You know, in MW5 I kinda dismissed the Corsair as a bit of a joke.
Sure, he hits hard a bit when ya don't stare at him, and good fucking luck hitting his head, but it crumples a bit under sustained fire to the torso, and he doesnt exactly have the heaviest of weaponry. Even with my difficulties in the arena mode tryna fight him in a Nightstar, he wasn't impossible.
But oh fucking man. I salvaged an XT1 from one FFA arena mission, so after a ridiculous repair cost cause some madman stuck an XL engine in here, and replacement guns, I took the mech for a spin.
He appears to have taken my bad faith criticisms.. personally.
He stuck to one rock for cover and proceeded to rain hell upon the enemy, ripping some poor Hatchetman a new one with his AC/5-RF and 3 backup AC/2BF's, and severely crippling several assaults while the other mechs in the lance moved in. He occasionally used his backup LRM 5s to poke at unsuspecting mechs, but loved his autocannons more than the salvage we could have gotten by NOT annihilating everything in his wake.
By the time his magazines had finally clicked empty, he began his forward march to glory, holding down his TAG laser and spamming his additonal-backup PPC-X while remaining suprisingly cool.
For reference of that fight, our Highlander HM, had come back with neither of his limbs, as he was in the thick of the fight for most of the arena match.
The Corsair came back with 90 damage out of 576. 90. Fucking. Damage. He came strolling on back with a bruise on his knee compared to the punishment the Highlander endured.
And he laughed the whole way home. Knowing damn well I was wrong. Knowing damn well that the assault-mech sized liability that could, very well fucking did. And came back with empty ammo bins and a shit eating grin on its face. Of course, the mech cannot laugh. Nor does it even have the paint in the rough shape of said aforementioned shit-eating grin.
But I know that groan of myomer and the telltale clanging of a wrench accidentally falling through a gap in the steel, because one of our junior engineers has fucking butterfingers.
He was laughing at me. "Who's not shit now," he mocks. "Who's an assault-sized trashcan now?"
What I still lament about this mech is the fact that it does not have more gun slots. For if you sure as shit aren't going to be civil,
You may as well be efficient.

Dean feeling inferior to Endverse Dean because Endverse Dean founded like 6 different hunter camps and got offered a bunch of territory by a really powerful boss woman with physic powers and therefore got an army.
Just for Dean to then go to Ichabod and charm a powerful boss woman with physic powers to convince an entire trade alliance at the end of the world to give him territory and people to create another hunter base for his army. Under his first year in that world, I must say.
Captain of being oblivious to his own influence AND trying to win competitions against dead versions of himself.
#Dean accidentally deployed his charm like a nuke bomb in Endverse Kansas#I still find it funny that everyone thinks is because he fell in love with Cas and he changed his ways#No that's just Dean#Chitaqua I'm so sorry that you met Dean at his worst first (Endverse Dean) and you only got to know Dean at his best later#but then again they thought Endverse Dean was Dean at his best jshdjdjdj#dta#down to agincourt#dean winchester#endverse dean

not to Girls und Panzer or anything but I think a WH40k Chimera tank that's been taken over by some 13 year old girls would be very funny.
#warhammer 40k#wh40k#and lets pretend they wouldnt mess it up because NOBODY in this setting really knows what they're doing#the girls don't do any worse than people we're supposed to take seriously#boarding school is cancelled forever but the tank that smashed through the wall is just. sitting there. beckoning.#its a horrible setting where there's lots of child soldiers actually#also no 'they die horribly' its MUCH funnier if they just get disabled sometimes and fix it somehow and show up again. and again.#it makes everybody else dying look worse#you wouldn't deploy 6 girls in an iron trench coat would you??? (yes.)#I considered a leman russ but a transport is MUCH funnier. awkward. a bunch of little girls picked you up & they know what they're doing...#its also faster which is comedy by default#rolling up in formation with Ciaphas Cain's salamander on the road with toast in your mouth 'oh no im late for tank class!!'#and he realizes he is 'fleeing' in the wrong direction. again.

i think alpha-17 hates kids in theory but he’s like those guys whose families get dogs or whatever and then he gets really attached. he is definitely not happy about it but he’s attached.
#his kids also either hate each other or are weirdly codependent so he’s just constantly like#“why the fuck is this a thing that is happening to me”#“how dare”#and then when they’re deployed and they still talk to him??#FOUL#he has never been more horrified in his entire life than he was the day cody called him on purpose#a truly horrific experience#and then if they ever meet up again in one place he discovers something awful#which is that they used to fight about stupid shit like who was faster or whatever#and they still do that!#however#now they are also fighting about things like partners and their generals???#and fox is fucking TEXTING THE CHANCELLOR to prove a point#and 17’s just sitting there head in hands like how the fuck did i acquire these stupid cunts#and why are they still here#alpha-17#star wars

good evening it is 2:40am and all I can think about is the fact that Viv and Bucky’s daughter is named Valerie Joyce Egan and that Bucky picked her middle name, because he wanted the word “Joy” to be somewhere in there because of the sheer amounts of it he felt when Viv told him they were having a baby
#and also how . being deployed again while Val is still an infant being his push for a position that will have him in D.C longterm#because long distance and being stationed in different places was easier when it was just him and viv (still unmarried at that point as well#but now. there’s a wife and a baby in the picture .#and he just . he doesn’t want to miss any of it he wants to be there for all of it#ship: viv/bucky

sorry if youve already talked about this but do you have any views on Goose's christianity? I assume with the cross he wears and Carole referencing him going to church that he is christian, im fascinated by how that might affect his character but im not religious at all, i was raised atheist in a mostly atheist country, so the fact that the tg characters might be caught me by surprise, i know thats not statistically correct but i just assume people arent religious until proven otherwise. feel free to speak on this topic in regerds to fhe other tg characters as well or to disregard this ask completely if it doesnt interest u
yeah. Americans were more religious in the 1980s than they are today. By like some order of magnitude. 90% of Americans were Christian in 1986. And the military tends to be more religiously conservative than the general population. So, I don’t mean to correct you, but the more statistically accurate assumption would be to assume that [X American character] is Christian until proven otherwise.
On the other hand. Characters’ relationships with religion is one of those things that is so personal, it’s completely useless to headcanon. it’s like music taste in that way. Goose outwardly presents himself as a Christian & also makes passing references to cheating on his wife. That’s like one of the 10 main things God told you NOT to do. (check out a little thing called “exodus 20:14.”) So it’s pretty useless to infer any relationship with religion because everyone treats religion differently, and goose doesn’t sit us the audience down and explain the exact kind of Christian he is.
Whatever. He’s a dude in the Navy of the 1980s. Religion comes secondary to dudehood. People can be (and frequently are) hypocrites. That’s what makes people so interesting.
There’s this great military line: “There are no atheists in foxholes.” Your moral code gets a little screwy when you’re constantly facing death or the prospect of death.
I think it’s okay not to shy away from the complexity of these characters. You can let Goose be a complex person who is statistically likely to be a conservative Christian who cheats on his wife sometimes and/or lies to her about it. That was, like, a commonly accepted male archetype in the middle of the 20th century. Those guys existed. Top Gun is a military movie. It confers complexity! That’s what military movies do! It’s okay to let bad people be bad people. Their emotional beats can still hit just as hard.
#idk if you’re the person who put the goose stuff in the tags of one of my previous posts about this#but if you are—it’s okay for goose & Carole to have a complicated relationship.#many people in military marriages—hell marriages in general—do.#she can still love him#he can still love her.#he can still be a good dad (again also he is forward deployed from his family so not entirely sure how good of a dad he is from afar)#how much of rooster's life was goose (deployed navy pilot) actually THERE for?#good dad in absentia?#anyway#people are complicated#& often hypocrites and often willfully ignorant#and yes goose is still a 'good character' whom we are supposed to mourn when he dies#it was the 80s.#nick goose bradshaw#top gun#Carole bradshaw

I was gushing about Genesis' design the other day and decided to transplant the whole rant over here because I love how Genesis' whole design makes no pretense about him doing things specifically to make himself look taller, but also more delicate—because he has an aesthetic that he's determined to maintain, but it's a ruse. The whole thing is a ruse. Genesis knows what he looks like, particularly what he looks like compared to the people around him, and he works with it in such a fantastic way it makes me feral.
It's so obvious from an artistic and fashion design perspective that he's trying to give himself a more masculine shape while also trying to look unintimidating in that shape, like he's petite when he's absolutely not—which makes perfect sense when paired with the fact that he's a mage and when he uses a sword it's in very close-quarters combat compared to his peers.
Genesis is trying to look like the least intimidating of the Firsts because it means opponents are more likely to underestimate him and let him get too close, only to realize that he's like 6'3" and can throw a freight truck.
Take the cut of his coat, the way he wears his belt a little low—like he's trying to look taller, but also like he wants you to think that his legs maybe aren't quite that long, like his waist is wider than it is, but his shoulders are narrower. Like his frame is more average, like he lacks the physical capacity to do too much damage compared to his similarly ranked colleagues.
His clothing makes him look less svelte; he doesn't want people to catch that he can be on you in four steps because he's long-legged and limber as fuck. His pauldrons are set low on his jacket, as if he wants them to look slightly too big. Genesis' shoulders and chest are actually pretty broad for his frame, his legs and arms are long and well toned, but he dresses and carries himself in a way that makes it difficult to tell unless you're really looking.
Most opponents won't parse Genesis' build correctly, they won't realize that he's got some beastly upper body strength until he's on them far too quickly and he's grabbed them by the face—and since when were his arms so long?—and flung them across the battlefield.
At a distance, or alongside Sephiroth or Angeal, Genesis doesn't just look delicate, he looks fragile. He looks like you can snap him in half. On his own, though, up close? You're fucked.
#fandom ramble#headcanon warning#kinda#genesis rhapsodos#crisis core#crisis core reunion#ccff7r#final fantasy 7#final fantasy 7 remake#FF7#FF7R#there's a reason that genesis was the one#initially deployed to finish off the war#sephiroth wasn't deployed (again) until after genesis went AWOL#angeal doesn't seem to have been deployed AT ALL until then#he has multiple trainees within Shinra#zack is just the most recent#he obviously hasn't left for a while#angeal may not have been deployed since he made first#shinra sent GENESIS to take down tamblin#to end the war#they knew what they had#what he was capable of#and by GOD they were gonna use it#even if it killed him

realistically I know that Kieran would forgive Drayton for his asshole-ery and they'd be friends again but. the thought of the protag still keeping an immense grudge against him is really funny to me
#leechies rambles#like yeah Callum will tolerate Drayton and try to be friends with him again but the Minute he shows any signs of#being an ass or taking a tease too far#he's got his fists in the air pointed directly at him#death glare being deployed#pokemon dlc

#i do have a couple thoughts on this scene though its embarrassing to admit that they're all based on gacha videos lmao#because generally in videos this is used to document dazais abuse towards akutagawa and im not disagreeing with that#but i feel like its completely disregarded that dazai is genuinely training him here#thats not to excuse him but it is something that makes the scene and his relationship with akutagawa more interesting#because again these videos will either fully gloss over the topic or go incredibly heavy handed on how dazai just hates akutagawa#(but is changing)#but thats not really the case here#dazai is absolutely terrible towards akutagawa but he is absolutely trying to teach him right now#'you aren't deploying your skill quickly enough' 'the enemy wont wait for you to stand back up'#'use your ability to counterattack' 'you cannot survive in the mafia on something so paltry'#dazai doesn't hate akutagawa. he absolutely thinks he has a ton of potential#its just something i find interesting

if i had a nickel for every time anakin got targeted by gross men who pretended to care about him but really only wanted to use him and poison him (physically and then mentally) i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot but, it's weird that it's happened twice.
#⸢ general ⤑ ooc ⸥ deploy the clown nose.#omega and palps... i will strangle you both.#also the pain of reading anakin dealing with the betrayal of omega.#he's all “i'll never let this happen again!!”#buddy.......#give my little guy a break.#i gotta read more of the books. i miss the anakin and ferus love story-#i mean. the plot. i definitely miss the plot.

The Emperor kept going down in the first big fight of the finale and I had to send Astarion aaalllll the way around the courtyard to get him up (Astarion: "I swear...") and I parked my little white elf in front of him to try to block ranged shots but they FIRED OVER HIS HEEEAAADD I was dying it was so dumb. he's so stupid tall and for what. for this 8 Str, 5'9 rogue to look absolutely silly in front of. I love this game
#bg3#bg3 spoilers#my nonsense#I think I'll do better next time I'm not used to his move set for obvious reasons but I made MANY errors in how i deployed him#sorry king#i wish i could give him his sick sword and armor back. i literally have it and no one is using it ://#i normally don't spend much time getting people up . it tends to be a waste of an action because at one hit point#they generally IMMEDIATELY go down again#no I don't have healing spells thanks for asking <3#but The Emperor's icon doesn't TELL you whether he's passing his saves???#and i was afraid the game would just like. end. if he died.#like genuinely where do you go from there#so anyway

Thinking abt. Mulligan again....
#He's a fantastic soldier. He could never be a soldier. Ranged combat is his second-highest stat. He's never fired a gun.#Always carries his dog tags. Never wears them.#Ran away from the army but if caught he would immediately accept whatever punishment they gave him.#Actively seeks out lonely wives/girlfriends of deployed soldiers so he can give them comfort and attention (and great head).#Mulligan#Wants so badly to start drinking again but not as badly as he wants a reason not to.
