#defo did after this

[misty-missdee]

dont tell my gf i stayed up a little later to play some gameboy after saying goodnight and then this happened.

[doctorsiren]

every time I mention Ace Attorney around my (defense lawyer) father, he asks if I’ll be going to law school now

the best bit was me telling him that if I did that, I would be fulfilling the Phoenix Wright prophecy because I’d be dropping my art degree to pursue law

Day 16 of OCtober is "food" so here's Bueford in some kind of ad for his bagel shop

[revel-inbluehues]

Okay, now that I've got the fangirling out of the system, some initial thoughts on dialogue.

XL - he sounded more confrontational in the dub. He also said the best fucking line ever; "you don't know him like I do". Like, sweetie, you sound like you're defending your good-for-nothing boyfriend from your friends and family while they tell you that this is a bad idea. Tbh, that is kinda what is happening. But also, the one tiktok with this exact line and talking about opinion on assault/salt popped up instantly.

PM - he sounds hot, sue me. But, yeah, defo a honeyed hoe vibe from him.

JW - I praise whoever came up with the English dialogue and his va because the lines and delivery were amazing. By tone, he sounds confident, kind but watchful, and miffed, like a parent whose child didn't live up to their words or expectation, which is exactly what you would be expecting. The lines add to this. "Torture", "disrespect", "disappointed" and "selfishly" are the main words, where it's clear that JW blames XL for not reaching out, for pushing him away. It sounds like a concerned parental figure, but it also has manipulation, where JW wants XL to feel guilty for his actions. He then proceeds to talk about how XL's actions have made things more difficult for him and how XL has his implicit trust. This, combined with the guilt-tripping, made XL feel somewhat responsible for associating with HC, which he doesn't feel bad about, and for making things harder for JW, which XL might be feeling bad about. Technically, none of this is a bad thing; JW, as both a highly political figure, leader and mentor figure for XL, could simply be trying to guide a misfortunate subordinate and student to stay out of trouble and safe by gaslight, gatekeep, girl bossing him. But, knowing JW's full past completely recontextualises the whole thing, and everything sounds so much more sinister, an attempt at control and teaching, a perverse form of care, and a shit ton of manipulation. Either way, for both novel readers and donghua only, you can tell that something is off.

SQX - both male and female voices were unique but fitting to their physical form, and every line from them was absolute gold and had me laughing, especially when he was talking about how pretty he is.

HC - woof. No, but seriously, when I first watched season 1 dub, I genuinely thought that HC's voice actor was Tatum because of the Sebastian Michaelis resemblance, so it made sense when I heard that Sebastian was the inspiration. The difference between s1 and s2 is the fact that in s1, HC was softer and brighter when interacting with XL while being baiting and mocking towards everyone else. In s2, in the 2 lines we got, it was so obvious that he was leaning into the suave and self-assurance because he's not dealing with people he dislikes or XL. He's in his territory, in front of his subjects who adore and follow him. His tone speaks volumes of his power in the city; he sounds arrogant, but it's justified, so really, it's true, backed-up confidence. The last 2 lines reminded me so much of Sebastian with calm, poised, but ultimately vicious tone.

Finally catching up on Ethersea! Here’s a couple comics about how thats been going.

[Image Description: Two sketch comics, done mostly in black and white. OP is depicted as a chibi anthro dragon.

First Image:

Panel 1: OP is sitting behind a tablet, holding headphones up while thinking, “Other folks are listening to things while working. Guess I can use this opportunity to catch up on Ethersea... It’s probably fine, right?”

Panel 2: OP is holding onto a pen, face scrunched up, their mouth a wobbly line. Behind them are three chibi faces of Devo, Zoox and Amber, surrounded by the word Yum Nut repeated over and over.

Second Image:

Panel 1: OP is thinking, “How should I draw Devo La Main?” Behind them are little written notes that say “Early 20s, very pretty, 6ft+ tall, coat is (navy-ish) blue, eyes glow blue when using magic”

Panel 2: A colored sketch of ‘Devo’, a man with brown skin, dark hair tied in a spiky ponytail with an undercut, and teal blue eyes. He looks a lot like the character Raihan from Pokemon. He is saying, “You’re predictable!” to which OP replies “For fuck’s sake.”

WYLL WEEK DAY ONE: DATE

wyll finally convinced his soon-to-be wife to a day of rest and surprises her with a proper first date.

pairing: wyll/ tav (calpurnia zimmlar) wc: 450 note: this is set post-game but pre-epilogue party.

ao3: 🩵

Wyll let her sleep-in that morning, sneaking out of bed once she had loosened her grip on him and closing the curtains extra tight before he went downstairs to get ready for the day ahead.

He understood that she would hate not being out in the city helping people but she needed at the very least one day of rest.

Calpurnia had been going out every single day for the last two months to help out in the Lower City, clearing rubble, healing who she could, praying over others. Wyll had been out there most days as well, though recently he had started getting prepared to be officially named Duke of Baldur’s Gate.

“You let me sleep.” Calpurnia announced herself and Wyll closed the basket in front of him.

“Yes, well,” he responded, watching as she descended in her nightgown and waltzed right over to his side, “you promised to rest for the day.”

“I would still like to be up before midday.” She smiled, hugging his arm.

Even just after a longer rest than usual and she looked more at peace than she had in a while.

“What’s in there?” She gestured to the basket before wrapping her arms around his midsection.

“You’ll find out soon enough, my love. Go get dressed.”

Taking her hand away, Calpurnia continued eyeing the basket suspiciously, “did you convince me to rest just so you can take me out on a date?”

“A hearty meal will help you feel more rested. There’s a dress waiting on the chair beside your vanity.” Wyll kissed the top of her head before she unlinked from him and went back to the stairs.

–

Wyll had set them up in a secluded clearing in the unkempt back garden of the Ravengard Manor, it was quiet and serene, there was just enough of a lovely breeze to make sure it wasn’t too warm amongst the foliage.

Leaning against his betrothed, they had nearly finished their meal and sat in silence as Calpurnia wrapped an arm around his midsection and melted into his touch.

“So what made you think of this, Mister Blade of Frontiers?”

“I came to the realization recently that I never properly courted you. The way I would’ve liked and I’ve been dwelling on it, thinking hard about what we could do in the city and where I could take you.”

Wyll stopped, uncharacteristically unsure about how to phrase what he wanted to say as he felt a cold hand against the seam on his open shirt, an innocent slip of her hand but it got his mind racing nonetheless.

“Admittedly I would be over the moon to do anything with you.” She responded.

“And I, you.”

i’m just

there must be so many gaps in jieum’s memory

she was the girl of many trades but can she remember how she learnt any of those skills? No they were all from her past lives so they’re gone. Can she remember leaving her neglectful family to live with ae-gyeong? No because she was from a past life, so where does ji-eum think she grew up? She remembers being good at school and her awards but not if anybody was there in the audience for her. She says in her phone call to her superior that she remembers switching departments before, but she doesn’t remember working in the hotel. She cooks meals the exact way as ae-gyeong taught her and she taught ae-gyeong, but she doesn’t remember having learnt them. if she can’t remember anything to do with her past lives, she wouldn’t be able to remember anything that had happened in the past few months the drama is set over.

that must be such an odd and confusing existence, to only remember small dots and flashes of your life, and a giant gap in recent memory, and she doesn’t even seem to be affected by it either? Did she go to the hospital after coming to consciousness standing on a bridge with no idea how she got there? Did they run tests on her brain to see if something had gone wrong? Does she think she suffered a mental breakdown?

What is going on in ji-eum’s brain in those final scenes i want to dissect her thoughts like a grape

Oh -- I'm still alive? Huh.

He has his priorities -- of course S'ria is worried

No one else is thrilled about this

S'RIA IS SORRY, he knew what he did would warrant being scolded.

S'ria is quite badly injured let's... Be gentle with him.

While the game may have WoL getting back on their feet within a minute of waking, that is very much not the case for S'ria.

A major part of his injuries were to his ribs, which magic is only able to properly set and encourage regrowth, but not fully heal back to normal strength. He'll need a while until he can resume physical activities without damaging them, and even then he will still be experiencing pain for months or years.

Additionally, with him taking chest injuries -- back during Stormblood, Zenos pierced one of his lungs. While it's long healed, it does leave S'ria vulnerable to that lung failing him again if even just hit in the chest hard enough. (Which. He absolutely was, in this case.)

While most of his other injuries were able to be healed with little fuss, he's dealing with some complex fractures in his right leg. It'll eventually heal enough to fight, but it won't ever be quite the same again.)

Needless to say, the post-6.0 timeframe is not short in Snowverse, as it'll be likely 2-3 months before he is medically cleared to resume training and get back on his feet with light fighting.

It's been a week since I finished the Mario+Rabbids Last Spark Hunter DLC and I'm still thinking about this

[hwitzr]

what does your heart look like ?

molten lava and charred flesh.

your heart burned so fiercely that it burnt itself out, leaving horrible scars in its wake; scars inside your chest and on the hands of those who touched you, the hearts of anyone who got close enough to connect to yours. the person you are now is no longer recognisable, burnt up by your own anger and passion and love. the injuries can never be fully erased, but they can be soothed with time and trust and forgiveness.

Me right before I go on break for the holidays: Yea i should be able to get del’‘s memorial piece finished before new years!

Me during my holiday break: *has everything all at once happening at the same time* never mind then!

[bi-kisses]

Can people give me the run down on the post-post-trial Amber Heard/Johnny Depp situation? I feel as though the consensus is still very anti-Heard, but I've seen interesting info arise about withheld evidence and whatnot. So if someone is... Idk, invested? Lmk what the deal is.

FWIW I thought it was public knowledge that Heard mistreated Depp but that he also has a drug and alcohol problem, on top of being an all around asshole, so I'm not so sure he was a perfect non-abusive angel throughout their relationship.
