smoshblr valentine's exchange → damien & angela + nothing by bruno major for @waltzintheforest
happy valentine's day!! i hope you enjoy this lil mv i put together. i had so much fun making it; this is one of my favorite songs and it reminded me so much of them. <3
one thing i will never forgive the ace attorney fandom for is the severe mischaracterization and fanonization of manfred von karma. they turned him into an evil harmful abuser and it just makes a weaker narrative overall to me. i dont have any problem with it just being a headcanon because people are allowed to have whatever the fuck they want even if i dont like it but No its considered to be Canon and anyone who likes this character is Bad and its like Babe there is so many other things to hate this man over why do you choose one that is never shown in the games besides Once and that turned out to be a mistranslation and is also from a game that commonly mischaracterized its characters. what are you talking about.
you know what you CAN hate this man over? he was the one that people respected and adored, the one that was considered to be a god amongst prosecutors. he may be cold, stand-offish and a perfectionist, but miles knew he at least cared about him and was his main source of comfort when he needed it. he never knew that he was the one who killed his father and changed his life forever. he never knew that the person that gave him this much love and comfort was the person who made him scared of earthquakes to the point he'd passed out and made him always persistent on taking the stairs. the person who he hugged and cried into the shoulder of being the man who changed it all for the worse.
and for what? because he was a coward. he got scared when his perfect record has it's first penalty - and it wasn't even a loss. he still won. he could've moved on with his life and pretended it never happened. he was still respected amongst prosecutors despite it, after all, it wasn't his fault. yet he just couldn't help it. it was opportunistic and uncalculated. he was filled with such guilt and regret to the point he took in his victim's own son and raised him like his own. knowingly allowed him to cry into his shoulder and told him that it was going to be okay, he's here and that's all that matters when he was the one who took that gun and shot him.
and then people Hate him not because of all of that but because he is an Evil Abuser And Doesn't Regret What He Did At All Because He's Just That Evil.
today on "extremely depressing conversation routes most of us will never see bc we're incapable of being cruel to video game characters": you can force astarion to become part-illithid in horrifying fashion, stripping him of the bodily autonomy he's potentially spent 3 acts building.
first off, i believe you get these options after transforming into a part-illithid yourself? if you let astarion take it first, he's actually eager to take it bc he doesn't fully understand what it does and, well... he's stupid (affectionate) like that. if you take it first and then later approach him about it, he'll have a better idea about the transformation it entails and refuse before you can even ask the question:
at this point, you have two options to "convince" him to change his mind.
option #1: force him to relive his memory of being entombed alive by cazador for an entire year and imply it will happen again unless he transforms.
option #2: roll to intimidate him by implying that you'll do worse to him than cazador if he doesn't accept.
on a successful roll for either of these options, the outcome is the same:
you break astarion into going through with it against his will. like i said, horrifying :(
Hey!! Do you happen to know what the setlist was for Wembley? I remember Bloodsport was added on at the end. I am sorry to bother you with this, but I am wary of doing any google search with the phrase "Sleep Token" in it for fear of finding things I do not want to know.
Hello Anon 🙏🖤 Thanks for the ask. Yes! I do know the setlist, I've got it below for you. Google is an absolute minefield. Out of curiosity, I googled "Sleep Token Vessel" and his unmasked visage graced my eyes in the first row of results 😩So I understand when people are wary of searching for Sleep Token in general. Feel free to use me as an imitation Google whenever you need, I don't mind (I'm just not as quick and a bit more prone to tangents).

The interludes played were not verbal messages but birdsong and nature sounds, according to those who attended the ritual. There's also a rumor that Blood Sport was a last-second decision made by Vessel, as one of the security had been heard saying, "They decided to do another song," into a radio/earpiece by someone near the barrier. If this is true, I feel like it was less of a spontaneous "Oi! Let's play Blood Sport!" and more of a vocal issue with Vessel, where the band maybe decided to skip the second encore after he lost his voice, but then he decided he could sing one more song nearer the end of the setlist.
Also, Vessel thanked the crowd (twice) before Blood Sport.
i had to take a moment to highlight the phenomenal cosplay music video "Life is Strange | Spanish Sahara" by @Cacophonyanddiscord. The acting, editing, storytelling and of course the cosplay are stunning, and Victoria and Kate's journey to reconciliation set alongside Max's heroic efforts are heartbreaking and breathtaking all at once. I strongly recommend you give it a watch if you haven't seen it yet!
being called misogynistic for not liking rop galadriel because people instantly assume it's the warrior part that I have a problem with is CRAZY.
bestie, buddy, my rotten soldier, trust me when I tell you that warrior/fighting women make 80% of my favorite female characters in fantasy. the problem isn't the warrior part, it's the everything else.
