Sometimes I'm like "damn I wish I had learned a useful hobby that keeps my hands busy but alas I never picked up (insert popular hobby of choice here, sewing, embroidery, weaving, knitting, crochet, macrame, beading, painting, whatever)" and then I remember that I consistently whip up the most amazing sauces, soups, potions, dressings, and other savory vegetarian dishes from scratch without a recipe because I've been following and adapting recipes for so long and slowly learning the chemistry and reasoning behind different cooking techniques such that I can play with them and refining them for my own tastes over fucking decades and I'm like. Oh. Maybe I did already accidentally have a hobby 😬
If you ship Scratch and Grounder (and are fully aware that they are honest to goodness twin brothers. Yes, in canon, they are not just siblings, but twins). Do us both a favour and block me. I refuse to interact with anyone who ship siblings!
I just wanna address this cause I was just made aware of it but if you're "tracking" Caitlin's private jet and her whereabouts... you're basically stalking her so maybe don't?
i will continue reading elderlings bc the large-scale plot is interesting & i am compelled by fitz's misery but hobb kind of sucks at maintaining longterm inter-character dynamics. & it's not that fitz's worldview is warped by being fortune's favored chewtoy; it's that other characters see this guy all mangled & covered in fate's saliva & are like "it won't work out between us, you never call"
despite its willingness to have you mow down hundreds of faceless mooks veilguard is somehow really hesitant to let you actually kill anyone with a face and a name
the theatre industry believes the pinnacle of diversity is adaptations where the female love interest is of color instead of white originally but won't do anything about 95% of leads being white men
So my brother is playing Alan wake 2 for the first time and I had a thought.
There are a handful of "real" people in the Dark Place. (i.e. people we see there physically or have other confirmation they are there in person and not a writing thing) We have
2) Alice: Same
1) Alan: Brought in by jumping into Cauldron Lake
3) Thomas Zane: Also entered into Cauldron lake, possibly by jumping
4) Mr Door: hit by lightning and transported. Also has powers that allow him to visit other places.
5) Tim Breaker: Brought in by Mr. Door
6) Ahti: Apparently also part of his powerset.
7) The Old Gods: walk in to Cauldron Lake to rescue Saga. One prevsiously dead member is with them.
8) Dr. Darling: turned into an interdimensional figure via Hedron, no longer has a phsyical body.
9) Saga: Thrown in by Scratch.
Which leaves us with one "person" left.
Alex Casey/Sam Lake.
And where do we end in The Final Draft?
Alex Casey in the writer's room after being possessed by Scratch/The Dark Presence.
Considering how much is spent on "time not only does not matter here but can happen before and after the 'present' time"....
I think something is going to happen in the DLC and Alex will either get stuck in TDP or choose to stay for whatever reason. Maybe to keep the ending as bitter sweet, to make sure the story goes correctly, or much like Alan to "pay a price" to help the others escape.
Hey may still get out later, but Alex does also get one more thing that only Alan and Saga (aka "very real"/protagonist characters) get.
