Sand: alone, minding his business... Ray: not on my watch Only Friends (2023)

#only friends the series #this is not 100% true btw hes a liar - Sand comes after Ray as well but pretty much exclusively only when ray needs saving #which is interesting #Ray always finds himself coming back to sand tho no matter what #if hes not near him hes orchestrating a reason to be near him - hire him for a party ask for cigarette ask for ride ask him to help orphans #I dont think Sand has ever asked Ray for a goddamn thing #only friends #sandray #first kanaphan #khaotung thanawat #ofts #cgedits #mygifs

the thing about autism in fiction is there are autistic-coded characters, but then there are also accidentally autistic characters, and there is basically zero overlap btwn these. autism-coding is when a character is Weird and Blunt and Very Smart and Bad At Feelings and, at least in western media, probably a white man. your spencer reids and your L deathnotes.

but accidental autism is when you make up a guy and when you're deciding what they're like you pick several traits common to autistic people. and you don't mean to do this, and you aren't intentionally leaning on any kind of trope, you are just writing a person and sometimes people are autistic. you have met autistics, knowingly or not – maybe you yourself are an autistic, knowingly or not – so you know people are like that. you aren't making any kind of statement, you are just making a guy.

this post is about zuko of the fire nation. i know we know but hot damn that boy is diagnosable

#yelling at clouds #autism tag #like. in reference to my prior post abt what coding means #if you do it entirely on accident it's not coding. imo #and this isnt exclusive to autism this goes for most brain stuff #when it's mental illness it's fun cuz like. ok do YOU know that's not a good way to be #you have lit this house on fire. are you aware houses don't have to be on fire? etc #but anyway. way more people know what autism is than realise they do #if i ever went to a powerpoint party my topic wld be Oops! That's An Autism!

The thing about mean rivals is that like there's kinda a reason we stop having them the second the plots started getting world-ending in scope and that's because you do not have time to deal with some whiny asshole who you've beaten over and over again's shit when a space chinchilla is about to suffocate everyone in the region

Like if they're a dick to you the entire way through they quickly become all bark and no bite because narratively they're going to keep losing to you, and again progressively destroying the ego of a small child is second to whatever this year's eldritch abomination is (and if they went so far as to help the eldritch abomination it raises questions about why they're friendly enough to battle you in the post game).

So like. It's simpler if they're just nice? And have arcs where the fact that they keep losing to you is the point? Your rival isn't the final boss anymore you don't have to build up to finally being able to defeat them for good (except not really) (I guess Hau in USUM arguably but LBR the final boss is Ultra Necrozma)

Like I guess I get annoyed when people don't acknowledge there's a point to how the rivals have been handled since gen 3. You don't have to like it per se but there's a reason the rivals are like this and it's not just the devs don't want to upset little kids.

The fact that the adults care about your safety on the other hand...

#I'd have to go play through it properly but like. the plot of Gen I is really weak and for narrative sake I think we should not be holding #ourselves to its tropes #(i don't say this to be disparaging to Gen I I respect those games so much #I mostly say it to like make a point) #also like the rivals didn't start exclusively choosing the Pokémon weaker than you until the one stronger than you showed up elsewhere #what's more intimidating Kukui and Leon having the stronger starter or the weaker one? #meanwhile Hop and Nemona are like. explicitly going easy on you. Nemona was about to waste you with her champion level team like a Pokémon #player stumbling across a bug catcher they missed while having god in their party #yeah of course when clavell points that out she chooses the weaker starter #Hop also has two Pokémon on you and is not ready for you to be as good as you are that's why he takes losing so hard later #he's being cocky #ANYWAY THIS HAS BEEN YOUR SEMI MONTHLY ALTO RANT ABOUT CERTAIN POKÉMON FANS #Pokemon

Let's talk khux gameplay and plot,

imo I think part of khux's story telling and the impact of the story gets lost now that the game is defunct. I always thought people didn't appreciate how the gameplay and the mechanics actually had an impact on the story and while that impact become virtually nonexistent later on, I always thought it made the story far more engaging when the game was just chi/unchained chi and also the English translation didn't do it too well ngl

Anyway what I'm specifically talking about is the medal system. Also I feel like the whole bangle thing wasn't explained well in game but really it just comes down to leveling up medals specifically. If you never played khux, you equip medals to your keyblades and they doa specific attack and to level them up you combine multiple of the same medal and you could see how leveled up a medal is by the amount of yellow dots next to it and, in JP at least, this was called "guilt" and like wow that name fucking slaps. And when nightmare chirithy reveals the player has been collecting darkness this whole time thru the medal system, you have literal guilt on your conscious. You are guilty of collecting darkness and negative emotions like guilt to use for your own power. And in Back Cover when the foretellers are made aware of this, there's no stopping it and ofc the player can't stop either, they HAVE to get stronger, you literally have to keep playing the game,

Another part of the game that I appreciated is the way the name changes factored into the game; chi was the original "world line" that the dandelions existed in and at first unchained chi had come off as just a remake but really what we're playing is the continuation, where the player and the dandelions are now in this unchained state/new world line and they're reliving their time as wielders but now without the war/"dark" memories and finally when they relive everything and get back to the "present," they continue on after into "union cross" which I feel like. wasn't explained well in game that much tbh but if you didn't understand what that meant in game, it was just to say that unions didn't matter anymore and they were all dandelions so the unions. when the unions are crossed.

and tbh the experience of playing this game in real time also added to the experience a lot and the impact of the story especially with a player insert character. I think the most effective use of this game being played in real time was Strelitzia. Now in the english version, everything with Strelitzia was all one update and the english ver was behind so honestly they had to do catch up they couldn't really afford to lag behind. But in JP, which most khux fans kept up with using fan translations, Strelitzia's introduction and her death happened about a month apart so it gave the players time to actualyl grow attached to her and THEN we get crushed. You can easily pin point the exact time certain khux fan art was drawn bc in a group drawing of the dandelions Strelitzia is there instead of Lauriam since he was only introduced after her death

and another thing! It only became apparent by the end of the game but khux actually takes place over the course of about 4 years. which is fucking insane. because the dandelions were stuck in the data for 4 years and didn't know it until the glitches started. and the game ran for roughly the same amount of time and we weren't even aware of that either until the glitches! ("why 4 years" there are cutscenes that literally say "4 years ago" so yeah girl what the fuck haha)

Anyway yeah this was just me rambling I think about this so much all the time can you tell. I hope missing link does something like this too tbh it makes it more fun and makes it feel that your actions as the player actually have impact on the story

#source: dude trust me I was there #'who cares about the gameplay of a defunct mobile game' I DO #I wasn't a whale I was exclusively F2P but I ranked well #I was deep in the khux meta I was watching the few khux youtubers seeing if pulls were worth it + keeping up with roboloid's datamines #me reporting all this information back to my party full of casual players and them being like. okay. #I was a very dedicated party leader #khux #im rambling #kingdom hearts #khml #khdr #khux essay

Hm like. The fact that the core companions in bg3, all of their arcs are about leaving a severely unbalanced and/or outright abusive relationship dynamic. They're all learning to be people again. How to be autonomous. Who they are beyond the person who controlled or manipulated them or set them on a very deterministic path.

And it's so interesting the variety we get? A goddess lover, a lich queen, a warlock patron, a goddess 'saviour', a vampire master, an archdevil.

Larian really wrote 6 fully fleshed out completely different companions and also said, actually everyone gets a recovery arc, everyone gets to learn freedom in their own way, the mechanism of learning to inhabit and be oneself ironically comes from being possessed by a mind flayer tadpole.

#bg3 spoilers #bg3 #anyway. it is just. very narratively compelling #they did a good job i am going to be obsessed forever #i dont think ive been THIS into a group of characters in a video game...ever??? #obvs da2 is my first and foremost love #but the ENTIRE party here is just. that good. thematically stunning #incredibly personal and moving #i wept multiple times and i still havent confronted the netherbrain!!! #also like. gale haters. get out my face #he was GROOMED by mystra #she literally is like. kys. and everyone is taking HER SIDE #it very much. has the feel of teen boy exploited by highschool teacher. but everyone makes jokes abt cougars #HES A VICTIM. HE LITERALLY HATES HIMSELF SO MUCH #yes hes wizard hubris too. but these r not. mutually exclusive

i love that my taste in music is pretty consistently a hit with all the little gay people in my phone but described by everyone i've ever shared it with irl as "songs you play when you want to people to leave your party"

#🐉 #i have to agree with them. my taste in music is not party friendly. unless youre hanging out exclusively with tumblrinas.

GUESS WHERE MY SUDDEN DORMANCY WITH THEM WENT HAHA.

Here's a Suselle Pride Month pic! This actually started out as something I did as a spite reaction to the hate this ship gets and it's still getting it because people don't know how to look at characters as any sort of 2-dimensional except me (jk I've seen a lot more folks thankfully) SO IT'S STILL SPITE LOL. It was only when I realized that June was coming when I lined it at the tail-end of April that I held onto this and slowly worked over it in the month of May. So it wasn't originally for now. Funny that tbh.

This was also me fucking around and finding out with Sai 2's scatter brushes now at my disposal :D I love the sorta blatant Fire and Ice thing with them still. I won't lie in the slightest it was greatly inspired by Lynxgriffin's piece of them. Other than that I draw everything from scratch and my hands were screaming for a while (If tumblr isn't still fucky with links I'd do that but until then aaaaa..)

Art: Mine

Do not steal/crop/edit/etc. Do not tag as kin/me ty! Suselle haters DNI :U

[qserasera]

one scenario i like to imagine is like if there was some fancy exorcist shindig somewhere at one of the matoba manors and there were like these 2 matoba guard guys standing around the entrance

a masked visitor: *approaches the door* exorcist bouncer 1: where's your invite the visitor, in a tone of outrage: how dare you, don't you know who i am??

exorcist bouncer 2: no invite, no party. now go away

*visitor leaves* (1) natori shuuichi, not wearing a mask: *approaches the door* exorcist bouncer 2: excuse me sir where's your invite natori, laughing with sparkles: ✨✨ahahaha✨ an invite? well...i'm sure i had it in my sleeve around here somewhere but...

exorcist bouncer 1, elbowing exorcist bouncer 2 in the side: that's not necessary, natori-san. please do head on in exorcist bouncer 2, after natori goes in: what why exorcist bouncer 1: he's on the VIP list exorcist bouncer 2: what VIP list exorcist bouncer 1: the one drawn up by matoba-sama obviously, didn't you read the introductory scroll from nanase-san

exorcist bouncer 2: ??? but him????????

exorcist bouncer 1: don't question it, u don't need to know

#look the matoba clan has So many shiki and like. possible guards following around the clan. but #there's a very well known tacit rule that natori shuuichi is pretty much allowed anywhere he wants on matoba property except for the most #dangerous/clan secret-related areas #nanase-san: sighs heavily but does not Actually discourage matoba from allowing this #matoba seiji: sekritly hoping natori would visit more so matoba can Have Higher gacha rates of encountering him lmao ok #horrible exorcists #matoba seiji #natori shuuichi #natori shuuichi Doesn't know this for the longest time: what do u Mean matoba parties are super exclusive im like invited to one every #every other month #makes sense because they're the biggest clan around #every other exorcist in the local prefecture: ................

wait wait okay i pinky promise i'm going to sleep soon but do you know what OTHER thing about preis des lebens makes me want to throw things. thorsten and julia. like this whole scene

and

and

and

#not like in a romantic way they just fascinate me as a situation #two people who both desperately love sebastian and love maja and are now kind of stuck together to try and fix this. and know each other #casually (both as oh that's Sebastian's Partner but also. maja's birthday party and in eigener sache and lots of little things lumped #together) but i doubt they'd ever had like. a real conversation that wasn't about basti or the kids. and now julia is suddenly part of the #exclusive club of people who know that thorsten had a family once. like where do you go on from there #i mean realistically you don't. i don't imagine they ever talk about it #but Christ the look on julia's face when thorsten says Look this was my wife this was my daughter. #tatort stuttgart
