I don’t have a super cohesive take on this, but I have been thinking about FCG and Ashton’s relationship, and, like. Hrm.
Ashton’s convo with Laudna where they talk about how they have to keep FCG from getting the group killed. Ashton doesn’t talk to FCG about this. Ashton has never asked FCG why they behave this way or explained any of his reasons why he thinks they should behave differently. Ashton doesn’t ask and he doesn’t explain, he just kinda feels like he has to handle FCG, like. Ashton has never gone as hard on “FCG is a person” as, say, Imogen, but they definitely believe that he’s a person. I just kinda don’t think they think FCG is their equal.
Ashton and FCG are both people who struggle to let people in. FCG outright said this to FRIDA when they were walking to Jaquoby’s, he has been so invested in figuring himself out that he hasn’t let people know him. Ashton’s been so afraid of being abandoned that he’s kept everybody at arms length, including MIlo who saved their life and has been nothing but friendly and supportive of them for years. There’s a clear affection between them, but both of their issues bar them from a genuine understanding or strong connection.

I keep thinking about this jmart exchange and how like... of course Jon would know the way out of the Lonely. He's been experiencing such alienation, such loneliness all throughout his life and especially in S4, where he was stripped away of what he used to know and became one of the very monsters he was so afraid of and hates.
And yet because he loves Martin, he found a way out of his personal loneliness. He knows the way out, and the way out is through love. I don't think Jon would have been able to get out of the Lonely if Martin wasn't around, because Jon wouldn't have an anchor (in the parallel of Martin leaving tapes for Jon to navigate out of the Buried) nor a reason to ("Yes Martin, you are my reason.")

Flower Empowered.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#wei wuxian#lan wunian#The absolute chaos that ensued when Lan Wangji showed up...those girls went wild.#We have to give kudos to narration that takes the form of a bunch of suitor seeking ladies.#They were so loud about being here for the hotties and whispering gossip. You go girls.#Wei Wuxian most likely just picked up a already tossed flower to throw. Second hand flowers...are still flowers I suppose.#Can you imagine if LWJ had allergies? Poor lad.#Okay it's time for the real gritty discussion point. The one everyone is waiting for me to talk about:#So...from where we are in the timeline...what the hell is WWX supposed to be wearing?#I'm serious. Put all the fanart out of your brain for a moment.#We are post burial grounds and sunshot campaign so he's had his little goth moment reveal.#*BUT* he is still with the Jiang sect. And by proxy of this flashback talking about his disrespect - they never bring up his attire.#meaning he is likely in some kind of Jiang Purple.#Continuity wise it really feels like this scene should have been *before* the burial mounds.#I understand why it's post - we need to build up on the mystery of how he became the YLLZ.#But also his personality feels way more 'pre-burial mounds WWX'. I think this was probably a 'I don't want to kill my darling' scene.#(The Phoenix mountain flashback is a lot of people's 'darling'. I am knowingly putting myself in the line of fire here).#I'm willingly putting him in Wen Qing's borrowed cloak and assuming people take him wearing it as like...a war trophy.#Historians will revise this moment later on but for now he *is* a hero of that war.

Had another one of "YOU HAVE TO DRAW NOW" moments
Tumblr media
I actually did the scene above on my second try of the battle, lv 90 doesn't exactly make it easy to lose
Tumblr media
Also I think it's time to show those sketches too
The Siffrin practice once more, but this time a bit earlier
Also first try on figuring Loop's full body ref too
Tumblr media
Also this little thing, not as polished as digital would've been
Imagine my reaction when I accidentally gave Loop a flower after trying already and they accepted it. I adored that 'yeah we won't speak of this, but I accept your stupid flower' scene more than anything and it was pure text after little scene

what i love about neal caffrey is how damn smart he is and that he actually has very little formal education. he's a high school drop out and he's an expert in everything he does. he's one of the most skilled artists in the world – he can perfectly replicate any painting or sculpture he looks at, he can sell any story or product you can name. he can read even the most stone-faced people. he's a genius prodigy in like 20 different areas of expertise.
and it's all so fun until you think about it too deeply. until you start thinking about young over-achiever Neal whose mom doesn't notice him no matter how hard he works or how well he does. eighteen year old homeless neal who needs to be good at everything just to get by.
he's so intelligent, and so emotionally intelligent, and it's just like. okay i'm projecting but. it's so neurodivergent abused/neglected kid. intelligence to him is survival. and it's also how he seeks attention and approval.
that point makes his relationship with peter even more sad – at first, Neal rejoices in the attention, Peter chasing him, the fact that he's good enough at what he does to be a wanted man. but, it's still not the kind of attention he actually wants. like. at first, attention is attention, acknowledgment of his skill is acknowledgment of his skill. but. so often when Peter acknowledges how smart neal is or how good he is at doing something, it's with suspicion or accusation. and that makes me so sad lol

Today being the last day of 3ds online has me feeling very nostalgic and wistful. I love the switch but it does not have the magic of the 3ds. It's not just about dual screens, it was the accessibility. It was less expensive, more portable, had more cheap games you could play with your friends, and a lot of people underestimate just how fantastic some 3ds games are. Streetpass alone was a phenomenon, and along with 3ds menu themes, illustrates a sort of magic that I feel nintendo has been losing sight of since the switch.
With the way games are going in the modern day (higher price tags and system reqs, tons of focus on AAA titles, people needing graphics to be absurdly good for no practical reason), I find myself latching onto my older games more and more. Sure, some of it is a nostalgia-tinted lens, memories from a happier and simpler time of life. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing.
Even after the online services go down, I'll always be playing my 3ds until the hardware breaks to unusability and I can't find another one. I'll play locally with my friends whenever we can. I lament how things must change, but I go on anyway. Here's to my favorite console ever made, may it never really die.

Thinking about giving the option for the MC to start chapter 3 just like "fuck you guys im staying somewhere else" and letting them switch who they're staying with.
They could just "move out" of Ravi's and into Jay's, or vice versa...but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to let them stay with Beck or Perri for a bit. More than anything because I think it would be extremely funny.

It was so iconic of Sega and Sonic Team to create a doppelganger character for sonic who looks like an evil version of him, hype him up for months and leave people speculating on if he was a clone or an evil twin of sonic
And then reveal that actually he and sonic have 0 cannonical connection and them looking alike is just a funny lil coincidence
But then be like "oh btw hes related to eggman"

It still amazes me the number of people who see the juxtaposition between Nami and Usopp during Wano and their fight against Ulti as "Nami's devotion to Luffy is unmatched, unlike Usopp's" when she isn't able to say he won't be the king of the pirates but Usopp is telling her to lie.
I think most people don't have in mind, either, that Usopp isn't the one being directly asked. He is looking out for Nami and begging her to lie to keep her alive because he is scared to death they might lose her for something as insignificant as lying. For him, lying is a form of survival and it is not that big of a deal because he trusts Luffy enough to tell Nami to lie about her feelings. It is something that will only stay between them because he knows it is better to lie than to die and Luffy would want it that way too.
And that doesn't mean he isn't loyal to Luffy or his dream. He is just looking out for Nami's safety. And as I said-- He isn't being asked directly, either. It is easier to tell others to lie about something of the sort than to do it yourself, and if the roles were reversed I personally think he'd have the most awful of times with it too.
Nami refuses to say Luffy won't become the king of the pirates because for her, even if lying has gotten her out of messes, she puts her trust and loyalty in Luffy before her own instincts of survival because lying is what got her to push them away when they first met and this is the one thing she can't lie about because it would hurt more than death.
Then again, I think she would do the same exact thing Usopp did if she wasn't being the one asked. It is the whole point of the scene, actually. They both know the most rational thing is to lie so the one witnessing the scene will always be cold-headed about it, but the one having to lie is the one suffering the bitter realization of how lying about this and saying it out loud is way harder than it seems from an outsider's perspective.
So I am tired of seeing people criticizing Usopp for his decision during the fight against Ulti as if it were that easy for him to see Nami being about to get killed if she doesn't lie. Sorry for the guy to actually want to protect the people he loves instead of letting her be reckless and basically kill herself freely for telling a truth even Luffy would tell her to lie about if it meant living.

[A sad violin song plays over an image of a sad hamster]
Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?
Tumblr media
[ Transcript continued ↓ ]*
Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.
Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!
Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.
* NOTE: Please note that this is an incomplete transcript, as I was primarily relying on Aypierre's translation mod at the time and if I am not confident of the translation, I do not include it. As always, please feel free to add on translations or message me corrections.
#Pactw#QSMP#Pac#March 18 2024#As much as I love keeping people updated about Pac / the other Portuguese-speaking creators#I think I might not make as many transcribed posts for their clips anymore#I just don't think I'm qualified enough to be transcribing things for a language I don't know#like yeah we have the Qlobal Translator and Aypierre's translators to rely on#And I'm always upfront when I'm not 100% sure about a translation#but I've been thinking about it a lot and it kinda makes me feel a bit icky. Idk.#I might be overthinking this but I just I don't want to spread around translations I'm not super confident about#esp. since I know a lot of people cite my clips in analysis posts or link them to other people as resources#and 90% of the time I'm like ''Hell yeah I love seeing people getting a lot of use out of the archive''#but sometimes I get a bit anxious like ''Did I do a good enough job translating this''#''Am I ruining someone's entire perception of a conversation or character because I left one word out or mistranslated something?''#And like I said that's normally not a HUGE concern since if I'm not certain about a translation I just won't post a clip. but you know#idk it might just be the anxiety talking but I really really don't want to spread bad info#Happy to hear other folks' perspective#I'm really grateful for people like Bell and Pix and others who translate clips and I always try to reblog those#but we don't have a ton of people posting clips & translating things on Tumblr since we're so English-centric#which is part of the reason WHY I like sharing clips of the non-English-speaking CCs#but at the same time I want to do an accurate job representing what they're saying#Maybe I'll just start posting things and give a TLDR context of what they're talking about but not a transcript#that way native-speakers can hop in and add translations if that's something they're comfortable doing#and if not then well. at least I'm not sharing something that isn't super accurate#idk I'm just thinking out loud a bit in the tags#But I'm open to hearing other people's thoughts on the matter#Anyways giant rant aside. q!Pac is NOT doing ok rn
