#just innocent every day things

[good-beans]

I know most of our focus goes (rightfully) to the trial songs, but I genuinely believe Baptism of Fire is equally a masterpiece of meaningful writing and intense vocal acting

Incoming tag rant because I need to yell about this, feel free to yell back

#milgram #fuuta kajiyama #like the other vds have good writing about the character and whatever social issue their crime focuses on #but this one is very pointedly about YOU #its about the audience. its about the milgram project. its about self reflection. its about self-appointed roles. its about you #even if you didnt vote t1 or anything the whole things is calling on you to reflect on your own judgements of others #how you treat people who come off rougher. how you treat people who have made a (bad but) common mistake. #do you also find entertainment in seeing people dragged down and suffering because it would 'serve them right?' #but es always remains in control of the situation. the drama doesnt end with 'and fuuta was right - you guys suck!' #its clarified that situations are different and have nuance. we are reminded to look at things with nuance. #then we are smoothly re-immersed in the story #and then!! the acting itself!!! #arthur lounsbery put his whole fussy into that performance (<- fuuta pussy) and i am in his debt every day for it #in both his vds hes just super expressive and fun to listen to #i dont understand japanese but he packs so much interesting intonation and emotion into every word -- im obsessed listening to him #he nails all the subtle emotions fuuta has: the pouts and outrage as well as underlying fear grief insecurity and immaturity #and then baptism of fire hes just... Wailing #like mahiru has her innocent and pathetic cries of pain in her sweet voice that works for her character but fuutas pain feels much more raw #the way hes practically sobbing at the end -- his voice cracking and screeching throughout -- the whimper of pain #its so unbearably intense!! it hurts!! and its supposed to!! but hes just so raw with it #and dont even get me started on his pained hysteric laughter omg.... #its just. a masterpiece. #i always appreciate the vds but i dont think ive enjoyed/relistened to one as much as this one #okay WAIT im back to add one more thing because im obsessed with ths idea of intentions #specifically in milgram i think the intention behind the murders are very important to consider #so i love love love the huge focus on 'i didnt expect/mean for this to happen' #plus as a general theme in fiction i think its sooo juicy when good intentions get fucked up #so i loved the repetition of that #fuuta is such a special case because he genuinely had no desire or expectation for his victim to die #(maybe kazui too? but he doesn't say so in his vd like fuuta does)

not to be true crime posting on main but i think i'm falling down the wm3 rabbit hole again

#xenia.txt #when i tell you this case keeps me up at night to this day #not even the murders themselves as much as the general public's reception to and opinions on the case 3 decades later like #i get why it;s always been so divisive especially after the pl docus came out (lots of opinions on those btw none of them are good #from the bottom of my heart fuck you joe berlinger and bruce sinofsky) #but it's truly baffling how no one is willing to do the research on what is arguably THE most well documented true crime case in recent #history like. everything that's ever been released to the general public is available online and i mean everything #you can find all the court files trial transcripts depositions interogation tapes aerial photos you name it it's out there for anyone with #internet connection to access at any and all hours of the day #and yet people are still foaming at the mouth fighting on reddit abt their innocence based off nothing but a couple of movies like #bffr with me right now!! almost every point the innocenters make can be easily debunked by scrolling through callahan for 15 minutes #'but they've been pushing for dna testing since their release so they can't be guilty' baby the case is closed! #it's been closed the second they took the plea. they can be striking under that courthouse and it still won't change a thing and they knowi #that's why they're pushing for it in the first place but that's just my opinion #^ and i say they but it's really only echols which makes a lot of sense to me personally #and if you want to talk abt dna testing let's talk abt the one that was done in 2011 and how the defense hurried to propose the plea as soo #as they got the results! let's talk abt those cause no one's ever seen them and i would very much like to #braga share the results the people want to know!! #makes me wonder which pieces of evidence they even submitted for that 2011 testing because if i'm remembering correctly #there was one that would've closed this case instantly and maybe that's why the results were never disclosed and the plea was rushed #but that's also just my opinion #and it's also interesting how the majority of people who have in fact deep dived into this case #(and i'm not talking abt big true crime youtubers as i'm very sceptical abt their research abilities) #all collectively lean towards guilty. much to think about #i was hoping someone would make another ~actually~ unbiased documentary for the 30th anniversary and go over all the case files #but i don't think that's even realistic at this point seeing as everyone and their mother has some sort of an opinion on this case #hbo deserves another lawsuit for this. they should've never won the first one in the first place #true crime tw

Observe: this is the face of a man who does not want to spend his day selling/changing/collecting money for water filters

For the love of god woman just give me my money and stop with the water filter crap

#i get that tifa wants to keep him close and keep and eye on him #because honestly this is only like 2 hours into the game #and already his hallucinations have posed a threat to innocent members of the public #i'm side eyeing you marco #and also he's clearly a danger to himself #but honestly all this water filters and cats and bullshit #makes me question the wisdom of my new replay #you know i'm a busy person and all #i feel his pain #because i have a job where every day things happen that make me go #ffs i got a degree from one of the world's top universities for THIS?! #ALSO #what the hell are they doing wrong in terms of managing that bar yhat the water filter thing makes more money? #that bar should be a gold mine all things considered #that bit wasn't about my job by the way #just got carried away #cloud strife #mercenary by day brita salesman by night #final fantasy vii remake #ffviir #ff7 remake #ffvii remake #ff7 #ffvii #final fantasy vii #final fantasy 7

Do you ever think maybe the reason Naruto got away with so many big pranks wasn’t because he was stealthy enough to avoid the ANBU, but because his ANBU guard had seen how he was treated and at some point was like “Actually, you know what? He can have a bit of revenge. As a treat.”

#idk about Kakashi and Minato’s ANBU guard #but if I had to watch an innocent child get abused and ostracized every day by everyone around him #I’d probably let the kid get away with harmless pranks for revenge too #especially if that kid was the son of someone I cared and respected deeply #And ESPECIALLY if that kid was a jinchuuriki that could get revenge in much more violent ways #maybe the ANBU just looked at Suna’s jinchuuriki and where like… u know what #if vandalizing things prevents him from becoming a murderous psychopath he can go fuckin wild #anyways #Naruto #Naruto Shippuden #Naruto Uzumaki

this may not make sense to you but it makes sense to me

(Seph, Dominica and Diro circa chapter 2)

#basically domnica is a shapeshifter but seph hasnt clocked it yet #and shes a gaslight gatekeep girlboss she loves to cause chaos for no reason #every day is a good day for some mayham in her book #this is probably the most harmless/innocent thing shes done to cause her beloved chaos #also seph is really irritable and aggressive in this part of the story and she just loves riling him up #esp since he and diro hate each other #she just causes a problem sits back and watches them tear into each other #also also her shapeshifter markings are not visible for most of these panels cuz she hides at first #but i added them in the last panel #also also also i still havent decided if the reddish-brown/blue color combo is her NATURAL eyecolor or if its something else #but i think its very in character for her that i #the mf that created her #doesnt even know what her natural eye color is #its what she would have wanted #tendebill ocs #tendebill art #ocs #doodles #queue

mom telling me about how she essentially bragged to a job interviewer about how my brother "set the path" for me and how i learned to do things so quickly because of him:

me wanting to have my own fucking accomplishments for once and wanting to have some aspect of my life not be tied to him:

#i cant even really deny it like yeah its probably true that i wouldnt have been such a smart kid without him #and even now i tend to follow his example but #everything is about him. everything #i cant just be a smart kid. im specifically smart because of him. #every aspect of my life revolves around my brother #im never gonna fucking be better than him #never #nothing i ever achieve will be as good as what hes done #i was so excited. honestly. when i got accepted to my 4year #the same day i told my parents i got accepted #to minor fanfare #my brother came over and talked about a promotion he got #which they were distinctly more excited about #i was so worried about my 4year if i didnt get accepted i didnt know what i was gonna do so #seeing them be so flippant about it was so upsetting #and then for them to start congratulating him and acting like its the best thing to ever happen #it sucked #theres a million examples #im never gonna be good enough #im never gonna be better than him #i am always going to exist in his shadow #i dont even blame him for it. hes just doing his thing living his life #he has achieved a lot and im happy for him #its our parents really #i mean hes not innocent either he has the same anger issues that everyone in our family does #i dont think he really respects me or sees my concerns with the weight i see them with #sometimes i wonder if he even likes me #he never wanted a sister #♡ . ameposting #♡ . vents

anti fict people are like catholic fujoshis

#you still participate in fandom and ship characters and such and literally MOSTLY ship queer things #so like youre literally a fujoshi fudanshi whatever #but like youre Catholic about it because you think you're going to moral purity heaven over policing others entertainment #but at the end of the day are you really proud of the sin you commit by being in love with your sex or do actually hate lgbt people (you do) #like every proship fujoshi i know is so open minded and full of love for everyone and even holds compassion for antis. #but every anti i know has discourse over aroace people and if its right for trans people to call themselves transsexual or like #lesbians calling themselves faggots or using he/him #you are not radically loving and accepting others when you send anon hate or death threats or doxxing people btw #you are putting innocent artists and writers and already traumatized people into therapy because theyre afraid of being hurt by strangers #literally thanks to the additude you carry which is your own catholic guilt #not to mention NONE of these people actually care about children just like the fascist conservatives you embody. #get a job you fucking NEETs

i don’t care that rhaenyra’s oldest are illegitimate not bc i’m a targ stan who thinks she can do no wrong but because legitimacy is a social construct that does nothing more than enforce the patriarchy and class system, and rhaenyra having kids out of wedlock with a man she is consenting to sex with is fine, actually, and if you’re hung up on that it is my opinion that you are clinging to the rules of propriety and patriarchy when analyzing her because you think she should be punished for having sex outside marriage and not like, all the things she actually does that are morally wrong, which is like, textbook misogyny.

“but the lords” so the thing is i don’t give a shit if the lords think she’s a slut. i understand the time period bc not only am i not stupid, i also understand that it is still a big issue in many communities for mothers to have children out of wedlock. i am saying i do not care because it’s a fake issue the way “brienne can’t really be a knight because she’s a woman” and “sansa can’t rule winterfell when she has true born younger brothers” or whatever else. legitimacy is a tool of the patriarchy, of colonialism irl, of classism, and the argument “rhaenyra is a bad person for having children out of wedlock when she knew that would put them in danger” is stupid bc legitimacy doesn’t fucking matter and neither does marriage.

#valyrianscrolls #it’s a classist and misogynistic argument i need this fandom to be less heterosexual and realize sex and love that exist outside of marriage #aren’t dirty!!!!!! those kids are not dirty for being harwin’s and she’s not a bad person for it eitherrrr. #rhaenyra targaryen #me shit talking people in the tags #like people will say ‘cersei took it too far by’ i actually don’t care that she cheated on her abusive husband when there’s a million other #bad things she’s done that she feels no shame for. women are not bad people for cheating even if they’re royal!!! #‘cersei is had for killing robert’ like if joe biden got murdered by jill and it turned out he’d spent their whole marriage abusing her #i would say ‘yeah girl go’ #like the ‘taking it too far’ is her bad decisions when in power. her passing her bastards off as her husbands is certainly scandalous but in #the Specific case of ‘cersei coped with the humiliations heaped on her by defying robert the best way she could’ man whatever #the problem with joffrey is his personality ya know. #but like that is very much robert’s son also. it’s just. every day i am forged to see the Most Ridiculous takes. why. #that one lady who hit her husband’s penis off was innocent actually. he shouldn’t have been doing things that made her need to bite his peen

is it pathetic that some of the scenes in bryce make me genuinely so sad

#she used to be so innocent #she really just wanted to do the right thing #like especially the scene of her reacting to donovan killing someone #it wasnt even a sad scene but like in present day she’ll waste people just because she can #so idk something about seeing her so upset about it back then fhfchyfch yk????? #its just sad to see her genuinely trying to be a good person but everything being so out of her control that she /can’t/ #dont even get me started on the scene where she gives donovan her heart #‘donovan what have i done?’ got me wanting to sob EVERY TIME #blue era bryce deserved everything

I think one of the scariest things about human relationships to me is there's no framework to avoid harm. certain actions in certain contexts with certain people are positive and good and with someone else they're objectively terrible. And you analyse and try to grasp all the ways things can be filtered horrible in the retrospect. But the scary part is. You don't know. If the person is acting or reassuring you or lying or hiding what harm is being done you just don't know. There are guidelines you can follow and you can try to be reasonable, but you can really not know.

#i hate it sooooooooo much it terrifies me every day i literally look at every relationship and the way someone could just flip everything #because you can turn any innocous thing and change its context and change what impact it has if you want to #every day I'm waiting. every day I'm thinking about how everyone i love could hate me in a split second #no matter how safe and secure i am #not that that should matter #but the fact i could be hurting them now? that they just need the moment to see and decide? for me to be able to devastate them? #to do harm and not KNOW #i just want to know if I know I'd never do it..... #delete #vent #wow this is new im breaking down about [redacted] instead of [redacted]. this is either progress or im getting worse

Missing people and regretting shit o'clock

#why did i even let it come this far. 7 fucking months and i didn't realize what was going wrong so i could have saved it #i want him back fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck #was thinking of this notebook i filled for him with memories and poetry and quotes and general mushy things and goddamn #why am i crying i just looked at my desk and i don't have the heart to put everything in a box so i don't see it every day when i wake up #i know i can't change it and it's probably over for good now after i fucked some things up extra hard but fuck do i miss him #i wish i could have done something in time before even the thought of breaking up came up #just when i thought for once things are working out for me and it was really fucking good and happy until a week before it ended #guess i just can't be happy. i never could #i was really really willing to talk things out and fix whatever needs to be fixed while staying together #not go separate ways and maybe not so maybe definitely not possibly maybe see if we can try again in the future #which we (spoiler) apparently won't and i kinda came to terms with that but i still wish there was a possibility #or at least i would have liked to know from the beginning and not spend weeks hoping for a reunion and working towards that specifically #while i seem to be the only one with that goal #idk i just wish it had been more thought through and talked about properly so there wouldn't be the misunderstandings we deal with now #and like boundaries for the first two months or so after that but it takes two i guess #disclaimer i'm not bitter or mad at anyone just sad and nostalgic. if the person in question reads this i love you ok that won't change #deleting later but now i need to go back to sleep before i kill myself on a whim #mel talks #depressed bitch posting #i know i know i know i did some shit too that wasn't great and i'm not saying i'm innocent here i'm just so depressed about the situation #it's been seven goddamn weeks it never took me this long to get over anything before

also i need people tagging that mask post with “actually i hate masks, i’ll wear them because i have to but i need to remind everyone that i’m the specialest person around and i haaaate wearing masks” to remember that they can just: Not Participate In Posts! sometimes you are not the target demographic for a post and that is okay!

#it is SO ANNOYING. #i think discussions abt not liking masks & wearing them anyways have a time and a place but that’s not here! #also i think it’s sooo funny to be like ‘oh so nobody else here has sensory issues with masks i see!’ #doubly funny because i’ve had multiple people do this to me when i make an innocent comment like ‘lmao i love not having to smile’ #or ‘lol i love when ppl don’t know i have piercings’ #like. yes! i do! it’s like. i have sensory issues with the seams on Almost Every Shirt I Own. i still wear shirts every day! #and many of the shirts with Bad seams are still my favorites! #i also think this is another one of those things where it’s like. these people are seeing posts from people they follow On Line #and assuming that people who just LOOOOVE wearing a mask is the default #(for reference: despite my sensory Issues i’m a person who just LOOOOVES wearing a mask) #and feel. that their experiences are not being Considered #but it’s like. hating masks is the default. actually. the world is full of those people. #outside of my friendgroup everyone i know who still wears a mask (we gotta wear them at work) whines about it #the world is full of people who think they are the exception!!!! #people who are like ‘yay masks!!!!’ are not running victory laps around you lmao. we’re just having fun.

google :)

love u goog <3

#to explain the dotted squares: Why Are You A Redhead When You Are Bing's Clone. #and the other is like. lets get one thing straight i love goog to death everything in season 2? wouldnt change a damn thing #but i feel like the susan thing was resolved too quickly. and his relationship with mac has gone. underaddressed. #goog was raised by dr. order and i love that he defects right away when shown a first glimmer of something more meaningful #it works well to demonstrate the point that kindness is what we're. as people. most naturally drawn to when circumstance allows for it #but i think how easy it ultimately comes to him even when that's challenged by his personal hurt later kinda. cheapens it a bit? #kindness is easy but its also very hard sometimes when we are faced with the desire or need to protect ourselves from being hurt #and susan letting goog get his catharsis from attacking her even though it wasnt Her her that hurt him #is something i feel should've left him feeling a bit more. conflicted a bit longer. the resolution was sweet but not fully earned imo? #and then theres mac. your little brother almost kills you in cold blood chasing the same meaningless victory you were raised to achieve #and then just. befriends your platonic partner's little sister and becomes part of the family while changing very little of his outlook #just changing who he answers to because he got his ass kicked. and you're just supposed to feel fucking NORMAL about that??????? #idk just think google should get to bite people and be dysfunctional a little more he was raised by doctor order hes not even two years old #he's a shonen protagonist with anxiety but the anxiety doesn't even really interfere meaningfully with anything narratively best i remember #machi has the excuse of being baby to explain why he's so innocent and even he's distinctly self-centered at times #google is a grown man and chooses kindness every day after he got out of there #and that rules. but id like to see him struggle with it just a LIL more #a bit too much of a perfect victim after he gets out for my taste. i had a similar problem with adora in she-ra #lots of not having a frame of reference for a different normal than theirs but always choosing the Right™ thing to do the first time anyway #but thats a mild 'show dont tell'-y writing gripe #its been a good bit since i watched the eps referenced so my feelings might change when i get to them in my rewatch #i simply think meeting a version of your shitty mom that's largely the same but not shitty should make you feel. a lot of different ways #and we didnt really get to see goog wrestle with that after finding out susan wasnt Really her and i think thats kind of a shame #and i dont remember if mac and goog have even shared any screentime after that time Mac Injured Him Terribly with plus ultra

Micolash’s ‘Can somebody, anybody, please look into my eyes?’ and Rom’s ‘I revolt both humanity and the divine, can anyone, anything, please accept me?’. I never realised how they are both absolutely alone in who they are (’: Having no choice but to build a “kind” of their own around themselves (Mico by making corpse marionettes and Rom by rebirthing humans into her spider Kin apparently)
