seriously have been thinking about this all night long. call me autistic but the fact that 90% of workplaces the point is not to get your work done and then be done doing it but to instead perform an elaborate social dance in which you find something to do even when you're done doing everything you need to do in order to show your fellow workers that you, too, are Working . because you are at Work . disgusting why cant we all agree that if there is no work immediately to be done. we just dont do anything

forever grateful for actors who look at their scene partner's mouth when they talk. they're really those little hand hold supports on the indoor rock climb that is fanon shipping

[cthulhum]

does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship

i know that binghe being extremely jealous isn’t “normal” or “sane” but i’m honestly on his side here. like his concerns that sqq will be stolen from him are pretty rational. i really think that almost every scum villain character, in the event that sqq would want to papapa with them, would agree almost immediately. sqq is the xianxia equivalent of helen of troy.

That's what you said to me, right? Standing in my blood, stroking my hair.

(slight, vague spoilers ig?) about the HEA route, were we always intended to dislike smitten and his actions here were clarifying that intent, or was it more like character development? I've been seeing more people say that his actions here have made them dislike him during other routes too, so I wasn't sure if he was always supposed to be difficult to like or not

The voices are, among other things, manifestations of the player's emotions. Even the best things in life can be destructive in excess, and in terms of voices, this is far from being a unique characteristic of the Smitten. See also: Cage!Skeptic; Tower!Broken; Witch!Opportunist, etc. etc.

Smitten in HEA is an interesting stand-out case because the route hits particularly close to home for a lot of players. And when something in a fantastical setting hits close to home, there's a tendency to apply real world standards to the characters involved in that event. So players are more likely to take Smitten to task, than they are, say, Hunted, who traps you in a cycle where you and The Den violently eat each other forever, or Broken, who insists on torturing Apotheosis.

If anything, prior to release, I thought Smitten-heads would mostly be upset at his lack of screen time. He has almost *no* dialogue in The Pristine Cut, even in "his own" route, where the role he serves is more that of an echo than that of an active participant. I liked abby's answer in our AMA.

All of this is to say, there's no overarching intention for you to "like" one voice or "dislike" another. Each iteration of them is "different," much like each iteration of the Player is "different" at the start of each version of Chapter 1. And all of them have the capacity to change, for better or for worse.

okay i was rewatching into the spider-verse after watching across the spider-verse and noticed something during the scene where miles meets his universe's peter for the first time.

peter's spider senses are red and blue, the classic spiderman colors

but miles's are purple and green... like another version of miles i can think of 👀

one of my favorite things charlie's done ever is just Decide that qmariana uses he/she pronouns. making all his own characters gay and trans isn't enough he needs to make everyone else queer too

House M.D. but it's when Wilson says House's name

[bestagons]

Yes, Phil, we know.

I just noticed Angel here lmaooo

I love how often he’s silently watching the goings-on around him like, “that’s hot.”

I've been having a delightful time stumbling over my emojis being used in random servers, so here's more

every single time Akechi says "you really are (x), Joker" (or something similar) in P5R

In no particular order:

"You really are intriguing. I bet you'd make for a worthwhile debate partner on the subject."

"You really are an intriguing one."

"In any case, you truly are interesting. You never cease to intrigue me."

"I see. So we even share that perspective, do we…? You truly are fascinating."

"*chuckle* You truly are intriguing."

"I'm sorry if I'm prying. You truly are interesting."

"You truly fascinate me. I'll happily accept your gift."

"Haha, you truly are well-composed."

"Hahaha, you truly are intriguing."

"Leading your team this far in search of an infiltration route… You are truly amazing…"

"50,000 coins, hm? …You truly are special, Joker."

"You really are― No, never mind."

"You truly are interesting… Quiet, yet possessing the courage and determination to take action."

"Heh… After all this, that's what you have to say? Seriously, you really are…"

"You really are a strange one. You do realize talking to me is a waste of valuable time, right?"

the quiet show of support from kim despite his own nerves... the playful ribbing between the two of them... the image of kim lending a crying harry his handkerchief, doing what he can to dry this broken man's tears....... these moments are really making me feel some type of way alright
