Laurance is an unreasonably powerful Shadow Knight. Gene says so himself, claiming he would kill Laurance but he is so powerful it would be a shame to waste that potential. Additionally, it seems the only reason Laurance is the one in charge of the Nether Rebellion is because he bested Zenix in a fight. Which is Absurd because not only has Zenix been a shadow knight MUCH longer than Laurance (all the years prior + 15 year gap), he's been a shadow knight for a larger portion of his life (implied to have been transformed as a child), AND Zenix has absorbed Several other shadow knights to increase his power, AND Laurance, once again, hasn't even completed his full transformation!!!
#aphmau#aphblr#laurance#laurance zvahl#aphverse#mcd#minecraft diaries#now I think its obvious this is somewhat unintentional#Aph forget when writing how fucking strong Zenix SHOULD be at this point#and just wanted Laurance to be a big bad (kinda)#but Gene does acknowledge his power!! (likely as an excuse for Laurance being alive tho)#idk to me its v clear this was caused by shit writing#but you could do so much more with it!!!#Laurance as a shad descendant is fascinating#Laurance as serving a greatest purpose to the shadow knight lord makes sense#he is SO powerful#its just uggffh#wasted potential </3

Anyway shout out to Dewey who constantly looked like he was having the worst time of his fucking life in the pitches
Just an 11 year old pissed off at the world it seems😭
#insane he ended up being so happy go lucky in canon#like in the art book they talk about the character shift dewey had once ben auditioned#and he made them realize they could take a more comedic approach with him#but initially dewey’s character seemed very negative and irritable#they had the label ‘the bad boy’ of the 3 on him for a bit too#bc of the massive chip on his shoulder and how unsatisfied he was at the time#and tbh you can see bits of that in the pilot#dewey’s character and overall demeanor is very different in the first two eps of s1#i LOVE my boy as the bright impulsive ball of sunshine and danger that he is#but this original pitch of him intrigues me a lot#like i can talk about pitch!dewey for hours bc#kinda feels like wasted potential idk LMAO#bc he didn’t entirely disappear at least in s1 so#just a lot of dewey thoughts#bc that’s my boy🫶#ducktales#ducktales 2017#dewey duck

Aka, eeeeh fok it. Here's some ougoku stuff I've been sitting on. Happy THOSE GUYS day.

Or should I call it 'anomaly'?#this is very much a 'ship chose me' scenario - my conflicting feelings towards it oddly became part of the appeal that I learned to embrace#it's complicated and might be due to me being prolly uncommon case of Gonta-main ougoku enjoyer and maybe also a masochist sdfdf#but I will never object to Gonta being treated kindly when it comes to fluff and 'what could've been' potential#and upsetting parts are compelling and deserve to be seen and explored for what they are- it's a waste to justify/idealise or minimize them#and boy do these guys have an emotional range I physically cannot overlook despite visceral and deeply personal pain some parts of it cause#...and also because of it#and on that note - I have some not so sweet nor cozy stuff with them as well that I might compile one day... to balance this post >:)#still tho I promise to give other gonta ships some love too. after all this is only one of my top 3

it’s kind of crazy that both fallout new Vegas and fallout 4 have the same driving force for the first half of the narrative (find the guy who wronged you and make him pay) but Benny is so much more memorable and narratively interesting than Kellogg.
It’s a matter of a strong character foil versus a weak one, in my opinion.
Benny and the courier are very much alike. They are both ambitious people who are willing to do anything possible to stack the odds in their favour. Honestly, Benny and the courier are the same card, reversed.
The Sole Survivor and Kellogg are also intended to be character foils. The game tries to convince us of this with the scenes in Kellogg’s mind, where we see that he ‘isn’t so different’ from our protagonist after all. But we don’t know anything about Kellogg other than his backstory. How can he parallel the protagonist if we don’t know which traits he has? Which traits the two of them share?
(As a side note, I wish Fallout 4 had touched way more on the ‘Man/Woman Out of Time’ thing. The protagonist being frozen in the past + Kellogg being functionally immortal would’ve been really cool to explore! Especially in the context of grief!)
In the end, I think the reason Benny is a more powerful character foil is that he doesn’t disappear from the world when you kill him. The chairmen can mourn him, House will comment on it, and even NPCs across the Mojave will talk about Benny’s death!
In Kellogg’s case, the protagonist is basically the only person who knows he even existed! Once he’s dead HE’s DEAD! He disappears completely from the narrative! As soon as you leave fort Hagen, the game doesn’t bother looking back.
that’s why Benny is a more haunting force for new Vegas; particularly an independent courier. You are Benny’s legacy because you are what he leaves behind whether he likes it or not. People remember him as the couriers victim. Meanwhile, nobody remembers Kellogg at all. The memory of who Kellogg was dies with you, and you can choose to forget him.
#i hope this makes sense#my ‘what if fo4 had interesting writing’ moment#what I would’ve wanted to see is more Kellogg&sole survivor parallels#+Kellogg to be relevant in act 2 or 3#+ MAYBE JUST MAYBE. we get the chance to spare him#it just frustrates me that fo4 has a lot of wasted potential#fo4#fallout 4#fallout#fnv#fallout new vegas#benny fnv#conrad kellogg#kellogg fo4

girl wake up im writing a no one knows au sequel
“Danny, one of these days you have to tell us what’s up,” Sam said. “You can’t stretch yourself thin like this forever. Whatever your secret life has you doing.” “I don’t have a secret life.” Which is exactly what someone who had a secret life would say, but Danny obviously evaded this with the loophole that was being dead. His secret half-life was also none of their business.
#this is very early stages dont expect me to post for a while#if you're new here the link is to the first no one knows au fic i wrote and the bit ABOVE is now from the sequel#Danny Phantom#anyway following the spirit of the original 'excuse this monster' fic this will ALSO be an AU rewrite of a DP episode. but !!#instead of my favorite episode (my brothers keeper <3<3) it will be one of my least favs#which is also like one of the most popular episodes but like we hate it here because of it's wasted potential#i know i know it's pretty funny to talk about wasted potential in the DP fandom since that extends to so much of the show BUT CONSIDER#i don't care

ballpoint splatling
#my new favourite weapon#and i mean it i mean THIS KIT the one with fizzy and inkjet#the s2 beakon kit is cool and all but that only really lets it backline; the ink storm doesn't really back up the frontline mode well#so it can't really go in and be a vdapples as easily#i hope they give BPN beakon + tacticooler in 3 because that would not ONLY help long-range mode (improved mobility; potentially making#the weapon less run speed up dependent because it can use the cooler buff instead; letting it run more stuff like thermal ink or IA)#but ALSO help short-range (literally just become a vdapples but better. use beakons aggressively instead and respawn instantly when u die)#if you only use long range mode on ballpoint you are wasting half your weapon and that's boring as hell#splatoon#splatoon 3#lowpoly#my art#3d art

the fact that we did not get Richie or Carmy calling each other cousin even ONCE in season 3 is all you really need to know. not a single instance of the word cousin even found in the present day of the entire season, The Bear showrunners when I catch you!!!!!
#The Bear#Richie Jerimovich#Carmen Berzatto#cousin!#the bear season 3#seriously-you give us this fascinating relationship fraught with tension but also full of love and history#and you waste its potential for an entire season of one long drawn-out fight?#we were robbed#simple as#watching season 2 is almost physically painful now because they are at odds often certainly but there is so much THERE#carmy answering the phone “Cousin”#richie saying (to a complete stranger!) “I'm not going to give Cousin the satisfaction of quitting early”#etc etc#i'm going to spontaneously combust!!

The Light Fury’s design obviously has a lot of flaws, but there is one issue in particular that I haven’t seen enough people talk about and it’s something that really bothers me about the Light Fury. The fact that the writers never thought about the species as a whole. Light Furies were never meant to be a new species that were exciting to learn more about. The writers only focused on one specific individual and making her “feel like a female”. Her entire species lacks any real world building. They never considered how these dragons would fit into the world of HTTYD. There’s no in-universe explanation for why they’re smooth and have fins instead of spikes, we don’t know what their life style is like or how they’re different than Night Furies (besides their appearance). There’s almost no real information on them, not in the art book, not in the movie, not in an interview. The only thing you’ll find is how the Light Fury had to be a pretty and feminine love interest. No wonder the Light Fury, and by extension her entire species, are so bland and uninteresting.
#light fury#how to train your dragon#httyd#httyd 3#httyd thw#httyd thw criticism#httyd thw salt#I’m salty again#what wasted potential#at least I have my AU

My Thoughts on the possibilities for Splatoon 4
Alright, with the Grand Festival currently going on, I thought I'd chip in with my thoughts on what the next entry in the franchise. So prepare for a decently long yap session.
So, first of all, we have that point made in the Nintendo Direct about 3 being "the finale of this Splat-tastic Saga". What I believe is meant by this is that 3 is the last game with the Squids Vs Octopus conflict as the throughline for the story. Splatoon 4 is going to shift it's focus on a different part of the lore/world and have a very different main conflict in its story mode.
A lot of people were saying its the end of Splatoon as a whole, but I find that unlikely given how successful the franchise is. I also see folks saying that the next game won't have any of the old characters, which I also think is unlikely. I feel like we'll definitely still see the Idols again, they will just be more in the background (ie. You won't have Callie and Marie as your Mission Control in Hero mode...But you might get the new idols doing that.). They could drop the New Squidbeak Splatoon (ie. the Agents), but I think they'll be refenced somewhere.
They're not gonna get rid of all the old characters. We'll probably still have Sheldon running the next hub area's Ammo Knights, for example.
I do hope they do more with Deep Cut at some point, and it would be nice to see Agent 4 again, since all of these characters were underutilised in 3 in my (and many others) opinion.
Second point, the Splatfest itself: Past v Present V Future. Since Splatoon's "present day" occurs in real time, I don't think we're gonna have a huge time skip backwards or forwards in Splatoon 4. I think like with 3, the winning team is going to determine the setting and "vibes" of the next game.
If past wins, the hub area will be a historic, traditional town, maybe it'll be set in Calamari County, from the Squid Sister's backstory? We could them see what Craig Cuttlefish gets up to in his retirement (and if he's still stuck in Squid Mode).
If present wins, I think Splatoon 4 might be set in Inkopolis or Splatsville again, but maybe for the latter things have improved a bit thanks to Deep Cut's adventures? (the story mode could play into this and give them some much needed focus).
Another possibly for present could see one of the Octarian domes as the setting if present wins, and the story is about helping the people out and making the place liveable again. This could form a very nice conclusion to DJ Octavio's character, if they want to fully commit to him being redeemed and improving things for his people.
If future wins, we might arrive in a high tech, maybe very wealthy city. This location would very likely be completely new, maybe even in a completely different part of the world. So who knows what'll happen here.
Third point: Plot foreshadowing that is in the games.
Okay, so we know that Lil Judd is likely going to be a Big Bad at some point, highly likely the next game. It's heavily implied that he's the new owner of GrizzCo Industries, taking over in Mr.Grizz's absence. I wonder how he could use the company...They did say they'd "find good use" for the 1.5 Billion Golden Eggs we stole collected during the Grand Festival Big Run.
Which you'd think is disconnected from his plans to overthrow Judd, but I'm sure Nintendo can cook up something. Even if it makes no friggin' sense for the character (side eyeing RoTM), it's at least be cool.
The Octarians seem to have made peace, Kamabo Co. dissolved with Tartar's destruction, and Mr.Grizz the Capitalist Space Bear is...Probably chilling on the moon now (although there is potential for GrizzCo to get involved, see above.). Overlorder and the Jelletons are contained to a VR game, and the former seems to be slowly rehabbed by Agent 8 kicking their ass over and over again.
The Salmonids on the other hand...
We also know that the Salmonids have been given much more importance in Splatoon 3, with Big Run and all that jazz. Our beloved Gremlin Fish are also the only big "villain" faction that still exists as of Splatoon 3. (Well, until Nintendo makes another new one.) They have, like, organisation, and ramping up their war efforts and have Full On Goddang Kaiju in their ranks. Plus the numbers done on them in the Big Runs.
Just saying, I'd be pissed too if my population was decimated because some Boneless Teenagers care more about seeing some celebrities sing songs in a desert than respecting another race of people that are different from them.
Something very Fishy will likely be going down in Splatoon 4.
Of course, at this point I also think there's a very good chance that the next Splatoon game will be a spin-off. Pretty much anything goes. A lot of people want a game about the Great Turf War. Maybe Squid Beats will become its own dedicated game (very likely a phone game.). Pretty much anything could go here.
Anyways, I might not play the game that much (and even then exclusively Salmon Run), but I'm invested enough in the world and characters to be excited about what happens next.
What do you guys think?
#splatoon#splatoon 3#splatoon grand festival#splatfest#splatoon 4#splatoon theory#grand festival#GIVE US BIG FISH LORE NINTENDO PLEEEEEEAAAAASE#splatoon salmon run#salmonids#I yapped a lot in this one#I just hope Lil Judd's story isn't as dissappointing as Grizz's was#So much wasted potential it still makes me a bit mad.#I know Nintendo the Big Corporation isn't gonna go too hard on a critique or Big Corporations storyline but I can dream.

I know there are many things contradicting this and it’s not canon at all so it’s more of an “imagine if” not a “what if” but
What/imagine if the way Solomon got his immortality wasn’t through his own cooking, but through thirteen? We know through s2 that putting even a drop of a humans candle can slow down a demons candle’s burning significantly, so why wouldn’t that work the other way round? If anything it’d make more sense.
So just think if a young thirteen accidentally spilt some of a demons candle into Solomon’s, resulting in his immortality. Perhaps because she saw him and since his soul is known to have been shiny previously, maybe she was curious about his candle? Then oops! The wax is mixed! This carelessness would give a reason for her and her older sister to get into an argument and not talk much anymore (which I’m fairly sure is canon/implied?? I swear they said this in the main story)
Also, what if it was Barbatos’ candle who was spilt into his? Or WWAIT WAIT what IF Solomon’s candle was spilt into Barbatos’, and given he’s a mortal that could’ve been a good part of his life gone now. This would endanger Solomon, giving him a reason to summon Barbatos and want to form a pact, to command him to give him it back or something
I know that doesn’t make sense, but it could (now this is getting to be a really big stretch I know) give Barbatos a reason to comply and make the pact if thirteen was the one to spill it. She could threaten to nub his candle if he didn’t pour it back into Solomon’s (maybe because she didn’t want to get into more trouble for interfering that she already would have?) and since she might have been young, she wouldn’t understand what the now-mixed wax would do to Solomon’s lifespan.
I know this doesn’t make sense I just don’t understand the lore regarding those three so I’m making something up in my mind and sharing it because what is this app for if not that
#I’m tired man idk#I had a dream a couple nights ago about me collating with Solmare and just rewriting the whole game#and making it an animated series#obviously I’m not planning on collating with Solmare but I’ve been thinking about#how i would rewrite it if i were#there was so much wasted potential for those 3 imo#anywho#obey me#obey me solmare#obey me!#obey me shall we date#obey me nightbringer#obey me barbatos#barbatos obey me#obey me solomon#solomon obey me#thirteen obey me#obey me thirteen

i know the dr2 survivors having zero chemistry couldve easily been fixed by like. If The Writers Had Taken The Time To Write The Chemistry instead of just last minute throwing in one or two lines literally at the very end. the combo of characters does have lots of potential for chemistry but also i think one thing that wouldve really helped is LETTING HIYOKO SURVIVE 😭😭😭😭😭😭 if dr2 had just had 6 survivors like dr1 their survivor dynamic during chapters 5 and 6 couldve been so much better 😭😭
hiyoko just slots with them perfectly. theyre missing the energy that she’s able to bring if that makes sense like dr1 has hina as its more upbeat survivor and v3 has himiko but dr2’s most upbeat survivor is. like. Akane. am i making sense here. and also hiyoko bonding with any of the dr2 survivors theyre the last people youd expect her to bond with and it can be representative of her character arc and i also wish theyd been able to play more with fuyuhiko’s arc spurring on hiyoko’s because they had that kinda going on too. idk i know we’ve had this conversation as a fandom already but i just get angrier every day that she didnt live. of course adding hiyoko in isnt a Fix All Solution to the issue of the survivors not having been given chemistry but it couldve elevated the dynamic a lot i think :( i wanted to see her fight with and bond with everyone
#i get that this means breaking the two victims every chapter 3 thing but is that really as important in the grand scheme of things.#also maybe they still find away to keep it. maybe mikan tried to kill hiyoko and failed but hiyoko was still hurt enough to be unconscious#the whole trial or something. like bullshitting a way for her to survive can be forgiven in this case i think.#goddd dr2’s wasted potential will never not be my roman empire. hiyoko wouldve literally been one of my favs if theyd let her live#ko’s danganronpa ramblings#danganronpa 2#hiyoko saionji
