#TRY and disagree with me

I’m just going to say it, Din’s covert has Victorian levels of modesty. Worse, even. And I’m not just talking about the helmet thing. If one of those mfs sees another Mandalorian with BARE WRISTS?!?!! They just pass the fuck out. AN ANKLE!? How scandalous! A SLIVER OF NECK?!?!!? Please, have SOME dignity!!

The armorer: Did anyone see your face

Din: no, but they did see the the back of my neck

The armorer, about to go kill whomever tarnished her child’s virtue: *cocks shotgun* I see

Y’all can fight me on this but you’ll lose.

it's fun because the things that appeal to me most about the three canonical evil clones/twins of hermitcraft are similar, but they're all different.

evil x appeals to me because he is very much Just Some Guy, for all that he's an evil force of nature; when he's sympathetic, it's because he's Just Some Guy who's been shackled to the terrible fate of being "evil", but when he's a villain (like in season eight!), the things that make him villainous also aren't the supernatural aesthetics, but the ways he is also the evil of being just some guy. for all the lightning and thunder and echo of xisuma's appearance, he isn't anyone special. (xisuma is.)

helsknight appeals to me for almost the opposite reason: this isn't just some guy, this is you, explicitly, a demon that possessed your clone and possesses all the things that are bad about you, magnified. he's a mirror, inherently, in his very creation. in the stories where he's a threat, he's menacing because he's a mirror of someone we should like; in the stories where he's sympathetic, we must confront how much of ourselves are also mirrors. (what happens if you don't like what you see in those mirrors, anyway?)

empires!false is somewhere in-between; she's not a mirror but she is the result. she's learning something you'd rather have forgotten about your past, and at her most sympathetic, we feel for the way she's been cast aside so false can 'fix her', the things done to her memory. at her least sympathetic, though, she's reflecting these pains onto others; violence begets violence, and even with it missing, the past begets her. there's no looking at empires!false without seeing the echoes of what false did to her. (there's no looking at false without it either.)

............then they also all appeal to me by being ridiculous failguys but like if you want to be DRAMATIC ABOUT IT, the ways they appeal to me are like the above,

Thinking about Mass Effect, as you do, and how I'm kind of sad that the way it's been engraved in pop culture has more to do with the way internet reacted to it at the time than what the actual game is about. Yes sure, it's about romance (and not that much all things considered) and it's pulpy (but not solely because of hot lady aliens), but it's also intricate worldbuilding that touches on a lot of sharp ideas, and a complicated tug-of-war between a genuine and vulnerable belief in reconciliation and community VS post 9-11 US military propaganda and steadfast belief in heroic exceptionalism, and the melancholic yet energizing mood, and the daring narrative systems, and so so much more than the 'We'll Bang OKs" and the "There's No Shepard Without Vakarian" and the whole ME3 ending situation

It's all there, but I'm sad the impact of the series is often reduced to (what I think is) the least interesting parts of its sum

i see posts about people saying you shouldn't say "going nonverbal" or use the term nonverbal if you arent always nonverbal and it makes me feel like yall forgot about variable disabilities

ambulatory wheelchair users exist

chronic pain doesn't always make people immobile every single day (depending on the person)

so why cant being nonverbal also be a spectrum, much like so much of autism is?

Why Cale is named Cale or in which I dive into Cale name lore

In general, Cale means thin and slender.

I mean, LOOK AT HIM. HE'S THIN AND SLENDER!!!!

Ahem, anyway...

The name Cale carries several meanings, depending on the cultural context. In Welsh, it is said to mean “slender�� or “stream.” This interpretation reflects the natural BEAUTY and flowing NATURE associated with the name.

Imagine a slender figure gracefully moving through life, like a gentle stream winding its way through a lush forest. The name Cale encapsulates this sense of elegance and fluidity, evoking a sense of tranquility and harmony.

Furthermore, the name Cale can also be linked to the concept of strength and resilience. In some cultures, it is believed that the name represents a STRONG and MIGHTY warrior, standing tall amidst the challenges of life.

The name Cale has a rich history that dates back centuries. Its origins can be traced to ancient civilizations, where it was revered for its powerful connotations. In Welsh and Celtic literature, the name Cale frequently appears, representing characters who possess remarkable strength, unwavering courage, and unparalleled wisdom.

These characters, with the name Cale, captivated the imaginations of readers and served as symbols of inspiration and aspiration.

Ancient texts and manuscripts are filled with tales of HEROES and heroines bearing the name Cale. These stories depict their extraordinary feats, their triumphs in the face of adversity, and their ability to lead with GRACE and INTEGRITY. The name Cale became synonymous with GREATNESS, and its presence in ancient literature further solidified its enduring appeal.

So, in conclusion, Cale's name decided his fate long before he had a one-nightstand with Slacker Life-chan~ And it fits just ✨PERFECTLY ✨for him!

If I see one more take about Orym being "secretive" in taking the sword, I swear I might start screaming. The dude walked up to Chet in front of everyone, asked for access to the Bag of Holding, took the sword out (in front of everyone) and left with it. Then he came back with the sword strapped to his back... IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. There was ample time for someone to speak up if they wanted to and Orym, quite frankly, didn't have reason to expect it would be an issue. Laudna may have used the lack of discussion as part of her cycle of justifications for her actions, but that doesn't mean it was 1) the main issue she was actually dealing with or 2) an unsolvable problem that required a rash response even if that had been Laudna's primary issue.

(Apollo Justice trilogy spoiler warning‼️)

I know Ema’s popular for being a hater, but I think it’s neat how she feel like one of the warmest, kindest characters in the franchise too.

Like, she always lets people use her equipment and teaches them how to use it, or straight up GIVES it to them if she has spares (which is probably just a byproduct of her love of forensics but hear me out), she considers people she knows through work like Apollo to be friends to the point where she’s actually hurt by him not wanting to talk to her when they meet again in SoJ, it’s subtle, but she empathises with him over the loss of his parents, and the way she consistently refers to him as a ‘kid’ (even as late as the SoJ credits) and a newbie honestly feels more irritating-older-sisterly than patronising in an offensive way. Like affectionate teasing. It doesn’t take much to convince her to let you perform informal investigations either — especially when her friends are involved, she’s often sympathetic to the people she arrests, she was surprisingly forgiving when Apollo both lost an entire corpse AND almost set her on fire within, like, an hour… she offered to share her Snackoos with Phoenix when an investigation wasn’t going so well and advised him to take a break even though they were technically on opposite sides, said she was proud of Apollo even though she’d only known him for a case and a bit at the time… and she has such a friendly smile! I don’t know, she just seems really nice and chill despite her grumpiness.

I just love that you're unapologetically a hater

My opinion is as long as I'm doing it in my own house (my blog) why shouldn't I get to be a wee hater if you don't like my brand of hater block me it's that easy

[mbat]

jews: this thing in fiction feels jew coded to me, this character/group has several parallels to jewish people and i see myself here :)

non-jews: nah, that aint right, its clearly coded to be this other thing/youre stretching so hard to find a connection that isnt there

jews: this thing in fiction falls into antisemitic tropes, this character/group has several common antisemitic tropes that have a long history of being used against my people, and i think we should really consider not using these tropes anymore/consider if theres a better way to go about making the same point without doing it in this specific way

non-jews: nah, that aint right, its clearly coded to be this other thing/youre stretching so hard to find a connection that isnt there

just something ive noticed

’rosekiller is a wolfstar variant’ and wolfstar is an unregistered half-blood werewolf with a shitty childhood and his pureblood boyfriend who’s the disowned heir of house black. while rosekiller is two pureblood boys being textbook fucked up rich kids… be so serious
