Fanart of one of my fave moments of a fic i read and love, "Can you see what i see?" It's just comical to me that Sunset is out here being a chick magnet, utterly oblivious to it. Good for her good for her!!! Writer is @averydays ! Thanks for writing awesomeness =v=

Mirabell instarsandtime is so smart you guys!!!! Don't discount her!!!!! When you first get her shield, she blasts siffrin with so much technical craft jargon he can't keep up in the slightest!! Even Odile on had a faint grasp on the CARROT method!!!! And she was the first to bring up that Time Craft would actually kill you from the energy it needs!!! Guys she's a craft genius!!!

I feel like, yall and Katsuki have a kid, it's going good, first day of school is tomorrow hell yeah right?

You spend hours convincing Katsuki that it's gonna be okay, nothing is gonna happen to baby, it's fine.

Then baby cries as soon as you both go to leave and Katsuki breaks hard.

He spends the day parked outside the kindergarten some days making sure his baby is okay 😭

You know how sometimes the parent has to stay for a little bit once class time actually starts just because the kid won't calm down? There's Kat with your weepy baby in his lap during opening ceremony, see; days of the week song and counting to ten, red faced n trying to hold back his own tears LMFAO because he honestly doesn't want to leave either.

(You ask him about it later, and he's defending himself with: what if something goes wrong? They don't like the lunch that's provided, or trip and fall in the unfamiliar hallways? Or god forbid, the teacher's an asshole and takes it out on the students???

Not that he hadn't already went overboard when you were looking at schools, vetting the program and reaching out to all the teachers to make sure they were exactly what he was looking for before even thinking about enrolling baby)

It's only when activity time actually starts that baby finally, finally pulls away from him when some kids ask yours to play with them, giving dad one last hug before shyly joining their circle and picking up a block.

AND there Bakugo is, crying on the way to the car and then low? high? key sobbing once you're in because your kid chose some "lil extras" to play with instead of continuing to cling onto him, which you have to remind him is actually a good thing, that other kids wanted to play with your child LMFAO.

He's such a freak LMFAO and it absolutely gets worse with your next baby, too jsdkafjkasdfjk BYE (he absolutely does hang out outside the kindergarten, sometimes even "forgetting" to give them their lunch ON PURPOSE, just so he has an excuse to drop it off and see them in the middle of the day).

listen if you go into g3 thinking it will be just like more episodes of g1 youre gonna be very disappointed. like yeah if I had to choose between them Id choose g1 as it cant be beat, but g3 has its own unique charm and is really good if you accept that the g3 cast isnt gonna be a carbon copy of the g1 cast. they arent meant to be! theyre new takes on their character, by definition, a new generation. yes I still have criticisms for it but also it did a lot of stuff better!

first off, a trans character IN a queer relationship. Ive always related to frankie but gen 3 especially does them so well and no matter what you say them and cleo's relationship is adorable. also I see a lot of you treat them like just a girl who uses they/them pronouns (or ignore that theyre non-binary at all) just because they dress femininely, and I am judging you. their relationship is trixic, not sapphic, and frankie is unlabeled and cleo is bi so theyre not lesbians either. frankie is not your theythem girl or theyfab or whatever. grow up. deuce is also theorized to be trans or intersex and is also canonically aromantic and I fucking love that as well. "b-but my nostalgia abt cleo and deuce" Im still nostalgic about them too and it was nice seeing the "mean girl" and her boyfriend have a healthy relationship but again this is a different take on their character, and I can happily say I could see their g1 versions identify this way as well if mattel wasnt such a coward back then.

next, lagoona. Ill be honest I was one of the biggest haters of g3 lagoona at first, pink skin, vsco girl ass fashion, "this aint my lagoona, she's way less edgier than the others AND g1" Id say, but she really grew on me, and as someone who frequently rewatches g1 as well, I notice she is a LOT more well developed than her g1 counterpart. g3 is fierce and is afraid of no longer being seen as such due to also having "cutesy" interests, and loves graphic novels and sometimes sees them as more true than real life. she also has anxiety and copes with them in an unappealing fashion (chewing). she makes up for her lack of edgy looks with her edgy personality. meanwhile g1 is just.... aussie and loves her boyfriend. g3 is still very sporty and cares for her friends (and crush) a lot, but now has personality past that, she can even find fault in her crush while still loving him, while g1 lagoona just saw gill as the perfect incarnate. g3 just overall, has more fleshed out monsters than g1.

more about deuce, I see a lot of people headcanon him as trans and I love that, but I personally believe he may be intersex. "but both of his parents and his sisters are female, there is no y chromosome in their heritage so how could he develop a y chromosome or testosterone" you may ask, but worry not for I have a biology special interest and am more than willing to explain! deuce's parents are a harpy (bird monster) and a gorgon(snake monster), and both birds and snakes are known to have NOT X and Y chromosomes to determine sex, but Z and W, and it works the other way around! meaning the offspring with zw chromosomes will be female while the offspring with zz chromosomes will be male! and due to deuce being out of the sex norms of both harpies and gorgons (having no males), he is considered intersex! again, I have nothing about his trans headcanons, but him being intersex makes more sense to me. and I LOVE it if thats the intention.

either way, even if I have my criticisms, I love g3, yes its not comparable to g1 but theyre different series!

ranting a little bit bc I saw something that got me thinkin again

so this person was like "halo spartans and 40k space marines are close to each other but spartans are missing the crucial element of absolute brotherhood" and I get what they mean, the UNSC and spartan programs aren't a cult in the same way

BUT spartans (at least gen 2 and 3) do have that absolute loyalty purely thru shared trauma/events. like going to war will bond almost anyone to anyone/anything so it's realistic

they don't really show case this outside of halo reach and 5, and thats just bc you never really see other Spartans outside of those two games lmao

but in those games alone, you get to see the absolute trust each spartan has in each other. especially their fireteammates. noble team follows each other to the grave and half of them sacrifice themselves for their other teammates

meanwhile in halo 5, blue team continues to follow chief despite his schizophrenic visions of cortana. and he's not even their leader, fred is the leader of blue team. they couldve just not followed him. but it's bc of the trust they have in chief that they defect with him (do not take this as an endorsement of halo 5's writing. game is still bad and always will be)

anyway. you get to see more of this in the books, but I'm more focused on the games since that's what this person was originally talking about

I agree with them that space marines and spartans aren't the same, and it's purely bc spartans don't have the same cult mentality. they're just trauma-bonded

Whoops

hello generation loss enjoyers. it has been several months since the release of ranboos project, how have yall been? im going to be insane.

Many folks have known me as the lminal space connosieur, dead malls and fucked up houses in particular being my strongsuit for both their sex appeal and the amount of symbolism they can all hold.

Watching Gen Loss with my friends through a hostage situation was a wonderful experience! upon the reveal of the Showfall Media offices being inside a rented out mall, there was a split second where I was a bit unamused at the lack of effort put into integrating the mall's architecture into the studio's office. There were only a few empty stores being used with at the bare minimum some chairs and desks, half the mall was still closed, the mini maps stands were still up, and the food court's usage as the streamers hub was very just. like. thats a whole ass food court. without the people walking around the only way to actually know what the hel this was being used for was the giant white banner that just said showfall media like a fraternity's house claiming its territory.

But then, as the episode 2 closed out, almost instantly it hit me why. why the mall was still a mall, why there was little to no integration for the set- it was on purpose. it was supposed to just be a studio crammed inside a mall. a dead mall, to be precise.

first lets get into the anatomy of what makes a dead mall dead. Around the 1980's a rise in popularity of the commercial supermalls began to spread, the american consumerist dream was rampant with a greater demand of fast fashion, merchandise, and all kinds of strange trinkets for the average american to waste their money on. It was capitalism's wettest dream, but as the years went on there came a steady decline in popularity. Sometimes the competing businesses ended up putting each other out of stock, maybe the trends began dying off, and in certain areas consistent crime rates drove away costumers.

Then in the mid 2000's the stock market crash ended up pushing several people into poverty, the lower class unable to afford the luxury goods offered at shopping centers. Then online shopping took society in a deathgrip, further pushing away the desire for in-public purchasing. Brands took notice and began selling online-exclusive products. In the late 2010's the sightings of several "dead malls" were on an alltime high, some being left to rot while others were demolished all together in favor of empty concrete spaces.

Corporate response to this was one of two things; continously invest in the "Anchor Stores" (big chain stores like Macys or Forever 21 that brought in more customers, usually stationed at the ends of the mall). Meanwhile the smaller businesses inside would be shut down one by one to save costs, until eventually the anchor stores themselves would be forced to leave. Sometimes the Anchor Stores would leave beforehand, not wanting to waste money investing in a deadend location. the decline is faster, the mall rots quicker. The company sells the lot to the biggest buyer and destroys what little remains.

Then there are times where the mall itself is sold off to another bigger company, in hopes of more funds to rejuvenate the center. Majority of the time the mall will enter a large reconstruction designed to look more appealing, mor modern. In actually, the personality of the malls architecture is stripped like the skin of prey. The colors and vibrant shapes of the late 1900’s, the waterfalls with rocky beds and marbled beige tiles, all replaced in favor of sharp black on white edge and stainless steel fencing. The occasional shrub here or there, maintained by automation. Lights too bright, all glimmer, all space. Sometimes it works, sometimes the mall is reborn as the pinnacle of luxury again! Sometimes it rots in shiny chrome, a corpse dragged along in the hopes of attracting attention. All it does is stink and bloat, a miserable display.

I hope you begin to catch what im saying.

In Generation Loss, the Showfield Social Experiments are commentary on streamer culture and the damaging relationship between a content creator & their platform. Visualized by Ranboo being pushed into dangerous scenarios for the sake of entertainment, their disposable friends forced into the flat archetypes the fandoms have labeled them as.

They were all vibrant young folks once, bright with personality and that raw humanity filled with flaws and voice cracks. Shitty microphones and inconsistent uploads, some were barely finishing high school. Then they became big, almost too big. They were characters now, and just like Ranboo’s teammates the perception of them as humans were dumbed down to memorable trademarks. Streamers and Content Creators alike had to be marketable now, and when the time comes where they lost their popularity sometimes they sign off to groups and organizations to help boost them up again. They are stripped of their rawness again. Theres a reason their artforms are called “content”.

So it makes sense that Showfall Media, the personification of the content creators downfall, would do the same to a Mall. The corpse of the center is repurposed loosely to fit the studios purpose. It is empty, it is hollow, it is dead. Low costs, big risks- just like Gen Loss Ranboo.

basically

Content Creators are Dead Malls.

[grink]

i rly dont like segmenting groups that ought to stick together or making up a guy to get mad at or creating fake persecution stories (to the extent that thats even a real thing) or freaking out over things that dont matter when there are plenty of things that actually DO matter ok im extremely conscious of all this when i post to thousands of strangers on the internet. but im getting increasingly pissed off always hearing about how the lgbt community is growing so much as gen z becomes adults, meanwhile the reality for me and every trans woman i know is not just that the groomer debates and “what is a woman” rhetoric has been getting way worse the past few years leading to more and more harassment and assault from strangers both online and on the street. but also that, well, we’ve really just been excluded from these “queer” communities our entire fucking lives??? from my high school gsa and college queer circles that exist more for cishet women who listen to harry styles and watch drag race than they ever had for trans women, to the dyke bar next door that turns my friends away for not passing. from the recent explosion in popularity this year of people like taylor swift, rupaul, jkr, seen by most as advocates for progressive causes, to the hundreds of “all-gender” underwear brands that make nothing but boyshorts and binders. forgive me for needing some sort of explicit statement of support and ill generally be quiet about it cuz im lucky enough to have some wonderful trans women in my life and i dont need shit from you, but for my own safety i usually have to assume im not welcome until proven otherwise. please just do what you can to make the trans women around you safe

Another series of thoughts and ramblings that keep me up at night.

Can someone explain the meaning of the greatjar description because to ME this implies the shamans were practicing the jarring already but the hornsent saw it and went you son of a bitch I'm in ESPECIALLY if you look at Marika through the lens of her being a successful jar saint (which I don't subscribe to but I digress) or that she was an inspiration to shamans because she was an empyrean who became a god.

The hornsent clearly absorb other cultures of the past similar to the melting pot idea of the tower of Babel their entire tower is based on. So it could just be a practice that had holy religious meaning to the shamans taken and ramped up to mass production to redeem sinners and bastards in hornsent culture.

This also just comes off as a forced reluctance on the part of SOME of the potentates, and the cookbooks also support this, in addition to the caterpillar mask.

If they enjoyed this they wouldn't be haunted, they wouldn't need to wear a grotesque mask to hide doubt and temptation and other emotions that might make them stop doing their jobs. This just reeks that once again higher ups are forcing the lesser to do horrible things to people while they don't get their hands dirty.

This is also a direct callback to the omenkillers who instead of doing their grisly work out of religious act, they do it because they're bloodthirsty murderers, rollo even numbed himself to the horrors similar to how the caterpillar mask numbs the potentates.

Also, I have to stress, not once is Marika EVER referred to as a shaman, not once. She was from the village yes but she wasn't like them was she. Yes you could say she was shaman but she's only ever called an empyrean or numen. She has more ties to the eternal cities and the nox than shamans when it comes to in game texts but this is just more of a continuity nitpick than anything, because idk why she wouldn't be referred to as one unless it was some lowly title to associate queen Marika the eternal to or it's to hide the fact shamans even existed in the first place which is bizarre too. Why hide your heritage. Why hide your people. Unless you were guilty of doing something to them that you wanted to hide and keep secret ...

(there's a whole ass tree sentinel and you gotta get through the shadow keep thats not exactly a warm welcome home)

I just always found it rather suspect a small village like that supplied the amount of jars needed for the greater potentates to make the jars, unless the shamans themselves were "mass produced" and I still maintain they are the very first successful attempt at artificial life by the numen who eventually became nox, (and the carians are apparently related to the nox and they made the dumpy second gen albinaurics) but instead of silver they were gold, and you can clearly see gold strands in the meatball items.

Marika still didn't attack the land of shadow until she was married to radagon and had miquella and malenia so she must not have been too bent out of shape over it but the black knife assassins sure did seem to have a level of hatred for her to agree to kill her most beloved son and we know they were numens too so....... whatever Marika did to ascend didn't offend the hornsent into attacking her after she became a god. In fact, the churches in the lands of shadow tell us she was worshipped there but curiously her braids are shorter but equal in length, meanwhile the first church of Marika has a significantly longer right braid and a shorter left braid, and supposedly these churches were built after the giants were slain. But the timeline is vague.

The timeline is weird here but she ascended and waged war, and sealed the flame of ruin and started the age of the erdtree... Meaning she must have returned to the shaman village and cut her braid then, and left. But she didn't kill the hornsent then, and she waited until after the age of plenty after the sap had dried up, after Godfrey was hounded away, after her and radagon married and after miquella and malenia were born, to send messmer to war. WHY.

Also if this statue is depicting messmer as a baby that must mean he was born sometime before she cut her braid but perhaps after the giants.

Her braid is almost nearly the same length as her post giant war braid length, (and you can't see it in this picture but her left braid is behind her elbow and it's the same length) So she had messmer BEFORE she cut her braid and left the village forever. Perhaps maybe her prayer and wish was for messmer, who was cursed. She still confessed to something though....

......

Again, this doesn't erase the fact the hornsent were just like every other society where there was good and bad, the same as the golden order, but I'm sick to death of hearing "the hornsent deserved it, Marika was a victim" because of the shamans, when you can clearly see it's not black and white, and it did NOT warrant a genocide of that magnitude and Marika is not so innocent in this. She still committed not one but two genocides, possibly even more, waged war against everyone that stood against her, treated her children like tools or vessels, threw two of her children in the sewers to rot, abandoned messmer, apparently used Melina for a singular purpose of being kindling and even sealing the power of the gloam eyed queen behind her eye like she did to the abyssal serpent in messmer. Like, Marika is a fascinating character but she is not innocent and she is NOT a good person. Maybe once she was but it's long long gone by the time she ascends.

I´m sorry for the bad english because english is not my first language and don´t worry the ghoulette is old enough i or you are called because of how small you look like thats why :) and yes it is a romantic fanfic but hoooff well.. it took so long and you need to have some patience haha! Have fun reading! ♥

Sodo x fem reader

Warnings: Sodo is a little asshole shit. // 1505 Words //

// Chapter I //

The little Ghoulette and Sodo 

Sodo was sitting on a couch in the ghouls gen and reading a book quietly. then seconds later entered a little ghoulette the room, Sodos tail twitched. He put on his usuall smile. “Hello there”.

The small ghoulette jumped and turned around and saw him sitting on the couch looking at her. “Oh hi! didn´t know someone would be in here...” The little ghoulette said. Sodo chuckled, “You got the guts to come here, I see” he said teasingly, staring right at her eyes. “So, you like being in this room full of death and darkness?” The little ghoulette looked at him confused why he´s asking this... 

“I mean sure? I´m a ghoul, why should I be scared of death and darkness?”. Sodo tilted his head. “Fair, fair”. There was a pause. “Then, who are ya? I don´t think I saw you around?” The little ghoulettes eyes sparkled, finally someone who wants to talk to her! “Actually, I´m new here! Papa Copia found me somewhere outside in the street meanwhile he was collecting some rats? yeah and then he took me in!” said the little ghoulette smiling happy that she found a better “Family”.

“Papa Copia, huh?” Sodo raised an eyebrow. “I don´t think really think Papa Copia would find a ghoul outside and bring it in like its his cat”. The little ghoulettes tail twitched angryily. Sodo sighed “What else did he tell you?”

“Well, he saw me all dirty and bruised and told me that no ghoul should live this life...” Sodo smirked. “That explains why you´re so naive” he said, “This place isn´t for the weak” Sodo glanced at her small and weakly body. “Do you understand what I´m talking about?” The little ghoulette stared angry at him, she can´t believe the things he´s saying!. 

“I know and I am NOT naive!” “Yeah, sure” Sodo chuckled. “Look at yourself” he glanced at her. the little ghoulette looks down at herself and puts her arms around herself. “You look so unsecure, you´re skinny. Like you never held a weapon. your clothes and mask .... my goodness” he smirked again. “Do ya even know how to use that thing or dress yourself?” The little ghoulette gets more angry the more he insults her and her tail twitched and swings back and forth, then she opens her mouth and says “Just because I look small and weak doesn´t mean I can´t practice to hold a weapon or whatever,,!” 

“I´d like to see you try” he chuckled. “Maybe I really understimated you.         Why don´t you show how mighty you are!” he smirked. His eyes suddenly turned pitch black. “If you are brave enough.” The little ghoulette puffs and turns around “Fuck off! I don´t need to proof anything myself to you!” She opens the door to leave before Sodo smirked and said. “So, are ya leaving?” in a mocking tone. “Seems like someone couldn´t handle a little teasing”. Then he burst out laughing. The little ghoulette ignores him and Sodo watched her leave. “Oh, and just so you know” he said calling her but with a soft voice “Papa Copia and the others won´t be so nice as I was”.

Sodo chuckled “Hehe~..” He puts his legs on the table and taking his book again to continue, “This one´s a crybaby, I can see that... she won´t last long” he whispered to himself.

Meanwhile the little ghoulette stomping angryily to her room. Who does he think he is?! Asshole! I am NOT weak! she thought. She opens the door and closes it, she walks to her mirror and looked at herself. Well I really look weak... but with some training I can do this! She smiles. 

// Time Skip 1 Month later //

The little ghoulette got more stronger and can play a guitar, also can hold a weapon. This whole month she didn´t stopped with her training to show this mean asshole ghoul that she can do something and maybe, maybe that she can beat him in a fight..

The little ghoulette and Sodo met in a hallway and he smirked looked at her up and down. “Seems like you have already became much stronger.” The little ghoul stands looks proud of herself and smiles. “Congratulations, BUT you have so much still to learn” He put on his usual smirk “And I will show you it” He chuckled. “Follow me” The little ghoulettes smiles fell and sighed Ughh.. she started to follow him. 

The both went outside in a garden with much place to practice and fight. “So!” Sodo exclaimed, “You know how to hold a weapon, but do ya know how to use it properly?” he raised an eyebrow. The little ghoulette looks at him bored and raised also an eyebrow to mock him. She shows him how she holds a wooden sword and swings it perfectly. Sodo looks impressed and nods “Not bad” he said trying not to sound impressed “Alright, you have basic knowledge now” ..

“But do you know how to defend yourself” Sodo continued, he raises his arms and moves his hands as a come one! “So, go on, show me something you can use to defend”

The little ghoulette raises an eyebrow and looks at him dumbfounded and sighs. she runs to him and tackles him, next second Sodo is on the ground and groanin. Sodo blinked. “Wow... good job! I didn´t see that coming huh..” he smirked and stands up, “You have talent, keep going” The little ghoulette smirks and proud of herself for winning against Sodo “Hmmhm! see I told you” She said proudly.

He chuckled. “Alright, you´re not as weak as i thought you are. But, believe me” he said with a serious face “this is still nothing”. Sodo took his dagger out, twirling it around a bit. “Do you know how to fight agains an enemy with a dagger in the hand?” he asked. 

The little ghoulette rolls her eyes he really tries to think that i am so weak that i can´t fight against someone. She runs to him and again Sodo is on the ground now the little Ghoul is holding his dagger and twirling it as he did and mocks him “This dagger... it looks beautiful i think i will keep it!” 

Sodo on the ground looks at his hands but there is no dagger anymore. “Hey!” He exclaimed “Give it back! That´s my personal dagger!” 

“You should never think about stealing something from another ghoul!” he said sternly. “I don´t think you want to start your first real fight like that...Do you?” The little Ghoulette looks down at him and smiles, “Maybe? I mean is this not like a fight already? I got your dagger! Your dagger was stolen from a weaak. little. ghoouull.” teases him and smirks and laughs.

Sodo chuckled, “So, you wanna play that way, eh?” He smirked “Bring it on then!” He reached for another dagger and holds it tightly in his hand. “Let´s see what you can do little ghoul” The little ghoulette looks angry at him and then they start to fight and keep going. Sodo manages to scratch her cheek with his dagger but the little ghoulette ignores the pain and keeps going. Sodo swings his dagger at her arm but she blocks it with her dagger and pushes Sodo away. 

After like ten minutes of fighting Sodo lays on the ground AGAIN. both are breathing heavily. The little ghoulette holds now his second dagger at her hand and smiles. Sodo lait there for a moment. “Wow, you´re impressive. I´ll admit it” he muttered. “Just don´t get overconfident!, there´s always someone better than you” He stood up, brushing dust of himself.. Sodo smirked. “You still have a long way to go to become skilled, though”.

The little ghoulette puffs and looks at him grinning at him “I am more skilled then you...” Sodo laughed. “Is that so? Then come again” He smirked. “I wonder how a rematch will end” The little ghoulette shakes her head, she can´t believe that he still wants to try again after he lost against her! “Again? You lost. and lost against me! don´t try again” she laughs “And I need some food anyway so I go.”

Sodo watched shocked at her and gets a little angry “You think I´m going to let you leave after insulting me like that?” He raised his eyebrows. The little ghoulette starts to walk away from Sodo ignoring him. “Get back here! I am not done with you yet!” Sodo grabbed her by her wrist. The little ghoulette takes his hand, pulls on his arm and throws him at the ground. “No touchi touchi again after I ate!” said the little ghoul moving her finger at him leaving. 

Sodo groaned, standing up and shaking the dust off. “Humph, she sure is cocky” He muttered. “I think she got potential. Perphaps, I should keep an eye on her” watched her body leaving. But just wait. The next time I´ll get my dagger back he smirked.

MK and Mei shouting things like "No Bitches" and "Boomer" at Erland and Nezha trying to hold back laughing

nah fr FR they would bully him like a couple of middle schoolers.

Wukong and Macaque are doing NOTHING to stop them. Nezha is trying to pull them away while also trying desperatly not to laugh. pigsy and tang are concerned and Sandy plans a lecture about kindness.

Meanwhile Mk and Mei are still spewing insults. Left and right. Laughing at him at the stupidest things.

Ynow how Gen Z just has the wierdest and most out of pocket/random humor or insults. yeah thats whats happening here.

"tf is that on your forehead a birthmark?"

"i think thats bird shit"

"OHMYGOD MK SHUT.UP. THATS SO RUDE.

"i said what i said"

"aaaaa you said what you said"

My Black Myth WuKong hot take is this:

The game is good.

Not great.

Not groundbreaking.

Not next-gen.

Just good.

To have been made by a team of 30, really good. But that's all.

I was expecting a GoW, cinematic experience with DMC or Bayonetta style combat. And while the boss fights are great, and the setting is gorgeous, the game feels very passing average. The combat system thus far is just spam square while occasionally pressing a heavy attack button. And also remember to dodge. And that's really it. Yeah there's transformations, items and a few rpg mechanics, and spells, but the combat genuinely doesn't feel varied enough to me in comparisons to it's contemporaries.

I do not think that having no block or parry button was a good idea. This concept was MADE for Sekiro style parrying. Don't make me Sun Wukong and never let me parry an opponents attack. Like why bro?

As of right now I am level 19 and I am handling most bosses with about the same level of effort as I'd need for a GOW boss on normal mode. So I'm having fun, but I can't pretend this game doesn't make me wanna play GOW or Darksiders III or some similar game that did combat better.

For example, using just one weapon alone in the GOW series will give you several different combos and ranged attacks. You can play the whole game with just the blades of Athena or the leviathan axe and you won't feel the combat get stale. You have so many options for how to handle enemies with one weapon that using other weapons can sometimes be an afterthought. Meanwhile in Black Myth, I desperately wish I could do more varried combos earlier in the game. I'm damn near level 20 and my best strategy is still to spam square till I'm about to get hit, dodge, then heavy attack when I see an opening. And thats all. I never have to try harder than that or mix up my strategy.

Good game. But not because it does anything special or better than anything that came before it. The only thing that truly feels special about this game is it's setting and characters. That alone carries the game. But if it weren't for that, I dare say this game would be getting slightly lower review scores. I go so far as to say that this game feels like something I could've played on PS3 or PS4. One or two consol generations ago, I'd say 9-10 amazing. But this time around, this feels like a very last generation gaming experience to me.

I'd give this game a hard 7-10.

6.5 - 10 if I were being a stickler.

hello there mister almond sir i just read your Misfortune infodump and i. am intrigued. i would like to hear more pretty please /nf

MISFORTUNE RANT PART 2💥💥 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ASK BWAAA/GEN ...

part 1 here

so . Unfortunately i am a sucker for fluff and also capchat so that is precisely the ending my fanon gets HXVDKDB

langue comes to visit cappu in her office the day after he saw misfortune again and finds her like half dead with a hangover and theyre like Hey. What the fuck happened. shes a little hesitant because yknow not everyone will believe you when you say theres a giant 10 foot raven inside of you!! but he tells langue EVERYTHING and based on what cappu tells them. They believe her!! they are horrified and greatly disgusted (thhey dont like the thought of a giant bird covered in blood crawling in and out of cappus mouth so they make her swish out his mouth before they kiss him /hj)

but langue is a stubborn fuck. a perfectionist and an overachiever. they are going to fight misery itself just to prove they can. So!! misfortune feeds off of cappuccino being miserable? then they just have to make her life As good and lovely as possible so that he never feels miserable. or at least not enough for it to feed off of her

they manage to convince their parents (who were never very fond of cappu and just saw her as a bad influence for their precious lovely child) to let cappu move in with them temporarily and they quickly start to adore him because Of Course They Do. Langue is going to nag him about every little thing until he Actually Does It so eventually they manage to get him a proper sleep schedule, wean her off of cigarettes, heavily cut her daily coffee intake, and most importantly keep her from being isolated so often. Love wins !

obviously it takes a loong time and misfortune is NOT happy that this little fuck is managing to ignore all of the disasters its causing (falling furniture. fires. shattered windows. anything it can manage to do) and somehow not die from any of it and eventually They succeed ! Cappuccino is actually happy! even though misfortune still tries to make her life a living hell she now has support from langue AND their parents and so shes able to actually push through and recover from his bad luck instead of just having to sit there and endure it (or desperately find ways to escape it)

right now the silly ending is misfortune senses a very very miserable being walking down the street and goes to hide in them instead but it turns out it was ROGUEFORT and misfortune has thousands of year old beef with their sentient cloak goddess (lupine) and it escapes heavily weakened.

it is so itty bitty now. but it has found that movie theaters produce a good amount of misery for it to feed off of and it lives in there now lol. Diversity win! The spirit of misfortune likes popcorn!

this is all just a silly ending though idk if its canon or not . Either way misfortune leaves cappu and finds another victim HXBDKFB

meanwhile cappu is FUCKING DYING!!! It clawed its way out of his chest since it no longer cared if she died or not and had no use for her it just left her to die. Thankfully it was in langues house so he was rushed to a hospital as soon as langue saw her with his chest literally wide open (they frew up) and Cappu Survived!!!!

thats basically it HXVDKF cappu rides in a car while conscious for the first time in years when langues parents drive her home from the hospital and he is an Anxious Mess because of how many accidents hes been in and how its caused her to be absolutely terrified of cars. but langue is there to hold his hand and. um. yeah just kind of hold her hand because they are AWFUL at comforting people. But their parents try to say some comforting things !!! poor thang is trembling

if anyone has any questions i would love to answer :3!! i love this silly raven thang so much

[malwarechips]

im gonna ramble about little details in my rw designs that i like a lot hold on

spears has sun's marking on the back of their neck !!! and theyre also intentionally designed to be like! the slugcat version of uncanny!!! their ears rest pointing up by default when to every other slugcat that's a sign of aggression!! their snout is just a LIIITLE too long for a slugcat!! THEY HAVE FOUR EYES . not to mention the lack of a fucking mouth but thats a canon thing

SAINT ISNT EVEN A SLUGCAT . THEYRE THE ANCESTOR OF SLUGCATS. THEYRE A PIPESLUG. THEYVE BEEN HERE FOR SO LONG THAT THEIR SPECIES HAS EVOLVED AND PROGRESSED BEYOND THEM. ONE OF THE REASONS THEY CANT THROW SPEARS IS THEIR HANDS ARENT ADVANCED ENOUGH TO GET A GRIP. ONE OF THE REASONS THEY CANT EAT MEAT IS THEIR TEETH ARE FALLING OUT DUE TO THEIR AGE . KARMA FLOWERS WILT AROUND THEM .

riv is based on an otter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and they have a squid beak !!!!!!!!! theyre just a little wet freak !! maybe i'll even give them cuttlefish pupils !!!! (dude i want to do that now) their hands and feet are webbed and they have a fucking DORSAL FIN like a FISH

this is more of a headcanon than a design thing but THE REASON INV'S CAMPAIGN IS SO FUCKED IS BECAUSE THEYRE LITERALLY CURSED. THEY ENTER A REGION AND IT JUST SPONTANIOUSLY FUCKS UP AND GOES BACK TO NORMAL WHEN THEY LEAVE . YES IT IS CONFUSING AS FUCK TO EVERYONE ELSE PEBBLES WAS SO FUCKING CONFUSED .

NIGHTCAT'S WHISKERS LOOK LIKE SHOOTING STARS . ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAAAASE PLEASE . I AM SO PROUD OF IT I LOVE IT SO SO SO MUCH

monk is just a banana :) they have little spots!

GOURMAND ! HAS !! LITTLE CHIN TASSLE THINGS !! KINDA LIKE !!!! SNAILS AND SLUGS . LITTLE GUY! !!!!!!!!!!!

HUNTER HAS A PEARL ON THEIR EAR LIKE AN EARRING ! ITS A DATA PEARL FROM SIG THAT'S JUST SOME BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT THEM IN-CASE THEY SOMEHOW WANDERED TO AN ITERATOR UNRELATED TO THEIR TASK . also their scars are blue because imevil

ARTI . ARTI .F UCKING ARTI . ARTI IS ROUNDED. HER SCARS ARE POINTY. BEFORE HER SCARS SHE WAS VERY ROUND BUT NOW SHES VERY ANGULAR BUT ONLY ON HER SCARS ITS JUST MOST OF HER IS SCARS . TO SHOW HOW HER PERSONALITY HAS CHANGED . SHE'S GOTTEN SHARPER.

survivor is just purple and i like that. thats all really .

sig tore off the main part of his antennae in an act of defiance against the ancients and you can still see the very base of them !! he still has the proper base like the little round part but he also has little sticks coming out of those that were originally what his antennae were mounted to !!!!! also he has little purple accents outside of his clothing and scarf bcz yaay purple yipee yahoo

suns is meant to look kinda like a dragon because why not !!!

wind's antennae are like a little cartoon gust of wind !!!!!

pebbles and innocence have very similar antennae because theyre both gen 3 iterators !!!!!!!!!!!

OLDER ITERATORS HAVE MORE VISIBLE JOINTS THAN NEWER ITERATORS AS THE ANCIENTS SLOWLY LEARNED TO COVER THEM. FOR EXAMPLE MOON IS VERY VERY VISIBLY A ROBOT MEANWHILE PEBBLES KINDA JUST LOOKS LIKE HE HAS SKIN . THE ONLY VISIBLE MECHANICAL THING ON PEBBLES IS THE ARM AND HIS ANTENNAE . and also he has vents on his side all the iterators have that i felt like it

ok i think im done now
