Ending an old book

 

               I checked the streamily email’s tracking and it suggests I will get the signed Yunaka print tomorrow.  If that is the case, this is probably the last blog post I will be linking to on Twitter, or as it is apparently to be rebranded, “the X,” because Elon Musk is an insane imbecile, on the day of, Monday, July 24th.  I have made my final tweets, scheduled for Wednesday (as of this morning), Friday and Saturday, all scheduled for either famous or fictional people’s birthdays.  I am probably going to block the site on the 1st of August so I can no longer access it and be tempted to be a part of it.

 

               With the end of Twitter comes the end of a book in my life.  The Monsterverse has fallen into the hands of a Kong-obsessed hack named Adam Wingard, so I’m going to be avoiding Godzilla x Kong; the New Empire, and seeing Godzilla; Minus One, instead; a film that doesn’t place Godzilla as second-fiddle to a bland giant monster that doesn’t need to be the star of a series because he is so uninteresting.  If Michael Dougherty is not reinstated as director, I will likely not be returning to the Monsterverse side of the daikaiju world again.

 

               I became dangerously obsessed with voice actresses to the point that I worried I was going to end up hurting or killing someone.  My obsessions with Laura Bailey, Tara Platt, Colleen Clinkenbeard and Abby Trott reached levels on par with Miley Cyrus from 2008 to 2014, all because they play Rise Kujikawa, Edelgard, Erza Scarlet and Annette.  This is another major reason I’m quitting Twitter; I feel I have bothered, annoyed and harassed these women like an aggressive, deranged stalker, and I need to have a digital restraining order placed upon myself.  To that end, I’m only going to buy Stray Gods and a Switch port of Persona 3; Dancing in Moonlight, as well as a comic book based on Tara’s Topsy McGee and the Sky Pirates world, watch some Aggretsuko and Zom100 and finish the games I have, any other encounters will not be planned out ahead and I will actually try to avoid them for both of our sakes.  This isn’t like Godzilla, where you can unleash adulation like mad, you unleash your adulation in these circumstances, eventually, you go crazy and decide you want to kill someone so you can have them all to yourself.

 

               To that end, I am unsure if I want to keep playing Fire Emblem Heroes.  I can say this will likely be my last book in the game, I am getting tired of the exceedingly convoluted stories where various gods seek to ruin Alfonse’s life because he faced Hel and didn’t die.  I am tired of the Gacha element to the game, giving me the special characters from the event I don’t want if I get that far and now relying on characters I hae become unhealthily obsessed with because they were there for me and reinforced my mental structure (as did their voice actresses) while the United States crumbled at the Coronavirus and the Trump administration and its MAGA minions.  I think I should shift over to Godzilla; Battle Line, and place my focus there, forget about Tara and Abby, forget about fighting for free speech and just accept that maybe America WANTS to be fascist, racist, misogynist, homophobic and transphobic and there’s nothing I can do about it but my own personal decisions which amount to nothing!  They might as well not happen!  2 years ago, I saw DeviantArt go down in flames just like Twitter is now.  It’s now a crude husk inhabited solely by psychopaths, nihilists and imbecile pollyannas.  Twitter is trending that way.  Maybe that’s what America wants to be.

 

               That’s why I’m going back to Facebook.  Because nobody in my family, my Church or my Middle School, High School or College Class is a psychopath, nihilist or an imbecile Pollyanna.
