House M.D. but it's when a character says the name of the episode

Could you explain your position on Shallura? Since Allura was established as a teenager when she started dating Lance and Shiro was very clearly an adult. I can understand the bi shiro headcannon but the shallura thing worries me

i am going to remind yall that i have been in this fandom since 2016. and in the early seasons, allura was not established as a teenager. in fact she was coded as older, as closer to shiro's age -- there was a specific divide between her and the younger paladins that she did not have with shiro. they made her younger (both explicitly and in mannerisms) as the show went on. and i do not give a fuck about voltron like...post s4 and i didn't even watch s7-8. so like. especially with older fics, im going to enjoy shallura.

Look, I just think it's VERY funny and on brand that I thought of an entire premise of colorful characters for half the cast and immediately drew the only one void of color.

Jobs I think the seals have based on uniforms cause only I care about this lollll

Bellhops - there's very few but they certainly look the part

Desk staff/management - cause they are pretty much only behind a desk (feat. a bellhop). There is one who works as the bartender.

Obviously a chef lol, probably the head chef in this case.

Servers/Hospitality staff - I think they run things to rooms and serve guests in the restaurant(s) and the bars.

The rest don't wear anything but do any other jobs such as working as the lifeguards, custodians, and driving the ship.

books you want to read in the new year. three categories here

non fiction i an interested in reading & have been for awhile but haven’t gotten around too. p sure there’s been second editions published since i put them on my lists 🤧

stuff i’m reading bc it has to do with my areas of interest re: writing. i’ve been interested in horror & building suspense, who Doesn’t turn to ursula le guin when they’re trying to write fantasy, 2-3 of the main characters are inuit in my own writing so i just read (and watch) random shit so i don’t sound like im talking out of my ass.

stuff i want to read but it’s been hard to find them. i’ve checked every legal channel i know to not have to pay for we shall be no more & it is Nawt available for less than $50. im like 70% sure i’ll be able to get a request filled for the other two but it’s a lil hit or miss sometimes when you’re requesting from a university library.

minor veilguard spoilers for the end lucanis’ quest line in the last two paragraphs

been thinking about this for a bit because i swore i heard him say this on my first playthrough and then got confirmation recently on a new one plus i just watched the princess bride

when asking lucanis/spite to make a path somewhere, one of the voice lines he’ll say is “as you wish” and i’m not saying this intentional, i have no idea, i’m just pointing it out and you can decide wether or not you think there is a connection i do think lucanis would love the princess bride considering he tells harding at one point that he likes romance novels

i mean, what’s not to love? it’s got fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles /ref

i’ve also read a couple fics where when lucanis talks about at what point he fell in love with rook it’s after the ossuary, though i don’t remember exactly when, and some where he says after the ossuary but maybe even during, for me, the first time he said as you wish was in his recruitment quest, the ossuary, so if you’re a ‘lucanis fell in love with rook during the ossuary’ truther, there you go

anyway, my reasoning for why lucanis said as you wish, yes as i said before, it could just be a coincidence, maybe as you wish is just a thing he says, or maybe, when he first says as you wish it could’ve just been a habit, maybe it is just something he says, maybe he says as you wish to caterina or illaro like the grandfather does at the end of the movie, it doesn’t have to be romantic, though it could be that too, he mentions liking another crow/viago, maybe he said it to him or someone else, just his way of saying i love you without actually saying it, maybe when he first meets rook there’s already that attraction there, he might not plan to do anything with it but there’s no denying it exists, so when he says as you wish, regardless of the why, he realizes the hidden meaning there and it just becomes a thing to himself, because he’s not going to tell rook this, the likelihood that they feel the same is very rare, obviously, but even if that is the case it’s not like anything’s going to come out of it, and it’s not like he’s going to tell them he’s been saying i love you this entire time

as time passes as he falls deeper in love with them he’ll continue to say it, the hidden meaning becoming the real meaning the more he says it and now that’s just his way of saying i love you to rook like it is westley’s to buttercup but what if he says it around the crows, surely one of them knows the reason why he says it, i imagine teia and illaro know, though they would probably have different reactions (teia gets all excited and goes to point it out to viago but he’s still oblivious, maybe afterward teia explains and he’s just like “wait, he said that to me once, didn’t he? didn’t he?!” and teia just laughs and shakes her head)

also when watching the movie i thought it was cute imagining rook and lucanis in the scene where buttercup finds westley after the wedding but he’s still recovering from being mostly dead so he tells her to be gentle but of course she does not, with the dynamic between my rook and lucanis either one of them could easily be buttercup or westley, though i don’t know who humperdinck if you continue the scene, i first thought of illaro because of lucanis’ questline but then realized that complicated things, first if rook is buttercup then that means illaro was trying to marry her and i just can’t see that happening, and then if lucanis is buttercup, i don’t feel i need to explain that, though i do like rook/lucanis threatening someone “to the pain” over the other, it’s cute

and again with the movie when inigo is getting his revenge, asks rugen to give him money, power, anything/everything he desires just to say “i want my father back, you son of a bitch” i saw that as lucanis and illaro but of course it’s “i want my brother back” or maybe even “i want my grandmother back” though caterina would have to be dead for that, a more dramatized version of what happens in the game i believe, i spared illaro on my first playthrough and haven’t gotten that far on the others yet though i think illaro just goes to jail, as my boyfriend can tell you though i do like family angst, i have at least two ocs with both parental angst and sibling angst :)

the great thing about reading a mediocre book is that it puts me right to sleep

Speaking of replaying things...got it in my head recently about maybe playing Death Stranding for a second time. Played it through once a few years ago and didn't think I'd want to do it over again.

So last night I thought I'd watch some of a YT playthrough, see how I felt about it. And after about and hour or so, I stg I've oscillated back and forth between...

Oh hell yeah! I can remember there was a lot here I really liked that was enough for me to finish the whole thing the first time; and

Bluhhhhhhhhhhhhh I also remember why I haven't wanted to play it again until apparently now lol

...like 20 times.

i know many people are afraid of being rude and roleplaying as someone besides people pleaser (which is not not-understandable tho. especially for the first time players) but i think bg3 is the game that tries to motivate you not to be agreeable and obedient all the time. usually in rpg games with approval systems there are one or two characters who will approve of you being an asshole mostly for the sake of it but that's it. also actively challenging character's beliefs in most cases will just gain you a whole lot of disapproval and no actual change. meanwhile in bg3 there are many characters who will approve of you losing it in some situations and disapprove if you act too gullible and let everyone use you.

also following someone else's orders and desires every time won't get you far. if you'll blindly support your companions' initial goals (and they're very insistent and defensive about it and questioning their ideas may also naturally result in disapproval) it won't automatically get you their best ending and in the most cases it is literally the opposite. shadowheart wants to become dark justiciar real bad but if you support her on that path she'll be claimed by the evil goddess she unconsciously resisted her whole life. astarion wants to get ascended but helping him do it won't drive away his fears and just will lock him in the same cycle his master was trapped in. lae'zel worships vlaakith and is really hesitant to give up her faith and everything she was taught no matter what she's witnessed and not challenging her beliefs will make her just another sacrifice for a tyrant. if you play durge and decide to accept their father (which is also actively encouraged by durge's sidekick and, well, the other present option is an inevitable death) they'll forever lose their freedom and will become their father's dreadful instrument with no will of its own. if you decide to give gortash the netherstones as a goody two shoes you are when he asks he'll fuck you over on principle. this game lacks a truly unique completely evil run for sure. but it does reward your character for questioning other people and standing up for themself and does punish them for being too lenient when they shouldn't be

i wanna rant about '87 krang so. here we gooooo i guess. i think '87 krang's backstory is actually incredibly interesting like??? how did he lose his previous body? (personally, i like to think that he did something wrong one day and was forcibly turned into the brain creature he is now and banished by his own kind. but hey that's just me) does his miss his old body?? can he devise a way to return to his old body or is it impossible? does his miss home? how complicated are his feelings towards his own species? yeah i know it was an 80s cartoon for kids and they didn't really have time to get into some characters backstories but it's still really interesting!!! YOU COULD DO SOME COOL CHARACTER STUFF WITH THIS!!!!!!! anyway. sorry for going off about krang in your inbox. i'm insane about shredder & krang

Never apology for going off about Krang I LOVE hearing your thoughts

[brutal-out-here]
