When the shit jumps off what the fuck you gonna do

Holy shit Elder Scrolls Online
I signed an NDA saying I wouldn't talk about it or they'd ban me but who gives a shit
being banned from that steaming pile would be the greatest favor anyone has done me in the last year.
I don't know what the fuck they're thinking like holy Christ on a cross.
Character customization in an Elder Scrolls game?
Fuck off. We can just have the same 5 boring MMO jobs and dress it up a bit with skills that level independent of each other except not really because who will use healing staves as a thief--
no one.
Also the game has bad controls.
I know that seems impossible because MMOs are maybe the genre where controls matter the least but this game has bad controls.
I swear it's true. I have never played an MMO that felt floaty before.
 And remember I was addressing the plot and how it makes no sense to give it any sort of mystery because we know for a fact none of this shit matters because the games that have already come out don't even mention this supposedly important event when they still talk about Arena which was literally 15 years ago real life time and in game it was hundreds?
Yeah they further cripple themselves by having the typical "you are fated to save the world" plot.
Like how is that even possible?
Is everyone playing this game fated to save the world?
How?
If I'm fated to save the world why all the tension?
It's going to happen.
God fuck that game holy shit I'm so disappointed
ANOTHER GREAT GAMING SERIES RUINED BY THE LURE OF WORLD OF WARCRAFT MONEY.
I went for a nice long hike today at the park. About three miles, just me.

It felt great.
You know what doesn't feel great?
The Elder Scrolls Online.
In a fit of nostalgia (or maybe just to pull myself out of the desert of non-fandom things) I've been having a resurgence of love for a lot of fandoms. Last year was the first time Cowboy Bebop was Yuletide-eligible and I got a great Bebop/Go the Fuck to Sleep crossover. This year I requested and offered Bebop.
Cowboy Bebop has a great soundtrack.
Great animation
great story.
10/10 would watch.
You know what's a great idea for a show principally about loss, wandering and not finding your place in the world all set to blues music?
Tons of poorly written fanfiction.
You know, because the show with these lines:
The real folk blues
I only want to know what true sadness is
Sitting in muddy water
Isn't such a bad life
If it ends after the first time
in its ending theme is really going to lend itself well to a bunch of bints writing xDfanfic!!!
That's one of those shows that was such a masterstroke of storytelling sometimes I can't even fucking believe it.
You watch all of the episodes and you want more but at the same time you don't because there is absolutely nothing further to add to the story. It did exactly what it should have done.
In conclusion why the fuck are you writing fanfiction about it?
The characters can't be fleshed out further. It is literally a character study of about 7 people.
So who's finished reading Allegiant and what did you think?

ETA: expect spoilers in comments, naturally.
I'm a grown adult so I don't read books for children.
Sorry m8.
A tiny rant first:

So what is the deal with these twitter spammers favoriting old and irrelevant tweets? The profiles are ridiculous. Check this one out:

I'm a SPED teacher/coordinator in the Bronx. I provide interesting links on education, sustainabilit

redmond, washington. usa
Okay, last I looked, Redmond is nowhere near the Bronx. 
I have no idea what any of this means.
Who cares?
Is your life so devoid of problems you have to resort to finding issues with people on Twitter?
Good for you, then.
Your life is amazing.
