#So completely boggled

Loki's missing centuries
If Loki had to time slip back to learn all that stuff for centuries, how many times do you think he did that? He wouldn't be able to go too far back, or he might risk messing up the future. He needs to let Ravonna give victor the TVA handbook, and then get victor to the TVA, so I'm thinking that the furthest he could go back safely is when victor showed up at the TVA.
I'm thinking there was about an hour between when Victor showed up, and when the loom exploded. Roughly.
And a year is 8,760 hours. So a century is 876,000 hours. The thing said "centuries later" so thats at least two, but I'm guessing it took longer because he couldn't just study continuously, and probably had to explain himself a lot. So let's say it was 3 centuries later. That's 2,628,000 time slips.
Two million six hundred and twenty eight thousand times that Loki had to watch Mobius and his friends die, time slip painfully to the past, then see them all again - knowing that these variants are about to die, and that all this work won't be remembered.
And he knows that in a way, nothing he does matters because everything he does or says won't be remembered. But he also knows that all these variants that are dying are real people, just like him. He knows that every time the loom explodes, a variant of everyone in the entire freakin universe dies a painful horrible death because he just isn't fast enough, because he is not the perfect all-knowing god he thought he was.
His mind after all those days, weeks, years would get tired, but his body won't. He won't have time to sleep or eat. And his body won't heal. Any punch or cut he got in that fight trying to get Victor to the TVA will still hurt like it's fresh. And he will just have to feel that everyday.
Imagine how long days can feel when things aren't going your way, or when you're in pain. Then multiply it by a hundred thousand.
How long studying for finals-week feels. Multiply it by 15 thousand.
How long high school feels. Multiply it by 75.
Imagine going to high school 75 times in a row, with no support, no breaks, no food, no sleep, and having to watch the love of your life and all your friends die a painfully horrible death 24 times a day.
Like my mind is boggled.
But during all that time, he thought that this was the best plan of action. Because at the end of it, he would get to live. He made variants of the entire universe die two million times because he wanted to to live a life with people who loved him for him.
At the end of the first episode, Loki came crashing into Mobius without any sort of temporal radiation suit. He survived being out there once, and after 300 years, and a whole f ton of time and space knowledge, I'd think he'd figure out that he could go out there and not die.
I want to know when he realized that he was powerful enough to do what he did in the end. Was it really at the end after all those years? Or did he just not do that plan because even after hundreds of years, he was still a little selfish. He would rather all those variants die over and over than give up on his own life. Just maybe. Just a thought.
I feel like a lot of people thought it was unrealistic that Loki changed so much in this show. But that last step that he took to become truly selfless seemed to be the hardest. Loving and being loved wasn't too hard. That took like days or weeks to get used to. But realizing that the solution was to give up his own life took centuries. Or at least acting on that realization. How long would you need to sacrifice yourself like that, given infinite time loops?
How many times would you let the world burn because you're afraid?

one of the few zelda youtuber guys that seems to actually love totk made a video about it (i guess bc so many talked about why they dont like it) and while i didnt watch it i took a peek into the comments and of course its full of people going
"LMAO people only dislike it bc it didnt validate their crazy theories!!"
"its always the same when a new zelda comes out lol at first they hate it and then later its a classic haha idiots"
"people who dont like it are just caught up in their nostalgia and cant accept anything new being introduced!!"
also thanking him for "speaking up" about loving the game ... which i find kinda mind boggling bc the internet is full of praise and 10/10s for it
i obviously dont want to villainize people that love totk but like .. these kinds of comments are so unecessarily judgemental? how dare someone NOT like an entry in the franchise and voice legit criticism, how dare someone not worship the game just bc it has zelda on it! CLEARLY they are just made delusional by their own fantasy and will realize later just how wrong they were! hah! those fools!
on my rants there were quite a few people who actually said they like the game but agree with alot of my views on it regardless, it is very flawed but i can also see that the good things outweigh the bad stuff for others, even if i legitimately hate it; but i also had to block multiple people bc they got so butthurt about me criticising it
and i dont think its 100% just an opinion thing either, totk, even when i disregard my personal feelings on the matter, has alot of problems, moreso than the other zeldas (each judged for how it was in their time) and in pretty much every part of the game too (story, lore, continuity, gameplay and rewards, UI-) and i think alot of it stems from its conception, they have never done a true direct sequel before and it came from a DLC idea, and it shows
(though i still believe even coming from that you could have done something way better..... bc they also made botw, which seemed to prepare fertile ground for more storytelling that was all discarded for NO reason)
BUT that doesnt mean you cant like it anyway! there are some very horribly shitty games out there that are beloved by people anyway! and thats fine! i love ww and botw, both of which HAVE flaws too! and thats okay!
you dont need to be dismissive of any hint of criticism like that, there is no holy honor to defend, it just makes you look like a jerk
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#totk#ganondoodles rants#a little#sorry but like#theres many baffling writing choices in totk#and some mind boggling bad game design too#especially judged by modern games#and completely unnecessary!!#why even call it a sequel if you erase everything from the previous game#and then give some bs excuses in interviews#sorry im starting to rant again#everytime i think about totk i want to bite something bc it could have been so good#and no it didnt have to furfill all my theories or whatever#the biggest problem is that they even refuse to aknowledge the things they established for this new world#which is somethign that will never let me go#you had such a good world build there#you could have gone in so many directions forward#and isntead you go backwards while trampling over the previous game#argh im doing it again#its just so frustrating#you could have been the chosen one#;__;#im calling it the pokemon problem#so much potential thrown out the window again and again for something mediocre but with hints that give you a taste of greatness#greatness that will never be truly taken advantage of

what did they put in supernatural to make it so goddamn addicting??
#i mean the answer is the gay agenda#but i didn’t watch supernatural at all for like at least a year#like ACTUALLY watch it#it’s been less than a week i have a season complete and i’m craving for more#this shit boggles me#i’m obsessed with the carver era in general so that might be why

not to be insane but Stephanie Brown is so underrated and i really do hate to say its misogyny but. well. It is.
#stephanie brown#batman#spoiler#this WILL get me shot but. steph is everything fanon tim wishes he was#i think i could write a whole dissertation on how if steph was a guy people would love him#like. obviously Some Men In Comics will not be happy with any female characters that aren't background wives or daughters#but this is so apparent with fandom that its kinda. boggling#know i shouldnt read too deep into it bc duke and cas get done dirty as well#(duke and cas are whole other rants. i love them both dearly and i DO think Cas should be Batmans heir bc she is literally the Ideal Fit#while WFA is great but has also reduced peoples perception of Duke to a reader insert that is still learning the ropes instead of like.#the robin gang leader who has been studying since birth to defeat the riddler. who has powers.#duke and cas are kinda insane and deserve that recognition is all so i dont go into another rant)#the way that people are so happy to have the batboys be complicated people (even when they reduce them down to core traits) but not steph#she's always the fun one#her struggle with being a completely average teenager fighting to be recognized and her struggles with self worth gets put to the side#oh for what? waffle jokes? yeah okay#ppl would be dickriding her so hard if she had an actual dick i KNOW it#ppl would be making tiktok mitski edits of her

What level of idealogical drift causes people to genuinely believe that being a douche to public service workers is a form of activism. What rock do those individuals live under.
#seal.txt#that post about people genuinely believing they are providing job security by leaving their shopping carts everywhere is mind boggling#like. what leads a person to believe that. completely ridiculous.#ridiculous.#if you are able to put your cart in a designated area for them then you should do so#that's not controversial. is it?#like i get that a situation may lead to carts being left out or whatever#but why do people apparently think it's their holy mission to give cart retrievers a spinal injury and sunburn#or in this weather. fucking frostbite.#their job is already torture. why on earth would anyone want to prolong that.

was thinking about the 'sex is rock climbing' post op last night like do they know the effect they have had on my life. do they know what kind of identity crisis they helped me bypass entirely by kick-starting my reconsideration of the way i thought about sex as a concept. butterfly effect etc.
#gav gab#gd bless.#op. do you know what you've done for me. do you know what you've done for my marriage#anyways i strongly believe this would've had a very positive impact on me regardless of whether i ever had sex or not#but it ABSOLUTELY made the fact that i decided to do so like#well. for one it made it possible to contemplate wanting to do that without some kind of#internal crisis lmaooooo#but yeah for real it was immensely. op You Have No Idea-#sex ment#i promise i'm not gonna just. talk about this all the time lmao#but it is a new and exciting thing in my life#and i am kind of like#boggled by what a complete non-issue it's been for me#given my whole everything#so it's On My Mind sljdkfs

people will go “i love what an unreliable narrator mat is!” and then take all his complaints about female characters completely at face value
#yes mat being an unreliable narrator means that he doesn't give himself enough credit#but it ALSO means that he doesn't give OTHER people enough credit#boggles my mind that the majority fandom perception of elayne is that she's snooty and spoiled#like that is not true ANYWHERE but in mat's mind. it just isn't!#people are so quick to complain that the wondergirls judge mat unfairly yet completely ignore that he does the exact same thing to them#i love my man but i Do Not Trust Him lmao#mat cauthon#elayne trakand#nynaeve al'meara#egwene al'vere#wot#the wheel of time

whenever I remember that there are stars that we can still see in our night sky that died out thousands of years ago but they're so far away that the light is still travelling to us I have a Crisis
#mushroom has a crisis#astronomy#they are so far away that the star went nova or supernova in the time it took for its baby light to reach us#wtf is this time travel bs i cant wrap my head around it#we actually ARENT looking at the same stars as our ancestors bc the universe is constantly shifting#a wayfarer would be completely lost if they were transported to our point in time#its mindboggling my mind is severely boggled

Sometimes I remember a conversation I had with my mom around the time they were learning about my younger sisters adhd and she said "a lot of people with adhd need to do something to occupy themselves to help their brains think. A lot of them doodle or bounce their leg or do something like that in class and it helps them focus." And I remember thinking yeah I do both of those things but I'm built different lmao I just do those for fun and not bc of adhd. Girl...
#my posts#adhd#the mental gymnastics i would constantly go through in my head to like other my sister and reassure myself that i was normal#is completely mind boggling to me#i even remember saying to my sister once in a really mean conversation#that she was just like me in whatever quality and she just had to get over herself and deal with things and not be such a baby about things#like i was so close to getting it#but i didnt have the knowledge to understand that i was just way better at masking than she was#and even my parents didnt#i had a lot of problems as a kid around being different and not fitting in but i could never really wrap my head around it#my mom also said once that kids with adhd mature a few years behind their peers#and i thought 'yeah not me haha im totally normal'#narrator: she wasnt#idk in a lot of ways my self esteem was really fucked with throughout my adolescence bc i knew i wasnt normal#but i was smart and somewhat emotionally intellegent#so my social ineptitude was like this odd thorn in my side that i couldnt understand#dunno just rambling today i guess#sorry allie for treating you like shit

It is amazing to me that Rebekah Mikaelson and Nadia Petrova canonically had sex and the fandom completely overlooks that. The hold the Petrova women have on the Mikaelson family.
#Nadia Petrova#Rebekah Mikaelson#I also just find the mentality of these two women had sex in a completely heterosexual way#to be so mind boggling#but a bit hilarious#this character isn’t a lesbian because she had sex with a man#but this character also isn’t sapphic because she had sex with a woman#same with Quinn Fabray#Nadia and Rebekah just did it for Matt#shut up no they didn’t#those women queer#Finn who spent most of his time in a coffin and Kol are the only Mikaelson siblings to not have a thing with Petrova woman#freya didn’t either but she’s not a vampire and by the time she came around#and never met any Petrova#honestly it’s an untapped comedy gold mine

istg people dont know what narrative and foil even mean at this point
#compendiumnotebook#ppl just be saying things#something that's subtextual and something that's textual are two different things#also people not giving weight to overarching narrative themes because its not always textual gets me so annoyed#like sometimes the text lies and sometimes the text is written because it has an expectation of you understanding it after the fact#like#i saw someone say im regards to minatos awakening that 'thanatos breaking out of orpheus was never explained again'#like i feel like some things are so obvious that when people say this kind of stuff it boggles my mind#'it was never explained again' (proceeds to complete fes)#like. hes a representation of the very thing stealing the life he could of had.#thanatos represents so many things to minato#you could say what actually happened (him awakening after 10 years. being brought back to his home)#or the more emotional reading/character driven take of (orpheus was the life he could of had but never would have gotten the chance to live#a life stolen away from him though he takes it in turn and in kind because thats the kind of person he is#someone inflicted with such troubles and nobody knows but he continues on with life regardless#whatttttever bro#whatever#i think this is why people also dont talk about ryoji as much and it makes me lose my mind because ryoji is literally the perfect summary#for the game and its themes and messaging#and because people dont understand what these things were intended to be they downplay his involvement of being the most integral bit#ahhhhh im going crazy#idk what spurred this on i think im just#hm#anyways im 2 for 2 with awesome persona thoughts today so thats nice#at least i get smth out of my craziness

Told my friend Id help her learn how to use squarespace but frankly i might just try to convince her to find a different website builder when we meet up. Mostly because she thinks its free.
#zipmode talks#sometimes i forget most highschools dont teach you graphic design and website layout stuff#so many of my classmates are completely boggled at the notion of building their own website WITH A WEBSITE BUILDER and im just here like...#its ok girl... we can get through this... together <3

I really love Belos in an "oh my fucking god what is wrong with you" kinda way.
#hes just. completely deplorable.#like hes been built up this whole time as starting out as a good guy who just gradually went down the path of evil#for like. complex personal reasons#but then the show is like. no he just fucking sucks lmao#and this somehow makes him so much more interesting. hes insanely fucked up and has been since day 1.#hes unapologetically unhinged. absolutely awful. the actual worst person alive#hes so fucking disgusting that it boggles your brain.#i love belos so much. he deserves a painful death. cant wait til he dies.
