Just finished s3 and I swear to god that Shules scene was even more insane than the almost-kiss moment holy FUCK

She actually fucking asked him out oh my god!!!!! But of course she had literally the worst timing in the history of the human race 😭😭

And that CHEEK KISS HOLY SHIT????? The way he closed his eyes to it and they were still closed when she rubbed her thumb over the spot she kissed,,,, absolutely insane

Basically what I’m saying is, current mood:

All their money is going straight to Agata’s pockets.

so if you romance and ascend astarion you can kick him in the balls when he tries to turn you and it’s just very funny, he’s so pissy about it. so much for the most powerful vampire of all time or whatever, he stamps around like a toddler and then leaves forever

it's been literally a day since revisiting new leaf but I want everyone to know I'm having an insane time so far

The worst part about getting into the sonic fandom via matpat's playthrough of the murder of sonic the hedgehog is that I can't help but imagine blaze as british but only in that game

Every now and then I have to remember I got into oni for the gameplay. I bought the game solely because the gameplay looked interesting to me. Even once I realized there was lore I actively decided I didn't care enough to go through it. I fell down the rabbit hole on Accident. And it's all because I read scientist Bubble's journals and realized that onis story was the most me bait thing I've ever seen Ever

I wonder if the reason they gave Tyr both hands in GOWR is because with the giant’s prophecies the depictions of him (figure with a helmet, beard, and spear) are actually supposed to be Kratos (has beard and spear at least by the end of the game) and it would be Too Obvious the difference between them if prophecies involving Tyr were missing a hand and the ones that are supposed to be Kratos have both

man. flowey is still alive (or asriel) people think he died and a part of him did die but hes still alive. hes still alive and he had to live with the 1 (one) person he remembered being Actually Fun and understanding him is (mostly. narachara theory lives on + theyre there. To Me.) dead and everyone else is just a character in a game of which will run out of dialogue to say and hes trapped underground with the same people and same places in a neverending world where he can reset and reset but nothing will change he will still be haunted by an emptiness he literally cannot leave and Has to live with it and in the end. its alright. like hes presumably happy with papyrus in the undertale alarm clock dialogue. he has a ways to go but everythings a little better and maybe he can too.

also the fact he thought chara came back to life Literally in the genocide run is so fucked up you dont understand. he sees frisks body as charas, like he literally comments on mistaking frisk for chara (now mistaking Us for chara), and he asks how they got there, until he realizes toriel must have brought them for a proper burial. but he still asks why they came back and if they heard him calling to them do uou Know about that??????????????????????????? thats so fuckignt. ofuejwowgekedjbrleoegroejehr

also theres a video about flowey being loveless and i like it a lot. aro + personal struggles yknow. people can be happy and not love

anyways sorry. this is why im not for reviving asriel/just a flowey post the. previous post got me thinking

/ realized I forgot to put this in my bio and will add it later but

heads up that my Yuri is a combination of JP Yuri and dub Yuri, but primarily JP. there's a whole lot of nuance to Yuri that got left out of the dub (and seeing as he has waaay more content in JP due to the vast amount of crossovers/Tales crossovers/gachas he's in, it's a lot easier to keep Toriumi's take on him (and in depth understanding no less!) in mind). overall you get the same general person, but the dub left out a lot more his casual/playful side in vocal tone, preferring to go for the "edgy cool adult" concept despite, well, the JP version of him intentionally being quite opposite.

(on another note, context I use for Yuri involves nuances found in the drama CDs that are a condensed retelling of the game (before some original stuff) as well as his childhood novel which has voiced dialogue for his child and teen years. this post covers the game, but a lot of (especially internal) stuff for my muse may be heavily affected by his backstory too which is unfortunately completely absent in the actual game itself)

there's also a lot of back and forth between him and other characters that really lost their depth in the dub (ex. Yuri being much more gentle and soft with early game Karol when Karol was convinced nobody would believe him and that he was a failure, or his banter with Flynn being a lot more relaxed and significantly less annoyed with a better understanding of each other). I'll be retaining anything the dub yeeted out for whatever odd reason regarding his relationships.

(one particular grievance of mine is in the Flynn jailbreak scene, where Yuri is basically saying "you're just dying to abandon me" and Flynn starts off with "that's right" before basically saying the same thing - i.e. they both know it's not true and Flynn is going along with it because That's Them, to which Yuri responds with a solid and fully accepting "yeah" (no hesitation, no concern over it, as he prioritizes Flynn's life over his own).

another extremely strong grievance I have is the port scene - oops also with Flynn - where he's basically holding back tears asking for answers in desperation, which was extremely if not outright completely lost in the dub where he only sounds angry and not just utterly hurt. dub Yuri? I could believe he might kill Flynn if it came to that. JP Yuri? forget it, he would hold back at the last second and couldn't go through with it. that's genuinely the level of difference that was present between both audios.

that said, I love Troy Baker's performance itself - I just think he was unfortunately deeply incorrectly directed for several of his major scenes, and also unfortunately, some of those cases were involving some of his most important relationships)

if any of y'all play Vespy any time soon, I fully recommend giving it a shot with its original context at least once (if you're playing the DE version there's an option for JP audio)! even if you don't understand JP, at the very least the tone won't be lost on you! from what I've heard apparently there wasn't much communication between the directors on both sides, so a lot of Yuri got lost in the localization (and Karol's screaming is glorious in JP lbh).

tl;dr Yuri really is just a silly little guy and he's really not that cool or serious. he's a dork. he's a dummy. and he's easily embarrassed about it. get deep enough into his feelings for Flynn when they're not in a life or death situation and he'll completely cave in embarrassment.
