catching feelings for radahn again bc i have just watched a stream of someone fighting him .............

hes a funny case really, usually my brain likes to just start spinning stories around characters i fall for but with him i dont really know what to do, i just get emotional about him and his theme (mainly base game ... DLC still makes me feel even more sad), i just kinda want to clean of the rot, give him a blanket, some tea and tell him how cool he is lol

Ymir and Messmer sketches for an art trade with @knight-parzival

It was very fun getting to come up with more ideas for this dynamic!

welcome to Mass Effect, where no matter what happens, and who lives or dies, ultimately your choices and sacrifices don’t matter

we have:

• complete the mission you set out to do, destroy the reapers, but kill an entire civilisation of peaceful Geth and also one of your best friends in the process

• force everyone to become partially synthetic even though nobody wants that

• the Illusive Man wins and you follow through with his plan and become Reaper God. Admiral Anderson died for nothing

✨and then you die✨

but it’s okay because you get to meet a 50,000 year old genocidal maniac a Prothean

oh boy im having thoughts about miquella and malenia again!!!

i don't know if it was intentional or not but like yk seeing malenia's entire character and seeing how the most important thing to her (save for her brother) is her dignity and her pride and her sense of self. after a lifetime of fighting the scarlet rot malenia is someone who still resists it every day no matter how strong it gets because she is someone who will fight to the bitter end to make sure it doesn't overtake her, to make sure that she's still just her and not the vessel for the rot.

(of course, the exception to this is when she bloomed in aeonia and in her fight with us, but I'll call those last-ditch attempts arising out of desperation so)

you get it malenia suffers every day of her life and the rot threatens to consume her but she refuses to let it win and instead completely rejects it and scorns it; she won't let it take away what makes her her.

and contrast it with the dlc where we see her brother miquella do exactly the opposite of what she does. because of his crosses, we see how much of himself miquella has lost how he constantly sheds pieces of himself in his effort to become a god to the point where he even discards his love, his other half st. trina.

he did all this to fulfill his goals, to succeed in what he thought was right; what he thought was a necessary sacrifice that would only bring him closer to his goals of a kind and compassionate world. only the problem is it ended up making him into something he was not; miquella the kind was certainly not like miquella the unalloyed.

i am aware that miquella even in the base game was not the wow sunshine jesusesque figure that did no wrong and was purehearted through and through. even then there were hints to a more complex character, but I think the difference between miquella the kind and miquella the unalloyed is that the miquella of before was someone who cared so so deeply on such a personal level; he was someone who put his heart and soul into helping each and everyone whether it be by crafting prosthetics or needles for his sister to ward away the rot and the meddling of outer gods or whether it was to try to give his brother godwyn a proper death; he was someone who cared very very deeply and in a very personal manner. but afterwards, I think in his quest for godhood miquella became someone very distant, very impersonal in the way a benevolent god who is looking out for everyone and who is "doing the right thing no matter what because ik better and I have the power to fix things" is. he is very removed from that which he once was; he abandoned himself and subsequently abandoned the very ideals he was fighting for.

miquella the kind still wants a world filled with peace and compassion but now, he is a god, now he is someone willing to take the most drastic of measures because now he is no longer the boy that was miquella the unalloyed that believed in an age of compassion with love present. you cannot have compassion without having love which, of course, miquella the kind has abandoned.

i don't know there's just something interesting about these siblings where one has continuously resisted the urge of an outer god who is trying to force her into being something she does not want to be and then there is the one who willingly rips away that which makes him him because he thinks that this will help him become someone he should be; it will help him become the god that will fix this broken world.

something something shizukas expressions never facing up like leas does shows how the events she had to experience and live under changed her to be a more closed and defensive person even when expressing emotions that should portray superiority (eg smug) something something

[gatorgrumbles]

I love Drayton he's so cute I could die, also RIP Kieran in the last photo my poor baby

[valkyurii]

it’s funny how things have gone full circle with malenia. she was so hated when the game first came out, but then people grew to like her. then the dlc came out and now people hate her again lmao

[midnightwind]

I did the Well of Sorrows and then went to bed, but I am Still thinking about it and getting mad lmao

why the Fuck does Solas disapprove of a Dalish Inquisitor telling Morrigan no, that it's their heritage and history and if anyone is going to drink from it then it should be an elf

why did I only get one option that pointed that out and why did I pick it on accident (thank god I picked it at all) instead of it being a very clear and consistent shut down

why couldn't I properly discuss sending the Ancient elves out to the many Dalish clans desperately clinging to Elvehn history who would benefit so much from what they could share instead of stripping them of their only purpose to either enter the forever sleep or wander purposeless? if I hadn't taken Solas with me, would there have even been a chance to encourage them that there was still a place for them in the world?

why did I have to spend that entire section having Morrigan explain and translate every piece of Elvehn history and myth to me before going "not my clan tho!" like the one time my Inquisitor could have her properly defend and use her origin and I still had to have everything explained to me like a child lmao

Morrigan very justified for being annoyed at me for taking the magic I had no way to understand tho, she did have a valid point there, However

I am elf, elf magic is mine

can you draw the anteater x snail from the cuphead dlc Please

(I’m so proud of this you will not believe-)

Their just casual co-workers who talk about casual things- Y’know- the basics :]

ALSO I’M NOT NOT GOING TO SHOW YOU THE BACKGROUND BECAUSE IT TOOK WAY TO LONG TO DO AND I’M HONESTLY QUITE PROUD OF IT- (Even though it’s supposed to be blurry I’m so proud-)

Also Bonus: (Might be a bit suggestive Idk 👀💧)

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

Just finished replaying the entirety of Melody of Moominvalley in preparation for the dlc release! I won’t be able to get it right away but it’s the principle of the thing. Also I love this game and I highly recommend playing it if you want something sweet and heartwarming, even if you’re not familiar with Moomins (though all the Easter eggs make it a little more rewarding if you are a fan).

I’m hoping to see more of Sniff and Snorkmaiden in the dlc - I should hope so at least; Sniff is Fuddler’s brother and I just can’t see Snorkmaiden not wanting to help out with something romantic like this.

[presiding]

formerly an essay in tags but - billie lurk. half-nameless, misremembered woman. her powers derived from the things taken from her, without any catharsis or empowerment. the rat charm, tied with deidre's hair, her lover's voice in the mouth of rats. her arm and eye, taken, given back only to cause her chronic pain, then lost again. foresight seems a cruel gift for a woman who botched the timing of her takeover of the whalers, and bet wrong when it came to delilah.

she never bore the outsider's blessing; his first visit to her was more like an assault. every other dishonored POV character gets the choice to be selfish, and for that selfishness to mean something, but billie's actions have no effect on the world at large, either, in a game without a chaos system.

some say that corvo is the ghost, but he can reach out and change things. billie's buried herself twice and come back and nothing she does seems to matter - she is less a protagonist, more a convenient full stop in the narrative.

try this: open doto, start a new game. sit in her cabin. notice how little of billie there is. even the woman she loved more than anyone has the face of another named character.

she sits amongst the assets of other games: empty canvases and a dressmaker's mannequin that wears nothing.

I wish he had more screen time
