Alrighty friends, here we go, Breakfast Tea's Battle Scars Review. Putting it under the cut because spoilers, and also my levels of spiciness are at maximum. Lots of swears ahead! I don't tend to write book reviews (hi, unpublished author over here) but, uh, this is for science!
For the record, I have NO IDEA how these tie-ins are commissioned. So, for example, I don’t know if the author came up with the plot and it was okayed, or if she was told “do something with A, B, C and D and make it a book” so I appreciate that she probably didn’t have as much freedom as a fic writer.
Also, yes, I did get to the point where I was skimming chunks of the book, so if I'm factually wrong, feel free to correct me, but know that it won't make me like the book any better because my issues are layered and numerous👍
Also also, this is pretty stream-of-consciousy so go with me, okay?
Finally, there’s *one* spoiler that I’m guessing will tie into the game re: Greez.
Okay, let’s GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Plot Summary (warning, I haven't done a good job summarising it hahahahahahahaaa)
The plot is - the crew go to break into a Haxion Brood base because reasons. While they're there they find a bunch of stormtroopers, one of whom is actually Fret, who wants to defect because she's sick of the Empire. Merrin is instantly attracted to her which, okay, sure, fine, to the point of becoming completely giddy around her. Also, Merrin's been struggling with her powers because of all her trauma from Dathomir (a very good a legit reason but, uh, didn't we do that with Cal in the game ANYWAY AHEM) but DON'T WORRY, SHE JUST NEEDS TO HAVE SEX WITH THE RIGHT PURPLE LADY BECAUSE SHE’S ANGRY AT THE EMPIRE TOO AND SEX WILL SOLVE ALL OF MERRIN’S WOES AND LITERALLY ALLOWS HER TO ACCESS HER MAGICK AGAIN WOO! Oops, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
Fret then reveals she's not actually a stormtrooper but used that as a disguise to escape because don't you know it, she's got intel that will lead them to something called the Shroud, which will essentially make anyone who has it invisible. Think cloaking technology from Star Trek. That's the best comparison. So, if the rebels have this, they'll be able to undertake sneak attacks, but if the Empire has it, BAD NEWS. ANYWAY, the crew go to the person Fret’s working with who claims he’s anti-Empire too and he’ll use the Shroud for good and everyone agrees they’ll go get the schematics and bring them to him. Off they go and find said Shroud schematics after Merrin totally gets her powers back after receiving some sexual healing (no, really), only to discover the Shroud’s schematics aren’t written down but are instead secure in Fret's oops-not-dead lizard girlfriend Irei's head... and she's vaguely Force-sensitive because OF COURSE SHE FUCKING IS. Oh and the Fifth Brother is here too because he naturally wants the Shroud and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
The Mantis crew are all totally at odds with each other because it turns out despite living and working together for years they’re all after totally different things but have never said anything until now, which would be interesting if Fret wasn't there being all self-insert OC. And anyway, don't worry, the crew gets over it. Oh, and Greez loses an arm protecting Cal and Cere from the Fifth Brother about halfway through.
Uuuuh what else….??? Oh! Right, Fret’s dealer dude. They realise he’s bad, they defeat him. Boom. Can’t be arsed to go into more detail than that (also I was totally falling asleep reading this part, my bad???).
Fret and her ex(?) get back together (kinda??), leave the Mantis after the whole Shroud thing and the Fifth Brother are dealt with, Merrin opts to not go with them and Fret’s like “Oh, yeah, I see what you have with Cal” and Merrin’s like “??? Cal’s like that with everyone.” Interpret that at your discretion.
OH OH OH and Cere totally goes off to find some Jedi circlet thing that is LITERALLY A VIDEOGAME ACCESSORY USED TO BOOST STATS which is (unintentionally??) hilarious but fuck that it’s so completely lost in the rest of it, as is a lot of Cere’s desire to create a legacy for the Jedi.
The Good!
Hooray for LGBTQ+ representation!
Fight scenes are good when the action is happening.
Cere's characterisation is okay???? Like out of all of them, she feels the most in character... kind of???????? I get her motivation, and it feels fairly close to what I think she's gonna be up to in the next game. But her decision to… wait… sorry, this was meant to be positive. ARGH! Alright, let’s move on…
I really like the concept that, since the end of the first game, they’ve all been on the run from the Empire and the Haxion Brood. Excellent concept! I’m guessing Survivor will give us more.
I also really like the concept that the crew all want different things.
SPOILER!!! Greez loses an arm. This scene was pretty good and believable – Greez wants to save Cal and Cere and he makes a terrible sacrifice to do so.
The Everything Else
👎 Wish that LGBTQ+ rep was in a better written book. I do read romance sometimes (or, more accurately, books in which romance occurs) and I am not opposed to instant attraction. But I like it to be a bit less fire-hose-of-HAWTNESS to the face. It basically feels that Merrin has a week-long relationship with someone in which sex solves all her problems??? There's a lot of stuff in this book about why Merrin can't go to her actual friends with this (she's a Nightsister, dammit, and no one can understand how she feels but Fret is angry like Merrin is, therefore instacrush, lust, sex and AAAAARGH), but wouldn’t it be much more narratively satisfying if the people who support her through her troubles are the ones she has long-term relationships with??? Near the end Cal does become this person to her but it feels a bit awkward. Almost like he’s stepping up because Fret left. 👎 Merrin’s struggles here, while absolutely understandable, feel like a rehash of Cal’s entire journey in the game… except Cal sorts his shit out one way, and Merrin shags her way to better mental health. I mean, get yours, Merrin, but it feels like an odd choice, because… 👎 Fret, Merrin's love interest, feels like such an author self-insert it actually made me uncomfortable. Lady, I don't wanna read your fantasies!!!
Tumblr media
👎 The plot doesn’t have room to breathe because there’s too much going on. And while I’m here, the Shroud feels completely universe breaking because while the prototype they wind up making is a fake and becomes a bomb, the fact that Irei designed it to hide herself (she’s Force sensitive, remember??!?!?!) means it could potentially work and literally change the Star Wars universe... But Irei’s a total non-entity in the rest of canon sooooooooo this universe breaking macguffin is pointless, making the plot largely pointless??? Or did I miss something when I got to the skimming part? WHATEVER. The Shroud thing… Aaaah, I’ll get back to that later… 👎 There’s too much authorial voice masquerading as the characters. In other words, I didn’t hear the characters, I just heard the author coming through loud and clear. (and okay, yeah, every time I have a character suddenly be British makes me guilty of this too BUT I like to think it’s not as bad as this. HEY! LET ME HAVE MY DELUSIONS ALRIGHT?!). For example, Cal goes off on this whole *thing* about the Fifth Brother's hat, which doesn't feel like him at all. At no point in the game did he go off about Trilla’s helmet (which he compares the Fifth Brother’s hat to) or trade really petty insults. He has his whole bravado thing going on, but not “dude, your hat looks STOOPID.” Seriously, it’s about a page of him being uncharacteristically cocky and sassy (more on Cal’s characterisation later). This authorial voice tendency makes everyone feel the same, especially when you’ll read one thing in Cal’s POV, move onto Greez’s, and Greez will think the exact same thing. There’s very little differentiation in character voice. The banter is BAD.   👎I'm not saying JFO isn't funny because it has some lovely moments (“Wait, do you have feet?”), but they are light touches. This book's 'humour' is like having an anvil dropped on your head. This is the book where subtly came to die until the VERY end where there’s some nice moments with Cal and Merrin… except it’s ruined by Cal CONSTANTLY thinking about how he needs to protect his family… Which brings me onto… 👎 This book is so repetitive. If Cal referred to the others as 'Family' one more time, or someone else said they wanted to make a dent in the Empire’s hull, I'm not sure my e-reader would've survived. I actually counted btw – pg 77 of my ebook edition has the word family on it 7 times. SEVEN TIMES. The word crops up 39 times overall and once I noticed it, I couldn’t stop. The phrase ‘making a dent’ appears 9 times and again, once I noticed it, I couldn’t stop. Oh editor, where are you?
Tumblr media
👎 It’s also inconsistent in its storytelling. For instance, there’s a moment where Merrin and Cere go off on a mission together and Merrin reflects on how well they always work together… and then later on she goes off with Fret and is like “It’s so nice to not be alone for a change!!!” And while this is probably in reference to how her and Cal tend to approach missions from different angles (literally – above and below), it’s one of those instances where something here needed editing – e.g. actually Merrin and Cere have never done a mission together, therefore that’s nice, and so when she goes off with Fret she can be like “wow, twice in one day! I could get used to this!” It’s shit like that made the whole thing so frustrating. 👎The structure is bad. Midway through an otherwise good action scene, the POV character will stop to think for so long they would have been killed. It really disrupts the flow of the battle. The pacing just screeches to a halt. It’s the same whenever the characters reminisce on the events of the game, but I’ll come back to that. Stick a pin in it! 👎 The book also does a several days later flashback that wrecks the pacing. We’re at this moment of tension – they’re about to break into a compound but oh no – the access codes from Merrin’s girlfriend don’t work because GASP she lied about abandoning the Empire! Cue tension! Cue drama! Cue… romance in a ‘several days earlier’ flashback. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH. Honestly, poor, poor Cal the first time he gets to use his own room again. Echoes EVERYWHERE. He’s gonna go as red as his hair every time he looks at Merrin and everyone’s gonna get the wrong idea. Sorry, what was my point? OH RIGHT! Pacing! Pacing BAD.
Tumblr media
👎 BEEDEE WUN. Get. In. the. Fucking. Bin. 👎 Speaking of our beloved BD, he is here, but he's referred to as 'Cal's droid' or Cal is referred to as his master, which... no. Absofuckinglutely NO. At one point, Merrin (who presumably has known BD for 2-3 years at this point), thinks of BD as Cal’s ‘strange but cute little droid’. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?! They are friends. Best friends. Cere, when thinking of the crew, her family, states there are "four and a half people" on the crew. BD IS NOT HALF A PERSON, AND ALSO OH GOD THE HISTORICAL CONNOTATIONS OF THIS ARE SO BAD, HOW THE HELL DID AN EDITOR NOT PICK UP ON THIS?!?!?!?
👎Cal's characterisation is NOT good. He is so inconsistent outside of I MUST PROTECT MY FAMILY. MY FAMILY, THE CREW OF THE MANTIS, WHO ARE MY FAMILY. I WILL DIE TO PROTECT THEM, MY FAMILY, THE ONLY PEOPLE LEFT TO ME THAT I LOVE, THE MANTIS CREW. Which, for the record, works as a motivator for him, but not when it’s done with all the nuance of a sledgehammer to the knees. When Merrin's busy having sex in the engine room (you know, where Cal sleeps, the guy with psychometry), he is initially naive to the point of stupidity. “Oh golly gosh, Merrin’s sealed the door, I guess that means her powers are coming back!” He was on Bracca for 5 years. I think he knows what goes on behind closed doors. When he realises what's happened, he is both totally blasé (the Jedi don’t have relationships so he’s never thought about it), and also jealous in a way that can be interpreted in one of two ways, depending on your shipping leanings. He's either jealous because Merrin is HIS woman (oh, no, sorry, I mean GIRL. Fucking HATE it when adult women are called girl), or he's jealous because Fret is inserting herself into HIS FAMILY, THE CREW OF THE MANTIS, THE FAMILY HE WILL DIE FOR when she’s a lying liar who lies. He’s *so* petty he refers to Fret as a ‘gal’ which, again, UUUUUUUUUUUGH. Oh, and he's seen an echo revealing Fret to be a liar, but he's not going to disclose it to the others because he doesn’t want to hurt Merrin when she’s finally happy and able to use her magick again and yet Fret might be about to kill his family, the crew of the Mantis, the people Cal will literally die for. Because they’re his family. PICK A MOOD, CAL. Actually, wait, I’m not done with what’s been done to Cal…
His characterisation makes me want to weep. He gets annoyed with Cere for wanting to find a Jedi relic despite... the entire... first game... being... about... this... exact... thing????? I think the author was going for “well, Cere wants to create a legacy for the Jedi so their history is not lost to time!” whereas Cal wants to (say it with me!) ‘put a dent in the Empire’s hull’ which, okay, there’s an interesting contrast, but Cal is someone who is inherently linked with the past so why is *this* the conflict between these two? It’s not quite working for me, probably because it’s just not central enough to the plot. If *this* was what we dug into, it would probably work really well. Unfortunately, we’re not here for that.
Tumblr media
Cal also says shit like “What’s the problem here, team?” like he’s in middle management.
👎 The book is set somewhere between the two games and is purposefully vague, which *would* work if these characters *felt* like they'd spent years together instead of the author telling us they have. Relationship-wise, it feels like we're maybe a couple of months out from the game because the book wastes so much of its word count going back over events from the game… which happened years ago at this point! My guess is it was written with people who hadn't played the game in mind, which again just makes the pacing suffer. Plus, we’ve got five people who’ve lived together for years (they’re a family, a crew, they love each other like family, they will DIE FOR EACH OTHER!!!!!!), and yet all of them see their mission differently. Y’all have been at this for YEARS but it’s only now that you realise you’re not united?! This would work if we were closer in time to the original game… but years down the line?! And again, this is a GREAT concept! SO much to work with there… except we’ve got sexy purple lady and lizard lady in the way of what could’ve been an amazing character exploration of CHARACTERS WE KNOW AND LOVE. STICK ANOTHER PIN IN IT!
👎 The author struggles to integrate game mechanics into a n ovel. BD-1 will just randomly hand Cal stims because hey, I guess that’s what he does in the game????????? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 👎 The author hasn’t heard of show, don’t tell. Stop bloody telling me that Cal loves his family and show me – give me a scene where they sit down for a meal together. Give me a scene where Cal sits with Greez after he’s injured. ANYTHING that shows me rather than smashes me over the head with one of the 39 uses of the word family.
👎 Cere really randomly refers to Cal as her Padawan when he’s busy getting his arse handed to him by the Fifth Brother. Cal’s honest, he knows he didn’t beat Trilla because he was stronger than her, but this is YEARS later. Has he not gotten stronger in that time? SIGH. Also, Cal might be mentored by her but he’s not strictly speaking her Padawan? Okay, now I’m just nitpicking… 👎 WAIT, ONE MORE! Cal refers to Master Tapal as Master Jaro. That just irritated me.
How I’d Rewrite It
So, let’s take the pin out and examine the lack of character exploration (except for Merrin who we do get to have a good look at in a weird way). The main issue I have with this book is Fret and Irei get in the way of what could have been a really good character-building piece for the five characters we know and love from the game.
So, wanna know how I’d write it? Simplify and FOCUS:
The Mantis crew are infiltrating a Haxion Brood base because they’ve gotten their hands on a precious Jedi relic that the Empire are also after. While there, Cal and the others find the relic but are attacked by the Brood and the Empire. A defector (Fret) finds them and says the Empire is using the Fifth Brother to hunt for the Shroud’s schematics and its inventor (Irei), who’s in hiding. Fret gives them the name and location of the broker who will pay the crew for retrieving the Shroud and Irei – a man linked to the Rebellion known as Luthen Rael. He’ll also give them Irei’s location. While trying to escape, Fret gets shot and killed by the Brood or the Empire or WHATEVER and the crew feel somewhat obligated to carry on with her mission because the Shroud is a double-edged sword. Cere’s hopes of starting her great Jedi legacy have to be put on hold, Merrin’s still worried about her powers because she’s lost and doesn’t know if she’s getting the vengeance she seeks, Greez thinks finally Cal’s going to stop going for bigger and bigger gambles, Cal’s excited to be doing something really important, and BD-1 is happy to see a new world and meet new people. Also, there’s no breaking into anywhere without him, and they need to move fast.
Great, we’ve got our ticking clock – get the Shroud before the Fifth Brother!
However, because the crew’s been run ragged due to being hunted by the Brood for so long, they’re starting to make mistakes and Cal’s taking bigger and bigger risks with little pay out, so the crew goes into the mission at odds with each other. After BD hacks his way into the systems and locates Irei, Merrin gets her to safety. Cal and Greez get hurt when they go up against the Fifth Brother because Cere, convinced she needs to try and save him from the dark side because he too was once a Jedi like Trilla, tries to save him and it backfires horribly. They all manage to escape and get to the Mantis, fall out because they all want different things. They take the time needed to figure that out and reunite, take Irei to Luthen (they get out just in time when the Fifth Brother comes back again), Cal and Merrin fight him off together because Merrin’s got her powers back because she has a purpose again (working for the Rebellion) and off they go to the next adventure.
Your subplots are essentially the same:
Cal wants to stick it to the Empire and help as many people as he can, while keeping his family safe, however he needs to understand that doing this randomly is essentially pointless (which… okay, I have issues with this too but if I go off on that you’re never getting the next chapter of the Big Fic. I’m working with what I got, friends!!!)
Tumblr media
BD-1 is just happy to go wherever Cal goes so long as he gets to scan new stuff and slice new systems!
Cere wants to build and protect the Jedi’s legacy by gathering everything she can of their history. She *is* tiring of the seemingly hopeless battle against the Empire and *wants* to put down roots, and she *needs* to be honest with Cal about this (who, once he got over his “you can’t leave me, Cere!” initial reaction would be absolutely fine with this??? HEY, WORKING WITH WHAT I’VE GOT!)
Merrin wants to regain her powers, and she needs to come to terms with the terrible trauma she experienced, but she can do this not through what is ultimately a fling, but by being honest with Cal, Cere, Greez and BD and working through it with her family. You tie it into the plot by having them working for the Rebellion, which means Merrin finally feels a purpose because it’s through the rebels she sees that she’s not the only one who suffered great loss and, like them, she can do something about it. And hey, maybe she hooks up with Irei in a much subtler and less SEXUAL HEAAAAAAAAAAAALING way because she wants to.
Greez wants to stick with his family, but he needs to be honest with Cal and say if they’re going to keep doing this whole kicking it to the Brood and the Empire, they’ve got to be smarter about it.
Basically, by cutting out all the OC bullshit, you focus on the crew we all know and love from Fallen Order without some rando OC being there to FLY THE MANTIS. Get the FUCK out of there! If I didn’t think Fret was a self-insert before, her getting to fly the Mantis sealed it for me.
There is a GOOD CONCEPT buried in the depths of this book. It’s just, y’know, not to my taste.
Alright, I think that does it for now. PHEW! That feels better ^_^

Hi there friend ! I am not yet familiar with your Rook(s) so pick the one you're thinking about RIGHT NOW fifty questions for rook : 22, 30 and 39 !
I have too many of em but the delight of the hour with a fic coming out soon is my highly canon-divergent makes-me-insane-to-consider "Ingellvar" Mara!! (She is my custom Hawke's daughter. Oh yeah. she's 18 in Veilguard. It counts.) Let's gooooooooooooooo (ALSO HI LOVELY!!!)
fifty questions for rook! |
22. Most embarrassing memory as a teenager: [Aside from Mara still being one and trying not to let on to the Veilguard at ALL -] "All right, Mara, are you ready to commit to this course?" Isabela intones with all the weight of an admiral; Mara puffs up straight as a rod and nods. "No, I need to hear you say it, otherwise it doesn't count -"
"Yes admiral!" Mara chirps, which is echoed by a bark from Malcolm the mabari, breaking the solemnity as both Mara and Isabela bust into laughter.
"Good! Come on, then, before your mother catches wise," Isabela insists before leading a sprint out of the Hawke estate and leading Mara on a run down to Kirkwall's docks. Mara can barely keep up, gasping for air and losing track of Isabela more than once. At least Mara remembers where Isabela's ship is docked and manages to get there without wasting too much time.
"Double-time now, scalawag!" Isabela orders with a grin even though Mara is fit to collapse. "Up the mainmast and out onto the yard arm, give us a twirl, love."
"Aunt Izzie -"
"You wanted this training, come on! Up you go!"
A sense of approaching made Mara start; that had to be Justice warning her Mama was on the way. Oh no...
But up Mara climbs, trying to go quickly with Isabela watching and her crew cheering Mara on. Mara manages to get up onto the yardarm, but the wind and lack of any greater support than a polished tree trunk left Mara hesitating.
"Mara! What are you doing, get down here!" Kyran Hawke's voice cuts into Mara's awareness. She's sure Mama is about to give Isabela hell for this, but Mara had chosen it. She had to do this.
So Mara steps out onto the yard arm, arms extended, and musters a spin. Slowly at first, then a little quicker as Mara finds a feel for the wood under her feet -
Then slips, tumbling through the air but caught by her mother's force magic. A public scolding was not on the docket. But despite the mortification of that, Mara sees the proud flare in her mother's gaze and Isabela's grin and nod. She was going to be a duelist one day. Just like Aunt Izzie.
30. What is Rook’s class? Did they choose it? Mara is a rogue! She did indeed choose that track, mostly because Mara is far too crafty - inherited from her father, our favorite mage revolutionary Anders - to be anything less than too smart for her own good. Mara's roguish foundations, as above, are all thanks to Isabela and, of course, Varric, but backed up with weapons training from Aveline.
39. What is their room at The Lighthouse like? Mara's proper Lighthouse room would have a lot of nods to Kirkwall and Ferelden in style - although a Marcher by birth, Mara still respects being at least a little Fereldan - but the bits she ends up collecting come from mostly Tevinter and especially Nevarra. Her windows would face a far view of sky and mountains with the sea in the distance (not unlike Kirkwall's bay) and her bed would be angled so she could be looking out that way whenever she woke up.

Important news im near the last boss of Sonic Rush and i must pester thee abt it:
- I rlly like Blaze :)
-Finally getting over the Skill Issue (nah but rlly all those posts of thee abt sonic's design philosophy absobed through osmosis made me appreciate its game style more. Its fast n fun :D)
- Blaze is so neat, i like her character arc and how she starts all edgy and softens up
- The ost slaps, Huge Crisis's track has embedded itself into my mind for the greater good
-extra funny to me is a part where Cream calls the eggmans "a pair of eggheads". Normally unremarkable except im playing in spanish and yet she still says it like that so. Cream the rabbit says dickhead canon
- Blaze 🔥🐈🔥
That's all 👍
Hell yeah welcome to the Rush club 😎 fun fact: while it's not one of my comfort Sonic games (haven't played it in a while, but I did play it on the actual DS), my name comes from it!
also let's gooooooooooooooo Jeh Jeh Rocket fan super underrated 🔥🔥🔥
youtube
(yeah that's its name. because it goes jeh jeh. naganuma composer of all time)
(also yes if you didn't know almost all tracks have a CD version! but sometimes I prefer the in-game version, such as in What U Need's case - i want to eat that bass so much)
Pretty neat that Rush can be considered one of the first Boost games in the series. Advance 2 is the grandpa, Rush is the dad, Unleashed is the son :P and for being the first game relying on a boost gauge, which trivializes some of the challenge, I say they did a pretty good job with the levels, having tons of spectacle but still having a reasonable difficulty curve. Well, in Sonic's campaign. I still don't know who was the genius who said "yeah Blaze should start from the fourth level" :V
But yeah Blaze is cool! She has a super cool design and powers, and her character arc of learning to trust others is very... well, it's fitting with Sonic's general Power of Friendship theme :P (in fact you could compare her to Twilight Sparkle lmaooooo)
Also it seems Cream has learned from the best.
youtube
Mmh, I have noticed that you didn't mention the Special Stages. Oh boy. Have fun with them :)
Anyway, I'm happy you had fun with Rush! Rush Adventure is its sadly underrated sequel, which I recommend after you're done :>

THAT'S A GREAT OPENING SHOT I LOVE ME A SKELETON HAND!
omg a glimpse into coach ben's life pre-crash <3
the juxtaposition between the soup and the cannibalism happening outside the cabin... fun
"what kind of asshole puts cumin in clam chowder' comedy time <3
WAIT SO THEY DONT REALIZE WHAT THEY DID... THE FOREST PUT THEM IN A TRANCE/HAZE?
oh it's just tai? poor tai
"taissa! we ate her" i love this show <3
no wonder taissa is in the state she's in in present time like the others seem to recall the ritualistic cannibalism but she completely blocked it out she's dealing with it like she deals with everything else which is shutting down but then having it shoved in her face like that... she succumbed to the forest like the others but she's dragging her feet and kicking the whole way...
"tai... you ate her face" LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i love how there is something seriously wrong w everyone in this show its so good <3
"at least if you bury her out there it will look like she died with the rest of them" FIRST OF all way to single yourself up for next on the buffet table coach! secondly though... 1) i am pretty sure they would be able to tell that she was eaten, whether by humans or animals i dont know but i think they can tell that even in the 90s and 2) i think given the extreme circumstances and the fact that jackie wasnt like, murdered, it's not something that would be like. held against them? like as a crime i mean. socially of course cannibalism is one of the most taboo of taboos but like. theyre starving in the woods after every possible attempt to escape gone wrong. their friend died of semi-natural causes (stubbornness and the forest's influence, one or the other or both?). so.
lottie helping her cult members w their stuff while suffocating her true self under layers of bullshit while nat hangs out outside scowling... love it
THE ANTLER'S ABOVE LOTTIE'S DOORSTEP... LET'S FUCKING GO I LOVE SOME GOOD IMAGERY
"emotions run high" says the cult member maintaining eye contact while cutting off a chicken's head, to natalie who survived 15 excruciating months trapped in the wilderness and embroiled in cultlike and fairytale-eque dynamics while contending with cannibalism. hilarious. i think it'd be funny if nat PRETENDED to stab her again for a laff
OH SIMONE :( my question is... how much more will taissa go on before the acknowledges it? opens up? peels back the layers and years and releases her control and gives into the fear and unknown and the dark calling her name? the man with no eyes who trails after her? her own ghost? and what will it cost her? and what will it do to her once she's done it? or will she never do it? so many questions <3
(i dont want these answers now btw im just enjoying the ride)
SHE SUBCONSCIOUSLY DREW THE SYMBOL ON HER WIFE'S HAND...
IS IT WEIRDO BESTIE TEAMUP TIME? LET'S GO LET'S GO LET'S GO
i want them to be partners in crime so bad like committed bestie crime team SO bad i NEED it
"you never know when you might need to leave the country sans passport" LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WALTER LET'S GO
i completely forgot about shauna and jeff i wont lie
"i think the stuff is for bisexuals and goths" BISEXUALS MENTION!
SHAUNA SAID YOURE NO FUN TO JEFF LET'S GOOOOOO
"i could've gone strawberry i almost did" this is so fdjksfjdkfshdahdsjf
we all get boring in adulthood i guess even girlies who partake in ritualistic cannibalism of their best friend/current husband's high school girlfriend while stranded in the remote wilderness. ah well.
SHAUNA TOOK A CAR THIEF OUT AND THEN JEFF INTERRUPTED HER BOOOOOOO JEFF BOOOOOOOOO
SHAUNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IM SCREECHING
bees? beehives? "the first thing a new queen does is sting other queens to death" fun <3 eye see it <3
"otherwise they starve. we all do" LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"it's what she would have wanted. maybe not for the rest of us, but for you. for the baby" [HIGH PITCHED SCREECHING]
LOTTIE KNOWS ITS A BOY?
the girls all being excited for a baby shower <3 a shred of something to cling to <3 cant wait for the forest to fuck it up <3
"HIT HIM. HIT HIM RIGHT NOW" MISTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY [snickering]
IM SAJFKJKFSDJFKJFKSF THEYRE SO FUCKING FUNNY <3
"i'd do anything to see [her nephew] again, you'know?" like cannibalism? :)
"that's not the first time ive eaten a person" HUH??????
THE TWIN THING? FJDKFJSFKJAKFJDKSJSDK
coach is mclosing it huh.
"they need me" "and i dont?" FHAFJKHKSDJKDASJDKASJKJ I LAUGHED IM SORRY
"but i do get to decide to be with someone who's ready to live this life with me. all of it" :( im. ok. im :( im. yeah.
this show is crazy because it's a comedy meanwhile it throws very serious situations and implications your way. funnily enough the cannibalism is not the most serious aspect of the show. to me at least. like thinking about how things were just 20-30 years ago etc etc :/ and what it means for both ben and paul :/ yeah i got it
nat telling jackie's eaten corpse that she's lucky <3 once again <3 comedy <3
"way to make everyone jealous one last time" NATALIEEEEEEEE
A MOOSE!
MY MOM TOLD ME ABOUT MOOSE! SHE SAID THAT MOOSE CAN AND WILL KILL PEOPLE ESPECIALLY MAMA MOOSE AND IF YOU END UP STARING DOWN A MOOSE BACK AWAY SLOWLY AND PICK ANOTHER PATH! IF A MOOSE STOPS YOU IN TRAFFIC YOU WAIT FOR THE MOOSE - moose trivia provided by my mother who says alaskan moose are the BIGGEST and DANGEROUS moose <3
(i like that trivia sorry)
WHERE DID THE MOOSE GO
WALTER AND MISTY THE DREAM TEAAAAAAAAAAM
TAISAAAAAAAAAAA ITS HAPPENING LETS FUCKING GO
"only when she lets me" "who is she?" "taissa" "then who are you?" [silence]
IM SCREECHING I THINK THAt they could have held that a few seconds long for effect bec thats SOOOOOOOOO crreepy and cool like its either taissa's subconscious/the suprressed taissa OR it's something trying to get her to open her eyes and herself I LOVE IT ITS SO FUCKING COOL
kevin in the backwards hat tho. sorry. but he. sorry. OSRRY.
"you have terrible intel" your daughter SNITCHED and you're making you and shauna look WORSE it's so funny
"people are so sweaty when you kill them" LET'S GO SHAUNA LET'S GOOOOOOOOO
that was fucking AWESOME that was LEGENDARY LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
THE SHAUNA UNDERNEATH THE GIRL WE GLIMPSED WHEN SHE KILLED ADAM SHAUNA FROM THE WOODS LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
coach hallucinating.... :(
i wont lie i love crystal and misty so much :')
OH MY GOD HER REFLECTION
SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME
"oh she's not my mother" THEY'RE MEANT TO BE BESTIES LET THEM BE BESTIES IN CRIME LET THEM COMMIT CRIMES TOGETHER LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO I WANT CHAOS AND FUN
"maybe i'm just a bored moriarty looking for his sherlock"
[CHOKING SOUNDS]
[SPUTTERING]
[SCREECHING]
technnically wouldn't SHE be moriarty because she commits crimes and stuff? oh well <3 its still fun <3
unless theyre BOTH moriarty? idk i cant remember jackshit about those characters anymore
let's go angry girls let's goooooo
HURT NATALIE BACK?
nosebleed leads to mass bird death...?
the forest is coming for lottie i think... i wonder if she isnt working in tandem off of it but proffiting off it it? or using it without delving down into the True Meat of it? and it killed her bees for it? idk idk idk but rip the bees
il veut de sang = he wants blood btw
(i looked it up)
so she HAS been denying it? or running from it? or??????
IT WAS A VISION? NICE!

June 2nd, 2024 - Arcaea, ProSeka, IIDX 31
continuing to do some PM cleanup/grinding: Jingle (ETR-9, MAX-15), HELLOHELL (ETR-9, MAX-27) and Shades of Light in a Transcendent Realm (FTR-8, MAX-12) as FTR/ETR PMs #66, #67, and #68 respectively!!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
during a quick break at work, re-AP'ed Non-breath oblige (MASTER 30) on EN in honor of its 3rd anniversary being today!!! hooray!!!
Tumblr media
and then after work, i knew Immediately what my plans were. remember yesterday when i failed all those attempts on 7th dan and went home all dejected? well, now with all my weekend homework complete for real this time and all the stress gone from my body (besides the exhaustion from my shift), i felt like i was ready to give it another go. i went to round 1 again, played my warm-up set, and damn RIGHT i was!!! AA-6 on Show (SPA-9), AA-ONE on winkle 2 winkle (SPH-9), a sightread AA-57 on Matt Silver (SPH-9), and then to prepare for the struggle i'd encounter in 7th dan, i tried and got a really good mirror score on Rowdy (SPA-10!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
hands were warmed up. safari mirror chart had been memorized. rowdy had been practiced. i had just eaten an entire bag of expired brownie bites from work. yup, it was Time. with a leap of faith... epolis 7th dan attempt... number FIVE!!!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
wait... what...? it... wasn't enough? i still couldn't clear it? no... but i could've sworn everything was in place to clear it... man . well, in all fairness, i didn't even try the safari once before clearing the dan where it'd be the last and hardest stage. surely i could at least do a little bit better than that... but again, i wasn't gonna get anywhere by throwing myself at 7th dan repeatedly and just praying for a clear. i needed to get stronger... with practice. back in i went to standard play, trying to A-clear THE SAFARI with mirror, and i guess i did...! wasn't a satisfying score by any means, but i had a slightly better idea of what the chart wanted me to do now. hey, i even A-cleared era (nostalmix) (SPA-9) while i was at it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
with that practice now and a little bit of hope that the earlier practice on Rowdy would carry over to this next attempt too (i didn't try it in the second standard play lol), i dove in one last time to see if my practice would pay off and just hoped for the best... whether i'd clear it or not is up to fate and me staying awake, but i believed in myself. i believed i could do this. epolis 7th dan attempt... number 6......
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
...oh? oh?! OH????? HOLY SHIT???? I ACTUALLY CLEARED IT???? I ACTUALLY CLEARED IT!!! I DID IT!!! I ESCAPED THE SAFARI!!!! I KILLED THE LION!!!! I GOT IT!!! I ACTUALLY GOT IT!!!!! EPOLIS 7TH DAN... GET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i cannot summarize in simple terms how much this completion means to me. to do it by itself is amazing and insane, both because this is one of the harder 7th dan courses thanks to rowdy and because so many people end up skipping 7th and jumping to 8th just because of this safari. but more important to me is the fact that i just... never believed i'd get anywhere near this level when i first started this game. i read all the safari memes, laughed along with them, and always imagined the safari as some unclearable beast that not even the best of the best could ever get past. not once did i stop and think i'd actually reach the level of these people... no, SURPASS the level of these people by proving it's possible and clearing it myself. safari is eternal, but entirely possible. i prove it now with this achievement, and i hope to only get better at it from here on out.
okay, back to scoreposting. while waiting for the bus and soaking in the significance of my clear, i tried 8th dan for shits and giggles and... actually got kinda far! even got past DENIM SPA-10 of all things... evil ass pattern
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
after that though, it was back home for reals this time. still so happy i got itttttt.... here's to some more gaming in the future!!!

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh boy let’s gooooooooooooooo
Well, we had to write down some definitions and one of them wasn’t on the practice sheet and it was Aneuploidie (aneuploidy) and I was like bruh wtf I have NO idea what that is, so I looked like that
Tumblr media
But then I remembered that I understand a lil bit of Greek cuz I’ve been taking a Greek class and that I WON’T give up cuz I’m a FIGHTER RAHHHHH
Tumblr media
So then I was like OKOK ἀν should be a negation and εὖ means good and I know -ploidie from haploid or diploid, so it has something to do with the chromosome number.
Tumblr media
So with my super duper big brain I’m like oh well this has something to do with an abnormal number of chromosomes because not-good-chromosome-number is basically what it says. At the end, I wrote it down and I was super insecure about it but when the exam was over, I looked it up.
Tumblr media
So well yeah a lot of people told me taking Greek is boring or useless and WHO IS LAUGHING NOW BAHAHAHHAHAA
Tumblr media
Cannot believe that my Greek skillz™ saved my ass in a genetics exam today

"Hector, come with me."
Mathias extended his hand towards his knight, frozen in surprise by his sudden request. Only the rustling of the dead leaves could be heard in the courtyard, but Mathias waited with all the patience that was necessary.
"Lord Cronqvist... You can't mean..."
"But I do. When the Count finds a way to send me back home... I ask you to join me."
A soft gasp escaped Hector's lips.
Perhaps he had expected him to propose to run away from the castle, like an eloping couple. Mathias had considered it, in the past days. But he was no fool: of the many, displeasurable things he had learned ever since he had been brought into the far future, the worst and most important one was that Count Dracula made fire and brimstone rain from the sky when something took his possessions away from him.
Only seeking refuge in another world would protect both of them from the monster's ire.
Hector, poor eyewitness and victim of said ire, still hesitated to respond, his gaze darting back and forth. Mathias held onto the thought that the knight was not rejecting him in full, ignoring what his racing heart was screaming at him.
"I understand your apprehension. To be flung in a different century, so far in time as to almost be a different world... It's disorienting. Nothing will be the same." He shook his head. "But surely it would be better than this life you're living."
Hector's fingers flew to hide the ugly purple bruise on his neck, hardly concealed by his uniform. His Lord was growing more shameless by the day - and it did not escape Mathias' notice how the vampire's nostrils flared like a hound's every time Hector approached him, and how he'd shoot a deadly glare at the younger Lord that nearly soured the sweet taste of Hector's lips on his.
Mathias had a tendency to keep his loved ones close to him, that was for certain, but it disheartened him to learn how petty he'd become in the future.
He no longer had the words to express the sickness that took his stomach when Hector returned to his quarters, pale as the undead creatures that roamed in the castle and with eyes just as devoid of life. There was only so much his embrace could do to soothe the shivering man.
They were both prisoners in that cursed castle, at the mercy of the Devil. But Mathias did not have the heart to seek freedom for himself, leaving the man that had captivated his soul behind.
A good Lord would do anything to protect his most important knights, and it was high time Hector learned it.
"I... It would be betrayal," the man finally whispered, in that tone typical of children terrified that their parents might overhear.
"Betrayal of what?" Mathias snapped. "Of a mindless slaughter of your own kind? Of a monster who only sees you as a meal to satiate his filthy appetite with? Do you truly want to place your loyalty in the claws of a creature who doesn't even deserve to gaze upon you?"
The Count's icy, cruel voice resounded in his head, cackling and wicked, that Mathias was not the one who saved the boy's life and thus had no right to claim him as his. What could he hope to achieve, after only a handful of months, while the vampire had years of time to shape Hector to his leisure and fill his mind with despicable lies, such as that he loved him?
But he could hope that he had done a good job as showing Hector what love truly was. The way the knight was balling his fists, instead of rebuking more, comforted him.
"Hector, please. You're too precious to waste yourself in a place like this. And you know it." Mathias refused to hold back: he approached Hector and put a hand on his shoulder, on the armor that marked him as one of Count Dracula's Generals. "You're one of the bravest, most noble men I've had the honor of meeting."
"Even if I'm a sinner rejected by your own God?" Hector asked with a wry smile, that Mathias reciprocated in full.
"Especially because you're a sinner, dear."
Count Dracula may have done his best to ensnare Hector's body and soul, but Mathias highly doubted that he had ever seen him with such warmth in his icy eyes, a deep sentiment that surpassed the mere loyalty of a knight. That sight was for Mathias and Mathias alone, and he nearly swelled with pride.
Hector's fingers brushed against Mathias' hand on his side. But still, he did not grasp it.
"Lord Cronqvist," he sighed, "you're asking me to live with humans. I can't do that. I do not belong with them, no matter in what time and place. I'm not a mere sinner: I'm a cursed being."
Mathias suffocated the wave of fury inside his chest. He wished he had crosses and holy water with him, to reduce the vile Count to ashes for what he had done to such a pure man, for the shackles he had put on his mind.
"I'm not. I'm asking you to live with me, my Hector."
The most he was able to do was to offer Hector the key to escape his prison.
The rustling of dead leaves was deafening, now. Hector looked at him, through him, eyes no longer warm but whet with sharp determination. Then, he took Mathias' hand with his ungloved, callused one, and placed his lips on its back, and took the key.
"Very well... my Lord."
