Anyways I know we settled that Pit Babe is the most unhinged BL today, but I can't close the book on talking about unhinged shows without talking about what is probably the most insane show of them all (at least in the ql-adjacent world)

like the first couple episodes is like "oooo spooky museum, cursed artifacts, bit of monster of the week but like with cursed items, is Dome Katha's reincarnated brother?" and then the last episode is "Katha has become the new Christian God. the moon has literally exploded and is going to end the world. Dome is actually one of the 4 horseman of the apocalypse and shot down from the sky to take over a normal guy named Dome's life. Dome isn't Katha's brother, that's Chan, another horseman of the apocalypse, who is from a different universe and also looks the same as Dome because all celestial creatures look like Dome because God made them all look like that across universes and God is Katha but not really. Dome and Chan were both from different universes (there's currently 3) but were all mixed around because Death (who also looks like Dome) killed his God and destroyed his universe so he's been hopping around trying to find a new God also he's possessed the body of Adam (like from the Bible) who had become a mannequin." and they made that jump in like 10 episodes

Truly one of the most unhinged pieces of television ever made I wish they made Katha and Dome kiss so I could include them in this bracket.

"you can homebrew anything into 5e, its really genre-neutral" <- guy who assumes the health system used in d&d is the "default" and hasnt thought about the fact that healing up to full in 8 hours is a) buck fucking wild, and b) absolutely crucial to the power fantasy and foolhardy adventuring atmosphere that d&d is centered on. d&d wants you to rush into challenges, give it everything, barely survive, and then do it again the next day. fights in d&d default to not having long-lasting consequences (unless the dm gives them higher stakes on purpose as a conscious decision). thats fun for an adventuring game. do not do this in survival games

this is just one of the many, many mechanics in this game that give a certain vibe that tons of people love. changing this one thing wont change the genre entirely, but you have to change it if youre really that dedicated to reinventing the wheel in d&d. i am not nitpicking. this is huge. if you dont see why its such a big deal, i dont trust that you understand game design well enough to make a genre-hopping d&d homebrew

man, i have to go do something in a minute here, but i am CONSTANTLY think about like... how long DOES the average circus member last before they abstract?

we dont have a lot of information about the passage of time in general in the show (which is infinitely painful to me, who likes to know about technical details very in-depth. but i understand writing wise why its like this) other than that the first 4 episodes take place over the span of 4(? or 5, depending on how you interpret the ending scene of episode 4) (which this also intrigues me that 8-9 days will pass over the course of the show... and also makes me curious about just how eventful the average day truly is in the circus!) days and that everyone in the circus has likely been here for at MINIMUM 2 years

(i say that because jax says "weve been stuck here for years" which implies that all of the people there at the time have been there for more than one year and because of the plural years, a minimum of 2. maybe. he also could just be oversimplifying things but unless given reason to think otherwise im interpretting the line this way)

we know of a at least ~18 people whove been in the circus total, but i frankly think its more than that. we know ribbit abstracted before kaufmo, but we dont know when ribbit joined the circus, or how much time was between these

it also depends on how long you think the circus members have been trapped for. i personally think this has been going on for at minimum 10 years (i have my own hcs abt it being ~16 years, but thats just hc and based on a bunch of my interpretations of random details) but we dont really know this, and how long this has been happening, and how long kingers been here, and whether or not kinger has or hasnt been here the longest of anyone whos ever been in the circus

like if its been like 5 years thatd mean like... 3-4 people join the circus each year (on average). if its 10 years thatd mean 1-2 people join the circus each year (on average). and we dont even know how many people the circus has in it at one time on avg!! like theres the theory it floats around 6, but thats just a theory and not smth we know for sure. point being, we dont even know how often people join the circus and that effects a LOT of things

idk..... i guess the question really is 'how often can a person last in the circus before they literally cannot take it anymore' which is a much sadder question. we dont even know how long ago queenie abstracted, or ribbit abstracted. did zooble know ribbit? did ribbit get here before or after zooble did??

it just haunts me a little

Biggest pity in MM was that they never went through with including fisherfolk Ganondorf, Sheikh/Zelda and Impa.

YES that would have been so funny and/or so unsettling depending on how they would have went with it (and knowing Majora's Mask, it could have easily been both).

Could you imagine their reactions on the night of the Final Day, as the moon slowly collapses and they have to face their own demise? I am just sooo curious about what their interpretation would have been like here, all three of them. Would it go in complete opposites of what their OoT characters would have done, or would it parallel hidden aspects we never get another chance to see???

I mean. It's all speculation. But. Can you imagine.

Come play Risk of Rain 2! In Risk of Rain 2, you too can experience the following wonderful gameplay:

Spend an entire hour just getting to stage 8!

Along the way, pick up 86 items but get BASICALLY NO crowd control items except for 4 stacks of gasoline! Have fun shooting each enemy individually!

Additionally, out of those 86, only THREE are movement items, one of which is Wax Quail! Enjoy desperately jumping away from your enemies and slowly ambling around the stages!

Spend literally 10 fucking minutes fighting the Alloy Worship Unit because you autopiloted to summoning it for the legendary only to remember that you HAVE NO CROWD CONTROL!

Get the Alien Head item for your troubles, which reduces skill cooldowns, while you play the character who can completely circumvent the entire concept of skill cooldowns!

Die to an invisible Clay Templar because, again, YOU HAVE NO CROWD CONTROL and your only healing items work OUTSIDE OF COMBAT except for 3hp on every hit! Too bad its been an hour and you're into the last phase of the scaling difficulty, fuckface!

Risk of Rain 2!

grabbing rise of lyric with my fangs. like sure whatever it was probably for the better for sega to intervene with some aspects of the development like having the characters' designs be less stylized and wacky and stick a bit closer to their original looks, but the micromanaging and insistence on a more typical sonic experience is what kills me bad. ignoring the fact the game came out on a console that wasn't designed to run shit made with that particular version of the cryengine (if it could run any cryengine games for that matter) which was ultimately why rol ended up like that, it presented a wonderful opportunity to innovate on sonic games and introduce Something New to the mix that hadn't been done in the big releases since unleashed. had boom been successful and become the funny side franchise sega decided they wanted it to be, they could have had games that did not Need to stick to the boost formula or whatever the Thing in the mainline games has to be. they could have had games that people who typically don't go for fast-paced action platformers (like me!) would be more willing to pick up as their first sonic game, which could later lead them to try some of the other games as well. instead they insist that a game that was conceptualized as a 4-player co-op experience and built around this idea needs more speed sections which feels like something that inherently clashes with the idea of co-op play with multiple people anyway and might not be the part that anyone would remember most fondly about such experience. and then they put it on the wii u. and then they make it a franchise thing and give the reigns of it to some cartoon writers who know nothing but the basics about the game they're supposed to make a cartoon about.

laying down in a puddle cradling rise of lyric in my arms and falsely trying to assure it that everything's okay when it very much isn't and the world did my darling so fucking dirty

If I had to choose an animated character that “I think”closely resembles me, it honestly be SALLY from "The Nightmare Before Christmas". 🎃🪡🧵🍁

She comes across kinda timid, but she is does have fiery spirit and is willing to take risks. The difference is she has no desire to make a spectacle of herself or be in the limelight. She’s content to do things behind-the-scenes. Also the fact she’s ragdoll helps me feel even more like her due to living with both physical & mental health challenges. Sometimes it feels like I need to sew myself back together after a blunder. *sigh*

My husband told me he disagrees with my choice and instead states I’m more like Madeline, the strong spirited little French girl with the adventurous heart. ❤️ 🐕

Both characters are strong willed redheads! 😉 Madeline is more head-strong and usually jumps into action before thinking things through. Sally, on the hand, is more cautious before doing anything and prefers to work away from the spotlight. Can be misjudged as timid or shy. Also what the two have in common is the will to take healthy risks in life.

I still consider myself to be more like Sally though, but it was encouraging to learn that my hubby views me to be a more courageous woman. I couldn’t be more flattered!!! 🥰
