#so toned down? idk man
Text
I’m really not vibing with the theme music and the more I think about it the more I think it’s for the same reasons people are having issues with the pacing.
The books are adventures - it’s kids being sent off on their own to complete quests and fight monsters and save their friends. They’re fun and upbeat and scary and exciting.
The theme music is whimsical and magical and completely opposite to the sense of adventure of the original stories, and I think that’s lost in the show as well. The complete lack of urgency and weird pacing makes the stakes seem really low and the encounters with monsters are over so quickly or interrupted by something that brings the tension of the scene crashing down.
#like this week with Grover chasing Augustus that felt urgent that felt necessary and like there were stakes for him to catch up to him. why#don’t we have the same level of intensity in any other encounter in this show?#okay I take it back I remember capture the flag and that had all the things I want in the other fights in this show! it had drama it had#stakes it had excitement and that was all within the boundaries of camp while they were still safe and as soon as they left things just seem#so toned down? idk man#and now that the deadlines passed there’s going to be even less urgency. like we’ve only got Percy’s will driving the quest now and I don’t#think that’s going to make them go any quicker seeing as a deadline before a war kicked off didn’t so idk. I don’t know what to expect from#the last two episodes but I don’t have high hopes …#idk I want to love it I really do but there’s just too many choices the show runners and writers and whoever else made that I can’t get behi#behind#percy jackson#pjo#percy jackon and the olympians

the writers on here making the miguel fics need to remember his fangs inject paralytic venom hes not a real vampire it was just a joke in the movie 😭
oh but i still want him to bite me don’t get me wrong idgaf if they have venom 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
#the copious amounts of smut i’ve seen with this man and the fangs is crazy#y’all need to tone it DOWN wheres the fluff omg??#there’s like so many smut x reader fics clogging the miguel o’hara tag and people can express their creative liberties or whatever but it’s#getting CRAZY#like why is almost nobody talking about his character and writing an analysis on him#AND WHY ARE SO MANY FICS WRITING HIM TO BE SOME FERAL AND MEAN BEAST#firstly it’s feels racist to write a brown latino man that way.#second it feels fetishiz-y with how people only sexualize the fuck outta him and talk about nothing else when it comes to him#to add onto that people are drawing him with a MUZZLE on#at first all this didn’t really register in my head as bad but after seeing so much i see it 😭#also some spanish speakers have said people are using incorrect spanish when writing dialogue for him and thats kinda funny#don’t use google translate please 💀#miguel o’ hara#spiderman 2099#across the spiderverse#i also saw someone say miguel would not be a good partner or something and i just know you didn’t pay attention#and i wont go into why because its spoilers but we have seen him be soft and happy with someone he cares about it’s just trauma that has#made him mean and depressed#he was obviously projecting onto miles in the movie when he acted like that let’s be fr#why am i writing a novel down here idk i just wanted to talk about it a little#i love the smut (trust me) but pleaaseee don’t start being fetishize-y

the scene in yakuza 5 where shinada and milky dance on the roof talking about how they should run away and start over in a new town with new jobs and new lives, only for milky to abruptly stop and let shinada go when she gets called back downstairs to work, while shinada is sent stumbling by suddenly being let go until he too comes to a stop, burns a hole in my brain
#rambles#yakuza#yakuza liveblogging#like man. MAN. that shit hits home#milky saying 'i wanna be a teacher this time- that was my dream as a kid!'#and shinada replying 'you can! nothings stopping you! you can start over!' with a tone that borders on hysterical#he's so desperate to believe it's possible because in that moment he can see it- he sees his way out#for a moment he's blind to all the things that have kept him from doing exactly what he's proposing every other time he's considered it#hes trapped in a glass house- he can see freedom but knows he cant reach it. but for a moment he lets himself forget the glass is there#but milky doesnt. she thinks hes being cute and plays along but as soon as she lets him go the music cuts and the moment is gone.#reality comes crashing back down- they're not going anywhere.#and i mean. idk if this is a common/universal experience but ive had many a late night where ive done exactly the same thing#fantasized about quitting my job/going back to school/finding some means of self employment/moving somewhere totally new#and ive had those fleeting moments where i could see it- i could see how i could make it work#or i could see that there's nothing *physically* stopping me from doing any of those things#and if i could just sum up enough courage i could do anything i wanted with my life#but then i wake up the next day and that vision is gone.#i cant see outside the glass house anymore- i can only see the reflection of the inside.#tl;dr i should revisit y5- the writers were cooking and i didnt take enough time to savor it#(esp not the shinada section bc i hated his combat style lol)

points to the suicidal ideation and will ask if anyone wants to eat that and NOT wait for an answer
#im fine im just tired of stepping out my body and also at the same time#RUINING MY OWN FUN by suddenly becoming so self aware it gets debilitating#can someone tell this bitch to tone down the paranoia#anyway they're talking about me i kno they are <- is not toning down said paranoia#idk man. i think sth got broke and i just need maybe like. a few days to fix it.#vent#suicidal ideation tw#man who the fuck thinks ''this would all be the same or better if i werent here'' CAN I PLEASE JUST GET A BREAK.#i know they're talking about me i know yhey are bc if they have the capability to talk about him and each other like that i know they can#about me and the minute i step out i know i know i know i know#someone drill a hole in my head is that it is that will make me normal. can i be normal.

ranting about niche things in my own tags so i can come back to them at a later point and see if my opinions have changed (i was in a crowded area for longer than i wanted to today and need to get over my hater energy)
#the vball world anouncers in rio rn are pissing me off so bad.#like my girl emily usually doesnt annoy me but her points are being brought down by the absolute negativity of the other two...#like im not saying every anouncer gotta be like my man clayton cause im sure thats not everyones style but when hes not describing whats#happening the things hes adding are fun/mood lifting#like its such a chore to get through these anouncers negative ass commentary like every single play is a mistake#(unless it comes from their blorbos on the us team)#and instead of just telling us or framing it in an informative way they just have to use boring and overly negative tone.#its especially terrible since the 3 in antalya rn all have such better energy so like the contrast is brutal#hat off to clayton hes my fav but what i like about the 3 in antalya rn is that 1. they have a bit of whimsy in their soul 2. they sound#like theyre having a good time and enjoy the game 3. they will say a play that didnt go to plan without being an absolute fucking downer#about it.#like i fr have to mute games sometimes ...#idk clayton is blorbo from my anouncement panel like when he gets so excited i as a listener get so excited when hes scereaming cause the#rally is so intense im screaming when he is in tears over carolanne kiss at 22 world champs im also in tears like come on#also will never forgive /that one/ for the way they speak about the asian teams/brasil cause dont be a commentator for international events#if youre gonna be weird about it.....#not to sound like i hate all these anouncers cause i dont. as i said the three in antalya are absolutely on it but it sucks that have the#tournament is lowkey ruined for me....#thats dramatic but its just not as fun#like when brasil would score and we'd still be getting a run down of jordan larsons biography... like shes a good player but lets give the#teams equal energy here#sigh

Not me over here writing a story about Peet that is going to end up being split into two smaller stories because it just got so long and spiraled so far out of my control-
#writing#writers#fanfic#the wingfeather saga#peet the sockman#*pats Peet on the head gently* this boi can fit so much angst in him#I mean if I even post the whole thing I'm debating because so far my fanfics have been well received#but the encouragement is making me go deeper into my headcanons and I worry people won't like it#even though they seem to have so far???#Idk man I wish my brain made sense#I get so excited about things I worry about getting TOO excited and people being like#'woah there. that is too much#ma'am you need to tone it down.'#even tho this is fanfic I'm not even making anyone pay if they want to read it#people are choosing to look at my strange little stories with their own eyes and enjoy them#I don't want to disappoint them#that's really what it comes down to#ANYWAY#writer problems

I redesigned Stalyan to fit better with the costume aesthetics of the show, and also gave her something of a personality redesign as well! I think it would be interesting if she was more of a swindler, pretending to be innocent and helpless before stabbing you in the back. also imagine how ominous it would be if her first appearance was actually all in white like a bride like girl has been obsessed w this marriage for years
#tangled#tangled the series#rapunzels tangled adventure#stalyan#tts#tts stalyan#kept all of her facial features and hair color the same bc that part was fine it was just her outfit that didn't quite match the vibe#tho i did tone down her eyeshadow and lipstick a little bc i made her palette more blue#idk her outfit was just reading a little too modern to me? like everyone else has skirts that reach at least their mid calf#also i think this makes her dynamic w eugene more interesting#bc i hc that he used to have a thing for damsels in distress#maybe thats the wrong way to put it. i just mean people that genuinely seem to need help (and are probably easily impressed)#bc he's a good guy but he's also a charmer and a conman#and its very important to me that both she and eugene tried to con each other when they first met and got to know each other#but eugene got the drop on her and got away w whatever prize he was after before she could#and so she never got to complete the sham marriage that was HER con. and that's why she's so obsessed w him#art#my art#weaverofink#man the tags got away from me. but hey the art turned out pretty good#the show has a really fun style to emulate!

something incredibly off-putting and uncanny about the danganronpa art style especially when it comes to how they draw women. it has the vibes of a horror gorefest manga that was clearly drawn through a porn lens
#danganronpa#my thoughts#thh is okay but sdr2 is really awful#i think bc for thh the horniness is toned down and the horrificness and reality of it is really helped by the exaggerated character sprites#sdr2 though. sorry. sdr2 i did enjoy you. you are a lot of fun and had good story moments. but good lord...#i need to kill teruteru with a baseball bat and then give akane a tracksuit#they all look...like theyre made of dough....#especially when it comes to limbs? they're so...idk how to put it. oddly elongated and also shaded weirdly. and jointed so stiffly too???#this might be just me. no hate to the og artists etc etc but man some things are hard to look at

sorry i can't take this chapter seriously the flying head took me out whekshej
#yuutas domain name also#i know it fits his character but omg let's tone it down on cliché and predictability a little please 😂#i didn't wake up at 5 am for this#i mean i was right about kenny's will but whatever it kinda fell flat#the thing about this being a jjk 0 inverse was right with yuuta defeating kenny and the cursed spirits attack which makes me think about my#rika theory may also be on the right track#but also we just know that having an exposed plan means it won't go this way#this is like who's more op yuuta or sukuna and it's boring and they both need a power down which i really think will come#and seeing sukuna look down on yuuji still only mentioning the soul punch not having the blood manipulation mentioned even though it was#hinted to be yuuji's... he's definitely gonna have a bigger role than just the last punch he has to#there's also the whole megumi thing#sukuna doesn't know yuuta and yuuji's goal was to save megumi to which yuuji conjured a plan#what was defined as yuuta and yuuji's plan doesn't means it is in fact their plan (or just their plan)#the two mcs against sukuna and power of love being the theme makes sense thematically but on god this was lame#anyways hoping for sukuna to take rika 🤞 rika having a second death/dispersal would also be very jjk 0 it just makes sense idk how#but make it happen or i will bite someone 😂#also i didn't comment but geto's body releasing the spirits makes no sense to me unless kenny wanted to emulate geto's attack to the school#and collected spirits for this purpose only but when did he even do that man#again... the stupid head flying was so fucking dumb idk what i imagined but it wasn't that#whatever gege i am gonna wait for next week and hope something interesting actually happens bye#sorry for being a hater but this chapter felt like a bunch of nothing thrown at our face even though the fight wouldn't really have#results in one chapter being who they are it still felt disappointing that just nothing interesting happened after such a long break too#and again.... WHERE THE HELL IS MAKI#there's also that part!!!! neither us or sukuna know what she's up to#maki save us save us maki#jjk leaks#still thinking about kenny's head she was an airplane...... 😂 what kind of cartoon reality was that#absurdism and surrealism in jjk as a theme but also what if something is just incredibly stupid 😭

ok sooooo ermmmmm twirls hair anyways last thought: i am happy 4 ppl that enjoy medics squeaky high pitched voice etc etc but i need a regular deeper voice medic. like medic that would constantly speak in a similar tone like when he told heavy 2 keep his ribcage open so he could shove his new baboon heart in meet the medic. or like his 1st the original voicelines 4 the game b4 the updates w the additional voicelines. i fully think when he is like relaxed + talking in german then his voice is like twice maybe even thrice as deeper or whatever. sounding like a real dad.
#i feel like the reason his voice is so high pitched bcuz he is just that excited?&idfk other reason#but listening 2 his voicelines man his voice is fucking annoying.esp downes these days when he voiced medic#like this guys only voice trait is that it is high pitched.wtf happened 2 the similar voice tone in 2007 w rhe original voicelines#like then yeah it was a bit higher but @ least it sounded somewhat normal.professional? serious??idk abt the last 2 but not like this mess#these days#like can this guy talk in a normal voice without voice cracks 4 0.3 secs???god (directed @ medic not the VA. thank u 4 everything u have don#e downes.we owe u everything)#again happy 4 the ppl who enjoy this but i literally grind my fucking teeth listening 2 new material#tee eff too fans this is a guy on the internets 1brain personal opinion do not get ur feelings hurt challenge</3

Wow, what the actual hell.
Just watched my (white passing asf, dirty blonde, blue eyed) younger brother go from hating it when kids at school would call him Mexican because he’s half Guatemalan -> to enjoying the “is it because I’m *insert non-white race*?” jokes that his cousins and friends would say -> to jokingly calling his friends racist about little things and enjoying (and repeating) jokes his jewish friend would say about gas chambers and constantly cracking 9/11 jokes because his friends have been doing it -> to making edgy jokes about 9/11 and race and nazis and jewish people being inferior and watching lowkey questionable joke clips from South Park and SNL -> FUCKING DOING THE NAZI SALUTE AND LAUGHING ??? I hate it here man. If it was a one-off, okay whatever but it was very much not, and it was paired with multiple other nazi jokes after
I had a terrible feeling he was sliding down the alt right pipeline via edgy comedy, and ngl some of the south park clips seriously had me thinking I should keep an eye on that and intervene if it starts getting worse, but my god did it escalate fast. I don’t think he genuinely hates anyone yet or actually believes any of that shit and the whole thing is that he thinks it’s all a big funny joke, but it still just concerns the fuck out of me.
I literally started making half jokes that I’m worried about my status/safety in the house because he’s literally making nazi salutes (I’m visibly half black) to try to give some perspective and maybe bring him back to earth a bit but I can already tell I’m gonna need to be more direct very soon.
#ask to tag#he’s almost 14 and hes trans so he’s trying to fit in with The Boys™️ and trying to seem as straight and cis as possible which like…#I think we all know where that can lead and how it can be toxic and painful and shit. and ofc that kids that age tend to have an edgy phase-#but DAMN#what the actual fuck seriously#I seriously hope he tones it down at school and with friends like it would be extremely uncomfortable to be around that as a minority#unless they also viewed it as a joke??#and I’d imagine cuz hes trans it probably opens up a world of transphobic jokes as well which will probably worsen the internallized—#transphobia :/ like he showed me a fuckin dave chappelle clip of a joke about him not believing a masc lesbian when she said she was a woman#I get its comedy or whatever but man. idk dude I worry that it will effect his view of things a lot#hes a good kid and (usually 💀) empathetic so I dont think he’d wish harm on anyone but ig thats how it goes. always without bad intention#tw racism#tw antisemitism#tw vent#/antisemitism#/racism#/vent#me talking#gave him my tumblr by accident. hopefully this post doesn’t backfire on me. i dont think he uses tumblr much tho

Nta as well. Its really fucked up to see ones best friend and boyfriend act like that :/
I think they're quite innocent in terms of what can be perceived from their actions like these. I think they don't have any intention with each other and i have mentioned to him twice about how it made me uncomfortable and about my own insecurities and he's always understood and apologized and even reassured me when we're all together and he's talking to other people like grabbing my hand and stuff but she's kind of always said she's done nothing wrong and brushing off my feelings due to her own problems and like idk man everyone has problems and you might not have that intention but i cannot help but feel uncomfortable because it looks that way
#idk man i think if it were the other way around she would feel exactly the same#and i would understand even if i did have no intentions and got along well with her bf i would tone it down#i think it's just normal when someone is dating to not do certain kinds of jokes with your close friends#and like this may be sexist but man/woman friendships will always be a little perceived that way with certain jokes#so that's all i just want them to tone it down and not put me aside

tag rant but man i fuckin hate the new direction for loz
#its like. this is more on like. why is it bad that theres a zelda formula. why is it bad that all of the games follow this formula#that’s their identity??? like pokemon games and fire emblem games all have their own formulas so to say#and so thats their identity thats what you expect going in thats their niche their gameplay experience identity#and i just. really fucking hate how loz seems to be going the route of just. throwing shit at the wall and trying everything else#and nothing sticks so the more recent ones just feel like open world slop that dont excel at anything#so fuck this im going to play elden ring with a double jumping horse and great and challenging combat. i’ll play minecraft#yknow? and i dont understand why loz games feeling ‘similar’ is so fucking bad like???? every game series’ entries feel similar thats the#point yknow. if they suddenly made a fire emblem that was an fps for no reason other than to break convention and break away feom the#formula then what the fuck thats not even fire emblem any more. like. idk. i kinda just despise the newer stuff bc its so. middle of the#road whatever and has just about nothing i actually like and look for in the series. they dont have that niche identity any more#its a shift that just makes them like part of the open world white noise every aspect is honed down and done better in other games#its not like the formula causes every loz game to be really predictable or blend together fuck no#theyre still each very unique from each other even if they follow the same guidelines thats the fun???#like woah i wonder how the dungeons will differ what the new story and characters will be what new items#fucking hell boo hoo this game series’ games are similar to each other. almost as if they share the same central identity#absolutely just letting off steam and frustration here i hate when ppl treat the formula as a bad thing when it’s like. what makes them loz#like fuck its not like theyre exactly the same like i said theres a great deal of variety in what each one offers no need to just chuck it#all thats the kind of shit i come to loz for. i go to fire emblem for the specific leveling up strategy gameplay i go to pokemon for the#creature battling and specific world feel botw/totk just. do not carry with them the same signifiers of loz and they dont really have#identities beyond go do whatever the fuck which is not very compelling??? like can we at least commit to something here?#im yelling at shadows here im just. fuckin tired and feeling pessimistic abt this future of this game series whose core gameplay is one of#my all time favorites i really like the tightly designed linear-with-freedom dungeons and puzzles and world and all that#like the aesthetics changing is great and its fun to see different takes and tones on it but that core sense of things is like. The Point#of choosing to play loz yknow what i mean. like just bc its got ‘legend of zelda’ slapped on it doesnt gonna mean im gonna want to play a#vastly different experience if that makes sense. thats not the precedent thats not what you like. expect and associate with this#i feel like i sound like some entitled fuck abt this but like. is that tried and true style just going to be trashed in favor of this#honestly kinda bland everyman-ass style just bc it started to seem like it was getting stale. fuck this im gonna see what tunic’s about#likely delete later this was just a vent. ‘the zelda formula is a bad thing-‘ are you fucking serious rn#like hesitantly hopeful abt eow bc someone i know is excited for it so ill def play it but just. man

went to the movies with the acquaintance today
#and our other friend but he's not relevant#he is dating my cousin#anyways#he has such a vibe that's like#a boy you had a crush on when you were 14#like hot in a douchey way#like he would burp in your face#crushes gatorade and smokes weed#but he's kind of an earnest sweetie pie#but i don't know#yeah anyway he is sexy#honestly this is all because he got a serious girlfriend in between my first meeting him and now#in a way that being capable of having a long-term gf makes a man dateable#and last year we were at coachella and he wore this pakistan soccer jersey#and that really did a lot for me#I've always thought he was cute because he is but i was like hmmmm....... is acquaintance extremely sexy??#but I put those thoughts away bc he had a gf at the time#I fear I will fixate on this because I'm expending so much effort writing about it#i don't really think that I need to obsess over him#it's not like I'm going to date him#but I'm honestly so shocked by how attracted I am to him now#it has never been like this before#I think he's less nervous around me now#I think from interacting with my cousin so much (my cousin who is dating his friend)#people who know her through me or me through her do this thing where they ascribe the things they feel about her to me because we look alik#so i think he's looser around me these days#idk he doesn't seem like a nervous person in general#he's putting out this confidence that makes it really really hard for me to not flirt with him#I've been told I'm a natural flirt#I honestly had to do my best to tone it down in front of our friend
