That omake of little Kabru not being able to show off his howetown sweets because of Misril gets to me a lot so...

Here's a happier Kabru (and Lairu)

#kabru #lairu #labru #laios #dungeon meshi #my art #my fanart #fanart #idk why i resort to fluffy fanart even tho i keep thinking and seeing gag/hornt lairu stuff #kabru is just so.. fascinating and actually endlessly tragic #i kinda like that ryoko kui doesnt try to over-explain or dramatize her characters that have tragic backstories. it makes her world that-#-much more believable and realistic. that being said i will devour more kabru stories from her #i kinda cant stop thinking abt kabru (and to an extent lairu)#ik in Lairu/Labru fanart Kabru is usually depicted as humorously in denial guy #but i see it everywhere and it made me think more of their more understanding phase in the epilogue #maybe laios is ooc here but i think he will also warm up to human connection now that he actually has people he cares abt around him #(and maybe because kabru is teaching him tips and trick to be a Normal Guy lmao)#im also not very good at humor so theres only so much i can do with gag lairu 😂

Now Traveling: Las Vegas, NV

Who doesn’t like traveling during the holiday season? Depending on which culture your holiday traditions stem from, this is the worst time of year to be traveling. Some cultures do this instead of the normal hullaballoo. As I am in a partnership now that is a combination of both cultures, I now squeeze in travel just before Christmas...

Tuesday 12/20: Left Cali around noon ish and did not get much traffic but way too many cops. Did a rest stop at Valley Wells and I love the desert landscape, its one of my favorites. When we got into town we went to Hash House A Go Go. 3 people split the chicken and waffles, and the eggs benedict. The portions are huge, do not order one plate per person. We then visited the new home builder sites, you know work trip...LOL. We stayed at the Palazzo this time, which is funny we finally ended up there for how often we stay elsewhere and walk over. The rooms are huge, you could easily share that with family or friends. The christmas decorations this year felt a little underwhelming. We ate at Grand Lux for dinner, and even their basic items like salads are excellent, but if you eat there go for the beef wellington. Drove to other hotels to walk around and see the other holiday decorations. There is a new ish hotel called Resort World by Hyatt and they had a cute hallmark holiday walk through experience. It was cold, but if you bundled up it was alright. After we went to Fremont St, for the Fremont Street Experience. How that got...trashier...I could not tell you. Finally got some sleep. I always find it hard to sleep in something other than my bed.

Wednesday 12/21: The next morning we went to Bellagio Conservatory to see the years christmas display. I was worried because other people in our group had said all they did was get a live 40 foot tree and really, it was probably the best display seen on the trip. Truly the bellagio could not disappoint. And it was kind of nice to see the displays being freshened up and worked on too. After went to Grand Lux in the Venetian. Parking in the Palazzo is much better than parking in the Venetian. Grand Lux for breakfast, I love the French Toast. It truly is the best french toast I have ever eaten. A good french toast is a mixture of good bread and good mix. I find often places get one or the other right, but never both. Walked breakfast off at the Aria after. Aria is one of the new ish hotels on the strip, and I personally prefer the hotels with better themes or personalities (ya know the older ones). They had a not bad christmas display in previous years, this years was not as good. We had a couple of $50 free plays, from myKonami, and used them at Bellagio, Aria, and New York New York. Most of the gabmling was not good, but Deal or No Deal saved our butts LOL. We went to Gelato Bar after, it is one of the few places I like to eat Gelato (when I am not in Italy). There is a whole world off the strip that more people should explore. We wanted to go to the Pinball Hall of Fame, which last time we went to it was relocating so we helped sponsor the relocation and I thought my name was going on a wall? But we were tired so went back to rest. Had lunch at Grand Lux, it is owned by the people who run The Cheesecake Factory. Dinner was Cleaver, an off strip steak house. For the fact that there was 11 other people besides myself...we basically tried the whole menu. Nothing was a bad time.

Thursday 12/22: The final day started with packing and putting the bags in the car, then heading to Bouchon. It is a wonderful french food experience. Their pastries are excellent, and really the food is still quite good. Over the years I have seen the menu change but it is still very good. The rest of the group wanted to have a buffet experience, and honestly there are not many buffets that made it out of COVID. So walk over to the Wynn we go. The wynn had pretty good stuff, nothing really new, but it felt very classic christmas to me overall in Vegas this year. If you are going to do a buffet, do it early or get a reservation. The line for standby was at least an hour long. Once we got the rest of the group in, we left for Cali. We made a pit stop in the original Del Taco in Barstow. I have been going to Del Taco for sooo long, but the experience at the OG one was amazing. It may have ruined my local del taco experience. The recipe is so different, I had a taco burger! And a tamale! Since we left Vegas around noon, it was almost 6 when we made it back between stops and traffic.

The only constant in the world is change and its funny to see how Vegas has changed. Price have gone up, but the classic christmas trend is almost a conservative jump back that you can see reflected in society. Travelling is a strange way to enjoy the holidays, but it is not all bad!

Prompt:

Instead of going for Tim, Jason goes for the easiest way to utterly destroy his Replacement and kidnaps his civilian boyfriend to demonstrate just how easy it is to lose something (or someone) you love in this line of work.

And while the whole “make the Replacement beg” part of the plan is going amazing…. Jason really didn’t plan the whole “keeping a conspiracy theorist teenager hostage” through to the end.

Bernard just wants to know what the new crime lord’s deal with Robin is. And why— and how— exactly he’s supposed to be a bargaining chip when he can count the times he met Robin on one hand. oh! and could someone maybe tell his boyfriend, Tim, that he’ll be late for their coffee date on Tuesday?

something something when the facade of western "democracy" continues to crumble, liberals are faced with the choice of either abandoning the systems that facilitate genocide, theft, exploitation, racism, etc. or resort to old habits that do nothing to seriously challenge or dismantle said systems... inevitably many will fall back on focusing on optics/aesthetics and hyper-individualizing their approach to combat their feelings of helplessness etc. and/or to avoid confronting the systems in place that have led to this moment (which they are most comfortable in, because liberalism never truly changes the systems in place)

the problem is not, never has been, and never will be the *tone* or *conduct* of palestinians (in occupied palestine or the diaspora); the obstacles in the way of peace&liberation are not from palestinians or palestinian resistance but the continuation of colonialism, the maintenance of which is inherently violent and oppressive. the people responsible for the genocide going into its 4th month are not palestinians who liberals want to tone police but the u.s. empire and its glorified military base settler colony, whose existence is founded + depends upon the genocide and ethnic cleansing of palestinians.

#in other words. liberals shut UP.#tone policing the ones whose people are being subjected to genocide is just #straight up racist. and fucking shitty. and stupid. and not going to fix anything.#this has already been said but idk it just breaks my brain #liberals w a genuine interest in justice and change may be having their world views shattered right now #but i PROMISE that resorting to tactics typical of liberalism (focusing on optics rather than actual substance and structural change)#is not going to get u anywhere except for needlessly harrassing the ppl suffering the most right now (palestinians).

After watching this first two episodes of the Percy Jackson Disney+ show, my main takeaway (outside of Percy taking on THREE Ares kids with no training and not even being wet) is that Luke was done so, so well.

The actor EMBODIES him. Even before I saw him acting, one picture was enough to convince me that this man WAS Luke, despite looking nothing like him. His friendship with Percy feels so much stronger. I'm already feeling the devastation from the inevitable betrayal. Just. He's so well done.

#Percy Jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson disney+#luke castellan #Also kinda mad about how they wrote Annabeth #She didn't even tell him to guard the area #She just said stand here and left him with no instructions #Spoilers #pjo tv show #pjo series #percy jackson series #percy jackson show #Also Sally Jackson was done really well #And something about the diverse casting really brought the world to life for me #Maybe because with all caucasian actors it feels like another world for me #Because I don't see caucasian people on a daily basis #In fact the first time I ever saw them was this summer at a resort #And then it felt so weird #Because obviously I KNOW people can look like this #But I've never seen it in real life before #It was sorta like a “oh my gosh people can look that soft???”#Cause most Arabs have sharper and harder features than caucasian people

i think mostly we as a culture need to stop pretending media is for us and instead recognize that it's for the people making it. "the show didn't do the thing I wanted it to" is so not the point. did it do what the people making it wanted it to do? did it tell the story they were trying to tell? than it was successful. if that doesn't align with what you wanted to happen, don't get up in arms about it. don't badmouth the creators and throw a tantrum. that's what fan works are for. the text is the text, and it told the story it was telling. you wouldn't be like "ugh shakespeare is insane for act v btw like there was no reason for juliet to kill herself she should've just waited and then her and romeo could have been together wtf this ruined the whole play" like no!!! the themes were there the set-up was there the foreshadowing was there shakespeare did what he intended to. just because it wasn't a happy ending and just because you thought it should've went differently doesn't mean it was bad. read a fic where juliet lives and move on.

#this is about ghosts but honestly fandom in general #stop pretending the creators of things owe you certain story lines. they're making it not you #i explained it like this to my sister:#imagine you're reading a book and there are sort of hints and scenes that you take to interpret a character as gay #you cite quotes and talk about the themes and the impact of your interpretation #and then at the end of the book the character comes out as asexual.#and then a lot of those scenes and quotes that you were using as evidence for your interpretation-#now they could be construed to have been pointing towards them being ace all along #just because it wasnt the end you fabricated in your head based on your understanding of the hints #doesn't mean it wasnt always the writers plan from the beginning.#AND it doesnt mean you can't keep imagining a world where they're gay instead #it just means that the writer was leaving those clues to point you towards the ending #and you interpreted the clues differently #bbc ghosts #ghosts spoilers #bc like. if last resort was the ending #you could 'read' the whole series with the understanding that they weren't going to leave the house #and the foreshadowing would add up #but now with the special. you can go back and 'read' the series with the understanding that they leave #and it still all adds up. the foreshadowing was there it just meant something different than you thought.#stories have beginnings middles and ends #you predetermined the ending while still in the middle and got mad when you weren't right.#does that make sense?

i always really love how wyll is so steadfast with his moral compass and principles. that no matter how much he loves you, he can and will leave, because his duty to defend the people always comes first.

i also think about how he learned that from his father. how that lesson was driven in when he signed a warlock pact with a devil at 17 and his father banished him for it.

no doubt wyll knows his father loves him, but he also believes his father was right to banish him. wyll took that lesson to heart but his exile didn't turn him jaded or bitter. he's still the same wyll who loves love songs and heroes stories. he has so much love to give and it shows!

but when you, the player, commit incredibly heinous crimes, wyll remembers what his father has said and done. he remembers that no matter how much you love the person, there's still a fine line between right and wrong, and it is not a line that the ravengards willingly cross.

#.txt #wyll #wyll ravengard #like yeah he will help you out if he knows you're willing to help yourself #he doesnt doubt that you can be a good person despite being a bhaalspawn or a vampire or whatever #but he also wont hesitate to do the right thing even if it means having to kill you. thats his last resort. thats his mercy #you are not more important than the people of the sword coast #he will not damn the world for you #and i think thats beautiful!!!!!!!#sorry im brainrotted abt him #*

Yall, its time to ramble about visual/environmental storytelling cause this is silly article is driving me insane.

I won't argue for if the game should have had more constant and involved cutscenes like Robobot or Star Allies, but what I will say is that this game is VERY rich in story through the world design. The Forgotten Land as opposed to say the Land of the Sky in TD or the entire galaxy of Star Allies is like, DROWNING in writing and narrative. It builds so much mystery and intrigue through the theming of every world and even individual levels, with exploring both how the people of the land originally lived and how it's being reclaimed by nature and the animals.

I think the closest things maybe is Robobot and Halcandra in RTDL, the former having great little designs that key you into WHAT Haltmann is doing and what makes it so toxic. Halcandra though is the ultimate grand-daddy, the contrast between it and the Lor, and Egg Engines and Dangerous Dinner is full of theming and clues about the nature and history of the planet. AND THAT IS STORY, THAT IS WRITING! Especially when compared to say Star Allies, where most of the levels of the levels are just ye average Kirby themed fluff with little to say about the Jamba or the state they've left the galaxy in. But when you play through the casino levels of Robobot, as well as delightful theming and level design, you see that Haltmann is erecting literally the most predatory entertainment centers imaginable. When you step off the sleek futuristic Lor into the scrapyards and wastes of Halcandra, you get fun intimidating final worlds, and a good grasp on *why* the people who made the Lor aren't around anymore, and may even start questioning why Magolor made such a great fuss of dragging you to this horrible place. Music is also deeply important to this storytelling. Each of the factories/towers erected in ever world of Robobot's theme is a remix usually of themes related to older mechanical levels, subtly clueing you into where Haltmann go their technology from. Outside the Lor rather than the comfortable motif of Green Greens is this almost comically suspicious and disoriented theme once you're stuck on Halcandra and returning to Magolor with more doubts about his words. The final level inside of the volcano house a theme that is teasing the twist to come, and the theme for fighting Landia before the big reveal is less triumphant, and more majestic and pensive. Possibly trying to evoke more hesitance than confidence, even if most people wouldn't catch on to that on a first run.

But the cooler thing, is that while Robobot has this cool theming at key levels, and RtDL does at the end, this type of shit is pervasive ALL throughout Forgotten Land. Every world and nearly every level is a unique, well thought-out set piece! You get to see abandoned towns, cities, malls, stores, factories, resorts, and an amusement park, each which serves as more than just a fun location, but a clear picture of the world and the state its in. This intent is made clearer through the music and tone that goes out of its way to not highlight the destruction of these areas but their beauty, wonder, and mystery through the eyes of an clueless animals and our favorite pink alien. The abandoned Alivel Malls theme is a track as upbeat and peppy as what must've played over it's speakers in it's hayday, because the hustle and bustle breathed back into it by the animals and Kirby just exploring this mysterious complex is just as lively. The theme of the Everbay Coast is peaceful and sunny despite the Holine ruins because it's as part of the scenery to the animals and Kirby as the picturesque palms and sands. And Wondaria!!!!!!!!! OMG WONDARIA WHERE TO EVEN BEGIN WITH EVERY FUCKING LEVEL AND THEME IN WONDARIA!!! THIS IS WHY I CAN'T TAKE THAT CLAIM SERIOUSLY - y'know when I cried at Forgotten Land? In world 3. Not because of a cutscene or a line of dialogue, but just from the sheer emotion the setting evoked in me. The sweet, laid-back, starry-eyed wonder that it expressed from Kirby mixed with my own sense of nostalgia being aware of what that place was, and how beautiful it was to see it rediscovered and adored by Kirby and the animals of the Forgotten Land. It evokes such a strong feeling of bittersweetness, of existential dread comforted by the knowledge that the simple joys and memories we create places like amusement parks to share will continue on as long as there is life in the world. And unlike some of my musings about past games, this was explicitly intentional. What truly brought the tears to my eyes was remembering an interview where the devs were explaining how they were trying to keep the tone light and Kumazaki said specifically they wanted to evoke peace and beauty rather than loss.

LIKE THIS IS WRITING! This is storytelling, this is intention. It's just subtle, but not at all unimportant, and it ties into the more overarching plot. It raises the question constantly of where the people went that is answered by Forgo, and expresses the dichotomy between the simple innocence of the animals compared to the ambitions of the people who abandoned them and that is now possessing their leader. It creates stakes for Elfilis and Forgo's intentions to destroy everything so beautiful and pure about the current world, but as it absolves the current world of guilt, it puts into perspective JUST HOW LONG Forgo must have been locked away that things changed so much. And as softly as the exploits of the original people are portrayed by the game, knowing their treatment of Eliflis and Forgo as a thing of entertainment and tool for innovation is sickening placed in contrast with it. Like back to Wondaria, the way it shows how much space travel must have pervaded the imagination and escapism of the people either before or after Forgo's arrival is insanely smart. And it gives me chills in the best way seeing Kirby run around images of cartoon aliens from a civilization who would never meet him. Of Kirby, Elfilin, and Bandana sticking their head into a cardboard cutout of an astronaut meeting an alien, with the text "wish you were here" above in a script they don't even understand. A SCRIPT THE WRITERS MADE FOR THIS GAME SO THAT THEY COULD ADD MESSAGES LIKE THAT INTO THE WORLD FOR KEEN PLAYERS TO NOTICE AND MAKE CONNECTIONS. Like it's insane. The dedication the Hal Labs has to stuff like this is maddening! It's so sweet and heartfelt and crafty, I'm so pissed off how little respect it gets because people don't understand visual storytelling!!!!! Saying Forgotten Land is light on story is preposterous, it might just be one of the most finely crafted stories the series has had to date, and is just a really solid piece of science fantasy writing in general honestly. It is packed with environmental storytelling that drives me Up The Fucking Wall, Man.
