#kinda rant

Like, my dad is not just the person that made me, he’s the person that watched me grow up and taught me the things i didn’t know. If I found out tomorrow my dad was not biologically my dad nothing would change because it doesn’t matter whether or not he made me.

Caine, by design, was created with a lot of knowledge installed into him, he wasn’t taught things the conventional way (by Kinger or anyone else) and there was likely no emotional attachment before the circus.

I wouldn’t really have a problem with this interpretation of their relationship if the people advocating for it weren’t annoying af with royalteeth shippers.

I’m sorry but I just don’t see a grown man and an ageless AI he programmed as father and son, I think they fuck nasty, actually

First! Thank you!

Second: one of my favorite tropes are enemies to lovers!

Seeing how two people who hate each other change and grow into a protective kinda love. Is one of my favorite tropes in stories!

I love mugman’s and bendy’s dynamic!

I think some of the reasons would be

- Bendy and Mugman apologizing in his own way

- little things that would bring them closer to each other

- for example being trapped, saving each other, taking care of each others wounds

- sharing food or blankets

- seeing how the two are genuinely care about their siblings having some kind of respect with each other

- when they are not in impending danger maybe they can open up with each other like that one scene of Bendy and Cuphead in the woods

- and the both might grow to be better or burn each other into a love hate relationship

- Mugman would probably feel a kind of guilt for falling for the demon who made a deal with his brother

- but the more sides of Bendy he sees maybe that point of view may change

- same goes for Bendy

People talk about “oh computer fans whirring/other computer sounds are like a heartbeat” as if ticking sounds even more like a heart beating? No consideration of how timekeeping is a necessity for society (the same way computers/any device with internet are considered a necessity nowadays)?

NO consideration for how Tall Clocks (or Grandfather Clocks as most assume the name is, Tall Clocks is actually the blanket term) for generations were family heirlooms that basically commanded the house by being one of, possibly the ONLY object perfectly keeping time and chining whenever a certain time struck? No thought about how you can still do that whole “i depend on you” relationship thing people do with computers considering plenty of antique clocks need to be wound up by a person to keep going, and a human needs an object to keep time so they aren’t lost in unknowing what time it is?

NO thought about hearing chimes as some kind of “holy” sound or even demand to start a task (if you have a schedule)? Movements (the gears and other parts basically) not being seen the way people see hundreds of wires and circuit boards in one tightly packed space?

Because the answer, to me, at least, is yes and no specifically because he is a fictional character.

Because, to me (I wish to specify that this is all my opinion and you could think way differently about this), characters do not essentially have to do what is best, they have to do what is interesting, and because comics are so wide and are contributed to by so many different writers, the idea of what is interesting can vary wildly.

So, yes, Bruce Wayne is a good parent in the comics where that is the most interesting choice. And no, he is not a good parent in the comics where that is the most interesting choice.

The fun thing about comics to me has always been being able to look at the wide array of events and characterizations and just picking what I like the most out of it. And what I like the most changes based on the context of the story surrounding them.

I see a lot of posts that are like "I don't like X character because they did this action in this specific comic" which is completely fair, but also I've always been of the opinion that comic lore is so wide (and, let's be honest, inconsistent) that you can hold multiple true things about a character at once because they are fictional. I just always find it weird when posts come across, again specifically to me, as blaming the character for the choices made for one story by one writer (or even a series of writers), when a bunch of other writers have written said character in a different way, and you can just decide which way you like best, and which way you like best can 100% change with the situation that character is in.

I have talked with some people (one in particular) who say Ariga is the “real” Mega Man and Flynn “ruined” some of the characters (Blues, it’s always Blues they complain about).

Which is funny because, upon me reading them, I found that the artwork is superior and gorgeous to look at, I prefer the Flynn characterization of the characters.

Plus, at the risk of ruffling some feathers, his Blues and Bass were borderline sociopaths who never actually acknowledge the damage they’ve done and actively make things worse time and time again.

I have my own gripes with Archie, don’t get me wrong, but if Archie Blues was a “brat”, then Ariga’s honesty comes off as a cold psychopath who I honestly don’t see as a good guy in the slightest who actively makes things worse than better, and it’s on purpose.

Sorry, but some people on some platforms just won’t stop talking about their Ian Flynn hatred and Ariga praising, so I kinda want to share more on it.

Nothing wrong with Ariga, I like it, but I don’t hold any title above the other. Both are influential and important.

its hard to find any games that let you disable wings / choose a more drake-ish bodytype. also other flightless / really just wingless dragon types (lindwyrms, wyrms, etc.)
