I hate how Super Bowl commercials/trailers these days are like “go to this link to see the full commercial”. Like, hello?? You want me to get out a secondary device?? And go out of my way?? To be advertised to?? You had my attention and you blew it. It’s not my fault you didn’t want to pay for more ad runtime.

I think that swords definitely talk to Mihawk and Zoro like not even just their sword but any sword of worth but especially the "cursed" ones. Like I mean full-sentences talking that only they can hear. And not the general hum of power or bloodlust that people like shanks hear -

And Shanks does not realize that Mihawk means he is having full conversations with his sword when he says Yoru talks to him. Until Mihawk translates something Gryphon says and Shanks is just like 'I'm sorry.....what???"

Shanks: What do you mean you can talk to swords Mihawk: I told you this 🙄 Shanks: I thought you meant like the general humming, Not that they were conversationalists! Mihawk: So did you think all this time I was just talking to myself? Shanks:....I thought it was a symptom of your lonely childhood.....

I think Zoro has to hold the sword to hear it speak but will eventually grow to be like Mihawk where he just has to be in the area to hear it.

y’all don’t know how proud i am… and tbh this feeling is rare 😳

also a (little) known fact: indonesia has no formal diplomatic relations with israel. indonesia was also among the first countries that recognize palestine’s independence and now both countries have very good and close relations. recently (as pictured) we’ve sent aids to gaza 🇵🇸

can you tell i’m suddenly feeling so patriotic? yo that’s my country!! 🦅🇮🇩❤️

Hugh Jackman as Bronson Peary, Eddie the Eagle (2016)

I’m actually not the same person after this movie?! Hello Hugh !!

[yoursincalendricalheresy]

Few things make me or annoyed than the argument that Héra is not-like-other-girls or has no personality.

My girl’s first scene in the whole movie is her going on a camping trip with the end goal of throwing a leg of mutton at an eagle. Which, according to her, her older brother told her would get her ripped limb from limb. Her first response to a rabid oliphant is ‘huh. I know what could eat that!’ and then stays to watch it happen. Freca is right, this girl is feral and I love her for it.

As for the not like other girls… where? That tired moment of ‘why do i have to wear a dress, i wish i could just wear pants’ never happens. Fréaláf comments not on her clothes as being unusual but the fact that she’s managed to keep them free of mud. She’s been trained to fight, sure, but that doesn’t seem unusual for women of the royal family. Besides, you will never convince me that she wasn’t the kind of little sibling that insisted on doing everything Háma did for the first ten years of her life. She doesn’t want to get married. That’s it. Full stop.

the only innocent people in read dead redemption 2 were rains fall and the wapiti tribe.

i tend to see much discourse surrounding who was really innocent in the gang, who deserved to be spared. and, while we can all come to the agreement that some indeed deserved better, we have a whole other group of people that not only got one of the worst ends of the rope but just like the characters dismissed them, many playing the game also do.

the ride with rains fall it’s such a bittersweet moment. “brutality and beauty are both around us, yet so often we’re unable to see past our own grievances…”

rains fall was innocent not in a naive way but in a way of a man who had seen destruction and brutality; from such scarring thing stemmed a more insightful understanding of human relations. his fault was peacefulness, but in order to get to it much emotional intelligence was needed; “do not mistake my strength for weakness”, he was naive in the sense he believed the oppressor to have a consciousness, which they very much lacked. eagle flies saw the latter, however missed the former. falling for the youthful spirit of a tiring fight that could not be won, because there was nothing the government was not willing to do to strip the natives from anything that kept them afloat. wee see it throughout the game, the killing of the bisons, the burning and stealing of their sacred objects, the abuse, the obstruction of the vaccines. the government were (and are) greedy for corruption, greedy for blood and eagle flies, while acknowledging it, failed to see the extent to which they could go just to get their hands tainted red. something that his father did see.

so then we got some of our main characters;

dutch, who saw the gap and took advantage of it.

arthur, who also saw the gap and while he tried to mend it he got in too late.

charles, who i believe was a balance between both viewpoints from rains falls and eagle flies.

the tragedy and reality contained in this set of missions is too grave. it is not bereft of humanity, much of it appeals to the player’s human side. they are moving and unjust, even more so knowing the ending of them.

furthermore, this missions gifts us something about arthur that helps paint him in a whole new light. the death of isaac. this missions gifts us some of the most merciless parallels between paternities, what was and could have been.

eagle flies dying after saving arthur was nothing but intentional. eagle flies dying partially because of a moral code, “you saved my life more than once… to give mine for yours… it’s as it should be” is not but a reflection of the same crafted sense of pride we will see later on being discussed. eagle flies holding up to die in his father’s arms is no coincidence.

dutch took advantage of them in some of the nastiest ways imaginable, he too sinned of perceiving the natives the same way the men, he looked down upon in this ‘new world’, saw them. his moral oratory to bill was nothing but a vice when we come to the realization that he was no different after all from the other tyrants.

they were innocent not because they didn’t knew how to fight or stand up for themselves, but because they were actively used as a weapon to weld a man’s unruly plan and were never seen by him and those who supported him as much more than that. which, yes, also happened with the other characters but this was a whole community, a community that was actively and consciously led to its demise without even the entirety of it being on board with such plan.

thing is, the gang were criminals of some kind, from petty to violent. none denounced what they did to get money because that’s how they had lived, they were all accomplices. while truth can still be held about a few being more innocent than others, perhaps because they didn’t know any better, they were all at fault of their own crimes. rains fall and his tribe were not, they were perceived as criminals but from a colonized standpoint. even when trying to resolve their issues diplomatically they were disregarded and still held in low esteem.

of course history plays a big part in this whole conversation to reach further understanding. red dead redemption 2 portrays, as i already mentioned, legit ways the government pushed the genocide of indigenous people.

so, having this extra layer of abuse painted gold in the name of ‘liberation’ imposed by dutch only deepens the wound. us as player know he does not hold them in high regard, arthur knows it. the innocence i’m referring to comes from the context within the story they’re placed at. so yes, they were innocent and remain truly some of the only irreproachable characters within the game.

Playing fire emblem 3 houses again.

Completely OBSSESSED with the black eagles again.

Truly the most discordant group of eccentric little weirdos to ever become found family.

Edelgard is out here tryna be normal but she cant help but drop ominous foreshadowing and insane questions.

Hubert is slinking around all sinister and trying to make everyone behave with threats and insults.

Ferdinand is also trying to make everyone behave but with long lectures on nobility. Which should make him and Hubert team up but no they're 20 second from killing each other because Ferdinand is in the worlds most intense one-sided rivalry with Edelgard.

Linhardt, a 'problem child' just wants to take naps, read books and have unmedicated ADHD. He's a rude lil shit who will just drop a 'goodbye' to end of conversation.

Caspar is somehow BFFs with Linhardt but all they do is bicker and have the 'my dad could beat up your dad' arguement. And Caspar just want to fight everything 90% of his supports are people saying 'Caspar, NO!" while he screams "CASPAR YES!"

Dorothea is doing her darnedest to flirt with everyone she meets (except Ferdie who she openly hates) like a true gold-digging bisexual disaster. And she keeps breaking into song.

Bernadetta is Bernadetta. Switches between running in fear and begging for mercy because she thinks everyone is trying to kill her. Wont come out of her room to the point where Caspar picks her up (not cool) and runs her out to see the gdamn sun for once in her life.

Petra is the only one who can be normal for more than 5 minutes and she's the youngest at FIFTEEN.

In conclusion they are terrible and no one can do it better worse.

None of the other houses come close

[troubled-bog-witch]

Moist and Sacharissa is such an underrated dynamic. Guy who can't shut up around reporters even though he really, really should + reporter who visits him whenever things at the office are too quiet. He has this NEED to banter with her that is completely divorced from their reality where he has NOTHING to gain from talking to her and she has everything to gain from listening to him ramble. This always without fail results in him talking himself into his most insane corner yet while the people around them are like oh those are the two scariest grins I've ever seen. She's like if his muse was also his bully. They're so funny please
