[truly-sincerely]

Obsessively reading everything in game by and about Gortash and the dude is

On a philosophical trajectory that ends in immortality thru technology / the machine

Doesn't have an original bone in his body, but he can backwards engineer anything

Halfway to being a decent scientist but doesn't have the education and is deeply impatient

Overconfident in the veracity of his own results and conclusions

Accurately predicted that the brain would metamorphose and become more difficult to control and then did nothing about it

Outsources his propaganda / arts and humanities

Charming, but he got there in a Pavlovian way (learned from trial and error and probably doesn't consciously know how he does it)

Vindictive af (learned / reinforced)

Darwinian (in the worst way)

Sociopathic, obviously, but extremely Rationalist about it

Never asks questions he doesn't know the answer to and probably thinks this makes him sound more authoritative

Completely incompetent as a strategist (but doesn't know it)

Not nearly as narcissistic / full of himself as he pretends to be

Thinks what he wants is praise but it's never enough because it's not actually what he wants (he wants to be wanted)

Bane makes him feel wanted (conditionally)

Durge made him feel wanted (unconditionally)

Understands intellectually that Durge got ambushed, but he feels abandoned

See also: thematic parallels between Gortash and

Silouv Yali (the Adamantine Forge & the construct Grym)

Oliver (in the shadow-cursed lands)

Astarion and Gale, obviously

[shima-draws]

Me? Drawing Tododeku for the first time since *checks calendar* APRIL of LAST YEAR???

Ok Aldous Huxley was right to say “consumerism drives the pursuit of pleasure and pursuit of pleasure then drives more consumerism and that turns all the world including people into objects defined by how much pleasure they can give you and thus objects to be optimized for pleasure even though the pursuit of pleasure really is a kind of tyranny of mediocrity” and he was mostly right to say “you can’t just escape it by glorifying suffering and hating anything that might give pleasure either because then you destroy good things and yourself”. So what was the deal with promoting psychedelic drugs as the answer irl after all that. After like a whole book about psychedelic drugs being bad and used to control people.

a handy reference

[catboygirljoker]

have you seen the Xigbar Eng VA lore https: //fxtwitter . com/xigithy/status/ 1281588372092473344?s=21

[ew i hate how the link pasted. whatever its fine]

wait thats so funny. id noticed that his delivery as xigbar seems to be a bit rougher than his natural speaking voice—is that why?? he was sick when he did the audition and they decided to keep that for his character voice? that rules. thank u for the Forbidden Lore

I wonder if it's a design choice or the devs themselves can't make up their mind, but why did Solomon's eye colour "change" in NB? The chibi sprites in the OG show his eyes are shades of grey to brown/almost gold-bronze.

The NB chibi sprite shows his eyes to be dark blue and brownish-gold.

Don't even get me started with the cards and merch that can't make up his effing eye colour

To my Solobesties (I'm calling Solomon stans this now. I think we formed a strange kinship after lesson 17 even if we never interact lmao), especially artist solobesties, hats off to you and your service to the community.

My personal HC is kinda a spoiler for uhhhh something I'm writing, but here it is:

"It's just…your eyes are like you: I can't figure them out." "MC, I-" "No! No! Solomon, I'm sorry! No…it's not like that, I promise! Look at me, won't you? Please look at me." So he did. His eyes trembled as he met with yours. How could he have hidden this part of himself for this long? How could you not notice? How could you forget? How could Father be so cruel to him and you for simply existing? You traced the corner of his lips with your thumb as you held him by the cheek. He was leaning onto your right hand, unable to maintain his gaze. He was surprisingly bashful. Adorably shy without his facades. But he looked like he would crumble even with a gentle word so you did not say anything. He looked at you expectantly, then looked away as your gaze burned onto him for too long and muttered, "You can't figure me out?"in almost a whisper, after a long-drawn out silence, weighing in his words, watching your expressions and body language. Afraid, so deathly afraid. You smiled. "It's like I'm looking at a mirror. Sometimes it's silver, sometimes it's midnight. When you look at the world around you and then look back at me, I feel like you've captured the sky and the oceans in your eyes. It's beautiful." His face was red all over, even to the tips of his ears. It was such a shame. You haven't even said everything you wanted to say to him yet. That he was the moon and the stars to your daytime; gold and silver gazes, looking after you from afar in the many branches of realities he couldn't be as honest with you as he was now. Ah. What will you do without him now? How can you give this up after remembering everything? You knew it was selfish, but you love him. Both of him. Every part of him just as much as he loved you and every part of you that existed. But now, you had to say goodbye. Again. How truly unfair.

[mysticalflowerblaze]

so I was watching a One Topic trans memes video and right before the video an ad came up that was basically just a bunch of people talking about how trans people are horrible and they will end the world. Does YouTube think I'm going to take this seriously? By the time the ad was over I was on the floor dying laughing.

[afamiliarsword]

idk fully why but I've started pointing upwards whenever somebody makes a point (a la some tiktokers) and it's been slowly evolving into a proud finger waggle of approval (a la some type of fucking nerd)

[pizzaqueen]

Eddie: Who’d win in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God?

Steve: uh, Lemmy?

Eddie: bzzzzt

Steve: …God?

Eddie: wrong again! Trick question! Lemmy *is* god

Steve: *sighs deeply*

Souldin's wonderful review of the Wii game; Endless Ocean! Premieres at 6AM BST on 17/1/2024!

Welcome to a review of the Touch Generation Nintendo IP, Endless Ocean. Dive down into the dark and mysterious depths of the Manauri Sea, encountering ancient structures and unfamiliar aquatic wildlife in this oddly relaxing experience.

[dirtyoldmanhole]

the true valla experience: running the fuck away from high level mobs of enemies until you're even more lost than ever lol

[tides-of-time]

Anyone else find it kind of fucked up and evil that if you want to be on the disability pension you're not even allowed to study over a certain number of hours a week

[saturnniidae]

I think American folklore is mad underrated when it comes to fantasy and horror

[bloobluebloo]

(Imagine if...)

Due to pristine record keeping, it is discovered that a previous marraige between the Gerudo people and the Hylian Crown makes Ganondorf, who has just been awakened from his [vague, any-game compliant] imprisonment, the Rightful Heir to the Hylian Throne.

Go off. ❤️

Bruh, this would be the smuggest victory that Ganondorf would ever secure. He would show up with his servants in all the most splendid Gerudo regalia and the pristine records in hand and request an audience with the sitting Hyrulean monarch. He would then very smuggly begin his victory lap speech with "So! About that whole divine right to rule thing your kingdom has going on..."

[icterid-rubus]

Sorry, not watching any more American media until we can get a hero who parries a tiger attack by launching the animal at someone else.
