#kratos falling meme

[countlessofvoids]

Regarding the characters meme, to avoid asking the obvious (for me first and foremost, haha; because that would inevitably and predictably be Atreus, Angrboda, Kratos and Freya) how about Hildisvini, Sif and Sindri.

Hildisvini:

The only reason I'm not putting him in favorites is because he's one of the characters I believe could've had more scenes. Especially with Freya and Freyr. What we got I still love, a really charming character! But going off the events after Asgard's fall, it seems like they have things in store for him and Sif. So I'm excited for that

Sif:

She's beautiful! An excellent translation from myths to game, I dare say the most accurate one too. Her writing sparks much interest in me and happens to be one of my favorite type of arcs. With her amount of screentime, they did great work.

Sindri:

I already liked him in 2018, but his development after Brok's death is something else. Maybe might feel a bit too sudden if you're rushing through the story? Anyways, mostly I'm left wondering what they'll do in next games. If they even do that is. Continuing his story means it'll end with repeating another character's arc. We have accepting and forgiving with Freya and not being able to let go of their hate with Gná.

Elden Ring Coop MomentsTM

There have been some entertaining MomentsTM in the last few days during Elden Ring coop as players prepare for the DLC.

Here is a Guts cosplay from Berserk:

Here's Kratos from God of War. Pretty screen accurate if you ask me.

A nod to Baldur's Gate 3 below. Their other cooperator is kindly bowing as I'm summoned in.

(Skip this paragraph if you play soulsborne games.) While Elden Ring has voice chat, it's pretty rarely used. A lot of the player base enjoys the vague, emote-based system you end up having to use to communicate. It's similar to Animal Crossing in that way, and it's equally as charming.

In this session, the Host was very close to dying at the same time that the boss really only needed 1 more hit to be finished off. So I ran in to take aggro and made a silly mistake that got me killed. However, it gave the Host time to chug a healing flask and finish the boss off. The Host then used the Dejection emote to fall to their knees in mourning for the loss of their cooperator at the last moment of the battle:

Here we have Big Chungus decked out in Lionel's Set:

Here is the biggest Fuck You to this boss I've ever seen: not one but TWO Kamehameha meme beams to chew through his health. The other mage didn't quite survive to the end, but it gave the Host the time they needed to finish off the last bit of health.

TOS Replay Stray Thoughts No. 4 (Luin/Asgard/Balacruf Mausoleum)

-“I’ve read nothing but books in angelic language since I was a child” Oof, the religious propaganda runs deep. I wonder how left out Colette felt?

-wait Kratos how do you know the angelic languagohhhhhhhhhhhhh 

-Mmmmm yeah listen to the Luin music sing. “Water symphony”, indeed!

-Ever notice how Asgard doesn’t have a fence? Like, it's on a cliff -- that's a public health hazard if I've ever seen one. Y'all so preoccupied with your tourism and open half-elf discrimination while there's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Get on that!

-One thing Tales of Symphonia does really well is how lived-in and handcrafted the house interiors are, with Asgard and Luin being particular standouts. Just look at the story Harley's house tells! You don’t see this sort of detail in modern Tales anymore...

-The Asgard Human Ranch…but it doesn’t have any relationship with Asgard. Hmm. Shoulda been Luin Human Ranch.

-I don't dabble into customization/spending GRADE *too* much, so I always forget how cost-effective it is. Managing Tales of Symphonia’s economy is fun.

-“There are hardly any trace of the ancient civilization left. It’s almost as if they were intentionally erased by someone.”

HMMMM. Cruxis??? But why would they care about the Balacruf Dynasty? Kinda wish we knew more about that. 

-There's this whole flying dragon business that's always talked about, but almost never seen aside from Hima. I wanna see how that works.

On that note, what's with how one Asgard dragon looks totally different? He's a cutie.

-“Aisha was chosen for the sacrifice because she associates with that half-elf."

Y E E S H.

-The background of the Asgard dais is purty.

-Y’all, Linar. Why do you keep rubbing your head in embarrassment like that. You're gonna shave all your hair off if you go any faster.

-That dais bomb disbarment scene is peak TOS comedy with how Raine keeps beating up that one dude. Also, sudden Lloyd bomb disarment skills.

-That scene when Harley almost gives away their half-elf identities 😬😬😬 The way the Asgard elder and his assistants giving Genis those looks says it all -- poor guy must've been terrified.

(By the way, I don’t remember if they fixed this in the ports, but did you notice Secret of the blue sky plays veeeeeeeeery faintly here? I know that’s a song associated with half-elf discrimination, but I think the wind howling speaks for itself.)

-“that monster with a giant f*cking blade for an appendage and demanding virgin sacrifices was a problem but Harley merely existing and minding his own business is a way bigger issue���.

Lady. Chill. Leave your racism by the door.

-“Well, he’s not causing any problems by being a half-elf but-” YES. YOU’RE THIS CLOSE TO GETTING IT.

-“My sister got a new fan!” *gets smacked*

okay

-“The location of the next Summon Spirit is the next seal.”

yes, I would think that's obvious

-“I’m a little scared, but you’re with me, so it’ll be okay, right?”

“Yeah, leave it to me!”

HHNNNNNGGGGGGHHHHHHH COLLOYD!!!!!

-man Fatalize is such a cool song. I wish it played more.

-look at Lloyd’s arm clipping through Colette’s when she falls down

-how did Colette’s hand bleed that much from falling down

-“Colette, can I talk to you for a sec?” 

oh

oh, here it comes 

“I thought it’d be nice for us to talk just by ourselves” 

The line, it’s coming…! 

“Here, it’s hot coffee.” 

HE’S GONNA SAY IT! 

“Hot, isn’t it?” 

ANY MOMENT NOW 

“It’s actually iced coffee.”

BRACE YOURSELVES

“I lied. It’s actually hot.”

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 

-Memes aside, how about that scene? Peak Colloyd. Colette’s trying her absolute hardest to downplay her trauma for Lloyd's sake (“But my eyes have gotten better!”) even though anyone paying attention can see she can't even convince herself ("I've gotten so good at hearing that...it's painful") and Lloyd just stops and hugs her in the middle of it and apologizes for everything…and she can’t even feel it! SHE CAN'T EVEN CRY!!! AAAAGGGHHHH

The bond they share goes beyond the senses!!! IT'S TRUE LOVE

Long Fics

Fated to Fall (x GN Reader)

Summary: The hand of fate was a cruel thing. It followed everyone who traveled through the realms, from tragic beginnings to horrific ends. Some people sought to embrace it, while others tried to flee from it, but its permanence was undeniable.

Yet as you stood reflecting on a previous life that now seemed so far and a future that appeared all but definite, you couldn't help but wonder why fate had brought you here. In a home that was no longer home and in a place you found no more joy. Was this to be the end of your story?

Or had it only just begun

Meme

The Babygirl/Sexyman/Little Meow Meow Alignment Chart

[redheadlesbianfreak]

Am I fast enough to send you ToS before anyone else for the meme? ;)

You are always the one to send me ToS asks, which is why I love getting asks from you! <3

The first character I fell in love with: Probably Sheena

My ultimate favorite character: Kratos

Prettiest character: Definitely Raine, but even as a lesbian, I cannot deny that Kratos is very good-looking.

My most hated character: Kvar, and then Mithos is a character I love to hate because he's so fucked up.

My OTP: ToS is one of my gen fandoms, so I don't really like it for ship purposes. But my favorite ship is probably Kranna, thanks to all the awesome fan content that was made for this ship.

My NOTP: Once again, not too passionate about this one. But I'll go ahead and say Shelos. I DO ship them, but only unrequited Shelos because I think Sheena deserves better (and I want her to have a girlfriend, sue me). I also don't like Raine/Lloyd because I don't believe Raine would fall for him.

Favorite episode (moment): Oh my god, definitely Colette becoming an angel and Kratos betraying the party. What a way to raise the stakes and really gut the player. That part still gets to me.

Favorite season (act): I have a hard time choosing between acts 1 and 2. Act 1 is great because you have Kratos and you start to understand the horror of Colette's situation. Plus, I love Kratos and Lloyd's relationship. Act 2 is great because you know more about the world, the stakes are high, you get introduced to the rest of the main cast, and you get to explore Tethe'alla.

Least favorite season (act): Probably Act 3. I do like it, but the pacing gets out of control during the final act. So it is brought down.

Character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but I hate: Forcystus seems somewhat popular with the fandom, and I don't get it. Probably because we don't get enough time with him.

My 'you're a piece of trash, but you're still a fave' fave: Zelos, that's an easy one. Kratos also counts.

My 'beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this' fav: How could I not say Colette for this one? Hey game, can you please stop tormenting Colette FOR FIVE MINUTES?!

My 'they're kind of cute, and I lowkey ship them, but I'm not too invested' ship: Zelloyd. I get it, I really do. But I don't think that I can quite see it playing out. I'm also choosing Kratos, sorry Zelos. :/

Here are my takes that I couldn't fit:

Lloyd and Kratos are my favorite relationship; messy parent-child relationships are super interesting to me.

I'm not insanely passionate about Colloyd, but I do think it's cute. I can't see either of them being with anyone else, and I like the childhood friends-to-lovers angle a lot. They are adorkable all the way.

Sheena/Colette is awesome. People tearing down female characters to "prove" one of them is a better fit for the male lead pisses me off. And these arguments are almost always dripping with misogyny. That's one of the reasons why I ship Sheena and Colette (in addition to thinking they would be so cute together!).

[the-big-cheese]

So I have a fever right now and I was so delirious earlier that when I saw one of those Kratos falling memes I hallucinated that I was falling and had a panic attack

[nerdstreak]

2, 12, and 15 for the new year meme! 😁

2. if you did add any new F/Os to your list this year, was there someone who you absolutely didn't expect would end up becoming an F/O? if so, did it take you a long time to realize you like them, or did they take your heart by storm?

oh kratos was definitely the biggest surprise, especially with happening upon his source by pure happenstance, took me a few videos of lore ig but not too long to fall for him

12. if you have spotify wrapped, were there any songs related to your F/O(s)/selfships in your top 100? if you don't, were there any songs you listened to a lot this year because they remind you of your F/O(s)?

i do not have spotify, but i tend to listen to a lot of 80s love songs and at the very least one tends to sneak its way onto all my playlists

15. is there any piece of selfship-related content you've created this year that you're particularly fond of? (this can be art, writing, a headcanon you came up with, etc. anything counts!)

the new moon comic!! and im gonna work even harder on it next year! especially since the Painful chapters are comin up next 😈

Ken Masters

Ken Masters has a Ryu Number of 50.

(clarification below)

First things first; yes, obviously, Ken Masters has an actual Ryu Number of 1.

This April Fools’ post is primarily inspired by this tweet from the Twitter account, where Ken’s Ryu Number was maximized to 21 under the limitation of one character per franchise to avoid trivial extensions.

So, naturally, when @jenni-e-doodles sent in the above tongue-in-cheek ask also in August of 2021, I decided to take a stab at it myself with the justification of April Fools’ and the additional limitation of one link per franchise, partially to avoid bouncing back and forth between entries of crossover series and partially just to see if I could.

Admittedly, I did stretch the definition of "franchise", especially with regard to real life people. I generally interpreted that as "sphere of relevance", and even then by far the dodgiest is probably not counting Brock Lesnar and Masahiro Chono under one category of professional wrestling. (In my defense, they had exactly one match together, even if said match was a three-way for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship that Lesnar won as his debut, and Lesnar's brief but notable stint in UFC makes him relevant in the MMA sphere, which cannot be said for Chono, even when that actually was true for some of his NJPW colleagues.)

I also tried to use links that had no noteworthy caveats at all, and came real close: Code Shifter's a bit iffy since all the characters in question are technically data for an in-universe game called Colorful Fighters. The ruling per the Twitter account FAQ is that the eligibility of in-universe media depictions is answered by the question “How lazy is it?”, which probably falls in Code Shifter’s favor since, past the part where it’s explicitly an ArcSys crossover first and foremost, you can outright play Colorful Fighters in Code Shifter.

Still, had I caught this earlier, I probably would have rerouted the whole thing to avoid it. (As it happened, I worked out it that it would probably require rerouting past at least Reimu, which was more effort than I was willing to put in at that point. Oops.)

All in all, I’m quite surprised that I not only hit my initial ambitious goal of 50, but probably had room for a few more. (You might notice a few blog staples are conspicuously missing.) This took an unconscionable amount of effort to plan and put together, but I’m glad it’s resonated as well as it has.

And while it wasn’t my intention in the slightest, I apparently did manage to actually fool at least one person.

So that’s neat, I guess.
