that scene when L falls out of the chair and it zooms into Light’s eyes and it looks like shattered glass and then when he cradles L in his arms and looks for a moment like he’s about to burst into tears only to then smile? ….. I could write an essay on the implications and the subtext of that alone

I was watching an old episode of a Critical Role show, and they were playing a Lupin III arcade game from 1983?! It was called Cliff Hanger and was based off the film. As the preeminent Lupin III blogger on the internet, the episode was Mame Drop: Laser Disk Classics if you want to take a look
I completely forgot to answer this ask but YES. Cliff Hanger (1983) is my white whale of arcade games; I have never wanted to play a game I will lose at so badly. There are only four (registered) cabinets in the U.S. (where I live) and someday I WILL drive several hours to one just to play it.
For those unfamiliar, this is a very-much-unauthorized mashup of the first two Lupin III films—The Mystery of Mamo (1978, dir. Soji Yoshikawa) and The Castle of Cagliostro (1979, dir. Hayao Miyazaki)—and perhaps the two most visually and tonally different Lupin installments to this day. A small American company got their hands on these films, cut them together into a new storyline that mostly followed Cagliostro but with a few action scenes (and also the hanging shot) from Mamo spliced in, and made a LaserDisc arcade game out of it.
Notably, you can see Chunk playing this game in the opening chase scene of The Goonies (1985) (2:50). Cagliostro was a major source of inspiration for that film, all the way down to Lupin/Data's belt-buckle wire (2:29).

Here is an original promotional video for Cliff Hanger:

You can watch a full playthrough here:

If you'd like a full playthrough on a physical cabinet screen, complete with the original player-death hanging animation from Mamo (14:25), look no further:
youtube
And finally, the Critical Role video in question (Cliff Hanger begins at 25:28) (warning: this also features the death-by-hanging animation):

And maybe it’s because I’ve been thinking of J & M a lot lately, but Thornton’s actions concerning Margaret’s lie remind me so much of Joseph from the Bible. (Oh, wait. Both couples have the same initials. I barely noticed that.)
Being presented with very compelling evidence that the woman he loves has done something wrong (she hasn’t, but he can’t be sure of that yet), having the ability and, in a way, the “right,” to make it public, but choosing not to. Choosing to use his power to protect her instead.
#it makes me emotional#I wonder if EG drew that parallel on purpose#with the initials and all#compels me#elly's posts#north and south#john thornton#elizabeth gaskell

once again thinking about sunandmoon from hit game fnaf: what if we just got rid of the gameplay loop
#random thoughts#fnaf#i like the idea of sunandmoon being a bit of an asshole to staff#sun is passive-aggressive while moon is just aggressive#sun's backhanded compliments. fake positivity. false compliance. finds loopholes in what you say and blames you for not being clear enough#he'll avoid doing stuff until you say the Exact Phrase he's looking for and he'll be like#'well why didn't you say so sooner friend?'#'there's no shame in asking for help' and literally every time you ask for help he is NOT helpful at ALL#says it's a learning opportunity#he DOES take advantage of people thinking he's basically a child to low-key insult everyone#looks at what you're wearing like 'oh boy i didn't know this was gonna be a COSTUME PARTY!!!'#he'll explain how to do literally everything even if you say you've done something before#moon steals your shit and takes pot shots at you from the rafters with ballpit balls#he is uncooperative. explicitly uncooperative#sneaks up on you in dark rooms just to watch you jump#can walk in a way where his bells don't jingle so he'll randomly jingle from different areas in a room#so you have no idea where he is at all times#they both try to be self-sufficient and only rely on each other because staff has let them down WAYYY too many times#they don't have a concept of personal agency because they consider themselves to be objects but once they learn? hoo boy#they'd have to learn what things they should and shouldn't avoid. how to balance their own needs and the needs of those they love#like they don't want to go to P&S but it's important and it makes their little friends sad when they break down#it's one thing telling kids things like 'we need to play games EVERYONE likes and not just your favorite all the time'#and 'you need to ask before hugging a friend'#actually applying that to yourself? developing the self control necessary?#compels me#when your animatronic best friend realizes he has personal agency so now HE decides when the hugs end#i think he corrects people on how to do things to keep them from doing them#like you're trying to wipe him down and he's like 'we need to keep our hands to ourselves friend!'#or if the daycare had a day pass to monty golf and you kept missing the hole he'd be like 'you're supposed to get the ball IN the hole!'

Lately my partner and I are obsessed with an imaginary PPV wrestling event we made up called "The Not-Quite-All-Night Fight."
Since this obsession mostly amounts to announcing it at each other in an overly enthusiastic commentator voice, I couldn't really tell you what it entails, beyond the assumption that it would be unreasonably long.
#yes my partner is still watching old wrestling and yes I'm still finding it weirdly fun#I like it when the Frankenstein and the Quasimodo beat the absolute tar out of each other while the dreadful little man shouts at them#compels me

So the way op says last night implies to me that the strawberry cutting is the next day, in which case, are there that many of you not washing your dishes after preparing food? Is it just common for cat owners to wash things and put them away cause we know things left on the counter risks kitty paws? How long are yall leaving dishes sitting out and reusing them without washing? Do you put the cutting board in the cabinet when you don't clean it or leave it out? What dishes do you consider valid to not wash before the next use? I have so many questions about yalls kitchen and food prep habits and I never want to eat anything yall made.
uh oohhh forgot to wipe down the cutting board from last night before cutting up strawberries #onionberries #onionberries #onionberries #onionberries #onionberries
#opossum thoughts#compels me#these are real questions#i was raised in a fairly clean household#im pretty messy myself but certain things remain#could also be the cat part#i wash my counters off before cooking too#also if you have cats and are convinced they never jump on the counters even when youre gone youre stupid#why even take the risk#just wipe down your counters#ill use disinfecting wipes or just that dawn dish spray and a rag

I'm obsessed with characters we only hear about second or third hand, especially when those accounts are conflicting. No, you don't get to see them, but here's a warped mirror of what other people thought they were. Enjoy your contemplation of how being known is an act of translation and communicates only aspects of the self.
#examples like anastasia and alecto and even gideon the first in tlt#agnes in the magnus archives#sir no longer present in the narrative#no longer able to speak for themselves#persisting only as part of the mythology of others#it's compelling to me

Just saw a TikTok complaining about ‘kitten’ as a pet name in fanfiction and while I do agree with/understand their discomfort on that one the comments were FULL of people mentioning all the other common pet names ?? Like honey babe baby sweetheart etc ?? Is your partner just supposed to call you by your name the whole time ????????
#you’re so welcome to your opinions but like#if you just vehemently loathe all pet names then what are we supposed to do#and it wasn’t like one person said honey one person said baby etc#it was like EVERYONE said EVERY pet name all at once#whatever it makes me nauseous to think that everyone has this secret vendetta against pet names so I’m just#going to pretend I never saw it and hope no one feels compelled to unfollow at the sight of ‘sweetheart’
