Finished Apollo Justice
I'm fine
#the sheepy speaks#first time playing this game so so legally#before the remake is coming out coz i will buy that bitch lmao#because its the aa game my friend thinks most fondly of#and as a mystery enjoyer and certified ''loves 2d art'' person#i understand now#its pretty even where its clunky#its one of those ''id rather play a bad game for a good story'' games#and its not even that bad#its just a little repetitive in places with some obtuse investigations sections#the story was top-notch#the characters were good#the returning ones felt like natural continuations of their prior existence#i also love apollo like a son#anyway uh...seeing The Skull genuinely had me needing a moment to recover#i think leaving it as open-ended as it did in some regards makes it a good mystery in its own rights#i also am so sad there wasnt another game with apollo in it /s#(my friend laments the unfortunate chronic retcon disease polly is suffering from and im...sad ig?)#sometimes games dont need sequels and sometimes...sometimes........#anyway aa4 is a p fun little game and i love it bunches#and i cant wait to play turnabout serenade again in hd /s

I'm really digging the stylistic choices for the Ranma 1/2 remake. They're very cute and dynamic which contributes a whole lot to the action and comedy of the story.
#ranma 1/2#ranma saotome#akane tendo#tatewaki kuno#the Japanese voice acting's also top notch#and this is like the calm part of the manga#wonder what they'll do once the story starts getting more and more unhinged

Watched the MLB movie and I just. I WANT to gush about it but the fact that Marinette’s regular voice actor and her singing voice actor sound SO different just took me out of it every time and left me feeling very disengaged;; At least Adrien’s singing voice kind of sounds like his speaking voice (and Gabriel’s is 👌 bc my king Keith Silverstein can actually sing and he can sing REALLY fucking well) but Marinette’s. The voices are COMPLETELY different and it threw me off every single time. Like obviously her singing voice is really good and I understand why they picked that person to do her songs but bro you could have at least TRIED to get someone that sounds similar to Cristina Vee. It drove me nuts every time she sang bc I was like “That is CLEARLY a different person entirely!!”
I’m realizing this might have been a dubbing issue but still 😭 I feel like I would have enjoyed the movie way more if it didn’t look like Marinette was lip syncing the entire time bc there was such a huge disconnect between her speaking and singing voice
#Also I can’t fucking believe they did that to my boy Plagg. They RUINED him#He did not deserve that#Miraculous Ladybug#MLB#MLB movie#ALSO. Also. Personally. I don’t think it needed to be a musical#Bc that was very jarring in itself I was not expecting it#Since Miraculous isn’t a musical normally anyway!!#They probably could have fit in a lot more plot and made the story flow better if they took out all the songs#And replaced them with actual character development and stuff.#Idk it just feels like they tried to make it like a Disney film. And it didn’t quite fit with the story#I WILL say tho the character models were top notch. Marinette with FRECKLES?? YES PLEASE#Anyway yeah lots of thoughts but I could not take it seriously bc of the awkward voice casting#It actually ruined a lot of the movie for me :’( Again it drove me nuts lmao#Shima speaks#Idk maybe I'll watch it in French next time. Maybe I'll like it better then lol

I’m not saying I’ve never done it before, but the “pssshhhhttt that’s not very realistic” arguments in entertainment are so annoying.
No crap. I don’t want to watch a movie about you waking up and scratching your butt and going to sit in your cubicle and coming home and watching The Office reruns while you eat Mexican takeout.
I want stories that are funny, insane, grand. Compelling. It doesn’t have to be “realistic” it just has to make you believe by its own magic. That’s what I want. There’s a reason the oldest stories that have survived time are epics
#like shut up and watch titanic or twister or the mummy and enjoy it dammit#I mean cmon the princess bride is arguably one of the best movies ever made#and it doesn’t have to be all fairytales#when Harry met sally is top notch romance story telling#like bro. true intellectualism requires an appreciation for good storytelling#I cannot stand pseudointellectualism

december in movies [24/31]: the man who invented christmas (2017) dir. bharat nalluri "It is a Christmas book because Christmas is, or ought to be, the one time of year when men and women open their shut-up hearts and think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave and not another race of creatures altogether."

the real dark urge is the desire to replay this expansive endlessly variable rp-rich experience with the exact same character and LI and decisions except they’re a durge now. the other real dark urge is to make my durge a gnome
#just a funny little guy but for. The Atrocities.#i just don’t feel ready to be done with lux yet…!! 😭 ive even been putting off playing bc I don’t want their story to end…#and there's the appeal of replaying a character after you know them and the game better and can make more in-character choices...#and I from what ive gathered durge/astarion is top notch…#but I want to romance EVERYONE and I want to do all the origins and it's already probably unfeasible that i'll actually play it that much#so it just feels kind of wasteful… and i do already have a fairly well-developed backstory for lux that i like a lot… decisions 😔#talkin#bg3

watched gravity falls with my fiance because i only caught Some episodes as a kid when it aired and we just finished it and im trying not to cry :{ i know people said it was good but i didnt know it actually was
#full offense but sometimes people go wild over animated kids shows that just...arent that good#gravity falls has issues but it was planned from the start and the story + bonds between characters#the foreshadowing and the callbacks#the voiceacting...it really was top notch#hoping for a spinoff#even though i think book of bill is all we are getting

My favorite works in no particular order:
Tipsy Tales (Anemo Boys)
Symbiosis (Ayato)
What Destiny Has Brought (Fischl)
Hello How Are You (Gorou)
Follow the Wind II (Kazuha)
Of the Same Coin (Mika)
Songs of the Wind (Venti)
Nothing Lasts Forever (Yae Miko)
Sharing a Drink They Call Loneliness (Zhongli)
Of Hopes and Prayers (Zhongli)
#about me#it actually is a coincidence that majority are from different characters and not the same#so in like manner as another list i gave a while back i shall give fun facts about each#tipsy tales - one day i will update the post to include wanderer and will not tell anyone or reblog it#symbiosis - one of my favorite readers. i just like the way they speak. i dont have a full story planned for them as of yet#what destiny has brought - in truth i cannot stand fischl. she annoys me. i only wrote this bc i wanted her to stop being so delusional#hello how are you - tbh i only like this bc i think i absolutely nailed the voice and characterization. one day i will write a sequel#follow the wind ii - probably my all time favorite work. features one of the few kisses i have ever written.#(cont) but it cant be understood without reading the first chapter and my thoughts on kazuha as a character#of the same coin - i'll be honest i just think this is cute. i think this fic has one of my highest reblog to notes ratios#songs of the wind - the vibes are good with this one. like the first chapter has good vibes but this chapter is even better. very warm#nothing lasts forever - i wanted to write yae in a moment of weakness. i think i did a good job#sharing a drink they call loneliness - the amateurness of the writing now makes me wince but.... the catharsis and ending is still top notch#(cont) i had a point i wanted to make with this fic and smashed it out of the ballpark#of hopes and dreams - probably the most romantic fic in the series and its a deleted scene lmao. still like how i wrote it though#i forgot to say that these arent necessarily my best written fics#they're just the fics i personally like the best#honorable mentions are:#telling them off (ayato)#completely covered in red (ayato)#simple (alhaitham)#follow the wind i (another one i completely nailed the voice and characterization for in my humble opinion)#secret identities and whatnot (venti/xiao)#indulgence (wriothesley)#slitherer-outer (zhongli)#i know i'm kinda feeling myself in this post but nobody is gonna read it anyway except for u slo so i'm fine with that <3

Finally got around to listening to Secrets in the Dark and while I absolutely loved it, I'll be honest and say I did miss Winston Duke as Batman
#the riddler: secrets in the dark#i continue to be amazed at the complexity these podcasts give the characters#and the respect for the origin stories while still putting on a wholly original spin#also every performance is top notch

Jumping on the ask train, with an in-between question! From the medias you've watched so far, which one do you believe to be severely underrated, and/or deserving of much more attention/love? (Not necessarily something hated by the public, more like a piece of media that's completely ignored/ghosted for a reason or another)
I've already gushed about it in the past but- a little treasure of a piece of media I've discovered last year is the truly wonderful Excavation of Hob's Barrow, a horror themed classic point & click game. It's recent but perfectly mimicks the artistry of old LucasArts games and its atmosphere is incredible. Its genius is the setting - old england folk tales, the rainy moors, a backwater village wherein you're very much made to feel like the outsider that you are - the horror is slow, all-encompassing, it grows in intensity; and yet at the same time you learn to know this village and its people and feel a little less lost. You learn to know the land. And to respect its legends.
This game is very much underrated and I dearly wish more people would get to hear of it and give it a try.
I suppose it's held down by the fact it's horror AND classic point & click vibes, which are two factors that do not necessarily overlap in the average person's tastes. Personally it was right up my alley, and it's a huge favourite of mine from last year (and maybe beyond).
#the excavation of hob's barrow#video games#asks#mine#how many times will i gush about this game? the answer is yes#i really love to find a game that relies on english legends for their horror setting instead of stealing indigenous stories also.#cuz goodness knows this happens way too often#genuinely this game is a pearl#cuz it's not just a horror story#you get to learn about that unwelcoming little town. its people. you learn about your character's past and why she is the way she is#why she has those principles and beliefs#the dialogues and characterization is top notch. there even is character growth- in such a short lil game#everything is so good#best 9 hours i've spent on a game

Ah fuck I’m thinking about Water 7/Enies Lobby arc again
Whoops I wrote an essay in the tags
#one piece#one piece spoilers#particularly a line that Franky says to Robin that really stuck with me#‘no one is born into this world to be alone’#god just the entire central theme of this arc being that you always have a place in this world#even if it doesn’t seem like it#the entire goddamn rooftop scene#the straw hats finally learn the extent of robin’s trauma and why she feels like she needs to leave them to turn herself in#and in response they DECLARE WAR ON THE WORLD#because Robin is their family#and god help anyone who messes with their family#and as if it wasn’t enough that the arc has that whole beautiful storyline#everything else about it is top notch too!#Usopp’s own arc where he learns to let go of his pride and realizes that he can focus on what he brings to the straw hats#Franky facing his own past and finding his place with the straw hats as their newest member#and the fights with cipher pol giving everyone a chance to shine!#nami and chopper get to actually Do Shit!#Luffy’s entire fight with Rob Lucci#Robin snapping Spandam’s spine after everything he did to her#anyway one piece is ultimately a story about found family and in no arc is that clearer than Enies Lobby#oh and don’t even get me started on everything with the Going Merry!#edit: okay so I misremembered something#it was Saul who told Robin that#but also Franky telling her outright that her existence isn’t a sin#aaaaaaahhhh my heart#I’m not really a frobin shipper (I don’t really ship anything from one piece aside from maybe namivivi)#but like. I think I get it
