~ Star Haven 🌟💫✨

being able to listen to the entire Pokemon Violet ost directly on my ´phone might've been the worst thing to happen to me.

SPOILERS FOR THE POKEMON SCARLET/VIOLET TEAL MASK AND INDIGO DISK DLC

like i decided to check out kierans first battle theme, from all the way back at the start of the first dlc when he's just got two baby pokemon on his team but is still super determined to fight you.

but then i noticed that right at the beginning of the track, its super faint but listen closely and you'll notice that faintly, there are these synths that play. It's super faint, and comes back later in the song, though its still very quiet, a secondary theme.

but lets look back at kieran again in the second dlc. This is all the way in his champion battle, the culmination of this arc that's been building up

He's spent months training, working his way up the ranks. Food, sleep, Carmine? All secondary to his goal to become the strongest. He has one of the strongest teams in the entire series, his average pokemon level is higher than Cynthia, higher than Red. For fuck's sake, he started watching VGC and put Fake Out Incineroar on his team. And in the song that plays during this battle, at 1:25 where we hear it again.

The same. Fucking. Riff.

I think that this riff is supposed to represent Kieran's ambition. Except before where it was quiet and meek in the beginning, here it almost interjects itself into the song, the guitar now secondary to it.

Kieran is so far gone by this point in the story, that even after he becomes the champion, beating you is still his one goal, that he wont stop until he proves himself to you. And its especially wild to me that this was all foreshadowed through the music of all things

sorry for the yap session i just really had to get this down somewhere

modern byler goes on animal crossing dates btw. if you even care 🙄

[gravityqueen]

idk if this makes me sound like a boomer, but i still think this is nuts

[lexicals]

The grandfest area was so cute 😭 It's nice that they put real effort into making everything custom for it. I never caught the final splafests for splat 1 or 2 but I've played way more of 3 than either of them so this did have me a little 🥺

[sucktacular]

In my heart we're all playing wild world together and swapping rare items and dumping a bunch of bells at each other's towns and then running back home as if committing a crime 💕💕💕

[microfeelings]

Oh yeah, I explored Chenyu Vale to 100% in two days (100% according to Genshin, so really must be like 70%) I forgot how much fun I had just running around opening shit, solving riddles, finishing challenges <3 exploration my beloved, I'm so sorry I decided I needed to do a shit system to "use characters I wouldnt otherwise use" but I'm not changing it otherwise I'm genuinely just gonna keep using the same 8 characters

[conbuzzled]

for every minute I spend waiting three hours just to play a game on a modern console to download/update/update the console/update the estore/update the fuckin email requiring whatever the fucks. I hope an angel dies

The real essential features of an authentic Super Nintendo retroclone:

Title screen whose art style looks nothing like the rest of the game

Menu goes "bwoop"

Only ever hearing the first seventeen seconds of the best song on the soundtrack because it inexplicably plays exclusively in one particular transitional area where nothing ever happens

That one specific electric guitar sample

Doing stupid tricks with multi-plane parallax; bonus points if it involves a sunset

Default controller mapping assigns something odd to the shoulder buttons because the developers were still figuring out what to do with them

The player character walks behind a semi-transparent object

Important mechanics and/or critical plot information documented only in the game's attract mode, which it has in spite of not being an arcade port

Mutiplayer support in incongruous places

Mode 7 map screen

In Super Mario RPG, the hidden Grate Guy's Casino area features a minigame played against Grate Guy, called "Look the Other Way". When a round starts, Grate Guy will say "Look... the other..." before a brief pause and saying "Way!" while pointing in a direction, with the player's aim being to make Mario look in the opposite direction.

In the Nintendo Switch version of the game, a glitch can occur when playing this game whereby if the player holds a diagonal position on the Control Stick and presses A extremely quickly, Grate Guy's text will become corrupted. Instead of saying "Look... the other... Way!" he will say "Look... the other... Wta yo!n 🇱)"

damn that’s crazy lol

something that's really been bothering me lately is how the church i was a part of would like... repackage doctrine to make it sound nicer and more acceptable. like, the belief that all humans are evil by nature and deserve eternal torture for the crime of existing is inherently violent and cruel. but my church didn't frame it like that. they framed it as "yes we're ALL evil and wicked and we ALL deserve hell to atone for our sin (being human) BUT god loves you despite you not deserving love or happiness or anything good at all and all you have to do to avoid the pits of hell is accept jesus as your savior isn't that so amazing????" and they framed the crucifixion as this beautiful, selfless act of god by taking our place on the cross instead of "this all-powerful being who created all the rules decided that he required torture, death, and human sacrifice to be able to tolerate us". and it's not "women will be viewed as lesser than men" it's "women must submit to their husbands the same way we all must submit to god it's not dehumanizing it's holy and yes women have different roles but that doesn't make them lesser than and sure we don't have any women in leadership positions in the church and we would never even consider it, come on now that's ridiculous, but that's just because men are supposed to lead because men and women are different and created for different purposes it's just biology". and there are plenty others! i know that the reframing of everything is part of how they can even get people to accept the doctrine in the first place, but being on the outside of it is kind of horrifying. when you get down to the actual beliefs that are held without the distortions and manipulation, so many are violent, cruel, dehumanizing, abusive. but they distort and manipulate these beliefs to make them seem acceptable, morally correct, and redefine what love is and should look like.

You want a request? Sure, here ya go! 😀

Back when Genshin Impact first came out, a lot of folks compared it to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. (Some even thought Hoyoverse was directly copying Nintendo, if you can believe it) This little nugget of info was stored away in my head for some time, and now it's finally borne fruit!

SAGAU universe, bc ofc it is, where Creator!Reader would turn off the Genshin music and instead listen to Zelda tunes as they play! Nobody in Teyvat knows where these songs come from, but the Vision Holders who have heard them believe these melodies to be of holy origin. Something that connects them to their Creator, and is either shared to the masses or kept amongst themselves...a secret that only those blessed to be the Makers Vessels are to know.

If we're going the Imposter SAGAU route, it could be that our poor Creator is awaiting to be executed by the Genshin Cast. In an attempt to comfort themselves, they hum one of the songs that they love from the Zelda games (Zeldas Lullaby is always a favorite of mine personally) and the Acolytes overhear them. Whether this leads to more harm or to the Reader getting help, I'll leave that up to you.

Divine Melody

(Synopsis): After being transported to one of your favorite game you’re a accused of being an imposter but a melody changes the minds of Teyvat

(Tags/Warnings): Reader is treated as an imposter, reader almost dies, (if I missed anything lmk)

(Word Count): 770

(A/n): I remember that era, it was a ridiculous accusation to throw, and I hope this fulfills your expectations

A bright light shines in your face causing you to open your eyes

You find yourself in a grassy field and laying in the shade of a large tree. Odd you don’t remember falling asleep outside, this area looks pretty familiar. After a few seconds of trying to figure out where you are, you looked to see a statue

The statue looked absolutely majestic, walking to the front of it you saw that it was holding a glowing teal orb and the statue is in the likeness of Venti

The realization hit you like a ton of bricks

You’re at Windrise, you’re in Genshin

Excitement fills you and instantly began to run to Mondstadt City

Being transported to your favorite video game is supposed to be an amazing experience. Experience the world first person, interact with the characters, all that good jazz. That’s what you expected when you step foot in the city

Instead of the kind smiles you would normally see from behind your screen you were met with the people whispering amongst themselves whilst looking at you

Odd, you kept walking around the city until a knight came up to you and pointed his sword at you

“Halt, foul imposter!” The knight spat out. “How dare you come here wearing their holy presence.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just woke up like-” You were cut off by the sword coming closer to your neck

You looked around to see a crowd gathered around waiting for you, the intensity of the situation only grew and so without much hesitation you ran away from the knight and the crowd

You ran until you bumped into a person, looking up you see Kaeya

“Oh thank god! Kaeya please explain to these people that they got it all wrong, I’m not an imposter!” You pleaded

But why did he look at you with such contempt and disgust? Without a word from him he restrained you, his grip ironclad threatening to leave bruises to your arms

“I got them!” Kaeya yelled at the crowd

The mob gathered around you and bound your hands behind your back and the two knights lead you to a jail cell that had long been abandoned

Why were they treating you this way, you’ve done nothing wrong. Hopeless you curled up into ball on the floor and began to cry uncontrollably

You don’t know how long you spent crying when a knight came to get you from your dingy cell. She took you outside and you the moment you were out the sun blinded you. As you were lead through the street the people pelted rotten fruit at you

All that was going through your mind was “why”

Why are they doing all of these awful things to you, the yells of contempt was a stark contrast to the friendly smiles you’re used to seeing

As you got closer you saw the stake that you’re about to be tied to and set alight, the reality hit you and in a desperate attempt to calm your mind you begin to hum a melody that you would listen to while playing the game

You hum loudly to drown out the chants from the crowd. Strangely it comforted you, perhaps in your last moments finding solace in familiarity pushes the situation out of your mind.

You hummed loudly that someone heard you

“Stop! Stop! Stop!” A familiar voice yelled, quieting the crowd

You look up to see it was Venti who was standing before you. He gets down on his knees and looks you in the eyes

“That melody, sing it again.”

You kept humming the tune and the vision holders all had horrified looks on their faces, they all drop to their knees and bowed before you

“Your Grace, please forgive us for our grave mistake.” Jean said

“W-what are you talking about?” You asked confused beyond comprehension

“Your Grace, do you not realize that you are the creator of Teyvat?” Eula said

You ended the story and looked around at the faces of the children gathered around you. A story that is long behind you and now you dictate your time in teaching future generations the lesson

“What was the song you sang, your Grace?” A girl asked

“It was a song that the vessels would hear when I would pilot them, here let me hum it to you.” You began to hum the melody and as the song progressed you saw the children slowly get lulled to sleep. Finishing your tune you stood up from you chair and whispered “Goodnight, my sweet children.”
