i get it but also the idea that shadow is more “skilled” than sonic, like technique vs raw power, is just insanely unrealistic. sonic has WAY more experience against shadow in literally anything. sonic’s been fighting against Eggman for YEARs before interacting with shadow and had fought a million other bad guys while shadow isn’t around. i don’t feel like it’s realistic to say shadow has better “technique” when sonic has far more experience
I was telling my little sister about Gertrude Robinson the other day and she said something that kind of made my brain explode. I was explaining all of the terrible things that Gertrude did in the name of saving the world and how, on the opposite side, Jon avoided doing a lot of terrible things but ended up dooming the world anyways. She responded with the classic, “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
And idk it just really struck me. Bc, between Jon and Gertrude, which of them had better intentions? Which one of them ended up in hell?? Crazy crazy crazy to me bc I’m pretty sure it could apply equally to both of them.
thinking about how honest the hope is in disco elysium, if that makes sense. how you face consequences for the actions and life you can’t remember. how your nightmares come back and they just might be there to stay. how you still wake up in pain and have to very actively fight off the cravings of your old addictions. how it isn’t easy trying to chose not just life, but living better, living for yourself. how it doesn’t mean any of the problems will go away, or the pain will stop, but it gives you an option other than constant suffering. there’s always a silver lining, it’s just a matter of being able to look up and find it.
hope isn’t always easy, and sometimes it is a choice, but in a torn up world and a torn up body, it’s something. it’s not always pretty or perfect, it’s clumsy and sometimes foolish and hard to keep close, it’s difficult, and maybe it’s all you have but it’s something - streets and sodium lights, the sky, the world, you’re alive
I don’t like that temples and such are only mentioned in passing and Violet doesn’t go to visit one on the page like what is the vibe in those places? Statues? Flames? Hot priestesses?
random but this showed up in my activity again cause someone liked a comment i made when i first saw it on tiktok and it made me think of when ppl were discussing how jordan and marie were casted
derek/london are both biracial and jaz is as well, but their parents are fully asian and hers fully Black
even though this is about a play, there’s no way so much of the casting in hollywood just happens that way. sometimes it’s just blatant racism and it makes me sad (and mad actually) for all of my friends fighting to get significant roles in the industry
I love going on ao3 and seeing the two most random media properties smashed together because someone loves them both enough to make a crossover. Like hell yeah!! Live your Hannibal spongebob SquarePants dreams random ao3 author
Consider this a spiritual successor to my Re-Animator Youtubers post, but boy howdy do I love being part of niche ass fandoms that have a surface level audience of cishet guys in their 30s who’s experience with nuance in media starts and ends with knowing Raleigh wasn’t really the main character of pacrim. I’m fighting for my life in these fucking YouTube comments.
