“I’m out of wine and flowers, so I hope an introduction will suffice,” his blood-red eyes meet hers, and something in her gut twists. As if she already knows. As if she’s just realized that she’s missed the obvious. “My name is Astarion. I was in Balder’s Gate when-” Astarion. Save Astarion. Astarion.  All the breath leaves her lungs as she interrupts, “You’re Astarion?”

summary: how far would you go to save the one you love? what about a stranger?

pairings: astarion ancunin x sorcerer!oc (aruna)

warnings: canon angst, canon trauma, canon violence, memory loss, sort of enemies to lovers?, sort of soulmates au?, overuse of pet names, eventual smut. 18+

I'm convinced Bobby Nash has to die. Now hear me out!! Cause I don't think he has to stay dead. In fact, it fits better if he doesn't. Here's the thing: Bobby believes he should have died in the fire that killed his family and all those people. It really seems there is absolutely no way for him to feel any closure on that, except, maybe, dying in/as a result of/in the vicinity of a fire after saving his family, aka Athena. A fire that burned down his now-family's home.

In Bobby Begins Again, Bobby is told You want to be punished? Your punishment is that you lived. Now make it worth a damn. And all this 'putting his affairs in order' stuff is kind of him double-checking that he really did make it worth a damn. For other people. Not for himself. He still doesn't believe he deserves any sort of happy ending. So, him dying and then living, just like Buck, would be another perfect little joke from his God, a sort of, You want to die for your sins? Fine. Now you have. Now live and be free of them.

Dying for your sins sound familiar? A little Jesus-y? Yeah, it fits right into all the religious symbolism we got in Step 9, aka the very Bobby-centric episode we just had! @exhuastedpigeon made a really good post about it.

In the previous episode, we saw that Bobby had his addiction practically passed down to him by his father, like an original sin. He wandered the desert, he carried his cross. In this episode, he had his last meal and though he didn't quite literally pray with his family, he did give Eddie a book of catholic prayers...

So if we're following that theme, if Bobby is to get the closure he has been wishing for ever since that fire happened, he might just have to die. But we all know Jesus didn't exactly stay dead either.

Hello everyone. I'm going through it. As like one of 5 people who has fully read Quantum Devil Saga and enjoys overanalyzing media, I was having fun noticing the parallels and nods to it in Metaphor Refantazio. With the assumption that I was the unhinged one drawing conclusions and shouldn't assign intentionality to the writing and design choices. Surely the King crashing his own funeral Angel style to announce a tournament for Nirvana Utopia was just a quirk of writing in these kinds of games. Surely the first two henchmen only superficially resemble Heat and Argilla. Surely turning into big monsters and the gender fuckery is a series staple. They named the magical cat after another mathematician! That's cute

But then you find out they named the King after Yuu Godai, the author of QDS

ゆう五代 is how Yuu Godai is written in Japanese, the "Godai" part meaning "the fifth".

(This is not a translation error or change, in Hythlodaeus V is the correct English spelling, it's just Japanese doesn't always differentiate H/J/Y sounds in western names.)

I'll probably make a longer post about this later, because I can't explain without massive spoilers for both and I'm not even done with the game. The meta in this game is driving me up the wall and I'm pretty damn sure I'm the only person who sees this. Because I might be the only person in the universe who thinks too much about the meta behind QDS щ(ಥ_ಥщ). There's stuff that you wouldn't even know are references to Godai because she only mentions these in the author's notes and in the self published QDS Extra Files zine. Like how Soul Hackers was her favourite game, she has a cat that keeps her company when she writes, she's obsessed with making non-binary characters, really likes Godzilla and her hobby is reading weird philosophy books. They never got over not being able to have her on the team for Digital Devil Saga...

Ok I know I'm heavily biased here but like I kinda love that Astarion's romance is one of the few in this type of video game where you basically end up canonically unmarried and childfree in his "good" ending? Just travelling the world??

Like it's honestly the millennial dream lmfaoo cannot believe i chose what would undoubtedly be my favorite option, first try

The last song that was written, the last lyrics that were written was (for) the song “Hooked.” It starts off with the line, “I’ve got the fear / I’ve got the human fear.” And I realize that so many of the songs had an underlying theme of fear to them. But not necessarily succumbing to fear, but more like overcoming fear. “The Doctor” is about the fear of leaving an institution, and “Bar Lonely” is the fear of leaving a relationship. “Night or Day” is the fear of committing to a relationship. But fear is fascinating because fear is universal. We all experience fear. We all experience the same fears. But how we respond to it is individual. And that’s how we find who we are, our personalities. And overcoming fear feels good. That’s why we watch horror films or ride rollercoasters — because you overcome fear and then feel very alive for having done so.
