I realized that people don’t always agree on how to spread information abt someone.
I know that when artists release new albums opinions will always be flying wild for the first month or so about whether or not it’s trash. Same goes for other media but this is the first I thought of.
Some people may say the media is trash bc they genuinely don’t like it, but I know that some people hate on it because the artist themself is doing/has done something wrong before, and as a response to it, they hate on their creation.
I personally have no big opinion toward the action of hating on art, it’s a very messy thing that can be influenced by a lot of different factors. But my main concern is that not everybody knows why people hate on it (in the instance that the artist is doing/did smthn bad)
They go in the comments saying the usual “this goes hard on mute” and other things and only when people reply asking “why you hating so much?” Do they give their explanation that the artist is a bad person/spreading awareness.
I know people have different methods of spreading awareness about smthn, but I think that this is one of the most flawed. If you send comments over and over saying the same talk and only giving reason when asked, you’re not really (effectively) spreading awareness anymore. People will just see you as that one person on the internet that finds a way to hate everything.
just sending a simple post or comment on how the artist themself is bad, being blunt and up-front, does more than repeated criticism on the artists work imo. If you’re going to repeat criticism, do it on the person, not the art.
this was just a thought I had.
Feel free to out in your own input, I’m open to diff perspectives, but please don’t be ruthless lol. like if I’m wrong let me down slowly I’m still learning a lot of things bc I am disconnected from the outside world lmao.

FUUUUUUUUUUUCKing hell theyre gonna kiss today????
Tumblr media
hes so grumpy already I love this so much
the silent conversations chain and toey are having with their eyes oml I cant
Tumblr media
pls this is so funny
theyre both deeply in love with someone else so it's jsut so unnatural to them
BUT ALSO id like to mention that the first thing chain did when he had to pretend to be hitting on toey was put his arm around his shoulders and rest his hand there. which is what he's literally ALWAYS doing with pun, no matter when it is, he's always standing next to pun with his hand resting on one of his shoulders
its like he associates his time with pun as being in a romantic relationship 👀
Tumblr media
THESE FUCKIN BASTARDS 😭
JUST KISS IM BEGGING YOU
Tumblr media
theyre lost in their own little world 🥺
kiIIIIIS
this is too funny, the cuts from "chain. chain what happened next." to ✨soulful dramatic guitar music✨
im sad they didnt actually kiss but also im not surprised
Tumblr media
LOOK AT THEM, DUDE
THEYRE SO NATURAL WITH EACH OTHER
I FUCKIN LOVE FRIENDS TO LOVERS SO SO MUCH
half convinced theyre already dating, they just cant be bothered saying anything so theyre waiting for others to ask them about it
PUN IS SO CUTE DUDE I ADORE HIM HES FUCKING ADORABLE
Tumblr media
I LOVE THEM SO FUCKING MUCH THEYRE SOIMPORTANT TO ME
if I ever have a romantic partner, this is what I want
I cant explain it, I just wanna run up to them with pure joy and excitement, and for them to hold me back by just pushing against my skull
it just seems perfect, idk why
Tumblr media
GB4JHERGB
Tumblr media
THE FRIENDSHIP OF ALL TIME
genuinely think I might be more invested in their friendship than all the romantic relationships in this show
Tumblr media
im fucking CRYING
Tumblr media
my king matt, this was so unnecessary and I love everything about it
Tumblr media
why does it suit him so well tho
they should kiss again I think
Tumblr media
I feel everything about this image on a spiritual level
THIS ENTIRE AMUSEMENT PARK SEQUENCE BRINGS ME SO MUCH JOY AND DOPAMINE IM IN LOVE WITH THSI EPUSODE
NEW COMFORT EPISODE UNLOCKED
Tumblr media
look its really funny but I do feel bad cos this day is not even a little bit fun for him
like q is having a complete shit time
poor chain doesn't love amusement parks but he has to go on the rides with toey to keep up the facade cos toey loves these rides 😭
and its even worse realising Q also seems to love amusement parks, so he would be having a fucking amazing time if he could just go on all the rides next to Q cos they both love it so much 😭😭
Tumblr media
fuckin FINALLY
Tumblr media
LMAO WHAT
Tumblr media
THIS IS SO FUCKING FUNNY I JUST SCREECHED WITH LAUGHTER SO LOUD AND ITS MIDNIGHT
THE PURE COMICAL SHOCK AS HE REALISDE WHAT HE SAID, THE EXCITEMENT FROM EVERYONE ELSE AS THEYR EALISE WHAT HE SAID
I mean to be fair it was REALLY obvious
im surprised no one noticed earlier but also its a bl so im not at all surprised to find out theyre all fuckin dumbasses
SERIOUSLY THO TANFANG IS WHAT I WANT IN A RELATIONSHIP HOLY SHIT
a lot of the time watching bls ill be like "I want that" but its usually as a joke
but THIS?? the fucking adhd bastard (me) who just wants to be near their partner and compliment and always stimming and just having a swell fucking time while the other one loves them but is mildly tired but also in adoration? FUCKIN GIMME
Tumblr media
also how the fuck has Q not realised, theyre all so fucking obvious
also also I cant explain it it just feels deeply as though pun and chain are for real dating they just havent told anyone yet
ill make a post about it all at some point maybe (I definitely wont)
Tumblr media
PHYSICAL TOUCH IS HIS LOVE LANGUAGE 😭😭😭
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH HE DOESNT HAVE TO HOLD HIM SECRETLY ANYMORE THEY CAN JUST WALK HAND IN ARM NATURALLY NOW
Tumblr media
hear me out tho, this gets even funnier if he's actually already in a committed relationship that no one knows about yet
I dont think it's secret dating, it's just 'not super obvious dating to try and see JUST how oblivious all our friends are. its been three years at this point and still no one's said anything. we're starting to lose all hope.'
Tumblr media
I love tan so much, the little wave
Tumblr media
what the FUCK
Tumblr media
what the FUCK FUCK???
THE SOUNDWIN LINE????
HERE IT IS ITS FUCKIN COMIN GUYS
Tumblr media
HE SAID IT
HE FUCKIN SAID IT
[insert that gif of the crowd of people in the bar going insane]
holy fucking shit dude holy fucking shit
my legs are literally shaking idk if I can do this
Tumblr media
FUCK TO THE YES, FUCKING EXPLICIT ASK FOR CONSENT HOLY FUCKING SHIT
Tumblr media
WHAT THE FUCK
AND THE FUCKING SONG IN THE BACKGROUND !!!!
Tumblr media
HOLY FUCKING SHIT DUDE
im gonna be here all day
I dont even need to watch the rest of the episode now
I can just go to bed if I want and watch the rest later or smth
Tumblr media
dude I cant wait for q to realise that toey is milk frappe guy
HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT JUST PROCESSED IN MY MIND THAT THEY KISSED
WHAT THE FUCK
omg making out in a haunted house, what a dream
the workers watching on the security cameras probably had a blast that day
how funny would it be if there'd been a scare actor in the shadows in that room with them and they'd been about to scare them but they were too shocked with that tender kiss to remember they have a job
Tumblr media
he needs to lie on his bed and just stare at his roof and think about that for a while
tbh same
Tumblr media
look at him 🥺 he's so lost in that memory
thEY FUCKIN MADE OUT HOLY FUCK
welp on that note I think im done for now
I might finish the ep with my silly thoughts+screenshots later but for now tis the time for sleep

you know what. fuck it im getting autistic on main
C!DREAM AS JH/ARIAH SONGS. (read under the cut!!)
starting with THE MOST fitting one!!
who's eye is it anyway is so him it is insane. it's so post-vault dream in the imprisoned sam era. 'an eye for an eye'. literally. like literally an eye for an eye i need everyone to hear how much this fits c!dream.
i'd have to paste all the lyrics in i'm not doing that. all of them fit. listen to it you'll see what i mean
THSI ONE. FITS SO WELL.
Is it really a complex or just lacking context? Why would someone go so far to be a walking lie? Yeah, that don't sound like me I don't think I'm that guy (enter beginner's guide)
c!dream being severely misunderstood, lacking in context, a walking lie that he went as far as he possibly could for. you see it right
That I would lose (needed a change of pace) Oh, I would lose Between my left and right, one day I'd have to choose (gone without a chance) He found the man before him had died
first of all these are lyrics from BAD LUCK!! which is the most discduo song ever. second only to want you gone from portal 2.
second of all 'gone without a chance' 'he found the man before him had died' do i even.
the abandonment of himself in the haste of his mission.
Slow down Those words mean nothing My brain just revs up faster Pressure bomb in a goddamn knife fight Ecstatic pathways runaway flood my mind Overstimulation makes me feel like I'm alive
Static that's keeping me up It drives me forward every moment Makes sure I don't stop too long to Smell the flowers I been here too long I might Burn up and explode
I get in the way of myself And it hurts to admit That sometimes I'm unequipped To handle It all on my own But why do it alone It's cause I know I'll never slow down
I'm at the end of my means From idolizing a made-up man Who one day could be me But does version sleep at night Or ever take a minute to just breathe Or Just to be
honestly i can't even. explain this one properly?? like with any evidence for it?? i just think it resembles his psyche and 'guy that is always running around doing SOMETHING' thing
this one is SO discduo. holy shit it is so fucking discduo it is insane how discduo this is.
"You're not like me, I'm not like you I'm not who these things happen to" And that's exactly what you say before they do
tommy. tommy with the 'You're not like me, i'm not like you, i'm not who these things happen to' and the responding line. its so them it is so them OGH
Hand in hand come human error and plain bad luck It seems the timing's always wrong For the ones who wait too long You'll never catch a break you'll have to make your own
'Hand in hand come human error and plain bad luck.' i am. INSANE about corellating this to discduo. tommy is human error dream is plain bad luck. by the way. or it could be the other way around it works either way
That I would lose Oh I would lose Between my left and right, I'd one day have to choose You're not like me, I'm not like you. I'm not who these things happen to And that's exactly what you say before it catches up to you Before you play with knives and find yourself in two You, you, you, you
first point except with the new lines fitting discduo even more. like
I finally climbed to heights I No matter how I try Can't descend Still, somehow they're looking down on me Laughing cause I got what I deserved (You got what you deserved)
And I would do it again I'm not sorry but thank you For enduring me As long as you did That's more than I'd ever ask of you
LIKE. DO I EVEN. HELLO? HELLO. HELLO??? YOU SEE THIS RIGHT.
that final part is LITERALYL the discduo finale like. it is insane. it is insane
okay. hear me out. manhunt energy, yes, but ALSO.
Before I knew I'd live to Savor this day I'm taking off To my own grave I'm running away
So watch me disappear before your eyes And catch me if you can
Catch me, catch me, misplace and mismatch me Tie your shoes in knots but you’ll never harass me Find me, find me, I dare you to try I’ll bet on my survival But now you’re gonna die out there
Where could I be? Walking among you or inside your own homes? Or perhaps there's a part of me in all of you. (Hahaha!)
i cant even explain my thought process with this one i just need you guys to match my brainwaves honestly. like you get me (probably)
So catch me if you can Catch me if you dare Venture through the foul and you'll see what's fair Catch me if you can Catch me if you dare You'll find me through the fog and the filthy air
'Venture through the foul and you'll see what's fair' SNAKES DON'T JUST BITE.
Another grave for the digger with the crimson blade I ain't a saint or a sinner I'm the ghost you made
I fucking dare you, You wouldn't know a good hook if it impaled you That chorus isn't yours, eighty-five is for the label So are you able to take the blame, As a pawn to the winner of a losing game?
FUCKING. DISC DUO. IT'S DISC DUO MAN. I MEAN COME ON THAT LAST LYRIC. I AM DERANGED
im going to gain a reputation as the guy that tags c!dream to songs and then does the worlds worst attempts at analysis posts on them and well maybe im okay with that

I hc that because of being Hera/Juno's champion, Jason is constantly stressed about "what happened if I got my partner pregnant?" (Even if like, they've only held hands)
Cause Hera's influence can be traced to fertility, too, and we don't know how much of her influence can affect the people she blessed
WAITTTTT THIS IS SO CUTE 😭😭😭😭 in my head hera/juno is more of a parent to jason than jupiter is to the point where he might as well be her child not his (so just fyi whenever i’m talking ab their relationship that’s what it is to me i ignore ricks canon 🤬) so already jason is receiving all the blessings she can give him!!!!! many healthy babies and a perfect marriage for mr grace!!!!!!! and he’s hyper aware of this when he first begins dating you because he’s known he’s probs blessed by hera in these departments before but it’s never rly applied till now 😭 so the whole time he’s w u he’s super anxious because he rly doesn’t wanna end up looking at u the wrong way and accidentally somehow making u pregnant LMAO he def wants to bring it up but he doesn’t know how & he’s kinda scared it’ll scare you off 😭😭😭😭
doesn’t bring it up till you’ve finally had enough of how weird he’s been acting and ask and i’ve said thsi before but one thing ab jason is he cannot lie to you to save his life like if he does he’ll beat himself up for it FOREVER!!!! so he tells u everything n ur like “oh 🤔 i mean if hera loves u that much surely she won’t give us a baby if we don’t want one atm yk!” and the RELIEF THAT WASHES OVER HIM when u say that because he never thought of it that way LMAO like yes he is luckier but mommy hera would not spring that on him if he doesn’t want it!

This is moreso to add to what @/just-call-me-juju said about Gojo and Geto.
I understand both sides in thsi very well. After Haibara’s death Gojo was sent out on missions all the time. He barely had time to focus in learning his techniques. We might have only seen him reach out to Geto once but I do believe that Gojo was convinced that if something was wrong Geto would come to him.
At the same time Geto lost himself, he saw Gojo gaining strength and power, basically taking on ever mission on his own and possibly feeling redundant. After Riko, Haibara and his talk to Yuki he probably felt like if he said anything to Gojo then his best friend wouldn’t be able to focus on missions anymore, he would put another burden on his shoulders. And let’s not forget Riko and Haibara happened to Geto AND Gojo. Just because we didn’t see Gojo grieving doesn’t mean he wasn’t shaken up. He literally became a teacher to prevent all this shit from happening to another generation and in a moment of rage even contemplated killing all higher ups.
But yes, Geto didn’t reach out because depression makes that hard. You want to have your shit together, you WANT to tell someone but the urge NOT to be a burden is too big. So you keep it all in, until it’s too late.
Yet, I think both acknowledged that they could have changed everything if they had just reached out to each other more. After all, even a decade after their falling out they referred to each other as their best friend. Their one and only.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk-
~ Nanami flowershop anon

hi!! I saw a rec list of yours where you were like, "i actually have more but some of them are just the real popular ones so im like. Yeah youve read it." -- but I HAVENT!! I'm brand new to cherik and looking for those ultimate recs, those smash hits. could you rec some ultimate cherik fic, if you have the time? i'm not big on fluff but anything too cutesy but otherwise I'm totally open!!! thank you in advance!
hiii :D i would absolutely recommend you to also browse the tag filtering it by kudos because i tend to filter out some things and i also tend to be picky with stuff so there's probably Smashing Hits(tm) i overlooked bc i was like 'nahh im not in the mood today' and my god there are so many good authors and fics that probs go undiscovered by ME. so do make sure you don't miss out on Those Hits
that being said i went through my bookmarks and i'm grabbing those ones with thousands of kudos (bc to me A Lot of Kudos are anything over 100 but i know some cherik fics have liek 5k or more so. i rec going thru the tag fr) so if i repeat myself from the other recs im very sorry but teehee here you go!!!!
these are all like. well. they don't have major trigger warnings or bad endings so enjoy
two lonely souls in a fish bowl by blarfkey: this is really more centered around pietro and erik but the cherik in it is mmmmmwah and also it's jsut so fucking good if you need to scratch that itch of 'damn i wish pietro had told erik he was his dad' like the rest of us. it's so so so good and IT'S A WHOLE SERIES SO CHECK THAT OUT THEY'RE ALL SO GOOOOD.
been there, done that by asyouwish: time loop fic! fucking love that. erik gets stuck in a timeloop before the cuba thing happens. i love seeing littl emen suffer trapped in time
i don't want to wake up on my own anymore by pocky_slash: my bookmark tag here says 'something about erik sleeping' so i reread it and i was like oghggoghg erik sleeping....so YEAH.
orphans of forgetting by pocky_slash: AHGP okay this one's fucking good listen to me. i like men going through emotional trials that fucks them up but gives them an emotionally fulfilling result. this fics good
the pretender by clocks: au where erik fake proposes to charles to get free food. they're still mutants. apparently i bookmarked this one saying 'im going to cry' and now i remember i was jsut really emotional that day and there was no reason to cry as it is a very good and funny fic. help
the whole world wants what we're on by waketosleep: and there was only one bed!
mi casa, su casa by zairaA: i love this one. it's so fun to read. charles moves into his new apartment only to find out erik already lived there. i love this fic.
shalom malakh by zairaa: ive read this oen so many times and only now ive connected the dots that it's the same author. david haller is in this fic. 10/10 showstoppin gi love MY BOYYYYYY !!!!!! but other than that it's so fucking good. what's better than coming back from the dead to haunt ur loved ones AM I RIGHT..
still life with cookies by ren: this one's cute. like a romcom. the pining on this one is so good and enjoyable i liked it so much
a nice boy (the family matters edition) by pocky_slash: IVE RECCED THIS BEFORE. BUT LIKE 2 WEEKS AGO I REREAD IT AND I CRIED SO LIKE HERE IT GOES AGAIN
x marks the spot by the hoyden: i fuckign lvoe this fic. every time i reread it i blink and it's over even though its like 20k words but it's jsut THAT good!!!!
the courtship by danveresque: what's better than canon characters cherik. REINCARNATIPON FICS . fuck my life thsi fic stresse dme out so bad but it was so good. i love it.
never too late to be who you might have been by acetamide: charles and erik wake up in the future (the 2000s timeline movies) and only remember up until what they know before the cuban missile crisis. chaos but also sweet shit :)
tessellation by nekosmuse: i feel like ive mentioned this one before. no MATTER. it's GOOD. IT FUCKS ME UP SO BAD. it does messes with comic canon and also the xmen animated series so it's PERFECT FOR ME and i really do feel it's a classic. liek. 3k kudos should attest for a classic yeah. magneto is a charles xavier enjoyer. they meet. fall in love. Shit Happens. but like it's my favorite.
i think those are all the fics i have that are over 1k kudos long weeps.. again i SUPER encourage you to filter it by kudos when you go the charles/erik tag bc there are SO many fics with SO much content so please enjoy! i accidentally opened the tag and filtered it on august 2021 and i keep going through it. 2 years later yeah. i'm in like page 157 of it. we all make mistakes. but thank you for the ask and i hope you enjoy! :)

2023 Media Thread Pt2
it got too big to edit :(
The Cat in the Hat (2003): I’ll admit I don’t really have any special attachment to this movie. I missed it as a kid, just right past me. I’ll give it props for dedication to bonkers production design and commitment to cartoon logic, but this really didn’t work for me. The uncanny makeup and constant screaming children was consistently grating. The peeks of the world outside of the main story was great whenever we go to see it though. -3/10
Tumblr media
Barbecue Showdown S2: They sure did cook that meat. Most of the cast was polarizing, but not necessarily in a fun way. 4/10
Tumblr media
Andromeda S2: Once again a Sci-fi show ups its quality in the second season. I think what I appreciate is that when it does a standard episode that you’ve seen before in another show, instead of trying to one up the moral dilemma, it instead ignores it altogether and pursue character interaction. A steady progression of both the characters and the state of their world kept me well engaged. 7/10
Tumblr media
Gravity Circuit: [At time of writing I am struggling against the last boss] At some point I yelled ‘NOW THIS IS KAMEN RIDER!’ Some of the tightest shmoovment in a 2D game of thsi type and visually stunning. Taking the GBA megaman X approach to monochrome sprites really lets the artwork flourish without diminishing readability. 9/10
Tumblr media
DOOM 64: A fascinating iteration on the main DOOM entries. It plays clean and has fascinating level design. I won’t finish it, but I see myself coming back to it from time to time. 7/10
Tumblr media
Avataro Sentai Donbrothers vs. Zenkaiger: In this episode of Zenkaiger, the gang gets up to some villain of the week shenanigans. In this episode of DonBrothers, the gang grapples with the emptiness of unearned success and the negative power dynamics from leadership. In other words its a pretty normal episode of both that end up in the same quarry at the end. 8/10 I miss these goofs
Tumblr media
Geats Extra: Kamen Rider Tycoon meets Kamen Rider Shinobi: I think we all know who should’ve been the real series this season (its shinobi) 7/10
Tumblr media
HALF LIFE MOD ROUNDUP PT 2
Amalgam: A pretty underwhelming mod with some pretty good combat encounters in a few occasions, but too long methinks. 4/10
Half-Life 2: Downfall: Pretty solid content focused on Gravity Gun playstyles, but seeing as it was made in 2017, I don’t think the other episodes are happening. 5/10
Resistance Element: This one is pretty out there. Didn’t really establish its setting and ending on ‘the Vortigaunt fleet’ is certainly a choice. 5/10
Transmissions: Element 120: Pretty good overall and the gravity gun variant was intriguing. Too bad it’s too short to capitalize off of the unique ideas. Though a surprising few mods have the confidence to end on a strider encounter. 7/10
Thunder’s Leaves: They get points for effort. An interesting twist on the setting that made it feel fresh, though it comes at the cost of the new weapons being decidedly less fun to use. The gunplay just feels...off. A lot of the ideas feel rough like this. The combine shield drones take a weird amount of damage and rocket turrets ended up doing more splash damage to me than the enemies. Still, seeing a world in the process of picking up the pieces was oddly satisfying, and more desperate combine gave their less curated technology a certain charm. 7/10
Gundam Evolution (7/22): At a some point I joked ‘This will be Gundam gaming in 2023′ and paused, ‘2023 and 2023 only.’ Yes, Gundam Evolution was announced to be shutting down in a few months, not having lasted a whole year. It’s almost like live service games with off-putting monetization strategies might not be an optimal business practices. The balance seems to have improved and The one additional unit I was able to unlock (Heavyarms) was pretty neat. Perhaps if the timing was different it could’ve worked out with Overwatch hemorrhaging as badly as it is. Honestly the lack of any worthwhile brand synergy kinda dampens it. With G-witch over for now, it only is represented in a few player icon, which is especially disappointing considering a lot of the nothing picks for new characters they did. Naturally they saved the Kampher for the day after they announced they were shuttering. maybe by the end they’ll unlock everything for everyone, but I doubt it. I still had fun, but there's no soul here. 6.5/10
Tumblr media
Rocky Blaboa (2006): Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, this is a good movie and Stallone can Direct. It understands the mechanics of how the filmmaking made Rocky so sympathetic in the first one and wont hesitate to hold on his awkward mannerisms. I appreciate how the match was shot like a real sporting event, and for once the quick cut style that became overused in this era works as an escalation of the previous lingering. The emotional core of the movie works like a charm, and it really makes it feel like he is brightening up the world in his small way. It directly parallels the first, but especially by the end you can’t help but smile. 9/10
Tumblr media
Bloodfist: A pretty average canon movie, but I won’t lie, the twist got me and a couple of the fights were neat. Couldn’t tell if the Filipino woman who doesn’t have any lines was neat choice or lazy production. 6/10
Tumblr media
Airplane Mode (2019): Abyssal media. It’s racist, homophobic and shallow in that way only late 2008′s comedies did. Theres a reason it killed the comedy genre. I didn’t recognize any of these celebrities for 12 year olds besides Logan Paul which made the relentless sex pest energy of the movie worse. The worst part is that very rarely, enough crassness and lame humor piles up that just one joke can take it far enough to make me laugh like an idiot. I hated myself for it. -4/10
Tumblr media
Deadly Spygames: Bafflingly bad but funny with a good group, though it loses momentum when it ends up just being a framing device for a worst christmas themed horror failure. -4/10
Tumblr media
Force of Execution: Man what happened to Stephen Seagal. -2/10
Suicide Squad 2016: This movie deserves the microscope of analysis it garnered. It has all the ingredients, just put together...wrong somehow. It was better than expected, especially once someone pointed out that the Joker isn’t consequential to the plot at all. He could be removed and nothing would change. I see why there was an immediate turnaround on a remake. -6/10
Tumblr media
Andromeda S3: I felt there was an odd drop in quality. I chalk it up mostly to not really having a clear idea of what the state of the commonwealth is and if its still only the senior staff running the ship or not. It just felt kinda disconnected and disconcerting, like I was watching out of order. 5/10
Tumblr media
Gundam I rewatch: A friend wanted to watch this with the rest of the players in a OYW tabletop I’ve been running for a year and a half. Theres a lot of ink spilled on the subtlety of the character writing, but this rewatch I brought a new eye to spotting Yas’s style in the character design. I really appreciate how much of the legwork into nonverbal expression it pulls off with the limited resources. 8/10
Tumblr media
Iron Man (2008): Tight as hell, stylish, confident and gorgeous. It is everything the MCU had lost by the time they removed the character. 8/10
Tumblr media
Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island: It’s cute and whimsical and all, but I wouldn’t call it particularly fleshed out. A lot of cross pollination between this and G-witch. 7/10
Tumblr media
Swelter: Playing this during a heat wave was just about perfect. This setting felt fresh for the Half-Life modding scene and fit in seamlessly. While the new puzzle mechanics were simple, they were clean and were a lot of fun to do under fire. The rebalancing was unusual, but I had a great time with the original weapons. Disappointingly, I would’ve liked more opportunity to use them in new contexts. It was over pretty fast and left me wanting more both conceptually and mechanically, which in this case is a good thing. 7/10
Tumblr media
Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning part I: Tom Cruise’s Quest to have a new dark brunette love interest in all of his movies has now lead to a double event. Cynicism aside, this movie was a blast and the more sci-fi villain led to lots of tense mind games. This less serious tone reminds me of my favorite era of Bond villainy. High points include a Lupin the 3rd car chase, a samurai sword fight and a batman villain tier riddle bomb. I had a great time. 8/10
Tumblr media
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: It may not have been great, but this was MY Avengers. Plus 5 points for having a visibly Indian Captain Nemo but minus 5 for having him even slightly receptive to saving the British Empire. 7.5/10
Tumblr media
Matrix Resurrections: Upon second watch I did notice a few clever touches I didn’t pick up on initially, but the only thing it really has going is being the most maliciously compliant film I’ve ver seen. -4/10
Tumblr media
Kamen Rider Saber: The  phantom of missed opportunity looms large in this show. It has moments where the writing works and the characters are endearing, but most of the time it just comes out...weird. The fights feel stagnant, the CG is laughably bad at times and the theming is all over the place. It comes across as childish and poorly executed. But I’m just beating about the bush here, the real issue is that the main character and the lost childhood friend come off as...really really creepy. The visuals of him trying to rescue a child are...lets just say the optics are awful. Doing my best to put that aside, this might be the weakest Rider I’ve finished. 4/10
Tumblr media
The Fugitive (1993): While I cannot speak to how it stacks up to its predecessor, I enjoyed it as a tight thriller. I loved seeing Andreas Katsulas, I loved seeing the infamous Harrison Ford dummy. 8/10
Tumblr media
An American Werewolf in London: Interesting, but I wouldn’t call it particularly funny to me. 5/10
Tumblr media
Yukikaze: Damn, this really was the Evangelion of Ace Comb----*gets shot in the head*
Jokes aside, while I wouldn’t call it particularly narratively deep and the final episode was a bit bad at communicating, it was a stimulating watch. From a technical standpoitn the dub I watched had interesting sound design that heightened the stress of the airborne encounters, though the voice mixing felt odd at times. I’m also pretty sure this was supposed to be BL at some stage. Anyway, wow, cool post-eva digipaint plane thing! 8/10
Tumblr media
Thankskilling: The apex of cheap garbage. Exploitation nonsense at its finest and most self aware without overplaying its hand. The line between good and bad cringe was walked like a tightrope. I’m a big enough man to say that I laughed my ass off, though I can’t recommend it. I later came to a greater respect upon seeing that their long defunct website encouraged people to use the footage as public domain and even had a fan-edit contest. -7/10
Tumblr media
Conan the Destroyer: Bummer the whole party couldn’t make it to the session this weekend. I wouldn’t mind the weaker effects and production if it maintained the distinct style of the original. It lacks the Kino factor...without it...just kinda dull. 4/10
Tumblr media
Ninja Assassin: Rewatching this with a Rain fan made this a lot more fun the second time around. I kinda wish we could’ve seen more...ninja assassinations? but as it is it has style and action I can’t say I didn’t thoroughly enjoy. Boy, I could tell this was MJS now that I knew what to look for. 7/10
Tumblr media
Lupin III: Prison of the Past: Absolutely sauceless. It has the wonder bread plot of a Pokemon DVD movie, but animation so budget it wouldn’t cut it for TV anime at its worst. It's just bafflingly cheap looking. Its colors are so muted and its compositions so static it feels at once 10 and 20 years out of date. This was made worse by an uninterested dub. How do you make a char clone with a sword dull? If this is the bar for modern Lupin, I think I might pass. 2/10
Tumblr media
Kamen Rider Saber side material: only a blanket note and no individual ratings on these. These really showcase how much the cast was underutilized in the main show. With room to breath I was able to be more endeared to that cast than its nearly 50 episode main run. It just goes to show how much of a weird compromise Saber was...
Kamen Rider Geats: Somehow this season felt way longer than the 49 episodes it ran for. It jumped around and became so many different shows. As a result I can hardly wrap my mind around it. Every positive has either a negative cost or a feeling of missed opportunity, which is thematically appropriate...
-Conceptually it never capitalized on the ‘battle royale game’ concept. It sped through so many formats and games that I never felt the tension and intrigue of the reality shows it emulates. I understand the production reasons they can’t juggle tons of riders, but Ryuki proved this is possible, and it didn’t have the advantage of only needing to make half of a new helmet for a new character. This kinda comes to a head with Neon’s bodygaurds only having forms slightly off camera and punkjack being sidelined to play Pikmin since his helmet was un-re-colored. Occasionally we got to see now formats that iterated the concept in interesting directions, but some reboots just felt pointless, or the final one that speedruns a typical season in like 10 episodes.
-The character writing was a bit all over the place, but I felt attached to the cast for the most part, and we got enough charm to make it work. However Ace’s gimmick of pulling clever plays never really gelled for me.
-The broader mystery and mechanics of this sci-fi world really grabbed us. We were properly speculating about the mechanics of their world and the nature of the future viewers. It taps into the kind of classic sci-fi concepts I eat up, like the addled sadism of the future people. It’s never fully explained, but left with plenty of room and ambiguity that you can read a lot into their behaviour.
I think it pulled it off in the last quarter, but that might be recency bias. 7.5/10
Tumblr media
Stargate Origins: This would’ve benefeited from being a two parter. The result is drawn out, not terribly exciting and marred by stilted dialogue. At the end of the day, I still like stargate and some of the talent they got for this. 5/10
Tumblr media
Andromeada S4: Wow, it just got so much worse. I had to force myself to pick it up a few times and have been actively procrastinating adding it to my watch list. Most episodes felt less like they were regurgitating stock episodes of sci-fi shows and more like I accidentally put on one of the worse episodes I had already seen in a previous season. I got the distinct feeling that something must have been wrong with the episode order on Tubi. It would account for why the serialization makes no sense, but alas, its just bad. After a few underwhelming show-running decisions, my heart sank when I realized there was a fifth season.
Tumblr media
I tried the 5th season. 3/10.
Maids II Deception: Don’t judge me for speaking this highly of a skyrim mod without hearing me out first. I saw this recommended as a story mod and assumed it would be a paper thin, cringy excuse for some mild titillation and weeb armor. Turns out the only thing I was right about was the silly looking samurai armor (Todd Howards greatest mistake was giving the Blades samurai swords). Instead I got an epic campaign between a dozen factions and hundereds of years of lore that lured me in before plunging me into intrigue, groupthink and a harrowing ending that left me crushed and empty inside. Spoiler alert, there isn’t any tittilation. This thing dwarfs Skyrim in terms scope and ambition. It has varied mission types, all types of crazy mechanics that it isn’t afraid to drop and just when you thought you had a good bead on things it drops a new DLC scale open world island I can’t even begin to explain in the FINAL CHAPTER. Even the title is an outright lie, you only really get to interact with the maid mechanic in the endgame, potentially dozens of hours later.
Since this was released in chapters over the course of years, the quality of the game, writing and voice acting improve as it goes. By the end I think it could go toe to toe with a lot of the upper eshelon of RPG writing. While some of the voice acting (and mic quality) felt relatively amateurish I couldn’t help but grow attached to the cast and feel crushed when even minor spear-bearers met their fate. However in the final chapter I could feel the scope might have grown too large and some of the gameplay and area design suffered. For example the ambitious mechanics in the wizard tower just didn’t work for me and the final hours were a painful slog of fighting my way to the end. Some of that could’ve been easily cut. It is a shame I have no idea if we will get a third entry, it sets up so much... 9/10, despite its flaws
Tumblr media
Sand Shark: Half the run time is just a retelling of Jaws, the other half is repeating the sequel hook trope where another jaws appears at the end like 3-4 times in succession -4/10
Tumblr media
Wild Hogs: It made me laugh out loud a few times. Does that make up for the homophobia and awkward old man wish fulfillment. *shrugs*. 5/10
Tumblr media
Dragonball Evolution: High school angle: check. Women being paired off to have cat fights during action scenes: check. yep, this is a 2000s anime adaptation. It really is clear they had no interest in the source material, but the odd part is that if they made it a bit campier in a few places it might’ve worked, but perhaps that is One Piece 2023 talking. -4/10
Tumblr media
Cats 2019: It somehow looks worse in motion than I expected. Once the novelty wore off about halfway through I just felt bad for the effects artists. Can you tell they had no kind of motion tracking when they filmed it and it all had to be done by hand? I can!. -5/10
Tumblr media
The Expendables: I was expecting a cheap looking ego trip for over-the-hill action stars, but this is probably the best version of that that could exist. The only part that looked outright bad are the blood squibs (or whatever effects plugin they were using). The dialogue was well acted and natural feeling enough that it threw me a bit off balance, specifically mickey rourke. In an odd way, the part I feel the most nostalgic for is the gasoline explosions. I really miss that stuff. 7/10

(hi!! I was pretty busy but I’m finally on vacation and came to my home country to visit my family last week!! hope you’re doing well<3)
Fr, I feel awkward when that happens bc I never know if I should be the one switching languages or waiting for the other person to do so, but I might change between both bc atp I’m just as bad talking in both JAJAJAJA pero no me sale el video:’) I’ve tried to click it but I think the link is missing lol
Okay idk if these are the flashbacks you were referring to, but now when I was finishing skypeia arc (my favorite so far!!) I did skip the whole Nolan backstory 😂😭 I’m sorry but I really needed to see Luffy go kick that electric ass ://
There’s more we can learn about the crew’s past?? That I don’t mind JAJAJA (es que si es lindo<3 him and Iñaki are so precious) so far I only know Sanji said he’s from the North Blue👀
NO WAY??? I mean I can see it if these episodes aired during 2001 but that’s not the reason I was expecting for Pell’s miraculous survival JAJAJ
SHUT UP IM DOWN BAD FOR HIM!!!!! Skypeia Zoro is everything to me I swear, he didn’t give a sh*t for that god act and he cared so much for everyone in the crew :c oh and I’m watching it in japanese!! I don’t really like watching anime dubbed lol Y SI BIEN LINDO JAJAJAJA I need more Luffy singing moments<3
OKAY I might reach it then bc I’m on the Enies Lobby arc rn (which is so freaking cool abilities-wise bc damn todos han tenido un upgrade increíble + el plot está tenso y emocionante JAJAJ) AND HELLO?? SANJI’S LEG JUST CAUGHT FIRE?? ZORO SUMMONED A FREAKING DEMON SPIRIT?? LUFFY HAS TWO NEW ABILITIES ON HIS SLEEVES??? (metaphorically at least lol) but yeah idk how much I’ll be able to watch while I’m home BUT I really want to know how this ends JAJAJAJ (y gracias por no dar spoilers<3 veremos como nos va con el timeskip JAJAJ)
Oh no you’re totally right, if it was zombie that would be a cry for help LOL when I heard the song for the first time, although I did like it, it felt too heavy for me if I were to listen to it on my bad days:’)
OH ALSO I GOT THAT THIRD PIERCING JAJAJAJAJ
have fun on vacation!! love that you were able to visit your home country too <333
(me dí cuenta q el video no estaba cuando se lo quería mostrar a una amiga y dije ay jesú la tecnología me ganó AAJJAJA) but it honestly was just dumb it was a video fo ace singing propuesta indecente to sanji and zoro being like i Will kick your ass it just had me giggling so much LMAO
those are exactly the flashbacks i'm refering to LMAO if you thought nolan's was bad...... i am so sorry they're gonna get worse LDSGKHL much love to those characters tho nolan's story was very fun i just did not care. and yeah there's more you're gonna learn about the crew, sanji being from the north blue is a huge huge hint tbh i honestly can't wait for you to get there
skypiea zoro truly is top tier 10/10 can you believe there's people that say you can skip thsi arc like are you stupid. and nice i can't watch things dubbed either unless they're things i watched dubbed as a kid LMAO otherwise i'm like what the Hell is going on man
ennies lobby is SO GOOOOOOOD they all go insane like we can see how much they've grown and just everything about that arc is so good, i'm usually not a big fan of the fights because they uuuuh pq las prolongan mucho AJJAAJ (se me olvidó el inglés) but the fights in ennies lobby? amazing 10/10 kaku i don't care that you're a bad guy i love you please be good man

Ong helo again, i want to req reverse streamer au w childe when the reader acc dies at the golden house where the traveller aka childe fight them amdjjsjsjs, i kinda wanna see how his reaction is. (Lets just say the liyue harbor osial attack was done by another hsrbinger)
Just this and if yoi dont write for angst or you dont wanna write this feel free to delete thsi req. (I got the request idea when j was reading your latest work, it was really good 🤸‍♂️)
Yeah give me that angst baybee im a sucker for sadness
I may be a bit bad at writing angst tho, its not my strongest in writing
Also i know you cant see in game bruises/scratches but lets just pretend they exist even out of cutscene
Lets pretend Y/n's little sibling in game is also named Teucer
Tumblr media
-ˋˏ✄— Fallen Harbinger
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳ Tartaglia x Reader [ Reversed + Streamer AU ! ]
Pronouns: they/them
"Farewell, Fallen Harbinger."
CW: Angst! Death! Mentions of blood!
.navigation. // .genshin impact masterlist.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
'Go to the Golden House,' the quest read.
It had just been another regular day for Childe. Wake up, do his morning chores, then do his regular, messily scheduled streaming.
And, as per usual, he had been streaming Genshin Impact, a well known game in the streaming community.
"The Golden House? Uh, okay then..."
He stole a glance at his chat, who were telling each other to shut up, while some only asked what would happen in confusion. Spoilers were probably deleted by his mods.
"Chat, you're scaring me, chat. What the hell is going to happen? No, no, don't tell me, I don't think I want to know yet."
Something in his head screamd at him, as a cutscene played. His chosen traveller looked around the Golden House before stepping closer to the Exurvia of the former Geo Archon.
And then, in stepped familiar h/c hair, their e/c eyes devoid of light despite the golden mora shining within the Golden House.
"Hey! The lil skrunkly!" He whispered, low enough to not desturb the cutscene.
They conversed for a bit, before the cutscene ended and a battle began.
"Surreder is a valid option, I promise I'll be gentle."
Childe swallowed his saliva, laughing quietly to himself.
"Oh I am going to have fun. Maybe."
─𖠄࿐
The fight ended, and Childe was shaking in his seat. He had barely finished phase 3, getting disracted many times.
Another cutscene played, revealing a tired, worn out traveller. But Y/n was no better, not even on his level.
Standing across the traveller, now out of their Foul Legacy form, was same old Y/n, shaking in their place as scratches and bruises littered their skin.
"Hah, you've bested me. How... intriguing. You truely are...as strong as they say."
Childe, having a chill run up his spine, stared intelty at his screen, deathly quiet.
"La Signora has even praised you for your strength, even if she had not faught you herself, yet. Hah, to get a Harbinger's attention and praise... You sure are a special one, huh?"
─𖠄࿐
Having none of their energy remaining, Y/n collapsed to the floor, on their knees. They could see the traveller hesitate to approach them, but they spoke before he could move.
"Well? What are you waiting for? I may have overused Foul Legacy, and it wont be too long."
They spared a glance at the traveller, and even in their weakest moment, a competetive and mischievous glint shone in their once dull eyes.
"Go on. Aren't you going to kill me?"
The traveller's breath hitched, before they chuckled once again.
"Haha, only joking... Unless you're up to it, of course. I'm not quite a fan of dying to Foul Legacy, but after a fight with the oh so great traveller? It was a fight worth dying for, I guess."
Coughing, blood trickled down their chin, and they wiped it off with the back of their hand.
"May I be able to hope to see you again? To have another battle? Perhaps in the far future, perhaps never again at all..."
Taking a step forward, the traveller ceased his motion as the Harbinger raised a hand.
"No need. Whatever healing you might try to do would not work. Foul Legacy takes my energy, decreasing my life span. Perhaps I wasn't meant to live long, perhaps my only purpose was to serve the Tsaritsa."
A chuckle, breathy and tired and solemn and...happy.
Happy to have someone to pass one last message for them.
"Before you leave," they spoke. "You'll probably be able to find one or two of the Harbingers here. One of them would be summoning a god banished to the depths below. You cannot stop them. Or maybe you can. But, before you leave."
They looked up, and despite the scratches and blood on their face, their half lidded eyes shined a thousand times brighter than all the mora in the Golden House.
"My siblings... My mother, my father... Everyone..."
They smiled, brighter than their eyes. It was soft and kind and solemn and genuine and sad.
A million words spoke through that smile. A million messages, a million apologies, a million grateful thank yous. Directed to their family, their parents, their siblings.
A million farewells. Directed to everyone.
Directed to the traveller. To Childe.
"Give them one last goodbye for me, will you? A hug, for everyone. A kiss on the cheek, for mum and dad."
A smile, solemn and bright. But never remorseful, never faux.
"Tell Teucer I'm sorry."
Falling to their side, they collapsed on the ground with a thud, and the Golden House was deathly quiet.
─𖠄࿐
Childe stared at the screen. Eyes wide, mouth agape. If you looked close enough, you could see his shaking form as the cutscene ended.
Another quest popped up.
'Bid Y/n L/n a final goodbye.'
And he wailed in his seat.
Tears streamed down his cheeks, and he made it seem more dramatic to make people assume he wasn't really badly affected by their death.
"I— what— NO! My skrunkly! My little meow meow!"
He moved his character to stand in front of Y/n, an interact button popping up.
'Bid your farewells.'
He did so, seeing his character change to the traveller, who kneeled down beside Y/n. Paimon floated down to the ground, placing a hand on their head.
"...We promise you, Y/n. Your family will be alright."
Taking a flower, a Cecilia from Mondstadt, the traveller gingerly placed it atop their head.
"...We'll be going now, Y/n." He said, and stood up.
Childe had been quiet the whole time, and he could see his chat going wild on the corner of his eyes, all screaming 'NO' or 'o7' or anything alike.
"What the fuck!?" He exclaimed, not touching the game. Rolling his chair backwards a bit, he turned his head to chat, hands intertwined in front of his face, covering his mouth.
He wiped his teary eyes and wet cheeks, trying to find his voice.
"That was too early! I thought I could ignore the death flags until further!!" He exclaimed, staring directly at his face cam. Running a hand through his hair, he dramatically slouched on his chair, groaning loudly.
"Nooo! I would have protected them!"
Suddenly springing up from his seat, he wailed even louder.
"THEIR FAMILY!! THEY'RE GOING TO BE FUCKING DEVASTATED! And— and— their siblings! TEUCER!" He exclaimed.
"I'm sueing Mihoyo Hoyoverse what the fuck."
─𖠄࿐

WHAT THE FUCK WHAT WHY I— NOOOO

One piece characters with a bilingual s/o / s/o who's second language is english
Heyyy it me im here, i just wanted to make this 4 my fellow bilinguals bc english is my second language (first language is danish✌🤩) and sometimes when people find out i speak two languages theyre like "omg wow i could nevr"
Characters: Luffy, Sanji, Aokiji
Luffy
Tumblr media
Ah yes, Monkey D Luffy, he is also bilingual (i am Oda and i said so myself bc he's from Brazil okay) and abseloutely noone expected this till the encounter with Ace in Alabasta, because those two 100% had a long ass conversation in portuguese and everyone was like "🤨".
Anyways, he thinks its cool that you're also bilingual! He think it makes you seem smarter knowing multiple languages. Oh? He speaks two languages too? Yeah, 'but portuguese is just portuguese' (he's a bit stupid and doesnt think him speaking two languages is as smart as you speaking two (or more) languages)
Makes you teach him what 'im gonna be the king of pirates' is in ur language.
Likes hearing you casually speak in your language, not particularly to him, just in general. Like you could be having a conversation with yourself, or singing a little song in your language and he'd be listening intently. Does he understand anything? 'No, but it sounds pretty! Shishishishishi :D'
Sometimes you ask him to teach you phrases, which he happily does!..well, tries to. He is NOT the best teacher, because if there's something you have a bard time pronouncing, he just says it again, which doesn't really help 🥲.
All in all, think its cool, but doesnt really care too much, but thinks its nice to meet someone with common experiences as him language wise.
Sanji
Tumblr media
Abshwsh i love him.
Thinks its very interesting and cool that you can speak more than one language.
Asks you to teach him how to say romantic things to you like 'my love', 'i love you', 'you're beautiful' and its so sweet.
If you sometimes accidentally slip up in languages (fx. Say a phrase but accidentally say one of the words in your language) he wont question, but try to understand what you said.
After a couple of times of this happening, he'll understand what it means by looking at the words around it and stuff like that, and you adore him for it cause that struggle is real dude 😭
Asks you to sing songs in your language for him (if you can sing/like singing) and will melt if you sing a slow song/love song
When he lays in your lap while you're doing something or relaxing, and you suddenly start singing a random little tune in your language, he will fall asleep. Its adorable
If youre one of those types that switch languages when they get excited, he will think its so cute, like, you rambling on about an interest or something, and accidentally switching languages for about a sentence before you notice, and him just looking at you with eyes full of love at your mini embarrassment of accidentally switching languages.
He loves you and everything about you, this is just a little unique thing that might be one of the things that he loves the most about you.
Aokiji
Tumblr media
This man. THSI MAN!!!1!11
He thinks its very useful that you know two languages.
He'll probably try learning your language, to just be able to have more private conversations with you.
Sometimes he'll just say unexpected affections in your language that he definitely wouldn't say if people understood him, and its just so abxjabzj.
At the start though, back when you didnt know he was learning your language, and you were annoyed with him, you'd maybe call him something you call lazy people in your language.
He heard this and knew what it meant, so he was like "🤨 ayo thats a bit rude bro" and you were so embarrassed.
Just as the other two, he loves listening to you sing in your language, makes him all soft inside. Even if its a bit of a weird and unknown feeling, he wouldn't want the feeling to stop.
Sometimes when you're laying in bed with his head on your stomach, he'll ask you to sing a little tune or something, and will fall asleep to that
Surprisingly, he doesnt have much of an accent in your language, he's just that smart lmao.
He's just very nice and cool (pun intended) about it in general.
N e ways so if u guys couldn't guess i really like Aokiji 🤩🤩 he's so pretty cries.

“Like it or not, his instincts had branded Itachi’s alpha as ‘safe’ many years ago.” AWWWWW 🥺🥺the development we all needed😩😩PLZ THSI WAS SO WHOLESOME~ it feels like itachi’s alpha and sasuke will have a closer bond now, can you imagine at one point they even have their own secrets from itachi? Like they’re gossiping one day and itachi walks in and wants to know as well and they’re just like shhhh you saw nothing 🤫 and itachis just like EXCUSE ME-
KSKSKSKSKS and I’d love to know what happened with young sasuke’s courting🧍🏻‍♀️I hope everything turned out well for him🥰🥰🥰 but seriously I love this more wholesome side to their relationship!!
Ahh, I'm so glad that you enjoyed it, @queenondeezmatatas !
I really liked that that one turned out actually and I'm super happy you did too!!!
And absolutely Sasuke starts going to Itachi's alpha for more things and Itachi is like??? I'm standing right here??? Your actual brother???
Sasuke's courting went very well, yes!! His alpha was very shocked and relieved that there was just a misunderstanding. After a bit of friendly name calling and a few punches to the shoulder, everything smoothed its way back to how it was.
Sasuke is very happy and relieved and immediately goes to buy a book on courting etiquette so this doesn't happen again. (He might even ask Itachi's alpha which book is best to get, the cutie!!)

Remember the Rain
praying this is the final part of “Sunrise, Sunset” by the time i’m done omg ,, lamar finally talks it out with frank. i was tryna keep the titles consistent with a sky theme? wasn’t sure what to name this one at first, but i settled on naming it after a i song that i felt was sorta fitting lol ,, also lamar’s dramatic when drunk, that’s jus how it’s gonna be
oh and i included one last convo w/ that psychic lady bc each character got three opportunities to speak to her lol
//
The night Franklin and him fought was the third night in a row Lamar couldn’t sleep right. Then it became four. Then five. Six. He had hoped after the first couple days of Franklin being mad, that it’d all blow over and things would go back to normal. That he wouldn’t ever have to say anything about what he felt deep down. Even though he told himself he had to, he wouldn’t. He waited it out, and still hoped it would all just fucking blow over. That wasn’t what happened of course.
An overcast sky was spread over LS, light rain tapping against Lamar’s window. As cheesy as it was, it reflected how he felt. Another day had passed. Franklin wasn’t picking up, not even reading his texts, nothing. He called a couple times at first when the fourth day of the silent treatment occurred, then tried a few more times to contact him in the following days. It had grown into a long and sad string of texts.
franklin.
dog
plz
pick up
answer me
plz?
c’mon frank i told you i have nothin goin on with yo auntie
i wanna talk things out with you.
u ain’t let me finish explaining
text me when u read this. plz bro
He sighed. This was hopeless. He set his phone aside, still laying awake. A buzz came right after. Fucking finally, something.
fuck you
we got nothin to discuss
He didn’t know how to feel. This was fucking him up and he couldn’t think straight. He tried calling him once more, the ringing as he waited for a pick up mocking him. Voicemail yet again. How many messages had he tried leaving at this point?
for fucks sake frank pick up
u ain’t doin this to me rn
jus let me explain myself
He stared at the ceiling yet again, like it would have all the answers sprawled out for him. As he did, he focused on how the rain had picked up, coming down harder. Then he felt his phone buzz.
no
now stop blowing my phone up
i’m tryna sleep
Lamar was never one to be sensitive, but he felt so crushed right now that all he could do was cry silently to himself. He didn’t even have Chop around anymore to comfort him like he normally would whenever Lamar was going through something. Would he even see him again? He lived over at Frank’s now. Fuck. Did this mean they’d have to share custody now? If he wasn’t so upset, he most likely would’ve laughed at the idea of it. He was letting bad thoughts consume him, turning to a last minute resort of drinking to try stopping it. This kind of thing rarely happened to him, these kind of feelings weren’t common. He knew no other method of trying to stuff bad feelings down, working through a 6 pack of beer on his own, followed by a bottle of some type of random liquor. Anything to stifle the pain in his chest, although it didn’t accomplish much other than making him feel even more queasy. He left one last voicemail, choking back a sob. Or what he had thought would be the last one. He lost count.
“Franklin. Please jus’ talk to me already man. You- you believin’ what you wanna believe right now, you ain’t even givin’ me a chance. You my best fuckin’ friend, don’t that mean shit to you anymore? We.. homies n shit.” He sniffled, cringing to himself when he said the words “best friend”. Franklin was so much more than that to him.
“Ion… Ion think I can live without you in my life. You can’t hate me man that shit.. that’s fucked. This is fucked. I’m fucked.”
A strong feeling of humiliation hung around him for many reasons, one being that he was fully crying now, over the phone. He couldn’t get any lower.
“You jus’ mad right now. But you.. you won’t be, eventually. Right? Please get back to me soon. Please. I’d rather fuckin’.. die or sum’ than have you hatin’ me n shit. At this point I might as well.”
After hanging up, he decided to visit that site one last time. His tears blurred his vision, making it harder to type. The shit in his system didn’t help either.
lady
i fuckef up
thsi is yo faukt
What now? Why are you back?
frankljn hates me
He does? That’s not right.
damn straighy it fuckign isnt
No, I mean that’s not correct.
There’s no way that he could, even if it seems like it right now.
jus fuckin tell me whst to do
That’s out of my hands.
is not u fuckin wirch
*withc
*witch
Look, I really don’t know how else to help you. I don’t have any other visions to offer. You’re on your own.
They do say though, that dreams are visions themselves.
dont fukcin speak in riddles rn
Precognition, Lamar. Just have faith
prewhatnow
n yeah. faith. bc that helps so fuckn much
All I can say to you is good luck - it’s all coming together. Just wait.
th fuck does that mean?
It means that you’re stressing too much - you better sleep it off. Farewell Lamar. You’re gonna have a killer hangover you know…
SERVICE UNAVAILABLE. PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER.
The notification did nothing but make him more upset. He calmed down eventually, the crying and alcohol tiring him out. He blacked out soon after, not remembering when he fell asleep.
For the first time in a while, he dreamt about the two of them. The start of the dream showed a radiant sight before them, the sky lit up in a million shades. Chop was laying beside Franklin, head on his thigh. All three of them sat on a grassy knoll, a soft breeze blowing through each blade. Franklin turned, Lamar not taking his eyes off him since the dream started. He only noticed the sky’s wide color palette because the intensity struck Franklin’s face just right. He looked right into Lamar’s eyes, speaking softly.
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
“What?”
“You had so many opportunities. So many times, I thought that you would. I got my hopes up, you know. I waited. When Tanisha left.. I only had you.”
“Tanisha..”
“I still love her. I.. I think apart of me always will, but I love you just the same. Even if you drive me up a Goddamn wall sometimes. You both mean the world to me.”
Franklin looked back at the view ahead. A heavenly indigo replaced the vivid hues from before.
“But she’s gone now. Shit ain’t the same. All I know is you stayed when she didn’t. Even when she got pulled outta the hood and made some kinda new life for herself, you never left my side. Never changed yo loyalties.”
He turned back to face Lamar again. His eyes were glassy, the glow of the midnight sky reflecting in them.
“So why didn’t you say somethin’ sooner?”
“Franklin.. I ain’t deduce that shit ‘til now.“
“You really didn’t know?”
Even in the dream he could feel that previous frustration occur in his mind. Was he hiding in a glass closet or something? He could only let out a wry laugh.
“Yeah man. I was a fuckin’ fool, jus’ like you always said.”
“Damn straight.” He chuckled, and Lamar came to the conclusion that he could listen to that laugh forever. Franklin’s face then fell solemn.
“Y’know I really thought that.. I really thought that you jus’ got with someone else. Not even jus’ my Aunt. I saw how you wanted to get away from me, and I thought…” He stopped himself, petting Chop’s head.
“I.. wanted to be happy if you was, but the thought of that at all bothered me.”
“Why?”
“Cuz you were all I had, dog. Mike n Trevor, they have their own lives, their own history n shit. I can’t always rely on them. Denise don’t give a fuck what happen to me. You my lifeline dog, I’ve known you for years. I didn’t want you to forget me over a chick or sum’. That day you acted all different n shit, it worried me.”
“Hey man, y’know I ain’t ever gon pull that shit on you. I’m with you for life.”
“Then don’t pull other kinda stupid shit on me.”
“Whatchu mean?”
“You can’t ever die on me bro. That ain’t how this shit works.”
“Ay man, I don’t plan on dying jus’ yet. Not unless yo ass by my side. Not ‘til I tell you I…” He couldn’t finish the sentence.
Franklin got closer to his face, cupping his cheek. His eyes shone as the stars around them fell from the sky, akin to raindrops, hitting them. Everything about him was flooding Lamar’s senses, and it felt surreal, between his aroma and all the other things he loved about Franklin. Golden flecks covered them both, and the stars continued to crash down. The sky was growing darker than before.
“Just say the words Lamar. Say them and this shit’ll be over.”
“How?”
“Well first you need to wake yo ass up.”
“Huh?”
“I said wake up, fool!”
Lamar’s blissful dream had been interrupted by an unknown figure shaking him, literal raindrops hitting his face. He was still bleary eyed, only seeing a vague silhouette in front of him. A wet slap to the face rattled his brain around, the hangover settling in. Shit, was he still drunk? What time was it?
“Lamar! Get up!”
“Oh.. Th’fuck? Who- who that is?” He grunted out.
“It’s me you fuckin’ clown!”
“Frank?”
“Who the fuck else?”
“Why are you-”
He was abruptly yanked out of bed, thudding to the floor with a small “oof”.
“Get up you punk bitch!”
“Franklin what the fuck-”
He was grabbed again, tossed back onto his bed. Franklin straddled him, shaking Lamar by the collar.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?!” He said, Lamar getting another slap to the face.
“What in the fresh fuck is you talkin’-” Another slap.
“15 fuckin’ missed phone calls! 15! Are you fuckin’ nuts?!”
Lamar’s eyes practically popped out of his head. 15? What the fuck did he say to him?
“I did what-”
Franklin shook him even harder by his shirt, stretching the material out. He was straining his voice now.
“You had me worried like fuckin’ crazy! I thought you was in some sorta fuckin’ trouble again! You blew my phone up when I told yo ass not to, and then didn’t fuckin’ pick up after I heard the first couple special messages you left me!”
Oh God. This was it. He told Franklin everything, didn’t he? The color drained from his face.
“Oh fuck me..” He mumbled, putting a hand over his eyes.
“What?!” Franklin yelled, shaking him again. Lamar’s head was pounding.
“Franklin.. what.. what I say on there? I barely remember a thing, let alone callin’ yo ass.”
“You seriously don’t fuckin’ remember?!”
“Yeah. Seriously, man.”
Franklin slid off of him, putting a palm to his face. He breathed through his nose hard, trying to calm down. Lamar realized he was drenched from the small downpour outside. Pellets of rain thumped against the window as a reminder that the storm never went away.
“You.. fuck, man. You started sayin’ all this shit about how bad a fuckin’ friend you was. That you, you was hidin’ all this shit and couldn’t live another day without tellin’ me.”
Okay. Good. He didn’t tell him the truth.
“You told me you wanted to die dog. Didn’t realize yo dumbass was safe n sound asleep in yo fuckin’ bed.”
“Oh.”
“…’Oh’? Is that really all you have to say?!”
“F, I was jus’ drunk. It was dumb of me, I know, but I.. It’s nothing, okay?”
“Don’t do this shit to me man! I’ve already dealt with enough of yo fuckin’ schemes n shit-”
“Frank.”
“It’s 3 am! You had Chop barkin’ his Goddamn head off the whole night!”
“Franklin.”
“Then I race my ass over here to find yo drunkass self passed out in bed-”
“Franklin.”
“What! What?! You finally gonna put yo two cents in for once?”
“Stop yelling. My head hurts like a bitch right now.”
“Good! I’m fuckin’ glad because I know mine does as well you fuckin’ asshole!”
Lamar looked pathetically up at him. This was getting out of hand. He let it go on for too long.
“Why did you come here then?” He croaked.
“Because you were fuckin’ sobbin’ into the phone! All I heard was you cryin’ like mad fuckin’ crazy and it scared me. You don’t ever do that shit, not even when you fucked up.”
“How much I say?”
“I got the first message pretty fuckin’ clear, the rest was jus’ incoherent bullshit. I barely got through the second one before speedin’ on over. You sounded hurt n shit, I thought something happened. I thought you was a goner.”
“No weird shit though right? I ain’t say nothin’ bad?”
“What? Lamar, what the fuck are you on about? I just told you what yo ass cried out to me! I couldn’t even understand any of the other messages!”
“Okay, okay. That’s.. good I guess.”
“That’s good? Fuckin’ hell, why did I come here? You- ugh!”
“Franklin. Can you jus’ sit down before you pop a fuckin’ blood vessel? You stressin’ for nothin’.”
If anything, Lamar should be the one stressing right now. He had been so close to confessing without knowing. Franklin sat next to him, arms crossed.
“Franklin.”
“What.”
“I’m sorry that I scared you. I didn’t mean to.”
“Well good fuckin’ job, you accomplished that real well didn’t you.” He said, sarcastically applauding him.
“I thought you were cutting me off for good homie. You think I was gon’ let that happen?”
“Lamar, that still ain’t a good reason to freak me out like that in the middle of the night.”
“It’s only cuz you hadn’t been listenin’ to me bro. I’ve been wanting to tell you somethin’ so badly lately and I never.. got the chance.”
“Then do pray fuckin’ tell LD, what the fuck is so important that you had to do this shit to me at 3 AM!”
“Franklin man, c’mon-”
“No! Don’t start!”
Franklin stood, heading for the door as he spoke. He stopped in the threshold.
“Tell me what the fuck is goin’ on with you, or I’m leavin’ yo sad ass here to wallow. I mean it L.”
“Don’t be like that. Please man. I want to, but I-”
“Jus’ fuckin’ tell me! Why won’t you tell me?!”
“Frank-”
“I dragged my ass all the way over here for nothin’ didn’t I? You ain’t dead, you ain’t sayin’ shit, you jus’ bein’ so- ugh! Fuck!” He threw his hands up, exiting Lamar’s bedroom.
“I’m done man, fuck this.”
“Franklin wait- don’t go-” He pleaded.
Franklin did nothing but leave him stranded again, thunder rolling far in the distance. Lamar ran after him as he walked out the door, hearing the rain heavily hit the pavement. His mind was racing far ahead of him. Franklin was leaving, he was leaving for good, and he couldn’t. He can’t. That’s not how it’s supposed to work. Franklin can’t do that, he can’t-
His mind had gone so far away, that he didn’t even realize that he had tackled Franklin to the ground. The two of them fell to the ground with a loud splat, followed by sounds of pain.
“Lamar what the fuck?!”
“Don’t go! Fuckin’ hell, I gotta chase yo ass and for what?!”
“Get off me dog!”
“No!” Franklin was pinned beneath him. The raindrops that rolled off of Lamar hit him in the face.
It reminded Lamar of when they were younger, playing football or whatever sport they could outside even as the deluge soaked them both to the bone. The roles had been reversed, with Franklin constantly knocking him down onto the grassy sludge. They got quite an earful from Lamar’s mom as they tracked mud in the house upon returning. It was a memory amongst many that stuck with him like glue. Those memories couldn’t go away. Franklin couldn’t go away.
Tears mixed in with the rain as he yelled out to him.
“You fuckin’ idiot! Why you makin’ this shit so hard for me?! You keep leavin’ before I can even finish!”
Franklin struggled to break free from Lamar’s grip on his wrists, huffing as he looked away.
“Look at me!” Lamar shouted, grabbing his face with a free hand.
“I didn’t wanna fuckin’ tell you like this, but Jesus Christ! For fucks sake you stubborn asshole-”
He was doing it. He bit the fucking bullet.
“You know how we got into that fuckin’ argument last week? When I told you that I was dealin’ with that whole love thing, I wasn’t talkin’ about yo Aunt, a hoe, nobody else! I was talkin’ about you!”
Lamar threw himself off of him, stumbling backwards. Franklin propped himself onto his elbows. He finally said it. He said it, and he was far from finished.
“But you didn’t wanna fuckin’ listen! And now I’ve fucked our friendship over for a second time! All because of you! This whole thing has been drivin’ me fuckin’ insane lately, and I couldn’t do shit about it! I tried so, so hard to avoid this, but nothin’ ever goes my way, huh?! Every time I think a plan of mine’ll work, it doesn’t! You know why?!”
Opening his arms wide, he spoke loud and clear, finishing his rant.
“Lemme remind you: I’m Lamar fuckin’ Davis! The biggest fuckin’ fool, fuckin’ clown, fuckin’ whatever you wanna call me! Lamar Davis, the most naïve bitch on the planet! Fuck me for thinking that this would ever go well!”
Now it was his turn to leave. But he didn’t go back into his house. His legs moved for him, walking in no particular direction. He just needed to get away from Franklin, not caring about how damp his clothes were now. He was shaking, and he didn’t know if it was from the rain or the range of emotions he was flying through.
He could hear a pair of sneakers squishing behind him. Franklin was running, and he was catching up fast.
“Ay Lamar! Get back here!”
Oh fuck. He was chasing after him now. That’s not good. Lamar started running himself, not caring about possibly slipping and falling on his ass. Only a few hours ago, he had told himself he couldn’t be without Franklin. Now all he wanted to do was run away.
“Lamar!”
Fuck fuck fuck.
He wasn’t fast enough. The second time they hit the ground, Lamar had the wind knocked right out of him, the duo splashing right into a puddle. Hands gripped his shoulders, flipping him around.
“Lamar!”
There were only a few instances in his life where Lamar felt small. He’d always been big in character, big in height, and according to him, big in other ways. But this was one of those moments where he couldn’t help but flinch, wanting to collapse in on himself. He was so tired.
“If you gon’ beat my ass or somethin’ jus’ get it over with.” He sighed, shutting his eyes tight.
When he felt nothing but raindrops touch his face, he opened his eyes slowly. His heart sank when he did. Franklin was visibly upset, guilt in his eyes.
“Lamar. Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
A wave of déjà vu washed over him. Oh. So that’s what precognition meant. Motherfucking psychic lady.
“You should’ve jus’ told me man.”
“I tried dog. You wouldn’t hear me out.”
“Cuz I.. I thought you got with someone. I didn’t wanna hear it straight from yo mouth if you was.”
He shifted up, Frank sitting in his lap.
“Y’know I always thought that.. Part of me jus’ kinda thought that it’d always be the two of us. I’m never gonna get Tanisha back.. but you..”
Franklin looked away.
“You a crazy ass loyal motherfucker man. You stuck by my side no matter what, and some dumbass part of me was convinced that you… I mean fuck, so many times I thought you would jus’ flat out say something. Somethin’ so I could stop waiting for the one other person I had known forever to just say that they fuckin’ loved me like that.”
Lamar blinked, rainwater getting into his eyes. It wasn’t quite as serene as his dream had been, nor was it verbatim, but Lamar didn’t care. There was something about the way the water droplets sat along Franklin’s face, highlighted by a streetlight behind him that made him look angelic.
“When you started actin’ all weird it jus’.. made me so fuckin’ mad man. I thought you was gon’ pick someone else over me. Jus’ like Tanisha did.”
“Franklin..”
“So why didn’t you jus’ say somethin’ sooner? I waited. Hell, I don’t even know why I did at first.”
“Franklin.”
“But now I’m realizin’ you must not have even noticed yoself what you was feelin’, when I fuckin’ did. I noticed and you didn’t and-”
Lamar grabbed him by the face, grip surprisingly strong after being in the rain.
“How many times do I gotta say yo name for you to hear me?”
The rain kept falling, never slowing for either one of them. Yet, it felt like time stopped. Lamar chuckled lightly.
“Franklin Clinton and Lamar Davis. Two of the dumbest motherfuckers in LS. Homies for life.”
“Yeah. Homies for life.”
His hands never left Franklin’s face. He pressed their foreheads together, lowering his voice.
“I love you, bum ass bitch.”
“Yeah yeah. I love you too.”
He kissed the top of his head, moving his hands down to embrace him in a tight hug. When was the last time they did this? As he thought it over, he could hear Franklin’s voice muffled against his chest.
“Don’t scare me like that again. Next time save us both the trouble n jus’ spill yo heart out. Dramatic motherfucker.”
The words had no malice in them, Lamar feeling him smile as he said it. He kissed him once more, and they just sat in the rain, feeling it bathe them in fond memories.
//plz listen to remember the rain by 21st century it’s so good 💔😭 anyway ya i decided to end it on a sorta happy note !!!!! franklin is a stubborn guy smh,, sorry for any typos lol also i rlly had no idea where i wanted to go with this so sorry if it’s weird or whatever

Second ask with local crackhead sib.
Imagine the mf bros, being with SO long enough that Sib actually completely, blindly trusts them and they have same trust kinda back. Now what boss wanted to prevent, actually happened. The sib is following them sometimes around like a lost puppy, and somehow the other gangs don't attack sib for like, actually several reasons. They have learned, after once kidnapping the sib, that sib is not only fully capable of break peoples mind with the cursed shit they spout but they might look cubby, fluff and all. Just hug material, but the strength hidden in them is big. They just end up beating people up will sayin 'i am sorry but i gotta go home, i have a math exam the next day :(' 'im sorry' and such. Sib is still sib, a beanie bby.
Also, image Boss one day perhaps scolding sib, the brothers behind him do to (probably that day they were kidnapped by the other gang) and Don walks up form behind sib and pats their head and says good job. Apparently, sib wanted to impress skeles and stole some funky looking files and brought them back home. Turns out it were some important files from the other gang and such. Sibs just having this happy expression that screams 'DID I DO GOOD?'
SO is in the background, watching, internally screaming because their sibling got kidnapped and went Bruce Wayne but goldeb retrieve still on the other gang. From where do they have thsi strength? Sib confess that they went training because they thought they would get really good at hugging after training. Well, they do give good hugs. Lmfao
Cursed siblings power is too great for this world
Snipe: this is literally his worst nightmare. First, this kid is completely unpredictable, which snipe hates. Second, now Don likes them and has low key given them a job in the mafia. Third, because they’re related to his SO, that means that snipe is responsible for any havoc they create. He’s gonna curl up and cry underneath his desk for a bit
Bruiser: by this point, bruiser has acknowledged that your little sibling is immortal. So he doesn’t mind if they tag along on his rather dangerous adventures. If anything he welcomes the company. And seeing them jump cash is double the fun! But when they get kidnapped, bruiser is PISSED. Not his funky little monkey. Even if the kid gets back sage, bruiser is gonna want to plot some revenge
Ace: ok, so uh he might’ve underestimated kid sibling a bit. Ace always just saw it as a mixture of adhd and lack of common sense, but this kid has actual skill to back their chaos up. Plus, Don likes them so now ace has to make sure they stay in his good graces. Looks like he has a little apprentice now. The world will never recover
Slim: he stopped feeling ages ago. When he finds out chaos sibling went terminator oh their kidnappers butts, slim isn’t even surprised. Hey, at least they made it back in time for super smash bros night
Butch: he already had a daring rescue set up for sibling and bursts in while they’re already halfway through beating their kidnappers. Butch helps finish the job alongside sibling, and they share a wonderful bonding moment. After all, who do you thinks been training them? Butch is also super good at “hugging”
Boss: after this whole mess goes down, boss decides that if he can’t escape the chaos, might as well utilize it. For sneaky and disrespectful workers, boss punishes them by siccing sibling on them for the day. His goons have never been more obedient

It’s amazing how well the arsenal dutch trio can play when it isn’t under joe
In all seriousness I hope they bring back this energy back to arsenal. I miss Viv goals(she hasn’t scored much lately and hasn’t had much impact lately), I want jill to have a bit more confidence and also leanr to balance I swear thsi girl trips on air, and daan is actually so good.
They scored some really nice goals today too! idk what the difference would be for them other than Joe, but I hope people who are going to inevitably give them shit for performing better for the NT realize that it might not be the players. Arsenal get it together so your Dutch players can perform to the best of their ability challenge!
Viv with a nice (and goofy) goal
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jill Roord with a perseverence shot
Tumblr media Tumblr media
DVDs curl up shot
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(but also if Y'all thought I was gonna showcase the goals without bringing up the whiff that happened to Roord, you'd be wrong)

she really turned around and looked like Pikachu bro, just

I'm not a huge Ganyu fan, but why do you hate her so much 😭
i'm glad you asked!! this got long so i’m putting it under a readmore
i think she is so boring, & i think she is ugly. the horns are cute. red horns on light blue hair is cute! but the hairstyle sucks. the outfit sucks. i'm sick to death of seeing ganyu art with massive meat globes. it's not even sexy!! i feel uncomfortable for her!!!! and are you seriously wearing a cowbell???? a cowbell over your skintight figure-hugging suit & then some kindd of "skirt" thing if you could even call it that. you're the secretary for the most powerful woman in liyue & you dress like this. there are better looking characters in game you could sexualize & people choose ganyu. and her NA strings show her ass every 3 seconds. to be fair nobody uses her NA but like ....mihoyo recently got yelled at by a group for having characters be too sexy, which is why 4 characters got alt skins that were more conservative. and ganyu is still going to show ass. (to be fair a lot of female characters show ass too just for like...moving and breathing. jumping. NA strings. swimming. & i also hate that. @ ayaka)
i don't like her voice acting either - i'm sure her VAs work very hard!! & that's fine!! but i'm tired of all these unnecessarily high pitched voices. this is a problem with..i guess the industrry?? maybe?? lots of asian media go with the "high pitched voice = cute" kind of thing & i don't like it. anyway it's not a specific problem that ganyu invented, but it's another reason i don't like her.
and there are 10 billion overworked waifu type characters in the game already, & she's like "woe is me...i'm so lonely in the human world...i'm the only adepti in human society (yanfei is right there).....oh no there was a misunderstanding so i'm running away forever without trying to clear it up.." how are you gonna be 200+ years old & act like this. i like seeing her when she's comfortable in situations. it's annoying that the only times i remember seeing her comfortable in positions is when she's working. i hate how her overwhelming fandom characterization a lot of people to characterize her as a stupid shy blushing socially-clueless idiot. i barely remember her story quest.
you may think this is hypocritical bc razor is similar at first glance, with the whole “oh no, i don’t fit into wolf society, & i don’t fit into human society! what’s a little guy to do?” except that ganyu has had her entire life to feel like she doesn’t fit in & hasn’t made any progress towards solving it. razor gets kicked out off wolf society due to his actions protecting humans in his story quest, which i guess happens relatively recently in the timeline of the game. this happens like a week or two ago. he’s also just a kid faced with a hard decision. i’m sure whenever they make his story quest part 2, we’ll see how he deals with it then. also i think razor is cuter & i like his design, his voice acting, his playstyle, etc etc.
& even though she's a great cryo dps, her playstyle is so boring... just go stand on the other side of the room & click & hold & you can only attack once every like 5 seconds!! admittedly if your ganyu is built well you can hit like 20-50k damage on original hit + bloom damage if you crit, but you know who else can do 20-50k damage in 5 seconds? my razor hits for 5-20k on average, & it doesn't take NEARLY as long for him to do so - i think he can do his full NA combo in 5 seconds for ~60k if he crits on every hit. which he might not. to be fair. anyway one Hu Tao crit vape CA on a normal enemy does like 60k & that takes one second. Itto can output like 200k damage during his Q in 5 seconds. ganyu does have AOE on her charged shots, which is nice, but I dislike bow charged attack playstyles sooooo much. i need a cryo dps but i hate her so bad i skipped her for ayaka, who i also really dislike personality-wise but at least she’s fun to play.
thsi doesn't mean i'll flame anyone i run into that uses ganyu. if you like ganyu, good for you! especially if you're playing ganyu & about to carry me in a domain or something. this “barfo-ness” only applies when she appears in story quests. for me, personally, i'm not about any of that. her only appeal to me is her position in the meta. & sometimes when artists draw her in alternate outfits. & also since she’s a few hundred years old, she can probably share a lot of lore with us, or tell me about zhongli. i love grandpa
