my toxic trait is that if someone tries to orient me while giving directions with anything other than cardinal directions, I will straight up stop wherever I am to be like "I don't know WHOSE fucking left you're talking about. try again."
Saw this on Twitter and you can seriously just put this in a textbook with how accurate it is. Take a guess how quickly you get bingo when looking at Ganon and the Gerudo.
Alyx’s Knife is a fun one because it’s like, at least maybe a shout-out to American McGee’s Alice in Wonderland and its sequel Alice: Madness Returns, where Alice is armed with the Vorpal Knife as her primary weapon through the game (as a reference to the Vorpal Sword from the Jabberwocky story, which is the only weapon that can kill it)
though in this case, Alyx brought her knife with her and this is really the first look we have as viewers into a work of (apparent) fiction from the World of Remnant and how in-universe story-telling is informed by the culture of that world - because no one raises an eyebrow at this idea of this child being armed with a knife, and of course they don’t, they live in a world filled with monsters where it’s normal to be carrying weapons to defend yourself from monster attacks (especially if The Girl Who Fell Through the World pre-dates the Great War - mapping to how the Alice books are over 150 years old - where there was no specialised Huntsman/Huntress role; it may have been even more normal back then for everyone to have a weapon)
Am I the only person who found the actual gameplay side of Bloodborne ruined the overall product/experience of the game...?
I'll be honest, I've only played the very beginning of Bloodborne because I get LOST, very easily. And scared also.
I, however, thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved every second I was hanging out and getting murdered. I just also happened to live with people and didn't want to scream from stress and fear and make them scared for hours on end.
You're probably not th eonly one, but I can't say I'm in the same ballpark i think ?
the rwby fandom using monty as a gotcha against people talking about how orientalism features heavily in rwby, especially the v3 - 5 era is hilarious cause like. what happened to the rule of not bringing up a dead man?
do you think just because he was chinese / japanese / vietnamese & cambodian mixed that he could speak for all asian countries, when there are 48 countries in asia currently? or that he could recognize the sexualization of asian women?
or the fact the amount of dark skinned characters can be counted on less than two hands in his era of writing the show where a majority of the “asian” characters are light skinned? that the asian characters in the show are mainly east asian with one dark skinned south asian woman in sienna & she’s on the bad side. where’s the north asians, southeast asians, south asians, west asians?? where’s the darker skinned rep considering colourism is an incredibly large problem across asia? where’s the individualistic rep, not continuous amounts of white characters dressed up in orientalism or east asian characters that’re blindingly white.
“stop using a dead man as a gotcha” only works when it goes both ways.
Here is my moodboard and mindmap for my chosen film ‘murder on the orient express’. I think my layout of this page gives the same kind of vibe as the film.
