#no point in rushing yet

[jasminesilk]

Kitty maxed out her baking skill while decorating this carrot cake. She's also level 9 in piano, so we're getting closer and closer to finishing this generation!

#I love her so much I'm actually taking my time for once #usually I'm always rushing to get to the next gen by this point #but I don't want to say good bye to Kitty just yet! #oc:kittywhite #ts4sanriolegacy #sanriogen1 #simblr #ts4

I refuse to believe a damn thing I’m seeing thanks <3

#noragami #noragami spoilers #like this just spits in the face of all the themes and messages of the entire story #idk how hiyori being yatos shinki could possibly benefit the narrative #like do they just go home after this and begin the entire cycle of protecting a shinki from ggs again? #or does she conveniently get to remember everything too cuz of some asspull and then they live happily ever after?.? #the whole point was that hiyori should live a full long life #whats the point of yato rising up to father if he just gets ‘taught a lesson’ yet again #and nora too for that matter im just waiting for some payoff after that entire bond she formed with hiyori #like this is just the dumbest way to go out especially for how rushed it is #its so absurd which is why i dont entirely believe this is actually hiyori kicking the can #surely adachitoka gonna pull something here dhsifnksjf #im betting amaterasu will pull some magic cuz a) yato keeping his promise to kill father #and b) something something about a loophole with hiyoris unique half dead status #and the fact that theyre in father weird abstract water dimension #jumbled thoughts ghhhgghh #like im yatori garbage to my core but this aint it

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

hey im interested in getting into ygo do u have any recs or recommended orders of reading/watching theres a lot from the looks of it on anilist so i was wondering about your preferences o:

ANON I ABSOLUTELY DOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I'm only about halfway through the sequels (i just started arc-v) so I'm not like the most knowledgable person in the world but I can give you my personal recs. COME CLOSER!!!!!

First of all, every yugioh series is totally independent from each other (sort of - gx is set directly after dm and leans on its worldbuilding quite a bit, and 5ds takes place in the same universe as well though a bit further in the future, but you can watch them on their own with no problem) so if there's one in particular that grabs you there's nothing stopping you from jumping straight to it - that being said I've been watching all of the anime in release order (ygo dm -> gx -> 5ds -> zexal -> arc-v (i am here) -> vrains -> sevens -> go rush) and I've been enjoying it a lot. I also wouldn't recommend watching arc-v in particular without having watched the ones before it as it probably won't really have any impact for you. Now for specific recommendations (in order) !!!! SORRY THIS GOT REALLY LONG.

yugioh manga - START HERE !!!!! the original story by kazuki takahashi. high school boy inherits an ancient magical artifact containing a spirit that's really, really good at playing games (and inflicting psychological torment on bullies). I have to give it a warning for some shonen-typical creepiness towards female characters in the early chapters, but it's REALLY worth reading and it's a story that's so near and dear to my heart. this is the fastest and easiest way to start loving yugioh. Its worth noting that the original ygo manga is the ONLY manga (afaik) that tells the same story as its anime + i haven't read any of the others aside from a little bit of the gx manga, so the rest of my recs are anime-only

(optional) yugioh season 0 / 1998 / toei - a one-season anime based on the early manga chapters. if you like the horror vibes of the manga you'll enjoy this a lot. really fun 90s animation with a killer soundtrack, but generally not considered """canon"""

yugioh duel monsters - this is the one most people watched as a kid. it's an adaptation of the manga, but with most of the early chapters cut out so as to get straight to the card games + some extra arcs added in. this is most people's favorites and the most popular! you can also watch this in lieu of the manga, but you will be missing a LOT of the early story or experiencing it in condensed form (and the plot of ygo dm is already patchy At Best).

yugioh gx - direct anime sequel to ygo dm. boy goes to gamer school to become the next king of games + high school shenanigans ensue. gx is a really charming, goofy romp with a super lighthearted s1, an interesting s2 and a shockingly engrossing s3. s4 (the last 25 episodes or so) never got dubbed in english so if you're a dub enjoyer like me you'll have to switch to subs to get the full story

yugioh 5ds - direct sequel to gx, though further in the future than gx was to dm. card games on motorcycles are real and so is class warfare and the surveillance state. iirc this is the only yugioh anime that was rated 4+ - it has a slightly more mature tone but there's still plenty of lighthearted fun to be had. Really strong s1 with a second season that falls off a little bit, at least to me, but is still absolutely worth watching. s2 is missing a number of episodes in the english dub, so again if you're a dub enjoyer you will find yourself quite confused by the end. its probably worth watching s2 entirely sub-only (something i still need to do)

yugioh zexal - the first of the sequels that is possibly set in a different universe entirely (or just the really distant future). middle school boy gets a magic necklace from his dad that has an alien inside. zexal is a lot of peoples favorites and now that I've watched it I GET IT. Really strong story + pacing from beginning to end and a really endearing cast of characters. It's silly and goofy and fun but DAMN DOES IT COHERE.

yugioh arc-v - the first of the sequels that is DEFINITELY set in a different universe entirely. this is the one I'm watching currently so i don't have much to say about it yet GET BACK TO ME ON THIS ONE. this one boy's dream is to become the greatest clown who ever lived (tragic) (inspiring)

INHALES LOUDLY. that was probably more info than you wanted BUT I HOPE THAT HELPED AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT? again I recommend reading the original ygo manga first and i think that will give you a good idea of whether you are down with the yugioh silliness or not. It's important to remember that this is a very silly anime series about card games but like. As long as you can buy into the worldbuilding and accept that this is just How Things Are in the world of ygo, it's suuuuuuuch a fun world to sink your teeth into.

#.txt #I like................................Yugioh. #and then after arc-v is vrains -> sevens -> go rush but like i said im not there yet #but i will probably be there. soon. i have been watching arc-v at an alarming rate #i thought about adding the movies to this post but i. decided to spare you (for now) #therw was also no room for a dub vs. sub discussion though that is a discussion i'm happy to have #i watch dubs mostly because it's much easier for me to focus on but also because. i simply. like them #also because yugioh is silly to me. and the dubs add to the silliness #but sometimes the dub doesnt give you all the information so you gotta Know. #i found out there is like a major plot point of zexal thats revealed in the last episode BUT ONLY IN THE SUB. NOT IN THE DUB #but thats how it is. that's the price we pay for silly voice #i don't think i would have gotten through 5ds without the dub. greg abbey is so good as yusei

i've talked about this before, but the introduction of the hound and what it stands for re: silver eyes after we learned more about them during the conversation ruby and maria had in argus is so, so good.

the light is fueled by the desire to preserve life. that is how ruby manages to use her powers; she wants to protect her friends.

but it only works against grimm, the darkness incarnate, the opposite of light. and that's where the hound comes in: what do you do when the darkness incarnate has light within it? are you going to use the light to destroy the very life it is meant to preserve? is there even preserving that life anymore, or is it already dead, only kept alive by the darkness? and wouldn't that be twisted, when it is the darkness that is preserving that life, in a very bastardized way?

it is quite a dilemma to have, more so when you add cinder—who was mentioned by ruby in her conversation with maria—into the mix. ruby already almost killed cinder once, on top of the beacon tower, with her light, which led to—incidentally—cinder becoming even more grimm—certainly more visibly so.

maria says that the only way ruby can get practice in is by "trial by fire", which is mostly about using her powers to protect people against the grimm, but i think there's a double meaning afoot that has to do with the purpose behind the light:

if there's any chance of helping those who have met the same fate as the hound and it's something ruby's willing to do (and why wouldn't she?), then the first step towards that goal is cinder—and because the light is meant to preserve life against the darkness, it does not lead to cinder's death like it almost did the first time around.

like. c'mon. this is a storyline that has been set-up since the very last episode of V3 and it's steadily coming along and watching it happen in real time is somehow mind-boggling to me. like they're really going for it. this is happening, where else would it lead with all this build-up, with the pieces they've got so far?

yes yes this is me basically being amazed at basic storytelling but after getting burnt by one too many shock twists, it should be allowed.

#rwby #ruby rose #cinder fall #''what... is that?'' #''that was... a person.'' #IT SURE WAS #just watching them take their time with it without rushing it or constantly peppering hints in is. nice? #like it's so obvious when you know what to look for but if not it can easily pass you by #and they're just trusting their process giving just enough to further the storyline forward without pointing neon signs at it #it's there and you will see it all once it happens if you didn't before #there's just enough doubt surrounding it because of everything else going on like. ruby HELPING cinder? in this economy??? #and the answer is YES but not quite yet #we'll get there when we get there so just sit tight #okay that's me gushing about rwby's storytelling for the night

i haven't been having the best time lately

#sorry vent incoming in tags. you dont have to read you really can skip this #/so the day before yesterday i had a major argument with mom. about something incredibly small but she got super mad at me (basically i #suggested she might have made a mistake while cleaning the oven bc when i turned it on i smelled and felt burning chemicals. like- #-teary eyes and sneezing i wasn't imagining it. and she got super mad and started yelling) #for the whole afternoon it was either silent treatment or yelling abt how what i said is 'unforgivable' #and ofc rejecting apologies and attempts to calm the situation down bc 'this isn't something you can just fix with an apology' #i literally just asked if she's sure everything went right with the oven cleaning. bc it was done in a rush. #so anyway at 10pm i HAD to get the situation to a manageable level bc i was starving and she was in the living room (we have an open kitchen #) so if i wanted to get sth to eat i'd have to confront her. so screaming match ensued again with me apologizing and explaining my point - #and her yelling over me. it went on for 40 minutes. finally after me apologizing like 70 times she calmed down but said that 'what i did is- #-unacceaptable and she does not give permission for it to happen again'. i went to sleep without getting anything to eat of course. #and this fucked me up. bc i really thought we were doing better. i really thought our relationship would only get better now esp after we - #-bonded on vacation. but turns out not. and shes still lowkey mad. #THEN yesterday im studying for a zoology exam and mention it on the phone with her #she goes 'who do you have zoology for'. i respond with the name of the teacher. confused. #'professor (x) died on friday.' #?????????? #'it's not published anywhere yet so yeah YOU have to tell your class' #i had a panic attack legit. i threw up from stress. i couldnt do it. first off bc of shock and secondly bc how am i supposed tojust jump #into group chat like 'oh hey btw professor died' #thankfully the info was posted officially by uni at 10pm. so i didnt have to do it. but mom kept pressing me to the whole day #i was nauseaous all of yesterday bc of it. i couldnt manage to study anymore after the shock. sure he was older but he was so energetic and #seemed healthy. i wouldnt have expected it it was just. a huge shock. im still not over it #like you cant know someone for half a year then not be shaken when they suddenly die yknow. and mom is lowkey making fun of me like #'what were you emotionally attached??? he wasnt anyone close' #no he wasnt but im still shaken. and being mocked is only making it worse. as is having to keep studying for his subject for the next few- #-days. #sorry ok vent over theres just. a lot happening for me and im struggling i needed to let it out ig. theres just too much at once #vent #death mention

And will likely get out of being carded without depression #And I don't know much about Yuama but does she get any time to grieve? Or get an arc about this? #Like I don’t want Yuama to have an arc based almost entirely around a man even if it’s her brother #But she could give a really interesting perspective about loss at a young age. #I don’t know if she’ll get that or if she’s already had an arc during season two #But I’m just hoping she’ll be able to be sad and have time before another plot point occurs. #Also if whatever I say is wrong please tell me cause I just really wanna know about these two twin’s deals after this. #talks with buzzsaw #Ali learns about go rush

(this got negative lmao. thoughts after the hsr 1.4 trailer)

im ngl i was genuinely so let down by the handling of the HCQ lore and how the xianzhou arc mishandled a bunch of character and scene potential that i like. Actually didnt think anything was going to happen on that front at all so now idk how the hell to even react to the trailer n jinglius quest at least touching up on some of it 💀💀💀

like its a little hard to remain invested w hsr and its clumsily executed stories with great but nonetheless tragically underutilized potential when im literally being fed a 5 course gourmet dinner after 3 years of nothing with childes current lore developments. idk i love the hsr cast n all the lore but its been. Complicated

like not even. "shits terrible hated all of it" just. Bro this couldve been so much more. it wasnt bad overall it was just Whelming with fairly prominent issues there n there

#i was mentally so clocked out i swear. like i hate being too nitpicky and negative but like #straight up shit like genuinely despising dan fengs english va casting and directing lowkey just ruined the animated short for me #as well as the short itself being so.... eh. sure the point was dh having been groomed into demonizing df by the preceptors but #just watching df get depicted as what is p much a preceptor propaganda piece just didnt land right w me #like arghh. blades immense mishandling in 1.2 story. xianzhou story in general being way too rushed yet way too slow to release all the sam #welp these tags got negative uhhhh. i loved dhil mission tho!!!! That was amazing i loved his and bailus dynamic #but anyway. im wary but lets see how they handle things in jinglius story #rambles #hsr

[kimmkitsuragi]

im doing the prison break out from the moonrise and literally everyone except wulbren and one random tiefling died 💀

#im gonna save this and try again lmao #tactician kicking my ass but honestly? #if these guys didnt rush into the fight and minded their business they wouldnt die lmao #it's the grymforge all over again. they DIDNT have to die... but i was so fed up w that fight at that point so rip #i love how lynn is trying so hard to be the selfless hero yet... nothing works out #playing bg3

guys... would you still love me if i dropped out of that degree i was whining about for the last 3 months🥲

#i have not decided YET but. SIGH #i know it's only been 4 weeks but it's not what i expected it to be :( #and it requires MUCH more work from me bc of that and i simply don't have enough time #the way this degree works is kind of insane #and just looking at it realistically the most reasonable decision for me at this point is to drop it #and i know it may seem rushed bc it's only been a month but i kinda have to make a decision asap #and on one hand i want to stay delusional and tell myself i can do this but let's be real😭 #there's no way i'll be able to survive there til the end of semester #i'm ALREADY not passing after 4 weeks of classes 😶 #and i'm barely catching up with my master's degree which is a priority for me so. #god damn i hate it here i hate having to decide things like this #might delete later bc alsjdhajfjjd yall don't need my Dilemma and Complaining here #agnes talking

okay lads what did we think of that

#THAT OPENING SCENE #yeah kat and thomas's relationship was rushed maybe to the point where it felt shoehorned in #but that opening scene OUGH #chyler leigh the actress that you are #the way my heart just sank when kat realized cyrus would be dead if it weren't for her like this girl does not need to feel yet again #that she's messed everything up. oh the parallels! #very good hallmark very good #<- words I should have no right saying and yet here I am #the way home hallmark #though I do feel they rush by the major emotional beats like thomas's and colton's death #and also I'm a bit ?? over the ending because it almost seemed like kat expected jacob? when I thought we all knew he wasn't going back? #and also by pond mechanics he couldn't do that? #I don't think they gave it as much cliffhanger suspense as they could've #also did I cry when del and kat finally finally made up? maybe! #and it was all because of VICTOR my WORD #casey is a mystery and a wonder and a marvel I love them #and SUSANNA good GRIEF that was so good #and I'm still not on board with sam lol #del and colton are perfect it just feels so wrong for sam to come in #what an episode what a season what a series #season three save me save me season three #earl crow ramblings

lyrics that don’t make any sense being about who they’re purported to be about (an incomplete list):

“i get mystified by how this city screams your name”

“i don’t belong and my beloved, neither do you”

“i hate accidents except when we went from friends to this”

“you and me, we got big reputations”

“you’re the west village”

“if someone comes at us, this time i’m ready”

“leave with my head hung, you are the only one who seems to care”

“i want to transport you to somewhere the culture's clever, confess my truth in swooping, sloping cursive letters”

#gaylor swift #i think singing about secrecy/privacy is fair as a celeb much as people wanna argue that it's an inherently gay thing #but as much as she sings about it when her relationships are NOT secret like yeah there's something to be said about that #and for sure any fucking friends to lovers lyrics like COME ON that's not the narrative and yet people fall for it #honorary mention to gold rush bc that is clearly a song about a relationship that no longer is #and idk why they would want it to be about him lmao #but the point of the post is things that just do not fit the person or narrative #i could make a joke about 'karma is the guy on the screen' but i don't wanna sound mean #nothing wrong with not having some HUGE career obvs a major point of midnights is how much that's fucked her up #even if it's still very much what she wants to keep #but i feel like it shifts from 'he's just a normal everyday dude and that's so good for her to have' #to 'he's a star too and understands the pressures she experiences' like you can't have it both ways #anyway feel free to add yours!

To get good at telling stories... writing stories... one must... practice by writing stories ;-;

#rant #i tell u what i think id have functioned well in a wrbnovel publishing format. but i dont think #any good sites for that exist in english as of yet? (i think theres one but its contract is Yikes i heard) #but just like. the idea of publishing chapter ever 1-2 weeks until youre done. maybe 20 chapters maube 2000. maybr you never finish. #most of the chapters free and maybe idk you make some advertizing money on ads viewed on your chapter page. or make the last couple extras #paid only idk. but the big thing? the point im getting to - sorry i got lost in the sauce - #my point is: you probably DO write shit at first. or write fine with some SHIT ARCS or rushed chapters to hit ur weekly updates #and 5 years from then youll look back and wanna overhaul some of those fucking stories (weve seen many a jjwxc writer revise later). #but wow will you have practiced writing a LOT. #youll have 100k 500k 1 million 5 million words worth of writing under your belt in a few years #and youll probably be a hell of a lot better at knowing how to make more chaptwrs on average interezsting and Building Consistently to your #main plot and arcs. you'll probably get much bettwr at raw scheduling of wriitng and pre-planning that works for you and structure mapping #youll have a much better idea of your personal strengths whrn you need to lean on them for a rough month when your story's turned #into a mess. youll value your own writing more (i hope) cause LOOK how much you fucking accomplished. #like. npss? dmbjs author? idk about others but i can definitely see the improvement in wriitng skill #between dmbj book 1 and the recent heihua book and mountain village book #(in terms of style in word choice. and goals for the story set out to be told) #i look at priest and newer novels by priest are as impressive as any literary novel ive ever analysed #(and older ones while i also love i do see their slightly rougher word choice and how some were executed a bit #more up and down/not as tightly) #i just. agh. i am :c feeling that ill probably write 200k words this year #and none of it will be as good as i want. but i NEED to write these first 200k #because the only way i get better. get to the way i want to write. is to make the progress of improvement with this first 200k. #ToT fun fact i wrote 170k words this year. WOW. and maybe 400k words of fanfic in the 4 years prior (so 100k words on average) #i know i am imptoving. i just gotta keep at it. #also? annoying i cant focus my attention lmao. 160k words is mkre than enough to finish a 1st draft novel #but me? i split those among like 20 projects this year. so the novel most written so far is still only at 40k #and im probably going to need 60k more words to finish it
