Last night my wife and I saw Fortune Feimster!
Seattle was buzzing with life all around us as we stood in line for Fortunes show. She is my absolute favorite comic so needless to say, I was beyond excited to be there for a live taping of her new Netflix special!
We arrived two houser early and I'm so thankful we did, even though it was a sold out show the line of people went all the way down the block. One we scanned our tickets we headed straight to the merch. We were the first people there😳. If you have seen Fortune on Netflix you'll remember there was a joke in a previous standup special where she talks about her wife and the women her wife had dated in the past and how butch she was compared to them. So when I saw she had a shirt that said I'm Butch I didn't even ask Moss if she wanted one, I just ordered.
Goodies in hand we headed up to our nose bleed seats, honestly I didn't even care I was just so excited to be there. Those flights of stairs nearly killed me though. But once at the top we snagged some seats in the middle and prepared to get comfy. Funny laughs to begin in T minus 60 minutes.
Which, damn that's a long time in seats that are super plastic and not built for the hips Goddess and good food has graced me with. But the building is absolutely stunning. And there's so many lesbians! It felt so good to be around other women like us.
Theres these states that are perched high above within the top dome and they each are holding different things. They're so beautiful, I just wanted to take them home. Don't you think they'd look great in a Goddess garden?
So we're sitting there for maybe twenty minutes when some group of people came and sat down beside us. I'm not a fan, and neither is my wife, of large crowds. But I knew that it was a sold out show so I went in accepting that there would be large amounts of people everywhere. However, one of the ladies that was behind us had a laugh that I could not sit in front of for an entire show so I whispered to my wife that we needed to move.
Stick with me here. I know this is getting long.
So we go up as high as we can, there's no seats behind us. This guy starts walking around the balcony area asking if there's any party of 1 and if so it can mean the difference between sitting up here and much closer. I was so jealous! You know those stories where they're taping and they have to fill the seats so some jo shmo gets pulled to go sit down in the front. He leaves and we get settled in, talking about how excited we are.
Dude is back! "I need parties of 3." He's so far away but coming closer. I can feel the adrenaline corsing through my veins. He's walking higher through the seats now, "any parties of 2?" I shot my hand up but he didn't see me and selected someone else. Utterly destroyed.
But he's still walking closer!
"Parties of two?" We lock eyes and I hold up two fingers. "Meet me in the lobby."
I scream whisper to Moss, "let's go!" And I gather everything up and race down the steps, nearly falling. We get down to the lobby, my wife also tripping and rolling her ankle. But like the 300 she trudged on.
We get down into the lobby and a door is opened for us and ya'll I can see the stage! We start walking down the isle to be filtered into seats and at one point I pass by the stage and touch it. Looking up I can't even see the seats we once inhabited, it's sureal.
We sat just behind the cameras that were filming but off to the side so we still had great viewing. The seats were so much bigger than up in the nose bleeds and plush too! The show was fantastic, I can't wait to rewatch it when it comes out.

Daniel was in Sydney for DR3 wines (via IG stories and Media-Mode.com)
Ricciardo said his love of wine was a family affair, starting with his grandparents making their own drink with limited success.
“This is something that puts a smile on my father's face because he grew up with an interest and passion for wine,” said Ricciardo.“His parents made wine in their garage, but I used to call it vinegar.“Look, I'm new to this, and I don't expect to know everything, but they've allowed me to pursue the experience I'm looking for.”
“We make sure no one calls it vinegar.” (x)

I joke a lot about liking things out of spite but like. Speaking as a pretty big contrarian you can't actually do this in earnest before shriveling up and dying inside. Spite is a great motivator to check out things that seem unfairly maligned, but sometimes you'll find you still don't like it (or, conversely, that people you cannot stand still like the same things you do). Once you start letting spite actually guide you and dictate what you want instead of your own personality (which, by doing this, you are slowly dissolving into a vat of bile), you will be miserable in every sense of the word. They call it cutting off your nose to spite your face for a reason.

i love makoto so much but fanon does her so much better (the good parts of the fandom) because in the game her character is so lack luster. they butchered her confidant it is so borning and not even about her. they made her a cop. A COP. they pushed this "canon waifu" role onto her (before sumire came along and did it Even Worse). and it SUCKS because SHE IS SO MUCH MORE!!! SHE IS SO MUCH BETTER!!!! SHE COULD'VE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER!!! the way i feel about canon makoto is the same way i feel about the canon ryuji events post komoshida where he's horribly mistreated and used purely as comic relief: i ignore them <3 my game now <3 never happened <3 my ocs <3
You are so right. I generally apply this to all characters in p5 bc the game does such a shit job of staying consistent with character arcs and personalities. Theres a desperate need to throw in perverse jokes at the expense of female characters and a need to show that the police (as a whole) are reliable people who are not influenced by things like money and power; only the BAD cops do that. Not to mention this obvious fatphobia and homophobia but i feel likes thats a given.
But back to Makoto. Shes a victim of bad writing just like everyone else. Ryuji during the kamoshida arc was fighting with self loathing and genuine anxiety, and aside from the like. One comment on Panthers outfit in the metaverse, hes more than well behaved. All of that is shelved as soon as Kamoshida is gone and replaced with him being weird comic relief (and the focus of alot of sexual jokes that were nonexistent in the beginning of the game). Anns arc about self love and empowerment is completely dropped as soon as the nasty bad guy is put away (so that its good to be weird about her w the Good Guys). Makoto loses her a chunk of her personality to be the mature waifu which is INSANE to me bc shes like. Not okay or normal at all 😭😭😭 she THINKS shes responsible and so does everyone else on her team, but its an act! She doesnt know shit! And she doesnt know that she doesnt know shit bc shes respectful and adults dont care about anything as long as u respect them!
Its very telling that for literally every single thief (and goro), you can see the exact moment the writers gave up on adding anything of worth to their characters outside of the social links. Its like they didnt know what to even do w the characters at their disposal after their main arcs were complete. No mention of friends hanging out without you, no mention of having group hangouts. Everyone is treated as a core, important member of the friend group DURING their arc, but outside of it, they are acquaintances at best. Theres nothing in the game that convinces you that these guys are legitimately friends who care for each other and do Friend Things. And i describe it like that bc there IS a game that treats them all as friends, and its strikers! Strikers/Scramble genuinely feels like the game p5 wanted to be; a road trip w your team where they stay up at night talking to each other and hanging out and doing things together that dont necessarily include you, the player. Its refreshing and lovely but it sucks that u get that kind of attention to detail in a ‘spinoff’ title
