i don't think you guys understand just how much i need zagreus to be something like the final boss in the game, like, i literally need it to happen on a physical level, it's like an oxygen.
I wont, like, be dissapointed in the game or supergiant if it never happens, but i don't even have words to articulate just how much of a missed opportunity it would be.
chronos implying he "tortured" zagreus and was succesful in breaking him. Melinoe occasionally saying "For my brother" specifically. Gods remembering him in kind word, and even Hades finally being appreciative of him. Cerberus going mad over loss and sorrow, and even in his normal form not letting anyone near himself. Zagreus' chamber specifically not being available in pre-version 1.0
And then-
Melinoe thinking she finally defeated Chronos and now can reconnect with her brother- only to meet him changed, unrecognizable even to his own mother. Him not recongnizing anyone and only knowing hunger for blood.
God of Blood, in his full strenght and glory. Us, players, who have known him since he was just a guy, with quick toungue and good heart, only yet-to-be-god. God of Blood, now mad with pain and mourning he does not remember the source of, the last stronghold of the mess Chronos left, the one that won't fall, slaughtering anyone crossing his path. Melinoe trying again and again, reaching out to him, unsecceful, each time. Some people around her saying there's no bringing him back, and he must be oblitirated. Her refusal. She will get to him. He'll come back to them. She'll bring him back. For her brother

(also good for replayability, like, having friendly sibiling matches at the end od the run, i think it's cool)

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

"Astarion doesn't do big romantic gestures."
My Durge still trying to get graveyard dirt out of her ass crack after being lovingly pounded into it by Astarion who wanted to share with her this deeply joyful and meaningful reclamation of himself after sharing a vulnerable declaration of his love, at this place he hasn't shown anyone else but her: "Then what the actual fuck was that???"

Deeply ill about the way Nemesis' interactions with Melinoë start at "You don't deserve this (you're not good enough)" and slowly morph into "You don't deserve this (you deserve better than this)"

hey, remember being 18 years old and playing mass effect for the first time and it's got this like intense aura of being very small and very insignificant in a very big, very empty galaxy? remember playing mass effect for the first time and everything all of this is so new and mysterious, and it's 2am and you're sitting in a dark room in the light from your tv and you're playing through feros for the first time and you feel that this is someting very old and very ancient and you are somewhere you shouldn't be and you don't know what's going to happen or where you're going but you keep on. there's a tingling in your stomach and you're playing mass effect for the first time. the thorian is a milennia old sentient plant being. the rachni queen is old and telepathic and a hive mind and in pain. sovereign is an ancient machine that has not been built but is, and has always been, and this is something so alien and so unlike and beyond anything your human mind can comprehend, and this is something unexplainable and huge and as uncaring and indifferent as the empty galaxy around you. you're playing mass effect for the first time and you're walking on the surface of an almost completely empty planet with nothing but your two companions silently walking beside you and everything is so huge and empty and silent and you're so small and insignificant and it's so beautiful and so scary and you feel like you are on a rollercoaster about to drop down. you are playing mass effect for the first time and you're playing the mission on the moon and you stop and just look up at earth visible in the sky. you know this. this is home. you are playing mass effect for the first time, and the galaxy is so big, and you are so tiny, and everything is about to change for you.

have you seen the new nightwear groovy? alas, the dream of the animal onesies or the pillow fight groovy are dashed 😞 - i have yet to see the card's story but i assume that yuu is interviewing the boys again this year like the birthday boy cards cause there's no other characters in the card (?)
I too am disappointed that we didn't get a big full-on pillow fight. 😔 but he DOES battle by throwing his pillow, so at least we get some cushion action in there!
it looks like this round of birthday cards aren't going to be interviews/conversations, at least not for most of it -- the first part was Jamil talking to Ortho (who he duos with) about what his dormmates are doing for his birthday (they're setting up a surprise party/parade (because Kalim) but they're doing an extremely bad job of it and he's having to go around making sure that they don't screw it up) (being Jamil is suffering). second part was Jamil talking to his (unvoiced mob) roommate and answering Crowley's School Improvement Survey (he wants bigger bathrooms) (also a fridge in his room) (actually, make that a whole kitchen) (but mostly bigger bathrooms). then third part was his ~morning routine~, aka talking to himself about his hair and makeup, as one does in a visual novel. it's less cohesive than the previous birthday stories, but it's all pretty chill and there's some fun stuff in there! (Najma sent him hair stuff for his birthday that's way too fancy and he can't decide if she did it to annoy him or not. truly, being Jamil is indeed suffering.)
if all the cards are going to be about nightly/morning routine though, we're going to absolutely melt when we get to Vil, brace yourselves

i think the master would be fixed if they could just host game changer
all of that chaos and mindfuckery but with no actual harm done
au where the next incarnation of the master is sam reich and he’s been here the whole time
