Yes, poor people insist on eating cheap food and refusing to learn to cook. They wouldn't want better even if they did have the resources, that's just how they are by nature.
Thank you for correcting those ignorant Jason stans. Their headcanons of Jason being a good cook and enjoying fancy food are so seriously harmful.
Tumblr media
Cass (who canonically lacks a lot of home skills and greatly enjoys eating other people's food) is one of the best cooks. Bruce (canonically a terrible cook who can't even make a sandwich) "does okay"—sure, it's your headcanon. Alfred, the classy British guy, is logically a great cook and "super posh". We can sum up Tim's unimpressive cooking skills just briefly.
But we need an entire section describing your headcanon about how Jason can't cook and needs to stick to "poverty comfort foods", because he comes from a poor background.

I have been thinking a lot about Cole after finally reading Asunder and starting to play the game again recently, and wanted to see how everyone else felt about the choice.
I included whether or not you have read Asunder to see if that impacts the results at all (no judgement if you have or haven't read the book. Your choice is valid either way! I just felt like the book was very interesting and gave a lot of insight into Cole as a character and got me thinking about this choice).

It's so wild being someone who related to Jason's Eldest Daughter/Gifted Kid SyndromesTM and Piper's If I'm Different Maybe I'll Finally Be Good Enough, But Being "Different" Makes Me Feel More Lonely on their first read through HoO/tLH (and being scared, confused and angry at how much it called me out since they were the first characters I saw myself in) VS seeing how much hate for their characters were/are getting for being "boring" kids with personality image issues hits different lmao

!!!WARNING: LONG POST!!!
I am certain Alucard would have called an end to their duel, had Anderson put down the nail. Because Alucard has no intention of pushing Anderson to the point he dies. "An unlimited amount of chances" and Anderson's allowed to back out whenever he wants.
Tumblr media
This is a consistency in all their duels.
From the first; in which Anderson takes his leave because he's not ready to face Alucard;
Tumblr media
And Alucard doesn't loose an ounce of respect for him;
Tumblr media
To the second; Where Anderson suggests they stop because it's not the right time or place.
Tumblr media
And Alucard agrees all the same. Without question or judgment.
And third; when Anderson suddenly stops mid fight, Alucard pauses as well.
Tumblr media
even when the reason for Anderson's pause is purely because he isn't there for a fight.
Tumblr media
Every time they meet up with eager energy, followed by parting without ordeal. Not once does Alucard force Anderson to fight him.
And Anderson knows this, to the point he's comfortable asking Alucard to put their duel on hold. Or stop mid way with his back turned without explanation. He trusts Alucard, and in doing so acknowledges Alucard as more then a Monster.
Anderson has earned Alucard's respect and admiration. Alucard doesn't think any less of Anderson when he stops their duel, and has no reason to, because the next time they meet its with with weapons drawn and a fiery passion.
Their final duel is no different.
When Maxwell dies, Alucard's ghouls are subdued. Anderson walks through them and sits with Maxwell to mourn. Not once does Alucard fight him. Nor does Anderson draw his weapons on Alucard.
Tumblr media
He could have left with the rest of the Vatican, and Alucard would have understood and accepted that.
Because come their duel? Alucard pauses. As though checking base with how Anderson's holding up. If he's still capable of continuing, or if he wants to flee.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But when Anderson tells him to stop pausing for his sake and actually fight him?
Tumblr media
It isn't because he has to. They both know it. Which is why Alucard's once more struck by awe to such an extreme. Because Anderson's actively choosing to put extreme strain on himself for the sake of fulfilling Alucard's dream.
Tumblr media
Alucard respects and admires Anderson. So when the Nail of Helena is drawn to Anderson's own heart. He panics. Because he doesn't want Anderson to suffer his fate, nor see his dream lost.
Tumblr media
And Anderson does stop. He stops and lets Alucard speak. Lets his words hold weight without interruption. And in doing so treats Alucard as an equal with meaning and worth rather then a mere monster.
He acknowledges Alucard and he respect Alucard when he replies. Explaining himself with a softened pitying expression.
Tumblr media
his explanation portrays two key things beyond what's said; 1) He explains that he isn't doing this to hurt Alucard. Against what Alucard persumed. 2) He's doing it for himself. He knows the consequences, he knows what he's doing, and its in his intrest. Not for Alucard. Not for religion.
But when paired with that softened expression; in which he meets Alucard's gaze. Listens and replies despite his heart already being set. 1 reads as an appology. And 2 reads as reassurance.
After all, its harder to pity a person who willingly desires and acts to become a monster. Even though its Anderson's personal understanding, directly paralleling Alucard, that is exactly why Anderson pities him.
There isn't a thing Alucard could say or do to convince Anderson with such an explanation in mind. Because its built upon a dilemma within Anderson himself. A monster impossible to escape, impossible to fight, and it becomes all consuming through time and expirience. The weight of a human life.
Their dynamic is built for death, but not with the intent to hurt. If it hurts to keep fighting? If Anderson were to stop? To leave? Alucard would let him. He doesn't want Anderson to suffer, in the same way Anderson wishes to end Alucard's suffering. So he could have left. He could have called it all off. But he doesn't. Because at that point, fighting is the only thing that isn't painful. Maxwell forced him to question his role to church and his impact on the orphanage. But fighting Alucard is a familiar song and dance that's without question and is capable of providing comfort when all else is conflict. For their duels are conflict without conflict.

the thing about hotd is that it's very smart of them to instead make it a clash between rhaenyra and alicent because absolutely no one would have actually seen aegon II the dogshit and actually wanted him so they had to actually conscript olivia cooke to do some intense love/hate lesbianism pining 600k hurt no comfort for the show to actually sell

An idea I had, but I can't turn into an one-shot for now.
~
Alucard: Pray, can you repair these? *puts on Hector's table armor, sword and shielf worn by time*
Hector, looking at them: The craftmanship is incredible! The iron is pure, and look at the intricate detail of the hilt! Yes, they are not in bad conditions at all, it is only a matter of removing the rust...
Alucard: Thank you, Hector. This equipment belonged to my mother. She may have made no use of it, but as her heir, it's my responsibility now to take good care of it.
Hector: Lady Lisa? ... I see. I will make sure that they return to their rightful owner not a second too late.
Alucard: There is no need to rush on my account, Hector. I understand that you are under an undeserved amount of pressure.
Hector: It's no trouble at all. I owe it to Lady Lisa and how much she did for me... for all of us. *pause* I did care about her.
Alucard: ... And she did about you, as if you were her own son. *looks away, clearly in pain*
Hector: Forgive me, Young Master, I did not mean to upset you...
Alucard: You did not wrong me in the slightest. *looks at Hector* Hector. You are wasting away in this place. My father... is no longer a person worthy of admiration. He is barely a person anymore. He's using you and Isaac to trample over my mother's wishes. ... I cannot edge a word against Isaac, but you are not like him.
Hector, after a long pause: I... I owe my life to my Lord. But I must confess... I am not sure about what is asking of me. I had never imagined I would be tasked with slaying my own kind... That is not what...
Alucard: My mother's last words to me were a plead to leave humans be. "For theirs is already a hard lot". My father refused to listen to them, but I believe you to be a far better man than he is. *nods* I thank you again for taking care of my mother's equipment: I will make sure to pay you appropriately...
Hector: Are you jesting, Young Master?! No, I refuse. I will do it for Lady Lisa and for you, not any sort of reward.
Alucard: *smiles* This is why I trust you to do the right thing.

Have you seen The Amazing Digital Circus yet?
If so, what's your opinion on it?
I LOVE TADC! It’s my favorite indie show at the moment! There’s just so much I like about it but my main ones are
1. The setting and execution being unique. A horror-like project taking place in an late 90s/early 2000s digital game is not a new idea and same goes with characters being stuck in a purgatory however it’s how the artists reinvent those idea that makes it new. The digital Circus made its own aesthetic that makes it stand out from other projects with similar concepts and designs. When I first watched the pilot, one of many things that stuck out to me was how new the story ideas felt. I couldn’t think of any other pieces of media similar to TADC beside for surface-level comparisons. The TADC created its own aesthetic and knows what it wants to be and I like it!
2. Soundtrack. Speaks for itself, the soundtrack for the pilot is so good especially Your New Home. That song is very catchy and emotional too. It has such a unique melody, everytime you hear the first few notes you instantly recognize it. It does a great job highlighting the dread and existentialism crisis of Pomni’s situation. I recommend to give it a listen if you haven’t.
3. The characters dynamics. I just love how the characters interact with each other. The majority of the jokes comes from characters’ interactions and dynamics and how well everyone plays off of each other. The best example is Jax with everyone, Jax is a funny jerk who likes bullying his peers. It’s funny to see what creative ways Jax will bully the other people whether it’s being sarcastic and making quips at them, or though goofy pranks and how the characters react because of their contrast in personality. Every character beside Jax is openly stressed or worried in someway while Jax, at first seem like a chill layback dude.
4. The characters differences. I adored the differences between each character from how they talk to their poses. After watching HH and HB, I learned to have an appreciation for character differences. It’s just refreshing to see characters allowed to be different instead of the same tired reused tropes and repeating the same type of dialogue again for every character.
5. Mystery and lore. There is so much to explore in the pilot, it’s make you wanting more. When going in to watch the pilot, I made the mistake of thinking the series will be predictable. I didn’t see how they could make this premise work because by the end of it, Pomni will go insane but then I watched the pilot and was speechless. The pilot does a good job setting up questions for the audience to ask. If Caine lied about the exit, what are other things did he lied about? How long has the cast been stuck in the circus? Who are these people? Are they previous game developers? Who were they in their previous lives? What is the company’s motivation to create the headset? What are the abstractions in game? Are they viruses to the game program? Who were the former cast? What horrors has Kinger seen to be as paranoid and easily frighten as he is now? Do the abstractions still have a consciousness? You just want to find out more about the lore to solve the many mysteries in the show. I find it impressive Gooseworx was able to stir up the theorists because they have admitted in an ask, there are already theories floating around that are almost right about the show.
One problem I did have for the pilot were the scenes containing the Gloink Queen. The pacing of the pilot was fine until we got to her then it was slow. I feel it dragged longer than it needed too but beside that, my issues for the pilot ends.
I can’t speak for the fandom on other platforms but the tumblr one is great! Most of the time everyone is being respectful towards each other and I love seeing what creative theories, AU, fanfics, and art the fans created. The only people causing drama are the anti-shippers, and it’s just dumb. All of the cast are adults, if age gaps ships makes people uncomfortable, that’s valid but they shouldn’t make it into other people’s problems. Gooseworx themselves admitted they don’t care for romance and they don’t want fans in the fandom getting harassed over shipping.
Overall despite what issues I had for the pilot and fandom, they’re overshadowed by the positives and I can’t wait to see the full show and the fandom’s growth.
#꧁rambles꧂#➥asks#the amazing digital circus#The TADC is the indie show and fandom I needed#After a year of critiquing Viv and her shows and being a fandom as toxic as HH & HB I just needed a break#I’m still active as you can see but barely posting and critiquing the shows anymore#I do check the critical tags every now and again to catch up and I’m just not interested in consuming any Viv’s content anymore#The last Ep I saw from HB was Unhappy Campers and the last video related to HH was the Happy Day in Hell one#I kinda don’t see the point of being very active on my HH amounts when I’m no longer watching Viv and I think everything to Viv is regressi#Viv is getting more careless about how she presents herself online and people are starting to noticed how much of an ass she really is#responding on a funny shitpost of “If the TADC was written by Viv” lightly making fun of her and she blew up once again#I’ve seen creators with a decent size following in other platform not just Twitter called her out and Viv and the fandom is be the-#reasons why Hazbin will fail#Her fandoms are notorious for being toxic/ fans going out of their way to attack not just haters but anyone who doesn’t praise Viv 24/7#Viv is actively creating toxic environment in her fanbases so she can protect herself from criticism and allegations behind her fans#But because of this Viv is contributing to the future downfall of Hazbin because no one wants to be associated with her because of her fanb#There’s just no reason to stay around#If the reaction to the Prime’s video Happy Day in Hell from outsiders is mixed then the reaction will be too for the full release#Plus the general attitude towards Viv has changed over the last three years#Despite her previous controversies she was see as a respectful creator but now views are mixed#People see her as the indie creator whose show took a nose drive in season 2/doesn’t pay her employees/is immature/and is now seen in a-#more negative light

Was.... that supposed to be the end of FO4? 😐 Like once you've blown up the Institute you get this random nostalgic slideshow that has nothing to do with ANYTHING and that's it? You beat the game! Good for you! But we'll place you back into the world to keep playing I fucking guess? What's going to happen to your friends and The Commonwealth with all the decisions you made?😐 Don't ask us! Not like we're going to make an RPG with the infamous RPG IP, that would be silly!

I can fix him*
*bad writing, underutilized gameplay mechanics, characters with unfulfilled potential, funded by bootlickers
#ra speaks#personal#sorry I made dr phone calls and have like. ten minutes til I gotta get ready for first class of the semester. let me have this.#I think I should get every COD game ever for free. it’s MY tax dollars at work after all (actually anything produced w us military funding#should be free I think I can trap even my bootlicker tax hating dad into getting onboard w this one)#anyways. ghosts was…decent. but jfc if you give me a silent protag I expect SOME self awareness in the writing.#why are characters calling to him on comms when they know he won’t respond? why doesn’t he have an AAC device or something more futuristic?#I’m just saying if you explicitly limit a character you need to respect those limits in te writing. it’s not that hard.#like non of the characters even acknowledge that Logan never talks. esp weird when he first meets the ghosts#also. obv not a big fan of ‘all of South America has United into evil space terrorists’ but it was 2013 so ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯#wish we got to see some SDC civis y’know? get a bear on the average attitudes abt the whole. invading the US thing.#(jfc do not get me started on The Wall like this is a 2016 trump voter’s power fantasy)#also Riley was such an interesting mechanic why couldn’t they have at least substituted him w drones or something on the other missions??#you get him for like. two missions. and then he gets shot and you have to protect him (gosh I actually loved that section)#just. it was clear Logan was The Dog Guy with an aptitude for tech. honestly Hesh felt more like the MC than Logan.#and while Logan doesn’t have a ton of personality we can glean as a result of non speaking + ZERO communication at all ever#seriously he doesn’t even like. wave or give thumbs up to people wtf dude do ppl just assume he’s psychic or something???#I do LOVE the few scenes we get with him acting outside of player control/where he actually has agency (Elias’ death. the final cutscene)#and like it’s not much but it’s enough that I WANT to see what happens next#but alas. a decade old game without a true sequel (I think??? haven’t actually looked into it.)#my brother is making fun of me for being a COD gamer now like boy. I have no defense pls be nice to me T-T

The thing about being a fan of classic literature is that it's becoming incredibly hard to find people to share your passion with and I just think that's super sad
