#nonsensical rant

as if the state of every other character's arc and every plot point isn't already in abysmal shape, ignored, or underdeveloped.

it's putting off examining why mohan is leaving and shielding the writers/producers from confronting the oddity that is.

girl what are they going to do in 80 minutes? what they proved themselves incapable of in the last 13 episodes? considering most of that time will be to progress robby's story, for which they've already sidelined and dropped the rich tensions and plots of other characters like langdon, santos, and mel, and the existing proof of mohan's little screentime, they are not going to give her a satisfying ending in so little time.

to add, if we're using supriya (and even shawn and some writers) being excited and curious about mohan's future and relationships, they wrote this season not yet having considered the intention of mohan leaving. i've seen others say some who have already watched the finale in advance say the way it ends doesn't support a plot of her leaving. i my mind, any other meaningful scenes that might have supported her staying were cut out (idc where there's smoke there's fire. looking at the context, past accusations, interviews saying things have been cut out, they're lessening her screentime to lessen her presence so the audience won't blink when she's gone as well as to save face and justify her leaving in whatever half-baked line ogilve will probably spit out to explain her departure.).

i have a bad feeling supriya was blindsided. i feel like she talked about how this was samira's big season (at least in terms of what she goes through) and how ep 13 was somewhat emblematic of that but it all felt and fell flat with the absence of probable cut scenes and way too much focus on the wrong things (another conversation to be had about the writers/producers not knowing what exactly drew people to the show). this, the timing of the news release, the contrasting evidence of her excitement, has just left a bad taste in my mouth.

sorry if this makes no sense ive been thinking about this for month i just had no way to articlate it XP

I went on there two years ago and the equestrian center forums were dead except for people offering to buy/sell horses. It was all game related stuff. Nobody's presentations looked cool anymore, there weren't stamps and colors everywhere... wtf happened? Nobody seems to be interested in fandom there.

There's nowhere on the Internet that has the same joy and freedom that places like Howrse and the old Myspace did. Even things that try, like Spacehey, inevitably get overrun with Tiktok kids. Seriously, I can count on my fingers the amount of people I've seen there (of the ones who had ages listed) who are old enough to actually have witnessed Myspace's heyday.

The evasion and the ult buttons are normal attacking buttons. Ok! Who needs evasions when you have 90% i-frames. Who cares about seeing when your ult is ready. We got flashy animations, the camera focusing on us. We fight by touch and show off for the audience 😎

Story chapter 40 forces you to use Phoenix/Hawk of the Fog/Night Squire still. Can't make an interactive story without the old combat style, huh? Outside of short fights in a tight walled area it's a walking simulator. Kind of resembles the Siberia chapter now that I think about it. Except slower.

The tutorial for the main trio team made me feel like I'm having a stroke so there's that at least.

Pesterquest is smacking everyone's ass.

Hiveswap was birthed out of WhatPumpkin's metaphorical vagina.

Friendsim is Hiveswap's drunk cousin.

And Homestuck^2 is Dirk's opinion of what you've liked since 2009.

Homestuck came back like a fucking zit.

New fans are starting to exist again and as a new fan I am high on Homestuck.

It's been 10 years, man, Homestuck is double digits and it's returned like that zit you thought went away just because you popped it.

Okay. Sure. I understand how a straight man and a straight woman might have a hard time being very close friends because of romantic tension... but the whole discussion was generalized to men and women. Sexuality wasn’t even brought into the question, even though I think it’s a big factor.

When we think of groups of women friends and group of men friends, we think of straight men and women. Because in a group of straight women or a group or straight men, nobody has the capability to be attracted to somebody in the group. So if these types of groups are the only ones we can look at as genuine friendships with no romantic tension, then that means gay men and gay women need to start pairing up into friendships because it is literally impossible for gay people to be in a group of friends with no possibilities of romantic attraction. The only possibility for gay people to mimick straight girl groups and straight guy groups, is to have two gay people—a man and a woman—be friends. That’s all.

And let me tell you, I’ve been in groups of friends with all different sexualities, both male and female. No problems were had. So the idea that (straight) men and (straight) women can’t be friends at all will forever confuse me.

Onto the whole thing that they went into on the show about how one’s close friends should be their same sex. Their reasoning was once again, very straight centric. A straight woman and straight man cannot be close friends because romantic tension may arise.

Again I ask, what about gay people? A gay woman and gay man won’t have that problem, since they aren’t capable of being attracted to one another. Meanwhile two gay men might have the same problem a straight man and straight woman would have.

Another thing they brought up was how when you have a partner, you tend to want friendships of your same sex because you get a lot of companionship from the opposite sex because of your partner.

Again... What. About. The gays.

With the logic of “you will crave the companionship of those of the opposite sex to your partner”, the whole “men and women can’t be friends” argument is completely brought to the ground. By this logic, a woman married to another woman will want male friends. A man married to another man will want female friends.

But you said men and women can’t be friends. So should these people just go their whole lives never letting the opposite sex into their circle with the exception of family?

And don’t even get me started on the subject of bi people. Because if we’re going by the basic logic that people can’t be friends with people they can potentially feel attracted to, bi people just can’t have any friends.

season three has got me absolutely despising the love square??? like Marinette is awkward and I cringe so hard I basically turn inside out when she interacts with Adrien- she can't be herself around him, and y'all everything the show throws at her she just sort of reacts by shoving her feelings deep down to accommodate others and maintain balance,,but yet everyone only focuses on Adrien's sadness and his arc? don't get me wrong, I love my boy but,,, Mari is overworked, she's constantly saving everyone and she has to keep it all bottled up!!

Mari is so stressed and mistreated- even Alya chooses Lila over her!! So all of this, plus all of the miraculous stuff just sort of got to her, and I'm not surprised that she finally broke down from stress and emotional turmoil

Narrator: There are many kinds of cults, including religious, political [...] and Satanic.

Me: Well, depending on the Satanist, it's either worship of Satan or, more commonly, the vehement rejection of God and/or the message(s) of the church that society as a whole has adopted as the Rule.... So, for the sake of simplicity, Satanism could be categorized as either a religion or a counter-religion, both of which would fall under the topic of "Religious Cult", rendering its separate mention redundant and obviously serving to perpetuate the indiscriminate vilification of all Satanists without exception.

Me: ....
