i actually didn't rly care about the milkman at first and was surprised he blew up in the fandom so quickly, until I saw some of the fanart (especially if the "scarlet milk" doppelganger??) Yeah I get it now

#Tnmn #that's not my neighbor #I still prefer the doppelgangers over the human characters bc Im a villain enjoyer at heart #And they're infinitely more interesting

the matrix has soooo much in common with naruto actually. lol. was watching matrix reloaded today and there is a scene in there where someone tells neo that "u do not truly know someone until u fight them" ... hmmm. wonder who else might say smth like that .. but also. there is the obvious infinite tsukuyomi matrix parallel but Moreover. there is also this constant theme of like fate vs. choice, destiny vs. free will and like, neo, he questions whether he even has any choice if everything is predestined anyway and the oracle replies smth like "u have already made ur choice. now its ur turn to understand why u made it" like .. it seems very "character is fate" to me. like the choices he'll make, they are predestined, he cannot escape them, theyre fated for him but bc he is HIM .. bc he is who he is, he will make them regardless. this is exactly like madara's narrative? LOL. and naruto's as well. madara, contrary to neo, isnt actually the messiah or "the one" or whatever but he Also has a predestined fate path ahead of him. a path that he cannot escape .. what he wants, also, is control over his fate. his whole journey is abt struggling to be able to decide for himself, all he wants is control ... neo doesnt want to be powerless. he wants to decide for himself. yet, his path is predestined. and madara's path is as well but they still both make their own choices, they are NOT so much controlled by a higher power that decides for them but by who they are as a person. madara. he cant make any other choices. if it had been someone other than him back in konoha during his conflict with hashirama, that person might have been able to go abt solving this differently and the result would not have been what it was but bc this is MADARA. he cant. he is governed and almost imprisoned in some way by his own nature ... which is also what makes this a tragedy, Neo's journey is not a tragedy bc he IS the one and he doesnt want to become god. all he wants is to save trinity ... but the point is, their personalities, who they ARE, as characters, both madara and neo (and also naruto), predetermines their fate and that fate is either salvation ... or destruction. naruto, he also follows a predestined journey that has been picked for him by fate, i would argue that solving the indra/ashura cycle of violence has always been part of his destiny. but its still his own choice ... naruto wants to save sasuke. he doesnt want to abandon him. sasuke, he wants to be with naruto. so their love for each other, it is part of Who They Are and it saves them. and frees them of indra and ashura's violence ... but the point here is that "character is fate", it means that ur choices, desires and nature .. they are one and the same as ur fate. ur path is predestined but u DO have ur own will. ur very own will is much more what u cannot escape, not some higher power. its ur own self.

(trinity btw, she also runs towards her own fate and potential death despite having been warned by neo to not enter the matrix when he seeks out the source in there [or the "architect", the creator of the matrix]. she sees that his life is in danger ... and cant help but enter the matrix to try and help save him despite having been TOLD that she might die and promised neo to not do it. she cant help but do it anyway .. cuz she loves him. and cannot stand watching him die.)

madara CANNOT escape his Desire, his Longing for power bc power, it does promise control, and he cannot escape or circumvent his anxieties around trust, he cant trust ppl, its impossible for him ... he cannot communicate without violence, he cant help but WANT violent conflict w hashirama, he cant help but long to abandon his humanity and let go of everything that might make him vulnerable but he also Wants to be vulnerable at the same time asdsgdgdfs. the conclusion tho is that whoever u are as a person .. what u want and what u desire. it is what fabricates ur own destiny .. and it either dooms u OR saves u. in naruto's case, its his nature as a person that saves him (and sasuke). neo does end up saving the world and fulfilling his destiny as the one who ends the machines' world domination not cuz he WANTS to be a messiah but bc he just is. and madara ... its the reason he's doomed. his desires and wants .. theyre the reason his narrative ends in destruction

#:) #love pausing a movie to quickly write up a draft abt why its the same as naruto AGSFSGS #naruto goggles literally clouding all other media #but in all seriousness i was thinking abt this some time ago already bc of badninken's post abt how the matrix #and the infinite tsukuyomi are similar or almost the same #i havent even touched on that here yet LOL there's a lot to say abt that too #but yeah .... im obsessed and intrigued by the 'character is fate' thing :) #and also everything in the world is abt mdr. lol. not My fault #posts #madara #naruto #the matrix #<- VERY scary to set this tag. ADSFSFS #im sry matrix enjoyers but i had to relate ur fave movies w fucking naruto i couldnt help myself sfsfesfdgs

We really need to put the "psycho killer who hears voices in their head telling them to kill" trope to bed. First of all because it's ableist and not at all how mental illnesses work, and second of all cause it's just boring. You ever need to write a psycho killer guy just write a guy who does it for fun. He doesn't have Evil Brain Syndrome or anything he's just a freak.

#aka a certain webcomic kind of went downhill in season 2 #it's 2024 put the 'voices in my head' trope to bed #real serial killers do it cause they want to anyway #literally just sick freaks who get off on killing and like attention #that is - if nothing else - infinitely more enjoyable to watch than 'boo-hoo evil brain make me do bad!'

After my last post I decided to sit down and rank all the possible companion pairs. here is the tierlist, should you wish to fill it out yourself.

This is a "ship" chart, but it's important to clarify that I am interested in how the dynamic works overall, not just romantically. I am very invested in how the stories of different characters overlap, and how they could mesh together to change both people involved. so the more interesting I find an individual character, the more likely they are to be higher in the chart.

How interesting I find characters also usually translates to my desire (or lack thereof) to draw them. So my likeliness to draw a pairing is the scale I used to describe each tier, rather than a nebulous "S," "B", or "F." This way, I feel it is better understood exactly why each pair is placed where it is.

Once again, sorry to those who enjoy miss SH. I do not hate her, I just do not find her to be an especially compelling character. I like the voice acting for her, but I don't care for her design, and I feel any element of her story is simply better explored in those of other characters.

*Special Exception 1: I have to split this pair off specifically, because I've thoroughly disparaged it in the past, based on erroneous judgments of halsin's character. when I first played the game, I locked myself out of a lot of Act 2 dialogue with him, which meant I missed the parts of his character that I do find interesting. I will say, it does still deeply bother me how much of his character revolves around sating the sexual desire players might have for him. I also hate that, as far as I'm aware, he can only acknowledge the player's relationship with astarion in the context of having sex. But after spending an entire campaign playing the game correctly, trying to learn as much about halsin as I could, and thus romancing him, so that I could properly judge him, I have grown attached to my rewritten version of him. so I'm not so much fond of the star/halsin pair as it is in game, as I am of that dynamic in the context of corydalis' campaign.

*Special Exception 2: after what happened with halsin, I feel it would be unfair to judge how interesting I might find minthara's relationship with most of the other companions, given that I've not yet had the opportunity to recruit her. despite this, I can safely say that I have no interest in whatever would likely play out between her any of the men, bar gale. gale is the exception because I've seen snippets of dialogue between them. I do not necessarily think they'd work together romantically, but again, it's more that the potential dynamic between them is interesting to me, regardless of the type of relationship they have. also, I do not categorise all other minthy x male companion pairs as bad because I am of the belief that she is not bisexual. I have faith that this game would make an effort to show us that she was a different identity, were she, because it already does a great job of affirming every other companion's bisexuality outside their potential relationship to the player. what I do not have faith in, however, is that minthy has as beautifully written a story as lae'zel does, where she learns to abandon the cruel and bigoted beliefs her society indoctrinated her to have. not when origin companions like wyll & karlach still lack material, and not when halsin's writing is as inconsistent as it is. I do not think that either halsin or minthy have, or will ever have, fully fleshed out narratives.

if you've interesting commentary about a particular pairing that you like, that you feel I might benefit from reading, do feel free to share it! even if I dislike a pairing, I am usually willing to read someone's thoughts about why they do find it interesting, granted it's not like...something utterly foul. I just ask you keep any commentary you choose to share to companion/companion pairs or companion/companion pairs in the context of polyamory with a tav/durge. NPC romance is another conversation.

#bg3 #thoughts about media #sorry. I know this is wordy... but I think it's fairly concise considering I am typing all of this. #I feel my commentary is still shorter than that of many streamers I've seen do tierlists for whichever subject. #overall I am still less invested in companion/companion pairs than I am in creating an engaging dynamic between a companion/tav of mine. #sure it's considerably more work to produce a compelling companion/tav pairing. but I find it infinitely more satisfying to do. #and I must clarify. because it's imperative to understanding why I enjoy it more. that I do Not do self insert tavs of any kind. #I have nothing against the practice. even though I do not understand the appeal whatsoever because my enjoyment of something doesn't- #-necessitate my complete identification with a character in the narrative. I rather enjoy different characters for different reasons. #when I make a tav. I'm creating an... “informed response” to whichever companion I am having that tav romance. #I start with a purpose and flesh them out as I go. I rework them over and over and over. sometimes I even change who they will romance! #it's a whole process. might not be what others find fun. but it's what I find fun!

You will not believe how much value is gained for a movie just by shooting on location. Yes I know some locations are not real and I’m not devaluing vfx blah blah blah but my god, if the characters are supposed to be a high school hallway please put them in a real high school hallway

#i saw sisu in theaters and the movie itself was super silly #but just because they were shooting on location for some shots it made the experience infinitely more enjoyable #my mom had the new shazam on the tv #and tell me why it looked like they blue screened a high school hallway behind rachel zegler #or if they didnt the way they filmed it made it look like it did #and like i know wakanda is not real i know. I know. #but find a better compositing method for the volume than creating insanely shallow focus #i would like to see the background please!! #film posting #robin rambles

im so proud to be the only exposure you've had of ygo

#i do not recommend actually watching it #i recognize that my enjoyment is not normal and uncalled for #the manga is infinitely better tho #actually - if you choose to watch ygo watch the season 0 of it #that one's real good

do you think that sigma can travel the universe within the comfort of his own mind? like did the Accident(tm) give him the ability to use street view and now he can google maps his way across the milky way or what

#sigma #siebren de kuiper #<- actually putting my one of many ramblings about sigma into the tags because i would like to hear what my fellow sigma enjoyers think #i like to think he can because of his one voiceline with reaper that goes somethings like #'how can one focus when viewing the infinite universe??' #and that's my only basis for thinking that jdjsdjsds

A deoxys-solosis fusion sprite I made for Pokemon Infinite Fusion.

The discord server was having a deoxys contest, which I found out about only an hour before the deadline. I didn't quite manage to finish this sprite in time for the contest.

#pixel art #pokemon #pokemon fusion #pokemon infinite fusion #deoxys #solosis #bacteriophage #my art #I probably don't need to tag bacteriophage but how else am I going to appeal to the pokemon fans that are also bacteriophage enjoyers

actually on the topic of nightmares!!! i wonder if anyone in the cast has had nightmares related to the phantom ruby. that war lasted like six months after all!

Heh, I personally do feel that making the war last literally half a year was just far too long. It's quite a significant chunk of time for many characters... yet absolutely nobody is affected by it. Not physically, not mentally, not emotionally. And of course I understand this is a Sonic game and they're not gonna shown everyone gravely injured and with PTSD, but with six months I truly would have expected some consequences on the cast. If it had only been one or two months or so, it would have been easier for me to suspend my disbelief on this topic, I feel.

Regardless, to answer your question, it does make sense to me that characters would indeed have nightmares. Infinite killed like four or five people right in front of the Avatar, Eggman's Death Egg is filled with captured people and he is heavily implied to have murdered captives, Tails saw Sonic "die" before his eyes(?), the Resistance at the end of those six months was reduced to almost nothing... and then lost 80% of their forces in Operation Big Wave on top. And then they all nearly got scorched alive in the fake fun. It gives enough grounds for nightmares, also considering how absolutely insane Infinite's power is with the Ruby. So I would not be surprised if the cast is in some way affected by it and needs time to mentally recover from the events of the game; it's just not shown or indicated to us, basically.

#I have somewhat conflicted feelings on Forces #on the one hand I do quite like the game and gameplay and I love Infinite as a villain and I don't hate the plot at all #but on the other hand... I do feel that the execution is lacking‚ so to say #they wanted it to be very grandiose but couldn't deliver there because that is not how Sonic games really *work*‚ perchance? #in the games characters 99% of the time are not affected by what happens to them and especially not on a longer time span #but with a *six month* war it feels *impossible* to me that they are not affected by their circumstances #so then the entire world gets basically destroyed/terraformed towards Eggman's interests... and yet it will never show up again #and everyone honestly just shrugs it off like it never even happened #it's definitely a strength of Sonic characters that they *can* do that and I find it inspiring #and my disbelief luckily does not take away from my enjoyment of the game #but... yeah‚ haha. It's a situation where they could not have won anyway: the earlier plot drafts are glued together by narm galore instead #and those definitely tried to be more serious about it all #hmm... it makes me wonder how 'far you can go' to make an epic story wherein you still can expect the cast to not be affected so much #but I would say Sonic being captured for 6 months while Eggman destroys the planet and murders/captures the populace throughout is too far- #-considering the complete lack of engagement with those rather heavy/serious points and the timespan they took place in #but regardless this is a very incomprehensible ramble about my thoughts on Forces haha

girl help I can’t sleep because I’m thinking too much about the near-infinite aesthetic richness of the human experience available to me

#like….I’m still on a high from making paintings yesterday #and I can make food that is interesting and variable! #and I can fill my home with things that are beautiful and interesting and worth spending time appreciating #just like my parents did! #yes it will take years because I don’t have infinite money but okay??? #I can buy and make and wear clothes that are lovely and functional and interesting in their own ways! #I can easily listen to so many different kinds of music! #I can experience a few different environments as easily as driving to town or taking a walk outside or lighting some candles #I just….maybe the modern human existence needs a few more gothic cathedrals but it’s not nothing #it’s rich and beautiful and full of potential #and I’m so grateful for that #for all those possibilities #and the enjoyment I will have in creating and choosing and living in them

Fridging two characters with one kill is probably some kind of record.

#eternal stargate rewatch #stargate universe spoilers #stargate universe #stargate universe malice #honestly doing the 'sexy lamp test' and as Red suggests imagining that they had killed Rush and/or Eli's prize pokemon card collection #instead of actual characters makes Rush's reaction hilarious and infinitely more enjoyable #credit where it's due i was so psyched that he reenacted my fav scene from The Jungle Book. though Lion King was probably their inspiration
