Chilchuck analysis speedrun: As a hardworking half-foot who grew up poor and discriminated against and had his gullibility taken advantage of multiple times in his early adventuring days, Chilchuck thinks optimism is a dangerous flaw. He’s stressed and strict all the time because his job is noticing details like traps that could get everyone killed before anyone knows it, he takes the lives of everyone to be on his shoulders, and with the way he speaks about it that probably partly reflects how he felt about taking it upon himself to provide for his family too. His life’s always been pretty centered around work and has become even moreso now that his wife left and everyone is independent, and due to past events he’s very iffy with bonding with coworkers. He thinks feelings and job are a disaster mix. Like with his wife or with parties hiring him as sacrifice, being open or having good faith is vulnerability which can get you hurt, so he processes and shows all his stress as anger instead of worry. Doing strict dieting probably isn’t helping the irritability what with hunger, and on top of being a hunger suppressant alcohol might be the main stress reliever he has.
His grey hairs are so earned

#Chilchuck tims#dungeon meshi#analysis#HAPPY CHILCHUCK DAY#You know what yeah understandable have a good day#Alcohol be a ticket straight to chilling out town I suppose#Spoilers#dungeon meshi manga spoilers#Thinking on if I should split my family masterpost into diff posts for max reach hmm#I’m def editing in the second page into that post that “I’ve got three people to think of here” sounds sooo much like that’s#how he’d think about it in a family setting as well. He works so hard for them 🥺#I could have put 100 pics on this post to justify everything I mentioned but this is a speedrun for a reason. I’m planning so many#compilations rn i need a break from rereading lol#He’s just here to do his work!! He just wanna do his work!!!#I’m always rotating him in my brain like rotisserie chicken :( Hopefully this doesn’t sound disjointed or insane to average readers#He’s always on his guard so he has a short fuse and his type of humor & liking for snarky remarks doesn’t help#Also bc he knows nothing lasts he has a very work hard play hard mentality where ‘dying doing something you love. Like drinking’#is nice in his opinion#This post makes it all sound so dry. Chilchuck is so messy thinking about him is thrilling I swear. This is concise but at what cost…#OH ALSO he has weird self-hate issues where he really values his skills but devalues himself on a personal level.#‘I am a coward. I only care about myself. I cheated on my wife (lying for no reason)’ etc etc#Can’t disappoint people and make them leave you if they already have no expectations and esteem of you 😏💡#Laws are important to him bc he knows how bad punishment is if you break them and how they’re the key to getting better rights

If you enjoyed Nosferatu (2024) you might want to watch the French horror social commentary fantasy drama Le Vourdalak. It also has a puppet.
You will thank me later and if you can't find it I'm more than willing to provide, god bless.
#are YOU a fan of Robert Eggers work?#do YOU enjoy experimental movies that are in black and white?#are YOU an enjoyer of puppetry and practical effects?#check out Adrien Beau's work#his two short films are on Youtube for free (La Petite Sirene 2009 - 10 minutes)#(Les Condiments Irreguliers from 2011 - 30 minutes)#both are silent movies and involve puppetry (to varying degrees). but most of all check out his latest hit Le Vourdalak#i can and i WILL provide you the file if needed you WILL watch this movie and you WILL like it#yeah the puppet cant speak move its mouth in sync for shit but other than that it fucks. costumes look like theyre from a 70s fairytale#hell yeah. fucking colours look like from a 70s fairytale. the camera looks like from a 70s fairytale. its like watching Panna A Netvor#or perhaps Mrazík but if they were about vampires. like. if you took Nosferatu and remade the movie in Panna A Netvor or Mrazík style#sorry i dont know the original title of Mrazík. thats my skill issue sorry brethren

Beyblade X Ep 34: A Rainbow Guest
GES SJACSLSVWJEVEJEVENEBB BC LABJEBWEVD KB VEJEDV WHAT IN THE OMINOUS SPINNING DRAKE IS THIS EPISODE
Okay, first off, I WAS SO DISTRAUGHT AFTER GETTING HIT WITH A FOUND FAMILY EPISODE THEN WE GET HIT WITH JAXON’S TEAMMATE, SIGRID NANAIRO AND HER REALLY BLUNT ATTITUDE TO EVERYTHING EXCEPT SUSHI. Okay I’m gonna be honest, I did get spoiled that she was Multi’s sister BUT LEGITIMATELY I’M STILL SURPRISED
She and Jaxon are similar but not at the same time??? I mean they both love Komaba Sushi (I figured ever since Memories of Sushi ep because the bigger set was given to her while Chrome was too busy focusing on Jaxon and getting fed blah blah blah and yeah) AND THEY’RE PRETTY BLUNT but Jaxon seems to prefer choose his words while she prefers to choose her actions
The way Robin went to grab the mask and practically suffocated Jaxon had me giggling, LIKE DO THEY JUST HAVE IT ON STANDBY???


Like he was so happy to see her and now he’s getting choked by his hair in the mask
Anyways when Robin was surprised she knew him I figured he’d put two and two together, since in the first ep he knew Jaxon was part of Team Pendragon and so was she? Mini plot hole I suppose
BUT YEAH I noticed throughout the episode Robin kept defending Multi from Sigrid even though he keeps getting cut off which, GAHHHHHH AND EARLIER DURING THE VOTES SHE TRIED TO COMFORT HIM they’re adorable honestly
anyways the reactions when Robin and Jaxon find out they’re sisters 😭


THIS IS THE MOST HORRIFIED EXPRESSION IVE SEEN JAXON EXPRESS IM CRYING WHY DOES HE LOOK SO MORTIFIED
and later on we get a look at baby Multi and Sigrid, WHICH OMG I WANNA DRAW MULTI WITH SHORT HAIR NOW
and…. Babadudum…. You guessed it… why I’m immediately posting my reaction to this….



We get a lovely momentary session where Chrome is slowly continuing to lose it over Jaxon in the corner of a room while Sigrid sits there like the bestie who has to hear about her friend’s relationship problems
CHROME YES I WANTED TO SEE YOU BUT NOT LIKE THIS, HAVE A DAMN SLICE OF LIFE MOMENT OR SOMETHING HELP
and thennnn some shady shit just casually breaks into Komaba Sushi and steals the bey plans Multi had. Hello, how does no one spot this THEY HAVE TWO HUGE ASS BUILDINGS SURROUNDING THEM???
#beyblade x#notkamenx thoughts#IM SORRY I SWORE A BIT IN THIS POST I JUST IM ABSOLUTELY JUST. NOT OKAY AFTER THIS???#all screenshots from Beyblade X you can see this on YouTube with weekly releases or on Disney XD I think#ANYWAYS LIKE. I. I think I said all that needed to be said#oh but the first half of the ep there was a women that look like she could be related to Titus/King#so uh yeah that’s interesting#I do not trust Packun and if he tries anything I’m ready to throw hands but the happy looking guy looks not suspicious#hopefully he doesn’t have a crappy attitude I have all eyes on this team rn#BUT YEAH SIGRID APPEARANCE IS she is so scary sometimes from our baby bird’s POV#but overall she’s just overly blunt and not too bad#the fact she said she’s not passing any message on from Jaxon to Chrome because he won’t listen 😭#I CANT GET OVER THESE THREE PANELS#CHROME PLEASE PULL IT TOGETHER JAXON’S NOT COMING BACK#YOU KNEW FROM THE START PROBABLY HE DOES SPONTANEOUS DECISIONS LIKE THIS#speaking of spontaneous decisions Jaxon said he did leave suddenly and Sigrid wasn’t mad or surprised#HOW CAN SHE FIGURE OUT JAXON AND ACCEPT HIS DECISIONS MORE QUICKLY THAN CHROME#to know that I need to know why Chrome’s so attached and obsessed with Jaxon#THIS CANNOT JUST BE OVER BEYBLADES MY MAN HAS TO HAVE AN EMOTIONAL CONNECTION OR SOMETHING#he literally landed an xtreme finish on his own copy’s bey#also this episode had me thinking of the skill gap between Pendragon and Persona#wait that’s so cool both teams names start with a P#is that intentional idk BUT ANYWAYS APART FROM JAXON this episode put into perspective how scarily strong Sigrid is and#further emphasis on Chrome’s strength#I’m not loving this PLEASE I HAD TO PAUSE THE EPISODE SO MANY TIMES DURING ROBIN’S BATFLE#anyways I was glad to see Chrome but like#man Chrome you have issues someone needs to give him a therapy appointment#this whole episode just left me distraught I ranted so much more in the post and the tags#now I wanna go sleep and hope that maybe I can cook something with this new info while I dream#I actually do have multiple fic ideas in my notes and some of them are written but eh they’re not good

oh this is gonna be one hell of a week for me...
...and it's only Tuesday x-x
Today I just caught up with WuWa's main story, after starting the game for the first time in the last week of v2.3...
but then tomorrow HSR's v3.4 comes out, with the climax (I think?) of the Amphoreus arc and huge plot stuff happening...
...but then the following day WuWa's NEXT main story update releases (jfc the previous one left on such a cliffhanger so I'm glad I only have to wait a couple days for this one T_T)
so yeah. i've got a lot of story to get through this week lmao
#honestly w/ how much I've enjoyed WuWa's entire story up to and including this point...#this is probably gonna end up being an absolute peak sandwich#delicious bottom bun WuWa Septimont story part 1#middle juicy patty HSR 3.4 story#and tasty top bun WuWa Septimont story part 2#i don't know if my tear ducts are gonna make it through this week intact comrades ;_;#anyways I'll probably make a post soon summarizing my thoughts on WuWa's story once I get through the upcoming Act VI release and also—#—Ciaccona's event story since i didn't do that before I did Act V lol#but yeah so far WuWa has been kinda fucking amazing imo#by no means is it perfect but tbh the only issue I truly have with it is some of the fan-servicey aspects of designs#and even then it's mostly a few details regarding outfits like with cantarella#but so far I'm enjoying pretty much all parts of the story and the worldbuilding and the Rover is a pretty interesting MC#the harem-y aspect of the game is a bit expected given the gacha genre but it doesn't actually feel all that forced in most cases#i feel like rover's character works best under a very particular perspective; which is basically them as a sort of benevolent deity#like if we just think of Rover as “some random person that happens to be super good at everything” then yeah it's pretty cliche tbh#but if you keep in mind that Rover is literally like... tens of thousands of years old and has likely traveled all across Solaris-3 before—#—and that they've long been an active participant in the affairs of the world and have left a mark across countless eras of history...#...then honestly their skill and their openness to helping others feels very justified#like it's very easy for me to believe the Rover is a “larger than life” figure because they truly ARE when you consider that backstory#this is why I have a very odd belief (and which is probably the worst take i'll ever have in my life)#which is that I think that the Rover is the same sort of character as Elysia from Honkai Impact 3rd#The personality is pretty different and it doesn't take much to see that tbh#But it feels like the *ESSENCE* is the same. Like Rover seems to have the same sort of “love for all the world” that defines who Elysia is#Rover's ability to adapt to so many different situations mirrors that aspect of Ely as well#Rover does it by being old and experienced while Ely achieved it by being a miraculous being at birth (and tbh Rover could be that too)#what I'm trying to say is that if Elysia was tens of thousands of years old I can totally imagine her doing the exact same thing as Rover i#basically wiping her memory and traveling across the world and slowly regaining her power and memories while forging new bonds#it's such a fascinating idea to have a character who is essentially a god-like being but who still isn't powerful enough to defy the Lament#they've likely failed countless times (i.e. like in the original disaster of the Port City of Guixu) yet they persevere#i had more to say but i've hit the tumblr post tag limit x-x so stay tuned for more of my delusional rambling folks~ <3

I remember looking up Nightcrawler fancasts a while back (this was way before the Avengers: Doomsday cast was announced) and I saw a bunch of names that I personally didn't agree with for one reason or another. Finn Wolfhard, Rami Malek, Timothee Chalamet, Mena Massoud, etc.
And then, yesterday, I rewatched the live action Aladdin for the first time since I saw it in the theater when it came out.
I think I'm starting to see ✨️the vision✨️ and I'm not complaining.
Also I searched for like an hour and couldn't find a better gif of Mena Massoud in Aladdin to illustrate my point.
Aside from the dancing that is.
#For some context#I'm not trying to hate on anyone's fancasts#I'm just saying that I personally wouldn't have picked these people (not that I actually had anyone in mind anyway)#I love Finn Wolfhard and I do think he'd look good in the makeup#but I don't think I can see him doing some of the stuff that Alan Cumming and Kodi Smit-Mcphee's takes on the character did#I've never seen Finn Wolfhard do anything where he'd need to get that physical and it's hard to imagine#The same goes for Rami Malek#I really like the guy#I just can't picture him doing this#I'm mostly indifferent to Timothee Chalamet#I don't watch a lot of stuff with him#outside of Dune I can't think of much that I've seen at all#So yeah#if you think these guys could pull off Nightcrawler good for you#I just can't picture them without seeing something somewhat similar first#It's a skill issue I know#fancasts#i'm ranting

my sibling's teacher (in high school) is using chat gpt to grade the essays on their tests and they just spent like twenty minutes trying to argue why that was a good thing i feel like im kind of losing it a bit
#boink#im not gonna be the person who says ai is evil and bad and can never be used ever#i just think that it is absolutely fucked to be a high school teacher grading tests and short answer essays with fucking chat gpt#like come on#and then theyre like oh ok but if it messes up you get to argue your answer and that helps you learn#and im like#that sounds like something you need to do in class then?#like if discussion is helpful#fucking do the discussion in class#dont do a thing that regularly puts students on the spot#especially high schoolers#where theyre accountable for catching the mistakes on their grades#like yeah mistakes are inevitable and ive caught some and pointed them out to teachers before#however that is not supposed to be the norm??#and im like maybe youre ok with that but not everyone is going to be able to do that#and my sibling is like well i think thats just a life skill to stand up for yourself#but like thats not the issue#i feel like the issue is that students especially kids when the authority figure /who knows the information/ tells them theyre wrong#theyre going to believe that#the students shouldnt be accountable for that /especially/ not as high schoolers#and my sibling is like well its an ap class so its college level and no one in the class is stupid#and i just. first of all? ap classes are nothing like any college class ive ever taken. including classes that are the exact same subject#and second. the level of the class is kind of irrelevant here? like i get the idea bc you wanna feel smart and capable in fancy smart class#but i just genuinely think that is irrelevant and kind of a condescending point to bring up#ANYWAY#idk why im getting so heated abt this :')#i was just kind of horrified#bc they were acting like it was so good. and not even that. they were acting like the people who /didnt/ like it#were stupid and way in the wrong#like i just do not agree

#I like this episode! Very good. Very b/sd.#It's just...#I just don't really like the narrative “everyone else is stupid and must be taken care of because they're too dumb to do it themselves”.#It just feels unnecessarily discriminatory.#I understand it could be what Ranpo wanted to hear in that moment‚ after a life of feeling like walking among monsters#... But to pretty much say everyone is lesser than him doesn't sound good at all tbh. And pretty anti-democratic.#Yeah I just really can't vibe with scorning and looking down upon everyone else even when it comes from a place of rightful frustration.#Sorry.#But it is very b/sd so there's that.#The fact that Ranpo is so soooo intelligent but also wasn't able to tell Fukuzawa was lying at him about his ability–#does feel a bit plot hole-y to me. Like I get Fukuzawa is very persuasive - he didn't even give Ranpo the time to get too sceptical -#And I get in a way Ranpo /wanted/ it to be true. Still it's been established soooooo much up to now that he can see through anything...#But maybe I can only complain ajsyfcsigeufleiub sorry. Again it was a very good episode and an heartwarming story#I also think the murder victim turning out to be alive is the most underwhelming result of any mystery plot but that's just me#Even then I think Tokio's character is an interesting one!! And I love theater#What else. Brilliant episode animation wise.#The black&white to colour is still probably the most witty original and beautiful thing the b/sd anime ever came up with#(Each instance of good animation makes me salty at s5ep3 but eh. Skill issue)#I love Egawa! (Is her name a play on Edogawa? The kanjis are the same 江川 / 江戸川)#To the next episode!! I can't wait to see Oda and Fukuchi 🥺🥺#random rambles#Idk I just think if someone is particularly good at something‚ whatever it is‚ they should still be humble.#Looking down on people automatically makes you look bad no matter what your abilities are.#But it's just me#Edit: “Out to keep the foolish masses safe” is such a reactionary phrase... C'mon now.........#Next thing you know they're taking away the right to vote from the people because the foolish masses are too dumb to elect 🤦♂️

Still blows my mind that Rolin and the CD and everyone got this kind of chemistry when they did chemistry reads with people thousands of miles apart. I guess the whole "let's see how they interact when they're not acting" thing really works. Or Rolin is a witch.
I would 1000000% Rolin is in communication with An Entity, tbh.
#i am only half joking haha#but yeah i think it's a cross section of a knows-what-he-wants-showrunner#a VERY skilled and connected casting director who should be recceiving a million awards#and a variety of actors who either knew and loved the source material or who really connected to it after the fact#which makes sense tbh#a lot of people bag anne out but she actually is an incredible writer#who hasn't gotten half the credit she deserves due to personal drama / niche genre / lgbt themes / feminine prose#the latter of which is a huge issue and one i run into all the time#like#y'know#i'm relatively successful and i have had A Lot of Professional Conversations about my writing being Feminine#and i am not even on the spectrum of anne's success#welcome to my ama

I am currently Going Through It trying to write a sexy times fic for a certain ship knowing full well that I'm just that rusty and not well-versed in writing those kind of stuff
#i have to do this though. no way i'm backing out now after the idea arrived to me at 3 am during my sleepless era a few days ago 😭#as for the ship. it's a wild prompt for a pretty tame ship that i recently liked... do you get why i'm about throw up trying to finish this#this is for a pokemon ship btw. you'll know for which one since it's a recent obsession of mine lmaoooo 😭🤚#anyway yeah. don't worry because this is just a mental skill issue on my part. i need to scream into the void for 5 seconds like akaashi#did in that mujinazaka match to get my mind together. trust that i'll come out to the stage like taeyang and his yeorobun speech when i do#manage to finish it. which i will in all due time. trust 👍👍👍#also wml!!!!!!!!!! i wanna finish this fic first before i move onto my hbslv stuff since i still have a mountain of ideas that i wanna write#for them too!!!! i miss them dearly but i just Have To scratch this itch first before i go back to my old love 🫡💗#personal

Man..
#sorry i'm still upset about bridal sharena. like YEAH she's an incredibly powerful incredibly useful unit#pair her up w winter edelgard and the girlies are cleaning up tt maps extremely efficiently#and YEAH. she absolutely has nice art and huge win for the power of friendship. w veronica.#but man. it's like. i can't even enjoy my time w her.#due to. extremely specific things about me that are entirely a me issue and i can acknowledge that and own that.#it would probably feel less bad if like. sharena got literally anything else. in between now and her bunny alt.#like YEAH... she is the other half of the alfonse duo. which is the cutest shit and i love them so much#idk i know it's a non-problem. it feels dumb to make it a problem.#but genuinely like. i don't like using her w the animations on i don't really like checking the home screen dialogue#it's INTERESTING. for lore/characterization purposes. it's funny and charming bc ofc it is!!!#it's sharena and veronica ofc they're gonna be funny and charming!!!!!!! they are SO endearing to me#but god. i really do just. have problems. and it feels soooooo upsetting that like#my very specific problems are preventing me from enjoying WHAT SHOULD BE. something i should really like!!!!!!!#like there are NO problems w her!!!!!!!!!!!! the problem is ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm gonna thrup#why didn't intsys consult me about this. the unemployable shut-in who runs a semi-obscure tumblr blog. in america#unbelievable..#like would i sound insane if i said marriage is like a trigger for me. like completely seriously and unironically.#like. again. it is such a non-issue. and all of it is on me to choose what i engage w that IS how managing your triggers works.#please please pleeeease don't misconstrue anything i'm saying i'm being vulnerable. rn. and petty. super fucking petty.#and obviously i can just. not use her. or use her minimally. but that's really not my point here i'm not looking for solutions#i'm just. expressing how uniquely upsetting this situation is. w how intense my askr sib interest is#w the fact that sharena IS. absolutely one of my fave charas. i adore her completely and she means so much to me#this feels like. a saw trap. made just for me.#idk again there is no solution here and i fully acknowledge this is a skill issue and realistically not even a problem.#but like. can anybody hear me. it's so dark in here.

it is like. technically possible to hurt tims feelings but you usually have to try pretty hard
#sometimes people are mean to him and he straight up does not notice#but even if he did notice he probably would not care.#some people in fandom take it too far and act like he like. never had any issues with insecurity self worth etc and thats also not true but#its one of those seemingly-but-not-actually self-contradictory things#like yeah he knows hes generally well-liked. yeah he doesnt realize his wellbeing matters to people#yeah hes confident in even arrogant about his skills. yeah hes also deeply insecure about what he can bring to the table#and all of it ebs and flows btwn character arcs or btwn writers or just bc sometimes a person is more secure than others#but really all i wanted to post about was like.#rotating the guy. putting him in a jar. etc#dc#text#the point was just that like. mostly being mean to him completely rolls off his back shrug emoji. he simply doesnt care

i have an exam tomorrow but i know my brain won't know rest until i post this. anyway i just looked up the lyrics to 超度我/set me free by floruitshow and i just. have to inflict this song onto other people it is so robits
(real quick one thing i will say is please listen to the song, i once described floruitshow as 'the perfect combination of classically trained and a little bit insane' and this song is 100% that vibe. like i cant promise you'll like it but i can promise that it probably won't sound like anything else you've heard before)
Also I'll only be translating the verses because the chorus is literally lines straight from the Diamond Sutra and explaining those is above my paygrade
(Verse 1)
来不及 There's no time left 最后一句想你来不及让你知道 No time left to say to you my last 'I miss you' 再也回不去 We can't ever return 那个有彩虹出现的下午 to that afternoon when the rainbow appeared 再也感受不到你温度 I won't ever feel your warmth again 如果你留我在梦里 If you left me in my dreams 我会放弃呼吸 I can give up my breath 请 超度我 Please, set me free
VR-LA during/after MR-SN's death?? reflecting on all the things he never got to say, all the things they never got to do because they never got enough time together, 'i can give up my breath' all that time VR-LA spent alone on that empty ship fighting the thoughts of leaving it all behind.. (yells)
(Verse 2)
对不起 I'm sorry 不经意就在你的影子里活下去 It's so easy to live on in your shadow 我不在意 But I don't mind 不过是白日梦里一瞬息 It's nothing but a moment in a daydream 为何还起念动心 Why does my heart still stir? 怪你名字太熟悉 It's all because your name is too familiar 当我是一花一叶一春木 if I pretend I were a flower, a leaf, a spring sapling 可否回到世界之初 Can I return to the beginning of it all? 请 超度我 Please, set me free
Y'all wanna talk about how VR-LA's still not over MR-SN. or how he spends s2-s3 haunted by his old crew ('live on in your shadow' owwww). 'a moment in a daydream' VR-LA seeing MR-SN in overclock... being stuck in the horrible horrible headspace of the Zuggtemoy curse and finding comfort in this snippet of the captain he can barely remember.. 'your name is too familiar' i mean just look at the wish speech! he says it better than i ever could, it's getting the old crew's names from maxim that really sets VR-LA off on this whole journey to find them because even after the everything just their names is enough for him to remember how much he loved and still loves them!! augh
(Outro)
我的执念 万千千千 My obsessions, hundreds and thousands 放不下地 放不下天 I can't let go of the earth, I can't let go of the sky 我把红线折折剪剪 I cut and fold at the red strings 落入凡间镜重圆 I fall to the mortal realm to seek reunion
Again, y'all wanna talk about how VR-LA's still not over MR-SN. but also the last two lines as being MR-SN's POV, the 'red strings' being a reference to the red strings of fate (strings that tie lovers/soulmates together... aaa), MR-SN (or well, Mystra, I guess) literally defying fate so that they can meet again. 镜重圆 here is likely referring to 破镜重圆, a phrase that directly translates to "mending a broken mirror" and basically refers to couples (generally romantic) reconciling/reuniting after a breakup/some kind of separation which... i mean yeah thats literally just 3.7 huh. MR-SN coming back from the dead to give VR-LA closure and catharsis. anyway i'm gonna go lie on the floor now
#rolling with difficulty#rwd starship#vr la rwd#im so. jahsfksjhdfkjh#my ears are kinda bad (read: auditory processing issues) so like.. for a lot of cpop songs with more poetic? fancy? lyrics#i tend to like just add them to my playlist even if i dont actually know what the lyrics are#esp since i listen to a lot of gufeng/'historical style' cpop because i like that genre's sound but the lyrics are EXTRA incomprehensible#so basically i had this song in my playlist for like.. about a year but i was never 100% on what the lyrics are#so yeah i looked up the lyrics today and uh. felt like i got hit by a train#funnily enough i now have a floruitshow song for all my robit favs! WHY DO THEY MAKE SUCH GOOD ROBIT MUSIC#set me free = VR-LA; him = MR-SN; how can i make you stay = maxim#considering im already making an animatic for him (and made a little animation snippet for how can i make you stay) its honestly like..#kinda.. tempting to just round out the trinity. like if i can make one animatic how hard can 2 more be? (famous last words)#also because like with the september patreon reward im even more convinced that how can i make you stay is just the maxim song of all time#its just that the diamod sutra chorus on this one kinda. complicates matters#and also because i saw an INCREDIBLE genshin animatic of this song on bilibili once and it HAUNTS me#i dont play genshin anymore i dont even like xiao it's just one of those things were like#the artistic merit on display is so impressive i have to respect the project on skill level alone#its *so good* like i cant fuckin. not even surpass i cant get anywhere *near* that. what the fuck??#intellectually i know thats not how art works but. hnnnGGG#its that animatic and noir (the other one)'s stultifer cantus mv thats like#on a tier list of all the animatics ive seen in my life theyre on the 'lose your fuckin mind beautiful' tier#Spotify
