#ahead of its time truly

[mightymizora]

Also I would be remiss to not also mention my other darling, the incredibly ambitious Tyranny! If you are a fan of The Dark Urge path in BG3, especially a non resist path, why not play this extremely fucking sick game??

I can’t recommend it over Pillars only because bless the devs, they got cut after cut so it’s not quite so fully featured but it is still one of the best eight quids you will ever spend. Outrageously ambitious writing, such a good magic system and art style, it’s just a little labour of love and adored by weirdos the world over. A cult classic for a good reason.

Essentially the plot is: what if the good guys have lost and now the bad guys are implementing their tyranny? Can they keep it the fuck together? Or will they tear each other apart? Will resistance win through? Will you, the Fatebinder, fulfil the will of your overlord (who is just… I mean I could have a whole post on how well judged the storytelling around Kyros is) or will you try and seize power for yourself?

IT BANGS

I'm rewatching Steven Universe and I will never forgive Fandom for what it did to her

#also watching it at age 19-20 as it was released and experiencing the resulting clusterfuck online fandom response was a wild trip #im finally rewatching it again at 25 and really really feel lucky to have seen it at the age i did #i have completely different perspective on it now that i have 3 young nephews and a neice where before i was in college #the music is still as incredible as it was back then #and the animation #i cant beleive people got honestly and truly upset and violently aggressive about characters being off model sometimes #early stevens voice though kills me after awhile...... the yelling .... but his characters growth and development also being reflected in #his voice changing as he grows up #they also go crazy hard on some scenes #who am i kidding the show was a masterpiece and ahead of its time

listening to the thg audiobooks and katniss hating/trying her fucking hardest to hate peeta is so funny

#her internal monologue is like he is cute ⚠️but EVIL⚠️ #like i get why its just so fucking funny to me . girl ur gonna marry him <3 #i just know in modern au katniss is the girl who writes the get out of my school letter #okay anyway i forgot how good these books r. bc i was 13 when i read them #but they r genuinely great. truly ahead of their time #katniss is a protagonist who doesnt make me want to bite things which is nice also. shes rly cool actually #oh and her and peeta r t4t. okay i think im done now #thg #<- i foresee myself being annoying abt this so making a tag

[w1tchybusiness]

i could write a 100 page essay about what a fucking masterpiece warframe is. i will write many words in the tags. please readem if you want my 'tism.

#ive been playing on and off since 2019 but its only recently when i dumped destiny 2 (probably for good) and picked it up #to fill the grind-shaped hole in my heart #that i have uncovered just how FUCKING INCREDIBLE warframe is #everything about it makes me incredibly autistic #from its masterful utilization of an incredibly styled and individual soundtrack full of absolute bangers #to its seemingly unique understanding of how and why an MMO is special to and because of its players #and its truly special story- a uniquely human take on the “post-ruin scifi” tale #it knows exactly how and when to yank on your heart to make you weep like a baby #and it knows exactly when you're going to get angry and want vengeance #and it knows when to let you let loose and unleash hell #SPOILERS FOR THE NEW WAR AHEAD #IF YOU THINK YOU COULD PLAY THE GAME PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO #SPOILER WARNING #i think the narmer corruption of fortuna was genuinely one of the most gutpunchingly horrible moments ive ever experienced in a video game #i started playing when fortuna was already in the game but the story of fortuna and vox solaris was really what made warframe stand out 2 m #i would drop into the orb vallis as gauss and dash around doing bounties and fishing and mining because i really loved everything about #fortuna and wanted to spend as much time there as possible #for me vox solaris was my proudest achievement (in warframe.) to say “i helped that! i did that!” was an incredibly good feeling #the story really spoke to me on a deeper level #and vox solaris has always been my favorite faction as a result #so to do absolutely everything that i could #to lift together with my tenno brothers and sisters and yet STILL fail? #and to have it rubbed in my face by the corruption of the greatest shining pillar of hope in the warframe universe? #felt like i got kicked in the stomach #i felt sad and angry. but most of all i was DRIVEN. #which is GOOD. because RARELY does a video game present you the “you lost” scenario and have it feel not only satisfyingly painful #but MOTIVATING. #my only complaint with the new war is that i didnt get to hack ballas to pieces by myself #i had real flashbacks to running around helping people as gauss while approaching the final boss with erra #and to step onto the ballas arena as gauss prime. i nearly came from the narrative significance

#GAHHHHHGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH #I HATE THE MILGRAM EXPERIENCE SOME TIMES #its . GAAAHHHH #truly feeling the full impact of #'getting attached to milgram characters sucks because you will have to watch them undergo a black&white public judgement of their actions #and if they're not forgiven it hits you worse than usual/would they forgive you too ?' #haruka's case is esp bad too............. #rbed a post about it earlier but it has that ableist tint too. sad quiet boy is palatable and ok but let's not get too ahead of ourselves #im guy who goes thru the 'favorite character is disliked' feeling quite often and it still hurts every time orz #'widely disliked' or 'person i like dislikes them' are both so baddd #(i don't think haruka is That disliked per se but people just don't cate about him enough i guess. which is bad too. because it's Him) #if i were to be born again could i be your favorite this time...................... #mayoiayasep #preguntas

WHO IS THIS GIRL seeing the 2 people who you were just talking to for a JOB INTERVIEW hanging out and immediately going "r those 2 on a date ?" and RECORDING THEM?

#HELLO?? beast morphers was truly ahead of its time #|blazar stone|

[citricclown]

most of the fandom interpreting ur favorite couple as siblings gives me the same energy as historians saying “they were good friends!”

#also please do not take this out of context im talking about the friends to lovers trope #growing up together you know #not being adopted to the same family #this is about buggy and shanks ofc #i know that in the eng sub they translated their relationship as like a brother to shanks but in the ptbr one is not that so #maybe its a mistranslation but it sounds homophobic to me /hj #to english speaking folks #do they mention them as brothers again in the anime/manga or is just this one time? #i asked my gf bc shes ahead of me but she told me theres never a mention to their relationship as that again #idk if someone will truly answer me so im gonna stop here #buggy x shanks #shuggy

⚢ I love ... Anne ... I love that she gets to be gruff and happy and gentlemanlike and proud and masculine and butch and on top of it all she ends up with the softest, sweetest, bravest, most stubbornly adorable femme wife,,, absolutely iconic. there's no show that does it like gentleman jack

#( imagine that. a historical butch lesbian #and she gets a happy ending #and she gets to be masc and lovely and horrible and wonderful and insufferable #this show was truly and uniquely ahead of its time ily sally wainwright ) #( out of shibden. )

SPOILERS FOR ELEMENTS EXCEPT ITS THE GENUINE REVELATION ANIMATION MV THEY UPLOADED SO MAYBE NOT BUT JUST IN CASE IM PUTTING IT UNDER KEEP READING my brain is not cooking anything however i need to lET MY THOUGHTS OUT FOR SOMEONE TO PUT IT TOGETHER LIKE A DETECTIVE

first of all i want to say that all that budget fr went to the quality of the mv like damn??? and i heard that theyre making an animation MVs series so we’ll be expecting more of such MVs like this in the future (MANIFESTING ALKALOID ANIMATION MVS PLS HAPPYELE)

ok but continuing on

i knew some of the context of past fine thanks to the anime, but i was unprepared at how clear they show tsumugi’s frown at the start. but then they have him smile for the performance and UGH the change in expression is so good but pAINFUL

this exchange piqued my interest but i didnt know what the details were exactly until i finished the whole mv and rewatched it again. 

the somewhat bittersweet/sad expression on tsumugi’s face as he looked towards eichi. then immediately followed by eichi’s look of surprise as tsumugi turns to continue singing. now my thoughts were all over the place so i actually went and search for the lyrics video of Genuine Revelation on youtube to find the english translation 

and apparently, this was the line they were singing; “The stars that can no longer shine will be annihilated”. Thankyou Nasumi Violet for their video (link sends straight to where they sing this line)

my brain is small for this i feel like this has an underlying meaning because of the contract and because this is their last performance but i feel like im reaching 

the next part that interested me was eichi’s surprised expression, and i was thinking to myself, why’s the man surprised?

his eyes were kept on tsumugi’s in confusion/curiosity(???) so whAT’s happening why is this here happy ele whAT ARE YOU COOKING

so i decided to look at the other mv and went to the part where they sing the same line. you know just out of curiosity its not like they have the same movements or anyth-

oh. no wonder eichi’s surprised

obviously im not expecting them to do the same choreography because their stage is different here, but this action of having their hands reached out like that is definitely something they planned beforehand. so for tsumugi to not reach his hand out the same time eichi does, maybe eichi does have a reason to be a bit surprised. not enough to disturb the performance, but enough to be taken aback

makes it a bit interesting, however, that their duo line lasts for four bars, and their hands reaching out like that only comes on the second bar. However, tsumugi reached out for eichi on the first bar. a whole, 4 count bar before eichi does it (that is to say, the one in the animation mv, eichi’s hand reaching out was delayed slightly compared to the game mv but its basically the same thing)

its one thing to have their choreography be like that, camera angles and everything. but its another thing if eichi tenshouin is SURPRISED mid performance and thEY MADE THAT VERY CLEAR 

i also noticed, at least for the game mv, that this was the only time tsumugi and eichi interacted onstage. the other 89% of the time, the two were apart with hiyori and nagisa between them, as if deliberately keeping them separate

so for tsumugi to not even have his hand out the same time eichi does, where its the ONLY time for them to interact onstage, on their LAST performance together makes it oh so painful 

ignoring technicalities aside, its also like tsumugi cant bear to look at eichi for long. and eichi’s surprised expresssion while he reached out to tsumugi, who’s turned away from him, its like he’s watching someone slip away from his fingers, the consequences of his actions catching up to him and he’s not even realizing it

anyway they did amazing i cant wait for eccentric party night <3333

#ensemble stars #enstars #tsumugi aoba #eichi tenshouin #ive only known enstars since en release so in all honesty im not familiar with ! era stories #i do have the basic understanding of what happened thanks to the anime #and i now have elements to watch #i am not an eichiP or a tsumugiP #i dont even listen to fine or switch that much #but these two have me on a chokehold the entire time #its just so INTERESTING ok???? #im speaking as a casual viewer but i could infer so many things just from this mv alone #fun fact i actually didnt watch episode 5 #im waiting for the translations but i went ahead on the mv #maybe this is normal information for some #but as someone that has the bare minimum knowledge of what happened during the war era #its truly fascinating to find details in the simplest thing like their change in expression #that tells a whole story within a manner of seconds #one of these days ill go check out the story itself but im enjoying taking my time with the lore #cant wait to over analyze eccentric party night once the animation mv comes out /hj #besides the pain the background change to a sunset is SO pretty #idk if its the sunset or sunrise but either way having the whole hand exchange happen during that makes me FEEL things
