[icewindandboringhorror]

What would you choose? :0c

(note: original image is from HERE (link) - but I edited it to add a wider variety of options.. also added $3 extra to the total, even though I know that makes it more uneven lol, I thought if you're adding 10 whole extra items, the money to spend should at least be increased slightly, if that makes sense..)

actually, that new totk masterworks thing has the potential to direct my hatred somewhat away from the game and to itself instead

i have seen some early translations and while im not putting my faith into those so far like ... how can you make totk even worse, just stop!! stop! say its an AU and leave it!! its better for everyone!!

and it seems like its trying to tape botw and totk together with retcons and conflicting info, man just leave it beeeeeeeee

(like .. aside from the very concerning timeline mess they are messing with AGAIN, the thing about totk ganondorf actually being calamity gan all of the sudden??? what?? nothign in the game suggest that they are coneccted bc the damn game acts like botw didnt happen, it does everything it can to NOT connect ganondorf to clam gan and didnt they also say in an interview that they arent related?? and now its just the other way around again?? like that is making it all WORSE!!)

Do you ever just become overwhelmingly cognizant of the existence of evil in the world?

Like, not as a cute, devil-emoji 😈 i'm-so-naughty-i-steal-chocolate-cake-and-do-weird-sex-acts thing, nor still as a melodramatic, comic-bookish, high-absorptivity-black-fabric, soon-my-death-ray-will-destroy-Metropolis thing, but like.

Actual Evil, as a force that is real and immanent in the world.

Just pointless cruelty inflicted pointlessly by one human being upon another because they've forgotten how to be kind. Just entire systems and machinery of state and ideology brought to bear on the problem of annihilating human lives and maximizing human suffering so that small men can feel powerful. Just humans who have through trauma or conditioning or propaganda shut off their ability to see other humans as fundamentally like them.

Anyways, I joke on here a lot. I get angry on here a lot. They're both just scabs to hide my horror and my despair at the condition of humanity.

Your regularly scheduled programming will return shortly.

I expected Astarion might want to talk in the morning, given the invasion of his brethren during the night, but instead, guess who has an exclamation mark over their head.

lol, oh boy, here we go.

"I've had my eye on you. Hot as brimstone, jagged as lightning - and seething like the River Styx. But there's something missing, isn't there? You're hungry for pleasures beyond this plane. Something more satisfying than mortal flesh, blood, and bone..."

lololololol

This is such a deeply stupid tack for Mizora to take on a number of levels. It's obviously (in this playthrough) an attempt to dislodge Rakha from Wyll and make Wyll miserable, but there is no way that Rakha has ever given the SLIGHTEST indication that she is dislodge-able.

Certainly not by THIS means; as I've discussed previously, Rakha has turned out to take a generally disinterested view of sex except in the context of very specific relationships, where it is more about an expression of trust and vulnerability (and shutting away the beast for a while) than really about mindless pleasure.

Mizora would have a lot more luck by simply trying to play on Rakha's general feeling that Wyll deserves better than herself. That would honestly work a lot better than this.

(I mean maybe Mizora really DOES want to climb Rakha like a tree but I sort of doubt it; there's no way this isn't rooted in manipulation.)

Anyway, needless to say, it doesn't work.

"I have no idea what you're on about," Rakha says flatly.

"I'm talking about the mundanity of a life ignorant to the thrills of the Nine Hells," Mizora purrs. "Yes... you're curious. Your eyes are lit like raging stars. You want what only I can give you. The ecstasy of agony. The pain of the damned, distilled into pure bliss, beyond every climax you've known. The little death, writ large."

Her eyes narrow conspiratorially. "Smile, and I'll come to you when you put your head down to rest. I will sate your most forbidden lusts. Or... don't, and know the eternal ache of the unknown and the unanswered."

LOL, I have VERY rarely seen Rakha look this irritated.

Obviously, she knows exactly what Mizora is offering her, and she's disgusted by the implication that she would do that to Wyll. Sadly, the conversation doesn't allow us the ability to simply punch her, which is most definitely what Rakha wants to do here. Theoretically, now that Wyll's pact is broken, she could beat the shit out of Mizora without negative consequence to him.

Instead, all she can do is a flat, "Absolutely not."

Mizora laughs. "Dear me. I've overestimated you," she says, shaking her head in mock-disappointment. "I shan't be making that mistake again. Ta-ta!"

Headcanon: Starlo does know some Japanese from being friends with Ceroba and hanging around her/being taught by her. He's definitely not as good as Ceroba is at it (and even Ceroba's Japanese isn't all that spectacular because monsterkind being trapped underground for who knows how many centuries has caused information like foreign languages to be lost to time. She's conversationally fluent). Unfortunately, Starlo understands it better than he speaks/reads it and his pronunciation leaves a lot to be desired. The best way to put it is that it sounds pretty similar to Yokohama Pidgin Japanese.

How each rescue bot would try to comfort you during a storm.

Blades: Oh wow it's really pouring out there huh? You know this reminds me of the big acid storms back on Cybertron, the streaks of lightning were so large that the whole sky would light up.

Boulder: Hey, it's gonna be ok. Remember that after a big storm, always comes a rainbow, and then I'll take you out to the park where we can see the dewdrops on the flower petals.

Chase: The rain here is quite different than the acid storms back on Cybertron. It doesn't sting and it has a fresh scent, it's also feels refreshingly vibrant and this lightning is also very ephemeral.

Heatwave: This is what is making you afraid and cowering by me? It's only a little bit of rain, there's nothing to be scared of, the lightning isn't even that loud either.

I fucking hate being traumatized because why am I bawling the hardest I've bawled in god-knows-how-long because someone I didn't even like that much berated Me. gasping wailing trembling and snotting over this for several minutes.

Also, Ruan Mei was the one who lent the Phase Flame to Ratio, wasn't she?

I'm at the conspiracy theory stage of my White Collar hyperfixation.

In the Season 3 premiere (3.01 On Guard), Neal's tie is sliced during a fencing match and he's forced to put on a new one at the WC office. He puts the new tie around his neck, but then takes a file out of the rack on his desk and moves it to a different part of the rack before starting to tie his tie. Does he have a mirror or something hidden in his file rack??? Was this established or hinted at somewhere else, either in the series or in behind the scenes content? And if there isn't a mirror, then WHY DID HE DO THAT???
