My pest service sent me an automated text about the next time they’re coming out, and in trying to dismiss the text on my watch, I fat fingered the screen and instead sent this as a reply:

It’s a lie. I’m not on my way lol

[frownyalfred]

that’s the pipeline. that’s how they get ya. every time.

Hi it's just to let you know that the official romanization of Revaan's name is Raverne ! Also they have romanized Baul's name to Baur !

Twst coming back at us again with the least expected romanization! thank you everybody (oh god my inbox) (no it's great, I literally asked for this and the reactions have been INCREDIBLE, thank you all!)

I do like Raverne though, I think it's got a nice fancy sound to it! (I had kinda suspected it was going to be an R instead of an L, so the fact that it's SO close to Laverne except for that is hilarious to me personally.) and Dragoneye Duke is honestly probably the best translation for his title, I wasn't envying the localizers that one. :') Baur instead of Baul I was NOT expecting, but in retrospect I think his name's supposed to be a reference to the Bauru crocodile, so that actually makes way more sense!

someone else also said Meleanor has become Maleanor, which is the REALLY weird one to me, because I was so surprised it was written as Mel instead of Mal in the first place?! oh god no I can't decide which one I like better. 😭 (I wonder if they might change it to Mal...they have made romanization changes before) (like I remember House of Distraction being corrected to House of Destruction in Playful Land) (I did check and she's still Mel for now, but I dunno, they might Mal her up and some point and save me from having to make a decision about which one to use) (HECK I CAN'T DECIDE)

uhhhh thank you for letting me ramble about anime names, let's just say MONOGRAMMED SWEATERS FOR EVERYONE

One of the things that makes me feel crazy on DMC5 replays is the way V phrases his request to Dante.

He doesn't say "we need your help to stop the demon." He says "A powerful demon is about to resurrect, and we need your help, Dante." The implication seems to be that V needs Dante's help to stop it...but if you've played it before, that's not what he's really asking. V needs Dante's help in order for the resurrection to take place. Because until Urizen is weakened V has no chance of rejoining him, so he needs Dante's help to weaken Urizen so he's primed for merging and bringing about Vergil's resurrection. The "we" V refers to could also absolutely be both V and Urizen in that case, instead of just some general "we" of humanity. So he's not really asking for help to stop the resurrection, but instead to bring it about, hiding the truth in plain sight and careful wording.

The DMC 5 localization can be wonky in some places, but in other places it just shines. "We need your help, Dante." Not to stop it. He never says that. It's to bring about the resurrection itself.

People who say they were fans of caitvi in s1 but not s2 I don't get it. Like you have two people of different classes and different backgrounds but didn't want that to be utilized in anyway? Just wanted them to wash over that fact and not make it a point of conflict?

..... but on a coherent note, while the style of the visuals in this game is a bit different from Inquisition's (and therefore the returning characters also look and move different), I think this is a nice, and effective redesign. I like it.

Yes, it is different, but it's still undeniably Dorian.

He's just... no longer in his early thirties, but he's visibly a 40-year-old man, with the smile lines and forehead-creases that come with that.

There are deeper creases in the corners of his eye when he smiles now, he wears his hair and facial hair different (I'm not sure about those brows baby, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't the same exact shape as his original brow, only darker), and he dresses according to different fashions now. But, I like how the elements of the design stayed: the asymmetric capelet-thing, the leather straps across his chest look straight up like they were lifted from Inquisition (I've been collecting some shots of assets that look like they're from Inquisition, they make me smile, I might post a little compilation later), and the snake-headed clasp also looks very familiar.

I originally clipped this shot because of the excellent stankface, but it's also showing the outfit pretty nicely:

I also grabbed this one really quickly, to show that his boots are also very similar to the ones he wore in Inquisition:

Overall, honestly, though the clothing feels a bit bulkier and more bottom-heavy in Veilguard than it does in Inquisition in general, this is not really that much different from his original design. It's an updated, slightly more modest version of his Inquisition look, with robes that are a bit less open, flare out less and have tighter sleeves that cover more skin, which is, yeah, more suitable for a respected Magister than the threads of the rebel Altus.

crying, welcome back baby boy I missed you these past years ya sweet sweet man, you've done so much growing i'm so proud of you, now let's introduce you to an iron because boy those robes are creased at the bottom

(the only unrealistic thing is that this man can shut up about his husband-in-all-but-the-legal-sense for more than two seconds, really)

Tbh i am not surprised that a person who openly talked about having drinking problems since 1d days, because of how crazy 1d worked has been agressive. What surprises me is people being surprised (they never seriously saw drunk person?). But i am also confused about this whole book. Apparently Maya said that that book is not fully bout Liam but compilation about her exes and some of the worst parts are not about him. But recently she said that the book is “ofc about him” so what is true then? Or did she meant it that ofc some parts are about him or that whole book is about him?

Sorry, just confused

I also am not surprised- we've learned so much more about the real stories of things and about the guys' actual lives over the last years, and the story that has unfolded around Liam has been totally consistent throughout if you've been following it, and so the information Maya is telling us is shocking and upsetting but not difficult to believe. I got an anon yesterday saying they were worried about getting similar revelations about the other boys, like "if Liam could be doing this we just don't know, any of them could", and while in a way that's always true I guess, anyone could be doing anything in private like... that doesn't really concern me. Because none of these Liam revelations are coming out of nowhere, there have been many MANY steps along the way leading us here if you've been watching, and he has talked openly about both his mental health struggles and his addiction issues. So to answer that anon... to find out something similar about Louis would in contrast contradict everything we know about him and no I'm not worried about it. Is he probably very irritating, absolutely, but an abuser or a loose cannon, well that news would shock me. But anyway as for the book I don't find it strange that she was nervous when it came out and treading lightly and later decided, fuck it. In the absolutely on point tiktok she dropped today (YES👏GIRL👏FUCKING TELL THEM👏) she even mentions attempts to keep her from publishing the book, presumably by Liam's team, that I am riveted by and cannot WAIT to hear more details about actually- like I said I don't find it at all strange that she was nervous and downplayed it a bit then. But if she says now that it's just about Liam, well, I would say it's been clear from the beginning that the book is their story. Maya herself brought up the parallel of songs being written about stuff and I think it's the same thing; it's true (she was in an abusive relationship that involved certain kinds of events) but maybe not 100% literal (I'm sure details were changed to make the story work, it's not like a word for word timeline of their interactions or whatever).

actually i'm not done talking about termina. do you think that even years after majora's mask link wakes up to rain and instinctively thinks "2 days left"

[syndrossi]

I really hope we make it to proper winter in the story by the holidays, so I can write some adorable "Rhaegar happily frolicking in his first snow while Jon can't believe half a foot of snow is considered 'heavy' snowfall" with bonus "hatchlings figure out that using dragonflame to melt corridors of snow is both fun AND helpful."

I had a dog, Athena, who was obsessed with these rubber pigs that make noise se when you squeeze them. She'd carefully carry them around, gently boop them to make the noise, and cuddle with them. Athena has some health issues that meant she often had days where she felt really bad, and she'd always gather up her multiple pigs to cuddle for comfort. She loved those pigs.

When we got another dog, Burt, she diligently taught him to be gentle with the pigs. To not wrestle with them or risk breaking them. They would certainly play with them together, running around playing keep away. But it was always very careful compared to their other toys. Beyond that however, Burt never bothered much with the pigs.

Athena unfortunately passed away rather young, a consequence of her health issues. And after she passed, we got another dog, Briar. Briar never met Athena, never learned anything from her directly. Nevertheless, Briar seems to have taken up Athena's love for those pigs. I'm sure Burt taught her to be gentle with them, that they are special. But Briar also goes to the pigs for comfort. She treats them like babies, the way Athena used to. She carefully arranges them in a nest and snuggles them when she's feeling bad.

And it's just so magical to me. These two dogs who never met, connected through their joint comfort found in these silly little pig toys.
