#maybe this is also just my biased opinion

[hazshit-hotel-hater]

How are we feeling about the new S2 leak.

tbh i prefer this a lot more because it shows that vivzie isnt just taking every single fan theory. also im biased because lilith is boring to me and having her focus be on being alastors contractor would deprive her from her already existing plotline. the way theyve portrayed this is odd though. i know this will stay an unpopular opinion of mine but its literally just a lot better to me because i never really expected it to be lilith and if it was her i was going to be pissed because its so expected and i could tell vivzie was either being a dumbass again or she was actually trying to do something unexpected so i hope it was the second and i was right and thankfully i was right. idk what theyre going to do now with the rosie plotline and like yeah it might mess with my rewrite but atp if they do it shit vivzie is writing her own grave and its not my problem. also rosie is my favourite character writing wise because she isnt HORRID everytime shes on screen so i at least have moderate hopes for it. and again, i dont like popular fan theories becoming true just because theyre popular and lilith can focus more on her family plotline instead of some shit with alastor and it leaves more space for them to do their own shit. as for why theyre shown to be friendly im not sure but maybe there'll be a good explination or at least a passable one. with the rosie antisemetism controversy stuff im sure thisll make rounds of some kind

let's talk about mouthwashing!

spoilers for the game. duh.

trigger warning for abuse, SA, death.

i feel like we all know how complex the story telling for the game is yet theres still people that don't seem to get it entirely. i decided to ramble about that. im sure others have done it before me but let me ramble about my hyperfixation god damn it.

this is the first out of 3 posts so strap in. the 3rd one is a LONG one.

before i start a few disclaimers: i am rather new to mouthwashing so i do not know EVERYTHING. im just talking about my own interpretation, if there's any missing details pls inform me!

Anya is a shy and timid character!

this of course is not true but i've noticed a few people that still cling onto this interpretation of her. even though its not a vocal group that has this idea, i'd like to talk more about this.

Jimmy is an unreliable narrator, we were given that knowledge with a scene where we see multiple working cryo pods post-crash, despite us knowing there is only one functioning cryo pod.

so of course, knowing that information, most people would start to realise everything we went through as Jimmy post-crash, it was all biased, we were in the eyes of an abuser, and we trusted the words he used to describe Anya as part of her character. that's also part of the horror for this game in my opinion. the horror that i agreed the views of an abuser horrifies me.

"He - It just hurts him so much. I can't stand the noise."

"...You did make it through nursing school, right?"

"Pony Express sure does know how to cut corners, if nothing else."

-

"I was hoping you could help me with Captain-"

"Curly."

"Right, sorry ...w-with Curly's medication?"

"People have to be worth their titles."

"Don't you think, nurse Anya?"

"...Y-yeah. Forget I asked."

these two different conversations happened in the same scene at the start of the game. after going through the game we can see now how Jimmy talks to Anya is downright insulting. maybe some people have picked up on it during their first playthrough that the way he talks to her is not normal, but we didn't think much of it. but now, now things are different.

"Anya never got into medical school because she's... well, let's be real."

"And how many employment years Swansea got left in him?"

"Daisuke will be fine, mommy and daddy have him covered. So there's that at least."

"But you."

"Headed for bigger and better, right?"

this string of dialogue came 6 days before the crash, when everyone is gathered for Curly's surprise party and Curly decided to drop the news that Pony Express is letting them all go. (this dialogue will be brought up again for something else.)

he was almost insulting everyone sitting at the table, yet in this string of dialogue, he completely disregards Anya. summing his point about her as "well, let's be real.". it shows how much he views her, which was practically nothing. but first-time playing, you didn't think much of it. because he also insulted everyone else.

to summarise this whole thing, Anya as a character is not shy or timid, it is simply how Jimmy views her. but even so, we probably will never know how Anya is truly like. because even when she mentions this won't be her worst moment, she is only remembered as a poor crew member that god abused and assaulted by another member, which is, her worst moment alive.

Something I'd like to know about speakers of languages with a lot of complex shit like cases and such: does everyone actually use them? From my own experience as a German native speaker, the only people who actually properly use for example, the posessive case are those who think of themselves as very sophisticated and the "um acktually" people. Usually, in most casual and even professional and academic settings, most people go for easier constructions.

Also side point, those people also often correlate with those who (in the German educational system) chose Latin instead of French as their second mandatory language.

Controversial opinion: I don’t really count Cleo’s win as a full win, LIKE LISTEN I REALLY WANTED HER TO WIN, but Real Life is like a half win or something.

People always act like this opinion is an attack on Cleo and all that but like, you’re saying Real Life counts as a regular win like any other? So, if next season Cleo makes it really far, she should give up so someone new can get a win? You think she should say “I already won a season someone else deserves this more”? Like idk, to me counting Real Life as a full win feels like saying you don’t believe Cleo could get a win in a legit season so you want to count this one. And I don’t think that’s fair. Cleo doesn’t place very high on average but anyone can win. I think her winning Real Life is proof that she’s getting closer to a real win, like how Jimmy dying near the middle is proof that he could fully break the curse. I don’t count either of those as fully winning/breaking the curse but I see it as like. Half points. But apparently this opinion makes me a Cleo hater who doesn’t want to see her succeed. Idk it just feels like secretly thinking she isn’t capable of a real win, of course I don’t assume the worst of people like that, but like, that’s why I can’t subscribe to the opinion that RL was a win like all the others. I would’ve said it wasn’t a real win no matter WHO won, changing my mind just because it’s a woman feels like backwards feminism to me lmao.

I mean I’m going to assume that most people who say this aren’t doing that and would’ve said that it counts as a Real Win no matter who won? But if not then plz think about that lol. But like. No seriously if someone who always wins like idk Scott had won would y’all be saying “wow… Scott won yet another full season for realsies…” I’m assuming the best of you all and assuming that for some reason y’all hopped into Real Life thinking “can’t wait to see who our OFFICIAL sixth winner is”

a dumb, pointless hill i’m willing to die on is that i think leo would be a cat guy, not a dog guy

like he’d own a cat, not a dog. allow me to explain my reasoning

so, dogs are very cute and loyal. they’re very silly and man’s best friend. however… they wouldn’t be suited for his ‘lifestyle’. lots of dog breeds are very active and can sometimes require things like daily walks and likely need to be trained. considering how he spends hours straight working, i think cats would be best suited for him. they can be very independent and will go to you and demand affection when they want it. like i can image a cat jumping onto his lap and he stops and realizes he’s been busy for hours, so he takes a petting break. he’d totally own an orange tabby that can be as weird and crazy as he is. he’d see the cat like doing a jump kick off the wall and think ‘mood, wish i could do that too’. and cats can also be little assholes and i think he’d respect them for it. i can imagine he’d be the kind of guy to get into an argument with a cat bc they keep knocking shit off his desk. i can imagine him getting a “talkative” cat and they yap at each other for hours

OH ALSO!! so many people tend to write leo being very warm, like a human heater. you know what love warm things like heated blankets and sunny spots? cats. he’d be a cat magnet. they would LOVE him

also, he’d be a great cat dad? like he loves to invent things. he could make so many things for his cat baby. cat house, cat tree, scratching post, perches in high places, he’d make them all. he’d spoil his cat child. they would live like royalty

maybe this is such a random thing to have an opinion on, but i believe strong in it. in my opinion, leo is a cat guy and jason is a dog guy and they own a cat and dog together that get along surprisingly well

So, I realize the intent in trilogies is to move a story forward, rather than back, but wouldn’t it be neat for a prequel storyline for Dishonored 3?

Like, whether it would follow some of the early Marked or focus on our resident void boy, it would be cool to see the world before the main storyline

Especially if it followed our void boy in the time before becoming the Outsider

begging u guys to tag ur spoilers oh my god

[the-demon-prodigy]

this is random but ive seen some ppl say that in this recent chap and the previous one, dazai was not worried abt sigma and was just stressed abt fyodor and in need of sigma's information.

i wanted to debunk that. in my opinion, dazai is worried about sigma. because he's trying to be a good person and doesn't want people to get hurt. it wouldn't even have to be sigma; since joining the ada (and even before then maybe), dazai seems to have an at least slight aversion to letting innocent people or people that he has interacted with and deems to be good get hurt in any way.

yes, dazai is stressed abt the fact that fyodor is alive and on the loose, but hes also worried abt the fact that sigma got pulled into it so much more than he was supposed to.

idk who needs to hear this (vaush) but being a skilled debater and being Good With Words does not make you correct.

Cool non-binary pronouns you got in your profile there. It'd be a real shame if you started acting like a man on the internet

[the-fire-might-be-shooting-at-us]

Soooo do people in this fandom know about not being fucking condescending assholes or

[bmpmp3]

it is interesting how different stories about showbiz try to depict a character as having star power like a common method in audio-visual mediums is music and lighting to try to make a fictional actor's performance in a fictional movie look transcendent (like in Babylon 2022 which I watched the other day) while mediums that don't have the benefit of audio or the moving picture like most comics will have something like a bunch of sparkly screentones all over the place or glitter in their eyes that kinda thing (like too many manga about the entertainment industry to name) but i still have a soft spot for Penguin Revolution's method of just hallucinating wings on everyone

[trans-leek-cookie]

someone talking about the ways media and common tropes/depictions of things that are either explicitly or implicitly linked to marginalized people are demonized and presented badly is not a fucking opportunity for you to flex how you're doing it Differently And Better
