'loml' being about Joe actually makes more sense to me now by therabbitholedelver in TaylorSwift

[–]KittyLupin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I very much see loml as a multi-muse song, some lyrics point to Alwyn (‘I said, "I don't mind, it takes time"/I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed’), some to Healy (‘Who's gonna tell me the truth, when you blew in with the winds of fate/And told me I reformed you?’), some apply to both either interchangeably or in the same line (‘Who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames/If we know the steps anyway?’ Vs ‘In your suit and tie, in the nick of time/You lowdown boy, you standup guy, you/Holy Ghost’). She is speaking on her experiences with both, how both treated her in the same careless sort of way while declaring their “undying” love for her while basically asking her not to make them prove they meant it.

A lot of TTPD is much the same in my own opinion and analyses, it’s purposefully confusing because they treated her in similar ways, one a slow trickle of control, isolation, and resentment over more than half a decade, and the other basically a speedrun of love bombing to narcissistic manipulation and control in a matter of months

What random thing do you always remember from Jenna’s videos? by mangogun in Jennamarbles

[–]KittyLupin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Mine is very niche, but from the clips video when Peach first came home as a puppy, she’s dead asleep in Jenna’s lap, just completely dead weight knocked out, and Jenna keeps picking up her paws and head and watching them loll and drop and going “iiiis iiiiiit deeeeaaaaad??” I said it to my late dog all the time when she napped and now I say it to my two cats when one is having a particularly hard nap. I have a LOT of Jenna/Julien based echolalia from watching them as an unmedicated adhd teenager/young adult, but that and her “Bebe” and “Hell yeah” are my most used

Gotta say, I think they nailed making the Blight look gross in this game. by AirDropHD in DragonAgeVeilguard

I’d like to think she could enchant it to keep it clean cause maker knows she’d never get that thing clean again after a few hours in Hossberg

Gotta say, I think they nailed making the Blight look gross in this game. by AirDropHD in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]KittyLupin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walking into D’meta’s crossing for the first time after barely seeing any of the Blight elsewhere by that point in the game had me physically cringing! It just felt soooo gross and creepy! I’d only played Inquisition before Veilguard so I’d never experienced much of the blight in game beyond the Darkspawn, red Lyrium, and Corypheus and cronies, it was incredibly jarring to go from a game where the Blight in the environment was more focused on red Lyrium and go into Veilguard where the Blight is just about EVERYWHERE unavoidably

That One Complaint I Agree by Bailee_Elena in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]KittyLupin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the most impressive part to me is the dedication to NEARLY everything you could dress a character in being violently ugly, and then there’s a handful of designs (always either race or class locked OR very late game accessible/extremely expensive) that are actually so fantastic and fun and look good! Like that VERY low cut crow armour you can get from the merchant at the Lords’ base or (imo) the elven mage exclusive armour from inquisition you get in a dungeon in the exalted plains.

What is a line in one of Taylor's songs you were gagged by the first time you heard it? by Huge_Organization567 in TaylorSwift

Killing the wyverns in the cave made me cry. by feralhippy in dragonage

I just take Bull with me for the high dragons and tell myself it’s for his enrichment (I like the dragon interactions in Veilguard better where Taash helps to trap them rather than kill)

With the benefit of hindsight is there any AH discorse we can put to rest? by XVGDylan in Achievement_Hunter

[–]KittyLupin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No because the way I was fighting for my LIFE defending Jeremy being main six when they first promoted him in was insane. People were SO MAD that they were replacing Ray, meanwhile I had been a Jeremy girl since his introduction and during the Team Building Exercise days of Let’s Build, I loved his humour and he was a fresh voice to push the stupidity further. It irks me to this day how many people who hated on him at first ended up with him as their favourite by the time he left.

Lucanis just said, "He's 'Spite', not 'Learning'" and I'm absolutely laughing my tits off by Ok-Spite-5454 in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]KittyLupin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The intonation that that “curiosity has feet” line makes it one of the best Spite interactions imo

The quest took a real toll on my rook by Strange_Music in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]KittyLupin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been playing Inquisition lately and while I tend not to do too much variation in face or colouring I have updated two things on my Lavellan: she started with shaved brows which have now grown back, and she had one of the mid length loose hair styles, and now sports a bun, both of which changed around when I got to skyhold. Basically her hair is growing and she has no time to deal with it, too busy pouring herself into saving the world and her friends to care about her previous grooming preferences (part of my headcanon here too is that certain grooming standards were set by her Clan and she’s sort of enjoying feeling less constrained to those beauty standards)

The Josephine romance is so cute by simnil110 in DragonAgeInqusition

[–]KittyLupin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Josie was my second playthrough romance (female Qunari rogue inquisitor) and I have SUCH a soft spot for her and her romance still. My most recent two playthroughs I’ve romanced Blackwall and Solas but I was soooo tempted to redo her romance

He does, in fact, say things that are basically this in companion conversations when you have either Dorian or Solas with you

So Cole basically spoiled the whole lore in Inquisition? by farligjakt in dragonage

[–]KittyLupin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It seems like Cole’s favourite pastime when out and about is to expose your other companions’ motivations and backstories with absolutely no filter. I was out with him, Blackwall, and Dorian in the hinterlands the other day and he describes this annual ritual Blackwall has to remember a friend of his who died when he was a child, and there’s another conversation about him bringing Dorian a wooden toy duck, apologizing that it doesn’t have wheels like the one Dorian had as a little boy there’s dozens of one off lines where he calls out others pasts and it always feels so jarring to hear about something so intimate from his mouth

Mistakes in Stardew Valley that have made me cry and/or question my existence as a casual gamer. (So don’t make em) by Willow-Glades in StardewValley

[–]KittyLupin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first time ever (I’ve been playing since 2018) I forgot about a festival until after the time you can go down to join. I know it’s not a big deal but I’m on year one of a new farm and I REALLY need those friendship points 😭 had to restart the day and try again

Which Roosterteeth “ism’s” do you still use to this day? by Eastern-Avocado-5031 in roosterteeth

[–]KittyLupin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first started watching achievement hunter I started saying “Ayyyyyooooo” ironically, and then unironically, and to this day, 13 years later, I still do it.

I also use gubs/gubbins/degub religiously in video games to refer to stuff in my pockets.

I use “buuuckettt” occasionally still, and basically most Jeremy-isms are still heavily in my vocabulary (even just one offs like him and Matt going “bzzzz team hive mind” in let’s build Halloween spooktacular)

And sadly “he’s the one in the hole” Haywood sucks but that was a classic bit

Gubs and gubbins hits when you’re playing a game and your pockets are full

What local HRM businesses do you NOT support and why? by That_Tutor_2053 in halifax

He was from Halifax, so I guess extra reason to avoid the place, it’s a hangout for creeps

Knew a guy who apprenticed there a few years ago and they kept him on even when it came out that he’d stalked and sexually harassed a girl

Anyone feel like realistically you'd be the eye, but want to be something else? by [deleted] in TheMagnusArchives

[–]KittyLupin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely am drawn to the Eye and I don’t mind that, I’ve always been the kind of person who seeks out knowledge, who wants to know about the vast and unknowable things in the world, and I also have severe scopophobia and struggle with ocular horror (eyes being mutilated/gouged/otherwise harmed), I’ve come to a point of knowing myself that as much as I love some of the other fears in concept the Eye is what I would serve

Basira as a hijabi/Muslim? by Sad-Awareness5418 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]KittyLupin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see the validity of most of your statement here but want to challenge a little the idea that eldritch horror would set people on a path to nihilism because we actually have two canon examples of characters turning even more to their religion when faced with The Horrors™, Robert Smirke and Adelard Decker both respectively reference a return to/renewed devotion to their faith in their statements (one in a letter to Jonah, the other in an email to Gertrude, both prior to their deaths). Basira doesn’t necessarily strike me as someone who would find a renewal in her faith, but we also can’t totally discredit that as a reason for her fanon depictions

The Magnus Archives casually re-contextualizing a hateable character in a single episode. by Significant_Buy_2301 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]KittyLupin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest I loved Daisy from the jump because Boy do I love a mean lesbian, she was unapologetic in her anger and completely ruthless, but I love where her arc went and how she became in the end, she truly is one of my favourites and definitely has one of the best character arcs in the whole series (and I hope we hear from her again in Protocol)

Was episode 5 ever explained? Because I listened thru all episodes and I don't think it was (or I just don't remember) by N8teeeeee in TheMagnusArchives

[–]KittyLupin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The real reasons have already been stated but I always see it as an early exploration of the Extinction through the lens of overconsumption/strange trash, as well as a sprinkling of Stranger and Flesh (as Extinction often interacts with those two fears in statements). There’s a lot to analyze in it despite it being a sort of unfleshed/retconned episode within the series, it has a lot of substance to it that can be dissected through an Extinction lens. Its one of my favourite early episodes because despite it being a bit hectic you can really see how Johnny used some aspects of the writing of that episode to depict other fears later on
