im constantly going back and forth about whether or not to rename some tdop characters.... mainly percy, athene, and zagreus... i like the names for them all especially because pallas is also an epithet for athena so it makes athene being the one to completely ruin pallas' life and body and forcing them to change their name and everything extremely fun. but at the same time i worry that me giving a bunch of my ocs greek mythology names because its one of my special interests gives the impression that its a retelling/adaptation or that the characters are analagous to the figures they share names with when theyre Not i just really really really really really adore the names and thought it was fun for some of the characters to have those names while filling similar roles... does this make sense

how I look trying to convey how insane it makes me that fugo spent his entire life being adultified for being very smart- first by his parents, then by that teacher, then by Bruno (hear me out), and possibly even by himself. No one treats him like he's another kid like Giorno or Narancia or Trish. I would argue even the fandom perception of him doesn't treat him like a kid.

Why is he responsible for Narancia? Why doesn't he get the same backlash from Bruno when he joins the gang? Isn't he younger than Narancia, and just like him has no business entering a gang? I would argue that because of his intelligence even Bruno always saw him as capable of keeping up with the adults, and therefore did not offer the same resistance to him joining the gang. Either that, or Bruno simply needed his intelligence and didn't care that he , too, was a child who should have been protected from becoming part of a freaking gang. Neither of these options paint Bruno in an appealing light.

I don't know. I have feelings on this that I can't properly articulate. It just bothers me that people gloss over how it seems the only person who saw Fugo as the kid he was was probably Abbacchio (based on what little we saw of their dynamic in PHF and VA). Idk. Raaagh

How likely would you say it is for the TF One Decepticons to be radicalized into saying “yeah you know what? I think we’re just gonna call off this whole war idea” by meeting their alternate selves from other universes

Because like, in comparison to the High Guard. Megatron is an absolute violent psychopath who still can’t get over his ex and is doing space crack from robo-Satan in one universe, Starscream has for the most part gone full pathetic, even if still powerful, Shockwave is on the milk carton in like half of these universes (though granted it depends on when in the story), Soundwave is probably the only one doing relatively fine. But either way, everyone’s become the worst versions of themselves. Not to mention, Cybertron is either dying or dead (well except TFA), to the point where they’ve had to leave their home planet, and they’ve been fighting a war for millions of years and there’s still no victor, Optimus and Megatron are both still alive; all that’s been accomplished is the destruction of their home and people

Like I don’t know how off the deep end everyone from TF One is, but I feel like all this, and them also getting a very clear general picture of what their future will hold, would at least make them second guess the whole declaring war thing. At least the High Guard command trio I think, if not Megatron realizing he did not think through his actions

i yet again do NOT understand why people think that what happened to steven in future came out of nowhere. the main show beats it into the ground how fucked up all this stuff has him! just cause he ends the main show in a good place doesnt mean that everything was solved! he solved the gem stuff but not himself, that was the whole point!

like. those people show that they didnt even pay attention to the show AND they dont understand trauma. like. shut the fuck up !!!!

to the people saying jinx could never reciprocate ekko's love in the main timeline because of everything she's been going through... i need you to examine your unconscious biases against mentally ill characters

thinking about klavier gavin again because i saw someone say that the fact that he's the only prosecutor in the series who wants to find the truth and isn't insanely obsessed with winning like the other prosecutors makes him really boring

and i understand it to some extent when comparing him to other prosecutors but... Klavier Gavin??? BORING????

after playing aa4 i was OBSESSED with klavier gavin and the untouched potential of this guy

he loses his best friend/bandmate, his brother AND his mentor in the span of like a year?? i think??? which is INSANE.

there's something very tragic about klavier, a person who values finding the truth above all else, finding out that two of the people closest to him betrayed his trust and lied to him and used him for their own means AND ARE MURDERERS.

and then his mentor, a person who taught that seeking the truth is what a lawyer should do, gets murdered by a person who believes that winning in trials is the most important thing above all else WHICH IS THE SAME EXACT THING THAT KRISTOPH VALUED AS WELL !!!

this core belief of finding out the truth that klavier has, leads him to finding out about the things that daryan and kristoph did, and even though they are important to him, people he CARES about, he continues to work with apollo to see that justice is served.

and the fact that we don't get to see anything of klavier getting any closure after the events of aa4 makes me insane

we never get to see much of klavier's feelings on what happened or him fully processing the events of aa4 and that one case in aa5 and it makes me soooo upset. i wish he got more than that little cameo in aa5 and that one tiny flashback appearance in aa6.

in an alternate universe, aa4 got a true sequel that fully explored klavier's character, as well as phoenix's, klavier's, AND apollo's relationship with kristoph, and klavier's relationship with phoenix post-aa4, and also a more thought out? (for the lack of a better word) backstory for apollo, and an exploration of the jury system, and a game that ACTUALLY built upon the foundation that aa4 laid out.

and i am forever upset that we are not in that alternate universe.

i cannot wait for the day the great gulon incident short story is published so people can stop fucking asking about it

[darlingod]

Not that what I say matters but I’m annoyed of people saying how sick they are of seeing others’ portrayals of Jude and Cardan being inaccurate when the “inaccuracy” is clearly a sarcastic thing the fandom does. Most people here don’t actually think Cardan is this weak little puppy who’s Jude’s bitch. 99% here do not think Jude is this heartless murderer filled with an unending lust for blood.

People are just joking when they give Cardan and Jude shit like that. Enthusiasm creates hyperbole. Hyperboles create jokes. Such and such

imagine being so bereft of joy that you cannot stop yourself from leaving this comment on a benign "look at this fun fandom mug my spouse bought me, enjoy this funny personal anecdote to go with it" post

sorry for existing i guess???

sure-fire way to make me respect you less as a person: tagging isafrin or sifloop as 'm/m'

Dragon's Dogma 2: Main Pawn - Affinity

As it turns out, your Main Pawn can be befriended by/"fall in love" with your Arisen (the Main Character).

Pictured below: my Main Pawn fawning, aka: the blushy boy

(i play on the lowest settings to save frames, bear with me)

Look at this dork! :'D

I accidentally got him in this state by spending waaay too much gold on him at the Clovis's Barberie (the hairstylist), but you can also gain affinity with your Pawn by:

high-fiving them after fights, spending time with them by drinking at the taverns (beer mug icon on the map), waving at them every-so-often ("hail" interaction) and talking with them from time to time (small talk/matters of import)

So - by treating Pawns like real people, they can become more… human?

...and fall in love?

OW MY HEART

I'll admit I'm a sucker for qijiu, (this could be my hyperfixation on sy talking), but I think those idiots deserve someone who's brand of chaos isn't murder. Or self sacrifice over deeply internalized guilt.

I've been wanting to do this for awhile

Here are ALL of Killers cats (as of chp 16) from @lady-of-disdain s Killer x reader fic Poor Little Meow Meow

I love this Fic and all the cats in it sm

GO ReAD IT!

@moe-broey THANK YOU!!! AND IM GLAD THE RUFFLES ARE APPRECIATED!!!🎉🎉🎉

But seriously this is the highest compliment, because this is actively what I’m trying to do when it comes to how I draw Kiran! I really want to convey how unabashedly charming this silly little tactician is. It helps explain how they keep the order intact on a social level and also why this keeps happening:

In retrospect, Alfonse never really stood a chance, did he?

Anyway I won’t lie, I did all this for the Loki bit. Please imagine that she’s just off screen for all these outfits hitting that exact pose.
