#and it led me to this conclusion

[quibbs126]

Alright so I think I’ve figured it out, so every Cookie Run game essentially follows its own canon, even if there are overlapping elements from other games. It’s sort of like Final Fantasy, only the characters are also usually the same

I guess it makes sense, considering that from what I’ve seen, most of the games (especially the recent ones/ones that are going to be released) are completely different in terms of game style; trying to connect them all to one timeline would just be a an absolute nightmare

Am I correct in this assumption?

endlessly entertained by their constant bickering tbh

I wish I'd witnessed the meeting that came up with the beta cutscene for the Kalos war.

If Gerry was the Archivist he would make a slideshow presentation full of 2015 memes to explain the fears to his assistants

[hella1975]

would you like to talk about how bad the mha ending was hella

as much as i would love to give like. a comprehensive response i genuinely dont think i can get my words together just yet without it being a constant unintelligble stream of 'AND ANOTHER THING-' and bc it's become quite torn in the fandom on if the chapter was good or bad i want like. an actual coherent response here. so i will reblog this if/when i can word it but know IM NOT FUCKING HAPPY

[fisheito]

here's your accursed tier ranking

17

sex yakumos that i had to meticulously screenshot and edit into slottable little squares

4

times i redid this list (over the course of several days)

The tiers (in words):

😔👌: Unfortunately, I Am Into That Shit (☆•̀‿•́): i quite enjoy these 🤔( ͡ಠ_ಠ)🔎: some parts i like, some parts i don't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯: ehh i'd rather watch something else

i COULD rearrange these rooms over and over and over (especially the middle tiers)

but we are nOt GOing to because if i spend ANY MORE TIME sliding yaku's horny squares around i'm goign to fmkkin lose it (it being my peanuts) I could end up rambling about specific rooms at a later date..... but not today. Today we will Restrain Ourselves.

So for now, here's 1 thing about each room that i like (same order as above)!!

Crimson Phantom R5: i can be uyuor devil

Dark Nova R2: THE FOFKIN COLLAR

Ocean Breeze R2: the way he tries to keep his voice down thru his pathetic little whimpers

Fateful Aegis R2: ENSLUTTIFICATION BEGINS **NOW**

Story H scene: ok.,, but he actually stopped. when eiden said slow down. tha't's unheard of in typical yaois

Cocoa Liqueuer R5: eiden purposely chooses the wrong dialogue option at every prompt and i'm laughing so sahgrd

Cocoa Liqueuer R2: yaku's stupid blissed out face *grips my glass so hard it shatters*

Shadow Lineage R5: *adds Snake Bondage [Quantity: 999] to cart*

Incognito Cafe R5: HOLY SHIT HE OBTAINED DICK RESTRAINT

Dark Nova R5: SNAKE TRAITS SNAKE TRAITS MONSTER TRAITS LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

SR R5: something about those big doe eyes staring up at eiden while pounding into him

Shadow Lineage R2: yeah sure crush me against a wall

Ocean Breeze R5: the ECHO 🤣

Fateful Aegis R5: eiden predicting yaku's AssPoundXXXL initiation sequence with the foreboding "i'm sorry"

OG SSR R2:

Crimson Phantom R2: b. bite.

OG SSR R5: eiden worrying about getting yaku's ceremonial robes dirty and yaku's response is an instant I Don't Care 😳 (tbhypothetical if i were wearing an intricate cosplay that i spent foREVER on, all handstitched and made of expensive silks and crafted by my own labour,, and i was about to fuck someone against a wall? I am DEFINITELY taking that thing off. NO ONE is getting cum on that. you will sit there in horny silence while i safely store this garment out of range of the Splash Zone. so for yakumo to have no regard for his FANCY CEREMONIAL OUTFIT? to IMMEDIATELY focus on sloppy makeouts with eiden? that either speaks to his textiles skill or all-consuming horny.)

~~~ and if, for some reason, u want to know why the lowest 3 are , well, the lowest 3:

OG SSR R2: the room itself is aight, but it is unfortunately a near copy of the story H scene. Ahhh, death by comparison. This one gets shrugged to the side simply because i like more things about its twin.

Crimson Phantom R2: yaku is not having a good time, y'all. he is not in the right headspace and his evident suffering is a boner killer. if i were ranking based on character development and lore, this one would rank higher (thank you, surprise tragic stories about yakumo's childhood), but. he's kinda fighting a losing battle against his self-hatred so can eiden give him that hug pls

OH!! and no lie-- his voice unsettled me here. i know he's playing big into the roleplay thing but that Uncharacteristic Vocal Behaviour mixed with Big Sad spiralling is uhhhhhhh . so where's that Eiden hug??????

OG SSR R5: i unlocked this waaay late so it had to (unfairly) compete against newer rooms that I unlocked before it.

it's similar to when I played FF/X-2 before trying FF/VII (original PS version)?! i wish i had played the older one when it first released. that way, i would have appreciated it properly? BUT!! because i played out of order, i was spoilt with modern graphics and improvements that made the old game impossible to finish. I was too warped by then...

and that's what happened with this room. although i liked the concept + their dialogue, the art was too off-model for me to fully engage. i kept fixating on the anatomy or eiden's face. sigh... it was one of the earliest rooms so of course the art's improved since then!! but i was unlucky and watched it too late :( i could not enjoy its full splendour :(

ok be honest guys is homestuck real or an urban legend that god out of hand

[fluffypotatey]

Do you think macaque is just that devoted to people that earn his loyalty or if its just wukong specifically? Like if he had met someone before wukong, would he have been that intense

well, we’re kind of seeing that development with MK so 👀 it’s possible that Macky is someone who is intensely loyal to certain people. I don’t think he even knew this until Wukong (look at him! centuries of drama and a bad breakup and yet that devotion is still hiding in there 🤧) and that’s might just be because Wukong was the first and only person he was devoted to

my understanding of Macky is that he is observant, patient, and is someone who prefers to be a spectator to the main plot than get involved. however we’ve seen that the times Macky’s gotten involved in certain events is because of his connection to another he feels tied to (current people are Sun Wukong and MK). it works well with him being a shadow magic user because when in the shadows, you are not the focal point of people’s attention and shadows are there to highlight lighter areas better.

but tbh I don’t think macky had been super devoted to anyone until he met Wukong and that crashed and burned which made him more cautious (see his complete detachment from LBD as well as macky keeping his distance from Mei, Tang, Pigsy, and Sandy) but MK somehow slipped through the cracks and is reforging a new one

idk it’s fascinating

Mentally insane about the Earthsea Cycle tonight

I finished The Farthest Shore a couple hours ago and God. Just god. The messages in the series are so amazing and I adore them so much it's hard to put it into words honestly.

I am very very very very much looking forward to Tehanu which I didn't think the copy I ordered was going to arrive until next week but I check the tracking earlier and it's supposed to come tomorrow and I'm so siked.

Just all the little things and the nuances of the series and writing are so incredible.

You know what I like? Star Trek

[boogiewoogieweeb]

if i had a cent for every time jared harris played a veteran, harried sea captain who ordered his loyal first to have a female poc with ties to a powerful folkloric creature thrown off his ship bc of his own internalized self-loathing, i would have two cents. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Re: the leverage tipping "discourse", here's my thoughts on the characters' tipping behavior--

Nate: tips 15%

Sophie: tips well as herself but if her persona for a con wouldn't she doesn't

Eliot: always tips well and leaves a note sometimes

Parker: 50/50 if she remembers to tip, but when she does she will leave a vaguely suspicious roll of cash. She gets better at remembering as she gets more exposure to the service industry

Hardison: my man doesn't tip *in cash*. He doesn't have a wallet, and his phone is plenty to let him divert company funds into giving the employees a raise. It's the age of the geek, baby, and that means ensuring a living wage long-term and making up for the assholes who inevitably won't tip at all. He's still gonna rile up Nate and Eliot given the opportunity though

I was looking over the THR comics again to get silly reaction images for a joke when I noticed that Terec was the first one to use the personal pronoun "I" for themself in the comic, not Ceret.

Notably, Ceret uses "I" in extreme distress, where they think Terec may be dead/disconnected from the Force. In contrast, when Terec used it, the situation that wasn't a threat to their or Ceret's life.

This is interesting in itself, but I think the placement of it after the preceding scene I've included below makes it even better:

Though it can be attributed to the fact that their mind(s) were altered by the Drengir, it's interesting to me that Terec goes to "I" after Keeve recognized them by name (for the first[?] time from the reader's PoV without having been told either twin's name by another character). For this reason, this can be interpreted as a first affirmation of Terec's individuality, as well as another example of the burgeoning friendship between Terec and Keeve.

Additionally, this is pre-Nameless, and given that Cavan didn't have either one use "I" before this, and only had Ceret use it in dire straits after (at least in Phase I, would have to check Phase III again to be completely sure), it's reasonable to assume that the usage here was on purpose. Given that Terec's greatest fear is the loss of their individuality/the mind takeover by the Drengir, this lends credence to the theory that the Drengir was the first thing that started shifting the bond between Terec and Ceret, and the Nameless just stressed the bond to a greater extreme.

Sometimes I look at other Countryhumans fans and wonder if we're in the same fandom
