i feel bad for the people i see who don't know much about sonic and assume shadow is like some hypermasculine manly hardass dude character. not the case

#chaoscontrol #sonic #sth #people are reblogging a version of this where 'proof' of his femininity is given through taylor swift so the post is over and youre done #behave or die #please do not add on to my posts about a character i love and care about attempting to joke about his presentation #by bringing up attempted corporate-interested celebrity attention campaigns via twitter #with a woman who creates more harmful environmentally damaging emissions from her private jet than entire countries #just because you think it somehow proves he's like your gayby softboy or whatever. you are making this actively unfun #and i do not want to be involved in it.

Canto IV was really good

Project Moon does a cool thing that I really like with their stories, which in theory isn't really anything special, but I see so few stories do this that it really does single Project Moon out in my mind.

Each Project Moon game is in a dialogue with itself, having a discussion about politics and philosophy and society in general. They universally present the status quo as Not Great which is... evident for anyone living in the real world, but importantly to me, they do not present any proper answers to this.

This isn't to say that Project Moon stories are fence sitting nonsense that call for the importance of meeting in the middle, that's your own decision on whether you think that's worthwhile. And Project Moon DOES express opinions in the world they have created, so they're not cowards in that sense either. It's pretty clear, at least to me, that they believe things in our world do have to change, that the vision of capitalism that exists in the City is horrendous, and that we in the real world are on a clear trajectory toward the world of the City if action is not taken.

However, the way they frame the two opposing sides of each argument they present is important. And key to that framing is that in every game you play antisocial, morally dubious murderers. This is a constant. The people you're fighting aren't the good guys, but hey, neither are you.

In Ruina, when it comes down to the final confrontation with the Reverberation Ensemble, you are presented with two opposing ideals. Carmen and the Ensemble would love nothing more than to see the world torn down in its entirety, built back up in their own imagining of an ideal society. The Librarians, on the other hand, are there to fight against that notion, that the world they have as it is can be changed.

And while I definitely fall on the side of "maybe there's hope to be had in this dying, hellish apocalypse" I do GET where the Ensemble is coming from. I GET what Carmen's trying to do. It's a naive and childish attempt at creating a better world from the ashes of the old, an idea whose inevitable result is tyranny, but to someone who's already experiencing tyranny, tyranny but this time you're on top seems appealing. And I also understand that, for the Librarians, even if the ultimate goal here is to create a better society without that sort of tyranny, well you're kind of murdering people to achieve that.

And I think all this plays into why I enjoyed Canto IV so much. First off, the main conflict in Canto IV isn't between Limbus Company and another group, it's the conflict between K Corp and the Technology Liberation Alliance, which can be further distilled down to the conflict between Dongrang and Dongbaek.

In the case of K Corp, they're a bunch of utilitarians, people who say that even torture is acceptable if it leads to lives saved. And they quite literally do this, torturing the Tearful Thing in literally every possible way, just to produce the tears needed for regeneration ampules, forcing it to cry for the sake of others. Dongbaek doesn't even fully refute that this might be useful, but she does assert that if you're going to go to these lengths, there better be a foreseeable end to it, you better be curing EVERYONE.

And then we have the TLA, a bunch of anprims who aren't exactly wrong in the assertion that the way technology is used within the City causes immeasurable harm, but do come to the wrong conclusion that ALL tech needs to be incinerated. And, for them to come against K Corp specifically is significant, because sure, K Corp literally tortures people to produce their ampules, but the results are tangible. Lives are, in fact, saved, even if we discount the K Corp Security that will cut their own limbs off just to get healed.

And where Canto IV manages to stop saying "both sides bad" is in bringing Limbus Company back into the equation. A third party, who doesn't adhere to the ideals of either side.

Does Limbus Company have perfect answers to resolve this conflict? No, you're still a bunch of murderers. But they do present a third perspective, that instead of looking only at total harm done and coming to the conclusion that torture is acceptable, and instead of looking at all the injustices caused and coming to the conclusion that the entire world needs to be reset, through exploring the fathoms of Yi Sang's EGO, we can come to consider the possibility of caring for the individual. That yes, this world is fucked up and living in it can itself be considered a crime against humanity, but that doesn't mean you can't help someone in a way that doesn't hurt someone else. Yi Sang went from being horribly depressed with nothing in this world, someone who desperately wanted to die and couldn't even be afforded that mercy, to someone who finally smiled. The world is still fucked up, and we don't really have a solution to that, but we at least made it a little bit brighter for one person, and in the future, we can keep doing that.

And also? Canto IV introduced Alfonso so really it's just the best chapter.

The funniest kind of critical role "critique" is always going to be the 'they present themselves as if they aren’t rich/a company no I will not give any examples' crowd. Like what does this even mean. They start literally every single episode with informing you they are professional voice actors. They have clearly advertised sponsors. They have an entire line of merch and an animated show. The production value of the set is bonkers. They run a charity foundation. Do you want them to start every episode with a blaring siren and a warning saying 'beware! company run content! we make money!!' Are you just angry that they are friends having fun as they make a living. Do you have any understanding of how money works.

#critical role #it's always the same people who think they could’ve funded tlovm in its entirety with the kickstarter money too #or that the cast is personally responsible for every single fan acting badly #'how dare they say don’t forget to love each other when their fans are sometimes mean!' like cmon #my theory is that some people are so unable to view celebrities as actual people that they’ve started to view the critrole cast the same #as those corporately run social media accounts pretending to be fun and friendly while just trying to advertise #i don’t know how to tell you that the cast really are friends playing a game. they are also a company. and actual people hanging out online #they are incredibly open about all of this #if you somehow still think they are presenting themselves as not a company that is frankly a skill issue #cr discourse #i came across one of those old posts and was reminded how silly a take this is #nella talks cr

Happy 20 years of not speaking to each other

#Evils said that Bondholder looks like Graham's dad as a joke and I took it too seriously as per always xD #IT'S SUCH A GOOD JOKE I HAD TO LMAO #Graham's mentioned lots of times in story that he does not have a good relationship with his parents #and that neither his mother or father were very present or caring about him while growing up #so what better to make his dad than a scheming business cretin in space #The astrocogs (other ttevh cogs will be included under that lable for our AU) work in a part of COGS.INC that's connected to the company #by an elevator that goes all the way up to the moon!! #most people think the elevator only goes up to Dave's mysterious office since he seems to be the only one with the key to it #but it turns out there's more to what's past that elevator than what meets the eye #the clouds and smog are so thick outside that even the people worlijg outside didn't know about the elevator and tower to the moon #toontown corporate clash #ttcc #toontown: corporate clash #imagionary rambles #ttcc au #pacesetter #graham ness payser #ttcc oc #ttevh #toontown event horizon #toontown: event horizon #space cadet #ttevh oc #bondholder #I think our Bondholder's name would be something like Richard Ness Payser #cause he paces people's richness; get it? through his binding bond contracts and stuff #both he and Dave are such strange Bossbots to me I love them both

genuinely bewildered at how it's just g@merg@te again. like it's just exactly the same strategy, except now it's a cabal of dark and sinister narrative designers instead of "there are women near my games" but it's like the same fucking thing and I'm so tired honestly

#thoughts #as a dark and sinister narrative designer I wish I was part of the secret club that apparently finance every game with a diverse cast #when I tried to fund my very queer game with a black lead I got told by a room full of 50 white men that “nobody wanted this” #in spite of our market analysis screaming otherwise #and then was ridiculed in front of my men colleagues and told I couldn't be trusted because I would spontaneously give birth #and forget all my dreams instantly #or I was considered the “fun girl” who was only there to present the game (it was MY game!!!) #and for every serious conversation they went to my male colleague behind my back #so yeah I want in on that sweet diversity money pleaaaase #without having to debase myself to get it #this is so fucking stupid #(and like there are things to be said about the handling of DEI in corporate settings) #(I had almost nothing but bad interactions with such structures personally) #(but it was because it was a tool turned *against* minorities to speak over them and police their self-expression most of the time) #(for the sake of corporate interests or to protect the feelings of whoever was in position of power) #(so I think there are conversations to be had and it's actually a pretty complicated subject that can get VERY VERY messy) #(but yeah this aint it gamers)

Also, I'm calling it now, guwon and dohee were in love in their past lives, but tragedy struck, and guwon became a demon. I'm guessing the tragedy has something to do with a past life of seokhun's character... maybe even the performer from guwons foundation, too. Initially, I thought she'd have a second lead romance, but it seems they're going another way with her character, and they're giving the secondary romance to the two secretaries. Which is amazing cause those two are so funny together.

#my demon #kdrama #still not sure who the killers in the present timeline are #but i think its someone from the immediate family either the dad or the son #i think the dohees secretary knows more about madame jus secret regarding dohees parents #and seokhuns character is shady but not in a trying to kill dohee directly more of a corporate maneuvering to kick her out... #or maybe its the other way around 🤔
