I’m sorry but I can’t get the whole Oracle scene out of my head—specifically Torbek’s. I mean, yeah, Kremys is pretty bad too (for a different reason holy fuck) but like. With how integral The Other is to Torbek’s story, I just. Hm. Yall are expecting me to be NORMAL about this? Like. Does this mean The Other just fucking. Disappears? I doubt it. Ooh, wait what if. What if The Other just continues talking to Torbek. And either Torbek just doesn’t question it or he starts freaking the fuck out. And that’s not counting the Archfey figure fucking looking for him. Oh wait fuck. Huh. Hm. Yall. I am so not normal about this. Why am I just now thinking about this I’m not even at this point in my rewatch fuck.

I mean I’m obsessed with crash landing on you because it’s like if a hallmark movie was good and that is fascinating to my brain and healing to my heart.

ok ok ok like i thought “the chosen” would suck cause “blah another series about the life and times of jesus” like we GET it it’s been around for CENTURIES you guys make the same damn movie all the time

but it’s actually legit really good? lots of pretty good representation! not everyone in the movie is white. actual portrayals of jewish culture instead of just ignoring that part. disabled people. matthew being autistic. characters that aren’t just two dimensional. the people in it feel like real people. there’s actual jokes, jesus cracks a few and they’re really funny?? so far nothing hateful, no gay or transgender bashing. it calls out the church for being judgemental and hateful in a way that’s very tasteful

it’s not perfect tho. jesus is…still white for some reason? despite mary not being white? and no one else around him being white? no gay people in it which is kind of a bad and a good thing…but it’s a portrayal of jesus and the people around him as human. as real life people who felt things and made jokes and rolled their eyes and stuff. also the guy they cast as jesus is pretty hot as are all the disciples. which isn’t the point or whatever but i can’t say i’m complaining. it’s free online and i think it’s worth a watch!

just rewatched the season 4 finale of the magicians for the first time since it aired and, uh. wow. no, yeah, that is just as bad as I remember

That awkward feeling when a PIMI childhood friend sends you an invite to a party in the summer; but you know you’re going to be out of the cult and shunned by then.

What do I even say? Do I lie and say I’ll be there? Do I just not respond?

So I recently decided to restart Phantom Hourglass once again and I think the one thing they always surprises me a bit every time I play is just… how kind of really terrible Ciela is to Linebeck throughout the whole game.

Like sure, he’s a dick who needs to be knocked down a few pegs and all of that at the start but… she’a very consistently dismissive and rude and usually the one to spark arguments with him.

It’s been a bit since I last played through all the way so my memory’s a bit fuzzy, but she really is very consistently harsh towards him, even while others may change their opinion, like Oshus. Ciela never really seems to give him a chance or the benefit of the doubt, at least not to his face, and even when he really starts getting into his character development and genuinely trying to be nicer and braver and better she still continues to all but bully him up until the end.

Again, it’s been a bit, so I might not be totally accurate, but there are two bits that have always stuck in my mind as just… testaments to the fact that yeah, she’s kind of really terrible to him at times.

The first being when Link finds Linebeck near the Temple of the Ocean King after he gets the Phantom Sword. Linebeck is effectively almost done with his arc at that point, and really genuinely opens up to Link about how he’s felt about the quest and how he feels and… you can tell in this scene that he’s being genuine in trying to express his honest feelings and come to terms with them and let Link know in some roundabout way how much their time together has meant, but once it’s all said and done Ciela latches onto his telling Link not to die and uses it almost as an excuse to make fun of him again, disregarding everything he said in favor of essentially telling him ‘Link’s going to be fine, shut up and fuck off,’ and even when he goes to leave and asks her very genuinely to take care of Link and calls her by name, she just sounds surprised about him calling her by name and moves on.

Ciela never really acknowledges that Linebeck changes- not until the very end, and when she actually does, it’s always in a sarcastic or joking sort of tone until that end. She ignores any sign of him being kinder or less egotistical and just acts like he’s the same jackass that she and Link met at the beginning of the game. Not to mention, I can’t imagine how painful it must be to finally gather up the courage and honestly express your feelings like that only to get ignored and mocked for one throwaway comment! All things considered, that’s a shitty move!

The other thing is less about anything she says, but more about implying how Linebeck feels about her. One of the last things he says to her after Bellum is defeated is ‘You’ve always got to get the last word, don’t you?’

I don’t know. That line itself, paired with being right after she doesn’t entirely take seriously his wish to have his ship returned to him… I feel like it just… sums up how Linebeck probably feels about her.

Honestly, with just those two examples alone, I could go on for a lot more about how kind of terrible she was, but this is long enough as is.

I do like Ciela and I think she’s great, but when it comes to how she treats Linebeck… there’s a lot there.

trying to figure out character voices for my ocs and I think the one I have the clearest picture of rn is taituk. they speak…not quite stiffly maybe but definitely a tad formal. more connective words & full sentences than most people use when speaking. they’ve got the admirable habit of just letting silence fall until they’ve thought of the right thing to say, very little uhming or use of other filler words. they tend to be overly specific rather than vague—e.g., instead of saying something is rare or common, they might try to give a numeric indication of how rare or common it is. they talk quite slowly and quietly, but can make themself heard if so desired. absolutely hate shouting. they prefer to speak calmly, and if they’re in an emotional situation they will wait to compose themself until they know their voice will be level. because of this they can seem emotionless to the untrained eye, but they’re just good at hiding/repressing them lol

FYI, if the version of “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” you’re listening to doesn’t include the “until then we’ll just have to muddle through somehow” line, you’re doing it wrong.

After over half a year of hardly being able to listen to his voice, I’m watching animatics of Techno clips. Man, I miss him, but he did so much while he was here that it would be disrespectful of me to try to avoid it. Miss you, Mr Blade, but keep up the good work with killing (former/current) world leaders, wherever you are. Thank you for everything you did, and everything your legacy still does now.

i bought my niece some clothes not too long ago when i went garage sale-ing, one of which was a blue dinosaur romper (idk if it’s called a romper it’s like the thing babies wear? like the thing you’d imagine if i said “baby clothes” idk i’m just the uncle) and a neon dinosaur button down. when i showed my mom what i bought she said “oh you would have LOVED those when you were little” which was weirdly validating. anyway i hope i’m passing on my impeccable sense of style
