#shocked with myself (maybe pleasantly surprised? is the right phrase) #at actually liking barbie a great deal more than i had prepared myself to #it was just a lot more sincere than i had expected; i was afraid it wouldn't be/be more on the snarky side of cinema lately #but it was strangely so much more heartfelt than that #of course some points felt rushed/too on the nose #but the girls and ryan gosling made me so happy #and her at the end saying (spoilers obvs) that yes YES she does want to take life by the hand and pay the price to live and live #also as a former representative of unrequited love the throughline felt a lot gentler than i was prepared for it to be #it was a lot more about emotion and the joy of growing up and growing old than i expected #i don't necessarily think its heart is as pure as a truly great movie?? #but it didn't laugh AT you. it made you laugh and it also meant what it said #which idk idk in a sea of endless winks at the camera laughing obnoxiously loudly media i appreciated the at least #wanting to live and live well aspect of it all and how it took that seriously #like someone on my dash said. i don't really know if it was a good movie?? but the borders of my mind are stretched #something in me is dreaming because of it. so i think that at least is worth it all #also all the girls in the theater laughing their heads off did something to me!!! #there were countless friends (including mine) decked out in pink and it was so so so sweet to me #(anyway. you didn't need these thoughts and maybe I'll retract it later when I've come down from the high of hugging both my buddies)

#as always ignore this #prob gonna be doing rants till I get home im sorry :( #but ever since i was pregnant ive had this problem with gagging right #never once gagged unless it was on a dick lol #anyway i had to hold my fathers hand while we prayed and a gag came up 😭😭😭 #I CANT CONTROL IT #he didn’t get me anything for Christmas and i didn’t expect him to #he didn’t get his parents anything either #or my sister #I didn’t wanna be purposely/obviously rude so I got him something #i got him some star wars thing idc #I even wrote ”dad” on the label because I didn’t want it to be weird #I haven’t called him that since high school I think #I took a picture of it too to show my sister lol #& i caught him in a lie so that was entertaining at least lol #(also feels weird that i was pregnant today of last year and had no idea. i even took ”food baby” pics after Christmas dinner not knowing + #that I was literally pregnant lmao #BUT my father & i are going to dinner wednesday because i can’t say no to save my life 🤪 #if you made it this far i love you & hope you had the best christmas <3

god help me i'm going insane about dickson xenoblade again

#this is what i get for thinking about lord of the rings too hard this week (specifically denethor / gríma / saruman and the like) #thinking about the way anthony may delivered “when will you learn you HAVE no future?” #he thinks shulk is fully DEAD at that point. he thinks HE killed him. which he very much meant to. but now that the kid is no longer there #now that the terrible future he's been preparing for and actively working to bring about has in fact come about #i don't know that dickson really cared anymore. he played his part he did the deed expected and he did it unquestioningly. So What Now? #well. now nothing. now the world that he spent so long biding his time in; so long getting enmeshed in (even for nefarious purposes) #is about to end; is about to be gone forever. #sure zanza will probably just create another world and maybe he (dickson) will have Even More Power in the new one #(though that's not a given! he doesn't know for SURE his lord and god will keep his promise!) #but like. what the hell does he care at this point #dickson SAYS he wants power but i suspect that long long ago what the giant dickson really wanted was SURVIVAL. #we never get to know just how he became a disciple or what the giant civilization looked like in its heyday or how it ended #but in MY headcanon dickson saw that some kind of destruction coming and he wanted Out #and maybe he hated his peers and figured any power and prestige that came from this bargain was just a bonus #i think he thought of himself as a saruman type: powerful; remote; far above the petty troubles of mortals (even the long-lived high entia) #but i have always headcanoned that by his later days (i.e. when he started engaging w/colony 9; machina village; etc. in earnest) #he committed too hard to the bit and started “going native” as it were; started to give a shit in ways that he would never dare admit #maybe not as much of a shit as; you know; a regular guy would. but more than an immortal disciple and horseman of the apocalypse should. #and all the time knowing that all the world he'd seen would soon be gone #maybe everyone else can get fucked. but shulk had to die too. and that's what their god MADE them to do. #he can't allow himself to care or to hope for another option bc in his mind it's already over; decided; that's it #what else can you do in the face of ultimate power but bow to it and take whatever scraps may fall to an obedient servant? #“you have no future” nor does he except that shulk came back. except that the peoples of bionis/mechonis just wouldn't accept Fate. #and in some final rebellious corner of his mind he starts putting eggs in shulk's basket. “if they can't even defeat telethia they won't #stand a chance against me (or zanza)” so let's see if they CAN. oh they did? how about a dragon? oh fuck they defeated the dragon too? #well fuck. maybe there WAS another option all along. but will/can they stand against me; the final disciple? oh they can?? #guess i'll die then bc i'm not looking THAT in the face. i am NOT unpacking my cowardice/failure/lack of vision after all these years. #good luck with that tho <3 you're welcome for the training btw. where i'm going i don't have to see your trauma assuming you live that long. #dickson #xenoblade

I truly think some people in the internet need to log out and talk to an actual real human person irl. If every message you send regardless of context looks like a Twitter callout/discourse starter post it's NOT normal and I can't empathize it enough. You shouldn't talk to people this way??? It's incredibly rude and uncalled for.

I think Twitter in particular has permanently damaged people's brains because I started noticing more and more people acting like they are in a ratioed hit tweet outside Twitter. I even started to see that when I spend too much time scrolling through Twitter, I myself start to formulate my messages in a more provocative manner like I have the intention to hurt someone's feelings to get a reaction. And surprise-surprise! It's not cool, guys! Not just in relation to other people but it's toxic to yourself, first a foremost.

Do yourself a favor: do outside, take a walk, talk to actual people, hang out with friends. Delete Twitter at least temporarily to detox. Literally touch grass.

#me being me #just have a lot of thoughts lately #and i started seeing it often #and also felt it on myself #but also i had a convo with my bestie whom i haven't seen for a year since we live in different countries #And she doesn't sit in social webs much so she is kinda not too updated on current internet trends of misinterpretating #and exaggerating each sentence for clout #and I was telling her how one pretty harmless thing she did could be misinterpreted by her thinking too high of herself by other peeps #and she told me 'tbh I don't think so because it was harmless and because for me it's weird to treat each word said to you as a potential #threat and wish to hurt you and get under your skin. I don't expect my friends and people with whom I'm in a good relationship to twist my #every move in search of the way I could have meant to offend them' #and...you know it made me think how places like twitter make you overanalyse your every move so someone wouldn't think you meant to offend #same way as from the other hand we fall into being far too aggressive and too judgemental towards every words that a person posts online #ready to cut throats if we think we found their evil intent to hurt us #and you know... it seems very not healthy? #anyway just needed to say it outloud

[mako-island-moon-pool]

I really do deserve a fucking apology for all the times my friends and family valued strangers on the internet and their opinions more than me

How am I supposed to be just fine with being ignored for years and years or bullied for openly liking what I like, only for those same fucking people to then turn around YEARS LATER, AFTER THE DAMAGE WAS ALREADY DONE, and be like "actually this is cool, so glad I found it" while still ignoring me. Why am I not allowed to be fucking pissed about it? Why is it considered ""gatekeepy"" when I get upset someone who deliberately ignored me for years and insulted the shit I enjoy when I asked them to get into it cuz I thought they'd like it suddenly finds interest in it because it got popular online, not because I'd been begging them to give it a chance and to listen to me for years???? Why is that not allowed????? THAT'S SUCH AN ASSHOLE MOVE, WHY IS IT 'NOT OKAY' TO BE MAD? WHY DON'T THEY GROW A SPINE AND APOLOGIZE FOR DISMISSING ME FIRST? HOW ABOUT THAT?????

#I fucking hate this it keeps fucking happening #I have a fucking LIST of all the times it's happened this is not a one time thing it's fucking reoccurring #Nothing I say will ever fucking matter to anyone not even the people who are 'supposed' to care about me #Grumble grumble #Literally showed my dad a song and he was like 'well I preferred the one that came on autoplay after' #And I was like 'oh that song? Oh you mean THAT song? OH YOU MEAN THE SONG I SHOWED YOU MONTHS AGO THAT YOU DISMISSED AND CRITICIZED?' #THAT ONE? YEAH? YEAH??? #Gee I wonder why you like it NOW and not when *I* showed it to you! #UGHHHHH #Begged my friend to get into OP and he would go 'no it's too long and the art style is kinda ugly' #GUESS WHO'S NOW ASKING ME TO GUIDE HIM THRU THE ANIME CUZ OP WAS TRENDING ON TWITTER OVER THE SUMMER #UGHHHHHHHHH #Begged friends to watch Trig/un for years it was always the first anime I'd recommend anyone when they asked and was always ignored #Guess what everyone did once stampede started *trending on Tumblr*? #They certainly didn't care when I asked or when I was hyping up the trailer for stampede or literally any point before then #Nobody would ever reply to me when I talked about it #But now that it's trending on Tumblr NOW they're interested. GJSGDHDJDJDK #Happened with Pe/rso/na and Ro/tm/nt too. #Begged my middle and high school friends to get into the per/sona series. Nooo never it's sooo lame #Get made fun of for being hyped for 5's release in Calc class #Man you'd never believe who I see on Twitter as the biggest fans nowadays!! #Same with ro/tm/nt begged my friends to watch it but was dismissed and the episode I showed them heavily criticized bc it wasn't 2012 #Then learn the same friend who criticized it so heavily bc he *hated it* WAS WATCHING VIDEO ESSAYS EXPLAINING WHY THE FINALE WAS SO GOOD #And there's NEVER any acknowledgement like 'hey sorry I made fun of/hated on this thing I see why you like it now' #Am I actually mental?! Would that not be the polite thing to do??? #I would do that if a friend begged me to watch something and I openly dismissed them or criticized it as my reason why #And then later on I saw something online and was like 'actually...' #I would GO TO THAT FRIEND AND BE LIKE 'hey sorry I dismissed you earlier man I get why you like it now' AND THEN WE COULD TALK ABOUT IT #This isn't even about like distant acquaintences some of these people are my best friends and my roommates and my own fucking parents #People I talk to daily or near-daily. You're just not going to acknowledge what happened before??? Just expecting me to be fine with it????

“but i fear that they already got all the best parts of me” goes so hard

#if only this song came out like 6 years ago lol #i’m also nearing the end of season 2 of my free! rewatch and gosh haru’s conflict hits closer to home than ever #and idk if i’m just getting more emotional lately but makoto and haru’s fight in ep 11 deadass made me tear up #when will i stop relating to teenagers real or fictional lmao #part of me wishes i was still a teenager just because being a teenager would explain my sense of purposelessness in everything i do #like taking things one day at a time with a blurry future on a road leading to nowhere #but others having high expectations from you and being sad seeing you so lost #but you just don’t want to let go of what you have now #you don’t want to box your passions in what other people want from you #and going back to the lyrics of the song #you feel like there’s not much you can offer anymore ‘cause you were a ‘gifted’ kid and now you’re just an ordinary person #whose gone complacent to the disappointment of everyone who wants to see you succeed but you feel you don’t have it in you #so again you’re just floating through life trying to enjoy the blessings each day brings again with no clear goal #anyway idk what i’m writing #at the same time i’m glad i’m not a teenager anymore ‘cause that shit sucked #but being a grown adult sucks ass too #i know there doesn’t need to be any purpose in life but #i feel like things’ll be easier if i did have a dream #guess i need a best friend to take me to another country or something to inspire me or something #in other words i’m about to watch one of my fave free eps where rin and haru go to australia #anyway i’m rambling #michi yaps

Imagine the world we'd live in if every content creator was forced to assign a song to their role play character. Imagine the arguments and oh moments we would have.

#fuck you wilbur soot you made my expectations too high for everyone else

[lecliss]

Yeah so me and my bff have decided to stop watching hunter x hunter. Turns out we were one ep away from Kite's death and that was the only ep we watched today before being mega disappointed and deciding the rest of the show just was not worth it. I hadn't cared about anything in the show except Leorio, Feitan, and Chrollo until Kite showed up and the Chimera Arc actually started getting interesting. But we were just disappointed that Kite didn't even get a proper death, it just skips the whole thing and shows Neferpitou with his severed head for shock value. We didn't even get to the stupid Kite ant reincarnation shit, we just sat there and complained for like 20 minutes lmao. And the fact that it was actually only 10 eps in with 51 left knowing it was going to be nothing but training arcs and fights against ants and all without the Better Kite. Not worth all that time. Not even worth knowing that Feitan comes back either.

#also guess what. she got spoiled almost immediately that kite dies too. but she told me after he died and i chose not to say i was also #spoiled and pretended not to be fjfnfkfnfk. i was just. ya know. hoping for an emotional death. not throwing away one of the only #interesting char just for shock value and to show off neferpitou #im adopting kite out of hxh. hes my character now and im going to do what i want with him (i.e. sexualize him /j) #i might adopt feitan too just cuz in still attached to him #and btw this happened IMMEDIATELY after we finished demon slayer season 4 so like. the expectations were way too high #(i cried twice during that btw. and we were thinking too deeply about tokito and theorizing he couldnt remember which brother he was #which honestly made it a bit disappointing when we confirmed there really wasnt an identity mystery. it woulda been so cool if #he couldnt remember which brother he was and we never got confirmation. we tricked ourselves with that one lmao) #anyway sorry for shilling hxh just cuz the first 9 eps of season 5 is the best it gets 😔 #and theres other good moments too. but this was the only time i actually felt invested in all aspects of the plot #and sorry to people that like it. im sorry we will never understand each other. at least i tried. kite my beloved i will grieve what you #deserved but never got #personal

ok so ! i was very pleasantly surprised, the first volume was actually quite enjoyable! the mc customisation looks sooo much better this season, you can make a gorgeous mc!

#i was actually super wrong with my theory! and thats why i never theorise about anything. but its fine #the twin reveal made me giggle a little ngl. maybe its the way they revealed it but i found it funny #it is quite unfortunate that there seems to be no variation in between routes so no matter who you pick they tell you the exact same things #but thats not really surprising. theyve been doing that for years now #i like everyone! except jamal. he's hot and cool but i don't think he's my type tbh #but everyone else is. i'm so in love with grace please let her be bi (i know she probably isn't :-/) #also ivy is soooo cute too. a lil bit annoying but like i said. she's very cute so she gets a pass #and bella ofc she's so hot i love her style #anyways. i ended up picking lewie he's the most *my type* out of everyone. i like cute guys #i got the ick a bit after i saw amelia kissed him on the cheek so idk how to proceed #so yeah. hopefully the next volumes keep it up because this season has a lot of potential so far #not getting my expectations super high of course but. i really like what i've seen so far #the cast is fun. mc is gorg. amelia seems fun too. and the writing seems better than last season #litg #cami.txt

finished crash course in romance

(yes, i will be using this shoma pic every possible occasion from now on aldjdhsjkkrfl)

#I LOVE THIS SHOW #it was so heartwarming and enjoyable and i really like how they've approached some issues #it made me miss math a little that's how good it was alskdjsjhxdjdj #romcoms about people in their 30s and about how education system is fucked up i love you #highly recommend #*people in their 30s AND in love #agna watches crash course in romance #agnes talking #omg AND i was right about mr ji!!! #i really liked his story and character and what they did with it #also hear me out #mystery/murder subplot>>>>>>>>>>> 'they break up for no reason and get back together 3 years later' trope #edit bc i have MORE THOUGHTS #i really like how this series shows how little support teenagers get from adults and how crucial that is #sua and seon jae struggle SO MUCH and their parents are too obsessed to even notice and then when they do they don't fucking care #they both deserved better and they both deserved and needed support and love from adults around them #it was... interesting to watch this show with my mom too #we both hated the moms in the show and my mom was FUMING with rage sometimes #but at the same time i did have to like. explain. that high school really is such a nightmare education and well being wise #it's definitely not to THAT extend here but it's pretty harsh too especially when you have to face everyone's expectations for you #what i'm trying to say is: it's a pretty good critique of how fucked high school is and how it pushes teenagers to their limits

[lovelaceisntdead]

Oh FUCK yeah

#this right here would have made me pick this up without knowing ANYTHING else about it. #if there's one thing about me. is I love me a haunted house. #and find the deep sea terrifying and fascinating #I'm very excited to read this I hope I'm not setting my expectations too high #I think it is horror but I'm worried it's not going to lean into it as much as I'd like #BUT I'm getting ahead of myself #this hook just shot my expectations way up #julia armfield really said here is an opening line that caters specifically to you personally #our Wives under the sea

good morning it looks like there's still residual mcc discourse but also apparently punz lost like 80RR from when George ended last night 😭 Praying he stays in immortal for the rest of the act if he ends in ascendant I will be pissed on his behalf

#discourse #<- I'm just gonna do a lil vent about it in the tags don't open them if you don't want to see it :] hopefully it all tides over soon #i think the discourse is stupid tbh it's not a hill to die on for either side 😭 #like personally I both agree and disagree w drm and that's okay #I think they SHOULD have redone the event #bc a quarter of the contestants in a relatively small event is a significant amount and warranted some kind of action #and I'm aware that there was likely no way to manually change the scores but they should have just counted the best time across attempts #that way it's fair for both players who did disconnect and did great the second run and for those whose momentum got knocked the 2nd time #the way that they did it in competition was probably the best and only way to handle it which sucks :/ #however he was totally right in questioning why they waited for so many people to finish before deciding to reset #most likely it's bc they needed the round to finish so they could replay the game but why not say anything at all until after 30+ finishes? #anyways. I think that he had every right to complain and also much like last sg the vod watch ended up w a karmic resolution so why care #look a fair analysis of both that rationalizes the reason for both shocking #ppl on the anti-drm side are overreacting bc he had both valid criticism and the right to do so #like imagine your entire team morale being super high bc they did great and then someone says jk didn't count do it again #and then you have to keep up with the expectation of the first time only to underperform like that'd be stuck in my head for ages too #plus around his little rants he made sure to say that it was his frustration towards what had happened and that sending the #crew/event hate was fucking stupid and no one should do that bc it really is a wonderful event and they put their souls into running it #is there room for valid criticism of both parties? hell yeah but it doesn't seem like anyone is actually doing it 😭 #it's ppl with residual drm hate getting more ammo and making it into a bigger deal than it really needs to be #but we're also amplifying it like for the discourse to die ppl need to stop talking about it so this is my one little vent I'm done now #anyways. yesterday was epic like despite all of their setbacks and two of their best games sitting out yellow managed to pull it together #their epic skybattle rampage? george being cracked during meltdown? skeppy's only skb weakness being the border?? #there's so much more stuff that we could be positively focused on #also george's first win in nearly two years dream reclaiming most landed shots in db skephalo making out in the winners' circle or smth #also after a really sad first db loss for drm last canon db he was in he managed to do so fucking well this time and sweep AGAIN #like they can't contain him even w anti-sweep mechanisms in place LOL #scuffed tourney for sure but it had such fun moments too we should focus on those

[soilem]

does it ever scare and fascinate anyone that we have reached temperatures below the average temperature of the space here on Earth?

#i find it funny how we can reach such cold #because lowering the temperature is much harder than rising it #we went thousands of degrees up and melted metals centuries ago #and reaching 300 degrees below only recently #and yet #we've reached unnatural cold already #but cannot provide the environment that would withstand the heat required for atomic fusion #idk #it's fun in a fascinatingly frustrating way i guess? #i'm probably saying fun because i'm a tiny little bit angry at it too #well #thank you my high school physics teacher i am now mad i didn't go into physics for uni #he didn't even expect me to tbh he just made physics class really interesting

actually my ideal role in a fan community would be that of philosopher, where i start asking mods/admins questions about the rules and what they Mean in order to obtain Maximum Clarity (for Neurodivergent Reasons(tm) ofc) and probably also promote greater understanding btwn community members and casuals looking in

#like. i think the greeks were onto something when plato(?) said that a government should have an official philosopher in it #it's that or it's just the 'child of church leaders' thing that led me to ask my parents abt community building n management at dinner today #bc i was curious as to whether any of what they'd learned in seminary school could apply to fandom or w/e #like. christianity kind of is just a fandom. a really massive fandom that has its creepy parts its unsavory parts it culty parts #its liberal sides/interpretations and its conservative sides/interpretations etc etc all bc of the existence of one source material #like scaling is ofc the major difference btwn christianity (a religion) and fandom (a hobby (i hope)) which results in very real power #but anyway they're both fragmented into littler denominations that have their spats as *communities* see that's the key here /community/ #anyway justification for using religious source/insp/whatever done what was i trying to get at here. #ah. well i guess an important role a philosopher would have in a community would be to prevent the formation of dogma #like. i hate it when people say things and expect common sense (or assumptions based on their personal worldview) to fill in the gaps #it's like my complaint abt how places have rules that literally JUST SAY 'don't be weird' #i've been in fandom long enough to know what you mean by 'weird'. BUT I'VE READ TOO MUCH ABT HISTORIANS GOING MAD BC NO ONE WRITES DOWN WHAT #THEIR BASIC ASSUMPTIONS ARE BC NO ONE THINKS TO THINK OF THEM LET ALONE QUESTION OR DEFINE THEM CLEARLY #RULES should be made clear such that people NOT ALREADY INTIMATELY FAMILIAR WITH THE COMMUNITY can understand them too!!!!! #imagine if in school the syllabus said 'basic classroom rules etc' instead of like. actually saying what was/wasn't allowed. #you probably could get away with that in middle/high school but they've been socialized to that sort of thing by then #idk vague rules n statements infuriate me to some degree and make me want to toe the line So Badly bc i was a horrible child lol #clarity of instruction and strict (but not cruel) enforcement that is based on understanding the rule's spirit and intent #are imperative to community maintenance and health imo #花話
