man okay so I used to play mechquest and dragonfable back in like, 2008 when I was a kid with very little patience to follow a storyline. coming back as an adult and finishing mechquest has absolutely slapped me silly with how deep and serious the story is in between all the absurdist humour. I have. so many emotions over the whole storyline, and especially so many thoughts about the unique form of tragedy that is The Reset.

You save the world but it's not the world anymore. You and your friends survive but you don't know each other anymore- have nothing left of the lives you fought to keep. You 'save' everything but it's still all gone. Everything you knew and loved, gone, and you don't even know what you've lost. You can't even keep the memory of what you had- and that's almost kinder compared to being one of the 3ish people who DO remember... and have to live around everyone else who doesn't, knowing their closest friends look at them and see a stranger, and that they may as well be because they aren't that person they remember being.

And to top it all off, that terrible sacrifice doesn't even end it. you're still left fighting impossible and devastating wars over and over. It's the tragedy of doomed time loops with extra layers of devastating all over the place. The GEARS University students being forced to become soldiers because they're all that's left to protect their homeworld. The horrors of the Shadowscythe virus taking over friends and loved ones you may be forced to put down to save yourself. The town of Falconreach burning over and over because no matter how hard they fight, it's never enough. The people like Sha'rae who sacrifice themselves to try and prevent tyrrany from seizing power, only for it to be utterly useless.

Anyway the brainrot is severe and especially dangerous since I'm coming into exam season and all my hyperfixated brain wants to do is chew on glass about these games.

#late nights with ali #ali plays ae #<- tentatively establishing this tag For The Future #mechquest #dragonfable #literally forced my roommate to listen to my thoughts on the absurd clashening of humour and tragedy that is cysero last night lmfao #imagine remembering being sys-zero with all the trauma that brings but being confined in your new self by the laws of comedy #so you can never truly acknowledge it and you have to spend your days around the people you were closest to- #(minus odessa who's just. completely absent)- and never FEEL it in any meaningful way. because you're cysero now and cysero is a comedy. #also like dude is roommates with warlic. formerly the dean of GEARS and a leader figure to him. but now he's just. some guy. #what must that be like??? pretty messed up for certain!!! #anyway I'm supposed to be finishing my final biophysics assignment and all I can think about is this #so I'm taking breaks between questions to make a playlist that I may post alongside the art I did of my MQ hero at some point #pls pray for me and my grades

hi jess! as someone who has never seen a godzilla film, where would you suggest i start to get into the franchise? sorry if this question has been asked a lot, if so then feel free to use this as an excuse to gush about the franchise :3

I think there are some very good places to start with Godzilla. I’m gonna give met recommended starting points here, and then I’ll elaborate under the “view more”

So, my list of Godzilla starting points in no particular order.

Godzilla (2014) - this is a reboot and it’s the beginning of the monsterverse series

Godzilla (1984) - this is a reboot and it’s the beginning of the Hesei era Godzilla series that runs until 1995

Shin Godzilla - a stand alone movie. No sequels to prequels

Godzilla (1954) - it’s the original Godzilla story and it’s good, but I also understand that older movies can be intimidating for newer viewers

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla - Not to be confused with Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla, this millennium era Godzilla movie is part of a self contained duology that I personally really enjoy

Now, I’ll explain why I recommend these as staring points bellow:

Godzilla 2014 and Monsterverse

Godzilla (2014) is probably my favorite place to start new fans of Godzilla, even if it’s not my favorite Godzilla movie.

G2014 is the first movie in the Monsterverse series, and there are still Monsterverse projects coming out today. Godzilla X Kong the New Empire is coming soon, and Monarch season 1 is releasing right now. It’s fun to watch something and be a part of something while it’s new and coming out.

I think you will probably enjoy all of the Monsterverse movies, but pay attention to which one you like the most, because it will act as a good indicator of which Godzilla movies to watch next because the Monsterverse movies do a really good job of capturing the tone and feel of different eras of Godzilla movies. It’s like watching through a sampler platter of the entire franchise. G2014 is a beautifully shot cinematic movie that holds its own when compared to the best Godzilla films, while Godzilla King of the Monsters is an action packed monster melee reminiscent of the Hesei era films. Godzilla vs Kong is a campy monster movie that feels like the Showa era films, and Monarch is shaping up to be an introspective look at society that feels in line with the more recent Godzilla projects (shin Godzilla, Singular point, Minus 1).

The monsterverse franchise feels like a love letter to the entire Godzilla franchise, and it makes it the perfect starting point.

Godzilla 1984, and the Heisei continuity

My favorite Godzilla movies are the ones from the Heisei era. Godzilla 1984 was made as a reboot of the franchise, and it’s the start of a solid continuity that lasts until 1995s Godzilla vs Destoroyah. These movies have incredible practical effects and have aged very very well. There are tons of cool monsters and they are just fun. To me this era of Godzilla movies will always be the best, but I also understand that it’s not for everyone.

Shin Godzilla and the Reiwa era

I like Shin Godzilla a lot. It feels like a new philosophical direction for Godzilla as a franchise, while still being respectful of the series roots, but it’s also a hard movie to talk about without spoiling the film. (Don’t worry no spoilers here). Shin Godzilla and its success opened the door for some very interesting projects (like Godzilla singular point, G vs G, Godzilla Minus One and Godzilla earth). I have mixed feelings about some of the Reiwa era Godzilla projects, but I appreciate that they are taking risks with the franchise.

Godzilla 1954 the original

Obviously the original movie was going to be on this list. I think it’s a movie that everyone should see, but I actually don’t think it needs to be the first movie you see. It’s an excellent starting point but I also understand not being in the mood to watch a 70 year old movie. That being said, when you are in the mood for an older movie, you should watch it.

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and the millennium era.

After the Heisei Godzilla movies ended they rebooted the franchise again, but instead of starting a new continuity they created a series of stand alone movies that were each in their own continuities. The only exception to this is the two part story of Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, and Godzilla Tokyo SOS.

You could watch any of the movies from this era without having seen any other Godzilla films, I just happen to like Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla the best. (Godzilla 2000 is a close second).

These are in my opinion the best places to start, but In actuality you can start anywhere. Even the movies with the most continuity around them are pretty stand alone and self contained, so if none of these movies appeal to you then just find one that looks fun and start there

#ask pirateprincessjess #godzilla #I know I haven’t talked about Godzilla Minus one yet #and that’s because I have some thoughts that I need to get organized #because it was a great movie #but there’s also a big problem with it that I haven’t seen people talking about

Sometimes when I’m writing my lbl au I get nervous and self conscious about how the different Link’s are written and I’m afraid that people won’t like it, but then I remember that it’s my au and I shouldn’t care what other people think and that they can suck it

#smiles rambles #I hated that trend where people started posting and shaming other people for writing Links wrong #like it was mostly LU #but it’s mostly why I don’t enjoy LU that much anymore. it out a bad taste in my mouth #especially wild #gonna be fr with y’all I don’t care for Wild or any botwink #he was ruined for me #and it’s a shame cuz so many people are invested in lbl wild but I have nothing to say about him #which is annoying how people are especially upset about he in particular is written #cuz botwink is the most blank slate character in existence so the many versions that people write for him seem fine to me #cuz… he’s a literal blank slate #has no expression #and the small moments of where he’s cooking and whatever don’t count #he’s expressionless in cutscenes 90% #so really #I feel like Wild should be the most flexible Link to write #but he’s not #UGH sorry I get so upset thinking about this #tldr; unfortunately I do not care for Wild or any botwink #minus some botwinks that my friends have written

This might be too much, but maybe you can kind of use both Mouse and Ash, by really amping up the idea there's some behind the scene meddling. Like Mouse was supposed to be the OG lawyer, but is being mysteriously held up by something (clues hinting at some characters Ashfur works with later during the next arc)

Obviously a lot of the tension is genuine, but there could be some very bad faith players deliberately trying to increase animosity since the stakes are pretty high (Especially for thistle law leaning characters who don't want Squirrel to win)

So just a few weird mishaps that get overlooked in the chaos of the trial, only being brought to light when the imposter arc happens, being kind of a stealth set up that things are about to go very, very wrong

Too little is far, far worse than too much imo. I'm a whole-pussy kind of writer. I spell suBtlety with a capital B.

I'm leaning very strongly towards Mousefur being Ashfur's first victim, done in a fit of entitled anger because he wanted to take over the trial. But I think your suggestion of mishaps should be important too, that's a very good detail

Thoughts...

The trial was paused through some accident of one of Ashfur's cohorts. Someone broke something or called for a break.

The last person to see Mousefur was a Traditionalist, leaning on the harder side.

Mouse either goes missing just before Leafpool's Trial, or midway through.

It is NOT known that Ashfur has this terrifying ability yet, though. His cohorts simply think that Mousefur is having a hard time getting back to StarClan, not knowing that Ashfur has been messing around with the boundaries between realms too.

#Or maybe I'll make some kind of prison area they're keeping people... #Until Ashfur breaks into it I mean #I still am unsure HOW far in cahoots Ash and his conspirators are #I want to know what they're doing with starclan in asc #But im currently planning that Ashfur had conspirators who weren't found out because Ashfur went rogue #So their whole conspiracy continued minus Ash and Sky #Squirrelflight’s Horror #Better bones au

Vegetta heard that some members of the server are scared of him and he was like "Why? I'm not even a tryhard, I was the last person to get slime armor" and I'm like... Vegetta people are already scared of you, WHY would you respond to that with "But this isn't even 1% of my true power''

#i talk #qsmp talk #Vegetta be like ''This isn't even my final form'' #Vegetta be like ''well if you're going to be scared of me at least let me give you a good reason for it /pos'' lmao #It's always so baffling to me (as a KarmaIand fan) seeing how Vegetta's depicted in Fool/igetta fanworks #because the way people often depict Foolish as this incredibly powerful demigod (only sometimes incorporating his actual personality / lore #is how people depicted Vegetta (minus the ''we're disregarding his personality'' part that sometimes happens) in Karmaland #Like it's almost a perfect reverse uno in terms of how people depict Vegetta in KarmaIand vs Q.S.M.P #I'm not mad about it or anything I'm just genuinely amused by how people manage to underestimate him and STILL are afraid of him #like oh honey....... whatever Foolish's ties to immortality and godhood are pale in comparison to Vegetta's #(This is nothing against Foolish BTW his lore on the previous server was fun and I'm bitter we never got to see more of it) #(The entire death totem thing was sick and also the concept of totem gods is so interesting) #The way Vegetta is depicted in Karmaland is very strange #he seems like a being (not necessarily a god but definitely something powerful) #who made their world then stepped back so he could be a part of it #So even though he respects the guidance of elders like Merlon #(to some degree) #and talks about the ''gods'' (admins) as higher powers #the world still bows to him #and that includes the QSMP world #realistically we know this is because every single admin adores Vegetta and grew up with him #but we're looking at this through a lore lense #I can get into this more later - I feel like I should elaborate on my thoughts here and add some canon backing to explain myself a bit more #but you get the jist #Me: let's post a silly little thought about the minecraft series I'm watching #Also me: LET ME CITE MY SOURCES - #Listen man you can't unlearn some things #I'm a professional writer it's in my nature

Elrond is a sugar daddy but instead of buying pretty clothes, Legolas has had all that since they day he was born thanks, he gets Legolas the finest birkenstocks in all the lands

Elrond: I will buy you whatever you want

Legolas: I have quite literally more money than I could ever spend at my disposal

Elrond: I said what you want. Not expensive pretty things you can afford yourself. Things that your father would scream if he ever saw them in his house

Legolas already with a Birkenstock box in hand: I have never been more in love with you

#the elf talks #lotr #he also gives Legolas things they could never imagine #like open honest affection #and being told they are doing a good job #Legolas is the epitome of the rich people that come into a store looking like just some guy #you know minus the hair #… they would dye their hair and Thranduil would lose. his. mind.

ramblings on Li Ming (and Heart) and homosexuality

moonlight chicken has so many things to offer in terms of technical beauty and interesting themes but what i cannot stop thinking about is the different ways they approach homosexuality in the story.

we have Wen who has a rainbow flag on his desk and pictures of him and Alan on the wall. Wen, who openly flirts with Jim and has no qualms talking openly about his one night stand. Wen, whose step father knows about his sexuality and is close enough with him to discuss his love life.

Kaipa we don’t know too much about. But his mom knows and is supportive and some of the vendors and the chicken family seem to know. But if anyone was questioning in what reality this show is set with all the class discussion and corona featuring, his part of the story shows that homophobia exists and he is worried about how he fits in with his own family, the expectations of his mother and possible the awareness that he makes the family he has “different”.

Jim is arguably even more visibly gay than Wen in terms of what we see throughout the show. He opened the shop with his ex, they prayed at the temple together and even though he objected due to proprities sake eventually they loudly declared their love to each other and the whole neighbourhood knows. Wen somehow feels like he is living in the remnants of a bubble: his circle of friends seems very queer, his closest friend and the whole gym seem to be all part of that as well. This only might change now with him questioning his work and breaking up with Alan: some gatherings he won’t attend anymore apparently.

And finally, we have Li Ming. At school he doesn’t seem to open up to his classmates on most things and additionally is in the closet. While there wasn’t anything alluding to homophobic rethoric being spread at school we can see how the heteronormativity gets to him and feel that there must be good reason as to why no one knows. And it could just be how Li Ming is judging the situation based on vibes, we don’t know. His mother is or at least was homophobic but at the same time he is raised by his gay uncle who is surrounded by other gay people. And I love how it feels like this might have given him enough security to be comfortable with his own sexuality but how it also isn’t enough to shield him from the world at large.

With so many great shows coming out of Thailand and most of them getting more and more political it just feels so real and 2023 to me that Li Ming is part of a generation that knows who they are but still have to battle with the shadow that homophobia has cast way before they were born.

#moonlight chicken #i had this in my draft for a week now thinking if i'd get the time i could put this more leloquently but that was a lie as it turns out #might edit some stuff later #but for now i just have to write about how fantastic this show is for giving these varied realities of queer life #which are all influenced by their environment but also in the way the characters connect across generations #we don't know if him had a gay mentor who could've guided him #whereas li ming technically has him and his neighbourhood friends to reference #but li ming - understandibly so - seems more closeted than anyone else (minus Heart possigly) #in middle school everyone around me proclaimed how supportive they were of lgbt+ rights #but as soon as one guy came out he become the TALK of the school for weeks #he got reduced to his sexuality #and when he dated a girls some months after he got called attention seeking for coming out as gay before #and most people thought they were doing an open-minded thing #and despite knowing that i know that i am not the only queer kid who decided to not come out lest we'd become that talk of the whole school #and our dating lives scrutinized #even though all of us were super comfortable with who we are #and for me that was mostly the case because i had adult lesbian role models close to my family #so i knew i was good and that nothing strange was going on #but still - this othering made the school environment hostile enough to keep me in the closet #so yes - i am extremely delighted with how they depict this dynamic with li ming

#so many good films this year! #so funny that the ones that people have really strong feelings on i did not really like this year (minus skinamarink which was incredible #and still absolutely haunts me—some of the other 2023 releases were :/)

[lord-squiggletits]

Another thing that gets me about Pharma's situation is a personal headcanon related to the way real life militaries work (I used to be really into the US military, don't throw tomatoes at me I stopped wanting to join it a long time ago) is that it's considered pretty much standard protocol to retrieve the bodies of fallen soldiers unless it's absolutely impossible. A literal "nobody is left behind" attitude.

Now granted, the LL isn't really acting in a military capacity because the war is over.

But I like to imagine that part of why Pharma felt so betrayed was because standard Autobot procedure would've been for any known missing/lost soldiers to be checked for, to try and find their body to confirm their death if nothing else. But the Autobots just left Messatine and left Pharma alone without even bothering to check if he lived or died. So to Pharma, it feels as if after all his years of serving the Autobots dutifully, they couldn't even do the bare minimum duty of looking for his body to confirm his death or god forbid give him proper funeral services.

Incidentally, this headcanon will be the premise for a "Pharma gets brought onto the Lost Light as a prisoner instead of getting left on Messatine" AU fic. With the justification being that Magnus hears about the Delphi situation and is like, wait you guys just left but the Autobot Code says we have to look for the body blah blah and I guess he acts annoying enough about it that someone goes looking for Pharma's body and finds him still alive.

INCIDENTALLY-incidentally, I think the most likely canon answer for "whether Pharma fell or flew to his death" is that Pharma fell. We see on screen that the Red Rust's symptoms activate within minutes of being triggered and that it renders victims practically nonfunctional after only a short amount of time (limbs and the entire body slowly disintegrating). So if Pharma had transformed, he would've activated the rust and died very quickly, especially since he wouldn't be able to go back to Delphi and access actual medical equipment.......and had his hands cut off so he was physically incapable of tending to himself anyways.

Pharma has thrusters on his heels that probably wouldn't require transformation to activate, so my headcanon is that Pharma was able to cushion his fall enough to not die, but probably still broke his legs and was in too much pain/practically immobile and couldn't crawl to find any help. This would also align with Pharma saying that Tyrest found him "sleeping in the snow" and Tyrest calling Pharma "a disease waiting to happen", implying that Pharma was infected with the Red Rust but hadn't actually triggered its effects yet.

#squiggposting #pharma apologism #you know one time when i was a kid i jumped too high off of a ladder on the playground and hit my feet too hard #the amount of pain i felt from the impact going up my legs and into my hips was literally the most painful thing i'd felt until that point #i was like gasping and heaving and just crawled under an overhang and curled up and waited for the pain to pass #later on i learned some more facts about how people die from falling to their death #did you know that if someone lands on their feet from falling too high #their thigh bones can be thrust up into their torso and they die of internal bleeding from their bones impaling their organs #anyways. in my mind that's what happened to pharma minus him bleeding to death. lol #though since pharma describes these events so euphemistically as him 'sleeping in the snow' #one must wonder if he literally did die and tyrest somehow used the magic of luna 1 to bring him back #also idk if the nobody left behind is just a usa thing. it's probably not #i just know that it's a point of pride for the us mil as like a comaraderie thing and a bragging point

Everyone: WOW the wizards are monsters for manifesting fractals where living, feeling people suffer and die. Even if they get useful data out of it!

Me, who's been charging into fractals and massacring the locals for years now, purely because of my lust for gold

#gw2 #guild wars 2 #gw2 spoilers #SotO spoilers #moose shitposts #my hot take is that the wizards creating fractals where people suffer and die isn't that much worse than #Soo-wan creating a Tyria where people suffer and die #although the wizards only cared about their creations once they 'escaped containment' so-to-speak and became more than time-locked #mists recreations of of people and realities #so they get minus points on that #I guess my point is 'is it evil to birth someone knowing they WILL face suffering and death #this feels like a question I could throw at some wild philosophers and watch them argue

everyone who knows me knows im a horror gore graphic dark shit etc guy but sometimes i remember that one mob psycho fic that described the cat that dies in the manga mogami arc in the most gruesome graphic detail imaginable for like 3 paragraphs and its just so stupid to me. like it was so over the top it stopped being upsetting and just started being kind of annoying

like, the cat dies in the manga offscreen and then is shown in a wide shot with a little pool of blood. and then it gets back up because its the mogami arc. hell even just the implication in the anime that they'll kill the cat is upsetting enough to get the point across even if they dont go through with it. how cheap a fic writer are you that you have to describe a cat being beaten and its intestines being out and blood everywhere to express that "bullies killing a cat in front of a kid" is upsetting

does bullying and abuse have to be some needlessly graphic serial killer shit to be meaningful? god

#babbles #cat death tw #animal abuse #mp100 #i dont actually remember the fic because i tabbed out after that it was some like 2019 era generic mogami arc hurtcomfort #this mindset is why i go down swinging for anime mogami arc because the exact same themes and everything are THERE its just more compact #but people act like mob not getting stabbed and the cat not dying like. ruined it and it drives me insane #i like manga mogami arc i would not have complained at all if it were adapted 1:1 #(minus the boxcutter thing im glad that was cut it was stupid) #bUT when people make a show of comparing them... tbh i find anime mogami arc more impactful /because/ its less cruel #more mundane more real but thats a personal preference #also i just like animation lolol

this week on I DONT THINK HE WOULD FUCKING DO THAT: house ramming a car into cuddys house while she has guests

#house spoilers #house s7 #house md #WHERE THE FUCK DO WE GO FROM HERE #like unLESS the eriters are pulling another 'teehee vicadin hallucinations' on us #which je sus chri st . #HOW TF DO THEY PULL THIS SHIT BACK #we've got a whole nother season left so unless house is just one the run & wilson just joins him bc obviously hes gonna forgive him #like WH. believe me i can forgive fictional characters of A L O T but this shit just does not make any damn sense #ofc he's in a bad spot (<-UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE CENTURY) #and he already maxed out his self destruction meter for the week. like thats his one coping mechanism spent. #but to RAM his car into cuddys whole ass dining room just cause he saw her with some and so he thought shed lied to him . #bro am i insane if i say thats too much even for house.of all damn people #like if this was a SERIES finale with stronger more obvious buildup and not just like. #½ a season of cuddy and house actually happy together and then ½ a season of whoops theyll never work out i guess #and instead something like s7 minus the CAR RAMMING and s8 is just house boiling and stewing and eventually he rams his car #with intention to kill and intnetion to die #then SURE i think that would be something i could see his character becoming #but this is so damn out of the blue. #house would not do impulse attempted murder no matter how fucked up he was on rage or pain or vicadin #m #live

it is kinda weird that like I kept seeing stuff about how the cgi allowed Minus One Godzilla to be even more expressive in a way we couldn’t get with suits and like

I feel like Minus One’s was one of the least expressive Godzillas we have had

#Minus One #i fucking love the movie and the cgi usage for the healing was fucking great #But #People insisting that the cgi is so much better than some of the suit acting and animatronics is just baffling #also like get it budget suits and sets are fucking expensive #‘’Godzilla is now capable of subtle expressions’’ #No it isn’t
