Arakawa was really like, what if this story had a guy that wanted to be the next ruler of his country. And he is supported in this quest by his stoic female bodyguard and childhood friend. She has this foxy gray-haired grandfather with an impressive moustache, who also supports and helps him, mainly behind the scenes.
and she added that to fma, twice.

actually I love Witchers but modern, especially funny if monsters are critical to ecosystems/endangered. you get off trail in a national park and suddenly some weird dude is sprinting towards you like STOP, IN THE NAME OF THE CONSERVATION ACT- and it turns out you’re in the dirt bathing grounds of the winged fucktail or something

not to keep star wars posting, but I keep seeing a lot of posts talking about how Hunter didn't clock the shadow clone operative but Batcher did, and other things talking about his super senses not really being used much this season.
And it makes me think, I wonder if his senses are only as good as his mental health?
cuz i've seen a lot of older stuff (like s1 theories/posts) that talk about Hunter's senses being overwhelmed by exterior sensory stuff and him not being able to use his senses as well, and I wonder if his internal problems/mental health are stopping him from doing his job as well.
Because even with Omega back, he still is very stressed out and during the shadow clone scene, he had just figured out Omega was a target so that probably added more stress to what he was already dealing with.
Between season 2 and 3, Hunter had to deal with his grief and emotions, mourning both Tech and losing Omega. And I also think Echo being gone didn't help.
And there's only so much Wrecker could do to help him, and Hunter seems the type to not tell Wrecker what's wrong or let him help.
Hunter "losing" his abilities checks out for this season, what with Crosshair also having trouble with his own ability. Seems like everything is catching up to the Batch and they're going to have to start relying on more than their abilities.
Just a thought, idk.

One of my favorite things about Twice Dead King is how effectively it flips the script on the human vs the alien. Humanity becomes the existential terror descending from the stars, near infinite in number and unstoppable in its desire to destroy. It can't be negotiated with, there's too many to fight, all our protags can do is run and hope humanity doesn't catch them (but in the end it will always catch them). These books may be the root of my resentment for the "humans are the main characters of 40k" thing. Because you can tell such effective stories where we aren't the main character. Where we are the alien, and where we see ourselves as the monster.

Family friend, who’s a priest, enters the house. He hasn’t even been in here for 10 seconds and me and my brother rush up to him.
Me: OK, we have a question.
Brother: If there are conjoined twins who are both married, if they were to have sex with their spouse, would that be sinful? Because, that’s, like, a four way, or a three way.
Him: *leans up against the wall in contemplation* …. That is.. a question.

Been seein some rather cold takes about Daisy lately…
I’ve seen some people say that she has no personality outside of fanon, but that’s just not true. There is a very very common misconception among the fandom (at least that I’ve noticed) that if a character doesn’t appear in a “mainline” game, then they have no personality. But I’d argue that the spinoffs actually offer waaaaay more in terms of looking into character personalities. And no, I’m not talking about the RPGs ala M&L and Paper Mario as those are obviously full of personality (and Daisy isn’t in those). I’m talking about the Party, Kart, Tennis, and other sports games.
Yes, Daisy hasn’t appeared in any mainline game since her debut, but she’s been in nearly every sports game and her traits, stats, abilities, victory/loss animations, and various other tiny details add up to her personality. The fact that she’s nearly always yelling or just speaking really loud in general (noticeably more than any other character), the fact that she constantly feels a need to say her name and make herself known, how she loves flowers and considers even a small patch of flowers worth protecting, how she’s easily bored by tasks that don’t excite her and isn’t so reliable for them. She tends to jump around a lot, and spin and dance around when she’s excited! She’s apparently a rather fast runner and that is considered her specialty! These are all traits that are displayed in the spinoffs, and there’s probably soooo many more that I just can’t remember right now.
Now, I do think her tomboyish nature is probably fanon, as I don’t really remember seeing anything to show that she acts that way in the games. I think people probably think she’s tomboyish due to how loud and energetic she is. But hey, there’s plenty of fanon for just about any character from any fandom out there. And what’s so wrong with that? Isn’t the whole point of making fanworks to expand on the framework already provided by canon? If we want to stick to what’s actually “canon” then nearly everything the fandom has created would have to be tossed, because there really isn’t much to work with. Fanworks and fandoms thrive on what fans can create based on the canon work, not just sticking to it perfectly.
It’s fine if you think the “fanon” Daisy outshines the “canon” Daisy and you dislike that. But to say that she has no personality aside from fanon interpretations just tells me that you have a very narrow idea of what counts as “canon” in an already rather simplistic world. The Mario games are very simple and straightforward without much consistent lore that actually makes sense cohesively, but the characters are what keep everything tied together despite that. The characters are nearly always consistent, and that includes Daisy. Even when the setting is completely different and some random new villain shows up with some random new power source to steal or species to torment, our same well-known lovable characters will be the center of the story and that’s what makes it fun!
