The most important part of the Altissia chapter is when they're being questioned by customs and Ignis looks at their party of:
1) Him 2) A college age punk 3) A man wider and taller than a fridge wearing no shirt and with several enormous scars 4) The actual crown prince of a neighboring country, making no effort to disguise himself
and decides their best cover story is
"✨We are students of the culinary arts.✨"
And it works.
#im still not over this#how tired was that border patrol guy#literally why did ignis go so specific. he could have just said they were tourists#does he know about some secret altissian law of hospitality that means you cant turn away traveling cooks#I feel like we really glossed over the lunacy of this statement#give me the extended bit where all their obvious shit gets questioned#'you look a lot like the crown prince of insomnia'#*noctis having left the last of his fucks in cape caem* 'yeah I get that a lot. I think its the nose.'#'and you sir. how did a respectable student of the culinary arts come by such a large and deadly looking chest wound?'#*gladio‚ seriously wishing Ignis had let him make the cover story* 'Always. Make sure the lobster is dead before you try to serve it.'#final fantasy#final fantasy xv#final fantasy 15#ffxv#ff15#ff xv#ff 15#ignis scientia#gladiolus amicitia#noctis lucis caelum#prompto argentum

one of my fave things about cr2 i think is that tmn as characters are impossible to separate from their setting, wildemount . like its intrinsically part of all of them. beau and caleb want to try their bests to cut out the corruption in the empire despite knowing its deep-rooted, because they grew up there. veths from the empire too but from a smaller farming community, she's less connected to the government or politics in that way but her being from that town that was destroyed in the war is what makes esseks actions so severely hurt her. yasha sleeps on the floor for comfort and eats odd things because she's been nomadic her entire life. she recognises the big weird lumbering beasts they see in the wastes and just shrugs them off. jester and fjord are always relieved to see the menagerie coast again. jester has drawn that ocean view from her bedroom window so many times, she recommends shops and foods from nicodranas, and fjord worships the sea he grew up besides and worked on. caduceus listens to beau and caleb because he's from the north, outside of the empire, and trusts they understand the complicated political aspects more than he does. in exchange he shares his tea and food from home with them all, and when he's having winter clothes made he brings fabric from home as an example - his family have specific fabrics and patterns they pass down. his tea is only grown in the grove, his staff is from there, grew there with him. and his armour! and lichen! he carries his home with him everywhere. theyre all so rooted in the continent and i love that
#thats something abt cr3 that makes me feel less attached to them. sm of them arent even from marquet . its a shame#i want connection! i want to care about the land theyre from#its harder if theyre just tourists lol#kiddo say#upon rewatching it does rly make the underlining war plotline in cr2 work well 2 me . they care abt where theyre from#even tho theyre off doing insane things and i think its a good dynamic especially when some of them arent from there#like beau and caleb are very concsious of behaving in front of empire authority figures whereas cad will behave but like#hes not scared like they are. he thinks theyre all stupid

In the Hetalia universe, I feel like nations are kind of seen as tourist attractions/propaganda tools by their governments for foreigners. Their bosses will make them advertise and objectify themselves for tourists (example: Hungary advertising Hungarian spas with sensual pictures). Hungary and other female nations are ESPECIALLY objectified and made to represent their country's "beauty and traditional values".
France's Instagram is full of pictures about national cuisine and tourist destinations. He's often told by his boss to make content that shows off French heritage and leverage his good looks to entice foreigners (Though France definitely takes some liberties). I kind of feel like every nation's bosses see their nation's Instagram as propaganda tools to show the perfect image of their countries.
This is especially true with countries that rely on tourism/get a lot of revenue from tourists. During tourist season, these nations often are told to be on their best behavior, and are encouraged to wear cultural clothing as a way to impress foreigners. Sometimes, they're even told to lean into stereotypes and gimmicks to entertain people.
In turn, a lot of tourists feel entitled to see nations as if they're a public attraction. They take pictures and videos, touch them like a petting zoo, and some even ask nations for inappropriate favors. Basically, they treat them like a Disneyland mascot.
#hetalia#hetalia headcanons#hetalia public au#nations revealed au#aph hungary#hws hungary#hetalia hungary#elizabeta héderváry#aph france#hws france#hetalia france#francis bonnefoy#tldr nations are super mega objectified#I feel like a lot are content with impressing people#but their bosses push things too far and they get shit from rude tourists

Shrines to the king
the last three are also king's idol locations
#didn't include statues because those dont really feel like shrines#I guess like the difference between a chapel and a statue in the middle of a tourist spot#hollow knight#hk pale king#pale king#the pale king

you know it’s still crazy to me the way louis changes when he interacts with humanity.
there’s this type of comfortability that he immediately gets when he’s in those spaces.
in episode 1, as soon as he’s sitting at a table and having a conversation with a regular degular human, he doesn’t even care about using his fake name anymore. He’s dancing, smiling, and cracking jokes with these people, mind you, he literally just met them.
at the end of episode 8, when he finally leaves armand and he’s in new orleans, from the interaction with the driver to the front desk at the hotel to the tourists….i have never seen louis look better in present day.
I swear louis is the embodiment of the sun and that’s probably why vampirism and who he is clashes because vampires can’t be in the sun, much less BE the sun. its also why the other vampires want him so badly, that man is light and warmth in a dark and cold existence…
#iwtv#interview with the vampire#louis de pointe du lac#he’s so precious to me because of this#like that’s baby fr fr#he’s a leo rising I KNOW IT#HE IS THE SUN#hes a city girl to his core tbh#reminds me of that interview with Assad when he said that armand sees a light in louis#trust if I was a vampire I WOULD DEVOUR HIM LIKE A 15 PIECE WINGSTOP COMBO#how much you wanna bet he was making conversation with the tourist#I feel like I’ve written something like this before but let’s hope not 😁#iwtv analysis

I've been meaning to make a list but I've been so busy WAAUGH!! but here it is!! I officially live in my van most of the time!
This is what the inside looks like! I keep my food under the bed and clothes in both the draws in the back (covered by a scarf) and the brown box thing! I have plenty of storage! I even made the floor and put doors in it so I can reach the space in-between that floor and the actual van floor. BUT! I don't use it ❤️
It's definitely a little challenging living in a van! Not for everyone and honestly I'm only doing it for the experience! Plus! I can't really afford a place on my own!
This little set up of mine took almost a year! I procrastinated a lot and had a decent amount of mechanical issues I needed fixed before even starting on the inside. In all, van price included, I spent around $7,000 give or take! I have a 03 Honda Odyssey and I really love it! I've been told I was lucky with it!
I don't really know how detailed people want me to get about this and what I'm currently doing but if anyone has questions send them in!
#ren won't shut up#i live in a van but sometimes I'll go back to my mamma's house and sleep in the driveway ❤️#this is still pretty new to me! it's ok! i dont love it but i do like it!#i think i need to try living in the woods for a bit bc ive mostly been staying around cities and large tourist towns#ughhh how should i tag this#vanlife#feels like I'm trying to be an influencer but im NOT AUHRHHRJSKDKEKRK

It’s been weeks since I saw the post that prompted this, but I once was reading a post critiquing Matt’s worldbuilding cause, you know, curiosity, and also I’m interested in critique if it’s well-argued, but one of the main points was “Hupperdook doesn’t make any sense, a town where everyone parties after work every day?” and I just thought “Ah. Someone who’s never been to several major US cities”
#my first thought was Philly but also New York#LA#I went through like 3 more before I remembered Vegas#which weirdly I feel like actually doesn’t count in that it’s the inverse and the tourists party while the locals are annoyed

I need food
ENGLAND: If you limit your palate too much, you’ll miss out on good food. So don’t worry about what it’s made of, just take a bite!
SOUTH ITALY: No way! You gotta use quality ingredients! And that’s why mine is better! Right? It’s better, right? You like it more, right?
Go on! Eat it! Eat it already! Why aren’t you eating?!
#2p england#2p romano#2p hetalia#hetalia#anonymous#this ask is from march 2018#i am getting over my procrastination arc. just kidding. i am procrastinating work rn#ummm im working on 2p romano..#ive developed a lot of his and venice's backstory.#ill always love classic 2promano but i feel like maybe he was... a product of his time... a silly 2014 lil guy.#i dont think he umhm.m. .. fits.. design wise.. into my interp of the 2ps#so ibased this off of his canon 2p design!#i used fandom 2proma's personality as a basis still tho :) hes still very lux and glam hehe... as youd expect from the tourist part of italy#england is eating people and romano is just having an abandonment issues breakdown. via pasta and pizza.#england is like wow that guy is weird...

half of gravity falls is like "we are in a small tiny town in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. it's not on any maps and nobody has heard of it ever" and the other half is like "we have a big concert venue that hosts nationally famous bands. a whole ass shopping mall. minigolf. THE TOWN HAS ITS OWN TV STATION. two businesses survive off of tourism alone"
#gravity falls#postfallofit#the shopping mall is what really gets me#the “somewhere in the woods” monologue is great and all but it definitely seems out of place from dipper's POV#for some reason this feels like a forbidden thing to say#that's not to say there aren't tiny tourist towns. some of that stuff is still weird for a tiny tourist town tho lol

Sorry for being so inactive lately... been busy irl, and have been meaning to post here more often, but also, like... I always feel a bit shy approaching the 'kin communities on here because it kind of feels like everyone is sort of... "internet poisoned"? For lack of a possibly-better word. A lot of folks here on tumblr in the 'kin and alterhuman communities are children, and a lot of more prominent community figures treated like "elders" are only about my age or younger, and it feels really strange, to be honest. There's a lot of discussion of feelings and terminology, but very little "lifestyle"? It's like there's a universal expectation for everyone to just figure everything out on their own; you get some definitions here and there yeah, but the amount of variance says much more loudly "just figure out what it all means on your own, pal". ex. Not only can no one actually explain what "otherhearted" actually means sans relation to otherkin, but it feels like I never see anyone talk about dealing with what one could call "kin feels" in the workplace, when unable to acquire your habitat, etc... Othercon is online-only, and while I'm pretty sure I'd be unable to attend an in-person event, part of me has a hard time feeling like everyone is really taking it all seriously and is really unafraid of being "cringe" when obviously it's so much easier to act like you're so confident online. I kinda feel like meeting some wolfkin stereotypes in a park for snacks and doing a group howl would do more for me than years of reading essays on tumblr ever has.
I dunno, I tried watching a recording of an Othercon panel I felt would be relevant and useful to me once, and was floored at just how... utterly useless it was. Despite its promising title, it was just shallow "you're valid" garbage and internet discourse... Makes me feel severely alienated, to be honest.
#'youre valid' this 'just journal' that I'M ALMOST 30 WITH JOB AND TERRITORIAL why doesn't anyone have anything irl useful to say to me#otherkin community#othercon#alterhuman#otherkind#otherkin#fictionkind#fictionkin#I'd LOVE to visit the Silver Elves or something just to see someone in person who I know takes this stuff seriously#like... people who are actually trying to live AS their kintype and I KNOW they are. because all this online posturing makes me feel alone#but they're in HAWAI'I and so I can't just take a road trip + am not Doing That to the already-colonized-and-sick-of-tourists-Hawaiians

"Inazuma is poorly written" meaning the worldbuilding's great but the plot needs a rewrite. "Natlan is poorly written" meaning the worldbuilding needs a redesign but the plot is great.
#Inazuma needs a rewrite of exerything in the archon quest EXCEPT Kazuha's arc with the 2 visions.#Inazuma's map worldbuilding and culture are all great#Natlan needs a complete revamp of the 6 tribes and the Stadium#because everything feels like it was designed for tourists instead of the people who live there#make the cultural references better. less modern clothes#that means change most of the character designs#I would also change most of the character's gameplay and replace their transportation with something less modern#Kinich gets a pass because tech is a dendro motif and his transport method is just Ajaw but everyone else needs to change#Mavuika especially#also more melanin obviously#but the actual plot has been stellar so far#the issue of having to fight not only for your people's lives but also to preserve their history and heritage (like under colonialism)#that was great#and in general Natlan was much better than Inazuma at portraying the horrors of war#genshin impact#genshin#原神#natlan#inazuma#mavuika#raiden shogun#raiden ei#genshin archon quest#genshin inazuma#genshin natlan
