nothing (besides everyone ignoring Orym's deal) has made me angrier than watching Dorian keep up this facade. Dorian Storm has always been a type of mask he's worn. At first he called himself a liar because of it. The happy go lucky bard was a way of escaping for him. He was escaping Brontë so he created Dorian. He didn't believe he was Dorian. Until the Crown Keepers made Dorian real. And for a while, he really believed he was Dorian. That he has this new family and new life and he could be who he truly wanted to be.
And then his brother came back and made his problems Dorian's problems. Until he had to put Brontë back on. Because even if the Crown Keepers + Cyrus called him Dorian, he was Brontë. He had to be who his brother thought he was.
When Cyrus dies, the thread to Brontë had snapped. He was going to see Orym, back to the Bells Hells, back to Dorian Storm. But the foundation of Dorian had shattered. Dorian was created in order to run from his place in life, family, Cyrus. Now he was gone. The Crown Keepers had fallen apart. His friends fell through his fingers and he couldn't do anything to stop it. He was once ready to side with a betrayer god for these people and now they're in the wind.
So Dorian shows back up to Bells Hella and he's completely broken. The foundation of both of his lives has been thoroughly rocked. No brother. No Crown Keepers. The two things that forged Dorian Storm. He wears that mask so fucking well. Because he still wants to believe in it. He said it live on stage that he should "believe his own backstory". The one he made up. The one where he was a bard.
He wants to be Dorian so bad. He spends all his money on Orym, he spins the bottle so he can kiss his friends, he flirts, he blushes and giggles at compliments. Exactly how Dorian would, should.
But he wears the gold of the heir. He has a festering animosity inside his chest. He doesn't sleep. He's thinner than he was. He doesn't sleep. He sicks abominations after their creators. He talks to God's without an ounce of self preservation, daring them to strike him down. He does not acknowledge them as they taunt him.
The god of beauty and magic calls him beautiful and he does not smile.
#silver sending stones#cr spoilers#cr 3 e 107#dorian storm#got carried away in both the post and the tags again#this was supposed to be an add on from those tags yesterday#but i went off the fucking rails so hard im gonna have to make another post#and listen.#i know people are ✨ multifaceted ✨#but i think its interesting to peel apart the layers of dorian storm.#because i do think all of this is just dorian.#like the rest of us he would not be here if not for his family. his brother. the crown keepers. bells hella.#he is informed by the things that happened in the past. none of these identities could have happened on their own#but if we're looking at the arch as a whole#theres the bronte era. the dorian era. and then era where they got very muddy. and the era now.#i dont feel like he's suddenly a secret third person now#but you know how we all look at the past versions of ourselves and wonder how theyd feel about us now?#dorian just has names for them#and because there was a mixing of both his lives i think dorian is having a hard time reconciling into one#he tries very hard to be both himselves#the man contains multitudes for sure#and idk i just keep picturing him as a little bronte. and exu dorian is smiling and singing with him. he tells him all about their friends#and current dorian looking at them. afraid to approach. afraid theyll ask about their future. afraid to tell them.#but theyd probably figure it out. hes wearing gold after all.

I've cracked the Wonder Egg Priority code

Look at em
Same guy
#ive been saying from day one#wonder egg priority#metaphor re:fantazio#you can even say#its a metaphor ~#wonder egg priority was an IP animation about.... well everyone thought it was about fighting puberty demons in your sleep#but then it went off the rails with like robots and mind uploads and alternate death dimensions or something#idk#anyway their resemblance is too uncanny#metaphor refantazio#if i have to summarize wonder egg succinctly i guess it's#magical girls with gender dysphoria resenting having to perform gender

au where asta never treats harry like a kid & instead recognizes that he’s a whole adult alien trying to live as a human with a mate from his home planet that he’s realized he’s grieving & hundreds of kids that he’s learning he misses
AND harry never becomes a man-baby who only becomes capable when it’s useful to the plot & instead continues to honor his love for asta & her history by being kind to her
also they solve crimes
#resident alien#vandertrees#asta twelvetrees#harry vanderspeigle#and then they kissed#but also like from a platonic pov it would be cool for the mutual respect to come back#idk i just don’t think i’ll ever shut up about how off the rails that all went lmao#i learned after the fact that comic!harry & comic!asta solve crimes which is SO CUTE#low stakes plotlines are cooler than extremely high world ending stakes tbh#void posting

DougDoug is great because you can open his stream, fifteen minuets in, discover he is now pregnant, just in time to learn he is no longer pregnant, from mysterious circumstances, and Chat wants him to get an abortion.
Then an hour later he's making AI remove comatose Hitler's grade-a liver, in order to save humanity, and/or five people.
#include <stdio.h>#dougdoug#dougdoug mpreg#<- a perfectly normal tag to use#from the stream yesterday#also#I wrote this#then the stream went so far off the fucking rails#I can't even sum it up#the therapy#the dating show#“erotic joystick obsession”#also I feel like GPT 4.5 is going to call me a slur#the whole “bro” personality is#well#it's representative of its audience

Thinking about my neurology appointment again, I have another weird question for y'all! My neurologist was surprised and said it was weird I was right handed, which I am assuming is because of the reflex and grip tests she did, not because I give off a left-handed kind of vibe Wait I was going to ask if it was weird that I, a non-ambidextrous person, hit and kick evenly with both right and left sides, open doorknobs with whichever hand is closer, and use the foot pedal for the sewing machine with whichever foot it ends up nearer but can't write with my left hand But I just tried it and I can write with my left hand??? Like, not as neatly or as quickly as with my right, but it's clearly legible and not difficult to do. Have I been ambidextrous this entire time??
#the person behind the yarn#this post went off the rails in the middle#but I genuinely thought everybody could do that#like. I knew it threw people a bit when I was in martial arts and sparring#because I actually prefer to kick from my left side a bit but use whichever leg makes more sense#and also because I could change my stance for which leg was forward very easily and that was difficult for this one guy to do#but I thought it was just a that one guy problem!#I did not think I was potentially the odd one out#wait do you guys open doors with your off hand?#people who sew use both hands so they have one hand one each side of the cloth#and just use the hand on the far side of the cloth to push the needle back up. right?#I worded that poorly but I'm hoping it still makes sense

I have a feeling that the only way I'll ever get invested in Apex even a bit again, enough to draw something, is for me to pretend To Not See a bunch of lore stuff that happened in the past few years and just drift towards another made-up AU and remain blissfully ignorant of whatever the hell is going on in the game lol
#another setting I lost all interest in when lore went off the rails in weird directions#I'm happy if people can enjoy it still#I sure as heck did not lol#for whatever reasons I'm very lore and writing-jaded with a lot of once loved settings lmao#the only remains are that my dog is named after a character from the game#text post

still not over how retro studios figured out how to simulate samus' reflection in the visor as just this neat little touch, totally unnecessary but sooo immersive and cool, leading to it becoming one of the most beloved details of Prime 1. and then two games later they were like heyyyyy you know what would be really fucked up. if we used this as a visual storytelling device. you know, to show the horrific effects of progressive phazon corruption in first person. so that with every flash of samus' reflection, the player is reminded that it's slowly killing her
#like idk guys!!!!!! they kindof went off the rails with this one!!!!!!!!!!!#metroid#metroid prime#corruption spoilers#talkin#the fact that it went from just a fun little detail to add to the atmosphere of prime 1#to a storytelling device directly showing us the toll samus' actions are taking on her#and adding that very Metroid touch of body horror#ugh. UGHHHHHHHHH we were fed so well

Thinking today of henghill on some cold planet, one like Jarilo-VI or wherever, and Dan Heng getting his tongue stuck on some metal part of Boothill's VSKJSNSJD
Like Dan Heng is stuck to his neck, so Boothill has to pick him up and carry him to try to sneak them around to somewhere warm to thaw his tongue out. Don't worry, poor Dan Heng is just tired, that's why he's carrying him like this, no no he's fine don'tlookthatcloselybye!!
(Also Boothill is carrying Dan Heng bridal style. Obviously.)
And now, I get to show you all @hydrachea 's newest blessing upon this ship, because she took that and RAN WITH IT-


Crying imagining Dan Heng still stuck and trying to throttle Boothill to keep him from talking anymore JSJIZJSKKE
#honkai star rail#henghill#bootheng#hsr dan heng#hsr boothill#Ray: His tongue is still stuck so he can't speak to stop Boothill from spewing horrors and all he has left is violence XD#Her group name for this chat kills me every time. the Vidyadhara conservation squad!!#According to Ray the subtitle for the group chat should have been 'Days left until Caelus is allowed to edit the subtitle: 6'#because and I quote: 'You know he'd edit it to stuff like ''Breeding program pending approval''-#-and ''Not an official organization (yet) (please notice us general 🥺)'' and March would have to put him on timeout.'#I hope Bailu hears about this and says that SHE'S the High Elder of the Vidyadhara so she officially endorses it HKDJDJDKD#Caelus is so happy about it#sometime afterwards Caelus and March 7th run into Dan Heng in Aurum Alley and find him munching on lots of pastries. they ask what's up.#Dan Heng says he doesn't know either; he went to see Bailu and she recommended he 'get bread'#March 7th has to drag Caelus off because he bursts into such raucous laughter that he nearly yarls HDKDJDJKZNDJDND#hsr#boothill#dan heng#dango trio#caemarch#caelus#march 7th#hsr caelus#hsr march 7th

He delivers a gift! For u! (Even tho ur replacing him... Smh.... /Light hearted joke)
NOOOOOOO IMBIBITOR LUNAE PLEASE I LOVE YOU YOU WILL ALWAYS OWN MY HEART!!!!!!! i graciously accept this gift and give him a lil kith on the head......
#i think i've shared it here before#but i used to hate star rail#like i had zero interest in it. the only reason i played it on my 31st birthday was bc it was a request#from my twitch chat#and i proceeded to piss everyone off in a ten mile radius#bc i did the tutorial + the bare minimum#then did two ten pulls and got IB and his light cone#went 'oh neat' and then never touched the game again#LMFAO#he's still so precious to me tho bc he was my first limited 5*

first female loz director and the gerudo seem to be written fine enough? wow... there ain't no way I thought we were in the worst timeline after totk
Yeah got through the main quest with the gerudo, it wasn't painful! It wasn't even bad! Still got them outfits but for the most part it was like oh cool!
I would say a lot of that oh cool is from the fact they didn't do a lot to even fuck it up to begin with, I'm gonna be real with yall this game is NOT worth $60USD
Edit: lemme say one thing, you know when people were being like damn totk story wasn't dark or mature at all why was this compared to Majora's mask again? And then all the zeldatwt people came out and said zelda is just a kid series domt expect good writing uH
This one feels like a kid's game. That ain't to say it's terrible I would say, hell I'm not far in it if I get something crazy that's like OH FUCK I'll reblog this post and say something but uh.....game for babies I'm gonna be shocked if anyone struggles with any puzzles cuz you CAN CHEESE THEM EASY ITS 🫢🤭
EDIT EDIT: I SWEAR IM NOT EVEN TRYING TO BE A DOWNER..... @ezlo-x HAS BEEN THERE THE WHOLE TIME IVE BEEN PLAYING....THEY KNOW I HAVENT BEEN A PARTY POOPER.....
#its......seems quick#the sidequests are very boring tbh#like this game should of been 45-50 max not 60#its cute i like it so far but oh my god the optimization and game design could of been way better#and after botw/totk like....how do i put this#its like nintendo heard hey we need a LITTLE bit of rail roading and then#😬#basically...example#for a main quest i have to go to 2 places to get people#i went to the 2nd place first and it......didnt update the side quest even though she should of gone to the meeting place#thTs apart of the quest but no i had to go to the 1st guy no matter what#and its like.....hey botw not totk would do that#most GAMES in general now wouldnt do something like that#also yall gonna hate the fact there is no organization or favorites tool for the echoes#game is fun so far but uH#i got through the first dungeon FAST FAST like this is not a return to form#minish cap dungeons i dont think were that fast and theyre simple#also anyone that says this dorsnt have mechanics from the wilds games yes it does#tri has an ability thats JUST ultra hand#oh and its not good in this game#yall gonna fucking hate it#unless somehow a pirated version doesnt allow you to rotate the fucking item or move it in a way that goes behind me#without me locking off and then back on again after repostioning myself#im worried its a feature and not an anti piracy measure#me and GC are gonna finish this up this week but dang i havent even done the whole first part of the main quest#if i had this on the switch i could see how fast i could play through the game WHILE talking to people and having fun and exploring#also oh my god the zora side quest very cute but when eveeyone knows how the game goes ill make one complaint in the tags one day#funny thing its not story....ITS GAMEPLAY#yhe story in the game is fine and i say that cuz its....very simple#HELL A LOT OF NPCS DONT GOT NAMES THAT ARE VISIBLE

Hey guys, just a friendly reminder that, no matter how far Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss get from actual biblical descriptions of things, they'll never truly be as bad as Supernatural ended up getting :)
#I don't think anything could get as far from bible lore as SPN did tbh...#that show went off the fuckin rails lol#hazbin hotel#helluva boss#hellaverse#supernatural#late night ramblings
