"at worst, EVIL."
When I was writing up my post for Episode: Ignis the other day, I did a quick google search to try and find a nice quote to put in the subject header. What I found instead was a scathing tumblr post that began with the quote I actually ended up using: "Episode Ignis is morally corrupt AND bad for the gaming industry."
IT HAS BEEN DAYS AND I STILL CAN NOT STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS TUMBLR POST.
I'm going to link it here, but it's not because I want anyone to go and interact with this person. This isn't intended to be a hate post, and I wouldn't want it to be treated as such! But gosh, man. The intensity and the hyperbole of this post is both hilarious to me and weirdly nostalgic. It reminds me so much of the sorts of posts I used to make! It's just so wildly passionate and completely self-assured in what it postulates, and I really can't stop laughing but I also just sort of want to bless it for what it is.
Part of me really wants to grab a bunch of quotes and just have a wild time going through this post, but it's hard to do so without crossing over into something a little bit too close to being unkind. But! It's an entertaining read. Not exactly one I agree with, but. definitely entertaining.
In more real life news, Fel and I are looking at trying to visit my home for a few days. And it's really doing a number on me? I planned to go home for Halloween last year, and take my niece and nephew trick-or-treating. Understandably, that didn't happen. Then we looked at going down around Christmas instead, but that didn't happen either. I was surprised at how downhearted both of those cancellations made me, and I'm even more surprised to find myself struggling to make a new commitment now. I suppose it makes sense! The last two times I planned to go, I wasn't able to—now I'm afraid to make more plans because I don't want to experience that disappointment again, right?
But still, I never imagined I'd end up going so Squall Leonhart about all this. And I doubt the feeling is going to go away until I finally go and see everyone again. It's been well over a year at this point, and I've always considered myself pretty content living independently from the rest of my family but I guess this was a bridge too far or something! I wanna see the kiddos. I wanna see my dad, and get dragged off on some boring irrelevant errand because he'll squeeze me into his plans instead of making plans to see me. I want to eat mediocre food at mum's house with way too many people squeezed around the table. I want to let Fel finally meet Nelson and take him for a walkies like she'd been wanting to for so long. I wanna see Morris, who isn't even part of our family but I love that neighbour cat. I want to see my grandparents, and meet my step-sister's baby, and walk by the sea.
I want to go home to my dying backwater town and say 'god, why did I want to come back here', but be smiling the whole while. ... And I really do wanna see my wife taking that big fluffball Nels for his walk, hahaha. They deserve it. They really really do.

I, uh, never exist in a timely manner.
So, I adore the passion. They clearly feel so strongly about this and it's adorable.
But, like, they don't seem to really understand that people can be two things? Men can do both, etc.! Ignis can both be very organised and coiffed and capable, and also completely lose his shit when Noctis is imperiled. And that's kind of the point of his character; dude was basically sold to the royal family as a very young child. That is not healthy and probably says a lot about Lucis's labour laws.
I can't even comment on the rest. It's just a bunch of complaints about things I don't care about and it's amazing. Chef's kiss.
