Joshua Rosfield is a true shield of Rosaria, and I wish that he'd gotten that acknowledgement at the end of FF16.

I want that man to know that he is everything that he looked up to in Clive when he was a little boy. He is brave, he is smart, he is a leader, and despite his frailty, he is not weak.

I want him to know that his brother needed him, that all of his suffering was worth it and appreciated, and that Clive wouldn't have made it very far without him. That he is ultimately Clive's protector and hero, as evidenced when he appeared in Ultima's trap and reminded Clive of who he was.

He even gave Phoenix to Clive in the end, which was a massive sacrifice. Not only was Phoenix keeping him alive, but his Eikon seemed to be the only reason he'd ever felt 'special' or powerful in his life. Sacrificing that to protect his brother was beautiful, considering how against it he was while they were in Ash.

As his English voice actor, Jonathan Case, described, he is "always an Angel, never a God" in a world of gods that made him feel like he wasn't strong enough.

And yet, he never waivers in his resolve, jumping into the fray to help his brother and his friends. He wants to leave them a better world when he departs, since he assumes he's on borrowed time, being born who and how he was.

And yet, he is a defier of fate, and forged his own path in order to love, protect, and ultimately save his brother.

Joshua Rosfield, you are the greatest shield of all.

"At least you still have Varric to talk to."

LMAO

Solas, you asshole.

I love him (but Rook sure doesn't!). 😂

[ringthief]

but yeaaah,

I'm gonna admit I'm having a hard time finishing the story ...now that the hounds are dead...all the interesting 'villains' are gone.... - I do not care about Sombron at all. bwahah..... I will... try to beat the rest this weekend but ..

meeeeh.

I sorta rushed through everything (limited time.. didn't want spoilers rjeifjw) so lumera kicked my butt the first attempt at battle.... is the ending really good??

something I should really see asap? - I'll beat it either way but ... I keep groaning at the grinding ..

[ersatz-anomaly]

It’s impossible. It’s fucking impossible.

You only have 1 hour. It takes a minute to teleport each place. A few minutes to rush everyone to grace street. Biblical lion creature fucking saunters at a leisurely pace, taking 30 fucking minutes to get there unlike the Biblical Ox Creature and Josh who actually arrive quickly.

They take 5 minutes to merge into the stupid fucking egg. The egg cannot be transported back in time. It takes 1 hour to hatch. It takes 1 hour to hatch. It cannot be transported back with you in time. You cannot tell the lion the hurry her ass along BECAUSE ITS A LITERAL EMERGENCY. SHE TAKES HALF AN HOUR TO ARRIVE.

THERES NO WAY TO DO IT.

ITS FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE. NO MATTER HOW FAST I TELEPORT. AND DELETE THE TOP EIGHT SINS.

THE EGG IS ALWAYS READY WITH ONLY TWENTY MINUTES LEFT

YOU CANNOT TALK TO EVE TO AT LEAST FUCKING STALL HER.

YOU HAVE ONE HOUR. YOU CANNOT GET THE EGG READY BEFORE AT LEAST THIRTY MINUTES IN. YOU CANNOT TAKE IT BACK WITH YOU.

I. IT. IT CANT BE DONE WTF IM LOSING MY MIND

THERES A NEW GAME PLUS. BUT. HOW. HOW DO I COMPLETE IT. I DONT UNDERSTAND. IT MAKES NO SENSE.

YOU APPARENTLY NEED THE COMBO GUARDIAN. BUT THERES NO TIME. THERES NO TIMR. FAST RUN AND TELEPORT AND FAST TYPE. IT DOESNT MATTER. LION WALKS SLOWLY TO GRACE STREET. THE EGG CANNOT GO WITH YOU. BUT THERES NO TIME FOR IT TO HATCH. BUT NEW GAME PLUS. I DONT UNDERSTAND. IM SO CONFUSED.

WHAT THE FUCK AM I MISSING

little detail I've picked up on: lucanis seems to like it when rook is smart. not in an academically minded way, necessarily, but when they're clever/analytical and clear-eyed about the practical realities of a matter and able to sort out the bullshit. most immediate example that comes to mind is of course when rook points out to illario that zara physically can't have made it back to vyrantium yet by conventional means in the café scene (where they're also backing what lucanis is trying to say, so the approval there makes extra sense), but it pops up in several other places too where rook cuts through to the heart of a problem with that kind of thinking. his and davrin's approval often overlap, but davrin seems to like it when rook is resolute and practical (and kind but don't tell anyone that sssh <3 ilu davrin), where I get the sense that lucanis gets that extra little thrill when they're also clever. in another contrast emmrich likes it when you're curious and openminded and kind (a lot like solas in da:i really) -- more like a life-long earnest academic *would* think about and value learning and knowledge in terms of a process and way of thinking rather than the results that come out of it -- while i think lucanis kind of likes it (and possibly gets a little ah frisson out of it depending on your relationship with him lol) when your mind is a knife. which I think is really neat. also tracks perfectly with him liking both viago and neve too haha. he clearly enjoys the Thinkers of the world.

what if there were 2 old fucks… can u imagine

[viarayy01-blog]

just waiting for it all to get better!!!!

[flightofthefaeriedragon]

Davrin's death was so meaningful and well done! It was heartbreaking, but it really fit his character.

On the other hand, Assan's death felt cheap, manipulative, and done for the sake of convenience.

It would've been sadder to see him mourn. Or at least to see something more meaningful than "uninjured griffon dives pointlessly into goop."

So I guess Davrin gets to live from now on. Here's to old age as a griffon dad! <3

Sorry, Harding.

I have never been more concerned for a JP update from your art than I am seeing a Cheka knowing the context of Leona’s dream.

My bois ok right?????? My sweet nephews ok right??????

well

uhhhh

I'm sure the real one is fine :)

[thatexygurl]

there's so many things in tsc that just come at you all at once, so it's hard to focus on just one thing to break down, but the most glaring thing that stood out to me is how hard it is to really put someone back together. especially someone so shattered that it's nigh impossible to glue them back and pray they don't crumble under your ministrations.

if jean is neil's foil, then jeremy is andrew's direct antithesis. whereas andrew is a steady bedrock because he's been broken too many times to know how to weather the storm, jeremy is too soft hands and an even softer soul. he cares and cares and cares. so empathetic and so gentle it almost breaks your heart. you pray for the impossibility that jeremy can survive knowing the truth because if he doesn't, then what hope does jean have? so you pray he can be steady too. that he can weather the storm as well. that he will not break when knowing that just under the surface lies shark-infested waters.

but then you remember the beginning. "even knowing everything could go completely sideways, you'd make that choice every time"

in every other universe, jean has not survived. but in every other universe, he did not have the trojans.

"An odd photo of two men in a strange office. Is this somewhere inside of Freddy's?"

Wanted to redraw that one FNAF's Into the Pit achievement/photo about the strange photo, but with my own FNAF designs, with my own little twist on the blanked/scratched out faces.

Plus, I've never drawn them actually together for a photo like this in-universe before, so I had to take the opportunity. Also, happy belated FNAF anniversary. I don't really have anything special since it's been pretty hectic on my end, but I swear, being here for, I don't know, 10 years of FNAF is wild, actually. Cheers!
