Roxen & Turb Mix n' Match Photos (PART 1)

AS PROMISED here are alllllll (Edit: Uh, some.) of the pics of my Mystery Doll 1 (Now named Essie. Like the nailpolish brand I guess? I don't know I like it.)

Ok that's all ty byebyebyeby- kidding. I'm kidding. More under the cut-- WAY MORE under the cut.

We'll start with the head--

Feels nice and solid. I got her as clean as I was physically capable of with the tools I had-- I think maybe her lips were previously a -touch- over sanded, but I don't think it's anything I can't fix with a good faceup.

"Rose," I hear you asking, "Where are her ears?" I don't know, man. She didn't come with ears. From my understanding Roxen & Turb had magnetic elf ears that could be switched out with magnetic human ears. I've been looking for them to purchase forever without any luck-- I'll probably have to sculpt her some new ones.

Tops and bottoms, insides and outsides. The inside of her head is a bit grubby, probably coulda' cleaned it a bit better but sometimes you get tired.

GOOD. Ok!! Let's take a look at her torso top and bottom!

We're not censoring this Doll Nudity(tm) 'cause, again, these images are for comparison and cataloguing purposes. If you are unsettled by doll nudity you can scroll real fast for a second and the doll nudity will vanish. I still am not entirely sure what's up with these two parts. Is that a boy top with a girl bottom? Is this an old sculpt girl with a smaller chest size? I suspect -maybe- because I've seen other folks who own this sculpt but also I'm not positive, it's hard to find images of the older/oldest Little Gem sculpts.

Alright! Let's look at the insides of each torso piece.

Notice the little notches? The top of the legs have a spot that I think is meant to kind of click in place there for better posing. It..almost works.

So the top piece here is glued in place, which, I've been told is typical. Little piece of strange resin inside there that I think is just an artifact of casting.

The neck hole looks a little rough-- I think it's slightly damaged, probably from the previous owner. I could smooth that out easy enough.

scalloped like potatoes. These little ridges actually work pretty well for posing. Notice that this doll's seams have been well sanded. Very slight discoloration here and there, especially around said sanded seam.

ALRIGHT torso 1 & 2 are catalogued! Lets move to the arms, legs, and feet, shall we?

Take note of the lil' L and R etched inside of the socket there.

Here they are, the notches.

And more notches! These ones also only work sort of ok.

Here's how the lil' cap joint works on the lower leg parts.

And- oh! Oh woah. Did you guys know we're only allowed 30 images in one post? I, just now, have made this discovery. See part TWO for further images on Essie's arms and legs. :)

Tragic isnt it

[ghostmartyr]

How do you feel the way they handled Ymirs Letter and Friedas flashback this episode? (also watch out for the end card its super sad but sweet!

The anime is bad and it should feel bad, because that’s how I get to feel every time I think about it. Official position do not steal, etc.

That’s me kidding, but... Hell, no it’s not. Not really. Like, I love the anime, but about this in particular? No. I’m pretty miserable about the whole thing. My predominant feeling is that they just did not care (despite a history of doing far better), and it’s hard to get past that.

I was annoyed last season with how they handled the letter.

I am more annoyed now.

Similarly, I was annoyed last half of this season how they handled Historia and Frieda. I am more annoyed now.

There’s also the blanket feeling of being consistently irritated that the anime has done its level best to butcher the intricacies and heart of Historia’s character arc.

Historia’s arc is one that is told slowly, over time, as she come to terms with her traumas and finds who she wants to be past them. The anime did everything it could to truncate that (because everybody hates Uprising evidently), and the result is a story that has maybe half the impact it should.

So that’s frustrating.

Then Frieda enters the stage, and we hit more than frustrating. She and Historia are given one flashback. Her scene where she’s overtaken by the First King and yells at Historia for climbing a fence is cut. Historia’s full understanding of what that means for taking on the Founding Titan is cut.

Frieda is beautiful as ever in her frame this episode, but unless you read the manga, the full depth of her bond with Historia simply is not there. It’s an emotional callback to emotions we’ve never been invited to experience. It does not work for the same reason the letter does not work; the anime does not care to give either element the time to settle.

Ymir’s letter, in the manga, is a full recounting of her life. She tells Historia about all the parts Historia wasn’t there for. She tells Historia, without saying it directly, here. Here is how much I understand you. Here is what we share.

This reveal happened in season two, for the anime.

The anime has also never felt the need to show off the time Historia gets rocks thrown at her.

I like that Historia taps into Paths to find Ymir. Full, Grade A Soulmate coolness. Whatever. Fine. It’s fine. It’s great. Super. Fantastic.

Only every single thing that makes the letter carry emotional weight has been stripped down to its bones. If you haven’t been paying obsessive attention to Ymir and Historia, you are not going to know what those flashes of images mean, except that Historia is reaching out to Ymir. The anime focuses on that, not the layers upon layers of connection that Ymir’s letter touches.

It is neat that they handed over a different moment for Ymir and Historia, but the reason they needed to change the scene is because they completely mismanaged their time. Historia’s arc has been devoured by the anime. Because they wanted to speed up all of the surrounding elements, they never gave her character work time to breathe, and her time with Ymir’s letter and her memory of Frieda are both prime symptoms of that decision.

They wanted Ymir’s backstory in the second season. That took it away from this season, and away from Ymir sharing it with Historia.

Historia’s ability to see memories being expanded upon is neat (last seen when she kills Rod). Maybe the manga will care to bring that in too. It’s all cool. Lovely. Awesome.

The emotional resonance is just playing at the completely wrong frequency, because they abandoned the foundation. Too much is missing for it to sing on any of the levels it’s going for.

In summation, I am way bummed. Thank you for the ask.

Every time I see an ad for the last season of AOS, I remember that it premiered the same Fall season as SH and SH got better reviews, much to the surprise of, well, everyone. So... Don’t rest on your laurels.  You current narrative isn’t permanent.

[yukipri]

This article made me weep.

“Yeah, yeah. Cody was the big one. I love the idea of Obi-Wan having a buddy on Tatooine. Like a secret buddy. So like the first time he goes into town, you see, Cody, and he’s following him through the streets and attacks him, takes him into an alley with a knife to his throat and says, ‘You’re dead.’ And then you realize, ‘Oh, no… Cody’s making a point.’ Like, ‘Come on. You got to be more careful.’”

We coulda had it alllllll...

*me singing we coulda had it alllllll in the background bc another ship got stuck in the Suez but it got better*

❝ no, i don’t trust you. not anymore. you broke that. ❞ / (vamp verse uwu)

          HE STOPPED HIMSELF FROM SNARLING A SMILE AT HER, A GUT-REACTION, and instead opted to let out the most dry, hollow scoffed laugh. Funny how her fleeting and fickle morals seemed to finally be taking a stand -- all over some misconception that he was some puppet for the vampire she wanted to slay. Like he was two-facing her. Fine, if she wanted to finally villainize him, so be it. Gin wouldn’t be nice, he hadn’t the heart to be soft. And now this Hunter stood as though ready to oppose him. Ready to throw her life away going solo against the strongest, the original vampire of myth and legend. All because her Hunter Handbook told her vampires were utterly and unquestionably controlled by and loyal to their sires.

          Maybe others were, but Gin was not. Their relationship thus far was a testament to that fact, his hunting alongside the human for relics and ways to slay stronger vamps. All while (unknowing, he hadn’t known the name of the vamp she wanted dead until she got her side almost ripped out, and her recovering in his den on his bed seemed like a bad time to bring up the fact that she was hunting his maker) helping preparation for her attempt on Aizen’s undead life. Helping her. Saving her. Possibly even caring for her. Needless to say, Gin didn’t do well with perhaps the first dosage of hurt in his undead heart. He was more beast than man, and a beast was prone to lashing out when hurt. He’d not strike her, no, but his words would ----

          ❝ .... Strange, ❞ Gin spoke. A low tone, a languid trailing as Gin stepped forward, the light overhead which had once been so warm suddenly dimming, flickering weakly, casting a feeble colder light akin to a failing halo above him. The air was ice.

          ❝ .... y’had no issue trustin’ me until now ---- kinda interestin’, that. You realize I’m th’ toughest vamp you’ve met in alllllll these years, right? Did it ever occur to you that maybe there was a reason for that? That maybe th’ vamp who made me wasn’t some grunt sweatin’ over papercuts? ❞ Another step, and he loomed forward again; she struck a sore spot, punishing him like this for something he hadn’t had any power over. Yet she should have known that, should have known vampires forcibly turned humans into their kin. She should know better ----

          I NEVER WANTED THIS, I NEVER WANTED TO BE HIS.

          But that feeling in his chest was foreign, that seeping despair. It felt like a sickness, like he ate something spoiled and it was churning in his gut, making him swallow hard. Weakness to be swept away, shoved down. Replaced by a snarl, a show of too-sharp canines slipping into view past that wicked grin. Hollow, oh so terribly hollow.

          ❝ Like it or not, you ain’t gonna be able to deny th’ fact that I’m your way in. You got no shot at Aizen alone, you need me. But you...? I don’t need you. I coulda killed you the moment we met, meanwhile y’can’t even put a scratch on me. What makes ya think you can take him down? But sure, now’s the time to bring up my sire. My sire who I didn’t choose. He bought me, then raised me, then turned me. But I ain’t about to tell my sob story for sympathy. ❞ Gin gave an upwards tip of his chin as he all but towered over her, looking down with a sharp, feral stare, pupils slit. More beast than man, more beast than man ---- the lights burst, a coiling press of razor nails into the inner portion of his palms, a flex of anger marring what once was... something in those azure blades for a gaze. A familiar coiling spell swiftly circled at his feet, the same that he used to transport the once-injured Hunter to his den, conjured silently.

          ❝ It clearly ain’t in a Hunter’s capacity to care ‘bout my kind anyways. ❞

          The walls and rooftop shuddered as the teleportation spell swelled around him, coiling faster, enveloping him ---- until all remaining lights within their underground meeting place, a Hunter’s little safehouse, burst in shattering shards of glass and sparks of electricity raining down. He was gone, leaving only an angry, empty darkness behind.

[whirlybirbs]

birb’s big ol’ take on THE RISE OF SKYWALKER below!

honestly, i had fun. it was a fun movie -- and i’ve never been a star wars purist. these movies, ever since i was a kid, have brought me so much joy. i could care less about the quality a lot of the time because the movies mean so much to me, but honestly TROS cemented my belief that TLJ was a joke. i might catch flak for it, but there was so much that... i coulda just.... never known. or seen. and the end would have been the same. 

in all fairness, watching the originals (4-6) have the same effect on me. same war, same moral high-ground, same narrative, same twists. it’s kinda on brand for star wars to not make much sense until the end. 

i honestly enjoyed it. a lot. there were some weird plot holes, some weird moments, but it was fun. and i saw my favorite characters grow and evolve and !!! anyways, here are some top moments i’d like to address. 

1. king grouch poe dameron ran spice.

he ran spice. this motherfucker. ran spice. he ran spice and had a hot bounty hunter partner and he left for the cause. poe left the criminal underground for the naval academy so he could fight for something and... i love him. 

kinda outta left field -- but you know what isn’t?

2. trio dynamics.

poe and rey arguing. fin is tired. he’s trying to keep it all together. rey likes to prod poe for fun. poe is just trying to fucking do his best. i love the idea that rey and poe, the two poster children for the resistance bicker endlessly -- it’s like leia’s two other kids. 

(also, the base on ajan kloss? beautiful. literally so so beautiful. in fact, all the planets we see? stunning. the movie itself is breathtaking.)

3. what the fuck was finn gonna say

i mean, probably confess his love, bc if i’m not shipping rose/rey or rey/literally any woman ever, i’m shipping rey/finn. their dynamic is pure and good and healthy and they love and support one another and -- ugh GOD my KING JOHN BOYEGA LOOKED SO FUCKIN GOOD. 

4. jedi master leia organa

do i need to make a comment on this? i open mouth sobbed. that’s my princess. that’s my BITCH!!!!!!!!! also? force luke being like “rey u bitch don’t u dare throw my shit into that fire pit”.

5. hux is the fucking mole because of fucking course he is, that slimy bastard, i love him.

honestly, we knew. we alllllll knew. we knew that insufferable brat was out for kylo’s whole ass -- but i do wish, instead of adding old empire general’s, they’d stuck with hux in command. the collateral damage and shock value would have been so much better. not to mention, a good old side switch. i wanna see hux on ajan kloss swatting at bugs and being uncomfortable. 

i’m poe: “I KNEW IT WAS YOU.”

6. thank fucking god for a ben solo redemption arc. thank fucking god. 

i’ve been talking about ben’s redemption for a while now -- one that’s only fitting if he dies in the process and! MY MAN JJ CAME THRU. HE KNEW. 

honestly this movie really did solidify ben solo as one of my favorite characters in the star wars universe -- there’s such a strong dichotomy to this evil creature he’s been groomed to be and himself, the idiot goes “ow” to no one in particular after a hard fall. he’s so so so like han it hurts. 

i think he arc is so much like a manic comedown -- in the beginning of the movie he’s just nerves on fire. 

and the elephant in the room:

the r*ylo kiss. 

ok, here’s the thing. i’m gonna analyze this real quick.

rey, my absolute queen, saves ben the moment after she absolute kicks his ass. the moment of weakness is spurred by leia reaching out -- she distracts ben, he feels her, rey strikes, leia dies with ben. rey feels it. and she feels guilt. so, she gives a part of her lifeforce to ben, healing him.

earlier in the movie, with that big ol’ snake? me thinks: dats symbolism luv.

kylo ren is a terrifying serpent, hidden deep in the caverns of the dark, wounded and dangerous -- but with a tepid hand and compassion, rey offers a piece of herself to heal the serpent. and what happens? the snake moves, and the caverns are filled with light. 

ben comes to after that -- after his sworn enemy strikes him down and saves his life in one swoop. ben sees his father. he reconciles. and han knows he’s sorry. and just like rey tried to throw luke’s saber in the fire to escape the mantle of jedi, ben promptly hurls his lightsaber (a symbol of his imbalance, volatility, evil) into this terrifying sea. 

rey is fire, ben is water. balance.

so, then there’s the whole twin-force-bond-dyad-weird-shit. it’s a bit much of an explanation as to why rey and ben are tied together karmatically -- them just being such polar opposites on a similar journey is enough for me. 

i think -- honestly -- after rey defeats palpatine by his own hand? and she passes? ben felt it. he sacrificed himself for her, in one last show for his mother’s spirit. 

the kiss? rey felt him slipping away, felt what he wanted -- love and acceptance and... i dunno, man, ben’s smile said it all. i’m not a particularly big shipper of it (there’s a lot of toxicity within enemies to lovers tropes, especially one as a deep as rey and ben’s) but it was nice to see, in those last few minutes, ben solo throw away the dark for something good. 

hhhhhhhhhhhh pls don’t burn me at stake

[lucky-clover-gazette]

season 4 first watch impressions

under the cut are my thoughts and my new overall series episode ranking (spoilers)

ep1 - uss callister

- by far my favorite of the season

- a perfect blend of comedy and tragedy 

- i would have loved this as a full movie

- honestly nanette is amazing, like she owns her smarts and sexuality and never gives up i love her

- male coder: “it won’t work, i’ve already tried”

nanette: “well i haven’t” HELL YEAH

- i honestly loved all the ‘crew’ characters, even the gym rat boss

- i especially enjoyed the speech from the boss to robert, where he’s like ‘i acknowledge that i was an ass, but dude, YOU PUSHED MY SON OUT AN AIRLOCK’

- also the fuckin casual dialogue between the monster and bad guy and the crew

- OHHH BOY AND THE FACT THAT ROBERT’S GONNA ROT TO DEATH IN HIS APARTMENT BECAUSE HE PUT ‘DO NOT DISTURB’ ON HIS APARTMENT DOOR, HELL YEAH

- ‘oh my fuck’ 

- 10/10, watch it now

ep2 - arkangel

- preface: the kid playing young owen teague and his family were actually really close with my family when he and my little sister were kids. it was goddamn surreal to see that lil guy talking about porn when i remember him being, like, eight. but nice going nick, keep kicking ass lil dude

- okay so this episode was... conflicting 

- the opener made sense, but in some ways i thought it was TOO obvious and indicative of the episode’s message and tone. i can’t help but wonder if it would have been better just starting like five minutes in

- her father looked like counselor healy from orange is the new black, so that was distracting

- okay jesus christ lady, i get that losing your kid is scary, but implanting her with ‘optional’ optic spying and censoring software is such a massive violation of her privacy. like, it’s one thing when she’s tiny, but how the hell are you going to feel okay with yourself as a parent when she’s an adolescent? 

- the blocking especially pissed me off. that’s so fucking dangerous. either this woman is just very stupid, or very desperate

- at least the narrative established that it kind of was the latter. when her father gets sick, the mother has to care both for both her father and her child. that’s a lot. but still not an excuse for such mental violation of a quickly-growing human being

- young edgelord and sara are fucking adorable

- sara’s self-harm and rage issues are not, however,, and i’m glad that her mother took her head out of her ass and ditched the tablet

- is it just me or is fifteen-year-old sara kind of an idiot? like i get it she’s grunge and artsy, and i loved her giving a treat to the dog, but she seems to be almost hanging out with owen teague because he deals, and not despite it. like i get that i’m supposed to buy that their romance has kind of a subtext of him ‘teaching’ her about things, but like the underage sex and coke are kinda yikes. i feel like he definitely should have had more restraint, and although what the mother does is royally fucked, he and sara are also both to blame

- all right, so the smoothie motif. what a great narrative tool. the miscarriage pill was the most clever part of the episode. sara’s reaction was very well-acted, and the standoff between her and her mother was intense as hell

- i liked that sara’s rage issues remained into adolescence. i was glad that the tablet got wreckt, but i can’t help but wonder if it would have been more effective to have her rage-smash it prior to her mother coming come, leaving the pieces for her to find. the actual beating up of the mother with the tablet seemed to literal, too much sinking in the message. there were moments in crocodile and hang the dj that were the same way. 

- the ending, with sara hitchhiking in some stranger’s truck, was very smart. the ambiguity of a young girl, on her own, hopping in some stranger’s vehicle, is powerful without much explanation. any parent would be horrified by this; that’s what i don’t think we actually needed to see the mother screaming sara’s name and bleeding to understand the horror of losing a child to the unknown

- this one definitely gives me the most complicated feelings of the season; on one hand, it had a lot of great devices going for it. on the other hand, it was over-written and at times trying too hard to be ‘black mirror.’ the grey morality and ambiguous ending reminded me of a literary short story, which i love in my TV.

- 7/10, watch it if you liked most black mirror episodes that weren’t san junipero

ep3 - crocodile

- ah yes, the ‘i watch black mirror to be fuckin ashamed of humanity’ episode

- idk man, i liked it. it was bleak, and fucked up, but i’m all about that downward spiral. i liked that the story kind of began in three different places and then tied together. just as i had with ‘hated in the nation,’ i love police procedural stuff

- also damn, it was freaky as hell to see the straight-laced white blonde soccer-mom type being a despicable murdering sociopath!!! like, gotta go kill an entire family of POC, including a goddamn INFANT, and then see my kid’s show, that’s great. i was so happy when she got what she deserved. 

- all right, so i had one MAJOR PROBLEM with this episode: why the fuck did they make the son blind? the guinea pig twist was so GOOD, and mia fuckin killed a BABY, they didn’t need to further modify that!!! this is another example of black mirror doing just a tad more than it needs to make the audience feel horrible. 

- okay black mirror, we get it, that song is your thing, but can you maybe slide it in as a less glaring easter egg? 

- 8/10, but only if you’re into dark shit and bad endings

ep4 - hang the dj

- not nearly gay enough

- seriously, the entire episode i was unable to focus on the main characters because i kept looking around this Tinder-esque 20′s dating paradise and saw ZERO GAY OR LESBIAN COUPLES. i’m so surprised by this, especially after ‘san junipero.’ at first i was like, maybe this is like society’s way of encouraging procreation because of population decline, but that wasn’t the twist at all. no reason for nearly everyone to be hetero

- THAT BEING SAID, i see you. bi amy. even before the girl partner, i was aware that she used ‘they/them’ pronouns when referring to hypothetical partners. i just wish we could have seen more gay couples in the background (for example, at the choosing ceremony thing, it coulda been two dudes of something)

- uh okay, so everyone loved this episode, and it was okay. some of the banter and jokes were funny and relatable, but honestly, this wasn’t *that* good. the plot wasn’t super original (reminded me a lot of ep1 of hulu’s ‘dimension 404′) and the execution was kind of suuuuuuper basic. like, black suited Enforcers with tasers? a massive matrix wall? the whole thing seemed so predictable and just... basic as hell. 

- but shit man, amy was cool. loved that character in a vacuum. 

- honestly if someone could explain the reasons for loving this episode, i’d like to hear them. because i just don’t get it, man. maybe it’s because i’m gay, or young, or single, or unexperienced... but i just wasn’t very impressed

- 6/10, not even fuckin close to ‘san junipero’ lmao 

ep5 - metalhead

- black and white seemed sort of pretentious, not gonna lie. i think i would have preferred the dirty palette of ‘white bear’ post-apocalypse

- i am all for these female protagonists this season. hell yeah

- soo those corpses in the bed were heavy, but i actually kind of wish we got to see more of that? like, the remains of humanity after the dogs attacked? also, more small explanations for the dogs’ attack would have been interesting

- loved the chase and fight scenes. i can see how they’d be boring, but the moments of conflict between man v. machine were fucking awesome

- K N I F E  D O G

- anyone else get serious farenheit 451 vibes?

- the teddy bear thing was dumb. i don’t think we needed to see what was inside the warehouse. yet another time black mirror threw in just a little more than we needed

- okay so belle keeps alluding to the fact that she has safe family members out there somewhere, so am i to believe that there is some place where humans are safe from dogs? if so, why the actual fuck did she leave? i can’t believe it was just because of fuckin teddy bears

- alllllll the david lynch vibes

- 7/10, but you gotta actually pay attention to the visual details to get the best parts

ep6 - black museum

- BOOOOYYYYYYY! this entire episode i waited for the fuckin shoe to drop and then SHE! DID! THAT!

- the amount of callbacks to previous episodes was,, nice,, but also it was kind of annoying??? and unnecessary? 

- the museum owner was reaaaaaalllly annoying, which is think was intentional. what a fuckin sleaze. in comparison, i thought that jon hamm in ‘white christmas’ was still a somewhat charismatic narrator, but this dude was just yikes

- so, the first story was... kind of a lazy reach? idk, it just felt kinda like a parody of black mirror itself. i get the entire ‘mad science’ vibe they were trying to evoke, but as opposed to the next story, this one had very little to say about human nature. black mirror works its best when it tells stories that use technology as a way to analyze humanity; this one really didn’t (we all already know we’ve got weird kinks)

- the second story was better, but, like, SUPER heartbreaking. poor carrie. i don’t think her husband should have done The Thing at all, honestly, I don’t believe that he couldn’t have seen what happened next coming. it’s like the arkangel mom again; either these characters are just SUPER present-oriented, or just fuckin dumb

- the most tragic moment in this season was ‘monkey needs a hug.’ i felt nauseous 

- okay, now for THE TWIST! the accent drop was a great touch, and i loved that she was poisoning him the entire time. also fuck white men and supremacists, and fuck the museum dude for enabling them. 

- the ending was great. i liked that her mom was chillin with her. the building blowing up was very tarantino. loved her a lot

- 8.5/10, boring in the beginning but the end is worth it 

and now..

[toytulini]

Hi who wants to read me complain abt both architectural designa and colors despite probably not being qualified to whine abt either one?

Mmk as u can see, these are meant to have beachy vibes. Lets begin.

House 1: what the fuck, my dude, its fucking red and it looks like a goddamn farmstead, where the hell are u getting any sort of Beach, Seaport or Shore vibe? What does it have a fucking duck pond? Is that the beach we’re discussing? God. 2/10 u get 2 points for duck pond, but if theres no ducks or duck pond its like 0/10

House 2: okay. This feels like there was an attempt. Its still puts off farmstead vibes to me but the yellows could potentially indicate seaside? But what the fuck. You went and ruined it, with the red roof and door. Why. Stop putting so much Red in here its not fucking northcoasty what the fuck. 4/10 but almost a 0 bc im so furious abt the potential that uve gone and fucked over with ur Red. Fuck off.

House 3: okay its not immediately hideous, but theres like. No beachy vibes here at all. There is nothing. This looks so goddamn generic. Im bored. I hate it more almost bc its just so mediocre looking. At least the other ones looked like ud have like a ghost or smth interesting, damn. 4/10

House 4: colorwise u came SO CLOSE but then u had to go and paint that door fucking red didnt u. Why do u hate me. Why is the door red. Why are there so many Red Doors. I dont like it. Designwise….what. what is this. 1 it looks. Southern? Whats going on w the windows. Why are they so weird. Why do u have so much Extra Trim™ around the windows??? Its Uglie and makes me feel like there was potential for bigger windows and more natural light but them u went, nah, I wanna piss ppl off with this ugly ass Unecessary trim. Go home. 3/10

House 5: okay right off the bat? This is no seaport or shore. This is a fucking lakehouse. With disappointing windows, bc theres so much….extra space, we coulda had it alllllll. This better have a great fucking view+nice interior to make up for the disappointment that is those windows. I will be lenient and say it has lakebeach vibes, which is more than i can say of the others so far. 6/10

House 6: mmmmmmmm buddy. We escape from the hell that is Red Doors with a tasteful Spiced Cedar™. But then. U go and fuck it up. Why is this house green. Not even a good green(I say, as if anyone uses good greens these days. No one does, theyre all to scared to dedicate themselves to a nice green so all the greens we get are truly pathetic) Listen. U know how u accentuate that lovely Spiced Cedar™ door and window trim? U know how u make that nice and beachy, coastal, shoreliney? COOL BLUES, YA FUCK. And yet, ur so determined to Disappoint me. However, points for design, its got that nice classic Widows Peak that all Northern Shore houses should have, u were so close my dude. 7/10. God.

House 7: This is the best one uve offered so far. The design is Not Bad, and the colors(look bettet irl wtf camera. I swear thats a nicer blue irl not fucking indigo purply) theres definitely room for improvement, but its the most cohesive one so far. It has its mind set on a vibe, and it followed through. Design is meh but I guess im feeling forgiving. 8/10

House 8: What The Fuck. Guess we couldnt avoid Red Door Hell forever huh, it comes back with a Vengeance of a Very southern looking house and two, horribly, glaring red doors that scream for a wrecking ball. Fuck you 0/10, dont even look at me.

OKAY. SO. i know i'm seriously all over the place, (and i'm sorry i'm telling you all this but no one else i know watches the 100 and i NEED to talk about it) but i did end up going back to S1 to watch the show properly and damn. so many emotions. also. octavia??? hot as fucking fuck???? a total badass? raven and octavia are kilLING me

like right this show... we coulda had it alllllll...

if only they’d treated their minorities with any respect...

the beginning of O’s transformation was beautiful.  and raven, my love since the moment she graced the screen. all my girls tbh. but yes. I agree.

and it’s totally cool that you come rant to me about your feelings. I mean. I feel like half my interactions are yelling about my feelings for fictional characters sooooo come join the party.
