#breaking it would MEAN something. to me.

[cryptic-rainfall]

I want to point out, that hazbin hotel is the reason my steam streak was broken, which just makes me so bitter. (My sister wanted to show me clips which I was fine with, and that made me want to read the hazbin hotel critique article to her, and then I looked up and it was past midnight.)

I did cry over losing my steam streak, and it was just a crazy jampacked day all around so it might have happened anyway. I've mostly accepted it (just a testament to how much I needed the break that started today), but it still really sucks. I've had that steam streak since my birthday.....

#I did not play every day per say #sometimes I just opened the menu of a game for the ambient menu music #but it was just a testament to how I've been trying to treat myself differently this year #I built my computer and now I will try to use it and I will try to do something fun for myself every day even if its listening to menu musi #I know I wouldn't be able to keep the streak forever #but I was going to go on a trip this break and so I would still be doing something for myself #breaking it would MEAN something. to me. #ok I thought I was mostly over it but I might cry again #but also hazbin hotel being the thing that made me break my emotionally significant (to me) steam streak is a slap in the face #I didn't have a personal reason to hate that show other than taste. but now I do #which is kindof funny maybe? I don't know #life takes so much for me and I can't even open the final fantasy 7 menu to relax about it #this is not a vent blog

Going back to this thing briefly

When adapting this chapter into an episode Toei did not explain nor demonstrate to us what the fuck that spike was (instead they gave us Sables #378545), so we're no closer to finding out what kinda new moves Crocodile might have up his sleeve, whether that really was a Haki-infused sand spike or what

But when I was checking the melting point of sand out of curiosity (to figure out if Crocodile has a fighting chance against Akainu, which in theory he does because Akainu isn't hot enough to melt sand (in theory)), I was reminded of the fact that sand is mostly made of silica

Or, in other words, quartz. Sand is, on average, made of crystal. Of course, sand is also made of other things and other minerals (not just quartz), but if we wanted to assume Croc's DF is made of one element and one element alone, then let's just assume it's 100% silica, right

And now I can't help but to wonder now though

Could Crocodile have learned a new technique where he somehow compresses and hardens his sand so much it can turn into large, solid crystals? Or more specifically, sharp pointy stabby weapons to murder people with? 'Cause. How fucking cool would that be

Also considdering how much Crocodile likes his bling, being able to form crystals to murder people with would arguably be on-brand for him

#Moon posting #OP Meta #Sir Crocodile #OP Spoilers #HashtagGiveCrocodileGaudyBlingAttacks2024 #Don't get me wrong I do want him to have Haki too #I just. If he could infuse his elemental attacks with Haki that would be broken as fucking hell and too fucking OP let's be real #'Cause it would mean all the other Logia users should be able to do the same and that's. Oh man that would be broken as hell #But if Crocodile did just learn a new fancy trick that's unique to his Logia then that would be cool as hell and exclusively power HIM up #(Also it would be in-character since Crocodile's supposed to keep on improving his abilities and not stagnate etc etc) #Only counter argument is that if he was able to form crystals (or glass) by compressing his sand enough like. What would be the benefit #Because sure he'd be able to form solid objects that way but solid objects can be broken and shattered #Where as the sand is just. Sand. #Like if he attacked with a crystal blade you could stop the attack because it's a solid object and/or break the blade #But if it's sand then it's not a solid mass the same way. You can't stop it or break it the same way #Although crystals could be more reliable in a wet environment or like. If it was really windy???????? IDK #There's potential for something cool here that's for sure. Oda please I just want to see Crocodile murder some people!! Release the husband

Semi-desperate Mithrun in regards to Kabru post-canon is so fucking real. On top of everything else, the guy kinda sorta literally gave him a will to live. Like. Mithrun's an acts of service logic type guy and was already attached to him. And how the fuck are you gonna return a favor like That. Beyond the continuing demon hunting and shit he probably rings up Kabru once a week like "You wanna hang out. I know you're stressed all the time every day. Come hang out with me." And is like yea, this is a normal response to a guy making you see you still have a life. And doesn't process the fact he's in weird complicated some kinda love with him.

YES !!!! mithrun hasn't desired (or hasn't believed he desired anything besides revenge) and when he's starting to develop feelings for kabru, he's nervous and a bit surprised. to me the realisation is slow and methodical, like "i miss kabru. i want kabru around. i feel his absence. what does this mean. all a part of newly wanting things i guess. totally normal to do this." -> 6 months later "oh"

and last time he fell in love, mithrun became a dungeon master and his entire life changed. now he's got his life back, learning about loving that, and kabru complicates many things. i think even kabru would have hesitations, mostly over how he believes elves can't understand short lived races, and if there is a 'future' for them that they'd both be happy with. i want to see them work it out together. it's very beautiful to me :)

#bisexual mithrun i love you happy valentines #kabumisu #dunmeshi #answered #anon #not that like. kabru would assume the worst of mithrun or anything either wrt understanding/his hestitations #but its literally. canaries talked about utaya like it was a good outcome and kabru has lived his whole life like this #and been told that the worst tragedy in his life where he loses his hometown and family is actually not the worst that could happen #and something about the continent he is from being very elven-influenced . like there is a reason his upbringing made him like #very determined to make sure shorted-lived races are well treated and aren't ignored or trivialised #and even brought him to the conclusion that they will never understand what it is to be like a human . i never stop thinking about this #its not than he believes mithrun would be deliberately short sighted but still worries . and maybe the fault is not even with mithrun !!! #kabru knows mithrun will outlive him. can he himself accept that? can he go into a relationship knowing he will leave him-- #--regardless of if he wants to or not? LIKE KABRU WOULD CARE!!!! #he would not want to leave mithrun!!! he would want to stay!!!!! it breaks his heart not to live his life with him!!!!!!! (dies) #i love the drama with relationships like this where one of them lives much longer it actually means a lot to me

WAIT WAIT WAIT someone is like 'pfft marrying their jinchurriki. obviously its political' and minato is like. you accuse me. of NOT LOVING MY WIFE? RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME? ILL HAVE YOU KNOW-

minato rips off his shirt to reveal a full chest tattoo that says I LOVE KUSHINA 5EVER

#i the context of #reborn au #kushina being a jinchuriki is a very well kept secret #but if we keep my headcanon that uzushio was attacked specifically because #people were afraid that minato getting the hat AND being married to kushina would mean uzushio would join the war on konoha's side #then yes i bet lots of people outside of konoha think it was a political marriage #(no one in konoha thinks this because anyone who's talked to minato for five minutes knows he loves his wife) #also yes i think minato could stand there and listen to people say insane and inaccurate and possibly cruel things about HIM all day #but you speak ill of his family?????? RIP u #idk obviously we want to make him 'break character' at ninjacon but i've been debating how #was considering a scenario where someone says something weird af to tori and he's like #'i can't believe he would say that to you IN FRONT OF ME' #like he's very aware weird dudes say inappropriate things to teen girls ok. he signs off on missions involving teenage girls with knives #taking advantage of that #but also he's been hokage for like a decade. usually people behave in front fo him????????

oh so alisaie’s exaggerated bully behavior is 80% fanon. saying this she casually picks up a large rock

I just got psychic damage by hearing Lauriam’s name on youtube pronounced as “larry-am”

#the guy keeps saying it like that throughout and I’m just like no😰 #gives me that fear of how will the eng dub will eventually pronounce his name #the way his name starts looks like the word ‘laurel’ like the plant #so I argue that’s more fitting and sounds more elegant like that #and by saying it like that larryam u imply that his diminutive nickname would be larry and not laurie #now ​i can’t help but imagine brain calling him larry as a joke and lauriam just side eyes him like ( ¯−¯ ) #(plus side note the way his name ends is a lot like the suffix -arium implying a purposeful place or setting like planetarium terrarium etc #so his name breaks down to meaning an enclosure or space where laurel is kept #Laurel leaves classically symbolized as a mark of achievement #very befitting of this overachiever who’s done with all his tasks by noon #and now a headcanon his parents were like what should we name our fancy son something distinctive but still regular sounding… #solution: combine the names Laurence and William there ya go #kh #khux #lauriam #all this typed out because I couldn’t ignore the way this person said his name 🧍🏽 #extra side note for fun his name in Spanish would be lorellermo??? lorenmo?? #edit: wait wait how about FLORELLERMO 💐✨👏 I’ll be here all night #I’m using the squidward naming logic cause he’s called calamardo in Spanish (calamari and Eduardo)

Val Is Pretty Sure She Might Be Losing Her Mind, more at 11

#okay so y’all. do you happen to remember Alcott Boy? the guy I had a crush on from school last year (or really the whole time I’ve been in #college honestly) who had Opinions on Little Women #yeah him. anyway I thought I was over my crush on him but GUESS WHAT it’s back and worse than ever #like I only have one class with him that’s once a week but guys guys I feel like I’m LOSING MY MIND like. I’ve never felt the urge to #actually go up to a guy and say ‘hey do you wanna go out with me?’!! like I would never actually do that but the urge is most definitely #there??? and it’s not even that he’s cute (although I mean I think he’s cute) but he’s really really intelligent and funny and very notably #always willing to bring up his faith in class discussions (and this isn’t really the campus for that) and I’ve always admired him for that #(this is also the boy that looked at something I wrote in fiction class and said ‘that’s it that’s what love is supposed to be like!!’ LIKE #) and I genuinely don’t know what to do #like should I be concerned that I feel this strongly so soon after The Boy?? should I be concerned that this might just be limerance??? #my roommate has been offering to talk to him for me and ask if he’s single and is it insane that I’m actually considering it??? #like if I’m going to now is the ideal time—I’ve already had my class with him this week and spring break is next week #and I’m certain he would never make me feel bad if he didn’t feel the same. but if he did wouldn’t he have said something by now?

[gregoftom]

pretty sure i’ve seen romance movies with scenes like this

#tomgreg #where do i even start with t his horseshit okay here we fucking go. #so tom's first instinct is to go to greg when he's on shaky ground with shiv. the only way he feels safe is to have GREG with him. #who tf would want greg as an attack dog??!?!? lets be fucking real. when he says that i think he means just a dog. just someone loyal. #who loves him and won't dick him around. i think he's pretty tired of it by now. #he wants an alliance with like. ok in this show who would you pick to ally with. i love greg but he's abso useless in terms of skills that #would keep you safe. if anything TOM would keep HIM safe. in fact tom himself says who else has taken care of you. literally spells it out. #he even says greg is a joke; will fail; will fuck up; so what use does he have for tom other than companionship. other than love? #a dog might do tricks for you but your main reason for getting one is usually love. right? at least it should be. it would be in tom's case. #and don't even fucking get me STARTED on ''do you wanna come with me? ...sporus?" like girl. #you know what you told him about nero and sporus right. and now you're saying to him; yeah i was talking about you. #you and me. you're my favourite and i wasn't joking when i said i'd marry you. #the whole while tom is asking greg to be his attack dog his fuckin. eyes and expression we get it you're in love with him. like it's ridic. #and all this coming with phrasing it sounds like they're fucking ELOPING. I HATE IT!!!!!! SHUT UP! stop saying that fucking shit god. god #they are so annoying. anyway #the way tom's voice breaks as he says he has things to do [what things. will i find out later.] and the deal and!! #what am i gonna do with a soul anyways... i have you what do i need it for. and as that paragraph said somewhere. he castrates his soul. #then they giggle and are fucking annoying and greg'S HANDS LOOK LIK EHE'S ABOUT TO IDK. HUG TOM? AROUND THE MIDDLE MAYBE #or do something else. and then they just hug instead and i fucking. ugh. i've had enough tbh good fucking bye

[why-is-it-always-autumn]

I am once again reminding everyone that

"I think that character will regret that decision; I can see the bad consequences coming, and if they were a real person I would yell at them." (you were engaged enough with the characters that they feel like real people capable of making their own choices)

"I would have liked the story better if the character had made a different decision" (a matter of personal preference with no bearing on the quality of the writing itself, or even whether you agree with the decision that was made in-universe)

and "Given what we've seen from this character previously, the writer having them make that decision broke my immersion" (an actual critique)

are all different statements and do not mean the same thing, even if they can all be phrased as "I don't like that the character made that decision"

#scenario: two characters have a misunderstanding and break up #statement 1: 'no you idiot he loves you! go back to him!' #statement 2: 'contrived misunderstandings annoy me. i wish the author hadn't included this subplot.' #statement 3: 'wait why does he even care about that? hes never cared about this kind of thing before why is he mad now?' #heck you can think that a character making the Mature and Logical Choice is out of character #(the 'he would not fucking say that' effect) #'given precedent he wouldn't say 'i understand where youre coming from' he would throw a chair and start screaming' #or that its not out of character but is kind of boring #and you personally would prefer seeing the fallout of the character making the 'wrong' choice and having to fix things after #disagreeing with the characters means the story is engaging #disagreeing with the writing can mean something isnt clicking and couldve been set up better (or that you missed something) #disagreeing with the author means that you and the author are different people with different opinions and priorities #theyre not the same thing

And then she used the bad outfits to wipe out half the universe

#ok i will try to stop being mean about TWN i swear #it's just that i can't get these godawful costumes out of my head #like ok i don't get book accuracy i don't get yennefer treated fairly i don't get a good edge of the world i don't even get good aguaras #can i AT LEAST get good costumes???? #then lucinda broke into my house spat in my face and said no #and i know i'm being mean but it just sucks that the direction of the costumes and the style of the designer is one that i ABSOLUTELY HATE #and to top it all off there's no real cohesion with the outfits and the world #or even the outfits and the characters themselves #lucinda's interpretations and justifications behind the costumes is just one that i don't particularly like #like if there was good reasoning behind them but they weren't executed well then i wouldn't be as disappointed #or if the reasoning was stupid but the costumes actually looked good (or good enough to not completely break my immersion) #that would be at least something #but I get NEITHER #also shout out to two outfits that didn't make the cut: #the stupid fucking bright purple cloak while yennefer is on the run (does not fit in with the practicality of the narrative or character) #and the leaf/constellation (?) dress in 203 that looks like it's five seconds away from slipping off and flashing us all #it's a nice dress in isolation but for me at least really doesn't work with what's happening in the scene narratively or for yen's characte #anti twn #twn critique #twn critical #twn negativity #anti witcher netflix

[lord-squiggletits]

Like fundamentally my Pharma apologism is basically just flipping the script and making Pharma the protagonist instead so that "crazy mad doctor torturing Ratchet the good Autobot" is instead flipped around to "Heavily traumatized ex(?) Autobot gets revenge on his best friend killing him/leaving him for dead and stealing his body parts."

Honestly I feel like the one misconception that ppl have that makes their interpretations of Pharma or Pharma and Ratchet interactions really bad, is that too many ppl in the fandom treat(ed) Pharma like some random creepy stalker that barely even knew Ratchet, as opposed to Ratchet's literal best friend that only lost contact with him right before Earth events happened (so basically after 4+ million years of friendship they hadn't seen each other for like...2 years tops which is nothing in the average Cybertronian lifespan). Though I can't blame them because sometimes the narrative likes to forget that too in terms of acting like Pharma is solely in the wrong/everything Ratchet did to hurt him was deserved bc Pharma killed people and was stupid/arrogant/shallow.

Like ppl have GOT to understand that Pharma and Ratchet were best friends since before the war started. For reference that would make the length of their friendship comparable to Ratchet and OP's friendship. Which means they would've been REALLY FUCKING CLOSE, not that you really have to read between the lines to see that when Ratchet himself mentions how he and Pharma used to talk late into the night together.

So when Pharma is obsessed with Ratchet, it's not bc he's some delusional stalker who doesn't even know him and is just projecting all of his hates/desires onto Ratchet. It's because they were literally lifelong friends that only broke up/fell out of contact like a year prior. Pharma DOES know Ratchet. He DOES have a meaningful relationship with him. He DOES have the right to be pissed off at Ratchet because a lifelong friendship gives Pharma a claim to Ratchet's regard. Not in a "oh you HAVE to stay friends with me" kind of way, but in a betrayal sense of "oh you did me DIRTY for someone who used to call me his best friend." Imo there's an obligation between lifelong friends where if you hurt them or break up with them, it's a serious deal and you can't treat them like a stranger just bc you hate them

#squiggposting #idk me projecting my philosophy about friendship yet again #pharma apologism #the narrative of m/mtte really wants you to forget that they were best friendols #or at least think that their friendship means nothing for how ratchet should treat pharma #which is fucked up imo bc there are friends that i have/had #where even if we were no longer friends i wouldnt suddenly find it acceptable to like. hurt them #the weight of our former friendship is such that i respect them even if we're no longer friends #so anyways pharma is not 'obsessed' or 'stalking' ratchet #he's a spurned and betrayed best friend seeking revenge on the guy who killed him #(or put him in a situation where he would die) #something about friendship as a sacred bond where some ways of breaking it #arent merely 'parting ways' but a betrayal of treating someone you love as an enemy
