Ya Girl Went to the Emmys

I had a fun time, it was nice to meet cool people and shake their hands and serve a mother slay, etc - AND it was very cool that my cousin Will won for Slow Horses, so proud - BUT

as fun as it was, I know when the chips are down none of the people I met last night (except Dave) are gonna be there for me. They don't know me, even the ones who recognised me and said they follow my work, and that's okay! The people who are really gonna be there for me are my audience. Some of you have been watching since the bookshelf days and even earlier. Now I'm on the red carpet at the Emmys and that's cool, but I know who put me here. You. Especially you, tumblr fanbase. (Best fanbase.)

So here's to many more glitzy events and slay fits, but I hope I always remember where I started and who got me where I am today

<3

(slight, vague spoilers ig?) about the HEA route, were we always intended to dislike smitten and his actions here were clarifying that intent, or was it more like character development? I've been seeing more people say that his actions here have made them dislike him during other routes too, so I wasn't sure if he was always supposed to be difficult to like or not

The voices are, among other things, manifestations of the player's emotions. Even the best things in life can be destructive in excess, and in terms of voices, this is far from being a unique characteristic of the Smitten. See also: Cage!Skeptic; Tower!Broken; Witch!Opportunist, etc. etc.

Smitten in HEA is an interesting stand-out case because the route hits particularly close to home for a lot of players. And when something in a fantastical setting hits close to home, there's a tendency to apply real world standards to the characters involved in that event. So players are more likely to take Smitten to task, than they are, say, Hunted, who traps you in a cycle where you and The Den violently eat each other forever, or Broken, who insists on torturing Apotheosis.

If anything, prior to release, I thought Smitten-heads would mostly be upset at his lack of screen time. He has almost *no* dialogue in The Pristine Cut, even in "his own" route, where the role he serves is more that of an echo than that of an active participant. I liked abby's answer in our AMA.

All of this is to say, there's no overarching intention for you to "like" one voice or "dislike" another. Each iteration of them is "different," much like each iteration of the Player is "different" at the start of each version of Chapter 1. And all of them have the capacity to change, for better or for worse.

The least accurate part of Teen Wolf is that Stiles knew the ruins of The Hale house was in the woods ever since the fire and never dragged Scott out to explore it

My favorite scenario for Dawn and Ingo getting to go home is that Arceus drops them off literally exactly when they originally left

thinking about her again

[kaliido-s]

unfortunately for everyone following this account i watched the planet of the apes reboot trilogy recently and they’ve taken over my brain

rewatching dawn of the apes a few days ago totally ruined me honestly

enjoy some peter jackson king kong stuff too cause thats another ape movie I watched for the first time and also really fuckin liked. I did KK and PotA crossover doodles cause of course I did and the target audience is me and my one friend (he went as far as to actually figure out the logistics of the crossover based on my doodles and is also who got me to watch both ape movies)

2023's Superman: Kal-El Returns Special Vol.1 #1 cover by Dan Mora.

[notaplaceofhonour]

The journey this symbol takes in The Planet of the Apes series is so beautiful.

It started as a drawing of the attic window that Caesar made on the wall of his enclosure because he’s homesick. It’s a symbol of hope, yes, but it’s the symbol of his hope to be free and return home. It’s so deeply personal to him.

The tragedy is, Caesar never really gets to return home. When he does break out, he and the once captive apes have to flee to Muir Woods. By the time he makes it back to the house, the humans that made it home are long gone. He kills Koba, the closest thing he had to a brother, after being betrayed & left for dead. He tries to build a family, but they’re taken from him. And though he leads the apes to their new home, he never gets to enter himself.

However, the other apes don’t have the same context for the symbol. To them, it represents hope & freedom & strength, not because it reminds them of the window, but because it reminds them of Caesar. It’s his leadership that gives them hope & freedom & strength, and when he is gone, his teachings & his memory. It’s a symbol of love. He is their home.
