absolutely in shock and awe at how all three of the bad boys' curses went off and remained unbroken in one episode. jimmy's canary curse, grian's 'kills the person he cares most about' curse (as he was the person to suggest that jimmy should push off the tnt minecart; also killed jimmy like three times), and joel's end-game madness curse. like we were all so hopeful for some reason that THIS would be the season where it all ends but no. business as usual. jimmy's dead, grian's sad, and joel is mad. and also dead.
i kinda just want someone to write a fanfic about the gaang reacting to the live action, if you want to make it canonesque like, doing it like it was another play like the one at ember island,,,imagine
aang getting angry because he didn't get to kiss katara at the cave and instead they make her more interested in jet and he begins saying things like I BET IF YOU HAD BEEN WITH HIM IN THE CAVE YOU WOULD'VE KISSED HIM. katara angry at her characterization like WHY DON'T I SPEAK UP??? I WOULD'VE THROWN HANDS and to sokka WHY DID THEY MAKE YOU ACT LIKE THE MORE MATURE ONE BETWEEN US, I HAD TO WASH YOUR SOCKS BACK AT THE VILLAGE. everyone absolutely confused at the fact yue was a spirit fox. Zuko criticizing himself ozai and azula like wth and why do i have drawings of the avatars and a journal about them, they make me look so obsessed, and sokka like, actually, i think that was spot on. suki and sokka cringing at the scene where she stared at him shirtless and him getting angry because they didn't make him dress up like a girl
i know people were gossiping like crazy about jackie and shauna in that school. jeff hundred per cent was the third wheel and freshman probs got so shocked when they found out he was the boyfriend.
the pride night thing is upsetting on a fan level obvi. but it makes me most sad to think about like. how many guys now and in the past just... never came out and are never going to. because they know that this league, from the top down, is not a welcoming space for them. how many players are ashamed and scared and have had to make the choice to hide or fully ignore their feelings so they can keep doing the thing they love to do without having to worry about being alienated (or worse) by their teammates. how many KIDS are in juniors with dreams of playing in the NHL knowing that that's a choice they'll have to make too, and that if they do choose to come out they'll be exposing themselves to backlash not just from media and fans but from their own teammates and coaches. and this just keeps getting reinforced over and over! the tiny little bits of progress we see immediately get overshadowed by people being dicks! fuck man!
1st playthrough: oh, come on mysterious ex-partner guy, just loosen up a little, just talk to me. kim is way cooler than you btw.
2nd playthrough: oh my god, jean, it's so good to see you! I love talking to you! You're the coolest guy ever! I'd love having you as my partner, please just talkt to me please, I'm so sorry, I love you! I love you! please forgive me, jean!!!
OM devs were like "We're going to keep the first game running, so that new players coming from NB can play the game too!"
Then also secretly were like "We're going to remove some events though, and change up how you can get rewards, which are more difficult to get now, even if you pay to win. As well change/edit older card stories so you can't experience the original options and all. Etc..."
【High School Affiliated to Loveland University Second Year (Section 1) Semester Schedule - Tuesday】
✄┈┈┈┈┈┈
[MATH]:
Beginning with the morning self-study session, Old Gao naturally walks into the classroom, naturally hands out an impromptu quiz, and naturally starts grading the papers.
“Where’s Empress Dowager Hu? Has Old Gao ‘usurped the throne’?”
Victor remains as immovable as a mountain. After coming up with a tentative answer to the questions in his heart, he immediately takes out the exercise books for the other subjects–– realizing that if he doesn’t start now, he won’t have any opportunity to write throughout the day.
“Our Vic seems to be working hard. He’s even expanding into other subjects in the morning math study session.”
Old Gao unfolds the exam papers with a bright smile, “Children, your homeroom teacher is on leave today, so you’re all mine.”
“And of course, the evening self-study session also belongs to me.”
—
[MATH]:
Observing Old Gao’s extraordinarily casual explanation of the complex question and his naturally upturned lips, Victor very cautiously and deliberately marks this question—
There’s an 80% chance it will appear in the end-of-month exam.

[SPORTS]:
Strange Tales of Loveland High School Five (V):
Upon the completion of the weekly one-kilometer fitness test, the running track would give rise to peculiar species contorted in various poses.
Pale and gasping for air, they would be in desperate need of water. Yet, among them would be rare individuals with handsome and exquisite appearances who would continue to carry themselves with grace.
“Whew, still alive.”
The next second, Victor’s face turns slightly pale. He notices the PE teacher bringing out the sit-and-reach apparatus.
—
[PHYSICS]:
After enduring an exceptionally dreadful “knowledge oppression,” Victor decides to broadcast some relaxing content during today’s lunchtime radio session.
In harmony with the melodious Symphony No. 41 in C Major, he begins reading excerpts from the Homeric epics.
—
[CHEMISTRY]:
“A and B might have an innate tendency to react when brought together, although the time for their reaction differs. C and D will never yield any results no matter how long they’re together, and E needs to be catalyzed to have any connection with F.
Many things in the world are like this, and in reality, human connections follow the same principle. You require a significant amount of destiny to have that serendipity with someone.”
Hearing the teacher say this, Victor’s mind is filled with a distant silhouette.
—
[CHINESE]:
“Sir Vic, do you really think the world will end in 2012?”
“What do you think the apocalypse would look like?”
Victor doesn’t say anything. He simply reaches into his desk and takes out a math book in a very natural manner.
Amidst a chorus of agonized groans, that man walks in once again.
If the apocalypse were to happen, it would probably be a day filled with eight consecutive math classes.
—
[ENGLISH]:
A comforting listening test.
Brother Ying, in a rare feat, has managed to secure the computer lab, so he assigns something practical for everyone to do.
—
[BIOLOGY]:
The power that erupts from silence should not be underestimated.
— After the teacher’s first burst of anger, the biology class has a 100% attendance rate.
this is gonna sound so backhanded but after 3 letdowns in a row from pokemon (followed by a game which isnt terrible but i dislike because of how much it fucked up the plot of sm), then a game that i genuinely really love and want more in the style of and largely because of how it deviates from the main series, im genuinely so shocked that i love scarlet and violet as much as i do. like when i was going through that tutorial i was just cautious and waiting for the other show to drop and be bored at best, but like, graphic glitches aside, it never came. it stayed really fun and charming
klay speaks with so much vulnerability and care it really saddens me when people liken him to a selfish egotistical guy who only cares about himself lol it's actually crazy. like say whatever you want about his game but to just blatantly lie and not care to listen to anything he actually has to say??? idk especially from fans and local commentary like this dude has been on your team since the beginning of this dynasty, has given everything-- his whole career, two injuries up for this team. and you still don't know where his heart lies or who he is?
all this talk about how he only cares about money when time and time again he's only shown the care and love he has for the team, his teammates, and even just the bay area in general and building a home there and in the organisation.
