the chapter songs in Alan Wake 2,, flawless
#they deserve more love and discussion#saying this while also not knowing what to say other than they’re so fucking good#alan wake 2#i think it’s partially because poets of the fall’s tracks are iconic so of course they’re in the spotlight (as deserved)#but also the CHAPTER SONGS. them being made for a given chatacter(s) with the help of Sam lakes poetry#the changes with ‘this road’ by Poe with every Alan chapter. becoming more distorted and revealing lyrics and the spiral#the scratch song being 1) hilarious and 2) similar to Zane’s poetry in the aw1 arg#the emotion in superhero when saga feels lost at the story making it so Logan was gone#the lines of her feeling like a ghost in this story forming around her.. how she feels guilty and absent for both what the story’s doing#and being away from Logan because of her job. ashdhhhhjhh my heart#AND. follow you into the dark HAS to be alice. which kills me because at for at I thought of Alan#but no. Alice jumped in the dark place after him. it’s so !!!!!!!!!!!#the rabbit hole line. Alice spiraling deeper and deeper into a dream—into wonderland#the Lost at Sea one is also good. intrigues me. the Bowie and Lynch references are blatantly aw2 Zane#but it’s so similar to diver Zane and the ‘originals’ death. being lost in the dark place with illusions of escape#and losing any sense of identity. whether he’s real at all or the monster of this sea or just a lost soul.#the soft and calm vocals / instrumental really makes the whole thing#NEED to stop typing more tags because this is a Lot. however.#‘no one left to love’ is also a phenomenal song and one of my favorites from the album. GORGEOUS vocals and how it all flows together.#such a powerful and beautiful way to end a chapter#anyway that’s all I had to say :)#god. I’ve started to watch a few playthroughs of the game and 90% of people have skipped the chapter songs and every time im#that’s fair but my brain and soul might implode if I don’t see anyone else talking about how good these songs are

I think it was Gabe Newell who said something to the effect of "okay you made it more realistic, did that make it more or less fun?" And it's like yeah why aren't people getting asked that more.
#it sticks out in my memory because it seems like the default understanding is 'if you make it more realistic that makes it more good'#why not prioritize the fun of the thing#instead of just dumping resources into making it look or behave realistically#you can spend very little money achieving something much more impactful by not making it realistic#i feel like I'm losing my mind#what if we spend more money to achieve something less fun that will make infinite money right#someone who's good at economics balance this or whatever#i remember imagining what was basically the breath of the wild stamina bar as a child#and deciding that no that would be about as fun as having to hit a 'blink' button every couple seconds#or having to navigate your chatacter to the bathroom to relieve themselves#there's like. stuff you leave out on purpose to make it more fun#you can't include every detail you're inherently styling stuff no matter what you do#which of those details are important though#this isn't that difficult a concept to grasp is it

You know what I can live with the detco news I can but mostly I am pissed off that that recontextualised Kaitos parents into being just horrible really and also who does that.
#this woman really just left her teenage son alone for years to bif off to France or whatever and the father faked his death#but also weird writing choice honestly it's been 30 years who does rhat#I'm mostly just confused as to what thw poijt of that is does it add anything to thw story no it doesn't#i mean I suppose it does but like. what about the main plot?#my main grievance with detective conan is that the main plot isn't really moving as far as I know at least it's just kind of dragging#which is a shame because I really do love the chatacters#it's so unnecessary after 30 years really after 30 years you're gonna come out with info like that they were in five movies together already#it just feels so shoehorned in is what I mean#stuff like that should come up a little earlier than that dontcha think#but I haven't seen the movie yet I will not pass full judgement until I have seen the movie#detective conan spoilers#I guess?

I love Stolas and Blitzo’s struggling relationship so much because I relate to Blitzo (and Stolas) in ways I've latched onto. I guess I can see why some people don't like Stolas and his attitude and selfishness and his struggles give them an ick, because ultimately, fiction reflects life. Our favorite characters tend to be people we can project onto or people we wish we had in our lives.
Blitzo doesn't think he can be loved. He makes himself useful so he has some control over the terms in which he is in other people's lives. He doesn't want to be alone, and he doesn't want to be vulnerable enough to chance someone seeing him for what he is and deciding they didn't like it, they didn't like him, and leaving. So he makes himself into something they need, rather than finding someone who wants what he is.
And Stolas wants what he is. Stolas wants him. Stolas's love for Blitzo is an incredibly selfish love, and I understand why so many people don't like that. I can see a lot of people don't like that selfish love, they see real world people they have had bad experiences with in Stolas, and you know, that's what fiction is about.
But I love Stolas and I love Stolitz because I am incredibly satisfied and fulfilled seeing them together. Blitzo needs that selfish love. He needs someone to be selfish about him, to want him unrelated to all the bullshit he hides behind, to want him enough and in such a selfish way they can want him past the bullshit he pulls to push people away.
I've explored that dynamic in other fandoms some, but I cobbled it together from scratch. Not headcannons or anything lime that, just, from writing stories so much I corner myself in a dynamic that feels so right to me and so satisfying. One character doesn't know how to be wanted so they make themselves needed instead. The other character is so tired of being selfless or giving up things they want or not being allowed to have something of their own that when they get attached to the character that commodifies themselves, they decide with their whole heart that THIS is what they want. This person. This will be their first thing they want to keep and they want it selfishly.
And maybe it isn't picture-perfect healthy but it's good for them. The struggle isn't admitting they're in love with each other, the struggle is believing someone sees you for what you are not what you pretend to be to make yourself useful, and they want you so selfishly they will keep you even when you're not breaking yourself to be useful. And in getting what you want for the first time in your entire life and it being better than you ever dreamed.
So I kind of get it when people don't like Stolas. He is a bit selfish. But Blitzo needs him to be selfish, because Stolas’s "selfish" doesn't necessarily mean Blitzo giving anything up except his facade.
When the selfish character wants to keep the other character, not in a "you have to change your life to accommodate me" kind of way but in a "I love your life the way it is don't change I just want to be there with you" sort of way.
#holy shit that got away from me#the point i wanted to make was “we project onto fiction”#and i ended up on a rant about codependency#it took me years to realize i projected onto all my favorite characters#no no you like exploring these character traits because you have them not because theyre neat#i was writing characters that would fit an autism diagnosis years before I even considered it irl#so if anyone ever hates a chatacter i just assume that character reminds them of someone irl#and try not to take it personally if that character they hate is similar to me#especially if the parts they hate are the parts i relate to#context is important

god I have GOT to catch up on idw. I am so so intrigued by lanolin and I know absolutely nothing about her. apart from the fact that a lot of people apparently hate her as a chatacter which tells me nothing
#do they not like her bc she's poorly written? or because they just dont like that she exisists or bc what she as a chatacter is doing#because. there are characters that I fucking detest but LOVE as characters. looking at you hank brba#egg.txt#anyways. its been months and months since I last read idw. should start again soon

#im online too much and i dont understand the chatacters everypme is obsessing over and j feel like im faking everything and i dont know how#to stop or be myself or do anything thT I want to do#(this is bullshit look at the fic you wrote earlier tonigjt)#but like. i dont know jow to empathize or connect in a way that isnt just regurgitating other peoples words and patterns and thoights#ah. this is fhe autism again isnt it#but even like. among other autistic pepple. feel like im doing it wrong and i keep judging tjem for doing it wrong wjicj is BAD and i KNOW#its because i spent so long desperately masking bc i jusy wanted some kind (any kind) of social interaction#and now i cant even do that right#and im comparing.traumas which is another thing i knoa you shouldnt do#but every other sysgem i see is so much more impacted by it and i dont knos if im faking it or what#o dont know why im crashing like fhis i took my fucking meds. why am i crashing. i cant crasj theres too much to get done#keep ot the fuck rogether dont blink dont break dont even bend#which is NOT healthy but o dont know any other way through#in conclusion fuck me please tell me njce things we could rrally use it right now#bc god knows tomorrows gonna suuuuuuuuuuuck#gotta be up.and moving in 6 hrs

Y'know what's something I think MCD took direct inspiration from in FFIX? The fact that once the plot really gets started, the characters can never catch a break. In both works there's a decent amount of time where stakes are low and slowly ramp up, before the flamboyant main actual villain shows up and suddenly it's tragedy after tragedy after tragedy, with few moments of levity and respite in between to keep you going. A fun cutscene here, a nice character moment there, a reminder of better times. AND THEN IT'S RIGHT BACK TO THE TRAGEDY
#i have loved revisiting FFIX with mcd On the brain#because I know Jess has played this game and loved it#so while some of my chatacter comparisons are more for fun and the sake of building an AU#stuff like this feels like direct inspiration and I think that's really cool#FFIX has an amazing story which is why Im always really vague about it#because I know none of my followers have actually played it and I don't want to spoil it for them#if they want it spoiled they can do that themselves#i suspect I'm going to keeo finding similarities between these two works or moments of direct inspiration#I'm looking forward to it i love this game and this silly roleplay it partially inspired#xer's rambles

WHO is orv i am so curious
hahah orv is short for omniscient reader's viewpoint!!! it's a really good novel that i can't recommend enough!!!!! talks a lot about stories, has a lot of doomed by the narrative type stuff, a lot of i will kill for you/die for you/live for you happenings and a lot of death of the author and even death of the audience??
so like it gets very meta and very serious at times, and the overarching story is really beautiful, but it also has a loottt of silliness and fun stuff!!!! it's very fertile ground for fandom bs imho like it just has a built in royalty au???? the main cast just gets isekaid into a royalty au for no reason??? okay sure
it also has a webtoon adaptation which i think is really good and faithful
idrk how to advertise it but i swear it's so good and so worth it!!!!!!
#also it doesn't really have any romance (id say the genre is like action/fantasy even apocalypse survival for the 1st arc)#but the shipping goes hard because of how devoted the chatacters are to each other#it's at this point i realize i didn't mention the premise uhhh guy reads book and then it comes to life basically?????#ndjsndjs it really doesn't sound great but the details make it juicy i promise#orv

For some reason whenever I brainstorm for my eventual solasmance Lavellan I always imagine her leaving on bad terms with him and swearing to stop him no matter what it takes. However. Just had the idea of Lavellan solas and Varric being in a weird love triangle. during inquisiton only Solas and Lavellan would happen, then They break up and Lavellan is with Varric within a year. Queen of moving on or whatever. Cole gets dropped right in the middle of whatever the fuck they've got going on. Rest of the inquisiton is immensely intrigued by them
#dragon age#she would break up with solas at the end of trespasser and end up with varric afterwards i think#god could you imagine if varric does die in dav.#she would be PISSED#ive been thinking about her for a while and she may end up being one of those chatacters i design but never play#because like. i am not a fan of replaying dai im sorry 😭#im still in the middle of my selene run. instead of working on that im replaying dao#anyways the only things ive got on her is that shed a blonde warrior who likes hitting things#at the peak of their romance she would carry solas around skyhold i think#idk maybe ill get around to her eventually#i know which worldstate she goes in at least#it would be my Mahariel worldstate with veloura and yvette hawke#i need to finish yvette's run too sighhh#crow rambles#also. the likelihood of this happening if i ACTUALLY play solasmance is so low#because i always get oddly attached to ships while im playing them#man what is it with me and toxic m/f ships. what#my ideas for sebhawke include 'hawke who quote on quote betrays seb by sparing anders'#is that even an option? id assume so#or maybe its just the guys im not too fond of. idk#in my defense i feel like narratively solavellan ending shittily would be very interesting#woman who made you realize people were. well people breaks up with you and moves onto the hot dwarven writer#id also tear down a veil or something i think#idk I'm just rambling at this point

the struggle of just coincidentally disliking a piece of media that a lot of conservatives also dislike, but for completely different reasons, so sometimes you'll see youtube recommended videos like "here's why X was so bad" and you're initially like "oh yaayy, yeah I had a lot of criticisms of that too, I'm curious to finally see someone really break down why the plot didn't work! I love media analysis" and then the video is just "it's bad because there's WOMAN in it!!!" ..........ok....
#especially with fantasy type media because there's so many weird dudes into that#and I'm just like .. innocently wanting to see if anyone else shares my opinion that the plot was silly or the character was#badly written or boring or etc. and instead it's always just like 'and they made a chatacter BLACK!!! >:(((#WHEN IN THE MIDDLE AGES which is when ALL fantasy is set. black people did NOT exist yet! so unrealistic!!! dragons and magic on the other#hand are very realistic.. ANYWAY.. women BOOBIE should SHOW'#so before clicking on something it's like... I also really did not enjoy this thing and want to see soomeone talk about it#so manybe it can help me better analyze and verbalize precisely what my problems with it were and why I came away from the movie/show#feeling annoyed or etc.. HOWEVER.. dare i?? dare I wade into the waters and risk being bamboozled when the first half of the video#lures you in with some vague promise of actual analysis and then quickly is just devolves into brainworms 'grr its bad bc sjw WOKE media' o#whatever... please.. please.. I just wanted to hear about the plot structure... w hy ..

Schmigadoon enthusiasts, please reblog this post with whether you preferred s1 or s2 and why 🙏 I've seen really mixed reactions and would love to know why the opinions seem to differ so greatly
#Its so cool how I can see a bunch of people saying they wayyy preferred season 2#and then turn around and see a bunch of different people say they preferred s1 and i just wanna know why#i personally enioyed season 1 but season 2 had me ballistically happy#I was in a constant state of excited buzz and joy#I think its mostly because I actually knew the musicals this time around#and how this specific era of musicals is one of my absolute favoirtes#but its also because Josh and Mel are a team this time instead of arguing with each other yknow#I just much prefer that dynamic#AND ALSO s2 explored the other chatacters much more and gave them the time to shine which is another thing i absolutely love#Josh and Mel were kind of the center of all the action in s1 but I enjoyed seeing different characters and their journeys#this also allowed aaron tveit and dove cameron and jane krakowski to be absolute standouts this season#and dont even get me started on the spectacular job Tituss Burgess did as the narrarator#Also the songs are so catchy but thats probably a side effect of me just liking this era of musicals#anyways s2 just appealed to me a lot because of how much it fit into my tastes#schmigadoon#schmicago#schmigadoon!

I think the reason redesigns and character personality changes in fandoms/AUs doesn't bother me, and the reason partaking in such activities is so fun to me, is because I lived through and highly enjoyed the Undertale AUs and Hetalia AUs in middle school
#People get outraged by such things and I'm like “Is it really that big of a deal?”#Because like. There's so much more and it's obviously fun for people#Who cares if it goes into OC territory???? Like#I see people get outraged by someone darkening a Genshin character's skin and I'm just like. Good for them! We love redesigns around here :#undertale#hetalia#alternate universe#Especially ones that make the chatacter more accurate to a specific culture? It's always fun!#I like seeing people make a character with no specified ethnicity into their own#Like this character is now Mexican? Hell yeah#My favorite version of this is everyone HCing that Tape Guy from MHA as half Mexican and half Japanese#It's so real to me and everyone I've seen in the Fandom was like “Yeah! :D”#Idk though. I guess I also just try to be a mellow person. To the best of my ability#So that could also be a factor of my “Yeah! It's cool!” State of mind

drew my dnd character who i made up on the spot the other day because i forgot to prepare anything (his character sheet was online)
turns out the sheet SAID he was a girl but i only read the name nathan and went 'okay thats a dude' so hes trans because i didnt read my own character sheet
#i dont have any strong idea of him other than that he's a little bit of a coward#i was like 'okay what will contrast with the other party members' and we had a lot of confident guys#so i went as far from that as i could#whats wrong with him? no clue!!#theres something though#anyways i got the first word in at our first sedsion#so the first thing said in chatacter in this campaign was 'well fellas... fuck!'#because i forgot what i was gonna say#shits going great honestly#the first 2 doodles are what i did while we were playing#im not good at character design hsbshsbshs#oc#i guess#probably gonna mess with his stats later to reflect my idea of him more#bc we didnt do anything with our sheets last time#so its not too late to change things i think#nathan (oc)
