Unraveled: Absurdly Comprehensive Game Lore Starters (pt.2)
Feel free to change pronouns/phrasing
Understanding Kingdom Hearts (and every other story):
“You sweet summer child. You babe swaddled in the cashmere blanket of ignorance.”
“YOU ASK TOO LITTLE OF ME.”
“Crossing the threshold. Or as true literary critics call it…boarding the gummi ship.”
“That’s a supreme ordeal.”
“That was pretty painless, don’t you think?”
“Once you’ve got that boy under your possession, time to get real into unethical science.”
“And now that you’re jazzed and ready to go, time to fail.”
“You do have to fail once, uh, in order to succeed later as a villain.”
“Guess what? It’s time travel time.”
“You’re either gonna win, or you’re gonna lose.”
Bowser’s Military Hierarchy:
“They come to me in my dreams like a prophet receiving visions from an angry god.”
“Knowledge is its own reward.”
“God has cursed me for my hubris, and my work is never finished.”
“What better way to show your dedication than to be literally shot from a cannon?”
“You can learn more about them in the HBO series, Band of Brothers. I assume. I’ve never watched the show.”
“They’re all pretty much invincible and they will crush you without hesitation.”
“Mario is a war criminal.”
“He already feels bashful!You didn’t need to pants the man!”
“Mario has committed at least 5 war crimes.”
“Now that that’s out of your system, I do need absolute silence.”
“Today, my peers will stop laughing at me. Today, they will start seeing me as a person who is worthwhile. Not someone who, in the words of my mother, puts “a lot of research into things that have very little meaning.“”
“Thank you for your service.”
“ Look, magnificent goals are worth the challenges it takes to reach them. You want to know where I learned that tasty morsel? From the original PokéRap.”
“My favorite Pokémon was Tangela. It’s just a tumbleweed and some Jordans. What’s not to love?”
“Things are only worth doing if you do them the most.”
“He, and I quote, said that he wanted me to give up something I loved. Which is legitimately a wild thing for an 8-year-old to request.”
“He could be in jail. HE CERTAINLY DESERVES TO BE.”
“I just tried to do some JoJo poses, did it work?”
“Now this might seem a little bit harsh, but that’s because you are viewing it through nostalgia goggles, and over the next five minutes I’m gonna take those off your face and replace them with the pragmatic transitions lenses of reality.”
“The rhymes. The flow. Are bad.”
“The only difference between me and a mid-2000s suburban mother is a few more trips to Nordstroms.”
“I’ll go on the record: I am not a rapper.”
“It’s kind of like if I bought 12 IKEA cabinets and then I used the pieces to build a Gundam.”
“Technically, I’m not wrong, okay?”
“If you’re gonna put me on blast, yes, I did musical theatre in high school, but I don’t think that counts for much, I didn’t do much after that.”
“They will fight to the death for your entertainment.”
“That’s right….INTERPRETIVE DANCE.”
“Why catch them all if you can’t keep the ones that you love?”
Which Dark Souls boss is the best manager?:
“I know how much it would disappoint my friends if I changed my appearance.”
“I’m not your friend, and you have no say over what I do with my body.”
“Have you ever thought about the term Boss in a video game before? Those terrible enemies have the same title as the people you’ll be working for, for the rest of your life! Haha, what a silly coincidence!”
“Let’s be honest, some really well-loved bosses are very bad leaders, and some really good leaders are SKEEZY AS HELL.”
“I booked the conference room for three, I need to get in there.”
“Manipulation gets you pretty far in business.”
“All of his plans sound more like schemes, BUT! He does know the bassist for Maroon 5 and they’ve been looking for someone with like really good hand dexterity and he’s noticed that you’ve got something good so if you want-”
“Dude, not everything has to be a test. This is a Game Stop.”
“He’s the type of guy who sends you an NSFW link at work and then reports you for clicking on it.”
“They are a power couple…that isn’t sanctioned by HR. They didn’t fill out the paperwork. It makes everyone very uncomfortable. There is a LOT of PDA and it is weird.”
“Dude, you gotta wear more than a loincloth to work.”
“Y'all, we have leftover shirts from the softball game, can you just go into the bathroom and put one of those on, please?”
“GET OUT OF THE HOT TUB!”
“You KNOW that this psych major is gonna replace you as soon as he graduates Yale.”
“Under no circumstances should you be in a work setting and described as GAPING.”
“I fully expect my boss to put me out of my misery when I stop being useful.”
“They constantly revive the other one when they die, and that’s a good boss. Also, relationship goals.”
“The best boss is you. And all of your dead friends.”
“Hey, yo, can I gape in here?”
