What you will see if you go to Chongqing in Southwestern China

At this point, I am really starting to think that China gathered every person who wanted to be videogame graphics artist but their parents insisted they go into architecture in one place and told them to design a city, and that is how Chongqing was made.

look, I know there's no way to convince people not to try to send this copy in when they order a pepperoni pizza from their local pizza place. I know that. I just want to point out a few things, just speaking as someone who used to work in pizza. (this is in delco- delivery/carryout- the rules are different for sit down restaurant and brick oven type places, but most pizza people get is gonna be from a delco with a conveyor belt oven)

one: you notice how it's on the bleeding edge between burnt and well done? that's because that's basically the only way to get a pizza with this much pepperoni to be remotely edible. this pizza cook worked very hard to make this work, pepperoni is really difficult to use a lot of on a pizza because it interferes with the cooking. it's fatty, and fat is insulating, which means it makes it harder to cook the dough. it's not just about being stingy (though I'm sure that corporate pizza has reduced the number of slices on pepperoni pizzas to save money for sure), there really is an ideal ratio of pepperoni to crust to sauce to cheese, and you don't have to exceed it by a lot to fuck a pizza up. (this is true of most ingredients, tbh, pizza is at all times mere inches from becoming a casserole, and adding extra ingredients in excessive amounts is a good way to get to casserole, particularly if they are wet ingredients, like onions or green peppers)

two: this picture was taken for the internet, so the person probably cleaned up the pizza before they took the picture. if they cut it in a box, they moved it to a fresh box. they cleaned up extra grease, soaked it up with paper towels or napkins. your pizza is almost certainly not going to look nearly this good.

three: people who work in pizza also have access to the internet. I cannot tell you how many none pizza with left beef orders I have canceled on sight. there's a reasonable chance someone will look at this copy and go 'oh it's the meme pizza' and cancel your order immediately and without hesitation.

'oh, but this is more edible than none pizza with left beef' no, it LOOKS more edible in this particular photo because the pizza cook was feeling bored and indulgent and was willing to baby this pepperoni monstrosity and made it look nice. your crime slices are much more likely to end up floating on a sea of pepperoni grease and, if you're very unlucky, the dough in the center will still be somewhat raw. the reason that the pizza chef is proud of this is that it is difficult to do. none pizza with left beef was at least cooked.

"it would be so good if it was good" will haunt you but "it's extremely good, except for the one or two parts which are so bad it's genuinely kind of insulting" will straight up drive you insane

one has you making posts like "okay but if the author UNDERSTOOD the POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS of the story they were telling, and leaned into it, it would actually be a really interesting exploration of..."

the other has you pacing your bedroom at one in the morning going "why. why would you ever in a million years do it like that. genuinely what possible thought process was involved. was the writer possessed by a fucking ghost or something."

sometimes i see posts that are deeply unempathetic towards eva stratt and the situation she found herself in, acting like she didnt exhaust all of the alternatives to save the earth and acting like sending grace to his death was something she did almost gleefully. people really like to forget that grace was maybe the closest thing she had to a friend during the entirety of the petrova taskforce. she was stuck between a rock and a hard place, carrying the weight of the entire world on her shoulders, and people conveniently forget that she was there for the sole purpose of being the point of blame after she did everything she could to save the world. oh my god you guys she was willing to be hated by the entire world to give it a shot of living past thirty years.

when you flatten eva stratt like that you become one of the faceless many that spit on her name because she was brave enough to shoulder the blame of all of the things it took to keep the planet from extinction. you are the stereotype. good lord
