The World Is Ahead

Welcome to this mess of a personal blog, or well, I suppose this is how a personal blog looks like when it revolves around all these various things; games, movies, tv-shows etc. It all depends on what I'm interested in at the moment. She/Her, 25 years old.

I don't know what drug they put in subtext-queer-baiting-bury-your-gays-queer ships from the last decade but they need to put some of it in the current media

the fact that there is an entire dlc that features shepard’s Evil Clone is funny on its own, but the entire point of the dlc being “SHEPARD IS NOTHING WITHOUT HER FRIENDS” makes it hilarious. a catastrophic identity theft scenario was foiled by the power of friendship. the gang got together and brainstormed like the beacons of comradery they are, and they decided to shoot the problem to death and get drunk afterwards. good game guys, let’s hit the showers

[miss-nerd-alert]

And then they throw in absolutely amazing comedy bits like:

We have to break onto our own ship using a toothbrush

“[S]He messed with my hamster, guys. Now it’s personal.”

Clone Shepard saying the iconic “I should go” to Real Shepard, and Shepard asking the others if they really sound like that

Garrus and Zaeed drunkenly booby trapping the apartment during the party

The player’s love interest teasing them about their near-death-experience with “Did you really fall through a fish tank?”

“That’s why I love hanging out with you guys. Why shoot something once when you can shoot it forty-six more times?”

me: apply pokemon logic

[gluttonousgoddess]

To be fair Pokemon element logic is rooted in normal logic.

my favorite ship dynamic is betrayal. not when they betray each other but when one or both of them turn against their cause, their principles and/or loved ones for the other. bonus points if the person they're abandoning everything for didn't remotely expect it. ultimate declaration of love. "you mean more to me than everything i ever believed in. i am more loyal to you than my conscience. i love you more than the thing i would die for."

back on my bullshit

[quasi-normalcy]

I've reached the point where cynicism is a major turn-off for me. You're not smarter than idealists, and you're not helping.

[quasi-normalcy]

Funny that the stereotypical cynic is an idealist who aged out of it. In my experience, the reverse is true. I was an extreme cynic as a teenager and then I noticed how profoundly limiting it was, and also that "cynics are cool and smart" was a message that was being constantly reinforced by corporate media for some reason.

[quasi-normalcy]

#yes! cynicism reads as very juvenile to me#and yes prev often stemming from teen pain

Yeah, like I see black-pilled people on here and my default reaction isn't "oh, these must be world-weary old warriors who've lost their faith in humanity", it's "these people are in their 20s and need a hobby"

[quasi-normalcy]

I also think that the present era has proven that authoritarian leaders don't actually want a population of wide-eyed idealists, they want a population of jaded assholes who are convinced that everyone is lying, any resistance is either a scam or doomed to failure, and nothing can ever get better.
