Have a made lasting impact on others? Will they remember me after a while? Do they think of me? Do they even consider me a friend?

I’ve been in my fair share of friend groups over the years, but I’ve always felt like the odd one out. I never felt like I quite…fit in as much as I would have liked too. Whenever I try to talk about my stuff, my writings, or even just start conversations in general, I hardly got responses or the opportunity to push. I typically got ignored or was lucky enough to have at least one person acknowledge me, and then everyone moved on to the next person, and they talked to them more…

//I wouldn't recommend my writing style for reviews to anyone, as its beyond insanity what I do. I'm the only person who will literally write 15k+ on a review of a story arc of a Tumblr blog. Don't do this please. Do what works for you, I tell this to other reviewers, I do it this way since I like to talk and I can get a insane amount of words down when motivated. Most people are NOT like this.

//With the amount of hints Creeper has dropped that Kuripa in Season 3 is gonna radically change in personality, this can go one or two ways. Either the soul searching he does actually humbles Kuripa greatly and he becomes a much calmer and more considerable person, which will be a massive shock when the heroes reunite with him, or finding out that Matta has Operation Dark Phoenix will break what little shreds of sanity he has and he decides that if his enemy cannot die, he will make sure the entire world dies. ESPECIALLY as Kuripa is away from anyone who could call him out and get him to back down.

//It will be a bold move to make the askblog Protagonist a full-blown villain and normally for many it would be insanely OOC. But for Kuripa, it doesn't feel like that since again, the man is a ticking time bomb, anger, hate and rage boils underneath his skin and if you give him a inch on how brutal he can go, well there's nothing left of the enemy.

//There would be some degree of irony if Matta who is basically Cable, came back in time to try and stop a dark future, but in doing so, he is the cause of said dark future. Something something self-fulfilling prophecy.

So, does anyone remember this quote from me?

Now we’re delving straight into, I believe, Crushed Nugget’s Everyone is Miserable in CF set of posts, which is something I’d reeeeeaaaaaally like to dig into sometime, because it’s just a lot of petty and trivial ways to try to demonstrate everybody as being unhappy or less-fulfilled characters in CF.

These can range from the ever-popular “Lysithea doesn’t want to destroy the Empire in CF”, to “Yuri feels overworked in CF”, to “Raphael is irresponsible and happy in CF”, to “Ingrid is sadge in CF”. Yeah, being happy is bad if in CF and being unhappy is also bad if in CF.

It’s basically just her plucking at literally anything she can find to say that CF is bad in that exact moment without any regard for consistent standards. Ignatz’s is especially amazing given you know if the paintings he drew were reversed she’d instead say VW Ignatz is good for wanting to immortalize the horror of war so we never forget what war takes from us while CF Ignatz is bad for trying to cover up the pain with pretty pictures of something.

I said I didn't really wanna address it myself because it'd take a lot of time... but luckily @themattress has me covered! I can't directly reblog their post because Crushed Nugget has me blocked, but I link to it here:

Agree. It’s seems like Amity may have experienced events different than Willow. Also, since Amity seems to be a very private and aloof person (with perfectionist tendencies) she doesn’t come across as helpful, caring or friendly but it might not mean she means badly.

Another thought, but I wonder if there’s competition in her family. Particularly around...mm...being the most skilled. If you’re not going to be the best, why bother?or waste the time? So, could her dismissiveness toward Willow be related to a sentiment that unless you’re going to exceed, best cut the bud of ambition before it blooms?

Hey, have you read what would have happened in Colin Trevorrow’s Episode IX? Y'all owe J.J and TROS apology - there are far worse things than just dying.

Also: Barret never founded Avalanche; in Cosmo Canyon in the original game he confirms it existed before him. The REAL issue BC causes is having Avalanche be responsible for what happens to North Corel by blowing up the reactor that Shinra blames the people of Corel for…and yet Barret joins them anyway even when they are just as culpable as Shinra? HUH!?

barret says he founded avalanche IN cosmo canyon after learning shit there, but it was always his. 

the issue BC causes is that it feels the need to have avalanche in a villainous position at all given it was initially an ill-equipped resistance against a murderous megacorporation, but crisis core then forced them to have shinra be “good guys” and by contrast decided to do that not through any actual grey morality but by having the same hamfisted tired “okay but the protesters did some bad things too you guys”. the corel thing is part of it, sure, but it’s more representative of a wider issue that plagues the whole game to begin with. 

like, i hate to dragon age on main, but remember that bit in inquisition where out of nowhere in a need to pull some “both sides have a good point” garbage in what should be a pretty cut and dry issue, it turns out that the elf lady had her own people assassinated? it feels like that. 

(i should also mention the only reason square is deepthroating the boot this hard is because they already committed to “soldier and the turks are good actually! it’s just the president/hojo that’s bad!!” and now they can’t exactly walk that back when they made a whole damn game about it based around the assumption that the audience is too dumb to want any kind of actual intent beyond their surface level symbolism)
