Old Monk time!

Zaxaria vs. evil cloth thing, attempt 1.  You have no idea how long I’ve been looking forward to this boss in particular.  He’s such a cool concept and I have so much fun doing multiplayer things in this game.  It’s a win-win!  Well...not so much for my character...

Attempt 1: player phantom.  They managed to get me in a corner and I died.  Love the collapse gesture they did at the end.  GG katana person.  You were very patient waiting for me to climb the stairs. (also: nice try with God’s Wrath at the start.  There’s a reason I attuned Hidden Soul for this! :D  The regen aura from her blessed sword gives her away once she’s in the arena but it does make ambushes from the other side of the fog gate a little more difficult!)

Attempt 2: player phantom.  This one was fun!  It turned into a parry fight (curved sword offhand for me, shield on them).  There were so many moments where we both parried at each other, expecting an attack!  In the end, the victorious read was theirs.  GG magic/dex person!  There were a few unfortunate lag spikes but overall this one was a treat.  I’m so happy I got to practice my parry timing!

Attempt 3: player phantom.  Died due to stupid mistakes.  As in, “forgetting how I was holding my main hand weapon” stupid.  Guess I jumped in too soon after the last one and needed to mentally refocus.  GG dragon sword person, sorry I was a disappointing fight.

Attempt 4: player phantom.  What an honor this was!  I got bonked by a dragon bone smasher on fire!  GG, that was hilarious!  I love seeing that insane thing in action, and the fire buff just made it even more delightfully ridiculous.

Unfortunately, I had to cut it short here.  While the slayer of demons has all the time and as many tries as they have the willpower to handle, time marches on outside the game, and I have a job to be awake and functional for.

God, this is so fun I almost don’t want to win and move on?  I love seeing the builds everyone’s putting together!

Man, that first loss has put Latria in kind of a grim state though.  I think we’re one more body form loss away from pure black, if it’s not already there.  I’m not sure if I want to test it by checking on Sodden Ring access or on poor Rydell first...or if I avoid it all and go at the boss again.

We’ll see what happens when I play next, I guess!  I love this game.  I love this game so much.

even though i could talk for hours and hours about this, i'm going to try and stop now bc i'm too paranoid about annoying people lol. here are a last batch of silly screenshots from the play/behind the scenes!!! <3

^ the repeat and graduate buttons at the end, aaaa i love how in the play they put their hands on the same buttons rather than the individual ones in the game. hajime puts both hands on top of his friends' after this btw

^ komahina behind the scenes! middle one they aren't in costume (obviously, idk why i'm pointing that out lol) they are so SILLY! gundham's actor was filming all of this

^ soudam in the first one then kaz and hajime and chiaki AAAA i love them all. SCREAMING

^ they look SO CONFUSED lol this was in trial 2, talking about the beach house shower room window

and last but certainly not least.....

GRAB HIM BY THE AHOGE!!!!!!

if you've tolerated all of the videos i've posted today then thank you!! like i said i'm worried about annoying people but if anyone wants to hear more then please message me bc i can talk talk talk forever! this has been so much fun to watch, definitely gonna rewatch some time :) <3

Oropher: *talking about how he can’t wait to see Cloudryad again after millenia of seperation now that doriath has been destroyed once*

Cloudryad: GO BACK AND GET ELURED AND ELURIN, DORIATH HAS BEEN RAIDED FOR A SECOND TIME AND THEY’VE BEEN ABANDONED IN THE SNOW. GO. GET. YOUR. NEPHEWS!

Oropher: ok ok!

I'm so freaking tired to read comments about how Radahn actually beat and is stronger than Malenia and he holds back the stars and learns magic not to kill Leonard IN. EVERY. SINGLE. MALENIA'S. POST/VIDEO/MEME/EVERYTHING.

More often than not TOTALLY UMPRONTED.

Like, we get it, you Radahn's fanboys are irked your favourite character isn't the absolute best. So what?

The lore literally said "Malenia fought Radhan to a standstill" AND THAT'S THE END OF IT.

Yes, afterwards she bloomed, making Caelid what we see today, and yes, that made her pass out, and yes, she had to be carried away by Finlay, so what?

Literally how does that make her less then her opponent, who lost his mind and became a shadow of his former self?

Also, she gets insulted all the time because you all think she bloomed because she didn't want to lose, when actually WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHY SHE DID IT.

Did she do it because she was desperate? Maybe.

Did she do it because her needle broke? Maybe.

Did she do it because she couldn't hold back the Rot anymore? Maybe.

We don't know how the Rot works.

What we do know is that her Cleanrots followed her with pride, at the point of CHOOSING TO DECAY to stand by her side. And I don't think many of them would have done that for a Demigod who would nuke an entire region without second thoughts or giving a damn about it.

We all saw how Godrick treated his people and the reputation and hate it gained him from the Lands Between.

(And the fact that Malenia, after being insulted by him and still even if it was her right to chose not to kill him should make you people ponder on what it says about her character. Literally why would she willingly cause such pain and distruction to innocent people when she didn't kill an horrible person like Godrick? When SHE HERSELF HATES HER ROT)

That's the whole point with George Martin.

The whole point with him and his books: in medieval times informations are unreliable, because some are made up, some are incomplete, some are missing, etc.

And that's the same thing for Elden ring, all informations and lore we have comes from dialogues and item's descriptions.

And ALL of them proclaimed the battle of Aeonia a tragic battle which ended in a STALEMATE.

Cry all you want about it, and STOP insulting characters other people like just because you don't like the lore.

Both Radahn and Malenia are impressive, not perfect, but certainly impressive characters and leaders, as both their armies followed them with pride.

There is literally NO POINT in keeping that discussion up. And there is certainly NO POINT in ruining all posts that celebrates Malenia FOR HERSELF, without even talking about Radahn.

SHOW SOME RESPECT.

THANK YOU KINDLY.

That’s what she holds onto. A life—an eternal one—with someone else as Lord. Someone true of heart. Quick of mind. That’s the dream, right there. And all she has to do is clear the way.  - Chapter 26

[best-enemies]

Got to season 7 on my CSI rewatch and I need to talk about the final scene in s07e11, where Grissom is saying goodbye to Sara before leaving to go on his sabbatical. I mean, look at him. Look at what he does with his hands. *Agressively* Look at himmmmm. He's just a little puppy in love. And he does this right before whispering, "I'll miss you". I'm afraid I'm not gonna make it y'all

The more time I spend explaining Tolkien lore to my brother the more I realize that Tolkien was just batshit insane

[gaybearwedding]

hi hi hello i have been gone forever due to various reasons such as “work” and “mental illness” and “having developed a kpop hyperfixation that has been occupying most of my attention recently” but i need everyone to know that i saw off book live twice last week (in philly with a friend and then in nyc with my girlfriend) and it was truly so everything. i didn’t get many pictures but i did get a few and none of them are very good but one of them is of jess’ amazing stool balancing act and that’s all i need really

Rain Code has been living rent-free in my head since I finished it, especially my short purple gremlin husband Makoto. The horrors persist, stay silly.

HUGE difference between "I never finished Three Houses" (🏘️ wait hold on. Wh. Why is there a Three Houses emoji. That is so specific.

Anyway HUGE difference between "I never finished Three Houses" (the story is probably good but my fuckinh god the calendar based gameplay wants my head on a pike. Missing important events/interactions due to the time based nature wants me DEAD. The general inflexibility when it comes to whatever cast of characters you're stuck with for what run like YEAH you can recruit dif students school arc but. The options still feel soooooo limited and if there's a house of characters you just don't vibe with but that's the run ypu have to do. Fuck your entire life. And then there's the time basedness of it all. The arc basedness of it all. The structure of it all IS DESIGNED VERY SPECIFICALLY to fucking Kill Me. You can't even fuck around and give yourself little side quests. The Fucking Time and Structure.) vs "I haven't finished Engage yet" (I have commitment issues 😔 I don't wanna let go.... 😟 I don't want it to be over 😢😢😭💔💔💔)

Sometimes you’ve just gotta team up and conspire against your children to get their hair done for the day. Especially when they’re ready to hunt for Rivendell’s mysterious treasure (that totally exists) with the map (that they got from who knows where)

HELLO?

[imabiscuitinthousandworlds]

I LOVE going everywhere by bike. Don't need to wait for a bus. Don't need to cram myself into a bus with (urgh) people. Or even worse, what feels like every single student in town. I still get home in about the same amount of time. I'm so so flexible including with places. Like yeah sure, let's go there! I don't care if the next bus station is far away. Doesn't matter to me.

Stayed out late with friends recently. Two of em had to get their family to come pick them up because that's too far to walk and it was too late for buses. A different friend lives like 30 minutes away but always walks and their way goes through a small park where literally no one is at with few lanterns so it's pitch black and I could literally just walk them home and then take the bike which is faster and has its own light and feels and probably is safer than walking those dark ass streets at night alone.

Like. I can just do all that. And yeah, sometimes when I'm not doing too well I feel like collapsing afterwards and yeah, maybe my fingers feel like falling off a lot at this time of year but that's like. SO worth it. I have no idea how people can live and NOT go everywhere by bike. Like if it's more than 20-30 minutes maybe but even with hills.... I fucking love my bike.

What would happen if instead of being hostile Other!Bill would try and see what made OG!Bill so happy with this living situation

So he tries and romance dipper, hugs him sometimes (although it grosses him out, but he realized it's nice once is a while), and just stuff he'd think OG!Bill would do.

In the end OG!Bill comes back to see Other!Bill curled up cozily under a blanket in PT's lap while PT is reading a book and PT is even petting his head softly, thinking what the fuck?? That's supposed to be me

If Bill saw Other Bill doing that with Dipper - settled comfortably in his lap, relaxed and being petted, cuddled and pampered -

He would experience white-hot, visceral jealousy. Like a shard of neutron star went right through his chest.

Killing another version of yourself, for a Bill Cipher, is very gauche. It's the reason he didn't do it to Other Bill in the first place, even though he was a total douche!

But for this, Bill will make an exception.
