anakin gets criticized for being too greedy but honestly the things anakin wants are often like. "for my loved ones to be safe" "to be around people that like me and are nice to me" "to be respected as a person"… he’s not really asking for much

hannah-snow

oh, and anakin wants power, but it's usually to do things like 'the power to help other people'. have we all not noticed the guy isn't interested in ruling the galaxy himself. he wants love in a way that becomes possessive but. wanting love in and of itself is perfectly natural normal and good.

Okay I found a way to infinitely stack smolivs and lotads without filling your dash with them.

It really is smolivs all the way down...

Lotads too...

(These are the first gifs i've ever made, but i'm super happy with how they turned out. The smoliv one took like 2 hours to make because i messed up the scaling twice)

some bozo with the username laundryguy47 keeps jumping in to all my Halo matches and ruining them. what he does is he turns them into some kinda laundry RP. ok, listen, what i mean is, when he joins the game he gets on mic and tells everyone to go to a certain spot on the map and pretend like its a coin operated laundromat and we're all doing laundry there. and they just do it. everybody stops killing eachother like you're supposed to in the game and they go pretend to do laundry for the whole match. nobody even questions it, they all just do it like thats normal. but that's not normal. its sickening and it cant be allowed to continue

amazoogle

some of the sessions have been kinda fun though i gotta say. there's actually quite a bit more depth to pretend laundry than you might think. lately ive been experimenting with pretending to use fabric softener

it seems there were more than just laundryguys

Eridians dont know about time relativity and people are NOT talking about it enough imagine sending a person on a dangerous mission like 70 years ago and when they finally come back and they look like they only aged 10 of those years and tell you "oh yeah time just works different there" when you have no concept of that that is INSANE rocky explaining radiation to eridian scientists (already insane concept) and going "oh yeah btw time works differently in space" "what" "time works differently in space. what we thought would be a 16 years trip was only a 4 year trip for me, the solarians call it something like time-depending-of-position-in-space, is pretty trippy" "....WHAT"

Still in awe of how well the D&D movie mimicked the feeling of D&D without doing anything as tediously literal as a "sitting around the table" framing device. The way some characters have names that sound like names a DM improvised on the spot, the sudden appearance and disappearance of a overpowered DM NPC for a single dungeon, the way they used the fact that characters can plausibly just mess up for no clear reason to escalate action scenes...that was cinema

Also the tragic backstories that clash noticeably with the goofy tone of the actual movie and are related in full at inopportune moments. And the fact that the DMPC is the only one with a backstory even SLIGHTLY connected to the main plot. Plus the fact that every character is a subtle representation of a DND player trope - Edgin is an extensive roleplayer who barely even uses his bard abilities and just talks his way out of every situation he finds, Holga is a wargamer who's just here to kick monster ass and barely talks about her character (to the point that her tragic backstory comes completely out of nowhere as though the DM shoved it in), Simon is a newbie who doesn't really know how the game works and has picked the most complicated class there is to start off with, and Doric is a rule-of-cool action hero who thinks the limitations on wild shape are Dumb and Stupid and the DM begrudgingly indulges her because what she does is in fairness much cooler.

I think part of the charm is that the characters are all ludicrous but feel really earnest, nobody’s, for the most part, stopping to give the screen a Bug’s Bunny look, and when they quip it doesn’t feel like it deflates the tension.

I actually went back to rewatch the Themberchaud scene, and the delivery is such an important part, sure they joke about Themberchaud being so overweight, “That’s one pudgy dragon,” “did he eat the last one?”

But they actually do sound panicked making their jokes, and the quips come from the barbarian, who generally stays calm under pressure, and their bard, who realistically feels like he’s using humor to keep his head.

Seriously, compare their delivery to Ultron and Ironman joking about omelettes, it’s like night and day.

And once the chase starts, that’s it for jokes, he may visually be comedic but the characters are taking Themberchaud 100% seriously as a threat. The next spoken joke isn’t until the very end, and it’s not any of the characters making a joke! It’s just two characters being funny in the way their personalities interact.

They feel like real people, they get fed up with finicky magic, like the helmet not working and the speak with dead rule, they fuck up regularly, they come up with inane plans, it’s fun.
