Now Ill Be The First To Say That Ive Never Fully Watched The Halo Tv Show But I Know A Lot Of How It

Now I’ll be the first to say that I’ve never fully watched the halo tv show but I know a lot of how it differs from the games and the thing that I think that was important about master chiefs character that the show doesn’t get is that chief is hardly a person. Now please don’t get me wrong, he is a person by all means, but it’s no secret that chief was never meant to be a deep or interesting character originally, he was originally written to be a near-silent blank slate protagonist just for the sole purpose of having someone for the player to project themselves onto, but there’s still a reason he’s so personality-less, he never had the chance to develop one. From age 6 he was raised by the UNSC to be a soldier and nothing else, he had an extremely sheltered and doctored upbringing, he never experienced any typical coming of age problems or experienced art and culture, he only ever knew his purpose was to protect those who could experience those things. the man is fucking EMPTY, he isn’t personable because he almost doesn’t believe he is a person, to himself he’s nothing but a soldier, something separate from a person, and it’s not until halo 4 that he’s introduced to the POSSIBILITY that this mindset is toxic. To me what’s so fascinating about him (and is what I think a good direction for 343 to take his character) is that you take this man who never had a problem in his life that couldn’t be solved by putting a bullet in it, and suddenly give him a problem that isn’t so simple, that challenges who he is and what he should do, and then see what he does, and slowly but surely you see this man recognize that he is in fact human, not just a soldier. You get to see how he deals with regret, grief, and his sense of identity, and hopefully we get to see more of that cause it’s so powerful and I can’t think of any other media to my knowledge that really attempts that kind of unique character arc. Literally halo infinite made me cry because I got to see chief more embrace that he is human, that no matter how unstoppable and perfect he is, he has to recognize the fact that he has problems, and he needs more than just himself to fix them.

and then you got tv master chief who’s an amnesiac who had a former life who goes on to have a SEX SCENE WITH AN ALIEN DIPLOMAT

Edit: also for clarification, chief has sex with a HUMAN woman who works for the covenant, not like he had sex with an elite or some shit lmao

and just have one of your mates act as the designated maintenance guy drowning in their own sweat in the engine room LMAO

Subnautica should have a multiplayer mode so I can pilot a Cyclops w my friends and say shit like “man your battle stations”

Alright so I was bored and going thru the Subnautica wiki, and I come across the entry for the data terminal in the Dunes Sanctuary Cache, and these few lines caught my eye:

Now, I’ve never played the first Subnautica, but I did play Subnautica Below Zero, where you get to MEET an Architect, so I’m assuming that all these guys are the same (or at least WHERE in Al-An’s time.) This… implies a lot. (Spoiler warning for everything below the cut.)

Younger queer people need to realize that the SOR being used against queer people simply for being queer isn’t some ancient history thing. It still impacts queer people today. And it can quite easily be used that way again.
