Movie idea based on a dream I had: guy crashes his car with his friends inside after a fun night out on the town to bust out of a game-based time loop.
Inside my dream, I was having a fun night out with some people. We got slushes and vodka from a gas station before jumping in a red convertible and booking it on the highway. Laughing, joking, I stood out of my seat for a second to feel the wind in my hair. The guy driving us was swerving all over the road, nearly hitting cars, trees, whatever. I hear an "oh shit!" from the other guy in the passenger seat before we crash into a semi. Suddenly, instead of being in the car, I'm overlooking the accident, like an overhead shot. I hear the driver's voice say "you might be wondering how I got into this mess. Well... I had to kill my friends to win. You wouldn't fault a guy for having fun before, would ya?" Then I woke up and was like "damn, that's crazy."
This has been stuck in my head all day. It's been almost a full day since, and I'm probably misremembering some things, but I have been consuming a lot more books and tv lately, so my imagination is in overdrive (hehe) right now.
I forgot to mention Midnight City by M83 was the accompanying background sound. It was very cinematic, like I would have to compare it to Euphoria season 1.
Maybe I'll get to write about it more someday.
Finally got around to playing halfway through the new TKDB episode tonight. I stopped at the beginning of the Cupid arrow challenge. I haven't been on this site in a while, so I haven't seen any spoilers.
A couple things:
1. I think Ritsu is the rogue because his pant loops and laces on his top are a different design than the others. And coming into MC's room like that under the guise of finding Taiga when the man hasn't really been as much of a problem as usual, seducing her?? SUSPICIOUS. It also took me a minute to understand how he solved that tower challenge so quickly, even with the visuals. it was kinda sweet how he could tell MC's voice apart from her doppelganger.
2. Taiga finally admitted his stigma to MC. I was eating up all the fan theories about it when he was a part of an episode. Glad to say I'm well fed. Clearly his memory issues stem from the use of his stigma... so like the farther out he sees, the equivalent to that is erased from his memory? How often is he using it? He's also constantly hungry, like he eats more than the average person, even Alan I believe who is objectively one of the bulkiest characters. Is it affecting more parts of his brain like dopamine receptors, whatever it is that signals to the stomach to stop consuming when it's full (idk much about the brain - or any part of the human body, sorry), etc? He's so fascinating to me.
3. HAKU IS LEVELING UP THE RIZZ!!! It even got me going "Damn 😳" and I don't blush often. Good thing I'm alone lol. I do constantly forget that magic just exists in this world and he seems to be the only one really in tune with it. Bro should be putting on shows in Dionysia (plz be spelled right🙏). If he can handle Taiga, he can handle Shion.
4. I expected nothing less from Alan. If I was locked in that tower like he was, I would go for the bull before anything else. That says a lot more about me than I want it too ANYWAY it didn't occur to me that his directional issues applied to maps, either. I understand, as a fellow directionally-challenged person myself, getting lost in a new place or a place that hasn't been visited often, but a layout on a piece of paper? I hope that he was at least using a finger to guide him, otherwise he's not beating the himbo allegations. I know he was trying to play it cool, not alarm MC when he was clearly struggling to get his heart rate calm, too. I think it was both of their hearts that triggered the water rising.
5. Elias been dragging my girl around OMG. Getting her shocked, which tbf, he didn't have a layout of the floor plan, I get it, still mad tho. Then taking her with him into that hidden room, no makeshift weapon on their persons at all? A pen, broken chain leg, glass from a mirror, nothing? Nope, they braver than me. Shout-out to New Orleans, though. A destination on my bucket list fr.
6. Sho was so smart to match up his counting with her steps instead, but like, how? I was thinking that he measured the distance of her stride out somehow, so I tried it. I naturally step a foot apart when I'm walking, but I determined that by leaving strips of paper wherever my foot touched down. Was he listening for her heel to touch down first? Starting to speak at the slightest scruff of her shoe making contact with the stone? 🤯
All in all, I'm enjoying this so far. Definitely a different feel from the previous episode. That one was more laid back, the calm before the storm if you will. This one changed tune QUICK. I like the dynamics growing between the characters, how these 6 who we haven't seen really interact much together are learning each others' skills and building trust out of that. I can't wait to see how that trust is tested when I can finally finish.
This is all I really have to say rn. It's not much, could be better, but it's currently 3:35 a.m., my shift's over in like 2 hours, and I'm running on no sleep and three cans of Casey's knock off Starbucks espresso drinks.
I'm open to discussion if I got anything wrong or I didn't explain myself correctly.
On Zenji's Death and Darkwick's Stance on It
The Cursed Temple - Chapter 30
The Forest Of Longing - Chapter 5
These arguments feel rather contradictory aren't they? "Darkwick is still trying to save Zenji" but "if they know his soul is still around, they'd put him to rest"? If Darkwick kept Zenji's body in the hope that they could still revive him, wouldn't knowing his soul still hasn't truly passed to the other side mean it's good news to them? Like, why would they want the ghoul they're trying to revive to die a second time...?
Did Haku lie about Darkwick wanting to have Zenji to be laid to rest (for whatever reason)? Because he一in his attempt to quell Subaru's suspicions of Darkwick一kind of accidentally hinted on Darkwick's plan that they're still trying to revive Zenji.
While we're at it, is it okay for me to say that I doubt Darkwick is completely in the dark about Zenji's existence...? My reasoning is here:
This'll be on my mind all day today

these options are crazy bro
Currently watching Smallville and other shows that I remember getting on the family TV in the early 2000s. I don't know if I'm just spoiled by modern tv standards or I'm misremembering, but the acting is low-key terrible. It's mostly the line delivery, like the actors are reciting their script and not really putting emotion behind it. The sets and camera angles are so obvious, too. The scripts themselves are very pc, very safe.
I'm also currently rewatching Outer Banks in anticipation of season 5 coming out and the difference is jarring. Granted, different times, different production studios. But I can get lost in Outer Banks, like I'm actually part of the Pogues, like I have to be there.
That doesn't happen with Smallville. I know I'm a viewer. I know I can leave at anytime and pick up where I left off.
I don't know where I'm going with this rant. It's just an observation I made. The simpleness of Smallville is great to retreat into when my brain is fried and needs a breather.
6/10 recommend
Just finished Resident Alien on Netflix.
I've never cried so hard at an ending before.
I have to work tonight and all I'll be thinking about is this show.
I recommend it for anyone who likes alien conspiracies, crude humor and philosophy.
SPOILERS FOR TOKYO DEBUNKER'S NEWEST EPISODE
Finally got caught up in TKDB. The newest chapter was a quick read; seemed to be mostly for fleshing out the characters more and their dynamics this time around.
I don't remember seeing any background info on this castle besides the previous investigation into it. Knowing the history could help point to the anomaly or what created it. Since the opening scene hinted at an active site before the production crew got there, I don't think they had anything to do with it. Maybe the company that commissioned this project owns the property? Or it's a front by the anomaly itself. Hell, for all I know, it could be Darkwick affiliated since the tip off was anonymous, like that group last season on that hijacked ship or whatever.
I agree with the census that there is no rogue. Looking through the comments justified my thoughts more. The production crew is small, about 5 to 6, plus the 7 from Darkwick (67 joke??? Is zzg tiktok brain rotted?? Jk), so it'd be easy for a lot more mess ups to happen besides the MC's missing card and shooting the wrong introduction. What really cemented the idea for me was when MC revealed her card to Sho and Ritsu and it turned out to be blank. Why hide MC's own title from her? Makes sense for the ghouls, but my girlypop? If they succeed all the trials and MC picks whoever, what's to stop the GM from claiming that pick as the rogue and granting the bad ending anyway? That's what I'd do at least.
I did love how the GM was slowly getting annoyed with all the ghouls' questions/demands. Gotta map out the metrics, though, so I applaud them.
Hopefully my short rambling makes sense. I'm typing this at work rn on the fourth of my 7-day long stretch while running on three hrs of sleep and a pot of watered down coffee with a shit ton of sugars and cream.

Is Ikemen Villians a good game? I keep seeing posts about it on my feed and I'm kind of interested. Don't know if I want to put my energy into it, though.
The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country.
Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.
There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.
- John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

My house is a cage that I can't wait to lock myself in😁
For those who have missed it, a tourist in Hawaii decided it would be fun to chuck a rock (a BIG rock) at a monk seal. He missed, but he was captured on video, and when told it was illegal to interfere with them, said "I'm rich, I can pay the fine."
Is the best part that he got doxxed? No.
Is the best part that he got tracked down by a local and beaten? No.
Arrested on state at federal charges, looking at up to 5 years and 50K? Nope.
The best part is the local city council's reaction.
And the best part of that is the look on the attorney's face.

Dreams are weird.
One minute I'm having a nice picnic by myself in an isolated field, the next I'm debating the ethics of horseracing with Kieran Culkin over a game of chess.
I don't know anything about horseracing.
I also suck at chess.
