#i just *clenches fist* love him so much

[star-railed]

kind of obsessed with how much everyone in the game hates sampo and the fact that you can choose to be nice to him

like in the fight club if you choose 'we should thank him' march literally goes

and even sampo himself is confused if you call him your pal

#i just *clenches fist* love him so much #he's my pathetic meow meow that no one can stand #sampo koski #honkai star rail #hsr

#disco elysium #kim disco elysium #kim kitsuragi #trying to extrapolate the study #i'm clenching my fist trying not to start a whole essay in the tags about how much I love kim #acab except kim #the day i finished the game i printed his portrait and tacked it onto the wall #it's really close to the ceiling so it looks like i'm praying when i'm looking at him #I love the way Kim is written #Absolute angel #but he's also incredibly human and flawed #I mean compared to Harry maybe less flawed but just complex #the whole game is so complex #oh god i started to write alright uhh maybe I'll draw Jean next... #he really grew on me after I got my grubby hands into ao3

I am once again thinking about Di Feisheng.

I'm thinking about his outfits decorated in divine beasts and his associations with forces of nature, with wind and water.

I'm thinking about this outfit, and this moment.

I'm thinking about the legend of the carp that crests the waterfall and becomes a dragon in the skies.

#i just *clenches fist* love him so much #and his outfits and his little beastie hairpin #di feisheng #mlc meta #mysterious lotus casebook #costume appreciation

thinking about how obi wan's literal rite of passage into knighthood was less about him killing a sith and more about him resisting the lure of the dark side even in the face of total devastation and how that beautifully summarizes his entire life

#personal #his struggle isn't noble because it's easy #it's noble because it's so gut wrenchingly difficult to stay in the light #and he does it anyways #''IT TAKES STRENGTH TO RESIST THE DARK SIDE. ONLY THE WEAK EMBRACE IT.'' #EVEN IN THE KENOBI MINISERIES WHERE HE'S AT HIS LOWEST NOT ONCE DOES HE DIP INTO THE DARK SIDE............. #is he stuck in despair? unquestionably so. but his grief is borne of love #clenches fist. i just love him so much

ik it’s probably a classic case of extrapolating way too much but... the way raph’s character design lines up w his whole arc and role and struggles...

like the fact that he is so so so much bigger than the others. raph is big, raph is strong, raph is steady and sturdy and he can literally pick up his entire family and carry them all at once. 

and like, when raph is so big and so strong and such a reliable thing. when raph is the protector, the one calling the shots on missions, the mother hen, the first point of authority. when raph is there, overprotective, when raph (for all that his brothers poke at him not being good under pressure) always always ALWAYS comes through at the end of the day when things are serious, ALWAYS gives it everything he’s got. 

his design and his learned role/behaviors in this family are just the perfect storm of why it took up to the season finale to drive home the issue.

so much of the series carries the default energy of “raph will handle it.”

raph will hold up the ceiling above you. raph will throw himself over you and take a hit and get back up and keep fighting. raph has a power that makes him even bigger and draws more attention and makes him able to carry MORE. raph will be the substitute parent. raph will be put into the mentor role through leo’s leadership arc. 

and raph is big. he’s built to carry heavy loads. raph is strong. raph is bold and loud and always ready to try to push on. even if he doesn’t know what to do or what he’s doing, he won’t give up and we’ll all pull together and things will turn out okay.

(his room is full of teddy bears. he dipped out on a mission to try to take a picture of a pigeon carrying a slice of pizza. he’s terrified of being alone.

he’s just as much of a kid as his brothers are. he’s just as new and inexperienced with the things happening to them as his brothers are. but for him, for some reason, there’s like this double standard where that becomes a huge glaring flaw.)

idk this got very sloppy and uncoordinated. i’m very in my feelings about raph right now though.

#rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt raph #rise raph #rottmnt raphael #honestly i could go on forever and ever about the double standard thing where raph is concerned #like. w movie leo especially leo is learning lessons raph also had to learn in the series! making very similar mistakes! #but you never see analyses or essays pointing to those bad calls as signs that leo isn't up to the task... #(i mean there are some clear Reasons why that happens.) #(its the reason why raph and mikey are the bros who get the least content by a MILE. but. not the point of this post.) #the whole point is just the idle subconscious assumption and associations of it being fine to let raph carry everything #literally physically sure but also metaphorically #and the plight of the child who seems to Need Nothing (all children need; some sadly learn not to appear to need) #even my tags are incoherent rn clenches fists i love him so much is all #like there is a reason it takes to the series finale for him to have a proper breakdown and get actual support from his bros #and i am still mad we never got real good content for him and splinter #considering how similar their arcs ARE.... #thats a whole other thing whatever

mizutaigen is literally like. the first "toxic" m/f ship i've ever cared for. cuz like usually my taste in m/f ships is basically "unhinged baddie" x "badass wifeguy" *

* (see:yen/geralt. trevor/sypha. adolin/shallan. kataang but katara is sane and they're literally so wholesome like theyre traumatised kids in love who are each other's emblem of hope in a war-torn world! so basically they don't count. anyway. i'm rambling.)

and to that end my friend called mizutaigen yaoi-adjacent and im like. yeah you're right actually cuz like hell yeah non-binary mizu and bisexual taigen rights and all the gender fuckery in the show in general

but also like.

theres just SOMETHING else about mizutaigen that just GETS me. like there's a special secret sauce like the pheromones in that one sephora lotion attracting spiders and i am the silly spider!!! there's just something about it!!! it's not even the enemies to lovers trope cuz i personally am not even usually into that (obv it's fine if you are. but yk.)

so as i keep rotating these thoughts around i thiiink it's the fact that, yknow, theyre so similar. like i honestly truly think they could be besties in another universe: a kinder universe where taigen was not taught to hate. a universe where mizu was not born a girl in a deeply misogynistic society or half-white in a xenophobic homogeneous society.

yeah now that i think about it that really just might be THE secret sauce!!! like the fact that they COULD be perfect and happy together, if only things were different, if only they werent themselves.

smth v bittersweet about that's just driving me insane and makes me want to root for them to overcome all those obstacles, to say "fuck all that" (re:the world and all its fucked up shit) and find each other in the end. to eventually become each other's fav person and confidant. who obv still bicker and tease and insult each other all the time but they dont really mean any of it and over time it just becomes a running gag between them and no one else has to get it because it's just between the two of them.

#mizu x taigen #taigen x mizu #taimizu #[clenches fist] it's about the POTENTIAL of it all!!!!! #like taigen's last words in s1 being 'we're not done yet' like ?!? has me WANTING to see more. wanting to see them grow with each other #like i want taigen by the end to be ridiculously head over heels WHIPPED and SMITTEN willing to die and kill and just be BETTER. for mizu. #mizu. the person who changed his entire life. his entire worldview. pulled the rug from under him and made him a man forever changed. #to overcome his selfishness so he can be mizu's HOME in a world that doesn't allow her one #i want him to end up deciding like. 'on purpose. im going to love you on purpose.' #and mizu no matter how much she tries to convince herself that she cannot love or be loved. ends up accepting it anyway #love as work and violence but also love as rest and safety #and also bcs taigen represents the ideals of society. him willing to change & grow also represents society's potential to change & progress #LMAO okay sorry i absolutely cannot stop rambling about these bitches the brainworms are insane #bcs i just noticed that other mizutaigen enjoyers tend to also be in the same fandom circles for ships that i just. do not like. at all #and wondered like huh. i wonder why that is. and wondering what makes mizutaigen different #idk just ignore me i dont even know if im making sense my brain is goop from working on my research proposal #shut up haydar #fandom.rtf

Endlessly tickled by the idea of Akira being a good shot but a shit gamer. I like to think its cause hes got incredible hand eye coordination and super steady ‘surgeon’ hands; hes very good with precise movements, but panics when he has to do brain melting inputs. His brain can keep up but its hard to make his hands follow suit. Its why u can have him be dogshit at arcade cabinets; panicking with the little joystick and button mashing like mad, while having him be a beast at things like darts and billiards.

The only arcade games he can play is house of the dead-esque shooting games (hes literally at the top of the leaderboards for MILES and he draws crowds whenever he plays) and DDR cabinets (hes just very light on his feet)(NOT to be confused with stepmania; he would die if he had to do arrow inputs with his HAND). Its kinda fun to watch him fumble with the other silly gimmick cabinets, but its more entertaining to watch him do what hes good at. If u take him to play darts, and if the darts are super cheap, he will absolutely try his best to split them down the middle each time. Doesnt always work, but its insane to know that he lands the bullseye literally 100% of the time.

#chattin #akira #i just think. having him play games like how my uncle plays games is a silly visual #hes also Tall #so hes like as tall as the fucking machine and shaking it like crazy. hes dying. help him. #but hes never like. hmm #i guess self conscious about looking silly? it doesnt even occur to him bc hes so focused on smashing inputs #so ryuji can take him to the arcade all the time and never get a sore loser for a teammate or rival #on the flipside. he is so good w knives its scary #and like. anything sharp. and anything thats a projectile tbh #if u took him to do archery i think he would love it. #but for now hes got Baseball and Darts. and hes good at Both. #i know royal has him playing darts or something w goro?? #i think its cute. also funny. goro would lose miserably and get so fucking tight. like alright. im not taking u here anymore. #akira opts to just watch bc he didnt think he was going to hang out w a sore loser #and goro HAS to challenge that. obviously. #like *clenched fist* ‘no. i insist. were here for a. good time. friendly competition is. healthy.’ #*clenches jaw so tightly u can hear it pop* ‘another round? ‘ #thinking about it; turnbased rpgs would be perfect for him. hes very bad at action games and fighting games #so playing games that dont demand that from u would be nice for him. #rhythm games would be easy too; the focus isnt on the hands but the beat #he doesnt have to THINK about hand inputs #MAYBE racing games would work too? but high speed racing games like burnout would be too much for him i think #and depending on the TYPE of shooter; fps games would be bad; third person shooters even more so

genuinely believe nameless bard would still try to pick up venti. just because he’s no longer wisp size does not mean he loses wisp privileges!!!

anyways, please imagine venti talking to someone, and bard comes up behind him to pick him up bridal style—even swinging them around a little! imagine bard carrying venti fireman style as they run away from a diluc chasing them. imagine bard grabbing venti and holding him up simba style, and venti does that cat thing where they just. go long. the possibilities…...

#pov you see nameless bard gently cradling venti on a bench wyd #someone: wow you must be strong if you can pick up that bard multiple times a day #bard who very much knows venti weighs about as much as a feather: it’s the love <3 #idk i just think that they drag each other around in any way possible #bard taking a stroll and suddenly he’s being picked up by the wind and ventis just comes up to him. braids glowing. and “ehe :3” #bard obviously responds to this by tackling venti to the ground the next day and holds him (both of them curled up) while cooing over him #“my sweet and lovely and most darling venti who i love so much—” #“(voice of a guy who hasn’t had this kind of affection in literal millennia) im taking a bite out of every apple we have in that bowl” #urhrbrbrnfk the Them #genshin impact #venti #nameless bard #they just (clenches fist) LOVE each other so much #my posts

i know it’s been said before but. i’m going to say it again. kaeya alberich is more important and relevant to the overall plot of genshin impact than his free base game 4–star status would have you believe and he absolutely deserves to get the honkai: star rail dan heng treatment and get a 5–star version ✨

#kayleigh.txt #thank you for coming to my tedtalk 😂 #it probably won’t happen because it isn’t something they do in genshin impact but. wouldn’t it be so nice 🥲 #i just (clenches fists) love him so damn much #genshin impact #kaeya alberich #kaeya #❄ kaeya my beloved 🩵

Duke is always left out of the conversation of batfamily

Yep and it's so annoying cuz one. Only black batfamily member >> and two: he's geniunely so fucking interesting??

g1deon has more game than anyone else in that universe. he's got Pyrrha leaving the cops for a deranged necromancer he's got Wake fucking a deranged necromancer (him) he's got Pyrrha proxy fucking Wake because she's only ever known two people that insane and it gets her down horrendous. the man is ugly & according to Jod he mostly doesn't fuck. Wake thinks he deserves a quick death. Pyrrha loved him on sight and asked him to kiss her before she died. what is going on with this man.

#wake/g1deon/Pyrrha is just so #clenches fist #the way g1deon and wake are both true believers who will burn!!! #but on opposite sides #and Pyrrha is an I do don't do causes I just love you kind of gal #and somehow! g1deon and wake also fell in some kind of love #everything Pyrrha says about g1deon gets me she's so gentle about him #he was always looking for something to throw himself on #she loved him so much cheers to tamsyn muir for being like here's the hottest woman of all time she bi but obsessed with an ugly man #and im just weeping because their love was so real and he ate part of her soul & now she puppets around his body watching other people make #their old mistakes and it makes me want to scream #conspiracy theory that in their first iteration he held her at arm's length for ages because she wasn't committed to the cause #it's a Leia/Han relationship and she's Han #second life second chance and Jod is so smug about it #like yes it ended in g1deon eating Pyrrha #what of it

fletcher renn deserved so so so much better

#skulduggery pleasant #Fletcher renn #god I just *clenches fist* have so many feelings about characters who get put down by the narrative #ESPECIALLY if it’s for the LOLZ or they’re relegated as the buttmonkey or the Dumb One #SO WHAT #I think scapegrace got a better arc than him. SCAPE. GRACE. #ugh I miss him so much. dark days and mortal coil my beloved. #he’s the acceptable target bc he’s not as witty or shrewd or strong as the others #but he’s so so so good and he’s always trying so hard to be wanted and useful #he’s literally just an abandoned teenager ugh crying #*thinks about him saving everyone at the end of dark days* *how he just did it on instinct and no one expected it from him* #I’m actually glad he did get away from skul and Val and joined the monster hunters #but we didn’t see enough of his adventures with them I would so love to see the #see donegan and gracious and dai and Fletcher all care and support each other #anyway bear with me
