Something about how Fire & Ice give up on going after Pearl directly, and instead both arrow in on dissing Marina-

Something about, Pearl having no shame at all, outright telling Frye right off that Off the Hook is here to “take control” and then literally talking over Frye’s turn. Frye’s snarking on how Pearl isn’t the boss here and no one’s cheering for her, ignored. How she goes after both Frye and Shiver asking where Frye’s big friend is to help her pass this test, moving right on to saying they’re both just goons making a mess anyway, little fish who should stay in they're bowl, but

that seems to give Frye the idea of hitting back with the “who’s backing you? Imaginary friends?” line… like Marina doesn’t even count as a music partner- or a friend?

Pearl literally yaps about Marina being divine, one of a kind, voice so fine, big mind- raps the lines off her cuff and the heart that's proudly pinned there

And Frye and Shiver go TARGET DETECTED. They lock onto Marina.

Shiver doesn’t bother trying to needle Marina about Pearl, the way their partners were each doing- if Pearl has no shame then at least she DOES still have a weakness, a soft spot, a thing she openly cares about- something they can try riling her up over

(problem: Pearl actually has all the confidence in Marina as a musician, partner, and performer. She's WATCHED Marina be all those things for YEARS now)

In the end Frye and Shiver just rile up the gay feels. Because Marina’s been living with a rapper who LOVES hyping her up even when they’re not on stage- Pearl who said she’d cut a fish for Marina. And if you don’t come to Inkopolis with a lot of self confidence, well then getting some from your girlfriend is fine too  

But it’s cute that Pearl’s still so obvious about being Marina's no. 1 fan that Fire & Ice thought they could use it against her XD

What would you choose? :0c

(note: original image is from HERE (link) - but I edited it to add a wider variety of options.. also added $3 extra to the total, even though I know that makes it more uneven lol, I thought if you're adding 10 whole extra items, the money to spend should at least be increased slightly, if that makes sense..)

woohoo ! beep bop beep bop ! the anon who requested the latest hurt/comfort here :3 think i will write here more often >< only if you don’t mind ofc ! ! i’ll keep my name as anon bunny now

but omgomgomg can you imagine childe having an even bigger form? like, maybe he has this super duper secret thing just in case for a few very specific battles, where he would need the advantage of being physically,, well,, bigger. taller and stronger. dont mind the sleepy anon bunny, just thinking of how Foul Legacy would look ( in that form ) next to a vertically challenged reader

hehe ~ ><

ahhh hello hello!! i would love to see you pop into my inbox more often, anon bunny, and i hope you liked the fic i wrote!!! :D

consider this: dragon-ish Foul Legacy, with armor-like scales and a form big enough to easily pick you up by the back of your shirt with his mouth. he rarely uses it, the amount of energy it takes for him to maintain such a form usually putting him to sleep for several days afterwards, but you manage to catch him transformed by chance, and oh, you're DELIGHTED! he's even taller than usual, crossing his legs around you as you sit on the ground, toying with your hair with very deep, rumbling purrs. you can only hold one of his claws with your hand, and Legacy delicately prods your shoulder with a knuckle so he doesn't accidentally scratch you, chittering at your surprised laugh. his armor is also even stronger like this, so you can bite and gnaw his wrist and hand to your heart's content

Legacy loves curling around you in this form, easily able to both hold and rest his head on your lap, and now you can give him even better scritches behind his horns!! his rumbles fill the air, almost making you physically shake as he tucks you closer. to him, this is the best way to fall asleep, as he always does after using this form, snuggled up against you with your hands raking through his soft ginger hair. you watch as delicate crackles of violet lightning wrap around him, leaving Foul Legacy back in his normal state and deeply asleep, gently pulling a blanket over his shoulders. you'll stay nestled up beside him for as long as you can- he'll be out for a few days- listening to his soft breaths and grumbles in his slumber before he regains the energy to wake up again

i feel it's so fucking stupid and ungrateful but it still hurts a little when someone gifts me something i just don't like. i don't know. i know it's dumb and inaccurate to astrain that much meaning to a simple gift, but it feels kinda like they don't know me. i guess it feels like people don't see me, like a reminder that the person i reflect and the person i feel like are incredibly different.

[ganondoodle]

also .. you know, thinkign about zelda in totk, considering she just lived throguh a crisis in botw, then makes a huge horrifying discovery and get yoinked into the past of this hyrule right after, in a world thats clearly the same but she knows no one, even if sonia and rauru are distant relatives, they are are still strangers like literally EVERYONE else around her shes lost all of her support system and everything she build up over the years between the games now AND the strangers are wielding incredible power she has never seen before AND are also in a crisis ... isnt kidna logical she'd just kinda .. tag along and do whatever shes told or try to be as inoffensive as she can, i know they mean everyone around her to be nice and helpful but it leaves me feelign a little uneasy still, do you really think she actually chose what she did or did she literally have not other choice-

ok im stopping here you heard enough rants from me :I

[throughpatchesofviolet]

I'll have these moments where I am calm, collected, and feel like I can, in fact, complete all of the tasks I've set out for myself, and then I'll get home and completely lose all that motivation.

Danmei Rec Meme!

How long have you been into danmei, how did you get into it / what was your first danmei?

I read MDZS in 2018 if that counts? But otherwise I saw Global Examination randomly mentioned in around September last year and thought it looked interesting. Read the manhua, enjoyed it, continued with the novel and have been randomly reading stuff since. (English Vol 1 is open for preorders btw!)

Favourite danmei?

Global Examination by Mu Su Li

Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin by Qi Jing Nan Qu

Favourite couples / characters?

Don't have a particular answer so I'll go with the two MCs from my first two faves above :D You Huo and Chi XiaoChi. Competant, badass, rebellious, q_q puts themselves at risk to help others. JiuHuo and LouChi are both very soft and adorable and wholesome ships that fight their way to be together q_q.

Most recently read danmei?

I'm currently reading After The Tyrant Differentiated into an Omega?

Any favourite authors?

Meatbun Doesn't Eat Meat 肉包不吃肉 Her writing is just so intense! So much drama, so much angst, so many tears. For mature audiences only! If you've haven't read any of her stuff see content warnings beforehand.

Other authors I’ve eyed: Cyan Wings 青色羽翼, A Lifetime of Beautiful Clothes 一世华裳

Any popular danmei you aren't particularly a fan of?

Hmm. I haven't been able to get into any of Priest's works. Might be the writing style, I managed to finish Mo Du which was nice but somehow just don't feel satisfied :X

Also I liked MDZS and TGCF but didn't particularly enjoy SVSSS.

Anything you've been meaning to read but still haven't?

Ballad of Sword and Wine / Qiang Jin Jiu - tried a few times but finding it hard to get through the narration / heavy world building. Will try again at some point.

The Earth Is Online - struggling to keep interested in the beginning chapters

Choose a random (the weirder and baitier, the better) memorable scene/danmei to describe!

MC has a dream where ML is tied up. Has no idea why. Dreams materialise. Wakes up and finds Dream!ML tied up. ML also wakes up, and sees his Dream!MC glaring at them. *Awkward silence* Dream!ML starts flirting with MC. Everyone is horrified.

Are there any particular genres / tropes you enjoy / don't enjoy? Aka - any useful info for people to send you recs ;D?

I am a sucker for amnesia tropes and hidden identity tropes. Also tend to appreciate light hearted narration / comedic undertones. Which probably explains my two faves lmao. Mystery and angst keep me going.

Any recommendations to give? Badly describe them in 2 sentences. (Or however you like, your choice.)

Trying to avoid popular ones so here goes!!!

Global Examination - Infinite flow. 2 madmen on opposite sides bond over their mutual fondness for setting things on fire. They both have amnesia from a few years ago? How suspicious...

Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash Bin - My favourite Quick Transmigration. MC and his system break up toxic relationships in other worlds whilst MC still processing the grief of losing his belated childhood crush who passed away over 10 years ago and left him traumatised.

Any of Meatbun's novels (2ha/The Husky and his White Cat Shizun, Yu Wu/Remnants of Filth, bab/Case File Compendium) - Too much angst and too many plot twists.

Record of the Missing Sect Master - Fun shameless schemeing MC gets revenge by pissing off all the antagonists and uncovering conspiracies while ML fondly indulges him.

Mr Melancholy Wants To Live A Peaceful Life - Overpowered but retired MC who is hiding his superpowered identity wants to live a peaceful life, but ML who is also hiding his superpowered identity keeps getting forced to go to work (work = saving the world). In an attempt to get ML to work less, MC hires suspicious people to start a money laundering business.

Breaking Through the Clouds - More realistic/serious tone compared to others on this list. Modern urban crime solving.

Married Thrice to a Salted Fish

Devil Vernerable Also Wants To Know

Transmigration into the Heartthrob's cannon fodder childhood friend / Everyone Loves The Cannon Fodder - modern school life

The Disabled Tyrant's Beloved Pet Fish

”neon genesis evangelion is confusing” is actually a statistical error. most people have basic media literacy and understand what the show literally fucking spells out to you. no media literacy georg, who cannot understand basic storytelling tools, is an outlier adm should not have been counted.

stop saying people's art are better than yours !!! if you wanna make a comment about it just tell them you want to incorporate some aspects of their style into your own or smth like that bc talking shit about your art at someone is weird !! especially if you point out that theyre younger than you !!! you gotta know your art isnt terrible you just havent practiced certain techniques you want to see in your own work !!!!!! be proud of the progress youve made even if its the first step of a fetus jfc !!!! have respect for your own art no matter how bad it might look to you

[memoryoflooping]

Making fanfiction for something you haven't consumed is so scary to me. I thought you make fanfiction because you are a Fan of the Fiction you cannot have all the nuances that a person who has actually consumed it would have. Not even w a secondhand source a secondhand source is the devil and will have biases you can't perceive

Authentic Story of the Shining Force - Saint Fencer Max - Chapter 4

Translation notes:

This is the last boob joke. We're free at last.

Here's the retranslation of every scene with the Spring of Recollection in the game. Overall, her speech here is fairly close to what she says in Waral in-game, with a few details from her final appearance sprinkled in, like her care for Cain. It does misses a few nuances though, like the Legacy being more than just Dark Dragon.

I don't think I've ever seen art of the Spring, but notably, she gets a portrait in the GBA version, and it looks a lot like the manga design, with the slightly wavy hair and especially the blank eyes.

Obviously, the manga rushes through the plot since it's short, thus a lot of places are skipped. I didn't even feel like pointing them out before. However I will point out Waral not being here this time, because Waral happens to not be in the beta map either, and it has very contradicting lore between the ASCII guide and the World Book, meaning it might have not been well developed. Besides, Chapter 5 is very weirdly structured. You get two ship battles that are basically the same, you get to Waral by accident, you advance the plot by going to Ring Reef for no reason and everyone telling you it's off-limits while letting you waltz in anyway, and hardly anything happens in the shrine besides you hearing about the Manual, which is not even a big deal because you get to Rudo by accident later (two ship accidents!! why repeat this plot point!!) and would go to Dragonia anyway to help Bleu. Basically, I obviously can't prove it, but it wouldn't surprise me if the ocean shrine was initially thought off as only a plot scene, and the battles/town added much later for gameplay reasons.

Perhaps worth mentioning, the GBA version also makes a point to mention that Max got lost in the shrine alone, and everyone was worried about him, which does remind me a lot of the ship scene here.

uh oh. i hit image limit for the first time and i don't wanna remove either of these pics. more notes on a reblog later.
