I cared for my husband... but I cared for Mai, too.

Just finished Ghost of Tsushima main storyline AND Iki Island DLC.

sighs

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT, OMG

One of the best games I’ve ever played tbh, it was beautiful, I fell in love with Jin Sakai and his character, like, he is genuinely a beautiful person and omg I felt pretty charmed by his resolve throughout the entire game—more men like Jin Sakai please. (yuna youre so lucky girl…)

I’m not much of a gamer myself, kind of I guess, I play when I have free time in my PS5 and when it comes to action games I’m a coward lol idk why whenever I am pushed into a battlefield I freak out (I almost had a heart attack when I started Ghost of Tsushima and the mothafuckers sent straight to fight at Komoda Beach, HELLO? The intro was so beautiful tho…). But Ghost of Tsushima balanced everything very well, and I enjoyed doing NPCs side missions, I felt powerful and badass.

(The way how the fear that the Ghost inflicts on his enemies is portrayed??? Chef’s kiss honestly. And the Records items, especially Conversations with the Khan, I enjoy the lore with so so so so much glee hehe.)

The characters, I fell in love with the characters. I knew I liked videogames when I first played Far Cry 4 and the characters felt so dear to me, and Ghost of Tsushima brought me back to when I was like 9?? and I was playing FC4 on my dad’s PS3. Jin’s story and the rest of the characters’ Tales hypnotized me, idk. The flashbacks, the foreshadowing, the small conservations within Jin and the others…I was sobbing in the ending and in Masako’s and Yuna’s tales. AND THE LOVELY WAY WE GOT SO MUCH APPROACHES TO IMPORTANT THEMES AS WOMEN EMPOWERING, FAMILY, QUEERNESS, TRADITIONALISM, ETC. jin baby you deserve the world.

Ngl, while I was playing the game not only I cherished every single interaction of Jin and his allies/friends, but I was glad he had the time to talk and rest, yk? And that’s why I love Yuna so much, gods.

From what I’ve seen, many ship Ryuzo and Jin, and while I kind of understand and respect Ryuzo, I don’t personally ship them. I was too excited to duel him the moment he was deemed a traitor lol, this game brought out the worst side of me (i was cackling when i got the ghost stance, run fuckers!). I did cry a lot on Iki Island whenever Jin had Ryuzo’s hallucinations, like, ouch, I would hurt forever if a childhood friendship ended like that.

(Talking about Iki Island, Kenji doing a cameo there LMAO, and Jin teasing him with “so you left Tsushima and you didn’t even bothered to say goodbye?” AJDKAKDKAKS YES YOU TELL HIM JIN)

Now, Jin and Yuna??? Muah muah muah, they are soulmates, romantic or platonically or both. Its the way Jin (throughout the story this loyalty builds up, love that) does everything no questions asked when it comes to Yuna, going with her to her tales? Damn Jin straight went and brought her heads! How romantic. The way Kenji was like “he cannot refuse if I tell him Yuna’s waiting”, AND THE WAY JIN HIMSELF OUTRIGHT SAYS THINGS LIKE ‘I would give my life for you’ OR ‘so you and Takeshi…?’ Hehehe they are so precious. They are definitely in love your honor, at least for me.

Wish I could still find the characters in the map or something after the main story ends, I’m at my new home behind Omi Monastery full of nostalgia because Jin’s home is a mosaic of gifts and remembrances of everyone he has known. Yuna’s gift, Ryuzo’s hat, Taka’s hook, Kenji’s sake, First Horse’s saddle (Nobu precious, I wish you had been there with me 😭) and lots of other stuff from Masako, Ishikawa, Lord Shimura, and many others that I don’t remember rn. Like, it is clear Jin loves his homeland, his people, his friends, I’m sure he would have made a perfect Lord, aw.

Thank you for reading my venting. Now, I need fanfics.

Y'all, how do we feel about the doomed yuri in Ghost of Tsushima?

[procrasticus]

Onmatwober day 6 prompt is Yuri

[toomanyf4ndoms7]

Yuna: Everyone is assembled. We are ready to begin the attack.

Ishikawa: Where is Jin? He should be here.

Masako: He said he has business to take care of, then ran away after a golden bird.

Norio: Let us hope that business does not take long.

*meanwhile*

Jin, soaking in a hot spring: I really needed this.

what the hell.

[woundedheartwithin]

Masako Adachi's first name sounds eerily similar to the word massacre.... especially considering *gestures to her family*

Interestingly, the kanji used for her name is 政子. There are a lot of ways they could have chosen to write her name, many that would have fit her well, so it’s really interesting that they chose this one. When I want to understand Japanese names better I like using this website, because I like how it breaks down the kanji with multiple readings, but it’s fair to note that I do not speak or know Japanese, so I’m relying entirely on that website and a Japanese dictionary app on my phone lol. Not that you asked for a breakdown of her name! But I think it’s interesting and wanted to look into it a little

So from Japanese-names.info:

政 means "government, politics."

Governance - The act of governing and managing the world.

Righteousness - To make something right or to change it for the better.

Methodology - A set of rules and standards for carrying out tasks.

There’s a lot to think about here, and I’d really be interested to hear the thoughts of others on this rather than giving my own, but to just brush over in it broad strokes, governance is obvious (her being a noblewoman), righteousness regarding her quest to avenge her family, and methodology regarding her control and single-minded focus on achieving her task (also, to be more meta, she’s also a quest giver). There’s a lot of ways to read deeper into all of this too! Lots of room for nuance and interpretation ❤️

The issue with being entirely caught up on Naddpod is that in-between episodes I now have time to be inordinately invested in other things too so 🙃

I couldn't agree more, Lady Masako

Trying to find a Chinese VC for Cathala, listening to random Chinese voice actresses, when I speak exactly zero Chinese and don't really know what I'm doing
