puzzle number 118 "garbage disposal" from professor layton and the diabolical fucking box made me genuinely sick with rage. i'm fucking scarred for life from this thing. every time i see one of these evil fucking block sliding puzzles now i flinch in fear and repulsion. 1000+ moves later and blinded with tears of fury and the worst part is, i can't even say i won in the end because i caved in and looked the solution up. HOW THE FUCK are you meant to figure out that sequence of moves on your own. fuck you fuck you FUCK you what the fuck. this game is rated for 10 year olds by the way. please dear god tell me it's not just me
Do me a favour and reblog this with a show you like that was cancelled after only one season. I don't mean shows that were always meant to be miniseries or shows that work perfectly well as a standalone story, or shows that might still get renewed. I mean shows that are and will forever remain unfinished. The more obscure the better.
Quite frankly yall need to be projecting more on the doms. Make the DOM have guilty sexual fantasies !!! Maybe the DOM is shamefully staring at the ceiling after waking up from a dream!!! Yall are cowards. Do none of you have any appreciation for the noble dom identity crisis. Do none of you have any respect for guilty sadists with control issues and who desperately want autonomy for once in their damn lives and who just want to Keep someone, for once, who want to be allowed to Want and Take . Do NONE of yall have any respect for sadists realizing with horror how badly they want to hurt the person they would do anything to protect and take care of and make smile? Cowards, all of you.
Ah Paretta. Never change. This dude starts fights and wins every year that he plays in the charity game. And better yet, he doesn't just pick a random cop that's playing. He specifically spends all year researching which ones have beat their spouses or are being investigated for corruption, then mocks them and eggs them on social media for like 6 months straight just to make sure they know ahead of time they're getting their ass beat.
Dude ive just been saying "youre a doctor here!?" And the likes on repeat ever since i saw hentai voice clips u posted LOL its gonna live forever in my brain.
oh god the effect it's had on my vocabulary is brutal. i am never going to unlearn "that was a fucking hit and run you bitch" it's going to stick with me into the nursing home
Whatever I’m feeling spicy yanno just because TKB blamed Atem for Kul Elna that doesn’t make him fully and uncomplicatedly correct in where he placed his blame and all the actions that followed.
Ok I could write my big essay in the tags but unfortunately for everyone I must scream
General unstructured blabbing about grief, guilt, responsibility, inheritance and forgiveness. Probably not the most thoroughly researched babble because it's been a few years but the relationship between TKB and Atem is like catnip to me so here we go:
The YGO franchise is too concerned with making sure it's lead character continues to be very cool and also a very good role model and that Atem was never wrong ever once that it absolves everything around him, the Puzzle and his father's legacy, all while framing Bakura to be wildly over-reactive and pure evil.
That's like, the crux of it at the end of the day
Atem has to be the good guy unmistakable and irrevocably. The Puzzle isn't the center piece of the 7 part philosopher's stone of human soup that is Bakura's entire village and family, it's AKSHUALLY about unity. Duh?
The EYE is actually the evil one, the others are kinda.. neutral except when they aren't.
And it sucks man. It sucks because canon has no interest in any capacity to actually look at the idea of what Pharaoh and Ruler and Symbol mean for Atem.
It's not interested in looking at grief and obsession and fury and corruption for Bakura.
Bakura is justified in his hatred, in dragging Atem's father and by extension Atem's legacy into the room by a noose while parading around his father's finery like kitschy baubles.
Atem is justified in the blistering rage at seeing such a display and shutting out anything Bakura is trying to tell him
Bakura killed so many in his final act against Atem, that at the end of it all he stands on the same body count that Atem has inherited.
Atem was never aware until the last moment exactly what it was the Puzzle cost, so how exactly could he have made right by Bakura.
Bakura should have tempered himself.
Atem should have understood the weight of his crown.
THAT'S the problem is that they're both wrong.
Tragedy in so far as the actual canon of the manga is that Bakura let his fury consume him till nothing was left and that Atem only learned too late just how justified that anger was and his lack of knowledge got everyone he loved killed.
The real tragedy is that the Source spends so long saying that Atem's lack of knowledge is actually a free pass from his responsibility.
It sucks because I think that a resolution between the two of them would also have underpinned a lot. I don't think there's ever a world in canon where Bakura would ever accept anything from Atem, and I think that leans further into the cautionary tale Bakura is supposed to be.
But because Atem never takes a second after learning the horrors of Kul Elna to reach out, to ask what can be done, to say fucking. sorry. We'll never learn that. We'll never really know. We'll never see Atem accept that the thing around his neck is something of horror and disgust. We'll never see him grapple with the real weight of what's been so thoroughly propped up this entire time which is that the evil that resides in us, can be overcome if we chose to face up against it and DO better.
We see this time and time again in YGO. Seto's father, Jou's father, Otogi's father, we are told time and time again that taking responsibility is not only accepting that you can do better but CLEANING UP that mess.
Jou does right by his sister, being the provider that his dad never could be
Seto does right by the world by killing the war machine his father built
Otogi does right by Yuugi, helping him literally pick up the pieces of the Puzzle off the ground
Atem should have done right by his people, by Bakura by accepting the mess left to him and doing better.
I mean hell the series also goes out of it's way to say it's unfair that these characters have to even do this at all, and I just dont see why that wasn't translated here to Atem.
But I just.. You know I suspect its because we couldn't have nuance to Bakura. We can't actually have Atem and then by extension Yami look bad.
We can't even hint that the Puzzle is just as bad as every other item made from the human goop. Nah it's actually good and always has been and we don't need to look further into that at all and idk it sucks.
It sucks so much
It sucks a series that's so interested in exploring the idea of coming from a violent state (Jou Honda Seto Otogi Mai Malik Yami) and accepting that as not only part of you but that just because you have done something bad it doesn't mean you can't be better, that you can't do better, and that you aren't worth throwing away just because of that- just throws it all away to glaze Yami even more than he already is at this stage in the manga.
TKB did a lot wrong but he should have been given the chance to do something right because he was owed at least that.
and it fucking sucks that the narrative robbed him of that too.
so frustrating to be a skeptic with a sense of whimsy because like. I want there to be cryptids. I want there to be magic. I want there to be evidence of something we don't fully understand and can't explain. but then 99% of the "proof" out there for that stuff is like. the most obvious scam you've ever seen in your life.
i feel like it's absolutely crucial in the social justice world to take "he a little confused but he got the spirit" and similar sentiments/situations as a Win. intent is so much more important than saying it right the first time! if someone is approaching with scuffed language and incorrect terms but they're visibly being as polite as they know how, that person is a friend and should be treated better than what their words might invite in someone else's mouth.
someone who's confused but who's got the spirit has the best thing, which is respect. the other stuff is secondary. I'd take someone who's messing up but doing their best to treat me respectfully any day over someone who's using the right words to do me wrong.
