someone commented on an old post of mine that sonia wasnt fridged bc shes relevant to the plot and i have been thinking about it for an hour bc i dont think thats an actual get out of jail card for that .... also ... what does she do? be raurus way to cement himself as da king? give some half assed advice to zelda, that has no pay off unless you count zelda time reversing a bunch of weapons*, and then immediately dies just so zelda can essentially replace her and make rauru regret he didnt stab ganondorf right when he showed up in their temple i guess ?? (which is questionable on its own imo)

(*its not a good pay off for powers she was suddendly revealed to always have had(tm) and also is only ever used to .... welll, get zelda out of the way back in time, reverse a few weapons and .. idk create a ham fisted way to give the player her gimmick?)

even if she doesnt technically meet the requirements(lol?) to be called fridged like .. she is spiritually at least for how irrelevant and cheapely killed off she was

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #totk #idk man #be honest were you surprised by her death? #she first time she appeared she basically had a sign around her that said murder me VILLAIN #also i guess you can count her i guess having never mentioned babies with rauru off screen or sth #bc how would zelda have both their powers beign a super super distant relative #i guess there are ways to do that with other relatives and whatever was going on with the ancient hero (uuuugh) reveal #but the way she said it was like #das our 10 000 times removed grandkid or however that works in english #nhjdfkgfjknkgf #like maybe im misremembering something #but you cant tell me she didnt at least FEEL fridged #like when i saw the cutscene i thought at first oh she was just punched no way shes gonna die from one punch- #-i wonder what she will do no- oh she is dead lol #totk is all just subverting ma expecations by making me hopeful for something interesting only to reveal it is the most boring way actually #i cant get over the intro giving me the tiniest crumb of oh thats how zelda being your companion could wor- aaand shes gone bye bye zelda #for the rest of the game

Hi I don't usually talk about empires SMP on here but it's so funny to me that in many of pixlriffs's streams (whenever anyone asked) he's been like "yeah 12 is the perfect number for an smp, very divisible, no one else is being added or else it'd be too unruly to collab with everyone" etc etc and then today, 6 weeks after the start of the series, Oli is revealed to have joined as the 13th member like I've just been absolutely bamboozled

#empires smp #TheOrionSound #pixlriffs #i dont really watch oli so im sure some ppl r like ya we saw this coming but like idk its just funny to me #'but juno what about that one time joey or someone forgot to edit out the 'theorionsound joined' in the chat on one of his vids' #listen to me. i simply forgot <3 and also at the time i was like hm this seems like either something that i need to purposely forget #to not spoil a surprise or like nothing like maybe he just logged on for fun idk theyre friends on here #either way #anyways take this with a grain a salt bc pix streams at 7am for me so i may have misremembered or something #but defo felt the ol switcheroo rn #midnighttalk #anyways ive never watched an oli video until now and on twitter someone said his videos are like being in a blender #and thats so true tbh [in a good way tho] #also i love anytime anyone sees the greatbridge for the first time cuz theyre like wtf that is massive when did that get here

[iknaenmal]

Also did you know that john was originally gonna be 10

#LIKE. ITS SO WILD TO ME #i think it was mentioned in the books umm. it says something like theyre 4 13 year old kids #and it also said that they were gonna be 10 originally. in the beta #but umm. maybe this is not true and im completely misremembering who knows #ikna talks

[oscill4te]

I always feel like i have to say things perfectly and never be wrong, or stay silent. and usually I stay silent bc I know deep down Im kind of a sheltered dumb ass. but nah. im a flawed human being and I am learning and I will be messy and wrong sometimes and thats okay as long as i keep trying to teach myself abt the world and be willing to listen to others view points with an open and empathetic ear (assuming they will do the same for me. If not.... redacted thoughtz on that here. hehe.)

#weirdly i even feel like saying this is wrong LoL but whatever. literally... no one is perfect. #anyways thats why why i wanna read 1984 bc i remember ppl saying that book covers the topic of “wrong think” yknow #maybe it doesnt and im misremembering. im just a hazy minded fool who comes on her soap box here sometimes oops. we all need a soapbox tho. #and we all need to give ourselves grace when we are wrong about something imo #and we all need to be open to listening to others. that is why bigots of all kinds scare me. bc they dont do that for others #and. i have more complicated thoughts on that. but again. im like a rambling drunkard on someones lawn lol

[sonknuxadow]

the thing about mightourge is that ive never seen a single piece of content for that ship that doesnt make one or both of them wildly out of character. its always making scourge into this like. uwu soft boy who just needs someone to love him and then he'll become good. even though hes evil he sucks the whole idea behind his creation was just sonic but if he was an asshole. and mighty is a nice guy who doesnt particularly like needless violence but they always make him go "i can fix him <3333" over scourge. even though he is Like That. if we're going by their canon personalities mighty probably wouldnt be romantically interested in scourge at all. it feels like a ship that was invented for people who never actually read archie sonic and just like the version of scourge that exists in their head that they got from fanart and fanfiction. idk how to explain my thoughts properly but hopefully people will understand

#imo m/ightourge could only work if scourge had a redemption arc of some kind but people dont wanna write a scourge redemption arc #they just wanna pretend he was never bad in the first place and was just acting out because deep down hes really sad or whatever #and there Are reasonable options for mighty ships so its not like people just ship him with scourge because theyre desperate #to find a ship for him either? like. knuckles and sonic are right there pair mighty with one of them. or both of them. he has 2 hands #i cant really think of any options for scourge though except for fiona but i dont really care for them #but i also dont care about 95 percent of the romance in archie. so #maybe people just paired them up out of desperation for a gay scourge ship i dont know #but people being desperate to have a ship for every single character is still annoying #have mighty and scourge even interacted in the comics. i dont think they have but i could be misremembering #im not like. completely against shipping characters who have little to no interaction. as a w/avouge liker that would be hypocritical of me #but at least a lot of the time with ships like that the characters have something in common or have potential for an interesting dynamic #so you can see where people got the idea to ship them #mighty and scourge just feels like people got it from randomly generating 2 sonic characters to pair together #like i genuinely cannot think of any reason people would want them to be a couple #sorry for being a hater. not sorry actually

Yeah kinder eggs are a thin chocolate egg with a small pod inside containing a cheap plastic toy

damn lol what were they feeding those chickens

#ask #acorn-scorn #i feel like whatever i got in the kinder egg i ate on the step stool on the floor when i was 3 was like. #sesame street themed? like i feel like my white ass saw ernie in some fashion #like either as a flat piece of plastic with his face on it or something #i feel like what i got was mostly small pieces of plastic. which wasnt good theoretically but yeah #i could be misremembering ofc. i was between the ages of 3 and 5 #anyway thank you for confirming! :) #i never had a kinder egg after that moment that i can remember #oh. hm. yknow what? if it wasnt a kinder egg. it mightve been one of those chocolate hollow balls????? #i remember seeing them in like. toysRus(?) and im suddenly remembering a Ball varient #idk what that was but maybe thats what i had? or maybe ive had both? lord who knows #tldr: memory involves chocolate hollow Thing. small plastic bits and maybe had stickers inside it maybe. #more than likely hollow chocolate treat ball than kinder egg

hey i was thinkng about being annoyed when ppl use actual criticism as a segue to act like their personal tastes are just as important and then it hit me

does helluva boss pass the bechdel test??

#unless im forgetting something it wasnt until s1e8 dropped right? #im discounting s1e6 bcuz loona and millie were on a rescue mission to save the boys #maybe im misremembering? #uh anyway #i was thinking about ppl hating on the art style the same or more than talking about the misogyny #anyways this is like half a joke half not #i dont really engage with helluva boss bcuz it serves the same purpose as a sucker #you dont actively eat a sucker you just enjoy it and feel how it crinkles your cheek for some reason? #i like the eye candy and funny noises #wish it was. better.

like even the writers of earth wind and fire's songs had the biggest problem with taylor's cover of september and i still can't figure out why .

#like i feel like i specifically remember one of them saying 'why doesnt it sound like 1989' or something like that #but maybe im misremembering !

confidently took a review quiz over the material for my bio exam on thursday and (confidently) got a 65% 💀💀💀

#huh #and you can take it multiple times but it doesnt tell you which ones you got wrong. so like. um #real head scratcher #sure i guessed on a few of them but uhhhhh idk i didnt think it was That many. back to my notes ig #and i'd happily accept that a couple of them are just me misremembering something but most of it's applied knowledge and i feel pretty good #about the stuff it's based on so i might just be like. a little bad at science. misguided perhaps #im too sloppy for science (bless my heart) it's just not for me professionally yknow #anyway we'll try again see what we can learn yanno maybe something'll click #ok i retook it and got a 90% so thats better. guess i just got funky questions the first time huh

I'm enjoying this first half of the newest stranger things season, but to say I am unamused by the Steve and Nancy romance subplot would be an understatement. I hate this will-they-won't-they thing they keep pushing. Nancy and Jonathan were perfectly fine!!! In fact I found them pretty cute (from what I remember from previous seasons). I'm very likely speaking nonsense right now, but maybe it's a specifically 80s trope to have a girl go back and froth between being interested in two guys, but I hate this?? It's so annoying, just let Nancy be with Jonathan 😒🙄

#didn't nancy have a similar romance problem back when she was with steve that she now having with jonathan?? #like steve was out the picture for the most part so it gave her time to develop a romance with jonathan #like relationship problems with steve gave her chance to start something with jonathan -> now it's sorta flipped with jonathan #idk i could be completely misremembering but i swear that's sorta what happened?? #maybe this subplot eventually leads to something of merit but im not very confident :/ #hopefully to nancy and jonathan gaining a stronger relationship if anything #bibah talks #bibah talks about stranger things #text

[alicethepiper]

here's the counterpart to my other post about the desks in the s.t.a.r.s office. there's audio this time, but no music unfortunately. you can hear the mr. raccoon bobble head thingy in the background though. i'm dumb and didn't know that was making the noise. oopsies.

so the desks in og2 are all one desk, but in remake they're two desks pressed together into a row. everyones looks basically the same. we have two additional desks in the back, though, near where rebecca's desk in og2 is. i didn't see any of rebecca's boxes specifically (there were a lot of boxes everywhere) but the green satchel health kit first aid thingy (that i assume is hers) is on the wall. idk which desk is supposed to be hers, but i think it's the one with the cds.

Jill's desk is different here too - in og she had a picture of some guy on her desk but now it's a picture of a dog. the beret/hat is still there, so i'm guessing that desk is hers. the desk next to hers has a lot of cds on it, though. it looks like piano music to me, and we know jill plays piano because of the first RE game (from what i remember) but that's about as far as my knowledge on it goes. i think rebecca can also play piano but i could be misremembering the 10 seconds i've played of RE0. idk who that desk belongs to, but it's the only additional desk that actually has any stuff on it, so i think it's rebecca's. all of the bravo team stuff is pretty much packed up (which could be because they're all dead, minus rebecca). so following that logic, the desk with the cds would be rebecca's - all of the other desks are packed up (and all of the other desks, coincidentally, belong to dead people). and i can see rebecca being put next to jill after bravo got wiped out (or even before, since i believe they're the only two girls in s.t.a.r.s and that feels like something the dudes would do. like a whole "lets put those two together so they can bond about being women or something" idk. im rambling. idk who that desk belongs to but i think it's rebecca). i can also see rebecca requesting to be put next to jill. idk too much about chief irons (except for literally all of the bad stuff he does in the game) but i wouldn't be surprised if he was a fucking creep towards jill and rebecca (he also may have only targeted rebecca, since she is a rookie and is also pretty timid, in comparison to jill who is simply not, therefore making her an easier target. i literally have nothing to base this on, i'm just speculating).

wesker's desk just has a lot of books on it. it seems like in remake everyone has their own desk rather than sharing, so i don't think enrico's stuff would've been in there (meaning, i don't think he was the one who had been holding onto a picture of rebecca). ultimately, i agree that the photo of rebecca is just an easter egg and not anything to do with canon as far as capcom is concerned, but if it were to be looked at that way then: in og2, wesker probably shared a desk with enrico, so it could've been either one of them (maybe both?) who had a sus photo of rebecca. and in remake, it's just wesker who has the photo, since enrico probably has his own desk (since everyone else does, and also there are two new desks added in the back - either of which could be his). i would say that remake puts it there just to stay faithful to the original, but the remake version of the photo is significantly worse (somehow??? like, why did you go in THAT direction??) so capcom didn't improve. good job.

conclusion: wesker had the photo of rebecca for sure in remake. he may have shared that photo in og. everyone has their own desk in remake, they shared in og. and in remake, i think rebecca is the desk next to jills. also that photo looks nothing like her so i'm just gonna pretend that wesker used one of those ai thingies and typed in: "rebecca is the new rookie. pls put her in green basketball clothes. also put her in sexy pose, thx" and just printed off the one that either didn't have fucked up hands or didn't show her hands at all.

that's it. thank you for coming to my ted talk. (it isn't even mine) (it was an ask that @highball66 got) (i'm just the private investigator hired to take the photos lol)

[butchsophiewalten]

im kinda worried about how jophie is gonna progress in the series, martin already has a habit of forgetting things about his charactes like their heights but i would also not be surprised if he forgot like actually important scenes with his characters like that one jophie dialogue on findjackwalten. im worried he's like completely lost the plot on how jenny and sophie should be

I never want to be needlessly mean, because I don't think it's ever very appropriate or helpful, but I can't lie this is honestly an insane thing to say. To me. Like idk. I don't think forgetting or misremembering something as innocuous as a character's height is indicative of a person being able to forget entire major elements of their story and thus completely mischaracterizing the main characters of their series.

Also, I guess you wouldn't know this, because I think it's only been brought up in spaces once or twice, but Martin does have character docs. He absolutely has means of keeping track of important info. Maybe not every minute detail is on them, and that's why slip ups happen, or maybe he just isn't constantly consulting his Character Bible when having off-the-cuff conversations with his friends about his OCs. Like. Its Ok. I'm sure when he gets to the actual in-series character writing he's going to be a little more thoughtful and attentive with regards to getting things right.

Also this 'mean and defensive' aspect of Sophie's character has absolutely been a part of her the entire time. I can't really back this up with Receipts or anything, but I really do think the way Martin's talked about her, like, historically, has evidenced this. Still, I think it's true that those more rough-around-the-edges aspects of Sophie have evolved over the years to become much larger parts of her character than they maybe were in the past. I'm sure that relative 'shyness' was something intended for her as well, but I think it's definitely transformed into something more firmly 'staunchly antisocial' than like, 'softhearted shygirl', y'know?

I just also think it's true that Martin personally finds it very funny when people misunderstand his characters, like old fanon characterization of Jack, and old fanon characterization of Sophie, and intentionally does not correct people, because he likes to imagine their surprise at seeing how the character actually behaves in the series. Which is like, fine. I agree with him, that's really fun and funny.

Also, like, this feels like a silly thing to point out, but specifically with regards to the Findjackwalten dialogue, it's like. I don't know. That dialogue doesn't dictate the character's personalities, the characters personalities dictated that dialogue, y'know? It's not like how, for the fandom, we learn more about how those characters behave from that piece of writing and our interpretation of them is changed by it. Like, even in a scenario where Martin forgets the specifics of what he had them say and how he had them interact in those scenes, or even if he manages to forget about those scenes' existence entirely, I don't think that's going to meaningfully change Sophie & Jenny as characters, because it was his understanding of them and their relationship that caused those scenes to be what they are, not the other way around.

#ask #i started this post kind of mean and i apologize. but honestly i felt like I kind of had to emphasize how out of left field this question- #-felt and still feels to me #Maybe i'm just so Locked In on files I have a strong enough understanding and familiarity that I trust something that extreme would not- #-happen #and maybe that just isn't true for other people in the community #butyeah i think this isn't something you have to worry about. anonymous person in my ask box #sleep easy. i believe sophie and jenny are very safe

dont mind me im just trying to add timestamps to events in the FNAF movie since dates of events are currently left vague (NOT SPOILER-FREE!)

(feel free to correct me if i misremember or got something wrong, or add to it!)

ok some bits that likely will help:

the movie takes place in the year 2000

mike is... 28 years old, right?

he claims he was about 12 when garret was taken

abby is 10

william says the pizzeria was very popular in the 80's

freddy's opened in 1979... i think? idk i might be wrong tbh

vanessa says the missing children incident is the reason the pizzeria shut down

more will probably come down the way but yeah

ok so...

if mike is 28 in the year 2000, that'd mean he was born around 1972. i dont think we know garret's exact age when he was taken but mike was about 12 when it happened, meaning garret's death happened around 1984.

if freddy's opening in 1979 is correct then we can safely assume the place was already running when garret was taken.

when vanessa reveals her secret to mike, she shows him a picture of her child self with william in a pristine-looking springbonnie suit in what appears to be a still open and running freddy's, with garret's toy plane now in vanessa's hands. if the missing children incident is what caused freddy's shutdown then that'd mean: garret was the first victim and taken before the other five kids, as the presence of his plane in an old photo in an open freddy's means it wasn't shut down when he was taken.

william said freddy's was popular in the 80's, which might suggest the latest it could have been shutdown at to be 1989-- though it maybe could have been open into the very early 90's, but likely not enough for it to be memorable against its popularity in the 80's. with garret's death being around 1984, that'd make the missing children incident and og animatronics possession (and the shutdown of freddy's) possible within the span of 1985 to1989 (so mid to late 80's,) give or take. or even 1984 to 1989, if garret's death and the five kids' deaths happening in the same year is possible, with garret's coming first.

by the time the movie takes place (2000,) that'd mean the five missing kids have been dead for at least 11 years to 15 years at most.

while mike is 28 in 2000, abby is 10, meaning she was born when he was 18, in 1990 (SHE'S A 90'S KID YESSSSSS!) with mike being 12 when garret was taken and 18 when abby was born, that puts a gap of 6 years between garret's death and abby's birth-- so no wonder there was no infant abby in mike's recurring dream of the day garret was taken

ok now to try putting this in a more chronological order...

1972- mike is born 1979- freddy's opens 1984- garret is taken/killed anywhere from 1985 to 1989- the five kids are killed and considered missing, possessing the og animatronics, freddy's shuts down as result 1990- abby is born 2000- movie takes place (and mr. cupcake's reign of terror begins)

fun facts about the torture in moneymakers while were at it. spoilers if you're not caught up

the torture is not done in any attempt to gather reliable intel, induce compliance or as a punishment to deter unwanted behavior, none of which are things that torture can do. instead it is perpetrated for the sadistic gratification of the torturer, and for a profit incentive

except for that one time in pt34 when it was done to induce fear and make conrad's escape physically impossible, under the guise of teaching him a lesson. davin knew what he was doing

conrad complying with demands is always, always under duress. i wouldn't call that obedience, personally

you'll notice that conrad's fear of renee has turned into contempt and disgust, a subtle nod to the fact that torture victims dont typically build a whole lot of positive associations with their torturers

conrad gets more resistant over time, not less. but im sure thats just because he hasn't been beaten into submission yet

davin talks pretty openly about exploiting the media as a way to get attention in that one scene. not only a comment about the media's sensationalism of torture/violence, but also a hint to the fact that it can be exploited lol

theres not a whole lot of talk about sophisticated torture, in fact i think i even wrote a thing where renee admits that it doesnt require a whole lot of finesse to hit people. or maybe im just misremembering. its supposed to be in there tho

speaking of renee, i dont know if you noticed, but he isnt doing so well. could this have something to do with his actions? the world may never know

that part where renee thinks about the way we culturally view perpetrators... he comes to the wrong conclusion and you as a reader are not only expected to realize that on your own, but also think about what thought processes led him to be wrong. but also ive been throwing around ideas as to how i might add another perspective about it in the future so theres that

i have a whole tirade about the concept of being 'broken' coming up. spoilers ig

davin is doing just fine. davin is a machiavellian. davin, get this, also acts as an argument to the fact that the insidious parts of torture aren't in the people who act it out, but in the people who facilitate it. the people who act it out just tend to be useful idiots. sorry for the diss renee ily

anyway yeah so. that whole thing about davin building a strenuous trust with conrad in the beginning by seeming like the lesser of two evils was intentional

something about that darn profit incentive might be meaningful to the theme here but alas this falls beyond the comprehension of my feeble mind (aka spoilers lmao)

#other #this is the kind of shit that happens in your brain when you spend 9 months sanding solid oak drawers for 50 different kitchens #just you and your music. and all those thoughts you have about torture fsr
