#I dunno I'm torn on it

[anotherbeastarsblog]

I just saw scott pilgrim fanart and anytime anything makes me remember Scott Pilgrim my brain goes into overdrive about how bad the movie was for the story, actually.

Great movie it deserved to be successful but hooooooooly shit they just removed like, every actual part of Scott figuring out his problems and confronting them and trying to be a better person. Scott Pilgrim is one of those top-tier "shitty dudes idolize him for entirely wrong reasons" but unlike Tyler Durden or Tony Montana or whatever it's not that the deconstruction fundamentally fails to target the object of deconstruction, it's literally just what the movie shows.

#Scott Pilgrim #He had an alcoholic phase in college and routinely rewrites his memories to make the women he fucked over the aggressors #You can kinda forgive it cause the 6th book was still being written but they cut Gideon's ex girlfriends that made the parallel like #really fucking obvious #I cannot even begin to imagine what O'Malley thought the message he was sending when he originally wanted Scott to end up back with Knives #But honestly *not* ending up with Ramona would've been a starker conclusion to his character arc #Not that it's bad as is and if Ramona leaves you run the risk of putting her in the position of a tool for a man's character arc anyway but #you know what I'm saying right? The whole 'power of love' 'power of understanding' thing? #and the movie replaces the understanding sword with a self-respect sword centering Scott EVEN MORE #Not making Ramona the crux of his development because that's not her job like #She deserves happiness to and after deconstructing the manic pixie dream girl thing she can actually have that #I dunno I'm torn on it #my bullshit #seriously though wtf was the message of the initial Knives ending supposed to be

This. This. This entire conversation with Morrigan actually makes me want to sob. She and my Tabris always becomes close friends over the course of DAO; that, paired with the fact that my Tabris always romances Alistair, makes everything about this hurt so much more when you take DAO's ending into account.

Her confusion over why my Tabris didn't send her away. Why she didn't abandon her after they learned of Flemeth's plans. Why Tabris went out of her way to slay Flemeth and bring her the true grimoire. She asks Tabris why, and is baffled when the answer is, "I did it because I'm your friend," as if it's that simple.

The way Morrigan looks at the warden, the way her voice cracks when she says, "I want you to know that while I may not always prove... worthy... of your friendship, I will always value it."

She knows how this will end; Flemeth sent her with the wardens with the end goal of stopping the blight and obtaining the old god soul through the dark ritual. Morrigan knows that Alistair and Tabris are the only Grey Wardens here, and assuming they don't find more, one of them will have to die defeating the archdemon unless they agree to do the dark ritual.

With that context, her asking Alistair, "And what if a Grey Warden has forced to choose between the Warden he loved and ending the Blight? What should his choice be?" suddenly has so much subtext weaved through the words that I'm gonna start foaming at the mouth. She's practically telling Alistair that a warden has to die. She's scrutinizing his reaction to find any hint that suggests he would agree to the dark ritual in order to save himself and the woman he loves. And when he doesn't choose, she has her answer.

Morrigan made comments to Tabris about him, almost hopeful that their relationship was just a physical thing between them and not actually riddled with feelings... and then gives disapproval when Tabris says she loves him.

She doesn't want the warden to die; hell, she doesn't want Alistair to die, either; whether because she does actually care about him or because she knows it'll break her friend's heart if she loses him, or both!

Things would be so much easier if the only two Grey Wardens left to defeat the blight didn't fall in love, wouldn't they, Morrigan?

She knows that in the end, no matter the outcome, she will lose the woman she called sister and it's devastating.

Morrigan, who has never known true friendship. Who grew up isolated in the woods with an abusive mother and terrible implications for her future. Who discovered said mother planned to take over her body just as she did with her other daughters. Who doesn't understand kindness as it was rarely given to her without a catch. Who isolates herself from the others in camp. Who finally has a companion she cares about... and in the end, if her plan works and the dark ritual is completed, she'll end up pregnant and alone and wearing Tabris' resentment like a tender wound on her heart.

Or Tabris will reject the ritual, and will die to the archdemon.

Or her lover will.

I just- the dynamic between the warden, romanced Alistair, and Morrigan is so good and painful and rich that I'm gnawing on furniture as we speak.

#dragon age origins #dao #alistair theirin #dao alistair #dao morrigan #dao tabris #warden tabris #i'm replaying dao right now in case my recent written posts haven't made that obvious #the relationship dynamics the warden has with each of the companions is so so soooo good like there isn't a companion i dislike #i play into the slow burn with alistair's romance but it's not even just the romance aspect it's also their friendship too #playing dao and not romancing alistair would feel wrong at this point for me it's so crucial to the entire story and its development #and i love morrigan's friendship with the warden and how gutted tabris is when she comes clean about everything and offers the ritual #and then bails once everything is over and tabris is torn between hating her and feeling hurt and not wanting morrigan to be alone again #i talked more in depth about morrigan and the ritual in a previous post but it's a lot... especially when it comes to the witch hunt dlc #oh and then there's the friendship between tabris and zevran like don't even get me started on that sksksks i won't be able to stop #even a character like oghren who is the last person you'd think tabris would ever become friends with since he's y'know *oghren* #but i'll go on the record and say there's more to oghren that gets overlooked and overshadowed by his glaring flaws #and i don't wanna talk about leliana... she makes me too sad like ever since my last playthrough where i accidentally triggered her romance #while i was deep in alistair's romance i have a really hard time not reading into the things she says to tabris #in my last playthrough i dunno what i did but she confessed to tabris even though she was fully aware that tabris and alistair were togethe #and it was a *mess* okay like it really felt like we killed marjolaine and leliana was in a vulnerable position yet was hardened enough #to be like 'i know she and alistair are together but i'll take my shot anyway and attempt to break them up' like.... noooooo leliana D: #and the rest of the game it felt like she was bitter and still in love with tabris and i felt *horrible* #i just said i don't wanna talk about it but hhhnnngggg i'm taking extra precautions to not have a repeat of that this time #excuse my tag ramblings i'm just very passionate about dao and the companions okay #also want to note that this is my interpretation of morrigan's motivations based on how i play the game and my warden #so others might view this reaction and the warden/romanced alistair/morrigan dynamic differently and in that case #i would be interested to hear that different interpretations because those are always fun to read

Made neopets of my OCs (and also my cat lol)!

#kilroy and trev have been around since the dawn of my acct so they're years old now! #echo is more recent- and was the recipient of a fairy fountain quest reward bc mutant acara seemed all too perfect for them #and charlie was born two days ago on grarrl day lol #trying to figure out when i can sneak him into the magma pool but when i do he's gonna be Toasty #also might make him a ruki later i dunno i'm kinda torn on that #i mean as it stands right now Charlie being able to eat every item in the game seems pretty in-character #neopets

DJ Subatomic Supernova's unused battle dialogue.

If I recall correctly, they were cut due to being too long and interrupting the flow of gameplay. Not including cutscene clips, other boss banter tends to be less than 10 seconds per clip, while all of DJ's unused clips are a minimum of 15 seconds.

#nsr #no straight roads #djss #dj subatomic supernova #thinking about modding the plushie with a voice box #i'm torn between using an unused clip #a pain sound #or just is intro #i'm also torn between modding it and not modding it to begin with #i dunno if i have it in me to buy 2 of them #they're gonna be like 28 dollars dudes #that's the usual price of a makeship plush

Ninjago tumblr gets access to polls and the tag is immediately bombed with "beat main character" or "best villain" or "best season" polls smhhhhhhh can't believe yall

Anyway, on a totally unrelated note

who do you guys think is the most deserving of a season :D

#Those options are actually all wrong #vanilla extract is the only correct answer #Jokes aside I'm torn between a Zane or Kai or Garmadon season #Because Kai's been boring as hell for a while #And Zane's last season was Rebooted #I think you could see why he needs a new season already lmao #As for Garmadon #I dunno really #I see a lot of potential in a Garmadon focused season #Mainly because Crystalized actually left him at a pretty good state #I'd love to see more of the post crystalized Garmadon #Especially if he gets a season that ends with him caring for La-Loyd #Anyway those are just my thoughts #What about yall? #ninjago #zane julien #jay walker #lloyd garmadon #cole brookstone #kai smith #nya smith #master wu #lord garmadon #It's pollin time 😎

my lleviathan mother Cas post got marked as mature it's like you can't even talk about eldritch nightmare pregnancies or vaguely yonic stomach mouths on this website anymore.

#torn between conceding because to be fair that post isn't suitable for any age group #and contesting it just to see what they do #technically speaking I'm pretty sure I didn't mention sex once #altho I did say a cuss so I dunno #Does putting rocks in your tummy mouth count as a sex act inquiring minds want to know #can you even contest these?

The one time he's actually unsure if he agrees more with Naoe or Seiroku (this feels terrible to even consider, send help).

#muse: takeda naotora. #* dash commentary. #Naoe saying Shiro's better than Seiroku and Naotora's out here w/ a strained expression like 'I dunno about That one...' #They're both godawful but Shiro's the one he hates w/ all his being so he's torn watching the dash #to be fair Seiroku is only like. 0.000000000003% better bc he also angered Naotora for what he did to Naoe #but at the end of the day Shiro's still worse in his eyes bc at least Naoe survived the ordeal unlike his family and vassals #HE'S NOT EVEN SAYING ANYTHING HE'S JUST LOOKING AT THEM LIKE HE'S DISAGREEING ASGDAJDSAHD #Naotora vc: This isn't a hill I'm willing to die on

On one hand, I like my name as is. On the other hand...

#//Torn #;mun has spoken #//Like; I'm fond of my name bc I derived it from my middle name; which I hated bc it's Gendered #//And also bc I hated my given name even MORE bc it's also Gendered #//Even if I did like the meaning lots bc it Suited me #//I made it my own and it was nice simple and cute #//But like #//I dunno #//Been vibing with a different name a bit? #//Like #//Allie is still fine and everything #//I'm v fond of it; even with the connotations I have with it #//I'm fine being called that? #//yes #//But just #//Also kinda like Nyx??? #//Maybe that should be a new middle name or smth kjdbfd #//Allie Nyx #//I like it #//Either one's fine; I think #//Idk; needed to get my thoughts out #//And sometimes feedback helps

Me: Persona 4 is my fav. It has my fav cast, my fav setting, my fav plot/story, and my fav elements! I love P4! Also me: *replays P3P/FES yet again*

#silly talks #i have probably replayed p3 more than p4 #i do not know why #actually i do emulating P3P is easier #and I love hamu as much as all of P4 #that being said I still have a lot of issues with P3 (both sides) and I really hate Yukari and Junpei (like they are up there with my hate #-my hate of P5) #but i like how fan adaptations tend to portray them (usually they'll have the char as close as they can but will not let them slide 100% #like P3 does and I don't know if ppl are aware of that or not) #i think a big reason why I replay P3 is cause.....the repetition (and hamu) #i like tartaru's dungeon for the repetition (tho I prefer the TV world design wise) #it's odd #i dunno why I wanted to post this...kinda fighting the urge to replay P3(P) again #or FES....need to download the emulator to my pc tho..... #god why couldn't p3 come first in the re-release! TT0TT it needs it sooner than the other two #also the Fools' tournament that also probs influence my nostalgia for P3 #*I don't know if ppl are aware they tweak aspects of jun/yuka when they write them or not #but yeah kinda wanna replay p3 and make a funny post #tho right now i'm replaying slime rancher TT0TT i'm torn between SR P3 and finally platting the Dark Picture games
