#best lead generation

I was thinking about the 5 year anniversary video and
it is interesting to me how Patton kind of decided for Logan what his role in the "family" would be. all the other sides chose it themselves, but he didn't get to.
even when he actively objects it's played for laughs and never addressed. this happened too when Patton revealed his name for him, and I just think it's interesting to note that after all these years, Logan still never gets to decide anything when it comes to Thomas, or even himself, to an extent. it's just kind of decided for him and he is expected to just go along with it, similar to how it was when Thomas dyed his hair.
ik it's mainly a "haha wine mom" moment, but that doesn't take away from how angsty it gets when you think about it.
#btw this is not meant as a judgement of Thomas as a creator#I just think it is an interesting character dynamic that leads to lots of angst#and seeing it shown so well and clearly is a treat#this also isn't Patton hate#I don't think he has any bad intentions#I think he is just a bit oblivious to how much his actions affect Logan#this is more of a general light sides not being the best to him thing#sanders sides#logan sanders#ts logan#logan angst#tw angst#tw alcohol#tw alchoholism mention#sasi#thomas sanders

i cant think of a clever caption . cathal obliterating graham with little effort upon ye
#toontown#toontown corporate clash#ttcc#graham payser#graham ness payser#pacesetter#cathal bravecog#cathal ray toby bravecog#multislacker#and why they ourple#strawglicks art gallery#big fan of how they view the world differently and how both are harmful in their own ways#cathals not wrong here but also BECAUSE of how he views the world he doesnt try at ALL#he sees no point or meaning to ANYTHING because he can see thru the bullshit#leading to general apathy and carelessness#meanwhile graham believes if hes always pushing himself to the greatest he can be it'll 'prove' hes the best#and he'll get some kind of reward for it . like validation or higher status at his job or fans#IDK insane rambling .

In which Radahn takes on the Tarnished who bested him as a champion, and tries to pass on his gravity sorceries.
#elden ring#general radahn#starscourge radahn#radahn#crane does art#I imagine he'd respect whoever had been strong enough to best him in combat Tarnished or not#and then annoyed at being cooped up in Redmane as Jerren tried to treat the rot he takes interest in Eryc (my tarnished)#what I would do for a hypothetical Redmanes faction you could ally with feat. Radahn / his soldiers / Jerren#and their quest could lead to an ending where you restore the golden order (haven't finished the game yet so idk if that already exists)

the way the broom closet and the infinite hole being nearly parallels to the other in that they are both areas of the game that stanley has immense attachment to but the narrator doesn’t understand why and makes an entirely huge fuss about his confusion for the affection towards these areas. I think what makes the infinite hole just as funny is the fact that despite succeeding in making a new game feature that stanley seems to really enjoy, he’s so much more focused on the fact that stanley is enjoying it the “wrong” way. aspects of the game that go hand in hand with the bucket.
#the stanley parable#the stanley parable ultra deluxe#YEAH ILL MAINTAG IT LOL#anyway. I find it interesting that the narrator has a specific way set in his head that stanley/the player-#-is meant to interact with the game. and when they don’t interact in the way that he expects them to#-he gets pretty heated or overal frustrated#which his reactions are the best best but it’s just interesting to think about#how the bucket the broom closet AND the infinite hole have this same issue#but also the general overall stance of the game and how we going about leading stanley around#it’s interesting!! it’s fun to examine!!#play my game right and you’ll be rewarded. play my game wrong and I’ll explode you to pieces#I just think it’s fun that every aspect of the game comes back to this singular conclusion!#no matter what. it’s always about choice. good good shit

aro culture is seeing a meme, with only the aro flag, being about not wanting to kiss and just never understanding at all when people equate not wanting to kiss as a strictly/universal aromantic thing, cause you personally enjoy kissing a lot
.
#Anonymous#aro culture is#aro#aromantic#actually aro#actually aromantic#ask#mod phoenix#i know i'm personally prone to talking about it because#anytime i try to talk about not liking kissing around alloros#it leads to uh. honestly at best shocked confusion and interrogation#and on. a very scary amount of times straight up being sexually harassed or generally pressured to try kissing someone present#whilethe aro community is... a lot lot lot more likely to go 'oh same' or 'yeah the connotations are ick' or generally just... accept it

"Years of fighting. Bots and Cons falling left and right. Dying on our behalf. No more. We settle this now, Megatron."
"Just the two of us then? To the death? Ahh, brings me back to the pits all those centuries ago. Very well then, today will be the day the great Optimus Prime finally falls by my hand."
"Only one of us is walking away from this rock functional, old friend. It will not be you."
~ Audio from Optimus Prime's remains at the sight of his final confrontation with Megatron that ended the Great War. circa 2003.
Audio encoded by Soundwave, Memory bank recovered by Ratchet
#transformers#maccadam#transformers fan design#optimus prime#megatron#tf reconstruction#had to design them bc i have such a clear idea for an illustration i wanna do for my au and needed ref for when i get around to it#i think their history is Interesting and Cool in this universe#like its standard fair kinda except at one point they were both freedom fighters on the same side against cybertron's oppressive government#(after optimus initially served as a propagandized captain america figure against the growing uprising)#but disagreement's in how to handle everything once cybertron was liberated#(and decepticon generals like starscream and shockwave whispering into megatron's audio processors over the years)#lead to escalations and eventually all-out civil war which spread across the sector and the galaxy#i'm thinking the initial disagreement was like. optimus wanted freedom and self determination free from any corrupt governing body#with the belief that reestablishing the council would only lead to further corruption and therefore another uprising#while megatron at first wanted a better government that actually looked after the people it was supposed to provide for#but that got distorted from ''we need what's best for cybertron'' to ''I'M what's best for cybertron'' over time#idk if that's all that revolutionary or unique but it was what felt right to me

regardless of how you feel about modern paper mario leaning hard into the 'THE WORLD IS PAPER' thing for their gimmicks you do gotta admit its kind of impressive how much wild cartoon body horror the origami king devs managed to stuff into an e rated game simply because all of the characters are made of paper
#skye's ramblings#like genuinely some of that stuff was so creatively horrifying i remember several moments that like genuinely shocked me#remember the fuckin toads in the yellow streamer with gaping holes where their faces had been? because i do#or the hall of cut-up minions in bowsers castle that leads to a paper mache monster made of faces that are still conscious and talking#or everything about scissors. and whatever the hell was up with the cutout soldiers. really just the whole green streamer in general tbh#n ofcourse i cant forget the fortune tellers in origami castle that rip enemies into confetti and eat literally half your hp w one misstep#was stunned at the damage when i fell off the path bro origami castle fucking hates you. also it has one of the best tracks in the series#tbh i think pmtok is a perfect example of how to do the 'horror with a bright and colorful exterior' thing correctly. ilove you origamiking

and another thing about qijiu is like -
anytime shen (jiu) qingqiu gets into an "altercation" its like:
yqy, thinking: what happened? i need to know from him what happened so i can protect him from the consequences, no matter what it was and no matter how much he might be blamed. and what would have happened if i wasn't there to do so? before, he paid the price for things that were my fault, and last time i left him- (guilt spiral, etc.)
yqy aloud: what did you do?
shen jiu, hearing this, thinking: he thinks i'd do that? how low is his opinion of me really? does he truly think there are no depths to which i wouldn't sink? and i thought it couldn't be lower. so quick to blame me and ignore anyone else's part in this. so quick to distance himself from his sordid past.
shen jiu, aloud: i'm sure it makes no difference to you.
choose your fighter: yqy's unconditional devotion and inability to communicate vs. shen jiu's self-loathing making him interpret it as disinterest and blame (and also his inability to communicate)
#svsss#shen jiu#yue qingyuan#qijiu#and the worst (best) part of this all is that if they could actually have a conversation where they communicate this#shen jiu would probably be really into the unconditional devotion thing#for someone who feels so isolated and unloved#to be told no matter how deep a hole he finds himself in or how he got there yqy will still care is like. a fundamental change in worldview#(though i think sj's self-loathing might first lead him to think that there SHOULD be conditions to caring about him)#(which ofc leads to more 79 conflict)#and weve also seen that generally if sj orders him to not do something yqy follows that directive#so this could work out so well#BUT because 79 is 79 this is basically impossible#if they actually had a conversation about this it would be more like#yqy: i want to know from qingqiu what happened.#sj: so you think i'm the kind of person that would do all of this? is your opinion of me that low?#yqy: no! what shidi has done doesn't matter#sj: it doesn't matter? i see.#sj: sect leader must act as censure for the entire sect. perhaps he might speak to the other involved party next time.#yqy: ...this one has failed you.#and then sj leaves the conversation thinking yqy's a liar and a hypocrite#and yqy leaves subsumed in even more guilt#and then when yqy changes his behavior and doesnt ask/blame sj immediately after an incident#sj is like: oh. he doesn't care? he's given up? he's really distancing himself now.#[rattles the bars of my cage] 79 MAKE ME INSANE#miscommunication as the basis for conflict can be annoying but 79 does it perfectly#as the miscommunication is based on differing inherent ways of understanding/interacting with others#and can absolutely not be solved in a single conversation#anyways sorry for the tags being longer than the actual post

i hate when you've got so many good thoughts about characters in your head but in order for ppl to get it you need to translate them into an actual language rather than just being able to dump the contents of your brain into the post. and then suddenly you've got no thoughts
#look anika's talking!#wilbur could have been a good dad he COULD HAVE i know he couldve but he didnt have any support#no one older than him no one more experienced he's in his early 20s with an entire child and his best friends are teenagers#so he's ALWAYS the adult always the one in charge always the one being looked up to. which becomes the one drafting declarations#leading troops appointing his little brother as general and bringing his child into battle because what else could he do#RAHHHHHH.#teen dad wilbur mental illness

a friend who'd wait :)
#im posting this very late because i was sort of weary of how it came out and ended up messing w it until it was like 4am oops.#and i have plans tmrw so... oh well! i did my best and ill put it out while i can!#and i tried to make the scene match barnard's colors lol#finn's ocs#finn's art#i know i said id do more sillay stuff with the simpler screentone only style but i had a couple more of these in me#and this is the first piece im making thats like an actual part of the story too rather than just setting stuff for fun#i wanna write something to go with it too but for now ill just sort of briefly explain the context in the tags here:#barnard has a pretty bad case of OCD and his compulsions have made it difficult to make friends in the past#he was never outright bullied or anything but people just didnt really have the patience to deal with it#he has compulsions that include stuff like walking through doors until it feels right and needing things to be perfectly aligned#which in group settings has lead to people having to wait for him to finish his rituals and join them#they might find it tolerable at first but eventually they grow impatient and hes just... not invited to stuff anymore#but juno is a newer member of the guild who ends up frequenting the same library. hes also kinda a little weird#and they dont become fast friends or anything but just sort of naturally spend time in the same place#though they never plan meetups they eventually fall into a routine. around the same time theyd just both be at the library#and read next to each other. and maybe talk a bit. and eventually they end up walking back to the guildhall together#since theyre going to the same place after all. and juno always waits for barnard outside the door#eventually barnard asks if this bothers him. juno kinda just tells him 'of course it does' without any malice or anything. just a statement#barnard is surprised and apologizes and juno says not to. but the next day juno doesnt show up at the usual time.#barnard assumes hes committed somekinda more by bringing it up. he ends up staying there late reading to get his mind off it & not ruminate#but when he leaves juno is in fact still waiting for him down the hall (see pic) having collected a bunch of books literally abt ocd#he fell asleep bc barnard stayed later than expected. and hes an eepy guy generally. and also one very bad at expressing himself#but now barnard gets that juno's 'of course it [bothers me]' had the implication of 'but its worth it' which no friend has previously done.#and from the interaction juno was also able to understand that this isn't something barnard just does for the hell of it so. he studies.#and checks a bunch of stuff out because he thinks it could help his friend too (theres ocd workbooks and such- i remember working w them)#and thats the point where they became more ''friends'' than ''pleasant library acquaintances''#from there on they also do get into juno's problems. whole other bag of worms. but this specific scene is more about bernard from his pov#sorry about when i said briefly explain. i lied </3#but compared to the whole sequence im picturing its brief so shhh

ah yes I've been reminded about how much I dislike wash's arc with locus on chorus because it makes no fucking sense!
like that scene in s12 where wash has that dream about shooting donut? while perhaps understandable when looked at in a vacuum, it makes absolutely no sense in the context of wash's arc from s6-s10.
wash repaid his debt to donut by protecting him from one of the tex bots in the 100 tex battle (which is what that seemingly random line in that fight where wash says "okay, we're done here" is referencing), and wash mentally justifying shooting donut in the dream with a "I was just following orders" also makes no sense because that's not what happened!
pretty much everything wash did from mid s7 through s8 were all things that he chose to do. wash chose to go to the chairman and make a deal after he found out that caboose still had epsilon, wash chose to shoot donut and lopez (because he didn't know them and had no attachment to them), wash chose to take doc prisoner, etc etc.
yet despite all of those awful choices he made, the reds and blues still refused to let him die. they chose to save wash when they had every reason to not save him, and they did it because that's what friends do—they protect their own.
this is why wash pulling his gun on lina in s10, and the words that followed him doing so were so important. wash knew what she was feeling, he understood her on an intimate level because lina was mentally in the same place that he himself had been in not too long ago—but he was not going to stand by and watch her hurt his friends, and he was not going to let her force the reds and blues into a battle that wasn't theirs (like he himself had done in s6 on his quest to defeat the meta).
tldr; wash's arc on chorus with locus doesn't make sense because the whole point of his arc (and kind of lina's arc too) prior to chorus was unironically about rediscovering the power of friendship thanks to a group of dumb guys in colorful armor.
#grrr i've been reminded about how much I hate post bernie wash in generally bc he didn't get to be cool anymore#we hate the woobify-ing of wash on this blog#here's hoping that restoration delivers on the cool wash content bc burnie's wash was always my fav wash#mine#rvb#like idk why burnie was the only one who was able to perfectly balance wash being an extrovert who deeply cared for the people around him#while also being a badass super soldier space marine who was skilled and competent#my hc is that wash was the most outwardly nice freelancer bc he recognizes the importance of team dynamics#which considering the washed hands interview in the rvb book makes a lot of sense. wash is stated to be a corporal in it but that's way too#low of a rank to lead a platoon so he was most likely demoted to that after he attacked his co#anyway im still the best wash guy and everyone else can go home /j

Aro culture is having not a single fucking clue what to say when your coworkers start talking about relationships. Like how am I supposed to contribute to this conversation. I can’t tell you about my nonexistent partner. I can’t whine about how I haven’t found anybody I don’t want. I can only say “oh that’s cool” and “damn sorry about that” so many times. And now I look awkward and standoffish.
.
#Anonymous#aro culture is#aro#aromantic#actually aro#actually aromantic#ask#mod kee#honestly i think the best way to add to that#is like... ask about plans and things they like to do together#talk about details#like... say ur coworkers are talking about a date night#you can ask where they went for food and respond with stuff about like. oh have you been to such-and-such place - they've got the best#[similar food style]#or like. just... find a point of connection to the topics that aren't just the relationships#though i'd generally advise leading with a question that includes the relationship so it feels less like an intentional topic change#and for the 'damn i'm sorry about that' types of convos#consider if you've ever had a similar situation in some way.#like... 'wow ngl if i were doing a project with him i'd be losing my damn mind. is he always like this?'#also sometimes it helps to create a topic#like... bring in homemade food and talk about how you found the recipe and thought they'd like it#or like... if u have some sort of hobby you can talk about how you've been working on a project or w/e with that recently#you can also redirect to that stuff! like ur coworker is talking about having a date night -> oh that's neat! personally i'm really excited#to work on my embroidery project - have i shown you any pictures?#or say they're talking about a fight in their relationship - 'that's so stressful! you should do something for yourself - do you read?#i've been reading xyz book - maybe you'd like it?'#overall like. acknowledge their topic and validate their emotions -> handshake it to a similar but more relatable topic

Staring at the next chapter of TCoE and realizing with horror that I need to rewrite it.
#mostly bc of prose and just a general lack of good writing#but also bc i don’t know how to lead from point a to point b in a natural way#these middle chapters are KILLING ME#i know where i need to get to but I keep second-guessing the best way of getting there#this is why i don’t write plot-driven narratives
