Is your face ok? Flying cats and phones hurt

yeah I'm fine, the noise was mostly because she managed to get me in the mouth and also I was wearing a tank top, so lots of claw-to-skin contact.

No bloodshed. This time.

Also, you know how when you meet a person who has the same name as you and you immediately have to mentally determine which of you would win in a fight to the death, either physically or psychologically? For the first time in my life I met a potentially Superior Hell. This was a couple weeks ago now, and Potentially Superior Hell has sent tribute in the form of several entire cowhides, which I assume is so that we can be friends forever instead of eternal nemeses. Either would be lovely, honestly.

I think I'm gonna need to take some of that leather and work on making some kind of shoulder armor so Malice doesn't maul my left arm entirely off. Her balance is not always to be trusted.

my s class hunters does a really good job at gradually raising the stakes without feeling like a pointless power creep and keeping me extremely invested and i keep saying this but I really do think it's bc it's a story grounded in love at every turn... the bond between the han brothers especially is extremely compelling and beautiful and makes me feel like a knife is being stabbed into my heart and twisted all around... i love them so so much 😞💔❤️‍🩹❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I love that Dooku raised Rael and Qui-Gon back to back and then after Qui-Gon became a knight Dooku had to take like a 30 year break before deciding to raise Komari.

...Nimardril shakes her head at Fjalar’s comments, her gaze dropping in shame. “You both do not need me to hunt. I saw you bring down that grodbog, and I know you could do the same to larger things, and… Well of course you both survived long before I knew you!”Nimardril locks eyes with Fjalar. “Please make sure he eats other than bark and roots. He forgets.” She finds it hard to look at Daerhovan. “Um. Thank you for everything....”

...Daerhovan tells himself he's selfish to wish one would travel by his side for a long time. But he was thankful, so thankful to have this elleth by his side for awhile at least. It had been fun, freeing, to wander Rhovanion with her. He doesn't know how to put it in words, for they've never been his forte. Instead he clutches Nimardril tigher to his body, if she'd let him, hoping he can convey to her his thanks through his actions than words....

...Ilost watches the scene before him, startled by both Nimardril's kind words and embrace. He feels like stone, all warmth from him drained as he looks upon the intimate exchange. He was the outsider now. Feeling as an intruder, bitterness and envy stabs him like a blade. Something he had felt many years ago, and often tried to run from.

Ilost averts his gaze for now, partly disgusted with his own selfish emotions. Though he knew it was for the best....

interesting that storm-9 is listed as a xerneas in the code…

skyrim's been out for almost thirteen goddamn years and i still can't figure out what exactly we were stopping alduin from doing

eating the world? why'd he hang around long enough for us to stop him, then? why bother resurrecting all of those dragons?

reviving the dragon cult and taking over the world? why not rekindle the dragon war in earnest once he'd regained his troops? why does paarthurnax think his aim's the apocalypse, then?

simple revenge on the nords? why not get, like, 1000% more scorched earth with it?

Early on in her adventure, Nimue would gravitate more towards taking the more 'good-aligned' companions with her (Gale, Karlach, and Wyll) because she secretly craved their approval a bit. They were what she didn't think she could be, and she admired them and took them with her quite a bit as such.

However, her fear of their disapproval and her own moral compass (barely existent as it was) wouldn't fully mesh well, and it would lead to some conflicts between her and them. She would slowly feel more awful taking them with her, in the sense of 'They're so good and I'm so not, I don't know if I can be the person they see in me'. The pressure to be something she wasn't with them would suffocate her.

It's not that she wanted to go be an evil bastard, but as time goes on even with influences from her companions helping her form a moral compass and understanding right from wrong better, she still ends up with a quite utilitarian mindset. She ends up being fairly kind and generally does the right thing, but she can at times do some very questionable actions to achieve the greater goal that could lead to conflicts, even when she'd force herself to do certain things to make as many companions happy as she could.

She would find herself in actuality gravitating towards Astarion, Lae'zel, and Shadowheart because of her feeling like she could be more herself with them. She wouldn't feel as pressured with them in spite of how any of them could be just because their mindsets aligned more so with her own and their expectations felt less difficult to reach, and their disapproval just doesn't hit as hard for her. She still cares whether they approve, but it f eels less like a punch in the gut since she also didn't crave their approval nearly as much.

She equally (platonically by default) loves all of her companions very much regardless but some are just easier to be with than others, though late Act 2 after her urges are finally openly known to everyone it becomes easier to be with the more good-aligned companions knowing they accept her as she is more.

It's a her problem overall of thinking quite lowly of herself and admiring the good-aligned companions to a degree that leads her to fear they'll reject her even more so than the others. Even though they don't expect her to be a shining paragon of goodness and ultimately would accept her, she still fears failing to be the sort of person they'd want to be with.

So, overall, it ties back to her fear of being abandoned in the end.
