someone has to say it. etho is a horrifically unreliable narrator. probably as much as scar is. he’s just sneakier about it so people are less likely to expect it and more likely to fall for his facades

#i do have more thoughts on this i think but i dont have the strength to write them down so if someone else wants to please. feel free #my post #etho #ethoslab #hermitcraft #he’s a smart guy !!!! and the current perspective on him (washed up) is absolutely helping him #also in contrast to joel who is open #with his obsession with etho #etho’s actively hidden in his videos how obsessed he is with joel he made those statues #bait and switch . you know??#kinda?????

#like this is the first time he sees ash and eiji interacting and it's right after figuring out ash is lying and is suspicious of him #and it's this like overly long hand clasp that switches from lacing fingers to this and i just. yeah #banana fish #asheiji #yut lung lee #this is stupid sorry #and he decides to use eiji as bait shortly after. after the We Live In Separate Worlds thing like.#I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE 🫵🫵🫵

i do love that there's someone in the tags of The Poll now talking about how the characters in g-witch are underdeveloped when they're on episode *checks notes*... three. because all great shows finish up their characters' arcs in episode two, obviously.

#there are also complaints of a het romance? and idk I think they must be tal #*talking abt elan & suletta yeah? in ep3? but like #there's so much wrong w that sentence too skdjdksks #idk maybe it's just bc I still don't read that plotline as romantic #but I know other characters joke about it being so it's a fair reading #but. then there's the issue of: you /know/ this is a show abt a queer relationship. involving That character #and you're upset abt the bait n switch??#in EPISODE THREE. AGAIN.#anyway anyway anyway im sorry #im not gonna rb and i hope that person's tags just disappear into the mess of The Vortex #but thankyou for coming to my tedtalk #sulemio #smokey speaks #sule versus them

The companions only play cards when Astarion has had a really bad day because, like, he’s going to cheat. Everyone knows he’s going to cheat. But it makes him so happy to do it and hey at least it’s an easier way of making him Happy than letting him eat somebody.

#astarion: I had a nightmare about cazador 😢#gale: i KNOW you’re just saying that so I’ll play three dragon ante with you #I’m not falling for it!#Astarion: 🥺#wyll (weak): I’ll play with you Astarion #Astarion (planned for this bait and switch all along): so about that magic item you got today. good for betting don’t you think 😸😸#bg3 #astarion #mine

Just gonna say that mocking people for voicing their disappointment over the stream (spongebobscreamingwithflyingicecreamtruck.png “IN A CIVIL AND POLITE MANNER”) just makes you like. An asshole lmao. People are gonna be disappointed when they’re told they’re getting one thing and getting another no matter what, even if what they get instead is really good/funny.

#seeing this from both a lot of friends and mutuals and like! hey #as someone who is disappointed it’s really bothering me seeing people who I like say rude shit that applies to me?#like yeah. hlvrai fandom is annoying we know this. yeah there’s a lot of people being dicks abt this and they suck but like #dude this was the one thing getting me through finals and failing a class im allowed to say ‘hey im disappointed the thing related to my #special interest turned out to be a trick.’ even though I still enjoyed what I watched #like yeah. I’m upset. I’m really upset actually #not over the stream being a bait in switch but from peoples reactions to it on both sides of the fence lmao #everyone is being a big fucking baby over it. the hlvrai fans yelling about how much they hate RTVS ANNNNNND the people being like #‘erm if you’re disappointed you’re a fake fan. grow up. stay mad.’ like WOW #harassing RTVS over this makes you a loser. making fun of people for being disappointed makes you a loser. congratulations youre all a bunch #of whiny ass babies screaming at eachother and at each others throats over fucking half life funny #each and everyone one of you

really liking ik's dynamic with raphael already and i cant get this out of my head for when he becomes an exchange student too

rapheal: this is long overdue. it's time we talked, face to face

lucifer: *prepared for past related angst*

raphael: *walks past him to ik* i have so many questions about sharks for you

i love this.... raphael has found inner peace and learnt to let go of the past through increasingly technical animal facts, to the point where he and ik are learning a whole zoology degree's worth of information

ik will probably still make him talk things out with lucifer and/or simeon at some point, and of course this would be a proper serious discussion - but imagine with me for a moment the comedic hypothetical alternative:

raphael tries to have a serious talk-out of all his guilt (of both the religious and not religious kind), but he keeps accidentally slipping into animal metaphors the whole time. simeon's like "raphael i really appreciate the effort but i do not understand how the migratory patterns of seabirds relate to this"

#answering asks #anon asks #this happens with thirteen and mephistopheles too #bait-n-switch with thirteen and her vendetta against solomon + mephistopheles and his Issues relating to diavolo #only for them to walk in and just be like omg bestie it's you!!!! <3 #none of the others know they're even acquainted so to them ik's friend-making powers have just gotten drastically more potent

“The book 6 and 7 overblots are so serious compared to the others because they’re two of the last books in the story, Idia’s family researches blot, and Malleus is already absurdly powerful” WRONG the book 6 and 7 overblots are so serious because they were caused by love. Hope this helps.

#grief is love left to fester you know the drill #pika’s ramblings #twisted wonderland #twst #twst spoilers #I didn’t get into twst back when it came out bc it looked like a dating sim and those aren’t my cup of tea #but they pulled THE MOST DELIGHTFUL bait and switch. see these long-haired anime boys? they’ve got family drama like you wouldn’t believe #idia: *overblots to help break his little brother out of hell*#malleus: *overblots because his dad is leaving to die and his little brother cried about it*

#thief the dark project #thief 2 the metal age #yes the origins of the mechanists and city watch are fully explained #as well as the origins of the trickster and the nature of the eye #and the world's predisposition to forming citystates rather than nations and the fall of the precursors #also sorry Deadly Shadows the Keepers are not jedi and are a young Order compared to the Hammerites #go find a different series to inject your starwars fanfiction into #(I love Deadly Shadows by the way but it goes far beyond butchering the Thief story it's outright not even the same setting)#read the botany book by Constantine's bed and then play The Cathedral by the way #the nobility and barony and spiritual realm still arent fully explained though. Thief 2 Gold i miss you so much you wouldve given us it all #(T2G wouldve let us explore a noble university and the tower of the banished Hand Brotherhood acolyte)#(and also wouldve given us the actual version of Karras' story instead of the sudden ending)#Thief 3 wouldve been insane. Can you imagine the fall of the Barony and the City changing hands as the digital era approaches #oh yeah Thief is a post-electrical revolution modern setting with analogue electronics and advanced medicine didnt you know that?#you just don't see firearms often because there was little demand for them in the City compared to more versatile bows. but theyre there #theyre just used more for field and naval battle. the City is too cramped and winding for them to be effective #and there hasnt been the demand to lead to the development of advanced loading mechanisms #due to the fortification-centric nature of infrastructure (due to REDACTED) premodern structures arent torn down just reinforced with steel #yes you learn all of this if you actually play the games all the way through. the opening levels of T1 are bait and switch #portraying the world as primitive and backwards as seen through garrett's eyes #dont get me started on garrett's full character. play Ambush! and really look through his apartment

i think i'm gonna have to rewatch these last two episodes to come to terms with them and the themes of the show because so far my reaction has been

#they are streamlining less than the musical but because the musical is a Musical it's easier to forgive #maybe i'm just being a book purist but ://#i'm also maybe being too much of a mythology purist when i know pjo is not about accuracy #but bestie tf you mesn the chimera is young and learning to hunt. she very famously tried to kill bellerophon #i also would have liked some snake motifs on echidna. if there were any i didn't see them #also what was the point of leecy getting poisoned lol and How. the echidna has a serpent's tale not a scorpion's tale #the guy with the scorpion tale doesn't come in for another book #cool or whatever that the gateway ar h was a temple to athena. but why couldn't they include the fact annabeth likes architecture??#they could have still used it to hide annabeth could have just nerded out about how it was “safe” because of [architecture infodump]#ALSO WHAT'S WITH ATHENA LETTING THEM KILLED?? NO???? NO— WHAT??#echidna didn't really compel me and i Love echidna. i love mothers of monsters in mythology but she was just some white lady #i just... i don't know #i liked the bait and switch percy did though. to get grover and annabeth out #also sally 😬 girl what are you doing snapping at your kid. who are you #pjo tv

he's hot for teacher

#it's like a switch flipped in my brain and this is all i can think about #WHY #WHY WAS HE GOING TO SAY THAT mcQ #HE WANTS TO FUCK THAT OLD MAN THATS WHY #im really struggling NOT to write hangmav now im FORCING myself not to open a word doc #nsa messages #top gun maverick #between this and the “you came back for him dumbass.” line im just out here #If you want to know what baits me into a ship people think is problematic #it's the Mentor/Teacher x Student dynamic #Source: Obikin #Although I'm not at all inclined to write for roosemav but that side of the fandom seems to be having fun y'all do you #But Hangmav - yeah i can get behind it in a comedic perverse way #Although I'd have to pause me Glass Box Boyfriends Draft and im too stubborn for that

[ID: A panel from Trigun Maximum. Wolfwood and Vash, both bedraggled and bloodied, are sitting in the desert. Wolfwood is explaining, "I shot him. I tried to kill him and make it look like an accident. Then I took his place as "Chapel". My plan was eventually to kill Knives." End ID.]

Doylist explanation for the migration of the name "Chapel": Nightow invented Wolfwood as an individual character long before he invented the Eye of Michael and the character of Chapel so he added this story of Wolfwood making the switch and taking Chapel's place, banking on the Gung-Ho Guns only getting the name of the assassin to expect and not a description.

Watsonian explanation: Wolfwood knew that the Gung-Ho Guns had gotten a name but not a description, so as long as he turned up with one of the Eye of Michael's iconic weapons, he'd be golden, and Legato didn't actually give enough of a flying fuck to check in if he'd gotten the right assassin or not

#Trigun #Any angle on this is very funny to me tbh #we do sorta see this with the bait-and-switch arrival of Double Fang and Tri-P of Death #via murdering two utter randos with just enough iconography to make them look Eye of Michael #Like do you think if those randos had gotten in and said they were the hired assassins would Legato even know?

Dear YA Publishing, Marketing, and Design Gremlins:

If you fuckers don’t stop making First Of Series books ENTIRELY VISUALLY INDISTINGUISHABLE from Complete Standalone books I am going to crawl through the air vent in your office and not stop biting until animal control tranquilizes me.

#babble tea (blacklist this for less chatter)#I ranted about this in the group chat but I got home and it turns out no I'm still mad about it #this is why I read fanfiction more than real books #do you know how many times a fic has lied to me about being actually done? like. twice.#do you know how many times published books have pulled this bait-and-switch bullshit? SO MANY I HAVE LOST COUNT.
