Based on the fantastic season 3 premiere, this is what I'm guessing we could have gotten in the first half of season 3 if it had a full season:

The Witch gang adjusting to life on earth

Uncovering the location of the titan blood would have been stretched out through multiple episodes

More bonding between the Hex Squad and Camilla (and Vee)

Vee having to adjust to basically starting all over again with a new persona since Luz is back home

LUMITY EARTH DATE 😭😭😭😭😭

MORE HUNTLOW MOMENTS 😭😭😭😭😭

Seeing Hunter and Gus be total bros

Seeing Luz struggle to adjust to life back on earth, especially at school

Delving even more into Camilla and Luz complicated relationship

Hunter being corrupted by Belos would be a slow burn as he starts acting differently the more Belos takes control

a paperback book isnt alive until you break its spine btw like a long slumbering animal being carefully roused it actually needs you to do that like when you click your knuckles. for your paperback book the breaking of its spine is like the first stretch against your pillow in the morning

Some f1 fans cannot handle being reminded that this is a competitive sport, not daycare. Sometimes people have to do things that will hurt a driver’s feelings, seem unfair, or piss off other competitors when there’s points and millions of dollars on the line. You can still be disappointed and upset without acting like the decision made on objectively sound sporting reasons requires a trip to the hague. If you cannot handle that this sport is not actually hair braiding and gentle parenting when push comes to shove, you might enjoy another hobby better.

MIKE BLOCKED ME ON TWITTER FOR ROASTING HIS DUMBASS RESPONSE TO THE GRAPHIC NOVEL STUFF!!

grown ass man scared of the 19-year-old queer being mean to him over his public meltdown more at 8.

...

happy one year to her and one of my better opening lines for a fic <3

now, because i'm curious:

was walking down the street today and someone wanted to collect donations for something and they addressed me with a “hi girl!” and i wanted to crawl into a hole and die :-(

cat behavior

HOLD ON YOU CAN'T JUST SAY THAT NANA 1... WHAT DO YOU MEAN

i cant get over how absolutely insane satosugu is...gege was born to write yaoi forced to write shounen

one thing i just do not fucking get is the difference between "regulating emotions" and "suppressing emotions" i cannot get my head around how those are different. like if im sad and then i go "well im not going to be sad anymore" that's "dissociating" and "suppressing healthy emotions" but if im sad and im like "well im going to cry until i actually pass out" that's "not healthy" and it's BAD to suppress emotions but it's ALSO BAD to get super upset so WHAT IS THE SECRET THIRD THING cuz i do not fucking get it. "feel your feelings But not that way that's not healthy feel your feelings but less than that" ???????

i need something niceys im having such a bummer time rn

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion

I made some notes in a post earlier about how I thought Mankar Cameron deliberately let him and his kids be killed for the hero of kvatch to take the amulet. Now I'm very sure of it but also not because that would imply Bethesda were intentionally telling a thoroughly plotted out saga. Still, if The Elder Scrolls were a thoroughly plotted out saga it would make sense on a grandeur scale of things that Mankar deliberately set himself up to be caught and the amulet reclaimed if the plan wasn't actually for Dagon to take over Tamriel.

I just installed Skyrim on my Steam Deck and I installed Morrowind on my laptop and I have 500 other things I should and rather be doing but they're not happening rn.

EDIT: I keep coming back to the story telling and environmental design and social interactions of Oblivion and how it's not a well thought out and researched story but it's an odd way of interacting with a world that is a bare bones fantasy reflection of the u.s. in 2006 from the perspectives of people who didn't seem like they interacted with people that much. I just started up Skyrim again a few hours ago and it feels the same way but later as these same people get more exposed to life being chronically online.

I'm aware this doesn't sound like cohesive thoughts but my brain is fatigued but won't stop rotating oblivion inside it so I'm writing it down for now.

so mad at the thing in my brain that makes me freak out whenever there is something gorey or honestly just medically gross like. do you know how many games, movies, and TV shows are entirely inaccessible to me because of this? how many i've had to stop watching because they went a bit too hard in the gore/body horror department? how much money i spent on games i'll never play again? (regretfully looks at resident evil 7 and 8 in my steam library. at least 7 was on sale)

Gravity falls has wrecked me emotionally I am not okay

Actually i just realized how effective was even the whole "whipping memory whole" thing for Harry if he still has fucking PTSD from the war? Like sure he'd have told his whole life and shit but to have such a strong reaction like that one review implies he had would require him actually remembering more than he should.
