[fullofsunsetwhispers]

Wuya: If you got arrested what would be the charges?

Katnappe: Theft.

Tubbimura: Bribery, money laundering, or insurance fraud if necessary, hai.

Vlad: aggravated assault if someone destroys the family cart.

Cyclops: aaaaagha ab ghaaaa (Disturbing the peace on accident)

Jack: All of the above, in that order, probably.

Vlad: Jack, you forgot hacking.

Jack: Oh, right thanks! Computer crimes in general are my thing.

Tubbimura: Also theft for dog treats.

Katnappe: Oh, right. Same but for cats! 😄

Wuya: Ah, I'm almost proud of all of you! And you, Le Mime? What evil can you commit?

Le Mime: (signs 'mime crimes')

Wuya: I told you I'm not familiar with sign language but I hope it's mischievous enough.

Le Mime: (nods happily)

OK BUT "RUTHLESSNESS" FROM EPIC THE MUSICAL IS GIVING JAVERT WHEN VALJEAN FREES HIM???????

like

You are the worst kind of good

Cause you're not even great

A greek who reeks of false righteousness

That's what I hate

Cause you fight to save lives

But won't kill and don't get the job done

I mean you totally could have avoided all this

Had you just killed my son

But no

You are far too nice

Mercy has a price

It's the final crack we're about to break the ice now

You reveal your name

Then you let him live

Unlike you I've got no mercy left to give cause

Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves

Omg Jean!!! 😳😍

Top 10 Perfumes For The X-Men - Super-power Scents!

Who says super-powers can't have perfumes? -- Here's my list of Top 10 scents for the X-Men

As regular readers will be all too aware, every now and then, I give in to my silly side and broadcast a video that could generously be described as ‘light-hearted’. This is what happened the other day when I presented my Top 10 (+2) list of perfumes inspired by the super-powers of the X-Men, who are currently enjoying a revival, thanks to the new X-Men ’97 animated series. Here’s a link to the…

Home....

It has been two years since the sack of Troy, each of the Achaean kings went off on their own, Menelaus has brought his beloved wife Helen back to Sparta, slowly rebuilding their relationship, Agamemnon goes off to eventually get killed by his wife, but what about Whittle Odysseus?, well dear poets and muses, our poor trickster had sadly sunken to the sea by the rage of Poseidon, for the consequences of injuring the Cyclops Polyphemus, ending his journey to make it back to his witty Penelope and his son, Telemachus who still wonders where his father is.

But that doesn't stop the love of a husband, a love of a father, a man who would sacrifice anything to see them again, so by fateful chance, a rotten hand comes out of the old wreckage of the multiple ships that were destroyed, grabbing onto a small plank, something comes up from the surface, a man who was dead, his skin was a deadly pale, with bits of rot around the body, his hair remained short, the skin between his bottom jaw was slightly torn and rotten, showing bits of bone and skin, his eyes remained the same grey that reassembled the goddess of wits.

Gripping tightly onto the plank, the rotten corpse only muttered out two words

"Pen... ne.... l... lo... pe...."

"Te... le.... ma..... chus...."

More p3r livebloggin/shitpost thoughts. Sorry for the crunchy pictures, literally I'm just too fried to import pics from my PS4.

Because I'm the way that I am, I noticed the paintings hung in the Hierophant/Lovers boss shadow building are real paintings. One on the left is a crop of Liberty Leading the People by Eugene Delacroix, and on the right is Le Cyclops by Odilon Redon. IDK why they picked these paintings because. Why would a painting of the French Revolution be in this kind of hotel but I have some theories?

The hotel they're in is pointed out to have a French title and modeled after French design, for some reason. Les Champs de Fleurs is pointed out in the game meaning a field of flowers. Now -

Liberty Leading the People is a painting about the July revolution that overthrew the French monarchy. The boss event is in July but there's more -

Le Cyclops is about the play(s) about Polyphemus (the cyclops from the Odyssey that Odysseus blinds and tricks) and his love of the sea nymph Galatea, and the drama that ensues. There's many versions of the play but in classic fashion most of them don't end well, with Galatea rejecting him in favor of someone else, and Polyphemus killing them both. This painting in particular is basically Polyphemus creeping on Galatea as she sleeps on a hill of flowers.

I THINK these paintings are meant to represent the reverse hierophant and lovers. Overthrowing of the corrupt hierarchy, and rejection of choice. Also French.

There's one more painting but I have NO IDEA what painting it is

So many paintings have winged babies in them I can't go through them all 😭

Oh yeah linguistics bonus - the boss event takes place on 7/7, aka Tanabata. Some might know it as Japanese Valentine's day. Story goes Orihime and Hikoboshi, lovers separated by duty and the milky way, can meet during this festival as a flock of magpies make them a bridge over the milky way. Milky way, in Japanese is Amanogawa 天の川, literally "river of heaven". An older version is also sometimes used, ginka 銀河, derived from Chinese meaning "silver river". And here is where we get the name of Shirakawa Blvd. 白川...... White River Blvd.

I THINK that's why they named the hotel Champs de Fleurs. The classic Greek mythology of heaven is Elysium, basically a field of flowers in the sky. Kinda as the companion to the river in the sky. Not to mention it's a reference to the famous French street Champs Élysées, literally "Elysian Fields"

Imagine me standing in front of a conspiracy wall covered with red string. That's me all the time with p3

Ok back to shitposting

This is the most emotion I've seen the Mc make all game so far 😂 7 meals back to back will do that to ya. Name I picked was Dank Hour, so I guess it kinda fits. Munchies will do that

Those are her hooves!!

OH MY GOD. HOLY SHIT HANG ON

These puppets are massive

Gameplay thoughts -

- I miss the fatigue mechanic ok. Now there's NOTHING stopping me from spending five hours in Tartarus getting massively over leveled. Also miss it thematically and an excuse to go drink Edogawa's potions for courage boosts

- RIP shuffle time. The new one is good with the variety of cards but man make them fly around again that was fun

- Tartarus looks good. I was skeptical of how they're gonna make a randomly generated dungeon look good on current consoles but. It looks really good and plays well. And I love the added bonus bosses.

- I do miss being able to actually stealth around with different weapons and hunting rare shadows with a bow though. The unstable formations in p3p around half and new moons were also something I wish they incorporated, but maybe it'll come up later? Because the new Tartarus environment would be perfect for some stealth mechanics.

- I don't know if this is because I'm p3 Georg and an outlier that should not be counted but I'm playing on merciless and it's SO EASY???? I'm almost to August and I've ONLY died three times. I'm playing with a 3 people party as a debuff because it's too easy otherwise.

- ailments kinda work different than they used to and I still haven't figured out... What they really do yet. Distress used to guarantee criticals, now I'm not sure what it does???

- the theurgies are broken as hell wtf. This is too much power. I was really hoping they'd bring P2/dds style fusion spells back

General thoughts:

- they still haven't invented weather yet lmao rain was invented in 2011 I see

- Pleasantly surprised by the added cutscenes and hangout events in the dorm. They're actually pretty thoughtful and reflects on the character growth throughout the game instead of just ill humored filler (cough p4 cough). They really nailed it this time.

- Aigis trying to talk to plants and bugs and the meaning of lifeeeee 😭

- the club is simultaneous hilarious and terrifying in the way that they didn't animate the dancers. I get why, but it's so funny. It's just a room of statues with blank faces. At least there's more than five people there

- there's two poster of the Foo Fighters in the station outskirts. Why them specifically? Also if the movies at the theatre have hidden meanings I WILL find them.

- Mitsuru just stands like she's posing for the camera all the time and her idle AND angry animation being a hair flip is so funny. Hello. Flips hair. Come to the command room after dinner we have new mission. Flips hair. I'm going to execute Mr Ekoda for his despicable inaction. Flips hair

- Idk where else to put this but that scene on the roof with the watermelon hits different when you know a watermelon that size in Japan is, depending on the season and economy, at least $50. Junpei really splurged there to cheer up Ken 🥺. That entire scene was great. Why DON'T we watch Akihiko punch the melon open, what an inspired suggestion

- speaking of fruit, if you look at the care package Akihiko got from his parents there are mangoes in there. Mangoes that size and color are like $30 each.

- the dorm. Could be modeled better. Idk if it's the lighting or the textures but... It looks unfinished.

- they kept the little overworld icon that travels between locations to not go over the bridge even though it'd be a shorter route. Nice. There is an instance where it does use the bridge, when you first go to the police station and Junpei is following you around. Also very nice touch. Whichever dev is responsible for this detail I see and appreciate your work 🫡

- was not expecting even the NPCs to be fully voice acted. They're all so charming!

- at the beginning of the game it tells you to put your things away in the closet. Highlighted. But we can't open or interact with the closet in any way??? Why was closet highlighted??? Did the game do that just to call us gay??

- and also where's my silly outfit???? Everyone has gotten butler and maid outfits except the mc. Where's my goofy outfit I want one too.... Where's the clown outfit from the dancing game.... Where's the maid outfit.... Once my pc arrives I'll absolutely be installing the emo mod. Let my besties reveal their true 2009 forms

« Ils ne connaissent ni les mythes grecs ni l’éthique chrétienne ni les moralistes français ni la métaphysique allemande ni la poésie de tous les poètes du monde.

Devant la vraie vie, ils ne sont que des nains. Mais ce sont des Goliaths techniciens – donc des géants dans toute œuvre de destruction, où se dissimule finalement leur mission, qu’ils ignorent en tant que telle.

Ils sont d’une clarté et d’une précision inhabituelles dans tout ce qui est mécanique. Ils sont déroutés, rabougris, noyés dans tout ce qui est beauté et amour. Ils sont titans et cyclopes, esprits de l’obscurité, négateurs et ennemis de toutes forces créatrices.

Eux qui peuvent réduire à rien des millions d’années par quelques maigres efforts, sans laisser aucune œuvre derrière eux qui puisse égaler le moindre brin d’herbe, le moindre grain de blé, la plus modeste aile de moustique.

Ils sont loin des poèmes, du vin, du rêve, des jeux, empêtrés sans espoir dans des doctrines fallacieuses, énoncées à la façon des instituteurs prétentieux. »

Avec Christine, on a fêté nos 40 ans d'amitié en faisant un voyage de 15 jours en Sicile.

Redescente de l'Etna par son flanc est. Nous voici maintenant en bord de la Mer Ionienne, à Aci Castello (avec son château perché sur une pointe de basalte). En voisins, les Scogli dei Ciclopi (Rochers des Trois Cyclopes) d'Aci Trezza.
