There's a moment in Control's AWE dlc that i really love and its when Jesse takes the elevator and Langston starts talking to her even though she cant respond
His line, "We're SUPPOSED to be on the same TEAM" is so powerful to me and he says it so earnestly like i really just love it, and it made me love his character even more. I hope they do more with him in the next game, and have Jesse address that sort of mentality that the Bureau has
In the same breath, i love the next moment where he just starts GOSSIPING about Darling because 1. I cant get enough of Darling and 2. Theres apparently some drama behind the scenes and i MUST know about
So, I'm running D&D again. And yes, I picked the ecological horror option. And we had a good game, there was a homicidal moose, a near total party wipe, much discussion about nature and the law of the wild.
.
And yet, when I look back on the game, the main image fixed doggedly in my skull is presented below with only the context that our ranger has *opinions* about not being able to eat a moose.
Okay, yknow that endearing facial expression Sonic often makes at Knuckles? I just noticed that he does a similar expression in Sonic 2 during the final battle, it's such a good moment!!🥺💯💙
There's a version of the "don't go grocery shopping while hungry" rule specifically for writers where you should never under any circumstances be allowed to touch your draft within 3 hours of reading a really good story. Because sometimes when you read something great your head goes "fuck this is so much better than my stuff I should make that more like THIS instead!" Look at me. That's the devil talking and you should close the document NOW.
I miss seasons that had 20 episodes and half of them could be cut and nothing would be lost to the story.
I miss the episodes where nothing fucking happens but you get to see the main cast goofing around with one another. You get to see their interactions, their relationships develop, their day-to-day lives and how they all fit together in them.
You get the Christmas/halloween/valentine's special -is it needed? certainly not. but is it good? is it entertaining? does it give the show and characters life? do we, the viewers, enjoy it? YES!
give me long stories!! give me little quarrelling spats between characters that can be resolved in one episode with no need to have an impact on the greater story! make these stories real!
let me enjoy them before they end!!!
I absolutely love Hazbin Hotel and the little world that's been created, but I can't help but feel disappointed we're only getting two seasons of 8 episodes.
back in the early 2000's 16 episodes would have been ONE season, never mind the entire thing.
show my angel dust and husk and nifty and sir penthouse living their daily lives in the hotel! show me Charlie brainstorming ways to redeem sinners! give me Charlie forcing the hotel staff to do cringe-y exercises! give me an entire episode of Vox trying to follow alastor through security cameras! Give me husks typical day! Give me a special through the eyes of nifty on a mission to irradiate the hotel of bugs! Give me sir penthouse and the egg boys up to no good!
give me something other than the bare necessities to make the story flow
6 months have nearly gone by in the hotel, and it feels like 1 month.
