a lot of ppl are telling me “but its in character that TBK would kill TRG, what else could they have done” and i need to stress that my issue is not about characterisation or in-universe justification. it's simply that this kind of writing is not narratively interesting to me! i want a plot that furthers the development of the main characters and challenges them! i want thematic engagement!
they've done it before like the bad kids faced their worst fears in fhsy and changed for the better!! in a season where rage/war is the enemy, it makes thematic sense for the solution to NOT be pure combat, IN SPITE of all the circumstances that demand it. and i didnt even really need THAT like i didn’t need TRG to be fully redeemed i just needed the barest engagement with them as character foils and the themes they present

Honestly I wonder where the Freddy's need to not let any single fucking employee ever leave even comes from. I mean with the Phoneys I understand it they're making those guys to work (although a lot of the time they're barely doing their job at all like I'm juuust saying Bono was kinda slacking as a boss) but fuck are you gonna gain for tying an employee to the brand eternally? Is it a matter of "you're going down with the ship" because if they're complicit in the crimes they can't call them out? Is it just overall hate towards any living form? Like when they're evidently throwing up searches to find rogue employees it's like. Call me crazy but I feel this is a bigger lost of revenue than it is a gain. But I guess when you see them as objects instead of people this behavior is only natural because if my bridge just up and left I'd be like no sir I'm getting that cunt back.

gus' first brawl in nv has him at first show up in disguise and is against a pyrus brawler, where he declares that friendship means nothing, only power matters.
gus' last brawl in nv has him at first show up in disguise again and is against a pyrus brawler again, except this time he says that the friendship and loyalty he has is the most important thing, rather than power.

hey!! i just wanted to say i really admire your blog! you're always very well-spoken and articulate and you have good takes on topics. i wish i was as comfortable as you are talking about things at length so i could talk in detail on my own blog about the things i'm interested in, but alas, i am not. for now i will read your posts and admire from a distance <3 thank you for your contributions to the community
also kudos to you for putting walls of tags on your reblogged posts. i love to see people's thoughts, especially on posts that are more substantial than the average shitpost because it feels more personal (': pls never stop
🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 wait this is SO sweet, thank you so much! :D I'm really flattered I come off as well spoken and articulate, I feel like I am constantly just Saying Lots Of Words. I'm not sure I can turn off the verbose-ness, tbh, so I'm really glad it's improving your fandom experience in some way haha.
And hey fwiw, tumblr blogs are for you to have fun, so if you want to go ham chatting about things you enjoy, you know, go for it! And if you don't think that would be enjoyable, I mean, you're not under any rule to do so. I'm pretty shameless about doing it largely because I made this sideblog specifically for myself, just to store/post about Smosh stuff so I'd be able to find it more easily in the future. Being very detailed about stuff I'm enjoying is a gift for future me, and everything else needs to be a bonus, or something I can live with 😅 So that takes a lot of the pressure off, if that explains anything haha. IMO, if energy/time permits, recording details about and diving into the details of things you enjoy and why you enjoy them, tends to be a net positive. Both for the world as a whole (Other people who enjoy that thing get to share enjoyment) and for yourself, to really get a better understanding and appreciation of things you enjoy. And this might also increase appreciation of things you dont enjoy, interestingly enough! Win win. But to each their own, and not wanting to do that in public forum makes perfect sense. Do what works for you :)
I will probably NEVER stop doing the walls of text in tags, so im glad you enjoy it 😅 It's one of my favorite features of tumblr, I love being able to share thoughts in a form where the op/other people dont feel obligated to respond. Triply so for things like art and fic where I'll really enjoy something and it seems like a shame to not express that enjoyment with the maker. Tumblr does all kinds of wack things but the 'talking in tags' culture is a net positive in my book.
anyway. thanks! :D this was really nice to receive.
