The House of Lamentation is making me genuinely mad.
What the fuck is the architectural design.
What goes where.
What's up with the stairs and the balconies and the windows.
What.
Just what.
The graveyard on the front I can accept, but the double indoor balcony in the main entrance is fucking insane. The stairs are there just to go to the first balcony, and the second balcony (which goes to the second floor) has all the lights turned off.
Why see, right? Why see when we can just guess our way around the house?
Y'all know damn well that lower balcony leads nowhere. The ceiling in the living room is too high; the second floor starts on the second balcony.
The stairs are there to look at the portraits and to admire the dragons from behind.
Also. A sofa at the entrance and then the next one is ALL THE WAY BACK.
Saw a YT comment saying that Will's canon event will be getting rejected by Mike because the man is straight and is going to marry Eleven.
And what an insane thing to say, because imagine having Will get tortured by an interdimensional monster through 4 seasons, and then getting powers mid final season through accepting himself as gay, only to get rejected in the finale by his longtime crush (and part of the reason he came so far).
Not only would it change the "this is for the outcasts" vibes of the entire show, but also what shitty storytelling.
And I believe the ga truly thinks that Netflix wouldn't risk their best show having the main straight couple break up to "please the lgbt viewers" (so believing that big companies and their big projects belong to them), but even if that was the case, the show is already ending and everyone is going to watch.
The profit is made.
"If Byler is endgame then I'm not watching 😤😤"
The Duffer's and the cast are drying their tears with all the money they've made with your constant nostalgia rewatches, my guy.
If he was an actual childhood best friend he would've got punched in the dick A WHILE ago.
What is MC doing? What is she waiting for? The wounds are fresh, she has to be angry with him. There's no way he faked ✨his death✨ and she didn't clock him to the floor on sight??
It's gotten to a point where I physically cringe at some of the things she does/says. And tell me why am I sighing and facepalming to my phone each time she does anything.
Or every time she does nothing, ofc.
I understand this type of game is more interesting to most consumers if there's a hot guy trailing behind you because he wants to "protect you" or whatever the fuck men do these days, but this woman knows how to fight for herself. Why does she become useless whenever there's a dude in the vicinity?
And it feels so humiliating and patronizing sometimes, especially with Sylus and Caleb (who you know I have personal beef with). There are some occasions where they tease the MC and I'm like, what is she going to do, puff her cheeks, cross her arms and pout? Lmao
A quick notice: a blog by the name of @/intenselylucidveil (Daniel) messaged me yesterday out of the blue and I got a weird vibe rather quickly.
He said he wanted to be friends with a writer, yet only followed Tumblr staff, had just one post (a reblog) and liked very few things. It was obvious he had been on Tumblr for very little, possibly less than a day, and didn't know what I write for or what I do here overall.
He asked me if I knew a lot of other writers and I thought that he wanted exposure. Then he said that he was a lonely guy and he needed someone to talk to. Despite me asking several times why he chose a random person on the internet without knowing anything about them first (because this is not that type of website), he didn't answer any of those times. Instead, he deflected each of those questions and tried to be the 'mysterious nonchalant' type of guy, answering my questions with questions of his own and changing the subject when I insisted.
However, he was very quick to ask me for my phone number, my name, my age, whether or not I lived alone and if I was single.
I do not tell you this for you to go after him in any way.
I'm the kind of person who likes to think the best of people and gives a lot of second, third and even fourth chances, but this was really creeping me out.
If what he says is true, then he doesn't want to make friends; he wants to stop being lonely. Those things are different. If he talks to you, be aware of that.
I told him exactly that and what do you think he answered? Of course, with a question of his own. I wished him luck and blocked him after that.
I won't jump into conclusions, even if I could, but I do feel the need to, at least, warn you about this. He is asking for private information very directly and I don't like it one bit.
Edit: I forgot to say he specifically said he liked talking to girls and that he liked the age difference between us (I'm older)
You can say a lot (a lot) of things about MLB, the writing and the decisions the creators made towards some character developments (Chloé), but if there's something I absolutely love about their choices is how they show friendship.
A/N: keep reading because it's a bit long
I don't know how the rest of you see the concept of 'friendship' shared by young people nowadays (I said, like a grandma), but I found that they make a lot of drama out of many things that shouldn't be important, and that can actually be normal depending on their age. This comes from the fact that children are maturing faster in this modern era and are trying to act more adult to "fit in" (they shouldn't, but they do), critizing every mistake they do and being unforgiving towards each other.
Don't get me wrong. It's incredible to have your own morals, but you shouldn't be send to the guillotine by the tender age of 13 if you're friends with someone that trashes another friend (for example). You're 13, you're stupid. Making mistakes and learning from them is the reason why people grow out of their bad habits. You're literally learning to live while your brain is still developing, give yourself a chance.
In the show, which is literally about a bunch of teenagers hanging around with each other IN AND OUT OF COSTUME, friendship has both the good and the bad side.
At least half of the akumatizations in the show are caused by someone being a bad friend and the akuma is either directed towards the bad friend themselves or the victim of their bad decisions.
And you have two sides of the show: the lore and the plot, where the akumas have a reason to exist and rules to go by; and the lesson to learn as a viewer (mainly children, but you know damn well half of the demographic are yound adults): don't lie, don't steal, don't be rude, don't take advantage of someone else... Those type of things.
Someone does something bad, someone gets punished (akumatized) and then they get better.
And being akumatized isn't an excuse to be automatically forgiven. No, no, no. Whoever did the bad thing (mostly) apologizes to the one(s) they hurt.
And this big group of friends in the show? They listen, they talk, they forgive. They don't coddle and they don't excuse, but they understand.
The show teaches the power of empathy, forgiveness and growing with your loved ones through mistakes. And I think that's pretty cool.
I've met people over the years who've given me the ick, but absolutely never in my life have I ever immediately seen someone as a red flag without any apparent reason.
I met this man during a test revision and we started talking about our professors, but then the conversation changed to our hobbies and our plans for the future regarding our careers. He offered to study together at the library, going out to have a drink and even joining a gym to take advantage of the couple's discount. We even went to the supermarket to grab a soda or whatever.
It got to the point where he sent me old tests from those teachers we complained about so I could have study reference (without me asking first).
Nothing necessarily bad, right? Even good.
But what if I told you that I met this man two days ago? What if I told you that he's 8 years older than me?
Am I being paranoid? He hasn't done nothing bad or creepy, but I can't help but feel distrustful.
