#it felt so enchanting

I'm unsubbed currently but the girls will be back next month. For now I'm doing what I love best, spending time outdoors! 🌷

Thinking about how Daniel made the photo of him with Pierre and Patrick as the first image in that dump. He could’ve made it the helmet swap with Oscar, a group photo, or the 3 on the garage floor. Any of those probably would’ve made more sense from an engagement or aesthetic standpoint. But no he specifically chose a candid moment with the two guys who were with him every second he was in that car. Two guys who would be relatively unknown to the casual fan, but who were integral to Daniel and shared the ups and downs of this journey with him.

there's a lot of things to love about the pjo series, and I do love all of it, however. in this third episode, watching the pegasus (pegasi?) just hanging around and existing? inexplicable childlike wonder.

thinking about lucretia adventurezone and grinding my teeth down to the gums because holy fuck dude. holy shit. she was impossibly, horribly young on the starblaster. three hops and a jump from being a fucking baby. the two-sunned planet is devoured by the hunger in the same year that she graduates from high school. she is easily the youngest of the birds, even considering the differing rates of aging amongst the rest of the crew. teenaged astrophysicist, wizard, author, artist, without ties solid enough back home to keep her from the starblaster's maiden voyage. she writes and rewrites every moment she can wring from her memories into enough notebooks that it's damn near arthritis-inducing to step within 50 feet of the stacks upon stacks of field notes, of detailed accounts and gentle, domestic benignity. she loves and she loses and it still can't ever prepare her for the next decade. a century dwarfs the time she spends alone running the bureau, but the sheer magnitude of her loss is incomparable. lucretia learns to live in the stolen century, learns to rely on others, learns to trust and care and laugh and build, create, sacrifice, indulge. she pries these things away from herself in the name of a greater good, to what she believes to be their only hope. she sees the agony they're in, and she inadvertently compounds that anguish when she tries to fix it. she is 18 and 118 when she feeds fisher her journals. she is 30 and 130 and 50 and 150 when taako holds a staff to her chest and counts down like it means anything to her anymore that she dies. maybe it's atonement, but even that sounds far too holy a word to describe it. her brother grips her life in his hands, and she thinks it's only fair that he is the one to soundly smother it at last. the lonely journal-keeper is so young and so impossibly old and she is so, so tired. her family will outlive her by centuries. she will be a fine powder, dust beneath the crust of the planet, long before she believes their forgiveness will ever be known. if that day comes at all. everything she has ever done is soured by a guilt so weighty that she spends every day trying to play damage control with the havoc she feels solely responsible for having wrought. she lives within the confines of dichotomy, of red and blue and good and bad, even when she knows she's lying through her teeth, because its easier to live with herself (it's not) when she justifies it, when everyone else lives and dies by the idea that she got it right. she spends 12 years alone, sitting in the thick of her own grief. she mourns men who are right in front of her face. she sees the way they have changed, so fundamentally, sees the ways her choices have ruined them. 12 years is such a long time to be alone. 12 fucking years. she ages 32 in the same span, shedding decades in wonderland in the blink of an eye, and she knows she's running out of time. she's willing to give up whatever she has left, without question. lucretia loves so fiercely and so unquestionably and still she believes herself to be irredeemably cruel when really she was just so scared, tethered to any sense of hope only by the idea that she was doing right by her family. in a position that no one should have to be in, a situation that virtually no one else could truly understand. she was so young and she suffered so, so much. more than any person should. she is flawed but she is not the monster she convinces herself she has become. lucretia adventurezone they could never make me hate you lets kiss on the mouth ok?

I love how much Kab haunts the lore on After Hours. She’s not there, but she owns Allrich and Phea’s souls. She controls every action they make. She makes the rules, and they have to follow them even when she’s been gone for weeks. Phea comments Multiple times about how Kab hasn’t been around. How they miss her (even if they shouldn’t.)

Because Kaboodle is on Lifesteal now- she’s found more people to mess with. Phea’s left in an empty base that belongs to Kab. Her soul is missing, and she doesn’t even want it back, because she still genuinely wants to be friends with Kab!! Even if she’s busy, even if she hasn’t thought about them.

Allrich and Phea are left without souls, for who knows how long. Until Kaboodle decides to pay them a visit again. They still can’t talk to Psyan without arguing, and they’re veryy Slowly buying back everything Kab (and Branzy) gave away. She could log on at any moment and change the entire course of the server within seconds. A single “Phea, say mean things to Kantje.” And it ruins an entire possible friendship.

And she’s just gone. And Phea can’t even hate her for it! (It’s okay, Allrich resents her enough for the both of them.) Psyan is left without any real friends or a team, and they all miss each other SO much, but there’s nothing they can do while Kab owns Phea and Allrich’s souls. They keep talking about “When we’re friends with Psyan again,” and then everything they’ll be able to do together again. They can’t rebuild a guild farm Without him, they refuse.

They also finally acknowledged how Psyan has never stopped wearing gold armor and it’s sooo. They’re all really sad and bitter about each other. They make me sick.

pathfinder 2 stuff

I was originally a little upset with the Player Core 2 remaster of the alchemist class because my character’s specific strategy relied HEAVILY on making most/all of my alchemical items during daily prep, but the remastered alchemist moved way far away from the stuff you make during daily prep and focuses SO much more on your on-the-fly stuff with your versatile vials and your Quick Alchemy, but after some very, VERY careful reading of the rules, I’ve come to the realization that you can, in fact, use a Quick Alchemy-sourced poison to dose a weapon and not necessarily attack with it in the same round, since the “stays potent until start of next turn” thing is just talking about how long you have to Activate it, not how long the effects actually last. Which means that I can keep my current strategy of poisoned bombs! (You just gotta multiclass barbarian and pick up the elemental rage that lets you do extra slashing damage on a hit, and then you take Raging Thrower so it works on your thrown weapons, and there you have it! Now any arbitrary bomb that does any kind of damage can still deliver an injury poison!)

overall, now that I’ve solved that particular little problem, I’m willing to say that I think the remaster is generally an upgrade for alchemists. I like the mechanic for regaining versatile vials during exploration, I like the fact that everyone gets to automatically shift alchemical DCs to their class DC, I like that the at-will stuff scales better than Perpetual Infusions did, and I like the fact that the toxicologist gets “fuck you, you’re immune to poison but you ain’t immune to MY poison” at level 1. (Also, multiclassing into alchemist is a thousand times more effective now, since although you get fewer infused items per day, they actually scale in power now, and I’ll take that quality-over-quantity change any day.)

When I first heard about the remaster, I was a bit skeptical because tbh it did seem like just a cash grab, but overall I’m willing to say that they’ve made enough meaningful changes to a lot of classes (especially in PC2) that I feel like it was worth the effort.

wonder if they’ll ever remaster the dark archive classes and the secrets of magic classes…

alternate version beneath because I can't decide which I like better (the only difference is the highlight on her face to be fair but still)

Mel is very solidly in the 'literally always busy' zone right now but that doesn't mean she won't make time, depending on what it's for

I bet GG was rewatching Suku vs Maho anime fight + blasting Malevolent Shrine's OST when he drew this (and the past) chapter.

You're more amazing than rules

Working on Modified Set 2.0! I've made some commons today and the ally-color archetypes are:

Auras

Modified

Equipment

Supplies

And Enchantments

A lot of these probably really need the context of the enemy-color archetypes to make sense, but this post is already long. One little hint: Red also gets Resonance creatures, but Differently.

I shouldn't say stupid. Untrained in literary analysis/out of practice.

...And with miniscule background on Kafka the man, which literary analyses I'm reading seem to depend on utterly, rather than just having the works stand on their own. From what I'm reading, I love this strange and anxious man.

Short yet densely allegorical is also not my forté, and what it's saying is not of any particular interest to me.
