I feel like all of the "Ludinus is Right the Gods are bad" brigade are conveniently forgetting the dude who released Asmodeus and started off the Calamity was a mortal who fucked up big time trying to ascend like the Matron. Vespin Chloras is to blame for the Calamity kicking off. Not the Prime Deities. The Betrayers were sealed away, and he staged a prison break. That's a mortal failing. Not the God's fault.

Sure, their slug fest destroyed giant swathes of the world, but they wouldn't BE fighting if he hadn't done that. The fight was done, they were sealed. The Primes are fighting with the Betrayers over their desire to kill all the mortals. That's their disagreement. "Us" being alive. Everyone saying "oh clearly the Gods just don't care because of X, Y, and Z" are just flat out not paying attention. If they didn't care, everyone would already be dead, and the family would be back together. Why would they be fighting each other if they didn't care?

(Also, Luda is a big hypocrite, when the Gods destroy a city, one that threatened their very existence, they're monsters, but when he does it for much less good reasons imho it's totally fine/ a necessary evil... ok, sure dude).

Honestly, having Taliesin and Brennan at the same table is a lethal combination. It's just banger line after banger line with these two.

I will never be normal about the red dead redemption protagonists getting caught in the cycle of revenge for their loved ones

I was rewatching mouthwashing, and I ended up thinking of the different reactions that Curly and Jimmy had in doing their tasks. How during the scene of Anya evaluating Jimmy and showing dread towards the idea of doing his evaluation, Curly was the one that offered to take it off her hands. He had no issue with adding more to his plate, because he knew - or well, thought, he knew that Jimmy wasn't going to "bullshit" with him since he's known him for a long time. When Anya hands Curly a note from Swansea, Curly goes to check out what the issue is and he takes care of it without a complaint, the only "complaint" he has is how this incident could have damaged the pods. Which is reasonable, those pods are their only way to be saved if anything tragic happens on the ship. However, in comparison to Jimmy being asked to do things, he's passive-aggressive about it. When Anya asks Jimmy if he could help her out with Curly's painkillers, he tells her that people should be worth their titles, specifically using her title as a nurse when she asked him for help and then when she says forget it, since he made her feel insecure, he still goes "Oh no, I'LL take care of it" as if he was doing a chore, a favor for her. Then, there's that part where he blows up at her for things that she didn't even ask him to do - more so the others asked him about it, like the code scanner, him deciding he needed to find the axe for the foam, and then, there's the medicine part (which when she does ask, and she reconsiders - going to do it herself, he takes that away from her). Jimmy complains about the tasks he has to do and he treats it like a big issue, a "woes me" that he has to do this and that - wanting the praise of the capital without actually doing any work. While Curly doesn't complain about it, in fact, he even mentions that he's aware of how well he is doing at his job as a Captain during that cockpit scene with him and Jimmy. If Jimmy only had to do a small amount of tasks to get irritated and annoyed at being captain, while Curly didn't which I feel like encapsulates their personalities. Curly understands what he's doing is a job, it's a responsibility, why would he complain at any point for doing what he's suppose too? Why would he be upset at people asking him to do tasks? While Jimmy on the other hand, isn't used to it at all and it's different to what he's had before and he's realizing that he doesn't actually like doing the work he has too. I just wanted to ramble about it even if it seemed kind of obvious xd

It’s obvious but it is a thing people miss or understate when trying to find parallels in Curly’s and Jimmy’s relationship/personalities.

Like the way people portray it as neither taking responsibility when it is almost split down the middle of Curly taking responsibilities and faults that shouldn’t be his and making himself unequipped to handle the ones that are while Jimmy refuses to handle the responsibilities he has because he wasn’t expecting the work that comes with them.

Not a lot to say but people forget that another thing the game comments on is prioritization of issues and responsibilities and how the guys fail at it in one way or another in the situation.

Ganondorf literally setting everything on fire in the name of ultimate agency and control, rejecting all compromise and all submission and abusing other people's loyalty and devotion to him and his own humanity in the name of that absolute agency... and ending up caged and controlled and chained and puppeteered over and over and over and over and over and--

[professorthaddeus]

okay yall didn't need to stab me in the heart like that with the Everlight scene, oh my fuck that was devastating

They hear Trist's family fleeing, terrified, screaming before the sending stone goes dead. Arcadia/Ioun tells her to work a miracle for herself, that the Everlight is a source of love and comfort and healing, that she can do something about this. Trist agrees. She means to work a miracle.

...and she goes to the malleus factorum. To be with her immortal family. Possibly leaving her mortal family to die.

This is devastating and I don't even know how to feel about it and it just......

fuck this story is so GOOD.

As a show of good faith toward the remaining Decepticons at the beginning of a new, united Cybertron, newly appointed Senators Bumblebee and Soundwave allowed Shatter and Dropkick to enlist into Autobot City's Defense Team.

These two turned out to be... not the best choices.

The city may have fallen to Insurgent Decepticon occupation had it not been for young recruits Hot Rod and Arcee's accidental interception of Shatter's communication with the fugitive Starscream.

To replace the errant Defense Team members, Springer and Blurr were reassigned from Iacon to Autobot City in their stead.

[quibbs126]

Do you think if Starscream kicked D-16’s ass (and also Sentinel’s forces didn’t show up like 5 minutes later), he could have been undoomed from the narrative?

I feel like that’s the encounter that solidified or at at least encouraged in D-16’s head that brute force and violence is the solution to his problems

I think people rarely try to tie together fragment sekais inbetween unit members considering how different they can be sometimes...however I think WxS's fragment sekais all have one singular theme.

Everyone of WxS's fragment sekai is about their true desire, not just the dreams they say out loud but the things they really truly desire in their hearts.

Nene - This one is easy, she wants to go to broadway, she wants to go all over the world and sing in theatre. Therefore her sekai is a huge city with posters.

Emu - She wants to see her grandfather again and have them discuss and execute new ideas for Pheonix Wonderland and their own home.

Rui - He wants to go further with WxS, to be able to achieve the impossible with them represented by the mini-WxS wanting to go to the moon.

Tsukasa - He wants to make people smile just like he made Saki smile, he wants to help those who are struggling.

In a way those all fit the characters but it's quite interesting to see how certain ones really differ from what the characters say their dreams are.

Nene's one is actually the most straightforward in terms of what she wants however with Rui, Tsukasa and even Emu the answer is a bit more complicated. You can see how what they want is influenced by their past experiences.
