another reason i think that xie lian felt an instant connection on the ox cart is because he and hua cheng both grew up in xianle.

there are maybe 4 people still alive that grew up in that culture. based on my own experience, you can pick up on things like accent, cadence, references, and humor that suggest a person is from the same place as you without consciously noticing it. that sense of comfort and similarity probably played into their instant chemistry.

xie lian texts like a grandpa … i imagine pre confession their texts would be a graveyard of hua cheng’s failed attempts at flirting

there have been streams where tango and etho have chatted redstone and game development and that's been so so good and so fun to listen to, the way their minds work together and they push and pull with ideas and curiosity.

but then there's the stream today that's like, a first...(other than the little bit of figuring out stat poker and the non-redstone planning of the gaming district in season 7)...where they're completely collaborating on this redstone project together, from scratch. like it's the both of them creating one thing, forming it together as they go, and they just work so well together. aaand have fun!

idk I just love the way they vibe and problem solve together so much. just a great pairing and great equals. it's amazing it's taken till now for a full redstone collaboration like this to properly happen, but I'm so glad it's here now.

They`re getting along just swell!!

I think it would be really funny if fashion trends in ghost city mirrored the style of their beloved shapeshifter chengzhu’s most recent appearance. Whatever he wears? That’s what’s IN right now. It would also be funny if they always got it like. Slightly wrong. Chengzhu is wearing a long coat today! Long clothing MUST be the most fashionable. If your coat isn’t down the whole block, it isn’t in! The longer the better! Chungzhu is wearing hoop earrings today? Of course big rings are all the rage these days. Put them on your ears, your nose, your fingers, hell put them on your whole body! On your house! On your dog! The bigger the better! Look, he even gave a ring to grandunc—I mean his wife!!! If you don’t have one, you’re gonna look SO last week. Chungzhu’s wearing black today? Of course that’s the best color. Didn’t you know? If you aren’t wearing black, you’ll probably explode by at least tomorrow I think. That’s what I heard, anyway. Is it what? True? Hey don’t shoot the messenger, that’s just how it is. “I thought he was last seen wearing white and a ponytail” where did you hear that? And they heard it was blue? Black was last week? That can’t be right! Whatever….both is fine. I’m not taking any chances and you shouldn’t either.

i feel like we kinda miss the whole. catalyst for fiona and lips relationship exploding.

here's your older sister, and here's the only person you've ever been able to trust. she tells you to get out again and again and again, even though you're so afraid that the moment you turn around everything is going to fall apart. getting out, and then getting the rest of them out, is your job. that's what your supposed to do.

neither of you have been able to trust your parents and all you have is each other, and she's telling you to get out. and it's either doom everyone around you by staying, or trust her and leave.

and then, right as you're finally starting to find the rhythm of a world you've beed denied access to your whole life, it's because of her, the only person you've ever been able to trust in you entire existence, because of you leaving and trusting, that your five year old brother almost dies. he's comatose. he's covered in tubes. he might never be the same again. the only person you've ever trusted has done the exact same thing your parents did. Put drugs and alcohol and letting loose above the kids their supposed to take care of.

Is it any wonder Lip stops trusting her. That Lip takes the longest to forgive her. "it wasn't her coke she didn't leave it out" she got high around a toddler and left him near the cocaine. left the cocaine where he could get it. the two other adults picked him up and danced with him with coke on the table. Lip walks in on this after spending an entire day trying to rescue their other brother. His little sister is the one who finds their baby brother.

even discounting that in response to this he has to suddenly start stealing food or else all the kids in the house will starve, or that Fiona suddenly jackrabbits into another person he has to care for instead of someone he can trust, or that he now has to care for a 4 year old, while working a job, and being a full time college student on work study, discounting all of that of course Lip looses faith in his sister. Of course he does.

something something cesare always falling for rodrigo's ploy to pit him against his younger brother by rubbing in the fact that juan leads the papal army (aka cesare's greatest desire) so he mocks juan out of bitterness at every chance vs. rodrigo threatening juan to strip out his position (aka his honor and entire sense of being despite his incompetence) and giving it to cesare but juan doesn't fall for their father pitting him against his older brother and doesn't spitefully put him down but only begs their father not to take it away...

I don't think you understand how hard I'm BAWLING RIGHT NOW??! I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF. The emotions that I have right now are vast and I simply cannot explain them or express them in any human language

[horrorknife]

its sooooo funny when ppl treat swansea like this Do Gooder Who Has Children So He Can’t Be Mean Because He Really Has A Heart Of Gold <3 because hes also a raging misogynist like jimmy is. they pingpong back and forth about how “useless” anya is but yeah keep acting like he was ever fuckin nice to her. i sincerely doubt he was even all that kind to her when they talked in the cockpit either.

do you guys see how turning jimmy (and oftentimes curly too) like the worst supervillain of all time and turning everyone else into perfect angels ruins the fucking point of the narrative? do you understand that everyone on the tulpar did some bad shit? do you understand that everyone on the tulpar interacts with post-crash curly as an inconvenience that needs to be kept quiet? or was your only takeaway “jimmys a rapist so lets pretend he doesnt exist”? do you get how that softens the story being told? like fuck man. can we please actually inspect the point of the narrative? do your fandom shit idgaf i like shipping and dicking around as much as anyone else. but for the love of god stop treating rape like a one dimensional thing that instantly turns you into an irredeemable monster. you are missing the entire point of the game. fucking hate how everyone’s too much of a pussy to discuss the deeper and darker themes of the game because god forbid we discuss rape right? EVEN THOUGH THATS WHY THE GAME WAS MADE! BECAUSE PEOPLE WONT TALK ABOUT RAPE CULTURE OR HOW CAPITALISM ENABLES AND BENEFITS FROM IT

like holy shit the point is not that jimmy is a horrible monster the point is that everything in their work environment enabled him to take advantage of the entire crew. the point is that even if things had gone the way they shpuld’ve, it’s likely that a report wouldn’t have made it anywhere within pony express’ reach because of the working conditions they set and how they deduct payment for any small inconvenience. they make it extremely difficult to do your job without being penalized let alone reporting strife between crewmates. jimmy also has class based issues but the only time we ever touch on that is to talk about how he’s “unwashed” or whatever. like can we grow the fuck up please. he cut curly’s leg off and fed him his own meat but rape’s his worst offense??????
