how many murder robots can there realistically be in dwemer ruins? I understand it from a game making perspective but like... they're meant to be cities. people lived there. I suppose the animunculi would have some use as an army and maybe as guards but aside from that what's the point?
most of the automatons have to be much more benign. cleaners and errand-runners and assistants in laboratories. I want to see those robots. elder scrolls six get on this

if Lamb, Narinder, and the bishops got into Guilty Gear Strive who would they main
OK SO THIS ISN'T ABOUT THE LORE IT'S ABOUT SPECIFICALLY THE WAY THEY PLAY I THINK NARINDER WOULD EITHER PLAY ZATO BECAUSE OF HOW AWFUL HIS GAMEPLAY IS OR FAUST DEPENDING ON HIS MOOD BUT THE LAMB WOULD PLAY POTEMKIN BECAUSE THIS MOTHERFUCKER WOULD JUST DESTROY U IN 2 SECONDS IN ANY GAME. THE LAMB IS THE BEST AT GGS.
THE BISHOPS I DONT KNOW IMA BE FR WITH YOU I THINK LESHY WOULD TRY TO PLAY HAPPY CHAOS TO BE COOL BUT HE'D BE SUPER BAD BECAUSE HE DOESN'T GET THE POINT OF HC GAMEPLAY AND ALSO HAPPY CHAOS GAVE ME CARPAL TUNNEL AND I THINK LESHY WOULD MAKE THAT MISTAKE AS WELL

Despite the MANY flaws of Tim Burton's adaptation of Sweeney Todd, the one thing he ate was the By the Sea sequence (most of it, anyway). The outfits make me giggle like a kid every time. But ALSO I love how subtle they make Sweeney's tux for the wedding look like a straight jacket. And with the tortured face of a man who does NOT want to be there. Mwah. I'll eat it up every time.
This is unrelated to the intent of the post but I have to share this while I'm seamaxxing.
HE LOOKS SO PROUD AND SO STUPID

the best parts of MV continue to be the moments where they have the extremely iconic masculine characters both question and defy toxic masculine norms. for example,
both Rico and Sonny show compassion and sometimes even affection for each other
both Rico and Sonny show it's okay to cry and be vulnerable, and that you shouldn't be mocked for it
both Rico and Sonny treat sex workers as fellow human beings who deserve respect and protection (sidenote: i think the undercover cops relate to the hookers because both jobs require putting on a persona under potentially dangerous circumstances)
Sonny regrets not backing up a friend who came out as gay because he was young and didn't know what to do
Sonny regrets not standing up for a high school classmate who was sexually assaulted and then demeaned behind her back, again because he was young and didn't know what to do
Sonny barely holds back his rage against a man who emotionally abuses his wife
Sonny barely holds back his rage against all abusers, including the couple who exploited a 13yo runaway for their own benefit
Sonny does, for the most part, hold back his rage or seek counsel from a male friend to calm him down (his anger issues needed more attention in the writing imo)
Rico approaches difficult circumstances with calm compassion and a positive mental attitude
Rico makes it clear it is never okay for an adult man to have a sexual interest in teenage girls even when they are asking for it
Rico also makes it clear that a hypersexual teenage girl does not deserve less respect for acting that way
Sonny is continuously nonplussed by LGBTQ people, treating them as equals, and rolling his eyes at cishet who don't like it
Sonny is emotionally devastated over every teenage boy who doesn't make it out of a bad situation
Castillo is gentler with female officers, female victims, and is proud of his wife for marrying again and finding happiness
actually, the biggest deal to me is this reoccuring theme of "forgive yourself for not knowing better at the time."
For instance, Sonny doesn't seem to know how to handle Gina's rape, but in a later season when she is avidly hunting down a friend's rapist Sonny jumps at the opportunity to chase the man down and be extra aggressive. Then in other instances where sexual assault is a topic, Sonny has stronger opinions and stronger reactions. So part of his character is that he learns, but it's usually the hard way and he tends to overcorrect.

yk usually id go on a fake deep rant or two on how feminizing a character whos a canon misogynist & warmongering sex pest fall into fan perceptions of yadda yadda but yall. this mf reuenthal literally imagined himself as his mother& his mother’s paramour as someone strongly resembling his homeboy. like that fucking flashback sequence in ep 90whatever is insane in so many ways if i ever get into a rewatch again i will drop my thinkpiece on it line by line… all the flashbacks of his mom leonora (who in the ova. was left unnamed) he always creepily resembles her. or rather his brain warps her into resembling him. bc he literally could not have known what she looked like . like he even says the foundational flashback of leonora tryna kill his infant self is not something he could have remembered but he believed it & due to his father’s constant abuse of him in his childhood this attempt on his life as soon as he was born became a cornerstone in the development of his Ego (using this to mean his self). like the society he was born into is so reactionary & chauvinist like all the other women on the empire side besides hilda (whos established as an exception to the rule) have very long hair so it makes no sense for a nobless leonora to have short hair just like reuenthal & look just like him. this is literally just his twisted mind cooking w grease. its not only rationale for his misogyny in whats already a v misogynist fictional society.. its also how he defines himself in relation to his mother. the witch who tried to murder the product of her own infidelity & the witch’s brew, her lookalike son with the ever present reminder of her ‘mistake’, who managed to ruin anything good he had in his life by his own hands. imagine if someone introduced the spaceboy to hormones instead of battlecraft & a hypermilitarized space culture

if i think too long about how fraggle rock, the muppets, and sesame street are all owned by different companies and their rights are all tied up in corporate bullshit, and how we'll probably never get another thing like muppet family christmas ever again, i get really sad about the state of the world. so i try not to. but sometimes i Do. and i

The solar eclipse is gonna happen on the 8th (also happens to be my mom's birthday) and people are already coming in from out of town and it's gonna be really funny because they're predicting it's gonna be completely overcast during the eclipse lol
Like our town is one of the ones in the totality line and is the second (or third?) smallest town on it and we have a total of two motels and one hotel (if you can call it that) and theyve been booked solid for these two weeks since like January. These people are gonna be bored as fuck for the next week. I've lived here for almost three decades and I've never been not bored. The only stores that are still open in the "historic downtown" are the Dollar General, a shitty antique store and the hookah store with the Cheech and Chong gnomes in the window. Closest thing we have to a restaurant is Whataburger.
I saw a family pulled over on the side of the road yesterday all crowded around a tiny patch of Bluebonnets taking pictures, which was just really funny to me because around the corner was an entire field of them and I'm like oh boy when they drive another mile they're gonna lose their fucking minds.
I guess if they get excited about wildflowers then they might not be so bored after all. Just hope they watch the roads while they're driving. 🫣
