Billboard changing the rules so artists can't sell digital singles on their websites to count towards the charts anymore is really annoying b/c what do you mean it force opened iTunes and then I also had to change my password because I couldn't remember it just to buy one stupid song I ended up streaming on Spotify anyway

something about mei and mk being ‘the hero and the warrior’ except they’re more based

theres been a few instances of mei being upset about not being able to spend as much time with MK (the one i remember more vividly was her in s5 wanting to go on a ‘classic MK and Mei adventure!’ but im p sure there was an instance in s4 too that i cant recall) which lead to some thoughts

ive seen a lot of stuff about them and how mei might end up like macaque, bitter and abandoned by MK, like wukong did. but i just feel like it isnt true. so this is my future theory:

there’d be a build up of more instances like this. mei wants to do stuff with MK, but he prioritizes his hero training/duties. each time, she’s shown subtly being more and more upset until one day she snaps. she confronts him and is visibly upset, yelling at him.

but then, instead of snapping back (like Wukong did) he apologizes. maybe it can parallel the first fight they had in season 1 during the race somehow?

in the end, the two do what Wukong and Macaque couldnt, and make up. MK owns up to his mistake and they both get better. they have their own little adventures together, or something like that

and like that, it shows how they’re different from the Hero and the Warrior. it shows how Wukong and Macaque couldve turned out if theyd just put down their pride and communicated. it shows what they couldve been.

basically i just think they wouldnt turn out like macaque and wukong. ive seen a lot of people theorize that but they arent emotionally constipated enough for that to happen, plus we’ve seen them argue and make up on screen already.

also i think itd just make for some cool opportunities for art and visual parallels

Ive just had an insane au idea: so you know how fontaine has alot of human trafficking for some damm reason? Well what if it got so bad and the fontaine goverment is doing nothing to stop it or even supporting it (this part would require either furina and nuevillette bashing or for them to not have as much control over fontaine as they seem to) that mondstat and venti catch wind (heh) of it and basically invade to take control of the situation (assume varka pops back up due to hearing about this aswell) possibly even working with the house of hearth who havve trying to deal with the problem.

interesting idea but this would indeed necessitate shafting furna or neuvillette's control over fontaine. furina i can see but neuvillette? might be easier to just make part of the reason why shits fucked is bc something happened to both of them and the phantoms and maison gestion are trying their best to manage the city on their own without a leader

this would ALSO necessitate either a) varka turning out to be an actually competent man and good leader (which with jean's situation it'll have to have some sort of explanation to be believable) and that all the men he took with him being actually also competent and good at their jobs or b) that you magically make the knights of favonius actually good at their job. like they couldn't get rid of a handful of fatui, i can't imagine the amount of concessions and au exceptions that'd need to happen for them to succesfully tackle a disaster of the magnitudes you're proposing. so like- unless you want to make a 'the knights are actually competent' au, you'd have to bring varka along and you'd have to necessarily make him and his men hypercompetent.

this would also somehow need to factor in fontaine even wanting to collaborate with mondstadt in specific about this. like i know the proposal of mondstadt being the ones is bc of freedom and whatnot, but like

realistically, mondstadt would be the last nation fontaine turns to. do they even share borders? plus sumeru's corps of thirty and eremites and the canonically-superior-combat-force millelith are literally right there on their doorstep. mondstadt would be like. not their first option AT ALL hahah

and the venti argument of him spearheading the operation in the name of freedom doesn't even work because chances are venti is gonna sleep through all that. again, you'd have to somehow justify venti being awake for this whole mess, either bc something happened in mondstadt (in which case why'd they go deal with fontaine's stuff if they themselves have problems? it'd have to be like- ok we got our shit sorted out, lets send our already tired men away on another mission and unman our possibly fresh-off-conflict ie vulnerable nation), or because... he just decided to wake up? i'm p sure he doesn't get to choose that, else any respect i have for him would just vanish. when he does wake up i think it's implied it's bc shit is happening in mondstadt? so why'd he wake up for fontaine??

anyway- interesting idea, but you'd have to do some real legwork to make the au believable. in the end, though, an au is an au and what do i know about believable aus. cyanide narwhal is literally right there LMAO

ngl it's getting rly annoying seeing people say "remake of x game!" constantly. people are so obsessed with the idea of remakes lately. they don't wonder what the next new game will be like. they just want remakes (including in franchises that don't do those often. not every franchise is Tales, where they've been doing remakes actively throughout its lifespan and not just during this Uwu Remake Era).

with FE, remakes make me a bit eh bc they've all sold poorly or just barely made a profit. Marth's games' remakes on top of the failed Tellius sales almost sent FE into its grave. SoV is just... there. it happened and the fandom moved on, save for the Alm and Celica alts in Heroes.

but like, it was so annoying watching VA interviews and just seeing the word "remake" thrown around so much from the chat. people want "remakes" of games that just don't need them. updated ports is one thing, but entire remakes?

there's more to FE than remakes, but it's all people seem to talk about. I'd like Tellius ports as much as the next girl for people's accessibility (and specifically bc IS' lack of marketing destroyed those games' sales and now they're so rare they're super expensive), but a remake? it's not necessary. even with quality of life features added, those games only need ports. I play them very regularly and frankly have way more fun with them than I do with modern day Menu Emblem.

also, I don't want the fandom wank carrying over into remakes of games that never even had wank. the biggest wank Tellius ever had was the Ike vs Micaiah wars in the fandom, which were not only a fraction of what happens now post Fodlan games but also weren't anywhere near as aggressive.

idk I'm just tired of remake this, remake that. it's also because of the rampant remakes in the industry that I'm tired of it, but it's also tiring to see it constantly in this fandom. I'm glad that FE7 is coming back, but as a port on the Switch and still as a GBA game. FE4? super glad it came back as a port (JP eShop only). remakes though? too tired of the concept (especially when FE remakes have not only almost killed the franchise from lack of sales but were otherwise just mediocre and moved on from pretty quickly). I also don't trust the FE fandom with remakes at this point. character hate is so rampant in this fandom that for the life of me I don't even want Tellius ports if it's going to save me the headache and aggravation from people's lack of character comprehension. :') that shit will turn me into a hard stan and my blog will have to be painted in my blorbo just to keep haters away. :'''')

Yakuza/RGG/Like a Dragon (but not that much it turns out) Ship Ask Game

(romantic, platonic, familial. Some might be more clearly one over the others, feel free to skip or alter any (✿◡‿◡) A chunk (read: most) of these work as just, standard general ship asks tbh. Oops?)

1. Who are your ships, and what kind of ships are they?

2. How did you meet?

3. How long have you known each other?

4. Would you say you have a pretty good relationship?

7. Do you ever end up in danger because of them?

8. What does the average day look like for you and your ship?

9. Any super notable events in your history together?

10. What canon 'faction' do they belong to, if any?

11. Are you also in that faction, or kept out of it? Or a different faction entirely?

12. Your day out turned into a substory! What happened?

13. Are you accepting of their lifestyle, or do you wish they'd change? Would they change for you?

14. Would they want you to change your lifestyle for them?

15. If you're involved in any of the factions, how do they feel about it?

16. How does your story end? Is it a happy ending, or a bitter one? A little of both?

17. What would a co-op heat action look like for you two?

18. How would your relationship/story differ in Ishin or Kenzan?

19. What would they need to do to raise your affection/trust? Mini games? Fetch quests?

20. What is the most convoluted plot line you can come up with centered around your relationship? Go as wild as possible.

So I just finished listening to the radio version of Mask of Dimitrios and like.....

Script writers for the Lady Astor face cream mystery screen guild or whatever the fuck you're called....what did Sydney Greenstreet do to hurt you??

Not only is this the second time these big bullies changed the ending of a film Syd was in so his character dies when he didn't originally, but why the hell did they make Eric a significantly less sympathetic and dignified character for no real reason?

•He says that he never intended to give Cornelius his share of the money anyway when there was nothing in the film that explicitly suggested he was planning to use him like that.

•When he tells Leyden to leave the room in this version, he's yelling for him to get the police instead of trying to protect him, even though getting the cops involved seems like a really stupid idea all things considered

•They make Leyden all squeamish about the idea of blackmailing dimitrios for some reason, thus making it seem like Peter's was forcing him into it when that wasn't the case at all

•Ofc since Eric dies in this version, we don't have the touching ending where he realises the money doesnt matter to him and then when the police show up, he takes full responsibility for Dimitrios murder. This part is especially frustrating since my other gripes with Eric's character wouldve been mostly forgiving if they kept the films ending in since his other flaws could then be dismissed as a slightly heavy handed way to show how his bond with Cornelius changed Eric for the better. But nope!

•And finally, idk why this one bugs me so much, but something about the dopey lil reveal at the end that the champagne Eric bought was just shitty, 5 Frank wine really pouts my lip. Like, he has a million Frank's, why the fuck would he be a cheapskate about the champagne??

Boy! I did nooot expect to have this much to complain about with this one. In fact, for the first half of the show, I was getting ready to call it my favourite radio adaption of one of Peter's films. Tbh its still my second favourite, but that is not saying much considering how hostile I am towards the radio adaption of TMF
