#but they DIDN’T

[aurore-dupin]

I’m deeply normal about Ema Skye so here’s some thoughts about her design and Phoenix.

When we meet her in her first design she has her bow that is a design reference to Lana’s scarf. And like you’d think that if you would bring the character back you’d put more Edgeworth design influences on her, because of her affection for him. In the Investigations series, however, she is in a red tie like Phoenix (the tie is striped but you see where I’m going). In her AA4 design, now that Phoenix is disbarred, she completely looses almost all blue from her design switching to a green waistcoat instead. I say almost because she still has her hydrogen button and it’s blue.

Because the one thing she keeps is the one that matches something that Phoenix always has, the Oxygen pin that she gave him to record.

#ace attorney #ema skye #aa4 #rise from the ashes #phoenix wright #they could’ve kept leaning into her pink design elements #but they didn’t #they took away her Phoenix blue on purpose when he looses his badge and makes her green with envy #she should’ve gotten her blue waistcoat back in Spirit of Justice but Phoenix actually took the one she was gonna wear lmao #anyway queen will keep thinking about an Edgeworth-ified Ema design

I think it’s such a waste to spend all that time making archie understand that he can explore a man’s body and then not have him end up dating the other man in his polycule. I mean they never say he’s not dating jughead, betty just never tells us if they fuck. They could very well fuck but that’s not her business. Maybe she didn’t want to out gay archie

#riverdale #jarchie #if they said everyone is dating except archie and jughead I would have taken it #but they didn’t #so I get to interpret that as an ambiguous gay relationship

thoughts on best boy The Spot?

SUCH A GOOD VILLAIN.

When he’s a lighthearted probably-just-a-villain-of-the-week, he’s hilarious. I particularly loved him begging the store owner not to fight him off with a bat because this is his first robbery, please don’t make this a bad experience for him. He’s never done this before! It’s like he’s apologetic for the robbery being so inefficient, not the crime itself. His insistence that he’s Miles’s Nemesis instantly reminded me of The Panda Redd’s Lord Death Man videos. Him innocently saying “Oh, I love chai tea!” after Pavitr’s rant and Pav screaming “No!” and attacking him cracked me up. Despite his supervillain nemesis dreams, he’s so… polite and affable. Almost Doofenschmirtz-esque at times. Tell me Doof wouldn’t apologize in the exact same way for the “I came to India on a journey of self-discovery” faux pas.

I love that he’s the bagel guy. I treasure that moment with its bagel sound effect and I’m so glad they brought it back. He would cry so hard watching Everything Everywhere All at Once.

But the fact that he’s intertwined with Miles’s origin story and each of their superpowered conditions are unintended consequences of the other’s actions is highly relevant to the narrative, where the rippling consequences of your actions are a major theme. It’s kind of a fundamental Spider-Man thing, after all. It’s genuinely unsettling when he begs/demands Miles to look at him, really see him, and take him seriously. Even if he then literally kicks his own butt. It hits a lot harder after we see how isolating and distressing being an anomaly is to Miles himself. You can understand why Spot would obsess over their connection. Him starting out laughable and growing to be epic is an echo of Miles’s development in the first film - complete with a mostly black appearance upgrade when he gets the hang of it.

The tone blending is so masterful with him because he is also, somehow so scary. When he stops acting silly and friendly, it’s chilling. His powers are terrifyingly effective and dangerous and it seems like he hasn’t even fully unlocked their potential by the end of the movie. His appearance is silly (“Are you some sort of Cow Man?”) until it’s not; until it sinks in that he is a reality-rending cosmic abomination full of resentment, pain and spite, and his lack of a face or even eyes makes him feel more disturbingly eldritch than cartoonish. I cannot wait to see what he’s capable of in Beyond, and I hope the beautiful imagery puts Lovecraft to shame.

#you know how the human brain is programmed to identify and identify with faces? #how we see eyes in literally any two shapes next to each other? #they could have given spot two holes on his face (not even level!) or a smaller eye-sized hole #but they didn’t #to deny him even that most basic human connection #i love that! #but also #he really was just naked the whole time #sir. SIR. put some clothes on #forget the robbery you’re charged with public indecency #atsv #atsv spoilers #spider-man atsv #the spot #atsv spot #atsv the spot

Ghosts

“You agreed.” The hero muttered, shutting their eyes. “You agreed to stay away, to stop doing this.”

“You should know better than to make deals with me, love.” The villain’s voice floated through the hero’s ears, making it impossible to tell where they were really coming from.

But it didn’t really matter, the source of the voice, because the hero wouldn’t look anyways.

“Open those pretty eyes for me, hm?”

It was almost easier when the hero was alone. There was no one to cast sympathetic eyes whenever they went pale, no one to call them crazy, no one to force a doctor’s visit.

They weren’t crazy, they didn’t need a doctor, and they didn’t need sympathy, they needed the villain to uphold their end of this bargain.

“I did you your favor. Leave me be, please.” The last part came out as just a whisper.

“And I am grateful for you, truly. Don’t misunderstand this as me being petulant. I’m simply finding the best way to repay you.”

“I don’t need to be repaid!” They, slammed their hand against the wall, and opened their eyes in a mad fury, wishing immediately that they didn’t.

The villain’s ghostly form shimmered in front of the hero, smiling.

“There are those pretty eyes.”

“What do you want!” The hero snarled. “Why won’t you leave me alone?”

“I already told you, I want to thank you in full. Now that I’m ‘dead’,” The chuckled, the inside joke amusing to them at the hero’s expense. “I live how I please. I would like the same for you.”

“This is how I please.”

The villain frowned, and disappeared, though their disembodied voice lingered.

“Liar. I see the way they look at you, full of pity. Would you like me to make it stop?”

“It’s because of you. Yes, I want you to make it stop, I want you to go away.”

Silence, and for a foolish moment, the hero thought that the villain might have honored their wish.

“They don’t quite seem the same anymore, do they?”

A foolish moment.

“Regardless of how heroic the act is, you still killed someone, you still killed me, and that makes them look at you, not just with pity, but with fear.”

“I didn’t kill you!”

“But they don’t know that.”

The villain appeared in front of the hero once more, causing them to jump, backing away from their nemesis.

But then there were hands on their shoulders, gripping them tightly.

The hero couldn’t help the heavy breathing, the involuntary shutting of their eyes.

“Another trick, another abuse of your ability. You aren’t here. You aren’t really here.”

“You’re so alone these days, aren’t you, love?” The villain’s voice right above the hero’s ear. “You can’t live as you please, not while they watch you the way they do. But if you were dead like me…”

“Stop it!”

“You would be free. I’ll make it stop for you, love, the pitying eyes and the fearful glances, I’ll make it all stop. This city will weep for what they once had.”

“I don’t want–!”

“Hush.”

The hero fell limp as the villain’s form fully solidified to hold them.

“You’ll find being dead the most freeing experience one can have. And you will get to watch these disgusting humans grovel beneath you as terror reigns. All the while, we’ll be ghosts.”

Weebs on twitter are so annoying.

“Why are you calling the characters from digimon their English names? The dub sucks and it ruined the franchise in the west!”

Who gives a fuck? In the end of the day, it’s how people were introduced into the franchise and became long time fans of it! I get it. You want to feel special for reading subs and watching it like a real Japanese person or whatever you stupid weebs think but no one fucking cares that you hate dubs and think it “ruins” the anime. It just makes you look like a loser.

As far as dubs for kids go, digimon was one of the good ones and people still can call the characters by their English names. I’m pretty sure toei is still using those names for the new dub, so what is the fucking problem other than your a weeb?

#mine #anti weebs #It’s a stupid thing to get angry over #I would understand if they changed the name to something stupid like with precure #but they didn’t

So I’ve recently watched Good Omens and I really like them using so many Queen songs for the soundtrack, but how come they didn’t play „Death on two legs“ when the literal Death got introduced; like c‘mon.

#queen #Freddie mercury #good omens #Amazon #Neil #neil gaiman #Neil gayman? #aziraphale #Crowley #death #the four horsemen #death on two legs #puns #tumblr #funny #memes #they could’ve made such a great pun #but they didn’t #aziraphale x Crowley #gay

was completely mystified for days by my cousins being like “let’s watch a movie!” and then BOTH OF THEM proceeding to stare at their phones throughout the entire film, glancing at the screen only whenever the dialogue or a musical cue implied that something Important was happening, only to realize that the issue is that modern films don’t rely on nearly as many purely visual elements as older films did, so my poor cousins missed over 50% of the jokes because i didn’t think to warn them that, when watching films directed by people who got their start before films had dialogue, you actually need to WATCH them to understand what is happening.

#realized this AS i was reading a review of the film i watched tonight and suddenly it ALL clicked #the visual gags were their favorite parts too - they just didn’t know they missed at least 90% of them 😂😂 #i mean. personally i put everything aside when watching a film regardless of when it came out #which DOES sometimes result in me getting bored #but like. tough cookies. that’s what i signed up for #it’s not a YouTube video. it’s not an audiobook. it’s not a podcast. #you have to WATCH it #if you don’t want to watch a movie then that’s cool #but don’t say you do and then look at your phone the whole time - ya know? #i feel like i’m gonna have to start clarifying this with people beforehand #because i DO have movies i would put on if people’s mileage was ‘vaguely entertaining background noise for my phone scrolling’ #but you’re not getting one of the Good Ones if that’s all you’re looking for #not even because i’m being judgey but because it fails to fulfill that purpose #they’re films that require your full attention #so if you can’t give them that - they won’t give anything back to you #i think that’s fair to say #oh also meant to mention that my cousins have degrees in theater and art respectively #so i just assumed they would inherently Get this #but they DIDN’T #and i was Not Prepared

Ok so i’m pirating the Percy Jackson series and can i just say, i really like the way Sally Jackson is characterized. Like, she’s not the perfect mom who’s always happy, but instead she’s insecure and reactive. She yells sometimes, she cries sometimes, and she gets upset when Percy keeps pushing her buttons. and the best part is, the show doesn’t try to blame anyone for this. It’s not her fault for yelling at Percy, and it’s not Percy’s fault for making her yell. And despite it all, they still love each other so much.

#she reminds me so much of my own mom and it fucking gets to me #stabs me in the heart and tear ducts #and like. they could’ve made her out to be a terrible mom #or made percy out to be a terrible child #but they didn’t #because it’s nobody’s fault #they’re just flawed people #like everyone else #sorry didn’t mean to vent or whatever #i say things sometimes #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians

This is niche as I’m unsure of the crossover between Ghost fans and Emigrate fans but the fact that the song “I’m Not Afraid” by Emigrate doesn’t say ft. Tobias Forge it very specifically says Ft. Cardinal Copia, it seems to imply that Richard exists in the Ghost universe

#ghost the band #emigrate #it’s a funny thought to have #cause like they absolutely could have just used tobias forge #but they didn’t

the reason hoyo didn’t give childe his fight with clorinde is because she would’ve kicked his fucking ass

#like if wanted to they could of just done the fight and have childe win #but they didn’t #because he’s a coughing baby and she’s a bomb #i said what i said #genshin impact #fontaine #they couldn’t like childe die he’s hoyo’s favourite

Ok but am I the only one who think that the egg event won’t end?

#it’s not an event anymore #they’re part of the server #like I would think that they’re trying to end it if they stopped adding more eggs but #they keep adding more #and therefore prolonging the so called event #hell I think that if they truely wanted it to end #then they would have done it the day that the Brazilians arrived #that would have been the best time for it #but they didn’t #qsmp #qsmp eggs

all the people whining and crying about bad ‘messing up the canon’ need to close their eyes and take a little breather … come on now follow me .. breathe in ……………….. breathe out

#literally #the admins could have just banned them from the server until purgatory is over #but they didn’t #and no one cares #bc if there is a problem in lore they can literally just communicate and retcon it #like 😭😭😭 #bad telling pomme and richas that their parents are alive isn’t going to mess anything up #they’re still stuck on the island #pomme and richas still don’t know how they truly were bc bad was shielding them from that truth #it’s just so funny like why are you this upset over a non problem #discourse #fandom neg #fandom crit

[sniped-hugger]

how do you think the guy would react once everything they did catches up to them :3

I mean. They’re aware of what they’re doing all the time so they’re kind of in a constant state of “Everything’s Bad All The Time And I’m The Reason Why”

They are unfortunately!!! A terminal double downer!!! There is no such thing as them taking reasonable accountability for their actions and try to make a change for the better. They’re either in the right the entire time or they’re dead

This is the unhealthy mindset that led them here ,:] Any and all guilt they may or may not feel ever is “Objectively Incorrect Emotions” and something they don’t process ever

#answering #The Guy #they’re pretty sad at points sure #but they don’t make choices in which they can be viewed as a good person #they’re sympathetic!!! They feel bad!!! They’re gay as fuck!!! They get attached!!! #but at the end of the day they make bad choices that lead them to continuing their never ending spiral of making it all worse for themself #and others around them #and for what? Revenge? #that got that a long ass time ago #it was a mistake in the first place they couldn’t cope with #so they never did #they doubled down and they haven’t stopped #they could’ve done so before they got to where they are and could’ve come out of it better #they could’ve come out of this at any time before the murders got serial and become someone better and happier #but they didn’t #they made the choice to say they were right for what they did and they’d do it again in a heartbeat #and they chose to prove that to themself #again and again and again and again #and now they’re here #stuck being the villain of everyone’s story #including their own #so… #if the ask/rp blog ever gets made get excited to explore “what if they didn’t actually” if you manage to go that path

it’s almost 6am and the rain has kept me awake for hours and ???? i just totally?? forgot?? that there was no destiel kiss in the confession scene. stupid as hell

#i was just thinking about the endless tirade actors and higher ups are still on that the confession wasn’t romantic #and was like. well buddy. why’d you make them kiss then #but they didn’t #the scene was just so overwhelmingly romantic and tragic that it feels like there was one there #anyways. sleepy
