#***TYPE IT ALL DOWN FUCK

[sir-bertrandbell]

something I wish Mass Effect made a bit more clear is exactly how new humans are to everything !! like you have all these other people looking down on humans or acting with animosity, and humans often responding in kind—but the galactic community has known about humans for twenty six years

twenty six!!

with how long-lived other peoples are in ME, and how far back their history goes…that’s hardly anything. for a human that’s a quarter of a life; half a lifetime for a salarian; asari and krogan that’s barely the blink of an eye.

first contact war? twenty six years ago. discovery of mass effect technology? thirty five years ago. it’s all astonishingly recent and, while the information is hiding there in the codex, it’s not made obvious in gameplay. but it really changes the context of most of Shepard’s interactions, when you lay it all out.

#mass effect #mass effect replay #yes i’m back on my bullshit #also shepard is 29 in me1 what the fuck #what the fuuuuuuuck #I’m typing this on mobile in a car so I have more thoughts I just haven’t put them all down

stede 2.0 embraces this side of himself more and finds a healthier approach to wreaking and experiencing havoc that doesn't include traumatising and endangering himself that s1 stede didn't fully have yet

I mean look at him. this man is ready to become completely unhinged.

#queer pirate show #like s1 stede treated the typical pirate-y danger like a tourist and foolishly assumed it's enough to be fascinated with it all #the whole ''how violent do we expect this to get'' vs ''write that down!'' #which is what ultimately left him stabbed repeatedly and traumatized to an extent #but stede 2.0 knows how to harness this absolute maniac inside of him #and combine his ''do no harm'' philosophy with his ''do some harm to those deserving 😈'' instinct #like he'll raid your ship and be completely cordial about it #but if he knows you're an asshole he might set your ship on fire afterwards. on purpose :) #he'll tip his hat to your wife as he takes your most prized possessions #but will also throw you overboard if he finds out you abused her #and not like a robin hood type or anything #this man is 100% a little insane about it #ed: you're fucking insane #stede: awww thanks 🥰💖 #like he takes those as compliments!! this man is a menace!! #stede bonnet 2.0 #<- @rovermcfly's tags

A (likely unintentional) cool detail I absolutely adore in fanart of c!Q during Nevadas- specifically early Nevadas/Peak spiral is how red it is. Not just cuz of the pleasant aesthetic but because that is not his color, Quackity is more associated with pleasant navy blues or bright sunny yellows... but you don't see that in Nevadas-centric fanart... it's red- it's wrong- it's not him, well not who he used to be- and God that is just so symbolically perfect! The fact that the red is usually only present as an accent to more neutral beige and brown tones is also just so *mwah*! Like both in how the red stands out even more against those more muted colors but even so it still only accessories- something that isn't truly a part of the original outfit but chosen to enhance it- to create a solid 'impression' against to those more vague neutral tones. Or in the way his sleeves gradually get stained more and more red and it just cannot be washed out, even now there's stains that can't be erased...

Red is not his color... it's a color associated with someone else... a ghost that haunts him in more ways then one and God is that just the cherry on top!

#quackity #dream smp #the someone else is c!Schlatt btw #c!Quackity #now I'll be honest... I'm not the biggest fan of fanart that swings too far in making him look super fucking evil... but sometimes #it really slaps #I've yet to really sit down and draw out my design but like #my idea for my c!Q design is early nevadas design just gradually loses all blue bits #the the 'height' of the spiral there is no more blue and the iconic beanie is abandoned #and then post ln 4 sees the blue return but... not as much or as vibrant as before #maybe one day I'll draw it out (dont count on it though-) #also the accessories bit augh I don't know how to word it but like... #it plays into the 'masking' element of trying to make himself look more dangerous and his desire to be taken more seriously #by emulating the actions of those who hurt him- like- #it's an accessory- a tie he chose- does that make sense (its late when im typing this) #forgive my for being a pretentious english student for a moment here but like... I just think it's cool to view it as symbolic of that #I just... god even after all this time... c!Q is my most blorbo of all time <3 #and jesus I fucking miss him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know i shit on itachi a lot(and it is deserved) but the real reason i do that is if i think about itachi and sasuke for too long i go insane. dont look at me dont touch me . delete all record of naruto from existence i cant handle it .thinking about sasuke after obito reveals the truth behind the massacre makes me SICKKK.

#like. #your brother ruined your life. your brother loves you. your brother did every despicable thing he did just to protect you. bcos he loves u. #he killed your parents. you killed him. he loves you. you love him. you hate him. you are his killer and you killed him for no reason. #you killed him because he killed your clan but you killed him for no reason. you and him and your entire dead clan are nothing but pawns to #konoha. you are pawns and he killed your clan to protect you and he loves you and you killed him and you hate him and you love him . #who even are you without your brother? your entire life has been defined by his presence and now in his absence you have to figure out who #you are and right now it seems like youve consistently been one thing all your life: a pawn. #GOD IM SICK IM INSANE I NEED TO LIE DOWN FUCK THIS. #rono.txt #i typed out an entire rant in my discord server w my friends and no one is gonna read it but i need to scream AUGHGHGJFKS SASUKE AND ITACHI

i need there to be a derogatory term for people who don't have asthma. like "get a load of this fucking airsucker. he got functioning lungs and everything wahoo"

#asthma #?? #text post #all yall airsuckers can suck my dick since you have the ability to get enough air into your lungs to make that possible instead of #a risk to your health #you know what tumblr #no #i should be allowed to make my tags as many characters as I want because Ive been on this fucking website for like 65 years and i am worthy #of special treatment #motherfucker it happened again #see because i can type all i want to and i don't get out of breath but my lungs don't work so i can't talk for too long or else i wheeze #other people can just /walk/ down hallways and here i am struggling while sitting on the couch smh

if i had a nickel for every time drunk sports fans assimilated me into their group and offered me free alcohol while i was getting a train then i would have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

#first it was the rugby fans on that one train when i got hammered with them by accident and stood on a chair #now the footie lads have joined in #i was literally waiting for my train bc loads had been cancelled thanks to this fucking storm #just minding my business in bham new street my beloved #and this group of five??? six??? lads completely legless at 11am come sit on the row of chairs i was on #and they just had a CRATE of stellas skjhfkjh and were handing them out to anyone #and bless the one right next to me was proper young (i found out hes only 15 and also the most civilised of the lot) #so he got all nervous like but he offered me one all the same #and like the grown up i am i said NO!!! but only bc if i'd said yes they NEVER wouldve fucked off #and for some reason they took that as invitation to just SWARM me like they all moved so they were gathered around where i was sat #and the older ones who were my age were doing the MOST to try and get my snapchat #and i was just shutting them down left right and centre #fairs to them they didnt give up #one guy tried to impress me by showing a scar he had from a fucking stab wound??? and they say romance is dead #and then this random irish lad heard them singing football chants and he came over and joined in jdkhgkjh #AND HE ALSO HAD A STABBING SCAR AND THEY COMPARED THEM ?????? it felt like a fever dream #they were just chanting and drinking and flirting with me and i was just sat there like... i just want to go home... #they were sound though #there's two types of footie fans and these were the harmless ones and they were free entertainment while i waited for the train lmao #they kept trying to get me to go pub i was like mate do you know how trains work it is not going to wait for me #such an odd experience i rate it though

[autosadist]

really wish i could be seen as a man by the world without having to take hormones or get top surgery or have a penis

#i mean ive wanted a penis i just like...phalloplasty wont cut it #im really more mad that i feel like my vagina silently disqualified me even when i was a binary trans guy or w/e #i go into these spaces with gay cis men where every single accepted body type is unattainable for me - even fat ones #and when cis guys in general tried to be inclusive or whatever with me itd be like...yeah youre a man but cock is the default #feeling like an afterthought and somewhere between invisible and not good enough #vent #personal #etc #also please fuck off with all of the nice queer affirmations for once okay. i know that having breasts etc doesnt make me any less like #a guy when its time for that? #but so many people talk big and act like theyre down and then #idk most people will never treat me like they truly believe im a guy lol #even the way i type makes men in games go 'you sound like a female' #i just want to be seen as just as man as anyone else and be treated accordingly #idk just rambles :S

I’m playing DA Inquisition and people keep asking my character how he feels about other people/past events but unlike Witcher 3 it’s so hard to look up how tf I think I’d feel about them the wiki is a cauldron of text and nightmares idk how I feel about King Sundown the 18th ma’am I don’t even know who that is why is there no ‘who??’ button I should get to play the most confused PC on the planet if I want.

#I know almost nothing about DA or DAI so that’s fun. so far the dwarf (Vargas?? I’m so awful at names) is the most valid perosn I’ve met. do #not care for the church people.

it would be so cool to not walk around convinced that i am slowly dy*ng of some rare unknown disease exhibited by the precise combination of minor health issues i have been experiencing lately. really nice

[chipper-smol]

So one thing thats always bugged (heh) me and a lot of other people in the HK fandom is how Ghost and Hollow (and all of the vessels) are the same age yet Ghost looks like a babie and Hollow looks like an adult

here’s my small 2 cent theory why that might be based off of some magic from an entirely different story

Spoilers for Eragon

one of the first books that I ever read was Eragon, which if you haven’t read it is a young adult book where a teenager named Eragon finds a dragon egg and then sets off into the world with a babie blue dragon (and with his dad that he didn’t know was his dad) to kill the tyrant king who has his own big badass black dragon.

One of the characters that Eragon meets is Murtagh who ends up getting kidnapped in the second book, Eldest, and then turned into a weapon by the tyrant king because one of the dragon eggs that the king has hatches for Murtagh (the egg won’t hatch if its rider isn’t near)

What ends up happening is that in Eragon and Murtagh’s reunion they have an aerial battle that Eragon wins because Saphira (Eragon’s dragon) is much older than Thorn (Murtagh’s dragon)

but in their second battle, Thorn is unusally larger. Almost Saphira’s size and large for a dragon his age. This is because the tyrant king enhanced Thorn’s growth via magic and thus making Thorn and Murtagh a threat much faster

TL;DR: Tyrant king made rival dragon grow faster through magic so that the protagonist would be foiled

SO IN A ROUNDABOUT WAY

what im saying is that PK could’ve enhanced and sped up Hollow’s growth through spells and magic to make them a more resilient and viable vessel even though they are the same age as Ghost.

#G muses #ramble bambles #did i need to type all of that down #no #but im not in college anymore and fuck writing proper essays #we get unfiltered brain junk on this blog #i need to reread those books

[major-victory]

I am really, really loving Our Flag Means Death. But also, I feel like it's important to take a moment and remember why stories and other forms of entertainment exist.

This is a story for queer men and queer masc people. There's a lot of intersectionality, and there lessons and messages and feel good feelings for other people in there too, but at its core this is a love story for and about queer men. And that's great!! I love that!!

But what that means is that this story is not going to be (at least so it seems) focused on women. This is most likely not going to be a story for or about queer women + femmes. This story does not need to include amazing, strong, cool female characters. It is not inherently a story for women any more than it is a story for straight people.

Because it's a story for queer men.

Granted, saying it is for men doesn't give a free pass to the creators to just write women terribly and make them out to be 1 dimensional and fake and awful all the time. But also... they haven't done that? The women they have included have been great, real, women who majorly impact the characters they interact with.

Mary struggles with her own problems and reacted to them the best she could and she didnt succeed in saving her marriage. Spanish Jackie is badass and brutal and intelligent and also not needlessly cruel. Nana is kind and firm and motivating and messy in her interpretation of healing and what that means for jim. They are real characters. They just aren't the main characters, and they don't need to be either.

Because this is a story for and about men and masc leaning people.

#our flag means death #ofmd #hbo #hbomax #ofmd hbo #taika waititi #rhys darby #ok ive said my piece #look i also want 50 thousand more stories just like this #with all kinds of different cultural focuses #and different types of people as the main characters #i want my queer lady pirates too #but it doesnt need to be this show #this show has a specific purpose #these statements can coexist y'all #Like #as a bi woman dating a lesbian #I fucking adore this show. #and i dont need it to add queer women to satisfy me #i wouldnt turn them down #but also id rather have another show down the line that is made for me the way this show was made for the guys

this is me every few hours with whatever media is consuming my mind currently and it’s making me insane

#currently thinking about kny #and the amount of loss #and i am just Miserable #all that death and loss and grief cus muzan was a selfish temperamental man and only created more of those types of people #the amount of sacrifice it took to take down the upper demons #i just want them to be happy #there were lots of happy reunions of loved ones waiting in purgatory for fallen demon slayers and demons alike #forgiveness is healing truly #and they didn’t shy away from sending people to hell and accepting their fate #but it was okay if it was with the ones they loved #but man. the fact that the innocent died over and over and over. what the fuck did they do #why did tanjiro’s whole family get murdered? inosuke’s mom? shinobu’s sister? and countless others? #for fucks sake #like what the fuck did they even do? they were trying SO hard. it was never enough to be kind and good. this world will rip you apart #doesn’t even matter how good you are. shitty people will ruin it. shitty situations will ruin you. what even is the fucking point #good prevailed at the end but at what cost #losing my mind a little bit #sorry for the depressing ass tags #i literally can’t stop thinking about this #it’s consuming me a bit yeah #isha speaks #isha reads kny

[epicdogymoment]

alright i dont think im ever going to find the original post with the tags about gintoki past vs present + future so

#leologisms #gintama #sit down lads its leo tags meta time #anyway. specific characters being tied to gintokis past vs his present + the fact that gintokis past is dead and buried in the ground #aka takasugi had to die. #not to say gintama is a tragedy but. *gestures broadly* #but this is actually a tangent off of the point that i wanted to actually get to (and havent actually gotten to yet) #so like yes society if takasugi and hijikata got to interact in canon but also they couldnt have. #wait im getting interrupted by another tangent. sakamoto isnt intricately tied to gintokis past in the same way as the other two are #and while katsura shares the same past from shoson hes managed to worm himself into gintokis present too #to steal other peoples thoughts: katsura is a liminal space #in edo in the present where gintoki has surrounded himself with new people from edo from his present katsura is significant in how hes #recurring not in a recurring antagonist way like takasugi but as a regular part of the main cast. katsura is gintokis past invading his #present and making itself a home in there #anyway the actual point of this is sometimes i think about takasugi and hijikatas roles and how they differ #like yeah superficially dark haired surly smoking 'rivals' 'gintoki has a type haha' but also #i just always get caught up in present edo. youre in edo in the present and nobody is going to die. #gintama sazae san setting where its perpetually present except actually its moving into gintokis past #until the very end where he finally. finally buries his past for real #anyway this is all mostly just spawned from takagin 'one of us will die in this place' vs ginhiji 'your face is so fucking stupid'

[closetchild]

dragon age 2 couldve been SO spectacular, as good as origins, if they just had some actual fucking time to work on it

#like blahhhhh wahhhhhh they reused the same dungeons from beginning to end it was boring boo hoo well bioware games are at their core #story and character driven games. not combat and not exploration. and da2's characters were by far the most well rounded of the three games #and the production time was only a year. its incredible they even managed what they did with 1 year #it has its faults OBVIOUSLY and i get that the oversimplified response options (diplomatic. humorous. aggressive) are a clear downgrade #from da:o's response possibilities but again it wouldve been so easily rectified if they had time to work on it #to create more zones. write more lines. flesh out the diologue #truly the only inexcusable part is the combat and the fact that they never retuned the difficulties. a major loss of appeal to me is the #uninteruptable auto attack + insanely overpowered mage and assassin type enemies #nightmare mode on da:o was enjoyable and encouraged you to explore the mechanics of the game but da2's combat is sooo fucking #awful. the fact that on even normal mode you have to fiddle with every single companions tactics less they behave completely erratically #and with no common sense at all and that is was never FIXED is horrendous. the combat forces you to micromanage every party member to an #insane degree and doesnt make it comprehensive or enjoyable to do so AT ALL. inquisition did the best at making tactical mode enjoyable but #its condescendingly dumb downed skill trees + class build possibilities pretty much negates that imo #not to mention inquisitions comparitively two dimensional characters to both other games AND THE FACT THAT BARELY ANY OF YOUR CHOICES #MAKE A DIFFERENCE AT ALL! da2 was rushed to hell and back and still managed to be half way decent. da:i had THRICE the development time #so wtf is its excuse. theres so many lazy mistakes and continuity errors too. like the fact that all dalish elves have irish accents but #they only have two choices for voice actors. an american one and a british one so??? you just have a completely different accent??? #and all humans have british accents but you can still choose to have the american one??? and all dwarves and qunari have american accents #but you can still choose to have the british one???? WHY. JUST HIRE TWO MORE VOICE ACTORS AND REMOVE THE CHOICE ENTIRELY #JESUS CHRIST FOR THE SAKE OF CONTINUITY. #anyway i think 2 is better than inquisition so if that says anything about 4 i bet its gonna be the worst one yet. especially bc of all the #ea meddling thats been reported. but im hopeful. im still gonna dive head first into the new lore so that by itself is thr most exciting #i just really hope they bring anders back. and retcon his death like they did with leliana's. god one last gripe #inquisition is such a failure. a COMPOUNDING failure bc where da2 failed to bring closure at the end of its story inquisition #DOUBLE DOWN ON IT!! WHY ARE THE QUESTIONS DA2 POSED STILL UNANSWERED IN DA:I. DA:I WAS PERFECTLY SET UP AND THEY FAILED AT EVERY TURN TO #COME UP WITH AN OVERARCHING NARRATIVE! THEY JUST STALLED IT UNTIL THE NEXT GAME AND TBH #I THINK ITS A PATHETIC ATTEMPT TO STRETCH OUT THE SERIES #well anyway its nearly been 10 years since inquisition so if they could hurry up before i gnaw my hands off thatd be great #this is why you should read books and not play rpgs. rpgs is twice the wait and grief with a thimble of the worthwhileness #i dont care even marginally that no one is wondering about my dragon age opinions. what did u all follow me for. dir en grey? vkei? go away

Kpop is stupid bc I’m forced to learn about terms like ‘[1st-4th] gen‘ and ‘girl crush’ and be exposed to the most bullshit asinine discourse it makes me want to bash my head with a club. So anyways, I bring this up bc my brain can’t stop comparing current artists with 2nd gen artists I listened to growing up

#I sat down and listened to stray kids with FULL attention today and came out of it thinking oh #These guys have a powerful sound (and a rapper with a really DEEP tone) just like BAP but also a silly/playfulness like Block B #And the more I listen to monsta x the more I keep coming back to ‘the rappers really bounce off each other just like top and g dragon’ #GIRL CRUSH ESPECIALLY MADE ME WANT TO BADH MY HEAD AGAINST A WALL #bc like the name made me think the ‘concept’ would be smth cutesy. Like bubbly and hearts ykno. Like a teen crush type thing #BUT NO then i listen to a couple songs/artists who do the thing and every time I just came out of it like #‘Oh so like 2ne1 except you’ll never embody it as well as they did’ #That might be nostalgia speaking. Idk I need more time to think abt it #Discourse I don’t even want to get into but by god is there so much shit being flung around all the time. Why is everybody so full of hate #Just stick to the things you like and leave the things you don’t alone jfc #Dragging my hands down my face bc the music and artistry is still good but like everybody (fans/‘antis’) needs to shut the fuck up
