Anyway Maximus was my favorite character and storyline in S1, I'm very nervous given how much more fan attention has gone towards ✨️The Ghoul✨️. But the contrarian in me gets suspicious whenever a show/movie/game etc seems to REALLY want you to like a character AND (crucially) think they're cool
<--- poorly suppressing the urge to complain about how she's holding the gun so far from her face she's clearly not even trying to aim correctly because that wouldn't be very girls girl of me 😔

"huge update" ancestry dot com tells me, "to European regions" I SLEEP!!! 🤨😑😴😴😴
"that one girl in high school" i knew IMMEDIATELY what this was gonna be because the memory of a girl in my history class decorating her poster on "💝✨️the r*** of Nanking ✨️💝" still makes me so angry to this day!!! (and of course she became a teacher.)
re-reading Jane Eyre is so crazy because the lowood section is like a speedrun through the DSM-5
guy who brought a live mouse into my bedroom and cant find it now 😐😑
BG3 makes me so angry when it breaks its own rules...like wdym these guys get to use more than 1 Reaction per turn 🤨 when the ability text even specifies it takes 1 turn to recharge!!! 🤨🤨
