Been totally obsessed with Deltarune: Chapter Rewritten lately, especially the little rat Junkil and his songs

I was playing SiIvaGunner Deltarune rips on YouTube because haha funny

And you have no idea the amount of rage I had when I came across a rip of Spamton but made to sOUND LIKE FUCKING CBAT

My biggest flex with any game is probably that I beat Getting Over It in 8 minutes

I AM SO HYPED FOR THE FNAF MOVIEEEE

DUUUUUUUUDE THIS IS FUCKIN AWESOME

Been stuck rewatching this video lately that perfectly explains the opinion that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the Johnny Depp one) is much better than Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the Gene Wilder one)

I seriously cannot WAIT until the next few chapters of Deltarune are out. I want to see the new worlds, I want to encounter and recruit all the new enemies, I wanna see where things in the Light World go, I wanna die over and over to the new secret bosses, and I really want to know where the amazing story is headed.

Alright, so my performing arts school does a Senior Showcase at the end of the year as a last performance for seniors to show off the height of their talents, right?

People can sing, people can dance, people can act, play instruments, make films, make visual art pieces such as drawings, paintings, or sculptures, and all sorts of stuff.

I, though I am an actor and tap dancer as well, chose to sing because that is the art I've been doing for the longest in my life. I've been singing since second grade.

I could have chosen a normal song from the radio, I could have chosen a song from a musical like Freeze Your Brain from Heathers or I'm Not a Loser from the SpongeBob Musical.

BUT.

My nerd brain decided "y'know what, let's embrace the nerd side of things."

So instead of doing a radio song or a musical song

I'm singing Space Was Cool.

I watched the pilot for The Amazing Digital Circus today and I LOVE it

Like seriously, it's really well-crafted, and as somebody who's known about Gooseworx for a long while, I'm glad they've created something that's gotten so much love.

Kinger is such a mood. He hides in his Impenetrable Fortress™ (actually just a pillow fort). He loves anything to do with an insect collection. He is socially awkward. He is absolutely Mentally Stable (he is constantly on the verge of insanity). He can barely sit still for the life of him. And he gets startled incredibly easily, almost as if he doesn't pay attention to other people much of the time.

I have seen very little of Mario Wonder, but from what I have seen?

SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME GET THE MONEY TO BUY THE GAME I WILL DO LITERALLY ANYTHING

IT IS LITERALLY THE BEST 2D MARIO WE'VE GOTTEN FOR A VERY LONG TIME

THE CHARACTERS ARE SO EXPRESSIVE, THE IDEAS ARE SO CREATIVE AND IT'S SUCH A FUN GAME AND IT'S FILLED WITH SO MUCH WONDER (pun not intended but I feel like it's deserved)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Guys.

This movie.

THIS. MOVIE.

WAS SO. GOD. DAMN. INCREDIBLE.

SKLDFGJLSJSFLHKJ I LITERALLY HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER WITH A VIDEO GAME MOVIE IT IS SERIOUSLY SO GOOD

THIS MOVIE IS THE FIRST EVER HORROR MOVIE I HAVE EVER WATCHED AND I AM SO GLAD ABOUT THAT

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GO WATCH IT

I have been re-binging the Sanders Sides series lately and I cannot stress enough how absolutely incredible it is; it genuinely is astounding how it manages to blend entertaining story with very real topics about mental health and self-love, and is all portrayed perfectly by one person doing a huge majority of the acting

Alright,

so there's been an Orange Side™ teased for a long time now in Sanders Sides, right? And the common theory is that Orange will be some form of Rage or Wrath, and will either take over or split from Logan, right? Well, I want to voice my opinion on this, because I believe it's extremely accurate, and could also provide an amazing character to the mix to oppose all of the sides (yes, INCLUDING LOGAN.)

So, first point:

This point is very minor, but Logan was the first side to have his name revealed. If Orange is the last side to be revealed, that would mean he'll also be the last one to have his name revealed, which is an interesting parallel.

Second point:

Logan rarely shows any emotions. Yes, he gets excited about Crofter's, he has some small amount of pride whenever he's right, and earlier in the series he feels small amounts of remorse whenever he does something that hurts one of the other sides. But, most of the time, Logan doesn't show any emotions (and in "Alone on VALENTINE'S DAY!" he even says "Call me when you have something a little less feelingsy"). He shows nothing, except for one emotion (which is fairly obvious given the intro to this post, but I'll still save it for later).

Third point:

Logan has had excellent character development since the beginning of the series. In the beginning, Logan only cared about the logical solutions for any of Thomas' problems. He would constantly fight one of the other sides about a problem until one of the remaining sides or even Thomas himself forced him to see what he was doing wrong and concede or compromise. But as the series kept going on, Logan started becoming not just more academically intelligent, but very importantly, more emotionally intelligent. He understands the other sides more, and he eventually comes to realize that every side has their merit, even Janus and Remus.

Fourth point:

Logan often gets ignored or dismissed by the other sides and Thomas himself. Yes, Thomas calls on him for help for several situations, and Logan often saves the day, but even so, he doesn't always get the full credit he deserves. The most notable examples of him being dismissed or ignored are in "Moving On," and "Working Through Intrusive Thoughts." In Moving On, Logan makes a mistake and suggests they go to Patton's room, but once he realizes what Patton's room is actually doing (especially to Virgil), he immediately tries to get Thomas and the other sides to leave. Thomas, Roman and Patton ignore him, and Logan gets frustrated enough to leave. In Working Through Intrusive Thoughts, Logan constantly tries to get Thomas to follow his schedule for the day, but Remus keeps breaking Thomas' focus on his chores. Then, once Thomas finally gets called by Nico, the final thread of Thomas' focus on his chores is broken and he instead decides to go meet Nico to look at art. Despite all of this, Logan still tries to listen to everybody, including Janus and Remus.

Fifth point:

There seems to be a pattern with the sides and whether they're associated with more positive or negative traits. Logan, Patton, and Roman are all positive. Janus and Remus are both negative. Virgil is both positive and negative. If Orange is Wrath or Rage, this creates symmetry on both sides, with Orange joining Janus and Remus as a negative trait. This is also supported in the Sanders Sides Anime Intro (which I'm sure everybody already noticed but it's still worth it to me to bring up).

Now, to bring it all together:

If Orange is indeed going to be Rage or Wrath, it absolutely makes sense for him to either take over or split from Logan, because the one emotion that Logan shows consistently and often is anger. His frustrations whenever he makes mistakes, or when he gets ignored or dismissed, and especially his "FALSEHOOD" are all examples of how he commonly has outbursts (or at the very least, visible) bouts of anger. Logan's eyes glowing orange when he yells at Remus in Working Through Intrusive Thoughts only add to this. If Orange is meant to be a reflection/the opposite of Logan, then he'll likely show emotions constantly, with the only thing that stays the same being the outbursts of anger, just severely intensified for Orange. This also opens the door for the character development that Logan has had being completely reversed (no matter whether Logan is taken over or if Orange just splits from him). All of a sudden, the rest of the sides have somebody that simply does not care about their opinions or feelings. Orange likely will ignore all of the rest of the sides, or even lash out at them constantly, never giving them the time of day. Orange will refuse to see the merit in any of the sides' functions, which is the exact opposite of Logan, who tries to see everybody's merit. The new biggest problem becomes avoiding Wrath, but to no avail, as he keeps coming back angrier every time, until eventually they all realize that, just like with Virgil, they need to try to understand him. The only problem with that is that it's harder to understand and accept Wrath than it was to understand Virgil.

No matter what, though:

I am SO hyped for these teasers to pay off, no matter what Orange ends up being. I have no doubts at all about Thomas' ability to create an amazing and compelling character for all of us to love just as much as the other six sides.

RAHHHHHH NEW SANDERS ASIDES

Alright so I watched Inside Out 2 a couple days ago, and I'm sure other people already have talked about everything possible, but I still feel like I need to rant about my thoughts so I'm gonna do that here.

SPOILERS BELOW, PLEASE SKIP THIS POST IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THE MOVIE AND DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED

The first thing I wanna talk about is how insanely accurate all the emotions were portrayed. The first movie already showed the emotions in a simple but also incredibly accurate way, so much so that I could understand it as a kid who hadn't even turned ten when the first movie came out. But this movie took that portrayal and turned it up to eleven. I feel like if I were still nine years old and I watched this movie, it would perfectly help me understand the concepts of anxiety, envy, embarrassment and even ennui in a way that I don't think any other movie could.

Being even more specific, the panic attack was an incredibly realistic portrayal too. I've been lucky enough not to have experienced a full-on panic attack myself, but I've heard from people close to me that also watched the movie that it's even their favorite part of the movie for how good it really is. Plus, the way Riley grounds herself, and the way the movie brings attention to it is really amazing to see. First she slows her breathing as the emotions all hug her new sense of self, and then the immediate next thing that she does is focus on the feel of the bench on her hand, the sounds of the hockey game around her, and what she can see, and it works. Admittedly, this part I probably wouldn't have understood as a kid, but I definitely understand it now, and it's beautiful.

This is also a great movie to get across the concept of peer pressure, and how subtle it can be. Val's two friends in the hallway are a great example. The way they talk to Riley about Coach's red notebook puts the idea into her head that the notebook is the most important thing determining whether or not she'll become a Firehawk. This idea gets to her so much that she sneaks into Coach's office at night to find her name in the notebook, something that she likely never would have done had Val's two friends not talked about the notebook that way. Similarly, in the scene where Riley and the Firehawks are hanging out together and talking about bands, one of those same friends asks Riley who her favorite band is, and when she says Get Up and Glow, this friend of Val's pressures Riley into lying and being sarcastic about loving her favorite band, all because she wants to fit in with the Firehawks. Val's friends may not even realize they're pressuring her, but it's still enough to get Riley to try and change everything about herself just to become friends with the Firehawks.

Aside from all of those concepts, though, there were also so many small details and easter eggs that I wanna rant about. I loved how almost all of the memories at the start of the movie were mixed between the core 5 emotions, showing that they worked together so well as a team. I freaked out when I saw Joy's origami Bing Bong on her shelf by her bed. I loved the details about Bloofy breaking the fourth wall not being understandable to anybody else, and how Lance Slashblade moves like a videogame character getting caught on the collision of a map. I loved that the officer's hat in the vault scene had "My Hat" written on it to call back to the two Subconscious guards from the first movie.

I guess my main point is that I believe this movie is just as good as the first Inside Out, and perfectly captures the message it wants to give to people. I had so many concerns that it would be a disappointing sequel, and I was so pleasantly surprised once I actually watched it. You don't have to agree with me, of course; that's only natural for some people not to agree on things. But I do hope that if you took the time to read everything in this monster of a post, that you enjoyed my ramblings, and that maybe it even resonated with you.
