"Mister Bashir, what a pleasure it is to finally meet you."

Julian, why in god's name would you invite him to play the villain?

An interesting little fun thing with team 7 is that you assume that Sakura's gonna, like, woobify and simplify Sasuke by putting him on a pedastal,cause her goal is centered around him and shes a 12 y/o fangirl so like of course her understanding of him is skewed cause she doesnt see him as a person, just an object of affection, right? She's can't get Sasuke, can't imprint on and/or traumabond with him like Naruto and Kakashi do. They don't see him with rose tinted glasses, because they've lived through their own Horrors and empathize with Sasuke's experience.

......right?

WRONG lmao!! They have too many ghosts!! Naruto's single-minded codependent ass won't get out of his own way long enough to see Sasuke for who he actually is, only able to empathize with the parts of his trauma Naruto relates to and not really capable of understanding him outside of the context of himself (because Sasuke is. His other half). And Kakashi is far too jaded to be fair to him!! He can't decide if Sasuke is gonna end up as a mini-him or a mini-Obito or maybe a mini-Itachi, but either way he ALSO is too traumatized to see Sasuke AS SASUKE.

meanehile SAKURA'S autistic ass may have dogshit empathy, but you know what she does have? A special interest in sasuke. Nothing better to do then give herself a degree in Uchihaisms. She can write character studies about him. she can read his soul. Whenever she says something about him she is right. Every fucking time! She is RIGHT!!!!

'sasuke would NOT compliment me this directly or explicitly express worry unprompted, especially if it gets in the way of his goals' correct.

'Sasuke shouldn't hide that curse on his neck its not healthy BUT if I tell anyone about it he'll never trust me again, which might be even more dangerous for him then the curse mark. Like he can probably handle the curse mark but no one else can stop him from ripping peoples arms off.' correct.

Speaking of! 'Sasuke would not hurt me even when he seems to be...possessed? whatever the only way to knock him out of it is to present myself as Alive and thus something to be protected rather then something to be avenged, because he gets really stuck in his own head about revenge' CORRECT

'hey so um. like. Sasuke's gonna leave Konoha. I'm not sure anything can stop him at this point and honestly I'm kinda starting to doubt anything should, so the only thing I could possibly do to help him at this point is ALSO defect.' CORRECT!!!!

forever thinking about Venom putting a jacket around both Kaz and Quiet when he takes them back to mother base

I'm not gonna lie, at this point the main reason I keep playing Control is because I want to find Dr Darling (and find more of those in-game videos of him in the meantime) 🖤

[dammek-time]

I know this blog doesn't dwell on canonicity but I thought I'd chew on it anyway. It's the hyperfixation; it calls me.

I like theorizing about the canon Dammek, even if I'm in the minority with my opinions.

I don't know, the fanon perception of Dammek ranges from he's a malevolent twat that levels anyone or anything in his path OR he's a Strider copy. A stoic, wise-cracking asshole.

I don't subscribe to either notion.

He's not stoic as he emotes in every in-game photo or promotional art for Hiveswap. Honestly. I haven't seen a single piece in-game where he's rendered stoic. His lips aren't pursed he wears a shit-eating grin. He's always smiling—quite deviously at that. It's a smirk.

And the former assertion? I... I just don't see him being anything more than a brat? I don't see any evidence he's volatile or a parallel to Karkat Vantas. He never looks angry. He doesn't have resting bitch face.

He has—I just hacked into your computer and siphoned your files—face. If anything, the exposition we get in Hiveswap dictates he's... not physically adept. He's the brain to Xefros' brawn. He's the "ideas" guy. I think he lives vicariously through Xefros. I mean I know this is a bold statement but... I really think he's a lot like Jake.

He yearns for adventure, to be someone's hero, and to swoop in with cunning and bravado. Two of his altered movie posters depict him as the hero type. At most, he wants to be Alternia's savior. At least, I'd wager he wants to save Xefros. I think where the conflict lies is... Xefros isn't a damsel. He's a one-troll army. I believe Dammek covets his moirail's strength; he wants to be like the men in his action movies. So he lives out his fantasies vicariously through Xefros. He arranges obstacles, trials, and the like to satiate his fantasy of being a hero—and Xefros is the collateral.

While Xefros is jumping through the hoops, Dammek’s envy is leading him to develop pitch feelings. He may not like it, but it's there. And I think Xefros knows it because he's too self-aware not to.

But hey, I'm just thinking aloud. Being an introject clouds my opinion a little. I could be wrong! I just wanted to throw it out there. :')

sometimes writing is like the easiest thing in the world and sometimes it makes me want to gouge my eyes out like i've spent an hour and a half writing six sentences what is going on

[todayisafridaynight]

haunted by the knowledge that sega loves referencing their franchises and how many missed opportunities there were for kiryu to meet sonic the hedgehog

[rad-roche]

this is a very specific and granular question that i cannot imagine there is a real answer to but i am so curious. skyrim videos have always been A Thing but they're still going strong and pulling in serious views in mods, challenge runs, 'the game is 12 years old' nostalgia stuff where it's just accepted that you clip out of whiterun and run around to get the smithing chest because that's just what's done now. i wonder, if you combined the total revenue of those videos, how much money could you attribute to the memetic power of nazeem specifically. thousands? millions? or, in a just world.................. trillions?

[takumis86]

[trans-estinien]

its so wild seeing how non mmo players exist and well. i dont like it!

[archersgaymerblog]

Regarding Volo at the moment, but also in general with any hardcore villainized characters, I certainly get the sentiment behind wanting to not woobify antagonistic characters too much, but also like. I think for me, when the primary fandom take away is that a character is HARDCORE IRREDEEMABLE, NO GOOD QUALITIES IN THIS ONE!!! it’s almost like… an act of balancing out. Yes, I get Bad Man did Bad Things, I’m a person with a brain, but when it seems like EVERYONE is talking about how the Bad Man did Bad Things and needs to be, generally, physically harmed for the Bad He Did, it just feels like an act of balance to say,

“Okay but why don’t we explore this line where he said he’s experienced trauma before? And how he instantly backs away from talking about it under the explanation he gave himself that everyone must experience trauma to that degree?”

Or, “Hey, the guy has three friendship evolution Pokémon, two of which notably will leave their trainers if they don’t like them. Why do people extrapolate from that that he must be an abusive trainer?”

Or, gods fucking forbid, “Hey. Why is this character, who’s notably got indigenous roots to the setting, constantly being made the villain in angsty stories for the two white twins?”

Idk man, again I get not wanting to woobify too much, not wanting to strip a complex character of their complexity and the like, but if your takeaway is that any sympathetic or nuanced takes on a heavily villainized character is “woobifying,” like… idk, touch grass as the kids say. Who’s going to stop me, the Anti-Wooby Police?

Pros of dating Margaret in RF4 - she's very cute and sweet and all around lovely. She's also the only girl to get a skill exclusive to romancing her, and it is BUSTED. Her healing rainbow wave is the best support move in the game, IMO.

Cons of dating Margaret in RF4 - Unless you get obscenely lucky or choose to save scum a lot, you will NEVER be able to marry her.
