always sign your sketches even when you think they're "not good" or "badly drawn" b/c i didnt do that for a little bit and people took my art and pretended that they drew it lol
"it's a wishful life" still haunts me and the fact that timmy, a 10 year old, has to witness the fact that everyone would be better off without him genuinely hurts me. how this boy doesn't have deep seeded trust issues and self doubt is beyond me
Light thinking he was “chosen” to get the Death Note lines up so well with his thinking of being a god and Ryuk telling him it was a coincidence and he’s fucking stupid for thinking that is so funny to me you tell him bitch
there is a difference between being born to a throne, maliciously vying for a throne, stealing a throne, and having a throne thrust upon you when you are already in the midst of an identity crisis. And I fear Loki's place in the line of succession has people unable to differentiate between any of these
a concerning amount of people are saying ashton and imogen are whiny brats that "shouldn't expect the gods to fix all their problems", which kind of ignores the fact that ashton was an abandoned orphan starving to death in the desert for a good few years and that imogen had an unending migraine of everyone's thoughts for her entire life that nobody bothered to help her with (or even COULD try and help her with) because the only person that had a straight answer for her fucked off to join a cult.
it’s not a secret that i’m a ttxs bros fan and i love that show! it was my end of week treat and i knew that no matter how stressful the weekdays were, i have ttxs and wyb to watch and be my sunday reward. wyb had 3 performances for 2023 nye and we knew about the 2 and i was excited for it but that night, my fave would be his duet with dls of the song that never ends. aside from the dls/wyb/wh moment, i think that personally, it was the kind of performance i needed that time. nye stages are expected to be flashy but sometimes what we really need is a heartwarming song to remind us of the past year and the people that we love. it was really special <3
so i’m sharing this clip of dls/wh talking about that stage:
DLS: I remember that Wang Han said something casually before, so I wrote it in the song, but he said that there are some things that cannot be said or forgotten, and cannot be even thought about, because as soon as you touch it, you will feel it, and then the feeling will disappear. going back, I have written this song for more than two years. I originally wanted to make this song my own, and I thank Hunan for allowing us to be on this stage. Later, Wang Yibo and I sang this song live. I used to sing it and it felt so good. I sang and performed, and that night, maybe I felt that Wang Yibo didn’t know that we were going to sing this song because of Wang Han, and we both had the mentality that this song is coming, are you sure we should start singing it, because when we sang it, the feeling was... We will come back a lot. When we were together, we kept talking about whether we should watch Wang Han, because you know, we were afraid that we wouldn't be able to sing when we saw Wang Han, and we would start crying. Then later we found out that Wang Han was watching from below.
How can I say that I feel that sometimes there is a relationship or a piece of work that will always end. When it becomes a song, a paragraph, a poem, a painting, it will always be in our hearts. In this melody, Wang Han and I are slightly different in age. But I feel that my friendship with Wang Han is like a song that can never be finished.
WH: Thank you. In fact, the time gap is not particularly long because it was December 31st and today is only March. Da Zhangwei means a lot to me.Every time, I look forward to him coming, and then I'm so afraid of him coming. I really want to see him but i’m afraid cause i don't know what to say. The two words he says the most are, "Just be happy. Just be happy. You'll be happy." So what I especially want to say is that if he wants me to see him happy, I will see him happy. If one day he wants me to see him unhappy, I just need to use my eyes to see him and my ears to listen to him. Wang Yibo is cold and he is warm. They are my cold and warm life.
One of the funniest (likely unintentional) timeline fuck-ups in BG3, in my opinion, is the implication that Gortash just... straight-up lied about being the Chosen of Bane when he first met Durge.
In Memoir Notes with Recent Addenda, Gortash writes this:
- The Bhaalspawn and I work together on a heist from the House of Wonders and, discovering common goals, forge an alliance.
- In dreams, the Bhaalspawn and I are visited by Bhaal and Bane, who name us their Chosen and command us to seek out and ally with Ketheric Thorm, the Chosen of Myrkul.
Since the rest of the notes all seem to be written in chronological order, we can assume that they became their gods' Chosen at some point after their first meeting.
However, the book you find in Durge's old room, describing the aforementioned museum heist, has these two lines:
I shall savage the museum's guards fighting along with this Chosen of Bane...
and
...it will be the perfect test of this supposed Chosen's mettle in combat.
Durge refers to Gortash as the Chosen of Bane, even though — according to Gortash's own timeline — he wouldn't have been Chosen yet.
Is it just a minor mistake by the game writers/developers? Probably.
Is it hilarious to imagine Gortash lying about being the Chosen of Bane, all to impress some Bhaalspawn he just met? Absolutely.
"Normal guy tries to get his brother home safe and accidentally becomes the arch nemesis of a powerful conquerer" and
"Normal guy tries to save the girl his little brother has a crush on and accidentally becomes the arch nemesis of a powerful dictator" are both 11/10 origin stories.
