Ok here's my actual hot take from episode 33 - I kind of don't get the complaints that Fearne or Orym's deaths were "all about Imogen."

Fearne is ruidusborn. Otohan even focused on her because of that, for all that it was dismissive and condescending. That's the kind of thing that will really stay with Fearne as a consequence here, if FCG manages a successful Revivify. It could really stay with her and potentially drive her story of self-discovery in really interesting ways.

As for Orym, this fight was major for him in terms of his personal quest to find the shadow assassins. He sure found them. It's tragic and weirdly poetic that Otohan killed him too when she's the one who killed Will, but Orym absolutely found what he was looking for. This wasn't about Imogen at all, for him - it was directly tied to his personal quest. It just didn't end the way he wanted. And, like Fearne, if there is a shot at a Revivify with Orym, this moment of failure but also discovery would be a huge drive forward for his story.

They were all on this job together, not for Imogen, and there are clear ways the fight itself had narrative meaning for other characters.

And also, I'm going to need someone to explain (really explain, in a way that makes sense) how there being a powerful villain closely tied to one character is GREAT and the BEST EVER in one case (Percy and the Briarwoods) and somehow unacceptable and bad here, besides gender.

#cr spoilers #critical role spoilers #crit role spoilers #critical role #meta #orym of the air ashari #fearne calloway #imogen temult #I was being provocative in that last paragraph and I know the more reasonable reasons are #they're lower level #it felt like Matt wasn't clear to Laura about what to do and that had consequences for other players #and tbh 'someone actually died'#but I keep thinking about if Vex had actually died in the Ziggurat #which would have been purely for Percy's story #and wondering if the reactions would have been the same

I get why people complain about the overexposure of celebrities..... I'M sick of hearing about taylor and I'm a fan :/

#keep seeing posts about her on instagram and the comments being largely 'i'm so tired of hearing about her' +#'if i have to read her name one more time i'll scream' + 'why should we care about her going for dinner'#and even if they're coming from a hater perspective i get it!!!#if someone literally going out for dinner garners a load of press #or eating a snack results in a meme that brands and the literal empire state building are talking about it #then that person is simply too famous #and considering it's simply unsustainable to remain at this level of fame without the whole public getting sick of you #it doesn't particularly bode well #maybe she'll just sort of fade back into a marginally lower level of exposure #but we'll see #talking

Apparently Zionists are harrassing Sudanese people who're risking death to post updates from their own genocide because they can't tell the Sudanese flag 🇸🇩 apart from the Palestinian one. 🇵🇸

Mfers 1) can't even identify what they hate so much, 2) can't leave any Black people alone if their lives depended on it.

#''harrassment'' doesn't really cover it #i've never seen this level of blood-curdling dehumanizing outright genocidal hate from so many people before #they're swarming on twitter. it used to be pretty bad even here but now I think it's palestinians dealing with the worst of it #the lower the number of bigots on a site the more exclusively they go after their targets #leading to their harrassment being invisibilized to the unaffected majority who gaslights them about it on top of everything else #i remember the level of tankie harrassment of ukrainians last year. not that it stopped #but it's gotten worse now if anything because so many of them have jumped on palestine bc it validates their narrative #maybe it's why eastern european zionists are so much worse #or at least more visible #i don't think it's normal for so many genocides to be going on at the same time? unsure #palestine has thrown all the others into sharp relief but palestine alone has us so helpless #that it's making us too drained to give as much attention to the others #free palestine #free sudan #gaza genocide #palestinian genocide #sudanese genocide #online harassment #online hate #zionazis

do you guys fucking hear yourselves i'm just wondering. like be fucking for real here. everyone who says that millionaires aren't rich or some other shit because of inflation and prices going up owes every homeless person who has to read this shit $3000. guess what, things are just as expensive for the filthy poors WITHOUT a million dollars, too! usually a hell of a lot more expensive in the long run, actually! the cost of living getting more expensive affects EVERYONE. a flat $1000 is almost nothing to a millionaire while being a fucking life changer for many people living in poverty! come on now.

#i am so tired of seeing this shit. i can't believe i have to say a person with millions of dollars is not fucking poor.#'ohhh millionaires aren't rich they're your allies in the same boat! it's BILLIONAIRES you should care about'#'the middle class doesn't exist anymore and people making hundreds of thousands a year are lower class now'#it all just translates to fucking Well poor people should shut up and stop complaining about people having more money! we're ALL suffering!#yeah! and the people who sleep on the streets are suffering more than the people who make 100k a year! hello!#none of this is even getting into the amount of money and power that money holds in the third world and how that's by design #bc i'm not qualified to speak on that. but you have to be a level of ignorant i cannot comprehend to believe this and i see it so often

the way the most recent pokemon games don't let you turn off the exp share or the affection mechanic bonuses is nothing short of maddening. i think they make great accessibility features If Only They Were Optional and the flavour text is cute, but i want to have a fun casual playthrough that's at least mildly challenging without having to make it a nuzlocke or something. i don't want to feed my starter bitter medicines to make her hate me :(

#JUST LET ME TURN IT OFF... PLEASE....#i can't do nuzlockes i do Not have the willpower to stick to the rules and they stress me out haha #anyway i am a fool who's left all of my DS games in norway and i got a hankering for replaying sinnoh games #so i decided to get shining pearl right. figured it might be fun even if ill miss the 4th gren spritework something fierce #what ensued was a needlessly complicated process just to get a copy that was slightly cheaper than full price nintendo blood money #there's a store that listed shining pearl at a lower price. not brilliant diamond - just pearl #i feel like maybe it's by mistake since that's the price of a nintendo DS cartridge. so maybe wires got crossed #the norwegian version of the store does NOT have the price disparity.#anyway i can't order online without a swedish phone number. and the local store is out of stock #so i have several long walks to the store to get them to order it in for me and then to order it delivered to me etc #and then of course another long walk to pick up the mail BUT I HAVE IT NOW. I HAVE VIDEO GAME #and it's very nice and nostalgic with a couple quality of life upgrades #my first pokemon game was pokemon diamond. when i got it i was still learning english and had no idea what was happening at any time #good times good times #obviously no pokemon run is ever gonna be as challenging as my first ever run #it does not need to be! u can immediately tell that a lot of difficulty in earlier games is that leveling up your team was a hassle #and almost always required grinding. i do not miss that at all ! but the remakes seem to be Extremely Faithful #so they're not rly structured around how fast you can level your whole team #or that your pokemon are gonna start doing extra crits or hold on to last HP before u even get to the third gym #OH WELL #you know what's very exciting for me though. i have a misdreavous!!! they're pearl exclusive and not in platinum #ive always wanted to do a sinnoh run with a misdreavous on my team for some reason

While I’m on a roll with my Karn Family Thoughts™ I saw this, and now I really like the idea of Eedy not being a Coruscant native

And it got me thinking: with her big hair and eye for appearances, wouldn’t be be delicious if Eedy was from Naboo of all places?

We all know clothing is highly symbolic and important to the Naboo. Every piece they wear communicates something specifically. Eedy is a strong believer in this too:

She literally puts words to the position of Syril’s collar, “Look at me. I don’t believe in myself. I am desperate for approval.”

Then there’s the added flavour of Naboo being the Emperor’s home planet. I can just imagine her and Syril using that at every opportunity to impress imperial society.

Plus, Eedy would’ve been a young woman when Palpatine was elected senator. What if she’s followed his rise to power since then? What if he was her inspiration to leave Naboo? “If Palpatine can make it to the centre of the galaxy, then so can I.”

#star wars #andor #eedy karn #syril karn #palpatine #naboo #but then she does leave naboo #meets mr karn #has syril #gets stuck in an apartment on the lower levels #and her husband leaves them #and she shuts herself off. becomes bitter. fully assimilates to simpler coruscant fashions #but they're still there at the centre of the galaxy #there's still a chance #and that's why she pushes syril so much #also i love coruscant and naboo so i'll use any excuse to link the two planets lmao

“Rise from the Deep, Toa. Or DROWN in it.” Rhulk, First Disciple of the Witness

After his defeat in Savathûn's throne world, his essence has managed to find its way into Spherus Magna. As the Lord of Shadows prepares to usurp the Great Spirit, how will he fare against something truly Dark?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have intense crossover brainrot, which led to several destiny mocs, especially this one lmao

It also led to me wondering how Toa would fare against any of the main enemies in the Destiny universe, which is interesting to think about

#destiny 2 #rhulk #au #bionicle #so many clipping issues lmao #the answer is not very well #since most of the major enemies are paracausal #and Bionicle's story is all about being bound by destiny (the concept)#which means they're all *very* causal #except for maybe the Mask of Life and the Vahi #and the other Great Beings/Spirits #Toa could put up a decent fight against lower level Hive #maybe #and the Eliksni

So... after a game's worth of deliberation, Cal is siding with the Huana. I had thought I would get to keep Maia until after I actually went through with the plan, but we argued in front of the Queen and she permanently left my party.

Cal and Maia were on really good terms. In the modern au they're roommates.

What I'm saying is that this is really juicy drama.

Also I lost a dps slot.

#pillars of eternity #deadfire #maia rua #watcher calendula #I still have all the dlc to do #and the observatory #and some more islands to explore #so it actually would have been quite a bit before I even moved on to endgame #well I guess now I have space in my party for ydwin and fassina in the dlcs #although they're lower level because I haven't brought them places

That one Rudolph lesbian post has me all kinds of fucked up

Me foaming at the mouth desperate to explain that male work animals are more often than not castrated vs clamping my mouth shut bc then I'd be siding with a homophobe vs knowing it's meaningless bc the animators didn't care about any of that and just gave the reindeer antlers bc it looks good

#God I know I'm an annoying pedant but I hate not correcting misinformation/misconceptions #I just want to share my knowledge #I'm shaking And Crying #Also reindeer are used as working animals irl #And they're normally half castrated so that they have enough testosterone to be strong #But they have lower levels of testosterone so that they're more mild mannered #Like most work animals have names to refer to castrated males specifically bc of how common it is to do that #Like oxen doesn't mean cow it means a male castrated cow that has special training to pull equipment n carts n stuff #my animal adhd fixation aside #I don't think any of this information is relevant to ppl shipping whatever they want #Like if you want to say they're lesbian yeah they're lesbians!#This is the most epic interal battle I've ever had #And it's just me telling myself not to add things in the tags of a post #I am mentally unwell #These tags specifically are driving me crazy #Bc like it's you're acting like it's insane for ppl to castrate reindeer when that is smt the indigenous ppl of the north do regularly #And I don't like that #But also it's a post about lesbian reindeer that's not relevant

CLAWING AT THE GROUND bc I’m excited about the ATLA movie that should be coming out in a couple years but I’m also scared bc I KNOW... that they’ve decided nothing is sacred. they retconned/fuckt up so many things in Korra that my body isn’t ready for more things to be added to that list in the movie

#also changing the focus from Kyoshi to the Gaang suddenly is HUH WHAT #why not kyoshi.. I thought that was the plan #MIXED EMOTIONS over here but they can never mess up the actual series #I want to see the gaang be good people instead of Terrible Parents aushuhdgs #sergle.txt #I'M SCARED TO HOPE FOR IT TO BE GOOD!!!! I'm keeping my standard at EYE LEVEL.#they aren't high. but I'll try not to Lower them #something good Pwease the opportunity to fuck it up is much higher now that they're going back to Beloved characters that we know rlly well #rather than fleshing out a movie about Kyoshi who we know next to nothing about #what will they do...
