sometimes in the fandom you see some art that is SO beautifully made but goes SO against the grain of how you perceive the drawn character(s) like I want to reblog it so much because it's so visually gorgeous and the artist is amazing and deserves to know this but I'll fucking die before letting that particular interpretation of the character(s) anywhere near my blog

i contain multitudes and can say that i am a little :( about vex and percy being teammates with benefits because i think there’s something particularly heartbreaking about the dynamic that was neither of them ever said a thing even though they both were aware of it and it took losing percy for vex to finally admit it and Even Then, she couldn’t say it to percy’s face when they got him back, percy was the one who had to make the first move (that they were both alive for at least) and he was only able to do that because he’d heard her confession, because he never would’ve thought otherwise. to be clear, i also very much enjoy the story being told, i think i just wish they’d maybe committed more significantly to This Is A Campaign-Inspired Story Rather Than A Retelling sooner in the show so that maybe there would be a bit more grounding or set-up for the storylines the narrative is focusing on (and i understand why they wouldn’t), because i think they’re doing very well with percy’s arc for example, because they started with focusing on his and keeping his beats mostly the same and that seems to be much the same case as some of his second wave of meaty character stuff has arrived. but with vex they’ve aimed for the same character beats but it doesn’t always feel as earned or really feel like much character at all; i think saundor particularly was a bit of an :/, since in the campaign it was really a catalyst for vex interrogating her role in the party and her morality and something she struggled to get over and that haunted her far beyond the walls of that tree, but in the show it hasn’t really had a clear impact on vex beyond the scope of the episode itself — syldor certainly has, but the challenge that saundor presented didn’t really have much weight beyond its moment. and obviously a large part of that’s also probably just, 7 protagonists and wanting to expand the perspectives to antagonists and give more room for side characters is a lot of things to cover. and, i say with love, perhaps a bit too ambitious for a 12 episode per season, ~22 minute runtime show if they want their characters to have the kind of depth that really makes campaign 1 shine the way it does.

thinking about their friendship so hard

[good--merits-accumulated]

going through some old left-for-dead projects and just found this one where I was like. INTENT on dissecting jeff's brain on the operating table (i.e. google docs) but only from todd's weird skewed pov

[professor voice] it's about brothers as eternal combatants and it's about being so convinced of your own goodness you excuse your shitty actions. it's also about comparing yourself to a dog because you feel less fully formed than your brother. lol.

I saw Wicked yesterday and it was pretty cute, I’d have liked it more if I were normal about The Wizard of Oz, but I am not. So, it was cute.

I like the strange little poly thing they have goin on, tho it feels close enough to the ol love triangle trope that I was a little irritated, but it was fine

It was very well produced, and as far as modern major Hollywood movies go, it was very good

gomez!master is by far the best one of nuwho and I will NOT hear otherwise. she feels so much like delgado!master in that her motivations are not exclusively world domination. even before her redemption arc in s10, she has a complex agenda of her own and sometimes that means her goals align with those of the doctor’s. i love seeing the master team up with companions it’s my absolute favorite thing. her dynamic with clara is absolutely fascinating and i find the “i want my friend back” motivation to be five million times more interesting than the “i want to Destroy You Forever” motivation or whatever it was that dhawan!master had going on

It's always so funny to me when I see people say things like 'uty will never be undertale!' and list all the things they think it did wrong/inaccurately to the og game. Don't get me wrong I think it's completely valid to not enjoy it for those reasons, but at the same time it's a non-toby fox game that I never felt tried too hard to PRETEND to be a toby fox game, y'know?

There's quite a few things I think it misses the mark on when it comes to canon compliance with undertale, but I don't really mind that tbh (especially when it gave us such a fun fanon take on flowey, which is pretty damn accurate to undertale even if it doesn't make sense with the timeline and even if itd makes him a little too developed by the time frisk falls to make sense). To me, uty is a game that takes place in a world SIMILAR to undertale, by different people, that isn't quite trying to do the same thing. It doesn't have the same soul as undertale sure, but it doesn't need to. Different games serve different purposes and especially w the context of yellow being a completely free project done in fans' time as a labour of love to a game that they enjoyed, I think they did a pretty damn good job.

(again this isn't me throwing shade at people who don't like it, more an excuse for me to get some of my own thoughts out about the game lol)

Ohh im obssesed

[masonscig]

I understand nearly everyone hates Rebecca (which is fair) but I wish she had a more solid role and an actual plotline. I feel like up until this point she's just been there as a mostly peripheral character for the Detective to have whatever feelings about and occasionally have repetitive, stilted convos with. Anytime the game asks how the Detective feels about something Rebecca does I just sigh bc, whether it's positive or negative, it just doesn't feel like it really matters to the story. I can't even hate her tbh, like she has the same value as, say, the Captain or Unit Alpha to me…. IDK maybe this is dumb or maybe she'll actually be firmly involved in the other books but, yeah..

i totally agree !!! it's very easy to hate rebecca, but that's bc what m*shka has given us in canon doesn't really do much for me and plenty of others – like we know she wasn't the best mom. we know she wants to atone for her mistakes. but why does everything she says feel so empty – and not in the "empty promises" kind of way.

it just reads so weird because she'll take a haggard breath or whatever and get upset about rook and then be a bit aloof with mc and then. we're supposed to what? pick a choice that repairs or damages the mc's relationship with her further? she's very one-note and two dimensional to me unfortunately. and like you said, i think that she doesn't matter to the story – not that she actually doesn't, it just doesn't feel like she has as much weight on the story as we're told – but she could and that's a huge opportunity missed

OH MY GOD I COMPLETELY FORGOT MIU EXISTED. You're right she is most likely to roll her eyes out of the V3 cast. And even then I'm like squinting to make it happen. Like I said, I don't really think the V3 cast is that calloused - maybe if they were having a bad day? But honestly they're pretty nice people. Kirumi would have to have a very stressful day of being overworked to do so I feel, and like I said, even then I feel she'd be too polite. Tbh I would love to see Maki cheering up a child now though.... we know how much she cares for kids & how much they supposedly love her so I think more content with her cheering some up would be fun to see! I can't believe I totally forgot Miu existed for a second there though. Wow

HAUGHDSJHGJSDKFKSF

To be fair to you I literally sat there and ran through all the characters in death order to try and remember them all. I have to do that every single time or I always end up forgetting somebody (and its usually Tsumugi even though she's one of my favourite characters... girl is too plain for her own good)

I feel like even though Maki says she doesn't like kids she obviously really cares about everyone in her orphanage. Its kind of unfortunate that we don't see a lot of fanworks explore her relationship with kids/the orphanage but I kind of this maki is a bit underrated as a character

i’m really enjoying my dwarf commoner playthrough

[apollos-boyfriend]

everyone once in a while i’ll go “hm. am i woobifying cpurpled too much by drawing him with these things (hair clips, mlp plushes, etc)” and then i’ll remember cbench mains do the exact same thing and are regarded as popular and really good/canon designs and i feel a lot better

[no1ryomafan]

Characterization discourse is so funny for me to watch because it’s people getting upset that a character they really like has their personality changed over time, whether this be because their a new iteration of the character in a new canon or their still in one canon but changed how they act because of different writers, usually to appeal to a newer fans which causes long time fans to be upset more often. It genuinely does suck to see a character you’ve liked possibly as early as your childhood be butchered by the writers just to try to appeal to a newer audience that they feel like a shell of them old selves, especially when this is a character you consider to be one of your favorites OR all time favorite…

But then I’m standing outside of this fire like “good fucking thing the only character I liked that has been reintroduced multiple times is from something that’s not really ongoing but also never fucked up his character to begin with!” Even if the trade of being a ryoma fan is some people just flanderize him.

[weirdlizard26]
