#echos nonsense

Had an argument with my two brothers about Logan’s gayness.

Brother one said: “Have you seen how many women he’s slept with?” And “He’s literally in love with Jean.”

Brother two only said: “He’s not gay.”

I then rebutted with the tension between him and Scott not only in the movies but in the comics as well. Brother one said “Yeah it was just stay away from my girl tension.”

Can you tell I’m the only queer in my household??

(Also as a note, I am a big multi shipper and I believe in a poly relationship between them all.)

Dropping this as an example and leaving out any names - so please don’t go and start an argument with these people or harass anyone. It’s not why I'm writing this, it gives them more attention, and there is no room for an actual conversation.

But, to my point! I am starting to believe that people online aren’t always shitheads on purpose. They are seriously lacking reading comprehension and that is absolutely terrifying.

In this one example the dev has not said any of the things they are being accused of. Let me break this down a bit.

Starting with the Bellara statement - the answer literally says Bellara is the most knowledgeable when it comes to elven magic EXCEPT compared to the elven gods. And even then, it’s prefaced by two things: 1. PROBABLY, which is used to show that it’s not a certainty and that there's a high chance there are others around the world (let’s saaay... people like Merrill), but they are not within reach so it's inconsequential. And 2. ‘Bellara ASSUMES’, which implies she doesn’t actually hold the totality of knowledge. The game shows again and again that she is in the process of learning through experimenting and nothing in this answer contradicts that. Additionally, literally during the game, Bellara has access to Solas’s ancient library at the Lighthouse AND an ancient archive of knowledge. Basically she has MANUALS on ancient magic from the very people that practiced it.

2. ‘Evanuris don’t understand magic’ - again the answer never said that. What it conveyed was that the Evanuris had access to magic and found ways to make it work for them. It was a tool, much like electricity: we didn’t invent it, it is a phenomenon we learnt to turn into power and use. The game kept reminding everyone again and again that the Evanuris weren’t gods, just powerful mages and Epler’s answer just reaffirmed that. (Plus this is something previous games have also hinted at repeatedly). The Elven Gods didn’t invent magic, and much like everyone else in Thedas, after they tapped into that force they started applying it in ways they were able to understand. Solas himself (the voice the devs created to tell a story) said that in so many ways throughout the game, so why are people acting like this is the first time they're hearing about it??

Anyway, this is just me taking the time to analyze one of the many absolutely mind-boggling takes that exist out there, and there’s… a lot of them. These people should just put the phone down and open a book.

Classic Zelda games: "So Link doesn't talk because he's meant to resemble you the player 🥰"

Echoes of Wisdom: "Link doesn't talk because his ability to speak was physically taken from him by a dark force"

(edit: since I need people to understand Link can't talk at all. It was forced out of him. It's not a choice. That part of him was consumed)

oh for fucks sake

no, seeing someone in their undies is not, in general, sexual harassment. someone alluding to the fact that they think they're sexy or like to fuck is not sexual harassment. making lewd jokes in public, in front of an audience, isn't harassment either.

Sex and nudity aren't harmful on principle. You can say you disagree with someone without accusing them of very serious crimes. Like, I get that people are upset about a dude's opinions, but ultimately, it's not that important, you can't stop people from Reading The Text Wrong, and it would be extremely cool if we could all just chill.

Echo: wtf people actually tell their crushes they like them? Narcissus: what else are you supposed to do? Echo: I die? lmao what kinda question...

[laughhardrunfastbekindsblog]

I've come across the opinion before that the personalities of the Clone Force 99 characters change somewhat between the TCW arc and "Aftermath."

While I don't share this opinion - I think their individual characterizations/personalities and group dynamics remain very consistent between the two stories - they DO seem to generally give off a more, shall we say, mature vibe in "Aftermath" and beyond.

I strongly headcanon that development between the two shows is ENTIRELY due to Echo's influence as a member of the squad for the 6(ish) months leading up to Bad Batch.

Because it's Echo.

it's honestly so insane how much of an impact I had on this fandom kamskksmdmdm

Like. wtf do you mean I'm not just a shadow moving about and my words actually have an effect on the space I inhabit????

WHAT MUSIC THE BAD BATCH WOULD LISTEN TO ACTUALLY THIS IS THE DEFINITIVE VERSION I'm kidding this is my very humble opinion. anyway let's go

Hunter — this man is the epitome of classic rock to me, (I know this is not a new take) but in much more of a AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Rainbow and Thin Lizzy way more than anything. I also see him being a lowkey Hendrix fan, and dabbles in some of the more psychedelic stuff from that time, a little Jefferson Airplane perhaps ('wish you were here' is his fav Pink Floyd album). I've been on the record saying that ZZ Top wrote 'sharp dressed man' about him and I stand by that, but I also see him rocking out to 'black night' by Deep Purple in particular

Wrecker — I see him getting on with most things, anything that gets him moving honestly, which is why I think particularly disco is his bag. man loves Donna Summer I'm telling you. I also see some acoustic guitar stuff there too: country, folk & singer songwriter stuff for when he's not up and dancing. big Johnny Cash guy from start to finish, every song. prefers the Creedence Clearwater Revival version of 'proud mary' (despite loving Tina Turner)

Crosshair — grunge. post-punk. garage rock revival. I'm talking The Strokes, Radiohead, Pixies. perhaps The Smiths thrown in there too. he likes Nirvana but he's not vocal about it because they're too 'popular' to be seen liking. he's pretentious but he keeps it to himself. 'boys don't cry' by The Cure hits home for him. secret Bowie fan but you couldn't torture that information out of him.

Tech— he will listen to anything that makes him think. he's analysing all the time. anything from Wagner to the Velvet Underground to math rock. in my minds eye he's a Dire Straits fan, and it's not so much a secret as he just doesn't let on. he appreciates the value of music in the same way as wrecker though, thus, one of his favourite songs is 'move on up' (the extended edition only) by Curtis Mayfield. the groove + the talent of the players + the interesting harmonies and rhythms, to him it's the perfect song. he's interested in the technological developments that brought in new genres and is fascinated by 80s music, as well as recording techniques like on 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band' (but it's not his favourite Beatles album, that would be 'Revolver' ofc)

Echo— a big fan of anything soulful, singers are the main appeal for him. he loves listening to a rich voice. Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone right up to Florence + the Machine, Hozier and Adele. also has a thing for britpop, and he's more in the camp of Blur over Oasis, but he likes both. musical theatre enjoyer on the downlow. 'before he cheats' by Carrie Underwood is his go to karaoke song, and he cleans up every time (he's the best singer, but Wrecker still gives him a run for his money)

[echoishere69]

Damian Wayne is literally my son. There’s nothing in this world that Damian could do that would make me hate him. No matter the version, in my head he is always 9-12 years old. He’s a little boy who is forced to act grown up, I’m going to give him the love he deserves.

Who wants to see more Rhage?

JP!Rhea actually makes more sense than Rhage in this scene :

It's not Billy existence that pisses her, it's their choice to "assist" the one who defiled the Holy Tomb and disgraced the fallen Nabatean - someone who assists a person who only sees Nabateans as tools to be weaponised cannot be allowed to "exercise" the power of Sothis, which is why, Rhea will end them to remove "THE" heart - not Billy's, but Sothis' - aka the way through which Billy "exercises" the power of the Progenitor God.

Rhage?

Says that Billy's presence, not their choice, but their existence, defiles the tomb and disgraces the Nabateans - no mention of Supreme Leader here, Rhage rages at u :'(

And the biggest change "take back the heart" to "take back your heart" - no "at the very last" mention, nope. Rhage immediately passes judgment and wants to steal Billy's heart - it's still puzzling for someone who didn't play SS or VW, but imo it feels like it's more meant as a death threat, whereas Rhea is more less thinking out loud how to remove Sothis' power from Billy and how to "make up" for that blunder she did (aka, allowing someone who would make such choices to wield Sothis' powers) "at the very least", removing the crest stone should work, right?

(it always involves Billy's death, but fwiw, Rhea doesn't seem as concerned as Rhage about Billy's death, she wants to recover Sothis' powers more than kill Billy)

"Pat, why Supreme Leader hates them? Is it because they're not humans?"

"N-No, it's because they're monsters! Totally in the biological sense, but also, and trust me on this, through their actions!"

"So it's not because their ears are pointy?"

"Nope!"

ALTRAVIOLET, MAKE A TFP SEQUAL

And my LIFE

Is yOURRSSS

(no pressure tho, i saw a post in the Goobers going back i was like 😮👁️👁️)

[I don't know what "i saw a post in the Goobers going back" means... o.o]

hiiiiiiii anon!

lol ok I can see why you say that. and that's the short answer. but it's 5am and I don't want to go to work, so here are some more words about this subject:

I have a lot of thoughts about a sequel, most of them being, "I will not be able to recapture the exact flavor of intense emotional change in Soundwave + slow burn that everyone enjoyed, because SW has already changed and the slow burn is done." SW is in a happy place now. a sequel written in the same vein as the original (with emotional intensity, dire stakes, character growth and intricate connections) would require putting him in a bad place, and him overcoming it, with consequences. and yeah, maybe people would want to read that, but consider: are you sure??? do you know what I could do to him????

lol

I get it, and I would never say never. but if you want a true TEG 2.0, I think it would hurt to read, and it wouldn't have as happy an ending as TEG. however. however. if I think of something beyond "regular adventure they could go on" (which like, I feel like you want something deeper than that), I'll do it. a regular adventure or a series of little slice of life scenes are like. yeah. I could do that. but

a sequel to TEG deserves to be a sequel to TEG, ya know?

but! consider. however. I have started a new Rodimus/Soundwave fic, in a fanon continuity, which means I've made up EVERYTHING about the world. it doesn't rely much on any canon. does that sound appealing at all? ;A; if you happened to be someone who read TEG without reading MTMTE, it'd feel the same: you'd be introduced to the world through the fic. there isn't anything extraneous to it to rely on

that's me practicing moving from fic to original work

I'd really love to be able to write fiction for a living, which is like, a zillion to one chance. but I'm tired of working. I just wanna write. which means: I have to write. which means: I have to use my limited free time to write what's going to get me to my goal. which means: no TEG sequel planned. which means: never say never. but also. I have a lot of other fics. would you like to give them a try? would you give my new fic a try? or do you just want TEG 2.0?

which, if you do, I get it. but hopefully also you get where I'm coming from

ultimately, you wanting more of my writing is a huge compliment, so thank you :) I hope the tone of my reply hasn't felt dismissive or mean or anything. the goal was just to be very truthful, since I'm sure you're not the only one interested in a sequel

as always, no matter what, thanks for reading ✨

I genuinely love Zelda's emotes in EOW. My favorite has got to be her sad face

Watching her shiver from the cold and fan herself from the heat brought me back to Ocarina of Time. I know BOTW/TOTK also has it but her mannerisms felt more like how Ocarina of Time Link's emotes were. My favorite detail with OoT Link was him sneezing from the cold if you left him idle for long enough. They didn't have to add that but they did. It's also like how you can make Link slip and fall on ice in Windwaker. I love little details like that
