okay no see the thing that made me really, really sad about hinata and the thing that made me really, really root for him and love him and want to see him win it all was how, like, people kept DENYING him. and i'm not talking about spectators in the stands going "omg he's so short haha, can he really do anything?" i'm talking about how his own team and how everyone who knew them in some way - as much as i love them - could never really separate him from kageyama. they were the freak quick duo, karasuno's number nine and number ten. they were amazing! so brilliant, the two of them. and hinata thought it was a way out, at first. he thought it was a way over the summit. he thought it was the key to being someone better.
but a key goes both ways, you know. it can lock you up just as much as it can set you free.
and hinata had to be so, so frustrated. everyone was finding ways to move forward except him. everyone expected him to stay stuck. and you could argue that that's not entirely true, sure, that he was always training, always trying to catch up, and they encouraged that. but nobody ever expected him to be more. nobody ever expected him to go beyond what he had with kageyama - they all thought that was enough for hinata. they thought he was fine like that because it worked for the rest of them. they underestimated how much he wanted to be capable. they didn't get how much he wanted to stand on his own two feet.
and that wasn't fair to hinata! it wasn't fair that hinata, who loved to play and loved the game and loved volleyball so so much, was the only one being left behind! he wanted to change that but nobody was trying with him!!! so of course he got impatient!! of course he was reckless!!! of course he was carving his own opportunities!!! there was no way forward otherwise!!! because if we take a minute to think about how training would have gone while kageyama was at tokyo, let's be honest — it probably wouldn't have gone well. nobody else can do with hinata what kageyama could do with him. hinata would have been held back. he would have felt useless. practicing serves and receives was stuff he was already doing constantly before that, and it wasn't teaching him anything. yeah hinata was a little bit selfish and a little bit shameless but being so finally got him somewhere!!
all hinata ever wanted to do was fly, even if it meant straying from the flock to do so
#anyways lesson learned: when you've exhausted all other options then just fucking go for it#what's the worst that could happen#you either get shit done or you don't#ball boy arc is sooooo important and i hate when ppl treat it like hinata was just being stupid#he was FED UP!!!#washijo sure as hell wasn't going to let him prove anything so he had to do it himself#and hinata actually showed a LOT of restraint for how he actually is imo#he accepted washijo's decision so easily. i think he knew in a way. that he wouldn't have been accepted#but he had to try SOMETHING bc he wasn't getting anywhere with everyone else!!!!#and my heart breaks whenever i think about taking suga taking kageyama's part in the early part of the story#about them not needing to try anything new or do anything risky so close to the tournament#hinata was so fucking shackled and that's why brazil was so good for him#it gave him a chance to grow into himself#ALSO EVERYONE KEEPS ACTING SURPRISED WHEN HE GETS BETTER AND BETTER WHEN THAT'S ALL HE EVER WANTED HELLO#hinata shouyou#haikyuu#haikyuu!!#haikyuu meta#sou says stuff

Aight I've been filled in
So people are really just pissy about the lore change ?
God damn, I have nothing else to say but "grow up" ( as bitchy as it sounds)
Choco admitted the mistake of not setting proper boundaries and feeling unhappy about what the direction of their characters, that happens, it's not the end of the world
Characters are litterally a bunch of lines and words, it can move, change, stretch, and sometimes the creator wants to change the direction, and that's okay, it's their choice
Yes, it affects the lore of others, that's unconvinient, but ( and I may sound bitchy again here), good lore writing should allow you to always move forward despite the change in characters, especially in roleplay.
I'm all for Glitch changing if it makes their mod and creators feel more comfortable with it
Calling it a drama and involving me is taking things so out of proportions about something that at the end of the way, doesn't matter that much
Again, it's just a story, there are plenty more !
Also, the haters should really stop coming to me as if I'm some sort of autority here.
I'm just a gremlin that caught on the trend at the right time to make awesome friends, and I'm happy to see that more cool characters were born out of the multiverse concept too
#it's so absurd#whining about lore change ?#do you guys have ANY idea of how many times I had to patch up wttmv lore because the others keep adding stuff to their characters#this is also why we have strict boundaries on the blog and we don't show what we work on unless it's lore relevant#there are already so many concepts that have changed and I have to double check regularly what I can share#cause we don't want confusion in our stories#at the end of the day everyone deals with this how they see fit#but also - the lessons are probably learned by now#set boundaries#and sometimes a little planning for your character helps prevent going astray#as fun as freeballing is#the danger of your character becoming a parody is always there unfortunately#sorry for the ramble

nightbringer lesson 14 FUCKED ME UP in several ways but primarily I've spent the last 48 hours making myself sad over the solomon backstory we got. specifically I have, for no reason, latched onto that one chapter in the Kids event where baby solomon cried because he felt so guilty over being responsible for that spell. and that just feels a touch more depressing in context
#nightbringer spoilers#obey me on side#went back and unlocked the event again because i could not get this out of my brain i know it's probably not that deep#but it is that deep TO ME. okay#baby solomon has been on my brain since thirteen told that story so that's probably why it's sticking in my brain so hard but whatever#in case anyone was wondering the other things to make me sad are:#he has such a deeply excessive amount of lights in his room in purgatory hall there are SEVERAL chandeliers and lamps#there's a good handful in his room in cocytus hall too (his horror dg showed it) if a more normal amount#but that with the 'dim and gloomy' detail. ☹️#i've also always thought that solomon's loneliness wasn't all about the immortal angst but like.#having it confirmed that he's had reason to be lonely since he was a child- before he was old enough to know he was using magic-#totally crushed me girl why can't I be wrong#had emotions about lesson 14 in general but solomon backstory steals the show every time for me so i haven't gotten around to the rest#i'm enjoying the nightbringer story so much (not talking about the game design. that's a different thing entirely) but man#the pacing is WILD it feels like every lesson could be a whole lesson block at the least. it's giving me a lot of room to speculate#which I always love! but i do wish they would slow down a little and expand on some of these concepts they're bringing up#because the basic idea of the game alone is REALLY INTRIGUING and it'd be a shame if they raced back to the present imo#what was i even talking about. sorry my brain fast forwards as soon as i get into the tags there is not one sequitur to be seen#so curious about solomon's friend now too. like my guess is it's going to be lilith (and hopefully not in a popular fan theory kind of way)#because it's more than a little suspicious that they expanded on lilith's views on humans the way they did#in a way that SO PERFECTLY lines up with the expansion on solomon's views on humans#WHICH I HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT YET BY THE WAY BUT LIKE. HE IS SO RIGHT AND REAL FOR THAT#it's beyond stressful to me that I think solomon is completely justified in his views and being completely reasonable about it#but that it would also mean war between the worlds presumably while the brothers are still recovering from THEIRS#you cannot give me that choice man. not even sure that the human world would be ABLE to win that fight if we're being real#solomon's 72 pacts are a lot yes but he's still only one guy who is NOT on good terms with the sorcerer's society#and mc is powerful but so so inexperienced. and that's IF they choose to side with the human world which#really i don't think the canon mc is likely to do. but anyway i guess solomon's friend could also be adam maybe?#that could be wishful thinking because i like adam though. even if his hair SUUUCKS#deeply offended by everyone thinking solomon got the fucked up hair when all signs point to adam be NICE TO HIM he's ugly already

How many times do I have to learn the lesson that I should start the story when the story starts instead of trying to tack on introductory worldbuilding?
Seriously. My instincts about when to start the story are almost never wrong. But I always assume the first scene in my imagination requires set-up that people outside of my imagination don't have. So I tack on an intro to set the mood and to set up the plot and characters and world. And it's boring. When I should have just started where I wanted to start so I could weave explanations into a scene where things are actually happening.
#adventures in writing#i decided to tackle that goose girl retelling i came up with earlier this summer#(the one that was supposed to be a simple short version of a fairy tale)#(but i got too attached to it and became paralyzed by the need to do it right)#it turned out that one big hurdle was the lack of names#so i finally just picked some and went with it#and then when it came to starting the story i thought that i needed to show how the mc feels lost and ashamed by her fall#and explain that she had a talking horse and it's dead now and all that complicated stuff#and then i remembered writing 'a day late' where i made sure the story started with the character *doing* something#which is a decent lesson but it wasn't quite enough here#the really important lesson i should have learned from 'a day late' is that you shouldn't start the story too early#i had tried a meandering scene of beatrice arriving at the castle and it was boring#and i solved the problem by starting partway through her frantic search#and then wove in the explanations about her situation#which is exactly what needs to happen with this goose girl story#i just need to start with her doing something and then weave in all the exposition bit by bit#start where i'd initially wanted to start and let the readers figure out all the backstory as i slowly reveal it#i feel like i've repeated myself five times so i'll stop talking now

The youngest child can say whatever he wants and be as rude and disrespectful as he wants but my dad NEVER deals with him. Instead, he says I’m the mean one. Even though I was only trying to explain why good handwriting is important in life.
#maybe if the little brat had to redo all his schoolwork if he had bad penmanship like I did he would learn his lesson#but no. the youngest child always gets to skate by and dads never care#well ya know what Nolan? you can’t go your whole life not caring and doing everything half butt. it WILL catch up to you#and then you’re gonna wish you listened to me and Lydia#And Lydia is right. Penmanship does show your character#if your penmanship is half butt and careless then you’re gonna be like that too#personal#Abby rants#sometimes it sucks being the oldest sibling#it really feels like everyone (minus my middle sibling) disregards me scoffs me and my opinion#it was actually really encouraging when my sister came to me asking what my thoughts were on a decision she’s trying to make#might delete later

it is yearning for tap hours
#when i was in middle school my school did mary poppins for the musical and as an ensemble girlie i got to be a tap dancing chimney sweep#and it was so fun and the teacher said i picked it up really fast and was doing pretty good for someone with no prior experience#and there were like 5 of us who got to go up onto elevated surfaces and guess which tiny eleven year old got to do that#during one of the shows the stage crew forgot to lock the set piece i was on and i nearly fell but i somehow managed to avoid a crisis???#to this day i’m not sure how#but anyways#after that the teacher in charge always put a tiny tap section in one song of each show#one year it was like 8 people and the next it was 4#different people each year except for me#and after i graduated middle school she stopped doing that#i still haven’t ever had any tap lessons and i haven’t done it since then at all but it was so much fun and i really miss it#would love to get lessons one day#also that teacher was so cool she was my english teacher in eighth grade and we read romeo and juliet and she taught us to stage sword fight#i also did stage crew for the middle school musical when i was in high school and she let me have cameos

Major shoutout to my roommates for enjoying my (autistic) commentary on OFMD and not minding that I know who everyone is before they can get properly introduced (pirate special interest)
#rey talks#ofmd#like the way i do NOT shut up while watching#i called zheng yi sao i called mary read i called anne bonny#the way that when anne popped up on screen i had literally just finished explaining to my roommates who mary and anne were#and i immediately screamed “THATS ANNE BONNY” like AIWHWKEJ#YOURE NOT NORMAL#pov u are my roommates getting history lessons every time we sit down to watch this damn show#it was even worse when we were watching season 1 and i basically spoiled all of it on accident#at least now we have some unpredictability

man post-andor star wars feels so embarrassing
#I know I'm like fifteen years removed from the mandalorian's TA but watching that show has truly become a test of mettle#I don't want them to turn brow-furrowing serious with their politicking either. I get the camp it is GOING for. but there's no engine#there's less deep lessons to learn from andor than all that. simple story mechanics and letting drama drive your story instead of like#nothing burger plotlines that push meaningful moments aside instead of inviting them in. and badgering us with endless cameos#this is the golden goose outward-facing star war poster boy now I get it. has to be this way. but even THIS can be done better I feel#it is so lost up its own sauce I can't even comment on specific issues anymore. it's a stew of bad decisions and lack of clarity in#just about everything. even stagecraft feels stunted at this point. they felt like they were pushing the tool when they had frasier ADing.#now it's all so sickeningly stagnant. we are right back into 'no one feels like they live in the space they inhabit' except we learned#how to achieve that with in-camera CG. baller!#negativity#text#*DPing I think is what frasier was actually doing. and I do love the baby still so I am stuck in this sisyphean loop for the long haul#cant help myself the puppetry really is the one true standout in this whole shebang

I am gonna be real with yall, vld feels more like Powwr Rangers than mecha
#empty thoughts#voltron legendary defender#voltron#It's like every time i see people complaining how it failed to be a good mecha anime. I am like pretty sure it is not supposed to be mecha#(To be fair tho i havent watched much mecha at all but i have watched A Lot of power rangers and the show's elements are closer to that)#Like repeated robot transformation sequence? Robot only being there for cool fights? That is animated power rangers baby!#Like they dont even sacred bonds with the robots. They are just robots assigned by colour#Not to say it was *good* power rangers cuz it is not#Power rangers were heavily focused on characters and character dynamics with each other#Each episode was a monster of the week and the plot was a character or 2 being in a Situation™#Sometimes it was the whole team bonding#and yeah while the Red was focused each character had an arc importance and moments to shine#Something vld very much failed to do so#It was cheezy but it was fun cheezy#But yeah the robot was there for cool fights#and the character who was focus of the ep gained a power up after learning a lesson from events of the ep#I dont really recall the robot being more than that#So mecha fans saying the robot should have been more focused upon was so ??? For me#Anyway dont mind me lmao#This reminds me to rewatch power rangers i miss it

I did so much today and none of it was homework but I DID sign up for ice skating lessons again and this is it I can feel it, this is the year I do a forward crossover without eating shit.
#local blogger sucks shit at ice skating but has a can do attitude!!!#i took lessons for almost two years and never managed and my teacher eventually passed me from her class bc it was so demoralizing for her#for someone to fail that many consecutive classes but still show up each week#but then my insomnia got really bad and i was just physically too weak to take lessons at 8am and had to quit#and then the pandemic hit and all the rinks closed for like almost a year and then i just never went back#but my body is atrophying and i hate going to the gym bc it's boring. my friends were like well do something that will keep you accountable#and so i'm back at it ready to fail for another two years!!!#sadly it is at sharks ice and not my little community rink that closes during the summer#which is horrifying. if i fall in front of the barracuda again i am never going to a game again#did i tell you all abt the time i was walking out of sharks ice after going to a public skate#and they had a big crane in the parking lot and i got distracted looking it at it#and tripped off the sidewalk and nearly fell#and then turned around and it was literally the entire sjsu hockey team walking out of the rink just staring me#i was like damn sorry you're too cool to be interested in construction equipment#like find your joy. it's a big crane with a huge ass piece of steal. how is that not worth looking at 😤#similar to the time i was skating at a public skate and tripped and looked up and members of barracuda were just there. watching from above#the opposite of a meet cute. a meet fail#i was like well this will be funny when i retell it to my uncles#and i told my uncles later and one of them laughed so hard he had to stop eating dinner bc he was afraid he would choke#and that's on san jose hockey!#fresno oilers.txt

damn. ofmd season 2 kind of completely sucked compared to season 1
#ONLY character who came out unscathed was izzy. LOVE what they did with him#stede was annoying. ed was all over the place. jim’s entire personality was erased. nobody else mattered#things i liked: exploring lucius’s trauma. wee john in divine drag. basically all the new characters. the swede and spanish jackie#BUT NOTHING ELSE MATTERED IN THE LONG RUN#buttons turned into a bird. and then nobody ever talked about it ever again#did frenchie and roach do ANYTHING? WHO THE HELL IS ARCHIE SHE JUST SHOWED UP AND DID NOTHING AND THEN THE SHOW ENDED#the pivot away from jim/olu made noooooooo sense. their relationship was very strong and solid and interesting for all of season 1#and then in season 2 it’s like it never happened???? they literally had sex in season 1#i liked xheng a lot. this show needed more girlbosses. her and auntie were excellent additions to the cast#all in all. i think the show took all the wrong lessons from its popularity in season 1#by focusing so hard on ed n stedes drama that a) the plot made no sense and b) literally none of the other characters mattered

guys i had my first bad weed experience on monday night (my mom gave me covid and i got angry so i hit my pen after being clean for like two months and it was too much) there was a horrible ringing in my ears that i couldnt tune out and it felt like my body was bouncing up and down and shaking back and forth and my brain was convinced i was the disappointing addict husband in a tv drama who relapsed (i dont even want to quit weed. it was not a moral failure) and my friend and boyfriend were soo disappointed in me (they were not) and my life was over forever. i knew that none of this was true and i was just chilling in bed but i just kept feeling scared and thinking about these false perceptions
#i handled it okay but it suckedd#i have learned my lesson#my tolerance was so high before i had to stop so i was not expecting it#i say things#idk if ill tell the outpatient ppl about this. probably not unless it shows up in the piss test#definitely didnt make me want to do it again or more while im in the program.#and any effects will definitely have worn off by the time i get back after covid#so it wont ‘interfere with my treatment’#the pulsing ringing was so awful and evil it made my heartbeat sound faster than it actually was and scared me

Just remembered not every country has the russian roulette highschool experience of "am i going to be randomly selected to answer questions alone in front of the whole class today or not"...
#also not having 17 different subjects a semester💀#i do not miss that part of highschool#i do slightly miss the american hs classes tho that was actually fun. i took world history and they made me do a maquette of#an ancient roman building. and another time a puppet show about a revolution#that shit was like art school i shouldve appreciated how easy life was then#i had almost no friends except teachers but at least i wasnt scared i might fuck up my entire average just cuz i didnt memorize#last weeks lesson

#okay but on that note tho i didn’t know that was a trigger for me#like charlie is one of the worst stalker characters from anything ever but he’s also my fav in always sunny#i think it’s just bc i have different ways to mentally prepare for different things#which is why i still click ‘read’ for posts i’ve blacklisted#sometimes a little heads up is all it takes!#yeah idk that rly just took me off guard in the worst way possible bc you don’t expect that in a kid’s show#like ‘clingy gf’ is a common trope and i did know abt it going in#but i think it was just hal’s reactions and the dismissive tone of it that made me switch gears#idk how to explain it was like watching a car crash happen in slow motion (hey i get that now!)#this was a weird lesson to learn in real time but at least i know now#and now i Can mentally prepare moving forward#if i had a nickel for weird trauma lessons directly involving hal i’d have 2 nickels#and boy oh boy i sure do hope it stops at 10¢#danbles#cw stalking
