Entity Eppreciation

Ok so y'all already know I'm a huge fan of entity and their characters and writing I'll Never Leave Your Side was a blast and an experience I yearn to feel again. But at the same time, Insomnia, the first chapter, sucked out a lot of energy and I'm pretty exhausted when it comes to writing.

In hindsight, I'm taking a small hiatus to recuperate my drive and gain some more ideas of the inevitable chapter 2. But at the same time, for nearly 2 years I had been working on it and placing down a couple breadcrumbs before stopping entirely to focus on the story.

I believe this was a poor choice since it left many of you in the dark and probably ended with you eventually losing interest. Once I begin to write again, I want to show y'all a couple teasers for the upcoming chapter so that not only you know I'm still active in writinf but it'll get you excited and perhaps some more eyes on it as well!

Anyways I hope this post finds you in good spirits, have a lovely day! (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤

Is the baby gonna be boy, girl, or gn in the story? I’m hoping boy since they are to be heir and stuff, but gn is fine too!

ah, actually, the baby is prewritten to be a girl! Sorry, anon😔 i see what you mean by the heir thing, though. That would’ve been really cute! sadly, i am nothing if not the biggest sucker for Copia as a girl dad. Hope that is still okay! <3

"Hey, Kyouk. Take this and put it somewhere Byakuren can't find it. Better yet, maybe give it to Mystia." Nue waited until Kyouko was alone in her room to ambush her, sliding the door closed before tossing the yamabiko what looked almost akin to some sort of long-barreled flare gun. "Try it out on your next concert and I guarantee you you'll make the news. And no one will be hurt, so don't worry about that. That's what you were hoping for, right?"

"Huh? Wha-a-a-a--" Taken by surprise, Kyouko fumbles to catch the offering, clumsily smacking it around the air a few times before clapping it between her hands and giving a relieved sigh.

"What's this thing, some kind of weapon?" she questions, dangling the handle between two fingers and closer inspecting the red object. "Like...shoot it at my fans? That probably would make the news, but not for the reasons I want."

Once again, Kyouko misunderstands.

[stay-pos-cos]

I don't know who I am.

I know my name,

And my best friend from middle school's address.

I know the way a girl I no longer speak to takes her tea,

And how her mother sounds when she yells.

I am intimate with my mother's pain but not my own.

I know what music I like but not to explain it.

I know what I wanted to become at seven years old,

I don't know if I like what I am becoming.

I don't know who I am, at least not as well as I know the ones I love.

The Birth of Volleyballet

Where Sport and Elegance Converge

By Laura Turner, Special Correspondent

A remarkable photo has recently captured the attention of the sports world. It depicts two young ladies, both clad in sportswear and tutus, gracefully maneuvering on the court. But what initially appears to be an unusual combination of ballet and sport reveals itself as the latest innovation in competitive sports: Volleyballet.

Inspired by the elegance of ballet and the competitive intensity of volleyball, a group of visionary sports enthusiasts has developed a new variant that merges both elements. Volleyballet challenges players to propel the ball over the net using graceful movements borrowed from ballet. Players not only harness their physical strength but also their grace and fluidity to direct the ball with ease and precision.

"Volleyballet is a unique blend of sport and art," explains Dr. Emily Harris, one of the co-founders of this burgeoning sport. "It requires not only athletic prowess but also an understanding of rhythm, balance, and aesthetics. It's a challenge for the players and a visual spectacle for the audience."

The development of Volleyballet was no easy feat. For months, the founders worked tirelessly to refine the rules, design the court, and develop gameplay strategies. But their efforts have paid off as Volleyballet has already attracted a growing fan base and is eagerly anticipated by sports enthusiasts worldwide.

"It's fascinating to see how this new sport is evolving," says Marko Ramirez, an avid sports fan. "Volleyballet combines the beauty of ballet with the excitement of competitive sports in a way I've never seen before. I can't wait to experience a game live!"

With the introduction of Volleyballet, the world of sports is enriched with another exciting avenue for movement, competition, and entertainment. It serves as a reminder that innovation and creativity can continually create new pathways to push the boundaries of possibility and inspire us.

Female Spectators

[bronzewool]

Final Fantasy VII: Traces of Two Pasts by Kazushige Nojima is a novel exploring the backstories of Aerith and Tifa, two party members you acquire early on in the game.

Traces of Tifa starts with a young Tifa in the small village of Neibelheim, playing with the other boys her age (minus Cloud) and reconciling over the knowledge their childhood is coming to an end as each boy is already making plans to leave and follow their future career paths. The boys try to cheer her up by promising to write to her, but it soon becomes clear to her that everyone has already decided she will marry one of these boys without bothering to ask her opinion. After Cloud and the other boys leave for Midgar, she becomes lonely and has no direction in life until a wandering material artist, Rashard Zangan, shows up, scouting for students to join his dojo, and finding the perfect pupil in Tifa. Throwing herself into her training, she proves to be skilled in the art form and even starts teaching a morning class for the other villagers. Fast forward to the Neibelheim Incident, where Tifa lost her father and is mortally wounded by Sephiroth, she wakes up in a Midgar hospital that managed to save her life, but she no longer has a home or any means of paying her medical bills. The doctor's son, Rakesh, also a student of Zangan, sets her up with a room in one of the slum container rows, and a job working at a steamed bun cart. Although Tifa is grateful for the help, she is still in the process of mourning the loss of her home while recovering from a near-fatal stab wound and yet still expected to work off her heavy debts. During her time living in the slums, we see how she met Barret, and the rest of Avalanche and would eventually become the bartender of Seventh Heaven.

The segment has a well-paced coming-of-age story of Tifa having no control over her life, and becoming the confident kickboxer and math-savvy bartender we meet at the beginning of the game. The story is slow in several areas, the major one being the attention to detail it goes into regarding her workout routine (to the point it starts feeling like an actual textbook) and her work rota at the food cart and preparing the bao buns (which starts feeling like an actual cookbook). Other than that it has a satisfying twist near the end with how Tifa manages to get out of debt and find a supportive community that becomes her newfound family.

The only minor complaint I have with this story is how little Zangan is in it, considering he is meant to be Tifa’s sensei, but he is only shown teaching her through textbooks that he leaves for her to study before disappearing for months at a time and returning to test her progress and handing her the next volume before disappearing again. This works in the context of the games as characters can level up by reading textbooks, but from a story standpoint, it's rather disappointing how little these two interact.

Traces of Aerith covers the timeline after Aerith and her mother escape Shina and hide in Sector 8 Slums, right before she dies and Aerith is adopted by Elmyra. The game briefly covers how Aerith and Elymra first met, but the book goes into greater detail about how they became a family and that it wasn't as smooth a transition as was implied. Elmyra's husband was a soldier who had been deployed during the Wutai War and was finally coming back home. Elymra would stand at the train station waiting for him with each passing day and on one such day, she finds Aerith weeping over the corpse of her mother and takes the girl in before Shinra finds her. Aerith is in the middle of mourning her mother and Elymra is overloaded with the responsibility of being a single parent while trying to maintain peace within her husband's business. Aerith's presence complicates things for Elmyra and they come up with a fake identity for Aerith which quickly backfires the more people learn of her existence.

The book tries to address minor details in the framing device of a polygon game and has various degrees of success while doing it. For example, Aerith's home is strangely bigger than the rest of the slums, with a two-story house and a garden filled to the brim with flowers. In the game, this area is heavily detailed because it's a set-piece that represents Aerith and the party spends quite a bit of time here. In the context of reality, this area makes no sense when just outside the gate the rest of Sector 8 is a shanty town. The book works around this by giving Elmyra a backstory where her father-in-law owned a construction company and stayed in the slums to oversee that company, as opposed to other businesses that would start a shop in the Slums and immediately abandon it once they earned enough to move onto the upper plate. Her father-in-law employed all those redundant employees and gained a lot of respect from the community for providing employment, hence why they live more lavishly in comparison.

My only complaint about Aerith’s segment in particular is how it glosses over major details in her childhood that fans were probably picking up the book to read about. We know the Turks have been spying on Aerith since she was a child, but they barely have a presence in this segment beyond one vital scene that needs to exist because it happened in the game and the climax where we can assume they saved Aerith’s life. Instead, we spend a lot of time setting up Aerith having a fake identity, and her panicking and using another girl’s name, and this somehow causes everyone to panic because two girls can’t have the same name I guess? (it's as stupid as it sounds and I don’t know why the book dives into this when we know Aerith uses her real name in the present timeline).

Is this book well written? Yes. Did it need to exist? No. There is nothing new we learn in this book that changes your worldview of the game or about Aerith and Tifa as characters. Hardcore fans will enjoy it but casual fans are not going to get anything out of it.
