#and inescapable ending really

[prototypelq]

Everything you ever heard about DRG community is true.

I have now been to multiple public (anyone could join) missions, where I started off alone, only to have another rando newbie (player rank like 7, so under 10 hours of playtime, same as me) come join, and, And a player with rank 179 (... let's say from the top of my head, around 100+ hours in the game) joined in to help us. I bet no loot from those missions even matter to those players, the rewards should be too little of use to them. They are just high-level players looking out for newbies and joining their games to help you learn the ropes. It's honestly amazing and super sweet.

It's also extremely fun to just hang around in the lobby with people. I have had several games where me and the team were celebrating our latest mission at the bar/dancefloor, only to then fall prey to engine failure and drop off the game entirely. I feel bad for ghosting those players like that, we did just spend 10 or more minutes doing funny dances together, but I don't regret that time spent together at all. DRG is really magical like that.

Rock and Stone, you beautiful dwarves!

#the rock and stone spam syndrome is real and inescapable #the game wouldn't be the same without it #i am really having an awesome time in here even if I quite usually end up confused #also i haven't even using the voice chat yet the ping system in the game works wonders for communication #though asking for the next stage of the mission is polite and i wish i had received more of those messages #oh well might be a regional issue for me #drg is great mutuals i would rock and stone for you #lootbugs my beloved i love u #every time a player kills a lootbug i die a little inside #also sish we could pet betsy the same way we can bet doretta #betsy deserves more love #i need to figure out how to mod the game without breaking the multiplayer to do that #drg #deep rock galactic #rock and stone!

it's just that i reeeally don't think it would have been that hard to find a solution to the timeline problem that didn't involve condemning the main character to an eternity trapped in his own solitary personal hell

#loki #loki spoilers #loki tv series #ive only barely started thinking about possible solutions and i already have one idea #loki could've figured out how to take someone with him as he timeslipped #(no reason why that couldn't have been a possibility considering he can also do things like pause time) #and taken sylvie back to the end of time and had her convince herself not to kill he who remains #also probably would be smart to go further back in time #rather than try to convince her to change her mind at the height of her emotion and rage #that might have. helped a bit maybe #idk it just really feels like there were options here #and that's part of why this all feels so unsatisfying to me #one thing that makes a lot of tragedies satisfying is inevitability #knowing that for one reason or another #the tragic ending was inescapable #that wasn't the case here #it didn't have to be this way #loki series negativity #op

my reading of lifesteal season 4 is so personal and involved at this point that even if i was going to post more character analysis i would not know where to start. it would require footnotes to documents that don't exist. listen to luddites and lambs by everything everything and you'll get half of it though

#m #lifesteal #there is just such a compelling and clear thematic line between like. okay #first you need to just accept for me the idea that zam as a character is defined by being trapped running both towards and away from #the same object (mapicc) #and then you have to take mapicc as interchangeable with pain in general but specifically an inescapable normalcy of pain #which is caught up in something zam wants and knows he wants which is the “pure/natural” idyllic version of lifesteal #where every fight is fair competition #and what mapicc has done to hurt him more than the actual stalking and murder and all of that is that mapicc refused to fight him on even #ground (by literally invading and destroying his home so that everything becomes battlefield) in a way that offends his most deeply #held values. AND THEN he reads vitalasy's use of the exploits as trying to take that same thing he fundamentally values about lifesteal #away and he gets incredibly angry with vitalasy for hurting the server itself (pvp becomes functionally obsolete for a while there) #so he plays out the eclipse betrayal framing it in his own mind as another situation where he is the victim and vitalasy is the #manipulator/aggressor and falls back into the kind of jumpy paranoid behavior we as the viewer haven't actually seen from him in a very #long time now (late into eclipse when mapicc isn't an active threat anymore he really does stop jumping at shadows the way he used to) #and seems comforted by the familiarity of it if anything. because what vitalasy was asking of him that made him panic and reject it so #badly was to create a new pattern and step out onto unknown ground but he can't do it #and he retreats back to what he knows. so vitalasy isn't WRONG to read what zam does as victimizing himself #and forcing vitalasy into a villain role that is literally what he is doing #but vitalasy on the other end still has his own entire set of things he is not dealing with #and so the relationship created by these two people is doomed by their inability to look themselves in the eye more than any of the actual #facts of the relationship itself #and the thing zam wants lifesteal to be is not and has never been real. the thing vitalasy wants lifesteal to be is also antithetical to #its nature they are both wrong #but zam is wrong in that he wants to return to an idealized imagined past that does not actually exist #(see also vague historical allusions in his castle and his name and him trying after vi's death to cast off violence completely and return #to the land somehow. and the association created incidentally between stone tools and rudimentary technology) #and vitalasy is wrong in that he's trying to create something entirely new that nobody but him actually wants via the exploit #(see the way that once the exploit is 'out of the box' it can't be put back in and the course of the season is set in motion and any attemp #s to fight it and change that course are futile as allegorical to sudden technological advancement being met with violent opposition)

I know how it feels Duke, to be fighting to be the person that you want to be when everyone is telling you to be someone else.

#haven #haven syfy #havenedit #audrey parker #duke crocker #mine:photoset #haven really supernaturaled itself by having an entire story arc about the characters trying to escape their own destiny #only for it to be completely inescapable in the end #like yes duke made the choice to sacrifice himself to stop croatoan but he still succumbed to the crocker curse in the end and that's >:( #but also man imagine if we'd gotten this scene like. two episodes earlier so duke could've had time to actually process this #anyway beep boop just thinking about this scene has me flinging myself headfirst into the sun #they're so blorbo to me and duke deserved better

new who has emphasized the cybermen as a loss of personhood but they really really have not leaned into the horror of it like they could. there have even been stories of maintaining ones personhood through the conversion but what about the opposite? what about a generation of cybermen that do not hide what they used to be, whose faces are still visible, reflecting an individuality they no longer possess, but that is meaningful to the people they used to belong to? the “ghosts” of doomsday were imagined to be dead loved ones, but what if you saw their face? what if your grandfather was looking you in the face but did not recognize you. what if he offered a way to take away the pain of loss. what if the ordeal was over and the danger was done and the thing piloting his body survived it intact. what if he was right there but you could never, ever have him back. what then

#idek what i’m saying i’m just making stuff up #to flesh it out into a two-episode concept you’d probably want to have some kinda like; cyberscouts #cybermen who are like 90% corpse 10% metal who kinda go out and pretend to be human still #and then offer a solution to emotional troubles. one that worked for them #and then bam get cybered idiot #which would be the reveal at the end of the first episode; that it’s cybermen #and then the second is dealing w the cybermen #the only trouble is a scheme like that requires a degree of emotional intelligence i don’t think the cybermen have #bc the thing is they’re quite simple about that kind of thing #assimilate into the army and that’s it #an infiltration program that relies on manipulation is more out of the dalek playbook; i think #which means you might need to credit it to someone else #i suppose the master is right there; but there’s other options #hm #much to consider but not really #i just think. emphasizing how much these things used to be People would be nice #a modern suit could walk around empty but not an original one #those things needed A Body #you couldn’t escape the corpse in them and thats. that’s a good thing #bc it makes the terror of them central to the thing itself. inescapable #alternatively rather than a two-episode plot; an audio #with the reveal of who was behind it being part of a little mini arc

i dont even know enough about what people are doing with sonic.exe these days to have an actual opinion on the concept itself but wow am i tired of it flooding sonic tags on like every site I DONT CAREEEEEEEE

#it feels like every once in a while sonic.exe just becomes borderline inescapable if you like sonic and then it calms down for a bit #and then it comes back i dont even follow any people who post sonic.exe i just search sonic and its everywhere BEGONEEEEE #not saying you cant keep doing whatever youre doing but thats not what im looking for in the slightest #alsowhy are they so obsessed with fleetway super sonic get him OUT of there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #ngl i dont understand any of this i thought sonic.exe was a creepypasta about a haunted copy of a sonic game #and a decent amount of the stuff i see get labelled as sonic.exe content feels really far removed from that concept ? #like i even see actual sonic fans making sonic horror aus and slapping .exe on the end . i dont . get it #whatever man #before anyone says blacklist tags blacklisting tags doesnt stop posts from eappearing in search results anymore #so even if i blacklist the tags i still have to scroll past all that stuff #and the other sites i have in mind where ive had exe stuff show up in results are sites that dont have a blacklist feature

Yo not only is this Dipper smart and cute and interesting, he's loyal. And genuine loyalty is something Other Bill hasn't experienced in a long time (probably).

In my headcanon, it's a thing that neither Bill has experienced in a long time - if ever. Which makes it compelling! I mean, imagine:

A person who isn't after favors, or power - who doesn't care about your position in the world, whether they think you're some middling jobber of a demon or a literal Nightmare King. Who doesn't want you to do stuff for them, because they've got a stubborn independent streak. Someone who laughs at your jokes only when they actually think they're funny. Who seduces you not because of the advantages it could give them, but because they honestly want to bed you. Someone who disagrees with you - will argue with you - and while there are fundamental differences, it doesn't turn them off.

Despite the fact that they should hate you, or avoid you, do the sensible thing for their species - even with so many escape routes available, they aren't leaving.

Because this someone genuinely, honestly, likes you.

Just because you're... you.

Throw in all the other stuff about Dipper, and Our Bill never stood a chance.

#To reiterate #Dipper actually volunteering to make out with a triangle was a big ego boost for Bill #He kinda figured Dipper would be into it #But him OFFERING to do it proves that Dipper really doesn't care if he's a hot human anymore #Not like that first blush of attraction when they met #Bill snuck into that hindbrain without ever actually being there and now Dipper goes 'hmm' when he looks at an equilateral #Bill would still take a human form to bed him but that's just because it's way way more convenient #Bill got a taste of sincere emotions and romance for once in his eternal life and he stuck to it like a limpet #I mentioned some of this in Hating It (Bill's POV of Faking It) #And it remains true #Bill started out being a total vicious asshole until he realized Dipper could be useful #So he made some brief attempts at being Charming #Dipper wasn't having that fakey fake charming bullshit #So Bill shrugged and decided to just be his usual jackass self because why put in the effort when the ruse isn't working #Which weirdly made Dipper like him more #So Bill just ended up being Himself at Dipper which Dipper liked and Bill liked that Dipper responded well to it #And now Bill's inescapably sick and trapped into not being as big an asshole as he could because it would make his husband Upset #A vicious cycle that he doesn't even want to escape anymore

also look a lot of stuff went down when i was high and i should have expected some of it but was seriously nobody going to tell me about the pain because like that was INSANE to experience

#For context about like 20 (???) min into the trip i was in excruciating pain #i don't have a good sense of time BUT LIKE WHAT WAS THAT #i thought it was supposed to be pain relief that shit hurt so bad #anyway it was fine LMFAO im feeling a lot more optimistic now #like i got really depressed because i also started experiencing psychosis #like i was reverting back to that place mentally so i ended up spending maybe an hour or two really fucked up #but past that experience it was REALLY funny and yk im still trying to find humor in the sad stuff #like yes it was raelly fucked up that i felt that way but objectively also kind of funny right #i cant be sad about my mental illness forever. even if it chases me into a high. even if its inescapable. #im loved enough to laugh at it

just realized what my overarching pet peeve with the triple A visual arms race is - it's the god damn adaptive resolution. it's this umbrella telltale scam that contains all the snake oil we've been slowly fed and gives away the entire false equivalence of trying to one-up the competition by feature bloat on hardware that just doesn't handle it. games are so rammed up the wazoo with ray tracing and global illumination sims and trillion polygon models with performance modes and SSDs sweating for blazing fast speeds that everything just "secretly" runs at upscaled 900p now. and nothing is crisp or legible and anti aliasing is being retooled as a further smokescreen for it and that is our next generation playstation experience. it slowly crept up in the prev gen and absolutely exploded with this gen's idiotic ambitions and we all just took it and now every game looks like fucking mush. I can't believe the scam that's being run here. how do we not care about this trade-off?? seven-year dev cycle games with more polish than a chrome teapot roll out with LOD pop-in on a hero character's hair that dissolves into grain noise when you jerk the camera too much.

I've been exclusively console gaming for the past decade and just happened to need a powerful laptop for work this year - where I've now replayed some of my multiplatform faves. at like low-to-medium settings but with dynamic resolution forced the fuck off and all the masturbatory nonsense switched off and it is an incomparably better experience, and yes, I mean visually - geometry and shape language are legible, art direction is no longer hidden behind a screen of upscaled pixels and beholden to careful resource allocation for set pieces, and it all looks so utterly fine with the reflections and lighting being baked-in instead of mathematically simulated. I don't want to name names and start slinging shit at developers here, it's all a top-down industry issue obviously, but man. such dung being shoveled onto us for seventy dollars and they don't even give you the courtesy to make it legible at 1080p - a small desk computer screen. for fuck's sake. unreal engine 3 games looked fine. what is going on here

Bobbed and weaved for two years trying not to overpay for a PS5 from scalpers, finally got one at market value, and I still have yet to play a seventy dollar game on it that's as legible as its counterpart on a god damn laptop

#you know what i respect nintendo for dipping out of the nuclear race for graphics and just keeping the new zelda games 'good' #in the literal fucking sense of the word. like who cares oh my god who cares #about the graphics. yeah the switch being 720p is regrettable but they're at least developing while cognizant of it #sorry I know this sounds like a nonsense issue and I did mentioned it is a pet peeve #but if you've played the same game on a high-end console and on a PC post 2018 or so. you KNOW what I mean #by the mush. it's just inescapable in expensive-ass games #and they're like shrugging and going it's all optimization and a way to stay on the cutting edge #I'd rather SEE THINGS #text #negativity #really needed this rant lmao

Please drop mrd theatre au lore????

OH HOO BOY so. genuinely did not remember i never explained that au huh ksjdngd its been a hot minute since ive messed with that one, but lets see what i can dig up for it. as a disclaimer, its kind of an... abstract au, very rough around the edges as well. dont expect it to be anything too concrete WAHAHA

anyhow. tldr:   the mrd theatre au is exactly what it sounds like: the plot of the game described entirely through the lens of a theater production! alternately referred to as the dance au, because... its a musical! major events are described through dance, each piece pushing the story forward with the power of music and expression. literally-- the story won’t move on without it. starring mad rat as the lead role, rat god as the director, and heart as... That One Guy, Sure!

    the abstraction kicks in in its presentation though-- it's told through the framing of a stage-- however, the story itself is Real to the characters. their world is real, and as characters, they see it as such. to everyone else, it's exactly as its namesake: a play. the term "actor" and "character" go hand in hand, practically synonyms. actors are the characters. the narrative is their world. all in all: the theatre au is an inspection of the meaning of Reality and Perception, the meaning of what it is to be a Character or a Person, and a play on Stories and Roles. more under the cut.

---------------

  As it does in canon, the narrative starts with Mad Rat waking up, and Rat God telling him his situation. Y'know, he died, she's giving him a second chance, etc etc. However, she Specifically tells him that he is, in fact, a character in a play and, as someone outside of the narrative, she knows what to do and what paths to follow. As long as he followed her, he'd be able to make it to the end of his story a-ok, and finally get the ending he deserved!

  In the beginning, Rat God starts out with a whole musical number as she narrates the scene (to both the audience and Mad Rat) to catch him up to speed on where he is, who she is, and why he died. As she finishes, hands off the (metaphorical) mic to Mad Rat to get a word in for his debut scene. Unfortunately, Mad Rat, having just recovered from a terminal case of Being Dead, Does Not In Fact Have The Nicest Voice. Seeing this, Rat God quickly interrupts and redirects to another option: Dance. Which is where a major quirk comes in: every character has a specialized dance style!

  Rat gods style is tap/swing, which is what the intro scene Truly is! It's Rat God introducing Mad Rat to the concept of The Show in a duet swing performance. Specifically, in this performance, Rat God takes the lead role in this one for several reasons: 1) She's Extra and Likes Showmanship. 2) She's ensuring Mad Rat goes in the direction he's supposed to-- making sure he's following along. And 3) She's effectively re-teaching Mad Rat how to move after. Y'know. Being Dead. Swing is a heavily motion-focused and improvisational dance: Mad Rat Does Not Know How To Dance. However, Rat God is good enough at it that she can take the lead and turn his stumbles and missteps into motion and flair. It's essentially the tutorial stage!

  The narrative is pretty much the same through the first third of the game, more or less. Mad Rat meets Heart, who doesn't really Dance but rather just cheers him on, and they begin "travelling" together, with periodical "intermissions" where Rat God, off to the side of the stage presents recaps, narration, and questions-- but it's never clear if it's to the audience or Mad Rat. Maybe both. What's really important is the Framing, though. Mad Rat (kind of) acknowledges he is just a Character, but doesn't really Understand it. 

  Despite the knowledge, he still functions through the frame of a Character. He perceives the stage as The World Around Him rather than A Stage, while Rat God is the opposite. This leads to Mad Rat essentially just Following Her Lead. Which ends up just seeming... brazenly reckless and incredibly dangerous-- because Mad Rat doesn't think it will lead to anything. Obviously he's the main character, so he's probably going to just... get to his goal and whatever happens happens, right? Rat God said which way the story goes so... whatever, right?

  Which all culminates at Heart's intervention: Heart notices all of this and gets worried. Whatever this Mess about "shows" and "story" and "directors" is, Mad Rat is still being really really flippant about how many Near Death Experiences he's had (not to mention the whole "Seeing Things That Heart Doesn't" thing.) So he decides to step in.

  This is the first time we ever see Heart dance! He'd always insisted on being moral support/backup for Mad Rat, not really stepping in in any major way. Turns out, he's really good at a lot of dance styles. It's the first time we have a music genre outside of showtunes and the adjacent. It's heart basically trying to tell him that, whatever bullshit about "Narratives" he's following, Mad Rat is still Here. He's still a contributor to the world around him-- he can affect It, and it can affect him. It doesn't matter what he knows about Whatever This Is because it all wont matter if he gets himself into Real Trouble. Which is a convenient segue to the next arc-- they go off-script.

  The following arcs are pretty much just those two figuring out what to do and where they’re going. Mad Rat, up to this point, was just (kind of badly) trying to imitate the swing style from the beginning, but slowly starts figuring out his own specialty on his own. Mad Rat kind of dabbles through a lot, but is Particularly good at breakdance/krump. It’s a bit of a slow process, but he slowly forges his own place in a world he technically does not belong in. 

  All the while, Rat God is suspiciously quiet. They weren’t supposed to go that way, or do any of that, But she could improvise. She passively tried to mess with them from offstage-- changing the background scenery, tossing obstacles after them-- but they just. Kept going. Mad Rat even began Understanding the nature of The Stage and learning how to use that to his advantage, predicting the way things would move or shift, and using that knowledge to move even faster. It was only after Mimolette’s scene (which was Not supposed to be this early in the script, to Rat God’s chagrin,) that she Really started to get particularly miffed. They’d completely gone off-script, avoided Everything she sent after them-- but there was still an ending that needed to be told, and she was going to tell it no matter how messy it was to get there. Which leads to an intervention of her own.

  As the director, she had direct control over a lot of things-- but she herself could never interact with the Narrative. She had no real Hold, as it were. She was barely a concept to the characters in the narrative-- they could not really perceive her. So, she decided to break that rule-- and interact with them directly. Rat God’s scene is incredibly similar to that in canon: Incredibly Chaotic and Hard To Track. She mostly keeps to swing, as that’s her specialty, but regularly switches it up to try and throw Mad Rat off. But things are different than their first dance.

  Mad Rat has a grasp on himself and his goals. Rat God’s plan is already off its rhythm-- it was clear from the start that this was a last-ditch effort on her part to kill him. Despite her still trying to take control, Mad Rat was nothing if not stubborn. He was just as good at deflecting and navigating the scene as she was. But it’s hard to truly get rid of something like Rat God. She isn’t done until the Story was done. There was still a story to be told, so here she stayed. She could keep going as long as he could, and longer. So knowing what he did now, and understanding the circumstance, he did the only think of. The two had, to some extent, switched places: Rat God taking the stance of a Character/Participant in the scene, and Mad Rat seeing the full scope of The Stage and how it worked. The show was still going, so all he had to do was end it. 

  Tricking her into a monologue, he truly exits the frame of the narrative for the first time, grabbing one of the curtain ropes and letting it free, closing the curtains on the stage-- with Rat God behind them. And... silence. In the end, it was just the closed curtains, the audience, and Mad Rat and Heart in front of them. They saw the audience, truly, for the first time-- that larger force constantly watching over him from beyond his view, pushing the show forward not of their own actions, but of their presence alone. This is who it was all for. And seeing this, Mad Rat makes the decision... to ignore them. 

  They weren’t important anymore. The show was over-- the audience had no more use here. No more power here. They meant nothing to him. Nothing to them. He has one last talk with Heart-- they knew they weren’t alone, not truly-- but all that mattered right then was just the two of them. What they’d seen, what they’d been through-- it all had to come to an end eventually. But not by the hand of someone who had no stake in their story-- in their lives. Mad Rat gets to make his own choice about his future: And with no story left to tell... he gets up, and walks off the stage. 

   The Story Is Over.

#pikasks #mrd theatreAU #long post #no fandomtags we die like men #anyhow. thanks for enabling another essay of an infodump ur a real one <333 kdjgnkdjf #this au means The World to me but because its so... [waves arms around.] its very hard to explain in a way that feels Correct. #a lot of it is Vibes alone. feelings and concepts and notions of motion and song. as it is in canon too i think. #as with canon; its a play on tiers of personhood and control-- of who truly gets to choose fate; or if it really exists at all. #its about grabbing on with such fervor that the fabric of the world around you bends to your will. #about the inescapability of Role and Expectation; of Progress and Actions. how nobody in this story; truly; could choose how it ended. #not alone; at least. #rat god is equally bound to her role as director. she has no sway in this world. no matter how deeply she may want it. #the difference between her and mad rat is something tragic; to me. #two people in such similar roles reacting so differently they mirror each other perfectly. #surrender to a role you have no control of and hope it eventually benefits you-- or fight tooth and nail against forces stronger than you. #but these are the tags. im just waxing poetic at this point. #if you want a more clear read of the vibes this was inspired and started entirely by the mrd piano medley by tmsy. #please go check it out it slaughters me. id point out a specific part but its kind of all of them. #anyhow. thanks for reading and also enabling me. have a lovely day !! <33

it’d be fun to read something high fantasy from you! you know, robes, ancient lore, homoerotic undertones or overtones, etc

i hate to inform you of this but unfortunately I'm categorically incapable of writing high fantasy because almost all the high fantasy I've read is either a bad rip off of or a commentary on tolkien's work and I just don't have enough to say about middle earth to make a book out of it

#i do however have enough polarizing opinions about eowyn to write a 20k fic that gives her an ending that actually works with the very #valid reasons for her being the way she is #and recognition that the solution is not just for her to realize that glory is empty and by trying to earn it she will hurt herself beyond #repair #BUT that what she really wanted wasn't ever glory—it was validation and an opportunity to help people by doing what she's good at #and not just what she was forced into #beanenchilada #also i have a lot of thoughts about glorfindel and also ecthelion #but those are even less high fantasy and more comedy of errors + tragedy of tragedy casting an inescapable shadow over your head #ask game responses

the experience of being a st fan on tumblr who doesn’t have any strong feelings past “yeah he’s cool I like him” about steve eddie or will is a little funny ngl. not a negative experience but it is a little bit like opening a bag of candy and the bag is just like 80% orange and grape. like yeah okay that’s good but like can I get some more cherry and lemon and lime please like I only really want a little bit of orange and grape I’m glad the people who like orange and grape are having fun but there’s only like two thoughtful pieces about mike and nancy and el cherry pieces in here and it would be cool to have some more. and then you have to make your own homemade cherry candy which is fun and rewarding and I can appreciate the love and hard work that went into making the orange and the grape candies but sometimes you just wanna open the bag to some cherry already there yknow

#not hate just a little baffling lol #like oh hey y’all are having fun that’s cool #okay woah another post about these characters haha okay #oh and another one #lmao like again v happy for people who like these characters #but I’m just like. alright! any mike posts tho? no? okay! #guess I’m out here making my own posts for my favorite characters #again this isn’t really a complaint just like. an inescapable observation lol #sorry if that sounds like a roast again happy for y’all lol #but it’s just like. wow. that sure is 12 posts in a row on my dash now lol #happy for you tho happy for you #this sounds so passive aggressive lmao I promise it’s not intended that way #it’s probably also just bc I follow a lot of reddie blogs but that’s a whole other study lol #if this ends up in any tags sorry tried to type in a way to insure that it didn’t #no reblogs just for my little diary that is my blog lol #grateful for the people who make content I really like too don’t get me wrong!! y’all are incredible <3 #food mention

Going insane about the life series, how is that *gestures wildly* not scripted???

#the patterns and the symbolism go so hard #these dudes just be playing block game but it really do mirror the inevitability of death #and how love is the most dangerous thing of all #and that the ending and the pain that comes with it is not greater than the life lived before #and that creating for the sake of it matters everything is temporary and the world is better with art than without it #and that fate is inescapable but we get to CHOOSE who we die with and for #limited life #nerdy’s traffic analysis #traffic series #trafficblr #double life #last life #third life

having scrolled 2 seconds of discourse i can say with 100% certainty that the secret to liking stranger things 4 vol 2 is not caring about the parts of the show that seemingly everyone on tumblr cares about

#sorry to be hashtag controversial but i don't think the stancy resurgence is bad writing #they had an intense yearlong relationship that ended very abruptly #and now steve is a kinder and more mature person who's struggling to find meaning and direction in his life #and jonathan is not only living out of state but actively pulling away #and the trauma of the upside down is inescapable and the past is literally swallowing the town whole #is it really THAT surprising that steve and nancy would be reconsidering their relationship?? #i don't want them to get back together! i think this is a trauma response and they don't truly want to be together! #but i don't think the fact that it's happening at all or that it was prioritized over like. steve's relationship with eddie. is bad writing #stranger things #st spoilers

#bc i dont like having good clothes that i dont wear and my docs are wayyy to used up to give them away #and ive only had them for 5 years thats not that long #stupid online queer spaces and their stupid jokes abt platform docs being inherently cooler and more fashionable and more visibly gay #idk what i expected from my parents tho bc they always tell me to get stuff which is freat that we have the money for that #but sometimes im asking bc im hoping theyll tell me sth is not worth it #like i dont need new shoes plus its unsustainable and i dont want to succumb to consummerism more than i already have #so yeah ig im not buying them hopefully the sale will end soon so im not tempted anymore #sorry i had to write this down as a way to reason with myself more efficiently <3 #plus i want books for christmas shoes would be stupid #and the money i have that i could pay for them with im saving up for #uhh sth ig i dont really have an idea #ig maybe a tattoo or a piercing #speaking of which i hate ig soo much but its the easiest way to contact tattoo artists........ this is hell and its inescapable #dante yells #sorry ik this is annoying and unrelatable and a complete non issue
