Fsa but the links have to play heroes quest against Shadow in order to rescue Zelda

It is going... poorly...

#dumb au idea #legend of zelda #four swords adventures #they were going to fight him instead of playing with him but vio was like no wait i have a plan #everyone agreed and then just didn't listen to the guy bc search for treasure sounds more fun than look for traps #and then blue and red kept asking if they could do things that aren't even in the game #and shadow allowed it.#so now they have the goblin system beloved and the goblin system beloathed #green link #red link #blue link #vio link #shadow link #zelda #shes watching this go down and is trying not to laugh

Todd in the Shadows, who I'm a huge fan of, made a follow up to HBomberguy's video on plagiarism and James Somerton, where he specifically called out A TON (an hour and 40 minutes worth) of misinformation within James Somerton's video library.

And you should watch it as a good continuation. It has some funny moments too. (LINK RIGHT HERE!)

But I just... I have to share this clip I cut and edited, just because I have to show the psychic damage I received just when a certain character from a certain series was mentioned DURING SUCH A SERIOUS CONVERSATION!

The way I shrieked.

#Danganronpa #HBomberguy #James Somerton #Todd in the Shadows #Nagito Komaeda #I had to do a double take because I was looking away when he said it #And I thought he said 'Korek from Danganronpa' and I was like “NO! Todd you're not allowed to know who that character is!”

I really do think this is the beginning of the end of Netflix book adaptations. What author is going to sign with Netflix over any of its competitors, knowing that they'll likely be cancelled early without closure? Or, even worse, that their story will be scripted but never made and the rights never sold on? Far better to accept a lower deal from a smaller streamer, but earn more publicity through more seasons and know that your story will be treated properly and see the light of day.

#netflix #shadow and bone #six of crows #i'm seething over the idea that netflix are going to block anyone else from producing soc even though the scripts and actors are THERE #what is the POINT of letting those scripts just sit there unused #even worse than cancelling a show tbh because they're literally going 'we're not allowing ANYONE to ever adapt six of crows'#and the ACTUAL WRITERS are even barred from sharing the scripts THEY WROTE online

We're going to scream about Nandermo all week, but right now I need to talk about Baron Afanas. Because the Baron's arc, so to speak, always felt like a big part of the series DNA for me - and oh fuck did this episode deliver on why.

I think we can agree: in the show, vampire society is fucked up, right?

Vampires on their own have plenty to deal with that can make them crazy. They have to live by killing. They lose everyone from their old lives. They have to find new reasons to keep going on, forever, so shit can get decadent really fast.

But holy shit, what that's turned into in vampire society? Where you actively put cruelty over mercy, and violence over solving your problems? Death cults and scam artists roam free, but if someone has depression the best thing to do is ignore them. Someone can get their mind wiped or be locked up for centuries, and that's just what you do to your species.

--

So: the Baron's arrival is the first conflict of the whole show. The joke is about an ancient powerful creature of pants-shitting terror, vs three lesser vampires who just want to live their lives and not get murdered for being too lazy to conquer humanity. There's a lot of talk about how to please him: do you keep to the old ways, or pick up some new traditions? Decorate with flayed skin, or with glitter? And the Baron says: who cares, you're all soft and useless. All that matters is getting more control over this world, until people are cattle and we have no reason to hide anymore.

But later he confesses: that shit stopped mattering ages ago. He's not even real nobility, he's literally impotent, and he talks about doing horrible things because he doesn't know what else to say. He's angry and half-crazy from boredom. And admitting that, owning those feelings, means suddenly he has three new friends and a whole new world of things to enjoy.

There's the Baron the rest of the vampire world knows, but for one night we see the ancient, unknowable terror was just a guy. Maybe he's always been just some guy.

That fun puts him in a vulnerable position, and he's killed by the most unwitting vampire slayer in fiction. But Baron Afanas is changed. He sucks dirt for a year and still comes out of it with a new lightness and joy to him. He saves the Sire, another ancient terrifying monster everyone was eager to kill or send away. They adopt the hellhound. They get cozy and give advice. They make popsicle stick houses and go on walks. They live.

And that seemed like the end of the story until last night - when the Baron suddenly felt like the butt of a joke everyone knew but him. Spurred on by someone else who feels lonely and ignored, the Baron felt vulnerable. And he snapped back to how he lived for centuries.

'What the hell are you all doing, enjoying yourselves? We're supposed to be unhappy. We're supposed to live centuries of unhappiness, bringing pain to everyone in our path, and we're definitely not supposed to cheer up our friend who's sad.'

--

Nobody liked the Baron before Guillermo killed him, not even other powerful vampires we meet; they saw the Baron as a crazy far beyond their own crazy. But this is also how vampire society values you. It's how they measure Nandor's worth when they think he's dead, too: how old and powerful you are, how much you've been able to conquer and kill.

Vampire pods are both cliquish and aren't expected to last in the first place. If someone dies, you literally paint them out of your lives and forget. Everything we see discourages feelings, sincerity, or even basic companionship. The only way to earn respect is to be cruel. The more cruel you are, the more powerful you are. The more powerful you are, the more feared you are - the lonelier you are, the crazier you are. It's practically designed to create the Baron, or worse.

But new vampires don't behave that way. And the vampires we follow in the show don't behave that way - because they have each other, because they've been encouraged to have each other, often by Guillermo. (Holy shit, Nadja saying maybe she'd be fine dying, and Nandor immediately asking if she's okay? Nothing changes in this house, except everything does. They're not going to almost lose one of their own ever again.)

The vampires in the heart of vampire culture never seem happy to be like this. It doesn't have to be like this.

--

The Baron doesn't become a tyrannical monster for long. Because he never actually was one - and because he spends two evenings and a fireball to the face, watching Nandor and Nadja fight for Guillermo. Watching them plead and cling and defy, seeing Guillermo's earnest feelings in spite of his bloodline and the mistakes he's made. Seeing Nandor's perfect trust, and then his grief, the way he insists that Guillermo was never 'just' anything. The Baron can't find real fulfillment in hurting someone (because that ship sailed ages ago). He can't deride them for caring, because he's cared for a long time now.

And when the Baron admits that's who he is, when he says it out loud, he only gains more in his life. He finds new depth in the happiness he'd felt for a while now, because he's admitted and allowed himself to be happy. And now he has the children he's always wanted. Living together, the Baron and the Sire are still ancient and powerful - and they're also family, finding real joy together in a world that was ready to dispose of them.

"I suppose with the right company, it can be beautiful, this eternal existence."

--

There's an inherent selfishness to being a vampire, taking from someone else in order to live. But there doesn't have to be inherent cruelty, or lack of love.

They're all ready to admit they care. The Staten vampires have all cared for Guillermo or each other in their own ways this season. And Guillermo doesn't lack for flaws, but loving his monster family has never been one of them. (When he and Nandor work their shit out, they're gonna be insufferable.)

Now they just have to let the Guide in. Because she's absolutely starved for love, and vampires get pretty fucked up when they're on their own.

#fandom: wwdits #what we do in the shadows #wwdits #i am a meta gremlin #baron afanas #tl;dr i am a sucker for choosing love #especially when the world around you says it's stupid or you're not allowed #but love was always in you so it happens anyway

No one came to her party

No one noticed she died

And when they did, they didn’t mourn her, they celebrated Jimmy’s survival

When her death is discussed it’s in relation to canary’s curse and Scott’s survival and Joel’s future avenging

Ignored and outshined in life and death. All alone falling through the empties of the void.

She died as she lived, in shadows.

#give her her own lore you 👏👏👏#ldshadowlady #c!ldshadowlady #life series #life smp #secret life #scott smajor #solidarity gaming #jimmy solidarity #smallishbeans #she has so many possibilities for fun lore to make up #don’t just canary her >:(#I think we should go full void shadow for her #it fits and she literally ldshadowlady #you’re legally not allowed to fridge Lizzie just because she cringefailed herself into dying first

Being a six of crows fan means having a favourite crow but NOT a least favourite

And if you do have a least favourite, you’re wrong.

#six of crows #shadow and bone #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #jesper fahey #wylan van eck #wylan hendriks #matthais helvar #nina zenik #having a least favourite crow just isn’t allowed #if you do have a least favourite get tf out of here #no crow slander allowed here

QSMP February drawing of the day

Day 2: Q!BBH updated design/concept art

An agent of destruction and a reaper of death

#qsmp #qsmp badboyhalo #badboyhalo #qsmp fanart #qsmp art #q bbh #as much as i love drawing qbad in fancy dresses i gotta admit it must be a little impractical to wear daily #so i designed my rendition of his usual attire with some of my own twists!#the first two are qbad's cloak that he mostly uses to hide his features and sort of remain in the shadows- the blue and red are sort #of remincient of the colors on his current skin #the blue represents the soul vultures' effect- he's still dying but i didnt have enough energy to draw all the scars and markings for now X #then u have his combat/adventuring attire which allows him to move more freely in a fight #sometimes he still wears the cloak with this outfit but it's not really needed #also ghosties cameo!! they love to cling to the demon in wispy crowds that only he and some eggs can see

hypothetical scenario: you are allowed to make a sonic character say the word fuck in an official piece of sonic media. it can be given to any character for any reason, and you can come up with a scene to put it in or insert it into an existing scene. but they can only say it once and never again. and you can't give it to multiple characters or add any other extreme swearing because it's a one time thing and the dialogue/story has to remain family friendly outside of that one word

#i think that sonic shadow and silver probably deserve to say it the most and rouge is the most likely to say it if she was allowed to do so #but tails or cream saying it would definitely be the funniest option #but eggman is also a good choice. and amy would be funny. all of these would be funny though really #sonic the hedgehog #sth #polls #putting in tags so people see it

the rollercoaster of emotions that runs through me when I find out someone else has watched sab or read soc because if you don't immediately become my best friend where we talk about soc all the time then you don't deserve to know it exists. I'm gatekeeping it. get out

you know what's craziest about the new prime trailer and the sonic and shadow bit at the end is that it's so obvious that shadow cares. like there were hints before, when he looked back at the ghost rouge and when he referred to green hill as "our" home, but the fact of the matter is that, right now, sonic and shadow are all that's left of that place. the only survivors. the last two standing, the only proof it ever existed in the first place. and shadow can act cold but that's worth something to him. the desperation in his voice, the way he broke the sound barrier three times in a row... it's more than just sonic he's trying to save, it's shadow's whole world. because if sonic disappears, then what's left? just shadow. only him. and after losing his whole world once (maria and gerald and his home on the ark) i really don't think he'd be able to handle that a second time. so yeah. hang in there, sonic
