a little over a month after max ended things with lucas a girl in her spanish class aproched her and asked if “lucas sinclar” is single. apparently she thinks he’s cute and has seen them hanging out. “no, he isn’t single” is what max wants to say because if she sticks to her plan of mourning their relationship for the rest of high school so should he, even if max was the one who broke it off. but max is a good person so she says “yeah he’s single.” but not that good so she adds “he just got out of a relationship though, and he’s not over her” and since she’s already crossed that first line “i actually wouldn’t even try.”

max only lasts an hour or two before she feels so guilty she tells lucas there’s a girl in her spanish class that he should ask out cause she thinks he’s cute. lucas is a little offended that his ex is trying to play matchmaker on principle but also because he was sort of planning on mourning his and max’s relationship for the rest of high school

Christmas to me is the yearly reminder of "holy shit, I share DNA with these people". It's the season of complete disbelief of how progressively dysfunctional my family is. The racist discussions at the dinner table. The gathering of smart asses who swear they know history better than me, someone who studied history. The constant belittling of every life decision I make. I've learnt to let it all go and have since years back actually proudy accepted that it is what it is and these people not only do not bring me joy, they're irritating to be nearby. But today I was actually fucking blown away at the sheer level of dysfunction and disconnect my dad showed. This man took a video call from his partner, a woman I met once and all I know about ehr is that she's russian. She's never tried to talk to me and likewise he has never attempted to introduce her to my life. All of a sudden, mid dinner, he turns the phone to me and shows me this woman whose face doesn't even match my memory. And then the camera pans and there's a child there. This child looks to be about 3YO and my dad just shows this kid to me and goes "Look at [her name]!" and right now I'm on camera with a kid who is staring puzzingly at me and I'm like. WHo the fuck is this kid? Where did a 3 year old come from? The camera pans back to the woman and she's so obviously uncomfortable with just the sight of me and we're both awkwardly looking at a screen pretending we know who we are, and then back to the kid. My dad's on the phone going "say hi to Ana!!!!!!!" and I just keep. "WHo the fuck is this?" and it hits me. it just. I can't describe how fucking unbelievable this is, but the sheer insanity of my thought process, of the situation itself, is something straight out of the fakest r/AmITheAsshole post. I just casually think. "Did this man have a child? This my 70-something year old father have a fucking kid with some russian woman in her what, 30s? Is he talking about her like I just knew this?"

and then I was reminded of how my brother told my mother first that his wife was expecting, and my mother told the entire dentist office, and no one told me until I found out by accident.

The moment my parents die, I'm out of everyone's lives. Fuck these people holy shit

It's been a while since I've remarked on the Imogen with glasses thing (despite being one of the Patient Zeroes for the discussion about it here on Tumblr Way Back When), which has been slowly going out of vogue but apparently is still being discussed, but I feel like at this point, it's noteworthy that Laura has alluded to knowing about it as a trend on-stream and has sounded baffled, confused, and upset about it being so popular.

Also, it remains frustrating how people misinterpret "the specific way that this entered fanon was part of an overall series of changes to make Imogen look 'cute' in a way that made her more childlike, which is infantilizing, with these glasses being a specific element named as something that made her cuter, and the specific recurring styling speaks toward that intent, especially since the glasses are often in conjunction with other specific design changes that make her seem more childlike" to be "having glasses is infantilizing" just so they can go "it's so stupid people think having glasses alone is infantilizing", which is not what anyone is saying

...It's kind of wild when the terf that you got into a fight with and had to write an essay on "Why violence is wrong" back in high school now works at the pharmacy where you get your medication from...

obsessed with my silly lil au that's simmering away in my brain and torn between just laying out all the details in random tumblr posts and shutting up and actually writing something about it alsjflksdfs i wish i could write quicker i wish i could draw at all i wish it were easier

i got a humble bundle like 2 years ago bc there were 2 specific games i wanted from it + it was cheaper than buying either of them individually + I didn't even LOOK at the other stuff in it but now every couple of months someone will mention a game that sounds cool as hell and I'll search it up on steam and discover I already own it. gift that keeps on giving for reaaal

LISTEN I KNOW HOW IT SOUNDS BUT I SWEAR HE WAS DISTINCT FROM RGGJO STILL 😭😭😭 HIS DESIGN WAS LOUD IN A DIFFERENT WAY 😭😭😭😭😭 though As A Whole it was probably the result of someone saying he should go full RGGJo in 8 several months prior to when I had the dream, so not wrong. But it would be fun to see a shift from "Nothing in life matters...😞" to "Nothing in life matters! 😎" would it not...

I've always thought Drink Link was meant to evoke Social Link? Because in Japan it was called #DRAMA. I was never the biggest fan because it's one of many "translations" in Y7 that are just changing something that was already in English and doesn't require cultural context to understand. Like IMO whether it's seen as an improvement or not, it's just not the localizers' job to "improve on" the original; let them be cringe and let them be free...

And also it gave ammunition to Persona fans who refuse to experience anything but P5 and decided to go "wow! it's just like P5!" at every little thing Y7 did from the VERY FIRST trailers onward (including BE AN RPG) And That Shit Got Old Fast </3 Sorry </3 But I do think this one's very much on purpose, localization-wise. So I forgive you :)

RANTING ASIDE. OR. SEGUEING INTO MORE RANTING. Literally like I don't even care if it's as part of the Kasugang or Kiryu's Geezer Squad... Give Jo five minutes with Tendo or hand him over to me so I can make sure he's enriched and well-nourished... these are my demands... that man is my everything......

Because it would be SO funny both ways. We don't know who all will be in each party, so either he's stuck with Adachi (Definitely A Character) (Affectionate) (Also Has Already Told Him He'd Rather Kill Him Than Send Him To Jail So. Awkward) or maybe with Kiryu's he'd have more people around his agw, But if not, The Inherent Comedy of two bitches called Jo and Joryu who have almost the same haircut 💀💀

Exactly though, nobody in the Arakawa Family is neurotypical and I FULLY believe Jo would be at his best when put into Situations, like Mine is. It's something I reeeally miss from RGGO because of the pre-finale scene with RGGJo and Mitsu having a drink at their favorite bar... they haven't been there in a while, and RGGJo doesn't wanna spoil the mood, so he's not hostile in the slightest... and when he gets up to leave he says he "forgot his wallet" and makes Mitsu foot the bill (ICONIC for completely different reasons depending on whether he's telling the truth or not)... whereas in Y7 I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE ARAKAWAS HAVE A FAVORITE BAR

it could be funny- whiplash inducing, but that'd undoubtedly be why it'd be funny wouldn't it ♪(´▽｀) he could've been some sacred third thing- just more RGGJo influence injected in Y7Jo mayhaps..

anyhow it dont sound like you forgive me when you just got mad at persona players for makin comparisons and here ive gone and done such a thing LMAO（；´д｀）（；´д｀）in any case, i know how you feel about translations so i wont press the topic: if it aint broke etc etc, i understand how you feel so it's ok (❁´◡`❁;;)

double 'jo' def woulda been funny, if not has always been a small thing worth jokin bout that ive had in the back of my mind (though ive already said that: i have a broken record of a brain at this point, if not that it just points out how silly i find the idea) LMAO. i've always enjoyed antag-turned-party member anyhow, so it wouldve been fun to me regardless of what it brought ♪(´▽｀)

Hey - first of all, huge fan of all your tags! I’m currently rewatching cm and I read all your post before each episode. Do you have any thoughts on why the chose to introduce Rossi by making him the most unlikeable character ever? I know I’m gonna like him after a few seasons, but I’m currently watching season 3 and he is just the worst omg. I just don’t understand why they started of by making him so horrible and rude in his first few episode

awww ty this is so nice!! i love when ppl think of my blog when they watch cm, it makes me feel like im brainwashing everyone~~

i have no fucking clue what they were thinking when they brought rossi along. gideon was such a good character that the odds were stacked against any replacement from the beginning, but rossi really is… the worst of the worst in his season debut. i think maybe they were trying to make him a bit more edgy/rugged than gideon’s professor-y vibes? like one thing i do love about rossi’s character is that he was introduced while bird hunting—very different than gideon’s bird watching. i wish they had played a little more with that dichotomy, there really coulda been something thhere. but noooo they had to go and make him the most unlikable person, give him uninteresting storylines, then pretend none of it ever happened and have him settle into the grandpa role

i much prefer mild-mannered, occasionally-a-bitch later seasons rossi bc he is AWFUL in the third season. like?? rude for no reason?? arrogant?? selfish?? conceited??? bigoted???? all of my least favorite character traits rolled up to make the most unlikable man possible. i mean a cop show is already bad enough, but you know things are going downhill fast when they bring out the military backstory. boring, overdone, uninteresting—and thats other than the blatant propaganda. at the very least he makes it easy to skip many many episodes that season :pp

in 2023 I gotta learn to let go being annoyed by statements like "I forget not everyone knows this". actually I changed my mind and it's everyone else who should stop saying it for me

(I've had my chatty medicines so you get a post about this)

There is something distinctly and uniquely alienating and bizarre about hearing people say 'Easter Sunday is the most religious day of the year'. Like, when was this?? If it's so religious and so so so important, how come no one thought to tell me it was religious until like four or five years ago?

Yeah it's kinda funny but I'm also sat there every time like "what the fuck are you talking about". The assumption I was raised Christian and am Christian via culture is really funny though cause like. Bro I have no fucking clue what any of this stuff is about.

My parents never taught me the majority of this shit. Anyone else assumed I already knew about it. This Easter talk I've been hearing about a weird amount more than normal is all new to me and making me think of all this shit lmao

AU Where the Justice League forms as usual except for one slight difference where Bruce just so happens to have been the one superheroing for the longest. (Excluding Diana, who got up to it in World War 1 and then mostly didn't while she learned about Man's World)

Bruce helps form the Justice League, ignoring all of the comments as they come to the sudden realization that Gotham's baby cryptid story is actually a man in a very intimidating armored suit who can and will break your arm if you cause problems for him. They are unaware that this is not the first team he's led, and actually he's used to teams full of mostly teenagers who also happen to be his children. This should be easier, this team is primarily adults.

He realizes rapidly that he doesn't understand these people.

His kids take bonding activities to mean learning a dozen different ways to break someones leg. That doesn't fly with these people. And that is most of Bruce's ideas, hell when he was a kid Alfred took every opportunity to get him out of his room and mostly that was with the agreement that Alfred would teach him how to defend himself. He's come by it honestly.

This team is not easier. They have more drama than when his house was actually full of kids. It's insane. He doesn't know what to do with it, usually he just sent the kids to their rooms or grounded them from patrol. That doesn't work here.

He comes to a strange crossroads. That falls apart when he forgets who he's working with and snaps at Hal with a full room of heroes that the next person to throw a punch or an insult without a reason too will be sparring with him.

A long standing rule in the batcave that worked two fold to prevent infighting between the kids and too ensure that they were well and truly trained.

It works wonders. No one says a word out of line for the rest of the debrief. Bruce becomes the unofficial mediator of the league over Clark because anytime he walked in on a fight it suddenly became 10 times more civil out of sheer terror of what he'd do to them in a sparring match.

Eventually they actually meet his kids. Well, one kid.

Half way through a mission (one of the rare ones in Gotham) the Bat comes to a complete stop at the edge of an alley. Every single league member on the team comes to a stop behind him. Slowly from the shadows of the alley a man in a red helmet stalks out to greet them.

"You don't call, you don't write"

"Red Hood."

"Don't Red Hood me! We've been worried sick!"

"I was at the cave last night."

"You didn't answer my texts B. You always answer my texts."

Somehow it ends with big and scary following them through the rest of the mission with a running commentary of how much Bats has let him down in his failure to respond in a timely manner to a text send less than an hour before he ran into them in the alley. It only ends when Red Robin shows up.

And even then it only ends because Hood can't keep himself from throwing a punch and Bruce has to snap at him that if he throws another one they're sparring when they get home.

And by god is Jason giving up the chance to punch his brothers.
