#it's incredibly confusing

Shocker of shockers, but the folks who know salmon seasons, know where the watering holes and rivers are, know how to grow crops with little to no annual rainfall or irrigation, built sturdy homes that weathered well, know how local animals sound and how to imitate them and hunt them effectively, could tell nutritious roots from deadly poisons, could make life-saving poultices from plants that seem innocuous to the untrained eye, whose ancestors lived there thousands and thousands of years just might, you know, maybe, possibly, small chance, just uh, theoretically speaking, know a thing or two about how to live and, furthermore, not die, in their own homelands. You know. Just saying. Maybe. Just a thought. Just throwing it out there.
#the more history I learn the more bizarre the doctrine of discovery and white man's burden and all that bullshit is#like not only is it evil#it's incredibly confusing#we really thought-#no. not thought. people still think this.#we really think we know better because we learned how to make steel before them#and because we have guns#we really think that those two things make us the only people with brains?#and we still think that even after the numerous times we would have starved here if people didn't take pity on us?#we still think that after the donner party were given deer to eat but shot at the people who offered it#then proceeded to ignore the deer and continue being cannibals?#we really think we're smarter?#not to like. 'noble savage' everything though#just trying to emphasize that indigenous people are people#and like all people they're on the whole pretty brilliant#with moments of failures moments of stupidity of cruelty etc people are imperfect and perfection doesn't exist#I guess what I'm saying isn't 'these people are so noble' but 'these people are good and decent'...#...and when compared to uh. you know. conquistadors and 'explorers' and whatnot...#'good and decent' looks pretty gosh darn noble

Good reveal au, where after learning phantom's identity and realizing the atrocities that the GIW have committed (or alternatively, ethical science au, where they find out the GIW plagarized them), the fenton parents decided to create the 'ultimate ghost-ending weapon' and sell it to the agents.
They go absolutely overboard, describing to the agents in meticulous detail how it evaporates any ghost it hits near-instantly and describing it quite ruthlessly in the blueprints, and soon the GIW have raplaced all their main weapons with the new gun.
Except it doesn't actually kill ghosts. It's the Fenton Bazooka. You know, the one that creates a portable portal to suck the ghost back into the ghost zone? What they actually did was retool it slightly to make it look more grusome than it actually is. They even added a beacon in Phantom's Keep, which all Fenton Bazookas will target when they open a portal, so the ghosts are always delivered to the keep.
From there, Phantom stationed an emergency medical team at the keep to treat the many injured and ragged ghosts that the GIW 'destroyed,' and to explain what just happened.
What they didn't anticipate was that now that the GIW have a mass-produced weapon that they believed would effectively eradicate ghosts, they would go on the offensive. They have a number of cities they've been monitoring but didn't want to get involved in without better tools.
One of those cities is Gotham.
And the Bats are ectocontaminated enough to register as ghosts.
Batman witnessed several of his children get evaporated by green energy weapons within mere moments of each other. He's absolutely gutted. Devastated. They didn’t even stand a chance.
He'll get his revenge, and it's frighteningly easy to track the weapon to private subcontractors. The Doctors Fenton, in Illinois. Their research calls for the genocide of all ghost kind, and apparently, that war started by killing his own children.
His children will not die in vain.
He gets to Amity Park and finds the Engineer's Nightmare of a building that is Fentonworks, but that night, before he can hack through the security and break in, one of the windows opens.
It's one of his kids that he had watched evaporate before his very eyes. They give him a silent signal of one of their identifying security codes and gesture for him to come inside.
Is it a trap? A prank in poor taste? Utterly genuine?
He goes through the window.
All of his dead kids are there, wearing borrowed pajamas and only their dominoes to conceal their identities. Daniel Fenton (son of the Fentons, this is his bedroom, has voiced a few arguments against his parent's views, but still an unknown) is among the crowd of teens and young adults, twirling on an office chair and obnoxiously sipping a capri sun.
"First thing you need to know, Bats," Daniel says after finishing his drink, "is that my parents are absolutely NOT genocidal ectophobic scumbags, and that is the reason why your kids are still alive."
#the bats are not the first human liminals that the giw 'killed'#whenever humans land in the keep frostbite immediates calls phantom to take them back to earth#alternate scene at fentonworks:#bruce spies maddie on the phone and overhears her saying she'll 'inform batman when he arrives'#its frostbite/phantom on the phone telling her to keep an eye out for any bats because some of their team was 'killed'#and shortly after she spots batman spying on her and gestures for him to come in#and when theyre both in the lab the spectre speeder returns chock full of various bats and team phantom members#needless to say bruce is very relieved and incredibly confused#and his kids have a pretty wild story to tell#i deliberately left which kids vague#but i imagined jason and tim for sure and possibly two others#they hadnt left fentonworks yet as to not inform the giw that they survived and knowing that bruce would find them#it would also give away the fenton's trick and dont want to reveal that before the agency has been stopped#so they have to make a plan that doesnt reveal that theyre alive or expose the fentons deceit too quickly#the fentons may have to be temporarily arrested by the justice league while the investigation is ongoing#to hide the fact that they werent actually helping the giw#dpxdc#dp x dc

i don't believe that edgeworth would read steel samurai fanfic of his own accord but i do think if maya sent him the link to one he would print it out to read it. and make corrections on it in red ink.
#my friends saw this one first lmao#listen i don't think he knows what ao3 is. i don't think hes aware of tumblr.#however i think hed hand back the printed out fanfic to maya and shed be incredibly confused bc she is NOT the author#chatters#ace attorney#maya fey#miles edgeworth

Soul Sanctum! Soul Twisters are the bane of my existence, right behind Primal Aspids and those flying assholes in Crystal Peak.
Most of HK’s most annoying enemies are the flying ones, because they’re good at getting out of the way of your shit by teleporting or flying backwards, and or they have subtle telegraphs for their attacks, while those same attacks blend in fantastically with the background (I can not even begin to describe my visceral hatred for the flying crystal shits).
Masterpost
#hollow knight#hk greenpath vessel#hk ghost#hk soul master#art#my art#comic#soul sanctum has super cool music#like I can feel the madness of the bugs there just from soul master’s theme alone#the normal area music is so sad sounding too#it’s filled with agony#and it gets worse when you have to listen to the sounds enemies like mistakes make#it’s guttural and desperate and confused#it’s incredible for such a tiny corner of the game

Perhaps a Hot Take: I don't have anything against JayVik as a ship, but the amount of people in the fandom who use it as an opportunity to be openly racist and misogynistic towards Mel and Sky, and to feminize/infantilize Viktor as a disabled man make it REALLY hard to enjoy
#literally over 90% of the viktor tag is currently jayvik content#hey. hey perhaps we should talk about the incredibly funny smart handsome determined inventor and engineer#who is a MAJOR figure in media for disabled/chronic illness rep#as... his own person?#also like... all the posts that go “oh yeah jayce never loved mel he was just confused”#guys newsflash theres a pretty interesting thing called bisexuality maybe you can look it up when you get your head out of your ass#i usually never involve myself in this shit but its driving me absolutely insane#sincerely your local bisexual chronic illness and cancer survivor :)))#arcane#arcane critical#viktor arcane#jayce talis#mel medarda#sky young

Gideon would not be some suave fuckboy picking up chicks like skittles and somehow having Harrow as the person that settles her--Gideon has been starving for home and belonging since before she was born, Gideon doesn't know how to interact with strangers even if she barks out something aggressive or recites some line she's read, Gideon nearly blacks out when a girl she finds pretty implies the most minuscule of interest in her.
Gideon is also, without question, submissive when it comes to her relationships, and while she spits like a startled cat at Harrow (rightfully so, I will point out, as their relationship before Canaan House was violent and cruel and oppressive), she responds immediately and desperately to even the faintest taste of approval.
Even when we're in her head, even when we see her make some brazen statement or thought, even when she lashes out and tries to be bigger and bolder than she feels, we still see how awkward she is. She's an unsocialized teenager without peers. She's an absolute mess with no experience. She's the isolated teen who learned everything from material marked as too explicit for her a bit too young and took the scripts of them and then nearly choked on the reality of talking to a pretty girl who wasn't beating the shit out of her in a circumstance she could rightfully resent.
She sat there wanting Harrow to kiss her so bad, Nona dipped down to offer her relief that fell hollow as soon as Gideon knew it wasn't from her morbid mistress of bones. She's a performative little shit. An anxious, floundering, helpless butch who is quite literally dying to have someone use her, want her, and who doesn't know what to do with it other than artlessly throw up her feathers.
#now HARROW#what holds Harrow back is being an incredibly repressed nun who needs to feel 'inspired' in some way to act#but she WILL act#and I don't even think she questions it a lot#she's had people hyping her up her whole life and I think her confusion with romance is less about feeling insecure#and more about feeling undeserving due to the nature of what she has cost and what her responsibilities are#gideon nav#tlt

#fire emblem#fe7#blazing sword#nils#ninian#aquanutart#i saw someone post a pic of ninian and say it was the fire emblem anniversary#and i thought i should put up an old pic i haven't posted for that and i was going to try to rush to do it#then i realized the anniversary was last week. so it didn't matter#and i spent four hours shuffling and reshuffling my pokemon card deck playing an imaginary game against myself#it works really well when i'm not playing anyone else and imagine everything going exactly the way that i want#then i go to an event where i have an actual opponent and it goes differently#i've heard it recommended to build the opponent's deck and play it against yourself#but i don't want to buy all the cards for another deck and also don't want to print proxies because it would take a lot of time and ink#so what i do when i'm missing a card is i put another card in its place and imagine it's that card#'so this n's klinklang is a dragapult and these little wooloo are dreepies'#it works if i'm missing two or three cards but i think if i tried to play a whole deck like this it'd be incredibly confusing#i am always really relieved when i actually get the card i need and can stop pretending#(i don't play dragapult; that was just an example. if i did i probably wouldn't keep losing but i never had a dragapult so i don't)#anyway i made this like 1-2 years ago? i don't even remember.. for a theme on twitter#i think the theme was 'music'#i love these dragon kids#anyway happy anniversary fire emblem 7 !!!! i love this game so much#i just realized the anniversary for fe7 rather than the whole series anniversary was actually only 3 days ago and i could have been on time#it's... fine. i am going to pretend it's 3 days ago in exactly the way i pretend i am winning when i play pokemon against myself

More of Eramis experiencing being treated fairly, thinks it's all a heinous trick.
Girl.
Crab confronted with the reality that humans are not all evil, contrary to the indoctrination by the Witness and hundreds of years of animosity between us, ends up confused, convinced this is an elaborate trick to kill her. More at 11.
#destiny 2#destiny 2 spoilers#revenant#revenant spoilers#eramis#this is the funniest thing they've done#she's so confused#to be clear it makes sense that she doesn't trust us but also the way it's presented it incredibly funny#she's describing it like she's being tortured but she's just being given help and advice and counsel and therapy#like we clearly care for her wellbeing despite everything and she thinks she's about to be executed. help meeee#long post
