wait omg i’m curious about your unpopular thoughts about temenos writing wise.. i love when people discuss octopath writing it’s really enriching to see what we all have to say about certain story elements. plus you’re like a temenos representative to me. your thoughts about temenos make me go “so true!”

Aw, thank you! It took a while for me to decide on what to write here, since honestly I could go on for… frankly any aspect of this guy, especially in regards to treatment in fanon. But for now, I'll focus on my thoughts regarding how people treat tragedy in Temenos' story— namely, Crick's death— and why I personally dislike it as a writing decision and why I disagree with the idea that it is necessary.

Note: Goes without saying, but this is my personal opinion. If you believe otherwise, then that's all good. I'm not writing this to say that any one person is wrong, just to talk about an issue I have with the game's writing itself.

To start, I'll say that my main reason for disliking Crick's death in SH route is a matter of practicality. Killing him off causes Temenos to lose the main person that he had a fantastic relationship and banter with, and in my opinion, Temenos works best when he's bouncing off another person; not unlike most under the Sherlock-archetype.

Also, genuinely? It works wonders to keep Crick alive, if just because it provides a fantastic avenue to explore Temenos' institutional trauma. Having a character that's lived a different experience but within the same harmful institution opens up ways to explore the scope of its harm. And yes, this is for Crick specifically; not Ort, not the travelers, but Crick.

I think it really adds something that Temenos was raised by the church while Crick converted as a teenager during a really difficult time in his life. These two are good for each other. Crick sure as hell makes it a lot easier to write Temenos in fic.

(If you have a different experience, again, that's cool. I'm glad for you. I, however, will never fail to take the easy way out.)

(This is a lie, I'm over here making up fantasy church law for fic stuff but that's not related to this answer.)

I won't pretend that disliking Crick's death is an unpopular opinion. I mean, "Stormhail Fix-it" is an entire genre of fic on the OT2 Ao3 tag. What I do feel tends to go unaddressed though, is the fact that the idea that Crick's death is canon, therefore it is necessary, therefore it is the best decision; an idea that I wholeheartedly disagree with.

Within the text itself, Crick is killed off in order to give Temenos a personal reason to pursue Kaldena, thus putting him at odds with Kaldena's motivations being driven by her ideology and worldview that, "because humans committed the massacre, it was the gods' mistake to put us here". I also won't pretend that Kaldena's writing here isn't fucking awful, because Crick's death is also a device to make the player want Kaldena defeated even though she is just as much as a victim of the church; and that's to say nothing of her portrayal as an indigenous and dark-skinned woman.

These decisions are ones I disagree with. Killing Crick off was unnecessary to give Temenos reason to pursue the culprit, because Temenos already had someone close to him killed; and that's Pontiff Jörg. He raised Temenos from infancy, but due to the lack of focus on him outside of banter conversations, it's never relevant to his motivations outside of the desire for truth because a crime was committed. 

We also didn't need to kill Crick off to show that the church was a terrible institution, because Roi already went missing in action. The Sacred Guard is the main body of law within Eastern Solistia, it's not unreasonable to think that the reason why Temenos dislikes them is because they clearly didn't do shit to investigate his disappearance.

However, one thing I really don't agree with is the idea that Crick's death is necessary because Temenos' story is a tragedy. And if you asked me why, I'd ask this in turn: why is death the only form of tragedy? Furthermore, why must a tragedy contain only tragic events? That in mind, what gives anything value in a tragedy, then?

Pretend we cannot completely rewrite Temenos' story. Even then, changing Crick's death to a permanent injury, a coma, or whatever is still a tragic event; and that's nothing to say of living with the consequences. Isn't losing your faith a tragedy? Isn't losing something you worked for years to do a tragedy?

Similarly, I'd still argue that it's more valuable to make Stormhail a near-death experience because not only does it show Temenos succeeding in making someone question the church but also the terror that is feeling like you're doomed to repeat tragedy. Even if you really aren't, it's hard to dismiss that feeling; especially when it has to do with being victimized by institutions.

And before someone says, "but bad things happen to good people in real life", I'm not treating these characters as living, breathing people who are subject to things like gravity, hunger, and exhaustion. I'm treating them as choices, and choices made that I disagree with. 

It's why I make different choices. I choose to make Crick have to deal with chronic pain onwards. I choose to make Temenos realize change is still possible. I choose to let them both leave Stormhail alive. Are these better choices? I don't know. But I'll never stop questioning the ones made by the writers regardless; much less stop disagreeing with them.

So, in summary: I dislike Crick's death. I dislike Temenos having to spend the rest of the story without someone he can talk to so easily because Crick's absence weakens a lot of his scenes in Temenos 4. But more than that, I dislike the idea that tragedy is necessary on top of the idea that it is superior. Tragedy's good, I adore the genre; but written in mindful doses and all that.

may i ask why red moon is your favourite will wood song? :O (/gen i like hearing people talk about things they like + i am genuinely interested)

eeeee ty for asking!! i love thinking about this song.

one of my favorite things about will wood is that he’s a WONDERFUL lyricist and i think that red moon is one of the strongest examples of it. there is such a specific imagery there that he describes very well and very vividly.

this verse in particular really stands out to me. the song as a whole is just really poetic.

something that makes the song even more standout is the fact that this imagery is enhanced by the instrumentals as well. this is where i start going of the rails a lil bit and it’s more difficult to conceptualize but i think that once it clicks,, it clicks. but the instrumentals remind me a lot of tides/waves? the way that it switches between this very strong- almost rolling- sound and a much smoother/soothing sound? i don’t know how much that makes sense because i don’t have the vocabulary to describe it right now but. it’s there to ME. and that just makes this song a really good example of his composition skills as well? which is another thing he does that never fails to amaze me.

i think it’s genuinely one of his best works, and because it doesn’t fall into the like,, “spooky jazz” genre that people have decided his music is (despite the fact that that descriptor really only encapsulates one. of his albums. but i digress) it often gets overlooked. and this feels like the case for a lot of other songs that i think are his best. and that isn’t to say that his more well known/popular songs aren’t worthy of praise!! or that they aren’t as good! there isn’t a single will wood song that i don’t like. i just find it BIZARRE that so many of his songs end up being so under appreciated.

but yeah :3 that’s why red moon is my favorite will wood song.

lmaooo i guess it's time for my semi-annual admission that wolfstar isn't really my cup of tea. i've read some incredible fics, people make incredible art, and it's not like i don't see where people are coming from (i get it i've seen all the arguments i know i know)

hi hello! i am once again having thoughts about the most normal roommates!

specifically, the bit in your reply about felps having to learn to navigate social situations with cellbit around others because it’s just. this has such funny potential.

like, them at the grocery store? cell is Overwhelmed. he got assigned to pushing the cart and felps is just trying to get the groceries as quickly as he can. they pull up to checkout and felps tries to put himself between cell and the cashier’s line of sight. he knows cell is fiddling with the knife in his pocket and he has to smile like this is fine :) don’t mind my friend we’re all normal here can we take our groceries please :)

(praying that the knife Does Not come out and they can leave in peace and why did he let this situation happen??)

they run into someone that felps knows from work and he’s just uh hey this is my roommate. he’s shy. (trying to sidle past as quickly as possible) cell will Not shake hands and felps narrowly avoids disaster by pulling him along. (he himself nearly loses a limb for it but! they’re friends and friends don’t do that. such normal friends.)

yes cell is trying not to actively murder people. at first so that he doesn’t get caught, and later for felps/growing morals reasons, but he really doesn’t know how to person and social interaction is just overwhelming.

he’s just. it’s like felps has been adopted by a feral cat who is /only/ civil to him and Will maul anyone else given provocation.

and now he has to gingerly socialize cellbit and i think it’s very fun to think about. their situation is so funny

saga!! o/ belobed rabbit!! so sorry for taking 547839 years to answer your ask, i saw it and meant to reply but then got distracted and got distracted and got distracted and binged some osnf and went to bed. twice. trust me i have been thinking abt this it's been in my brain.

ANYWAY. yes it does have funny potential!! they're trying to pass as normal so goddamn hard but one of them hasn't known normal in years and has a general "i'll just keep my head down and do my thing and try to maneuver my way through life" response to tough situations and the other has never known normal and has a general "i'll stab / snap at anything that even tries to threaten me"(<-thinks everything is a potential threat) response to tough situations.

also that situation of Felps running into someone he knows from work is right on the nose. like that's pretty much exactly how i imagine it. (how did you get in my brain whhat are you doing in there.) Cell will not shake hands because his hands are stuffed in his hoodie pockets thumbing at his emotional-support knife while eyeing the person up. and Felps is trying to end the interaction as soon as possible without being too awkward because he likes this person and wants them to like him too (he's a bit short on friends atm) but he also know Cell's got a social battery that's in the floor and is basically a ticking time bomb so sorry we're in a rush we uhhhhh left the stove on bye have a good night see you at work tomorrow!!

it can also lead to the angst of both of them being stressed. like i said, Cell's social battery is in the floor, and he treats every situation with people who are not-Felps like it could very easily end in a fight, which is exhausting for him, even if he doesn't realize it. and Felps having to constantly navigate these situations and do the Social Thing for two people on a semi-regular basis and there is always the small possibility Cell has an outburst and he takes the brunt of it and god he kind of just wants things to be normal again, whatever that means. and so they grate on each other! and they argue and shout and say things they don't mean and say things they do mean but shouldn't have said anyway. oftentimes Cell will storm out, grabbing his backpack (he always keeps it ready to go, even when he starts staying at Felps’ place for longer stretches) and marching out the door. on a couple rare occasions where it gets really bad, Felps is the one who storms out, leaving a bewildered Cell standing alone in the apartment.

even worse, maybe one time Felps is at his limit and just shouts at Cell to leave, just leave, get the hell out of my apartment, and Cell is so caught off-guard by this that he. he does. he doesn't even think to grab his backpack, he just goes. and after they've both cooled off and their heads have cleared, Felps finds he’s hating himself for it and Cell finds that he’s hurt by it. which is. certainly a development for both of them. because if Felps from a year ago had managed to scare off Cell that badly, he would've relished in it, said good riddance. and Cell from a year ago wouldn't have given a fuck and been happy to cut his losses (or cut Felps) and get the hell out of there. in reality, what ends up happening is that Felps grabs his shoes and goes out looking for him and Cell sits town on a park bench nearby and doesn't get very far at all.

Cell always winds up back at the apartment, one way or another. this is just the first time Felps has gone out of his way to bring him back in, because he wants him there; and this is the first time Cell has been relieved to be invited in, because he wants to be wanted. and god. isn't that a thought.

[lanternlightss]

a fake title... "sleepless nights and daydreams" ?? that sounds poetic, yeah ??

THAT SOUNDS SO COOL !!!

for some reason thinking about rosaria specifically for sleepless nights but also !! hm. amos staying awake and daydreaming about what could be…. perhaps………

percy in the lightning thief maybe……. wondering about his mom….. oooo or maybe a continuation of the au thing where sally accidentally gets eebie deebied??

indecisive </3. let’s see…. something along the lines of these?

(once again under the cut because !!! they got a little long, ehe…)

The tile is frighteningly cold, even with the boots on. Still, she trudges forward, pulling the hood of her cloak down further.

These nights are always the coldest—when He refuses to listen.

Everyone in the city is getting antsy, is getting reckless (she thinks not of the bard who has a rather unfortunate track record with jail, who continues to greet her with a startled, “Ah, Miss Amos! I promise I was trying to stay out of trouble!”)

She refuses to entertain the smile tugging at her lips. Looking out the arched window, it falls on its own accord.

He is…. trying different measures. He did not listen to her pleads to lessen the winds, as the crops are beginning to wilt, and the trades are beginning to falter.

No one wants to come near a whirling wall of wind. Yet He does not listen. So desperate to keep them all safe, to keep them from everyone and everything, that he has begun to tighten the bolts to their cage.

Amos sighs, a little frustrated, a little aggravated.

Walking up to the window, she lays a gentle hand against the still, and leans against one side. A particular biting breeze decides to cut past her, then.

How…. ugh, lovely.

She cannot help the crestfallen look that crosses her face. If… if only—

(Amos dares not to hope, but.)

If only things were different. If she could convince Decarabian to see her way, to see the people’s. They are slowly dying.

If… if she could convince him to bring down the walls. If she could convince him to step from that throne of his, to see the world as mortals do. If she could….

If she could see the ocean…. with them all.

See, this afternoon, she was talking with the bard, and the warrior. They had told her the reasons of wanting out of this city.

The bard, to see the skies and birds.

The warrior…. he had not given his reasons, truly, but the wistful look in his eyes as the bard talked…..

Perhaps he had wished to be able to travel again. He had once said he was something of a wanderer before.

And she… she, Amos, one of the best archers there ever was….

She had wanted to see the ocean, the forests. To see the waves as they gently crashed against the glittering sand of the beach! To see greenery of all kinds spread around her, of bushes and flowers and trees of all kinds!

She kept this to herself, but she wanted to see it all with them, too.

To see the bard play around and splash in the water, spraying the warrior. To see the knight stand off to the side, quietly laughing as the two of them chase the other around. To see the wisp distract the warrior by blowing his hair this way and that….

To even see… perhaps, Decarabian with them all, too. A distance away, she is not sure how the others would respond to him, but there all the same. Awkward and trying and telling her—

A shudder wracks through her body. She pulls the hood, and cloak, closer around her in an attempt to stave off any more cold.

Amos will admit to a bit of grumbling. (She will not admit to nearly shouting a curse to the heavens.)

Quite a cruel reminder, no?

—

No matter what, Percy can never quite get adjusted to the feeling of sand. Sure, it’s fun, and he’ll admit, even a little cool, but then it just gets everywhere and—

He groans, hopping on one foot to try and grab his shoe. Not again.

It’s popped right back on after a moment of shaking and shaking, and wincing at all the sand that falls out, but he’s right back to where he was—that is, he has no idea where he’s going.

Okay, a vague one. Percy wants to be at the beach, it’s… comforting. Especially now.

So the beach he goes!

He can’t find a place to sit down.

Maybe…. close to the water? That way, if anything tries to sneak up on him…. okay, yeah, mind made up.

Scanning the beach, he spots the perfect place—it even has a rock that he can put his shoes on, yes—and begins to jog right over.

Then, when he gets to it, with all the fanfare he can manage (which is to say, absolutely none), he flops right down onto the sand.

Not a good idea, by the way.

Yeah, you know how he was talking about sand getting everywhere?

He spits up sand. Gapes and frantically tries to get any out of his hair (he just took a shower, come on, dude. Spare him!) Eventually decides that tonight will be a double shower night, and goes back to laying sprawled out on the beach.

Admittedly…. he’s really tired. And the gentle sounds of the waves very nearly lull him to sleep.

So he pries those eyelids back open and stares into the sky.

It does remind him, though, of something his mom used to do—and, ah, does that remind him of why he came out here! His heart twists a little, and he reaches up to lay a hand over his chest.

Still….

When he was a kid, she used to put on this playlist—something called “Ocean Sounds To Sleep To, Ten Hours Long”?

It worked wonders, no surprise there. But he thinks that her singing might have helped, too.

His mom had an amazing voice. She did! And that’s not even his bias showing! (Okay, maybe a little.)

She always sung (sings, she always sings) so gently and…. melodically. It’s wonderful to listen to. Percy is more than grateful he got to hear it so many times.

Again, his heart sinks, and twists, and his face scowls.

He’ll hear it again.

He will, this is a promise he’s making. He will not let the Gods keep her, and he will not let them take her ever again.

Once this whole—thing is over with, he can go home to his mom, Smelly Gabe won’t be there, and….

She’ll hug him. And hold him. And won’t let go.

And he’ll hug her back. And hold her. And refuse to let go.

And she’ll sing, but there won’t be any waves to accompany it, but that’s okay because she has an amazing voice and—

Percy rubs at his eyes.

She’ll sing that one lullaby he liked, about that one hero who always got a happy ending. He had a name like Percy’s.

She sung it to him a lot, and he thought it was a little corny at first (really, he got the meaning behind it really early. He also did cry over his mom wishing he got a happy ending as well, even if he was a little confused.)

And it’ll be great.

No gods, no weird quest, no Gabe.

Just them.

He settles back into the sand. The stars twinkle, and waves continue to fall back and crash, gentle in their movements. As if they wish to preserve this moment of peace. (Silently, he’s a little thankful.)

Percy stares at the sky a little longer, trying to see if he could make out a constellation. Then, sighing and shrugging, he closes his eyes, and listens to the ocean, the sky, the land.

It’s good. It’s…. nice.

Well, that is, until wave crashes over him.

Percy will gladly and readily admit that he loudly called his dad a bastard for putting a fish in his mouth.

[forecast0ctopus]

i take ISSUE with the chicken reference in bttf2. they treat it as this important moral centre that marty has, but in the first movie it’s NEVER established that he has some sort of grave hatred of being called chicken, but they try to make it SEEM like a well-established fact. only part of the films I actively dislike. why’d they add that huh. why. so strange.

ive thought abt that before too and i think the main thing is that the second two films were made five years after the first lmao BUT i will say i dont think its contradictory to his character as established in the first film? moments his pride is called into question (like with strickland and such) he really pushes back against which is somewhat along the same lines? the exact scenario of being made out to be a coward never really comes up though 🤔 all to say no i definitely dont think any of that plotline was in mind when the first film was made, but i dont think that its necessarily bad? since it doesnt really strike me as out of character the REAL discrepancy is why marty's hair is so much longer in the second two films despite taking place immediately after the first (this is a joke) (kind of)

[matamisin]

Ellow, new here. Just saw the character question thing so 6, 10 and 14 👀

Hi hi welcome!!! :D Thank you sm for this ask!!! <3 <3

6: Does your character have recurring themes in their dreams?

For Leilani, not quite! She's very scatter-brained, so her dreams are often like that too lol! Frequently her dreams are vivid, but very random and make not a lot of sense to her when/if she remembers them. Like, she'll be watering her crops after getting up, and suddenly remember a dream and be like "wh- what?? I remember I was eating cereal (god I haven't had that cereal in SO LONG) and I looked down and there was a really weird looking fish swimming around in it and then I tried to get it out but when I looked back down I was back in school?!? And I forgot to wear socks!! I NEED socks though but then-" and she'll keep snowballing down as more comes back to her but her poor crops are just drowning because she got lost in thought mid-water LMFAOO

10: Does your character feel more comfortable with more clothing, or with less clothing?

For a while, more clothing! This is because of self-image issues that developed in a lot of her growing up and the toxic environment in corporate Joja :( It also didn't help that the area she lived before moving to Stardew Valley had weather that was pretty mid (no severe heat or cold through the seasons). So when she has her first summer in Stardew, she basically just *cue Family Guy death pose* in the town while she was running around getting chores done ^v^''

So a worried Alex sees this happen while working the ice cream booth and he carries her into some shade and uses some ice to help cool her down. Harvey arrives a few minutes later after getting a panicked call from Alex, and when she's feeling better Alex lightly scolds Leilani like "girl why the HELL are you wearing a jacket in 100F????" but honest to Yoba she's never even experienced anything above 85F and thought the weather channel was just exaggerating and that it wouldn't be that bad ala;ksdjf;laksdj

As she spends more time in the valley, she'll grow to be more comfortable in herself and actually start to find that she likes to wear a little less clothes cause it's so free and unrestricting :D

14: Does your character remember names or faces easier?

Oh definitely faces!! In fact as she's meeting everyone so quickly she can't remember names for to save her life LMFAO but she's way too embarrassed to ask again because they remember hers. So what does she do about it? She goes as long as she can to NOT use names in conversation lol, and for a while nobody really noticed

It only really came out when the bachelors and bachelorettes planned a get-together at the saloon one night and Leilani gets a little tipsy (she is indeed a lightweight haha) and she keeps calling people by almost-right-but-not-quite-right names. And literally the others are tilting their heads at her like "huh??? what did you just call me??" but they all start to get a real good laugh out of the situation as, one by one, they start to realize that she genuinely doesn't know their names

The words spreads to outside the bachelor(ette)s group and a lot of people are playfully teasing her because it's the first thing that's really made her super flustered. They won't tell her their right names either for a while just to keep the joke running aslk;fjalksd

Of course she'll learn everyone's names eventually, but the wrong names still come out from time to time whenever she's tipsy or on some pretty strong painkillers, or something like that LMAO

[masonscig]

Hiii! 3, 5 and 14 for Nate and Ramona pls? ☺️

HIII TY FOR THE ASK SOSO <3

[couple questions]

3. what's their favorite thing to tease each other about?

oooh this is a good one !! ramona is rarely ever serious about anything, so she's always teasing nate about something – mainly because she wants to help alleviate his worry. he's constantly concerned everything and everyone, and he feels things so deeply that she doesn't deem serious. not that she's trying to diminish his feelings or anything, she just hates that he cares so much when it takes a massive mental toll on him! she wants to lighten the mood and make him feel better anytime he's down !!

her favorite thing to do when he frowns is trace the crease between his brows and say something like "careful, you might wrinkle" along with calling him a grandpa (lovingly) when he can't work appliances and a nerd (lovingly) all the time !! <333

nate didn't like teasing ramona much at first, but the more comfy he's gotten with her, he's open to lightly poking fun at their differences hehe like when she turns on girly pop music or bad bitch anthems in the car on full blast, or when she forces him to go to the mall with her for hours on end and subjects him to her eclectic style in the form of fashion shows right outside of the dressing room – or the fact that she can't go in a flea market or thrift store or mall or anywhere without spending more money than she has

5. how do they sleep?

RAMONA BIG SPOON RAMONA BIG SPOON !!!!!!!! ramona's always been the kind to flail around in her sleep and kick the sheets off (and kick whoever's in bed with her) – but something about curling herself around her big tall man has tamed the beast! when he's not in bed with her, she's back to flailing LMAO

14. what little things remind them of each other?

so once they're actually together, they are a cringe couple. just so cringely in love that they are ALWAYS doing corny stuff so they can think about each other throughout the day. for their anniversary one year, ramona got them matching keychains with each others' photo on it. ramona made homemade coasters with pictures of them on it. she always leaves him notes in his jacket pockets with doodled hearts and a lipstick mark. slowly the decor of their home has become a shrine of their relationship so there's no way they need the little reminders tbh!

but if i had to give a real answer, i think nate's lightened up a lot from being with ramona, so anytime he lets something roll off his shoulders, he thinks of her. and anytime ramona meets a new stranger, she tries hard to commit their names to memory, be kind to them, and leave the interaction with a little memory to carry with her (which she never did before) – just like she's seen nate do! and afterwards ramona thinks of how much their relationship has changed her for good :)
