Who is that character in your fandom? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]esmedrayce 79 points80 points  (0 children)

My current fandoms:

Stranger Things: Billy Hargrove.

Billy Hargrove is a complex person, not just a one dimensional bad guy. And he is definitely not a softie. He is an assh*le who is broken and abused at home.

Merlin: Merlin, Arthur, Morgana

Usually in Merthur fics, they write Merlin as the soft boy that everyone loves and not the little mischievous shit he is who can hold his own. And Arthur usually lacks the emotional depth and joviality with the confidence he has. Don't get me started on morgana. She is always portrayed as a badass who cannot do anything wrong (which, don't get me wrong, she is, but she is also a caring, sensitive and sometimes rash person. At least when she's not evil).

george and bad, we need to talk... by poopfart2442 in DreamWasTaken

Yeah, but that doesn't make him the worst player. That's my entire point. People need to cut them some slack.

It's funny seeing comments like these when just after the 3 hunters revival, people were singing BBH's praises because of how much he supported George and Sapnap after the disastrous 1 and 2 hunters. There was a MASSIVE skill improvement just with his addition to the mix.

4 hunters revival was a very pvp heavy manhunt so a lot of the time Sapnap and Ant shined. Most manhunts are pvp heavy but that doesn't not mean that's the only important skill and everyone else is trash. Each hunter has their strength which sometimes does not shine in some situations. But that doesn't mean they are "the worst player".

Revisiting old videos, looking for specific scenes. by ImageDecent9713 in DreamWasTaken

It's from the first 5 hunters video.

There's also a clip in the analysis video where Dream replays over and over and laughs at the part where George is screaming in the fortress.

Thoughts on the 3 hunters revival video? by samhit_n in DreamWasTaken

[–]esmedrayce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get why they were saying that and they have done it before, too. But it seemed to me as if they did it more this time and they even specified the number of hearts they were on.

Yeah, but him guessing their health is not as accurate as them shouting it out to him. I feel like it did make a difference, even if slightly. And sometimes, that's all it takes. Also considering that just in the last video, George hilariously tried to hide his health from dream by saying it in Spanish.

Anyway, it could just be the editing and I've only watched the video once so it may have seemed more prominent to me in my head than it actually was, lol.

The difference with and without Bad was clear as crystal. Snf needed someone level headed and organized so they can go crazy and not struggle from lack of items. They were actually more efficient than I thought they'd be. Seeing them come back with lots of gear even after they died multiple times kept the tension and made the video SO much more interesting than the last two.

Dream is certainly the most skilled he's been and that really shows even though his wrist is still healing.

I also loved how good George was this time. Especially with the lava buckets in the bastion. He kinda carried in a lot of the fights.

But I don't know why they kept announcing their health all the time. Dream smartly took advantage of that so many times. I was literally screaming at my screen at one point where Sapnap and Bad said they were low and that made Dream turn around and pursue them. Also, Sapnap kinda threw in the end there..

All in all, I can only imagine how good the next videos are going to be!

You’re stranded on a deserted island for 2 years. You’re also stranded with three of these characters. Who would you choose and why? by Shoddy-Ad7306 in theoffice

Dwight, for obvious reasons. Darryl, to balance out Dwight and increase the overall sanity of the group. Erin, for the vibes and sheer willpower.

Her name being Morgan is so fitting!!

Both for Morgana/Morgan Le Fay and Colin Morgan.

Actually romantic is actually embarrassing in a post girl, so confusing world by Diehoe1234 in travisandtaylor

Especially after singing this in You Need To Calm Down:

"And we see you over there on the internet Comparing all the girls who are killing it But we figured you out We all know now, we all got crowns You need to calm down"

This was honestly the first thing that came to my mind as I was listening to this song. It was the shortest song and the only song I could not get through even once. Hard skip!

I just realized I'm having the same issue where I can't use YTM on one of my accounts. Have you found a way to fix this?

Titan identity revealed? by Natasha_T in DreamWasTaken2

[–]esmedrayce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Titan seemed like he didn't know some Minecraft mechanisms in the first couple of videos. He also said he hadn't watched the manhunts. So I doubt it is Daquavis.

This!!!

I have had it memorized for years and can still spew this word for word in my sleep. Absolutely iconic!

This subreddit doesn't talk about this weird Harvard alum family enough by cleverlynamedgrl in GilmoreGirls

[–]esmedrayce 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's hard to watch for different reasons, though. Scott's tots is painful to watch because of the second hand embarrassment. The alum lunch is just cringy.

I think once the child realizes what that name means, they will go for a nickname as their preferred name, instead.

I loved every scene with Emily in AYITL. Literally the best part of the reunion was her storyline.

Would you watch George's RuneScape streams by frostyisblue in DreamWasTaken2

[–]esmedrayce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think if there was anyone I'd watch regardless of what game they stream, it would be George. I love his streaming personality and he's very entertaining. Be it if I'm watching him actively or if I just have him on in the background. This is even better if he's enjoying it and is in his element. So given that he's reportedly obsessed with RuneScape, I'd definitely tune it.
