#went really sour

[t4tduncney]

I do not like gwen, and trent is probably my second favourite character, HOWEVER I really hate it when people blame her for everything that happened between them in tda. I have ocd and have been medicated for it for many years now and i’m extremely familiar with “obsessions” and how they effect one’s relationships. even if you don’t see trent with ocd, he was never obsessed with gwen, he was “obsessed” in the ocd sense (there IS a difference so please look it up) with the concept of her leaving him, to the point where he did every compulsion his brain told him would stop her from doing so. BUT we can’t expect people without ocd or who aren’t aware of it to simply know this and understand it? he was acting creepy, he openly mentioned BRANDING HIMSELF WITH A G. INFRONT OF HER. now i realise most people look at this like “oh god is he ok?” and rightfully so, but no one ever talks about how fucked up it would be to witness someone say something like that in relation to you. ofc im not saying “GO AND BLAME TRENT!” i’m just saying stop blaming gwen, almost everything in total drama could of been handled better and this is no exception. just remember when shit like this comes up in a 2000s teens cartoon, let’s maybe jump to blame the writers when they handle mental illness weirdly and not the fictional 16 year old girl dealing with one of her first relationships with another boy who can barely deal with himself

#i don’t dislike gwen for anything she did i think she’s typically out of the wrong in most situations #i just simply dislike her character #along with this i never liked gwent #i utilise it a lot in aus and stuff because of the emotional baggage but other then that it’s not my cup of tea #i like canon timeline trent single #i really enjoyed how after tda it seemed like his view on love which used to be someone he was really big on #went really sour #like how he bet against lindsay remembering tyler’s name which was super. idk just really pessimistic in regards to their romantic #relationship #and how he seemed to hop from one girl to another during the drama brothers #i like jerk trent #not canon timeline tho i’m a huge trustin fan #td trent #td gwen

What do you think as Hermione's career would be post battle of Hogwarts? To me her being minister for magic really doesn't make sense. She does not have patience or tact to wade through murky waters of politics 😭😭

So hard to say! The Trio are so, so young when we leave them, I find it almost impossible to project their futures farther than a few years out. The job that suited me at 17 would be radically unsuited to me now. That's why of all the Trio, Ron's ending strikes me as the most realistic — he jumps straight into the save-the-world business again, burns out, realizes he's actually Done The Fuck Enough, Thanks, and pivots into a low-stress career where he gets to see his family a lot. Feels accurate! The others are weirder to me because they do seem to just... pick a lane and stay there.

With Hermione, you could spin her a couple ways. You could say that she leans into her bookish side and does research or teaching, which is not my preference for a couple reasons (namely, I don't think Hermione would like academia as a profession; she finds her classwork interesting and enjoys intellectual validation, but she'd be stifled and wasted in a DPhil program, and she'd be infuriated by the administrative politicking of your average higher-ed faculty). You could say that she gets disaffected with politics and ends up as a barrister or a lobbyist of some kind, but if anything that requires more political finesse, because you don't actually have institutional power, you're just handling the people who make decisions and trying to persuade them of your goals. This is not Hermione's preferred method of influence. She's not even particularly good at persuasion, she just happens to be smart enough (and right often enough) that people take her ideas seriously.

Or you could say her brashness fades with the years into a softened flavor of tell-you-like-it-is honesty, which some politicians actually do successfully trade on; as we see in British politics today, you don't have to be all that charming or clever to get ahead, you just need to be really driven and well-connected (which Hermione completely is; she fought shoulder-to-shoulder with the first postwar Minister and her bestie, the Literal Messiah, runs the Auror Office.) But I don't know if Hermione especially wants to be Minister, after the war. She's just watched years of horrendous bureaucratic incompetence plunge the country into a violent civil conflict. She's had not one, but two Ministers of Magic try to bully or shame her friends into complicity with fascism. Her view of government is... likely extremely dark.

But Hermione also isn't the kind of person who sees her life as a quest for happiness. Babygirl has a savior complex that makes Harry look selfish. (She basically kills her parents — yeah, obliviating is a form of murder, #changemymind — "for their own good," and justifies every batshit, vindictive, mean-spirited move she ever pulls on the grounds that it "helps" one of her friends.) She is a mean, lean, dragon-slaying machine, and she needs a dragon. After Voldemort, the Ministry is the no. 1 threat to muggle-borns and non-wizarding Beings. As a war heroine with basically infinite political capital, I'd be surprised if she didn't try to do something there. That said, Hermione is so vivacious and dynamic that she could potentially grow in a hundred different directions; it's possible that all of this, while true of her at 18, becomes completely inaccurate by 22. That's why I'm not too fussed about any particular fanon interpretation.

#greenteacup asks #sidebar: I know Minister “of” Magic is an Americanism but mea culpa #Someday I might actually bite it and pay someone to britpick Lionheart but I can't do it now #because I have a ban on editing published fic unless it's finished. Otherwise I'll never get around to writing the actual ending #I have a Process #is it the best process? likely not! but it makes the words go. so here we are. #I also think the fact that JKR is Gen X makes a difference here. careers worked differently in the 80s and 90s than they do now #i.e. we have the gig economy and a lot more mobility and EXPECTATION of mobility in your early life #that means career changes & professional pivots through your 20s and 30s are increasingly normal #and in fact have always been normal — but the image of the 'true' or 'ideal' career has changed #so we look at those careers and go hm. really? none of them changed? #none of them even went to uni? do wizards... just not? #but again. I believe the epilogue was written almost completely without consideration as to what happened between the BOH and then #I really believe that JKR did not know what happened to Harry except a wedding and 3 kids. because that was the whole point #I don't think she even knew what his career was when she wrote that scene #It existed to marry everyone off and do a quick munchkin headcount #because of the understandable temptation as an author to keep your hand on the wheel. but it didn't even matter! #the epilogue changed NOTHING! it was the most useless chapter in the series! I just — GOD #you can absolutely accuse me of being sour grapes about my ships getting nixed. I AM sour grapes. I AM a hater. #AND I have plot/theme/craft reasons for disliking it. #I'm not objective. I just want credit for being a sophisticated hater. my grapes may be sour but they're still artisinal.

you ever just. become overwhelmed by a sudden out-of-nowhere wave of tenderness and affection and longing for reconnection directed towards someone to whom you no longer speak for Very Good Reasons

#‘out of nowhere’ she says like she hasn’t been doing a lot of reading/thinking recently about various tragic messy breakups #and the later regrets of the parties involved #anyway. tell me not to text her #it’s been over two years since the last time we talked… absolutely no reason to break that streak now. lord give me strength #she was really fucking mean to me! like objectively intentionally unwarrantedly cruel! it ruined an entire year of my life #and fundamentally changed me as a person on a deep level! there’s a lot of things i used to like about myself that i don’t think i’m ever #going to get back #and yet every once in a while we have to do the whole ‘maybe i could make things right’ song and dance 😔 #the thing is most of the time i’m not even really angry with her anymore like enough time has passed since all the shit went down that #really i just sort of look at her behavior and feel sad. both because of the impact on me but also because of the ‘that’s really how you #felt you needed to act towards someone who cared about you? you couldn’t have just expressed your feelings in an honest and productive way #instead of just lashing out in the cruelest possible way and ruining the entire relationship beyond hope of repair?’ #and i feel bad and sorry that it went that way and honestly i kind of pity her and hope she’s gotten some of her shit worked out #so i’m not like. actively pissed off at her anymore. but also i can’t think about her without thinking about the worst year of my life so 🙃 #i don’t actually feel that trying to reopen that door would be very healthy for me at least #we did try a Reconciliation of sorts a couple of months after the initial falling-out and while it was kind of helpful for me in that she #like. apologized lmao. and affirmed that i wasn’t crazy and she did in fact On Purpose say the most hurtful things she possibly could have #said to me given the information she had at her disposal. and that i really had not done anything to her that could warrant that. etc. #it also left a sour enough taste in my mouth that i just don’t see a future where the two of us spending time together is enjoyable for me #and yet… the regret will always live inside me i think. maybe if i were a stronger person… #caseyposting

unfortunately i do not have a good setup for photographing myself (and also obviously have developed something of an allergy to it), so you guys are just going to have to take my word for it that the oversized cargos i ordered recently really are remarkably good?? they have a long enough rise i've been wearing them at my Actual Waist for once in my life, along with a hefty belt i bought on a gay little 'wandering around filson' outing with @elucubrare years ago [i use 'gay' advisedly here—the sales clerks very clearly thought we were in the world's most adorable little relaysh, which in fairness was an impression we pretty universally gave for decades, & possibly still do] and woolen long underwear-style tops, and the effect is like. very extremely Retro Military in a way i'm having queer trans fun with :D

#always torn abt tucking shirts in bc like. my hips are not enormously wide but they're a little wide on the cis dude scale #but on the other hand it does add a sense of maturity that helps convey yr masculinity isn't just sloppiness #(though 2 be clear that's also a perfectly valid approach and mode!) #but rather a thing yr doing deliberately‚ which is an energy i appreciate? #anyway i went for a miles-long Walk in the frigid gloaming very geared up with tea thermos and mitts and headlamp and whatnot #and now i'm back in the poäng with an interesting sour ale and a blissful toasty sandbag of a catte on my lap #much 2 be grateful for really!! #sartorial #journaling

HOLD ON YOU CAN'T JUST SAY THAT NANA 1... WHAT DO YOU MEAN

#i'm really upset rn that i can't figure out which way she's talking about the unrequited love going? #she's talking about nana 2 getting married to ren and trying to help her pick up the certificates #but does she mean 'maybe... yes this must be unrequited love' about her not loving nana 2 back??? #or does she think SHE loves nana 2 but nana 2 doesn't love HER back? #or is she actually just referring to ren and nana 2??? #in context i feel it makes more sense that she means she does believe nana 2 might love her now #but she doesn't feel the same which would be SO SAD #but unless nana 1 has changed quite a bit character-wise i feel it'd be almost more in-character for her to think she loved nana 2 #and it wasn't returned?? #but then at the same time she's gone through some shit and it never really got fully resolved between them when things went sour??? #so if their feelings for each other aren't matching up totally anymore i can kinda see that too? #and it's like i was thinking... that nana 1 had to grow up in certain ways and finds nana 2 too immature in certain ways now?? #arghhh this is why reading fan translations can be rough sometimes i feel they aren't always as clear #i will have to wait for the library to loan me this volume to check that version too.... #13readsmanga #nana spoilers #nana #p

xenoblade 1 is interesting because when I first played it I had really mixed feelings. mostly I think because it had been slightly overhyped for me. there were so many videos with masterpiece in the description and people saying it was their favorite.

there was a lot that first turned me off during the story (namely the way it handled its female characters made me frustrated at multiple points) and also how they handled the revenge arc because I have very very specific taste in revenge arcs and I just dont think it landed for me. 

I think I appreciate it a lot more now that im fully deep into the series. I do like a lot about it, from its gameplay to its environment to a lot of the little cast interactions, to just shulk existing. yeah. yeah its alright

#I remember when fiora died and dunban reyn and shulk were all talking about it I couldn't help but just be acutely aware they'd killed off #the only girl in the cast for their revenge quest and it put a sour taste in my mouth. at least we got sharla soon after who they ALSO did #dirty :(((( and they do bring fiora back but man. girl you've been through so much and have a GOD in your body but all you can think about #is how your bf will feel are you serious. its like they saw the backlash to shion and went ok women no more being realistically upset for #you gotta wait like another game or two :/// you get to never confront or be mad about the guy who stabbed you or the guy who wanted you #brainwashed and also forcibly altered your body irreversibly no your boyfriend gets tobe mad about it. be nice and optimistic darnit #and every lady in the party has their story tied to a romantic relationship in some waytoo. l'man. at least melia got her moment in fc #and its like. its odd bc I dont really DISLIKE any of the major 1 characters its on a scale from liking them to being upset on their behalf #like you have so many charming moments and interactions and I WANT to like you. but they just did you so dirty :(((( #idk ive wanted to get that out there for a while. I have very messy feelings on 1 which is kinda ironic bc a lot of people considered it the #less controversial one for a long time lol. and it is. but still. #siren says #xenoblade #xenoblade chronicles #im constantly on my hater arc btw but I only let it out occasionally bc I am constantly worried of backlash online. I keep my bitching to #friends mostly lmao and oh do they know all about it

[quintessential-candles]

My bed is soft and comfortable please

#it’s not but I really want it to be #my pants are soft and comfortable and so is the blanket that sits to the side and calls me a homo #so that helps #I also have bedside table raspberry lemonade #it’s strange because the sour went away #I’m very upset about this

[tenitchyfingers]

Alright so I finally did finish watching the thing and.. yeah, it’s kinda rushed in the last episode. The last episode could have really benefited from being split in 2 and from the story breathing a little bit more, but overall? Holy shit. Holy shit. What a great fucking job @ everyone involved.

#I can only imagine how much everyone busted their asses for this show #that is how I know it’s a special one #listen I love everyone #i love the characters and the performers and I love the result of all of everyone’s work #really what a gem #the finale leaves a sour taste in your mouth #but that’s how it SHOULD be #anything else would ruin the rest of the story #everything went as it should have and im 100% happy and satisfied with everything here #just... great amazing no notes other than the rushed finale #but really this is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen #it’s this and haunting of hill house and Bojack horseman #I love artists so much #Barry hbo

Getting glasses for the first time at almost 30 is wild y'all

#Can't read the subtitles form the couch #so I broke down and went to the eye doctor #jus got them yesterday and dang #I forgot how sharp the world can look #I walked around downtown yesterday crying #It's not even that much of a perscription #I just really apeciate the world #little things are beautiful #sour speaks #joined glasses gang #BTW hi I'm turnning 30 this year #ad I still can't spell turning

I’m not saying globlin has happened at some point (I am) buuuut when you have some close friends who are a couple that you constantly joke about having threesomes with (see: any interview with the three of them and those are only the jokes said publicly) the odds tend to lean towards that threesome will undoubtedly happen at some point… I may be speaking from experience I will not confirm or deny (I am)

#for me it took about 4 months of friendship for it to happen #considering Glenn and Rob were living together and Kaitlin was at their place all the time I’m willing to bet it happened pretty early on #I also think this is the real reason Glenn was so pissed about Rob and Kaitlin going official #like that one interview where Kaitlin mentioned reallly liking this guy but he was very skinny when talking about first getting with Rob and #Glenn did that weird thing where he mocked her and went ‘I really like this guy’ and shot her a sour look then laughed it off #like there was something going on with the three of them and Glenn is still somewhat salty that he got left out in the end

Feeling angry abt aini and cant sleep heres a rant lol, want to get my thoughts out

Still not over how unecessary aini was. The first game ended in such a lovely way for all (well most, sorry Pewter) of the characters, and while i do have some issues with it (The lack of Mizuki's importance in the true route) I do understand why some of the things weren't done. However, aini kind of trampled over a lot of the worldbuilding from the first game and destroyed so many of the themes as well. It ruined character development and comepletely threw out important relationships and destroyed the ones that did matter. It added things that dont make sense when you look at the first game, everything with Mizuki, everything with Boss, a lot of stuff with ryuki, bibis whole existence, Kizunas whole existence, Amames age retcon and then proceeding to put her into a creepy relationship, making Gen and Lien exist and acting like theyve been Date's chums for a while when he really WOULDNT be friends with them when comparing them to the likes of Ota, who he didnt like very much until he got his arc played out. A lot of the lore with the psync machine was also just weird. I know it wasn't ever confirmed in the first game that Date was the only one with an AI-Ball but with how he and Aiba were treated and the fact that people can psync without them the thought that other people might have them never occurred to me because it doesnt really um. Make sense isnt the right term here but, it doesnt "make sense" that they would just rip out employees eyes and replace them (even if abis is morally questionable) Cloning and gene experiments for imortality also comes out of nowhere because they wanted to make THAT plot twist and then the FRAYER STUFF? I HATE The frayer stuff omgg it makes me so mad i want to rip someone to shreds, and the tokiko stuff too like. I dunno I very much dislike when media takes the "meta" route and says the whole thing is a game, it breaks the immersion of the world completely for me. I also hated the timeline jumps. And the whole spoiler toggle, why make a sequel if youre going to have that its just pointless and harms the game. ANYWAYS This whole post to say I do not want a third game, it would very likely connect to the other 2 which would suck because it would be building off a shitty sequel. And even if it WASNT connected to the other games i would kind of be even less interested because like. Idk. Aitsf is a very character driven story in the first game at least, everything is tied to Date and characters and development, it would really suck for a third game to just, switch the cast (that was already butchered mind you) So truly, i do not want a third game I can only see myself hating it. HOWEVER. A datomi dlc......

#sorry i KNOWW i hate on this game a lot but it really is because i went from the experience of the first game being my all time favourite #to the sequel being the most dogshit game ive played #the first is still like one of my faves ever but it is a little tainted and it hurts #long post #negative #very negative #in a sour mood and cant sleep might delete when i finally wake up djsksk
