I don't need someone to match my freak; I need someone to complement my freak. Accentuate and accent my freak. Plus, we gotta diversify our freak portfolio here -- combine our efforts to cover the greatest amount of freakage instead of seeking freak redundancy.
a few years back my car insurance company offered me a discount if i stuck a dongle in my car that would tell them how i drive (specifically reporting hard accelerations and stops), with a base discount of 10% even if i drive like a madman up to 40%ish if i drive like a grandma. and of course naturally my first thought was "huh i bet i could make something running off an Arduino that filters hard brakes and accelerations out of the incoming data stream to get that 40% discount" and i got as far as looking up OBD2 protocols before realizing that that would just be insurance fraud. yes im an engineer raised by two engineers how could you tell
you could also try driving safer. that's a better way to do that

I must say, your particular brand of horny on main makes me wish we were sacrificed on neighboring altars so I could share a last, understanding look with you.
i'm aromantic but this almost makes me want to reconsider

In my experience, horror fans are by and large lovely people with a very healthy relationship to their genre of choice, but sometimes they fuck up and say something that in their ears sounds very affirmative of the movie of discussion and to everyone else sounds like the most sinister shit.
I mean the line that I think of first is “A kid dies in this movie.”
Which I suspect to horror fans is shorthand for “The director of this movie subverts horror tropes (wherein kids are usually immune to the monster/slasher/source of terror) to make something that is deliberately shocking. Seeing a child character die in this story is not a happy thing or a good thing, but for a horror story emphasizes that nobody is immune to the source of the terror, which makes the horror more serious and scarier.”
And to everybody else just sounds like “Oh this movie’s great! A kid dies in it!”
I think that if you want relationships depicted in your fiction – whether primary media or fan-work – to be emotionally compelling, there's really no getting around the fact that one of the most compelling relationship dynamics in fiction is "hey, wouldn't it be fucked up if".
And I don't just mean "one of them is clearly taking advantage of the other" type relationships, either. There's a whole spectrum of upfuckery to explore, including (but not limited to):
Each of them thinks they can fix the other, but really they're just enabling each other's worst impulses
Sticking together no matter what because no matter how bad they are for each other, the terror of the unknown is worse
You're pretty sure staying in this relationship constitutes a form of wilful self-harm; for whom is genuinely unclear
They actually just straight up hate each other, but each regards the other as the only one who Gets It
They're perfectly happy together, but the way they play off of each other is harmful to literally everyone around them
The thing they do with the dragons in ffxiv is that the sheer oppressive size of them hides the fact that Nidhogg and Hraesvelgr have these pathetic neurotic personalities that would seem completely absurd if they weren't huge, and then they show you some well adjusted dragons and you realise they're just absurd, period. Hraesvelgr is depression-nesting in his room until you bring his DAD to come YELL AT HIM to deal with his rampaging brother that is what happens in heavensward
Nidhogg yells across the steps of faith YOUR WIFE'S A HOE and his brother tries to throw him off a bridge THAT HAPPENS
YOUR MAID IS VILE AND YOU SHOULD FEEL VILE
Actually I'm not leaving Vrtra out of this discussion, everyone in the tags is talking like he's the only normal one in this family but he age regresses into a homunculus body to cope. He's a Vtuber
#the thing with vrtra is that he has a job #like he's definitely as unhinged as the others #but he can't just. afford to go on a millenia-long EpisodeTM #because he has to clock in at his job of secret-ruler-of-a-whole-state every day #much like g'raha in that regard. they're insane but do they have the TIME to express it? no. #there's work to be done #not EVERYONE can be a histrionic unemployed with main character syndrome you see (x)
so you’re saying nidhogg should have gotten a job
There are few hills I will die on, but I have one very specific one regarding the Naruto fandom: Kakashi Hatake reads Icha Icha for the plot.
Man is convinced that Jiraiya penned the finest prose into a literary masterpiece.
the day people learn that "villain" and "antagonist" are different things is when I will finally know peace
the WoL, after returning from Pandaemonium: “Hey Thancred! Despite your mistakes you’re a much better father than Lahabrea was.”
Thancred: “Thank you my friend. I may not have always done right by Ryne, but I’m sure hey what the fuck do you-”
#ffxiv#endwalker spoilers#I think he would sit down with popcorn and a beer and enjoy the fuck out of hearing about Lahabrea’s cringefail past#utter catharsis#he’s a changed man now :) (prev tags)
I BEAT BLOODBORNE BITCHES
there’s an agenda at play
from her autobio comics:
#on a darker level #being from Hokkaido means she has reason to be personally invested in the Ishbal annihilation #because Hokkaido is stolen land #like a lot of other places colonized in the last few hundred years #if you’re sensitive to this kind of thing #it gives you a personal stake #in genocide stories #that most Japanese people don’t have #>> #idk i felt the way she handles the genocide #speaks to having been aware of that #from a formative age (via whetstonefire)
Those tags are 100% right and Arakawa has confirmed that it was intentional in an interview as she has family that are part Ainu.
So her family history definitely had a role in how she presented the genocide in FMA.
