the progression from "there's a morning snack and a midday snack" and "20 bucks for pizza" buck looking after his friend's kid to "bobby's famous lasagne: 6 types of cheese cooked to perfection" buck cooking for his family to "that's makes me your sous chef" teaching his kid how to cook is making me go so feral.

#going from two separate things - like how normal friends who aren't co-parenting would organised it - to the most domestic thing ever #to being the good responsible parent and making sure he eats real food before cookies #AND and the motifs that've been established: teaching to cook as father/son bonding and cooking food as a demonstration of love #im UNWELLLLL #buckley diaz family #911 abc #right from the pilot buck has had an intense care for children (but was also immature himself) #and we've seen him grow into a person who is literally becoming a father.

The mentally stable Dimitri Fire emblem 3 hopes.

It surprises me that there's still ppl claiming so, but then I remember we're talking about 3h interpretations and I have to make peace with it.

But that doesn't stop me from venting a little bit in this little space I have lol. Actually, it dries me and makes me feel bad to bring this up because I will have to talk bad about Dedue, and I don't want to talk Bad about Dedue. He's a genuinely good boy. But "Human" nonetheless, which means Flaws. I like Felix too but he's become some sort of a clown that doesn't make me feel too bad. I like Felix tho, In a different way.

Mostly talking about these two because the take that "Dimitri has better support system" baffles me because, technically, these two are his support system in HopesVerse. The persons who Dimitri relays on and seek solace/advice/support. The rest doesn't really tackle any of his personal struggles (aside from the Mage!Mitri frustrated dream, but that's out of the bad equation in our 'mentally unwell' set of pixels, and Shez only has a glimpse). Contrary, to Houses verse where the whole blue lions cast knew about his shit, didn't know what to do, but didn't leave either.

I tackled this topic with other person on Twitter who was (or still is) on board with this take and the phrase they used was They contained him better, which of course I agree and remarked that was exactly the problem. Contain him is gonna be contra productive. I used a water dam analogy, where the structure of such dam is damaged, and the pressure of water keeps accumulating. Causing a foreseeable damage for the dam itself and the surroundings. You don't need to be a genius to understand it, you need experience or knowledge for mental ill topics tho.

I really don't want to extend so much on here because it's mostly just, rant format more than a proper analysis so I just want to point out these two things in their support conversations.

First, Dedue. Encourage him to keep on the vengeful path. Which we know was the final goal of Azure Moon and if you payed attention to 3 houses message. The whole Vengeful argument was something Bad, to keep it simple. Despite Dimitri actively looking for answers/guidance for something that, in a rational state he can see clearly like vengeance will consume his life (also Shez and Felix called out this behavior). Dedue answer only encourage him to keep on that path, because he would do that 💔. Presenting 2 oposite views is a great formula for confusion and disorientation. Now, Dedue's role is primary SUPPORT, not guidance nor orientation. He will support his shit no matter what, and we are quite aware of that if played Houses.

Second, Felix. Felix is a special case. He is smart but also an idiot lacks A LOT of soft skills to actually be of help. He's the only one who knows in this verse about Dimitri having a mental issue. In their A support to say the least, so they don't close or solve anything. What makes it more worrisome is the fact that Felix conceals the issue as a secret.

"So try to keep that whole "removing their heads" thing in check, yeah? We can just call it our little secret."

this extract here makes me feel so unwell 😭help

The whole burden falls over him and his lack of skills and wisdom on the matter will be too much for him later on. He at least, will be able to recognize that the problem is beyond of his capabilities and will look for help. Felix himself has his own issues and journey where he needs to learn. He's forced to get pass beyond some of his angry teen behavior but hasn't completely get over it.

There is a lot more to tackle, but that requires more work and time. What are the topics some of you think is important to cover around understanding the Hopes verse resolution? Dimitri's route? something? Do you think the route without Byleth is better? With that being said, I would like to delve deeper into character analysis, and the role each played for the Lords too. That also requires to talk about the Byleth and needs a whole analysis on their own, which requires time (which i don't have much lol) To end this vent, I would like to encourage people to do a little research for the terminology they're using like "Support System". Who makes it up and how it operates successfully. The fact that ppl saying "he has better support system" only because he didn't go feral on the run alone is not entirely valid. A reminder that people can feel alone with or without people around them. And containing the issue within doesn't solve any problem. At best, it's presented later. At worse, it gets worse.

#dimitri alexandre blaiddyd #my lil blorbo with mental health issues #few3hopes #fire emblem warriors 3 hopes #Today I woke up and felt like venting #BUT Just to make myself clear #this has nothing to do with ships #you can ship whatever you want #You do you #Just in case someone has that feeling #This is an analysis from a mental health point of view #because it is one of the strong points of this character and with which many of us connect/relate #So I like to apply psychological and neurological (even psychiatric if necessary) perspectives #And I like to apply realistic theories to this fictional world because that is the good thing about three-dimensional characters #They feel so human that all these hypotheses can be applied #If some of you don't. That's cool too. You do you #Enjoy the game as you please lil fella #ALSO ALSO I'm taking into account what the intention of the developers was #(that would be tricky considering the inconsistency withing the developers' team >___>)

so REVENGE, HUH? or justice, if that makes you feel better. it tastes the same when cooked just right. 'I REALLY WANTED A BROTHER.' such a shame to burn a bridge you so desperately wanted to keep, especially when it wasnt even you who started the fire. especially when you hope that not a single fragment of that bridge ever washes ashore.[MAY IT ROT FAR FROM MY SIGHTS] an unfortunate loss! atleast he has his friends.

I just rewatched some of s2 again for the first time in a while and now my goldfish-brained ass is just sitting here like.

guys. did you know this is a really good show? hey fun fact, this show is really good. it’s an incredible show. if you didn’t know already, our flag means death is a masterfully written show. i can’t believe I’m watching such a good show. wow! what an amazing show? by the way this is a really good show—

#I can barely even feel mad anymore because like. this is SUCH a good show #like for what it’s worth I’ve watched 12 season shows with less character development so. #it may have had a short life but by GOD was it a full one #efficient storytelling 😩🤌 #ofmd #our flag means death

[korixae]

i want an episode of doctor who where someone important to the doctor dies and all the pain and heartbreak of all their lives piles up and they get so broken and so full of hate that this keeps happening and why can’t they just be happy and why is the universe so cruel that they turn evil and then while out and about being evil and not giving a fuck about saving people they run into the master and the master is shook that the doctor has changed bc how? that’s impossible the doctor and the master are opposing forces! it’s their whole dynamic now everything’s out of balance! and so they make it their mission to show the doctor how much good there is in the universe and the doctor is cold and harsh and vulnerable and heartbroken but the master whisks the both of them off on an adventure to demonstrate all the brilliant wonderful extraordinary happy parts of the universe but what finally gets through to the doctor is that it’s the master showing them all this. they’re so far gone that the master is trying to fix them. and they realise that the both of them have more in common than they think and that they can see it from each other’s perspectives. and then they kiss

#i’m in a thoschei kinda mood #i feel like this would be really good character development for both of them #and then they’d go through a ‘i want to be with you’ ‘but we can’t we’re too different’ kinda trope #and they’d both forever mourn the fact that if the master could just give up their evil ways they could’ve been together #and then every future master/doctor scene in the rest of the show would have loads of tension bc they love each other #idk i just want some canon thoschei #and some dark doctor #doctor who #the doctor #the master #missy dw #dw #thoschei #twissy #doctor x master #doctor who angst #the doctor x the master #upon review this might have to be a two part special idk if we can cram all that into one ep

[zakuryoishi]

it's so important to me that when in this chapter domi comes in help of dante and johann, she calls dante with his name. in the previous chapter it's shown that while she thinks that despising the sole existence of dhams is an "old-fashioned and unattractive way of thinking", noe makes her realize that she isn't completely free from the prejudice. and in this instance she's there to help them out, yes, but she actively starts to do something about the way she treats dhams and calling them by their name, just as they were another vampire or human is an extremely good start (given how almost everyone treats them, dominique is getting that character growth for sure). as soon as i noticed this detail it made me sob it's so little yet so important wahhhhh

#vanitas no carte #vnc #vnc spoilers #I NEED TO EXPLODE very good chapter dominique my savior #i love mochijun's work so much for a reason. she develops her characters so well no one does it like her

I am A SUCKER for found family. they fed me so well. #funny thing was the barok character development surprised me despite the fact that I also expected it since the first game lolol. #I do think he's an interesting character and probably one of the best character development in the game. And that I find his design cool. #oh yeah I didn't draw it but when I saw that albert mentioned that barok is “the darling of the van zieks family” I was genuinely like. #huh? wdym. like man at the time “van zieks” and “little darling” feels wrong in the same sentence. that was until I saw his pre- #-trauma pictures n well. albert isn't wrong. which was a slight surprise to me. #In conclusion: I liked it a lot. and now occupies parts of my brain along with my other brainrots. #They fight for priority in my brain whenever I try to sleep or disassociate lol.

*clears throat* The Watcher is a really good protagonist character.

Like honestly, when you think about it, it's really astounding that this series has the same blank slate character throughout the series and yet you can flesh them out thoroughly and give them an arc that effectively and dynamically arches over multiple installments. There aren't a lot of game series' out there that manage to pull this off this well

#hablaty #hell some games can't even flesh out their blank slate pc in the one game they're in #not naming names bc i could name several #tbh the one other game that comes to mind rn that attempts this #is mássz effekt but a) you don't get nearly as much variety in either character creation or conversations #and b) ...mássz effekt 2 does very little with sepörd only for mássz effekt 3 to speedrun the character development 2 skipped #so yeah ngl i feel like these games have a chokehold on me for this alone #and that is not counting the rest of the characters or the worldbuilding or the plot #these games are just so good y'all just *clenches fist* they're so good

[homestuckconfession]

the concept of the slur replacement project feels a bit like historical revisionism? especially considering how much i see people recommend it as the recommended way of reading homestuck. it's sanitizing down the more unpalatable bits of homestuck to make it seem more friendly and wholesome (which seems incredibly common among homestuck fans in general, especially among those who like to pretend the epilogues never happened, which is a whole other discussion i won't get into rn), and that just feels weird. not to mention the execution of it is very poor in general. the "future arachnids grip" joke is funny actually, and the change they made to make it "later arachnids grip" not only makes it a weaker joke (as it was initially a play on how the concept of gayness isn't really a thing to trolls), but also introduces an inconsistency in the writing, as it only does this change for vriska, drawing more attention to it. there's also a fucking... random bit where iirc for one line they replace a mention of bill cosby with... gnomeo and juliet? i think? which is not only a baffling decision that they don't, but is technically introducing an anachronism because that movie didn't come out until 2011. the writing they used to replace things in general just doesn't feel very homestuck-y, and it always feels clunky and awkward.

.

#homestuck #homestuck confession #you're right and you should say it #I like the fish puns they use to replace the slurs meenah says bc they're good puns but like #the characters gradually saying slurs less is part of their character development and removing the slurs therefore changes the characters #and late in the comic only a few characters still say them and it's part of their characterization #it's meant to tell you something about them specifically #censoring that meenah and cronus and caliborn still say slurs therefore deletes a major part of the story #was the use of slurs in the first place a good choice? maybe not #but they are ultimately just words that offend some people #I personally am not offended by fag because I am one #and hussie MADE IT PART OF THE STORY one he realized it wasn't really okay #which was a great choice honestly #he did that kind of thing a lot #removing it is like changing the beforans to all be 13 to remove the meenvris ickyness #which similarly originated as a mistake that was later worked into the story #mod commentary

This fight was a gift to me personally for making a surprisingly sweet and ridiculous fight somehow work between a half-naked comedian side character and arguably one of the most reprehensible people in jjk

#jjk spoilers #jjk 243 #kenjaku #takaba fumihiko #shout out to takaba mentioning how hot kenjaku is several times during this fight lmao #genuinely this fight was sm fun and is really interesting for both of their characters #the theme of loneliness continuing #the silly jokes while kenjaku is fighting for their life #them actually making a heart felt connection despite being a Gag character and one of the main evil villains 😭 #takaba being strict on not killing but also 100% ok with developing a partnership with kenjaku #exploring kenjakus character and motives #anyway. could go on and on it was soo good #still not happy if kenjaku is just. dead and out of the story after this since I wanted more with them and yuuji or tengen #but it sounds like this is it from the end of the chapter 😓 at least I got to watch takaba and kenjaku go on a date and then die together #choosing to believe takaba is dead unless proven otherwise since he probably thought it’d be funny to die LMAO
