I don’t think it really hits everyone that Winter would have died in Winter v Ironwood if Penny didn’t sacrifice herself. Of course Penny didn’t know what was happening on Winter’s side but her sacrifice was the ONLY thing that gave Winter a leg up on Ironwood.
Ironwood trained Winter. He knew exactly how to defeat her once they started fighting because he TAUGHT HER HOW TO FIGHT. They weren’t equally matched. It was an unfair fight!
I started playing stardew valley knowing pretty much nothing beyond "you got a farm" and "grandpa's bed is fucked up" and at first I thought it had vibes similar to what I'd seen from animal crossing. I'm just planting my little crops and fishing in the lake and checking in with the villagers every day. And then I stumbled on my first heart scene and it was a dude getting drunk and talking about being depressed. Anyway 10/10 would get emotional whiplash again.
i love rewatching mine cutscenes cause even if he tries to be about as emotional as a boulder there’s always at least one single frame of him where a thousand words couldn’t really encapsulate everything he’s feeling in that moment
underrated gilear moment: in the very first episode when he sees right through fig’s disguise self as sandra lynn and takes her to school anyway and hits her with “alright, your former lover’s in there— what, you think i’m a fool? i raised you! and don’t call me gilear.” and then gets tears in his eyes when fig says he’s just a stranger with no biological link to her.
i just. he’s her dad. it’s obvious from jump that he loves her and never stopped seeing himself as her dad.
Why yes I AM reading the goblin emperor and witness for the dead AGAIN in anticipation for the grief of stones even tho it's been less than a year since I last read them
