i think one of the best things people who like playing trrpgs could learn from the Seasons of Hieron is that you really don’t need a big complicated backstory for your character to feel like they have a full and complete life and how a simple backstory can improve your play because it makes you focus on what’s happening in the moment rather than constantly thinking about some big grand event that happened off screen that no one else at your table even knows about

Powerscaling is so annoying to me bc it’s just men actively covering their ears to ignore whatever story is being told in favor of screaming abt the dude whose dick they totally don’t wanna suck. Like, no, he doesn’t “no-diff the verse” he’s a c-tier antagonist w a cool design and his narrative role is to get his ass kicked. U can still get on ur knees and throat it that’s perfectly fine let’s just be more honest w ourselves now

Okay, wait, I double-checked and Bog Day is actually next Sunday, July 28

[allgremlinart]

yeah I know this piece of media has a ton of themes and motifs but like. is it entertaining and coherent ? because if it fails to be engaging or coherent I cant actually consider it the triumph you say it is, but, well. I AM on the themes and motifs website, so please start writing my obituary

[sun-marie]

potentially a hot take but it is my opinion that open ended, non-linear, exploration-based storytelling in video games is not worth it if it comes at the expense of the story's pacing. If you have a thousand different roads for the player to take but they're all just thrown at the player at once with no rhyme or reason, then no amount of "player agency" is going to make any if them feel satisfying, they now just feel like a chore.

omggg for bojance 36, 29 because i need exposition............ also 27. you know why

Uhh, yessss, I'm very happy to talk more about BoJance!! And yes, obviously I do know why 😂 (sorry for taking so long to answer tho!)

27. Craziest place they had sex?

Since they are three guys, there are a lot of places they have had sex (the studio, the laundry room in their apartment basement pffppfpfpfpf), but I think I'd split it, cause there are varying levels of craziness.

So, BoNace: the gym.

BoJan: a cinema bathroom

Jance: St. Luke's backstage area

And for all three of them together: Kris's flat (don't tell him tho, he'll go crazy). Might not be the most risky or public, but definitely the craziest for them.

29. First date? (Give as much or as little detail)

They spend a lot of time together, even before becoming their power throuple, so it's really gradual, but as soon as they cleared the air and officially started dating, they had a nice little date in a sushi steak club. (I won't tell you where, cause that would be spoilers, but it's probably not where you expect it to be pfpffppf)

36. Who's the more protective?

Ngl, I think they are all very protective, but in different types. If we take it very literal and it's about a situation, then I think Bojan would probably be the first to throw fists if someone said something stupid to either Jan or Nace (especially since he probably wouldn't get taken seriously, cause he do be tiny), but Nace would immediately try to be a mediator (and make absolutely sarcastic and cunty remarks dressed in nice words), while Jan just stares unnervingly without blinking.

But in general, I think Jan might be the most protective one out of the three, cause he manages their socials most of the time and reads all the stuff ppl say about them. And as we know, there are a lot of things being said that are just unnecessarily mean and hurtful even if they are meant as a "joke", especially towards Bojan. So I think he would definitely would try to keep that from both, no need to throw that onto someone who clearly should not be bombarded with hate.

That doesn't mean Nace is less protective tho, since he also doesn't like seeing Bojan (or Jan) sad,cause lets face it, anxious and sad puppy is no fun. But he would definitely deal differently with it than Jan would. So maybe the point of them all being very protective of each other in different ways is still very applicable here, they just have different ways to express it!

The new Zelda is just alright. Wait until it’s on sale or save up some gold points, it’s not worth the full $60.

I was already irritated with the echo mechanic before I even reached the first dungeon. You have to open up the pause menu every time you want to change echoes, which is a rapidly growing list of options. Half of them accomplish pretty much the same thing. It’s like the oot water temple iron boots debacle all over again.

Also the smoothie mechanic is just plain unnecessary. Collecting random foodstuffs and cooking/brewing potions should’ve just stayed in botw/totk, bc it just adds unnecessary bulk imo.

Do you sometimes think that don ridonculous from the hit tv show total drama presents the ridonculous race, should host the aftermaths for total drama if they get an aftermath for season three. Just as cause it sounds funi to me😁

Don Ridonculous and Chris beef it writes itself😊

Anyway hello hello total drama brainrot 👋😁

I think Don Ridonculous Race (we're full-naming him now?) should absolutely be given the chance to host something Total Drama related, be it an Aftermath Show or another spin-off.

We've already seen glimpses of the beef between Chris and Mildred, so adding Don to the mix just Makes Sense, y'know? They could even use a similar storyline to generate beef between the two; Don was originally casted to host the Reboot series, but Chris returned from (prison/holiday/cartoon purgatory) just in time to reprise his original role, leaving Don to host the Aftermath. Both are bitter about the deal- Chris because the executives tried to replace him, and Don because the Aftermath doesn't have as many benefits/as high a wage as hosting the show itself.

Also, I'd love to see how the new cast interacts with Don, who's shown to be a little more sympathetic and a little less bloodthirsty than Chris and Chef. I think Millie especially would appreciate an authority figure who isn't (always) intent on harming or humiliating them. Scary Girl/Lauren would probably hate him for the same reasons, though.

Hello hello, Anon! 👋😁

[stonerzelda]

man trying rly hard not to be cringe w my character creation here but the general idea for Edie (also super not a fan of that name for her but its just been living in my hesd since Asher's inception anyway) is basically that gotdam. Ugh. Cara delevigne enchantress design. Unfuckingfortunately that design is the sickest shit ever and it pains me big time to admit that but man. You rally cant top that for a bog witch lookin fucker huh

The lows (nya leaving) and the highs (boogers) of this show tbh

there's a lot to ideologically dislike about the canadian 9/11 musical but also "Blankets and Bedding" is one of the best representations of how disaster mutual aid actually goes like. The buildup and payoff of "for the love of god stop bringing toilet paper to the lions club" real af

man I’m so fucking dissappointed in Arkham: Shadow. It’s literally just “what if we made The Long Halloween into a video game but made it worse”

this is a very detailed take and a variation on the Suebian Knot hairstyle worn by Germans during the period depicted. This guy in the painting is a German barbarian who is either visiting the emperor or has been Romanized.

Wikipedia:

Roman historian Tacitus reports in Germania (98 CE) that the Suebian warriors combed their hair back or sideways and tied it into a knot, allegedly with the purpose of appearing taller and more awe-inspiring on the battlefield. Tacitus also reports that the fashion had spread to neighboring Germanic tribes among the younger warriors, while among the Suebians, the knot was sported even by old men as a status symbol, which "distinguishes the freeman from the slave", with the most artful knots worn by the most wealthy nobles[...]

we actually have two physical, extant examples of the Suebian Knot on two bog bodies whose hair survived the mummification process, Dätgen Man and Osterby Man. here is the latter:

Do you think that cis men feel the same way as trans men do? Like with how men get treated by society as being inherently evil and as predators?

I think maybe both cis and trans men experience these issues but it's easier for a trans guy to point it out because he gets to see people so quickly turn on him for being a man while transitioning

oh yeah definitely

I find "meninists" fucking obnoxious, especially as any of their VALID concerns fall under the bracket of feminism, but there does exist a presence of radfems and terfs that are scarily eager to lash out at anything resembling masculine that. Definitely needs to be addressed somehow

Like. There's a mile of middle ground between "Um yeah women have problems, whatever, but what about ME and MY FEELINGS 😢" and "I am genuinely trying my best to be thoughtful and considerate of others, and everything I do is being met with bad-faith interpretations and dismissal"

And I think the best advice I have for anyone else getting bogged down by this is that. like.

If someone is determined to see the worst in you, nothing you can do to prove otherwise will be enough. You will never change that person's mind. They don't want you to change their mind. So like... just focus on you, and keep doing your best, and learn, and know that people determined to find something nasty don't really have an issue with YOU- they have their own experiences and traumas coloring their worldview.

Someone who is determined to see you as a monster will only ever see a monster. So it's better to ask yourself, "would a monster do what I'm doing?". If the answer is yes, take steps to change that. If the answer is no, then it's not about you, and you can give yourself permission to move on.

So... yeah, I imagine cis men probably do feel the way I feel about this sorta thing sometimes.

Except, like. After a lifetime being a girl, living as a girl, fighting for equality as the only girl in a lot of men's spaces, being a feminist girl and an Eldest Daughter girl and calling out the bullshit only to later realize I'm not a girl... and that Im actually mostly a dude, still a feminist... at least when people call me a mysoginist, I know they're talking out their ass

I can kinda see where young men encounter their very first radfems calling themselves feminists and immediately become radicalized right-wing conservatives cause like. If I as a teen thought feminism meant Radfems and Terfs, I'd probably start running too

It's all just so exhausting

Any one group being wholesale grouped as "100% helpless gentle victim" or "100% selfish malevolent monster" is doomed, imo

(Now watch the notes blow up with "this is just 'not all men' rhetoric, lol)

But anyways I hate nuance I hate interpretation I hate implication and symbolism and context and I wish everything in the world was simpler so we could all blow a collective joint together and invent some new soups
