Okay so now that I am on the verge of completing Jumin's route, my few thots on it:

- This man is v romantic over texts and calls. Am I a simp? Yes. Am I unabashed about it? Yes. (I haven't made any outgoing calls yet because I'm saving up hourglasses for another story)

- That being said his route felt very rushed. Part of it was because the guy just... IMMEDIATELY latched onto MC and proclaimed that she was a perfect replacement for Elizabeth (it could be translation issues too, I've read somewhere that the og version Jumin sounds less harsh than english). Which is still fine, good idea, just maybe it this could have happened like one day sooner?

- And the other part of it was MC herself. Considering that this is an unrealistic romance, I had expected the MC herself to be on... well, if not the same level, a similar level of obsessive? To clarify, I think the whole "when am I going back home?/when are you picking Elizabeth up?" bit was interfering with the attempts to get to know Jumin better. It doesn't help that the MC has zero personality of her own and playing this game is like going to a build-a-bear workshop, so the MC needs a different personality for each route. With the other three routes the personality is built organically. Here... MC isn't dark enough (although there definitely is potential, if the caged comments leading to BE2 are any indication hehehehe)

- And speaking of personality, there really should have been options for MC to be harsh instead of politely pleading with Jumin (you expect the guy to kabedon me out of nowhere and for me to just politely plead with him? please) . But then again that comes back to my criticism about MC's personality so...

- Maybe I'll play it again after completing seven's route and rating all the routes, just to revisit everything and see if my opinions change?

You know, our history teacher shows us 'current event' videos, and the Panera lemonade came up and I heard so many kids saying-

'That's his fault, shouldn't have drank it knowing it had that much caffeine'

And I had barely any context to the situation and I looked at it and said 'it looks like normal lemonade..how was he supposed to know?'

I immediately could tell it was just marketed as lemonade, not as a high-caffeine energy drink. And these assholes with no context themselves are immediately assuming and calling that poor man and that poor young woman (and other people who have died because of it) stupid for not knowing, when there was NO WAY for them to know until it was too late

You know. As much as I like the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie the more I realize how much of a wild attempt it was to like bring in people. Because like 90% of what made the Rise series UNIQUE is like stripped from the movie.

Leo is the leader of the team.

Raph is mad and fighting with Leo constantly.

We have a masculine Casey Jones who looks similar to the original Casey Jones hokey mask and everything

Master Splinter is serious and not acting like a man going through a midlife crisis.

April is acting like an investigative journalist and not like someone who pulled off the Seven Deadly Viper's move with master Splinter that one time.

Come to think of it Master Splinter didn't really use any of his normal flaming kick moves I don't think

No yokai. AT ALL.

Krang are the bad guys.

Shredder like armor.

Majority of the Movie turtles have no magic powers.

The whole situation has a very serious tone from start to finish. No real joking aside from Leo who is bringing all the Rise series energy into a movie that is trying to be frank NOT to be the rise series.

Thinking of that I can't help but wonder. Why does this feel like the movie is like it's trying to appeal to people who hated how unique and different the series was from the original turtles?

I mean why couldn't we instead get a movie that had Draxum? Or Mayhem? Or Big Mama invovled? Did anyone even yell "HOT SOUP"?! I don't think they did. Why was Splinter not using any of his Lou Jistu moves on the Krang?! None of this makes sense unless I realize the movie was deliberately trying to hide the parts that non Rise series people would't recognize or understand.

That kinda makes me mad.

Like I've heard people say Leo was being out of character for the rise movie but. I mean. I think Raph was being more out of character. Since when does he attack his brothers with powers? He also struck me as way too orgnaized when I mean this was the man who in the original series freaked out when being left alone for 5 minutes and screwed up a mission to take a picture of a pigeon with a pizza. ALSO WHERE WERE HIS COOL COPY POWERS?! Y'know Leo Mikey and Donnie got to keep their mystic upgrade powers but Raph's shadow clones are MIA when they would have been SO USEFUL in the fight to get the key. In fact even before they all lost their powers it felt like that fight they were holding back. Leo should have been able to just portal the key right into his hand. He's done that stuff before.

#rant #rottmnt #hot take #I still love the movie but like #how cool would it have been instead to have a big fight where leo gets Big Mama and Draxum and all the Yokai fighting against a Krang army? #What if we involved Cassandra more? #just... why not use Mayhem in the fleeing from Sister Krang? #He has LIMITED TELEPORT JUICE IT WOULDN'T HURT #ALSO SUPER LEMONADE TODD #The possibilities man

Somehow got stuck in a political discussion with my mother and that went very, very bad lmao followed closely by despair for the future ✨ but oh well, free now so time to write bc thats fun and Brings Joy

#that was a Big Mistake #i knew as soon as i went downstairs to get my lemonade #and she went off on rants and said shit i could Not tolerate silently #at least managed to end it on a better note so she wouldnt be pissy #and i wont see her till 8pm tomorrow and she'll 100% forget by then #or be over it at least whaterver #tbd #᛭ — [OOC] angst is the game and tears are the currency

[doesnotloveyou]

swifties talk about her like she runs a cult. they discuss her lore and predict her future like she's a tv series. they read into every costume change like it's a secret message she's sending to them specifically. they are literally deciding her fate using numerology. touching grass isn't enough for these people, they think she planted the grass and made it rain too

#imagine letting some white woman named “taylor” live rent free in your head #she's barbie and ariana is bratz and neither of them has interested me at any point in their existence #ppl are freaking weird #i heard the same culty convos when beyonce dropped lemonade #she's selling music she's selling her body and her face and her name and her voice #do these women now have to sell their personal life and deepest innermost thoughts to you as well? is this feminism? #yall #super celebs are living my personal nightmare and i don't know how they do it #i would absolutely be on the “she killed herself at 27” list if i had this many mouth breathing psychos on my case 24/7 #as if the industry wasn't bad enough fans are often disgusting people #dnly rants #fandom

I know posts aren’t written with a universal audience in mind and that when people make posts like this they are probably not talking to me but

I HATE posts that are phrased to talk to everyone and say shit like “you NEED to be eating X”

shut up! you do not know a persons needs. just saw one that even went so far as to say they didn’t care if a person has a condition that makes it hard. shut up shut up! things that are healthy for most people are not necessarily good for everyone! like. my body does not tolerate cellulose. it makes me throw up. I can only tolerate vegetables in very specific circumstances, and I’m even then I will, not might, WILL, throw up part of the meal. I also receive premade meals in the mail as a disability accommodation. These meals are inevitably designed to cater to the Healthy Diet For Everyone. and as a result, I can’t eat like half of every single one because it’s steamed vegetables that will make me sick. nothing I can even do about it. it’s not possible to receive medical meals for MY medical needs. not to mention all the other stuff they send me that is prohibited for me (whole grain bread —I’m on a low fiber diet. milk —lactose intolerant. pineapple fruit/juice —allergic. tomatoes…allergic again.)

idk man it is an active problem in my life that everything presumes there is only one way to be healthy. I’m so sick of dealing with it. I DONT want to see it on tumblr too! leave nutrition advice to people’s doctors!!!

#rant #disability #actually disabled #actual diet advice from MY doctors that actually know me: #low fiber (GI specialist) high sodium (cardiologist and geneticist) drink lemonade instead of water (urologist) #reduce vegetable consumption (GI) drink high calorie beverages to supplement calorie intake (GI) #the only ‘normal’ advice was to avoid large amounts of fat #which I do because it makes me as sick as the vegetables #stop presuming you know what’s good for people! #I watch my bf do caretaker training videos to hired to care for me and the nutrition and meal planning section was all the same shit #I cannot express enough that if you try to make me live on high fiber and meals that are half steamed veggies with water to drink and #no salt #I will become malnourished #I will throw up so much that I lose weight and lose cognitive function #I will start collapsing whenever I stand up #and I will become so bloated that I only try to eat once a day #I know this because I’ve been there already due to stupid doctors that tried to shove me into a one size fits all diet #it was the most miserable time of my life #toward the end I was only able to stomach cups of tuna #i developed an aversion to eating in general bc I had linked the act of eating with being sick #I lost like 30 pounds in two months #sorry if I take the subject a little personal

Alright well I do need to clear out my fridge to see if I can fix my body's issues with acid so. I will be chugging at least 3 different fruit juices in the next few days

random ramblings

I have an exam tomorrow on literary criticism (structuralism, bakhtin and all that jazz) so I was playing around with my old otps as an exercise while studying huzzah, and the more I look back on it, the MORE nonsensical all the ship wars are looking

Because its one thing to not prefer a ship and its ANOTHER to just go delulu and say that the canon ship should not have happened because *insert nonsensical galaxy brain level argument here*, and yes I am talking about sasusaku, renruki and nalu

Like Sasusaku has always been the obvious choice, starting from the moment Sasuke went “who did this to you” in his rage to when Sakura calmed him down with a back hug. Sakura got taken a peg down after Sasuke scolded her for treating Naruto poorly. Sasuke THANKED Sakura before knocking her out and placing her on the bench and leaving. Sasuke began attacking Sakura proper AFTER she tried to kill him. There is a dynamic between them, there is ACTION in a way you don’t see with either Naruto or Karin. I could go on and on, but my point is, Narusaku or even Sasukarin was honestly never going to happen. If these two had to end up with anyone, it would be with each other. This is a classic ETL couple folks!! 

For Sakura particularly, Naruto represents an innocent and childish life (Naruto you’re a fine guy no lie, Hinata was suited better for you) and Sasuke is the dangerous option that forces her to sexually mature and grow up (remember, we’re focusing on structure here not the execution, whatever your opinions may be), so Kishi wasn’t wrong when he said that pairing Naruto and Sakura would have been unfair (paraphrased a bit). Naruto isn’t losing out much either, a gentle girl like Hinata who has loved him from the start (you see the pattern of first love coming up here?) was always his better match in the long run.

You can achieve the same effect with FTL as well, if we look at Renruki and NaLu. Kubo gave the angst of separation and pining with Renji and Rukia and the metaphor of “the stray dog barking at the moon”, which was not exactly a thing with Ichigo and Rukia. An argument can be made about “black sun and white moon”, but since Orihime gave the push to Ichigo for going to save Rukia, it didn’t quite feel strong. But in the interests of staying fair, I’ll say that we did have two options: bickering friends or, “we used to be friends but now we’re enemies”.

THEN came the nail in the coffin.  

Legit all bets were off the SECOND Ichigo tossed Rukia into Renji’s arms and basically gave his blessing/aashirvad to run away and basically saying ”Jaa Rukia, jee le apni zindagi” (Translation: go Rukia, live your own life, this one’s inspired by DDLJ hehehe). Like I would not give away the woman I am in love with to my romantic rival and tell him to TAKE HER AWAY. HELLO. THIS IS GOING AGAINST THE NARRATIVE BEHAVIOUR. THIS IS GIVING SECOND LEAD SYNDROME BEHAVIOUR. ICHI HAS BECOME THE KULJEET TO RENJI’S RAJ (Or more accurately Simran’s dad lmao.)

So what’s the point in saying all this, you may ask. Well, now that I’ve said it I’ll make my argument: STRUCTURE and NARRATIVE decides whether the author’s writing decisions were poor and not the reader’s preferences. And I’ve taken a neutral stance earlier on the last ship in my list but now I’m committing: NaLu HAS to be canon. 

I had said earlier that NaLi could potentially be canon, again for the sake of fairness, but looking at it now I’m changing my opinion. Natsu and Lisanna were set up to interact more but Mashima changed his mind halfway through and just didn’t do much with Lisanna. You can see how great his writing decisions are there, but the technicalities are to be reserved for another post, another day. If I am to try getting more fancy about it, Lisanna represents Natsu’s childhood while Lucy represents a mature and adult future.

Point is that by process of elimination, Natsu and Lucy have to end up with each other. Or remain as friends. Considering Natsu said to Lucy “we’ll be together forever”, these two will be a thing at some point in the future, unless Mashima pulls a HIMYM or something (TOUCHWOOD, even though the guy did canonize Gruvia, Gajevy and Jerza...)

[bancaishi]

so as not to clog up the op of that last post's notes with my thoughts, even if only in the tags, i'm gonna drop em over here instead

the rise in "i don't like the body positivity movement because i find it hard to love my body and that's why i support body neutrality instead :)" is annoying to me specifically because it's part of that "body positivity is a tea party where we all compliment each other" misconception. just because corporations have coopted the name of the movement to use plus size models as diversity tokens without actually making plus size clothing accessible, or because makeup companies have latched onto non conventionally attractive features to turn them into a trendy marketing scheme, does not mean that "hash tag loving my curves" is what the movement is about? it's fully understandable if loving your body isn't easy and you want to subscribe to the idea of it being a neutral, purely functional thing as a helpful attitude in everyday life - hell, i know i do that myself - but it should be remembered that the body positivity movement is about politically combating systemic fatphobia & adjacent issues first and foremost, and not "everyone love yourself now :)". that is fully separate from the attitudes about our bodies that we carry individually in the day-to-day

[campfiretaxidriver]

In an attempt to stop saying “I’m gonna kill myself” at mild inconveniences, I’ve tried to come up with creative solutions to this. The current replacement phrase is “I’m feeling thirsty for lemonade, where’s the closest Panera Bread?” This has gained traction within my friend group, and has shortened to just “I’m craving lemonade” or “anyone want Panera”. Having a group of idiots end a rant with “anyone want to go to Panera” fucking takes me out every goddamn time

#ren rants #Panera bread. the only place with that lethal lemonade #I love you lemonade that kills you

[c-130jsuperhercules]

so this is just nothing but misinformation, but when I said as much on the post, they blocked me, so I'm gonna make my own post I guess.

I'm not trying to go to bat for panera, mislabeling and not appropriately labeling a potentially harmful product is a high sin, especially in the food industry. I'm just saying all this because I'm a busybody, and people saying blatantly wrong stuff like this is annoying. However,

400mg of caffeine is not anywhere close to a lethal amount of caffeine. From the text Caffeine Toxicity, on PubMed: "Lethal doses of caffeine have been reported at blood concentrations of 80 to 100 micrograms/ml, which can be reached with ingestion of approximately 10 grams or greater." That's ten thousand milligrams. It would take drinking 25 of these 30oz lemonades, 750ozs in all, to be universally lethal. Furthermore, there are a decent number of energy drinks, like Reign or Bang, that have more like 300mg of caffeine per 16oz can. However,

The distinction between these energy drinks and the lemonade seems to be labeling. Of the two energy drinks I mentioned, both have a label on the can warning minors, pregnant people, those with a caffeine sensitivity, etc. against drinking it, while Panera, at least not at the time, didn't have an as such appropriate warning for the lemonade, despite having a similar(while less) concentration of caffeine.

A girl with a severe shellfish allergy goes into a restaurant and orders the soup of the day, the name of which is written on a whiteboard as "Not Your Dad's Toothpaste". The soup is made with vegetable stock, bananas, lamb, lambcress, and shrimp puree. However, none of this information is available on the board, and the waiter taking her order doesn't describe it either. The girl eats it, has an allergic reaction to the shrimp inside, and passes away. Later on, a man with a more mild shellfish allergy comes in, and orders the same, still unaware of the shrimp inside, but eats three bowls of it, and also passes away. Neither of these people died due to an inherent poisonous quality of the soup, but from ingesting something harmful for them, because they didn't know what was inside the soup. Later on still, people find out about the incident, and begin to joke about going to the restaurant and ordering the soup that kills you. This current situation is the same. Panera should have given more information about the lemonade, and warned people for whom it would be dangerous against drinking it. But also, can everyone shut up for a second about the "lemonade that kills you".

ANYWAY. rant over but I just hope I got my point across.

#txt #rant #and it isn't just this post either ive seen news articles where they're all like #'AAAHHHH IT HAS SO MUCH CAFFEINE THIS IS LIKE SELLING METH IN A CUP' like come on. stop trying to scare people. just google #like #one thing yknow #ANYWAY. im still on the clock so i gotta go back to work forgive the typos if there are any #and yes that shellfish story is essentially a 1-1 to what happened with the lemonade #so send your sympathies to the grieving families without saying 'im gonna go try it haha lol im gonna die lolol'

Me when I remember that the Demon Revealing Mirror rolls past MK in 2x02, and that even despite MK's reflection motif they deliberately don't ever show him in the face of the mirror:

But who do they show?

#this show ALWAYS shows MK in circular reflections #The trigram furnace. Soup. A lemonade cup. Tangs Glasses. SWK Plate. BUT THE ACTUAL MIRROR??? NO. OF COURSE THEY CAN'T. #this plus the whole ''You know what that means! There really isn't anything special about you.'' from 1x09 has convinced me that yeah #Monkey MK was very much planned from the beginning. Which it's not like I ever doubted but evidence is always nice #I am always SO sad that the mirror was put into the LBD soup and destroyed #I want to see MK in it so badly #Gonna write a fic where MK goes/is forced into his own scroll piece and looks at himself in a memory of the demon revealing mirror #Then give him an existential crisis over his own monkey reflection #Will I actually do that? Idk #Will I think about it? Yes! #imp tag #lmk #monkie kid #lego monkie kid #lmk rant #lmk MK #lmk reflection motif
