today i found out about burning blood and how you can use perona's negative hollow on everyone in the game (except for usopp) so here's cross guild depression

you may!! i figured if i was going to get one request at all, it would be for mister circus vampire himself. i still haven't even attempted NKG yet, but troupe master is a very fun fight! i like how birdlike he is for a bug(?). very fun design.

i hate the whole "the show was cancelled" excuse that toh fans constantly use to justify poor writing choices. i'm as upset as anyone that toh was cut short, but the show writers got an advantage that a lot of other shows didn't. they were allowed to actually end the show. look at infinity train, for example. it had more seasons planned but the execs decided to cancel it without even giving the creators time to write a proper ending.

so in that case, the writers of toh should consider themselves lucky and make do with what they have. of course, it's most ideal to have the freedom to write the entire show how you want. but when you can't do that but you're allowed to give the series a proper resolution, you have to pick and choose what plot points to focus on.

instead of focusing on the important arcs and plot points (belos's backstory, the collector's origin, hunter's arc, etc) the writers decided to add completely unnecessary ships and additions to further complicate the plot. i'll say it: huntlow was unnecessary, the whole hexside and kikimora thing in s3e2 was unnecessary, the collector's rushed redemption arc was unnecessary. in fact, some of these decisions actively affected the ongoing plot badly (huntlow ruining hunter's arc and bringing him back to square one).

in the end, you're left with more questions than answers. what's with the collector's sudden switch from evil and calculating to poor innocent uwu child? what actually happened in belos's past? how did hunter move on from his trauma without getting any closure and being paired with a person who acts a lot like his controlling uncle? why did amity forgive luz so quickly for lying to her after she asked her not to? what happened to all the witches and citizens of the demon realm who actually followed and worshipped belos?

so yeah, you really can't defend toh with this excuse. if i was making a show and was forced to cut it short, i'd be angry and upset, sure. but i'd try to make the best of it. i would focus on the main plot instead of going after side characters or ships that add nothing of importance to the plot. i still like this show a lot but i'm not going to blindly defend it. it has its flaws and they need to be critiqued.

This negative review for Hi-Fi Rush is fucking sending me like--

Bro, what did you expect???

[smiggles]

Sorry to bitch but I have a huge pet peeve with people thinking tumblr is a "bad site" because when they switch from twitter to here they get "no traction" on their art

and its like. yeah DUH you just switched to a new platform. Do you expect to get 1k notes on all your stuff overnight? Do you NEED 1k notes? If art isnt your job why does it matter so much. IMO tumblr is so nice because your audience truly engages with you instead of silently hitting a like/retweet button. They comment here. They tag. They send you asks telling you how much they liked that piece or what you do Additionally I believe that, even if you posted here a long time and get no following, sometimes its just. Luck. And thats what it is on twitter too. Ive seen AMAAAAZING artists with only 100 followers and 2 consistent likes on their work despite posting constantly just because luck was not on their side. idk man. thats me being cranky

[thychesters]

perona and zoro ending up in the same place is actually perfect because that man is dead and dying and she said "what if i just continue to pester him anyway" like that truly IS peak sibling behavior

pretty fucking tragic to see dragon age genart on mine own dashboard, but them's the breaks going forward I guess

I think I would hate the Melody Pond storyline less if it had any actual lingering emotional weight. It's a twist created entirely for shock value. Amy and Rory lose their baby mid season 6 and then have fun hijinks with the Doctor for the rest of the season like Demon's Run never happened. How do they continue on after something like that? Why do we never see them grieve outside of that one episode? They lost their baby. And no, finding out their baby is River doesn't change the fact that they don't get to raise her. Finding out she was actually their best friend growing up (which might have had more weight, if we'd met said best friend earlier than Let's Kill Hitler) doesn't change the fact that, again they did not get to raise their daughter as their daughter. And they lost her because of the Doctor. Because the Silence wanted to destroy him, because their daughter had been irrevocably changed by the TARDIS which made her the perfect weapon. Even if it wasn't technically the Doctor's fault...how do they continue to travel with him after that? How does that not IRREVOCABLY change their relationship? Why were there no consequences? Why, in the grand scheme of things, did this reveal Not Matter?

And the thing is, in season 6 we see the Doctor repeatedly fail Amy and Rory in ASTOUNDING ways (Amy's kidnapping and Demon's Run, but also in the Girl Who Waited, when he essentially kills older Amy (and makes Rory complicit in her death)) until he, ultimately, decides to leave them in the God Complex for their own safety. But he left them. Why weren't they the ones who left, after the devastating loss of their daughter? How could Rory possibly continue to travel with the Doctor after he had to listen to a version of his wife die because of a mistake the Doctor made?

If there's no lingering emotional stakes, then why should I care about anything that happens? If there's no real consequences, what does it matter how anything resolves? Amy and Rory lose their baby, but it's alright! She's River! And they go on traveling with the Doctor like nothing bad ever happened! It's all fine! And it's all empty.

Honestly PK’s relationship with the void is actually kind of interesting when you consider Radiance’s implicit center-of-worship/base of operations was on top of a mountain as far away from it as possible, she calls the void her Ancient Enemy and greets it with the implicit assumption none of the vessels are individuals or even pawns of the wyrm nearly as much as they are pawns of said enemy which has been trying to destroy her all along.

PK, conversely, seems profoundly and personally obsessed with the stuff, possibly even to personal detriment. I’m reminded somewhat of the fate of Marie Curie whose fascination with radium led to great insights, but also left her massively overexposed to it.

He built his palace as close to the abyss as you’d get; his honor guard as well as some flying novelties (?) or service drones that propagate throughout his castle are effectively just great volumes of void wandering around. That the Abyss itself contains a great lighthouse that was personally attended by a royal retainer as well as a small personal office overlooking the great abyssal shore adds almost a quieter note of personal tragedy to the far greater horror that went on down there- that even to PK’s flawed worldview, the Abyss was not a place of great dishonor before he enacted the vessel project there. He liked it; he wanted other people to come down there and see it. In one of his writings he calls it “power opposed” but specifically in the context that he was sure he could get some pants on this thing somehow and put it in society.

PK is... thoughtlessly callous in many ways and one of the big ways is this belief of a civilizing force, that for him, the nicest possible thing he thinks he can do for anyone seems to be fitting them into a perfect, tailored box where they do exactly the work that is good for them and good for everyone forever. There’s a reason that Hollow is subtextually the Favored Heir, the inheritor of the kingdom to whom PK literally left all of Hallownest when you look at the message attached to the Worldsense bench- and they were literally a martyr being sent to spend the rest of their life chained inside of a seal as a sacrifice. A King without a throne or a crown or any political sway. And that up to a point, PK convinced himself this was not only the right and proper thing, but that he himself was... breathtakingly unprepared to grieve Hollow. Like it did not occur to him this might actually be a bad thing even when previous steps of it had horrified him even.

So I think it means a lot that PK has this notion of civilizing the Void. That it could belong in his big divine order that everything fits in. It’s foolish, and, from the POV the game takes- that of his own voidborn children- it’s immensely cruel, that Hollow who was offered A Place and A Meaning was no happier than others, and we see the Collector who also seems to have been born and shaped to PK’s design only to be reshaped by someone else’s- the noble who Kept them in the Tower of Love- resulting in a being that has deeply warped ideas about safety and protection and what it means to love someone else.

Like as the inspiring post said, PK absolutely has no illusions about the void’s ability and willingness to destroy him. But his fascination with it- before his other issues get involved- is almost one of the most ‘innocent’ things in his personality.
