So, one of the most interesting things that's come from my recent exercises in writing the Olympians as young deities is all of the very fun and somewhat painful conversations that come from the young deities acquiring and consequently settling into their domains.

Apollo and Artemis especially have been really fascinating under the microscope. They start off identically, with extremely similar interests and similar domains over the hunt and wilderness. They spend their days under the stars and foraging for fruit and dancing and singing in the fields, two rustic god-children exploring and learning together. Then Apollo goes off on his own to slay Python.

Now, a lot of things change when Apollo kills Python. That is the act which transforms the bow from a tool of survival and sport to an instrument of murder, bloodshed and ultimately war. It is Apollo's first act of wrath which separates him from Artemis - both spiritually because she has not yet shed blood herself as a goddess and physically because it leads to his exile. Most importantly however, the slaying of Python is the act that grants Apollo his knowledge.

If violence is what first separates Apollo from Artemis then it is knowledge which keeps them apart.

This can refer to a lot of things; that Artemis continued to be at home with the wild beasts of the forests and mountains while Apollo grew to prefer the domesticated sheep and cattle, that Artemis continued to avoid mortals while Apollo grew to know their ways and endeavoured to teach them more. The point that has been the most interesting to me however has been Artemis, who remains free of slaughter, and thus remains pure and Apollo, who becomes acutely and entirely too aware of it, and thus must be constantly purified.

Apollo's infatuation with medicine specifically is the place where this becomes most apparent. When he leaves for his exile to travel as a mortal, without nectar or ambrosia, without power, Apollo is without the privileges of the divine for the very first time. He sweats, he smells, he grows weary when he travels, he grows hungry and thirsty. He experiences fatigue and nausea, the fever of sickness, the chill of infection, the delirium of poison. The blood Apollo shed does not only make him impure spiritually, it strips him of the purity of his birth and station. Likewise, medicine is not a divine practice. What use do the unkillable immortals have for something as finicky as medicine when they have nectar and ambrosia? Apollo however, knows of the pains of the flesh and the suffering of the mortal coil. He pursues medicine in all its horrors and difficulties because of the knowledge he gained with blood.

Artemis then, cannot understand the medical Apollo. When her brother returns possessed by this spectre of ill-gained knowledge, she does not recognise him. Who is this boy who scores the deer and studies the shape of their intestines before he cooks them? What good is there in rescuing a chick with a broken wing? The Apollo-of-the-Wild in her memories would have done the correct thing and left the thing for dead - let the forest take what is its due. Who is this Apollo whose hands are always stained to the wrist in the blood and gore of the living? What is his fascination with the mechanics of mortal bodies? Artemis does not know and Apollo does not tell her.

That has, by far, been my favourite effect of the whole Python watershed moment to explore recently.

People have a lot of complaints about Security Breach, whether it be "It's not scary enough," or "it's too buggy."

NO.

THE REAL PROBLEM THAT NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IS THE FACT THAT STEELWOOL HAS THE BALLS TO MAKE THE GAME (+R.U.I.N) ALMOST 100 GBs!

I refuse to shut up about this guy (jump to 6:33 for the actual song btw!!)

I’m not saying that I’m always going to find a new 10/10 kdrama to get obsessed with every five to seven months, but the fact that My Sweet Mobster is giving me some similar feelings to what Twinkling Watermelon did (dying to watch it, love seeing it on my dash, annoyed that I’ve been blocked from continuing it), seven months after TW did, kind of feels like a sign that this is supposed to be The Next One

[masked-alien-lesbian]

Honestly this book could have a "Clean every single toilet in the palace" diamond option and as long as they slap Hana's beautiful smiling face on there, I'd be eagerly throwing my diamonds at pb.

to everyone panicking over toya4 soon, wondering if we're gonna be duped (again):

hi! i love toya, he's just my little guy in pjsk. personal take on all of this: vbs' world link HEAVILY IMPLIES toya's event is next. in his chapter stories (not card), he talks with kaito about "that thing he's [kaito] helped him with" which if i remember correctly, was also explicitly stated to be his task (from ken). there might also be some substantial material in his card stories, but i haven't checked those. of course, correct me if i'm wrong, but i sincerely doubt the writers would leave us hanging like this

just my personal opinion from observations i've made :)

[silent-partner-412]

I’m only at chapter 20 so this could easily change if the end game sucks. But for now? I honest to god think Engage is one of the best Fire Emblem games, ever. I’d say the only games that really challenge it are Radiant Dawn and Path of Radiance, for me at least.

It’s flaws, in my opinion, are pretty negligible considering it’s easily the best gameplay the series has ever had. The main thing holding it back is it’s story, and even then it’s not a case of “this is a horrible awful story with no redeeming qualities” (surprised by how many people are saying this tbh) and more of “this is a safe, campy story that’s fun and has a lot of likable characters but doesn’t push the envelope basically at all”.

I play FE for the gameplay first and foremost though, and when it came to making a genuinely fun video game they knocked it out of the damn park with this one. They seriously set a high standard for future games with this one, and I honestly couldn’t be happier.

[lightningbig]

goddd botw makes me a little bit insane. link going through the story and meeting all of these people who use to know him. he doesn't remember. but they talk about him, "you used to train me!" "we were kids together" "I always looked up to you". they have lived a whole life while he's been asleep. he has not changed.
