#those moments were perfect

[svtskneecaps]

i'm still stuck on the purgatories so here's a list of purgatory 2 moments simply off the top of my head that deserve to be remembered:

aimsey ducking all of axolotl team alone in a cave with literally half a heart

goose gang fucking descending on the raccoon base and absolutely wrecking shop

ethan crankgameplays clutching up for team panda during the capture the flag game by being the only one hanging out in the center and periodically checking the chests, earning them a shitton of flags and clutching multiple rounds

crow team's egg taking 0 damage

pac doxxing goose gang's egg in the last second

shelby shubble as the last member of her team online writing a letter to aimsey and sharing the world's most devastating ten minutes before her team was eliminated with one of the eye creatures (coco? i forgot lol)

badboyhalo absolutely fucking DEMOLISHING the battleship event on like 2 hours of sleep and a dream

wuant(?) stealing a tv from the battleship event and then playing portuguese ice age on it for the crows lmfao

tubbo djing for his team while waiting for the time for a goose gambit

theguill CRASHING THROUGH THE FUCKING CEILING of the raccoon team's hidey hole like the fucking kool aid man in a last effort to save his team and 4v1 or 5v1 ing team raccoon; he lost but that was such an epic fucking moment

theguill and etoiles pvping and each hyping the other's skills the entire time

seapeekay escaping cellbit and baghera and then stealing their boats and rocketing past to tease them about it; that shit was iconic

kenny going mad with power collecting sand on literally day 1

the english speaking squirrels taking actual physical notes on portuguese phrases (i think)

lgbtiba

i may add more this is an off the top of my head list but like got DAMN i like these events :D i like them a lot

#qsmp #qsmp purgatory 2 #qpurgatory 2 #there hope those filter for u fuckers #(/affectionate) #shut up vic #block game brainrot #if you can't tell my povs went something like this: #crab -> raccoon -> panda -> capybara -> goose -> crow #so i didn't watch all of them lmfao #i only spent a few hours with raccoon and crab; panda i caught all of #capybara and goose i mostly watched on their elimination day #crow i hopped into on the final day as well tho i'd been keeping some tabs on them previously #just not concentrated watching #i like purgatories :D #to be clear though i hope they don't run purg 3 until like november 2024 at the absolute EARLIEST #the staff is NOT at the point they can handle it yet lol not for a while #the fact that one of the ex devs said they were already talking about purg 3 was crazy #like i'm patient i'm not nuts let's cook this one #this is neglecting to mention the post-server close calls which are my favorite part of the event no contest #oh yeah and i also have issues w how some of the special events work #those need some tweaking it's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination #but i enjoy it :) it has good moments

Thought of the day: If either Future or Present Leo had lost a lot of blood and was in dire need of a blood transfusion, the other Leo would be the perfect donator for that since they have the same blood and all

IDK I just dont think I have ever seen this in any fics or anything?? But it has potential so im throwing the thought to the world

#NO THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NEXT UPDATE #<- before everyone starts SCREAMING AT ME #but actually #if I were to redo/touch up the scenes where future leo first showed up in 2al #PERFECT OPPRITUNITY #theres a lot of things I wish I could add onto or redo about future leos first moments in the present #and a blood transfusion to little leo may so be one of those things I want to add #but ough its so many characters and things to draw.... #something probably better in fic form where its wayyy easier to jumble around with all the characters and actions #rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #future leonardo #rise leo #totally not saying this because im at the doctor

#i am kind of confused #while they were training it looked like they had a special connection between eachother but after it they are just awkward around eachother #its like Phaya is keeping special attention to Tharn but only in training outside of training its Tharn who pays attention to Phaya #i dont know what to make of this i might me wrong as well #sargent didnt remove Phaya's hand from Tharn's shoulders because that was Phaya keeping Tharn warm and that was teamwork he talked about #but also a cute bl moment for us #Phaya motivating Tharn by hitting him with his cap #they always have eyes on eachother #that Jack and Rose scene was so impactful to me #the chemistry was incredible #the tension could have been cut with the knife #the eye contact shared here was so meaningful #the camerawork was amazing as well and those waves... just perfect the mood was set perfectly great cinema #i also love Tharn's relived and despeate expression he had on #he might be a rookie but he is on great path already #the sign #the sign the series #phaya x tharn #tharn x phaya #billy patchanon #billybabe #babe tanatat

my thoughts on silver spoon & candle in iii18

#juice.txt #osc #silvercandle neg #ii neg #literally the most classic misogyny ever #motherly perfect wifey woman gets punished the moment she isn't kind and loving and sweet to a man #and i don't wanna hear “she isn't being PUNISHED! it's just the plot; silver didn't mean to hurt her!” #cause he still did #and im well aware that they did not write this with the intention of “mwahaha we're so evil we are going to punish this woman” #they were ignorant to the implications of letting a man hurt a woman to possibly the point of DEATH the moment she stopped coddling him #and those implications are important to observe and address #anyway i fucking hate silvercandle with all of my heart #absolute garbage ship and i will never change my mind on that

Once again Gen Loss has changed genres!! Tonight's variation was:

Every Jigsaw movie if it was a comedy with one person that didn't get it

Sunday's genre prediction: Liminal Horror institution (mall) break out

#the gang showed up in SPADES tonight too omg the cast was serving #and my personal prediction I made to myself when I saw Ethan tweet about flying that he would be there and I was RIGHT #generation loss #gen loss #ranboo #i'm so excited for sunday y'all #and the very clear commentary and criticism of horror slasher movies and the stupidity if the characters was perfect #and charlie was fantastic with his goo guts #and Sneeg getting fucking reset and knowing and having those moments of knowing what was going on were AMAZING #the acting was just so good tonight y'all

with respect to myself, this whole “i need to wait till i’m out of school to date,” “i need to wait till i’m more historically, politically, and culturally educated to date” is all bullshit. it’s the top surgery. that’s the holdup. they chop these tits off and i’m ready to go.

#for the record - i still think that those first two things are the WISEST course of action #but i’m just saying that i don’t think anyone could hold me back if the opportunity arises #because the top surgery thing is my real hangup #because that would be a LOT to go through with someone in a new relationship and i would rather Not #so it’s better to wait #and i have a feeling that MY confidence will increase a ton in the aftermath as well #i’ll FINALLY be able to dress how i want holy SHIT #no more needless layering and strategically shapeless flannels #thank GOD #and in the meantime i’ll just keep trying to learn as much as i can on the way there! #so that i’m as prepared as possible whenever the moment comes along #i’m really working on not being mean to myself about not knowing things #nobody comes into the world with this knowledge #and i was not given the resources growing up that encouraged me to learn these things #just because some people had parents or friends who introduced them to things when they were younger or grew up in cultural centers #doesn’t make them cooler or better than me #i am educating myself now and that is what is important #i enjoy learning and that is what is important #i WILL become my ideal self one day - i am getting better #i am not perfect - i am still fucking up a ton and insecure and stretching myself to the absolute limit #which is why it is probably NOT a good idea to date right now!!!!!! #but who knows… i’ll just go where the road takes me #and see how that works out

The thing that happened to Steven Universe is happening to Bluey and I hate that I’m living to see it

#it’s a good show!!!!!!!!! #it’s not Perfect but it’s a good fuckjng show!!!! #it’s a genuinely good unique positive fun uplifting show #parents that watch bluey and start screaming abt how it makes them feel inadequate lazy shamed and stupid shut the fuck up #those are you problems #bluey #SU #‘it makes me feel bad for not playing with my kids 24/7’ #bandit and chili literally don’t do that #yeah sometimes they push themselves to play even when they don’t feel like it or have time buts it’s not abt making parents Feel Bad #it’s abt being like Maybe I do have time to play with this small creature I made just bc I love them and I love spending time with them #even if it’s just five minutes and even if I’m not really up to it #like yeh absolutely as a parent you need and deserve space from your goblin children dominating every moment of your life #but bluey goes out of its way to give bandit and chili those moments as well #it shows them struggling and being human about it #they have two charming (overwhelming) children and they’re out of shape and working jobs and missing being their own people #but they also LOVE THEIR KIDS #that’s not a bad thing to show kids #that’s not a bad thing to show parents either #it’s ok to miss who you were #I saw another article abt parents wanting to censor bluey for ‘body shaming’ and it made me evil for ten minutes

This is probably a ‘you had to be there’ sort of thing, but i FREQUENTLY think about this one cultural trainwreck moment that happened at the show NJPW did at Hammerstein Ballroom a few years ago.

The show started over two hours late. From where I was, it seemed like most of the crowd didn’t even notice until the first hour had elapsed, because it’s fuckin’ New York City, where tbh your show is kind of a dork if it starts on time. To my memory, the crowd was pretty chill—the delay was clearly out of New Japan’s hands and they were doing everything they could to fix it, and in the meantime it seemed like most people were chatting about wrestling while getting plastered off $18 beer in plastic cups. 

However, as you may imagine, the long delay made the Japanese execs running the show extremely anxious and deeply embarrassed (and perhaps a little worried for their safety, given the history of wrestling crowds at Hammerstein). When they finally announced the show would for real this time start in 15 minutes, they sent out an executive of some variety to apologize. He got into the ring, announced the apology, and then did that all the way down face-to-the-ground bow of deep sincere apology. A full one takes like 10 seconds, and he then proceeded to do it three more times, facing the other 3 sides of the ring.

The crowd reaction was VISCERAL. Time began moving in slow motion as Japanese religious reverence for corporate reputation crashed violently against deeply-ingrained American sensibilities about public shame and being made to take the fall for one’s employer. The audience tried briefly to clap politely through our discomfort, as we figured was likely proper, but after the second bow began, the crowd fell into chaos—no one wanted to boo, but seemingly everyone wanted to convey OH MY GOD STOPPP PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS. People were shouting ‘no! no!’, drunk dudes in the front row were wildly waving their arms for him to get up, and lots of people were instinctively looking away to avoid being forced to witness public debasement.

The thing that is so inexplicably funny to me is the juxtaposition of a Japanese corporate scapegoat performing a gesture of most profound and humble apology with a few thousand horrified drunk American pro wrestling fans desperately chanting “IT’S OKAY! IT’S OKAY!” at him.

#njpw #you probably did have to be there but this is a perfect crystalline moment in my mind #hayley and tsora and tsora's mom WERE there iirc #and i know others were too #i am pretty sure he also had his shoes off (you're not supposed to wear street shoes into a wrestling ring but execs usually do) #but someone will have to confirm that for me #MOSTLY american sorry tsora #it was one of those horrible social moments that seemingly takes SO LONG that you have time to go through all the stages of grief #hard to say what it's like now as i haven't been to a show of ANY kind since before the pandemic #but this was at a time when NJPW was first expanding into the US #meaning if you went to a show it was likely everyone around you was also a huge dork about japanese pro wrestling #i imagine that is what made the crowd a lot less rowdy than one might expect for the venue #we were all chatting with the people near us about japanese wrestling bc we never get to talk about japanese wrestling in real life #anyway

#me? about to use tumblr as a diary again? in 2024? unfortunately:/ #but here have a waterfall i saw on a hike last week as payment #i am sO tired and exhausted emotionally after dating #there's this guy that i fr thought was going to last and be around for a long time. we spent like every moment together that we could for 2 #months straight and if we werent physicaly together we were texting or calling or on ft . just every part of our day had the other in it #not once did i ever feel unwanted undesired or uncared for. not once did i feel that i wasnt sure of his intentions. i felt safer with him #in those 2 months than i ever did with any one else i could think to compare to. #until one day he just didnt think it important to communicate any more. after 3 days of nearly nothing .. hardly any talking . i asked if #he was ok if we were ok. what was going on in his head. he said some ive just been with my buddies and family and havent been on my phone #and just. immediately thats heartbreak yanno. thats :// thats what they say when theres a new girl. but there'd never been a reason to think #there was another girl so i was like ok we're gonna trust bc this dude has been So good in every way. so i said imy but i understand. enjoy #your time with your buddies and with your fam -- i cant wait to hear about it (and hold you) #and i havent heard from him in the 3 weeks since. just randomly #so last night #i send the dreaded 'i miss you' text. #i dont expect to hear back and i accept the hurt that will come with that and the confusion that i've felt settles deeper into my heart #until this afternoon i hop on ig and see a hard launch that was posted an hour after my text was sent #that shit kinda hurt different. but also sent me into a bit of a delirious state where all i could do is laugh bc are you for fucking real #did she see my message? i know it. bc i know him and i know that he wouldnt hide anything from the person he's giving his heart #and his softness to. i can almost imagine how he showed her and promised her theres nothing to worry about #and there really isnt anything to worry about because he genuinely is the type to give his all to the relationship he's in #which feels silly to say after what happened w us. like no there wasnt a title ever #it sucks to call it a situationship because a month ago we were laughing in bed together about how we could never bc we were all in. #just the timing of the hard launch makes me giggle. did my text push them to have a conversation about what they are. was she really the #reason that he went away on me. #im trying not to blame myself . trying not to think about the phone calls i didnt answer. about what i could have done differently. trying #not to think about where we would be if i didnt let my anxieties hold me back. if i wasnt scared about what he'd think of the parts of me #that i keep hidden just a little bit longer than the rest. #and at the same time im trying not to put him on a pedestal. but that pedestal is just where i wholeheartedly believe he belongs #he set the bar for me. he set the standard. i was never too much. i was never too little. he made me feel perfect just as i am

i ended up having a like. 30 minute conversation with some of those "freedom convoy" people. was at the bus stop. they were wearing trump hats. i ended up roped into the conversation because i was so taken aback at seeing one in public i was just. staring at it. ive never felt more depressed about someone elses life and beliefs than when i talked to them.

#they fucking. tokd me about the litterboxes in schools for kids identifying as cats and i had to #break it to them that that wasnt true and explained that. also explained. what its like yo be autistic. how i find it joyful #and also discussed how they believe trump has been spoken to by god and chosen to lead and how they arent christians or catholics like they #used to be but instead talk directly to him and have him inside them #and also apparently how 15 minute cities in china are used to keep people imprisoned where they are #and we arent a democracy anymore. which was so funny considering. they are participating for a party #running in the election #i gave them my perspective on being transgender and gay and watched them have like. 3 or 4 ''are we the baddies'' moments #explained what puberty blockers actually do. that surgery is paid out of peoples own pockets. that we literally only have #one doctor who can perform these surgeries and hes abt to retire #and at the end of the convo they were like ''youre so pleasant. youre really smart young lady'' and i was like ''ty? i just. read a lot' #god i hope they learned. something. or i changed some opinion. they seemed to have a more positive view of autistic people at least #i just like. fuck dude. these fuckin right wing grifters are ruining these peoples lives. #the lady has been unemployeed since covid cos she got sucked into this antivax stuff and now theyre both financially unstable #perfect targets for tamaki and the freedoms people who were known for squeezing money out of people through bogus religious stuff #those two have been twisted into just. hateful and scared and are saying the most. insane shit and they dont even realize it. #and the worst part of it was the amount of young people there. so many people my age just deluded into this nonsense. #and kids JESUS CHRIST so many kids holding signs about ''protecting the kiwi way of life'' like bro every single thing #you are getting upset about an imported culture war. you arent threatened by this shit. #youve latched onto american culture war stuff because youre insecure in your whiteness and existence in a colonial country #its so fucking evil.

Recently looked through some of the oldest art I made as a child and it was all SOO GOOD like it was just wow it was amazing. Art rules didn't exist I just was

#ugh thats what all those famous painters said but like they were so right so true. #but also looking back at my old art in general its all like so good #like all of it. and the art i make now. im not really talking about or concerned with the actual quality or skill of the pieces they are #just all so fucking good like every aspect of it. the emotionality of it and the thoughts i had behind them all like wow.. #im not trying to be insanely narcissistic but its just like the inherent quality to all art and how i can see myself through it ... #its more intense with my own art than others through how I know my thought processes and feelings behind it but like woow all art is so goo #like all of it. literally most basic feeling of all time i know but its true. #like the sky is always there but there are only some moments when you're in full awe of it ok #but its like woow how could i in the past ever be unsatisfied with any of my art...how could i be unsatisfied with it now when its already #perfect and always has been. #ugh 1 million 'shitty' (all art is beautiful wonders of the world) drawings must be made. #the monstrous green with envy demon inside of me overtakes me 99% of the time u see but i am like at peace right now #words #mine

#stuff #without saying too much. i am really having a moment rn. #sometimes. i just #okay so like. the round peg fits in the square hole ykwim? so i was like. makes perfect sense #and those corners where nothing fits WELL nothing to worry about that is just Quirks and Idiosyncrasies! #and naturally it never. NEVER ONCE!!!! NEVER O N C E !!!!!!!! OCCURRED TO ME!!!! THAT PERHAPS!!! A SQUARE PEG EXISTED!!!!!! #TO FILL IN THOSE MOTHERFUCKING CORNERS!!!!!!!!!! #i want to bash my head into a staircase #perspective is literally just an ongoing realization that you were so fucking stupid every second until right now #duhhhhhh square peg exists. it exists specifically to go in the square hole. put the god damn pieces together you motherfucking idiot. #throw the round peg AWAY YOU DONT NEED IT!!!! #it's like it's like #okay it's like this #in neurochemistry. like in neurotransmitters and drugs and shit there's two ways a drug can act on the brain #there's agonists and antagonists #oh and inverse antagonists #an agonist binds to the neuron's neurotransmitter receptors and mimics the effect of an endogenous NT #antagonist binds to the receptors but doesn't do anything except take up space aka prevent real NTs from binding #however INVERSE antagonists. they will bind to the neuron and have. the OPPOSITE effect as the desired NT #you get an inverse antagonist to bind to your neurons and it's like yessss you feel this way you experience this thing #but now. like. get that inverse antagonist outta here. now the actual NTs flood in. and they are like #theyre like hey man you dont feel that way or experience that thing at all actually. idk why you thought you did but You Don't #anyway thats where im at #havin a normal one as you can clearly see #edit edit edit they are inverse AGONISTS i just cant read and cant edit the tags because mobile #inverse AGONISTS not antagonists #this matters to zero people

[fairyfried]

also i just KNOW at least some of the writers (that arent the duffer bros) were pissed watching their bosses make the most heinously written conclusion to what was a, frankly, well crafted/engaging setup

#like it SHOWS that those were the first two episodes the duffer bros wrote solo #even the tone of some of the characters were off #so much of the dialogue felt out of character for quite a few people #ntm the dialogue wasn’t great to start with #specifically in the emotional moments #but anyway im very far from a perfect writer so ig this is a one sided opinion #but even non writers could point out why it was bad writing #st4 spoilers #stranger things #stranger things spoilers

[gifti3]

Hmm dont get mad but

Not really into this whole everyone spilling their guts to me under the mistletoe thing

#and then u can kiss them if u want #it just feels shallow #u gotta have these moments be natural #theres actually this one scene back during the 1st asmo centric event #im telling yall right now that was the perfect moment for things to get a little “spicy” if the player wants it too #we were literally alone in a storage area #come on now... #anyways what was i trying to say... #u gotta make it feel more natural #those moments where we are sitting with one other character doing whatever #those are the times to add a little romance #we dont even have to be alone really #like asmo asking to hold mcs hand in chapter 1 of the event #shit like that is better imo #it feels less forced #obey me nightbringer

There's a lot of things wrong with the twewy anime, but if there's one thing they got perfectly, it's definitely Eri.

#i can't even begin to explain how good those three scenes were #only three scenes!! and they did so much #the first one being on day 6 with Shiki of course bc seeing them both cry was just. MY HEART??? HELLO????? #absolutely gorgeous #and then the day with the flowers?? perfect display of how grief and death affects people in the RG #sure we talked about how they were dead. but now we see her taking flowers to put them on Shiki's tombstone #while saying that she visits daily! I'M EMOTIONAL OKAY?? #and that fuels even more Neku's guilt over Shiki being his entry fee #and THEN! the third scene that people probably forgot about! the day on week 3 where there's a sale of red skull pins #except there's no red skull pins available anymore so people are furious and creating noise #and Neku and Beat immediately while being researched by the whole UG put everything on hold to go and help them #because that's Shiki's friend and they have to help. for Shiki. #it's normal behaviour for Beat. but for Neku? THAT is one of the multiple moments where you can see his character development #how he goes to help strangers because he can and because he wants to #I KNOW I RAMBLED A LOT BUT. THESE SCENES MEAN THE WORLD TO ME OKAY #twewy #léa rambles #twewy spoilers #twewy eri

[ashiningmoment]

to everyone who said the righteous gemstones had the same vibes as succession you were SO RIGHT and what a ride

#my main problem with the show is that i inevitably compare it to succession #so i keep expecting the moment eli is shown as this terrible abusive father #and he's not #he's not perfect but he's kinda cool #(i'm on season 2 now) #but his kids are THE WORST (in the good and in the bad sense) #like if this is what logas was seeing all that time i get it #i wouldn't want my kids to inherit my hard work if those were my kids #succession #the righteous gemstones
