I completed Inscryption and my favourite part of the game was watching P03 plug its cable into things for card modification.

I'm not ready to shut up about Aveline and Carver--so, when you go see Aveline in Act 1, you can catch up with her a little bit and that's where this conversation can happen:

Aveline: "It's just one more change, though. The real end for me was Ostagar. What about you, Carver? You were there. Do you feel something similar?" Carver: No. Aveline: All right, then. Bit of a tit, your brother.

I wanted to see what she would say if Carver isn't in the party. Instead, she says this:

Aveline: Carver was there. I imagine he feels something similar. If he allows it.

......well, at least she didn't call him a tit?

considering the historical influences in the fashion of Dishonored (and the extent of nsfw fanfiction this fandom has) I’ve been thinking about the layers that would be, realistically, part of the daily dress

which means: dishonored seems to honour the importance of a vest in a properly dressed gentleman’s or lady’s wardrobe

vests were, and I cannot stress this enough, a mandatory part of an outfit, to the point of men wearing only vests if they could not afford a fully tailored suit (trousers + vest + jacket) and a new shirt and opting to only wear a fake collar under the vest for the illusion of a full outfit

shirts were underwear, so to speak. there were no occasions in ‘polite society‘ where one could only wear a shirt without a vest on top.

this is something we see mirrored in both dishonored games, though the style of the vests and clothing have somewhat changed, they still follow the same rules of vests worn with every outfit, as far as we can tell. (we could argue that Jessamine is not wearing one, or that some higher class women aren’t wearing vests under their buttoned up jackets, but since we don’t really see underneath we can’t judge.)

we see the vests be worn even by the Whalers in the first game (which in itself brings up many questions. are whalers, the actual whalers that capture and kill whales, held in high enough regard by the society that they made a vest part of their uniform? or is it merely something that is worn by all? something that every citizen of sound mind would don, were they to leave their house?)

there are a few exceptions to this, of course, but this whole thing came to be by asking a simple question

does the Outsider wear a vest under his leather jacket?

now, in the first game, his jacket is unbuttoned just enough for us to get a good enough peek at what lies beneath. which is to say: there is no hint of a vest underneath. judging by the vests in the first game, the fashion was that the vest would go up high, often covering collarbones or even having a standing collar. what we see on the Outsider is just... an unbuttoned shirt

it’s much the same in the second game, even if we examine his final concept art, his outfit consists of a shirt (more or less underwear) with most of the top buttons unbuttoned, and a jacket on top. no hint of a vest underneath

what I’m trying to say is that the Outsider is a slut

Most annoying advertising trend is "the new [existing media]!!!" because maybe 7 times out of 10 it's doing a disservice to both the new and old thing

where could i possibly watch the old motogp races? just came across your list for newbies and wanted to give it a try. have a nice day!

there's probably a more organised post about places to watch old races that somebody could link anon to - but if you don't have videopass, youtube is a good place to start. motogp has a playlist of full races, even if it somewhat annoyingly doesn't actually include all the races they've uploaded. I've been thinking of going through the races uploaded to youtube, writing up a post with say two to three lines about each race and how much I'd recommend it, as a bit of a more accessible resource than the existing recs lists - if that's something people would find useful, give me a shout. for now, for this rec list, from the eleven main races I included all but austria 2017 and phillip island 2023 are available on youtube - and for phillip island 2023... look, if you google 'motogp full race replays' you will very easily find a site where you can watch all of the more recent races

for the races at the bottom of that post, here are the ones available if you type them into your youtube search bar:

phillip island 2004 is available on facebook rather than youtube (god knows why), mugello 2005 is like..? almost completely available, but a bit of the start has been chopped off I think. psa: phillip island 2003 is also available. laguna 2011 isn't, but the best bit of the race is: the insane overtake casey does on jorge into the most terrifying of blind corners. generally, the youtube picks from the motogp account aren't a terrible jumping off point, though there are a few odd inclusions. hope that helps!

something something. haymitch himself likely being aspec alongside his well-agreed bisexuality. i reach for demiromantic because it's 1. both a label i use and 2. in my writing and in my perception of him, i can really see it. i think he'd be teetering on and off of apothisexual (asexual who's sex repulsed) & and then being apath.

he's been in his whole social solitary confinement for what we as readers can assume long enough that we don't hear of haymitch's connections outside of the victors. he is purposely without a lover, without children. i interpret this as voluntarily celibate because i find that haymitch is such a sentimental man, and so empathetic to the extent of fearing any connections in which will put anyone he loves in danger. so he avoids long-term relationships when he can, avoids intimacy. avoids the possibility of children because of the reaping and his status as victor. the only people who may be exempt from this are fellow victors (hence why i usually mention chaffnathy.)

despite haymitch's good looks, which katniss does comment on, and despite his riches — he doesn't pursue anyone. that might because his alcoholism has him fall out of favor to some, but that also may be because he has a habit of pushing others away. if he refuses to allow anyone in the house to clean, then he definitely refuses to have anyone indulge in his romantic life (with the offhand exceptions.) i never see anyone consider how lonely haymitch forces himself to be, and the impact of that.
