so I'm wondering what the general consensus is on the companion relationships bc from what ive seen so far they're so lackluster compared to the previous games.

(putting the rest under the cut bc this got unintentionally long...)

and you know what? yeah, I will compare it to bg3, bc I vividly remember so many developers, including bioware ones, being against bg3 being the standard. maybe they meant graphically or scale wise, but it's obvious that we meant the diversity of choices and quality/depth of the companions. larian made it a point that they wanted the relationships to be complex, it wasn't about pressing all the right dialogue for approval, and that sometime you have to challenge your friend's beliefs, sometimes you have to argue w loved ones. and when it came to romance, it was especially stressed that sex wasn't the end goal like so many other games have treated romance.

so yeah, the veilguard companions are disappointing, because it is a massive step backwards from their previous complex companions. you can't be friends, you can't be rivals, and you certainly can't have any kind of deep or complex romance. you don't even have a say in recruiting these people. there's no options for any kind of player, because bioware clearly only had a very specific player in mind. no matter what you do, it forces the illusion of friendship with characters you might not even like, it forces you to be nice and supportive no matter what, stripping the player of the agency and roleplay we were promised.

and there's the part I'm the most sore about. if bioware wanted a more linear game with a more fixed protagonist, fine, but 1) da2 exists and there was still more choice there, and 2) don't fucking lie about it. bioware lied up and down about this game for ten years straight and everyone just accepted it right up to release day. we shouldn't have to accept the bare minimum, especially from a $90cad game. that's money most people don't have to spare anymore, the least you could do is be honest about what people are paying for, especially when those who will buy it are faithful dragon age fans who thought this game was going to be faithful back and finally give them answers about the world they cared so much about.

(and don't get me wrong, larian isn't perfect either and I've made a lot of posts criticising them too, but bg3s success shows that people Do appreciate depth of choice and complex companions (see astarion's success))

to me, it feels like they only included romance bc the previous games had it and they knew people wanted it, but they didn't really care for it or just ultimately had no idea Why these romances worked. I don't get any feeling of care or effort went into these relationships (minus emmrich, but especially with lucanis') and it continues to puzzle me as to why writers even bother writing stuff they don't like or care for. and I don't want to assume it's just for money, bc I want to hope people actually do care about the work they do, so im not saying that, but it definitely doesn't feel good. I've said this before and I'll say it again, I would rather have a few characters with depth in friendship/rivalry with no romance, rather than ones that clearly have depth but is never explored. it's so frustrating to see wasted potential and it's even more frustrating to have my time and money wasted.

Another one of my coworkers got me re-watching Codename: Kids Next Door again, another classic I remember loving as a child. (At this rate each one of my coworkers is going to be responsible for getting me to rewatch a different cartoon from my childhood askdhasdhasd)

So far it's not really grabbing me like EEnE or Animaniacs did, but I'm still kinda enjoying it so we'll see what happens.

I know this headcanon is rather common, but I like to imagine we are seeing everything through the eyes of their imagination. Like, all the stunts, the tree house base, the props are all make-believe irl, but through the power of their vivid imagination, we get to see it the way we do.

I'm such a sucker for that shit, that's partially why Ed Edd n Eddy resonates so well with me because they're just hanging out and having fun. It brings me back to when I was their age and man, the nostalgia is real. I may not be able to go back and be a kid again, but I can relive it vicariously through these cartoons.

i alwayz did think "yeah the snapchatz are decanonized via deleted social media post from one (1) writer ov the epilogues despite not conflicting in any meaningful sense w/ the plot" waz like. rlly unnecessary & against the entire ethos ov postcanon. like if anything i think the way snapchat jane iz written like the Nice Jane we kno & love from canon with the massive Literally Red Flag ov putting a crockertier collar & leash on noir bridgez the gap between her canon & postcanon rolez really well! AND her getting kidnapped 2 the moon by troll rebelz for tht matter! like man ov course ppl r gonna think villainjane iz abrupt if u tell em 2 ignore the preexisting foreshadowing

ya it always seemed pretty obvious to me that the snapchat story was at the very least written from the same outline as the epilogues were given that "jane turns to the dark side while battling a faction of trolls" was like the MAIN hanging plot thread there. and now that i think about it it makes too much sense that, knowing the epilogues wouldn't be finished for another couple years, the plan was to bridge the gap between the end of homestuck and the start of the epilogues with snapchat stories taking place in the intervening years (and then whatpumpkin being what it was in 2016 someone realised they didn't have the money or the time or whatever to actually do that and they canned the project without telling us what the fuck was going on)

so like if the epilogue writers wanted to treat that as not canon fine i guess but it always seemed pointless to treat them as different continuities when they very clearly ARE part of the same continuity, vague notions of "canon" notwithstanding

one of the biggest mistakes around grief that i made was avoiding thinking about a loved one bc it was too upsetting. it was a very temporary (but necessary, at the time) fix for feelings i’ll spend a lifetime with but bc of that these days when i think about my sister, it almost feels like i imagined our life together? the pain feels real but the memories kind of feel like dreams. now i’m working backwards and getting myself to look at pictures and videos and bring her up in conversation but every time I do I get so emotional it feels like i’m starting the whole grieving process again.

no but when mhok told day to think of his plate as a clock and told him where on the clock the food was that really reminded me of one of my favorite movies from when i was in middle school which is also about blind people and where the title of the movie itself is a reference to thinking of the plate as a clock: it's called "erbsen auf halb 6" which literally translates to "peas at half past 5" (yes, "halb 6" means "half past 5", yes the numbers are different, don't worry about it)

the plot of the movie is a theater director losing his eyesight in a car accident and him being a director who kinda needs to see what's going on on stage he really doesn't take his sudden loss of vision very well. he gets assigned a helper/mentor, a lady who is blind herself and who's been blind since birth and is supposed to help him adapt to a life with disability. he ultimately runs away from her when he learns that his mother is sick to go find his mother in russia and say goodbye before she dies. his helper/mentor chases after him and they end up on a travel adventure together

it's been over a decade since i last saw the movie but i think at some point they eat and they talk about how the peas sit on the plate where it would be half past 5 on a clock?? anyway, that moment with mhok and day at the restaurant where mhok tells him the position of day's food with the help of an analog clock really reminded me of that movie

edit: i went to look for the trailer of that movie and i found the scene in question!! turns out they're at a restaurant and the helper/mentor character goes "if you imagine the plate as a clock... what numbers is the food lying on?" and the waitress is all confused going "i'm sorry?"

there are no eng subs for the trailer buuut the moment is at the very end at 2:11:

see it's a real movie i didn't just make it up kjdfkjdfk

every so often i think abt the first time i smoked A Weed (hotboxed in my friends car and them hung out w them and their boyfriend) and in the moment i was Mega Nervous about third wheeling but when i relayed my Experience to my friends they were all like "chuu .......... i dont think you were third wheeling.... i think they were inviting u to join them ............" like how was I supposed to figure that out from them inviting me to snuggle with them on the couch and both of them running their hands through my hair and going on about how soft it was and telling me it was ok for me to come closer and that i could "take what i needed" and

on the otjer hand it was also the first time i ever had italian beef sandwiches so like i think it was a rlly formative experience for me. the moral of the story here is italian beef sandwiches are good
