i love how illumi and hisoka are freak by nature x freak by act. like hisoka could 100% be a normal person if he chose to be one day but illumi couldn't act normal even if he tried

Hisoka is the guy that makes a conscious effort for people to perceive him as a disgusting freak every single day but Illumi doesnt even have to try. he just is. he exists and people are weirded the fuck out by him. Even hisoka agrees too like 😭😭😭😭

#like hisoka in greed island was the definition of. what if he was a normal guy. #all he ever did was lie and play dating sims and maybe 1 volleyball game. he even said shit like teamwork makes the dreamwork #even gon was like wtf hisoka is so ooc right now HFHDXJHHSJGHS #meanwhile illumis normal is just. nonexistent. because hes not normal. #that time he went “theyll realize how different are worlds are” oh yeah. #also to be called fucked up by hisoka? illumi won the fucked up hxh bitch title i fear. #hisoillu #hisoka x illumi #illumi #illumi zoldyck #hisoka #hisoka morow #hxh #hunter x hunter #my post

its so funny that all minute—the guy who once upon a time hoped to redeem zam—'s team has accomplished is getting him to consider giving up his remaining honor in order to match the level they're playing on ?

#m #lifesteal #i can't stop thinking about minute&co dismissing the argument about how they've encouraged players #to ban themselves and thus contradicted their own stated goal #the way 'peaceful ending' warped into 'it doesn't matter what we do so long as we can flip a switch at the end' but what the fuck happens #in a scenario where you unban everyone who you've pissed off ? are they happy? is that peace? and you won't even defend the choice! #what the fuck is happening here! #you laugh at zam for saying he's won but you won't have the argument that you know you'd lose ^_^ #none of this is angry in tone i'm having fun. thisis my bread and butter. i'm happy lifesteal is weird and tense again #enjoying that it's looped this far around into the ACTIVE dismissal of rp-logic where zam&co are having to say 'okay then #we'll win This game too!' #them acting dismayed that mapicc wouldn't walk into that obsidian box. like oh my god #and it's so different from the weird tenseness of s4 it's something different entirely. new meta conflicts just for me !???? #we'll see how it all ends.... they might make me mad again but we'll cross that bridge #it's so different from the Vitalasy Incident even though both involve people functioning in opposition to lifesteal's 'storytelling rules' #for vi it was because of his emotional investment. it manifested in nothing but endless 'character-level' debate in the lead up and #plenty of emotional roleplay from vitalasy in the aftermath #vi's primary effect on season 4 through the wormhole was to render lifesteal's gameplay obsolete #pb&j's primary effect is instead to focus intently on Winning that game while everything else falls by the wayside

You ever think about how Coriolanus never left the arena either?

"Because if he dies, I'll never go home, not really. I'll spend the rest of my life in this arena trying to think myself out. "

-The Hunger Games.

I wish I could put this together better, or have a poetic zinger to get to the heart of this matter, But I really think that when you think about it, you'll also realize that Coriolanus never left the arena, and this lead to him realizing that he was really good at playing the Hunger Games, and thus made the entire world of Panem an arena. Because if you can control the one and only game, than of course you will always land on top.

I don't think I could go so far as to say that it was his coping mechanism, but since he clearly was a touch traumatized from the up close death of Arachne, the death of his fellow students and the bombing itself, including the fact that over the course of weeks Coriolanus was literally an eighteen year old that was put into the position of plotting other teens deaths in order to come out on top, as well as being ordered to go into the arena itself and had to kill another person in self defense, all leads to how he ended up viewing the world as an entire arena even after the games were over.

He literally betrays his two "allies" in Sejanus and Lucy Grey because he never stopped being inside the arena.*

I do however think that the biggest factor that leads into this is that in Mockingjay, its revealed that he used Game techniques as defenses against the city. With Mutts and pods that killed anyone who triggered them, not just rebels.

that's not really a sign of someone who is viewing the world with even a semi normal brain. Granted, it was an effective defense, but only for very short periods of time, and not very effective against literal armies, or even just several legions. Seriously, If Snow had thought just once outside his arena worldview, he would probably had thought of better strategies against the rebels, or even had seen that he was truly on a losing game and had surrendered far earlier. relying entirely on gamemaker logic was what lead him to such a defeat.

Because maybe we could talk about how Coriolanus never left the arena, while Katniss and every other tribute tried to leave.

#coriolanus snow #meta #tbosas #thg #*i just really like of the idea that Coriolanus thought of Sejanus #and Lucy Grey as fellow Tributes #even though Lucy Grey was clearly the victor #Coriolanus decided to push her down instead so that he'd be the victor. the tribute that won. #also probably could make a joke here about how the hunger games was just Coriolanus's new special interest. #his hyperfixation of 66 years that the rest of the country had to endure.

new wip wednesday

i wanted to get the first chapter of this done as an early bday present to me because ive been talking about this fic for foreverrrrr but its not gonna happen because im bad at measuring time and effort 😮‍💨 but look! hunger games au fic!

Anakin pushes his face into his neck, letting his lips press against his pulse for a moment. 

“Anakin,” Obi-Wan murmurs, recognition and warning rolled into one tone. 

But Anakin wouldn’t be who he is if he allowed the man in his arms to so easily twist away. He wouldn’t even be here now, pressed up against him with the scent of saltwater and lilacs and leather filling his nose, if he let one warning word distract him from his goal.

So instead he pushes further, wraps his hands around Obi-Wan’s hips and takes the skin beneath his lips between his teeth. The soft fabric of their pants brush together, so loud in the stillness of the kitchen that it’s deafening—that it’s almost loud enough to drown out the catch in Obi-Wan’s breathing.

But Anakin has trained himself over the past five years to listen for all the small ways that Obi-Wan Kenobi capitulates, so he hears his sigh, feels the slump of his shoulders against his own as his head sways forward and then back.

Anakin takes his time worrying a bitemark into his neck, just at the edge of his beard. On the holos that will film Obi-Wan’s face today, it’ll look like a shadow. 

But Anakin will know. Obi-Wan will know. 

“Anakin,” his lover murmurs, and Anakin’s hand moves from his waist up to stroke down his arm, corded with tense muscle. Fisherman’s muscle. Victor’s muscle too.

Not today, he means. It’s obvious in every line of his body. It’s obvious in the fact that he left the bed so early in the morning when neither of them must work. It’s obvious in the distance in his eyes, the frown across his lips.

Today is not a day where Obi-Wan will accept pleasure from anyone’s lips or hands, undeserving as he feels to be on the receiving end of such a kindness.

Anakin’s left hand falls to cover Obi-Wan’s, tangling their fingers together. His are rougher than Obi-Wan’s, working man’s hands now that he is twenty-one and a man of the sea like most are on Stewjon. The rough drag of his calluses over the hairy knuckles of Obi-Wan’s hand makes Anakin swallow a smile. Victors of the Hunger Games are forbidden from working laborious jobs. They’re meant to languish away in their Coruscanti-funded manors, with idle minds and idle hands, picking at paints or design stencils or any number of different government approved hobbies

Obi-Wan Kenobi is not made to be idle. He has no patience for painting or sewing, for cooking or jewelry design. Luckily for him, Stewjon is the fourth planet from Coruscant, on the edge of the inner rim, and it’s rather small, rather ordinary. In the colder months, during the few months of the star year where the galaxy is not forced to care about the Hunger Games and its Victors, he can slip away to the ocean. Fish and sail like he was born to do, Stewjoni through and through.

But Anakin is out on those choppy seas year-round now that he’s four years finished with his compulsory education. His hands are rougher than Obi-Wan’s and they always will be.

Anakin likes it. Likes the way Obi-Wan’s softness contrasts against his own rougher places. Likes that he can sneak away from Obi-Wan’s manor in the blue of the pre-dawn light, first to the sea and then to the market, and Obi-Wan will be there when he gets back. Likes that when he leaves, his lover is curled up asleep in their bed. And when he returns with the fattest fish from his haul, Anakin can cook it for him too. 

He likes that he is the only thing Obi-Wan needs. He provides. He cooks for him. He feeds him. He touches him with his rough hands, to dirty him and then to clean him up. Everything that Obi-Wan needs, Anakin is the person to give it to him.

He supposes he has Coruscant to thank for that.

He’s not stupid enough to say that—ever, but especially today. Especially on the day of the Reaping. 

#wip wednesday #obikin #hunger games au #so like its gonna be set in the gffa slightly #so each district from the book is a either planet or planetary system #and coruscant is of course the capitol #anakin and obi-wan live in district 4 aka stewjon #im having a lot of fun examining their relationship #my bday is on saturday i just think this first chapter is going to be so long #because it covers from them waking up to anakin's reaping #which includes anakin talking in the market with other people on stewjon #because we love an outsiders implied pov on obikin and anakin specifically #and then also obi-wan's own reaping #cause i figure more than one person has won the hunger games in the past 50 years or whatever #so they must do some sort of drawing for the mentor too #its usually obi-wan tho #bad luck or capitol favoritism #or obi-wan volunteering even though he hates it because one of the other victors just had a baby or has small kids #or is too old #or something #anyway this is not a start wednesday done by saturday sorta project lol #im too passionate about these batshit insane characters

One thing people need to understand about me is that I am always role-playing. Even and especially when I'm playing board games where that's not the point. So to me, games where the mechanics have literally nothing to do with the framing device are kind of absurd.

#yesterday I played a board game called Animal Dominance #I had never played it before but it's one of my friend's favorites #the concept is basically the different animal kingdoms fighting each other for dominance over the planet #before even knowing the mechanics I demanded to play Insects #because I was already in the mindset of imagining how this would play out #and I just can't imagine any other group beating insects #reptiles won by dominating the tundra btw #so realism is not being well served here #but hey the mechanics matched the theme so I was able to get well absorbed

ASFHLHDGH GUYS IT WORKED!

I made an alliance with Gortash, agreed to meet with him near the Morphic pool, THEN went to Iron Throne and saved prisoners, then destroyed the Steel Watch Foundry.

And Gortash was waiting for me near the Morphic Pool like nothing happened.

He probably doesn't even KNOW I went and broke two of his playgrounds the moment he looked away. Banites had no way to communicate with him when he left, I'm-

#bg3 spoilers #bg3 #enver gortash #lord enver gortash #this is it I won the game #i sided with gortash AND saved gondians and Ravengard. ha. HA #baldurs gate 3 #baldurs gate 3 spoilers #the key is maybe to deal with orin AND rush to gortash asap #i haven't even got the first bloodied letter from orin #had maybe 2 long rests between entering the city and meeting gortash.

The sheer number of spider man game fans who are whining over Neil Newbon winning best performance is so funny. My partner is an avid Final Fantasy and Legend of Zelda enjoyer, and they were rooting for Clive’s VA and Tears of the Kingdom to win more awards than they did. But you know what happened when Baldur’s Gate 3 won? My partner grumbled but accepted the loss with grace and acknowledged that BG3 was a good game.

Meanwhile I have never seen such sore losers as the Spider Man 2 fans. They are in videos of people celebrating Neil Newbon’s performance, congratulating him on his win, and sharing their favorite parts of his performance leaving comments like “rigged af”, “Yuri lost to this?”, and “😭 we know these girl voted cause they were creaming for him” (that last one is a direct quote). As if that isn’t a phrase I’ve never heard before. Accept the L! You were outvoted! This is how the awards work, people vote for what they like! Cry about it, and go touch some grass!

#2023 game awards #baldur’s gate 3 #neil newbon #astarion #the ‘you only like him because he’s hot’ is so worn to death #pick a new insult! #you did it with Loki you did it with Kylo Ren you did it with so many others that I’ve lost count #stop making fun of women for enjoying things! #also consider that not only women voted for BG3 for the other awards it won #Astarion isn’t even the most popular character to romance you fools #the most popular three are the female companions #I assure you a large part of this game’s fan base is straight men #just stop treating women’s interests as lesser!
