I think it’s interesting storytelling how in the beginning of the game Cal says the Sixth Sister’s name, Masana Tide, and reminds her of who she used to be—and it visibly distresses her because it hurts what was done to her and Cal isn’t wrong in what he’s saying. The shocking thing for me was the moment when Cal said “It’s time to set you free”. It was such a surreal feeling hearing Cal say that, those kinds of words, to know he decided it was time to strike her down; it’s understandable because she killed his entire crew, but for Cal to be the executioner in that way was scary to see coming after only experiencing the young kid he was in Fallen Order. Now you really get the feeling Cal has been through a lot, he’s grown as a man since Fallen Order and he’s calloused, not entirely in a bad way given he’d have to be to survive but still in a depressing way, as a result. I know overall and gameplay wise, Cal has killed a lot of people, it’s nothing new, but storytelling wise it’s a serious moment for Cal. It’s a moment you know is going to follow him the rest of the game for character development. After he kills her, it’s made clear by the music and by Cal’s body language that this isn’t a good thing coming from him. It isn’t a triumph. Even BD-1 knows and worries for Cal with his little “Boop…?” and Cal is only able to respond rather shakily, “Yeah… I’m okay”.

When he meets up with Bode and Bravo and they ask him what happened to the Inquisitor, he gives a simple, no emotion, “Dead”. The long pause of Bravo not saying anything in response to me says a lot; it feels like he isn’t used to Cal having a reaction like that.

Then we have Rayvis. Cal defeats him in battle and asks him to join in the fight against Dagan. He doesn’t want to kill Rayvis—“You don’t have to do this”. The oddly tragic part to me is that Rayvis has dreams of seeing Tanalorr again. If Dagan succeeds his dream will be realized, but he’s given up on the dream and wants a warrior’s death now. He wants to die, and in his mind, honorably, by Cal’s hands, and he’s going to force Cal to do it. But for Cal it’s another execution on his part. He pauses before he lifts his saber and kills Rayvis. It isn’t a triumph. Again we’re given a sudden swell of music to tell us the emotion behind the action of killing Rayvis. You can see it’s affected Cal badly. BD-1 seems to ask Cal the same question as before, “Boop…?” but this time Cal doesn’t acknowledge the question and just replies, “We should go”.

Killing Dagan hurts for Cal too. Dagan is a Jedi, someone who held onto the Order, who tied his entire identity to it and all of his goals are focused on restoring the Order and fighting to change the universe. Just like Cal in a way. Dagan is single-mindedly focused on the mission, so obsessively, he lost himself and the one he loved as a result. Cal understands and see the parallel of that kind of drive in his own mission against the Empire and it terrifies him. Dagan could’ve helped him fight the Empire but it became another tragic moment of having to kill a once fellow Jedi. This is another tragedy. Bode doesn’t care about Dagan being dead on the floor but Cal does. Cal has enough respect to place Dagan’s lightsaber on his chest. Cal pauses to reflect but Bode immediately gets back to getting the compass.

We have this interesting arch of reactions to killing his opponents. They were each killed for the mission. It was necessary. They each started the fight against him. No matter the reason though, it’s still very painful for Cal.

Cal is being pushed into this direction of forcing him to question his beliefs and who he is. His whole identity at this point has been tied to the Order, of being a Jedi, and it’s very clear by his conversations in Fallen Order that it really matters to who he is. By the end of Survivor, we have three fallen Jedi: Masana Tide, Dagan Gera, and Bode Akuna. So who is Cal Kestis? What will he become? Is he doomed to fall like they did? That’s what troubles him—“Let’s just say I don’t wanna end up like him [Dagan]”.

He’s afraid he’s going to lose himself.

The fear is almost realized when he’s about to kill another opponent. The one behind the murders of his friends and mentors. Cal’s been killing each of his main opponents up to the point at Nova Garon—this one will be no different. Except killing the man who sent Bode on the mission to infiltrate his team is different. Cal is on the edge of losing himself to the Dark Side. In Fallen Order he pleaded for Cere not to use the Dark Side because “She’s stronger than that”, “[she] still had a choice”. But Cal is failing to remember any of that for himself. He wants to kill because he’s angry, grieving, and in immense pain. Merrin has to bring him back—“This is not you!” There’s a question of whether or not Cal would’ve been able to stop himself if Merrin hadn’t been there though.

When we get to the final battle, Merrin is warning Cal of what’s likely going to happen but he ignores her for a while which prompts her to say, “Well? Say something!” He doesn’t want to acknowledge that Merrin is right and they’re likely going to have to kill Bode, and with that, taking Kata’s father away—a loss of family Cal and Merrin know too much about. So they both try and give Bode every chance to stop and turn away from what he’s done, despite how much Bode had hurt them. Sadly, Cal once again is forced into using the Dark Side to prevent Bode from killing Merrin. It was worth it. It was worth using it to save Merrin. He couldn’t let her be killed. He couldn’t see that happen before his eyes like he had with all of his friends and mentors.

After everything is over, there’s this sickly feeling left behind. Not simply because of Bode’s death, but because of the impact on Merrin realizing Kata has lost family just like she and Cal had, but also because of the impact the death of Bode has on Cal. And after Cal carries away Bode’s body, the music changes to an eerie, ominous, high pitch, minor key when we see Cal board the Mantis. The kind of change in music which lets the audience know there’s something seriously wrong. Things are different now. Cal’s different. And he knows it.

He’s lost in time watching the pyre, reflecting on everything that had happened but also on how grateful he is to Cere, but he knows the impact of her loss will continue to be with him for the rest of his life. Just like Jaro Tapal. Another guiding force in his life is gone. With Cere and Cordova gone, there is no longer any Jedi wisdom to seek out. He’s now alone in that way as a Jedi.

“I’m scared… I almost lost myself… I don’t know if I’m ready.”

Cal and the audience are left with the dreadful realization—

“I don’t know if I’m ready for what comes next”.

quick random poll because this has been bugging me since frontiers came out

cutscene in question -> X

#if you have stuff to say please tell me i wanna hear thoughts on this #not to sway the poll but its felt like such a weird cutscene to me and not right for their characters #but i dont know if i have any reasoning for it #something about how maybe knux is too trusting ? but he really hasnt been lately #tryna work it out in my head. different situations sonics been in and how hes handled them #he kinda just rolled with merlina. then again she wasnt directly working against him at the start. same with shahra #maybe im getting a mix of idws sonic in it and thats whats rubbing the wrong way #its got a similar feel to the whole 'i can fix them' attitude he has toward enemies and rivals in those comics that just isnt my favorite #dont want to get into idw arguments but it does bother me #rraaaaaa ive gotta stop trying to analyze sonics character its gonna drive me crazy #rambles #sth #sonic frontiers spoilers #anyway this is just genuine curiosity and asking for clarification if anyone does think its in-character and why #i like hearing thoughts on this stuff #can you tell its midnight for me

Actually, I really wish Tumblr as a whole was less comfortable using feminizing language for gay men, especially gay East Asian men.

#unforth rambles #brought to you by the person i saw call chu wanning 'mo ran's mother' and the person who defended them #putting aside the question of accuracy re his role in mo ran's life #the words parent and father both exist yall #like idk but also wtf #see also girlboss and such being applied to gay men #idk i feel like im in the vast minority on this one #but my whole life ive seen gay men feminized in real life against their will #no matter how masc they were or wanted to be everything became fem #maybe im just to old to be with the times on why this is cute and funny abd okay #but given tumblr demographics and all #like shit like this is imo why so many women and afab nb people in fandom get accused of fetishizing #we older queers remember when doing this was considered disgusting homophobia actually #and imo it goes double or triple when they gay men in question are east asian #i really wish we could just fuckin stop #to be clear im not saying it IS fetishizing im saying i wish there was more awareness of the history of forced feminizing language #being used towars gay men in general and toward east asian men regardless of sexuality #for a lot of people i gotta think the knee jerk reaction to this kinda language being used is these context isnt teehee how cute #its ew who would say that #anyway i blocked op on the mo ran stuff but it still left a bad taste in my mouth

A shame I wasn't able to find the motivation to finish my Halloween art in time for Halloween. Might still finish it and post it late for fun, especially since it's already lined.

Started it early and everything and I still couldn't make it. Oh well. That's what I get for getting distracted doodling silly stuff.

#text post #just rambling #Ive just been trying to keep my head on straight and doodling to distract myself these past couple weeks #that WIP has been sitting there...SO close to finished #I just had to color it... :( But coloring is a process I really gotta be in the headspace for #shoulda just slapped on some comfort show and powered through it so I wouldnt be late #but getting mad about what I didnt do isnt gonna make it magically happen lol #so late halloween art is my curse #sorry if I sound a little down for a bit its not the halloween lateness thats got me like this its more so just...#my brain. and my situation. I just gotta wait for the waters of my mind to calm back down #right now they waves are high. and Im just trying to keep my head above water the best I can #okay wow let me. just stop now yall dont wanna hear all that~! <3

I don’t remember if I already made a post about this but I had to think about it again after my last post:

Avery calling the player "doll" can have some wildly different underlying implications depending on the pc.

It works well on a surface level for every pc. You are their doll in a literal sense. at least for the time they're paying you/you're in their company.

But depending on how the pc looks it can mean something completely different.

Is the pc conventionally attractive, beautiful even? Its very apt if that’s the case. But it also works for pcs that don’t fit that mold, as a kind of mockery. It's objectifying and makes you aware of how ill fitting the pet name is and that makes is doubly patronizing somehow

#she’s such a little shitkid I love her #I really do think she calls Dee that to indirectly mock her (even though she is very attracted to Dee and likes how she looks-#- she still says it to be an ass) gotta stop those sugar babies from developing an ego y'know #dee #Avery #dolrambles #dol rambles #dol Avery #avery the businessbutch #avery the businessperson #dolgl

sorta an interesting characterizing detail that majima continues to wear an eyepatch instead of getting a prosthesis like most people (who have the money/resources, which he does) do. like I imagine it’s a combination of being dedicated to the image he’s made for himself/being stuck in his ways (not in a particularly bad sense here), and growing over the years from feeling the deep shame that wound is meant to bring him to accepting it as part of himself for the better or worse, not wanting to sugarcoat any part of himself no matter the unpleasantness, to maybe even feeling some level of pride or confidence in it in a way because it represents just how much of a resilient motherfucker he’s had to be to make it out of the shit he’s been through and whatnot. idk just something I think about sometimes

#majima #goro majima #yakuza #rambling #I gotta get out of bed and stop rambling about majima #but yeah I have to imagine someone at some point would’ve (extremely cautiously) asked him about potentially getting a prosthesis fitted #since he’d certainly garnered the money for it #and he’d have to sit there and really think about it #because for a long ass time I don’t doubt being reminded of it and of that time in the hole in general every time he looked in a mirror #was legitimately triggering and near-unbearably shameful #so when it’s brought to his attention that it’s a pretty normal thing nowadays to get a prosthesis for a missing eye (and often the #healthiest/most shape-maintaining option in the long run)#he’d really have to just. sit there. like huh. this would be a miracle option for me two decades ago. but now? huh.#I seriously doubt he’d get one at this point #or at least if he did he’d end up not really using the glass eye part of it and just wearing the eyepatch instead like usual #unless in very specific situations #but yeah

listen in the grand scheme of things i'm glad i let myself get back into minecraft content for this. like i haven't touched a minecraft series since like 2014, on purpose, but i saw clips of qsmp in march 2023 and thought, screw it. maybe it's time. and i don't regret it yknow? i saw multilingual server and thought 'that looks AWESOME' and it certainly didn't disappoint. my only regret is that everything went crazy and people logged off RIGHT when everyone finally started relying on the live translations more, which was something i've been dreaming of for months lmfao. all in all, just happy to be here. this stuff gave me new reasons to use my blog.

hell if this is actually an end or even just a pause maybe i can FINALLY write my FUCKING TIME LOOP FIC JESUS FUCKING I'VE BEEN COOKING THAT STUPID FUCKING THING SINCE LIKE MAY LIKE I WAS ON THE FUCKING FIELD AT MY COLLEGE GRADUATION CEREMONY WAITING TO WALK THE STAGE AND GET MY DIPLOMA AND I WAS WRITING THE FIRST STUPID CHAPTER OF IT LIKE GENUINELY BUT I PUT IT ON HOLD BC THINGS KEPT HAPPENING AND I WAS LIKE I SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE BIG PICTURE SO I CAN ACTUALLY PLAY WITH IT PROPERLY BC THE MOST FUN I HAVE WITH TIME LOOP AUS COMES FROM KNOWING EVERYTHING AND MESSING WITH HOW SIMPLE ACTIONS CAN ALTER THE PROGRESSION OF EVENTS AND CHANGE CHARACTER CHOICES LOGICALLY BC THAT STUFF'S COOL BUT I DIDN'T KNOW LIKE THE MYSTERY OF THE FEDERATION OR WHATEVER AND I WANTED TO SEE WHERE THAT WAS GOING SO I COULD SEE WHETHER I WANTED TO TOSS IT OR ALTER IT OR KEEP IT AND SEE NOW I'LL KNOW YKNOW AND NOW I CAN JUSTIFY SHIT LIKE "OH HEY PURGATORY'S HAPPENING IN JUNE THIS TIME BC I WANT THE BREAKFAST TRIO TO EXIST FASTER AND FUCK YOU" WITHOUT IT FEELING TOO WEIRD AND ALSO STUFF LIKE CODE LORE AND ALL THIS OTHER NONSENSE LIKE DAMN WOULD BE PRETTY COOL I MEAN ONE SINGLE FUCKING INTERACTION BETWEEN SLIME AND MARIANA COULD SEND ME CAREENING DOWN A PATH PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT UNIMAGINABLE I COULD MAKE THIS FIC THAT'S BEEN SIMMERING SINCE LAST MAY A REALITY I COULD DO IT THIS COULD FIX ME. THIS COULD FIX ME

but yeah i'm glad i allowed myself to get invested in this server. i think y'all are cool, and i think the admins did amazing with everything they were given even though they shouldn't have been given it the way they were, and the ccs were cool and i'm glad everything happened yknow. maybe things will keep happening and maybe not but yknow what. i became All Powerful. i started watching as someone who knew english and some french and now i am someone who knows english (100%), slightly more french (like 70%), a workable understanding of spanish (like 40%) and a slightly less workable understanding of portuguese (like 20%) they added german to nerf me specifically. they knew i was getting too powerful. yeah, i spent some time as a kpoppie, i have a tiny miniscule understanding of korean (5%) german i have 0 experience with they added german to nerf me and then this happened to nerf me further. make no mistake they cannot stop me. i will become all powerful.

like cmon. if it ends here it was never all bad. i don't even have to use google translate to understand roier shittalking in the chat. i can just read it. i couldn't do that before :D and i can make my chilean friend keysmash bc she's not used to me knowing any spanish at all

we've grown strong over the year, haven't we? i hope we will continue to, no matter what :D

#qsmp #shut up vic #block game brainrot #yippee!!#i don't think this is a 'so long and thanks for all the fish' moment to be honest #but perhaps!#hmm i tried not to make this a goodbye post since idk the future #if any of our wonderful admins see this thank you very very much for your hard work!!#you truly made this server; its memories are all yours :D thank you for everything #long post #it was really nice to be part of an active tumblr community #i don't think i've ever been active in a fandom that was as passionate as this one #i learned a lot and i've had a lot of fun! even when it's a shitshow lmao #yea anyway lmao i should send this i think i should stop looking at it #this is long and rambly and silly sorry for the wall of text and especially the all caps part #maybe someday that fic will exist but i gotta be better Cultured yknow #accents are hard to write i must Study ✍️ perhaps i shall do MUCH vod crawling now that i'm not distracted by oodles of live content >:D #see! silver lining #IDK I NEED TO SEND THIS LOVE YOU GUYS SORRY THIS IS A MESS

I feel like Mio had to relearn how to love Noah after her time with N

#leechies rambles #cuz like. imagine how damaging it must have been for her to spend an entire month with a man who looked like the one she loves but acts like #a complete and utter asshole #who was very controlling and overbearing #especially while also containing all of M's memories of how he was and what he's done #like thats Gotta taint your view of the good version #so i hc that Mio was actually very on edge after rejoining with her friends #Noah tries his best to keep it all in mind and always makes sure to modify how he talks or what he does in order to not spook her more #it was actually very difficult and complicated for them for a bit afterwards i think #(i really should stop putting the bulk of the hc in the tags woops)#anyways. I've been thinking a lot about them lately #xc3 #xenoblade mio

The Call Thumbnail Art

Since I'm not doing much digital art recently, I think posting the thumbnail art I did for my animatic would be pretty neat.

If you haven't seen the animatic yet, I posted it onto YT here for people to see! (shhh I just want people to look at it)

(Individual and full character versions under the cut!) vVv

does anyone else claw at the walls wanting to finish things but never actually make a move to finish them. or barely even start them and then forget about it. I don't know when or why I started doing this but it's very annoying

#zeph.text #I'm crying sobbing wailing over here wanting to make finished art and then I thumbnail it and never do anything else #I think I've been waiting for an idea I Really want to do or for something to really inspire me #but nothing inspires me as much as I want it to so I just never do anything #I gotta stop that I wanna finish art even if it's not my Best idea or the one Im really excited to finish #I've got so many ideas written down that I wanna do too #rare zephyr rambling moment #it's 3am I need to sleep

Why did you make this AU?

Short answer: I love unethical men.

#i have a Thing for emotional manipulation in fiction. originally i wasnt supposed to talk about nick on main #usually when i see emotional manipulation in comics or fics or else its too... obvious? like. not subtle enough to be... realistic?#i dont know if im making sense. but theres multiple things i think about when making nick lore #1) no one wakes up one day thinking 'im gonna be a bad person today ! :D'#2) no one wakes up one day thinking 'im gonna let myself get manipulated today ! :D'#theres gotta be plausable deniability *or* youre in too deep to even try to deny-- that wasnt your original question was it #anyway. to stop the rambling: i have a thing for exploring the worst parts of the human psyche *and* im a homosexual.#i want to see bad people who are genuinely bad people and there's not a lot of those so im making 'em myself #...nick isn't as bad as it could get really. he's pretty tame actually #maybe i'll make worse things one day #ask #powercoreact #and of course there's the fact that nick was originally a vent thing but that's a story you unlock at lvl. 5+ friendship #arsenic #omori au #omori

worst part is that i care a lot for most of the school work but im having to choose between which ones to actually put attention into cause i literally don't have enough time or energy in the day to split across everything god i cant wait for summer when i can just relax and focus on my own shit for once cause god that felt so unbelievably good during spring break

#ramble #txt #sorry for the rants periodically #things could of course be much muhc worse #at least the classes are cool for the most part and im proud of what im helping make #but oh my god i wish i could just focus on one or two of these things not split across all like 5 or 6 or whatever #so many things i wanna do but here i am making a slideshow on the mistral typeface #which tbf has a pretty neat history but like do i really need to be doing this right now of all times #okah i gotta stop now im ranting in the tags too k byeeeeee
