okay i have a lot of thoughts about the slow burn of information throughout this series, and how i imagine it affects its initial perception/overall reputation

there are so many instances of characters being revealed as having a lot more knowledge and agency than we’ve been initially led to expect, and it works EVERY TIME. of course this happens in most stories, but here it just feels so strategic and well-paced. this author is very skilled at mentioning things exactly where they are most effectively revealed, and no sooner. you’re supposed to start out horrified, and wondering how this society can exist and why nobody is doing anything and how anything good—surely not a love story—could possibly come of it. because the pov is so limited to damen, you feel like he’s alone in his suffering, and it’s so brutal and excessive that you’re like, “oh, this can’t be that deep, we’re just reading about a guy having a really bad time and there’s no real reason for it besides the problematic gimmick that neither author nor audience actually wants to address.” but then you realize slowly over the course of the series that many people are deeply disturbed by the way things are, most of all laurent, who we initially see as like, fucking awful!!! who thinks HE’s alone in his suffering too, until he learns that he isn’t!!! and don’t get me wrong laurent is awful, he might have gotten some therapy before the epilogue but he’s still an evil mastermind for fun, but the way he really grows as a character both with passive and active development is incredible. like damen we start seeing this world as a more complete picture in books 2&3, and the lens through which most of this is seen IS laurent. and we realize that there is really so much to it. this shit is real and serious and dark, the author knows that. it’s not just about the horny gimmick, it’s a deconstruction of the associated tropes themselves. it’s such an interesting and gratifying way to work with the premise that doesn’t minimize the very visceral brutality of book 1 but also reveals more depth and strong views than could be originally assumed. i’m sure it’s an uphill battle for this author to be understood, and i cannot even begin to imagine the discourse, but as someone happy to read mindfully and analyze i am over the moon.

logically i know that the mf stands for mafiafell but there's always a little voice in the back of my mind that says "the motherfucking brothers" like a citizen of snowdin who has had to deal with one two many of their shenanigans

SAME I cant remember which post it's on, but one time I was tagging something and typed 'mf boss' and then started typing 'motherfucker boss...' only to have tumblr auto suggest the tag, meaning I'd used it before and I then proceeded to laugh about it in the tags and irl for like five minutes. It's not wrong though.

The abbreviation of just "100 feet" is amusing to me, because when somebody asks about the 100 feet turtles, I'm now just picturing like, a kaiju-sized donnie.

LOL beautiful. I started going with 100ft because 100 feet makes me think of centipedes but you’re right it does have a very kaiju feel

ROUND TWO

NOCTIS LUCIS CAELUM from FINAL FANTASY XV vs ESTELLE BRIGHT from TRAILS IN THE SKY

PROPAGANDA:

NOCTIS - "Fishing is the only thing this emo prince gets excited about." "FFXV is basically a fishing game with an rpg strapped to it. noctis literally levels up and gets exp by fishing at different spots on the map. he loves fishing, and would sit there for days if he didnt have other things to do." "Suggests changing his name to Noct Gar at one point. Catches a fish bigger than he is in one quest." "His relationship with fishing is more fleshed out than his relationship with his wife."

ESTELLE - "Estelle can compete in fishing duels with various NPCs to become head of the Fishermen's Guild. she enjoys it a lot and is very good at it, and her affection for fishing is remarked on as part of her personality. assuming you do all the fishing sidequests, Estelle ends up with the title of Legendary Angler, the greatest fisherman in the country of Liberl. (plus she's just a fantastic protagonist in general.)"

also marble hornets fun fact #92 like it's fun that for once the neurotypical agenda accidentally got a win: when in that s1 "interview" episode apparently there was no particular plan to have tim be a recurring character before a strong audience response of speculation that there must be something more going on with this guy because his fidgeting with a notebook all throughout the video was indication of Liar's Anxiety or whatever; in reality tim sutton was not making any acting choice (to serve then-nonexistent writing) but was spontaneously being someone often fidgeting with paper. then call that unfolding developments

in my fic i've officially decided to make wyatt the campground host and i just. can't stop thinking abt it. he'd be so eager and enthusiastic!! it's the perfect job for him. he'd wear his park ranger uniform shirt everywhere, unbuttoned or layered over hoodies and under sweaters. his favorite part of the job would be getting kids involved with nature, seeing the wonder in their eyes as they explore the forest and observe the wildlife. at the same time, though, he'd work to protect his pack's territory, keep campers away from the borders. ensure everything sacred is kept safe.
