Ooh, it's my time to shine!

The first three lines are from Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time

The next couple are from Mario vs Donkey Kong for the GBA

Then there's the door exhaustion that's unused from Super Mario Sunshine.

There are also a few lines from Mario teaches Typing.

I think that last one is in the MvDK set is Mario thanking the artists?

There's probably a few that I missed, but those are the ones I recognized.

Finally, my nerdy knowledge comes in handy!

my favorite and arguably the best of mario's voice lines. he is soooo sweet! :]

One thing I like about DMC is the parallels they sneak in where at first you may not think it is...but the more you think about it...

Like the scene in 3 with Arkham is essentially Vergil's first big footsteps into hunting for his father's power years later after the tragedy he endured. He's looking for a way to grab that power, and here comes Arkham to begin to properly set him on the path that builds up the domino effect that THEN sets up the rest of the suffering he has to endure. From his clash with his twin, to his defeat, then his attempted clash with Mundus that leads into his enslavement and weakening that sets the stage for DMC5 with the birth of V and Urizen.

Then, in Visions of V, the climax has it where V embraces Urizen and encounters essentially the form of his fears and weakness as his younger self. Of course, V is met with immediate act of aggression through instinct of self defense by his younger manifestation but he still is prompted to not show his special book to return to him, but also remind him that 'Power alone is not enough'.

That line alone has me thinking like....wow. A complete opposite to the context of the moment with Arkham, where there's the talk about power and the desire for it. The fact that its basically himself on the other side of his own sword in VoV telling him that is, to me, such an interesting display of character growth. I don't know if that moment in VoV was meant to reference the Arkham convo in 3, but I like to believe it was. Its so alike, that it'd be weird if it wasn't to me.

Here's another cheeky one I like too, by the way.

The very night that Vergil reclaims Yamato and heads home to split himself into V and Urizen has a full moon. JUST like the very night when Vergil first defeated Dante that would eventually lead into the escalation of 3's plot and even having an ironic callback in 5 that would lead into Dante unlocking his Sin Devil Trigger.

One's a moment of victory over his twin brother, asserting his power. The other? A moment of reflection of losses that haunt him to this day, reminding him of the weakness he's desperately trying to chase away. The said desperation that peaks his desire for power and pushes him to believe abandoning his humanity is a benefit.

Of course, these thoughts still haunts him even as V (and especially Urizen, but I've mentioned that before) to the point where he reflects over it a few times. I often talk about these moment in VoV, but its just...man. One of the best things we got for DMC. A good addition for Vergil's character and essentially the icing ontop of the cake for 5 alongside the Before the Nightmare novel. There's several things it calls back to for Vergil's journey subtle or not. I hope we get more content like it in the future (maybe even have VoV localized officially), alongside games of course.

Forgot I planned to post about this! Bleach painted Elric shit on this sweatshirt in April.

I still love the opening to Black Widow so much. It's so powerful and it does such a good job of conveying the trauma Natasha endured while she was exploited into being a child soldier. It's heartbreaking, and the use of the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" cover was a fucking brilliant commentary on the MCU fandom at large and of modern day parenting--

There are worse things than your kids seeing a sex scene or a man in a dress or seeing fake bloodshed in a superhero movie. That is what it is saying. It's hauntingly beautiful and brutally honest, and that's why I just laugh whenever some movie snob says Marvel movies have no point.

Because Marvel movies do have a point -- you're just too busy being pretentious to pick up on it.

Zach would definitely be very annoyed by this (and to some extent he would be glad when Chris is saved and he finally shuts up)

In the header it said somthing like "icarus and his father was trapped on king minos' land" or smthn, and i kid you not the moment i read "king minos" i fuckin yelled "JUDGEMENT" out loud (i had headphones in so i didnt realise i said it outloud), holy shit they all know im a nerd now, pLEASE HELP

I was never fond of the idea of Vilgaxia so I like to imagine this is the dynamic between Vilgax and his homeworld

he’s increasingly forbidden from coming back home since every horrible thing he does makes them look bad and he’s like “what makes you think I want to come back”

Every time I remember that one video, I can't help but imagine theater student Steve explaining to Robin his idea for a new show.

Steve: It's called Barrel Aged Cock. It's a story about my dick as told by my dick.

Robin: What the hell Steve?!

Billy: No. I think he's on to something. Respect the process.

kills me inside every time people accuse tubbo of being a tory despite the fact he never was

he has had shitty opinions but he wanst a tory

a tory is someone who supports the conservative party in the UK. Some people who don't know what it means decide to use it as just a bigot. Tories are bigots but not all bigots are tories

IN GENERAL a political party will have ideas regarding social stuff, economic stuff, foreign policy and more. You cant just randomly give someone a label based on their social opinions isnce htere are countless political movements with overlapping ideals

like if people want to (justifyingly) criticize some shit hes said in the past at least use correct terms and quote it properly

IM A NERD AND IM PROUD

[random-dragon-exe]

I may come off as a nerd for saying this but screw it, I don't care.

I find it entertaining that localization has screwed over King Boo not once but two times.

In Super Mario Sunshine, there's a localization error in the U.S. His name in Japanese is really "Boss Boo".

Then in Super Mario 64 DS, he mistakenly calls himself "Big Boo" instead of King Boo.

Idk I just find it funny. All this to say that localization hates King Boo and it's caused some confusion amongst players.

Sharing headcanons on the internet is horrifying

In her pursuit of deeper human-cat communications, the librarian's assistant turned to the collection of forbidden magic for help.

Happy Halloween! Groovy Gal herself is more of a summer gal, but her friend the Goth Nerd loves the fall and Halloween in particular!

I know this is random but have any women actually found that it seems athletic men are less likely to be sexist than men who think of themselves as “nerdy” or not athletic? Because that has been my observation so far but I want to hear other women’s experiences. I know this is kind of reductive and based on stereotypes but I was just thinking about it.

Just thinking about that one maternity ward scene in AVP2

I don't know how exactly this was brought up, but damn did I love that disturbing moment so much
