#Incredible themes

My oh my, War and Peace has so many fantastic themes besides the romantic elements (which, imho, don't play the major part).
It's about hope, belief, empathy, how easily you can be corrupted when you are around the wrong kind of people, morals, peace of course and its absence, forgiveness, pride, family...
The romance seems like a side quest tbh 😂

#umineko#umineko spoilers#ikuko hachijo#ikukos turn for a more serious piece... the old man has reigned for too long#now. INCREDIBLY LONG INCOHERENT TAGS RANT INCOMING FAIR WARNING HAS BEEN GIVEN:#it makes me so so sad how little discussion there is about specifically ikuko because imho she fits so neatly into a lot of the more#overarching Big Themes of the game in a way that i have not ever really seen people take notice of or point out in a meaningful way#like even just off of the top of my head. the significance of names and what it means to go by a name that's Not Yours (she has like 4+)#what it Means to be a witch how it represents a person's deepest insecurities and flaws & how its at its core a coping mechanism#the fact that it takes two to create a universe and trying to do it on your own anyways has the capacity to bring you intense misery#^ (how she's shown to be extremely dismissive of her own work and skill until a collaborator comes into her life and helps/encourages her)#and even the family/patriarchy/misogyny stuff that is so prevalent in the rest of the game comes back around to her. even her Only Friend#(young&stupid atp to be fair) remarks that shes Weird for being unmarried + the little she does say about her past invites the question of#to what extent her self-image stems from her family deeming her a freak outcast & effectively disowning her while celebrating her brothers#and i have lot in my mind about the witch thing specifically because i think her particular situation is very reflective of what umineko's#entire magic system and fantasy facet as a whole is meant to represent for an individual. from what little we see of (what is presumably)#her Real personality she is shown to be deeply self conscious in a way that is JARRINGLY diametrically opposed to both 1.) what we see in#featherine and 2.) what we see when she is acting as a Public Figure. because both of the above are very much purposeful acts that she is#putting on in order to obfuscate her true self. and i have always been very resolute & adamant about not totally equating her to featherine#not only because im very firmly in the camp of “featherine is the avatar of the Pen Name & tohya is part of her too” but also very much b/c#i feel very strongly that the stark differences between the two are very centrally relevant to her character & her psyche. as is the case#with most other witches featherine's personality traits serve to reveal/magnify a lot of ikukos inner workings by playing on her#insecurities/reversing them e.g. ikuko being very quick to downplay her skill/achievements becomes featherine being the COMPLETE opposite#to the point where she barely registers even other witches as living beings rather than just fun touys. BUT even though i do champion the#ikuko/featherine separation so hard i ALSO think it is purposefully relevant that at first glance the line between them seems so blurry#her introduction implying a more nebulous separation between her reality/fantasy counterpart is i think is an intentional move on her part#like it is part of the front she is putting up when acting as the Author. as opposed to Ikuko the person who we (in a way ironically very#similar to the way that the Real Battler is presumably only shown during the boatscene) only very briefly get to see take up screentime#which even on a meta level lines up very well with her apparent underlying nature as a like. extremely private largely reserved/shy person#hit tag limit but if by some miracle anyone is still reading this thank you... please see ikuko with the love she deserves... ok ily byeee

Soul Sanctum! Soul Twisters are the bane of my existence, right behind Primal Aspids and those flying assholes in Crystal Peak.
Most of HK’s most annoying enemies are the flying ones, because they’re good at getting out of the way of your shit by teleporting or flying backwards, and or they have subtle telegraphs for their attacks, while those same attacks blend in fantastically with the background (I can not even begin to describe my visceral hatred for the flying crystal shits).
Masterpost
#hollow knight#hk greenpath vessel#hk ghost#hk soul master#art#my art#comic#soul sanctum has super cool music#like I can feel the madness of the bugs there just from soul master’s theme alone#the normal area music is so sad sounding too#it’s filled with agony#and it gets worse when you have to listen to the sounds enemies like mistakes make#it’s guttural and desperate and confused#it’s incredible for such a tiny corner of the game

Obsessive ASOIAF theorizing misses the point of the stories, I think! George's goal is to tell us a sweeping fantasy with heavy romantic elements and really beautiful characterization grappling with themes of redemption, power, agency, identity, love, loss, growth, death, (re)birth, etc etc. He obviously has some big plot points and mysteries, but those serve to reinforce the themes (e.g. Rhaegar and Lyanna are there to talk to us about love and tragedy and cycles and identity). George isn't chucking in a mystery to just have a wild and shocking reveal, he's putting it in to serve a narrative point and when you lose sight of that you are losing the plot, quite literally.
To me, it's much more interesting to see how certain themes develop over time as George sits with them (e.g. Jaime's progression from the outline into his POV character form is a perfect example), historical inspirations (BUT not as a way to crack a code!!!), and literary allusions and references.
#asoiaf#valyrianscrolls#i totally understand the appeal of theorycrafting or whatever and I think it's fun to read them! but I think the obsessive like#everything is a secret! we just have to crack all the codes! isn't fun!#the beauty of the books is getting swept up in a fantastical world with incredible prose that talks to us about human life idk!#that's why for example 'I dreamed of you' hits like a truck going 100 mph#anyway i think it's much more interesting to talk about george in conversation with other novelists and themes!#like the realization to me that Arya is a Carson McCullers Mick Kelly style protagonist rocked my world and deepened her arc for me#just my 2 cents though I'm not a cop#i think really what i'm getting at is i feel like ppl are setting themselves up for disappointment by wanting everything to have a secret#the beauty is the story unfolding as george tells it to us idk!

Do you ever go insane thinking about how every member of Laios' party is extremely atypical for their species, but a lack of exposure and understanding smoothes out these differences and makes everyone think they're the "typical" representation.
Senshi is terrible with other dwarves since he has no practical interest in mining or weapons craft. We cannot know this until Namari and later, Senshi's backstory are introduced. When we see him interact with dwarves, it's awkward and clear there's a fundamental disconnect.
Chilchuck is incredibly tall for a half foot and as such has to manage his weight more than other half foot dungeoneers so he doesnt set off traps. The first detail takes the changlings to properly understand, the second is referenced in text but is fully explained in additional materials. It is plot relevant that people who don't have the exposure to half foots might not even realize they're their own species.
Marcille as a half elf is kind of obvious to many of the elves who encounter her and they're deeply cruel and assume she's driven by a desire to be able to have children but the party never notices and Senshi especially thinks of her as a typical elf even though in truth she's so outcast she could never dine with her mother at the queens table.
Laios and Falin are a bit more complicated, since we as the audience do have context for most of tallman culture, since it mirrors our own mostly, but both of them have magical aptitude that both people like Marcille, who has a lot of access to mana and people like Chilchuck, who has very little and no magical training, fail to understand how isolating it is to have that much potential and aptitude.
Arguably Toshiro and Namari fall into this as well. Toshiro looks like the embodiment of the silent but noble warrior, but his own party and extra material confirm that he's abnormally shy and introverted, something that makes it hard for him even in his own family. Meanwhile Namari is able to stand on her own as a weapons expert and "typical" dwarf, but total dwarves who are total strangers like Dya know who she is and resent her.
Arguably a lot of dungeon meshi is about peeling back layers and assumptions not working out, but it's so great that every member of the core party gets interpreted by others (and maybe the reader) as "typical", especially with the skills line up, as a human fighter, halfling rogue, and an elven mage are so basic a stereotype. But none of are able to achieve that standard. These assumptions and misunderstandings only thrive because each party member is so inexperienced with both the biology and culture of the others. The only way they gain context is either interacting with a wider pool of people or experiencing it for themself. Everything in this story is so layered and I love it.
#i feel a little silly for typing this all up. maybe ill delete it later#anyway all of the party seems like the stereotype but actually all of them are isolated from their own people. chewing glass#i realize this is an incredibly basic theme of the story but. i find it neat.#dungeon meshi spoilers#dungeon meshi manga spoilers#dungeon meshi#laios touden#marcille donato#chilchuck tims#senshi of izganda

the web - fear of manipulation and lost control made manifest
#twst#twisted wonderland#jamil viper#kalim al asim#twst tma au#tma#heartscribbles#dont tag as ship#honestly this piece stands alone w/o the tma au tag but i just want it there for context#but for the very niche audience of tma twst people im sure you all understand me when i say jamil is SOOOOO webcoded#i have a lot of thoughts on a twst tma au that will probably come out later#most of them center around web!jamil tbh#there is something incredibly funny about aligning (guy with horrid fear of all bugs ever) with (spider themed fear god)#i will keep doing it

#fire emblem#fe7#blazing sword#nils#ninian#aquanutart#i saw someone post a pic of ninian and say it was the fire emblem anniversary#and i thought i should put up an old pic i haven't posted for that and i was going to try to rush to do it#then i realized the anniversary was last week. so it didn't matter#and i spent four hours shuffling and reshuffling my pokemon card deck playing an imaginary game against myself#it works really well when i'm not playing anyone else and imagine everything going exactly the way that i want#then i go to an event where i have an actual opponent and it goes differently#i've heard it recommended to build the opponent's deck and play it against yourself#but i don't want to buy all the cards for another deck and also don't want to print proxies because it would take a lot of time and ink#so what i do when i'm missing a card is i put another card in its place and imagine it's that card#'so this n's klinklang is a dragapult and these little wooloo are dreepies'#it works if i'm missing two or three cards but i think if i tried to play a whole deck like this it'd be incredibly confusing#i am always really relieved when i actually get the card i need and can stop pretending#(i don't play dragapult; that was just an example. if i did i probably wouldn't keep losing but i never had a dragapult so i don't)#anyway i made this like 1-2 years ago? i don't even remember.. for a theme on twitter#i think the theme was 'music'#i love these dragon kids#anyway happy anniversary fire emblem 7 !!!! i love this game so much#i just realized the anniversary for fe7 rather than the whole series anniversary was actually only 3 days ago and i could have been on time#it's... fine. i am going to pretend it's 3 days ago in exactly the way i pretend i am winning when i play pokemon against myself
