So apparently I hate myself.
I learned that there is a Gold Mario you can unlock on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe by receiving a gold trophy in all the 12 base cups at 200cc.
Now, my happy ass, having not achieved a golden trophy in 150cc decides "sounds like fun! I'm sure this couldn't possibly make me feel a disproportionate amount of rage to funi pixel car racing game!"
It can. Very much so.
To prove my point I'm firing up the notes app and cataloging my thoughts as I play each of these cups. Here ya go, cup 1 (also it starts off weird but only because i started after clearing attenpt 1):
Cup 1 (Mushroom)
• If you're in first no you're not
• HOW TF DID I GO FROM FIRST TO 8TH IN LIKE 2 SECONDS BULLSHIT
• God the lakitu's applause is such condescending bullshit
• 1 POINT AWAK FROM RANK.3
• racing on 200cc will end more relationships than uno
• Fuck you Shy Guy you stole first place AT THE LAST SECOND
• If someone tells you to touch grass just set them on Mario Circuit for 200cc
• Hope ya like WALLS
• No seriously do they have magnets
• WATER PARK 1ST PLACE LETS GOOOOOOO
• Oh to be naive and like Sweet Sweet Canyon
• Protip, use mushrooms on the terrain patches
• not like it matters because PEACH AND SHY GUY ARE SPAWNS OF SATAN
• I remember when Thwomp Ruins was my map. Oh to be young.
• Tbf there is like one section of grass I use as a shortcut that kiiiiiinda helps?
• Of course it only works if you don't go off the edge before the glider section
• HA dumb bitch
• Holy shit there's distance between me and the CPUs? Damn God likes me for once
• Final lap DONT FUCK IT UP MARIO
• AND YA DIDNT FUCK IT UP HOORAH FOR JUMPMAN
• ig DONT GO FOR THE BLOCKS on the path right before the glider section on thwomp ruins if you wanna win on 200cc
• YESSSSS GOLD TROPHY 1 DOWN, 11 MORE TO GO
Attempts: 2

I'm reading The Vampire Chronicles right now and I need you who haven't read these books to know, there is a scene in book 5 where Lestat eats period blood, full on Saltburn style, and Armand is there watching it happen (and so is another character you don't know yet), oh and during all this Lestat is also freshly missing an eye (which he lost in actual Hell in a struggle against the Devil) oh and the woman he's eating out is a televangelist who knows Lestat killed her father but is cool with it and this is all played 100% seriously

city of heavenly fire is the tsc book if you think about it like it's so good. ended tmi with such a bang that it evaluated the series to new heights. wrapped up a six book series while setting up the next one, and on top of that incorporated the prequel and managed to do all three well. literally so many iconic and funny moments come from this book. also ended on a really hopeful note with the found family reuniting and being together after everything like 10/10. truly the cornerstone of this fandom.
