i think the real reason Lucanis has a coffee addiction is so the animators had an excuse to show just how good they are at making characters hold cups now.

like look at that. its not floating 6 inches away from his palms. it goes up and down with his hands. he's even got one hand on the handle itself! we've come so far since the hilarious joining chalice animation in Origins and Solas's cup of misery tea that floats 4 seconds behind his arm movements

Table to Screen: Episode 81 - What Lies beneath the Surface

[calcified-fluorited]

what fucks me up abt arcane (and why I can't shut up about it) is that it isn't just the copaganda where the cops do nothing bad and refuse to punch people or whatever, because for the most of the series you are shown very explicitly just how brutal and dehumanising they are towards lower class people and how they are perfectly okay with revoking the right to BREATHE from zaunites as a simple means to an end, and then the show asks you to feel sympathy for these very same cops. Yeah they did bad things but they have feelings too :( that means they are already on the path to redemption right :( fuck off lmao

Wow Viv

Not only is she showing that her world building makes no sense, she calls her own fans out cuz of it.

Make your world make sense and people wouldn't be so damn confused Viv!

Never getting over how Paint the Town Blue and Rebel Heart were wasted on an Act where Jinx doesn't go apeshit even a little, despite having plenty of reason to.

Jinx in S1:

"I'm worried Silco thinks I'm weak." [blows up Enforcers about it]

"I think my sister chose a cop over me." [blows up Enforcers about it]

"I accidentally killed my dad and I'm turning my back on my sister." [blows up the Council about it]

Jinx in S2A1:

"My sister turned bluebelly and is helping her cop girlfriend gas the undercity." [attempts dual-sororicide and blows the Grey into Piltover about it]

Jinx in S2A2:

"My emotional support child who I supposedly developed a deep familial bond with was arrested by Enforcers and taken to prison." [makes quips at and gives the finger to an Enforcer about it?]

Seriously though, a person with zero mental disorders and no abandonment issues would've shown more emotion over having their child/sister arrested than Jinx, notorious overreactor, did. We get one (1) moment of seeing her haunted by her hallucinations and then... nothing. Cool as a cucumber, not even particularly serious, cracking lighthearted jokes and exchanging quips. Who even is this!

And why the hell has Jinx been lying low and refusing to go even a tiny bit ham on the Enforcers when Isha actively wants her to do so. One of Jinx's fundamental character traits is that she has A Person, and she wants to be of value to that person by fulfilling their goals (even if it's in ways they didn't ask of her). So why is she ignoring something Isha really wants her to do! Who even is this!!

And it's not as if Jinx is acting like (kid) Powder either, because you know what Powder did? Build bombs to use on Enforcers. With nails in them!

With the recent interview where the game director basically says "well people were always going to be mad at this game since it would never match their expectations anyways" and the amount of idiots calling anyone who dislikes or point out flaws as "entitled", let me say this: Bioware - yes, Bioware - are the one at fault for our expectations. They made us wait 10 years and promised a dark, immersive fantasy RPG entry in an established series where relationships and choices matter, and choices from the previous games would carry over. Instead, what we got was an action game with shitty writing, plot holes and a whitewashed world without any decisions besides who did your main character fuck. They did that, not us. And it was also they who lied about all this, and the only reason it got revealed was because a beta-tester leaked it. This is the same company who made an entire fake trailer for Anthem before the game even started to get made, they are not above lying to get your money. It is not just a question of "I didn't like the game and now I'm sad", it is a question of paying a substantial amount of money (because guess what, when you live in a third-world South American country with a fucked-up economy, video games are expensive) and waiting ten years for a lie. Anyone who still wants to defend this studio and call me entitled can eat my ass.

Stolass has been banished, lost all of his powers and suffered from a nervous breakdown but still...

That's how he kicks Andre's ass right after arriving at the palace. And he lifts a huge ice statue up like it's nothing. And, uh... Elsa's evil rip-off just lies down, squeaks and sucks it up submissively despite he has appropriated ALL of Stolass' powers!!! Bitch, WTF?!

Also a little bit earlier in the same episode:

Vivzie, could you please be consistent at least throughout a SINGLE fucking episode of your own show?! You literally have so little to no interest in something outside of the glorified toxic yaoi you doesn't even try to hide it anymore!

Savage Opress, as a character, is what a certain type of Anakin stans want Anakin to be, in practically every aspect, and the fact that he's so underappreciated in the fandom is partially because seeing the reality of a character who is actually damaged in those ways makes that certain type of fan uncomfortable. In this essay I will - [gunshots]

[stormlight-archive]

Now that the first half of stormlight is concluded. Can any of you honestly say you're satisfied with how the class system and its dismantlment were handled?

I remember when I said that the moment Kaladin stopped being treated like a darkeyes, he stopped caring about darkeyes. We just stopped hearing about them for the rest of the series despite class struggle and systemic oppression being a major plot point that never got resolved.

Everyones argument for my take was that the systemic oppression WAS resolved and that the social classes were being dismantled.

I remember reading that and being like? Were they? Was the overarching conflict of the last two books just resolved off-screen with barely any mention?

Was class dismantlment really enacted by the will of a monarchy? When has that ever happened in history, and what are the moral implications of that?

Why couldn't there be any question of power spoken from the lower class without being shamed for it? Why was kaladin the one who had to work on his prejudice against lighteyes and not the other way around? Why was Moash written that way?

How can we even be certain that darkeyes and lighteyes ARE equal citizens? How many povs or conversations have we had with an actual darkeye in the last 3 books where they talk about their current rights and social status, how it's changed, and how their lives have improved?

The only example I can think of is the guard that died for Navani in book 4.

How absolutely certain are you that the only reason that kaladin doesn't think of darkeyes anymore is because there are no longer any darkeye problems?

Notice how im asking a whole lot of questions with no answers. Again, are you satisfied with how class was handled in Stormlight Archive?

I find myself agreeing with this woman’s thoughts on Alicent’s character this season. Which is a shame in many ways…

(Tagging those who might be interested in what this video has to say, I apologize if any of y’all have been trying to get this off your mind only for me to tag you here lol)
