the more i think about Oppenheimer the more disappointed i get because at its core it’s such an interesting story to tell. like the whole manhattan project catapulted the entire world into a new atomic era that we could never go back from whether we were ready for it or not. and the fallout from the project not only changed and devastated the lives of hundreds of thousands of people (including of course the victims in hiroshima and nagasaki + the people living in new mexico where they tested the bomb) and the continued generational trauma of the bombs. also just the general mass panic and fear that the Cold War instilled into every citizen in the states who were literally waiting to one day be just annihilated by a nuclear attack. the whole creation of the atomic bomb had so much impact on the world. so doing a deep character study of both oppenheimer and his colleagues on the moral ambiguity of their work in the project and the outcome of it is such a great movie concept. but the film didn’t feel like that at all. instead Nolan gave us the watered down story that he’s best at and spent almost three hours forcing us to watch whether oppenheimer had to lose his disneyland government fast-pass due to his communist ties or not (spoiler: he does) and how strauss doesn’t like him because he got his feewlings hurt once. all the other scientists and physicists were given one or two minutes of screen time and were really just names to a face. the actual bombs creation was given a sidelong glance and trivial explanation at best. and of course to tie it all off the main female side characters were either naked/having sex for 80% of their screen time or was given the character depth of a piece of tissue paper

Joaquin "Jack" Navarro is a lone wolf, cyborg, and quantum physicist with an infamous talent for time-fuckery.
In the 1970s, Jack and Maggie---his wife and research partner---spearheaded the exploration of spacetime manipulation, producing a pseudo-physical albeit unstable manifestation of time. Their ambitions created disastrous consequences, ones that deteriorated Jack's mind to a state of agonizing pain and madness while also garnering transcendental abilities. He lashed out at his family, becoming more like a rabid animal than a man.
His madness was contained by the very rift he created until he fell into the hands of a powerful coalition that seized the opportunity to transform him into a literal killing machine, giving him cybernetic enhancements in order to pursue their own desires of spacetime manipulation and to strike down any opposition. Here, Jack became a violent, remorseless, teleoperated executioner.
After years of this, Jack broke away from servitude when his cybernetic receiver decayed, and he isolated himself on a distant planet where he was able to start putting together memories he had lost in the madness and trauma.
He still carries a cold and violent demeanor, a raging pessimist and bitter man with a penchant for self destruction. He has no idea what he wants, teetering between wanting to restore what was lost and wanting to remain in isolation, knowing he is at the mercy of the unstable time he created.

Saw your seamstress oc named Norita in giku's comments section, she seems interesting can you tell more about her?
Suree :33
- Norita is saved by hisae when she's nearly got public execution/sacrifice hence to why she cherished the school so much as it's one of the only things that reminded her of hisae
- her hair is 10 foot long and is always dragging behind her everytime she walks, which is one of the reason she doesn't like to go out as she don't want her hair too damage
- the reason she loves her hair so much is because hisae compliments it so she took very good care of them ( hisae and her has mother daughter relationship )
- looks can be quite scary but she's a very gentle and kind woman who talks in a very soothing voice, this doesn't mean she doesn't have her own sinister side tho
- if the school has an event she would only watch from her room windows as her room faces the school's field, rarely would go out but there's some times she would watch it right before her eyes
- has an unmodified copy of the school's textbook but kept it as a secret because she doesn't want it to be ruined
- has seen everything from the very first time this school is built, the fights between hisae and her clan, the wars that happened against the school, the older generation students death, and the most important thing that is still not to uncover; Hisae's death
- has a lover in the past whom she had loved so much but he is deceased due to old age and she must remain alive till god decides when the world is gonna end. Has moved on from her lover's death but still misses him every once in a while. Scared to be in love again because she knew she would surpass their lifespan eventually ( immortality is a cursed for her, not a blessing )
- has a daughter with him but she also outlived her daughter which is why she loves kids so much
- actually somehow ended up in the fourth place for the school's beauty pageant 😭

i would say jacobs loyalty quest is a good mission. Its a tense and terrible story, a somewhat predictable premise for an adventure story conflict, but like. Thats the problem. Its a good *sidequest*, not a good loyalty quest. We dont learn much that is unique about Jacob here. He already had problems with his father, and already wasnt speaking to him. It is terrible and Jacob reacts correctly, but there isnt really conflict or change in him here, to me? The other loyalty missions have much more changing moments and are more personal. They tell us new things or elaborate on what we know. Maybe the mission is more intense if you kill his father? I dont know.
The closest it gets to intriguing is the scene with TIM and the Miranda reveal at the end. But the game refuses to actually go into depth with Miranda and Jacobs relationship. Which sucks. Imo

>> wip day
was tagged a long time ago by @adelaidedrubman, @turbo-virgins and @shellibisshe to share a wip and was tagged by @morvaris and @aartyom to share six sentences from a current wip, thank you so much!! i decided to combine them and rather than sharing a wip, i'll share some information about the broker, a new character i recently introduced into the story of my cyberpunk ocs :) tagging @reaperkiller, @arklay, @steelport, @cultistbase, @faarkas, @swordcoasts, @ladybeniko, @necro-hamster, @strafethesesinners, @henbased, @coffeebucko, @awful-roffle, @bluemojave and anyone else who wants to do this!
A powerful fixer in Night City, operating from the shadows and only known by their alias. Cold and ruthless, focused entirely on wreaking havoc in the existing mercenary world by planting seeds of distrust and paranoia, to pit everyone up against each other. While their interference is still minimal, the long-term consequences can be felt in every corner of the city.
Once a powerful Arasaka asset, the Broker has access to a tight network of assassins- a few highly skilled killers who serve as their security network, all ex-Arasaka as well. Through connections they also have an entire division of Militech in their pocket, and the NCPD tends to turn them a blind eye.
The Broker is a horrible fixer, presenting themself as "one of the good guys" and luring mercs in with eddies and empty promises. With their charismatic nature, they're able to use the backstabbing and corruption in Night City's underworld as a tool to manipulate mercs into thinking no one can be trusted and the entire network has to be destroyed for good, and they themself are the only person in the whole city they can trust; this way, their mercs end up developing a strange dependency on them, meaning they'll do anything they tell them to do without giving it a second thought.
Though once the Broker has lured the mercs in, they stop paying them well and give them little support while they do all their dirty work, uncaring about what happens to them and whether or not they'll make it out alive. The mercs are mere tools to the Broker to achieve their long-term goals, and they even take pride in killing those who dare to disagree with them- turning them into an example for others.
Some time after Vincent has been cured and is no longer actively dying, one of Vitali's cargo trucks is intercepted by a group of his old mercenaries- all people who felt betrayed and abandoned by him after his departure from Night City with Vincent about six months ago, when they left for Arizona in hopes to find a cure. The attack leaves Lauren, Eddie and Mikhail gravely injured and it can be traced back to the Broker; while it is still unclear what their deal with Vitali is, they now seem to be targeting him and his entire fixer network specifically.

i think this is something i have to go search around for again but im wondering if the jibashiri DID in fact leave enkanomiya or did they wind up dying/left behind in it ?
i cant remember which quest talks about this or if it was just in the books you can collect but at some point as rebellion/resistance against the sunchildren and the jibashiri, someone sought out orobashi to save them and that in turn led to orobashi taking them up to watatsumi, meaning that the people that were saved was actually the rebellion rather than the jibashiri
but i also dont think i got information about who it was that sought out orobashi. aberaku did also seek out orobashi to create helios but that was at the beginning of the timeline, prior to the sunchildren. besides, if it were aberaku, we wouldn't have the sunshadow in enkanomiya
so who was it that sought out orobashi? who created the rebellion in the first place when so many other rebellions failed?
maybe that would actually be mouun and ayame's family in watatsumi. i just haven't really found the bridging point of what happened when they all moved to the surface

🖊🖊🖊
please i ALWAYS wanna hear more about your characters!
:D :D <3 Time for assorted character facts!!
🖊 - Cody, one of my sylvari folks, is best friends with another one of my sylvari folks, Niko, who's ex-Mordrem. They're very close, but they also have had several rocky patches in the years since HoT due to Cody's tendency to...I guess saying that she leans towards "moving past" things rather than actually dealing with them is the best way to put it. And when that extends to legitimate struggles Niko's dealing with after Literally Everything that was his time in HoT (including nearly being killed more than once and all the trauma that losing a fight for your free will ends up giving you), it's Not Great! There's also something to say about the fact that she'd rather pretend that everything's the way it was before Mordremoth, when that's...really not possible. Basically both of these plants need therapy (and do eventually get it!).
🖊 - I may have mentioned this offhand before, I can't remember, but Aysel actually does earn the Slayer of Issormir title, even though she doesn't follow the PS or take on the Commander role (she does join the Vigil a couple years later, though!). She's incredibly proud of this title and is more than happy to answer to it.
🖊 - Finch was placed in the Iron Legion fahrar as an infant (is that still the term for baby/newborn charr? do we call them kittens??), but most people didn't really expect it to stay there. It stuck with Iron Legion for as long as it stayed in the Citadel specifically to irritate the hell out of whoever it could by being a better engineer than them with one hand tied behind its back, so to speak--or, really, while only actually having one hand. And also because it really did enjoy building things, weapons or no.

anyway i have a theory based on matpats new video about the blob
i think the reason the daycare attendant has two "forms" or "consciousnesses" is because sun is possessed by remnant and moon is possessed by agony.
the pizzaplex is studying the potential both remnant and agony as a means of bringing new animatronics to life - and kidnapping children for experimentation. hence the "daycare" rooms with moon and the mysterious sleepytime candy ads in parts & service where all the endos are
why? i have no clue lmao
