I went into the Pluto anime adaptation with absolutely no prior knowledge about its manga or creator. So imagine my surprise when Astro boy shows up

#it is so good #pluto anime #Astro boy #the anime is very deep #and people here have made excellent analysis of it #but I was just shocked #cuz I was like #cool detective anime #robots are here #and north no. 2 and duclan made me cry #but then Boom episode 2 #Astro boy is here #it caught me so off guard

Okay, so I managed to ACTUALLY get Halsin this playthrough (thank GOD), and like, all I knew about him was that he turns into a bear and is INSATIABLY horny (also that he loves nature but like…my guys a Druid, of course he does)

But what I DIDNT know was how PRECIOUS this man is. He became a Druid because his childhood friend was the human (or whatever the fuck Thaniel is) embodiment of nature. He has a sweet tooth (which, same). HE WITTLES DUCKS. I literally verbally Aw’ed when talking to him after becoming my companion. He is absolutely adorable, even if he’s constantly dtf

#baldurs gate 3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #halsin #bg3 halsin #baldur’s gate 3 halsin #I am so mad at myself for rushing through act 2 during my first playthrough #I could’ve had this beast of a man #but NO #I had to be STUPID #also I love Wyll’s little comment if you talk to him after getting Halsin #like of ALL PEOPLE #I was NOT expecting WYLL to have a down-bad comment regarding Halsin #like I get it #it just caught me off guard when I heard Wyll #the ONE CHARACTER that exudes Straight Vibes #having a DOWN BAD comment over fucking HALSIN #maybe I misjudged the Warlock 🤔

ajsjdjj what if Aaron wasn't dating Katelyn but like a super jacked dudebro athlete or some shit. what would Andrew even do. yes probably his biggest problem with Katelyn is simply that she's a woman and that wouldn't be an issue in this case but if he was still to go through with the you-hurt-him-i-kill-you thing? how's he supposed to be intimidating to a (American) football player who's got two feet and a hundred and fifty pounds on him. he's eye level with the guy's belly button. he can't even see his face if he gets within a foot of him. i know Andrew's well versed in how to beat a bitch up but?

#good on aaron for being so considerate towards his very protective‚ territorial brother when choosing the love of his life #aftg #also ik andrew did knock Matt down one time but i think that was only possible because Matt was caught off guard #although he did almost kill those four people that other time... #they weren't college athletes but still..? i guess #ajdhdhdj this is so stupid

One thing i'd love to say about the Milano gig is how i'm positively surprised by Italian fans behaviour???

When Kris and Nace appered from the road and walked toward us to enter in the venue's park (the venue is inside a green area, it's mostly used for summer concerts even thought it's equipped for colder months too and we were waiting outside the park, near the entrance) Kris greeted us but didn't stop, while Nace stayed with us for like 10/15 mins.

There were approximately 20/30 of us there at the moment (the majority came during the morning to take the number and then return at 5 pm so we were a really short number, i had arrived there around 3 pm i think) and like, those who reached for Nace were so well mannered and kind with him? Waiting for their turn to talk to him, show him gifts etc... both adults and teen fans.

Moreover many people reamained still in the queue simply watching the scene so he didn't feel blocked or stuck.

I know also Bojan stopped for a moment in early afternoon, but i had to reach the venue yet so i can't comment that, but i'm sure things were not that different.

I'm saying this because i know in my country not respecting rules sometimes is (sadly) considered more a quality than a problem so i'm glad the guys will keep a good memory of my country, especially cause it was the first time for there playing here.

I was 100% convinced they'd never come back after the 2 dates but now i'm confident i wont have to wait years and years to see them again in Italy.

#joker out #bojan cvjeticanin #jure maček #kris gustin #jan peteh #nace jordan #also during the concert no pushing #no weird behaviour #we were so noisy they were caught off guard at first but our energy hit them for good #italians ARE noisy during concerts #the only issue was the queue getting fucked up when entering but this is the venue bad organisation #personally i asked people who arrived before me to overcome me once inside because it was their right to have a better spot

New Information regarding the 'Wizard's Vault' reward system launching with SotO on the 22nd! The Vault will be available for all players with a LvL80 character, regardless of Soto ownership, and the system is set to replace Daily Achievements and Daily Login Rewards.

This does not affect Dailies such as Living World, EoD, Fractals, etc. Only the general ones. You still earn achievement points for doing the new vault dailies, however, and Daily Completionist.

The Vault

There are three sections - Daily, Weekly, and 'Special'.

The Special Objectives are set to refresh every few months along with the rewards offered in the Vault.

There will be the option to choose if you would like your Dailies (etc) to be PvE, PvP, WvW, or any mix you like of these catagories. If you only want PvE dailes, you can select it that way.

Examples of Weeklies shown in the UI screenshot:

PvP - Complete 5 Tiers of a structured pvp reward track.

PvE - Complete any Strike Mission.

PvE - Complete Dark Reverie Jumping Puzzle

WvW - Complete Obsidian Sanctum JP. WvW - Defeat 10 WvW Invaders.

The Rewards

Completing Dailies will reward Astral Acclaim, logging in will also give you a little Acclaim. [from here]

Examples of Rewards we've been given:

Gold

Mystic Coins & Clovers

Crafting Materials

In-Game currencies (Incl. Laurels)

A 'small selection of previously gemstore items' [Here]

Armour & Weapon Skins

Mount Skins

Legendary Starter Kits, for Four unspecified legendary weapons.

Those with SotO will have access to a few extra exclusive rewards, as of yet they have mentioned the Enchanted Owl Griffon Skin (above), a new weapon collection set, and three pieces of Unique armour.

Vault Rewards will change every few months. However, any cosmetics items introduce through the Vault will be moved into a Legacy Section, and continue to be available for forever, at a slightly increased price. Nothing only available from the Vault will ever be on a time limit, you will always be able to obtain them.

#gw2 #gw2 news #I don't consider this SotO spoilers as this system is game wide #I'd not seen anything regarding this going around on tumblr and wanted to try write something to summarise #so people don't get caught off guard by this

While Rozemyne is a dense doofus, I do get the concept of doing something you perceive to be very logical and reasonable with someone else and then having literally everyone assume it's romantic.

#ascendance of a bookworm #i'm just saying that her understanding of ferdinand's actions are very logical and makes sense #but at the same time i'm not the slightest bit romantically minded #honest to god i probably wouldnt have ever read this series thinking ferdinand has feelings for rozemyne if it weren't for like... #other people pointing out stuff #i would've accepted rozemyne's logic without second thought #but i mean i've kinda been that way my entire life #just recently one of my friends texted me saying he needed to talk to me about something and i was like #'oh god what did i do this time?? OTL' #so i spent all my time preparing to apologize for whatever wrong i did #turns out he wanted to ask me out #i was so caught off guard

"bayonetta is an example of fanservice done right" its bc shes not being violated.

#thats why so many people are caught off guard by the moments at the start when her clothes are ripped i think #uncomfortable fanservice - bc she didnt choose that #but when it comes to her strutting and removing her clothes to summon demons people cheer #bayonetta #text

#💬nia.rambles #i dont know it was just really nice to see that the car was okay and they were out there #it seriously caught me off guard i was watching a bunch of stories and i went holy shit . #like thats my neighbour. Like. thats my neighbour ive seen that car every day for years but never on the road and. idk. gah #ive never spoken to them but they stay in my thoughts and i hope theyre okay and know they have a lot of support #i hope if theres another march i get to go .. so so happy to see how many people are marching/protesting. like.

"Yeh Yung-chih (葉永鋕) [...] attended Gaoshu Junior High School in Pingtung County, Taiwan, and was often bullied by his classmates due to his gender non-conformity. In April 2000, Yeh Yung-chih was found lying in a pool of blood with serious injuries and died after being taken to the hospital. The incident led to extensive discussions about gender equality education in Taiwan."

tams azula is sooo fascinating bc while canon azula doesn't really show her age at all like she's completely desensitised to so much shit 'she is fourteen' is not a justification for ANYTHING both in her own mind and in other people's, in tams she has zuko. and yes the world has been abundantly cruel to her but zuko hasn't. he's basically raised azula and he's done so in a way that she's allowed to show her age, but she still only shows her age in very azula-esque ways. there's no reluctance to see violence like you'd expect from a fourteen-year-old, and like ive said before, that means zuko can't play on that reluctance in order to shield her, but he still wants to shield her from that violence because regardless of what SHE feels about it, as the eldest he knows fundamentally that she shouldn't be seeing certain things no matter how well she can handle them. and seeing zuko effectively PLAY azula in order to protect her is so interesting and complicated and fun

#and also a little heartbreaking bc it's the 'you protect azula but who protects you?' #like in order to shield azula from these things zuko is metaphorically standing in front of her and seeing them himself #as if he's not only sixteen and a child too #but yeah taking azula's canon traits and manipulating into the tamsverse is soooo fun #like the example that inspired this post is how canon azula is logical NOT cruel #like time and time again she follows only the logical route and even actively avoids the cruel route #e.g calling off torture in the boiling rock bc she knew that he was telling the truth and therefore continuing to torture him was illogical #im not saying azula is averse to/incapable of cruelty i just hc that she genuinely just thinks it's stupid #just like any other unnecessary act would be considered stupid. if it's not logical or being used for a greater plan then what's the point? #and tams azula STILL HOLDS THIS TRAIT except because i lean more into her age in tams bc she's been given the freedom with zuko #to liberally be a CHILD without any consequences as a result of that simple thing #her intense logic actually becomes a certain naivety on azula #like she cannot comprehend other people NOT coming to the conclusions she comes to #and that expands to needless cruelty. like she wont factor a person's cruelty into her calculations #because in her head all she needs to dismiss that calculation is 'excessive cruelty here would waste time which is illogical' #she assumes everyone is as smart and to-the-point as she is so when they ARENT and will actively waste time just to do dumb shit #it catches her off guard and she DOESNT PLAN FOR IT so it can really fuck them over sometimes #so this is one instance where zuko has azula beat despite it being STRATEGY aka azula's strong point #bc zuko's immense cynicism and assumption that Everyone Is Awful doesn't hold up against logic 9 times out of 10 #but the one time it does is the time azula gets caught out #i just think tams zuko and azula's dynamic is so fucking interesting im so clever for that tbh #twice as many stars

a warning for mike flanagan's new show (the fall of the house of usher), aside from the usual horror gore and violence, there is a huge huge theme of medical malpractice and many explicit scenes depicting it that i feel would be very triggering to people with medical trauma. it was already very upsetting for me to watch.

see under the cut for general description (i'm nearly done the show, so this is just stuff i've seen so far):

the usher family built their business off a painkiller drug that they purposely misrepresent as non-addictive. some mentions of how this affects the people who use it and many scenes of lawyers unsuccessfully trying to pin them for this crime

a doctor tricks a (seemingly) unknowing woman into agreeing to an experimental heart surgery that has never succeeded before (the surgery never actually happens, though). we see the surgery tested on a primate who dies, and also done on a dead woman (particularly graphic and disturbing)

a heavily injured and immobile woman is forcibly given the wrong drugs as "punishment" by her caretaker repeatedly through IV injection, and verbally and physically tormented because she can't defend herself

#uhhhh me #i thought i'd mention this specifically bc it wasn't in the other mike flanagan shows so it really caught me off guard #the fall of the house of usher #other people who has seen the entire show probably have more thorough descriptions and warnings
