Because I was too funny to die, here's the first of three posts archiving my "live" tweets for watching playthroughs of the FFXIII trilogy with Orion. Includes original timestamps, typos, and 2021 memes. I'll approximate GIFs if I have to.

Watching a playthrough of FFXIII, so here's my not-really-live tweet thread for my own amusement; not spoiler-free.

Me, seeing a pretty standardized "boy big and strong, girl small and nice" couple like Snow and Serah: T4T…

Love that every time Snow says something heroic and ends up digging his grave deeper, Hope is just like

Admittedly, even if I had FINALLY resolved myself to abandoning revenge, if Snow Villiers turned around and burped at me, I would suddenly no longer possess the presence of mind to open a survival knife and would instead body him over the balcony of a Palumpolum rest area.

Snow: I need everyone to stop trying to blow me up, these tits were expensive.
8:22 PM · Feb 6, 2021
okay this chapter is too long, WHERE'S SAZH

lmao when the Pompa Sancta parade started, I blurted out "oh, it's opera," and Orion immediately jumped into a baritone "MAAARIA!"

YOOO SHE WENT FOR IT

Serah 🤝 Vanille
Head in tiddies
2:06 PM · Feb 9, 2021
Snow: [talks for too long]
Fang: Man, I'm outta here.
Lightning: We have to stick together.
Fang: Oh. Okay :)
2:07 PM · Feb 11, 2021
WUH HUH SERAH AND VANILLE HAD A MEET-CUTE???
2:32 PM · Feb 11, 2021
One small thing that endeared me towards Hope is that we just watched a playthrough of The Sinking City, and both he and Reed do a similar pensive idle hand animation. Two good, complicated lads.

Rygdea to Raines
3:22 PM · Feb 12, 2021
(As the old adage goes, all humor is derived from excruciating pain because, if they don't come back around to the gravity of what happened with Raines, I don't know if I'll be able to take whatever "face the future with hope" thing they're gonna throw at me next.)
3:27 PM · Feb 12, 2021
anyways, cannot BELIEVE the pope took the opportunity to put his face in Snow's chest. it served literally NOTHING to pretend to be Serah for 0.5 seconds, and yet, he went for it.

Orphan: and I hit them with the goo goo gaga.
*turns all your friends into Cie'th*

The leading problem I have with XIII's story is that they'll present A Rule, and, if the rule gets broken, there isn't an explanation. It just worked out in a specific instance For Some Reason.
5:38 PM · Feb 14, 2021
Like, "we hoped really hard against all odds and it worked out" only works for the main characters. Lots of lofty ideas about faith and conviction that hold exactly zero water inside the narrative.
5:38 PM · Feb 14, 2021
It's a shame because characters will have an impactful moment that the story then minimizes in some way (again: Raines?!) or vice versa. Idk, some of the storytelling decisions are just too goofy to overlook when they abut emotional scenes.
5:44 PM · Feb 14, 2021
ANYWAYS THAT WAS PRETTY GAY OF THEM TO CRYSTAL FUSE INTO UHH HECAMUT. BAHATON. THE WAY THEY BAJA BLASTED TO SAVE COCOON.
WHO HOLD THE WORLD? GORLS.
5:48 PM · Feb 14, 2021
Fang: I'm lesbian.
Hope: I thought you were Pulsian.
End thread.

its genuinely fascinating that some people want to pretend like theres not a problem in fandom/media of a massive preference for male characters. like objectively its not good, thats why theres been such a push for well written fully realized female characters in media nowadays, i mean you look back the amount of shows/movies with (almost) entirely male casts is kind of stunning. a single token female character whos idk killed for the male protags story. representation matters, just bc its just "women" doesnt mean writing stories about women doesnt matter.

idk how to put this more smartly but theres a weird trend among online leftists who have circled right back around to this quasi-religious hatred of all material need and its just. sorry but needing money to stay alive isn't... greed. you're not selling out by doing an ad read esp if it's something you're doing as a job. even if the job is artistic in nature
anticapitalism is the main tenet here for sure but at the same time it helps to.., idk. not act like we spiritually need to start forfeiting all mortal goods bc it's the one path towards nirvana or something. every once in a while i notice people reinventing asceticism in the name of praxis and it's very Sigma Grindset but with a lefty hat

People trying to justify their dislike for Wyll (gross) seem to forget that he is a folk hero first and foremost. He's only a warlock BECAUSE he's a folk hero. He was so loyal to his family and city at such a young age that he was willing to sell his soul to a devil just to save them. It's not just an "evil" (debatable that warlocks are supposed to be evil) thing thrown in to give him an edge.
He (and his warlock class) isn't written as a "subversion" of the paladin trope. (Nor is he supposed to be like Alistair which is a stupid ass take.) Wyll is a knightly character with loyalty as his main trait who is also a fun guy. He isn't "goofy", he's charming; you know...like a knight. If you don't like him because you don't care for nice characters who want to do good, fine. That's a reasonable excuse. But it's unfair to try to twist it into him being a poorly written character because that just isn't true.
All of the main origin characters in BG3 are suffering under the thumb of someone who abuses and/or uses them. Wyll's is Mizora, a devil he turned to to save the people he loved. Not JUST because he wanted magic powers.
Also the justifications that say they don't care about him because he isn't tied to the main story—neither is Astarion 😐
