"acheron and zephyro's fight will be epic" chat i want sampo koski vs asat pramad

[artystozka]

just once i would like to see sam host the Change game but NOT make any changes as a prank. I wonder if the other boys would flounder in fear of lack of direction/unease of when Sam would finally strike or if Sam delve into insanity biting his tongue

The path of the Elation is honestly so fascinating because it's so inherently selfish that it becomes infinitely more versatile. The average Elation follower believes there's no point in life, so might as well have fun. But fun is subjective. What someone deems fun can be boring for another.

You can think a good ending and everyone around you being happy is the best way to have fun so that's how you're gonna try and pursue Elation. Or you think your own pleasure is the only way to have fun, even at the detriment of others.

Does becoming an Aeon look like anything?

When Aha ascended, were people just walking around and the next thing you know the dude who burst out laughing at a baby falling over or something suddenly gets a magical girl transformation into godhood

one main thing i really like abt hsr storytelling is how distant and poweful the aeons seem. we are introduced to them right off the bat, and they’re super intimidating and well-designed. they’re extremely mysterious, more powerful than imaginable, and dont just appear the way archons in genshin do. they’re huge presences and play such interesting roles that we don’t know enough about yet, and i love how they seem so much more powerful than archons in vibes alone.

(and then herta puts them in a computer-)

I feel a strong tumblr sexyman potential in Asat Pramad

[artystozka]

Can we fucking talk about Asat Pramad for a minute because this is deadass one of the coolest character designs they've ever put into this game, full stop.

I enjoy the contrast between the og leverage running joke of "hardison dies in plan m" (but we never go there) and then redemption where they are just. killing harry at the drop of a hat.

Ok but can we take a second to appreciate Luke and AJ’s acting in that final confrontation?? Like the way AJ was playing that character was setting off so many alarm bells for me, I’ve absolutely had the misfortune of encountering men like him before, and it’s even worse when they actively disrespect your sexuality. And Luke REALLY nailed this scene. Like the clear discomfort in the body language, that hint of fear in his voice, the careful and calm navigation of the situation so as to not escalate things further. Like holy shit I’ve been in that EXACT position before. I had a sudden wave of fear and discomfort just wash over me watching that, and I really do mean that as a compliment because it’s a testament to how GOOD that acting was. AND THE WHOLE THING WAS IMPROVISED!!!

Dear artist, dear friend

I would LOVE to see a terrified Senku in your style

Like paralyzed scared

Bonus if Tsukasa is trying to protect him from whatever he's scared of

BUT OF COURSE it's just a greedy ask and I won't be sad whatsoever if you don't have the time

I am however willing to draw smth in return when I'm able to do that again, if you'd like

At your service pal🫂

This is a possible scene as if Hyoga were the main antagonist and attacked village imo

You'll definitely come back, and as my backward request, i dare you to draw a sequel of this, huh? ;]

There are two:

1. "Bus". I just don't like sexual topics and suggestive humour, and this play is full of them.

2. "Inside The Mysterious Cube". As a Ukrainian, the "Putin had some great ideas" joke left a horrible aftertaste on the whole play for me.

To clarify: 'dislike' does not refer to having a least-favourite. 'Dislike refers to one you genuinely don't particularly enjoy watching.

sfth the only media where u get to see a 6'5" 35 year old british man with a beard say very sincerely "i am a lesbian"

I'm thinking more about Annabelle's confrontation with Henry, because the way Luke (and AJ too) play it means so much to me. It's so realistically scary. So many details I adore in that short minute, because it says so much to me as a queer semi-woman:

Henry calls Annabelle "darlin'" straight off the bat. Of course darlin' is a common stereotypical southern term of endearment, but compounded with Henry's affection for Annabelle, and Annabelle's confused, "oh shit does he mean me" reaction, there's a sense I get that he's already verbally claiming her as his beloved. Without her consent. She's very much not endeared.

The very third thing Henry says is "give me your foot". With zero context. He brushes aside Annabelle's denial ("that's not mine"), and when she doesn't want to, he forces it on her.

Annabelle's reaction throughout this is constantly trying to diffuse the situation, downplaying her reactions. Forcing the shoe on her is already harassment, but she just says "I don't like this". She only pushes Henry's hands away as much as necessary so he wouldn't touch her in an act of very understandable panic, and then she puts her hands down like she's trying to calm them both down.

Because the reality is that historically, queer women face violence from cishet men, as both queer people and as women. Annabelle's reactions scream to me that she's aware that Henry, a man and a police officer, has so much social power over her, an eighteen-year-old young woman. It's not about being a bank robber or not (Henry clearly doesn't care either), or that she can shoot well; it's that she's a woman and he's a man, and the common sentiment was (and still is, in many circles) that women are men's belongings. Queer women aren't queer to those men, because queerness gets in the way of their "rightful" claim over women. Henry doesn't have to explain himself, because he feels entitled to have her even though she doesn't know who he is. He refuses to listen when she repeatedly says she's not interested out of entitlement and arrogance. He doesn't even consider that she might not be into men at all!! He forces the shoe on her, like putting shackles on her to claim her as his. He can be as violent as he wants, and she knows it'll be his word against hers if she makes a scene. So she tries not to.

Just. I really love that they didn't shy away from the realities of being queer women. So far most gay couples in sfth are in settings where being gay is accepted, like Ditch, like Bubbamiah. But Annabelle and Butch both don't get to be queer women (or non-men) in an ideal setting with zero homophobia and sexism, and those two intersect very nicely (and realistically) here.

TROPE HIGHLIGHT

"The honey trap", aka when by some means of magic, a character is trapped into a world of their greatest fantasies where everything is perfect so they won't want to run away. Examples include Mabel's prision in Gravity Falls and Coraline's picture-perfect world she has to run away from.
