#its realistic

I never paid attention to the character design of Loli's parents, but with the revelation that Professor luo is okay with such a big age gap (that he encoruages ghostblade to go after nuonuo in a romantic sense), relationships made me remember just how young loli's mother looked like and dang I feel sick.

That is to say, it's pretty realistic because there are men like that out there, but dang.

I like that Mike Walters is a fuck up who's traumatized and full of bad decisions because I'm also a fuck up who's traumatized and full of bad decisions.

But the thing is, WOE.BEGONE doesn't end with Mike Walters finding the love of his life, making friends and living happily ever after like he always wants to. Because it doesn't end and his life keeps going on and keeps getting worse or getting new problems to tend to and that's just realistic.

There's no neat little bow to wrap everything up and dismiss it as "you can find your way out of any problem if you just fall in love with a cute twink and become a cowboy 👍"

He has love, he has friends, he has guidance and things still keep going wrong because that's life. There's no pretty narrative to sugarcoat it. You can have everything you could possibly want and life will still find ways to fuck you up.

Edgar is a reason for him to keep fighting (as well as his cowardice, his unwillingness to die, his fear of being alone, of getting hurt) but it isn't a cure all to all of his problems.

I like podcasts like TMA and TPP, but not all of us are going to find the love of our lives, prevail through tragedy and then die in each others arms, or fight the Big Boss Fight and then run away together or get married, settle down and live the rest of ourr lives free from horror and pain.

it's a satisfying ending to a story, but it's not a reflection of what's realistic. And of course WOE.BEGONE isn't always 100% realistic as well but it's good reprensentation of how One Big Event won't fix your life or your happiness.

For some people, it's always going to be a neverending struggle. And there might be moments of peace and moments of rest after a correction or a tragedy, but it won't last forever because whether you're an ordinary guy or a time traveler, life always finds a way to get back to you. In some form or another.

And not everyone can handle that some people just want a nice little story wrapped in a pretty bow and a "it's okay, they're happy forever now." But I don't think WOE.BEGONE is that kind of story. And I'm glad it isn't.

I've been reading a fantasy thing, and I am shocked, shocked I tell you, ay the amount of references to horses farting

I mean, horses are absolute gas machines, but I'm not entirely sure why it would be in a fantasy story....

Finally the college experience I’ve been waiting for, The Thundermen doing drugs out in the woods

so i put Ma’scha’s height (4′9″) in with my hc height for Farkas (6′6″) and it’s delightful.

i then decided to scale Ma’scha down more, and scale Farkas up, to more accurately depict this

...perfect
