AARON: I mean, like you kill a Magma Titan and take its heart. You saved, you know, thousands and thousands of starving people. Like, maybe that's worth it. Maybe you make that trade, or maybe, maybe it's wrong. No matter, there's no way to put a you know—it's trolley problems, right? It's like, you know...

KUNO: Yeah, it's a trolley problem.

AARON:  But yeah, I think you're—you're right in characterizing it as it's certainly a more complex, you know, justification that is required to pursue dark magic. And there are some people who would not accept that justification. But what's interesting about it is, you know, the questions, there are questions, you can you can come out on either side of it. You know, there are cases, you know, would Rayla have died if Callum hadn’t used dark magic? Yeah. I think she would have.  So did he have to? Are we thankful that he did? Thank goodness—well yes, we love Rayla! Well of course we needed him to do that. You know what I mean? Then there’s some kind of morality that sometimes is based on your attachment. Now if you said, should Callum use dark magic to save one person, knowing that he'll—he may be corrupted for the long term and his potential to be, you know, a hero in the future may be altered and his potential to be manipulated or you know, go down the wrong path, all that risk to save one person? Well, now you might say, “Oh no he shouldn’t—for one person?” But then if I go, “But it was Rayla!” then you go “Oh no, [laughs] yeah, he needs to do it!” [KUNO laughs] So I don’t know. But it’s also even that, right? It comes down to “well, in that moment, what did he do?” Well in that moment, he took like a—I-I think the ingredient is a piece of a snake rattle—

KUNO: Or something. Yeah, something like that.

AARON: “He didn’t even kill it, it was already dead, it was already dead man, what did he do?” Well, I don’t know. He supported the system, so it is complex. It’s worth arguing about, a bit. There’s not a clear right or wrong. There are risks. There are long term consequences. Those are baked into it. But I don't know. When—when it’s your Mom in trouble, what do you do? You do the dark magic! You save Mom, right? I do.

[stew-chan]

yay my watching the first matrix too many times came in handy tonight :) answered a life line question for my board game friends during nerd trivia night :)

[krockat]

lol. sooo it seems my followers list is also bugged now,,,, not just my following list..?

yeaaa.... it's staying at the same amount - in the number, visually, on mobile... meanwhile even though i am blocking bot followers - it doesn't go up or down, even when i reload and leave, lol

my following list has been broken for Years. i have hit its prostrate several times and so good and deep it couldn't think no more and could no longer function.

but that's okay. it doesn't need to be able to think. heck, i can't think a lot of the time either!

but it does get a little bit confusing at times, for sure, hmm? and frustrating?

like being unable to follow new people sometimes, but only sometimes, and sometimes totally being able to Without having to do any unfollowing.... it's uh.

it leads to confusion ':D

aahh.. my best era was when i was definetely and also Visually past the following limit. i remember sitting there at 5013 and being smug as a bug who had fugged.

and alive!!! i felt so alive!!

which some bugs don't after they have fucked.

[galaxythixf]

@ofluminance said: " hey shiki!!! " smiling bright, rebecca heads towards him, waving. " wanna keep practicing your aim with some more games? i think we both could use the practice! it might even make a cool video! whaddya say?! " / :))))

"Yeah!!" His answer comes with zero hesitation and a triumphant fist to add to his already rampant enthusiasm. "I'm still not used to aiming with my Gravity Cannon." As if she needed it he offers a lazy, visual demonstration with a balled fist shaken back and forth with very little effort. "Maybe I should start dual wielding too! Two gravity cannons are way better than one!"

Friendly reminder that Lightning McQueen did NOT retire from racing in Cars 3. He only took time off to be Cruz's crew chief until her rookie season was over.

He clearly said after the final race was over, that he wanted to keep racing, since he has a choice now that Sterling is out of the picture thanks to Tex buying Rust-eze.

And when he and Mater meet up with Cruz in Cars on the Road, he says to her that they're both racers now.

Because like McQueen said, HE decides when he's done.

[curse-of-dming-strahd]

okay since I'm running a PG-13 Curse of Strahd game in which my players specifically asked for it to not be too scary, and this party of ex-burglars and thieves responded really well to their old boss being the one who sent them to Barovia, I'm gonna go full-speed ahead on a pretty big tone change

which is that instead of this campaign being a horror crawl

I'm gonna try to frame Curse of Strahd as a giant heist mission

THEIR MISSION (should they choose to accept it):

Steal three magic artifacts out from under the noses of Strahd's associates. The first is in a hidden safe in the Abbey, the second they'll have to sneak out past Baba Lysaga, and the third is in a high-security treasure vault deep in the Amber Temple.

Assemble a crew. They'll meet many people in Barovia but there are two fated companions who'll be of the most help: Pidlwick II has intimate knowledge of the layout of the castle. Ez has experience dealing with supernatural bullshit and can advise on how to get past all of Strahd's goons.

Case the joint. Somehow they need to get invited into Strahd's castle so that they can poke around, learn about his defenses, plan their entry and exit, and figure out how to best dismantle his entire operation from the inside without him catching wise to their plan.

Then, once the final plan is in place, they strike.

And then idk they kick his ass, take over his castle, take all his money, steal his carriage, and ride off into the sunset.

Rusty is mater in this AU teehee

So i think that this AU’s “rusty cars” is steam engines, and she is currently sponsored by “steam-ees” (play on rust-eze ig lol), so she’s sponsored by steam trains, her future bff is a steam train, AND her future pit crew chief is a steam train,,,,, its all fitting together so so perfectly……… hggggg

[mittch22]

Oh boy, its trivia time. Lightning McQueen wanted to be a part of Chick Hicks' racing team before he joined Rust-eze. There could be so many story branches off of this, holy shit. Like, man wanted to race in Chick's place. Did he just think that Chick would bugger off and let him? Wat???

Oh! And not to mention he went to high school and drama club with one of his pit crew members, Bruiser Bukowski.

Kingdom Hearts IV predictions: Radiator Springs/Dinoco Rust-eze Racing Center/Fireball Beach/Thunder Hollow/Thomasville/Florida International Speedway (Cars)

Takes place after Cars 3.

Is visited by Sora, who enters the world as a 2017 Nissan 370Z before visits to Luigi’s Casa Della Tires and Ramone’s House of Body Art end with him modified into a next-gen race car sponsored by Dinoco (with Tex’s blessing) and with Cruz’s number.

It isn’t combat based. Missions include keeping up with McQueen’s top speed by racing down Radiator Springs’ main street, learning how to turn right to go left at Willy’s Butte, driving backwards with Mater, keeping up with Cruz’s top speed on Fireball Beach, avoiding pushy competitors with the Thunder Hollow challengers, and practicing with Cruz at Thomasville, culminating in the Piston Cup race at Florida International Speedway, where the objective is to win against Jackson Storm.

It’s set during Cruz’s first Piston Cup racing season, so McQueen still has Doc’s colors and spends the Florida race as Sora’s crew chief. Also, Ramone wears his “Saludos Amigos” body paint from the epilogue of Cars 3.

As Sora finishes his story, Mater is certainly unhappy with Xehanort’s actions forcing Sora’s hand. “That dad-gum Xehanort”, he says angrily. Extra points if Sora doesn’t get to the part where Xehanort is dead, then Sarge gets in his face and demands him to teach Xehanort a lesson when he gets back in a militaristic manner. “Is that understood,” Sarge yells. Then Sora tries to correct him, but gets cut off and asked again, “Is that understood,” and has to respond, “Sir, yes, sir!”

Of course, during the top speed races, Luigi is the one to signal the race to begin. In the Radiator Springs race, Sora’s top speed is tracked by Sheriff’s speed radar, and on Fireball Beach, it’s via Cruz’s personal assistant, Hamilton.

If you fail the “Turn Right to go Left” mission, Sora goes flying into the bed of cacti, and Mater fishes him out.

“I don’t like to toot my own horn, but…” (HONKS TWICE) “Toot my own horn. That’s funny right there.” - Sir Tow Mater, beginning his backwards driving lesson, 2017

Cars 2 elements will be here. Heck, maybe Mater can’t be present most for the training because he’s busy with Finn and Holley. After all, does he still owe Holley a first date?

I wanted the player character in this world to be Kairi just so Storm can feel the embarrassment of losing to not one, but two “costume girls”.

The Piston Cup race is announced as a 500-lap race, but no game developer is that malicious to force the player to race 500 laps around an oval, so they’d take after the first Cars game and make it twelve laps with the sun slowly lowering throughout the race.

How the Eldarya men would look based on my headcanons Pt. 1

I don't know if anyone remembers but last year I made a couple of "redesigns" of Valkyon y Nevra (well technically also Ez but I'm always posting him lol), well I decided to revisit those designs and also do one for Leiftan and Lance just to have the whole crew of TO (They are just going to be busts btw, I don't have enough energy nor time to make a full body for each character 😔)

I'm going to make individual posts for each guy where I will explain a little bit my design choices and all of that. So let's start :D

Ezarel

There you have my design for Ezarel 🤲🏼🩵 Most of you probably have already seen him since I can't stop drawing him orz

Let's talk a little about his design.

The most noticeable changes I made were to his hair. I decided to change his hair color to a darker shade and also changed his hairstyle. I gave him different bangs and also made him have a high ponytail as his regular hairstyle instead of his original low ponytail.

I also gave him freckles. I headcanon Ez to have very sensitive skin, so the moment he steps out in the sun freckles start to appear across his face, ears and shoulders. And he HATES it. Elves are seen as these very beautiful and flawless creatures and in Ez's eyes he sees his freckles as flaws.

As a more minor detail, I gave Ezarel some gold jewelry because he looks very pretty with it.

[raayllum]

stop the episode is making me lose my mind ok

it will never not be funny to me the way rayllum has literally taken on a life of its own. like between aaron being like "we didn't want this they just made it happen somehow idk" and the writers being like "we don't even ship them they're teenagers" despite the fact that they are the ones writing them (or so you think) to be digustingly in love. i'm fully convinced that the spirit of rayllum has possessed the entire cast and crew and it's amazing

"he needs to be murdered, she needs to learn how to murder someone, they're perfect." HUHU HUH HUHA WHAT MR EHASZ SIR HUH REPEAT THAT WHAHT

terry arc + pure of heart trope??? consider me gagged

you mentioning ez/runaan conflict and aaron just being "THATS A VERY INTERESTING QUESTION 😈😈"

aaron ehasz fanboying over you???? as he should. as he should

Listen it was so fun and I've always wondered that about Rayllum for a Long time (like 4+ years) so getting to finally know (within reason, who knows about the story boarders / animators sneaking stuff in) is immensely satisfying.

Between "he needs to be murdered, she needs to learn how to murder someone" & "we'll see [Rayla's conflict between love & duty" manifest again" from another interview it's like. yeah dark magic + possession plot line in s7 let's goo

"True Heart" is super intriguing as an episode title since we've seen pure of heart be referenced (hi s3 Amaya) and I could see any of the trio having it, but I'm Pumped for the Terry focus and confirmation he's gonna have a bit more outright inner turmoil next season over his relationship to Claudia vs what he thinks is Right. Makes me nervous it's spell ingredient adjacent but maybe not (TDP loves its "hearts as ingredients/symbols" in particular after all, I wonder if we'll see why Laurelion got his heart stabbed/pierced)

And listen I was not prepared aah!! Aaron has always been gracious/appreciative over twitter and we'd talked a bit in DMs where he'd been very kind (stuff like character analysis from this video being "spot on") but I was of course floored and very flustered, it was incredibly kind and like getting to write/analyze stuff is its own reward, but knowing that my love/appreciation for the show is also seen and appreciated in turn is a very positive feedback loop that is very validating/affirming too of course! ("I was a little bit intimidated" will always live in my head rent free bc What The Fuck truly aaah from the bottom of my heart forever & ever)

Down in the Wicked Depths Below

Woe to the man

The dark-eyed sailor

Ship’s adrift

And the sea’s his jailor

Drag him down

Down, down, down

Down in the wicked depths below

Woe to the man

The dark-eyed sailor

Ship’s adrift

And the sea’s his jailor

Drag him down

Down, down, down

Down in the wicked depths below

Lost at sea, the sailor cried

I will not die

The sea shall bow to me

“That was quite a display,” Finnegrin said as he rummaged through the piles of assorted junk on his desk. His gruff voice drowning out the singing voices of the crew on deck. “All that talk about how love makes you stronger, but the second you see that elf girl in pain, you completely lost yourself.”

Callum looked away.

The tidebound captain wasn’t wrong. Seeing Rayla like that – writhing and screaming in pain, skin turning blue as if she were already dead – it did something to him. Just like it always did something to him when he thought he’d lost her.

That spell had simultaneously caused a pain in Callum that was so deep that he couldn’t think or see straight. He’d forgotten any spells or tricks that could have helped him and instead did the only thing he could think of.

It had at least been a solid hit – something his younger self would be in awe of for several reasons. A lot of good it had done him though.

At that moment, Callum caught sight of Bait’s empty cage and for a terrible, brief second, thought perhaps the little guy had already been cast into the depths. However, Finnegrin stepped aside and revealed the glow toad had been crammed into another smaller cage.

“What are you doing?” Callum asked, feeling confident he already knew the answer.

“Oh, don’t worry. The cage is for his protection,” the captain replied with a smug smile. “This way, he lures us a leviathan but doesn’t get eaten.”

He crossed the room and stood before Callum, looking down at him with the black-hearted confidence of a man who had spilled more than his fair share of blood. “The one getting thrown into the sea serpent’s hungry mouth is your elf girl.”

He may as well have been strapped to an anchor and dropped into the sea for how quickly Callum became submerged in the crushing weight of dread and panic. He struggled against the chains that bound him to the post, but there was no give.

He couldn’t lose Rayla. Not again. Not ever again.

“No, no wait!” The words leapt from his tongue without his consent. “A dying breath, blood filled with hatred, and a unicorn horn. That’s the dark magic you want. Just…just let her go.”

They could deal with the ramifications. They would find a way to protect Domina Profundis, but Callum had to protect Rayla first.

A beat passed as Finnegrin paused in the doorway before he began to click his tongue in disappointment like a parent about to scold their child. “Oh, my poor lad,” he said. “That deal was no longer on the table.” He chuckled, pulling the door open and quickly disappearing through it, leaving Callum alone as he sunk even deeper into despair.

“No!” He called out to no avail. “No!”

Again he struggled and again the chains around his wrists did not budge.

Hot tears began cutting their way down his cheeks. This was really it. Rayla would die and a piece of him would die right alongside her. They had only just begun to truly mend their relationship. The last few weeks began replaying in Callum’s mind

Staying in his and Ez’s old, adjoining rooms had been his idea. After Umber Tor, he’d shed the last piece of the already-cracked and crumbling armor he’d built around his heart over the last two years. He’d opened himself back up to her, and it was wonderful. They’d often stayed up late during those nights, fretting over Ezran and the others or just talking like they used to.

Then they’d traveled to Lux Aurea, retracing the steps they’d taken together on that first world-changing journey. The route had been easier this time. There was no dragon egg to hide and protect, no duplicitous aid from Soren and Claudia, and no race to outrun an impending battle with Viren’s corrupted army.

And with the border open, the route itself had become more traveled, leading to amenities like the inn they’d stayed at. Seeing Rayla happy and at peace that night had filled Callum’s heart in a way it hadn’t been in two years. He’d wanted to kiss her again, to hold her and tell her he loved her.

Now he desperately wished he had.

He could hear shouts and thuds from above him and his heart began to pound. He didn’t have much time.

Looking around for something, anything he could use to free himself, Callum spotted it. The slug Finnegrin had offered as a dark magic conduit.

No. No he couldn’t. He wouldn’t.

He’d sworn to himself that he would never do dark magic again. It wasn’t him. It wasn’t who he wanted to be. He’d vowed to write his own destiny.

…But what would that destiny look like without Rayla?

The question seared his heart like a brand because he knew the answer immediately. Without Rayla, he had no destiny. If he allowed her to die when there was something, anything , he could have done to save her, the anguish would fester in his body like a blight and consume him from the inside out.

He would do anything for her.

Anything.

Pulling against the chains one last time, Callum reached out and grabbed the slug.

~

The sunrise was beautiful, almost mockingly so after all that had happened the night before.

Callum sat at the base of the mast, feeling no modicum of triumph or elation at their victory. He felt like a liar, a sham. He was the first human mage to do primal magic and still he’d resorted to dark magic.

He thought he was better than this. But was he? Was he any better than Viren or Claudia if he would dirty his hands with the lives of innocent creatures if pushed far enough?

“So…” Came a voice through the fog. “Two primal sources? Now you’re just getting greedy, mister mage.”

Callum saw Rayla as she sat down next to him, felt the warmth of her living, breathing body, but he didn’t feel any less ashamed. If she knew what he’d done to save her, she’d be disgusted and furious, as she should be.

“Callum, are you okay?”

Was he? He let the question sink deep before nodding his head and letting his eyes finally unfocus from the abyss he’d been staring into.

“Yeah,” he said, pulling a smile up along with him. “Yeah, I’m okay. I am.”

He looked at Rayla as she smiled back at him, his heart feeling full and complete as she brought a hand up to his cheek.

“I’m glad,” she said softly.

She pulled him into a hug and Callum felt guilt wrap itself around him along with her arms. Below them, somewhere in the guts of the hull, two dark magic snakes now slithered and slunk because he’d brought them to life.

He’d broken his oath, and as Rayla sighed contentedly, holding Callum like she had when they’d first fallen in love, he knew that he would do it again in a heartbeat to save her.

And that’s what scared him more than anything.

[500album]

Joni Mitchell - Blue (1971)

Popkulturális referenciáim Joni Mitchell-hez kapcsolódóan:

Janet Jackson Got 'Til It's Gone-jában Q-Tip azt mondja, hogy Joni Mitchell never lies, és azért mondja ezt, mert egyrészt minden bizonnyal így van, másrészt meg Mitchell Big Yellow Taxi című számából vették hozzá a hangmintát, ami kb. a refrén. (Amúgy ennek a Jackson számnak a sztorija is megérne egy külön posztot, de most nem ezért vagyunk itt.)

Az Igazából szerelemben Emma Thompson egy Joni Mitchell CD-t kap karácsonyra Alan Rickmantől, és így derül ki számára, hogy a férje megcsalja, ami az egyik legheartbreakingebb jelenet ever (a film pedig a legjobb karácsonyi film ever, period.), amihez sokat hozzátesz a Both Sides Now című dal is. Persze, hogy megnéztem, persze, hogy sírtam.

A Counting Crows szintén feldolgozta a Big Yellow Taxit, Vanessa Carltonnal közösen, akinek csak egy kis dúdolgatás meg vokálozás jutott a dalban, és ezzel ki is pipálta minden idők egyik legértelmetlenebb featjét, pedig ő írta minden idők egyik legkirályabb számát, amit mindig is áhitattal hallgattam, aztán egyszer valaki megmutatta nekem azt a jelenetet abból a hülye filmből, amiben Terry Crews ezt énekli, és ez olyan volt nekem, mintha paradicsomos babkonzervvel fröcskölték volna össze a Mona Lisámat, és azóta akárhányszor Vanessa ujjai megérintik a billentyűket, mindig meg kell győznöm magam, hogy nem, Terry Crews most nincs itt velünk a szobában, minden rendben van, élvezd az utazást a zongorás platós kocsin.

Azért is rizsázok ennyit minden másról, mert a Blue nem annyira érintett meg. Annak ellenére, hogy a könyvben azt írják, hogy ez az ultimate szakítós album, szóval aktuális. De valahogy mégsem. Átjön a sok felgyűlt dolog, amiknek ki kellett jönnie, ahogyan a csapongó érzelmek is, de valószínűleg Joninak más jellegű problémái voltak 1971-ben, mint most nekem.

A másik, hogy ezzel az egyszálgitáros, egyszálzongorás singer-songwriter dologgal mindig hadilábon álltam, mert nekem általában a zene fontosabb, mint a szöveg, és számomra ez így túl csupasz. Van amúgy ennek a műfajnak is olyan interpretációja, amit szeretek, sőt kifejezetten vonzódom azokhoz a produkciókhoz, amiben mindent egy ember csinál, egyedül, de ehhez az kell, hogy azt a szűk zenei eszköztárat, ami ennek az előadásmódnak a sajátja, kreatívan használja ki, csavarjon rajta egyet-kettőt. (nagyon várom már a 8 darab Bob Dylan album meghallgatását...)

Viszont azért is volt jó megismerkedni a Blue-val, mert ahogy fentebb is látszik, már csak Joni Mitchell neve is elég volt ahhoz, hogy egy csomó mindent felidézzek, csapongjak, sírjak, nevessek, meghallgassak számomra kedves dolgokat, és pontosan ezért kezdtem el írni ezt a blogot.

Azért beteszem ide az albumot, legyen meg:
