So let me get this straight:
Hollow knight is about the journey of a small creature possessing the corpse of a god's discarded child, and the character arc that unfolds as they realize they're more than the path they were set to take, eventually defeating the corruption instead of merely postponing inevitable destruction.
Rain world is about the journeys and experiences of many small creatures sent by a bunch of gossiping computers, and the efforts to help stop the destruction caused by a corrupted god that unfolds over hundreds of years, all to postpone his inevitable death.
Man, video games are fun!

i love bisexual eddie munson, but specifically in like a shang from mulan kind of way, you know? like he knew he liked boys, that made sense. just another way he’s different from everyone else, just another reason he’s a freak. so why bother examining it? he’s gay, hawkins hates him, might as well lean into it. maybe chrissy was the first time a girl made him feel butterflies (or bats?) in his stomach, and it confused him so bad he didn’t know what the hell to do about it except make a fool of himself flirting with the queen. maybe he took one look at nancy wheeler with a sawed off and went “yeah ok holy shit i get it, i see why steve was willing to burn his life down for her and why robin keeps making moon eyes at her and why jonathan lost his mind and pointed his camera through steve’s window like an insane person.” like he’s still into steve, obviously. the man is swanning about shirtless and bloody in an apocalyptic wasteland like the embodiment of all of eddie’s weirdest fantasies, there’s no way he’s not into steve. but i just love the idea of eddie being the one going through an Upside Down sexuality crisis (TM) rather than steve. what is happening to him?? why does he suddenly want to kiss everyone??? get it together munson you are running from a goddamn mob!!!

mizutaigen is literally like. the first "toxic" m/f ship i've ever cared for. cuz like usually my taste in m/f ships is basically "unhinged baddie" x "badass wifeguy" *
* (see:yen/geralt. trevor/sypha. adolin/shallan. kataang but katara is sane and they're literally so wholesome like theyre traumatised kids in love who are each other's emblem of hope in a war-torn world! so basically they don't count. anyway. i'm rambling.)
and to that end my friend called mizutaigen yaoi-adjacent and im like. yeah you're right actually cuz like hell yeah non-binary mizu and bisexual taigen rights and all the gender fuckery in the show in general
but also like.
theres just SOMETHING else about mizutaigen that just GETS me. like there's a special secret sauce like the pheromones in that one sephora lotion attracting spiders and i am the silly spider!!! there's just something about it!!! it's not even the enemies to lovers trope cuz i personally am not even usually into that (obv it's fine if you are. but yk.)
so as i keep rotating these thoughts around i thiiink it's the fact that, yknow, theyre so similar. like i honestly truly think they could be besties in another universe: a kinder universe where taigen was not taught to hate. a universe where mizu was not born a girl in a deeply misogynistic society or half-white in a xenophobic homogeneous society.
yeah now that i think about it that really just might be THE secret sauce!!! like the fact that they COULD be perfect and happy together, if only things were different, if only they werent themselves.
smth v bittersweet about that's just driving me insane and makes me want to root for them to overcome all those obstacles, to say "fuck all that" (re:the world and all its fucked up shit) and find each other in the end. to eventually become each other's fav person and confidant. who obv still bicker and tease and insult each other all the time but they dont really mean any of it and over time it just becomes a running gag between them and no one else has to get it because it's just between the two of them.

Yeeeah I've read summaries also of anything else that features bloodclan and it's terrible
its so bad dude. in the original series bloodclan was mysterious and intimidating, while portrayed in firestar’s pov as cruel with harsh lifestyles they didn’t actually display bloodclan doing anything our main protagonist clans haven’t done themselves (like go to war over territory, kill in self defense, etc) and this was further supported by rise of scourge which showed bloodclan as a collection of cats uniting as one strong force in order to survive. scourge wasn’t even particularly ‘evil’ in either rendition either, merely cold and collected. hell he didn’t so much as harm the siblings who tormented him his entire youth, just gave them food before telling em to get lost. definitely not saying he’s a nice guy by any means since he still kills people LOL but it had more nuance. every appearance after though it almost seems like the erins realized they accidentally made bloodclan Not Evil Enough and they were scrambling cuz we cant let them be ambiguous, proceeding to emphasize how every rouge is now puuuuureeeeeee evil and deserve to die cause they hate love + babies + nuclear families. don’t even get me started on that barley backstory retcon lmfao sorry but i cant take it seriously at all

Consider This Scenario:
Makoto Kagutsuchi getting sick with a bad cold for the first time ever in his life.
He'd totally be the type of lunatic that would drink cold medicine or cough syrup directly from the bottle like it was an energy drink. And there would be multiple bottles.
It WAS medicine right? It would make this stuffy and yucky feeling go away so he could go back to work??
(Spoilers) TW// vomit mention
He was immortal, what could possibly go wrong?
...
Only for him to suffer the HEAVY consequences of intense hallucinating, a higher fever and a lot of vomiting later.
Then he’d have a seizure and die.
…
And then when he comes back,
He would never do that again.
...
well maybe just one bottle next time.
(makoto no)
