#no favoritism here nope

[my-current-obsession]

I decided to post a tier list of my thoughts of all the routes in various otomes that I’ve played. I was inspired to do this because I just finished Norn9, and while I’ll admit that upon finishing the game I have SEVERAL issues with the story as a whole and a few routes in particular, I did love Akito and Heishi enough to add them to my favorite routes of all time, and I’ll definitely return to the game every now and then just to replay those two, if nothing else. Looking forward to the fandisc, too!

I’d be happy to talk about my feelings in depth for basically any otome or specific route, if you’re curious. My absolute favorites are Code: Realize, Collar x Malice, Taisho x Alice, and Even if Tempest.

#norn9 #code realize #collar x malice #even if tempest #cafe enchante #hakuouki #bustafellows #nightshade #cupid parasite #variable barricade #otome #one day i WILL sit down and write an essay for why varibari in particular was ALMOST perfect but then fucked up spectacularly #it's by no means my least favorite otome but i wanted to love it and maybe it could have been one of my favorites #but nope. anyway i should probably finish one of the like 4 games that i kind of just. dropped. #i don't think my tastes are too obvious here. at least my likes have a pretty wide variety. #you can probably tell i'm NOT a fan of yanderes though. and while i rarely hate them i don't really care for the serious Team Dad types

abi’s three hundred one hundred follower celebration: choose your three favorite charmed ships | chris halliwell & bianca atwood

the absolutely chokehold these two have on me. enemies to lovers. changing sides and becoming a better person. finding love when you didn’t think yourself worthy of it. finding this one piece of happiness is a world destroyed and having to sacrifice it to the save the world that never did anything for you. risking your love on the hope that you’ll meet again in a new world.

#charmed #chris halliwell #bianca #chris x bianca #abis100fc #aesthetics #charmed edits #ogwork #usermargaret #hi! sorry i know i didn't ask before tagging you but i saw you going feral (affectionate) over chris and bianca #and you're the one who initially requested my three favorite ships like. two years (oops) ago so uhhh yeah #hopefully that's okay! okay cool yeah #fun fact here is my initial tags from like. two years ago when i fucking finished this bitch (current thots in pararentheses) #i spent eight hours on this on accident without moving #it's now 1:30 (i am queueing this for context) #the middle shippy bit isn't my favorite but i spent about four hours legitimately just trying to find aesthetics for them #and like i got a fair amount of quotes and stuff but actual aesthetic pictures? nope #which is why i ended up with the two edited screenshots in there #so if the middle bit looks bad: pretend it doesnt #the other two will. not be this detailed bc again EIGHT HOURS #(current me note: ha ha ha ha YOU DUMB BITCH) #i need to eat. and pee. and go to bed i have ignored literally every part of being a person for the last eight hours on accident.

#angle under the cut where you can see their eyes because it is NOT very flattering from the front #sharpedo #this is the fucker that zooms after you like a missile in the swsh DLC‚ right? i think it also does that in sv. it's scary honestly #it's so fast. and it makes that big ol' zoomin' effect like the third nozzle in super mario sunshine. i don't remember what it's called but #it's the gray one. super mario sunshine is my favorite mario game which i feel like is not a very popular opinion #but it tracks because i had a gamecube as a kid. so games on that tend to be some of my favorites because nostalgia i guess #luigi's mansion‚ super mario sunshine‚ pokémon colosseum… #i could go on and on about these games. honestly. luigi's mansion is one of my favorites of all time. i still think it's great even as an #adult. it's much better than the other luigi's mansions in my opinion‚ though i guess my opinion Might be clouded by nostalgia #although i would like to think i can look back on it with a critical eye. i still replay it basically once a year cuz it's super short #i think it's super atmospheric and the later two luigi's mansion games don't really capture that same aesthetic #of… what basically amounts to like. a horror aesthetic. which is weird to say because it's a kids' game but #y'know i'm also not putting my whole brain into these tags right now bc i'm distracted but i hope i am making sense #fellow luigi's mansion fans know what i'm talking about. this is not about sharpedo so here is sharpedo #i believe this'll be posting on the last day of my outing when i'll be flying back home. so. finger's crossed #nope i just queued it and it's the day before i'm flying home. either way‚ good luck‚ future me

[mxanigel]

why do some people insist on complaining about a ship on art/fic/etc featuring that ship??

just. move on. we've got so much we can love on. don't waste energy hating.

#I have multiple nope ships in my favorite media #but I'm sure those ships give others serotonin like my faves do for me #so I'm not going to shit on them #because real people are what matter here #(sorry for the negative post. I don't feel well today and I needed to vent.)

nope thoughts

got to see Nope today and it was honestly as good as I was hoping for. so worth the wait!

just like. my mind is still reeling and processing and there’s SO. MUCH. snuck in there i definitely want to go watch it again but just moments like:

- Em messing up how many greats (great, great grandfather) because she had memorized her father’s speech she’s later seen watching :’)

- Ricky/Jupe being like. performatively evasive/dismissive and ever the showman in talking about the Gordy’s Home incident: giving a few details then moving to describing the SNL skit and the actors being sharply cut with his face as a child during the actual tramautic event. it was so evocative and showed so much about his character in an instant.

-while on the subject, the sound editing and choices of music/moments of stillness like in the long scene of the gordy’s home incident. i found myself holding my breath trying to also stay silent.

-also during that, the emphasis on “bad miracles” and focusing on anomalies/odd moments during a traumatic experience with the peculiarity of the shoe standard perfectly upright. Something about focusing on the strangeness of that over the horror surrounding it really hit. I know personally from some traumatic events there were weird things adjacent-but-separate to the experience that I have really strong memories of, glomming onto that instead of the bad thing itself.

- when the crowd was grabbed during the show?  them being dragged inside of JJ actually made me viscerally uncomfortable. 

-Peele’s continued skill with developing tension too. the aliens in the stable scene? the long pause waiting for the head to peak around the corner? immaculate.

-i also hollered at the solemn recitation of the Purple People Eater song. I had a halloween plushy growing up that would sing it and I cannot begin to describe how insane it made me hearing it referenced in this movie oh my god

-AKIRA SLIDE

- Jean Jacket doing the ultimate defensive predator move, OJ standing his ground in that final showdown.

-the auteur camera guy and the idea of the “impossible shot”. There was this emphasis on spectacle and personally, a feeling that really hit home about an impulse in some creatives for the obsession with perfection in their craft: chasing that impossible shot. Yes he mentioned others not deserving to see a miracle, but he also went to record his own impossible shot, no matter the harm to himself. Destroying your self to achieve your own creative pinnacle, no matter the fact that others will not get to witness it.

ok also I know a few folks have said it’s kind of slow but I really didn’t feel that way at all. I think the pacing was really solid and built up well. there were no moments I was bored or like “ok we GET IT” and i think the way the main story was intercut with the Gordy’s incident was really well balanced and showcased the theme and story really well.  Idk. I thought it was really smooth, but it could also be bc i’ve watched too many cheap shitty or really old horror flicks, so I have built up a tolerance for slow builds. even if it does take a bit of time, it pays off really well.

Also, the actors were all incredible and I’m in love with daniel kaluuya and keke palmer

#nope #nope spoilers #my thoughts #i'm mostly incoherent here probably #look i know some were mixed on US but it is absolutely one of my favorite horror movies now and so I have been WAITING and HOPING for this #and it did not disappoint

me reading Babel: yeah Ramy Mirza is definitely giving me ADHD vibes for sure. dunno how intentional that is tho considering I could easily see inspiration for those aspects of his personality being drawn generally from RF Kuang's experience in academia rather than written with specific intent

the condensed Ramy backstory interlude: "in the Wilson household they called him the little professor"

me: ohhhhhhh, ok nevermind then, got it 👍

#have I been doing anything else all day? nope not really #just gladly feeding my brain to RF Kuang on a platter #anyway this is approximately the least interesting or emotional thing I have to say about this book #BUT it entertains me nonetheless so here it gets posted #(Ramy is probably... second favorite character at this point? Griffin has so far claimed first (honk if you're surprised)) #(Robin makes me go aaaaaaahhhhhh and wish I could hug him and then push him behind me and start beating some folks with painful objects) #James liveblogs books

I don't have a favorite OC to draw...

Also, these are wips, still tweaking a lot of details.

i’ve gotten really bad over break at falling asleep in a time frame where i can wake up in the morning and function at capacity. but in other news i’ve written a very angry song aimed at my father. so that’s fun

#good morning everybody i tried so hard to go to sleep when i still had a chance at eight hours #i’m still gonna get seven but that’s like. if i fall asleep immediately #anyway my dad deserves to have a song about his problems i focused too much on my mom with hard to break #although actually the core memory that made me want to write that song is my dad calling me a monster when i was like ten #however the song itself is mostly about the way my mom looks at me. where it’s like i’m not human. which is a mom thing #anyway things have been really bad at home lately like i’ve mostly avoided talking about it but literally earlier today i packed a bag to #run away and just kind of changed my mind when i found out my mom was working #(because the type of running away i mean is not as drastic as it necessarily sounds. mostly just wanted to move into the apartment #permanently and im basically going to do that starting next week like i’ll be supposed to go home but i can always decide not to) #anyway do you kiss my mother with that mouth or let your anger rise and cuss her out? do you want to fuck her or do you say fuck her? #either way you fucking overshare!! do you kiss my mother with that mouth? or tell me to shut up and get the fuck out? #and when you tell those jokes do you understand how deep it goes? cant you see i’m broken from the actions that you chose?? #i just wanna get out of this i just keep getting sadder!! i’d rather not even exist does my involvement matter?? #[/ly] anyway then the song goes on after that for another while. but it’s like. long. so i’ll spare you the rest #came up with the first bit on guitar a few days ago and my dad heard the chords from my room and was like hey that sounds like pink floyd #and i had to be like nope just a chromatic scale. and be glad that i was only whispering the words #anyway if you see me right now no you don’t. and i am so incredibly asleep rn. spooky scary talking in my sleep (/all of this is untrue) #sleeping is like. my favorite hobby. but i am entirely incapable of it when there are this many anxieties floating around my head #it also maybe doesn’t help that i finished the caffeinated lemonade this morning at like 1pm. digging my own hole to lie in here #anyway im going to try and stay after school tomorrow and then go to the apartment from there. rather than see my dad and pretend we’re okay #but hi from after midnight. i miss the days where i could sleep in until ten cause im kind of a night owl i just also really like sleeping #like if i could be blathers from animal crossing and nap for twelve hours getting woke up every once in a while and given a fossil and then #going back to sleep. and then waking up when it’s dark out and every once in a while getting given a fossil. that’s the life #anyway sorry for still being here. i was eyes closed for a while and my do not disturb has been on this whole time. and yet i’m awake #going to post this and go to sleep. though. cause unless we get another snow day in a row then i do have school tomorrow morning #and a snow day would actually be terrible because of. aforementioned not wanting to be at home. and being snowed in is terrifying #ok anyway i really have to go to sleep but yeah. goodnight world wish me luck again with sleeping!! #me. my post. mine. #delete later #ask to tag

when i say ‘in the shadow of two gunmen’ is my favorite west wing episode(s) i mean that it is absolutely my favorite, it is stuck in my heart, i think it’s brilliant

it also means things like ‘you can trace how i conceptualize flashbacks in my own writing in large part back to that episode, and sometimes you can see the fingerprints’

it ALSO means this scene lives in my head rent free and i will take basically any opportunity to homage it 

#i say. for no particular reason. #definitely not related to any daft karate fics i may or may not be working on #that i may or may not have done more research than the show writers on wound care and head trauma and ambulance procedure for #nope. no siree #squire talks #squire in the west wing #*looks at abbey and jed and leo* *looks at amanda and daniel and chozen* dammit how do i always end up here #(i say as if i havent thrown myself in enthusiastically head first every time) #i generally write leo as aro and im still working out writing chozen but im leaning towards gay #but like. the parallels make sense. to me. #something something joke about how the local representative is the second best cars salesman in the district #but like. for real. the flashbacks in mitm would not be there in the same way #if my brain had not imprinted on this episode #okay bartlet for america is my other favorite episode. lets be honest.
