why are they batshit insane

part of me wants to read the wheel of time books, but I also know they have significantly less lesbianism and women being the main focus than the show adaptation 😞😞

Sometimes in video game when you take control over establish character it feels like you are in control now, you can shape their life however you want, you can completely destroy it and they can do nothing about!

Then there are games as kingdom come deliverance when no matter how peaceful gameplay ypu are trying to have Henry will volunteer himself absolutely unprompted to do whatever bullshit he wants. And it does not matter how normal his dialogue can look he will add there some absolutely unnecessary remark because he loves speaking first and thinking later.

You are *not* the one dragging Henry in situations. Henry is the one dragging *you* in them.

Seeing takes that Rook is “more realistic and relatable”……..I need to hold my tongue because my first thought was way too mean 😅

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)

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*

Can I just say. I have been Obsessed with this scene since I saw it. Just. How is THIS your first reaction.

Rook doesn't even know the guy, and they still scream at that dragon to save his ass. I don't know what the plan was there, and more than that, I suspect there WAS no plan. They saw someone about to die and they Did Something About It. Even if it was so, so stupid to do. And they Know that. And they do it anyway. I don't think I can quite put into words just how much I love this bit of characterization.

Truly the character of all time 🙏

(also, on another note, them going ✋ at their companions while doing it reminded me of that one thing drivers sometimes do when they throw out a hand to keep someone/something from flying off the passenger seat when they brake too hard)

smol thing for a fanart competition, prompt was "Prison" so P5 Velvet Room was kind of an obvious choice :v

Random old photo from my FOURTH play-through of Reload ( As of this post I'm at November) but look at this Minato characterization.

What do you mean the … are in front, something that usually indicates feelings of sadness or contemplation and are very rare. What do you mean that in this bunker that includes references to some sort of war in the past and a letter of a man asking only the best for his wife and child, Minato finds a skeleton hidden away that presumably died alone on a bedframe. What do you mean more then anything he thinks that this decades old bony figure was someone once upon a time.

What do you mean this implies Minato sees death as taking away your identity and the things you've gone through and that makes him feel something, the guy who at this point in the game still bottles up every single one of his feelings on anything.

reddit dudes proudly saying they leave sam bc the silver is more important and they don't care about some dude they just met bc he's not actually henry's brother kind of makes me sad bc my god people really are that stupid and they're not kidding huh

Cornelia, Hero of Kvatch

[perplexingly]

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

[purple-dragon]

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.

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.

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'
