I see your "you should be able to fuck Gortash as DUrge" and raise you "there should be a murder suicide option."

Fuck it, doomed romance wins. Romeo and Juliet that shit and then finish the game as one of the other characters.

big idea!!! what if instead of annabeth falling off the cliff with the manticore!! the manticore drags her to the edge of the cliff so it doesn't fall alone!! and percy sees what's happening!! and wills a nearby water source to take hold of her hand!! because he wants to prove himself as a big three kid!! but the water does not catch her in time!! and percy has to watch annabeth fall into what looks like a dark and bottomless pit!!!

House md really is the gayest of gay queerbait. Like I’m sorry but besides SPN and maybe Sherlock no one was doing it like them. And the thing is I don’t even think it was intentional??? House md was unbelievably popular but in a normal Game of Thrones, Grey’s Anatomy way. It’s the kinda show that everyone’s mom watched when it first came out on cable (mine included). Appealing to a young queer internet audience in 2007 wasn’t a marketing strategy they would ever attempt. It doesn’t make sense.

And yet. 

The sheer amount of gay jokes and allegories is just overwhelming by the time you get to the last season. Amber is Wilson’s House proxy, House and Wilson move in together TWICE, the fake marriage proposal, the exploration of toxic masculinity, Wilson’s 3 failed marriages, fucking everything about the last few eps. Like what other tv show spent almost a decade creating the most co-dependent, self-sabotaging relationship between its two main male characters that is essentially the backbone of the entire show. They literally ride off into the sunset together. Idk what else you want from me.

some quick initial reactions to celebrate Diasomnia Day One! it felt like a bit of a short intro, but oh, what a tasting menu of things to come.

[ID: A digital sketchpage of Colin Becher from The Magnus Protocol on a gray background. He is a thin white man with a receding hairline and a blonde mullet that is very long in the back, tied into a low ponytail. He also has a mustache, patchy facial hair, body hair, and blue eyes. In four out of five sketches, Colin is wearing silver stud earrings, rectangular glasses with yellow lenses, a yellow t-shirt under a light blue button down, a light brown zip-up hoodie, blue jeans with brown knee patches, blue and white striped socks, brown sneakers, and bracelets including a braided one with pink and burgundy threads. On the right, there's a shoulder-up sketch of Colin with his body facing to the side while he turns his head to the viewer, looking angry. Below that is a far less detailed doodle of him on all fours like some kind of creature. On the far left is a shoulders-up sketch of him leaning against his hand looking tired with one eyebrow raised. Below that is a drawing of him facing away from the viewer on all fours looking under something with a little dark smudge above him denoting annoyance. In the middle is a full-body drawing of him posed as though sitting with one leg bent as he holds a game controller. He is wearing his glasses and earrings, as well as a white crop top that says "slut.exe" in blue text, yellow underwear, and blue and white thigh-high socks. He looks focused but also relatively relaxed. end ID]

normal about that IT manager

and yes whenever i draw him with striped socks i need you all to know that they're the programmer socks. alice gave them to him mostly as a joke but he actually loves them and that's one reason they're buds in my mind

Favorite genre of character art in Trigun/TriMax is when characters get simplified and drawn Itty Bitty. Hit those guys with the silly-fication beam.

You guys notice how Melinoe and Hypnos might be playing out a much lower stakes version what happened between Narcissus and Echo? It's less about a doomed unrequited love, and more about projecting a false image onto a person that prevents you from ever connecting with them.

In the story, Narcissus is lost and can't see Echo, but Echo sees him and falls in love with him. And instead of listening to what Narcissus actually said, Echo projected onto him what she wanted to hear, a love confession. The misunderstanding dooms Echo to heartbreak and Narcissus to his death.

Once Hypnos wakes up, or they somehow meet in a dream, Melinoe will realize she kind of built a version of Hypnos in her head that doesn't exist. But instead of letting things go south, she'd recognize that it wasn't fair to Hypnos or herself to assume this romanticized version of him was the real him and she'd get to know the real Hypnos, this goofy muppet of a god.

Maybe that could be the resolution to Echo and Narcissus' story too. Right now they're both the inverse of each other's curse. Echo can only live as the reflection of other people's thoughts and voices. Even when you try to help her speak you're still putting words in her mouth and projecting what YOU think she wants to say her own identity is more a construction of your assumptions. Meanwhile, Narcissus' own curse has him project his self-obsession onto us where we must be as into him as he is with himself now and is largely disconnected from others because of it.

To break their curses means their own sense of selves need to finally be righted, and they'd take in each other as who they are, rather than their own idea that doomed them.
