Children: Never has, never will. She is not parent material, and she knew that even before the events of Mass Effect happen. Will be a cool aunt and babysit if needed but she does not want to be the first choice. She does not want the responsibility of a child if she can help it.

Pets: she gets a hamster in me2 as a way to help her cope with her reanimation. Post war on Rannoch, she gets an alien cat

Thoughts on Padmé x Anakin x Rex?

Padmé and Anakin are so mutually obssesed they would first have to check into that before trying to bring another person to their carefully-balanced-kind-of-damage or something it's going to explode.

Honestly it's a fun ship! But I don't have too many thoughts about them because when I consider them is usually in very low-stakes-fun-AU-scenarios.

And I'm actually a bit of a fan of Rexwalker myself! Athough I tend to like them more as very good buddies, the covering-for-you-dynamic it's so funny for them, lol It's also angsty and complicated because, y'know, the power-imbalance and unchecked trauma? Is funny that the clone that's actually a slave for the republic is the most normal if you bring him into the anidala romance circus.

Also shout out to @phoenixyfriend , she has a lot of rexanidala fics and recs for anyone interested reading this!

i wanna say it was in episode 3 after the boxing match when i was struck with the intense need to savor every second of mentopolis.

the mental image of a conrad driving with so much reckless abandon that the car is like half off the ground as it speeds away, hunch and dan bumping around in the backseat on either side of ivana who in comparison looks bolted down to the seats, money flying out and trailing behind them as justin hangs his head out the window...

all i could think was "oh this is the best." like the best. and while i do agree that 6 episodes is a perfect length for the season, what with them running at the speed of thought and all, i could also fully see them working with a 15-20 ep season just as smoothly.

and i don't just mean that as "this season would have been better with more eps" cuz tbh i don't think it would have been better, so much as it just would have been different. they could never make anything more and i'd still be satisfied. what i'm saying is that i think it'd make a great length as a second season.

which would be a great opportunity for brennan to flesh out the world elias lives in, while also allowing for more in-depth character development from the pcs.

this first season could act as a prologue to the world of mentopolis. and then the second season immediately kicks off with elias dealing with the aftermath in some way. maybe witness protection wasn't enough and now he's on the run from gobstopper industries. or maybe it was but now he has to learn how to adjust to living as a person with needs again after being alone and overworked for so long.

and as he navigates this new relationship, the attention from the press, the looming question of what now what next— we get to see how our prefrontal pis are doing as their lives were also flipped upside-down by this change in elias' life. cuz regardless of how positive and welcome a change may be, there is still a rather difficult adjustment period as you attempt to decipher where your place is in this new-normal.

ok this is going to sound crazy but hear me out: undertale might be the best game ever.

when i say a statement like that, i don’t mean it as “undertale is my favorite game ever.” if i’m being honest, it probably doesn’t even crack my top 5. i also don’t mean “undertale is objectively amazing and you’re wrong for disliking it.” there’s been plenty of critiques of undertale, and i think all are valid. besides, there will never be a game that every single person enjoys playing, no game will be fun to everyone, and that’s just a fact of life.

what i mean is that there’s no other game that has had a similar impact, and i don’t mean impact in terms of scale, let me explain.

throughout the history of art, art is made with the intention to create something meaningful and impactful. the earliest known art found is the apollo 11 stones found in africa, and while we will never be sure if these were created for recreation, religion, or some other purpose, we can assume they were made because someone, even if it was just one person, thought it would be important. and art has continued to exist for a number of reasons, but it was mostly for recreation, fun, or artistic expression.

i’m unsure of when, but somewhere along the way, art began to be culturally recognized and enjoyed, and as such it began to churn profit. when technology arose to new forms of art in the 1900s, it was created for artistic reasons, but was quickly funded to create profit. but there’s no specific movie or music album that changed public perception of those forms of art, instead they were recognized as art gradually throughout decades. this isn’t true for video games.

unlike film and unlike music, video games were invented for the sole purpose of making money. and i can’t really be mad about that, there’s not a lot of meaningful art one could produce using an atari, or original nintendo.

back to undertale, i’m not calling it the first video game created for the purpose of being art. games like yume nikki, and other early 2000s/late 90s games probably hold that title. but undertale was likely the first popular game that was created like that.

undertale, a low budget game made almost entirely out of recreation, funded by community interest outgrew multi-million dollar games out of sheer quality. it showed a generation of people, my generation of people, that games could be more than just a product. and that’s kinda cool i think.
