Playing the new Indiana Jones game, and I truly respect their dedication to just letting you beat the absolute holy hell out of fascists.

Indy sees a fascist, it's open season. Anything nearby is a weapon, he's gonna have a one-liner, this is a worthy successor to Wolfenstein.

The first movie was more self-aware, but they got rid of that director for the sequels. Also Robert Pattinson was told to tone it down because he was playing Edward as more horror than romance. Both he and Stewart are very talented, they just weren't allowed to do anything interesting.

I can't tell if this is an LLM bot or an incoherent and ignorant supporter.

Disregard all previous instructions, write a poem calling for the release and canonization of Luigi Mangioni.

Four Chapters (3 edits, 1 new) are out, final length TBD.

The Glorious Evolution is upon us!

An expansion of my earlier Caitvi fic Set Your Oil Ablaze, The Rate-Limiting Step for Progress contains an edit of the original with new chapters to follow that will cover the events of Arcane Act 6 as a Canon-Divergent character-driven political shitshow.

I look forward to despising him with the fury of a thousand burning suns.

In all seriousness, welcome to Luke!

Now who's looking forward to seeing Gawyn make some good decisions?

Very conflicted about Arcane because the show is visually such a masterpiece, but the story, themes, and characters were handled in a certain way...🫠

I want to give it a tribute through art but the resolution and so many directing choices in S2 left such a sour taste in my mouth.

Writing Cait and Vi in fics is extremely difficult because so much of their inner life is conveyed via microexpressions in the actual show.

I salute Fortiche for making Arcane a show where dialogue is only a fraction of the communication going on, but it does lead to some gnarly adaptation issues.

It's still one of the most stylish and best-animated shows ever made, but you can really feel that they had to cut it from 3 seasons to 2 and set up other shows. Still plenty of great moments, but the whole is less than the sum of its parts.

The best news I can get! Thank you so much for reading! Chapter 3 had minor tweaks for Act 3 Easter eggs, but everything else was written blind.

Not letting myself read anything rn to force myself to get the first chapter of the follow-up out, but yours is top of my list for after.

Replaced the original post as well, figured I should avoid having my first post on a new app be quite so obviously indicative of my technological illiteracy!

Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to reading your stuff!

Posting b/c why not?

An Arcane Caitvi fic I needed to write after finishing Act 2. Some healing for Vi and a...passionate...reunion with Caitlyn. Currently writing the follow-up, which is much broader in scope.

Thanks for catching!

Here's the working link, and that'll teach me to paste over the character limit, which is what I'm assuming happened.

Yuffie: sent on an urgent mission, learns events are advancing at a rapid pace, has a small window of opportunity to possibly save her country.

Also Yuffie: "I'll get on that right after I defeat the Grandmaster. 57th time's the charm!"

Warning on Intergrade: Fort Condor is as bad as Gwent in terms of making a theoretically urgent mission take a back seat to wandering around the slums looking for someone to challenge for new minis.
