isit because im ugly

time for another thing i talked abt on twitter to put onto the tumblr, oh boy!

i've seen some people speculate that the big we see in frontiers isn't the real one & is just conjured from sonic's brain. but i feel like there are things that some people are ignoring when they say this

big is fully cognizant of the existence of the other islands, meaning he has knowledge and awareness that extends beyond this cyberspace area. also, why would sonic's brain just. conjure up this completely random fishing location he's never visited before with big in it? this leads me to...

note specifically that sage specifically makes mention of their "hopes" or desire, being in the list of things that cyberspace can upload.

though not absolutely concrete, this could suggest that this fishing area is the manifestation of big's desire for a good fishing spot. thus, this area can only be manifested through big, not sonic. (also yes before anyone says it, i know there are weird exceptions like sonic visiting sky rail, a stage that only shadow goes through in SA2's story. it still wouldn't make sonic manifesting a fishing area make sense because... why. but i digress)

something else that i would like to add are the portal colors and what they could possibly mean

think about it, why is big's portal purple specifically? cuz apart from that it generally looks like any other cyberspace portal. what does this mean? let's look to the portals for actual cyberspace stages

on the left is a red portal, this typically indicates that the player has not cleared all of the objectives in a given cyberspace stage. on the right is a blue portal, which indicates that the player has completed all four objectives.

now this could mean one of two things. either that big is currently occupying the purple portal, and thus gives it a purple appearance...

or that big literally S ranked fishing, which is probably a reach but i think that's a funnier explanation for this all of this could possibly be a reach, and it might be, i could also be wrong since i don't remember absolutely every little detail that frontiers has to offer so if someone has a better explanation of the nature of cyberspace portals, correct me. also, again, before anyone asks, i do not think that big is stuck in cyberspace, nor do i think he could get stuck in cyberspace for that matter since why would sonic be able to leave but he can't especially given everything i've just talked about? wouldn't make much sense to me. he's never seen in a cybercage either unlike the rest of sonic's friends so big likely never even got trapped to begin with don't know why i thought this was worth discussing but here i am!

That sketch you sent its about

Not having many good memories so really inflating the few you have (only 1 dangerous night) and its about only having memories of remembering things to the point where its like a feedback loop of memory where everything gets distorted and things that werent so big get made into focal points (sloppy steaks)

Also its about desperately hating how things are and deciding to make a change in yourself when you didnt even have a pattern of horribleness in the first place. And its about wanting to believe that things have changed when they really havent (pushback hair being basically slickback, he still thinks sloppy steaks are great)

He really wants to believe that he used to suck (so he tells everyone repeatedly as if looking for confirmation of it) because if he didnt then hes just making himself miserable by not being himself for no reason

Interesting !

i definitely agree! first few times i saw it i read allll the comments on the video and there were a lot of comments that mentioned how he considers himself a piece of shit but like. he didn't do anything that bad, really? the worst thing he did was be pretty annoying at a restraunt semi-regularly (enough for them to have are reputation), which is bad but it's like, not that bad. none of the things he mentioned make him a piece of shit really. glass house, white ferrari, live for new years eve? None of those things make you a piece of shit! also the car wasn't even a white ferrari, more of him distorting his memories.

another thing i really agree with is like, the thing with the pushback hair, and how he still says sloppy steaks are really really good. i feel like that's something that really resonates with me, when he says like "oh i miss those nights i WAS a piece of shit though!" (and then that's followed with the "used to be" "I SAID WAS!". he's trying hard hard hard to believe that he's changed).

I think Shane/Tim's primary problem is that he's just trying really hard to hold up this story in his mind of growth from a piece of shit with slicked back hair eating sloppy steaks to a good person with pushed back hair eating normal steaks. But really he never wanted to stop slicking back his hair. he never wanted to stop eating sloppy steaks. like. the only difference between slicked and pushed back hair, really, is that one is slicked back with some kind of product or maybe just water, and one is just pushed back with force and maybe slight wetness. but they look the same! pushed back hair, all it really is, is slicked back hair that takes more effort to achieve! sloppy steaks taste good to him. he likes them. and he could always just make them at home with takeout steaks or even steaks he makes himself! there's no moral boundary stopping him from eating sloppy steaks. but he doesn't! (while idt it was ever mentioned that he doesn't eat sloppy steaks anymore in the actual sketch, it was implied, and the script does include the line "I do miss sloppy steaks."). He's created this narrative of change and growth, and based his whole identity around it, and so when he's confronted with this idea that his piece of shit history can still be sensed in a gut feeling, everything goes out of control. i think there's a chance that in his heart, he thinks people can't change. and that's what's making him so scared. i think this mainly because of the scene with Meredith's dad. look at how he discovers that he used to be a piece of shit. all he has to do is push back his hair, and once he sees how well it would slick back, that's immediately enough evidence for him to conclude that meredith's ol grampaw used to be a huge piece of shit. like yeah he was right but meredith's father is clearly not a piece of shit. so sure, maybe Shane believes that 'people can change'. but he also believes that being a piece of shit leaves a stain. and no matter how long he works really really hard to change. no matter what he gives up: glass house, white ferrari, slicked back hair, his Dangerous Nights Crew, sloppy steaks! people will be able to tell he used to be a piece of shit for the rest of his life – even when he's as old as Meredith's ol grampaw.

this is the sketch btw, for anyone unaware:

If I saw bigfoot, I would simply take a high resolution and focused photo of him. Problem solved.

Out tonight … they’re coming to a screen near you 👽🛸 I loved this job, and it’s absolutely brilliant! Being a part of this insanely talented, funny team of humans, was special. It has this bizarre, wacky, gentle way of holding a mirror to the absurdity of humankind’s doings on our planet. It’s hugely urgent, and a wild ride. Please mark your calendars 📆 28 Nov 2022 at 9pm @dave_tvchannel @bigtalk Directed by @fergalcost , Written and created by Ben Willbond and Laurence Rickard.

ITS SO NOTICEABLE OH MY GODDDD here’s some examples of stuff i’ve already written 😭

absolutely love how u can tell which of my fic outlines were written by big me and small me lololol

[tonysaintborgi]

bigtalker of me as a white italian to be all "oh yeah i listen to black music" and expect people to take me for my word so i should list out some black artists i enjoy that i think my dash would be unfamiliar with. I'll do that after i cook dinner

[skinmite]

they keep pushing the crew is a family thing. and yeah The Crew Are. but at this point not the co-captains LMAO. most of the crew actively dislike those two currently can we be honest here for once PLEASE. maybe because izzy said he wants them to consider the captains as family that might help but. man.

ed and stede are absolutely Not family with the crew. they just arent. theyre family together and yep izzy to connect to the rest but theyre shitty co-bosses to the crew. theyre not even good captains and for sure not family. i WISH they couldve gotten there. listen i WANTED them to get there and to actually put effort into your relationship with your crew. but it just didnt happen. its not earned its not believable sorry if thats controversial to anyone but you gotta admit

ed tried to kill them all and only fang forgave. the rest of them hate/are terrified of him or love someone who hates/is terrified of him. and then after all that stede chose ed over his crew. not caring about their trauma after all his bigtalk about caring for the crews feelings. and i keep thinking back to lucius pointing out that stede just didnt care about him being alive and didn’t acknowledge his return. all this would be different if it werent a pirate captain/pirate crew dynamic.

pirate captain/pirate crew dynamic is basically “heres the guy who decides if we live or die” and these two are Absolutely Not the ones to have that role. ed knows about sailing but has no people skills he couldnt even say sorry. stede has neither skill even though he thinks he does. the only good captain has been the pirate queen herself. plus shes believable as family. and now frenchie yayyyyy my favorite beloved frenchie youll always be famous

Im sortof like the fbi .

Are there any instances where you feel Big is better written on the english side as opposed to japanese? If so, what's your best example of this.

i guess the only instance that comes to mind is a singular moment in SA1's EN localization when big says "i don't know who would bother to save us both" i think that helped to emphasize the gravity of his situation better otherwise, it's either slightly worse or relatively on par w/ his japanese counterpart when written well also sorry for the late answer! forgot to use my tumblr for a bit lmfao

Hi! In real life I'm named luther and spend most of my time working, but here you can call me bear. I like stuffed animals, dogs, imaginary places, and grilled cheese. I don't hold conversations very well but it's nice to meet you :-)

this is a SFW nostalgia(?) blog where i like to keep all the nice pictures and texts that make me feel better. hope you have fun!

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞𓆝 𓆟 𓆞

this is, technically, an age regression blog. I'm not super sure if that's what is happening to me but it's the closest I've come to putting a name to it! I'll sometimes talk about that here. everything is in handy categories for my own enjoyment, so here's a rundown of what they are:

smalltalk: "in character," for genuine lack of better term. things like fictional caregiver discussion or imaginary textposts will go here. meant to be fun to read while I'm not feeling myself.

bigtalk: "out of character;" usually me talking about what I'm up to or what I'd like to get up to or whatever else doesn't apply to the above.

moods: moodboards and such.

places: indoor and outdoor locations.

home: things that really hit me in the guts! extra-personal nostalgia.

in general: things that don't really apply to my own personal theme, but apply here regardless. more aesthetic than emotion based.

I just love those biGtalk™ while drunk af
