#PAY FOR MY THERAPY

[thecatmomm]

My journey reading The Poppy War :

1. Get fed up of reading romantasy.

2. Decide to read something mOrE sErIoUs.

3. Decide to read a certain book that people say it's really good.

4. Start reading the Poppy War.

5. Get invested in the story and its characters.

6. Get attached to Nezha, Altan, kitay and Rin

7. Reach chapter 21 and realize that this book story is based on Nanking and unit 731.

8. Realize that a story like that can't have a good ending.

9. Dread reading the rest because your fave character Altan is most likely about to die at the same place he was tortured as a a child.

I have been CHILLING this week post-Vengeance saga release! I managed to avoid debilitating stress and anxiety from the onslaught of fan stuff by simply avoiding all social media for the first two days, so it's been good!

However, I am now BACK, dumping my immediate reaction of the saga from a week ago. I thought I was ready. I was not ready. 600 Strike blew my mind. I was left staring blankly at my ceiling. Jorge please rest sometime, I'm begging you. The amount of talent beaming through my screen is exhausting even me.

Also, to every cast member and collaborator and behind the scenes person: y'all are amazing. Like seriously. I hope you all get a yummy drink and a cozy blanket and just. Bask in the satisfaction of a job well done. Hats off to y'all fr.

Anyways! I keysmashed the following at around midnight, 14 hours before the livestream ('cause australia is the superior timezone /j). Be warned there's LOTS of swearing 'cause sleep deprivation + incoherent excitement lol

AHHH IT'S GO TIME

Ok it's starting the same as the Goodspeed festival showed. Tho, the first lead in sound thing reminds me of Lucids.

Gorgeous vocals. Hate Calypso, love Wangui fr

"Let me speak!" She really doesn't care about his feelings huh. I noticed in LIP as well, she always makes it about her, which is absolutely in character.

Those ensemble harmonies tho!!

"... You do?" Girl you literally told him to lie smh

"Why in the world won't you love me too?" 'Cause he has a WIFE

IT'S HERMES TIME

FSA melody? YO??

"Cause I had one goal in mind..." the silence where the crew's chorus would come in is PAINFUL

BAG?? HERMES!!

"Hello old friend!" Grinning so hard rn

"Well it's a little bit ✨dangerous✨" AHHH IT'S HAPPENING

Fingertapping and headbopping to this chorus

"Put your whole braiin in it!" I love how he says that sm

"And lastly the wind bag" NEW STUFF

WINIONS

Wow ok I did not expect the wind bag to show up again. Tho it makes sense; this is probs the storm that Ody told Sirenelope kept blocking the way home

ODY SINGING THE CHORUS!!!!

RUTHLESSNESS MENTION

"Hermes! Thank you" AHHH THE CALLBACK! He sounds so tired and like down to his bones grateful this time 🥺

"I'm not the one who fought for you!" MY EYES WIDENED SO FAR. WE ALMOST GOT AN ATHENA NAMEDROP. I'll settle for the reference to her

Okeee. Charybdis!!

Oooh it's just like in the reference vid. No lyrics for this start part!

The 5/4 is amazing. And the electric guitar!!

God this song is SO BADASS

LETS GOOOO ODY!!!

ahhh I KNEW there'd be some sort of soft KYFC esque "I can't wait to make some new memories" type verse AND I WAS RIGHT

he sees ithaca!! Oh god poseidon's gonna show up isn't he

my heart's beating so fast i'm scared

PENELOPEEE

the ELECTRONIC DISTORTION OH NO IT'S HIM

RIGHT INTO GET IN THE WATER AHHH

"Coward" AHHHH I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE FINALY HEARING THIS FOR REAL

"That's when our paths collide!" THE RASP

"Now get in the water" Oh shiiiit here we go

the choir is so eerie

"GET IN THE WATER" THE GROWL

"aren't you tired poseidon" ooh it's this part!!

ha he changed it to ten years instead of eight like the demo had XD

"maybe you can learn to forgive" the line from that one snippet!

"No" oop

"DIE" DAMN that deep echo!!

*underwater sounds* oh shit ody's fucking dying

NO! FUCKING POLITES

EURY

ANTICLEA

FUCK YOU JORGE

THE CREW

WAITING??? EXCUSE ME WTF

AHHHHHH WHY TF DOES JAY LOVE HURTING US SO

HUH? HUH??? WHAT WAS THAT! AND THERE'S A FUCKING AD. Probs good, I need the break but WAHT. I KNEW he'd do another fucking polites reference gods damnit jorge WHEN I CATCH YOU

Ok time to hear 600 strike. Holy shit we're here

ELECTRIC GUITAR LETS GOOO

Aeolus theme. IS HE GONNA OPEN THE WIND BAG AGAIN??

600 MEN MOTIF HOLY SHIT

ANIME SCREAM

HOly shit there's magic sounds happening. I'm really curious about whatever Jorge's cooking up for the animatic in the livestream, 'cause I have no clue what's happening rn 👀

"For every comrade!" FSA melody!

"all those _ who were slaughtered by your hand" hmm I can't quite hear what he's saying there?

wait wait wait he's ACTUALLY using the power of his 600 men!!

"You idiot" damn lol

DIFFERENT BEAST ODY HOLY SHIT

is that a blade sound effect?

WAIT DID HE JUST STAB HIM WITH HIS OWN TRIDENT

HOLY SHIT ODY

HOLY FUCK

POP OFF ODY

OMG "MONSTER" AND THEN "RUTHLESSNESS"

BRO HE'S BEGGING??

*trident drops* hot damn ody

"Next to my wife." OHHHHHHH MIC DROP

Holy FUCK that was crazy

I'm gonna listen to it again.

Ok but holy shit Odysseus literally just tortured a god until he gave in?? Daym ody

Tho I like how he tries using open arms first, and then ruthlessness. He's kinda found a balance? I say kinda, 'cause he went hard on the ruthlessness, but since he sincerely tried to ask Poseidon to just drop the whole thing already, his later actions in 600 Strike feel more warranted.

I honestly don't know how Jorge keeps doing it. He just keeps topping himself! Like! Thunder Bringer? And then God Games?? And now Six Hundred Strike??? They just keep getting better! Banger after banger, like!! How.

Wait I just wanna. Sit with it. Imma lie down and stare at the ceiling for a bit, aight?

... I am shooketh.

But BRO THAT WAS INSANE! ODY FUCKED HIM UPPP

AMAZING BRAVO EXTRODINARY INCREDIBLE SHOWSTOPPING GORGEOUS WONDERFUL HOW DARE YOU

[ugly-an]

Do I deserve some attention?

[ataurusinabookshop]

I primarily make book posts on here but I gotta say it:

That last 1:20 minutes of Paradise Love from the Wisdom saga HAD ME IN SHAMBLES

[telleroftime]

Can you SatoSugu fans just for one damned second-

"Love is the most twisted curse of them all" // "At least curse me a little at the very end"

TALK QUIETER!

Stranger Things 5 spoiler!

So we can definitely hear a voice screaming for Steve to run. Question is, who's voice is it? I can identify 2 voices, either it is Will's either it is Dustin's.

Dustin's voice could be possible because he's close to Steve and also because the last word "RUN!!!" with this voice reminds me a lot of Gaten's. And Dustin screams a lot. And he has a sharp voice, so it is probably him.

It could also be Will's voice, even though it isn't too similar. Maybe it's because they filmed too far away, but it could be his. But it might be a little weird since Will and Steve never really interacted together. But this season might change it all, who knows? Maybe, since Steve knows about Robin being Queer, maybe he and Will are going to be closer to each other and he could realize that he is Queer too.

Also, if Jonathan dies like I said in my theories, it'd make more sense since Jonathan is for now the only one that knows about his brother's sexuality.

Or maybe, we will finally have the Stonathan duo! I really wish they can be good friends. So it could be also Jonathan's voice, even though it looks more like Dustin's

In the second recording we can hear a director ask for Vecna, probably, to grab someone's throat. Either it is Steve's or someone else's. But this time, the "RUN!!" doesn't look like Dustin's voice, it's more Jonathan's. It's all ambiguous but the only thing I hope isn't going to happen is Steve's death.

By the way, Joe Keery said that "Good things are going to happen to Steve", did my man lied? Or is that part of the good things ;-;

[brekkie-e]

Who the fuck at Bioware approved this? Hmm? I want names.

okay so the minimal screen time for night, being in a frame with everyone else, always the one who is left behind,... all those were this deliberate🙂 he was always this back ground character (ofc not for me. HE'S LITERALLY MARK PAKIN) now it all makes sense. the deliberate portrayal of how a glass child is treated and it did hit so hard
