Mythology geek that needs an outlet for my ramblings and validation from internet strangers.

[dorothygale123]

OH THANK GOD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW THE TWILIGHT VIBES IN THIS SCENE

[dorothygale123]

Next week on Spy x Family: Loid gets what he deserves.

[dorothygale123]

OKAY SO I HAVE THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS WEEKS SPY X FAMILY CHAPTER

First is the vulnerability Yor showed when the terrorist fanboys were trying to pressure her.

This woman can punch through solid steel but she still got really nervous about having a stranger in her personal space, and I love that.

Then there's Loid.

Not only does he calmly step in front of a gun and put on basically Twilight-face when she gets threatened, he's genuinely concerned for her.

This is his "I will protect my wife by any means necessary" face and I love it. He KNOWS she's strong. He KNOWS she can handle herself in most situations. But he also know this one is totally outside her comfort zone and she needs his help.

No Yor, that it's it at all. It's so much better! Jealousy or thoughts of another man don't even cross his mind, Loid is thinking only of you and how to make sure you're comfortable! He's upset at the situation because it upsets YOU!

I just love this so much, send help.

And finally a little growth on Yuri's end.

Even setting aside that he tried to sub in Loid for the other actor to make Yor more comfortable (which is HUGE, and I'm so proud of him for rising up to basic human decency) he worked together with Loid to protect his sister and improved their relationship! Not by much, but it's always baby steps with this psycho. He's learning!

Anyway, thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

Millie shooting her shot 😂❤️

[dorothygale123]

I think you mean shooting her gatling gun, cuz girl just keeps mowing down any opposition.

[derpy-the-tiger]

They're so cute <3

Love their blushs

[dorothygale123]

But what if the arc ends with Loid and Yor kissing on national television, though

[dorothygale123]

Ironically, I think these idiots are going to be LESS disruptive to Loid and Yor's date than Yuri is. On an unrelated note, I'm sure Yuri will be totally fine with a group of terrorists threatening his sacred sister and won't go off the handle at all.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

SHE'S BAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!

Turbo Granny my beloved, HOW I'VE MISSED YOU!!!!!!!!

Crunchyroll is about to make #anime worse for EVERYONE

[dorothygale123]

So, this game is currently on sale for 5 bucks in the Nintendo eStore

It's beautiful, chill, and, I repeat, FIVE DOLLARS. It's a short game, but for that price? Well worth the price of admission. If you have a Switch or Switch 2, please go get it. You'll be doing yourself a favor.

[dorothygale123]

Been playing Vergil's campaign in DMC 3 and secret mission 12 took me OVER AN HOUR.

VERGIL, HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO THIS WHEN WE BOTH SUCK AT PLATFORMING?!

DANTE COULD DO THIS IN HIS SLEEP!

THIS IS WHY MOMMY DIDN'T LOVE YOU.

[dorothygale123]

Going through DMC 3 now (I didn't play 2 because I play games to have FUN) and it's great. I'm glad I played 1 first, though. 3 just had so many little QoL fixes that make it more fun to play, and I think if I had gone from 3 to 1 I would've been frustrated that some of them weren't there, like being able to replay any mission any time. I do miss being my beloved 'spam shotgun' strat being nerfed, though....

[dorothygale123]

I finished Devil May Cry 1, but failed to beat the true villain of the game....

The camera.

[dorothygale123]

Update on my DMC playthrough: I hate Nightmare more than I hate Vergil (I refuse to call him by his slave name). He keeps eating me and my 'spam shotgun' strat has no effect. Gonna need to drown this thing in Holy Water.

[dorothygale123]

Playing DMC 1 for the first time, and my cat does not like the explosions Trish is making in Dante's office. I think the rumble of my switch disturbs him, lol.

Nayru --> hylia ( Daughter ) she misses her

Din --> Demise ( Son ) not anymore….

I know it's not canon but I like creating stories 😭

[dorothygale123]

But have you considered....
