It probably didn’t come as that much of a surprise that the Rabbinical Mercenaries were duped into believing that they were on Coregatedstielio II to defeat some enemy of the Holy Temple.
How unfortunate that the mercenaries were so married to their beliefs that they didn’t question why they hadn’t seen a Coregatedstielian in the flesh even once.

the fact that iron bull opens his recruitment conversation with pretending he doesn't quite remember the name of the the inquisition's ambassador. Jose-what's-her-name-again. he's just a big dumb jock no thoughts head empty mercenary who likes fighting and drinking don't worry about lil old me inquisitor! I'll hit things for you if you'd like as long as you pay me! ],) and then right after he reveals he's a spy he drops that he knows not only the name of your spymaster and how she operates but also her haircolour. (but like in a safely bro-y way tho! make that fighting and drinking and fucking! I'll be useful to you but in a real meathead non-threatening kind of way I'll be too busy bedding chantry sisters to do any real harm ],) continue to not worry about lil old me inquisitor!)
god bull you're so multidimensionally and fine-tunedly full of shit I love you so much fhdksah
#my love affair with the particular psychological damage bull has got going on continues unabated it Compels me#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#iron bull#AS IF you'd forget josephine's name even if you were just the successful mercenary captain you pretend to be you motherfucker!#the way he subtly controls the tone of that whole conversation is so fucking elegant and cool#say what you want about him and even though it's destroyed his soul bull does know how to do his job#(also the 'could've just been a guy in a spiked helmet orlesians aren't too bright' dig if you're adaar is just *chef's kiss*)

"we need more complex female characters" you couldn't even handle her
#ash: hey idk if it’s a good idea to give full access of the most advanced warship we have to a mercenary who shot a suspect in cold blood#and a cop who quit his job because there were too many rules (and also happens to be a member of the military we were recently at war with)#also i think the council will throw us to the wolves to save themselves#like half the fandom: omg space racist???#sorry for discourse posting™ but i saw a terrible post that rocketed me back into 2013#anyway we may have preferences but we love and appreciate both virmire survivors in this house#mass effect#ashley williams

It's really amazing to me the extent to which the last issue of TF2 comics has caused basically the entire project to snap together into something pretty thematically coherent, and the theme in question is the same as Dead Money
#Scout finally giving up on pauling#Heavy realizing he was sequestering his family for no real reason and coming back to the world#Sniper realizing his birth parents weren't ever a mystery worth solving#Engie implicitly finishing out his contract with Helen and dipping because he wants no part of whatever Pauling does next#Saxton realizing he doesn't actually want to run a company and he'd rather die fighting with Mags#Charles Darling was kind of an abortive Plot point but they were gesturing at this with his animals#You can see the moment Demo realizes his mercenary career was ultimately predicated on bullshit#so many beats#tf2 comics issue 7#thoughts#meta#team fortress 2

i can’t sleep rn so i went to check on smth that’s been haunting me since i rewatched the first las nevadas finale again
so when punz first confronts purpled in his cave, they bring up the fact that quackity had been torturing dream, to which purpled said was an obvious lie, and that he didn’t expect punz to have been stupid enough to believe something like that. the exact dialogue (with some bits in between) is:
punz: did you know that quackity tortured dream for six. months. six WHOLE months, purpled.
purpled: […] and the prison thing is bullshit. you know that they don’t allow ANYONE in there EVER. like, you know this. c’mon, punz, you’re SMARTER than that.
and i found that strange, because i could’ve sworn purpled knew about quackity’s actions. i knew he was gunning for the revival book, obviously, but maybe i’d gotten confused. maybe the in-universe explanation was that he’d heard quackity was after the book from slime without the prison ever having been brought up or something
so i went back to the betrayal, and sure enough, purpled brings up the prison visits when confronting quackity. it’s the first thing he confronts him about actually. and yes, admittedly, there’s no confirmation to purpled knowing about the torture necessarily. he knows as much as slime did, whatever that may have been. however, it’s made clear he does know that quackity had constant visits with dream
i think the ccs likely just forgot, however the in-universe implications are FASCINATING to me because it just goes to show how much of a conniving bitch cpurpled is. he knows quackity was allowed into the prison, and if he didn’t know about the torture, he’s pieced it together thanks to punz’s speech, but he still denies it. he wants to keep what he knows close to his chest and he wants to belittle punz as much as possible. it’s borderline gaslighting, honestly - “no, punz, dream had to be lying to you, no one gets into the prison. c’mon, you’re a smart guy, don’t tell me you’ve fallen for such a stupid story. you’re better than that.” and i love it so so much. purpled already spends that entire interaction insulting punz outright and asserting his own superiority so this added layer of boldly lying to their face is just the cherry on top 💜
#icarus speaks#midnight analysis#<- kinda#i also think it’s super interesting that purpled admits to thinking punz is smart#bc like. he’s not saying that to appeal to them#he likely knows the truth. he knows punz isn’t lying#and purp gains nothing from just insulting them to their face#i don’t think cmercenary were like. brothers in any way. i don’t even think they were necessairly close#however there is SOME history to them which is interesting 2 me. bc purp wouldn’t just say that without proof#i always see them as having like. mutual respect as mercenaries#maybe having worked together a few times. less than a handful#but not really close yknow#anyways. cpurp gaslight gatekeep girlboss continues to be real#i love still finding little tidbits about her to be able to pick apart#they get worse every time i rewatch a vod it’s great 🫶

Pac: In a- in a far far away tower, there used to live a prince called Fit, waiting for someone to climb over the top and save him!
Fit: [Laughs]
Pac: Kinda like Shrek, you know? [Laughs]
Fit: That's right. I've been waiting!
[Context: They were talking about how Fit's "house" looked like a tower / water tower.]

One thing I really want to see happen in Season 4...
Valdo Marx: Nice to see you again, Joseph!
Jaskier: *Heavy sigh* That's -
Yarpen: *Stepping in front of him protectively.* Julian Alfred Pankratz to you, you dying sounding beached whale! Only his friends call him Joseph!
Jaskier: Ah, actually, that's Jaskier.
Yarpen: *Dismissively.* Yeah, I KNOW.
Jaskier: *Getting all teary eyed.* I know you do.
#The Witcher#Jaskier#Yarpen Zigrin#Their friendship is legendary#Valdo Marx#Their rivalry is a legendary#Does Valdo know Jaskier is a honorary member of a fierce dwarven mercenary company yet?#No but seriously I kind of headcanon that the reason Yarpen is so pissed at continuously being reminded that Jaskier's named#Julian Alfred Pankratz#Is because he noticed that Geralt and even Yennefer were calling him “Jaskier”#While Jaskier introduced himself to Yarpen using his whole freaking name!#Jaskier just wanted to be respectful and polite#Yarpen took it as a desire to put some emotional distance between them and imply he hadn't earned the right to call him by his#Chosen / preferred named#And then despite all they went through together on that mountain and claiming to be a friend#Jaskier still continues to insist on introducing himself using his full bloody name!#Like what does a dwarf have to do to get some familiarity and recognition of kinship from that bloody bard?#But then Jaskier puts his life on the line to help Yarpen's men...#And Yarpen realizes that Jaskier cares enough to take an arrow to the back (or to the lute at least) to keep them safe..#He's not a warrior that revels in the rush of battle!#He's just a scared bard rushing headfirst into the fray just because he wants to help any injured dwarves#Even if that means potentially sacrificing himself...#So maybe human customs are weird...#Maybe Jaskier has been waiting for *HIM* to start calling him “Jaskier” and officially signal the start of a friendship...#Maybe that formal introduction wasn't a slight on Jaskier's part and that overgrown puppy of a bard has been waiting for Yarpen to finally#adopt him like an idiot!#And so Yarpen chooses to skip the formalities and go straight for “thank you JASKIER” to make it clear that he does consider him a friend..#My Posts#My thoughts#In tags form

the training montage in crossroads re-ignited a headcanon i had of geralt waking up and doing gymnastics, performing kickflips and mid-air spins around on a fencepost outside an hour before sunrise to ‘limber up,’ and bleary-eyed dandelion wrapping himself up in a blanket to be like "heyyy... what the hell are you doing 💖"
#if you're wondering what kind of moves he's doing he's standing on a fencepost and doing your typical flexibility stretches#but alternating between reps of stretches with kickflips from one post to the other#like ciri training in kaer morhen#i'm not going to lie witchers are cool but fandom ruined them a bit for me and now crossroads has given me that childlike wonder back#because fandom heard 'physical ability and stamina' and did you know what with it#but the agility and precision of witchers remain so underrated. as part of the deconstruction of the superhuman trope#geralt doesnt really show off as much in the books and does cool stuff only when needed but#like when (mentioned) he hit the rat in the darkness with his thrown fork... as a party trick#and killing renfri's men in the market at blaviken... and killing the scoia'tael on thanedd#and RUNNING ALONG THE BRIDGE on the battle of the bridge#and the nilfgaardians were amazed and they WERE AMAZED AS THEY DIED!!!!!!!!#and killing rience's mercenaries who didn't know who they were fighting so they were like hey what the fuck... what the fuck#i'm literally back to witcher 101 basics here. nothing interesting to contribute but like a little boy i am just smiling and saying#'dude geralt of rivia is soooo cool he can like fight a bunch of guys with his sword'#half of me wants to seek deeper themes and half of me is just like YOOO GERALT SO COOL !!#listen... there is a time to plant a time to reap#a time to analyze and a time to geek#i should probably just watch a bunch of ballet or best of gymnastics comps and i'll find what i'm looking for#also sorry CROSSROADS OF RAVENS SPOILERS artamon dying was a hilarious moment i know it was like oooh this will have consequences#but it was nice to have the evil antagonist get merked in the sme chapter as he's fucking introduced#and not even by mature experienced geralt but by some literal eighteen year-old who he tried pulling a fast one on#1) i was happy that sapkowski didn't drag it out terribly. this was humorous and refreshing after in season of storms#2) geralt almost riding off but having a feeling to go back... listen i know it's so cliche and it's giving lady of the lake chapter 4#where he eavesdrops in the caves under castle zubarran and just happens to hear stefan skellen reveal that vilgefortz was in castle stygga#but it also was satisfying to me because after reading the hussite trilogy#where reynevan (stupid and young man; like geralt here) DOES NOT LEARN after several. SEVERAL lessons#i was honestly worried for a second that we were going to get a reynevan moment. but no. because this is geralt and not reynevan#and seeing geralt develop critical thinking skills in real time was not only satisfying but a bit funny#and yes nostalgiabaiting me#like omggggg yesss his detective skills yesss that's so geralt of him

Shout out to the Mukuro "Clones", such a great concept I wish we got to see outside of KK. So fascinating to see Mukuro having worshippers, especially ones that dress as her considering the whole thing with her constantly dressed as Junko. But also, did mukuro know about them? Did she have her own army of girls who obsessed over her? Theres at least 20 of them, and thats just how many I could count AND how many FF has captured. Considering they just kill everything in their path, I'm assumeing a majority of them died. Did they do the same thing Junko's worshippers did when she died when Mukuro was killed? Are these her Remnants?
I so desperately want a sequel to IF that just confronts everything in KK, I wanna know more about the "Clones" and what her dynamic with Takumi would be.
#mukuro ikusaba#scarposts#just the fact takumi was pissed at them#like youre doing the same thing they are#you IMMEDIATELY ran to be a mercenary (Mukuro's ULTIMATE talent) after the massacre#he was just pissed at how horrible at being mukuro worshippers they were#he takes his role as Ultimate Mukuro Fan very seriously

The blue eye samurai fandom, for some reason
#I am once again asking if the kids are alright bc it doesn’t really seem like they are#friendly reminder that mizu kills people ny guys including unarmed randos and one unlucky teenager pissing his pants in a corner#but sure Taigen is irredeemable. lay off my emotional support blorbo.#blue eye samurai#taigen#and hey I love Akemi a buttload but she has at least nine lives or something no way would getting robbed in the woods#running off to a brothel and getting re kidnapped go half as well for anyone else#no one ever took advantage of her it’s incredible I’m glad and all but my god those were stupid risks to take#I’m so looking forward to her political intrigue character arc but let’s not act like she hasn’t done some dumbass shit#and Mizu’s a fucking mercenary. does she kill for money? no but she killed for information and she’ll kill anyone in her way to get what she#wants. taigen as far as we know has only killed peoples in duels and fights. he’s not out ganking randos.#the point of this show is that this is not your average cartoon and none of these characters are average black or white types#everyone’s grey and it’s all delicious#enjoy it.
