Persona 3 Reload is the biggest fucking letdown. I thought it was going to be including a fem MC like the portable version did, it doesn't.

You'd think that if they were able to fit all the extra changes and relationship mechanics and dialogue to the miniaturized and condensed version of the game, they would easily be able to add it to the remake. Especially given it's 2024 and it's about fucking time JRPGs let you actually play a fem MC.

No they keep using the same old fucking decades old excuse of "it's too hard to add to the game". I'm so fucking tired of that excuse. And it especially falls short when they literally had all the same fucking framework and they could have just...added it.

Like the game literally starts off by assigning a male MC to a GIRLS DORM. But you can't play a woman, or at the very least a female presenting person.

Why would they chose to do that? And then refuse to add the mechanics of playing as a girl, mechanics and script and voice acting they could've just remastered or copied directly.

No, they gave us representation with the barest bones version of the game and ripped it away for absolutely no reason when they had the chance to make a full game again.

And yes, I understand Persona 3 Portable was a remake of the original. But the point is not that they stay 100% faithful to the original. Why add that to a remake, see how beloved it was, and then remove it? Game devs continued to be terrified of tits and pussy and continue make the laziest excuses for not adding them to games.

I haven't had motivation to draw for almost two years now and am really struggling to get back into it because idk what to draw other than cringy fanart/self serving stuff because it's currently way more fun -hard to draw really emotionally deep stuff when I'm not doing as bad as I used to be-

I don't want it on my regular socials and honestly I don't want to be on regular socials anymore anyways so I was debating starting this cause I've always gravitated back to Tumblr. But, alas, never had anything worthy of posting. My best friend told me to just commit to it because it creates stable dopamine or something of the sort (I don't remember her verbatim) so regardless of how ridiculous it would still be good and she likes looking at the junk I make anyways. We're Tumblr buddies in our own corner of the world on here anyways so might as well bite the bullet.

In short this blog will be everything in my notebook. The quality stuff, the practice stuff, and most importantly the cringe stuff as I retrain my hands to make things look good.

~I do mostly traditional art because I draw as a break from looking at screens but I'd also like to work on my digital artwork cause it's always been subpar~

Lots of discussion about which bird has the most beautiful high-contrast plumage on my other post so I say we put it to a vote. Who’s your pick?

#pretty crazy that I would not vote for STK on any list they’re a part of but that speaks to the unmatched beauty of the Nazca booby #might be the prettiest bird in the world to me #birds #polls #Nazca booby #swallow-tailed kite #pied harrier #black-and-white hawk eagle #Smew #black-billed magpie

Bro my auditory processing disorder having ass can’t really handle Magnus Protocol without transcripts and it’s a little frustrating. Like I don’t hold anything against the show or sound design it’s just less clear in the new format for me specifically.

Just a gentle reminder that when people send you hate mail for supporting Palestine and condemning Israel for its war crimes - just mark them as spam, block them, don’t reply or give them energy. Let them waste their breath and time and energy being filled with hate towards people in pain. Then post twice as many resource posts, and donation links, and messages of hope and endurance of the People of Palestine and Gaza.

MAG 3 - 'Across The Street' - Unspoken commitments and their undoing.

This statement is one that very effectively displays much of the awkwardness of the unspoken commitments we share with friends, acquaintances, the natural rules of society; and of course in true Magnus archives nature, what happens when supernatural forces interfere with these things.

Amy and Graham's relationship is certainly a common one; I'm pretty sure any of us could name plenty of people we know well enough to wave to but wouldn't particularly want to have an in depth conversation with. It's natural, not every pair of people will get along famously, but the interesting thing with this is how strong the unspoken commitments we make are, even in these distant half-friendships.

Having lived in London my whole life I can only comment in depth upon these odd commitments I've experienced here- I couldn't claim to speak for other cultures or individuals.

British Middle class society generally is, as is wonderfully presented in the episode, painfully polite. Not every relationship is polite, of course, but once the expectation is established (as it nearly always is in a mature academic setting) it must be followed. I've known many people to be completely cut out of groups for not being polite enough, and I can't say I was eager to get them back. Once you break that mask of decency it's nobody's job to uphold it, and you'll often lose the courtesy yourself.

In this same vein, it makes complete and utter sense for Graham to agree to look after Amy, however begrudgingly, after her accident. It's a societal expectation, and in most cases a personal one. This opens up the discussion of how much of society is a pantomimed act instead of an effort to feel comfortable in the world, but I fear that's too deep a topic to completely explore in a text post.

Needless to say, to make these obligated situations more comfortable, one must employ their humanity. Graham makes an effort, sharing his life, his interests, and he offers up perhaps more than he'd have liked to. It does seem to comfort Amy to some extent, but of course, someone suffering a head injury is not in any way obligated to reciprocate.

It is interesting though, that Graham should be the one to lose his humanity when he displays it so strongly. Amy crosses boundaries and tears away from what would generally be considered basic human decency by so recklessly spying on Graham; and in the end it is Graham who has his humanity so harshly torn away.

Balance is restored though of course. Witnessing a thing like this instills that bone deep fear that those otherworldly powers so desire, and what is more human than intense fear?

The stranger is clever in its game with Amy, not only does it force her to come to terms with her friend no longer being human for all intents and purposes, but it also forces her to confront how she's changed, how far removed her daily sessions of watching Graham were from her, or who she once was.

Whoever was there that was pretending Graham was wrong, and what better time is there to see that when maybe you yourself have become wrong too.

#This is like‚ three different things rolled into one but I'm very sleep deprived and my unspoken commitment is to this series of posts #So enjoy! As previously stated this does not speak for everyone! Also for my posterity I am NOT middle class I'm firmly working class. #But as you may be able to tell I love psychology and that places you into some pretty middle class places #Anyways I digress‚ I actually really love this episode and I could talk about it for hours but this covers some of it! #tma #the magnus archives #the magnus institute #jonathan sims #not!them #tma the stranger #tma analysis #Mag 3 #tma season 1 #Magpies-analysis

A Terrible Troupe

I finished the design I was drawing on stream - this will be one of my new postcard designs to put with store orders! I had so much fun drawing this as I just did it on a whim to be able to stream something, and I think this allowed the raw dynamic of my D&D OCs personalities to come through haha.

Hey! I'm curious, pls indulge me: which book or fic that you've read in 2023 has made the most impression and why? x

Thank you so much for asking, Magpie! I never finished answering the mid-year book questionnaire so I'll ramble a little more here. I've been trying to find my way back to fiction reading this year, with mixed results -- I struggle to find the time and the focus.

The book I've thought of the most this year has to be A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland. The characters are lovable, the world-building is rich and smoothly integrated, and I loved the way the plot clicked together. Plus a fantastic representation of anxiety, unlike anything I've read in trad publishing before. I've actually already reread it this year, which is unusual for me. (Also, the audiobook narrator is a wonderful reader)

The last book that really moved me on an emotional level was one I finished right at the end of last year, The Mercies, by Kiran Millwood Hargrave. The world is so lush, and the characters' struggle is so thoughtfully composed.

And one that moved me because I was so frustrated about how the story unfolded is a newer book I'm anxious to put a name to here 😅
