how many murder robots can there realistically be in dwemer ruins? I understand it from a game making perspective but like... they're meant to be cities. people lived there. I suppose the animunculi would have some use as an army and maybe as guards but aside from that what's the point?

most of the automatons have to be much more benign. cleaners and errand-runners and assistants in laboratories. I want to see those robots. elder scrolls six get on this

#I'm not even going to TALK about the spinning blade death traps in the main streets #the dwemer (presumably) did not KNOW they were going to become a vanished culture with their home bases viewed as resources #even if they meant to disappear #they did not build their cities with defending shit they would no longer need from nosy adventurers millennia later in mind #I'm ruminating on the defence systems of dwemer cities. considering. rotating in my mind #fay talks #fay talks dwemer #skyrim #tesblr #the elder scrolls #tes

if Lamb, Narinder, and the bishops got into Guilty Gear Strive who would they main

OK SO THIS ISN'T ABOUT THE LORE IT'S ABOUT SPECIFICALLY THE WAY THEY PLAY I THINK NARINDER WOULD EITHER PLAY ZATO BECAUSE OF HOW AWFUL HIS GAMEPLAY IS OR FAUST DEPENDING ON HIS MOOD BUT THE LAMB WOULD PLAY POTEMKIN BECAUSE THIS MOTHERFUCKER WOULD JUST DESTROY U IN 2 SECONDS IN ANY GAME. THE LAMB IS THE BEST AT GGS.

THE BISHOPS I DONT KNOW IMA BE FR WITH YOU I THINK LESHY WOULD TRY TO PLAY HAPPY CHAOS TO BE COOL BUT HE'D BE SUPER BAD BECAUSE HE DOESN'T GET THE POINT OF HC GAMEPLAY AND ALSO HAPPY CHAOS GAVE ME CARPAL TUNNEL AND I THINK LESHY WOULD MAKE THAT MISTAKE AS WELL

#munpost #in this essay i will explain why guilty gear strive has ruined king of fighters and street fighter 6 for me #guilty gear strive singlehandedly sent me to the hospital to get a surgery done on my wrist because of how snappy you have to play that gam #that when i play kof or sf6 or even tekken it's just too slow #happy chaos mains when they're given anything other than the most complicated toolkit known to man #i'm putting out a big drawing soon i'm allowed to post a little bit of brainrot #it's for me

I need help what kind of music do people think regulus black would listen to if he were in a modern setting

#rose speaks #regulus black #james potter #starchaser #sunseeker #ao3 jegulus #marauders fic #pls help me this is for a one shot that has been rotting my brain #it’s not even going to be that relevant of a point but it’s a detail I need to be sure about #I have my own ideas but i’m curious about a general consensus you know!! #what is this man listening to as he walks down the street with his headphones in #what is his main character song #thank u in advance

Despite the MANY flaws of Tim Burton's adaptation of Sweeney Todd, the one thing he ate was the By the Sea sequence (most of it, anyway). The outfits make me giggle like a kid every time. But ALSO I love how subtle they make Sweeney's tux for the wedding look like a straight jacket. And with the tortured face of a man who does NOT want to be there. Mwah. I'll eat it up every time.

This is unrelated to the intent of the post but I have to share this while I'm seamaxxing.

HE LOOKS SO PROUD AND SO STUPID

#didnt want to be a hater on the main post so ill rant in tags #the one thing that wouldve made By the Sea perfect was if sweeney showed more energy in thr beginning #and then got more and more exasperated like he did in the musical #and i get thats what burton was going for with sweeneys entire character #but i just didnt like that decision in general LMFAO #it takes away from the comedy aspect of sweeney todd being a dark comedy #like even in the string of pearls novel there are comedic scenes that split up the gore and depression #but most of the characters in burtons adaptation are just. vapid? #i dont know. i just wish they kept sweeneys occasional bouts of whimsy #here are the boring tags im done now #sweeney todd #the demon barber of fleet street #sweeney todd 2007

i think hawke sibling joining the wardens makes the decision about anders' fate a lot more spicy for any non-radically pro-mage hawkes. like that guy did something you consider to be unacceptable and unjustifiable. he also saved your little sibling from inevitable terrifying death. they're alive because of him and they're your only family left. the city is in ruins and people demand blood. what should you do.

#my main hawke is actually not as much a pro-mage as someone would expect from me and he has like another billion reasons not to kill anders #(because he just. doesn't give a fuck lol. he puts people he cares about first no matter what but that's smth for another post) #but i've had that thought for a while like. family is one of the biggest part of hawke's motivation and story #and a lot of people also play their hawkes this way #so yeah. i mean. even hawke is like. really pro-chantry. or just disapproves of anders' methods. or whatever. but bethany/carver is a warde #do they think about it when they hold that knife. do they think about it when they meet their sibling alive and well on a burning street #hawke #anders #dragon age

the best parts of MV continue to be the moments where they have the extremely iconic masculine characters both question and defy toxic masculine norms. for example,

both Rico and Sonny show compassion and sometimes even affection for each other

both Rico and Sonny show it's okay to cry and be vulnerable, and that you shouldn't be mocked for it

both Rico and Sonny treat sex workers as fellow human beings who deserve respect and protection (sidenote: i think the undercover cops relate to the hookers because both jobs require putting on a persona under potentially dangerous circumstances)

Sonny regrets not backing up a friend who came out as gay because he was young and didn't know what to do

Sonny regrets not standing up for a high school classmate who was sexually assaulted and then demeaned behind her back, again because he was young and didn't know what to do

Sonny barely holds back his rage against a man who emotionally abuses his wife

Sonny barely holds back his rage against all abusers, including the couple who exploited a 13yo runaway for their own benefit

Sonny does, for the most part, hold back his rage or seek counsel from a male friend to calm him down (his anger issues needed more attention in the writing imo)

Rico approaches difficult circumstances with calm compassion and a positive mental attitude

Rico makes it clear it is never okay for an adult man to have a sexual interest in teenage girls even when they are asking for it

Rico also makes it clear that a hypersexual teenage girl does not deserve less respect for acting that way

Sonny is continuously nonplussed by LGBTQ people, treating them as equals, and rolling his eyes at cishet who don't like it

Sonny is emotionally devastated over every teenage boy who doesn't make it out of a bad situation

Castillo is gentler with female officers, female victims, and is proud of his wife for marrying again and finding happiness

actually, the biggest deal to me is this reoccuring theme of "forgive yourself for not knowing better at the time."

For instance, Sonny doesn't seem to know how to handle Gina's rape, but in a later season when she is avidly hunting down a friend's rapist Sonny jumps at the opportunity to chase the man down and be extra aggressive. Then in other instances where sexual assault is a topic, Sonny has stronger opinions and stronger reactions. So part of his character is that he learns, but it's usually the hard way and he tends to overcorrect.

yk usually id go on a fake deep rant or two on how feminizing a character whos a canon misogynist & warmongering sex pest fall into fan perceptions of yadda yadda but yall. this mf reuenthal literally imagined himself as his mother& his mother’s paramour as someone strongly resembling his homeboy. like that fucking flashback sequence in ep 90whatever is insane in so many ways if i ever get into a rewatch again i will drop my thinkpiece on it line by line… all the flashbacks of his mom leonora (who in the ova. was left unnamed) he always creepily resembles her. or rather his brain warps her into resembling him. bc he literally could not have known what she looked like . like he even says the foundational flashback of leonora tryna kill his infant self is not something he could have remembered but he believed it & due to his father’s constant abuse of him in his childhood this attempt on his life as soon as he was born became a cornerstone in the development of his Ego (using this to mean his self). like the society he was born into is so reactionary & chauvinist like all the other women on the empire side besides hilda (whos established as an exception to the rule) have very long hair so it makes no sense for a nobless leonora to have short hair just like reuenthal & look just like him. this is literally just his twisted mind cooking w grease. its not only rationale for his misogyny in whats already a v misogynist fictional society.. its also how he defines himself in relation to his mother. the witch who tried to murder the product of her own infidelity & the witch’s brew, her lookalike son with the ever present reminder of her ‘mistake’, who managed to ruin anything good he had in his life by his own hands. imagine if someone introduced the spaceboy to hormones instead of battlecraft & a hypermilitarized space culture

#He wants to murder reinhard & be reinhard! he wants mittermeyer to love him n him only not his wife.. its not me being fujobrained it canon #yn. #ICEBERGS COME BACKKKKKKK #streets need a ep91 reuenthal flashback deep analysis #Leonora did nothing wrong she was just a hustler #Thinking of nat waifu reue wiaw interlude & the 2014 fic w reue tryn on his mama shit #And the omake w the actors where reuenthal pretended to be eva & was like baby u dont gotta be such a quick wolf in bed.. #trolling manbaby or projecting his desires. hm #if u think reuenthal tops. i have a house in atlantis for u bredda #Idk if i should put this in the main tag or not cuz i dont want fanboys to harass me again over this lolz #even crazier cuz like. reue’s pops is said to have fallen for leonora’s beauty. n how women been on reue since he was a kid…wow #lotgh #oskar von reuenthal #the twin stars

if i think too long about how fraggle rock, the muppets, and sesame street are all owned by different companies and their rights are all tied up in corporate bullshit, and how we'll probably never get another thing like muppet family christmas ever again, i get really sad about the state of the world. so i try not to. but sometimes i Do. and i

#i know kermit showed up in the sesame street anniversary special but like #he didn't get to interact with ANY of the sesame muppets #they wouldn't even let them do an elmo cameo in muppets 2011 #i fuckin hate it here #not posting this in the main tag i don't wanna bum people out #one of the coolest things about the muppets was they all just hung out across shows. maybe not fraggle rock as much but the others did #i miss that. i wasn't even alive for most of it and i miss it.

The solar eclipse is gonna happen on the 8th (also happens to be my mom's birthday) and people are already coming in from out of town and it's gonna be really funny because they're predicting it's gonna be completely overcast during the eclipse lol

Like our town is one of the ones in the totality line and is the second (or third?) smallest town on it and we have a total of two motels and one hotel (if you can call it that) and theyve been booked solid for these two weeks since like January. These people are gonna be bored as fuck for the next week. I've lived here for almost three decades and I've never been not bored. The only stores that are still open in the "historic downtown" are the Dollar General, a shitty antique store and the hookah store with the Cheech and Chong gnomes in the window. Closest thing we have to a restaurant is Whataburger.

I saw a family pulled over on the side of the road yesterday all crowded around a tiny patch of Bluebonnets taking pictures, which was just really funny to me because around the corner was an entire field of them and I'm like oh boy when they drive another mile they're gonna lose their fucking minds.

I guess if they get excited about wildflowers then they might not be so bored after all. Just hope they watch the roads while they're driving. 🫣

#like im not one to be boooo out of towners are the devil boooo but also none of these people know how to drive #im assuming most of them come from places where they use public transport and im honestly jealous #none of them are prepared for the sheer number of deer that move around here at night #they even cross the highway on the main street through the commercial part of town at night #do you know how funny it is to see deer eating all the trees they planted in front of mcdonalds #just glad i live a mile away from the main town oof

I rlly liked red hood the hill bc besides the gift it completely ignored everything else with the batfam which to meeee I’m taking it as the hill has been overlooked by the bats forever (see Orpheus rising) so yeah nobody there gives a fuck about those people and jason knows better than to bring that shit over there

#genuinely tho #I dislike the trend rn of simplifying Jason and Bruce’s issues and making it seem like Bruce was nice and accepting all along and Jason just #needs to get with the program #like the fanficication of that and the Damian Bruce issues or Damian tim issues or even Dick and bruce issues #where everything comes down to the kids being insecure and Bruce being bad at communicating #which has always been PART of the main issues but using that as the crux and lens through which a solution will be acheived is a stretch #a stretch only made in fix it fics that is picked up by ppl who dont read shit and then writers who dont read dont care and get a check #THIS IS MY ISSUE WITH WHERE IT SEEMS BATFAM IS GOING THAT IS NOT AN ISSUE I HAVE WITH RE #NOT ABOUT RED HOOD THE HILL #back to red hood the hill #i DO like them #playing off how jason has always been able to relax there #with a community that has eachothers back #and the flip from #his early red hood days to seeing dana go that path is soooo #what i find interesting tho as that he positions himself as support and backup more than a deterrant #like yes he does try to talk her down a lot but most of the time hes living his life with a worried eye on her #and i think it shows to how he reacted to ppl (bruce) being heavy handed with him #and u know i love the batfam repeating awful cycles shit i think its very interesting that this is one jason didnt repeat #maybe bc hes so close to the feeling or that dana isnt to him what he was to bruce or even that hes just relaxing and thinking clearly and #above all trusts her #most toxic fun future would be for her to break that trust and him to go crazy but thats a diff rant #anyways my entire summary for jasons character is that THAT is what good coochie does to a nigga #carmen thank you for your service another crazy off the street 🙏🏾 #red hood and the hill #oh. still no Orpheus mention #no it doesn’t hurt less anytime 💔 #Jason Todd
