hopeless time loop. the way out isn’t to save everyone. the way out isn’t to save even one person. the way out isn’t to change anything. the way out is accepting how it happened the first time is how it always will be. that’s how you acted, that’s how they acted, that’s how you would have acted every time if you weren’t given the curse of hindsight. the way out is accepting you can’t fix the past; you can only forgive yourself for it.

#there's this game i love called little hope that plays with these ideas (though not with a time loop)#i do love time loops narratives that explore how a person is confronted with their life and their choices #when forced to live the same day over and over again #and i LOVE time loops that try to reverse mistakes made and lives lost #but to see a character put themselves through loops upon loops upon loops #trying to rectify past mistakes (especially in the case where people died) only to be confronted with the reality it isn't working #and even in a loop where they save everyone the loop just resets #because the universe is essentially saying 'no that isn't how it happened and you know that's not how it happened'#it compels me!#i feel similarly about time travel where time 'fights back'#like this idea that there is a central timeline that time does not like being diverted from #so it will try to course correct itself #you save lincoln from an assassination only for him to die in a train crash #it's a cool way to confront the idea of fate #anyway all tragedies are hopeless time loops thank you for coming to my ted talk #a shout into the void #1k

yeah, sorry, I can't come in to work today. yeah, I've got to think about how the tv adaptation of the last of us expertly made you comfortable with joel's violence through making you care about ellie enough it all feels justified so that by the time he gets to the hospital, you're genuinely conflicted about the carnage he enacts, some of which may not have been strictly necessary at the level of brutality he carries it out. yeah, it's gonna be all day

#the last of us #the last of us spoilers #tlou #tlou spoilers #joel miller #look #I just have a lot of feelings #and it's possible some people will look at this and be like #'no! it wasn't brutal! joel was protecting his babygirl!'#to which I would say #politely #you may have missed the central point that neil druckmann is always driving at in these games #which is: how much violence is okay in the service of love?#would you kill the world #would you kill any chance you have at having a fully trusting relationship with your child #just to keep them safe #also the way pedro played the whole thing....like sir what was going on in your head I must know!!!#idk if it was bc you're not playing joel #but it felt so much harsher than the game!#in a REALLY interesting way #full compliments to mr pascal #but like..........the clear eyed completely cold stone killer he turned into #the LACK of apparent fear and desperation #like.....what would ellie DO if she saw THAT guy! esp now post david #and the fact that that is the same man who was so careful with her #trying to draw laughs out of her and getting her attention without touching her #bc he knows she's still scared after david #and then the creeping realization that the thing he wanted to save in saving ellie #this burgeoning relationship with this daughter #is already unable to grow from the same place

As much as I love the BG3 community on Reddit, stuff like this really bothers me.

1.6k people have so little media literacy they think Gale being Mystra's kept wizard in Elysium after all she put him through somehow constitutes a good ending.

Like seriously wtf. No one would consider sending Astarion back to Cazador a good ending, even if Cazador magically offered to make him a true vampire.

Don't get me started on all the jokes about Wyll having the hots for Mizora. At least those are "jokes".

If nothing else this game has really opened my eyes to how utterly ignored men's abuse at the hand of a woman abuser is. Makes me sick.

#might as well hand Shadowheart over to Shar #i mean seriously why does the subtly of the abuse suddenly make it ok for all these people #it astonishes me how people identify the game's incredibly central theme is about power and abuse of authority #and discuss all the companion's victimization and ambitions accordingly #but somehow Gale is an exception and doesnt have a contribution to the former theme #bg3 #bg3 gale #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #sorry for the rant

WIP wsaturday (@spongynova tysm for the tag :33)

i'm not saying i'm planning an eine kleine (kenshi yonezu) animatic but. Hmmm. you cannot tell me the entire song isn't just the aos movies from bones' pov. and the colors work so good. and i have a really really interesting parallel i could fit in there. hmmm indeed

going with rachie's lyrics but i redrew the original music video roughly frame by frame on a whim (might help to play through the mv once then look through the redraws so they make more sense lmao sorry about that)

warning for aos spoilers!!
