#so take em with a handful of salt pls because i also like to think about and respect others' universes and ideas

[d8tl55c]

im having trouble assigning one metric like age, weight, vitals, emotional state, etc. to memory usage because it's such a computer-y concept- maybe a combination of several of those things?

when you're talking about memory... uh... it's not really...

it's weird- UM- heRE's HOw RAM WORKS:

.

in general* there's two ways to handle data:

slow to access, but i can store a lot of data basically forever, or super fast, but i can only store a little, temporarily.

RAM (Random Access Memory) is the second option. it's a physically different chip from the long-term-big-storage one, and it is designed to multitask many, many file accesses/calculations/other processes at once. video games, modeling/editing/animation software, and web browsers commonly eat up a lot of RAM (a LOT: check out Flash up there at the top easily munching 300 thousand K* for the simplest possible animation) *we are going to pretend it's that simple because trying to research this further made the later sections of RUSH-E start blasting in my head :) (further reading that looks correct probably about things that are and aren't the "active private working set" (column displayed by default in Task Manager -> Details and the animation))

(here's 3 windows of 18 tabs of OperaGX as an example)

so it's not really the runtime of the program ("im not sure if their memory usage is reliant on how long they've been existing..."), but what its function is, that foreshadows its required RAM.

"...or how. complex they were drawn." <- this one should work. since they're all separate programs, they each have to handle their own graphics, and would use a type of RAM to keep up their silky smooth framerates and procedural animations.

and there's the. THOUGHTS. SENTIENCE. that they all have, of course. i can only assume they use computer working memory (a bit more RAM) like humans use our working memory, and permanent save files stored elsewhere for long-term stuff, because there is no other reference for how a functioning person-program works.

that doesn't explain why orange's number is so different from RYGB... and even when a program doesn't display anything or have feelings the RAM usage shown in Task Manager changes a lot... but in IV it stays exactly the same throughout for every single program..... (i was about to be excited if trying to end TheSecondComing.exe spiked his metrics or something but nothing happens *sad nerd face*) .....so im pretty sure not much was intended on Alan's part by assigning any of these RAM usage values, except for cinematic reasons: giving TheSecondComing.exe much less than the StickFigure[Color].exes forces c!Alan to search for it, realize it has a weird name, and zoom in all dramatic on it for the Description reveal, all because it's further down the list. :P

.

but if i were forced to speculate anyway-

id guess that the StickFigure[Color].exes use more RAM because they come from a game. maybe they're carrying around the game scripts that are responsible for waiting for user inputs. TheSecondComing.exe was never designed to be controlled, so would lack user input listeners by default. why does RYGB have different individual RAM usages? heck if i know- the discrepancies are small enough i think it's just. normal fluctuations. since they're doing different stuff and are variations on the same program, they'd likely stay near each other in RAM requirements, but trade places with who's using the most constantly.

is that all? uhhhh well all i know about getting user input is it can get complicated. suppose it might be 13,516 K complicated.

the only other thing i thought of is TSC.exe could hide suspiciously high RAM usage by stealing from Flash's allocated space. but i dont know if that's a real thing, even for worms. -> if it is, the story goes that, like Minecraft performance can increase by allocating more RAM for it, Flash probably has a big chunk set aside for processing animation-related stuff. TSC.exe, related/attached to Flash, may have access to this chunk, using some of Flash's resources instead of clocking more usage for itself on the Task Manager. the remaining 3,012 K may therefore be impossible to hide or outsource, and would account for... idk, the minimum RAM required to maintain a sapient stick figure? <- again, fully riffing and playing pretend with my touys there though. NOT sure if any of that section is anything. but it would be neat \o/

.

(side note: i tried to look back and see if avast! describes TCO's memory usage, but that metric doesn't show up :T and i dont think there was time to check TDL's or anyone else's in III or V)

.

SO WHAT IS IT HUH?

aaaaaaaaauuuu

it's not clear what the differences mean. it likely does not mean anything at all canonically (cinematic reasons). but i can confidently say that the Memory value probably corresponds to an individual stick figure's current: physical state (stored position, limb arrangements, collisions), display data (color, frame generation, frame display), emotional state (neutral vs intense), mental state (how hard they are thinking), extra features (game data, other attachments to parent programs), independence (is or isn't using memory through another program), and probably other things simultaneously.

i went and collected those numbers

however... it seems this metric we were discussing wasn't related to file size after all, it was memory usage.

i do not know enough about memory to immediately recognize the implications of this information but still cool to know and weird and interesting that they're so different 👉👉 handing to you for safekeeping

OHHHHHHHH !!!!!! i didnt even see the memory tab i really thought it was their file weight lol. man i really wonder what i can do with it. seems like red is consuming too much memory LOL

im not sure if their memory usage is reliant on how long they've been existing or how. complex they were drawn. its interesting to think about. we keeping it fr

hii !! feel free not to answer if this is too personal, but i saw the poll you rbed abt aphantasia and i'm currently working through the process of thinking i might be plural and many resources talk abt "visualizing an inner world" and stuff and as someone with aphantasia that's just. not something i can do? and i was wondering if, as someone who is also plural with a bit of aphantasia you had any advice on what that means for you exactly? again pls feel free to ignore but thanks for your time anyway <33

oh hey, i don’t mind answering this at all!! for us, we don’t have much of a headspace because we just can’t see it but it’s. kind of there in some form…? i mean sysmates that aren’t in front end up going somewhere! it doesn’t look like anything, closest i can describe it as is it’s the same black as when you shut your eyes. i think some plurals have fronting rooms with visual appearances, but we also don’t have that either. (relevant note: i did look around and apparently there’s exercises that help build some level of visualization but we only just learned about that now so we have zero experience and cannot reliably tell you if those would work or not. [i’d imagine it’d be individual case-by-case on if it helps, but i don’t have anything to back this up with so take what i say with many grains of salt. at least two handfuls.] so yeah.)

tacking on a ramble on how we see (not really) sysmates because it might be useful, we moreso Know what a sysmate’s appearance is compared to. seeing an apple. no apples here bud. picrews and related resources can help you Know what a headmate would look like since it’s an actual tangible reference you can see. (side-tacking on as i’m unsure if this is wanted information: we can tell who’s in front since majority of the time they will just state who they are, or their personality/roles/General Vibe is a dead giveaway for who it is. lord almighty mood boosters. love ‘em of course but sure damn well as hell know when they’re in front.)

oh and this isn’t to say that our notable absence of a headspace means we don’t have any in-sys interactions, it simply means it takes on a more… written actor’s script or 17776 chatlog-likeish form. or once again we just Know that the interaction happens even if we don’t see it. pretty confusing but that’s all i can say for it

by the way, aphantien is a label for this. if you want it i’m not forcing it on you. (morshu voice) you want it, it’s yours my friend

waves hands and arms. other plurals who have aphantasia please feel free to add on and share your experiences

decided to hop on the train and ask you some questions 💗

1. where did you get your zorki from because i need a good quality kinda vintage camera after the kid i babysat broke mine.

2. which work (could be of any genre or related to any topic) shaped you into the person you are today the most?

3. any tips on getting through uni without burning out or feeling lonely and isolated?

thank you for answering, i love this page and the pictures you take!!! 💕

ahh hello!! thank u so much for the questions and i’m really glad you like my blog, that’s so so sweet <3

omg noo that is Tragic, rip to ur camera :-(( i got my zorki from this slovenian second-hand site called bolha but i strongly recommend you check out some flea markets and charity shops! cuz not only can u actually look at the camera irl, the sellers are also usually the most pleasantly eccentric old people and it’s just An Experience :”).

uhhh ok the first would deffo be srečko kosovel’s poem rdeča raketa (a red rocket), the second car seat headrest’s album twin fantasy. they’re both kinda milestone-like works in my life and i’ll spare you the sappy details as to why i think so but. i still love both of em dearly.

pls take my advice with a grain (or more like a handful) of a salt cause 1) i’m only halfway through uni and 2) i’m just not a very future oriented person. that being said tho - and this is gonna sound corny af - the best burn-out/general feeling of dreadful alienation (when it comes to studying) prevention is just the right mindset. u gotta forget everything they’ve taught u about “work discipline” and “time management” and “sticking to ur routine” and just. let urself fall in love and become completely obsessed with the concept of gaining knowledge. be it from reading dull academic texts by dead french people or that guilty pleasure novel u have liked since you were seventeen. cause if you’re studying just for the sake of studying itself you WILL feel less pressure and stress to idk get good grades or whatever. the ironic (for lack of a better word) part is that you genuinely also will do better academically if you skip a few classes here and there to just sit in an overpriced cafe and have the most pretentious conversations known to man or go for a walk or literally just do nothing and stare out of the window (very important btw) instead of being hyperfocused on using every single moment in a “conventionally productive” way. 

im SO sorry this is so long and i hope it doesnt read as the ramblings of some privileged middle class kid and i also hope it’s at least semi-coherent/helpful :,). you will do great out there anon!! i love u.

[gir-posting]

*paparazzi surrounds you*

George! George! Give us the the ranking on all sims games! Or explain what makes the sims 2 so fuckin great

okay so i’m putting this under a cut so that my followers/long suffering mutuals that have no interest in the sims dont have to scroll past this lmAO

SO

this take is probably less controversial than it feels like but. COMPARATively........ the sims 1 is definitely the worst sims game out of all of em. NOW NOW NOW that is not to say that it i think it’s a bad game! but when you pit it against the rest of the games it doesn’t stand a chance

i can see the appeal though! the nostalgia is there and the gameplay can be very silly sometimes, like the prank calls for one thing

and then there’s the super adult humor that not many sims games have even begun to match since

AND THEN THERE’S THE MUSIC *chef’s kiss*

BUT unfortunately in the end the gameplay falls super behind for me because it’s like. incredibly clear that the sims 1′s sims and all the social interactions that come with them were created as an afterthought since the sims 1 was initially designed as a house building simulator. and since i’m in it for the sims, it just gets very boring to me very quickly. and then i kind of take issue with how they integrated the expansion packs, which i don’t actually blame them for since they were still trying to figure everything out. but adding an entire extension to every single one of the towns just. it just. :(

when every single neighborhood has the expanded old town it just really takes any individuality out of the neighborhoods that they had in the first place :( so unfortunately i do think the sims 1 takes last place

in third place (a MUCH more controversial take i think) we have the sims 3.

AGAIN. NOT HATING ON YOU IF YOU LIKE IT! i think it has a lot going for it!

LIKE. OPEN WORLD SIMS? OPEN WORLD???? NO LOADING SCREENS? YOU DON’T HAVE TO LOAD IN A SEPARATE LOT? THE ENTIRE WORLD IS JUST RIGHT THERE??? KILLER! ABSOLUTELY SICK! I’M IN LOVE!

and the ability to completely customize EVERYTHING with a color wheel and patterns? THAT’S ABSOLUTELY AHEAD OF ITS TIME AND IT NEEDS TO COME BACK. *points a gun at the sims 4 team*

but i just. i physically can’t put it any higher i can’t. not even above the sims 4.

because it is the ugliest fucking game i have ever seen in my god damn life

WHY DO YOU ALL LOOK LIKE THAT. I PHYSICALLY CAN’T STAND TO PLAY THIS GAME BECAUSE ALL OF THE SIMS ARE SO RIDICULOUSLY UGLY

LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO THE POOR PLANT SIMS. THIS IS A HATE CRIME

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THE BABIES

and then there’s the issue that a lot of it just doesn’t run the way i want it to and it makes me super pissed? like i have a super good gaming pc but on startup it refused to actually render the sims with any decent clarity. and speaking of the world that comes with the pack “island paradise” refuses to run on anything besides super good gaming pcs and that’s just INFURIATING. imagine being a little kid in like 2009 and wanting to play with the mermaids so bad but their parents’ regular pc overheats and dies trying to render isla paradiso. that just pisses me off so much

the music is also super fucking bad i can’t stand it

idk i just. if it weren’t for those glaring issues i would probably love the sims 3!!!! the gameplay looks like a lot of fun and there’s probably a lot of potential with it that i just refuse to see through because i hate the graphics so much.

in second place, which is a fucking SHOCKER if you’ve spoken to me for five minutes, we have the sims 4.

now. let’s start out by saying that most of the anger i have towards the sims 4 is lingering salt from the launch. because oh good god the launch. the launch for this game was horrendous and i don’t even want to talk about it.

but!!! in kind of a stockholm-y way (for lack of a better term) i think they really have improved on the gameplay? they really have taken the time and effort to make the game seem more fleshed out and fun in its own special way! granted you do have to get a lot of the dlc and it took them just around seven years for them to get to the point where it’s not just entirely mind-numbing but. but! there’s not much you can expect when *rambles about capitalism destroying art until i’m foaming at the mouth*

ANYWAY. some of the main sells of the game still genuinely impress me? like create a sim???? that shit’s genius! the click and drag mechanics offer some really good customization that can create some really good likenesses if you know what you’re doing. also being allowed to make transgender sims............ :cry_pepe: (i still think it’s stupidly limited by the [STILL] limited skin and hair colors but. can’t have everything these days i suppose) and the building????? holy shit!!!!!!!!! this game has the best building mechanics out of any sims game so far! talking from personal experience you can just take a building blueprint and bang it out and you have an exact recreation! and by far the best part is that you can MULTITASK NOW. THAT’S SICK

BUT....... i still do have a fair amount of issues with just. how the game feels. absolutely nothing feels natural in this game which is really hard to explain unless you’ve played it. i think the only way i can summarize it is this image

(op)

none of the interactions flow well anymore and i still really hate how every. single. building. requires a loading screen to go to. just atrocious! and even though i’m not much of a stickler for the sims lore (just never got into it) it’s still incredibly insulting that they twisted the familiar characters like that so hard JUST LEAVE EM OUT IF YOU DON’T FEEL LIKE WRITING FFS.

the music is at least better than the sims 3 but. not by much. it’s not an accomplishment

ANYWAY i have a lot of mixed feelings about the sims 4 but i will never refer to it as a good sims game when we have the sims 2

HERE IT IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SIMS GAME OF THEM ALL

i’m not even gonna continue until i show off the soundtrack because it is my absolute favorite out of all of them pls enjoy this with me

god. where do i even begin

the utter detail and care that went into making the sims 2 feel special just surprises me every time i play it because there’s so many little details you really don’t notice unless you’re looking for them like. married sims cuddling in bed when one of them has to wake up before the other........... kids running to the door when their parent gets home from work............. the sims having unique animations that relate to the topic they’re talking about........ sims from the neighborhood around you having unique relationships to each other which make them react to each other accordingly in public.................. HAIR PHYSICS........ it’s just. ugh there’s SO MUCH DETAIL where they didn’t have to put it and they have NEVER matched it since :cry_pepe:

i also really think that the art style just looks the best out of all of the games? it’s super blocky looking and obvs kind of outdated but this just slaps to me

GOD AND SPEAKING OF I ALSO REALLY LIKE THE UI???? IT HAS THAT OLD INTERNET LOOKING GRADIENT and i keep seeing people on modthesims that have switched it out with a more minimalistic modern ui and i just wanna cry what was wrong with this!!! why do you hate fun

AND AND AND the fact that you can just up and make your own neighborhood and ignore the premade ones that came with the game is SO UNIQUE like don’t care abt the maxis sims at all?? that’s okay just start from scratch!!

that being said there are some. issues with it that i do feel like i have to address, like the uhhhhhh. the racism

yeah this is gross here’s a replacement mod. the entirety of how the vacation pack portrays different cultures really tears at me too but i have no idea how you would even begin to be able to fix that

and the fact that the only body types are A Little Worryingly Skinny and Realistic Looking Person, i can count the number of black hairstyles on one hand (most of them look real subpar too,) and a lot of the game is just plain broken???? i have so many fixes modded into my game that frankly it’s just embarrassing. modthesims is your friend

that being said i grew up on this game and i think if you have the resources and time i really think you should give it a play!!

tldr; the sims 1 is last place by default because it’s very basic but i still have respect for it, the sims 3 is in third place because the graphics are eyebleedingly bad despite the gameplay, the sims 4 is in second because the building and CAS make up for the subpar gameplay and shitty development, and the sims 2 wins out because *blows farting noises into my hands*

[hoe-imaginess]

replies!

tried to put older ones at the top. 

ALSO: I got a lot of requests in the last few weeks and just wanted to post a general reply in reminder that my ASK BOX IS CLOSED! Not accepting any requests right now, sorry! I delete any that come in

i BEEN A YEEHAW BINCH SINCE DAY ONE GORLLL. we stan 4am whataburger in this house 

I do!! I used to have gold but it got kinda expensive in comparison to what I was charging for ko-fi’s. If you don’t have that extra $6 a month it’s not worth it boo ):

Ahhh congrats! Sorry I’m so late!! I think it’s always worth it to stick with the original blog since you’ve accumulated followers there, and you never know if they’re going to miss out on the transition to your new one. It takes some time to restructure a blog but it’s definitely worth it to keep the original

the amount of HIM’s in One Piece is unbelievable I whore for everyone

I’m doing ok!!!! I go a little crazy indoors but I’m keeping myself busy <3 my immune system is shit so I’m on utter lock down, but better safe than sorry

@thychi​ 

I keep up sporadically with the manga!! I stopped watching it when I caught up a few months ago, think I ended on Whole Cake? I know what’s happening currently but I haven’t read too into depth in the Wano arc. I usually just... pop into the spoilers tags... to see Law... bc I love him... 

@ithecrystaldragonheart​

Mito and Hashi are a powerful duo. Mito has a lot of brains cells she has to share with Hashi but that’s ok!!!! I do think Tobirama and Mito would get along too!

Basically tbh he sees one thing out of place and he must destroy

i’D HEARD IT WAS A REALLY BAD CHAPTER. this is a late response but MANGA READERS THAT ONE WEEK... we were all a mess (and no I haven’t watched but I’ve been recommended to do so quite a lot so I’ll hop on it soon!) 

Hmm!!!! I actually find a *shorter* first chapter is a good way to hook the reader without making them claw through too much writing to get a sense of what’s going on. Like, if I see a first chapter is reallllly long I sometimes have to do it to em, and scroll a bit to the middle to see what’s going on, and to double check that it’s a fic I want to take the time to read

1300 words isn’t too much though!!! Omg I’ve written much longer first chapters lmao. If you feel weird about it you can maybe find a good place to split that 1300 into two chapters?? But definitely make sure it’s split in a good place. It’s always good to leave the reader wanting more. If you can end on a short cliff hanger or a tense moment, that’s 10/10

That being said it would probably be wise to make the rest of the chapters of a similair average length. I’ve read fics that have shorter or longer chapters and it’s not bad (unless I’m grieving because it’s too short AND I REQUIRE MOREEE) but it might help you with actually planning your plot

I DON’T!!! But I want his ninja dick so bad. Maybe i’ll whip something up for him soon. For the culture 

When you sent this a while ago it actually inspired me to pick it up again!! I’m fixing it so it comes up with more accurate (?) results since I think the first one was so messed up. Everyone kept getting Madara sksksks. It’s still in the works but I wanna post it again! They’re super fun to make

AHHHH THANKSSSSS!!!

It’s so hard trying to keep a character that you love IC because... i want him to not be as much of an asshole as he is in canon... so unfortunately I gotta let him be an asshole sometimes. On the other hand, fortunately he’s such a minor guy I get some room to explore w him and I really hope it pays off, so thank you!!!

Girl, eye—someties

did Itachi Uchiha send me this

(i love u too)

RIGHT!!! i would have never guessed. Like, if Kishi could see us... he’d be fucking floored....

Ahhhh!!! thank you!!! It was my biggest project to date <3 

(HxH spoilers below vvvvv)

I don’t really think Feitan is... so far removed from his emotions (Like Meruem) that he would really need to change that drastically for someone if he really liked them—that being said, he’s not going to change, either. If by change we mean he’s suddenly as enamored and endearing with them as Meruem is with Komugi... then I don’t think that’s going to happen regardless. We kinda see Feitan being a good and decently considerate comrade to the Troupe, so that would obviously extend to this girl/boy, maybe with a sliver of extra fondness if we’re talking romantically. But otherwise, Feitan seems like a “you get what you get” type of guy, that would inherently be *tender* with someone he liked, but not so tender that he’d have to have a whole philosophical/personality change

Ok now I’m confusing myself aksjdhfkjs. Basically:

Meruem had to like, undergo some existential shit to get where he was Komugi. I think Feitan already has the capacity to care for someone, even if his way of caring isn’t exactly rainbows and butterflies. So it’s not like he has to change. He just has to find the right person that doesn’t 1) get on his nerves and 2) get on his nerves enough that he’s gonna kill them

Feitan is a simple man. You piss him off. You die. You don’t? Ok. He’ll be nice

I did!!!

Thank you for accepting me I’m glad to be here

akjdhfakjshfsj i know this was a serious comment but when i first read it I wanted to laugh asdhfkasjhf the “ap lit” inclusion sent me. What was so horrible about ap lit that this girl thought she was dying? Ap lit will really get you

(But I know!! I’d forgotten I’d taken it that morning! I have one of those cute pill organizers and I thought I’d taken it out but did not...)

Forgive me!!! I felt dumba fterwards hence why I deleted the post. Do not worry! This is the dose I was prescribed. I figured I would get some really manic reactions when trying a new dosage so now I know that’s not gonna work lol

@blackstrawberrynightmare​

It’s been so long since I watched Psycho Pass or even looked into anything about it so pls take my thoughts with a grain of salt but:

I’m gonna say probably not? He’s one of those typical antags that have such strong ideals that... I don’t think even if the corrupt system was taken down he’d be entirely absolved of his ideals, or at the least, of the journey he’s taken in pursuit of those ideals. I don’t think a guy like him could ultimately settle down once the dust clears, and especially not with a lover or a family or anything like that. If he did want to lead a normal life it would probably be in seclusion

Thank you!!!!!!

skjhasjkdfhajkhsd they would never. Only room for one tongue on that body and they’ll fight for their tongue rights

Ahhh yeah my master post is so bad I swear I’m gonna fix it one day—I don’t think I have one of Madara!

I do not ):

@cacauatecacauate​ thanks for the kind words!! I’m not accepting requests right now though! I am planning on posting more to that story though, just not right now!

(I think this was in response to when I missed your ko-fi about the bakers) thank you! and thanks for supporting!

i got around to watching the latest TMNT episode, and it turned into 44 minutes of pure salt with my friend @lulusoblue. 

read below the saltmagedon.

onthespectrumwriting:

i'm finally watching the new ep and i'm five minutes in.

i honestly hate how much romance there is in this. :///

eeeerrrrRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAUGH

jfc

i hate all of this

 lulusoblue:

same

 onthespectrumwriting:

no shipping allowed okay

 lulusoblue:

and i haven't even watched the fuckin ep

otherwise: eh

oh there's also good mikey and leatherhead stuff

FOR FUCK'S SAKE STOP IT WITH THE LEORAI FLIRTING

GOD

 lulusoblue:

why did you make me read that with my own two eyes

 onthespectrumwriting:

bc you have to suffer with me

also leo and g'throkka are uselessly captured

hahahaha

damseled in distress

raph's plan is to strap as many missiles to a barge boat as physically possible and then throw it at the ship

raph, honey, that's not how physics work

"i like it, but it feels... a little too much" y'gythgba just say it. its a shitty, shitty plan

don't spare this child's feelings

he needs to be knocked down like ten pegs anyways, the angst muffin he is

"you think? that's a mikey level bad idea" april calling things as they are

 onthespectrumwriting:

haha oh my god

 onthespectrumwriting:

they're stealing this right out of my fanfic at this point

mikey brought himself back from the dead

by pulling his molecules back together

this is exactly like my fanfic what the hell

electricity powers, existence despite apparently being dead, etc

also: wow what a lack of happiness that he's not dead

i'd like to call plagiarism.

 lulusoblue:

a ground assault won't do shit

oh no

its the turtle mech

....

i feel nothing, i never liked it

its so vulnerably designed??

like the cockpits are right in the front, completely undefended

nice raph's bug phobia is probably having a hay day in his head rn

parasite leeches are always great to deal with

eyyyy mike gets to do shit for once

he beat the last big bad, and now he's going to beat this one

how much do you bet they won't thank him this time either

my murderous daughter strikes again

mr. brightside

mikey is fucking shit up and i'm still proud of him

he died and literally brought himself back all on his own

this kid has so much to him

why does his family/the fandom/the show not get this

well he didn't beat the big bad on his own, but he did 99% of the work

MY SON IS SACRIFICING HIMSELF NO

mikey nooooooo

THEY JUST LEAVE HIM????

APRIL IS LITERALLY THE ONLY ONE CONCERNED THAT THIS KID SACRIFICED HIMSELF

wow he died for you assholes and all he gets is a highfive

and then they take his powers

Y'GYTHGBA HONEY DON'T DO THIS

NONONONONONONONONO

this is violating intergalactic laws

like ten of them at least

for another

y'gythgba don't do this

don't give up a very successful military career for a shitty teenage boy

he's not even twenty yet and he lives in the sewers angsting all day

you could do //so much better//

god no

he's not even letting her crash at his place

he's sending her to live with the mutanimals

"hey you gave up your entire life to be with me, how's crashing at my weird cousins' place sound? they're also fugitives and inhuman, you'll fit right in"

i'm going to go find something sweet to eat and then try to find purpose in life

[robotslenderman]

9, 14, & 17! Salt me!

*Dumps the salt on you* SAAAAAAAAAALT

9. Most disliked character(s)? Why?

… My most disliked characters are also my favourites. Prowl and Solas are total fucking assholes who I long to go up to and go WHAP! with a rolled up newspaper, but I also adore them in my own twisted way, oops.

Hmm, maybe… Triss Merigold from the Witcher. There’s something about her that just grates; part of it is her taking advantage of Geralt’s amnesia to sleep with him when she knew he loved someone else, but given how shitty my faves are I can’t exactly claim moral highground here. I also hated her puppy-eyed “poor me love me love me pls pity me” guilt-tripping bullshit when like I said, she was in the wrong, sadlfkjalsdjfdsf.

I also came to really dislike Shani in the Hearts of Stone DLC. She was really, adorably sweet, but 1) part of this is CDPR’s fault because no matter how hard you try you cannot get out of romancing her and this pissed me the hell off, and 2) again with the guilt trips for not romancing her, omg. Shani acts personally offended and entitled if you try (keyword being “try”) to weasel out of a romance with her, and it creeps me the hell out, and she actively sulks whenever you take a platonic choice instead of a romantic one.

If it weren’t for this she’d be an adorable armful of puppies but it was incredibly creepy and if it were a dude doing it, the fandom would lose its shit.

14. Unpopular opinion about your fandom?

The Solavellan fandom is the grossest fandom I’ve ever been in. It is so Edward/Bella-y it makes me sick. I am so sick and tired of all the Lavellans who are super ass kicking women who then immediately lie down in fanfic so Solas can walk all over them. Plus, while Solas has his flaws (understatement of the century, I know) his reluctance to enter into a relationship is canonically well-written but in fanfic is almost always written in a way that’s very, VERY toxic. In other words, it’s very Edwardy. Again. Ew. Ewwwwww.

17. Instead of XYZ happening, I would have made ABC happen…

OK so my headcanon DA:I timeline, Trespasser never happens because in my headcanon DA:I, Sable Trevelyan is Inquisitor and @orodrethsgeek‘ and my OCs (Mahanon, Lahariel and Liriel) were companions who had their own party with Solas. Because Solas was inundated with so many Lavellans, he ended up never leaving because he’d become part of the group enough he couldn’t quite bring himself to.

But that’s not really answering the question, oops.

How about – Mass Effect 3 ending. Love interest/companion never got evacuated (WTF, Harby is right there); Starbrat was a near-death hallucination; Normandy never bailed. The pause after the console is activated is because the Crucible is charging up with power from the Citadel, but Admiral Hackett didn’t know it.

I’m going with the Indoctrination theory.

If you choose control/synthesis – Shepard falls for indoctrination, claws her way to the console, aborts the Crucible’s charging.

If you choose destroy – Shepard maintains control long enough that the console’s self destruct mechanism (developed especially to prevent this happening) is able to kick in and the Crucible is able to finish charging.

The last thing you see is the squadmates who disappeared after Shepard was injured limping through the rubble, as we see Shepard lying in the foreground. Low EMS – they die before they can reach her. Medium EMS – they reach her, they’re horrifically injured, but Shepard is dead. High EMS – they’re injured, but not as badly, and they find Shepard, panic a bit – but then realise that she’s alive.

Also in the slideshow after the end, we can see either Shepard’s funeral (she is given a space burial; pointed at darkspace so her corpse can beat up Reapers even in the afterlife), or see her lying weak in her hospital bed with her LI or Liara holding her hand.

If you choose control/synthesis – we see a slideshow about the failure of the Crucible, but if you have a high enough EMS then the slideshow is about how despite the massive setback and failure that it was, humanity and all sentient life endures. Eventually there’s a shot of the Reaper fleet departing, thinking their duty is done – only we see, in the foreground, a cluster of aliens and humans hiding, grinning in victory. An old Liara is among them.

You can’t defeat the Reapers conventionally. You can’t win conventionally.

But you’ll hear Hackett’s voice tell you that sometimes, survival itself is a big enough victory to be worth celebrating for generations to come, and that without Shepard’s hard work, they never would have been able to outlast or hide from the Reapers long enough to see them leave.

And next time, when the Reapers come again – this time, they’ll be ready, and this time, they will defeat them.
