#hey finally caught up

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

Welcome to the Dungeons of Fear and Hunger.

#Fear and Hunger #D'arce Cataliss #Cahara #Ragnvaldr #Enki Ankarian #Unlike Dungeon Meshi - I cannot in good faith recommend this game to a broad audience. #My background with F&H goes as follows: I am hanging out with a friend. He says “hey try this game I've been playing.” I say “Okay!” #I have never heard of this game. I pick the mercenary. I go through 5 min of character history and background. I am mauled to death by dogs #It took me 4 resets to even get in the dungeon. But I finally get there. I am caught by a guard. He cuts off all but one of my limbs #I am forced to crawl around in a blood and corpse pit until the game tells me 'give up idiot'. #I reset. I am mauled by dogs again. I realize this is not for me but I am intrigued enough to go home and watch some playthroughs #And WOW what an interesting game it is! I really do appreciate games that blend their design philosophy with the theme it wants to set #This is a game about fear and hunger. And persevering. And penis (my god is there a lot of penis) #I recommend this to people who like extremely challenging games and can handle the many *content warnings* within this series #If the idea of Bloodborne/eldenring and undertale having a little RPG maker baby sounds appealing to you - give it a shot #It's made by ONE GUY and it's a great horror game. I am just really bad at it. #My friends just enjoy putting me in situations where I scream and yell. We don't talk about the corn mazes. Or the other horror game nights #Apparently I'm funny when I'm Scared! #As people who follow me on twitter might know; I am deep in the pits of this series right now. I will be back with more art.

Zam wants to be ♠️ with Minute SOOOOO bad. And Minute has no idea why. He’s so confused by it. Reluctant and honestly pretty tame Kismesissitude

#princetech #I think about them so much #LS sundial you are everything to me #Kings sundial I miss you but ohhh pairings where they just beat each other up a lot is so good #Zam begging minute to fight him and minute is just SO baffled #Zam is so strange and Minute can’t even begin to understand #guy that likes getting beaten up and dying meets guy that doesn’t see the point of fighting without a proper reason #I hope they kill each other More #umm if the CCs see this hi! hey! what the fuck! #sorry for homestuck reference posting #unfortunate that they understand homestuck quadrants now #watching the Old Habits Die Hard vod finally #been so busy with work I haven’t been caught up fully #Zam expecting Minute to spawn trap his bed makes me feel insane #Zam laughing during this fight too. he’s so fucked up for that #reminds me of how Starfox used to be. Zam really needs to have SOMEONE to beat him up or else he loses his mind #but he’s already lost it so who’s really winning here? #okay enough rambling in the tags #need more people to post abt them. please please ple

There is a universe in which i was caught up properly on CR whenever what the fuck went down and Imogen verbally and definitively declared that- after everything leading up to this and the back and forth and indecision- that she'd be willing to take down her mom if need be. and i would have been deeply insufferable and writing 20+ separate meta posts and liveblog yelling posts and shitposts. This is not that universe so instead we will put this post here where i can have wildly uninformed (aka 20 eps behind) Emotions about it until someday i actually catch up.

(I know. i accidentally wrote potentially wildly off base/deeply out of date meta again. what can i say. i like shaking the concept of An Imogen (even if it is Outdated Imogen) in a jar. sorry.)

Because i was watching long enough, I think, to see Imogen in the throes of the hope for something better, to understand that Imogen was viewing her mom was a figure and an idea and an answer, that would make things easier. Her mom was- gone, so early. And so her mom, in her mind, was not a person she was an idea, and there was so much hinged on that! Dogged determination and anger at her father and a deep seated dislike of the powers in her hands and head even as they gave her a guilty rush. There were promises there that maybe no one else had made, but Imogen believed. Things built up. Expectations made. Lore crafted, even unconsciously, around someone who was, yes, important to Imogen, but more importantly: Missing. Gone. A blank slate to be filled in. A promise of an answer guide to open questions.

And then she meets her mom, and Liliana Temult goes from a figure to a person- with all the bells and whistles and rough edges. She meets her mom and her mom turns her away. Tells her to run. Tells her she should go. Tells her to leave.

And Imogen doesn't. In the same way she kept visiting libraries, keps asking, kept pushing for answers when it was just about her magic and her headaches and the voices. Imogen always, always wants to know. She keeps digging, she keeps trying, she reaches out, over and over and keeps trying to touch this figure in mist until she's real under her hands, and. Evidence piles up- of deeds gone wrong, blood on her hands, a figure standing next to Otohan (her friends bodies scattered, lifeless, around Otohan). She keeps reaching out, keeps trying, and is rebuffed, over and over. Things get worse and the skies get redder and magic goes dead and she's still- unsure, because what if there's a better reason, what if there's a better way, there has to be a reason, why. There has to be, right- maybe if- maybe. Maybe-

Its just like- a person as an idea. As a symbol. As a promise. One you build yourself up around and towards. One you talk about, not talk to.

And then the fog clears, and they are a human.

(And she's your mom, and she's not what you imagined. She's done you wrong. She's done your loved ones wrong. She's hurt you. She's hurt others. She's going to keep hurting you. She is going to keep hurting everyone. She is too far gone to reason with. She is not listening to you. She is flawed. She is. dangerous. She looks so much like you. You look just like her. You are so similar. You have always known you were similar. You always hoped. You.

Are not her. You are not hers. She is not yours. She is not who you thought she was. She was always someone else. So are you.)

Imogen walks through the bases pretending to be her mother. Liliana is a known face- a powerful one, a figure people fear. A well known silhouette. Imogen slips into the shadows of it, sometimes, when it serves her, but we know- she knows- its all an act. All a lie.

Liliana, after all, is alive, and well, making choices that she believes in and fighting for things with a dogged determination maybe only matched by her daughter.

Imogen knows this. I think. There's a part of her that maybe wishes that wasn't the case.

"There is no loyalty with this blood." And after all- only living people bleed.

#im so sorry for yet again writing deeply uninformed. idk if this counts as meta. its more me going 'hey if this IS whats happening. WILD.' #critical role #cr spoilers #c3e88 #imogen temult #spar speaks #liliana temult #this is REALLY just a word vomit based on gut assumptions from what i actually watched. my vague knowledge from posts ive seen. and now thi #im functionally playing connect the dots here which is. Not How Meta Should Be Written so take this more as fun speculation prose i guess?? #no one take this too srs its mostly so if/when i finally watch everything i can reference how off my assumptions were #this is def based off where things were around when the solstice happened bc thats when i was last mostly caught up #so the odds of me fully MISSING some important imogen dev and character things since then are. actually its not odds. its like.definitive. #but maybe this is true for at least early campaign imogen to ep 50 imogen #and it would be VERY cool if it actually applied to her now #i kept saying 50 eps but looking at my last liveblogs it might he closer to 20-30. ... still.

I mentioned this in the AO3 comments, but:

What does Fuuta think about how Es treated Amane at the end of her interrogation? (Still not completely sure what happened)

And in trial 2, what does he think now that Kotoko has joined the ranks of "people who have been hit by Es" while he has not? (And Amane, if she didn't already count)

Yessss thank you :3 I always enjoy LCSyS questions (even if I take forever to reply to comments and things LMAO) Though, some details apply outside of the au too

Well. I don’t know if it really needs to be said for Fuuta, but yeah, he is pissed 😅 Even if she wasn’t directly hit, he would be just as riled up that she was treated so roughly. (Ah, I’m once again tempted to write up my mv machine post, but) basically I picture the machine itself locking the prisoner in place with sudden restraints. There were reactions of shock and fear, as if it were affecting them immediately,  and prisoners like Fuuta and Muu would definitely run from it if they could. So I believe that moment in Amane’s first interrogation is just Es standing over her and rubbing it in. There’s no direct harm, but the fact that they are so smug about her helplessness is just as psychologically painful. 

I don’t know if Amane would really go into detail about her interrogation (the others who were hit seem the type to come right out and say it), but she mentions it during the trial hiatus debriefing. Fuuta is furious: “why didn’t you say something sooner?? I would have kicked their ass right then and there!” His outburst is the very reason she doesn’t tell him that she was hit in T2. She knows he’ll get himself into more trouble, and she feels pressured to bear it on her own. She ends up pulling him aside and telling him during the second hiatus. He has to tone down his explosion a bit to focus on comforting her more than cursing Es. Though I don’t know exactly what will happen, the knowledge that she was hit drives him to stand by her side in T3 and defend her every chance he gets, affecting whatever changes we already are getting hints of.

He feels equally upset when Kotoko mentions getting hit, and Kotoko's nonchalance allows him to do a full rant. She doesn’t seem that phased, and admits it makes sense they would have an extreme reaction to her violence. She says that she deserved it, and Fuuta of all people stumbles over his words to tell her that she didn’t – violence does not deserve more violence. (He’s learning, folks!) In the privacy of his own thoughts, the poor guy is mortified. He would be grateful if he didn't keep comparing himself with the others who didn't get hit. “Do I look as fragile and girly as Yuno, Muu, and Mahiru?” “Do they not see me as a threat?” “Do they pity me or something?” He makes up his mind to be a big, manly threat in T3 and be taken seriously enough to get hit. (He can only learn so much at a time, folks.)

#milgram #lights camera sing your sins #thanks for the question! im glad you asked on here too because i probably wouldve held back on ao3 #also right after im done posting these i am sitting down and writing my mv machine post!!! no one else will care but i keep wanting to!!! #outside of the au fuuta would think kotoko getting hit Was deserved but i think hed think twice about it #hes starting to pick up on the whole cycles of violence thing: es hurting kotoko for hurting fuuta for hurting killcheroy who was doing har #but he cant fathom why amane gets caught up in all of this and hes LIVID #it draws him closer to her even without the religious aspect #they both just want to protect the other in the way they think is best :') #and yeah even in canon i think kotoko isnt too phased by the hit -- her language is force after all #she may not think she deserves it per se but she respects es for showing their power like she did #and hey who knows! maybe fuuta comparing himself against the girls is what finally kicks off her transition <3 #fuuta kajiyama #amane momose #kotoko yuzuriha

I thought Orym took the Warlock Initiate feat in the deal with Nana Morrie, but no! It's Fey-Touched! He gets one free Misty Step per day and has chosen Hex as his 1st level enchantment spell.

Dude this is so me fr

#this is the autistic narcopath rep I wanna see in the world #that’s a joke btw i have no idea if the creator has pd’s lol but this video really sums up my whole deal #it used to really bother my friends in high school when I would just mirror bc they would be like “hey do you like *insert movie here*” #and I would say “Yeah omg it was super good!” and then agree with them about it and everything #and they eventually caught on to the fact that I almost never saw/liked the same films as them. or actors or shows or books or or or #lemme tell you it was SUCH a relief to finally let go of all those friendships with the excuse of “outgrowing each other”. i get to be #totally myself whenever I’m alone and it I get to be alone a lot more now!!! it’s so so so good #i hate masking I hate mirroring imagine being behind the counter of a store 24/7 365 and having to do ur customer service thing always #that’s life for me. utterly exhausting #npd tag #aspd tag #autism

imagine being so disconnected from RE fandom that you think that Leon only became popular starting with RE2make

#leon has been the male sex symbol of resident evil since 1998 and that's just fact #that's also i think where jilleon as a ship originated if i'm not mistaken #ppl shipped the two sex symbols together because it was hot #but hey jilleon fandom #how's it feel to fucking win finally after 25 years #leon has more chemistry with jill than he's ever had with claire or ada imo #jill and leon are those ppl who aren't actually romantically involved #but have definitely gotten caught fucking in a closet at some point #and they both just sort of shrugged #and then just slowly closed the door again #and just went back at it #and then afterwards when ppl brought it up #they were like 'you guys act like you've never fucked in a broom closet at a wedding rehearsal before' #AS THOUGH THAT'S A NORMAL THING THAT NORMAL PEOPLE DO #jill and leon are those long-term friends who just fuck sometimes when they're bored or haven't gotten any in a while #like they're absolutely friends first #and then one day one texts the other like 'dude it's been like 6 months since i've gotten laid this is bullshit' #and the other is like 'well my saturday is free' #and then they don't hook up again for like over a year #like they literally just do each other a solid every once in a while but are completely normal friends otherwise

Upon the destruction of his container the Dwarf in the Flask is banished back behind the portal from whence it came so a very important question, to me, is whether his kids individuated enough to get their own treatment or if they are all crammed back there like a closet progressively stuffed fuller of angry goths

#Lust hanging out in the creepy arm portal like god this is so boring #oh gluttony! finally some decent company #envy? how - oh you don't want to talk about it huh #wrath see your age finally caught up to you #greed weren't you already - oh they're strangling each other ok #hey dad. I died and you all went to hell huh is that it #also is this your house #the truth banging on the outside of the door like your downstairs neighbor: #everyone shut up I have guests #fma

Reviewer: This movie was so unrealistic. No parent would just hate their kids for being a little different.

Kids to extremely religious parents, neurodivergent kids, queer kids, trans kids, and kids that were just different

#i finally caught up with invincibI3 last night #and finally saw the at0m 3v3 special #and i saw someone say that it was completely unrealistic #that eve's parents would hate her #for being just a little different #and it's just a sloppy way to give your character a dark backstory #to be honest my entire childhood was #my parents (knowing i have neurological disorder #that makes it difficult and #almost painful to sit down still for more than 20 minutes): #hey luce why can't you just sit down and be quiet for me than 20 minute #(as usual forgive the leet speak just don't want this showing up in the tags)

so my best friend and i like putting characters into silly situations. we take characters from a story that we both enjoy and plop them into a different plot or world and figure out how that changes everything.

i have also been reading my best friend tgcf almost nightly for the past few months. (she's enjoying it quite a bit :) ) we just caught up to where the official printed english translation ended, which was the very end of Book 4.

yesterday, i asked her what the tgcf characters would look like in the star wars universe, bc she's also watching the clone wars right now. we decided hua cheng would probs be a mob boss and xie lian would be an ex-jedi who was kicked out of the order for some reason. i made some joke about bai wuxiang being the emperor, because he's obviously the sith lord trying to coax xie lian onto his side.

after a few jokes, she said "i don't think he'd be the emperor, though. bai wuxiang doesn't seem like the kind of person to hide himself like that. yes to the sith lord part, but i think he's too prideful to hide like that."

i have never been more grateful for having a passable poker face. holy shit. too prideful to hide indeed.

#mj talks #tgcf #honestly i'm half making this post for posterity #hallo bestie!!! do you remember saying this??? hey do you remember saying you thought bai wuxiang wouldn't sit through the politics??? #like for the information that you have at the moment you're right!! however!!!! #literally every time i talk to her about the story i have to make a concentrated effort to make sure i say Bai Wuxiang as the name #bc i've gotten so used to the name jun wu being the sinister and terrible one #that i straight up forget that's not common knowledge!! #she's managed to go this far without being spoiled and i am NOT about to let one silly laser sword sci fi au ruin that #anyway. can't wait to talk star wars aus with her when she's finally caught up w the plot #jun wu is just palpatine but with more creepy physical touch :)
