page 28

"OMG, Bruce is such a girl dad with Cass! She's his favorite and is the best behaved kid. XD" Congrats, you have failed to see Cass outside the lens of Mr. "Cass is perfection and can do no wrong ever." Wayne. Now, how about you start thinking about female characters outside of the view(s) of the male characters they interact with. Is that possible for you.

[doverstar]

in the final episode of the show, Vanessa tells Doofenshmirtz "you're basically a nice guy who's pretending to be evil" and it changes his entire view on his life. she points out it's not actually making him happier to be "evil". that end to his character is something I think about almost every week. Doof is such an unexpectedly-popular part of this zany cartoon and they chose to point out the most obvious thing about his character only in the last episode, and it makes you look at every rewatch differently with him. it's so great. it's great that Doofenshmirtz stops being evil at the end of Phineas and Ferb. growth is essential to characters. Candace had to grow, and Doof had to grow, and they were the true main characters of the show. the only ones who needed to learn, and they learned. and now in this new season they're choosing to retcon that for the sake of the formula? weak. weak. I hate that

[smilesrobotlover]

I need to make an SAE meme every few weeks or else the balance will be off

[a-fire-of-ice]

for percy jackson i need to know what they would do if they wanna adapt hoo. like walker will be 30 or something by that point

[sovaharbor]

like varric was killed in more ways than one in this game. his agency was killed off, his character was killed off, and he himself was killed off. and it's just like......for what. for why. for who. for your nostalgia bait? fuck u bioware

MODS FINALLY WORK SO WEWH UNDERWAY AT LAST...!

Mirror mirror on the wall, damn I sure look fine! I can't blame those horny boys (and girls), I would make me mine!

...anyways enough of cringe early 2000s songs it's Orlesian Game Time:

Well that came out WAY more aggressive than I intended. Let's just pretend Stella chose the first option instead and leave it at that.

(all these options fucking suck, so let's just go with the first one even though it disconnects with what I previously said...)

Considering that it's you vs French Lesbian Maximilian (with a bit of Harvey Weinstein thrown in for good measure)... I'm not sure Orlais ever is going to get stability or security. Seriously what in the American politics ARE these choices...

*sigh* Okay, let's pretend that Briala met with The Inquisition, Stella specifically, before incognito while trying to escape Wifebeater Extraordinaire (and most likely to reconvene with Sussy Baka Solas). And because they've met before, she has something of an idea about how much of a POS Celene is. Unfortunately, Celene is the "best choice" politically, and she would have to settle with saving Celene, but allowing Briala to escape and carry out her rebellion.

It would also provide some actual conflict with the Josephine romance because she's a hardcore Celene supporter and Knows Nothing. So from the way Stella talks, Josephine would probably think she intends to support Briala/Gaspard. Cue the rough patch in their relationship, and being forced to Play Nice at Halamshiral like Your Parents attending a function after they just had a marital spat.

Well, with that cutscene and fanfiction gap filling out of the way, let The Game(TM) begin...

Speaking of the robot girl story!!!!

Top row: still unnamed robot girl on the left, Diana (another robot) on the right. Diana is technically older, but was designed to appear younger, and is much more childlike. She was intended to be more of a spy than your typical living weapon — children can get away with things adults can’t.

Bottom row: Abby (the daughter of robot girl’s creator — hasn’t seen her dad in fifteen years. Refuses to answer to the name Abigail. He’s the only one who ever called her that), Abby’s wife Nell, and their son Oliver, who is about eight here (it’s hard to show age on Picrew)!

and yes botw link should get to be a little cocky as a treat

[rainy-daze1]

Had an interesting day in the notes app today

(also hi! This is probably a weird first impression of me... But hi!)

this is true

(haiii hello hi! ive gazed upon your visage before ((seen your blog and posts sometimes)) )

[angel-on-parole-archive]

Also I realize I have not been on as much. But the special interest of dragon age has me in a choke hold.

BUT ALSO. NOT SPOILER FREE IN THE SLIGHTEST AND ALSO HAVE ZERO IDEA WHO HERE EVEN CARES BUT I DO AND ALSO I HAVE WHAT I KNOW TO BE UNPOPULAR OPINIONS

(This post got. So long. I'm putting it under a read more.)

I've been a Solas apologist for a while and Veilguard has done nothing but affirm my goddamn stance on that shit. Yeah when I played inquisition the first time I punched Solas in the face that one time BUT I was 14 and did not know shit about fuck.

But in my older and wiser age (that feels like it ages me by quite a bit more than it really should-) I have never seen someone more goddamn relatable in my fucking life. Whoever wrote his character got possessed or has been through the shit he has. And I've been in many way too similar positions.

And I have no one to talk to about it the only person I could (... which was bunny) did not like him in the slightest and the only point she had to stand on was the shit with the titans. And the only reason she stood so hard on it is because she had a love of the dwarves.

Other than that, she felt like he was just a pretentious prick and hated the fact he *checks notes* lied about being divinity and passed himself off as mortal, while trying to fix mistakes he made in inquisition. And trying to fix his mistakes in general.

Like no one should ever try to fix their mistakes ever.

(I'll give the argument that I think he should have had more than his own opinions and thoughts, I always think something on larger scales should. Two (or more) heads are better than one. But I still entirely see why he does what he does and I can't say I'd do a whole lot different aside from, as said, getting people's opinions provided I trusted them enough. But I know he's divinity, at least in some sense, and I get why he felt like he couldn't do that. God do I get it.)

... this and the mage rebellion are two things we just had to agree to disagree on.

(She would have rather improved on the circles and kept the Templars and that Anders was entirely in the wrong as opposed to. Actually letting mages be free.)

(Do I think Anders is perfect and has done no wrong? No. Do I necessarily agree with him committing terrorism? Not exactly. But I do agree with the why, and a message needed to be sent. And no, having a mage as Divine does not magically fix things just because she's a mage and she's hot. I'd pick Leliana as the goddamn Divine because of her own position as originally being the left hand of Divine Justinia and also because she's far too cunning to let shit slide (she is literally the spy master in inquisition) and knows how to play the game better than anyone else I know of.)

Nothing against Vivienne, tho. Mostly. I do think she doesn't realize her privilege as a mage within the nobility. But that's a can of worms for another day.

[brofightiscancelled]

<- this user just found out their niche fave from the kun manga has been confirmed REAL in -san

[dancingunderagatheringstorm]

The sheer audacity of Castlevania: Nocturne giving me Julia Belmont, an incredible vampire hunter, the highly skilled descendent of Sypha Belnades and Trevor Belmont, and killing her off less than 10 minutes into the first episode?! First Lisa Ţepeş gets murdered by the Church in the first episode of the first season to motivate Dracula's rampage, now Julia Belmont gets murdered to kick off her son's future arc. I get that Castlevania's world is bloody, and murder is very common, but this isn't a fun pattern.

(I'm only 20 minutes into the show, and based on the previous show, I'm willing to bet we'll get some great female characters later. I'm just very grumpy not to get this one.)
