#me and the gang chilling

[pestopastaenjoyer]

“Advance takes place before both adventure games!!1!!11” my brother in Christ. If this was supposedly set before sa2 then why would Sonic stay Super in space by himself for DAYS & come back w a solemn expression before smiling at the player to congratulate them for beating the game

#like we never talk abt this as a fandom literally why #this is among one of the more unhinged things he’s done #ik it’s probably that deep but to me it absolutely is #I don’t love the advance games gameplay wise just bcs special stages grrrr but #I like their function in the modern canon bcs it feels like a back to the basics for Sonc n gang #like they’ve just be slapped in the middle of two cataclysmic events the past two mainline console titles let’s give them #a little more chill catastrophe if yk what I mean #sonic the hedgehog #sth #miles prower #tails the fox #amy rose #knuckles the echidna #sonic advance #sa2 #do I tag him #I will actually #shadow the hedgehog #the correct order in my head is sonic 4 ➡️ sa1 ➡️ shuffle ➡️ sa2 ➡️ advance 1/2 ➡️ heroes ➡️ advance 3

I think it's hilarious that Duke Thomas, member & arguably leader of the 'We Are Robin' movement, is definitively and pointedly NOT a Robin.

New day new trip to lovely small towns.

08|08|2023

The amount of pictures of my travels you'll be seening has increased. Today we took a day trip to the lovely town of Dozza, with which I fell in love. The wall painings, the castle and most importantly the dragon in the castle (of which I have not included a picture here sorry you'll see it in another post). It's a lovely small town that truly let me embrace the joy of small things, like being surprised by things I wasn't expecting to see, the loud noise of cicadas, and a full plate of food after walking around for hours. Today I also finished reading Nona The Ninth, which left a void in my heart, because I didn't want it to end. I have picked my next read already, but I haven't started reading it yet.

Chill hobbit summer things of today:

Read first thing in the morning, and finished my book

Visited the town

Got excited about dragons (yes it counts as a point of its own, fight me)

I am really enjoying my meals, which makes me so excited because I have been struggling a lot with anxiety symptoms while eating out, and since this holiday started things have gone very well

Got a new sweatshirt because of necessity more than anything, since it's been very windy and pretty cold at night/in the morning, but it's a very nice shade of dark blue and it's really soft which makes me happy

So, I stumbled upon a video about Adi Shankar today (that's the netflix anime exec and showrunner), and I...now feel much, much more positive about the whole thing!

What I've learned, is that Adi is basically El Donte with Vergil-drank-a-whole-Monster levels of hype&energy&perfectionism in tv series industry. The guy is clinically unhinged and deranged, which I think could fit the DMC anime tone nicely.

He has been making gaming adaptations for a long time now, and his works all come from a genuine love and care for the source material, enhanced with a special Adi TM take on the whole thing. Sadly, I've just learned of his other works, so not exactly best source for this kind of thing, but I got the feeling the guy likes to gore and darken up the source, spice it up with self-irony, and sew everything to skeleton made out of pure-geek love and obsession over the original.

He had a sort of El Donte arc in the industry, as the guy liked to come in shattering doors and expectations of 'normal' executives and investors, but he seems to have matured a little to start combining the best of fan-love and big investor money into amazing and unique works of art. He is most known for working on Castlevania series, but personally the show I learned about (and was sold on to give a watch) is Captain Laserhawk.

Captain Laserhawk is Ubisoft doing a RARE INDEED creative take on their stuff, basically they gave Adi creative freedom over every franchise Ubisoft has ever owed, and a result of that was a.... an adult show which roasts the ever-living hell out of Ubisoft, their practices and everything, with Rayman doing news-anchoring, drugs and then having an existential crisis? Oh, and also for animation he specifically commissioned a studio known for the...furry carnal desire series they uploaded to their own page.

The most bizarre thing is that Adi said he had a Ubi-lawyer follow him to every meeting to confirm that, yes, Ubisoft gave a green light to all of this.

So, uh, yeah gotta give Captain Laserhawk a watch, I wanna see Ubisoft roasted.

Mind you, Captain Laserhawk was Adi given a free-out-of-jail card on going unhinged, so he did not disappoint. His Castlevania show seems to have been loved by all fans, and seems to be much more tone-according to the series, as far as I can tell. At least, I've heard nothing but praise for that series. Also, knowing japanese studios, I think Capcom was keeping a close watch over everything, still, if Adi's previous work is to go by, then this anime is sure going to be

C R R R A Z Y

Adi claimed to have played all the DMC titles, so he knows his source, and I now believe that those manga in the latest anime preview weren't for show either. We also know the father of the series, Hideaki Itsuno, oversaw the anime production to some extent, so I'm sure it's going to tonally fit DMC. I also wouldn't mind a darker take on this series at all. The anime would be the perfect form to do that, too, as DMC is a world where demon incursions are a frequent occurrence, this HAS to affect the people of this setting somehow. The games can't really tap too much into that either, cause the gameplay of this series is 'bully your opponent back into hell' basically, these games are f u n, and you can't really have fun gameplay and a depressing story, the tone clash wouldn't really work.

DMC5 tried, but it is still mostly a very fun experience, the tragedy of the Qlipoth attack is highlighted only in the beginning, and the game even ends with Nero brightly lit and looking around the ruins, which works for him as a character, but the human tragedy that happened has already been forgotten by that point.

This is not a critique, I wouldn't have DMC any other way, but I DO want additional material that brings the setting down when we exit the 'sparda idiots' radius, and I feel like with Adi at the helm that's exactly what we might get with the anime. Oh, he also claimed to have been working on the anime all this time since 2018, and with his drive and obsession over every project I feel like Adi is not exaggerating, the production of that size and obsession could have very well taken over five years in the oven.

So yeah, I am now feeling much more excited for the whole thing. That's a very nice feeling)

#i also have a small suspicion aroace dante gang should keep their shields up... might be exaggerating though #adi shankar #what a KING this guy is im very impressed #gotta watch something of his #also hoping that he includes lady #you can't do her dirtier than capcom basically any direction they take her will be better than the nothing we currently have #free reminder for everyone to take a chill pill before release and meditate on open mindedness me very much included #sadly the video I saw is in ru and I haven't found much on adi in eng but this guy is easy to get a feel of basically watch any #brief interview with him or smth and you'll get where this post is coming from #dmc anime #dmc #devil may cry netflix #devil may cry #pls feel free to point out any typos I wrote this in one go

ok ok ok something that's been on my mind about Ai Di and Chen Yi & the conflicted feelings everyone (myself included) seems to have around them hooking up

obviously Ai Di taking advantage of drunk Chen Yi is bad. Chen Yi was clearly super out of it, and even if he did eventually recognize that it was Ai Di in front of him, he was still not in the right state of mind to be sleeping with someone

.....but—

it feels weird to even put a 'but' after a statement like that, but honestly, the context is so important. there's a big difference between, say, a sober person irl taking advantage of their drunk heartbroken friend under normal circumstances, and a feral gang member who has literally run people over for the hell of it taking advantage of his crush who is also a gang member and has flung himself at feral gang member (twice now) even though he's supposedly in love with their boss who is also a father figure to both of them.

like... it's almost impossible to view this situation through a "normal" lens lmao. also, most people irl are not in a situation where running away from your guilt entails going to literal prison for four years

so yeah, what Ai Di did was fucked up, real world or fictional, but I think it's okay to not bend over backwards trying to justify his actions when the context is so far beyond what is "normal" circumstances

#*proceeds to bend over backwards trying to justify ai di's actions* #i've just seen a lot of posts/discourse about ai di's decision to sleep with chen yi while the latter was drunk and it hit me that like #a. this is fictional. and b. it is so far removed from 'real life' that when you look at the full context... #it's actually kind of insane that someone so chill about beating people up/killing people finds *this* to be unforgivable #also the posts/discourse i've seen has been chill... this is mostly a me problem methinks #also also everything i said about gang members does not apply to kinn from kinnporsche. but that's my opinion lol #n e ways... as for ai di #that's my bestie and he did nothing wrong. he was justified in everything that he did #*said in the voice of mike's mic talking about mona vanderwaal from pll* #iykyk lmao #kiseki : dear to me #ai di x chen yi #chen yi x ai di #thoughts

when youre trying to live alone out in your field lab but then these two yahoos follow you out there and now they wont leave????

#my art #su is a very tired scientist butterfly woman #in my mind she was the one that initially designed the Infinite Prison Cubes that apparently all the espada have on them lololol #she was initially working with szayel bc they were both sciencey/researchy types. before he became espada lmfao. #buuuuuut unfortunately szayel is a bastardous man and. i havent decided if he steals her research and claims it as his own #or just frames her for something and smears her name #regardless she was demoted and was more or less forced to be a guard for one of the outer guardhouse things (think aisslinger and demoura) #it might just be that once he was promoted to espada she was. more or less considered part of his fraccion and she was uh #more than a little bit horrified/terrified of him. and was like ''please let me go anywhere else i cannot work with this man anymore'' #vinetta WAS a gardener but after her greenhouse was destroyed she had a bit of a mental break and fled las noches #vinetta is a venus fly trap woman who also has some rafflesia shit going on because i think its cool. #she has a one-sided crush/fascination with rudbornn and yes. it is just bc theyre both plants. #theres no deeper reason for it. #also think its funny for him to see her and immediately be like ''oh no not you again'' and her just being like ''RUDY IS THAT YOU~~~~~<3'' #marisol is nirgge parduoc's younger sister #shes a crocodile. and as huge and strong and epic as she is #she simply does NOT want to fight. she'd much rather just chill. and thats why she was kind of kicked out of baraggan's lil gang #her weapon normally looks like a pair of brass knuckles. #vinetta's zanpakuto is her umbrella jhfgjh #su's is just a very boring looking dagger. i was thinking it'd be funny for her weapon to look really cutesy or something so she would #DREAD taking it out hskjdfhdkj

Dick drops Damian off at Joey’s to babysit and Damian is so pressed on the car ride there. Like first of all he doesn’t NEED a babysitter and even if he did why can’t he just go with Dick? Dick is so hateful, he preaches all that bullshit about love and tolerance and care for family but now that Damian needs him he’s abandoning him??? To a STRANGER?! Dick will rue this day, the day of his ultimate BETRAYAL.

Dick goes to pick Damian up and he refuses to leave.

#he’s covered in paint and there’s 70s music going on in the background and if Richard picks him up rn it’s proof he doesn’t love him so…. #whenever literally anything happens he demands to go to Joey’s to be babysat. #I am but a child Grayson. I cannot be on my own. it’s dangerous. #literally everyone but Jason is at the manor rn. #Joey ofc joins Damian to gang up on dick #‘what if something happens and the only way it can be solved is by him being possessed by someone with more experience hm? what then?’ #that’s his son now #dick wonders if this is how bruce feels sometimes #Joey visits wayne manor but it’s not the same #(bc Joey’s place doesn’t have any bad memories associated unlike WM but this ain’t about angst so) #Dick is chill yknow like he KNEW Damián and Joey would get along he’s not feeling replaced at all #…until he sees Damian rocking overalls. he only started wearing them after meeting Joey and before that he would’ve killed himself before- #-even considering. but NOW?! #oh hc that Joey regularly wears overalls btw. last tag doesn’t make sense without that #anyways Damian is trying to get dick and Joey together now. it literally makes the most and when dick is like m #‘bro u cannot do that’ Damian is like ‘I thought u wanted me to be happy…’ and joeys like ‘I DID hear u say that (lying)’ #Damian may be a child of divorce but he refuses to be a child of two idiots who didn’t even realize they were in love. embarrassing. #Joey absolutely let’s Damian be a kid he introduces him to fingerpainting and he goes wild #personal hc that’s totally not projection that Damian feels like he not only has to master everything but do it at 100% every time period #Joey is like no bro like ik the process of getting a painting right is satisfying but u can draw a squiggly line and you’ll be fine I swear #it takes Damian a while bc he gets it mentally but he physically can’t like he feels so much shame at the thought of smth ‘imperfect’ #everything Damian draws goes on the fridge and the walls and in frames around Dick and joeys apartment bc duh #but all three of them have an adoration for the fucked up bee Damian fingerpainted with wonky lines a goofy smile and the colors bleeding- #-out the lines. #all of this is like when Damian is 11 to me like ik he is older now but they kept him in such a wack environment I need to fix it #anyways

girl help why do i feel compelled to like. replay the entire damn game to make sense of the narzissenkreuz world quest. every time i google something abt it and start seeing things i dont recognize i cant even tell if its a spoiler or just something i forgot

#i just finished the world quest for it. all the acts #but im sure this isnt the last we will see of the those who were once human gang #and cursory googling has made me a pretty solid believer in the mary-ann sandrone theory #anyway. i really love the creeping feeling of dread those quests gave me even in the more chill or upbeat moments #the earliest ones not so much but as soon as i got a little closer to what was going on. eek #also what the hell happened to carter. nobody has mentioned him in foreverrrrrrr is he still trapped somewhere on elynas #anyway. yay! i really loved these world quests. definitely one of my favorites #shouts #genshin impact

i reached the end of astarion's quest

most of the time i've been content with letting my party members make their own choices and not moralize at them, so it makes my dialogue options at the end a matter of "how well do i know them and what they really want?" rather than me imposing my will upon them both as party lead and player

#verm is playing... #for a while gale + astarion + me are the Gang (even tho i rarely take gale out bc 1 wiz is enough) #the ''no one gets to fuck w us again'' and ''do it for science. cmon. 🔍'' gang #i also like the fact that i don't have to be preachy bc it feels like i can actually play as myself #bc i usually don't declare my opinion unless people really know me #nor do i usually try to get my way. i am content to let ppl figure their lives out and i will live mine #if it makes them want to follow suit i'm chill too

The mound under which Dante's remains were layed in 1944 and 1945.

I am officially on holiday. I am staying at the seaside with my parents for a relaxing couple of weeks, while travelling here we took a stop in Ravenna. It's a city I visited multiple time and that I adore (and of which you'll be seeing pictures for the next few days). It was very rainy and moody, but honestly the admosphere was very nice. As with every visit of mine to this city I went to pay my respects to Dante's tomb, and this time for the first time I got to hear the bell that rings for him every night. The prospects for my chill hobbit summer at the seaside are pretty good. I have a few trips planned to visit places, but I will be mostly reading, doing crosswords and hopefully finishing the bookmarks I am making for my friends.

🍵: kokeicha tea (I have never had this tea before, so I felt like it was a good excuse to bring the tea drinking section back. It was very light, I am not sure I let it infuse enough but the herbalist gave me no instructions. It's good but not my favourite I'd say)
