Were they singining in italian in that Nocturne teaser? It sounded like an opera piece :0

Nope, I'm pretty sure it's Latin, but I can't understand a word lol

(I think the first words are "amor, amor"?)

spinningbuster98 asked:

So what the show is telling me is that men can't be sluts (unless you're Alucard) but women can?

Now isn't that a double standard

Avatar

The virgin NFCV where every man is conventionally handsome and every woman is conventionally sexy (and men who do not comform to Western masculinity get tormented and emasculated)

vs.

The chad Castlevania where the women are cute and have pretty dresses but the men are absolute, shameless, peak manwhores 💖

I don't know who she is, but now I can point to her to prove that NFCV did not need to neuter Isaac that much because the excuse that it's a gritty, realistic show never held water in the first place :'D

#anti netflixvania#why yes i'm salty that bdsm vampire mommy is already being thirsted upon#while isaac is still accused of being too cringe for nfcv and his show counterpart to be an improvement in every way#why do you ask? :)

Big Mood: I unapologetically love my first draft. I’m proud of it. I don’t think it’s a raging dumpster fire-and hell, even if it was-it’s my raging dumpster fire that I created out of nowhere and that I continue to learn and evolve from.

Even Bigger Mood: I generally like what I write. I wouldn’t be writing it if I didn’t love the stories and the archetypes and the tropes. And I will continue to love my own work even as I grow as a writer and am more aware of the flaws that I can’t see right now.

I get the impression that Flynn and the Deats Brothers would get along pretty well.

Now if only Sega would greenlight a Sonic cartoon directed by the Deats and written by Fly-BLAM!!

Avatar

Why do you want to unleash even more evil upon this wretched world?

But yeah, comparing Flynn with the Deats is more appropriate than with Ellis. Ellis is proud to not even trying to engage with the source material and is a known criminal. The Deats brothers are simply your average misguided ascended fans, just like Flynn. I haven't read enough Tweets of them to know if they share the inflated ego, but I wouldn't be surprised.

agirlinsearchof asked:

Do you have any particular recommendations for a first Mega Man game? (I managed to die in the MM11 demo, on the lowest difficulty…)

I have a Switch, which has a lot of the Mega Man games, most of which are compilations.

Avatar

Oh. Mh.

MM11 would have been my pick for the Classics 😂 those games are on the hard side as expected from a series born in the 80s, and 11 is IMO the most balanced one.

MM10 has an Easy mode too and personally I didn't have any issues with it. If you're playing compilations, those come with save states and a rewind feature so any game is fair: in that case, MM4 is probably the one with the most consistent quality.

But there are other subseries! The X games are far more approachable, and you can jump to them if you don't vibe with the Classics. I 100% recommend X1, X2 and especially X4.

The Zero games are great, but ohhh boy you'll need the help the compilation provides :P if you want to try them, all 4 should be played in order. Up to you if you then would like to try the ZX games, it's only 2 of them anyway.

was going to ask how you settled on names for things but realized what I was actually getting at was very easy to generalize. is perfectionism a big issue for you? how do you decide when it's okay to let an idea sit in its current form and move on to the next thing? this is a huge issue for me in any creative work

toskarin answered:

genuinely, the answer is to accept that it's okay to make stupid things as long as you make done things

if something isn't making you happy, that's a good reason to move on, but it's important to learn the difference between something being unfulfilling because you don't like doing it and something being unfulfilling because you don't think you've earned being fulfilled, if that makes sense

if you finish something and it sucks, you move on and make something else. if you don't finish something because you think it sucks, you'll mull over that forever and then do the exact same thing again

sometimes you'll finish something and think "man this sucks but I have to finish working on it so I can move on" and then you get 200 people like "wow this is your best work ever" and you realise you were being insane

Mega Man Zero 3 Part 2: Dr.Weil’s evil

Childre’s level….not gonna lie I don’t like this one

You have to race the submarine and hit the switches before he destroys them in order to lower the water level. It’s not necessary but it will make the boss easier and will give you more points at the mission’s end

However this means dashing like crazy and the level is not only full of enemies but also insta kill spikes, meaning that you’ll likely ram head first into them while trying to race. Trying to collect the Secret Disks while doing this is also a pain

The factory level picks up the slack though.

Fun fact: after beating Deathtanz Mantisk you gain a chip that lets you stand on “crumbling terrain”

For the longest time I thought this meant falling platforms but no, what it means is SINKING terrain, like the floors fool of junk that hinder your movement in this stage

So anyway here is where we get our first taste at what Dr.Weil is willing to do to get what he wants and it sure is a solid first impression

Oh what’s that? The Dark Elf has been sighted in a densely populated area? It could easily slip from your fingers like it’s been doing until now if you just sent in troops to try and nab it?

Well then shut the hell up Harpuia, Weil is going to drop a literal nuke on the city with Omega onboard, this way the city will be demolished and the Dark Elf will be much easier to find and capture, casualties be damned

And it works! Mainly because Weil had the foresight to send the two Baby Elf on the missile ITSELF to keep Zero busy (not to mention regular enemies) long enough for the missile to hit its target, forcing Zero to jump off at the last second.

The city is destroyed, thousands have died, Omega successfully absorbed the Dark Elf, Zero almost got killed in the explosion and if Ciel hadn’t ordered for him to get teleported out of there just in time he would have most likely been killed right there by the powered up Omega because the red guy was in no condition to fight against him judging by how he was slouching over.

I believe this is the first time we ever see Zero truly lose

Usually he either steamrolls the oppositions or manages to get one last hit in, like against Vile in X1, or the last shot he deals against Sigma in X5., or only collapsing after an entire year of fighting all alone every day in Zero 2

Here however he straight up fails his mission, he could not stop the missile in time, he could not save the people of the city and he could not stop Weil from getting the Dark Elf, and all of this not because he’s incompetent but simply because Weil has absolutely no lines he won’t cross to get what he wants and can be pretty damn crafty, knowing that Zero would play the hero trying to stop the missile and even managing to get inside it and so sending in the two Baby Elves to keep Zero busy. Now that’s a damn good first impression for a villain

On a side note: how fucking durable is Omega? He survived a point blank nuclear explosion (at least I assume it’s nuclear, it wiped out a whole city) without a scratch, yet we can damage him with regular buster shots and saber slashes? Same for the Baby Elves. At least I understand the Dark Elf what with its near limitless power

If Sonic were in Evangelion the series would end with Super Sonic duking it out with Giant Rei/Lilith and then give her and Shinji the Merlina pep talk and I don't know if I should find it hilarious

... okay but that sounds awesome

And since EoE was promoted by SEGA... crossover still possible?

Why not just make your own NEW thing instead of changing everything about an old thing until it's practically unrecognizable aside from the title?

Oh right

Because then no one would give a shit about it =P

Gotta preserve that name brand recognition. Stand on the shoulders of giants to benefit from their hard earned trust with the public while being disrespecting and dismissing of everything that makes the brand what it is because it's beneath you, and act like you're Elevating it to the status of quality content with the shining enlightenment of your vision.

#this applies to so many 'adaptations' that naming them would make me sad

I found a couple of things at my local retro game store you might find cool! The Switch case was for sale, but I didn’t buy it, while the Mega Man art was from a collection of artwork made by local artists and on display in the store’s arcade room!

Reply: that Switch case is so cool 🥺

I don't really understand the joke of the second one, but it's cute lol. I'll count it as appreciation for X8 :P

spinningbuster98 asked:

Beevy? Beevy what are you doing? Stop! You can't hate the show! It's got every race on the planet represented along with plenty of sexualities! It's such an inclusive show and that's important! It's important for these minorities to be given a voice and if you have a problem with it you can go crawl in a hole and die you disgusting racist! >:(

(It's really sad that IDW's Lesbian flag behind Tangle and Whisper is technically better LGBT rep than what NFCV tried to do with Striga and Morana and the less is said about the Alucard threesome the better)

Avatar

Can't even joke about this one because it's your average Twitter take

I feel like a broken record by repeating just how many minorities NFCV disrespects. I will jsut say that Alucard being revealed as bi after that threesome, as if him being attracted to men would diminish the trauma of being sexually deceived by one, is... gross on a level I can't put into words.

(very similar to how Hector's trauma over being sexually deceived is completely ignored by the narrative because "he was having fun" - I don't know if this counts as sexism or misandry, because "but you got hard what are you complaining about?" is something male victims of rape hear all the time... but it's certainly something that makes me feel unclean)

Yes, Tangle and Whisper are better "representation", as surface level as it is (not that I'd expect representation from a Sonic product, but hey, they're clearly trying), because those two were conceived as separate characters before the writers started shipping them. Tangle is excitable and acts before thinking, Whisper is an efficient introvert: this is something. Striga and Morana were conceived as "the two lesbians", and their personalities begin and end with each other. What does Morana do through the entire show? We are told that she loves to torture, but of course, we're never shown.

Do you think there is a chance for Juste’s furniture collecting habit to turn into something that Netflixvania misconstrues as someone being overly greedy for opulence and excess a la the corrupt French nobility.

>implying Juste will appear long enough to have substantial characterization

>implying the devs have done enough research to learn about the game's furniture room quest

My low hopes aside, you kind of nailed the whole "super serious, super deep, no fun allowed" vibe the show has. Something cute like Juste having a passion for interior decor would either be erased or turned into something like this :\

kachimera asked:

Since they're gonna need more love now, how about Richter and Maria for the blorbo bingo? :>

Avatar

A little late, but yes they do :(

Richter:

Richter joins the likes of Alucard and Soma as those characters that are so immensely popular and beloved that I'm slightly put off lmao. It's hard to explain. But I'm neutral/positive on him - I don't really think much about him, but when I do, I have a "he's cool 👍" reaction

I don't need to explain at this point that there is a reason he's so popular, and it's because he represents the cumulative failure of the Belmont clan as a concept, the immense pressure put on them and the fact that their lives are tied to Dracula. Richter is a hot-blooded hero who does fight for justice, but he also has selfish desires, mainly his desire to keep fighting after he has defeated Dracula, because if he doesn't, what good is he? Shaft could exploit them, and in doing so, Richter feels that he has besmirched the Belmont name, and that's why he gave away the VK in shame until the fated war of 1999.

Yeah, he'd be a good character to adapt into a series :) shame that it hasn't happened yet. Maybe one day :)

Maria:

Even if nothing here applies to Maria, I really like her. She's the Cream the Rabbit of Castlevania, and that makes her Best Girl :)

I don't know what to say, in RoB she brings that silly zany fun that I love about the series, and she's also OP as all hell. Love that scene in DXC where Dracula attempts his usual "I will prevail because evil festers in the hearts of men" speech, and Maria is like "sir i'm only 12".

SoTN doesn't really feature her prominently, but one can imagine how distraught she was to learn about Richter becoming Lord of the Castle... and it's implied that she met him. Ouch :(

Shout out to her SoTN design, which is one of my favorite girl designs of the series:

Very pleasant shades of green, her eyes included :)
