#AND the opportunist idc idc

[frogatz]

comedy // tragedy

[sforzesco]

it’s by divine intervention only that I’m not constantly posting about the bullshit cycle of Filipino politics here because the fucking presidential family is turning my home province into a puppet state and the wife of the assassinated governor is gearing up for a dynasty run in office and people are going to vote for her because they feel bad that her husband got murdered instead of seeing authoritarian assimilation and a dynast take over for what it is. The next election is not an election if all the players ahead of time have begun to form a united coalition with the backing of a fascist family.

instead I simply crack Crassus open like a walnut and start yelling really loud into his rib cage.

[deadqueernoldor]

Nghhh chewing on finweans and realizing how self-sacraficial is so deeply instilled in that family, and that that particular trait is prevalent in each generation.

Finwe knew he couldnt win against Morgoth, but he could try and protect his grandchildren. He fought regardless.

Fingolfin knew he couldnt twin against Morgoth in 1-on-1. He fought regardless.

Finrod knew he would die on his quest for Beren, and still fought the wolf to save his friend. He did.

Celebrimbor knew he could protect others by dying, protecting the knowledge about the rings. He did.

It stands to reason that Elladan, Elrohir or Arwen, would have come upon a similar fate.

[voiceofthesilly]

If I could put one extra voice in a second chapter id put opportunist in the tower. Cannot imagine a more useless companion there and it'd be absolutely hilarious

Slay the princess swap au part 11

(Smitten/damsel route)

Can’t wait to take a lot of time drawing the burned grey route version of him (not even being sarcastic I have so many ideas)

Cw: you stab him, he dies, that should explain enough

Congratulations you can killed a bird next part you kill your self and you’ll see the voice of the witch 💪 (idc if it should be he spectre cus she swapped the cold but she would not behave that way, although some stuff has changed I want to keep the personalities of everyone pretty similar but tweaked)

Thing I’m pretty sure I haven’t mentioned that I want to is the claws are long because in the last chapter of you try to kill the monster but warn him you see the claws are super long, the smitten, the hunted, and the opportunist all will have long claws since the princess in this version saw the monster slice its leg trying to escape the bear trap and in the og game the princess got more animalistic if you saw her chew on her wrist(not the damsel though but I wanted to keep a consistent thing with the smitten opportunist and hunted)

I know people love the Fallout Show and I'm probably poking the Hornets nest with this but legit i really can't be assed to watch it

Spoilers below.

SPOILERS. BELOW.

So the Show retcons Fallout New Vegas.

I don't care what some Exec says on Twitter about them not retconning it, they did. Why else would they have destroyed the NCR via a Nuke for some Vault bullshit (one of Todds big fetishes. Yes, Vaults are important to the games but Todd specifically has a weird obsession with them. I cannot explain it well but if you look at FO3, FO4 and FO76 you get the feeling that he wants the Vaults to be of more importance than the world outside in the wastes. That and the weird way of everything that was rebuilt to be destroyed soon after) and the destroyed remains of New Vegas proper in the end credits.

The reasons can be many but the one that is true to me personally is that Todd is, like many other rich white guys, a manbaby who cannot take not being praised as the best.

FNV is and had been a Thorn in his side for years now and I am very sure when I say that the shows "subplot" of everything FNV related in the show being shown as destroyed etc to be nothing more than him finally trying to get rid of this boogeyman that he can't cope with.

At best it's the showrumners being absolute morons about the lore (like fr. If Shady sands was destroyed in 2277 which is the same year as the First Battle of Hoover Dam, would the NCR still expand into the Mojave? Prolly not they'd regroup and mount a defense in California proper against opportunistic enemies like the Legion)

At worst it was, as described above, Todd Howard trying to ruin the last great game in the series (Idc what you think about FO4 it's lame, badly written and the gunplay is just copypaste FPS Slop)

Idk if i wanted to come to a conclusion or anything so

Tl:Dr: don't watch the show, buy new vegas and make Todd mald. Hey I'll even give Mod recommendations to make FNV even more of a blast to enjoy.

Did some Grocery Outlet opportunistic shopping recently and I knew I shouldn't have done it but there were boxes of 72 Fruit Roll Ups for like $7 and I couldn't help myself and I've been binging on them the last two days and I just brought the box to my bf to take it from me... He had just mentioned possibly wanting a couple anyway but he can even throw them away idc lol I just can't have them around me/know where they are. There are few things that I literally cannot have in the house, like Fruit Roll Ups or Fruit by the Foot or Gushers or certain brands of fruit snacks; I cannot control myself, they are my weakness hahaha. A regular 6-count box on my birthday or something could get a pass but this recent purchase was just irresponsible...

All this sugar is almost absolutely the cause of the headache(s) I've been having the last few days too. 😣

Desserts/sweets are the hardest for me in general. If I want to keep a dessert in the house, it's best I keep it to one option at a time too; having multiple options doesn't mean one night I'll have on thing and one night I'll have the other - I'll just eat them in tandem lol.

I did get back to the gym a couple days ago which was really nice, felt good to revalidate that part of myself. The prior week I had been at the lake and the week before that I had taken time resting from serious DOMS I caused at my previous workout. I just went way too hard on my abs and they're a more neglected muscle group for me as it is, so I was literally sore for a week (meaning the first few days were especially awful). I had wanted to get back for another workout today but it's going to be tomorrow instead, but that works out actually (no pun intended) since I have a half day at work.

From Tuesday. Just did general whole body workout to kick out the cobwebs, and I did not go too hard on my abs or anywhere else this time lol.

‪i'm tired of michael russo from the athletic saying on twitter (and on his article) that bob "stole" game one because the oilers "certainly deserved better". as far as i know, a goalie is part of the team and not only he was phenomenal, the boys scored when they had the chance to do so (i expect florida to be better against edmonton's speed next game).

yeah like!!! in some ways i don’t mind the framing of bob stealing the game because he’s gotten shafted on coverage the past three rounds because of who he’s gone up against (and beaten, so THERE!) so i don’t mind some pumping of the bob tires. but then again i do notttt think it was as lopsided as some of the analytics might suggest — corey sznajder’s microstats tracking had the oil much less dominant, and everybody simply what? forgot about score effects? the cats struck decisively and opportunistically, improved every period after a veryyy lackluster first, and held their lead despite the oil push + successfully killed three penalties on the night. they deserved the win idc what the canadian media says lmfao. at the end of the day the only numbers that count are the goals and one team had 3 and the other had 0. so!!!

[starleska]

RAAAAH I got a job interview for my dream career field, my autism evaluator is deciding how Afflicted and Afflicted with what I am, I'm well rested, and I've had a great time talking to people today! I believe I am finally blinded by the hubris of my victories enough to tell you (and whoever may be following the saga of my ramblings in your askbox) what my Latest Fixation is! You can just dm if I say anything inane in my post-pleasant day delirium, or you can put me on blast, idc idc I'm losing my mind rn, I'm rotating this show in my head so fast.

👉👈 so...The show is called Longmire. It's an American, contemporary western, crime drama from 2012 based on the book series of the same name. It follows the titular Sheriff Walt Longmire as he tries to get his life together after the loss of his wife and solve crimes in his county and whatever he can around the neighboring Native American Reservation.

I say "whatever he can" bc The Reservation isn't actually within his jurisdiction and he's barely allowed to be there, bc they have their own police force, and THAT'S where THE GUY I keep trying to tell you about without telling you about comes in!

👉👈so...he's Tribal Police Chief Mathias Clark. Yeah I gotta say the whole thing.

We're first introduced to him when he tries to beat the ever-loving cowboy out of our protagonist for daring to show his face on The Reservation after arresting his boss, the previous Tribal Police Chief (albeit for crimes he did commit, but Walt didn't even wait for the federal police like he was supposed to, but...it was complicated, ok?)

I think he walks this nice line between upholding the law above all else; doing things often more by-the-book than any other character; being calculated and calm and sane (...despite that introduction); and, at the same time, being fiercely protective of his people and culture; considering Sheriff Walt and co. to be opportunistic, reckless, disrespectful threats and scarcely cutting them any slack and still giving them trouble when he finally does in any investigations that may lead them onto his jurisdiction; being willing to kick and bite (and occasionally blackmail, uh oh) to achieve everything he can for the good and well-being of his people on The Reservation, even if the people refuse to trust another Police Chief, or if it may cost someone else.

Ultimately, he holds the law in a very high regard but holds his people and culture higher. He's very limited in what he can do, as a tribal police chief, and he's set on being fair, but he'll do anything he possibly can to make The Reservation safe and ensure the people on it a good future. <3

Also he's got a lot of attitude and sass and is constantly mad at Walt and loves his people sm and its very endearing and funny and also don't fact check anything I've said today with a real long-time fan of the series unless I made him sound unlikable, I hope you're doing well plz take care okay bye AGAGGHAAAAA THE POST RANT CLARITY-

LORELEI YOU LITTLE LEGEND OMGGGG!!!!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 honey i am so, so proud of you, that is absolutely amazing!!!! wow - makes me feel a lot better about a rough month that it's balanced out into a good time for a pal, eh? 🥰 ohoho FIXATION TIME!!! okay okay i am sitting cross-legged and listening eagerly :3c wow!!!!! oh my goodness first of all this show sounds so cool, i'm adding it to the watchlist immediately 👀 and second, hello Tribal Police Chief Mathias Clark!!! he sure is a handsome guy 😳😳 and from everything you've said about him, quite the catch (and exactly the kind of man you tend to fall for 😉) :3c he sounds like a wonderfully principled man who isn't afraid to protect those he cares about most...and you know what? i reckon you falling for him is a sign that you feel you deserve to be taken care of. which you do. that is so, so wonderful 💖🙈

i can imagine this is a series which touches on a lot of prevalent issues to do with the erasure of Native American culture and safety at the hands of American racism and police brutality...would you say this show does a good job of portraying that? it's not a subject i'm overly versed in being from the UK, and i'd love to get a better grounding on that even if in a fictionalised context. i'm not sure if you'd recommend the tv show or the books first, but you've certainly got me curious 👀 interesting that the first thing which comes up when you google his name is fanfiction - clearly you've got some competition in the fanbase, eh? 😉 you'd better be inviting me to the wedding!!! 🥳🥳🥳

[cherienymphe]

I always thought Keira would come out as bi. Or at least someone would come out as bi. I’m honestly kinda shocked in 3 seasons there’s been absolutely no lgbtq characters at all

Kie could've come out as a lesbian or bi and both would've made sense. JJ is bi. You can't tell me he's not. He reminds me of Jeremy from TSITP. Equal opportunist. Sarah is bi idc what anyone says. Truthfully, the only straight one in my mind is John B 😭

[jewishbarbies]

(This from a casual listener since 2010)

for me her music till rep was rewindably good and post 2017 felt weird.. idc much about her love life but quantity and quality music aren't just the same and what with her travelling cross country/states and carbon emission sends a wrong signal. And the breakup. The narrative is furiously controlled by her team.

Anyway how are you?

i was going through A Time when reputation came out and i ate that shit up because, admittedly, there was a lot i didn't know/understand yet and my music taste wasn't as varied as i thought. but looking back on it, it's okay sonically and she has some good runs, but i don't see it as this epic comeback album. it's just another taylor album. then she puts out lover and that's pretty okay, but then she puts out back to back albums (and the worst song no one liked on lover was the precursor apparently, which says a lot) of songs that all sound vaguely the same and just aren't great lyrically, and she's constantly re-releasing songs and now has midnights and it's like lady, pls, just stop. give people time to breathe. you're cramming all this into a clearly packed schedule because you wanted it to line up with your themed tour, but now you just look opportunistic and desperate, and you're even more annoying.

taylor swift has never handled a pr incident well in her entire career because her strategy is to just bury whatever story comes out and ignore it so it goes away. then later it was to deflect and shift blame before ignoring it completely. neither is a good look and just makes people who already don't like her dislike her even more. like. you're not winning anyone new over with that attitude and approach to wrongdoing. if you were so great and awesome you would, like, accept accountability and do better? it's not hard and, if anything, HELPS her image because she's being honest, transparent, and responsible. THAT'S what a good role model for young girls does. not whatever this fucking shit is.

(i'm doing okay! clawing my way out of a depression low currently, but i could absolutely be doing worse.)

[bisluthq]

She’s often out sober? She never misses a show. She produces great work. Her life is reasonably together for someone who’s had 20 years of a highly unusual life. I think you probably are too deep in your Annie Grace era (a fraudulent opportunist imo) if you’re so judgemental and intolerant of another person having a drink. Perhaps think about why Taylor Swift (rich bitch stranger - you called it) holding vodka cranberry and smiling and being affectionate to her boyfriend is always so triggering for you. There are no other messy signs of a problem. She’s 34 and has no kids at home that she’s slobbing on and she’s on a tour break. Relax.

…. when is she often out sober lol except at work (where I’m not even sure she’s sober 😂😂😂😂😂). I mean idc but idk why you do. This lady drinks a lot and normalizes drinking a lot (hardly the first person to - she does this through public behavior and lyrics). Also dunno what Annie Grace did to you or what alcohol did to you to make you its bestie. Drink, don’t drink, do whatever the fuck u want, but like… also why are we so caught up on “problem”?? I hate that. It’s not a “problem” necessarily but MOST people in western society could cut back on alcohol dude. Go to like a shop and see all the alcohol merch and ask yourself why we think that’s normal or admirable? Why do we want people to not be sober? Why do we think it’s “cool”? Again do what you want, I really don’t give a fuck, but you cannot deny Taylor drinks a lot. Also many people are super fucking functional and take a lot of substances. And “problem” discourse ain’t it for me btw.

[ayinglair]

Bro

Jself reminder to switch it out from just being lan zhan bc idc anymore

Equal opportunist dumbass come and get it

[zot3-flopped]

To be fair, there's photographic evidence of H and Niall hanging out on two separate occasions post 1d, and none for Lilo and Harry.

We can agree that Niall is an opportunist and use harry for clout and also agree that harry doesn't hate Niall. They are not close friends but he at least tolerates him. We forget that harry is genuinely a nice person. He's not going to hate someone just because they are copying him. He's the biggest popstar rn. His influence will be everywhere now. He's friends with James Corden and Kendell Jenner😂. As long as they are nice and supportive to harry idc. And yah harries need to stop pity stanning Niall just cause just because harry tolerates him.

He doesn't hate Niall. They're friends who meet up occasionally.

[pareidolla]

okay okay so! took forever but here's basically a rundown of all my reactions to the pristine cut update in list form! part one since i haven't been able to replay certain routes just yet but i'm excited for tomorrow

THE FURY (TOWER)

well obviously i made a beeline for whumping my sapphic archnemesis tower. i love her dearly and it genuinely hurt me to kill her myself but i need content for my whumpfics

 immediately got heart palpitations seeing broken i love you i love you i love you! (it's really hot how upset he is here jsdifhsjaj)

  ... i really need to check if broken/stubborn have unique lines for leaving fury now since they didn't in the original and it KILLED me. alas oblivion ending will have to wait!

 unfortunately i wanted to see my lovely sad wife happy and ending up getting rewound fury which was already shown off in the livestream. vv excited to try and see a different ending with tower!

THE PRINCESS AND THE DRAGON

okay me. you can do this. you can handle the bisexual panic attack cabin now

(i did not infact handle the bisexual panic attack cabin. why do they sound like that-!)

i now understand what damsel must've felt like stabbing us over and over because the IMMEDIATE GUILT i felt upon exorcising spectre. like oh my god. why am i here? why am i killing her? she just wanted to leave! wasn't even mean abt it! just wanted the one little thing! baby i'm sorry!!!!!

but i mean cold's into it then i'm into it vivalarevolucionbaby

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BOYS?? FUCK THE BODY!! IDC ABT IT!! ONLY BODIES FEAR PAIN!!! MY FUCKING BOYS!!!!!

yeah i'm gagged by the perspective switch.

and also crying

my god

spectre

the woman you are

absolutely not deserving of your forgiveness and understanding

my hero/princess shipping heart is over the moon abt spectre liking hero but. but i really love spectre/cold! but i can't even defend his ass like yeah man was kinda weird, and i can't even fault him for that either cos he's weird to everyone.

THE TITLE CARDS ARE CANON???

what the fuck. what the fuck? what the fuck! what the fuck!!!!

IF I'M HERE IN THE PRINCESS THEN WHO'S COMING DOWNSTAIRS??

this is the first time the game has ever scared me. i was actually shaking waiting for our shambling body to descend and my fucking god we're a UNIT

(i immediately forgive tower for winning a fight and deciding she's god now like. yea if i took out this fucking beast? yeah you deserve your accolades babe) • fortunately opportunist starts talking and ofc the fear is immediately replaced with blushing. i immediately get why the heroine in stheroine was checking tlq now. the little dangling motion oppy makes with the knife? im going to pass out

god after literally seeing things from her perspective - deciding to free the princess afterwards felt so good and earned! honestly might be my favorite route now holy shit

ALSO. WHAT ARE THE OTHER VOICES COLORS. BTG I NEED TO KNOW WHAT BROKEN'S COLOR IS, YOU CAN'T JUST-

THE CAGE

see this one is funny cos i was playing with my brother and mentioned i was a little unsure how to get her

kept talking over the game since we've already played through prisoner. read out the chapter's title offhandedly before zooming in

paranoid was my first voice and I AM SO THRILLED cos i've alwaaaaays wanted a parskep route. absolutely love seeing their differences and similarities laid out in this route

"it has happy in the name!" oh they could never make me hate you narrator

took the knife with me (hero is absolutely wrong abt the "knife giving us more options" but i still listen to it anyway for new routes) which locked me into the 'no exit ending.' after rewound fury and princess/dragon it felt a little redundant to be separated from the voices again, but there's a clear theme here that i enjoy!

... and also i have a feeling i know how to reach the new ending now which i'm very excited to test out

MOMENT OF CLARITY + DEN

putting these two together because

I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION AND FUCKED UP GETTING BEAST and it literally killed me because i didn't save so i had to commit. fortunately moc's new design is peak and i enjoyed seeing it!

unfortunately the second time i tried getting beast i fucked up again! witch showed up and i just spedrun getting my back broken

and then, after two botched attempts at getting beast, my two den runs immediately got snatched up by shifting mound lmao. which was my fault i think! i tried fleeing with stubborn then fighting den with skeptic which was a recipe for disaster. still a little dissapointed that i got to spend like, five seconds with den at most tho

THE EPILOGUE

oh. yeah im going to need to confess something

i'm not the biggest smitten fan. arguably my least favorite voice. which i feel bad abt because i love princes and romantics and characters who're kinda obsessive and weird but the way smitten acts sometimes just. Gives Me The Ick. multiple instances where my stomach just straight up flipped because i was reminded of weird guys in highschool

AND I FEEL BAD COS HE'S SO MUCH BETTER THAN THEM! LIKE HE'S AN INTERESTING CHARACTER IN HIS OWN RIGHT I NEED TO PUT RESPECT ON HIS NAME. I WANT TO LOVE HIM SO SO SO BADLY

but then i watch smitten literally tear out our ribcage to reveal our beating heart to damsel and i'm over here just massaging my temples in exasperation. sir. sir please this is a wendy's

but hey! para showed up again! (contrarian get up you are losing the herobowl rn)

parahero joy immediately dashed cos oh god smitten. smitten. smitten my guy. i know and do not judge your sincere attempts at making epilogue happy in this bleak world BUT YOU ARE SCARING THE HOES (ME!!!!!)

this is great lore however and i do admire how much his sheer dedication to damsel managed to influence the entire cabin

obviously i'm not a monster and deciding to mutually leave with epilogue. i still need to pick through my thoughts on the ending cos... hm. i didn't like the route as much as dragon but i liked what it did! the dance was darn sweet

APOTHEOSIS

tower whumpfic content 2.0

was a little dissapointed i accidentally got connie instead of paranoid (i wanted parabroken <3) but honestly i kinda live for how contrarian's nature seems to have thrown broken's devout nature off its vibe? he kinda read less "brainwashed cultist" since he was constantly snapping at cont, and i think that's cute. contbrok rights

"what are you going to do? give her a scratch?" lives in my mind rent free i NEED to draw this oh he's so miserable and sassy i need him bad

i usually would've submitted to make my wife happy but i was quite curious on if the needle piercing apo's eye would've actually killed her and. i'll be damned!

kills me that she immediately started blasting before we got broken's reaction like man... i wanted to see his reaction to his grand goddess dying from a toothpick. like what do you even say to that. of course he still loves her but is the reverence still there???? is it??

i NEED to do a second playthrough with para tomorrow gaaaaaaah

THE FURY (ADVERSARY)

straight up decided to die obviously to get my wife but wasn't actually expecting much differences between adv!broken and tower!broken. sure some perspective changes but he'd just be more scared than upset here, right?

oh my god i was wrong

oh my fucking god

immediately started choking up when broken kept noting how lost the fury seemed and how she just wanted connection and how we need to forgive her

AND THE FACT HE STAYS WITH YOU AFTER THE UNWOUND BECAUSE HE'S ALREADY BEEN BROKEN?

GOD

WHAT DO I EVEN

this entire section is just me gushing over broken but you don't understand this is my first w is such a long time

i hope you can feel my joy and excitement over this cos i was kicking my feet and screaming into pillows

i never even entertained the thought of getting to leave with fury and the fact broken alone allows you to- i'm just

esp the end scene with just you and him alone and he urges you to go look at the mirror. dies.

oh my god i need to draw

THE CAGE (PT 2)

yes the cage gets a second part. why? more broken screaming

i actually didn't discover him organically i peeked at the discord server and saw broken was included so i hurried over as fast as i could. kept banging my head as i kept getting cheated but i managed to get him at last!

(btw i kinda ship cheaskep so i am happy they got a route tgt! but they hated eachother the whole time so uh. lol lmao on my part)

BROKEN MY LOVE IS SO GOOD HERE THIS IS PEAK BROKEN

made me genuinely so happy that he outright defends that no it's normal to be traumatized by fucking dying you're the weird ones

i feel bad for how mean he was towards skeptic but as established i'm super weak for broken being mean so 🙏 thank you for being pathetic skeppie

and god what is there to even say abt how he allows you to leave with prisoner!!!!!! cutting through the complications and allowing you to bare your heart to her i'm screaming

also is just me or is it hinted broken is aware about something greater going on because i'm kinda going ??? abt that

NO. NO WHY IS DROPPING HER HEAD AN OPTION? I HAVE TO DO THAT FOR THE WALLPAPER AND ACHIEVEMENTS?? WHY!?!?!?!

IT'S HERE!

okay okay okay so i won't be doing a proper liveblog of everything but i'll be reblogging this post w/ some reaction notes ♡ all spoilers will be tagged + kept under a read more for the next week so don't worry abt that (i know i've accidentally forgot to tag some voice combo spoilers so i promise to be mindful this time </3)
