update on inquisition: solas broke up with my inquisitor, so she swore at him and then stomped off to lure and fight a high dragon while her companions complained the whole time

#me.txt #i play dai #i play games #it's so... idk. we barely DID anything #it felt like one kiss and then crestwood and then break up #yeah okay #but it is implied that they got into bed...#also so boring of dai to have the literal elven trickster god not be bisexual #if there were any god that SHOULD be bi it should be the elven trickster god. every part of that implies bi #anyway.#... i had an entire ramble about how the elves like abelas reacted weirdly to the elven inquisitor asking for their knowledge and help #because lots of people if they saw their civilization 'diminished' would want to reclaim glory days instead of just tossing them aside #and Sera is super weird. like as chinese diaspora we have lots of reasons to dislike mainland china but being 'too chinese' isn't one #but i actually had a talk with it with my friend and did some further thinking #and ... abelas (and solas) is just one of those boomers who call millennials snowflakes #and sera is one of those self-hating asians that'll post a self-hating rant on a city elf FB group and get told to get therapy #which makes is hilarious that these are the elves we see in inquisition #velanna and merill and zevran and fenris were so normal in comparison

Currently thinking about Artemis's will in the code at the bottom of TLG and how it really kinda shows how strained his relationship with his dad still is. Everyone else gets something they're interested in or that Arty thinks they'd like (sound system for Juliet, frozen chicken for Mulch, ethical investments for his mother, etc) and yet for his father he leaves only bearer bonds, despite Artemis I trying to move away from a money-focused enterprise and lifestyle as of TEC. Not to mention it's Butler who would know how to disengage all the booby traps protecting said bearer bonds, further highlighting the difference in trust & familiarity Artemis has with everyone but his father.

#artemis fowl #is this comprehensible? idk #i just think they're a fun relationship to explore #and like i get the reasons why the relationship between the two artemises isn't really elaborated on in canon #and why it exists as it does in the first place but still #your son - whom you had a very businesslike relationship with in his young childhood - talks about money when you are returned to him #after being missing for nearly two years. you tell him you failed and want to be a better father and money isn't all that is important.#a handful of years pass and your son goes missing (and is presumed dead just like you were) and yet returns just like you did #barely a year later though while grappling with his actual death and corpse you find out that no actually nothing had changed #and he still went to his grave with the only bridge between the two of you being money with no interest in other hobbies #what a thing for Tim to experience #from an overthinking and reading too much into things perspective that's heartbreaking #we never hear about Juliet's interest in sports cars or pop music yet that was included in artemis's will for her #compared to like beckett who we know likes bugs and slime and how artemis put that in his will for him #so when we get snippets of Tim's other interests (solar powered planes or his bio-hybrid prosthetic or running marathons or whatever)#and yet Arty didn't include anything about those interests in his will for his father is kinda like... huh.#you never really did change your perception of what would make your dad happy did you #and that would've destroyed Tim

ever think about the great sect madams of the generation before?

about madam yu, the violet spider, one of few in her generation to earn a title (even her husband was only ever sect leader. even wen ruohan was never regarded by a title other than sect leader wen). about yu ziyuan, about what she was like before years of jealousy and envy twisted her to only her most bitter parts? about the girl who was the third daughter of a sect leader, and then the wife of another, and yet all of her immense martial power meant nothing to the society around her.

about madam jin, known only by her title and never given a name or a natal sect, who was still somehow the closest friend to yu ziyuan. the mother of the sect heir and yet a wife who can do nothing but stand by as her husband dishonors their marriage over and over again.

about madam lan, the murderess locked up for her crimes, never seeing a trial and dying alone, only allowed to see her children once a month. who was she before she was the wife of the lan sect leader? was there a reason she killed the lan elder? did she want that marriage to qingheng-jun? did she even want the children she was kept from?

about the madams nie and wen, who only exist by implication, by the knowledge that their children exist and therefore so must they. about how so little is even implied about them?

#sharpie says shit #ma dao zu shi #mdzs #cql #madam yu #yu ziyuan #madam lan #madam jin #madam nie #madam wen #idk i just find the women of the generation before Very Interesting #mostly because we get barely anything about them compared to their husbands #madam lan is the exception but only kinda because there are still SO MANY QUESTIONS #this isn't madam yu apology btw i just think looking at her character is Neat #she is obviously a woman of great physical power #but due to the state of Being Female all of her social power is basically dependent on jfm #and i think years of being powerless while Wanting More takes their psychological toll #also how did she and madam jin even become friends? were they sisters? sect sisters? sworn sisters?#we're never told

maybe the real Viktor arcane season 2 character arc were the friends we made along the way

#I’m sorry but they relied way too heavily on off screen implications of things happening and telling instead of showing for his arc #we literally barely saw anything of what he had to go through to get to any of the places where he was in the season #idk maybe I need to rewatch to understand better but due to the rushed pacing and severe lack of screen time I feel he didn’t get enough #nuance and substantial characterisation that he truly deserved this season #like dude barely got to machine his herald before the writers decided it was time to wrap up and have a 2 min redemption arc😭#let that man be full of RAGE let him be FERAL let him have an UGLY GROTESQUE MAN MADE MACHINE TRANSFORMATION #GOD FORBID A MAN COMPREHENDS THE HORRORS HE’S WITNESSED!!#I love season 1 but season 2 #Rn it’s a 6.5/10 for me while s1 was a 9 or 10/10 #maybe I need to rewatch to see if any of the other characters got it better than he did I mean I LOVED ekko jayce and jinx this season #but Viktor Mel and sky #they got fumbled so hard they deserved so much better imo sorry #yapping #arcane #arcane spoilers #arcane critical #Might delete later idk this rant feels deeply unserious and I’m also sleep deprived so maybe my takes aren’t the best #Living up to my name as the world’s first elderly teenage girl bc I need a grandpa level nap GOD #my post

genuinely one of the most boring, lazy, unsatisfying bits of worldbuilding in TVC (and i'm glad they're ditching in the show) is the idea that vampires just don't like being around one another. how is that narratively satisfying in any way? what does that accomplish? in all other ways, vampires are written as more or less thinking and feeling as humans do. excusing away 'oh idk they broke up' or 'oh they all just wandered off from the night island' by saving vampires just kinda don't like being around one another falls so FLAT.

#rose reads tvc #this last third of tva feels so rushed and sloppy and dull tbh. why did we spend a million chapters with marius and like one chapter on CoD #barely anything about tvl or iwtv from armand's pov which could've been so fascinating.#anne rice said she changed her mind about him as a character since those books. use this as a chance to reconcile it???#what did he think about all the nicki stuff? what about tossing lestat off the tower?#his POV on akasha and everything from qotd? hell if we're gonna make this book all about him and marius what about like.#show us his thoughts when he found our marius wasn't dead?#idk i'm struggling so much with words today but i'm feeling dissatisfied. :/

season three of the way home and I'm back on my nonsense

#let's see how long it'll last what with spring semester starting this week #on one hand I get that del would know her son. she'd know it was him. but on the other I feel like it's been so long #that she'd be suspicious if it were really him idk it all felt too quick?#like okay del knows now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#I feel like the problem is that the conversation happened off screen so we don't see much of a reaction #but even after that del doesn't seem to think much of it #I feel very thrown back into the series it's been so long #really should've rewatched the other seasons I barely remember anything rip #the way home hallmark #earl crow ramblings #also realizing that I might have entirely missed some of the end of season two how did that happen I don't know #girl help why was my first thought upon seeing jacob without his beard is that they should put some eyeliner on him and he'll look like #he's in some emo band from the 2000s or smth #I think they chose such a good actor for him #del handing jacob his bear and saying he's been waiting for you OH MY WORD I'll cry #EW I forgot about sam get him OUT #WHAT have they done to alice oh my word what's going on #what's with susanna??#oh they combed jacob's hair he looks normal again though tbh I like how it was before #good episode!! pacing felt off imo but okay it's the first episode of a new season

it’s like none of you know what dramatic irony is

#the outties and innies barely know anything about each other or their worlds so all of them are making decisions based on the info they have #diary #idk some of the takes im seeing are so weird did we forget about lumon the evil corp responsible for all of this….. anyways #tv #severance

Am I the only person who has never decorated any space they’ve ever lived in in the almost 24 years they’ve been on this Earth?

#like idk I might’ve been banned from decorating my room #or id just get shut down by my parents #and when I asked if we could buy decor I got called ungrateful #I was afraid of doing it wrong in boarding school so I had nothing #and I barely did anything in college #like how do you know how to decorate #not to be dramatic but I feel like I’m missing a key part of existence #uchiha-gaeshi overshares #txt

oh yeah i watched the new ii and it was pretty wack. my only two thoughts are

i love cabby

they had to neutralize clover?????? hello?????????

#melonposting #ii spoilers #clover continues to be one of the only good people here. like hello thank you for saying that cabby didn't do anything wrong #(though at this point ae's probably just kinda backpedalling after the ableism allegations so. yeah. anyway it's really the bare minimum)#also it made me so angry to see nickel again. nooooo we just got rid of him!!!!!!!!!! boo tomato tomato tomato #i did find it funny that they were gonna have the dumb fantube-bot family thing and then blueberry interrupted it. ha ha ha. ha #yeah about the other thing. now i'm worried that any victory cabby gets out of this will only be a result of ae backpedalling #it's already pretty weird that the show's general perception of cabby did a complete 180 out of nowhere #i dunno. everyone ganging up on mephone was kinda strange #like okay springy and walkie talkie have their beef with him. but the cameras? zoetrope??#forgive me if i'm being dumb but i can't remember anything so horrible mephone did to them to warrant (gesturing vaguely) all of this #i dunno it's just kind of silly to have the big-bad be 'all of these random guys mephone kinda annoyed'#like huh. huh?#idk i'll see where they'll go with this. hopefully cabby doesn't get screwed over <3 that's really all i'm hoping for haha

Going to bed but given what I’ve seen today, I’m so glad @abruisedmuse and I stopped hosting fandom events in 2021 lol. There’s always something.

NO YOU’RE SO RIGHT ABOUT THE MAJIMA STUFF THOUGH. GOD. God forbid you speak poorly about the fandom silly guy etc etc. I rt’d one post about someone being annoyed abt majima getting an insane amount of merch (especially compared to other characters- even other PLAYABLE characters) and suddenly my TL is filled with ppl taking it as a personal attack….. like?? Settle down???

My one fear is that instead of Mine content we’re just gonna get Majima Saga 2 for yk3 and rgg will call it a day. WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY ABOUT THE GUY !!! GENUINELY!!!

at this rate we’re going to have a complete record of Majima’s life from birth until modern day bc you knowww they’re never gonna let the cash cow die or retire. + god I lowkey need the 3jimas to break up Now so saejima and daigo can stand on their own again (w/out being overshadowed by Majima)…. Saejima especially… I miss the days when he felt like a character………

(I may have a lot to say on the topic) (he’s a fun character but at this rate I’m getting so sick of the fandom around him)

gen is kinda funny how when there's the Monthly Critique Of Majima post on twitter the rggtwt part of the tl is flooded with majima fans being upset. its like clockwork really LOL

as for saejima, i do miss him being solo... like he's funny with majima at times, but as wack as Y4 was i still really liked his coliseum scene, and his prison adventures in Y5 were a real treat too..

#snap chats #like you say one mild comment about majima in passing and then you have mates acting as if you burned their crops #like .. its never this serious .. also i think people have the right to be a littttttle miffed that other charas barely get anything #its starting to change with the plushies and saejima/akiyama figures so thats great but. still a way to go LOL #its just esp Lol inducing because kiryu and ichi are protagonists so it makes sense for them to get stuff #but majima is quite literally a side character that wasnt meant to have this much popularity #the concept of a chara becoming popular by accident isnt bad thats not the thing- its even cool when that happens #its just sometimes you just see people act really entitled to stuff for that character while every other chara is ignored #and then the same people acting surprised when others go 'actually ive had a bit enough of this guy'#honestly if they did another majima segment for a hypothetical yk3 id laugh. like id be a bit annoyed but id mostly laugh #cause truly what else is there. he's like a comic book character we just gotta keep making situations for him til hes 90 #idk. just so funny majima's been given a sort of 'weird' protagonist status #and i say weird because he IS a protagonist but just compared to how he actually functions throughout y1-y6. lol. lmao even #like youre right in that majima's a fun character but he really is better in just small doses imo #or. at least i need people to relax on the idea of a 'majima gaiden' or making him any more prominent in the games than he is now #anyway i cant be bitter posting my dad is being funny as hell. he got us bracelets and he was like #'in our family you and i are the only ones who like these. makes us cool' and i was like 'yeah dad we're so cool'#and this old man is just 'we're so cool ☺️' LIKE PL E A S E THE EMOJI TOOK ME OUT. i love my dad. all bitterness is gone from my heart #anyways bye if rgg gives majima a saga in yk3 im gonna livestream playing that and only that #not even yk3 just the majima part 😭😭😭😭

going through and cleaning out my spacehey a little bit and i forgot about diary entries i made like 2 years ago about how hopeless and upset i felt about my last relationship's struggles and described my ex's issues and behavior as "catastrophic and neverending"... yeah sounds about right
