#unless he's flying

[aroaceleovaldez]

It's honestly wild to me that ToA went through so much trouble to emphasize the fact that Will did not magically fix all of Nico's problems and was explicitly not Nico's only doctor.

Only for TSATS to have Will fix all of Nico's problems and have Nico be entirely reliant on him the entire book and literally helpless without him and LITERALLY have Nico's problems be magically removed.

#pjo #riordanverse #tsats crit #nico di angelo #solangelo #it doesnt make any sense too cause. in HoO we KNOW Nico was fully capable of handling himself in Tartarus #we already knew he was explicitly on his own. we know he had it worse than Percy and Annabeth did #because we are explicitly told that Nico saw Tartarus' true nature the ENTIRE TIME versus Percy only getting a tiny half-glimpse of it once #and Percy acknowledges that he would not be able to withstand actually seeing Tartarus more than he did without just dying on the spot #and Nico was down there for as long as Percy and Annabeth at least. on his own. flying blind and explicitly having it worse. #so it doesnt make sense to totally retcon Nico's ENTIRE experiences with Tartarus to make him sopping wet and pathetic about it #needing to be helped and only being down there for twenty minutes and crying the whole time #and then all of the book he's literally functionally helpless without Will for some reason. despite being in his element. #could not get more in his element than being in the Underworld. my guy literally lives there. that's his HOUSE. that's his YARD. #and he's still just totally sopping wet and pathetic in Tartarus the second time around #like im sorry. no. we literally have previously established canon indicating this is absolutely not the case #that is not something you can retcon. that is an entire major event. it was not glossed over. #unless you are doing time travel and it's a canonical retcon a la Homestuck im sorry the events of TSATS just could never occur #(not to mention Damasen is just never acknowledged in TSATS and him and Bob were absorbed by Tartarus the god and ergo dead in HoH) #(so Bob and Damasen are like. *Gone* gone. they didn't just die to be reformed later they got ERASED.) #(and Nyx sure as hell isnt gonna be the one to have Bob trapped for whatever reason. definitely not cause she hates light/change/whatever) #(nyx is literally the mother/sister [depends on version - sometimes a mitosis situation] of the personification of day? and sky?) #(and FRIENDSHIP? and the nymphs of sunset? sometimes also CHEERFULNESS? and THOUGHTFULNESS? and old age) #(ah yes the mother of concepts such as love/friendship and aging and. day. would HATE [checks notes] love/friendship changing and light) #(she INVENTED THOSE) < anyways thank u for coming to my aside rant in the tags #in parenthesis to indicate this is an aside/tangent rant. anyways i have so many problems with this plot. it just DOESNT WORK #on NO LEVEL DOES IT WORK AT ALL WITH ESTABLISHED CANON

i can't love you in this skin

#twittering birds never fly #saezuru tori wa habatakanai #suggestive #<- jic #interpret this as you will #there's A Lot about gender and yashiro's relationship with gender and heteronormativity especially in relation to doumeki #he asks him what type of Women he likes. they only watch m/f stuff together. “i wonder if he's gentle with women”. #the anger and disappointment when he realizes that doumeki is actually attracted to him #unless he's remembering something that happened he only fantasises about doumeki with a woman and not with himself #(same was with kageyama iirc) #except for that kiss in the elevator but that's a whole other conversation. and even then there was a woman present #he even tells kamiya that doumeki is basically straight and he's just a rare exception #yashiro's is so so desperate to push doumeki towards a “normal” life #aka not in yakuza. not with him. in a normal (straight) relationship #just. a lot of self hatred and internalized homophobia #all that being said. i think regardless of the author's intent reading yashiro as a closeted trans person is also valid #the “i could never afford myself to reflect on this and i also don't care enough about living to even bother atp” type of closet #would it contradict some of the things yashiro says? sure. but he contradicts himself all the time #am i projecting as someone who will live and die in the closet? sure #i think it's interesting that the only person who genuinely asks him about gender is ryuzaki #in the same conversation where he asks him about falling in love #and yashiro's response is basically “it wouldn't change much” and “i'm fine with what i have”. are you tho #there's a lot i can say about yashiro and aoi and yashiro and ryuzaki's girlfriend but i can't articulate it well rn so whatever #the way dumeki's lie about dating a woman affects yashiro is also interesting regardless of which interpretation you go with #which is also why i'm using post time-skip for the art. the topic keeps popping up #but yeah uh. take it as you will i just have a lot of feelings about.

Weird AU idea: Crossover AU between Minecraft and Welcome Home. Those bitches gotta kill some dragon to get back home IDK. I can see many shenanigans with this concept

Mainly made this up because I had a dream the Warden from Minecraft and Julie Joyful met (Julie was not enthralled for obvious reasons) (tbh it was more a nightmare DX)

bold of you to assume their Goofy Asses could get anything done, let alone kill the ender dragon

#theyd get to the nether after 85 years of trying #only for wally to kill them all & destroy their progress by placing a bed #howdy would somehow have Everything They Need but he refuses to sell it unless they have reallly specific stupid items to trade #he's like a wandering trader but 100x Worse #frank would see something flying and go to look #frank: omg is that a butterfl- *Frank Frankly Has Been Slain By Vex* #barnaby would dig himself a dirt house and refuse to do anything more #eddie would be busy building an elaborate garden #julie'd collect every animal for funsies #sally would master redstone to create elaborate Entertainment Devices #poppy wouldn't leave her house or her 58 furnaces all of which are in use #wally would just sit at a loom and make pretty banners #and Nothing Would Get Done #even if they Tried to accomplish goals you and i both know #it would derail Immediately #theyre too silly. #rambles from the bog #welcome home au #If i get the motivation ill definitely scribble something for this #currently head is empty on what i'd doodle hence the Lack Of Art on this post #i just thought of the effort it'd take to like #scribble minecraft armor... tools... environment things... ouagh too much Too Much #tonight has tired me out :/ #but yes... many shenanigans... feel free to share the shenanigans You have in Mind

new rgg fans will never know what they missed back in ye olden days of the fandom (like, 2019), doubly so now that scott strichart's deleted his twitter and jon riesenbach's privated. twitter was so fucking fun and then whatever-the-hell at sega of america happened and caused a fucking snowball effect and now we have shitass localization and resulting discourse that makes every release nigh unbearable, misinformation, confusion, people complaining about "bad writing/mischaracterization" not realizing it's because of the shitass english loc, i'm sitting here like jesus christ these loc bitches massacred saejima's character voice, people will never see him as he was intended, as original yakuza 5 localization Correctly painted him, and now they're coming for kiryu. god help us. we used to be a proper fandom. before everyone was subjected to the remastered localizations and shaky eng characterization. no one had even played yakuza 3-5, people still called morning glory "sunshine" orphanage, kiryu was our only protagonist and people still called him "boring", it was beautiful...

anyway gaiden uses affective instead of effective because the current localization team is full of careless dumbasses who don't give a fuck about ensuring they're using correct english grammar and this is not an isolated incident

#ada speaks #ive been playing through the series again from 0-5 and. yeesh #it goes from LIFE IS GOOD. LOC IS GOOD. to. oh. #yakuza 5's original localization is near perfect and they couldve made it better but instead #they opted for the cost cutting approach and decided NOT to retranslate and instead #just fucking. re-localized the localization and SO much is wrong. so much. #im playing simultaneously with a friend (myself on ps3 them on pc) and seeing the differences #and it happens in y3r and y4r too where #the original line is localized > the remastered line takes it and runs with it bc they have no original translation context #ie. in 3 rikiya says he likes 'wild' dancers. (re: strip club) it gets localized to be him liking 'aggressive' dancers. #in 3 remastered he says he likes AGGRESSIVE DOMINEERING WOMEN and that gets his Gears Turning #or. in 5 shinada says that uno is 'a little sad up top' re: his hair. and 5 remastered he says 'kinda mopey' #because they misunderstood the original english loc and so. completely fucked up the line to mean something else entirely #its like broken telephone #the same is SOMEHOW also happening in 8... i dont know HOW but somehow it fucking is #meanwhile im revisiting zero and going OH YEAH GOOD CHOICE. THAT MAKES SENSE. GREAT WRITING. WOW THAT'S AN A+ INTERPRETATION OF THAT LINE. #i miss the old loc team so bad. bring me back. #its mostly frustrating because i can see the shitass eng writing and still enjoy the game beneath it (unless it's not voiced.) but #i feel so bad for everyone flying blind and forced to take the loc at face value #its been like this since lost judgment but the main story was Fine (if a bit rushed) because. scott was still doing his thing #the substories in lost judgment also felt like they were of the same calibre (shit.) as remastered and. idk. #it seems like its been a shitshow at SoA behind the scenes for Years #and it shows.

The aceness of "you're an ace in the hole" does not carry over in the french dub and I am. Disappointed.

#hazbin hotel post #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel alastor #hazbin hotel rosie #alastor #asexual alastor #ace alastor #in french she says “je sais qu'au fond tu es une perle rare” and he says “tu es sûre ?” #so unless perle rare is ace slang idk the translators let the whole ace subtext fly over their head ig?? #also he says “tu es sûre ?” like he knows what she means but he doesn't he has no idea in eng he says “a what now?” not “you're sure?” #“je sais que tu es un as au fond du paquet de cartes” #“tu fais semblant d'être un joker mais je sais que tu es un as au fond” (this one's provided by my good friend) #like at least keep the ace part???

For the last time, Marcus did not yell at Sydney because she rejected him.

For people to keep spreading that misinformation about a genuinely good person because they need a reason to hold C*rmy up as the only real option (even though Sydney not being interested in Marcus should be enough) is kind of wild to me. Marcus yelled because it was a high stress situation and Sydney was ignoring him in the kitchen, that's literally it, these people yell at each other in the kitchen all of the damn time. Please stop calling this man an incel, he is not. Also, there's nothing wrong or weird about him having feelings for her. She's great, why wouldn't he?

#marcus brooks #sydney adamu #the bear #i want marcus to get a girlfriend in s3 and i don't want it to be sydney unless she somehow develops genuine feelings #he deserves more than to be another claire #and sydney deserves more than to lose a good friend #people also keep skating past the fact that they were cool with each other again at the end of the episode too #if you've never done this then this post isn't directed at you #if it don't apply let it fly

Day 15- Dance

I couldn't resist drawing the boys again :]

#my art #goodtimeswithscar #gtws #gtwscar #grian #pawmitcraft #GTWScartober2023 #GTWScartober #dance flight! flying dances!!! #also I'll die on the hill that Grian is usually the one who leads his dance partners #it'd depend on who Scar is dancing with *but* sometimes when he's feeling silly he'll playfully try to steal the lead from Grian #he fails constantly unless Grian lets him take the lead

[crimson-catalyst]

its always funny to me when a comic about, say, dragons turns the dragon into a human and doesnt actually feature dragons dragoning for 90% of the story

haha anyway (breaks hinatas wings so the airplane cant airplane)

#Hinata #Ash & Dust #aeronauts #hes only unable to fly for the first arc its ok LOL #kind of a turnoff for stories for me actually unless its done really well. unrelated go read vainglorious #crimart

When is the best moment to chase and catch the sun? I keep starting to run but it just goes up further in the sky and I have to keep waiting again, there must be some good moment to get it

from where do you hail strange anon. and for what do you ask this

anyways I'd say 6am on the west coast. or 7:30 in the winter.

#asks #um. what #this starts out sounding like poetry #and ends like someone read poetry and is now genuinely confused #also throwing some bonuses in here #sesamenom / silm blog answer: ask tilion; he's pretty successful at crashing into the Sun but not so much at catching her #redbean-nom / star wars blog answer: get in a star destroyer and fly there. unless it's tattooine; then you need two star destroyers

[p0rchc0ll4ps3]

my question... anyone have any fic recs / know any posts that talk about elysium technology? i'm so fascinated by it but i haven't encountered much about it in the fandom yet

#c4rg0f1l3s #disco elysium #how do you have computers before airplanes (im assuming its the cant use motors in the pale so why come up with motored aircrafts. BUT LIKE #YOUD STILL HAVE TO FLY ACROSS THE CONTINENT. SO. SHOULDNT THERE BE AIRPLANES??) #wtf do you mean you dont have tv broadcasting but you have video tapes #im still confused about that. how the fuck do the tvs work? why would you have tvs or video tapes as a commodity #if you dont have cable television???? #its a commodity too bc harrys poor and unless he scrounged that tv... he sure has one what with the video tapes #unless he never rented video tapes

[no-i-will-not-shut-up]

childe in fontaine theory: they lock him up

#genshin impact #everyone is freaking out about the vision being thrown in the air #but imo its temporary #like he throws it to the traveler to keep it safe #or the traveler picks it up and keeps it safe while hes on trial #i feel like the lines are too few for him to be more relevant than that #im hearing some foul legacy rumours flying around too and tbh i dont see it #unless hes really desperate #childe #tartaglia #genshin leaks #genshin spoilers #like they just lock him and arlecchino is there to get him out #hoyo will never kill one of their playable chars they cant even properly make them evil

Character profile evolution for Mav and Ice

(this is just a bunch of notes and only one of several preferred interpretations of mine)

Temper

Mav

younger: quick to anger. volcanic anger. may take some work and time to come around and then only if he feels there's sincerity.

older: slow to anger; probably still volcanic. doesn't want to hold grudges, will try to get past the conflict as quickly as possible if object of anger is close friend/ family without letting his ego drag it on for longer than necessary. for others, will distance himself without feeling the need to explain or justify himself if he doesn't see reciprocal effort.

Ice

younger and older: slow to anger. may forgive but won't forget. nuclear winter anger. his forgiveness may on occasion feel like being handed more rope to hang yourself with the next time you fuck up. none of this applies to friends/family. will forgive them pretty easily actually but will bring it up on occasion later. might take a bit of work to come around depending on the size of mess.

Humour

Mav

younger: enjoys slapstick.

older: wry, maybe appreciates harmless pranks.

Ice:

younger: sharp, sarcastic.

older: dry.

Temperament *

Mav

younger: sanguine.

older: melancholic-sanguine (?).

Ice

younger: choleric.

older: choleric-phlegmatic (?).

Spending habits

Mav

younger and older: frugal. has one expensive hobby but responsible about it.

Ice

younger and older: will spend on the finer things in life but price tag is always a consideration mostly for the principle of things - he doesn't like feeling like he's being taken for a ride in terms of price no matter how exclusive the thing being advertised to him claims to be.

Clothing

Mav

younger and older: found his style early on, will not budge from it ever (good for him he works it well).

Ice

younger and older: leans towards preppy but won't compromise on comfort. always dressed just right, never too much or less (or does he just look good in everything or both).

Love language

Mav

younger and older: default state is words and gestures of affirmation; when needed generous even extraordinary acts of service without saying a word about it

Ice

younger and older: default state is acts of service; when needed unexpectedly tender and moving words and gestures of affirmation

*lifted temperaments for younger mav and younger ice from @icemankazansky's amazing character profiles for both of them here (mav) and here (ice)

#for ice in terms of temper and holding grudges I feel like he'll forgive friends and family easily #but will bring it up if they're on the topic or a related topic #mav will consciously try not to bring it up again unless feeling really pushed #that's ice's one annoying habit #impulse control issues around planes is mav's #actually all of mav's life's big fuck ups have had something to do with flying #that's crazy hes so consistent

[seelestia]

imagine teaching wanderer Gen Z terms (maybe it's a sagau au maybe reader gets isekai'd, it's up to you lol)

"Why do 'fanatics' of mine obsess over calling me an infant?" "You see, we don't call you that in a literal sense, just think of it as a term of endearment" "Explain to me how being called a human child that could barely think for itself is considered endearing" "STOP TAKING EVERYTHING SO LITERAL-" "I HAVE BEEN GIVEN NOTHING OF CONTEXT, I'VE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE IT LITERALLY YOU FOOL-"

"Why do you keep telling me to kill someone after fighting? I thought murder was something you humans deem immoral" "What are you talking? I never told you to kill someone" "Are you that much of a dolt to forget how much you cheered and yelled like a lunatic after the fight" "I didn't say anything like 'Kill someone!' ?" "You repeatedly shouted at me to 'SLAY', don't tell me you're becoming an amnesiac" "That..that's not what i meant-"

maybe it's cuz of how the term "babygirl" has now been tied to Wanderer that this prompt popped into my head lol - sincerely, 👹✨ Jae <3

"babygirl, wyd?"

"what are you babbling about?"

"you know, 'w-y-d' as in 'what you do' as in 'what are you doing'? isn't that smart?"

"...get out."

"THIS IS MY TEAPOT!?"

he'd raise the living heck out of his eyebrow or frown until it stays forever stuck on his forehead whenever you use a gen z term around him. wanderer will come around to getting used (unwillingly) to your "weird" habit eventually — definitely has threatened to leave you inside a ditch at least once, but that's just one of his love languages <3

#i'd like to think that there's a time where he just casually uses a gen z term he learnt from you #and you just look at him in horror because that actually fits??? #and he'd have this little grin on his face that turns into annoyance #why so shocked that he's able to speak your alien language? shouldn't you be proud? #ugh whatever. stop gaping unless you want a fly in your mouth #I LOVE HIM YOUR HONORRRR #ask box! 📬 #visitor: dearest jae! 👹✨

yesod vergilius roland doodles to try and fight through art block most of these dont make sense but whatever works to get something on paper

#kickdraw #yesrolver #library of ruina spoilers #i feel like vergilius would like yesod cause he is efficient and blunt = easy to understand and work with #but also i think yesod will yell at anyone - so when he yells at verg and hits too close there would be problems #i think they'd be fine if they could get on the 'we all have the same dream' sort of page + respect each other #basically similar character development to yesod + roland in ruina #but i feel like if roland tried to yell at vergilius after the leviathan break up? verg would laser vision him #yesod is more like a fly annoying but harmless - so he doesn't get the laser vision unless he gets in the way of the mission #until yesod gets too personal with criticizing vergilius hating himself - then its back to laser vision #I should write out a chart for this once i settle on it and think it over more lol #its hard thinking of how they'd act its been so long since i last read through ruina and vergilius is a hard guy to read for me

Unless Zues made a person out of thin air Lester Papadopoulos was an actual guy, so I'm just imagining after Apollo gets sent back to godhood mind you- this random 16 year old kid from Hell's Kitchen utterly confused once he finds out that he somehow ended up in the Corycian Cave (cave of delphi) in the middle of freaking Greece, then later finds out he's wanted in several American states on multiple accounts of dangerous driving

#unless Zues just created him out of thin air to host Apollo #and im just overthinking it #but that would be utterly hilarious #this literal white New Yorker in a middle of a Greek-speaking crowd #man only got a junior drivers license- no money- I DONT THINK HE CAN FLY FROM GREECE😭 #lester papadopoulos #trials of apollo #apollo #toa #pjo #percy jackson
