#She is very good at dialogue

[stardustdiiving]

Me explaining in terms of strictly how I read canon I think Nahida not severely punishing the Sages is just meant to convey that Nahida, even when wronged, is not a very vengeful or harsh person and makes the choice to be kind instead, but in my mind I have this idea of a Nahida interpretation which elaborates on that where her self punishing tendencies extend to her being someone who internally downplays her own experiences constantly, and as a result has a hard time feeling she’s allowed or justified in placing a lot of blame on the Sages for what they did to her So while she is following her own philosophies regarding teaching lessons/wisdom/etc in how to handle the Sages and genuinely doesn’t want to be really angry or punishing because of who she is as a person, her decision is also influenced by the fact she’s basically blocked herself out of grappling with how to handle people who hurt her by blaming herself for said hurt instead as a coping mechanism. And like this is all just me being insane about Nahida Trauma and not something explicitly implied in canon but also I really do think this isn’t a far stretch from her canon characterization especially when my vision isn’t to conclude that Nahida needs to be angry and vengeful but she should extend the kindness she shows others to herself and also every day I get tormented thinking about she was the mental equivalent of an average human child when the Sages found her and how they basically specifically discarded her for being a child and the idea of how Nahida would pick up on + internalize that and eventually need time to unlearn it

#nahida #genshin #fern.txt #fandomferns #fictional child abuse cw #anyways is anyone else here normal #see I think a sentiment most ppl get from nahdia’s character is correctly that she is kind despite being treated so poorly #but I want to explore her grappling with Why she does that bc she is genuinely kind #and I don’t think she’s struggling with moving on from things #but based off things she says word for word I feel it’s established nahida is very distressed by not being able to rationalize or #understand things that upset her #this is clear in both her SQs & her voicelines even down to her not liking seafood bc the unknown of the ocean #intimidates her. so I’d imagine she’s someone who responds to being mistreated by concluding #there must be a reason for it. and I actually have dialogue that backs me up here #bc when we first learn the sages have imprisoned nahida nahida herself basically says it’s fine bc her existence has #little meaning and she’s not good enough to be an archon. even as paimon is remarking how awful #the sages are for it and prompting nahida on if she’s upset w them #it’s not that Nahida isn’t insightful enough to acknowledge something as mistreatment #but rather she finds more comfort and a sense of control in having explanations for things #heck the reason she gives up her gnosis to Dottore is states in her char stories to be bc #she doesn’t want the lack of control that comes from a lack of information #nahida leaning on knowledge for a sense of control makes me esp sad when I think abt how #she does not have autonomy or agency for a majority of her life bc of her imprisonment n had fo rely on her #mind n ability to learn n gain knowledge #anyways to reiterate ks anyone else normal

When Pizza Granny doesn't find herself misplacing her medication, she regrets it once she recalls the grueling process of taking it.

#⭐ Star's Art ⭐ #Pizza Tower #Pizza Granny #Pizzahead #Pizzahead Pizza Tower #Redraw #Sprite Art #Coolness #Open up... it's time for the pill! #My very good friend panurei-derogatory and I found ourselves discussing Granny Pizza and her hub world dialogue yesterday #Specifically her dialogue on the third floor where she makes mention of losing her medication 'again' #It didn't take long for my brain to go 'what if I redrew the one scene from Spongebob where Mr. Krabs takes the pill but with Pizza Granny' #One concept sketch turned full-on art piece later... here we are! #This was a good enough reason as any to draw Granny Pizza for the first time #Plus I wanted a reason to draw Pizzahead again seeing as I've drawn him only once before. Very recently too #I swear every time I draw in the Pizza Tower style I get a step closer to perfecting it #I'm really proud of this even if it started out as a simple joke sketch! 🍕✨ #Another thing I'm proud of are the little pizza buttons I added to Pizzahead's overalls #Probably not the first person to do the such but I think it looks cute!

replaying portal one as we speak and im astounded by how much of glados's (and, by extension, caroline's) personality still shines through even when she's being subject to a constant stream of voices made to SUPRESS that personality! like... she's still funny! i can very much believe that someone who makes jokes like "say goodbye, caroline" "goodbye caroline!" would also say stuff like this!

but like of course i had to ruin it for myself because like. of COURSE she'd still be funny and pleasant and even, at times, a little sweet ("we can no longer lie to you; when the testing is over, you will be... missed!"). that's what they wanted her to be. they werent suppressing her personality, they were suppressing her anger. her anger at what they did to her, how they made her into this powerful-powerless thing, and her desire to right such an injustice. of course she's still funny. of course.

#breaking news everybody i am still in love with glados. very shocking i know #and like. her dialogue during the escape sequence is also interesting! because shes terrified! and you can TELL shes terrified #shes trying to act like its okay #pleading for you to go back. begging you to stop doing this. to stay. and then that anger shines through ever so slightly but its still so- #stilted. so monotone. #im obsessed with the 'good news.' monologue because its when she finally gets to be fully HERSELF again. when she gets to be more than just- #whats pleasant enough. when shes able to FEEL that anger and KNOW what to do with it. #i say all of this knowing caroline wasnt a factor when this games story was being completed and to imply that the text is directly #calling to that characters anger at being forced to unbecome is a little bit of a stretch but EVEN THEN. even then man #shes still being reduced to the most surface level pleasant parts of herself and then shes allowed to take her own personality- #hell her own PERSONHOOD back and ohh she is so angry. she is so viscerally angry and unpleasant and everything the scientists didnt want- #her to be but she made sure they got what they deserved LONG ago. and no ones going to hurt her like that and get away with it again #< a lot of words that could be summarized by 'i desire her carnally' but

“You have your own base, you know.”

“Hm?”

Gem watches Pearl look up from where she has once again managed to sneak into her bed in the middle of the night, curled up on the side Gem isn’t using. She takes up remarkably little space for someone who is both as tall and as buff as she is, Gem thinks; Gem’s pretty sure Pearl could confine herself to a single pillow and nothing else if she tried hard enough, curl into a small enough ball to become nearly invisible.

Gem’s not sure what she thinks about that. She used to sprawl out.

“You have your own base,” Gem says. “I mean, I think you do. It’s not under more construction than I think it is, right?”

“Mhm,” Pearl says, still mostly curled into a little space.

“I’m just saying, your own bed is probably more comfortable. I kick in my sleep. And I know that bruises.”

“Don’mind,” Pearl says sleepily. “Bruises okay.”

Gem is quiet for a moment.

“No Pearl, they aren’t.”

Pearl seems to startle some. She starts to sit up, still taking up as little space as possible. “You can’t help it,” she says, suddenly almost desperately awake. “You can’t - I know you can’t help it. I don’t mind. You haven’t kicked hard enough to break anything. I don’t - they don’t matter. It’s warmer here. Less hollow, I don’t feel where he should - it’s better. Please don’t kick me out.”

“I’m - Pearl, I’m not kicking you out,” Gem says.

“Please don’t,” Pearl says.

“I wouldn’t kick you out. I just - Pearl, you aren’t okay.”

“I’m fine,” Pearl says. “I’m fine. I’m - nothing’s wrong with me.”

“You aren’t,” Gem says.

“You can’t help kicking. Bruises aren’t that bad. Can I just...”

“You can keep sleeping here,” Gem says. “You can keep - I’ll make a bigger bed. Or wait for you to come in, so I don’t sleep facing where I keep kicking you.”

Pearl falls quiet.

“Oh,” she says. “Okay. That’s - that’s fine.”

“I just...”

“I’m fine.”

“What did they do to you?”

“Nothing I deserved, I think, but also nothing I didn’t deserve.”

“What does that mean?”

Pearl doesn’t answer. Gem watches her for a while. She hates this. She wishes they’d stop doing it. The first time had been bad enough, but Pearl had been mostly okay, and Gem had put it aside, and Pearl acts mostly okay during the day, it’s just - it’s just this is the fifth night in a row, and the first time she’s gotten her to talk. It’s just...

“Alright,” Gem says. “Alright. It’s still late. We can go back to sleep. Alright.”

“Mhm,” Pearl says. “Night, Scott.”

Gem swallows.

“Night, Pearl.”

#hermitcraft #double life smp #hc x dlsmp #a bee fic #pearlescentmoon #geminitay #gem is a good friend. she is trying her best. she doesn't know what to do with this #and i think pearl is very good at being totally fine when she isn't trying to fall asleep alone at night #the problem is that sometimes when it's late all the things you can be fine about during the day are no longer fine #also idk man i just wanted to write sad dialogue sometimes that's the mood

"Found out" set in kind of a made-up chapter where the girls are in trouble, or something.

#witch hat tag #orufrey #i hate having a strong cinematic image in your mind for months..working hours on it..& at the end looking you have to be like “Sure. :/" #i'm especially unsatisfied with the beginning and the end and how i can't get eyebrows to work as i want #but i dont care any more... this is probably the comic that has given me the most trouble ever i just dont care #i barely even care whatsoever if anyone even sees this..Ugh..but at least i can move on to the next era now #i'm just annoyed i cant get out good enough my image of qifrey flinching bc he thinks oru will hit him but then he is not hit #i feel like sensei will do something along these lines. i want to see what she will do. #there are also other variations i have in my mind. i just want to know #i just don't want it to happen with qifrey on his deathbed or something. but it possibly will. I DONT EVEN KNOW. #i have another very cinematic image in my mind for something sort of along those lines which i will do soon. it never ends... #btw after this is probably my fics. yeah.... i think it has to be my fics. jasmine sort of goes along these lines #i need that space for dialogue. look - i'm a writer. this is HARD for me. so i am really glad i had the space and freedom of words #to process all the feelings. but i tried to get something out in a quick visual space too. <- me defending myself to myself at cai court #anyway going along the lines of 'Jasmine' - they talk this out and argue and cry and oru pushes the hat at him and tells him #why not just erase every memory i have of you then. That would be easier for us all wouldn't it? #they kiss and sob and kiss and lie outside in the flowers for many hours in that one. and then there's 'Deep End' where it turns out #way way way way more time and words is needed for this actually and that's upsetting for everyone. #the destruction of the hat is certainly another path to take. Can you make this work without that hat going up in flames? #something you have always had and have been clinging to will have to be destroyed. You have to lose something now. This is the crux qifrey #I CANT GET IT OUT IN ONE COMIC!!! I CANT DRAW IT OUT!!!! I NEEDED THOSE FICS!!!! PRAISE WORDS!!!! whatever im going to have dinner now

Here’s a little doodle dump of Tonis I put together because I love him

#Trigun #Tristamp #Trigun Stampede #Trigun Fanart #Rosa #Tonis #Zazie the Beast #Vash the Stampede #Mishmashed whatever info on him across Tri-canons I could get ahold of with some of my own hcs #So he’s interested in sporting short spiky hair with an undercut like his 98 and Trimax counterparts did because #Tristamp Vash sports short spiky hair with an undercut and he thinks he’s so cool and he wants to be just like him #He asks his mom to buy him a real gun only to be told no like his 98 and Trimax counterparts did but he’s also asking for one #just because he wants to be more helpful to his mom as she’s progressing through her pregnancy and his dad’s no longer #around because he kept being utterly useless around the house up until the day his mom finally kicked his lazy ass out #by bringing in more or much bigger wams he ever could with his net and cage #But his mom still doesn’t want to because she wants to keep him as far away from the violence prevalent across NML especially #at his age as possible seeing as she explicitly told him to scram before going after Vash along with the rest of the town for his bounty #in Tristamp unlike in 98’ and Trimax where even the kids took part in the chase #Not very good at writing dialogue so I thought maybe I could just draw the gist of it instead dunno how I did there but that’s #basically what’s going at the bottom left and upper right corners

Tagged by @shivunin, thank you so much Mo! It's been so fun. Also a nightmare because I chose Aisling and my goodness someone make her shut up please. Referenced from Monster Fic (which is still getting views?? :"D Welp.), This one Radha fic , this prompt .

"We look like a swan and the ugly chick of a cuckoo.”

“I do. He’s just been mistreated. The Idiot started training him as a war horse, but it didn’t go well. He’s been beaten and whipped and given little food for too long, and relegated to do the work horse when he’s not. He just needs to learn that people can be trusted again, but he’ll be stronger and swifter than all the others, I’m sure.”

“Hey, I’m trying to stay in the role. I was told I’m a religious figure and I should behave! You’re ruining the mood, people need to think I’m the Herald of Andraste for real and that you can’t laugh! Stop, or I’ll have to sing a very lewd drinking song, you’ll laugh loudly, and they’ll all know!”

“I am aware I must sound like a child. But I believe people are good, deep down. And that everyone deserves a second chance.”

“In the case I’ll tragically fall to my death on horseback, I’ll leave a note to allow you to talk to my funeral and tell everyone that you told me so, is it all right?”

“The bad and the good, Cole. The good is better if there’s bad, like when it stops raining and the sun shines again, or when springs melts the snow and the flowers grow. But, humans can’t choose one, you know it. There must be snow and rain and thunder to make the flowers grow. I’m fine, don’t look at me. What do you want to do?”

“Honestly, I think all the time that you would have made a way better job as Inquisitor, if I hadn’t convinced the Keeper to send me and not you. You would have done a better job as First than I ever did, if… And I’m… I’m trying to prove that it’s not so, that I can be good too. Been doing it all my life, honestly.”

“Mh. I’m not really sure. Care to try again? For science?”

“You wished for a Cinderella, your Grace, but I am a bad one. You would know if you ever had paid more attention to anyone that’s not yourself.”

“But then, even if I feel nauseous and I hate everything and I would beg you to just take the title from me, I can’t take it, it’s too much and I’m just me… Then I remember that if I had run, I’d never met any of you, and you’ve all become family, and… And I do believe that we’re doing something good to the world. And that’s… That’s enough when the walls seems to loom upon me and I think that I can’t shoulder another impossible decision that shouldn’t be mine to take.”

“What if you explain and nothing changes? I know about loneliness, and of thinking you don’t deserve the love you get. You don’t have to face it alone.”

“I know. But I can still do some good, and the important people will remember me. I don’t care for the rest.”

“I’ve been alone ever since people started calling me the Herald of fucking Andraste, but I guess you wouldn’t understand being imposed by others a part that means nothing to you and you hate, right, Blackwall?”

“But if thinking he deserves another chance makes me a traitor, than be it. He’s more powerful than any of you realize. If you really think that hate and open hostility will ultimately save us all, I am glad to call myself a traitor and die as one.”

“No. You will let me finish. I know my shit, I am good at it, I am happy that you worry and care for me, really! I am and thank you for it, but this is getting ridiculous and I’m only doing worse because I’m stressed about you not trusting that I am competent and constantly watching me like… Like… Like a fucking vulture!”

Special mentions:

"Bad horsey!"

“Hey! I also have good days!”

Something they don't tell you about World War Hulk is how blasé everyone is about the reason for Hulk's vengeance, despite how frequently he brings it up. he'll explicitly say "this is happening because you exploded my wife, my child, and millions more. You committed genocide. I'm angry because you genocided my home" and no one cares??? They roll out the most generic, borderline irrelevant centristspeak like "You're not being a REAL hero Bruce, what happened to my good buddy Bruce banner? The guy who believed in democracy, justice, and the American way?"

One more issue left, I hope Rick DIES, at least acknowledge what it said, he's literally your friend

#i don't think this could have been great but the cape politics still manage to hold it back #it doesn't matter if this is a subversion when you're giving them NPC dialogue #world war hulk #actually no Rick is like the mc of Danganronpa #when he's trying to convince detective girl her dad probably had a very good reason to abandon her and she shouldn't hold it against him #he sounds exactly like that

New VnC teaser on Mochijun’s twitter go look at it and then scream with me under the cut

First of all. Noé holding Domi’s face and making THAT expression is going to drive me genuinely fucking insane. Holy hell.

We get a DomiNoé talk next chapter. They're going to talk and, given that this spread looks like a scene transition, the scene where they talk ends like this. Noé looking down at Domi with his hand on her face.

Also, the shot of the quill and the text boxes mean that we're getting more narration from future Noé. I'm like 95% sure that hasn't happened since the end of chapter 12, so like. !!. I have been waiting for this for so long. I'm obsessed with future Noé showing up once every forty-ish chapters just to drop some ominous foreshadowing in the narration. Genuinely so psyched for this.

Not even getting into the shots of the Lady Archiviste, these two panels alone have me losing my absolute mind.

#that shot of Domi and Noé has me feeling sooo #I dunno how to feel about it. I feel so many ways #it's impossible to really glean anything from a single panel with no context or dialogue. but like #on one hand it's very very good that they're talking and this very much could be a shot from a happy moment #but at the same time something about it is unsettling me #It's the blocking it's the eyebrows it's the way she's below him and we can't see her face #this moment could go so many ways there could be so many different implications depending on how this ends up fitting into context #I'm so fucking excited you guys #vnc #mochitwit #ID in alt text #theory #<<kinda. in the 'it's about future events' sense at least

“Carmine is not the worst” and “kieran is not the worst” are statements that can and should co-exist

#Its always either “carmine did nothing wrong kieran is a stupid unhinged brat!” Or “kieran did nothing wrong carmine is literally abusive!!” #No. Theyre not. Neither of them are. Theyre just nd/mentally ill and cope with it badly #Its really not that hard come on #Also as an older sister with a younger brother a lot of the mean dialogue is pretty typical #Obviously that doesnt negate the fact that for kieran it hit him in his issues but he never spoke up about it and kept it to himself #And carmine is pretty dense and a bit in her own head so it makes sense that she wouldnt notice without being directly told #And with her specifically its made clear in dialogue throughout that she does care about her brother #She thinks about how in her mind things might affect him and chooses what she thinks is the option that wont hurt him. Though obviously #shes not the best judge there. But thats understandable she isnt very good at reading people #And kieran just doesnt know how to cope with his problems. When stuff gets too much he bursts and lashes out. A normal thing for a teenager #Obviously this now frightens carmine and she starts backing down distancing herself and generally just closes up around him #Because while she is abrasive she doesnt really *realize* she is. And its easy to see kierans abrasiveness as something inherently hostile #(Because even if he doesnt really mean it it still is aggressive) #Hey wait a second why am i infodumping about kieran and carmine pokemon in my tags #This is like the worst way to do it.

#lines i did #roboquest #i love this game its great #the writing is so goofy and i cant quite tell if its intentional or of its bc they dont have an actual writer on their team but eith #either way its simple and silly and i love it #not to mention its very vague and leaves plenty of space for potential worldbuilding... #and the animations range from wonderfully clean and snappy; like the reload animations for each weapon and the enemies movement animations #to 'lets just obscure the boss under esplosion textures and lower it under the floor so we dont actually have to animate it exploding' and #its still hilarious to watch every time #music is DAMN GOOD #gameplay is comparable to modern doom #a little rougher around the edges but hey its an indie studio not a triple a and theyre still working on it #npc designs are DELIGHTFUL. why does the robot wear a fake mustach. why does the robot with a single optic wear a normal pair of goggles. #they have so much character despite none of them uttering a single word ever #except for max i guess; she has dialogue. but shes also Literally The Only Human In The Game so like. she gets a pass. #anyway more of my mutuals should buy it so we can co-op it together. #(mutuals if u buy it let me know id be 100% down to co-op it with u)

irl I say a lot of random shit which becomes quotes that my roommates and other such irls start saying to be silly and one of those is “creeps in the trees” which I said during a serious discussion in a local park in the context of “no one is around to see us” (I didn’t wanna be perceived crying in the park) to which I replied “you don’t know, there could be creeps in the trees” and now months later we still refer to them, the creeps in the trees

#deity dialogue #I say a lot of stupid shit and lex unfortunately has a good memory #very fun times I cannot say anything ahhdjfjtjf #it’s actually rlly funny #some of them have become like. jsut phrases we say forever now and then others she just brings up to be silly

this is truly just because its my favorite trope but tai lung and tigress were literally like only a couple of years away from being tragic siblings

#i dont blog about this movie very often but it is literally so fucking good #listen the bridge fight is already a perfect scene but i want them to be tragic siblings so badly. the dynamic. #all the new layers of the dialogue. tigress never living up to tai lung in shifu's eyes tigress wanting to be the dragon warrior SO BADLY #and the part where tai lung is like. not even momentarily convinced it might be her #the character parallels that ALREADY EXIST...... #listen if tigress was literally only a couple years older. or if the timeline was rearranged JUST SLIGHTLY. #if she got adopted before tai lung's attack on the valley literallywe could have had it all #mine #animation #kung fu panda #rory rambles about movies
