[imafuckinstar]

i could never be a demigod because quests are literally only for morning people. like why do i have to wake up at the ass crack of dawn just to head to my imminent death with a side of eternal damnation. waking up that early is already punishment enough for paying the debt of my half-godly existence.

Can't stop thinking about @arthurianprompts idea of Puppet King Yvain. Had to rough out a throne concept. I'm gonna be thinking about this AU for a while...

[meteortrails]

I think a lot about that one scene where Kirk is like lol you didn’t think I could be that logical did you 😏 and Spock is like honestly? no. I didn’t. to which kirk immediately makes the Saddest fucking face. 1) hysterical, get wrecked, and 2) oh you want Spock to like you SO BAD buddy. but the thing that a gif set cannot convey to you is that this comes at the very end of one of the honestly more tonally baffling Star Trek episodes, in which the population of an entire star system gets wiped out and it’s barely even mentioned, Kirk calls himself a robots mommy, and Uhura gets brain wiped and has to be retaught how to read and write but it all gets taken care of offscreen and she’s fine by the time the episode ends. so like you sit through 45 minutes of That, and the most genuinely hurt you see Kirk at any point is when Spock mildly insults his intelligence. they just don’t make television like this anymore!

The image of Lucifer crying on Charlie's shoulder with the same blown out watery eyes she had with Angel at the end of episode 4 is actually sending me! XD

It's so funny to imagine!

Yeah, he strikes me as a crier.

And you just know she inherited those big beautiful eyes from her dad. I also think Lucifer can swing wildly back and forth from 'pretty crier' to 'ugly crier' with zero in-between.

Oh! I'm glad you liked the au of Immortal husbands + Omegaverse + Ghost king + Space shit (unless you mind, I'll call it Space Era of Earth AU, or just SEE AU). I put more thoughts in it.

The Phantom family has seen how ex-Homeland, the Earth, exploded. They had to- They had to record it to next generations of people know for what they fight for if the war will take centuries. After all, this will be the only media source of the Earth's History. The evacuation took place in a short period of time, people was too focused on transfering more important information.

In opposition to Dani her brother is close to people (I let you come up with his name, I'll just call him "S" for Son). S was born in Japan when old traditions and the strict discipline was on the peak as consequence of the World Demographic Depression in the end of XXI century. Ghosts always knew S as a son of King, people — as a son of great businessman/scientist/chose a proffesion Vlad-san. This is why he grew up a beta. In so far as S is close to the human world, he always fell in love with them. But he had a sex only once and it was trausmatic experience for both. Everything was fine until the moment S cummed inside her. Sperm came through a condom and hurt his love very strictly. He remembered, dad Danny advised to take an ecto-filter on a date. So, he used the liquid and hell pain was gone. Just imagine: you had a wonderful sex with your beloved, the first sex, but your cum make her scream in pain. It was their last date. Danny dated had a sex with one girl before Vlad, so, he knew it would happen but let S find it out himself. S finally understand Danny's advice to find an attractive ghost. But he is too far to ghosts, so, he'll always fall for humans.

I imagine those evil aliens as something between Qu from All Tomorrows (https://youtu.be/imNtSPM3-r4?si=ON7nkG1KstIfULJo) and aliens from Alien Stage by VIVINOS (https://youtu.be/VgPo3q01kbg?si=p5Xa7MlXjKC3tKc1). Less cruel than Qu but still powerful.

HC that family life soften Vlad's heart back. And when the first attempt to mutate people into halfas failed with a scandal (c'mon! there's is very little humans left, you can't kill them for fun), make a little break in his core. Vlad finally wondered why there weren't more artifical halfas, despite over 50 years of GIW experiments. They never survived. When he investigated his family's DNA (the reaction halfa's clear DNA and human's DNA on radiation), he was horrified the fact that 2-5 different nucleotide in his genom and he could die, too. I see it as there are sites that bind with ghost radiation of a certain wave and this radiation forms an armor that saves the genome and the whole cell from destructive radiation.

Land 1 done!

Without crossing the bridge to get rekt'd by the final boss and trigger a bad ending, of course :p

I know the game puts more emphasis on gameplay than on characters, unlike, say, FE 8x2, but damn if every little situation you recruit random characters makes me think of past FE events in different titles and it just... fits? Somehow?

Like, evil empire has trouble conquering a party of Cornia, but behold! A mysterious plague pops up, that is totally not tied to the shady as fuck necromancer who works with the evil empire and says it'd be annoying if people find a cure.

So we have some guy and his army of cleric wearing plague doctor masks trying to find a cure by, uh, experimenting/working on people who already caught the plague, even accepting to work with the evil empire because curing the plague is more important, right?

Ends justify means yadda yadda... save for the part I earlier mentionned, that it is heavily implied the evil empire is the one who created that plague to begin with!

Now, imagine in a FE game if, in the background, we had to rescue people or hear about people being afflicted by a strange and unknown disease... and if that disease was engineered by people for a further motive...

8x2? Nah.

We also have quests where people are fighting for the evil empire who is occupying their land because they believe as long as they obey their people won't be put to the sword...

(I watched my bro play the final chapter, we know how it ends lol)

Not!Cyril fighting against bandits, finding and helping a witch fend off people who are trying to "catch her" - we even get a flimsy excuse for a bikini attire in the process and an answer to the "why do i use spells to rejuvenate myself in a sexy body? It's because I won't be able to move as fast as I can now if I was a crone" other flimsy excuse, etc etc.

Now it's time to enter the land of fucked up siblings relationship (sure Virginia is Alain's cousin - who looks like his mom - and can end up with him, but this is not the kind of Jugdralian stuff I had in mind) and let me tell you, all those plot bunnies I had in Jugdral about Lester believing he was going to become Lord of Jungby all of his life, only to have his role/throne snatched before his eyes by a bum who's apparently his cousin and can use the legendary shiny bow of legend is... basically Drakengard (Drakenhold in english?), but up to eleven.

Ah, and it wouldn't be a post from me if I don't find a way to rant about the localisation lol

Josef, upon meeting Virginia, basically goes in the audio "it's been a long time since I last saw you". In the english version?

Like what are you implying Josef, she wasn't a princess when you saw her last time or didn't have the "standing" fit for a princess?

Besides, I hope the release of the october book won't blow a hole in the Josef's "you were a teenager when we last met" by releasing character ages, but that's not really that important.

This however

Alain greets his long lost cousin, nothing wrong here right?

Well, in the JP audio, he calls her with the "hime" suffix, showing as much deference as Josef, who is a retainer of the royal family. Virginia doesn't use any suffix because that's her, but in Alain's various support convos, we learn that he had to learn and to behave like a proper noble after escaping from his castle 7 years ago, and all this noble/formal stuff is something he doesn't use with his commoner friends.

Ergo, this minor thing here is important, especially in the Drakengard themes : siblings/relatives used to be close, but reuniting after a long period of time or several life changing events, they are changed and even if they want and try to, cannot be as close as they once were.

I love how Eteocles & Creon's relationship and Polynices & Adrastus's relationship are similar

it feels like a mad dog & its middle-aged owner

And like Eteocles and Polynices are opposite of each other...? Creon and Adrastus could be opposite of each other as well

idk like uncool winner and cool loser??

And they also have some crazy prophet who hates the dog so much

CIARÁN HINDS in The Lost Son (1999)

[talaofthevalley]

Slapped in the fucking face by the concept of Dr. Kogami starting the Hanoi Project and subsequently creating the Ignis to cure Ryoken of an illness.

Like imagine. His wife is gone, his only remaining family left is his son. He'd promised on his wife's deathbed he'd protect their son in her place too and make sure he grows up happy.

Then Ryoken's health starts declining. And the symptoms are hauntingly familiar.

Turns out what took his wife is about to take their son too, the child she loved more than anything. If she were still alive, it would devastate her.

And Kogami, on the verge of despair and about to lose everything, decides no. Not again. Not their child, still so young. He will do anything, so long as it saves Ryoken's life. Even the unspeakable.

He didn't account for Ryoken hearing the children's cries.

And the guilt Ryoken carries now. The Lost Incident happened because of him. All those kids were abducted and tortured because of him. Then his father was taken away only to return home three years later in a coma. Becase of him.

And now his dad, his only family, is asking him to use the life given to him to right the mistake Kogami made.

And what else can he do but fulfill that request no matter what when this is all his fault to begin with.

Sidenotes:

While his life is no longer at risk, Ryoken still feels the effects of his illness. His immune system is garbage, achy muscles, gets short of breath easily, dizzy spells. But while this matters little in Link Vrains, Ryoken would still rather be outside in the real world.

Spectre helped take care of Ryoken after the latter took him in, still in the middle of recovering. He's now hyper aware of Ryoken's health as a result.

Ryoken met Yusaku when he snuck out of the house. He was allowed out very rarely for fear he'll get worse, and even then never by himself, but the adults are rarely free to go with him, so he sometimes sneaked out. After he almost collapses outside, Yusaku walks him home. Ryoken stopped sneaking out after that.

On the more positive side Ryoken definitely knows the importance of treasuring life after thinking he was going to die as a child and at some point getting so ill he struggled leaving bed.

There's just something about Henry's attitude in the first game I love so much

[gottagobackintime]

What did I decide to do as I’m waiting for the new episode of The Pitt to drop? I decided to rewatch the episode of ER where Carter and Kem loses their baby… because I hate myself apparently…

Me every time I watch that episode:
