Omg I'm SOOOO LOVING THIS!

All the expression, and depth to each of the characters makes them feel so alive. I love them so much!

Captain Boomerang vs John Constantine

How is this even going to work?

There in Central City and Constantine is being followed by Digger. Constantine goes into a taxi and Digger gets in on the other side. I want to do a conversation with them but don’t know how to go about it…

For those who have read my comic format story, Raven Constantine. You’d know this is about Raven adding magical security measures. I just… I don’t know how to go about this interaction. Both of these characters are bastards and I’m having a hell of a time being mean.

Like how do you write a mean character? I think I do well with psychopath or megalomaniac but… someone who’s just a jerk because they just are is extremely hard to understand or even write. Any ideas would be appreciated.😅

Personally, I prefer DPN’s, but here’s a video showing how you do the magic loop. Not my most elegant video 😂🫣 I think you can tell I don’t do this very often 😅

You will need a long circular needle, preferably 80 cm or more.

Other solutions for small circumference knitting are:

🧶 using 2 circulars,

🧶very small circulars, or

🧶 boomerang needles, i.e. a set of 3 curved dpns.

soooo despite playing lots i am HORRIBLY behind on posting about my playthrough, and unfortunately i may never actually end up covering some parts of the game despite my many thoughts about it 😓 but!!!! i wanted to drop a couple interesting meta observations i found along the way:

we all know and love the very sweet side quest involving Richard's time-skip letter to Asbel that he left at Lhant Hill 💜💜 I just found it kinda funny that he attached a large sum of glad as a reward, considering he was mortified when Asbel turned down the gift of his ring the first time. i can't tell if Richard just genuinely wanted Asbel to have a little spending money or if he was trying to pspspsp his old friend into hanging out with him again 😂 bribery makes friendships stronger?

some weapon flavor text I found amusing, assuming they're canon: Malik's bladerang returns to his hand because of magic, not physics like an actual boomerang, but that's not surprising because I don't think actual physics would allow a bladerang to function the way it does in game 😅 the wryness of the text is amusing, though.

also, apparently Graces is set in the same universe as us??? or there's a DIFFERENT planet called Earth, who knows how many galaxies over it could be. anyway I believe this makes all modern AUs and various other real-life based fan works slightly closer to canon than they might originally seem 😅

here's one that I was super excited to figure out: I'd been wondering about the inclusion of lilies (at least, I ASSUME these are lilies 😅) in various official artworks for graces like this one and this one considering they're not a mandatory plot symbol like sopherias are, yet remain prevalent alongside them. But this random dualizing flavor text answered it for me: they're the national flower of Windor! lilies typically represent purity and innocence but also sometimes love, grief, and femininity (which is why i thought at first that they were associated with Fodra). neat :)

lastly, a small meta detail that I THINK I've figured out the source of but I'm not 100 percent sure? I've been trying to have everyone eat lots of their favorite foods so they'll unlock their respective titles (just recently confirmed that eleth mixer-produced foods count which is excellent, that's much cheaper and less time consuming). I recently obtained Asbel's title and equipped it to him, then immediately after I saw this in the post-battle text:

this may not seem like much, but that's not the normal text for eleth-mixer dishes, nor is curry normally eaten AFTER battle (unless dualized and consumed from the menu) since its effect is a one-time recovery from KO. below is the normal eleth mixer text for both curry and after-battle dishes:

So my tentative conclusion is that when a character has their food-loving title equipped, there's some percent chance that the party will eat it after battle, with effects that carry over into the next. It definitely doesn't trigger after every battle, Cheria and Hubert weren't giving out helpings of grilled chicken or omurice when they were mastering their titles, but of course Asbel IMMEDIATELY made everyone eat his beloved dish for the millionth time 😂 now I'm working on making crablettes for Sophie so she can spread the love too 😁

Not sure if this has been asked before, but do the COA Links all have different fighting styles or are there a few general ones? Style as in overly offensive/defensive and ranged/close-up. Also, coinciding with the last question, what is everyone’s preferred weapon?

This hasn’t been asked before, it’s a good question!

They all have at least somewhat distinct fighting styles, but there’s similarities between them too, so there’s kind of a few general ones. Like any that have had knight training tend to fight similarly, and those in nearby timelines also tend to have similar styles, the three that have used the Four Sword tend to fight in similar ways, Hue and Hibiscus have similar items so they fight pretty similarly, etc. (does that make sense? 😅)

I’ll do a quick overview of what I think everyone’s main weapons are, but I mostly haven’t decided on who prefers offense vs defense yet. It probably depends a little on the battle too.

Cloud — the Master Sword is at rest, but he’d prefer her over anything. Uses a standard Skyloft knight’s sword if he really has to. His favorite non-sword weapon is the whip.

Mini — his preferred weapon is a sword, he uses one his grandfather made. Mainly sticks to it, but likes his boomerang fairly well.

Kaleidoscope — he prefers using a sword, uses a nicer version of a typical knight’s one. Doesn’t have many items, and doesn’t really have a favorite.

Sprite — prefers a sword, typically uses the Great Fairy’s Sword or a few others. Favorite non-sword weapon is his bow.

Gloam — prefers his Ordon sword, his favorite non-sword weapon is the ball and chain.

Light — he uses a pretty standard blade, nothing feels like it measures up to the Four Sword. Favorite non-sword weapon is the fire rod, hammer, boomerang and bow (...decision making is not his forte).

Windy — Phantom Sword, his favorite non-sword weapon is probably the wind waker

Spirit — Lokomo Sword, favorite non-Sword item is a tie between his whip and bow (of light)

Hibiscus — uses everything. all of it. sometimes multiple items at once.

Hue — a blade from the forge he works at, helped make it himself. Has a lot of items he uses along with his sword, tends to prefer them over it in a lot of cases.

Brownie — Magic sword, uses his magic almost exclusively otherwise, but uses his boomerang a fair amount as well.

Era — standard knight’s blade. Favorite non-sword weapon is his spinner (sue him, it’s fun)

Slate — primarily fights with a bow, (his favorites are the ones that shoot multiple), but in close-range he uses whatever he’s got, sword, spear, claymores, sticks, etc.

First — can only do so much fighting, but he uses the sword Orville kept for him all those years he was imprisoned.

Sign: Capricorn

Despite him being a rookie still. In both planning and pulling an operation altogether.. he's good at keeping things confidential.

Also he has the ability to fix all things metal obviously and can transmute crystals types of power that are written in an invisible enchanted form.

Yuma- has the power to control gravity..breaking rocks to bits, due to him being the next leader like figure and mostly likely to be his sister's successor.

His anger is the key to using his power with force and mighty powerful emotions

Sign: Pisces

Try not to anger him because once he is angry the ground shakes and he sometimes doesn't know how to control it with full force entirely yet.

He always sticks up to the ones he cares about and especially when he slowly is growing up, starts having a crush 😅.

Masahiro- has the power of multiplication and shapeshifting, because he's only so young he cannot get control it. And besides he joins the team all because of the rest and says I wanna be of help too

Despite him only being 5 he of course can be always left behind the rest, and whines a lot.. he's a bit spoiled but only because he's younger.

But when it really counts he does show emotions of compassion to others when his friends and family's lives are at stake.

Although he's a slacker at times... For being so young you don't expect much of him yet.
