Michael has a hard time retelling FNAF sister location

Catra being anxious and having panic attacks over the bad things she did is actually counter productive to any hypothetical scenario where she is self reflecting and/or receiving constructive criticism.

Her potentially having crippling anxiety over being an asshole in the past PREVENTS and/or DELAYS any changes she might potentially make.

Making this character spiral over moral dilemmas does not inherently mean she’s actively working to change her ways. Her being afraid of facing her badness does not make her good; it simply means she has anxieties toward constructive criticism/dialogue.

it's sooo fucked up i can't even engage in my favourite activity of all time (look at numerous jpegs of the special little guy in my head) because there's so few jpegs of the guy around

@tundratoad fuck yeah I can

presenting my theory that the life of Joan of Arc can be aptly told through Florence and the Machine lyrics

I don't know how well this will be conveyed through text but just listen to the playlist and think about it. I swear I'm onto something here

(I'll put the other presentation in a separate post)

have i already talked about alicia knowing damn well the frontera family is actually stronger and more powerful than the royal family and the only thing stopping them from being a national threat is that lloyd has zero political ambition? if i have im sorry but i need to talk about it again like imagine the frustration. like this guy who came apparently from the middle of nowhere has at his disposal what seems to be the world's most powerful knight, a fucking bone dragon that acts like a puppy around him, has made friends with elves and orcs and even dwarves, has apparently swallowed an ancient divine artifact and who keeps doing stuff that by all means should be absolutely impossible. and he just wants to chill. he doesn’t even want to work for the royal family he wants to go back to his home and live with his parents and his knight and maybe go visit his little brother sometimes. it apparently doesn’t even occur to him that he’s probably the most dangerous person on the continent and that he could probably defeat entire armies and conquer a few kingdoms if he so wanted. he just wants to relax. i would be murderous.

bill and ted and their efforts in education is something thats So Important to me - they really do want to learn and find new things soo interesting, its just that traditional teaching methods fail them. even stuff they love (music) took them so long to learn !!!! which is something i feel like ppl miss a lot. choosing to learn smthn that is difficult and has a steep learning curve is actually So Hard and frustrating and bill and ted actually put in so much effort to learn!! and ofc it works out (they win battle of the bands, become famous, save the world etc) but i feel like they wouldve worked at it even if they never met rufus and all that bc they approach life with such genuine earnestness. which is a trait i admire so much and they make me so happy :)

yes dude you absolutely hit the nail on the head!!! i love love love that Bill and Ted don't make it through any of the movies thanks to any kind of special skill or innate talent, they manage to make it through just because they're so affable and enthusiastic that people around them (even some who would have reason to actually dislike them) just can't seem to help but be taken with them and decide to help them out - no perpetuating the myth of independence anywhere!!

and you're so right about the time travel probably not being strictly Necessary in their development like, their audition at the beginning of Bogus Journey isn't very good but it's still technically way more musical than their garage jam sessions were in Excellent Adventure! (You could argue that's just the Princesses carrying the sound, which is probably true to an extent, BUT I don't think that's it entirely bc there's not any discordant distortion-noise like there was in EA and parts of the melody do seem to cut out when Bill and Ted pause playing to speak) So they were learning and improving between movies, it's just that they're naturally kind of slow at it AND they've also probably not been able to focus on learning all that well bc they're working full time and struggling financially - once they take like a year and a half outside of time to practice nothing but guitar they're able to show off some serious musical acumen, and THEN i love how Face the Music shows how even though they've both gotten pretty Technically skilled at a huge variety of instruments, they're still 'bad at it' bc they struggle to write music that other people enjoy/understand and they still aren't overly bothered by that at all!

Also love that the same applies to Billie and Thea - they seem to have a much easier time of things than their dads do wrt learning/innate skills BUT they're still 24 and haven't moved out or gone to college or gotten jobs or anything and no one (other than Chief Logan ofc) puts them down or admonishes them for this! They're both loved and supported wholeheartedly by their parents (who OFC understand it all completely) and they make it through the movie the same exact way Bill and Ted did! Even though Billie and Thea do rely on a more-than-solid grasp of musical history to navigate the circuits of time, their ability to sway the historical figures to their cause largely thanks to their enthusiasm for the topic and general affability and i love how that's always upheld by the movies as a Valued Trait i love it SO much

that squid game reality show genuinely & sincerely makes me so irrationally angry & the stupid ass takes surrounding it make it so much worse.

i actually sincerely cant handle it. it makes me so irate bruh

It's frustrating being a person who's really only interested in diverse adult science fiction and fantasy books and has no interest in YA/kidlit or romance.

Frustrating because on one side the people who are into primarily adult sff are only talking about the generic medieval euro cishet mantasy slop; the Wheel of Dragon song light storms by Brandon Mcwhite dude, then the other side is primarily only about YA or "NA" romantasy.

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. It's near impossible to find diverse adult sff book people that aren't like 90% into YA/ YA books masquerading as adult with majority of the adult books they read are romantasy smut 💀

So as relatively romance/sex repulsed asexual and someone who doesn't care for narratives centering teens/kids, I'm just in my lonely little SFF corner. I can't interact with the broader book fandoms because both sides of it don't interest me much

It's the same issue I have with anime/manga fandom which is 99% about infantile battle shonen and then Berserk as the token adult manga. For God's sake where are the grown adults interested in adult stories where the only thing that marks them as adult is smut?

I like to read about adults with adult problems I also like to read about queers & POC in Interesting fantasy/sci-fi worlds

I'm not gonna elaborate because I don't want to, but I wish we could have genuine and well-argued criticism of critrole. I want my n1 fave to be criticised for its flaws. alas, most critique I see is either pretty badly argued or it's done in bad faith.

it takes everything in my power not to go on crazy rants about how weirdly and downright bad baizhu is being treated by hoyoverse 😶😶😶

i got the job

if i had a nickle for finding a new band with music I really like and finding out it's a separate side project involving the lead singer of Deftones, I'd have 2 nickles.

which isn't a lot of nickles, but seems like an unreasonably large amount of musical work for one guy to be involved in.

me whenever i see ppl saying greg should be erased from succ like bro you are getting rid of the entire show

this is incredibly specific but my headcanon for post-el camino brba stuff is that jesse pinkman settles down in alaska and has a carpentry job and listens to like. radio talk shows while he works and eventually he gets into podcasts because there's more variety and stuff yknow. and skinny pete and badger have started a mildly successful podcast where they just talk to each other about shit and jesse finds that and listens to it religiously because in a way its like hanging out with his old friends
