The Watch Was Like, Three Poor Creative Decisions Away From Being Good IMO.

The Watch was like, three poor creative decisions away from being good IMO.

Lack of Nobby and Colon messes with the tone, trying to mix Guards, Guards with Night Watch and throwing in other plot lines along the way sent the pacing to the Dungeon Dimensions and there just wasn't room to leave anything as subtext - though I did enjoy Cheery coming out being more overt.

I like the aesthetic and I think Sybil being involved more is a good thing, even if both aspects could have been better.

Talking about women and gender expression in Discworld for my midterm. Dude, it's a shame that The Watch sucked so much because Joe Eaton-Kent was such a cool choice for Cheery. I thought it was really cool that they explored aspects of her gender and "coming out" as female that was mostly just subtext in the Original stories.

Oh my god.

pleasd tell me someone else remembers Skylanders

It wasn't just a fever dream, right? They were real, right?

I've had one of persephone's voicelines stuck in my head for so long

Reblogging so Crowley can.

Boromir: One does not simply walk into Mordor.

Crowley: Can I hear a wahoo?

I see Curse Elaine and Guybrush, Revenge (or start of Curse) LeChuck and I can't identify the version of Stan.

It's not Stan from Revenge but besides that, it's hard to say. Feels like his first appearance just because the proportions were more normal in the first two.

Great job all around.

I got into Monkey Island recently

I do hate kids. I hated them when I was one and I hate them now.

I'm a dedicated hater because so many of them are sociopathic and they need to learn some damn empathy. I once thought adults were too worried to be cruel, turns out growing up means you have to learn how to care.

You make some excellent points, I hate some of those things also. I just don't like unpredictable goblins in my general vicinity. Individuals are fine, but not the group.

you don't "hate kids," you hate being forced into a caretaking role.

you don't "hate kids," you hate censorship passed off as family values.

you don't "hate kids," you hate the constrictiveness of the nuclear family.

you don't "hate kids," you're just not used to occupying fully age diverse spaces so you're not used to the noise or the many different kinds of needs.

you don't "hate kids," most public spaces just aren't built for kids, and so the few kids you see are always uncomfortable and distressed.

you don't "hate kids," you hate the intense social rules assigned to kids and anyone who interacts with kids.

You don't "hate kids," you hate how society reproduces its most restrictive elements and how kids are powerless to resist it.
