#I FUCKING LOVE THIS SHOW HOLY SHIT

[yourlocalfriendlyhybird6]

OK OK, OK Just finished watching the first 3 episodes of Arcane season 2, and my brain is...in shambles there is SO MUCH that's just auahajwh.

Spoilers for season 2 obviously :P

1. Holy shit, like most of the counsel is dead if not MAJORLY injured?!

2. Caitlyns mom is dead as well?! Obviously, it affects her character and what's next for her arc near immediately.

3. I absolutely ADORE every characters development throughout these episodes. (Especially the female characters we love good writing here)

4. Vi accepting that Jinx is no longer Powder was painful since Vi was so determined to reverse her mistake, and the only way to fix it now is to get rid of her.

5. The moment we saw all the way in the beginning of the show with Jayce could be saw in the show and I find it soooo interesting cause I'm intrigued of how he'll handle this little problem with Hextech now.

6. Viktor?! Holy shit I love him. He's basically a blessing to those in Zaun who are badly affected by Shimmer, and I'm glad he now has this power he's been wanting since forever.

7. Finally got that GODDAMN kiss scene I've been begging for since forever but why did these two have to argue near immediately after T^T

Anywho, that's it cause if I kept going, we'd be here forever.

so this episode is off to a smashing start

[aziuuu]

I uh, got myslef into another fandom... Send help I'm gonna go insane and binge the whole show second time in a row aaaaaaaaaa

The silly stupid alien show about ghosts that steal your cock and balls just pulled the most gut wrenching, poignant shit possible and portrayed it so artistically and meaningfully what is even life.

This was MASTERFULLY done. The visual and environmental storytelling, the subtle foreshadowing, and inject those motifs into my fucking BLOOD.

Ho. Ly shit. Good fucking lord.

[lerios]

also wow Romana is COMICALLY corrupt lmao. like queen i love you but holy shit

"i dont have friends, just allies" yes bitch, because you keep elevating your only friends to political positions and destroying laws so that you can force your point on your pet causes 😭

2 episodes ago she was making dodgy backroom deals with known criminals because She Wanted To and anything is permissible to her if She Wants To. she knows Brax is committing 24/7 crime and its fine because her besties can do whatever they want. no shit she's a good candidate to become imperiatrix, she fundamentally sees no real issue with herself having ultimate power, that's practically what she's already doing lmao 🙃

like bestie WHAT is wrong with you. i went into this series expecting the main personal problem to be Narvin being a wet pathetic neurotic babyman but god Romana is a legitimate fucking car crash already (politically and otherwise)

For all time? Always.

can we fucking stop assigning “ableist” to characters for no fucking reason. jesus christ. not only is it extremely boring and cop-out storytelling to just make villains out of regular ass characters to create your conflict, it’s also fucking jarring and exhausting to have to be slapped with slurs and ableist microagressions towards a CHILD out of nowhere while reading an otherwise unrelated (and untagged for it!) fic. im not normally one to get this negative on main, but if im being honest? you guys are pissing me the fuck off

[laurrelise]

they would be friends argue with the wall

I love how The Boy Wonder is characterizing Talia. Like, I have some disagreements (mainly in that I still don't like the idea that her relationship with Bruce was somewhat encouraged by Ra's because like...idk it just feels weird to me. I also don't like that Talia seems pretty chill with murder, since I still think she's most interesting as somebody who kills only when there is no other option) but overall I think it's a pretty good way of showing her as a complicated woman.

She knows her father is cruel and will do things that go too far, but she genuinely believes in his mission and will do whatever she thinks will serve it (another benefit of actually touching on the ecologist angle of the LoA). It's also notable that she only fully betrays Ra's when she knows that HE has compromised his own cause at the altar of ego. Her loyalty to the cause doesn't mean she'll let Ra's do whatever he wants, ESPECIALLY as it pertains to her son.

Her relationship with Damian is also complicated in a way that feels a lot more in-character and reasonable than usual. No matter what her intentions were with the action, she abandoned Damian to Bruce and that HURT HIM. It's given him issues where he constantly strives to not just be good but to be BETTER than the others so that he won't be left again. It can be the right decision for both Damian and herself AND ALSO cause them a lot of pain. She loves him dearly, he is her heart. But just like she puts herself through suffering for a goal she believes is righteous and just, she puts her son (her heart) through that same pain because she believes it is the right thing to do. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.

It gets a bit too self-deprecating at the end for me (I honestly don't think Talia would consider herself unworthy to be proud of Damian), but it shows her with a level of self-awareness and an understanding of her errors. Issue 4 also shows a lot of my favorite traits of Talia's in full force: her perseverance and her confidence in her own moral judgements (if not in her interpersonal relationships).

Fallout 4 is one of my favorite games, so I'm pumped to see a bunch of people coming back to it after watching the Fallout show on Amazon.

So, in case you're new here (or just haven't experienced this masterpiece yet)

Here's a 2 hour long, wacky ass adventure involving some of the original voice actors from Fallout 4. Nick Valentine, Hancock, and Danse all make prominent appearances, with a quick cameo from MacCready! This shit gets wild, y'all.

i’m seeing this post going around about how tori saying she and michael aren’t a couple is the ‘loss of their life’ and i’ve never disagreed with anything more.

[yourdeepestfathoms]

as hyped as i am for P3, i’m so scared that the fandom will sideline and ignore Clara even more than she already has been

[quietwingsinthesky]

now that my friend pointed it out i cant stop thinking about the design of the tardis in the tv movie because 1) it was gorgeous but 2) that was a home. that was his home. he had a chair to lounge in and a record player. seeing the tardis in the tv show, that one huge console room, bigger on the inside and yeah, it’s impressive but it’s functional. (i’m assuming this is a budget thing, because it would probably be extremely impractical to have the kind of set they put together for the tv movie for every episode of an actual show lmao.)

there’s just something so. i think it’s the first time i’ve really looked at the doctor in the tardis and thought, right, he lives in there. rather than it just being his car. it is very funny to think of the doctor as a guy living out of his shitty van, but no, the tardis can be a home. it can be warm and comfy and full of knick-knacks.

The real beginners experience is getting to the Archive area too quick, making friends with the people who saved your ass from sky shrimp, and then finding out they're heading to somewhere called eden and were just collecting lights last minute.

Cut to ubering tiny day 3 me to Eden cause I shitposted about speedrunning, making it to the end with a team of 5, and then getting absolutely fucking obliterated. I felt so bad I had no idea we were supposed to die. The veterans were so cool abt it tho they got a solid giggle. Extremely fun experience 11/10 would recommend

[crowreys-wormstache]

Listen okay it's 2024 and I've finally seen all of the original Castlevania and I just. God. Yeah, yeah I get it, the themes the symbolism, the paralells. Dracula falling for a human woman. Said woman being taken from him, sending him down the path of violence. Alucard, his son, falling for a human woman. The potential for history to repeat. The desperate hope that Alucard would handle it better than his father. The fact that we'll never know. It could be so so delicious and I'd be 1000% here for it

IF THEY HADN'T SET UP THE POLYCULE FROM EPISODE ONE?

WHAT WAS IT FOR WHAT WAS THE SCENE WHERE TREVOR AND SYPHA KILL A NIGHT CREATURE CHARGING THE OTHER FOR WHAT WAS ITS PARALLEL WITH THE TWO OF THEM AND ALUCARD FIGHTING SIDE BY SIDE AT THE END OF S4 FOR. WHAT WAS IT ALL FOR IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA MAKE THEM A POLYCULE NETFLIX I AM GNAWING AT THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE
