I don't get what there is to be obsessive about with Dragons Rising. I am in awe that the show has been trending this long. I just can't get into it. I've yet to find something to really latch onto. My biggest fear is that I'm just falling out of the ninjago fandom. And that would be heartbreaking, because I've been so thoroughly invested for so long. But I suppose it's possible. But I don't get it anymore. Things people absolutely adore, I just find passably functional. The less screen time a character gets, the more I like them. I can't remember what even happened this season, and I just watched it 2 days ago. And I can't put my finger on it. I don't know why. I don't know why Dragons Rising doesn't have more of an impact on me. Like I see people so ready to call this one of the best seasons of ninjago content and I just... stare. Wondering what it is that they see that I just can't. Like I'm colorblind. Why do people find this so beautiful? It's fine enough, I guess.
My best theory right now is that the old series always had this hot mess quality about it that was absolutely captivating. It made it so unbearably bad at times, but it made it a wonder to talk about, and think about, and dig in to. And while Dragons Rising is much more competent on so many levels, it's also not particularly groundbreaking or excellent at much, at least not from my perspective. The colors are oversaturated, the character arcs are pretty standard, the dialogue is very straight forward, the plot moves at a predictable rhythm. There's so much going on, but it feels like hardly anything actually gets done. Each episode ends with a cliff hanger that turns out not to be that interesting once you get three minutes into the next episode. We've introduced a large array of new characters, none of which do I particularly need to see again. There are a large plethora of mystery boxes sitting around which I simply can not bring myself to care about. It's a well constructed show. It's sound. It makes sense. It is very well executed. Grade A quality. It just doesn't have... something. And I'm just not sure what.
the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
Ok I am going to do this simply because the first thing I will put here I NEED to do it and I have 0 motivation to do it even though it is EXTREMELY important
In fact, I think that's the reason why I don't want to do it... anyway
If this gets to 30 notes, I do that thing ✅️
50 notes, I call to ask if my doctor's appointment has been scheduled (I've been avoiding it for two weeks now) ✅️
100 notes, I go wash my shoes that have long needed washing and are just sitting there, existing, waiting for me to deign to wash them. ✅️
200 notes, I finish organizing my room (I organized it halfway and then left a bunch of things that still don't have a defined place) ✅️
500 notes, I use the things I have to bleach and color my hair. The only thing that has stopped me is the fear of doing it wrong or being too lazy to maintain it.
1k notes, I stop doing things that I know will trigger my chronic pain with the pure intention of confirming that the pain was indeed real (don't do this. 0 recommended) ✅️
5k notes, I try some new food without fear of wasting money by buying something I most likely won't like (my autism hates new foods) ✅️
10k notes, I wear my bi flag earrings in front of someone I wouldn't usually wear them with. I trust that they possibly wouldn't have a problem with me being bi, but I would never get up the courage to tell them anything ✔️ (I haven't, but that person was in my room next to where the earrings are. They were 0% hidden)
20k notes, wtf I have absolutely no idea. If it comes to this, ehhh... Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing here. Do I promise to be honest in therapy and stop telling them that everything is perfect even though nothing has ever been perfect? Yeah, that probably works. Please don't go this far, I don't know how to do this. Maybe I should... but... it would be awful to learn it
April 2024: I stop procrastinating editing this post with the things I've already done. I WANT THE HAIR SO MUCH BUT IT'S SO DIFFICULT

i will never forgive popular UT fanon for using chara as a scapegoat in the genocide run and making "sans recognizes them and attacks them on sight regardless of what run they're in" headcanons so pervasive.
mostly because "restless spirit of a long dead child who's obsessed with the concept of cosmic retribution and facing consequences for your actions" + "guy whose job is just that but he treats it on par with his hot dog sidegig" is potentially one of the most hysterical dynamics you could come up with
UPDATE: you should REALLY check out the notes on this one
