I strongly believe every version of Yoo Joonghyuk needs a version of Kim Dokja (and vice versa) and I will say, 41!Joonghyuk and Lee Hakhyun are particularly precious to me

wait I WROTE SOMETHING FOR ALHAITHAM? in what world did i have the time for that last night

[fangsanddaggers]

Colour had indeed returned to the not-vampire, wings looking fresher, still messy and a touch dirty, but they almost seemed to shine from within. Astarion looked more real in this state, more aware, focused, alight with a kind of life he'd long since lamented in his final days. The kind of energy, the pulsing beat of what seemed to be a heart thrumming in ways he'd wax sweet poetry about Gale's own.

I wonder what mine would sound like.

Does my breathing sound normal? I've not heard it in a relaxed state in so long...

I wonder what my eyes would look like, were I alive again.

He'd wondered of many things he now held the answers to- only he remembered nothing of the curiosities he'd once held. Almost spared from remembering the horrors, though sadly it meant forgetting the wonders of the near end.

Instantly, he helps the human up, eager to aid after draining him, worried as the man seemed to very nearly sway. But fingers find his face, brush locks from eyes and earn a widening of lids for their trouble, only to be subtly chased by the face of the lost, free hand rising, stopping halfway from outright touching. It felt familiar in a way he could not describe.

"Do? I.... Fed? Drank your..." The being trailed off as Gale found words to describe what had happened. First he was treated like an intruder (rightfully so), cursed and yelled at, then told he was a monster that fed on blood. Only to, when he did feed on blood, he's told not only had ne not, in fact, fed on blood. But healed the human. His mind short circuits, rolling and tumbling as he tried to compute. His stomach felt round, like it was filled with something, the human was swaying like he couldn't breathe or orient himself correctly on his own, or was it he who was swaying?

"I... Healed you." It's echoed slowly, showing he was processing the words, brows slowly pinching down. "Healed you... How? I know very few spells, none of which I cast, nor thought of casting yet." He knows his mouth was too occupied to even whisper te curo.

Wasn't it?

"But you said... I think it's I who needs to sit down for a moment." it's gently playful, a tiny fragment of a laugh leaving him, the high pitched one that hinted his own nerves were spiked.

Two years it had been since he had last seen Astarion. Since he had seen a vampire drink blood from someone. Or at least spot the remains on one's mouth. Gale wasn't a fool, he researched many things, even tried to find a ring of sunwalking for the other after everything. Even though he knew he was gone. Everyone told him he was gone but Gale didn't want to believe it. Because Astarion couldn't be gone. He had so much left to do. Crimson looking into brown. Achingly familiar crimson. But this? This was not the drinking of blood he remembered. No, this was more--- this was strange. Is this a trance, he thought. His blood isn't toxic anymore, he's not rotting from the inside out but Gods, this is strangely intimate. He has a moment of fear on his tongue but he feels strangely safe. The wings are still new, the gold coming into view and all Gale can do is stare. Their foreheads touch and Gale wants to stare at him, afraid this will be the last time he sees him but his eyes close. He's so safe here. What happens next is a whirlwind. He feels lighter. Gale at first panics because feeling this light is new and different and not right but how can it be so wrong when he lets out a gasping breath. He hasn't felt like this in so long, even after the orb was taken from him, Gale would wake up with panic attacks that he would erupt even now. He feels light. And warm. Whatever Astarion is now, it isn't a spawn. It isn't a vampire. Gale is unsure what he is. But all he knows is he's here. There's a moment when they look to each other. Did Astarion not know what he had done? Was this some sort of dream? Gale watched him stand, and looked to his wrist. No bitemarks. No blood missing. But Astarion looks healthier. The wizard reaches up with his hand, and allows the help to stand. Gale simply stares at him, not knowing what to say. What to do about this. He almost forgot. That same hand that reached to him, moves a curl from the other's face. As if he needed to touch him to see that he was real. "Gods." He says finally, his brain trying to work with his mouth. "What did you just-- do? I mean, that was. Astarion, you didn't drink my blood, you--- did something. But it wasn't that." He pauses for a long moment. "You didn't hurt me. It feels like you---" He swallows. "You healed me."

if I hadn't slept at 4am last night and played for 8h today I would do more, here is my recap

(act 2-3 spoilers)

I GOT THE FUCKING LEVELS BUT THE ACHIEVEMENT DIDN'T PROC

on the bright side because Siffrin's at max I get to obliterate everything in sight and that makes fighting funnier

OVER 1000 ERASED SADNESSES. I AM GOD /silly

obliterated the King very easily (forgot I had the bomb too but shhh)

and flames and flood that glitch effect. oh by the stars above. oh wow. YES. but also that was spooky despite me having been spoiled for that

the fact that the smell of burnt sugar was so prominent and yet Siffrin hasn't commented at all on the nostalgie (AND THE TEARS???) smelling sweet is driving me up the wall

adhd moment everything gets a speedrun

ghost jumpscare is very fun, I read through the achievements but seeing one still gives me the urge to just go "WHAT THE FUCK."

Bonbon. is going to make me cry. help they're so cute and they just wanna help and not see their found family get hurt and then shrug it off forever, Siffrin-

this image. by the skies. look at them.

I do not normally actually laugh out loud at my computer when not on voice call. "we have one of those at home" in Mirabelle's hangout got a big laugh out of me. Well played, game <3

poor Odile went on a wile-d goose chase (this pun was a stretch but I Had To)

impatience moment from me but it's easier to manage than the sugar thing

Isabeau trans moment??

this and Mirabelle's hangout make me really want to stream this game to a friend of mine. they may end up crying tho.

urge to murderhobo. but scared. ask multiple sources and places whether it's a loopending thing if I go feral. get no answer. chicken out because the anxiety always wins in this scenario because FAMILY ON THE LINE. this is probably in character tbh

otherwise vibe through loop as normal

temptation. to pineapple. cause completionist and "what does the button do". but I don't wanna upset them. and I'm scared. hhhhhhhhhh

WHAT THE FUCK?

CHANGE GOD??????

change god is an uwu I'm going to explode (it's hilarious but I am lowkey dying here)

ring ring ring ring ring, banana fone!!!!

oh

oh god oh fuck

....

you BITCH /lh

the final snacktime of this run nearly killed me I don't usually cry but this nearly made me tear up. found family really do get me

giving the King a flower may not have been the Smartest idea, but for some ungodly reason it's giving me Hollow Knight vibes and that makes it worth the confusion

I know this isn't the end but new dialogue!!!

ISABEAU YOU CHICKEN. PLEASE. I am too soft to call you a useless gay even in jest but COME ON MAN

welp here we go again

poor Siffrin

uh

oh

FUCK

GUYS????????

I stopped after the loop ended but it feels like a cliffhanger.

MAN. MY BRAIN. I wanna keep going but it's been 8h and now that I have the memory of family there is literally nothing keeping me from going for OP 2 Electric Boogaloo when I get back to playing. and I don't wanna stay up until 4am again.

I don't have to chain fam runs in order to get You Are Loved, right? I mean I probably will but I'm tempted to make Odile suspicious of me and that might fudge it a bit.

More rambling F&C finale thoughts

(warning for a bit of negativity--I loved the show but I have some criticisms I wanna lament about)

I think overall my impression of the finale boils down to... "it felt a little rushed"

And I DO mean it when I say I liked it--even Fionnaworld losing its magic, which was something I said I absolutely didn't want. They successfully softened the blow on that by having Cake stay magical and keeping everyone's memories intact.

But yeah, I dunno, the Shermy and Beth section felt like kind of a long walk for Simon to reach the simple conclusion he did, and it left us without any time for him to explore what "moving forward" and "living life" will actually LOOK like, or even for him to just, like, have a conversation with Marceline!

(I honestly can't believe they didn't give us a scene of Marcy fretting over him, after the misunderstanding in episode 2. I mean, how long was he gone on this multiverse trip?? She didn't MEAN to blow him off, and once she realizes how unwell he was feeling I can only imagine she'd be right there supporting him in his recovery. At the very least I wish we'd seen them hanging out again to show that he DOES still have a major place in her life and that he was just in a bad headspace before. They're family, dammit!! She loves him!!)

I just.... Yeah. I'm rewatching some of the last episode again now, and it just feels kinda? cluttered?? to me. We go straight from Simon's big epiphany of how much he'd enabled Betty's self-sacrificing habit, to like two lines of dialogue later when he's suddenly realizing that he is deserving of life. Like, there are several great ways to connect those two thoughts, but it felt like they skipped over it all and the result feels jarring to my brain. Does that make sense...? Is it just me...?

Sigh. Anyway.

Betty going off to do her own soul-searching is absolutely for the best and is the only satisfactory way things could have gone after all that buildup, but others have stated better than I how this also felt a little... incomplete. I'm happy for her, but I wish it wasn't QUITE so open-ended.

(They did a fantastic job emphasizing that the love was real, though. "We made our choices. We could've made better ones, but I don't have any regrets." Ooughuhg 💘🔪😭✨💖💘 It hurts just right.)

Hhhhhhhhhh so yeah. I suppose it's really no worse than how Adventure Time itself ended--let's be honest, "Come Along with Me" is kind of a mess!--but ouuugh it still leaves me wanting just a LITTLE bit more from them.

Well. *fond but exasperated sigh* I guess that's what fanfiction is for.

agito 21-30 notes

aki lasted for about as long as i expected. o7 good on you girl for knocking hojo around it made him very funny for a few episodes.

(like most things about aki) i feel like it was a bit rushed pacing-wise. bc i totally missed the point at which her and ryou's relationship got super-deep. like i thought it was cute but i wish it was a little more substantiated. esp since it's used as the basis for continued conflict b/w gills and agito

comparatively it definitely felt like the g3-x / v1 debacle overstayed its welcome. it was fun to see ozawa and hojo interact w/ shouichi though! and also hojo getting the shit beat out of him lol. and it had good development for hikawa and ozawa. ahhh i liked it it was just slow.

ultimately i don't have a problem for the mini-arc itself, it just felt like everything else ground to a halt to make time for focus on it, and considering there's a lot of stuff that happens that i feel doesn't get enough time (ryou's entire plot re: the akatsuki survivors and their powers... again more time w/ aki would have been great. i feel like we never see ryou if he isn't attacking agito or an unknown or otherwise experiencing gills-related debilitating pain. so like when the survivors blame him and eventually kill him it's like... i wish i felt a little bit more about this lol. i think a lot of good was done on this front AFTER he died [though i do know he comes back bc i have all the eps downloaded and it says so in a later episode title] i'm having a recurring feeling that the story keeps putting certain story beats off long enough that i get annoyed and then addressing them immediately after that point. ultimately it's a pacing/balancing issue for me and ik i'm finicky about this sort of thing but w/e)

to this point i really wish ryou's flashback focus episode was before his death rather than after bc if you're separating it from the chronology of the show anyways i prefer foreshadowing rather than irony but eh. however this episode was the closest i've gotten to crying yet for agito (prev was in the early episodes re: mana and her dad) but idk gills particularly really hits the "stuck in between human and monster against your will" theme that i like from kr

also this set of episodes was very devoid of rapidly-aging-baby. sad.

also shouichi getting his memories back only for two episodes was lame as hell. Why Did You Do That. esp bc the episodes were so cool and brought the apostle back into actual relevance. arggghhhhhhhhh. considering that those revelations are pretty much locked to those episodes and the questioning of why shouichi lost his memory again or the what contents of his memories were is pretty much dropped after shouichi reveals it, it sort of feels like him regaining his memories was more of a tool to reveal apostle backstory while resetting shouichi back to square one again. hhhhhhhhhh i liked serious shouichi................................

also i feel like i have lost the plot on what exactly Prettyboy Jesus has control over. unless its literally everything (the unknown the superhumans and regular humanity). him and the apostle are still cool as hell though i still am hoping they get more time as we get later and later into the show. i feel like the man vs. god conflict structure is so common in the stuff i like but it will get me 99.9% of the time it's that simple.

mana getting her powers accelerated makes me Scared but its better than her being a "Shouchi!"-bot for like 10 episodes (can you tell this pissed me off)

also i feel like the unknown are getting less interesting again. rip. the combat itself is still cool though :]

last note: we need to cut down the hikawa slapstick by like at least half. bc it is so hit or miss girl.

⭐- What’s a scene/paragraph you’re proud of?

I suppose you meant that to be a question for Breeze? :D

And ooooooh so many! But the three I can just remember spontaneously are these:

1. The worst misunderstanding - Chapter 1“Alya-… Do you-… Do you pity me?”The brunette had stopped dead in tracks, a light breeze playing with her hair as she turned to see her best friend’s cheeks wet. She had bitten on her lip and stepped forward to embrace Marinette.“Of course. Chloé’s trying to turn your life into a living hell, so who does not?”Marinette had pushed Alya away, shaking her head to not see her friend’s irritated face.“So she was right! You’re only my friend because you pity me-… How we actually met, it was because of Chloé picking at me again.”“Marinette, wait, that’s not what I’m saying-”

2. Marinette stirring up new hope - Chapter 31“And-…”, he hesitatingly asked, “How do you feel now? About your burden, about your… ‘solution’, as you called it?”She smiled.“Let’s just say, I have another plan now. I realized I have people by my side who still value me, so I have to bring back Ladybug.”, she met his gaze confidently and smirked as she saw the big question mark in his expression, “It’s easy. I just need a chance to talk to Chat Noir and then – well, okay, hopefully – Ladybug will be back. She may not be the same as before, but she will be twice as powerful and Hawkmoth will experience that when she lays her hands on him for making all of Paris feel that awful for months. And he will be rather sorry.”

3. Marinette proves to be a real hero - Chapter 51  “Lucky Charm!!”A knife fell into her hands and she immediately knew what to do with this one. No uncertainty, no unnecessary thoughts. He was right before her and he was afraid. She had the chance to make him pay now.It would be so easy to let the knife come down and slit his throat. It would be so easy to let it sink into his chest and watch the life draining out of his eyes. It would be so satisfying to have him die in front of her.“Nino, please-… Please come back to me! Don’t-… Don’t leave me, c’mon-…!”She heard the sobs of her best friend echoing through the room. Her voice cut through Ladybug’s adrenaline rush and made her hesitate. Her hand with the knife in it sunk a bit, losing all exertion.Hawkmoth grinned and pushed his sword into his cane, gathering his butterflies around him. A cloud of white butterflies rushed past her, creating a rustling breeze, towards the window.And with a quiet laughter, he was gone.

Btw there’s so much more connected to the last scene but nobody can understand yet because it’s too subtle ;P

[whattheskyknows]

Drv3 chapter 5 investigation: yeah the Exisals have an electronic lock

Me, who had completely forgotten: yeah so the Exisals can be opened using some sort of latch-

[pogcicle]

OKAY WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS--

REMIND ME OF THIS?!?!?!?!?

SOMEONE FUCKING EXPLAIN

[lorebird]

Amaranth (8) and Wanderer (ded) from this here au :] lore under the cut!!

I’m still figuring out the physical equivalent of sanitization here — I know it’s a side effect of some Animus Tomfoolery, but not the actual effects themselves — but I was thinking it’d show up as something called scalerot. Scales slowly start turning green across the body, losing feeling as they do so (but not actually rotting, that’s just in the name). It’s associated with memory loss, but doesn’t actually cause it; both are side effects of... something that an animus is pulling.

Wanderer has long since lost all their memories (including what their name originally was — spoiler, it was Sincerity). They somehow escaped the animus’ clutches, but. Well. They don’t exactly remember how WHOOPS..... now they spend their time trying to find others falling to their mysterious curse and help them before it’s too late.

Amaranth is one such person! I don’t know exactly how the animus is gonna work here, but she falls to their plot until Wanderer comes and pulls her out with a loophole in the magic. They then run into Viridian, who explains their plan to destroy the animus. Hopefully they can do it before the scalerot completely consumes both Wanderer and Amaranth,,,,,,,,,
