@prince-hikari-ku

Agnea? I need to talk to you.

...What is it, Hikari...?

[moonlightjudgement]

...Temenos...? Are you alright...?

...

How could I be?

as much as i love to criticize yellowjackets as i frankly think it's a fumbled attempt at an intriguing premise i CANNOT get behind the "yellowjackets is not as gay as advertised" crowd. i'm not even personally that invested in shauna/jackie and i know there have been dismissive comments from certain actors about the nature of their relationship and well rip to those people i guess because reading shauna/jackie as anything other than a budding lesbian romance tragically cut off before it could bloom is just. wrong? it's not even subtextual, it transcends the text, it's the most important relationship in the story, it IS the story, at the heart of every single thing that happens or doesn't happen is that these two girls were in deep lesbian love with each other. there is no other way to read it if you try to complicate or simplify it by making it about jealousy or identity or friendship you lose both the core sexual desire and the deep romantic love that were (and still are) driving and twisting and softening and ruining everything around these young women

[viridiave]

🤭 for the ask game

Thanks for the ask!!

Do you have a favorite tag to use when posting your works?

I wouldn't say I have any particular favorite tag but I AM surprised that 'Bewildering Grace as a plot device' isn't an actual tag in the Octopath archive rip

Ya'll should see what Pixiv does with it dndndn total coin toss on whether or not it'll traumatize you though

[da-millerrrrr]

Agnea... I think I may've drank too much... hoo-ey...

Need some water?

[ajdrawshq]

(voice of guy who Needs to play octopath but doesn't have the energy to attempt the secret boss/extra battles/another playthrough) what if i went thru each job and skill with everyone to hear all of their unique voicelines. or something

[larnax]

they're just taunting me by having therion keep steal SP. they took this from us, and for what. for octopath 2 cleric. becase of the hatred and violence in the world

[eightfoldjourney]

What I love about this interaction the most is that there's two ways you can interpret this: either Temenos genuinely doesn't get the implication here, or he does and is pretending not to just to mess with Reiza.

Either one is entirely plausible with this little shit.

[smilepebble]

so long story short, i ended up spending ~9 hours of gameplay doing bewildering grace battles with primrose, olberic, and cyrus in order to get large amounts of JP without getting too much EXP. very tedious process but it was all worth it to get sealticge's seduction at level 26. with all that out of the way, all that's left is to fight steorra and dreisang!
