#but thats for a different post

having the player never hear corvo speak or see his reflection was one of the best decisions dh1 made. when your character loses his life's focal point, proceeds to get tortured for six months, and literally undergoes rebirth and apotheosis his existence turns liminal. corvo is real bc the violence (the knife: daud) is, bc the future (emily) is, bc dunwall is. he becomes jessamine's inverse--a body trapped for the empire, with the only power of choice he wields being the ability to inflict the horrors of the system on the people he's replacing in it

Okay so. Theory time.

I think season 3 will have Aziraphale and Crowley working against each other, for real. At least at first. Aziraphale will be working on bringing about another apocalypse (perhaps thinking it's for the greater good). The Metatron will be pressuring and manipulating Aziraphale heavily.

Crowley though, will be trying to save the earth. It isn't like last time, because he knows Aziraphale is alive. But since he left, the world is all Crowley has left. And he will try to protect it.

Anime may have fucked up many things but at least we got

I didn't have much time to give it a rewatch- life is weird this week- but his face is like therapy itself

just watched the new knives out and while I really liked it I have to admit that it kinda fell flat compared to the last one.

the first knives out was a murder investigation that really leaned into the class warfare aspect of it all. it was dark, brutal, and heartfelt.

this one..... don't get me wrong it was heartfelt and the characters were the best part of the movie. but the story itself kinda shot itself in the foot by making the disruptors all already successful people at the top who really shouldn't be beholdant to some billionaire. like yeah he bankrolled them but so could Cassandra and making the suspects retroactively suspicious rather than actively malicious is what made this one feel less compelling than the first movie.

They also kept referencing a frankly more compelling mystery that already took place in the past rather than making it about that court case. essentially the theme should have been that the rich and successful are those willing to exploit others and risk lives for profit rather than "billionaires aren't (always) worthy of praise"

but this all rises from a more fundamental issue in the story. the twist in this one wasn't a story twist but a meta narrative twist. and that's ok for a movie in a long standing ontology that wants to freshen up and break the status quo but this was the second movie and everyone expected knives out not Agatha Kristy. everyone WANTED another knives out. you have to establish a pattern and get your audience used to trying to solve actually complex mysteries before you can surprise them with a simple one.

we should have been the ones yelling about how annoyingly simple the mystery is alongside Benoit, but we didn't because we haven't been solving these complex riddles for years only he.

That being said I really did like it I just know it could have been better and I was absolutely in love with the character work they did. the characters were great, the story was meh.

TLDR: this would have been a great 6th movie and hopefully next one will have a compelling story as well as good characters

sometimes, it's not so much about the romance as it is about the devotion. the adoration.

i think the funniest thing about working in childcare is watching kids minds explode when they figure out someone is different than them. like not in a mean way but a like. genuinely surprised and curious way like yesterday i was talking to kids and one of them said something that i responded to with “oh gods” and they stopped and was like “...gods???” and i just smiled and said “mhm, that’s what i believe in” and this kid stares at me for a few seconds before just smiling and continuing the conversation its the small things in life (literally)

look this site really is awful for ppl with OCD so i just wanna reassure anyone that you are not Tainted Forever for consuming a piece of media with questionable content. the fact that youre able to recognize it speaks to your critical thinking skills, which is good, certain depictions should be critiqued. but you dont need to ruminate on it to the point where you begin to feel guilty for simply witnessing gross or creepy writing choices. you dont have to vindicate yourself to the fictional tumblr discourser inside your head, saying that youre now a bad person bc you watched the wrong anime. your actual response to it still matters of course, but thats that and this is this. just seeing it is neutral, you didnt commit a thought crime. its literally fine.

IF YOU ARE USING THIS POST TO ONLY FURTHER YOUR STUPID PEDANTIC BLACK-AND-WHITE DISCOURSE TO GET A "GOCHA" OVER THE OTHER SIDE YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. DON'T USE OUR DISORDER TO VINDICATE YOUR BEHAVIOR. THOUGHT CRIMES ARENT REAL BUT ACTIONS STILL MATTER. PEOPLE WITH OCD ARE CAPABLE OF THINKING CRITICALLY ABOUT OUR ACTIONS AND RESPONSES, EVEN WITH INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS AND RUMINATIONS. TREATING US AS IF WE CANNOT, ONLY TO FORCE US TO USE YOUR STRINGENT UNNUANCED DISCOURSE OPINIONS ABOUT "PURITY CULTURE" (TRIGGERING TO THOSE WITH OCD) AS THE ONLY REASONABLE GUIDE DOES MORE TO EXACERBATE OUR OBSESSIONS THAN HELP US. YOU ARE THE ISSUE AS WELL. YOU ARE ALSO THE TUMBLR DISCOURSER INSIDE OUR HEADS. DO NOT USE US FOR YOUR DISCOURSE. WE ARE PEOPLE, NOT HYPOTHETICALS TO USE TO EXPLAIN IF YOUR FROZEN INCEST FANFICTION IS OKAY OR NOT. TREATING US AS IF WE CANNOT AUTONOMOUSLY HAVE OUR OWN OPINIONS ON WHEN MEDIA IS TANGIBLY HARMFUL IS ABLEIST. FORCING US TO ABIDE BY YOUR IN-GROUP'S SET OF UNEQUIVOCAL MORALS IS ABLEIST. ACTING AS THOUGH THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR US IS MINDLESS MEDIA CONSUMPTION IN WHICH "EVERY DEPICTION OF XYZ, NO MATTER HOW POORLY DONE OR EXPLOITATIVE, IS ALWAYS OKAY AND IF YOU DISAGREE YOURE ACTUALLY AN EVIL 'ANTI'" IS ABLEIST. THOSE ARE THE SAME BLACK-AND-WHITE MORALS THAT SEND US INTO OBSESSIVE SPIKES, BUT FLIPPED. A SET OF MORALS IN WHICH QUESTIONING THE IMPACT OF A PIECE OF WORK MAKES YOU AN "EVIL CONSERVATIVE PURITAN "ANTI"" DOES NOT HELP MORAL OCD.

YOU ARE THE DAMN TUMBLR DISCOUERSERS MAKING THIS SHIT WORSE FOR US! YOURE THE EXACT SAME BUT WITH FLIPPED BUZZWORDS! YOU'RE MISSING THE WHOLE DAMN POINT!

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

the difference between karkat and kankri when it comes to their shared aspect of blood is that karkat, as a knight, will protect and cultivate the bonds between his friends and will form connections with others easily due to his empathetic nature, even if said others are fucked up people in the eyes of others (see: his whole deal with spades slick, the way he formed moriallegience with rampaging gamzee), people naturally come into his orbit, meanwhile kankri being a seer doesnt want to create a connection between himself and others, but he wants to understand and study how those bonds work between people, basically looking outside in on the relationships and forming a list of do's and dont's when it comes to cultivating that connection

in other words, karkats that one motherfucker at the party whos somehow friends with everyone here, no matter their background, and everyone fucking loves that foul-mouthed guy, meanwhile kankri is standing in the corner like a creep and nobody knows exactly what his deal is but he knows what everyones deal is and somehow has knowledge of all of partygoers dirty laundry, even if theyve never seen him in their fucking life
