everyone tell me about your most hated NPC(s)! whether it's the fact they're annoying, poorly written, or just Suck (see: "king of rape" molag bal)

Try to keep it to the main games, but, like, I won't come to your house and kill you if you tell me about an ESO npc you hate

#i would drop an atom bomb on markarth #i just hate how every fucking quest in this city feels so forced #the orc blacksmith is fine i saved her

I get a lot of entertainment thinking about how containers are used in video games sometimes.

Entrapta: It’s so great that we’re all friends now. All is back to normal and we can go back to doing what we always did!

Hordak: Indeed. It is good to see that it worked out so well for everyone.

Hordak: *Slips Double Trouble a 20, and the location of wherever Catra now sleeps* Make it look like an accident.

#i had the Kenya song stuck in my head several days ago #like a fucking inside out scene when they dig up a song from a commercial you watched 15 years ago to play in your head

It just kills me when writers create franchises where like 95% of the speaking roles are male, then get morally offended that all of the popular ships are gay. It’s like, what did they expect?

Seriously if you put Steven Universe on "irredeemable media" list and keep calling a gay author making comics about gay relationship a "fetishizer" - you are actively advocating for less queer media

People on tumblr: We need more queer media!
