Only Friends Episode 10 | Sand & Ray's Fight Scene

This has got to be one of the most memorable scenes delivered by this pair in the series. It's one I come back to again and again.

Probably the single confrontation where we see Ray so utterly devastated. Even in his 'fight' with Mew, he didn't look this torn up. Khaotung manages to combine high levels of rage with incredible sadness, that his every response is laden with just how deeply hurt Ray is feeling. The first gif breaks my heart because Ray looks like a wounded child, the vulnerability in his expression simply says 'Why? How could you possibly do this to me?'

Whilst Sand (as always) tries to reign his emotions in, tries to remain as composed as he possibly can whilst Ray verbally batters him. This is also the only scene where we see Sand unravel, but he only allows himself to do so once Ray has left the room. The degree of anguish and disbelief in his face when Ray accuses him of lacking any integrity really hurts to watch.

I've said this before but when these two characters come into conflict, the dynamic is so challenging. Ray is always outwardly emotional (which requires Khaotung to be explosive), whereas Sand is mostly inwardly emotional (so First needs to be tightly wound throughout). This could very easily be misbalanced but the tension bounces between these two so well.

My favorite book is Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I didn’t mean for it to happen, but it turns out I’ve listened to it more than ten times.

It’s just so good. So suspenseful and funny and nerdy and emotional and it makes me cry so hard every time.

And it makes me want to write (well, read) a… what would a story taking place in parallel be called? Paraquel?

Yeah, a paraquel following the life of one of his students while Grace is “traveling���. I’m not sure about the whole thing, but I am sure about a scene at the end.

There he was. Her throat clenched and tears welled in her eyes. He looked older of course, but not nearly as old as he would have been without time dilation. The harsh gravity had done a number on him too; back hunched, steps slow and pained, his face drooping almost comically, but it was him. She’d hung back as the captain and the rest of the crew greeted him, shaking hands and giving hugs and smiling wide. She waited for a lull.

“Hello, Mr Grace.” Her voice was thin, wavering with tears, but he heard her, his eyes searching the room. The crew heard her too, captain frowning while Shaan spoke up, irritated voice loud in the small room.

“It’s Doctor Grace. Have some respect, Miller.”

She hadn’t told them. Why would she have? They hadn’t traveled to the 40 Eridani system for Grace, they had come to meet the neighbors. Ryland Grace was dead, he had died saving Earth, and even if his last message said he was turning back to save Rocky and his people, that didn’t mean he had survived his heroic sacrifice. She had hoped though.

“No, it’s Mr Grace. He told me so, first time we met. Wrote it on the board as he introduced himself.” Her voice was still wavering, and tears ran down her cheeks as she looked at her old teacher. “I haven’t seen you since you walked out in the middle of class.” She smiled at him through the tears. Her throat hurt. He was alive.

His eyes stared at her, widening in comprehension. “Abby? Oh my god, Abby? Is it really you?”

She nodded, completely ignoring her captain asking what was going on in the background. “Hi, Teach.”

A sob erupted from his throat as he stepped towards her, hands reaching out. “Abby. You grew up.”

She laughed and took his shoulders, pressing her forehead against his. “I did.” Then she pulled away and grinned. “You didn’t. I’m almost caught up to you.”

fun facts about octopath traveler 2’s spanish localization:

Mindt’s name is Trinidad which just makes me feel like the game is more latinoamerican coded than what i originally feel like due to the situations and themes explored LOL. Actually a LOT of the names of side characters change in spanish which is pretty shocking to me because the spanish localization of the first game barely changed names at all. Rai Mei is called Lai Mei, King Jigo is named Rey Yi Gou, Roque is named Locke, Pala is named Paula. etc. Also Agnea’s last name in spanish is Bristarniz which still makes me confused when i have to tag her name and i gotta be careful not to put the z at the end

Allure is actually called Seducir (Seduce) both in the first game and in this one which makes the scene where you have to allure Giselle in Agnea’s chapter 3 pretty gay.

You have to seduce her in order for her to see the value of her art again. Which i find a completely insane choice.

Tbh it’s quite Odd that uhh Agnea is canonically 18 and the option in spanish sounds sexual, whereas in the first game this wasn’t much of an issue because Primrose was more of a femme fatale kinda character and she was 24. But ok. There really isn’t much of a translation for Allure that doesn’t sound suggestive in spanish though. Maybe something like Encantar? Atraer sounds weird too.

Partitio and Agnea use a lot of very Castillian Spanish expressions which makes it really hard for me to understand what they mean sometimes help??? Like it makes Sense because they even have their own accent in the english dub and localization. But i’m not spaniard. I have gripes with the fact every single game gets a castillian spanish localization and never a neutral latin american because despite them being the same language there are a lot of different words and it annoys me to see hostia and hala like omg i’m so fed up of this

Also Tanzy’s journay entry is written formally with big boy words which i found awesome because it makes it sound more romantic, if that makes sense? Like some quotes coming out of the golden age of mexican cinema. i love toxic yuri
