I Feel Like Poseidon Would Just Let Odysseus Go Out Of Spite.

Siblings

They’re twins, but one grew older

This house was once full before

When you ship Elibarra and your teacher swears Elias is a really “good” friend:

Tbh, even though the CEO and other Mob members gushed abt how Chap 4 will be the best one yet, I was alrdy skeptical. Tbh, I found it concerning that we needed an ARG to fully understand what’s going on with the Poppy Playtime lore. The ARG itself was fun—although it’s bad news if the story isn’t self-contained within a specific medium, imo. Especially for casual players.

And the constant promotional materials! Am always suspicious about too much advertising.

They hyped up Chapter 4 too much to the point most of us are feeling disappointed the chapter itself didn’t match the hype. Maybe, most of us would’ve been forgiving if we weren’t bombarded with all the promotional material.

Miss Joker

Miss Joker, you’re funny! You put smiles where you go!

So when the days are tough, you continue to smile,

And it is crazy to think someone is your foe,

But when I said this, why is your smile not so bright?

Miss Joker, are you trying out gallows humor?

Your puns and jokes and tricks are very dangerous,

And it is not crazy to think you like horror,

When I said this, why do you look mysterious?

Miss Joker, can you stop? You’re talking to yourself!

You chatter at invisible audiences,

And all of your former fans have already felt

That you’re falling into a world of craziness!

Miss Joker, you’re no longer funny…stop laughing!

You make jokes to the wall, no longer an inch sane,

And as you are laughing and joking, you’re crying…

Oh, pity Miss Joker in her circus of pain

I just realized—Odysseus might have thought about sacrificing the sirens, but didn’t. OUT OF EVERYONE IN THAT SHIP HE’S CARRYING THE BRAIN CELL! He’s no longer trying to protect his men, just as he tried in the Circe Saga.

Odysseus…why? :[

(Altho tbf, I do understand why he’d try offing Eurylochus)

Gone are the days where books were well-beloved. Reading comprehension has been at an absolute low, where students cannot read through a single book. All the ideas presented by authors will slowly be lost to time, as no one except a few will read. Even with these, it’s difficult to properly read given how fast-paced our world is.

School is no longer a center for learning. Students who actually wish to learn are punished for their curiosity. They are seen as outcasts, nerds, weirdos, etc.

Children are exposed to screens at a young age. They see bright, nauseating neon colors daily, fingers and eyes moving. Patience is a virtue growing rarer and rarer, and along with it cognitive function.

Corporations grow bigger. Prices go higher. Salaries remain the same, for decades. And more decades. Each generation cannot afford what their predecessors could.

Art is an empty husk, no longer filled with meaning. It is beauty with no soul. It is a flower vase with no flower inside. It is a masterpiece created by reluctant artists, whose main goal is to survive.

Oppression persists, growing in strength. Politicians become stronger, no longer needing to sound intelligent. The crowds absorb their words without a second thought, as if under a spell.

Mother Nature is getting sicker day by day. Yet everyone continues on with their lives as if the day isn’t getting hotter. As if CO2 isn’t steadily climbing. As if the plastic in the ocean mysteriously disappeared. As if Nature will fix our shit, when it is the one dying.

We all look at these horrors, wondering if we are the ones insane instead. Isn’t it easier to stop thinking about these?

Maybe we are looking for someone. The next Martin Luther King. The next Tesla or Einstein. The next Mandela. The next Shakespeare. The next da Vinci. Regardless, we are looking for a saviour. Someone to take the fall for society’s cruelty.

Perhaps the worst thing of all is that WE have no choice but to be the ones who act.

Unnatural Nature

Gray replaces blue,

Smoke is the new oxygen,

While buildings stand tall

The Midterm

The room’s deathly still,

Save for the scribbling of pens,

And students sighing

The devs killed off Doey bc they knew Doey was OP enough to kick the Prototype’s ass

Love how everyone immediately started calling CC Dave/David after Hyperdroid’s theory dropped

As an Asian, am disappointed no Asian pope was picked. However, I’m giggling that the conclave chose an American who CRITICIZED Vance.

Lmao he has dual citizenship with Peru. MAGA and Trump are in for a rude awakening!

What can the orange do? Deport this pope?
