thougets on bad batch finale? i am upset that dathan didnt appered in cameo

I'm actually glad there were no cameos. The finale was all about the Bad Batch and wrapping up their story and wasn't overshadowed by anything else like some other shows.

I really enjoyed the finale! I thought it was a great send off for these characters. Freeing the kids from Tantiss and the Zillo Beast attack was thrilling. The stand off with Hemlock was intense. Nala Se's sacrifice. And it definitely put to rest anyone thinking Omega is connected to Palpatine/Snoke/Rey or whoever else, haha.

And they all got a happy ending!! I was so worried someone was going to die. Crosshair was my main concern as redemption usually ends in death in SW but I am so glad he got to live! They all got to live long and happy lives on Pabu!

The flash forward with older Omega and Hunter was everything. I couldn't stop crying. She's going off to fight in the rebellion which is just the perfect culmination of her journey 🥹

It's been a great ride over these 3 seasons and I'm happy with the ending.

Got tired of playing around with the elf boy in the character creator (I think I'll go with wine red hair) and hopped over to benchmark to test what I could do with N'jinh. And I think it turned out pretty nice. Def some changes (it's a completely different base), but I feel like he doesn't look like, too unfamiliar to me. Like I can still recognize that yeah, it's my smug boy, just with a new coat of paint on top and a few structural fixes.

^ Here's how he used to look. I made his blue eye a bit lighter shade, changed the red around eyes to more pink shade, and ofc switched the base. He actually has pvp hair right now, and I thiiiink I'm gonna go stick with that, but he looks good with his old hair too. Only complaint I have is that I reaaaally wanted him to have a scar in different place :/ Don't need the lip scar anymore with his lore changes, but would've loved if face 1 had some scar that runs across the bridge of his nose. He would've absolutely rocked that.

Also hair is different shade. I like the warmer shade old hair has, buuuuut it has the unfortunate effect of looking like this if there's any sun to be found:

So uh, I have to make a choice if I want to go with new hair or get flashbanged every time I try to gpose him outside like I do now.

home school is frustrating to watch not because the show is bad (i love the show i have so many thoughts) but because despite the wildly different reasons (and stakes and intensity), seeing the education institution systems making students do things without any explanation or logic or reason just because they can and being absolutely unreasonable is very real of them.

Listening to Nick Crowley is weird because I always get invested by the storytelling, but I always get so worried about the stories told, that I tend to just look up how the story ends. It's basically hearing the tension in the first minute or two and just going, "Alright, how bad is this one just so I don't have a heart attack."

And in all honesty, I'm so much more shocked on the occasion that they have a happy ending.

jeff davis has been desperately trying to kill derek hale since the first season so i’m disappointed and irritated but not necessarily surprised that he finally followed through on that one. i am kinda surprised that he accidentally gave derek and stiles an inexplicable child though. that was a plot twist i did not see coming.

edit: i ended up just ranting abt like the current vibe™ in the tags... sorry abt that but like also whatever i don't care anymore

Most of my FFXIV career looking back on it, was colored by a lot of depression and negativity, which changed my relationship with the game to something incredibly strange when I originally went in expecting the experience that most fortunately do get to live out (good newbie interactions, kind mentors, a lot of socializing, enjoyment of the story, get to play with friends and feel attached to their wol, strong sense of community) so it was a bit illusion-breaking when the exact opposite occurred. I still kept playing, hoping each time it'd get better and become what others had said of it for myself.

Ultimately, this only resulted in me becoming burnt out and experiencing the nadir of what nearly made me quit the game, which was probably the worst interaction I've ever had the displeasure of happening online and inside FFXIV nonetheless, a game famed for the "best" community. This and countless other similar interactions were the final straw, and I found myself dismayed and a bit heartbroken that a game I loved this much was becoming something I regretted this fast.

My WoL wasn't something special, either. I didn't like taking pictures as much as the average GPoser and felt I was destined to lose that game of popularity and attractiveness, I don't have as much creativity towards the story to inhabit it as much as other FFXIV writers/rpers and couldn't think of any ships I was into, and worst of all, I no longer wanted to practice becoming top tier at the gameplay-- the only part I felt was left for me in FFXIV. Playing felt like being judged for my skills by everyone, and making any mistakes after disastrous savage raids became exacerbated with my social anxiety. It became thoroughly unplayable not to mention unenjoyable. Attempts at breaks did not fix this, and neither did forcing myself into the fanbase.

It's only recently- literally now that I feel like my love for the game has returned or started to heal. The main reason, besides giving up caring about being "good" at the game and pacing myself, is getting to accept what the game will never be for me while learning to enjoy the incredibly mundane parts of it instead outside of all the main reasons one usually would get obsessed with FFXIV. The love others have for it helped quite a bit as well. That's reflected in my WoL as well- accepting the journey despite how awful it was and looking back on it with a fondness while retiring to a life of small joys.

I think FFXIV will never not be colored by the loneliness it unintentionally gave me, and the strange feeling where I wish it could've been an adventure like it was for others. But it was worth it, and I'll keep enjoying how it does make me happy and maybe someday it will.

I signed up for this Winnie the Pooh tarot Kickstarter and I've changed my order at least three times in less than twenty-four hours.

it just occurred to me to wonder... how much of how shitty i've felt this past week and a half is being compounded by having to fuck with my adderall dosing to tide me until i can see my doctor and get a refill.

i've been staggering taking a leftover xr one day, skipping a day, then taking a higher dose of the ir, and so on. it's enough that i'm not crashing but... my dopamine is probably all over the place right now. and i gotta say. talking shit to myself feels almost rewarding.

Also with Anna the way she talked down on and tried to distance herself from twilight in a weird way. Not like an rpattz I always hated it but I got paid!! Or Kristen I appreciated it but I’ve moved on vibe. It’s like girl.. you were not even a big part of it and you not even a huge star chilll babe.

i mean the whole twilight cast got bullied SO MUCH over the years that i can't blame them for trying to distance themselves

like it's taken a good decade for rob and kristen to get away from these roles and even now, they're still very much attached to the franchise. i was asking some people if they watched the batman and a dude was like: no i'm not watching the guy from twilight. okay??????? it's been more than 10 years, move on..................

twilight has just recently entered the camp/funny hall of fame so people have calmed down but goog god, the whole cast has had it rough over the years. i don't think any of them except from rob and kristen got a great career after that

actually the fact that i don't know how to loop videos is such an asset because there is one clip of a screen recording that if I could just put on loop and listen to while actually using my phone, I would never stop listening to it
