I should be sleeping right now but this AU idea came to me and won't leave me alone
Ok so it's the late 70s/early 80s, and Ford has just received word that Stanley is dead. Of course Ford is devastated, to say the least.
Stan left a suicide note on the dashboard of his car, addressed to Ford. Along with his final goodbyes and apologies, Stan also wrote that he wanted Ford to have the Stanleymobile. For the past decade, that car was like a piece of his soul, and he didn't want it to end up in a scrapyard (nor did he want it sent to their parents in Jersey; Pa would probably just sell it for parts).
So the car is towed to Gravity Falls. The interior of the car is apparently left untouched, and Ford is extra devastated to see plain evidence that Stanley had been living in it. No wonder the car was so important to him; it was his only home for so many years...
The car sits outside Ford's home, unused. While it's true that Ford had been needing a replacement vehicle ever since Steve devoured the last one, he couldn't bring himself to start using this vehicle. The thought of using the Stanleymobile for everyday transportation needs felt... wrong. It felt like disturbing Stanley's grave. Ford just couldn't bring himself to drive it.
But that's okay. He doesn't need to drive it, because the car can drive itself.
It can start its own engine without any keys in the ignition. It honks and flashes its headlights like it's trying to get Ford's attention. By all accounts, the vehicle has a mind and will of its own. One might even say the car is alive.
Stanley did say in his note that the car was like his soul, or that his soul was linked to it, or something to that effect.
Apparently he never left.
#and then it turns into herbie the love bug i guess#ford has a sentient self-driving car inhabited by his brother's soul#there is open potential for angst AND fluff and shenanigans#ford couldn't drive that car if he wanted to. stan will fight him for control#stan inches forward towards fidds (clearly without a driver) just to mess with the guy#'stanley you should really be using your turn signals' ford chides him as stan drives ford someplace#'i'm driving this time' he whispers tersely to the center console. as if he really has any say in the matter#gravity falls

pokedex designs review?? :3c
Kanto: Not bad, I like the flip motion and the way the cover tucks into the top part when closed. It feels like it has a LOT of unneeded buttons though.
Johto: It folding up into an old-style phone is neat, but the way it unfolds seems very cumbersome to actually use.
Hoenn: The it sits sideways instead of vertically is a bit weird, but I like the simple practicality of this one a lot, especially the big Pokeball-style button at the top.
Sinnoh: Not entirely sure what the right-hand thing is (scanner?), but once again points for practicality here, even if I like the Hoenn one better from an aesthetic standpoint.
Unova: I hate the fact that these are gendered. Also, not only does the gendering not make sense (why does the "male" on have two screens??? actually these might just be showing them open and closed respectively) but it's hard to figure out how these even work as there's no buttons but it doesn't really seem to be a touchscreen either.
Kalos: This one seems to break the laws of physics so points off for that, but I think the touchscreen phone thing combined with a nice sliding cover is a cool concept, and I like the Pokeball design and the futuristic look.
Alola: Rotom Dex as a character aside, I'm not a big fan of this design because it's hard to figure out how it functions; like, on the other designs you get a feel for how you could pick them up and use them, whereas here that's not really the case. I'm not even sure I would guess this was a Pokedex if there wasn't context attached to it.
Galar/Paldea: Grouping these together because they're basically the same design. I like this better than the SuMo Rotom Dex because these are just phones; it's easy to see how you can use them. However, having the Pokedex as an app rather than a separate device is kind of underwhelming? Like it makes a lot of logical sense, but it also makes it feel less important. If it was a phone but had some cool Pokemon-esq design to it and some more interactivity like the Kalos dex I think that would be a happy compromise. Also, having basically the same design for two gens is disappointing.
#also yes I am aware most of these are styled after consoles and while that's a nice touch I don't think it matters much beyond that#pokemon#pokedex#ask#Anonymous#pokemon reviews#? guess this counts sure

My downstairs neighbours have a cat named Merlin (after the bbc Merlin) and tbh that must be a really satisfying thing to name a cat. To spot it across the room about to do something it knows is illegal and go "Merlin,,," to let them know you know they know
#it's such a fun name to say it's no wonder Bradley James says it Like That so much#and then no matter how the cat reacts#whether it startles and falls off the table or pretends it was NEVER thinking of crime or does the crime while looking directly at you#it's in blorbo character#which is some small consolation to you if not your murdered house plant#if my downstairs neighbours find me through this post no you didn't#or like. come meet my kitten. whichever#bbc merlin

It's almost funny that no one cared about Jayce's situationship with Viktor but it ended up being everyone else's problem in the end.
#i mean......#vi and jinx got reunited with vander by some miracle just for it to be ripped away from them#hell jinx had the best family moments after a long time before it all went downhill#isha fucking died#basically the warwick situation#and then we have the followers who were PEOPLE who were 'cured' and then died so sinisterly like that#caitlyn ofc has to console vi who has to console jinx who is probably unconsolable#the viktor as a cult leader matter can be bad yes but it doesn't exclude that he had this thing going on with jayce that DOOMED them all#and then there's the preview for act III#also who KNOWS what heimer and ekko had to go through because of those two in the arcaneverse#jayvik#jayce talis x viktor#arcane

I am going to have to chew on what you're saying about religion and relationship in Christian fantasy because I tend to shy away strongly from stories that make God a fictional character. One of the things I often cite as liking about A Canticle for Liebowitz is that it never tries to tell you what God is thinking or doing - it doesn't insert him into the text as a fictional character. Which is kind of exactly the opposite of what you and OP are praising in Narnia. And maybe there's a difference between something set in the Real World and something designed as Fantasy. But anyway I need to chew on this...
okay YES that's extremely valid! I can agree with that too - which suggests my opinion is either more complicated or more fickle than I realized. xP
I think... I think I want it acknowledged that God is a person. BUT making God a character is dicey, as you say. C. S. Lewis pulled it off I think, but... would I dare, personally?? Hngh.
I think it may, perhaps, be more about worldbuilding than narrative presence. As you say, with things set in the real world (or its speculative future), if it's Christian fiction we know Christ is there. We don't need to SEE him, and religious experiences should probably be depicted with caution and restraint.
But if you're writing a fantasy world that's supposed to exist in Christian cosmology (is that the right word? within a universe/multiverse created by God, I guess I mean - again, like Narnia), where the characters have religion - THEN I think what I'm really asking for is that God be at the center of that religion in a way that makes him recognizably Someone and not Something. At least if the character is motivated/sustained by their religion.
Because the more you're trying to depict your fantasy characters having realistic spiritual lives/experiences, the more I think the Force Of Goodness or Creator or Light or what have you that they lean on probably needs to be a Person?
On the other hand! In LotR characters are very clearly receiving graces and devoted to the good and soldiering on in virtue without Eru ever being so much as mentioned, so you can clearly write deeply spiritual Christian fiction without religion in it. And I have seen SW fanfic interpreting the Light Side in a very Christian way and loved that, while being stuck with "the Light Side of the Force" as about as impersonal a label as you can find. So maybe I'm just making things up here. I don't know.
I DO feel strongly about portraying the Trinity as Persons and not Functions, because it seems to me that religion is rather hollow if there isn't Someone you can love at the center of it all. But I also agree that portraying religion or spiritual life does NOT need God to be a "character" as such.
#i guess the matter of God's narrative presence is partly... given the events and characters the author has created they have to decide#what God's presence would look like in the story#and that's an authorial Responsibility even if the answer is 'His presence would not be directly noticable to any of the characters'#part of it is IF the character is receiving spiritual consolations or is on a journey to fulfill God's will and that's motivating them#then i would like to see their relationship with God matching their religion's understanding of Him#if all you know is the Sustainer then you're maybe not going to lean on Him the way you would on Christ Crucified you know?#unless you have ALREADY had a direct encounter with the Sustainer and been hit with His love#dunno. but that might be the core of it#catholic#asks#...i am definitely also going to be chewing on this

another scene i'm very ??? about in the english localization of 4-3... in this scene apollo originally gets coffee instead of water. he's a coffee drinker!! i also like the subtle differences in ema's lines here so rough translations below
EDIT: i've been told that this is most likely because the US/western countries don't sell coffee in vending machines! that makes a lot of sense but it's still a bit of a shame those versions missed out on canon coffee drinker apollo
JP
Apollo: Come to think of it, I'm feeling thirsty. I should drink something. Ema: Tea for me. Apollo: ...... I think I'll go with coffee. Ema: Tea! Apollo: Please buy it yourself. *ka-tonk* Apollo: (I got hit by a karintou...) Ema: Tea.
KR
Apollo: Come to think of it, I'm feeling thirsty. I should drink something. Ema: I wanna have tea. Apollo: ...... I'll have some coffee. Ema: I said I want tea! Apollo: Please buy it yourself. *ka-tonk* Apollo: (I got hit by a karintou...) Ema: It's tea, not coffee, alright?
these two are mostly similar but i really like how blunt ema is in japanese lol she doesn't even say "i want" or anything it's just. tea. tea! meanwhile in korean i think it's cute that she specifies that she Doesn't want coffee...
really wonder why they decided to change up apollo's choice of drink tho... there is a big difference between someone who decides to drink water and coffee (?) so i think it's a bit of a shame... just for fun i decided to check the other languages since i've heard that the european localizations follow the english localization and sure enough, they do in this scene as well! both traditional and simplified chinese have coffee just like in japanese
#satsusays#ace attorney#ema skye#apollo justice#satsuTL#aa4 replay#even tho it is still a bit of a hassle i love when games allow you to change languages... it's something i take for granted a bit sometimes#since certain games tie language to system (console) language. and then some versions of games don't let you change it at all#my mortification when i realized 🦄overlord didn't let me change to jp text...#and then some older games don't even have dual audio options AAH#i try not to talk about voice acting differences too much when it comes to languages because i think it's a LOT more subjective#but if i enjoy a game enough i'll play both jp and en voice...#since aa barely has voicelines it doesn't really matter tho lol. but i am playing with korean voice atm

Just noticed that Neo's CAS / Fashion shop model is different from his in-game model, which is quite weird. Most noticeable difference is that his CAS model's nose isn't as big. In-game Neo's nose is big enough to clip through his glasses, this doesn't happen with his CAS model. His brows seem to be shaped different too, among other smaller differences.
This seems to apply to many characters, as Genghis' models have the same peculiar differences. His in-game model has a rounder face, bigger [bottom] lip, and a much bigger (albeit flatter) nose than his CAS model.
The same thing also applies to Kiki Blunt's model. Her CAS model has a totally different face -- different eyes, different jaw, different brows, different makeup, no mole.
I wonder what's with the inconsistencies of the models? I understand to an extent how it happened with the renders, as the renders were likely made earlier. Were the CAS models also made earlier, yet never updated to match their current models?
What's really interesting about this is that despite them being different models, the CAS model still manages to wear the same clothes as the in-game model if the latter changes its outfit.
#the sims#sims#the urbz#urbz#neo flange#genghis lincoln#my gaming#the foundry#foundry#central station#the sims console#sims console#the urbz sims in the city#this is also why it doesn't matter if ur renders don't look exactly like the in-game models!!#'cos hoo boy the appearances of these characters are NEVER 100% consistent#not even in the game itself!

Ferdinand finds maria shortly after the battle, his steps lighter, as if not wanting to intrude on whatever thoughts she might be gathering. when he speaks, his voice is notably softer, more attuned to her presence. "you did exceptionally well, Maria. I mean that sincerely."
he glances toward the sky for a brief moment before turning back to her. "there is an artistry to how you fight. a kind of brilliance that is uniquely yours. i was honored to witness it firsthand." his usual fervor remains, but there is a warmth to his words, a genuine appreciation beyond simple courtesy.
"but tell me—have you received proper care?" his brows furrow just slightly, his concern not pressing, but still present. "it is one thing to shine in battle, but quite another to endure it. I would much rather see you continue to shine, unhindered."
there was an apology already on his lips. "I am sorry." he bowed his head. "I really, really am! please allow me to make it up to you."
Ah, but is there a better way to a Macedonian's heart than a compliment to their battles? (Yes, in Maria's case, but there is still a ticklish cocktail of pride and gratitude that swells in her chest to hear it.)
"Hee hee... really?" One might think that laughter cheapens the sincerity or impact of such earnest praise, but then how is one to express joy? To release all the warmth and delight that has bubbled in her chest? It simply slips past her lips and through the slivers between her fingers, held up to her mouth.
The appreciation is in her eyes, soft like the setting sun rather than the round, clear moon. Any semblance to her siblings is one she delights in, savoring those rare times it is found. After all, she is more magician than martialist! But Ferdinand is earnest; little as she knows him yet, she knows this certainly.
"Thank you! It really... really makes me happy to hear that!" Fingers slip down, hooking on her chin, smile revealed now in full. "And you keep your heart when you fight! Right where it belongs, hee hee." Pulled like a flower to the sun, her head tips back, laughter on her lips to match the apology on his. "I think that's something wonderful, Ferdie. Keep it with you, okay?"
He should not feel guilty for doing as he had promised to do -- as Maria, too, knew would happen. Rather, she thinks it is something to be proud of, to keep heart, sense, and duty in balance and feel the weight of all. But he apologized then and he apologizes now, so shouldn't she offer him some sort of absolution?
"Hmm... I guess I'll forgive you!" (An obvious, mischievous wink at that -- and if that is not enough, she punctuates it with a peal of giggles.) And if still that is not enough, she rests her chin on the point of her finger and turns her head, mirthful all the while. "Hee hee... it's really okay, I promise! But, if you want to make it up to me..."
Finally, hands swing clasped behind her back.
"...then think about what your favorite cookie is. Pretty please? Oh! And your favorite tea, too! You have to promise me, okay?"
(Another laugh; he does not have to promise, not really.)
"Then when I've gotten a check up and you've won your next round, you'll tell me yours, and I'll tell you mine!"
#nobilisseoblige#TOAboel2025#FERDIEEEEEEE MY BELOVED#hes so sweet and silly she thinks he's wonderful#she's always surprised when someone compliments her on her fighting since she's always#naturally considered herself as worse at it esp in comparison to her siblings. like a matter of course#so it makes her really happy when someone does bc she never expects it and it makes her feel a bit closer to them too :] hehe#sorry for blasting you with glitter ferdie but if it's any consolation you ARE very dashing with it :doggy:

Love that the Oblivion Remaster is reminding people that Skyrim was a simplified downgrade :)
#elder scrolls#oblivion#i have been hastag team oblivion since 2011#helps that i first played oblivion in 2011 lmfao#in all seriousness tho the remaster overhauling the leveling fixed one of oblivion's worst qualities#not that it matters to me because Mods but consoles get it now

do you think finnick audibly gulps in such a fr way whenever annie gets flirty with him
#i mentioned finnick being a gulper in the johannie fic mostly as a joke#but now i’m in love with the concept#at first i was like this would be in the early stages of their relationship but like#i think finnick is the type to blush whenever they kiss no matter how long they’ve been together#but like do yk what i mean#like obviously audibly gulping takes effort but i don’t mean he does it in a jokey way#like annie will say something like “i want ten million kids right now” and he’d stare at her#and try to think of something to say#but all that comes out is a gulp and it’s against his will bc his brain is literally like ???#correction it would be more like 💥💥💥 no question marks required bc he knows exactly what he needs to do he’s just flustered#like if this was inside out then all the ppl at his control console would be running around in panic as the console bursts into flames#i made way too much of an effort to describe such a stupid concept but. well. yk me#odesta#annie cresta#finnick odair#i’m gulping as i post this btw jic everyone vehemently disagrees w me

ACHK WHA HUH
anyway so clearly they did have new stuff to announce for the anniversary but just didn’t until a few weeks later for whatever reason
splatoon 3 content extension *and* a new spinoff game…what more could we have dreamed for truly
#i really hope raiders doesn’t come out for a long time because it will be quite awhile until i’m willing to buy a switch 2…#one of the many factors (one of the less important ones) is that i don’t want a standard switch 2#like i want to get a cool special edition since i will have to stop using my splatoon 3 edition switch that i love so dearly#if i’m going to spend that much crazy money the console needs to look cool#so maybe one of the two games that are the only reason i want the console will have a special edition#1st world problem it really does not matter#splatoon#splatoon 3#splatoon raiders#anyway back to my isolation as i still have not finished chapter 4#if it weren’t for those shadow crystal holders i would have been done days ago#i gave up on the first one to come back with better weapons on a repeat playthrough so i’m forcing myself to not give up on the second one#it is unfortunate how bad i am struggling#but i will return permanently soon! i swear!
