jaheira banter from bg2, part 1.
DO NOT REBLOG. Here's some conversations from Jaheira in Baldur's Gate 2; that I wanted to highlight. I owe the enhanced editions of the originals and play to plan again, but I wanted to share some some the interactions Jaheira had; to see where she came from // i wanted these saved on the blog // a warning that given the age of these games and the edition of D&D they spawn from; fantasy racism was at its height and everywhere and alignments were ever present & very black and white
With Aeerie ; a wingless avariel (winged elf) and lawful good cleric
Aerie: This... this light makes your hair look really pretty, Jaheira. Jaheira: Don't be a fool, it does nothing of the sort. Aerie: But— Jaheira: Put your silly romantic notions aside, Aerie. This isn't some childish fantasy, nor some grand adventure. Any one of us could die out here at any moment. Aerie: But we can go to the priests and—and they raise us from the dead again, as good as new, can't we? Jaheira: Sometimes they don't come back! Sometimes some people, no matter how much you love them and no matter what you try to do, get... they get taken away. You're young, Aerie... You'll figure it out soon enough.
the rest will be under th cut, because there a lot I wanna share. DO NOT REBLOG.
With Anomen ; a lawful neutral human fighter/cleric
Anomen: Lady Jaheira, it seems quite strange to me that a woman of clearly noble past would choose the life of an adventurer. What has brought you to this dangerous path? Jaheira: It is a path of conscience. Some druids choose a contemplative lifestyle, but I sought a more active role in the furthering of nature's cause. And you? Did you become a priest of Helm only for honor and glory? Anomen: Of course not. The righteous path ever beckons. It is merely a dividend of the Order that a member can make a place for himself in this difficult world. Jaheira: I see. What place you choose to make for yourself remains to be seen. Anomen: It does, but I assure you that you will not be disappointed. - - - - - Jaheira: You wear the scars of battle with pride, Anomen, like one who truly believes his cause. Anomen: I must. It is what pushes me forward. Doubt is the enemy. Jaheira: Those that never question do not see the whole of the issue. Anomen: The whole issue is not important. There is only the here and now, and what can be done within. Jaheira: Your world is small, if focused. The more impressive picture is always larger than you can see.
With Dorn ; a neutral-evil half-orc
Dorn: You have fire. I respect that. But I warn you, druid: Attempt to poison me again and you will not see the next sunrise. Jaheira: What nonsense are you babbling? Dorn: This concoction. You neglected to account for my orc blood. Next time, try something more potent. Jaheira: Do not be ridiculous. I am a druid, not an assassin. Dorn: Then how do you explain this vile brew? Jaheira: It is a mixture of myrtle and willow— Dorn: IT IS POISON. Jaheira: Drink it, Il-Khan. Or next time I will leave your wounds untended.
With Haer'Dalis ; a chaotic neutral tiefling blade
Haer'Dalis: Why do you stare at me so, Jaheira? Have I offended you? My manner is oft grim, but I did not think you so sensitive to it. Jaheira: No, no, I find your wit a treat, especially when it is unleashed upon the hapless that did not see it laying in wait. Haer'Dalis: Then why the glances as my head turns away? Jaheira: Forgive me the curiosity, but you are quite alien to me. You are not of this place and do not fit into the natural order, at least not by design. Haer'Dalis: Ahh, then you are wary and are intent on keeping me under guard?Jaheira: Not so much, but I am interested to see where your niche finds itself. I am wondering what you will balance, for all things have their counterpart. Haer'Dalis: I see. Perhaps I straddle the fence, providing my own balance. Perhaps I drop things on either side as whim dost take me. Jaheira: Or perhaps you enjoy the discord of chaos because you have not found that niche yet. We shall see. - - - - - Haer'Dalis: Ah, my hound, this city be the great world of commerce! Perhaps we can sell Jaheira? Jaheira: *groan* Cut your wit, bard. The day has been long already without adding hours to it. Haer'Dalis: Cut my wit? Why, certainly, if I could only use your nose's razor edge to perform the task. Jaheira: Aye, it seems I've sharpened it upon the grindstone of your heart. Haer'Dalis: Well, my frumpy ptarmigan, I must protest— Jaheira: "Methinks thou dost protest too much." Aye, I can quote the poets too. If you must protest, I respond only to hunger strikes and, even then, too late. Haer'Dalis: Oh, <CHARNAME>, raven of sympathy! Yon woman is stifling my creativity and stealing thunder from my wit! I swear I cannot work amidst the lashings of her tongue!
With Hexxat ; a neutral evil vampire thief
Jaheira: You should know that I neither trust nor like you, Hexxat. Hexxat: I'd have been happier simply suspecting as much. Jaheira: <CHARNAME> seems to like you well enough, and I have great respect for HIM/HER Hexxat: As do I. Jaheira: I know you did not seek to become what you are. I will try to look past it as best I can. Hexxat: Thank you, Jaheira. I shall try to prove myself worthy of your respect. - - - - - Jaheira: I must admit you have surprised me, vampire. Hexxat: Oh? Jaheira: I expected you to betray us at the earliest opportunity. Yet you still remain by <CHARNAME>'s side. Hexxat: I would feel the same in your position. Jaheira: I would still slay you, given the opportunity. Hexxat: I'll be sure to bear that in mind. Jaheira: But for now... I am willing to accept your place in the party. Hexxat: That means a lot to me, Jaheira. Sincerely. Thank you.
With Keldorn ; a lawful good human inquisitor
Jaheira: Keldorn? You look pensive. Are you well? Keldorn: I am well enough, Jaheira, though our circumstance gives me reason to pause. Jaheira: Hmm. I have been thinking as well. It is hard to draw a line in the sand and say, "This side represents balance; this other side does not." Keldorn: Balance? Would that balance were the worst of our worries. Jaheira: Ah. Having trouble with the black and white aspects? Keldorn: That would be an understatement. I am quite certain of what evil lies ahead, but I am finding problems with identifying the "good" path around it. Jaheira: I'm not sure what to say. We do what we can when the opportunity presents itself. Keldorn: That would be all that can be asked. Torm guide us; we need his wisdom.
With Mazzy ; a lawful goodd halfing fighter
Jaheira: Oh, omnipresent authority figure, what are your commands now?Mazzy: Jaheira, there is a level of sarcasm in your tone that is perhaps unnecessary. We have a leader that honestly tries to anticipate our needs... 1. Player: Heed Mazzy well, Jaheira. Mazzy: As I was saying, <HE/SHE> has enough trouble keeping this ragtag group together. Perhaps it would be better to be more constructive, and less... Jaheira: Bitchy? Mazzy: If that is how you wish to put it, yes. Jaheira: Worry not for the feelings of <CHARNAME>, small one, as <HE/SHE> and I go far back and have an understanding of sorts. Mazzy: As you will. It was only a humble suggestion. I've no wish to intrude upon your relationship with <CHARNAME>.

Thinking about how Diavolo planted an entire fucking tree, in his fucking hidden childhood hangout spot (protected from anything and everything else in the forest that may try to get to it, mind you, so that is just about the most well-protected tree in the entire devildom--), and of course made sure it grows some of the most Quality apples in hell... Exclusively because he wanted to show Lucifer Devildom apples. What the fuck. That is the gayest thing I've ever heard. And then you find this all out specifically because he turns your little apple picking date with him into Fawning-Over-Lucifer hour, I--
He's pining so fucking hard, man. They're literally so fucking gay. The fact that these two motherfuckers basically canonically have the longest slowburn in fucking History is eating me alive orz
#obey me#obey me shall we date#obey me nightbringer#obey me night bringer spoilers#obey me dialuci#y'all don't understand I'm so fucking ckxjgnxgjfxnxgjxgxgjcgj#the only reason they're not for real gay demon married is because they're dateables in an otome game and not every player likes sharing#it's ok boys i am All About Sharing--#deadass Kuroo is over here when diavolo officially confesses (in og) like “that's great ily too but have you told lucifer that yet??”#“that i like you?”#“no idiot that you like HIM--”#Kuroo is poly asf and literally dating everyone ofc they're playing matchmaker on top of it#they're not gonna sit here having these two idiots pining over their head their whole life ajzjskndjzkd#thinking out loud#rambling in the tags#diavolo#lucifer#kuroo

It's been twenty-one (21) years since Wind Waker, are we SERIOUSLY still doing the "if the graphics don't look edgy it means the game is bad!!" discourse lmao
#echoes of wisdom#legend of zelda#ily but why is ur fandom like this#it's not just new fans from totk- shooting that one down#and i don't mean ^those graphics don't appeal to me personally^#I mean ^I am an adult D:<<<< I can't play this CUTE game D:<<<<^#and ^it means the devs didn't care !! D:<<<^ arguments#cringe is dead#candy is tasty#and touch grass holy shit#o7 to og wind waker fans fr#as an og tp fan I feel the pain (but in an opposite way)#remember when THAT game got flagg for its graphics looking too edgy#cuz it apparently meant the games' not gonna have whimsy

ok so i'm drinking and thinking
i'm gonna do 5 origin runs where i romance astarion, and... 9 runs as astarion where I romance everyone else to see their romances (+ maybe one either as him or tav romancing no one)?? plus i already did a regular tav romancing him, am in the middle of a redeem durge romancing him, and plan to do an evil durge romancing him... so I'll have played this game 12 times by the time i'm done with it??
Larian wtf have you done to me
#astarion#baldur's gate 3#bg3#it's extra funny cause i never ever rewatch or replay things and yet...#this fucking vampire has me by a chokehold#the math might not be mathing bear with me haha#i'm uhh never gonna stop playing this game am i?#fucking obsessed with this damn pale elf pixel man#actually the only exception was Final Fantasy 7 OG remake and crisis core#i played those at least twice each maybe 3 times even#pk plays bg3

Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom or as i like to call it: Repeatedly-Falling-To-Your-Death-Because-You-Forgot-You-Don't-Have-A-Paraglider-Yet Simulator
#“yeah i can make that jump! .why am i falling”#i mean i have one now but like. going from playing endgame botw to early game totk is like. agony. im so weak and frail.#a stiff breeze causes me to keel over and die. ravenous for shrines. i need hearts#i miss mipha's grace. when im phenomenally stupid and kill myself i just dust myself off now the game makes fun of me and tells me game ove#“im too lazy to break these rocks one by one im gonna use a bomb arrow. im probably standing far enough back.” <- final words#og post#legend of zelda tears of the kingdom#loz totk#totk spoilers

Who wants to talk me down from making an oc inspired by the ringside reporter from rhythm heaven cause I sure am one hair away from staying up too late doing just that
#rat rambles#^ guy who has been desperately trying to find uploads of every minigame in japanese but has been struggling like hell#japanese ringside reporter is the only character that matters#also the english marchers dub sucks SO bad I love that game but maybe it wasnt worth bringing back /j#english see saw can stay tho I like them more than the original#also for the record the english reporter is techically just fine I just love the og sm that its all I can listen to lol#tbh I kinda wanna make a bunch of rhythm heaven inspired designs but I dont have enough clear ideas to commit#except for the reporter. Im gonna turn that guy into a fucked up cat#but the tall tappers are another one I wanna make a design based on along with that farmer dude from the second game#oh and the kick guy#and the original japanese isy favorite version for that minigame too btw by a landslide#I tend to preffer the original japanese for most minigames but its generally not by a whole lot unless its marchers or smth#ok rhythm heaven posting done back to sobbing over how close yet so far away I am from remix 10 in fever#I would also play ds but I have no money and am not gonna try playing it emulated(<- already tried (<-suffered))

in almost. exactly 8 hours I finished Lunatea's Veil.... I feel like crying still tbh why did they put two heavy emotional back 2 back oug h
#hoghog awoos#it was sofucking awesome. all ofit#I hadsomuch fun#I'll still play ofc. gonna try to 100% that beast#I died like 3 times 2 Sorrow...#also they messed up Sorrow closing his eyes before he disappears. fucked up how many times iwatched those cutscenes before -#getting the game that I memorized the expressions#and also the dialogue. they changed what Klonoa says before ringing the bell Ithink#they say more than just “I'll help you”. I think the short response was better#and Sorrow's snout has a weird shading thing happening. was v distracting#I hope I get to play the og Lunatea eventually. I would rll like to see the un-messed up cutscenes and knowing I got there by myself#very surprised actually. that I didn't die one million times. I am a true gamer lol#rambling rambling. very tired but Ilove that game

new 2d sonic games coming out this fall apperently ?
#not sure how to feel abt it just watched the trailer. im a modern 'classic sonic' hater sorry.#it just doesnt quite capture what i enjoy abt the og games as well as stuff like advance and rush does (well those more take that and build#it up into its own thing (rush especially) but whatever. it still carries on some general things i enjoy about classic sonic design and#all the more recent stuff ive played has not really been my thing. idk what physics engine theyre using but if its the retro engine i will#probably not like it that shit messes with my muscle memory so bad im sorry. i dont like it i wish i did#also the general visual design/art direction just isnt my thing! im not into that kinda stuff ive always disliked it to an extent#ESPECIALLY in 2d it feels very visually overwhelming but that is probably just a me thing.#also idk if the sound design in the trailer reflects what the game is going to sound like but.did not like it . again a personal preference#so i guess im leaning kinda negative overall MAN i hate that . why am i like this lol sorry#i love sonic games i really do but i just Do Not care for the Big Stuff theyve been doing lately it isntreally my thing#the older stuff just plays to my tastes better u_u#also another thing classic sonic gameplay w 3d models has always felt so ? stilted?#rush doesnt count its its own beast. stilted is probbaly The last thing id use to describe its presentation LMAO#but like. all the sonic generations onwards stuff just feels Weird to look at theres no realkick to it. hell i feel like this abt a few#other 2.5d games that are. 2.5d in the visual sense.it just doesnt click right in a lot of cases#so what im syaing is . 3d bad 2d good /JOKE#the multiplayer seems interesting wonder how thats gonna be handled. also im guessing amy plays how she does in origins here#not sure how she plays there but i m glad to actually see her playable in more stuff! i hope her playstyle is similar to her advance 1#gameplay i love that shit so much geneuinely. its a lot of fun to mess around w#i wanna say im sure the game will be fine but also..... its sonic......... theyre always gonna figure out some way to fuck shit up#<- i say that somewhat lovingly but also it is pretty frustrating since most of it does stem from management issues and time crunch. sigh#okay im just rambling abt sonic nonsense now sorry. i try not to get too invested in everything anymore it was really draining when i was#actively trying to keep up w everything but sometimes smthn comes upand my brain goes back into Sonic Mode /silly#inquisitivewaltz.txt#oh god these tags are so long. im so sorry hgfdhsjgfdhs
