I Know This Doesnt Reqlly Matter But, I Just Had My Final Musical Theater Showcase Of The Year Today!

True love 💕

GUH

I HATE IT. I HATE IT SO MUCH. IT COULD BE SO GOOD BUT ITS LEANING TOO FAR INTO STEREOTYPES AND TRYING TOO HARD TO MAKE THE CHARACTERS “ZANEY” AND “ADULT” WITH NOTICEABLY FORCED MOMENTS, BUT IT COULD BE SO GOOD. IT COULD BE SUCH A GENUINELY WONDERFUL DEPICTION OF POLYAMORY AND FINDING WAYS TO NOT LET YOUR TRAUMA HOLD YOU BACK EVEN WHEN IT TRIES TO COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU, OF THE ABUSE AND HOMOPHOBIA QUEER PEOPLE OFTENTIMES FACE FIRST IN THEIR OWN HOME. ITS TRYING TOO HARD TO BE THE ADULT VERSION OF THE 12+ SHOW ITS EMULATING, AND I CAN UNDERSTAND WHERE THE WANT FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT COMES FROM CONSIDERING I MYSELF NOTICE HOW IT FEELS LIKE THE ORIGINAL GOT MORE AND MORE BABY SENSORY BRAIN-ROT AS WE ALL GREW YP AND MATURED, LIKE IT WAS GOING BACKWARD WHILE WE ALL MOVED FORWARDS, PROGRESSING IN REVERSE AND ALL THAT, BUT ITS LEANING TOO FAR INTO IT. ITS CRAPPY AND CRINGY AND NOT IN THE CRONGE BUT FREE WAY BUT ALSO YES IN THE CRINGE BUT FREE WAY AS IN IT COULD BE CRINGE BUT FREE AND GOOD BUT IT ISNT BECAUSE OF HOW HARD THEIR PUSHING, AND HOLY SHIT IS THIS HOW SHEN YUAN FELT ABOUT PIDW CAUSE DAMN AM I ABOUT TO FUCKING RIOT.

SCORPIO IS LEANING WAY TOO HARD INTO THE SOFT BUT FIRM VOCAL TONES TROPE, LIKE THE WOLF THAT FEARS THE EFFECTS OF ITS OWN BITE AND THUS PULLS ITS TEETH, AND THAT COULD BE WONDERFUL IF THEY WERENT SO SET ON IT BEING BLACK AND WHITE, THEY CONSTANTLY EITHER MAKE HIM COMEDIC BUT SILENT OR TRAUMATIZED BUT SILENT, AND THE SWITCH UPS ARE VERY JARRING- PLUS HIS MOMS VOCAL INFLECTIONS, DESIGN, AND GENERAL BEHAVIOR MAKE HER FEEL LESS LIKE THE MANIPULATIVE NARCISSISTIC ANTAGONIST SHE SHOULD BE AND MORE LIKE A VILLAIN ONLY PUT IN TO EITHER BE THE EVIL VERSION OF HER COUNTERPART IN THE ORIGINAL SHOW OR A PRETTY OLDER LATINA LADY TO DRAW IN VIEWS.

SCORPIOS BEST FRIEND WHOS NAME I CANNOT CURRENTLY REMEMBER WHO IS POSSIBLY THE SECOND ML IS VERY SWEET BUT THEY LEAN TOO FAR INTO MAKING HIM THE DUMBASS WHO ONLY THINKS ABOUT FOOD, WHICH COULD BE GOOD IF HE AT LEAST HAD SOME LEVEL OF EMOTIONAL OR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS, BUT BOTH HE AND SCORPIO ARE INCREDIBLY PUSHY, CONSTANTLY BREAKING THEIR WAY THROUGH OTHERS BOUNDARIES AND PUSHING INTO THE FIRST ML’S SPACE. 1ST ML CLEARLY STATES A MULTITUDE OF TIMES THAT HES CREEPED OUT, UNCOMFORTABLE, AND THAT HE WANTS THEM TO LEAVE HIM ALONE, AND THEY NEVER DO. THE WORST PART IS, THIS WORKS FOR THEM. 1ST ML IS THE CLASSIC TSUNDERE CHARACTER-TYPE AND HE APPARENTLY SECRETLY LIKES THEM PUSHING PAST HIS BOUNDARIES WITH ZERO REGARD FOR THE WORDS HE SAYS TO THEM WHICH IS AN INACCURATE DEPICTION OF ACTUAL SOCIAL SITUATIONS AND WILL, WETHER INTENDED TO OR NOT, TEACH YOUNGER VIEWERS (FINDING IT BY ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO APHMAU VIDEOS) THE ABSOLUTE WRONGEST INTERPRETATION OF CONSENT, THIS WILL TEACH KIDS THAT PEOPLE WILL LIKE IT IF YOU NEVER STOP PUSHING PAST THEIR BOUNDARIES.

ITS FUCKED. ITS ALL FUCKED. AND THE PACING IS SO RUSHED TOO, SECOND EPISODE AND THEIR ATILL FRESHLY MET NEIGHBORS ON THE SECOND DAY OF INTERACTING AND 1ST ML IS ‘SUBCONSCIOUSLY’ THROWING AROUND WORDS LIKE LOVE AND LIKE (romantic sense of like). ITS HORRIFIC. IM NOT ASKING FOR A SLOWBURN BUT DAMN GIRLIE IT AINT A SPEED ROUND YOU CAN SETTLE INTO IT GENTLY CANT YA? ITS SO INCREDIBLY UNHEALTHY THE WAY THEY ALL THREE IMMEDIATELY ATTACH THEMSELVES TO EACHOTHER, AND THE PLOT IS BERY CLEARLY TRYING TO PUSH 2ND ML INTO THE ROMANCE ITS DEVELOPING BUT IT STARTED TOO FAR INTO THE STRICTLY SUPPORTIVE BESTIE FOR IT TO NOT FEEL EVEN MORE UNNATURAL.

IF THEY WOULD JUST SLOW DOWN THE PACING TO SOMETHING GENTLER AND TINE DOWN THE ATTEMPTS TO MAKE THEIR CHARACTERS CONSTANTLY EITHER ZANEY AND RELATABLE OR ADULT AND SHIT THEN IT WOULD BE SO GOOD- THEY JUST NEED TO ACTUALLY FLESH OUT THEIR CHARACTERS AND THEIR FUCKING **DIALOGUE** ISTG ITS SO STILTED THE DIALAUGE MAKES ME WANNA CRY SOMETIMES BUT THEN OTHER TIMES ITS SUPER FUNNY AND THAT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY EVEN MORE BECAUSE IT WOULD BE SO GOOD IF ANYONE ACTUALLY BETA READ THIS HORRIFIC WATTPAD FANFIC OF A YOUTUBE SERIES.

The Analog/Digital Horror Recommendation Post

A lovely follower of mine asked for recommendations on Analog Horror series to watch since I mentioned I'm a big fan of the genre. I figured it would be best to just make a big post about it all!

This post will be split up into three sections: 1) Direct links to Analog/Digital Horror series with series that I have actually engaged in being in red bold 2) Links to analog horror commentary Youtube channels that do a great job of breaking down and explaining series because they can get kinda confusing 3) Some particular series breakdown videos I highly recommend.

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
