My Fathers House [album version] 🤝 Independence Day [Live at the Roxy 1987] 🤝 The River [Live at LA Coliseum 85. the spoken intro that hits like a sledgehammer] [all yt links]

Songs by Bruce Springsteen that make me feel shrimp emotions about Fathers.

#honorary mention to adam raised a cain #but i know what emotion that makes me feel #these just make me feel a pit and then a wave of emotion #anyway ive been meaning to say this for a while #bruce springsteen #independence day especially hits hardd #do. do i need to say anything about the spoken introduction to the river #thats not covered by 'makes me feel shrimp emotions about father' #i said i went to take my physical #he said “what happened” #i said they didnt take me #and he said “thats good” #<- i dont know how to explain it but. yea. i get that. that makes me feel things #my fathers house is a driving factor in my own slow reconciliation with my own dad. i dont want it to be to late & to lose the opportunity #to know him as an adult myself #when i can see the good and not suffer the bad #anyway in the wise words of a lovely tumblr mutual whos tags reminded me i wanted to make this post #stop making me feel things bruce

it honestly surprises me that i don't hear anything about the very real possibility that Nandor could have sired Dracula

#wwdits #what we do in the shadows #nandor #nandor the relentless #in case you're wondering: Vlad jr. and his brother were raised in the Ottoman empire in the 1400s #and would have been exposed to many generals and other important people coming and going thru the palace #or during their military training #if Nandor didnt know him then he could have clashed with him in Vlads' rebellion against the Ottomans when he reclaimed his throne #or even after that #Vlad had a /lot/ of Ottoman interactions to the point that I can't beleive that making Nandor an Ottoman general #when its a little tricky consindering the Ottoman empire didnt really gain traction until the 1300s and originated much farther north #so i have to believe someone made that choice - that would have put Nandor in direct contact with Vlad - on purpose #or my wild theory of Nandor being the true inspiration for the Dracula character and Stoker just took the name b/c it sounded cooler #(which is what actually happened in real life) #Nandor was Bram Stoker's ex and Dracula was a salacious hit-piece with name changes #ok ok but getting back to Nandor being Dracula's sire #imagine the angst! the drama! #Dracula is the archenemy of Van Helsing! how delicious!! #give me 20k fics of the antics of Nandor sireing the 1 enemy of Guillermo pls and thank you 🙏

no but what the fuck i said it back in January when Jack dislocated his shoulder again that he shouldn't have come back, that that boy wasn't fully healed and came back because people kept pressuring him considering the way the media was talking about how his injury was the devils downfall and i don't doubt someone on the team was like you can play through this right, and he's an athlete, athletes are conditioned to play through pain, and hockey is so much worse on that point, and you look at him and you know all he knows is hockey, but he's also a 22 yo who people keep expecting to be this saving grace when he's human and injured but of course he's gonna say, hell yeah i can play and keep his scoring average high and do everything he can for the devils, he's been moving less smootly for weeks, he wasn't shooting as much as he would before, he was playing like someone whos scared to be injured and i was saying his shoulder didn't heal fully thats why Lazar went for the fight after a completely legal hit that threw him on the floor but made him land on his shoulder now he has a ligament tear on the thing that fucking holds his shoulder in place when you could've just let that boy heal when he got boarded the first time in November, but noooo we need Jack, put him in, now were not making playoffs anyway and the boy is looking AT SIX MONTHS OF REHAB FOR A SURGERY HE SHOULDVE GOTTEN DONE IN JANUARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR FUCKS SAKE I HATE THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

#sorry #ive been saying this all season #since the first hit #god i hate to even think about it that was legit terrifying #but when he tripped on nothing and instantly was out #i was like hes shoulder is not healed #hes shouldn't be back #and now out of nowhere he missed a game after playing the whole thing against the preds #and now oh has a tear on his labrum on his shoulder and is getting surgery #that didnt fucking happen yesterday #and he is smaller than the average and he is targeted because he's jack hughes #but they just let him play #and now here we are #no playoff and him out for six months #well done #well fucking done #aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #anna talks devils

my apologies if this is out of place on your blog- it's one of the few CPC blogs I know- but am I the only one who feels weird about the whitewashing Frederick's character is going through in fandom right now? like demonizing the CPC (a place literally made of the oppressed) in favor the white, cis, het, oh-so-innocent-and-pure boy? and making it seem like he was completely in the right to be racist to Gwen (unintentional racism is still racism!) and that everything he did was 100% justified and explained.

Again, sorry if I sound like an SJW (can't believe I'm using that term in 2024) but this just really rubs me the wrong way.

NOOOOO I get where you're coming from, you're valid in feeling that way. (also it's totally okay to send me asks! i enjoy talking about cpc :D and i'll do my best to answer them!)

white boy favoritism is definitely a Thing in fandom and. yowch. generally we've seen characters ignorant towards how people on the braided island look where even the cpc thought that gwen was cursed at first (shoutout to molly for being normal about leelathae!). if i remember correctly leelathae's implied that she's human which makes me wonder about the lore... plus I don't really know how defined witches are with their stances in Hashtag Society but i feel like there's probably a social stigma or something there too... are all of them "evil"? are they born witches? do they all have similar traits? Who knows.... and yeahh the braided island inhabitants are a fictional race, but also the coding! the other pastel kids resemble their white father more, and they're technically mixed, while gwen is visibly more like her mother. like being more visibly indigenous or latina but if you were gwen in cpc. which makes me think yk

by definition the cpc is a disabled support group!!. (club my beloved) personally i also like to add queer in there too heh... and also majority of them being women! so they are meant to be representative of the oppressed,, Even if they're all rich princesses. (but i think that's just more because of the setting lol, since they're treated/treat each other like... well... normal people... so i feel like them being rich isn't a point trying to be made. slightly off topic but this is something ive thought of haha) I DO understand what you mean tho and why it rubs you the wrong way. frederick a flawed character that shouldn't be put on a pedestal. same with the others, they're flawed! and i like em. i like frederick! they all grow and change and i like watching their progress! (it does really suck how ignorant the people in universe are though about other races... may be a worldbuilding thing again. i wonder about the other fantasy races in cpc! how different are the wizards and witches seen? and fantasy racism is a whole other topic i don't know if i can bring justice to in a discussion gadiufnhdam)there's a lot that can be argued about how they function and the name and how they treated frederick and tori's argument too but i digress </3 (i'm open to opinions though!) i gotta think more about the worldbuilding and stuff kek

OVERALL!! frederick isn't perfect, the club isn't perfect, but i don't think any of them should be demonized for it because to me that's the whole point!! that nobody's perfect! lol lmao xd welcome to the club yk. imperfect people are just people n stuff

#cursed princess club #cpc meta #cpc confessions #?perhaps... #cpc asks #man i could go for some ritz crackers rn #got those cravings randomly #I DO GET YOU ANON #trying to be unbiased </3 #nobody let me cook #i just see like. frederick's outburst as something that happened that had consequences he didnt expect #very very harmful consequences #like a bunch of circumstances lined up to hurt gwen in the most amplified way #because his throwaway comment snowballed into gwen having this big realization since #1. she's unaware of society's Beauty Standard and 2. she's supposed to marry him lol and 3. her sisters are considered pretty but. #she's apparently not #which SUCKS to be hit with all at once #that something that wasnt even said to her face did this much damage #when frederick didnt actually wanna hurt her

Honestly though I think it’s really a bad sign when I look at Shin Tsukimi and literally feel like he’s a self insert 😩

#the klock keeps ticking #yttd #i wanna replay yttd so bad but i also like Gotta play other stuff with the time i have akskks #but yeah the brainrot this specific character has given me idk if I ever really talked about it but it was BAD #i like obsessively played the game in like 3 days and it was not a good idea lol but just like shin #i had to take like a week to recover from this guy cuz i couldnt stop thinking about him and how hes just like me fr #first off just the very inconsistent personality hes got going on that is very me he has these different personalities he wears to cope with #all the traumatic shit happening hes both so helpless its comical and so manipulative its terrifying #and idk its really interesting how like good and bad he is at being manipulative like hes very smart and can analyze weaknesses and lie so #good not even he knows the truth but hes also grasping at straws he doesnt think things through at all #like the second main game he just didnt prepare at all hes fumbling his way through everything its going so bad #he just wants to go home he wants to outdo the game makers but hes being used by them so bad he wants it to STOP #and its just the way that like. it hits so hard cuz you know hes really not a bad person not at all he doesnt want any of this hes just #being horribly manipulated and doing whatever he can to survive but its also really scary how #well hes able to lie and manipulate and claw his way through but hes also weaker than a grade schooler #and you never forget that either and as much as he cheated his way through he still failed it was all just a cheap trick in the end #and all of this hits very hard like his personality is eerily similar to mine and just the way he thinks and acts #cuz im the same like im weak and a dweeb who likes funny cats but im also emotionally detached and observant and selfish #but where it hits the hardest is his relationship with midori like oooof that one was too real just like #the first person who was ever his friend was horribly abusive and treated him like a child and didnt respect any boundaries #and he just got sick pleasure out of seeing shin be upset and he was like. a groomer #and shin was fucking relieved when he died but also kept his scarf and adopted his personality to survive #and still goes by sou after ch2 and the scene that gets me the most is when shin ai is asked about his relationship with midori #and you can just SEE how horrified shin is because his deepest shame his abuse is being shared to everyone without his consent #and hes reliving it all in that moment and literally seeing who he used to be experiencing the abuse #he just curls into himself and like covers his ears and pulls his hair thats literally what i do AAAAAA #im just so grateful for the direction they took this character kokichi ouma wishes he was shin tsukimi so bad #and yeah just like damn. its scary how similar i am to shin like damn i really am going through it huh oof #I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I WILL DEFEND HIM WITH MY LIFE HE DID ALL OF THAT STUFF YOUR HONOR BUT LISTENNNN #have you considered that hes cute and smart and weird and maybe just needs friends who arent assholes

[alchemiclee]

been looking in tags for a few days now to see if anyone else found the whole high cloud quintet and related story to be a bit.....poorly written, nonsensical, contradictory, full of plot holes and loose ends, etc. apparently i'm not the only one. (and i'm not even talking about shipping stuff, because any time I saw someone mad about bad writing, someone always replies to be homophobic and laugh about failed ships. weirdos.) it could have been so good but was thrown into the garbage for the most part (IF you noticed all the plot holes and contradiction. if not, then it's a fine enough story tbh. I expect most people to see it on surface level and not read all the little hidden lore bits and try to piece it together like my autistic brain did. which is ok! enjoy it if you liked it and ignore me 😆)

#apparently one of the writers did it on purpose. wont explain here. you can find it elsewhere. but it makes sense now #that's why it fell apart and didnt make sense in the end #ive seem people say anyone mad about it is a shipper and thats why. they use it as an excuse to be homophobes #youre gross get out of thos fandom. im here as someone upset about the story who was very skeptical about any ship theories and focused #more on plot theories and overall friendship and stuff so its not even about shipping you het weirdos!!! #the contradictions and plot holes are bd regrdless of who you ship lmao stop reducing it to that #aure its fine if you ignlre those plot holes. but it happened to be the little plot holes that interested me the most so its obvious to me😅 #cant wait until a talented writer in the fandom rewrites the whole story a lot better and fills in the holes and ties up the end better #please someone do this 😭 #lee text #hsr #i just wanted a close found family who met a tragic end #my idea for a better way to write it is dan feng wanted free from the high elder cycle and yingxing helped him create a new elder #but it went wrong and failed because the preceptors fed him wrong info hopong it woukd destroy dan feng since they hated him #instead it was yingxing that died and dan feng selfishly brought him back somehow and thats why hes immortal and hates dan heng now #they created a monster in the process that made a mess and baiheng died trying to kill it maybe but hit its weak spot #so it was weaked enough for jingliu to slay it #maybe for a plot twist jing yuan somehow knew the preceptors were up to something and didnt stop the two because #they were too stubborn and he knew it would do nothing #we know the dragon heart disappeared so either it ended becoming bailu in the end #or it could be inaide blade bow. another fun possible plot twist. they never explained where it went so it coukd be a n y w h e r e #i had other ideas but i forget now. bht baiheng deserves better as well. just being a plot mechanism to make two dudes be stupid #is kinda bland and boring and wasted her character. she deserves better too!!!! #id write this if i had the time and brain power but ill hope someone else does it instead #OH yeah i forgot a big idea. dan feng and yingxing perhaps try to also kill the arbor and end the abundance and long life/reincarnation #and maybe that was one part that led to it all going wrong or something. since yingxing wanted revenge on the abundance for destroying #his home and family???? and dan feng wanted to escape the cycle? similar wants that worked together snd failed #these are all ideas from past theories i read and my own ideas i came up with all of which are better than what that bad writer did! #these are very incomplete ideas that im sure someone else can write better #lee rambles

Ohh so that's where the "she's dead, scar. you won" screenshot that people go insane over comes from feeling really normal about that one 👍

#sorry but the way he didnt even realise hed won #theres LIGHTNING it's not exactly subtle but he keeps hunting he keeps going for the kill #and then grian tells him shes dead. he won #and he stops. he starts laughing and it sounded surprisingly close to crying #he stands still in shock while a zombie hits him over and over and he does nothiny #he didnt want to kill pearl. he refused to turn on her until they were the only players left #'how did this happen?' he asked 'how did the guy with no friends win' #well he killed th only friend he had left #as happened time and again in the season. every ally he made he eventually turned on for a task or because he wanted to win #but he wanted allies he wanted friends #and he didnt even realise it was over when it was. he was still going #and he goes back to the secret keeper and succeeds his task. and he gets a new book #what does it way? 'win secret life' #as if it's never truly over as if scar never truly won as if it keeps going forever with no rest no peace #im so ill right now #secret life #what the fuck... ough #storytelling masterpiece and it was like. improv but even less planned than improv #girl

I never tried the option myself bc it'd probably mean skipping the Reason You Suck speech at the end (fire for speedrunners though) but I Love that you can frame your Phoneys in 3, especially so if you've already killed the previous two. Like yeah couldn't send you off to die so i'll let the goverment do it for me 🧸 like its just Peak evil imo.

#luly talks #i do relinquish in the pain and the agony but dont get me wrong the thought of any of them 3 getting jailed makes me SO sad #rog esp since he's the one im writing about and the biggest nerve wreck #gingi voice they'll be the last one to pick the board game for prison-game-night.......... #actually yknow i wonder if rog would end up almost believing it after all when you try to gaslight him for the shits and giggles #(as in: telling HE was victim of the bite of 87 and the like) he tells you to not do that bc his brain is already scrambled or something #so there's a chance perhaps he'd believe it if he had everyone constantly accussing him of it? #not like it'd matter much i have no hopes for the dsaf justice system i know its been 35 years since jack got framed but still #i just remembered when the option popped up i said ''god im really becoming steven 😭'' #first time i made the joke too was when i said ''imagine your boss sucks so bad you turn suicidal'' no clue what the context was #OH YEAH JAKE SAYING HE'D RATHER FUCKING DIE THAN KEEP WORKING HERE yeah. poor guy. #anyway im derailing my own post again uhhh. yeah. yeah i dont trust any phoney is avoiding the death sentence #dsaf #roger jones #dsaf roger #btw just for the sake of yapping longer i truly cant decide whether harry or jake would survive better in the enviroment #probably jake to be honest. I mean Harry has a lot of experience inside freddy's but he didnt really live outside it muhc #jake is so confrontational though #hey did you guys watch the hit movie felon? sure that guy wasn't framed but. i feel like jake would end up w that attitude #except for. you know. everything else that happens in the hit movie felon. #hey actually forget about this game go watch the 10/10 movie Felon from 2008 starring Val Kilmer and Stephen Dorff #because its one of my all time fave movies and probably the saddest i've seen #not bc there arent movies that are more tragic but bc no movie was able to break thru my walls of idgaf and make me cry anyway #yeah you thought i couldnt bring up my movie fixations on my different fandom posts well you were WRONG in fact #im gonna go tag my other post i left untagged yesterday bc my ass was Cooking

god bless my professor i love that woman so much

#im fucking. shaken up by what happened earlier. it scared me more than i realized at the time #hockey is a dangerous fucking sport. i didnt even see the kid get hurt but watching them get him on a gurney and wheel him out #with a neck brace and an iv just. god. he’s 19 years old. he’s a teenager. he’s still in critical condition right now. #going back through the footage i got isnt really helping and i know i can’t do proper voiceover work right now or i’ll sound like a child #emailed my prof abt the sitch and she is. the kindest woman in the world and offered an extension despite the policy being 24 hours advance #and it’s due in two hours. yet she gave me another full day. im gonna cry #i need to go to bed. i just. i feel sick to my stomach about the poor kid and about this assignment. #it just didn’t hit me that it can happen to people i know and love and seeing the ambulance pull up to the rink i just about ran inside #trying to make sure it wasnt one of mine. but that didnt even matter. #god. why do people still play hockey. i dont think i could ever manage. #i might honestly need to take a break from even watching hockey for a little bit. ill see how i feel in the morning #right now i feel like crying though. gonna go do that. #oetteryaps

Me watching the og Trigun anime after starting trigun stampede 2 moths ago: oh gee those fucking cries sound so realistic and full of pain and hurt. You just dont get that kind of genuine quality very much in newer animes. I hope Stampede delivers the same quality

#trigun stampede #The og trigun anime got intense but stampede really hits a whole other level #ooh god #the manga is gonna wreck me just as bad isnt it #on one hand im actually thankful for once to have a whole week to just. process and internalize what the fuck just happened #but on the other hand i want vash to be ok so bad. i want him to get a nice hug and a couple boxes of donuts #and far the fuck away from his brother #Nai I love you honey but What the Ever Loving Fuck are you doing #Someone oughta shoot this guy #Episode 11 freaked me out so much #the body horror? yea ok i can deal with that #its disturbing but like i was expecting it to get worse on that front #the whole. Vash's situation? #im so uncomfortable and thoroughly disturbed #THE GIANT REM PLANT THOUGH #ALSO SOMEONE POINTED OUT WOLFWOOD DIDNT DISSAPEAR INTO THE GERANIUMS AND AND AND #THAT SCENE WHERE THEY MADE IT LOOK LIKE VASH HEARD HIM FROM HIS MINDSPACE?! #Im picking these things apart and rubbing my grimey bloody little hands all over them

IN HALF??? #jesus christ he couldnt have done that earlier #so no haki??? #what the hell is that then #i think the problem is that zoro respected kuina bc she was better than him. and like thats his standard to respecting women.... #and as he gets better it gets harder to reach lmao #zoro hates sanji so much bc deep down he is the same #... omg #also tashigi end his ass!!! wdym he lets you have the credit. cut him in half hamburger style #luffys climbing technique.... interesting to say the least... #talking tag #watching one piece #episode 613

95% of those first three episodes were absolutely perfect, but I am genuinely really sad that Gilmore’s injuries were from an impersonal “Thordak lit a whole city block on fire and collapsed his shop on top of him” and not because Shaun Gilmore, absolute madman and brave motherfucker, decided to start a duel with an ancient red greatwyrm over Uriel’s dead body because he had run back towards the dragons after losing sight of his friends and needing to know they had made it out safely. I understand cutting things and streamlining for the show, but man, that moment in the campaign gave such a beautiful depth to Gilmore’s character, and I feel like something really special was lost there.

#tlovm spoilers #i've been wanting to see that duel animated since i learned there was gonna be an animated show #bc i thought it would give the opportunity for a pov switch we couldnt get in the campaign #and i am very glad we got the injured gilmore scene at all! dont get me wrong! that was lovely #but honestly it just didnt hit quite as hard as it did in the campaign #and i think it's bc of the way he got hurt #it took away the depth #shaun gilmore is a multidimensional character in the campaign #they simplified him for the show. which is fine that has to happen at least a little #but that shallowness could have been avoided by the duel #anyway fdsjfhjk

hsmtmts you couldve been such a good show..........

#crunchyposts #hsmtmts #genuinely mourning how good it couldve been but they just got hit with so many scheduling conflicts like #covid and actors being unavailable etc etc horrible circumstances and then also just chose to make it bad after that lol #ive genuinely read fic of the show better than season 1 which is my favorite season and is still flawed #rini slowburn throughout the entire show........ we (ie me a rini fan) couldve had it all #ashlyn realizing shes bi without needing to break up with her boyfriend and same for big red but i know what happens in s4 #without even seeing it i heard what fucking happened and im pissed #ricky couldve developed better coping skills w/o needing to immediately break him and nini up again #either dont make them get together after s1 or stretch it out for longer so its not so jarring #i wanna rewatch s1 now :(((( and i wanna reread i bet theres other reasons i warm your heart #btw this post is from a rini fan pov but i do realize that with the way ricky was written it wouldve been best if they didnt end up togethe #i just liked them. and like to believe that they couldve worked it out at some point while also helping ricky get better #maybe instead of. immediately in s1 going for nini he works out his issues which gives him confidence to ask her out again pleaseeeeee #also coming at this from a slow burn childhood friends to lovers fan pov so obviously i am biased and its just what i wouldve liked most #not necessarily what would be objectively best for the show
