THE SCANNER SERIES: THE EARLY YEARS [Official NBC Press Release including 35mm slides for Mr. Rhodes - dated: November 6, 1996]

[astradyke]

being very truthful i wasn't feeling particularly positive about the trailer for TIT (still bought tix though hi nyc <3) and am holding out hope they do a little more teasing for what this tour is actually about in future videos,

but i cannot deny that this specific frame of it

("we basically raised half of them." - phil)

like very specifically got me? like obviously yes the bit is like, they're our dads i started watching them age twelve et cetera but. i don't know. with the way all of this is laid out, the contrasting colors that blend together and the silhouettes on their respective sides (as we always view them, dan to the left & phil to the right) and the screens, it says so loudly like... it's dan and phil, side by side. it's the two of them. it's been them for the last fifteen years.

it's a we, it's a testament that this kinda sacred thing of 'dan and phil' has lasted a really long time, and survived a hiatus, solely because dan and phil themselves have known each other and existed alongside each other for those fifteen years. and yes, obviously, this trailer is all scripted, but this exchange still has this feeling of it being about them, not just their brand together-- they aren't really talking to the audience, here, are they? it wasn't solely 'dan and phil' content that raised the audience; dan and phil did. (maybe a redundant point, but i am working off of the negative space here. a lot of this feels like intertwining themselves with their online personas, and simultaneously walking that line. letting us see only what they want to be shown, and now examining that introspectively).

i hope that makes sense, i'm not much of an analyst or theorist. i don't know what the dan and phil renaissance really is yet, and i am a bit afraid of it all, but i'm really excited, both for everything that's to come but also -- more importantly -- i'm just fucking excited for them.

for this bond between them and the phandom to blossom in the healthy ways it has been lately, for the opening of new doors amidst this phan renaissance... and for them to take back what the internet took from them.

Saw a review for one of the Anne books that LMM was "filling it with her ideas on God and politics" as a very unfavorable thing. Like. My dude. You were the one who chose to read a book series written by a minister's wife who grew up in the 1870s and 1880s. There's no way it wasn't going to have that in it

Awww, devs bullying samurais by taking their damage away while buffing other melees

[mtkanna]

jakob, rene and the narzissenkreuz ordo have connections to quite a few of the playable characters, which i think is. quite funny actually

j&r leave their notes in hangeh afrasiyab -> klingsor and the abyss -> klingsor's blood feud w/ the alberich family -> totally normal guy kaeya

j&r institute research -> samples of elynas, chasm mud, scarlet quartz -> elynas and durin -> albedo and the primordial human project

j&r establish the ordo -> neuvillette and a legislative response, probably

j&r learn about the hyperborea ~500 years ago -> childe is named after the same hyperborean legend and is now intertwined with the primordial sea

rene page 8 -> nahida, wanderer, and the idea of samsara

rene and the picnic at petrichor -> the hydro hypostasis -> kokomi

Augh i hate that whenever someone says "what do you think the giant skulls in caeling belonged to" people will shout it down with "oh they're probably fungal growth" like no?? We literally see them in the mountaintopsnof the giants like wth???

[molagboop]

I just think it would be fun to make Raven Beak smooch Samus' other dads.

anon who asked about chasind headcanons, i am not ignoring you, that is actually step 3 of my current project:

gather all chasind lore in existence

organise it into something coherent

fill in the gaps

unfortunately i have been on step 1 for about 2 weeks and it is currently a 130 page document and will still take a while to finish

but i am getting there!!! and i have formed many headcanons in the process about all kinds of things

[superbellsubways]

def go for it whenever you have the money to!

[rathologic]

anon thanks for sending that comment re: biphobia in a recently reblogged daniil-eva comic, I appreciate that you did decide to message me about it! absolutely my bad. that's a blind spot for me as a bisexual who calls myself gay a lot of the time (although, seeing op's tags should have clarified they were depicting the two as not bisexual), but the real-world harm in showing a gay man and gay woman together is something I should've been attentive to, especially with the gender dynamic in Eva being the canonically bi character. rb deleted, I'll be keeping it in mind in the future 👍

i really did Not want to talk about mara this season because it’s not worth the discourse and harassment but uhhh some of her dialogue about uldren is really....

....fuck, nope, i can’t sugarcoat this.

bungie is treading way too close to the honor thy abuser trope and i do not like it.
