25-28 is probably my favorite run of episodes just like. in the whole show. especially with added context. like oh ok, john literally just got back from being retraumatized and going through literal hell and literally all he wants is to escape that and know that he's not completely fucked as a person for what he did to survive it. which he isn't even allowed to talk about directly but still desperately wants some kind of comfort/reassurance from the only person he trusts and cares about, who's been his guide and anchor in the past.

unfortunately almost the second he gets back he discovers that arthur's going to be exactly negative helpful in this regard because he's taken all of roughly 24 hours to escalate to "kill everyone in the building and then myself" levels of mental breakdown. so now john's on duty as a sanity checker. fucking. okay. this is the opposite of what he wanted. great.

hot(?) guilty gear take:

danger time is fun and not nearly as bad a mechanic as some people like to claim. they're just salty when they lose to it

looking at this genuinely makes me want to cry lmao it is such a tangled mess and branching dialogue is so much harder than i ever thought it would be BUT i’m really excited to have u guys test it out and get ur feedback and make adjustments and keep learning!!!

this is also technically only one route (with two variations on the ending; the way you behave with him will determine which ending you ultimately get) but the full chat will have at least two routes c: so you can replay it several times and see all of the things he has to say depending on ur own behaviour + responses (*/ω＼*)

Wasn't expecting to restart my tma drawings, or relisten to tma right now, but I'm glad I did. It feels like just as good of a creative exercise as last time.

maybe this is just my frustration with being forced to watch mitchless hockey but last year's push to the playoffs felt genuine - there were multiple trades made for players that clearly added value and kicked the end of the season into high gear (we got ror and had that electric game against buffalo when anything felt possible). this year has just felt so bleh bc we've known about the glaring gaps in depth scoring and the blue line since the beginning of the season and then it just got worse throughout the season and now we haven't had anything to address it - it's hard to see genuine hope for this team and it feels like a slog of hot streaks and disconnected play in between. i watch them bc the core does incredible record-breaking things almost every game but it's hard to belive in a team that's really not that exciting or can barely hold their own in some cases, other than the core.

i agree to an extent!! maybe it's bc last year was my first full year really paying attention to hockey too and everything was shiny and new, but i had a really good time and then. kyle leaving hit and a lot of the old room guys left and it just....... idk. i needed last summer for a reset and i went into this year hopeful but. it's been a disappointment in a lot of ways.

as for the playoffs part... i mean, i just convince myself the leafs are gonna win the cup until they don't so lfksdjlf it's easy for me to be like go leafs ! ! ! but i'm definitely not having as much fun or putting as much stake in the overall team success as i was last year. the fact that they won their first playoff series in decades last year was SO special and cannot be replicated or outdone or relived unless they win a cup now, which is a tall ask esp with this lineup. i definitely care less about this team on the whole and have less belief in them than i did which is... fine. they also feel less like a team. maybe every year i'll just care less and less or maybe brad will do something over the summer that's exciting or, idk. the fandom in general has really detracted from it for me too this year, and i just care less/feel actively annoyed by more and maybe that's a me thing or maybe the average age of ppl everywhere is staying put pretty low and i'm just getting too old for some of this but. can't wait to get a break this year, that's all lol

One thing I will always appreciate about my mom is that she never judged me for my hyperfixations through the years. She gave me room to love whatever I wanted to. She never made fun and she never thought I was weird. She always supported me and, in fact, she even enjoyed them with me.

She'd watch One Direction music videos with me when I was a teenager. She even took me to see the 1D movie in theaters on a school day and she saved her movie ticket. I hate that I wasn't able to find it when we cleaned out her apartment. I remember her crying at the party where Zayn bought his mom a house. To this day she would listen to History. She sent me a link to the mv in August and reminisced on the days when life was easier.

In my later teenage to young adult years she would watch kpop videos with me. We would watch BTS and Astro videos in her room. I remember after Jonghyun passed away I watched Before Our Spring for the first time with her because I was too sad to watch in on my own. She ended up really liking BTS and she'd call me into her room whenever they were on TV. I have videos of her in my phone dancing to Move by Taemin.

We'd even watch anime together. We watched about 7 or 8 episodes of Death Parade and she really liked it. I didn't think she really cared all that much but every now and again she would bring the show up and tell me how much she like it. I hate that we were never able to finish all 12 episodes.

I always thought she'd pretend to be interested in my hobbies to humor me. Whenever I would go to her room and pull up kpop on the TV or watch Sohyang performances with her I would apologize and tell her "I know you don't really care, we don't have to watch if you don't want to." And she would always tell me to stop saying stuff like that. She was so happy to just hang out with me. She was interested in the things I like because I liked them and they made me happy. My brother would make little jokes about my interests from the time I was like 9 years old and obsessed with Justin Bieber. I know they were just jokes but, being a little black kid, I always felt weird about the media I consumed. My mom never made me feel like I was doing anything wrong by liking what I liked. I was able to explore all kinds of stuff and I'm so grateful to her.

Some other fic writers: Oh, no. Diasomnia is throwing out all of my theories like Maleficent being Malleus' grandmother. I have to go back and change everything about my previous works/chapters!

Me: Nah, bitch. I'm sticking to my guns when it comes to my plans. Not only that, I'm gonna change even more about the worldbuilding and lore to improve it. I even completely changed Malleus' past and upbringing to make more sense. Like, on a not super spoilery note, I scraped the "dragon eggs can only hatch by the power of love" shit completely. Partying it up in this joint still with blackjack and hookers...okay, forget the last part.

Something that confuses me (and alarms me a bit ngl) is the assumption I see everywhere that, once Mike moved to Seattle, he just stopped talking to Harvey. I wasn’t saying anything because there had been no confirmation either way (although why Mike would do something like that, or why Harvey would keep calling if he had, I wouldn’t know, so I just assumed he didn’t), but now I’ve watched If The Shoe Fits and there’s confirmation that they were still talking (with what had sadly become Suits-typical disregard for canon -in this case, Mike being confused about the Paula thing when he was actually in NY for it- notwithstanding. We could always assume Harvey didn’t tell him all that went down back then and now he did), so...?

I don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion or not but I’m listening to tbosas again and I think suzanne collins actually did a great job 🤷🏼‍♀️
