eye contact?? they can have civil eye contact??????

i love seeing out of context posts about long-running stories with deep lore because it's always shit like "MAJOR SPOILER WARNING!! i can't believe that the metallic athenaeum's envoy actually used never-ending dance of the 57th universe on rionne as if she's not LITERALLY the incarnate of august?!?!" it's like buddy boy thank you for the spoiler tag but all of those words are incomprehensible without at least 5 years of foreshadowed knowledge, 7 different fan theories, and 21 wiki entries

why do people actually get mad at rockstar for making john so cringefail in rdr2 like do you think he came out of the womb with rock hard morals and loving his wife?? the game is called red dead REDEMPTION. "ohhh rdr2 ruined john for me!!" do you not know what a redemption arc is

timeline in which aziraphale is in fact tasked with raising a new baby jesus in an orphanage run entirely by angels so there are no shenanigans nor interferences but the supreme archangel insists they hire at least one human who actually knows how to raise human children. a "human" eventually shows up. Jesus 2 is named Lucy <3

thinkin' about caspar...

also erm... fnaf movie yaoi..

pondering how there are surely other Ferrymen sailing the Styx, and how they may greet each other

okay but how much does id hate and blame us, really? how much of it is genuine pure unadulterated hatred

I don't think Id can really tell the difference between what they feel- it's all filtered through festering resentment and the little voice in their head that says that they have gone too far, too many times- that they don't deserve love because of how they are both in body and personality. A lot of what Id says is projection, meaning that they lash out/say mean things at hunter when really, they are mad at themselves.

I think this anon put it so well:

They try, in their own way. But everything Id says or does is through a core frustration that they have been unable to soothe for 200 odd years. That is a long time. And it just got worse; they were very jealous of the hunter who got to go home in "peace" while Id was a guinea pig to scientists, learning to be a part of a broken society while in the body of a ghost, all alone. They felt left for dead, abandoned, yet again; just how they felt as they drowned and hunter just watched.

The first murder attempts was Id just seeking contact, but the hunter was too deep in their own grief to see it, and Id decided to just keep reminding themselves that the hunter left them to die, watched them drown and didn't do anything. It just escalated from there. This anon - I saw it discussed in the discord too (and it was beautiful and heartbreaking and funny) is so spot on:

They absolutely have! They carry so much pain, so much regret and genuine resentment towards the hunter, and lost all their self worth through these years thinking themselves not worthy of saving, or loving. Kindness feels like a lie because that is what the past has proven, and what Id has convinced themselves of. It makes Id default to aggression because their head just goes !!!!! and sends out an avalanche of feelings that are impossible for Id to sort through. Violence is very simple, in comparison.

Hatred is far too simple of an emotion to explain how they feel. I don't think there's even a name for it.

Deep down inside, Id just wants to curl up in the hunters arms and finally grieve for everything they lost.

Thanks for the ask(s) :> I hope this makes sense.

hello im addicted to titan wizard

Mhok: I have something important I need you to know

Phojai: mm?

Mhok: I like Day

Phojai: obviously but what's the new information you wanted to tell me

I finally watched Interactive Introverts for the first time and immediately knew I had to learn the closing song on the piano!

Tried my best to write down what I played for anyone else who wants to try it. (Multiple pages, under the cut!) ❤️🤍

**all rights to the melody and original music go to Daniel Howell and Phil Lester, only the piano arrangement is mine**

it must have been so confusing tutoring subaru from a lugnican perspective, like, how the hell do you invent an entire syllabary all on your own and still be completely fucking illiterate

last post complaining about genshin's writing for the month Anyway i think blorbofication happening in canon is the best way i could describe a lot of the problems i have with it ex. kaeya's relationship with diluc (or klee) is almost the only focus we get on him now, other than his brief appearance in the sumeru archon quest which was just saying his backstory basically with very little actual reaction or characterization on his part OR dainsleif's (also a problem i have in the albedo homunculus reveal in shadows amidst snowstorms). i haven't done his hangout because i. don't care enough to sit through an hour for each route with the quality of content hoyoverse puts out but looking at the ending options i feel like. they missed the opportunity to expand on things we already had for kaeya in favor of Oh he babysits klee! Oh albedo is here! Spend money to pull albedo!Venti cameo! What do you mean him and amber have a complicated dynamic. What do you mean he's apparently beloved by the elderly of mondstadt and the one who wraps up all the incidents there. What do you mean bennett trusts him as an omniscient big brother according to his official cn character profile. We made him talk to diluc again isn't that enough kaeya for you? and it sucks because kaeya feels like a rubik's cube with an onion's layers and like one of their best character personalities in content where he's actually kaeya and not just diluc's brother who is sad and also pretty! we never see anything about his relationship with jean, who he is the Most Trusted Aide of, or mondstadt at large! because every day we get closer to fanon kaeya being canon kaeya and it's just. You can have canon kaeya and fanon kaeya will follow but if fanon kaeya is at the forefront you're just immediately losing all that depth and it's going nowhere

Let me know your thoughts in the reblogs <3

We haven’t seen each other in two years. Don’t you think that’s worth staying up a little past your bedtime? I’m tired. [A look of disappointment crosses Rayla’s face.] Fine. What do you want to talk about?
