Where Is This From? Is This An Ad Or Something?

has anyone else considered how similar buddy daddies is to monster’s inc, or just me? LMAO

like the whole finding a kid, begrudgingly taking care of her at first, getting attached to then having to let her go. ik it’s a popular trope but it’s still funny

love when i look up a song i used to listen to exclusively via anime amv music videos and the official video is the cheesiest shit i've ever seen

he bounce 🥺

OK LIKE WTF!!! They need to drop this deleted scene as soon as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if anyone bothered to ask Cloud why his narrated flashbacks feature Sephiroth telling him he did a good job and looking into his eyes in slow-mo.

Final Fantasy 8 Hottakes (Non-Gameplay Related)

FF8 should have been a horror game

- The CGI graphics remind me too much of a mix of Silent Hill 2 and Parasite Eve - Squall with blood on his face was so striking as the colour red does not appear often in the game - the frame of Squall’s lack of face gave me nightmares when my game lagged during the ending cutscene 

- Rinoa’s unique appearance from clothing (love her DIY duster, bodysuit romper thing with the mini skirt) to her face (strong long and thick eyebrows, downturned eyes that look small when she squirts, and her pale face with no colour) makes her look quite...evil? when she smiles, she looks innocent at first but with her strong eyebrows and pale face, something about her reminds me of ghosts and spirits in Asian folklore (also Silent Hill for some reason) 

- It might just be how blocky yet smooth the CGI looks in cutscenes but the character designs are unique because it doesn’t look that anime? 

- Squall OG design has a really thick neck and angler face which made him look more realistic with the addition of not-anime sized eyes

- I think the lack of warmth on the character models make their faces look so dead which works if it was a horror game

- THE ENDING CUTSCENE! WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT HOW SCARY THAT SHIT WAS? The two things I knew about the game was the frame of No-Face Squall from a watchmojo thumbnail and the ending cutscene (I had no context to the game at that point)

FF8 and Yugioh GX have the same weird setting design

- It’s a weird mix of futuristic (ish) mechanic vibes with socresses and aliens

- Like in GX, its surprising light hearted up until a point where it gets unnecessary edgy with monsters and magic

- It’s actually really hard to describe it but it’s not like FF7′s dieselpunk setting or YuGiOh DM’s mix of Japanese punk rock with Ancient Egyptian settings

Dang they knew each other for that long. Dion did not seem too bothered during their breakup.

how can i live on like this

Super long rant about Link click

I think one of the flaws of the show is how there weren’t enough episodes for the first season to show the audience that the trio are actually good friends and not just co workers who live together and only talk about work.

I’m 50/50 on filler or fluff but some shows do need it to build character development and interactions. The premise of Link Click or Shiguang Dailiren. Not necessarily just because of the travel aspect, but how the three main characters interact with one another. This is not anime where opposite attract magically works where two characters can be very different and the antithesis of each other and still get along, but a more realistic show of how two very different polar opposite’s who happen to somehow be friends, work together doing very serious work and how eventually it leads to a bad end for one of them - because of how their different work styles and values clash at the end.

After rewatching Victorious as an adult, I come to realize that the main cast totally hated each other and it was surprising that they bothered hanging out with each other, if most of the time none of the (female) cast had anything positive to say about each other.

Anyways. As an adult with similar circumstances to the main trio in terms of being recent uni grads, owning debt and having your best friends be your co workers (but not also my housemates), I see their situation as a lesson that I had to learn that - sometimes it’s not idea to owe your close friend a lot of money. Also like you can be good friends with someone who is the polar opposite of you (somehow) but that doesn’t mean you two would be great co workers by any means. I learned this when me and my friends thought it was a good idea to start a club in school and run guest speaker events and all. Turns out it’s really stressful and I don’t enjoy having disagreements with my friends on how to manage money. Becoming co workers with your friends can honestly hurt the friendship because sometimes when you see your friends, you might only talk to them about work if work is really taxing or stressful.

For example, CXS and LG are good friends who are polar opposites in every way possible. They have different values, life experiences and just generally work differently. More often than not, they disagree on many things. Link click shows that these two do not work well together. LG micromanages CXS and the latter still finds ways to mess up. I get the impression that LG has nothing positive to say about CXS because I rewatched this show countless times and noticed how LG has almost nothing positive to say about his friend. The promotional material shows them being close friends and what not, I just don’t buy it. CXS clearly annoys LG. CXS will talk about something non-work related to LG and LG will immediately change the subject back to work. Clearly he just isn’t interested. Also like the whole thing of keeping details hidden from CXS because LG doesn’t trust him is a red flag. He’s told him so many things to stick with the script and CXS doesn’t which messes things up. All this actions should not be happening. This is how you piss people off enough that they don’t want to talk/work with you. This kinda happens at the end when they take a pause and things get awkward between them.

If anything, Link Click is a great example of how polar opposites aren’t always so cool. Because in real life, if you weren’t obligated to work with them and share the same room together, you prob wouldn’t even be friends with them or even talk to them outside of work.

Another thing is that Cheng Xiaoshi owes Qiao Ling (family) a lot of money. That’s just not a good idea and those who disagree, you will eventually come to agree with me. It’s not like oh but they are really good friends and they must trust enough - no it’s just not a good idea anyone above 20 knows. It’s a rookie mistake that everyone eventually makes. Don’t involve your friends with money. Also Qiao Ling is their landlady soooo -

Guys - I’m Chinese, recently graduated and I worked with friends in work place settings (outside of retail) where you had to do very serious adult things. I see Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang clash when they work together and sometimes when you have an argument with your friend about something that happened at work, you want to have that type of separation when you are out of work. They both don’t have that divide since they both work and sleep in the same room. For those who know what’s it’s like to experience you and your best friend being great friends but not so great when you two room together, work together etc you know where I’m getting at.

The friend group was eventually going to fall apart. All of Qiao Ling’s lines are about money or work. Lu Guang had almost nothing positive to say to/about Cheng Xiaoshi during the entire show. Again I know there is the promotional materials but honestly, to the average viewer who doesn’t see that - this might be the impression that they might get. There are cultural differences but there is also just real life.

Anyway this is a lot. This show was dubbed in over 10 different languages but only like 10 people outside of China has seen it. Thanks for reading my autistic rant on a show no one has seen.

I remember when I first saw this scene. My thought process was: dang he took his clothes off to only realize that he didn’t like what he saw and then told him to put his clothes back on :/

What ACTUALLY happened in that scene with Cid and Clive....
