i think they should reaaaally dive into mark and oliver's beef in the adaptation i think they should be having a screaming match and mark should grab oliver's arm a little too hard and scare himself half to death because without the proper restraint he could easily turn into the spitting image of his dad ^_^
#invincible comic spoilers#is this too mean? sowwy. but it's just like#how freaking wild would it be to hear your new brother start spouting the exact same 'human life is worthless' rhetoric#that your dad did when he beat you to near-death and ran your body through a train killing dozens of people?? THATS CRAZY......#i think mark should go a little feral at that i think he should almost do something he regrets but holds back at the last minute#i think it would support the Themes.#invincible#willow whispers

Based on a real group chat convo (I was Jingyi)
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jin ling#lan jingyi#lan sizhui#bonus comic#ok in my defense I was late to the convo *and* they were posting pictures of the elements (both rocks/metals!!)#my brain saw it and went “oh!! cool rocks!! I wanna pick my favourite too”. Little did I know the pie was rapidly approaching my face.#I like to think this trio makes up fun little codenames for missions. because it’s fun.#In the end they made him choose one of the elements that started with A so they could be ABC#what is the point of a group chat if*not* to set a theme and become a different power trio each month?#these three personalities in a group chat with nickname power would be chaos to watch tbh....its what they deserve#shout out to the besties who let me turn our group chat shenanigans into a comic.#they dont understand mdzs but they support my enthusiasm.#gonna put this one after the basketball comic so we go from 'balling' to 'getting dunked on'#I have elemental codenames for a good chunk of the mdzs cast but I'd love to hear other ppl's thoughts too B*) come on fellow science nerds#Maybe even tell me *your* elemental code name! For the fun of it

do you have any thoughts on zelda not staying as a dragon? me personally I like it and am very cool with it mostly because I think zelda should get to be happy forever (and because I'm smart enough to know she changed back because of recall and not some ambiguous power of love lmao) but a lot of people seem to dislike that it made the draconification inconsequential?
i think there's like. some valid concerns surrounding inconsequentiality/"curing" the physical problems characters have as a way of giving them a "happy ending" but I think those concerns don't necessarily apply to totk in the way people seem to be applying them, especially irt zelda's draconification and link's arm.
most of the time when the criticism of this "magic cure" trope is applied to media, it's because the trope is used as a cure-all to erase a character's suffering or trauma and make them "normal" again, and often ignores the character development or themes of the story in favor of giving the character a happy ending. I don't think that applies to totk, though, because the "curing" link and zelda experience is both within the realm of possibility given the worldbuilding present in the game (recall could easily have done it, as you mentioned) AND thematically consistent with the rest of the game. One of if not the most important central themes of totk is the idea of failure and second chances. we see a hyrule that has been given a second chance after link's initial failure with the calamity brought it to the brink of destruction. we see characters who were deeply unhappy and entrenched in the shame of their precalamity mistakes like purah and zelda become active, beloved members of their communities. we see the people of lurelin village take back and rebuild their destroyed home. we watch this kingdom and its people make an unprecedented comeback after a century of struggle and ruin.
Similarly, totk's gameplay is LINK's second chance, his comeback from the initial mistake of losing zelda, of specifically being unable to reach her with his injured hand when they fell. The consequences of that--the master sword's corruption, the loss of his arm, and zelda's draconification, are all supposed to SEEM irreversible, because that's how LINK initially sees them. he believes that he doomed both himself and zelda all because of that SINGLE moment in which he wasn't enough, a viewpoint which is obviously left over from the pressure he experienced to perform to an impossible standard of perfection pre-calamity. The story of totk is about deconstructing that belief and proving it wrong. the mistake he made caused harm, but it's never too late to repair things. he can fix the regional phenomena ganondorf causes and rebuild those communities. he can revitalize the master sword. he can GET ZELDA BACK, with his own arm, uninjured and able to reach her this time. no matter how impossible those things may initially seem, no matter the perceived finality of his mistakes and their consequences, there is always hope. there is always a second chance. no one person's single mistake can doom an entire kingdom for eternity. the fate of hyrule was NEVER resting on link's shoulders alone. he was never their final hope. there was always going to be an after. the whole POINT of the draconification and the loss of link's arm is that they AREN'T final. they ARE inconsequential, because they were born of one mistake and ONE MISTAKE IS NOT THE END ALL.
#like. think about the message the game sends if zelda stays a dragon. we are saying that link CAN'T come back from this mistake.#that one single split-second moment in which he made the wrong move because he had no way of knowing what to do#means that the one person who understands and supports him above all else. the one person who shares his experience and his trauma#the woman he LOVES. is gone forever with no hope of return ever and it's 100% his fault.#that's not true to the themes of botw OR totk. these games are about growth and healing and second chances.#this game was link learning that he gets a second chance. that no move he makes is the final be-all-end-all fuckup.#it removes the pressure and that's the POINT. for a character like link whose life has been DEFINED by pressure#who was taught from a horrifically young age that any wrong move on his part would KILL EVERYONE HE KNEW AND LOVED#this is such an important lesson to learn. removing that pressure/showing him that it was never actually real in the first place#is a crucial step towards healing for him.#asks#zelda analysis#totk spoilers#like i like the idea of lasting consequences dont get me wrong. <draconic features zelda enjoyer#but like. making link keep the fucking rauru arm rubs me the wrong way. the whole point is that he caught her with his own hand in the end#ugh. anyway. you get the idea

something that is like the baseline of amys entire character to me is that shes lonely. shes clingy and physically affectionate in a way none of her friends really are, shes always getting pushed aside and left behind. yeah, she helps out people she doesnt know because shes a nice person, but also, she sees part of herself in them. she wont leave someone else behind because she knows the feeling —and more importantly, hates the feeling. if she doesnt have somebody to stand by her and be there for her, then shes going to be that person for everybody else. something something her obsession with sonic is really just like a manifestation of that desire for closeness with someone, and she thinks that romance is the only way to get that. idk... this hedgehog can have so many abandonment issues.
#me posts#amy rose#sth#sonic the hedgehog#and this is not to say at all that romance is the only way to have 'real' love or anything#just that yknow part of her breaking free of that would also be realizing that she just wants closeness with someone and it doesnt-#-have to be romantic#aroace amy could fit this i suppose and she just doesnt know it yknow. thats not my hc but i support their beliefs if that makes sense#she wants to be loved and she wants to love and she doesnt really get a big outlet for that so she shares it with everyone she sees#also i didnt wanna jam up the post but GAMMA!! this is partially abt gamma she helps him find out how to love and how to find joy in it-#-bc its what she wants for herself. she sees him and sees how completely alone he is and she wants to help him. idk idk something something#-when she was locked in the cell she saw part of herself staring back at her#gamma parallels to amy is SLEPT ON i stg i could make a whole other post about it#idk.. whenever im writing amy or just thinking abt how shed interact with others its always from the lens that she craves closeness with-#-others. she wants people to just stay for once.#does this make any sense. idk man im rambling here#my worst nightmare is characterizing her wrong its such a fine line and sometimes the words do not come out of my brain right#btw this is NOT me dissing amy i love amy. she is like top three favorite character.#important context: im typing this with amy firefox theme rn ok. ok im an amy fan.#she points at the minimize button like shes telling me to log off#jesus christ i just scrolled back up i love to put a whole other post in the notes dont i

Recent discussions has me wondering if it would be feasible for fallen london to apply content warnings to its stories. Horror is inherently a genre that has upsetting themes and is meant to make you uncomfortable, and I'm making no moral commentary on including themes - but for viewers it can be helpful and adjustable to have access to. They already have some warnings in game in certain places, like with Jack of smiles case, and in Evolution after feedback was sent in about the very intense body horror scenes.
But I think other things would be worth warning for. When cult themes are involved in Exceptional stories, or a prominent example, I think the very heavy nonconsent and forced pregnancy themes of Light Fingers *really* would benefit from a warning.
I fully understand that content warnings can't cover everything, and there's the matter of spoilers and when and where. Not to mention resources it would take with how many exceptional stories there is that are out. But I think having it as an optional viewing before playing something would be could for people to look at ahead of times. I know Black Tabby Games website has a seperate page on their website listing content warnings for their games, per chapter, which I found a very useful resource. Something like that could be advantageous
In the meantime, I do say my appreciation to fellow fans who take the time to warn for things.
#i know not everything can be covered#but i do think basic things like non consent and gore would benefit from the matter#please dont mistake this for me saying it shouldnt be in the game - im a huge supporter of dark themes. i just think warnings would be nice#to help pick and choose and mentally prepare#anyway i might send a feedback email at some point im just pondering#fallen london

genuinely admire those who were optimistic for dishonored 3 but in this videogame industry climate and [insert a 4hr video essay about arkane's recent history here], honestly, not getting dh3 is good news
#dishonored#arkane studios#i know its silly to meme when the take is nuanced#and i admit that blade is one hell of an aesthetic. but i'm sitting out of this#somewhat being a hater yes. but that is because i am a lover#i dont think its pointless hater-ing though to be critical of something i wish i could love more#my takeaway from arkane is that its better to be not a fan of a company. a company does not make games#a company's staff does. and those staff need to be treated well and given budget and breathing room to make good things#and i have my doubts about that at the moment. very well documented and supported doubts#if arkane is given AAA budget to make a game. it probs wont be another dh. except maybe a remake bc those are 'safe' bets.#ie. dh1 remastered would sell#judging by doto and even dh2 (which i loved even tho its flawed). i dont think arkane really 'get' why dh1 was magical#so im not sure that a third in the series could necessarily recapture it#especially as theyve confirmed they're closing the drawer on the current overarching plotline#this is the hater corner celebration! i am pouring you a drink! [pres why does this look like blood?] we like themes n motifs here!#pres rants in tags#anyway mutuals lets make a fan edition of dh3 for shits n gigs

This is not a criticism of people who make Kirby merch from memes!
But as someone who likes the entire franchise and it’s many characters other than Kirby, this is simply an observation I’ve made lately as a regular patron of artist alleys in the United States lol
#I don’t even see much Dedede or Meta Knight merch even#I’ve found one Bandana Dee charm in the#past year#maybe I’m going to the wrong conventions haha#but even the event I went to that was specifically kirby themed was maybe 50% edgy kirby memes#and 50% kirby alone on his warp star#I do not enjoy seeing Kirby with human body parts at all tho hahaha#maybe I can fill that market in my local artist events one day hehehe#I would just love to see one Magolor charm in the wild at a big convention in my state#or even one dedede or one dream team!#I haven’t even seen a meta knight yet! much to think about#anyway support your local artists no matter what the product they still work hard to make them!!#jojo rambles#Kirby series#art#kirbysona#tw blood#tw body horror#just in case#ask to tag#:)#Jojo T Schmo

I like to think that the Cocoa Puffs become the local cryptids in camp. Everyones making ghost-busting gangs trying to figure out the little guys for the first few months but then after that its just their friendly neighborhood ball of trauma. They scatter like dandelions across the camp grounds and it becomes commonplace to find one chilling under a bed or hiding in a boat or stuck in a tree. Sometimes they’ll steal food just for fun. They’re untameable.
There are exactly 2 ways to make a Puff go somewhere and thats by either a) having a really bad time with an emotion such as grief, anger, loneliness, etc and becoming enough of a catnip to the Puff embodying that emotion that they’ll follow you around like a storm cloud, OR, the more popular option, b) getting Will Solace himself to wolf whistle, which immediately prompts every single Puff in existence to scramble out of the woodwork like cockroaches and zoom towards him at top speeds. Nico doesn’t know if he should find it cute or be offended.
#tsats#the sun and the star#nico di angelo#will solace#solangelo#pjo#percy jackson#cocoa puffs#cacodemons#camp half blood#headcanons#ideas#pjo headcanons#text post#the puffs are very much nicos trauma but i think it'd be interesting if they could recognize similar feelings in other campers#and thus would follow them around if they were ever having those emotions. specifically the ones who are more open abt their trauma#there was a theme in the book about nico helping others by just being himself! his puffs can kinda help by being like#tiny emotional support traumas. like yeah maybe they dont make the person feel much better but its easier to get through it#when they have a little emotional support blob. or maybe the puffs just accidentally make it all worse and sort of feed off those emotions#but thats alright because then their friends can tell when somethings wrong and the puffs arent offended when theyre shooed off#once the person is comforted and calms down the puffs eventually just kinda wander off sensing there is no food anymore. their job is done#theyre physical forms of grief and theyre nicos but fck it its fantasy i can mess with them how i want and it think its cute n interesting#mostly i just love the idea of the puffs getting so attached to will he can just Summon Them like hunting dogs#YES will has sonic awful whistling but i think it would be funny if there was 1 whistle that made all the puffs get the zoomies towards him#i think itd be even funnier if this was found out purely on accident. will wasnt even like whistling under his breath he was just like#being a cringe boyfriend & jokingly wolf-whistled at nico. to which the puffs all BOLTED at him before nico could kill him#call that a new line of defense

one of the things about Orin that fascinates me is how she definitely is a dedicated bhaalist, but not nearly as dedicated to bhaal and how that's shown in a bunch of little (many unintentional) ways! her outfit being red instead of the traditional bhaalist black (or that weird bronze/gold some bhaalist armor gets), her title of the Red given to her not by bhaal nor fellow bhaalists, but by her cognate doppelgangers, the jewelry she shares with her mother but is worn by no other bhaalists, etc.
even before she says "I did all this for [Sarevok]!" and finding her Helena's corpse in Orin's room even after her mother attempted to kill her, a fact which she is clearly and justifiably caught up in, you can still see the breadcrumbs leading to the fact she is primarily driven by her more direct familial connections instead of her god
#how much she is aware of this is of course a matter for debate but i lean towards it being an unconscious thing#do i think bg3 intended her outfit being red as an allusion to this? no. but i am choosing to interpret it that way anyway#this is why despite not liking her outfit like at all i do think her outfit shoul still be red#(also it would be a shame to have a character called the red and not dress her in red)#(...or white i suppose but that wouldnt work too well with the bhaal theming and wouldnt be as striking in a video game medium)#orin the red#i realize this is all likely obvious stuff i just like talking about my girl okay.#not mentioned in the post but i also think this applies to *some* of her values as well#bhaal is not exactly object to incest but the revelation of her birth is still deeply horrifying and worldshaking to her#(granted! so is sarevok ordering helena to kill her but i got the impression that was more due to him claiming he supported her—#—and not telling her about his involvment in the biggest betrayal of her life)#and given her title she evidently spent some time among doppelgangers/changlings*—i wonder how much?#*yeah i know doppelgangers and changlings arent the same thing but alas. i do not think larian is.#bg#01#anyway tldr: fuck everyone else larian tell me more about orin's childhood. please. please ple#also tell me iron throne opinions. there is NO WAY she is not even a little pissed at gortash for using that right. right.#incest mention#(in the tags)

about reinhard choosing to support felt as the next king...
ok so i was thinking about it again lately and i wanted to talk about this bc reinhard Makes the choice to support felt in the royal selection, and i think its interesting bc reinhard seems like the complete Antithesis to felt’s goals being to Destroy the Current System of Lugunica. reinhard is specifically the sword saint, meaning he’s been. psychologically brainwashed and conditioned since he was a child to obey the kingdoms orders otherwise there will be Grave Consequences. reinhards whole Thing is that he HAS to obey the government. he barely has any wriggle room for choices of his own because he HAS to play his role. because of his power, he cant even go into other countries without explicit permission AND the collar of submission, which diminishes his powers somewhat but is also an Extremely harsh reminder of his role as the “monster who kills monsters”... like the government LITERALLY has him on a leash with a collar that goes around his neck.
but then reinhard decides to support felt - the royal candidate that Very Much wants to destroy the government and redo it all from scratch. if felt wins, she’ll be crushing the very system that has reinhard and all earlier generations of his family in a chokehold. even if he doesn’t Fully achieve freedom with felt winning, he’d still be More Free than he is now with the current state of lugunica, especially when felt cares for him and wants the best for him. of course reinhard wants to support her. the system failed his family, and it also failed felt and so many other innocent people. even though reinhard is forced into his role as a hero, at his core he’s also just someone who Wants to help others and save people. that’s why he agrees with felt - or at least, that’s my theory on his personal thoughts regarding supporting felt to be the next king. because reinhard KNOWS that as the sword saint, his choice of candidate is going to have a lot of weight to it. and then he chooses FELT. over all the other candidates.
and. on a slightly off topic note but. felts goal is to start over the whole country from scratch. you could Also say she.
wants to start over from zero.
#rezero#felt#reinhard van astrea#I JUST. I JUST THINK FELT WINNING WOULD BE IN LINE WITH THEMES. I LOVE EMILIA CAMP AND ANA CAMP BUT I JUST THINK. I JUST THIMK. AND ME WHEN#FICTIONAL ANARCHIST CHARACTERS....#and like. i always thought reinhard choosing to follow felt is so interesting.#like mmmm the character most controlled by the government choosing the anarchist? HM.#go offf reinhard.... support ur anarchist bff....

a persona inspired ttrpg would fuck so hard
#i feel like it’s generally not too complicated to make an rpg into another kind of rpg#p4 style would be especially fun if you let that person control the shadows in their dungeon#i think the setting/mechanics/theming of personas and shadows and half dungeon crawler half social sim is just fun as hell#and i like ttrpgs. though i’ve unfortunately not had much experience playing them#to accommodate a group playing i’d probably make the slink system work more like fe supports#man someday i’d love to sit down and hash it out#rambles

i know (or rather, i think) everyone focuses on the everlasting trio's dynamic when thinking of the no one knows au, because, well. obviously. but in my experience all i think about is how it furthers the whole theme of loneliness and estrangement that danny has.
like imagine all his life, even in his younger years, danny has been outcasted, or at least been seen and/or labeled as "weird" (probably because of his "geeky" obsession with space or whatever (something something neurodivergent symbolism)).
but hey, at least he has friends he can connect to right?? well hahahhah NO, because he got ghost portal'd and has become a rarity, an abomination, with nearly no one who has the same experience as him. there is no one who he can share his secrets to, no one who can relate to him.
now, he's truly, utterly alone.
#ary talks#was thinking that this would be a neat theme for danny's character to have#but then i realized that he has sam and tuck#(admittedly i got disappointed. sorry danny i love seeing my faves in despair and/or distress)#but THEN. i realized that the no one knows au exists. now this au has become my personal canon#like what?? an actual support system???? not in this house#hehehe get destroyed by crushing loneliness my little ghost boy#…this doesn't reveal anything about my psyche right.#danny phantom#dp#danny fenton#sam manson#tucker foley#no one knows au

ok but. as much as i love nghy and nagisa, i think he’s kind of dumb (relationship-wise). like, in sukiuso, he says “you’ll always be a heroine”, and all but says that he always found her cute
but then in kimikawaii, he’s going on about how cute hiyori had become, and that he’s not the one who made her become cute, which. y’know, is kinda odd, considering how he always found her cute, to the point of scaring her off from wearing cute clothes when he lied that her skirt didn’t suit her.
and. y’know. when he visited for the very expensive ft4 concert, she dressed up for him. sure, she had help from lxl, and she pretty much did it just to prove him wrong about his past words, but. y’know. she did it for him. he is the one who made hiyori want to become cuter.
so. nagisa. wouldn’t you say that hiyori had decided to become even cuter by herself for you? i really think he just played himself with this one, guys (unless the kimikawaii mv proves me wrong, of course). but till then, i’m gonna find the humour in nagisa asking “who was the one who made you become this cute?” only for the answer to be himself.
#(in other words i searched for kimikawaii on twt and was met with all kinds of comments about how yujiro was the one who made hiyori cute)#(and. like. y’all. she could’ve done that herself post-tokyo visit. or with the help of her friends post-fight/reconciliation)#(why does it have to be yujiro? he’s busy being aizo’s wife)#(plus i think chizuchan would be more than happy to help hiyo with her cuteness transformations once she’s told that it’s for nagisa)#(remember how chizuchan loves childhood friend romances? she’d def be nghy’s no. 1 supporter right alongside lxl)#im sorry i still have kimikawaii on the brain aaaaaaaaaaa#anyways i have hopes for kimikawaii mv and i h o p e nagisa’s just dense and dumb#just like how hiyori was dense to his feelings the whole time as they grew up together…#wait a min. this could be their childhood friends to lovers theme#we had beta couple childhood friends to lovers with natsuyuu and tsundere childhood friends to lovers with kthn.#so… could we have a dense idiots childhood friends to lovers couple with nghy…? please?#anyway live laugh love kimikawaii mv waiting room pls come soon i miss nagisa smmmm#the dude from gamushara
