not worthy of Joe's attention, Joe must have felt like he'd found a kindred spirit. And,
2. Ming asked Joe to keep it for someone he'd like to treat seriously. Which, ironically, in that moment, Ming was treating Joe seriously. He was trying to tell him the gravity or handing out his virginity to just anyone. To Joe, Ming was basically painting his own picture and telling Joe to pick Ming (which is not what Ming was saying at all)
So, even though Joe had brought Ming home because he was a desperate, pent up man, by the time they went to sleep, Joe's feelings had evolved to something else.
By the time they eventually had sex, Joe was gone.
And that was his first time.
No frame of reference. No prior knowledge. Nothing with which to compare whether or not anything Ming was doing was special.
I thought he'd had some experience which was why his behaviour was a bit weird to me.
But if no one had ever made it this far in pursuing Joe, if no one had ever cared enough to get jealous and possessive of Joe, then it makes sense that he trully believes that he's not worth it. That if he doesn't do as Ming says, Ming would leave.
And it's just so unfortunate that because he poured out his heart and history to a literal stranger on that first night, Ming is also very aware of this too.

the thing about art is that it was always supposed to be about us, about the human-ness of us, the impossible and beautiful reality that we (for centuries) have stood still, transfixed by music. that we can close our eyes and cry about the same book passage; the events of which aren't real and never happened. theatre in shakespeare's time was as real as it is now; we all laugh at the same cue (pursued by bear), separated hundreds of years apart.
three years ago my housemates were jamming outdoors, just messing around with their instruments, mostly just making noise. our neighbors - shy, cautious, a little sheepish - sat down and started playing. i don't really know how it happened; i was somehow in charge of dancing, barefoot and laughing - but i looked up, and our yard was full of people. kids stacked on the shoulders of parents. old couples holding hands. someone had brought sidewalk chalk; our front walk became a riot of color. someone ran in with a flute and played the most astounding solo i've ever heard in my life, upright and wiggling, skipping as she did so. she only paused because the violin player was kicking his heels up and she was laughing too hard to continue.
two weeks ago my friend and i met in the basement of her apartment complex so she could work out a piece of choreography. we have a language barrier - i'm not as good at ASL as i'd like to be (i'm still learning!) so we communicate mostly through the notes app and this strange secret language of dancers - we have the same movement vocabulary. the two of us cracking jokes at each other, giggling. there were kids in the basement too, who had been playing soccer until we took up the far corner of the room. one by one they made their slow way over like feral cats - they laid down, belly-flat against the floor, just watching. my friend and i were not in tutus - we were in slouchy shirts and leggings and socks. nothing fancy. but when i asked the kids would you like to dance too? they were immediately on their feet and spinning. i love when people dance with abandon, the wild and leggy fervor of childhood. i think it is gorgeous.
their adults showed up eventually, and a few of them said hey, let's not bother the nice ladies. but they weren't bothering us, they were just having fun - so. a few of the adults started dancing awkwardly along, and then most of the adults. someone brought down a better sound system. someone opened a watermelon and started handing out slices. it was 8 PM on a tuesday and nothing about that day was particularly special; we might as well party.
one time i hosted a free "paint along party" and about 20 adults worked quietly while i taught them how to paint nessie. one time i taught community dance classes and so many people showed up we had to move the whole thing outside. we used chairs and coatracks to balance. one time i showed up to a random band playing in a random location, and the whole thing got packed so quickly we had to open every door and window in the place.
i don't think i can tell you how much people want to be making art and engaging with art. they want to, desperately. so many people would be stunning artists, but they are lied to and told from a very young age that art only matters if it is planned, purposeful, beautiful. that if you have an idea, you need to be able to express it perfectly. this is not true. you don't get only 1 chance to communicate. you can spend a lifetime trying to display exactly 1 thing you can never quite language. you can just express the "!!??!!!"-ing-ness of being alive; that is something none of us really have a full grasp on creating. and even when we can't make what we want - god, it feels fucking good to try. and even just enjoying other artists - art inherently rewards the act of participating.
i wasn't raised wealthy. whenever i make a post about art, someone inevitably says something along the lines of well some of us aren't that lucky. i am not lucky; i am dedicated. i have a chronic condition, my hands are constantly in pain. i am not neurotypical, nor was i raised safe. i worked 5-7 jobs while some of these memories happened. i chose art because it mattered to me more than anything on this fucking planet - i would work 80 hours a week just so i could afford to write in 3 of them.
and i am still telling you - if you are called to make art, you are called to the part of you that is human. you do not have to be good at it. you do not have to have enormous amounts of privilege. you can just... give yourself permission. you can just say i'm going to make something now and then - go out and make it. raquel it won't be good though that is okay, i don't make good things every time either. besides. who decides what good even is?
you weren't called to make something because you wanted it to be good, you were called to make something because it is a basic instinct. you were taught to judge its worth and over-value perfection. you are doing something impossible. a god's ability: from nothing springs creation.
a few months ago i found a piece of sidewalk chalk and started drawing. within an hour i had somehow collected a small classroom of young children. their adults often brought their own chalk. i looked up and about fifteen families had joined me from around the block. we drew scrangly unicorns and messed up flowers and one girl asked me to draw charizard. i am not good at drawing. i basically drew an orb with wings. you would have thought i drew her the mona lisa. she dragged her mother over and pointed and said look! look what she drew for me and, in the moment, i admit i flinched (sorry, i don't -). but the mother just grinned at me. he's beautiful. and then she sat down and started drawing.
someone took a picture of it. it was in the local newspaper. the summary underneath said joyful and spontaneous artwork from local artists springs up in public gallery. in the picture, a little girl covered in chalk dust has her head thrown back, delighted. laughing.
#writeblr#warm up#this is longer than i wanted i really considered removing that part about myself and what i went thru#but i think it really fucking bothers me that EVERY time i talk about being an artist#ppl assume i just like. had the skill and ability to drop everything and pay for grad school.#like sir i grew up poor. my house wasn't a safe space. i gave up a FREE RIDE TO LAW SCHOOL. for THIS. bc i chose it.#was it fucking hard? was i choosing the hard thing?? yes.#but we need to stop seeing artists as lazy layabouts that can ''afford'' to just ''sit around and create''#when MANY - if not MOST - of us are NOT like that. we have to work our fucking ASSES off. hard work. long and hard work#part of valuing artists is recognizing the amount we sacrifice to make our art. bc it doesn't just#like HAPPEN to us. also btw it rarely has anything to do with true talent.#speaking as someone with a chronic condition i hate when ppl are like u have it easy. like actively as i'm writing this my hands r#ACTIVELY hurting me. i haven't been posting bc my left hand was curled in a claw for the last week#this isn't fucking luck. after a certain point it's not even TALENT. it's dedication & sacrifice.#''u get to flounce around and do nothing with ur life'' is a narrative that is a direct result of capitalism#imagine if we said that about literally any other profession.#''oh so u give up 10 yrs of ur life to be a doctor? u sacrifice having a social life and u get SUPER in debt?#u need to work countless hours and it will often be thankless? well i wish i was that lucky''#we should be applying that logic to landlords ONLY#''oh ur mom and dad gave u the money to buy a house? and all u did was paint it white and rent it? huh.''

The type of Christian who asks atheists how they don't like, murder people on the reg are so funny to me because they seem to think their religion makes them the Peak of Morality when statements like "if you don't believe in God how comes you don't do X thing" all but outright state they have no idea why shit like murder and rape is bad except that God doesn't like it lmao. Like way to admit you have no intrinsic sense of morality and need to be afraid of a higher power to be a decent person, but I promise if you're not a piece of shit it's actually very natural not to want to do heinous evil shit all the time potential punishment from a higher power or not 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
#winters ramblings#seriously its SO funny when that happens because every time its like ??? the FUCK kind of thoughts do you have#to ask HOW i resist doing evil shit all the time because i dont fear god because i dont believe in God??#what kind of fucked up person do you haveto be to only resist killing people because of fear of a higher power??#these are people to avoid because typically they also come with the issue of using their religion to make any action they want#perfectly Good and Moral because GOD said it its in the BIBLE whether thats true or not and like bible or no#if you have no intrinsic sense of morality i dont want to hear about atheist morality from you lmao#not that athiests lack issues i swear to god white dudes who evangelize atheism like its their new religion#have WILDLY missed the point and often suffer the same problem as the aforementioned Christians#wherein the onky thing thats ever given them any kind of pushback is the church so they decide RELIGION is horrible and bad as a whole#which isnt true religion can be a perfectly lovely amazing thing for people but that brand of atheist#doesnt seem to understand that people turned away from the church because of wide spread abuse and discrimination not because#believing in god makes you literally mentally ill like some of these fuckos act like. abelist AND shite to religious folks in one fowl swoop#so you know atheists have problems too but like they arent making laws in their beliefs images across the world so you know#temper the criticism with how influential the group actually is although richard dawkins types DID get a lot of space to spew their idiocy#like dawkims if you think youre SOOOO much smarter than christians how come you have ALL the same misogyny problems??#youre not that smart and logical if youve decided a whole kind of person is inherently less than you buddy. in fact thats very Christian#of him actually. funny when that happens but again if you dont actually know WHY something is a problem#its very easy to say Thats Bad and then literally do the exact same thing you just condemned because when YOU do it its no longer bad#because its got YOUR flavor of fucked up morality on it now instead of being like hmm maybe Christianity isnt a problem#because it EXISTS but because a lot of people use their religion as a pointed barb to discriminate against huge swaths of people#and often the intolerance becomes a legal issue when Christians and other religious majorities shove through laws based on EXCLUSIVELY their#religions and opinions and that doesnt mean religion should be dismantled it means we ahould tell religious folk who would know what#morality was if it fucked them up the ass to shut up and figure out what morality is outside of rekigion before they start legislating about#it and whatnot. also i wish extreme opinions werent ALL the news focused on exclusively on the political right#can we platform some NORMAL well adjusted christians who are god loving AND not a bunch of wingnuts#who are two steps away from arguing thou shall not kill only applies to people they LIKE because they dont seem to understand#maybe murder is bad when EVERYONE does it not just The Bad People??!?!

now that I'm done imagining a jar of peanut butter, can I just say that I love that Shane and Ryan have shifted away from traditional true crime to just shootin' the shit about weird-ass mysteries?
I always liked the "let's talk about weird mysteries" aspect of buzzfeed unsolved, but being real with you, I'm uncomfortable with true crime and the culture surrounding it. like... as someone who lost a loved one to a violent (and temporarily unsolved) crime, I've seen firsthand how internet theorizing can make a traumatizing time even harder and like. it's fucking rough, man.
I get that it makes money and all (which... is a whole other can of worms) but when you view human suffering as entertainment, it's so easy to forget about the real people who will actually be affected by what's put out there on the internet.
so I'm happy that Shane and Ryan seem to be leaning a lot more into "wow, some unhinged shit happened! how fucked up is that?" on mystery files. more of this, please!!

I am so fucking sick of living with my roommate and his fuck ass boyfriend. Also watching my roommate burn every single one of his (already rather minimal, I might add) bridges for this guy is also kind of painful but also his relationship with me is one of said bridges so I'm almost past the point of even feeling bad for him lmao
#i have had to piss for probably the better part of an hour now#because they decided to take a shower together and have been in there for well OVER an hour now#and this is a nightly occurence atp sometimes MULTIPLE times a day#we have one bathroom.... can yall not be considerate enough to not be in there for up to TWO HOURS AT A TIME???#also it's such a waste of fucking water....#idk we've hit a point where i literally hear the bf doing anything and i get pissed off#but also tell me why i'm sitting in my room (which shares a wall with the bathroom) and i can hear this man hacking and spitting shit up#and this is also something that happens multiple times a day#like.... dude.... why are you spitting up toothpaste so fucking loudly oh my fucking god#but yeah no i'm like my roommate's only friend atp and he's about to not have me lmao like we're about to reach#'i'm cutting you off when i move out' levels of me being pissed off with this whole situation type shit#and apparently the bf convinced him to come out to his family which his mom was chill which is good#his dad's side of the family though....? not great. and my roommate KNEW that would be the case cuz we'd talked about it before#also love that my roommate has constantly talked about moving out of the city we live in because he hates and also there's no good career#opportunities for him here (which is true)#and now. MAGICALLY. he's like 'idk i think it'd be best for me to stay here'#like oh my GOD???? are you hearing yourself???? are you fucking stupid???? you fucking hate it here???#but sure throw your life away and ruin all your meaningful relationships for a guy you met six months ago jfc#and the thing is i *know* my roommate we've been close CLOSE friends for nearly a decade now#i know he is not like this.... like yeah he's being insane by allowing this but also i know these aren't the kinds of decisions he would ma#and also i know he wouldn't treat me like this all on his own#it's the deranged fucking control freak of a guy he decided to date and my roommate has too many of his own issues to put his foot down#about certain things and tell the guy no so he's just allowing him to completely take over his life#and fuck everything up until the bf is the only thing he has left once it's all said and done#and yeah. it's painful to watch. but also wtf am i supposed to do because obviously my opinion is not respected nor wanted regarding this#that has been made PAINFULLY clear#ugh this is so fucking horrendous#what is it with ppl who start to date someone and then go clinically fucking insane and destroy their lives all for this one person#who. realistically. they barely know in comparison to all the other ppl in their life#like explain it to me jfc

Minor thing that really irks me is when people treat the femc route in p3 portable as like the lesser story or like it’s a fanfic where nothing that happens in it is the “true” canon like. Bitch. The femc and everything that happens in her version of the story is just as canon as the male protagonist and everything that happens in his story. And there’s literally been so many fucking versions of p3 at this point like the base game, fes, portable, the movies, stage plays, reload, as well as spinoffs and manga and they all do things differently. I don’t see anyone acting like the base game is more canon than, say, reload so why do they do this with portable? Why can’t the (infinitely superior) version with the female protagonist just be respected for five fucking minutes goddamn
#persona#persona 3#kotone shiomi#its the misogyny yay#but god i am so tired of her game being treated as not actually canon like it literally is#theres multiple canons dipshit there is no true version of this game#and also people saying she doesnt fit the theme or some shit like. she literally does??? and honestly she does it better#like you can really feel the love she brings to the group and how she gives everything life and helps everyone#but also just how it all comes with pain she smiles and befriends everyone but shes always been so deeply alone and she doesnt want anyone#to feel the pain shes felt and so she carries all those burdens on her own and when everyone goes to reach out for her#its too late far too late shed sacrifice herself over and over for these people and theyll never once see her cry#she also you know. actually has good social links and gets to know everyone not just people she wants fuck#so you get to see just infinitely better versions of every character with her she really does bring out the best in them#and another thing in particular with the disrespect of her story is the way shinji living is treated again just like#some kinda fanfic au by someone who didnt wanna cope with their blorbo dying like ughh#shinji surviving is just as canon as him dying there is an entire canon where he gets a happy ending and it is once again#much better than versions where he dies like ive. exhausted myself with explaining it but its just better#so yeah basically out of spite i like acting like kotones story is actually the one true canon#and when people mention stuff that isnt in her story im like ‘huh? what? that didnt happen’#cuz whos gonna stop me

Twitter getting obsessed with conspiracy theories about where redacted is makes me feel so fucking terrible when there is so much worse going on that people are literally begging you to pay attention to but instead you want to focus on scenarios you made up in your head and play true crime detective
#i saw five hundred women tweeting things like i am going to sound soo crazy at work talking about this 🤣🤣#you need to get the fuck off of twitter number one#ik i sound like i am on twitter too much but i genuinely have just been clicking on what's trending these past few days i have been sick#and its like yes the royal family sucks for five thousand reasons but there are actual atrocities happening right in front of our eyes#that are not a fucking mystery and you guys would rather think of literally anything else#based off of nothing. like i have been a billion tweets the past few days confidently listing off scenarios they know have happened to her#like yay you're so true crime you figured it out and its not even like these people care about women's well being either bc i saw all...#...kinds of nasty shit said about her when she said she was sick in the first place and all kinds of bad comments about how sick pregnancy.#...makes her feel so obviously on the most basic level you don't care about women to act like you now have a narrative from a true crime...#...podcast to project to someone. like you guys will get so distracted by anything#don't get me started on the oscars#everything feels so fucking bleak lately i also don't know how stuff like the election doesn't make everyone feel like they're losing it#like yeah the guy in the movie that's supposed to be about being a girl sang a little song does no one realize how all they're talking...#...about is the guy yet#wait no they're more worried about a bad photoshop than the massive amount of pictures of dead people my bad

i send my friend suggestions of tourist places to see in his new country (his contract was extended, lucky him!) or messages about friend of friends i have living there that he could maybe meet for fellow americans to talk to, and his response is always that he doesnt have time. and not in that exaggerated way that people do to seem busy. but in that bone tired way i recognize from him here in LA, that i recognize in myself.
#jrnlsht#i watch the lives of my friends who have Made It on social media and its like looking through glass into another world i cant relate to#theyre so happy and confident and successful and its beautiful#you know whats a funny thing about LA#so many people on the on*line da*ting apps put *successful* on their list of requirements in the people they want to date#like theres a bar of entry and if you haven't reached a certain goal post like... blue check marks on your social media or a level of wealt#then they arent even going to want to get to know you#and its so antithetical to how i was raised i cant even comprehend#and yet i see it happening to my own relationships#in pittsburgh i had friends from literally ALL walks of life from people who made even less money than me to comfortable to fairly wealthy#here my friends are almost entirely of one professional class#and i have been observing how my hyper wealthy friends self select in who they interact with to maintain this wealthy bubble around them#i dont think it's entirely intentional but its also not not intentional if you know what i mean#anyway its one of the reasons i fucking loved the talk on saturday oh my god those two were a breath of fresh air i needed so much#these smart genius dudes built their own life and instead of constantly looking up for more and more personal gain#they paused and looked at the people still desperately trying to rise#and were like if i have gotten this far why cant i help you do it too and then they DID IT they actually started helping#i think that is the true meaning of success

I keep on seeing these edits of Steve Harrington with that song, idk it's name but is like 'I just meet my dad in 1985' or smth like that and now I lowkey want a fic where this dude's kid somehow time travels and actually meets his dad in 1985. At this point I don't even care about the ship, I just want some random kid to show up one day, look at Steve and be like 'Fuck. Dad???'
Just imagine the comedy. But also the drama if it's either Nancy's kid or if Eddie's their other father- cuz I think by 1985 Nancy and Steve broke up already??? And she's dating Jonathan??? Gold. And they didn't even got to interact with Eddie yet so everyone is gonna be like 'Eddie??? The Munson kid???'
#even funnier if the kid is going around the town with the Party and at some point sees Eddie and comments like 'Damm. Father's hair has#always been that long???' and everyone is loosing their shit#i just need this little kid to mind blow everyone#bonus points if the kid knows a little bit about the Upside Down. not enough to like change some events/prevent most of the shit from#happening. just enough to make comments about it#like the whole mall things happens and they are like 'Huh. So that's what father (Eddie)/mom meant when she said dad got a bad experience#with the Russians'#or they just found Eddie and the kid is all like 'Ahhh. Now I see why you guys wouldn't tell me how you meet'. Stuff like that#also the kid calling everyone either aunt or uncle and Steve's heart is literally melting because that means everyone stays in his life for#good and that right therr is really his family#EVEN FUNNIER IF THE KID IS NOT AN ONLY CHILD and they are all like 'oh yeah I have five other siblings'#I think that's when Steve actually starts crying because it sounds too good to be true#stranger things#stranger things steve#steddie#stranger things steddie#or stancy I guess??? however you wanna play it man#i'm a multishiper first and whatever society expects of me later#is it the ship name stancy tho???? idk#even fucking funnier if the kid's other parent is straight up Jonathan#the kid is either having Will's personality or Erica's i don't get criticisms.#keep in mind that I didn't/don't watch stranger things so idk what's going on most of the time
