on my gomens bs tonight i guess. bro what the fuck was that finale.
i just. the first four eps were good ! not too much meat but lots of set up for further plot, the mystery of gabe hanging over their heads, nina and maggie. the mini stories felt like they didn't do much but they were fun !
and then the last two episodes fell flat for me. the confession scene was still heart wrenching, but ugh idk.
the regency ball thing was,, weird ? can we all agree it was weird ? and the fact that nina was the only one who never got drawn in ? is it bc she was upset ? and how did az manage it w/o a miracle, given we were literally told EPISODE ONE that he has to be super careful with what he casts bc heaven is watching, ESPECIALLY since they think he has gabe. if he DID do a miracle for it, that feels like lazy writing ? why spend so much time setting up "we need to do a baby baby miracle oh no we fucked up" if theyre just gonna start doing miracles later w no consequences
and the halo thing was also weird. it just felt like lazy writing, they couldn't have set a halo up as a weapon during ANY of the mini-sodes ? even a one-off "oh remember when i blew up my halo?"
the thing that rlly got me i think is gabe and beez's relationship being fleshed out in five minutes in the last ep makes the payoff of them running away feel really hollow and empty.
why is it so paradoxically easy for gabe and beez ? it makes the dance az and crowley have been doing look like one fueled by basically "being too cowardly and dumb to run away together" when really its "being caught up in who you are, who you are supposed to be, who you love, fear of rejection, and love for someone you should by all rights never have spoken to in the first place"
gabe and beez and up being "look what those two idiots could have if they just chose each other" and it feels hollow and petty and because gabe/beez has NONE of the narrative set up for their relationship to carry any depth, they make the struggle crowley and az have been having feel trivial ?
don't get me wong, beez and gabe COULD have been a foil to the fear crowley and aziraphale carry about their relationship, how if you can just make the leap you can be with the one you love, but with SO LITTLE setup for beez/gabe, it falls flat
im hopeful s3 will fix a lot of stuff, and admittedly im sorting out my emotional frustration w the cliffhanger from my actual grievances with the plot but ugh. it was not what i expected
I wanted to know. Is battra and Space Godzilla Gay together? If so nice. If just friends. Then Still cool
they are in fact.......... Gay Together
in my delulu little world at least
idk how it started honestly?? i just like the idea that gojirans are inherently weak for big moths :'') they're essentially mosugoji if you hit it with a emo-yaoi-beam or something
imma draw more with them soon to help flesh it out and spread more spacebat propaganda o7
LIKE this is so cute. they gave her all new voicelines and redid all the pyro cosmetics. what the hell. female tf2 class mods are supposed to be femscout upskirts and latex mommy mods not have actual taste and effort put into them
the monthly apathy is back, rlly sorry if i said smthing to u and then u say smthing back and i don't respond for like a thousand years only to spam u after it passes and then u respond bcs ure awesome and i go on an unspoken vow of silence for yet another thousand years and the cycle just continues
just complained about my group to my irls and i'm pretty sure this has genuinely motivated me to speak in class because i Cannot let my prof think my critical thinking abilities are the same as theirs
Remember the little kid from Gaza who expressed joy and happiness when there the truce began because there were no sounds of drones? Here is he saying the drones are back once the truce was over.
Oh also I've figured out why I jive w calling myself a neckbeard so much n I think its bcos of the reclamation of it all. Like 'neckbeards' r mocked and belittled as unmanly, repulsive, and perverted, and while I certainly understand the archetype and the reason why the men it targets (violent gamergaters and so on) need to be scrutinised, I keep getting hung up on the fact that they are near unanimously represented by an image of a fat man with a neckbeard and struggling hygiene. Many of the traits that I see in my myself are used as visual shorthand for bigotry, and are used to inspire disgust in those watching. The reality of the matter is that men of all appearances are guilty of perpetuating bigotry, harassment, and violence, and by pinning our imagery on those we deem ugly, we only reinforce older ideas of what a man should and should not be (ugly, fat, nerdy). Even in liberal spaces, this imagery is proliferated near and far (cough cough ironic soyjak), and whenever I see it, it is a reminder that in a lot of people's views, appearance does reflect morality. I will defend neckbeards to the grave, certainly not because of their politics or character, but because I hate to see people falling into the same traps of appearance-based evil which can be used to draw a line to bigotry.
Like, I'm a fat slob of a girlboy, and my beard hasn't yet graduated to my cheeks, but still I adore it. Despite my adoration of it, however, when I look long and hard at myself in the mirror, I see soyjak and people making fun of the amish for not shaving and every stereotype of the gross fat nerd. My facial hair will one day be more typically attractive, and I'll have that coveted gentleman-lady appeal, but until then, it sets me apart even in genderfuck spaces when I see people laughing at Emperor Nero not for his atrocities but for his chinstrap.
I don't know where I'm going for this. Fuck it, I am dirty and gross and perverted, and the fuck are you going to to about it? When I buy an oppai mousepad, it'll be a lesbian win operating on so many levels of subverted norms that it'll make someone's brain explode and it'll make me very happy.

Objectively yes five pebbles deserves most of the blame for every problem in rain world but I think seven red suns does not get near enough flack for knowing five pebbles wanted nothing more than to end it all, knowing he shared resources with moon, knowing 5P trusted and looked up to him and STILL choosing to send him the information on the very risky plan to die that requires constantly utilizing every drop of water at your disposal and requires complete perfection in execution to avoid giving yourself super turbo mega cancer. & then going Omg I can’t believe five pebbles has done this :( why is he so mad at me now :( my iterator in Christ you literally gave him step by step instructions on how to ruin his life and accidentally kill his sister what did you think was going to happen.
