#I'm watching nationals now

[wallbeatjournal]

can i tell you all about my conspiracy theory that roberto chose to do heathers as the season 3 riverdale musical specifically to SEO-bomb and suppress out of google-documented existence that horrible right-wing heathers 2018 miniseries that was developed as probably the most blatantly contemptuous cash-grab riverdale rip-off of all time so far

heathers the edgy tv reboot was essentially the evil (straight, boomer-oriented) version of riverdale that tvland funded. it came out in 2018, was hated by everyone and undoubtedly flooded the riverdale media team's google alerts during its whole short and notorious run

and nowdays. well. guess how many qualifiers you have to add to your google search to find reviews of that horrible 2018 heathers reboot where all the minorities were the real bullies because they could cancel people. it's a lot of qualifiers if you don't want to just see chapter fifty-one: big fun

#watching it now with katie bc i can't stand the thought of watching something i have to try to like that isn't riverdale #it's so terrible #anyway. we shouldn't lose this contextual riverdale lore #it's so relevant now when we are once again reminded about roberto's pettiness and interest in schemes and long games and contrivances #it's amazing that someone could try to make riverdale and notice so many details about its style but miss the mark so so badly #like it's so bad and so hateful. the hatefulness really can't be understated this show is a meme about librul snowflakes #and it has a character who is such a jughead knockoff but the kind of jughead knockoff your worst older relative would design #would love to get the jughead nation's takes on 4chan guy weird weirdo JD from heathers (2018) tbh. i'm obsessed with how much he bothers m

i want to strangle yul, i want to see him get trampled in every challenge, i want to watch the joy leave his eyes as he gets eliminated-

but holy shit did he and riya carry the song.

#tbh now that i watch em back #they all did kinda well #only one i'm iffy about is magenta team's song #just because as an aromantic hearing people sing/talk about how much they hate their loved ones is... ourhghg #just break up bro #just block them bro #disventure camp #disventure camp all stars #dcas #campamento desventura #odd nation cartoons

#thg #the hunger games #hunger games #thg incorrect quotes #hee hee hoo hoo let's see what the eurovision and thg overlap is #peeta mellark #katniss everdeen #he's trying to have fun. she's wondering what master strategy he's on now. #can i make it any more obvious? #should i esc tag this??? #for reference: i'm making fun of genuinely deeply terrible singing not anyone's accent #like. type 'solo eurovision 2023 national final' into youtube and you will see what i mean #go to the national final performance from march-ish??? #then watch gladiator from the same show to cleanse yourself #then get mad because solo went to eurovision instead of gladiator thanks to - say it with me - jury corruption!!!! #on my sugar queue

i wish i could get people from outside the uk to understand how weird watching hockey in this country is

#like. wdym it's easier to watch the nhl here than our own fucking leagues #the eihl has no broadcast deal right now ! the only way to watch at home is to pay £15 for each individual game's broadcast (made by the #team) (that is also roughly the price of a ticket to a game) #also how viaplay works in terms of broadcasting nhl games is. interesting #they don't do their own broadcasts (at least for the uk) so they just rip a random north american one to stream #which is why i pray they show the bally sports det broadcast when i'm gonna watch a wings game #(if they're playing in canada i will accept one of their national broadcasts. anything else i huff nd puff. and still watch the damn thing) #oh and like no piracy sites have any eihl streams. so either you pay or miss out (if i'm wrong someone plz tell me i want to be wrong here)

Happy Birthday! Can I get some Kana/Hatori from Fruits Basket? If not, do whatever!!

When everything settles, when no one is going to jail but Ian, and they've at least contacted the appropriate authorities about the treasure residing beneath the church, Patrick takes his son aside and says, "I hope you don't think - not that she's not lovely, of course - but what I said, before, you didn't take it the wrong way, did you?"

What do you have? his own voice echoes in his mind. Him?

Ben blinks. They're still covered in dust and oil and sawdust and maybe this could wait, except it really can’t. “Well, Dad, I don’t know why you’d think I would ever take anything you say the wrong way.”

What a brat. “Riley’s a good kid, I mean. Man. A good man. I didn’t mean – I just meant that I wanted you to have something steady, and not the two of you galivanting across the globe chasing fairytales.”

“Don’t worry about Riley,” Ben laughs, clapping him on the shoulder. “I’m sure he didn’t take it personally.”

It wasn’t Riley who he was worried about, but now he’s wondering if it should be.

~

Weeks turn into months so quickly when there’s so much history to catalogue and examine and distribute.

Patrick likes Abigail. She’s a fantastic girl. Sweet, funny, whip smart.

She reminds him of Ben’s mother. And Ben has always been a little bit too much like him, no matter how hard they both try to deny it.

But his son has done what he couldn’t, had found the treasure their family had spent generations looking for. Maybe he can do this too.

Still.

Abigail had met his son at his best, up to his neck in the exact type of trouble he knew how to get out of. Often, maintenance is more work than performance.

~

Riley is sitting at his kitchen table, going over all their schedules while Ben and Abigail are going over the Egyptian catalogue in the living room.

Patrick puts a cup of coffee next to his elbow and says, “Ben doesn’t have much luck with friends.”

“Thanks,” he says, picking up the mug. He pauses with it almost to his lips, his brain catching up with Patrick’s words. He puts the coffee back down and turns towards him. “What?”

“Or people, in general,” he continues, then forces a smile. “He gets that my side of the family, probably.”

Emily knows where to hit where it hurts most, but she’s better at pretending to be normal than he is. Ben is the best of them, but some days he’s the worst of them too.

“Ben has friends,” Riley protests, then his mouth falls into a frown.

Discovering the lost treasure would be the perfect time for old friends to come out of the woodwork. Riley and Abigail screen their calls now.

Ben doesn’t have to.

“He can be a little – impulsive,” Patrick says, “when something – he doesn’t always think things through, and makes decisions without thinking of the consequences, or if the outcome is worth the sacrifice.”

Riley is unphased. “I know,” he says, “I know Ben, Mr. Gates.”

“I know you do,” he says quietly.

For some reason, that’s what tips him off, and red flushes Riley’s cheeks. He looks back down at his laptop. “It’s – it is what it is. It’s fine.” He glances up again, lips painfully pulled into a lopsided grin. “I don’t have the best luck with people either.”

Patrick squeezes his shoulder but doesn’t dispute it.

Falling in love with a Gates man is quite unlucky, after all.

#sorry i literally haven't seen fb since i was in middle school #also sorry i've been missing i've been very busy having the plague #well i still have it but now we're in sniffly territory #anyway national treasure is one of the movies i watch when i'm sick #so now we all get to suffer #prompt answers #prompts are closed #asks #anon #national treasure

I can’t believe he’s ours (Jack Hughes)

honestly it's so so exciting, it's been such a pleasure seeing him grow into his game and into the player he's become, you always knew he was gonna be an amazing dynamic player but he's exceeded his own expectations and it's just. fun. devils hockey is good and fun

#watching like. 2020-21 jack hughes night in night out and looking at him now #that's my baby and i'm so proud etc #so many national media guys talk about how no one saw this coming and he's suddenly so good and #it's not sudden! he's always shown the ability to do this! #y'all just weren't paying attention because you didn't give two shits about the devils #he's been growing constantly and exponentially since his rookie season #and he's gonna continue to grow and i can't wait to see that #asks #zaynsbehen

the NORMAL book to read in a tree on campus at my very professional adult job is the scientific history book, but the one that WILL get me the look of absolute befuddlement and mild consternation I crave from my supervisor is the gnostic gospels, so here we are

#jk I will probably put the actual fuckin library book I still have to finish in my backpack like the smart cookie I am #I have had at least one of my library books for over a year. and at this point it's just a point of spite that I will finish it. #tbh I may return that one cuz it's just a media studies book on time travel in tv and film and I'm like. what are you gonna tell me. #what are you going to impart to me that I don't already know. #I've got a media degree and have watched every piece of media referenced in the book. what do you have to tell me. #however. derrida on time is like. I NEED TO GET THROUGH THAT BOOK. FUCK. for my soul #DON'T @ me we've known I'm insane in this particular way. if you didn't idk what to tell you okay. #I have to say I've done very well at not buying books. I have bought One all year. #it helps that I haven't gone anywhere. but. #I should go to the used bookstore next to campus tho. cuz I wanna. 'should' I say lmfao. #it's as a treat!!! also I don't think I perused their poetry section last time I was there. #NOT that I don't have like three poetry anthologies to read on my shelf right now. fuck. #hmm maybe I should actually bring the norton native nations poetry anthology instead. #got that one. we want it all (transpoetics). and a book of luminous things. #ugggggh I have so much reading to do. #jesus CHRIST I have a to do list

i think the post office is fucking with me. 😒 they told me smth was coming on wednesday but it made it from <neighbouring state of origin> to <nearest distribution annex> on sunday so i knew for a fact that it would make it from <nearest annex> to <local post office> today and then be out for delivery tomorrow.

but apparently all that happened today was at about noon it left the annex for 30 minutes then returned??? so yeah, they were right. 😒 fucking wednesday.. would hate for it to come in ahead of schedule.

#god can you imagine if they were allowed to function properly as a national postal service #how neat would that be #adam talks too much #fedex & their dodgy labour practices got me fucked up bc i just watched something go from the great lakes to the gulf coast in like 3 days #now i'm supposed to believe it takes 6 days to make it 10 hours away? how can i

Your aftercare is for shit, Vegas. There's about a million different things going on with Pete in these heartbreaking pre-escape scenes, but none of it is helped by the worst case of subdrop ever. Just the thought of what’s going on in his head at this point has me mentally on my hands and knees, scrabbling around to try to pick pieces of him off the floor. (I’m trying to decide if i trust BOC to have made the subdrop factor purposeful and not just something that can serendipitously be read into Pete’s responses and reactions as one of the variables. How well did they do their homework on this front?)

And it’s also not helping my poor tender heart, VEGAS, to realize that you probably have nowhere near the emotional acuity you need to even begin addressing Pete's needs in these moments not only because you're as poorly socialized as it's possible to be and still function, but also because this is probably the first time in your miserable life you've actually had sex with someone you give half a fuck about, so you have zero practice + no knowledge that's not purely theoretical.

I’ve got to hand it to you - you are the most brilliant mixture of pathetic motherfucker and terrible little man I’ve watched in a long time, and I’d say you were my FAVORITE, but unfortunately for you, you’re standing next to Pete, my BEST BELOVED, so, sry, looks like second place AGAIN. I'd also say you need to be horsewhipped for allowing the whiplash turnaround from Pete’s brilliant sunshine smile that you got back in the afterglow, in Ep 12, to this shitshow, but then, once again, I feel too much like Kun, and I am, once again, left to grit my teeth and grimly repeat to myself that stupid babies need the most love.

Also, once again, I cannot believe the game that Bible and Build brought to this episode. They bring me to my knees with their fearlessness playing out this arc.

I'm just going to be over here in the corner, clutching my own face in the most agonized facepalm EVER.

#this scene is A LOT #and with my life right now #i seriously doubt i'm going to have time to excavate all this the way it deserves before next ep #this is probably a re-watch situation #(and re-watch is pretty much 100 percent certain as long as boc doesn't fuck something up bad) #but meanwhile #here #have halfway a shitpost that's actually NOT #vegas theerapanyakul #pete phongsakorn #MY BELOVEDS #bible wichipas #build jakapan #ALSO MY BELOVEDS #vegaspete #biblebuild #kinnporsche #liveblogging ep 13 i guess #at least a little bit #how we feeling vegaspete nation?

I've gone through a character arc today. I'm... better(?) now

#speculation nation #animal death ment/ #turns out shoving all my grief down and refusing to process it in fear of experiencing negative emotions is detrimental to me #i just went through all my pictures of cassy. experienced again what a loverboy he was... #cried again. twice. miserable experience honestly. i dont know how people do this more than a few times a year. #i have a few videos of him. including him watching a bird video on my computer. #unfortunately i never did capture his meow. which breaks my heart but there's nothing i can do about it now. #i'll just have to hold that sound in my memory. his obnoxious 'mraaaa' that could get comically long when he was begging for food #it hurts. but i'm allowed to remember that i loved him. i'm allowed to remember what he was to me. #an obnoxiously bullheaded cat that was strangely skittish at the same time. #it was annoying at the time but i treasure the memory of when he got out of my apartment unit #and i went chasing him up and down the stairs of the central area several times yelling 'cassy get BACK here!' #as he loudly did his 'MRAAAA' the whole time as he ran from me #my baby boy. tally loved him too. it hurts my heart that i cant communicate to her what happened. #no wonder she hates june bug so much. her friend disappeared & then a few weeks later theres This weird new cat #hopefully in time she can be friends with june bug too. there was a solid month or two where she haaaated cassy lmao #before a switch was flipped and she was grooming him every time he sat in front of her. #cassy may have lived for too short of a time. but he was very very loved. and i can see that in the records of him. #he was purring for me in the end. my sweet loverboy... #... i was going to try writing before work today but it seems like it's a grief processing day. #oh well. it's probably better for me overall. #negative/ #sure. i guess.
