Even if Capcom didn't plan anything with the writing and Project W wasn't a thing until RE5, I still love the fact that the reveal recontextualizes Wesker's line to Chris in RE1:
It's meant to be all smug he's like "I've always been with Umbrella 😏" But now knowing Wesker's backstory it's quite a sad and ironic line. Like he really has always been with Umbrella... This is one of my roman empires my guy thought he was chilling as Dr. Frankenstein when instead, he was actually Frankenstein's monster.
#some ppl hate this backstory apparently but i kinda like the irony that the mastermind obsessed with power and control is actually just-#-someone else's puppet and has an existential crisis over it. thats just the plot of re5 to me btw bros having a massive breakdown#resident evil#albert wesker#chris redfield#rebhfun#re

Just spent a very enjoyable half hour exploring your color guardians universe! How much flexibility is there in their color palettes? Like could a blue end up leaning more teal or indigo, or darker or lighter shades? Or are they pretty much locked in on the palettes you've given them so far? Also has Anita ever accidentally crossed paths with her family since coming back from the timestream and how did that go? (Angsty, I assume.)
wait firstly, Anita did track down her family upon returning and she does gently stalk them. Generally she avoids them cuz it hurts too much to think about. She doesn't have plans to reveal herself to them until she knows the Colorless are completely gone.
secondly
the colors can absolutely go darker and lighter, but the hues don't vary all that much from what you've seen. This is true for all the Color Guardians. They can't really combine colors, based purely off how they were created. However they can wear each other's colors as accents!
-some examples! Red has healing abilities, and if an injury is severe enough Red can leave a healing star which functions like a magic bandaid
-Orange can force people to tell the truth and whenever she does so it usually looks like the affected is wearing orange makeup
-Pink has mind controlling abilities, but can embue this into objects however she sees fit
#ask#color guardians#that blue guy there is a scrapped blue guardian idea i had back in the day#scrapped because i made him as part of the 'sequel' cast but there isnt a sequel anymore in my head#basically his lore was that a Colorless mind controlled him so hard he was basically a puppet for them whenever transformed#in order to gain his autonomy back pink had to make him the headphones#which become permanent fixtures of his uniform#even tho that storyline is scrapped the idea of making objects that embody their powers in some way was not scrapped#theres a character i havent posted about on tumblr thats got the whole magic item thing locked down tho

redrawing my favorite gba chain of memories scenes with my own interpretations part 1(?):
“You’re thinking about me… You’re afraid of the darkness I command.”
#beep boop you want fries with that#kingdom hearts#riku#ansem#GBA CHAIN OF MEMORIES IS SO GOOD. please play it over the remake im begging. it also plays a lot better too.#every ansem scene is better in gba com because i dont have to listen to richard epcar attempt to be intimidating#they altered so many scenes in the remake and a lot of the changes suck !! just straight up !! i will never forgive them for changing#this scene and the previous lexaeus scenes. like why did they have riku get possessed for a second only for the next cutscene to#literally be about riku trying not to get possessed. like that makes no sense. its just cheap shock value and just treating lexaeus#like shit. at least he mentioned zexion. ok if i knew how to do rom hacks i could literally change the dialogue myself to mention zexion.#ok sorry for complaining. uhhh#the composition is clearly ripped off from the owl house. sorry. season 1 belos scene.#and the background is just the original gba bg of the scene but blurred to look less pixelated#sorry the anatomy sucks. i know rikus arms shouldnt be that long but too late. kms.#this scene is so good because augh. this is the first time in this game we come face to face with the real ansem. not just diz pretending#to be him to just shove down ‘darkness bad’ down his throat. this is why mickey comes to save him in this scene. because riku is in#real danger here. thats also the reason why mickey sends his power again when riku is being dangled like a puppet BECAUSE ANSEM WAS THERE#FOR REAL THIS TIME. anyway yeah i know ansem’s sprite doesn’t appear when he says that but the portrait is a silhouette so i went#weh. why not !!#anyway im obsessed w/ cryptid ansem. ghost inhabitanting a fallen kingdom. continuing the fucked up experiments like if they never stopped#OK IVE ALREADY RAMBLED ENOUGH AND THIS SHIT IS GOING INTO RE:KH TERRITORY. (hunter voice) BYEEEEEEE

I was thinking about TMA in relation to Fnaf because of the similarities between Nikola Orsinov and Eleanor, and I came up with a Fnaf au where roughly the same plot happens but under TMA rules, and I made the MCI kids' fate even sader. William made them into Avatars as part of his attempt at creating the hunt ritual, and now they're required to go around killing and traumatizing people so their god doesn't eat them from the inside. And they have more of their memories than their canon counterparts.
#fnaf#tma#the magnus archives#five nights at freddy's#i assigned each of the main five different entities based on exagerating their traits#and it gave me some really fun ideas and stuff thats too graphic for fnaf#like Susie/Chica a flesh avatar having a flesh!Mangle because she tried to bring her dog back#also themes and stuff like cassidy and william both being hunt avatars#which is the Cop Entity#and stuff about the naunces of power and survielance#cause in fnaf you got all these cameras but so little power#in contrast to how survielance is depicted in tma#like charlie/the puppet is an eye avatar but they repersent the fear of seeing something terrible and not being able to intervene#/failing as a watcher

i am being so brave trying so hard to hold back writing a rant about that 'minimizing narrative noise' comment on totk sage concept art bc its actively flying around in my head like the worlds most annoying fly
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#i have .... thigns to say...............#i need to wait until i get a look at the entire book#and cant go on rants on single comments#then again .... what else is in there .................#i am dreading this thing#like id rather know that there was trouble during development than having a dozen of shitty comments obviously trying to cover up-#-for something- this CANNOT be true#yes narrative noise is a thing that exists- but in THIS game????????????????????????????????????????????????????????#like you basically cut down the already boring plot into its bare essentials that isnt executed well either#and then add confusion and menaingless detailes like the sage helmets “”connecting“” the sonau to the shiekah#when rly it just makes it more confusing bc the hsiekah a prectically gone- the fuck kind of conenction is there#like THAT is what id call narrative noise- weird details that make no sense and arent important#also you cant make a character the equivilant of a blank box and then say 'we wanted them to feel powerful and scary' or sth#BC YOUD NEED TO MAKE THE CHARACTER ANYTHIGN -BUT- A BLANK BOX TO HAVE THEM BE INTIMIDATING#ALSO all the ancient stupid sages do is stand around repeating words like they are puppets- you dont see them fight ever#“intimitadtign” my ASS the useless little knife fake zelda throws at sonia from half a mile away and prob wouldnt even have gotten through-#-her hair is more intimidating than any of the blank box mc sages#youd think they learned their lesson when they made the botw champions DLC bc it fleshed their characters out more and added better-#-shrines BUT NO apparently that was a big mistake huh#maybe thats why every single character is reduced to one boring stereotype or a blank box of nothing in totk#having zelda be anything else but a swooing little damsel waiting for her prince was narrative noise needing to be removed HUH#writing team all fired or what- literally WHAT was going on in there

Just gonna put this here.
#top cut off but its a locg review of abs power origins#aka the john ridley take of waller's origin#and its a mixed bag. and like i appreciate a lot of what hes trying to do in the first bit and retell her original origin which i love to#see. but as i said shes been changed so much its like having bruce wayne become superman to me like 2024 waller has a radically different#set of goals. so telling a story where she would logically have one then pivoting to make her focus on smth totally different at the end#just doesnt make sense. like bc its within the constraints of absolute power and what they need her to be i honestly think theres no way of#telling this story right in the way she deserves at this point in time realistically. like i would love to be proven wrong but thats not#what i see happening#anyways if i was writing this and didnt have to make her crazy 2024 waller id have her learn collins was corrupt after she had basically#secured his victory/gotten him elected (and have had her genuinely BELIEVE in him) only to then get leverage and use him as a puppet to do#some good by voting in the way she wanted. which would then later spark the idea of the suicide squad bc its the same concept (using the bad#people who exist and have power to use that power for good) just on a different scale#etc etc cue events of sui sq 1987#amanda waller#absolute power: origins#absolute power#fuck it ill put it in the tag#wednesday spoilers

SPIDER PILLAR!!!!!
the friendliest neighborhood spiderman, swinging on his webs to...help you save on a can on beans?
yea okay its silly, Lemme have fun with this! I personally think he would make a GREAT spiderman, idk who he's fighting or what powers he gets other than the Spidey sense, but he looks cute in the suit!...
The only issues is he tends to get stuck on the ceiling.
he likes it up there.
#art graveyard#artist of tumblr#welcome home arg#welcome home#welcome home puppet show#welcome home howdy pillar#howdy pillar#spider man#spider pillar#across the spider verse spoilers#spider sona#honestly this was mainly practice with what to do with all his limbs cause WOW hes got so many#my personal idea is hes got a power to bite through anything#like how catapillars wat through leaves#lei nicknamed his lockjaw cause of that#also that firefly? thats dollie#shes new#original character#original art

i find it shameful that the leaders of a series of eastern european and balkan countries are choosing to either stay by israel or keep their mouths shut on this. we are countries which have no history of colonialism or colonial outposts around the world, in fact, we are countries with a long history of struggling against imperialism and opression from several bigger empires, and we know what it is to be opressed in this way, and we know what it is to have your people ethnically clensed and your lands stolen while your delegates desperately beg foreign countries to please help them and noone does shit bc bigger empires have split the world up amongst themselves (like the fall of romania to the soviets most recently). i find it shameful that romania, which was one of the first countries to recognize palestine in 1988, and which has been praised over years for standing by palestine and trying to promote a two state solution (okay not perfect, better than nothing this shit Is complicated regardless of what internet ppl say) again and again and support palestinian interests to the UN,,, is now largely choosing silence and through association with the eu, standing by israel. come the fuck on. in part im sure because romania (and bulgaria) are already on bad terms with the eu, western euro doesn't like that we are in it and were having issues w shenghen and corruption and plenty of other shit and our ""leaders"" probably wouldn't wanna throw more fule to the fire, in part because our ""leaders"" are mostly amoralistic self interested money stealing corrupt good for nothing fucks who barely give a shit about their own ppl even. either damn way, shameful
#also zelinsky numeber 1 american dick enjoyer can go fuck himself of course hes like hurdur israel u hypocrite this is only bc#ur hand in hand w the ue#*us#and im sure he realies hes just a puppet now for american interest and economic investments and military shit against russia in the region#thats the only reason america gives a shit about ukraine. and he chose to go w it bc he needed the military power to keep ukraine going. and#yet. still. hypocricy 🤷♀️

AND there are canons where Bruce is perfectly well-adjusted, has hobbies, hangs out with his friends, loves his family, and is a perfectly normal, sweet guy other than the whole "billionaire and Batman" thing. But Alfred gets all the blame and none of the credit with you "Alfred was a bad parent" people.
But??? I never said?? Alfred was bad???
#being an unprepared parent doesn't mean bad parent#alfred was not prepared to deal with a traumatized child. 'good' parents would have issues dealing with a traumatized child#and let me just get this out of the way; there's a very big difference between turning out 'good' and turning out mechanically functional#bruce can never truly be a 'stable' model member of society and thats outside of everyone's power! alfred didn't worsen anything#and the things you describe are spoken for for any well written bruce who's not a fictional puppet for a man to jerk off on abuse#and macho ism#guess what -- a lot of traumatized folks lead happy lives as well. and a lot of people with stable upbringing with ' healthy parents'#can experience social hardship as well. the post i think you're referring to (which was one: already disqualified alfred as a bad parent)#and two: was a joke that even a tweleve year old could comprehend - wasn't calling him a bad dad. he was a dad who didn't know what to do#at the time. if you can't tell those two apart thats your issue mama

I love NAE and I know he is a bit (well, more than a bit) of an antagonistic cretin, but it feels like his anti-social personality might be a coping mechanism for personal issues and insecurities he is struggling with. I could be completely wrong and he's just simply a bad person, but I feel like it's more than that. Either way I think he needs a therapy animal.
hoyly hell you've just given him characterization shots in so many directions that i don't know where to look first GJDSKLMCL
he's not exactly antisocial or anythin! antagonistic cretin he is, but that's just how he rolls, lil bit of a douche- have you seen that one vid with a guy walking his Emu hold on here- he embodies this in most situations
youtube
on one hand NAE is a lil shithead but he's a Fun shithead. cursin' up a storm is kinda just what some people do/how they interact. heavens know that when i bring out the curse n nasty words it means i'm havin a nice chill convo with someone
after this
he went and notified his own Admin/Mechanic about it so she could've go and help out Sparrows with things
if he was just Plain asshole stuff like this wouldn't happen
these two hang out, Euros gets a rise outta him by bringing up something painfully stupid, NAE calls him a fucking idiot with an apocalyptically low count of neurons and then they continue their hang out
he's neither a bad person or coping with his own issues/insecurities! he's just a tiny ball of rage who's rolling through life wishing he had one more finger so he could flip people off. bastard is prolly the best off outta the dramatic tragedies that are most of the Eo iterators
guy is guying 🤷♀️
n honestly he'd... probably kick an animal sooner than take one on for therapy reasons, he would Not have the patience
#spot says stuff#rw#oc tag#not callin ya stupid or anythin! gon say that to make sure since this could come off as such- everyone will perceive chars in their own-#-way n thats valid. just with ocs i do kinda feel the need to correct a wee bit since i know 'em best n have the power to do so#but nah NAE is kinda one dimensional in that he doesnt have much drama/tragedy going on#one of the main things about the characterization that he Does have is that he Would step in front of euros to protect him from smth#like imagine some other iterator givin euros shit in the off string post ascension au. euros is goin thru it with the rot in his puppet#hes tired he struggles with just standin n so on. its a lot without someone comin at him n yellin into his face. NAE wouldve traveled with-#-him to the Root since they are neighbours. yah hes putting himself between the two!#see Gem n Expiation r prolly the ones who get closest to bein villains. n thats by denying n ignoring Spores dire condition#the whole 'busting sparrows n euros' business is in similar vein like with candace in pnf the consequences dont really come to him for that

wip but something really wrong with him. however i think he should be allowed to all things considered
#he really shuda put money towards like. idk. a hobby#but whatever man live ur life. anyway yeah he has an obsession with nhps now#i really wanan write stuff down but tldr tldr hes freaky more than usual and is trying to find the perfect nhp to break into#the perfect puppet he can exert his power over and in a sense. feel in control of his life and get back the things he lost#determined to be doomed -_- thinking he might accidentally get his hands on jules and this is like. doomsday bad bc jules is an extremely#unstable and lonely nhp whos desperate for connection#the cycle never ends til this guy gets like. therapy or something i dont even know man. he got better but he got worse ok#tbh the only thing that would snap him out of the obsession is again. realizing that sigourney was so completely destructive to his life#and trying to get her clone back into his life cant heal that wound. u cant love somebody for someone they arent.#thats not sloane to him thats sigourney so its really. not healthy

the suckening is literally all flesh and hunt its about vampires man. BUT if we ignore all that. emizel (+the dangs generally) is slaughter. shilo is web. arthur is the dark.
#my post#edward is also the web unfortunately#vex n viv are still flesh <3#the midnight circle + the unseen one are eye#the dangs are slaughter bcus the demons and fangs fought eachother bcus. well essentially bcus they were told to. you two hate each other#and you will hurt each other and you will kill each other. and so they did.#shilo is the web bcus my boy loooves to dominate people and command them around and puppet them#arthur is the dark bcus. shadow powers. but ALSO thats his view of vampirism. a monster in the dark.

during the finale was he possessed for a bit by the watchers or was it more of a puppet situation
...
#secret life#the nether#asks#millythebat#-ah that-#-i dont think martyn has talked to anyone about that-#-bit i had been observing at that time-#-its impossible to tell what happened 100% from my outsider point of view but..-#-id say it was more of a puppet.. kinda?-#-watchers gain power in emotions-#-for some reason all martyns seem to have large connection with them. though i couldnt tell you why-#-my best guess is that they were using martyn and sort of suggesting thing he should do. in a sort of indirect manner-#-kinda like a strange urge-#-martyn did as he was told and gave the watchers more and morer power over him until they could basically overtake his mind-#-not completely but enough to push him to do more drastic things-#-and while i dont have proof for this-#-i do think that they might still have some power over him-#-thats just my thought-#-you probably have seen more of martyns time in lim life then i have. would you say this is somewhat possible?-
