some of yall need to infantilize sam less. im all for different viewpoints on characters but sometimes it’s just downright disrespectful. “haha sam thinks chocolate milk comes from brown cows” that is a grown man who smokes weed and has a computer science nerd for a best friend
#sdv#stardew valley#just a personal gripe i have with a lot of posts and sometimes even some of the fanfic i read 😭 it happens so often#people dumb him down SO much even though he’s a very smart person. just not in the book smarts way#he is emotionally intelligent! he knows wtf is happening around him! he isn’t patrick star spongebob!#sam stardew valley#shoulder shrugging

"Halsin shouldn't be that big or muscular or look middle aged because he's an elf and the lore sa-"
I actually think he should be bigger and look more middle aged, personally.
#BG3 Musing#Halsin Posting#the man has been non-stop stressed for a century like i'm surprised that didn't prematurely age him MORE#i think he *should* have silver hairs peppered throughout from the endless stress he's been under#and be built like a professional strong man with a significant healthy layer of fat because he *hibernates* and is *practically strong*#and because he says he likes sweet things and doesn't find any point in denying himself things he likes#so you're telling me that man is chiseled and cut like an unhealthy bodybuilder?#no i don't think so#'elf lore says-' this game is literally all about curbing your expectations when it comes to what people are 'meant' to be#elf lore says a lot of things that halsin fits *to a t* - his appearance being out of the 'norm' is not a flaw#but it doesn't matter then does it? only when he physically fits the species paradigm?#'that's not how elf aging works!' why not? you've seen how human's age yeah? different people age in different ways#you can line up ten 50 year olds next to one another and not a single one of them will look the same#the thing is that under every single umbrella there is diversity of experience#people will look and age differently from others - that's just how life and genetic diversity *works*#anyway this is a gripe at two different things at once don't mind me

Currently in the middle of reading a Lawlu soulmate fic and it’s SUPER cute so far but the best thing is that Law is also Cora’s (platonic) soulmate, and Cora’s got the ‘You won’t see in color until you meet your soulmate’ kind of bond. Except it fluctuates depending on Law’s health, and Law runs purely on caffeine and spite, so Cora will text him being like “Hey. For some strange reason I currently cannot see the color red. Would you happen to know anything about that” and Law is just like “Uhhh. No??” and Cora’s like “Law I swear to GOD you’d better stop pulling all nighters do not make me come over there” LMAO
#I LOVE this concept so much oh my godddd#Cora’s ability to see in color all dependent on Law#So he’s got a RADAR. He KNOWS when Law isn’t treating himself well#Cora: Can currently only see in pastels. Law.#Law; sweating: In my defense I HAD to be up all night. Okay??#Cora: EXCUSES!! GO TO BED!!!!!!#FNNSNFNS#It’s called ‘Not a Ball or a Chain’ btw!!#I really love the concept they’re exploring too of like. Not WANTING a soulmate. Not wanting that bond to be romantic#Bc I know a lot of people’s gripes with soulmate AUs revolves around forced destiny and characters HAVING to end up with each other#Idk I just like it 👉👈#One Piece#Lawlu#Also the idea of platonic soulmates makes me soooo happy#Law and Cora are absolutely platonic soulmates 🥺#Shima speaks

I'm always a bit surprised when I see hate for Shaak Ti based on her "Republic property" line like it's some kind of slam dunk statement of her views... have you guys seriously never had to speak someone else's language before? I'm not even trying to comment on her motives or beliefs here- but whether you read her as advocating for Fives or not, if she was 100% unambiguously advocating for Fives there that would still have been the right thing to say to the Kaminoans to get custody of him.
#this just seems like such an obvious thing to me#and i guess it bugs me because there's a lot of focus on people saying the right things and not enough on people doing things#you know in general. on planet earth.#and this is so clearly a place where virtue signalling on Shaak's part would have been 100% useless. The Kaminoans do not care.#she's lawyering. it's such a basic thing.#i don't really want to go into the thornyness of jedi-clone relations right now or what the council did and did not do for and to them.#i know i'm basically a pro jedi blog but I don't think it's perfectly rosy either but i'm tired#so i should probably leave well enough alone#but i felt like griping about this one specific thing#which is not evidence of anything except rules-lawyering#shaak ti

OKAY! Chatot rant in tags below! Read at your own discretion.
#okay starting from the beginning of where ppl usually dislike him. apple woods chapter.#he doesn’t give hero/partner the CHANCE to explain themselves despite them being relatively good recruits up until that point.#and that legit might be my only gripe with that chapter bc!!! stories need conflict! I LIKE the conflict in apple woods!!!#hero and partner being punished so something they didn’t do!#the misunderstanding! how team skull (Skuntank) actually outplays the main duo with a clever yet rotten trick. I LOVE that it segways into-#one of the more sweeter scenes of guild members looking out for eachother. I LIKE APPLE WOODS CONFLICT.#but chatot just. not giving them a chance. is so dumb.#I’d personally fix this by having a lil montage of hero/partner fucking up on jobs. A LOT. and chatot giving them a pass every time.#and let the perfect apple incident BE the one where he puts his foot down and doesn’t listen to them. bc he’d given them loads of chances.#and doesn’t want to hear any excuse.#but yeah. I legit dont mind him during that chapter except for that really stupid and frustrating moment.#NOW. CHAPTER 17.#UGGGGHHH WHERE DO I BEGIN#Him not believing hero and Partner about Grovyle and the future being in ruin? FINE. ACTUALLY GOOD. BC CHATOT WOULD BE SKEPTIC.#IT FITS HIS CHARACTER!!#BUT WHAT DOES SUCK. IS HIM GOING ‘Dusknoir isn’t the bad guy. he didn’t do anything wrong’#WHEN HE LITERALLY KIDNAPPED HERO AND PARTNER RIGHT I N F R O N T OF HIM.#(NO LITERALLY. HIS CHARACTER IS IN THE FRONT ROW WHEN IT HAPPENED.)#and him. having the GALL to tell hero and partner they must’ve been ‘seeing things’ and downplaying the HELL they went through.#despite them being missing for hours/days. his own guild recruits. and his angry sprite showing up.#like. I think that’s when I genuinely despised him.#that and him going ‘OH I BELIEVED YOU THE WHOLE TIME HEEHOO :)’ shit was so fucking annoying.#just playing it off as a joke the second the guild started to believe hero and partner.#IMAGINE IF HE W A S ACTUALLY TESTING THE GUILD’S TRUST. SHOWCASING HIM AS THE MORE RESPONSIBLE AND RESPECTFUL RIGHT HAND OF THE GUILD.#and yes. Brine cave he saves hero and partner. but at that point I just didn’t care anymore.#he fucked those two over so much. that I didn’t care what ‘valiant’ sacrifice he had.#and he grills Team Skull for what they did OFF SCREEN. they couldn’t even give us THAT.#<<< THAT or him outright saying sorry would’ve been nice. IKIK his ‘actions’ or whatever but.#eughh again this is all imo. I’m not trying to make people hate him or change their mind.#I’ll get into positives in the second post cause I’m running out of tags

Hhhh bnha 419… Deku has given this fight everything he has. What happens next is literally out of his hands.
#bnha spoilers#mha spoilers#bnha leaks#bnha 419#rambling followed by a tldr:#I’m sure he’ll get them back#either Eri rewinds him or Shigaraki unlocks the record struction part of his quirk which I saw some people theorizing#but yeah. Deku has faught physically as much as he possibly can. he has transferred all of OFA to Shigaraki and attampted to connect#with his mind. the boy once entrusted with the responsibility to destroy AFO now has to rely on others to finish this battle for him#unless the leaks are fake in which case carry on as usual#bc I also have gripes with him losing his arms#theres a lot of arm/hand imagery and symbolism in bnha#the all night I Am Here fist in the air#Katsuki’s whole hand holding thing#the recent thing about relief in reaching out to someone in need and them taking your hand#ffs the last few chapters Deku literally had to plow through shigaraki’s mutant finger chiton to get to his core.#his early recklessness resulting in permanent scarring and deformity in his hands as a reminder fight smarter not harder#and to adapt and be his own kind of hero and not keep trying to be an all might copy#I’m rambling but yeah. hands. losing them means losing some important symbolism but losing is also its own symbolism yknow?#TLDR#he’s gotta trust his fellow heroes to step in where he can’t but also if he doesn’t get to do a classic all might pose after all this istg#needs to accept he did everything in his power but also if he and Katsuki don’t finally take each others hands after this ISTG

I'm not including a situation where someone might be injured because in that case I'm thinking the bed goes to them by default or they are nominated for it. anyone who wants to be chatty goes to join the living room floor gang.
What are your thoughts and headcanons? Do you have thoughts on how the boys tend to approach assigning beds in inns? Who do the chain choose to sleep near when camping and why? What are their dynamics like when settling down for the night and getting ready for the day?
In "Mirror Vs Open Closet Door: Fight!" by Gintrinsic (here) Four refers to the chain's decision on how to split up between inn rooms as the "Link-per-room ratio" which I find very funny. He, Sky, and Time also talk about their thought process behind why they do or don't want to sleep in a room with some of the others which I find fun and interesting.
So! If you have thoughts and want to share them! *gestures to the post!*
#linked universe#linkeduniverse#alrighty! now for my answers-#for the ranch question I think it varies which is why I'm asking in a poll. What do you think happens most often though?#each answer is a fun scenario so it's difficult to choose#but I think they'd try to act politely around Malon and Time for the first couple visits with straws or rock paper scissors#or showing generosity by offering the bed to someone else. (I bet Malon saying they're charming is quite the incentive#for more possible compliments. The chain as a whole would want to prove her right xD )#Once they're more comfortable in the house though I can totally see Wind and Legend making a mad dash for it while Wars yells after them xD#Wind probably ends up sharing with Four a lot since they're the littles#or Wind snuggles in with Wars Legend Wild etc#Wild and Twi/Wolfie have claimed the spot on the floor by the fireplace.#For inn rooms / castle rooms / camping - I tend to group them by how they're grouped a lot already#but a lil mixed up#Time - Sky - Wars are the good rest trio. they want a good night's rest please let them get their beauty sleep. often joined by Four#Wars goes between this group and wherever Legend is depending on how chatty he is that night.#Twi - Wild - Hyrule are snuggle/proximity buddies#Legend is attached to Hyrule's hip or sets up near Warriors to gossip and gripe. I can also see him setting up near Wild#in the eye of the storm as it were or just an interesting place to be. Wild and Hyrule can get to chatting about everything and anything#so if Legend wants background noise (Hyrule and Wild podcast omg)-#or a conversation he can be half a part of and jump in and out of while getting ready for the night or in the mornings-#this is a good place to be. add Wind and things get a bit more chaotic.#Wind gravitates to Wars and Legend too when curious and chatty. He gravitates towards Time when he wants something calmer.#Four tends to be near Sky or Twi or to Legend's group for the same reasons#I can see Four and Twi having a little book club going during downtimes where they talk about what they're reading. Sky likes to listen. <3#Wind thinks they're nerds but so is he and he can't resist a good story so he orbits and sometimes settles in and peppers questions.#it's funny that Time Sky and Wars want to sleep the most but Legend follows Wars to chat (and ends up bringing people with him xD )#there could be some conflict there oooo#Twi is by Time#it's almost a circle but with clusters of sleeping bags near on top of each other and filling the gaps

The weed is making me courageous so I think my biggest unpopular opinion for Bg3 is I don’t think Astarion is sexy or cute or anything at all really. He’s just there. Like he’s just a dude with an attitude problem lol like I keep seeing people compare the man to a renaissance painting like he’s fucking Lestat. Dude wishes he was Lestat lmao he’s just some white man with high cheekbones 😂😂
#bg3 critical#astarion critical#larian studios critical#and I also don’t like how he received obvious favoritism from the writers#but that’s a whole other gripe#if I didn’t know about the weird fandom obsession for him and Larian’s favoritism I prob would use him more#idk rubs me the wrong way which sucks cause I like his character a lot and he makes me laugh#but I’m sick of seeing him ig?#at least online#like give me more shadowheart or Wyll or anyone else#this prob why I like bloodweave so much cause it removes me (Tav or Durge) from having to interact with him more haha#also totally unrelated but make the game four acts (there’s four chosen technically)#act 1 set up act 2 Kethric act 3 Orin act 4 Gortash#switch Orin and Gortash around but FUCK just balance out the villains please lmao

why is all paleoart so stiff and boring? like is it just 90% of what you see is cheap stuff commissioned to illustrate grade-school textbooks. or what? there's gotta be some paleoartists out there just killing it.
#if you accidentally use good lighting or composition in your illustration of the carboniferous period#the Secret Guild of Paleoartists comes to your house and skeletonizes you#before mounting you in a display as a warning to others#a lot of astronomical art has this problem too#especially of like views from exoplanets' surfaces#like i think it's doing a bad job of communicating information#“this is what the silurian might have looked like”#no this is what a bunch of random silurian animals that are anatomically correct#but look like they're made of stiff plastic might have looked like#this may seem like a stupid gripe *and it is*#but this is one of those areas where representational art is still like important#and contributes to the culture!

Atla live action 😐
#thats my honest reaction 😐#to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid#like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat#or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already#good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive#to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil#i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better#but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because#it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak#and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but#come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and#makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality#i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was#IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys'#and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall#AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think#plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS#a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason#im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your#audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small#thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small#its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers#i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang#anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and#rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz#netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub#no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same#ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me#i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing#yapping

Doing my occasional pop back into this fandom to say, I actually think “Lesbian necromancers in space” is a great way to hook new readers into TLT.
I think it neatly encompasses the vibes of the worldbuilding. "Necromancers” tells you this is going to be spooky, dramatic, sort of high fantasy, the sort of story where you can expect things like cavaliers, emperors and princesses to exist. “In space” tells you that it’s going to be all of that, but with a twist, and of course it tells you that it’s sci-fi on top of being magic, so please also expect rockets, techno-babble and vat wombs.
And “lesbians” tells you it’s going to be queer about all of it.
That.. sounds perfect to me? It sounds like a very neat encapsulation of TLT’s worldbuilding?
No, of course it doesn’t convey the funky gender exploration going on, it doesn’t touch on the themes of imperialism, grief, abuse and love, but it isn’t supposed to. It’s a blurb. It is meant to be a scene setter so you’ll read the actual summary.
#TLT#The Locked Tomb#I don't get what is the gripe against the blurb. It is a fantastic blurb.#of course it doesn't convey EVERYTHING about the series#it isn't MEANT to#the summary and cover art are meant to be pulling their weight as well#I personally think we should be complaining about the cover art a lot more.#have I said today I hate the cover art?. I hate the cover art!#there is a hot take for you.
