thinkin bout magneto's lil list of aliases from that One Shot of his government file or w/e in 97 and how it lists the three main men who've played him (David Hemblen, Ian McKellen, Michael Fassbender) and kinda cackling at the idea 1.) if they included All his names 2.) having 'michael' on that list twice

So, sometimes while playing botw/totk, I like to take out my horses and do long journeys across Hyrule, to take a break from fast travelling and completing quests.

Since I just got a new horse way down south (her name's Urania!), it seemed like the perfect excuse to take the long way to Link's house. Usually I map out the way before hand, so I know which route to take, and what stables/towns we are stopping at. Because I wanna feel like Aragorn I suppose.

This was the completed route, starting in Highland Stable, Faron, towards Link's House in Akkala:

It took us about 2.5 days to make the journey, with 3 stable stops in Dueling Peaks, Woodlands, and finally Foothill, with a short stop in Kakariko Village to get some supplies and food.

I realise now I could've continued north towards Riverside Stable, instead of east Dueling Peaks but. Oh well. It was a very pleasant trip either way!

(pics and deets below):

So, we took off from Highland Stable and headed east, around Lake Hylia. Crossing the Hylia bridge would be easier, but there's a fire gleeok there and I'm very scared 😌💙

It wasn't easy to cross Farosh hills on horse, but we made it! Took us a day's worth.

(I forgot the Big Twin bridge wasn't in use, so I did try my best to find a different way for Urania to cross, but no deal. I had to cheat a little and use the stable boarding function 🥺)

Then next day we took off early and stopped by Kakariko to buy some more arrows for me and carrots for the horsie 🥹🥕

Left the village by 9:30, passed by Wetland stable, and continued north to Woodland stable.

We spent the night, and I left Urania there while I took care of some nearby affairs (aka a shrine and a couple other things). She behaved super well so I mafe sure to give her some extra apples before we took off again 🥹

We only had a few hours of daylight left, so we only went around Trilby Valley, and stopped at Foothill for the night (horse girlie needs to rest and also I didn't wanna be arsed with all the stalkoblins and such 🙃).

Next morning we left early once again, and after some very annoying storms and rain, we at last reached home 🥹💙

It was Urania's first journey EVER, and she did wonderfully 🥹💙🐎

The black SUV rolled across the black gravel of the road approaching the secure building up ahead. The sounds of the city had faded hours ago. Where they were, there was nothing for miles. The sound of the tires overturning stones could be heard over the hum of the engine and the silence in the vehicle itself.

A glance out the window revealed pale blue skies and the sun shining overheard. It was a moderate autumn day, not too cold and not too hot, but somewhere perfectly in the middle.

The truck slowed to a stop as it approached the gate. The driver presented his ID, as well as those of the others in the truck. Inside of the vehicle was Wilson Fisk, a few bodyguards, and his assistant. After their cards were scanned, they were permitted to pass through to the building. They rolled to another stop in front of the double doors in the driveway. There were a few green bushes around the building, each perfectly manicured, a green trashcan off to the side where a few flies had convened. Aside from that there was a parking garage where the SUV would undoubtedly be taken once it was unloaded.

"We'll be back in about an hour, be on standby." Wilson's voice finally cut through the silence as he gave his instruction to the driver. His security team moved out of the truck, doing a once over of the area as Wilson stepped out onto the sidewalk.

They were at a Roxxon research facility just a few miles outside of the city. Wilson had recently began business with the company again after years of going dark on them. This was an opportunistic business decision. One that would benefit him if he gave resources to it's development. Deals had been made, ideas shared (some stolen and improved), and money exchanged. Now, after months of funding and working he was here to see the fruits of such labor.

sexual violence is such an obvious reoccurring theme in dandadan, imo in a way that's NOT what you typically see in anime where it's most often just a means of titillation and/or cheap drama. you can argue there are still moments where some things feel like more "typical fanservice", but for the most part, the show engages with the concept so consistently and straightforwardly that i think it'd be more naive to act like any and all instances of sexuality or sexual violence are frivolous. honestly (and again, this is my opinion) the fact that such themes exist within such a humorous show and aren't 100% Deadly Serious every time they come up makes it feel more palpable and only highlights when things ARE depicted in a more sobering light

at this point my only issue so far is that i'm having a hard time connecting the dots in how all this accents the larger narrative. though to be fair, as someone who's only watching the anime and hasn't read the manga, i imagine whatever "larger narrative" that exists for dandadan isn't something we've actually gotten to yet

unfortunately the world is too fucking messed up so I am currently unable to give a shit about how messed up everything is because it's all too big and if I get upset about any of it my entire ability to be a person will come crashing in

I love how every time the commentators mention that the Charge are on the road until mid-January, they very emphatically Do Not Mention Why

Absolutely sick and twisted

Yoshi P you can’t keep getting away with this!!

UGH THEY BOTH DID SO MUCH IN THESE PATCHES OHHHHH MY DAYS

[krogans-give-the-best-cuddles]

Tbh I get why they're not having more prev games options factor in (the crunch and remaking this game like 5 times) and I think the argument of focusing on making this game reactive inside of itself instead of to past events is fair and valid even.

I do however have to raise my eyebrow at the "we prioritized the choices that could be the most interesting" when what they had was 1. Who you romanced as inquisitor (which?? Was labeled friendship/romance in the screenshot I saw?? Even tho it didn't let you choose who your friends were???) 2. Whether the inquisition was disbanded 3. Something about Solas or whatever

But NOTHING about the well of sorrows?? But both the inquisitor and Morrigan are gonna be in the game?? My first question is: why did you not think who got the well of Sorrows would be interesting? My second question is: what is the goddamn point of having the inquisitor or Morrigan come back if the most ominous/interesting potential consequence for them is not going to be relevant at all?

They also said that they would be keeping it vague what was going on on all other decisions so that it felt like "your dragon age" still exists- but it would be impossible to be vague about Morrigan/Inquisitor and the well of Sorrows, GIVEN who has the power over it in this game. So the available options are 1. They are lying and they do make a Canon decision we cannot control 2. They forgot about the well entirely 3. Inquisitor and Morrigan die in a fire explosion two seconds after seeing them and conveniently completely cut off from the power the well has over them so we don't have to think about this at all

None of these are satisfying options. I am not against kind of "clean slating" this game for real. I think it is set in locations where that could be *stretched* to be feasible, and I think that if they had EAs guns to their heads the entire time making it, it IS the most artistically sound decision to prioritize making the game stand on its own over having it be a serious of fanservice moments. But why the fuck do we need to have Morri show up then? Put her away. Put the inquisitor away even. The fact that they have brought Morrigan back AND made this choice makes me question the story direction heavily- bc it seems like 1. Not everybody present even knew what the dominoes the previous game was setting up were and/or 2. They ARE still trying for fanservice anyway, which is stupid bc this whole venture was to prioritize new storytelling

no one really talks about how hard it is to reclaim the things you love once you’ve shared them with someone who hurt you.

22 May, a day before my birthday, today - A doctor looked me in the eyes with a a smile, and said "Guess what? You are going to get Testosteron." After 6 years of waiting, after 16 years of thinking something is weird with me, and at the age of 26, I finally got on T.

I cannot remember once in my life in which I've started to cry out of happiness. But the moment those words hit me, I couldn't stop laughing and crying.

Thank you for everyone who has supported me to get here.

Is it a bad idea to go play in the snow if my cough and congestion haven't fully gone away? Regardless of the answer, I'm going to go play in the snow ✌️

woke up at 4am feeling the weight of my life crushing me, so I’ve been sitting out in my car for the last couple of hours because I just need. to. be. somewhere else.
