Things I think about all the time regarding Peter B is how a lot of his movement feels almost like laziness but it's actually just an absurd amount of skill and experience. he's been doing this longer than anyone else there, so he knows how that villain speech is going to play out, doesn't look when he fires a web because he knows exactly where it's going to land, and he's absolutely able to predict where Miles is going to go and catch up to him when no one else can. because peter b has been at this longer than everyone else there and it's literally second nature to him. give me more middle aged experienced superheros please.

I think basically everything that can be said about that interview regarding Gale has been said but I did see some people be like “Well, but Gale is annoying and his stans are just woobifying him” and like. 
Like, okay. Gale is annoying. And Lae’zel is mean, Shadowheart is a bitch, Astarion is a cunt, Karlach is happy all the time all the time and Wyll is boringly well adjusted. That’s…the first impression you get of them in Act 1. That’s not even their full arc in Act 1, that’s literally the first few minutes you get with them! And then all of Act 1 is just undoing all of that.
In Gale’s specific case, being annoying isn’t even his main flaw. Like it gets brought up, I think because the writers wanted to make sure we would know this is a flaw he actually has in case you, like me, did not even notice you were supposed to be annoyed by him. But it’s not a serious issue or something it’s even remotely implied he has to work on. They still all end up liking each other and working together and flirting at each other. He’s a nerd that talks a lot and unless you end up in a jealousy convo no one really cares. His blissfully happy ending is to become a professor. His infodumping is so good the narrative lets him do it forever.
Gale being annoying (or being bothersome for eating your artifacts) is the player’s problem. You don’t have to like him, you don’t have to like anyone, but the narrative is not there to make a big deal out of it. Why should it? Everyone is flawed and then they get better. If you ignore Gale for being annoying or stake Astarion for being a vampire or forget to save Mizora condemning Wyll to the hells it’s a you problem, just like it’s a you problem if you push Shadowheart to embrace Shar and then Shadowheart is cold to you. 
Which is why the writers saying “Well, Gale is annoying so the fact that he sacrifices himself helps him redeem himself” is bonkers (just like rewriting Lae’zel lines to be more palatable is bonkers). Like it’s not just a bad take, it’s a “Gale was annoying so I ignored him the whole game so I don't know what his deal is” take. From the writers. Of the game.
And the rest applies to other weird instances of writing during the game. Like yeah, you can treat Gale horribly, you can treat everyone horribly. You can take advantage of Astarion, you can sell out Shadowheart, you can cheat on Wyll with Mizora and then tell him it’s his own fucking fault for not “pulling out”. But the game doesn’t try to imply that it’s funny that Astarion dissociates during sex. But it somehow is when Gale has to be persuaded into group sex, bolts and then the morning after he is like “Can we just never talk of this again”. And like Gale isn’t special in this regard, there is some stuff with Halsin, Wyll (no seriously what was that short) and even Raphael that is frankly appalling, but it really doesn’t help with the “we just never talked to Gale” vibe. Like if you romance Gale there is a line in the brothel where you can say that if you wanted boring sex you would have just had sex... with Gale. 
Gale “I read tons of erotic books and I have so many ideas. Let's do it in the Weave so we can try as many as possible” Dekarios. 
Also, nevermind all the serious implications, “He wasn’t ready for [his sacrifice] before but now he is” it’s like not even what happens. Like it’s not even what he says. I should not be reading an interview with the writers of a game and be like “did they just skip all of the dialogue”. 
(That interview was also very weird about Karlach but also I just feel like that interview was weird in general, like they just were in a rush and couldn’t really talk in depth about anything so it was vague lines for everyone, it's just that those about Gale particularly sucked).

i get why people would opt to say walter was a terrible person since the beginning, but i think that's like, the most boring takeaway you can get about his character. he was already insecure and prideful from the start, and it's what would hurt him and keep hurting him. but like, being insecure and prideful are regular traits any regular person can have. the actions that he makes because of these traits, which in turn keep fueling his ego more and more, are what makes him an interesting character. and he was already pretty capable of hurting other people, but he wasn't doing it out of malice, but more because of careless selfishness at first. what makes walter terrifying is that the more he does it, the more he becomes aware of what he's doing, and the more he keeps going and keeps being more and more meticulous and deliberate about what he does that hurts people and even to the point when it was specifically to hurt people.
i think the traits were there in walter from the beginning—the pilot did a pretty good job of establishing how powerless he's felt all his life and just how susceptible he is to letting this newfound perceived power get to his head so easily. he even says this explicitly in 5x06 "Buyout" when he tells jesse "i'm not in the money business, i'm in the empire business". but saying he was this monster from the start kind of implies he didn't undergo through a character arc throughout the show when it's quite literally what he did. he got worse. so much worse. through mostly the fault of his own fragility.
#idk if i put it into words right but i'm just musing#was walter a good person when brba started? up in the air. but his family genuinely adored him. despite feeling like a loser teacher#some of his coworkers actually really liked and respected him. he was just as much of a regular person as anyone else was tbh#you know it's interesting that he and gale basically have the same motivations. why jump to meth of all things. why go from 0 to 100 when#it sounds COMPLETELY ridiculous. but they were both very passionate about chemistry who felt like their potentials were wasted and felt#like they were finally putting their skills to good use again. getting to flex their muscles and shit. whenever they cook better purer meth#than most other people. i think it's a really genius idea to have this premise for the show lol#cz as much as walter is motivated by him feeling like he desperately has to take control of his own life he also is a scientist at heart#who desperately needs to apply his knowledge and skills somewhere where it would feel gratifying#seriously dude you could've tried to get a paper published or two or something. djhdidhd#but the academe has its own Politics and whatnot. so one could only speculate why walt didn't get to pursue that any more#(aside from the whole grey matter industries thing)#anyway uhhh i hope i get the post across lol not to sound cheesy cliche but brba is a corruption slash character deterioration arc#quite literally the whole point is that he Didn't Start Off Like This And He Gets Worse#again. he already had some of his bad tendencies and traits but it's like. we all do that's not necessarily inherently make or break#it's what he DOES and KEEPS DOING. CONSCIOUSLY that turns him into the horrifying man he is by the end of it all#so i just think if your biggest takeaway is Walter Was Always A Monster then you're just missing the whole damn point#op#brbaposting

i think everyone should listen to kikuo. i think kikuo's music is the closest someone can get to a spiritual encounter with something beyond human comprehension. i don't think anyone ever has or ever will again comprehend music in the way kikuo does. okay. do you understand

I stay awake at night thinking about night how Ranni gave a small sliver of The Rune Of Death to Rykard in case he had to fight Maliketh, who is canonically one of the strongest creatures in Elden Ring
Like
did she give it to him because she thought there was a non zero chance of a chance of him winning if it came down to a "Fuck It We Ball" moment between a Scalie and a Wolf.
Or did she give it to him because he helped her with the logistics and planning of jumping their kind of half brother with the Twink Obliterating Squad known as the Black Knives?
Or was it because Rykard was her brother and she'd like to keep her cool older satanist, rock and roll, death metal brother that wasn't a crazy catholic horse boy (No hate to Radahn) alive?
God damn it Miyazaki! Tell us before I start thinking Rykard was the Carian version of Malenia and Miqullea!
This has been the first edition of Cosmic's sleep deprived Ramblings About Random Lore Question Fuckery.
But do not worry.
There WILL be more.
Eventually.
Okay first, your way to describe things is absolutely hilarious xd I could not stop losing it at your "terms" while reading this ask dsjhfdsh
Second,
Tumblr media
I know I am infamous for answering 50x times larger than the ask itself even when there is nothing to talk about, but this time I am genuinely not all that sure what to think myself? As in, everything you said does make sense and I am not sure what to add here! It is all three.
Ranni and Rykard WERE plotting against the Golden Order together, which I could not quite say about Radahn, so I'd say the one SURE way to be safe against this pain in the ass Death dog would be.. to have some Death by yourself? You know, just like a vaccine! These two siblings were close in a unique way, so it is only natural for me that Ranni DID, in fact, consider the non-zero chance that he'd succeed and have to fight him before she would. The "let the COOLEST heretic win" x) Not to mention that Rykard would be more 'known' unlike her who disappeared for indefinite time.. So yeah, maybe he even had a bigger chance to fight the mfer first.
From their perspective, that's it, as they would not know Maliketh was too busy having his crunchy Death breakfasts in religious guilt!
Also, I do appreciate the sentiment of wanting to share with me specifically, thank you ;-; Let's just say it is something I needed today... But yeah, whereas I know everything (and more) about BB, with ER there are STILL things to surprise me or that I do not have many thoughts on yet, despite the game being one year old...

A while ago my mom, my sister and I created something called the Kenergy Test. Basically, the point is, you gather two or more people who know the same person (works best on men but really it could work on anyone) and you make a list, right. The aim is to get the person to mansplain as much as possible.
So, what's the list? You have, one subject for each person (subjects like politics, or really anything, as long as it ends in the person being extremely likely to mansplain it, so having people who know the victim make the list is rlly important), and then nb of people -1 jokers. Basically, the personal subjects can only be mentioned by the person they're assigned to, while the jokes can be used by anyone, and there is no limit of jokers per person, so really, someone can steal all the jokers if they feel like it. Important!!! It's advised not to use all the subjects in one conversation, because the tested person might understand that something MIGHT be going on.
Next, the points. Each personal subject corresponds to two points, and each Joker corresponds to one point. Everytime the tested mansplains a subject for more than 5 minutes, the corresponding points are added to the final mark. Each subject can be used once. The final mark has to be brought back to 10 or 20 depending on how close it is to one of each (from 2 to 15, bring back to ten, from 16 to 20+, bring back to 20).
In the end, the more points there are, the higher the Kenergy!
Of course, the rules, marking system and criteria can change, but this is the main version we made!
Have fun measuring your surrounding's Kenergy! :))

I like the pattern of the Mad Ducktor where he likes Gyro, because Gyro is him, but then... He’ll look at Gyro and say, “Hold still I’m gonna fix your life” and he’s a fucking evil supervillain clone so he just makes everything worse. That’s great
What’s better is when he started out with “Let’s get Gyro paid” to “Let’s get some muffins” to “Let’s get revenge on Scrooge” to “Let’s destroy Paperinik.” His intentions started out good and then devolved and all he got Gyro in the end were Capital-P Problems

Tell me why my 40 something year old uncle is the only person other than my CHILD cousin who petulantly demanded a second piece of bday cake and finished it (without checking if anyone else wanted it - including the actual bday haver my brother) and also barely did anything all day and whined while we jarred tomato sauce and did the "easy" jobs we normally save for the kids so they can feel like they're helping bc he was "too tired" to do any work, while I worked all day with a bum wrist AND hip without complaining as did my elderly grandparents and my father who is RECOVERING FROM SURGERY and he's so demanding and makes his mother/my grandmother do almost everything for him and complains always about everything and we all low-key thought him getting married 2 yrs ago would maybe fix this but his wife is almost as bad and I'm just
