have you put the pieces together yet, detective

thinking about how when Garroth gets back from the Irene Dimension he immediately gives himself the task of fixing up the old docks. thinking about how the docks first came about as a direct result of Aphmaus influence on the town originally, her tasking herself out of her own good-will to fix up and serve the first town she stumbled upon and decided to call home. thinking about how garroth says he fell in love with her as soon as he knew she was a good person. thinking about how Aphmau paving streets and renovating villager houses is what made him love her. thinking about how the docks was Their spot, it's where he saw her off and waited for her to come back from all her out-of-town quests, its where they meet up after Donna and Logan's wedding and where Garroth goes to reflect after Zenix's betrayal and is comforted by her. thinking about how Garroth's love for Aph is ultimately an extension of his love for Phoenix Drop and her love for Phoenix Drop is how she shows she loves him. Thinking about when he comes back from the Irene Dimension, after inadvertently leading the town to decay, blaming himself for Aaron's death, and irreparably damaging his relationship with Aphmau his first course of action is to fix up the docks. He's fucked up and the only thing he feels he can do is what Aphmau did so long ago that proved to him she was a worthy lord and a good person: roll up his sleeves and pick up a hammer and nail.

it’s so funny that anya and daisuke are always drawn together n ppl act like they’re close cuz thru the course of the game almost every time there’s any Group Discourse jimmy is the one who sides with anya against swansea and daisuke. anya and daisuke’s relationship is mostly nonexistent but we do see her and jimmy being mostly very cordial with each other. idk. i’ve been thinking abt it a lot cuz i’ve just been replaying and rewatching and trying to pin things down for myself. it’s a little disheartening tbh that all of these characters are constantly mischaracterized by the loudest people in the fandom cuz it’s creating this whole society of people who played a different mouthwashing than the one i did. and whats REALLY so fuckin funny abt all this is that more ppl are shipping jimcurly and apparently THAT’S where all of the “media literacy” problems are coming from. like, no, i understood all the beats of the game just fine and i love all of it. i just also wanna see two guys who suck for each other fuck about it

Literally the greatest fanfiction I've ever read bro this is a full length novel and I've read it twice now. Besides some minor nitpicks this is the closest thing to a disco elysium sequel I think I'll ever see. It adds so much to the world of elysium while still keeping it completely within the original games setting, the author literally comes up with original elysium-y terms and events for every little thing. Like "oh the term 'lesbian' wouldn't exist in elysium because the island of lesbos doesn't exist so I'm gonna make up a communist lesbian named 'violetta' who was executed by the coalition and now all lesbians on the isola call themselves 'violets' after her" WHAT

Been playing Super Monkey Ball (trying to get to Master- it's absolute hell but it's fun)... Haven't made it to the storm floors yet but felt like applying the motif of the stages to Yaldabaoth (❁´◡`❁)

Non-bg/effects version plus some refs since a total of three people have played the original SMB

I changed my mind, you guys can take the doodle page of OCs on main.

A villain, his wife, and their daughter. There is so much info I could ramble about them but I think the biggest thing to know is I got so angry at someone acting like a wife holding a husband responsible for things he said is a reason to not get married. And I decided in my spiteful rage at the spousal hate for no reason... what if there was a husband who loved his wife and the fact she held him responsible? They're just super in love and she's willing to be the memory bank and he appreciates her so much.

So here's a family that loves each other a whole lot because I got mad at a tacky "i hate my spouse" meme.

Sometimes being in love is like getting your eye gored in a fit of purifying violence, sometimes it's not

i feel like. theres designing a character with certain themes and motifs in mind, and then theres making a gijinka for the water bottle on my nightstand

If 15 projected his problems onto Ruby, then he has a song in his soul. Given the addition of the jukebox to the TARDIS who mirrors him, and it playing the theme tune, and the opening disappearing from 73 Yards when the Doctor did, it’d make sense the song in his soul would therefore be the theme tune, right?

is there any horror quite like suddenly getting a wave of comments on a fic you wrote in 2020 that was so bad you put it on anon and don’t recognize it as your own anymore

[italoniponic]

genuinely admire those who were optimistic for dishonored 3 but in this videogame industry climate and [insert a 4hr video essay about arkane's recent history here], honestly, not getting dh3 is good news
