gog i still can't get over minish cap vaati's Everything. He is So Fucking Stupid (affectionate)
Like. This guy's establishing character moment is, in order:
he's introduced as having won an entire tournament to get to touch a magic chest and get a cool sword, which was the prize for said tournament
turns around and does a goddamn evil soliloquy TEN FEET AWAY FROM THE GUARDS who were about to hand him his macguffin on a platter
(like this man fucks up his own horribly planned daylight heist because he cannot keep a lid on the dramatics for FIVE FUCKING MINUTES, IN PUBLIC)
(THE BAR WAS ON THE FLOOR VAATI, FUCKING GANONDORF PLAYS THE PIPE ORGAN FOR HIS OWN BOSS INTRO AND HE STILL KNOWS BETTER THAN THIS SHIT)
proceeds to fight the guards (it is, admittedly, a curbstomp for him, but it still clearly wasn't his plan, because otherwise why bother with the tournament)
gloats evilly
opens chest, unleashing a whole bunch of monsters
exposits out loud about Zelda's powers like a nerd while she is actively charging up her magic powers to kick his ass
RECOGNIZES and IDENTIFIES said magic as the special power carried by the female royal line
completely fails to recognize it as the light force he is currently trying to get his hands on (he spends like 99% of the game not figuring this out.)
petrifies her
(i have no idea if link could have deflected this spell if he had managed to get the right angle with his shield but i like to think somewhere there is a very short and very funny alternate timeline where it happens)
(more importantly: no part of vaati's original presumed plan would have involved doing this. he 100% created this situation for himself by being an dramatic idiot and picking a fight for no good reason.)
looks in the chest
there's no light force
considering his stated goals he might be as confused as you are about the monsters tbh
uhhh
evil laugh
teleports the fuck out
He then proceeds to spend the rest of the game trying to figure out where the light force is and ends up having to wait for Ezlo and Link to figure it out first because he was, as far as I can tell, GENUINELY stuck on this part. He fucking kidnaps and impersonates the King, not for access to Zelda, but to… send guards to go look for the Light Force, presumably because he was either running out of ideas or genuinely thought that would work.
None of the guards even had any idea what he was talking about. He's not even good at impersonating the King. He's already sent like twenty people to the dungeon by the time you get there and it hasn't even been a week. Somehow the game spins this as a cunning plan and clever manipulation or something.
(Meanwhile the guards are just. Poking around in random bushes and shit hoping to find the light force. One of them asks you what you think it might look like.)
Zelda is literally right next to the throne and Vaati does not figure it out until you find an actual honest-to-goodness LORE TABLET spelling out that the Light Force is Stored in the Zelda, at which point he's like "ahahaha you've done my work for me this was definitely my plan all along" and takes over the castle and throws a bunch of monsters at you to stall for time while he figures out how to extract the force from her. Somehow he still doesn't think to actually lock the fucking door.
#vaati#minish cap#loz#mc#he's my stupid little squeak squeak and i love him#meta#op#sorry this got long but i have So Many Words about this little bastard#i think he's a really fun foil to ganondorf tbh -#ganondorf looks like a brute force guy but in practice tends largely toward manipulating and long cons and cunning#the appearance of dumb muscle but is actually refined and clever and skilled while also still being built like a brick wall#vaati looks like a classic scheming squishy wizard guy but actually is just cheating and does almost all his nonsense very directly#and his plans tend to be either Do X / ??? / Profit stuff or barely exist at all#to the point where og four swords is gated primarily by your ability to convince great fairies to help you rather than vaati stopping you#ganondorf is a guy given power who wants a magic wish granting artefact#vaati is a guy given a magic wish-granting artefact who decides he wants more power now actually#vaati has had a significant minion approximately once (shadow link) and that was in shared custody with ganon

I ... I really like how Kaidan is this man in his 30s who is confident and kinda quiet but exudes this aura of sureness in his words and actions - and then you have a strong presence in Shepard who is a leader, confident in their role as Commander, but not always sure of themselves when it comes to their subordinates/friends once the mantle of Commander comes off.
"Are you flirting with me?" - this line from Shepard sounds more like they're asking for confirmation that not only does a crew mate like them, but is interested in them. Interested in them, outside of the Commander title, and them as a person. Kaidan reassures them - even when he gets turned down the night before Eden, he still comforts Shepard.
I like that over the course of the series it seems to flip, where Shepard becomes confident in themselves in their work and relationships/friendships (much more out of necessity) and Kaidan falls more and more into this uncertainty with his personal connections, and most importantly, with Shepard. Just like Shepard, he doesn't compromise his work or his morals but you can see that on the personal side he's second guessing everything everything he knew about Shepard.
The ME3 romance is Shepard taking care of Kaidan the same way he took care of them in the first game. It makes me gush how much Kaidan gets back to his confident self from ME1 if your Shepard decides to pursue him again and how you build up that trust once more. Kaidan is much more confident in his relationship with Shepard, much like how he did to the Commander during the romance in ME1, and he allows himself to trust and be honest again.
Him asking if the Commander is flirting with him in the hospital? That's a mirror of what Shepard was doing - feeling - in the first game. Does Shepard feel the same way? Are they still interested after seeing him lose control of his anger at Horizon? Was he wrong to assume they wanted to end what they had?
I love me the dynamic between Garrus and Shepard (bros for LIFE), but there's something so wonderful about Kaidan saying he wanted to be that comfortable space, that safe person, for Shepard that just tickles my romantic side especiallg seeing how it looks like they swap roles by the time ME3 rolls around.
not to be too blunt or anything, but if i could make out with this ask and the meta you just wrote, i would. mwah. master craft. i am genuinely so honored and flattered you shared this with me - thank you! i literally never even thought about it this way before, but holy shit you are so RIGHT. right down to the fact that kaidan now technically outranks shepard as major in me3; he is a lot more confident in his profession and position as a leader in his own right. hell, its his main priority (up until the moment he decides to take shepard at their word during the citadel confrontation...).
it’s clear that romanced or not, shepard’s death hit kaidan and it hit kaidan HARD. no doubt that he recoiled back into his shell after that, and especially after shepard joins cerberus and causes a whole slew of misunderstandings, confusion, and people being kept out of the loop. it’s really, really sweet to see him bounce back after that.
even with a shenko that starts in me3 (with mshenko primarily, but also fshenko where the romance path is cancelled before it can even begin)… while kaidan never takes his shot in me1, and its directly stated that kaidan wants to avoid acting out of line with such a serious and professionally focused shepard (in his words, shepard was “always so focused on the work back then. the mission was everything,” to which shepard replies, “it’s true. i’ll never know what i missed.”). however, over the course of the plot he still manages to get shepard to warm up around him, becoming good friends w them and dealing with ashley’s death together.
so really, we’re back to our original parallel. kaidan was the one more assured in personal relationships while- wait. hold on. kaidan’s initial struggle in dropping formalities in this route could also be attributed to his uncertainty when it comes to working with shepard. this would be filed into kaidan being more uncertain when it comes to his work and interacting with his more ‘accomplished’ and emotionally constipated/serious commanding officer. SORRY. sorry. as i was saying, kaidan was the one more assured in personal relationships, while shepard was the opposite. and gah. GAH. taste. by design.
also, to add to your original take, his certainty in his actions are called into question in me3 too. he doubts his behavior towards shepard, he tries to sit down and think through the good people who were caught up in cerberus, he questions how the illusive man spiraled into the person he is and if he was ever a good person. its just good. sorry my thoughts are so jumbled and im just word vomiting as i write this reply. truly a failing grade paper on my part, i hope you dont mind!!
as for garrus, agreed! garrus feels like a really touching sort of “mentorship” ride or die comrades dynamic that builds over the course of the plot while kaidan definitely has the above mentioned parallels and has the “equals who can help bring out the best in each other’s weaknesses” thing.
also i made a meme just because of this ask.
#asks#mass effect#kaidan alenko#shenko#op ur mind is huge im sorry if this reply is incoherent. i have so many thoughts but im so bad at wording them. im so normal i promise. I P

i have been scrolling through ur page and noticed that u tend to put long, thoughtful tags underneath nearly every post u reblog & i just thought that was very endearing since the general trend is short and concise. im not sure why i felt the need to write u and let u know, but i just felt very compelled to. pls never stop being u.
this is so very sweet of you!! it's an old habit that i have held onto for the longest time, mostly due to the fact of tags being excellent for organization (my beloved) but also as a kind of extra space for whatever else you'd like to include without actually including it in the post when others share it for themselves! it's that perfect mixture of private n public.
for this blog specifically it's something that i enjoy since it's really an exercise or activity in enjoyment / enrichment? i like to think about why i was so inclined to reblog it, to pin it up to this lil space on the interwebs that's all my own. whether that's the colors, or the wording of things, or just what it makes me think about or feel, it's just a really lovely way of considering it all a little deeper!
which is not something that comes easy, or at minimal energy, sometimes! my likes are extensive (i keep attempting to clean them out and bring back my queueing system but we are up to 5k and i am very tired at the moment, lol) for that reason, and it's like a small goal to try to chip away at them over time, to see what treasure i can discover today.
alternatively, it's also a really nice near - time capsule of a thing; to be able to comb through my archive and see what has changed in my outlook, what sticks out to me now versus then, is really fascinating to see how far i've come and what's changed. there's something so lovely about time being instilled so deeply into this lil mini game of online scrapbooking that i adore; so i'm peached n overjoyed that you find some joy in it as well!!
this is all to say: thank you sm and i hope you try it out for yourself if it's something you think you might have fun with! let me know how it goes :)
#q&a.#birdsong.#alt: it's that autistic rizz u know 🤙 i have so many words for everything and tumblr gives me a (semi) reserved space for them !#esp. since i don't really enjoy the idea of clogging up op activity feeds w/ my miniature observational essays.#tags are that right about of personal n private and i just adore ittttt. it's the reason i've stuck w/ tumblr so long.#i love that they work as such great organizational tools at the same time as being a space for extra things as well! a double hitter of fun#but also this made my entire night; i am continually surprised people take the time to read my silly lil thoughts!!! thank u for ur time <3

GIF by barrowsteeth
you know elle’s lil foot pop during her kiss with tao? i’m having thoughts about how it relates to her character development.
season 2 elle is in a very different place than season 1 elle. season 1 elle was at a transitional point in her life - she’d come out fairly recently and only just moved from truham to higgs, where everyone was a stranger and she was the only trans girl. but in season 2 she seems to be a lot more secure in her identity and a lot more confident in general. she’s reconnected with her friends, gotten more comfortable flirting with tao, been accepted to lambert, and even made trans friends who she can be herself around!
and the foot pop is a stereotypically feminine thing, a symbol of feminine happiness in a romantic context. elle gets to have similar experiences as the other girls around her - such as wearing a dress to prom, getting flowers from her crush, and this! not that traditionally gendered things are the be-all and end-all of trans joy, of course, but it’s genuinely very meaningful to see elle enjoy them 🩷
#heartstopper#heartstopper season 2#osemanverse#elle argent#heartstopper spoilers#my words#the transness in s2 makes me so so happy#elle and naomi and felix and their beautiful friendship and their beautiful voices <333#this isn’t coherent but there are so many thoughts for so many different things bouncing around in my head#elle is in there battling a bunch of other characters lmao#also Do Not source this gif from me. it’s not mine. be a decent person and get permission from op like i did#someone did that a few weeks ago and when i asked them to edit the credits they agreed but never did :/#wait sorry forgot to tag#kissing#for those of y’all who are like me and have it filtered lol

Actually, I really wish Tumblr as a whole was less comfortable using feminizing language for gay men, especially gay East Asian men.
#unforth rambles#brought to you by the person i saw call chu wanning 'mo ran's mother' and the person who defended them#putting aside the question of accuracy re his role in mo ran's life#the words parent and father both exist yall#like idk but also wtf#see also girlboss and such being applied to gay men#idk i feel like im in the vast minority on this one#but my whole life ive seen gay men feminized in real life against their will#no matter how masc they were or wanted to be everything became fem#maybe im just to old to be with the times on why this is cute and funny abd okay#but given tumblr demographics and all#like shit like this is imo why so many women and afab nb people in fandom get accused of fetishizing#we older queers remember when doing this was considered disgusting homophobia actually#and imo it goes double or triple when they gay men in question are east asian#i really wish we could just fuckin stop#to be clear im not saying it IS fetishizing im saying i wish there was more awareness of the history of forced feminizing language#being used towars gay men in general and toward east asian men regardless of sexuality#for a lot of people i gotta think the knee jerk reaction to this kinda language being used is these context isnt teehee how cute#its ew who would say that#anyway i blocked op on the mo ran stuff but it still left a bad taste in my mouth

Okay, I've been thinking a lot about that whole thing with using the term "unreliable narrator" for Shen Yuan, and I want to throw in my two cents.
(looong explanation under the cut)
There are two layers to storytelling - narration and focalisation.
A narrator is the voice telling the story; it will usually be either a character inside the story (intradiegetic narrator) or a being outside of the story (extradiegetic narrator) who usually knows at least some of the things that the character/s are thinking or feeling.
Focalisation is about the being whose thoughts the narrator is conveying. A story written in the 1st person pov where a character is narrating their own life would have homodiegetic focalization. A 3rd person pov where the narrator is someone outside of the story would have heterodiegetic focalization. A story where the narrator's knowledge is unlimited has zero focalization.
What we have in SVSSS is a story narrated by a (seemingly) omniscient being, so an extradiegetic and heterodiegetic narrator. Thus, the narrator is someone outside the story, not SY, and calling him an unreliable narrator is wrong. Right?
No! SVSSS has internal focalization, meaning that the narration is focused on the thoughts and feelings of a character, in this case Shen Yuan. (As opposed to external focalization where the narration is limited to just the setting, what characters are doing, etc without delving into their thoughts).
What we read in the story are Shen Yuan's thoughts and feelings in the 3rd person. So far so good - nothing weird there. The trouble comes in the form of the fact that obviously, somewhere along the way, SY's actual thoughts/feelings get filtered/censored, so to speak, and we read a stripped down/edited version of them. This means that somewhere along the line, someone is unreliable. But we don't know who - maybe we are reading a straight up transcription of SY's thoughts and he is just that much more delusional than we thought. Maybe the narrator is leaving some things out, or isn't granted access to his "true" thoughts. It's impossible to tell.
The only thing we know for sure is that we are reading what we are meant to believe to be what SY sees happening/thinks about/feels. What we do not know is whether or not that is the objective truth.
So - even though Shen Yuan isn't the "narrator" by definition, it is still through his eyes that we see the events of SVSSS happening. There are no truly objective statements in SVSSS - it's all composed of Shen Yuan's thoughts, and who knows how much of the truth is lost to his mental gymnastics. As I said before, we don't know where exactly the unreliabilty comes from, but unless you want to have to write out this entire explanation every time and still not even have a definitive answer, let's just say that Shen Yuan is the unreliable one for simplicity's sake.
TL;DR it's fine to call Shen Yuan an "unreliable narrator" and to pull the "oh but he isn't narrating the story" is to pointlessly argue semantics. We all know what we mean by "unreliable narrator". it's not that deep. just laugh at the joke and move on. thanks for coming to my tedtalk
#this might be a bunch of rambling#i kinda have a headache and also it's 3 am#i probably could have said all this in half as many words. alas#svsss meta#svsss#my credentials are: english major#literature minor#xoxo#and yes this is very much inspired by that post where op made a joke calling all three mxtx mc's unreliable narrators#and someone threw a fit in the notes#like pls if you want to debate literary devices so bad just get off of tumblr and go to uni#tag for things to quote in arguments#miao

#i like this blog bc i can just say things i cant on my other one 😭 or at least delete it before people see it#but so many of those dating [x] character moodboards and aesthetic posts or whatever r just so.... white 😭😭#half the time it's some white dude w dyed hair or white dude cosplaying or just some racially ambiguous but pale as fuck man as the chrctr.#and then the dating aesthetic pics r always the palest and thinnest pinterest aesthetic couple pics....#like... its getting tew close to polypore-wattpad days for me...#even the ones that are like insert character's hands or body irl like........#i GET the point of those it's nice to have a visual for reference and im not saying everyone doing it w/ malicious intent#but the fact that its so common and doesn't cross peoples minds is also equally telling#and when there is a moldboard or 'inclusive' dating post its always (a) by request which means it wasn't the first thought of the op...#and (b) again is like .... the most sterilized racially ambiguous 'poc' 😭😭😭😭😭😭#the way people cant even use words in fics to describe readers or NOT make reader white and now we've been reduced to pictures#that just make it more blatant end it all i beg 😭😭😭

Btw hey can people stop being fatphobic when they talk about patrick??? You don't have to like him but I'm so tired of seeing people talk about his appearance negatively in a way that is obviously linked to his weight. Would you say the same things about his appearance or judge him the same way if he was skinny? Probably not.
#i dont know what the intended nterpretation op of that post meant for it to have#or if they realized how their words came off#but just in general so many people are seemingly unable to be normal about patricks appearance#:(

Losing my mind at the fact that Aziraphael's love for earth and humanity started because Crowley shared the experience of eating with him. I like to think it happened immediately for Crowley, when he created the galaxies and stars.
It also parallels my personal headcanon for how they fell in love. For Aziraphael, it being with a small act of service that first opens the door, and things build up over time; vs Crowley instantly loving something made up of seemingly insignificant things that everyone else overlooks or brushes off. And we see this throughout their relationship where Crowley goes out of his way to perform small acts to the point Zira knows that he enjoys doing things for him and provides him opportunities to do so, and with Crowley noticing Zira's little idiosyncrasies and committing them to memory.
Like for Zira in season 1 waiting for Crowley to rescue him from the french revolution, or when he didn't miracle the paint off his suit because he knew Crowley would do it. Then there's the conversation with Nina where he admits that he purposely gives Crowley space to show off his love language.
And it shows for Crowley with how he fixes up the bookshop after the ball because he knows how Aziraphael keeps it, or whenever he offers to take him out for a nice meal when they're celebrating in both seasons. Even the scene when he yelled at the man feeding bread to the ducks in ducks makes me think that he's picked this up spending time with Aziraphael feeding them like in season 1.
They really love earth and each other in such different ways but they also intersect in how they show that love and its killing me.
#this was just going to be a post about crowley sharing the ox rib and triggering aziraphael to love earth#but my thoughts kept coming and i really needed to dump them here and share them so i dont fucking explode#its taken an hour to organize this into words afsghsfdgsj#good omens#good omens 2#go2 spoilers#good omens 2 spoilers#aziraphale#crowley#aziracrow#ineffable husbands#ive written theyre names so many times in this one post that they dont look like words anymore#op
