YOU! Oh Wise One!

conversation around the militia base that goes something like

"How come Cooper and BT keep getting sent on cool missions?"

"The alternative is that they find ways to entertain themselves."

as much as i love the music in armored core 6 i still think for answers title screen is the best piece in the series. the dancing echoey piano as the strings swirl around it, overlapping melodies that build up until they hesitate for just long enough to collect themselves, before their combined weight hits you all at once. it fills me with visions of the end of the world. rarely have i heard such a piece that is so hauntingly beautiful and also so visually striking. the climbing of the strings as they ascend to the highest notes they can reach, screaming out with the pain of a hundred million souls, before they find themselves snuffed out, only the piano remaining as it continues to dance across the sky, disappearing into the distance.

Is it possible to catch an arrow?

Maybe, but I wouldn’t bet my life on it!

hiiiiii :)

The reason I like history so much is the way you can see how unchanging human nature is. People have always been doing the same things, with different tools. Ancient Sumerians writing "I am not warning you now in hopes that you'll actually do anything, I am writing this to later prove that I warned you and you did nothing" messages in clay tablets like you'd write an office e-mail. Ancient philosophers talking about shepherds and archers, explaining the exact same problem you had this morning, like they're personally calling you out.

200 years ago, somebody was complaining about Kids These Days burying their faces in books in order to avoid socialising just the same as someone else is now ranting how their children would rather browse their phones than listen to them rant. People were arguing anonymously in the posting boards and newspaper sections just the same as they do on the internet. Someone in the bronze age woke up at 5 am to the sound of toddlers fighting over complete nonsense just the same as someone woke up to the same noises today.

For as long as there have been people, there have been people doing the same kind of things as you. From some dude in a cave with berries for paint, some Roman planning a mosaic on a wall, ancient Chinese noblewoman illustrating her calligraphed poem and some medieval monk decorating the borders of a manuscript and me on my laptop with my stylus pen, we're all just sitting here in our different times and places, wondering why the FUCK are horses so hard to draw.

fromsoft calling us filthy dogs over and over again in all the released ac6 footage:

What, the forest-dwelling entities with imperfect human mimicry who insinuate themselves into groups of hikers? Yeah, we had one of those. Clocked it immediately, of course. Honestly it kind of fell in that so-inept-it's-kind-of-charming range. We just played along until it'd had it's fill of marshmallows and shambled back into the treeline. We might have been violating some kind of killjoy wildlife contact best practices but what the hell, can't plan around every little thing. Why, what happened to you guys
