[trail cloak]

5/9/2026 is the 9th of May or the 5th of september?

[tight dove]

In NY that would be 9th of May probably

Check the day after tho just in case

[trail cloak]

Right

Thank youuu

The MM/DD/YY is really confusing

Here if we say IDK, May 13th is 13/5/2026

[wet quest]

In the states we do MM/DD because we say, "November 1st" instead of "the 1st of November"

[novel bear]

YYYY-MM-DD supremacy

[paper hull]

Yeah there are plenty.

[lucid haven]

Thing is that's not even a consistent convention in the usa to say may 13th

[trail cloak]

May the 13th right?

[trail cloak]

Yes

[winged mountain]

you say that but I'm not sure I've heard it any other way here

maybe people in other states or something idk

[tight dove]

I mean

Fourth of july

[trail cloak]

In most of latinoamérica we say 13 de Mayo

[midnight compass]

It's pretty consistently written MM/DD/YYYY even if we sometimes speak it differently

[midnight compass]

Like with that

[winged mountain]

when I say 'here' I mean in the states, or northeast US in particular

and yeah I'm not really talking about holidays, like we'll say 'cinco de mayo' when referring to that particular day even if we'd never ordinarily say any word of that

we'd never say fifth of july, for example

and if you're just talking about the day on the calendar without any significance to the holiday, you'd always say july 4th

[cobalt onyx]

It's definitely reasonable in my mind to flip between say, April 6th and the 6th of April

[novel bear]

It's a phrase that exists enough that there's nothing confusing about it

Like if I heard it I wouldn't blink

Yet I don't think I'd ever default to it

[winged mountain]

yeah, I wouldn't say it's 'unreasonable' just unusual in this specific part of the world

[ripe stag]

I mean, I use both but only one format of dates, so I don't think the correlation is in the direction it's being made out to be.

[cobalt onyx]

It depends on subconscious formality and emphasis

[winged mountain]

it's one of those things where if you do it the other way, it's a clue that person might have grown up somewhere else in the world

[cobalt onyx]

In my mind Nth of Y is more "proper" than Y Nth

[lucid haven]

Just like "farenheight is good for humans" these arguments dont actually stand up to anything besides "its my culture and im used to it so its better"

[winged mountain]

neither system is better, you can argue 'logic' until you're blue in the face but it's just one of those things that make us different

[turbid laurel]

Anyone who doesn’t use ISO-8601 is wrong and should change

[merry heath]

If only it was inverted

[dusky flint]

which is stupid

[turbid laurel]

Why would you invert it?

[dusky flint]

D/M/Y is the best

[turbid laurel]

But then sorting alphabetically messes up the order

[wet quest]

Sorting alphabetically already messes up the order if you don't include leading 0s or list the months by name instead of number

For sorting/file naming purposes I always do YYYY-MM-DD

[turbid laurel]

That’s part of ISO 8601!

[wet quest]

I would argue that it's not stupid since it gets the information across and it's the way a lot of people speak, that's just how language works

[dusky flint]

yeah ISO 8601 is better for computers but for humans D/M/Y is better

[wet quest]

Idk, to me it feels like the people who champion dvorak keyboards. Sure I can get the idea behind the change in the design, but it's not really "better" for the US on the grounds that everyone in the US does MM/DD/YYYY

[tight dove]

Something something Maxim Of Manner

[wet quest]

Like, I think it would be better if we had 13 months with 28 days and a single new year's day, but if I was put in charge of calendars tomorrow I'm not changing it

[dusky flint]

we should have 10 months anyway

[wet quest]

They'd have to be different lengths if we had 10 months

[dusky flint]

yeah

[trail cloak]

Coke

[amber jay]

If the US doesn't want to adopt ISO 8601 there's always its own ANSI INCITS 30-1997 (R2008)

[spring barn]

I prefer DD/MM/YYYY but YYYY/MM/DD is totally valid too but yeah there's no way I'm finding MM/DD/YYYY optimal

[lucid haven]

Like i said earlier MM/DD/YYYY is only viewed as optimal if you are born in the usa and dont want to change the way you do your dates. Its super easy to change how you speak and the arguement of "its how we say it" dosent hold water because there are too many counter examples

It comes down to "its my culture so its best"

[tight dove]

I dont think anyone has said its better than dd/mm/yyyy
Just that its what everyone here uses and its better to be understood than optimal

[oak ivy]

Optimizing dates is such a marginal improvement to life doing 3 push ups probably has higher net impact

[lucid haven]

How is it easier to understand

[tight dove]

Because its what everyone uses

[novel bear]

it's easier to understand when it's the default in your culture and using a different one is just going to lead to misunderstandings

[oak ivy]

MM/DD/YYYY does have the advantage that the smaller number range comes first

But none of this matters lmao

[novel bear]

also in a practical sense 90% of the time it's that people just use MM/DD

and then when year is important they add year onto the end (because it's usually not so important that you need to put it at the front)

that creates an awkward order when you're using years, obviously that's a good argument for DD/MM/YYYY over MM/DD/YYYY

but when it comes to the difference between MM/DD and DD/MM it's arbitrary in most contexts (with DD/MM still having the advantage that it's easier to add years onto it)

The clear solution is that we all just need to switch to the Julian Day convention.

'Call of Duty' movie director Peter Berg once said people who play war video games are 'pathetic' and 'weak' 🪖

"Pathetic. Keyboard courage. Can't stand it"

"Anyone that sits around playing video games for hours... It's weak. Get out, do something"

(via @esquire)

X · Apr 27, 2026, 9:31 PM

Lmao

[wet quest]

Why stop at seconds? Let's just count everything in ticks

[wet quest]

I'm loving the current trend of people adapting FPS games absolutely hating video games as a medium

[winged mountain]

there needs to be some sort of metric form of seconds and time measurement before I can be elitist about what's clearly supereior

[wet quest]

If only there was a metric version of seconds!

[dusky flint]

there is

and it was glorious

[winged mountain]

I wonder if you're gonna do metric time, would you set the base number at the year, or the day?

[midnight compass]

The metric second is also the second

[winged mountain]

metric time meaning strict base-10

[midnight compass]

Ah

[dusky flint]

it was days

[dusky flint]

Apparently the noah hawley quote was taken out of context for clicks

Invincible S4E2 || Has the action in this show in previous seasons always been a bit light on frames? ||

[keen flax]

Invincible 4x2 ||Iddd say so, yeah. Maybe not the first season? I never looked to this show for cool fights, I had anime and Xmen 97 for that 😂||

[muted solar]

Lol yeah I was just surprised I didn’t notice the choppiness before lol

[muted solar]

|| Also and ATLA ||

[small quarry]

i have not seen the new seasons but the animators have been getting less and less time and money, its like 4 people doing it rn or something like that?

animation studio changed after season 1 as well

[muted solar]

Oh dang…. That’s kinda awful

S4E2 || Well that was another solid episode ||

[distant birch]

AFAIK its 4 compositors, not 4 animators

But not great

[muted solar]

I’m looking forward to seeing what’s coming in the rest of this season

‘HE-MAN’ creator Roger Sweet has sadly passed away at the age of 91 following a multi-year battle with dementia.

vxTwitter / fixvx · Apr 29, 2026, 2:13 AM

[verbal lintel]

Yah it’s unfortunate how Amazon is spending money on every episode of Invincible. “The most expensive per episode animated series ever, with $2.5 million minimum per episode” sounds impressive like you’re going to see the most insane animation since 90’s tech animes……… theeeeeeen you see that they are blowing $200,000 (per person) for 6 celebrities to be voice actors for like 10 lines of dialogue and then they are gone

[dusky flint]

thats not the issue

its a time contraint

the issue isnt budget

they had a longer time for season 1 which is why that has so much better animation

[dire moss]

I will say that they are putting the budget and time into the most important scenes this season. So at least they are making do

[trail cloak]

good morning my penguins

Hotd s3 trailer is out

||why is aemond the big bad now 😭 😭 😭 ||

[winged mountain]

I've mostly decided not to watch it, I'm far behind on the series anyway but I'm not really interested in a version of GRRM's story that George hates

I sort of lost interest sometime in season 1 anyway, that's not necessarily the main reason I stopped watching, but it's a motivating factor in not trying again

[lone canyon]

I’ll probably still hate watch it 😭

[oak ivy]

||this is why winds isnt out||

||george too fuming to write||

[lone canyon]

But winds will be out

They’ll announce it after s3 is over

[steep bramble]

I've been watching Jet Lag while I transcribe notes recently, and I've been loving it. Soutout to whoever posts here when there's a new season that really got it to burrow into my mind.

[burnt shale]

It’s so good

[ionic lily]

It’s amazing!

I love all their guests

That reminds me, episode 7 is out!

[acoustic pewter]

I rewatched Ratatouille last night. Great Pixar movie, one of their best. Never noticed their Incredibles reference before. Both movies general ||There's a mime in Ratatouille you see for just a few seconds who's identical in appearance to Bomb Voyage from Incredibles.||

And maybe this is a hot take, but I think my favorite character in that movie is Anton Ego.

[tight dove]

i need to catchup on jlag i have not watched any of this season

[thin ridge]

Ngl I don't think that's a hot take at all
He's a compelling character for me

[acoustic pewter]

Very compelling indeed

[burnt shale]

Was watching rn

[acoustic pewter]

Ratatouille all ||Particularly his shift at the end. He's such a strong antagonistic force for so much of the movie, and you see how his harsh critique of cuisine has left him so gaunt and borderline emaciated, so it's particularly heartwarming to see him at the end looking not just happier, but also fuller, less thin, more color to his face. Like, the ratatouille was a life-changing experience for him for the better, and you can see how much better off he's been since then.||

[ionic lily]

Lots of Snack Zone this season

Love it

[wet quest]

Jetlag ||Episode 6 was almost all snack zone||

[burnt shale]

Questionably

Yeah not thrilled for hotd s3

Jet lag rail rush game design ||the rules for this season seem really good but the outcomes have been so bizarre. How a team with less stations is getting significantly more challenges is very confusing ||

[wet quest]

Same tags ||Yeah, I really don't know as well. You'd think the designers would space the challenges out around the map a bit more, unless this is just the world's worst shuffle. But it does seem like the map is really top-heavy in terms of challenges, which means that whoever controls the north controls the challenges and therefore the coins.||

[ionic lily]

||I think it is randomized with a terrible shuffle||

[wet quest]

Episode 6 ||It's made the last couple episodes a little un-interesting to me since it seems like Ben and Adam are kinda just screwed. Though this could solely be due to the reactions of the players. The two of them do still own more stations, so they are technically winning. I haven't watched episode 7 yet, hopefully the gameplay becomes a little more dynamic as Sam and Mike have to go start claiming more stations||

[ionic lily]

Happens I guess

[burnt shale]

||The big problem is choke points the way the game is designed you establish 2 choke points and both pump as much coins into it as possible the issue is that any asymmetry in challenges gets amplified as one side gets a tone of coins to shrink the opponents zone || jet lag rail rush

[ionic lily]

||I think it would work way better in a country with more of a web||

[steep bramble]

I’ve been doing backlog, not gotten to the new season yet.

I’m a fan of Michelle Khare and both season Ive watched with her have been fun, but Arctic escape really divided my loyalties because I immediately latched onto rooting for Ben and Adam.

[ionic lily]

I always root for Ben and Adam

[ripe stag]

This is the way, because Sam seems a terrible person.

[steep bramble]

I don’t think I would go that far? But I’m far from having watched everything yet.

[steep bramble]

Lol yes. The show in general at least

[velvet oriole]

I talk about it every Wednesday in here, I guess it's finally catching on. 🙂

[steep bramble]

I'll keep an eye out, but that's not what I mean when I mean cancellable. I'm just used to constantly finding out either abuse stuff or political stuff with figure skaters that I get very suspicious

[steep bramble]

Ah so it was you who got me to watch it from just the constant reminders it existed.

[velvet oriole]

Hehe. 😈

[ionic lily]

A week early

[steep bramble]

Ive binged All Stars, Capture the Flag Japan, Escape the Arctic, Shengen Zone (that was the first one), and now Hide and Seek UK

[velvet oriole]

I've watched it all from the beginning I think, besides the.... Crime Spree on that isn't on YouTube.

I think hide and seek switzerland was my favorite.

[wet quest]

I started with the territory game in Australia with Tobey and was hooked

[steep bramble]

I would love if they bring in Rainbolt as a guest for one of these

[ionic lily]

Oh no lmao

I love it

imagine if they brought Brennan on

They already know the dropout people

[tawdry snow]

It's the latest season worth a watch? The past few seasons have felt a bit boring to me

The guys just seem too good at the games now/ the games are just not a great watching experience

[steep bramble]

Yeah well thats why

TO be fair, they'd probably have to pick a game that isn't hide and seek

Because that would be instant death

Something that is fun but doesn't get nuked by his geoguessr abilities

[ionic lily]

How about a mini season of hide and seek, 3v1

[burnt shale]

It’s so flawed as a game tho but the ending

[steep bramble]

I will watch. that next

What do you mean as a flawed game? Strava map is OP, but I'm not really a game theory person and most of the time I've had it on in the background as I transcribe notes

I am very nostalgic for the first book of Narnia

I never thought I'd see the adaptation in the cinema

[tawdry snow]

Please tell me you were born for the 2005 adaptation's release

[hushed moss]

Just starting Arrival.

[fair dirge]

Well, I was alive, but I was a baby

[tawdry snow]

At least you were alive. That's more than some here can say

[fair dirge]

Damn, I feel old

[placid river]

This is also adapting a different book than the 2005 film

This is Magician’s Nephew, not Lion, Witch and Wardrobe

[muted solar]

I recorded on a VCR tape the Narnia preview with the wolves that aired on the Disney channel and then watched it incessantly. Pop that tape into the media center box built into my mom’s Honda Odyssey and throw down the little screen and play that ish on loop

Maybe that makes you feel less old idk

Narnia is one of the biggest reasons for my love of reading

Ive tried to read Narnia as an adult

And it is really hard to read with how much I can see and feel the religion

And its so obvious

As a kid I didnt see any of it

[midnight compass]

Relevant

[cinder token]

read them when I was 10 and vividly remember being so curious as to what Aslan was refering to when he said that he goes by another name in the real world

I just thought it was more Narnia lore 😭

[lucid haven]

SAME!

[verbal lintel]

To tack on the meme, while multiple times Tolkien denies his shell shock of WWI influences Lord of the Rings, for multiple (if not even more) instances he does also just flat out outright explain the world is just a Catholic Christian world wearing a silk-thin blanket Halloween costume of Olde-British-Norse mythology

[distant birch]

Preferably

[dusky flint]

yeah sorry out of luck then

anyway you people like avatar so i have a question, in a different server im in we do watch parties for s bunch of shows and we vote for what shows to watch and one of the shows coming up is legend of korra because no ones watched it but everyones watched avatar except me i havent watched avatar do i have to watch it to understand legend of korra i have time to watch avatar bc its after we finish Son ofthe century and the sopranos i jsit wanna know if its nessecary because it doesnt interest md that much

[celest mango]

I guess it's not strictly necessary but it's highly recommended
Kind of like reading Mistborn Era 2 before Era 1 except the time between the two is only like 70 years instead of 300 so there are even more connections

[distant birch]

I remember watching a bit of Korra when I was younger (ive never watched avatar) and I don't remember having many issues

But like, it was long enough ago that I may have just forgotten that

[distant birch]

Dont have the energy for a movie tonight but i'm gonna put on an episode of succession

Like really great, I hope the sequel is just as good

[spring barn]

I do prefer the sequel

[placid river]

I’ve actually never seen Blade 2. I’ll have to get on that some day

the humor did not land and the plot felt very messy

Update, it was a banger

[red nacelle]

Invincible S4E4 || Watched this last week. There was some interesting worldbuilding but it was such a yapfest and nothing burger. But the helmet bit was pretty funny||

[trail cloak]

the best movie of Ryan Gosling

if you liked it watch Lethal Weapon

[novel bear]

I did not like it tho

[west escarp]

That’s a cool poster!

Movies should go back to stylized posters

[terse crystal]

i generally try to find alternate posters before using the 'official' ones (at least official English language ones)

One of my favorite alternates I found

tbf a lot of the English language ones for Cure go hard

[west escarp]

Those are so cool

What’s the English release poster then?

[terse crystal]

pretty sure this one

[west escarp]

The blandest one. Figures

The orange ine and the flame obscuring the face are my favs

[terse crystal]

the 'official' one isnt the worst i have seen

but yeah I more often then not finding myself liking alternates more than official ones

although alternates cant be too stylized imo

[gray orbit]

The lighter one is a criterion poster

[terse crystal]

too many fan made ones incorporate things that only people who already watched it would get

[terse crystal]

it is yea

[gray orbit]

So it’s official to the movie In terms of physical media

Have y’all watched Kanopy?

[terse crystal]

actually Im wrong

that was for the remastered version

[gray orbit]

People hate on criterion for kpdh even tho it deserved it’s achievement for being the most popular movie and plus Frankenstein got added as well

[gray orbit]

The golden song is overplayed tho

[terse crystal]

Janus Films (a distribution company that works closley with Criterion) will often put its remastered movies through a theatrical run before Either they or Criterion put in on physical media

[gray orbit]

Janus and criterion are owned by a billionaire who produced Wes Anderson movies

[terse crystal]

Here is the actual theatrical poster when Cure had its theatrical run here in the US in 2001

[west escarp]

Not a fan

[gray orbit]

That’s more bland!

[gray orbit]

Also it spoils the whole movie!

how is devil wears prada 2?

Ups and downs

The 2nd one resonates thematically with me more than the 1st

So I kind of enjoyed watching it more than the 1st personally (its not particularly my favorite genre of film)

But I would say its not quite as good a film as the 1st one

Its not bad either though

Okay I wanna stan Rachel Zegler but her Lady Jane Grey beheading dress at the Met Gala is bad 😭 😭 😭

Genuinely terrible looking and also I don’t think making a sexy Halloween costume version of it was super appropriate to begin with

||This show is so good||

||Season two is already so much weirder than s1 😭||

||wtffffff why are there so many people in the goat room||

[distant birch]

Interesting that the trojan horse is the image they're using for the thumbnail/poster

Ig with horses it could be a nod to poseidon or something

[lucid haven]

I always think of severance as kinda like lost but with answers

Its weird af but it does give you answers to things

[distant birch]

Tbh Odyssey doesnt look bad but it just doesnt connect as the odyssey to me

[cold sequoia]

Interesting that they are all doing american accents

[trail cloak]

watching Regular Show before the new series

it's peak

the best modern thing Cartoon Network ever did

[turbid narwhal]

It feels like with every new trailer and snippet they show for the odyssey the less excited I get for it

It’s probably just that the trailers are pretty bad because the prologue they showed before PHM looked great

[molten jetty]

I’m much more excited for the Epic movie

[distant birch]

I have some tentative interest in the Odyssey movie but I'm not super hyped

[trail cloak]

the only movie I'm hyped this year (for good and bad) is Doomsday

and Supergirl

[distant birch]

I'm excited for Dune 3, supergirl, werwulf, clayface & backrooms

Leviticus also looks interesting

oh and the new hunger games

[trail cloak]

Dune I need to watch the 2nd one

[hushed moss]

Spider-Man looks good so far as well

I might be most excited for Coyote vs ACME

[distant birch]

Oh I forgot about spiderman

[lucid haven]

Im pretty hype for backrooms

[lone canyon]

I’m excited for the odyssey

Gimme my Achilles cameo

My problematic fav

[winged mountain]

I'll watch supergirl, spiderman, dune, maybe coyote, maybe doomsday

[dusk hound]

I REALLY hope Spider-Man is good

I beg

My biggest fear is that it’ll just be too overstuffed

[steep bramble]

[distant birch]

Is that... btsv?

2027 is gonna be big for me in terms of superhero movies

[lucid haven]

100% severance is giving answers to questions we are asking

[wet quest]

For now

[lucid haven]

Lost was pretty good early as well

[wet quest]

I'm hopeful for it. Apple TV is still pretty fresh on the scene, so we'll see if they insist that Severance gets stretched longer than it oughta be like Lost. Fingers crossed that they let it come to an end

[lucid haven]

Im not too worried about the show itself im more worried it will end before it gives us the answers I want

[wet quest]

Though they're ressurecting Ted Lasso now, so I don't know

[winged mountain]

I don't really have a ton of trust in the Severance guys to see that story through, though I also didn't love the second half of season 2 so take that perspective for what little it's worth

[dusk hound]

Expand that to all Spider-Man movies please 🙏

[wet quest]

Was there anything specific that you didn't like, or was it just not clicking?

[winged mountain]

Severance ||The core conflict, the 'damsel in distress is going to die because of the work you've been doing, but you saved the princess with literally seconds to spare even though this work has been going on for years', it was just storming stupid to me||

suspension of disbelief issues mostly

[molten jetty]

So animal farm looks atrocious

One of the worst movies of all time easily

[winged mountain]

it wasn't really on my radar but I did see a trailer when I saw... some movie, what movie would I have even seen recently? IDK

PHM, that's it

[lone canyon]

I got AppleTV to watch Murderbot but cancelled it after

There’s just not enough on it as a platform to justify keeping it imo

Especially cause foundation is lowkey mid

[winged mountain]

I only have Apple TV because it's bundled with apple music and a family plan

I've watched episodes of a few other shows, Pluribus, Slow Horses, For All Mankind, Ted Lasso, but I'm not really good at finishing shows

I sometimes watch just a few episodes and say 'yeah I kinda get it'

[wet quest]

||That's valid, yeah. I feel that was partially an issue with setting up the rescue window. I still don't entirely understand why Lumon was going to kill her instead of try to show her off as a new product demo or whatever. They had her severed in many different ways, so I think if their plan was, "put her brain back together to show we can bring people back from the dead, then block off her memories of the prison," that may have been better. Then the reason to break her out is so she can keep the prison memories and testify against Lumon.||
||That finale was great though. I really liked the whole structure of switching between the severed and non-severed Mark to get free||

[winged mountain]

I thought it was a contrived and disappointing idea executed reasonably well

I just don't have a lot of hope for the show in the aftermath

Severance ||but yeah, the whole 'I don't understand why they wanted to kill her' is probably a key part of why I didn't like it, it felt like some producer just thought they needed to ramp the stakes or something||

||maybe they just wanted to make sure their narrative was locked down or something, but they probably should have been rid of her the second word of her possible survival leaked to the outside if that's the case||

[wet quest]

I'm wondering where it's going to go after the end of season 2. ||I get heat of the moment and all that, but I truly don't understand what innee Mark's plan is. He just killed one of the higher ups, so there's no way Lumon is going to just let him get back to work. And he can't leave the building or outee Mark will just go about his life like normal.||

[winged mountain]

Severance ||I guess that's the other thing, like, I don't honestly trust that they knew where they were going with it either, when they wrote it. They seem like total pantsers, which is cool when it works, but to me, it isn't working. Like, it feels like one of those shows where they introduce mystery boxes without a clear idea of what the answers are||

||and I don't know why innie Mark would trust Lumon, the company he just raided to release their hostage, over his alternate self||

[frank quail]

||so it's less "Lost with answers" and more "just Lost"||

[wet quest]

I think it's a little unfair to say that a show that isn't done yet never answered all of the questions it raised

[winged mountain]

that isn't what I said though

[wet quest]

I was replying to nullvoid

[winged mountain]

to be honest Lost did the same thing

you introduce a mystery box, eventually you come up with an answer, but what makes it an Abrams-style mystery box is that you introduce the mystery without knowing the answer as a writer

Lost offered at least some answer for like 90% of their mystery boxes eventually, whether the audience liked it or not

and that's not intended to complain about the remaining 10%, I think it's good to have some lingering mystery even when you're done

[wet quest]

Abrams was a producer for lost, the main writers were Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.
Abrams did have that philosophy of making mystery boxes without knowing what was inside, but Lindelof and Cuse purposefully never put any of Abrams' boxes into the show if they didn't know what was inside.

[winged mountain]

Abrams gets pointed at because his influence and his boxes are all over the pilot, I know he didn’t do the day to day or much at all afterwards

[wet quest]

For sure. And we've seen from his other stuff that he never really seems to know what's actually in the mystery box or what it's purpose is
The idea is really good and can create an engaging story, but you really have to have some kind of outcome in mind. Is there a cool character motivation inside? Is the point that characters want what's inside and it doesn't matter what it is? Is it that there's another mystery box and the whole idea is endless mysteries?
If the writer doesn't know what the point of having the box is, it can lead to very unsatisfying endings

[wet quest]

But yeah. Honestly it's worse than "he didn't do much day-to-day" stuff. He brought Lindelof onto the project at the start and then left partway through making season 1. So Lindelof, who was just starting his writing career, was put in charge of this massive show with little to no warning. A show that, as a reminder, had a pilot so expensive the head of ABC got fired for approving it
A lot of people think that's why a lot of the show centers around people being thrust into impromptu leadership roles

[frail mulch]

finally got around to watching the super mario galaxy movie and it is definitely a movie that exists. Kid was entertained and I really appreciated the full orchestral versions of familiar riffs but ||it does seem odd that there was more Fox than Rosalina in this movie. ROB and Mr. Game & Watch appearing makes me wonder if we're thinking about a Super Smash film eventually... or maybe they're just present as Nintendo deep cuts||

[dusky flint]

Its what george orwells horrible trotskyite moralist allegory on rails deserves

[cobalt onyx]

Rampant speculation ||Calling it now, the Zelda movie ends with the Postman running up to Link to hand him a letter with a familiar seal...||

[crystal brook]

||My assumption is that the eventual smash bros zelda will be separate from the live action||

[keen flax]

I had a very similar gripe with the movie (mario galaxy movie) ||its called galaxy movie. You cannot just stop at like.... 4 refrences, and then shove other game refrences in there when the title told me it was supposed to be about GALAXY. I wouldnt have been nearly as miffed if it was just mario movie 2. But my hopes were high... alas 😔💔||

Wait WHAT???

You’re telling me Mary Jane was in TASM 2??? And was cut???

[placid river]

Yeah the TASM films were a mess

[forest wigeon]

TASM1 had a decent plot, but the tone was too dark and the suit sucked
TASM2 fixed the tone and suit, but the plot was a mess

[acoustic pewter]

TASM2 had a killer soundtrack too

[winged mountain]

I never honestly watched the ASM movies

[acoustic pewter]

I remember I was obsessed with Electro's theme back when the movie came out

[winged mountain]

oddly I never watched Homecoming despite watching the second and third Holland movies

I've been meaning to go back to it one day but never bothered

[acoustic pewter]

I think the only Spiderman movie I haven't seen is Spiderman 3. I think I saw parts of it, but never the whole movie. And I'm fine with that.

[winged mountain]

I've watched it once, in a theater, and I don't really remember it at all

[acoustic pewter]

Fun fact: When I was young I disliked Spiderman 2 because I found it annoying that it was trying to be two movies at once that didn't fit with each other at all. (Superhero flick and romantic drama)

Almost like that's whole point of the Peter Parker/Spiderman double life dynamic, wowww. But I was a dumb kid who just thought the movie was trying and failing to be two things at once. It totally went over my head.

[dusk hound]

I have a soft spot for TASM 1

Yes its not perfect but it was the first live action Spider-Man I watched in theaters

[forest wigeon]

It feels like it's trying too hard to be The Dark Knight

[dusk hound]

Yeah, it was the era where every CBM was trying their damndest to be like The Dark Knight

[winged mountain]

And then every CBM tried their damndest to be like The Avengers

I don’t even know what the next trend is

[topaz oyster]

Bad Superman

Boys/Invincible/Watchmen etc

Gotta deconstruct

[cold sequoia]

I don't think that's really the new trend, the newest one of those is 5 years old

[winged mountain]

I did say next after avengers, not necessarily new

I don’t know if there’s a ton of it out there but the shoe could fit

Also, like, Watchmen was a bit earlier, anti-hero stories and subversions of superheroes might be a bit niche, even if one version did well

I don’t know if it’s a trend or not, I just don’t disqualify based on timing

[agile drift]

Multiverse movies were also big for a minute there but I think it's on its way out at this point

[dusky flint]

its also not a new trend at all

[spring barn]

Might not be a new trend but it's an ew trend alright

[dusky flint]

Eh i like it tbh

[spring barn]

I generally dislike satire or subversion made from spite

I like ASOIAF (not necessarily GOT) because it's a respectful and thoughtful subversion of heroic fantasy

Garth Ennis meanwhile is a being of pure spite

[naive mica]

Subversion like that also only works once or twice, imo.

And do it too many times and it just gets boring.

We see later on in No Way Home ||that he learned the lesson more directly with Aunt May's death, and including that felt to me like the movies saying that he didn't learn that lesson with Uncle Ben's death||

[velvet oriole]

I had a random thought, one of the reasons Game of Thrones is great is because of it's opening.

Because it actually shows a map and focuses on the important places, it helps give the audience contextual clues about where everything is and that helps explain the vast distances. It helps where a lot of shows fail because you have no idea where anything is at.

[trail cloak]

where?

[oak ivy]

General probably

[hushed moss]

Reading the interview, I think they were saying that he wasn’t involved in the same way as previous Peter’s were. General Spidey mythos ||Most of the time it is Peter’s actions (aka not stopping a robbery because he felt slighted) that caused Uncle Ben’s death. I think with MCU Peter, what ever caused his Uncle Ben’s death was disconnected to Peter.||

Possible example ||This Peter hid his powers, and feels that if he understood them when Uncle Ben was killed he could have prevented it.||

||MCU Ben’s death probably did help lead to him becoming Spider-Man. But he doesn’t have that same regret and self-flagellation about the it.||

[lone canyon]

I haven’t watched gundam but it seems to have less egregious moments than code geass

I though code geass s1 was unironically really good though

Code geass s2 ||it got really dumb with the geass fight between lelouch and the emperor over the spiritual collective of the platonic ideal of all the worlds ballsacks or whatever that was, and the ending just got kinda ridiculous||

[oak ivy]

||anime has an issue of ending with abstract nonsense||

[magic dust]

I was prepared for some slander, but those are definitiley valid complaints.

[magic dust]

Code Geass All ||I think the main problem with it is that it's a major conflict with one of the (if not the singular) Big Bads of the series, and it runs on a branch of the magic system that was essentially unexplored and unexplained before that point (or after that point, tbh).|| So it's perfectly understandable for the general reaction to be '...that was weird.'

[burnt shale]

Gen Z is the most theatrical generation, with 13% more likely to attend opening weekend than older moviegoers

i wanna see the methodology on that one

becuase are they saying they are more likely than cohorts at the current moment or age

[west escarp]

“Teens and young adults are more likely to physically go to the movies”

[muted solar]

62% won’t pay full price for games.

I’m curious what percentage could afford of Gen Z folks could even afford to

[dusk hound]

I do kind of buy it tbh

My local theater is always CRAWLING with teens in the summer

[crimson kelp]

I think that's kinda... always been the case

[burnt shale]

I mean why would they 99% of the games people will buy will go on sale if they wait. How dare the Gen Z base have delayed gratification

Also on the games that they know won’t go on sale I feel like they would pay

I feel that’s really asking how much you play video games more than anything else

[wet quest]

I believe that first statistic wholeheartedly because some platforms are switching over to minimum subscription length

Also because that's what I do. Subscribe, watch a show, cancel a couple weeks later

[muted solar]

I’m not saying how dare they have delayed gratification. I’m just commenting on the state of the economy and what I’ve heard about the Gen Z struggle to straight up survive financially.

I just felt like that statistic in particular was funny given that additional piece of context

[lucid haven]

Theres a reason why weekly epps comming out or batches of epps comming out take place over like 10 or 15 weeks

Im actually very much in favour of weekly epps and like hour long epps comming out in seasons of about 15 epps

[winged mountain]

I've never heard of minimum subscription length being a thing in streaming (so far)

[muted solar]

I mean then you just watch it 10-15 weeks later if you’re the type of person subbing for one month to watch a show

[runic pollen]

Not to mention Steam works in a way where you are kind of incentivised to wait around for a discount deal.

The same way as the 70% no physical copies stat just feels like more a problem of the industry not providing these things rather than the opposite.

[main dew]

Elden Ring movie thoughts ||You know, I wonder how much the movie is gonna play up the Marika = Radagan twist. It occurred to me that in Elden Ring, that's essentially the only meaningful revelation in the story. Everything else is Go To Place, Kill The Biggest Fella, Move On||

[sonic trench]

elden ring movie + game ||the only other twists I could see them playing up are the ranni quest ones or the miquella related ones. The latter seem almost assuredly outside the movie's scope, and the former likely are also, but I could see some manner of reveal made out of ranni being behind the night of the black knives even if ranni's storyline isn't the main focus. We might also get a reveal about Melina's true parentage, if they want to canonize something not explicit within the game itself||

||it really depends on how much of a specific story is being told, vs how much the movie is just being elden ring, generally, as a whole. A lot of the questlines and endings in elden ring could be written as a movie plot, but screen time for that would be at the expense of generally elden ring things along the main, basic path||

||funniest possible outcome: the movie reveals info about the gloam eyed queen and lore debates now have to argue forever as to that info's canonicity||

[main dew]

Elden Ring ||I forgot you don't know Ranni is behind the knight of black knives going in. That's a good point. Really, exploring Marika and her kids and their messy messy relationship is where I'd put 100% of the focus. It's where all the juicy stuff is. But yeah, I don't see all the Miquella stuff being part of the movie.||

||Honestly, if the movie even mentions the GEQ I'd be shocked (with the balls of it)||

[sonic trench]

||I think the ranni storyline is one that would work well as a relatively self contained movie plot, given it has a cast of associated characters and can dovetail into maliketh and destined death being part of mandatory main progression (which otherwise might feel strangely tacked on if the movie doesn't cover the rune of death in some way beforehand, whether through ranni or fia's questlines), but it would spend a lot of time underground in the eternal cities in a way that wouldn't deliver on the basic recognizeable main path elden ring set pieces||

speculation + set leaks ||we've seen what appeared to be redmane knights, so radahn is likely going to come up in the movie. Makes sense as a major elden ring story beat to hit, and keeping the story cohesive would probably dictate tying that in to other plotlines in another way beyond just getting shards of the elden ring, so the movie might lean into the malenia and scarlet rot angle of it, or with the "holding back the stars" angle and the meteorite that opens the way to nokron||

[main dew]

Elden Ring ||I could absolutely see the movie doing Lucaria with Rennala (to set up Radagan), Caelid with Radahn, Lleyndel for Morgott and then up in the air on whether we go to the giants peak before going back to Lleyndel for the final fight||

||This is assuming the movie is gonna be a series of boss fights but honestly who knows||

Concept art for ‘RAY GUNN’, a new animated film directed by Brad Bird (‘The Incredibles’)

The film follows a private inspector drawn into a case involving aliens & murder all in the alternate futuristic city Metropia.

Releasing later this year on Netflix.

[thin ridge]

oooh

[verbal lintel]

Finally seeing the light of day after being an on-off project since the 90’s

[acoustic pewter]

I wonder how its animation will look. Like, this may just be a promotional image, but I'd watch a whole movie animated how this promo looks.

[thin ridge]

It looks really similar to the promo for Incredibles, which had a very different animation style. So I'm not terribly optimistic

I'd like it too though

[crystal brook]

So its not a movie about a disgraced competitive breakdancer?

[verbal lintel]

Brad Bird does crazy concept art but in general some of the more plain Incredibles concept art was translated 1:1

Other Incredibles concept art he made was WOAH :

Other art you can see they just took the abstract 60’s style Brad uses and made the scene from there

[crimson kelp]

great art

MATT REEVES POSTED THIS

[merry heath]

Watching one of the Bond movies and the amount of infrastructure damage is taking me out of it 😭

[cold sequoia]

reeve's batmobile is potentially the coolest thing I've ever seen in theaters

[dusk hound]

Watching this scene in IMAX during opening night was genuinely a life changing experience https://youtu.be/iSLVSi3EgSM?si=_ExwL8kL8IREeP_o

[merry heath]

Ngl for ne the sound system in a proper imax theater is arguably more powerfuly immersive than the screen

[topaz oyster]

If The Batman sequel gives as good a car chase as the first one did I'll be happy

Which, frankly, high bar

Car chases fell off in the Marvel era

[placid river]

when exactly does the "Marvel era" start?

[forest wigeon]

probably when Avengers came out

[topaz oyster]

Yeah about then

In the 2000s in particular car chases were a staple of action films in a really general sense

But of course they don't really make sense in the context of many superheroes

[spring barn]

Tangential but I think John Woo's Once A Thief has my fav car chase

The first one is kinda meh but the big mid movie climax had my jaw on the floor

[acoustic pewter]

I thought the car chase in Ant-Man and the Wasp was pretty cool, what with the shrinky-phasey gimmicks going on.

[distant birch]

I hope I like supergirl enough to push my non-dc fan friends to go

I should've with Superman

[steep bramble]

lol yes

[burnt shale]

Golden eye?

[merry heath]

Casino Royal

[burnt shale]

Huh I wouldn’t have clocked that as a big structural damage one.

[wet quest]

I come to y'all in a time of great need. I am going to see Mortal Kombat II tonight, I have yet to see the first one. Can I get a quick summary of the first movie so I don't miss any crucial plot elements?

[terse crystal]

https://boxd.it/eho4Pl

[gray orbit]

https://boxd.it/eh8hUV

[velvet oriole]

Any good movies in the theaters right now?

[crystal brook]

Is the drama on near you still?

[velvet oriole]

I don't see it.

[wet quest]

Mortal Kombat II just came out and I assume it's going to sweep the Oscar's next year, so you could watch that

[velvet oriole]

Do I need to see the first one?

[wet quest]

I hope not, I haven't seen the first one either and I'm going to see it tonight

[winged mountain]

I'm guessing if you ask a fan of the franchise they'd say yes but it'll probably be fine

[wet quest]

I'm going with a friend who gets upset that I watch movies out of order a lot, I'll ask if there's anything I need to know from the first movie just as it's starting

[winged mountain]

I think most movies are made with the intent that it should be accessible to someone who hasn't watched anything else before, even if it tries to reward people who have

[wet quest]

Depends on the movie and the franchise, really. In most cases movies will remind audiences of what happened in the last one since the general viewer only watches a given movie once or twice, and this has the added effect of bringing outside audiences up to speed.
It wasn't until after I saw Thunderbolt* that I found out that all of those characters had movies prior to that one, and I never felt lost. But if you watch Dune Part Two before Part One you'll probably be decently confused for a hot minute

[winged mountain]

I think some of that is just Dune, like, watching Part One is gonna also decently confuse you

but sure, it's probably less accessbile as a standalone movie than some

[wet quest]

That's fair yeah. More the distinction I meant was that some sequels are "the next story" and some sequels are "the rest of an unfinished story"

That being said, I'll always err on the side that you're probably fine if you jump in partway through. I think sometimes people underestimate their ability to figure out what's going on

[muted solar]

Movies get taken out of theaters way too fast these days

[hushed moss]

I’ve heard The Sheep Detective is a very good murder mystery

[quasi hatch]

I want to see that one!

[velvet oriole]

I decided to go watch it because I was right near the theater and it was at the right time.

[frail mulch]

oh, I didn't realize that was already out

[winged mountain]

that might be a today release

[topaz oyster]

Describing Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy as having swagger is 100% correct

John Street Fighter is in Street Fighter, and Scorpion is in Mortal Kombat

saw DWP 2

||a frustrating movie for me. there were a lot of small goofs that built up. some weird dubbing in the opening. the funeral seen being very quick to the point of being jarring. there not really being a climax, structurally. the actually deciding moment of the film happens when anne hathaway calls someone off screen. i feel more could be done with that. im imaging a scene where anne is arguing to lucy liu that the magazine is important, or something similar||

||i do think the characters were likable and the dialogue flowed pretty naturally. i think it also had a well defined generational divide that did not rely on overly cliche sticks||

||an issue i have not just with this film, but with a lot of more modern ones, is that lack of scenes. it feels like there are not smaller objectives or things for the characters to be doing, and so the plot just glides along in an on the rails fashion. i imgaine@novel bearnodding his head sagely at this. i dont think the way the characters handled situations revealed anything about them, bc the situations are, under the hood, make phone calls are get coffee or talk to people at a party||

||this movie is probably more enjoyable than i am giving it credit for. it is also briskly paced, which i appreciate||

[muted solar]

Invincible S4E7 || I really thought Oliver died. What an episode cliffhanger. This season is wild. A bit nervous to see where it lands. After errands ||

There is a 70% chance that it would make me asleep (then I would relisten to the episode awake)

But if not then it is a perfect moment to listen to with the stillness of the night and nothing visually being fed to my eyes to draw attention

[dusky flint]

they made 2 mortal kombat movies this decade?

didnt know they made one

[wise epoch]

And finished with Final Destination. Pretty great movie, though I do not understand the twist.

[buoyant scroll]

The first movie?

[wise epoch]

Yep

[buoyant scroll]

are you referring to the end when you mean the twist?

FD ||So Alex saves Carter, then Clear, thinking that when he saves someone it skips them.
Six months later Alex mentions he was never targeted...Death then tries to kill Alex, fails, and kills Carter instead.
The twist is they didnt escape. Death just waited.||

[wise epoch]

Not that, I got that

I mean the twist that ||Clear is before Alex in the death order||

||I think Alex coming to that conclusion is absolutely deranged. He died before Clear in the vision, he sat right in front of her, and the only way his statements make any sense is if he has to make a formal declaration "YES I AM SWITCHING SEATS WITH YOU, WOMAN ASKING TO SWITCH SEATS WITH ME" in order for that to count. The fact that reality assumes that he would have been in his original seat is dumb because there is no world in which he is in his original seat. Not vision, not reality.||

||And Alex has no reason to guess this. This assumption comes from nowhere and has no basis for assumption other than the fact that he isn't dead yet which can be handily explained by the fact that he's rigged this house to the nines (granted he CONFIRMS he's right afterwards when he starts flicking a lighter, but he still had to make the assumption beforehand)||

||"I never moved. Christa asked me to change seats, but I never moved. I would have been up next to Tod. Damn! Why didn't I remember that? I never moved. Clear's seat was in front of mine."
This is what he says, and this entire paragraph doesn't make sense to me. He DID move, in both the vision and reality, the only difference was where he moved to (either next to Tod or the lobby). There's no reason being reminded of Christa should have made him think this.||

[buoyant scroll]

||No he doesnt actually move seats in reality, he's panicking and goes to check if the tray will break like in the vision||

||Course it's been...decades? since i saw it so ill defer to you until i can watch it again||

[wise epoch]

||He doesn't formally move seats, but he still moves. Like I said, this assumes he has to make a formal declaration "Yes I am switching seats" or sitting in that seat in order for it to count and I think that's absolutely insane. Because he's not on the plane. If he was on the plane, he would have switched seats. I doubt those girls would have went to their assigned seats with Alex gone, I think they woulda just sat right in his seat anyway.||

I feel like there's something I'm misunderstanding or overthinking here

But I think the justification is absolutely insane in all regards

[buoyant scroll]

Ive seen someone say one of the most recent movies does something with this so 🤷‍♀️

[wise epoch]

Interesting

Funniest part is I found such an easy solution to make all of this ||except the statement that he didn't move because thats just a stupid statement that is factually wrong in every possible scenario|| work.

[buoyant scroll]

I think a simple solution could be ||that the reason why Alex was able to "save" Carter and Clear was cause Death was screwing with them.
It never skipped anyone and Alex is just wrong, cause six months later Carter gets killed.||

[wise epoch]

It's just as simple as ||saying Alex was sitting IN FRONT of Clear originally, was asked to switch seats, moved to a seat BEHIND Clear, and then forgot he switched seats and was going off of the seat that was on his plane ticket||

That explains everything nice, simple, succinct

Could be very easily caught by an observant viewer, no BS

[buoyant scroll]

||Death gets a...reputation in the franchise that makes this make sense to me xD||

[wise epoch]

||It skipped to Billy though. Granted, maybe he's just wrong about the death order to begin with, but I dunno I think the idea that Death is going by the order makes more sense for a franchise which presumably upholds that rule. If the movie was standalone I'd believe that a lot more, but knowing there's a franchise to follow, I assume that the assumptions made in this movie are solid||

||Death messing with him makes sense, because he does it in this movie, but I don't think he would break the rules to mess with him||

[buoyant scroll]

the creator of Sadako has passed away.

Sadako changed horror forever. she became an iconic symbol of terror for the world and yet for many of us, she became comfort, inspiration, and a way to find beauty in the tragic and misunderstood through art.

RIP Koji Suzuki. thank you 🫶

[frank quail]

... I can't decide if that's all AI, or just some of the signs

[crimson kelp]

I honestly think it's regular photoshop

some of the edges you can see where it's been cut and pasted

[lucid haven]

Yaa just looks like a couple modern signs slapped on an old image

[crimson kelp]

AI has different kinds of weirdness

[frank quail]

it's mostly the houses for cash sign that's triggering my alarm, yeah

[west escarp]

“An old image” like this isn’t the opening of one of the tv shows that reimagined what tv could be

[cold sequoia]

article from 2020
https://www.memphisflyer.com/we-buy-houses-whats-behind-all-those-phone-calls/

[frank quail]

Sorry Codenames, you're just old

WTF Who would make a sign like that?

[west escarp]

I’m younger than Twin Peaks!

I just really like jt

[frank quail]

graphic design is my passion type

(not Twin Peaks, the house sign)

[cold sequoia]

realtors posing as average joes I think

[frank quail]

average joes would be all times new roman 😩

or comic sans

[cold sequoia]

I think the idea is people who call numbers from those types of signs are less likely to have an agent or realtor of their own and therefore are easier to fleece

sort of like how some scam emails deliberately have typos to self select who responds to them

[lucid haven]

Uhh the image is still old? What does its cultural impact have to do with its age?

I wasnt putting any value judgements on it

Just saying the truth that the image is old

[wet quest]

"Hello, my mom left me her house, I don't really know what the market is like in her area. What sounds good? $5000?"

[cobalt onyx]

In theory, if the person on the other end of the number is playing fair, you can get a better deal with something like that because nobody needs to pay a realtor.

Of course, because they're the only prospective buyer, you don't actually interact with the market, so the price they're offering may not reflect the actual market...

[wet quest]

I think I'd probably rather go through a realtor simply because it's their job to get a good price.
That, and from my own home buying experience realtors know what you do and don't have to mention when selling a house. People selling without a realtor always bring up more than they should

[cobalt onyx]

Oh, absolutely, for the most part using a realtor is probably the right call. But a House4Cash company probably also has a much smaller turnaround time if you need to liquidate the house now to deal with some financial crisis.

[lucid haven]

That is the exact niche that business is ment to fill

They uasually take houses in any state

As in they will take a house as is

Dirty or disgusting or filled with trash

[forest wigeon]

Is it a recent image?

[runic pollen]

No they are saying it is an old image but not just "any old image" but from a very profound thing that changed tv landscape and they feel it is reductive to call it just that. Honestly I don't have any idea what is this an opening to either but that is because I am not an American boy. I just larp as one by having watched stuff like FRIENDS, Office and HIMYM and that is about it.

[buoyant scroll]

Youve never heard of Twin Peaks?

[forest wigeon]

It was a rhetorical question

oh you mean Farstrider

[runic pollen]

I guess I have. At most I have seen some spoiler bars for people watching it either here or in some other discord, nowhere else though. That's the one with Cillian Murphy right?

[buoyant scroll]

...i cant tell if you're doing a bit

[runic pollen]

I am not...

In fact, my first guess at what this could be an opening of, I thought it was X Files or something.

[tight dove]

Twin Peaks is the show that basically started the genre of “weird small town has a bunch of paranormal stuff going on and its a mystery”

[buoyant scroll]

Peaky Blinders is the Cillian Murphy show

[runic pollen]

oh

[tight dove]

Your Welcome To Nightvales your Alan Wakes etc

[runic pollen]

is that so

yeah it did give the eerie paranormal small town "things are not as they seem vibes" with just one image which is also edited. So honestly pretty aptly made opening (at least this shot)

[lone canyon]

Peaky Blinders is peak, except for the parts which suck ass

which is like a good 60% of the show excluding the closeups of Cilian Murphy's eyes and wideshots of him aura farming

[tight dove]

how did they make him twinkier

[west escarp]

No this is, somehow, Kon El

They better get him the jacket

[tight dove]

hes a clone of CLark is what i meant mostly

[west escarp]

Yes, Conner Kent has always been a clone of Superman made by Project Cadmus. Usually mixed with Lex Luthor’s dna because Luthor is trying to babytrap Clark just that egotistical

[dusk hound]

He’s gonna be voiced by Darren Criss too, who voiced Superman in the TomorrowVerse animated movies and played Music Meister in the ArrowVerse

[west escarp]

The guy from glee?

[dusk hound]

Yup

[hushed moss]

Has Lex been introduced in that show yet?

[placid river]

Minor MAWS ||yeah, he’s just called “Alex” in season 1 but he’s revealed to be Lex Luthor in S2||

I dont have very high hopes

[lone canyon]

Michael b Jordan???

[cold sequoia]

@keen flax
Michael B Jordan is executive producing a show based on a famous dragon-based fantasy series you may have heard of 👀

[keen flax]

I cannot even begin to determine how much agony this brings me

Thanks to him im gonna be sat for this 😌

[west escarp]

Didn’t they already announce this show years ago?

I thought they got so far as casting an Aussie guy as the pretty boy love interested

[oak ivy]

i can feel @keen flax 's conflicted energy

[keen flax]

My poor bf, im gonna hold him hostage so I can yell at him about this after I watch the first episode in solidarity 😔💔

[distant birch]

sorry what

Michael B Jordan??

[naive mica]

Yeah that's kinda out of left field.

[ivory night]

Would be funnier if it was Michael J Jordan

[distant birch]

Honestly I'll probably watch it

[dusky flint]

tbh i thought they were related

[muted solar]

I’ll definitely watch it

[hushed moss]

I remember when my mom bought me Fourth Wing for Christmas. I didn’t say anything but I did chuckle and she asked why. I then told her that it was the “dragon smut” book.

The real joke though was she let me go get another book and I ignorantly got the second Kingkiller book so… 💀

[muted solar]

I may actually get caught up with the boys in time for the finale. Gen V S2 finale time

[muted solar]

I remember when I met my 65 year old dad for dinner and a caps game and at dinner he told me he was listening to Fourth Wing
