also the fact that criston cole made such a HUGE deal about how he ~broke his oath~ by sleeping with rhaenyra to where he almost deleted himself rather than be a "whore" to the queen *gasp*. and flash forward years later to becoming exactly that - an oathbraker and the whore to the queen once again, is actually comedy gold

I found this scene in particular so odd and out of place in the new episode. Apart from the fact that Stolas has no right to be angry at Blitz for "not saving him" when Striker kidnapped him nor to be upset that he didn't tell him about Striker's attempt at shooting him. In Loo Loo Land he's perfectly capable of defending himself (even when he hired Blitz for protection!), why is he complaining that an imp, the lowest class on the hierarchy isn't protecting one of the highest?

In that scene Stolas accuses Blitz of not understanding "how much he cared about him", but has he forgotten that he was the one who couldn't stand up not to Asmodeous nor to the accusations of him "sleeping with an imp"?

This reaction shows the actual opposite of what he's telling Blitz he did.

I read that Stolas is supposedly also not aware of ~things~ but why is the narrative conveniently forgetting about his faults as well?

Onto the "apology tour" subject: I fail to understand why Blitz owes Stolas an apology. The only time he was shitty to him was actually in Ozzie's when he asked him on a (fake) date without telling him all the story. But they didn't talk about that not during that episode neither during Apology Tour. Is it because doing this would have forced the narrative to acknowledge that also Stolas was at fault during that episode?

All the other times they interacted (on and off screen, their chats don't really mean anything since it seems that's the way Blitz writes in general), Blitz was being good to him (not that he had any other choice, due to their society ranks and their deal).

To me, this looks like bad writing. But if someone has a different take, I'm happy to hear their interpretation.

#helluva boss critical #helluva boss criticism #anti stolitz #stolitz critical #vivziepop critical #my first post on this critical tag...... wow..... i guess i can't escape my destiny #but since i liked the series during s1 i hope to get proved wrong actually????#i read a post about apology tour on my feed from a person i know saying omg stolas is so meee #and im like omg i do not want to interact with this person never again stolas was kind of toxic and manipulative in that ep #his words reminded me of what my ex used to tell me #can't you see how much i show you that i love you????#then proceded not to even send a small message of congratulations when i majored in my study course #he said that congratulating me would have made him “deeply uncomfortable” because he didn't major yet #when stolas said “youre making me uncomfortable” i was like wow i am triggered lmao

the fact that you start the Tabris origin by literally stepping into your mother's shoes. the fact that what you get is a wedding outfit and your mother's worn boots, kept carefully intact for years, tucked away for this exact moment. the fact that you then immediately take the path she never could, leaving behind the alienage and the wedding and following Duncan (who would have recruited Adaia first, if not for baby!Tabris) to what ought to have been death.

And Then!! instead of fighting and falling as she did, cheating death and becoming the fighter she always intended you to be instead??? Reliving and simultaneously subverting the story of her life??

#okay no i'm not done actually #the way it feels like destiny for you to die on the alienage's behalf (soris is still in the dungeons in other origins when you get there)#and not only is that fate averted by duncan's presence #but what feels like the fate laid out for you by adaia's death is shifted too #this makes the ultimate sacrifice ending so much more awful imo #because it almost feels like a final destination-esque reckoning #you thought you escaped? no. this city will eat your bones and spit out a golden savior #who tabris actually *is* was always irrelevant and i am!!!#eating this #excuse me i am just writing baby arianwen and adaia right now and i am Feeling Things #i just!!! her boots!! is anyone listening? is this thing on?? her *boots*!#*buries face in crossed arms and sobs*#dixeram #dao #tabris origin #warden tabris #arianwen tabris #adaia tabris #oh shit oh god i just realized also #you free adaia from the dungeon in leliana's song right #and then in turn escape from the same dungeon #and when imprisoned at drakon's rise you break free from that too?#now it's tastier if you free yourself from the dungeon but #the possibility of leliana freeing you from there as well?? not the same dungeon but the same danger??? ouch. ouch!

Elenaks, the Scarab

I was going to color it before sharing but it's been hours already and I'm tired :(

Elenaks was a Devil Baron during the Dark Ages and earned his moniker for his habit of dropping the beetle-like Walker Tanks smack in the middle of human settlements during his raids. I even made his cape reminiscent to a beetle's elytra. He's a part of my personal project to flesh out the Salvation Elites.

I've fleshed out like 4 of them and now I'm just moving to designing. I love them all so so much. I've gaslit myself into believing they're canon and no one can stop me.

#destiny 2 #destiny #eliksni #destiny fanart #absolutely terrifying battle tactic tbh #like as a dark age human youre completely fucked in that scenario #you only have like 10 seconds before the minigun spins up and the main cannon is already trained on another home #even if you do escape the shanks it deploys are already tracking you down to finish the job

playing fallout 3 for the first time means oscillating between "this is a really fun game and is reminding me why i love fallout" and "this is the worst thing anybody has ever written"

#im not going in totally blind to be fair. i know the major story beats #this is your destiny i would not rob you of that etc etc. liam neeson dying etc etc #some of the minor details that im experiencing for myself tho are like. either pretty neat or abominably stupid #the family!! is DUMB!!#why cant you tell dad the entire vault went to shit after he left and u needed to escape with your life!!#why does amata kick you out again!! for a reference to fo1? yea real clever #i liked vault 106(?) tho. charon is an interesting companion #wish the game invited u to explore the morality of you having his contract but i can just chew on that myself ig #i will fix these things in my brain by imagining things very hard

Saint knew that for some it was written in the stars that no matter how hard they fought their road did not lead somewhere good.

chrobin are fascinating to me. upon hearing from his daughter from the future who lived through the events that robin is going to be mind controlled to kill him, shortly after seeing robin be mind controlled to hand over the magic item so everyone knows it's possible, chrom's response is 'ok well that's not gonna happen bc we love each other. hope that helps 👍' and he's right. he found a random amnesiac in a field and proceeded to blorbo them so hard it changed the course of fate and history. what the fuck

#pat.txt #i simply appreciate them #also on a more serious note i love that this is the case regardless of who you romance #its rare for stories about love breaking fate to be platonic. but in this one whether you romance chrom or not literally makes no differenc #whether he's your husband or your best friend does not matter. you still love each other enough to escape destiny and save the timeline #and i really appreciate that platonic and romantic love are treated as equally important and powerful here

And no matter how much I try; something comes in the way. Something pulls me back from what I yearn to do, as if I'm destined to not do it. As if the universe is giving me a sign. But I don't read signs. Or listen to them. But at least I know who to blame when everything turns to shit when I finally succeed.

Deep breath. Steeples fingers. It’s the way Arthur never needed to know Merlin was part of his destiny to be on his side over and OVER again

#merlin #they’re a true have your cake and eat it too ship #on the one side merlin who feels the full weight and pull of a destiny he can’t escape #that he chooses to run towards with open arms #on the other side Arthur #who has NO obligation to merlin except the one he feels and creates for himself #opens the forbidden ‘what if merlin….was good’ book #do you think about how often kilgarrah talks about them as EQUALS #two sides of the same coin. two souls meant to be one.#but merlin always ALWAYS ALWAYS casts himself as lesser #he sees their joint destiny as one where he is subservient to Arthur #less important #he is constantly willing to die for Arthur’s sake and he TRULY THINKS IT DOESN’T MATTER #merlin is constantly of the view that if he dies so Arthur can live that is *fulfilling their destiny*#what a cruel trick the end of their story is #but that’s my point kinda: merlin never actually understood their destiny #that’s why he fails the test and mordred survives #because he tells Arthur magic can never be allowed in Camelot bc he is too busy trying to save Arthur to save himself #and as a result he gets it wrong #if you look at the whole show but s5 especially as a tragedy the arc is absolutely classical #meanwhile Arthur never knows about FUCKING ANY OF THIS #and yet and yet and yet #call it destiny or love he still finds his partner in merlin. the other half of his soul.#he never needed to know what they were supposed to be to see what they could be

sams first arc and basically everything that happened to s3 being about azazel wanting him as a Leader vs sam in s14-15 forced to be a Leader (also people both telling him hes bad for the job AND that hes made for this) and all of his people then dying. no point to this except that i think its interesting

#cant escape your destiny/everything circling back to the beginning/failing what you were “chosen” for/people putting the pressure back on #-you after you thought you defeated that #etc etc etc #WHATEVER.

playing as Ayala's sister Saya in Destiny was a galaxy brained idea

i've decided that she would repaint her armor to be Black and Gold and Red (Justice and Vengeance and Honoring a Parent) while still keeping a hint of blue to honor Ayala and her armor color :)

#the backstory is that Saya in D2 is an AU in which she escapes capture by Raandall at Ayala's pleading #and at some point during her escape she encounters an Ahamkara (whether she realizes it or not)#and makes a desperate off-handed wish that she had the ability to save Ayala and her clan from the empire #the Ahamkara grants her wish and teleports her to the Destiny side of the universe #she is now surrounded by people with superhuman strength and supernatural powers that could help her take on the Empire and free her clan #but the inevitable trade-off as with Ahamkara wishes is that she has no way to get back and no way to utilize these resources :)#oc: Saya Ger'Mana #destiny #cassie plays destiny 2 #anyway yes i am insane and everything i touch turns to mandos #gosh it was quinn who gave me the idea for the Ahamkara wish wording: i grant your wish for sharper teeth O Warrior Mine #AU: Destiny Mandos #mando'ade

What if you two were brothers-in-law? What do you think about that?

Hector: Well, that's impossible on my part. I am an only child.

Isaac, narrowing his eyes: Mh? Hector marrying in my family...? *grin* And why would he, when I am right here?
