as someone who doesn’t play modern games (most recent i usually play are ds/3ds games), the state of 3d/cgi these days is incredible. if you had asked me to tell you if the first image you posted was from a game, I wouldn’t have been able to.

wow.

I do this a lot also, especially with animals in tv shows/youtube videos. No idea why my brain goes down that road.

If this lady is in her early 20s in this picture, she has to be in her mid to late 40s now. I wonder how she’s doing too.

she is so freaking cute. i love her name!

do you wear earrings or glasses?

Looks like it actually is a thing!

I was thinking more about the ‘reality’ which politicians present to people than states interacting with one another, but this is interesting too.

I am half awake and my brain for some reason decided that you had written ‘political realism.’ I literally read it and was like ‘huh, makes sense,’ before moving on and then abruptly stopping when my actual processing finally caught up, like ‘wait, what?’

The more I sit here considering, the more it feels like political realism should really be a thing.
