#not being able to watch it easily

[franchufeuillassier]

you should watch the wnba because it's entertaining. it's not a charity or a cause or a social justice movement. it's just a fun time.

Yeah i know but i already watch like 30 different sports and i can barely keep up with those 😭

Plus i believe that unless you pay for the league pass (that i can't afford) you can't watch it in Spain :(

#i did not mean my post in a “you are all watching the WNBA because its a social justice issue” im sorry if i made it sound like that 😭😭😭 #i follow the wings on Twitter and i like to more or less keep up with they are doing #but with the season having a weird schedule #the matches being at American times #not being able to watch it easily #and my day literally having like 5 sports per day.... #i just can't :( #i do watch the Spanish women nt when its wc/euros/Olympics time tho #my day having 5 sports per day yes #its 5 am i forgot how to English

It is kinda funny seeing people talk about Seungmin lately because he definitely has gotten more bold and confident for sure. He's also just getting opportunities to be perceived as an individual on his own as well for the first time in a while but it's still jarring to see people be like Aw he was always such a quiet goodie two shoes little nerd and it's like...... he was the one to leave and seek out his own vocal coach and blatantly talk about it, which of course lead to I.N and Lee Know also doing the same, he was the one to go on bubble and tell off sasaengs who used to camp outside their old dorm for invading members privacy but also because it effected other residents and staff at the complex, something that i'm certain upper management wouldnt have been happy about, and he wasn't curt or nice about it either. like he's never actually been a wallflower, he's always had a pretty strong backbone and seems to stick to his principals, its not really new.

#even silly shit like bringing up drinking even tho staff has clearly told him not too #like yeah its silly but its still sticking to his guns of being like we arent actually children anymore thanks #the food thing too like in an old 2 kids room he said something about not being able to eat on his bday bc they were filming so evidently #there was a moment in time when he caved to the shitty diet obsession kpop had but ever since hes never really said anything like it again #instead hes telling everyone to eat well and reminding people to have dinner or lunch every other day #even the comment about growing his hair out but then being like lol the stylist probably wont like me saying that or whatever #and like the yeah im going to the gym but im not lifting. dont expect me to bulk up. im doing it for stamina<< that made me cackle #bc i did see people on twt being like but what if seungmin got buff tho omg hed be so hot 🥺 Well him bein buff isnt what this is about #so he went and made sure people were realistic. not everyone needs to be noticeably cut yk #idk maybe bc i watched most all the skz content all the way through #and now i go back and gif stuff i notice patterns more easily than if youve been here for longer and havent watched older stuff #for a while- maybe? idk its just funny but i also see takes a lot and have to stop myself from going No <3 #anyway this is my obligatory insane ksm tangent of the week. see you in 5 minutes. #🐶

"i feel like luffy knows right from the start who to fight." chopper gets it! the rest of the crew is waiting for him out on the bridge because they know this isn't their fight and all they can do is wait for their captain. the marines can't believe that this tiny group of pirates wiped out cp9 because this straw hat was a rookie, and the rest of the crew shouts out to him that they made it to the bridge, they got robin, and all he has left to do is kick lucci's ass and they can leave. and luffy smiles.

#the marines: WE HAVE IDENTIFIED PIRATE HUNTER ZORO AND NICO ROBIN #... and NO ONE ELSE #god zoro the reputation you have that your name is known throughout the east blue and across the grand line #(yes i know he got his first bounty poster after they crossed BUT THE POINT BEING his name is KNOWN by many and was early on/first) #luffy picking a fight with the 'big bad' can easily be written off as 'oh he's just picking fights with the biggest guy' which yes but no #picking fights is more than just throwing a punch at the first person he sees #and it's been well established from jaya that you need to be able to gauge which fights are worth it #(luffy's fight with bellamy is actually one of my current favorites because it's him yammering and then just one punch) #and i think luffy's logic is a mix of things! one being that this guy has it coming because he had a major hand in robin's plight here #and other that he's the captain so is it not his job to look after his crew? take on the fights they shouldn't have to? #it's very important that each straw hat (and pirates as a whole but esp this crew because they're small) can pull their own weight #but you know luffy won't be pulling any of his punches #does any of this make sense my brain is fried #kate watches op #enies lobby #this was a post about chopper lmao

they should bring back that period of time back when yo-kai watch was fairly popular in america where you could get yo-kai watch stuff at dollar tree. that's where all my yo-kai watch figures n medals n stuff are from-

#puppy rambles #yo-kai watch #aside from the medals i got from the blind bags i got for my birthday and my yo-kai watch which i also got for my birthday (from amazon) #and my jibanyan n rudy plushies (from ebay. seemingly from a ufo catcher originally also they came with string loops attached) #oh and also i have a komajiro medal moments figure somewhere that a school friend gave me. i mean i say friend #but the friendship was literally just cuz me her and her i think cousin who went to the same school #were like the only three people there who liked yo-kai watch- #wonder if either of them still do. i haven't seen them since elementary school #even though logically they would've gone to my middle school. guess they must've moved #god i miss when yo-kai watch was still kinda popular 😔 i mean i like the fandom being small it's nice but #having more people to talk about it with was nice too. and being able to get stuff easily #if i knew about 3 releasing when it first released i'd probably have one of the 3‚000 copies of it that exist- #or is it 4‚000. sorry i'm sick and also kinda fluctuating between hyperfixations rn-

In this year so far I'm already over halfway to last year's total wordcount of published-on-Tumblr writing.

Now, my pace is still erratic and who knows what the rest of the year will look like, but I might be getting better at producing writing?? At riding inspiration more easily and actually getting the things I want to do finished in some form?? Big if true.

#riding inspiration is still not the same as being able to work on what you've DECIDED to work on and sticking to it regardless #(a skill i admire and envy in those who have mastered it) #but! finding inspiration more easily and following it more smoothly is still a cool development! IF it's actually happening #i still need more data :P #(watch me write nothing else for eight months now that i've said this)

For my first clip uploaded here, I figured it would only be right to have it be tracer gameplay. Here are some highlights from Nico of team VARREL against Hayabusa Gaming* from today February 27th, 2024. *Hayabusa Gaming does not have a liquipedia page to link to

#owcs #owcs clips #hayabusa gaming #varrel #overwatch #*hayabusa gaming does not currently have a liquipedia page so I can't link them yet. I also don't know their twitter even though they- #probably have one sorry :( #also for some reason I can't see the vod on the english channel so I have to link to the jp one. Sorry for not being able to link to- #english speaking casters :( #I probably won't put this much effort into most clip uploads but I'm trying to determine the precedent for myself going forward #but since plenty of teams have relatively 'unknown' players #aka tier 2 and the actually invisible group of t3 players #I want to make sure I put the names out there and link to @ liquipedia so individual players can easily be looked up :) #esp in cases where it's just the broadcast making a clip comp of a specific player #hence linking Nico's twitter #I also don't watch most games. I don't have the energy to do that like I did with the earlier seasons of OWL #edit: god this is so low quality that it feels unwatchable #edit 2: I literally made a youtube account and removed the original video from this post to change it to a youtube embed #Youtube

[thelostgirl21]

So, I just stumbled upon an article that spoils the whole Season 3 part 2 of "The Witcher" (although it hasn't even been released here yet), and

I am... not okay... at all...

HUGE SPOILERS AFTER THE CUT... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED...

Ok, first off, I was 100% expecting Dijkstra and Philippa to decide to get rid of Vizimir (given that he was becoming a liability), and replace him with Radovid.

The moment that the King started making decisions that didn't fit with Dijkstra's vision of what was best for Redania, I was absolutely certain that they'd find the idea of putting that spare on the throne more and more appealing.

And I'd read that, in the books, Vizimir was killed (by Philippa, that betrays Dijkstra, in a sense, by hiding her involvement in Vizimir's murder), and the country thus becomes ruled by a Regency Council lead by Dijkstra.

So, I'm not sure exactly what this will mean for this version of King Radovid.

From what I understand, officially it's Queen Hedwig, Vizimir's widow that inherits the Kingdom.

However, the Queen is too devastated and indisposed to fulfil those duties, and thus its the Regency Council that remains in charge until Radovid (who is 13 at the time) eventually retakes his Kingdom.

The book doesn't turn him into a villain. It says he gets even with those that humiliated him and his mother (whatever that is supposed to imply) and then passes in history as "Radovid the Stern". i.e.

Radovid already knows that these two had Queen Hedwig killed, and would likely at least suspect that they were behind his brother's murder as well... that is, if they don't outright tell him!

So, I really have a bad feeling about this...

Because I'm guessing they would have been completely stupid to give him the crown, if there was any chance for Radovid, at all, to hold them accountable of their crimes (I'm thinking double Regicide is pretty bad, as far as murders go...).

Like I'm suddenly considering that all of the Palace's military forces and key politicians are actually loyal to Dijkstra and Philippa rather than the King, and Radovid is essentially put into a situation where he can either:

A) Collaborate with Dijkstra and Philippa in ruling the country. i.e. Offer his ideas and input, but nevertheless allow them to make the final decisions. Be their advisers, but otherwise "King" in name and appearances only.

Or

B) Join his brother and his darling Queen Hedwig in death, with them finding someone else to rule the country that would be more receptive to their way of doing things.

Maybe King Radovid can wind up being cunning enough to outsmart them, at some point, and become the true ruler of the country...

But the reason why I'm NOT OKAY, is that Radovid was apparently planning to go after Jaskier to help him and Geralt find Ciri!!!

But, unless they are planning to get rid of Dijkstra and Philippa early on in Radovid's reign, it seems that King Radovid is meant to replace Queen Hedwig as Dijkstra and Philippa's "puppet" in the wake of Vizimir's assassination, while also having the potential to oppose them/take over later on.

And I'm guessing that the show runner might have been uncomfortable with the character of Hedwig being portrayed as basically incapable of taking care of the Kingdom or even her son in the wake of her husband's death.

Sure, the show chopped off her head! But she was portrayed as someone that was organizing political meetings in secret between the Nilfgard Empire and Redania, and getting involved in politics alongside her husband, at least!

Not so lost following his death that she couldn't function!

So, it almost seems like they chose to replace Hedwig with Radovid, to spice things up for Dijkstra and Philippa instead.

That means that Radovid was honest about his feelings for Jaskier, and wanted to be with him.

And I've heard - from someone that saw episode 6 in advance - that Jaskier gets totally heartbroken because something happens that makes him believe that Radovid was only pretending to like him.

So, if Radovid was prevented from chasing after Jaskier due to a slight case of "suddenly becoming King", then he wouldn't have been able to let him know that he was being sincere, that he was romantically falling in love with him, and that he had planned to come find him to help him and Geralt get Ciri back.

I mean, Joey did warn us about their romance having a "star-crossed lovers" edge to it... But whyyyyyyyyyy?!?!?

(At the same time, I'm so relieved that it appears that Radovid never wanted to break our poor puppy's heart...)

#The Witcher Spoilers #Jaskier #Radovid #Radskier #I thought reading those spoilers would help me sleep more easily and wait until tomorrow morning before being able to watch the show... #But I think I made it worse...

oh yeah i started watching extraordinary attorney woo and by god it deserves the praise.

i was kinda hesitant jumping in because i thought it would be a VERY stereotypical “autistic genius” trope but it’s actually really good at representing the full autistic experience. i could honestly go on and on about what they did well (illustrating how special interests are a means of processing the world, body language that’s so accurate that the main character has one of the exact same stims as me, explicit use of terms like echolalia and teaching the audience what it means, the fact that it’s female autistic rep in the first place); but what hits most was her monologue in the first episode.

i can’t stop thinking about it. she talks about how she’s viewed as both a genius and an idiot; a genius because of her good grades and technical intellect, but an idiot because she struggles with understanding certain implicit things (like the timing of entering revolving doors). and god it hit so hard. it’s probably the best i’ve ever seen my personal experience with autism represented. having a 4.0 and honors isn’t going to save you from not knowing how to navigate crowds or social situations; in some situations you feel smarter than everyone around you, and in others you’re the most clueless.

#zero.txt #i never watch tv but i’m now in love with a show #extraordinary attorney woo #actuallyautistic #i was thinking about it again bc i’m thinking about how in less than two months i’ll be on a plane to shibuya #and i’m not worried about gathering data for my thesis. that’s the easy part. #i’m worried about riding the trains. even in new york’s subway when i was left alone i got so confused and frustrated i staeted sobbing #like the fear and frustration of not being able to navigate things easily alone because of how your brain reacts so intensely

In defense of the original, while I do agree the episodic vibes were a bit much at times, and it was something I kinda had to work my way through slowly rather than binging all in one...

I do kinda prefer the more gradual approach to laying out the information; getting to know both the setting and who Vash is as a person and the different facets of both, before getting the context that lets it all click into place. Plus the main quartet having ample time to grow together so that later developments have stronger emotional weight.

I will agree that Knives definitely suffered in focus, and I am interested in how Stampede handles him, but admittedly he wasn't really what I watched Trigun for in the first place. ^^;

yeah my gripe is less with the way the setting and characters were handled and more with the way the. actual plot was handled. it honest to god felt to me like they realized about halfway through their run that they didnt have enough episodes left to get the backstory in in a cohesive way so they just shoved it all into one episode and pretended that that explanation didn't create more questions than it answered. you spend 20 episodes teasing your audience like "ooooh what is vash?? clearly hes not human!! clearly there's something going on!!! don't you want to know whats going on?? keep watching and you'll totally understand whats going on!!" and then your big reveal is that. He Is Not Human. which is something that any idiot who has watched the last 20 episodes has already figured out. the question the audience ACTUALLY has at that point in the runtime is what, EXACTLY, is vash, and what the context is behind the conflict he and knives are in. the backstory episode explains that Knives Is Here, and it gives context to the setting and everything, but it pissed me off that it STILL didn't answer the actual mysteries i cared about, i.e. vash's real identity and the thing with the gun and his fucking arm and knives's motivations and everything. maybe that gets answered in the last episode that i neglected to watch but personally I prefer a story where i UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON by the time the final confrontation hits. with trigun it got to a point where vash was going out for the final battle with knives and i STILL didn't know who vash was, who knives was, where they came from, or what the hell their motivations were. that just made that final confrontation seem so wholly uninteresting to me that i didn't even feel like watching it. it was like "hey look vash is fighting a cardboard cutout that he is Afraid Of. Why? lmao idk man. probably has something to do with that weird spaceship that shows up in one whole episode before this point. not going to tell you how tho." I think some writers have this tendency to think that mystery = good writing and that not revealing anything to your audience will consistently draw them in for more, but that only works for so long. after 20 episodes of virtually net 0 information it got to feel like I was being strung along and like my questions were never going to be answered, so I gave up on the show in the final hour. Again, i'm not saying it was BAD necessarily and i understand the context in terms of writing and production that led to the show being produced that way but i think it really noticeably suffers due to the fact that it refuses to give the audience ANYTHING but crumbs of information for about 80% of it's runtime. that being said. i did genuinely like a lot of it. it has its moments. im not trying to discourage anyone from watching it or anything lol i just think stampede is a little more successful in keeping the viewer engaged in the story throughout by constantly feeding you bits of information and actually answering your questions as they become plot-relevant.

#asks #wow hi. trigun essay intermission sorry everyone #this same thing applies to virtually every villain in the show. nick. zazzie. the guy with the blue hair whose name i dont even remember. #you get like. the barest snippets of information about them. you know theyre working for knives somehow #you know that they've been somehow modified? and that their titles identify them as relating to knives #in nick's case you know that his whole thing has something to do with the orphanage and the priesthood #but beyond that you get... nothing. and you're expected to just speculate?? figure it out somehow??? #nick especially pissed me off bc it got to a point where he was DEAD and i still didn't understand what the fuck his deal was #despite him being a supporting character for almost the entirety of the show. he still got only like half an episode dedicated to explainin #his backstory and motivations and EVERYTHING. and then he DIED #and like. to be fair. i think the lack of explanation worked in some places. it worked decently with vash #but it worked with vash BECAUSE vash is pretty much an open book as a character. you can easily tell what he's thinking and feeling #and it's not hard to extrapolate things about him from what you see. his pacifism. the fact that he's not human. his past trauma etc etc #you can get a good portion of that just by watching him throughout the show #but i think that only works BECAUSE he shows so much of himself. for a character like nick who is deliberately closed off #and NEVER shows his true self expecting the audience to be able to understand & empathize with him based solely on what he projects #just doesn't work. because it's made clear to the audience from the getgo that nick is not the person he claims he is #and that he takes steps to never show too much of himself. so when his backstory shows up randomly in one episode #and then he immediately dies. it leaves you kinda like. okay. what the hell was that. who was that guy anyway #you know??? #ok rant over fr

most if not all of my worst nightmares are literally always zombie apocalypse related

#it's such an awful situation and without a doubt my first instinct is always to kill myself but the problem is that my family is usually #ALSO apart of the dream and i so i cant do that shit and the dream is really just the dread of not being able to escape an easily escapable #scenario bc theres ppl you care about who also care about you and you dont wanna leave em behind to suffer alone or wonder where youve gone #also yeah the zombies but thats only like 1/3 of the fear those nighmares make me feel #im not waking up in a cold sweat but I'm unnerved i dont like it #kae.txt #those ones also always seem to be the dreams that are hardest to wake up from too #i was just thinking damn i have way too many dreams that are zombie related #i dont watch read or play zombie shit where is it coming from

i literally cannot wait until there is actually other life sim games like the sims that are actually publicly available to play!!! like Tiny Life is out now and i do definitely want to play it but... come 2024 we might have Life by You and perhaps Vivaland in our hands... also i am Really Really awaiting Paralives as well i am PRAYING for a release date to be announced. like i will exercise as much patience as i can but tbh ts4 is depriving me (i only have base game + my first pet stuff + desert luxe kit so i dont have 95% of the gameplay i want .) and i would love to just be able to have something else to play too??

#affie txt #lby is coming in march 2024 i think and i am EXCITED i hope it is good when it comes out... i am tempted #and i dont. know much about vivaland but MULTIPLAYER LIFE SIM??? IM INTRIGUED #finally . my friends can watch me build square houses in real time #i am still incredibly interested in Tiny Life tbh... i played the demo and its really cute 🥺 #it really is tiny life... wow... #and its moddable!!!! plus since its pixel art i could probably pretty easily mod in custom clothes and hairs and stuff #life sims being moddable is so important btw like actually. i genuinely think since like #life sims are so open-ended and customizable by design that NOT having mod support is genuinely a HUGE downside #though of course ts4 also. doesnt have official mod support or modding tools which is a bummer but i mean #ive simply accepted that the sims series just. will never have official modding support #especially with the new one supposedly being f2p 😰 #THIS IS NOT A SIMS 4 HATE POST I SWEAR its just . i really wish it was just a 40-60$ game #and all the dlc content was just INCLUDED in the base game for that price #i genuinely would be 100% okay with that price!!! sure its a bit expensive but like #COMPARED TO 1000+ USD FOR THE FULL GAME + DLC EXPERIENCE ITS . A LOT BETTER #like ill happily pay for ur game!!!! but i will Not get out a literal Loan to be able to afford it #sigh. anyways i am really looking forward to the new life sims coming out!!! #i think lby will probably come out first so im excited to get my hands on it hehe

You know that episode of The Simpsons where Homer posts pictures of Maggie over the "Don't Forget: You're Here Forever" sign at work so that it says "Do It For Her"? I bought a keychain that says that in anticipation of my impending full-time return to an office for the new job.

#I've been waiting for a start date for over 2 weeks and just got a text that I should get one 'any day now' #and honestly at this moment in time I'm feeling sort of ambivalent about it #because honestly at this moment in time there's a part of me that regrets going looking for a new job #because there's been a change at my current one and now I actually have work and purpose while still being 100% remote #and that will go away at the new job which means I won't be able to do things like watch nooj and gif and write as easily as I do now #not to mention be home with my daughter and for my dad #but at the same time I know I can't just leave a 25% raise on the table JUST to stay full remote #hence the keychain #I'm feeling better about going to the new job than not. It's just change and I don't cope well with that.

Just saw the fnaf movie and I am literally so glad that my favorite stupid fucking bastard was in the movie and we got a springlock failure scene like was the movie the greatest no but I got exactly what I wanted so goddamn it I'm gonna be happy about it

#genuinely that portion w/William at the end was the best part of the movie hands down #like there were some things that I wish could be different and Vanessa being all cryptic to Mike was kinda frustrating #but honestly its about what I expect out of scott bc to be honest he is not a good writer #i very desperately need the next two movies like I need air #they better do mangle right in the second one and if I hear even one gender joke I'm burning the entire theater down #bc unless its a trans person making a gender joke they are not funny #and I just know it isn't going to be a queer person writing that line so it will not be funny #I do hope we get to see mark in the second one and I mean it fits since out of the first three games the second is his favorite #also the matpat scene was literally so fucking funny #also I dont watch Cory x Kenshin but he was good for his cameo in the movie #I do also wish that there was a portion that was a bit more like the traditional game #I was a little disappointed at how little we actually saw the animatronics much less them being an actual threat #like mike was able to take them down with the tazer pretty easily #which like yeah they weren't The Big Bad but like y'know #also somebody LIED bc someone said that there was a character that hadn't been revealed yet in the movie #and like everyone we saw was accounted for #so a lot of people (myself included) #thought it was going to be the marionette #SAD! #not the end of the world though #someone else also said the characters were going to talk which they also lied about but im actually glad they didn't talk #I do like how mike and abby seemed like actual siblings though with their dialogue #overall id give the movie 3.5 out of 5 stars #about what I expected #some things could have been better but I got the main thing I wanted #I mean the springlock scene I wish was a little more dramatic but I mean there's only so much you can do in a pg 13 movie #so I'm not too disappointed #overall pretty satisfied and awaiting the second one #wonder when it'll come out since like I don't think it'll be as fast as the time between like scream 5 and 6 #cuz 6 came out really quickly after 5 I feel

i know it wasnt the directors intention or whatever not just a disney censorship thing but i think if luca actually did end with even like a kiss on the cheek or something at that train scene it would have been my favorite pixar movie of all time. like its ALL THERE even if by complete accident this is a movie that speaks DIRECTLY to the experience of being a little gay boy rebelling and finding someone and experiencing something even close to "love" even if its not a proper relationship for the first time and i NEED that movie man i NEED IT

#at the very least im glad they didnt have luca get with the girl or anything but like even still christ

i wish i wasnt so squeamish so i could actually enjoy watching horror movies 🤸

#im very squeamish though and my stomach is super easily upset #if i listen to music too loudly w headphones in i’ll throw up 😭 so horror movies are a no go #but that sucks bc i LOVE hearing about them!! i love watching detailed reviews and summaries and theories abt them!! #but then i catch a visual from a horror movie and i’m nauseous for hours ;-; #i can watch ari aster’s films which is good but imo his movies aren’t that scary aha. my goal is being able 2 watch martyrs one day #i listened to a review of martyrs once without watching the visuals bc i didn’t wanna see anything graphic #and just the graphic sounds from the movie caused me to FAINT AT MY DESK 😭😭😭 #so yeah it will be a hike from here to when i can actually watch that movie without hurting myself ha
