Doodle corner

I got bored in class so I drew funky men on the margins of the pages.

Order of satisfaction: Xav, max, seth and James

I really like the james eve combo but damn its hard to draw him consistently

I also have some Genshin impact and pinterest sketches but I'll post them tomorrow.

hello! i hope im not bothering you with this ask or anything, but i really love your blog and the thoughts you write, so i wanted to ask if you any other titles you would reccomend that are similar to berserk (not necessarily in terms of setting, but mostly the Vibe) and deal with similar themes (i watched and read devilman!). i would accept anything tbh, be it a book or movie or a series. thanks in advance, hope you have a good week! :)

Thank you very much, and yeah I'd be happy to rec a few other things I like that have some similarities! Some of these similarities are pretty thin lol, but tbf Berserk is pretty unique, at least in terms of media I'm into, and I've seen some good homoerotic movies recently.

Anime/Manga:

Claymore is compared to Berserk fairly regularly, and it's not just for the big swords. There's no griffguts equivalent, but it's got medieval fantasy monster hunting vibes, similar themes wrt human nature (though more shounen, power of love-esque lol), great action scenes and cool monster designs, and a lot of great female characters with interesting relationships, which isn't similar to Berserk but it's a bonus by itself.

I've also seen Vinland Saga compared to Berserk, and again there's no griffguts equivalent, but there's a very Griffith-esque character who has an AU where Griffith became king the old fashioned way vibe, and a central theme is revenge.

An anon a while ago made the point to me that Light from Death Note is similar to Griffith in a few ways, such as wanting to create a kind of ideal world, and being very charismatic and having culty followers who view him as a god.

Books:

tbh I have a bad memory for books I've read, but here are a couple I read specifically because of Berserk similarities:

I read As Meat Loves Salt by Maria McCann because I was told it had griffguts vibes, and it did. Medieval lone wolf is recruited by idealistic blond mercenary who wants to create a utopia, falls in love with him, and gets fucked over. It's very dark, darker in some ways than Berserk, but it was a good read imo. More in depth post on it with warnings here.

Captive Prince by CS Pacat is known for the author having based one of the characters partially on Griffith, and you can tell lol. It's a fun read if you don't mind or are into the tropey sex slave setting, with an engaging gay romance that has surface similarities to griffguts, though the vibe of the relationship was fairly different to me. But like, the political scheming felt like a Golden Age AU to me. It's been a while since I've read it but for warnings there's rape, csa, incest, and sex slavery not portrayed positively but like, used as erotic scene setting if that's a dealbreaker.

TV Shows:

Hannibal! It's got intense homoeroticism, it's got betrayal, it's got an operatic level of intensity, it's fun to dissect analytically, violence revenge and trauma are significant themes, one character tries to escape his life ruining feelings for the other by killing him, and it's just a great time.

Yellowjackets also has strong themes of violence and how it's a temptation, and though I wouldn't compare any of the relationships to griffguts exactly, there's an intense tragic homoerotic friendship that haunts one of the characters decades later.

Xena has a campy overpowered anti hero dressed in black leather wrestling with their inner darkness and in love with a blonde, also a flirty exes kind of relationship with a god (though that's hetero lol). Not really similar tonally and no griffguts equivalent, but it's got some similar themes wrt violence, revenge, human connection saving your soul from darkness, etc, and it's a gr8, fun show.

Black Sails has a kind of love vs revenge thing going on, as well as an attempt to overturn the social order and create a utopian kingdom. In some ways it's similar in tone as well, often pretty dark and violent, but with some very funny moments, and set in a fictionalized historical setting. No griffguts equivalent, but all these shows are extremely gay.

Movies:

Ladyhawke gets a lot of comparisons to Berserk, and may have been one of Miura's inspirations since he cited Rutger Hauer movies. Starcrossed wolf and hawk themed lovers, medieval setting, significant eclipse, it's got the vibes.

Hellraiser is one of Miura's stated inspirations iirc, and I mean yeah lol. It's the godhand as sadomasochists. Idk that there's that much in common in terms of theme, but the aesthetic is there.

Yk what? The Lost Boys. Homoerotic, campy fun, brooding teen is recruited into a gang and has sexual tension with the leader... that should count.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture starts with Spock trying to purge all his emotions after we can only assume breaking up with Kirk, and failing, and it's a parallel to a godlike being learning to love.

Okay hear me out on this one... Sweet Smell of Success is like if there was no Guts and instead the homoeroticism was between Griffith and the King, and it was set in the New York world of 50s gossip columnists, and look, I recently watched and adored this movie and I want to rec it. And hey, it's about doing fucked up shit to feed your ambition and being pretty and charming while you do it.

The Favourite is about a servant seducing and manipulating her way to power in a royal court, kind of an f!Griffith AU without a Guts if you look at it a certain way. But also it's another movie I love and want to rec based on at least one similarity lol.

Uh, Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence is about a dude wanting to fuck a hot charismatic and guilt-ridden blond guy but being too repressed to go for it? Great movie in general. Also Midnight Cowboy is about trauma induced gay repression while we're at it.

And finally, Paul Verhoeven's sci fi trifecta of Robocop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers have virtually nothing in common with Berserk in terms of theme, character, relationships, etc. But the tone feels exactly like the Black Swordsman arc to me lol, to the point where I've always said that the only live action Hollywood adaption of Berserk I'd accept is the one Verhoeven directed in the 90s in an alternate universe. Miura was directly inspired by one of his 80s movies that I've never seen, Flesh and Blood, and yeah, I feel like you can kind of feel the inspiration.

I have other rec lists, as well as things people have recced to me often on the basis of similarities to Berserk/griffguts that I haven't checked out yet, in this tag, so I'd highly recommend browsing through it for more media suggestions. And if anyone wants to jump in with more recs for things that remind you of Berserk in some way, please do!

[aroace-polyshow]

Bsd anon again im gonna be here a few times im having many thoughts- but I think Sin Soukou is so freaking interesting, more interesting than even Soukou or their predecessors that I cant remember the name of (Mori and Fukuzawa) Its just- something about how different they are compared to either, how much that actually affects them, the difference between how they are turning out vs how the previous Soukous turned out, how despite everything, I don't think they ever actually will kill each other. I think its so interesting the change you see with the two, the affect they have on each other compared to the others-- its just so,, interesting- Also, question of the day. Do you think its good that Dazai changed from his Port Mafia ways? With the way he treats Atsushi vs Akutagawa specifically? Do you think there's similarity between the way he treats the two at all? I often find myself thinking about how despite Dazai being better as a person, and trying his hardest to not be a bad mentor, he still ends up giving bad ideals (Thats not the right word but I cant remember the word) to Atsushi. After an attack his slapped Atsushi and told him not to pity himself, despite the fact that he had just been shown some of his worst memories and accidently hurt people he saw as friends, some of the first friends in years. Its not punching him right in the face because he cant put up a shield, no where near that, but its still not a good thing to do. I can accept that Dazai has changed a lot since the port mafia but I think he still has a very long way to go, especially when it comes to being a mentor to both Atsushi and Akutagawa, even tho he seems to messing up a lot less w Atsushi thanhe did w Akutagawa But tbf the only reason I'm thinking about this is cause its always bothered me how Dazais treated Atsushis trauma as more of a,, annoyance than anything?? Like,, idk I'm rambling at its five am lmfao I should stop before I start going off on tangents

MY FUCKING LAPTOP SHUT DOWN AGAIN WHEN I HAD ALREADY WRITTEN SO MUCH GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

anyway hello again bsd anon :DDD

about shin soukoku, tbh i really like their dynamic a lot more than soukoku or mori and fukuzawa. not to say i don't like soukoku, if you couldn't tell by what i reblog so often i definitely like them (the same cannot rlly be said about mori and fukuzawa but that's another thing lol), but i really enjoy the sskk dynamic :D they have such cool effects on each other as people and they work so well together in fighting and like i mentioned i think their conflicting views of dazai is also rlly intersting and like hrgahgdhfkjs i like them a lot kjdfsj

then to answer your question, i do think it's good that dazai left the mafia, and i do think he's trying to be better. and he's definetely a lot better than he was in the mafia. i do think he's trying to be a better mentor. but like you said, he still isn't the best at it with atsushi. he's definetely doing a lot better with atsushi than he was with akutagawa, but yeah i do think he fucked up with that slap. atsushi's, yknow traumatized from when he rlly young and he literally just hurt people he cared about who also literally wouldn't fight back. like?? idk man i think there's many much better ways to deal with atsushi spiraling??? my dude??? though i guess dazai wouldn't have experience with it lmao

i get what you mean by it kinda feeling like dazai was treating atsushi's trauma as an annoyance. didn't really like it either. to be fair dazai didn't exactly have like. a good example what to actually do. sdkhfj,,,

he is definitely a better person now though. good for him lol

Facial wax removes hair from the root too, and it might be faster than tweezers if you are removing all of a patch of hair

yeah, my sister suggested that too, but now ive got myself into a conundrum where in i got birth control w estrogen (which is what i wanted, like, two weeks ago during my ocd episode where i wasn't thinking clearly) and i have to start taking it sunday. and i just realized once out of my panic that there are methods Other Than Shaving that will give the same effect (less obvious stubble/it growing in slower) without fucking with my hormones. but i can't exactly just back out of it before even taking it, and i don't really think i should (so i at least can know how it affects me), but the idea of "woe, estrogen be upon ye" is only hitting now that im not in my ocd episode where i think the world is ending because i have five o' clock shadow if i shave after a day. not even full on five o' clock shadow, but patchy shit. that's what got me into this whole mess. blind panic and fixation on something relatively minor that's apparently something not super noticeable to anyone other than me, as literally no one irl has ever brought it up!!

and the nurse at the clinic told me to get spiro, which 100% isn't happening, lol, but i also don't want to tell them "oh, i don't want to take the birth control once the supply is up because it gave me [side effect" (even if true) because then they might just try and change it to a different birth control. and since they think i have pcos (which i agree), they said anything they'd offer would probably have estrogen in it. and idk if it would be awkward if, like, at the followup in april, i suddenly tell them "aaaactually, i no longer care about the hirsutism, despite that being the only reason i wanted birth control".

the fact that they pushed spiro at all (they told me i could go to another clinic to get it) made me even more freaked once reality set it because it's an androgen blocker. i get anxious enough over the idea of estrogen by itself, let alone estrogen and something to block testosterone. literal actual irl fucking reverse hrt. dysphoric nightmare scenario. i know they weren't being malicious or trying to make me freaked, since tbf i did come in and say the facial hair bothered me and they think im cis, but just the whole "yeah, you could go get spiro, too, it might make the estrogen part work better :)" right off the bat made me ahhhhhhk. and i went "heheh, okayyyy" but that's absolutely not going to happen. that's the one thing my stepmom thinks is reasonable, because i gave a little song and dance about how i don't want to be on multiple prescriptions at twenty. which is probably shitty towards people my age that are or have to be on meds, but i had no clue what else to say to get her off my back. but then she said if the birth control doesn't work i should just switch and not go off...so it's sort of awkward. but i don't think my dad cares if im on it or not. once i explained i will not die from pcos (at least not, like, immediately or any time soon), he seemed to chill the fuck out and just told me "yeah, your mom had sideburns too, she used jolen" and surprisingly wasn't making overly direct and rude comments like usual.

it's an unpleasant situation. but if i have negative side effects, ill just try to go off...but then again, they might just try and get me to switch prescriptions if that happens, even if i can "fix" (or at least deal with) the chief complaint i had.

[tkclips]

Participate in local activism, babe, there are real bad people that do shit way worse than screwing their adoptive siblings and they do need to be put on all sorts of lists (although im kinda scared you might actually go off on a self-righteous murder spree, since you seem to think that what people aren’t bothered by in fiction, they support in real life. I mean you are so upset about incest, but say nothing against Five killing innocent folks? Kinda sus idk. Wish you happiness tho <3 2/2

Honestly at this point if I’m gonna get shit like this I’ll make a series titled “ actual real life people “ let’s start this shit off and have a bondingexperience together. Bro who tf are you and who hurt you☠️ Everyone just read this shit oh wow oh fucking boy am I in for a treat😭. Seems like Mr.Moral man came into my mentions to pay me a visit. The thing about this fandom it’s mostly about who can whine the loudest. Everyday there’s someone on the internet out there with such a shitty mindset that takes the time out of their day to just spew out the most cringiest shit I have ever read. And this just goes without saying, parents need to take their kids phones away from them☠️. The two entire post has honestly given me an aneurism trying to understand wtf your trying to say honestly did u have a fucking concussion mid sentence☠️.

What I’ve gathered from this bs is that your an overall wearing hillbilly trailer park trash☠️ You defend incest to the point that if someone calls someone’s asses out on it but oh woahwoahwoahwoahwoah no that’s too far that’s a line crossed ☠️. People like you are exactly why we have to tell young children not to talk to strangers. I really gotta emphasizes here please seek some type of help any type like spiritually, mentally, physically because if your shaking in your house worried I’m gonna murder a bunch of bitches then I’m worried about you going to any sort of park or school ☠️

If your not bothered by it in fiction then I have smth to tell you😬. And I get it I’ll get a bit preachy sometimes that’s a fair criticism but you know what you are basically god right, I should just delete my account because you clearly know whats right and wrong in the world😭 I want to meet your parents and tell them everything’s gonna be ok even tho they know damn fucking well it’s not☠️

“ Puritan jazz” “ babe” “ self rightous murder spee” “ kinda sus idk” damn bro where tf where you on “ Roast Me” Season 4☠️ This is a real human being what a fucking legend tbh😎If you guys are upset about anything else’s you guys should probably tell me ☠️

Blah bla blah, but tbf it’ll be wrong for me to assume people like you are complete dumbasses right bc you seem genuinely upset about something. What’s up what going on, your parents having a divorce, you having depressing thoughts? Contact me off of anon at 605-474-6973 and we can talk about it. And I don’t mean to be mean but I hope you have a horrible fucking day I wish you self hatred <3

[kuuderepunkin]

Ily ok I'm gonna ask for a usual match up even though I'm a 🤡 and we all know who I STAN, also through submissions bc a girl can't keep it to 500 characters apparently, ok anyway im autistic so I'm pretty quiet and not too good with people, I get super anxious in busy situations and new people, but once I get to know you I'm quite full-on, I'm quite sarcastic and a bit witty? I think I'm pretty smart tbf, some things people have said they like about me is that I'm very cultured, I stand up for what I believe in, I'm loyal and extremely selfless, I'm super self conscious but I'm also the type that's not going to change for anyone? If that makes sense? Some things I enjoy are music, cooking, anime, writing, memes and walks 😊 ok basically how you wrote my for my birthday thing (which was amazing btw omg) is pretty much exactly how I am lol for some physical things, I'm 5'4, like boob-length brown wavy hair, I'm not thin but Idk if I'd call myself chubby realistically? (my friend said I'm curvy so let's go with that) and I have a very minimal style (that's in general too, I don't like owning too many things that I know I won't use)

Ok I hope this was alright! Thank you! Also take your time there's no rush 🥰🥰🥰🥰 you're an ANGEL 

MMMM YES YES GOOD GOOD okay so I hope these are okay because you’re a sweetie and I feel like it’s hard for me to express just how much these boys may love you, since I’m kinda not well verse on romance. But you’re a cutie, and they LOVE the HECK out of you. No doubt, who wouldn’t, even as a friend. 

Haikyuu matchup: Sugawara Koushi

Honestly it was so hard to not just give you one of your stans, because I’m hardcore for “anyone can be in love, because love knows no bounds!” And I can see you with Tsuki for some of your characteristics, but I already wrote some Tsukishima x you stuff (but I’ll include some more down below ;) ). So I tried to pair you with someone I think you’d be a good fit with, but also someone unique. So I was trying to think of someone who would really compliment your interests, and so I went for Sugawara! I may be imprinting because I love his character so much, like how he’s an angel but also play with the minds of the other volleyball teams. The way they’re intimidated by him is MWAH, he’s sly and cunning despite being a huge teddy bear. He’s one of my faves and I know he’d treat you well <3 <3 <3

·         Suga is like the best friend you could ever ask for; he’s so sweet, caring, and attentive. Soft boy is always there being the mom friend.

·         When you need help communicating he will do his best to make it an easy situation. If you need him he’ll just be your voice, but if you just need him to be around for comfort he’s happy to see you try and talk in a situation you may usually be too shy to do on your own.

·         He is drawn to you because of your culture and smarts, since you don’t stand out in a crowd based on your description of a minimal style I assume he see’s your name somewhere on tested post scores or! OR Maybe you’re in the cultural club in college? Just a random thought I’m sorry.

·         You don’t have to be good with people to get along with him, he’s easy going and can usually read a person and knows what you mean even if you say the wrong set of words.

·         Always knows what to say when you get anxious, he knows if it’s okay to touch you or if that will make you panic more. If you’re upset and you’re not too panicked he will rub your back and talk to you, trying to help you ground yourself. Reminding you to try and recognize your surrounds as a tactic to pull you out of any anxiety attack.

·         “Chloe, take a deep breath I’m right here. I won’t leave your side unless you need me to grab you something. Try listing 5 things around you that you can see.” I sometimes use this tactic when I’m having a panic attack, but most of the time I forget about it. Luckily Suga knows this and is always around to help you out.

·         Once you start coming out of your shell he’s so happy to get to know the “real” you, your sarcasm, your interests, and your selfless nature- he’s happy to see you open up.

·         He too is quiet and witty, but that’s more so because he likes to listen more than he likes to talk, when it comes to dishing out the roasts. So he’s supportive of you whenever you decide to be sassy, agreeing with you and slyly remarking about how correct you are, complimenting how well you read people.

·         Suga stands by what he believes, too, which one of those things is happens to be you <3

·         He’s patient so he’s not going to jump straight into physical affection, not wanting to make you uncomfortable and willing to respect your boundaries. And once you’re ready for him to be more affectionate he goes slowly, testing the water.

·         He enjoys when you share your writing with him, he’s a smart boy and would try his best to enjoy the same activities as you. But if you’re too embarrassed to share your writing he won’t force it, it’s very intimate so he understands any hesitation you have.

·         Sugawara loves to give you hugs, you’re the perfect height for him to come up beside you and hug you from behind and rest his face in your hair.

NOW TSUKISHIMA Because my brain really was like “but they stan him how can you not include him?” *eye emoji*

·         Unlike Suga, he’s only slightly helpful when interacting with others, I feel like he doesn’t find it necessary to be involved in all conversations- if you’re too nervous to approach someone it may not be worth the conversation in the first place. That being said, if it’s because it’s a very important interaction and you’re nervous because of the gravity of it he will help by either intervening or saying what needs to be said, or he will stand by your side and nod as you make conversation. (What I mean is maybe it’s a group project and you don’t know your partner and he needs be there to help you not panic.)

·         He’s pretty withdrawn himself so if he doesn’t have to get involved in social situations he won’t because most people seem to frustrate him.

·         Tsuki is the king of sass so when you’re being witty and sarcastic he’s by your side smirking and making snide comments of his own. And the same can be said when you’re standing up for someone you believe in, even if he doesn’t have the same passion he’s there to support you by providing some smug comments.

·         Style doesn’t mean very much to him, so your minimalist style won’t bother him, but I don’t think he’d point it out either way. He’s more interested in complementing you on your personality and interests rather than how you dress or decorate.

·         He shares your love for music, so feel free to send him some song recommendations; he will do the same for you. This little nerd may act like he’s not interested in your music but if he ever needs to be reminded of you he has the songs saved because you told him about them and so now he associates you with those songs.

·         This tall dinosaur will just rest his arm on your shoulder the moment you get used to his touch; he’ll pull you close because “it’s cold outside.”

·         He will just try to avoid getting into situations that make you anxious, because he knows he’s not always the best with reassuring words. But you know he cares because he tries, despite being uncomfortable seeing you so upset and not being able to stop it.

·         Kei will sadly tease you about your taste in anime on occasion, because even the best anime can have some stupidity or plot holes in them. But that just proves he pays attention to your interests, because if he didn’t know anything he wouldn’t make these comments.

·         When you send him memes, depending on how he’s feeling you may leave you on read because it was a) ridiculous what does that even mean? Or b) send you a meme that is twice as absurd. He’s a bit meme critical because those really abstract ones are “a waste of time,” and that they don’t have a point.

·         But if you use memes to communicate your feelings of like, love maybe, he’s going to just reply normally, because he doesn’t want to give you the satisfaction of making him sappy.

·         But if you’re ever apart and he can see you’re feeling down he’ll send a wholesome meme to try and make you smile.

@thaliatimsh​ - im so sorry!!!! a vague ‘riffing off of (tm)’ what i was saying? (trying to say) last night  - but Mostly// word splurge everywhere :/ - unsure if theres either a/t Clear or!! tbfh a/t of worth here, but yk :T :S !

thaliatimsh said: I thiNK you are RIGHT re: distance n i wonder. … why. Considering distance in gibson bein murdererererd scene… tins of mystery… (like a week previous MAX). I wonder. Why. Im not very good at bein clear anyway im. Fffff.

=> fgksdhfg, idk if youve had the same thought w this as i have, or mabs,, its lead to/from the same thought but like. Hickey’s plan was always probs gonna end/hinge a lil on cannibalism? [‘Lads Gotta Eat! People Made O’ Meat!’; Hickey’s Personal Sledge Hauling Song, 1847.] Ofc they all already know tht the cans are making them Weak & WEird™ .

so im Not getting confused!!! Just #FAx: at some point theyre gonna run out of food With Them, so Options~: 1) take tins proffered by crozier, 2) somehow they manage to find game! 3) boys were made for eating

So assuming tht no ones gonna keel over anytime soon, theyre deffo gonna have to kill /Someone/

Once gibson ‘runs out’ [[ :(( ]], they gotta go back to tins, or they gotta get another Body p much. ppl who CAnt be ate!: Hickey (ofc), Diggle (For Now/, until Armitage gets his HACCP qualifications), Goodsir (butchers are hard to train up, lads might get queezy chopping up their M8s)

Gkdsfhgk, distance as a food preparation method, a book by cornelius (EC) hickey !! - is what im TRYINBG to get to as my point !!! jfc, idek

but idk if thats rly necessarily a v strong (or tbf, Accurate) Take yk? i gotta think it over, & leave this pot boiling someplace else temporarily or smth

=====================

[[i think,, what i meant w/ Deliberateness, as much as i like. ½ tried to articulate it there last night (& now having read over a lil of tht, have v little clue WHat Exactly i was trying to be saying there tbfh), is that Of Fckn Course// hickey is deliberately setting him Apart “DELIBERATE isolation of hodgson during that scene (plate, cutlery, separate space, different /meat/)” like u said!! But i think up Til tht point, its one of those weird cases where its not being Enforced~ as such? [tht might just be my own reading tho? Which are.. while Not ~Notoriously Off-Base? But often taking the ‘’wrong part’’ of a thing as the important element, or just straight up Confused, rip lmao]

Like /Like/. The Hodgester™ has just turned up into a place already filled w dudes who are all a lil asshole-ish & starving! - & enough of them are running from a hierarchy issue, rather than a deep abiding love for EC, i suppose? Uhm - && they all wanna Be There (for want of a better descrip/). So, i was ½ at it thinking(?) abt if it was mayhaps (originally) one of those things where u accidentally(?) isolate yrself from the rest of the group bc u dont wanna bother/intrude/dont feel welcome [The Sk00l Feelingz] & thru that slight gap you end up falling thru the cracks as twere & /Actually/ becoming Set Apart. 

&& like. Idk, on #mutineers side; hes just turned up! Hes Hierarchy!! & yk still,,, Officers/Men Divide~ the line drawn in the 6ft X 4ft ice-cave separating the messdeck & the wardroom ! which despite no longer /Rly/ being in place now, or honestly nearly as much as gone post-walkOut, has gotta be subconsciously embedded ? dunno [tbfh, im word vomiting rly Badly// now - i think u were & Are!! Right abt it, & yr fic Felt Right// abt it!! Which means it may as well be True & Canon & Real, etc: Often Always thinking abt the different ways of saying lieutenant, oof :( ] ]]

maybe what i mean is like; I'm Not Sure! (personally :S ) if it started out Accidentally, Deliberate Banal, or Deliberate Malicious, yk??

&& Whether its been a gradual progression, or happened much more Starkly when they decided to captainnap crozier, or spatchcock chicken gibson & other stuff? dunno

((i gotta [REally Gotta//] rewatch the last couple of eps, so i get the planning/timing etc right in my head? bc idr if the plan to marry tuunbaq was ‘hatched’ pre or post captainnapping, or if they were related At All -> do feel like the hermitage i mentioned going on has gotta be extended just so tht i can think things into #clarity, as well as actually watch the show again before making up shit, lmao)) 

--- thinking abt: 

possibly hodgester’s confession & inability to kill hickey in contrast w fitzy’s confession & offering up of his body? but idk what that IS or MEANS, or if its even THERE [yr talk of him as,, ‘the average mans james fitzjames’ is,, im Lov,, Truly Banger & Deeply Upsetting :( ]

smth poss to be said abt how Much// of what george says/dialogue is abt food & his big monologue is abt cannibalism & transubstantiation yk? Idk [hodgester, location: North Artic Circle, likes: etymology, religious guilt, languages, musical instruments, food & learning abt how its prepared :(( ] other than, yk, Mood, Big Same There Lads

"an extreme version of Americans" ok now im terrified lol. evangelicals are the ones that think the modern state of israel is vital to the end times or something right? and creationism and whatnot? but tbf american catholics are their own thing too. when i think of american christianity i think megachurches, creationism, and war in the middle east. and i think that started post-ww2 and escalated from the 60s - peaking with w bush and 9/11 wars? i know they lost the 'culture war' pretty soundly.

Yeah you're exactly right. If you try to argue with evangelicals about war in the middle east/the state of Israel they will straight up tell you that they support it because of how it benefits America, they won't even try to make it some kind of objective good thing. They don't even bother to defend America as a whole, their brain stops working when they encounter someone who questions it. They think progressives or antiwar liberals are just not supporting America correctly & because of how homogenous American political opinions are they never hear anyone criticizing it as a state

The hunger games that is now all of you look under your seat and you'll find a random weapon--" -I don't like the new Ubisoft Logo it looks like someone split it in half in PS and then tried to put it back but it didn't line up exactly right and then were like ‘well it’s probably fine’ Mario x Rabbids: Kingdom Battle -WELP ITS REAL Y’ALL OWE LAURA KATE DALE AN APOLOGY -I CANT IMAGINE A WORSE MASCOT TO TEAM NINTENDO UP WITH OUTSIDE OF POSSIBLY THE MINIONS LMAO -OH GOD THE COINBOX VORED HIM -stfu Yves you've never ever wondered that -FUCK YALL WHY ARE YOU APPLAUDING FOR THIS LITERALLY NOBODY ASKED FOR THIS -MIYAMOTO holy shit -see the reason they all have guns now is bc they killed Samus McMetroid and ate her corpse to absorb her power -BILL LMAO -God I fundamentally dislike this but god I can't dislike Miyamoto for it im trash -....oh my god that awkward silence -"Representative Director, Creative Fellow" -well it sure is a Mario game that's never been made I guess -THREE YEARS?????? -'tactical adventure', Switch exclusive -I gotta say the art direction is honestly really strong -Peach is gonna murder that fucker lmao -turn-based strategy -FUCKING CHEST HIGH WALLS IN MARIO I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS -Okay but this is MARIO XCOM which... that's interesting tbh -LIke... idk the rabbids tie in is....bad but mechanically it looks sound? IDK -Figurines?  Not amiibo then? hmm AssCreed: Origins -if they were smart they'd use Roundabout for the soundtrack on the trailer just sayin' -jeez has it REALLY been 10 years -so if they're going to the origins of the lore are they eventually gonna bring the Future Past Space Gods back cuz that shit was actually interesting -a nice trailer tho tbf ubi has been good at making trailers for a while -"hey here's a teaser of gameplay on a off-angle monitor that's way darkened lmao" -GOD I didn't even think about it but the eagle is literally just the carry-over of the drone bullshit they've had in half their games over the last couple years -LIKE UBI REALLY HAS JUST GOTTEN THEIR ONE GAME FORMULA EVEN CLOSER TO A SCIENCE LMAO The Crew 2 -WHO IS THIS WEIRD FUCKER -Inception: The Tie-In Racer?!?!?!!? -...what exactly *is* this -so is there like a weird narrative now or..... -Ubisoft stop you don't know what Iconic means -oh because you don't drive planes, boats or bikes right -IDK Formula 1 racing is pretty intense -"excuse me my car is stalled or something i can't get out of this donut" South Park: The Fractured But Whole -well Fuck South Park but it looks like they at least added the option to play as a girl so enjoy that i guess Transferance -ELIJAH WOOD?!?!?!?!?!?! -?????????????? -IS THIS SOME FUCKIN FMV SHIT?????? -That's.... actually kind of cool -OH GOD THIS IS MY SHIT THO Skull & Bones -"something really, really unique that happens to use the money saving baseline of our established Pirate Sea Battle Engine from AssCreed" -Anne Bonney? -OH DAMN THAT PIRATE CAPTAIN LADY IS FUCKIN SICK -...hmmm -hmm so it's a deeper take on the pirate mechanics of AssCreed 3 and 4 then -"shared systemic world" mmmn - so it sounds like a more simulation-oriented version of what Sea of Thieves is going for - god I hope this isn't a full-on multiplayer thing -aww so is boarding purely a numbers thing that sucks -"the world of skull and bones is one that evolves" doubt.jpg -.............WAIT WHAT -okay sea monsters makes that a little more interesting Just Dance 2018 -YEA OBLIGATORY UBISOFT DANCE NUMBER -Man sub-zero's new costume is a little weird -welp Ubi takes E3 I guess -I like how they don't even bother to really *talk* about these games anymore it's literally just now "hey new one's out" South Park: Phone Destroyer -....k -it's literally just the turn-based system from the other ones transferred to mobile Starlink: Battle for Atlas -"Atlas.  Jewel of the Pleiades" oh yea sure -Let me guess was it an evil scary alien race yup -Oh that art direction is pretty cool -*switch controller* ...wait WHAT -WHAT IS THIS -Modular toys-to-life? ...Interesting -Like i mean you missed the boat on the fad by literally a couple years there but hey -huh so it looks like it's designed to work with *all consoles* not just the switch hmm -like honestly that might not be a bad strategy of building the toys-to-life gimmick around a game that's 'friendlier' to older collector types -"I grew up in the 80s" OH GOD  -"massive open living star-system" *jefferson voice: uh huh* -Oh okay so you can get the same content digitally you don't have to track down specific toys necessarily so... that's something actually. the price point is key though Steep update -wow that's kinda nuts they've gone a whole year without an expansion tbh -so it's an Olympic update?  makes sense actually Farcry 5 -I'm way less interested now that some plot details have been revealed that really makes it easy to "other" the White Nationalist Religious Cult tbh -still there's some value in its intent i suppose even if it's largely courting controversy for attention -"a place where people don't even lock their front door" oh god -OKAY GRACE ARMSTRONG IS GREAT I ALREADY LIKE HER -YEA tactical doggo -I can appreciate the response to all the whining from Not-Racists,Honest types complaining about """racism""" being a montage comprised entirely of murdering white nationalists :) Beyond Good and Evil 2 -Did Guy Ritchie direct this????? -YOOOOO SHES COOL -What is this if the game plays anything like it looks im down -I'm super curious about thie strong south asian influenced aesthetic -FAITH?!?!?! -....WHAT -WHAT -NO WAY -I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS IS REAL -Michel Ancel finally released from the UbiSalt Mines -DAMN FUCKIN RIGHT -I CANT BELIEVE THIS CHRIST -Prequel (oh so it's literally the explanation of why there are anthro characters in BG&E1) -HEY LOOK SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS WHAT CYBERPUNK IS ACTUALLY ABOUT :)))))) -Okay honestly this sounds like Infinite Space IM DIGGING IT -Online multiplayer -....huh -yea I would fully expect It's Gotta Have Multiplayer would have been the One Condition Ubisoft would have attached to allow this to exist
