#Idk I just think it's Neat

man the character design for the bakshi brothers is really good. you wouldnt think that's possible for a live action show but it is bc like zack is played by parvesh cheena who has a really friendly, round shape to him as opposed to brad's very thin, angular features, so you're more inclined to think zack is a good guy at first. but then boom they subvert that by exposing that he is the most evil motherfucker around. just some primo casting right there

i've recently decided my gender is roughly "woman" in the way that 355/113 is roughly π. that is, it's only an approximation, but it's also the best approximation available without sacrificing brevity, and it's precise enough to use for most purposes

which is all to say, i'm perfectly fine with being called a woman, but when experiencing certain expectations of womanhood, i cringe in a way very similar to how i cringe when engineers write π=3.14

It's interesting that Orange has said that Vash having a hood but keeping it down and Nai having a hood and keeping it up was incredibly important to their character design and what they represent as adults--but as teens (well, children given their growth rate probably), the opposite is true

Though by the end of this confrontation...

The "I can't stand his hideous fucking face" to "I really want to kiss his perfect fucking face" pipeline.

I love being a multishipper because there's one ship in a piece of media I cannot be normal about and hold much higher than all the others and then I get a brainwave that involves shipping one of those characters with a totally different one and then that ship goes up on the pedestal, too. They can and will both coexist. And then sometimes I just combine both ships and they all just... become a polycule. Why not? It's all very fun.

i absolutely love how in the followers song, dorian is counted as one of the four main members of the inquisition along with cassandra, varric and solas

the act of reading katsuki focused fanfics and finding out if the author calls him "ground zero" or "dynamight" is so so special actually

Me trying to design a character that has seen combat, especially if it's a woman: What if they had cool scars.

Personally, I love the theory that Lindon becomes the new Adriel. There are so many reasons as to why it would work. Mainly, his duality and the fact that Lindon embodies both the concept of creating something, but also the nothingness that has to come before anything is created. Those aren't the only reasons though. My reasons:

- The two judges he met before even hitting Iron were Restoration and Destruction

- He has pure, cleansing madra and destructive blackflame

- Lindon's soulsmithing tool Genesis has this same duality

- He had the Void Icon and the Hammer Icon

- Void is what comes before creation, Hammer is used to create

- Lindon's two Icons represent Nothing and Something

- Or the absence of something and making something

- Lindon represents growth from Nothing (Unsouled) to Something (one of the most powerful Sacred Artists to ever inhabit Cradle)

- He is meek and polite but able to throw his weight around if he wants to (his personality has two sides here)

- Lindon calls himself the End but he is also a "creator" as a soulsmith

- He says the above twice, and once at the end of his Cradle arc but at the beginning of his Abidan arc. This moment is both a beginning and an end simultaneously

- The above also links to the idea of a circle. An embodiment of opposing dualities in a single manifestation. Every point of a circle is both a beginning and an end

- When Lindon ascends, Eithan notes that he has a "fine pair of Icons" alluding to the duality of having Nothing and Creation

Have you ever read through a TTRPG that combines its setting and rules in a way you find really neat but you literally can't talk about it with anyone because anything more than a cursory overview will make having that person play the game impossible from the meta knowledge they will now have?

Wireless Soul Transmission is living rent free in my head and I guess it's going to stay there.

So the grandmother I take after from is an Agans, who's father was from County Tyrone, Ireland. I was looking up the etymology of some family surnames this evening, like the raucous party animal that I am, and I learned that Agans is an anglicization of the Irish Ó hAodhagáin, which comes from Aodh meaning ‘fire' combined with the double diminuative -agán (which itself is a combination of -óg and‎ -án, and I know that -óg means young, but I'm not sure what -án denotes)

And like, I'm sure it's a coincidence and doesn't mean anything, but it does tickle me that, as a devotee of Brighid, I take after the branch of the family whose name literally means 'decendents of the little fire'

My most controversial tloz opinion is that the downfall timeline kind of fucks. The fact that the Sages had to to make due without Link and implies Sheik/Zelda was at the helm is really interesting and a more decayed Hyrule that just limping along on 3 legs, rather than the bustling child timeline or being forgotten in the adult timeline, is so interesting and full of story potential. And due to the games in this timeline being older, there's a lot of room for making creative headcanons as a lot of canon lore hadn't been established! I know people think the "Uhhh Link dies ig" thing is cheap, and I see where they're coming from, but if you look at alttp's backstory, the original Imprisoning/Sealing War, you will see that the downfall timeline with Link dying actually does line up with it's predecessor's telling of events.

Not sure why, but I adore when kind, gentle, caring characters go absolutely Feral

I continuously find it wild how I am just some guy who shouts about how sexy an old man is & posts about ero-games and danganronpa, and yet through this exact behavior I have become surrounded by so many kind people on here.

No clue how I managed that, but I'm totally here for it

how many A new brain fans are even aware the oobc Gordon and oobc mr bungee have both played Lea Thompson's boyfriend in something at one point i think that's something people should be aware of. like I'm hyper aware of it I'm hyperfixated times 1000 but people who aren't. be aware.
