#they are so much more fun and unique

[capisback]

I know it’s haha funny to laugh at dutch and call it discount english or what-have-you, but I stopped finding it funny a long, long time ago. There’s so much active distaste for a language that has every right to exist and be found beautiful, but it’s hated by people who don’t speak it and native speakers who do. Why would you call any language lesser than? Any language better than another? There’s so much beauty to be found in each language, so many different ways of life and seeing the world, so many different words and sayings and ways to love that you can’t find in another. Dutch is no different, and it deserves to be appreciated, not driven into the ground and disregarded as a worn piece of clothing that’s served its purpose

#you don't even learn proper dutch in school anymore #listen I just #I'm so sad about this #I used to have this mindset of: english is better than dutch #why even learn dutch? #before I realized what an awful mindset this was #and I learned to appreciate my language and now I can see how much magic flows through it #how lyrical the sentences are #I've come to see how many sayings we have and how unique they are and how fun they are to use #Dutch deserves some appreciation #it deserves to have at least its native speakers' respect or love or at the very least fondness #I love dutch with all my heart and I wish I knew it better #I wish there was more literature and more media in it too #cap talks #dutch #dutchblr #flemish

sometimes I miss when Gregory was just a homeless kid

#i love ggy dont get me wrong #but i also wouldnt be that upset if they backtracked with that storyline #in the games and went down a different path #just because itll be way over a year at LEAST if they ever reveal it and its just. #now what #we spent all that time exploring everything that could come from it already😭 #idk i just miss gregory and want something new for him #ggy gets tired when its just vanny 2 #if they did ggy i would want it to be super fresh and unique as another take on more mind control #i just want them to give us somethint for once and i dont have to make it up #pandas.txt #and making gregory and vanessa have very similar if not the same story takes away from vanny #it truly does #it sucks for her #and canon gregory i would want something different for anyway #i know that ive gone on and on so much about making it canon #but waiting has gotten old #at this point with no mention this late #id rather them just scrap it #it would be great fun as an au concept in the book universe but the games are different #that would be awesome to me #having 2 universes to play with

Super Mario Sunshine enemy doodles :3

#Grim draws stuff #fanart #super mario sunshine #super mario bros #smb fanart #super mario fanart #smb #fun fact Super Mario Sunshine is my fave Mario game ever #I love the enemy designs in this one so much #mainly because they have unique takes on already existing enemies (like the Boos #for example) #which is especially more charming when you consider that their appearances are tied to the fact they were apparently made by Bowser Jr- #using the magic paintbrush #which explains their 'inaccuracy' #just a cute lil fact :3

Girls Asterisk my loser fake band <3

Their sketches for comparison!! I think Nat has a charm in the original sketch that i really liked that I fear I didnt quite get in her final drawing but I do enjoy how everyone turned out! Especially Eui!!

#piierrote draws #character design #they all suck in unique ways #fake band ocs #I'm having so much fun with this silly design project im going to try and throw a few more thoughts out in the next two weeks #before 2024 really #because then ill be moving and wont have as much time #i just wanna do a bit of a painting for them and have some silly fun time #with maybe a character sheet #idk for who though #Girls Asterisk

#star trek #tng #data #geordi la forge #daforge #there is something about them that I jusr love so much #maybe it's just the android/engineer pairing that is always fun but it's more than that because #like they said it themselves Data is not any other electronic system and Geordi isn't just a. what does Data call him #biological organism? #anyway they're both extremely special and unique to each other #IDK I need to rewatch tng #also those not so subtle pride flag colors at the bottom are from my headcanons I think Data is bi and Geordi is gay and trans #and they're both ace #my art

there’s an alternate universe out there where when you reach the sanctum in totk when “zelda” does her little cutscene she ends it by throwing a dagger at you and it whistles just past link’s head as he reacts in shock before readying himself for battle and then you regain control of him as a boss bar appears at the top of the screen that reads “Puppet Zelda, Twisted Memory”

and Link is forced to fight the one he swore he would protect and has been chasing after the entire game, and instead of a sage offering him warnings or encouragement the Zelda belittles him and accuses him of abandoning her and failing her and leaving her to die

and her attacks at the beginning of the fight are those bursts of bright light and the daggers but as you whittle down her health and begin stage two the facade begins to slip and the light bursts are replaced with darkness and she oozes gloom wherever she moves and her movements become more stiff and skeletal and broken

and then once you’ve defeated her she rises into the air all broken and limp but still looking at you and says that it doesn’t matter that she wasn’t zelda because zelda is still gone, trapped in the past with no way to come home she could be burried anywhere in hyrule, and she summons a dark bow of light and draws it back as a red-purple bulging mass begins to form at the arrow tip

and that’s when the sages turn up, sidon unleashing a wave that pushes the bow aside, tulin firing an arrow that riju uses to cast down lightning, and yunobo at link’s side, and they all have their own line of dialogue that boils down to ‘don’t worry link, there’s no way that’s zelda, she would never say those horrible things, and we know she’s still out there because you heard her true voice, so don’t lose hope!’

and then zelda dissolves into gloom with a fit of that uncanny laughter and that’s when that megamind-style ganondorf head appears and makes his whole speech about how they have no idea who he is or was and you get his memory and that he has waited all his imprisonment to battle against link and prove that he is the strongest in hyrule, ‘and then you will fall, link, as rauru and zelda did, knowing that hyrule falls with you. Come to the Depths beneath this wretched castle, and meet your fate, o destined hero.’

and then the zelda-gloom melts away into a heart, and the sages have that post-battle talk about re-grouping at lookout landing, and tell link not to do anything rash because they will find the real zelda together

#totk spoilers #totk #i just. we were robbed of a puppet zelda fight imo #don’t spend all that time building up a creepy ganon-controlled zelda and then get me right where she wants me then give me some phantoms #i can fight phantom ganons whenever i want they’re in set locations with gloom hands!!! Give me a unique boss battle that sets up ganon’s #final plans and properly wraps up the first arc of the game where ganon is leading you as zelda to collect the spiritual stones #so that he can take them from everybody’s corpses when he defeats you and gain even more power #at least. that’s what i want his plan to be bc it makes the most sense i haven’t exactly gone to fight him yet >-< #and like. this doesn’t solve the problem of act two being nothing if you’ve done actions out of order or that the tears spell out the entir #mystery of where zelda is which ruins the main quests of the game because everybody’s like ‘where’s zelda????’ and you’re just like 🙄👆🐉 #but you aren’t given that dialogue option ever BUT it would have been much more forgivable if the obvious not-zelda #had culminated in a super fun angsty puppet fight like in tp or st

"when will they make the emperor's new groove into a live action movie" my opinion on this is hopefully never but they should make it into a broadway musical. and disney should release professional recordings of all of their musicals. <3

#yes the original movie is not a musical #but that's what would make it fun and unique!! #and also even when the original movie IS a musical #putting it on broadway is just 1000x better than making it into a live action movie (see: aladdin. BATB. the lion king.) #because it's just. a whole different thing in general?? theatre is such a unique craft #and there's so much more worth in adapting these movies as stage musicals than 'the same thing but it looks realistic now' imo #the emperor's new groove #text post #🌟

What you think about Hondo and do ship him with someone?

HONDO MENTIONED EVERYBODY CHEER !!! i love that particularly wobbly-kneed wide-eyed man 🩷 i think he's absolutely adorable but also his title defense fight is harder than TD Sandman and u can argue with me all u want . my loss record to this man is higher than my losses against TD Bull ....... anyway UNFORTUNATELY im the most basic of the basic, im a sucker for Hondo and Hugger 🥹 not only do their interests match well but i think they would teach each other different things they wouldn't except to learn without each other. Piston would probably teach Hugger better table manners, Hugger would teach Hondo how to make baked goods, and i think they'd both take the fattest naps together after long days spent hustling outside 🩷 and i think overall their dynamic is just so sweet and their personalities balance one another out

As for the SLIGHTLY less basic one i think Sandman and Piston as either friendship or actual relationship is super cute too. they're both very similar in terms of loss ethic (have u SEEN how mad Hondo looks after u beat him in TD and Sandman's look at the cam ....) and general ethics, and i think they're both extremely respectful and calm despite their characters in the ring. they'd probably make dinner for each other and cook slightly unsavory versions of one another's respective comfort meals bcuz they don't know the full list of ingredients and measurements but they love it anyway for the sentiment 😭 they would take walks around the park together and they both most definitely have soft spots for stray cats

all in all I LOVE PISTON HONDO and i would actually love 2 hear more headcanons about him cuz i want to think about him deeper and love him more !! i apologize for the basic response but it's true 2 me ,, thank u 4 asking 🩷🩷

#ask answered #punch out!! wii #punch out wii #piston hondo #bear hugger #mr. sandman #this was so much fun OMG #thank you again for the ask i wish i had more in depth explanations and more unique headcanons but theyll develop with time hopefully 😊 #i 🩷 not shutting up ever

idk dude like i do not care abt the pkmn company losing money becos they're being "ripped off" by palworld

(1. palworld will not outsell pkmn and its silly to think that 2. i want more competition for monster-collecting games becos the monopoly pkmn has has given us some unfinished, buggy messes)

its less abt pkmn designs being "ripped off" and more abt how unoriginal and slapped together the pals are. like it's honestly kinda a shame that the monsters in this new monster-collecting game don't really have their own identity. like when I look i them I dont think about palworld, I dont think of them as pals, I think of pokemon. Thats uh. not great imo?

its extra sucks becos I see the pals that are original and theyre good!! I usually really like those designs!! There was something there but the game relies too much on the familiarity of pokemon's designs and i just feel indifferent at best and kinda 😕gyeh at worst

im also comparing it to cassette beasts, another (very good) monster collecting game that appeals to me as a pokemon fan, but absolutely stands on its own and exists completely separate from pokemon because of its unique designs and unique takes on some pokemon formula things.

Like sorry to compare but: the beasts in cassette beasts are clearly identifiable and there's a design philosophy going on there. And although I can easily pick out a pal from a pokemon, I'm not thinking of the pal, im thinking of the pokemon parts its made from. honestly its just not great design imo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#its nice to hear people are enjoying it regardless! but i feel like a lot of artists are being misconstrued w/ our main issues w/ the game #its less abt them copying pokemon and more abt them not being unique/having their own identity #and i know im gonna sound a bit immature here but! #im particularly frustrated becos this game got so much more attention than cassette beasts #(which as u might be able to guess i think is a much better monster-hunting game than palworld) #like at the end of the day i know what it is #people do not want a new monster hunting game. they want a new pokemon game #and thats fine! i dont blame them! pokemon is fun #but it makes me a bit sad yknow? #scout.txt #EDIT: anytime i wrote monster hunting in the post of tags replace that with monster collecting #lmao sorry my friend has been talking abt monster hunter a lot and its rewired my brain a bit and my words got jumbled!!!! #sorrryyy lmao

You know how you hc that the twins battle each other all the time, and thus are basically their hardest opponents? That post you made about Ingo's brutal Path of Solitude made me desperately want Ingo and Emmet challenging each other to various versions, sometimes with Ingo having the upperhand like in the game, sometimes with Emmet making Ingo use a wurmple against a staraptor. And sometimes, for fun, they even make it a double battle. They make the most buff pokemon in existence and everyone is sufficiently terrified

they so would frfrfr. wait this reminds me i had two sort of mutually exclusive path of solitude points i wanted to make in the same post i'm just gonna do it here hang on

1) ingo was really like, here's a new style of battle challenge i'm introducing that's literally not done anywhere else even in the future, i invented it myself. the challenge is you have one single pokemon and you have to face a very difficult opponent and you're not allowed any other help than what you go in with and you're all alone forever. this is based on absolutely nothing at all and was inspired by nothing. i am fine.

2) path of solitude is really like turbo single battles honestly like of course the guy who is The Single Battles One came up with this. what do you think emmet would have done if he was here instead. would he be like ok pick a pokemon and i'm giving you an entirely random partner. no planning beforehand gotta figure it out when you open the pokeball and we start the battle. dwi.

#the nemesis speaks #the nemesis answers #anonymous #pla analysis #i do have Feelings about path of solitude though if i think abt it too much #like i said it in that first point but i said it goofy but i do really mean it. #even the name is kind of insane. Path of Solitude. cmon. #he got the chance to make up a battle challenge and he said let's make it about being alone by yourself with nobody around to help #but also. i think it is also partially about him dialing up the unique single battle challenge up to 11 #since he does see singles as a unique challenge. like the default battle style is multis. obvi. his preference for singles is like a choice #he likes the difficulty of negotiating a potentially very adverse battle situation with only the limited toolset of a single partner #and path of solitude is that But More #like i said kind of mutually exclusive but i mean them both simultaneously ok. #anyway. yeah. #ACTUALLY can you imagine ingo introducing emmet to the concept and he describes it and emmet's like yeah this seems fun #like it's a big investment in misc pokemon opponents but it's a cool challenge #so like what strength level were you thinking- #and ingo's like oh idk maybe like 80 #and emmet's like okay. hm. maybe we dial it back just a tiiiiny bit

also i'm still more a ygo nerd than a magic one, but i HAVE been playing more magic lately than ygo and also i see a bunch of people who are new to card games being introduced to things like "why do these people enjoy the game differently than me" so i do think maybe you should be introduced to timmy, johnny, and spike,

#hctcg #for the record if you don't want to read it: it's a mark rosewater essay on the three types of card game players mtg rnd uses to design #timmy likes big impressive numbers and stats - things that hit hard and fast and feel bombastic #johnny likes combos and weird self-expression - things that have unique interactions and feel fun to make work correctly #spike likes winning and being on top of the meta - trying to find what is 'best' and using that is how spike enjoys the game #all three of them will pretty much always exist in any card game (and in... basically any competitive game tbh) #and all three of them are important to how the game works and is designed #and if you're grating against certain kinds of players try splitting out and playing against more guys that are your type! #anyway i WISH i could easily get essays from pkmn or ygo on game design but mtg are the only ones who talk about it online all the time #so if you WANT resources on 'how a tcg is designed' mtg designers are often the place to go #i am continuing to be SUCH a nerd tbh #do you want my 'banlists and how you should use them' opinions because OH BOY I HAVE THOSE #also i am more of a johnny than anything here but i also like winning a lot so i'm probably that johnny/spike corner

would it be sacrilege of me to say that i am kinda hashtag Underwhelmed by the percy jackson show

#first off. the directing is just not that good. #like you could have taken the unique story and made interesting choices that make the story feel more exciting but so far it’s just so basi #basic shot composition basic camera movement fairly basic lighting #also like i can understand changes from the book. going from a first person novel to a show is difficult and you have to make changes. #but also some of them are just like nonsensical. why would you change the claiming from a moment of victory for percy to whatever that was #<- well okay not really victory. more confusion and fear and desperation with a tad bit of victory #(also the claiming symbol looked bad and i’m salty about that) #i liked that annabeth had it figured out though that was fun. the introduction to her character kinda slayed #oh my god also the decision for that scene where luke is telling percy abt him annabeth and thalia to Not have any broll type shots overtop #-of the explaination actually Showing what luke was saying was lame #i get that they don’t have the actor for thalia chosen yet but you could have easily done it to where you only showed young luke+annabeth- #-and just thalia’s like sillohuette or hand reaching out or whatever #also again about the claiming scene they just took away all of the hints toward future twists. the hellhound summoned by someone in camp- #-and the hints toward the Big prophecy :( #anyway overall it’s awesome and it’s so fun to see pjo on screen. it’s just a bit lacking imo ☹️ #oh and the reduction of gabe into an almost comedic character rather than as an absolutely foul person that percy and sally have had to- #-suffer just does not work for me. it’s such an important detail thematically and also gives so much more context and meaning to percy and- #-sally’s lives and relationship. i think it’s so important but they changed it to something more palletable :( #ash rambles #ash.txt
