^^^^ wanted to reblog but also include @braceletofteeth ‘s tags bcos yes exactly I never thought ab Moon-jo’s homosexual undertones this way but we need more non-creepy gay characters mixed in with a few Moon-jo’s here and there (just like we had Jong-woo who wasn’t a creep but then we had Nam-bok and Byeong-min which…. Yeah…) and honestly I really can’t think of any non creepy/horrible canon gay or implied gay characters in kdrama so :/ considering the demonisation of lgbt in korea (though I heard that it’s getting better nowadays) I’m not entirely surprised however

There is something to be said about how when Korea want to make a psychopath (or a character look like one) they make them flirt with men since homossexuals are so scary. Not that I am complaining since I eat it up.

#strangers from hell #this isnt to say they shouldn’t ever have a creepy gay character like no because then that goes into the stereotype that gay people cant #also be weirdos #this is a stereotype that mainly happens with lesbian couples I think but #people assume gay/lesbian couples can’t be toxic or abusive or gay people #cannot be weirdos which is not true at all your sexuality doesn’t define your personality and viewpoints #on the world so yes we Should have Moon-jo’s and gay Nam-boks or even lesbian Nam-boks but #when either one (all gay ppl being the nicest best ppl ever or being creeps) are the only thing being portrayed #thats when we run into problems #and both of these ideas are problematic #one demonises lgbtq ppl and makes us all seem dangerous #the other could lead to some younger gays thinking they cant possibly be abused in a relationship #BECAUSE theyre gay #and also means authorities may not take lgbtq abusive relationships as seriously or cases of stalking etc etc #bcos ‘gay ppl cant do that’#seo moonjo

He identifies as a villain and he wants to become a god but he's not doing the best job at being bad. Aside from ticking off the gods, he's done nothing but good - though claiming it's in the name of evil.

Himst: WHY would anyone of actual intelligence rely on such petty tactics as brainwashing or enchanting? So much can go wrong! On the other hand, I have a devoted following who will do as I say! (because he quite literally saved the lives of a town and they appreciate their savior)

#my characters #he wants to be a villain SO BAD but he needs a devoted following that will stay devoted once he reaches godhood #so hes like no i must cultivate my large following before then so once i am a god i will be unstoppable #and also hes like really super stressed when he hears Other Evil People trying to get their army through force or manipulation #because dude they are GOING to turn on you what is your PROBLEM #you have to get a fully devoted cult THE RIGHT WAY #so he is always helping and saving people to grow his following and its in the middle of the road to his villainous schemes #but everyone else is like oh him? he is SO wonderful we adore him!#mr villain guy just curing plagues and taking care of bandits and killing monster packs #to protect his followers bc in the long run its for his evil plan #and hes doing literally all the good things #and he refuses to acknowledge it as good #he just doesnt understand pointless violence - thats simply beneath him

Y'know I love everything Supergiant is doing with the mechanics and the encounters but I gotta say. Really kills the mood when you take a blessing from Circe that changes your voice and then meet Icarus. The times you see him at all are so few and far between and twice now have I had my giddiness at one of their sweet interactions stomped out bc Mel sounds absolutely insane in the most distracting way possible.

#im a bit torn cuz her voice changing is silly and i appreciate that detail #but for the ENTIRE run? her dialogue for EVERY interaction from that point on?#bit much imo #i feel like continuity is really important so it might be an all or nothing thing #if it isnt id say just keep it for her little comments during fights and stuff #cuz yall are gonna expand the surface and im gonna hit olympus and her voice being so high would fucking suck lol #if we were way late into the game like post credits i wouldnt care so much #but the heart of the story feels a bit shoved to the side when my girl is x octaves higher and no one is even mentioning it lol #hades 2 #hades 2 spoilers #supergiant games #sea plays hades #wonder if i should check out the game discord and put this feedback there?#never played anything in ea but if ive got a problem thats what its for yeah?

Laying on a heated blanket, tucked into another soft blanket, warm sweater, head on her pillow... What a life.

#have her in Sam's sweater rn even though the fit isnt as nice #bittersweet as always #glad i can give her a life a doggie luxury. hopefully only to be enhanced by a sibling...#ive been worrying a lot lately that she might be happier as a single child. all the love. all the toys. all the best sleep spots #she's always so grumpy about sharing when we have visitors... hopefully she'll be even happier in the end to have a partner in crime #and she'll have time to come around to it since the puppy wont be just. suddenly all in her space #there'll be crate training and we'll do the run setup like we did with her. misty won't have to fully share her space for quite a while #we didn't let her free roam the house unsupervised until she was over a year after all #idk. im excited about puppy but also kinda dreading upsetting our peaceful balance. the potential dog drama in particular is not my favorite #when i brought sam home all those years ago i knew there'd be no problems. we had a couple dogs already and they both adored puppies #and male dogs in particular. so sam just was instantly adored by all #and i was 14 too so like. not as worried about dynamics. i knew id have to get a boy dog but otherwise no worries #im struggling a lot with anxiety rn so mostly thats what this is. been thinking about this but mostly not super worried until now...#anyways anyways. probably worrying for nothing. enjoy Misty's cute sleeps #misdemeanor #whippet #dogblr #petblr

with my phantom hourglass replay, there are two things i noticed;

a possible theme you could glean from the game is action vs inaction, and i think it's especially prevalent before you even leave mercay the first time, with oshus frequently urging link to not go after the ghost ship, then to just wait until the broken bridge is fixed, and seems reluctant at every turn while link and ciela are more than eager to go and do something about this problem, and the people of mercay in general talking about things and their problems but never seeming to act on their fears or desires, as well as the mention that due to the ghost ship, very very few people are still sailing around, while linebeck is one of the only people we see in the game actively going after the ghost ship and still sailing around. i might make a longer post just talking more about the action vs inaction in phantom hourglass but i just noticed it a bit and thought it was a bit of an interesting sort of theme you could find in the game.

linebeck moves so fucking much. i think he moves more than any npc in the rest of the game. not just in his intro cutscene where he is very animated, just in how much he moves when just standing in his little idle post, it's damn near distracting when the camera is focused on him, he moves a lot. i don't think i've really acknowledged how much he moves, and it really gives the impression that he's antsy or eager to get going, both of which fit him pretty well with how he acts.

#phantom hourglass #linebeck #loz #legend of zelda #salty talks #imo the action vs inaction thing feels esp interesting to me when looking at oshus specifically. he and his world are in grave danger #and he knows it and he actively does nothing and even seems reluctant to let ciela and link go ahead and do something.#of course he comes around on it but it's very interesting. has he given up at that point? thats what it suggests to me #that hes like. joined the people of mercay in just lying down and waiting for other people to fix their problems or just. not do anything #otherwise on mercay you have that old guy in the bar who spends the whole game not leaving bc he doesnt want to face his wife #and she never goes to the bar to actually look for him and just talks about it if anything #the guy with the blue tunic talks a lot about linebeck and his ship and almost gives the impression that he really wants to talk to him #but yknow. doesnt. theres the women that tells you about docks being shut down and how linebeck is the only person who's showed up #the woman you see at the broken bridge who's just like oh well! time to wait til someone fixes it.#even the guy fixing the bridge iirc is like well fuck i gotta do it or else oshus is going to bitch at me abt it #everyone seems reluctant to act which makes for an interesting way in how our main crew stands out #it is less so oh theyve been chosen specifically for this its moreso they're the ones who are fucking doing something about this #for their own various reasons some of which are more selfish but theyre still doing something #will likely have more stuff to say when im done but ofc we have other characters in the game who have to do with this #anyways. linebeck is so animated all of the fucking time it's great i dont think theres any other character that moves as much as him #when he's just standing around to talking to link it's great. he's so ready to get going.#it works with him being an anxious mess and also with like. oh he's probably understimulated. you know he's got a nasty case of wanderlust #i can put it with the idea that he's understimulated and afraid to stim in public so he's just constantly moving #he probably drums his fingers on tables bounces his leg when sitting paces around switches the way he sits or lays down often #tbh this kinda fits in with him being one of the main characters who takes action moreso than a lot of other characters #his arc culminates in him taking action he's going after the ghost ship he's moving around the world the only issue is that one of the #actions he takes is running away from his problems literally n metaphorically (tho idk if facing the jolene problem is a good idea for him)

Now this might be because I have issues but is it just me or does Slay The Princess feel like an allegory for a relationship?

#like i dont even mean the actual textual stuff like the two gods loving each other i mean like #while the narrator himself does say that he is not the protagonist at all the voices do in fact count him as one of them and #both the narrator and the voices are described as shattered glass pieces on the floor #and im saying that just to contextualise what im about to say because i feel like the narrator is an echo of someone who was in #a relationship with another person and is trying to 'slay' the memory of this person and defeat death not only literally but #on a metaphorical level (as in the death of a relationship). if you do slay her you destroy her memory and in that way you do not know her #at all nor do you care to #and the routes would be the perspectives held by different parts of you. shes literally a being that changes based on who perceives her #but metaphorically thats just how people work isnt it? relationships are complicated and there is a part of you who sees someone as a razor #and there is a part of you who sees them as a damsel and another who sees them as a god etc etc #its like youre a person who is trying to make sense of the situation and; which is why the construct of the princess is made up of #several vessels called perspectives. you understand the whole of what you think only when you take apart all your perspectives;#and theres a you who isnt you anymore who doesnt want to do this. hes telling you to just destroy it. it was wholly wretched and wholly bad #and it changed which is a crime in itself. theres an echo of you. and theres you; built by this echo because thats how the self works #we are each our own god and we build ourselves. the different voices are like different parts of you #much like the vessels are the equivalent of the voices. theyre the finite confined perspectives; aspects of a whole person #and slaying her in this context would obviously mean literally just destroying the memory and deciding that change and all it brings #is an awful thing. though im not yet sure what the difference between leaving with the whole and between separating yourself #and leaving with just an aspect would be.#thats probably like the only thing thats kinda ruining this interpretation lol #oh and obviously a lot of the routes have like very strong relationship symbolism. specifically a lot of them feel like #scenes from a relationship that is falling apart. for example in the adversary and then the fury when you run away the dialogue #basically mimics a partner running away from a conflict and the other one destroying themselves because of it #witch and the thorn are both heavily Esop-coded and the text itself says that its about two people hurting each other even though they love #each other but both are afraid of the other one and of being vulnerable. thorn is about finding forgiveness in one another #and deciding to be better and love each other despite the hurt youve caused each other due to your problems #etc etc #like am i insane am i mental am i projecting?

Media Depiction of bad things in fiction is not necessarily an endorsement but i think one i willstart #Cancelling for is depictions of neglectful pet care that is super common at least until hamster balls and fishbowls and critter trail things stopbeing fucking sold
