#and the characters are lovable

[azelf101]

Actually now that we have have to basically evacuate Twitter while it crumbles into a pile of ashes, I wanna know something:

So I had a project that was/is in the works to over a bunch of tweets I found on Twitter about people talking about…or even so much as mentioning Azure Striker Gunvolt 3. Usually people talking about the story and characters.

So I figured I can ask Tumblr, have you guys seen any spicy takes about the third Gunvolt game on here that I can read about? Maybe I can rework the project? Possibly?

#azure striker gunvolt #gunvolt 3 #gunvolt chronicles #gunvolt #azure striker gunvolt 3 #azure striker gunvolt 2 #gunvolt 2 #luminous avenger ix #luminous avenger ix 2 #video games #on that note #please play the games #they are super fun #and the story is neat #and the characters are lovable #and I wanna explain why I have worlds number one gunvolt 3 defender in my profile.

An analysis on how Sir Pentious' character design represents his personality and development perfectly (beware of Hazbin Hotel spoilers)

Let's get this out of the way: Sir Pentious is a snake, an animal mostly known for generally believed negative traits such as poison, deceit and betrayal. We don't know WHY he's in Hell, maybe he was a "snake oil salesman" considering he comes from the Victorian times and he's into hyping up what he does, or maybe he was into war. Thing is, he's a Sinner whose design just scream "Evil".

(BTW, a snake could also represent "fertility": looking at you, Egg Boiz!)

He always had eyes all around him not just because of a stylistic choice.

Sir Pentious always felt like he was watched, and had to watch out for any danger.

"Everyone here is too nice: obviously it must be a lie! I can sense they are planning to kill me, but when?! HOW?! I must be PREPARED!"

Sadly, he's been constantly berated by other demons, far more effective in destruction, status, cruelty and charisma. Alastor won't ever bother to remember him, Cherri always ones up him, and the Vs, the ones he admires to most, won't care less about him.

To the point that Vox sent him as a spy without the intention to save him if things were going to fail. Heck, he even openly tells him to die while calling him a failure.

So of course he's got reasons to have trust issues, or taking everything so seriously, being constantly reminded of what he can't accomplish. So he puts an air of grandure that may be very flamboyant, but is VERY frail.

But, if we have to be frank here, his biggest source of insecurities... is himself.

He has eyes on his tail (his softer, more vulnerable side, which is ironically made even MORE lieable to getting hurt because of how sensitive those organs are), and inside his hood, so he could look out better for danger when on alert mode.

Heck, even the mark on his hood kinda resembles one eye.

Problem is, when you see his hood folded, when he's at ease, neutral or sad, those are not looking at outside sources.

They're looking at him, at his back. A constant stare that happens everytime he lets his guard down and shows how vulnerable he is. A gaze that can sense all of his weakness, his struggles, his insecurities.

And it's all him.

Pentious constantly believes that his inferiority complex will fade away once he'll accomplish something grand that will make others accept him. But he is his biggest critic, his worst enemy: HE is the one who believes he's a failure, that he'll never gain approval from others.

This show takes place in Hell, but this is Sir Pentious' personal Hell: insecurity born out of self hatred. Doomed to feel everyone's gaze upon him, including his own. Believing the danger to his self esteem is from others, when it's really from him.

But then he's accepted at the Hazbin Hotel: Charlie forgives him, he bonds with Angel, Husk and Niffty who don't care a bit about what he's accomplished or not, or what he's done in the past.

He feels more comfortable in showing his vulnerable side, and no one judges him for how easy it is for him to get emotional.

Of course he's still very insecure, considering how he struggles to confess to Cherri, but notice how he stops building machines or planning to attack others as soon as he starts bonding with the others: he doesn't have a reason to destroy or attack, now that he knows he's loved.

And his final design, when he goes to Heaven, shows how much he's changed, yet stayed the same. He may have died a hero, but he's still the same awkward snake we've come to love.

Speaking of love, let's talk about that!

No more eyes on his tail, now it's just on his chest (showing he's opened his heart), his glasses are now heart shaped, and even the markings inside his hood resemble kiss marks more than anything else.

And look: the mark on his hood is now heart shaped!

Why all these hearts? Why did all the eyes disappeared from his body? Even his eyes that were looking at his back?

Simple: love. Love defeated his insecurities and self hatred. He died for love.

He died protecting his friends, his new family, his new home.

He confessed and kissed Cherri knowing full well he wouldn't have made it, and yet he went anyway.

The usually cowardly and timid Pentious actually faced a great danger with courage and determination: he acted selflessly by putting himself in harm's way, he didn't steal (naturally) and by going against Adam he did indeed "stick it to the man"!

He used his weaponry knowhow and battle experience not to conquer, but to save his loved ones.

His only thought up until his demise was: "I'll go down protecting them".

And he's been rewarded not only by becoming an angel, but also being spawned directly in front of Emily and Sera, two Seraphim, the highest rank for an angel to have, who have also been depicted as snakes of fire throughout history! Sir Pentious, the lowly demon considered a failure by everyone, actually has been noticed by the Seraphim! He's come so far!

He's now come to represent the REAL symbolism of a snake: the duality of death and rebirth, transformation and immortality (ironically a reference to the fact he's been around since 1888 without ever dying from any Extermination or blessed weapons).

And isn't so poetic that a snake, the "source of the original evil", was the first sinner to ascend to Heaven? Or that this episode was released on February 1st, or National Serpent Day?

And of course, as the Bible itself says:

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."

(John 15:13)

And knowing him, I'm confident in saying he'll keep helping his friends even in his new position, like the soft hearted noodle he's always been, but was to afraid to show it up until now.

trying to speculate on Ride Kamens characters pre-reveal really is like

#ride kamens #not art sorry #(still gotta draw something for SUPER POSITIVE MAN too whoops) #joseimuke games are serious business #i am NOT complaining i think it's great that they're not restricting themselves to main riders or even like...main characters #but horse orphnoch feels like...an extremely weird pull #i have not seen faiz so i don't know anything about him as a character beyond a quick google #still feels weird to do a non-rider though? #i mean shion seems very lovable and i do enjoy having a character i can just shout HORSEBOOOOOY about #he was the one i was convinced was brave though! DANGIT #the specter of a possible ikemen poppy looms closer... #though any ex-aid rep won't be poppy let's be real here #at this rate it's going to be like. burgermon. #do i dare hope for such a miracle #(is that one guy with the wolf/dog tail going to be garulu then) #(or maybe he's thouser's dog robot WHO KNOWS) #truly ride kamens is a kingdom of infinite possibilities

you ever think about how fontaine would have been utterly doomed if it hadn't been for Furina's and Neuvillette's hearts being every bit as kind and compassionate as focalors forsaw?

#in the end it all boiled down to the kindness and compassion of these two not-quite-humans #putting this in the ship tag but it's also just such a beautiful story without shipping them #they're just two really well-written snd lovable characters #genshin impact #neuvifuri #genshin impact 4.2 #neuvillette #furina #focalors #fari talks fic

Y'all - your favorite character wouldn't even BE lovable without Damen!

All that captivating complexity would have been lost if Damen hadn't stepped up and nurtured Laurent's better side. Laurent was losing himself by the first book and it took someone with a superhuman amount of love to redeem him. I get that Laurent is your favorite - his core integrity softens that surface wit and mischievousness, he's great. But we would never have fallen in love with Laurent if Damen hadn't done it first. The first time you ever connected with him was through Damen's kind eyes. His point of view is the heart of this story, and that gentle attention and faith brings Laurent back to life. There would be no favorite character without Damen because he constructed that man.

That's why I'm irritated when people are enamored with Laurent but underestimate Damen. They neglect to appreciate the character that coaxed out their lovable favorite in the first place. It takes an emotional genius to accomplish what Damen did and we all should acknowledge it more.

#there would be no lovable laurent without damen #so don't disrespect him #and even if you just love laurent a lot and are ambivalent to the main character - appreciate who brought laurent back to life #who saw that potential when nobody else did #captive prince #lamen #laurent #damen

donna is just absurdly competent and incredible! and i'm struck by the marvel of rose, donna, and martha who are all SO competent and incredible in such completely different ways??? they each have these individual approaches to problems, philosophies when it comes to moving through the world...i spend each season going "that's my favorite princess" and it is an absolute delight.

#celia watches dw #they are such wonderful three dimensional people! all of them! #thought provoking well written lovable female characters. i am kind of obsessed

marisha was trying to make a non-romanceable character sure but tbh if i had someone who genuinely doted, cared for, respected, and was protective of as much as laudna was towards imogen i would also simply fall head over heels in love with her

#laudna is such a lovable character #how could you not romance her #it simply would not be right #critical role #marisha ray #laudna #imogen temult #imodna
