Thoughts on TBB 3x13: Into the Breach
SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT
Oh you know how excited I got during this one
Tantiss in the sun??? That's unusual
MOUSE DROID!
The kids are all so sad. This is heartbreaking 😭
This moment seems like a prime time to contact Echo just saying
*gasp* SHIP! PLEASE TELL ME THAT'S WHO I THINK IT IS
AAAAAAAAAHHHHH HE'S BACK!!!
Hunter and Echo's little handshake always makes me soft 🥰
"That hydro snake" glad to have you and your snark back, Echo
THE QUIRKED EYEBROW 😭 I missed him so much 🫶
Hahahahahaha Wrecker and Crosshair's joint "YES"
"Well you've been demoted" Echo is not putting up with Rampart's bs and I love him for that
I really miss Hunter's scarf this season. I wish he kept it 🥲
Also petition for Echo to get a Kama again!
Oooooh she sneaky
Not sure what she's going to do with one small stick but I trust her
THEY STRIPPED THE ARMOUR WTF
I mean it kinda looks like how it used to tbf but I got used to the paint 🥺
Hahahahaha I love that they didn't change the clothing underneath. They stripped the colour off their armour to be stealthy and yet are still walking around with brightly-coloured underclothing
Ugh the fact that Crosshair looks the closest to an Imperial like this makes me upset 😭
"I've missed this" Of course you have you smug bastard
"I don't think so" Echo really does not give a shit about Rampart and I don't blame him
Real subtle Hunter
"Err Captaining" WRECKER I FUCKING LOVE YOU
Thinking back to how Echo used to be the rule follower and would try and stop his batchmates from stepping out of line and now he's pushing around an ex-Vice Admiral while breaking into an imperial base to go and break Omega out of a highly-secure imperial lab. He's grown so much 🥺🫶
Noooooo I don't like that. Echo having to sneak onto a heavily guarded ship by himself stresses me out
"Wonderful. We're all going to die" Look, I may hate this man, but some of his line deliveries crack me up
You'd think the wall tiles in a top secret imperial lab would be more secure than that but okay
I'm not sure how Echo managed that slide roll thing off the top of the container but damn it was smooth af 🤩
HE WENT UP THE FUCKING DROID CHUTE 😭 THIS MAN I SWEAR TO GOD
Like that would be such a Fives plan and Echo has just embraced that chaos
Wrecker casually strolling off the ship with an imperial slung over his shoulder (while wearing his hat) 🤣
THIS EPISODE IS NOT GOOD FOR MY HEART RATE
THAT LANDING WAS TOO CLOSE FOR MY LIKING
New episode and I fucking loved this one! Still feel like we have a lot to wrap up in the last two episodes but there was a good balance of humour, action and tension
ALSO ECHO FINALLY CAME BACK!!! I missed him so much 🥺

the thing about jason and bruce (robin!jason run) is that there are too many panels of jason literally spelling out to bruce that he sees him as his father, but far too few of bruce seeing himself as anything other than jason's guardian.
"guardian and father are like basically the same thing" yes but no because jason explicitly wanted a father, a man to happily and proudly call his dad. little jason was literally just all about making bruce proud and hated making him upset/having bruce upset with him. that kid was trying his absolute best to prove his worth as bruce's child as though he was a kid in an orphanage trying his best to stand out to the incoming couples looking to adopt. jason wanted to stay so bad with bruce and be a part of the family.
which is why it's even sadder to think about how maybe he realized what he wanted just wasn't what bruce wanted. so the second he got news from sheila, someone supposed to be his mother, he didn't hesitate to run to her

Opinions on Dream? :^
SO many feelings about him omgg rant under cut please forgive me
okay so i don't really talk or draw him much cause honestly,,,most of the times i just think he's a bit....boring? or more accurately plain? not in a mean way either but just in a 'fades into the background' type of way like don't get me wrong!! he's a really nice friend to his peers, his feelings about his powers and aura making his relationships harder to navigate and trust along with his whole conflict with nightmare and morality about what's good and bad IS very cool!! and i love it whenever they write him to be complex and not on this black and white mentality or when he's just straight up following along his friends with no free will or with a dubious purpose without ever addressing his issues or feelings! it's just unsatisfying to me :')
or when they're making him the 'naive' and oblivious, (sometimes childish?) character being marked as the obstacle and villain along with the other star sanses from the fic's pov, always talking about doing good things while fighting his brother and not hearing him out about the balance, (and for weak reasons most of the time. like it's been so long and you STILL haven't sat down with him when he's, generally, basically begged you to just have a talk? guys please :'( ) or when they go for the victim sad dream always missing the old nightmare, where corrupted nightmare is the incarnation of evil, with no sympathy or emotion except anger and sadistic glee, killing and hurting everyone and dream's just trying to protect the multiverse and dream's always been in the right. such extremes!!!
LIKE!! i hope i'm not the only one that thinks a 500+ year old should have had enough time to idk. learn things? about people and manipulation and deceit? after knowing what the villagers did to night? about the bad things in the world and how there's a lot of grey areas in life and that he maybe reflected on his past enough to process and ask himself if there should to be a convo to settle his differences with nightmare (and you can make nightmare the stubborn one too! or have them BOTH be petty and imperfect and have some things wrong and some right at the same time like why do i always see the good guy vs bad guy cliché with these two when they're the perfect example of why positivity doesn't have meaning without the negativity!! as long as there's a satisfying evolution or growth that doesn't leave me empty i'm good yknow?)
plus i believe dream really isn't as dumb as people view him. i do get some of you saying he probably can't read or write since that's actually a pretty interesting idea to explore! but in general please let him have emotions other than pure sunshiny happiness or endless sadness like he's gotta have more depth than that! let him make mistakes, have flaws that don't just make him the bad guy that's always in the wrong by default, and be angry or suspicious or jealous or bitter or battling his mental health problems/depression or malicious or smart or witty or mischievous and silly or sarcastic or ANYTHING dude i just want him to be put into different scenarios where he can be serious or lighthearted like it doesn't even have to be long or perfect but make him feel real.
it could definitely be that i don't read or see much art about dream or really look for it hard enough but also i just. i feel bad for even saying this fr and i wanna be honest about why i don't enjoy most stories about him cause he always gets the worst treatment along with ink!!! especially ink omg the poor guy has it the worst i think like wow do they mess him up :'(
always one dimensional in non shippy fics, or too plain or easily replaceable by other, more entertaining people in the significant other's life in most of his ships like man. i have read fics out there that made me genuinely FEEL and root for him and love his character so much it restored all hope for me!!! but i can only name one on top of my head and the others? it's been so long i don't even remember their names i just legit feel terrible cause i love him still and i can't find many headcanons that fit my interpretation of him yknow?
not to say people who write him very happy, mislead or sad are ruining him like that's silly- if i see something i don't like i just. move on bro i wouldn't force people to feel or think the same way i do about him cause anyone can have whatever headcanons they want!!! just talking about what i personally look for in him and why i can't exactly find it since most of the stuff out there just isn't my cup of tea :')
hopefully i didn't set anyone off with this rambling opinionated essay i just pulled hhh xD i know i know he's a popular character and i know a lot of people like dream so *sobs* please please recommend me artists and fics about him that you think is good it's been so looong since i've read or seen anything new that makes me attached to this little guy aughg<33333

Baizhu’s Room
(note: this was written without any leaked spoilers or lore in mind)
Genshin 3.6 finally gave us access to the back room in Bubu Pharmacy, in anticipation of Baizhu’s upcoming release and story quest. And I have to give all the praise to the designers and developers here, because this small room has some of the best environmental storytelling I’ve seen in a game in a while, with only a few simple details. Today is Baizhu’s birthday, so I wanted to talk about it a little 💚🐍🌿
Nothing in this room is neatly in its place. The chairs aren’t in position, everything on the desk is messy and strewn about, and some of the drawers are left open. There’s a pillow on the desk, as well. Baizhu is quite frail and sickly, so this all paints a picture of him constantly looking for things and working, both as a doctor and frantically on his research into immortality, without having the energy or care to keep everything neat, and probably often falling asleep at his desk out of exhaustion (hence the pillow, though admittedly it could be for Changsheng, but I kind of doubt it).
There’s medicine on the bedside tables, which is probably just as much for Baizhu as it (and all the other medicine in the room) is for his patients. The bedside chair indicates he likely sits with patients there a lot so as to be as comforting as possible, but again, it’s also likely for people like Gui and Qiqi, when Baizhu is the one in bed. The sole small washtub thing stuck in the corner behind the screen... just makes me sad. I don’t know why in particular... it just does.
All of this, combined with the lighting, and the new, unique song, creates a room that manages to feel both warm and welcoming during the day, but solemn, lonely, almost suffocating, and unbearably sad at night, completely befitting the person who practically lives here, and the two very different sides he has. I say “practically”, but we have no indication so far that Baizhu actually does live anywhere else -- with his low energy and poor health, and all those damn steps leading up to the pharmacy, I’m fully convinced now that he does live here full-time, after seeing the state of it, which is... heartbreaking. He puts on a smile for everyone around him who are relying on him to care for them (and he loves his job, he truly does!), but his tiny, cramped patient room seemingly doubles as his living space, and even though Baizhu may lie and try to hide his own suffering... this room itself does not lie, and said suffering is bleeding from every corner here. The music is elegant, gentle, comforting, and soothing, but also delicate, weak, mournful, and again unimaginably lonely...... just like Baizhu. 💔
If you haven’t been here yet in the game, I highly recommend you visit it at least once; the atmosphere is simply unmatched. I can’t wait to see what happens here in Baizhu’s story quest, and how it will wreck our hearts even more 💚💔
