It's midnight and I'm awake like I got a charge of 2000 volts in my body so...

Hobie Brown yapping!

More so about his... morals? Possible beliefs? I don't know, something like that.

This one is more like a little headcanon of sorts? I don't know how to classify this tbh.

Anyways! We have the album for the movie on spotify, right? And in the spotify version (I never checked the others...) some of them have voice-overs from the film. And of course one of my favorites is Link Up and Silk & Cologne (both have Hobie voice-overs).

And even with the other songs with voice-overs, I can't help but think that it has purpose. Why would they throw a random voice-over of a random character in a song if not for the song to relate to them somehow?

See this one for example:

It has a Miguel voice-over at the end, and somehow I can see it fitting his story. He had nothing and found somewhere where he had everything, but still lost it.

Oh and what about this one?

I don't know about you guys but this music screams desperation. Miles desperation to get to Gwen. And in the end we have Mr. Morales voice-over "Mini man, come on, drop the beat!" and when that happens? After he makes his speech and refers to Miles and he's simply not there.

THIS IS GETTING LONG BUT I THINK ITS CLEAR NOW SORRY 😭

About our beloved, we have this in Link Up:

THIS JUST SPEAKS SO MUCH HOBIE TO ME I CAN'T— I'm not going for the "he hates labels so of course he would never call anyone partner!" bullshit. Shut yo mouth.

He does love, he does expect to have someone one day but "don't talk about the worries, let's link up"!! He's one to go with the flow!! No need to rush anything, feelings have to grow in order to be nurtured.

And Silk & Cologne? Just confirms that.

I need you close, don't go far drom me

And I feel better when you talk to me

So come and talk to me

He just wants someone to trust him and take this slow ride with him. At least that's what he expects from a partner – someone to be together without doubting things or rushing them. ( ´∀｀ )b

And that’s it, I just spend 30 minutes to ramble about Hobie and make silly connections with my silly brain. See you soon! BBYE! 🩷

i think ppl can and should project onto fictional characters. that's kind of what they're for a lot of the time. even if in the story they dont have the exact same experiences the audience can still find similarities with them and it's empowering to headcanon that, because of these similarities, the character has a similar identity to you. a lot of writers purposely give their characters experiences similar to marginalized groups to make those groups feel seen.

that being said, if you project your own experiences onto your blorbos you HAVE to be able to tell when the story is purposely making the character a metaphor for your experiences and when the story is. not doing that. just because you personally relate to a character doesn't mean the character literally is your marginalized identity. and it definitely doesn't mean that the writers hate your marginalized identity, specifically, if they don't do what you want them to do with that character.

#shut up pandora #this is about a post i say talking about how belos owlhouse has traits that if you squint could be seen as him having schizophrenia #and bc op thinks the show fumbled his character #specifically bc hes a Bad Guy who Does Bad Things and Is Bad #the shows creator is literally ableist and is a fake ally for otherwise depicting other instances of neurodivergence positively #the evidence btw is:#belos seeing hallucinations of the golden guards to represent his repressed guilt which is a trope that everyone on this green earth uses #and the fact that papa titan refers to belos as having 'delusions'#which in this context isn't being used medically but colloquially bc guess what! words can have different meanings depending on the context #and in this context he isnt talking about a medical delusion hes talking about belos's denial of his mistakes #which isnt a mental illness thing its an asshole thing which he is. thats the appeal of his character #the show has problems in general and belos character definitely has problems but this aint it chief #methinks someone was looking for a reason to hate on the queer show hmm i wonder why #even if they werent trying to do that op projected too hard on a character who the writers didnt expect them to project onto so hard #that they forgot that not everything isnt about them so when they didnt like where they went with belos's character #they decided that dana terrace just hated ppl like them specifically #terminally online bullshit #anyway moral of the story is not everything is about you #also dont try to look for this post or anything i dont want ppl to shit talk op to their face #im vagueing for a reason im not trying to start stuff #but anyway even if you talk about how the hallucination trope is universally harmful which i dont think it is depending on how you use it #and even if you think the word delusional shouldnt be used colloquially due to its association with a mental illness #there are so many other pieces of media that use that trope #and there are so many other instances where that word is used and all of its so much more offensive than fucking owl house #youre standing naked in a river in winter and complaining that your soup is lukewarm #oh how i wish that cartoon fans can get as angry about shit like south park as they do about shit like the owl house

I think fans want Jason to be a good person or be becoming one. To have a character that is well meaning and compassionate but decided murder is ok and to stand against main heroes who’s beliefs and actions go against the people he cares about and wants in his life. It’s confusing for people. People want their fav characters to be happy. But Jason can’t have his family’s support and follow his moral code. He’s cares about people and Gotham, and he’s an asshole who kills. It’s messy. It’s not black and white. I don’t even think Jason cares about being a good person or in the right anymore. I think he cares about what will save the most people instead.

Oh my goodness gracious I’ve been bamboozled

Batman’s definition of Good is not synonymous with absolute good/right no matter how much dc insists it is. Torture, battery/assault, surveillance, those are all condemnable actions too. I won’t get into the exhausting and frankly dumb debate of comic book morality wrt killing because I’ve already reblogged plenty of posts from other people who explained my thoughts on the matter far better than I ever have the patience to sit down and articulate. I also just think the notion that there’s something to be done about fictional characters who kill nazis and senseless murderers is stupid. Jason’s point is that the “main” heroes’ sanitized definition of right has its unaddressed holes and flaws which ultimately result in more preventable fatalities, and that he’ll work to correct those missing spots.

He doesn’t not care about doing what’s right. What he doesn’t care about (at least during his Winick characterization) is whether Batman thinks he’s right or wrong, because he sees the flaws in Batman’s methodology (and since he has a mind of his own). Batman’s methods alone cannot address Arkham’s revolving door and the rogues that come and go through those doors who have no intention (or capability from the doylist pov) of ever changing or undergoing redemption. Jason knows that he’s minimizing the number of preventable deaths by killing his targets, typically Characters Who Simply Do Fucked Up Shit Just Because, Why The Fuck Not?

Secondly, Jason is compassionate … to a fault. That was his fatal flaw. If he wasn’t so hell-bent on saving his potential birth mother he just met from that bomb despite everything she did to him prior, he could have protected himself instead, however slim his odds of survival were. What about his relationship with his other parents? He was a caregiver during his early childhood years for Catherine, until her death. Even mature adults who are financially stable find being a caregiver to a dying parent to be extremely burdensome on their bodies and minds, but he never complained about it or resented Catherine for being unable to care for him. Despite how none of his parents have really been what he needed them to be, he doesn’t blame them for their failings, and even continues to think highly of them (Bruce included).

And post-death? Enter Lost Days. Despite being dead set on plotting his revenge on Bruce, he constantly sidelines this in order to save other victims who are helpless like he once was. His own anger, trauma, and mission don’t remain his priority. (Sound familiar? Something something my own trauma above my son’s, mission above all else, etc.). Why would he waste precious time and risk his own life to do this if he wasn’t empathetic towards these victims or didn’t care about doing the right thing. He is simultaneously horribly traumatized and full of rage, and also incapable of ignoring what’s happening to victims around him (even as he claims that it’s indeed not his priority). And in that same vein, the entire premise of his rebirth outlaws run was that he doesn’t care if the public views him as a villain, an outlaw, so long as he can protect Gotham. And anyway where is this portrayal of him not caring about being in the right anymore. Almost every modern Jason story is about him grappling with where he stands with Bruce/Batman. During the early 2000s was probably the last time he did not care (hello, tentatodd??).

Jason has very evidently been portrayed as a kind and compassionate character. He is also simultaneously a calculated killer who doesn’t hesitate to kill when he deems necessary, and does so without remorse. It’s called being a Complex Character With An Edge™ that as you said, people so often claim to love. However when he fulfills that latter part, that seems to upset people because “killing bad”, and they then try to shave off and round out all his edges and claim he shouldn’t be that angry. In that case I guess you should just stick to liking traditional one-dimensional characters instead of claiming to like Jason but then encouraging his character assassination attempt by dc. Lol.

Lastly, who said anything about the batfam making Jason happy? Just because he’s written nowadays to want acceptance from Bruce (a shoddy attempt at forcing a non-existent nuclear batfamily), doesn’t mean that it’s a sound decision or that it does his character justice. I certainly don’t empathize with the idea that Jason needs the family’s approval or acceptance to be happy. (And anyway he has enough outlets for angst and pain aside from the batfam hello explore his other sources of trauma and do more deep dives into how he thinks when he’s alone). I don’t want them to magically make up and become one big happy family. This is not disney Lol. Besides, there are plenty of stories from dc that have that type of “wholesome” (hate that word utilization) characterization for Jason (Li’l Gotham, Tiny Titans, wfa, and even new stuff like the brave and the bold mini) and that is sufficient imo. Jason fans who are invested in the character deserve accurate, nuanced characterization and well-written stories, whether they be from his robin days (e.g., Batman: The Cult) or as red hood.

#fellas. ya know what else is wholesome? avenging your own death #you can have moments of ‘reconciliation’ or peace but still maintain a strained relationship which is far more realistic #‘he’s an asshole that kills’ and Bruce is an asshole who doesn’t kill. lol.#you can’t claim Jason’s conflicted and disturbed but go on to say Bruce is perfectly sane those two are mutually exclusive #also please realize that a character acting out of anger does not mean they lack compassion.#implying that he doesn’t care about doing the right thing is saying the same thing that person said;#that he doesn’t actually know what he’s doing. that he hasn’t thought through his moral stance.#‘Jason didn’t put any thought into anything he did in utrh he’s just a poor mentally ill lost soul who needs the batfam’s love to heal 💔’#🤝#‘jokers just a poor victim of society 😔 he just needs someone to understand him and maybe one day he’ll heal and realize he’s wrong’#what they both have in common is that they’re misunderstood in opposite directions #the joker doesn’t have a point to prove. there’s no deeper meaning behind what he does. everything is a joke to him.#he isn’t unaware of right vs wrong lmfao #jason todd #dc #asks #my post #and I think you’re implying that he’s utilitarian based on that last part but I don’t think he is #user mintacle posted a few metas regarding that and again they explain it much better than I prob could #anyway it isn’t difficult to understand his character if you know why you like him and you actually read his stories #that post specifically was from someone who clearly said they did not read the comic so. technically they’re on their own wavelength #edit: grammar

trying to pretend like I’m not going to be emotionally devastated when nanako and mimiko die

#every time I think of them I’m so !!!!!!!!!!!!!hshdhfhshdhdh 🫠#they deserved better their death was so messed up #killing one twin first 😭 and for nothing since I don’t think sukuna would ever go after kenjaku then #like ik geto chose that life but wow it’s such a fate everything thrown back at him #and the twins didn’t really choose that life but loved geto #and even when there was a chance to carry on after his death they get manipulated by kenjaku just bc they want geto to have a peaceful death #ughhhsdhhdhd it’s just. it’s so #jjk spoilers #semi related but everything from next ep onwards will kill me #also thinking about gojo seeing Geto’s corpse 🤕 and knowing that it’s being used bc gojo didn’t destroy the body #when it was only bc gojo cared too much 🤕🤕🤕#anyway moral of the story is that you CANNOT love someone in jjk you WILL be emotionally destroyed if not killed

thinking again about my beloved tracy thephiladelphiastory. what it means for a girl disillusioned by her father to say 'the right time to decide on someone is never.'

#there's so many threads of thought in this movie which really feels more exploratory than i think most people's reactions to it give it #credit for. there's an urge to take everything it gives you at face value but the morality of the movie is murky and contradictory #which i think is the most valuable part of it far more valuable than the efforts it makes to pin down a Moral.#anyway im going to be thinking about tracy for a long time. i see her in myself i can't help it #there's a thread through it all. tracy's inability to accept her own and others' weakness. her inability to #trust anyone after her father let her down. the way she holds herself at a distance from the world #so she can't be loved only worshipped.#if you never believe in anyone then you can't be let down #if you keep people on trial all the time you can stop them from being human and scary or at least punish them for it #if you keep yourself on trial all the time maybe your father will love you or maybe it will stop mattering that he doesn't #at least you wont ever become him #mike remarks how strange it is that dext knows so little about her even though they were married. dext says #is it?#of the three men he's the only one who sees her defenses for what they are. i find his arc of resentment-to-acceptance to be refreshing #he's not the moral arbiter in the end just the guy who recognizes that she's a bit ridiculous #and loves her for it #the philadelphia story

I just want to say that the way I see people talking about tae (and I’ll add-in joon/yoongi too) the past few weeks, and especially the past couple days, really doesn’t sit right with me.

And trust me, I’m plenty down for criticizing something one of the guys does, that’s not the problem AT ALL. Have at it! But some of y’all fr cross the line into sounding like antis, but then get all offended when someone says you sound like one! When I find myself reading things about tae from some of y’all, saying the same shit that tkkrs were also saying yesterday, I can’t help but think you are crossing the line and need to take a step (or three) back to reality.

Cuz like sorry, when you say that tae is a bad friend, or that he’s INTENTIONALLY doing things that he knows brings hate to jimin or jk??? That’s anti talk. To act like you KNOW for a fact tae’s intentions for why he does something, or act like any of the members for sure know about i-army fan bullshit (really??), or that we know what is actually happening with the members’ personal lives or between them interpersonally? Like for real, check your emotions and realize that we know JACK SHIT.

It’s very, VERY possible that y’all are reading something COMPLETELY wrong, making all kinds of assumptions and projections onto tae (and also jk and jimin in the process) and legit getting angry and harboring and spreading negative feelings about him over something that we know maybe, 10% about, if even!

I 100% trust that if either jk or jimin had any kind of issue at all with kim taehyung, they would not hesitate to hand him his ass on a platter at any time and rectify the issue immediately.

And again, I’m not talking about just saying “I don’t like that he’s doing that. It seems sus.” I’m talking about clearly saying or insinuating that he’s intentionally hurting his closest friends to the point that you are angry for jk and jimin over something that very well may not even be A THING with them.

To close, I’d just like to quote 🎵HUH?!🎵 by agust d (ft. jhope):

#sorry y’all #I like to keep it light and fun #but it REALLY REALLY gets to me when people act like we actually know them personally #and that we know all the facts and therefore have some kind of right to make and spread false assumptions #to the point that people are saying joon is jealous of jimin (LIKE WHAT??)#or that tae is name dropping jk and purposely causing jimin hate on twt over it #or to be pissed that any of them don’t post something on their fucking insta #is RIDICULOUS #and I know the parasocial relationship really be parasocial-ing sometimes but #WE 👏 DO 👏 NOT 👏 KNOW 👏 THEM 👏 LIKE 👏 THAT #like we just found out yoongi’s dad had liver cancer and nobody knew!#any of them could also have these same things going on with their families #or even god forbid themselves!#we wouldn’t know!#not to mention everything jimin went through and talked about on face???#and y’all mad they didn’t make an insta post to make you feel better #anyway - moral of the story is that WE KNOW NOTHING #mine #*#jikook #kookmin

#just finished the shadow play episode. you alrready know where im going with this #i like how macaque was like yeah i was gonna torment you emotionally but youre already doing that lmao #its like when i was on call with my brother and cousin and our cousin was like 'im gonna steal your diamonds >:)'#andthen theres a pause and hes like 'wait wheres youre diamonds' 'dude we dont have any' and he was like 'damn thats sad. do you want some #DUDE LITERALLY BREAKSINTO OUR HOUSE FOR DIAMONDS AND HES LIKE DAMN BITCH YOU LIVE LIKE THIS? HERE #i really like how this ep makes it clear that macaque doesnt actually have a beef with MK and its really a beef by extension bc hes with #wukong lol. literally tells him hes a good kid and doesnt pretend to have a beef with him just because #doesnt stop him from using mk like he did in the first ep he appeared in which i cant remember the name of. but its there #maybe im reading into this too much but idk. does this say something about his morals like how he didnt go further with tormenting mk when #mk basically spilled everything to him? like he absolutely could have done it so?? this fucking show man #ALSO he might be right about mk just having a terrible teacher because he knows firsthand as a former friend of swk. so there are some part #that mk might not know of based on stories or what swk has shown to him. especially since hes supposed to be someone mk looks up to #this feels very obvious now that i said all that and something the show is probably trying to show me anyway i know #yapping #lmk

Reading a court of thorns and roses bc it's been rec'd to me many times (by the same two friends mostly) and also I've never really read a smut novel before and Jesus christ this protagonist is insufferable

#first of all its like the author tried to recreate katniss everdeen without any fundamental understanding of her character #like the reason the whole 'i hunt and provide for my family because no one else will' thing works for katniss is that her mother is ill #and her sister is like 8 years old #so like yeah obviously she'd be the one to provide #but feyre is like 'i have to do everything around here because my two OLDER sisters simply dont feel like doing chores'#like what????#i get that her dying mother for some reason put the responsibilities on her but it makes 0 sense #like whoever wrote this was clearly a youngest sibling with a martyr complex because its just. so heavy handed #also her insistence that nesta is simply too shallow and vapid to do what she does makes me roll my eyes every other page #honestly justice for nesta #1) if my sister started doing all of the hunting and providing without ever communicating why i would probably assume she wanted to do it #2) if after our mothers death she started completely resenting everything i do and glaring at me constantly id think she blames me for it #3) being around that kind of smug negative energy would absolutely make me start to be a little mean too even just as a defense mechanism #4) shes constantly assuming the worst in nesta and is proven at least twice to be an unreliable narrator in regards to nestas priorities #also that comment feyre made about how smug she felt after leaving knowing that her family would 'starve without her' god what an asshole #like you cant present yourself as so much morally better than your sisters and then turn around and say shit like that #anyway im hoping she becomes less insufferable as the story goes on #im told the first book is the worst in the series so i just gotta power through for the sake of world building #j reads acotar series #<<<feel free to blacklist if u dont want spoilers and/or critiques of this series bc i plan to vent on here a lot abt it

Finished rewatching spiderverse

[ID: the Jonathan Van Ness "okay, it's totally fine. Why am I crying?" Meme. End ID]

#ramblings of a lunatic #EVERYONE SHUT UP I'M THINKING ABOUT MILES MORALES #specifically thinking abt how his inclusion in spiderman stories changed the comic landscape forever #AND THEN HIS MOVIE DID IT IN FUCKING ANIMATION TOO #DO YOU UNDERSTAND. THE POWER. THE INFLUENCE #HE IS THE MOMENT AND HE HAS BEEN SINCE THE 2010S #but for real i always forget how emotional the storyline of into the spiderverse makes me #it's like. i see this spark in you! it's a leap of faith! how do i know i wont mess up again! you don't! IT'S A LEAP OF FAITH #IT'S THE ENTIRE FUCKING FINAL CONFRONTATION. HOW IT'S EVERYTHING FOR MILES' CHARACTER #HE IS SO FUCKING SPECIAL TO ME #i never delved far into his comic runs bc I've never liked bendis as a writer and by the time his first non bedis run was coming out #i lost the hyperfixation on comics (tho never the special interest)#whenever it's next activated tho (bc I'm a fucking sleeper agent ig) i think I'll have to check it out. especially post spiderverse #it's too good for there not to be bleed back #anyway. my only gripe with the entirety of spiderverse is that while peni parker is funny they should've gone with her og character-#-as a fuckin. i believe it's an evangelion homage? bc it'd be funny if the cutesy anime girl was actually the most fucked up spiderperson #and they didn't go with that for the sake of cheaper more generic anime jokes. boo #still the best movie ever tho idk what to tell you #I'm crying!!!

As someone who hates the sisyphean task of cleaning, how dare my mental health prefer a clean room.

#like come on brain - you could have made this one easier on the rest of me but ( as usual) NO You didn't #did i think about this as i sit in my tidy bedroom where everything just looks a lot cheerier and cozy and happy now that it's clean? yes #did it literally take me DAYS to get it this clean - and by this clean i still have laundry and stuff to do - so it's not perfect #but it looks like it p much is #and while my skin has not been cleared no my depression cured - it certainly is a boost to feel like this is a refuge #i actually want to spend time in her and feel like it's a nice room to be in - awaaaaaaaay from the other people i live with #and lbr - i need a plce to get awaaaaaaaay from them (and ok fine vice versa most likely)#but still - it would be a lot simpler if my brain liked a messy room more- my lazy parts would prefer that- but no #depression brain says -BITCH CLEAN UP - you will be happier and capable of doing some of the things if it's clean #also - you will feel LESS OF THE BAD HORRORS if it is clean #so UGH - FINE i will have to work to keep it clean - I GUESS.#i should reread camus's myth of sisyphus because iirc he didn't talk about dishes or laundry or room cleaning in that #he probably talked about death - been too many years since i read it - i don't remember - probs death and suicide #but not cleaning - he should have talked about cleaning. or wanting to die when you realized living means more cleaning #that would have been way relatable - but anyway - here we are- i'm not dead - and not planning on being so any time soon hopefully #partly because there is shit i still wanna do - but also partly because this room looks p decent and i'm not gonna make it messy #especially not by dying in here when it takes forever to get it clean #moral of the story: cleaning makes you feel like you wanna die but when it's done for the moment you'll be like i'll do that another day #because now the room is clean and dying in there would be a waste of the efforts of cleaning. just appreciate the space - vibe w/ it #and then you realize - ok life is maybe okay - and there's art and books and flowers and sex and chocolate and cute animals #so even if there are sisyphean tasks - and there are many - well do em anyway - brain will like it and then get back to the good stuff #thus endeth the tag saga after a short text post #welcome to how shit is around here sometimes

whether pasio is purgatory or a fucked up simulation or a location that’s a little to the left of time and space or even just a regular place with nothing strange about it at all i enjoy that it is incredibly full of love. thank you

#i really do love pokemas. it’s quite well written for a free mobile gacha game #and because it’s pokemon it’s of course full of like. little-kid morals #ch 25’s obviously the ‘don’t feel like you have to change yourself there will always be people who love you as you are’#ch 8’s the designated ‘respect others and treat them the way you want to be treated’#etc etc #but it’s really . nice. i feel so stupid saying this but i love it so much. every time i play the game i smile #i love how characters who would never ever meet in the mainline games are shown to be friends and have stuff in common #i love how it gets the opportunity to flesh out existing dynamics between characters especially familial ones #pokemon just like as a series means litcherally everything to me and this gay little gacha game does too.#anyway. sorry about that i thought about the champion iris story event from like two months ago again tonight and almost started bawling #diantha and lance love her so much dude . so much. my chest hurts

a guy i've never seen before in my life tried to get into my apartment at 2am last night and i'm unironically so normal about it

#i don't think he neccessarily had bad intentions but it was WEIRD #he was clearly under the influence of. something. and at first he was just ringing my doorbell #then one of my dumbass neighbors let him into the complex lmaooooo and he found my door and wouldn't stop banging on it for like 15 minutes #neighbor came out and was like wtf. guy said oh yeah uh my friend lives here and i left my car keys on his balcony so i NEED to get in #bro????? i've lived here for like 6 yrs WHO are you talking about #eventually he went outside and got locked out so he rung my doorbell a couple of more times and left #and in daylight it's like. i think he was just so out of it that he straight up got into the wrong building like i'm sure there's a #Logical Explanation. but my 2am brain was like oh cool i'm about to be super murdered. he had a mystery duffel bag and everything hhfgfgf #anyway after 300 yrs i managed to fall asleep again & kept having dreams where his keys were genuinely on my balcony & i had to be #like omg dude i'm sooooooo sorry #ANYWAY! the moral of the story is that it wasn't fun but in the end i didn't even freak out that badly and i'm not even rlly worried about #it anymore even though i'm usually notoriously paranoid. girlboss moments i guess #the other moral is that peepholes make everything loook sooooooooo much more creepy and threathening #@ that guy i hope u found ur friend and keys #delete later

Sometimes being an English major is the biggest burden because I read movie reviews and people say “this story sucks because x y z doesn’t make sense” when those things were exPLAINED IN THE BOOK THEY DIDNT HAVE TIME IN THE MOVIE BUT ITS IN THE BOOK READ THE BOOK

#i just finished never let me go and now I’m watching it #spoilers coming in the tags #and I will say there are some pretty big changes I didn’t particularly care for #but SO many reviews were like ‘why didn’t they run away’ like and do what??? Get jobs? they can’t they r literally clones bred for organs #The entire society is built on this where would they go #and people getting mad when someone pointed out that Ishiguro said that wasn’t the story he wanted to tell because it ‘makes more sense’#like yeah maybe it’s expected some people would try to run away but most of them don’t. this story is about the ones that don’t.#Also people saying ‘so no one questions raising people just to kill them ://‘#which is ALSO addressed in the book #that by the time moral conversations started people were more worried about their loved ones potential illnesses than clone children #There’s a really great line about like once you cure cancer you can’t just go back to a world where it’s incurable again #Plus a lot of people didn’t believe they were real people/had souls that was the whole POINT OF HAILSHAM #like why are you reading/watching dystopians and going ‘ya but that’s not how society is why don’t they just stop?’#same energy as people who complain that everyone bursts into song in musicals #Anyway the movie was fine. i know when books span several years like that you have to cut it down for the movie #but it was very …. idk… the relationships were different #Ruth got totally nerfed as a character #everything happened too fast #:/#🦝

the way people are once again removing all the nuance and moral greyness and complexity out of the last of us, but especially joel miller’s character is kinda concerning lol

#i told myself i wasn't gonna get into the discourse but i was reading through some of the posts and comments in the tlou tag and... oof #like i get it i could write whole essays about my feelings on this story and its characters and the ending ect.#but a lot of people are already getting annoyingly defensive of every single one of joel’s actions #literally stripping him of all of the flaws and complexities and moral greyness that make him such a great character #why are yall turning him into a clean cut selfless hero that did everything right like that's so boring #what’s most frustrating is how people are completely ignoring ellie’s perspective in all of this #some even just pushing her entire character aside in favor of joel #only bringing her or her trauma up when they’re trying to justify something joel did #and treating her like an accessory to his character when you should be reflecting how his actions are gonna affect HER #i hate to break it to yall but if you bring this highly romanticized version of joel into the next season #yall are NOT gonna have a good time #it happened once and it will happen again and i know the inevitable backlash is gonna be twice as bad this time that’s why im concerned #anyway those are just my two cents that no one asked for if you see me posting any type of discourse again pls shoot me lol #and please don't think i'm a joel hater either those people are just as annoying they're just in the minority i think especially on tumblr #why can't we just enjoy joel for the morally grey complex and honestly fucked up and tragic man that he is #it's like joel defender this joel hater that let's just be joel enjoyers #or joel lovers that'd be me because i love him with all my heart 🥺#especially hbo joel like his characterization was so good he just hits different and honestly i prefer him over game joel #and i do enjoy the occasional ''joel is innocent/did nothing wrong' memes/jokes i think they're hilarious and ultimately harmless #(also the joel/abby memes but that's another story sjafhksaf)#this was more about the people writing almost whole ass dissertations or actively starting arguments in their fervent need to defend joel #okay im done lol #lucy rants #i tried to keep this little rant as spoiler free as possible because there's no way in hell im tagging this asjfknsa this was more for me #if you read this whole thing through the end: hi i hope your day was good and if it wasn't i hope it's great tomorrow :)

lucas deserved more interactions with the older group...

#i was saying that to jack like a week ago #but lucas is incredibly mature for his age #which comes with his awareness which has always been developed; obviously... as a black kid in 80s suburban america #(though i also think that maturity anyway is something he had in common w/ max but let's not for now)#lucas could provide So much to the older characters?#he has some moments with robin in the novel but they're not very developed i'd say #still moments tho!!! ^-^#i like to think he rolls his eyes at the party sometimes because.... being around a bunch of people you're disconnected to #who don't even want to hear about you or how you're doing #is very disheartening??? very upsetting...#he is so level-headed and calm that when he speaks to them and they have like zero (0) decorum #he is just very observant and sweet #he doesn't blame them because he knows they wouldn't get it #but anyway i don't like mike and dustin at times for obvious reasons #especially dustin like i couldn't give less of a fuck my guy #anyways the moral of the story is lucas deserved a scene with nancy or steve or robin or jon #i think i would have enjoyed it! especially at the hospital too like #i know they comforted him n everything #tbt.#my opinions are correct sorry if you disagree that sucks #yeaa..... Yea.#mhm

I could say a lot about the good intentions of mental illness blogs and tags being misused by toxic people and abusers or people without the maturity and self-awareness to use the resources properly but I'd sound really rich considering how hard I did the opposite and kept everything to myself and tried to handle everything myself until it became clear my OCD was making it impossible to neutrally or stress-free interact with anything

#the moral of the story is to talk to trusted people and professionals and interact with online spaces #in a way that helps you and supports you processing in real life #sitting there and stewing and making a ya/ndere vent blog or whatever or just trying to pretend everything is fine #when its on fire #doesnt work!#also if youre just a creep who wants to justify to yourself why you obsess over people and then abandon and turn to hating them #when they act like individuals and not your romanticized idealized partner #then you shouldnt make friends at all until youve learned how to be a good human being and not a two faced liar full of spite #angry that people receieve support when you dont receive the same support bc you have the privilege of an upbringing thst didnt damage you #and didnt need it #and i know how you felt about fae and what kind of sick freak you are and this is just me venting now #what if i went to Twitter and didnt have to see tumblr mental illness culture. would that be worth it.#no it wouldnt but anyways #im fine <3
