I can't WAIT for the Lore Dump boys to rip into the singular thing that destroyed my love of BioShock Infinite ♥️

okay but we know how ’brutal’ the ocean is considered right? when jason saved percy underwater, percy was understandably filled with shame and told him not to tell anyone about it, and we know that jason dies in the sea. what if it was the ocean's way of spiting jason for hurting percy's ego?

jason meant well by saving him, but the ocean is fiercely loyal to percy who's basically the prince of the sea, and jason had unintentionally made a grave mistake by exerting prowess and control over his father's rival's domain, because he got pay back by facing his demise in the same domain.

If it was a choice between actually getting to know our companions better and developing their relationships with Rook as the player's avatar through classic, Bioware-style investigative conversations or having companions appear in random locations every time you return to the Lighthouse to listen to them spout banter that I could have just heard in the field instead, I know which I would have preferred.

do you think it was weird for mike to go to california and experience his first byers family dinner in months just for it to be far too similar to wheeler family dinners

Do you think in 2024 people will realise that a) tommys not a 15 year old kid anymore he's 20 b) people thinking hes handsome isn't weird c) the way people made fun of him online in 2020/2021 for being cringe or whatever was fucked up and they felt way too comfortable calling a literal teenager ugly

Sometimes I miss when the bulk of the antisemitism I came across online was like, over the top trollish 4chan level shit and not people I used to like and follow eating up and sharing brainrot conspiracy theories every third post.

Wriothesley's lore and his relationship to Neuvillette and justice is so interesting to me because let's be real: the justice system failed him. He was brought up in a foster home where he was intended to be sold in the black market. And when he ran away, why was his solution to return and kill them? Why not inform the police? One can argue he was afraid but usually you'd try every other option before resorting to murder, yes?

And when he succeeds in killing them. He's sentenced to prison, where he is forced to spend the rest of his teen years (so, a child), and the start of his adulthood. And when his sentence is over, he doesn't even leave but take over the title of warden. He literally takes over the title of warden the day his sentence is over. That is severely fucked, like so severely fucked.

So it makes me wonder where was Neuvillette and Furina in all of this? Furina left the room in the middle of Wriothesley's trial for unspecified reasons (Wriothesley interpreted it as she found his case uninteresting, though headcanons say otherwise) and despite everyone in the room finding Wriothesley innocent, Neuvillette still finds him guilty. And you can't argue that it's cause Wriothesley wanted to be found guilty, like objectively let's look at this: he was a victim of abuse killing his abusers in self-defense. Is Neuvillette that obtuse?

I wanna know what Wriothesley thought of Neuvillette in that moment. I really feel like it needs to be addressed that Neuvillette failed Wriothesley and others like him. He is the second highest authority in Fontaine, yet the only thing he could do for Wriothesley when he was homeless as a child was allow a melusine to offer him soup? That's it? Did knowing that there's starving, homeless kids on the street spark no other interest? No implications of Fontaine's society and their quality of life?

I refuse to believe that Neuvillette let the melusine give him soup because it was Wriothesley, because that would mean he was aware of his background and did nothing. He did nothing until it was too late and Wriothesley had to take matters into his own hands. I personally see it as, he lets melusines offer help to those in need, which isn't better, but is better than him actively knowing that Wriothesley was homeless, starving, and running away from an abusive home and did nothing but allowed him one meal one night. Nevermind any other nights Wriothesley could've been starving. Nevermind what he had to endure on the streets as a child, scouring for money and safety. He couldn't offer him anywhere to stay or a job or something that can better Wriothesley's quality of life in the longterm -- he is the Iudex. He has the power to do so.

I still think that Neuvillette cares. But I also think he's extremely ignorant. And I don't fault Wriothesley for believing that Neuvillette wasn't concerned about him -- I think he has every right to think so cause Neuvillette failed him when he needed him most and has not shown him a reason to think otherwise. Every instance of Neuvillette's care is never directly shown to Wriothesley but to everyone else around him.

Anyways, I just find it really sad to think about, and I think Wriothesley deserved better for his own story and I wish the narrative didn't gloss over it like "oh but Neuvillette does care" because does he? Emotionally, maybe, but did Neuvillette make any real positive difference to Wriothesley's life?

…So that's why I think the headcanon that Neuvillette personally made the soup that the melusine gave to Wriothesley isn't as sweet as you think it is.

A certain first encounter

[liquidstar]

so when theyre talking abt felt they show this flashback to her in this tavern. and shes wearing the same outfit from later in the episode

but she says she just went out and bought that outfit that day.

from this we can only conclude that felt went out and bought the exact same outfit she already owns.

Um perhaps hot take but if you can't handle being around disabled people, maybe don't work as a clinic receptionist.

Immediately after a girl had a tic attack and left the building a receptionist did the most exaggerated sigh then said "thank god." ...

Hun, dear, bitch, why the fuck did you need to say that out loud. That's an inside thought my friend, she's lucky it was my partner who was there and not me cause I would not have been able to keep my mouth shut.

Like also maybe others in the room also have Tourette's (cough, cough my partner). So even if the girl she was annoyed with was gone, extremely inappropriate in a professional setting.

Look how sad Yuuji is at the thought that Gojo could ever think he was forgettable 🥺. Gojo is his sensei and Yuuji loves his sensei, so much.

And Yuuji knows what it is like to feel like one cog in the never-ending curse machine, easily replaceable when broken and that's fine for him (at this point) but he would never let any of his friends think they were replaceable, EVER.

And so I actually don't care what Gege thinks; even it is in the way only one cog can only remember another, Itadori Yuuji will always remember Gojo Satoru.

Davrin (alarmed/disbelieving): Don't tell me you actually trust this guy (Solas)?! Rook (Purple Option): Y'know, 'trust' is such a strong word. Davrin: So... you don't trust him? Rook (shrugs with deliberate near-aggressive insouciance): Eenhh.

I'm fucking dying the delivery of that is hysterical. I also feel like the purple options have been getting better as the game goes on -- it feels like it more often also serves some other purpose of characterization than just to be a quip or funny response (which I think is the secret spice with Purple Hawke too -- the way Purple Hawke is funny is very specific to them and frequently tells you a lot of other things about their personality as well, including some not very pleasant ones at times). this was such a funny way to have Rook go 'get off my fucking case Davrin I'm not an idiot' without making a conflict out of it or being willing to commit to anything lol. giving rook the capacity to arguably be outright a bit passive aggressive when pushed too far is amazing

Question. I think Sonic and Tails are just good friends. I don’t believe Sonic raised Tails, and I don’t believe Sonic and Tails have a sibling or father son type bond. Am I allowed to say that? With how many people on this site seem to cheer “the brothers ever”, “they’re brothers your honor”, and “unbreakable bond”, I get the feeling that I would get internet crucified (or real life crucified, idk) for saying anything that doesn’t run parallel to this strongly held belief. So, can I say that I think Sonic and Tails are just good friends and that your opinion is also valid? Or am I going to suddenly suffer a stroke after you read this from you killing me with your mind?

i don’t care. block me if you don’t like them being portrayed like that
