I hate that “chat” now makes people think of chatgpt. no. I’m asking my imaginary greek chorus twitch audience.
i love isekai fanfiction that gets really meta with it’s themes and stuff, like i want the protagonist who got transported into their favorite place to feel guilty about knowing so much about these people and their lives without their knowledge or even consent. i want them to struggle with the concept of either lying to these people or telling them a truth that might shatter their reality. how would you respond to this person who you’ve become close with telling you that not only do they know intimate moments about you, but they know about these moments because you are just a form of entertainment or escapism to them in another world? it would be so fucking creepy and violating and terrifying!!!
when the subtitles have slight inaccuracies like synonyms and asynchronous abbreviations/lengthenings to what’s actually being said

its so funny watching people veer so far to the left that they start reinventing things like race science, segregation, purity politics, censorship, misogyny, bioessentialism, anti-theism, nationalism, lynch mobs, capital punishment and group punishment, etc.
and by funny I mean fucking terrifying but I have to laugh otherwise I’ll spiral.

simon arish congratulations on possibly being one of the only positive male influences in dylan faden’s life, next to his father we barely know about. hopefully that’s not too much on your plate next to everything else-
is this a safe space to say that i think dylan faden’s voice in the new gameplay reveal while talking to “zoe” is very sexy ??
literally thank god sex isnt real and was just invented by big fiction to emphasize greater social and psychological themes i was getting scared id have to do all that
“the world isn’t kind” ok??? Much more importantly are you?????
“the world isnt kind” skill issue. I am

This is a threat
Baelor is that guy who somehow knows everyone’s name, remembers their dad, their horse, their cousin who died in the war, and is like “ah yes, Ser Arlan of Pennytree, good man ” while casually putting Dunk at ease like they’re old drinking buddies. He’s warm observant, socially fluent, and effortlessly decent.
And then there’s Maekar, barging in like who the fuck is this? every five minutes, zero people skills, zero interest in knowing who anyone is. He’s throwing verbal haymakers, doesn’t recognize names, doesn’t care to.
Baelor is the well-liked senior who talks to everyone, teachers love him, underclassmen trust him, and you’re like oh wow, royalty can be normal. Maekar is the intense sibling everyone vaguely knows exists, always angry, always looming, and somehow still shocked that people don’t like him.
one of my favorite things about the show’s finale is that in the actual credits after that scene of maekar, they use the song “sixteen tons” by merle travis!! a song the singer wrote about his time in the kentucky coal mines!!! the lyrics are so fucking CHEF’S KISS for dunk and the story i feel like s1 of this show is trying to tell. here is my favorite line from the song:
“If you see me comin’ better step aside
A lot of men didn’t, a lot of men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don’t getcha, then the left one will”
“autistic people need instructions for every simple task” okay how about we talk about the neurotypicals not following clear instructions. what do you mean it didn’t work the way you wanted, i gave you the instructions. oh you didn’t follow them? you didn’t see where i clearly indicated the directions you were supposed to follow for this task? and you’re shocked it didn’t turn out right? you decided to pull a Jared I’m 19 and go rogue? you’re surprised the road less travelled isn’t fucking paved because no one travels it? do you get off on this
