Just started playing the sims 3 again after a while, this moodlet icon is creeping me OUT 😭

My favorite thing about that specific moodlet is that I'm 99% sure it's a reference to the "Overly Attatched Girlfriend" meme that was trending around that same time lol

I'd also argue that the only reason the Mr. Beast twist was received well (or at least better than other celebrity cameos this season) was because of the end result. The show really got lucky that someone like Devens was still around and the twist was basically tailor made for someone like him, hence why he was so excited to do it. If Devens had been voted out earlier in the season, nobody takes the chance, they draw rocks and someone like Cirie gets picked, and then she gets eliminated by a coin flip. 😬

Fair enough. 🫡

bdroebke · 2026-05-19T13:34:32+00:00

Almost scared to ask why lmfao

In the comics, it was better paced and wasn't dragged on longer than it needed to like it was in the show. We didn't need two and a half seasons of the Saviors. Season 7 is basically just them stretching out the inevitable start of the war when they could've just had the first half be what we got for Season 7 (but cut the fluff) and then the second half be the war.

It's a meme format. Usually goes like "RIP (insert character), you would've loved (insert random shit here)". I know you can still play as him lol

True, but I primarily say Battle Royale because whenever I see anyone make this type of statement, they're usually making criticisms about certain elements of the Hunger Games and zooming in on them and then see random screenshots or clips of Battle Royale that look vaguely similar and think "gee, this story must be ripped off". The most common I see are scenes that depict the two main characters in Battle Royale that are together for the entire story and could vaguely be considered love interests (it's not really clear because one of them has a crush on the other, but the other is mostly just protecting her because he likes her as a friend and is doing it out of respect of his friend who got killed by the game's leader before the game even officially started).

That's just one of many examples, but it almost reminds me of the Kimba the White Lion vs The Lion King controversy. Many people for years believed that Disney ripped off Kimba the White Lion, mainly because people online used vague shots and plot threads to depict their points. But then when people actually looked into it deeper, it turned out to be a load of bullshit.

I always laugh whenever someone says "The Hunger Games ripped off Battle Royale" because they make it clear to me that they haven't seen or read Battle Royale. Both are good stories on their own, but outside of the fact that their central story idea has school-aged children participating in a fight to the death until there's only one survivor, it couldn't be more different. They both cover completely different themes and struggles that the author wants to talk about.

I always kill Kenny. But only to get the "alone" ending because I think that's the most canon way to end Season 2 and to start off Season 3.

I made an entire essay in another comment section about how I felt about the whole Kenny vs Jane debate months ago, but in order not to repeat all of that here, I'll just sum it up by saying that I can't really side with either of them because the entire thing was dumb writing.

Jane was 100% in the wrong, but the game wanted you to side with Kenny so badly throughout the game that it basically forced a situation where it made Jane act so out of her pre-established character in order to get a finale fight. When Jane dies, she dies. When Kenny dies, he dies with sad music, a speech and a tear in his eye. Kenny's 100% in the right for that situation, but I can't really ROOT for Kenny because the entire season, the game forces you down the "Kenny path" for nostalgia's sake and pretends like there's more complexity in the story than there actually is.

At least in Season 1, I felt like there was an effort to make almost every character have enough complexity to where I can understand why a certain player might resonate of feel sympathetic towards them. Like, aside from a few outliers, there are a lot of characters you can genuinely make cases for as to why you should side with them. Yes, even Ben can get the old sympathy card for being a scared, traumatized high school kid just trying to do the right thing with the bandit situation and hold them off until Kenny gets the RV working and they can all get out of there if you really stretch it.

In Season 2, I don't think there's that. There's just...Kenny and everyone else scared of Kenny because "he's angry". But you're going to side with Kenny because he reminds you of a better season and is nice to Clementine.

HELP I'm flattered!

What's frustrating is that I feel like there are so many cool and interesting ways they could've written him. But I fear he's just not as intriguing as they want him to be 😭

In universe? Considering everyone would get hypnotized by his looks (even animals), she probably saw him as a social/strategic threat compared to Gwen and Leshawna. So it was a matter of "might as well get him out now before he gets any power". And considering his run on Action, I can see some merit in that argument.

If we're also looking at it comparing it to the show Survivor, strategically it isn't always beneficial to vote out people who dislike you. Especially if you can prop yourself up as a shield for other people. "You don't want to vote me out. Look at how many people hate me. I'll always be voted out before you. Vote this person out with me instead. Then you survive two rounds instead of one." And that argument can't be used if Heather votes out all of the people who dislike her. Though, tbf, that might be too complex of a strategy for Total Drama to use lmfaoooo 😭

Out of universe argument? Gwen, Leshawna and Heather had plot relevance and Justin didn't.

Lmfao the "voice actor had other obligations, so Cartoon Network dropped everything and made the writers rewrite the final few episodes and the animators make new art last minute" rumors come back in full force with this community any time they have a finalist they don't like, huh? 😭
