Alien: Chirping, Cooing, Dancing In Happiness

i love freedom fries having a serious dynamic of slow burn and building a relationship, but i also really adore them having the dynamic of Jessica Rabbit and Roger Rabbit because they are so so silly and i love both duos

bg3 but medic is there

he just laughs at the worst times and shows a very strong and odd fascination towards all the gore and messed up situations, to the point it even surpasses durge’s.

somehow he always has the strongest health potions that he “obtained”. he collects skulls and bones he finds, along with some organs??

Has really strange humor and is almost always smiling. didn’t bat an eye at a companion being a vampire, only asking if he could study the extent of the affliction. didn’t bat an eye at the time-bomb in the wizard, only asking if he could also study that and possibly try to remove it?? somehow comes up with various solutions to help calm your other companion’s infernal engine only using the bare recourses you have.

he mutters in a language no one understands and withers said something about this guy have multiple souls???? you aren’t even sure if he’s human anymore.

I'm a firm believer in the idea that Pyro doesn't naturally see in "Pyrovision," but that it's a side effect of their mask/the optics inside it. I feel like they still know what they're doing, though. The rest of the mercs very much know the reality of their job, although some of them see it in a slightly different perspective.

Sniper sees his job as assassinating those who deserve it — only killing people who are "rotten" (as described by his adoptive mother.)

He says himself in the Meet The Sniper short that he isn't a "crazed gunman." He doesn't kill for the sake of killing, he only kills who he thinks should be killed. He's an assassin, it's an occupation. He does it for his job, and states that as a professional, he has standards.

Heavy sees his job as getting rid of "evil men." When discussing taking back his job, he emphasizes that specifically. He isn't just killing anyone, he's killing those who are deemed the bad guys.

We also know he does all he can to protect his family, and his family knows this just as well. He only attacks when it is necessary for him and his family's safety, and/or will benefit them in some capacity. (He's gone through a lot and I feel like we as a fandom don't discuss that enough. I did an analysis over Heavy's past one time in a Discord server and I might post it here if anyone is interested.)

In the Meet The Pyro video, we see how they allegedly view the world. A fairytale-like place full of rainbows, bubbles, sparkles, and almost cherub-esque versions of the enemy mercs.

While it is very easy to just assume this is how they view everything naturally, I don't think it's ever been 100% confirmed that this is the case.

The biggest thing for me is the Pyrovision Goggles in-game. The fact that they can be worn by any class, and it effects all of the mercs the same way, makes me believe that it truly is a result of the optical mask/the lenses within them that makes Pyro see what they do. It would've been so easy to make this cosmetic only available to Pyro, but it isn't.

The fact the goggles includes the "optical mask" text in the center, much like Pyro's mask itself, just pushes the idea that Pyroland is all an optical illusion. Obviously it was never real in the first place, but I don't think it's how Pyro sees everything naturally.

Tying back to the beginning of this post, I believe Pyro knows what they're doing. They know that they're spreading fire and not bubbles and rainbows. But perhaps they keep the mask on for the sake of their own psyche, to make it easier for them to do their job. Much like how Heavy and Sniper justify their jobs by seeing it as killing "evil men," or killing those who are "rotten," maybe Pyro uses their mask and goggles to tune out the dark truth of what they do. It could be yet another reason as to why Pyro never removes their mask.

what do you mean people ship Cazador and Astarion 😨 WHY DID I SEE SHIP ART OF THEM?? CAZADOR IS LITERALLY HIS ABUSER??? 😨😨 AND SUPPOSED TO BE A “FATHER” FIGUREHEAD??? 😨😨😨 HUH???

cats being capable of understanding accidents and even giving you a little head bonk to let you know you're still cool makes it infinitely funnier that they don't understand when you're trying to help them

cats when you step on their tail: i'll admit that was rather ouchie, but given the lifetime of goodwill and trust between us, one must conclude this booboo is but a fluke.

cats when you try to get their claws unstuck from the couch covering: this nefarious bitch has never had a single honorable intention in their dishonest and shameful life, this must be one of their sinister plots or perhaps even an attempt on my life,

i hope everyone with acne, eczema, vitiligo, psoriasis, dermatitis, and skin conditions have a good day today

IM NOT DONE ACTUALLY!!

WHY DOES NOBODY TALK ABOUT MINSC TELLING DURGE HE IS NOW LIKE THEIR FAMILY AND THEIR UNCLE?? THE WAY MY HEART MELTED WHEN HE SAID IT AND BOO IS LIKE A WEIRD FURRY COUSIN

I love Gale, he’s great.

So I was watching some videos of Gale’s epilogue discussions with a friendship/non-romanced Tav, and…oh my god, Gale…

[Sorcerer] You confine yourself to the School of Illusion? I’d have thought you could teach the entire curriculum…

Gale: I did offer, as a matter of fact.

Gale: However, the Blackstaff insisted I couldn’t teach every subject, nor could the simulacra of myself I offered to create for that purpose.

————————

Blackstaff: Well Gale, we’d be honored to take you on as a professor. What subject would you like to teach?

Gale:

ALL OF THEM

A detail in RDR2 I hope was intentional is how at most of the camps Uncle's sleep spot is kinda all over the place. At Shady Belle he just plops down in the middle of a hallway. But when they get to Beaver hollow and Micah and them are starting to really threaten him he sleeps behind Arthur's cot.

No cuz you don’t fucking understand
