I can’t help but wonder if Ouroboros was supposed to be a standard snarky-asshole-genius character, based on his lines.
“Do you think this is a higher priority than preventing temporal meltdown?” “no, you left immediately.” “Green means prune.” “I know. I wrote it.” “All your skin will be peeled off and you will die.”
All these things would be extremely condescending if delivered in a slightly different way. Instead, he is earnest, awkward, kind, warm to everyone, and patient with those who aren’t as smart as he is. So thank you to Ke Huy Quan for giving us this loveable nerd instead of yet another copypaste of Sherlock.

god i wish i wouldn't have to explain the intricacies of the neopets economy to you guys to give the full context for this but. the new neopets team that took over from jumpstart pledged that they were going to curb the inflation of rare items, which is great because a lot of rare items are worth literally hundreds of millions of neopoints, they are unbuyable unless you've been playing actively for 20 years. they did this earlier with a site festival that included random loot boxes, some of which had Unbelievably Fucking Rare And Precious items worth 200 million neopoints apiece.
well.
today they have gone a step further. by releasing this year's trick-or-treat bags. and having the trick-or-treat bags be stuffed to the brim with unbelievably fucking rare stamps, weapons, paint brushes, defense magic, and other unbuyables. (all prohibitively expensive and in-high-demand types of items.)
jellyneo, the premier neopets website, has recorded prices of some items plummeting from 2,000,000 neopoints to 4,000 neopoints IN THE LAST THREE HOURS. this is when most people haven't even heard about the event or OPENED THEIR BAGS YET.
and of course. cherry on top. 20-year-old account holders are crytyping on the site events neoboard about how mean and cruel it is to make rare stamps part of the prize pool, because their entire identity hinges on being part of the neopian bourgeoisie, and they are having MELTDOWNS over their assets being devalued until they're part of the lowly proletariat.
this is a children's game for children btw.
none of the money is real.
i'm having such a good time.

One thing I feel isn't talked about enough is how big of a hypocrite both Sam and especially Dean are lol I'm on the whole "nobody is killing any virgins!" episode with the girl from Lucifer in it and Dean is all like "we don't throw the book away when it comes to hummanity bla bla bla" and like??? SIRE YOU SHOT A WOMAN INFECTED WITH A DEMON DISEASE LIKE 5 TIMES??? NO HESITATION???
They love to pick and choose which doomed humans to save all the time especially Dean and it's always been one character flaw/pet peeve of mine but also I love complex/contradicting characters bc it feels more realistic.

i love this album because for the first time in maybe her entire career she's not apologising for a single thing. the album is angry and raw and she's like "here's this chapter of my life, the sad, the bad, the terrible and it's all raw and fucking angry for you all to see and i don't need absolution for a single thing" like she's not asking forgiveness for a single thing from anyone and that's what makes the album so fucking heartbreaking

I like how MP100 fully sidesteps the "But Who Deserves Redemption?" question bc honestly it's a bad framing that gets extremely bogged down in philosophical debates about Good and Evil and who gets to make the call and becomes an awful quagmire and is also not necessary. the better questions are:
Is this person capable of change? (Answer: Yes, always.)
Are they actually going to change? (Answer: That's up to them.)
Do you want them in your life? (Answer: That's up to you.)
