Yall ever think about how Nightmare bb is canon in FNAF

[inkskinned]

at some point it's just like. do they even fucking like the thing they're asking AI to make? "oh we'll just use AI for all the scripts" "we'll just use AI for art" "no worries AI can write this book" "oh, AI could easily design this"

like... it's so clear they've never stood in the middle of an art museum and felt like crying, looking at a piece that somehow cuts into your marrow even though the artist and you are separated by space and time. they've never looked at a poem - once, twice, three times - just because the words feel like a fired gun, something too-close, clanging behind your eyes. they've never gotten to the end of the movie and had to arrive, blinking, back into their body, laughing a little because they were holding their breath without realizing.

"oh AI can mimic style" "AI can mimic emotion" "AI can mimic you and your job is almost gone, kid."

... how do i explain to you - you can make AI that does a perfect job of imitating me. you could disseminate it through the entire world and make so much money, using my works and my ideas and my everything.

and i'd still keep writing.

i don't know there's a word for it. in high school, we become aware that the way we feel about our artform is a cliche - it's like breathing. over and over, artists all feel the same thing. "i write because i need to" and "my music is how i speak" and "i make art because it's either that or i stop existing." it is such a common experience, the violence and immediacy we mean behind it is like breathing to me - comes out like a useless understatement. it's a cliche because we all feel it, not because the experience isn't actually persistent. so many of us have this ... fluttering urgency behind our ribs.

i'm not doing it for the money. for a star on the ground in some city i've never visited. i am doing it because when i was seven i started taking notebooks with me on walks. i am doing it because in second grade i wrote a poem and stood up in front of my whole class to read it out while i shook with nerves. i am doing it because i spent high school scribbling all my feelings down. i am doing it for the 16 year old me and the 18 year old me and the today-me, how we can never put the pen down. you can take me down to a subatomic layer, eviscerate me - and never find the source of it; it is of me. when i was 19 i named this blog inkskinned because i was dramatic and lonely and it felt like the only thing that was actually permanently-true about me was that this is what is inside of me, that the words come up over everything, coat everything, bloom their little twilight arias into every nook and corner and alley

"we're gonna replace you". that is okay. you think that i am writing to fill a space. that someone said JOB OPENING: Writer Needed, and i wrote to answer. you think one raindrop replaces another, and i think they're both just falling. you think art has a place, that is simply arrives on walls when it is needed, that is only ever on demand, perfect, easily requested. you see "audience spending" and "marketability" and "multi-line merch opportunity"

and i see a kid drowning. i am writing to make her a boat. i am writing because what used to be a river raft has long become a fully-rigged ship. i am writing because you can fucking rip this out of my cold dead clammy hands and i will still come back as a ghost and i will still be penning poems about it.

it isn't even love. the word we use the most i think is "passion". devotion, obsession, necessity. my favorite little fact about the magic of artists - "abracadabra" means i create as i speak. we make because it sluices out of us. because we look down and our hands are somehow already busy. because it was the first thing we knew and it is our backbone and heartbreak and everything. because we have given up well-paying jobs and a "real life" and the approval of our parents. we create because - the cliche again. it's like breathing. we create because we must.

you create because you're greedy.

I think Brennan did something interesting with the Porter and Gorgug scene in the last episode. Porter is by all appearances a competent Barbarian teacher. He understands the role of Rage and its mechanical combat benefits, and he even recognizes how Gorgug uses Rage to protect those he cares about. But he doesn't understand how multiclassing into a caster fits into that framework.

And it's true! In 5e you can't cast or concentrate on spells in a Rage. But-- Artificers work a little different than other casters! Alchemist Elixirs and Arcane Cannons aren't technically spells. Arcane Armor just works. And so does the Steel Defender.

Of any caster I think the Artificer is probably the best-suited to multiclass Barbarian because their key subclass features are largely not spells. But it also runs into the problem of requiring multiple high stats. Barbarians already want high STR and CON, and Artificers need INT for their spells and spell saves.

And so there's this narrative tension here. Brennan the DM obviously wants to let his player have fun with the character build-- embracing the creative artificer side of himself is a great character moment for Gorgug, bearer of the tin flower. Someone who has always channeled Rage to protect those he cares about but who has also been called to create and preserve beauty.

And yet mechanically, it's a difficult build. We didn't see Gorgug cast anything in the Night Yorb battle, as far as I recall? And in-universe, classes are a formally recognized thing that require approval. But Gorgug can't be the kind of Barbarian that Porter wants him to be. So he has to show that he can be a different kind of Barbarian-- one whose magic integrates and synergizes with his Rage rather than opposing it.

We see Gorgug still insecure about his homunculus and about the solar lasso, even though these are objectively impressive feats. So it's not a skill issue but an internal conflict-- it's only once Gorgug reconciles and synthesizes his magic with his Barbarian side that the in-world powers that be will recognize him for all of who he is.

Has Dave met any other weird kids besides Leonard and Shawn? Maybe a singing princess or a beatboxer with a big afro (would his name still be Beardo?)

god, his class is full of weirdos...

there are kids who think they're fictional characters who AREN'T REAL...

then there's Binky, (nobody knows what his real name is, kids just call him that cuz he still uses a soother despite being 4 years old) who won't shut up with stupid sound effects...

other kids are loud and boisterous...

or just plain off-putting...

the only kids Dave believe are normal are all girls... he has no idea how to talk to girls (living in a literally all-male household doesn't help much)

...yea that's why he kinda just sticks with Shawn of all kids...

"I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it for the truth." -> a tgaa and asoryuu analysis rambling

so um hi. i have never posted on here before but i finished tgaa recently and im consumed by terrible brainrot. i have sooo many thoughts about it that i can barely process them all. then i remembered i have free will and a tumblr account so here we are.

anyways i can't stop rotating that one quote around in my mind. the one from ryunosuke in case 2-5, "I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it for the truth." i have so much to say about these lines i just find them so interesting and i needed to properly write out all my thoughts.

massive huge tgaa 2 spoilers below you have been warned !!!

ive seen ppl interpreting this as some kind of angsty asoryuu thing which i don't really agree with personally (and i will explain why). the other interpretation i've seen is that it shows ryunosuke's growth because he originally wanted to be a defense lawyer to honour kazuma but now it's the path he's chosen for himself.

i do agree with and like that second interpretation... but i think it's also more than that. mainly because if it was just concerning ryunosuke's growth, it could have been an internal thought. it's important that he said it out loud and it's important for kazuma to have heard him say those words. i really think it perfectly captures the asoryuu dynamic in this trial.

firstly, i think it's obvious that ryu REALLY cares about kazuma and wants to help him. he even says he came to face him through everything as a lawyer and a friend.

and just before he says The Lines that we're analysing here, he acknowledges that kazuma has been waiting his whole life for this moment and tries to think of any way to find the truth. which shows he understands how hard this is for kazuma and wants to do whatever he can.

so ryu is definitely motivated by a desire to help kazuma, that's without a doubt. so then why does he say, "i'm not doing this for you. i'm doing it for the truth" to kazuma ???

in this moment they are facing each other in the court room as defense and prosecution. in this setting, there is nothing more important than the truth. which means being motivated by a desire to find the truth is on a much higher level than any other motivation, including helping your friend. ryu knows that the truth might be painful for kazuma, but he knows that it's important to uncover it nevertheless. and he knows that this is so much bigger than kazuma and it's important to find the truth for all of the people caught up in this terrible secret.

it would almost be a disservice to kazuma if ryu said that he was doing it for him. because kazuma is important to him... but what is more important is that ryu would do the same in any situation and in any trial. no matter who was involved whether they were people close to him or not, he would always pursue the truth above all else. kazuma saw that for himself in case 2-3 (even though he hadn't regained his memories yet) he saw how ryu never stopped chasing after the truth. that's what gives ryu such integrity as a defense lawyer and that's why kazuma can put his trust in him.

this is their exchange before ryu says "im not doing this for you. im doing it for the truth"

you can see how emotional kazuma is and pleading with ryu that the trial can't end yet. this is an emotional trial for kazuma and it's clear that his emotions are clouding his judgement. when ryu says "im not doing this for you" he is saying that he isn't letting his personal feelings for kazuma cloud his perception of the truth. it's like he's giving kazuma a reminder so he doesn't stray too far off track. i would also say that maybe kazuma was aware that he might not be able to keep his cool during the trial and part of the reason he wanted ryu to be there is because he trusted him to keep him on track.

it's like ryunosuke is saying to kazuma "you can trust me. i know this is difficult and emotional for you but i will be a steady force that remains objective and steadfast, never faltering, and always keeping you tethered"

for kazuma this is the culmination of years of grief and rage and sorrow and confusion. he's like a ship out on a stormy sea and by staying calm throughout the trial and relentlessly pursuing the truth ryunosuke acts like an anchor for kazuma.

this does lead them to the truth in the end but it wouldn't have been possible without kazuma and ryunosuke putting their trust in each other. kazuma wanted ryu to be the defense, trusting that he could see this trial through to the end and uncover the truth no matter what. kazuma has been doing it all on his own for so long that trusting ryunosuke like this is a really big deal.

"I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it for the truth."

by never wavering from pursuit of the truth above anything else and remaining objective, ryunosuke proves that he is worthy of kazuma's trust. and if kazuma can trust him, that means he doesn't have to do this on his own anymore. which is the most special gift that ryunosuke could possibly give him.

Barty "love sick" Crouch Jr

I think Barty (before rosekiller) would have been the biggest fucking flirt with everyone but when it came to flirting with Evan he couldn't do it, Barty would get so flustered and he wouldn't be able to say anything in fear of ruining his friendship but Evan was just as love sick over Barty. This is how I imagine it went down.

Barty:"Hey Ev" (has this flirty smile on his face)

Evan: (he would have a flower crown on his head that panda made for him) "Hey Bee whats up mate" (he would have a sweet smile on his face)

Barty: (flustered would zone out just admiring Evans features) "I um do you wanna I mean oh fuck"

Barty runs off down the hall embarassed and would hide in the dorms the rest of the day.

Thinking about the what if El was never interested in Mike romantically, she just assumed she was discourse on the tag today and how it's very possible what could make El fully realize this, is when in s5 she see's Will's love for Mike in real time, for the first time, and she's just like damn! That is not me!
