Thinking about the fact that, to pull Gale from the stone and get him in the game at all, you have to decide to try to touch an extremely dangerous looking swirling mass of unstable magic. Something that is, objectively, a terrible idea

Like, the options it gives you are to either touch the sigil or leave, and if you leave you just... don't get Gale in the party

You have to take the risk. You have to let your curiosity override your common sense. You have to look at this unstable, possibly dangerous malfunctioning magic sigil and go "...Ok, but what if I poke it?"

In short, to get Gale in your party, you have to do exactly what he would in that situation, and indulge in a moment of reckless curiosity. And I just think that's delightful

permission to be a little petty on main? it’s really hilarious that a good chunk of people basically talked themselves into believing bucktommy is THE MOST AMAZING LOVE STORY EVER simply because they didn’t think buddie would ever happen. and now that buddie is on the precipice of happening they refuse to believe it because that would mean they did All That for nothing

I'm not the kind of person that's like "Here let me fix the canon" usually but like holy crap gen 5 implied a lot of messed up shit about our hero Twilight Sparkle lmao

The magnificent catbeast thrives in snowy conditions; its gorilla-like arms are theorized to help compensate for the weight of its neck.

Thinking again about this common theme of like, Franziska being less of a "genius" than Miles. When like objectively it's just untrue! I mean she became a prosecutor when she was only 13 (in the same year Miles became one at 20), she only had wins up until Phoenix (just like Miles or her father) and she still feels like she's lagging behind, like she's not catching up. And no one disputes this! No one even tries to make her feel this isn't the case. I'm going to explode.

Bro the fact mephone was silently watching that entire time, dude witnessed both rebellion and obedience met with death over too much personality shining through, he heard cobs say the people he cared about are dead now and don't matter, he heard the "ew" to the father comment

He heard the "it will be quick, and painless... right?" Before pained and terrified screams

He fad to just sit and watch as a psychological torment speedrun happened right in front of him

Some underrated moments in book 2

🤍 When Xie Lian admitted if it weren't for his cultivation method, he 100% would've read the smut mortals write about Pei Ming already.

🤍 When Xie Lian described Mu Qing as a ✨Standard Pretty Boy™✨

🤍 The way Fangxin MOANED when Xie Lian took it in his hand after hundreds of years of separation.

🤍 Mu qing's worst fear being muddy scalies.

🤍 Qi Rong's poetic soliloquy about STDs.

🤍 When Shi Qingxuan disarmed Feng Xin, a powerful martial god with centuries worth of experience, just by running into him tits first.

(Book 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

"Why does Maria keep showing up, will game developers let Shadow move on from his backstory please," actually I would love it if she started haunting the narrative more. Shadow mentions her in cutscene dialogue and you can see how everyone else immediately tenses. Sage finds a portion of her diary and reads it out loud. Sonic starts fighting ghosts for whatever reason and surprise surprise, guess who's there,

seeing people claim that lucanis is 'bad representation' is hilarious to me because in so many ways he's really the closest anything has ever gotten to capturing my own personal experience. sorry for being bad real life queer and mental health/neurodiversity representation folks 😔 I'll take time to reflect and do some work on myself and try to do better in the future
