#lol i should replay bws

[longer-than-i-should-admit]

Well. I made myself as a Rook (and threw together my first Lavellan Vunlean this time as a Cullenmance on a whim), I’m really pleased with how she turned out, and I want to share her but…I have a crippling anxiety about showing my face online so nevermind 🙃it’s that accurate lol

What do you think about the mainline Pokemon games (RBY, GSC, etc.)?

LIKE...... IN GENERAL, OR..?????

ok well. let's see. there's ones I like and ones I don't, naturally. I said this in another ask but imo Pokemon design gets cooler and stronger with each passing generation, even if the games themselves weren't that good. LOVE Galar's designs for the most part, but good god Sword and Shield were not. good games. >__>

I'm eternally partial to RSE (Ruby was my first pkmn game, Hoenn's still one of my favorite regions, the Gen 3 era soundtrack is so nostalgic to me.) Gen 4 was a monumental generation for so many reasons, Platinum is a just a goddamn good game, and BDSP is a fucking embarassment lol. I love Gen 5's games, I've been wanting to replay Black sometime, I miss her. White 2 I think my be my favorite mainline Pokemon game of all time (though I have to be real, Violet is up there now too--warts (and bugs) and all, Scarvio was the most fun I've had in a mainline pokemon game in YEARS, and the story knocked my ass clean into the street. I just like it! I love Paldea!!)

I love Alola's Dex, I love so much of Sun and Moon's story and characters, and I fucking wish they were better games, I wish USUM wasn't a letdown (as much as Necrozma's everything makes me insane.) I didn't grow up with RBY or GSC so I don't really have any nostalgic attachment to them at all lol--in RBY's case I played the virtual console DS version and kind of. did not enjoy myself at all HHSGGDFG i would be perfectly content never going to Kanto in a pokemon game ever again.

Legends Arceus also kicked ass and I genuinely hope they do more games like that in the future. If they do Legends Unova I'll go absolutely ape, slash pos. (or whatever it is it seems like they're lurking towards with whatever the next 'big' game is, Unova wise--I genuinely dont think it's BW remakes (which also I don't think they should even make in the first place; the games look FINE, just PORT THEM FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.))

Scarlet and Violet's soundtrack goes so fucking hard.

And. um. X and Y's graphics aged like murky dogshit 🥴

// feel free to ignore this post.. just me thinking thoughts

i have so many weird feelings about the future. outside of my real life, which is something i don't wanna discuss right now, i feel this... approaching melancholy about the fact that somewhat soon, legends ZA will come out and everyone will start focusing on that. don't get me wrong, i AM excited, especially after my latest replay of XY and realizing just how much this new game could bring to the table that wasn't anywhere near explored in the og games... but...

can i just say this is the first time in a long time where i feel like i don't want to leave the region? for as flawed as scarvio are, they've become some of my favorite games in the franchise for different reasons. leaving just feels... wrong, in some way. and yeah yeah, i know, just because we move on to a new region doesn't mean everyone is going to forget about scarvio or that everyone in the fandom will leave it behind or anything like that, but...

since dppt and bw/2, these games feel like home to me. maybe it's the fact that paldea is directly based on the iberian peninsula and i'm spanish, but this game has made me feel so seen. not to mention it's got one of my favorite stories in the franchise, and i love most characters in this game to bits. and i mean, they made me come back to the rp scene here on tumblr after i left in 2018, so YOU KNOW they've altered my brain chemistry HARD lmaoo

just feeling a bit irrationally sad that it won't be in the spotlight anymore i guess...

outside of that, i'm also grappling with weird feelings regarding my future(?) geeta blog. i know rping is just for fun, but i always take the way i portray characters super seriously, sticking to canon as much as possible (while adding a lot of headcanons ofc) and i'm generally just hard on myself lol. i do think i have a good english level (i got a C1 bordering on C2, ffs!), but i've always found it insanely hard to write characters that talk very politely, so i'm very VERY scared of fucking it up and making geeta sound either too overtly polite or too casual on accident ajahfjfhdjfh

i also... well. this is related to personal issues. but i find my geeta hard to visualize without taking my rika's story into account. what i mean by that is that i think that, unless it's a non-canon verse, rping with other rikas as geeta would be a bit hard for me?

this is not me saying my fellow rika rpers aren't ''good enough'' or whatever, fyi, i'm just saying that i'm very particular about the way their friendship develops in my head and i don't want to/i'm not going to enforce anyone to follow that 'canon' so to speak. doesn't mean that rping with other rikas is off the table, just that it'd probably have to be a non-canon separate verse, just like how this blog has the tierra diferente verse. does that make sense...?

and of course and most importantly... y'all don't know just how specific and defensive i am about geeta. the amount of terrible misrepresentation and villifying i see of her is just unbearable every single time. i fucking hate evil geeta AUs, sorry. i hate the interpretation that she abuses the people that work under her management. i hate the constant ''worst champion'' bs, i hate that people think she's shady or say that she shows no emotions. it's just. i can't. i'm tired of seeing that shit every single time. so i end up sitting down and asking myself ''is making a geeta blog a mistake??? should i just keep it low activity???? should i just not make the blog????''

so yeah. fun!

if you've made it this far in the post, thank you for reading. just needed a place to vent a little and take things off my chest fhgfhgfhdgf

First drawing was done three years after the second drawing.

I just want to (I guess?) state that there is always room for improvement, and the only way to improve is to put in effort. (most) Everyone sucks at first. You practice to get better.

I look forward to the future when I look back at the work I did today, and laugh about how many mistakes I made :D

Fighting scenes in Black Widow

I need to talk about these cause i have been replaying these fight scenes over and over and over again.

These are the coolest fight scenes that I have seen from Black Widow/Nat.

I always thought that the fight scene in the hallway in IM2 it was the best and coolest.

But i was like what? 10/11 when I saw that?

I knew absolutely NOTHING about sexualisation of women in the daily life.

Now i know and i think that even tho that fight scene is cool, is too “pretty”

A fight should get nasty, dirty

while i get that Nat is a super spy with a great agility, that fight scene was too “be a lady they said”

To put it like this.

All the prior fights were too sexualised.

The fights from BW are exactly what i expected (even tho i wanted just a little more of blood cause i’m gore af lol)

She got dirty, she got really dirty and she didn’t stop in a mirror to fix her hair. her hair got hella messy,

while in the other movies her hair was -somehow- always pretty. that’s weird, that’s suspicious.

Now, i loved everything about her fights.

Also, loved Yelena’s fights scenes and her dirty look. (I loved everything about Yelena bro i just OMG)

Melina’s little fight scenes were amazing. Not to mention that her way of fighting shows how smart she truly is.

Instead of trying to fight all of those bitches she took the smarter way. They were there to destroy the red room so she did it while avoiding a whole 20 minutes fight lmao. I love her.

The nameless widows also were AMAZING, even tho they hang up on Nat i just can’t help but say that the way they fight is amazing.

But now, what bothers me a lot, –and it shouldn’t be bothering me cause this is MARVEL, were you get hit 400 times and you can go for a swim 2 seconds later–

are the falls that Nat kept having and the way that she kept surviving lmao.

Let’s remember that she is a human being, with bones and all of that. She ain’t the god of hammers, she ain’t a super soldier, she doesn’t have a metal armor.

She has only a piece of clothe on her that it almost doesn’t protect her.

When she fell from the tower-thingy that in budapest she hit her head, you can clearly see it.

And somehow she just got up like nothing happened.

In that moment she should have gotten a concussion or she should have literally DIE lmao (girl stop falling for my sake)

Again, when she jumped for yelena and she hit her spine in the helicopters she should have had her entire body non-functioning lmao.

And all she got was several purple spots on her back? nah, her body is half dead bro

I know i should be getting too worked up about it, but if Marvel is saying that Nat can get hit so many times and still be okay,

then for me it means that she would have survived vormir lmaooo idk

also, it kinda breaks every other canon thing in marvel/shows like daredevil were he kept falling over and over and having his body in a really bad condition after the fights.

Maybe don’t make my girl hit her head and other vital parts so many times lmao then i wouldn’t be getting too analytical about it 😂

let’s remember she is a human with almost zero protection.

Also, Nat please, stop being so confident while falling, everytime you fall in getting a heart attack, thanks.

Now this goes for the people that says that they love the CA:TWS fights better than these ones.

I genuinely wanna know why?

or how?

but mostly why?

yeah, they were cool you know, but like not truly that impactful.

Maybe for me it wasn’t that impactful bc of the cinematography,

i think that cinematography should play a big part in the fighting scenes

and they did that in BW.

Anyways, that’s all, thanks.

Wooooooo finally getting back to playing BW2 after ages Cmon game plz let me trade over my sinnoh mons soon! Don’t tell me I need to beat the elite four! I’m only on two badges! VARIOUS THOUGHTS

it kinda has a similar feeling to fangames? Like.. Not all fangames but just stuff like reborn and other competitive type ones. I dunno, they have that sort of feeling. I guess its how the game isn’t as focused on discovering the region, and doesn’t really have a goal for a long time. And how it seems like its aimed at people who already know pokemon and all, whereas every main series pokemon game tends to add stuff just in case its your first generation. Except BW2 is like.. Also a tutorial, almost?? Its got that expansion pack feel without actually having challenging difficulty or doing cool new things with the system. It feels way more easy than BW1 and everyone’s giving you free items everywhere and all the towns just feel so empty except for Gimmick Of The Day. I mean they’re still the same size but they somehow feel like the scaled down kanto from gsc?? I guess its just cos they didn’t do enough with the sequel concept. Its disappointing. Whereas kanto was disappointing from smallness, not lack of cool continuity changes. Oh and seriously 90% of the game so far has just been introducing Gimmicks Of The Day! It really does feel like an expansion pack! Its like they stitched together a threadbare super similar over world just as a container for all these bonus features and one new plot kinda, which isn’t really gonna show up til endgame. Its like if platinum was a new game just to introduce the gts, rotom forms, and the two extra team galactic confrontations. Its like if they made a new protagonist and made you get all the badges again just for that! Well, I mean, you still had to replay the third versions but at least they were just repetitive, not empty and weak. Also it SUCKS that most of the gimmicks were just various extra forms of multiplayer internet connectivity, which I can’t even try! So my playthru is even emptier than it should be… Ehh well at least they fleshed out the pokedex with some mons from other generations, tho really BW should have had that from the beginning. My main Mon rright now is a flaafy called Deckard and I love him! I will feed him all 100 lemonades I got from finishing polestar studios! Lol its SUCH a game breaker early on. Sucks that now I’ve got no more fun gimmicks I can do until I reach the city with musicals. Why u taunt me with internet only questionnaires and proto-festival plaza!!! Sophocles thanks for rescuing join avenue so I could actually experience it, yo! AAAA I need to feed deckard more lemonades and stop being salty I’m not hating this game, its a fun distraction even if it doesn’t hold my attention like alola did.
