[arcplaysgames]

I am a Persona 5 enthusiast above all else and a Persona 3 Portable lover directly after that, but fuck if the MC x Yosuke relationship doesn’t own my entire life

I should prob wait until I'm fully done bc I think I'm at the final dungeon now (or, there's a bonus one later i guess that's optional?) but

jesus fucking christ can i please just talk about Yosuke finally because I feel like i'm gonna explode

I don't think I see Yosuke as bisexual is the thing that I have settled on. I feel like Yosuke is a badly closeted scared shitty teenager who is simmering with so much repressed anger and resignation, he doesn't know how to adequately handle it (and frankly he's slowly getting better over the course of the game). But all of his worst moments in the story feel like he's acting from a script, namely the CompHet Script From Hell.

(Also, I would say that I think of Kanji as The Bisexual One while Yosuke is just attracted to dudes, which isn't what I anticipated from the start.)

But Yosuke mostly makes me sad. I feel like the expectations on him, the ones that he has wrapped around himself like a shield in an attempt to ward off people hurting him. Because he's so isolated and desperate for affection, he's willing to do stupid shit to get the attention he wants. All of his bad antics always feel like.... they come from less of a place of horny lust and more from a place of....... fear?

Like when he does the shit around the camping trip and his other sketchy actions, it always feels like a way to say "please be with me in this thing, this is what guys do, right?" like if he hits his mark well enough, he'll unlock some happiness he hasn't figured out yet.

but it's all so SCRIPTED! like when does Yosuke go off the deep end? when there's a script he thinks he has to hit. oh, the spring camping trip can't just be a school trip, it has to be a chance to score with the ladies. oh, you can't just want to get motorcycles and hang out with your best friend, it has to be for laaaaaadies.

but as soon as you separate him from those scripts and he goes back to being him, he's.... such a fucking decent, empathetic guy. he takes in teddie and outright fights to keep him living with him. he takes the lead in the case alongside naoto. he is the first person to rope in Nanako into the group and consistently keeps her involved. and once he gets over his homophobic panic over kanji, he keeps fukcing trying to wingman for kanji, even if kanji would prefer he didn't. and that feels genuine! kanji reacts to it like a cat in a bath, but more than once, yosuke prodding kanji for his taste in boys (and girls and naoto) feels like real interest, not a set up for a punchline. and I've remarked before that he's REALLY decent to naoto re: gender, esp in comparison to the rest of the game, which was STUNNING.

and then he's like "OH SHIT i need to be more of a Dude's Dude" and he morphs into an asshole for a day. then he snaps right back.

the out of universe explanations are clear, i'm not a dumbass. but I am choosing to kill the fucking author and examine what all this genuinely means for the character.

and the guy who attaches himself the MC's hip, and who's growth thru his bullshit is linked to the MC, and who cries around the MC and who accepts a long lingering hug and lets not forget if you roleplay wanting to date him, he's happy.

Maybe in the future this will change, but for the Yosuke of now, in the moment, it feels like his expectations of what Guys And Girls are supposed to be gets in his way of forming stronger relationships (which, again, is why the Naoto thing intrigues me). It feels like he thinks he's supposed to want to date Chie, but when he seeks out intimacy that veers into the romantic, it's not with girls.

ANYWAY I THINK YOSUKE'S GAY, but his closet is sadly made of knives, and it cuts him as he tries to keep himself contorted into the correct shape to keep hidden.

best case scenario is him hanging around the MC until he trips happily into the relationship he wants, built brick by brick until the plausible deniability is left out in the cold

worst case is he's going to get married at 20 and make some poor woman abjectly fucking miserable until they're divorced.

phew okay, all that felt like an exorcism, i feel better now

Finding hidden messages in W.BG codes

Hi everyone it’s me, Captain Numbers, back again by popular demand with more numbers. Today we’re searching for hidden messages in the numeric codes in WOE.BEGONE.

I received an anonymous* tip a little while back that there might be SECRET MESSAGES in the door codes and other numbers peppered throughout the series, and I decided to investigate. Mostly they were gibberish (or I couldn’t figure them out - codes are not really my strong suit), but three stood out to me:

Episode 46: Door code 3852911. If you convert the numbers to letters based on position on a telephone number pad, the first four numbers spell FUKC. And the last bit is 911! Might be nothing but I thought that was fun. FTP ACAB etc.

Episode 26: Door code 1943522. Same cipher, you can get 1943 LAB, which could be a reference to Los Alamos. Seems more plausible given the podcast has referenced Ars Paradoxica in the past.

Episode 53: This barely counts since the Mikes explicitly discuss this in the podcast, but the door code 0118999 is a reference to British sitcom “The I.T. Crowd”.

And finally, the moment my hard work paid off. The best secret message in the WOE.BEGONE numeric codes. In episode 49, The Princess Daffodil Experiment, the Mikes spy on an unknown individual to attempt to discover the code to his safe. They manage to catch eight digits of the code, 54556453, although they can’t be sure that’s the full safe code since they were momentarily distracted by Rubik’s Cube Bullshit. Using the telephone cipher, this code spells:

KILLMIKE

Thank you and goodnight.

*I mean, I know who it was.

AANG DESERVES BETTER

There are some incredibly stupid takes about Aang on every single social media platform but this has to take the cake. The A:tla fandom over and over again ignore every aspect of Aang's character, his arc, the culture behind Airbenders and literally the entire moral point of his character. this is another one of those incidents.

I've read this entire post and it fills me with unbridled rage. The Airbenders were not stupid, or cowards or fucking ignorant. When the news that the Fire Nation was preparing for an attack, the Airbenders were fully prepared to fight. Monk Gyatso is proof of that. They were also willing to thrust a 12-year-old into war since that’s what you people are ecstatic about.

Aang wasn't selfish, he was SCARED. This is a 12-year-old who was told that the fate of the world rested on him. He was isolated and he ran away because his one support was being taken away from him. He didn’t run away to abandon his duties.

The whole point of Aang not wanting to kill Ozai was the fact that he was the last Airbender. Airbenders value life, for them killing is the absolute last resort. His people weren't just killed, their culture, his people's knowledge, their contributions were destroyed. It was a fucking genocide.  Saying that Aang's wish to preserve his people's ideals is selfish after the sheer bullshit propaganda the fire nation was telling the entire world. The whole thing that he put the earth kingdom in danger was so entirely false. He was fucking fighting Ozai, when it was appropriate and when he was trained. It was so important for the arc and the viewers to see Aang choose the Airbenders.

It makes me fucking cry because this boy is so good and he saved the world and stupid racist idiots without an ounce of literary comprehension have destroyed his character. It genuinely makes me cry because his character was so important, and there are rarely characters who are genuinely so good.

Also every single protagonist character in A:tla also understood Aang's point. Yangchen didn't see another way, Aang found one. If he found a simple solution to defeating his people's coloniser after so much suffering it isn't a cop-out, it's karma. because only Aang could've done it you motherfuckers. what is a cop-out is the sheer refusal to even remotely put in any effort in understanding Aang because he isn't "relatable". I don't care, you don't have to relate to a character to understand their viewpoints and ideologies. If you want Aang to become relatable maybe talk to someone who's country actually got colonised or who's people faced genocide.

And I won’t even touch the LOK points because it’s blown out of fucking proportion.

Fuck you and every single person who liked this post.

TLDR – SAYING THE NON-VIOLENT APPROACH OF AIRBENDERS IS IGNORANT IS RACIST (WATCH INDIA’S INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT WHICH WAS ALL ABOUT FUKCING NON VIOLENCE) SAYING AANG WAS SELFISH FOR NOT WANTING TO KILL IS RACIST AND/OR A SIGN OF LOW EFFORT LITERACY. AND THE SHEER HUMILATION OZAI FACED FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE FOR LOSING HIS BENDING IS NOT ONLY NARRATIVELY IMMACULATE BUT ALSO FUCKING HILARIOUS BECAUSE LIKE COME ON.

#aang #avatar the last airbender #a:tla #zuko #anti aang bashing #aang protection squad #avatar aang #aang the last airbender #I'm so fucking tired at this point #colonisation nearly ruined my country #if someone told me that the efforts made by my ancestors were selfish #i would've killed them #also zuko stans need to stop this the most #zuko is an immaculate and amazing character #but not because he was a protagonist but because he had to put effort into not only proving he was good but becoming good #Aang's journey of defeating Ozai without killing him directly parallels zuko journey of defeating his teachings and leaving Ozai for Aang #just read some books watch some good tv shows #get some ounce of literary analysis that does not stem from racist roots #queue this or whatever

i'm fucking annoyed. and i hate to admit it, but i'm not entirely sure why. i'm sick of having too many belongings, half of which belong to my messy-as-shitfuck fiance. i hate living in filth. it's utter chaos. nothing looks pretty. am i being shallow or "basic" or whatever? i can't concentrate. i don't know. is it stupid for me to want to enjoy the environment in which i exist? i'm at home all goddamn day. granted, that's my own fault, but i have to push those thoughts away and push them away hard LEST my ENTIRE life crumble into atom-sized pieces in the next 2.3 seconds. ahahhhhhhh fuck me. am i right? i think i just got agitated and now i'm having trouble get un-agitated. i mean i didn't totally lose my shit. and i'm gonna give myself credit for that. MAJOR credit, because 1. i deserve it, 2. who else would give me credit…..,efnag dna gjkwn hateeeee to start with this self-depracating bullshit again as always but you know what, i'm allowed to "feEl My FeElInGs" like everyone on the planet, with or without a flawed and Defective personality. ugh. i want my therapist. i was gonna go to see my mom, but i'm sitting outside on the porch. door closed. andrew was in the hot tub and he's back inside now, i can hear him. but i hope he doesn't figure out where i am or open the door because i really just don't want to deal with it right now. i love him, obviously. my BulLlshiT doesn't change that. it's all my issues, anyway. he's a normal fukcing human. i'm fucked up. and ya know, usually that doesn't bother me. i accept it. more than accept. sometimes i enjoy being fucked up in the goddamn fucking head. because what else am i going to find joy in? ughhhhh i hate being negative (sorta). i am AMBivaLent. in all things. wait lets get back to the real issue. andrew doesn't know how to put things in a place where they belong. i want to insult him and call him a savage, but idk where that anger is coming from. it's just something i have to fcking shitfhicfhgelgad ffuck fucking deal with i guess. do i also just have to resign myself to the fact that i must exist amongst complete chaos that only exacerbates my eternal internal CHAOSFKGND:NDBSL fuking rn;gna hrefckf dhfikc

[notcatherinemorland]

cr/t ro/e thought dump for me, specifically

i can’t speak on this at all, i haven’t watched the ae/or arc/end of c2, (or any of c2 beyond like. episode 15 and those were live), i just sit in the back with the snackbowl and read fic about purple war criminals. but! won’t stop me.

just. the fucking PREMISE of a living city actively trying to kill them, followed up by the homecoming safety of a graveyard. my good god, that’s the narrative melodrama my heart yearns for, my loins gird for, etc. this is some an/gela cart/er bullshittery right here. the hostility of a city glued together by sentient flesh, the visceral discomfort of flesh and stone mashed together. chef kiss. give me that sensory uncanny. and the resting place of the campaign being a graveyard. firstly: nice. secondly, the wonderful juxtaposition of a dead city with a thriving, flourishing graveyeard covered in tea plants (and a purple war criminal digging up potatoes, digression) is again. delightful. c2′s Large Overarching Themes are obviously going to vary by milage, but what does really stand out to me is the intersection of place and action. which, lol, you can say that about fukcing anything, but the settings were just.. absolutely integral to deriving thematical bullshit to me. like interrogating said purple war criminal on a boat - establishing the m/9 as beholden to Their own moral law, not that of the societies they wander through. no laws in the middle of the ocean after all. anyway. back to evil living city.

i read this absolutely mindblowingly good fic recently (purble war criminal and sad wizard husband in a climbing gym, legitimately one of the best bits of transformative work i’ve ever read, hands fucking down)

i read this absolutely mindblowingly good fic recently (purble war criminal and sad wizard husband in a climbing gym, legitimately one of the best bits of transformative work i’ve ever read, hands fucking down) which ends with a nice metaphor about relationships being built like cities, and the ways to connect with each other are just different bits of transport infrastructure. which, and im kicking myself i forgot to put it in my effusive comment, fantastic reference to the end of c2 in the whole. u know. living city. also it was delightfully thematic for the fic itself, but thats digression. which brings me along to theresa bridgeman on time and space in the camb. companion guide to narrative because hooo boy this is DENSE and DELIGHTFUL. and she, off the back of Dannenberg, suggests that narrative can be broken into concepts of path, container and portal, and indeed plots be understood as a metaphorical network of paths, as trodden by the characters who bend time/space to their whim. tl;dr plots are cities. - unfortunately all of that comes with the caviat of being about written text and is pregamed in the essay as an extension of Genette (my current academic blorbo), or the one guy who bangs on about the physicality of the text in relation to the text itself on many a level.

which, with All Of That interred in my noggin. ae/or is really such an encapsulative metaphor for the campaign at large. despite c/r being an auditory/visual narrative, i don’t know jack about studying those so. sticking with the ill-fitting suit of this.

if we are to take aeor’s living city as half of the extended metaphor about decay and rejuvination, then as an ending for the camp. it works very nicely as an end. there seems to be a lot going on in c2 about the concept of rot - in cad just. in general, in the power structures, in the physical city - the horrible flesh bits could certainly be taken as an alien, invasive substance corroding the concrete of the city and with adverse affect to the denizens. then to bastardise my own metaphoric interpretation of bridgeman, the creation of paths through a narrative city by the characters takes on a much more literal meaning when applied to ttrpg/dnd than a fully manipulated fictional novel character. to borrow futher still from That Banging Fic, what the players are then carving from the cityscape is not just pure narrative, but the relationships between characters, which i would argue in turn is the ‘plot’ of c/r. plot, however, is best understood here as the conglomeration of bridgeman’s spilt definition of narrative - story and discourse.

if u excuse me i have to go throw bridgeman’s physical narrative metaphors at t.s. eliot’s the waste land to see if something sticks.

Wanna talk about Chris Thorndyke? Let’s mother fff*cking y’all about Chris Thorndyke

You opened this can of worms now dRINK IT

You see this boy? This itty bitty boy who’s face looks like a comfortable place for my fist?

Chris is a character from the “Anime” SonicX and I hAte his fukcing guts. Now you might be reading this and going, bubble what the fuck? You hate this itty bitty foot scrub? But he looks like a rat, I love rats!? Why do you draw yourself with his hairstyle if you hate him so much??? (First of all stfu!! I can’t believe I hurt my own feelings, damn)

LiSten

Not only does that boy have not one, not tHREE but five adult figures in his life that love and care for him! Now if that isn’t the biggest bULLSHIT YOU EVER SEEN

HIS PARENTS AINT EVEN DIVORCED, LOOK AT HIM AND HIS PARENTS

And on top of the parents he has a butler who teaches him martial arts, a cool tech wiz grandfather, a famous uncle and a maid!

My guy has he audacity to feel lonely when he always has company around who loves him, meanwhile I got left alone in a room for hours with only a couch and PBSKids for entertainment but oh sure, you don’t have enough friends, you’re lonely.

That’s mad disrespectful to your friends Frances, Danny and Helen :/

My second reason is that Chris really has no personal problems, no outstanding character arks and nothing interesting going on. He’s got the emotional depth of flour.

Chris is rich so they could’ve had something revolving him being a pretentious snob or him being entitled but they don’t. I’m a sucker for the “asshole turned into nicer asshole” trope but they didn’t even do that.

The most development he gets is how he overcame his creepy possessiveness over Sonic in the Episode 50 ark.

In this episode, the Earth fucked around and merged two dimensions which was terrible for its sense of time. Now all Mobians have to return to their dimension or they gonna fuck around and stop time forever.

Instead of letting Sonic leave and saving their worlds, Chris takes Sonics hand and books it, he said “fuck y’all and the linear flow time”

Chris has a habit of being selfish and only caring for his own wants and needs; which would be a good ark for him but not in the middle of a global crisis.

Chris is so bland he diDNT EVEN PASS THE SEXY LAMP TEST!

It’s funny to me that they stole a bunch of deep, emotional and impactful moments from good characters and gave them to Chris. They really just sprinkled him into scenes he had no business being in.

My favorite example of this is the scene with Amy and Shadow on the ARK

In the game Amy talks to Shadow, asking for his help and telling him that there is still good in this world even if people are bad sometimes. Her words help him remember the forgotten promise he made to his best friend, you know the story and it’s sweet.

In the show Shadow just beats the shit out of Chris for 3 minutes cause he can’t keep his hands to himself for five seconds (did I mention how creepy Chris can be?)

The only reason Shadow begins to reflect on his past actions is because he took one look at Chris, bruises and beaten and it triggered his traumatic memories to come back. I’m not even joking look at this shit.

As someone who suffers from PTSD, I hate this, I hate Chris. Look at this!!

You broke him even further is what you did. Look at him now he has anxiety, good job!

It wasn’t even necessary to touch Shadow to get your point across. You can even hear the panic in Shadows voice when Chris lays his hands on him (which is a symptom of PTSD)

So not only was he an unnecessary insert Chris into this plot line but he was wORST AT IT. THE BLUEPRINTS WERE THERE HOW DID YOU MESS IT UP?!

My third point is very neatly summed up in comment by redditor /sunstart2y

Chris is a fucking useless addition, an annoying fly on the wall at best and a probably a self insert from one of the writers shitty middle school Fanfiction.

Helen should’ve been the main protagonists, you can’t change my mind

on the commission

I was going to talk about it in an older post but then i realized there was just too much I wanted to talk about so here’s my thoughts

Again, SPOILERS + DISCLAIMER, CW for blood/gore and death mentions

I know the tv show is an adaptation of the comics and it should not be a word for word copy of the original comics, but basically changing the WHOLE world is something that is kinda hard to overlook. And one of the main things that was changed in the show was the commission (which is actually called the TEMPS AETRRNALIS in the comic but I am just nitpicking here idrc). As I talked about in another post, the umbrella academy show has a tendency to remove all fantastical or otherworldly aspects from the comics and replaces them with more average stuff. They decided to keep the commission tho (since it would have definitely been too hard to replace) but in doing so they transformed it into something completely different

The Handler: she is a tv show exclusive character. Never appears in the comics and no, she did not recruit Five (he was captured while he was time traveling and also for the record Five had some good times in the apocalypse) I also want to take time to point out the antisemitic traits in her character and how harmful this is (especially since she had ZERO business existing in the first place but whatever 🙄) and i am going to be VERY petty here but UGH EVERYTIME I HEARD HER SPEAK SPANISH I WAS LIKE 🤬🤬🤬 THATS NOT EVEN A REAL SAYING YOU FUKCING IDIOT JUST STOP IT!!! I SWEAR IF I HAVE TO HEAR YOUR TERRIBLE SPANISH AGAIN I WILL [REDACTED]

Carmichael/AJ: Yeah he’s the goldfish guy... im gonna be honest I did NOT like him in the show he felt too out of place and his including was too forced. In the comics you don’t really question it (there are weirder stuff than a talking goldfishh) but tuatv world is so blerg seeing Carmichael there is off putting. He doesn’t belong there and frankly his cameos was more of a "pleasing the comic fans" strategy imo (same way with the Hargreeves being an alien revelation it was more a "look!!! We read the comics too!!! We know he was an alien!!!" but at this point it felt too out of place and forced and made no sense in the plot). Also also:

See one of the main themes in tua is personal identity/humanity and it’s somethings all of the siblings struggle with throughout all three volumes, but Five's specifically is lineked directly with the commission -> they performed a surgery where they inserted the dna of the most notorious killers into him. This page in particular illustrates my point perfectly "you cut out my humanitywith a scalpel" is such a raw line and by reducing the commission to just "the bad guys" in the show takes away so much depth from Five's character. *i would like to point out the commission had nothing to do with apocalypse suite they only wanted to retrieve a rouge agent and save the world (even tho they had to kill JFK to do so). Five is an assassin, the line between human and animal is blurry (*insert parallels o Diego and Luther here*) and he’s been living for some 50+ years COMPLETELY ALONE... like that would make anyone go at least a little bit crazy. (and the whole "im sorry i gave you such a hard time as a kid" speech is BULLSHIT AND COMPLETELY OOC Five has been a little bitch his whole life

*click images to view*

DON'T try to tell me THIS MAN would ever apologize to Hargreeves, especially because he had no reason to apologize)

Hazel and Cha Cha: ok this ones are a little bit sensite and more complicated because I get why they would tone down their characters; they can be disturbing and that wouldn’t sit well with most viewers, BUT at the same time why change them completely? I loved them in the comics, they were, in their own crazy way, funny (read Hazel and Cha Cha dave Christmas and you’ll get what I mean)

Exhibit a we see Cha Cha absolutely down with becoming a scout girl just so he can get cookies:

Exhibit b: they were just these crazy assassins, absolute chaos, probably shared a single brain cell. They seriously thought the best way to kill Five was to end the world? Come on they are absolutely nuts

But the show didn’t even make them at least a little bit crazy... they didn’t even have them wear the masks :( why? And Hazel’s plot w/ agnes? Idk seemed a bit weird to me bc they try to show you he’s "good"? but at the same time he has no real problem killing/torturing other people??? To me including them in s1 was just bad writing, the writers tried to cram too much of the comics into s1 and then were left with very little to work with in s2

I like the fact that we do get to see more of the commission in the tv show compared to the comics, but just like with most aspects of the world it’s watered down, it’s too normal ig

Look at these panels from the Hazel and Cha Cha spin-off:

Look at the agents in panel 2! I mean, there’s a skull! Is that a robot?! What’s tat thing in the mask in the background?

Now look at this panel from Dallas:

They’re fighting robots! Look at how much more interesting the design for the agents are!!! There’s no uniforms, they’re (most likely) not all humanIt’s so much more interesting and weird! And in such a normal world they have in the comics the commission doesn’t sit well, and it feels so boring after reading the comics. In Number Five's own words:

this is what the commission is supposed to be, but in the tv show they’re just this bland agency that’s only there to create conflict and keep the plot going

RWBY V8E3 LiveThoughts

Its Saterday and that means its time for everyones favorite post spam; Orca-mun bullshits about RWBY! And here we go.

On a personal note I barely ate anything today so my brain is jittery. I ate something before this of course but one does not solve low-food jitters instantly. So we’ll see how this goes.

Also the more that I hear the opening for this season the more I hear things that I have had Ash say before.  “The hope to change the world is just a childish dream”. It comes off in the song as kind of a poke at Ruby and her team, same way as how V3s opening was all about loosing and falling, but here I cant help but hear it in the voice of Ash, caustic and sarcastic, angry at the world for his own issues and putting it onto the “blind, naieve Huntress’s” Ironwood now has his team focused on.

Actually again, a lot of the song is talking about stuff that is probably coming up in the show. “The path we tried to avoid is already here”. “Path home is suddenly clear”. Basically hinting RWBYs going back to Vale at some point. But we knew that already.

And again, the part with time stopping while Cinder walks among the fighting reminds me of a shittier version of the I Know You trailer for Halo Wars 2.

And now the episode actually starts. Apperently, riding the pnumatic tubes does NOT instantly kill you. Im...half dissapointed. At the same time it makes sense, they seem to be fully sealed so. 

Doesnt seem like its fun though thats for sure.

Dear Blake; please stop being adorable.

Oh, and we get to see how Penny see’s the world too. Interseting. Wireframe with data...and shes unintentionally doing the Konami Code if Im not mistaken.

Also cool to see that the active camo semblance works exactly like Halo’s active camo, ergo; its bending light, not true invisibility, since you can JUST BARELY see the shimmer where they are.

And this moment is a painting I like to call; Five Lesbians and a Robot in an Elevator. Legit shocked Atlas doesnt have elevator music...

And we finally, FINALLY get some reference on the storm. Shorter Atlas trooper sayd “they cant get too close to that storm without getting shot out of the air”.  Okay...so Salem actually has defenses against airships? Couldnt they have SHOWN THAT?

Also, props to the female VA for sounding like AN ACTUAL FUCKING SOLDIER. “CO can get us some answers”...hell yeah. And then Nora’s randomly a dick for...no reason.

Penny’s finger has a scomplink just like in Star Wars.

And they didnt think to remove Peitro’s security clerance, alright then. Someones gonna know they were there though since she used his ID...but maybe thats part of the deal. They get in and get out fast.

Central Command is so dissapointingly small. I HATE IT. ITs two rows of consoles and like...8 dudes. No, wait...three rows? For a place this big it should be six times the size and look more like NASAs mission control.

Nice to have some data on how Ruby’s semblance works though. She apperently breaks herself down to her component molecules and negates her mass and HEY thats how I said Ash moved! DAMMIT RT

Also I guess Remnant follows SOME laws of physics.

NGL Blake is suddenly being a better character now that shes not held down by Yang. Might just be me though. 

“Busy” says Ironwood. In my head, the five minutes before this shot; EXECUTIONS EXECUTIONS ALL THE EXECUTIONS. MUCH PURGING, VERY CLEAN NOW.

Oh I LIVE for the sudden look of shock on Watt’s face. Bro KNOWS what Ironwood can do. That said, obviously hes going to turn on him because...duh. Its Watts. But hey, least hes a little afraid. Unless its an act.

His acid snark against Penny is refreshing. “Magic science project” indeed.

Oh, thats why hes so worried. FOUR DUDES AIMING GUNS AT HIM. Nice. 

CALLED IT

“Authorization granted to handle any threats with lethal force”. GOOD. 

Oh no, Nora’s got an idea now. Im worried.

I get the feeling the random office geek guy that Nora trips is someone from RTs office, hence the “#1 Dad/Dud” mug. Dumb

Home made sign. Really. REALLY.  UGH GOD DAMMIT RT. 

Funny sign though.  Also the scream from the tech is so fake its not even funny

Wow. For fuck sake. Thats how they get through. Seriously.

Seems I paused at the right moment. Blake is very confused about being inside Ruby.

Nice to see that Atlas follows OSHA regulations and has railings on its weird catwalks.

Hardlight forcefield door? Interesting. I guess May went off to steal an airship or something.

Also this is something I JUST remembered but I thought Johanna was the trans member. Actually thats May. So thats my bad.

HAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT MINDJACK!

Why’re there holes on the base of Penny’s gloves...

No logiccal sense to half of Atlas’s tech, glad to see that hasnt changed any.

Blake is me when my dads working at his office and taking way to long to do anything.

Blah blah okay talk less do more shit. Character stuff BORES ME

Hm. Nora speaks the truth.

ANNNNDDD its the Ace Ops. Now lead by Hare.  ...no cuffs. No heavy equipment. No gas weaponry. Nothing. They know exactly how strong these people are and instead they show up with ALL OF THEIR OLD STUFF. Are you fucking serious.

STOP TALKING AND JUST KILL THEM ALREADY DAMMIT! Marrows comment is how I feel. But I think hes lying. As does he, I think.

I like how its Vine doing the talking, and that they start by trying to REASON with them. They’re scared. They know they might not win again.  They’re taking the cowards root. To no ones fucking shock.

UHHHGGGG all of this fukcing mind shit with Penny is really pissing me off.

Good, now the fighting starts. Thattttss why they;re on the platform.

Hey, actual teamwork out of the Aces, kinda. I guess their boss being dead helped.

Okay seriously how the HELL is she not fighting this easier? Shes a robot, surely she has predictive combat algorithms...

Man Marrows getting SHIT ON this fight.

Mmm. Hare thighs. I like

Weiss says the truth for once

And all the fancy work and fighting is ended simply by a beefy woman grabbing Penny. I like that honestly. Simplicity, brutality.

Wait never mind.

HAHAHAHAH OFF THE Wall and now she flies. No shock.

HAHAHAHAH YES

Good shit. Good work Marrow.

Well that works. JESUS FUCK Nora.

Yow they’re not DEAD. Excuse me

Oh look Nora’s...wow. Cool, scars.

Still mad Pennys swords are on wires, but hell. Wire funnels are wire funnels. Or would those be incoms? I dont quite remember the distinction.

Marrows quiet look is kinda sad. Oh good nora’s not dead.

But they are down a person and...ah. They’re letting them go. Death Star tactic.

New ship design, havent seen this one before. The whole top part opens which is interesting to me. And then she just GONE. 

Ah. So thats what they were doing. Cool.

Obviously gonna backfire, but hey, who knows. Maybe RT will surprise us.

Annnddd thats it for the show.
