girls when they remember that tevinter nights reveals that
1. solas can kill people in their sleep, large groups of people all at once, including dwarves, by giving them dreams so horrifying they bleed out of their ears and die
2. he has a massive network of spies and agents that do his bidding across all of thedas and speak about him with reverence like a true god. one blesses a fellow fallen elf by saying “the dread wolf guide your soul to peace, brother”
3. solas’s dread wolf form looks like a combination of a pride demon, a wolf, and a dragon, “lupine in appearance but the size of a high dragon, with shaggy spiked hide and six burning eyes like a pride demon” and he can fly around the fade on “wings of fire” that disperse into an army of demons/spirits
4. he shows up in this form to terrorize a group of mortalitasi who were binding spirits for a ritual, and says “YOU MEDDLE PAST YOUR UNDERSTANDING, FOOLISH MORTAL MAGES, AND IN DOING SO, YOU THREATEN ALL CREATION. YOU USE MY IDOL CARELESSLY TO VANDALIZE THE SEA OF DREAMS. NOW FEEL THE PAIN OF WHAT YOU HAVE CREATED. FROM THIS MOMENT, SHOULD YOU EVER BIND A SPIRIT, THEN YOUR LIFE IS MINE.”
#one of the major ways that veilguard could disappoint me is by not delivering on the set up of him being terrifying#and insanely powerful#they did a good job conveying it in trespasser though so i have hope#the engine can for sure handle it too so they have no excuse#this also has interesting implications for the dread wolf form we see in the trailer#because it’s simply not as sick as what’s described here#it could be because he’s out of the fade#it could also be on purpose- he’s pretending to be less powerful perhaps to bait elgarnan in that fight#not showing his full hand for some reason… it would be in character#it could also not be him at all and could be rook as some people suspect#I just fucking hope it’s not something BORING like him getting nerfed again for some dumb reason#solas

Judging by the trailer, it feels like they made this movie for an audience that doesn’t know anything about Minecraft except that it’s “the block game.” As much as it may look like Minecraft (and that’s debatable), it doesn’t FEEL like Minecraft.
Anyone who hasn’t experienced Minecraft for themselves will be getting exactly what they’re expecting from this movie, meanwhile the people who are actually familiar with and love the game will feel alienated because this is such a poor representation of the thing that they love.
You know what my basis is, for believing this? It’s not the stylization of the cgi, though that’s part of it. It’s not the comedic tone, though that’s part of it. It’s not the weird choice and lazy execution of live-action integration, though that’s part of it.
It’s because the trailer isn’t trying to say that Minecraft is an experience just waiting to be understood. It’s because the trailer isn’t trying to say that the oddities of Minecraft are what make it fascinating, sometimes even wonderful (and, yes, quite often amusing). It’s because the trailer isn’t trying to say that Minecraft is something you can find meaning in; whether meaning is a family, a skillset, a creative passion, a sense of belonging, a community, a reservoir of memories, a means of connection, or a better understanding of oneself.
It’s because the trailer is trying to say that Minecraft is ridiculous and incomprehensible.
This trailer doesn’t show me a movie about what it’s like to play Minecraft.
This trailer shows me a movie about what it’s like to not play Minecraft. And that’s the perspective it’s trying to sell the movie on. That’s the perspective it expects its audience to find relatable.
The trailer tells me that this movie was not made for the people who play Minecraft. It was made for the people who don’t.
I just hope that, if it does make people want to try playing it, they come to appreciate what the game really is.
#minecraft#a minecraft movie#minecraft movie#minecraft movie trailer#analysis#honestly if you want the gamers to love your movie about the game then#trying to say that ignorance of the game is what makes your story compelling is. NOT the way to do it#I know it’s being directed by a satirist so I’m reserving judgement for now#but I can’t say I’m not disappointed by what I’ve seen so far#(and seriously what’s with the constant backlighting)

At first I wasn't wild about Arlecchino's ponytail, but then I opened my third eye and considered... Arlecchino and her lover are in bed and her lover just stares at her hair and before Arlecchino could even ask why they're staring, they pull Arlecchino close, remove her hair tie and run their hands through her hair to enjoy how soft it is.
The bed was warm, but never warm enough. No one ever became truly warm in Snezhnayan weather. But Arlecchino was always warm. You were initially surprised but it was comforting, especially when she held you in her arms.
Arlecchino was also always awake before you. No matter how much you tried to wake up before her, she was always conscious. Some days she was already gone, her side of the bed cold. Some days she was still there, such as today, basking in the quietness as she waited for you to wake up.
Sometimes you wondered if she ever got bored of simply lying in silence with you on her sparse days off. Arlecchino was such a busy woman - she could probably be doing much more productive things instead of wasting her time here with you. You remember offhandedly mentioning it to her, but she quickly narrowed her eyes and told you not to be foolish, which was reassuring.
So, on rare days like this, where the first thing you saw when you woke up was her face instead of the empty space, it was very precious to you. Already awake, as per usual, she immediately noticed the slow opening of your eyes, considering her hand was now stroking your cheek.
“Good morning, [Name],” her voice echoed throughout the completely still room, save for the snow beating against the window. It took a few seconds for you to process that your lover was still here with you, the warmth from her body seeping into you, her voice repeating in your head. You looked at her blinking, taking in her smooth face, X-ed eyes, and pink lips all directed toward you. At first, she didn’t question your staring, as you were usually bleary and still adjusting to the light in the mornings. You sleepily wondered what she thought about as she studied you.
In no time you realized that she was actually here with you, especially when she placed a soft kiss on your cheek, quickly waking you up embarrassingly enough.
“Arlie… good morning. It’s nice to see you,” you murmured as you snuggled into her chest, enjoying the attention you were getting.
“You as well,” she responded, and silence reigned once more. One did not need to speak during these moments. Sometimes more is shared in the quiet than with words.
You peered back up at her, and that’s when you noticed that Arlecchino had exchanged her usual fancy hair clip for a regular hair tie so that it was more comfortable in bed. Though right now, her hair wasn’t the neat, orderly ponytail it usually was. Some wisps of hair bordered her face like a picture, while other locks were thrown over her body.
Arlecchino’s hair always fascinated you. It was beautiful, to put it simply, but simple wasn’t enough to describe it. Pure white that rivaled the snow of Snezhnaya, black locks trickling down that challenged the darkness of the night. And finally, it flowed into red curls that clashed against the white and matched her eyes.
Your internal marveling at your lover’s hair gave you the sudden urge to run your fingers through it. You had done it a few times before, and you enjoyed it immensely. Arlecchino seemed to not mind it either. So you decided to indulge yourself, and it was now that she noticed your endless staring. She was just about to question you when you suddenly pulled her closer (although it wasn’t much of a pull when your bodies were already touching each other) and tugged off the hair tie, allowing her hair to spill out and onto your waiting fingers.
The first touch of the softness against your fingers was heavenly. It was always astonishing how nicely her tresses rubbed and tickled against your hand. Hair both pretty to the eye and touch, something many people would be jealous of, including yourself. But you had Arlecchino all to yourself at least.
Arlecchino had not uttered a word during this. She had raised her eyebrows the tiniest bit at your sudden boldness, but soon returned to her poker face, allowing you to do as you pleased. Secretly, she had always found this activity to be quite relaxing and endearing, as well as finding the expression on your face cute. She wondered if you enjoyed this more than her sometimes, considering the funny things you did with her hair.
You twirled a whole lock of her hair around your finger, and let it go to see it bounce and then fall flat. You let strands flow between each of your fingers, and let it fall and brush against your arm in the process. You even combed out some tiny knots. It was always the mundane things that were oddly the most delightful, you thought, lost in the way her hair danced in your hand.
You weren’t sure how much time had past, but it was then you realized on every occasion where you played with her hair, you always asked explicit permission. Sometimes, there were days when she didn’t want to be touched, which was completely understandable, so you always made sure to ask. So now you were anxious about if you were internally irritating her.
The more you thought about it, you were worried that she would get annoyed at your continued stroking, so before you could get too lost in the motion, you began to pull away. But she hastily caught your wrist, only speaking a few words from there.
“You may continue.” You were surprised at her request but also happy and relieved, obeying her as your fingers returned to their rightful place, entangled with her locks of hair. It was then that she amazed you even more. Arlecchino’s eyelids began to droop, slowly but surely, until her multicolored eyes could be seen no longer. You knew she wasn’t asleep - she only fell asleep after you did - but this was simply incredible for you.
Your heart pounded fiercely at the sight, as though you’d just run a marathon. Even as Arlecchino’s lover, you rarely ever saw her as vulnerable as she was right now. She was surely a sight to behold. Ruthless and cruel to soft and comforted.
You didn’t utter a single word, not wanting to ruin this perfect and tender moment. And so the two of you continued to lay there in peace, her locks of hair gliding through your fingers effortlessly, and a very tiny, content smile on the Harbinger’s face.

I love the hc that wash and maine knew each other prior to pfl for multiple reasons, but one of those reasons is that I love imagining the freelancers being completely baffled over big, hulking maine, who hasn't spoken more than a sentence to any of them who they've watched put other freelancers through walls for touching him get playfully slapped on the back by this random guy from the team below them, only for maine to NOT hurt said random guy but also RECIPROCATE said playful slap on the back?????
they then proceed to watch this guy have an entire conversation with him without maine saying a single word, and then when the guy leaves and maine joins the group again they're like "uh, who the hell was that??" all maine replies with is "friend".
MAINE??? A FRIEND??????
#wash is just a guy but he comes off as an enigma of a man to sooooo many people#rvb#red vs blue#agent washington#agent maine#forever disappointed we didn't get to see more of maine and wash's friendship. the noncanon s9 trailer carries their relationship so hard#“hang in there buddy”#brb going to find and rb the gifset i made of that scene#mine

Sonic media don't make Eggman a joke because you need to prop up another villain as a credible threat challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
#sonic movie 3#god this trailer was such a massive disappointment#love that they *did* make Robotnik canonically fat just to make fun of his weight. fuck you#yet another “Eggman teams up with Sonic” plot because we've never heard THAT one before right#the only aspect I genuinely liked was Reeves' Shadow. the voice fits the character like a glove#i really want to give the movie the benefit of the doubt and assume it's just the trailer that's creating such a shitty impression#but I've been burned like this too many times#i was actually looking forward to this so yes i'm allowed to be mad#oh and since we're on the subject#idw sonic#sonic frontiers#<3

it just hit me that the movie is coming out next month imgonna throw upppppppp
#to be clear this isnt an excited post this is a scared post .#i feel kinda guilty about it with how excited i was about the first 2 movies#but i just cant be anymore paramount and the scu have disappointed me so much within the past year in so many ways ......#shadow is one of my favorite characters his lore makes me go crazy and is one of the things that pulled me into loving sonic so much#but i literally felt nothing while watching that trailer aside from confusion at some of the writing choices being made#like i wasnt expecting an exact recreation of sa2 but why is sonic working with gun . wtf is gerald doing here . why are there no girls .#the only positives to me were things that were cool visually . which doesnt outweigh all the things that have annoyed/disappointed me#like who cares about another cool sonic and shadow fight scene we already have plenty of those .#Anyway. saw some of those new promotional images.#i swear to god if they actually start calling shadow+eggman+gerald team dark#like they suggested they might in that survey from a while back#im gonna become the joker for real#(insert the NO that is NOT solid snake image but it says team dark instead)#also maybe im taking the hedgehog games way too seriously here#but having gerald still be alive and present in some form feels like such a bad idea from a story perspective ... like .#for one shadow lost Everything in the gun raid having gerald still be here feels like its undermining that in a way#but also gerald's whole thing in sa2 is being long dead but still impacting the story despite that . why is he ALIVEEEE#and why is he here over rouge ???? do they just hate women or something#(before someone goes ''it would take too much time/money to animate another cgi character''#maybe the movies should have just been fully animated if that sort of thing was a concern . just saying)

My lecturer just canceled the class for Thursday and Friday it's like the universe is telling me to play Modern Warfare III. It's the will of the world that I cry myself till my eyes are dry IT'S MAGIC
#IF the campaign is good tho :)#if the campaign isn't good and I don't cry that means it's for naught#I'm gonna play the campaign with the lowest expectation possible that it'll disappoint me#so that when it's actually bad I won't be as devastated#you can't blame me for thinking this way because they didn't even drop any single story trailer#it's like they don't care at all about the campaign#some say it's because they want to keep as much of the story a secret but isn't that what trailers does?#hyping me up without telling me the story?#anyway yea I'll play it with the utmost lowest expectation possible#call of duty#call of duty modern warfare#cod mw#cod#call of duty modern warfare 3#call of duty modern warfare III#call of duty modern warfare 2023

Couldn't cry but my heart feels like this:
The soundtrack was beautiful too and I love Roz's voice so much.
#Roz and Brightbill is my roman empire#the wild robot#the wild robot roz#mother and son#found family#i've been anticipating this movie since the first trailer came out and I wasn't disappointed#dreamworks the wild robot#dreamworks movies#dreamworks is very consistent on delivering either a mid movie or the most peak movie you ever watch on the next one#i believe they just flip a coin everytime they wanna make a new movie#i like that in the movie they didn't censor or shy away from the reality of nature#i hope this movie gets nominated the best movie of the year#Roz is so momther
