i wonder how many more people would've vehemently hated gale right off the bat on full release if his introduction conversation had stayed like this or something similar

following on from this. not to always bring marc into everything (sorry marc) but if assen 2015 had happened against jorge, valentino would have very likely pulled something similar again imo. rather than what he actually did, which is approach marc almost immediately for a nice normal friendly handshake and backing off during the podium celebrations. should be noted that during laguna seca '08, valentino was very much committed to yapping at casey on the podium with the world's biggest smuggest grin on his face
partly that disparity is because jorge not marc was the direct title rival, partly it's because valentino was treating marc with kid gloves right until the second that he wasn't, which marc was seemingly entirely oblivious to. if anyone other than marc had said what he said in that presser, had then continued on with similar rhetoric during sachsenring, valentino would quite likely have gone nuclear. he's done it over less than that. his fondness for marc made him continue to exhibit uncharacteristic restraint... except that fondness unfortunately is what left valentino feeling so very betrayed when (to his eyes) marc could not leave well enough alone
#it's so delightfully tragic isn't it. a lot of 2015 played out the way it did because valentino genuinely wasn't looking for beef#but then felt backed into a corner and decided he had no other option than to blow this shit up#if casey says 'what I think is that we won the race' valentino would've torn him a new one then and there like...#if sete had called assen his best race of the season valentino would've reached for the chalk and incense even sooner#though fwiw I do think the relationship was basically doomed from that point. something would have happened sooner or later#2015 is so funny conceptually because there was already something *off* about it most of the way through. you have the familiar beats#but they shouldn't be HAPPENING with marc. they should be happening with the actual title rival - who vale never properly fought all season#assen 2015 should've been laguna should've been catalunya hell it should've been assen 2004 but it couldn't be#valentino kept accidentally inflicting the psychological blows on the wrong guy because jorge just refused to end up in a straight fight#assen SHOULD have been a pivotal race. but of course it couldn't be because what psychological blow was jorge lorenzo being dealt?#btw the unwillingness to beef doesn't just extend to marc. valentino makes a concerted effort to be uncharacteristically friendly to jorge#still think he would've rubbed assen in his face but. overall! he was trying! which again. very ironic#funhouse mirror ass season i love it dearly#//#brr brr#slowly dipping my toes into dropping 2015 hot takes on tumblr dot com... for so long these have been between me god and my google doc#i love jorge i think he's been involved in a lot of iconic battles i think it's funny not a single one of them happened in 2015#minus kinda phillip island but even there it did feel like the other three were Doing More than him#also just a different vibe to a proper one-on-one. a WEIRD title run where the third man that whole year walks away with the trophy

"Your son?" "My apprentice, but I think of him like a son."
#pentiment#andreas maler#casper ziegler#my art#it took me about two seconds to go full 'if anything happens to my beloved casper i'm killing everyone in this town and then myself'#'and then no one will be around to solve this murder mystery because we'll ALL be dead'#(some spoilers to at least where im at in the game>)#my andreas loved his son but found no love with his wife#(though he wanted to. he really wanted to.)#drifting off alone and finding this kind of 'what if' when he took casper on and began travelling#and it wasn't fair to anyone involved. not his wife who had to face loss alone#not andreas who was trying to cover up the hole august left with another family's son#not casper (though he wouldn't know this- since he didn't realize the extent andreas really cared about him like a father)#but most things went unspoken and most consequences unseen#so there was just this deep undercurrent of silent fatherly love and worry beneath every interaction#between the two#and it KILLS me even though i know 99% of this was me reading between the lines they let me choose#i wonder if my andreas kind of secretly wished casper's family didn't make it through the turmoil#it's a fucked up thought and i think he'd feel extremely guilty if he ever caught himself thinking it#but there's got to be some extreme dread there about the idea of the apprenticeship ending and this boy he considers a son cutting ties#and really having to face going back to his wife who he (rightfully) feels guilty about leaving.#even if she never loved him#and even if only pain was there to return to#ANYWAY#I FEEL TOTALLY NORMAL ABOUT ANDREAS MALER#edit: guess who just completed the game. guess who’s own art is now making herself SAD

"so is your son really the reason you don't date?" "it's like he's having an affair with his own wife, you don't think that's weird?" "seems like she's already back in yours" "christopher's pretty english teacher" "eddie, what would you say ana's love language is?" "hey, how was the big date?" "i thought i'd been single too long" "sounds pretty serious" "so what are you going to do?" "that's not how you talk about someone you're in love with" "is that enough?" "you could always ghost her" "okay so that's what this is, you suck at [dating]".
u see where i'm going with this?

i don’t think we talk enough abt how when miguel first got his Spider Powers it was at least partly because his coworker genuinely tried to murder him on a whim just for being. like. kind of annoying at the workplace. utterly deranged and iconic behavior from aaron here

people on the fanon wiki will just straight up announce that they haven't actually watched the show huh
#atla#azulaposting#''she wanted to steal the throne from him'' girl WHEN#when he got banished? which she had nothing to do with?#when she actively chose to give up the role of crown prince(ss) by bringing him back?#when he decided WITH NO INVOLVEMENT ON HER PART to commit treason and be a good guy?#he's the one who plotted to steal the throne from HER#y'know that whole ''let's go beat the shit outta my sister'' thing?#like azula didn't manipulate him into giving the throne to her he literally gave it up when he COMMITTED TREASON#AND ANNOUNCED THAT HE WAS COMMITTING TREASON TO HIS FATHER'S FACE#you think he wasn't disowned as fuck? he threw LIGHTNING (back) at the fire lord!#azula had literally nothing to do with anything concerning zuko's place in line for the throne except for when she brought him back#and then again when he decided he was going to be fire lord despite DEFINITELY no longer being eligible (bc. y'know. TREASON)#at no point did azula ever even imply she wanted to take the throne from zuko#she EXPECTED it would be hers bc HE LITERALLY WAS NOT THERE#first he got banished and then he fucked off of his own free will#neither time had anything to do with anything azula did#hell azula is the only living member of the royal family we meet in the series outside of flashbacks who DIDN'T conspire for the throne#iroh managed to conspire for the throne despite debatably having the most right to it out of everyone#granted it was on zuko's behalf but STILL#hell even in the character assassinations i mean the comics no i don't she's not conspiring for the throne#she's trying to push zuko back towards what she thinks is the ''right'' path#but she's not trying to take it for herself#the only time azula even seems to want the throne is when her dad tells her it's hers now and even then she'd clearly rather he keep it#bc that'd mean he'd be sticking around and she was kinda sick of getting abandoned by then#azula: *getting crowned as per the previous fire lord's orders*#and no the argument that ozai wasn't a legitimate fire lord is entirely invalidated by how unwilling iroh was to do shit about fuck#which ended up proving ozai right come to think of it#he WAS a better fire lord than iroh. bc he. y'know. actually did stuff#gah

Honestly tragic that Light went down the path he did in the 2nd half bc in the beginning Tobias would've really liked him. He wholeheartedly agrees that the only way to bring REAL "justice" is by making sure the perpetrator will never be able to do evil again, which will never be achievable through lawful means like incarceration (especially in cases where they're connected to a bigshot who can bail them out) so the only way to truly get rid of evil is, like Light figured, through kiIIing them all
#muse: tobias.#Ironically enough Tobias thinks Light isn't (wasn't) harsh enough in his 'judgements'. HE would've made sure they suffer WAY more#I think the biggest differences between Tobias and Light are that 1) Tobias doesn't view himself as a 'God' or anything of the sort;#though he doesn't hurt innocent people for fun or money like they do; he views himself as not THAT different from his enemies#I mean sure he's disgusted by 99% of them but he's aware he does many things the faint of heart would never be able to stand looking at too#2) Light does everything as if he's not involved. He sets out 'judgements' to people who are far away; through more indirect means#whereas Tobias is much more involved. He PERSONALLY sets time aside to deliver the payback to the people who are in high positions#Most of the time he makes sure their last ever conversation is w him. Sometimes their death is remote (but still horrible; i.e explosions)#other times it's by his hands in which case they Wish they could've died like that ^ instead bc his torture isn't Only physical#3) Light doesn't care who he has to discard; being willing to kiII even his closest allies who would never think of turning on him#whereas Tobias would Never abandon his true allies like that. He knows damn well how hard to get across they are and he treasures them#so he's willing to take heavy losses to save them if need be; and certainly won't ever discard them the way Light would#4) Tobias knows damn well that by doing what he's doing it means he's eventually going to end up dead like his enemies and he's fine w that#meanwhile Light seriously thought he would conquer the world; have nothing happen to him whatsoever; then die a peaceful death#I should write a proper meta on the similarities and differences between Light (+L) and Tobias sometime bc I keep thinking about them

thinks about the double entendre in tristan's bio ("one day, Tristan fell in love with a woman named Iseult. No, he was made to fall in love.") and then starts chewing my hands off
#in the official english bio it's ''he accidentally fell in love'' but NOOO it makes it sound much more passive and muted i'm not the biggest#fan of it fkjlds#like made to fall in love is so. like there's the reading of forcefulness like he was MADE to fall in love he wasn't allowed another option#but also a sort of all-encompassing nature to it like almost overwhelming#i was MADE to fall in love my only reason for being born was to love you ect ect and those both combined makes me AAAAAAAAA#like my vers. of tristan and isolde and like most versions ive seen are very consensual re: the love potion stuff#but ouuuu tristannnn fate grand order...#hell there probably didnt even need to be a love potion involved for this guy bc i think genuinely if he was given even a modicum of#genuine affection from isolde of ireland he would cling and obsess over it so strongly BECAUSE hes propped up as this child of sadness#this person who looks so pretty but oh so sorrowful and sings such beautiful poems filled with grief that it ended up feeding into a self#destructive cycle of very very rarely allowing himself to be anything more than that yknow#so when he's given a promise of affection and a love potion what else could he have done?#hes everything to me <33333333333333333#hes everything and he keeps becoming a bit character about fucking married women EVEN THOUGH. TECHNICALLY. HE FELL IN LOVE WHILE SHE WAS#BEING TAKEN TO MARK SO SHE WASN'T EVEN MARRIED YET#im so excited to see whats goin on with him in lb6 though <3 riot win for them using his old english name

Girl help I’m getting emotional about how much Munkustrap admires Gus the Theatre Cat again. 
#extemporize back chat#and like honestly in some versions of the show tugger too depending on how involved he gets#that's his hero - that's who i felt like - at one time - munk wanted to be more than anything#because i always see like 'munk is a better storyteller than even gus is' and i'm like *no hang on a sec*#gus is a master at his craft - cats admire and respect him for a reason#munkustrap himself would be like...yes i'm good but i wish you really understood where i got it from#because by the time he's up and about telling his own stories and taking over that role gus has started to fade out#it's hard to understand how good he really was because the proof isn't much there anymore#and all munk really remembers is listening to gus with his chin perched on his knee and looking up at him#like he's the most phenomenal cat in the world#like wow this is who i want to be when i grow up#and that's all he sees when he looks at him - when he's around him he's just little kitten munk again#with his speech impediment and social difficulties and big daydreams#who gus would talk to like an adult and encourage that whimsy and skill clumsy and stilted as it started#who opened up *entire worlds for him* that he held onto even as he struggled to be something he wasn't#who was the only one who would peer at his face and remark how much he looked like his mother when every other cat#would say he looked like Deuteronomy#gaH#that's why i really don't like the bway revival version where they make that...joke? i guess#because munk working alongside his hero in a grand flourish to show him how much he loves him is really just something#that needs to be done out of love#and not..tolerance i guess?#you know?#anyway

back from the dead to say: i watched it 2x now and that was some of his best material, he is one of the best storytellers of this generation and although this is a much more “thematic” special (which might have left some critics displeased), his style remained the same. he was honest about his struggles but didn’t go down a style of misery-comedy that was never his (he didn’t try to please the kids by being bo burham). he is still at the top of his game when it comes to being a performer, he owns the stage and controls the crowd brilliantly like he’s always done. i’m very very pleased

i'm sure a million people have already said this sorta thing but goddamn this is the most frustrating hour of critical role i've ever watched
#and i've been here a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time#like. taliesin acting like this was a choice that was gonna involve sacrifice and pain and then he would get to be something else#when matt all but explicitly said 'yeah so anybody BUT ashton taking this will be fine but if ashton does it he'll straight die'#like. like. like. honestly.#matt could not have been more clear that this one wasn't meant for ashton#it honestly feels like if keyleth had tried to claim fenthras.#or like. if vax had tried to claim the vestige that went to percy#like. sometimes you make choices in a roleplaying game because they're the right choice above the table.#it is not chill to hoard loot or to take things from other pcs and that's honestly what this situation feels like.#it couldve been literally anybody else. anyone. anyone at all.#admittedly lets be real this feels like the most fitting conclusion to ashton's story imo lmao he was born of hubris and he died of hubris#but like! theyre not gonna let this be the end of his story!#which sucks for me! a person who dislikes the character and is now watching him do the MOST FRUSTRATING THING EVER#and hes almost certainly not even gonna feel the consequences of it#also him kissing fearne to manipulate her and then saying 'that's never happening again' was AWFUL. absolutely awful.#i don't care how he meant it#also when matt said 5 rounds to go and taliesin was like oh i thought it was further#when matt said 'i was real clear yall' i FELT for him#he did EVERYTHING right as a dm! this isn't on him!#when your players go against your signposting...#also the fact that taliesin keeps asking for people to stay and heal him and keep him together?#when they're taking damage and probably gonna be destroyed by his death???? fuck me#look! i like taliesin as a person! but DAMN I hate the way he plays the game lmao!#the only character of his i've ever liked is caduceus#good for marisha saying NO to giving her supermassive new healing potion to ashton lmao#i would not have been NEARLY as gracious as matt about this lmao#im keeping my liveblogging to these tags bc i do not want to get caught up in discourse lmao#also matt wtf the DC in the last two rounds was only 15???? by the end it should absolutely be DC 20 cmon#hes trying to absorb the essence of a PRIMORDIAL TITAN into a body which is already holding the essence of a different primordial titan!!!!#god. i wish he didnt have that fucking ring. i desperately wish he died doing this.

@stillsolo sent an ask:
technical machine character development meme.
( also tagging @skysaunter , they're both you but still lol )
bubble beam. what’s a fond memory your muse has from their childhood?
none too quiet giggles poured his grinning lips as he, for must have been the hundredth time, spun around in a circle. the very large, very baggy, very not his robes that all but swallowed up his little frame flowed dramatically.
matt paused only then, after the heavy layers had stilled around him, to grin at his reflection. the dark robes normally donned by his gram'pa had been an adventure to acquire, one that required stealth, secrecy, alertness, a lot of dragging of chairs and climbing up drawers, and finally hefting out and donning. but it'd all been well worth it. he only hoped the nanny droid wouldn't be too upset about their temporary disassembly once he put them back together.
after admiring how amazing he looked in his borrowed ( not stolen ) robe, Matt tried to mimic the serious expression and stature his gram'pa often wore when he was doing his emperoring. He widened his stance, the big boots swallowing up most of his legs, not that it was easy to see when the flowing dramatic robe covered most of him. but still something was missing.
with a slight pout matt stood, thinking and thinking and thinking about what he needed to add that extra gram'pa-ness he'd needed to truly look that part. and then it clicked and matt was scrambling, and nearly tripping to his backpack. all the while he was unaware of the figure watching him with quiet amusement.
he scrambled through only to pull out a marker with joyful triumph. his return to the mirror was marked with him strutting carefully, just like he saw his gram'pa do with long, powerful, strides. another chorus of giggles erupted from him. oh if gram'pa could see him now, he'd be oh so impressed by how good matt was at pretending.
marker in hand matt carefully drew a line over his eyebrow, right where gram'pa's was. and there. he was perfect. the spitting image, in his own happy opinion, of Anakin Skywalker, the dark lord Darth Vader, the Emperor, his very own favorite gram'pa.
'and what are you doing, Matthew?'
Matt nearly jumped out of his skin at the sound of that familiar voice. he whirled around with such quickness that he almost tripped and fell to the floor, ( how gram'pa could move so easily in this big, baggy robe he didn't know. it was truly the most impressive of feats. no wonder he was the emperor. ) but an outstretched hand and easy command of the force by Vaderkin had the boy steadied and righted.
a sheepish smile stretched across his features at being caught, and he looked down to twiddle his hands for all of two seconds before he was straightening up and confidently striding, which turned into an excited, eager stumbling, towards his grandfather, a wide and simply joyous grin lighting up his little face. "i'm you!" he raised his arms, outstretched in a plea to be lifted up so that Anakin could take a good look at all his efforts.
the twinkle of amusement in the older man's eyes, the gentle way he's held as his drawn on scar is inspected, and the light pat to the top of his head that ruffles his hair makes matt's entire adventure ( even though he's sure that papa and daddy will have something to say about him dismantling his nanny droid and wandering around by himself ) worth it.

just my silly thoughts on why i love the latest igtv.
#i wasn't sure what i thought of the latest igtv but after after watching it again i really enjoy it#it's like a love letter to latam fans but also his fans in general#even though we didn't get much stage footage until the last few seconds it was filled with content that joshua films of fans before the sho#this is what louis sees through josh's lens and as josh said this tour has been unreal never documented anything like it#and while josh puts the videos together we know that louis is involved and gives final approval so this is what LOUIS WANTS TO SHARE WITH U#i love getting to listen to him speak about how he feels : how he felt prior to going on tour not knowing if it would even happen#then to the reception he has had all over the world and in particular latam#this igtv was his moment of reflection his moment to take it all in as he has done during this leg of the tour when he watches the crowd#at the end of beautiful war and shakes his head in amazement#so yes it was only a 3 minute igtv that didn't share as much bts or stage footage but to me it showed so much more#again he's telling us the insecurities and uncertainties that he had at the start of his solo career (like he did in the afhf2021 doc)#he's telling us how he thinks about the tour and how they continue to work on the show the staging and how he feels that he himself#as an singer and performer has evolved over the last four month#and most of all he tells us how he feels about stepping into a each city and the reception he gets not just on stage but off stage#he feels the love and support we give to him as a SOLO artist#so yeah i wish we got yacht footage but i am grateful that louis took the time to do a reflective video and ultimately#it was the perfect leg of the tour to do it#so thank you louis for sharing a piece of you with us#if you made it to the end thank you for reading my ramblings#lt igtv#6.10.22#mine#ltwt2022 latam
