i think it's close enough to christmas to post the virgin greg again
#personal crap#steven universe#su amethyst#su pearl#su greg#su steven#su garnet#yeah i just rewatched three gems and a baby#i still think it's one of the most underrated episodes and christmas is a nice excuse to watch it#like. i could never be ready is such a pretty song greg not knowing how to look after a baby is really relatable and funny#and it's so interesting how the gems all kinda look at steven from their own perspectives and have to realise he's not just like any of the#plus doing this ep quite a way into the show shows how much they've all grown#not to mention the retroactive explanation for why steven never knew about ruby and sapphire and the white diamond foreshadowing#it's just... *chef's kiss*

Suletta saying love me. love me please. I’ll do anything. I’ll kill for you, I’ll listen to you, I love you. love me and let me stay. vs Miorine going hate me. hate me. I need you to hate me because I love you. I need you to run away, to stop loving me, to be safe. hate me and it will be worth it in the end. hate me and leave. (Suletta saying love me, please love me, please don’t leave me)
#sorry. the brainworms.#it's just abt the miscommunication yes but it's not really a misunderstanding.#they both want to protect each other So goddamn much BECAUSE of their past losses and/or fears and it's those fears that keep them from#meeting in the middle. prospera has raised suletta in such a way that she believes her only worth is what other people make of her. miorine#has grown up to believe that her worth is based on herself. so this disparity comes from suletta going Please see me like I see you and#miorine responding with Please believe in yourself like I believe in myself.#and therein lies the issue: neither of them are Correct but that's the difference in how they've navigated their lives. it's just. so#convoluted and fucked up and it's Interesting.......... anyway.

the most frustrating part abt the scene with alicent and rhaenyra (other than it being ridiculous) is the attempt at portraying alicent as a passive victim with zero agency (TO BE CLEAR she's a victim of both otto and viserys, that's not a question, she had no choice there. she did, however, have a choice in other moments and those are what i'm talking abt in this post). the writers essentially made her go "oh i thought he was talking about MY aegon. well, it's too late. i am a tragic figure who never wanted war. oh no" like ?? some of us have eyes and can see that alicent has been actively trying to gain power, undermine rhaenyra, and divide the family even before the time skip. she shows up to rhaenyra's wedding late and wearing green, she sows discord between their kids, spreads rumors of rhaenyra's children being bastards despite knowing it could get them killed (+ in the book the only ppl yapping abt them being bastards were alicent and criston cole bc the point of spreading rumors was to undermine and hurt both them and rhaenyra, if it was true or not was irrelevant), and she literally hits aegon and insists that rhaenyra will kill him to cement her claim to the throne even when there's been no indication that she would. alicent did not have to do any of those things, she actively chose to
and rhaenyra was willing to leave all that in the past by marrying helaena and jace thus ending the (then metaphorical) war between their sides of the family, but alicent refused bc she wanted power and for rhaenyra to not have any, so she made active choices to ensure that, and didn't care for the consequences. now her son is the king, she never prepared him for it so he's shit at it, she can't control him, she has no power, and the only person surprised is her (and otto). but again, these are choices SHE made or helped make. making an enemy of rhaenyra, and everything that came bc of that, was a choice. she would've helped put aegon on the throne whether viserys quoted the prophecy to her or not, be it usurpation (which it was) or not. that was a choice alicent made. stop portraying her as a passive victim of the dance when that role belongs to helaena
#and before yall ask YES I AM AWARE THAT ALICENT WANTING RHAENYRA TO NOT HAVE POWER WAS PROBS A TRAUMA RESPONSE MANIFESTING AS JEALOUSY#but i need yall to understand that trauma response or not alicent still made the active choice to antagonize rhaenyra and make her an enemy#and i'm not saying alicent is the sole or even main reason the dance happened. but she played a pretty significant and active role#the way the show is changing so much abt team green to make them likeable is insane actually#aemond is literally remembered by history as AEMOND THE KINSLAYER yet the only person who's been referred to in that way so far is rhaenyra#they erased rhaenyra and laena's friendship and just had alicent take laena's place#not to mention in the book alicent is a grown woman beefing with like a 9yr old rhaenyra#the writers changed nearly everything about her so she'd be more palatable + likable (and so would the greens by extension)#and they've also made team black mellow + passive and uninteresting (esp jace) which i also hate#like if this is gonna be an “everyone is bad” story then why are all their rough edges softened. why won't they let them just be unlikeable#why is the writing essentially saying “men bad and want war but women good and want peace” THATS NOT COMPELLING AT ALL#house of the dragon#meta#hotd meta#alicent hightower#rhaenyra targaryen#my meta

brennan: so you're in the last standard exam in an alien realm and in the stands you see a bunch of arthur agueforts, they're cheering for you, they're talking to each other, they've got your names written on their chests
editors: zooms in on the two arthur agueforts who are making out because they know how we are
#laughs awkwardly#dimension 20#fantasy high spoilers#don't mind me i'm talking all the way down here. just pondering the concept of like#i know this is the format of the show and that's how the show works etc etc#but there's also a tragic quality to the fact that. these battle sets were made way beforehand. which means that#the bad kids were always destined to take the last standard exam. they were always going to fail in some way#no matter how hard they worked no matter how much stress they took on no matter how much they've grown#something something bobby dawn's really unlocked the extreme teenage rage in me. the idea of#'problem children' who are set up to fail by the system and then teachers act like their failure 'proves' that they were always bad#you know what i mean? plot device comedy et cetera but i do get really really sad about kids who struggle in school when they don't have to#the support could have been there and would have cost nothing but a bit of time effort empathy but adults withhold it. just to make a point

boxing arc of LCLA goes crazy tbh we've got qiao ling busting the boys' time shenanigans (and her not believing at first until they prove it via HER being involved in said time shenanigans); we've got cheng xiaoshi's parasocial relationship w his idol shuang hai (man is obsessed); he's shaking crying downing drinks w shuang hai cos said boxing CHAKPION has no one to confide in except two twenty something year olds who did some sleuthing for him; cheng xiaoshi's all like "im your BIGGEST fan why are u being such a LOSER right now 🥲" and lu guang is sitting there quietly except for when scolding cxs for drinking too much too fast 😭😭😭 i love this show
#link click#link click live action#ness lc tag#qiao ling#lu guang#cheng xiaoshi#the WAY shuang hai pours them both a drink and lg looks at it like hes Never seen alcohol in his LIFE#shuang hai asks him why he's not drinking and CXS JUST DOWNS IT FOR HIM....i was like wait im getting deja vu (thought of wangxian erm)#i feel like live action! shiguang are getting closer and its so sweet to seeeee#even the small things like the way lu guang seems mire comfortable touching cxs (albeit usually to drag him away from things or to things)#i still remember how in an earlier episode cxs sat right next to lg on that bench and LG SLID AWAY FROM HIM IT WAS HILARIOUS#but they've grown and learned more about one another.... they're beginning to. Understand each other#they're building towards the dynamic i feel they have in the donghua (< personal hc) and its low-key v heartwarming to see#I'd love to read fics (or write!!) w lcla canon in mind cos there's some good stuff here !#it will never be the insane Peak that is the donghua but i love the direction they've taken it in#it feels both separate to the donghua (able to stand on its own) and complimentary#lord im sorry for rambling in the tags sm im just so obsessed w link click in all its forms#and this will happen again 😞

onk is so annoying~~~~~~~!!!aahh I actually feel like I'm going to get so many things right in the end and I have all the answers, I SERIOUSLY DO, I'm not- I'm not being full of myself or making baseless claims, I just SEE what they are trying to do with the writing, the feelings of the characters at least, some of them are painfully obvious BUT THEY JUST KEEP BEATING AROUND THE BUSH AND KEEP TRYING TO TWIST THINGS AWAY AND MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IT ISN'T. That's what I find so annoying!! It's actually one of the reasons why I took a break from reading the comic after some time when I picked up the work after having viewed S1 last year. I know what they're doing and why the characters are written like this, and how they're like this, I'm pretty positive!!
I was annoyed about Aqua last time because he still had feelings for Kana yet the authors made him entangled with Akane while he DIDN'T abandon his feelings for her, I'm really sorry but he shouldn't have treated Akane like that. It wasn't fair. His feelings towards Kana NEVER once changed. I JUST SAW THAT, the writers make him stray away from that feeling he was for painfully long, they better make the whole reveal fulfilling in the end, I KNEW aqukana was going to be endgame for so long. Aqua SHOULD NOT have treated Akane the way he did if he really wanted to build a genuine relationship with her. The anime S2 seems to leave off at there where he asks her to be a couple, well, I think he did try, but he didn't discard his feelings towards Kana as he did either. I just.. knew, that what happened wasn't what he truly wanted and this guy NEVER confronts his desires, he should have gone up and told the person he liked about his feelings but this comic considers something like this a suspense or a plot point and lets it drag on for dozens of chapters... I came BACK after they confirmed about his feelings because GOD it was so obvious. This whole story would have gone nowhere without him ever having gotten true to his feelings, nothing would have been resolved without it because he'd always have had this lingering feeling for Kana and it's just hanging with it without being acknowledged in the story!!! It's not about what ship I support exactly, it's- I know what characters have feeling for whom!!! and they try to make it seem like it's some big secret because I get it, endgame ships are important but Aqua, as much as I cared for him(he's been making me so angry lately though,) was being a douche to both girls. They both can go kick his butt for toying around with those girl's feelings. and ehh I can see regardless of who his love interest is, ultimately the one person he really cares about more than his own life is Ruby HSHSH.. What is that guy doing. His dad told him to go back and live!! I am mad!!!
and now, I already partly have a good idea about how Hikaru and Ai's relationship issue's going to be resolved but they have to DRAG IT ON AND MAKE ME SO NERVOUS. The authors must really like doing this and think it's very clever but again, this is so tedious and nerve-wrecking to watch as a weekly issue with Hikaru being completely out of it, he's totally gone insane!!! The one guy Ai wanted to confess to being in shambles is both so ridiculous and so tragic to look at!! Look at the total mess he's become, they can't make him be so..;; so ugly like this, it's so rude to his being as a character and I'm sure they aren't going to leave him be like this as Ai's other half(YES THIS GUY!!! IS AI'S OTHER HALF!! HE'S DEVISED TO BE HER MATCH FROM THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT STAGE!!)
Come on everyone, I know what I'm doing.
YOU CAN'T MAKE AI SAY WHAT SHE'S SAID TO/ABOUT HER MURDERER!!!! THAT'S 1. SO CRUEL, 2.A DOWNRIGHT DUMB CHOICE AS A WRITER AND IT DOESN'T HAVE A POINT!!
YOU MAKE HER SAY THAT BECAUSE THE GUY DIDN'T DO IT AND IS SOMEONE WHO SHE CAN TRULY LOVE THAT WAY!!! HER NAME MEANS LOVE!!! I just... caught that as soon as this dropped and they lay out all these dumb and confusing ideas later on and make things sooo messy but it's actually, ultimately leading in this direction because DID WE SEE ANY CLEAR PROOF THAT HE WANTED TO HURT AI OR GET BACK AT HER. WE DO NOT BECAUSE HE REALLY DIDN'T DO IT!!! IDK ABT HIM KILLING OTHER PPL THAT'S VAGUE BUT AT LEAST, THIS GUY LOVED AI!!!! WHAT THEY HAVE IS MUTUAL AND HIS FEELINGS FOR HER'S BEEN WHAT'S BEEN MAKING HIM GO ON WHEN HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY WILL TO LIVE AND FEELS PRACTICALLY DEAD AFTER SHE'S GONE!!
THIS GUY WENT INSANE AFTER HE LOST THE ONE SINGLE PERSON WHO MATTERED THE MOST IN HIS LIFE. HE'S NOT HIMSELF!! I just watched how he appeared in the final ep in the anime and I kept going: 'oh this guy. He's totally lost it. He's totally gone mad, the madman. he needs to see a psychiatrist' BECAUSE WHAT'S BEING PRESENTED, IS NOT HIM BEING HIMSELF. I really think.. the guy became possessed or became out of it after he wished to see Ai again. Look, Look at what's happening in the songs. SOMEONE WISHED THE DEAD TO BE BACK. SOMEONE WISHED TO BE ABLE TO BE WITH THEM. THEY WERE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING IF ONLY THAT WERE TO BE POSSIBLE. THEY WISHED UPON "A STAR". There is no one else other than him that would have made that kind of wish.
HE WANTS AI BACK!!!!
Help omygod I'm so tired of the writers just dragging on and spinning things in circles and confusing the readers I JUST GOT THIS OVER AND DONE WITH AS SOON AS THE CHAPTER AND THE SONGS DROPPED AND
If they're doing to make him a villain they never would have had to put in that scene where Ai tells her children she wants her boyfriend to be helped. That totally isn't necessary. They never need to have told us she really loved him and wished to live forever with him. This isn't the type of story where HER efforts would remain a dumb, futile choice, Hikaru's wish may be but AS FOR AI, NO!!!! IT JUST LITERALLY CANNOT HAPPEN!!! THE ENTIRE STORY HAS HER WISH AND LEGACY UNDERLYING IN THE PLOTLINE AS A FLOW, THE STORY DOES NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT IT BECOMING A REALITY!!! RUBY AND AQUA'S WISH AND DRIVES ARE HIGHLY CORRELATED TO THE WISH SHE HAS, AND IT'S NOT ABOUT THEM DETACHING AND STRAYING AWAY FROM IT, IT'S ABOUT THEM ADDING ONTO IT AND STEPPING FORWARD BUT IN THAT SAME DIRECTION! THEY EACH BECAME AN ACTOR AND AN IDOL THE WAY SHE WANTED AND THEY PROGRESSED IN THE ROUTES IN THEIR RESPECTIVE JOURNEYS. THIS STORY CANNOT STAND WITH AI BEING DISREGARDED, SHE'S THE PIVOTAL, KEY PERSON THAT ACTS AS THE BACKBONE!! SO THERE IS NO WAY HER BELOVED IS A SIMPLE CRAZY INSANE MANIAC THE MOMENT SHE TELLS THE READERS SHE ACTUALLY LOVES HIM DEARLY!! SOMETHING'S UP WITH THAT GUY AND HE'S ALSO SOMEONE THAT DESERVES TO BE SAVED!! THAT CHARACTER IS DEVISED TO BE AI'S LOVE. HE IS. AND YOU DON'T MAKE THAT GUY BE A BASELESS SIMPLE FREAK, THAT'S WHY LITERALLY NOTHING'S ACTUALLY BEEN... TOLD TO US ABOUT HIM??? BECAUSE, THE STORY WANTED US TO THINK THAT WAY BUT HE ACTUALLY WASN'T!!!! IT'S RUDE NOT JUST TO HIM BUT AI!! AND I AM SURE THE WRITERS REALLY DO LOVE AND CARE FOR AI. They won't make her look dumb. Not only does it make the character's charm die out, it just totally downplays and degrades the entire series as a whole. Ai is that central. I'm not saying this because I favor her, it's just.. the way she's devised.
it's such a relief this manga's on hiatus till October 24th~ 'v')/ ah.. I can relax.. I can relax. um, probably till this time next week, this comic is oh, it can get super dumb(I'm so sorry aka-san and mengo-san. I don't mean it in a literal sense I'm just TIRED THOUGH). There are so many things I like about it but it stresses me out, I honestly wouldn't be like this if I could not spot anything, but I just SEE these things so clearly and I feel so lonely about it, there is NO WAY it wouldn't go otherwise at least I think so, but it's not my work and the writers aren't me either so I can't be completely sure- it's... painful to wait out and see the characters making dumb choices and making crazy faces, making vague statements that actually result to nothing much and having to wait a week for unanswered questions, every week, I'm not sure if this is supposed be suspense or cliffhangers or what makes the readers want to grab the next episode etc but I've never seen a comic that works so much like a morning kdrama, it's been that way as of lately and it's really wearing me out
oh guys, oh guys don't worry. I never play a game I'd lose. I really need to buy one of those storywriting books- the "how to write" sort of things right. but I; just don't see this going any other way in an ultimate sense. The answers are already out. What I'm unsure is how we'd get there. I could sit back.. and come back after a year like the way I did last time, but I stepped in way too deep and it feels like a sinkhole.. I keep getting afraid if I get anything wrong, oh, I actually feel I can speak.. a little.. when they have breaks like these. otherwise I'd get too nervous to say anything... I can just focus with doing what I enjoy regarding this work without having to worry about just what the heck may come next...
I have like 3-4 ideas I want to draw, I want to get to that before the next chapter drops lol if this comic keeps making me so;; nervous, yeah, I can just rest. I've been pushing so hard~~~~ I'm sure the writers are having so much fun right now and I'm just playing into their hands as a reader because wouldn't it be so nice!! be so fun!! to have people feel things regarding their work! but it's time they start providing us answers now and give this story a good wrap-up. I hope it has like three volumes left at least; I will regret having read this piece if they just drop what that can be perfectly good because, because, I can see this piece getting a really good resolution. They can do it!!! I SEE IT! IT CAN HAPPEN! EVERYTHING CAN MAKE GOOD SENSE AND IT CAN BE GREAT!! AND I think that's what they're going for. I got so many things right about this piece, oh.. I really hope it does go in the way I could be happy I read it.. I got in again because I caught a glimpse of it.
#oshi no ko#oshi no theories#oshi no ko spoilers#yeah I'm going to draw like 3 hikaai comics before the weekend passes lol#long post#;;;; I just get so nervous every week because recently it's been like#oh what other crazy things would unfold.. how much are they going to make it so unnerving to read...they've all grown mad...#I really miss Ai.. how would she feel about the current situation#she does not deserve this mess of a situation. all she wanted was the ones she loved to be happy. if anything I ROOT FOR HER#ppfg the current situation.. it's just horrible for everybody. there is no way this is it.. it's actually funny how ridiculous it is#and nothing is explained either. come on-if you are the writer think about it would you give Ai a guy that only gives her sufferings!!!#the guy was decent!! more than just decent!!! it had to be that way so I AM NOT SURPRISED WHEN THEY SAID HE WAS NOBLE!!!#AND IF HE WAS NOBLE-HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS!! SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HIM!! THEY KEEP FROM TELLING US THE GOODS#THAT GUY PROBABLY WISHED AI BACK IN DESPERATION. THAT MESSED HIM UP...IT GAVE HIM WEIRD IDEAS...THAT'S WHY THE SONG'S NAME'S MEPHISTO!!!!#EVERYTHING CLICKS!!!!#spoilers#I can't with this piece guys.. I'm so done.. I can't#I really hope hikaru and ai gets some justice..if hikaru does deserve it. he's gone insane because he couldn't live without Ai.#he wants his girl back. he lost it...#aquakana#aqukana#hikaai

I rewatched the second sonic film with my sister tonight and man. I forget how much I genuinely love this movie
#like? is it a perfect film? no. is it kinda cringy sometimes? a little. but is it super cute and fun??? YES#I actually love Wade and Rachel in this film they're so funny. and eggman is great.#Sonic is SO BABY IN THE FIRST FILM IT'S REDICULOUS#it's also really interesting to compare Sonic here to how he is in the 2nd film cause like in the first one he is a socially starved CHILD#but in the second even though he's still got a lot to learn he is just so OBVIOUSLY more mature and better socially adjusted#and I am just so happy for him#Tom actually matures a lot too between the first and second films#like in the first he's a guy who's feeling unsettled and tying to find his way in life#but in the second he's a parent. And even though Sonic hasn't admitted that to himself Tom has still felt that responsibility#and he's really grown and matured into that role and become even more likable in the 2nd film as a result and I'm just so happy for him too#cannot wait to see how they've both developed even further in the 3rd and then how Sonic probably regresses for part of it mwahahaha#ya know#sonic movie#sonic movie 2#sonic movie 3#sonic movie 3 theories

"nanobots" the song is this deconstructed view of child development and parenthood where it's like, 'wow have you ever thought about how weird producing offspring is. like, it's weird, right! we make these little people and they quickly grow into their own individual personalities with their own lives and autonomy and I've lost all authority and there's so many and you've gotta be responsible for them all the time, what did I do !!!'
but as well as approaching it with this slightly overwhelmed perspective, there's a sort of affectionate optimism in there, too. that even tho the concept's intimidating, there's a sense of wonder in how humans develop and raising them and watching them grow up. hey this kid thing's fun actually, yeah I wish they'd leave me alone sometimes, but look at how cute and resilient they are look at what they can do. and then "replicant" is like jesus parenting a teenager is hard.
#tmbg#it's a tough competition with about 200 songs#but I honestly think ''I turn my back for two minutes and they've grown again'' is one of tmbg's most poignant lyrics#it's not an original sentiment and one that could even be viewed as somewhat sentimental and hokey with a less skilled execution#like what person or piece of art Hasn't expressed the bittersweet experience of feeling a child's growing up too quickly a million times#but there's just something about the way it's slotted into nanobots#nanobots is honestly cute. and I don't mean that in a reductive ''cutesy'' way I mean as a good thing it's just genuinely very adorable#from a band whose music is a lot of things but you wouldn't typically describe as ''adorable''#I think it's because their songs so often Don't carry this sort of tone that it works in the same way ''another first kiss'' does#there's an uncountable amount of lovesongs in the world. like. THE most popular theme. what can you say that hasn't already been expressed#but lines like ''we've run out of things to say. and we'll be happy any way'' and ''grabs my coat to walk away''#are just such beautifully deceptively simplistic ways to express the mundanity of a healthy relationship#they like each other's company still after all these years and they share their clothes waaah#anyway to get back on topic I love nanobots much for the same reasons as ''I love you for psychological reasons'' and ''mammal'' lmao#myautismhasnothingtodowiththis.jpg

Plus the angst is delicious, and how can I say no to angst?<<
I got you Angst! Make the genesis wave happen nad the Fleetway dimension gets affected too, nothing changed but the freedom fighthers don't remember scourge and the only one Who remembers the past is him so Scourge has to Re-connected with them or Re-rizz Sonic.
Extra points if the New Fleetway timeline is better or worse (Maybe It could be the King Sonic dimension? 👀)
👀👀👀 ohoho interesting..... an incident that makes everyone forget him would fuck him up big time I think, because by this point Scourge is comfortable with everyone. He has friends, he has a boyfriend, for once in his life he's... happy. And to have it all taken from him in an instant.... oooo he would not take it well
Maybe at first he thinks it's a prank, because that's exactly the kind of prank Sonic would find funny, but as he interacts with everyone else, he isn't so sure; he doesn't believe Tails alone could put on such a good act for so long, so he starts to get suspicious, maybe panic a little, and that's when the change in behaviour really starts to hit home. Sure the rest of the freedom fighters might be more willing to give him a break, but Sonic has reverted right back to his "No Fucking Lookalikes" policy with no exceptions. Sonic absolutely would not trust this bad boy-wannabe skulking about in their base - meeting him out on the street is one thing, but the base is important, they can't afford to let just anyone wander in - and the distrust would cut Scourge deeper than expected. It was one thing to not be trusted by Sonic when he first arrived, because yeah, he was planning on stirring up trouble then so the suspicion was warranted, but he's over that now, and it's another thing entirely to be accused of being shady when he isn't even doing anything. Like, it's his home, and all of a sudden he's not welcome in his own home. It's going to hurt, and that means it's going to piss him off. It feels like rejection, like betrayal, and Scourge does not take rejection or betrayal well
What also strikes me is if he's in the fleetway zone, Scourge doesn't know about the genesis wave. He has absolutely no clue what has happened, no clue he was supposed to be wiped from existence. So he has no idea what the hell has gone wrong. His first instinct is to blame Robotnik, but Robotnik doesn't know who he is either, and no matter how hard he tries, Scourge can't prove he's lying about not knowing him
Ultimately I feel like his priority shifts to figuring out what happened and how he can reverse it. I imagine the freedom fighters have been moved enough by his insistence that they do know each other, maybe they've even bullied Sonic into giving him a chance, and they've agreed to help him figure out what the hell has happened. But even if they do, he still feels alone. He knows them, but they don't know him. They don't know about his favourite things, Sonic doesn't remember their favourite dates, he's checked Kintobor's records and searched for group photos that include him and everything is gone. Scourge the Hedgehog's entire existence has been wiped clean off the face of the planet, except for Scourge himself. Could you imagine what that would do to even a normal person, let alone someone like Scourge? One million issues he's been ignoring not even noticed yet would flare up, and he's desperately searching for a way to fix it. He wants his home back, and if he couldn't restore everyone's memories... well, it would take him time to heal enough to even begin trying to rebuilding his friendship with the freedom fighters and get Sonic to fall in love with him again. Especially when he still doesn't know how he did it the first time. He wants to run away about it, but how can he run away when he doesn't have anywhere else to go?
Getting Sonic to believe his story that he's been here for years and they've all just forgotten would be the biggest challenge, I think. The rest of the freedom fighters are more inclined to believe the story, but not him. In my head, he only changes his mind when, in the middle of a fight with Scourge - kicked off because Scourge, out of frustration at trying to prove he's telling the truth, brings up Johnny, and Sonic is immediately like "how fucking dare you use my dead friend against me to manipulate me" - Scourge blurts out something no one - not even his friends - knows about. Something Sonic has kept entirely to himself, that he only ever felt comfortable telling Scourge after they grew close
In the heat of the moment, of course, he rejects this train of thought and just argues with Scourge harder, because he's stubborn and hates admitting to being wrong. But after they've both stormed off - and maybe Sonic catches a glimpse of Scourge holding back frustrated tears - and he has a moment to himself, he sits and thinks about what Scourge said and slowly realises maybe, just maybe, Scourge is telling the truth after all
#sonic the hedgehog#scourge the hedgehog#fleetway sonic#stc sonic#fleet!sonourge#asks#headcanon#no idk what the thing scourge blurts out is#we can call that 'leaving it up to interpretation' as a way to slap a plaster over my lack of ideas x#only thing that comes to mind is maybe scourge mentions sonic's crush on johnny. since that's what started the fight and all#but i'm not sure yet if sonic would ever tell scourge about his feelings for johnny or if scourge would ever figure it out on his own#so. up to interpretation it is x#the freedom fighters are way more willing to give poor scourge a chance it's literally just sonic causing all the issues#especially if they see scourge realise he can't undo their memory loss. they see his devastated reaction#and none of them - not even sonic - can deny that that's a very very real reaction#if there were any doubts about his story all of them immediately vanish when they see his response to that news#if they've been working to help scourge figure out what's going on i imagine they've already grown a little attached to him#so while scourge is overwhelmed because he thinks he has to start entirely from scratch with them and he doesn't know how to do it#he's completely oblivious to the fact they already like him. maybe even already consider him their friend#sonic is gonna feel bad about doubting him too. guy was already hurting and he treats him like shit. not cool#the ensuing apology is extremely stilted and awkward#possibly made worse by the fact scourge is in no headspace to receive it#they'll work it out though#sonic will make it right. one way or another. it's his job#and besides. the strange fluttering of his heart and butterflies in his chest insist he shouldn't let scourge go#for reasons he can't quite understand (yet)

I just started listening to The Magnus Protocol at work (and two days later I'm all caught up 🥲) and I have to say, I was fully expecting to hate Gwen's guts for her terminal case of Snooty Rich Asshole™ but then, basically in her first real in depth introduction as a character, she hits us with
Lena: What do you actually want, Gwen?
Gwen: Your job. :)
And I gotta admit... it had me going
#tmp#tmp podcast#the magnus protocol#gwen bouchard#like dont get me wrong she's still kind of an asshole but... god damnit I'm a sucker for a confident to the point of cocky ass woman#i have to say she's definitely grown on me since then too bc I'm also a sucker for characters who learn the line between ambition and hubris#only after they've crossed way too far over that line to turn back#also i think her and alice should have raunchy sloppy borderline hate sex#i just think it would be some really constructive stress relief and also potentially very hot#especially if its a “heat of the moment” thing followed by both of them laying next to each other staring up at the ceiling in silent shock#mostly because i find that kind of situation both hot as much as i think its funny

Denziman vs Datolar
#denziman#sentai#smiled this whole fight tbh such a fun way to use the location#no one used any of their stock footage special moves (until the finisher but even then most of that was new)#the whole gang has this cheeky confidence about them#they've had no real guidance and the only ones with formal combat training are red and green#but it feels like everyones gotten good at what they do - like the teams really grown as a unit#they've really hit their stride - we've gotten the average deathcount per episode down significantly and i've never been more proud#i'm very worried that the 'mid season confidence coming back to bite you in the ass' trend doesnt come back to bite me in the ass rn#after metalder and flashman (and amazon to an extent) i really just need a show that lets the good guys stay winning for a lil while#denziwatching#side note but while the characters are all pretty one note/very standard in terms of stand out/memorable traits#i think the actors are all doing a really good job in terms of just absolutly oozing personality

so solace and corentin are siblings? were they separated? if one is with wyll who is the other with?
They are! Solace barely survived Corentin attacking the family when their dark urge awakened, and was taken in by the Temple of the Open Hand because their mother had been going there regularly and the priests had been helping Tin try to keep things under control. Solace was 10, Tin was 15, and they had a 13 year old sister who didn't make it.
Corentin doesn't remember the attack because of a mixture of trauma and purposeful efforts by the Bhaalists, and I don't think they ever truly get the memories of their family back. They put the prices together eventually, though. Solace remembers the attack vividly and was conscious enough to see the direct aftermath when Corentin came to. They're actually the reason she survived: Tin threw one of the many healing potions placed around their house at her and screamed out the window for help before the Butler dragged them away. It's...complicated for Solace and I don't think he'd ever be able to forgive them (which Corentin never expected or asked for), but eventually they're able to move around each other to some degree. They're also working on elf time so by the time they settle into that pattern and make their peace very few people who saw the very beginning of all of that post-game are alive, so the way they interact around each other instead of directly is kinda just accepted as the Way Things Are among the folks in the city who notice.
I haven't decided who Solace is gonna go for yet. I was thinking about Gale but I'm not sure; they might be a no-romance run, honestly. I've got active playthroughs for all of the romances but Gale and Minthara at the moment. Wyll would actually be a good fit for them I think, but I'm not sure if the "both siblings survive" timeline will be the canon one in my head since durge dies if you're not playing as them, and the idea of Solace finding Tin's body after fighting Orin is intriguing to me. I'm not going to touch their playthrough much until I've finished Corentin's and/or gotten further in Candor and Luka's first though, so I have time to decide lol
#their mother had grown up in a different bhaalist...compound? commune? enclave? than the one we see in-game#and fled to baldur's gate without knowing there was a temple there too. tbh i think part of the reason she picked that city#was b/c of gorion's ward#she didn't know she was pregnant with tin at the time but figured out what they were pretty quickly after they were born#solace was terrified of thunder & lightning for years after the attack (tin's a storm sorcerer)#but kinda just naturally/accidentally? became a tempest cleric#because they were processing everything & training to be a cleric at the same time#it also took them several years to truly feel comfortable at the temple#the moment they truly settled into the tempest domain marks that shift#they'd been trained w/ the intention of becoming a life domain cleric but it just. wasnt clicking#because that's just not how they interact with their god or faith#personality *or* experience-wise#they've always been restless and loud and trying to tamp that down (it didn't seem close to anyone's vibe but father lorgan's in-g#*game) just didn't work#even roses have thorns after all#anyway. ramble done lol#thank you for the ask!!#bg3#asks#solace riadyr#corentin#the prodigal saer#bg3 tav#bg3 durge#(solace uses he/she/they)#tin settled into an 'older sibling' role with orin pretty quickly#and solace was a little shit (affectionate) to the others in the temple in the way youngest siblings tend to be#the more things change the more they stay the same lol
