calling ppl "larpers" to insinuate theyre fake fans of smth/poorly pretending to be smth is so fucking stupid cuz. tell me u have never met a real LARPer without saying u have never met a real LARPer. those guys care. they are fucking locked in dude. like LARP is a lifestyle its a commitment they care so much. they're not fake nerds either like fake nerds just repost LOTR gifsets and talk about how nerdy they are for being into like, fucking batman and stuff. LARPers know their shit. they read the whole Silmarillion. they know who Ambush Bug is. like get LARP's name out of your fucking mouth

It's nice that loud noises don't stick to clothes like smells do. That would be really bad if they did.

It feels like I’ve talked about this before, but to me the funniest version of Portal is if Chell is deaf.

Like, most of the major story beats, at least the ones that directly affect her, have a prominent visual component so she’s following along with the basics. But she has no idea who cave johnson is, or what wheatley was trying to explain to her, and she certainly wasn’t hurt by any of glados’ insults.

but the best part of this headcanon is imagining glados checking chell’s personnel file years down the line, noticing the word “deaf” for the first time, and just going “WHAT???”

[emptyjunior]

Glados learning sign language so Chell can hear at least one of her excellent monologues and Chell just closes her eyes

Elysium has always been about the pre apocalypse. Also the post apocalypse but we never got to see We Are Vapor.

Its first trailer introduces itself with a '27 years before the end of the world,' the bombing of Revachol is an event set in stone in canon and we learn more about it in Sacred And Terrible Air. Ignoring that intent from the creators and arbitrarily blaming 'dumb westerners' for engaging with a core ethos of the work (that world will die, but it doesn’t give you an excuse to give up on it) (defeatist reactionary nihilism vs. hope) is simply disingenuous. Also disrespectful to other fans.

In Dark Times Should The Stars Also Go Out? is not some random happy thought. As the violence and pale consumes the world and closes around it, Vaasa eliminates light pollution.

Nothing seems to stop future projects with an ecological conscience there either. In the very last months, when the pale is creeping across the ocean towards Vaasa, the big dream of lobby groups against light pollution will come true. Industrial and commercial buildings turn off artificial lighting at the end of the working day, street lamps are shielded with special filters. As the first and last big city in the world in history, Vaasa completely loses light pollution. This is not only a measure against bomb raids, it also saves birds who might otherwise get lost in the city's maze of lights, and harbor seals whose mating rhythms get messed up from too long a day. You may laugh at this, but in the evening, when the big world behind swells into a bloody maelstrom, in Vaasa families come out into the street and are insignificant together. Only distant explosions disturb the deep peace of the winter night, its flawless starry sky. Everyone is watching, heads tilted back.
