so I started playing on of the sao games (Alicization Lycoris) and just finished chapter 1, which unlocks the "create character" screen
which means you can just force fem Kirito, but it just goes from:
to this once you flip to female:
Which feels funny, in a 'didn't need to change much there, girl!' sense
(This game has a lot of very forcefemmable npcs, btw)

I love the "he asked for no pickles" meme with doorkeay bc I've only ever seen it with Gerry being the one talking and u just KNOW it's not bc Michael doesn't want to correct the food staff, but that it wants to correct them a little too much. Gerry has to step in otherwise they'll be there for at least another hour of Michael spinning some philosophical bullshit and scaring some poor fast food worker, and while Gerry doesn't necessarily mind Michael doing that in and of itself (he knows the thing he's in love with), as the only one of the two of them who actually needs material food he would like to eat that food before it gets cold tyvm.

okay, but where's my steddie AU where steve wants to learn to play guitar to impress a girl he's infatuated with and he remembers that munson kid was always hanging up posters for his weird band at school, so he hikes out to eddie's usual dealing spot behind the track and asks (with far less groveling than he really should have) if eddie will teach him how to play, and obviously eddie says no because why would he want to help king steve, but of course, steve offers to pay him, $20 a week, and well, that's the kind of get-the-hell-out-of-this-shithole-town cash eddie really can't afford to refuse, so fine, he'll teach steve to play and they'll spend inordinate amounts of time together tucked away in eddie's room and they'll start to see that they have more in common than they thought and that they kind of had each other all wrong, and eddie will put his hand over steve's to help him get the placement for a tricky chord and it totally won't awaken anything in either of them?? where is it??
edit: i started writing it

one thing that stands out to me about the IVF arc is the way that, for as much as i make fun of her for asking her coworker if she can have his babies, scully asking mulder to be involved in the biggest process of her life (and the most important thing in the rest of her life) is such a healing and reverent experience. like he says “i’m absolutely flattered,” but it’s so much more than that. it’s like…spending your whole life feeling like you should’ve died at age twelve and then being told someone just wants more of you, more and more and more, in everything.

Sometimes I remember how fucking funny "Rampage" is as an episode. Like "Payback", the season one finale, has us all geared up for a big fight between Rex and Van Kleiss (I think the term Rex used was "nanite war", pretty hypey way to refer to it) and then we get "Rampage". On a side note, having ramifications for "Payback" in the form of Rex having to crash on his boyfriend's couch is cool. Sort of a neat little way to convey how bad that attack was.
Anyway, we're all geared up for a nanite war, we got some exposition and stuff, and then Van Kleiss just. Shows up. He's here to steal Providence's new power core. On any other day, this would be a bit out of character for him. He's usually pretty goal-focused. He has what he's trying to get to further his evil plans and if he gets to settle an old score? Even better! For him, at least.
The reason I say that this would normally be out of character is that he does not in any way shape or form NEED Providence's new power core. Whatever he does to get his money, he has it and he has a lot of it. Of course it seems like very little goes to the cause of not making his country terrible, because he's a dick, but the point is if he needed a power core he could ABSOLUTELY just buy one. He could probably buy a better one, in fact. He might have a better power core already that's still functioning. He is doing this because he is a petty bitch.
Dude was salty af about not getting to destroy Providence, found out that they had a new power core, and decided to take his salt and rub it in Providence's almost-getting-destroyed-wound by stealing it. And then he turned Rex's boyfriend into an EVO just for shits and giggles, and spent the entire episode just getting the shit kicked out of him (except for that one scene where he's fucking creepy) by getting hit by forklifts and trains and a super fun fight with Rex's new build and soon-to-be unEVO'd boyfriend. AND HE STILL WINS, even though Rex beat the shit out of him and cured Noah, BECAUSE HE GOT THE POWER CORE.
It dashes your expectations in the funniest way possible and the writing still makes it feel completely in character, even though VK has never pulled shit like this before and never will again. And it is my favourite episode, mostly because I get to watch Van Kleiss get hit by a train. He should do that more often.
