bless melinoe being so formal she addresses all her family members with a title. like yeah that's characterization through dialogue and that's great but more importantly, every time i forget how another character relates to her (which is often!) she'll straight up tell me eg, "cousin apollo/artemis" "auntie hestia"

of fucking course karina guests on dungeon court and caldwell prompts her into talking about ace attorney as a case reference point

#girl that would be me too tbh #jake was sounded like he was facetious about wanting to play it in his disbelief but i think he should give it a try lmao #idk about his tolerance for anime writing and tropes though #naddpod #dungeon court #drawfee

the salute button is so funny because it makes melinoe, polite to a fault and even quite sweet at times, punctuate every interaction no matter how severe or casual by reminding everyone of her mission to kill chronos. it's become a regular part of speech at this point. imagine mel excusing herself to go to bed: "goodnight headmistress hecate, i love you! sweet dreams! death to chronos!" or using it as a swear when she stubs a toe. if that ain't the most succinct summation of her vengeful intensity...

#it's her version of “thanks obama” #hades 2

in my interpretation, nemesis may be generally mean to everybody but her actual grievances appear to be with hecate as an authority figure and the way she runs things, and not so much with melinoe. it's just that mel is fiercely loyal to hecate so they'll always be implicated together when nemesis makes a dig, which i guess she can't stop herself from doing. and in turn mel can't stop herself from getting defensive of her headmistress and mother figure like it's pure reflex. it's funny, if nemesis is a jerk to melinoe she brushes it off but if it's hecate being criticized, mel is like "well hold on now!" and is compelled to justify hecate's methods as if nemesis could even be persuaded otherwise

#hades supergiant #hades 2 technical test #hades 2 #INCHRESTING DYNAMICS #mel said “take it up with hecate. not me” and then i assume nemesis stood there and stewed instead of doing what mel suggested #and then mel has faith in people she's never met for no reason like “it must have been cool to be raised by the honorable nyx” #nem the cynic: “my mother is fine. and no me and my siblings aren't close. why would you assume siblings should be close. dummy”

no seriously people asking why watcher didn't simply ask dropout to be absorbed into their service as if they'd definitely agree, and the one adjacent person on reddit i saw speculating that dropout offered to produce and host watcher content but the watcher guys refused because they were too proud... you people are writing hollywood startup fanfiction. you like those headcanons? you like those imagines? for fucking internet businessmen???

lmao where did people get the idea that dropout should act as a foster home for abandoned or struggling media companies

#the backlash part isn't bizarre but THIS NONSENSE sure is!!! i'm equal parts amused and confused #you could just as easily speculate that watcher did ask and dropout turned them down. see how that works? you can just say anything

[buttclench-ryugazaki]

lmao where did people get the idea that dropout should act as a foster home for abandoned or struggling media companies

#dropout.tv #watcher #rooster teeth #funhaus #yeah i'm sure they have sympathy for all those companies having been in the same position #but like come on they're a business not a charity for internet content creators #some of which create stuff that wouldn't even fit with DO's regular programming anyway #they have no precedent of acquiring other shows. why would anyone assume this is even an option #there's PIBE being an offbook adaptation but jess and zach were already in that network of UCB performers and debuted on game changer first

i highly doubt it (because hollywood) but i hope voice over veteran colleen o'shaughnessy got paid the same as her screen actor costars

#sonic movie #i don't care how expensive idris elba and keanu reeves were to book. the only right thing to do is match her fees with theirs #like yeah i'm aware that stunt casting is a marketing move to draw in audiences so paying certain actors more is worth it if it makes profi #a humble VA would not attract additional viewers. but the fact that they didn't recast tails means i hope they know how valuable she is #in terms of quality of performance

#idolish7 #interpret “best” however you want. can mean most aesthetically pleasing. or funniest. or most thought (thot?) provoking. etc #and if you're thinking 'por que no los todos' sorry i am making you pick only one #if i was better at photoshop i'd make mockups but alas graphic design is not my passion

[buttclench-ryugazaki]

i don't think it will actually happen but i want to be able to say i was the first to soft-predict it if it does: hot ones will invite the d20 cast for an interview while they're all in nyc for the msg live show next year

#what do you mean my favorite z-list internet people got madison square garden. what do you mean naddpod sold out carnegie hall #i make no (tentative) claims about whether they'd all AGREE to do the wings of death tho #i think brennan lou and ally are the only ones willing to hurt themselves for the bit/competitive enough to put themselves through it #dimension 20

in idol anime (of the admittedly few i've actually seen) the stoic/cold/unsociable/humorless types are always amusing because it's like, hey bud, as a trained entertainer who has to be likeable for their job, shouldn't you logically have better interpersonal skills? and i guess it's funnier if they don't and are successful and beloved regardless. and then there's another layer if they're good at putting on a superficial charismatic persona. which, depending on whether their role is protagonist or antagonist, will be treated as not really a big deal because it's just a part of the job OR as something very sinister because that's what people associate with fakeness. and THEN there's tenn who's like (with the absolute sourest sneer on his cherubic lil babyface):

"of COURSE i'm likeable everything i do is for the FANS and it would break their hearts if i was anything less than a perfect gentleman at ALL HOURS OF THE DAY. you don't do all that? you unprofessional idiot. you worthless fool. you should all strive to be as nice as me"

#“be nice to your fans because you owe them everything” how about you be nice to people you don't feel indebted to you punk ass kid!! #and it's not as if he's unaware that he's callous but. he really likes to lord his sense of professionalism over riku/everyone #he is neither hero nor villain. employed is what he is. but he could stand to bring it down from a 10 (HAH!) to maybe a 7 or so #idolish7

[buttclench-ryugazaki]

i'm relatively new to idolish7 but its enjoyers do indeed pass the vibe check of "sincerely loves and embraces the source material AND will make fun of it without hesitation"

kaburagi (snottily ugly crying because he misses aoyagi like a child misses their mom gone on a business trip for too long): that's right, ONODA-SAN is my favorite senpai!!!

#the thing is that he really believes this lmao. he's fooled his own damn self but not anybody else #yowamushi pedal

[buttclench-ryugazaki]

man i fucking love the villains in idolish7. they all have reasons for why they're so fucked up and insane but they aren't deliberately given sob stories to make them more sympathetic. other series will be like "audience, don't you feel sorry for him? he almost got the main cast killed and tortured the children under his care but it's okay because he feels REALLY bad about it. isn't his remorse sexy 🥺" NO!! in i7 they're all irredeemable garbage bastards who leak carbon monoxide gas in orphanages for fun, which makes them so much more delightfully entertaining

#which is not to say their villainy is shallow or purely for the Sake of Evildoing bc it's not. i just appreciate how unapologetic it all is #disclaimer i've only seen the anime so idk what's going on in the game #i haven't seen a lot of idol anime so this one snuck up behind and brained me with lead pipe. completely blindsided me with how good it is #idolish7

the nds visual novel puzzle game girlies getting all we ever wanted towards the end of the switch's life cycle fills me with an emotion i can't identify

#it's adjacent to satisfaction but with a bit of melancholy eh #games i'm referring to: #another code #trace memory #professor layton and the new world of steam #apollo justice: ace attorney #ghost trick #now remaster hotel dusk. i wanna see how they handle porting all the nds hardware specific puzzles and the 90 degree grip #also like nintendy you gotta get em in now because i'm likely not going to get the switch 2 or whatever it'll be named

will the year 3 interhigh finally be when watanabe takes mercy on naruko and lets him cross the dang finish line without him going blind and passing out before he can get there

off the top of my head we got superwholock, rise of the brave tangled dragons, NDS visual novels ("professor ghost attorney"), and creepy RPG maker games (yume nikki, OFF, corpse party, etc). what other superfandoms can you remember from back in the day?

EDIT: i'm ashamed that i forgot to list my own wheelhouse which is Sports Anime Hell circa 2013
