“Makima would call you slurs” absolutely brainless take. Makima would tell you she’s got your back and to let her know if anyone’s giving you trouble, then quietly out you to your most homophobic coworkers. She’d make a vicious public example of them right before they crossed a socially acceptable line, filling you with relief but further isolating you. When the whisper campaign forced you out she’d hug you a little too hard at your going-away party and murmur that she wishes you the best. Six months later when your savings are running dry she’d show up at your doorstep and explain that she was just in the area and thought she’d invite her old work buddy out for a drink. She’d be wearing the same white dress shirt even though it’s pouring rain and you’d go along even though your girlfriend is due back in less than an hour. At the izakaya she’d tell you she heard about a new job opportunity that she thinks would be a great fit, as long as you don’t have any other commitments right now. You’d ignore your girlfriend’s texts to listen to her. It’s in a new town. You’d have to move. She needs an answer before the end of the night.

I remember there being someone who liveblogged the entirety of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, who was pretty enthusiastic about DIO and especially Diego once they read Steel Ball Run.

I can't find their blog and it's driving me insane

a bit of JJBA liveblogging / comparison and contrast between Jotaro and DIO, written midway through DIO'S World, Part One:

things DIO has done so far that have been the exact same as what Jotaro does, so far:

uses fear and threats to get people to fold mentally before attacking them physically (DIO invites Polnareff to betray the Joestars and join forces with him again and generally intimidates people into submission; a huge part of his mystique comes from the aura of sheer terror he generates. Jotaro, similarly, wins at gambling on a bluff hand multiple times before meeting DIO, and he often gives his opponents opportunities to back down using threats, e.g. "the next time I see you I'll punch you one thousand times", "if you push that sword in farther it'll be murder", et cetera.)

attacks people with his fists rather than with weapons; has a short-range, high-power Stand (manifestation of the soul), meaning they both like their attacks to be personal

defends himself with pinpoint precision (DIO and Jotaro share an eye for detail and a steady, un-shaking hand) (DIO deflects Emerald Splash by using one finger to cause one gemstone to knock all the others off-course; Jotaro catches swords coming at him in Star Platinum's bare hands)

visibly enjoys it when people show their fear of him (when Jotaro is winning a fight, physical or mental, he smiles in a really unsettling way; Jotaro and DIO share a kind of cruelty, and Jotaro's pleasure in victory is reinforced over and over before he meets DIO)

throws living beings at his enemies (Jotaro threw a dog a few meters; DIO threw a human a few meters & through a car window)

uses sheer force to get his transportation to work (DIO drives on a sidewalk full of pedestrians; Jotaro kicks a motorcycle to get it to work and breaks the chain with his foot, and these scenes are Interposed With Each Other)

things DIO has done that have been different from what Jotaro does:

charms people to get them to submit to him (Jotaro gets people to fold using simple power plays; DIO prefers people to love him, whereas Jotaro actively dislikes being fawned over)

does not show mercy of any sort (Jotaro repeatedly shows mercy, even when it's things like "I broke your finger and I could have just ripped it off; be grateful")

kills and maims his own people

loves the sound of his own voice (Jotaro. does not)

For the last weeks I've been writing like 7 scripts for possible YouTube videos.

The cool thing is that I just have to talk to myself out loud and then write an approximation of what I said. Rewriting that stuff into an actual script is much more mechanical than I thought (which is insanely good news, since it's not dependent on my bursts of inspiration).

It sounds easy when I say it now, but 3 months ago it seemed impossible.

I rewatched Coraline yesterday, and as a character she kinda reminds me of Uzi.

I hate myself.

For the last couple of weeks I started suspecting I might also have ADHD

It would definitely explain a couple of things

The reason Gerald Robotnik is alive is that the storyline the movie is actually adapting is Sonic Destruction

Jokes aside, Tenet is really satisfying to dissect. After an entire afternoon of hyperfixating on Tenet I feel like I genuinely understand the concept, which feels incredible, and I think the reason many people didn't like it is because they went to watch a movie and got homework instead.

The characters and plot in Tenet exist almost exclusively to showcase the concept Nolan had hyperfixated on at the time. If you don't enjoy pausing and rewatching a scene multiple times, you will get very little out of Tenet apart from the superficial spectacle.

I just rewatched Tenet after years and boy is it a ti si yob dna sraey retfa teneT dehctawer tsuj I

If the Lilo & Stitch remake is actually good, that's a win. If it sucks, people are gonna rewatch the original. Win-win situation.

I hhope that brings a new wave of fanfictions either way

I want to start liveblogging Wander Over Yonder again, but @briantheinformer is very busy currently. I could alternatively liveblog by myself, rewatch it with him and add his thoughts the second time (like I did with episode 1).

I've been listening to some of the songs individually, and now I like them a lot more... my problem is still the sheer density of them.

I didn't like the musical episode

[thehumanflintfun]

"Season 1 of Dead End: Paranormal Park has 1 song per episode" actualy just statistical error. Average episode has 0 songs. Phantom of the Theme Park, which becomes a musical and has 9 songs in 20 minutes, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

[thehumanflintfun]

Expected. I'm waiting on the cross.
