i'm losing my fucking mind. modern computing is tragic. everything as a service that requires 10x the personal information it actually needs to function, served up by laggy scripts, users treated as entirely incapable, the gradual cutting out of support for anything not provided by the Amazons and Googles and Microsofts of this world, error messages not worth a damn, UI that cares more about being "sleek" and "modern" than providing a good UX, you pay for shit and they still serve you ads, fewer and fewer things work offline, even pseudo-anonymity is dead.
the worst part ? it's seen as normal. people my age and a little younger who forgot how computing was even 10 years ago. teens who never knew a world where you didn't put your face on everything and live track your precise location 24/7. and it's not their fault. they're victims too but it's normal for them.
it's not even paranoia at this point. it's fucking exhaustion. i don't want a thousand interconnected things overcomplicating everything. i want simple shit that works. and i don't care if i sound like a boomer. i'm right on this.

Thinking about Lewis, Seb and Alonso being certified ruthless cunts and sore losers and then still being ruthless cunts and sore losers but hiding it underneath a thick layer of Actually Having Fun And Enjoying Themselves.
Aging doesn't take the hunger away but allows you to look at it with some level of fondness rather than greedy fury or some shit like that. In yourself but also maybe in others.

MY GOD THE LAES EPISODE CRYING CRYING CRYING SO MANY THINGS
Earth is just so shaken, she says she’s okay right now but it’s clear she doesn’t quite know what to do about all of this, and I don’t think suddenly having a new body to really hit it home that she got destroyed is helping very much. I hope for her sake the new clothing and size adjustment features bring her some joy- y’know, soften the blow a bit, give her something to like about her new body. I also hope she acknowledges that she needs support right now, rather than brushing off her own feelings and continuing to try to be the others’ support like always.
(Looks to me like her new model is based more on Ninja’s art of her, which is neat. Very pretty. Gotta admit though, I’m kinda sad her proportions were changed. I really liked how (for lack of a better word, forgive me) thick she was- it just made her look so soft and comfy to hug. Reminded me of my mum’s proportions, which probably influenced my opinion in that regard lol. Alas. Don’t get me wrong, I still like her new look very much, she looks like a cheerleader and it’s great, but still. Large Earth will always live on in my heart.)
Moon seems like he’s this close to just snapping. He just wants to protect his family but things just keep happening to them and he’s not able to do anything about it. Bloodmoon is in BIG trouble, I’ll bet.
(For context, I wrote this before watching the TSAMS episode. Guess I was right.)
Lunar, oh honey- they feel so guilty about this, about not being able to help her. Just everything about their reaction, from their shocked silence over the phone to latching on to Earth the second they saw her, not even caring about the new look, just latching on and practically sobbing “I’m sorry.”
Sun just lowkey broke my heart. His tiny, quiet comment about the possibility of this being a different Earth- I can see why he’d be so worried about that, it’s exactly what happened to Moon, and Lunar to an extent. Earth looking different from how she used to would be far from reassuring in that regard, possibly even being the thing that made him think of the possibility in the first place. He was so scared he had to make sure, had to ask her if she still likes Barbie, one of the most constant parts of Earth, because he can’t go through that again. God, ALL of his siblings have died at some point, he’s lost them all in one way or another and now his fear of history repeating itself once again is rearing its ugly head and he’s scared and my heart is BREAKING GODDAMMIT ;-;
WHY MUST THIS FAMILY GO THROUGH SUCH HELL
I vote they have an off-screen movie night or something- all of them, Earth, Moon, Lunar, Sun, Monty, Solar, all just being together for a while doing something simple and easy. Let them just exist in the comfort of each other’s presences, give them some time to process that they’re all here, all alive, all safe for the moment. Let them switch off for a bit and reset their emotions before facing anything else. God knows they ALL need it.

I mean I stand by what I said re bg3 and I understand and I'm not surprised and all. it's just. I guess I'm getting very emotional over it being over because. I haven't looked forward to a game as much ever before in my life. and I don't think I ever will. there's no game or piece of media in my life that affected me like bg3 did. it helped me become a better, healthier person. and it's super important to me and it's just. bittersweet. I understand the decision and I'm not mad or disappointed I'm just sad. because I feel empty. because I feel like I have nothing else to look forward to in life. and idk idk it's just. sad. I'm getting very emotional over it this evening but that's just me. when I feel something I feel it very strongly and this game is more than just a game to me. so it being over and all is. bittersweet. I know all good things must end but it doesn't mean there will be no sadness.
