One of the things I really love about Bojack Horseman is that as Todd gets more mature and starts to realize how bad Bojack is to be around and asserts boundaries and advocates for himself and pushes for more responsibility at work... he's still Todd. Still Wacky B-Plot Guy.
I haven't been able to bring myself to watch El Camino because I really don't want to see what happens next for Jesse Pinkman after he drives away from the compound if it's not time, distance, comfort, and healing.

I'm sure it's good. But I don't need his journey to be longer.
And maybe it's just that it's the same actor playing the characters and they both are (at least at first) largely defined by a toxic relationship with a narcissistic older man but in the final season of Bojack I kept feeling like it was healing/closure for Jesse.

#BirdsOfPrey deals with a lot of the same tropes you get in "grim and gritty" superhero movies but it doesn't it in another way... glam and glittery.

It's not grimdark, it's glamspark.
I also love the street-level view of Gotham's villain/crime politics in #BirdsOfPrey, something that the some of the best Batman stories in the cartoons and comics have done, but which has never been done justice on the big screen.
It's not about saving the world or preventing a war. Even the fight for who controls Gotham's underworld is local. Ultimately while every protagonist has her own stakes, the thing that unites them the most is saving one specific child who isn't destined or chosen or whatever.

About to see #BirdsOfPrey. Very excite.
LORI PETTY MOTHER OF GOD, Margot Robbie is perfect and this is the most perfect action movie I have seen in... maybe ever. Also hilarious and sexy.
I want to inject this movie directly into my veins in a way I haven't since the time I rented Tank Girl on VHS and watched it over and over again all weekend.

Do you remember what I said when he was photographed with toilet paper trailing off his shoe?

"Do you think if anyone had pointed it out to him, he would thank them for it?"
He is on a rampage, dividing the world around him into Loyal and Enemy, even more so than usual.

Imagine he's annoyed with his hair-and-makeup people. Imagine him snapping. "Enough! Aren't you done?"

Probably happens a lot. Usually, they'd push past...
...as the cost/hassle of annoying him in the moment would be so much lower than the price they would pay for letting him go out looking like a ghoul wearing a human skin mask.

That would be the calculation on a normal day.

One of the things I really struggle with as an autistic person is needing to know Why something is the way it is, and struggling to "just accept it" or "move on" if I don't have a proper answer as to that.
This manifests in so many ways - from me not engaging with various social norms because there doesn't seem to be a proper reason for them, to struggling to move on from certain traumas because I don't know why they happened, to having difficulty learning certain aspects of
languages because I don't know why those grammatical things are the way they are. There are plenty of other manifestations too, in my day to day life. Answers like "Just because." and "That's just the way it is." frustrate me no end - that's not a proper answer!

It's close to year-end and so I decided to write an appreciation thread for everyone who has impacted me in my life thus far. Ready? Aand go /1
1. @mustache_cheese. Zana has always been my go-to with good, bad and cursed memes. She has been really crucial to my growth as a person mentally, and this year marks 6 years of our friendship. Here's to more kookiness, as that's one of the things I really love about her <3 /2
2. @HandLruinme. Silver, while we did get off on the wrong foot in the beginning of the year, you showed me what it's like to be accepting of change, and you have helped me through a lot. I'm really proud of you and your ventures, and congrats on hitting 100 followers! /3

1. Love never gives up; love cares more for others than for self, Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have, Love doesn’t strut, Love doesn’t have a swelled head. (1Cor.13:4 MSG). #Love
2. It never ends well with selfishness when in a relationship with other people; the focus is on us and what we can get. Love and selfishness can never go together. (Phil. 2:3-4) #Love
3. In looking out for the interests of others, it is important to note that people are unique and have different needs which must be taken into consideration. #Love

1. Love is a subject that every one of us has an opinion on. However our emphasis is on the doing part of Love. #Love
2. The first component of Love is in John 3:16 - for God so love the world that He gave his only begotten Son. #Love
3. To love is to recognize value in someone and to demonstrate that recognition of value. #Love

I've seen the "10 RPGs that most influenced you" thing floating around. Here is a stab at it for me.

Dungeons & Dragons
Pathfinder
Marvel Super Heroes
Marvel Heroic Roleplaying
Ghostbusters
Monster of the Week
Fate
Edge of the Empire
Mutants and Masterminds
7th Sea 2nd Edition
D&D feels like a HUGE cheat, since that, for me, covers B/X, BECMI, AD&D 1st and 2nd Edition, 3rd, 4th, and 5th edition.

I also don't lump Pathfinder in there because despite being a similar rules base, I learned completely different things from how the game was supported.
Standard disclaimer--I tried to pick the top ten, but I've definitely been influenced by more games than this. Sometimes, in retrospect, but there have definitely been more than these 10 that had an impact.

One of my desert island songs. And albums. This record helped save my life at a very bad time.
One of the things I really love about this record is how RAW it is. Tempos fluctuate, harmonies are a little off, everybody makes mistakes, but it sounds fucking majestic anyway. That's how music should be.
