I don't know how everyone isn't also always constantly thinking about how burial rites seem to be potentially one of the few things Siffrin instinctively remembers about their culture. But rest assured. I am in fact always thinking about it.

Textless version where they're just hanging out. It's fine!

Had the dumbest conversation with my sister and it reminded me of these two. Sending a resume including SCUBA ocean diving certifications without context while applying for a job seems like something Wind would do.

Day 2: Time> Until it runs out

[walkingstackofbooks]

Every time I watch Shore Leave, I become more convinced that Ruth is dead.

Like, Jim's hellbent on chasing after Sulu, Yeoman Barrows has just been attacked, and then he stops for these flowers with a look of wonder on his face?

My theory is that he's terrified he'll be too late and something will attack Sulu, he thinks something along the lines of "how many more flowers will I have to lay on graves?" and then he sees the exact flowers he lays on Ruth's grave and he has to stop and take one and smile sadly.

And then the whole conversation with Ruth, I mean... Yeah, it does make sense if they were once together and then broke up, but the /pain/ and /longing/ in his eyes, man.

(Also this leaves open the possibility that because he's already seen one dead loved one on this planet, after McCoy is "revived", he might be half-convinced that the McCoy who came back was just a reconstruction because he wanted to see him, and the real Bones is still just as dead as he was. Oh, I want to write this fic so badlyyyy.. if it wasn't a work night ...)

My thoughts on Romance options in Horizon 3

DISCLAIMER: This isn't me bashing ships or anyone's opinions, if this does come off as such, I apologise as this is genuinely not my intent. It's totally fine to ship Aloy with someone else, and view her however you want, this is just me sharing my thoughts on romance options and why I believe Aloy and Seyka are a good pairing. Also my opinions aren't fact, please don't harass me over anything, you can just not agree and move on with your life. (Also I do like other ships, but Aloy/Seyka are my personal fav)

(Also a note to toxic Seyka fans, I'm not defending you, you can not like a ship, but you shouldn't harass others over it, it's rude and genuinely harmful)

I personally don't think that having romance options for multiple characters in the 3rd Horizon game would be beneficial to the story or fit with Aloy's character. This is because of how flashpoints work and what Burning Shores has set up for the 3rd game. To just get it out of the way, if GG wanted Aloy to be in a romantic relationship with a pre-existing character, they would've showed or implied it already to set it up for the future. If romance options worked similarly or exactly how flashpoints do (choosing what part of Aloy's personality is expressed at that moment, not what she thinks of something), it would feel weird because it would imply that Aloy had developed feelings for all of the romance options. To me, this would make Aloy feel like less of an individual person or character, and more like the player choosing who she likes and what she thinks of characters.

This leads into why I believe that Aloy and Seyka work as a pairing in canon. (again, just my own opinion, you are totally allowed to disagree). To me, the reason that Aloy likes Seyka is because of how similar they are, but the key difference being that Seyka cares for her people, regardless of how they think of her. Before breaking Quen law, Seyka fully belonged in the tribe, this is clear when walking around Fleet's end in many scenes with her, and when exploring Heaven C's location and Heaven's Rest. Everyone in fleets end knows Seyka, and they no longer fully respect her after breaking the law, despite her good intentions. She still cares about them and her missing people, even if they didn't want to be saved. This dedication and care for those who are ungrateful for it is why Aloy likes Seyka, because Aloy wouldn't have put up with the Quen's bullshit like Seyka did, and she admires her for that. Another reason that Aloy likes Seyka is because Seyka doesn't have any preconceived view of Aloy. She doesn't know Aloy is a clone of Elisabet (She doesn't even know who Elisabet is, unlike Alva), or the Savior of Meridian, Tenakth Champion, Anointed of the Nora, etc. She just knows Aloy as Aloy, with no pre-existing image or knowledge of how many tribes value her.

I won't yap on for longer since this is already a lot, just to summarise: I don't think romance options would work outside of Seyka, they would feel unnatural for Aloy's character and wouldn't benefit the story. I also believe that Seyka's ability to put up with her tribe's bs about her breaking the law to help them, as well as not knowing about Aloy's list of titles and preconceived images of her are two of the reasons why Aloy likes Seyka. Again, you are totally allowed to disagree with me on anything, I do not intend on invalidating ships, just please don't harass me.

[ID: A drawing of two SeaWing dragons from Wings of Fire facing each other. Tsunami has her back to the viewer and is smirking with her ear tipped forward. She has mostly medium blue scales with dark blue along her spine and snout. Some of her aqua blue bioluminescent face scalers are lit up. She is smirking at Whirpool who floats in front of her. He looks stunned by the audacity of what she is saying in aquatic. His green-yellow scales are lighter on his belly and darker on his back. He has large ears for a SeaWing, which are adorned with several large hooped earrings each. Over his left eye, he has a small golden monocle which is suspended in place by a fine metal chain attached to one earring and one eye brow ring. Between them, in glowing and floating letters, it spells 'Squidface'/ End.]

The scene that made me laugh is when Tsunami learns how to speak Aquatic and the very first thing she learns how to do is basically swear. Headcannon that squidface is the SeaWing swear that functionally means dickhead. Which I think fits Whirlpool well. I tried to make him as oily as possible. His ears normally droop under the weight of all the hoops. But he's so surprised that they're sticking up quite a bit. He also has some big ears for a SeaWing. All the better to put more hoops in. I may do a bit of a redesign at some point and give him gages because that would be sweet.

Love Tsunami. Next up is a scene that made me cry.
