Javier's jawline is so sharp 😤

My favorite post I’ve ever seen in spn tumblr was something to the effect of:

If Dean Winchester isn’t in love with Castiel, the only other possibility is that Jensen Ackles wants to fuck Misha Collins so bad that it makes Dean Winchester look stupid.

And if you’re the one who made that post please know that I legitimately think about it at least once a day. I think it’s so funny. Every single time I see a jenmish/cockles post or edit, I think of it. Every time I even see their names together or just hear in passing that they did a panel together or something. I just. I think of it all the time. Thank you for it.

tbh one of, if not my absolute favorite part about ffxiv, is the small little moments/sections where nothing super big or like. Plot Important happens, but that give both the characters and us, the players, some much appreciated down-time to just. Feel things. And to process what's happened and what's going on or to just. Let us exist, in the moment. In a much more grounded and human way than when there's Big And Important Things happening.

The biggest(imo) and earliest example of this is right after the Waking Sands get raided in ARR, and WoL turns to the church for guidance. The entire section of us helping them gather and bury our fallen comrades, and especially bringing Noraxia home to Little Solace so she can be laid to rest in her homeland, by her own people and in their own cultural ways, was so so important to me.

Because it wasn't just replacable allies cast aside for shock value anymore, it was real. These deaths were real and meant something. I got to actually process what just happened, and I got to watch Banana go through it right with me. And not only did it make it feel real, it also gave me a sense of closure. These people, these friends, are dead, but they also got to be treated with the respect they deserve and laid to rest properly.

And that, more than anything else, made me want to save the world. It's grounded and grounding. This world, and these people, meant something to me, the player.

And there's tons of stuff like that throughout the game, especially in shadowbringers and endwalker.

In shb we have, for example, Lyna venting her anger and frustration after the sin eater attack in Lakeland. She's on her knees yelling on the verge of tears while punching the ground, so furious at her helplessness and powerlessness, at everyone having come so far yet set back because some megalomaniacal tyrant deemed it so.

In ew we have Urianger being approached by Moenbryda's parents, who confront him about not confiding in them about his grief. When Bloewyda starts to scold him, he of course reacts guiltily, believing they blame him, only for him to be completely caught off guard when she instead goes in to hug him, telling him he should have let them grieve with him. And he just. Breaks down. He's been holding these feelings, this grief inside him all this time, and now that he is not only told it's okay to let it out, but by her very own parents at that, he just can't keep it in anymore. He cries for Moenbryda, right then and there, being held lovingly by her family.

And the thing is, these scenes aren't necessary, strictly speaking. The plot at large could go on without them, the events that happen around them are not changed by these moments in any way.

But still, they are so so important, to the world, to the characters, to the players. Everything feels real and impactful now, every death means something, every tragedy, every person, feels real.

And that, to me, is what makes this story so special.

Remember that time Aria Joie got her ass beat so spectacularly that the woman beating her up just straight up fell in love with her

Re-remembering this extremely funny exchange from when I was like 13 at gymnastics practice

Red Robin #14

When I said that redacted someday was going to run out of cute nicknames for his listeners and somebody answered the next nickname will be dickhead I will never forget about that

been thinkin about psychonauts 2 tonight. man that game had so many amazing moments that it's hard to choose a favorite, but imo nothing tops the hilariously abrupt slap in the face that was learning that the "ability unlocked" cutscenes were diegetic the whole time

At any given moment I am thinking about the champagne scene in chapter 11 of “you and me, we got big reputations”. It changed something within me, I will never be the same.

the fact that peter was looking at the selfie they took together right before wade kills him makes me sick.

thinking about how katniss describes peeta giving her the bread and the dandelion in the snow as giving her hope for the future, he is the dandelion

and then how she says that she and peeta grow back together, just like that dandelion grew despite it all

the scene in criminal minds where morgan is teaching reid to swing a baseball bat is so funny like why are you, derek morgan, a straight man, telling your male best friend to watch your hips and how they move youre insane for that
