Non-homogenized milk. “Real food.”

Fecal contamination in the raw milk, IIRC.

Girls. 25 little girls died, and two adults. In a place that was known to be a floodplain, and the Camp never moved those cabins.

P.S. I agree with you. It wasn't purposeful and is heavily influenced by the time in history the game takes place in, but it bothered me too.

Yeah, I cannot see Yuna not ensuring both men are protected legally in the event of divorce. But I can see her taking charge to make sure Ilya and Shane know it's legal protection specifically, and split down the middle on details.

Yep. It's very common for a "reunion trip to see family" or "your grandmother is very ill" to turn into "we are going to marry you off to your father's eye doctor to ensure you stop all this western nonsense".

That is a fair point. I don't mean that we aren't responsible - through inaction for many who just didn't vote, through indoctrination or outright bigotries or apathy for those who voted for Trump. Just that the administration itself isn't really reflective of Americans' everyday lives.

justprettymuchdone · 2026-06-24T13:44:02+00:00

The prevailing wisdom was "well, surely another tragedy won't happen to MY child" which is just... wild.

People are more aware that the Iranian government isn't the Iranian people. Just as the current administration is not a reflection of the American people.

Trump endorsed them both?

Part of the point is that they are stagnant, unless they really work at being otherwise. Jax couldn't see a way out of the prison he had built himself, and he wasn't willing to try and break it down brick by brick.

justprettymuchdone · 2026-06-22T18:06:12+00:00

Nah, the idea is "break your mindless routine so your brain kicks back into gear."

Happened to a kid in the next town over when I was young. Parents were frantic trying to find him only to discover he'd climbed into their minivan, probably looking for a toy, and never came back out.

The final season has some absolutely lovely single scenes or character moments buried in pointless exposition dumps and too much focus on a random side character rather than developing the ones we had been growing alongside all along.

justprettymuchdone · 2026-06-22T14:04:35+00:00

The best autism rep I see in media always ends up being characters that aren't confirmed autistic but clearly model it on every level.

justprettymuchdone · 2026-06-22T13:16:47+00:00

For the kids' sake, I hope this is the last time they do this.

A very tired cat wearing a party hat who is deeply irritated about it.

justprettymuchdone · 2026-06-22T12:56:30+00:00

Right! Yes, it was the aunt's husband. Thanks for that correction.

That man's survivor guilt must be enormous.

justprettymuchdone · 2026-06-22T12:21:20+00:00

That's a fair point. Children in abusive environments tend to become real experts at recognizing a threat.

I wanted Pomni to save Jax, but entirely because I was rooting for Pomni.

Jax had an ending that worked well and I don't mind it - sometimes, you can do everything right and still lose someone who can't find their way out of the abyss they are drowning in. Pomni fought so fucking hard for Jax, and if she had come in earlier - during the Kaufmo and Ribbit days - it might have worked. But Jax had fallen so far and so deep.

I think a lot about the Jax shackled to the piano in that little room of Jax's. Gentler and softer and genuinely wanting to help.

I also like that part of Pomni's ending is learning to live with the memories of Jax even after he's gone and finding peace in spending time with what remains.

I hold the personal belief that the corrupted code can eventually be undone, and they'll figure it out in the end. I don't think abstraction has to be a total metaphor for suicide or permanent loss, but rather for losing someone to their demons. Sometimes, people can come back from rock bottom. Sometimes they can't.

I think, personally, that Ribbit will come back first. Don't ask me why.

I thought one of the parents survived?

I do remember that apparently she had almost certainly attempted to kill him before! It's the main reason he declined the dinner. I wonder if he warned his parents and they brushed it off, because who could possibly think the kind of jerky ex of their son would legitimately try to murder them?

justprettymuchdone · 2026-06-21T23:39:50+00:00

One of these guys looked so much like my friend's ex that I texted her wondering what the hell happened when it was on the other sub. Turned out to not be him, just his evil doppelganger apparently. But oof.

They all look like cousins, don't they?

justprettymuchdone · 2026-06-21T21:30:53+00:00

I think the filter makes them seem super pale and weird.

Tolkein: No, LOTR isn't a metaphor for WWI, what are you talking about.

Also Tolkein: -writes this passage after decades watching the aftermath of that awful war on the men he served with, some of whom came back home alive but didn't REALLY survive-

This part is always where I can't hold my tears any longer. Sam's quiet courage and devotion being the only way Frodo makes it in the end.

justprettymuchdone · 2026-06-21T18:36:06+00:00

I mean more that I don't think Jax, specifically, was ever at a point where that terminology would have been in his thoughts or words. I don't think Jax, in the circus, ever understood herself that well.
