yeah i do think it really sucks actually that we finally get dwarf lore this game but it’s handled so poorly and completely at the expense of the elves. i also dont like that it flattens the dwarves & ignores what lore we have seen previously.
@ikarons pointed out to me that kal-sharok specifically is the thaig that destroyed the original cadash thaig for sheltering elves fleeing the tevinter emperium after the fall of artlathan (which is a huge glaring piece of information to exclude here). kal-sharok has both been previously abandoned to die by their own people and also committed horrific acts of violence and they are completely separate from orzammar (and resent them!) but this game presents the dwarves as this homogeneous entity that doesn’t hold any fault or complexity... we know there is a huge variation in dwarf culture and politics that just doesn't get acknowledged at all; they do them a huge disservice by focusing entirely on Harding and how special she is and how evil the evanuris are.
this was a real missed opportunity in my opinion to give more depth to both the evanuris and the dwarves, but we lose all of that in this game because people can only be good or bad and we can’t have any nuance, it was all the evanuris's fault and they did it just because they're so evil. and we'll blame the elves, too, while we're at it. sad!
#sorry this is an elaboration to a reply on that original post#also harding just fucking annoys me sorry.#that's just personal preference baby we're all allowed that#anyways. im trying not to bash too hard on this bc i do get it. it's nice to finally get dwarf stuff. but.... sigh#also can i say as someone that never played the descent dlc the information around the titans in this game is conveyed SO poorly#i dont even know for sure if that one suit of armor you fight is meant to be sha brytol. cus they dont explain it at all lol#datv critical#datv spoilers#da posting

Zam: dude spoke’s fighting style is like so defensive and it’s really hard for me cause in 1v1s i’m very aggro
Zam: I need to learn the art of the defensive player
Mapicc: Yeah, he’s a— he’s a Manepear counter. You know Manepear’s one— like one of Manepear’s fully killed, like kitted out situations was cause Spoke killed him?
Zam: Yeahhh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that fight, yeah.
—
wonder how differently that fight could’ve gone if spoke was fighting and they put someone else in the control room (especially considering the cough focus stuff cough)
#sketchy.txt#lifesteal spoilers#i do wonder how different things would’ve turned out#“a manepear counter’’#and you put that guy in the control room…#okay like logically i know why but like#rips my hair out#that cannon was basically useless because of the load time#the moment the fight was moved from spawn they should’ve just abandoned the cannon too#anyways yes i’m just salty that we didn’t get spoke legitimately fighting#and i know he probably prefers to not be on the field#but it’d be really cool 😭😭😭#destiny#ai clip bash#clips.mp4

The thing with Anakin TCW is that I try to reconcille both "versions" of Anakin, but because I keep in mind that at the end of the day, TCW is a serialized kids show, and he's also a general and in charge of a padawan so he must be really charismatic for that to work (long rambling ahead)
This show came in an era where shows ran long, with very random plots per episode and just very few that advanced "a plot", so characters that are new for the show get more development (since they were at zero), and Anakin with already three movies (technically 6 if we count the original trilogy), a mini series, and a bunch of books and comics, feels more flat for the very short narrative purposes.
The way i see it, TCW can be like seeing Anakin from someone's else eyes, like that's probably how Obi-Wan and Ahsoka and Rex saw him, cocky and sassy and fearless and daring and untouchable and cool and sometimes with anger coming from apparently nowhere, and the movies are the actual "omnipresent" look, we see how actually deeply fucked up and scared Anakin is!
TCW gives like a very pink tinted glasses view of him, a very standarized version of him, since the "otherness" that he has in the prequels was really hated (and with otherness i mean that he acts alienated and tormented, is because of the trauma, but also because he can be so easily read as neurodivergent and/or queer; movie Anakin looks like he might as well be a giant walking target for bullying, so to speak), so TCW Anakin looks like he totally would have never ever been bullied, he's the cool kid.
If I don't constantly keep on mind this is probably Ahsoka's POV, it can be a bit hard to connect, like the last episodes in TCW, when he sees Ahsoka, he's like 2 days before ROTS, and he looks so cheerful and normal and sassy, but then if you look at ROTS, he looks so tired and beaten up and just depressed after that battle. But Anakin, in AOTC and ROTS, in general, is a person that looks like doesn't even want to be there at all, he looks like he would rather turn invisible.
I don't have that many problems with Anakin in TCW except for certain arcs (looking at you clovis), because many things in the show do add to Anakin's narrative and character (or more like, pilling up even more trauma onto him for the big moment), but it's not a complete look because by the point we should see how he's dealing or coping with something the episode ends and the next episode is about something different. TCW is plot focused and there are very little "breathing" moments before the action, and is not very character focused. Which leaves the audience with the task of remembering that whatever happened in the show is another piece of the puzzle that may or may not fit perfectly with the character that was presented on the prequels.
"This episode very painfully reminds you that he was a slave, and he's angry about it, very angry...for one bit of the episode, let's go back to the fun action." It touches it, but it doesn't explore it, if you get what I mean? Like, we can only imagine if he had difficult weeks after that or how even was the conversation after all that whole mess, just as an example.
I agree that Anakin in TCW is a incomplete version of his character, because TCW focuses a lot on the Clones and Ahsoka and other little stories, however I also think it does add lots of stuff to explore, even if the show didn't explore it deeply, but touched on it.
And I understand too why it causes such a division, and why some may prefer the TCW version more, and why some may prefer only the movies version.
I mainly use the movies, and then take from TCW what I feel like it fits/makes sense for him, and shake TCW a little bit if i need to, although i still really love it : D
#rambling#anakin skywalker#star wars#tcw#i understand why some my prefer one over the other#what i dont understand is people bashing the movies and saying the show saved the era but alas#if i had to chose of course i would go with the movies like they show his character very well even with just posture and the way he moves#his intonation and talking too all of that added a lot to his character while in the animation there was very little range i think#im sure at some point none of this makes sense but oh well

so i wonder if anyone else has thoughts about mame's choices regarding sky vs tongrak's stories and how she tackled the complexity of loving and being loved.
when i first heard about love sea, i saw a lot of people say that fortpeat were just re-cast as sky and prapai but with tongrak being older and richer than mahasamut. personally, i think that's a pretty reductionist view because mame explored the idea of being afraid to love and be loved from very different angles and perspective in these two stories.
i will give that there are some similarities on the surface - peat's character does that whole 'pretends to hate it but secretly loves it' thing; the cat-like 'push and pull' thing and fort's character is still a overly excited, loveable golden retriever of a human being with a strong sense of self; also both sky and tongrak have had experiences which make them both fearful of 'love'.
but i think while sky's main fear is being loved, tongrak's is very much a fear of loving.
like, sky's story is very... raw. it's an exposed nerve, tender and painful and present. sky's fear is so immediately tied to his trauma which he's still in the throes of. the betrayal he faced was from the one who claimed to love him and it's telling that sky's first flashback is not triggered by his feelings FOR prapai but by prapai expressing his 'love' for him. this trauma is intimate and physical and close, but that means that the start of his healing journey can begin because of an external force (prapai) giving him that safety but also physically removing the threat. when sky begins to feel safe again, he is able to begin healing.
in contrast: tongrak's trauma is relatively... hmmm, separated (? not the best word but...) on a physical level. it doesn't make it less or even less painful (or more, or more painful), but his fear of love largely stems from how he sees the people immediately around him being hurt by love. he's internalised the idea that love doesn't last. mahasamut starts confessing his feelings pretty early on; like episode 4 mahasamut straight up goes, 'well you can't stop me from loving you' and tongrak's disapproving but he's not triggered. what's the difference between this and episode 10, i think, is that tongrak's actively fighting his own awareness of his feelings for mahasamut. it's why his fight or flight response is triggered by vie calling him out about his feelings in episode 8 and also why he tries to force parameters back into their relationship (my take: i don't care if you love me but i won't love you) in episode 10. but it's also why his healing doesn't actually come from an external force - yes, vie kind of knocks him out of his depressed stupor by hiding the bracelet, but note that tongrak's has that breakdown realisation ('please come back, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, can't you please come back to me? i'm afraid you'll end up hating me (emphasis added) if you love me') before he has that chat with vie. he's already realised that the root of his fear of mahasamut's love isn't the love itself, but the fear that if he admits his own love for mahasamut, it will eventually get betrayed. it's also why even after he resolves that he wants to try at a relationship with mahasamut, he still can't say it. at this point, his father's a non-entity in terms of the fear of him going after his loved ones - he's already been proven a weakling and a coward and also they're physically on the island so removed from jak that it shouldn't be an immediate fear anymore. no; this struggle is completely internal and it's why we linger on his heartbreaking attempts to confess (also, love sea had some pacing issues but i'm so so grateful they took time to show this part; bless fort for insisting on it!). tongrak's afraid to love but he pushes and pushes himself, and finally breaks through and its entirely on his own terms because of his own strength.
i'm not saying sky's weaker for (in a sense) needing someone else to rescue him before he could heal, but i think it just speaks to mame really telling quite a different story of healing with tongrak.
like... have you ever thought you'd healed from something and then it comes back in an unexpected way but then your response to the trigger is also different? the pain is there but it's... at once deeper but also more distant? a deep pulse rather than a high pitched shriek? and the way you go about beginning this new phase of healing is also different? i think that's whats happening here.
it's fascinating how us humans can fear vulnerability in so many ways, so many forms, on so many levels but i think the lesson mame's stories tell is that sometimes it really is worth it to become vulnerable. not with everyone, and not all the time (goodness, that would be foolish). but also, keep holding onto hope. keep looking for that right person, keep being kind to yourself and others. know that it's ok if your healing feels different, if you didn't catch it some point in the past, its not too late.
you'll be ok.
#my head is so full and i needed to get some of it out#this isn't super coherent and i'm very interested to see if anyone has thoughts on this or just disagree with this take#i'd love love love to discuss it pls reach out if you do *u*#prapaisky#mutrak#love in the air#love sea#also genuinely interested in having a discourse about mame that isn't just bashing/dismissing her/her work#i agree that her work isn't perfect and everyone has a right to preferring different things#and i'm very very new to bl (i've seen 2 shows - lita and love sea - and like 4 episodes of kinnporche)#so maybe i'm just...ignorant? but i don't get why people hate her work so much#it made me so sad to google lita and then overwhelmingly get the sense that there's something /wrong/ with me for liking it as much as i di#tongrak#sky#love sea the series meta#love in the air meta#rambles about shows i'm watching#<my posts>

What’s Coming…
To celebrate Cloche’ birthday (5/12), we will hold a Birthday Bash. Which includes a limited ask event where you can send Cloche your birthday wishes, and get a written or drawn response back! OC interactions are welcome too.
[Notes] [Card]
• Hello hello! For the past month, I’ve been working on this since I know I’ll be pretty darn busy once it’s actually May… (I don’t even know if I can make Epel art in time 😭😭)
• Compared to last year, I do think it’d be neat if I can actually make a groovy in time for the day- but that’ll depend on if I have the time/energy- The last couple months before graduation is hitting HARD.
• I’ve been debating on making an interview vignette but we’ll see-
• Since this is just a birthday thing and not mixed in with something else like last year, I think I’ll just keep this one simple(r) than before.
• Hehe- Bouquet’s gonna be a surprise ^^
• I’ll admit I was a little bit overwhelmed by last year, but it was fun regardless! I still have a wish saved from last year, which for some reason Tumblr flagged and didn’t let me see until months later, but I’m overall excited to grow up on this hell site with you all.
#I think some people preferred an earlier notice so here it is!#oc: cloche🎊#cat scribblez 🌸#cloche’ birthday bash 🎊#twisted wonderland#twst#twst oc#twst ocs#twst yuu#yuusona#twisted wonderland oc#twst art#twst fanart#twisted wonderland art#twisted wonderland fanart#twst birthday

I love how Dave Filoni and George Lucas pulled a Yu-Gi-Oh 4kids dub on the clones. Without the inhibitor chip, the clones are highly trained soliders that had to put their feelings aside after the betrayal of the Jedi (weather they knew order 66 was always part of the plan) and kill them but still giving them free agency to resist the order. Showing that even though the clones are slaves to the Republic they still have free will to resist an atrocity. But with the inhibitor chips they give the clones, who basically have no agency with their life already, have even less agency and make them the thing they swear they weren't, mindless droids. Completely striping them of what little freewill and personality they had and cementing their fate as only having one purpose, killing the Jedi.
#a tragedy vs the horrors#and personally i don't think i made my point that eloquently#also for context Yu-Gi-Oh original concept is that when you lose all your life points you die#but in the 4kids English dub they can't have death in their kid show so they send players to hell instead of dying#im also aware the inhibitor chip where made to make it easier for kids to understand why the clones would kill the jedi#plus make it easier to write clones with good relationships with the jedi and not seem like they had ulterior motives#im not sure if i prefer the inhibitor chip or not#but since im a tragedy enjoyer i kinda like the horror of the inhibitor chip#swtcw#clone wars#clone troopers#republic commando#repcomm#this isn't bashing the clone wars as i said already i like the tragedy and hopelessness the inhibitor chip adds to the story#(its still a little bit of a copout)

In the midst of this discussion, I have to paraphrase a bit but the following was actually expressed:
Both (straight) women and (straight) men have a problem with insisting on impossible standards in the dating market. So many women nowadays want a man who is six-foot-something, in finance making six figures, not overweight, etc., and they don't realize that it's a very small percentage of men who satisfy all of those criteria. And men make this mistake too: they want a woman who is not on the left, not taking some kind of antidepressent, not overweight...
I know it could be viewed as just a silly flippant comment by an early-20's conservative cultural commentator, but I... don't even know how to feel about our current times where it's even halfway credible to suggest the analog of "over six feet, six figures" (as an unreasonable standard) is "not on the left, not on antidepressents". That's just weird in multiple different ways, yet has enough of a vague ring of plausibility about it that someone might actually say this.
A day or two after I saw part of the above-linked podcast episode, Aella published a post which opens by mentioning a study result saying that women (in 2006!) equally value a man being 6' instead of 5'6'' and a man making an additional $175k a year. I had to double-check to make sure I wasn't misreading that salary increase figure by an order of magnitude. (The study also shows that being 5'11.5' instead of 5'8'' -- my height on a good day -- is equivalent to $138k difference in income.)
I know I'm probably just fixating on particularly dumb comments/data, but the dating world continues to look depressing, folks. Well, at least as long as it continues to be predominantly online.
#dating and relationships#chris williamson#i actually hadn't seen any chris williamson for a while#first of his podcast episodes i'd begun watching in a long time#i had a fairly high opinion of him and it's now wavering#he just seems determined have whoever will bash feminism#brett cooper just seems straight-up conservative#of course the depressing dating preference statistic#means a whole lot less in a world of not-meeting-online dating#depression#height#personal income#i don't even make half of $138k *total*

istg i cant find any bruise fanfics that don't have nya bashing in them
Like some bruise shippers use that fact that they ship bruise to justify them unnessecerily bashing her in their edits, fanfics ect
btw i love bruise and i have nothing against them i just don't agree with bashing anybody because they "got in the way" of a ship that was never going to be canon
#same would go for geo bashing because you prefer lava#ninjago#ninjago bruise#ninjago cole#ninjago jay#ninjago nya

Thoughts on this TikTok?? I agree with what their saying but I do also feel there is a lack of female centred content in this fandom
https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS6U3otrs/
the way i knewww what video it was gonna be before opening it
valid points !!! mhm yah. i have a massive yap about this sitting in my drafts that i'm too scared to post but like,,, yeah. there is a lack of female-centered content compared to the men! absolutely, but it's very much a two-way street.
a lot of people who complain about the lack of content do nothing to add to it, and instead put their energy into bashing mlm ships or content. it's very much,,,, if you have the time to make a caurosel post on tiktok about how much you hate jegulus, you had the time to make one about jily headcanons that you like and encourage more. or to go to the comments of a fic that you liked and encourage and compliment the author, or to comment on videos that you do like etc etc etc - boost the content you want to see, don't bash the content you don't want to see.
and it definitely falls into a kind of spiral on tiktok. 100% because a lot of people there are posting for traction so they'll rec or reference the fics that everyone knows so that more people like it. and the algorithm thrives off of hate more than positivity so if you're looking for traction (ew) then it makes "more sense" to be hateful (though i can't imagine you're having much fun in fandom, i.e "whats a [character] headcanon that you hate?" videos rather than asking what people like)
butttt my fyp is always full of female-centric content because i engage with it. there's a lot of accounts centered around them, a lot of cosplayers etc etc. even then! if someone is overly negative about about a ship in my comments i'll toss them recs for another one. or if they're yelling in my comments about the fact i post jegulus, i'll chuck over the @'s of some of my mutuals that focus on jily and it does nothing to quench their anger actually because they're angry for the sake of being angry.
so like,,,, valid points! i think the lack of female-centric content in fandom is something to talk about, absolutely! i literally put together the femininomenon fest for that reason
BUTTTT i think a good proportion of those that bring it up in comment sections etc aren't actually fostering that discussion, if anything they're putting people off of it. if you want to see a change in fandom you need to be the change and not wait for those "above" you to start it (i.e the bit in the video about no big female centric fics - fandom is an individual experience for your own exploration, and if you're waiting for a "big" fic to encourage you to engage with something??? hm). another issue is that people don't search for fics anymore, which ties into that tiktok spiral above, but they wait for them to be recommended to them. which,,, nothing wrong with that! but if you're harping on about not seeing something and then doing nothing to find it? it's not going to come on a silver platter. and by "be he change" i don't mean bang out a 600k fic, nor do i mean by a fandom-wide change, but you can change your lil corner of it. you can search for the content you want to find, you can post your headcanons and ships, post your lil ideas, comment on fics you enjoy, encourageeee people to engage.
i mean the fact you have to search rather than have it handed over/open tiktok to a video? yeah, there's a discussion to be had, absolutely! and people have had this discussion numerous times, but if you're viewing fandom as a big trickle-down thing where you rely on others for what you enjoy, then there hasn't been some big change because very few of those complaining are actually *doing* anything (even just going to ao3 and searching like the good ol' days, just waiting for a viral tiktok to recommend some to them) - the conversation is had, there's a female centric fest once a year, there's female-centric accounts, there's people talking about it constantly but very few can hear them over the sound of themselves yelling in comments.
i hope this has come across okay! i'm not denying a lack of content, absolutely not. but instead of blowing up comments i put together a lil fest, or i open ao3, or i yap to my friends about headcanons etc etc.
because whilst i agree it's a fandom wide discussion, if you're waiting for the wider fandom to catch on, no change will ever happen because fandom isn't run by five people sitting on thrones that tell everyone what to do, it's just a massive group of loser producing what they want to produce or engaging in what they want to engage with.
soooo i think this video isn't intended as a "there's no lack of content!" kind of thing (based on the interactions me n op have had, they're a nice person) but more as a critique on how when people complain and you offer them solutions or a guiding hand to find what they want, they still complain because they don't actually *want* to engage with it, they just want to argue - which ofc isn't everyone! i'm generalising a lot here but that's the people this video is referring to. so yeah. i dont think greta is denying that fact, but i do think they raise v valid points on how it's like yelling into a void sometimes
#asks#robyn is ranting sorry#and also (again not denying the lack) but as fandoms becaome more puritanical there *will* be a lack#a solid 70% of the content i see about the girls is complaining about their portrayal in fics#or how theyve been 'bashed'#and whilst those definitely do exist!! a lot of the time it's just a flawed human being making natural mistakes like human beings do#and like.... yes prefer what you prefer. always! but if women cant be as complex as the men in fandom without someone#telling you that you're a massive misogynist? it's hard.#idk like... there's so many factors!!! so so many factors#and it's a wider conversation than i can have by myself in tags#but it's very much a two-way street and i think if your approach is to complain about how much content there is for something else#rather than encourage content of what you want to see#then you're already going about it the wrong way bc fandom is not a product it's an ecosystem#yk???#ANYWAY femininomenon fest in march whose hype? i'm hype!

Scrolling his tag and I noticed something
I don't hear it pronounced out loud often but when I do it's the first, so I want to see if the second is just me.
RB for larger sample size, I don't have a lot of LoZ moots/followers.
#linebeck#phantom hourglass#the legend of zelda#legend of zelda#personally i think the first sounds kinda dumb and the second sounds more like a name but that might just be how i see it#not bashing on ppl who say the first ofc; just a personal preference
