The whole time I've been reading Flatland I've tried to picture what a comparable version of it would be for a 4 dimensional being visiting a 3 dimensional being. I've been picturing 4d vision as being able to see the entire surface area of a 3d object all at once, but now I think that might be comparable to a 2d person thinking that 3d vision only means being able to see all of the exterior edges of an object at once, without picturing any of the planes that connect the lines. I think a more accurate description of 4d vision might involve being able to see *every single* cross-section of a 3d object all at once, from *every possible* angle at once, as one coherent visual whole. And the idea of someone being able to see every single cross-section of a body all at once, brain and guts and everything, laid out all together as if on a flat plane, is a horrifying mental image

As an apology for tsukasa posting here’s more emunene. Would like to emphasize that this is before the “dear friend” thing so emu said all of this and nene STILL didn’t realize emu loves spending time with her & wants to always be around her. Nene Kusanagi peak lesbian moments “you’re so amazing being around you makes me happy” (cut to nene with her head in her hands 2 hrs later) “what did she mean by that… does she even like me…”

Man I dunno, I just don't know if this is the direction the series should have taken, it's too different now.
I mean for one Custom Robo was never quite this dark-

“Joel and I aren’t good people.”
Hey hbo... hey hey hey buddy, Pal. you know instead of Telling us that you could’ve Showed us?
like you know Maybe perhaps by letting us see her kill Robert with cold blood? Or by letting us See Tess hold Ellie at a gunpoint after finding out she’s infected? By letting us see how she would kill a kid just like FEDRA would if it meant she and Joel were safe?
Or.. You Know...... by writing a new scene that wasn’t in the game but would have accomplished the same thing?

Are you enjoying One Piece?!! How far are you?
I AM, VERY MUCH SO!! I told myself I’d skip over all the filler episodes but I ended up watching the Warship Island arc purely by accident bc I didn’t realize I’d started the filler. But it was so cute anyway I watched all of it. I loved seeing the crew act as older sibling/guardian figures to Apis 🥺
Anyway I JUST got past the mini arc with Laboon, so we’re in the Grand Line, baby!! I’d probably be way further ahead if I also wasn’t watching Fairy Tail at the same time. Oops lol

one thing i really fucking hate about some movies and shows (and what makes me doubt the effectiveness of them) is when they dont have faith in their audience to remember little details/ understand the weight of a detail that has already been revealed. like when a character mentions something that, to a viewer who doesn’t have the background information, can seem vague. so it cuts to a flashback FROM A PREVIOUS EPISODE… SOMETHING THEYVE ALREADY SHOWN… i hate it!!!! like stop wasting my time!!! let me connect the dots myself!!!!!!! its not black and white though, i think flashbacks to something already shown can be artful, surrealist, thoughtful, or even stress the importance of an event on a character and its impact on their worldview. but like . it has to have purpose other than going “hey remember this thing that happened a few episodes/ seasons ago?” like FUCK OFF !!!! perhaps it would serve more of a purpose in a time where the details werent easily accessible via the internet but i just hate it. that’s why i liked westworld so much.. it didnt do that but it was almost closer to the other end of the horseshoe where you’d be confused/ miss something and have to watch previous episodes over again since it was densely packed in some aspects. i think some people didn’t like the show because of that very reason or maybe felt like there were some opulent gilded maguffins but idk i didnt feel that way and actually i enjoy hunting for details to connect dots i think its fun i love feeling like charlie kelly pepe silvia
