wild to me to see posts like "wow everything in the tempest is named after shakespeare...emet you melodramatic bitch you sure loved theater". because the prospero-emet thing gets played up so hard in the english script and you can carry it so far!

like prospero is an asshole magician who, after being deposed by his brother as duke of milan, settles himself and his daughter on a remote island, enslaves the local spirits using his magic, and bitterly plots to reclaim his past glories. he rules through violence and deceit, and only survives and is reconciled when his plots reach their fruition and his brother is taken to his remote island and plots ensue and everyone decides he was totally right all along and they were huge dicks to him and they're sooooo sorry and he gets to go back and be duke again wow! and it's okay because he's like "i was only doing mean magic to get my rightful spot back and now i'm giving it up because magic is evil. :)"

the tempest is what emet wants his life to be. prospero is not a villain in the text of the tempest. he is barely treated as antagonistic by the text and framing of the play itself. all his abuses, his neglect and control of his daughter, his enslavement of caliban and ariel (local spirits/monsters/people of the island), his deception and plots against his brother, his abuse of magical powers (not awesome, from the pov of the contemporary audience), all that ultimately gets swept aside in the rightness of his return to milan and the warm feeling of the world being set to rights. prospero can't undo the years he spent on the island but they are ultimately a blip in his life before he returns to the rightful state of affairs. his abuse and enslavement of caliban, easily the worst thing he does in the play, is totally set aside when caliban goes "wow now i see how truly benevolent my master is. i love him and see the ways of christian good and i'm so, so appreciative he chose not to kill or beat me even though he totally could have and would have been in the right. he's so just and intelligent." everyone loves and forgives him and they all agree both his management of the island and his ultimate return are so good and so wise and so right.

emet comparing himself to the tempest (or being compared to it, depending on how you want to read the diegetic status of the place names) is absolute wishcasting. it is an attempt to manifest the happy ending he will never, ever get because his sins cannot and would not be forgiven in the way he wants. he wants to imagine himself as the righteous returned duke whose crimes, including the enslavement, abuse, and exploitation of those he saw as his rightful inferiors, were totally worth it, i promise. and if emet is prospero, the warrior of light is his caliban.

#emet-selch #ffxiv #hades #shadowbringers spoilers #like by the time you get to the end you've already spoken to the amaurotine shades and hythlodaeus in particular #it's incredibly clear that even if emet's plans come to fruition he is *utterly alien to the world he is trying to restore* #and like prospero is restored in the end. but his wife is still dead. miranda grew up isolated and alone. #also to take a somewhat more jaundiced view #the things he did to caliban and to ariel can never be undone. that stain is with him forever. #and i mean even IF you can just yank all those souls right out of zodiark and fix the whole thing #there's still everyone who died before the first sacrifice and after the second. also THE VOID IS THE VOID. #'yeah uh we'll just fix that. when zodiark is up and running properly.' #sure dude i totally believe your expertise on the problem you caused by not knowing enough. you definitely know enough now. #anyways he can't waver for even a moment bc it means acknowledging he has betrayed everything he ever claimed to believe in due to his grie #he is in blood stepped so far etc. if i can be allowed to mix my shakespeares #emet-selch more like emet-sunk cost fallacy

hey gang i’m super tired and running on several cups of coffee right now working on an article. anyways, you think boycunt vox tastes like blue gatorade?

#kill me somebody #put me to sleep #i have coffee stains on my upper lip #it’s like a milk mustache but uglier #journalism is killing me #this is literally the easiest major in the word #SEND ME HEADCANONS TO MAKE ME FEEL BEETER PLEASE #oh i’m talking about his pussy juice btw #was that #was that clear

i think the funniest thing about me as a person is that i'm often a nervous wreck and terrified of trying new things or screwing up, but my disrespect for authority is so strong that the second someone tries to suggest that i can't do something because they won't let me or don't believe i'm capable of it, it completely overwrites my anxiety and makes me determined to prove them wrong right then and there. unfortunately combined with my general impulsiveness and impatience this used to make me very easy to manipulate if you understood this about me as well as leading me to take some really stupidly dangerous risks (until i started working on my self awareness and critical thinking), but it did also lead to several very funny moments in my life where someone misplaced a lot of confidence in my inability to fight back and got their shit rocked when i stepped up and called their bluff.

#🐉 #reverse psychology is my greatest weakness even when im aware of it theres a part of me that wants to go against it #just to prove that i can #however it does come in handy when people assume i wont fight them after i warn them i will if they overstep a boundary ive made clear #and they cross the line anyway and get the shock of their life when i lash out in self defence #although im trying to work on nonviolent deescalation and walking away because thats not a sustainable way to defend myself #and could get me in a lot of trouble. so. #like yeah i gave them a fair warning but at the end of the day if someone tells you i bit them and has a circle of teeth marks #on their hand and theres visible blood staining my teeth no amount of 'well i did warn them' is #gonna get me off the hook and stop me from being perceived as the bad guy in that scenario. especially if there are no witnesses.

This scene is somewhat familiar if you've seen the '98 anime, but here it's also harkening back to an earlier manga scene with Wolfwood:

Moreover, the character Legato threatens to strong-arm Vash into killing him is not Meryl, but Wolfwood's friend Livio. Wolfwood always presented something of a realist middle path compared to Vash and Knives. Violence is wrong, but sometimes necessary to protect yourself, or to protect others. He cynically suggested that one day, Vash would encounter a situation where he couldn't resolve things peacefully, and would have to choose between murder and letting someone die. Up until his death, Vash proved him wrong. But now we're here, and the scene is as much about Wolfwood's philosophy as it is about Vash's.

Ultimately, Vash can't let Livio die. Again, similar to the anime, except that Vash sees a vision of Wolfwood that prompts him to shoot. I get the feeling that "I couldn't bear to let that go to waste" is about more than Livio's life.

When Wolfwood was on death's door, he chose to sacrifice himself to save Livio. Now that Vash is on death's door, he chooses to dirty his hands to save Livio.

#bigun blogging #still ruminating on what the ash is doing here... #like his coat getting stained when he's contemplating killing is a fairly on-the-nose metaphor for dirtying your hands imo #but then he breaks his rule just once to save livio and it flakes off turning red again. where red = determination and love #I don't have anything concrete. but it's interesting. #clearing out my drafts #trigun

Zero Mission: Slight detour toward the end, but Samus is doing well.

Prime: Momentary bittersweetness, but Samus is doing well.

Echoes: Despite everything, the day was saved. Samus is doing well.

Corruption: The day was saved, but at a cost. Samus is... alive.

Return Of Samus: An ugly, yet hopefully necessary task, offset by a small ray of hope at the end. Samus is not doing well.

Super: That hope was delivered... and then immediately stolen, warped and mutated, and then killed. The last Metroid is dead. The galaxy is (not?) at peace. Samus is not doing well.

Fusion: Actions have consequences, and the consequences for extinction have shown themselves. Samus has lost nearly everything familiar and comfortable, with only the ghost of an old friend found instead. Samus is not doing well.

Dread: New bullshit after new bullshit, piled higher and higher and higher. Samus is not doing well, but that doesn't matter, because Samus is fucking done.

#not a reblog #metroid #samus aran #just thinking about her unending #(well deserved) #scream of primal rage at the end of dread #and the way she tore Raven Beak to fucking shreds #and it got me looking back and noticing #the very clear dividing line #between the chronologically earlier games #and the games where Samus's life has gone to shit #and how that line is Metroid 2 #the act of genocide #even against a species so deadly and sought-after for all the wrong reasons #ultimately stained the galaxy in more blood #than if they'd been left alone #and even Samus making the right choice at the end #was too little too late #to undo the slaughter that preceded it #Metroid 2 really was her darkest hour in a lot of ways #and both remakes didn't quite capture that

#tomgreg #succession #successionedit #do u like what i did with the 'i fear' #>:)c #i'm trying to not be completely delusional #i don't know just how much greg fears staining tom as of yet #let's manifest that he fears it more than anything #the last pic is like. times tom gave up something of himself to make greg feel better btw if that wasn't clear #anyway there's probably more like this coming #i love to be in pain #and they are so fucking poetic

i love it when people put stickers on their ds and it looks so cute... i can never because i have sticker anxiety (afraid it might look wrong and i try to peel it but the sticker is wasted now i cant put it back and oh no this is a gift from your aunt overseas you wasted it forever now she's never gonna buy you cute stickers anymore that you never put on anything)

I totally feel the same way! I get worried because I'm a bit of a collector and I wanna keep it in "mint condition" (Even though I use my DS's regularly and they are covered in scratches...)

So, it makes me cringe a bit when I see stickers on a DS, because I get sad about the fact that it's no longer "pure" or whatever. On the other hand, I've seen DS's in wayyy worse states... so maybe I need to get over myself LOL

Either way a well loved DS's >>>>>> mint condition ones IMO. What's the point in owning it if you aren't going to use it!

#I had to clean a white DS with a giant dark orange stain that got between the clear plastic and the white plastic along the seams #Apparently some kid spilt juice on it circa 2005 and I was cleaning it in 2020... #15 year juice. #Shockingly it didn't stain!! #asks #FYI!! i'm not judging anyone who puts stickers on their DS- It's totally okay and often looks adorable!!!!!!!!

yippee! more cog ocs!

this is toady, my bossbot. my greaseball

true to his name, hes a huge sycophant. sucks up to anyone important enough to warrant it and is a massive narc on everyone else in the workplace. is at his most confident when standing slightly behind a much larger and scarier cog. generally unpleasant to work with and not very popular in his workplace

he runs a small management firm inside cogs inc (black lotus asset handling) which only employs him. but it sounds better on paper to have a business name to sign under, yknow. hes actually really good when he gets to flex his management and task distribution skills he just rarely gets a chance because hes a pain in the butt to work with

also yes he is my cartoon peter lorre expy so please imagine everything he does with the voice and mannerisms

#alloyart #toontown #toontown cogs #cogs #cog oc #toonblr #toontag #the cartoon staple of having a weird simpering little beast who is a clear peter lorre parody is like. my favourite ever. #so many of my fav characters in games/cartoons have That Vibe going on #and ive been watching a lot of old b/w films of the man himself so its all fresh in the brain I suppose #anyway. toady hates ties and wont wear them if he doesnt have to. hes almost always a little oil-stained. #like. if you shook his hand it'd be weirdly slick and you'd realize. oh ew thats oil. where did that come from #i love him a lot and i am unfortunately attracted to this type of man. robot. frog. you know
