#i personally feel like the 2 figures

[lillotte17]

Okay so I watched the new trailer and I liked it but I was a little underwhelmed just because...they are being SO stingy about anything past "It has Solas in it!" and "We're in Tevinter now!"

But like...the more I thought about it, the weirder it seems? Like yeah it made sense at first because they had to scrap the whole game at least...2 times?? So, of course they didn't say anything THEN, but it's in alpha now and the story and characters have got to be pretty locked in, so it feels weird that they are being THIS secretive about stuff when they have a nearly ten year old fanbase that are living off breadcrumbs for sustenance. (I know there's other side stuff, but side stuff is appetizers at best and the game is the entree.)

But what if the whole point of just constantly saying "It has Solas in it! You're gonna face him! Your old pal, Fen'Harel! Remember when he ripped your arm off?? :D" Is just like....a big red herring??

I am feeling very:

And I know other people have made a similar point, but...

We had this mural in Trespasser, and there were theories all the way back then saying that the circles outside the "Veiled" area in the center could be the Evanuris, or possibly the old Tevinter gods.

And then we got this:

In the previous trailer, withe the 7 circles again. All dark save 2. And people were thinking they were more likely the old dragon gods because we've had 5 blights, so there's only 2 left...

And now we have:

THE SAME SEVEN CIRCLES but now with SYMBOLS. TWO of which are clearly:

THESE terrifying specters from the other trailer!!

WHICH MAKES ME FEEL PRETTY CERTAIN THAT SOMETHING IN THE NEXT GAME IS GOING TO INVOLVE FIST FIGHTING AN ANCIENT ELVEN GOD. (You know...another one. Who didn't dump you on your first real date and steal your hand)

I ALSO think that they are the old god dragons, OR that the dragons are the "locks" on their prison in the Fade, and that is why Solas was VERY unhappy with the Wardens wanting to find the last Archdemons and kill them off. Killing the dragon seems to temporarily stop the blight, but if they are actually the Evanuris, it might be setting them loose. I mean, Flemmeth/Mythal has been killed at least 3 times and it doesn't seem to have slowed her roll, so...

So, maybe they are being very loud about Solas so you don't think too hard about the absolute horrors standing right behind him. >_>;

Which...holy heck, that is going to be a HUGE amount of new stuff!! EXCITING!! But as a solasmancer, it does make me a little anxious that he really is only going to be a part of the main game for like 5 minutes before the Big Twist happens, and we never hear from him again. 🥺

can’t talk about it

[ID: Black and white comic of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. The comic starts with the sounds "thud, thud, click". Vash, mid-action of peeling an apple, turns to the sound, noticing who it was that entered, and says, "Oh, Wolfwood, you're back." He resumes back to his apple in the next panel as he speaks, "Where'd you go? You snuck out of bed quickly this morning..." Wolfwood's hand then enters the panel, hovering over Vash's cheek and Vash looks up as Wolfwood asks, "Can I?" Vash responds, "Not going to talk about it?" while using a hand to gently hold Wolfwood's hovering hand and presses a kiss to his inner palm.

Vash then gets up fully, setting down the knife down on the table and the apple onto a plate, He leans into Wolfwood as Wolfwood explains, "Had to meet someone. Nothing interesting to talk about." Vash kisses Wolfwood's left cheek and a hand moves to cup his other cheek while muttering, "You're being vague." Wolfwood says neutrally, "If yer really that curious, keep askin'. We  can talk about that instead of doing this." Vash leans back and responds, "Let's talk after, since... You look so tired."

The panel pans to a close up of Wolfwood's downcast eyes, bags heavy underneath his eyes. He doesn't allow Vash to sit in that moment for long though, then saying, "Yer not helping, Spikey. Being all slow with it... I could fall asleep right now." He moves his hand to start unclasping Vash's coat, starting from his collar. Vash with red cheeks, responds briskly, "Oh, shut up. I'm worried about you. I can't be worried?"

The final shot shows Wolfwood's back to the viewer while Vash's softened expression can be seen as he holds gently onto the side of Wolfwood's face and a hand firm on his waist. Wolfwood responds, "I'm fine, seriously," pausing for a moment before continuing, "Is it okay to still..?" Vash responds, "Yeah, it's okay."

The next image is a shot from later that night after the previous comic. Vash and Wolfwood are now in bed, half naked. Wolfwood's buries his face into Vash's chest, his arms wrapped around him, while Vash is petting at his hair. Vash reminds him, "Hey. You said we'd talk about it." Wolfwood pauses for a moment before piping up, "In the morning? I'm sleepy." Vash says, "Okay..."

The next two pages start from the morning after. Wolfwood is already fully awake, pulling on his outer jacket as he says to Vash, whos' still bundled in his blankets, "Breakfast is on the table. Make sure to eat it. I'm going to grab some things in town and then we're leavin'. Got it?" Vash says, "Mh." Wolfwood responds, "Good. See ya in a bit." The dialogue starts to shift into Vash's inner thoughts now, as he gets up and eats toast, thinking, "Wait. Weren't we supposed to... talk about it?" The next shot then shows him fully up, meeting Wolfwood in town. He carries a half worried expression with him while Wolfwood slides on his glasses for him. A quick panel shows Wolfwood's tired expression from the night before and quickly juxtaposes with Wolfwood in front of him who's smiling gently, the shades covering his eye bags. Wolfwood asks him, "Still not awake yet?" Vash pauses, his thoughts stirring, thinking, "Oh. I guess I was getting ahead of myself... thinking you owe me that kind of honesty." He smiles at Wolfwood and responds, "I'm awake!" His thoughts continue, "Maybe one day, you'd trust me enough to share your burdens."

The final image shows Wolfwood pulling at Vash's cheek and Vash complains, "Owwwww why..." Wolfwood quickly says, "You were thinking something stupid, right? It's all over yer face." Vash mutters, "Nooo, I wasn't..." END ID]

stacy is sooo interesting because she's in love with house but knows that they will never ever be able to have a healthy, stable, sane relationship because they're too similar so. she finds house-lite instead and marries him and. essentially moves on with her life! and is successful in this because she's a moderately well-adjusted person!

wilson, in contrast, never manages to escape the inevitable, in spite of his best efforts to find a house-lite of his very own, because he's an absolute fucking freak and ends up glued to house to the bitter. bitter end

hades 2 spoilers below the cut. rambling about a post-final boss piece of dialogue

this is such an interesting line and it makes mel's character SO good to me

like. her entire life was marked by the tragedy that took place when she was too young to remember, and from the moment it happened it was expected that she would be fully dedicated to making it right, because that was her family that was taken. that was the mother and father and brother that, if they'd had the chance to raise her, she would love more than the world itself. she should want them back more than anything.

but, the thing is? she has other love. she has hecate and the other people in the crossroads. she can't miss the love that she didn't have from her family because it never happened - and yet, her entire life from the moment chronos took them, she was expected to be so angry and stricken with grief over it that she would be willing to dedicate her entire life to killing him.

because that's what she should be doing with all of that anger and loss - it should fuel her to kill chronos. that's her goal. that's what she has been training for her entire life.

mel is a good person - she does want her family back. she meets her father for the first time and it's a deeply emotional moment for her. it's important to note that she doesn't actually mean what she says here. but she's been expected to be motivated by loving them so much that ever expressing that she doesn't actually love them as much as she's supposed to has never been an option. nemesis tells her that she isn't fully motivated by loving them in order to hurt her - and it hurts her because it's true (at least to a degree that she finds unacceptable within herself).

and when she gets that crucial step closer to achieving her goal - death to chronos, and here he is, about to die - he asks her to hypothetically pick between not achieving that goal, and potentially doing harm to the family that she is meant to love than anything...

and the motivation to kill him, the thing that has been drilled into her over and over, the first line that you hear her speak when you start the game - that is what wins.

#hades 2 #hades 2 spoilers #also chronos's response is pretty interesting for such a short line #he calls her “my girl” which feels like a term of endearment #like imo it's pretty clear from chronos's interactions with mel once he figures out who she is #that he's interested in like. being friends (evil) #and I think hearing her say this has him internally go #“ah yes. that's my granddaughter alright” #anyway this is just my personal interpretation #I've seen someone else say that this is just her internalising nem's taunting #I find this interpretation much more interesting but we'll have to wait until the final game to see how they go with it

Actually all my other svsss characters in mdzs universe thoughts pale in comparison to the truth: if Shen Yuan was in mdzs he would sit Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian down for a 4 hour long lecture about how much women struggle on a daily basis and how Jiang Yanli deserves a 2 month long spa break and weekly therapy sessions

#when i read this back it FEELS like im making sy out to be a better person than he is but to be honest. i do think he would see jyl for who #she is (traumatized parentified child) and he would be PISSED about it #he has the benefit of being a pampered younger child who has had to grow up and reflect on how much elder sibling figures try #through watching qijiu's story #and he also had a part in raising 2 girls (nyy and his sister) who he tbh just wants to be happy #so yeah. i do think shen yuan is a good guy . that doesnt erase how hes also super cringe though dont worry guys #svsss #scumbag self saving system #mdzs #sqq #shen qingqiu #mxtx crossover #scum villain's self saving system #mo dao zu shi

hellooooo ive made a uc fankid oc <3 more about her under the cut, so that this post isnt a mile long <3

her name is Dyllin, because i had to, and shes SO cute. Shes got a little lopsided grin, and one dimple, and the cutest smattering of freckles on her nose right where her fur starts to turn pink. Both Rian and Atty are trans, so they raised her gender neutrally until she could tell them who she was herself (thus atty using they for her in that one art), and when she was about 3 she said she was a girl and now she wears all the pretty flowy dresses she can get her hands on (uncle foq supplies many of them)!

in the art above shes: 14, 16 (colored in), 19? (lines), ambiguous age younger than 3, 5?, and also 5. I think that ill mainly draw her as a little kid or around 14, cause those ages are where more interesting dynamics happen with people. Lots of funny kiddy moments, and growing into your own person moments. Which! is what im about in fankids! beyond just drawing a cute kid and having fun with design (which im also all about but just to give an explaination for why im drawing her at those ages). I dont think i want to go into adult ages for her yet, cause for the moment its about her being a fankid for me.

She takes after Chet and mostly Foq much more in personality than either of her actual parents, so shes a very carefree happy-go-lucky kid. To Rian's absolute horror (see below, for their rage at finding out), Foq flounces his way into being a archfey and becomes her warlock patron when shes a little kid, but its alright Aunt Scenda is her cleric deity so shes got a balance for his chaos! (she doesnt balance shit but it does make rian not kill foq over the pact so! whatever works!)

#my art #unprepared casters #off the rails #if you dont want to see her block this tag -> #dyllin wright #(no judgement if you do obvs) #anyway. ive been holding onto her since on the rocks part 2. before we knew they both made it #i made her and then went aw fuck i made a fankid (whoops) for characters that may or may not make it (whoops!) #SO ive been holding onto her for a while cause i was like. doubting myself if i should keep her officially cause while fankids are normal- #for me to make. they arent like usual content for dnd shows i think? it feels a lot more personal and i had a whole debate with myself for- #a WHILE. and it quickly morphed into a debate on whether i should POST her cause i uhh didnt stop drawing her? as you can see? #eventually decided that i would test the waters (talked with friends privately about it and also posted a more like usual oc with kor) #it all went well so i figured id wait til a between arcs week and then post her. and here we are! #we miiight have a post mortem still coming for 12 idr buuuut i want to show her now i think #aaaaaannnnnd POST

[shadowfloofster]

Aghhhh something that's been bothering me for ages and has kinda risen up again is Baghera being Dapper's mum.

I just- I don't like it! Love Baghera she's so cool and she cares for everyone so much and is amazing at building but this is one thing that really bothers me. But she isn't Dapper's other parent.

Why? Because Bad never agreed. He just stopped arguing the point but has never called Dapper their child, only his and calls her "aunt Baghera" to him.

There's a big difference between Dapper being adopted by Baghera and Pomme being adopted by Bad, even though it's the exact same people. And that's agreement.

When Bad came up to Baghera and said he was adopting Pomme, she immediately agreed! Bad said to Baghera what he was doing and she agreed immediately! I don't think he ever called Pomme his daughter until Pomme called him dad! (I point that out as Bad asked to adopt Pomme, so if she didn't want to see him as one of her dads she could refuse without him calling her his daughter immediately)

While Bad was away for 5 days, Dapper asked Baghera to adopt him. The first 5 days Bad takes off after 3 months I'm pretty sure, and Dapper decides he wants to be adopted by someone else then neither take no for an answer when he returnd.

You know what that could imply? Bad isn't good enough. To the character, that could be a MASSIVE slap in the face as a single parent for months and the first time he has a small break he finds out he's been replaced in a way! Then when he argues the point he's dismissed because they're happy so he should just let it be!

The conversation Bad had with Tallulah about wanting to adopt her temporarily till Wilbur was back is a big sign of how Bad might have taken it! He mentions he didn't want her to feel like he was trying to replace Wilbur in anyway and he understood when she said no!

Bad sees family as a BIG thing, others wanted to adopt Tallulah but he told them not to without properly thinking about how it'd make her feel! He waited for a time bringing it up would be right and made sure she knew she could say no and understood he wasn't trying to replace her papi!

It's just always bothered me how quick everyone was to treat Baghera as Dapper's other parent when Bad has never agreed, just stopped arguing the point because he's constantly shot down and basically told to just deal with it.

A mother figure and being his other parent are 2 different things. Ramòn and Tallulah have called Bad a father figure in different ways but he isn't their other parent! There would be 0 issues if Baghera was a mother figure or had talked to Bad before saying she's his mum!

Idk, nothing against any characters or CCs it just- bothers me especially as she keeps calling Dapper her son when Bad still never agreed (and on twitter, it's hard to stay off there when people aren't posting things enough about my fixation here, Dapper was trending and it took 21 posts to find one about Dapper and Bad that wasn't a clip)

#qsmp ramble #qsmp baghera #qsmp badboyhalo #qsmp dapper #Yes Dapper's feelings also matter but a kid can't go up to someone and say “adopt me” #then for the person asked to agree and refuse to acknowledge the parent actively in the kids life's feelings about it isn't how things work! #Baghera can still be family without being a parent! #She can still be a mother FIGURE without being a parent! just like how Bad's a father figure to at least 2 other eggs! #Kids don't NEED 2 parents to be happy! #I know it's roleplay but the way Baghera and Dapper went about it is frustrating and the way fandom treats it is infuriating
