The bright side of Prey having nigh-identical controls to Dishonored is that I didn't have to adjust much even after all the hours I've been spending lately on pretty much the entire series.

The less bright side is that I keep trying to use Blink and Void Gaze to get around Talos I

You do realize that I don't have shit else to do for the next four days except exact revenge on everyone who made fun of me.

good afternoon i am thinking about aelynn again today

specifically the series of events that led to her wanting to train and be stronger

because while she's always been a fighter, it wasn't until quite some time after her first death that she actually considered that she might want to. practice being better.

[thewertsearch]

TT: [...] I got a little help from RL and ganked it out of his museum. [...] GG: [...] Wasn't he furious about your burglary? TT: Pretty sure he didn't even notice. In years since, I never saw a news story about a "daring heist" or anything. I feel like he would have made some hay outta that.

Lil' Bro thinks he's more likely to get news about Dave from a newspaper than from the man himself.

...yeah, Dave has absolutely no involvement in this kid's life. That's better than giving him the Bro treatment, I guess, but the bar is on the floor.

Jane - the child being brainwashed by an alien - might just have the best home life in her entire friend group. That's fucked up, man.

GG: Why didn't you mention this when you gave the gift? More irony? TT: Essentially. It's not that easy to explain. TT: Broadcasting the gesture would have made it seem tawdry, and would somewhat defray its humor value. GG: I see. So it was like a private joke, and if anyone besides you was in on it, the joke would be ruined! TT: Like I said, there are layers.

Unlike John, Jane is sincerely interested in her friend's post-ironic nonsense. She actually likes this style of humor, and Bro's more than happy to yap philosophical about how it works. I suppose Jane's sense of humor isn't quite as cornball as John's, so she's willing to engage with Bro's more cerebral style of comedy.

As a result...

TT: On one level, I gave you a filthy tattered piece of shit[...] TT: On another level, I needed to incorporate something passable as a real heirloom. TT: For sentimental reasons. GG: D'awwwww. GG: Wait, real sentiment, or ironic sentiment? TT: No, it was genuine. TT: The upper echelons of irony should always include measures of sincerity. [...] GG: I have so much to learn. And I am not even saying that "ironically!"

...they're kind of besties, aren't they?

GG: Will you teach me your ways one day, sir? Perhaps an apprenticeship will open? TT: Oh god, I'd love that. TT: Consider the position yours for the taking any time. [...]

Like, I said before, it's obvious that Lil' Bro is a lonely kid - so when Jane offers him her company here, I think it means much, much more to him than she realizes.

TT: [...] Feel free to approach and kneel before Cal. With my sword and his floppy mitten, you will receive my flashstep anointment shoulder to shoulder, and to shoulder again.

lmao

I never thought that Bro of all people would be involved in such a wholesome interaction, but I'm pleasantly surprised. If these two end up falling out over the Jake issue, I'm going to be so sad.

the flashstepping phenomenon is so funny to me like i get that homestuck is a video game world even before they actually enter the video game but even with that most of the kids are at least a little surprised and excited that they get access to superpowers. meanwhile a couple characters just already have literal superspeed and it never matters at all

[peterbwatsonparker]

he speeds up when he's serious and outclassed! so, you know, on top of the whole not pulling his punches aspect, there's the acceleration adding force bit that probably helps

superhero stories tend to only pay a glancing amount of attention to physics when thematically appropriate, but i wonder how much of spider-man's ability to punch above his weight class has to do with the fact that, technically, he has both super strength and super speed

[jojotier]

In act 1 we see Mom Lalonde able to appear and then disappear in a flash of lightning, heavily implying that she knows how to flashstep. Ergo Rose can also flashstep. Meaning that at some point she and Dave are just going around the meteor going *teleports behind you* *teleports behind you* *tele

[pochapal]

Kanon. Thoughts?

history's most obliterated twink who did literally zero things wrong and anything he did do was correct and justified btw

[epickiya722]

Every time now when I see State Farm I'm gonna think of my guy Deku because someone really said "he just flashstepped Shigaraki with that LIKE A GOOD NEIGHBOR STATE FARM IS THERE ass move" (talking about when he used Gearshift).

[s0ulslasher]

Your name is DIRK.

Holy SHIT do you love EDGING.

You possess the extreme dexterity to operate your FALSE BETAS, UNSEEN, that is, when they are not pre-ambulatory through your LOVINGLY IMBUED MEWING. You dig writing COGNITIVE ALGORITHMS FOR SAID GAY MEN, and you think maybe that's FUCKIN' SIKIBIDI. Guess what else is dope? Everything ELSE YOU FANUM TAX. You're a sickwicked autodidact on ANCIENT OHIO, a selfmade MASTER OF HOESMAXXING, and a PRETERNATURAL KAI CENAT ACADEME.

If you weren't so DAMN SUSSY and actually let people GET A LOAD, you might get described all kindsa ways. Maybe tagged as a RENAISSANCE GOONER,REDDITOR PRINCE, and FLASHSTEP PLUH. Or perhaps a PANTHEONIC SIGMA, GANGSTA GAMER , LUCID WAKER and DERSITE SPY. Screw descriptors though, as if the edges you give ain't nil. You're sigma with dabbling in the FINE SEQUENTIAL TIKTOKS, and your work could be viewed by some as BORDERLINE PORNOGRAPHIC(porn is the most brainrotting thing ever Im not changing it.). And to those philistines you'll be heard wondering, what the fuck do you mean L RATIO?

[celestialtrolls-moved]

when you draw your oc's boyfriend and she has to giggle to herself for a while

#the owl house#epic post i love their dynamic so much#a pair of shin kickers#also i love acknowledgments that Hunter genuinely liked Luz a lot and seemed to have a lot of fun with her#even when he was trying to be her ✨️Enemy✨️#if the show wasnt fighting its like to get every episode made without getting canceled and they got to stretch the seasons out more#luz and hunter could have had such a kim and shego dynamic#battling each other from opposite allegiances. thwarting each others plans. but also like#hunter: hey did you do something different with your hair? [blasting a death ray at her]#luz: [blocks it by using an ice glyph] i did :D!#hunter: looks good man looks good [tries to brain her with the head of his staff] (via @lollytea)

YOU UNDERSTAND ME LIKE NO ONE ELSE. YES

the idea of luz and hunter having a much slower-burn enemies to frenemies to friends arc gets me EVERY TIME. i would KILL for them to have more individual interactions between hunting palismen and hollow mind.

like i can so clearly imagine a stupid episode plot wherein eda is getting something fabulously illegal from the night market & hunter starts to shut the whole thing down & eda's like quick luz!! distract him he likes you

luz: he WHAT-?

eda: NO TIME FOR THAT, GO BE A SCRAPPY HUMAN FOR ME

(we stan a negligent crime owl mom. eda has never done anything wrong in her life)

luz and hunter start scrapping with a combination of vicious wild magic and even more vicious beating-the-piss-out-of-each-other, as they do, and they're clearly both having a great time with it. the tone is very low stakes, it's a fun battle but it's nothing like the amity-hunter in eclipse lake or the lilith-eda in agony of a witch, yknow. it's a friendly duel! that might incidentally kill one or both of them

then one of the spells from hunter's staff hits luz square in the chest.

luz shouts in pain and drops like a stone.

hunter freezes immediately, flashsteps over to her to see what the damage is. he's like, "how bad is-- can you sit up??" he's transparently anxious, hovering over her like an older brother who just saw a younger kid eat shit on their bike. maybe even takes off his mask for better wound-assessing visibility??

luz is like [weakly] "yeah, i think so." sits up very slowly. winces a lot about it. hunter visibly exhales in relief

BAM

FIST OUTTA NOWHERE.

LUZ CLOCKS HIM IN THE NOSE AND HOPS UP PERFECTLY FINE

hunter, clutching his face: AUGH - HUMAN -

luz, scampering off, cheerfully shouting back at him as she goes: hahAHAHA! YOU DO LIKE MEEEEE!!! :DDD
