Louis, Madeleine, and Daniel finding thier soulmates through sheer power of "Oh you're a vampire? Well mark me down as scared and horny!"

And now that has me thinking of the three of them telling someone the answers to: "Well how did you meet your maker? When did you find out they were a vampire?"

Madeleine: Oh well, she saved me from these horrible people who broke into my shop and were about to rape me. I was scared but more so fascinated and thankful that she saved my life❤️

Louis & Daniel:....

Louis: Ah, well...I was going through a pretty tough time because my brother had just committed suicide so after his funeral I went to the church to confess my sins and he got mad because I was ignoring him after we fucked ONE TIME and ripped me out of the confessional where I watched him murder two priests in cold blood. He told me he loved me though❤️

Daniel: He got mad at me because Louis was coked up on my blood and called him "boring" so he held me hostage and tortured me for a week so I could teach him how to be "fascinating". He was going to give me an easeful death though❤️

I think Andreil is a very trust-the-process kind of ship because my goodness the first book? I didn't even fathom the possibility of these two idiots getting together. Like getting along I can kinda understand but being each other's comfort? Home? No it was out of the question. My first thoughts were very much somewhere along the lines of 'oh they'll tear each other to shreds' AND NOT IN THE ROMANTIC WAY. Then you progress with the story and see how these two become willingly intertwined with each other and you're just like 'oh damn, go ig.' actually I think enemies to lovers should take after Andreil because man I was so sure they'd end up killing each other eventually.

on the one hand i would love a joel scott life series team up SO much, on the other hand i think joel committing to the bit of scott being his mortal enemy until the end of time is so fucking funny

anyways heres some misc jamba cult info from the japanese version of star allies the official translation removed/changed the meaning of i found a couple days back (fan translations can be found here)

-this is implied but misworded in english, the jamba cult worships dark matter rather than be masters of it (this is prob why gooey gets positive nickname privileges from zan on twitter)

-the magic n science ancients old relationship prior to the magic clans ban is explicitly positive in japanese

-english hyness says magic overcame science n reached prosperity, japanese says science n magic could only reach prosperity when together

-for wtv reason, english replaced one of the mentions of the "book of legends" (the book abt void hyness has) w talking abt ambiguous ancient scrolls instead...?

-theres some references to a paradise void will destroy in the japanese screens w that one cult prayer that were cut from english (the second n fourth ones specifically iirc), the sisters guest star screens make references to paradise as well, make of that what you will regarding the religious side of the cult

-most if not all instances of void being called dark lord r used to censor out void being called god/god of destruction in the original version

-pon & cons japanese title (a-un guardian beasts) is a reference to a buddhist concept of beginning n ending, the pause screen states they surrendered to the enemy n thats why theyre doing guard work there, rather than they became cultists off screen between games like one might assume

-japanese hyness uses ~ when talking a lot, while most ppl associate that w a character having a sweet cute voice tone, for him it likely just indicates he tends to drag out the end of words a lot

-fully removed from english, hyness has a complex abt his face, which is why its so well covered

-zans second boss screen in english credits her loyalty to hyness' intoxicating charisma n her sense of duty, while japanese later does canonize she has a strong sense of duty in a different screen, it instead says for the second boss she feels indebted he took her in n is also "enamoured" by his charisma n "admires him from within the heart", quoting the used wording bc i think shes both adorable n so deeply worrisome

-weve all heard the english translation censored zan being heavily implied to have attempted suicide n being saved by hyness after it fails (succeeds?) after shes struck by lightning n nearly dies/gets bought back by him.wtv take on hyness saving the mages you prefer

-zan is never called the eldest of the sisters in the original, just the chief of the trio

-hyness misremembers zans name as zan paruru, a pun on the japanese word for forgotten (wasuraruru), that same pun is used for her boss themes title

-one of zans attacks in japanese is named after the "thunder candies" (type of wagashi) found in kaminarimon, where a statue of the shinto thunder god raijin is found, zans drums used during that same attack r literally based on raijins own drums

-zans first boss screen claims she toys w her enemies through her quick attacks rather than render them helpless like prey.just mentioning bc thats silly n has a slightly new show of her personality that line up w her depiction on the official twitter in a way

-flamberge wasnt taking a break in her second boss fight she was just slacking off n picked a nice star/planet on purpose for that.thats funny of her so its justified

-flamberge calls francisca kiss-chan in japanese, this is the same nickname zan gives her in japanese thats officially translated as franny

-this isnt mentioned in the documents but im bringing it up bc its funny.that part of HIAD where francisca calls flamberge "miss flamberge" was just flamberge-san in jp, -san is just a polite honorific to use that isnt immediately translated to miss/mister, specially if the characters know each other.why did they make it that lmao

-japanese explicitly says too much heat might straight up make francisca melt (english also implies that tbf)

-francisca dislikes "pointless murder", but is fine freezing ppl n keeping them for her collection if she deems them an enemy

-hyness' japanese title can be read as both mage priest n devil priest

-the sisters titles all have a reoccurring use of ice blossom, hellfire n thunder fang respectively, n theyre called the demon generals instead of mage sisters

-HIAD hyness' title fell priest has a reference to fallen angels.i feel thats giving pre corruption hyness too much personality credit but alright

-void is refered to both as devil n angel in different forms titles.this is awesome

-theres a kanji for hope thats associated w the jamba cult throughout the whole game

-the japanese guest star screens for the mages say theyre no longer praying n r seeking a new paradise together, for whatever reason, english completely removes the no longer praying part, completely losing the meaning of the sentence n development the sisters have (interestingly, hyness is mentioned in those n still called their master, n zans description straight up states she wants him to watch her triumph (translated officially as her wanting to make him proud), so its not actually explained if they disbanded the cult or theyre just.some kind of normal religion now? but theyre atleast touching grass now)

todays conclusion is the KSA translators just hate us 👍 check the linked fan translation for more examples of that

i dont ship ellen and ted but i think they got something funny going awhn ngl............

they have a very amusing and deeply frustrating dynamic where ted continually takes her kindness for granted whilst insisting everyone hates him because he has a raging victim complex and is a paranoid shithead but thats completely am's fault.

Ellen is long suffering and deserves someone wayyy better than ted but hes soo pathetically in goopy puppy love with her. like at least in the game he is,, the book and audio drama is a different story lol.

While I do think Ted is in love with ellen, in a way he's also in love with what she represents?? Ted is a playboy and his view on women is pretty warped from manipulating lonely rich single women for years and suddenly being placed in what is essentially his own personal hell for over a century. He would desperately crave and cling to his previous life. Ellen, being the very last woman on earth would be a sort of reminder of what he lost and what he can't get back, which would translate into a deep resentment for her whilst also yearning for her. He's also kind of an incel (see his twisted perspective on ellen and benny's relationship).

Ellen's whole deal is that she's endlessly compassionate and understanding and everything Ted ISNT. and he sucks and i hate him. Ellen, despite her trauma, offers sex to Ted and the other survivors even though they do nothing to repay her kindness ever, emphasises this boundless empathy she holds. Ellen being forced into this caretaker role is so frustrating and is sort of its own kind of horror when looking at it from the perspective of how women, especially women of colour are treated societally. Ellennnn. ELEENNNAAUGH

Ted's anger is also kind of situational?? like i think his hatred of ellen stems more so from the fact that he's never going to have a relationship with her outside of the torture and ellen never argues with him because she knows he isnt well.

ted is so very mentally broken its obvious why he lashes out but i KNOW for a fact he cares deeply for ellen because he literally saves her in the end hhrrrgggahshhd. i hate these two i hate them so much and what they do to me.

dude I love blood in the bayou so far. most of the group is high on morphine and weed. they smoke 24 packs a day. rand has been easily convinced it’s mind flayers and is just so mentally unstable. rolan is perceiving and comprehending the incomprehensible horrors when he really Should Not Be. kian is straight up jerking it in his hospital bed. It’s the 80’s baby
