i remember seeing this one long post awhile ago of someone getting really pissed about people having lighthearted headcanons and writing silly fanfiction about disco elysium and saying stuff like "these people are not friends. this is not a happy fun story. this is a real story and you are trivializing it by writing 'goofy workplace antics' about corrupt cops" and if all you got out of that game was that cops equal bad and nothing else? nothing else about hope for humanity? or the joy of living in a bright and vibrant world and experiencing everything that life has to offer? the beautiful complexity of the lives of strangers? requesting a song for your partner on the radio? failing miserably and yet still moving on? risking everything for another chance even if you thought you had no more chances left? how the right 'ending' always comes from giving back to your community? un jour je serai le retour pres de toi? I love you cuno?
anyway what was i saying im not trying to take a big stance here but for real oh my god can you play touys or something. if all you have to say about the people in revachol is that their life sucks and they are going to live nothing but a miserably, dreary existence because thats how "real life goes" then i hope your own life gets better

"how'd the guy with no friends win?" scar asks, directly after fighting with and (arguably) killing pearl. pearl, the person who also won a season where she was famously at odds with just about everyone

gregor and ripred GREGOR AND RIPRED!!!!!!!
obviously ripred protects gregor. not in the same way he does lizzie or even luxa, but i'd say from the moment ripred saw gregor's horrified expression when henry was about to run a sword through him, he knew gregor was special. he told twitchtip to not judge gregor like she would other humans. he speaks softly when gregor is mourning. he teaches him life-or-death echolocation. he can't even tell gregor that the kid's gonna die in the prophecy of time. the "oh, tell me you didn't" to solovet after she locks gregor away. he promises to keep gregor's family safe, from one rager to another. he sees so much of himself in that kid and it's awful. the scene in cotw where ripred talks to gregor about being a rager (right after the frogs) will forever stick out to me. just. his peptalk to gregor before the final battle. ripred cares.
and so does gregor! gregor has so much respect for ripred, the rat, what has been the enemy for nearly his entire first journey in the underland, because he notices the pain in his eyes. he tells him "fly you high" when they first part ways, which is echoed by ripred when they last see each other. just the immediate relief that gregor feels any time ripred steps in. the way gregor messes with ripred, popping bubble gum after ripred insults him, joking about the prophecy at the end of book 5 ("time is turning back!" ripred - "shut up!"). in book 4, gregor sends the questers to busy themselves so ripred doesn't have to be vulnerable in front of so many. when gregor's in trouble, it's ripred's advice ("what's your plan?") that he thinks of. the section in book 5 where they all think ripred is dead and gregor is as upset by it as he is ares, that he "maybe even loved him." gregor looks up to him. just. the mentor/protege duo ever

#bonus under the cut getting that snout facing right at the camera#camerupt#early 2000s animation cow‚ apparently. that's what someone just said about the bonus image. i honestly never understood this thing's name#i always thought it was pretty obviously a cow. but then its name implies camel. camel erupt. camerupt. is there a specific kind of#camel that just looks like a cow?? or. what. or am i just misremembering what camels look like#either way‚ i still think this pokémon is pretty cool‚ but i don't really use it ever in my own playthroughs. i don't think i *ever* have#not even in pokémon colosseum where i'm pretty sure you can get a shadow numel at some point. bc i already had a fire-type#not sure which one it was but it was definitely one of them. maybe cyndaquil? because of the dudes with the johto starters#that you fight near the beginning in pppp uuuhhh the PHENAC city i couldn't remember the name. for a second there.#i wasn't aware as a kid that their outfits corresponded to the type of the starter they had and also that you could only fight one of them#i think as a kid i was under the impression that there was only the one. for some reason i remember fighting the green one#oh wait they have the second-evos yeah. cuz he had bayleef. and the red one would've had quilava. not cyndaquil#ugh my memory is not very good evidently. i'm writing these tags after work. normally i do them right when i wake up but this time i just#do not have an excuse for not being able to remember shit. this is just on me. maybe it's amplified by the fact that i have yet to eat today#which i have a very bad habit of doing. forgetting to eat all day and not eating until like 5 and then that being my only meal for the day#i'm trynna get better about it but it is Not easy for some reason. for something that should be decidedly very simple#but my brain doesn't often let me eat until i've completed all of my silly little Tasks. so. idk. this will however post the day after i've#arrived back home from my trip which is nice. the first time future me will be sleeping in her own bed again. good luck again future me#you might need it

Angry because the term "crab day" refers to people giving money to tumblr and not like. People just posting pictures/videos of the beautiful creatures on earth known as crustaceans. I hate it here.

Tbh Dana kind of reminds me of Daisy from the great gatsby, If that makes any sense?? I just get strong vibes of immaturity and not really understanding/not caring about the consequences of what she does from her at times.
okay i apologise in forward but you've reawakened my daisy enjoyer status from highschool fjdhsjkfhdskj i see the comparison and agree that there's some similarities especially when it comes to the waif like immaturity, but I have personally always read Daisy in actuality as someone who, for all that she sincerely grieves what she lost with Gatsby, knows that ultimately that despite any unhappiness with Tom, she was never going to abandon the place she's accepted.
To me that's always what her little line about her daughter ("I hope she'll be a fool—that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.") was about. It doesn't matter how hard Daisy cries over Gatsby's shirts, how conflicted she feels, how much she still cares for him, ultimately she's accepted her place within the world and ultimately she wasn't ever going to abandon that.
There's a level of immaturity - as well as heartache - in never really communicating this to Gatsby (though considering he's wooing a visage of a woman long changed and with a version of himself that is itself constructed, who even knows how successful she would've been), but I interpret Daisy's choice as hinging upon the fact she intimately understood the ultimate consequence of her actions, of abandoning her husband.
Dana on the other hand seems utterly unable/unwilling to interogate the nature of her own actions for what they are. She sincerely seems to believe she dislikes active conflict, and this extends into lying to herself about just how far she goes to hurt Miguel over slights (hanging out with the guy that Miguel confided in her drugged him with an incurable addiction, purely because she's upset he hasn't been home enough). Dana seems to me more like someone who follows the whim of her own desires/impulses without consideration for the harm she stands to inflict upon on others. The way she speaks in the aftermath of cheating conversation to Gabriel is also just. bizarrely self-centered when it doesn't verge on martyrdom (I hate conflict, I just want people to be happy, hate me FOREVER if you need to but don't throw away your relationship with miguel).

nothing like being forced to explain why you did something wrong and then being screamed at for misremembering something in attempt to ‘distort the truth’

had a realization way past my bedtime last night that I was the only child in my family of four kids who ever went to summer camp alone (multiple times, too!) AND I'm the only child my parents shipped off to stay with out-of-state relatives (for like three months at that) and ok, maybe I was kind of annoying as a child but this is starting to feel like an attack

I haven't played Awakening in a few years, so forgive me if I misremember something, but I still have the strong (unpopular? I don't actually know) opinion that Emmeryn should have stayed dead.
I like Emmeryn. I love altruistic, kind, but strong characters. I like how connected she is with her siblings, and I still think she's a good unit to use in terms of combat. But I hate the implications that come with her paralogue.
Emmeryn being alive after all makes the events of chapter 9 really lose their impact. Her sacrifice was supposed to be a statement to show the consequences of war and senseless violence. She did it to protect Chrom from having to choose between the lives of thousands and the life of his sister. Her death was supposed to mean something. Having her turn out to be alive later just makes the whole thing seem pointless. She could have just as easily faked her own death and gone into hiding or something, and the result would have been the same…probably.
The part that bothers me the most is the state you find her in. She's alive, but barely remembers a thing and clearly struggles to function, even the village elder says that she speaks with the words of a child… but she's somehow fully capable of fighting? Bits of her personality still remain - she's still kind and tries to console people - but she doesn't really get enough dialogue in this state to show any sort of real recovery, so at this point it just feels like Chrom and Lissa are just taking care of an adult child. How hard must that be for them? Watching their sister kill herself would be traumatizing enough, imagine then finding her alive only to constantly see her in this terribly regressive state. She looks like their sister and sounds like their sister, and small pieces of her still show, but it's not really her anymore. It's this broken shell of their sister who unfortunately doesn't seem to get any better after she comes home. Even Chrom himself says in her recruitment paralogue that "it's not enough for her to be alive like...this." So if anything, it would likely be easier on Chrom and Lissa emotionally and mentally if Emmeryn was just…gone entirely. Which, sure, I guess that makes for some interesting drama and all, but it's just so unsatisfying and sad. It almost feels wrong to use her in battles.
Again, I really like Emmeryn. I just think this was a really bad way to justify having her be playable. I'd love to see fan works where she ends up recovering, or at least something that addresses the problems with this.

have devolved into begging on social media but this is driving me up the WALL. I relatively distinctly remember a line of dialogue in the original game, paraphrased obviously, but to the extent of "asmo's charm doesn't work on a few rare exceptions but they're usually people with great magical power so it's strange that MC is one of them". does anyone else remember this or have I been trying to headcanon something into existence

Huh do you guys remember the book tuck everlasting? How the main girl Winnie was a fat ten year old with an immortal love interest who was "17" but actually like 100 n something and the whole thing with him was he wanted her to drink the everlasting water when she turned 17 so shed be 17 forever and they could get married like that was kinda weird he would.like take her just the two of em and talk up marriage with her and she was like TEN ? They changed it in the movie and made her a skinny fifteen year old but still wow I'm surprised why so many christan parents let that romance book be allowed but like....pride n prejudice was a debate? I don't understand the logic of homeschool mother's AT ALL WHY WAS THAT BOOK ALLOWED BUT WHY WAS I SCREAMED AT FOR CHECKING OUT OLD YELLER AT THE LIBRARY BY A HOMESCHOOL MOTHER IN OUR CO-OP???
#like uh i remember reading that book when i was 11#and uh it's a lil weird just saying#i remember being really angry they made her skinny in the movie but uh maybe I'm misremembering but i picked it up to read to my siblings#and once again had to 'lose it' because uhhhhhhhhhh what the fuck#im not sure if the author made it intentionally creepy for jessie to be pushing and preparing her for marriage and being alone with her but#uhhhhhh I didn't like him when i was a kid and i sure as fuck am like wow#I'm not sure if the author was trying to make it negative and about grooming because the homeschool moms always acted like it was romantic#they always went awwwww i wish she hadn't wasted that wayer on a frog but like#idk#once again why was that romance ok but pride n prejudice romance not ok for some homeschool moms?????????????#like we did p&p the play in lur drama troup and uhhhh a lot of familys dropped out#i loved it though i played jane it was so good and fun#also there was.like 6 moms in the homeschool co-op that just made my life H E L L#like they literally humiliated and bullied me constantly and over minor things like reading OLD YELLER?????????#like don't get me STARTED on the harry potter lotr and anything that had magic drama#giving Narnia which is like the most Christian homeschooler books got me in trouble with like four of em BECAUSE MAGOC? EVEN THOUGH ASLAN#just I do not understand the logic#like i just DON'T GET IT#like grooming is romantic but#like magic is evil? and don't you dare read that book where the dog dies you evil little bitch
