Saw my first cooked frog.... It's just as concerning as I had always imagined. If not... More so. I'm sure it tasted great! It was just... Rather unsettling to look at 🤣

Because at some point they just become names. There are people today that only know about the twin towers and octagon and all that as a bad day in history. They hear the names and that's all they are. The gravity of the day is lost on them and that breaks my heart.

I'm like genuinely afraid that man is dead this year and they won't have any veterans that served and I know I'm gonna cry like a baby for a man I never knew

U know what, I thought about it earlier today but I'm actually not looking forward to 5/11. Theres a Dutch streamer I watch sometimes and he covers the remembrance day event in the Netherlands and I tune into it cuz I'm Dutch American and last year there was one lone veteran.

Discover submerged starship wreck deep beneath the ocean's surface, blending sci-fi with the depths of the sea. While a sunken shipwreck typically invokes images of the past, this futuristic vessel adds a new dimension to underwater exploration. See more at our site! www.czepeku.com/scifi/maps/d...

trust me 1000X better than what she used to do years and years ago which was bite me, really fucking hard btw 🤣, until I said I was ok 3 times. And not just say it. It had to be said a certain way (ie, not while crying) and it had to be 3 times.

Had some repairs done, guy was such a sweetheart but my cat straight up squared up and growled at him 😭 I had to apologise and explain she was abused by my ex so she like genuinely hates men unless she's in heat. Promised she wouldn't attack (thankfully she didn't) but she did hover around me 🤣🤣🤣

The soldier tries to save people through action. The woman tries to save people through faith. The child simply tries to survive and save his mother, the one thing he loves most. 7/7

As it said at the end they want U to engage with Pompeii not just look at it and they chose the 3 best people for that, aspects of a community that we can connect to today. 6/7

🫧🔱Ariel Vanderberg🔱🫧 @arielvanderberg.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

I think there is wonderful underlying themes in this show, I'm sure there are other people they could have chosen to follow, evidence of other people that made it out or didn't but these were honestly the perfect choice. 5/7

🫧🔱Ariel Vanderberg🔱🫧 @arielvanderberg.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

And lastly the child. The boy who lost almost everything. He is innocence, he has no duty, he has no understanding he's just lost in the chaos trying to survive. 4/7

100

🫧🔱Ariel Vanderberg🔱🫧 @arielvanderberg.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

The faithful woman, the business woman. She is devotion, religion. And again, sacrifice. So grounded in her faith to Isis that she stayed behind to invoke the goddess to protect the people she sent to evacuate, truly believing that her prayers would make a difference. 3/7

100

🫧🔱Ariel Vanderberg🔱🫧 @arielvanderberg.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

The soldier, one of the best, he's seen the worst. He is duty, order, violence. And at the end of the day sacrifice. He stayed behind to keep organising people, opting to be the last man out of his sense of duty, service. 2/7

Just finished tom Hiddlestons Pompeii show. Fucking phenomenal truely. Well worth the watch. I cried 🤣🤣🤣 I love the 3 people it follows, a soldier, a faithful woman and a child. I feel like that gives such a perfect spectrum. 1/7

It's like they know about these stories but they don't actually know them and are just working off the vague vibe of what they've heard before which makes everything so janky and disconnected.

000

🫧🔱Ariel Vanderberg🔱🫧 @arielvanderberg.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

U can't use the same beats for different stories because the objectives will be different, I mean, FFS u can't use werewolf story beats with wendigo cuz theyre completely different beasts who work on different levels, same with doppelgangers - better yet ALIEN doppelgangers.

100

🫧🔱Ariel Vanderberg🔱🫧 @arielvanderberg.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

Until dawn just kinda hit a sweet spot, I suppose U would say lightning in a bottle and they're trying to catch it again but they're like almost using the same beats? If that makes sense and it's just forgettable at that point. Repetitive. Dull. Unimaginative.

100

🫧🔱Ariel Vanderberg🔱🫧 @arielvanderberg.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

and like I see the similarities, they're definitely playing on like folktales like the wendigo and doppelgangers and werewolves, like they are playing on the supernatural but like... It's just off 🤣 I barely remember the quarry. Didn't they do a ghost ship one too?

100

🫧🔱Ariel Vanderberg🔱🫧 @arielvanderberg.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

On another note for 8020, I sort of wonder if they are trying to match until dawn, cuz it's from the same Devs, but like that was a completely different vibe, like that was a bunch of like young adults acting like dumb kids (like any horror movie out in the middle of nowhere 🤣)

🫧🔱Ariel Vanderberg🔱🫧 @arielvanderberg.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

I want the freak alien to actually be a threat, to make me question if my colleagues are real or pustular blobs of mouldable flesh, GIVE ME THE FREAK 🤣🤣🤣 WHERES THE IMMERSION!

🫧🔱Ariel Vanderberg🔱🫧 @arielvanderberg.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

It's like the game holds Ur hand the entire way thru going "don't worry, everything ok actually" and it's like the dumbest shit ever. I want the freaky alien to confuse me.

100

🫧🔱Ariel Vanderberg🔱🫧 @arielvanderberg.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

or something to the same degree and thats why they had to sacrifice themselves but it's like. Not that at all. There's no... Question if Ur with real people or not, there's no risks.

100

🫧🔱Ariel Vanderberg🔱🫧 @arielvanderberg.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

I was so fucking down for that confusion, I thought the game was aliens that can mimic U trying to get to earth cuz I remember a game line in the ad of "directive 8020 dictates that the earth needs to be kept safe"

100

🫧🔱Ariel Vanderberg🔱🫧 @arielvanderberg.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

When the adverts were all over YouTube ages ago, the reason I got excited for it was cuz it was like a group of friends playing the game and then a delivery came at the door and it was one of the friends already inside.

100

🫧🔱Ariel Vanderberg🔱🫧 @arielvanderberg.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

Directive 8020 dropped the ball so hard. Like I was fully excited for doppelganger mayhem but like... Where is that? I get maybe like 3? Cases. Like, not that they were good cases but they were there and I caught myself going "oh is it now? Is now when it really kicks off?" But no.

AND now we have a spare so guess what... My brother's wife to be willing have a matching one too I'm a genius sometimes.

🫧🔱Ariel Vanderberg🔱🫧 @arielvanderberg.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

I found a matching pair that look identical to mine (bar some decorative components that I can add easily) I bought them. Now I just have to take pics of my parents stockings (and steal mine) so brothers looks like theirs, have them embroidered with names

🫧🔱Ariel Vanderberg🔱🫧 @arielvanderberg.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

I don't want it to not match everyone else's (we made up) She then says well we got these in the states 20 years ago and we can't buy them anymore, which is why brother's (her bio son) doesn't match. Well well well well. Guess who knows how to fucking shop. That's right sissy.
