#maybe Im missing something important

[not-souleaterpost]

Did BlackStar turn into a Mary Sue after the Arachne Arc in the Soul Eater Manga?

Anyways, if I'm already in this mood of starting shit, guess I wonder if anyone else feels me on this:

When reading the manga through in one go, I kinda started feeling that - cause yeah the Mifune rematch was great and all, a fitting conclusion to his arc - and thats the problem - he kinda, in the middle of the story, seemingly became his endform, atleast in charachter and competence - so then we get weird stuff like him trashing Crona with no effort even if that scene seemingly should be about how Crona was fucked up by darkness into some hideous strength, but nah BS wins and everyone says how strong he is, and its not like Im either crying about my cinammon bun or whatever not having the highest powerlevel (anime Crona is way weaker by the end and I dont care) - it just makes the scene be convoluted cause BS cant just catch Crona, it would mess up the story, but still he has to be super competent so he actually catched Eruka.

But this is small frys, compared to the part that sparked my previous weird plot suggestion:

Patty and Liz, charachters whose whole arc is connected to Kid, who are shown to train to save him, who have the whole ironic thematic resonance of "Oh he saved us from the madness of the chaos of the streets, we will save him from the madness of Order of the letter" - but naaaah, its more important BS gets in and wins by some nonsense "My power is power" thing lol

And then there is the whole flying thing or shit on the moon like eating lazers and fighting with a broken spine - but that maybe is cool, but the biggest offender is when Asura goes out of the way to say:

"Wow BS is actually THE strongest, and he is like a WARGOD!" - like I dunno, maybe it was "epic" in the moment but combined with everything else, with the fact that not Kid with 3 lines could compete with that even after the charachter development of overcoming his insecurites and distrust of his dad, still BS MUST be the center of attention, as if he was Ohkubos special little guy...

But idk, maybe I should just have kept this too a way deep iceberg entry, still gotta see if anybody else has a simmilar take.

Anyways, to make it more controversial, I think Arthur from FF is what BS tried to be - idk it works for me with Arthur, you kinda get taken by the ridicolousnes and fools faith that transceds reason into the divine, while BS is just the generic anime "Aaaaah Im gonna surpass the gods and slay them with my humanity!!!!"

Oh, also Tsubaki got also shafted by all this too.

#soul eater #soul eater meta #black star #mary sue #idk #maybe I should just stop lol #soul eater iceberg #I should just put this energy into the script #maybe Im missing something important #And yeah he was kinda goofy and a idiot still so guess not #but thats also like the one pseudo negativr trait you give to hide the fact

#i think this is an autism related thing #but i genuinely feel like i wasnt made right for the world we live in #like something is just missing from me that ive never seen ppl talk about #and i know this is going to sound entitled and privileged and i KNOW i know i promise and im so lucky i can even be thinking about this but #it feels weird to have the privilege to be scared #this is specifically in regards to working #like having a job. like going to work #i feel like im missing an extremely important part of my brain or my BEING that is capable ot going through the motions of participating #in society. i never felt that switch of wanting to get a job in high school to make money for myself and get that experience #i feel like there's something i MISSED where everyone took a class on how to apply and go to interviews and write resumes and not be scared #like i NEED to be walked through every SINGLE step because i dont know HOW #and i see my peers and the literal entire world around me participating in this atmosphere and i dont know where to start #im fucking twenty three years old and ive only ever been an intern and an assistant #not even a full year of working #i cant drive and i probably wont ever because thats a whole other can of worms #and that means i have to rely on other people to even get to wherever it was i needed to go #i feel like a fucking child because im missing this knowledge that everyone else seems to have #ive tried i really have but none of it seems simple and its all so much and there arent steps to follow #i mean there ARE but its like 1) look up job 2) apply 3) interview 4) yay you're employed #and im talking about each micro step inbetween #what am i missing #and then theres the fucking demand avoidance that slaps me across the face whenever my mom brings it up to me like i KNOW youre being #supportive and encouraging and its not your fault my brain turns off and decides im full of shame bc i cant CONFRONT ANYTHING #jesus christ #manf i know u can see this maybe dont bring it up to mom i can do that on my own maybe #i WANT to help i just want to help at my own pace but unfortunately the world isnt built around individual paces and nothing revolves #around me. i know this #i want to help my mom i want her to never be stressed about money and to retire and never work or help me pay my student loans but i #genuinely feel like theres a switch that never turned on in my head and im being left behind and i genuinely dont know how to. like be alive

I dont think Amane's mother killed the cat but i think Amane thinks she did.

Anyway this scene is weird to me. Why did the killer even take the collar and handkerchief off? Why is the collar and handkerchief just left there? Did whoever killed the cat leave it there purposely for Amane to find? Killing animals is against the cults rules, but there's no way whoever killed it doesn't know that. Why is the collar cut as well as unclipped? Was there some weird struggle? Cutting it isn't necessary if you can unclip it, which whoever killed the cat clearly did. It's weird!!!!!!!!!

#milgram #amane momose #something is missing. from my brain. i can feel it!!! #the pieces arent connecting... it dont make no sense! no sense at all!!! #cult mention #since theres no blood (outside of prior leg injury) and no body. im assuming they didnt directly kill it themselves #maybe they put it in traffic or a river or something... idk #not rlly important i think

[sleepy-crypt1d]

I had seen people talking about how TSPUD would be lost on youtubers and streamers and I hadn’t really believed that. Until now, and like, yeah, they all keep failing at one specific point and it’s. .disappointing? 

I understand not everyone is going to enjoy games and play games exactly like I do, thinking that would be stupid of me, and I know that. Usually I don’t care how other people play games, it’s whatever, let them vibe and enjoy something their own way, if it annoys me I just won’t watch it. I love seeing people experience my favorite games for the first time! I absolutely love seeing people begin to love the thing that I do! 

But seeing the way that certain youtubers and streamers play through The Skip Button ending makes me want to rip my hair out. It’s not supposed to be a quick ending! You’re supposed to sit through all of the Narrator’s dialogue!! That’s the entire point of the ending. I have seen so many people either jokingly or genuinely get annoyed because ‘oh my god, he does talk a lot’ so they spam press the button to get to the end and it’s like, do you, do you not understand the point? Do you not get it? 

The Skip Button Ending isn’t about getting to the end to see how much time you can skip, or to find a way out, it’s not even supposed to have an objective to it. It’s to watch the Narrator, Nate as I call him, fall deeper and deeper into his own creation. Another user had pointed this out, TSBE is used to show that you are powerless to save him, there is nothing you can do, once he made the skip button, you were lost to his creation just as much as he was. You are forced to kill him, to cause him to lose his mind, to make him fall into the never-ending spiral of self-doubt and control one’s creation can have over their entire life. 

That ending means something, that ending is supposed to make you stop and consider the consequences of what you’re doing, it’s the same premise of the real person ending and the zending, you are forced to hurt Nate to keep the story going, and it’s supposed to hurt you as well, but they don’t grasp that? I guess? They skip through all his dialogue, missing the point he makes about how games aren’t supposed to be funny or have a point, they can just exist and that’s okay. Games don’t need to appeal to everyone, they don’t need to be perfect, they aren’t sacred or Devine works of art. 

They are meant to be enjoyed by people who will enjoy them. 

Not every ending needs to have some bigger meaning to it, some are just you jumping off a landing and being call powerful, some are just a long winded story about a bucket, some are long critics about video game development and the culture around whether or not you’re enjoying something in the ‘right way’, and sometimes, they’re just an ending. But this one is something. It’s critiquing exactly what they’re doing, which is skipping over important thoughts and ideas because it wasn’t funny or entertaining, they skip over it because it wasn’t what they wanted which is EXACTLY THE POINT THE GAME IS MAKING - TO NOT DO THAT BECAUSE YOU WILL LOSE OUT ON WHAT THE GAME IS. And they will never know that, because once you skip the dialogue, it’s over. You get that ending once and then never again.  

Another thing that really irritates me is that, 1. people in the comments also won’t know and 2. now the epilogue will be lost on you. If you skip Nate’s spiral in TSBE then when you eventually do everything else and get to the epilogue, it won’t hit the same way. Part of what made the epilogue almost make me start sobbing was because you realize, you were there, you watched as Nate fell to his own work, YOU were the one who pressed the button that killed him, YOU were the one that led to the office building crumbling and leaving nothing but you and endless desert because the creator was gone, and you killed him. And once you get back to the office building, the two doors are shut, you can no longer make a decision, because you already made it when you pressed the button. 

Almost all of this is lost to the youtubers and streamers who skip his dialogue because they’re doing it for a bit, they want to see how it ends, they are genuinely annoyed Nate is talking so much, they’re doing it for chat, they want to cut time so they don’t have to edit as long. All they’re doing is losing themselves the coolest ending in the entire game. 

And this is just what I think based on the game! This isn’t even getting into my annoyance of people seeing Nate as just the game’s narrator and not his own separate character with thoughts, feelings, and character development. But that’s for another post, this one is getting long enough. 

TLDR; streamers and youtubers skipping over the meaning in The Skip Button Ending and what it says about both them and the game industry annoys me to the point of where I cannot watch people play this game. The Skip Button Ending isn’t about the destination, it’s about how you got there. 

#tspud spoilers #sleepy rambles #tspud #the stanley parable #the stanley parable ultra deluxe #wha oh sleepy's upset #i just :(( #this is my favorite ending!! and what it says is so fucking important!! and now two of my favorite content creators have entirely skipped it #just without a care in the world #and im just sat there really really disappointed because i wanted to know what their thoughts were #and idk i'm probably just reaching here but seeing them skip through SO MUCH of his dialogue in that ending makes me feel like they dont? #care about that ending? #they're doing it for content #not for enjoyment #and that sucks :(( #and when i say that they skip his dialogue i mean he says ONE WORD and they press the button #like one didn't even notice the door was missing #who knows maybe this is all just whiny of me but it's something i noticed that annoyed me #maybe some people agree with me idk #wanna know people's thoughts

yk i was working on a post where i tried to guess the next relations event after the kurumi and miiko relations but ig i was gonna be wrong either way bc there wasnt going to be any relations after that lmfao 🥲

#crow talks #d4dj #d4dj groovy mix #lol..... #i'll just say my guess in the tags.... #since this is going by unit and we already got a peaky rondo hapiara photon and lyrilily ones the next one wouldve been M4 (RIP M4 fans...) #it seems to me they were saving the really important relationships for the other units or guys we already saw get close so it wouldve been- #(probably) dalia and rika relations or a marika and saori one #bc we know how dalia and rika met (road to d4fes) and their relationship (kinda of) so we might've learned about their older brothers. #something about rika's older brother and how his illness affected younger rika and dalia's brother with how badly he wants to be a chef-- #but is struggling bc he has something missing he cant see but his father can. #or maybe we can finally learn more abt rika's savior complex and dalia's self-consciousness about her eyes. maybe those can connect. #marika saori relations..... hmmm. a bit hard but my guess is: #since some of the relations events (of course) build off info from the last one marika might be trying to audition for a role in a film bc- #she told towa abt it and how she wants to be more confident and cool like..... rika. #she kind of opens up to saori about how unconfident she is with acting and saori helps her out by acting with her. kind of gay thing ensues #what im saying is something similar to the aoi and haruna relations but it's another play/movie and both of them gain confidence #that or it would've been marika rika relations and a saori dalia relations hm. #idk is this an interesting relations premise? you tell me.

i need to consume a piece of media that will emotionally impact me forever. i need to watch a movie or play a game that will leave me crying and sobbing desperately. i need something that i will think about forever. i need something that i will be able to say "means a lot to me", something that will influence my life permanently, something that will make me think about things and make me better as a person. i need undertale 2

#best way i can explain my genuine desire to experience sometimes important #i think my life has been so stagnant i just feel the need for something that will change everything #something that will be important and impactful #because im bored and i need something new #and i miss the emotional catharsis of experiencing a really important piece of media for the first time #i havent really consumed anything new since i read homestuck two years ago and im starting to get bored again #not because homestuck doesnt mean anything to me anymore its still one of the most important things ive consumed media wise #but by now i just need something new. maybe im just thinking too much of media and i just truly want a change in my life #who knows

any hopes for kiwami 3? like things u wanna see added or changed stuff like that

if they dont keep kiryu's goofy walk stance and the hoof-like walk sounds i dont wanna play it

#snap chats #no one understands how much i love that from y3 and y4 its genuinely one of my favorite things about the game #oh but i guess i have to give an actual answer now. HMPH. #id scream if they revived kanda calling mine limp wristed. homophobia in 4k #OK BUT TO BE SERIOUS uhhhh i dont know. im a real simple guy i think #my only like. If This Isnt There Im Leaving deal is mine's palette and im so serious #rgg's scaring me with all the black-hair/purple-suit mine stuff as of late and i cant stress how hard ill vomit if thats in the final #HYPOTHETICAL final anyways. yk3 isnt coming out for. IDK A WHILE #i wanna say i hope they highlight daigo and mine's relationship more but i dont know how theyd do that #i really like how mine's handled in y3 as is so i dont think i want scenes injected like what they did with yk1 and nishiki #someone said a Mine Saga after the game and... hm ... sounds too unrealistic for me to hope for it #like im REALLY trying to think how they could possibly reference the rggo stories in y3 since those are EXCELLENT but #i think . MAYBE. you could reference the story where richardson calls mine as he's driving to the hospital #the only thing you'd have to exclude though is mine stopping by the bar- like JUST keep the phone conversation maybe #cause in that scene that subordinate does question mine if he can really kill daigo and i think thatd be neat. in my opinion. #yeah i dont know. in regards to rggo its hard to think of what i want without intervening things i already like about y3 #its a real head scratcher ... #a really good epilogue addition would be adapting that RGGO bit where daigo ruminates on mine. that's a fair ending for him i think #it also fulfills the need to see how daigo saw mine even if its just a little #and to non-rggo readers it could start to answer 'how does daigo feel about everything that happened' #im still so curious as to if daigo was briefed on EVERYTHING that happened but .... anyways.... #sorry all my hopes for y3 are just mine/minedai centric fLVKELKA BUT LIKE. i really am content with everything else with y3 surprisingly #idk. i want kiryu fucking up that curry in high definition tho. thats important to me #THEY HAVE TO KEEP THE QTES DURING THE RICHARDSON FIGHT ILL BE PISSED #i need the fight to be AS CAMPY and unnecessary as it was in the og. INCLUDING richardson's voice acting i need it wack as hell #is it weird i actually appreciate the Diet Building Loredumping being like. in replayable-cutscene form #i thought id prefer just One Long cutscene but im glad theres the option to skip those segments #BUT being able to get a refresher in case you missed something somehow #im running out of tags jesus christ i shouldve put this in the main text but vjALjlagj those are all my thoughts for now bYE

Where the Stars Fell is like:

"You WILL work to figure out what's going on sometimes."

"You will NOT be spoonfed details about every character interaction in this show"

"You WILL confront and challenge your own biases about people with disabilities of all kinds and what they're like."

And I love that about them.

#its late so i could maybe word this better some other time but i had to get it out #i just relistened to the first two episodes for the first time in awhile #and theres a spectrum in audio dramas from like... #'character is handed something and asks 'whats this?' and the question is explicitly answered and described' #to 'character is handed something and asks 'whats this?' and the reply is something like 'what the fuck do you think it is'' #and like... the last one is kinda wtsf #makes me feel dumb sometimes but in a good way. in a 'theres something im missing but that means theres something i prob need to find' way #like working on a puzzle kind of dumb #and then theres the thing where i imagined a character looking like the grandma from courage the cowardly dog... #and then found out shes like my age and had to deal with that and stare at myself in the mirror for an hour and think about what id done #i cant really say much more without spoilers i think but this show just feels so important and good #and i do not even really know enough about religion to fully Get It I don't think #i mostly relistened bc i just really love Ed's voice #i mean... newt's voice but i didn't want to try and fail at spelling their last name rn lolol #okay goodnight #where the stars fell

[captainsparklefingers]

It feels really weird doing this xD but I guess talking about asking for help/feedback/generally venting about stuff (minor or otherwise) is always gonna feel weird? Is that what I'm doing right now? I have no idea. But anyway, writing it all out will hopefully help get it off my chest and I can try to move on to practical things. Mregh.

So I'm working on a series of oneshots about the first year of Kingsley's life (it was initially gonna be just the first six months before M9 Reunited but then I had some ideas that would only make sense after that, so here we are), and I've managed to get exactly one of them done so far. Which is good! I've got a second one in the works and a list of ideas for the others, buuuut I've managed to get myself stuck in the middle of the second one. Turns out it's hard to write Caduceus and Kingsley interactions when you have nothing to base them on XD and I guess that means I need a beta/somebody to bounce ideas off of. My regular beta (who is a wonderful person and one of my closest friends and who I love very much) is busy with real life stuff like work, so I don't want to bother them, and the people I want to ask to take a look at stuff and get ideas from are busy with their own fics and projects, and I don't want to bother them either. So here we are. I have anxiety up the wazzoo for a lot of things, including this, so it feels weird just putting a Tumblr post out there asking for help with something as silly as a fanfic...

And I'm always sort of afraid of writing Kingsley 'wrong', if that makes sense. Like, I know he's not Lucien or Molly, he's himself and there are echos of them in him, but with my whole belief that the memories of the previous purples are still there (just locked up until he's ready and comfortable enough as Kingsley to take them back and not get overwhelmed by them) and they sometimes leak out (the problem traveling with your past lives family is there's plenty of triggers there for stuff to slip through the cracks without context), and I worry that that makes it seem like I'm trying to turn him into Molly when I swear that's not what I'm thinking at all. So there's THAT layer to the anxiety as well.

So here I am with one one shot done, one about halfway done that I need a bit of a push with, and a list of ideas that I haven't started in on yet because I haven't gotten the second one done, and a lot of nerves about never getting anything done. Like, I'm not even gonna tag this because this is mostly just me trying to work out my anxiety about stuff (but uh if anyone is interested in helping or looking at some Kingsley stuff lemme know I guess), and I hope it helps. I've been having a lot of anxiety and nervousness about a lot of crap lately, and compared to other stuff, this is just such a minor bullshit thing to get wound up about.

God, anxiety SUCKS, y'all. It's the stupidest most irrational thing. Like 'ooh you wanted to do this as a fun lil side project to keep the creative juices going during downtime at work NOPE YOU'RE OBSESSED AND NERVOUS NOW ENJOY FEELING WEIRD WHENEVER YOU'RE AT YOUR LAPTOP FOR UNRELATED REASONS'.

#sometimes talking about your problems into the void of the internet helps #even if they're very minor bullshit problems like 'im having trouble writing fanfic and am afraid to bother anyone about it' #like this is the least important worry in my life at the moment #there's job stress my cat's health stress my mom's health stress #money stress #stress that seems to have no cause #this is a stupid thing to worry about #but maybe I keep coming back to worrying about it because it's minor and therefore feels like it should be fixable #but I want people to like me and Im so afraid of bothering them or seeming too self centered #and trying to ask internet strangers for help on something you're emotionally invested in can be a mixed bag #ughhhhhh #i miss having a therapist even if my last one stopped being effective ages ago

also once again i think one of mr benedict's greatest strengths is his faith in other people. his kindness, his capacity for compassion and empathy and forgiveness. sometimes it does need to be tempered with someone willing to stand up, someone willing to get angry, someone willing to call people out--that's why he has his friends--but ultimately like. it's his kindness, his compassion, his willingness to listen, his empathy, that wins the day. and honestly, this applies to the whole show.

the team is only gathered through this--even if he isn't truly their leader, in many ways, he's the heart. milligan. they both have every reason not to trust each other, all those years ago when he showed up at mr benedict's door. they both have crazy stories no one believes. they both are in a position to hurt the other in one way or another, they're both vulnerable. but they choose to trust each other, choose to see good in the world and in each other. mr benedict lets a stranger into his home, listens to his story, and does everything in his power to help. they become partners. he meets the others--other outcasts, other brilliant, troubled people--and they become a team. it's how he gains the trust of the children, particularly reynie. and then in season two, despite everything, despite everyone seeming to think he'll fail, that he must fail, he has faith he can get through to his brother. that he can talk to him, can help him, that he's just lost his way. and like. yes, that's not always the right view. yes, people have been hurt, and we can't ignore that. yes, number two is still right to be angry, reynie is right to be doubtful. yes, this isn't just nicholas's faith in truth, in doing the right thing, it's also very, very personal. but like. he's right. he's able to get through to him. he's able to save him.

#SOMETHING SOMETHING THE THEMES OF REFUSING TO ONLY LOOK AT LOUD EVIL BUT TO ALSO NOURISH QUIET GOOD #and like. miss perumal's line about how maybe we need to save the bad guys if we can. maybe that's the only way to really win #and truth being empathy and seeing others and listening to others and having compassion #and truth being important kindness being important #nicholas having every reason not to trust someone not to reach out #and always choosing to reach out anyway #like it's not perfect it's not always the 100 percent right answer #sometimes maybe it is desperate optimism #maybe one day he'll meet someone he can't save #maybe their sister will be that person #but that's why he has friends too #they cover each other's strengths #maybe he can remind them there's kindness in the world #and they can remind him being kind doesn't mean being nice and letting people hurt you #and that sometimes ultimately it doesn't work #but he can remind them like. you still have to try #oguhghhhh im rotating it in my brain idk how coherent this is #anyway the redemption thing was rushed but my god does it make me explode inside #mbs spoilers #the mysterious benedict society #nicholas benedict #mr benedict #mbs disney

Kyojuro analysis part 3: Tengen Edition!

y'know when Tengen says "I had to claw my way to get where I am, I'm no natural talent like Kyojuro," and the episode shows us his brutal shinobi upbringing? and then Tanjiro shows up and panics and Tengen blocks the blow that was headed straight for him??? here's the manga panel (from chapter 88). he throws Tanjiro outta the way:

[more after the cut]

I had the toughest time moving on from the mugen train mini-arc. almost didn't wanna keep watching bc leaving Kyojuro behind felt so awful. he is warmth, he is affection, he is unfaltering faith. his fighting prowess is clearly tempered by years of practice, but yeah, raw talent shines through.

y'know what else comes to Kyo naturally? being nice. straight up. his approach is open and honest. he's not wasting time trying to compensate for his insecurities or project them onto others. we see an incredibly skilled guy with the weight of the world on his shoulders, but Kyo thinks of himself as just. a guy.

so when Tengen says he's no Kyojuro it felt like he was talking right to me. acknowledging how much colder the room feels. admitting that he's the mercenary to Kyojuro's martyr and that's just how things are be now if we want to keep going.

but then this haughty asshole, the same guy who demanded hero worship from these kids mere episodes ago, steps in and handles the shot that was coming for Tanjiro. bc Kyojuro personally asked him to look after them. bc Kyojuro was nice and Tengen isn't, but someone has to be.

it would've made Kyo laugh. he would've bought Tengen dinner as thanks and teased him about it. "there now, was that so hard? looks like you've got a gentle heart after all!"

it did something for me, watching Tengen grieve for his friend. bc that's what that quick protective move was about. it was grief. grief pulls you backwards, it freezes you in place, but you can process it as you move forwards. for Tengen, he has to.

anyway that's how I finally came around to liking Tengen

#snowswords #analysis #demon slayer #kimetsu no yaiba #uzui tengen #uzui #rengoku kyojuro #rengoku #demon slayer spoilers #ok sure maybe im reading into this bc i need ppl to miss Kyojuro. i need ppl to hurt over him #i need his absence to matter!!!!!!!! #but i do think i have a point here. it's important that we went from following Kyo around to following Tengen. #that leadership style shift means something. and i think it's about moving through grief. #grief is the weirdest emotion we have and im so grateful for media that grapples with it #snowfire #Kyojuro analysis

@playstationpuppy replied to your post “you can really tell when a porn artist has never...”:
