    Right now? Being honest and true to myself. Discovering who I am and becoming the person I want to be. I'm 21 now, and have started grappling with finding an identity. I think I'm making good progress in that regard.

    But my lifelong goals? I live to see communism take hold in my country, no matter how long it takes. My friends are all moving away because they can't afford to keep living here under capitalism. I will destroy capitalism, make this country prosper and bring my friends home.

    I've been learning that no matter what, I'm gonna have to do this the long way. So I'll try to live my life and learn how to be a person. I want to be a person who exists, not the perfect person who could never exist. And that means living and loving and failing and getting hurt and getting back up again. So that's what I'll do.

    There are millions of different lives I would like to lead. I've only got one chance. I should make it worth it.









  • spoiler for Arcane season 2 episode 1

    Im catching up on Arcane. Is it a hot take to say that I liked the first three episodes the most? The child cast had such amazing writing and dynamics, and Victor and Jayce's storyline was also good, which is very important in not making the show boring. After that I think Vi's character becomes a bit muddled. She wants to save her sister, and take revenge on Silco, and ensure peace in the city, and also I guess she fell in love with Caitlyn along the way? She joins the cops in s2e1, which better be her making a mistake that she will regret, because if this show tries to end with "the cops are good actually" after the first scene is them killing Vi and Powder's parents, I will fucking hate it. Vi develops this sense of justice out of nowhere, she's suddenly about keeping peace in the city after Jinx attacks the council. If she was trying to inherit Vander's legacy that would make sense, but she's not, she just seems to do it because she likes Caitlyn so much. Also Echo already inherited Vander's legacy, but we barely get to see any of him.

    The best bits of the show are anything focusing on Jinx imo, her psyche is by far the most interesting. She has an amazing screen presence, her character design is really distinctive even among the other great character designs in this show, and she even moves in a really unique way. She's like a snake sometimes, its awesome. Her relationships with Silco and Vi were what I enjoyed the most after the time skip.

    From everything I heard about Arcane, I thought it would be incredible, and it is very good, but it peaks in the first three episodes. Andor had me gripped the whole way through, but Arcane just slots into the "good" tier of show for me. I think the biggest problem is pacing, the show is too fast. The curse of 8 episodes, 40 minutes each hurts this show, and I wish it wasn't industry standard now. I would have liked to see a lot more of the undercity after the timeskip, to see more of how Silco changed the city. I also would have liked to see Vi's time in prison, and Powder becoming Jinx, and how she became ingratiated into Silco's gang. I really think there should have been more episodes post-timeskip before Vi and Jinx reuinte. They're only apart for two episodes, and Vi isn't even in one of those episodes. I didn't know if Jinx wanted her sister back or hated her before they met. Also Echo is such an afterthought post-timeskip. He's obviously the leader of the Firelights, because he's the only unaccounted for character. And you're telling me this boy had his father figure killed in front of him and lost all his friends and family, and then he stepped up to become a community leader and foster a safe environment for kids like him, and we don't get to see it? Echo is the one morally good person in the show imo, and he's barely even in it.

    Arcane isn't bad by any means, but the way people talked about it, I thought it was gonna be as good as Andor. Its not, which is a little disappointing, but I do like it. Its like a 7 or 8 out of 10. The first three episodes are a 10/10 for me though.





  • The Deprogram episode where JT and the guest talked about Magic the Gathering the entire time is only funny because Yugo is clearly bored out of his mind. There's like a solid 20 minutes where he doesn't say anything at all. I genuinely forgot he was there. Tbf I'm not into MTG and also found it pretty boring talk

    First time I've listened to the Deprogram in probably a year.
