Also during the precious temporary ceasefire the IOF didnt actually stop killing people so

Exactly!! People were celebrating that first call for a ceasefire… and then reports kept coming out about Israeli terrorists abducting and killing people, just at a lower volume (which, compared to the absolutely atrocious scale they’re operating on now, does not mean much). Even when there’s a ruling in place it’s not even enforceable

mayhaps this is a hot take but I truly dislike “Loid gets murderous and overprotective of Anya dating Damian” content

like. there are sm reasons I dislike it

first off, just fundamentally, I hate that trope. I think parents being protective of children in general is cute, and even maybe protective against their partners to an extent, but it rlly feeds into the Western (esp American) notion of parents owning their children. it gets even grosser when it’s the dad and his daughter, it’s just a branch of ‘women and their purity having to be guarded until they’re properly married’ sexism

secondly, if this is pre-reveal (either Damian comes over/talks to Anya in front of Loid and it’s p obvious he has a crush, so Loid, of course, course notices, OR somehow, post-canon yet not revealed, they get together), Loid would absolutely use that to advance Operation Strix lol

obviously Loid is NOT a bad or uncaring father, he is absolutely not that, BUT he does also very vehemently care about achieving world peace thru his spy work, AND ANYA UNDERSTANDS AND EVEN AGREES WITH THIS (to the highest extent she can as a child, at least). he would never partake in extensive manipulation that’d harm Anya emotionally (or even Damian tbh, his whole goal is to create a world where no children have to cry) but he would DEFINITELY encourage their relationship in order to eventually, somehow get to Desmond the ghoul-eyed freak

thirdly, even if this is POST-reveal, I still don’t think Loid would be unreasonable. sure, he may apprehensive due to Damian’s family and more concrete examples of Anya growing up (MAYBE bc honestly I think Loid would be ecstatic with every milestone in Anya’s life considering how genuinely supportive and proud of her that he is) BUT. but

he, again, not only wants to create a world where no children have to cry, so he clearly values the youth and their quality of life, but ALSO KNOWS abt how shitty Damian’s father is. personally, I think he’d be GLAD that Damian has a safe place to come to, with ppl who’ll support him (unconsciously, bc Loid is very oblivious to his own emotions lmao)

anyways, tldr; the “Loid being super hostile to Damian dating Anya” trope is tired and sucks and we should move onto appreciating a trope that honours the CORE of sxf, more found family, where Damian joins the Forgers, even before he and Anya potentially marry (even before they date if possible tbh)

There's something poetic about the parallel journeys of Ryuk & Light's boredom. Both begin the story by doing something incredibly rash to try to escape mundanity, and by consequence of that action, meet someone that alleviates that feeling and makes them feel alive again. Then they eliminate that person due to circumstance, without much consideration for the long-term internal impact that will have on their future; and slowly re-descend into boredom and meaninglessness, never fully realizing their attachment to the person they killed and that they might actually miss them.

The way they react in opposite ways to their person's replacement is interesting too, though. Light reacting to Near with disdain because he could never replace L in his mind. And Ryuk specifically choosing Minoru because he reminds him of Light. Choosing is interesting to me because it's something Ryuk scoffed at, and made fun of Light for assuming. And yet, here he's doing just that.

L changed Light, and while the bond between Light and Ryuk is of a different shade, Light changed Ryuk, too.

Had a terrible dream that my DnD character almost died for real forever in our DnD session last night.

....... Wait.

One of my favorite things that happened during my last mage Hawke playthrough was during the final battle against Meredith. Everything's going well. We're kicking her ass, she's got just this much health left, we're so close... but then everyone gets stunned dizzy.

Hawke is stumbling around all confused, seeing stars. The rest of his companions are stunned. I'm annoyed because I just want to end this fight. Don't know how or who did it, probably Meredith, but the situation's dire.

Meredith's standing by herself at the center of the Gallows, shouting nonsense and smugly believing the Maker's going to come down and make her his new bride after she murdered a bunch of innocent people.

Truly, this is the part of the story where Varric says they all thought hope was lost, that in the end, Meredith would pull a fast one on us and claim victory...

Until the REAL hero of dragon age 2 comes storming at her. I don't know why Carver was the only one to not be affected, but he literally jumped out of no where and just started bashing Meredith with his sword while everyone else was too dizzy to do anything until she was dead and the cutscene played.

"Hawke defeated Meredith-" LIES, VARRIC. I know the truth! I was there! Hawke didn't do shit! Carver Hawke was the main character all along! He got shit done and Varric gave Hawke all the credit!

I bring this up because last night I finished my warrior Hawke run and when we got to the fight with Meredith, I kind of hoped the same thing would happen where Bethany dashed in all heroic and got the killing blow on Meredith.

She did not.

She got squished by a statue.

But it's fine, Bethany Hawke was the true main character in my heart.

I'm watching back Phil getting pranked and just...this mans [corvid?].

The lightning quick attack with his sword before it could explode, slaying it within seconds of being thrown into the situation.

The fact he then gets the loot and is like "oooo I got something cool out of it"

Fixes his inventory.

Complains about being now stuck underground instead of the trap someone[s] set.

Proceeds to dig upwards.

Finds a cave, goes exploring entirely unbothered and singing Radioactive by Imagine Dragons after he starts glowing green.

He's got that main character energy.

suzanne collins - the least subtle character namer in history- names a character we know to be murdered as a young girl 'Lenore' and ppl think it's reading too far into things to start talking about E.A. Poe?

what happened to Thinking????

I've been thinking about this for a while now, but do you think if you poured water on Kuukou, would his hair go flat? Or does his hair defy all laws of physics and stays the same while Jyushi and Hitoya stand there like wet cats?

it defies the laws of gravity lmao like we actually got an arb card of this!!!!!!!

if you zoom in really really closely you’ll see that not even the force of a waterfall flattens that hair of his lol
