The Percy Jackson show has so. much. potential.
#and then it squanders that potential every time!!#sometimes it’s so good!#and then suddenly it’s just bad#especially with the fight scenes#they get so much build up and then for what? two seconds of action#one slice of Percy’s sword and it’s over#and some of the dialogue is just bad too#but Walker is so good at being Percy— he’s the only reason I’m watching honestly#pjo tv show#pjo#percy jackson

I'm curious, how would your Suns design look during more serious situations, such as one of the Spearmaster broadcasts?
something like this
and now for a (slightly long) addendum: i know i depict SRS as jokey and kooky, but when it comes to not shitposting and actual characterization, i have Thoughts and Feelings about them. the entire story, they just want to do what they hope will help the people around them, even though it all ends up horribly, HORRIBLY wrong. that's tragic, and it has my interest. considering the heaviness (and intrigue) of SRS’s storyline, for me to only ever depict them as a goofball be way too shallow of me, and unfaithful to their canon characterization.
so to answer your question: they hold themselves together, of course, but the shame, regret, and embarrassment is still evident.
#i dont wanna get my characterization of srs from other peoples headcanons#but im admittedly a little too preoccupied to sit down and meticulously comb through their dialogue to see what each sentence reveals#my srs personality is usable but its not as detailed and tailored as id like it to be yknow#cause. just. MAN i really need to sit down and obsessively pore over those broadcasts and pearls sometime okay#also not saying that looking at other headcanons is bad. it set me straight way back when on a couple of my own minorly dogshit ones i had-#-when i didnt have a full grasp of the story#but i also just want to come to my own conclusions on srs#UGH. rain world is so good. the horrible events that happen dont happen because of some big bad shallow villain#but just people making bad decisions sometimes. because of concern. because of desperation. because of love. which happens with people.#auuuugh#my art#ask#rainworld#wait why has this been sitting in my drafts for over a week? be free my child. ill schedule this to post in an hour or something

Okay honestly these two episodes were absolutely a blast and had so many fun moments to them.
but dude the amount of COMFORT in this scene is unimaginable i love it sm gary is such a good guy...
Everybody deserves this type of love and comfort istg it's so good.
the fact he gave her a early invitation to the bakery just to give her even the smallest amount of comfort to her while she's afraid of cake's whereabouts and even giving her a LATTE AND GIVE HER REASSURANCE HE'LL HELP HER WITH THE SEARCH AFTER HES DONE MAKING SOME FOOD IN THE BACK...
I love u gary, we all deserve a gary in our lives and give him all the love and comfort possible back to him for his efforts.
#adventure time#fionna and cake#fionna and cake spoilers#fionna the human#prince gumball#its just everything in this scene man.#the night time vibe#the comfyness of the dialogue...#i love this show man#it has so much fun in it but these scenes where its just a regular town with regular people#going through their lives some are good some are bad some are in between#but there's always that PERSON#that person that truly cares about you and you do back#and it makes you feel like life isnt actually as bad as it is...#Gary is that#hes that reminder even when things go wrong#there is always a person who wants to help you in times of stress with comfort and reassurance.#this goes for online friends too <333

i'm having trouble forming this thought into words but there's something about melinoë being raised the way that she was and being taught to think the way that she does to the point of not being able to think any other way. it's not naivety and it very much reminds me of how prejudices get passed from parent to child. i keep seeing these statements coming from the olympians saying that the old golden age was a farce and that chronos is manipulating the humans into following him (note that we don't have any living human perspective on what's happening, so we don't really know how far chronos' reach has spread. all we have to go on is what's happening in the realms of the gods and in ephyra). it's all being perpetuated by gods that melinoë has been raised to trust and believe in. i think she could be nearing a tipping point as the plot progresses, though. like i said, i don't think there's necessarily a "good" or "bad" side here, only the side that melinoë/the player is on and the side that chronos is on (plus many of the NPCs that we meet who are generally uninvolved in the whole mess). but there's also a lot that we're missing simply because melinoë is unaware of it.
#hades 2#hades 2 spoilers#just because we play as the protagonist doesn't necessarily mean that she's on the good side and that chronos' side is the bad one#however i also don't think the inverse is true where melinoë is on the bad side and chronos' side is the good side#it's FAR too nuanced to label one side as good and the other as bad. that's the whole point i think#i don't think melinoë is naive per se. i just think that there are things she's unaware of#and there are things she doesn't want to admit#she grew up sheltered and not by the fault of anyone but the one who was hunting her (which was chronos)#(there's a bit of dialogue where chronos is asking hades where his daughter is.)#(it's heard after mel dies some time. i think specifically after a chronos fight or in tartarus somewhere but i may be wrong)#(idk if that was supposed to be recent like during the events of the game or if it was meant to be around the time chronos invaded the house#like i don't think it was hecate's fault in raising melinoë that she grew up sheltered. that was a necessity for mel's safety#but i don't think we can leave the effects that had on melinoë's character out of the conversation#also this thought came to me in a vision (watching tlou2 gameplay and comparing ellie to melinoë)

people dont talk enough about how heartbreaking the marlon betrayal mustve been for clem too,,
this dude saves the life of her and her kid. takes them in has them patched up gives them their first hot meal in who knows how long. gives them a safe place to stay. possibly permanently. confides in her that hes trying to be a good leader but feels like and fears that hes failing. asks her to help him take care of the rest of the group. helps her get over her fear of dogs by asking her to trust him. and things go well. she feels safe. like this place could really finally be the home shes been looking for
but as soon as she finds out what happened to the twins. that marlon planned on giving up her and aj too. she immediately becomes a liability to him and he attempts to kill her for it. locks her in the basement to die by walker. then tries to turn the group against her so he can shoot her instead when the first method fails. and he nearly succeeds
then a majority of the group turn against clem the minute aj kills marlon. ignoring marlons mistakes but condemning aj for his. like clem wasnt betrayed by marlon in the exact same way he betrayed the twins. like she literally wasnt almost killed twice? and how long had he been considering giving her up? was it always some contingency he planned? did he truly want to keep them around and things only changed when he feared the raiders had returned? she'll never know
#i think about this a lot... the betrayal... clems deep trust issues... then they all want to kick her out (except vi aasim and tenn 💕)#when she was just as impacted if not more so than the rest of them. since she was the only one with her Life on the line#thats why violet fighting so hard for them to stay is so important imo and would MEAN SO MUCH to clem too#vi and aasim are the only ones who can see past the bullshit and realize that theyre safer with clem around#while the rest would rather kick her out so they dont have to acknowledge their confused feelings about marlon#like first marlon betrays her then the rest of the group tell her to get fucked and die. dont come back. we never want to see you again#but she does. and she saves them#personally i do think marlon had 'good' intentions but he was a scared and fucked up kid who made bad decisions#and continued to make bad decisions to cover for his previous fuck ups#but that just makes him interesting :)#and i like teaching aj the difference between people like marlon and people like lilly#all of clems 'wow i feel so safe here :) and these guys seem smart :)' personal dialogue around ericsons makes me 😭#she was so happy to be at ericsons. and they turn against her so fast when she was more of a victim than any of them#aj is a literal baby. do not treat him like an adult who can make fully rationalized decisions. hes a baby and he only knows survival#at least they slowly get over it after clem comes back (some take longer than others...)#but the lack of compassion in voting to kick them out is heartbreaking. she was heartbroken#and thats not acknowledged as much as it should be#posting this old drafted post now cuz it expands my feelings on clems broken heartedness about the marlon situation#it speaks#twdg

I diagnose her with tism.
will do nontism pink icons too. wanted to add the infinity symbol somewhere but uh… I couldn’t get it to look fine so w/e.
#pieces of powder#lemons random rants#autism#autistic#autistic icons#autism icons#pride icons#icons#if these look bad it’s because I cropped them- cuz adobe doesn’t have an online photo editor anymore.#I mean it does but I ain’t signing for that#anyway sorry I couldn’t fit the infinity symbol in. didn’t know where to put it.#I relate so much to powder and Marcy…#I kinda wonder if Marcy has a bad home life from some of the dialogue she has. maybe an orphan but that’s a stretch#but powder is very tism coded. I have tism sense you get it with your diagnosis#or if you don’t have a diagnosis you still have it they just don’t want you to know about it cuz ur too powerful#I’m like a blend of powder and marcy.#anyway I rlly love the#art style of the show it reminds me of that game ppl used to play…#anyway again sorry about the symbol but if you’ve seen my book cover#you know graphic design isn’t my passion

I've been reading the emesis blue screenplay whenever I have a bit of free time, and it's so interesting to see the small changes they've made to some scenes.
But also, the knowledge that Fritz was supposed to have visions of being mistreated in prison in that one scene when he has a panic attack at scout's house makes me go hhhhhh
#60 seconds till mission begins rambles#If you can afford it; go support Fortress Films on patreon if you want access to the screenplay too; it's just 2 dollars a month#Honestly the script does clear up a lot of things not because the movie is confusing but because I am bad at listening to dialogues and#having all conversations spelt out with descriptions of the smaller details that are happening in the scene is super helpful#like who is seeing what in the corner of their eyes or what is in the black suitcase at the end when we see it open or#that one scene when soldier is talking to the police officers over radio to find out about who stole the black hearse and where it's headed#I didn't realise the guy who goes “roll down the window; I can't see your face” is the same guy who does the muffled screams 2 seconds late#there's a surprising amount of smaller scenes that were omitted which would have changed the feeling of some scenes a lot#It's only implied in the movie but Fritz puts Scout into the coffin after he's killed; that's actually described in the screenplay but#Instead of having a solemn moment about it the screenplay has him HURL scout into the coffin and then proceed to FIGHT for his life alksjdh#Screenplay Fritz is a different flavour of Fight and Flight and he has some more nightmares; let the man REST for a second#Ok no more spoilers; go read it yourself >:)

I’m enjoying FF7 Rebirth more than Remake so far (I was so sick of being in that uglyass city), but as someone who is not familiar with the og FF7 the sudden party member affection system absolutely blindsided me
#me a completionist that wants to be besties w everyone: yeah of course I’ll climb the clock tower w you aerith!!#aerith later when we meet up w the rest of the party: we were on a DATE 🥰 teehee#me: 🤠 what#bg3 sucker-punched me like this too. cant i just hang out with my friends??? 😭#what about this was even romantic?? 😭 we just walked up some stairs#i wish rebirth was default platonic with the option of romantic routes if you choose a romantic dialogue option or something#i should be able to max affection without threat of romance#like aerith’s quest in costa del sol is killing me. i want to complete it so bad but i can’t unless i go on a date with her#and i can’t do it like that’s zack’s girl lmao even if he’s dead i can’t help feeling like it’s the zack inside of cloud drawing#cloud and aerith together like that (in a romantic sense)#it’s like the same reason i can’t get behind repliku w namine or sora w namine#the true source of those feelings come from someone else/someone else’s memories and feelings#and/or those feelings are for someone else#so it feels like a lie to me. it’s not the truth. idk#I’m a big fan of the friendship between cloud and aerith. they were my faves in remake#but new context makes romance between them feel kinda :/#you know what i mean? idk#anyway. please just let me be best friends with everyone

*Set in a potential future, post-reveal*
Crime Boss, holding teenaged Anya by the throat while his goons encircle a heavily injured Loid, Franky, Yuri, and other agents: This fight was cute and all, but now, it’s time to die! Along with the rest of your pathetic little family—
*gets cut off by being punched so hard in the face he goes flying*
Anya, landing in her mother’s arms: Mom!
Yor: Hi, Sweetie. Sorry I wasn't here sooner.
Crime Boss, slowly picking himself up: Seriously? How many of you freaks do I have to fight?
Yor, setting Anya down and pulling out her weapons: Oh, I’m the only one who matters. See, you messed with my daughter, so now I’m going to FUCK YOU!
Crime Boss: …
Loid: …
Franky: *one eyebrow raises*
Yuri: WHAT?!
Anya, whispering awkwardly: It’s “fuck you up”, Mom
Yor: Wait…What did I say?
Crime Boss: *yelling while charging her*
#spy x family#hazbin hotel dialogue#yor's good at asking people if it's ok to kill them - not so much the smack talk#my ultimate dream for this series is an avengers-style final battle with some scary big-bad vs all the dangerous people in anya's life#i just think it would be fun#(bonus points if it's set when all the kids are older so some of them like becky have time to train to be badasses too)

according to the lost legends book, ford does know dipper’s real name. it’s *stan* that doesn’t know it, and ford calls him on it during a moment where they’re arguing over who does a better job looking after the twins
Gonna be honest here, even though I've read it I remember almost nothing...
#the only thing I remember was from the last story where little Stanley stole the chain(?)#and all the different artstyles and vibes. some plots here and there but all dialogue is escaping me#I guess a re-read is due....#kinda weird people got caught up in this and all (but what did I expect from the 'decipher things. underlying mystery' fandom. my fault)#not art#ask#anonymous#gravity falls#I'll try to be more careful when making stuff. I promise#that was just a dumb idea that came to my head#people said it was mentioned on journal 3 but again. I don't remember:')#not gonna stay here apologizing and feeling bad tho#it's a stupid comic take it or leave it. don't look too deep into it. it takes place in another dimension

Need low stakes DLC Psychonauts 2 levels in, at this point, anyone’s mind. Fuck shit up and kick ass in the interns brains? Hell yeah. Otto? Sasha round 2? Milla round 2? ANY Aquato? I’d eat it up om nom nom. I’m begging. As a treat for me please.
#psychonauts 2#psychonauts#double fine#and listen. fucking. it gets more and more obvious that Otto has Something going on with every playthrough#first play through I was thinking about literally anything else and I didn’t catch it#but going back and doing all the dialogue and keeping an eye on him?#Otto was sus as HELL#Like fully unresolved I think canonically he’s still up to some shit#he didnt mind wipe a family to stop a genocide a la putting tape over a cracking dam#but he’s still shady#and I think they kinda wrote him as a red herring#which is wild bc I did not give a fuck about Otto my first time through I was trying to connect so many other puzzle pieces#but yeah DLC content would be good but also… Psychonauts three???#it’s be too surface level for it to be just straight plot line Otto is the big bad tho so idk.#psychonauts 1+2 tells such a tight well thought out story that’s been cooking for two decades. I wouldn’t want a third game if it didn’t#lovingly expand the world and characters and story. but damn I got questions.#hence: low stakes dlc please and thank you have a good day 👍

I see the new episode has recently dropped, but I'm disinclined to bother with watching it myself...
Those who have subjected themselves to it: a penny for your thoughts?
#admin talks#helluva boss critical#not just because I don't care about the characters in it (Fizz enjoyers are valid though. hope they didn't butcher your boy too bad)#but also because it seems looong#the whole video is thirty minutes. that's the longest runtime we've had yet for this series#and the talking Christmas tree just doesn't seem worth it. albeit I'm kind of curious about how he sounds but I can find that out from like#five seconds of dialogue#either way. I wanna hear some opinions

not to be bitter about the Durins again but it will never stop pissing me off to a burning degree that in the movies Kíli dies off in a little corner with no one but one elf he met two days ago around, and she’s nerfed to the point she’s utterly helpless until RIGHT AFTER he’s killed. It feels so bullshit and unfulfilling. I remember me and a friend were huge fans of the Durins (her even more than me) as well as the little Kíli and Tauriel side story back when the movies came out, and we watched it in theatres and she literally said she would never watch that scene again bc it disappointed her so badly. She skips it to this day. Bc why the fuck did they have Kíli die for an elf he barely knew (I like Tauriel but it is true— they’ve known each other for maybe two or three days total) over the family he ran out into battle to defend, the family he set out on the quest with and the family that he was so proud of. Why was he not with his brother, or trying to defend his uncle who was still very much alive and in danger? Tauriel literally just serves to get Kíli killed in that scene, bc they nerf her (CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD. Even against a tough orc she should be holding her own) but have Legolas out there holding his own, and it is nowhere NEAR as emotionally devestating as the single sentence we’re given in the book of how Kíli and Fíli went down defending their uncle. I can almost excuse the change in how Fíli dies bc it does hold emotional weight, but Kíli’s death going from the devotion of family even to his own doom into dying for an elf he has puppy love for while being totally cut off from the other dwarves fucking killed the scene for me. And there isn’t really even a good payoff for Tauriel afterward either. We just leave her there regretting she ever loved him. It hurts me so damn much, and not least of which is because for every video someone does as a tribute to Thorin and his nephews, it always takes a sharp left turn into Tauriel watching Kíli die all by himself and it doesn’t even feel related to the other’s deaths. I think it would have felt much more like the best of both if they’d kept Kíli dying defending his family, and then have Tauriel come to him as he’s dying. But that’s not what happened. It fucking sucks. I promise I do like the movies but I will stand hard by saying that it’s weakest writing is the latter half of the second and the former half of the third movie. It only really picks up to consistently good scenes at Thorin’s battle with Azog in my opinion. Sorry for another brief hater moment but man. Man.
#lotr#the hobbit#sons of durin#thorin oakenshield#kili#fili#kili and fili#(their last name isn’t Durin but I’m tempted to tag it as such since I see a lot of people use that.#though to be fair what other character is named Kíli or Fíli out there lmao)#I fucking LIKE TAURIEL. but she is not more important than his family. like she is a crush he has but UR BROTHER JUST DIED MAN.#UR UNCLE IS ABOUT TO. IM SORRY BUT TAURIEL SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE HERSELF AGAINST A SINGLE GODDAMN ORC.#ISNT SHE A GENERAL??#PLEASE. it hurts so bad. and they have the GALL to remind us abt Dís w the stone afterward. like family was at all involved#in how Kíli died beyond what sent him up the stairs. I don’t even think his last thoughts were portrayed as his family in the movie.#it looks like all he’s thinking about is Tauriel. not the fact that his mother will never see him again. not that he failed his uncle.#not even that he didn’t get to avenge his brother.#then Thranduil comes in and it feels awful bc she doesn’t seem to get any payoff for her character.#and this is a personal nitpick but the dialogue there just. it doesn’t end satisfyingly.#the ‘because it was real’ like never felt impactful to me. it actually felt kind of cheesy?? Tauriel’s lines actually have weight to them#and then Legolas movie bombs that scene too and we just. forget about Tauriel over there VERY LIKELY dying from elven grief#’go talk to the 12 year old in the north. for some reason he’s already called Strider’#and Kíli’s body is RIGHT THERE. they’re doing nostalgia bait and MCU level ‘ohh this guy’ shit RIGHT AFTER THE DURIN’S DIE

Finished playing Weird West...Interesting concept and some of the ideas but daaaaaammnnnnn... repetitive with too many too similar settings.. Not enough variety.. and not enough NPCs with dialogue trees that lead somewhere...Also there could have been more NPCs with just..random lore and stories of their own life?...but no... They didnt use that potential
And worst of all... For a game thats supposed to be a Weird West it wasnt weird enough u_u
#kudos for the Cedric Peyravernay portraits of npcs tho#me thinks i finished playing only cause i actually bought the game#OUUGHHHH hhhh it had so much potential#cause the visuals and the isometric thing are grrreat#i love that shit in a game#and the controls werent too bad#but its so empty#soooo empty#soooooooooooooo empty#and kinda.. bland#just not doing enough weirdness#and too many tropes that didnt have to be there#im judging it as someone who played much fo1 and fo2#and this was similar but even tho those games are often also repetitive...in settings n assets.. they balance it with tons of dialogue#n more solutions#but I DID LIKE YOU COULD CLIMB STUFF IN WEIRD WEST#n choke people out :) n hide them...#....#tfw the survival of the whole world depends on you finding some emotions towards its denizens#but they dont have enough character to properly evoke some emotional response in the player#not really

There are still people that think Life is Strange is a genuinely good game???
#it has some of the worst dialogue in existence#literally one of the first things it does is bash on a woman for being too much of a ''girly girl'' and getting male attention#the choice thing doesn't matter because the ending undoes it all#anti life is strange#it was always bad#the sequel being bad makes sense because it is Bad#people only liked it because of the sapphics#and chloe is a fucking horrible person#toxic af#of course she and max didn't work out they were codependent teens#it is a surface level not like other girls YA fantasy#steeped in sexism#even the romance of chloe and max is lacking#life is strange#is the sequel even bad or is just not doing what you wanted it to
