Scoria and Sakura are best friends! It's so cute when I see the things they do together, and it makes me so beyond happy that they both came to live with me so that they could share their lives with each other. They absolutely insist on it, and does so much good for the other.

I can't imagine how else they could have found happiness if things hadn't worked out exactly as they did. Scoria has basically been Sakura's "emotional support snake" while she worked through things from her past I'll never fully know that caused her a lot of issues with panic and fear. Sakura knows this too, and looks out for her sister, the only one she truly trusts and feels completely safe with.

The moment they wake up they both want each other to snuggle and play with. Scoria loves to be affectionate with both me and her sister who seems to have not had this earlier in her life- but Scoria is showing her how nice it is not only directly but demonstrating with me and Sakura also trying, copying what she has seen her sister do.

Sometimes when one goes to check on the other they'll join in on... I'm not even sure what they were doing. But they had a good time while taking a mandated union break from digging tunnels for the isopods.

So happy I get to share in the adventures of these two best friends! It makes me so happy to see them living their best lives together, and being beyond content snuggled together with their found family.

I have this silly little image of recruit!König going to chase Engel one day only for her to whip out a spray bottle and just spritz him with it, the indignant look this man gives upon being sprayed with water. Giving real Meiette vibes

You spray Konig? You spray konig with water like some miss behaving kitten?

NOOO DON'T SPRITZ HIM UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET DICKED DOWN

Seriously, things turn from funny & exciting to vengeful and proud really fast, like if this was a different situation and you were a man, you'd find your testes tied into a bowtie as a reward for this :( But because you're his silly little angel and he's about to bone you, he just settles for wrestling the bottle away from you.

Be prepared to run because you're about to get a taste of your own medicine! And when he gets those stupid clothes off you, he's not going to be that gentle with his dick either >:(

Young recruit is so petty he might even try to one up you by lurking in the bushes one day when you come home, hosing you down when you're minding your own business in that pretty little summer dress. Hah, who's the wet cat now...

You can sob all you want and threaten to tell the Colonel about this but oddly enough, you still let him carry you inside, undress you, and give you a nice, hot bath. There now, that wasn't so bad, was it? Now how about you return the favour and give him a good wash, hmm...? You can seal the truce by kneeling in front of him, just take him in your mouth like the good, obedient little wife that you are <3

(technically, you're the Colonel's wife but that's only on paper, right)

Okay okay, I am not gonna launch a passionate defense of the movie Cabaret at a poor internet stranger who didn't ask. They don't need that. But also *if* most audiences walked out of the theater thinking "wow, nazi germany sucked" and not "wow fascism truly can creep up on us until it's entirely normalized and not all of us will be able to just leave the country when that happens", it was a goddamn skill issue because the movie is very, very clear about its themes.

even baghra was so out of character in the show. "You could have earned her love at one point" look me in the eyes and tell me that old lady believes in love of the romantic kind or in "earning" it PLEASE -

Baghra in the show: "You could have earned her love. 🥺"

Baghra in the books about Alarkling:

Baghra doesn't WANT ANY girl to be with her son. She's like those mothers that don't allow their sons to be in a relationship because they're too possessive with their children. She wants to be the only person in his life.

So where did that line from the show come??

And, in the meantime, the Darkling himself wasn't conceived out of love:

Baghra didn't believe in love, she didn't want it and she didn't want her son to have it as well.

So the writers didn't know shit about the book characters.

here's the thing. yes, some pieces of art are "better" than others. there are many criteria you can measure that with--technical skill, creativity, clarity, conceptual depth, successful execution of the artist's intentions, etc., and i do think it's useful to clarify which ones you're using as a measuring stick. but like, of course you can evaluate art. of course you can be critical (in the "art critic" sense) of art. (among other things, that's one of the most important ways to get better at making art yourself.)

however. when it comes down to evaluating what gets to count as art. what art even gets to have a seat at the table. i will go to bat for the thing that isn't as "good" every single time.

you can say you think a piece of art is bad. you can say you think it lacked technical skill, or clarity, or conceptual depth, and you consider those important elements of a successful work. i might even agree with you. but if you think that means it doesn't matter, someone is going to die on this hill and it isn't going to be me

I think the example of the aqueduct in the Red Canyon alongside with how among Seiros's miracles was creating a canal through Enbarr that was vital to it's growth, couple that with how humanity flourished due to Sothis sharing technology with them, I think the game might be hinting that technology regressed under the rule of Nemesis and the Agarthans, the latter keeping their own tech away from those they deemed as base animals.

TBH I'm always a bit miffed by the "technology" talks, because while Agartha sure kept Sothis' more advanced tech and current Fodlan was supposed to be "age of discovery" developed, we still have magic, like, people can warp around...

Tech in general regressed post Sothis vs Agarthans war, but we don't know how advanced/far Enbarr was before the WoH - of course they didn't have elevators, but indeed, I suppose that, in general, after this war, Fodlan had to rebuild itself without Sothis giving tech bonuses anymore to accelerate the growth and development of humans - and here would come the sci-fi principle of "giving tech when people are mature enough" or something, so maybe the Nabateans wanted to let humans develop themselves first, and then would have helped later on?

I still find it fascinating that when Rhea was apparently "roaming around Fodlan clinging to her desire of revenge", instead of directing the Enbarrites to build thousands of mecha-golems, she... made a canal for them.

I haven't had the time to do anything really halloweeny this year, but I've got some older projects I never shared so... Why not?

I present: my ring holder (plus bracelets).

I made the hand out of polymer clay instead of learning how to make a mold or something cause past me was into suffering apparently (jk I just felt like making a hand. Truth be told it was good practice). Standard procedure, inside is a wire skeleton surrounded by aluminium foil, and then I globbed clay on there and shaped it until it looked right. Which took forever.

This was several years ago now so I could do a better job these days, but I still like it. It's a fun spooky prop with that cauldron I made for it (that's just craft foam. Paint it black, throw metallic paint on top and you're golden).

I actually only started using it for jewelry after my cat threw it on the floor... It hides the cracks.
