#does this appease you

[princess-rising-chaos]

hiiiii kay<3 will you kill me if i tell you to do the prime numbers? :3

No god nor physical law could spare you from my fury. I don't have any for you though so you're safe.

Platform of choice when gaming?

PC, since I was but a small speck

2. Top 5 games of all time.

What a wild question. Either you play a very small handful of games and this is hard to fill out, or you play a buncha games and it's hard to narrow it down.

Age of Empires 2, Total War Warhammer 3, Tales of Berseria, MGSV, maybe Dark Souls 2? No I hate that being on the list. Atelier Sophie. Literally two of those are at all definite. Labyrinth of Refrain threatens to creep in at any moment, for example.

Edit: I hate this question. Changing my answer to: Age of Empires 2, Total War Warhammer 3, and that's it. There are no other clear winners.

3. Favourite boss?

I will do Dark Souls 2 for this one. The Old Ivory King.

5. Most memorable gaming moment?

Uhhhhhhhh. I have memory issues. Right now maybe beating Violet Mizutsune first try? The opening to Wasteland 3?

7. Most recent game you played?

SOVL. Don't play it. I wish my most recently played game was Granblue Fantasy Relink.

9. Most hours you’ve put into a single game?

That is a secret only god knows because there is no way to track my hours on age of empires 2 across many, many years. I would hazard that. If not, then the highest playtime on steam is 1,356 hours in Hearts of Iron 4

11. Favorite game genre?

RTS. For which I have been condemned to a life of suffering because people keep trying to make very bad ones. Ah well. I will always have Total War.

13. Coolest enemy/boss design?

It is genuinely kinda wild how few games I play have what could be considered enemies or bosses. Gold Rathian is pretty sick? I can feel some other awe inspiring bosses in the back of my head but i cannot remember them.

17. Do you play mobile games?

Don't have the energy for them. I want one that doesn't suck and isn't constantly dripping more content that I have to keep up with. That is apparently too much to ask.

19. A game that you wish you could play for the first time again.

Tales of Berseria maybe? Lots of em.

23. Do you typically choose to play a male or female character (when asked to pick)?

If the game doesn't let me play as a girl I am MUCH less likely to play it at all.

27. A popular game that you just can’t get into.

Uh. I dunno. I can kinda enjoy any game? Would VNs count? Because as much as I love VNs and want to engage with them I have a very difficult time actually doing so.

31. If you could only play one game for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Total War Warhammer 3. No doubt. Age of Empires 2 is a solid backup. but like. It's gotta be the warhammer.

37. Kill, Fuck, Marry (choose three characters)

I have no need to kill anyone.

I would prefer a more emotional connection.

I would marry the Emerald Herald though.

The fact I haven't seen that many people talk about how lestat did the exact same thing his father did to him to Claudia by forcibly removing her from the train in ep 6 is a real disservice to both Claudia and Lestat

[sammygender]

i’ve never been as angry on behalf of a character as i am for sam winchester

[bigassbowlingballhead]

hey man can you please tag your text posts/thirst posts with something so that I can block it? (before you tell me to unfollow you, I don't follow you. You just keep showing up on my dash anyway)

if you're talking about the thirst asks i get, all of my asks are tagged as box talk. feel free to filter that tag. or if they bother you that much, block me i really don't give a fuck.

tw: rape

gyns I wanna be clear that I’m not out here to hate on Women Talking because it was a really really really great film and I love Sarah Polley and wish her nothing but the best. And even though I was confused by Toews’ choice to make so much of the book about August, I still love her writing and enjoyed the book. and I really think y’all would really like the movie and the book and you should definitely go see it if you have the chance

but we gotta talk what happens to Nettie/Melvin in the film adaptation!!

breif overview of the concept: Women Talking is loosely inspired by the events of the Manitoba Mennonite Colony in Bolivia - women were repeatedly drugged and raped in the night. they were told that they were making it up or that they’d been attacked by the devil as punishment but in reality it was the men of the colony. this happened between 2005 and 2009 but probably continued even after the men were caught and arrested

so in the book Nettie is attacked and she is impregnated and later loses her child. this is obviously traumatic. she changes her name to Melvin and begins dressing as a man. (obviously because she’s living in a traditional mennonite colony, she can never fully take on the role of a man - her job becomes caring for the children) it is very clear in the book that this (as well as her no longer speaking to adults) is a trauma response and Toews refers to this character as Nettie, Nettie/Melvin, and Melvin but settles on Melvin at the end though she ALWAYS calls Melvin ‘she’

the movie however, within like thirty seconds of introducing Nettie/Melvin the film explicitly says (via narration. like when I say explicit, I mean explicit!) that Melvin is not living as a man as a result of trauma. It was something along the lines of “Melvin was a man all along. He just couldn’t hide it any more after it happened.” So instead, being raped and losing a child act as catalyst events that make Melvin’s life as a woman untenable

and I just hate that they’ve taken the easy way out with this! it’s so much more interesting and truthful (!) to be like this character is living in an overtly hierarchical, misogynist society and on top of that she experiences a series of distinctly sex-based trauma in addition to living amongst this growing collective trauma that the women are experiencing and so she attempts to live as a man for her safety! like how can you not see that that is what’s happening

[vulturevanity]

I feel like SV girlies haven't seriously considered "codependent mutually obsessive JuliNemo" yet and that's a shame, really. I've seen a lot of wholesome ChampionRank (really cute but a rehash of every wholesome yuri I've ever seen, not much original content here and that's okay) and one-sided obsessive yandere!Nemona ChampionRank (REALLY do not like the villainization of Nemona's neurodivergence but eh, you can do whatever you want forever) but not as much "these two get on like a house on fire. and boy, it's dry season" ChampionRank.

Where is "battle-hungry socially starved trainwrecks who have no one but each other" JuliNemo. Where is "oh god these two exacerbate each others issues into the stratosphere and this can only end in disaster but I can't look away" JuliNemo. Where is "bringing out the worst in each other and scaring the hoes" JuliNemo. Where is "you two are perfect for each other. Never change, just never involve anyone else in any of this" JuliNemo. There's so much potential here. Toxic codependent yuri save me

[joy-yet-again]

i do believe a lot of behaviors that people consider "uniquely human" are also displayed in many animals but i also believe anthropomorphism prevents people from treating animals appropriately and it is hard to reconcile the two and explain that to others

[etherealhoneypie]

hey can i talk abt something possibly triggering real quick in the tags okay cool

[nct127s]

those bisexual women who pander to people who hate on them for having boyfriends are so cringe, the whole ‘omg I hate being with a man’ ‘men are so awful’ ‘I wish I had a girlfriend instead of boyfriend’ stuff is genuinely awful, I hope your man leaves you because you’re actually a piece of shit

[softshuji]

Any men out there wanna pretend to be my bf to get my parents off my case about marriage? I am so so serious right now.

[tasmanianstripes]

Sad to see how fast people turned away from "cringe culture is dead" and turned to "anything not canon compliant is bad and annoying"

Character regression

[poptartmochi]

hm.. closing thoughts. bennie deserved better 😔

[area51-escapee]

It’s possible to criticize something primarily enjoyed by women without being misogynistic and also just because something is primarily enjoyed by women that doesn’t make it above criticism. Especially when most of the people giving in depth, valid, well thought out critiques. Are also. Women. It doesn’t matter that things like Twilight or true crime or Taylor Swift (damn the three T’s if you will) ect. have a lot of female fans, people are still allowed to call out the harm they’ve caused and they aren’t inherently misogynistic for doing so. This isn’t about quality or whether something is worth enjoying or not, this is about the way these things impact other people in real life and those things should be acknowledged.

[shinkai-kaiju]

are you fucking kidding me

[ssaalexblake]

the life of a 13 era dw fan who doesn't like doing negative fandom things, as in, spending my time going on about what i dislike about it and would rather discuss positive or neural things about it, and how this genuinely Genuinely bothers some people lol

[quietwingsinthesky]

im gonna put together a longer post after this for my other reactions but im putting this one here separately because i think it encapsulates my thoughts on this version of simm!master and its. they don’t really capture how he antagonizes the doctor. and what i mean is he simply would not let the doctor monologue at him like he does when twelve’s going off at him and missy. like ten fucking tries So Many Times to talk at the master, and consistently, the master cuts him off, snaps out a joke about whatever serious topic the doctor wants. he just doesn’t let it get that far, you know?

the stand-out moments he does are, from what i remember, the end of last of the time lords, when he literally Can’t stop the doctor from monologuing at him because he’s become jesus through Thought Power or some shit. and then the end of time moment we all love, stone-cold brilliant, which is a complete reversal where the doctor is the one (seemingly) securely powerless. when they’re on equal footing, he simply does not let the doctor talk at him.

and like yeah, the ‘didn’t listen to a word you just said’ thing is funny but. god, i don’t know how to put it. yeah, he would have listened. that’s why he always cuts the doctor off when the doctor tries to connect on the his terms rather than the master’s. that’s why he doesn’t let him monologue at him. that’s why he’s practically shouting over the doctor to be heard first.

if that makes any goddamn sense. do his bastardness properly, moffat. he would not fucking do that.
