I don't listen to people that haven't played a new Kingdom Hearts game since 2006. Yes yes kh2 we all love it yes kh2fm is amazing yeah yeah we've all see kh2. Play more kh games, that is literally game number 3 in a series that's like 15 games ongoing. "It's confusing" it's just long as fuck so its a lot of information to take in and that's okay. People literally take so much time and care to explain the series and lore to people who are lost. Like just say you enjoy kh2's gameplay and move on, if you really cared about the series AS A SERIES you'd be paying attention to it as a whole. "Dream drop distance what a stupid title!!!" that is the LEAST stupid thing that has happened in this series. "It's on too many consoles" watch a cutscene movie. Read a wiki page! I own a Playstation TWO!!!!!!!!!! like I have nothing more recent other than my switch. Do you think I've played every game lmao??

Anyway stan kh mobile games I don't care if you don't like them its not a hot take by any stretch of the imagination to not like them. You should read my khux/dr plot summary actually <3

I'm at a very weird point OS wise like, I'm in the process of switching linux distro and have definetly stopped in my head to be a suse user now and I have started to become an arch user but I haven't finished becoming an arch user yet and its kinda weird

I'm in distro limbo and now I have to move data and configs and stuff

[zannolin]

real talk i actually do put like. an unreasonable amount of effort into my textpost memes behind the scenes so it's actually really rewarding to get to share them thanks for putting up with my antics

[justanotherfanfolks]

Back at it with the memes: Now ft actual gameplay content

Sometimes I'm surprised that monster hunter isn't more popular among the creature design and spec evo corners of tumblr, at least the portions that also play video games, and then I remember that it's just about as hard as soulsborne games (I'd argue some specific entries are even harder) but doesn't have any of the atmospheric or story elements to attract people. It gets by on sheer gameplay alone and isn't a pvp game either. There is no way to make the game easier besides picking one of the less mechanically complex weapons and git gud. If it wasn't for the neat dinosaurs I couldn't think of a game less alluring to the average tumblr user

2, 3, 19, 34, and 44 for Kyrah? or whichever you prefer if that's too many numbers

For the Character Development Hard Mode asks. There are also more answers here, here, and here!

2. What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like? Very loving! Kyrahlise was a mama’s girl! Telessa* even had a special nickname for her, Ahlise, that no one else used. Her mother taught her a lot, including how to use a bow, and ride ahfuri and horses. She gets her love of reading from her mother as well. When Telessa passed away it gutted her. Honestly, if Zori and the rest of the clan hadn’t been there it would’ve taken much longer for her to come back from her mother’s death. There are lots of little ways that Kyrah keeps her mother’s memory alive – keeping up with using a bow, the way she dances, her little gestures and mannerisms, how she puts her hair up, and baking bread (it’s the only thing she can bake without it ending in disaster, lol). Actually, the first part of The Best Proof of Love is Trust has a little memory of her mother that I think gives an idea of their relationship.

3. What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like? From the outside Kyrahlise didn’t seem as close to her father as her mother. Their relationship was very good, just different. Valendil* was more of the stern, proper parent, as befitting the political leader of the clan. Though she always knew he loved her very much, and he was never unfair or harsh with her. From him she gained her love of art and creating it, cooking, as well as diplomacy. While her mother was her beacon of light, her father was her rock. But even a rock can crack under the right circumstances, and he did when his wife died. This put a wedge in their relationship for a time. Not because they loved each other less, but they were both in so much pain and he couldn’t be there for her the way he once was. The relationship did heal eventually. His death on her Flower Day was another huge blow to her. As I mentioned in another ask, I don’t know how she would’ve come out of that if she hadn’t ended up at the Veiled Circle and eventually made friends there.

19. What is your character’s biggest relationship flaw? Has this flaw destroyed relationships for them before? Answered here. I love how y'all really wanted to know this about her! <3

34. Is your character more likely to keep trying a solution/method that didn’t work the first time, or immediately move on to a different solution/method? This can depend on the context. For instance, if it’s more of an academic problem Kyrah’s facing, she might try the same method more than once in case she made a small error the first time. In a social situation, if one way of handling it didn’t work she’ll drop it right away and try something else. In general she’s quick to move on to other ideas. Unless she thinks it’s possible she made a mistake, and fixing that mistake would cause the first solution to work.

44. How easy or difficult is it for your character to say “I love you?” Can they say it without meaning it? In the timeline of the game, she says it very easily! Kyrahlise has a big heart, and once she trusts someone and feels like she has a decent grasp on who they are, loves easily. This is probably a lot of why she’s so close to the other Shepherds. Telling her friends she loves them is as easy to her as breathing, and she means it fully. The only way she could say “I love you” without meaning it, is if it got her and/or others out of a really bad situation without things escalating. If somehow the only viable choices were to lie or violence, she’d choose to lie. Otherwise I don’t think she can say she loves someone without it being true. *I didn't come up with her parents names, I got it from this ask Lena answered about how MC's parents met.

fucking. running out of tabletops with you. so make a guy for either Cyberpunk if you wanna go easy or Eclipse Phase if you want hard mode

transhumanist psychic genemodder gets the fuck out of dodge to do their own thing, locates a derelict ark ship floating on the edge of civilized space, starts squatting, and proceeds to construct 584376834 new bodies for themselves just for kicks, most of which wind up in the trash* or in the refurbished cryochambers (don't ask about what happened to whatever was in there originally) until long-term isolation compels them to start uploading copies of their brain to everything within spitting distance, including the ship. they have a vague idea of which one is the original, but it doesn't really matter because they're all lowkey psychically linked anyways so who give a shit.

in game terms: isolate - genehacker - async / scum faction w/ 500000 morphs fuck ya life bing bong

Reverse Unpopular Opinion: Allagans

They were like, "We're going to make our giant crystal aether siphon SO aesthetically pleasing," and by the gods, they did it.

Their geometric/linear design motifs in general to be honest. I look at the nodes and I'm like, "I want one in my irl apartment."

[techniiciian]

me: i should say hi to this blog that followed me me: i should ask if this blog would like to plot also me: how dare you try to talk to anyone, you know youre shy and riddled with anxiety also me: fuck it we ball

[cassandracain52]

Reverse trope

where instead of the Bats forgetting that they’re adopted (something actual adoptees do on occasion and is hilarious) they forget that some of them *cough Damian cough* aren’t

_______

Jason in the heat of a probably ridiculous argument: Yeah well YOU’RE adopted!

Tim just as invested in said argument: So are YOU! We all are!

Damian who had previously been quietly watching this unfold while he drank his tea: Actually I’m not

Tim and Jason who didn’t realize he was there but are already DoneTM: …… Damian continuing to sip his tea entirely unbothered: :)

Damian: Because I’m not an orphan-

Jason: ok, yoU KNOW WHAT-

____

or like in their group texts (that we know they have thanks to Nightwing (2016) #79)

*Steph changed the group chat name to “Bruce Wayne’s Personal Orpanage”*

Jason: Really?

Steph: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Steph: It’s the truth Damian: Both my parents are very much alive

Steph: Shhh you don’t count

Cass: Mine too Duke: Technically so are mine

Barbara: I still have a dad so there’s that

Steph: YOU GUYS ARE RUINING THE JOKE

Tim: Stephanie aren’t BOTH of your parents alive???

Steph: KNOW WHAT? FINE

*Steph changed the group chat name to “The Technicality Police”*

Tim: well that’s more accurate at least

Steph: :)

_____

Damian in his 10th argument with Tim of the day: That’s- this is-

Tim in full Antagonizing Big Brother mode: I’m listening

Damian -a Gen Z and best friend to Jon Kent- extremely frustrated: This is such Motherless behavior!

Tim taken aback: [voice cracking] W-what-?

Damian who didn’t mean to say that but doubling down anyway because his bloodline doesn’t believe in admitting mistakes: THIS! This is such Motherless behavior!

The rest of the family who is also motherless: :O

Cass whose been spending way too much time with Meme Queen Stephanie Brown and not involved in the argument but finding it entertaining regardless: [nodding along seriously] Facts

Tim: [visibly betrayed] CASS WHAT-

A video copy of the interaction gets sent out anonymously to the entire family. Barbara is the prime suspect but there is no proof as of yet (and they will never find any)

Steph, Cass, and Duke continue to respond “Motherless behavior��� everytime one of the bats does something they deem questionable/insane. It is said often

It only stops when one night in the middle of patrol. Batman is in full Dark Knight mode (possibly in the middle of threatening someone) and descends from the ceiling into the middle of a warehouse drug deal, dark cape billowing out behind him-

and Steph just automatically whispers “Motherless behavior” forgetting her com was still very much on

She immediately realizes what she said and frantically apologizes but it’s too late.

Bruce just- Blue Screens. Completely stunned into silence

Dick -who was unfortunate enough to be the one teamed up with Batman tonight- is fighting for his life to choke back his laughter

Jason doesn’t even try to stop his and has collapsed to his knees from lack of air from how hard he’s laughing. Cass try’s half heartedly patting his back to help to no avail

The criminals are terrified into surrender from The Red Hood just laughing hysterically at seemingly nothing while Batman just Stands There

Damian ends up being the only one still functioning enough to continue arresting everyone, though he is privately amused and strangely proud

Tim and Barbara have saved both the com recordings and cowl footage to at least three different servers and sent it to absolutely everyone before Batman even recovers

Duke finds out second hand the next morning and is furious he missed the chance to see it in person. He declares he is moving to the nightshift so it doesn’t happen again. (He is all talk and goes to bed by 9 pm)

Bruce bans the phrase for life and promises swift and server punishment to anyone who dares to use it again

BATBOYS GENERAL HCS DURING DATING ── .✦

a/n: my posts are barely getting engagement so it would be nice to reblog + like + cmmt tysm! Also

I’m so tired because I don’t know what I want to do with myself when like writing because I don’t have much ideas yk, (I do have a lottt of ideas just don’t want to like spam and idk how to like execute it correctly so ya) but I’m so grateful I’m back!

(Tags: batboys general hcs + fem!reader)

DICK GRAYSON ── .✦

Compliments: Dick will compliment you constantly, but they’re the slightly extra kind. “You look like you just walked off the cover of a magazine… Or like you’re about to rob a bank with your style, and I’m here for it.”

Date Nights: Dick is a hopeless romantic mixed a romantic flirty person. He'll plan elaborate date nights that are almost too perfect. You're having a candlelit dinner on a rooftop... until a mosquito swoops by, and you both spend 20 minutes trying to catch it.

Awkwardly Adorable: Dick tries so hard to be smooth, but when it’s just the two of you, he ends up tripping over his words, saying things like “I love you… like… in a non-creepy way… I mean, I know that sounds creepy but—“, “you know dick, you could’ve just told me you loved me no need for all that extra yapping.”

Sharing Food: He can’t resist sharing his food with you but will dramatically defend his fries. “No, you can't have any. This is the last one. You’ll be fine. It’s called 'the sacrifice of love.'”

JASON TODD ── .✦

Grumpy But Cute: Jason might be brooding and grumpy on the outside, but once he gets comfortable with you, he’s a sucker for giving you the best hugs. They’re just not as soft as you expect, because, well, he’s Red Hood and that’s not very 'soft' in his book.

Love Language: He definitely has a love language of throwing sarcastic remarks at you to show affection. “I’m just saying, you look so good, I might actually let you live longer than five minutes without me.”

Meme Sharing: Jason will share the funniest memes with you, and he will laugh harder than anyone else when you send him a reaction meme. You two could spend hours going through meme after meme while ignoring his patrol responsibilities.

Late Night Conversations: He’s always the first to text at 3 am just to say, “I’m not okay. Also, I think I might’ve made pasta in the Batcave, but it’s 80% burnt and half of the 20% is missing on the ground in other words, it’s fully burnt. You in?”

TIM DRAKE ── .✦

Puns & Dad Jokes: Tim is the king of puns. You might be mid-sentence talking about something serious, and he’ll sneak in, “Well, that’s egg-sactly what I was thinking.”

Organizing Everything: Tim will have a notebook just for your relationship. He organizes things like "future plans," "annoying habits to change," and “how we can both pretend to be normal in public.”

Overthinking: Tim might send you long, thoughtful texts about nothing and everything, then panic and delete them. Later, you get a short text that says, “Hey, I like you. It’s cool. Let’s go save Gotham.”

Netflix & Research: On date nights, Tim is all about watching a documentary on some obscure topic. You wanted to watch a rom-com? Nope. Tim says, “Let’s learn about the history of ancient pizza ovens.”

DAMIAN WAYNE ── .✦

Fiercely Protective: Damian will go full boss mode in a relationship. If someone even looks at you wrong, he’s ready to challenge them to a duel. You’ve never seen someone challenge a guy at the coffee shop to a sword fight over a latte until you met him.

Literally Shakespeare: He has this bizarre habit of reciting random Shakespeare quotes when trying to express his feelings. “My love for you is like a tempest, crashing and relentless. Also, I think you forgot to add sugar in my coffee.”

Jealousy: He’ll get jealous of even the smallest things. That random guy who offered to help you with your grocery bags? Damian’s glaring at them from across the parking lot, preparing his “You’re not worthy” speech.

Tenderness: Don’t be fooled by his brooding exterior. Damian will get you flowers (in his own way) — like a very dramatic single red rose that he purchased with the least amount of emotion possible, but you know he spent an hour picking the perfect one.

BRUCE WAYNE ── .✦

Grumpy But Loyal: Bruce is that partner who takes a long time to warm up to things, but once he’s in, he’s in 100%. He’ll still be grumpy, though. If you show up in a bat-themed shirt, you’ll get a raised eyebrow and a grunt that could probably level an entire building.

Affectionate In His Own Way: Bruce will bring you your favorite coffee without asking because he’s been paying attention to your usual order for the past six months. But if you say anything about it, he’ll act like he’s annoyed. “I’m Batman. I don’t do things for people.”

Overprotective: He’ll put the Batcomputer between the two of you if he’s feeling protective, even if it’s completely unnecessary. Someone bumps into you? Bruce is already three steps ahead, tracking their life history and figuring out their deepest secrets, just in case.

Romantic, But Quiet About It: Bruce can’t show his love through words, but the way he gives you his jacket when it’s cold speaks volumes. Of course, he acts like it was an accident. “I didn’t want you to catch a cold, that’s all. I’m not a softy, don’t read into it.”

GENERAL TRAITS FOUND IN THEM ── .✦

Matching Outfits: They’ll all pretend like they’re too cool for matching outfits, but one day they’ll catch themselves accidentally twinning with you, and neither of you can ever act normal again.

In Public: They’ll all act like they don’t care if you hold their hand in public, but if anyone tries to grab your hand instead, they’ll give them a glare that could freeze a person in place.

Batman’s Turtleneck: Every Batboy secretly loves when Bruce wears his iconic black turtleneck and glasses. They all think Bruce looks like a mysterious intellectual, and they might just start commenting on it to mess with him. Bruce is too focused on Gotham to care.

i was not doing okay so i decided it's time to try penitence mode on extra hard cuz apparently I love pain. felt like redrawing this meme cuz it's exactly how it feels to play

If there were two hedgehogs in the void and one of them killed the other with a rock would that be fucked up or what?
