I think a huge part of why I like Nick so much is that you meet him and he’s pretty much instantaneously willing to do anything for you. He’s willing to literally lobotomize a dead man for you and THEN he’s willing to potentially die or get all his data corrupted or whatnot just so you can look through Kellogg’s memories. He does all this without expecting to even be paid. I mean it’s definitely concerning how little he looks after himself because I think he should probably have had at least a few more reservations about all that but boy, did it make me love him. The world is new and scary and wrecked but there’s a guy who you just met willing to die for you, willing to do anything for you to get your son back and willing to stick around long after that.

#fo4 #fallout 4 #nick valentine #i really do think its a crime that you can't romance him without mods i mean Come On #i feel like nick and the sole survivor have more chemistry than sole does with a bunch of the Actual romance candidates #and part of that i think is that 1. he's involved in a Lot of quests which gives you more time to get attached #and more time for you to get a grasp on his personality #and 2. being what i talked about in the post here. if youre playing the main quest he's literally one of the first main character you meet #and is SO ride or die for you. #*characters #and also the Parallels but yknow

This is just the late night talking, but I miss legends!Chiss fandom. Everyone who hasn’t read stuff like the Thrawn duology or Survivor’s Quest is seriously missing out (and if you haven’t read Outbound Flight, are you REALLY engaging in the full Thrawn Experience?). Not to mention the fact that legends has some of the best Thrawn content out there.

#Thrass #thrawn #chiss #ar’alani #for real #guys #I’m begging you #Ar’alani and Thrass are there! #tho if you’re a Thrass lover you may not like Survivor’s Quest XD #also #STENT #STENT IS THERE #and he is glorious #he had so much love on tumblr only a few years ago :’) #and no Thrawn is not an evil nasty bastard in it #if that’s what you’re afraid of

going through the comments section on follower mods (specifically Gore) has me wanting to hit some folks over the head with a shovel

#yaz yaks #that one guy going off about gore and remi and mirabelle?? that gore should have a quest where he gets together with her?? #also his whole response to Gore being a CSA survivor was truly horrific #then there's people demanding patches for this or that and being so fuckin RUDE about it #or offering 'suggestions' about how they think the character could be better (re: more in line with their preferences) #also people just....... are so confused about gore's questline?? and apparently don't fuckin read anything on his mod page?? #i want to grab them by the shoulders and rattle them like a maraca yelling “READ THE FUCKIN DESCRIPTION OF WHAT YOU'RE DOWNLOADING” #“CHECK THE ARTICLES TABS” #“CHECK THE COMMENTS IF THERE'S OTHER FOLKS WITH THE SAME QUESTION” #“CHECK THE BUGS TAB” #“CHECK YOUR OWN LOAD ORDER” #like pls i live in constant fear of being That Person when leaving comments so I always check everything possible on my end #how are these people able to just be like “hey ur mods broken and sucks” so shamelessly

Bi-Han & Shang Tsung

One of the parallels I like about Bi-Han and Shang Tsung from previous timelines is the reputation vs reality of their life. Both were recognized as very talented, cunning and dangerous people in various source material, yet both were also servants

each were even praised for job well done by their superiors, the Grandmaster and Shao Kahn respectively

yet if they failed at their task, the leaders they served would not show them mercy

and I won’t lie, this parallel influences a lot my idea of Bi-Han, Shang Tsung and their relationship because they both balance on a very thin line between performing their duties perfectly and failure that brings dire consequences. But also how deprived of delusion about their situation they must be which gives an interesting contrast between those two and other characters (for example, despite everything that happened, Kuai Liang very often talks about Lin Kuei honor while Bi-Han barely uses that word in regard to himself or the clan). And yet both Bi-Han and Shang Tsung have an independence streak.

At the same time, there is something to say that the powerful sorcerer is more enslaved than an assassin. No one leaves Lin Kuei, but Bi-Han at least was implied by the original first Mortal Kombat game he could retire from the assassin life:

With his mission accomplished, Sub-Zero will collect this fortune and retire from his dangerous profession.

while there is no chance that Shang Tsung could just resign and look for another job - and, as the games indicate, he can only gain freedom after the death of his master(s).

Which is one of reasons Bi-Han and Shang Tsung get along so well in my head.

#mortal kombat #shang tsung #bi han #sub zero #bi han and shang tsung #the two cunning people and survivors above everything else #noob saibot and shang tsung are even more similar on the quest to get control over their life and events #shang tsung has a great power above others as shao kahn's right hand but he still was killed without second thought #once sindel was brought back to alive

My sweetheart of a husband made a custom, Empire of the Hand stand for my Mara Jade figurine!

It suits her perfectly <3

#Mara Jade #Empire of the Hand #Star Wars Legends #I wish she had taken Admiral Parck up on his “job offer” after “Survivor's Quest” #Luke was even willing to come along. #Mara Jade/Luke Skywalker #Yeah Rebel hero Luke Skywalker was willing to join a new (better) empire if that's what Mara wanted #That's how much he loved her #Disney's so stupid for forgetting that and forgetting her

Preston Garvey haters just don't understand. The reason he's annoying about the settlements is because the work is never done. There's always people to save and shit going wrong.

Also, if you were barely surviving and got saved by one of the most badass people who'd ever lived, wouldn't you also bother the fuck out of them when you found out people were in trouble?

#Preston Garvey #Yes yes I know the actual reason is Bethesda sucks bla bla bla but it adds to his character if you just think about it #Like it kind of makes me wish other good characters like Valentine and Piper bugged you more about random quests. #Or maybe if all of them bugged you but for different stuff #Like sole survivor is so op and itd be cool if the npcs actually acknowledged and bugged you about more random shit #Fallout 4

It’s much more of a ya novel than a children’s movie but if you enjoyed Nimona may I HEARTILY reccomend “Tess of the road” by Rachel Hartman. It’s a medieval fantasy with some serious bite and heft that takes a deep, deep dive into rape culture and misogyny and cycles of violence, there’s a canonically gender-fluid main character, and the writing is beautiful and unique and both profoundly enraged and deeply hopeful and kind!

The ending genuinely surprised me.

I had several theories throughout the game as to where the story was going with Tanalorr.

1) Nobody goes to Tanalorr (because the final compass is destroyed, or the compass or the arrays malfunction after not being used in such a long time or because the Abyss has changed in 200 years, or because Cal simply decides it’s not worth the bloodshed). Tanalorr remains an unreachable, quasi-mythical place and becomes a representation of the characters’ hopes and dreams that they give up on and eventually replace with a smaller goal (say, keeping the outpost safe and thriving).

2) The crew does go to Tanalorr, but it’s disappointing. Either because in the 200 years since Dagen went there it turned into a wasteland, or it has since been settled by hostile forces (Nihil remnants?) or because the Empire follows them there immediately. The crew returns to the galaxy they know and, again, pick a smaller goal (say, keeping the outpost safe and thriving).

3) The crew does go to Tanalorr and it’s exactly what they wanted, a lush world full of life, a beautiful, peaceful place for everyone who survived to live happily ever after, free of the Empire.

Never, ever would I have guessed they would go with #3! I mean, Tanalorr can still turn out to be ultimately disappointing in a sequel, but it’s a win for the crew and a happy ending for now (as happy as any ending can be with Cere and Eno Cordova gone and Kata having had to go through that).

It was hard for me to believe that the game would actually give Cal what he wanted, when it seemed to me that every NPC in the outpost was giving Cal the same advice: “get out while you can”, “be happy with what you have”, “don’t set your hopes too high”. At the point that I was really picking up on this, Skoova got to the part in his fish story in which he returned home from pursuing a whale (!) only to find his home destroyed in his absence, which only seemed to confirm my assumption that Tanalorr was, metaphorically speaking, going to end up being a White Whale.

At that point I was expecting to hear “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” by the Rolling Stones to play over the credits.

"Get out while you still can” is one of the major themes of the game. This is the underlying goal of finding Tanalorr. Fighting the Empire was destroying Cal. For pretty much the entirety of the game, Cal is not well. He is angry, vengeful even, and so sad. He gets kicked, shot, stabbed. He has panic attacks. His friends die. He needs a break.

And then a map shows up that supposedly leads to a place only ever spoken of in myth, hidden in a deadly nebula that cannot be reached without an item of which only one remains?

I immediately understood Cal’s excitement for Tanalorr, but I was sure I was going to see him get his heart broken yet again, because Tanalorr simply sounded too good to be true.

But no. Just for once, the hero gets not only what he wants (mythical fix-it-all paradise planet), but also exactly what he needs (a break!).

It turns out, the things Cal needed to let go of are the Order and his pain (easier said than done when the game keeps throwing ever new kinds of pain at him). His hopes and dreams are fine. He gets to keep them.

And isn’t that the best ending one could wish for?
