“And now you want a rematch?”

“Well, obviously. I’m not losing to a guy with a mullet.”

“Come up with better insults and I’ll think about it.”

when adam met 11yo keith he immediately knew that keith was gay and was like i have GOT to support this kid!! (runs into traffic) meanwhile shiro spent years operating under the assumption that keith had like a gender thing going on

Honestly? Good anime imo! I really enjoyed Aileen. I enjoyed Claude. I enjoyed Isaac and Keith and Rachel and Almond and Ribbon. I enjoyed Belzebuth and the flock of ducks (Walt/Kyle/Auguste) and Jasper.

[pidges-lost-robot]

I think Hunk and Keith love to just stand there as Lance and Pidge fucking roast the everloving shit out of each other and wonder whether people can just be nice and get along instead

(They are both hypocrites)

i think all the time that before maximillion pegasus became seto kaiba's enemy he had to be his hero. duel monsters literally saved seto and mokie's lives it was the only thing keeping them going and seto has to read everything about the game and its creator and you know right up until he met pegasus he was singing his praises as a creator and then he gets to meet him!! seto kaiba achieves everything he tosses gozaburo out a window he takes over his company changes weapon manufacturing to creating joy for children and is on his way to meet the creator of duel monsters the man that changed his life and he's the worst, sleaziest, most annoying villain seto has ever seen. the way admiration must nose dive into disgust and hatred. the shattered pedestals. the way pegasus absolutely manages to turn seto's love of duel monsters to pure frustration. he deserves to throttle the old man.

[randomnameless]

what do you of people who think that pointing out how problematic claude and almyra are in the fodlan games is racist?

?

You mean people who think you are racist for noticing that Claude and Almyra in general were written with the worst orientalist clichés from the early 1810s?

As a rule of thumb, I don't believe you can determine if someone is racist or not based on their opinion of fictional characters -

That being said, there's a difference between saying "I think Devdan sucks" and whatever goes down in the chamber pot, using real world rhetoric about "invasive species" and whatnot to throw shade at fictional characters you don't like.

@gascon-en-exil made a Tellius video about Devdan's uh... well, Devdan in general in Tellius and the wtf that was Devdan in a game released in the 2000s, internationally released at that - and fwiw, some youtube comments talked about minstrel shows and how Devdan reminded them of those shows so, I definitely think pointing Devdan's entire existence - down to his concept - isn't racist in itself, you're not committing robbery when you're trying to prevent one.

About Claude and Almyra in general as depicted in Fodlan...

Well, in FE16 the game basically told us that Almyrans - in the Cyril/Hilda paralogue - are people who enjoy senseless bloodbathes (they raid the border for funsies and feast and party if they're able to return home ffs!) and while they might have different values (which is not a bad thing in itself!), they are the kind of people to turn tail and flee even if it means leaving their allies die (what Claude expected Hilda to do in CF!) or their civilian randoms (Cyril was caught by Goneril forces when they raided their camp).

You can't fight anymore when you're dead, so running away isn't always the worst solution, and yet, the way it's depicted (in CF for tears, in VW to shit on Nader) in the game, it's not supposed to be something we see as good/nice/has relevance.

In Nopes Shahid mounts the greastest invasion the Locket has ever known... to show his dad that he has muhrit too and can attack the "cowards" so plz stop mopping about the son who left without writing a letter.

Aka, Almyra sends its troops to invade Fodlan... in a penis measuring contest for the throne.

Yeah.

However, everything falls apart when we play GW's second part.

Now Nader wants to bring "souvenirs" from the war, by - and it's Lorenz who tells us ffs, not Claude, but Lorenz which has all sorts of implications - pillaging the cities they will be conquering.

Claude asks his dad to give him the Almyran Navy - and by ask I mean Nader has him sign the paper while he's half asleep, a bit like what your random kid does when school asks for a parent's written authorisation, you hang the damn paper to your parent while they're doing something else so they sign without really thinking - for his personal fight in Fodlan that consists in...

Killing the CoS? Yes, but also, and more importantly, to get rid of Fodlan's "outdated" values basically by tearing apart the country/its borders.

In a nutshell, in Nopes, FE16!Hilda's racist stereotypes about Almyrans and Almyra are... confirmed.

To sum up, canonwise, Fodlan depicts Almyrans as people who love needless bloodbathes, who prey on the country they're agressing "for fun!" when it's at its lowest point to mount a serious and real invasion to 1/score points in the royal inheritence record, or 2/to effectively bring disorder/kill/remove important pillars of that country because they want to change its "values and traditions" while pillaging and massacring the land as they cross it.

My bad, it's not the 1800s rhetoric about "the orient" it's both this, and a side dose of throwing the worst tropes ever like "invading people to bring them civilisa- i mean, a new set of values".

In a way, Fodlan is worse than Tellius in that regard, because while Devdan is, hopefully, a side character you can forget to recruit, Almyra - through Claude - is a compulsory point to play through when you play the Fodlan games.

Like, the devs - graphic devs at least - really researched and designed outfits, not only based on RL cultures, but to give a distinct flair to Almyra (when they couldn't be assed to do the same for the "mainland fodlan" characters), like Claude's outfits always have a detail (at least one when it's not the barbarossa class!) to tell you that this class/character has ties to this other place, Almyra!

Surely you'd want to know what Almyra is about, right?

:')

And then you learn and wonder, Echoes didn't bother to draw specific outfits reminding the player of RL cultures gor Grieth or the Brigand Boss, so what was Fodlan thinking when they gave those outfits to Claude and Nader? What kind of associations are you supposed to make?

Are we back in the "Kaga said the land of bandits who kidnap to most likely seduce without consent ladies was inspired by Persia? What the actual fuck?" era?

In a way, depicting Almyrans as the "bloodthirsty people who pillage as they go" is, imo, as offensive as Martin's Dothrakis, I don't think you are, or anyone is, racist for pointing it out.

I still can't stop thinking about Keith being obsessed with Maeve when she's the fictional character and he's the player of her game.

He wouldn't even have time for other suitors, there's only Mae in his (their) mind 😭

[quibbs126]

So I started playing a bit of the Decepticons game (I got it yesterday, apparently it was only like $8)

I am god awful at driving in this game, I can’t even keep a straight line. Those other drivers have to assume I am wasted as hell while seeing this

I’m also only like, 10 minutes into the game (and I have to stop because I’ve got class), but I’m getting the understanding that I am Starscream’s little guy. Hell yeah

[melien]

me: just started electromagnets

also me: I have a save for mirene and co, I have a save for keith... the only logical sequence would be to also do a story for tobias/galactic crusade

[klanced]

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 :)

Game Grumps Live was a friggin' blast

[keithal]

i was tagged by @enterprisery (hi babe!) to share the last line i wrote and tag as many people as there are words :D

i think nearly all the writers i know have already been tagged in this, and i've been looking for an excuse to post a snippet of the fic robin and i have been obsessing over, so ty for the tag beloved but i will not be following a single rule <3

Daniel grew up the son of a mechanic in Watertown. His dad owned a shop next to a track. He didn’t take Daniel much—on account of his old man being a mean, deadbeat drunk—but on the days that he was sober, his favorite thing to do was take Daniel out back and have him listen to the races. Listen to the cars, the engines. Once Daniel hit 12-years-old, he got good. Real fucking good. By 15, he could tell who had won the race without even seeing it. At 18, Daniel wanted nothing as badly as he wanted to be a NASCAR racer. “Can already tell, man,” Daniel said. “358 CI, four-barrel carb, 720 horsepower, 8500 rpm. Fucking beast. There’s no way it’s not gonna smoke everyone else on that track.” “Huh,” the man said. He gave Daniel an appraising look. “What's a kid like you doing selling burgers?”

i'm tagging @keepoffthetardis, @moondal514, @youthbleeding, @weather-mood, and anyone else who wants to do this! just pretend i tagged u :) <33
