3. rant. just do it

ok this was a draft from when Bon Appetit was going down the drain and i was extremely annoyed and bothered by how the discussion about it was being held in this all-women Slack group i’m in. it really mostly comprises of extremely rich white mid-20year olds who only used to shop at Reformation and only use Glossier/Golde/Milk Makeup/Kosas products. a lot of it probably wont make sense unless you kept up to date with what went on with BA, but two things that i want to note is that 1) i don’t like the me who calls people crazy and goes ??????? when others share wildly different opinions from me, even when i think those opinions are flat out wrong. it’s language that im trying to change bc i also do it when im even mildly annoyed at people, which is bad. that’s one reason why i didnt initially post this here bc i was abit ashamed. idk if thats right or wrong but ya. 2) i didnt share this earlier bc while i still stand by what i said about Gaby being an immigrant status i was and am afraid of being called out as insensitive or wrong. it would be nice to hear opinions about this, if anyone has any at all. but yes, it is very long and very passionate, please dont mind......

this is with regards to the BA drama and the Slack group i mentioned here awhile ago. the people there are so...????? not only is their cancel culture ugly but their flimsy explanations and lack of care for their words just makes everything that comes out of their mouth performative. there’s a whole thread with 150++ messages about the BA situation and i said i was sorely disappointed with Gaby’s willy nilly response to the initial Sohla uprising. for context, Gaby is Argentinian, is BA’s test kitchen manager as well as the oldest member of the BA universe. she posted a story saying: “Hey guys! I am not one for following what the heck is going on! You know me, I do my own thing! I cook and be happy! 💚🌈 💚🌈 💚🌈” while the BIPOC members of BA were risking their jobs by going public about the systemic racism within Conde Nast. the white members of BA had stood in solidarity(🤔) with the BIPOC members, and Gaby is the only one who chose to bow out of all of it. someone replied saying maybe its bc Gaby’s an immigrant, like their mom, who was afraid to get involved in politics of any sorts because doing so in her time meant death. please tell me if im being insensitive but i think thats a grossly biased biography to impose on someone else, esp w such a clearly tonedeaf “💚🌈💚🌈” response at a time like that. i replied that and said yknow what, maybe thats true, maybe its not, but Gaby couldve read the room and given a much more neutral response even if she didnt care about it. THEN someone else replied saying they agreed with the previous person - “[i think] people are being too harsh on her. She is of a different generation who perhaps doesn’t grasp the role of social media in this movement. How can we expect her to condemn her EIC in the most thoughtful, politically correct way, when English is not her first language and the US is not her first country?” ???????? just saying Gaby doesnt “get it” bc shes old and an immigrant? i thought it was wholly condescending and fired back saying Gaby has mentioned being in the states fr a very long time and she knows how to put up highlights on instagram ffs, shes tech and English savvy. i also said Gaby’s language was very telling and tonedeaf “i do my own thing”. then the person replied saying “oh i didnt mean it like that, her response to me was representative of tbings we’ve heard from our own immigrant families right? “A lot of survival as an immigrant is tied to “I do my own thing” and that is inherently privileged while being a victim of the white supremacist system at the same time” 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 i did not like the “right?” super annoying rally tactic like actually debate w me dude. and if she hadnt meant to say Gaby didnt “get it” maybe she shouldve worded her thoughts far more carefully. also um..? i understand what youre saying but my whole point is Gaby shouldve been more careful with her words. pegging all of this onto her immigrant status, while may be right, seems so¿ what if Gaby didnt give a fuck, just like she shows she doesnt in her words? then what? like? am i crazy?? then i said i‘d rather she had said nth at all if she was gonna hang her members to dry. THEN THE PERSON RESPONDED, “LETS BE REAL [INSERTS BA’S WHITE MEMBERS] ARENT GNA LOSE THEIR JOBS” ????? I was very clearly talking about the BIPOC members...... why would i talk abt the immune white members..... she mustve barely read anything i said!!!

then w regards to the Delaney situation, some of them were like “he was in college when he used the queer slur?? when i was in high school everyone already knew better than to say it” “19???? way too old to be saying shit like that” sure he shouldve known better but age should not be the issue here. + Delaney has been one of the most vocal BA members abt BLM! hes clearly changed as a person, if not is at least one willing to learn frm mistakes! people were hunting him down on twitter, screenshotting shit frm 2012. they called him a coward fr deleting his twitter and tumblr - but whats the point of digging fr more shit to say “yes Delaney was indeed a bigot frat boy” when you already have a handful. i never knew what cancel culture was until this. other things theyve said include “🚫 no more conde nast 🚫 society has moved past the need for conde nast / ugggghhhhhh damn it, it’s my fault for thinking a white man could be unproblematic” howww. Later on Brad said he would quit if they fired Delaney and everyoneeee was like “duh Brad’s an outdoorsy white man 🥴🥴” ??? 1. THATS A DUMB STATEMENT TO MAKE 2. THE PERSON WHO POSTED THIS IS ALSO WHITE. what if Brad will quit bc Delaneys a friend????? then what? 85% of the BA team is white, Carla and Molly went to Italy while Chaey wasnt even paid fr the Thanksgiving series, Claire gets something crazy like 20k for every gourmet makes, and Molly was the chummiest member with Rapo, and you’re saying “duh Brad’s an outdoorsy white man”?? get your shit together

ok last one is when in response to my point about how Molly was so friendly w Rapo that she was the only one who‘d snap at Rapo as if he wasnt the scary prissy boss the same girl who said Brad is an outdoorsy white man said “oh i actually saw that as a personal coping mechanism against Rapo’s toxicity!!” i really died

RENAAAAAAAAA!!!!! She's finally home after 3 years! This was from the first bronze bag~

And Mii's 3rd slot from the second bronze bag, and Nayutan's 2nd slot from the Iroha Birthday ticket! Now I don't have to stress over rolling for Mii if I don't have the gems to~ I'm hoping getting both of those two together will manifest Rabi by proximity-

Oh!! A new model! Usually a new unique model indicates another potential magical girl added to the roster, like what we saw with Mitsune or even Kagome before her. It’s exciting to see some new cast, especially if this indicates either a potential Arc 3 being set in the present, or a replacement for an Arc 3, or even a supplement to it! (Remember that the instances we’ve seen of characters with new unique models becoming magical girls usually ended up being a major part of the main story!)

Shioya Harumi, eh? She seems like a very polite yet skiddish kiddo so far. In the previous lines, she panicked when Mito got to her while introducing everyone. So far, we’ve seen a couple of normal (generic) NPCs, a fifth grade boy NPC, Natsuki, Mitama, Kanagi, Mito, who’s been introducing everyone, and the person introduced before Harumi here...

HUH??????? A DUDE WITH A FACE?????

My god, that’s the third unique male model we’ve seen, after Tonker’s dad and Tasuke. Huh, speaking of which, those latter two did end up becoming very important in late Arc 2, and they were both family members of main character magical girls...

Oh, he has a name too!!! “Izumi Sougetsu”...

WAITWAITWAIT IT’S NAGITAN’S BROTHER!!! Holy shite, we finally have a name for him! Wow, he’s got the exact opposite appearance to Nagitan, looks like he stuck his finger in an electrical socket. What a mood, mate. 

He mentions here that he’s a 3rd year middle schooler at Daito Academy, which is odd, I seem to remember Nagitan’s brother being older than her? 

I gotta go read through some parts of Chapter 10 again, but I could’ve sworn he was one of the ones who helped to snap Mitama and Nagitan out of their depresso funk, which, if I’m right there, means he’s already story relevant!! 

Oh, also, looks like Sougetsu here has his own set of emotes, too. I wasn’t able to catch it well in the screenshot, but he starts showing up in event episode 2, so there should be plenty of scenes with him during the event.

FIFTY ROLLS SUCCESS WE HAVE OBTAINED THE NAYURABI

AIMI UNCAP AIMI UNCAP AIMI UNCAPPPPPPPPPPPP!

WE’VE WON, FOLKS!!!

OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE- I got the unit itself and not one copy of the three-star memo!? I got like, six other three-star memos, two four-star memos ("Reaching Out Towards Our Goal" and "Depart at Morning Glow", so not even particularly stellar ones either,) But. I got a four-star rate-up unit in forty pulls. ...Alright, Masara, Kokoro, y'all win. I give. I guess I have to like this unit now. I formally apologize for being a dick about the whole event now. I really do have a whole carton of eggs on my face. I still want that memo.

WAIT

WHADDYA MEAN THE EVENT STARTED TONIGHT

I.. didn't the dates say the vent would start when the Kimochi ended? Like, in the late afternoon (JST) when the Kimochi would end the next morning, not starting at the same time as Day 5 being cut short-!!

Now I'm actually livid

Yesterday while struggling through the Matchings fights, I ended up in a fight where my team was being brutally slaughtered by an Ebony-bearing team (which I didn't realize her mp regen was like, 50mp or something, on turn 1 -- I thought it was normal Mana Spring Adept, so I swore it was only like, 9 or 10 mp or something like Iromado or Mito.) I was in a lot of pain, very grumpy, and had forgotten my antidepressant that morning. I couldn't bear to watch my team fall to what felt like a trap team... so I closed out the gaem, expecting the match to be counted as a loss anyways, since that's how it works in Ranked, and I don't remember seeing anything otherwise. Well. Not only was the match counted as a loss, It didn't count as a match at all -- only a tank to my score Which wouldn't be a big deal...

IF IT WASN'T FOR THE REWARDS

I CAN'T GET THE INNOCENT GEM FRAGMENT NOW

It's off by one fucking point I!!!! I am so damn livid I had to go get Ma to calm me down and it didn't even work then!!!!! ...The point is, how important are those damn fragments anyways? It's gonna take me four Matching events now to get a full set, instead of three... but I haven't used the one gem that can be purchased in the Magia Chip shop, and I've sworn I won't unless I'm truly desperate. But these fragments now mark the only other source of Innocent Gems outside of the paid packs...

Holy Fuck???

I barely survived today's fights, there were so many damn Akuma teams I swear

I'm gonna lose that once the defense wins are calculated but How??

OVER 300 ROLLS AND SHE’S HOME

And now...

Success.

RABI’S HERE RABI’S HERE THIS IS NOT A DRILL HOLY CRAP RABI’S HERE!!!!!!!

Y’ALL

MY FORK WAS MURDERED BY A MOEMURA

honestly that user deserves the win, how’d they get that much damage on a MOEMURA

I immediately began trudging my way through the last of the summer missions when they were made available (like, an hour ago, my god!), in order to get both the new memo with Ashley and Riko, and also to get the coveted guaranteed 4-star ticket. I cashed that in, and...

SHE’S HOME! At long last, Nayutan arrives! I’m quite a happy rapo today :)

:yukikalaser:

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SHE’S SPOOKED ME >:(
