Etho Is In His Training Arc To Win Limited Life

Stepping outside the bit for a moment, it does make me genuinely sad that so many people don’t know about Cecil or Welcome to Night Vale, and not in a like nostalgia way, in a “dear god all of these queer teens are missing out on a core part of our media history and that’s awful” kind of way.

Like I am not lying, Welcome to Night Vale really was fucking groundbreaking queer representation that was, and still is, widely loved FOR A REASON!! If you legit have never heard of it, please give it a listen!! It’s a stellar, diverse podcast full of heartfelt moments and fantastic humor and good ol’ horror that’s made me cry and laugh and helped me get to sleep when I’ve been having horrible anxiety more times than I can count, and on top of that I will never be able to describe how, in 2012 when all of the big mlm ships on tumblr were us cringey little queer teens desperately praying for something deep down we really thought we’d never get, breathtakingly refreshing it was to listen to the FIRST EPISODE and hear Cecil openly admit to being in love with another man like it was the most normal thing in the entire world. It was everything, it really was.

Yeah, Cecil got sexy-maned all to hell and we can look back on that fondly and critically, but Welcome to Night Vale was to podcasts what Korrasami and the Ruby/Sapphire wedding were to cartoons and the absolutely dismissive tone a lot of people are using when talking about it breaks my heart. This isn’t just about remembering our sexyman roots, it’s about remembering and loving a revolutionary piece of queer media that was REALLY POPULAR like it was on fucking NPR, sold out shows, best selling books, the works!! Welcome to Night Vale changed the landscape of queer media, proved in it’s own corner that stuff with queer people in it COULD sell and find wide audiences! Like this was coming out back when fucking Glee was the standard for gay rep, I’m not kidding, Night Vale was everything.

It was, and is, loved for a reason. Cecil is winning on tumblr FOR A REASON. You deserve to find out why.

(And also just like, most Reigen fans on this website HC Reigen as queer and ship him with Serizawa and so, y’all please, trust me, if you love serirei then boy do I have a fantastic queer couple for you. You want silly himbo paranormal husband shenanigans? I can give them to you. Pls come with me. You’ll like this, I promise.)

a peaceful moment

Painful as it was in the beginning, it only feels glorious now

There is truly no greater love than taking your most adored fictional character and throwing them into the emotionally-devastating angst fueled trash compactor and pressing every single button on the machine just to see what will happen

Martyn: --of really boring, slow, decision making on what we were going to do. I literally had Grian, like, dm'ing me on discord, being like--he literally said the words "for a good story, now is the time to turn on Scott." And that was a couple minutes after I already tried to initiate one, by dumping lava on Scott for the first time. Um, and then I said, "I've already tried to do that, I think everyone's already a bit too exhausted / focused on what's going on," and Grian was like, "it's painful." And I was like, "no, I know," (laughter).

Martyn: but then, like, it played out the way that it did, um, and as soon as it was all done and dusted and everything finished, Grian just messaged me and was like, "that was the right move." So, like, its the thing where, I think I'm in this really weird position within the Limited Life, or the Life Series in general, where all the Empires lot have got their die hard fans, all the Hermitcraft lot have got their die hard fans, um, whereas me--I do have an audience, don't get me wrong, but, I think my audience is rational, and calm, and they understand that entertainment comes first versus--you know, mechanics, and things like that.

Martyn: um--and I think that if I were to ever do something wrong or something to hinder one of the other players, I knew for a fact that I would get a ton of flack for it. But also--I don't care (laughs). You know what I mean? It's like--I know for a fact that the people I collaborate with, they don't care, they were doing it for entertainment purposes as well, we're all on the same wavelength, and like we've said many a time before, if it makes it to the episode, its seen by the public, then everybody that was in the session agreed with it. Everybody that, y'know, took part in it agreed that was the decision, the right thing, whatever.

grian NEEDS more appreciation for having such good subtitles on his videos. i hardly know any youtubers who have subtitles in their videos other than the auto-generated ones, and grian has custom ones with names AND color coding

So I just saw the Mario movie and

I LOVE THEIR PORTRAYAL OF BOWSER

He is everything I ever hoped he’d be. Big, powerful, scary, threatening…. but also a total theatrical goober with a soft side. Perfect.

I would love for him to grow giant for a final battle as he tends to do in the games, and for them to introduce Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings to expand on that soft side of his… but all that can wait for the sequel I suppose :P
