Are we sure Sandralynn wasn't cursed with like. Shit taste?

It's def a real mixed bag, though I think besides Bobby it's more just wild choices than straight up bad choices.

Bobby Dawn: Regular Freak. Liar, Frumpy, Wrong. Cheated on his wife and then ruined another woman's life over it. This is not a a ranking so I'm not giving him a score but I almost wish it was so I could give him a comically low number. Actually, there aren't any rules here. I still can. Negative infinity and kick rocks. If I was Sandra Lynn's friend I would be *begging* for her to love herself (or at least have a better sense of self preservation) and RUN GIRL.

Gilear Faeth: Gilear was a successful, hot elf before his loser energy kicked in because of his curse. Wasn't he like a diplomat or something? Like, Gilear now is a loveable loser but Gilear then was probably kind of a catch. And hell, Fabian's mom likes loser Gilear and she's a pretty hot commodity herself. As Sandra Lynn's friend I would be doing cartwheels if she moved on from Bobby to be with Gilear. 1000% improvement. And, for what it's worth, so is loser Gilear. Most guys would be frankly.

Gorthalax: Def seems a bit reactionary to go from a cleric of Sol to one of Sol's fallen angels turned devils. But Gorthalax is a nice guy from what we've seen and as a devil of gluttony he prob can conjure up some killer date night food. I think that if I could get over the shock of him being a MAJOR DEVIL, as Sandra Lynn's friend, I could warm to the idea. And he's not Bobby Dawn so instant improvement. However, as there was infidelity involved this would be another GIRL WHAT? reaction from me. But again, less about the guy himself, more about the decision to cheat.

Jawbone: OK so the thing about Jawbone is that I think he's great and a super good person and he's Brennan's semi-self insert so of course I love him. But he would also be an insane person to know IRL. Like, the stories he tells so casually. I think I'd be like, uh are you sure about this one? But he seems to have at least mostly chilled out now that he's working with kids and I think he's a really great guy. There's maybe a risk of contracting Lycanthropy but I'm sure they're using whatever protection you use for that. Solid guy as long as you're cool with his past.

Garthy: When Garthy was introduced, 80% of the fandom was instantly thirsting over them so objectively, "Garthy is hot" is a pretty mainstream opinion. And even if you (like myself) were in the 20% of people not thirsting over them, they're still very clearly a good person between raising Ayda and being super into self care (I loved the scene with them and Mercer's char in PoL). Also they're just really cool conceptually. So again, very normal person for Sandra Lynn to wanna hook up with. The problem, once again, is the infidelity. Especially because Jawbone was willing to have an open relationship! He closed the relationship for her! She took an L here for no reason!

So, to recap: shitty guy, good guy (who was cursed), devil (who is a good guy* and also an affair partner), good guy (with a wild past), and hot pirate (who is a good person* and also an affair partner).

*I don't remember if they knew Sandra Lynn was in a relationship when they were hooking up with her and am not factoring that into my judgement.

Besides Bobby Dawn, the rest of her choices were pretty OK (unless I'm forgetting stuff). Wild and with no obvious connecting thread--she absolutely has a rogue's gallery to rival Batman's--but it seems like the problems she had with relationships came down more to stuff other than, "She picked an objectively bad guy."

She really has the most inconsistent taste ever. I can't even begin to categorize what her type is. Gilear and Garthy should never been on any list together besides, "NPCs with G names."

I would love to get isekai'd into being a professional child therapist

Alternatively I wouldn't want to be Fu for gender reasons but like. If I could be isekaid into A Guardian that'd be dope

Let me give these kids therapy

Honestly the therapy business should’ve been BOOMING post Hawkmoth

I? What does this mean? Like genuinely is there stuff about Strega we didn't know in the original game? Best I can guess is stuff from the light novel but that would be fleshing out their characters not like "oh the truth about them?"

Baffled. I am baffled

Takaya and Jin on screen kiss /s

But in all seriousness it probably is the light novel stuff or any additional things from any other content? There's a lot about the P3 characters that simply wasn't in the original games that got revealed in the stage plays, the manga, the radio drama, etc, so I'm glad they're putting that stuff into Reload so that people who don't have the time to consume that stuff can learn more about the characters

Ah shit I missed that the finals were going on. I would have contributed to the propaganda (though Hilda does suck) Fun fact here are ptsd symptoms Alear shows at a quick glance and all of these are because of Sombron

Post-mortem propaganda I guess 😂 And yep all of these check out

Ourple and Mint!

HELL YEHA TY ALTO <3 I would love to bake cookies with u

Also thanks nfodjs I'm honored you think I'm funny

Would you consider a worst siblings duo tournament? (I want to vote for Bloom and Tailtiu)

hmmmmm....

mayhaps....

I just found out Marcel’s Midnight Suns came out today, are you still thinking of getting it?

...I hate to make fun of a typo, but "Marcel's Midnight Suns" sounds like either a series of paintings or a French art film. =p

Anyway- yes, probably December 29th. Unfortunately, I celebrate Christmas, and thus cannot buy anything for myself from November onwards, for fear of accidentally buying something someone's gotten me as a gift.

But I usually don't get videogames as gifts, even if I ask for them.

So that last delay from October to December fucked me re: getting it at launch, and I have to wait until the 25th to see if anyone got me it, and then three working days for shipping.

Happy birthday!

Thank you Alto!! ❤️

The eternal rivalry of Big Steve and his arch nemesis Lord Andy. Steve was affectionately named after Sondheim which means that this ginger gremlin can only be Lloyd Webber lmao my mom thinks she's so clever with the nicknames.

Look at this shitlord. What's he got to be so happy about?

Lord Andy comes by occasionally to scream at the door and piss on the side of the house. Steve is NOT happy about it.

Making this a seperate post because it's stupid but GAHHH I'M SO UNREASONAVLY ANNOYED THIS IS SUCH A PET PEEVE OF MINE

Just because something works in one piece of media doesn't mean it works in every example!

Pippin is a one-act musical! Lots of short plays are very tightly paced and intense and because of that it works!

THAT DOESN'T MAKE ONE ACT NO INTERMISSION THE SUPERIOR STRUCTURE

There are two act musicals that can probably work as one act (Hadestown, I also think it would be really hard to put a second act in a hypothetical stage version of Encanto without doing a bit of restructuring)

There are 2.5 hour movies that don't have intermissions and really, REALLY should (take your pick?)

THAT DOESN'T MEAN INTO THE WOODS WORKS BETTER WITHOUT AN INTERMISSION! Or at all!

DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD

I have not been watching the new season because I am poor and waited to wait until I could binge it all with a crunchy roll free trial but from what I’m gathering there is at least somewhat of a time skip because everyone went back “when” they were needed and like. Obviously it’s not gonna be too long but CONSIDER: It turns out that “when” they were needed is like, a week later. Salem wasn’t feeling patient

My guess is that the time skip wasn't too long, a couple months to a year at most

But god it would be so funny if it was actually just a week. Poor Ruby is finally about to have her first actual night of sleep in literal days, but then she has to deal with Atlas vs Mantle vs Vacuo tension

God wait it would be peak comedy if the Rat Grinders did all this work to bring What's his face back to upstage the Bad Kids and then the Bad Kids just do it themselves with way less of the prep work. Upstaged in their own evil plan

Live footage of Kipperlilly Copperkettle on winter break learning that the Bad Kids accidentally speedran her entire evil plan:

I’m so sorry you had to have School Days explained to you

Haru b6?

Oh shit did I miss gush about Bloodkeep time? I LOVE how fully off the rail the players went and Brennan’s quick thinking! Finding out they were never supposed to meet Avanash? Brennan rapidly thinking of the funniest thing a Giant Eagle could be and the answer being “completely normal” thus giving us John Feathers? Truly a hilarious season

it is impossible to miss "gush about bloodkeep time" because on this blog it is ALWAYS "gush about bloodkeep time"

anyway YEAH i remember when i learned that the final episode was supposed to be pvp and at some point brennan had to accept that that was no longer going to happen... surprise they're a found family now

and let's never forget john feathers's girlfriend, samantha eagles. thank you brennan

Kosei's head chef my beloved. She's worked at Michelin star restaurants but also crucially cannot make anything on her own. She needs at least 80% of a recipe.

Everyone loves her too much to ask her to stop being experimental tho so they all agree to suffer out of politeness

She is such an icon I love her!!! Love the universal agreement that yep this chef lady is so cool her cooking is crazy but she's so cool we'll just go along with it.
