#…and my first reaction was to blog about it…

[shadowedfaith048]

another @askoverkill theory, building off of my last one

This- this has to be confirmation right? Stardust?

Ok I’ll find some more

A Siffrin cloak under a rock

just like how ISAT Siffrin lost his first life

The directors reaction to Euphrasie’s monologue.

This doesn’t fit their “cheerfully insane” persona

like they have heard those lines too many times

really just the fact that it’s her monologue from ISAT makes me think this is ISAT Siffrin. An argument could be made for Comicfrin, but with everything else, I think it’s ISATfrin

So yeah. I’m even more certain that the Director is our little fella from ISAT.

My guess is things diverged in act 5, because I believe there are lines about wanting to keep the play going? No real evidence for that yet

anyway, all photos are from the same overkill blog, go check it out

thank you for coming to my frin talk

Oh, it's all good, don't worry about it. Forgiven, totally. If you look at my blog you'll note my recent posts and asks, your reaction wasn't entirely unfounded. My initial post was quite vehemently angry, and hostile, and I'm sure some dipshit out there will construe those things as I support rapists and lunatics. Sadly, not much I can do about it. I can explain it to them, but I can't understand it for them.

I think I've been angry for a while. But anger is not a safe emotion for me to experience due to my past, shall we say, shenanigans. I've worked hard over the last 17 years to modify my behavior and get a grip on the impulsive shooting off and verbal aggression (I used to be physically aggressive also, but am proud to say I have not had any serious incidents in adulthood).

Unfortunately there's some creep. (This is about me, not you or your response FYI.) Rehabilitation is a life-long process, it isn't like oh yeah I'm good now, clean slate. Temper has to be kept in balance, though. That's non-optional, for me. So if people are noting these early signs of hostility etc, now it's time to act and shut it down and remind myself what I came here to do.

Which is to help, reason, assist, reach out. To offer support, that kind of shit. Compassion and individual, first. Ha, needless to say, I never mind being informed when I've gone past the threshold. Ideally I would identify those situations first and not engage.

So beyond tired of leftist hypocrisy.

None of you care about genocide. You support the Houthis who genocided 200,000 people. None of you care about freeing Palestine. You support Hezbollah who murdered and starved 40,000 Palestinians in Yarmouk. None of you care about opposing colonialism. You shill for the IRGC who straight up stole Iran from the native Persians.

And you sure as shit don't care about rape when you have done nothing but screed about Intifada for a year and hold up "resistance by any means necessary" posters and "believe all women except Israelis." Only now we are expected to believe you're so morally opposed to Israelis chanting about rape? Get fucked. You don't care about rape, lmao.

We who have had a moral backbone this entire time? We get to condemn this. You're just fucking hypocrites, and we see you for what you are, utterly reprehensible pseudo-revolutionaries who let Trump win because muh Palestine and now Trump is destroying America and setting the stage to murder gays and immigrants and disabled people. But you freed Palestine, right?

Go back to screeding about how much you love slavery, rape and genocide when it happens to Jews.

Completely by accident, I triggered the dialogue about Giovanni for myself while trying to navigate the Sea of Stars and find something, so here's the entire fucking dialogue (after the rant, under the cut).

I have tried so goddamn hard to not be overly emotionally charged about the way I talk about this patch and I don't know if I've even managed that this whole time, but I am at my limit now. I legitimately feel sick to my stomach about this retcon.

I have never felt such hate for a character and the writing around them, both the narrative and their dialogue, for what it represents to this game. This really does feel like being told "fuck you for caring about the 1.0 story" not even just from this character, but from the company behind the game. I hate this so much.

Where the hell do we even go from here if they don't do a rollback? How do you even fix this kind of damage to your own story? It's like everything wrong with this patch can be summed up right here alongside that stupid seesaw and bathtub. And of course I can't stop second guessing my reaction to this. Am I being hyperbolic? Am I being stupid about this? Was I the stupid one all along for liking the story this game started? Fuck me I guess for thinking Giovanni's character was actually well written. Fuck me for thinking the 1.0 story was good. Fuck me for thinking all of 1.0-1.4 were fine content-wise. I guess none of my feedback about what I liked about the game mattered in the end because I'm just one person and the majority disliked what I loved, and those were the voices that got listened to when it came time to make the game bigger for the Steam release. What the actual hell are we even doing here anymore?

Here's a cute pic of my Nikki first though so I don't have to see the Seer first thing if I accidentally open this post when looking at my blog.

Having art prints on your walls is a great way to decorate your room but watch out bc these shits will randomly fall off the wall at any given time such as four thirty eight in the motherfucking morning and startle you and your dog awake.

I was just thinking about the through lines of Elizabeth's characterization and her relationship with Darcy, and I'm really fond of this one:

[Mrs Bennet:] “Ay, that is because you [Bingley] have the right disposition. But that gentleman,” looking at Darcy, “seemed to think the country was nothing at all.” “Indeed, mamma, you are mistaken,” said Elizabeth, blushing for her mother. “You quite mistook Mr Darcy.”

-

Elizabeth tried hard to dissuade him [Mr Collins] from such a scheme; assuring him that Mr. Darcy would consider his addressing him without introduction as an impertinent freedom, rather than a compliment to his aunt; that it was not in the least necessary there should be any notice on either side, and that if it were, it must belong to Mr Darcy, the superior in consequence, to begin the acquaintance. [...]with a low bow he left her to attack Mr Darcy, whose reception of his advances she eagerly watched, and whose astonishment at being so addressed was very evident. Her cousin prefaced his speech with a solemn bow, and though she could not hear a word of it, she felt as if hearing it all, and saw in the motion of his lips the words “apology,” “Hunsford,” and “Lady Catherine de Bourgh.”

-

In vain did Elizabeth endeavour to check the rapidity of her mother’s words, or persuade her to describe her felicity in a less audible whisper; for to her inexpressible vexation she could perceive that the chief of it was overheard by Mr Darcy, who sat opposite to them. [...] “For heaven’s sake, madam, speak lower. What advantage can it be to you to offend Mr Darcy? You will never recommend yourself to his friend by so doing.” Nothing that she could say, however, had any influence. Her mother would talk of her views in the same intelligible tone. Elizabeth blushed and blushed again with shame and vexation. She could not help frequently glancing her eye at Mr Darcy, though every glance convinced her of what she dreaded; for though he was not always looking at her mother, she was convinced that his attention was invariably fixed by her.

-

That he [Darcy] was surprised by the connection was evident: he sustained it, however, with fortitude: and, so far from going away, turned back with them, and entered into conversation with Mr Gardiner. Elizabeth could not but be pleased, could not but triumph. It was consoling that he should know she had some relations for whom there was no need to blush. She listened most attentively to all that passed between them, and gloried in every expression, every sentence of her uncle, which marked his intelligence, his taste, or his good manners.

Elizabeth was now most heartily sorry that she had, from the distress of the moment, been led to make Mr Darcy acquainted with their fears for her sister; for since her marriage would so shortly give the proper termination to the elopement, they might hope to conceal its unfavourable beginning from all those who were not immediately on the spot. She had no fear of its spreading farther, through his means. There were few people on whose secrecy she would have more confidently depended; but at the same time there was no one whose knowledge of a sister’s frailty would have mortified her so much. Not, however, from any fear of disadvantage from it individually to herself; for at any rate there seemed a gulf impassable between them.

-

During their [Elizabeth and Darcy's] walk, it was resolved that Mr. Bennet’s consent should be asked in the course of the evening: Elizabeth reserved to herself the application for her mother’s. She could not determine how her mother would take it; sometimes doubting whether all his wealth and grandeur would be enough to overcome her abhorrence of the man; but whether she were violently set against the match, or violently delighted with it, it was certain that her manner would be equally ill adapted to do credit to her sense; and she [Elizabeth] could no more bear that Mr Darcy should hear the first raptures of her joy, than the first vehemence of her disapprobation.

-

Lady Catherine had been rendered so exceedingly angry by the contents of her nephew’s letter, that Charlotte, really rejoicing in the match, was anxious to get away till the storm was blown over. At such a moment, the arrival of her friend was a sincere pleasure to Elizabeth, though in the course of their meetings she must sometimes think the pleasure dearly bought, when she saw Mr Darcy exposed to all the parading and obsequious civility of her husband.

-

"I [Lydia] am sure Wickham would like a place at court very much; and I do not think we shall have quite money enough to live upon without some help. Any place would do of about three or four hundred a year; but, however, do not speak to Mr Darcy about it, if you had rather not." As it happened that Elizabeth had much rather not, she endeavoured in her answer to put an end to every entreaty and expectation of the kind. Such relief, however, as it was in her power to afford, by the practice of what might be called economy in her own private expenses, she frequently sent them.

me, every time: oh, Elizabeth.

[mulders-too-large-shirt]

sometimes i don't even have a concrete explanation behind disliking an episode. sometimes it just sits weird in my gut. is that not reasoning enough?

[gemharvest]

ok fine motherfucker ill listen to your damn song again

[killjoy-prince]

YEA BABEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[venndaai]

spirit vs human cole is one of the best choices bioware ever put in a game i have to say

[fenrishion]

growing older is weird once you start becoming more emotionally mature than your parents and start realizing how emotionally instable they are and that none of these fuckers should be allowed to have kids in the first place

[rustedgate]

i dont think my body knows how to handle any remotely strong emotions

[ponytailzuko]

a lot of my posts are just like first time reactions to what sticks out to me but ill probably make a big post about my thoughts on the live action avatar series when i finish the whole thing and can assess it as a whole. ^_^ and also marinate on what i think about it a bit. so ive been saving any like... critique...? for later when i know where they're going with everything. anyways i literally only watched the first 2 episodes and im gonna rewatch them with a friend so it may take me a bit to get to ep 8. god bless.

[the-way-astray]

you deserve happiness and joy

i know. i’m so swag and so cool and all my opinions on fictional characters are so incredibly correct

[angorwhosebabyisthis]

i feel like i should start making more of an effort, when i talk about something in a piece of media being Upsetting to me, to distinguish between 'cathartic' upsetting and 'gave me psychic damage' upsetting. sometimes i mean OUGH OW MY FEELINGS THIS FUCKS ME UP IN A MEANINGFUL AND RESONANT WAY, MY LIFE IS ENRICHED FOR BECOMING AWARE OF IT and sometimes i mean that it is genuinely distressing and i want to shake the creators and ask what the fuck they were thinking

[journey-to-the-attic]

Can you tell me more about your new blorbos? I don't play genshin impact so the only thing I saw about them is that an attacking skill makes NPCs excited while a giant hat terrifies NPCs

oh my god i would LOVE to (everything else is under the cut since there are genshin 4.0 spoilers and also i go on for a bit)

okay so this is lyney (right) and lynette (left). they are twins, lyney being the older one, and in their show lyney's the magician and lynette his assistant. and they are so so so so precious to me

first of all they have a matching idle animation plus a matching idle voiceline (lyney (paraphrased) has "i wonder how my dear sister is doing... missing me to death, i'm sure!", and lynette (as if in reply) has "sounds like lyney's saying weird things again..."

but that's like surface-level stuff. once you get into their backstory.....

it starts out fairly tame for genshin standards - they were orphaned at a young age and wandered the streets, taking up magic as a means to earn money before getting taken in by a (seemingly) well-meaning aristocrat - who turns out to be using lyney for his magic tricks to gain favour in his social circles, and... basically traffics lynette.

also the cn va absolutely smashed it because lyney's distress is PALPABLE when he relates this bit. and it's no wonder that these two cherish each other so much, they were so close to losing each other forever

and then you get into their character stories and voice lines and it's gut punch after gut punch like

their banter in quests is adorable AND THEY BOTH GAIN VISIONS OUT OF THEIR WANT TO KEEP EACH OTHER SAFE!! THEY ARE SO HHHHHHHHHH

and!! AND!!!!! AS IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH!! WHEN THEY FALL IN BATTLE THEY CALL OUT FOR EACH OTHER
