After Isa's redemption in KH3, I'll never find it not funny as a huge fan of FFVIII that the fanon consensus is that the new "nemesis" of the Seasalt Trio or at least Roxas and Xion is Seifer.
I dunno how much of the KH fandom has played FFVIII, and in-universe it makes sense given Seifer is the "neighborhood bully" of Twilight Town. However, given what VIII players know about him, it's hilarious and cathartic to see these two kids either bonk him with copied claymores in response to him trying to intimidate them into giving him their ice cream money, curbstomp him at Struggle right after calling them "lamers" or "chicken wusses", or accidentally drop half-eaten popsicles on his face when, in his universe of origin, Seifer was a major war criminal who, among other things, dropped all sorts of horrible endgame monsters including actual malboros onto a hugely populated city (which like any VIII fan can tell you, malboros are already nope on a stick in general, but in VIII in particular they're excessively brutal).
Roxas and Xion are just delivering Seifer some belated karma from 1999 is all and I'm loving every second of it.
#Kingdom Hearts#Final Fantasy#Final Fantasy VIII#Roxas#Xion#Seifer Almassy#Seasalt Trio#Seasalt Squad#Rokushi kinda?#I will say though#Roxas and Xion -insert handshake here- Squall and Rinoa#Power couples against Seifer Almassy#I'll never find that not funny#Sorry Seifer you're an interesting character but as you are a bully this post shall bully you slightly#One of the many reasons I wish the FF characters had more spotlight in KH3 or will get spotlight in KH4#Because I want the Seasalt Trio to meet some of the characters chiefly Squall/Leon and a newly-introduced Rinoa#Not just to bond over literally and metaphorically hitting Seifer with a rolled-up newspaper#Just sort of comparing stories#Particularly Xion and Rinoa would have SO MUCH to unpack due to having been in similar states of mind at least at one point#Also comedy ensues when Leon already psuedo-adopted Sora and now accidentally adopted Roxas#It just kind of happens it's his destiny to adopt all the Soras#I'm so sorry I love FFVIII so much I would die happy if Rinoa ended up in KH#Same with Laguna he'd be a lot of fun to have#Sadly I think the FF characters are going to be gradually phased out as the series progresses until they're nonexistent#BUUUT I can dream

I like how when you draw characters they look like they have meat on their bones.
I try i dont like overally skinny characters tho I fear I still lean heavily on the one type of body shape unfortunately I'm trying to work on it
#ask#anon#ask game#trying to unlearn years of fatphobia is so hard#which funny story#when i was little my mum used to say to me#“youd be so pretty if you just lost that weight you have”#it was like her catchphrase from when i was seven until she moved to another country when i was 15#but the other day i was helping sort through some old photos a lot of which were taken when i was that age#and i realised i was so skinny back then#not like 2000s skinny#but still just compared to how fat i am now its so funny

from what I've read, the Beatles were confined most of the time on tours and not allowed to go out, especially after the beatlemania hit full force. ofc, Mal would let some girls in (after they went through him), but sounds like it didn't happen all the time.
so the only natural conclusion is that John and Paul were too busy fucking to fuck other women. hoping the same for George and Ringo ofc, but I just know John and Paul were doing the nasty
see, and it's soooo interesting bc then you also have accounts on the opposite end of the spectrum of all 4 of them taking turns with a girl or them running around with a different girl every night in australia and fucking like rabbits. and john's comment about it being like the satyricon.
and that makes me WONDER if a lot of it is truly just exaggeration or sort of an in joke like it would make sense if they were confined more than they make it out when they talk about their wild touring days and shit. bc like if we take them at their word on that (& they've literally all like independently proved that they love lying to the media and think it's hilarious) then i truly just think it's HIGHLY improbable that there's this much weird silence around claims of illegitimate beatle children. in which case that's just a mystery to me.
(also john and paul were absolutely fucking, yeah. i mean what are you gonna do with all that tension!)
#and beforeeee anyone comments like#ofc i know about the accounts there Are#there's just so few comparatively and i wouldn't necessarily Believe all of the wildest stories#bc usually those sorts of rumors never have any hard evidence just like. it's believable bc they're famous yk#but like it's just super interesting to me ! not even for any old man yaoi reasons#but like. The Gilded Cage situation#and none of this is to say i don't think they were having a lot of sex bc i'm sureeeee they were#but it's just ridiculous if it's at the scale people claim but theres 0 little baby beatles running around lmao

theres something to be said about the accidental symbolism of the horns in double life
grian got ponder originally which is a doo doo dudooooo kinda pattern and then got seek which is the same pattern but with a scratchier sound and offered it to scott
their stories then mirror in both having previously done a series with their partner and this time (somewhat) rejecting them (and later being tortured by them) only scott fully rejected pearl to live across from cleo while grian still kept scar around but tried to be secret soulmates with bigb. and ultimately scott and pearl did the whole sacrifice for the other person to win thing, reprising grian and scar's 3rd life ending same pattern, different sound.
(theres also something to be said here about how they are similar people, you can see it in the quiet agreement to stand around and get butted at by goats and in the bit where scott punches scar, sees grian take damage and "*he knows" and he knows he knows he knows and scott realizes what grian realized, that grian is once again trailing reluctantly after scar to keep him safe but also knows he shouldn't tell scar cause grian hasn't. they're both very intelligent in similar ways and it shows)
later on grian got another ponder (which he offered to scar instead of the seek he initially gave him) and mentioned how there was a reply to it (sing, du dudoooo) that he really wanted (and later jimmy and tango got)
so more narrative comparisons. the two soulmate pairs at that point have matching horns, grian and scar are ponder and jimmy and tango are sing. notoriously jimmy and scar are the two that everyone was scared of being partnered with because they die and take damage a lot. the thing i find interesting is how different their narratives are grian and scar had already been partnered and worked together previously, meanwhile, jimmy and tango had barely spoken prior. you'd expect that the two who were already friends and found out they were partnered (or at least grian found out) in a more or less positive way would choose to be friends, no? and you'd think that the two who didn't know each other and met by dying would have an awkward stumbling dynamic and possibly resent (in character) each other, right? but turned out it was the opposite way around (because of personalities blah blah blah). its not super related to the horn patterns I'll admit but something about the way.. its almost as if grian's horn says this is how it is (this being like rejecting scar because of their past) and the ranchers horn being like what if it doesn't have to be (something about clean slates, seeing people in new light, reintroducing yourself, taking all the best of a person despite a bad circumstance like yknow. killing them when you first meet. don't know anyone else whos accidentally blown up someone when they first met cough cough 3rd life cough)
please feel free to add your thoughts
#i dont think i fully got my point across about ranchers and desert duo#tbh i forgot the point i was trying to make halfway through writing it lol#i love comparing narratives and patterns and stories#patterns coming up in this series is so cool to me because its unscripted#they didnt mean for the narrative things to happen#another one im crazy about is how the first third and fifth winners had the person in second place offer themselves up and say kill me#i want you to win#and then the second and fourth winners had a sort of#self awareness about it being a game#and made themselves win#anyway#just thoughts#double life#3rd life#third life#life smp#life series#grian#scott smajor#smajor1995#goodtimeswithscar#gtwscar#gtws#jimmy solidarity#tangotek#pearlescentmoon#bigb#bigbstatz#desert duo#scarian

who up seeing their disorder in a fictional character but feel like its not their place to put a name on it
#id have to be waterboarded before i can talk abt how i see a lot of my adhd and personality in mitsumi iwakura let alone post it#idk how to talk abt this without feeling like im talking over or invalidating ppls experiences relating with a character#someone was talking abt how ppl tie laios' autism to special interest and social difficulties but not much else which kinda flattens it#and then went into a respectful in depth analysis of other autistic behaviour that laios exhibits and it wasnt phrased meanly#its fascinating and important to me to hear someone explain a little bit abt traits that they recognized and often go overlooked#because it does help me learn more about it. but i think thats also where hesitancy kicks in when it comes to depicting it accurately#like i have adhd and some of my adhd symptoms overlap with autism (time blindness and pattern seeking behaviour) but that only means#it feels familiar to me even without having autism. on top of that traits arent always cleanly determined as being /caused/ by#a disorder. to understand my environment i compare it to something unrelated but similar to make it more familiar and for the longest time#i thought that was a personality thing and not an information processing thing since i loved playing pretend in my head as a kid#so if you make a character who experiences that hoping to reach people that also experience that and tell them its not weird or#smth youre making up like. thats the goal. ppl who dont get it arent expected to it just means it doesnt cater to them but it helps them#become familiar to it yk? since i dont have autism myself i dont feel confident i can depict it properly or explain it in my own words#but that doesnt mean im trying to dismiss it or try and cut it out completely.. ill just leave the floor open to someone who /can/#a lot of issues around fanon depictions are when smth is baselessly popularized or a characters personality and behavior is flattened#especially to fit them into a trending meme. its harmless and its supposed to be for fun but it gets tricky when you drag things that#need to be carefully explained beforehand or else it gets lost in translation. like that tweet abt 'hyperfixating' on cooking pasta#once it becomes popular language usually the original meaning is left out for the sake of simplifying it for everyone that when it#circles back theres a sort of hesitancy like. am i using it the way it was intended or am i unknowingly using the popularized version of it#actually thats probably why i felt wrongfooted during diagnosis bc it felt like i was misusing the words i heard to describe what i felt#i /know/ i see a lot of myself in mitsumi because our minds are always somewhere else and we tend to put good faith first and for me#that personal connection is enough. but idk it feels like its always gonna have to be 'palatable' first before i can talk abt it openly#mad respect to writers and creators who stick to their story even if theres the looming fear of ppl misinterpreting it and letting them#have it.. its been almost 2 weeks and i am so close to deleting that m3 dunmeshi drawing bc ppl keep saying chilchuck wouldnt have 200 HP#IT LITERALLY SAYS I MADE IT WHILE WATCHING EP 1. I USED EARTHBOUND LOGIC AND I WASNT EVEN TAKING IT SERIOUSLY CHILL#yapping

a friend who'd wait :)
#im posting this very late because i was sort of weary of how it came out and ended up messing w it until it was like 4am oops.#and i have plans tmrw so... oh well! i did my best and ill put it out while i can!#and i tried to make the scene match barnard's colors lol#finn's ocs#finn's art#i know i said id do more sillay stuff with the simpler screentone only style but i had a couple more of these in me#and this is the first piece im making thats like an actual part of the story too rather than just setting stuff for fun#i wanna write something to go with it too but for now ill just sort of briefly explain the context in the tags here:#barnard has a pretty bad case of OCD and his compulsions have made it difficult to make friends in the past#he was never outright bullied or anything but people just didnt really have the patience to deal with it#he has compulsions that include stuff like walking through doors until it feels right and needing things to be perfectly aligned#which in group settings has lead to people having to wait for him to finish his rituals and join them#they might find it tolerable at first but eventually they grow impatient and hes just... not invited to stuff anymore#but juno is a newer member of the guild who ends up frequenting the same library. hes also kinda a little weird#and they dont become fast friends or anything but just sort of naturally spend time in the same place#though they never plan meetups they eventually fall into a routine. around the same time theyd just both be at the library#and read next to each other. and maybe talk a bit. and eventually they end up walking back to the guildhall together#since theyre going to the same place after all. and juno always waits for barnard outside the door#eventually barnard asks if this bothers him. juno kinda just tells him 'of course it does' without any malice or anything. just a statement#barnard is surprised and apologizes and juno says not to. but the next day juno doesnt show up at the usual time.#barnard assumes hes committed somekinda more by bringing it up. he ends up staying there late reading to get his mind off it & not ruminate#but when he leaves juno is in fact still waiting for him down the hall (see pic) having collected a bunch of books literally abt ocd#he fell asleep bc barnard stayed later than expected. and hes an eepy guy generally. and also one very bad at expressing himself#but now barnard gets that juno's 'of course it [bothers me]' had the implication of 'but its worth it' which no friend has previously done.#and from the interaction juno was also able to understand that this isn't something barnard just does for the hell of it so. he studies.#and checks a bunch of stuff out because he thinks it could help his friend too (theres ocd workbooks and such- i remember working w them)#and thats the point where they became more ''friends'' than ''pleasant library acquaintances''#from there on they also do get into juno's problems. whole other bag of worms. but this specific scene is more about bernard from his pov#sorry about when i said briefly explain. i lied </3#but compared to the whole sequence im picturing its brief so shhh

Starlin may dislike Robin in general rather than Jason personally, but when he writes shit like this where Jason is made to look like a bad student who Bruce struggles to teach, and Dick is the True hero who has to set him straight and clean up after him… it sure feels personal!
And look at the way Jason’s dialogue is written/ how he’s drawn in this issue and the issue prior:
He’s kind of… a huge dweeb. He’s obviously anxious, but in a way that fails to be endearing because he’s simultaneously shown to be careless.
He stumbles over his words in a way that indicates he’s struggling to face the situation at hand, and it’s made worse by the fact that Jason apparently finds getting reprimanded by Bruce or defying Nightwing to be a situation more difficult- more worthy of anxiety- than any of the other dangerous stuff he was doing. Like he really is written as someone who does not take the vigilante game seriously here.
Idk. This is a flashback issue which ends with Jason sort of redeemed by virtue of getting on good terms with Dick, and if this characterization had been allowed to stay in the past it would’ve been ok I guess. But Jason dies a little while later and instead of this little arc where Jason went from a shitty kid to a decent hero who made good on the legacy Dick left him, he is just Entirely defined as this shitty reckless kid.
Thanks I hate it!
#it’s not that I find the premise of this issue unreasonable#Of course Jason would’ve made mistakes starting out#how many times has Dick been boy hostage in the old old days lol#but the devil is in the details#notice that although Dick and Jason make up at the end of the story it’s really got nothing to do with Jason himself#and everything to do with how magnanimous Dick is#(and hey Dick is who this issue is about so I won’t bitch about that but)#we the readers are sort of left to assume that Jason got less shitty over time#that is how Jason went from this shitty Robin to the decent Robin we know- Dick’s influence#All this rambling just to say that I don’t take Starlin’s run very seriously#I’m not even invested in the arc of Jason learning to go from shallow to true hero#because the whole reason Bruce picked Jason up#trained him and continued to allow him to be his partner#is because he was so similar to Dick from the get-go#it’s a boring arc in comparison to what Collin’s set up with Bruce frequently comparing Jason to Dick during the months they were training#jason todd#batsalt

Me: can we have The Raven Boys?
Mom: we have raven boys at home
The Raven Boys at home:
#mine#the raven boys#the girl with the steel corset#the raven cycle#i cant explain it its just the vibes#griffin is such a off-brand gansey and sam fills the ronan role (except hes the worst. unironically i hate him so much)#and finley has the blue role (shes nowhere near as good as blue although i do kinda like finley a bit)#alright adam and emily dont work for this comparison but you get the idea#anyway ive been thinking about this the whole time i read the book. it feels like its trying to evoke a similar feeling as trb but it fails#its also not very good#they have nothing in common as far as the story goes its just the way the characters feel is sort of smth i need to compare#might have to write a post about this book but im tired#also the cover is so bad it looks like a self published romance book#its a young adult/teen steampunk fantasy book fyi

maybe its sample bias but i think it's kinda funny how most people I've seen who've played drakengard because of nier are making ending e THE endgoal and more often than not the main if not only reason they're playing the game at all and when they finally get it they're like "this is it the single most impactful, greatest moment of all gaming. im wiping tears from my eyes this is it" and then you see the drakengard fans who've played drakengard because they like drakengard and you ask them about ending e and they're like "eh. it was okay, i guess"
#gu6chan's musings#i think it's different when you view it as the ending/finale to the GAME vs the literal thing you play the game for#honestly though if im being 100% fr.... im kinda not even neutral on ending e i think it kinda sucks lol#like#i dont HATE it#but it's definitely really weak not even in a 'final fuck you to the player' type way just a.... bad way?#like its too absurd and out of nowhere to be taken seriously but it takes ITSELF too seriously to be considered a joke#so its just kinda a weird unsatisfying blend that left me like 'huh. i think they should have left off at ending d' which DOES manage to be#a sort of slap on the wrist 'reward' for players who CONTINUE to slaughter and thereby follow the general theme of the game while still#respecting the time and effort they put into THEIR product. it's not... satisfying? at least in the way an ending should be; but it still#felt like a worthwhile conclusion that solidly BUILT UP and RESPONDED to players' curiosity and expectations#ending e just kinda gave the feeling that the staff didn't really have confidence or even a thought players LIKED their product so they just#kinda threw whatever at them which in other cases it would be a silly joke#but positioning it as the 'finale' of the game just felt kinda wrong and disrespectful lol. left a bad taste in my mouth#bc again its ONE thing not to 'reward' players with a happy ending who are just casually playing and may be somewhat interested in the story#but if you're going to the point of collecting SIXTY FIVE WEAPONS its no longer just about casually playing#these ppl have a GENUINE drive and desire to see how much higher the stakes can get and again#the ending is just really.... lukewarm and unserious compared to the actual RESOLUTION players got regardless of the tone of the ending?#if that makes sense#im rambling at this point ending e isn't even my LEAST Favourite ending (I'm sorry c; I love you but that goes to you) but godddd#i have so many issues with it#rhythm game is fun once youve actually gotten the damn thing though

how would you rank the ninja from worst to best based on the ninjago seasons youve seen?
Nya and Wu are the best, everyone else is the same to me
#Conceptually. Loyd; Garmadon; and Kai are interesting.#However later seasons of Loyd and Garmadon are so. They were kinda nuked#Like what do you MEAN Garmadon wasn't capable of having compassion or caring for Loyd (crystal king part 2). Like#Garmadon loved Loyd. That was a pretty important aspect of s1-2#like hello#What#the other ninja feel kinda the same to me for the most part? Especially in dragon rising. Specifically in dragon rising.#All of their one-liners have no distinct character voice. They're interchangeable. I'm going mad#Nin//jago compels me in a ''why is this so bad'' way. Or maybe it's that Sea Nya was so good compared to everything? idk#Like why was there something like that 14ish seasons in a fairly bland show. It boggles me. I'm boggled#I actually didn't watch any other part of Seabound.#In my experience ninja//go is best experienced by watching the finale/payoff#So you can fill in the set-up in your head.#I also watched a sort of edit about nya on youtube. Which gave me more context for her character#I need to stop doing a deep dive into ninj//ago like this doesn't interest me at all. I'm losing my mind. I must ignore my dark curiosity#Of wondering ''is there anything else like sea nya'' and the answer being no#I'm crying at how bad oni Loyd was like truly#Uhhhh Cole's stuff with grief wasn't awful? Or doesn't seem to be?#just like. Serviceable I guess#I'm going to be driven mad by ninja//go this shit is just. I can't even describe how I feel rn#It's so mush. It's hollow. It has nothing I like about stories or animation in it.#And I don't mind crazy lore! I'm a kh fan! But the lack of underlying logic. It makes me feel disoriented#It's like watching natla where every new line feels like it wasn't written with the last in mind#Like I guess if people like the characters????? Like that's it that's all you have#Like THIS is the show people are talking about when they're saying something is just a ''kids show'' you know#Why am I doing this this was a show made to sell merchandise it literally does not matter#I guess since the ninj//ago fandom and the lmk fandom are so closely connected I just see stuff for these characters all the time#ninjago critical#anon#asks

Considering the concept that if golbez had truly been one of the 13th's warriors of light, had turned into the dark inside of himself to cope with his losses, and still - countless years later - has dug himself out of his despair to repent for what he's done. That there is still goodness in there. That he did what he thought was right for his people - and that he realized his errors and wants to get back on a better path...
Gaius could be a warrior of light, too.
#just consider. consider#the villain in your story is the hero in their own. and there is goodness in trying again#anyway. one day ill have money for my gol.bez/c.ecil tattoo#ⅹⅳ loci phantasma ( ooc. )#ⅹⅳ tertius oculus ( hcs. )#there is more beauty and there is more. emotional attachment to heroes who weren't born good#who did good for the wrong reasons. who has flawed morals and is trying now.#there's something far more noble about clawing your way to goodness compared to simply having it as a sort of birthright

all that said. despite so much of this stuff being heavily future-based. i find og jsr more fun to actually Play LMAO
#mod noname#not yoyo#like. i dont know if i can say one is better than the other#they are very different games that try to do very different things#and they have diff strengths and weaknesses too#like i prefer the og's artstyle but future has more fun settings#and i think i geeeenerally would say im a future ost guy (though theyre both very good)#(us!og jsr has dragula which is hilarious to me and a point in its favor tho.)#and future obviously has more story stuff going on. and hits my preferred sweet spot of zaniness i think#but og jsr is just straight up more fun for me#the combat in future is not great imo and i def prefer how FUCKING STRESSFUL og jsr's enemies are LOL#but that said - i am also a guy who likes to Dodge things more than fight them!#and also while future's maps are like. big and complex#that actually makes things HARDER for me because my ass gets lost SUPER easily#so the comparatively more compact maps in og jsr is more up my alley#i also like og jsr's fucked up overly precise grinding/combos mechanics because im sick in the head.#ultimately i think theyre both flawed but enjoyable games though#and their flaws are very endearing to me#so many things in both games that just leaves me like “WHAT?? BUT WHY????” but in a charmed sort of way#why the fuck do the 'exit' routes in og jsr exist. actively hostile game design#the jsrf noise tank cleanup. why even#those games just Did Shit man

OH also more kotorposting bc i remembered i havent talked abt hk-47 yet. hes hilarious i love him
#el plays kotor#reminds me of shale. or rather shale reminds me of him#and now that i think abt it shale has to be a sort of homage to hk-47. right#both are constructs who see squishy organic meatbags as inferior to them. both love violence#both have large chunks of their memories missing and u can help both restore their memories... yea#but also just like all the other non-jedi companions hk-47 is kinda weak compared to the. jedi companions#and it sucks bc i wanna have the non-jedi companions with me too...#i wanna have zaalbar and mission with me on kashyyyk for Story Purposes but i keep getting beaten to almost death in every fight hflkdjg#i think i might have to replace mission at least. but no one is as versatile as she is in non-combat situations. except t3-m4#and i gotta have zaalbar with me bc its kashyyyk and he has a lot of personal stuff going on there#but i have no idea if hes supposed to be like. ranged or melee#his massive str and con suggest hes a melee fighter but he has several ranged combat feats when he first joins the party...#maybe i've just built the companions wrong or whatev. oopsie#also its kinda funny that like half of the companions' personal quests revolve around family issues#bastila and her mom. carth and his son. mission and her brother. zaalbar and his father and brother ??#jolee's quest has something to do with his late wife i think? not entirely sure yet#also dont know anything abt canderous' or juhani's personal quests yet but. still#anyway gonna stop talking abt kotor now and actually go play it instead bye
