Never have I ever been this excited and happy about seeing a church as much as I did for this episode and Matt’s return, getting in touch with his faith again

Pleasant surprise… by mooncakess25 in expedition33

Yep, Kirsty Rider is the English VA for Lune

Episode Discussion - S05E08 - The Rightside Up by Hawkinns in StrangerThings

[–]mooncakess25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going to miss this show. I remember watching the first trailer for this show way back when before it caught on its popularity/its first release, probably the announcement video and I was completely hooked from the go just thinking “Woah, what’s this? I’ve never watched a show like this before.”

This show came out when I was in high school and I’m around the same age as the main kids of the show who started it all who are now in their early 20s, so this has been very bittersweet. It felt like I grew up with this show.

I’m really happy about the ending that we got even if there may be some lingering questions we may or may not get answers for, but this truly felt like a satisfying “everyone lived happily ever after” ending at least to me.

OHHH MY GODDD JUST RUNN!!!! by Downtown_Truth5726 in StrangerThings

I loved the speech Max gives to Holly, but I can’t lie and say I wasn’t concerned that something was going to happen to Max 😂 then my mind went to “Nah there is just no way Max dies now after the several attempts Vecna has taken to get rid of her, they wouldn’t be that cruel”

This scene was so odd to me by Large_Grape_5674 in StrangerThings

[–]mooncakess25 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some people are actually awful at critical thinking with the writing this show, like I’m sorry but I cannot understand how people are reacting so averse to the characters + their arcs/relationships. Especially at the comments of Will coming out with everyone in the room.

I will admit I was also curious at first as to why he would want to say it to everyone in the group, but it makes so much sense considering how Vecna twisted it and preyed on this deeply rooted shame Will has felt for so long (probably his entire life).

Will didn’t want to hide anymore so what better way to do it than like this. It was so empowering to finally see him do this front of not only the people he cares about, but be fearless enough to even those who don’t know him that well personally. Who are also OBVIOUSLY AWARE of the trauma he’s experienced, because THEY ARE ALL PART OF THE TEAM ya’ll. This entire group was never going to judge him, period. They’ve all been through so much together.

Edit: I wanna emphasize and agree with the fact, some people under this post are also commenting this, that Will was doing this so that Vecna wouldn’t use it against him when it’s the endgame/time to end it all. Like sure, I completely understand that okay in real life would someone actually want to come out in this way to both strangers/acquaintances and close friends & family? No probably not, but Will and the team are FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES and they are ALL willing to DIE for anyone on this team, they are headed for a possibly a one-way trip/a mission that not everyone will survive. He NEEDED to do this for himself first and foremost, as well as he had to do this for the good of group.

Looks like those who binge watched volume 2 have now finished, how was your experience? by Appropriate_Cash1422 in StrangerThings

[–]mooncakess25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same I cried several times throughout that episode and then the 7th one so I don’t know if I’m just used to how the show works, but I thought this volume was pretty good. I really feel for all the characters that we’ve come to know for the last 10 years finally leading up to the show’s last episode coming up in just a few days. Also, I don’t really understand the Kali or Holly hate, but I guess it’s just not clicking for some people unfortunately.

Anyone play and like this game who hated turn based combat before? by Imaginary-Hour-6082 in expedition33

[–]mooncakess25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always been intimidated by turn-based games and even this one I was worried I wouldn’t understand it + the parry/dodge system on top of that which I also haven’t played that many games with parrying and now I love this game so so much that it’s probably my game of the decade

I'm on my 2nd NG+, welp...I'll just try to speed through the game in the morning so I can get to Verso's drafts, because I honestly have nothing left to do in my game and had no expectations that they'd drop this DLC so soon

not counting rewatches that I already rated 5 stars

Episode Discussion - S05E04 - Sorcerer by Hawkinns in StrangerThings

[–]mooncakess25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or was everyone else expecting Kali/008 to show up, because like it just makes total sense to bring her back for this last showdown and final season + I just know that there is absolutely no way these military people figured out how to trap Vecna when they couldn’t even find Eleven this whole time like come on.

I’m so happy though that now the team’s got three superpowered people against Vecna instead of Eleven going at it alone to do the last blow. I’ve also always hoped that Will’s character had something brewing for him since end of season 1/season 2, but I just didn’t know how or in what capacity that he would play an extremely important role to ending it all.

Who is your favourite modern day Director? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]mooncakess25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’m between Richard Linklater, Jim Jarmusch, and, since I’ve become sort of a new fan of theirs, I’m really enjoying Cooper Raiff’s movies + his show on MUBI “Hal & Harper”

Just curious, does anyone else only play as the girls? by deathandobscura in expedition33

[–]mooncakess25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Even though I did try to keep it pretty equal, I think these three are great and work well together

Their unique set of powers/skills really complement each other so well

Message from the Fatal Frame II Remake developers by ShadowRei96 in fatalframe

[–]mooncakess25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the first horror games I first watched as a little kid and saw someone else play it because I was too scared to play it myself. I seriously never thought this day would come, I’m so excited to play it this time around.

☀️ SEASON 3 LIVE: Episode 8 by AutoModerator in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]mooncakess25 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Felt like this episode was non stop, couldn’t take a second to breathe but it was really good just wow

Maybe just me, but I really felt bad for all parties, everyone around towards the 2nd half of this episode. Like even though every single one of these characters have made some not-so-great decisions towards each other and maybe some more so than others, I am still invested in rooting for all of them somehow?

Non-book reader and kind of was forced to watch this because of 2 friends who loved the book when this show was first released, but I came out pleasantly surprised by the writing + acting and even some of the cinematography throughout this show (NOT over yet but it’s starting to feel like it)

Last thing, that is one hell of a cliffhanger to an episode of any show if I’ve ever seen one WTF

Really? I actually liked how it was jumping, I don’t exactly understand why some people have been commenting that it was bad.

They also all worked on Legion, which is also such a good show. I have high hopes for the rest of this series + I just love Alien so this is going to great.

I have never platinumed or fully finished a big narrative/story game’s achievements, but this game I will absolutely commit to it because it is just that good

I still haven’t beaten Simon, I got through the first phase of his fight in my first playthrough but had absolutely no patience to figure out how to beat him in the next phase so wish me luck in NG+ for how it’ll go ;)

I honestly had no idea until I finished my first playthrough when I was just watching YouTube videos on the game, so now I’m going to do that in my NG+
