when people refer to canon story-relevant kingdom hearts games as ‘spinoffs’ it makes me sad not only for the obvious reasons i always say but also bc like man i WISH this series had spinoffs. imagine what they could do if they had permission from nomura to truly go off the rails and ignore the greater canon for a second and just do some fun whimsical plotless thing in an alternate universe. imagine a fishing/boating game on destiny islands. kh fighting game. it is an injustice that we have been deprived of kingdom karts. can anyone hear me

#in terms of alternate gameplay and lack of reliance on plot #i feel like melody of memory is the closest thing kh has actually had to a spinoff #but even that is important in its own way in the end #union cross to a certain degree as well what with being an online multiplayer gacha type game #its original concept i would definitely classify as a spinoff game #bc it was set in a totally different world and time period and was supposed to be about customization and fun with friends #and nomura or someone said it wasn’t meant to be connected to the plot #but then like. he did very much go and give it a plot. like he went back on that almost immediately #and even then. given that the game is still very much combat and exploration #even from the beginning can it really be called a spinoff? it’s just kh in a different format #i’m talking like a game in which the objective is something totally different.#racing game or cooking game or fighting game or (another) rhythm game #ace attorney style detective game. dancing game. dude i don’t know #there are so many different flavors they could go with here #alas nomura is allergic to genuine whimsy which is hilarious given that this is a disney series #like he apparently was like ‘ohhh should we really let sora in smash? would it make sense in the story?’#my brother in christ surely we’re not supposed to interpret this as canon to kh right? right????#i guess it’s just that the kh franchise has a very specific pristine vibe he wants to maintain #which is disney shenanigans as a seasoning on top of a main dish of Stone Cold Serious Anime Plot #kingdom hearts #kh #mine: kh

My toxic trait is that I think aftg could have been a harem but Neil is demi and too exy obsessed to realise the kind of genre he's in. Like it's giving ohshc. But my boy fought tooth and nail to be in a shounen sports anime, and I mean he won, against the mafia no less. Come on now. Anyway, I will not elaborate on this brainrot.

#aftg #all for the game #i said what i said #neil josten #im mostly saying this because the way Kevin is set up feels like romantic interest #the backstory with Jean and the promised partners #andrew to me is the outlier in the story #the character you need to go under a very specific route to romance #guy hangs about goddamn rooftops like

been wanting to do this template for months and decided to throw all three of The Faves at it ✨

#undertale #toriel #sans #chara #safeutdr #undertale art #holoskart #these were supposed to be finished for the anniversary. as you can see that Did Not Work Out.#trying to imitate a specific style took a lot more time and effort than I accounted for ahah #besides the game sprites I relied on the LINE sticker sets as guides for the shapes and very minimal shading #and since chara has so few appearances to work with I also used the sepia flashback cutscenes and one of frisk's stickers #I had a lot of fun with this challenge!!

Leo being put into a situation where there is absolutely no fighting, just verbal manipulation and perception games, would be amazing to witness. We see a lot in the series how good he is at subterfuge and how he uses his perception to manipulate to great effect, so it’d be so cool to really see it put to the test even more.

Manipulation is one of the most effective tactical strategies of all time, so just imagine Leo putting this skillset of his to the full test. Imagine the boys slowly get up to busting bigger and more powerful criminals, including those with networks of crime under their belt, and a simple fight isn’t enough to take them down. For criminals like this, Leo’s skills in subterfuge would be deadly.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #me back to talking about Leo’s incredibly high affinity for subterfuge #genuinely think it’s one of if not his best and most honed skill #AND IT’S A VITAL NINJA SKILL #above fighting battle tactics and the like #it’s verbal blindspots #Sun Tzu’s The Art of War literally states that “the greatest victory is won without battle’’#and idk I think Leo would be so good at this and we see him do it in the show quite a bit but not to the amount I yearn for #but yeah like just think Leo getting sent in and his bros standing guard #of course he wouldn’t be the ONLY one involved but 100% he’d be the main player #man idk I just really really love when their specific skill sets that ARENT the fighting ones are used it’s so interesting to me #like we already know Leo can easily take in a whole room’s worth of people and know exactly how to avoid them all #we know he can manipulate manipulators into his schemes #we know he’s good at improv which is essential to the games of speech high end criminals like to play #it would be SO INTERESTING #OKAY HEAR ME OUT-#he’s asked by Big Mama to join her at a criminal ball of sorts #she needs to regain power and he needs to take down big name criminals #thus a deal #no but really it’s so cool seeing Leo specifically do his best tactics through thinking like his enemy and predicting how they’d act

ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ᴍᴇ ᴄʜᴏᴏꜱᴇ ↳ anonymous asked: HUSK and ALASTOR or angel and valentino?

#hazbin hotel #husk #hazbin husk #alastor #hazbin alastor #hazbin hotel edit #hazbin edit #radio demon #requested #make me choose #my gifs #dad beat dad #flashing gif #flickering gif #the full ask said ''in whichever way you define'' at the end so #i chose based off of which dynamic i'm more intrigued by. valentino as a villain and as a challenge to angel is REALLY interesting dont get #me wrong here. it's great. but THESE two have a lot of untapped potential for husk specifically #alastor is just there at the moment but HUSK. husk. it really is a mirror to angel's situation - everything wrong in his afterlife is #because of that gamble. but he WAS an overlord. HE was the one doing that horrible shit before. that's INTERESTING!!#he gathered and gambled away souls like money. it was all just a game to him. now HE'S getting his. a sick poetic justice in a way.#i am SO excited to see if they dive into this more!! will he ever self reflect? if he does will we SEE him doing this reflection? will it #be enough to play a part in him choosing to redeem himself? or even decide if redemption is worth the effort? i feel like there's potential #with his dynamic with alastor to influence that big time + his friendship with angel will also be a major factor #also making this set made me realize the hallway scene is like their one major interaction. jfc and it's fucking HORRIFYING lmao #look i loved their pilot interaction/dynamic as much as the next person but this is just. SO much better. more things to explore.#i'm really glad in the end that they were rewritten in this way. A+

okay unironically I love so much that porter is like this world SUCKS its BAD here and it HURTS you why do you care abt it!!! and literally every single bad kid is like ngl we just hate ur ass it does not matter what ur philosophy is

#dimension 20 #fantasy high junior year #not art #fhjy spoilers #its!!! gods I will Be My Ass in the tags rn. but thats so like. deliciously setting typical #like porter's desire is to transcend and his contempt for the world he's in feels. idk Real #like he plays the game bc he wants to win and be done with it. how do I word this #yknow. being a god would like. be his win state. when he gets that happening thats it his story is done he checks out #meanwhile the bad kids do actually just like playing the game lmao. like they love adventuring!#theyre so solidly Of This World. they carry the values that can only be born of it and they like having mastery over it #its a meta angle that I think is very fun specifically for d20 being in such a unique position in the zeitgeist when it first started #the rat grinders are from DnD Writ Large. porter wants to escape. but this is the bad kids' home its Their Actual Play Show #which makes it so fucking excellent to me that porter's question is somewhat of merit! its their show and it tries very hard to punish them #and they just straight up dont listen to him here lmao bc they hate him but! since the moment the academic track ended its been clear #that they save the world bc they Like Playing. With Each Others #thats what riz thinks the core of adventuring is! thats why fig stayed! and I also think thats why this hovers over elmville now and #a dead god is coming back in the school gym. porter is a shit evangelist but even if hes a good one I dont think it wouldve worked like he #wants it to. the only way he couldve escaped is if he'd not involved elmville at all. thats where the bad kids met dude #its a shitty place that fucks with them but they all come back here bc they wanna play with each others #and in that regard I think thats what the stress tokens ultimately means. Is This Game Still Fun To Play. ITS A RAGEQUIT LIMIT #Im literally running from one end to another of this conspiracy board Ive pulled out of nowhere #Ill draw after this I just wanna get this out. gods this episode has done nothing but furthering my delusion of grandeur actually #Im the hottest smartest manthing on earth Im king fucking midas over here. anyways uh! great ep!

I think a big misunderstanding is the power people give Curly to actually change things about the way the pony express operates or could’ve done things on the Tulpar.

We are talking about a company that docks pay for bad synergy despite mandated psych evals that should tell which staff members would work well together, only allots for 5 hours of sleep despite having literally no other tasks to truly do and locks all resources behind the access of one person. The last one is likely to manage resources and make it easier to justify collective punishment and blaming one person for it; someone needs something in “excess” or the captain gives in? It’s all on them your pay is docked. Instant resentment.

It’s insidious how the company works, it’s by design to distract you from coming after them, to force tensions to line their own pockets. With all the restrictions and forced interactions, altercations are bound to happen. 5 hours of sleep a day, limited sources of entertainment, no real tasks… the monotony alone would cause bad cabin fever, mix that with just only one absolute mediator and you get the exact environment that allows shit like in the game to happen.

The idea he could just complain and try to throw his weight around to get them to dig into their pocket for the crews comfort is laughable and misses the predatory and dehumanizing aspect of capitalism the Pony Express represents. Curly was and is still just another asset to them. Being a top show pony doesn’t mean he’s anywhere close to the actual top. He is the top of the working ladder, not whoever’s in corporate, he wouldn’t even be on the bottom step unlike what Jimmy perceives. The resounding recommendations he would get are almost mocking as they throw him out like nothing just like the rest. Being a shitty fucking company, how much do you bet they’d mean anything anyways, especially since he wanted to leave the field all together.

He made a fuss and they didn’t listen, he says he should’ve done more but you can tell he knows it wouldn’t have changed anything. Jobs like this are willing to make a sacrifice if it means even a penny more. Curly makes a bigger fuss they likely would’ve just found an “unrelated” reason to fire him, hired a more pliable guy or, terrifyingly, promoted Jimmy. The company was failing, going to shut down whether anything happened on the ship or not. But knowing that they were shutting down and that everyone, including him, would be out of a job with this being their last paycheck, he had to factor in not destroying the last bit of their financial stabilities combined with every other issue on the vessel and his own. He gets another cryopod or locks and then he has to break to them that they are not only fired but there will be substantial cuts to their paychecks due to the “upgrades” (things that already should’ve been in place on their part) on top of anything else that could be docked along the way.

You can blame him for saying it so early into the trip but then again, if he mentioned it later who’s to say it wouldn’t have been worse? On the capitalism side alone how would people in a galaxy away from home, out of a job and already stir crazy react? Don’t get me started on how Jimmy would have reacted if he realized he only had two days left to fix what would be a very hard to miss “problem” in his head…

I can’t even consider explaining this as devils advocate because it’s just facts of the world we and they live in and factors that heavily affected the situation. People are just so quick to make claims on the ease of the choices when P.E literally makes it hard to choose to do anything but suck it up.

#this is also like a sort of point that while I wanted Curly to do more for Anya I realized he would have to jeaporsiE the crews safety in #some way like if they needed the cryopods one person would be left without one and like it would be curly he’d offer but don’t think any of #them would be happy or feel okay with letting him die over a rapist? he kills Jimmy and now he has to stand trial and be arrested for murder #because it’s not self defense or manslaughter like they could obviously lie but he wouldn’t let them do that in case of a sort of black box #or guilt on their mind specifically with Daisuke who would likely be kept out of the loop not to mention it’s a dead body with a limited #likely recycled air supply so again he’s getting tried for murder and they are down a cryopod #not to mentions again the fact that you need a copilot like I know like aviation law and shit is crazy and like not common knowledge #but you bed a second set of eyes or someone to trade off with so you don’t loose ur concentration or doze and crash #like they don’t just sit their and do nothing like Jimmy probably did some of the time cause Curly likely didn’t want to make him #cause like pissed off and spiteful Jimmy manning the controls even if just helping is not something he wants to deal with and risk their #lives but i digress I genuinely think the biggest flaw of Curly’s in the situation is being a man who could not handle or understand the #emotional gravity of what Anya experienced especially at the hands of someone who he was also #emotonal/mentally mistreated by and wanted to so badly to believe was his friend and improving #like he did not offer her enough or the proper emotional/physical security he could’ve as a captain nor friend but in that it goes right #back to the systems at play that make it so he isn’t meant or supposed to understand so it can’t be perpetuated and blah blah blah how many #times do I have to explain systematic oppression to certain groups in this fandom and it isn’t cut n dry of good guys bad guys and victims #as outliers of the tow categories l #mouthwashing #captain curly #mouthwashing game #curly mouthwashing #the pony express #The Tulpar

Hello again!

Thanks to your fantastic TL4J universe, I have acquired Jedi Survivor! I haven't started playing yet, but I'm excited to! Do you have any words of wisdom for one who has barely played video games? (Btw as always, your art is amazing & I love it so much)

another!! um my words of wisdom are put it on the lowest difficulty possible and make sure you have lots of tissues on hand at all times

#i'd like to consider myself a decent casual gamer like i always play hzd on ultra hard and uncharted 4 on hard mode #but im completely incapable of playing jfo or js on anything except easy-easy mode. i suck so bad at both games #in the next game theyre gonna have to invent a Jedi Youngling setting just for me specifically #thanks for the ask!

Descent.

The first of hopefully a couple fancomics for Hades! I love this game dearly, and I wanted to explore one of the in-game quotes a bit with this. This took me about a month or so of inconsistent work, and I'm pretty happy with it!!

Hope you enjoy :D Explanation in the tags

#the in-game quotes are specifically the first three speech bubbles on pg1 and the very last speech bubble on pg4 #i found them almost kind of ominous because of what they seem to imply about what hades is having meg do #you can hear the quotes when you start a run as a part of one of those pre-run messages #also: given that this is set pre-canon #meg and zag have different designs to make them look younger #meg has fewer piercings and shorter hair #and zag is more covered like his dad's fashion tends to be #also i love achilles can you tell #replacement dad #anyway yeah idk the quote really seemed to imply that hades was trying to make zag “a man” in some fashion #which based on his backstory i assumed thatd be some sort of test of will or strength #thus. this comic #poor zag #he deserves better #hades game #hades game fanart #hades supergiant #hades zagreus #zagreus #hades megaera #hades achilles #achilles #megaera #ALSO i know hand lettering is an amateur move but i couldnt find any good fonts that i liked #so hand lettering it was

✨ 2024 in gifs

tagged by @vanmarkus to show my review of the year for gifmaking! thank you for the tag, lovely! 💖

i wasn't as productive as i wanted to be, and the to-do list i'm taking into 2025 is frankly absurd, but given the stuff i've had to deal with to even be able to gif again i'm happy with what i managed to put out! mostly a foray into 911 (for my sins...) but still squeezing every frame out of doctor who series 2, it seems ✨

tagging just a few people and anyone who wants to do it because this took me ages and it's already practically summer or something now 🫶 no pressure tags: @mobius-m-mobius @hexcoreviktor @crowlixcx @cobbbvanth

#the theme is kind of a cop-out but most of the gifsets were episode ones for him so. nothing specific unfortunately.#also tragic that if i didn't make that gavin and stacey set i'd only have 4 shows this year lmaooo #but yay this is so cute i loved putting this together and using some tricks i hadn't in a while #*laurengifs #usernewbs #tag games #911 #bucktommy #doctor who #good omens

life is hard for us oz fans who are only meh about wicked. have half a meme.

#it's not even that i dislike boq as a character - he's fine. i think galinda is the most intriguing of the musical esp in her relationship #with power and how that relates to her relationships with other people. but boq is fine #i am just SO fucking tired of conflating boq wicked with nick chopper baum books #that's not my tin woodman. and i don't want him to be. nick (unlike many oz characters) has a very specific and set backstory #he has a whole damn book about it ffs #and boq is such a different character in terms of role symbolism and personality that i just cannot see him as even an au version of nick #fiyero too to be completely honest. though his mischaracterization doesn't bother me quite as much bc i read the book and he is rather #intriguing as a separate character - i don't love him in the musical tho. anyways specifically calling boq the tin woodman and saying #all the baum book stuff happened to him is so irritating to me because they are not at all the same. and nick is one of my favorite charas #in any media ever. idk. no hate if you like boq ofc and i don't want to stop you from having fun with the characters #i just am getting tired of the greater oz fandom latching on to wicked as fleshing out the baum or mgm characters. it's an entirely #different world. (and yes we can discuss the fact that wicked is intended to be canon compliant with the 39 film - but once again it's #a stretch to say it fits the charas. and that isn't the issue i have here.)#anyways. sorry. i'm just tired of wicked = boq = nick stuff #esp im annoyed at the fiyero and boq blorbo-ifying i see when the women of this musical are far more interesting and proactive #boq and fiyero are just furniture/pawns in the great drama that is elphaba's life and the way she pulls glinda into it with her #but WHATEVER i DIGRESS and shit. ignore this. whatever #it's the way people attempt to reconcile a lot of non-compliant media into whichever one they like the best. which is all fun and games #i am just being a hater. ok? this is me being a hater.#analysis #wizard of oz #wicked #wicked musical #toast talks oz #toasty talks

"we had such hope... you would understand."

#destiny #destiny 2 #the witness #destinyedit #hey . im still so normal about this scene #i could talk for a while about the setting. colors . lighting. the way the witness is acting with barely restrained fury #their VOICE ACTING #one of many scenes i loved using in my essay about their design #(especially the way their hands are shown to move with that slight 'delay' and yes that WAS foreshadowing)#we dont talk about the glove essay. it IS related but not relevant.#anyway looking at the framing and camera movement of these specific gifs im like. aough. ouggh #when are we exploring a landscape of the witness's realized salvation in-game. when are we learning more about them

the thing is u gotta not be too preoccupied with pleasing other people. u gotta cater to yourself bc that freak shit will inevitably resonate with other people and it'll make you feel so good. stop vying for clout and find your freaks!!!!

#this Thought brought to you by me rereading tales from anaren #i wrote a horror fantasy au for a SITCOM set in a VIDEO GAME COMPANY #and wrote it thinking no one would be interested in this weirdly specific niche #but guess what. people WERE interested #it's got the most comments out of all my mq fics #and it feels So good having people vibe with smth that i made specifically for myself #so write that au. draw that freak shit. let go of the corporate overlord in ur brain
