I hope Enstars game MVs can improve on their expressions someday because one of Rock Roar anime mv’s strengths is its expressions. Not because they are cool to look at, but because they communicate how the characters are feeling towards the songs and eachother

Take for instance Keito. In the anime, he sings the song with a angry expression. It’s because he is desperate. He needs his Deadmanz plan to work. He needs to use the great Rei Sakuma to succeed. He has a lot of stakes singing this and that’s why he looks so desperate. In contrast, Rei is more laidback. He has probably already figured out a loophole to Keito’s plan. He is performing like the talented idol everyone views him as

The in game mv softens Keito’s expressions. He looks more calm, similar to Rei

Both Koga and Rei have moments where they have a wide-eyed grinning expression that fit the song they are performing. It makes it seem like Koga is mimicking Rei, the guy he looks up to. It also suggests that Koga and Rei are more inclined to perform rock songs like this given how their facial expressions work naturally with this song

Also while not necessarily an example of facial expressions, I wish the in game MV had kept these moments in. Rei and Koga compliment each other in this performance. One of the few times Keito doesn’t have a tense expression in this mv is when he looks at Kuro. It makes sense given the future of the characters, but we actually get to see which set of characters work well with eachother before Deadmanz splits off. It’s a cool detail that I appreciate

Overall, Rock Roar in game MV could be improved upon if it kept the intense expressions the original had. They’re not just visually appealing, but they add a lot to the story of Crossroad as a whole

#enstars #deadmanz #kuro kiryuu #keito hasumi #koga oogami #rei sakuma #also rock roar in game mv has slower camera movements #like zooms pans etc #whereas #the anime mv has quicker movements which match the momentum of the song #and more cuts #death game holic in game mv has a similar problem OKAY CINEMATOGRAPHY SPIEL OVER

So I know the quality sucks and we don't get any better quality to compare, but I just wanted to point out that, yes. Baby Carlo has freckles. Very few of them. But you can see the ones he had since he was a wee young lad standing out in his painting.

Go ahead and go into the game and stand in front of the portrait. Compare their faces. I'll wait c:

Here's a full/clean version of his portrait if you want to stare at it

So anyways like I was saying before--

#Lies of P #Lies of P Spoilers #The one my eyes immediately zoom in on... is the one right on his lip #Unmistakable little dark speck on his wittle lip ;; ;; just wanna poke it and give him cookies he is so baby I cry #But yeah. My whole thing from before yadda yadda children with brown eyes and clearer skin #developing blue ones and getting more freckles as they age blah blah y'know the drill LOL #This is mostly being done because I really hate the fact that people are like “Umm actually? He doesn't look that way.” on people's stuff #and being rude to others over it. So. Here's your proof. And if you don't like it? Sorry lmao #go into the game and stare at the painting. Tell me what you see. You'll see the faint freckles. #I don't care how people draw Carlo and honestly any interpretation is valid and very cute and very good #But do not bully others with false info because of a singular bad ending showcase of “Carlo” lol #That's all!! I'm done rambling in the tags!!! Smells mildly salty sorry LOL just. Y'know. Enjoy the damn game y'all. #And enjoy every version of this lad. Visual and written. We are given GIFTS by this fandom. Enjoy them!!

☕️the most egregious problem The Flash has is that it literally NEVER ADDRESSES ANY of the trauma it consistently puts Barry and co through, like it has other problems but I think that's the worst lol

1000000% and I will die mad about it.

Since it’s (always) on my mind, let’s take season 2 for example shall we?

If I had a nickel for everytime Post-Zoom-trauma just disappeared at the drop of a hat, I’d have four nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s fucking INFURIATING THAT IT HAPPENED F O U R TIMES

The four (for lack of a better word) victims in question: Caitlin, Barry, Jesse, and Jay.

Caitlin: kidnapped and held against her will for (I believe) two weeks (that’s putting it simply but we’ve all seen the show so🤷‍♀️). The show gives her one single episode to deal with it, during which she shows very real symptoms of PTSD— solved and therefore ignored and glossed over entirely with a single pep talk. I would also like to add that she showed NO fear of him in the season finale which makes no fucking sense with what the show established only an episode earlier. But tbh, this is the best one because at least the show ACKNOWLEDGED that trauma; if only for one episode.

Barry: Back broken during first encounter (among other severe injuries), humiliated by being dragged around the city to show he wasn’t strong enough to stop Zoom, confidence shattered from the experience. Like Caitlin, we got one episode to deal with this trauma and in that episode, Barry also showed signs and symptoms of PTSD (the entire season is evidence tbh). But of course, one pep talk from his dad and everything’s magically ok :-D !!!!!! I’m going to eat glass (also I will definitely make a post on that fucking episode because I hate it). As mentioned; he continues to have PTSD symptoms throughout the season but it’s glossed over so much and attributed to generic-superhero-stuff™️ that it really doesn’t matter. Gods, I could go on all day about Barry’s post-Zoom AND post-Thawne trauma. (Oh, he was also kidnapped, threatened, and {borderline} tortured by Zoom in the Earth-2 episodes; but that’s all normal superhero stuff ofc so it doesn’t matter right :-D !!! gnawing at the bars of my enclosure)

Jesse: Good gods where do I even start. Kidnapped by a known serial killer, tortured by said serial killer, repeatedly and (probably) constantly threatened with death, and held captive for around 9-10 months. Mm also, she was clearly terrified of Zoom every time he showed up prior to her rescue. Sounds like an extremely traumatic experience with multiple opportunities and instances to develop PTSD right? WRONG! According to the lovely writers; people are completely fine after a traumatic experience is over! What’s PTSD??? chewing glass chewing glass chewing glass. They didn’t even TRY with her, at least with Barry and Caitlin they pretended to give a shit about what they went through but Jesse makes two things crystal clear. 1) The writers don’t care about your trauma unless you’re an MC. 2) The writers put minimal effort into trauma if any; MC or not. It’s like they said ‘Ooo, we should have Caitlin kidnapped by Zoom!’ ‘Won’t that have some sort of effect on her? Being kidnapped is a terrifying experience’ ‘Ah fuck you’re right… eh, we’ll give her one episode ig’ ‘What about Jesse?’ ‘Who?’

Jay: Fucking. Hell. I ordered this in what I consider best handled to worst. Jay is by far— handled worst. Let’s see here *checks notes* Ah yes. Kidnapped and taken to a completely different Earth, an attempted theft of his powers, imprisoned and put in a mask so he can’t speak, {not confirmed but very likely with Zoom’s track record and somewhat implied} tortured, had his identity stolen and {likely} mocked and tormented about the subject, and the ~delightful~ cherry on top— held captive in this situation for at least one year. Fuck I’m so tired. Anyways; there’s not much to say. He got rescued (off-screen ofc), was able to access his powers instantly with no problems, and left to go back to his Earth. Trauma? What trauma? *gestures wildly at said trauma posted above* That’s not traumatic at all! *screams* I don’t care how much experience you have as a superhero— that doesn’t just GO AWAY! PTSD, FLASH WRITERS. LOOK INTO IT P L E A S E fuck I just remembered the show is over now ALL YOUR MC’S HAVE IT! EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Sigh. In the end of *gestures at said trauma* all that, Jay was just used to cause Barry more greif from his father’s death. Obviously he gets roles in later seasons but (as far as I can remember) this whole thing was never brought up again. Sigh.

I COULD GO ON

I COULD GO ON FOR DAYS

but I won’t cause dear gods I’ve been typing forever now

#wow #that got long #anyways: you are absolutely correct and thank you for saying it #the flash #the flash trauma #the flash and trauma #post zoom trauma #caitlin snow #barry allen #jesse wells #jay garrick #the flash season 2 #tbh I almost wonder if the writers were trying to gloss over Zoom a bit. like. the realized what a monster that character truly was and #didn’t want to deal with the consequences of everything he did #cause they touched on /some/ post-Thawne trauma. #just a thought #asks #☕️ ask game #vexic #thank you for the ask and sorry for the ramble lmao

I see where you're coming from, but also blorbo is different to everyone and we all had different experiences. I was in voltron but pidge was my blorbo, not lance, so I rarely saw him. And then I saw Yuuri everywhere whether I wanted to or not. Also, polls are not about accuracy, as much as we might think they should be. Life is a popularity contest. 🩵💙🩵💙🩵

my blorbo rankings contain multitudes. however, i am cognizant enough to recognize two things:

while lance is not my specific blorboest blorbo, i still rank him to be a more iconic blorbo than yuri. and so my vote for lance is still valid.

this poll is about most iconic blorbo. i like keith and allura more than i like lance, but i firmly believe that lance is voltron's most iconic character. i define "iconic" based on the following criteria: a) canon material; b) fandom experience and reaction; and c) impact on outsiders (the "did i see this character everywhere" standard). i heavily value points in the (b) category over points for (a) and (c).

lance's canon material sucks ass. however, the fandom's ability to 1) go crazy over lance anyway, and then 2) ability to extrapolate so heavily, insist on digging so deeply, and create so genuinely is impressive to me. and also incredibly hilarious. this is why i made the toxic iconity argument: i deeply respect the daily battles lance stans fought, both between themselves/the wider voltron fandom, and the constant enduring sisyphus-level uphill battle against the quality of the canon material. lance stans were able to create everything out of veritable nothingness, and i believe that deserves to be commemorated.

#i had to go straight to a zoom meeting without getting breakfast so i am crabby. sorry in advance anon. #someone sent an ask in about this that basically said 'the 'i saw x everywhere but not y therefore x over y' argument is stupid #'because tumblr is all about curating your own personal experience' #WHICH EXACTLYYYYYYYY. EXACTLY. #like sure being able to say 'my technologically illiterate dying grandmother praised lance voltron unprompted at the breakfast table' #would certainly be a compelling factoid. a seemingly 'objective' proof of lance voltron's widespread popularity. #but it's also... everything i'm positing is rooting in a biased perspective. #but evaluating (c) outsider impact requires 1) neutrally recognizing actual impact and 2) fairly attributing a correct level of impact #it's not a zero sum game ffs. i also saw yuri everywhere in 2016. it can be mutually true that both yuri and lance were popular characters. #what it really comes down to is which character you more personally value and care about more #so that's why i don't reallyyyyy gaf about the 'i saw goody proctor with the devil (fandom metrics)' argument #ask #anonymous

Weirdly (maybe not-so-weirdly) I have experienced some similar interactions with neurodivergent feds who you kind of have to sheepdog into getting the results they’re assigned to get. Anyway: what are some delicious foods you’ve eaten lately, either stuff you’ve cooked or stuff others have made for you?

i have been hearing troubling rumblings about the records for this program for some time around my workplace but, safely sequestered in scripted as i have been up until this point, i was happy to consider them Not My Problem. and like. oh bud. oh bud. innocence is fucking bliss. the one redeeming quality of this particular host is that she has a 4-month-old dachshund who she occasionally shows on camera. otherwise TRUE CRIME IS A CANCER!!! TRUE CRIME IS A PLAGUE UPON SOCIETY!!!!

ennywhey.

this past christmas was a very exciting time for me and my dad because for the first time!!! my lola OFFICIALLY tasked us with making pancit (with me taking point) and pinakbet (with my dad taking point) for christmas lunch/dinner, with no oversight from her. neither recipe is particularly difficult per se (pancit is approximately a rice noodle stir-fry, and pinakbet is a soupy sauté of bitter melon, other veg, and pork, for the uninitiated), but the Passing Of The Torch was kind of a big deal for us. and honestly both things came out tasting...well, just like my lola's. which was very special.

i was especially stoked on the pinakbet, since as co-chef i was able to control ingredient ratios to my liking (more okra) and ramp up the ingredients (more okra) that i have been known to get a slap on the wrist for hogging (okra).

just before christmas my partner and i went to Atlanta to visit a friend doing a postdoc there and i tried lemon pepper wet wings for the first time and that was also very exciting. wings are one of those foods that i will always eat but never really crave, but this shit was off the fucking chain. i will dream of those wings for some time.

OH and while @the-everqueen was visiting i made tonkatsu and japanese-style curry! slightly labor-intensive, but a) it's validating to observe how much less afraid i am of frying things than i used to be! maybe i am improving my kitchen skills! and b) after we finished dinner we all just kind of. sat on the couch and stared blankly into space for a while. yknow how sometimes you eat something so good you go into deep victorian mourning for a brief period afterwards because it is now gone from you? yeah.

#chatter #ask games #HUGE UPDATE. i am now off the record but just before i remotely closed [former fbi agent]'s zoom connection #ONE OF HER GIANT CATS PROWLED ACROSS HER DESK RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. #and in that moment i was like maybe true crime isn't so bad after all........ #anyway that's over now true crime is evil again.

sorry but it’s sooooo funny to see people on tumblr.gov say “controversial opinion but i think da2 isn’t a good game” like. who is out there saying it IS lmao

#i think they just need to zoom out a bit lol #ppl hornyposting about fenris or whatever isn’t the same as gushing over the game. imo #it’s got potential but like objectively speaking. you can tell it was rushed #it is interesting to explore that potential but #we’re out here playing in the mud to see what we can find in it lmao #i don’t know if anyone would call it a Good game?? #this is in reference to a poll going around that’s like ‘what tumblr fave game do you think is overrated’ and dao is on there #and a couple people in the notes have brought up da2 when it’s not on the list lol #maybe i’m in my comfortable corner but everyone i know who poasts abt da2 is like. aware that it’s kind of garbage in reality #mine #da2
