Happy one year anniversary to In Stars and Time!
#ISAT#in stars and time#siffrin#loop#I truly mean it when I say that this was the best game I have played since Disco Elysium.#It pulls off some of the best examples of Ludonarritive Harmony in a video game...possibly ever?#Not to mention just...wow. What a great story. What a tale of twists and introspection. What a tale about the need for home and connection#I know many of you have trusted me before with media recommendations. Trust me one more time.#Do you want to experience the torment of being in a timeloop? And *still* have fun and feel like your time is being respected?#PLAY IN STARS AND TIME!#Do you yearn for complex characters and love unravelling mysteries? PLAY IN STARS AND TIME!!!!#Please heed the content warnings; I took them a little too lightly on my playthrough! They are there for a reason! Don't be like me!#This game means a lot to me and so many others. On the small chance the dev sees this (they are on tumblr after all):#Thank you so much for all your hard work in creating this game and seeing the project through.#It has been a year for us fans but many years for you. So thank you!#I hope it has been a joyful year for you! Watching as people descend into shrieks of agony from playing your game.#It's good! It made me vomit blood. I had so much fun! I felt like I was torturing the protagonist when I played it. I loved it! I cried.

a huge part of what makes stormlight archive interesting is the worldbuilding so i feel like it has minimal potential for any non-canonverse fic AUs, EXCEPT for crack AUs cuz I KNOW that modern universe Kaladin and Moash would have met while Kaladin was leading the charge to unionize their Amazon warehouse and afterwards Kaladin would be like "now I'm gonna open a community-funded urgent care" and Moash would lay a hand on his shoulder and stare into his eyes and be like listen Kal. hear me out. what if we assassinated Jeff Bezos instead
#leftist infighting...#kaladin: let's create change by connecting with the community#moash: let's blow up a power plant#they would be the funniest dynamic in a modern au#stormlight archive#kalmoash#kind of

having percy create a hurricane in the son of neptune was an amazing choice. not only do we get to see percy return to himself in that scene, remembering all that's left to fight for. we have to keep in mind that this hurricane wasn't on accident like in the battle of manhattan. it didn't happen by chance because he was annoyed with his opponent. it was on purpose, which shows he's more in tune with himself than ever before, and more powerful than we last saw him. this was easily one of the top highlights of this book for me.
#not to mention the first time percy made a hurricane#he was the most in tune with his powers than ever before#with the flow of the river styx in his veins#to have him create a hurricane just as strong without the styx a second time#is an amazing callback to power#and an amazing callback to how connected he is with his power#loved that scene#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo text post#pjo#percy jackson#percy pjo#i love percy

"Haha Dream BBQ is so random and incomprehensible" "did they take drugs to make this lol" "you're actually not meant to understand anything in this series it's ok" "Joel G just makes up stuff on the spot based on what would be funny" "it's just random for random's sake" "is this AI" "stop theorising, it's not that deep" SHUT UPPPPPPPPPP
#ena dream bbq#ena joel g#random art does not exist. all human made art is made with intention.#like. sure. ena is intentionally surreal and aburdist and weird. and im sure some things were less thought out#but to say its all just random bullshit does SO much disservice to the creators behind this project#and disservice to your OWN intelligence in giving up and refusing to work those braincells of yours to create your own interpretation#like. There Are Things To work with here. there are a Lot Of Things#you just have to actually Think and connect the pieces and do introspection on what this Means to YOU#like. you dont wanna think hard. fine. if you wanna just enjoy the experience thats fine too#but then you have to still ackowledge that youre getting SOMETHING out of this (unless youre actually not and are just a hater)#even if its just emotionally. even if its jus unconsciouslly#there Is Meaning There#its just not linear#so think about it!!! thats whats fun about this series!!!#it forces everyone to think about it instead of just following the one 'canon'!!!!#there probably isnt one right answer here!!!#but that doesnt make it any less valuable!!!!#just. auuuughh#i have a lot of thoughts about this#the ena team would not put in this much effort and creativity and symbolism and themeing just for shits and giggles#ok ill stop being a hater now. and I WONT go in the opposite direction and start wining about how a lot of theories (on youtube at least)#seem to ignore the more emocionally significant and symbolic themes in favour of basic or emotionally shallow takes.....#ggrhrgrh (through gritted teeth)... everyones interpretation is valid.. everyones interpretation is valid#whatevr. im just rambling. idk. i hope you get what i mean#negative#fandom critical#my own post

Even if the writers bring in a new LI for Buck, no one is ever gonna beat Tommy Kinard. Sorry! But just look at this material:
Tommy personally knows and respects the life of a firefighter and why it’s so important to Buck, something that Buck’s previous love interests found difficult to understand
Tommy can be involved in calls and can help the 118 in a way others can’t (as we’ve seen)
Even before dating Buck, Tommy had strong connections to the main characters — the most important people in Buck’s life
Buck himself said Tommy is his most transformative relationship since Abby (whom Tommy is also connected to)
Speaking of Abby, Buck pined for her, but it was clear that Abby was ready to move on when she left him. With Buck and Tommy, both of them want each other back. Neither is ready to move on. They pine for each other.
Tommy is one of the very few people who call Buck “Evan” and the only one to do so regularly and with such affection. It was only during the breakup that Tommy called him Buck. The worst day of Buck’s life was the day Tommy called him by the name everyone else uses for him. Because Tommy isn’t everyone else. And no one else will ever be Tommy to Evan.
Tommy was a part of the call that ended with Bobby’s death. Tommy was the only one who saw Buck’s grief after losing the person he considered his father. Tommy was a pall bearer and walked with the main characters at Bobby’s funeral.
Speaking of Bobby, Tommy is the only LI of Buck’s that Bobby approved of. The only one Bobby will ever approve of. Bobby knew Tommy and Tommy knew Bobby. Tommy was part of the 118 when Bobby began again. Tommy saved Bobby’s life before Buck met him.
It was Tommy’s decision to transfer that opened the spot at the 118 that changed Buck’s life.
Literally, Buck is the happiest he has ever been when he is with Tommy. He can be giggly during sex and hold funerals for dead cowboys. Buck smiles and looks at Tommy with so much affection. And Tommy shows up for Buck – whether it’s attending the hospital wedding after an exhausting shift or making sure he’s resting after he’s injured or cooking him a literal feast or stealing a helicopter.
Any LI after Tommy would pale in comparison. The writers will do what they will but … why even attempt to outdo this ... You simply can’t!
#the writers stumbled upon the perfect li for Buck#Even tho tommy has limited screen time#He still feels like a dimensional character bc he has literal history on the show and fictional history with the 118#the characters AND the audience already know tommy and have seen him outside his relationship with Buck#Creating a new LI would not have the years-long connection tommy has with the 118#And bringing back a LI… his relationship with Taylor ended badly on both sides#I can’t see them bringing back Ali or Natalia#since those relationships fizzled out pretty unceremoniously and didn’t really have an impact on Buck#The writers would be dumb fr if they spent time trying to make a new relationship work#I do think the main reason they’re keeping BT separated into s9 is to milk the drama as much as they can for Buck’s SL#Then they don’t have to think about where Buck and Tommy would be#at the beginning of s9 if they got back together at the end of s8#Buck’s SL can stay as it was at the end of s8: still mourning Bobby still pining for tommy. Easy! Done!#That and I think the writers ran out of time lol#and possibly scheduling conflicts w lou bc yikes was 8b production messyyyy#bucktommy#911 abc#evan buckley#tommy kinard#911 spoilers#911#tevan#kinley#btblr#911 theory#911 meta#911 speculation#911 discourse#oli posts

the funniest thing about the bad kids meeting ayda is she took one look at the right side of the table and didn't give a shit about any of them and then became absolutely obsessed with every single person on the left side of the table
#ayda first days of knowing adaine gains her first friend and genuine connection of love and comradery and understanding#ayda first days of knowing gorgug holds his head in her hands and delivers a monologue of how much she admires him and his rippling brain#ayda first days of knowing fig kindles a first love heals inners insecurities and creates a genuine bond thats never been replicated#ayda a year into knowing kristen fabian and riz: who tf are you guys again?#dimension 20#d20#fantasy high#ayda aguefort#fhsy#adaine abernant#fig faeth#gorgug thistlespring#figayda#brennan lee mulligan#fabian seacaster#riz gukgak#kristen applebees

Special circle of hell for game devs that still subject you to a diabolical grind to earn purchasable extras you’ve already paid for and make you wait significant real time hours to even slightly progress the main story of the game you’ve already paid for and then punish you by corrupting your save file or revoking basic game features if you attempt to try and get around the absurd restrictions in the game you’ve already paid for. You shell out so much money for a game, the least you could do is, oh I don’t know, let me play it
#miss when games were not connected to the internet#just one-and-done feed my computer a disc and that was the game#‘wait 48 hours for this item/task to progress the main storyline :3’ hey how about I punch you in the throat#only allowed to give characters 3 items a day and then you basically can’t do anything else for 24 hours#in a nearly £60 game is wild#that’s like free phone app game behaviour#‘it creates a sense of reward!’ it creates a sense of violence actually#insane what game this is about too#I’m in the very beginning stages of making a game myself and that is one thing I will not be doing

#i've connected the dots. you didn't connect shit. i've connected them. etc. etc.#don't mind me i'm just still connecting dots that may or may not come to fruition#at minimum the road is a witch trap created by rio (or someone/thing more powerful/above her)#if i have it my way agatha will have also been a work partner to rio and they set traps together#until something happened to nicholas and agatha got the darkhold#i think agatha has been on the road before. i just don't think she's walked it properly#i'm sure the reality of canon will not be all i want from it but until then i remain happily delusional#agatha all along#agatha harkness#rio vidal#agathario

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance
#kingdom hearts dream drop distance#khddd#sora#riku#nightmare's end#mirage split#my gif#i was going to write up a whole thing in the tags about my thoughts on this keyblade#but i just know it'll be an incoherent essay because i can't properly articulate my thoughts#the x-blade must be forged through a clash of light and darkness#but i find it so highly significant that sora and riku can create their own keyblade which is so unheard of#this keyblade isn't created with a clash but rather through harmony and balance#not with conflict but with understanding and connection and love#and i always felt as though that's how the x-blade SHOULD be forged. that master xehanort went about it all wrong#because balance and connections are such important themes in these games#it has two handles and looks so regal when combined. all of the shapes feel reminiscent of the x-blade too#it shines so brilliantly with both sora and riku's symbols. the heart and crown which is the iconic logo for the entire series#also the way stained glass is always used to represent hearts. it's so significant!#and yeah the paupu fruit keychain is its own thing to unpack#okay so i ended up writing something anyway but there's still so much more#i just really hope we get to see more of this in future games because it would be shocking if it was nothing more than a cool combo attack

Did you know you are one of the reasons my multiverse exists? And that the complicated lore and deep realitionships for the bad guys I made are the way they are?
That Dream and Nightmare have a lot more complex realitionship than most people give them as far as I saw?
The reason I started looking different at those characters, the reason I started writing?
That you are the reason I am writing a third fic and actually slowly getting a fanbase and working on my main multiverse that might be one of my biggest and best works yet?
Ofcurse you dont. How would you?
You have no idea how much your existence and your creations meant to me, how much it means to me.
I found my safe place in this fandom, because of you.
Because of a silly comic dub with your credits om the start i saw on YouTube.
Thank you.
Thank you very much...
For everything.

Started drawing that jonathan sims head archivist of the magnus institute london statement begins guy and then remembered I wasn’t blessed by the gods with the ability to draw hair
This is all you’re getting
#I drew a hairless cat for an art assignment once and had to write an artist statement#no miss#the reason behind the artwork wasn’t to create a meaningful connection with the observer on a spiritual level#it was because I wanted to draw a cat and can’t draw fur for shit#tma#the magnus archives#magpod#magnus pod#tma podcast#jonathan sims#tma fanart#tma art#the magnus protocol#tmagp#I swear the quality was better before

YOOOO DEMA YOU LIKE ARCANE???!! omg who's your favorite character??? and favorite moment(s) from s1??? (and fav ship too 👀 👀) will you draw for Arcane in the future???? (peak show with peak art =perfection, just saying)
Anon, you have the. Best. Timing. Ever. I literally just finished an Arcane artstyle study with Katara of the Undercity as a subject!

My favorite Arcane character is and forever shall be Ekko (best boy). Other faves are Viktor (chronic illness baby) and Jinx (trauma gremlin).
As for the S1 scene... Besides the finale and that breathtaking Guns for Hire sequence? The Ekko/Jinx fight from ep 7. It broke me. (And turned me into a Timebomb shipper. Which was arguably worse.)
#dema answers#atla#avatar the last airbender#atla fanart#katara#atla art#arcane fanart#arcane netflix#arcane#atla katara#katara fanart#katara of the southern water tribe#Except here it's#Katara of the Undercity#Because I say so#And because an Arcane AU would be so fun to think about#arcane au#Katara and Sokka would be from the Undercity. Which has pretty intense connotations when you realize that means Kya was killed by Enforcers#But I digress#Sokka is an engineering genius whose dream is to study at the Academy and change science as we know it. At the same time he's a pragmatist.#He knows that's all they ever will be: dreams. So instead of chasing useless wishes he focuses on using his talents to help his community.#Katara is all about the social cause. She's a natural leader who would do anything to help those in need. Which gets her in trouble often.#She would never cross the line like Jet and so many of their fellow Zaunites do—she wants peace and prosperity for her people.#But that doesn't mean she's afraid of having to fight for their rights. On the contrary.#I think she and Sokka would create some Firelights-esque community. They bring people together and care for them.#Even weird tattooed kids with an odd connection to the Arcane itself.#Zuko is a former Heir from Piltover. His father holds a seat in the Council and is not afraid of underhanded tactics to gain more power.#Ozai banished Zuko from his home with the condition that he could return only if he brought an end to a rebellion in the Undercity...#...and got rid of an object of great power that would only bring destruction upon his people.#(But nobody ever told Enforcer Zuko that this supposed great weapon that the people of the Undercity stole...was a kid.)
