#this wasnt worth it guys

[closetsof-backlogged-dreams]

so, ik not a single person gives a shit, but fun fact/story time about me: i've never actually, in full, watched the last three episodes of merlin. i've been in this fandom for about a year, and have even written entire analyses on specific scenes in the last episode, so let me explain my madness lol.

when i was younger, maybe like 10 or 11, my mom was OBSESSED with this show. like, she'd watch it all the time. i could distinctly remember random scenes i walked in on, like when they try to execute Gwen and the soldiers pull Arthur and her apart, or that one random episode when Arthur is placed on that wheel with an apple in his mouth and knives are thrown at him, or, the one that probably left the most impact, was the entire ending of the show. i watched probably the last ten minutes of the last episode, and watched Arthur die and Gwen be crowned sole ruler of Camelot. i didn't really care tbh lol.

but because of that, i knew exactly how the show ended. i had also seen bits and pieces of the two episodes before, so i just generally had a vague idea of the final three episodes, arguably the most important in the entire series.

but then, i got older, and got more and more interested in fandom. and yk which fandom i saw in every corner of the internet? that goddamn show my mom used to watch as a kid. i always told myself i'd watch it at some point, but i didn't get around to it until they announced it was being taken off netflix. let me tell you, that was the binge session of my LIFE. i watched all five seasons (except for the last three episodes) within a week and a half. but when i had around half a week left to finish the series before it was removed, i completely avoided those last three episodes. i buried myself in fanfic, tumblr posts, and the like. then i found them all free on youtube, around two days before it got removed, and i just told myself i'd watch them later. newsflash: i didn't.

i've been VERY active in the fandom ever since (honestly way too active, im like mentally ill lmao) and still havent seen those episodes. i wrote an entire 3k word essay (that i had to cut A LOT from lol) about the series and even analyzed the scene where Arthur dies in a portion of it. now, i keep saying i still haven't seen those episodes, but that's actually untrue. because as of ten minutes ago, i watched them.

so what does that make this post? well, it makes it a warning, because i am going to be so completely insufferable about this series i am 100% sure someone is going to poison me within the next 72 hours. be warned—i am a changed woman now, and i am absolutely unstoppable.

#sof absolutely loses her shit #thats what this is right #i am actually so unwell its not even funny #i have cried like six times within the past two hours #merlin has destroyed me #honestly why did i watch those episodes #this wasnt worth it guys #i am In Pain #merthur #merlin #bbc merlin #bbcm #arthur pendragon #merlin bbc #merlin thoughts

Finished the Knuckles Show and uhhhhhhhhhh it’s certainly a show.

There’s good stuff buried in every episode especially where Knuckles is concerned. They set up a very interesting arc for him and just didn’t really explore much with it. After the first episode Knuckles is shoved to the side CONSTANTLY and is made the B plot more often than he should be as the TITULAR character.

Every criticism that said Wade takes over the show is correct.

After episode 1, Wade takes over every A plot and Knuckles is only ever in the B plot that has either minimal time focused on him or he’s just straight up not around (episode 4 is the worst offender here but it’s an issue from eps2-6). They actively write Knuckles out of the plot constantly and it’s very frustrating.

If you like Wade and enjoy his personal journey about his family then this’ll be fine. I, for one, thought it was interesting on its own but 100% it has no reason to be here in a SONIC MOVIE KNUCKLES spin off show. This is not Knuckles’ show. It’s Wade’s and that’s the biggest let down.

Knuckles IS there but that’s it, he’s just THERE.

And it sucks because Movie!Knuckles himself is very well crafted and very entertaining and engaging to watch. The show is at its strongest when it’s about Knuckles and spending time with him. Episode 1 is the only episode that it feels like what it was advertised as - the Knuckles show.

Sonic, Tails, and Maddie only show up for the first episode and never come back. Which is wild because part of the plot is Maddie has grounded Knuckles and he sneaks out but there’s never any consequences shown once he gets home nor do we see how anyone reacted once they noticed Knuckles is gone. These three are just abandoned after episode 1.

Tails has like 6 or 7 lines, my boy deserves sm better LMAOO

A big highlight, however, I LOVED Sonic in this one episode. The way you can see and FEEL how he’s grown from movie to movie and in this first episode is very well done. He’s truly becoming the Sonic I know and when he and Knuckles had their conversation on the roof where he tries to help Knuckles see the beauty in Green Hills, his home - that entire scene was PURE Sonic’s golden heart on display. He does still have his jokes that remind you Ben Schwartz is his actor and that he’s a silly kid but he IS still Sonic at his core and I loved that. It made me very sad we didn’t get to see more of him but I appreciated seeing Sonic handled this way. It makes me very eager to see how movie 3 goes about him considering everything Shadow brings to the table and how different of a threat he’s gonna be for Sonic.

Episode 2 is alright but GOOD LORD episodes 3-5 are such a waste of time. There’s good sprinkled in them in isolation but as full blown episodes, a waste. You can skip most of what’s happened and be fine.

The big climax fight in the finale just HAPPENS. The plot armor literally comes bursting through the wall and yanks Knuckles out of the plot for way too long and we only get TRUE and INCREDIBLE Movie Knuckles action (his fire fists which were insane btw) in the last 5 minutes and it only lasted like 2 of those 5 minutes.

Overall, it’s not entirely unwatchable but it’s not worth a majority of people’s time. You don’t need this for movie 3 so if you wanna skip it - I’d recommend that. If you really watch though, I’d only say watch the first episode and the finale and just google the context for what’s in between bc eps 2-5 are total slogs after a while.

If you like silly dumb fun - this is the show for you. But it’s not the show many Sonic fans may have wanted or expected.

I’m not angry or anything like many people have been. It’s not worth getting angry over. I’m moreso just disappointed because I can see a good show about Knuckles hidden in there. They just opted to give more time into Wade for whatever reason.

Just an overall let down imo.

Knuckles deserved better❤️

dave foley as chris, it's pat (1994)

Sorry to curse the dashboards of mankind with this film. But. chris is very pretty so its worth it. lorddd this movie is terrible, everyone says this about 90% of his filmography but dave is genuinely the only watchable part of this movie... I love you chris, pat doesn't deserve you 💔

#I ONLY WATCHED THIS MOVIE BECAUSE JASPER SAID IT WAS WORTH IT. GUYS. #i thought this movie was occasionally really pretty when we got to see certain locations. interiors and exteriors. im a sucker for how #some movies looked in the 90s. #i liked.... some of mr devoguys music YES MOTHERSBAUGH did the score and it was weird but i also loved the. love theme. its cute #obviously. chris.... and ween was fun. #everything else. not good. i wasnt expecting it to be so i wasnt terribly floored but MAN. what a bad concept to base a film on #extremely poorly aged. time capsule of our perspective on gnc people. androgynous. nb and trans ppl. dismal #dave foley #chris riley #it's pat

less a continuation and more of a thought bubble but ghost would hate price in this au

when he pulls him out of the gulag, so many of soap’s new behaviours click into place. things that never made sense to him as a natural progression of who soap was, that aren't just a product of walling himself off and turning his heart to stone

his soap never smoked. always complained when ghost lit up about the damage it did to the lungs, how it would slow him down in the long run

his john, always trying to be the best soldier

that's why seeing him suck on a cigar like it's second nature is so jarring. even more so when he'd only take a few puffs; enough for a taste and to make smoke coil through the air around him. always the same brand, always left to burn down in his fingers

then ghost sees him gift his cigar box to price, something that took pride of place on his desk practically before the man clears medical and seeing the way they both relax as he sets a match to one makes him realise

in an effort to run away from soap, john had tried to mould himself into price

god forbid ghost ever reads soap's journal. he's heard the "what the hell kind of name is soap” story from him, of the first time he'd ever met the captain and if he ever saw his words echoed in john's hand? saw just how far the man had wormed his way, so deep into him that he was speaking with his tongue?

price's monologues, making himself larger than life all in an effort to make this shitstorm feel more grand than just another war they're all trying to live through, acting like he’s being profound when he’s really just dodging anyone that questions him

letting price take roach out from under his wing like soap didn't identify with the kid the second he saw him, all of his self-deprecative habits hitting tenfold as he blames himself for every stray bullet; as if price could've plucked them from the very sky

the way soap steps back without a word of protest to let price command the team he handpicked and price just accepting? like his years of leadership mean nothing, like john means nothing after trying so hard to follow in his footsteps, just to be tossed aside

the rage ghost would feel at his indifference, as if soap’s behaviour is to be expected and not a series of red flags. add the nuke mission and his actions during and after shepherd’s betrayal? ghost would despise him

#this instalment brought to you by mactavishs journal bc holy shit #his obsessive hyper perfectionism is heartbreaking #he sees literally everything as his fault #every failure every mistake every accident he always looks for something he couldve done better #then increases his training to /make/ himsef better #the way he sees himself in roach and wants to help him become a better soldier like price did for him #only to immediately give him to price bc who better to turn him into a better soldier than price #there is so much characterisation in this thing and it blows my mind that it wasnt an ingame easter egg you could find and read #its an actual journal you could buy #it completely changes his dynamic with price from mentor and mentee to this godlike hero worship #and ghost finding out that soaps changed himself so much for this insane guy who almost nuked america? #that he cant see beyond his thirst for vengeance that soap would do literally anything for him #the shepherd betrayal and prices ‘you have to trust someone to be betrayed. i never did’ and you never thought to warn soap?? #the rest of the 141 you can understand but hes so callous in that scene #and since ghost and roach live through it i just know ghost would go apeshit for treating soap like hes not worth the dirt under his boots #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #talk to me ghost #09 soapghost #09 soap #09 ghost #captain mactavish #ghoap #soapghost #ghostsoap #cod mw2 #ghost cod #soap cod #captain price #we’re a team. ghost team #save post

I didn't watch Danny Phantom as a kid and I like, really don't know anything about it, but I keep seeing the occasional meta and a lot of fic of it on my dash, especially crossing over with DC/Batfam and I just have to say

You're all doing amazing. This shit is so good keep it coming. You're all so creative and passionate. Idk what's going on all the time but you guys have the coolest ideas I love you

#from reading some of yalls posts it seems like the show is maybe not quite like how you guys write about it #which is a shame bc yall are so creative the ideas are fucking captivating #if its worth watching anyway i would be open to it although i dont really watch stuff on my own initiative hardly ever #danny phantom #secondhand fandoms #its a shame i wasnt allowed to watch stuff that wasnt 'educational' as a kid i would have been OBSESSED with this premise

Knives when he sees vash

#Trigun loveblog #heres something to make you Angry #i like thwt vash gets so mad when he sees his brother ... having a brother is like having s guy walking around with the nuclear codes for #making you angry. fighting with each other ... theyre genuinely always fighting in stampede #in the manga they were best friends forever until the accident. and in the anime knives was born with 0 empathy #i like that in the manga he would spend his free time watching world war 2 videos on his ipad and wondering if they could truly coexist with #humans. like he would literally coop himself up in a closet and watch war videos and contemplate them thats why hes so curious about humans #after seeing what humans do to each other and what humans do to plants like them... he went and stood in the cryogenic storage pod and #looked out over the swathes of humans sleeping peacefully knowing that each and every one are capable of prejudice hate and violence #and he decided it wasnt worth it to save them ... not when theyd already lost so much. so im killing everyone #he really is just a little kid... that was the best option he could come up with ...

[robotpussy]

reckless drivers have the gall because why are you mad at me for crossing at a actual crossing for pedestrians and not running away because you came rushing from around the bend..... like no don't get mad at me cause you think this is fast and furious!!!!!!!! if you hit me you'll have to deal with the guilt I'm not the one to blame 🙏

#like im a certified jaywalker but i wasnt in the mood so i actually went to the crossing and the guy still wanted to #try and blame me..... like no. i just had to yell at him and carry on with my walk cause its not worth it 🤷🏾‍♀️

one time i wrote out a script for a satirical video talking about "cancel culture" and the concept of things being "problematic" and what that means and such and the bit was that thru the whole video i would be putting on clown makeup. i never filmed it bc i didnt have space or clown makeup but this is the last line of the script

(Text: [washing off clown makeup] it was this or a video essay and I took the road less travelled)

#text #this was in 2020 so i was stuck in my house going a little insane #hyperfixating on a guy who kinda sucked and when i wasnt doing that i was watching hours worth of breadtube content & reading kropotkin #while spiralling into severe debilitating moral ocd #it was a fucking time in my life

it’s so crazy how like. i KNOW that the reason i am fat and, am fat in the specific way that i am, is just that i lost the genetic lottery. i know this. i KNOW that i am always going to be fat and nothing short of a full blown eating disorder or surgery would ever change that. i know these things. and yet every few months i will cycle through the old well maybe if i did this or that or only ate this or ran ten miles and did 600 burpees every day or whatever the fuck. it is so deeply ingrained in our culture that fatness is a character flaw, a simple lack of effort and discipline.

and i KNOW, objectively, scientifically, that is bullshit. but it is still so deeply ingrained in me.

i know that i have so many more fun and interesting and important things to do than dedicate my time to making myself tiny and fuckable and miserable. i know from my own experiences and from watching people i love suffer that it is so much better to just be fat and happy. but it STILL consumes so much of my thought and time with the guilt and the shame and the self-loathing and wanting so badly to be anything else.

#and it always seems so easy for everyone else #i don’t always make the best choices but i don’t think i’m that unhealthy. it seems so much easier for everyone else #AND THATS BECAUSE IT FUCKING IS!!!! #i just drew the generic short straw. sorry bud. try again next life! #and i KNOW all of this to be true but none of it works on the voice that says #it’s just excuses you’re just lazy if you did this if you did that if you made an effort if you were Better if you had discipline if you Try #and it’s just constant daily battle of hitting that voice back with a hammer and yelling MAYBE THATS TRUE BUT ACTUALLY ITS A STUPID FUCKING #THING TO WASTE EFFORT AND ENERGY ON. I DONT WANT TO HAVE AN EATING DISORDER AGAIN IT WASNT FUN AND IT ONKY MADE ME TRY TO KILL MYSELF!! #ITS NOT WORTH IT SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!! #guy on the floor pulling his hair out tiktok jpeg #who else is feeling so normal tn

Honestly my headcanoning for The Cursing of Chateau Castle lore continues cooking in my brain like I got more for it but it's all in the microwave for now. Like I got a whole ass storyline for Pierre and Lady Irene. With how hardcore hc-ing I am bout these characters, it makes it seem like they're my OCs but no they're like-- my half-children I think? isat is the other parent of course. I got nothing else to go off of in regards to the chateau trio but the small crumbs and a dream.

#aria rants #like bout pierre's home life being The Worst ever. and like the internal monologue he'd have after sacrificing their castle #imagine going through all that ordeal. joining the supposed ''heroes' party'' and then betraying The Hero aka josephandre #all for your own family to recognize you as being worthy of being a part of the family. so that you can be recognized as a noble #but in the end it wasnt enough. he wasnt happy. in the end pierre was happiest with josephandre and the others so he #went around. turned their back on the ppl he has spent majority of their life proving their own worth to go back and save #the first genuine friend he ever had in ages and the cost of that being the very castle they wanted to be a part of #so in the end. he never got to actually be called ''lord'' he didnt have a place in the family. he lost the castle #but thats fine anyway cuz he found a home with josephandre and the others BUT THEN!!! he apparently got into a near-death #experience like how horrible is that??? to have your title stripped away from you from birth and then abandon the #one chance and opportunity to have that title for the sake of saving your friend and realizing that it'd be better to just be #with them instead but before that moment can even sink in well enough-- YOU'RE NOW ON THE EDGE OF DEATH! #yea pierre is turning out to be my fave character from like-- that mentions of them betraying the party and then #sacrificing their own castle to save josephandre and then the fate of them possibly dying near the end of the series #like that guy went THROUGH IT. not as much as josephandre but he really did just went through it and im like-- out here #using my brain power to the maximum in filling in the blanks cuz i got attached to 3 characters with only a name and #some information. i got some more in regards to lady irene and josephandre too btw like-- this is for you mirabelle #im spreading the cursing of chateau castle propaganda as best as i can with the crumbs im given

what are your weird hyper fixations that felt like a fever dream? mines the history of rollercoasters, decorating hamster cages (i didn't have a hamster), and ikea furniture

#idk why i did all that #i was too afraid to leave my house yet i wanted to drop all my lifes savings to go visit the rollercoasters #i wasnt even that bothered about riding them bc i dont like queueing #just wanted to see them #i had so many ikea furniture dimensions memorised and now i can spot when literally anything is from ikea a mile off #as for the hamster cages.... idk WHAT was going on #i knew about absolutely everything to keep those little guys happy #i watched DAYS worth of hamster cage videos #z0mbie thoughts
