#I am SAD

[malignedaffairs]

I'm so gratuitously emotional over a piece of media again but I can't get over how much my brother was right when he gifted me Elden Ring and told me he's certain it will be right up my alley once I get used to the playstyle. Which - to make it more hilarious, even he didn't ever get used to because he didn't have the patience.

Now I'm wrapping up after finishing my second long playthrough, including the dlc this time, and I wish I could go back to not knowing this game and playing it for the very first time. The kind of dread I felt while first crawling through the bushes to hide from the Godrick soldiers, when I realized where the gurgling noises at night came from, the way Limgrave looked quite serene but everything was a little off like... I think the verticality of everything added to it, and the immensity of the gate at the Gatefront Ruins. The confusing surroundings, hardly meeting anyone who wasn't hostile and never getting an explanation to the pressing question of what the hell is this all about? The weirdness. Why does the mule of this merchant have such slightly unnatural proportions? Did this completely normal looking sheep just do somersaults on the periphery of my screen? It all felt so menacing, and I seriously put down the game for a few months after getting beaten into the ground three times or so by, wait for it - the Beast Man of Farum Azula.

Sure I heard these types of games "don't hold your hand" but my idea of what that meant was the combat being hard and tedious to learn. But in truth, it was about the whole way the game communicates with the player - making them work for knowledge, leaving them wondering, giving them a learning curve, creating an extremely dense atmosphere with visuals, vistas, voice acting, sound effects, music. In fact, I picked it up again just because after a few months the menu theme became stuck in my head for whatever reason and didn't leave me alone again. Thank God.

Now back to crying over the sadness of the Roundtable Hold post ending 😔 Hewg...

Tl;dr: I want to go back to the Elden Ring experience I had when the Godrick knight at the Gatefront Ruins was unbeatable, also how can I ever enjoy another game again?

I hide the darkest parts of myself but honestly I just wish I could show them to someone without fearing judegment / misunderstanding / scaring them / guilt and shame / consequences

Touching Levi for the first time, taking it slow, just the barest graze of your fingers against his cheek but his eyes are squeezed shut and his breathing heavy and he has pure agony etched into his face because holy shit, he might just break.

Because you were so soft. So gentle with him, so good, so slow, so kind.

And the way you were looking at him, with so much love, it's too much for him, he thought. He doesn't deserve that. He doesn't deserve you.

And no one in his life has ever touched him like that.

For the first time, he realized, physical contact doesn't always have to be followed by pain. It's not always a punch in the face or fingers around his throat. Sometimes, it can be this.

And he's praying, praying to what or for what, he isn't sure, but he's begging, he's fucking begging, dear goddamn world, don't take this away from him, let him have this.

And 'Humanity's strongest' was a joke, he thought. Because right now he feels as though he's made of glass, cracking under your bare fingers.

Touching Levi for the first time and he never lets you go after that

Wow.. this moment broke me

The moment in which we were able to see into Aqua's visual thoughts shows what post-traumatic stress disorder could cause him to stay away from a woman he loves so that she can be spared from his misfortune.... Aka your written love story for Aqua and Kana is so painful and yet so damn beautiful

Gosh dude, I know this is late and I'm sorry to be a broken record, but my brother is going to kill himself with drinking. He is so bad to the extent that he can't even form a sentence when I try to talk to him. I am literally lost and very sad. I don't know what to do.

THE WHEEL OF TIME | 2x08

[ovaryacted]

So I just noticed something about a particular scene in S2 Ep. 1 of HOTD that makes everything sadder in regards to Rhaenyra.

In the scene where Rhaenyra finds the dragon wing of Arrax and Lucerys’ cloak, Syrax (Rhaenyra’s dragon) roars out in agony and matches her sadness and pain. But what I didn’t realize is that Arrax (Lucerys’ dragon) is Syrax’s baby and also male, meaning that both Rhaenyra and her dragon Syrax lost their sons at the same time and they’re both sharing that same experience of mourning the very things they created. Literally two mothers mourning their children simultaneously and considering that riders are linked to their dragons, they both feel those emotions on the same levels.

I’m sad now. Nobody fucking talk to me.
