2020 things
just wanted a nice list of overall 2020 things i guess. idk how much poetic i'm gonna wax but! here we are!!!!!!!
media things
> the snapcube sonic riders fandub!!!! it was FUCKING HILARIOUS, i think about its bits a lot?? THE HATSUNE MIKU BIT IS SO GOOD but it was so hilarious all around and i adore it. (tails voice) ok boomer. wave's russian accent in act 2. TOP TEN ANIME DEATHS etc etc. ALSO THE THEME SONG FOR THSI GAME IS A LEGITIMATE JAM AND I DIDN'T REALIZE........
> nael dragged me through shadowbringers which god. EXTREMELY good story!!!!! easily among the best i experienced in 2020. i forget what level of MSQ the dungeon corresponds to but the 5.0 finale dungeon. amaurot changed me as a person. crystarium theme easily ranks among "video game themes i consider home". i haven't even PLAYED shb i just watched nael stream it but god!!!! god!!!!!!! how do i cope with a game this good
> HLVRAI EXISTS!!!!!! it was so funny and so good and i adored it. my lil sister loved it (please know she is like 15 she's not little it's just, easier,) and it was fun sharing with her and!!! AND!!!!!! me and ruri watched the commentary together a lot and it was good! i enjoyed it!!! not gonna lie, "friends get together and do stupid shit, and we're just here to watch but they did not make it for us" is my favorite fucking genre of content. and this year i was blessed with snapcube sonic riders, hlvrai, and!
> rvb!!! which ruri dragged me through. i've only watched seasons 1-10 and i don't know if i'm going to watch more than those seasons (we'll see!) but god freelancer arc was SO good and i LOVE tex and even if the humor of blood gulch is a little dated, once again, "friends doing stupid shit with each other and sharing it with the internet but it wasn't made for the internet" is. my favorite genre. OH MY GOD I FORGOT TO SAY THAT AGENT TEXAS CAME FOR MY FUCKING BLOOD, BUT! GOD!!!!! AGENT FUCKING TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE HIT ALL MY STANDARDS!!!!!!!!!
> it's small but me and ruri watched metropolis 2001 AND GOD. WHAT A MOVIE. THAT CLIMAX HAUNTS ME.
> also i've only gotten like halfway through ico but i'm having a fun time.
> this baba is you speedrun is frankly incredible
> HARROW THE NINTH!!!!!!!!!!! GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW DO I STOP THINKING ABOUT THE TWISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE POWER MOVE OF ACT 5!!!!!!!!! THE AU SOUP!!!!!!!! THE REAL ACTUAL SOUP!!!!!!!!!!!! JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! god what an incredible book i will WASTE AWAY until alecto is released
> OH THE FUCKING. I ALMOST FORGOT. TALES OF THE RAYS EVENTS!!!!!!!! TWO OF WHICH I HAPHAZARDLY TRANSLATED AND ONE I ACTUALLY TRANSLATED ALL OF. GOD!!!!!!!!! i guess i'm slowly plugging through tales of the rays too but i still cannot believe it catered to me specifically with 1) kharlan heroes focused event with martel getting POSSESSED BY THE VENGEFUL SPIRITS OF DEAD CHOSENS 2) the abyss nebilim quest but ion is there, asch is there, there's another ion replica, and the canonical party comp is jade+dist+anise+ion 3) THE WEDDING EVENT WHERE YUAN AND MARTEL GOT MARRIED AND MITHOS WAS JUST! AUGH! ugh! augh!!!!!! (you can read my translations here)
> fe9 and fe10!!! tellius!!!!!!! IKESOREN IS REAL, MIST IS GOD, I'M STILL SO SAD ABOUT SEPHIRAN AND ZELGIUS?
> OH THE FFXIV 1.0 FINALE ALSO WREKCED MY FUCKING ASS. THAT'S A THING. CAN YOU BELEIVE YOSHI-P WAS JUST LIKE YEAH LET'S. DESTROY THE GAME. CRASH BAHAMUT INTO THE PLANET. answers made me cry.
shoutout to music artists i discovered this year even if they aren't new
> ruri introduced me to AFI and while i only care about the album burials, i definitely had ONLY BURIALS on repeat for SEVERAL MONTHS. i was going through something. might have been jade curtiss feelings. deep slow panic is best song also
> discovered autoheart.... i have listened to factories on repeat more than is probably healthy? but also it's a jam
> ricky montgomery exists too. listened to the self titled album on repeat. all of them are jams but this december is my fave
> realized ffxiv music was good.
