pinning someone down and they're struggling against you and then they hit you with the dom stare, and so you don't really want to let go but you're excited to see what will happen so you loosen your grip a little bit and they say "you're loosening your grip" and you say "yeah i wanted to see what would happen" and they hit you with the "don't let go" with the fucking dom death stare look in your eyes so you have no choice but to obey and then they spend the rest of the time criticising you and making you readjust your grip ughhhhh

Neil gaiman is a Zionist :(

this is so funny because if you google "neil gaiman zionist" nearly all of the links are to unsourced tumblr posts or responses to a single tweet from 2015 that just acknowledges Israel's existence

I see gaiman has once again committed the heinous crime of Being Jewish When Israel Is In The News

there’s this shot of cinta staring up at a star destroyer after everyone leaves aldhani thats lodged in my brain…..ive seen that ship at least a dozen times, its one of the handful i can actually name (i know very little about star wars canon!) & yet i think that’s by far the most gravity a shot of an empire ship has had for me. the construction of it is obviously a factor - cinta alone on the planet, a few seconds of this darkening shadow and her staring up at a thing we can’t see before we cut to it taking up most of the sky. it’s intimidating by nature! but what i remember sitting there thinking is like, fuck, that’s what a star destroyer does. its not just a cool piece of design work for the large-scale military battles characteristic of a beloved franchise, those are the enforcement tools of an impossibly large fascist state. they had designers & they have a staff & they have a daily function. their shadow is hanging over your every step. if memory serves i dont even think that shots part of a running episode plot. & that is soooooo characteristic of andor on the whole i think. peeling back the layers and asking what the iconography of star wars actually looks like on a practical level is far more effective at making its world alive and interesting than either leveraging a slew of preestablished characters or burning the sacred texts can be & i WISH franchise media cared enough about itself to do this more often

this has been a good year for new games for me, ironically bc i had a shit time with totk and was able to better recognize what i like. totk is a game i have not touched since beating it, while every other game i have played this year have be considerably better and just. idk good experiences

so some reflection on the games i played for the first time this year that i really liked!

i played fire emblem engage this year- i literally forgot that that happened this year, i've only been counting games since totk, and i've played some good fuckin games after totk, but i honestly had a good silly time with fe engage. the music is great, the story is a bit flat and hammy at times but was still engaging (hah) and i was pleasantly surprised by the development of the main character, and it was pretty hard even on an easy difficulty, which each map sometimes taking an hour to get through as the story progressed. plus i can't deny that the referneces to other fe games with the emblem rings was a cool selling point, i'm not too familiar with the other fe games and it was interesting to see some of the characters from them. loading into lucina's paralogue and instantly recognizing the map layout and music got to me pretty good as someone who was introduced into the series by awakening. it was great!

i played persona 5 royal after totk and. what a fucking palette cleanser it's one of the best games i have ever played and i've... somewhat liveblogged my first playthrough and snippets of my second, it's fantastic (not flawless tbf) and just a lot of fun. the music is great holy shit and it was also just a great story to experience, with some interesting messaging throughout with the confidant stuff and the things brought up by the third semester. i didn't even initally get persona 5 with the intention to play it myself, it was for my sibling, who played it once and put it down and hasn't touched it since while i picked it up on a whim and was hooked by the music and style and gameplay and... holy shit it's so good. i don't even mind okumura's palace too much.

i managed to get myself a copy of kid icarus uprising (and also got the guide book by accident, don't ask, it's helpful anyways), and... they sure did make a third person shooter on the 3ds and it sure does. Handle. in all honestly the controls are kind of a mess but the game feels really good to play when you get a handle on them, even if i keep accidentally sending pit falling to his death in the ground segments because just moving him is a bit rough. the game is also surprisingly hard, and i wouldn't just chalk it up to the controls, and the music (esp the tracks for the air segments and the way its timed to the game events... ugh) is fantastic, and what i've seen of the story and characters so far is charming! i have only gotten up to past chapter 9 out of... 30? because each chapter is fairly long and... those controls. it's great!

i also managed to get my hands on shin megami tensei iv! i first found it through the fantastic soundtrack, played the first through hours after it failing to boot a few times and getting fucking destroyed by the earliest enemies because holy shit this game will beat you into the ground if you try, and was like 'hm i wonder why they went with that specific sound for a lot of the ost' and then got to fucking tokyo and i. i do not know a lot abt smt iv's story and i'm grateful. getting to tokyo was a bit internal 'holy SHIT' moment and i am so desperate to figure out what the fuck is going on with this story and world it's really fascinating. i haven't progressed the story in a while even through i know where to go just because i'm trying to level flynn and my demons and do side quests because i am not going to underestimate any new encounter ever it's fantastic.

did i start playing clangen this year? i might have. it's good. it's fun. i've played it on voice call with my friend a few times. i'm currently hooked on starting with 1 apprentice and 1 kit like a lot of people are doing on here, building cool stories based on it. it's neat.

that's (probably) all of the new games i've played (and enjoyed) this year so far, but i found out that fallout: new vegas is ten fucking dollars on steam (20 with all of the dlc) and i might have to give that a shot after tracking down a bunch of mods to keep it from crashing, and just from what i've seen of people talking about it, it sounds like a game i really need to try either this year or sometime next year. i'm mostly still just floored that it's less than thirty dollars.

The universe tempted me and I was strong enough to resist!!!!

After seeing the Barbie movie we went shopping and the plus sized store that sells shoes my size had EMBROIDERED cowboy boots in black, light and dark brown, white and PASTEL PINK.

God I wanted them so bad but I didn't buy them.

the meta expositional musical theater song I should be listening to vs the one I am listening to

I have an audition for Urinetown at the end of the month and it’s my first audition since 2019* & im dry heaving brother, I love this stupid show and I’d start killing mfs to play Little Sally, so if I fuck this up…life-ending.

*(that I care about; I auditioned for sumn a few months ago with no intention of doing it bc my friend was like “my hubby is trying to get me to audition but I’ll only do it if you do it too”. white leveraging.)
