I almost forgot, but the person that comment-reviewed EB also asked others their "in series relation ranking," and someone ranked the whole of SaGa 1-3 above SSG, and someone questioned them on that. It was kind of hilarious to me, but I also agree! And specifically, they couldn't believe that someone ranked SaGa 3 above SSG (or maybe any game!). That makes me wanna bust a rib from laughing so hard! But it's also kind of annoying.
Whenever people say they like Unlimited SaGa or SaGa 3, people act like they're freaks or have to have so many stipulations. And the funny thing is, this person ranked SaGa 1-3 so well because it is an old school JRPG with towns, NPCs and the like. And I feel that! People rag on SaGa 3 a lot, especially if it's the GB version, but it does actually feel more fully fledged and fleshed out to me than EB does in many ways. (Shocking!) But if that's one thing I hate about SaGa fandom (nowadays), is that you're not allowed to like the black sheep titles half the time.
#the person also said dungeons#and let me say! gameboy dungeons could be hard and frustrating#but most of them are still better than emerald beyond's fake ass dungeons#and even still better than most of the nonsense that is RSMS#i actually love the concepts of many of rsms's dungeons#but they're trash mechanically and sometimes in how obtuse they are to interact with#and that to me is terribly suited to games as hard combat-wise as the saga games are#saga frontier dungeons are barely a perfect middleground to me#and that's often with being able to carry over stuff into ng+!#but the light and shadow dungeons were fun and well thought out#shrike was... shrike#i loved the ancient ship but those are it#very curious about us and sf2's dungeons#rs1-3 are nightmares to me because of movement speed and the amount of enemies lmao but inoffensive otherwise!#but that really is the difference!#i'll “accept” rsms dungeons even if i don't think they're as good as saga 1-3 or sf's!#but i hate eb's shitty attempt at dungeons with how they structured delta base and a couple of other worlds#definitely wanted to have their cake and eat it too and i don't like it

not normal about orpheus and eurydice. you loved someone so much it opened the stones of the underworld. so much that death had to listen. so much that everything stopped for your love. so much that you turned around. so much that even when you did wrong. she forgave you.
#orpheus and eurydice#hadestown#maybe#maybe not#greek mythology#mythology#i think loving someone that much is the most human thing you can do#i think that’s what it means to be a person#not romantically#not necessarily. even a friend. a family member#orpheus#eurydice#hades#persephone#shrike speaks#taking back what i said about love making you human. it doesn’t#but i think it’s a beautiful experience.#so. much happiness is wished upon the loveless aspecs i spoke to a while back :)

the rosy-patched bushshrike is a passerine bird found in a wide range throughout africa. they prefer subtropical to tropical dry scrubland habitats. their coloration differs throughout their range, though all members of the species display some bright red coloration. they primarily hunt insects for food, but also feed on berries, fruits, and small rodents and reptiles.

Grey Reaper ( Lanius excubitor ) " My sweet summer child, what do you know about horror, about fear? Let me tell you a story about the Grey Reaper. The story of how I lost my only brother. It happened on the last day of October, long before you were born and I was still a young girl. My grandfather told me a story about an old beast, he called it the Grey Reaper. The beast appeared only during the autumn preceding the most harsh and long winters. Reaper hunted during the day, while everyone was working in the fields, members of our tribe disappeared without a trace. I always thought these stories were just fairy tales, until one day I saw him with my own eyes! Together with my brother and father we were gathering nuts for the winter in an old orchard. Suddenly everywhere fell eerily silent, in the forest and the field. Then, I heard a terrifying croak, the air whistled, the grass around me bent. I turned around and looked into the cold, black eyes of the beast. Those black empty eyes haunt me to this day. One moment later the beast flew away with my brother in its claws. Everything happened so fast, and at the same time as if time was frozen. My father grabbed his backpack and a spear and ran after the beast, straight to its lair, trying to save my brother! It was a place from the worst nightmares. The smell of blood and death was everywhere. To reach the place where the beast rested, one had to fight their way through a maze of thorny branches on which the Reaper impaled his victims. I tell you my child, many beasts roam these forests, many predators threaten us and hunt us for food... but the Reaper did it for fun! Father returned to us badly wounded, unfortunately it was too late for my brother. Father never spoke of what happened there and we never asked. No one has seen the Grey Reaper since. But I'm still afraid to go out into the fields and orchard in the fall, the beats still haunt me in nightmares, I'm still afraid he'll come back..."
I remember when many years ago, I first heard about the Great Grey Shrike and its habits, I couldn't believe it! Since then, this bird has always fascinated me and stimulated my imagination. Especially in the context of how terrifying its habits must have been for the creatures like gnomes. I always wanted to place this bird in the "Furry Demon" stories / universe, and I finally did! Nature is truly extraordinary. If you haven't heard of the Great Grey Shrike ( Dzierzba Srokosz ) before, I recommend checking it out, but it's not for the faint of heart :)) Cheers! work process: https://jrozalski.com/projects/AZQqZN
