etho, season 10 episode 10

[ID: a minecraft screenshot from hermitcraft 10, taken in etho’s froglight shop/frogger game. the viewer, etho, is sitting on their chair in the ‘office’ while tango is perched on one of the opposite chairs. he’s in full diamond except his elytra, and holding a slime ball. he’s looking at etho but turned to the right slightly. etho’s hotbar is visible at the bottom of the image. end id]

Pray for the welfare of the world - both material and spiritual - and then live as if the answer to your prayer is you.

do we get a goodbye kiss when the guys and Omega inevitably ride off to rescue Crosshair? Do we? DO WE?

I am being very normal about this ship

That theory has two very respectful alternatives crocodad and dadodile, at this point no one has any reason to be calling the theory ‘crocomom’

The TikTok side of the one piece fandom is so ass because there will be MULTIPLE trans masc characters who identify as men straight up and these guys will still call them women

alright, here is one of my big specific criticisms for the show: i, in theory, don't mind the ncr being destroyed. we can all agree that it was heading in a bad direction! their attempt at recreating pre-war america was also recreating all of pre-war america's issues. remaking capitalism, bigotry, imperialism, exploitation, environmental destruction, etc etc etc. you can definitely set up a story where these myriad issues lead to the collapse of the ncr. maybe there's a coup, or a revolution, or a war a la the conflict with the legion, or a breakdown in logistics - any of these could lead to the ncr falling.

exactly none of those issues actually destroy the ncr.

instead, we have a random guy nuke the capital of the ncr. this guy has no direct conflict with the ncr; he wasn't really directly hurt by them, he doesn't really idealistically disagree with them. this man is no ulysses. he nukes the ncr to get back at his wife after their divorce, and because of his pre-war entitlement making him think only vault-tek deserves to colonize the surface. the show is not making a coherent critique of the ncr itself. this goes hand in hand with how they barely show the ills of the pre-war world - cooper is our only connection, and he's a rich actor; his viewpoint isn't showing us the food riots or the execution of civilians. his flashbacks are pretty much entirely concerned with the conspiracy of vault-tek which, again, removes america from the equation of its own destruction. america didn't fall because it was eating itself and the rest of the world alive in its drive for constant growth, it fell because...some random secret shadowy group decided blowing up the world was more profitable. that's not even a critique of capitalism, not really.

the ncr didn't fall because of its own issues. it didn't fall in order to make any kind of statement about the nature of imperialism or capitalism - the critique of which is one of fallout's foundational components. as is, the only statements the show seems to be making are: trying to rebuild is hopeless, mankind is cruel and destructive and incapable of change, and neither pre-war america nor the ncr actually did anything to cause their destruction; it was just conspiratorial bad actors who fucked it up for everyone.

and that's just not something i'm interested in.

Tekken rp seems to be more popular on Twitter tbh

I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Twitter rp.

hi i'm catching up on TEK again and i am Losing It at luzian <3

When Nagyunn mentions revenge. She looks. Confused. god. head in hands.

Because like, Tyr and Lauzun look serious, right? They know who "Najin" could be taking revenge for. For his brother, obviously.

But Luzian just. Hated Nagyunn so so so much that she doesn't get the implication. That it simply doesn't click that "Nagyunn" is someone worth getting revenge for.

MANNN AND LIKE. TYR'S DEVELOPMENT HERE IS SO INTERESTING AS WELL.... because we know that Back Then he saw bullying Nagyunn as the Right thing to do for "his" crimes. And Tyr is both suuuper ideological with his justice but deeply pragmatic in pursuit of it. So much so that he stops Nagyunn from doing the "right" thing (unveiling his identity) because it would shatter Luzian. She'd probably be disgusted with herself for like. Trusting and admiring who she then knows to be Nagyunn.

And they can't fuckin have that right now. Nooo time for personal drama we got a war to stop fellas.

But also just. Man. the subtle reminder that nobody gives a shit about Nagyunn. Ever. About him as a person? Nope. No one! Depressing.

(Myusa is just focused on the goal cuz he wasn't there and doesn't know what the backstory is, lmao.)
