I genuinely don't believe that in the long term bal stays together or if they do it won't be a happy relationship. It takes more then love to make a relationship work. It takes communication and compromise.
We've seen before they have issues communicating before it becomes a blow up issue and a fight. I don't blame them for these problems. Ben is too trusting and not understanding that just cause he's used to something doesn't mean others are and Mal has never had to accurately communicate her problems to people, while also not understanding that somethings are even issues.
While I can see Ben trying to overcome some of these problems, I can't see Mal actually taking the time to deconstruct what happened on the Isle and all the ways her childhood was messed up. I also don't see Ben doing the samething because being raised to be a king and then becoming so at SIXTEEN is also traumatizing, but that's normalized for him.

Yk I'm always thinking about Buck Actually and the talk Buck has with Thomas and the whole "you don't find it, son, you make it" and the way Buck looked at Thomas dying right after Mitchell holding his hand and the way some part of Buck looked at them and connected love with death and now keeps trying to make something to the point that it would kill him. He heard that the type of love he wants comes from work and decided he needs wear himself down to get it and it's just devastating.

This isn't something I consciously realized while listening, but now that I've thought of it it seems glaringly obvious. So forgive me if this is old news, but: Part of the reason Doug Eiffel is so insistent on being merciful, on not killing anyone, is because he's hurt people before, badly. He's ruined lives. And he is absolutely determined to never do that again

My redneck neighbor Doug watches 'Bad Territory'
As a few people have quickly surmised, the Bad Batch episode in which they go to Space Swampy Badtimes and punch gators was going to send Doug over the edge with joy. Y'all right!
Tumblr media
So, turn up the CCR to 'Born on the Bayou', and prepare for some of the more unhinged things Doug's texted me.
CW: Little more mild, just excitement. When Doug starts rambling about Cajun food, just click here. He says it's one of the best places for boudin and bbq and they'll even process a deer you found on the highway.
------------------------------------------------------------
Episode 8: “::happy Cajun noises::”
Well we back in Space Daytona, outside the HMS Search Warrant because Daddy Rambo can’t afford a trailer now. Does that thing have air conditioning? 
Tumblr media
Man, Toaster Strudel’s always gone, is he a space trucker now or what.
Oh, man, it’s Church Lady! She don’t seem too upset by Ryan-from-Accounting being somewhere else, fighting the Space Balrog. But we know why she’s not sad. 
Tumblr media
(Does this involve Mayday?
"Who?"
Sassy Park Ranger?
"Hell yeah it does! He’s her beau."
What about Ryan-from-Accounting?
"I done told you once I tell you again RYAN-FROM-ACCOUNTING DIDN’T DESERVE THAT SMART INDEPENDENT WOMAN NONE!")
Maybe Daddy Warcrimes will hang out with Church Lady and she can double dip with him and Sassy Park Ranger. It’s Thanksgiving, dark meat and white meat are on the plate.
(WTF?!)
Well you know why Church Lady’s the Church Lady? She’s been talking to other church folks and if there’s one person who knows how to get info on people it’s the church ladies. Seriously, how do you think they organize EVERYTHING and know EVERYONE. You think they go to church for Jesus that’s a bald lie up in here. 
So Julio fires up the stolen work truck and he and Daddy Rambo are off. 
Wait, if that’s their home, where Little Orphan Blondie and Daddy Warcrimes sleeping? The beach? Come on now. 
Aw, shit, man, is that THOTH STATION?! Meat Muffin, these show people reading your white trash love story book and made it into reality! They owe you MONEY GIRL! Think they’ll meet Fred Johnson or Anderson Dawes?!
And look it’s CAMINA DRUMMER! 
Tumblr media
Oh wait no that’s that Chick-that’s-in-Everything! Looks like she’s doing business with the guy Han Solo shot in the club. Think she’s selling him Columbian nose candy? 
Well she’s drinking a whole thing of pinot, don’t blame her, I’d be drinking if Daddy Rambo was up in my club whining for names. Go on the Facebook, Daddy Rambo, it’d be easier.
They’re off somewhere else to help the Chick-that’s-in-Everything. OH MY SWEET TITS OF CHRIST THEY IN LOUISIANA AGAIN! IT’S AN OIL REFINERY! No one can breath! They got a PONTOON! Everything’s orange and sticky!
Tumblr media
Oh look at them out in them stinky bayous of Terrebonne Parish! Man did they film this entire season in my home state like it’s the first season of True Detective now I wonder. Man that was a good show. 
Aw man, mines in the water! It IS TERREBONNE PARISH! “He won’t expect us,” damn right he won’t. The Chick-Thats-In-Everything sure knows her shit. She’s a redneck hunter and the lady’s got grit. I wonder if she’s caught Steven Segal. 
There better be OH MAN IT IS! 
SPACE GATORS!!!!!
YEAH! PUNCH EM JULIO! SHOOT EM CHICK-THAT’S-IN-EVERYTHING! OH DADDY RAMBO GOT CAUGHT BUT JULIO PUNCHED IT TOO! PUNCHING GATORS AND THROWING KNIVES AND SHOOTING GUNS IN THE BAYOU, MEAT MUFFIN I LOVE THIS DAMN SHOW!!!!!
The only bad thing about this is now I need to go back to Thibodaux to Bourgeois and get some crawfish boudin, maybe some cracklings, some hogshead cheese too. 
Daddy Warcrimes is doing that thing where you sit around and breathe. Jenny tells me to do that. I’m like woman I do that every damn day at work what’s the difference now. 
Tumblr media
They’re at the place–it’s a shack in the woods surrounded by home made bombs and the owner’s armed to the teeth?! MEAT MUFFIN THEY GONE DONE AND FILMED IT AT MY COUSIN CLAYTON'S HOUSE IN TERREBONNE PARISH NOW!!!!
Oh man it ain’t my cousin Clayton whose been weird since he got out of Angola,  now they’re hunting Jeff Goldblum from The Fly! Except now he’s a mantis! Hate those things. Jenny set one on fire after she caught it snapping at one of her hummingbirds. That woman, man, you don’t mess with her garden, she’ll take out the hairspray and a lighter and make a torch out of it. Love her. Married two dozen years now.*
Oh! Jeff Goldblum is trying to escape–but the Chick-That’s-In-Everything knows her shit and cuts her own wire to the pontoon! Maybe she IS Camina Drummer after all. 
Oh, man, they done got that mantis son of a bitch. Now, back to Thoth Station, and of course, the Chick-That’s-in-Everything ain’t coughing up a dime. Just flings Daddy Rambo right off her ship. 
Oh, man, who is she calling? 
I hope it’s not Gun-Safety-Muppet, I hate that blue bastard. 
*= Jenny is a delight and really does flip from ‘Sweetie, you need to meditate’ to ‘I will set bugs on fire for threatening my birds’. She’s the one who taught Jimmers to corner and kill everything in their yard.
@skellymom @cdblake1565 @sued134 @amalthiaph @yeehawgeek @merkitty49 @eyecandyeoz @isthereanechoinhere96 who else loves Redneck Doug?
If you want to be added, please let me know!
PS- I have his ramblings from the last two episodes, but they were not nearly as deranged as this.

I never request so this is so abnormal but you said you do Matt stone fics, and I adore him so I may aswell. It could either be Matt stone or doug remer I don’t know if you write for doug 🫶.
Just pls like, getting high asf with him, as friends or a relationship, again Idc, but he’s maybe never seen you smoke, he learns that you can perfectly roll and smoke and it’s all just so attractive and tense. Idk rambling ‼️💗
omg yes this is so good!!!
tags: weed, friends to lovers, fluff, neighbor to friend, pre!baseketball, doug remer x reader, no use of y/n, kissing
hope you enjoy! lower case intended
-★★★★★★★★-
you had just moved to a new neighborhood, somewhere far away from your old living situation. you had yet to make any friends so when a neighbor invited you over to his house to hang out you immediately said yes.
you had met him briefly and you always heard him playing basketball in his driveway with friends. thats what he was doing right now, you were about to go over there to sit with them. you headed out the front door, crossing your driveway and into his.
"oh hey, coop, this is the girl i was telling you about" he said as he pointed to you. you gave a small smile and wave to the guy standing on the side.
coop said hello, telling you how nice it is to meet you, holding on to your hand for a second too long. you went and sat down in a chair on the side of the driveway. coop and doug stopped playing, now talking to you and each other.
"hey uh- do you smoke?" doug asked you, pulling a small bag of weed out of his jean pocket. before you could answer your other neighbor, coop, got a phone call and excused himself. you turned back to doug nodding and silently asking him to pass you the bag and papers he had in his pocket.
you took the loose pre-grinded weed and put it on the paper between you index and thumb. you rolled to blunt before bringing it to your lips and licking the paper. you could feel doug staring at you and his breath had become slightly ragged. you finished and turned you head to him, he immediately looked away trying not to get caught. you smiled to yourself before passing the joint to doug.
he looked at you like you were a god, gracing him with your presence. he brought the bud to his lips, also pulling out a lighter and lighting it. he took a puff before passing it to you, then turning his head and exhaling. you put the blunt up to your lips and drew in smoke. he just stared at you the whole time, just entrapped in your beauty.
before you could blow out the smoke he spoke up. "wait, shotgun?" you playfully rolled your eyes. as you leaned in you put your hand on his cheek, exhaling the smoke. as you backed up you looked into his eyes, he sat forward connecting his lips to yours. he wrapped his lips around your bottom lip, slightly sucking.
you ran your hand through his curls, pulling him even closer. he then snuck his tounge into your mouth, massaging your tongue with his. you could feel his scattered breath against your face, you pulled away.
"uh- would you like to go out with me sometime?" he asked, warily. "yea id like that." you said still inches from his face just as you said that coop returned and doug jumped up, running to his friend.
" DUDE, she said yes!" doug said obviously happy. "holy shit, nice bro!" coop said. you just laughed to yourself, watching them made you smile. you could tell you were going to enjoy living here.
----
omg this took forever but i really liked writing it, and i hope that you enjoyed it too.

no thoughts but thinking abt izzy being good with children
imagine mary and doug(? i think thats his name) go on vacation and need someone to take care of the kids and stede decides to watch them for a few weeks and bond and intoduce them to ed and finally get the family together.
what no one expected was for them to immediately latch on to izzy and even more surprising: izzy doesnt mind. in fact he having fun teaching them sword fighting and taking care of the ship. whenever someone asks abt why hes so soft with kids but literally feral with them he just shrugs and says "maybe theyll end up better pirates then you lot"
alma and him esp get along well due to izzy not caring if shes a girl and teaches her the same as he would teach a dude. stede (who cmon yall he would probably have a bit of misogyny raised into him) is a bit upset at this and tries to get alma to participate in more "girly" things like books and drawing but alma is taking none of his shit. to make matters better (worst for stede) alma gets izzy to chop her hair into a nice shag.
louis(? also not sure thats his name) and izzy get along in different ways due to him being younger. the crew watches in amazement as izzy recounts all of his adventures (with less gore then what actually happened but no one needs to know) dramatically to louis. stede tries to get louis to listen to some of his stories but louis says that izzy knows how to do voices. also to stedes despair (and izzys delight) louis picks up on a variety of curse words and makes sure to use them in every other sentence.
the crew ofc is completely baffled but not complaining bc when the kids are around he is significantly less mean.
when ed is asked abt it he just laughs and doesnt elaborate
stede thinks its a plot to get to back on him for beating him in that duel but is mostly just sad his kids like izzy better. also a bit terrified because he has to give the newfound child pirates back to their mother and mary is going to skin him alive when she sees almas hair.

hey! for the fic ask game: 3, 5 (for the wolf 359 daemon au), 8, 38 and 42?
3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?
somebody being a least a little bit nonhuman <3 but more broadly i really like writing about human/animal dynamics, both in the nonhuman sense obviously, but also even in my daemon aus--what do humans say about animals? how much is true and how much is just something humans have put onto the animal, rather than what the animal is?
i also think i write a lot about grief, and the ways grief and trauma both can manifest in ways seen as 'unpalatable.' how youre supposed to survive these sorts of things, and how a lot of times the answer is that maybe things dont get better, but they do get different. ie i have a lot of bittersweet endings and i dont think that'll ever change.
5. What do you wish someone would ask you about [insert fic]? Answer it now!
oooh ive always hoped somebody would ask what the hell doug-nix and miranda-alphaeus would get up to after the epilogues, 'cause this never got in there (i dont think at least), but i've always had it in mind that they move out eventually! get a place of their own, which would leave minkowski, hera, jacobi, and sometimes lovelace whenever she stops by living together.
i just feel like. miranda and doug are outsiders to that crew, yeah? neither of them remember the people they once were, so. might as well try making something new and better together.
8. What song would make a great fic (to either write or read)?
this one is particularly topical 'cause a song is actually the inspiration for the current fic i'm writing! grand canyon by the wind and the wave. literally such a frisk and chara song, ALSO a really good roadtrip song, so ive meshed those together and now im working on a post-pacifist chara&frisk centric roadtrip fic! coming out....idk. may probably.
i also think twelve feet deep by the front bottoms could make a real fun onesided dessriel fic. something about 'i get left out of every plan they make / that is what i have to do / to be the only kid from highschool who is still in love with you' REALLY gets to me.
38. Did any of your fics get surprisingly popular (whatever that means to you)? Which ones? Why do you think they were so successful?
i think the one that surprised me the most was garden of earthly delights, which was my madoka magica daemon au. seeing as its been Forever since anything madoka has come out (plus daemon aus are Not popular anymore lol), i didnt know there was still an active fandom there, but there WAS, and all my commenters were amazing and lovely and it was so fun seeing everyone trying to uncover the mystery in real time!!! if i had to guess WHY it got popular, i think i'd guess it was the aspect of mystery...something to keep people coming back and commenting!
42. Have you ever received a comment that particularly stood out to you for whatever reason?
the comments that always stick with me the most are the people who come to tell me that it was my fics (usually either i know im not well or alterhuman) that either helped them feel SEEN as otherkin/therian, or helped them discover that this was a thing they even could be. i think thats been one of the most rewarding things about sharing those stories. theres not a whole lot out there in the ao3 otherkin tag, yknow? and it makes me so happy to know i've been able to help people.

I think at the end of the show during what I like to call Eiffel’s last meal. Eiffel and Lovelace I think they break into Cutter’s ship??? (Could have been the ship offered to them) and just devouring all his like Gordon Ramsay top shelf food. 
I hope Eiffel told Lovelace about the letters he found from her crew mate. I think he would have remembered the name from the hole box 953 BY THE MOTHER FUCKING WAY THATS 359 BACKWARDS JUST FOUND THAT OUT WHILE WRITING THIS WTFFF!!!!!! But I think he would have recognize the name because that was so traumatic for him and if she brought up the name (if she ever did, she was rightfully pretty closed off about talking about her past crew) I hope he would have told her about them it was alway on the back of my mind.
ORRR maybe he forgot because yk Eiffel and his pee wee rat brain, and she found it out when Doug was listening throw Eiffel’s early logs. 🤔🤔🤔
Thoughtssss???

hey sorry if this is weird but this is @chip-and-the-bastards (it's a sideblog so I can't ask with it) and since we're up against each other for the jrwi au showdown I wanted to ask about Blood in the Deadwood‼️ it seems like a cool au but tumblr search function isn't showing me if you have anything for it on this blog! So here take this as an opportunity to ramble about it and also maybe give some propaganda!
anyway feel free to ignore if you don't wanna aha :]
Oh HELLL YEAHHHHHH!!!!!
well first of all @tobeywobey was also very involved in making it so make sure you also give them creds ! ! He worked on a LOT of the lore so i really wanna give them proper creds lol. Also the search didnt work because both toby and I haven't post much of anything publicly about it LMAO
BASICALLY its the prime defenders characters but in a kind of Galloway/Deadwood hybrid place if that makes sense. Each character fills the role of another character(s) in blood in the bayou (for example cantrip basically plays the role of Becky in this au.) its pretty cannon compliant to the events of blood in the bayou, except for a few changes, like things happening for different reasons and events being changed. Also there is no superpowers in this au :)
the thing Toby and I changed most was probably the events leading up to the main three going back to deadwood. In this AU Dakota is the one that knows Ashe the best, Will and Vynce are less acquainted with her. This is because she fills the role of Rachel so we wanted it to closer match the relationship that Kian and Rolan had with her when they were younger. so basically Dakota introduces Ashe to the other two a couple years before the events of this AU take place in deadwood, and they all eventually leave for w own reasons. Will dies like in PD canon, is resurrected as a bug sorta like how Rolan is, except he knows that he's a bug and keeps it secret. Ashe goes missing suddenly and Mark immediately starts investigating. The boys talk to mark about any leads or information, and it all leads to Deadwood. Also somewhere along there Williams "parents" die. Some more noatable things that happen in these few years is that vynce and cantrip have a relationship thats more like a situationship, and the three of them start a dnd campaign but never finish it.
They all go to Deadwood Because of Ashe's disappearance but vynce and will also have other reasons. Vynce really wants to finish this fuckin dnd campaign, and will felt the most obligated to go because he's part of the hive (and also his parents funeral was happening there anyways.) Will is also the one that is the most hesitant to go in the first place.
Then the BITB cannon stuff happens! They greet Doug (who plays the role of rat in this AU,) go to quickstop, see The Horrors, all that stuff. They obviously react in different ways and do different things than the BITB pcs, but it all still leads to them going to points of interest and having the big events happen to them the same. One notable change is that Will sees doug in the alley, pasteified, but is really curious about what actually happened to him instead of being horrified of the human sludge (Will is so fucking insane in this au.) Another is that will convinces Dakota that they need to leave (like how kian does) but while they are driving away will and dakota get into an argument wich leads to dakota grabbing the wheel from him and they end up swerving into the membrane wall.
Unfortunately thats where we stopped writing stuff down lmao so for the propaganda section of this ramble i will be taking from the character info toby wrote
-PROPAGANDA TIME-
Vyncent is a huge fantasy nerd and he has those hot topic elf ear cuffs. Half of his character motivation is wanting to finish that godamn dnd game!!!
William wisp is 10x more insane
wiwi carries a shotgun around locked and loaded from the very beginning
vynce gets some cool buggy limbs :)
Ashe is trans mtf and in the notes we referred to getting bugged as "contracting malaria" so we called her "our malaria girlfriend" and now in my head ashe will always be my favorite malaria girlfriend ❤️
Mark kind of plays the role of John Rand and he is also in love with that stupid caveman show
Mark and tide have a perry and doofenshmirtz dynamic. They both have radically different theories on what is happening to the town and argue constantly, but when they aren't being crazy people they get along
Tide fills the role of Mr. Dickman and he has a secret bunker chalk full of beef stroganoff. He also has a huge fucking blackboard where he writes all his theories (he just has "MALARIA" written down in all caps)
Tide has a little bit of a crazy old guy reputation in town
Cantrip gets fucking shot by William because of a one sided rivalry wiwi has had since middle school
LE FROG IS OFFICER DUDES‼️‼️
This concludes the ramblings, i wish everyone happy voting and good luck in the au torment!!! :D

theres been a lot of talk about cinemasins again lately and idk how i feel cause on one hand its definitely untrue when people act like they invented this nitpick, shallow plot-hole-ding style of movie criticism and maybe they get way too much shit for that, but on the other hand they are just so very annoying & obviously wrong and therefore easy to use as scapegoats
#also 'cinemasins style' is a perfect name for this time of commentary#avpost#idk its definitely not true that they invented this type of content#because even just specifically on youtube doug walker has been aroun since 2008 or so.#even then idk if you can say that these youtubers created or popularized this nonsense or if its just always been an issue#and they just made shows out of it. i mean maybe its always been widespread and thats how they got popular in the first place#i dont know because im too young to weigh in on that. i was not around for a world of film criticism pre youtube.#but also i feel like theyre definitely promoting this lazy shallow content as 'deep and So Smart' to their fanbases which is worth debunkin#debunking**#plus like i said theyre just so easy to target because its literally so easy to refute a cinemasins video if you just turn ur brain on#im also just not sure how to go about talking abt this type of content in general cause on one hand it annoys me so so so much#but also idk im not immune to liking stuff like this. ill watch a bad movies and a beat. ill watch a kurtis conner#but even then for me when i go in the top comments and everyones acting like this is serious and intellectual criticism#or when those creators try to discuss a serious film in the same way and its just a complete failure#its still kind of annoying. its hard for me to parse what makes it work and what makes it fail.#i guess just you have to be funny and cant take yourself too seriously as soon as you take yourself too seriously it all falls apart

Hei
Cos u seem to be the expert on the topic:
What kind of movie is “Pans Labyrinth”?
Does it go into horror? How gory? Jump scares? How much storyline? More mystic?
I’ve mostly seen snippets with all the creatures of Doug Jones and I want to see more of them
Idk if any of this makes sense to u. I’m just trying to figure out what I have to expect from this film and if that’s something I want to watch with myself or with family
As always: I love ur blog! And have a great weekend with the most delicious food!
Hej Hej
Wow what questions!! And I am no expert but thank you and I’m gonna do my best to answer 🫠
I wouldn’t say Pan’s is a horror movie. More dark fantasy. BUT its also a war movie (yes with guns and brutality) which I think a lot of ppl forget only seeing snippets like you said of Doug Jones being awesome (but the Spanish civil war was fkd up)
It doesn’t have any jump scares, it’s not gory and as with most GDT movies the monsters or creatures aren’t really the villans, the villains are human.
If you are going to watch it with the family just know the movie is in Spanish and if thats not your language, y’all are going to be reading subtitles. I write that because I’ve known ppl who don’t like to read watching a movie 🤷🏻‍♀️😔
To me Pan’s is a beautiful movie and I won’t spoil it with my interpretation. You’ll just have to see it for yourself, maybe come back and we’ll talk again ✌🏻

June 2023 Brawl Talk
Tumblr media
OH FUCK DANI IS IN THE BACKROOMS!!!!!!
more below the cut!
Tumblr media
the new brawler this season is Cordelius, a, um..... mushroom, guy...? they say he was a gardener in starr park, but the toxicity of the place drove him mad; now he's stuck there. oh shit thats LORE!!!!!! nothing we didnt already know but wow!!!!
most of his kit isnt a whole lot; his main attack seems a little on the weaker end, but he is very fast to make up for that. on top of that, his super transports himself and whomever he hits to another dimension where they fight... TO THE DEATH!!! however, the odds are most definitely in his favor, as he gains a speed(!) and reload speed boost while his opponent can't use any gadgets or supers.
there's also spore mind cordelius, the tier 70 brawl pass skin, but frankly i dont care about it. blah blah blah another evil tier 70 brawl pass skin. this is like the third one we've gotten so far, right?
Tumblr media
this skin (haunted house 8-bit) sucks dookey im not talking about it.
Tumblr media
STONE TROLL LOU IS AWESOME THOUGH!!!! but its the power league skin *among us sound effect*
Tumblr media
i actually quite like wood spirit chester. the face reminds me of el muneco from guacamelee 2 :) might not go out of my way to get it however.
finally...
Tumblr media
ughhhh i could talk about my gripes with this skin now, but i'll save that for another post. tldr its a fun design but its also a big day for annoying people
there are more skins coming in The Summer of Pirates (keeping to the theme of summer of x) but i dont really care for any of them enough to cover here. which is funny considering griff and surge both got skins for this event.
its time for the best fucking part of this brawl talk though DOUG!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
hes actually so awesome and looks so fun to play mechanically. plus i looooove hot dogs WAIT THATS WHY HES NAMED DOUG BECAUSE. BECAUSE THE THE THE HOT DOG!!!!!!!!!
mechanically he has a range similar to (maybe a little smaller than?) jacky, but with attacks like byron. that is, they both heal and hurt. there's also a bit of a point-blank mechanic in play where the closer everyone is to doug, the more health they gain/lose. i also noticed that the healing and damage arent 1:1, which actually makes me a little peeved since they refuse to do something similar for byron. but its whatever though (-:
moving on, he is the first brawler in the game that is able to revive others and himself! wait what about 8bit with extra life?? ...anyway, his super functions very similarly to gus, but replace the shield with a revive effect. of course, this revive effect doesnt last forever! i noticed that brawlers dont drop their gems if they get revived though, which sounds like he will be really good in gem grab. maybe. idk.
theres also the obligatory recolor skin draco doug. not much to talk about with that though <3
not to mention skin remodels! dark tide carl, iris tara (now stara), smuggler penny, and phoenix crow!!! wow!!! bonnie is also getting some 29 gem skins, unicorn bonnie and footbonnie (LIKE FOOTBALL. GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE GUTTER!!!)
finally, the moment some of you have been waiting for...! ARE! BOXES! RETURNING!!!
NO!!!!!!!!
i audibly cheered when they said that. however the mechanics are coming back in their own unique way. its in a way that i feel is a lot less predatory, so im overall happy with this, er... rework...?
Tumblr media
introducing starr drops! you earn drops through winning matches (any kind of match counts) that can range from rare to legendary, much like the brawlers. you also get four chances to upgrade these drops, but the chances seem very small. drops can give resources, brawlers, pins, sprays, icons, and even skins! small caveat, only skins purchasable with bling that are not limited can be rewarded.
they also go into some stuff about how this is an overall buff to resource gain. i'll take their word for it :)
some extra stuff! payload is back, but the payloads themselves have no collision (basically meaning you can walk/shoot through them now. like hotzone but the zones move). takedown my beloved and wipeout my despised are back in rotation. quests can now be completed with more than one (but not every) brawler. speaking of quests, premium quests can now be progressed, even if you havent purchased the premium brawl pass. this makes it all the more sweet when you purchase the brawl pass after the beginning of the season :D
finally, paula is going to be leaving the brawl stars team. i wish her all the best <3
