#im actually not sure if ive posted these before???

[ddlcbrainrot]

sorry if this has been asked before,,, but how good do we think the dokis are at singing. like ranking them best to least best. i don't think anyone is actually bad, just not as good as the others maybe

i like to imagine either yuri or monika, yuri because its the classic "shy girl has a beautiful voice" trope and monika because it's canon (kind of???)

i actually dont think ive been asked this which is kind of funny considering i started this blog posting about a band au lol

anyway, i think it makes sense for monika to have the best voice. its probably very pretty and the others (sayori) ask her to sing all the time. also she has perfect pitch bc ofc she does

i think natsuki's and sayori's voices would be on the same wavelength in terms of how good they are. so, nothing special but definitely not bad. the main difference would be the confidence levels they have when it comes to singing. i think natsuki doesnt mind singing, especially if she's with her friends and they are all having fun. actually she and monika probably drag the club to karaoke nights sometimes. sayori on the other hand doesnt feel as comfortable singing. i said this before, but sayori is definitely the type to do silly voices when singing bc she's insecure about her voice

yuri is the one im on the fence about bc on one hand, the "quiet girl has a beautiful voice" cliche is a nice one but on the other hand, as a completely tone-deaf person myself, i think tone-deaf yuri has unlimited comedic opportunities. like imagine the girls are convinced yuri is just shy and try to get her to sing. and she eventually gets the courage to do and afterwards the girls stare in disbelief bc they dont know what to say, they dont want to hurt her feelings bc they know how hard it is for yuri to put herself out there like that but also they r pretty sure the neighbour's dog is barking bc she reached frequencies only it can hear and NOT in a good way

Yesterday i got the craziest message out of the blue .. My ex bf from 2011-2013's other ex gf who he was with before me hit me up to say that he got arrested?? And that her and like 5 other people are pressing charges against him for assault spanning across all different periods of time.. it's really wild idk how to feel. She said if i feel comfortable i can give my own testimony for when they go to court , even tho i dont live in england anymore.. Im like yeah honestly i will because like this dude is so unrelentingly violent and scary he legit almost killed me it was so extreme, i've known a lot of corrupt ppl but he is the only one i've always thought needs to be locked away from society like it's a murder scene waiting to happen not to mention he is just a straightup rapist

it's crazy too cus like 4 or 5 nights ago i had a dream that me and him and the girl who messaged me were all watching videos of ourselves in that time period like i even posted about it on here. i thought it was just a typical trauma processing dream not an actual premonition of something i would have to revisit irl

She said something about how she'd been looking back in her old fb messages with him to help paint a picture of the timeline so out of morbid curiosity today i checked to see if i still had ours. Sure enough i do, i've never looked at them retroactively before, but holy shit like... He is so much more of a monster than i even remembered, i dont get triggered easily anymore but it genuinely hurt my heart to see how horrible he was. Every conversation is just him snapping at me because i didnt respond to him fast enough or something so minor, and the whole time im just trying to apologize and de-escalate but it makes him more and more furious. the day before i was about to fly to london to move back in with him he was threatening to kill himself because i was going to my friends house to say bye to them. He was like "You're going to a party i just know it you're lying to me you'd never tell me you're really going to a party because you know i'm suicidal you've ruined my night you're a piece of shit" Like this was the NIGHT before i was about to leave everything behind just for him

i'm like rly shocked at everything i saw in that convo today im not even scratching the surface with this post. Anyways i guess it's cool that there is some justice happening right now and the people who survived him have been able to band together to try and ensure he can't hurt anyone else in the future. i rly wish none of us ever had to go thru any of that tho ugh i was so young i just really had no idea and it fucked me up for many many years afterwards. ive come a long way tho .

ill probly delete later cus idk who lurks this blog. i prefer not to show weakness :K But yeah.. just wanted to express this crazy unexpected life event and get it off my chest while its fresh

Peace and love !!!

What if I said Will was blurred out here because he was smiling and that's not what they wanted for the shot? If they focused on Will's face here, like they did with Robin, it would send the wrong message.

In a season so focused on how sad Mike and El being together makes Will, suddenly including a moment where he was happy about them wouldn't make sense. But, they couldn't make him look upset, like Robin did, because that would make it seem like he was upset they found El (which would be out of character and bad for audience perception, which has been important to his character since s1).

Basically, they wanted to do 3 things: convey Mike and El being together as something that hurts Will, parallel Rovickie/put Will between them like usual, and convey Will is still ecstatic to see El. So, to do those things, they blurred Will out completely while standing between Mike and El. After that, they had him come into focus in a seperate shot where it's very clear he's only happy about El and not about he reunion with her boyfriend/his "crush".

That's why Will wasn't in focus in that shot. They couldn't have conveyed everything correctly if he was. That blur is what makes it a direct parallel to the Rovickie scene.

And no, they didn't just want the focus to be on Mike and El's moment. If they really wanted that Will wouldn't have been in the shot at all. They put him there on purpose when they really didn't have to, and it would've made more sense for him not to be.

Will being in focus and smiling wouldn't have conveyed the right message. Will being in focus and sad wouldn't have conveyed the right message. Will not being there at all wouldn't have conveyed the right message.

Will being there and blurred out conveyed the message they intended.

watching the valeria interrogation again and when alejandro says, “you disgrace the army”, rudy steps forward but when alejandro looks over his shoulder at him and says, “and your brothers, no?” he steps back again, almost like he’s trying to pull himself out of the conversation

alejandro leans in close to her and rudy reacts like he wants to pull him away, to protect him from her and from her words, but when he brings up that valeria hurt him too, betrayed him too, rudy retreats like he doesn't want to be reminded of it

it's alejandro who keeps valeria talking about the past, who prompts her to say more when simply saying she's ex-military would've been enough. they bait each other, valeria far more successfully than alejandro; she’s essentially running the interrogation

this speaks volumes of rudy’s interjection of, “he (the son of la areña) was supposed to go to prison”. he’s getting short; cutting off valeria and her excuses, not to redirect them back to the point of the interrogation but bc he’s done with her. rudy’s terser with her, more obviously angry, than he is with an actual terrorist

alejandro can't get past their history; let's himself get pulled off track and compromised but not be he's more upset than rudy. rudy has just repressed the hell out of it; if he doesn't think about it then it didn't happen

but now, he's suddenly being confronted with it head on

"you disgrace the army," is generalised; valeria didn't just hurt rudy, she hurt all of them. it's easier to take

"and your brothers," calls rudy out directly for his pain; pain alejandro wants retribution for and he doesn't want to face it, doesn't want to admit to it bc he doesn’t want to have to feel it

Regarding your misogyny post, Asian women definitely have it better than Asian men. They have more options. In fact Asian women don’t even date us anymore, they just go after white men like the race traitors they are. Look up Oxford study

sorry, by the Oxford study do you mean: The New Suzie Wong: Normative Assumptions of White Male and Asian Female Relationships? an article which i know for a fact you have not read, and no one on tiktok has read, because i just had to lie to oxford and tell them im a phd student to even get access to it

but now that i’ve gotten away with my crime, let’s open this girl up oh what’s that right in the abstract?

television ads?? well as we all know tv is always completely true to life, so i’m sure if i read a little further it’ll tell me all about how asian women are all gold digging whores—oh wait oh no this study is actually a pretty nuanced and interesting discussion of the (racist) modern depiction and historical context of white-asian romantic relationships in media! this isn’t villainizing asian women at all! it’s a fucking academic paper! maybe you should actually read it!

anon i am about to be so straight with you right now, the reason you can’t get laid is that you’re obnoxious. people don’t want to fuck you because they don’t want to be around you. i think you know that.

get off the internet and go have some fucking character growth in the sunshine and maybe interrogate why you’re so eager to blame asian women for all the (real) evils asian men suffer under a white supremacist culture. is there a particular reason you want to blame them instead of the people (white men) who have the majority of institutional power? is there any reason that could be? could it be because they are easy and accessible targets who, due to their lack of institutional power, cannot fucking hit you back when you jab at them? it’s not their fucking fault you feel powerless, anon

anyway, interesting study, thanks for recommending it. coward

Holy fuck, man. What a trip Fearne has been on, huh?

You tell her how grateful you are to have her in your life, you flatter her, you tell her you need her, that you have to do this together. You have her make a promise that has this woman, born of chaos and fey, agreeing through shaking hands and a trembling voice.

You make her deceive your friends; you make her follow where they cannot know; you make her help you into this contraption; you make her feed this thing into you despite the fact that you both have been warned extensively of the risks. You make her watch you crumble and splinter and shatter and fracture and burst and implode. You make her watch you die, over and over and over and over, for a minute in agonizing bullet time.

You make her do all these things, because when she tries to back out, when she tries to not be the one who let you do this—how could you do this—

you tell her, "YOU PROMISED."

Because if there's one thing you know, it's that the fey do not break a promise.

The Hearthians make me so sick man they're just a bunch of little guys just starting out. They're carrying on the Nomai's spirit of discovery without even realizing it. They're just dipping their toes into a brand new frontier and they're so excited to explore the stars. All they want is to learn about the universe they live in, even if they don't know where they're going, even if they're scared. Man. How unlucky to be born at the end of the universe there was still more I wanted to do. Etc.

big day for my thoughts of things other than mike crew.

only listened to his statement 3 times today. as a treat i'm going to ramble on about his cadence; it's one of the reasons i've been able to listen to it *checks notes* at least 30 times in the last week.

it always catches me off-guard, because he makes pauses at places i don't expect him to. normally, when people speak, they pause at joining or connecting words, but mike constantly, throughout his statement, stops at odd places, like:

"exists in my mind... completely detached"

"dreamed that night of... shifting, branching"

they're not indicated in the transcript, because they're too short to really count, but it happens multiple times throughout his statement, like he's struggling for words, having difficulty either recalling or articulating what had happened. i adore either possibility, or both at the same time, because for the former you have his self-admitted "sometimes it's hard to keep track" & for the latter you have the obviously traumatic childhood and his "i'm not usually the sort for speeches".

i think when i first listened to his statement back in 2020, it kind of annoyed? me? because i was so used to mr. j. sims, oxford graduate, and his smooth posh voice, but now that my eyes have been opened it's just part of his charm.

it's got to be something about the dopamine expectation vs. actuality thing; if you know something too well it gets tiring, which is how i get sick of songs when i loop them. but even though i know basically every word of those 14 mins where mike crew speaks, i don't know the way he says it with 100% certainty, so each time i listen i'm treated to several surprises along the way and my brain loves it!!

(also tangentially related -- i always expect him to say 'decade' when he talks about the first 'real' storm in 10 years, because of course 10 years is a decade,, but maybe that's my literature-brain speaking? which is interesting because i'd thought with the amount of book-hunting mike's done he'd be more used to fancier terminology. or maybe he's just more utilitarian in his speech. or i'm just reading too much into a single word choice in a 1.5k+ word statement, which is far more likely)
