Well, I caught up.
Jesus Christ.
DMD somehow gets better at these scenes everytime and it's remarkable and insane. They're always so full of feeling and...
Personality, the word I'm looking for is personality. Every DMD NC scene—at least in the last twoish(?) years has fit within the general vibe of the specific series but also stayed true to the characters themselves. Not just NC for NC sake, but actual characterization throughout.

Today on things found in my notes . Might do it tbf it’s kinda funny
as a silly girl who loves spaceships and physics i really do think that i should love and identify with tali more than i already do, but she very much suffers from a writing problem that most mass effect love interests have: being a love interest
On Silent Protagonists
There's something really fascinating about games that have a silent protagonist to allow the player to insert themselves, and yet still have opinions on what the protagonist's character is like. Like how in Ace Combat 7, everyone sees Trigger as an inspiring leader despite them (like all Ace Combat protags) having no distinguishing features besides being Good At Planes. One of the briefings even has a character mention that "Trigger has a confident look on his face" or something along those lines.
Or in Hollow Knight, how the game lore establishes that the Vessel was intended to be an empty shell with no emotions, giving you a neutral character that can support whatever actions you do to reach the final boss. But if you take the time to do all the sidequests it becomes clear that the Vessel has developed some sort of emotional connection to the people you're helping out, and the player probably has too if they're taking the time to do the flower sidequest.
In both cases, these characterizations aren't wrong - an Ace Combat player is pretty confident in their ability to shoot down hundreds of planes, and a Hollow Knight player is going to explore everywhere and talk to everyone in pursuit of reaching the final boss - but it's notable that these characterizations exist at all. There's no such thing as a truly blank slate protagonist - the actions you take in the game inherently imply things about the sort of person your character is, and it's very cool when the developer notices this and leans into it.
Hate ittt when a beginner student misuses a construction in a plausible and funny way but if you explain it to them at this point of their language journey it will only confuse them so you have to correct it with pain in your heart

Vivid weird childhood memories of things from shows that set off the dopamine. Example: that episode of spongebobs where squodward has like seventy alarm clocks
i still say things like “distaction” and “all of the sudden” etc… subtle but still noticable
Some of the most appealing fanfiction to me is fanfiction for period romance dramas or stories that re-imagines the story with more societal conflict, or rather different conflict. This also applies to screen adaptations of books and such.
As interesting (and I mean that in as much as I find it interesting only for the alight conflict it brings to the story and nothing more) as Lizzy and Darcy's class disparity is, the fic that speaks outright of why such a disparity is absurd is even better. Or, while Georgiana's near elopement adds a fraught element to the story, a criticism of the idea that keeping women ignorant of sex does not prevent them from having it, but rather prevents them from a) participating safely and b)understanding what is happening so as to be able to at least attempt to put a stop to it should they so desire. Yes, Darcy's wealth is appealing as a means of sure comfort, and the praise of his housekeeper is a boon to his character, but a fic thst shows he treats his tenants exceptionally well and is an incredibly charitable man who lives well within his means so as to be able to aid those who need it? Well, that is simply much more to my interest.
I loved Anne of Green Gables as a child, but the screen adaptation Anne with an "E" brings much more into it with the addition of a queer character finding comfort and joy in his friendship with Anne, as well as the depictions of the current events of the time that take away from the romance we often find the Era of a period drama brings such as ensuring that the reality of indigenous children and residential schools be shown in a story that would otherwise not have cared.
Anyways, I like when the romance of a past era, or the supposed goodness of a character within the romance and story, is given credence by the often undiscussed aspects of those past eras.
