Every now and then I rediscover my love for Forging Steel and I go temporarily insane.
The music. The characters. The voice acting!!!! Shoutout to Sonya Leslie, Dave Fennoy and Megan Hollingshead (Vishen, Nicabar and Ranoah respectively) especially for filling the already entertaining dialogue with so much life and character. It's one of the most tedious instances in the game and yet I kept going back to it because listening to these people was so damn entertaining. Top this with Stan LePard's absolute banger of a battle music ("TT6-B Devourer" and "Steel Team Six") that are, to this day, among my favourite tracks in the entire OST of the game and you know you are in for a good time.
I don't know how many people remember Almorra's battle theme at the end of this chapter. I wasn't. The good thing about it is that I got to reexperience it like when I heard it the first time and it's amazing. Brendon Williams understood the assignment.
#gw2#guild wars 2#forging steel#the reason why I'm writing out all these names is because there's a lot of talent in this game and we barely speak of them by name#and they deserve some more recognition#icebrood saga spoilers#SoundCloud

Hi, I present you Bud Illis AND Glenn Poeff fanarts, pretty neat huh
I think Bud and Glenn would have fought side by side quite often and I wanna learn dynamic poses, hope you like it ~ (° ~ ° ~)
The one on the ground is supposed to be a teleportation magic circle and the one in the air shield magic
They just look the same cuz laziness
..........................................................................................
Here's some pretty cool reference pictures in case you'll need it (the rest was just kinda freestyled)
I struggled drawing this pose so much and as you can see it's still off but maybe someone succeeds, who knows ٩(ˊvˋ*)و
#bud illis#glenn poeff#the more i draw glenn the weirder it is how unpopular he is#give him some love#they're both so op tbh#a highest grade mage and a swordmaster??#that's cool#anywayyyy#bud illis deserves more recognition#glenn poeff deserves more recognition#lout of the count's family#lcf#tcf#lcf fanart#my art

"A Snapping Sound" still lives rent free in my head.
I'd be rich if I put a quarter in a jar every time something has reminded me of or made me want to reread this masterpiece of a story.
#a snapping sound#snapping sound#very few things haunt my butt like this one did#literally every single cemetery wingtip pair of shoes some antique items or mentions of missing people cases involving certain things#heck I passed a specialty tobacco shop the other day and the smell made me think of it#incredibly impressive since I read a few fanfics a day and this is the only one that actually stuck with me like tbis#deserves so much more recognition and love because holy hell#danny phantom

You ever look at your notes (because you like freling validation), and realise that the cool artist you like is screaming in your tags. You ever. You ever see The Guy That Made The Cool Thing That Has You Rolling Around On The Floor Like A Madman send you an ask, or comment on your post. This is a cry for help. How do I respond.
#genuinely audibly screamed the first time that happened.#i wish the same kind of experience tenfold on every skilled but for some reason incredibly overlooked artist honestly#both because they absolutely deserve more recognition and because i need to study their reactions to it too.

#plagiarism#james somerton#hbomberguy#just wanted to give it its own post#it was kinda lost under the absolute unit#(of good commentary and a much needed summary of the More Absolute Unit that is the video in question)#of lrb#i was conflicted abt this dude for a while like. i wasn't A Fan Subbed To His Patreon right#but the way he 'said' some really insightful shit and also dropped some really nonsensical rancid comments randomly in the middle of it.#yeah#guess it's because he Wasn't Fucking Saying Anything But The Rancidity Himself HUH?#nomás que eso fuera 😹😹#& like i'm laughing rly hard at the audacity but also it's really fucking sad & infuriating to have had the actual authors of the commentar#that i enjoyed obfuscated like that. and obv not just bc of the individual enjoyment or insight i might've gotten from them but#they were fully robbed of an audience#or just fucking. recognition of their memory in the case of the people whose words were stolen who died from fucking aids#like????#yeah i hope this fully ended this man's whole career for good#but more importantly that the authors of the works he ripped off get the attention they deserve#it's the fucking soulless business major of it all innit#/j#viitalks#gayplagiarismgate

It is so fun watching Orym awkwardly go through the song and dance of formal military presentation - the speeches in front of cheering crowds, the rewarding of titles and honors far too overwrought for the bloody work they represent (Orym could kill someone in half the time it would take him to say, I am Orym, Savior Blade of the Tempest) - because it's possible there's nothing this guy gives less of a shit about than his own accolades or legacy. Orym just wants to be good, even as he becomes less and less certain what that means, even as he thinks that it would be so much easier to give up on that. He wants to feel like he's done something right, for maybe the first time since Will and Derrig died.
And so he fumbles through the rituals, and holds up his shield for the people of Zephrah to bear witness to, and extracts what really matters from Keyleth (who understands the frivolity of this all better than anybody) referring to him as a Savior Blade of the Tempest; not a fancy name for people to call him, but affirmation that he can save people, someone, anyone, at least this time. At least with the Hells at his side.
#orym of the air ashari#critical role#cr spoilers#cr orym#cr3#really tho i saw so much talk of orym getting the praise and recognition he deserves meanwhile orym's standing there taking it like ://///#so i was delighted when the savior blade of the tempest title was bookended by keyleth commiserrating and offering him some very good advic#needed that way more than a cool nickname!!#forgot to acknowledge the of course genuine love and camraderie with the people of zephrah in this#but to work that in honestly would require untangling the essential role of patriotism and nationalism in military structures#even if just to say “zephrah is One of The Good Militarized States bc exandria is a world where those exist!” or whatever#crposting

I had an epiphany last night and, listen...
The reason is why I love Nie Huaisang the most and why he is my absulute favorite is because he is an Endmond Dantes of MDZS.
He had his Count of Monte-Christosque revenge and I love him for that, my mastermind genius.
#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#grandmaster of demonic cultivation#the untamed#cql#nie huaisang#nhs#nie huaisang was an absulute baddass and we need to talk about it more#my baby deserves of the recognition#nie huaizang is count of monte christo#i said what i said#i love me some good revenge#on the other hand i just realized that shi wudu shi qingxuan and he xuan#all three of them make up nie huaisang#mxtx needed my baby in tgcf and devided him into three different persons#that's how iconic nhs is#black water arc is just nhs lmao#tgcf#tian guan ci fu#heaven official's blessing#he xuan#shi qingxuan#shi wudu#spoilers#mdzs spoilers#tgcf spoilers

it's so crazy how few historical fiction novels are like sharon kay penman's. the way that they're built out of the skeleton of the historical record seems so obvious, but there's so few people who are actually willing to commit to it in the way that she did. it seems like so often that's just a starting point which gets reformed to fit a coherent narrative, but she makes no real attempt to do that. there's themes and foils and patterns, but first and foremost it is a reconstruction. you can't really know what someone who lived that long ago was like, only what they did, and you can feel how she takes these isolated, dramatic events and builds a whole life around them. the books are nothing more than an answer to the question 'what might someone have been like, what could the history between these people have been, to possibly explain something like this?' the ability to string together a handful of facts and events from medieval chronicles to create people that feel so real, and psychology and relationships that develop so naturally that these distant, seemingly impenetrable choices suddenly feel so immediate and clear is just beyond belief. you know this probably wasn't actually how things happened, but it doesn't matter because it was something like this. the particulars are less important the crushing awareness that at one point all of this made sense. there was a time when all of this was right now. the world is unrecognizable and exactly the same. that's something which sounds very simple but is incredibly difficult to accomplish.
you come to know these people so well, their loves and hatreds and ambitions and failures, and those things are rarely resolved in the end. you know them from the time that they're children, you watch each one of them die, and none of it means anything in particular except that they were a human being. things which seem like they must be building to some tragic fallout end in anticlimax. things which seem utterly inconsequential in the moment manifest again decades later in cataclysmic disaster. and then you see it all play out again from the beginning with their children, and their children's children. all these uncanny echoes, this endlessly unfolding palimpsest of lives, each laid over the triumphs and mistakes of those who came before. i've never read anything so epic with so much mastery over the micro and macro levels of history. it's the minute, seemingly inconsequential everyday details, which build into a lifetime, which builds into generation of lives, which builds into the rise and fall of kingdoms and empires. it's the merciless endlessly turning wheel of fortune that replays the same songs in different keys again and again for all time. a person is both an individual with free will, and the prisoner of their blood and circumstances. somehow everything has infinite weight, is tied to everything that has come before and will come after, is the culmination of someone's entire existence—their pains and joys and fears and hopes—and yet is simultaneously completely meaningless, just one more victim of fate in an endless procession of lives and choices. the whole impotent tragedy of humanity is laid out in front of you and it's so repulsive and beautiful. it's deep love and unfathomable, senseless horror briefly and miraculously reverberating in a vacuum, an absurd aberration fading into silence.
if it's not obvious these books have made me cry like 10 different times
#sharon kay penman#here be dragons#historical fiction#that's my ted talk#i just can't express how much i love these books#and it's a real tragedy that they don't get the same recognition as some more popular literary historical fiction#which truthfully i think is mostly because they're not traditionally narrative enough to make into a commercially successful adaption#their scope is simultaneously way too big and much too small#so i am taking it upon myself dkalsj#it doesn't matter if you like historical fiction it doesn't matter if you care about medieval history#literally everyone should read them#they're some of the best books i've ever read#i think probably my second favorites of all time only behind villette#the prose is certainly good though not standout but the characters and narrative mastery is absolutely unmatched#like this is true craftsmanship this is the paradigm you know#i know i haven't really been active enough in a while for people to trust my opinion#but i will say to my credit that i have pretty absurdly high standards for what i call great literature#and i think that these books are objective excellent and deserve to be recognized as such#and that's what i have to say 😔

ERASED ending is amazing and it wraps up the story perfectly and it has really beautiful moments in it and reducing all this to “that romance anime with disappointing ending” or “ThEn YoUr Gf CaNt WaIt FoR yOu BuT yOuR kIlLeR cAn” is a crime against art, storytelling and common sense
#i will literally fight anyone who does this#erased#erased anime#boku dake ga inai machi#really watch it withot thinking of romance for one dmn time#this story deserves more recognition for what it's reaaly good at and not for some potential romance plots thank you

This is a Breha Organa, Queen of Alderaan, appreciation post
We have so little about her, but she's such a beautiful character, such a beautiful woman in every way, so I'm hyping this underrated Star Wars woman up!
At age 16 she completed her three challenges of the mind, body and heart to show herself worthy of Alderaan's throne.
She fell climbing the Appenza peak, loses her heart and lungs but survived after inmediatly getting mechanical pulmonodes.
She send aid to planets ravaged by the Separatists. Doctors, engineers, teachers, food, medicine, materials and anything else they needed.
She gave Bail the idea of an alliance and an active opposition to Palpatine's regimen.
She fund the rebelion with the Crown wealth and brought other wealthy people to help the cause.
She adopted a baby and loved her as her own, loved her daughter more than her own life.
Made Bail realized that war would be necesary at some point, and helped him understand that wasn't against Alderaan's values of pacifism.
Always had time for her daughter, even with all her Queen duties, her work as Minister of Education and her and Bail's rebel activities, she always had time to play with Leia, to walk with her, to teach her everything a mother should teach her children, to give her baby a bath, to feed her, to rock her to sleep.
She managed to keep Alderaan free during 2 decades of the authoritarian Empire.
She gain the loyalty of the people of Alderaan. People didn't fear her, people trust her.
Made Tarkin believe he had walked into a drunk party and not into a rebel meeting.
Wanted to save every person they could as soon as she saw the death star took position above them.
Mastered hand-to-hand combat.
Teached Alderaan's next generation and youngs about Alderaan's values, culture between other things
#star wars#breha organa#obi wan kenobi#leia organa#bail organa#kenobi series#queen breha#queen of alderaan#alderaan#the queen of alderaan deserves more recognition and love#sw has a lot of amazing mothers but mama Breha is really the best of them all ❤️❤️❤️#leia princess of alderaan#queen's hope#queen's shadow#the princess and the scoundrel#from a certain point of view#eclipse short story#revenge of the sith#Leia Organa wouldn't have been Leia Organa without her and Bail#put some respect on their names#give the queen of alderaan some appreciation and respect
