downside: going to have to include a picture of the Giza pyramids in the slides for the lecture
upside: i get to give people a crash course in why perspective matters in two frames, becausefollowed by
is such a funny sequence
i find most people who haven’t seen it in person don’t know that cairo is RIGHT THERE
I loved these perspectives so I took some of my own when I was in Cairo and yeah, they’re literally just. Right there. Pass em on your way to work, nbd
No, y'all don’t even understand.
There is literally a Pizza Hut across the street from the pyramids.
That Pizza Hut among other things is why Egyptologists laugh their asses off when we see another piece of media where the protagonists get “lost in the desert near the pyramids”, because it’s like… just turn around my dudes you’re only a seven min walk away from the nearest fastfood shop
Yall don’t know how much I adore all of this
Don’t leave this in the tags
sorry. what the fuck was that?
he gaggy on my rogers until I whoopsy-doo
My favorite holiday is when Harris descends from On High to cast Holy YouTube Essays Judgement on those who are undeserving of their Internet fame
The thing that Baldur’s Gate got right is that each companion is both extremely cool, tempered with an appropriate dose of cringe.
Gale is a powerful wizard. He uses the phrase ‘pish posh’ unironically.
Lae'zel is a badass. She asks you to fight her and then gets emotional because you’re fighting even though that was her idea.
Karlach. Badass. But we’ve all seen her idle dance moves.
Wyll is this swashbuckling vigilante and he has a pose he does whenever he says his own superhero name.
Shadowheart. Dark backstory, still striving so hard for the light. Makes a joke about poisonous flowers that falls incredibly flat.
Astarion. Capable rogue and a dangerous vampire. He practises his one-liners ahead of time. Within earshot of the people he wants to use them on.
my main criticism for Baldurs Gate 3 is that you can’t keep wreaking havoc if you accidentally polymorph into a cat
I’m late but love these outfits! They’re a vibe! ✨️
Love the idea of a universe with a human Marcy who’s a musician that goes by the persona ‘Marceline the Vampire Queen’ and she wears killer outfits like these 👌
I love parents in gay dramas. What Did You Eat Yesterday? / Kinou Nani Tabeta?
The line ‘ARE YOU HALF ASSING THE GAY LIFETSYLE’ speaks to me on a personal level
I love how they’re not even mad about their son beinf gay but like BITCH WE‘RE MEETING HIM AND IF WE DONT YOURE A DISGRACE
The parental guilt trip is so fucking universal omg I love it.
You hide your boyfriend from your parents?! You hide your boyfriend like you are ashamed??!!! Oh jail for son!! Jail for son for 1000 years!!!
HOLD THE PHONE there’s a live action version of What Did You Eat Yesterday?? how did I not know this!?
everyone should read the manga this is based on! the protagonist is a 40 year old Shiro, a gay lawyer who is somewhat neurotic and is not used to society being increasingly accepting of gay people since he’s been in the closet for so long. Introverted Shiro is held in contrast to his boyfriend Kenji, who is out and proud and a social butterfly. The story is a slow paced character study on aging gay couples and how being queer is perceived by society. We get the perspectives of the gay couple, their families, their friends and their co-workers.
btw this line in the manga was “is being gay a joke to you??”
