shoutout megalobox. favorite anime of all time. legit the first anime i felt the need to buy merch of because it was so fuckign good. that poster is still on my wall today.

[whim513]

if yall need an anime to watch i HIGHLY recommend megalobox its SO good and it makes me unbelievably emotional. There are two seasons, season two is devastating and completely unnecessary but i love it with all my heart. Its so underrated and the show makes me ill 10/10

Phone just tried to suggest dagger botherhood??? Off brand dark brotherhood where you just mildly inconvenience people???

[smorgasbort]

An elder scrolls quest where you think you’ve joined the dark brotherhood but you’ve actually joined an off-brand knockoff pretending to be legit would be actually great.

Then later on, members of the not-so-dark brotherhood end up getting offed by REAL clandestine operators and the player character starts to smell a rat.

Maybe you jump ship and abandon the imposters to join the real thing. Maybe you kill the real dark brotherhood before they kill you. Maybe in so doing the latter option, you manage to elevate the offbrand band of hired killers into an actually effective intelligence and assassination operation worthy of the title.

this killed me and no one in my life plays morrowind so I'm sharing it here. It's also criminally underrated.

Mother morrowind as akatosh/auri-el/etc for the @tes-gala <3 the dress is heavily inspired by the mugler hummingbird dress(hopefully this gives dragon instead,,,)

[tes-gala]

[IMAGE ID: digital art of Almalexia from Morrowind, wearing a dragon version of the Manfred Thierry Mugler La Chimère Gown from 1997. The dress is tight fitting with green and gold scales all around, with long hanging sleeves in reddish-orange scales. Gold dragon horn-like pauldrons, with a large red crystal-like ornament on her chest. Adorning her head is a green crown with gold dragon horns. Behind her head is a golden halo and in her one hand is a sword.]

[HERE] is the inspiration. What an amazing choice!

it's kinda difficult to talk about "cozy games" because that's an aesthetic and not a genre so its very broad, is it cozy to de clutter an apartment or go on a hike, is it cozy to be action packed or melodramatic or blithely unconfrontational, etc. but I think it's accurate to say that coziness is one of many shorthands that have been developed as an attempt to opt out of ideology, be about nothing. of course with a game made to evoke comfort comes a proclamation of what the author's society considers comfy

[patricia-taxxon]

witch finding a lost cat in the alps was a cultural turning point, cus she spelled that out. expressly pointedly de-politicizing a text, replacing it with a generalized intentionally generic vibe that is implicitly assumed to be outside of politics for its genericism. taking a white protagonist in a text willing to ruminate on race and power & replacing it with a white protagonist who is white cus it's a fantasy setting and we know what those are supposed to be like, the two races are white and political

[patricia-taxxon]

people are misunderstanding this very slightly. "cozy" games CAN be political, in fact the thing i was trying to say is that they must be political, and in trying to make something distanced from politics and "the real world" you can extremely easily end up making something unintentionally revealing. depictions of people are political, depictions of landscapes are political, abstraction is political because it is not simply a defiance of representation but a broadening of scope and influence and a narrowing of metaphor towards medium.

Redesign of Mephala in male and female versions🕷

I thought about it for a long time, and now I have created a redesign of Mephala. I will gradually work on references for the entire triad.
