haha yeah so you know how Jake calls Neytiri "baby" in the comics? well I had a really stupid thought while driving the other day

imagine that the first time he calls her this, she's just found out she's pregnant, but hasn't told him yet. In fact, she's just about to do so, and when she tells him she needs to talk to him, he says something like "yeah sure, what is it, baby?"

and Neytiri, unfamiliar with English terms of endearment, is just like "...wAIT HOW DID YOU KNOW??!?!"

and Jake, utterly baffled by this response, is just

"wait wha—"

Saw someone complain that Elayne only said she was the Daughter-Heir of Andor because the show is bad at world building and is forcing exposition.

Motherfucker this fandom has been joking about Elayne telling everyone she meets she's the Daughter-Heir of Andor for decades. It is the most in-character way she could've introduced herself.

i really like nami and jinbe's relationship but i completely forgot that she makes him like actually sob tears of guilt/gratefulness on their first meeting just from how like. magnanimous she was about the whole arlong thing. like she was living proof of all his fears for the east blue and still forgave him and her hearing arlong's past/the full history of fishman persecution was a big step in contextualizing her own trauma. i literally just thought she liked him cause she was happy she no longer had to sail the entire ship by herself <3

Aes Sedai are ableist as fuck

"You've done very well, child. But then, I never expected any less of you. Anyone who can make the discoveries you've made, with your handicap... why, I expect nothing less than excellence from you. And to think...." - Janya Frende

"The yellow-haired Red sister scrutinized them, her face arrogant winter marble. "So. The Queen of Andor and the crippled wilder." - Tarna Feir

Both of these comments were directed at Nynaeve. I don't think it's unreasonable to read her block as a learning disability, and I definitely think the show is leaning into that reading of it.

There's also another instance in TFOH of Elaida demoting Shemerin cause she has an anxiety disorder, and thinks that makes her not capable as an Aes Sedai. The ableism is baked into the White Tower's system

I completely forgot how strongly they force you into kaidan romance in the first game. Literally no dialogue option is safe, I'm fighting for my life trying to have a conversation with him and NOT to end up together 😭

Okay more thoughts on the new Borderlands trailer but this is more....generalized, less about the trailer itself. The trailer just kinda. Reminded me of it.

I do not like the new art style.

It started with BL3 and I just. Generally don't like it.

It's not ALL bad, I'll say that, but just.

It doesn't FEEL like Borderlands. It doesn't have that same charm. It doesn't draw me in the way it used to.

There's a whole lot about it that I can't put into words, which I really wish I could.

One thing I CAN put into words though is that, in so many cases and areas, it feels like they added detail specifically for the sake of adding detail. Like a "hey look what we can do!!!" type thing. So much of that detail does no service to the appearance, and some of it actually makes it WORSE.

I can't tell you how many times I've had difficulties seeing enemies or allies or other such things because it gets lost in all the visual noise.

The more detailed and fluid movement is great, especially in cutscenes, same with the more....fluid and natural feeling facial expressions. When I played the Fight For Sanctuary DLC in 2 I noticed how much BETTER the animation was, ESPECIALLY in the cutscenes. It looked good!!!

But. Dear god. Then you get to 3 and it's just like. Please. Simplify some of this shit. So much of this detail is unnecessary and is just unappealing to look at in several cases.
