Challengers was so diabolical for presenting tashi as the cool one who never says i love you back to art at first, and then later revealing that she wants nothing more than to stay with the man who loved her the same even after she couldnt play tennis anymore to the point where she asks patrick to throw the game so that they can stay together 😭 its not that she refuses to say that she loves art and wouldnt love him the same when they no longer had tennis to share between them, its that ART needs that to be uncertain because he never grew out of being 18 and playing for her number and he's still playing that game 15 yrs later even after shes married him and had his child

this Watcher stuff is once again reminding me that most people genuinely put Trust akin to what they would place on a friend onto strangers whose videos they like.
"they only backpedaled because they knew it would lose them money" as would anyone who makes entertainment for a living
"I feel like we can't trust them anymore" as you shouldn't trust anyone just because you like their entertainment, which they make for a living
"this was obviously all Steven Lim's idea, and Shane hates it the most" you have placed your idea of who is most aligned with your interests on whose perceived personality you like the most, despite the fact you only know these people through their entertainment, which they make for a living
Like I thought we'd all learned by now what a parasocial relationship was. I agree this was ignorant as well as a bad business move. But I'm also not going to hold a grudge as if these were people who knew about me, individually, as a person. You need to really really understand that your comments and views are their full perspective of you.

it's always shocking 2 people that I'm extremely content to sit and watch them play video games and I'll have just as much fun doing that as I would playing it myself. maybe even MORE fun because then I don't get frustrated doing it. to the point where people sometimes do not believe me until I ask them to play games so I can watch. it's like my own personal twitch streamer except I can directly make fun of them when they fail a level.

something i don't see people talking about is the way hyperfixations come in like stages and cycles like it's not just "i'm obsessed with this thing" it's like. euphoria from finding something new and it brings you so much joy and then as that initial dopamine rush wears off you start to get more and more down and feel isolated as you start to realise that no one else cares about it as much as you do and you feel silly for being so into it and the thoughts become repetitive and boring so you get more and more depressed and lonely and then you inevitably lose the hyperfix which leaves you drifting feeling miserable and hopeless until you start the cycle again. idk if i explained this well or if other people will understand but it brings genuine phases of euphoria and straight up depression and this is why i get annoyed when neurotypicals use words like hyperfixation to describe like, an interest. bc it's not. just an interest it becomes who you are and when you lose it it's like losing yourself and you spend so much energy thinking about it that it interrupts your daily life and it's so fucking draining 👍
