Jedi Survivor in a nutshell and a silly comic. Yehhhh
I love how much Cal loves all his lil aminal frens ;—; I spam the R1 button while riding a nekko so I can hear all the cute things he says to it!
(Oops, I turned this into a sticker. See example under the cut!)
So I finally got my hands on a ps5 and the first thing I did with it was play my ps4 copy of Shadow of Mordor (as one does) and maaaaannnn im thrown back into how much I love and adore Talion and Celebrimbor but not as this angsty game canon "forced to be together and betray each other" but in a "God wouldn't it be fun if fanon celebrimbor just went off about how much he loves Dwarves and crafting and Talion is being haunted by a loveable and brilliant yet socially naive ages old Elf who is burdened by Elf made horrors beyond comprehension?"
Talion asks about Celebrimbor's skills with a bow and he goes off about his uncles Ambarussa and Celegorm, or asks about Eregion and ruling and he gets tales of Maedhros and Caranthir, maybe Talion has trouble sleeping one night and Celebrimbor sings him a song he learned from his uncle Maglor.
He tells tales of his Dwarven husband Narvi, of his mother who died when Eregion fell, of the young Elven girl he adopted with Narvi as a babe, who kept him going after his husband's passing, and never got to grow up. He learns about cousins and uncles and aunts and grandparents who should by all accounts are important figures of history but Talion only knows of them as Uncle Finarfin that got bit by a swan, or cousin Fingon who once climbed a tree to help Celebrimbor get down and broke a tree branch on his way down and ended up breaking a wrist protecting the young Elf.
For that is all either of them have, just stories to tell of people they have loved and who have moved on without them, by no fault of their own. They are each other's company during such horrible times, and they both care for the other deeply.
When the Age of Elves is at an end and the Shadow is banished, I believe they deserve a kinder ending, one with one last journey together, and being able to visit the White City one last time, maybe having a glimpse of the New King. Maybe They keep walking, passing through the Gap of Rohan and walking into the Land of Holly. Celebrimbor could tell a few more tales, maybe even one of the father he never speaks of. They sit in the ruins of an old castle, one that feels like home to both, and together they pass over to The Halls and whatever the Gift of Men has in store for Talion. A red dawn can kiss the cheek of the body they both inhabited as they leave.
A new CRPG by Obsidian set in the same world as Pillars of Eternity???
Oh, it's First Person, nevermind.
PSA
don’t know what’s funnier: that we just accept that those little bot feet can hold onto clothes and he climbs without a hitchon or imagining that he has little claws in there and Cal just needs all of his Jedi training to not whince like someone whose cat just climbs tham like a mountain with spikes on XD
One of these days Cal is going to take off his shirt and his back will be covered in claw marks.

Special shoutout to Daniel Roebuck (Greez) for sharing a Mantis Crew group picture! I've never seen one before so it makes me so happy to see the four of them together (with a bonus hug pic with Cameron too 😊). I love this crew so much!!
“The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.
And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.”

sorry für die teilweise weirde Kategorisierung, musste schaffen alle in eine Umfrage zu bekommen uff
"An elegant weapon for a more civilised age."
i have very little interest in watching c2 mostly because of the insufferable attitude of some parts of the fandom that's like "well you can like vox machina or bells hells i GUESS but can't you at least admit that m9 is objectively better in every way"
that being said—fjord, jester, and the aeor arc are carrying the appeal of the campaign on their backs and if i watch it, i will do it for them 🫡
don't get me wrong, i love VM so much and they'll always be my favorites, but c1 feels so...DnD, i guess? whereas late c2 and ESPECIALLY c3 and exu feel more like exandria, and i'm more interested in exandria. and i wish VM would have gotten the chance to engage more with the lore of the world and i'm sad that we'll never get that from them as PCs, but i'm also incredibly put off by seeing them get trashed because "Our Thing Better"
