Season finale spoilers-

Thoughts on why Izzy’s death didn’t really sit right with me.

I really and truly do not like either the “kill your redeemed antagonists” or the “kill your mentors because the mentee has ‘nothing’ left to learn from them” troupes. Now that we have confirmation that the later is what he was going for, it adds an extra layer to the death, and that’s that

Izzy was right

Izzy admits in his death speech, and we as the viewer see that part of what drove Izzy to act the way he did in trying to encourage Ed to be Blackbeard is that he was scared of losing Ed, scared he would outlive his usefulness, scared that if he wasn’t helping Blackbeard Ed wouldn’t need him, and with the life he lived, to not be needed is to be dead. Those who outlive their usefulness get sent to doggy heaven. It felt like his arc this season was about proving this wrong. That he didn’t need to useful to Ed to deserve to live. That he can find meaning and friendship, if only he lets go of this fear.

And then the writer killed him because he… outlived his usefulness to Ed. To kill a character because you love the “mentor dies when they have nothing left to teach” troupe feels bad when the mentors arc was largely about ‘what do you do when you feel like you aren’t useful anymore in the same way you were. How do you find purpose?’

Maybe some people love this and think it adds to the drama of the death, but it’s really not for me.

How should v1’s arms be drawn?

Gameplay accurate (left) or more “balanced”?

Shoulders are slightly staggered down on both, also color coded for visual clarity

#I’m still learning how to draw them #i never draw mechanics either so it’s a learning process #I was running out of pose ideas for the arms sorry #ultrakill #ultrakill v1 #my art #art #fanart #honestly they’re probably stored in the wings #but I love multi-armed characters

OK GENLOSS THOUGHTS LETS GO

as lots of people are saying I reckon this episode was supposed to give us an idea of how the show is “supposed” to run, and that’s partly why it was so silly and goofy. the eerier bits were all about things that aren’t “supposed” to happen.

in terms of plot it seems ranboo has been kidnapped by showfall and is being mind-controlled by us as sort of “players”. he comments once or twice about not knowing why he’s doing something or not being in full control, and occasionally appears to become more lucid (a few people have pointed out that the mask flashes at these points). basically ranboo is being used as a videogame character to entertain the masses by showfall media.

i cannot figure sneeg out, he’s clearly not being mind controlled seeing he “cheats” with the scissors and also doesn’t have any mask to suggest he’s under control, plus we don’t get to control him at all. I’m thinking perhaps he was an earlier main character test that made showfall realise they need more control over them.

Somethings up with charlie and idk what. if showfall is going “hey lets get these internet personalities to be our unwilling characters in this game” it would make sense for why he’s got the slime motifs and all that. BUT how can they be sure he’s doing what they want him to? perhaps he is affected by slime the same way sneeg was? maybe showfall figured out a way to use slime to control him? much to think about.

there’s also the possibility that it’s just not that deep but i do think it’s supposed to give the impression that the entire thing is happening in our world and isn’t scripted or anything. that’s why i love the choice to act it all out live, it doesn’t just allow for more interaction, it is literally a live broadcast of an game featuring fun “characters”. I really hope there’s some deeper meaning in that, about the treatment of people as entertainment without thought for their own health and wellbeing, and the way entertainers often have to play a caricature of themselves to appease their audience.

i know a lot of people have been talking about a face reveal in genloss and given the mask is linked to controlling ranboo and they literally cannot take it off right now i see it going one of 3 ways;

1. he takes the mask off and we get a face reveal (doubt)

2. he takes the mask off BUT they’re wearing another mask underneath. seems like something they’d do

3. he doesn’t get the mask off. we lost. ranboo is stuck under the control of showfall media with only short periods of lucidity. ranboo said at one point that we should be left with a feeling of dread. maybe there’s no escape. what’s more terrifying than doing everything right and still being doomed?

ok that’s all i can think of for now sorry it’s a long post but idk how to add a read more on mobile ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. i’ll edit this if i think of anything else i guess?

edit: this is blowing up i have genloss art in my pinned and plans to make more 👀

edit 2: @pinkpuffballdude ‘s tags reminded me!!! i had completely forgotten to talk about sneeg being awake and staring with dead eyes through the whole sleep part. THAT was creepy. It made me think of NPCs to be honest, the way he wasn’t able to do anything but being forced to witness everything happening, not being able to sleep without a bed. I don’t know how to explain it right now and i’ll come back here if i figure it out. BUT he also talks about refusing to do the cooking show which is the main thing that got me thinking he was a past mc who’s been locked away. also aligns with his “the taken” name in The Game.

#genloss #generation loss #ranboo #sneegsnag #charlie slimecicle #slimecicle #i’m honestly still processing this #can’t wait for it to get creepy and gorey tho #hope ranboo is alright too - he seems alright so hopefully just something the doctors can patch up real quick #goose.txt

You guys wanna know which moment in Atlas Complex actually made me break down? Like, up to this point I had been screeching and cursing and laughing and at some point my heart was just hurting in this dull way that makes everything feel numb. But the point at which I actually started SOBBING VIOLENTLY and ugly crying was the last Reina chapter. Specifically the last page or so. Maybe it was just the compiled sense of doom up to that point or the little sliver of an understated sense of hope and optimism that it gave me. It was so painful and precious and we need to talk about it more in my opinion.

#generally #Reina and parisa #they were possibly the best thing abut this book to me #I’m still processing honestly so i can‘t really talk about it yet #but they hit different #it just got so personal for me #parisa kamali #Reina mori #the atlas complex #the atlas complex spoilers #tac spoilers #the atlas six

All morning and into this afternoon the weather was showing a nor’easter hitting my area dropping about 8-12inches of snow for tomorrow. We got the text the office would be closed tomorrow due to the storm. Cue to now when the weather people are all baffled because the trajectory took a crazy turn and now we may barely get 4 inches 😂

Oh well I’ll take a free day off.

#we won’t be paid for it but honestly I don’t even care #with everything going on I could use another day for my mental health #I’ll probably write about what’s going on soon I’m just trying to process it all still

At the beginning when the guys are just getting to know each other, Mike and Davy get into a fight (something silly and easily avoidable, but they don’t really know each other yet and they’re suddenly living in very close quarters, tensions are high). Mike loses his temper and starts yelling (he hasn’t learned to regulate his emotions yet and is used to yell or be yelled at). Davy (who’s the newest to the group and not used to being surrounded by this much testosterone (see: 3 sisters)) gets lowkey terrified since Mike is a lot bigger than him and is extremely scary when mad. Davy’s eyes start to water and he’s kinda frozen in fear and doesn’t know what to do (the others don’t step in because they’re also unsure and its the first big fight in the Pad) and begins to (unwantedly) regress. Mike notices this and is kinda like ‘oh shit’ and immediately calms down and is trying to apologise but it’s too late and Davy’s in tears. Mike has to comfort him and soothe him and from then on the rest is history.

AAAAH OH MY GOODNESS!!

#asks #the monkees #mike and davy gain so much trust and honestly they all do. they all learn. #i’m a big believer in the monkees strongly believing in consent. I cite this to the 90s special where micky says “’no thanks’ when he thinks #davy asks him for a kiss (i still think it’s crazy this was written by mike nesmith) but like micky can just say no thanks! and it’s all #cool and chill and groovy! #just from living with each other and learning from each other the boys learn how to navigate all of their individual limits #it’s a learning process that never stops but they all love each other so much and try so hard for a healthy relationship between the four #of them (be that relationship platonic familial or strictly professional music buddies take your pick but in all of those aspects they make #it work) #i love the monkees so much 😭 😭 😭 #sweet davy poor thing #as mike gets older he learns more and more and gets so gentle and mellow #he’s the best to take a nap on top of on the couch #all three other monkees agree on this

had a little bit of a freak out #moment and rearranged my entire room

#the thought process being #i hate it here so much and i can’t control that until school is over #but what i CAN control #is laboriously moving around every single piece of furniture in my room #honestly i’m a little pissed i feel like i finally unlocked what the vibe of the room should be #and now i’m moving out in two months :/ #the ‘moment’ in question was spread out over two days and so many hours of sweat #and an hour round trip drive to work to get my tool bag instead of spending money on a new drill battery charger for the 1 drill i had hlme #and it’s still not done #it’s done being reorganized it’s just not all put away quite yet. it just looks like my room is messy again #even though the process was clean > move furniture > put stuff away #but the last step is being delayed…… there’s stuff in my floor #also did i do laundry during all of this? the chore i need to do most desperately? certainly not

my ticket finally came!! 🩷

#i rarely have to use my full english name unless it’s stuff like this that i have to verify myself #and it always reminds me just how long it is ajshsbsjsk #like especially in korea but honestly even by like american standards #think it’s like 26 characters total including the two spaces since i have to do my first middle and last name 😅 #long ass line blacking it out taking up half the ticket #diamond life #anyways story time! #no one knows the stress interpark has put me through in the process of actualy receiving this ticket…. #was supposed to be mailed out like within a week of buying it #took forever to do that #Then they finally did like sometime last week and said expect it to come 3-5 days #and it came thru the post office and i was like okay probably next week because they don’t deliver on weekends #or so i thought #anyways that was like thursday i think? then i get a text like friday afternoon #saying oh we tried to call you to come deliver the ticket (bc i have to sign for it) but you didn’t answer so #even though i did not have a single call that wasn’t a saved number all day #so i immediately called the number that texted me and they were like well it’s too late to come today #(it was like 4pm) #and it’s about to be the weekend so we’ll come on monday just make sure you answer the phone this time #even though they literally never called me in the first place 🙄 #pretty sure they were just pretending so they could go home early on a friday ahsjsks #but the thing was. i wasn’t even expecting it until this upcoming week so they could have just waited and i never would have known #ANYWAYS so i was like okay fine i’ll make sure someone is here to get it on monday #tell me why i slept in bc it’s sunday and i don’t have rehearsal and i was woken up by a call #they’re like i’ll be coming to deliver your ticket in about an hour! #like it is literally sunday and you said you couldn’t deliver on weekends…..but whatever i was like oh 네 감사합니다 you know #then dude came like. 5 mins later i’m still basically half asleep and look like a mess #but anyways none of that really matters now bc i finally have my ticket but #it put me through so much unnecessary stress bc i’m always paranoid about stuff like this until i have it physically in my hand #even though i knew it was gonna come and be okay

just noticed something

it’s all “body positivity” until someone that’s on the skinnier side has their own complaints about their body. Fat shaming isn’t close to skinny shaming, I recognize that. But please at least think, “hm, is saying that I don’t believe that you eat a rude thing to say? Is it creepy to say how easy it would be to beat them up or kidnap them?” Think that and not, “you’re fucking skinny, you’ve been the beauty standard. You have no right to be upset when all I’ve been told was to look like you.”

I’ll be honest. Being told to eat a cheeseburger sucks, but it probably sucks less than a bigger person being told to eat a salad.

#Tw: Body shaming #fat shaming #skinny shaming #I have always been skinny but I was constantly told to gain weight to be desirable #Not that I want people to desire anything with me #but the point still stands #My weight and body are out of my control as it is how my body processes food #Same thing with other peoples bodies and weights #IM NOT BEING FATPHOBIC IM JUST TRYING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SOMETHIN IN MY PERSPECTIVE #I HONESTLY WISH I WAS ON THE BIGGER SIDE BECAUSE I HATE SEEING MY BONES THROUGH MY SKIN AND SOME OF MY HEALTH ISSUES MIGHT GO AWAY #but if anyone tries to say that I’m body shaming ANYBODY #They can kiss my nonbinary black and hispanic ass for that dumbass take

this is super random and not important but one time i was hanging with a buddy and trying to tell them about a cool experience i had while hanging out with other people and they didn’t seem enthused so i was like “it was really cool !” and they replied “well forgive me if i’m not over the moon about the fact that you had fun with someone other than me” and that’s when i learned that was the most manipulative and toxic person i had ever accidentally befriended

#like the friendship itself wasn’t ALL bad by any means #and we still see each other and hang out occasionally #but i try not to do anything one on one and honestly every time we do they just exhibit more weird and manipulative behavior #it’s a bummer because we were super close last year but i’ve taken some time to put some distance between us #after several similar and weird comments in a row #and the more i look back the more uncomfortable our entire relationship was #so in truth i’m happier now #but still adjusting and processing honestly #anyway this is very pointless but i didn’t know where else to put it #personal
