#that's a reason i can actually buy

[tranakin-skywalker]

I'm pretty sure I've admitted it on here before, but I actually do really love The Last Jedi. I think it's a really good movie! Well made, well acted, beautifully shot, the characters and their development is compelling. I enjoy it!

I do not, however, think it's a very good Star Wars movie.

#like. i absolutely get why so many people hate it #i think a lot of it comes from just how much it doesn't really feel like a star wars movie #the stuff about the force. oh that's 100% star wars and was so refreshing to see #but the bait and switch with audience expectation? yeah. i understand why a lot of people felt betrayed #i will die on the hill that Luke's characterization is compelling and really really fun to expore #do i think it was the best choice? no. not really #but it is FASCINATING. and probably the best explination you can give for why he up and abandoned Leia #something set up in TFA #i dont think i would have been satisfied with any other answer given #'oh. Luke ditched his sister when she desperately needed him and fucked off to some nowhere planet to find some plot breaking mcguffin' #yeah no thanks #i like that luke disappeared into exile due to some precieved failure on his part. very obi wan of him #that's a reason i can actually buy #plus like. exploring a character crushed under the weight of their own legacy #thats cool. thats FUN #i saw a really good meta about Luke's tlj arc that i need to find again

thinking about when guts sent a bunch of his men directly into zodd's meat grinder without even knowing demons like him existed. and that moment after the fight where casca runs to griffith unconscious on the floor and tells guts it's all his fault. and the time gambino tells him he's bad luck and should have died instead. and about how he tells griffith he cares about his men, and how casca doesn't seem to see it. and the time guts is thinking about casca telling him it's all his fault (after he got griffith hurt) and then griffith comes to him and says (like it's nothing) do i need to give a reason every time i come to save you? or whatever. like he's worth it. like he's worth dying for, and like it can be a choice people make because they value you. like he's a good luck charm, like griffith needs him to reach his goals, his full potential. like griffith is not enough to make it without him. like griffith finds out when guts leaves. fuckin.g gnawing someone else's legs off because i still need mine to run into traffic

#so guess who's rewatching berserk 1997 lol #berserk #i hate griffith i hate him i hate him he's bad i hate him (<- deeply tragically attached to him. im so not normal about him it's fucked) #aghhh can't wait until break so i can read more. i've ended up just consuming the golden age arc over and over for various reasons #and it's so good it fucking rules i just need to keep reading past that too bc that's Also good #and i have! i just have more to read oh hey it's midnight my paper's due haha #(it's fine it doesn't matter genuinely i will be fine) #anyway my older sibling's been buying those bigass tomes they sell and he got a bunch more a while back so like. more to read more to read #also side note but they smell so fucking good it's actually unfair #but anyway i keep on being like nooo i gotta go start over so i can get the momentum and then i get brainstuck/distracted and don't actuall #get very far past the lost children subarc (which i've read i think 1.5 times now) #ANYWYA. berserk good. no i don't ever make content for it but every like 4 months or so it infects me quietly

Sanoma Media nominated the Käärijä DNA ad campaign as the campaign of the month. Käärijä is fucking winning at advertisements.

#he wins everything. as he should #to be fair. their reasoning for this is pretty solid. this is funny. it's heartfelt. #it actually advertizes the company and it's services in a faithful yet innovative way #and of course the käärijäpaperi craze. it's not even available everywhere anymore because they have started running out of it in some store #käärijä #also I just love marketing and the stuff that goes into it #y'all are so quick to dismiss any ad as a pointless waste of money #but looking at the people who were coming up with any product to buy from one of these stores to get the goddamn paper #it's not exactly a waste of money or pointless if it actually increases brand recignition and sales and notability #this is how and why ads work #so yeah sanoma media is based for recognizing it as the success it is #and käärijä deserves every damn win he can get

Bad: “I am slowly torturing myself, to motivate myself to get my son back.” that whole entire admission was bonkers but what the hell was THIS about? Torturing himself as motivation? Also- recognizing the soul vulture fuckery as torture. fucking break my heart eight times over with that barrel full of soul hearts from dapper. he looked in that barrel and he was PROUD and now he’s talking about torturing himself. so. either he recognizes that dapper was torturing himself too (and recognized from the beginning+was proud or has realized through the course of his grieving how fucked up that was). it may be the second one? if he’s using guilt exasperated by the torture as a motivator to find dapper again.

but at the same time- he’s so aware that its torture. bad has so much trouble addressing things head on, sometimes purposefully (liberating furniture) and sometimes thru denial (hello birthday party), but he acknowledges it as torture so easily that i think its one of those things he’s known for a while, and not recently come to realize. he’s ALSO using it to punish himself for what he has to do to his friends and family- and he said this part separately, so its hard to reasonably assume his “motivation to find dapper via torture” is tied into some sort of penance.

(altho i DO think he’s ALSO using the vultures to torture himself out of guilt for losing the eggs. he brought that vulture out with him on a walk when he talked to the missing eggs from the church roof, and let it eat away at him the way he lets his guilt over the eggs eat away at him. I just also think the motivation thing is separate, due to his phrasing)

“I am slowly torturing myself, to motivate myself to get my son back.” It feels like there’s another little nugget of truth hiding back there. Is he using the pain to ground himself? using it to avoid a depressive spiral? Bbh is self sacrificial as HELL and doesnt blink when popping 20 totems in a dungeon for the sake of friends/eggs- i think he has a different relationship with pain than is. uh. Healthy. We could see that when he was unphased by the vulture’s attacks on the church roof. It’s not like he’s whipping himself to drive the carriage forwards. he doesnt care enough to avoid pain to use pain avoidance as a motivator. so what else about the torture is driving him forwards?

maybe he doesnt know that it doesnt work on him? or- he’s using “motivation” as an excuse to hurt himself even more. he already showed some dissonance during that convo with tina. Punishing himself for hurting his friends, AND placing mines down to punish them (unrelated to finding the eggs and potentially making his mission more difficult. placing mines is an emotional reaction that he feels justified in. (“It’s just an annoyance”) he’s hurting his friends while hurting HIMSELF for hurting his friends, but the mines are not the reason for his own punishment). It could be that he’s using the “motivation” as justification for stronger-than-he’d-normally-reason harm to himself, just like he’s justified “revenge” against the other players with the mines

#brought to you by: bbh says another weird thing that sticks in my teeth #normally im able to reason my way through it but for this one im still puzzled #qsmp #qsmp badboyhalo #he phrases shit SO intentionally ehy did he separate the motivation and the punishment if the motivation via torture is not important #hm actually gonna add more to the post #that last paragraph is what i added on #but also. hm. #thats the closest i can reason but im still not 100% it was such a weird line #gah i wanna buy the cc a drink and sit with him to talk about characters So Badly he’s so so good at crafting good stories #self harm

COME ON GIRL #we have such a fun plan for tomorrow though bc the consensus has just been 'we need to get fucking mangled after this exam' #like i havent been out-out in WEEKS the closest i came was the end of december for a hometown house party of all things #i didnt even go out for nye. let's all take a moment and consider the implications for someone like me NOT GOING OUT ON NYE #so i am OVERDUE a good night out and then on top of that ive had exams be SO fr #and also this is the first year where my main friendship group (i.e not my housemates but my actual social circle) #are ALL econ students like there's about five of us and we all do econ and yeah two of them ive been mates with since first year #(the girl is my best mate at uni and is always who im on about if i talk about a 'girl on my course' and the lad is the one i lived with #in first year and have kind of got a thing with now?)

minedai is so important to me esp when it involves daigo staring at mine with big ass heart eyes and cupids flying above his head and grinning and smiling and fluttering his pretty lashes at him but mines still like Does He Like Me ............. all the while mentally doing the exact same thing towards him

#snap chats #i cant even call this stupid4stupid mine's just stubborn and daigo doesn't want to overstep..... so maybe stupid4stupid actually... #mines forever funny to me #he'll fall for literally anyone who shows him a modicum of decency yet he'll think they dont like him the same #usually cause he right people do be usin him for ulterior motives OOP BUT STIIIILLLL #daigo loves him so much ..... mine you dummy dumb dumb .... #the bit in rggo where daigo asks mine if he's single lives forever in my brain it's like my brain's wallpaper #like daigo ......... my son are you flirting rn ............ i know you got that charisma stat MAXED .......... #the concept of daigo flirting is so funny to me because on the lowest of keys i think he can be SOMEWHAT smooth #not SUPER slip-and-slide smooth but he naturally has that aura to him that makes anything he say sound reasonable and attractive #his voice certainly helps him with that donnit BYE #this turning into a daigo love post but its been like A Year since my last one so let me cook #I HAVE TO BUY THE DAIGO DONDOKO DLC WAIT FUCK BRB

Moving Day ~

Today is what I've come to refer to as Moving Day. My time is up where I've been staying, so I had to pack up my car with all my valuables, clothes, food, and health supplies, then spend several hours in my car, until I can check in somewhere else and unpack everything. It's physically exhausting, and by the time I'm done (around 4pm) I'm gonna end up sleeping on & off until getting up for work on Monday. I really dread Moving Day, but it's my reality for now--and I'm very aware there are many people who don't even have shelter at all.

Normally, Moving Day falls on a Sunday, like today...but it's gonna fall on Wednesday (a workday) again this week, as I only have funds to stay until then (paying my motor vehicle tax has left me broke). After that, I'll be spending the night at work or in my car. So I'm posting this now in the hope of enough help to get me a few more nights before I have to do it all again. I'm left to rely on the kindness of both friends and strangers. Thank you in advance to anyone able to give a little bit of help and for signal boosting this plea!

self care has been so twisted into serving capitalism and the patriarchy it makes me sick actually

#like the reason everyone started talking about self care was because people were getting burnt out by their jobs and lives in general #and like. specifically women who are usually expected to be selfless in their lives #self care was a way to reframe ‘being selfish’ i.e. taking time for yourself to relax #which was NEEDED BECAUSE CAPITALISM HAS INGRAINED INTO PEOPLE THAT THEY SHOULD FEEL GUILTY IF THEY ARENT CONSTANTLY PRODUCING LABOUR #and now ads are like. buy this leg waxing kit for SELF CARE you DESERVE it. buy this $90 foundation to hide your disgusting skin for SELF CA #RE #did you know it’s SELF CARE to meditate. but only about how you can be more productive and efficient #i see that one a lot on productivity reddit which i joined several years ago trying to manage my undiagnosed adhd and now i stay because i #find the expectations people have for themselves to be Wild #anyway if someone is telling you you need to buy something or spend money to exercise self care they do not care about your wellbeing they #care about getting your money #also if you’re a girl/woman and someone is trying to tell you that something is self care consider if they would suggest the same thing to #boys/men. like if they’re trying to tell you that cosmetics or hair removal or plastic surgery is self care they are lying to you #self care should be free and accessible and gender neutral and if it isn’t then think about who is actually benefiting

If Jon had sent Sansa to Dragonstone, she would have negotiated for the dragonglass and GTFO.

Or she would make such an impact on Dany through her LEGIT POLITICICKING TALENT that Dany would come help them anyway.

Or Tyrion would convince Dany to aid them in absentia thanks to the impact Sansa made on HIM.

Or she would have shot down the stupid wight mission retrieval and then GTFO w the glass. No dragon for the Night King. The wall makes up for the North's lack of numbers.

Or the stupid wight mission retrieval happens but Sansa hasn't bent the knee and she would be SO FINE with keeping the North out of the Queen's War. Cersei sends her people, Dany sends her people.

Or Cersei still sends no one. Dany still turns up. But The King in the North hasn't bowed and goes down to destroy Cersei as allies not subjects (her army and dragons are decimated, she has less bargaining power. Now she needs them.

Or, ok fine. Post NK Jon bends the knee anyway for plot reasons, but at least he can do it in communication with Sansa and the northern lords, on home turf ("I became King to fight the NK, now he's dead, blah blah Sansa should be warden of the North, blah blah I'll go live in a hole somewhere") ((Someone saves Jon from himself post-canon).

Sansa would give the least and bide her time. Jon is rash, generous and way too honest.

#thank you for coming to my TedTalk #I'm very late to this party but I have opinions #obviously jonsa is the outcome of every one of these scenarios #I'm not really on board with political jon #as in actually politicaly savvy jon #unless it's just a euphemism for 'faking the Jon/Dany ship for political reasons #ie whoring himself out for the North #which I also don't buy #but I can never tell exactly how people mean it when they tag #sansa stark #jon snow #daenerys targaryen #jonsa

love the idea that for big gift events like limes birthday/christmas/valentines day, lime just has a MASS of gifts from all the girls at school who like him, and then while hes opening them up mochi is RIGHT THERE getting first dibs at the stuff he doesnt want

#sometimes mochi just starts opening shit and going (ooh so cute!!) and hes like (uhhh yeah thanks for asking first sure you can have that) #the occasional moment where someone hands something to him and hes so tired he just passes it straight to mochi without even looking at it #its usually like snacks or something since no one really knows him well enough to buy him something hed actually really like #the RAGE these girls feel when one of them buys him like. a sweatshirt or hat and the next day fucking mochi is wearing it #and when they get mad hes like (What? it was too small for me. plus its mine now so i can do what i want with it) #OR mochi: haha what a coincidence i just bought the same one from [store]!! seems this style is popular!! #and its not beyond reasonable doubt so they just sit there mad #when mochi runs out of snacks but instead of buying more she thinks (ah but limes birthday is soon so that means free snack restock...) #full disclosure he tells all of them REPEATEDLY not to buy him things and warns them what will probably happen #but no one listens as usual #oscar and coco eventually sitting there too like (can i have that--) and he goes (if mochi doesnt want it you guys can have it)
