If The Tenth Doctor Turned Up Pathetic And Needy And Charming And Cute Like That And Also Kissed Me And

I redownloaded Twitter.

I'm going to do it, I'll out all the brilliant, profound notes on my half-assed, tired and pretentious ramble.

But first, a much-needed bit of context. I was vaguely aware of some of these, and I am guilty of focusing more on the voices myself. This is because I can do a bad drawing of an aspect of an amorphous bird man and it looks a lot better than if I mess up drawing a woman. I don't draw humans well.

Some extra things in other reblogs, I can see them all and others should too, these perspectives have shaped my own:

By the way, I like the Shifting Mound more than any other character in the game. Have done for a while, I hadn't considered misogyny being a problem before this post.

Oh, for sure. That route is why I assign colours to the voices in my art. It's fun to imagine them with unique designs.

I shan't say directly what I think they'd look like properly, though, because I want to imply it.

Absolutely bizarre to me that the Princess doesn't get more love; she's amazing and charming in pretty much every iteration, and I wish I could shut those voices up half the time because they make things worse or take ages.

Do you guys think the reason so much fanart exists for the voices is not because of them being great characters (all the characters in STP are), but instead because we spend more time in our own heads than we ever will with a version of the princess?

I get it. They're inherently relatable because they reflect our previous actions through any route and set the tone of each chapter. They bicker with us and are able to see every option we take.

But, maybe the princesses are underrated. As in, she's always an outsider. How quickly would she be more beloved if the voices would shut up and let us do our stuff, or if they were seperate from us?

How then would we judge the impulsive contrarian, the weak-willed hero or the depressed cold? Would we appreciate paranoid were he more than a life support?

Ask yourself that, and ponder it awhile. Don't say it to anyone. Just an hour of your independent thoughts, clear of little voices.

I dont post things about me much, but I’m a bit proud of this. I got really into Horizon: Zero Dawn by accident, and realized after playing it a bunch that I was super close to 100% achievements. So I pushed and got there.

So then along comes the sequel, Forbidden West. I delayed a couple years, but finished the story a while ago. I kept itching for more because I just love this world and story and characters.

Today I finished everything.

I’m just really pleased about this.

So now 100% on Horizon games is a thing for me. I don’t think I’m going to 100% the Lego one, but I’m so ready to invest in Horizon 3 whenever it happens.

Just like the Samwise quote, this is one of the stories that sticks with me because the heroes keep fighting no matter how dark it looks, because there’s good worth fighting for. It’s a reminder I’m holding close the way the world is right now. Those same feelings are built into the song too, so of course I’ve had that on loop as well:

I am raindrops in the flood

I am emptiness, I am hope

I am lonely in a crowd

But when you hear me, you'll be near me

Stay here with me

in the flood

ok so hear me out

something's wrong with my copy of Slay the Princess

Don't want hin getting brain damage. Can't squeak if he's without beak.

POV you're apotheosis

i hate seeing people drink the openai/chatgpt koolaid 😭😭😭 genuinely feels like watching someone get seduced by scientology or qanon or something. like girl help it's not intelligent it's Big Autocomplete it's crunching numbers it's not understanding things i fuckign promise you. like ohhh my god the marketing hype fuckign GOT you

Thank you @hamcatburger and everyone who got me to 25 reblogs!

I don't know what to say. Should I keep up with these milestones?

“Everybody secretly hates me” factoid actually just statistical error. average person does not hate you. You yourself, who has a mean brain, is an outlier and should not have been counted
