everyone complaining about amir’s voicelines being too goofy to take him seriously are weak and foolish and will not survive the winter. i hope he continues doing stupid shit i can’t wait to put the zephyr harrier noble animation set on him so all his idles are him stopping to do a stupid little dance. i’m going to spam his ping lines until my clanmates want to murder me in real life. we are not the same

stultifera navis rerun AKA thinking about Iberia hours again because a lot of the Iberians have such fascinating relationships with the concept of home but specifically Thorns and Lumen are eating at my brain. like where do you call home when the place that is your home Just Fucking Hates You? Elysium's rewinding breeze specifically makes a point to hammers home how differently Iberia treats its Liberi and its Aegir

(which is especially interesting since this comes right after a conversation where Purestream commented on how despite Leizi being a high ranking government official, there are still some experiences that are universal for all Yanese people - because the experience of what Iberia itself is like isnt universal for all Iberians)

But all that being said, Thorns also straight up states that Aegir is not his home, and yeah, how could it be? How could a place you've never been to, never truly known, ever be your home? How could it ever feel like a home?

so where do you go when the place that you are from hates your people and the place your people are from is completely unfamiliar and alien to you? Thorns' answer at the end of the conversation with Aya is: my home is where i chose it to be. my home is where there are people I care about and people who care about me

in the complete opposite direction, Lumen's oprec asks: why do you still stay in a place that wants you gone? because the people of Gran Faro like Jordi well enough but when push comes to shove, they will want the only Aegir in town gone

and yet, when Rald the messenger offers him a chance to leave Jordi turns him down and when he's forced to escape Gran Faro after the people there literally try to send him to his death (or worse) at the hands of the Inquisitors he keeps trying to go back because like everyone in stultifera navis, Jordi is clinging to his own dreams of a golden age

but the shape of that dream is unique to every character and for Jordi, his dreams are deeply, inseparably bound to the Eye of Iberia, the legacy his parents left behind

and it's this dream of becoming someone great, of bringing about that golden age that his parents devoted their lives to help create that ties Jordi to this nothing town because despite everything, despite the mistrust of the townsfolk and the hostility of the Inquisition and the danger from the ocean, he simply cannot leave it behind

(or, because i personally dislike the official translation,)

"I just see this place as my home"

so yeah. not sure what overall point i was trying to make here i'm just. deeply in love with these stories about chosing what is and isn't your home, of saying you will not call a place your home because it has given you no reason to or saying you consider a place your home even though it has given you every reason not to. deeply unwell about them <3

What they don't tell you about testosterone-induced body hair growth is that you'll see a sea of new baby hairs all over your body but there will be one hair that's like... fucking twice as long at least and sticks out so bad compared to everywhere else 😭

once again, i think it is so very fucking strange to include a route/path in an INTERACTIVE book and the maximum exploration of it is '????? welp i don't know! ???' in a scooby doo voice.

there is no reason why a resistant detective not be allowed options as to WHY they're resistant to start a relationship with N or F (and I say this as a huge F-fan who agrees when the narrative is like 'why am I doing this?' yes why are you resisting the hot adorable one??). If this journey is given, then I - as the player - should be allowed to explore it as fully as the game/writer's skills allow.

And I know this isn't as far the game/writer's skills allow, because we are granted variations on how to treat a past with Bobby and a future with Douglas, we can decide on our relationship with the Captain and the Mayor - side characters to varying degrees - but we CAN'T choose why the detective might be hesitant to start something as important as a ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP with MAIN CHARACTERS???

make it make sense to me.

please. i beg.

The way that apparently some twerps have been giving Princess and Suffren shit for rUiNiNg ThE eCoNoMy by farming NiM Dread Fortress until Severed Hand has multiple teams capable of completing the raid, and then taking guild members, friends, family members, anyone who asked nicely really… to get their Wings—without making them pay for it! They even taught some people the raid and took them back through for their Gate Crasher, again—without making them pay for it! Gasp! Shock! How could they possibly do this! How will the swtor nim raiding community possibly survive someone… being fucking nice???

Isn’t the goddamn point of a raiding “community” that you teach the raids to other people? Idk about you but I learn better when I have a chance to actually do and see what the end goal is, rather than just be told that everything is my fault and be called whatever new exciting slur the chat’s collective hivemind has decided is most hurtful this week.

Edit to add: this is more than likely the same people who in endgame chat make endless jokes about the sale runs and about what a joke the sales runs are. I’m sorry that you are now not enjoying having it both ways my good motherfuckers. Other people are going to play the game how they want, and if a guild that you’re not in teaching other people how to beat a difficult but fun fight so that they can get a coveted mount on any toon they want as long as they ask nicely “ruins the game” for you? That is a you problem.

do you guys remember when Attack On Titan had a fucking Looney Tunes Babies style spin off where all the characters were in junior high and the titans were just bullies and eren was mad at them because they ate his hamburg steak and it was legitimately better than the original

thank you for enabling my impulses, here's a comic [x]

You know thinking of Dave (because I'm chopping onions and as a sigma I can't be seen crying for emotional reasons) and I did realize Jack really never calls him out of Henry does he? Like the one time he does is bc it was about Dee (in the first area) and in pure evil, both in 2 and 3, Jack won't tell him all Henry did to him and his family.

I need to keep chopping vegetables but don't y'all find it curious? Like I'd seen someone mention how there's no way to bring up the tapes when talking to either Dave or DTrap which admittedly I ruled off as DD just not wanting to bother writing more for an already long game but with all these other things in mind it's just strange.

Oh fuck me fuckme fuck me

[izzyspussy]

i think a lot of people have never been in a truly desperate situation but think they have, and this causes them to pass really harsh judgment on people who made bad choices when either irrational or having no good choices to pick instead, and i really wish people could get some fucking self-perception and work on their compassion skills and not fucking do that as much anymore

me coming back from fucking around in the swamp thinking missing a single sunbelt showdown was gonna be fine and then being told that is NOT the case
