Cyathol

Still somewhat figuring out how this website works but yeah.

So, hi, I´m Cyathol, or just Cy or whatever

I'm fine with he/him pronouns and am a (very casual) artist with a (very) inconsistent artstyle who's here to just enjoy the vibes

As for posting, yeah, very inconsistent. Maybe once in a blue moon... Maybe even a bit of art when I feel like it, otherwise just walls of text where I ramble about this and that. Might disappear for months but that's kinda my thing. In that case; no, I'm not dead and did not abandon this blog, I just tend to have stuff going on that I prioritize above forcing myself to post.

Also my interests shift regularly, in random intervalls so who knows what the brainworms will feed on next... that also means the stuff I post about could change drastically

Stuff I post about rn are: Monster Hunter World/Iceborne/Rise/Wilds

>>>which is subject to change without notice or specified time-frame

Pretty sure Alma's gonna make a request for Avis Unit to get a new hunter if this keeps happening.

Based on this image:

When a Quematrice encounters a Rey Dau. Like, that is the Apex Predator of this region. Does the oversized chicken care? No. It goes in, gets its ass beaten and walks home, only for a different Quematrice to do the exact same thing 20 minutes later as if that one had any better shot at it than the one before.

Does the Great Izuchi think it can win against the colossus that is a Magnamalo? Apparently, yes. It does and will try to do so.

Sometimes monsters will fight eachother where I'm genuinely invested in who does end up getting the win, like a recent Magnamalo hunt where a Rathalos suddenly flew in out of nowhere, attacked the Magnamalo with a few good hits only to then proceed to get its ass so severely beaten, I had to pause the game. Especially because the turf war went sky high. Within a cave. So high they disappeared within the ceiling of said cave only to then drop back down again when the Magnamalo stunned the Rathalos.

There's actually a bit of extra dialog for Rove when you talk to him post-game repeatedly

Okay my first and initial reaction to this may or may not have been quite overreactive but I was highly sleep deprived and already pissed off because of a series of other events so that was just like the cherry on top that just ruined my day.

The problem that I have with this is that I feel like it takes away from Miguel's character a lot. Like, not even talking about how problematic the script is and how this encourages people characterizing him the way they do but in general.

Like the butt jokes are even comic canon, but to make it the majority of his character...?

It's just that he's been reduced to sexy vampire Spider-Man that just... there's so much more to his character and it just sucks that most people, writers and fans, seem to be pretty ignorant of that.

I get that ATSV and '92 Miguel are nowhere near the same but the way ATSV Miguel has been handled just doesn't really seem okay to me? Both how he's portrayed and perceived. The straight-up dehumanizing writing in the script, the general sexualisation, the way his character branches off from comic canon in all the wrong ways, the stereotypes he falls into and how the writers straight-up didn't even like him and showed that through their writing?

All these things especially end up impacting his character a lot because of his rather short appearance in Across, like how he's even missing his entire origin-story unlike pretty much every other major character in the movie, which shows how much it impacts his perception by how half of the fans are still convinced he's a vampire.

Conclusion: The way he gets treated doesn't really sit right with me and I hope they can fix that by giving his character more thought and explanation in Beyond and for the love of God please don't reduce his character to whatever this is.

The fucking script read like bad ao3 fanfiction at some points with Miguel and the whole "animal" bullcrap

Since Miguel's pupils even reflect "simple" light sources, making them appear white I like to think that he has cat-with-lasers-for-eyes moments when he's in darker surroundings
