vince: i don't really understand the appeal of shar but i respect your--

shadowheart: you disgust me. how dare you worship selune. we are sworn enemies now. i hate you so much

#it's ok she'll come around #i want to romance her because i do think the selune shar thing is interesting i'm hoping there'll be a lot of dialogue related to it #in act 2 maybe #generally i think the game does this really well tbh you know #making race and class and even subclasses and deities and whatnot matter #tiefling and warlock were a little disappointing to me tbh but not necessarily bad #i did like that you can actually read astarion's scars when you're a tiefling though that's very fun #the warlock options that did exist were fun too i just wish there was more patron interaction i guess #paladin is a lot of fun so far though #drow even more so #paladin makes me a bit nervous though i am so going to accidentally break my oath

it’s kind of crazy that both fallout new Vegas and fallout 4 have the same driving force for the first half of the narrative (find the guy who wronged you and make him pay) but Benny is so much more memorable and narratively interesting than Kellogg.

It’s a matter of a strong character foil versus a weak one, in my opinion.

Benny and the courier are very much alike. They are both ambitious people who are willing to do anything possible to stack the odds in their favour. Honestly, Benny and the courier are the same card, reversed.

The Sole Survivor and Kellogg are also intended to be character foils. The game tries to convince us of this with the scenes in Kellogg’s mind, where we see that he ‘isn’t so different’ from our protagonist after all. But we don’t know anything about Kellogg other than his backstory. How can he parallel the protagonist if we don’t know which traits he has? Which traits the two of them share?

(As a side note, I wish Fallout 4 had touched way more on the ‘Man/Woman Out of Time’ thing. The protagonist being frozen in the past + Kellogg being functionally immortal would’ve been really cool to explore! Especially in the context of grief!)

In the end, I think the reason Benny is a more powerful character foil is that he doesn’t disappear from the world when you kill him. The chairmen can mourn him, House will comment on it, and even NPCs across the Mojave will talk about Benny’s death!

In Kellogg’s case, the protagonist is basically the only person who knows he even existed! Once he’s dead HE’s DEAD! He disappears completely from the narrative! As soon as you leave fort Hagen, the game doesn’t bother looking back.

that’s why Benny is a more haunting force for new Vegas; particularly an independent courier. You are Benny’s legacy because you are what he leaves behind whether he likes it or not. People remember him as the couriers victim. Meanwhile, nobody remembers Kellogg at all. The memory of who Kellogg was dies with you, and you can choose to forget him.

#i hope this makes sense #my ‘what if fo4 had interesting writing’ moment #what I would’ve wanted to see is more Kellogg&sole survivor parallels #+Kellogg to be relevant in act 2 or 3 #+ MAYBE JUST MAYBE. we get the chance to spare him #it just frustrates me that fo4 has a lot of wasted potential #fo4 #fallout 4 #fallout #fnv #fallout new vegas #benny fnv #conrad kellogg #kellogg fo4

Also the fucking irony. Of Kendall getting mad at Tom for that unhinged line but then calling shiv a piece of dirt like 20 minutes later is not lost on me but also that really is the quintessential sibling experience, it has to be said

#have to think of ‘whose being nasty to Frank only I’m allowed to be nasty to frank’ #also maybe that’s just me but for some reason when Roman and shiv fight awfully ppl are just like oh sibling fights LOL but whenever shiv #and Ken do people act like it’s wayyyy more serious. like guys they’ve done the worst things imaginable to each other and still forgave the #other person like #idk. that maybe hopefully is not the quintessential sibling experience but it is the quintessential Ken and shiv experience #succession #Kendall Roy #shiv Roy #they just do this. they’ll forget about it in 2 days (I say hoping and looking at Jesse Armstrong like you better not switch shit up this #time around ….)

Can we just talk about the stark contrast between these two clips? The persona is so different

(GIF by @aegonx )

#aegon targaryen #tgc’s acting is amazing #he looked so terrified and sad in season 1 #to looking angry and bitter in season 2 #maybe even more cocky and confident #wondering if the clips in the trailer are post blood and cheese #can’t stop thinking about it #hotd #house of the dragon #house targaryen #aegon ii targaryen #team green

I like to imagine Kudou "Got together with Yoichi in less than 2 months" is infuriated with Izuku "Miscommunication with Kacchan for 10+ years" Midoriya

He is tapping his foot waiting for those kids to talk and kiss already

#he wasn't even there all those years but he sees the way izuku acts around bakugou and wants to rip his hair out #kudou: back in my day we didn't beat around the bush like this. we didn't have time to. #kudou: we just confessed and kissed because the world was in chaos and you didn't know whether it would be your last day on earth or not! #izuku looking at yoichi: First... please help #it would probably be like that #or maybe #izuku: its hard to explain but me and kacchan... we've only just started talking normally again and i can't mess that up #izuku annoyed: it's a lot more complicated than what you think it is #smthg like that idk lol #i feel like izuku would overthink whether the crush is mutual or not because of their history #and kudou's 2 seconds away from grabbing him by the shirt (?) and telling him to confess already #for their (the vestiges) sakes #bnha #bnha manga spoilers #kudoichi #bakudeku #mettys posts #metty posts #bnha spoilers #kudou #izuku midoriya

I need to watch Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure to reach my final conclusion on if she's even attracted to men

#girl help i keep thinking about sharpay and ryan being each others only friend growing up #theyre not very good at interpersonal relationships #romance is foreign to them. they dont care about playing romantic interests because they only view romance through the lens of theatre #fake. not real. an act to entertain an audience. so they dont understand why it would be weird #neither of them have ever kissed anyone #sharpay likes things that make her look better #because her whole life is a performance #so she wants troy because hes a shiny accessory to her #thinking about hsm 2 where once again when she tries to perform a romantic song (with troy this time and not her brother) #she still barely fucking looks at him #all of her attention is on the (nonexistent) audience #and ryan. ryan hm #ryan usually performs alongside sharpay #its usually an in universe performance. theyre on a stage. theres an audience #and all of his attention is on pleasing that audience #an exception to this is during the gay baseball song #where theres a different kind of audience BUT #ryan barely looks at them #most of his attention is directed solely to chad #talking flirting teasing being cocky and annoying but clearly addressing him directly through most of the song #first time this has happened with ryan. take that as you will #ANYWAY i can see sharpay as completely uninterested in romance but she hasnt realized that about herself #and she THINKS she wants it. because she sees it as glamorous #or maybe shes a lesbian i dont know #she might be a lesbian #the deciding factor is sharpays fabulous adventure #if she has chemistry with the guy in that movie then shes just repressed and clueless #if she doesnt shes aro #or possibly lesbian

hi, sorry if you're not the right person to ask about this but i've heard that there's a cutscene in camp where gale is looking at a copy of himself and then talks to you about the symptoms of ceremorphosis. i also read that you can only get this, as well as a couple of other scenes with different characters, if you haven't visited the grove yet. but i'm at the beginning of a second playthrough and am right at the point where i should be about to visit the grove, and i've never seen this gale scene even though i always keep him in my party and talk to him frequently, and do a lot of long rests so i don't miss anything. do you know if there's anything specific that needs to be done to get it to trigger, or if it's bugged in some way?

don't be sorry and yes, i can help you.

here's a quick guide on how i personally manage to reliably get all of gale's act 1 scenes (i did one for early access that still contained the deer stew scene and loss scene, which still applies overall):

1. first conversation at camp (camp scene) - recruit gale  - go to camp and do the first talk ("go to hell" convo) -> be sure to have your character selected before resting, if you accidentally selected gale or a different character before resting, the conversation sometimes will not not trigger (bug since ea) - you can also do his player-intiated conversation at this point ("are you versed in magic" convo) - rest

2. mirror image scene (camp scene)  - go to recruit lae -> it doesn’t actually matter if you recruit her or not, if you save the tieflings or fight them - go to the grove and do the fight between the goblins and aradin’s party and the tieflings - talk with zevlor and aradin -> again, it doesn’t matter if you fail any checks or what you do, it’s more about the steps than what options you pick - talk with zevlor and accept to help or not - after this rest and you should get the mirror image scene 

 3. magical artefacts convo (happens while travelling) -> approval depedent to this point/convo where gale reveals his needs for magical artefacts - save sazza, the goblin prisoner at the druid grove, by stepping in front of the crossbow (gale approves a lot here) and do gale’s ! convo -you can further net approval by picking supportive dialogue options here  4. weave scene (camp scene) - help guex, the tiefling who doesn’t know how to fight, at the grove - go and talk to arabella’s parents -> you can accept to help them or not because, again, this is more about the steps rather than any particular option - trigger kagha and arabella’s scene -> it does not matter whether you manage to save her or not -if you DO save her tho, it'll give you approval and you get an extra ! convo with gale -> the one if you failed or stood by to watch were cut and are unavailable in the full release of the game - talk to arabella’s parents again to complete the quest (komira's locket can be given to gale later during his arcane hunger convos) - if you rest, you should get the weave scene -> if not, try to see if your approval is too high or too low. you can get the weave scene either on high or very high. if you are too high you can attack gale (he disapproves) and you should loose approval with him. -> also important: you can explore the ruins or another area than the grove and do a smaller quest in a different sector of the map (save mirkon, explore the ruins, explore the owlbear cave for example) if the weave scene hasn’t triggered. the weave scene should trigger in cave and forest areas. - if you’ve triggered the weave scene, you are free to explore the game as you see fit

5. tiefling party (camp convo) -eliminate all goblin leads, talk to gale at the party

general -arcane hunger convos (happens while travelling): reliably trigger for me while travelling, especially when you cross certain trigger points at the emerald grove (entrance), defiled temple (entrance), blighted village/moonhaven (approach from either entry point, ethel's hideout -be careful to not recruit any other companion yet, other than perhaps lae and exhaust her dialogue -> gale has very low overall priority and other companions will usually overwrite his interjections & dialogue

i hope this was helpful to you! 🖤

I'm extremely divided with my opinion on Hades II. On the one hand, I'm one of the 7 people that played Pyre and really, REALLY loved it, so when they announced the first Hades and returned to the Bastion/Transistor-like gamepla it felt like a letdown. And Then they announced Hades II and i was, uh. Not very excited, because even if i really loved Hades, it was still more of the same ol formula.

on the other hand they just did a livestream showing the test version of Hades II and it looks incredibly beautiful, the gameplay seems entertaining as Hell and it FUCKS SEVERELY and I love what little we've seen of Hecate and Melinoë, so. I never said I wasn't a hypocrite

#mucho texto #<new textpost tag #unfortunately for me supergiant games is my favorite game developer since forever so im very biased #and to be fair to them they're really really really good at what they do so. #hades game #hades 2 #(HADES 2 SPOILERS MAYBE?) i love that hecate acts like a mom to Melinoë. thats her mom........ #hecate is also very mommy. sorry. #Anyways you should play Pyre. Game of all time. To me.

people are so desperate for a queer jason they can project upon but they ignore the only real interpretation that still fits the themes of the show (transfem jason)

#i still think it’s best not to speculate on Jason’s sexuality because part of the point of act 1 is that jason doesn’t need to know yet #but i think its smth she’d maybe realise after act 2 #with all the emphasis on growing up and becoming a man but also ‘singing your own song’ #and the ‘kid be my son’ and ‘a man kid you’ll be if nothing goes wrong’ idk #because maybe she’s not #falsettos
