thalia’s obsession with power is STAGGERING in particular. it is such a huge part of her character but it’s hidden so well. she definitely removes herself from it and goes so far as to bend to the status quo to stop it. i think this is one of the only explanations for her attitude towards jason’s death. she has to treat it as if it was his choice, cause i think if she let herself feel any differently, that issue of power would come right back up and swallow her whole

yes yes yes!!! Like, I would kill for a peak inside Thalia's brain because despite how much she hides it, even from Percy's pov her hunger for power was so present?? And its as if she just kept suppressing it and suppressing it but never actually confronts it because when she was presented with this super extreme dire course of action that could help her avoid the issue (joining the hunters) she took it and didn't look back.

And on my post someone in the tags ( @hella-hound ) brought up this great point that Percy and Thalia were constantly locked in a power struggle before she joined the hunters, and that it largely stopped after she joined... and a part of me is screaming, clawing at the walls, because yes, you could attribute their conflict resolution solely to them becoming friends over the course of ttc... but the idea that it's also, in part, due to the fact that some part of Percy recognizes that she's essentially stunted her growth and now poses less of a threat to his power? oh my god. oh my god.

With the Thunder Saga’s release, we now have an album for each of the Big Three that match their dominions/power alignments: Poseidon’s Ocean Saga, Hades’ Underworld Saga, and Zeus’ Thunder Saga. But only Poseidon and Zeus have appeared (at least so far). And as someone who favors Hades amongst the three, this struck me as interesting. When Odysseus and his crew have faced Poseidon and Zeus, there is no doubt that they are in danger and inevitably suffer many casualties (Ruthlessness and Thunder Bringer). Hades is the only one of the three to grant some level of safety. Odysseus goes into the Underworld to avoid Poseidon and once they leave, they eventually deal with Zeus. I don’t doubt that Hades knows they’re there. It’s his domain after all. He knows all that goes on in it. Sure, the Underworld does present some danger but it’s worth noting that the crew suffers no casualities in the Underworld. They get to see those they’ve lost as they travel through it, which is emotionally devastating but also kind of a gift in a way? Especially for Odysseus with his mom. It’s a “seeing them one last time until they join them” situation. But the Underworld doesn’t seem to directly intend to harm them, not like the ocean or the weather. I find this neat considering that Hades tends to have a poor (undeserved in my opinion) reputation in modern media, often being depicted as the villain between his brothers, which is wild considering the things his brothers get up to. And yet here, not only is he absent unlike the other two but he is also being presented as the safest. Maybe I’m reading a touch too much into it but I feel like there’s something to be said about this. 🤔

This has really been a ‘treat yourself to FF9 merch’ kind of year!!

I didn’t own most of these things before this year. My collection began with the original PAL game and the strategy guide as a child. I even kept all the old ‘cheat’ sheets I’d written!

My first personal FFIX purchase was the Play Arts Garnet figure. I found it at my local Gametraders for $40, and I just couldn’t have her without Zidane, so I found him on eBay for a reasonable price in 2015. I also went to Japan in 2015, but the only FF9 merch I could find was my Zidane keyring from the Square Enix Artnia Cafe.

All the other purchases are from this year - I went a little crazy! I started with the Ultimania Archive which I’d had my eye on for a long time, as well as the music box - both purchased from Critical Hit. I absolutely love the music box!

My next purchase is unofficial merchandise - an art book from 'Debo' on Pixiv. I just adore their illustrations and I wish I had the whole set!

The hardest item to get was the Zidane and Garnet Bring Arts figures - I had to order it off the European Square Enix store and then use a third party shipping service to get it to me, but overall it was still a comparable price when looking at eBay prices. I love them! My inner child would have loved the whole set and played with them to death!

Next was perhaps the most special purchase - the Banpresto Diorama Zidane and Garnet figure! I got the last one from a seller who said it wouldn't come in the box, which was fine by me - imagine my surprise when it came in a brand new sealed box! I'm so lucky!

Finally, I pre-ordered my beloved Vivi doll from EB Games!

I absolutely adore my FF9 collection! I don't buy things for myself often, but I've been working hard in my career for many years and investing in important things in my life - so these treats are well deserved and will be treasured forever. I can't wait to perhaps add a Final Fantasy IX remake to this collection one day?

yesterday I finally played DND with my friends after so many months of not playing and today there’s BOTFA and The Fellowship of the Ring on tv and I’m rewatching with my dad and this is literally the best weekend I’ve had in a very long time

We are so blessed with this episode oh my god

The diversity of the content being provided on QSMP is such a phenomenal quality of the server. Like right now I can just go on and watch any of the creator depending on the vibe that I want. On one side there's major lore happening, somewhere there's just chill parent-child bonding happening, somewhere there just mining happening and somewhere it's a pining romance telenovela and no to mention all of this is happening simultaneously. Everyone just exists together and also individually on the server and there's just so so much love and togetherness not just on the server but also surrounding the server.
