When does a man become a monster? And is he a monster, still, if he  feels nothing but regret and guilt?” [x]

I love the sound and feel of my stomach growling

[bugfail]

been having too much fun with bright colors recently whoops

[aldebarangel]

the charm of the first two class of 09 games were the balance of satire and realism (which are enhanced by the voice acting) that redeem the 'anti-visual novel' intention too well. class of 09 was fun because we get moments that feel real. there's nicole's arguements with her mom and the conversations between any of the teenagers are time-period accurate despite the cartoonishness

the comedy works because the dialogue flows well. the dark humor and shock value are carefully executed. the edginess works because of the writing knowing its limits

it knows when to be funny (mr lorre meeting up with nicole) and when to take itself seriously (nicole talking about her experience as a myspace escort)

i really think that nicole being a bad person without bigotry (most of the time) is what makes its comedy work.

flipside fails miserably and feels like a disconnection from the other two games. when jecka suffers it's just for the sake of suffering. it isnt like in the other two games where nicole suffers as consequence. honestly, flipside just looks like what class of 09 would be without the proper care it was given. it focused too much on trying to be edgy and funny that it doesnt execute the realism. nicole's mom was written in a way that feels real. her multiple divorces are comedically cartoonish but when she's on screen and voice acted she actually behaves like a real life mother. jecka's dad has none of that. he just says things and yells when he wants to.

thinking about the undersea again. can't wait for gillion "don't practice what you preach" tidestrider to see the elders again ESPECIALLY after being factory reset in the navy stronghold. can't wait for chip and jay, who KNOW what they did to him to some extent, to bring up everything he's told them (about being good enough for yourself, about standing up to authority figures, about doing what YOU think is right) only for him to keep making excuses for the elders. to keep defending them when they really, truly do not deserve it. can't wait for jay and chip to finally see him acting like the soldier the elders raised in full. to see him stonefaced and rigid, always at attention, hesitant to speak to the elders unless spoken to. to look in his eyes when the elders address him, and seeing only fear. can't wait fo-- *gets shot*

scrimblo love

[reyolfx]

"love can get crazier than that" was a fucking insane line

what's crazier than resurrecting your highschool boyfriend and playing a game of sick 'em boy on every man that approaches you??

oh idk maybe stabbing your man in the heart at first sight and then having him defy heaven for you and then he beats you up and then defies heaven some more and then dies for you and then comes back and then betrays you and breaks your brothers brain but then you forgive him really easily and then you end up in purgatory together and you stay there for a whole year just to find him and then you rewrite your own memories cause it hurt too bad to know he left you and then he comes back and gets lobotomized and beats the shit outta you again only this time it's cause he's brainwashed but then you break the brainwashing by telling him you need him and then he becomes human and you want him to stay with you but the angel possessing your brother says no so you kick him out of your home and he has to find his own way and and then he forms an army but he gives them up just for you and then he tells you he would watch you murder the world and then idk more season 10 and 11 shit and thennnnn he's like possessed by lucifer and then he's not and he offers to come with you to fight the darkness but you hug him goodbye and he thinks you died and he's gutted but you're not dead and he hugs you in front of your mom and you let it happen so softly and then he kills a reaper for you and you give him a mixtape and then he DIES again and you all but cease functioning and you wanna die and you pray to god to bring him back and then he does come back and you're happy again and you put him in a cowboy hat and you keep him and his adorable devil spawn son around and—

Actually I need to talk about this real quick re chatting with Tiny about Vegeta: In the manga he's just generally reserved and observant, and his more Loud Villainous Behavior is an extreme reaction to feeling threatened by something Specific, but Toei writes him like he's threatened by everything.

Like, his behavior in the android saga reflects how he was panicking on Earth when Goku wouldn't just die, which makes sense! Dude was a highly successful imperial lord now getting slow-roasted in peaceful earth customs for a year after being revived by mistake, then he's told he's the first one to die in an attack three years from now, then he's told he's gonna be a father in half that time, and then finds out that future kid is his future kid and he came back in time to make sure Goku didn't die, because that's the life that's going to make a difference!!

kicking biting scratching clawing snapping growling and putting in overtime to make sure everyone, especially himself, understands that he Does Not Care About These People and regain some kind of control over his life/self is pretty normal in abused abducted scared stressed people. Which is exactly what happened when Goku came back in the Buu saga. Vegeta realized he had 24 hours (and one (1) fight) to validate all of the time he's spent working his ass off between that very first retreat and now, and he gets desperate and spirals overthinking about how he's not who he was anymore.

Goku has to tell him to his face that he knows he cares about his family when he's trying to do what he did in the android saga, back when nobody knew him well enough to call him a liar. But that's the great and infuriating thing about Goku in the manga, he lacks all sense of formality and shares Honest Observations with his Whole Chest, so Vegeta knows if Goku points something out, it's the truth (which is also why it was such a big deal that he lied to Krillin in Super but I digress!!), which is what makes him resign to that truth (Which is also visited again in Super, that Vegeta is not who he used to be. The difference is that, by then, he's smiling when he says it).

Anyway this is me once again being old man yell at clouds about how Vegeta is done SO dirty throughout the anime old and new, and it kneecaps so much of his character arc, and why the other characters want him around at all, much less for over a decade (because !! he's NOT a dick all the time, turns out!! He's clever and grounded and highly controlled and extremely competent most of the time!! Even ROSHI points out Vegeta's Majin behavior isn't like him. Which is how he survived the Freeza Force for thirty goddamn years, Toei. I can't beLIEVE you would cut out the casual water cooler banter between Geets and Freeza while Goku's sitting there bleeding out what's wrONG with you that is the funniest part of the movie askldjas)

remember when annie literally talked to annie!abed and came to the definite conclusion that she does not love jeff, never really has, and really only needed the feeling of being loved, creating the seeming end to a three-season arc, then immediately backtracked in the next season about fifteen episodes later by getting giddy like a child when a hotel thought she was jeff's wife.

I Remember.
