it's a little early for egg/human designs but in my mind pepito is like... the opposite of bobby in most ways visually. bobby was a little mini roier, but i like to think pepito has longer dark hair, like some of the other parents (or black, like the dad that hasn't been alive to be around)

the kind of long hair that falls in pepito's face, that would be easily pushed out of the way with a headband. but pepito prefers to let the curtain of hair fall in the way. it's an easy way to avoid conversations and eye contact.

i like to think bobby asked for a matching headband with roier almost as soon as he realized roier had a headband. pepito isn't going to ask, and roier won't offer.

Is there a Jason or Bruce centric fic where Jason and Bruce sit down and have a talk, Jason starts bringing up how B should have killed Joker or at least made it so he couldn't hurt anyone ever again, and Bruce is just like "if I had beaten Joker that badly, I wouldn't have stopped until he was dead. And then I would have moved on to the next villain. Then the next. Then the next. Until I turned into a serial killer bent on killing every drug dealer, every corrupt businessman, every minor villain in Gotham." and something clicks with Jason that if Bruce killed someone with his own hands he probably wouldn't stop?

okay final DA2 thoughts: for all that it’s a game about power, and using ideology to justify power, and also runs up against the theme in many places of people becoming what you expect them to be--that is, if you treat people like brutes, they become brutal--it doesn’t really address these themes in a satisfying way. it doesn’t quite have the thematic unity of purpose that would take it from a good RPG to a great RPG.

but it is a good RPG. moving from a roving-all-over-Ferelden story to a exploring a single city over the course of three acts in six years is a great decision! the game is neither padded to be overly long, nor too short, though act 3 does feel a tad rushed due to its development history, i think. the cast of characters is all pretty good, and it feels related to its predecessor in satisfying ways while also still being its own story. it doesn’t suffer from middle-of-the-trilogy syndrome that a lot of narratives do when a one-off story gets expanded, and i think the distinct protagonists and structures of each DA game help with this a lot.

it’s also a step in the right direction in terms of better art direction; DA:I has, i think, absolutely amazing interstitial and secondary art, plus the game itself looks very nice (although a bit in that bland high realist style that all triple-A games must now conform to). DA:I also has some sick music. the combat is more fun that DA:O, though not as fun as DA:I (if i remember, it’s been a while since i played that one). inventory management is somehow even worse. the DLC missions that came with the pack that was on sale kind of suck balls--they don’t fit into the narrative of the base game at all, and feel very tacked on--but i always feel that dlc in bioware games is unsatisfying, and normally i don’t go out of my way to acquire it. so i’m not really disappointed by that, it’s just sort of meh.

on my "RPGs in my Steam library” ranking list i’d put it ahead of DA:O, FO4, DX:HR, and ME1, but behind the original DX, FO:NV, DA:I, and Skyrim.

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol

this is your random reminder to CHECK IF YOU'RE STILL HAVING FUN

are you enjoying scrolling tumblr? watching youtube? reading that book? playing that game? drawing that art? doing that activity? if not,

YOU CAN STOP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE

you don't have to stick to something that you are doing for fun if it isn't fun for you anymore. You can come back! If you've loved it before you are likely to love it again! but you can stop!

Don't get stuck in a loop of doing something that you think should be fun when it isn't! You can put it down for a bit! Maybe that's the very thing that will make it fun again later!

just having some fun with interesting fantasy imagery! Give it a reblog, if you play, please? And tell me WHY you picked what you picked if you want?

idk if anyone else felt this way, but in the Shapeshifter ep of Dungeon Meshi, it's treated like a joke that all the copies of Laios are super obviously not him, but isn't it kind of fucked up that Laios's closest companions don't seem to view him as... whole?

None of his companions had an accurate view of him as a person! One of the copies was a stupid, drooling mess! And on top of this, they all believed that because Laios struggles with social cues he wouldn't be observant to them as people. They just... fundamentally don't understand him.

I think the really accurate copies of the rest of the party was drawn from Laios's mind. His powers of observation and analytics are his strength, but that's not the same as being good with social cues.

Anyway. It made me really sad. I know his party cares about him, but it's so isolating to know your friends don't know you.
