this is nothing a bloody cigarette and cutting off my foot and taking a key out of my dead cellmate’s stomach wont fix! and also maybe a backwards baseball cap to signify the passage of time and yellow filtered mexico and-
I will never not stress the importance of the fight between John and his demon!!
Not just to me as a simp for that idiot but just for him in general, coming full circle and experiencing the biggest character development in game. The sheer tension and brilliance and just fun of watching John take action and be the leader, the protector he wants to be and going toe to toe with a damn demon.
Win or lose he's finally taken that step and its euphoric in a sense to see it and it will always be one of my favourite scenes in game that had me going ape shit when I first played it.
John only gets one big moment with his demon and I like to think its one of the most poignant because of what it is and what it means for John as a character. Even though he's being yelled at for squaring up to it he doesn't shy away and doesn't play in to the "Cowardly Lion" role he's been in the entire time.
pov you're some noble attending a royal gathering or whatever in camelot and you're all excited to meet the prince and then you get there and he's just hanging out with his twink of a manservant the whole night
option explicit ("you should be using this" nevermind this makes you life 10x harder and using certain variables completely impossible)
arrays start at index 0 by default, but you can also use 1-indexed arrays. no matter which (!!), dynamically setting array size will make the upper bound that number. so redim array(10) will give you an array with either 10 or 11 elements. have fun.
arrays sometimes (always? idk) have "flexible" bounds. which means you can accidentally fuck up your indexing and get random unrelated values from who knows where. at least c gives you a segmentation fault error.
thank you to this tweet for giving me the perfect opportunity to ramble about edwin’s outfit during the confession scene because oh how i love it
the juxtaposition between these two scenes and what edwin wears is so good because he goes from an outfit he chose and put together when he planned to confess vs a blood stained shirt when he actually did but what i think a lot of people don’t realise is that edwin isn’t wearing pyjamas when he’s in hell, he’s wearing undergarments. he’s in an undershirt and drawers, which was typical edwardian underwear and it is such a perfect way to show how vulnerable he is in that moment. so often clothes are used as armour or a way to make oneself feel more confident and that’s exactly what edwin is doing when he made himself look, as niko says, really nice. a nice outfit and feeling good about yourself can go a long way in making yourself feel more ready to, i don’t know, confess your love to your best friend of 30 years. now compare that to what edwin’s wearing when he actually confesses and you immediately feel a sense of vulnerability and almost nakedness in that situation because the modern day equivalent is standing there in your boxers. all of that armour, all that confidence is gone, he is both literally and metaphorically bare. in the end it’s just edwin, in the most basic sense, baring his soul to charles and i think it’s so so beautiful
so a few days ago I saw this post, and the accompanying tags from @brrmian :
the idea of Cody being simultaneously so cool on the surface and constantly overanalysing every interaction stuck with me so much that I ended up spitting all my thoughts into existence
