i just finished ep 4 of mcsm and WHY THE FUCK WAS LUKAS NOT ON THE STAGE WITH US. HE'S PART OF THE ORDER. HE HELPED SAVE THE WORLD. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE ON THE STAGE WITH US. WE EVEN MENTIONED HIM WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT OUR FRIENDS WHO HELPED US SAVE THE WORLD. LUKAS IS PART OF THE ORDER I AM SO PISSED

Do you think Saix' emotional co-dependence started as a Nobody or did it start as human Isa and just grew to an unhealthy degree?

“Mcsm season three is possible after that terrible Minecraft movie trailer!!” YOU DO REALIZE..if we got a season three the new order (Jesse,petra,Lukas,Axel, Olivia) wouldn’t be a focus?? Eric Stirpe even clarified this. I swear I’m content with the ending we got and would much rather prefer a release of the game back on shelves or hell merchandise to commemorate its 10th year.

But I think people would become haters fast finding out some characters have no mention or don’t appear at all; anyways I heart Mcsm, the movie trailer gives no hope. And thanks for the apology to mcsm we never needed it cause like..yknow we still enjoy the game but you do you guys

FUN FACT: Did you know, in the early version of MCSM, in episode one season 1, Axel would have cussed, and according to Eric Stripe, Axel's favorite word would be 'bastard'?

I fucking hate mcsm btw (lying)

hey guys so I thought a bit too hard and I was thinking about how I would rewrite the story. one of my gripes specifically being with how they handled lukas and axel’s relationship. I went on a really long tangent on how I would’ve fixed it and I’ll paste it under the cut. (WARNING: IT’S A REALLY LONG RANT.)

so, I didn’t really like how they treated their dynamic. axel was so concerned for petra—and that’s understandable, considering she’s a friend—but they never gave a reason as to why axel SPECIFICALLY was worried so much, which caused him to lash out more. therefore, resulting in him mad at lukas for getting scared, along with the fact that he was the leader of the ocelots, yatta yatta etc. etc.

but my main point is: their mutual disdain for each other not only felt forced, but artificial. it felt so unreasonable, with axel shoving lukas around for seemingly no reason at times. not only that, but axel was just generally an asshole of a character. I get having someone joke around a little rudely if it’s all jokes and you know that—my friend group and I are like that all the time. but there’s a fine line between crude humor and outright bullying your “friends” or allies. not to mention he was just a frustrating character. “but… finders keepers!” when EVERYONE is in danger and he just refuses to give up the thing that would stop the witherstorm? a dick move.

and apologies, but lukas felt a little TOO nice at times in the first one or two episodes. yes, he’s generally a nice guy. and yes, he’s had some moments of getting frustrated or prickly. but considering that he was rivals with this group for so long, admitted that he didn’t really think highly of them for a while, AND petra herself called him arrogant? you can’t blame me for thinking that he was a bit too kind, even if he was trying to stay on good terms with everyone while the world was seemingly ending. yeah, he was awkward. and no, I don’t think he should’ve been outwardly hostile. but I don’t think he should’ve been quite as friendly as he was.

they should both have little quirks and flaws, but they should also both be lovable characters in their OWN ways. this is honestly how I would’ve written it:

it would’ve been better to make axel really stand off-ish because he doesn’t know how to really act around someone who was once “bad” in his eyes, but is now suddenly “good.” especially when the change is so sudden. distrusting, awkward, unpleasant interactions would feel much more natural rather than downright antagonizing lukas at every turn.

axel is really awkward and is a little distrustful of him because of so many factors, but maybe lukas interprets that as aloofness and detachment. lukas tries not to really disrupt conversations because he feels as though he’s intruding, but axel perhaps interprets that as arrogance and conceit. miscommunication, misinterpretation—these are much more natural ways of having animosity grow between two parties.

and hey, even better! this could allow you to have a choice ACTUALLY make a difference TELLTALE GAMES. (the company infamous for having choices in games that don’t Actually matter!)

maybe if you have axel stay behind with lukas to fortify the temple while also getting magnus, MAYBE you can see them actually visibly get along better! even if axel went off on his own to get magnus—which was him straying from the plan—maybe they agreed and decided it was for the better to get the order together again rather than just a few members. maybe you can see them having similar ideas, talking more, etc. etc.

and on the other hand, if you go with axel for magnus and choose olivia to stay, maybe axel feels a little more bitter towards lukas since olivia went off to get ellagaard. he feels bitter since he just let her go instead of convincing her to just STAY and wait for petra like the original plan was (even though he knows he would’ve broken that himself to go out for magnus, but moral highgrounds and such.)

yeah, sure. it’ll end in you getting both members of the order anyway. that won’t change. BUT, it still affects the characters! it fleshes out the characters more. makes them both have perks AND flaws! it HUMANIZES them, makes them more realistic.

and MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, if the conflict between them builds up enough, you might have to choose one side or the other at some point in the story! there could be several decisions that alter their relationship and how they function! one of your lifelong best friends who has ADMITTED that you’re one of his only friends, and you can tell he cares about everyone there (even if not entirely obvious,) or a friend that, while you once bickered a ton with in the past, is now genuinely making an effort to change and care and seems generally more agreeable now? they both love you and your friends, undoubtedly, but they’re too bitter to be around one another. there isn’t enough room for the both of them. one has to go, jesse. so, who’ll it be?

in fact, maybe there’s a scene where lukas and axel are in danger. in the ellagaard route (followed by more good decision making,) one actually saves the other from said situation and everyone lives. in the magnus route (followed by more bad decision making,) they both intentionally sabotage each other and you have to choose to save ONE. either that, or it’s as originally said, where there’s a story-changing fight and you have to choose one or the other.

this is a minor thing but I could not stop thinking about it. but oh well them’s the breaks pal /ref

The bugsnax community horrifies me. Everyone is too nice, how do I know you guys aren't planning to gang up on me /hj

Just thinking about the fact that Spock didn't just not fit into his culture-- he was never going to.

At the time of his birth, he was literally the first Vulcan/Human hybrid ever conceived. There was not a single other being in the entire fucking universe who was anything like him. Not one; and especially not one on Vulcan.

He literally experienced a kind of loneliness and sadness and unexplainable agony and no one else could even possibly begin to comprehend.

Jim was the first person who he ever understood as being truly safe.

the fucking hardest line in all of kingdom hearts is aqua's "YOU FREAK!" to vanitas, like first off, the delivery combined with the animation truly sells that she is seething with disgust and rage, but also. that is a genuinely upsetting pejorative. in kingdom hearts. you freak. she is really saying you lowlife. you goddamn maggot. you fucking lunatic. you freak
