#everything in the game wants to kill him

[silver-horse]

it's been 2 years since grymforge was added to bg3 but every time I post something about Nere here on tumblr or on youtube, people still comment "wait what? I had no idea you can save this guy" and "how do you get this option?" and I explain step by step every time. I guess this is protecting a blorbo since day 1 lmao your online guide for keeping the victorian child alive against all odds

#Protecting a blorbo but not in the sense that you get into fandom bs fights. it's just people asking “heh what? he can live?” and I explain #it's been 2 years since he was added to the game and people don't even notice they can keep him alive 😭 #they don't know they don't need to kill him to save the gnomes and they don't know he can leave the absolute #everything in the game wants to kill him #to the rescue! helping people save blorbo since day 1 #Bg3 mine #Nere #My post #My posts #bg3 #about me #baldur's gate 3 #funny #text post #victorian child #textposts #grymforge

Thinking many many thoughts about how Jean was Riko's partner for a YEAR and was still rooming with Goon #3. Because that was how unwilling Riko was to let go of Kevin. And how that implies that Jean was placed as his partner both because of the practicality of Kevin being gone AND as a punishment for letting him go in the first place. Being partners with Jean could actually slow Riko down depending on how often he's hurt (because I don't think Riko was all that exempt from the rules to the point where his partner's performance would completely not matter) and he was still placed there. Riko was just THAT angry at him over Kevin's escape. And all the while he was keeping Kevin's side of room like an altar, even back when he didn't even think Kevin could PLAY, because of an injury he caused.

#'average aftg fan thinks about Kevins side of the room once a day.' factoid. headboard georg (me) is thinking on it at all times #everything about the perfect court makes me so absolutely insane i am chewing on glass #do you guys think that Jean would still have distracted Riko if he knew Kevin was going to leave? #moreover. do you guys REALLY think Jean didn't at least suspect he was leaving #because tsc is probably going to prove me wrong but I think he would and he knew #anyway. i said it before and i will say it again #the kevriko toxic teen girl homoerotic friendship rizz is unparalleled #riko moriyama the man that you are. they could never make me think you're uninteresting I want to use your brain as a saltshaker #I don't think Riko (or Tetsuji for that matter since he prompted it) ever actually realised what Kevin's injury MEANT. like for real #it wasn't putting him in his place it was destroying the very idea of the perfect court. it was DONE #if Kevin hadn't recovered. if the plot of AFTG hadn't happened. how long would it have taken for Riko to realize #that HE killed the very thing he built his life around and was just dragging it behind him like a corpse (Jean) #kevin day #riko moriyama #jean moreau #the sunshine court #all for the game #the perfect court

"Mister Bashir, what a pleasure it is to finally meet you."

Julian, why in god's name would you invite him to play the villain?

#my art #ds9 #julian bashir #elim garak #star trek deep space nine #garashir #image desc in alt text #pencil #ok so on the outset it may look to some viewers as though julian invited garak to play the villain to get dommed by the scary lizard #this is not the case. not in my heart #in my heart julian felt a burst of something funny when Garak asked him ''what if you'd killed me'' #and he responded ''what makes you think i wasn't trying'' and garaks face blooms into a sudden understanding and respect. ooh. #That's that heady shit. catching garak off guard. ooooh. that's that High Quality Endorphins Happening. but. gotta pack that up for later #(he will not unpack that later) because garak also just threatened to kill 5 of his friends who are STILL IN DANGER. NO TIME FOR THIS. #so after everything. and MONTHS after OMB. he invites garak to something like a playful rematch. sort of. #after all theres only so long that garak can stomach being a sidekick u know? he needs to be able to do his own machinations. #so they make a character for him thats a villain. a little more cerebral than falcon. a little more ambiguous in his motivations. #now there's also. a secret game at play here (there are always games. doctor) and its actually between garak and his own self #you see garak Also wants bashir to defeat his character. he also wants to be shocked. challenged. a little dismantled even (state forbid!) #and because garak wants that for himself? hes going to fight tooth and fucking nail to make sure it doesn't happen. #that Gayle clip from ''COMPANY IS COMING'' but its garak yelling ''WE CAN'T LET THEM KNOW WE [WANT]!!!'' #and its a horrible idea for both of them but. oh so so exciting #you understand. #these rituals arent intricate so much as they are transparent but all encompassing. a fish doesnt know its swimming in water until its out #you understand? you understand. #thank you to anyone who found the time to read these tags i hope you enjoyed yourself and/or found what you were looking for #also garak is dressed so boring bc hes hiding himself u know how it is

Blaming KH2 Sora’s anger and aggression all on Roxas really downplays how ready to throw hands Sora is in KH1 and CoM.

#also ignores rage form in kh3 obviously #but I’m talking about sora pre-roxas #i see this take so much and I’m like convinced ppl don’t pay attention to sora in kh1 or com #or they just take what diz/ansem the wise says about sora needing more anger in his heart at face value #even though ATW never knows what tf he’s talking about #my man was wrong about everything in kh2 why would you believe him #sure roxas unsettled in sora’s heart probably played a part #but it’s not all on him be so serious now #anyway. ppl keep reblogging that post from me even though I’m not the op #keep seeing ‘sora wants to kill so bad’ too #and like #i don’t know how to break this to you but sora has killed already #that’s a pretty significant thing that happens in every game #like i understand where you’re coming from but sora very much has killed people

[makotonaegiunderstander]

something I’ve been thinking abt is how many people think Makoto is immune to despair. I don’t think he is. I think becoming the ultimate Hope was BECAUSE he felt despair. He wouldn’t have fully reached that point without Junko. Makoto becoming such a beacon was his last attempt to avoid completely falling and it wasn’t because he didn’t feel despair, it was because he was too damn stubborn to allow everything to go to waste and he refused to sacrifice his beliefs for someone else’s. His inner monologue tells me he DID experience the same new low the other suvivors did in the final trial, but at the point where he had the choice to give up and die, he looked at the others and he looked at Junko and he couldn’t allow it to happen, not out of self preservation, but because the idea that Junko would have control over their lives made him FURIOUS. and that utter refusal to die kicked in, wether luck or otherwise, and he made the concious effort for one last push while something in him was breaking. He had to be broken in order for the Ultimate Hope to come through so aggressively, bc it could only exist in the face of the Ultimate Despair. He snapped the same way she did, but in the other direction. In what could have been his final moments he chose to embody everything Junko wasn’t, and every single optimistic and luck fueled ideal in him suddenly charged forward and pushed him. It was a combination of the final straw and a choice. Makoto isn’t immune to feeling despair, he’s just too stubborn to fall into it of his own volition. I think that’s why I like that scene in DR3 so much. People were SO SHOCKED Makoto actually fell for the tape, that he actually became despair for a moment. I saw people getting mad or disappointed, saying it was pathetic and Makoto seemed to fall from some sort of pedestal for them. Honestly part of me wonders if that sort of mentality, which clearly people had in universe, affected Makoto a bit. Like he started to see himself as less of a person, subconsciously. Prompting him to take more risks, less self preservation, act way more bold. It seems he has to be reminded a lot not to put himself in danger by his friends, to not do something too reckless. All over the place I would see in regards to that scene either this frivolous ‘oh this was just angst drama with no meaning behind it’ or ‘he can do better than that. he’s so weak’ or ‘come on, there’s no way he’d fall into despair, he’s the Ultimate Hope!’ This kind of mentality, which was kind of ironic considering Ryota was there the entire time saying the same thing and treating Makoto the same way. Like Makoto was superhuman. Like Makoto didn’t feel despair the same way ‘normal people’ did. In a way that was also how Munakata saw Makoto. Makoto stopped being a PERSON to the world when he became Ultimate Hope, he became a concept, a belief system, much the same way Junko ascended beyond herself. But the difference is that treating Makoto that way is the opposite of the reason Makoto became such a representative for hope. He wasn’t doing something no one else could. He was doing something everyone had the chance to, he just… was a little more optimistic, a little more stubborn, a little more ‘gung-ho’ about things. He just took the lead where no one else did, where no one else knew they even COULD in the face of Junko’s unstoppable force. She had overcome the biggest threats and obstacles in the world, what could one person do? And the answer Makoto found was, anything. Everything. It doesn’t all rest on Makoto, he’s just the one that was inspired to try to do what seemed like the impossible. But as evidenced by the change in his friends after that trial, it’s clearly not something only Makoto is capable of. The others pulled out of despair thanks to Makoto, but it was their choice to do so.

“But… this world is so huge, and we’re so small. What can we do…? No, we can probably do anything. Yeah! We can do anything!”

#makoto naegi #Danganronpa character analysis #Danganronpa #danganronpa thh #danganronpa future arc #I fucking love Makoto Naegi man. #I think there’s a fine line of nuance to Makoto that’s easy to miss bc he doesn’t really make it known #he’s not a pushover and he’s not overpowered. he’s a people pleaser but he will say what needs to be said #he’s an immovable object and the exact opposite of Junko but he’s also just a normal guy who’s optimistic and (un)lucky #he isn’t invincible but he has immense power to his words the same way Junko did #if anything his superpower is being kind above all else. he’s compassionate to some of the worst people in the world. #he was even conpassionatr to an extent to Junko. he didnt want her to kill herself despite everything she’s done #and he still acknowledges that for years she was a classmate and friend. #I do think the more he learned abt what she did the more he’s come to actually hate her though #post the first game he always refers to her without a suffix to her name which is one of the most subtle rude things you can do #it means you have zero respect for the person you’re referring to #and he speaks about her with some venom he doesn’t use for anyone else in the future arc #he’s not incapable of feeling negative emotions #I really liked the future arc scene bc it showed that Makoto DID experience enough despair to have overcome him if he didn’t refuse #and that it still affects him deeply. people treat him like he’s either this perfect ideal Chad or this baby chick who’s so delicate #and no one really focuses on how makoto shoulders so much and yet is still vulnerable. #honestly that guy was DUE for a mental breakdown even without the tape. it would have happened eventually #I actually wrote one based on him finally hitting a breaking point after giving so much of himself away and keeping nothing for himself #that his issues that he shoves down constantly finally can’t be held down anymore. Hajime helps him bc he knows how that feels #it was a LONG time ago that I wrote that but honestly if I can remember where i was going w it I might finish it #it was initially an rp but I could make it a fic #anyway. the point is Makoto is SO much more complex than people give him credit for #the most fundamental thing about him is that he’s normal and that’s ok! that’s what helps him rise!

I love horror/thriller/survival manga, but reading them can be so frustrating because there's always that one fuck who acts as a comically evil antagonist who makes things harder for everyone else. This is especially the case in death game/survival manga, which are like contractually obligated to have someone who is unrepentantly evil and fucks over everyone else.

But the protagonists are always like "Noooo, we need to work together with them! If we kill them we'll be just as bad as them!!!" No bitch, gang up on them and fucking murder them lmao. Stop pissing me off.

#if I were in that situation and it's ONE person who keeps ruining everything and wants to kill me I would simply kill them first #like it's one thing if they're just annoying but if they're ACTIVELY villainous and keep hurting people/fucking everyone over #and the characters are in a life or death situation #JUST FUCKING KILL THEM JESUS CHRIST STOP TAKING THE HIGH ROAD LMAO #I'm reading this death game manga right now and it's literally just ONE GUY who is trying to destroy everyone else #and his only weapon is a crowbar #there are like 20 other people and they haven't ganged up on him yet??? what the fuck??? #I may be an optimistic magical girl but I'm also pragmatic as fuck lol #like seriously just fucking kill him your misplaced naivete is not going to save you #manga #rant

like not to turn into a rhack blog for a minute (holy shit this game came out in 2014, does anyone even still ship these two) but. Extremely gay for a guy to try and take over your body, trap you in the crashing space station you’ve sentenced him to die in, insert himself back into your skull just for a chance to choke you out even if it means killing himself in the process, and then get on his knees begging you not to kill him again.

#AND THEN YOU CAN KEEP THE EYE. YOU CAN KEEP HIM. WHAT. #insane choices in this game. what was in the water in the early 2010s. this game. hallucifer arc. #we really had it all when it came to hallucinating a guy until he tries to kill you (and also you love him. just a little. maybe a lot.) #(is it worship or love. is there a difference. he wants to give you a gift. he wants to give you everything. #just hand over your body or you’re being ungrateful.) #Rhys literally ripping his own body parts off in order to get rid of Jack. yeah. yeah. cinema. chef’s kiss. #what’s ending a toxic codependent relationship like if not tearing off your own arm. cutting out your eye. #tftb #rhack #you know what I will tag it. in case anyone out there is still looking. #lmao. I need to read fic of these two again. I love them. what the fuck is wrong with them.

Ask Game AU: Where Nao grow suspicious of her husbands "friend" and his constant need to involve himself in their lives so she does her own investigation of the man.

1- Nao was glad, at first, that Kotaro was befriending people at work. He's always been slow to trust. With this friend, though, he wasn't. Kotaro ended up working later, and when he wasn't, going out to dinner or drinks with his coworker. Nao didn't want to bring anything up, didn't want to discourage him, and it wasn't like she had been abandoned to watch Hana all day by herself- her parents were there, and Kotaro wasn't out every single night. Just a lot of them.

2- Still, she doesn't say anything, until one night, Kotaro is back and in bed next to her, only a bit of wine left on his lips, when he brings up trying for a second child. She stares at him, and he withdraws, but she tells him it wasn't a bad thing- just, she had no idea he was thinking about it. They were both only children, and Kotaro had spent some years in a home with many other kids and didn't speak fondly of the experience. Kotaro tells her his friend brought it up, is all, and Nao nods, but is more worried.

3- Kotaro's office is hardly difficult to find things in. She discovers that he was the one to hire his friend, which she notes is weird, because he never mentions that detail. The address on record for him doesn't seem to be a place someone lives. The numbers on his bank account are... fine. But she doesn't find any trace of him online. She asks a few questions to Kotaro here and there, what his friends qualifications were, where he went to school. He's not even found there, on any list of graduates or alum forums. It's odd. but maybe he is just very private.

4- Hana brings up having a little sibling. Nao asks her if her father said anything, and she says no, they had a substitute teacher that day who'd told some stories and said he used to have a little brother. When Kotaro comes home late from work, he's unaware of what his daughter said when Nao asks if he's been thinking about it still. He says he has, and she says she still doesn't know. Two kids after all is a lot of work. and he's not home very often anymore.

5- Nao looks at the package of pills, the last row of seven, and opens her next box instead. She's done it before, once, for a vacation to the beach. She'd spotted a little then, but this time its more. Her birth control's been tampered with. Kotaro couldn't have done it, she'd just gotten the new box the day before she'd opened it and what'd he know anyway about it? What had that pharmacist looked like? Perhaps it was a defect, something she should notify the manufacturer about. She resolves to do so. Kotaro doesn't eat dinner with them that night, and when she asks how it went, he tells her that his friend told him such a funny story about his little brother, listen, he'll tell her and she'll laugh. She asks about the brother, Kotaro goes quiet and says his friend talked about him in the past tense. He's got enough dead family of his own to not press more than that. But really, the story was funny. Nao thinks about Hana's substitute- but clearly, Kotaro's friend was at work that day, must be another coincidence. In a line of many bad ones. Kotaro asks her if she'd like a second child. Nao thinks she might have, before all this. Now, she isn't sure what she'd like. Instead, she tells him that he barely sees Hana. is he really sure that he wants another kid? Kotaro goes quiet again, realizes she's right. He offers to take the next day off. Nao tells him she just wants him home on time for dinner.

+1- Kotaro agrees, and the next day Nao's parents watch Hana for an hour while she meets with her friend Shirota Akiho at the park. Akiho gives Nao a hug, and an unopened box of birth control. She tells her that her sister Beru's bridal shower is in a few weeks, and she can give her another box then. She agrees everything sounds weird- but Kotaro probably isn't to blame. Nao goes home. Kotaro on time for dinner that day. But he realizes when he reacts to Hana telling him she is playing heroes before bed (and Nao and Hana react to his reaction) that maybe he should spend more time at home before welcoming someone else into it.

#the pharmaceutical company like. tests her packages and is like 'hm yeah must have been an error in manufacturing with that sorry would you #like to settle this out of court' and then they can take another lovely little vacay #and maybe Tenko still comes around just... later #....... maybe two years later. sort of third year age while izuku's a freshman. maybe- #ok post is long enough and im sure afo is going to be plotting more anyway when he realizes his plan backfired #and nao isn't suddenly getting pregnant planned or unplanned and also kotaro is slowly warming up to the idea of his daughter having #fancies of being a hero. she's so young after all its no harm. they can talk more seriously when she's older. he wants to protect that #innocence longer than his own was protected #maybe afo can be fuming about kotaro not dropping everything to go on a date with him that he goes to kill some people to work out his ange #and that leads All Might right to him years early or something #that'd be nice ig #pocket talks to people #anon #ask game #hm. not sure what the warning for garaki tampering with nao's meds should be but if you know let me know #ask to tag

abby might genuinely be one of the most poorly written sympathetic/grey characters ive ever encountered im forever thinking about how they tried to make her some sort of parallel to joel, an actual well written sympathetic/grey character, and fucked it up so badly

#muscles dont make a character interesting lol #she fr did so many ugly things got all her friends killed relished in murder and torture of friends and foes #doesn’t show any remorse doesn’t show at all how years of dreaming of revenge #and then getting it fuck her up like she’s fine lol #her relationship with lev is rushed and it’s 2 days and they want you to believe she’s earned some sort of redemption through him #and beyond all that she’s so bland lol #the writing fucked her over too like she could a) not been the top soldier in her FASCIST militia #and b) they could have spent more time with her and built her an interesting arc that did work as a parallel to joel #if they’d just kept her story separate #neil’s issue was he wanted to do an abby story but he also wanted to make sure ppl who loved ellie and joel bought the game Lmao #so he lied and he tried to ham fist them into the same story and it was a mess #imagine if abby had encountered lev on her way to joel and helped him and through that realised she didn’t need revenge #it wasn’t gonna help #and it could have helped her understand joel’s choice #that could have broken that cycle of violence in a much more interesting way #rather than them completely breaking ellie and taking everything away from her and she still having to be the bigger person lol #abby continues the cycle of violence and is rewarded and redeemed through the narrative #and the person who actually breaks the cycle is the one who loses everything #make it make sense #the last of us spoilers

MAYBE. you could reference the story where richardson calls mine as he's driving to the hospital #the only thing you'd have to exclude though is mine stopping by the bar- like JUST keep the phone conversation maybe #cause in that scene that subordinate does question mine if he can really kill daigo and i think thatd be neat. in my opinion. #yeah i dont know. in regards to rggo its hard to think of what i want without intervening things i already like about y3 #its a real head scratcher ... #a really good epilogue addition would be adapting that RGGO bit where daigo ruminates on mine. that's a fair ending for him i think #it also fulfills the need to see how daigo saw mine even if its just a little #and to non-rggo readers it could start to answer 'how does daigo feel about everything that happened' #im still so curious as to if daigo was briefed on EVERYTHING that happened but .... anyways.... #sorry all my hopes for y3 are just mine/minedai centric fLVKELKA BUT LIKE. i really am content with everything else with y3 surprisingly #idk. i want kiryu fucking up that curry in high definition tho. thats important to me #THEY HAVE TO KEEP THE QTES DURING THE RICHARDSON FIGHT ILL BE PISSED #i need the fight to be AS CAMPY and unnecessary as it was in the og.

Yet another reason why AM is the best written route! Billy never angsts about Supreme Leader in that route, the only times they say something positive about her is to comfort Dimitri, which is completely logical given they're close to him but barely know her in this route.

Sunday's salty answer is : Billy doesn't need to angst about Supreme Leader, Dimitri does it already and it's nigh unbearable

I've already mentionned it, but to me, AM's message of "drop vengeance for acceptance" falls completely flat because... Dimitri doesn't accept everything that makes Supreme Leader, well, Supreme Leader, WC is obliterated from everyone's memory and all is well that ends well.

Dimitri won't even ask what Thales is to her, or why she was working with him for her "ideals", or why Duscur happened (both the Tragedy and the following massacre), or where is Rhea/why was she caught, or why Supreme Leader thinks Flayn's race is what makes her unable to "rule over the people", etc etc.

That's why I prefer TS's Roland, both in his route and the golden one, he reluctantly accepts to put his revenge aside and not kill Gustadolph on spot, he still hates him but also wants to stop the bloodshed for the sake of Glenrbook/Norzelia.

Sure, Dimitri's AM arc is to learn to live for himself, so to stop pushing his feelings aside for the sake of his people and embrace them : he cannot still hold hatred against her but move on for the Kingdom, so the devs had him... not feel hatred at her at all? Drop all of his grievances and only end up fighting her because he has to stop her war and their views are not compatible at all?

Dimitri? Bleeding Heart Dimitri?

What would he feel if he saw the rooms where people were waiting in before being transformed in War Assets ? Or would he feel the same feeling of sadness because "their ideals" forces him to stop her, if Supreme Leader told him Flayn, because of her race, has no regards for human life? Or if she told him Dedue's sister and entire family were "necessary sacrifices" because her ideals needed Duscur to happen?

We have the entire sobfest "I have to kill her because our ideals are not compatible and we will not see eye to eye to end this war :'(" and no "I have to kill her to end this war and to bring justice for all those suffered and are still suffering due to her selfish war".

In a way we have boar!mitri being BaD because he wants not just to kill, but to murder her, and King!mitri being GoOd because now he doesn't want to kill her, but has to because their ideals are clashing and he has to end her war :'(

Fun for thought -

Imagining Supreme Leader somehow survives AM and Dimitri doesn't want to kill her, what happens?

Naesala only escapes death because Tibarn ultimately knows about the Blood Pact, bcs herons and bcs Naesala makes amends and decides to atone.

Assuming Rhea is found in the state she's in at the end of SS/VW, would the CoS want her execution?

If the truth about Duscur and Agarthans is revealed (but unlike Naesala, Supreme Leader willingly helped the people who tortured her and in turn called the following people who were tortured "necessary sacrifices"), on top of the current War and Cornelia, given how she helped and abided by her Agarthan associates, and started the war, and sacrificed her own people to create War Assets... Would Faerghus/whoever's in charge of Leicester (Erwin) and Adrestians themselves want her alive?

What would she become? Exiled from Fodlan? Executed? Put in permanent House Arrest in a manor?

#anon #replies #this game has 5 routes non connected to each other because WC is totally one lol #AM works in a nutshell #but not as the following story of WC #at least Nopes had her tell him it was Thales who did everything #so it can be explained why she's out of his radar a little bit #but in Houses? he doesn't want to know what happened to Duscur? how can you bring justice to the people of duscur and clean their name #if you don't care about who framed them to begin with? who knew they weren't responsible and who was hired to actually kill Lambert? #FE16 #well crap now it's salty monday lol
