i think i wouldn’t hate disco elysium’s collage mode nearly as much if it weren’t for 1) the way that it was marketed in such a tasteless, soulless manner, let alone the fact that it was a last ditch distraction from a dead on its feet studio piloted by dumbass thieving execs and released on the day of the court declaration, and 2) those dumbass fucking stickers
like if it had been included with the base game from the start and had been titled something a bit more tasteful and in-line with how i would have liked the feature to be marketed as— something like “exploration mode”, something that perhaps could only be unlocked after completing the game for the first time, AND didn’t have those stupid as hell visually and tonally incongruent with the artstyle stickers, i would have applauded it as a nice little bonus for being able to study and appreciate the 3d models and environments for reference.

favorite relationship (non romantic or otherwise) in the hp canon? one thing I love about lionheart is Harry and hermione’s friendship - criminally overlooked in the books imo pidgeonholing hermione into only the “nagging mum” role for so much of it ! these two are siblings!
interesting parameters! my favorite non-romantic relationship in canon is ron and harry, actually. i think that hermione has great friendships with both of them, but the sheer intensity of the bond between ron and harry is unmatched anywhere outside romantic pairings in the books. harry latches onto him basically at first sight and imprints like a baby goose, and goes, "excellent, at last, a Friend; i will now spend all of my time and attention on you Forever." what's that? hungry you say? sad you say? i will buy you All The Food. then draco "definitely homeschooled" malfoy rocks up with his hilariously incompetent friend overtures and harry says right that's cool, but you threw shade at ron, so you can fuck right off forever. i've had this weird little ginger in my life for less than a day and if anything happens to him i'd kill myself. bye.
and ron drinks! it! up! because he's never had it! he's never been First for someone before, and he LOVES it! and he responds by becoming an instant ride-or-die for harry. that's not a reading, either, that's straight up text: in book 3, ron says, verbatim, "if you want to kill harry, you'll have to kill me." and he's thirteen!! takes him about five minutes to get there, too — in the ten weeks they've known each other before christmas break, eleven-year-old ron weasley tells his MOM about his new cool friend, and whatever he writes is so glowingly effusive that molly knits harry a goddamn family sweater (if you knit, you Know) without having stone cold met the kid! not to mention — ron (at eleven! eleven years old, ron weasley!) decides to pass up his only chance to see his parents until june, not to mention missing his family christmas, so he can stay at hogwarts and keep harry company! because harry potter will never be lonely if ron weasley can help it!!
basically. ron and harry are the original platonic soulmates. they ARE the catherine-heathcliff "he's more myself than i am" dig-up-his-grave-so-you-can-lie-in-it type of love. they are each other's destiny and each other's choice.

- oh coop, um, about the uniform…
- yes, albert?
- replacing the quiet elegance of the dark suit and tie with the casual indifference of these lesbian outfits… it’s a form of fashion suicide but umm… call me crazy… on you, it works!

Lmao polyamory organization slammed riverdale for portraying the polyamory relationship between the characters as a twist and surprising moment rather than portraying it as something that are part of their lives and natural progression. In that case you guys should watch ST where the gay ship is written as a secretive plot twist.
well if they reveal that mike and will have been together for the past year in a two-minute montage in the finale i'll call the gay organizations myself

ok so I've seen quite a handful of nbc hannibal fans say that the og red dragon book is not that interesting just because there's not enough "dialogue" or content between hannibal and will and this shit fucking INFURIATES me like no other. As much as I am a HUGE hannigram enthusiast, I still think that these kinds of comments are fucking insane honestly, (especially coming from fannibals!) because it's originally written as a crime/procedural novel and NOT as an in-depth analysis novel about Hannibal and Will's dynamic (as goes for the rest of the Thomas Harris novels).
Though there are still underlying "hannigram" implications in the book just from their dialogues together, it really just only shows how much more depth can be gotten out from their relationship, which is clearly grown to its fullest potential in the nbc series. But it still doesn't guarantee that the source content would be exactly parallel to what was inspired by it, and if you didn't like the book just because of the “lack” of hannigram content then I suggest you to go read fanfics instead because the original Red Dragon book is of more worth than your fandom mindset or whatever LMFAO.
Obviously it is not gonna be like the series because just to be frank, the show is just basically fanfic made canon (in the absolute best way possible) LMAO and it is basically written out as a hybrid version of their original Red Dragon dynamic and Clarice and Hannibal's relationship in TSOTL and Hannibal (the book). But saying that the original source material is dull or bland just because you watched the series first just means that you didn't completely understand how the show came to be and the complexity with hannibal and will's relationship.
So to all the nbc hannibal fans out there who are planning to read the red dragon book and the Thomas Harris novels, don't expect their relationship in it to be exactly explicit just like how the show portrays and just because it isn't, doesn't mean that the book is "uninteresting" or "dull". It just means that you're a rigid reader and you didn't get the entire point of the novel and the basic foundation to the series you know and love. Thank you for listening.
