Anyone else kind of a big fan of Gale x Laezel? Ik most ppl prefer shadowheart & laezel which fair also some ppl don’t like Gale or laezel but like

Idk if it’s just in my games but laezel and Gale are consistently really nice to each other

Like of the passing convos I’ve seen Gale is like the only one (that isn’t tav) that tries to learn more about her

+

Additionally laezel to gale is always sweet and more complimentary than she is to the other characters I’ve seen. She even offers to train him!

Also when a certain thing happens she is like protective over him!

Also also I’ve done laezel’s romance and one of her confession lines is like so perf for a Gale x laezel

#bg3 #bg3 gale #bg3 lae'zel #bg3 gale x lae’zel #thoughts #Oni talks #kinda tempted to do a run as laezel and romance Gale #I do kinda wanna see what shadowheart romancing laezel would be like though #but also karlach and shadowheart is cute #wyll and karlach would be so fitting… the goodness duo #I’ve also seen some ppl shopping fake and Astarion which considering the perfectly good gale line is so cute #also their stories match up so well #kinda like how laezel and shadowheart and wyll and karlach #but also all the companions have interconnecting stuff which is great for shipping #galezel

Brain is braining too much me thinks

#thoughts #oni talks #oni vents #I feel like I’m being torn between 2 futures and I know one isn’t really realistic and is a thing of the past but it’s also like #not only does it feel like giving up but it also feels like I’d have to face the fact that I can’t go back and unexperience some things #that changed me as a person and I know me wanting to go down that path is me trying to go back to when I first started feeling hope for #life again (if I ever had that tbh) & it’s meant so much to me for so long and like I know that I 100% would not be able to have achieved #any of what I’ve achieved now if I hadn’t started that first path. the fact that the second one is even an option is because of the first. #I also wonder how much is on me & it compounds in the severe regret I’ve been having about some recent stuff in my life along with recurrent #realizations and nightmares of the past haunting me & just. it’s so painful I know maybe I’m being dramatic and there’s a possibility that #in the future if it will work out and I can have my cake and eat it too but I genuinely don’t know how realistic that is to achieve #I want to be able to recapture the feelings I had before but there are certain experiences that so thouroughly crushed the person I had #finally begun to build up that I don’t know if that’s truly possible & if I just have to accept that I need to change to face who I am now #I’ve been really stuck recently when it comes to getting better and I know why but I’ve also blocked out so much of it that it’s just like #hard to even work through things you just want to forget and act like they never happened because that’s easier & logically I know it doesnt #work that way but it still feels painful. I feel the weight of my mistakes on my shoulders again. & it’s been resulting in what I know is #a lot of self sabotage & I feel like I should be better than this but I’m not I feel like I’ve regressed & like it wasn’t that long ago that #I literally felt like I was a kid again it was so surreal and strange & gross & I just hate so much of what’s happened in my life but I also #know there’s a lot of good that’s come from it & so it’s hard to process all these awful things when I know if they weren’t there the stuff #that I do love wouldn’t be either. it’s really hard to hope for a future I’ve never experienced. I’ve been meeting so many new people & its #reminded me of how anxious I actually am as a person bc normally I don’t have to face that bc I am by myself or in specific scenarios I’ve #cultivated to be tolerable & i feel like I keep learning things about myself or my experiences that I just don’t want to learn or to exist #& it’s frustrating bc there’s also so much pressure not just from myself but other ppl that I want to be able to pull through & do things #I know are probably not the most realistic but then a part of me is angry at myself at being a coward & wondering if I’m just awful & broken #I’ve been trying to fight back in what ways I can and the results have (usually) been really good but they come with their own prices #I hate how easy it’s become to simultaneously prefer escapism while not feeling like things are bad enough or that there is no escapism #I hate that I keep having moments where I get things and then I just fall again & Ik I’ll get there eventually but I’ve lost so much hope #that I don’t know if it’s even possible to ever get back. the last year or so is just so many ups and downs and new things and idk #I feel so torn because this is a future I foresaw and even wanted at some point and now it feels so heavy & costly & I just feel #like I’m evil & irredeemable or smth & every time I get told the opposite a part of me immediately can’t accept it especially

i love the extras of dungeon meshi in how it fleshes out the world because they make it so much more evident how race affects every part of the story while avoiding the zootopia racism problem. like obv a main theme of the story is like, humanity and desire, 'to eat is to live', etc, but since the majority of it takes place in the dungeon isolated from society and thru the lens of laios, the racial aspects play out more like shadows on a wall for most of the story.

then in the extras we get comics like this

which at a glance fleshes out the racial aspects via a character explaining the racial rules of universe - humans have x amount of bones, while orcs and kobolds have more. however, if u take it less straightforwardly, it points out how the concept of 'human' is a constructed concept in the world. the fact that there are different categories of human in different parts of the world based off of what types of humanoids occur there is already a demonstration of this. in response, the bones explanation seems to kabru and the characters as an objective way of measuring humans vs nonhumans.

but obv, when the culture was deciding what humanoids were humans and nonhumans, they weren't blindly analyzing skeletons and then deciding. just visually, one can glean that orcs and kobolds look less like the ingroup of tallmen, elves, dwarves, gnomes, etc. the bones explanation appears as a justification for that immediate prejudice under a scientific guise - I'm sure that one could come up with the same number of physical differences between a gnome and an elf that they would find between a tallman and an orc. it sounds a lot better to say 'well, an orc has 230 bones while a human has 206' then 'well, an orc looks ewwww yucky yucky to me while a human looks normal'.

and what i like abt the comic is that the characters take the explanation at face value for the most part. when a contradiction is brought up in the oni, kabru can neatly slot them into the predetermined number of bones framework. bc that's kinda how it works irl - there r cultural prejudices that we can posthumously justify, and if we find something outside of it, we can twist it to fit into our predetermined binary. however, since the reader does not live in a world where there are orcs and kobolds to be prejudiced against, we can see that flaw in the cultural logic. when the party encounters the orcs, the number of bones has no bearing on their humanity. They r shown to be cliquish and distrusting of outsiders, but not any more than the elves are later in the story.

tldr dungeon meshi worldbuilding is so good

#just me #dungeon meshi #kabru #there r 10000000 examples of how fantasy racism affects the story of dungeon meshi not brought up in the main story #like namaris backstory and chilchucks union and the oni #augh. tasty manga #girls when themes of social isolation #ppl talk Abt the neurodivergent rep/allegory #the racial allegories aren't half bad either #social isolation guys social isolation

i was so happy that ganondorf was a character in totk when it was announced but now i am just sad about it honestly, i get that the older games had the trio as a good kids VS evil old guy thing, but i sincerely hoped that how much botw revolutionized(?) about the zelda principle in terms of gameplay they would now have the chance to do so, at least a little bit, in totk with the story

and then, as much as i like his design, hes again just an already very old evil guy that appeared out of nowhere for all we know that needs to be stopped by some kids/really young people and all the crumbs of personality or well ... not even crumbs but pure idea of a backstory we have to interpret into it all from things like manner of speech, animation and design elements bc all he does is some evil monologing that doesnt even serve well for interpretation

like, he was already so old when we first see him, what did he do all his life?? like even if he only turned aggressive once rauru founded this version of hyrule he had to have lived idk 50 years before that, was he just a regular leader of his people before that?? was he just .. some dude?? all we actually know is ... old evil guy shows up and attacks the perfect and good kingdom (tm) dont we? maybe some vague, arbitrary you denied me *generic villain thing like power, rule etc* line but thats it?

(i dont mind having to read between the lines, it can be very fun, but it also depends on if you are reading between lines and theres something intentionally left there or if you are trying really hard to see something but theres nothing actually there for you to find; to be clear, i also like creating your own ideas around stuff, but when you get to know some people from basically birth to their prime time and then theres a guy thats just there to be an endboss and even now in modern games doesnt get anything beyond a neat design and fun bossfight its just ... so flat?sad? i love interpeting but i also wouldnt mind to see something more for once ..)

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #totk #idk if this counts as a rant #and he can stay evil but i just want to see more for once!! #you are not born evil #also the way the other gerudo just disappear from everything as soon as he gets the stone is like #huh??? #did they never like him and abandoned him as soon as they could? #di HE not have ANY connection to ANYONE???? #the other gerudo are like in the moldora cutscene and the one where he -swears his loyality to hyrule that lasts like half an hour #and then never again?? #he goes oni mode and bam its only monsters now #and AGAIN we were aluded to that there would be more #with the trailer that showed him with other gerudos!! #i know alot of what was in the trailer didnt matter and got removed #but still #its like the intro that dangles in front of you the possibilty of zelda being your companion and exploring together only to yank it all awa #WOOP jokes on YOU there was never actually anything there!! haha you are dumb to let that get your hopes up LOL LMAO #chewing on wood #>:C

we need to stop characterizing misako as a terrible mom and instead hate dr julien for deadbeat and leaving echo in that damn lighthouse

#this is /hj cause i mean echo was written #after he was gone from the narrative so like. not his fault later seasons would make him look bad in retrospect #but also that’s interesting for angst purposes #ALSO I AM MISAKOS BIGGEST DEFENDER. #yeah abandoning lloyd was shitty but she CANONICALLY deeply regrets it and #was just trying to prevent lloyd from hating his dad and having to fight him #and then she dedicated her entire life after that to trying to save him from fighting him #OVERALL her story is SO MUCH more interesting when you consider how tragic it is #also ppl act like she and llpyd hate eachother for some reason which makes no fucking sense #canonically she and llpyd have a good relationship (a better one than post oni trilogy lloyd and garmadon…) #anyway. i love misako she would’ve loved never love an anchor by the crane wives #ok rant over thanks for coming to my ted talk #anyways #ninjago #lego ninjago #dr julien #misako #echo zane

My brain is entirely consumed by domestic AraSaka rn:

Saka is the cook. Ara likes to come up behind Saka and start hugging him, kissing him and distracting him from the stove. Saka ends up having to banish Ara to the kitchen table where he wilts until Saka comes to the table

Ara can be bribed into taking a shower every day, Saka just has to join him. Ara will never turn down wet naked time with Saka

Big spoon Ara. He loves hugging Saka and tangling their legs together while sleeping.

Do you ever think about how two people can take something literally and yet still have completely different interpretations

#thoughts #Oni talks #thinking abt this coz I was thinking about how when I ask a question to my buddy I mean it in a literal way but our definition of what is #the literal is different because we have slightly different perspectives on what the question points to #also how people can take something literally and yet that interpretation STILL requires certain assumptions #like what are your thoughts on x? they can read that as assuming your asking with the assumption they regularly think about it #whereas you might say it with the assumption that the question prompts them to think about it even if the answer is I don’t know #it also leaves room for neutral answers where as some people will ask you to specify to do you like x? instead despite those being different #bc yes liking something IS a thought about something but you don’t have to like or dislike something to have thoughts or interpretations #like a common thing is autistics taking things literally but I’ve found sometimes 2 autistics will BOTH be taking something literally #and yet they still but heads anyway. I feel like literal implies there’s only one interpretation but that’s not usually true especially if #something has a different definition depending on who you ask so they could be literal according to that definition but if the two ppl defin #x thing differently their perspective/interpretation is going to be wildly different & idk I think abt this a lot bc there’s often this like #they wish that people wouldn’t read into their words or would take something literally but are blind to when they do that themselves #or are blind to the concept that their version of literal is not the only version of literal also ppl take their assumptions and don’t #always realize they are making them and perceive themselves as not making assumptions or reading into it but they will still have some #version of that bc how you grow up you learn definitions or meanings for things and there’s the inherent assumption that meaning is constant #idk I just think abt this a lot. like oh say what you mean what if I am and you just think I mean something else bc of ur own bias?

I really really wish dreams were easier to understand/interpret

#thoughts #oni talks #oni vents #I keep having dreams/nightmares about repressed memories &/or memories in general or like investigations or smth #like my dreams will be point blank referencing something going so far as to literally tell me that in dream but either I don’t know what or #I don’t fully understand why? like some stuff is obvious and easy & usually I figure it out in dream or right after #but other times it’s just like ???? or it’s like I have some of the pieces but not all of them and I have no idea what picture I’m supposed #to be trying to put together for the puzzle either? sometimes dreams are just cool adventures with like messaging or processing #other times it’s memories and I can tell I’m in a memory but I either can’t tell which one or why or it’s like a hazy remix of several ? or #sometimes it’s like there’s someone else there with me guiding me through it? sometimes it’s like another me or a demon or a ghost or a god #I’ve also noticed a huge uptick in dreams/nightmares where it’s like I can tell the time period they come from and it’s been getting #like progressively younger? like I had some post grad then high school then middle #and then last sleeps one was elementary or younger maybe bits & pieces where I was slightly older? #I remember going through different places i lived in order to figure out my ideal living area but there was a memory block on one area #& I remember exploring like my childhood home & I know I was a kid because I was short and everything looked like it did when I was little #everything was bigger & I remember there was I think parties? & AU versions of my family some supernatural #ik there was an investigation w/ me & an Alt ver of my sis bc smth happened to both of us & it was like a whodunnit while a cooking comp was #sort of in the back ground? think iron chef but supernatural it went between that and parties where I was the only kid there so if I go #based on that there’s at least 2 maybe 3 hazy memories of parties my siblings had? 1 was in upstairs bathroom which was hazy but I remember #I was alone with this one girl in the bathroom at some point who I think later died if it’s the same girl & then the other one there’s hazy #memories of I think me showing one of my sisters friends around the basement? around the same area as the dream too #I also keep having dreams/nightmares of the same house ik I had one before where it was abt how me+siblings have ties there that will keep #leading us back & I think my dad was trying to sever it or fix it from the afterlife? I’ve had a lot of dreams about him & the house #he’s usually either dealing w/ smth there or stuck or needs my help or it’s just memories/easier there but occasionally he gets really creep #like I had a nightmare a while ago where he was this scary shadow man at the end of the basement hall I didn’t actually know if it was him #but bc dream logic I wanted it to be him so I ran towards him & it turned into an older version that wouldn’t have been there normally #also weird coz it’s normal to have nightmares abt certain members of my family but the recent one was very different than they normally are #I’m not usually as young like I’m often younger (sometimes older) but not usually that same feeling and time period #I think the last time I rmemeber having nightmares like that was when I WAS that age back when I used to have nightmares every night #+ ofc occasional sleep paralysis (thanks tonsils) it’s like my brain is trying to remember all the stuff I’ve blocked out over the years

I've decided the only reason Lloyd, known descendant of dragons, didn't tell this to Egalt, who refuses to train non-dragons, is for the same reason he never mentioned he's the First Spinjitsu Master's grandson. It just never came up. Nobody asked him directly about it. And besides, he's only like, one-fourth dragon, so does it really count? He doesn't look like a dragon, and he has never in his life considered himself a dragon. Mentioning his ancestry to Egalt probably would've just made him look like some hotshot, or make him more annoyed. There's no need to bring up such a silly little fact. He's sure it won't be important later.
