Eurylochus: Nothing could prepare us for thе power that awaited inside

Eurylochus: Gods, monsters, you know the roster, but this was a hell of a twist

Eurylochus: We are weak to a power like this!

Odyseuss: What was it?

Eurylochus: A woman

I get using no specific iteration of the TMNT in a crossover and just making yet another new version. After all, the franchise has had many, many different versions at this point, so it's easy to accept that this is simply one more to add to the pile.

But Naruto has... one. Just the one. So when all of a sudden characters are written/shown to have expertise that they shouldn't have at the age they're being depicted, it just ends up feeling weird.

I get that fitting things into the Naruto timeline can be a chore. Do it too early, and Sakura is kinda useless. Do it too late, and Sasuke's off murdering people. And if you try to set it after the series, the power levels are seriously gonna be out of whack.

But breaking the only canon that has ever existed for these characters makes them feel like... not the same characters. I might be the only one who cares about this, but it really took me out of the story, to the point where I couldn't help but focus on it. I don't want to be distracted from page one of a silly ninja crossover comic.

Damn,

I finally got to the end (and start, and middle lol) of Baten Kaitos Origins because living in Europe meant I couldn't play it when it was released and -

First of all, serioulsy to all people who see a game and its prequel released later saying it's better to play the prequel first : fig you - if writers/devs designed a game to be a "prequel" they designed the story to flow this way, you learn about X and Y in the first game, and see how they were made into X and Y in the second game!

The experience was designed like this, you can choose to use a slide by climbing on the slippery side first, but it wasn't meant to be enjoyed this way!

Secondly, regarding a certain game I've been ranting about for the last 5 years...

(heavy spoilers under the cut)

Why the fuck did this game made around 12 years ago went so hard and masterfully tackled the "mysterious entity with amnesia is bound to a rando joe who was engineered to host the mysterious entity" thing?

The parts where you live through Marno's (who is U! The mysterious entity!) FB and how you were led to believe it was all about Sagi (the host) being "special" was masterful, especially that last part where both player and characters understand that no, the corrupted/slaughtered rando who was later fused with his siblings to create the eldritch deity you must defeat in the first game... wasn't Sagi, but the random entity you're playing as!

(bonus points for playing an unwinnable battle where you're killed at the end lol, by one of your party members who is also revealed to be 1k years old through this FB!)

And then, Sagi and Marno decide to work together - Marno lends his power to Sagi - and they save the world from another eldritch being.

Like, sure sometimes the time travelling through FB - but not really because you can bring stuff from the past in the present so it's not only FBs - is sort of confusing and yet I really really digged it, complete with the realisation that those people were fucked the second they were led to side with demons/whatever the dark brethrens are.

This past, that has consequences on this story (and on the story of the first game!) isn't just a footnote in an optional book, or delivered in an infodump without having anything nor anyone react to it, no. You play through those events, time travel shenanigans or not, you play as those characters and see what happened (rather, what led to the events that you learn happened).

You see were I'm going lol -

We could have had the same situation going on with Billy and Sothis - Billy being the stand-in for Sagi and Sothis being the stand-in for Marno, trying to recover her memories, living through them (while Billy'd believe they are the one having those "mysterious dreams") until the final reveal, the gremlin is the Goddess the Agarthans hate, the ominous lady with a strange hat seems to love and miss, and the one everyone prays to.

Sothis, who would like to finish the millenia(s?) old feud and asking for Billy's help, and Billy agreeing because this feud is also endangering the current people living here and the ones they grow fond of.

But no - if the devs went through this route, would the player still care about Supreme Leader?

As much as they want?

Well... Sure, Shanath and Baehlit aren't that memorable, but imo, you can't completely ignore them, what happened 1k years ago happened 1k years ago, but those people exist, and ultimately, Verus was the one who put everything in motion because he was an asshole (and parasited by Wiseman too?), in turn, pushing Geldoblame to, uh, well, do the things he does in EWLO and led him to seek power at all costs, even releasing an eldritch entity who will ruin the world.

Add the fact that BK also has, at its core, a story about people being turned into parts/merged/slaughtered but while the first opus didn't focus that much on them - even if the hero and the female lead mentionned they felt their sorrow and pain - the second game? Reveals their names, characters, designs, place where they lived, etc etc...

Meanwhile, in Fodlan, we know who Leif is, but we don't know and aren't supposed to care about the person who became Freikugel.

Malpercio, the Eldritch Entity fought in the first game, is an amalgation of five siblings who were corrupted and merged by sort of demons, each sibling was turned in a "part" of that entity, head, leg, thorax, chest, arms etc etc.

In the second game, you learn and meet the sibling turned into the "legs" of Malpercio, her name is Pieda (uh) Le (sure) Monarna (finally something that doesn't mean or is related to legs lol.

Thunderbrand?

After FE16 and Nopes, it's just... a shiny sword!

I thought that the "Doodle doodle dee. Wubba wubba wubba" was from VH1. Now It's MTV? WTAF!!

Nahhh. That, can't be true.

[rainbowgod666]

I recently reread the entirety of @the-hydroxian-artblog's "hanging out" comic (and the printer ink arc one) and considering my blogs main gimmick is "every fandom ever all at once and up the ass with autism and tumblr" uh

Yeah

Warcrimes

This post is kinda like my other one but a bit better lmao. I might make variations of this with other pieces of media but it depends onnn how well this is received

[flight-freedom]

We used to hold hands, man, that was enough (yeah) She used to meet me on the Eastside In the city where the sun don't set And every day you know that we ride Through the backstreets in my blue Corvette Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight We can go anywhere we want Drive down to the coast, jump in the sea Just take my hand and come with me, yeah

Life's weird.

Just got back to my apartment that gives me headaches and is in a semi-impoverished town. Shortly before that I listened to two 20 something pilots brag to each other about how much their houses and boat payments and family investments were worth while also occasionally making airplane sounds with their mouths.

Kinda disassociating really hard. I don't think I even remotely want to stay in the town I'm in and consequently state due to difficulty of finding reasonable rent closer to the area I'd thrive in. Evidently even if you pay $1500 a month for rent you still don't get something decent.

I don't know if I'll be successful in life, more and more that outcome feels dubious but.. I do know that I want community and friends and a safe place to settle-down and settle in for my 30's and 40's. It's strange thinking that like.. EVEN IF- (big if) I become successful I might (do) want loved ones more than money or material things. But it's hard to create/find community if you're not gonna stay somewhere for years. Also "getting money via working" is straightforward, finding someone to love and who you can build a life with isn't- at least it doesn't seem so to me.

Relatively where I grew up is goorgeous but there's utterly no community because it's a tourist area and most folks born after like the mid-90's are miserable. (At least the ones I know) It sucks. Whereas the area I'm in now has people who're doing a bit better and has community but again- rent is insane for what ya get.

Lastly and tangentially- I don't understand why my brain knows that if I talk to someone I like/admire/am shy around they'll probably be happy to interact with me and chat but another part of me thinks of all the semi-rational reasons not to talk to the person.

"Ohmymyhair! It needs cutting surely they'll notice and not want to talk to me!"

"My clothing isn't very stylish... guess I should just leeave"

Like... WHAT brain? Why-are-you-like-this?!

But yeah. I was REALLY hoping this year would be a good one and that I'd find community and a place to build a life/safety-net. Kinda sucks that that looks like it won't happen.

"It wasn't well hidden, silly! Its right next to the 1917 box! ... They just aren't marked"

So many things are wrong with this lmao

[zoe-oneesama]

I wonder what change would've you make Gabriel if he was an actual effective sympathetic villain the show seem to think instead of the pathetic display of canon. On the other note, what would've you make to actually have Emilie be this saint like character the show keep saying she is

To start, there'd have to be lines that Gabriel just *wouldn't* cross. No akumas that target his son, for starters, no "Chat Blanc" scenario where he finds out Chat's identity and then beats the shit out of him, and no making ridiculous decisions for Adrien like deciding his girlfriend.

Season 5 Gabriel cannot exist, it was actually inSANE of the writer's to put the worst version of him on display...and then play him off as the hero. Like, wut? WHAT?!

I fully admit that in the earlier seasons, I didn't consider Gabriel an abuser. I considered him a dick, but abuser felt too...top shelf of a word to use, though I also contend that his behavior felt like the starting signs. Mostly I just considered him pathetic and like Kids Tv Exaggerated Version of a Strict Parent.

But Season 5??? Uh, yeah, no discussion, this guy is an abusive dickbag and can burn in hell.

Just make it so the reason Hawkmoth fails as often as he does is because sometimes he holds back. Sometimes he gets close to the line and remembers his wife and just can't make himself do something SO heinous that his wife would be disappointed.

As for ACTUALLY selling the Emilie is a Saint Mom, it's super easy. Just have flashbacks. Where she's interacting with her husband and child and sorta not girlfriend? Like, they revealed these video recordings of Emilie in SEASON 5! It took FIVE SEASONS for us to hear Emilie's voice from Emilie herself! (Amelie doesn't count)

And, uh, maybe as a writer think about what you're implying with the things you include in your story. Like, maybe EITHER have Adrien not ever have a birthday party OR have his mom missing for only a year, so it doesn't seem like Emilie *also* didn't care about his birthday. Just, you know. Little things like that that don't accidentally inform us of her character.

shy!readers first time on top😛

“let’s see wut ya can do bun”

"c'mon, bun... lets uh, lets see what y'got, yeah?" chris slyly grins, teeth biting down on his bottom lip as his hand grips your thigh, tugging it over his lap for you to settle down on top of him.

you're startled by the sudden movement, grabbing his shoulders to balance yourself as you wobble slightly. he moves his hands from your thighs to fold them behind his head nonchalantly, his eyebrow raising, eyes darting between your face and his cock that's caught between your two bodies.

you chew on your bottom lip nervously, wrapping your fingers around his cock and giving him a squeeze, which earns a sharp hiss from him. you press your knees to the bed and lift yourself up so you can adjust him beneath you, and a whine leaves your lips as you lower yourself slowly on his cock, the head stretching you out familiarly.

you begin to ride him the best you can, your thighs straining with a dull ache that has you wincing, but you continue, allowing yourself to get lost in the building pleasure as chris lets out little huffs each time your pussy comes down on him, wetting his bottom lip and pulling it in-between his teeth as he watches you bounce.

"keep goin'..." chris urges you, moving his hands to adjust the cap on his head that he has yet to take off, staring up at you beneath the rim — gaze dark and hungry. "you can do it, c'mon."
