Listening to Blackbraid II now that it's finally out, so far it rips ass. Go check it out. Support their music maybe. First album also rips ass btw.

so, you're not a fan of p3 movies and how they handled minato (understandable tbfh) but can I ask what you think of the stage play/manga/drama CDs or even spin offs like PQ, specifically minatos portayal in each of those? is there one, not counting the games, that resonates with you? would really love to hear your opinion!

This is a really interesting question, so thanks for sending it my way anon!

Before I start let me preface by saying I feel like it's really difficult to nail a character as well as P3 Hero in supplementary content. If you want more of a grasp on his personality, nothing will ever beat the game itself. I'm not treating these as replacements of the game, rather their condensed take on the game character, making a new character in it's place. Also, just because I dislike a characterization does not mean i dislike the game or media itself.

-- The stage play is super cute and has a lot of charm. I understand 100% why people swear by it. Unfortunately Sakuya Shiomi is not my guy. He's essentially the "I don't care" machine.

Game Hero does say it often, but it's kind of Sakuya's only thing and eh. Not for me. He's a little too uncaring a callous in a lot of situations. It gets to a point where I'm watching and I go "Woah, what the hell Sakuya?". He feels mean for the sake of being mean. In a lot of aspects stageplay Sakuya mirrors movie Makoto in the ways they're characterized and the reasons I don't appreciate them as much.

-- The drama cds are one of my favorite favorite favorite bits of Hero characterization in supplemental material. I really like how Hero interacts with everyone. He's sort of led around, does things that people ask him to do, has a bit of bite, and banters well with his teammates. Probably my favorite alongside-

-- The manga characterizes Minato in a similar way to how the drama cds characterize Hero. It's probably why I find myself enjoying their two takes on him more so than others.

He's sweet, kind, caring, a little floaty and keeps to himself while still going out of his way to help others. Even if this means he's uncomfortable. Man man man the way he interacts with Yukari and Aigis are so sweet, you can tell he really cares. Although I do have a couple of complaints.

Manga Minato Arisato isn't really mean. He doesn't bite, doesn't self isolate. He's a little too palatable. He's sleepy and unobtrusive. People don't really have any issues with him, he's just a bit of a normal guy. Odd in only the smallest of ways. This leads to manga Minato being off put by every supernatural thing happening, he even runs from Death. Not to say I don't believe he's not scared of it, but manga Minato doesn't find comfort in these things period. On the 31st he sees Thanatos and accepts him because he's Ryoji and they were friends. Not because he deeply loves or even likes Thanatos. He doesn't have that deep connection to the unknown.

-- I haven't finished Q or Q2, they're not my style of game. But from the things I've seen It's just same old same old "I don't care" machine. Spinoff games and their tendency to flanderize the characters because it has to appeal to the widest audience possible will never appeal to me. So yeah..

Hope this answers your question though! Also hope it's okay I didn't go too far in depth with all of them. Realized while typing the Ryoji ask game that if I spend that long on every ask I may just die.

My recent mommy anons got me thinking (which is very hard right now because of them in the best possible way) and now I'm imagining just laying in bed with all of them and feeling them touch me so lovingly as they tell me how cute and smart i am, but i dont need to think anymore and they just want me to relax for them while they make me feel good. Feeling their cocks against my lips and pussy, mindlessly drooling as they take turns using my holes, calling me their pretty little pet, telling me what a good girl I am for taking them so obediently and helping them feel so good too.

I think there's no greater indication that disco elysium is sympathetic towards communism when it literally says "communism is failure" and then the literal gameplay itself rewards trying and failing. The most obvious one being the Shivers check at the FELD mural, which is an Impossible 20 check BUT opens itself up again and again the longer you spend in the world doing things, but even just looking at sheer probabilities, for any given white check, rolling first and THEN putting a point into that skill upon failure is more likely to grant you success than putting a point first and then rolling, but that would require failing first.

Other things too: Precarious world saying you'll 100% fail red checks no matter what (not necessarily a bad thing, btw!! throwing the boule into the sea is a success but like. in some other ways one would want a perfect petanque throw instead. but people wouldn't typically assume that failure is desirable sometimes from the start) persuading you to accept that you'll fail some things that is irrevocable, for a world where everything is just a tiny bit easier.

The faux game over screen when you faint after reading Dora's letter— emulating a sense of failure on the scale of the entire game. When it rolls up most people go "What?? Game over?? No way, what did I do wrong!!" and waking up after that, with no huge or lasting impact on Harry's health or morale really tells the player, "Sometimes things will seem so bad that it all seems like it's coming to an end, but it's not the end, it's really not the end, go drink so water, you can still go on despite this failure"

I'm sure there are other things as well that are eluding me but like. The literal gameplay rewards failing and succeeding far more so than simply succeeding every single time, and I think you get a fuller experience of Elysium that way too

you get used to it, but it's tiring, because they need you to understand your own life as a series of goalposts. what college are you going to, what's your major going to be, whatcha gonna do with that, oh where will you settle down, when can i expect grandkids.

for the longest time my goals have been so blurry that they track into each other, their undefined edges slipping quietly back into the soft night. today i want to be a writer; tomorrow i will want to be a doctor, later i will wish i took that law school free ride. how the fuck do people just know what they want to do with their life?

where do you want to be in five years? i want to be alive; which is a huge step for me. ten years ago i would have said i want to be asleep and meant i hope that i'm dead by then.

but i want a yellow kitchen and a stand mixer. i want a garden and a fruit tree (cherry, if i can make that happen) and a big yard for my dogs to play in. i want to come home and read poetry out loud to someone and have them close their eyes to listen. i want a summer watergun fight. i want to make snowmen. i want to be the house to go to for halloween. i want my life to settle around me in a softness, for it to lay down gently. if i am very, very, very lucky, i want to travel; finally go someplace overseas.

of course i don't know what i want to be doing professionally. what i actually want to be doing is curling up beside my dog, settling in to read. i want to be making myself a cup of good coffee.

i can't answer the other questions. whenever people asked me what do you want to be when you grow up, i used to say i hope i'm happy.

i hope i'm still kind, five years from now. i hope i never get jaded and mean. i hope i have stayed in therapy. what do you picture yourself doing? when will you actually be an adult about this? why are you so afraid of being ambitious?

am i not ambitious? the other day i rearranged my furniture which doesn't quite fit into my apartment. i watered my plants. i'm going to try to propagate a cherry seed. my five year goal is to spend more time laughing. to lie down in a patch of sunwarm moss. to relax for a minute. to close my eyes and think oh thank god. this is why i stayed. this is finally it.

It is WILD to me how many people just loudly broadcast their intention to scab, as if that isn't the fastest way to brand yourself as someone who will throw anyone else to the wolves in an industry that runs on collaboration, so every writer say it with me

Hello, hope y'all are doing well! (^^)/ Wanted to make a quick post to let y'all know that my annual January curse has breeched containment and I'm currently in the middle of organizing sudden household repairs and unexpected medical appointments and miscellaneous stress sgdfgh-- 🫠 All that to say: no new video this week while I'm stuck grappling with all of the above sgdfksfd -- but here's a doodle of Heartless in the meantime! I wanna figure out a more solid design for his ghouls 🤔👻

proportionally, to a 6000-year-old, 4 years is about the equivalent of 12 days to a 50-year-old

they had (what felt like) 12 days of freedom

I saw comments that the new butler from Ridekamens look like Sebek

He...kinda does

I wasn't gonna say it, but. that was kind of my first thought when he was revealed. :') maybe this is what Sebek's older brother is doing these days? he ran off to buttle for secret agents at a superhero cafe? actually wait that would be rad as heck, I'll accept this headcanon

Building on the favourite animal ask, another Very Important Question: favourite PREHISTORIC animal? And why? (I've always loved gorgonopsids and pterosaurs like anurognathus, but a new favourite is aquilolamma the eagle shark. They're just very cute).

I feel like my top favorites are pretty pedestrian, but I like prehistoric deer a lot!

Megaloceros giganteus aka Irish elk

Sinomegaceros ordosianus & Sinomegaceros yabei

Eucladoceros dicranios

Cervalces scotti

ANOTHER SKETCH DUMP! Featuring more of me playing with lineless art. Batman reborn era trio (dick, damian and steph) I miss you...when will you return from war. Also featuring Steph designs bc I've seen ppl dissatisfied w/ her current look, some good mom Talia, and Jason Todd poetry club. Duke is confused not that Jason would start a poetry club but that he'd have such mid poetry opinions. (ID in Alt)
