#i was a bit dense

They should make a support group for kids who had too much unrestricted internet access as a kid because it is just so complex. I also do not want to bring up pony.MOV in an expensive therapy session.

when you and bakugou are in the early, weird stages of your relationship, before it's official, he screenshots every snapchat you send him that has your face in it, not knowing it alerts you every time 💀

i think one of my biggest pet peeves is when you're trying to explain or delve deeper into a topic that's *a bit* more complex or challenging with someone and they immediately cut you off and resort to making jokes about their head hurting or dumbing it down to a cartoonish level for,,, comedic effect i guess

All I can think about is how fucked everyone treats a Shadow Dragon Rook if they choose to save Treviso over Minrathous. Because the decision is sound, you know? Horrible, and hard, but Treviso is this half-broken merchant city. No guard other than the crows, no defenses, no giant floating big brother laser in the sky and one of Thedas' largest collection of mages. And so Rook has to trust their fellow Dragons to protect their home and hope to anything that they can keep the blight from Treviso. Only it's not enough, and despite the fact that Rook is one (1) person, who's only leading because no one else would goddamn do it, who has never even SEEN a dragon before the one at D'Meta's Crossing, and who still managed to fight off one dragon right after a grueling mission and then still have the energy to run off to try and help Minrathous - everyone still seems to blame them. And not just that, but the entire team spends most of the next act with their hearts breaking for Minrathous, and for Neve especially. 'Poor Neve, her home is gone, her people are dead, her life as she knew it is changed forever, poor neve, I know you didn't have a choice Rook but Neve is hurting now'. And I LOVE Neve. I love her. But it is so fucked up that as a Shadow Dragon Rook who was forced to make a horrific choice, who ALSO lost their home, their people, the life they knew- no one ever really bothers to comfort Rook. Or even consider that Rook would be absolutely shattered by what happens to Minrathous. Or fucking furious, because Rook and the goddamn Crows managed to fight off their dragon by the skin of their damn teeth with basically nothing, so how could the Shadow Dragons and the rest of Greater Minrathous not handle theirs! What were they goddamn doing that whole time?!?

The only difference between Rook and Neve is that Rook doesn't have the luxury of fucking off in the middle of a fight for the world to go mourn what they've lost. They have no choice but to pull their shit together and keep going.

And still every time Rook goes to a companion with the broken pieces of themselves in their bloody palms its just. "Oh Rook, how could this have happened to Poor Neve"

Meet Noirah (she/her), my half-wood elf, selunite cleric of light :)

Acolyte and kinda Sage (can't be both sadly, playing Acolyte), she traveled around spreading the word of Selune and helping people before a worm rudely got in her eye.

She and Wyll love seeing each other smile 💕

M tends to go around in just anything oversized and comfy. Doesn't matter if it looks like it's a 10+ year hoodie. So, when M dresses up it's definitely a moment to appreciate. (These gifs just work that's all!!! But also I'm ready for the next episode)

Ghost Trick and the Murder Machine

*Ghost Trick spoilers ahead!*

Someone's probably said this before I have, but it originally struck me as odd when Lynne said, (of the murder machine), "Once Cupid fires his arrow it's all over." Because the puzzle isn't actually about stopping Cupid from firing. You simply redirect him. It nagged at me for a while until I realized something.

The whole machine is Kamila's. Of course, Cupid setting off the gun is symbolic of the whole ordeal, of an act of love gone wrong. But the angle the game takes is that the way to fix it is not to destroy the mechanism, not to crush that love and rid yourself of it entirely, but to "spin" the Cupid, to try again and repurpose that love healthily, without hurting others. I read another post mentioning consequences for people who make mistakes in Ghost Trick, and I think this fits in nicely with that idea.

That's why Yomiel's new version of it near the end of the game is so horrible. Cupid faces the right way, but he's placed dynamite at the end of it. He's refused to allow himself to stop hurting, and continues to hurt others. He gets creative with it, even! With a machine so utterly divorced from the purity of the initial idea. A twisted design so carefully put together that it could have only been born of obsessive and unadulterated bitterness. A machine the opposite of love, one of hate. And by then, there's nothing Sissel can do to help him directly, nothing he can do to turn Cupid around right now, so he does what he can to save those caught in the fire.

If you have Clover living with their monster friends, you gotta play up the differences between their biologies and make Clover look like a genuine freak in their eyes. You just gotta.

Starlo thinks he knows humans soooooooo well because he's watched human movies, yet the split second he sees their nose bleeding from the dry air, he's like "Ah shit. Any sort of bleeding is bad. Is this a fatal amount of blood loss? What do I do??? It just keeps coming out!" Ceroba is like "There can't be that many differences between a monster kid and a human kid. I've already raised one, how hard can another one be?" And then they get the flu, and since disease isn't really a thing with monsters, she's concerned that they're starting to Fall Down (<- okay, this one isn't funny). Martlet finds out that humans need to supplement their diet with things like fiber and iron, but apparently you can't just feed them cut up pieces of cloth and iron filings, that'll kill them. They find out that humans have internal organs and are made of cells and they're be simultaneously disgusted and intrigued. Like, you're made of a bunch of little parts? And those parts make up flesh tubes in your body and stuff? And they're doing their own thing all the time?? Without your awareness??? Does it feel weird????

"Oh, Clover has a 105°F fever but that's only a few degrees higher than how warm they usually are, I'm sure they're fine." <- Deranged statement uttered by one of them at some point.
