Was thinking about this line because Harrow what the actual fuck are you talking about, and I realised something.

Not only does Harrow really for real not know that Gideon loves her—in the bullshit context of their lives, this is a reasonable misunderstanding for her to have.

What has Harrow known Gideon's life goals to be since they were children? Hint: There are at least two Harrow is fully aware of.

The first is to be wanted. As much as Gideon hates and wants to escape the Ninth, she also paradoxically craves their acceptance. They're the only community she's ever known. Harrow plays on that desire from the very beginning, mostly by kind of .... well, okay, by negging her about it. Ironically appealing to her sense of loyalty and duty to her house when they both know Gideon never even had that bridge to burn. That kind of thing.

Whether or not she's right, Harrow sincerely believes that acceptance to still be important to Gideon. First flower of my house, the greatest cavalier we have ever produced. You are our triumph. The best of all of us. When Harrow has only seconds left to make amends, she not only banks hard into praising Gideon, she frames it to unambiguously offer Gideon the acceptance she's always been conspicuously denied. Assuring her of her value not just as a person or as a cavalier, but as one of their house, one of their people.

The second thing Harrow knows is that Gideon wants to join the Cohort. Easy, everybody knows that. She's only been telling everyone with ears (and then some) since she was eight years old. It's the bait Harrow dangled to entice her into this mess. She wants to be a hero, to do great deeds like in the comic books. She wants to be a soldier.

Against the backdrop of all that context, Gideon's dying declaration "for the Ninth" starts to sound a hell of a lot more like "for Queen and country." Especially when you remember that Harrow is still the sovereign ruler of the Ninth. From Harrow's vantage point, Gideon could easily be playing the heroic underdog in a war movie. The soldier no one believed in until she threw herself on a grenade to save her squad. The knight errant who proved her chivalry by giving her life in service to her king.

From that perspective, Harrow's line to Ortus makes sense. She's following through on her promise of acceptance, defending Gideon's loyalty to the first Ninth face she sees. She's playing out Gideon's war hero fantasy, where Gideon's act of heroism proved them all wrong about her. In which case Ortus's response, "You are the most worthy heroes the Ninth House could muster. I truly believe that," flows very naturally as a reply. He understands what Harrow is trying to say, and affirms it.

It's not a hero's burial in the Anastasian, but it's the closest thing Harrow has the power to give her. And it's a fucking reasonable interpretation of Gideon's actions that doesn't touch on her feelings for Harrow at all. Fuck me.

I don't think I've ever been as hype for a game as I was when the first pokemon mystery dungeon dropped. The excitement at playing a pokemon for some reason thrilled me to my core. I remember looking at the promotional materials for it (and I can vaguely recall the trailers) and just how hype the concept was. Also PMD Red Rescue team was the first pokemon game that fit my real name (my real name was too long to fit in any pokemon game prior so I always had to shorten it) I spent many late nights as a kid playing Red Rescue Team, and I remember how grateful I was that they released Red Rescue team for Gameboy advance as at the time I hadn't gotten a DS. (though once I got my DS lite, I was immediately excited to play Red Rescue Team with the DS lite's backlight) Red Rescue team will always have a special place in my heart. But Explorers of Time/Sky just hit different. That story was just *chef's kiss*. I loved everything about it. Dialga is one of my favorite legendary pokemon (one of the first ones I caught successfully in a game, I think I might've only succeeded on catching a few of the legendary birds prior (I basically played gen 1, some of gen 2 I may have gotten stuck behind the sudowoodo when I played gen 2 and then skipped ahead to gen 4) I think also it just had mons I really liked. I adored playing as piplup in time, and then I got vulpix in sky (with riolu as my partner). The update to the portrait images. The updates they made in sky (those episode were so much fun, the new partners, the cafe, shaymin) were amazing. ALSO THE POST GAME IN EXPLORERS. While the ones that came after it didn't quite hit the same highs as Red Rescue Team or Explorers of Time/Sky. I still really enjoyed playing through Gates to Infinity. Super Mystery Dungeon was also fun, but since you could recruit every pokemon once you beat the game I know I got very bored with it unfortunately. I do like that they made all the mons recruitable and definitely early on you're like 'ooo cool I can recruit these mons' but one of the things I did like in gates to infinity was the ability to go on adventures with your teammates without partner and hero. In my head it was fun to just have Volt the Joltik and Muse the litwick go adventuring together on smaller missions and be their own little duo just taking care of the smaller tasks while the hero and partner were off gallivanting. IT was like having the ability to play some little side characters, and they're pokemon you recruited so they're just more the merrier. Which I think was something sadly lost in super mystery dungeon with the sheer abundance of members you can wind up with. I do like that it was a push to allow you to get every mon but also, woof that was a lot of pokemon. Plus if you just got the evolved forms, it kind of defeated the purpose of training up the pre evolutions because it was like 'well why bother evolving them, their evolved forms are already in my team' But the additions of wands and other stuff were fun little features, that I am glad to see carried into DX. Speaking of DX WHERE IS THE EXPLORERS OF TIME/SKY REMAKE. Gosh give me that game with a fresh coat of paint. I do love the pixel style of the time with that, but I would still like to see it get the DX treatment and jsut see how it plays with all the series improvements. I just want more Pokemon Mystery Dungeon T.T

I would be interested to know that your favorite part is PMD (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon), mine would probably be Sky and PSMD both are equally good in my opinion and I find it difficult to choose.(but basically I like all games of PMD)

I hope everyone enjoys the survey.

My piece for the @trafficzine 5th edition! It was such an honor to have my piece alongside so many other amazing artists in this fandom, and it's especially special since Secret Life was the first life series I watched!

I'm so proud of this piece, the mounders have my whole heart... See if you can name all the little mounders moments I put in the panels :]

Alternate versions and sketches below the cut!

Top two are sketches from when I was laying out how I wanted the final thing to look like, bottom left was the first draft of the piece until I decided I wanted more little references to other Mounder's moments across the piece, I still love it; and bottom right is the lined version of it when I was still struggling with color and figuring out how the sparkly parts were meant to look.

RIP Annabeth, I just know Percy sacrificing himself for you, after knowing you for a week, after telling you that you’ve done more for him this week than his father ever has, is permanently altering the brain chemistry of your avoidant attachment self

hey, remember being 18 years old and playing mass effect for the first time and it's got this like intense aura of being very small and very insignificant in a very big, very empty galaxy? remember playing mass effect for the first time and everything all of this is so new and mysterious, and it's 2am and you're sitting in a dark room in the light from your tv and you're playing through feros for the first time and you feel that this is someting very old and very ancient and you are somewhere you shouldn't be and you don't know what's going to happen or where you're going but you keep on. there's a tingling in your stomach and you're playing mass effect for the first time. the thorian is a milennia old sentient plant being. the rachni queen is old and telepathic and a hive mind and in pain. sovereign is an ancient machine that has not been built but is, and has always been, and this is something so alien and so unlike and beyond anything your human mind can comprehend, and this is something unexplainable and huge and as uncaring and indifferent as the empty galaxy around you. you're playing mass effect for the first time and you're walking on the surface of an almost completely empty planet with nothing but your two companions silently walking beside you and everything is so huge and empty and silent and you're so small and insignificant and it's so beautiful and so scary and you feel like you are on a rollercoaster about to drop down. you are playing mass effect for the first time and you're playing the mission on the moon and you stop and just look up at earth visible in the sky. you know this. this is home. you are playing mass effect for the first time, and the galaxy is so big, and you are so tiny, and everything is about to change for you.
