SHANG-CHI (2021) Fan Revision

In my previous posts in @welcome-to-the-cafe I posted multiple rants about the movie itself. (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3). For such a great movie, there were still some flaws, which I will attempt to correct here.

Large fish first.

I hated the final CGI fest. Not the Ten Rings battle between Wenwu and Shang-chi, the one with ugly CGI monstrosity. "Dweller in the Darkness", for a name so mysterious, the result sure was a pretty generic bat-winged western dragon-shaped bastard. Really, as soon as it popped out of the cave, it stopped being scary; it stopped doing the one thing that made it more frightening than Wenwu, which was telepathically manipulate Wenwu using his dead wife's voice. That shit was creepy! Why stop it for the climax?? We need to involve the Ten Rings themselves in its creepiness. They should be empowered directly by the Dweller and dark feelings, and the Rings should partially transfer to Shang-Chi at his lowest, most-rage filled moment.

Plus, for all of the Chineseness of the rest of the movie, the Dweller in the Darkness looked incredibly Western. I can't think of one thing it references in Chinese mythology, which was strange since Morris does! It's a Hundun （混沌）, one of the Four Perils (四凶), why not use another one of them, like the Qiongqi (穷奇）. Especially the Qiongqi, since it supposedly eats people, so we can keeping the soul-sucking mechanic.

The little bat-spawns are also poorly-designed, and not fun to watch the martial artist army fight. Martial arts are meant to fight other people, by the Heavens, not weird flying tentacle things. Why is Ta Lo's training anti-human instead of anti-monster? Because anti-human training looks cooler. And we can keep that, with a solution I'll explain after complaining about the Dragon.

The CGI Kaiju battle between the dragon and dweller was cinematic, but it eliminated the kung fu from the final fight, reducing both Shang-Chi and Xialing to boring dragon riders. The dragon wasn't really something that deserved to be a character. I get that Shang-Chi is supposed to have his 'awakening' moment, where he embodies the dragon his mother teaches him about at the beginning of the movie. But the dragon doesn't have to be "real", it should be more of a spirit that goes into him, or comes out of his heart and empowers his body. Either way, it should be more of an internal instead of external dragon. This better reflects the internal emotional conflict of Shang-Chi, his guilt over not saving his mother and then doing terrible things to get revenge; he has to let that go, accept her loss, and with that, he can let his inner dragon out. Just like...shit, just like in Kung Fu Panda 3 lmao.

So what are my solutions to the climax?

1) Make Dweller in Darkness possess Wenwu. Or suck his soul, and then take his shape. Maybe even take the shape of the mother as well at first!

2) Make the little soulsuckers transform into shadow martial-artists. They still can only be killed by dragon weapons.

3) Make the dragon a spirit that rises out of the water that goes into Shang-Chi and Xialing, enabling them to fight Wenwu/Dweller more evenly.

Here's my altered sequence of events.

The 5 humvees still arrive, the small skirmish between the Ten Rings and the villagers still happen (without the giant lions). Wenwu and Shang-Chi still duke it out, and Wenwu knocks him away. Wenwu makes the big leap to the sealed cave, and Xialing and the aunt notice. The aunt activates a magic thing that raises a giant bridge from the depths of the water and Xialing crosses over to fight her dad. Wenwu pounds the door a bit more, and the Dweller's minions shoot out in black mist, forming into humanoid shapes that begin fighting the villagers and Ten Rings.

Meanwhile, Shang-chi is having a flashbacks in the water of killing his mother's murderer, in the process, one of the Ten Rings that is knocked away during Xialing and Wenwu's fight finds its way into the water and revives Shang-Chi. He joins the fight just as Xialing is knocked aside, apparently over the cliff. Shang-Chi loses it, and fights his father more brutally, until 5 of the rings transfers to him. They whisper to him to make his father pay, and he knocks his father into the door, shattering it, and seemingly killing Wenwu. Shang-Chi is appalled at what he's done, and he collapses and drops his 5 rings. He hears his sister calling for help, and he rushes over to see her hanging off the edge of the cliff. He can't reach her, and he cries to her that he's sorry for everything. Xialing forgives him for abandoning her before, saying that him coming to Macau meant a lot, and that their mother would be proud of him. With effort, he pulls her up, while the 5 rings to his father who rises from the rubble. Shang-Chi said their mother wouldn't be proud after what he's done for revenge, but Xialing tells him that he needs to accept what has happened.

Wenwu looks triumphant at the open gateway, but a dark mist spills in front of him and take the rough shape of his wife. He is about embrace her, but she grabs him around the wrist and possesses him through the Rings. Dweller uses Wenwu's and Ying Li's voices to taunt Shang-chi and Xialing.

Shang-chi finally lets go of his guilt and stops "running away". The spirit of the dragon rises from the sea and goes into him and his sister, empowering them. They double-team the Dweller/Wenwu until he blows them back with "Enough!". The little soulsuckers return with their spoils, strengthening the Dweller, and now he has the advantage. He defeats both of them, holds Shang-chi down, trying to steal his soul. Xialing is trying to pull him away. Shang-chi looks his father in his eyes and tells him he forgives him and he is still a good man. This awakens Wenwu inside the Dweller, and in one dramatic moment, transfers the Ten Rings to his son. With this, Shang-chi knocks Wenwu/Dweller back, and Xialing restrains him with the ropedart. Shang-chi performs exorcism, deleting Dweller forever, but Wenwu is mortally wounded. He tells Shang-chi and Xialing that he loves them, and he will tell their mother how proud he is of them, then dies.

Rest of the movies is the same.

Oh, we do need to deal with the secondary characters.

Katy shouldn't be good at archery, but could save Guan Bo/Razorfist/Death Dealer in a key moment, maybe just by tacking. She could do more to counsel Shang-Chi and Xialing before their big moments.

Death Dealer was wasted. Unique, memorable design (if kinda half-assed), only to be ignominiously soulsucked first by CGI uglies. He is basically Shang-chi's primary martial arts tutor, so should know a variety of martial arts styles. To incorporate his opera mask (a full-faced one), and add even more mystery, he should be a bianlian (变脸), a Chinese facechanger, and for each face he has a different kungfu style. This could be used to semi-humorous effect, with mocking faces and angry faces. And a Monkey King face when he's using a staff! We should not see the glint of his eyes. Before Xialing runs across the bridge to fight Wenwu, she should have a showdown with Death Dealer to show she did learn kung fu even without him. They fight to standstill, until the aunt steps in and they kick his ass together. I think he should live too, and have a team up with the aunt to delete soulsuckers.

Oh I know now, Katy, Morris and Slattery should have a comical chase/fight with Razorfist. He screams "You! I recognize you from the bus! And you stole my car!!!", and he charges at them, ignoring everyone else. They find a way to beat him up, and think they've lost him, but he gets back up and almost has them, until the soulsucker bois nab him. Katy, being a good person, fires and arrow and saves his ass.

These, and some aesthetic changes, like giving the young mom a thin flowy cloth mask instead of her noisy bamboo one, would bring the movie up from a 7.5 to a 9.5 for me.

NOTHING. it was my favorite khux blade though so grrrr 7/10

Been down the broken road now, been through that fire. There's angels holding onto both sides of the wire. I'm lacking what I need to carry you through it. Stay back or get on track 'cause I can't have you ruin it. I said hold on but don't hold me back, hold on but don't hold me back, hold on but don't hold me back, just hold on.

Her boss battle theme: Gonna Be A Legend - The Phantoms

Gonna take it all. Watch me crush it like a wrecking ball. On fire, so high, to the top is where I'm heading. Gonna be a legend. You're looking at a legend. I'm never giving in. I'm never quittin', because my history is still being written. Don't tell me what I can and can not do. I'd hate to have to make a fool out of you.

Her love song: A Place Only You Can Go - NEEDTOBREATHE

Grace, she comes with a heavy load. Memories, they can't be erased. Like a pill I swallow that makes me well, but leaves an awful taste. Oh, I know this song won't do enough to prove my love to you. In my heart you'll always know there is a place only love can go. There is a place only you can go.

Her sad times song: Through Smoke - NEEDTOBREATHE

When their whispers have painted pictures that make you doubt what you once believed in. Paper stories that hide the glory to keep us searchin' .  Through smoke (who do you believe when you can't get through?) Through smoke (when everything you know seems so untrue?) Through smoke (when I'm lost in a place that I thought I knew?) Through smoke (give me some way that I might find you.)  

A song that fits her aesthetic: Feet Don’t Fail Me Now - yet another NEEDTOBREATHE

I got this target right here on my back. They're aiming where I was, not where I'm at. They ain't stopped me since I was eighteen. I'm moving faster than my enemies. I can't slow down. I can't get stuck. I'd rather die than have to hang it up. Don't wanna look up and it be over. Don't want to wish that I had longer. It's my time. Yeah, it's my town. I pray my feet won't ever slow me down. Don't fail me now.

A song that reminds her of a better time: Born Bold - Valley of Wolves

Moving these mountains that are in my view. No room for doubting, gotta see it through. I’m on the road like a renegade. I’ll be the storm and I’ll ride the wave. Gonna ride this wave. And I chase this river to the ends of the Earth, but it won't rattle my bones. It won't rattle my bones. While my soul is free on this wide open road, and I'm bringing it home, bringing it home. I was born bold.

A song that calms her down: Relentless - Lost Stars

(If by “calm her down” you actually mean “helps her blow off some steam”.)

Oh, you're gonna see a dark horse on the outside, but I'm on the rise. Underestimated, but I got a fire. Go ahead and condescend me. Cast me aside, I won't be denied. No, the sun's not going down on me tonight. Here I go! Yeah, I feel it deep in my soul! I'm a landmine ready to blow. My aim is unshakable. I'm unbreakable! I've been grinding and fighting my way on the front line for all of my life, but this is the turn of the tide and you're not gonna take me alive. I'm on a roll! And the whole world's about to know! I'm not gonna take this, I am relentless.

A song that gets her hyped up: The Champion - The Score

I'm a savage, I'm a fighter. Making noise in these streets Haymakers like a fire, throwing hooks to a beat. Got my finger on my pulse, it's steady. I was built for the speed. Automatic, shift gears, I'm ready. Headstrong, I believe. When I close my eyes and count to ten, all I feel's the adrenaline. And when the pain begins to set, all I hear is: long live the champion.

Spring: Run, Devil, Run - David Crowder

I got somethin' make the devil gonna run. Keep him dancin' 'til the break of dawn. Devil gonna try to take a shot at me. He got none, but baby I got three. He try to make a fool out of me, Gone pickin' at my sanity. He ain't nothin' but a silver tongue and I got somethin' make the devil gonna run, I got somethin' make the devil gonna run, I got somethin' make the devil be gone. Run devil, run devil, run devil, run. You bet your bottom dollar he gonna be gone. I got somethin' make the devil gonna run. Run devil, run devil, run devil run.

Summer: Fire to the Night - Native 51

So many years biting my tongue. Now I'm throwing stones, and spitting blood, I'm spitting blood. I'll set a fire to the night just to watch it burn. I'll pick a fight and cause a scene just to make it hurt. I'll fan the flame so I can take it higher. Gonna set a fire to the night. Had my fill playing it cool. You won't see me playing a fool, no you won't. Only so much I can take. You push too hard, I'm gonna break, yeah.

Autumn:  Deep Water - American Authors

It comes and goes in waves. It always runs back but it's never quite the same. Well, I think there's something wrong with me. Got nothing to believe, can't you see it on my face? I was going for the title, got hit by your tidal wave. Can't stay in the shallows, please tell me I won't wash away, When it pulls me under, will you make me stronger? Will you be my breath through the deep, deep water? Take me farther, give me one day longer. Will you be my breath through the deep, deep water?

Winter: Natural - Imagine Dragons

Will you hold the line when every one of them is giving up or giving in? Tell me. In this house of mine, nothing ever comes without a consequence or cost, tell me. Will the stars align? Will Heaven step in? Will it save us from our sin? Will it? 'Cause this house of mine stands strong. That's the price you pay. Leave behind your heart and cast away. Just another product of today. Rather be the hunter than the prey. And you're standing on the edge, face up 'cause you're a natural. A beating heart of stone. You gotta be so cold to make it in this world. Yeah, you're a natural, living your life cutthroat. You gotta be so cold. Yeah, you're a natural.

The song that plays while she’s lying on the ground bleeding out in a Walmart: Hard Times - Vision Vision, Congratulationz

I see hard times coming. I feel a flood in my veins. I hear a warning in the thunder. I got a sinking in my chest. These thoughts keep running, running, running, running. These thoughts keep running, running, running, running. I see hard times coming. I see hard times coming.

The song that would play each morning if she were stuck in a time loop: Nowhere to Go - Arch Leaves

Hogtied. Feel my heart is racing. This time, I'll be ready waiting. Outside. So close, I can taste it. This time I will bring you down. You can run, you can hide. I will bring you down.

The song she’d listen to while robbing a Wendy’s: Nothing Personal - Stella and the Storm

Well I've been down so many roads. Run out of room real fast and I need space to grow. I don't have a future, I forgot my past, but I know I've made a real bad habit of falling in love too fast. So believe me when I tell you that I wish that I could stay. But I'm leaving in the mornin', and I just want to let you know it's nothing personal.

The song she’d accidentally introduce to people in medieval times if she were a time traveler: Hallucinogenics - Matt Maeson

Pushin' past the limit, trippin' on hallucinogenics. My cigarette burnt my finger 'cause I forgot I lit it. Rippin' with my sinners 'cause fuck it, man, I ain't no beginner. And then I crawled back to the life that I said I wouldn't live in. 'Cause I just couldn't open up, I'm always shiftin'. Go find yourself a man who's strong, and tall, and Christian.

The song she’d play in the middle of the night when her neighbors are being too loud: The Punisher Main Title - Tyler Bates

The song that plays at her funeral: Be Here Long - NEEDTOBREATHE

Close my eyes and think of you. Go to sleep and dream of you. We don't get to be here long. I gave you the best of me, loved you more than anything, but we don't get to be here long. We don't get to be here long.

The song that plays when it’s revealed that they faked their death: DON’T BRING THAT TROUBLE - NEEDTROBREATHE

(Comes full circle!)

I've had it rough, I had to move for a while. Locked down the house and chained it up with denial. I'm coming home and everyone is invited. Singing, don't bring that trouble with you, don't bring that trouble with you. I found a way around you, it don't take me higher. Last time, the way I loved you, I just wound up tired. I'm lacking what I need to carry you through it. Stay back or get on track cause I can't have you ruin it. I said, hold on, but don't hold me back, hold on, but don't hold me back, hold on, but don't hold me back. I said, hold on.

RELATIONSHIP BUILDING || @drecmcrcfters || accepting

Send 💤 for my muse to say something about yours in their sleep.

▬▬ι═══════ﺤ 🔥 || While his nightmare isn’t full of endless aches, there are times he cannot go any further, as he treads to reflection lakes. Scorpion cannot control his anger or the care he fakes, but the Infernal Demon with its undead minions couldn’t hold him in an inescapable mandible as their vicious meteorite destruction couldn’t collide, to instantaneously extinguish the mighty embers dwelling in the depth of his indomitable soul. He exists without colliding into things, without wrecking havoc, without destruction - he now has a place where he could fit in, without having to violently collapse into it. Yet - in his dreams, he finds himself limp and motionless with his body wrapped around decay. His bedsheets covered in skin that he shed, despite trying his goddamn hardest not to crawl out of it tonight. 

A moment later, he finds himself waking up from a nightmare, or maybe he never even fell asleep; and that this is real life and maybe real life only lasted a fraction of a second as he would strenuously attempt to steal the covers and he is left making friends with the dead. Hanzo may be more familiar with all the scorched earth than endless forests of serenity, but how he would exhale plumes of better off alone, for he could hold four walls with two arms outstretched, two fists now full of good intentions and a gob of sake between his cheeks as as the dark olive of his flesh would still be tinged with the festivities of mid-autumn hues. The light of his fire remains stark in their brightness against the backdrop of a cloudless night sky, hung beneath rows and rows of lantern lines anchored across post to post, a multitude of lanterns swaying in time with the further deepening stretch of onyx night. 

Soon, the courtyard of the Shirai Ryu will fill with clash of cymbals and beating of drums, a lion soaring through the open air as the crew of lion dancers will snake their way across the training grounds, as a round of laughter and cheers will swell the expanse of the open grounds, and standing amidst it, Grandmaster Hanzo Hasashi will stand erect in unyielding composure as a pillar of an ancient building; seemingly timeless, strangely eternal. 

Nightmare Awakener, the gravel hoarseness of his baritone voice calls Marzena out in desperation; while Hanzo still retains her engraved kisses into his skin and there is still warmth in every spot her lips have ever touched, Hanzo Hasashi finds himself, along with bundled embers of his being, dwindle and disintegrate, as if he was long meant to be. For dying is an art, like everything else, and he has high penchant for seeking high aesthetic in every aspect of his life. “Even in the world of chaos, I will choose peace of your caress and comfort,” how his thoughts effortlessly ooze beneath the mumbled lips, without filteration, without murky excess. “How you lift me up, for you lighten the stacked obsidian black of my heart tissues, and gratuitously brighten them with newfound, revivified whispers of swirling affection, desire, yearning, and love.”  ▬▬ι═══════ﺤ 🔥 ||

Radiata Stories review! (spoiler free - long post!)

I am SPEECHLESS. I can't believe I spent so many years without knowing about this game. My friend thoroughly recommended it to me but with my ps4 and many other pc games, I just wasn't in the mood for a ps2 oldie. But here I am, and I want to spread the word: play Radiata Stories.

In the world of Radiata, the land is divided into regions that belong to different races: elves, dwarves, orcs, humans (and ronsos – no, sorry, wrong game – but you can't fool me there's a lion guy who looks like Kimahri from FFX). These species have been at odds since time immemorial, and thus the dragons – Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Silver and Gold – have guarded their beings from above.

We follow Jack Russell, a 16-year-old who dreams of becoming a knight. We accompany him to the entrance exams, only to see him fail miserably against a girl, Ridley Silverlake. Despite his clumsiness and obvious embarrassment for having been defeated, he's allowed to join the Radiata Knights, alongside Ridley, only because he's the son of an important late knight. They form a new brigade called Rose Cochon, under Captain Ganz Rothschild's leadership.

This trio will be sent into action in no time. Their dynamics are fun and there's a bit of rivalry between the two new knights, but they get things done. Ganz is proud to finally be able to be captain of his own brigade, and regards his two pupils with care and wisdom. This seems to be the flow the story is going to follow.

An important quest arrives: Rose Cochon brigade must reach the Elf Region and ask the Light Elves leader for a favor. However, things get tough in their journey there: a blood orc attacks the Dark Elves village, and the brigade plunges in to fight and defend.

In the battle, Ridley gets mortally wounded. Jack gets all frantic and desperate, and the brigade asks for the Elves' help. Lord Nogueira, the Dark Elf leader, decides to do the unthinkable for non-humans: the only way to save Ridley is to perform the transpiritation ritual, a spell only available for elves that allows them to take the soul of a dying fellow and use it to heal another one who might still live.

The ritual is successful, and Ridley's soul is fused with that of a small elf who'd died in the battle. Everything seems to settle down for a bit, with Jack and Ganz returning to Radiata City filled with good hopes for Ridley.

The next day, you're fired from the Knights.

This is where the game opens up for you!

From now on, it's just you, Jack, in the middle of a big city, paving his way to the top of the Vancoor Theater guild, the guild of warriors. Since the only thing you can do is fight, better to put it to good use and earn some money in the process!

The game offers a variety of things to do. You can start recruiting people as party members. You know, like, in Dragon Age, you can recruit characters into your team? Or, in any other rpg, that you have a team of five or six characters, maybe some more? Yes? Ok, here in RS you can recruit (listen to me) over 170 characters. Yep, you read right. Mind you, you can't recruit them (catch 'em all) in your first playthrough, but just so you know, yes, this game is that big.

Some people will ask you for a favor before they're added to the 'friend list', but others will join your right off the bat. Once you have a respectable team of four party members that you choose, you can begin doing solo missions, which are the guild's assignments to you and will redound in money and goodies. You get to know the other guild's members, you get to fight alongside them, you get to know and care for the civilians in the city. With a night-day system, if this game is anything, is alive.

NPC's have their own schedule: following the clock in the top left corner, they do and say different stuff depending of the moment of the day you approach them. They're walking around the city, performing random things, making them seem alive. Some events are only available at night, some others only during day. Some people will be nice, others not so much. Some parts of the city will shine, others will look depressing and dirty. Birds chirp, trees are swept by the wind's fine breeze, mosquitoes swarm around – this game breathes life into its pixels in every corner.

Now that we're on the aesthetic aspect, I must admit, this game looks gorgeous. With a very prominent anime artstyle, still it aged pretty well for today's standards: sometimes the lighting was too real, the sunlight pouring from the mountain's side, the character's long shadow stretching onto the road. The animations are good as well, as are the physics: I am beyond amazed by how well clothes and hairs move as flawlessly as if they were real. Each of the recruitable characters have a different victory pose and they have different lines for everything. Some particle effects are really nice, since I didn't think there existed the technology for it back then. The main city is huge, and when I say huge, I mean, every door you see, you can enter, and inside you'll find at least a two-floor building with objects to interact with and people to talk to. And don't even get me started on how BIG the Vareth Institute is in itself – and all that stuff is optional! The world is also vast and filled with brimming elements, although don't be fooled by the illusion of 3D: this game is, mostly, a 2D experience when you want to go from point A to point B.

You'll spend a good chunk of your game doing tasks for the guild. In the meantime, Ganz is somewhere playing the bandit and Ridley is hearing voices in her head. In this 'middle' part of the game, the story seemed to drag on forever for a bit: I wanted to go on with the main plot, and, while you can actually do that (just hit the sleep option over and over until a cutscene appears), the game tends to make you go through long and tedious solo missions to get that Grind™ you need. Dungeons are not long or too big in reality, but the number of encounters (which are forced on you since you can't avoid enemies by circling around most of the times for the 2D aspect) turns what should've been a walk in the park into a dragging hell. This portion of the game, I'm not going to lie, seemed a bit too long for me. And since the gameplay mostly consists in pressing the circle button and hearing Jack yell "Ha! Haiiyaah! Ha! Haiiyaah!" for ten hours straight, yeah, it can get boring.

But I guess the game was trying to make you feel at ease, comfortable around these walls. You're training your fave party members, you go with them everywhere to play the warrior and earn some money, you get occasional messages from Ridley telling you everything's fine – until the plot makes a halt and suddenly you must choose.

I'll keep this spoiler free, but this game is almost fifteen years old, so these are no news: there will come a point where the plot branches into two possible paths, the Human side, and the Non-Human side. I can't tell you which one is right, for there seems to be pros and cons in both, so I'll let your heart decide. For what we care now, I chose the Non-Human side, completely convinced with my decision, only to see myself doubt in many instances.

At this point, your plot shakes. Your comfort zone breaks. Suddenly, things are changing: your team is not there anymore, Ridley acts weird, where the hell is Ganz, what's going on with the dragons? Who am I supposed to trust in this world full of people who just want to exterminate each other?

I won't spoil it. I'll just say, that whatever you choose, please stand firm by your decision. You'll need that conviction, because the game is going to make your ground tremble a few times. And with those endings that await you – man, I don't know if I want to finish either path.

So, to avoid spoilers, I'll talk about the characters a bit!

Jack is your main protagonist, as you could've guessed. He's your average shonen main guy, at least in the beginning hours. He's clumsy, he wants to be a hero, and he even mocks shonen protagonists by saying that he'll awaken to a dormant power and save the world with his friends. But life hits him hard, accuses him of things he hasn't done, and so Jack evolves across the story. His character development is subtle, but it's there: he starts off as a brat who wants to fight, ends on a mature note, with some quite insightful thoughts and reactions I haven't expected from him. Normally, the shonen guy remains a shonen guy; this doesn't happen here. Jack ends up being an adorkable character, worthy of respect, sympathy, and a force to be reckoned with.

Ridley remains a calm force during the game. She's collected, she's well-educated, and she knows her way around. At the beginning, she can't stand Jack much, but as days go by, she starts to consider him as an equal and true friend. In the Non-Human path, her romantic feelings towards him are crystal clear: there's a small spark between them, that flickers every now and then when the plot allows them a moment's respite. Only them and a handful of other characters know the truth behind the transpiritation event, and as such there's a profoundly deep connection that keeps them together, although they're separated most of the story.

Ganz is ma fave boi and he must be protected at all costs. A young and promising man, Ganz was created to be likeable. You can't help but sympathize with his funny appearance: chubby, huge armor, huge sword, and funny moustache. But he's also a man of wisdom, with a golden heart. He's righteous and wants to do good. And he deserves all the love in the world.

Other notable characters are Genius, a scientist who's obsessed with the transpiritation thing that went down, and may know more about the plot than it seems at first glance; Natalie, a guarding woman who works as Ridley's not-so-secret bodyguard; Larks¸ the leader of the Knights and whose motivations remain a mystery to me even to this day – I can't read into this character at all!; Lord Zane, the leader of the Light Elves, who laughs maniacally when no one is watching and I can't bring myself to like him; Gawain, Ganz's father, who disappeared 16 years ago since his best friend died; and Cross, Ridley's fiancé, who just wants to be the best hunter and paves his way to the top of the knight ranks by any means necessary. I hate this guy so much, his only trait is 'I am a bad person' and that's it, he's so cartoonishly evil it makes me want to punch the screen. Probably you see more of him in the Human path, but unless he has a very tragic backstory to redeem him, he's not likeable at all. I mean, you can say that he has ambition and he gets s*it done, but still, damn him, and his voice actor, UGH.

Despite some minor thingies, the relationship between the characters is gold. Jack and Ridley are cute and make me wanna draw the meme of NOW KISS every two seconds. Jack and Ganz are companion goals. Ganz and his father – I loved that they kept their interactions personal and off screen. Idk why, but this story is about Jack, and yes, I care for Ganz as well, but his trouble with his father was his own, not Jack's, so I guess this is a director's decision which I'm 100% behind.

The plot can get predictable at times, but there's also a healthy amount of plot twists that made my jaw drop in a few occasions. I mean, I guessed who the bad guy was since the beginning, but let's face it, it's pretty obvious and the game doesn't hide it. There are other things that made the plot unfold worth my time, like trying to recruit that awesome character, or like what is the deal with Jack's late father, or what the hell is going on with Ganz, and what will happen to the city now that I'm on the Non-Human side? And the game answers them all (I read that the manga answers even more questions, so treat yourself).

All in all, RS is a vast jrpg experience, with high replay value and tons of things to explore. The world seems small, but it isn't. There's always a reward for those who wander off. For a ps2 title, this game is giant. And in the good sense. I thought I had seen the pinnacle of the ps2 era with Final Fantasy XII, but I'm highly considering changing my view on that one.

The endings are bittersweet in both paths. There's not a complete happy ending, I warn you. Things get darker towards the end, and the story knows how to subvert expectations in the good way. Remember Jack saying he wanted to be the hero like in a shonen anime? Well, not happening in this game guys. At the end of the day, this isn't a shonen story: this is a Radiata Story (roll credits), and like in every country's history, sometimes blood must be shed for events to take place and situations to unfold.

I am beyond pleased with this game. I'm considering playing through the Human side now – but first I need to recover myself from this Non-Human ending. I'm not ready to face more tragedy yet.

Go play it. Just do it. You won't regret it.

And pray that Tri-Ace develops ONE DAY a decent sequel.

Nationality: Born in some small village/settlement during the Age of the Ancients. However, his mother left with him soon after and thus he never really spent much time there. As an adult he would, of course, identify as a proud citizen of Anor Londo. Later, after abandoning his post, he would claim no affiliation or interest in any nation. 

Gender: demigender-masculine. He/him pronouns.

Romantic Orientation: Demiromantic; he doesn’t experience romantic attraction, at all, unless there’s a deep emotional connection beforehand.

Sexual Orientation: Demisexual; he seldom experiences sexual attraction unless there’s romantic attraction beforehand. Pansexual, with a strong preference for men and non-binary folk, then very little interest in cisgender women (mostly aesthetic and sensual).

Religion: He would say his faith and trust are with Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight — although, there was a time when his devotion belonged solely to Gwyn’s Firstborn; Prince of Sunlight and God of War. 

Relationships.

Birth Order: Only child, as far as he knows.

Parents: Father unknown — and unimportant to him. His mother was a nomadic scavenger, who abandoned her young son as soon as she thought he could survive on his own.

Eyes: large and almond shaped, very light amber/hazel with notable flecks of dimly luminous gold.  

Skin: Light to medium, warm undertone, scarred in several places.

Hair: Rich red, slightly wavy, waist-length; worn loose during times of peace, then neatly braided and tucked under his helmet when fighting in the battlefield. (The red plume is reminiscent of his hair, yes… but it’s just a plume.)

Height: 2.7 m / 9 ft.  

Body Build:  Tall and wiry muscular, thanks to a life of unfaltering ardours training. Long and strong limbs, broad shoulders, narrow waist, thick muscular thighs and arms, overall hourglass shaped. However, his body always tends to be lean rather than burly, as a consequence of the severe undernourishment he suffered during his childhood.

Notable Physical Traits: Height, hair, eyes.

Facial features: Harmonious and inherently soft-looking, despite his usual harsh demeanour. Full lips, large eyes, button nose, high cheekbones and smooth complexion.

Scars/birthmarks: Several faded scars across his whole body as a result of wounds received in battle. His chest, legs and right arm show the vestiges of an old, yet particularly gruesome dragon-fire burn, which almost took his life at the time and couldn’t be fully removed by magic healing. Sparse dusting of light freckles across his nose and cheek bones, shoulders, chest and all the way down his back. Lower back dimples.

Personal. 

Usual Mood/Expression: Stoic and disciplined, albeit also cold and disdainful at times. Perfectionist and determinate to a fault. Loyal, protective and driven by strong beliefs. Arrogant and self-assured when it comes to his skill and role as a Knight, even if he never boasts about it, regarding flaunting and vain attitudes as utterly undignified. Strict with others, but especially with himself, often to an unhealthy extent. Narrow-minded and stubborn about his ideals and belief.

Virtues:  chastity / charity / diligence / humility / kindness / patience / justice.

Secrets: He suffers from mild PTSD which intensifies over time (becoming severe due to lack of treatment) originated during the war against dragons after a particularly gruesome near-death experience. He won’t talk much about his childhood and origins, such that some even assume he’s a highborn — which is absolutely not the case. He tends to keep any sadness, anguish, fear and exhaustion to himself, continuing as if nothing happened despite physical or emotional pain. He has a beautiful singing voice that only a few have ever heard.

Quirks: Getting up at the crack of dawn, every single day, to train and meditate during the morning. Thoughtfully cleaning his armour and weapons, even if they’re not dirty at all, just because he finds it somehow relaxing. Noxious tendency to overwork himself. 

Savvies: Advanced strategy and war tactics. All there’s to know about dragons. History, politics, linguistics, economics, mathematics, fine arts, religion — a true warrior must strengthen his body and mind equally, he would always say. 

Prominent skills: Martial arts, being one of his kin’s greatest warriors and the only true disciple of the God of War. Particularly skilled with his spear; the weapon of choice to kill dragons due to its piercing attack. He always carries a dagger as a secondary weapon and has a secret sentimental attachment to that kind of blade, which his mother taught him how to use. He can also wield most weapons with superior proficiency, as well as fighting in unarmed combat. Dragonslaying, which was regarded as the pinnacle of knighthood by the gods. Masterful use of lighting. Enough healing skill to keep himself alive in battle by using miracles.

Misc.

Hobbies: Ornstein enjoys sculpting, immensely, so much so that he has a large, private — secret — studio where he spends a good amount of his free time. Aside from his working table and sculptures, there’s also an area dedicated to other pursues, including a massive desk and a few bookshelves, storing a vast assortment of books, as well as transcriptions and translations made by himself. Then, there’s also his original poetry and calligraphy works, that will often combine in a mixture of literary and visual art. Mathematics is another passion of his, often applied to the design of sculptures and other projects, albeit also as purely theoretical developments. Outside the studio, Ornstein ordered the construction of a garden (still inside the castle) where he spends another portion of his free time. He’ll usually tend to it himself, with only sporadic help from servants. Other hobbies include swimming, especially during the night, and singing, although he won’t do any of it in public.

Element: Lighting.

His brain is a little less involved in his sexual instincts which often times can make him a walking dose of testosterone. He’s intense and projects this intensity in even the most subtle of actions. He’s the bad boy and the hot head, the class clown and the boy you mom warned you about. Either the biker or the one making the bike.

Mars in Gemini: The Divinci lá mort

🎙 Grimes - Be a Body

Women: shes a walking encyclopedia. Sometimes with this women it can seem like she’s 100 steps ahead of you and then some. Her eyes are sharp and piercing-gazing through intentions and feelings quicker than anyone you’ll meet. She is enticed by the game of interaction-mainly because she’s so detached from it. Romance bores her, it’s cliche . She wants the type of love you don’t even know you need, the type of romance and feeling that carries her off her feet and leaves her speechless. Her lover should take care to be an odd one-she loves a good mystery mainly because she’s one herself.

Men: he’s dangerous. His eyes speak to you In a secret language one separate from the actions of his body. He makes you question your motives, he makes you delve into the hidden concepts within you, he strings you without the strings. With him theirs this mania-this momentum between the twins as he leave you wondering which version of him you’ll get from second to second. He starts the party but simultaneously is nowhere to be found once it’s off the ground. He can have a sharp member and can be remarkably playful in bed!

💻 Tangerine dream - Love on a real Train

Women: shes soft to the touch like lavender. She’s scented like vanilla and cool October winds. She’s an unexpected love and can entrance you with nothing but small winces and half smiles. She expresses herself through touches and loud laughs-she’s never direct and moves in a side ways pattern sometimes showing you more, whilst other days she’s a figment of your imagination. She’s captivating but hard to get to know unless she wants you to know. Her energy is soothing and can feel like home and her greatest strength is that immense propensity to emotional coolness.

Men: he’s pure, the type to hold your hand when you’re frightened, cook you a meal if you haven’t eaten, kill that pesky spider that’s been terrorizing you in the shower-he’s home. He’s a gentle boy albeit with an astronomical temper but none the less he’s a baby, he could never do anything to harm you outright but his mother sure taught him how to manipulate and that’s what makes him a bit troublesome. He’s emotionally receptive and emmensly invested but his sexuality can be something to brace yourself for..mars in cancer men tend to be very passionate lovers in and out of the bedroom and the sweet little boy he shows you turns into quite the intensely lustful soul when the lights dim!

Mars in Leo: Lion congregation

📸 Billy idol - Rebel Yell

Women: shes going to hit you like a wild fire. She isn’t the type to bow, nor is she the type to settle. She knows her worth and her lioness energy won’t allow her to lower that pride even for god himself-shes far to engulfed by the suns rays to see anyone below. She’s jovial and a breath of fresh air and can make you feel like you’ve just walked into NYC. She’s a charming one-able to seduce you with a stare and a hair flip. She’s very punk or very pretty pink school girl! Something about her feels irresistible but she’s never focused on you-she’s looking for the next sunset. Her lover should make sure they see the beauty in her and is worthy of the kingly or queenly stature she bestows upon them.

Men: he’s a queit type. Unlike his feminine ego he actually is more on the observant and prowl like energy. He’s the king of the pride and doesn’t need words to prove his dominance all he needs is energy. He can make you feel as if you’re in the presence of something great with a mere scowl or glance. His intensity is often matched by his often pugnant and sexy atmosphere. He can make it feel like a thousand eyes are on you and in the next second you can feel like you’ve been locked out of Heaven. He’s got this dirty quality to him like acting on your desire for him could take you to hell and back. His libido is usually high as shit and his lower region is either on the medium side or slightly above average but it often looks very bright and has lovely pubic hair! He can be turned on by soggy style positions or where your back is turned to him!

Mars in Virgo: Let’s play doctor

🎚 Jamie N. Commons - Lead me home

Women: shes like old wine. She will make you feel like you’re in this dance with yourself because of how distant her actions can seem. She’s very adapt and can react to a situation before it’s occurred solely on her piecing the puzzle together. She’s sensual and earthy with her light aromas and light steps. She can seem like some sort of elven fairy flying high and above in your mind and lips like some long lost memory you’ve been waiting to relieve. She wants things clean but part of her is drawn to what lies in the mud. These women can be some of the kinkiest solely because part of them lives to be of service to their lovers. They often find themselves drawn to dirty lovers(literally and figuratively) or situations of inequality in their partnerships.

Men: he’s not like other boys. He’s shy but playing koi is apart of how he lures you in. He won’t make the first move but he’ll move the pieces so you do. He is a hard worker both with his daily life and what he chooses to please in the bedroom. He can be highly versatile in many situations but part of him can project his inner need for control into his love affairs. He wants to feel every touch and every sensation possible and can get easily addicted to sex wanting to have it on a consistent basis. These boys can be very horny contrary to belief but can be so controlled that it can seem as though they don’t have desires whatsoever. They can be drawn to long term romances and will often have the best sex with someone they’ve known for years! Their is a cute quality to the way they love and it’ll be forever. Their members are petite and can get the job done! In some cases they can feel either shy about their genitals or straightforward nothing inbetween.

Mars in libra: Tipping the scales

📽 Johnny Rain - Peach

Women: shes passive, for her the real aspect of life is what you can get without lifting a finger. Indifference is sexy to them-they admire a unmoved face or a silent crowd. They can be vixens because they often meld themselves into what everyone wants but never do they loose themselves. They can put on an act but be an entirely different energy underneath it all. They love passion and can be the types to hopelessly search for that ultimate romantic liaison. They can remind you of the R&B ERA. Femininity and sexuality are peak here and these women express their sensuality deeply and truly to themselves. These women tend to masterbait quite a bit as they often have high libido and venus influence here creates an infatuation with the “self” perceived ego. The lover for these natives should be charming and have an intensity to him-a a bit of an unbalanced energy that she can serve to be the equilibrium.

Men: he’s dark. He can seem perfect like everything and anything. He’s polite but detached, he’s sensual but withholding, he’s an intellectual but he never lets you into his mind. These men can be a contradiction. Mars in libra men mask feelings more then most mars signs and tend to need a certain level of high ground in there interactions! It’s never a comfortability for them to know that you can read them as that means you’ll make them vulnerable. They like power and can be the types to pull strings and games until they’re sure that they are hidden. They love intensely and can have a very intoxicating love style that leaves everyone begging. Their members are often very beautiful to look at and can be soft-usually they’re either long or lean. They are either aggressive or passive sexually.

Mars in Scorpio: To sting or not to sting

📀 Belly ft Nav - Re up

Women: shes a late bloomer! Often times she was introduced to sexual tension at a young age and either iced it out or chose to rise above it. At some point these women come into contact with their “own” sexuality their own sense of femininity gets challenged often bringing out the true Scorpio queen residing deep within them. Like A serpent these women come into their own like the flames of hell. Taboo is their middle name and their innocent persona is often leaking with intensity. She’s often the one in the party shrouded in the darkness away from the lights,away from the scene-gazing through the dim lights. She’s powerful and impossible to subdue. She often plays the field never truly seeking intimacy unless it takes her in like the shadows! These women can be afraid of intimacy in the early years but as they age it can be something they find themselves surrounded by. The soul he manages to catch their hearts must be ready to match them sexually and emotionally in the most intense and prolific way imaginable-death and all.

Men: his eyes are easily enthralled. He looks for connections unconsciously like a dog searching for a bone. He’s got a hunger in his eyes only second to his depth. He’s constantly chasing for his own sabotage and sometimes creates it! He’s darkness personified and no matter how much he tried to hide it-the shadows seep through. He can get eaten up by his desires quite a bit almost as if he’s a slave to his own animalistic desires. He’s like a dog without a leash introduced to a fresh plate of meat. These men are ruled by their own intensity and much like Aries mars their are no games! Unlike their venus counterpart for them they don’t have time to manipulate and often struggle with doing so in a way that doesn’t allude to what they’re feeling-they want what they want and it can be impossible to get them to let go once they’ve set their stinger in. Their members can be very vainy and look rather on the darker side! Mars in Scorpio are in love with oral and tend to be extremely sensitive in these areas male and female. Sexually? They can go for hours and days depending on how badly they’ve been waiting for you.

Mars in Sagittarius: MKULTRA

⏲ASAP rocky - RAF

Women: she’s something you’d never be able to reach no matter how high or long you’d try. She’s swift like a gust of wind with her emotions fluttering in and out like radio static. For her it’s about the moment and nothing else. She wants fun otherwise it’s fiń. For her she’s never bored it’s everyone else that’s bored. Her energy is intoxicating and feels like shots of patron. Her body talks like rhythmic beats in the air and she couldn’t be bothered to slow down even if you begged her. These women want to be driven mad and hate anything that makes her think, she hates the meanginless cjit chatter if theirs no fun behind it. She wants intensity and if you plan on giving her something like a small dip in a large sea she won’t be nothing but a cloud of smoke. The lover of these natives will have to be an enigma, something she’d never understand but something that keeps her constantly guessing.

Men: he’s like a myth. You hear of him but, seeing him? It can sound like some promise or imagination come to life when you see him. He’s got a roughness to him as if he’s just in life for the shits and giggles. For him the world is grand and he’s destined to uncover the rest of it. He doesn’t want a side kick he wants an adversary. He’s sexuality can seem like its apart of the earth-he’s like a wild animal and it’s incredibly potent. He can seem masculine and as if his soul leaps out of each word. These men can be magnetic but also immensely detached. For them their is this loose and sought after emptiness and it can sometimes alter their expression of Jupiter. These men can be very dismissive once they feel trapped unfortunately but if they are mature and evolved many welcome intimacy and sometimes “too much” sexually they can be overwhelming and a bit like animals once they get going-it’s no myth they’ll Try to do it outdoors. They usually are very well endowed and can be very lean down there.

Mars in Capricorn: Cold War

🎞Tinashe - Salt

Women: shes mrs noir baby. Her eyes are cold but her heart is warm and that of a furnace. She’s independent and nothing in her upbringing has taught her to lean on anyone to create for herself what she can do on her own. She’s ambitious and a warrior-never does she let her tears eat away at her. These women devour the world, often choosing and desiring complete titanship over all things in her life. Weakness is poison for them and often sex is seen more as a luxury than a need as often they’re weary of anything that create emotional weakness that they can’t rid of. These women run hot sexually and tend to be the types to be into more BDSM themes or domination as a means to prove to themselves they’ve “conquered” their lovers usually are well established and have a rather cold demeanor but ultimately are very sensualistic and intense.

Men: he’s the darkest out of the mars signs for the males. He’s not a beat around the bush type, as often his desires are incredibly honest and he sees no reason to pretend or act precarious. His emotions are often self defensive but also slightly guarded as a means of precautious measure. His energy is often stifling and intimidating as his desires tend to be deeply felt and rather than being outwardly expressed they make their way through his actions and mannersims. They aren’t the type to eye down anyone but are very lustful by nature. To them work and power are and will always be necessity-sexual gratification is luxury but also a means to an end. These natives can be immensely detached from sex unless feelings were established before the act took place otherwise you’ll be nothing more than an asset to them. They can be cold and cruel but they do have a very soft and vulnerable side albeit the goat can be rather changeable when and if they decide to show this side. Their members are usually well endowed! Saturns influence might make it skinnier or medium sized but these guys are usually well endowed. Sexually they can be very intense and their entire mood changes and so does their personality so keep in mind.

Aquarius mars: The 80s camero

📽 cautious clay - Cold War (nick AM remix)

Women: shes bored by it all, to her people are stuck on that music station she’d rather skip past. For her interactions are more then physical contact. She wants cerebral and celestial-she wants to feel mars in her hands and Dance with Neptune and andromeda. Connections come and go for this women and she often finds herself sitting alone, but that’s how she likes it. For these women it can be a spark like desire that can fade just as quickly as it came! Their desires are consistent here and there but only when their is a feeling of never really having what it is they’re feeling. Sexually things can run on and off just like her nature-she just goes with the energy flow and sees where it takes her. These women can be sought after drawing others to her like moths to a flame but she doesn’t ever really care for the attention-she’d much rather watch their wings singe as they fly towards the light. Her lover should be perplexing, a tad off their rocker but with enough emotional difference to keep them scratching their heads.

Men: he’s the unbothered, he’s the glossy eyed boy wonder who seems like he’s just passing by. His affections can seem hard to pin? Wether or not theirs meaning or if he’s just looking for a way to use his time. These men are emotional rollercoaster dispute their more calm demeanor. They want to be above feelings and often will project their own internal feelings on others and play run around the roise so they don’t have to take responsibility for their own feelings. They are insanely attractive and have this deceptive charm to them-like every word is laced with a sinister intent. These men are erotic mainly because they have such a detached relatiohship with their own sexuality. These men don’t care and tend to be sexually aroused by someone with a more “careless” persona. These men are often very hot sexually and tend to love sessions but it can be a bit hard to get them emotionally in to it! They love the emotional v. Non emotional energy that’s generated in their sexual encounters though and from what I’ve seen the more someone wants them the hotter it is for them sexually because of the indifference. They tend to have pointy and angular members that look unique in a way because of Uranus.

Mars in Pisces: Atlantian divers

📟 The Weeknd feat. Gesaffelstein - I was never there

Women: shes sweet as can be! Her heart is that of boundless oceans and she can be immensely dedicated to sacrifice even in her daily life part of her feels more whole if she’s able to be surrounded by harmonius flows of energy. She’s full of tangles though and can seem like a museum of emotions. She’s complex and nothing expressed is never just that, it’s meanings could span over a millennia. She’s often a softly felt presence that can disepear from seemingly nowhere. Her feelings are often deeply entangled in her sexual longings and often the bigger the emotional backing the stronger her arousal but the weaker the bond the harder it is for her to be anything more then a fish in the sea. She enjoys glowing through life in blissful dreamlike peace but often she’s interrupted by the loud existence of the rest of us. Her lover should be a gentle soul, one that cares for her heart but also feels safe enough to express their own unique vulnerabilities.

Men: he’s a dreamboat, the boy seemingly lost in the crowd of people. He’s been in an ongoing daydream since he was 2 years old. His eyes are watery and seem like their are tears waiting to speak there own individual peace. He hates the confinement of others and tends to be a loner. He’s sensitive to energy and can seemingly become evasive when negativity embodies him which is why people think he’s lethargic or lazy. He often is sexual in private-leaning towards porn and media to relate to sexual feelings internally felt. He often can create a dreamlike sexual desire but might be more displeased by the real thing. His libido is often the lowest of the bunch mainly because his more masculine side is subdued by the neptunian sea. He like his feminine counterpart needs a emotional connection otherwise sex is nothing more then a fish in the water. He’s moldable to the desire of his lover. His member tends to be translucent and on the larger side of things.

MUN QUESTIONS.

Q1: if you could write your character your way in their own movie, what would it be called, what style would it be filmed in, and what would it be about?: It would probably just be called something simple and plain like “Elizabeth”, “Doll”, or “Low Heeled Shoes”, and it would be filmed in a sort of artsy way like the shortfilm Empty Sky. It would follow her struggles as she grew up with femininity, religion, and having to learn the general concept of self love without basing it on others’ approval of her.

Q2: what would their soundtrack / score sound like?: Lots of soft, dainty indie songs following the sounds of Daughter, One Two, Cigarettes After Sex, etc

Q3: why did you start writing this character?: She really appealed to me back in middle school when I got into the show. She was sweet, feminine, and unafraid to speak her mind, which I liked. As I started getting into the manga more recently after a long hiatus, I fell in love with her all over again and all of her nuances that I didn’t notice when I was younger (and before the campania arc, mind you)

Q4: what first attracted you to this character?: She was everything I wanted to be, I found her positively adorable and there weren’t many characters like that. She brought a well needed ray of sunshine to the show.

Q5: describe the biggest thing you dislike about your muse: She’s a BRAT

Q6: what do you have in common with your muse?: We both have super overbearing parents who care too much and too little at the same time lmao. also i fence while still being very feminine minded and enjoying hair/makeup/fashion and i like seeing a character do that

Q7: how does your muse feel about you?: Hopefully we’d get along

Q8: what characters does your muse have interesting interactions with?: Sebastians like j e s u s i love the drama. Also rciels have a quite interesting dynamic with her, though i really do appreciate every interaction, it’s much more about the muns that make it special than the characters

Q9: what gives you inspiration to write your muse?:  Sad music, painting, sewing, drinking a bitchin cup of tea, dancing, you name it. also my bf

Q10: how long did this take you to complete?: Like an hour and fifteen minutes, but i took a big sleep in the middle and had to look up a lot of quizzes

[morning]

Name / Age / Pronouns / Timezone: Hi! I’m Sarah, I’m 21, my timezone is PST, and my pronouns are she/her. I’m about to drop all semblance of professionalism, get ready!!

Zodiac Sign: Pisces, living that crybaby mermaid life!!

Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff!!! Honestly, I thought I was a Ravenclaw for a while, but everyone says I’m a Hufflepuff, including Pottermore, and they’re right tbh?? I’m such a Hufflepuff.

Describe yourself using a meme: It’s outdated but probably the “This is fine” dog?? But tbh this video basically sums me up too.

Describe your character(s) with a short aesthetic: 

Lily: A fire-haired girl who dons robes of scarlet and gold, as striking as a beacon of light. A treasured family portrait with too many faces to count. A legacy that weighs as heavy as Atlas’s celestial spheres. Laughter as bellowing as a lion’s roar after a quick-witted retort. Always following your heart over your head. The indescribable solace found from wrapping your arms tightly around your big sibling, not ever wanting to let go. A meadow of wildflowers wilting away. The fury deep within your core that burns like dragon fire, threatening to consume you. Clenched fists so tight that your red, red nails bite crescent moons on your palms. The glorious burn of your muscles during a seething fight. Feeding into your rage because if you falter for just a moment, you’ll remember just how hollow you are.

Heath: Petrichor. A moral compass that has never faltered once. Flowers woven into long, thick hair. The sweet smell of maple trees. A peculiar feeling of peace when venturing into the Forbidden Forest. Never feeling out of place in your adopted family, always knowing how much they love you. Herbal drugs to stave the anxiety away. Warm grin, warm laughter, warm heart. Tie-dye shirts. Unwavering pacifism and vegetarianism that stems from your Buddhist faith. Well-worn hiking boots. Wearing your Hufflepuff colors with pride. A desire to never leave Hogwarts.

Are there any canons, face claims, or surnames that you’d love to see here at Holocene?: Please bring us the last canons we need applications for -- Albus, Louis, Lorcan, and Lysander!! Can’t believe we don’t have an Albus app yet tbh?? Where are Lily’s siblings at? But Louis and the Scamander twins are so underplayed and we definitely need them here too!! I already listed out my MW face claims, but I’d sell my soul to see John Boyega or Yaya Urassaya here. Bring us Changs and Shacklebolts -- imagine how fun would it be to have the Headmistress’s kids and the Minister’s kids around?? A Dursley child would be incredible, and I’d really love Longbottom siblings for Heath! Some other surnames I definitely want to see are Nott, Diggory, Creevey, Greyback, Delacour, Carrow, Lestrange, Rosier, Mulciber, Fortescue, Bones, Jordan, Goldstein, McGonagall, Shafiq, Abbott, Macmillan, and Trelawney. Oh and I don’t believe we have any Muggleborn apps so please fix that!!

What are you looking for in a Next Gen RP?: Honestly, I have a lot of difficulty finding Next Gen groups that interest me in the tags, so here we are! I just really miss the kind of roleplays where everyone collaborates on the events, plot drops, and world building and everyone plots intricate connections with each other?? I really hope we can form a welcoming and enthusiastic RP environment where everyone feels like their character has a place. A tightknit family?? asjakjdskjsdkdsjk I’m so cheesy, but it’s what I’m looking for!!

Disney Song Aesthetics for the Courier

MULAN

You’ll bring honor to us all / Help me not to make a fool of me / Can it be I’m not meant to play this part / If I were truly to be myself, I would break my family’s heart / Why is my reflection someone I don’t know? / Somehow, I cannot hide who I am… though I’ve tried / When will my reflection show who I am inside? Tranquil as a forest but on fire within / You must be swift as a coursing river / With all the strength of a raging fire / Mysterious as the dark side of the moon / Heed my every order and you might survive / You’re unsuited for the rage of war / A girl worth fighting for / How ‘bout a girl who’s got a brain, who always speaks her mind? /

HERCULES

I have often dreamed of a far-off place / A hero’s welcome would be waiting for me / I will find my way if I can be strong / Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you / It might take a lifetime, but somehow I’ll see it through / Zero to hero, just like that / If there’s a prize for rotten judgement, I guess I’ve already won that / I thought my heart had learned its lesson / Get a grip, girl… unless you’re dying to cry your heart out /

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

There must be more than this provincial life / He’s not whole without a soul to wait upon / There’s something sweet, and almost kind / But then she’s never looked at me that way before / There may be something there that wasn’t there before / Barely even friends, then somebody bends unexpectedly / Bittersweet and strange, finding you can change/ I was the one who had it all. I was the master of my fate / I let him steal into my melancholy heart / It’s a nightmare, but it’s one exciting ride / Hearts ablaze, banners high, we go marching into battle /

LION KING

There’s more to see than can ever be seen / Everywhere you look I’m standing in the spotlight / Oh, I just can’t wait to be king / you’ll be rewarded when, at last, I am given my dues / Be prepared for the murkiest scam / It means no worries for the rest of your days / With all this romantic atmosphere, disaster’s in the air / The world, for once, in perfect harmony / Make her see the truth about my past? Impossible /

HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME

And he saw corruption everywhere except within / But, you never can run from nor hide what you’ve done / Who is the monster and who is the man? / The world is cruel. The world is wicked / Show them the mercy they don’t find on Earth / I ask for nothing, I can get by. But, I know so many less lucky than I / This burning desire is turning me to sin / Be mine or you will burn  /

TANGLED

Standing here, it’s, oh, so clear: I’m where I’m meant to be / All at once, everything looks different now that I see you / Mother knows best / On your own, you won’t survive / When will my life begin? / And violence-wise, my hands are not the cleanest / You can count me with the dreamers / This is why you never should have left /

THE LITTLE MERMAID

They weren’t kidding when they called me, well, a witch / Yes I’ve had the odd complaint, but on the whole I’ve been a saint / And don’t underestimate the importance of body language / Wish I could be part of that world / She don’t got a lot to say, but there’s something about her /

ALADDIN

He’s become a one-man rise in crime / You ain’t never had a friend like me! / When did you last let your heart decide? / Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling through an endless diamond sky / I can’t go back to where I used to be /

MOANA

I wish I could be the perfect daughter / If I go there’s just no telling how far I’ll go / I can lead with pride, I can make us strong / All the time wondering where I need to be is behind me / I’m on my own, to worlds unknown / Well, it’s nice to see that humans never change / So, what can I say except ‘You’re welcome’? / I will sparkle like a wealthy woman’s neck / Send your armies, but they’ll never be enough / You try to be tough, but your armor’s just not hard enough / Sometimes the world seems against you / The journey may leave a scar / The people you love will change you / And nothing on earth can silence the quiet voice still inside you / I will carry you here in my heart / Come what may, I know the way / I have crossed the horizon to find you / They have stolen the heart from inside you /

FROZEN

I’ve been searching my whole life to find my own place / A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I’m the queen / The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside / Couldn’t keep it in… Heaven knows I tried / Don’t let them in. Don’t let them see / Be the good girl you always have to be / Conceal, don’t feel / The cold never bothered me anyway / The fears that once controlled me, can’t get to me at all / No right, no wrong, no rules for me / You’ll never see me cry / I’m never going back, the past is in the past
