So, just curious how many writers and creators will have to be forcibly outed by relentless harassment before we acknowledge that "This queer characters was written by a cishet person and that's why they're bad" is not good criticism.

#yes i'm just going to come out and say it i'm talking about sera #not exclusively but i am talking about her #'but her writer actually iS A--' you don't know that! it doesn't matter! and i don't care!#just say that you do not like the character.#people will reblog posts about the latest actor or YA author or whatever getting forced out of the closet and be like #'wow. :( that's terrible.'#and then GO RIGHT BACK TO DOING IT #when are we going to learn #when are we going to stop doing this BEFORE somebody is forcibly outed #because in practical terms #that means you have to be okay with queer characters being written by straight people.#you have to stop weaponizing that against writers you don't like.#you have to be willing to critique the writing on its own merits #without using the writer's (assumed) identity to prop up your arguments #that's how it works #but who wants to actually change the way they talk about media #when tearing apart people's identities for clout is far more entertaining.#gwaren exports #fandom problems #fandom critical

dream and hob are really just that post that was like 'introverts only make friends when an extrovert forcibly adopts them'

#hob picking dream up by the scruff of his neck: you're my friend now and we're having soft tacos later!#that was death's goal she was like hob is powerful and outgoing enough to rope dream into a friendship. i'm sure of it #dream's never had a friend because he never approaches anyone or tries and no one approaches him because he's scary and intimidating #except hob who doesn't give a fucK!!#hob: me and the best friend i pulled by not knowing when to quit!#little does hob know once he wins dream's favor dream will never let go of his hand and be completely obsessed with him for the rest oftime #that's how it works #dreamling #i feel u dream i've never initiated a relationship ever either

Okay I have to get a single vent off my chest and then I promise I'll be quiet.

I need ya'll to please realize now (before backlash at Guerrilla gets hurled in three years) DLC characters/content do not become mainstay installments in the way you imagine.

DLC characters do not become main characters.

DLC plots can be removed from the main story and recited as exposition in a main entry.

It HAS to be removable, because not every consumer buys DLC. Whether for lack of resources, access, or principal.

I just really don't wanna see people griping that Guerrilla "dropped"... ahem, anything... in three years from now. Or that some kind of endgame was promised and then taken away.

We been knew, or we SHOULD know bc this is how DLCs have worked always forever.

Not to mention BS was even MORE exclusive by proxy of being literally exclusive to a console people STILL don't have easy access to.

Please everyone just be reasonable when the time comes, that's all I'm worried about.

#sorry just the “endgame” comments have been really annoying #seyka is staying in the DLC or at most as an easter egg quest like nil in horizon 3 #as someone who liked her you guys are wrong sorry #dont shit on guerrilla when her role is reduces #that's how it works #also I'm FULLY convinced she was made solely to test audience reaction to a romance mechanic #without using a pre-established main character #bc then there would be bias #i am p confident in my reasoning here.#fight me about it in my ask box or somethin #burning shores #burning shores spoilers #seyka #hfw #horizon forbidden west burning shores #horizon forbidden west

"why would you want a strq story when you know how it ends?"

it's about the journey.

"but nothing interesting happened during their time—"

that's what writing the story is for. what's not clicking???

#i can at least understand the first one #since people take their spoilers very seriously #and don't see the point of something if they know how it ends #but the second one is just #...what.#do you know what stories are???#they're not historical records my dudes #you make shit up #that's how it works #the things you see on the internet

It's always the grumpy character who raises the single eyebrow. Never the sunshine one.

still mulling over that AI “Art” anon and like I s2g some people really look at the fact that custom art made by a skilled professional takes a long time and costs a lot of money and think that’s somehow a problem that needs solving when like, that’s actually how it’s supposed to work, jackass

if you’re mad that you can’t afford the art you want then either pick up a goddamn pencil and learn to make it yourself OR direct your anger at the capitalist hell system we live in that doesn’t pay you(or, coincidentally, artists) enough to survive on while also having nice things

#'good art takes a long time and costs money' isn't A PROBLEM #THERE'S NOTHING TO SOLVE HERE #THAT'S HOW IT WORKS #there are also plenty of places you can get actual free art ffs #royalty free image libraries exist #picrew exists #it's also actually not impossible to learn to draw despite what some people may tell you #yes even if you are an adult and have no experience #if you dedicate some time to it #you can learn to draw #and then wow guess what you can have all the free art your little hands can churn out

a collection of other nominee categories that i think are about to be a bloodbath this year

and, of course

the real battle of the fates

#im contractually obligated to vote for the catboy rigel dressup mmo or else square enix shoots me in the balls #that's how it works #yin-thoughts #some other thoughts because i wanted to say them even though nobody cares about yin's goty takes:#art direction is a pretty tough fight though i expect mario wonder to win due to recency and just it being good period #but hi-fi rush is a very respectable win as well and i'll gladly take it. i havent heard much on lies of p but it looks cool #best narrative is about as much of a bloodbath as the rest of these. i expect bg3 to win (and thats what i'd say personally)#but im also half expecting a surprise turnaround from like. idk. final fantasy guys or something. you never know!#best rpg is a BRAWL. all of those are absolute bangers. i really really want sea of stars to win bc it got snubbed from the indie category #and obviously bg3 is taking home a few awards regardless of what happens so it doesn't really matter if they lose this one #but that's not what i expect to happen :( at least it's there anyway #best score and music goes to hi-fi. it's a rhythm game. yes bg3 AGAIN but yknow what as a bg3 stan let them have this one #oh and ffxiv got nominated for the community award again as usual so. go team etc etc #also WHY is cyperpunk in the ongoing games category? bro thinks he's part of the team #edit: i forgot octopath 2!! i havent finished it yet but tbh it deserved a nomination just as much as anything else. sad to not see it

I can say bad things about my art school all i want and so can my fellow students but if outsiders say bad things about my art school I'm eating them.
