#and which new stories they’re making

Making myself Feel Things by reading The End Poem and imagine the two entities talking in it are Quiet and Shifty

To me, Shifty is the blue text while Quiet is green.

Also, for extra Feels, you can enter the name as ‘Hero’.

i’m realizing that one of my favorite ways to create a character is by first establishing a major flaw of theirs and then examining how that will inevitably fuck them up a bit. then fleshing them out from there

That is, huh. A lot more of a thought out response then what I was going for lol. I was like “what little rat does that remind you of” “the dude spying in the castle just now” when I rhetorically said “what shadowpeach does that remind you of” and you debunked it 😭 but since we’re talking about this now

Wiki calls em “an interconnected, self-perpetuating cycle. Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary and at the same time opposing forces that interact to form a dynamic system. Yin and yang transform each other: like an undertow in the ocean, every advance is complemented by a retreat, and every rise transforms into a fall.” Idk about you but with Mac getting chaos powers, I figured the show might take inspo from this, what with the cycles and all too. There might be an opposite “order” power in contrast to Nines. If Pandora’s box is literal, MK is “hope” there’s a lot of other symbolism fandom likes the stereotypically portray into their ShadowPeach lol. But they have day/night too. Nobody has to think too hard to take inspo, and most shows don’t in my experience. Shout out to Ninjago and ATLA just mixing culture and language in a way that annoys people and placing it under one umbrella.

well i mean, lmk is already playing with the themes of order and chaos. except there Order was on the side of the antagonists while MK was Chaos (being the harbinger and all). we saw it with LBD and Azure and now with Nines

also, lmk’s order can be seen when it talks about Fate and Destiny and even the “story”, but in a way where they are shown as being too fixed and bureaucratic compared to the lessons being taught to MK and by MK which are “your fate (order) is your own and can only be determined by you.”

we had it with MK telling LBD “do you really think the universe cares about any of us?”

we had it when Macky told MK “if you tread the paths already carved for you, then you doom yourself into a self-fulfilling prophecy”

we have it even more explicitly in s5 from Wukong: “sometimes you need to carve your own path and fuck all the rest”

lmk is all about finding that balance between the chaos of your mind and the forced order of the world around you. our own daily ying and yang that we must balance, and that is why i don't place those themes with shadowpeach just because it takes away from the crux of the show where it’s original focus is on MK and how he changes and grow throughout the seasons

tbh i think their day/night themes with ying/yang are significantly minor. the major focus with them is the themes of betrayal and reconciliation and past haunts

usamericans stop accusing arabs or anyone for that matter of violence and immorality when it's not even rare to find examples of that exact violence and immorality in america challenge (failed)

“when it’s not even rare to find examples of that exact violence and immorality in america” <- lmao literally… if we want to talk about domestic violence and barbaric men maybe let’s start w the us

[heir-of-the-chair]

Lowkey hyperfixating now and I’ve come to the devastating conclusion that Jacob the main character of Water For Elephants… doesn’t really have a character arc

Stealing this image from twitter and bringing it over here, because holy shit, some of the clowns I have been seeing talk about the game lately.

[sprucestairs]

oooooh pokemon company want to put all their energy into z-a sooooo bad. You will not release a half assed johto or unova game you want soooo badly to make a good game that everyone enjoys.

[petrovna-zamo]

So jealous you love in la i bet the show was so good😭 also love that orville wears his mask everywhere lmao

It definitely has its pros and cons but living in a city where pretty much every artist performs is definitely at the top of the pro list! And it’s kinda funny when T&K reference local things like this that I just so happened to be at too lol

Honestly it was such a good show 😭 I love Tina& Amy so much and have been fans of them for forever so it was everything I expected and more. I know they’re touring through next year and hopefully they keep adding more cities so you can see them too!

Also, seeing Orville irl was so funny because the hat and mask are his disguises but it actually just makes him stand out more so the whole YouTube theater saw him come in. He also sat down like right before the show started and everyone else was already seated so there was a hush over the crowd as everyone watched him. Idk I laughed. Also also my friend was seated a few rows behind him and he blocked the view with his giant cowboy hat so she took a picture and since I was seated a few rows in front you can see the back of my head… and that’s how I technically have a picture with Orville Peck lmao

[quietwingsinthesky]

went into the notes of that poll going around about if people want more seasons of supernatural and was immediately slapped in the face with how different my priorities are in this fandom from. a lot of it. what are you talking about ‘destiel endgame’. girl the show has bigger problems to fix than that if it ever had more seasons. they taught a three year old that the best way to be loved was to continuously try to kill himself and then they made him god.

[arolesbianism]

Sier? I haven’t even met her! Laugh.

[mossflower]

thinking so incredibly hard about the fairy wip

[bbyboybucket]

Also, it’s kinda funny that Marvel repeatedly acknowledges that CA:TWS is their best and most popular movie (bc it genuinely is, even the film bros regard it far higher than IW and EG) yet they have two of the main characters from that movie that they can expand on and make similar storylines with and they just……give them half baked arcs and messy scripts, or cut their screen time……

Like maybe, idk just a random thought, just a potential solution, but maybeeee it’d be easier to create that level of success again if you expanded on the characters that were in that movie to begin with….Like maybe you could recreate the effect of CA:TWS if you wrote a good script about the new Captain America and the former winter soldier….maybe you could give those two characters from the fan favorite movie the spotlight…..idk tho that might be a huge reach

not to actually have faith in atlus of all companies but I feel like people REALLY heel face turned immediately at p3r yesterday unnecessarily

1) I’m actually pro re-casting. As much as I love (most of) the original cast, the game DID come out nearly 20 years ago. Some of the original actors have also had a lot of controversy attached to them as well. It’s really great to see new faces, especially such a diverse group. These guys deserve your faith in them, because they are probably already aware that they have big shoes to fill and y’all saying “not my Akihko” or w/e is not helpful. I totally understand if people are wary if the original cast was not asked at all to come back, because that’s shitty. But seeing as how I’ve heard that some of them retweeted the new actor’s announcement tweets it makes it feel like there’s no bad blood there.

2) I may be wrong, but I (like Faz) interpreted “No FES content” as there wouldn’t be The Answer as opposed to No Aigis/Elizabeth social link and other in-base game FES content. Apparently someone saw weapon fusion in the minimap in a screenshot, which IS something that was introduced in FES. We’ll see if I’m just engaging in wishful thinking there….

3) I am also sad about no FemC. But even in P3P the devs made it clear that the game was written with the male protagonist in mind. They outright state to NOT play as FemC unless you’ve played with the male protagonist first and that she was meant for more “experienced players.” Considering they’re rebuilding this entire game from the ground up as well, it unfortunately makes sense for them to want to focus on one for now. I’m not a game developer, so I don’t know how difficult and time consuming this is, but it seems to me that it would be very much so. Now if they DO eventually release her as paid DLC that would be a mega dick move, I will say.

4) guys there’s no way in hell with a remade game that they’re going to keep forced romance in social links, you all are jumping to conclusions lmao

5) while this is a fun surprise for older fans of p3, I can’t help but think this remake is intended for folks newer to the series. OR (god forbid) folks that started with p5 and are intimidated by the more SMT grindy style of the earlier games. like it or not, those people exist. and they should get to experience the game too.

idk. again, atlus has hurt me before. MANY TIMES. but I feel like everyone is freaking out over ONE article that doesn’t have a lot of context. the game has had ONE trailer. Let It Cook.

My toxic trait is that if you give me 30 minutes of your time yes I will explain to you why if Merlin had revealed his magic to Morgana in season 2 the nightmare begins we could have had it all- INCLUDING a morally grey Morgana, with just a little bit of mediocre writing.
