#am I in my villain era?

[slayerkitty]

Thought I've been having about Ray, Mew, and Sand: Does Mew know that Sand and Ray were doing the do on the down low?

Because Boston and Nick know... but no one else, right?

Now, nothing might come of this information, but somehow, I feel like Mew would want to know this and finding out, let's say from Sand (or Boston, or Nick) probably wouldn't sit well with him given his current spiral.

Maybe someone should, I don't know, tell him. For science.

u know that song the boy is mine?? yeah that and the article that said Charles was elated about getting Lewis as a teammate

toxic drabble under the cut hehe

George glowered as he stabbed his fork into his dish, wishing it wasn't a steak he was stabbing, but rather another driver.

Another driver who's team not only stole Lewis right from under his nose, but also wouldn't stop glowing about it.

The drivers had decided on a group dinner for whatever reason, with George sitting on one side of Lewis and Charles sitting on the other. It was difficult for George not to glare at Charles any time he saw him practically fawn all over Lewis.

He still had one more race as a Mercedes driver, why the fuck was Charles already acting like Lewis was his teammate? The Ferrari driver had never paid so much attention to Lewis before and it rankled at George's nerves to an absurd degree.

Charles never stood by Lewis like George did. Never had late night conversations under the stars like they did. Never fought for Lewis like George did.

He didn't care that Lewis had chosen to leave Mercedes. Well, he did, but he had an entire year to come to terms with it. An entire year for them to talk and fight and make up and come out stronger for it. George knew that while Lewis was leaving Mercedes, he wasn't leaving him and what they built together as teammates and friends, and that's what mattered the most.

But Charles apparently didn't get the memo. And despite Charles not really having anything to do with the contracts being signed, he certainly was acting like the cat that got the cream.

As everyone headed for their motorhomes for the night, George paused in his car before making the snap decision to follow Charles' car instead of heading home. As they parked, George got out of the car, slamming the door shut.

Charles was already out of his own car, his arms crossed.

"Any reason why you followed me?" He asked, and George walked up to him.

"Yeah, actually." George replied. Now that it was just him and Charles, George felt his anger and bitterness overflow.

"After this season, I guess Lewis will be your new teammate." George started nonchalantly.

Charles nodded before gasping as George grabbed his collar and yanked him close, their noses nearly touching.

"Just know that if I get even a whiff that you or your fucking team isn't treating Lewis with anything but the utmost respect," George snarled, "I'll fucking make your life a living hell. On and off the track."

Charles stared at George with wide eyes before snorting. "Oh, what a knight in shining armour, you are!" He replied sarcastically.

"More than what you will ever be." George shot back, and Charles' lips curled into a smirk.

"Don't worry, George. Lewis will forget you by the time the new season starts. I just know he'll look lovely in Ferrari red."

George let out an ugly laugh. "Just remember, Charles. You might have him now, but Lewis will always be mine."

Shoving him away, George walked back to his car, slamming the door and driving off, fully intent on going to Lewis' motorhome and giving him a night so good he'd never forget George even if he tried.

wilds era complaining under the cut I just finally figured out a thing that's been making my brain itchy

Honestly as much more as I liked TotK than BotW because all I really wanted from BotW was more atmospheric spaces and more story, learning that Fujibayashi was an experience designer for horror attractions makes everything I hated about the last three big zelda titles (the ones he directed) make so much sense.

If you've known me for the past few years, you have definitely heard me complain about not being able to ride my horse in the desert, despite the reason for that limitation being a story beat that you have to resolve, and despite resolving it, you still cannot use that mechanic in that area.

I thought this was just a Me, Personally complaint -- but it's actually a perfect summary of the Entire Issue I have:

Fujibayashi's games don't prioritize story at all. By his own description, everything in his games are about mechanics and getting from point a to point b to make you use those mechanics. The story is just set dressing to get you to move around the map, which is true of all games to an extent. And because that's true of all games to an extent, I thought this was just an issue I had with open world games.

But Hollow Knight doesn't have that problem, nor does Psychonauts 2, nor Journey, nor really any other open world game that I've played. This is because -- per the developers -- those maps expanded organically and were built out as the story expanded.

So the issue is that most of those games use mechanics as a vehicle for you to explore the world and story. Fujibayashi's games use the world and story as a vehicle for you to explore the mechanics.

And Fujibayashi is a solid environmental storyteller, but he's also really not a storyteller. It's clearly not what he enjoys doing and not what he prioritizes. He likes planning routes and making puzzles, which is great! Games rely on that skillset! It's very important!

Except, people who play narrative games usually want a compelling narrative more than a trick to get from here to there. Fans will take the long road to find lore at the end of it. Aunoma was better at that, which is why traveling in OoT and WW sucks for 70% of the game but the stories are more devoted and the hints were more compelling, but now he just (by his own description) mostly nods or shakes his head at whatever Fujibayashi is doing.

For comparison, look at Journey, which is ONLY environmental storytelling. There is No dialogue or really any developed characters, and it is one of the most highly rated, heavily awarded games in recent history.

I genuinely did and do enjoy TotK. But it REALLY concerns me if the director hadn't thought of it as directly referencing prior games, despite considering himself a huge fan of the series. Especially because TotK even mimicked the plot of his OWN game (Zelda is whisked away, goes back in time, seals herself in an unreachable state to make a sword to defeat the evil that came from below and then is an immortal who magically turns human because of love, Impa is the only one who knows about it, the sky people inventing the kingdom of Hyrule, etc).

I do honestly assume that's a mistranslation of him not having heard that some people thought it was recreating Ocarina of Time, specifically, because he later seemed to be on team 'It's All Intentionally The Same Legend Being Retold in Each Game' (which is all well and good).

All this to say, I think Fujibayashi is a skilled engineer but that man needs a co-director who really prioritizes story. If Nintendo gets him one we'll probably get a really good game out of it.
