now back to main cast

[salty-an-disco]

Contrarian and Cold are such fun characters to put together cuz Contrarian will say some shit like “You wouldn’t throw yourself off a cliff” and Cold will be like “watch me, motherfucker” and immediately go YEET! without a second fucking thought

Porter and Jace both being masochists is so fun to me bc you just know in all their past relationships people were like “oh I love that stuff! Some light choking and spanking would be fun~”

Jace ends up having explain that he wants to be body slammed, slapped, used, abused and choked within an inch of his life and every time they’re like “woah okay that’s a bit much..”

And for Porter he’s like “just fuckin beat the shit out of me.” And everyone is like “I’ll do it if your promise not to get mad.” He doesn’t promise and they run for the fucking hills.

So by the time that they’re sleeping together it really is just WWE in the bedroom to make up for lost time.

Ok but, is anyone else kind of disappointed that Law is never really shown to have a moment to mourn his family?

It’s just like, the event in Flevance happens, and then he shows up at the Donquixote pirates doorstep to be recruited by Doflamingo which leads to everything else. But within that time shown, he bonds with Corazon and all, but never is shown to reference/think about his family, especially Lami who he seemed to be pretty close to.

He could have had that moment after Cora’s death but based on his life’s mission and formation of his crew and stuff it doesn’t seem likely. Even as an adult I just wish he had some sort of recognition to his family/town the way he has with his memorialization of Corazon’s memory.

Also I’ve always had a little angsty headcannon of my own that, because of Flevance being burned to the ground Law doesn’t have any photos or anything of his family. And I think because of that, and because the last time he saw his family was at such a young age, that he gets scared that he will/already has to a point forget his family’s faces. Especially being a doctor and knowing how unreliable the brains storage of memories can be some times, I feel like he’s definitely been upset over not being able to recall every single detail of the people who loved him.

(And I actually want to do something based on him having an old distressed paper he keeps locked in his desk that’s actually an old crayon family portrait he did soon after escaping his town so he could still have his family with him somehow)

God- that got angsty quick- sorry about that

Keith walking into the holding cell greeting all the regulars by name while Lance is sobbing lamenting that his life is over and his future is ruined (they were like. Trespassing or some shit he’s going to be fine)

lance: (actively dry heaving in the corner, on the verge of a panic attack as he imagines having a permanent record)(actually what does a permanent record even look like?)(omg is he going to have to go to COURT? like in JUDGE JUDY?)

keith: remy, this is lance. lance, this is remy, she’s my favorite alcoholic :)

couldn't decide which one I liked more so I just did both

[raayllum]

anyway because I'm seeing people (perhaps understandably!) misinterpret what I mean when it comes to the broyals angst plot line

While Ezran feeling like Callum hasn't been there enough for him as high mage / that Callum is abandoning him is not where they currently are in the text (though I do think there's some subtext), Ezran having these feelings at one point is a natural symptom / almost a temporary inevitability for the disagreement about Runaan in the first place for a few different reasons.

The first is that an argument for the boys about Runaan is the catalyst for Ezran to feel (or realize he feels) that way, not that it's where they currently are in the present at all. Because right now we know, thanks to Deep Below, that Ezran does harbour a lot of anger and resentment at Runaan (in ways he doesn't seemingly towards Zubeia, I might add, which is valid in its own right).

And how is Ezran going to feel when he finds out that Callum wants to free Runaan / has no 'real issues' with him, and Ezran does?

He's probably going to feel like Callum isn't on his side, that they're opposed. He's going to feel like Callum doesn't care that the situation is unfair, that Callum is prioritizing Runaan over their dead father. That Callum is prioritizing Runaan over backing up Ezran, over being there for his brother. Ezran is going to be searching for an answer as to how and why Callum could feel so differently, and maybe think it's because Callum lost 'less' than Ezran did, because Ez was always close to Harrow and more importantly, Ezran is tethered to the Harrow's crown and throne and kingdom more than Callum ever, fundamentally, will be.

Should Ezran not feel abandoned? Should he not feel like Callum isn't doing enough for him then? Can he not feel like his brother is supposed to agree with him and be on 'his side'?

Can Ezran not agree with Soren and feel that it's unfair (textually) that "he has to struggle through this alone?"

Nor is Callum the bad guy in this situation (jc), either - nor is Ezran, because as often times in TDP, there is no 'Bad Guy'. There's just people, and their responses to the cycle, and when and how they choose to break or they don't.

Saying the situation is unfounded or that it makes someone into the bad guy just feels like people don't understand how easily and accidentally sibling bonds can get messy, how protection can feel like a lack of trust, how an age gap sibling relationship can lead to inadvertent infantilization, how you can both be doing your best and still accidentally hurt each other or be driving each other fucking crazy because you're fundamentally different people. Or, y'know, all the foreshadowing

J: I may be queen, but even I don't have the power to stop those two once they've set their mind on something.

The brothers disagreed about whether to find the prison or the Nova Blade. We know in 6x01 they disagree temporarily on what to do with the prison now that they have it. If Viren is alive and goes back to Katolis (as I've written in fanon s6) they'll probably disagree on what to do with him. And they are going to disagree about Runaan, too.

And I like the mess, so sue me.

I love the soundtrack for the last Agni Kai because it's not epic, it's tragic. Most shows would make an epic soundtrack for one of the final battles that were the key for victory, but not ATLA. It shows that Zuko's victory isn't really something to be celebrated (though the characters would not be wrong to do so). It shows that Zuko and Azula's story is a tragedy. They're both just children forced to fight a war that wasn't even theirs, and they weren't even able to fight it together

I won't argue that gluten-free becoming a fad was helpful for finding GF processed food (that's full of salt so I can't eat it anyway), but I wish it could've helped with staples too. finally tracked down the only possible vector for my recent glutening and it was because I fucking bought store-brand peanuts. I know, I know, I should check the 'may contain' on anything no matter what, but in my defense they're fucking peanuts. why would I think they may contain wheat

ok so, i really like The Day The World Broke by @saladmix, and I am so in love with the description of how the bell monsters sound, it gave me such a vivid sound in my brain, so I wanted to try and recreate it!

This first one is what they sound like from a distance (it's just wind chimes and wind sfx)

headphone listeners beware for this next one, but it's how I imagine them when much closer. it's not exactly the effect I wanted (i wanted louder and clearer bells), but i did scour youtube for a WHILE and sat through some incredibly crunchy change bell ringing, so this will have to do.

I really think we need to make it illegal for people to say "the game is too easy" in a videogame review/critique

BUT ANYWAYS LOOK AT MY NEW MERMAID SCALE DICE THO

Okay so, yesterday I've been on my worst DRG mission yet xD

I am a very green-greenbeard (barely over 10 hours playtime), my fav mission type is Liquid Morkite mining (space oil mining, you need to build a system of pipelines leading to each morkite rift, which requires a lot of fun terrain-conquering problem-solving), because building pipelines is addictively fun. So, as a complete idiot, I see a mission with modifiers (this was a decision I would later regret-but not really) and get on it on a public server (meaning any player can join in, which normally doesn't take too much time at all).

The modifiers on that mission? Low oxygen and Cave Leeches (Cave leeches are enemy type that grab you and drain your health to zero unless somebody else saves you, Low Oxygen means precisely what the name implies, and you need to regularly come back to the mining station to refill your oxygen tanks.) Oh, and the Cave Complexity was 3 (which means, as I've intimately learned on that mission, that the map becomes much bigger, and more obstacles will get in your way, this pairs very badly with low oxygen modifier, as your mission objectives are placed further, but you constantly need to route back to be able to breathe)

So, there my lonely Engineer was, with my best boi Bosco (robot-companion while you play solo, he actually does what you ask him to so he is more useful than actual players xD yes but not really but yes), terrified of the amount of lootbug mess I just stepped into, once I logged in and realised what exactly all those modifiers meant.

I was terrified to explore, as it would be extremely easy to get caught by leeches and Bosco can only revive me two times, and this was only the prep step of the actual mission. Very carefully, I was able to find the first morkite well, and then the real issue arose. While, I am really glad I picked Engie for this mission, as his ability to create platforms is extremely useful when building pipelines, he also is one of the classes that doesn't have innate fast mobility options. In the context of a big map and pipeline building this meant that I had to: imagine the route I can build the pipeline to that particular morkite well, figure out how to mold terrain so the pipeline route would be actually possible to build, go out and mold terrain, then immediately route back because I have no oxygen left, rinse repeat, but switch 'terrain mold' to 'pipeline construction'. Very soon the time I spent getting to the construction point and back took most of my oxygen, so I could work like 30 seconds maybe on a pipeline, before heading back, otherwise my dwarf would suffocate. Also, somehow, Nobody would join. I think I spent around 30, maybe a bit more minutes just trying to build the first pipeline. I was terrified of going outside the tried and true routes because of the cave leeches, so I didn't even have any nitra for a resupply when my platform gun ran out of ammo. I started manually digging through the rock to build the second pipeline. I mean, I started digging for 2 seconds at best, then had to run back because of low oxygen, then back to mining for my two limited seconds.

For some reason, I persisted through this, and built two out of three pipelines. Thankfully, the best route I found for the last line went parallel to my first built line for a long time, so that eased the process a little, and the middle morkite well turned out to be closer than the others, so that was a break. I only had the longest pipeline to build, the one where I had to manually dig a tunnel to place, when, THANK GOD, another player joined in. It was a Gunner, he clearly didn't feel nearly as terrified as I was of the cave leech ambushes, was I bravery or stupidity I know not, but he found us nitra, and I was finally able to order a resupply. Things went easier after I figured out that his ziplines took less time to go up the cliff that pipeline surfing, and with my reloaded platform gun things got much easier. Then another player joined in, a scout this time, and it all went pretty smooth after that. The entire mission took me an hour and a half to complete, and for the most of it I was on my own.

Bosco, I will never forget the bond we built on that mission, robot-buddy my dear,

and the joined guys really saved my ass there,

I would never have finished the mission without them. Remember, if you Rock and Stone, you're never alone!
