thank you so much, genuinely. i don’t even know how to accept this properly to show my level of appreciation. this means so much to me.

no but what was that finale… i miss longer shows so much… give us 22 episodes per season again!!! give us more time for character growth and relationship development and bring back fun filler episodes!!!! because what was this finale 😭

#the sex lives of college girls #joely watches things #.txt #since this is getting some notes (this is a lot of engagement on a post for me as i’m newly returned to tumblr and have 20 followers lmao) #i don’t dislike any of the storylines necessarily but GOD they rushed through them #i swear tatum and leighton were together for 1.5 episodes max before they broke up #and the alicia plot line felt so rushed too - with leighton saying ‘these are my friends’ after not seeing them for MONTHS? #kimberly and jackson barely got time to get past their one argument and then she’s suddenly crushing on canaan #who also wants her??? which came out of nowhere for me #and whitney and the white boy (forgot his name sry) were cute but that also went so fast lol #i wanted her and canaan back together tbqh but like it’s fine that they didn’t #but why did they have to make it a love triangle?! so unnecessary #AND BELA?!?! has been selfish and awful all season #i loved her with eric - i was rooting for them sm #then she suddenly realises how awful she’s been and immediately decides she has to fix it - instant growth ?! #anyway she needs therapy - not to change schools #just… a mess #please give us longer shows again @ tv networks #slocg spoilers

You have no idea how happy I am to see that other people like you don't like blades 2 as well. Like yes it was decent, but on the same level as book 1 in the LEAST.

And I agree, book 3 seems like an excuse to get fans off of their back about the writing. The finale felt extremely disappointing, compared to the thrill you could feel in book 1 end

Yeah, I’m still gonna play book 3 and (foolishly) hope that it’ll be better. But those hopes aren’t too high because book 2 was not a good set up for book 3 at all in my opinion. There’s so much going on. I don’t like that Valax is a part of our friend group now. However, the group dynamics were off long before that if I’m being real. Mal’s route was ruined for me.

When I was going through and deleting my screenshots the other day, I reread the “You slept through it scene” and just felt a renewed sense of hurt and anger at him and really all of our friends. Mal caught a lot of heat from me specifically because he’s my LI and the one who said such an awful thing. But honestly, the rest of the group essentially agreed with him by expanding on what he said (Imtura and Nia) or not saying anything at all (Tyril) and only getting on one accord to exclude MC.

And then on top of all of that, there are quite a few holes that really should be patched up. The plot was a mess for the majority of the story. Tbh it was almost giving Endless Summer because they were locking important information behind diamond scenes and in the lore tablets.

So all this to say that at this point in time, I no longer have faith that PB can handle complex storytelling. Their parent company and higher ups (unsurprisingly) only care about money. And the writers themselves are too lazy and too biased. Does that mean they can no longer write enjoyable stories? No, of course not. But I do think they need to rein it in and be a bit more realistic about what they can handle right now because there’s nothing wrong with a simpler book/plot that’s aware of what it’s trying to accomplish. And it’s clear that they were far too ambitious with Blades 2

#choices bolas #choices blades #blades of light and shadow #choices stories you play #playchoices #if book 3 is as disappointing as or worse than book 2 I’m just gonna ignore them and only consider book 1 canon #and then just make up my own headcanon for what happened after lol #I think i and quite a few other people have been operating off of the notion that PB could tell great complex stories #but they weren’t because cheap smut is what sells #but now I can’t even believe that anymore #they just don’t have the range #and maybe I should’ve come to this conclusion sooner but 🤷🏽‍♀️ #and back to the Mal thing for a second I’m being so serious when I say rereading that scene broke my heart all over again #when I first read it my initial reaction was anger so I couldn’t even really focus on anything immediately after that #but upon rereading my heart just sunk for MC #bc if the writers did one thing well it was making the rift between MC and the rest of the group palpable #and it was also very obvious that she was hurt by that and ended up internalizing Mal’s statement/the group’s sentiments on that year #‘Just a little blood No scars Nothing I was asleep for all of it My body works fine’ #so I’ll just close out by saying enjoying the book was a challenge for me #and it shouldn’t have been because I *wanted* to enjoy it #book 1 was so good and it getting greenlit for a book 2 was such an unexpected surprise #plus we waited so long for it but it just did not meet expectations #choices #choices app #choices ask

my boss: write an 800-1000 word piece on the truman show’s 25th anniversary

me: *currently 5000 words into dissecting the history of a subgenre i coined mid-article*

#yes it’s about the truman show. yes it’s about gaslight media which flourished from 2003-2005 had a failed revival in 2014-2015 and is has #been coming back with a vengeance the past few years due to our widespread fascination with gaslighting as a concept and newfound cultural #familiarity with it in day to day life allowing us to take comfort even from shows using machinations of manipulation as their entire format #in a way we couldn’t in the early 2000s when said format was almost solely used for the humiliation of unsuspecting citizens #now though we’ve come to see it as a bad but almost ubiquitous aspect of life so we find more comfort in witnessing it occur in a ‘positive’ #way than not witnessing it occur at all because we automatically assume it is anyways and we’re the targets #sorry if this didn’t make sense. it does if you’re me #aka if you spent the entire day frantically researching every reality tv hoax to ever air with rabid fascination #and also the truman show. also that #i don’t understand how people in theory heavy fields are able to suddenly shift to write pithy simple cultural commentary on slate #how do you pivot like that. how do you not say all the things you want to say #like…. maybe i am not cut out for this. maybe i’m only cut out for academia. except also FUCK that i don’t want to be a professor #in other words: i am fucked #why can’t i just write giant analyses of everything and get money for them. wdym that’s not how the world works #lol not like i’m getting money for this either. getting paid in experience baby #(read: i am incredibly broke and in desperate search for a second job. fuuuuuck unpaid labor i love capitalism love it)

[autisticlancemcclain]

Jackie, you haven't published a fic since the 4th. Are you ok?

i am so sorry everyone 💀💀 idk how many of y’all were here when i was originally writing eighteen (crazy), but what essentially happened was that i didn’t get a full fic finished on lance’s bday, so i tried to update every day to get it finished as quickly as possible while still being good, and i wouldn’t let myself post anything else or think about anything else really, and at one point i was getting dms and asks from friends and moots that were like Hey Bitch What The Fuck Are You Doing To Yourself and i was like yeah wait hold on wtf am i doing?? so i took a break from the fic and the stress went away pretty much immediately.

now. since i don’t learn from my mistakes, i did the exact same thing basically with the time loop fic, only this time i pushed myself farther AND i feel bad as hell because i said i would finish it for once 😭😭 unfortunately that fic compacted with the fact that it is march and i struggle in march freaked me out so bad that felt like i was going to explode so i ditched tumblr for a bit. i needed to Take A Breather so i dipped.

anyways i’m sorry for freaking you guys out, i def should have posted something. that’s on me. i promise i’m fine and i’m sorry to say that i will be pausing the time loop fic for a bit. but on the bright side, i’m gonna have a different fic for tonight!! i waited to come back until i came up w something bc i didn’t want to come back empty handed :))

#no one asked but like also it’s been a Time 💀 #finals are coming and my roommates broke the lease so i have to move out and i hate moving and also i can’t accept the job i was offered bc #i’m moving so that’s stressing me out and idk if i’m going to get a job this summer and not only do i need a job but also i’ll be going home #this summer and my parents are not cool with unemployment so i don’t have an option lol and also my mom has been trying to get me to switch #my degree from an honours ba to a regular ba bc it will be cheaper and shave off a year and it makes sense but i don’t want to do that and #idk how the hell to say that and unfortunately since i’ve been living on my own this semester my anxiety is at an all time high and #generally just like ninety things hit me at once lol. so i had to drop writint for a bit #but i’m back!! so all is well #personal #ask

Don’t wanna be ‘friends’ (using this term extremely loosely) with this one girl i’m in the same cohort/course with…her belief system + the way she perceives other people and the world is so…i cannot think of a better word so: SHUDDERING. but she’s friends with my circle of cohort/friends so she’ll always be in my circle…?

#she cheated with her ex when her ex already had a new girlfriend and she didn’t feel any remorse at all #she justified her cheating by saying sex is just sex w/her ex & that she wanted her ex’s gf (which she hasn’t even met or known) to feel the #(same things she did hurt; betrayed; cheated on) and i’m like. you’re a fucking cheater? that’s so horrible for you to do? #you don’t even know this girl? she came to be with ur ex in an appropriate way? wdym she deserves to be cheated on because you did… #BY ANOTHER MAN? not even this specific ex? #literally so insane. and she’s like: im going to therapy blah blah blah but clearly you lack the respect and consciousness #me and my friend who listened to her said that she should confess that they cheated with each other to the poor girl but she’s like… #‘not my business’ uhm the fuck it is? you were a third party. and saying that the boy should be the one confessing…uhm WHY NOT U BOTH? #and their relationship (ex and girl) CONTINUED even after the fact and they broke up only recently (early march) and idk if the girl knew #like. truly. i’ve never met someone so incredibly…vile? i guess? what’s a better word for it 😭 #and what’s also so inappropriate about her is that she has like a bf and she keeps droning on about her ex like rent free in her mind #keeps flirting w other men; looking at them and saying she has crushes and all that and want to make a move. like. YOU HAVE A BF? #i don’t wanna be near someone like that. and what’s unfortunate is my close friend is close with her so i’m a ‘friend’ BY association #and that friend of mine also can’t disentangle herself from her bec she’s her first ever friend in uni lmao. so there’s sentimentality there #& we talked abt this w each other; how disappointing it was for her to be like that. and how my friend feels she’s complacent in being okay #with cheating (but she’s not) and i’m like…ugh. #probably one of the worst people i’ve ever met i’m so sorry to say that genuinely. when i’m with her in a grp (i NEVER hang out w her alone) #i feel like my principles r being hijacked and violated and being engulfed by something i’ve kept myself away from lol

Late night parasocializing on main:

I’m not saying these situations are the same AT ALL and I know I don’t know these people AT ALL, but the Joe/Taylor situation reminds me of two friends in my work friend group who we all watched crush on each other, start dating, become a couple, etc. To the point that they became a Unit and were together for years. Then they broke up and went their separate ways (something something how evergreen our group of friends don’t think we’ll say that word again) and there was a lot of hurt and bitterness and resentment there and we all went from thinking, “obviously they are going to be a couple they’re perfect for one another,” to “wow they’re such different people I can’t imagine them being together in the first place they have zero in common” to now close to a decade later legit forgetting they ever dated because it feels like soooooo long ago and their orbits would just never cross ever again. Like, not only would they clearly never date as the people they are now, they wouldn’t even give each other a second glance. (And this is a guy who once walked around with heart eyes whenever she was around and a girl who thought he hung the moon.)

And like, a year ago we as fans were all sad for Taylor because by all accounts she’d found her person and were hard pressed to picture her with someone else who’d get her as much as he did, and now looking at it from above the trees (ahem) I can’t even ever picture them together because they just seem sooooooo different (in lifestyle, temperament, priorities, personalities, etc.) And while admittedly I could not picture her at all with Travis when the rumours first started about them dating, seeing them now they just seem to make so much sense despite the superficial differences.

Life comes at you fast etc.

#but also yet another example of how as extraordinary as their lives are the breakup is the most painfully normal thing to happen #as for my friends the guy got engaged to the next girl he dated (of course) #the girl who is still one of my besties has had a series of unfortunate breakups with emotionally immature men lol #then went through her Activities era this fall after her last breakup lol #but may have finally found one of the rare emotionally intelligent men so there’s hope! #like obviously the situations aren’t analogous because my friends were much younger and while they were serious #they weren’t cohabiting serious #but their families were enmeshed and my friend did grieve losing her bf’s mom as support when they broke up #I’m just saying that as ‘perfect’ as Taylor and Joe seemed a few years ago #I can’t picture them as ever sharing more than a passing hello if they met as their current selves #it’s wild how people and circumstances change

wait as a fellow pin lover can we see the pins:) (and also where you got them?)

Okay I had to get the emergency cat treats out to get my cat off of my jacket lmao

So game grumps had a Memorial Day sale, so those are the new ones. The little guys and the dinosaurs lol. I also got a couple shirts bc I never get myself anything nice and I needed some pastel lesbians in my life lmao.

The gg duo on the right is the ultra rare pin, where arin has a glittery shirt lol

#I’m also planning on getting a set of pins that represent the champions to mirror the sages lol #I just think it would be neat #ask andromeda #I’m not like a crazy pin collector but I have my moments and have spent an embarrassing amount on them #these are just the ones that made it to this jacket #I used to have a leather jacket that I kinda destroyed with pins #and a lot of those pins broke lol #not pictured but I also have two pins on the collar which are an aroace pride flag and a lesbian pride flag
