I thought I was losing it but no, kh1 Sora's fast swimming animation really does change after you've been to Atlantica. It's a small detail, but also a cute and smart one 🥺

#edit nobody say anything i didn't realise that the dolphin kick ability extended to beyond atlantica ok i am dumb #and i didn't even think to read over its description twice. ok #but still!!! by lore he Did learn to swim better there so (*copium*) #kingdom hearts #video games #mytext #what i learned since making this post is that people don't read tags

Everytime one of her friends goes on a Lord of the Rings based ramble, rant or info dump in her immediate presence, or when she's in the same building, Aabria should get a dollar.

Katniss in the first book is so funny because beyond her being absolutely wrong in nearly every assumption she has of Peeta. Every other chapter she’s like “two can play that game” about him being deceptive and then she utterly fails at it. 

#how Peeta didn't think she was insane is beyond me #Like she can manage playing nice for one page before she gets fed up #i love her #katniss everdeen #everlark #the hunger games

So: it turns out that – regardless of whether it was the original plan – what Homestuck: Beyond Canon's third writing team in five years is going with seems to be a cosmic battle between a godlike asshole who thinks transformative fiction has a moral obligation to engage in thematic and structural fidelity with its source material, and a godlike asshole who thinks transformative fiction shouldn't exist at all. It's an interesting direction, if an obvious one. In fact, it's so obvious that the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy is treading the exact same ground at the exact same time; it's going to be pretty fucking bizarre watching to see which of them – if either! – manages to stick the landing.

I have so many thoughts about how, in a world where so many in-game companions are barely tolerated or even outright hated, kim kitsuragi is universally beloved. How much it speaks to us that in our worse moments, we all hope to deserve the begrudging kindness he provides. He will not coddle you. He will tell you to get your shit together. But he will support you when you sing karaoke, off-key and mournful. He will play a board game with you in the middle of a murder investigation. He may dance with you inside a church. And in the end, when you leave this waking dream of an investigation to face the smoking wreckage of your life, he might go with you.

#i love you kim kitsuragi #i love you disco elysium #a game that entrenches you in a life you yourself have deemed beyond salvaging #but there are glimmers #what they are I don’t know #but at least they sparkle #disco elysium #the shine of his glasses the click of his pen #the brief waft of nicotine #and the gleam of those new wheels on his kineema #oh kim i could write about you forever

heh, I actually do like some of the merch HeR is selling these days but y’all some of the other stuff?

the ‘polaroids’ stickers are kind of a neat idea but lmao what’s up with this? one, it was not a polaroid, it was part of the whole waverly-academy-school-groupchat thing? two, nancy didn’t take it? three, as a bitch with no sympathy for izzy i find it hilarious, but why does it exist as a product? who wanted this? did anyone want this? why?

why is minette the only concept art HeR’s made into merch? again, a decision that baffles me, even if i dig the art itself - it’s not my main point of crit here, but it bears asking my main question though is why does this sticker cost more than an actual goddamned mug. why.

the jenna deblin shirt isn’t available in green. seriously, what are you doing. who woke up and chose violence?

and every ‘neck gaiter’ (????) is objectively awful, ok bye. also when tf was bess in pink camo? don’t do our girl like that.

#tbh despite my complaints about the minette-art-products #i do find them tempting #it's neat art okay #nancy drew #clue crew #beyond the games #i guess #i don't have a modern herinteractive tag

in a shocking turn, aabria iyengar, queen of the monsterfuckers, has come out against the sexualization of grimore witch of the wild hunt. i cannot abide this. “i watched the whole thing, it’s not hot” to YOU. to YOU.

#‘like gatorade at the end of a football game’ YEAH and i want her to do that to me! #what’s not clicking #alexa play strangers by ethel cain #worlds beyond number #wbn fireside chat #wbn pod #grimore #aabria iyengar

She had the crowd sing part of the final chorus 🥹

in the nicest and most non-confrontational way possible. i feel like some of you think that anything that isn't directly openly spelled out for you within a story is "missed potential" or "unexplored." like. sometimes there are implied narratives. sometimes the point is that you as the reader are supposed to think and draw your own conclusions and participate in the story. the writers not directly spelling every little detail out for you doesn't mean that the story is poorly written or missed its own plot details somehow. PLEASE.

#if i get one more comment referring to zelda's draconification as wasted potential im going to lose it for real #that's not unexplored potential that is THE ENTIRE STORY. JUST BECAUSE THEY DONT BEAT YOU OVER THE HEAD WITH IT DOESNT MEAN ITS NOT THERE #i get this all the time with just like. link's trauma in general too. #like people will ask me 'do you think they should explore link's trauma more' and im like. they do #that's what the games are about. it's all there. they just don't directly state that that's what they're doing because theyre expecting you #as a reader to ENGAGE WITH THE DAMN TEXT BEYOND SURFACE LEVEL. UGHHHHHHH #WHATEVER. whatever #like i feel like some of you would read the great gatsby and be like #'there was a lot of missed potential to talk about the failure of the american dream' GIRL IT'S RIGHT THERE. JUST THINK A LITTLE #personal #and yeah obviously its not that deep its a video game but like. i am not making shit up when i write my comics and analysis. #I AM ENGAGING WITH THE TEXT. AS IS GENERALLY EXPECTED OF A READER #ugh ok whatever. im done now sorry
