'Hey, come on, that's enough. You've had your fun, my friend.' 'Do I know you?' / 'I don't want you to change. I want you...to always...be you.'

{a merlin playlist ⭒ that follows the narrative ⭒ all the way to its (bitter) end ⭒ (and hopefully beyond)}

His crown lit up the way as we moved slowly / 'Cause you're my king and I'm your lionheart

There’s a kid who recently started working at the charity store I work at and we’re usually working at the same time

And he’s a sweet kid but.

He stims all the time and in such a way that it triggers my misophonia and I feel SICK and there’s ✨sweet fuck all✨ I can do about it

1) Opens up drafts with my head empty, ready to be flooded, not knowing where I'll go. 2) 30 seconds later: Okay but I will go feral any day of my life over Perilous Trail, and the fierce dichotomy of Xiao and Yelan. While they're far from being 'the same', they both view themselves as soldiers in one way or another (it's a very difficult word to use for Yelan, so I'm using it very liberally and very loosely), they have both suffered losses on the 'battlefield' and carry the burden thereof in their own ways. And yet they stand so firmly in opposition throughout the entirety of that questline up until the very end of the 'the end of the line' conclusion of the quest. Yes, I know that she offers him her gratitude in its aftermath and it is genuine, but she still never agrees with him and the decision that he made moments earlier. It simply 'worked out' because of Zhongli's interference, he's the only reason it worked out. And it's because of that, that she doesn't give him a hell of a hard time (obviously she can't go down there, but imagine the inner frustration of severe extents; when you condemn someone who you can't even see anymore). In the same way that she would do to anyone who would sacrifice themselves for others, but in this case, I think it's 'beautiful' that it's to Xiao; the one who seems most adamant to do so (which honestly, fits into the contract that the Yakshas chose to sign with Morax; 'the ultimate sacrifice' to protect for Liyue; 'for Liyue', and Liyue has always centered itself around its people), the one who everyone reveres (and so does she, as she notes in her voiceline, 'if I ever have the honor to fight alongside') and respects for good reason, she stands against him, because in that moment, regardless of his status, he makes a call that she considers wrong. And he doesn't even... fight her on it very fiercely, and that's what actually hurts me the most, it's as if the following line hit the nail directly on the head?

"Besides, if you were really so determined to end it all, you wouldn't have given us the opportunity to share our opinions."

[nacrelysis]

lines from nahida's story quest ii [sapientia oromasdis ii] that made me cry + will make you cry too (spoilers)

"our past has been saved, and our future ensured. it's enough for me just knowing that they will return home."

"not all eagles who have fallen to the ground can soar in the sky once again. but if no risks are taken, then the eagle will be grounded forever."

"don't be sad...this is not your home...we go home."

"lord of dendro...should also go home too."

"i learned a wonderful word. it's 'nur,' which means 'light.' it will be your name from now on."

"...nur..."

fun fact! the word "home" is used in sapientia orosmasdis ii a total of about seventy times. i'm gonna go cry now.

[beliscary]

im too slow to finish this for this solstice so have a snippet of wip ft. terence and bahamut talking

"Each time I return," the dragon wondered, pressing against Terence's pilgrim kiss, "I am astonished to find another that burns so. I should know better. There is always light."

There—the crack at last. Quicker and cleaner than he had expected. Kinder, also. Gently, Terence felt for the fracture inside himself. He pried it apart, breaking it in truth, and folded those ancient eyes within his heart, placing them beside Dion's strained, precious smiles.

No one will look here, he promised. No one has ever thought to.

“It will be a cruel work.” The proud creature did not flinch from the truth, though there was pain in it. He and Dion were well suited to each other, after all. “Do not say you did not know.”

“I've always known.” He ran a hand over the dragon's skin.

“I wonder if you will believe that, at the end."

I've been re–listening to the Creaks album a lot and I always think of you when I listen to it. Hopefully I will be able to try the game at some point, because there is just something about the music that makes me love it, especially "Attic", "Welcome to Towers" and of course "Lifting", and it gives me lots of story idea snippets too! NIGHTS is also on my list, after I get my head out of Creaks territory, haha

WHATTTT THINKIN OF ME WHEN LISTENING TO CREAKS?!??! SWEETEST THING IVE EVER HEARD THANK YOU??!??!?

[GREATTTT FAVORITES AS WELL, some of my (MANY) favorites from the soundtrack have to be: "Three Islands", "Learning Spy", and "Bridges", which I'll be honest, when I was workin' on your Violin & Accordion piece, I kept listening to that song as well. Bridges has some beautiful violin throughout it AUGH].

Somethin' about Creaks' OST is just very whimsical and creates such, SUCH strong n unique feelings for each song. I could go off about each one for HOURS PROBABLY LOL But the way it sounds like a story is unraveling for all of them, the way some of them have such a strong shift in tone, how the tempos pick up or slow down so drastically, and how some instruments suddenly get much wilder and louder than others, AGHHHHH ITS SO AWESOME

It's honestly one of my favorite soundtracks to listen to while writing, especially if I find myself stumped on a scene or if I have a REALLY specific tone in mind, Creaks has JUST the right song to match said-tone.

AND YESS CHECK THE GAME OUT, I SUPER RECOMMEND IT!! Especially if you're a fan of problem solving/puzzle games! I really enjoy it's main Gimmick, along with the animations, and the backgrounds + their colors are suppperrrr pleasing to look at. I actually ended up buying the art book for the game cause I loved the vibes that much!

And oh my gosshhhhh PLEASE lemme know whenever you write up any of those snippets in your mind, I'd love to read em! [AND YESS CHECK OUT NIGHTS PLEASE RARRGGHH]

[leijonzzz]

I LOVE SUIKODEN SOOOO FUCKING MUCH
