Puffin!! As famously bad as I am with words, you are receiving this message because you are one of my dearest friends on this awful website, and in the light of the end of the year, I wanted to share my love for you! We’ve now been writing together for four years and not a single day goes by that I don’t brag to people that I managed to drag you into tumblr rp. You are one of the best, most consistent and most passionate writers I’ve ever seen and your command of words inspires me again and again to Do Better. Every reply and drabble from you is a treasure trove of creativity, lyricism and unmatched skill. It is a privilege and an honor to write with you, and I am beyond grateful to be allowed to call you my friend. 

And that’s not all! Beyond your gift for writing and plotting, you are also an absolute gem of a person. I know things haven’t always been easy, but your resilience, your drive and your endless kindness are an inspiration to me, and I don’t say that lightly. Your steadfast support and interest have been an incredible anchor for me as well, and I don’t think it’s possible to put into words how much comfort and security your friendship brings me even in my most uncertain times. I wouldn’t want to miss you from my life, not for anything. Plus, I always look forward to playing video games with you and squaring up against many-pixeled horrors. But even more than that, I look forward to just being on the phone with you and getting to talk with you about anything! You introduced me to Bloodborne and then coaxed me into Dark Souls as well, and I can’t thank you enough for sharing your passion for these games with me and letting me play them with you. Girl gang forever!! 

From the bottom of my heart: I love you and I am looking forward to another year together!

Oh my god, Lani, this message genuinely floored me!!  Thank you – this is nothing short of a gift, and I’ll treasure it forever.

Can you believe it’s been four years of writing together??  At this point, I can’t even remember the Before Times – and why would I want to?  I’ll never stop being grateful that you lured me into the madness that is Tumblr RP and held my hand through it all.  Not only that, but you’ve been my biggest supporter across fandoms and characters, time and space.

And your kind words about my writing?  Coming from someone whose prose I would print and frame if I could?  Every single reply and idea from you is a masterclass in storytelling, and I feel so lucky to be along for the ride.  Genuinely, I wouldn’t be half the writer I am today if it weren’t for you.

You are a light in my life, an absolute pillar, and I can’t overstate how much your friendship means to me.  We’ve both been through rough patches and wobbles, we’ve both had dips in activity and struggled with muse, but our conversations have never faltered.  You’re a force for good – the kind of person who makes everything brighter – and I can’t imagine my life, or even just this past year, without you in it.

I love our gaming sessions. How, even after we finish up and quit the game, we’ll stay on just to chit-chat about life, our characters, and everything in between. Bloodborne bowed before us, Far Cry 5 couldn’t hold us back, and soon we’ll have Dark Souls 1 and 3 under our belts, mark my words!

Girl gang forever, indeed.  I love you, Lani, and I’m beyond excited for another year of chatting, gaming, and creating with you.  Thank you for being in my life – for making it so much richer. ♡

One of the only things I'll say negatively about leverage is how they handled parkers Thing in the French connection job. She spends the whole episode talking about how she wants something to enjoy OUTSIDE of the life like eliot has cooking, hardison has gaming, and sophie has theater but then her thing ends up being art which like. Is fine. We know she loves art and shiny things, but the clear answer is music.

She did not stop dead in her tracks in the middle of a con, losing track of time and what she is doing TWICE because she heard her boys performing music, for you to say that music doesn't make her feel things.

She got CAUGHT in the scheherazade job bc she was so enamored with hardisons playing. She was completely caught off guard when they came in the room which is fucking unheard of for her. Don't tell me music doesn't make her Feel Things.

God I have so much to say about Melinoe's characterization, and the fasinating implications about her future arc/the overarching plot of hades 2. I want to make a larger think piece with pictures but for the moment I'm just going to focus on this one specific thread.

In the wake of the Prometheus reveal, she has a slew of convos about his motivations for siding with Chronos, and the gods basically all go: this is his vengeance for us punishing him a tad cruelly. And Nemesis is like, yeah the gods 100% deserve it. But Meli's responds that he must have more motivation than just vengeance, it can't just be that. But when Prometheus explicitly goes, 'I'm doing this because the gods are horrible to humanity and I love humans,' she basically goes, no he must be lying. That motivation is both too pure, but also humans kind of suck why would you care about them?

Mel's humanity hot takes deserve it's own essay (Ms I think Humans should have never gotten fire and are better when they are dead), and I just want to focus on the former for now. She can not comprehend that Prometheus is fighting the gods for noble reasons. It just does not make sense to her. Mel's world is so black and white. She doesn't understand the nuance of the situation, and the thought that the gods might be actually in the wrong doesn't even get close to crossing her mind.

It's a fascinating (and horrifying) result of her upbringing. Of the constant state of war and the very convenient big bad that is Chronos, the evil monster who stole her family. If she accepts that his side isn't completely evil, that they might even be right in some (even many) respects, she would have to grapple with her whole life. Everything she believes would be thrown into question, the literal thing she was training her whole life for.

She can't have Prometheus fighting for a noble cause, because he fights for Chronos whose the Bad Guy tm. But he also can't be fighting for something as simple as vengeance, because that would also mean she would need to really think about what he's angry about. If the punishment was truly so unnecessary cruel.

When talking to Odysseus about Prometheus, when Ody's saying how much he respected him for stealing the fire despite knowing the consequences, Mel says that it was the price to be paid for breaking Olympus's decree. To her, Olympus's rules are sacred and ultimately good. Unquestionably. Prometheus broke the rules with intent, so to her, why would he be so angry at the consequences? Especially if he knew because of his power they were going to happen.

So he must have another reason, some secret machiavellian plan that drives him. Except as I already said, it brings her right back to him doing it for humanity, which she also can't accept. Because that would be admiting that the gods did something wrong to humans. She twists herself into knots to justify her worldview, and it's fascinating! She's so messy I adore her.

Please Supergiant please the final surface boss has to be a human pleeeaaasse (preferably a living one). Or at least have one (or more) show up in some other capacity. Mel needs to come face to face with the other side and have it utterly destroy her worldview.

And/or have (Pan)Dora betray her for Prometheus, that would also be very fun haha.
