Ok I know I'm heavily biased here but like I kinda love that Astarion's romance is one of the few in this type of video game where you basically end up canonically unmarried and childfree in his "good" ending? Just travelling the world??

Like it's honestly the millennial dream lmfaoo cannot believe i chose what would undoubtedly be my favorite option, first try

What is the 'captainverse' shit? I always just ignored it tbh but I have seen many incels justify shipping the canon lesbians with men because 'captain is canonically male so all valks are bi' when as far as I can tell captain is canonically not fucking real as the only captain of the hyperion ever mentioned is Himeko.

Hmmm so I'd like to avoid being overly negative. I'll answer you, but watch your tone in the future.

Captainverse was a storyline that spanned a ton of events over multiple years. It concluded last year or so with one final fluffy event after all the drama. The Captainverse storyline isn't relevant to the main story of Hi3 but happens in the Sea of Quanta, so it would be "real" in that sense.

Bronie AKA Haxxor Bunny (has an expy in Honkai Star Rail named Silver Wolf, which you may be familiar with) appears briefly in the Moon Arc, and one of Misteln's Stigmata children seemed to hail from her world. There's also suspicious wish-granting devices in the sea that may or may not link back to Sa's shenanigans, but we don't have proof of that (plus those were written long before Sa was).

The main character of the Captainverse is an ex high-ranking Schicksal captain hailing from an alternate world to the Main Story's, referred to only as... "Captain". There's also another recurring person named "Ferryman" who turned out to be a hopeless version of Captain due to some time shenanigans. He has his own Hyperion, separate from the one in canon. I think his original backstory was being sent on some mission by Otto in the Sea? He was originally designed as a self-insert but later became his own character.

Captainverse has ship tease with some girls, but there's also plenty of girls who show zero romantic interest in the Captain, so you've been told a generalization. The main "ships" with the Captain are two Theresas who aren't actually called Theresa: the vampire Luna and the immortal tactician Kongming. Captain saved their lives at great cost to himself... the fireworks...

Many of these stories are quite well-told and may bring you to tears TuT

Oh, Captainverse actually has its fair share of sapphics. If you like that, it's a shame you never gave it a chance. For example, Kasumi (amnesiac Sakura with extra steps) and a Kallen from a different world found each other in Captainverse and seem well on their way to find the happy ending they never got in the main story due to things such as "dying". Kasumi's origin story event was also a direct result of Kallen being in love with Sakura...

@sacron1143 knows the most about actual Captainverse lore, so best to ask there if you're genuinely curious. Don't bother if you're gonna be a hater though. There's also this document but I'm not sure it's fully up to date.

I hope that gave you sufficient context! That said, I think you're better off just ignoring what the people you don't agree with do for fun. Clearly, neither of you are arguing in good faith to begin with.

Mfw one of my favorite characters in a game either isn't popular and barely exists in the fandom, or everyone hates them.

Yknow I feel like Void gets villainized a lot more than he deserves. Like yeah he was kind of a dick in the first week and genuinely dangerous in the second one, but BF was also the one egging him on and then tried to do that shit again without a crowd around. Yes void is egotistical but he's sure not a bad guy. Dudes just a little mentally unwell and seems like he was doing just fine until BF started one-upping him both privately and publicly.

Which now that I think about it, wasn't BF legit trespassing on stage during one of his concerts? And then after beating him multiples times went to find him again purely for a rematch? That is so close to just insane fan behavior tbh. Most I can really fault Void for is letting BF continue to do what he was doing and not kick him out when the Accretions thought that he should. He probably knew that it wouldn't go well for him but also didn't want to stop and never know if he actually couldn't have beat him at full strength. I think at the end of the day Void is just someone who's a little egotistical and stubborn, but his breakdown was majorly influenced more by the fact that someone just kept pushing their own luck and tried to beat Void at his own game, even when it was clearly sending him into a mental breakdown.

toy soldier is like that one post about the guy in a polycule who isnt dating anyone but is just there send tweet

[carrionhearted]

I’m really struggling w seeing people who participated in the “let’s gang up on and brutally harass this guy based on an assumption, because he makes a convenient scapegoat” incident of ‘24 saying “I apologized :3 sorry I was just emotional :3 all done now :3”

Hhgghgghghgh. Apologized to who. To me? To the other random people y’all harassed off the platform? Sorry, I’m still hurt over this, I say this as nothing more than an expression of my own feelings. No animosity, I’m just struggling. Like I still have no closure on this entire thing, the most I’ve gotten is… people stopped telling me to kms? Which might mean they now understand they were mistaken? I do not know. Hsggdgs. I don’t understand how people are saying “I apologized”

I wish absolutely no hate towards anyone, that’s never a solution, I’ve always advocated that. I only hope people grow and heal from this. I just wish I had even a smidge of closure.

ffxiv garlemald discourse is so funny because people will go "ugh people just cant stand it when things aren't black and white" and then you look at how the empire are portrayed in stormblood and shadowbringers and its like hm. that seems like a pretty intense and accurate display of violent imperialism to me! Wow I wonder why people in this day and age may find it hard to feel sympathy for them or even hate them on principal. god its such a mystery.

the games like 50/50 to me on how it tackles these themes because I actually like the garlemald arc in EW, I think it has a lot of horrific and powerful scenes depicting how self destructive fascist propaganda and beliefs are, but I also think it doesn't go far enough on some fronts. the garleans' xenophobia is most notably and obstacle to getting them to accept the contingent's help, which is what they're there to do,

but there's never an admission of harm from any garleans on the uuuuuuuuh massive amount of war crimes the nations around them are still suffering from they're just kind of like "we misjudged you...but you actually wanted to help us all along" like yeah thats great now can we get you all some deprogramming because you keep talking about returning to your prime and glory days and I think we need to unpack some stuff you really SHOULDNT return to. im not even really talking about EW proper but the patches where things are a bit more chilled out and people are recovering.

It feels like they wanted to have their critique of imperialism and also have things end with the beauty of human connection and reaching out and these things just don't mesh well because hey a lot of your modern day audience is not gonna like having to treat people yelling xenophobic things at the cast and your character with kid gloves after you showed them hours and hours of the awful things these people's beliefs have done. especially in the present day hoo boy.

https://youtu.be/wXUvkBt2lSo?si=b58cnb04eWqgzQ9H here's the volo event!

i am like… really,,,,,,, i like. i needed that volo and n scene to be longer. i think n is smart enough to figure things out. the others didn’t suspect a thing other than thinking he was a little odd but like n looked like he wanted to say something more about volo’s togepi. what did she actually say. idk it is just very much interesting that like you said n never lies and he’s always really blunt and awkward but i mean like. idk. it would make sense that togepi would really love volo bc he does evolve her eventually and it would be an odd thing for n to lie about unless he didn’t want to embarrass volo but maybe like she not only said that but indicated that there’s something lowkey insane about volo lol

also the thing about him saying aaaaummmm idk if i can talk to deity pokémon or not teehee. there wasn’t like a beat or a facial expression that would indicate he was panicking and lying on the spot but it could’ve been that he clocked that something was up with that guy thanks to what togepi said and he had already made up his mind to not let too much slip. which would be an impressive poker face to keep knowing that guy cuz he’s blunt and honest by nature. but anyway one thing is for sure like you said the answer to that question should have been a definitive yes so why would he say he didn’t know 🤔

I was wrong when I said that AA-12 has the best damaged art.

I forgot how hard they went with the DEFY alt skins

[munsonfamilyband]

This started as Steddie and evolved into Spicy Six content

Steve and Eddie are stupidly protective of those around them, especially each other, and they go insane when one of the kids (and Robin and Nancy) get fucked with.

Steve is the type of bitch who carries a pocket knife at all times and always escalates the situation. Someone insults Eddie? Steve is in their face with a blade held under their chin. He uses his appearance to throw people off because no one expects him to be prone to violence. He overhears someone call Robin a dyke while they’re at one of Eddie’s shows? Steve knocks the guys drink right into his lap, gets up in his face and threatens to stab him with a piece of the glass. Max deals with it a lot, but mostly just because Steve takes people not holding the door for her on days she’s in the chair as a personal attack.

Eddie uses his appearance to boost his threatening aura. He’s less likely to get violent than Steve but will pull out a lighter to threaten people if need be. Most of the time he just goes full “scary dog” mode and he pulls out his best DM monster voice to verbal destroy someone. Robin, and less enthusiastically Nancy, use him to their benefit, dragging him with them to late night movies or to bars so that they don’t have to worry as much. Eddie will walk right behind them, hands in his pockets, just glaring at anyone who looks a little too long (it gets worse when the four of them go out because then Steve gets dragged up to walk with Robin and Nancy and Eddie starts snapping at people for looking). Max also deals with Eddie too much, but she can deal with him, because unlike Steve, Eddie just has to be pushing her around and people will hold the doors for her - though he has verbally destroyed people who have refused to do so, it just isn’t as often, or embarrassing as when Steve does it.

When the older teens go out, Steve and Eddie are always in top form, but sometimes they decide to hand over the reins a little bit and then the pure Chaos Power Team that is Nancy and Argyle step up. No one ever suspects they would be as scary as they are, with how tiny Nancy is and how chill Argyle acts. But that’s what makes them so terrifying; Nancy radiates fury (she’s a human chihuahua frfr) and when Argyle gets serious he uses his full height to loom over people.
