She’s a 10, but all she ever talk about is Lego Ninjago lore.

When there’s no ugly makeup used for the Creature, nor does the actor portraying him attempt to have any uncanny body language but they still talk about how hideous he is 😞

#he looks like just a dude and has the voice of an angel you’re asking for a lot if I’m to suspend my disbelief with this #this is from the Frankenstein ‘epic romantic musical’ on vimeo #it’s interesting #all of the singers have truly incredibly beautiful voices #ESPECIALLY the monster if I heard him irl I’d submit all my earthly possessions to him in an instant #but I’m not sure if I enjoy the writing in this adaptation

I actually think it’s a huge disservice to dndads that it’s looped in NaDDPOD, Dimension 20, etc. As someone who came from those, they are barely in the same category? And if you come from those fandoms expecting more of that, you’re going to be disappointed.

The only thing they share is the fact they’re ‘dnd shows’. NaDDPOD/D20 incorporate the medium of d&d really strongly to tell a story in a world they built, while also just being funny people while they play. The priority is the story- but they know the comedy will come from the players throughout.

Dndads is ABOUT the comedy. The story is there to provide moments for the comedy. Dndads doesn’t NEED to be played in d&d- that’s just the system that they chose to add variety and chance into their improv show. Dndads gains story from improvisation that then forms the world around them. It’s about prompts to make jokes off of. Collaborating with things like Hey Riddle Riddle makes a lot of sense in that aspect. Dndads takes advantage of the podcast format in a way many of the others don’t as well.

I love all of these series, but they suffer from the same problem I find in things like anime- where the medium is viewed as a genre. ‘D&D actual play show’ is the MEDIUM they use to tell their stories, but they are all different genres with incredibly different settings, vibes, etc.

#so much of the story in dndads comes from jokes that become canon #idk I’m thinking #this isn’t related to my past posts bc I don’t care if u dislike the last episode I promise #I have dndads eps I don’t get or I skip #this is more smth I discussed with my bf #as someone who loves these series #and came from the NaDDPOD fandom #after the d20 fandom #it’s interesting #dndads #dungeons and daddies

p4d posting, it’s like actually insane the degree to which yu likes yosuke. ‘liking their friends’ is pretty typical protagonist behaviour, and it’s super clear here that yu really likes his friends, but even still damn when it comes to yosuke it’s a different level. the framing of “yosuke and the others”, the way he genuinely sympathizes with yosuke’s self-inflicted plight, and of course the reciprocation of “partner”…yu’s thoughts just kinda drip with sincerity towards him. it’s cute

mini compilation vv

#traits of p4d yu i’ve noticed so far: likes his friends. wants to be as helpful as possible. thinks a lot #often isn’t sure of the correct course of action in social situations #knows his friends well enough to predict their reactions and tailors his actions to make them as happy as possible #he like really really likes his friends. like a lot a lot #deep want for their approval. and for their happiness and safety #the sheer amount of smiles thinking about them all is crazy #like truly i cannot overstate how much he likes his friends #rambles #it’s interesting #almost doglike in his devotion

In Jimmy’s episode today (s2 e32), Lizzie saying that it’s Jimmy’s own fault that he died and lost his things, and him saying “No, I don’t think it is,” [7:40] says everything about empires!Jimmy that I think I could ever say. Like, he was trying to steal from her, and got caught in a trap that, if he wasn’t doing wrong, he wouldn’t have encountered at all. And he’s trying to blame her for it— calling her the villain, after she just tried to catch a thief? In what world is she the villain? And yet he convinces himself that she must be in the wrong, because surely it can’t be him, ever. It’s never his own fault. Even when it so clearly is.

And it’s always been this way. Just recently, in Sausage’s episode 41, we see Jimmy kill Sausage, and then, when confronted by fWhip and Sausage, Jimmy denies the accusations, insisting he’s being set up, to the point that, as he leaves the conversation, he says “you do what you gotta do, but I don’t think I’m the bad guy here,” [18:18], as if he’s somehow convinced himself that he didn’t kill Sausage, because surely he can’t ever be in the wrong, no. That’s impossible. He’s being set up. He’s not the bad guy.

And all this is Not to say that I don’t like empires!Jimmy by the way. He’s Such a guy to me, I’m enamored by him. But, good lord. He’s so much.

#empires smp #solidaritygaming #umbrify talks #i love empires Jimmy but he is such a terrible person and I think we should talk abt that more #it’s interesting

thinking about how yellowjackets portrays sex & sexual situations gender & the… not unique but certainly rare way this show focuses on men versus women & I know we’re all tired of phrases like “male gaze” & “female gaze” but I think the show almost like… purposefully repurposes the male gaze from the perspective of its female characters.

jackie’s introduction pretty much is a sexual situation but it’s not a fun hot scene. it’s uncomfortable & awkward because it’s very clear jackie isn’t being pleasured. jeff just kind of looks like a tool. then later we get the sex scene between jeff & shauna & it’s different because both characters are into it but also it’s all about shauna, & the focus is mainly on her making jeff tell her that he loves her. it sort of reminds me of the scene in buffy the vampire slayer when buffy is feeling down because she just saw her most annoying ex living his best life so she demands spike tell her he loves her. it’s not a healthy situation. it’s… concerning & toxic. and even a bit manipulative & predatory to use someone that way.

and the other thing we know due to the focused shots of shauna looking at jackie is that this is not about jeff at all. he’s just the guy who happened to be between these two girls. when I first watched the show I disliked him but more & more I’m realizing… this is all about shauna & jackie. this entire relationship between shauna & jeff that turns into a marriage never has much to do with jeff himself at all. jeff is the epitome of literally just Some Guy.

anyway. I’m getting off track. I wanted to discuss jackie’s introduction versus her death. jackie being left to die because she had sex, on the surface seems like misogynistic writing. typical “female character is punished for sex” (not to harp on buffy again but..) trope. especially because the other girls are angry when they see the blood stain from her lost virginity.

but… the other girls aren’t angry at jackie because of sex. it’s because she’s “taken what didn’t belong to her.” & it’s interesting how none of the other girls care about or are invested in natalie & travis’ romance until this point. because it’s not about that. they objectify travis to the point of seeing him as literal food.

the framing of the jackie/travis sex scene is fascinating, the way it’s shot back & forth with the girls in the forest going feral. and the way in the end, travis is disoriented & confused & immediately following this the other girls begin sexual assaulting him & hunting him like an animal. like everything about travis & his arc, it’s such a subversion of the way female characters are so often treated in media.

and that brings me to travis & natalie & how they subvert gender roles. travis starts off seeming a bit sexist but the more we learn the more it’s clear he’s just an inexperienced teenager. he’s a virgin scared for his first time & he’s falling for the experienced bad girl who’s kinda scary. we literally always see that set up but with the shy inexperienced girl falling for the bad boy. even the way travis haunts the narrative & serves as part of natalie’s pain arc is reminiscent of the dead girlfriend trope. he is to natalie as jess from supernatural is to sam winchester. he’s fridged but the boy version. & that’s why he’s a babygirl to me <3

and like… we could talk all day about the pine cone in travis’ mouth & the sexual assault blood orgy scenes but let’s move on to the most functional couple of the entire show with some of the only sex scenes that actually seem like a fun sexy time where it’s just two people in love having sex

taissa & van! their conflict develops throughout the season as van is almost eaten by wolves because taissa is busy being possessed by the wood spirit & taissa’s frustration with van’s belief in something supernatural grows but… beyond that? they’re actually just super into each other. they are constantly talking about how gorgeous the other is, being all over each other, skinny dipping & doing more typically fun & romantic activities than all the other characters. & it’s 2 women

from shauna having sex with adam who ends up dead to whatever the fuck misty has going on with ben (not to mention adult! misty’s introductory scene where she manipulates a man into coming home with her by faking insecurities - or perhaps playing them up & using them, it’s unclear) it’s just totally fascinating to me the way this show subverts expectations with gender & sex

I only got to play Deracine once because I don’t own a VR set, but I remember one of my favorite things was seeing the character Yuliya (same name as Yuria/Yurie), because she looks like The Doll, but also how I picture young Maria.

The boarding school vibe is very Byrgenwerth-ish too. I love this game.

#young maria at byrgenwerth maybe? #i almost wonder if yurie was a yuliya cameo in bloodborne sometimes tho #it’s interesting #deracine #bloodborne #plain doll #lady maria #yuliya

Also this is one of the planet things mentioned in the video, and I don’t think I need to tell you that it reminds me of the Strawberry Jam Sword, with its red and black lightning

So is whatever this update is going to reveal that the Strawberry Jam Sword came from space, and is possibly a space parasite, perhaps similar to the way the symbiotes are in Marvel?

I mean that’d be cool, don’t get me wrong, and we’d finally have an answer about the SJS, at least in Ovenbreak since I don’t know if Kingdom would plan to follow that continuity, but I can’t deny it being from space feels like quite the left turn. It’d still be cool though, and I’m waiting for whatever this update is

I don’t quite know how to say this, but Dan Howell has a really weird talent for saying things and moving in such a way that sticks in my brain. Like I’ll have to rewind the video just to process what he did. And then it will replay in my head for the next several hours.

This is a prime example

#it’s kind of like echolalia but not really at the same time #does this make sense #I think that it helps that he’s British #like I’m American and British accents are way outside my normal reality #so he’ll just say something and I’ll be like ‘interesting’ #and his little noises and how fast his face changes #and he’s loud #he demands attention #it’s interesting #Phil’s kind of the same way but less so #dan howell

knowing just a little of what mike’s been through makes the “you called maybe a couple times. it’s been a year, mike.” so funny like they thought the other one was living their best life after being separated and didn’t bother keeping in touch when actually both of them have been incredibly MISERABLE ever since the byers moved

#something something the lies in el’s letter #i don’t think they explicitly told each other Hey im doing Good without You! #but they both got that message #it’s interesting #byler

Intention is everything

#an old friend requested me on lapse #she had blocked me before so it’s curious to me #I had felt in the past her intentions were a bit weird with me and I couldn’t read her #was her intention to be nosy and see what I’m up to #or was she genuinely wanting to reconnect #it’s interesting #I’ve since deleted my account from there so we’ll never know

I am so deeply fascinated by mundanity in superhero media

Not in a “comic books need to be more rEaLIstIc” way, but in a “I wonder what true crime podcasts look like in DCU America” type way

#there’s GOTTA be a BuzzFeed Unsolved episode about the Wayne Murders #and the identity of Batman #also ghost tours/ghost hunting shows and disaster tourism must be wild #and just…superheroes interacting with people; with society #it’s INTERESTING #my stuff #marvel #marvel comics #dc #dc comics
