My favorite scenes in the LotR books are the ones where Legolas has vital information and just decides it's not important to share.

Like when Gandalf spent literal PAGES trying to figure out why the vibes were off in Moria and Legolas chimes in with just "it's a balrog :) that shit's evil :) we're so fucked :)" like what do you MEAN you knew already and just didn't tell him??

Or at the beginning of Two Towers when Aragorn thinks there's something nearby so he puts his ear to the ground to listen, and then like 10 minutes later is like "hmmm i hear horses" and Legolas is just like "mm yep. there are 105 blond bitches with spears" like you just let your friend put his face in the dirt and you can SEE them??

Legolas please gain a sense of urgency

It's because legolas hasn't spent enough time with non-elves to remember that they don't know what he knows.

gandalf is scratching his head in moria, and legolas is thinking "oh man, the wizard noticed something off *besides* the obvious balrog that we all are aware of??"

"I wonder what aragorn is listening for? must be hard to hear, what with all of the horses. How many horses are there, actually? 1... 2... 3..."

"What do your elvish eyes see?" is Aragorn saying, as politely as possible, "Because the REST OF US are at a significant disadvantage, Prince Dipshit."

There's a "yuri war" event happening on /r/comics and it reminded me about this ancient anime lol

Someone needs to make "Yaoi under fire" where a military fujoshi girl falls in love with the disciplinary girl and then the cycle will finally be complete lol

ok i enjoy that sphene's commentary on the Zelenia fight was stuff like "oh she's about to do [x] thing! be careful!" whereas lumull on the Doomtrain fight spends the entire time going "what the fuck what the FUCK uhhhh what the fuck"

personal faves:

'turrets? uh.... good luck!'

'HIT IT HARDER'

man's going through it

I want to comment that at this point, this man’s city just went through chaos, and suddenly these groups of people waltz into your town, aids you in the damages aftermath, and then suddenly an alert that THIS thing is coming back to know, wreck havoc to your home and it’s bad. This thing had killed his parents and it’s out for more blood.

Then one of the stranger, the one you just met a while ago and shared drinks by the way, just hear this thing that’s never been stopped and went “Hell YEAH, I’ll go and fight that train! Wouldn’t be the first time I killed one!” (If you played the Omega Questlines)

Remember he just MET us, but no one else is going to fight that thing so WHY NOT?

Yeah you can get your buddies, the more the merrier, to fight this train, it’s called the Doomtrain by the way, and he will drive the transport for you while you duke it out with the train.

Now speaking of the train, I want to note this train likely sees us, and the train Lumull’s driving in a way that we are intruding in its territory.

Another train on its turf?! That’s a no-no. Of course it’s going to destroy it, only one train can ride the tracks and that’s this thing.

Note also he has to keep mainly focusing on ahead and can look back in times he can, so he is blindly trusting us that we can kill it while it knocks away the carts. He doesn’t know how strong we are, has no clue if this will really work because the outcome is he dies or probably his sister gonna kill him. What he has to lose? He’s terrified, this thing is a war machine that terrorized everyone and taken many loved ones.

Yet his ass is going to sit on that conductor’s seat, drive that train no matter what damages are taken, and pray the thunderous heavens you will succeed or die trying.

Dude has massive stones.

zenon up there as one of the funniest bait-and-switch characters i've ever seen. imagine hyping yourself up to meet hannibal lecter but when you get there it's doctor fucking doofenshmirtz

having finished all 3 endings in code vein 2, i can confidently say that zenon gryfgote is nothing like i expected him to be and it feels great to have my expectations shattered. i didnt watch any pre-release marketing, so i went in expecting another juzo mido.

instead i got a weeb wearing a RGB kimono who is an absolute goofball and a wifeguy and i think he might be my overall favorite character in both games (sorry josée)

gryfgote? more like gryfGOAT

I think this is the dumbest comic ive done lol

The gay marriage subplot in code vein 2 was very surprising but also incredibly sweet

You even get to win over the sister-in-law!

For a game that very clearly released because they ran out of budget, I wonder if they ever had plans for multiple romance paths and then just said 'fuck it, engagement rings and a love story for josée'

I've been streaming code vein 2 for @verdantiger and this is our main takeaway from the experience

One thing I love about Fields of Mistria is that there is a concrete reason why the player seems to be the one to "singlehandedly save the town." That reason being it is literally what the hero signed up for. The deal was that they'd get a farm in exchange for helping.

And even then, it isn't singlehanded--other townsfolk are noted in the background to also be doing their part and doing a lot of the labor once the necessary resources are gathered. For a few of the projects, pretty much the whole town is part of the cutscene helping to fix the issue.

It kind of reminds me of the approach taken in Roots of Pacha--the improvements come in the form of "ideas" that the villagers have, but need you to gather the materials so they can do things like experiment to bring that idea to fruition. And you're the one gathering the materials because everyone else is busy with whatever their role is in the village. But even then, the villagers are still shown doing a lot of the legwork for major improvements to the village itself.

...That, and it is acknowledged by multiple characters that some of the tasks you do--like mining--is due to a literal divine calling. So.

The world just casually informing us that 4chan is controlled by epstein's friends, the anti-trans hysteria that ramped up over the past 10 years is because of epstein, and also terf wizard author JKR is in the files.

yeah i like to give my blessing to the most pathetic looking weak little knight at the tournament. she can’t even look me in the eye when i give her my flower and she stutters out that she’ll do her best or something of the like. i think its funny when she has to cry and beg my forgiveness and i get to say “such a shame, i suppose my hand in marriage will have to go to someone else…” and then i get to hear her whimper like a dog. ive done this like 6 times alrea-

did she just win.
