[chaoswillcalmusdown]

sometimes my app forcibly throws me into the 'for you' side of tumblr and like. idk why so many posts about season 3 are phrased as 'why does claire get to fuck carmy but syd doesnt?' 'why does everyone get to be happy but syd doesn't'. there's such a vitriol specifically directed towards the fact that syd is not happy in the narrative currently. sorry, remind me who are these everyones who are happy on this television show? is carmy happy? is richie? is fak? is marcus?

[embraceyourdestiny]

From Travis's perspective, Laura is a legal adult (or only a few months shy, seeing as she and Max are applying to colleges and allowed to make a 500+ mile roadtrip unsupervised) who deliberately ignored his attempt to keep her safe (leading to him having to deal with the fallout of putting a bullet in his brother), shot him, and then murdered an innocent child while trying to kill a different member of his family. All to release her boyfriend from a curse he wouldn't have had, if they'd done as Travis told them two months ago.

Not saying that I think he was justified in killing her, just that I can see why he snapped, especially since violence is what he grew up with.

Ehhhhhhhhh I don’t know. That’s definitely his perspective and makes sense in a point A to point B perspective but. He hated his family (even if he did love them), he was intentionally fucking with max and Laura, lying, and kidnapped them. Truth be told there’s not “right” person in this situation, the entire thing is a cluster fuck and complicated on purpose. Still, Laura is justified. knowing your attacker’s sob story doesn’t suddenly magically make it okay. Not that you’re saying that, I just mean that regardless with or without the info what he did was fucked up and it’s crazy that he was rageful at her. He also planned to kill her when she escaped, before the actual showdown and murder when she was just a victim. Travis isn’t a hero even in his best ending. To be honest, Laura isn’t really either. No one “wins” in the quarry. You just gotta do what you can to survive. In a sense, that’s what Travis did too. She was a threat to his family. There’s no excuse for anyone’s actions, the bottom line of the story is honestly, what would you do to survive? What’s your justification for all this dark shit in this ugly world? All the characters have something to live with even if they all live. So, is your family’s life more important, or the life of innocents? That’s why Travis can either kill his entire family or not. He decides based on Laura’s actions if it’s all worth it and with your play you can decide no it’s not, or yes it is. The competing perspectives is what makes the quarry so cool and complicated. It’s truly just a big fuck up all the way around and I love it so much. Still think it’s ridiculous to murder someone over all that though lol. There’s only a hand full of scenarios where you can actively choose to murder someone in the quarry and I don’t think that’s for naught and the severity and horror of cold blooded murder (from humans and from not) is definitely a tool used in the quarry’s narrative. Idk. The quarry’s just cool man.

Also idk if “legal adult” is really on anyone’s minds outside of the minds of people on tumblr, in the real world you’re either a kid or an adult to a lot of people and the fact Travis calls her a stupid girl I think it’s clear he sees her as a kid and that’s why they develop a kinship because she, like many of the people Travis failed, should be protected from his family. (Travis has a lot of guilt regardless of how the story goes down and that plays into it very much honestly)

And idk. I do feel like this is blaming Laura wayyyy too hard. Just like Jacob laura had no way knowing this was gonna happen. Like Laura points out Travis’ fault is he isn’t forthcoming with information and that puts them all at jeopardy (*sits Laura down to show max’s transformation, Laura: jeez! You could just said…, by this point Laura is a little more aware of what’s going on and does see Travis’ kind potential and that he’s not just doing this out of malice). It’s a crazy situation honestly but he easily could’ve convinced max and Laura “hey this shit is fucked up and you have no idea what you’ve stepped in” and they could a worked together. (At least explain it after a couple weeks. Two months? WTF??) Like, he does, kinda, but he’s so vague even after narratively we the audience know what’s going on that if you were Laura in the situation you wouldn’t just be trusting this fucking guy that kidnapped you ya know? He is dangerous. Laura doesn’t know what he’s gonna do. It makes complete sense how hostile you can play her. But in my head adding all that up, it’s crazy he wanted to kill her because she escaped. Like I know she shot him (lol) but he comes back perfectly fine in chapter 9 so whys he butthurt lmao 😭 I’m sure there’s some stuff missing because of the game’s cuts but still like I said he decides to kill her after escaping and I think he’s a little tender over it considering he kidnapped them and is in some way responsible for max getting bit because he didn’t warn them and even if he had warned them properly he’s still at fault for pussyfooting with his family’s curse which Constance calls him out for.

Ya know why I mean?

Travis is a flawed guy. Period. He’s interesting. It’s why so many people like him. I think it’s fair to be like lmao about him sometimes

Edit: Oh I kinda missed the important part that the context to get Travis to kill you is to simply play Laura resistant and fierce to her attacker and Travis decides this bitch is annoying and hates her THAT bad over it , it’s so petty it’s funny honestly 😭

[obsidianghoul]

randomly bc that’s what i do, also no 40s??

12, 22, 58, 69

idk where the 40s disappeared to

12: Have you ever stayed up 48 hours?

yeah, a few times lmao. sleep is hard sometimes

22: Do you want to have kids? How many?

Nah, I can barely handle animals let alone a human child

58: Favourite weather?

Chilly fall days and clear nights. I love the crisp air and the chill, how everything looks as the sun filters through changing leaves. its cozy.

69: Do you believe in soulmates?

Ehhhhhhhhh kinda not really? I'm not sure tbh. I'd like to, I think.

[americankimchi]

i played the heretic route in rogue trader and it's very fun but be warned you will lose some companions at a certain point cause they disagree with your evil actions lol

i wish the game had options where you're lying bc i'd love to be like (DECEPTION) yes, of course i'll help you out!!! come onto my ship where i will definitely help you free of charge <33

bc that's what my character would say at the time to get people to do what we want but like. idk. i guess the outcome is the same but it makes me a little.... ehhhhhhhhh

[thealtofvalleyxdoodles]

SUUUUPER LATE IKIK AND IDK WHAT YOUVE ANSWERED OR NOT FROM THAT ASK GAME YOU REBLOGGED FROM ME BUT

woah caps lock was on oops. Not changing it

6, 12, 16, 77?

OKAY HOMIE I CANT FIND THE ONE YOUR TALKING ABT BUT I DID FINE ANOTHER ONE I REBLOGGED- (also, im doing Monster AU!Ruby bc that's been on the brain for a HOT second now lmao-)

note for the road ahead: Ruby is a jaguar hybrid (was finna make her a siren but then i was like NO. BIG CAT. so yeah. welcome to my brain and her fuckass thots-), Soap is (unoriginally) a werewolf, Ghost is a Siren who had his powers taken away by Roba (i am NOT sorry), Roach is a bug-shifter (he can change into all kinds of bugs-), Farah is a lioness hybrid, Alex is a Fae, Gaz is a Fairy, and Laswell is a selfaware android, oh and Price is a minitour and Nikolai is a Vampire bc i say so.

NOW LESS GET IT-

warnings: mentions of poison,

6. Does your OC know magic? Were they born with magical ability or did they train to acquire it? What is their favorite type of magic? Least favorite?

EhHhHhHhHh-not really-i mean...she's semi-immune to Spine's poison (he's a diamondback rattlesnake hybrid-) but she can still get severely sick from too high of a dose from it.

and well, kinda sorta given her breed but, she's a real fast swimmer. (not as fast as Ghost tho-) that and her teeth are a lot stronger (not as strong as soaps or as Farah's but yeah-)

12. Is your OC cynical or optimistic? Who or what shaped their outlook on life?

She's pretty "glass half full" tbh (she has to be, she's a mom and the smallest thing in 141-) but uhm, fair warning, she has days where her mood just spikes and then dips and the spikes up again and then all of a sudden her day's ruined and she's the scariest thing Soap has ever laid eyes on-

16. How does your OC make money? Do they have a respectible profession or work a series of odd jobs? Are they a criminal? Or do they get creative in the pursuit of coin?

....Special Forces??? WAS THAT AN ACTUAL QUESTION GUYS-

SHE WORKS FOR THE FUCKING S.A. FUCKING S.

ahem i mean, yes she has a perfectly legal job that pays her very well and not bc she scares the shit outta her buff ass boss out on the feild.

AND WHAT WAS 77???? IF YOU FIND THE ASK GAME I REBLOGGED FROM YOU TAG ME AND ILL DO ANOTHER VERSION OF THIS-

[lockandkeyhyena]

think it's just important to say that the tricks up my sleeve parts were done for two years+ before the map released. Both pumpkin and neo were exposed long before now, and eighth had more than enough time to replace them/lh

in slight fairness, they claim to block people who write and spread callouts. which is ehhhhhhhhh…..? idk how to feel about that. i understand the impulse but at the same time you don’t get to be shitty about people pointing out you have shitty people in your map.

Okay so. Been pondering this metaphor for a while now (almost two years) of pronouns being like clothes to me

He/him = wrong size + not particularly comfy + don't like the style, can wear in a pinch if need be and like. I'm not gonna make a fuss about it lol but they aren't right

They/them = like oversized pyjamas. wrong size for me but very comfy. Wouldn't necessarily wear out an about in public bc they don't fit me properly [wouldn't introduce myself with them irl] but am comfy enough being called them if people want to (especially on the internet)

She/her = like a uniform. technically fits me correctly and is socially acceptable to wear out but not always the comfiest to actually wear [sometimes I hear people call me she irl and go ehhhhhhhhh]. Of all the options these are the most suitable for everyday use but they're not what I would choose to wear. What would I choose? Idk rn brain can only comprehend these three feel free to suggest more and I shall compare them to clothing/hj

*also obligatory piss-on-the-poor disclaimer: this is MY brains metaphor for how I feel about these pronouns lol. it's not me going "they/them isn't suitable to use in public" or anything like that this is literally just how my brain has been categorising pronouns for a few years an I wanted to share in case anyone else feels the same/finds this way of thinking about it useful. Everyone feels different ab different clothes anyway so like even on that front it's hardly universal.

Anyway. yeah. clothes metaphor. hope it resonates w some of you at least lmao

a few new ppl have decided to join us here while I was gone this is your reminder that if you don't have an age in your bio/pinned post or linked anywhere on your blog, I will block you

I'm gonna start blocking this sunday so you still have time to make a change

other housekeeping: I'm gonna be changing stuff around on the blog most likely idk when how or what exactly but I made this layout when I started the blog and it's ehhhhhhhhh at best

[saltysatellite804]

I dont really know how I feel about cfyow at this point. Idk how canon it is but it just sort of. Hm. I cant put my finger on what's bothering me with it.

I think at this point pushing the story past TYBW maybe wasn't that great? Idk. It's like all these loose ends are awkwardly being crammed together. And the villains are very mustache twirly. They're constantly mentioning earlier plot points like we need to be reminded of them. Maybe some people do? I think its annoying me how the story is just as passive to the corruption as before. I was expecting...idk more criticism of that?

Ehhhhhhhhh.

I feel very ehhhh about it, overall.
