#i believe that's intentional

[modwyr]

while obviously my stance is: if you think bg3 was in any way complex, pillars of eternity will knock your socks off. but also i think pretending pillars is in any way like bg3 (or da for the sake of big fantasy rpgs) is a lie (its better) because it is very different gameplay wise and lore wise and tbh my advice for the first game really is just stick with it. you'll be surprised at how much sticks in your head, and its actually perfectly fine to not pick up on every bit of nuance and worldbuilding on a single playthrough - you're not less of a fan if you find out a piece of lore from someone else. enjoy the game for yourself and if it gels with you, you'll naturally want to replay it and from personal experience pillars 1 becomes next level on a second playthrough when you're more familiar with it.

#idk i feel like maybe i understate how unique pillars feels and like it's ok if you spend a playthrough learning about the world instead of #immediately having deep meta written for it #also its a series that really thrives in the grey areas of making choices and not having obvious good/bad #so its fine actually if you're not aware of every political faction policy when you make a choice #i believe that's intentional #text

There's something delightfully fucked up about somehow binding people's consciousness to animatronics and then taking that a step further to turn part of your spirit or whatever into code to gain another form of immortality. I also Really dig the idea of Glitchtrap killing OG Afton - almost something poetic about the shift of power from Afton being killed by his own OpenAi-Powered fursona for me. But I guess he probably canonically died in Pizza Sim.

I like Help Wanted+SB era FNAF a lot more than the older games, but there's so many interesting things to carry forward from the old stuff too. My city now.

Oh that would be a hell of a narrative play for him to die like that ngl

But yeah. Our city now lmao

#yeah there's some fun stuff back there #it's time to apply what has come from there to the new stuff though #for me anyway #literally every time someone 'solves' fnaf something comes along and butchers it we should know the cadence by now #that's just not fun for me. I like to make sense of what I can see and with the narratives I can form from the threads #i feel like I have actual characters to play around with now whereas before it was just. #OCs in the shape of the old animatronics because they didn't HAVE characters #it had an impact on me of course but it was the concepts of animal animatronics #of hiding things in plain sight and of arcades and play places with mascot characters that were always there to entertain #the themes of mystery and murders was fun too but it's. not a mystery we can solve anymore #i believe that's intentional #if people are forever trying to solve the lore then the game never dies. #that's just how the rehashing feels to me now :/ #but that's just it isn't it? #that's what the story has become to me. #a story of a company making decisions for money and reputation over safety and common fucking sense #and it's fascinating to me to look at the characters caught in the crossfire #that can do NOTHING because of this giant fictional Disney holding the strings to their entire lives #maybe I've just been thinking about justice in Meteors and the elaborate cover ups too much recently #but SB and Ruin feel like the extreme results of a company that Does Not Care. #well there's still Glitchyboy and Vanny but even then... #I dunno. i like the story being the result of a company that couldn't care less #i like it being about what came from a generation they tried to move on from but chose to drag with them #i like the idea of them scrambling to solve problems CHEAPLY and not necessarily EFFICIENTLY #the true reality of a CEO that's never set foot into the world of the layperson or the world that they've created #a true group of fools in a board meeting discussing the shares of a covered up murder machine #those within this machine can only control their response. some of them don't even have that. #and yet somehow #SOMEHOW they're clinging on. #SOMEHOW they're still here.

Love your art so much. Will you show us cool nature pics from your country? I'm literally so stoned I forgot where you live sorry.

Sure anon, why not. I'm not a photographer so the quality of these is kind of slushy at best. I like nature and wander around a little bit, but I rarely hike properly, so I don't go to that many scenic places. These are mostly from regular walks. Long post warning.

Summers are short but very green, and since we're at the arctic circle we get sunlight around the clock. Some of these were taken at midnight or early morning small hours. Most of Finland is very sparsely populated and covered in boreal forests.

Finland is a very watery country, lots of lakes in particular.

Sometimes you get intense sunsets

And winters are very cold, snowy and last about six months. In summer we have midnight sun and in winter there's the polar night to counter it. Around late December sun only rises for about two hours per day where I live so it's very dark for many, many weeks on end (which is wonderful if you get seasonal depression like I do). But sometimes the weather and lighting are just right and you get this ethereal pastel effect that I love.

#we also have northern lights pretty regularly and those can be magical but I'm not enough of a wizard to take good pictures of them #I have a friend who Photographs Nature With Intent and goes to all these natural parks to do it #but I'm not them so this is the best I can do #I particularly regret that I don't have any bog/swamp/marsh pictures to show you because they're actually really aesthetic locations #believe it or not #and an iconic part of Finnish nature #anonymous #long post #answered #lamentably the best ethereal pastel effect only happens on very cold days like from -20°C to -30°C #so if you take out your phone and remove gloves to snap a photo your phone battery dies very quickly and your fingers freeze #so it's a bit inconvenient

I think the downright most horrific and brutal detail in the show is that Kilgharrah actually used Merlin to make sure Arthur's death happened with the pretence of protecting him

#kilgharrah when i catch you #this is why merlins “ i failed? ” destroyed me to my core #you were never supposed to succeed love #I honestly believe Kilgharrah knew Arthur was supposed to die at Camlaan and just wanted to make sure he didn't die BEFORE that #thats why he was like ooh but Merlin you must protect him and make sure he survives ( until its the convenient time) #and merlin genuinely thought he could protect Arthur until the end #say what you want about Kilgharrah and what his intentions might be behind this but this is SO FOUL #and now Merlins waiting for Arthurs return for a thousand years on Kilgharrah's word alone because thats the only hope he has #what else can he do #lets just hope he's right this time #bummed my self out with this thought while doing my class work #merlin #bbc merlin #merthur #cannot take much more of this guys send help

watch tsc be Nora's revenge. like she's just leading us on and then she's going to absolutely wreck everything, take a sledgehammer to all the things that everyone loves, as retaliation for people being so shitty to her online for so many years. it's all a ruse, she's biding her time, being nice to us online while quietly pouring gasoline over everything and then we crack open tsc1 and boom. Andrew and Neil broken up. Kevin with a career-ending injury, will never play exy again. Coach ditched the Foxes to go get married to some fling and now lives in Mexico. Dan and Matt both cheated on each other with Jeremy and the exy tabloids are losing their minds. Renee ditched the Foxes to join a sorority. Matt died. I'm not saying it's what she will do I'm saying maybe it's what she SHOULD do (and also what I would probably do)

#got sooo uncomfortable writing Matt died you don't even know #and best believe if she did this I'd be defending it with my life. #only if it was clearly made with the intention of being revenge. #otherwise I bet there'll probably be things that I'm not sold on #aftg #nora sakavic

getting some responses on my post about kristen and her parents conversation, specifically the "isn't it kinda funny that helio chose you and you were the one to bring the daytime back" and I think it's really interesting how different people responded to it like. maybe it's because I live in the southern united states but. there is a lot of religion, specifically christianity, as that is the obvious analogue to the helioic faith, that is downright evil, I agree. and obviously the prevalence of it is harmful to a lot a lot a lot of people, just as it's harmful to kristen in fiction.

but you have to understand that the individual people are deluded, they genuinely believe what they're doing is right. it's really easy to be like "ugh they sicken me it makes me so mad" in a theoretical sense but. do you have drive through workers wishing you a blessed day. do you have people see your kt tape and offer to pray for your pain to go away. like. idk I just think we have to have a little bit of compassion and understanding for people that are so entrenched in their faith that they do truly believe from the bottom of their heart that what they're preaching is true. especially in a world where divine magic is real!! kristen TALKED to helio. she makes literal miracles happen on the daily. so faith in that world is gonna be heightened to a crazy degree.

obviously I condemn their human-supremacy and their cult practices etc etc etc but in that little moment I felt for the applebees. it didn't make me mad or disgusted or annoyed. it made me sad. because they saw their daughter perform a miracle of the sun and it meant nothing to her. that "that doesn't feel special at all to you?" wasn't from a place of arrogance. they weren't lauding it over kristen. they were pleading. begging her to see it from their eyes: she is the chosen one. she is a prophet of helio and has been doubting and they want what's best for her. she's their savior. she brought the sun back from the endless night. that doesn't feel special at all to you?

#im fucked up. #i mean maybe this is a privileged position to take because i wasnt raised religious #i dont have personal connections to the harm it does #but i know that most people who practice christianity genuinely love their neighbors #however they can. #it's easy from an outside perspective to be like 'theyre so evil i cant believe they were manipulating her like that' #but. i dont think they thought they were. #theyre not evil. they're trying to help her. #they are misguided YES. but intention has got to count for something #if you cant see the difference between mac and donna applebees and bobby dawn. i can't help you #fantasy high #d20 #dimension 20 #fhjy

#these are the kind of ideas that go through my brain because of the fever and flu #hermitcraft #I believe there's tv tropes page for this (because I think it's a thing that exists in other medias) #this can be also sometimes be intentional (like for a final battle or something)

i said this in the tags of another post but. the way that the desert always seems to PHYSICALLY pop up whenever scar and grian are together is insane. first them finding the only tiny patch of desert in double life, and now a desert appearing in front of them right as they're laughing together and riding on a llama camel. like we all know this but MAN. they seriously never left the desert. it's become a symbol of their past together, and they can't escape it.

#grian #goodtimeswithscar #desert duo #trafficblr #secret life smp #secret life spoilers #slsmp spoilers #serena.txt #this is genuinely driving me insane cause this is now a pattern. again this feels so intentional i can barely believe its real #the place where their relationship started keeps appearing now whenever they're together #it's so incredibly symbolic it makes me want to tear my hair out i need us to never stop talking about this please #edit: i think its also important to note that they werent LOOKING for a desert in either of these instances. they just randomly happened #upon it both times
