You know idk if it's just me being oblivious af but mxtx sure does enjoy putting her protags through the trolley problem when it comes to her works huh /j
#mdzs#mxtx#i say this not to be critical but because she really does prove how time and again#people want a scapegoat and an easy target to blame#and so much of her work is abt proving how faulty these philosophical absolutes are--nothing is that simple.#literally the arguments made to put everything on wwx (at least for now) appear to be faulty at best#i mean sure sometimes he puts his foot in his mouth but like ;;;;;;;; the kid is just doing his best wtf#everyone out here like WWX IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU except for lwj and i'm just like#1. hes literally like 16 yrs old or smth#2. whether or not he stepped in during the cave scene was kind of a non-question??????#the wens were so clearly going to engage in egregeious violence regardless of the rationalizations that came after#pointing fingers is legitimately pointless and fallacious logic#if mianmian wasnt targeted theres really no guarantee smth similar wouldnt have happened#furthermore working tg and refusing to play by wens' rules was p much the only feasible option#lwj was young and afraid and had lost so much but he still had enough clarity to insist on working tg#i also really love what he said abt suffering bc its just true.#the way he claps back to his uncle by saying that nobody would be spared violence and atrocity#the only choice they had was to try to band tg and mitigate the dmg--basically 'war is hell'#i find it such a stark and lovely contrast to the common perception of others abt him#that lwj stands alone and thinks of no one else; quite the contrary#he's v self-contained and v disciplined but he's not indifferent to suffering or apathetic#i think so much of the natural love that blooms between wwx and lwj is rooted in their mutual desire to do good#wwx wants to help--he loves to see people smile. he would do anything to protect the ppl he loves#lwj is honestly the same--he's just more abt structure and stability#wwx is more spontaneous and more attuned to the people around him#im a little shocked that people werent able to tell lwj was just as obsessed with him#just bc wwx is loud and mischievous about his interest doesnt really???? to me mask the ways lwj is so responsive. also i ????????#still don't understand the mental gymnastics of madame jiang insisting it was all wwx's fault when she literally targeted wen's mistress ->#in retaliation???????????????? all this 'pick your battles what the fuck is wrong with you wwx' and she goes and instigates their wrath??#i mean idk fellas i was just sitting there like 'you could have handled this so many ways and you picked the TNT option. wat.'

#personal#sometimes i wish i knew what it was like to be someone people want to talk to#or at least had students who could listen to what i say for just five minutes#god i hate yelling then they say thats all i do when if i talked normally no one fucking listens#then i take it way too hard when they say they dont like me when at least i stepped up to take their class#a class that had already ran off one teacher#but no im too useless because i actually make them do work and tried to have rules#last year was hard but at least i felt fulfilled by the end of the year with all my classes#i have never craved the end of the year so much or as much as i have this year#its not even both classes either its just this one that makes me dread working with them as much as they apparently hate me#sadly i can understand why their teacher left#and i know im not the best replacement since im learning how to teach them as they learn from me#but im just tired#its only a month left but i am so ready to never see any of them again#but depression does as it does and makes me question if im even good enough to get another job#one actually teaching my correct subject that i love#i hope like hell that i get a job and one i really want because i dont want to have to come back to this school#*it has the most substitute jobs#i dont like being loud even if no one believes me i dont like being mean though i know when i have too i just dont feel good enough#if i was i think i would have a job by now i mean im 28 and its been 5 schools in 5 years#sorry being sad on main#if you read this#thanks

disappears off the face of the earth and reappears just to say hey have you guys seen this show?
#you guys should watch this show#lidia poët on netflix it's so delightful#usually like faux feminist historical shows really grate on my nerves but this one was genuinely a good time#maybe because it's funny#or the relationships are all really delightful between the eponymous lidia poët and everyone around her#or maybe im just gay#i wont deny it plays a role#the OUTFITS#also i think theres this like needle to thread is that the idiom when you make a story about like a real life woman who faced sexism#bc like you need conflict to have a story but sometimes that leads to the woman in question just constantly being beaten down#you know what i mean?#sometimes it feels like that#but i think this one does it well#i think bc like lidia faces all the sexism every time she steps out of the house#and also inside the house from her brother and sister in law#but she also has people - men - who love and support her..........disobedience#i think thats well balanced i think thats why it works#also shes just great#funny and obstinate but also kind#theres one moment i wanted to put in the video but couldnt find the right place for#actually two#one where shes talking abt a client to her brother and shes like 'shes an anarchist and a bit of a bitch but shes also innocent' fghjkgh#another time shes talking to her niece abt her crush lorenzo and shes like 'you can tell me. as a lawyer i offer confidentiality'#and her niece is like 'technically youre not a lawyer anymore'#and lidia is like '......bitch. theres nothing wrong with liking him you know'#it's just really cute hgkghh i love the relationships she has with literally everyone in her life#if you wanna watch it for like the lawyer thing you can skip it theres no lawyering being done really#because shes not allowed in court rip#shes more like a bit of a sherlock holmes#you know like the american one with the female watson whats it called.........elementary

#these are just some thoughts re: friendship as a result of tonight that i need to jot down somewhere but#realising that i really do have a strict and set idea of Good Friend(ship) and what that entails to me#and id written people off bc i wasn't yk ~receiving love or friendship the way id prefer and i was angry with them for that/hurt about it#did i communicate that to them though? nooo. was i fully right in that? also no. like just bc i felt unheard didn't fully mean#that they were doing something wrong. they were trying in their own way (and sometimes they weren't really or it just wasn't nice)#but that's about how we match and how we communicate right? this is so silly that's so basic but it never fully clicked for me like this#i was blaming them for stuff and building up resentment without ever expressing that (and i still haven't yk dhshsjd)#and i think where i went ~wrong was in thinking that bc i felt that way they weren't ~giving me what i need#when it's like... but did i pick up on the ways in which they DID appreciate me and show me love etc? did i give them ANYTHING to work with?#(ok yes occasionally but also... tangent but i was watching a variety show and they were teasing woozi about how#he gives interviewers/hosts literally nothing to work with. like no extra information for them to ask about or tease him for or anything#and i was like ohhhhhh. yeah i do do that sometimes with friends and it's genuinely smth i don't really know how to do like#giving casual information (but not too much and not too little???) so they can then ask questions etc. so then if im like ughh#they never ask (the right) questions or show interest (or let me talk but that's a different thing dhsjdjd) it's like...#well do i give them the chance to? much to think about thank you woozi)#anyways where was i dhsjsnsnsjns idk but it's soooo annoying that i haven't figured this all out yet#but im slowly letting go off a bunch of resentment that has truly no business being here and im trying to self reflect and all that#and im honestly doing so shit some days but others days it's? finding stuff that matters to me on a deeper level ig?#and all of it really does pale in the face of multiple genocides and it's. but yk. if i want to keep fighting#i need to build a strong foundation and sort my shit out as well and be present so im really really trying#and beating my stupid stupid depression and brain with a stick until i get there

I love when LotRO uses your class in casual conversation like this because it basically always makes sense for Hunters. Like, aside from the fact that that's an actual job with actually quite a lot of integration into the lore, it just tends to flow well in whatever context the game decides to whip it out in. A bit uncreative, but a reasonable name for a bounty-hunter, right.
How on earth am I supposed to take myself seriously when I come back and replay these quests on a Beorning? Especially since this is supposed to be a disguise. "Well, you see, my grandfather was named --"

Thinking about the mess with Lois almost marrying Lex Luthor at the end of season one in Lois & Clark, and how it makes sense for her character as she is in season one (her ambition and confidence as a journalist, and the endless praise she gets for that - which, in this case, turn against her and her better judgment), when you take the time to think about it and not just yell for 90 minutes straight.

Hi lulu, so i was wondering if have you played Far cry new dawn in French, does roger talk in another idiom?
In spanish he stills talk in french
Hi! Yes, I played New Dawn in French and Roger has the same Québécois accent he has in English. It even seems he’s played by the same actor, Vincent Leclerc, whose name appears among the other French voice talents in the credits.
As for some of the (Canadian) French words he uses, such as “osti”, “tabarnak”, or “caulisse”, they’re typical slang/swear words from Québec that we don’t use in France, so they kept them in the French version and they sound as funny and exotic as they do in English.
It’s rare that Far Cry characters who speak with a non-American accent end up also having an accent in the French version of the game, but Roger thankfully kept his!

okay, yeah, barton is a bad guy — that is pretty much a given but what if i told y'all that i got this image of him in my head of him dressed up in matching tuxedos with matilda and them just. attending a masquerade gala as part of some plot to get close to someone and actually not committing any atrocities, but they do do one small little... victimless crime near the end of it which might be Uh. Stealing some rich guys car on the way out or something and flipping him off as they drive off with it, laughing all the way, and it's honestly kind of funny in a bad way because WOW are they bold and perhapsss dare i say it's a little iconic because of the matching tux's + i just imagined them peeling out of the place in the poor guys car like why did they have to do him like that??
i mean it's obviously NOT Good that barton stole that guys car but he actually didn't hurt anyone and stealing the car wasn't even planned. it was just a spur of the moment decision, like i can just imagine them having this completely non-verbal exchange with their eyes once they see this SUPER expensive car in front of the place. because matilda just gets wide eyed like 'OOH, that is niceee' and barton just looks back at her like 'wanna steal it?' and of course she says 'yes, obviously,' like LMAOO idk i just thought it was kind of a nice deviance from the norm for them and they're bonding. criminally, mind you, but still bonding JSJSJ

I think BG3 is one of the few games that has actually done complex morality well. Not necessarily in the choices you can make. I think most of those are pretty cut and dry. More in, like . . . What degree of responsibility do some of the companions bear for past actions, if any? What degree of responsibility does a durge bear? What about the Absolutists under the Elder Brain's sway? When you get down into the details of the branching stories / lore, there's a lot that leaves you with something to think about.
#OOC / HOLLY.#I don't mean things that are like 'is it bad to do a wrong thing for a right reason?'#not that that isn't a good question but even in that instance the wrong thing is still the wrong thing regardless of motivation#I just mean like. how much responsibility does a person bear when they're in a situation#where they literally don't have free will / their free will can be overridden in a nanosecond#I do think BG3 is a game that questions not only the nature of evil but what evil even is#as well as the nature of good and what even is good#it doesn't necessarily answer those questions — not definitively — and I appreciate that tbh#I think the best stories leave you with something to think about#and these are questions that will never be cut and dry#that have always been debated and will always be debated#anyway. I like it. and I like that we have not only minor characters but companions and protag options#who have a wide assortment of outlooks and codes of ethics. we don't get the same people parroting the same ideals in different fonts#and you can agree with them or challenge them or simply change the topic#I like too that they often have unexpected or unpopular thoughts on a matter#you get into a rut where every media has the characters respond to something x way#sometimes BG3 plays into that and sometimes it doesn't#the decision truly seems based more on who the character is as opposed to pandering to the audience#it's a game that encourages you to think not only about creative solutions but about more complex philosophical questions#not only that it rewards you for getting creative and unorthodox and challenging what's in place#something that most games discourage if not punish or completely forbid#not that this game is perfect mind you. I can think of several things I find questionable at the minimum#but it's extremely refreshing to have a game that wants you to think rather than merely follow bait on a string

what do you like specifically about Kiryu?
Tumblr media
the fact he has a laundry list of dumb things he's done throughout the games
#snap chats#LMAO LIKE IS THIS THE SAME ANON OR IS TIMING HILARIOUS#anyways to actually answer the questions#What Do I Like Specifically About Kiryu idk :) i say he reminds me of my dad a lot and that is true#mostly when it comes to fatherhood tho. and when i say that ima get people sayin 'im so sorry' but no my dads great 😭#and ik kiryu aint a saint and he aint perfect but he gives me the same vibes as my dad does#beyond that tho he's just silly :) i like how despite being an intimidating guy he's still very cute in a way#he's also very earnest about things- in his Cool Kiryu way of course#he doesnt shirk learning about things and he's always open to new experiences and that's so sweet#and sometimes his goofy philosophical speeches do get to me. Again it very much reminds me of my dad he does the same A LOT#and kiryu's just dorky i like how he likes manga i like how he likes pocket circuit#and even if he was reluctant to be ono michio it was very sweet that he took the role seriously#and wanted the successor to ono michio to be a perfect one#he's just a very sincere guy and i love it#now for the DUMBEST thing he's done. every instance he's tried to have someone else take care of haruka#off the top of my head this happens twice but its like kiryu youre DUMB#STOP ACTING LIKE YOU CAN'T BE A GOOD DAD TO HER YOU'RE MAKING THIS A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY#also kiryu just dumping the tojo on daigo. i mean it worked out I Guess but still that was the craziest gamble for this organization#and tbh poor majima for kiryu dragging him back into the tojo to watch over daigo#not really 'dumb' but inconsiderate so yeah that was p cringe#this was The Kiryu Post thanks for reading everyone i love kiryu

as a purely personal preference i honestly kind of wish sm/2099 had more self contained issues and/or specials, since the restrained format seems to really prompt the writers (PAD as well as the guest writers of the specials) to play around with and explore a particular niche of the world building implications of 2099 upon the characters.
#i honestly want to read some more of PAD's work because i get the impression that he gets kind of. lost??? narratively sometimes??? on the#journey to get where he wants to go w the point of the arcs#the first ten issues are - imo - as good as they are w their pacing Because they would've been the pitch arc yknow?#arc 2 has a Really interesting core idea that its driving at (exploring what the prevelance of cults and new faith religiosity#in 2099 is all about) but by the time you GET to the core of that arc it feels like weve lingered too long in the question of#'are supes back?' instead of exploring what that MEANS to the characters (and the fuckign xmen crossover oh lord <- hater disease)#because the mystery of 'are supes back' is just. honestly not that interesting when you dont explore what Effects this would have on miguel#esp right out of the gate of his first Real Spiderman Identity Actualisation. 'spiderman 2099 meets spiderman' seems to retroactively speak#to all of that characater unpacking i WANTED from arc 2 but the fact of the matter is that - imo - 2 spends too long on the set up and too#little on the implications of the answers WHICH ARE FACINATING ANSWERS.#also AS a hater of crossovers i just think dooms inclusion is very disjointed in the story. hes got some interesting stuff to say when hes#around but when he disappears for like 20 issues and by the time he does a military coup (the buildup to which was in his OWN run) ur just#kind of disorientated by his reemergence in the narrative. comic reader complains about hallmarks of the medium SURE but like.#for STORYTELLING purposes i feel like this isnt the best. like to prioritise reiterating miguels venom abilities so new readers know whats#going on w him but assuming its not going to be disorientating if doom suddenly injects himself into the narrative#where the stakes and buildup are in a COMPLETELY different run and never alluded to just honestly sucks as storytelling to me#like ur going to give new readers a power run down of the protagonist of THE RUN??? but not coordinate foreshadowing for your own crossover#???? like i KNOW that would be a lot of work but its also like. why NOT make the effort to do it effectively yknow?#tunes talks critical#man this went all over the place#tunes talks 2099

am i supposed to take this seriously after all the shit she's said and done before?
Tumblr media
lmao
#she's better than the other templars! she thinks that it's ok to magically lobotomize mages only sometimes#and she's so so pretty and cool! everyone just can't stop noting her beauty and amazingness#and she's very brave for standing up to authority figures for what she believes is right even if it means she can lose everything#not like that stupid adrian girl who wants freedom ''but doesn't even understand what it means''#how could she be so dumb to demand for magical lobotomy to be abolished completely and advocate for everyone already subjected to be cured?#and she's so short and her red curly hair is funny!#plus she can't even think for herself sometimes‚ she just stands next to fiona ''like an accessory'' during the conclave#and she's so explosive‚ it's so foolish and short-sighted of her to stand up to her oppressors#clearly she's just a lost child like the rest of the mages who want to separate!#of course rhys is the most reasonable among them so he feels like an outcast#after being thrown in the dungeons for 4 days without food and water he knows that there's no middle path with the templars#but he just doesn't want anyone to get hurt :((((#and instead of doing anything he keeps shaking his head in disapproval and criticizes everyone#but not evangeline because she's so so pretty and actually a good templar!#adrian is angry at him because she's jealous!#not because he keeps ridiculing everything she does and refuses to support her time after time#when she keeps supporting him without question even after he deliberately broke her trust several times already#and of course by the end of everything her blind rage has taken her too far and she betrays rhys#because people like her who are ready to fight for their freedom are ''radicals'' and those are ruthless and insane#it's all adrian's fault that wynne's perfectly sound plan of slowly reforming the circle under the divine's guidance hasn't worked#it's not like that plan would have crumbled the moment templars realized they're losing authority#and they would've pushed the chantry to revoke the changes#because all of the mages' rights and freedoms could be stripped down on a whim as long as they don't have the means to protect them#and as a cherry on top after everything that happened rhys joined the centrist fraternity!#fucking hell#all of the main characters in this book suck#excluding cole#cole did nothing wrong <3#i'll need to take a break and read a different book before subjective myself to the remaining two novels written by g*id*r#sorry for the rant this book is making me froth at the mouth
