I understand why people write “other characters close to character X react to fucked up thing that happened to them” fics, it’s cathartic and it’s good character study, but sometimes in the back of my head I’m like “that guy would Not open up about that”
#I know I’ve said this before but the fun thing about the bats is when you say ‘you couldn’t waterboard that shit out of them’ you can mean#it literally. Like I genuinely don’t think that literal actual water boarding could get Dick to open up about the incident with Catalina#in contrast you have Jason in bftc who apparently did tell Bruce that Something Bad happened to him when he was a kid and it got used#against him later so like. That’s never happening again that shit is going in the vault Forever#I guess that’s why a lot of these fics use sci-fi or magic macguffins like truth serum or mind melding#Dc

just thinking about hair and faces
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#i don't THINK this counts as face horror but just in case#face horror#for your daily dose of me losing my mind over anime characters#i don't know why the hair thing surprised me so much. i think because i thought it was funny that lilia named silver after his hair color.#like ha ha lilia is hilariously bad at names how cute and silly!#oh. oh it's kind of a Thing.#anyway i am excited to see where the heck all of this stuff with silver's various dads ends up!#we still don't actually know who killed meleanor!#we still don't know literally anything about dad draconia! (dadconia? dradconia?)#we don't know what happened to the macguffin gem with its magical dad-saving powers!#(surely this will not come back to save a certain dad at a later point. of course not.)#man i was not expecting episode 7 to be all dads all the time#i mean i'm here for it but#hey remember when the highest stakes were who was gonna win the big talent show#then robots started kidnapping people and now we've just escalated from there#episode 8 our cat is going to turn into a drippy ink kaiju and we're going to have to mecha battle him to save the world or something#each member of diasomnia pilots a limb and we gattai into a giant robot dragon and hold on i gotta submit this spec script to aniplex brb

After it was all over—the good guys triumphant, the bad guys defeated—the only thing left was the setup for the sequel.

hi not to be insane again but isn’t it crazy that wolfman ann’s entire deal is either “be effectively immortal but you have to live the same life over and over with no way to change it once it resets” or “live an actual life with the knowledge you are going to die in about a year if not less”
#like i know she lost her macguffin but like. if they hypothetically found it yknow#sorry i’m losing my mind over this#dimension 20#never stop blowing up#nsbu#nsbu spoilers

i’ve only been into dragon age for like. checks calendar. two and a half months. and the amount that my opinion on veilguard has changed after playing the other games is crazy
#the dialogue is sooooo baaaad it’s SO bad. i think of the bellara recruitment mission first mostly bc it’s so early but#��we’re looking for an ancient elven artifact!’ cool what is it. ‘this building… no… it can’t be here!’ why. ‘if that’s here… that means…’#GIRL WHAT DOES IT MEAN. ‘the artifact… it can’t be here!’ YOU JUST SAID IT HAS TO BE. ‘it must be that artifact!’ WHAT IS THE ARTIFACT.#‘it’s an archive spirit!’ WHAT DOES IT DO. ‘you’ll see!’ girl if it’s so important that means you know what it does. why won’t you tell me#it feels like i’m watching an episode of naruto where they spend half the episode explaining things you already know like you’re 8 years old#but also at the same time they explain literally fucking nothing#and that is media made for children. this is allegedly a game for adults. with sex in it. apparently#obviously i’m paraphrasing that scene but. there’s a complete lack of specificity in a way that doesn’t feel intriguing it just feels like#they didn’t care. ‘elven artifact’ ‘red lyrium relic’ ‘blood magic ritual’ ‘antaam and venatori bad’ can you explain any of it to me please#almost no codex entries from scholarly sources actually examining any of these things. i’m so curious about the veil jumpers’ work#but no dice there. just ‘ancient elven ruins.’ i found the logs of venatori notes in the western approach and hissing wastes in inquisition#fascinating. reading about their practices and motivations was really interesting. in veilguard? where you are in minrathous? nothing#<- also that about the veil jumpers is based on memory but i don’t remember much from the codex being particularly interesting. i’ll look at#it again though i might be wrong. but anyway#like 80% of the game is a macguffin#and if i get into the shadow dragons and how literally nothing about them makes any sense#i need to play further into v’s run. i don’t really want to. but it’s for research#i should put ash and fel on the backburner for now since v is my research run. but they’re both past the dragons. and v isn’t#ragghfgfhghhgffggghHgGGHFGDHHGH#eliasposts#veilguard critical#but really only in the tags lol

due south is just so incredibly fun is the thing. it's a story that takes such delight in being a story at every turn and on every level.
(something strangely discworld-esque about it that way -- sort of like the fiction version of gender euphoria lol. every episode due south wakes up glorying in being a narrative and getting to do narrative Things and that shameless joy, that lack of interest in courting anything resembling the plausible or more obstructive to the truth yet, realistic, is threaded into everything. yeah of course there's a ghost now. fraser trying to make sense of the story of his father to make sense of the story of himself while being a stranger in a strange land makes the most sense anything ever has. of course they still talk (and fail to talk) to each other all the time. of course he's always here, and never here at the same time. people don't change just because they're dead. fraser in the pilot walking through all the *stories* of his father, still looking for him as he did when he was a little boy, and finding as much of him now as he did then (not nearly enough, even when he's right there). hello. hello. help.)
#due south#fiction has always been more of a home for me than even home could be and like. due south gets me that way#due south understands and has my back and is willing to be soooo sweetly silly without an ounce of irony about it#I watched the holiday in chicago two parter and was just continually overjoyed with all the running jokes#and characters flitting in and out of frame. I feel like I know and love some of those background randos more#than beloved members of my rl family. and the show loved them too. the structure is so unapologetically A Story#and happy to be that and GOOD at being that. yes good. the most implausible way for the macguffin to make its way through the world#is in fact the best thing they could possibly have done. that is exactly correct.#i feel like this style of storytelling hasn't been in vogue for a long time which is a shame. because it's extremely good#also. no show has ever loved a chase scene quite like this one and it's perfect every time. it's a craft and they were at the pinnacle of i

i really wish we got to see more behind the scenes of dimension 20. i want to see every character sheet before vs. after the every season. i want the dm notes. i want to watch the session zero, maybe release it after the end of the season as extra content. i want to see the one-on-ones between the dm and players. @dimension20official do you hear me?
#watching neverafter wondering how ally ended up with the macguffin#how much was planned before vs after the character creation#let me interview brennan!!!#dimension 20#d20#fantasy high#fantasy high junior year#fhjy#brennan lee mulligan#dropout#never stop blowing up#nsbu#neverafter

I'm trying to avoid getting spoiled so I haven't looked up what's happening in the Jp server's main story, but for my own sanity I need to ask; is the story at a point where we know whether Lilia will get better/survive his almost-empty magic reserves..? Was it a true death flag from the start or only a plot device for malleus' overblot....?
not yet! I do think they're going to get back to it eventually, but -- keeping it as low spoilers as possible -- there's been...let's just say a LOT going on in the meantime.
enjoy 7-6!!! :)
#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 6 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 6 spoilers#i AM going to talk more about spoilers for a minute (i will try to keep it just up to 7-6 stuff though)#but i have. THEORIES.#my current hypothesis (based on absolutely nothing except vibes)#is that they're going to find the princess glow and use it to save lilia#via magic boost or...something. idk it was vaguely-defined enough they can handwave exactly how#because. look. they made a point of introducing this super powerful macguffin gemstone with magical dad-saving powers#and then never solidly established what happened to it#(twst? talk at length about something totally irrelevant that never comes up again? surely not)#but it would tie in very nicely with the rest of the parallels between silver and the knight of dawn#and i like how it would be sorta like...a little bit of meleanor coming back to save lilia#(again) (less violently this time)#my even-more-based-on-nothing theory is that crowley might have the princess glow and this might segue into whatever's going on with him#as always i could be completely wrong but i'm just. y'know. feeling it.#i'm still obsessing over that one line from episode 4 where azul was like 'oh yeah i totally know crowley's big secret'#which was most likely azul bullshitting but i'm still like IT'S GONNA COME BACK AAAAANY DAY NOW#(at this point no one will be more shocked than i) (the validation would be nice though)

the year is 1969. three years have passed, and K-Cell has a new mission - OPERATION KEYSTONE HUNTER:
one of two fresh agents joining K-Cell is BILLIE SILVER, a getaway driver who cut a deal to save herself from prison time after she witnessed the unspeakable, and proud owner of several pairs of Kickin' Jeans
Billie belongs to @steampunkforever who has retired Cary for now because he would, quote, "thrive in the nineties"
BONUS: Homer mustache (actual) and Kit mustache (hypothetical)
#others' ocs#billie silver#bernice macguffin#homer p. flanagan#oc#kit pike#ttrpg oc#k-cell#delta green#operation: keystone hunter#bernice is there also everyone say hi bernice. white woman spotted#homer mustache is an incredibly based decision props to his player#the op is going well(?) so far we've stolen a truck and a body and learned about another FBI agent who's not supposed to be here. whoops!#we also pretended to be in rural missouri for a family reunion

i feel the ramble meta post about how hextech is a cursed red herring that accomplishes nothing good, similar to the function of the urca gold in black sails, building up in me
#thoughts#i love... intertextuality#im trying to figure out if red herring or macguffin is more appropriate to call it... the point is they are both Cursed#arcane#black sails#oh yeah it's going in both tags bc idgaf
