I wonder how many people know that Maria's animals are the Four Symbols from Chinese/East Asian mythology. Didn't pick it up until the turtle appeared but when I tell you I screamed

#the vermillion bird of the south!!! #the black turtle of the north!!! #the white tiger from the west!!! #hjklahrlkjahsdf all we're missing is the azure dragon from the east now #although now i'm curious #where did maria get this ability from? #clearly not from her very christian father #and her mother is russian #not trying to be one of those people screaming “cultural appropriation” or something i'm just curious #especially since castlevania likes to explain where things come from and why people can do magic #castlevania #castlevania: nocturne #castlevania nocturne #castlevania netflix #maria renard

if it's grown out but the dyed part is still noticeable then vote yes. if it's partly dyed/highlighted etc vote yes. if you've previously dyed it but it's now faded to natural colour vote no.

#I'm just curious like what the overall proportion of dyed to non dyed hair is #mine is currently a more auburn slightly lighter version of my natural brown (although it's a bit faded now so it's not far off my roots) #polls

this undeniably has to be one of the worst opinions I've seen about this season. like out of the plentiful failures season 4 had... you really couldn't choose one to talk about? max's mental health was one of the only things that I felt season 4 handled pretty damn well.

I do think it could have been better written, yes. the ending of her arc in season 4 was....insulting at best.

but overall? the show does a great job of addressing that max actually hated billy (she literally fucking admits to wishing for his death) and that her grief is more complicated than just missing a person. because she wasn't missing a person! she was ultimately glad billy was gone. but even in death, he torments her.

she watched a person she grew up with be brutally murdered by some fleshy abomination, RIGHT in front of her. her shitbag step father bailed on her and her mother after billy died, forcing them to move to the trailer park. her mother abuses alcohol and is never home because she's always working so they can afford to live in the trailer park. her friend group has been split in two by the byers moving away, which took el away from her too. she doesn't know how to reach out to lucas, deep down doesn't feel she deserves his love & concern, despite lucas' best efforts (vecna literally taunts her with lucas turning on her at the final confrontation). she wished so badly to have someone like steve in billy, but she knows that billy would never be that person. he was the complete opposite & she can't just have steve in his place. she mourns the brother she never had. she is devastated by the way billy still hurts her, even after he's gone.

she's what. fourteen??? when this all happens?

like the death of an abuser is never so simple as "hooray! I am so very joyous now that the source of my pain is gone!" the damage an abuser inflicts on you is not some cut to the skin that can be healed and one day forgotten. it's so much more tortuous than that. especially for a child.

#stranger things #thoughts about media #“her trauma was so unserious because I cannot critically engage with a TV show in a way that transcends clout chasing on social media" #stranger things fans on twitter continuing to prove that they are the worst. business as usual I suppose. #I only clicked the trending tag because I figured little lord zionism had once again said something repulsive. #or that another cast member had defended his or the other lunatic's odious words. #nope. schnapp apparently has no work lined up after st5. which is lovely news. may he rot thoroughly. #and then this ridiculous post. #you know. the smallest spark of recognition flickered in my mind when I saw the user's url. so this can't be the first time. #however- I did not have them blocked. HA! they sure are now! although I'm sort of curious what awful opinions they've shared before. #eh- but most certainly not curious enough to waste my time and risk reading some utter garbage about steve. #the block button is not enough for those who slander steve's good name.

According to the devs, we'll have the option to dive right into Phantom Liberty pretty much whenever we want, but it sounds like there might be some value in starting a fresh game or at least entering earlier in the main story: A lot of current information about Phantom Liberty is that it is going to do some major overhauls to the base game, such as (just to name a few) adjusting how armor works (it'll be tied to cyberware, not clothing) and accruing wanted levels that could mean a showdown with MaxTac (source).

Tamara in protective and detective mode is such a mood! And a nice role reversal, since Lucy is usually the one with that vibe - for obvious reasons. The fact that she was not even trying to be subtle at all… Her Do not mess with my family aura was loud. I just love this little family so much and the love and support they have for one another...

#I don't know why but Tamara's behavior here reminded of Lucy's when she met T's alleged boyfriend during one of Nyla's UC test #Anyway - Tamara & Lucy's relationship is the gift that keeps on giving #Look at her following her Mom's footsteps #Although now I'm curious as to what she's going to find... #The Rookie #Chenford #Lucy Chen #Tamara Collins #5.20 #Episode Tag

#i wish they had an eta on when the race would resume but the ep we are on (5) is an hour long so idt we would have time to finish it zz #my friend is very kind to allow us to pause our watching session so i can watch f1 tbh lol but she's napping so it's a win-win for both #although i think she's winning now bc she's asleep and i'm just sitting here smh #anyways 3 body problem is good lol but i'm curious about the book and the chinese adaptation bc i heard it's a lot better #if anyone else is watching it lmk your thoughts #roscoehamiltons.txt

Seeing your self aware Sky post reminded me of when I played Skyward Sword on my Wii with my little sister. We ended up playing the whole game with her using the Wii remote and me having the nunchuck, and every time I think of self aware LoZ I can't help but imagine poor Sky being confused and having to deal with me and my sister committing acts of petty sabotage like turning around just before throwing something or refusing to fly anywhere and just going in circles.

Siblings are so great aren't they? <3 one of my brothers deleted both of my botw saves on the wii u we had because he wanted a 5th save slot dcfwsc the mental image of that is so great to me thank you so much for sharing anon <333

Sky would likely figure out he's in a game so much earlier than if he wasn't running around in circles and self sabotaging himself constantly seeing as there's no good reason for him to act like that without it. he'd probably find it funny after getting used to it though.

#the idea of all that is so funny to me #although now I'm curious why that was the best solution??? #why not have separate savefiles??? even the wii has three if I'm remembering right??? #unless you'd fight over who plays when #that makes sense defdewdfc #moss✦answers #moss✧rambles

I was thinking about this after yesterday's post, but now that it's confirmed that this is going to be a stream on QSMP's Twitch channel, I'm wondering if this is going to be a way for them to not necessarily talk about but maybe referencing the behind-the-scenes leadership changes, but in a lore-y way.

I'm not sure if they'd proceed with an actual big lore-related thing right now considering the ongoing admin situation, but I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

#i talk #qsmp talk #I'm curious to see what this will be about #I was gonna write out some more thoughts but we really don't know what's going on behind the scenes right now so #theorizing doesn't really help #Also re: the ongoing admin situation #Although some of the admins are still part of the project (including some Egg actors) #I'm not sure we'll see them log on as ''themselves'' anytime soon #But again this is all theorizing. We don't know what's going on #And we likely won't know most of what happens but I DO know that proceeding with big lore stuff while a lot of things seem nebulous to us #fans / viewers / randos #will likely (and to a certain degree understandably) not be received well

i was playing luocha's quest "guide for a knight stranger" when i spotted a genshin character. this is like finding beyoncé in a supermarket. what is chang the ninth doing here? i think it's pretty cool that he's a detective romance novel character in this universe instead of a writer, it's like the world is inverted. and he's the killer's uncle, nonetheless. too bad we don't know (as far as i'm aware of) if genshin's chang the ninth has nephews, but with at least 8 siblings it's very likely.

#i'm a curious person so i went to see what book xingqiu wanted to get from him in his quest and it was 'legend of the shattered halberd' #unfortunately i didn't find anything that could relate to hsr so it was just a little detail for funsies probably #but the book is actually crazy!!! #it talks about how in ancient times when the axis mundi was unobstructed there were 9 realms each a world of its own #zhongzhou was the realm of humans (literally translates to central axis or core) and the gods resided in shenxiao (to sneer or laugh at is #the only translation i found). it talks about how there was a war between gods at the end of the last calamity and how the god king fell #which obliterated all living things. but now the realms were reborn and life thrives again although the passageway between the nine realms #by axis mundi has been seeled off #if that isn't intriguing i don't know what is. i should read more books to make sense of the lore better #this just adds to my belief in the theory that there are 9 elements. 9 symbolising perfection and completion is also so good #the quest about the nine pillars of peace in liyue being associated with the calamity that struck khaenri'ah. the pillars symbolising human #vices/desires. the connection to the yaksha tasked to exterminate the blight that originated from the defeated gods of the archon war which #corrupted their body and spirit eventually going mad and slowly vanishing from the people's memory. a lot of things about the archon war #in liyue the number 9 and it's funny that chang the ninth's book also talks about a war between gods. i could go on but anyways fun stuff #honkai star rail #genshin impact

Ahhh. I’m hearing old industry friend talking about how the reason there’s no projected X-Men MCU projects before 2025, even though they’ve started going ahead with using the term mutant in universe, is NOT because they can’t use the characters yet per the old Fox contracts OR because they’d have to reuse the same actors per the actors still being attached thanks to the old Fox projects....

Rather, its because the PRODUCERS of the Fox X-Men films are still attached until 2025, and any MCU projects that use material already established in the Fox movies would mean Kinberg, Singer, etc, would be guaranteed a seat at the producer table and that specifically is what MCU producers are trying to avoid.

Interesting.

#Im curious to see how this plays out in a variety of respects #for instance they've really been hyping up the whole Spider-man and his amazing friends concept in the comics lately #aka building on the nostalgia of the old cartoon about Peter and his BFFs Iceman and Firestar #and there were a LOT of rumors awhile back that the next (or at least a proposed future) Spider-Man movie about Peter in college #wanted to introduce Firestar and Bobby #(although that was intertwined with rumors they wanted to introduce Bobby and Johnny Storm as Peter's new BFFs #which has credence given that i can see the MCU trying to go that route and there's the fact that originally the Spiderman #and his Amazing Friends cartoon only created and used Firestar INSTEAD of Johnny because of Johnny's cartoon rights being tied #up elsewhere at the time) #but regardless I am interested to see if that pans out still (before 2025) and how they might go about it #because there's no problem using Firestar in a future Spider-Man movie since her character has no prior connection #to the Fox movies nor is it reliant on material specifically introduced in those films #but Bobby would be more of an issue. HOWEVER. I could see them trying the angle that going with a take on Bobby Drake #that's rooted in his post coming out narratives - openly gay etc #would count as a substantial differentiation from the Fox film version of Bobby and thus be grounds for introducing #his character prior to 2025 WITHOUT having to loop in any of the Fox producers because they'd be utterly #irrelevant to this take on the character #now I'm jaded about the MCU in general but tbh one of my go-to thoughts since they got the X-Men rights back were #*rolls eyes at Disney* 'wonder how likely it is that Bobby - who's been in virtually every major X-Men adaptation EVER when he was written #as straight - just so happens to end up one of the major X-characters coincidentally NOT to make it into the MCU in the first several #waves of X-Men making their MCU debuts' #so......given that he IS one of the biggest and most iconic X-Men characters who COULD feasibly be introduced to the MCU pre-2025 #going by this chatter as to why the hold-up with major X-characters still.....BUT that introducing him and using #him to help build up a foundation of mutants in the MCU would RELY on infamously homophobic Disney to greenlight #a clear and distinctive emphasis on an unambiguously gay Bobby Drake......hmmm #kinda curious to see how this all plays out on just a meta or behind the scenes level

𝐂𝐈𝐈𝐈. Different energies used in Khaenri'ahn technology.

Last post for tonight, pinky promise (I need to go to sneep so I wake up earlier tomorrow to revise for the partial 😔). But I find interesting that it's suggested that Void began to be used as a source of energy in Khaenri'ah relatively recently, as until that point they were using Ley Lines and stopped using them upon finding out that the abyssal sources are more convenient (I'm sure that there is also a different backdrop to it which is this desire to control the Abyss, thus they would topple the gods as per Chlothar's words). At the same time, it's also nice to see that there were people involved in the abyssal energy usage who seemed to be timid in voicing out their concerns about using it.

#◟༺✦༻◞ events to be remembered in blue veins ┊addendum.┊ #I was also curious at the mention #that Khaenri'ahns could actually master abyssal beasts #which I'm sure it's the rifthounds #as those were within the Furnace #to think that it's stated in some descriptions #that they were created as if by mistake by Gold #like how one would do absentminded sketches #and get rid of them #and eventually they ended up using them #for their benefits actually #although I'm holding that 'by mistake/accident' rhetoric #on quarantine for now #because there is a specific description #related to something of Dragonspine #in which it seems that she was actually #pouring thoughts/dreams/etc. of deceased beings #into her creations #so that begs the question #to /what/ extent was by accident #that will be talk for another day #obviously not today djfhjg #anyway! time to go to sneep #g'night you peeps ♥︎
