#which makes me even MORE hyped

[theotherace]

on a more positive, completely unrelated note, i'm very excited for the sims werewolf pack coming out today. i think it's probably the only pack i'll buy on release day.

#i am very hyped #and it looked decent in the gamechanger's videos #which makes me even MORE hyped #i think the last game pack i bought was realm of magic which fits very well lol #sometimes this game is trash and it is very overpriced but it is my trash and basically the only thing i spend money on so #y'know #indulgences #rambles #sims 4 #fun fact the last game pack i was really hyped for was strangerville #cuz i'm weird like that i guess #(i'm weird. i'm a weirdo. have you ever seen me without this stupid h---)

And Yet. #the inspiration....i wasn't able to be Regularly Only for at least another year / art done Nonprofessionally Online was novel to me #like wow ppl can make & post fanart of w/e they love huh....didn't know webcomics were a thing & i never really read that many since but. #good god the quality of Lackadaisy at its onset is like this is superb?? this person putting in all their talent and effort??? #and Then you get years & years more art and i don't even know what superlatives to throw out abt its quality as it evolves. obsessed w/it.. #if i see a new lackadaisy comic page i Will be acting out. obviously this animation is a delight & also stunning. and fascinating to also #juxtapose as a Translation / Interpretation of the comic in a different medium & standalone snippet of Story #and that we're not even quite there in the comic timeline; Taking Notes abt character info we get distilledly here....genuinely love like #take it back to '07 i'm like oh boy can't wait for the dream team to assemble. then a decade later when it did? Oh Boy. that is payoff lol #namely hooray for stitches and mudbug at the field office for every passing gangster. killing one marigold associate but not the other #which seems like a promising start to shootouts w/the other dream team triumvirate. i adore that in canon so far mordecai freckle & rocky #have met but only over a nice brunch. re: all intentions anyways. anyways i'm like Gifs Must Be Made while i'm also so riled afresh abt the #comic that i've been sooo hype for for over fifteen yrs now babeyyy Deservedly. i've done a couple of rereads & ought to do another.... #For Interest it'd probably take a few sittings to catch up from the start but there is much to be engaged over....this ongoing story that's #historical fiction prohibition bootlegging cats with plenty of focus on characters & several Mysteries. which i'm better at parsing now lol #like one of the more recent rereads like Oh Of Course x (probably) accidentally killed his y & z took the fall & that's a binding secret... #Not [oh of course] abt the circumstances surrounding a's death & how b & c were involved. nor the ''what's marigold's damage'' mystery #which is great. love to not know things. love that we can readily follow all the emergent drama everyone's wading in nowadays. hell yeah #anyways admire my organized approach to gifs here. four shots each Expressions Atmosphere Action Groupshots #sure might've muddled through gifmaking for this anyways but fr being a huge lackadaisy comic enjoyer for now most of my life helps #and its very Overall Inspiration like. just really getting the [you can really just draw stuff out here] going. fr the art's detail & skill #and that enrichment like i'm gonna have a great time following this.

(Milgram self-insert oc masterpost hehe)

Name: For the sake of posting online I’ll call her Rose!

Color: #E7355B [the pink in the art]

Age: I guess she’d be 20 given when Milgram started huh. Gross.

Status: Milgram Staff, Machine Technician

Symbols/imagery: ballet, musical theater, potted plants, board games, various bugs

Song genre: very similar to Mahiru's, something upbeat and extra pop-y

Tentatively she's number 011? She's not really prisoner but she's also not free to come and go, so I'm not actually sure if she'd get a number

Story: I figured since the project is supposed to be realistic/present day, the mv machine would be brand new and unpredictable tech, so they’d want someone keeping up on maintenance and making sure the brain-invasive process won’t cause any harm to the prisoners. She was studying abroad in Japan working on some cool neuroscience tech (irl I know nothing about technology or brains but shh) and she stumbled upon the Milgram team’s machine/plans. Long story short she was dragged into the experiment to make sure things ran smoothly.

Writer's Reasoning: She’s really fun for me to play around with, as she allows me to work with a character who is simultaneously trapped in the prison but hasn’t committed any murder**, someone who has a tiny bit of pull over Es’ mindset in conversation but not the final decision (aka the voting system), and someone who would have a reason to see all the canon content.* I really enjoy the character interactions and dynamics Milgram has set up so far, so it’s been super fun seeing how things change for better and worse when someone not quite aligned with either Milgram/the prisoners is thrown into the mix!

*As much as I love dramatic irony in fiction, it would drive me crazy if I knew every detail of of the vds/mvs but Rose didn't – and every single Milgram character is The Worst Communicator Ever so I couldn’t justify that she’d hear it second hand from them...

**I’ll also add that I don’t believe I’m above murder lmao – the main thing stopping me from making her a prisoner was a) the reason above, and b) there’s no way I could have produced a full music video, and it would've driven me crazy if she didn't have one 😂 Still, I imagine she has to run some tests on the machine to make sure things are calibrated correctly, so she'd extract little things here and there (giving me the opportunity to think up lyric snippets and recurring symbols for her without worrying about full encompassing music videos :))

Story roles:

She’s a bit conflicted -- she’s officially Milgram staff and knows she should remain neutral on the prisoners, since she won’t be allowed to interfere with the process/executions. At the same time, her job description is literally “make sure they all are safe and healthy” and she's way too emotional to avoid getting hopelessly attached to everyone 😅

I really enjoy the theory that the machine extracts videos based off of priming, so one of Rose’s duties involves listening in on the interrogation and making sure there’s been enough material discussed/not too much time has passed overall (hence the ringing of the bell happening at different lengths for each vd). She then watches the mvs along with Es to make sure there are no machine glitches.

I'm not afraid to admit she falls into Mary Sue territory every so often by being everyone's friend, because it's less about "aw everyone likes her" and more about "canon is too painful rn and I need a fix-it tool to take care of these guys and give them hugs and tell them someone forgives them and cares about them and unfortunately these characters wouldn't let anyone less than a friend do that." Rest assured she's definitely not perfect and will fuck everything up on occasion :3

Miscellaneous: Whenever I play around with normal au ideas she's still working on the machine (but in a public, more ethical setting), and she's Mahiru's roommate :) Her character isn't super focused on love, but if I had to pick a cover song it'd be Stickybug II. It's very much my vibe, the lyrics fit well enough (better than most songs, at least lol) and it's one of my favorites of the unchosen songs!

So yeah, I hope she's not too boring without a cool crime to decipher, but I wanted to share since I was really proud of her! It took a bit of tinkering to find a way to fit her into a perfect secret-third-thing role that runs very smoothly with all of canon, so I was very excited!

#waaahh posting before i chicken out #I've never posted about a self-insert so please be kind lmao 😅 #i dont expect a ton of hype for her but if people have questions im always down to talk about her hehe #this is my only art -- i rarely draw oc stuff but i was really happy with how this came out #i definitely dont think shed get a number or those side rune straps by canon standards but the art wouldnt look right without them #im mad that the lab coat and gloves make her look a bit like shidous design :/ i definitely wanted more scientist vibes than doctor #dw she wears her PPE when she works on the machine 😤 #yeah yeah theres some shipping aspects sue me -- but genuinely its mostly for fun character studying and fix-its #mkdr and neoneon also hold a special place in my heart but i didnt want to double up on covers #im so sad because she just. doesnt fit into LCSyS #the machine is fake in the au so shed have no opportunity to join the experiment #plus even if i made her generic staff shed just be on the receiving end of the lie with es... which is just canon until the very end adfsdf #WOO huge thank you to kyanako5972 and purgemarchlockdown for enabling me to be annoying once again >:3 #and thank you gunsli!! our chat was the first time i ever talked about her and it really gave me a lot of confidence :') #not maintagging but i will edit for organizational tags later #i also may put this on my writing blog at some point but we'll see #my art #rose posts #ocgram #milgram

[dearedwardteach]

wait so jjk1 is literally just seven so far??? like there's no other song rn no definite plans for the album no overall artistic view??? or did I misunderstand what he said in suchwita when he said he hadn't really worked on anything else so far???

#cuz dude if the most hyped and anticipated bts solo debut ends up just being some random songs recorded left and right #well there's a joke in there #about the state of this industry this fandom and what they care about (spoiler alert: definitely not music) #i mean i just dont get it #it feels like he doesn't actually want to be making music??? #and maybe he doesn't and that's fine he more than deserves to use this hiatus to rest #and figure himself out as a human being #but then why does he do it why would he half ass an album the creative process of which he doesn't seem to care enough to take part in #when his role model is supposed to be namjoon #i just. #at this point im not even mad anymore that he receives the most attention & success while doing much less than all of the other members #i just find it very depressing & discouraging as someone who got into bts bc of what they conveid through their art #like obviously im not in his head but either he doesn't actually care abt music which i still find doubtful #or he's burned out and is doing things bc he has to not bc he wants to #(which kind of feels like it to me. i mean he's definitely not talking abt it the way someone who's actually passionate abt their art would #BTS #jeon jungkook #jjk1

our life has really just wormed its way into my brain and it will never leave. don't even want it to. it makes me feel so many things, but "safe" is the prominent feeling. i really do love it

#needs more people making content tho #i might even try writing again just to indulge in more content #yes i have many plans to draw stuff but it is not enough for me LOL #need more #perpetually #as is evident by my constant reblogging of it #cant wait for ol2 and the baxter dlc #really can't. my constant state is 'hyped' which means im jittery most days #ourlife #ourlifeba #ourlifenf #our life beginnings & always #our life now & forever

Okay

Hype aside, they did open up something really crucial here, which already fired up my muse for Sparkle even more

Sure, they pretty much briefly went into this, but holy hell its actually big

I was right on the money on her actually being the most trustworthy person in Penacony so far, but the way she does things would still make others wary of her, especially with her personality.

After all, people are more content with beautiful lies, than the painful truth.

#Which is now making me even more hyped #If 2.1 is already this fire #Imagine 2.2 #And hopefully Sparkle significance on 2.2 as well because holy fuck

Coming up with ideas for writing 💜💜💜

Actually writing ;-;

#rant #ToT #upside is i have solved some lore loopholes which. if u know me u know how rare i actually didnt alreayd have way too much worldbuilding #decided on. but finally nailed down a bit of worldbuilding i was foggy on. #also i am SO hype for magic to come into the story #downside: i have 40k words to write before i get to be writing that part ;-; #also? idk if yall are like this. but like whatever i Actually write always comes out significantly different than The Plan #like. fact: i have every single major scene in my summary to write. #reality: at least 70% of those scenes will likely be different than the summary once i actually write them out. #leading to possible new avenues ill utilize vause they work better/more theme cohesive/more in character #so like. i love my summary abd im clinging to it for dear life #but also terrified in the knowledge reality will be way more complex #like. i wrote this week what SHOULDVE been a simple scene #but upon actually making it. the characters chemistry was so AMPED up i feel i pretty much need Some relationship development in the scene #even tho i didnt plan that in my summary. but even if irs just AWARENESS OF LUST these bitches are dripping chemistry #also the scene turned out way fucking funnier than i planned. so like. to not fully utilize the comedic execution would be #throwing a gift away. #so im now stuck tryjng to Add Onto the intended summarized scene. since i didnt plan #to write 1 an almost kiss/desire to kiss 2 embarassment the likes of which only this dork couldve created for himself

[jorgecrespo]

those pesky oscars are always keeping me on my toes

#not to sound better than everyone but this is literally my thing so reading other people'sopinions makes me mad because i'm better than them #first of all: a snub is not a snub when they've barely been nominated in any other award show #that's just poor campaigning go talk to someone else about that #second point: just because you didn't see a movie doesn't mean it's not deserving #you can't see two movies a year and get mad about shit #THIRD: you can't spend literally six months hyping up ryan gosling only to be pissed he's nominated #and everyone is gonna bitch about barbie while completely ignoring america's nom #also we literally need to stop talking about barbie it was a cute movie ruined by everyone talking about it constantly #which is actually why it probably got less noms than i thought #you the people did this #and maybe me too because here i am talking about it 😦 #literally shut up no more talking about barbie in 2024 let's talk about some other movie #you can decide which one #if you've read all this hello!!! my offical predictions will be posted later today #this year i'm pretty confident even tho some noms are surprises #but again ..this is my thing so spirits are high

im finally watching jjk0 dubbed and maki off the bat hitting yuuta with 'you were bullied. i can totally tell. i get it, i'd bully you too' is killing me

#the fact i will defend this girl even over suguru for that one time he was rude to her #and then she pulls this shit on my guy yuuta #girlie the scary lesbian privilege can only get you so far #dskjhgskjdhg im obsessed with her #i watched jjk0 subbed really shittily and gave up about 20 mins in a few weeks ago #so aside ALL the spoilers ive seen online and how many times ive read jjk0 #this is the first time im seeing it #which im kinda mad about like ive very much lost the hype i felt for it #but oh well we're here now #and satoru is making me want to beat the shit out of him #did he get more annoying or have i just been missing out on exposure therapy #jjk0 #jjk spoilers

‘enjoyer’ to me has two meanings. it either means you’re a “fake fan” who hasn’t actually properly read/watched/played the media for yourself and you don’t know that much about it but you like it on a surface level and that’s enough for you, or it means you have done the above but you refuse to participate in fandom culture online for it lest discourse and negativity end up ruining you and so you just enjoy it peacefully by yourself. i think this is an excellent term btw

#there are lots of things i consider myself an enjoyer of that i’ll post about occasionally #like ace attorney and persona 5 for some examples #even though i only really know some stuff i enjoy seeing it on my dash #there are a few things i like and i am a ‘true fan’ of but i won’t show those colors on here #like miraculous ladybug. i’m media literate enough by now to recognize nitpicks and handle them with grace by myself #so i don’t even wanna touch whatever is probably going on on here #bc i know it’s silly and wild but listen the very specific type of shenanigan that mlb is? you either love it or you hate it. and i love it #and there are too many fans who fall into that ‘hate’ category and don’t realize that the show is never gonna be for them #this is all to say i’m not certain yet what i’ll do about pokémon legends arceus #like do i add it to my pinned post do i start following blogs and browsing tags etc #or do i just quietly enjoy it alone on my blog and reblog stuff that floats my way but never go out looking for stuff #bc yknow it’s actually quite relaxing not participating in fandom sometimes yanno #and i don’t want anything to kill my hype #when something has either a large fandom or regular releases you can always be satisfied by the content that’s there #aka there’s no pressure on you to entertain yourself and make the stuff you want to see #i love kh but that’s how it is for me sometimes and i guess that’s the kicker of not having played the games myself #is that my entire experience with it is through youtube vids and fandom online which is probably not great #i’m probably exhausting myself more than i should over it #i have played twewy myself obv so i can entertain myself but also the fandom is tiny and chill anyway #i like creating my own twewy posts tho lol #most of the time #i do get tired sometimes of feeling like i have to provide content for others #or really tbh it’s not even others fault most of the time it’s self inflicted #bc i do genuinely love analyzing media and writing down my thoughts and sharing #when i write a huge block of text that’s the real me. when i do meme edits that’s me trying to people please #art is..: somewhere in between #peach rambles

#tag talk #as much as I hate to see the social cinema grow as I get new followers. we're at a good and satisfying number. and I like that #also also also. I've introduced a friend to Hannibal (tv show) and he's loving it and I'm so happy cause none of #of my other friends have been able to stomach the body horror. so it's super cool to find someone to hype over it with #another random story that I genuinely can't remember if I said already. got told by a kid in minecraft that he's smiled a lot more around me #which. huge compliment. genuine honor to make people happy and smile and laugh #people don't laugh enough. we don't smile enough. be happy or die. and I'm too powerful to die. been there. haven't done that #cry and then laugh and then punch as hard as you can. #got to visit some of my favorite residents from the nursing home I first worked at. lotta new staff but my three favorite nurses are still #which is nice. I cried when I left that job because even though it crushed my soul I loved my coworkers and most of my residents. #I get why some healthcare workers grind themselves to the bone for the job. you're making such a huge difference in people's lives. #I tried but didn't have the fortitude for it. but it's nice to be able to go back and say hi to the friends I made and see how things are. #anyway. sorry for being weird like.. one or two weeks ago. I think things are settling out again. moving is rough but we're making it work #It's been a lot of Lear again lately. especially while being at my parents house. he doesn't mind being deadnamed as much sooo.... #idk. at least one of us is capable of surviving the dmv and the state medicaid website. heaven knows I can't manage. #trying to stop using him as a crutch for getting things done has just resulted in us not being able to get things done. #but I don't want to be someone else I want to be me. I don't want to be the armor I want to be the human inside. #I don't want to live defensively. pushing everyone away. I can't do that. #anyway. we're back home! and work is on the horizon. hopefully this job works out cause I don't want to have to apply for new jobs. #the hr rep is a man at this store and I immediately got set on edge and our voice dropped as I stepped back. #then we introduced ourselves with the wrong name and he got confused and I just felt stupid about it #but how am I supposed to know which name he's been told. he didn't even use our paperwork name. Anyway that was a disaster #but we're on track and embarrassment is not a setback but a feeling about the way things progress. and it is progress we're making

if I think about katniss and peeta too long my vision starts to look like when you take damage in a cod game

#I’m not exaggerating that it’s one of the most profound and moving depictions of romantic love like it’s masterful idc if it’s a kids book #the hype that love triangles in its hey day were annoying is fair but i actually think it was a really poignant and relevant story telling #device in this case #it’s the enduring kindness with no agenda because of genuine chosen dedication and admiration and understanding #it’s the balancing of identities and and raw acceptance !!!!!!! it’s the protection and cultivation of trust and reliance and THE PATIENCE #UDHEHDHSHDHDHD THE ANTITHETICALS TO HOW GALE PERCEIVES AND ATTEMPTS TO CARE FOR HER AND HIS INABILITY TO RECOGNIZE IT AS DESTRUCTIVE AND NOT #TRULY VULNERABLE #“what I need is the dandelion in the spring.’ frankly HAUNTS MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE #the impact this line had on my brain development cannot be overstated #it’s just…….the idea of hope carefully and lovingly cultivated out of dedication to the heart of another ……. oh I’m kmsing #and only peeta can give me that …….. BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK #I could go ON about how much of an incredible and multifaceted and quietly fascinating katniss is in so many ways rhat don’t get much talk #but just thinking about like the ways in which peeta saw to the heart of her and showed her a fondness and appreciation and CHOICEEEEE to #defend (figuratively and literally) and love her in whatever ways he could and would not be a burden to her while she was dealing with so #much pain and distrust and disillusionment so that she felt incapable or even didn’t WANT to feel that or fully understand it #and then watching that grow more and more complicated for her until she’s suddenly knowing the true heart of HIM and it’s beginning to #change HER and then all of the sudden the roles are reversed and he is now the one who is so emotionally far away and closed off and #traumatized and her sudden crashing understanding of what he served in her life and to her understanding of love when it’s suddenly gone #and the point where SHEEEEE is now making that same choice to patiently and vulnerably be there and see any dark part and love and protect #despite it and do for him what she didn’t fully realize he had done for her like my god. my god. #DO ANY OF YALL GET THE VISION……..EVERYONE LEFT I STAYED HERE ‼️‼️‼️

i need to see barbie soon

#txt157 #i dont honestly have that much investment in seeing it at this point #ive heard the themes are shallow which makes sense at the end of the day #but there was so much insane hype for it that the criticisms are also way more heavy handed #like scolding ppl for liking it #<- neutral statement from me considering i have not even seen it and have no opinion on it #and i obv get the marketing capitalism complaints etc #im just rambling at this point none of these tags should be taken as my opinion #more a comment on the state of affairs

at this rate everyone's going to look back fondly on scarvi and forget abt all the problems it had and gamefreak will put out another game next year just as buggy or worse and ppl will eat it up

#im a little bitter yes #even if i am going to emulate it for (partially to see if it lives up to the hype partially to make fun of it. #partially bc it's fun to play with a friend no matter how bad a game is) #it makes me wanna wait to draw anything for it if i do post anything. i dont want ppl getting the wrong ideas #ill never forgive that dolphin or reddit gold design. and so many of them are lackluster #someone has to be a hater still..sorry everyone #the more i learn about it the more it makes me want to revisit swsh which is certainly something (i never finished shield and sold my copy #also blah. i feel like you rarely ever hear abt the employees at gamefreak and for good reason (as in. im sure theyre trying to cover it up #as best as possible. but i'm reading an ign article from this yr abt it and. well. it's not good unsurprisingly)
