TNG character: Oh no, my career! DS9 character: My homeworld was destroyed and I live at a bar
TNG character: I glide through space on the biggest, fastest, most heavily armed string quartet concert hall in the galaxy DS9 character: I'm drinking 5x caffeinated Klingon coffee and betting with a fanged con man about what horror will come out of the hole in space next door
TNG character: All for one, and one for all! DS9 character: This week, we're kinda sorta allies with the Cardassians, but on fighting terms with the Romulans, Klingons, Breen, Jem'Hadar, and Voyager
TNG character: our hero was prepared to ram a Borg cube at FTL velocity because he thought he was out of options DS9 character: our hero irradiated a whole-ass planet to get back at an ex co-worker
TNG character: the chips are down, time to call on the man who can save us all: the Chief Engineer DS9 character: the chips are down, time to call on the man who can save us all: our combination tailor / torturer / assassin
TNG character: ah yes, the Klingons, an intriguing, lusty bunch of roughnecks, in a Shakespearean way DS9 character: holy hell did you see that ep where they boarded DS9 and everybody was kung-fu fighting and Bashir was like "get ready for some FOOTBALLL"
TNG character: wow uh Gowron sure can bug his eyeballs out DS9 character: if you like him you're gonna love Martok
TNG character: our Captain sometimes has a grim cup of tea while brooding over how cruel the universe can be DS9 character: our Captain sometimes drinks a whole bottle of whatever Quark smuggled in that week while brooding over his false flag operation getting out of hand
TNG character: you know, the Federation doesn't use money anymore, so we're always a little surprised to stumble into … ah … a scheme DS9 character: Welcome to CRIME CITY baby, I'm already stealing your eyeballs
TNG character: comic relief? Oh, we kinda tried that with Data and Lwaxana and uhh Rog, yeah. Even Picard, briefly DS9 character: meet Quark and Morn and Nog and Rom and Garak (he's a utility player) and Bashir (sometimes) and Gul Dukat can be funny and
TNG character: but you gotta admit the "Captain Picard Day" scene is one of the funniest bits in Trek. "Wouldn't you agree, Number One?" DS9 character: you're totally right

in return for the fic recs i got last month, here are a few fics i read recently that i want to absolutely yell about from the rooftops:
Iron, Fire, Mirror-Glass by PurpleSoot: an early batman days AU where, while slowly healing from a spine-shattering injury, bruce finds an old book about the fae. in a fit of desperation he attempts a Summoning to try to heal his spine. enter: robin.
this story is fantastic—the kind of longfic with a plot so good and satisfying that finishing it leaves you on a reading high for at least a week. one of the best early days bruce fics i’ve ever read, with honorable mentions to excellent alfred and clark and jim and selina characterizations—but robin (dick) really takes the cake here. the balance of chilling, otherworldly, not-quite-human vs. playful, earnest, Still Just a Child…chef’s kiss. the way robin’s character arc drags bruce kicking and screaming through his own emotional growth is so well-paced and well-wrought that i already want to reread just so i can experience it again. this is one of those god-tier longfics that i can’t believe i got to read for free on the internet.
mid-reading testimonial:
Tumblr media
The Lone Ranger Never Had to Deal with Bruce Wayne by @theskeptileptic: a tim-joins-the-family-early fic in which tim decides to do everyone (his parents) a solid by faking his own death and running away to canada, except his weirdo neighbor bruce wayne keeps butting in and messing up his plans.
this is one of the rare stories where tim doesn’t know batman’s identity yet, and even rarer stories where that somehow makes the whole thing even more compelling. this fic has two of my favorite things: small, lonely, moderately unhinged tim drake pov, and really good pangs—pangs that are expertly teased out through flashbacks that add context to the present action at exactly the right moments. also, a very fun cameo near the end. i had a blast reading this one, physically clutched my chest more than once, and am already looking forward to rereading.
mid-reading testimonial (feat. @cairoscene):
Tumblr media
equivalent exchange by scribblemetimbers (wip): an au set during tim’s robin days in which tim discovers 1) crossroads demons are a thing and 2) people can make deals with them. deals that include bringing people back from the dead, so long as you’re willing to pay the price with your own life.
this fic is so…🤌‼️ it feels like everything i want in a fic so far, down to two incredibly specific concepts i love (bruce, in his grief, saying something harsh to robin!tim with disastrous consequences later + tim making a big secret sacrifice gambit) which are both done so so well, within a larger plot that is also done so so well. the way this fic cuts in and out of scenes at the exact right moments for max tension feels like a masterclass in causing me to tear my hair out (in the best way), and instead of assorted pangs reading it is just one big Pang. it currently leaves off on an agonizing cliffhanger but, again, in the best way. highly recommend. (thank you again @owlbats for the rec!)
exchange between me and my friend after i sent the link, which about sums it up:
Tumblr media
and to cut this angst with some humor:
IRIS Log #1548 by @deadchannelradio: a night on patrol as recorded by the bats’ audio logs, centering around red hood getting flung into a ditch and everyone, eventually, getting home safe.
one of the top ten funniest things i’ve ever read—spiritually up there with send to all (and if you’ve seen my fic rec tag you’ll know what a compliment that is). this makes use of the audio log format SO well. the dialogue shines, the jokes land with excellent timing, and it moves at such a clip that it’s pretty much impossible to stop reading once you’ve started. every character shines in this, and i’ve randomly choked on laughter remembering the phrase ‘good god he got thrown like a corn hole beanbag’ like twenty times in the past few weeks.

I feel like one of the things that gets missed a lot about Sonic and Amy's dynamic is that he isn't running because he's scared of Amy or hates her: Sonic runs because he loves running, and Amy chases because she loves Sonic and all he represents. She also clearly doesn't spend all her time chasing him: in Adventure 1 she's just lounging around in a city missing him and then he runs into her, in Heroes she's spending time with other friends of hers, etc.
Tumblr media
Yes, she is more active in pursuing him than even other characters like Tails can be, and he can occasionally be overwhelmed by her pushy personality, but that doesn't equate to stalking or harassment. Sonic enjoys having her around- they're friends. To a certain extent, Sonic also clearly enjoys being chased by Amy.
Tumblr media
Almost every moment that gets tossed around as her being abusive or terrible is some looney toons ass gag. Y'all can't seriously think she intended to kidnap and physically drag Sonic into a church to marry her just based off one awkward line in Heroes, can you? Regardless of whether you ship them or want them to be canon or not or find the jokes cringe or #problematic, their intended dynamic is not and has never been that of stalker and victim.
Also, another misconception about her is that people think her life revolves just around Sonic. Now, she was certainly created with him in mind (the creators wanted her to be a Minnie Mouse to Sonic's Mickey Mouse) but that's true of almost every character in the classic era. I'm not going to pretend CD presented a great dynamic between them, but starting as early as Adventure Amy had stories about standing up to Sonic, befriending other characters, actively redeeming multiple other characters/being one of the ones to help them, etc.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She's got multiple hobbies and friends outside of Sonic, she will stand up to him when she thinks he's doing something wrong: she has a life outside of Sonic.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just because she wants her life to include him as well doesn't make her a one-note, lovesick fangirl stalker like she was so commonly seen as for so long!
Anyway. I just really love Amy Rose and also her dynamic with Sonic. It's been portrayed imperfectly at times, and there are definitely some moments where she was characterized horribly, but a) that's true of basically every major Sonic character and b) that doesn't wipe out all the good characterization and moments she's had over the years. She's always been a good character, and she's been growing and evolving over the years, just like a good character should. Her problem is mostly that she's been underutilized in games, and the solution to this is simply just to show more than one facet of her personality, not bashing that part of her or trying to take it away.

so for like, a decade plus, i've been searching for a youtube video i remember seeing back in 2007, and i've finally managed to make some headway:
good news: i've found it
bad news: it's lost media
#it's been bugging me for so long honestly#ive talked about it in my tags before but its basically the video that introduced me to roblox#it's probably a bit silly to have been searching for this video. but part of the reason ive been looking is to see how good my memory is#specifically memories from when i was 9 years old. and how those memories have aged given im 26 now#like id say my memory is pretty good. specifically remembering specific details from memories long ago#like that isn't to say they're perfect. like i'll get some details wrong. but i know the general idea of what i saw#but basically#it's basically some old roblox bloopers video that had their character in a baseball cap and lugia t-shirt#now for a few years i wasn't sure i was correct on this person wearing a lugia t-shirt#and so at some point i figured i had to give up looking for that specific detail#since literally no video i could find had these two details combined. id find characters with baseball caps but never with a lugia t-shirt#and by that point i was afraid i wouldn't be able to find this video. or worse. my memory was wrong and it was something i watched in 2008#but i knew it had to be uploaded before december 12th. 2007. because thats when i made my account#and the way i found it was going through 11 pages of a youtube search for ''lego videos''#i was specifically looking for new lego videos to watch. or find something that seemed more interesting than lego mario stop motion#and there was one video that stood out. which was some random roblox bloopers video. mixed in with a bunch of random lego videos#anyway. just today i was scrolling through twitters ''for you'' tab and happened upon a thread showing off lost roblox youtube thumbnails#and i was like ''well. can't hurt to see if theres anything in here that i recognize.''#and lo and behold. a roblox dude in a blue baseball cap and a lugia t-shirt. labeled as ''ROBLOX Bloopers!''#i could feel the anvil of my doubt free itself from my brain because i finally had proof of a video that lines up with my memory#thats not to say this is the exact video but 99% certain it's uploaded by the same person. like it could be roblox bloopers part 2#but anyway. the channel and the video(s) are lost and while im sad i can't watch it to confirm my memory#im happy to see that there's evidence that lines up with my memory of what i saw back then#for reference. it was uploaded by someone named 'Furzniak' at the time. and it was uploaded on July 21st. 2007

Tomodachi Life switch wishlist (in my opinion):
These are all the features I could think of for a possible future Tomodachi Life switch game! Please feel free to reblog/reply with anything you wanna see that isn't listed :)
- Obviously first, gay marriage Nintendo has gone on record to say that in the next Tomodachi Life game, they will be adding gay marriage to the game. Lets hope they keep their promise and legalize gay marriage on the island.
- Miitopia makeup option One of the best new features Miitopia switch added to the game. I firmly believe we need this option in Tomodachi Life. A majority of players I know make fictional characters, so having the customization options would be huge.
(More under read more)
- Miitopia wigs Wigs, like makeup, is a really good feature from Miitopia switch. I would personally love more wig options for Tomodachi Life, with more modern looks. Having more hair customization option would be amazing!
- More apartment space 100 miis is a lot, but I love making fictional characters for my game, and it ends up adding up fast. Because the switch can handle a lot more, having the limit extended from 100 to maybe 200-300 would be amazing. A 500 limit might be too much imo
- More locations I would really love for more locations for your miis to visit and hang out at. The locations are great, but if Nintendo extends the mii limit, we probably need more locations!
- Updates with new items Due to Spotpass not being a thing on the switch anymore, I feel like Nintendo should give us updates to the game with new items like clothing, etc. Maybe once a month for holidays and such? But just having limited monthly clothes in the store would be ok!
- Online play This is a big one. With streetpass no longer being a thing, I think Nintendo should instead give us online abilities. For example, we could visit other's islands and see the miis in their apartments, and possibly even save them for our apartments! Maybe we could also have an option for our miis to take a vacation at other's islands? For child miis sent off to travel the world, maybe they'll visit the islands of your friends (either from an in game friend system, or your switch friends)!
- Apartment customization The apartments in tomodachi life are great, but what if we had the option to fully customize our apartments by being able to place/move furniture? I would love getting more customization in the game
And that's all! Like I said, please feel free to reply/reblog with anything you'd like to see in a new Tomodachi Life switch game that I missed or forgot! :)

i know the epilogues are bad yadda yadda yadda but ahhh every now and then i think about meat rose and sigh this wistful little sigh...
she's so sad to me. a woman suffering so much being taken advantage of by the only person who she thinks can sympathize with her situation... so vulnerable and desperate for a way out, a way to fix things so she can be happy with her wife and live this peaceful life being denied to her because the game still haunts her after all this time
rose and dirks convos in the epilogues are still so good imo i don't even care what anyone says. rose deserved so much better but oh maaan i think about it so much. a cruel father and a desperate daughter. i think a lot about the weird tenderness in those scenes between them, the way dirk uses rose's weakness to take advantage of her
i love to dream of a world where post canon rose grows and learns from the people who took advantage of her as a child, and through that prevents cycles of abuse from perpetuating in her adult life. but also i rotate the way that rose's fall from grace caused by dirk in the epilogues parallels with her plunge into grimdarkness via dr scratch in homestuck proper all the time and idk. i cant help but think it's a little clever

I just want BDE to hold me; cradle me in his lap like a baby while he reads to me as I lay my head on his chest. Is that too much to ask for?
nonnie.. NONNIE.!! i wish you could hear the wistful sigh i let out reading this. i'm kicking my heels and twirling my hair about Big Daddy every chance i get 💌
just wanna curl up with him anywhere - in bed, on the couch, in the backseat of the car - wherever he is, wherever he's already comfortable, that's exactly where i wanna be.. 💓
[also i was just rambling i didn't mean for this to turn into any aCTUAL writing but.. uH 👉👈 yah sure whatever it's a blurb now ig]
wanna sneak up and slip into his lap while he's got that pretty nose of his buried in a book, disrupting his focus for only a second as he holds his book away to make room for you while you get comfy. his arms wrap securely around you once he's sure you're done moving, holding you tight, keeping your bodies flush as he reopens the paperback in his hand.
what follows is a kiss on the cheek and a murmur of sorry, didn't mean to bother you, just wanted to sit with you a little. go back to your book, and he hums a little absentmindedly in response as he keeps reading. you're pressed so close you can feel the rumble of it deep in his chest.
you busy yourself with nothing in particular, playing with the tuck in his shirt sleeve or the fringe on his jacket, occasionally running your fingers over some of your favorite parts of him: the plush swell of his belly or thighs, warm and strong underneath you; the soft slope of his shoulders, the curve of his neck, sometimes even reaching up to trace the ridge of his brow or the line of his nose. never for an extended period, just long enough for him to register and relish in the gentle touch. you wouldn't think he even noticed, too absorbed in his reading, except for how he squeezes your waist every time.
eventually, you sigh and wriggle in his arms, and he immediately drops them and clears his throat, faking that he's unaffected at the thought of you getting bored and leaving... but you're just sitting up a little higher in his lap to adjust your reach. you pout a little in discontent at the loss of his sturdy closeness so tight around you and pull his arms back where you want them. the barest hint of a smile on his face is given away only by the slight blush that colors his cheeks as he chides himself for bein' foolish, but it immediately widens to a cheshire grin as you begin running your fingers softly through his hair instead.
you don't know how much time passes like that, both of you content just to soak in the others' presence, before he speaks. wan' me to read out loud to ya, baby? his voice is quiet and sweet - not shy, per se, but like he's savoring the moment, like he worries you might get up anytime now and he wants to appreciate you here, snug and lovely in his arms, while he's still got it. you just nod in response, knowing he can feel it. he nods once, too, throat working as you watch his pillowy lips begin to form the words.
he thinks he's being surreptitious, but you're not so distracted that you don't notice how he flipped back to the very beginning of the book - a ploy to spend more time with you, but you don't mind one little bit. you hide your answering grin in his shoulder, sealed w a kiss pressed there, into the warmth of his body underneath the silky fabric of his shirt.
his voice is a little hoarse, at first, from slight disuse, but the longer he reads, the smoother it gets, the rich ebb and flow characteristic of his extensive vocal range becoming apparent. his cadence is lilting and musical in and of itself, so much so that you almost aren't listening to the words in favor of focusing on the sound.
the more he reads, the more comfortable you get, your fingers moving down to twirl in the fluffy curls at the nape of his neck as you rest your head on his shoulder. soon you find yourself sliding back down into his lap even further, to settle more firmly against the breadth of his chest. you can feel more so than hear the steady thump-thump of his heartbeat under your cheek. you've never felt so safe and loved as you do right here with him, and you know he knows it.
before long, lulled by that feeling, you find your blinks growing slower and your head growing heavier. you lost the plot of the book long ago, too distracted by his delicious closeness to keep track of the host of details, but now even the white noise of his voice is blurring in your ears as you drowse in his arms. not gonna fall asleep on me, are ya, little? he chuckles, his fond amusement audible. you grin a little but don't open your eyes, playfully slapping his shoulder as you settle more firmly against him. that, mr. presley, is for me to know and you to find out. now keep reading!
anythin' you say, honey.

“T.K.: Hi baby I’m home!
Carlos: T.K. Ask me how my day was.
T.K.:….. How was your day?
Carlos: It wasn’t the best. Now ask me why.
T.K.: Can you skip to the part about what I did wrong? (Heard a chirping noise) What was that?
Carlos: That was my question. It’s a cricket, one of several that were in a box that was on our doorstep.
T.K: Oh the crickets came!
Carlos:……
T.K: Oh. The crickets came here.
Carlos: Two hundred and fifty of them, TK. Which brings us to- why did you have two hundred and fifty crickets delivered to our home?
T.K: Okay so you know how there was a call last week about the old guy and the Komodo dragon…
Carlos: Uh huh….
T.K.: And how the dragon needed a new home and the guy, he had someone to take it and just needed a place for Cosmo to stay in the meantime…
Carlos: Cosmo?
T.K: The dragon.
Carlos: Of course. Was the plan for Cosmo to stay with us?
TK: No, not at all! But since my dad had to go back to New York to testify in that case, Cosmo was going to stay with Mateo.
Carlos: Okay, I need to sit down before you tell me the rest of this.
Carlos: So wait, why were the crickets delivered here?
TK: I have no idea! I ordered them for Mateo but they were supposed to be delivered to the firehouse. Here I can show you- see?
Carlos: (looks at his phone) TK…. You entered the firehouse as the billing address and our home as the shipping address.
TK:….. I did?
Carlos:……
TK: Oh baby I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to ruin your day off.
Carlos: I know that. And I didn’t mean ruin your night…. Or possibly your day off tomorrow.
TK:….. We’re not going to get to the thing at the Ryder’s tonight, are we?”
Carlos: Nope. Not unless you want to explain to your dad why a hungry dragon ate Mateo and Buttercup when he gets back.
TK: Come on, Cosmo wouldn’t do that.
Carlos: Remind me why fire and medical were dispatched to Cosmo’s house in the first place?
T.K:….. He got out of his yard and the neighbor thought he would eat her rabbits. Which he didn’t, by the way!
Carlos: TK….
TK: So, crickets?
Carlos: Yep.
TK: Copy that.
TK: Hey, this should be kind of fun. Like a big game of Pokémon- gotta catch ‘em all, right?
Carlos: …. TK-
TK: Right. Crickets now. Jokes later.
Carlos: Or never, possibly”.

This is gonna be a long read so buckle in...
So, Iverr and Estinien basically shared Nidhogg's power through ARR to the end of the Dragonsong War. However, when Estinien was overtaken by Nidhogg's rage, it severed the connection shared between the wyrm and Iverr...this, in turn, made Iverr unable to use his draconic abilities he gained from said connection.
He spent the short time in post-HW fighting alongside WoL as a normal dragoon. While he was still a great fighter, the loss of that which gave him power was difficult for the Viera....Before the fight with Nidhoggstinien, Hraesvelgr gifts one of his own eyes, albeit temporarily, to WoL. WoL, in turn, asks Iverr to hold it, as it would be of more use to him.
Upon taking the Eye, Iverr once again felt the strength he once had from Nidhogg, but this time......this time it was no longer a shared strength. It was his to use in full.
Upon Nidhogg's defeat, and with Estinien safe, Iverr brought the Eye back to the wyrm Hraesvelgr, returning it as promised. This surprised Hraesvelgr, as all previous dragoons were so quick to take the eyes of dragons with no thought to their owners. This touched Hraesvelgr; it reminded him of Shiva's kindness, and he saw the same kindness and love within Iverr. Hraesvelgr then prompted Iverr to hold on to his eye for the time being, with the promise that he would return it to him when he deemed he no longer needed it.
Iverr did not take this gift for granted. Using Hraesvelgr's golden power, he helped WoL liberate Ala Mhigo and Kugane, striking down Shinryu and smiting Zenos once and for all (or so he thought akjfjskd)
However, when he too was swiftly brought to the First alongside the Scions, he feared he'd lose the connection he had begun to form with Hraesvelgr. His temporary Lightwarden transformation did not help his confidence either, and he took up the art of the Dancer as he recovered throughout Shadowbringers.
Once Emet-Selch was defeated, he took back up the lance, and when calling upon the power of the wyrm in battle, he was surprised to find that he was able to use it, ableit at a fraction of its usual strength. Even across the universe, the connection between himself and Hraesvelgr endured. This helped him regain his confidence, and upon returning to the Source, he spared no time in training himself in wielding this power and strengthening this bond.
By the time the Final Days had begun, Iverr and Hraesvelgr's bond was stronger than ever. When the Scions, him now amongst them, were determined to fly across the universe to find Meteion, he feared that if something were to happen to him and the Eye, he wouldn't be able to fulfill his promise to the wyrm. Thus, he left the Eye behind. He feared that he would be returned to a powerless state but, in the fight with the Endsinger, in his endless resolve to stay by WoL's side, he clung to hope, calling upon Hraesvelgr for power and, to his surprise, Hraesvelgr answered. Iverr was able to wield his power without the Eye's assistance, just as Estinien could wield Nidhogg's.
Upon their return, Iverr took a short respite before taking his pilgrimage back to the Churning Mists. He called Hraesvelgr down, Eye in hand, and returned it to him. This pleased the great dragon, who had fully expected Iverr to never return it.
In this act of trust, Hraesvelgr named Iverr his Golden Lance, one to enact judgement upon those who threatened the peace on this star. ⚜️

hello. im ready to make a thread of my initial thoughts
spoilers under the cut for the eleventh hour gn (obviously) (also its a pretty long post lol)
the opening sequence caught me fully off guard and i like it so much. pair it with the dramatic irony of them yelling at barry towards the end. juicy stuff. love it so much
my favourite running joke with lucretia is her introcard always having some veiled reference to The Events. one of her proficiencies being 'remembering the dead' certainly holds true
lucretia ^v^ face is real. look at her.
Tumblr media
i noticed the running background joke of affirmative mugs that aren't actually all that affirmative. it was very funny. World's Sheriff
the ren and taako scene. i feel no need to elaborate
speaking of that though, the opening to magic lessons starts a running motif of taako being actively bad at fire evocation, despite telling everyone that he remembers being very good at it. i wonder if he had someone close who would do that for him instead
Tumblr media
i like that taako actively cares abt the others' wellbeing, up to and including waiting for them to join conversations, etc. its noticeable that he pauses and waits for everyone to respond before he continues. he cares ok

the lucretia monologue from merle's lunar interlude is, in my opinion, as an expert on Lucretia Moments (tm), one of the most fucked up things she ever says. and seeing it in the comic definitely made me feel a type of way. i love you lucretia. i want to shake you around so bad
correct me if im wrong but lucretia and merle laughing is the first time lucy's ever gotten silly in the comic right? they tend to cut her jokes in favour of playing her more seriously but it was so sweet and refreshing to see her being so comfortable. makes me so excited for the stolen century comic
extremely mad that the "shoulda leaned away" "I LEANED AWAY" joke was lost. but not as devastated as losing the skeleton DnD debate. they cut all of the best travis moments from the arc
changing their death count from like, 8? to well over a hundred was an interesting choice. i think it works well to convey the narrative stakes a little better since they cut the old-june interludes.
i dont know if this was intentional but starting the last loop on chapter 111, which is the exact amount of years that the stolen century and lonely decade span, made me insane. this may be just an innocuous choice though. who knows
losing redmond and luca makes sense definitely and i love more ren screentime but man the running bit of griffin attempting to foreshadow lup over and over again and noone ever getting it is so dear to me. edward and lydia are definitely a better set for that though. rip skeleton man
istus <3<3<3<3<3<3<3 i cried a little over her in my twitter live tweet. kissing the pages
[static noises] in taako's chalice sequence was fully expected and yet i still got blindsided by it somehow. i had to put the book down for a little while. it was the only panel that made me do that
cried a little at glamour springs too. he looks so sad :,(
the crying at taako's sequence certainly didnt prepare me for the emotional state i went into ravens roost in. magnus burnsides i am holding you. i am holding you. i am h
little june looks like istus and i think that is so incredibly good.
YELLED OUT LOUD WHEN THE RED RBE APPEARED. OBVIOUSLY. IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SCENE
i already mentioned the dramatic irony but what i love the mot abt this sequence is how like, stressed out barry looks. like he has no grip on this conversation whatsoever. it conveys his desperation really well considering how imposing he's (tried to) be in all other scenes
taako saying lup's name out loud after barry says it is profound to me because one thing that's always fucked me up in the podcast is that before he remembers he never once says it. its always "L-U-P". barry is the only one who remembers how to say her name. so seeing taako say it now was like. gut punch. ow
ignore the rest of this thread because taakitz date is real so who cares about anything else /j. i missed my man so bad. so happy to see him around
i KNEW the drawing would be the ending stinger and it STILL got me. FUCK the suffering game comic will be so good
