giving the people what they want (jokes about spreadsheets)

anyway, Twst continues to prove that it is aimed at me specifically by giving us not one, but now TWO extended scenes of characters being incredibly difficult about signing an NDA. you just don't get this anywhere else.

Shitpost Status 2: Nerd Emoji

More stuff about me except this time it's MOVIES AND SHOWS I LIKE YIPPEE Not only do I like every single adaptation of All Quiet, but I Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooove every frickin movie out there of Godzilla, I not only LOVE every Godzilla movie but OWN every Godzilla movie. I also own plentiful amounts of Godzilla merchandise, aswell as video games and even signed/autographed prints. Uhhh I used to be pretty big into The Office (Both the UK and US versions) but that's sort of worn down by now, still like it though. Favourite characters are Dwight, Jim, Gareth, and Andy. I'm a Warrior Cats enjoyer yes I know cringe but like no because Warrior Cats gotta be my fave book series in all of existence and what's not to love about kewl emo cats!?!?! That being said this is pretty useless but I REALLY like cats like I'm a cat person to the point where it should be a mental illness because I LOVE CATS and without cats I would die and I would not want to exist in a world without cats (I own 4 cats) and my favourite breed is the hairless cat because PINK ALIEN CAT BINGUS All Quiet obsessor but hey that's obvious!!! One of these days I'll get Felix to notice me smh Similar to Warrior Cats, I like Lackadaisy too, the pilot was AMAZING and I've read the entire webcomic thoroughly and I can say it is very much worth the read!! As a history geek, too, it's very intriguing with all the accuracies to the 20's!! I sooooorta like Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel?? It's pretty on/off tbh. Last couple of episodes have been great, I love the unique demon species and designs, I just hate the fandom, and the creator has a lot of drama around her, so I'm iffy. 90 Day Fiancee binge-watcher. Absolutely HILARIOUS drama on there. Y'all know Big Ed? C'mon, you gotta know Big Ed. White Chicks is my comfort movie and Idk why but it's great it's awesome and it's mildly offensive but it's funny I don't know how to explain it without seeming... controversial.

I love HTTYD. Except for the new one. Guilty Team America enjoyer. Guilty Goodboys enjoyer. Guilty Mallrats enjoyer. Guilty Jay and Silent Bob enjoyer. Guilty Yogahosers enjoyer. Guilty Jojo Rabbit enjoyer. I LOVE ZOOLANDER!!! BIG Comfort movie. I like dinosaurs teehee Jurassic World/Park lover teehee

I like Marvel n the MCU too (Hawkeye the best frfr) A really disturbing trippy movie I LOVED that is based on a real dude and a real story is Fear & Loathing: Las Vegas Also I dabble in horror movies a bit, E.G Clockwork Orange, The Mist, IT, Scream, Halloween, Terrifier.. I watched Boy in the Striped Pajamas.......... traumatizing experience... do not recommend for the light-hearted.... or anyone, for that matter. okay this is becoming too long now so Imma say this as my final message I LOVE 70's/80's/90's SHOWS!!! Like Soap, Fantasy Island, Red Dwarf (THE BEST.), The Waltons, Frasier, Cheerz aaand it's not an older show but it's based IN those times, The Goldbergs. THINGY: I am PRAYING. TO. GOD. That Felix or SOMEBODY will let us know if he's gonna be in another movie soon because I NEED TO KNOW AND I NEED TO SEE IT GRGRGRGRGRGGRYREHHAJNDAKJMDKJ Okay thats it bye might make more of these idk ily all no homo

It pays not to be a gamer because any time someone complains about Arcane being attached to a video game and it means nothing to me. This is a show about cycles of violence and contains quantities of cool ladies and narrative symmetry that I could only dream. Look at it.

No one can make me learn anything. I could not be made to care about League of Legends before and I am thriving knowing even less about it now. I am eating story with both hands while ignorance cradles me in a gentle embrace.

I am so sorry, apparently it’s 2024 and I’m arguing about dragon age again lmao. How did I get here! Why is this happening!! Time is a flat circle!!!

Anyway. People can feel how they want about the past games not mattering in this game. If you’re cool with it, I’m happy for you. But there’s one particular argument in defence of this choice that is really, really bothering me and I have to rant

The thing I keep seeing is “well all this other stuff has nothing to do with the main plot or Rook, so it should be cut” and that’s. Not a good way to tell stories in my opinion. Because here’s the thing: it’s not about the Big Overall Plot. It’s about the characters that live in this world, big and small

I’m going to use the example of Varric and Hawke cause I think it’s the easiest to explain quickly. Varric is a storyteller. That’s the defining trait of his character. He tells stories, and sometimes they’re true and sometimes they’re not and sometimes it’s something in between. In DA2 he tells you about his brother. In inquisition, he talks about hawke and there’s banter about several of the companions. Most of these are just little one liners that don’t “serve the overall plot” but they serve Varric’s character

And that matters

So if we take this character known for telling stories about people that have been in his life, well, he largely can’t do that now. How can he talk about Hawke, someone who can be a very close friend of his, without even their gender being a choice you can select? Or whether Varric should be saying ‘is’ or ‘was’ about them? How can he talk about the companions in DA2 or inquisition when a lot of them don’t have to be recruited or can die? Will he limit himself to only characters that are guaranteed to be a part of it and alive? Or is it that he and Rook will have such a shallow relationship that Varric, of all characters, never talks about his life and past exploits?

Or has Varric as a character changed so much that he doesn’t even want to tell stories anymore? That Hawke living or dying means nothing to him? That the friendships he built with people in 2 games mean nothing to him? That he’s become literally unrecognizable?

This is where the problem is. Sure, Rook maybe doesn’t care about these people they’ve never met. But do they care about Varric? What about if a companion mentions an old friend of theirs, talks about an experience they had that made them who they are - is that only okay if that experience isn’t from a previous game? Or are all the characters so flat that we never learn anything about their connections to others outside of Rook? Is this story SO focused on this player character and this plot that NOTHING else matters, even within the world, and there’s no depth to be found in any of the characters that feature in it?

Writing characters so that they only ever talk about things that “directly serve the plot” is how you get flat, unremarkable, boring, forgettable characters. And that’s not something I would have accused bioware of doing even if some instalments are stronger in this area than others. But it sounds like that’s what they’re doing here, at least with the past characters. Cause sure, maybe Morrigan is so closed off she’ll never mention her son and partner. That’s believable, even if iffy given that they’ve said she’s going to be more involved than we think. But Varric? VARRIC??? Never mentioning ANY of the people he used to spend time with and care about except Solas and maybe some of the inquisition characters that can’t die or not be recruited but also carefully skirting around what happened to them in the game? That’s literally not the same character

And I would expand this to like. A letter mentioning this or a codex mentioning that, or ambient dialogue about so and so - that makes the world feel deep and those random, unimportant NPCs feel richer by connecting them to the larger world. It’s not about “serving the plot”, it’s about making your world and characters deep enough that they feel real, lived in, and like something we can actually care about

can you explain why knives needed vash for his plan? is vash's power giving plants life?

So from what I gather, Vash is unique in his ability to both give and take from the higher dimension, which is the place where all plants get their energy from, and that's what humans use them for. (This is also where Conrad says their souls are instead of their bodies (possible bullshit, given the unreliable narrators we have), and also given Vash's conversation with Rem in episode 12 it's possibly connected to the afterlife???) Or, at the very least, Vash is different from most other plants, as they can only take. His power has been compared to something black hole-like, but I won't bore you with quantum physics since we don't know exactly what they mean by that yet, exactly.

In order to access and enter the higher dimension to rip souls free and shove them into the plants' bodies to birth independent plants, Knives needed to use Vash as a gate, as a tool, to open Vash up and let himself in so he could funnel that power out through Vash.

At least, that's just what I've gathered from watching Tristamp... way too many times and reading meta as I go. I'm probably a bit off in this explanation, so anyone feel free to add on anything I missed! I think we're going to get way more in-depth in the following season/s with the plot threads left hanging after episode twelve. Hopefully this makes sense! :'D

I love Tumblr because sometimes you check the trending page and you see Avatar The Last Airbender trending for no reason at all. Tumblr just knows that it's a masterpiece and appreciates it even after all these years. I love this stupid website
