#sorry I can’t stop shitposting #don’t come at me with the whole oh 2/2 has two choices so joker can choose not to do it so it’s not valid he SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED IT #IT WORKS IN SPIRIT #after he made all his friends give up their wishes #after being like maruki we’re going to stop you #maruki then pulls out the akechi card and jokers like ok well shit #look. He considered.#he seriously considered it. The only thing stopping him is akechi #literally comparing rank 10 and non rank 10 akechi choices for lavenza after third sem joker has regret options #like his regret is literally leaving akechi to his fate of assumed death #OK #IT WORKS IN SPIRIT.#and the twewy one is just. the interview that said Neku fully expected Shibuya to be gone #and that’s why he says what the hell #actually rip neku because he had to choose in ten seconds #at least joker had like. 3 dialogue options.#LOL #p5r #persona 5 protagonist #twewy #sakuraba neku #ngl neku might be more insane because Joshua is Joshua #persona 5 #yeah this is shuake.

i'm having hyperfixation drought so i did what i did best and created a crossover episode

#trafficblr #life series #hermitcraft #qsmp #the drought's been crazy i had to make qsmp x life series/hermitcraft you don't understand i literally had to #i literally cannot tag all of the cubitos without going over the limit so i'm gonna use them to rant about these doodles instead #when i tell you that i think dl!pearl would've loved tilín i'm telling you i think she would've LOVED them like.#something about just wanting to find love at every turn but feeling unwanted spdihgpisadhfpa. and also tilín's name is similar to tilly LOL #the jelly egg is just like if the double life jelly pandas were just an egg that scar loves with all his heart and grian reluctantly accept #i think out of all the duos in qsmp. the one i would want to see in the dl soumate premise the most is slimeriana. it's the dysfunctionalit #i made a post in the past about pac and tango being my fav cubitos bcs they were both crazy cartoonish and like scientists #but it kinda felt like a disservice to leave mike and zedaph out because to me they're argubly crazier and more cartoonish #missa and tim are paired bcs i just really wanted an excuse to draw the wet cats and it just so happened they both have relations to death #skizz and jaiden as the lawyers who were SHOCKINGLY good at their jobs like they cooked with that one #(was also gonna draw joe and roier as bad lawyers but i was running outta steam)#someone's already made a post about grian and (el) quackity and their eye entities so not much elaboration needed there #fit and etho just give the same vibe to be as a dude who has a reputation and is well-known and seems intimidating #i also made fit's arms way too skinny and i don't like it...but i'm not gonna go back and change it now i spent embarassingly long on this #but then his silliness is brought out by The Narrative #foolish and bdubs is one of my favorite drawings because i just knew i wanted to highlight the silly height difference #just realized they're also both god-like figures at least at some point #cellbit and rendog. cat and dog and lore. enough said about their connection.#i couldn't decide who fit etoiles combat hungry anime protagonist vibe best bcs martyn was originally paired with him #but i wanted martyn with phil so i went with my second options: joel and gem #i couldn't draw them mid rage but essentially the title is derived from “WHO KILLED EMPANADA” and “do me a favor. die for me.”#philza minecraft and martyn inthelittlewood. they feel like twins but one is evil (it's martyn)#SOMETHING I FORGOT THAT I WISH I ADDED: BBH AND BIGB AS THE ENTITIES WHO LIE. I HATE MYSELF HOW COULD I FORGET THAT #if i were to pair impulse with someone it would be tubbo? either him or scar would've been with tubbo #and then lizzie i just did not know who i wanted to pair her with. no one really does it like her in my opinion #scott's someone i also had no idea who to put him with he's just so...him...

pouring one out for luo binghe in my disciple SQQ fic, poor guy has taken a backseat here. we're nearly 30k words deep and he hasn't even shown his face once. it'll be much longer before he even actually talks to Shen Qingqiu.

(i say im pouring one out but in reality im sitting in my director's chair chewing on a cigar and wearing a beret as he tearily and unsuccessfully pleads with me for more scenes with Shen Qingqiu)

#svsss #disciple shen yuan #scum villain #shen qingqiu #shen yuan #SQQ: building his found family on QJP and Plotting #LBH: idk off sniffing rocks somewhere while on one of his protagonist adventures #i say im pouring one out for him but in reality im laughing at him. sorry my guy you are just NOT my priority. be a better peak lord #tell your disciples to stop with the institutionalized peak hierarchy and the internal political intrigue and MAYBE we'll talk #oh he cant hear me he's wearing airpods. welp. *stares at LQG and YQY* more SQQ time for you then!#its funny because i do love bingqiu i just decided to write a fic exploring a roleswap concept i saw where LBH wasnt a good peak lord #and the concept itself didnt explore what consequences might occur if LBH was as inactive a PL as LQG was before redeeming him #like if BZP can go lord of the flies while unsupervised what happens if you leave QJP the same way?? political court intrigue and sabotage #being the protagonist and going on many adventures is great and all.... if you aren't tied down with the responsibilities of a peak lord.#binghe. binghe. binghe. binghe. your head disciple has instated a hierarchy on your peak and routinely sabotages the cultivation of the #junior disciples by actively disrupting their learning by sending them off to do menial chores that should be distributed equally across #the peak. binghe. he's gonna get someone killed. binghe. BINGHE. you're inadvertently creating a generation of cultivators who harbor #resentment against you specifically bc you failed to care and protect them as their shizun. BINGHE. DO YOU HEAR ME? BINGHE #oop. i guess not. SQQ time to organize a covert resistance group. i mean a secret study group that also doubles as an organization dedicate #to ruining Li Tao's reputation and standing amongst the rest of the sect. by boys! have fun storming the castle!#tldr unsweetened lemonade is: 'i force SQQ into a position of no power where keeping his head down is not an option bc neither the system #+ nor his surrounding peakmates will let him fade into the BG. and there's no LBH around for him to wifebeam into the Fave Disciple spot'#its also a 'SY and SJ are the same person' fic bc i love the trope and having a disciple SY where he's also SJ is such a specific niche #that i'll just have to write it myself in order to see it. im having a blast with it. im gonna give him SO much found family.#liushen and yueshen(? qijiu?) are fighting for 1st while poor bingqiu is trying to claw its way out of 3rd with minimal success #good fucking luck babe you gotta fight SQQ's seven evil disciples first. THEN you gotta fight Liu Qingge and Yue Qingyuan.#and then you gotta fight me. romance isnt even in the cards for this fic they're fighting for the SUBTEXT.#roll for disadvantge binghe

Guys, ghosties, please keep the tr!BBH theories coming because I for one cannot figure out what the fudge is happening on my own unless someone does it first lmao. Let's be real though, the muffin man himself ain't gonna reveal anything anytime soon so maybe we should all just do a coin flip. Heads says he rejected heaven's gates and became a demon gremlin again, tails says he didn't reject heaven and is carrying out some kind of divine mission- or maybe it won't even matter because he's actually a secret third option we don't even have the clues to understand- *explodes*

#the realm smp #badboyhalo #trsmp #tr!bad #this feels like the soul vulture arc again with ppl talking about euphrates and bringing up bible lore and it feels right at home lmao #or actually maybe the secret third option is that he's actually a yaoi protagonist from some kind of bl that got reincarnated into the realm

#dbtag #silly hours #god #I feel like that's a really clear and consistent thing throughout the entirety of the manga but OTL leave it to Toei!!!!#lays on the floor I wish people were less afraid of letting “good guys” be flawed and selfish and reckless without having to like.#idk vilify them?#like Goku does and always has had a ton of negative qualities about him but what keeps him a protag and what keeps those negatives charming #is that 1) he never promises to be anything Else. If you're upset by his behavior that's a you problem Goku's just doing Goku #He's only upset when Other People get hurt because 2) almost none of those negative qualities contain any malice whatsoever #even as a kid when he was 'i killed that guy' it was like 'i solved a problem why are you mad (gen)' not 'good fucking riddance lol'#and he kept that as an adult too even when he learned more about compassion he's still 'well if you're not gonna stop i have to kill you'#it's never 'fuck off and die' it's always 'listen buddy either you knock it off or i knock you out there is no option c '#and god i love that Goku. I spent so long thinking I hated Goku growing up but I only hated Toei's Goku. Toriyama's Goku is GREAT.#like look if an antagonist is just a hero with the wrong perspective a hero is just a villain with the right one #and the fact that Goku has all of the qualities of a villain with none of the malice or intention makes him SO POWERFUL as a character #Goku doesn't like bystanders getting hurt. That doesn't make him less chaotic and self-centered and simplistic in his worldview.#A hero sacrifices his loved ones to save the world -- a villain sacrifices the world to save his loved ones --#Goku sacrifices himself because you cannot kill him in any way that matters #idskahds anyway here's another essay in the tags for your wednesday evening scroll #the justification the interviewer gave was that the anime was for kids but my beef with that is that Hero Tropes strip chaotic characters #of their emotions. Goku's conflicts are emotional. Goku's power is emotional. Goku's childlikeness keep him authentically emotional.#MORE kids -- ESPECIALLY little boys -- deserve a male protagonist who leans into his emotions to persevere and win.#Super deciding his “angelic state” would kill him makes me want to tear my hair out lmao Goku's EMOTIONS are too strong to hold it.#you could've just asked toriyama about it why'd you decide on the most basic high-stakes shorthand possible OTL #aNYWAY #media analysis #in the tags at least lol

hello ive been bedridden for like three days now so i was messing around w this picrew, here r some ideas for my other doomed prisoners (the protagonists of the other mainline games)

Talyn, The Eternal Champion

Izath, The Agent

my Nerevarine, who is not yet named bc i cant think of anything and is just "Nera" wherever i mention them in my own notes and im probably getting attached to that as a name

Cornelia, Hero of Kvatch

#i only know the super basic stories for the other games but theyre all canon to eryn's story so #weee #i do specifically know that Talyn was Ria's wife when she was killed #dont ask me what ending izath chose bc the canon answer is apparently ''all of them''#of these four cornelia is the most fleshed out #followed by talyn bc i think its interesting that the protagonist of arena actually has a canon name and backstory #i just tweaked it a bit bc talyn is a cooler spelling #and we all love tragic yuri #anyways hi and hello and goodbye again #no eryn bc i cant make this picrew make her look like herself it doesnt have great short curly hair options #and theres screenshots of eryn somewhere on this blog so #ye #she/her for all of them except nera who is they/them until i decide on more of their character

I finished Planescape Torment... what a strange little game...

#very interesting that while it's a very character-centric story there were revelations that the protagonist learnt but the player didn't #(eg his true name or the crime he originally committed)#and it's true that it's irrelevant to the point of this story #I played the way god intended (easiest difficulty avoid all combat and don't even step into optional dungeons)#which unfortunately means I missed one of the companions 😔

just started playing disco elysium and started connecting dots so behold: the product of me opening ibispaint at 4:am:

alternatively:

#slay the princess #dialtown #disco elysium #is this anything?#i <3 games where the protagonist doesnt even know their name #i <3 games where theres a Guy who has to tell you what to do #i <3 games where i carefully consider each dialogue option because theyre all equally funny #i <3 games that make me think and feel a lot amid the jokes #i <3 games where i rly try to make choices that feel true to me while also thinking ‘i would not fucking say that’#i <3 slay the princess i <3 dialtown i <3 disco elysium #(even tho ive barely played that last one so far)#idk is this anything?#it is to me

i'm really curious about what went on with rook's dialogue though because it's pretty clear to me that the hawke-style splitting of dialogue was a late game addition they shoehorned in really badly. but also i feel like they might have added some extra options where there was supposed to be auto-fire dialogue, and half-finished implementing the hawke personality system. because something about the whole thing just feels SO wrong and weird.

#crossed arms rook make SO many weird jokes that id associate with purple hawke. and the one time i chose the purple option #because i was so annoyed with the crossed arms choices he just sounded bitter and humourless? what goes on?#maybe I'll replay when someone makes one of those mods that swaps dialogue wheel text with what's actually said lol #i personally dont mind the dialogue wheel much usually. necessary evil.#i just want to try and untangle what happened with this protagonist.#because with the inquisitor i can see what went wrong. but rook it felt like there was a bug stopping them from working properly

thinking about the real horror in pidw being the complete and utter lack of agency if you're a woman. none of the women have any choice in liking luo binghe - or at least, thinking he's hot. they don't have a choice in wanting to fuck him, because the protagonist can't be a rapist, even if his creator calls him such. no, they have to want it, even if their desire is deep down. there's no option for them to not want him. it's straight up not written into the fabric of the world.

#writing my bang fic and thinking about this #isn't it crazy? that there's no option for them to not like lbh? that because he's the protagonist #it's part of the world?#scum villain #scum villian self saving system #mxtx #to be clear i do think that lbh is also a victim of the world but that's a whole different post

musing about what a translation of the silt verses would sound like and immediately running headfirst into the problem of whether and how to translate 'Sister Carpenter'

#Faulkner too but i feel like his reads less immediately like an occupation #for him i think 'broeder Marlon' has the right vibes and still alludes to falconry without being too in your face about it #but carpenter... oof. a literal translation doesnt work A) because its basically the surname of a v well known politician #and B) it ends in man #dutch has too many compound words that prevent most trade names from the possibility of gaining the extra meaning of a proper name #or at least make that more difficult. or maybe its cause im not natively english but i did know what a carpenter was #however smthn like 'furniture-maker' would never work as your protagonists name. but thats how most of these names are in dutch #so far ive got Molenaar (:/) Coster (sounds better but the meaning is off) Kuiper (sounds like a football stadium) or Tichelaar #(good cadence and an actual trade but idk if the vibes match 'carpenter'#)#tsv #the silt verses #de zavelverzen #joos yaps #dutch #broeder Valkenaer kan ook wel eigenlijk #i already found yet more options for carpenter... but none of them rlly snap into place #Zuster Sagher? (zager)

(Explore) First, I wanna know about this princess I’m supposed to slay.

What an odd choice, isn’t it? A story of a hero and a princess in which the hero is tasked with slaying said princess. But doesn’t that flip in the script make it all the more intriguing? What kind of princess is this that needs slaying

Or perhaps… she really is just a regular old princess, and that, by itself, is threatening as a monarch is an inherent evil for the world as a whole.

Oh, apologies, you’re probably looking for a more objective answer rather than these musings. Well, I’m afraid I can’t tell you much, that would spoil the story! A narrator of my caliber would never do such a thing. Critical information shall only be provided when the time is right.

Anyway… as much as this chit-chat has been a nice change of pace for me, this isn’t really doing much in terms of progressing with the story, is it? It’s my job as a narrator to move the narrative along and keep it from slogging, and I’m afraid we’re getting too close to slog territory, and I can’t let you keep slogging it up.

So– Hmmm. Let’s see…

#pretend the last option says “Hey! What if I wanna slog it up? What if I wanna a different story? You know what– [Turn around and leave]”#Tumblr has a limit for polls answers. so had to shorten it 😔#Displaced Narrator AU #slay the princess #the stanley parable #stp protagonist #tsp narrator #tsp fanfic #stp fanfic #crossover au #choose your own adventure #sal writes

i think limes magic res would ironically make him the protagonist of any kind of shenanigans that involved a magic world transformation. like if they get locked in a magic house and everything inside turns into an adventure land and everyone turns into little toys or something, mochi included, except lime with his ridiculous resistance while the bad guy (??) stands there scratching his head wondering why lime didnt get shoved into the little fun world

#anything that involves a spell put on mochi (and optionally everyone else) immedately turns lime into the protagonist #hes happy about it though. he lowkey gets to be the link to her zelda in those niche situations pre-timeskip #bad guy: haha you stepped into my magic realm now youre a helpless doll in a world full of monsters #lime: (smashes his face in with his bat)

"why didn't we have the option to tell Kieran the truth this is bad game design" linear story enjoyers when the story is linear:

#pokemon #pokemon scarlet violet #to be clear this is specifically about people acting like the writers were in the wrong to give the protagonist defined traits #slash put them in a position where what they might want to do seems like the Bad option #keep in mind - and i'll keep saying it as many times as i need to - Florian/Juliana WANTED to tell Kieran #Literally The Only Choice right after Ogerpon flees is to try to tell Kieran #the only reason we don't is because Carmine and then her grandad both ask us not to For His Own Sake

#poll #speaking of polls. i am curious to see what opinions this might turn up #oedipous #antigone #ismene #creon and jocasta should probably be options but i'm asking this for my own benefit rather than actually grouping together protagonists
