#he did so much wrong because none of them were ever taught how to love and that others love differently #wei wuxian was taught love is a sacrifice &—at its kindest—an exchange #Jiang cheng was taught love is companionship—to have someone beside you & take the same path #& yanli was taught love is in action—in doing the work and giving the gifts and being where someone can see. and she spent her life #trying to help them all get along. & it’s just. he did so much wrong & the love was there AND IT DIDNT CHANGE A THING #the untamed #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #wei ying #mdzs #jiang wanyin

#hollow knight #thought this would be fun to do! #just including these ones since all the others are either (comparatively) easy enough and/or are prerequisites for one of the options here #i guess i could've also added the one for beating Grey Prince Zote since you can block him from the pantheons and he isn't required for 112% #but. c'mon now. dhdhshshf #i guess i also could've included Purity (kill the nailsmith) for the Emotional Difficulty but. i want this to be a bit more serious dhsdhf #also i'm only including the actual in-game achievements. so no path of pain; pantheon bindings; or radiant hall of gods bosses #anyway. there IS a Correct Answer in my mind dgdhshf #and if something besides that one wins or gets a lot of votes then i'll try and offer some tips for it

Seeing people hating Soren for hating the laguz is wild because. That's the point!!! He suffered so much and he became bigoted because his life was horrific and that's the point!!! Because even then he learns and he grows and that's literally part of the point!!!

Like I don't know how to tell you, but something amazing about Tellius is how they show you racism being born out of very different experiences and still showing it's bad. Jill, who was raised with those ideas. Soren, who thinks like that because of his own pain. Shinon, who's kinda just an asshole. It's never framed as something good. With Jill and Soren we see them learning and growing and changing, no longer judging others for that.

It's called being able to tell a story with nuance, being able to show characters who are the good guys and still have flaws, really bad ones, and not getting excused for them, so they have to learn and grow and change.

And it's not easy but that's the point!!!

#fe soren #fire emblem #tellius #path of radiance #radiant dawn #fe9/10 #besides the laguz aren't all rainbows and sunshines with how they treat the branded tbh #not to say they deserve to be mistreated for that bc of course not but that was something tellius did lack ngl #aside from mordecai in his support with stefan. like. guys you also gotta stop being shit to the branded

boards season is over and there's going to be a mass burnout because all of us spent the last two months on minimal sleep, oversaturated on coffee

so here's a few reminders:

you did good. stop worrying about it stop trying to calculate what your percentage might be stop thinking about the dumb mistakes you could've avoided, its okay. you did good.

take a break, even if for a day or two because i know a lot of us have a whole lot of entrance tests coming up. but our brains and bodies have been on overdrive so take a break, you deserve it

rejuvenate. try slowly bringing yourself back into a normal schedule. work on fixing your sleep schedule, work on eating better. there's a long road ahead of us, you want to have a healthy sustainable routine to make it through this.

explore. it is not too late to change your path, i promise. this is the last chance you get to change your mind, don't waste it. explore your options now that you have full knowledge about your strengths and limits, there is so much more out there than we've been told. there are so many options i guarantee you will find your perfect fit, don't compromise on your future by just going along with the crowd, find what you want to do and work for it.

lots of love <3

#seriously stop worrying #it'll be okay #we'll be fine #for those who arent sure about college and what exactly to do #there is still time #there are so many options besides the three main things parents keep pushing us to do #give as many exams as possible #i guarantee you u will find something you like #this is the time to explore if not now then never #it is not too late to change paths it is not too late to try something else it is not too late to discover what you actually want to do #i promise #study #studyblr #self help #self improvement #studyspo #chaotic academic aesthetic #study motivation #dark academia #light academia #study inspo #study tips #studyblr community #desiblr #desi tag

Short DPXDC Prompts #218

Only way to find your soulmate is in the afterlife so you can have eternity together. Danny meets his soulmate finally: this strange boy named Jason. When Jason vanishes from the Ghost Zone without warning Danny undergoes something akin to pit madness with tunnel vision to find his soulmate again.

#danny phantom #dc comics #dp x dc #dp x dc prompt #writing prompts #okokok imagine #the bats hear of this massive being of darkness and shadow over 15ft tall just destroy trafficking spots in gotham #they’re not complaining but this thing is obviously not caring about if the people in his path (besides victims. they’re always unharmed)- #live or die #Jason eventually meets this fucking terrifying eldritch horror come to life and his face lights up #“’Danny? is that you’ #low and behold the mass of darkness shrinks into a person who’s like 2 years older than Jason runs over to him and sweeps him off his feet #Danny has finally found Jason again #the ‘pit madness’ also called ‘soul madness’ is finally healed now that they’re together again #bones prompts

Wait, since spice is ghost type, wouldn't emmet punching him do nothing?

Spice is weak to fighting types so... mayhaps if Emmet gets mad enough he can use a fighting type move

#mailbox #i feel like most humans can probably use fighting moves #/alternatively spice is teasing him for being a human bc he knows emmet fant do anything about it #.sugar barrels into the room and lands a critical hit immedsitely #spice is like WHAT. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS (has never met a dark type zoroark before) #sugar assigned bodyguard #EDIT yeagh okay spicd is not weak to fighting types i thought he was bc h zoroarks are also normal types #<- this opens up a new path tho if hes immune #he makes fun of sneasler constantly bc he knows she cant do anything about it #eveeyone else besides ingo hates this prick

i know a lot of people have said it already but it does kinda suck that the only thing you actually gain from recruiting minthara is minthara herself. the obvious way to get her (siding with the goblins) locks you out of three companions (karlach, wyll, halsin), all the tiefling refugee npcs and their associated quests, and a whole quest related to halsin in act 2. and there's nothing to make up for it, you just have less things to experience now

even if you're not doing a necessarily 'evil' playthrough, like i am, and you don't choose sides and moved on to the creche (which i did, because it made sense for my character to want to get there as soon as possible), you still lose most of the same things. functionally, aside from keeping karlach and wyll, you get pretty much the same result as you would personally slaughtering a whole bunch of refugees

#i just started the shadow curse quest by waking up the guy and it instantly ends because halsin is dead #so all is lost and nothing can be fixed #and i was kind of expecting that but i thought maybe there would be a little more to it than just? that #i know you should miss out on things if the character associated with a quest is dead and all that #fine if you can't stop the curse or whatever. but there isn't a quest you can only get if halsin is dead instead you get what im saying #there's nothing else to fill that missing space. it's not like there's a ton of evil path stuff you'd miss if you were doing a good pt #besides minthara and probably some durge stuff but i havent gotten that far #AND. the game is huge and there's already a lot to do which i appreciate and am grateful for all the work that was put into it #i just have some mixed feelings about this but i understand how big the game is already #baldur's gate #★

its so important as an rpg protagonist that harry du bois has absolutely zero emotional regulation. sure thats not how normal people talk but hes not normal Baby. no moderate reactions he has to choose between communism and fascism right now. when he says hes going to kill himself hes being dead serious

#you know when rpg protags have the Two Paths thing but they otherwise have zero personality besides being Good or being Evil #harry is full to bursting with personality. least silent protagonist in the world #gemitus #disco elysium

I have to say my favorite part about Aha's character is how pivotal they are to the story and how subtly they lead the universe to lean into one direction or the other while everyone mainly continues to see them as a hehe xd lol jester cringefail little havoc creating guy intent solely on trolling everyone

#muse: aha. #By all means they Do very much enjoy trolling and deceiving people bc it's FUN! but they're also So Much More than that #besides Fuli whose entire Thing is to know & remember everything and Qlipoth who saw parts of the future & is one of the oldest aeons #I'm pretty sure Aha is the next best informed aeon out there AND they're smart enough to act well with the info they have in mind #Altho not even their followers can tell when they're being /fr or /j bc Aha insists on clowning kinda like in the yell wolf 3 times story #Also one thing that gets me every time is how Aha was clearly down horrendously for Akivili but they can't go against their path #so emotions like sadness or grief are forever locked for them unless they want to cease to exist; so when Akivili died Aha could just laugh #I say this ^ bc Aha is the Only aeon who can tell the Trailblazer in SU isn't the real Akivili #and yes that does in part stem from how Aha learned the truth of the world (all is a simulation to begin with; SU is just a different kind) #but there's another layer to it too - they knew Akivili better than any other aeon including Qlipoth who also seems to have had a crush #Aha staring at the Trailblazer for less than a second in SU when they posed as Akivili: Heeey FAKE Akivili howdy!

i have to watch this all again and process but i have one thing to say for now. thank you to the writers of season 2. there are so many flaws, so many things crammed into eight episodes when they would have needed 28, but they did one thing right that leigh could never do. they did alina justice. they left her powers to her, they let her rebuild ravka as she wished to, and they let her explore her dark side too. she used merzost, she brought mal back unlike in the books, and she tasted that power. she liked the power of that cut. she loves her power, her light, and leigh stripped her of that in the books. and why? to make her live a normal mortal life with mal. but they did this perfectly here, mal is his own person and he wants to find out who he is without his destiny to be alina’s amplifier, and alina wants to rebuild the country she fought so hard for, keep the friends and family she found along the way. this ending was perfect. i know we’ll see them again and they probably will end up together at some point, but this wasn’t it, this wasn’t the right time anyway. and i’m beyond happy they didn’t strip alina of her powers. she is a summoner, she loves being grisha, and i always hated how she was just taken away from all of that after tearing down the fold. it was as if she’s only been made for that purpose, to tear down the fold and then disappear again. now, she finally gets a chance to be her own person have a different purpose, rebuild a country, find her path, discover more about her power. she can choose where to go from here. i really couldn’t be happier about this ending

#i never talk about the shadow and bone trilogy #i’m always about the soc duology #because i never quite made peace with the sab ending #i hated the way they treated alina and i hated mal as a character. i felt like there was always something off about them. something missing #and here it is. their depth. their will to find their path after the fold is finally down #the chance to find a purpose beside the war #i mean no hate towards leigh or the books #six of crows is still one of my absolute favorite books of all time. but sab was always misaing something in my opinion #a dynamism to the characters and the story #and i finally saw it here #alina starkov #mal oretsev #shadow and bone #shadow and bone netflix #sab #sab netflix #sab spoilers #six of crows #soc #grishaverse

Thinking a lot about Ghost Reigen AU these days.

#like how fucked up could that be #this lonely ten year old boy. one who whose powers isolate him from the world in a way he doesn't really understand yet #besides the certainty that they are bad and made him hurt people he cared about #this child finally meets someone who understands his experiences and can teach him how to use these abilities for good #his trusted master; who seemed to know everything and guide him into a better path #...and that no one else could see #reigen on the other side showed himself as this wise and confident mentor; when in reality he never had an idea of what to do #isn't this what maintained him at this world? the lingering wish to one day become someone? even if he didn't get what it meant? #sorry I'm rambling this might not make sense #there is SO MUCH to explore in this AU I'm very curious to what would be reigen's objectives and dillemas here #mp100 #mob psycho 100
