y3 has made me feel many things but one of the things that lingers with me the most about it is how majima takes every possible opportunity and makes every possible gesture to say “please don’t leave me alone again, please take me with you when you leave, I WANT to be right next to you when you need me, I’ll literally do anything for you, just don’t leave me alone again” always indirectly but in strong enough ways that i think it’d be obvious to anyone paying attention EXCEPT Kazuma Kiryu, The Densest Man On Earth, who he’s pleading to in the first place. it’s. frustrating to watch. someone needs to grab kiryu by the shoulders and tell him. for the love of god. this man loves you so much and you keep leaving him when all he wants to do is help you and be with you please just take him to okinawa oh my god

#kazumaji #it’s FRUSTRATING #specifically thinking about the scene in the bar after the pink truck debacle #where majima finally says like. if you’re going to Okinawa to deal with this whole assassination thing or whatever comes up I’m coming #with you. you don’t have a ton of support down there and me and you together are basically unstoppable #pretty much completely outright #and kiryu. the dense stubborn motherfucker he is. is like. i don’t have No One down there I have a few friends (missing the point). I’ll be #fine. I don’t need your help there. you should stay here #I’ll give him some credit because then saying ‘someone has to stay here and keep the Tojo clan from total collapse’ is a good point and it #does mean something that he trusts majima to be that person (especially given I don’t think anyone else on earth would trust him with that) #(despite him being totally capable- you know mad dog persona and all that blah blah blah) #like that’s a good point idk who else would be a good choice to do that considering daigo’s out of commission and who’s even left after that #obviously mine is Sketchy. kashiwagi is (supposedly) dead. everyone else kiryu trusts in the yakuza is dead or injured more or less. #not gonna leave fuckin DATE in charge or something #so. fair enough point. but nonetheless it doesn’t erase the fact that kiryu overlooks what majima means in the grander scheme of things #and still believes first and foremost that he doesn’t need/want his help when he does and he should #he’s just. allergic to making life easier for himself #among other issues #sigh #yakuza 3 #y3 #goro majima #kazuma kiryu #kiryu #majima #rambling

Hey does anyone have any suggestions for ttrpgs other than dnd? I’ve been wanting to branch out but very few if any posts suggesting to move to other games actually give examples of said games and what they’re good for

#I prefer to use it for making more rp heavy campaigns rather than focusing on the battle aspects #and dnd is built more for battling #among other issues #though when dming I tend to just cherry-pick the rules that make sense for campaigns anyways #but yeah #ppl always say to use other ttrpgs but very rarely give examples #and I want to know which ones will fit my playing style better before spending money on things #rambles #sorry for making an essay in the tags #dnd #ttrpg

I'm begging people on the left to actually vet the things they are cheering on, like, it's wild seeing people falling for what looks progressive on the surface, but seems to actually be a right-wing false flag funded by Big Oil, like, I thought it was suspicious bc it felt more like a right-wing parody of left-wing activists, and so far, I seem to be correct, and the same people supporting this are also going around calling leftists 'fascists' wtf is going on lol 😭

#yes this is about the van gogh painting thing #one of them was flashing white supremacist hand signals #among other issues #you can't rightfully mock the right for this kind of clownery #and then turn around and do it yourself lol

I had a dream once where my family were living with some other people in this underground complex, the main hall of which was called the under-hall, apparently in reference to Undertale somehow.

For some reason my sister and I were mentally and physically more like we were when we were younger, and were playing an imaginary game that was also somehow real, where we were both cats, but she kept killing me because I was evil (which was actually kind of true. I was very much the evil edgy older sibling archetype here, very much in line with how I actually was at that age). Then some other stuff happened involving that, but the important part is that we stopped playing that game, and I started playing a game on a 3DS that was some sort of official Disney game that was a massive crossover, but completely child friendly, like for ten year olds. Imagine kingdom hearts without the final fantasy elements, but dumbed down.

Anyways I triggered a story event intentionally by using some evil material called "black matter", and in this event it was causing the potential destruction of earth, through 3 evil meteors but there were also good and neutral meteors, and the game somehow knew I did this on purpose and let me do an evil route where I played as the villain. During this, we get to the highlight of this whole thing, in which I was confronted in a cutscene by Sophia the First, and some other random people (apparently her friends, but I've never watched the show so idk), and, after hiding his weak point from them when they realized what it was, the villain character I was playing as pulls out a realistic looking hand gun, says something along the lines of "I can't believe Disney is letting me do this given the rating, but here's something you couldn't have expected" and then I had the option of which of her eyes to shoot at.

And I was thinking A: this guy is a scarier Disney villain than Bill Cipher (not sure I actually agree with that, but my dream self apparently thought so) and B: surely its going to be blocked by some magical shield or something.

It wasn't.

There was no gore or anything, and that probably would've made the experience less authentic. Too over the top. But this felt like Disney had gone full Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) with this storyline, but way more so than Sega ever did. Also I was fast enough that it let me shoot the other eye, then shoot all of her friends.

After this I turned off the game, and I planned on telling my sister because she would find it just as nuts as I did, and eventually I did, and she apparently was also playing this game and was upset I triggered the event while she was asleep because apparently the game had proximity based event sync.

I had told her about this while a car the family were in was caught in the middle of a truck race being hosted on some area of road we were on, but the trucks and the road over time kept getting bigger relative to us until they had to be like 3 stories tall. I don't remember why we were driving, but I do remember getting caught in it, and the reason I brought up the game then, was because apparently using the black matter or other kinds of material in game could've somehow helped us in the real world, presumably because of the blending between games and reality I mentioned at the start. Also the main method of transport around the track once we got as small as we did was to break off tiny bits of things and place them back down like minecraft blocks.

Anyways I had this dream in the middle of the day after falling asleep and when I woke up I thought it was 3 in the morning for several minutes.

#dream #dream i had #tried to submit to one time i dreamt but i think it was too long #and wasn't worded correctly #among other issues #one of the few dreams i've had that are sane and coherent enough to make for a good story #even a stupid one #disney #the gun looked like a glock btw

"tumblr doesnt care about the users they care about what makes them money"

what else is new

#there is something painfully funny about that ask #that talks about the push for things to buy like the merch store and blaze #and sure there are users who buy merch or use the blaze (you can even blaze other ppls posts now) #but at the very least on my side of tumblr its very much a joke or ill advised to take part in either #im sure other people will put it into better words but the very much #'tumblr isnt making money' cut to users aggressively not wanting to spend money on the site bc it makes changes they dont like #among other issues

every so often my brain reminds me that Reid's dad walked out and left him with his mentally ill mother and Reid had to take care of his mother and essentially grow up fast b/c his mother was so ill she'd lay in bed for days barely moving. what the heck.

#off the clock | ooc #and now he has trust issues #among other issues #no one in the b.a.u had a good childhood did they? #like everyone has traumatic backstory #anyway time to delve more into season 3 #and again if u see me adding any muses no u dont <<<<333

sometimes it's not even that i don't think i'm a good writer, it's that i question if i can be consistent and 'productive' enough to really do anything with it

#it's almost midnight and im having a crisis about starting grad school so soon #it's a little over three weeks #i know it's going to be alright most likely but i'm so anxious and yet #it feels so similar to my undergrad #im working at the writing center im going to be working on the litmag im taking literature class and a writing wksp like #how much has really changed from undergrad #i think once i start itll be different and i'll feel the difference more #but until then i'm just like 'why am i doing this again' #it feels like i should be taking a break or working like my friends are #and yet here i am doing more school with the hopes that itll get me somewhere despite it being a 'useless' degree #why am i trying lol but also what other options do i really have? not much #being disabled means im limited in my job options #among other issues #im going to go to bed soon but idk it's exhausting

The reason this fandom hates IDW Optimus isn't because he's a cop (plenty of people are fine with Prowl) or because he's a bastard (most characters in IDW are) but because he commits the crime of being an actual person who's messy, flawed, and makes a shitload of high stakes mistakes fitting for the intense situations and pressure he's put under constantly.

But we can't have Optimus actually react to his situations by lashing out or being unpleasant, no, he has to have the personality of a cardboard cutout of G1 whose only defining personality traits are "dad, funny, nice," and if he ever vents negative emotions it can only ever be #relatable depression or him being sad on his own without ever letting it show during the important parts of the story. If Optimus dares do things like be angry or frustrated or bitter it's just a sign that he's a bastard and LITERALLY the worst Optimus ever. If Optimus ever makes mistakes or does wrong things in the heat of anger/frustration/stress it's because he's just an evil bastard with no redeeming traits.

God forbid Optimus go through an unending gauntlet of war, politics, atrocities, near-complete loneliness, and a seemingly endless cycle of violence for his entire life and come out of it kind of bitter, angry, and tired of dealing with people's shit. He's not allowed to be a realistic person, context doesn't matter, sympathy doesnt matter. IDW Optimus doesn't fulfill the fandom's fantasies of Father Figure or Perfect Cultural Icon or Twinky Fucktoy and since that's the only reason most people care about Optimus in general, the fandom collectively trashes on IDW OP.

All because he can't fit into the overly simplified and childlike double standard the fandom has where if any other character is messy and flawed, that's good writing and interesting and compelling, but if OPTIMUS is messy and flawed, he's Literally The Worst and he's an asshole for no other reason than He Sucks, context be damned

#squiggposting #ive been here too long and seen the same shit too many times #i'm tired of going 'maybe it's just a difference in taste' nope #the issue is literally just double standards and people not reading the text or taking things out of context #and the worst part is if this were just something OP haters did i would get it #after all if you just dont like OP then of course you arent gonna find anything interesting or compelling #but i see this shit from literally other MOP fans who supposedly love M and OP #but their OP takes are shit and i can count the no. of people who write IDW OP on one hand #i kind of thought that at least among other OP fans there would be deeper readings but if anything it's worse #fandom OP content is 50% haha funny dad jokes g1 knockoff OP and 50% yaoi uke twink sad baby OP #so unimaginative. so fucking boring. so immature #to style yourselves some sort of mature TF fans and then viciously reject the One OP who #dared to be written a little darker and more flawed than any others #it's literally just people refusing to give a chance to any nuanced take on OP #they just want him to be There and Nice and for his biggest flaw to be Being Annoying About Equality or something #might delete later might not

i’m a bit too hungover to fully articulate this the way i want to but

there’s something about camila dragging billy to that party where he’s immediately offered alcohol because she’s never truly seen his addiction for what it is vs daisy staying in his tour bus with him because she understands that they’re fighting the same struggle

there’s something about camila not really having any clue why billy needs daisy so much to the point where she has to ask if daisy’s a better lover than her vs daisy inherently understanding why billy had to choose his family despite never having a family of her own

there’s something about camila never intervening in the billy/eddie conflict in all those years vs daisy showing up and immediately telling billy that aurora needed to be eddie’s project too

there’s something about billy writing the same songs over and over with camila vs daisy forcing him out of his songwriting comfort zone leading to him writing the most personal and beautiful songs of his career

something something daisy allowed him to be the truest version of himself while camila let him hide behind the idealized version something something billy ultimately chose camila because he wanted to be the man that she saw instead of the complicated mess that daisy understood him to be

#daisy jones and the six #daisybilly #daisy jones #billy dunne #essay in the tags incoming so hol up #so listen i feel like ppl say that camila is the healthier or outright better option for billy but what they actually mean #is that she's the easiest option #billy doesn't have to acknowledge that he's an addict with camila because she doesn't acknowledge it either #he doesn't have to address his control issues or his conflict with eddie or the ways that he messes up outside his marriage #but then daisy pops up out of nowhere and acts as a mirror to his true self #and he hates her for it #and yet he also loves her for it because there's something so holy in being seen for the first time #but among other things billy dunne is-- respectfully-- kind of a coward #being with camila means that he can pretend to be the man she wants him to be #he can even pretend that it comes naturally #with daisy there's nothing to hide behind or pretend #there's only him and her and the truth between them #and for a man like billy that's the most terrifying thing he can imagine #i am a ~daisybilly is healthier in the long term than c*millabilly~ truther and i cannot be silenced

George RR Martin confirming he stepped in to help write season 2 of House of the Dragon is so funny like he really saw how they were writing his favourite babygirl Daemon Targaryen and said “not on my watch😤😤”
