#since again

like sure i wont put it past n7 to be accidently a neglectful dad to kidd considering his upbringing and the abruptness of kidd's arrival but what i'm getting so far from the past and present stuff is that him being a dislikedhacker and caring for coolkidd are like, 2 separate things? that don't seem to corelate??? idk i feel like i cant put it into words but it's almost like coolkidd its more of an after thought in this relationship rather than an important piece of n7's behaviour and/or status, when it's clearly implied coolkidd caused a lotta trouble even at a young age and that n7 still worked hard to care for him.

i'm not saying he didn't love coolkidd but it's like, having coolkidd call him dad (father, mind you) and have an special animation/song in LMS it's not enough?? it feels more like a creation of n7 that went rouge and n7 doesn't feel comfortable with It considering him it's dad?? am i insane for feeling this??? or for this observation???

i can totally see n7 feels bad for losing kidd, and after seeing what kidd became, but it's also shown he was a hacker before having kidd, and kidd was found at his doorstep as a baby, and that the kidd had a whole gang of people doing the dirty work for him?? like theres so much going on!! and i still feel this disconnect from the family concept.

Yes you can feel unsure about being a good parent or have dissasociation with parenthood when it was such a sudden shift from your usual lifestyle, yes you can wish to go back to those times too, and i really wouldnt put it past n7's mental state to do so, but i hate to say that for me Coolkidd feels like a burden to N7. I feel this detachement coming from both sides because we don't really see the effects of their separation on both with detail, and we also don't see more on how their regular life used to be aside from the destruction and the despair and eventual loss. :/

Lmao maybe post videos of actual gay characters in this show and not something that doesn't exist, all scenes of them being "in love" is either out of context or just exaggerated and Misha's constant pandering to it does not help.

The comments are just basically "Everyone thank the account manager!"

This is the same show btw where Dean would take a bullet for Sam and not Castiel.

Castiel is only there because "Misha said it so it must be true" but as its never in an episode, therefore it's not canon (imo at least)

But not counting him, there are 43 other LGBTQ characters (Charlie, Lily Baker, Claire just to name three) and you know who's not there? Correct, Dean, why? Because he's clearly straight and has been since Pilot

which made me ???? bc day one the empire kills them both and they're both saying how they want revenge at the start, running and hiding from them and everything

and like considering both ro and Jumper are down on hearts after being some of the first deaths, its not like they're particularly powerful allies to a team like the empire who are like arguably one of the most stacked teams on the server, esp early game when the bigger numbers means a lot

thennn I realized the empires only other alliance was zam which is what made me go "oh, so their only alliances are the special little guys of certain members of their team then" since no way is anyone on that team allying w zam willy nilly except mapicc bc of COURSE his ass is allying w zam

so I scroll down and. lo and behold, of fucking course the sticklers are only allied w the empire bc its minute and mapicc, of COURSE. there's just no world where it's anyone else bc to be quite honest it's only an alliance bc the sticklers have Jumper and Ro on the team; no way the empire gaf about a team who is lower on hearts and some of the easier kills in the server unless it's due to mapicc and minutes own biases

"Having said all of that..." Orochimaru says. "Let's drink."

He puts two bottles onto the table. One reads King of the Night sake. The other reads Hakuto Peach Sake. He puts two cups onto the table.

He considers them.

Then he puts his finger on his lips, sssshh, and replaced the cups with glasses. He doesn't want to refill his itty bitty tiny cup ever few sips. He's a madman. He drinks the rice wine using a French wine glass, so he's a monster.

He efficiently uncorks both bottles. He pours the wine in the glasses by holding the bottom of the bottle, a manner that betrays his upper-class upbringing.

"Are you thirsty? We're going to drink until both bottles are empty."

He fills the glasses half with King of the Night, and half with Hakuto Peach. It's a hellish mix, so dangerous that it might as well explode. But Orochimaru doesn't even blink.

There's a proverb.

"Drinking like a Sannin".

This evening, Kabuto is going to find out what that means.

follow up from HERE

"No... he didn't! He brought that goddamn sake too?!"

Kabuto was still stunned after the revelation that Orochimaru knew everything about what Kabuto has been up to for the past days and months. He knew about all of the mishaps and his own embarrassing experiences that he thought Orochimaru didn't need to know. What made it worst is that all of that would be perfect for Orochimaru to use as blackmail if he ever had that mindset to do so...

"Lord Orochimaru, wait. Don't mix that sak-! " He protested as they poured the King of the Night sake into the cups as well but he was shushed before he could finish his sentence. Ditching the small ceramic cups and replacing them with the pint glass cups, Kabuto's entire being was overcome with a sense of dread. Are they insane?! Kabuto could only handle the three small ceramic cups of the King of the Night. But to be challenged to drink an entire bottle of THAT sake along with the other one is insane!

Has he gone mad?!

He stares down at the full cup before him with unease and he glances back at them, just wishing that they were merely just toying with him to get a rise out of him. He swore that he wouldn't drink that goddamn sake again, ever since that night. But with Orochimaru being dead set on drinking with him, but not just to enjoy it. But to get plastered drunk!

"Lord Orochimaru. Are you... with what you now know about everything about me..." He hasn't even drank the sake and yet he could feel the nausea from the anxiety writhing in his gut.

the cutscenes this time around were a little lacking in narrative weight, save for the one with ikora towards the end. i think it’s a product of the fact this is supposed to be a build up expansion to whatever comes next, or maybe we’re awaiting futher updates to the storyline in that regard, so I’m not like angry about it, just a little disappointed because there was a lot they could have worked with to make the scenes have more weight and fullness to them.

it also might be the case because the expansion is supposed to build upon Forsaken in how alone our Guardian is, or at least how current events are making it seem that way, and are supposed to be a little darker than previous (ergo why there’s so few funny remarks from NPCs, Ghost, etc) because the Darkness is coming. It’s really interesting, thematically, and I’m really digging it because thats Good Fucking Writing.
