Ok guys hot take #2….

The new trailer for the physical release of sjsm came out yesterday and I have some…thoughts. First off….

I fucking hate the new models. Like holy shit.

But first I’ll start with what I do like, cause it’s not all bad.

Beef demon looks- alright? I really like that they gave him goat feet and his hands look more creepy although I don’t get why his arms are so long. Also his big eyes throw me off. But not too bad.

Deer lord and Ringu also look alright and their gameplay seems to be the same. They do look a bit malnourished, but not too bad over all. Also we finally can see specimen 13 swimming in the water!!!!! Also we can see the ex-specimen 11 and spooper who look good! Specimen 3 looks the best and absolutely terrifying.

I am excited to see if they change some death screens or themes. That’s what I really want to know and I’m kinda hyped for a possible specimen 7 death screen and gameplay changes. Also the white cat looks cute!

Now for what I don’t like….

Now I already spoke about the parasite, and my stance still stands. They look god awful but I went into that in that previous post. Ben looks British and still looks super off. My issue is with specimen 2 and ESPECIALLY bab.

Specimen 2 is so god damn thin and they look elongated for some reason. They look so fucking goofy. Also his animation when he comes out of a puddle is so quick and looks like it cuts at the end. (But that could be an animation glitch so I’ll let it slide for now) Now bab has the worst case of being so fucking thin for no reason.

Like damn bitch I didn’t know skinny people need representation cause WTF. Why is she runway model thin. I know she’s supposed to be a “mannequin” but holy shit I’ve seen mannequins at the mall less skinny than her. Not to mention her movement and model in general looks so weird and moves just as awkwardly.

They basically shattered all hope I had that they would try to improve the models but what I’ve seen probably will be final. Most of my complaints chalk down to the models and art direction. Mostly since we haven’t seen much gameplay, but it’s hard to mess that up. So I think it’s mostly just the models that suck fuck.

I swear they’re going to make everyone so skinny. I fear what the old man, taker, and some of the doll house characters will look like.

I just hope for more specimen 14 content at the least.😔

The trailer of The Glassworker is here!

This is the frst ever Pakistani hand-drawn anime movie. And it looks so good! Very excited to watch it :D

Since it's a local movie, I can't wait for this to be the first thing I watch on the big screen!

#the glassworker #will be released in both english and Urdu #i hope it would be available internationally but for now we just know it'll be played in cinemas here #all local artist my beloved #anime #anime movie #the visuals.. so good #and some good fucking representation finally #this looks like it's based on Indian subcontinent's history too #i can taste the anti colonialism narrative #Youtube #the only thing whichbothers me a slight bit is character using jinn's power. that's kinda wrong. #not sure how they'll sneak in that bit of lore and adjyst it so it doesn't feel like ... That (dunno how to explain iykyk) #i do like how he described the traits of jinns so well #that sand drawn isn't what they look like but they shapeshift so it doesn't matter

I love Henry In the last of us hbo show I love morally divisive characters that get humanized and when the themes/motivations of those character types get explored and the audience isn’t force-fed a narrative to see a character as being irredeemable by the story even if they make harmful choices for survival and I love them even more when they’re BIPOC characters. I’m so feed up with the model minority stereotype give me more BIPOC character arcs like this fr feed me. Overload my system with characters like this.

*Gasp!* A romance novel acknowledged the existence of aro people!

In classic cliché fashion, the protagonist begins by saying he doesn't ever really get feelings for anybody - essentially describing an aro experience, though he's presumably allo. BUT! Instead of following the cliché by then having him meet "the right person" and finally fall in love, this author had someone immediately clock the aro vibes of that statement and directly ask the protagonist if he's aromantic! And then, instead of just perfunctorily checking the box for acknowledging aro people exist and having him say no and move on, the author has him explain that what he means by "I don't get feelings" is: "I had my heart broken and have since actively avoided developing romantic feelings at all costs" - Not: "I've never experienced romantic attraction before this one special person"

#finally some good fucking food #aromantic #romance novels #Sarah talks at the internet #i feel like I'm starving for scraps with the way this minimal acknowledgement seems so meaningful to me #this is helping to heal the wound in my soul from that one hallmark Christmas movie that put me off the entire genre #the benefits of consuming queer media #sometimes they actually acknowledge that people like me exist #like the one KJ Charles novella where instead of getting smutty like usual the protagonists both turn out to be ace 💜 #The book is #Hijinks With A Hellhound #Louisa Masters #if anyone's curious #though don't read it - or the rest of the series it's in - if all you're after is aro representation #this moment was delightful because it was unexpected #the books at large very much center on falling in love and fucking #tag rant

I love blue beetle and its message and I wish more people had watched it and I understand that the lack of promotion both because of the strikes and because the studios don't give a shit has affected it negatively and the role that racism/xenophobia play in people's disinterest towards the characters in general BUT PLEASE let's also not forget about superhero fatigue

#i keep seeing people complain about the marvels and blue beetle flopping like: we finally got representation and people aren't showing up #and honestly have they considered that these movies (although valuable stories) are being made in part as a last ditch attempt at relevancy #marvel didn't make the Black Widow movie when it thought it had something to lose which ironically would've been a better statement than #those post-mortem crumbs they tossed at us with it #black adam shang chi blue beetle eternals and whatever else... people forget these studios need audience more than the audience needs them #they're not doing it cause representation suddenly matters (and I don't mean creators and especially not poc I mean the suits) #they're doing it cause they have something to gain and nothing to lose that they're aren't losing already (attention/public interest) #and above all else: money #so sure it's upsetting that one of my favorite superheroes is not getting the love he deserves but look at the market baby #we're fucking tired and these crumbs don't help and the political climate is a mess #studios wave diversity on our faces and even preach some good messages but then they go and put their money where exactly? #hm. #blue beetle #marvel #dceu

If I had a nickel for every time I was in a fandom where my favorite character was a gentle, loving, overly romantic and totally gay sweetheart who was clearly written to be an abuse victim with a tragic past, was thrust into a world where he clearly didn’t belong, had incredible power compared to most but actively chose not to cause harm with it in any situation where it could possibly be avoided even when that could come back to bite him in the ass, and fell in love with someone who was so wrapped up in their own tragedy that they couldn’t let him in and thus repeatedly hurt and abandoned him, and the fandom still somehow was so media illiterate that they at large refused to understand this and instead wanted to make him into the villain —

…I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it SURE AS HELL is WEIRD AND ANNOYING that it happened twice.

#linklethehistorian #my thoughts #thoughts #this definitely isn’t the prelude to an article I’ve been working on on the side for a bit now #And this isn’t even counting some much more serious irl matters I want to cover in the future regarding Arthur #In fact the article I’m currently talking about isn’t EVEN about Arthur for once #I guess the day when people stop fucking victim blaming will be the day I can finally stop writing these articles #but until then I wish each and every person supporting these claims a very merry fuck you and get wrekt #anytime we get actually GOOD representation of abuse victims this shit happens #what is wrong with y’all

Me whenever I have to write Lif: I am going to write a guy who is sooooo out of character that he's essentially a new guy now. Sorry. Anyway I think he's infinitely funnier now and I literally have no idea how the fuck to work with "There is no future for us..... the dead....." bc babygirl I don't know if you know this but. You may be dead, but you are very much still here. Everyday you are here day after day experiencing emotions, my guy. You might as well be alive, dorkass.

#fire emblem #feh #not me starting a new project when i told myself i'd focus on one project and i also have not finished ANY projects #anyway. i'm super bad at actually writing angst. or anything too serious. #i'm just hardwired to be silly and to love deeply and to have a good time i think. #the natural conclusion to that is silly-ifying really tragic and serious characters. #lif is now a sad wet paperbag of a man. a poor little meow meow. acts like a dramatic and moody teenager sometimes #never got to have a teenage rebellion in life. and so in death he can do and be however the fuck he wants and it's funny as hell #meanwhile gustav finally gets to have his midlife crisis in death. never allowed himself a midlife crisis. #but now he is 'living' his best 'life' without worrying about his reputation or kingdom. he's basically retired. #again he too finds some strange freedom in dying and coming back wrong and it's funny as hell. #anyway. don't come to me if you want accurate representions of tragic characters i guess LMFAOOOOO #DO come to me if you wanna get silly go stupid! i'm great at that! #if. i ever finish anything anyway. i will. on god i fuckinh will. i prommy 💖💖💖💖💖 #fe lif

look man. look

essek saying "bren" out loud, claiming a position on caleb's side as the mouthpiece of his regards to astrid, did something to me. i can't tell if it opened a wound or punched me or gave me a hug. all i know is that i am feeling so many emotions right now

more under the cut because i'm about to get rambly:

"bren aldric ermendrud" is a separate character from caleb widogast. he's a young boy learning how to make magic. he's a deeply traumatized and indoctrinated teenager. he's the boy who curled up with astrid and eadwulf in a freezing tower for warmth all night.

essek never met bren. he met caleb and he's never known him as anyone else. if i'm remembering correctly, caleb never even said the name "bren" to him during the campaign, and neither did any of the nein.

essek knows caleb widogast. he knows the man who held up the object of his worst crime and then kissed him in the bowels of a ship and made a floor of infinite stars for them to walk through together. he knows the person who healed over bren's wounds—thinly, but enough. he knows the man that the boy has become.

astrid knows bren. she barely knows who caleb is. she still calls him bren after hearing him referred to as caleb repeatedly. she can't know him as the man he is, she only knows the boy. there's some of bren in caleb, but there is no caleb in bren.

essek saying "bren sends his regards" is him gauging astrid's reaction, on one level—if she freaks out, which she did, she's in opposition to caleb's cause and thus a threat. on another level, it's essek delivering a very different subtextual message from caleb: "the boy who loved you is giving you one final warning."

because essek is a threat to astrid. their last meaningful interaction was slinging spells at each other in the blooming grove. and that's funny in a "current boyfriend vs ex girlfriend exclusively fight each other" kind of way, but it's also deeply tied to caleb's recurring theme of transformation. "bren sends his regards" also means "i have healed enough to love enough for someone else to know this name and use it with my consent. and this someone else is your enemy. what does that make you think i've become?"

it also does a fantastic job of communicating subtle offscreen discussions that have happened over the years since the end of c2. we don't have the details of when or how caleb told essek his birth name, but we know that he did, and we know from all of c2 that the name bren occupies a place of immense emotional weight for caleb. it functions similarly to a deadname in terms of who uses it and for what purpose. trent exclusively calls caleb bren to wound him and place himself in a position of power. astrid calls him bren to remind both him and herself of who they used to be—same with eadwulf, though obviously he's not here.

the first time we hear essek say "bren" is on caleb's behalf and confronting one of the narrative representations of caleb's trauma. it's four words that manage to communicate "i, your enemy on a hundred levels, can speak for both the man i love and the boy who loved you, because i know him in his entirety."

astrid knows bren and essek knows caleb, but only essek can speak for both. because at some point, caleb gave bren to essek. and we know this from four words. four IMPROVISED words.

god. this moment is just so fucking good
