Prompt: Guilt || His Dark Materials || Jopair x Jupiter

A/N: oh boy... here we go ... my version of hdm, where Jopari is alive... i think i actually have an idea for this......

jupiter was sitting with Lyra, with her hand on Joparis knee, as the children were telling stories of their life.

"you left him to die" the whispers started. Jopari started to space out, not able to hear the chatter of the children, but instead hear whispers reminding him of when he left Lee Scoresby to die. it was not intentional, but even Lee had told him to go.

Jupiter noticed Jopari was silent, not even chuckling anymore, and turned to see his hood up and face dark. it looked as if he wasn't even there.

"Jopari? Are you alright?" she moved to put her hand on his cheek and make him look at her. his eyes were wide and so dark, like the dark brown of his iris was consumed by his pupil.

"Dad?" will whispered.

"he needed you and you left him, you are a bad friend." the Harpy whispered to him.

"Jopari, listen to my voice, this happened to Lyra and Will earlier." she moved to straddle his lap, both hands on his face, pushing his hood off. she leans her forehead against his and closes her eyes, moving her hands to his shoulders to shake him up. "baby wake up im here, don't listen to the voices." she whispered to him.

in the midst of this happening, Lyra hears a voice call to her in the crowd around them. It was none other than the Aeronaut, Lee Scoresby.

"well, if it isn't my favorite child that isn't mine." he says, smiling at Lyra and they hug.

"Lee, Jopari is needing your help." Lyra tells him and points to where Jupiter is straddling his lap and trying to get his attention desperately.

Lee walked over, setting a hand on Jupiter's shoulder, and she looks up. her eyes light up and she smiled a little, but then she started to tear up by the thought of not saving her man. Lee helped her to her feet, and knelt down in front of the shaman.

"hey, mister Shayman, did you think you were the cause of my death?" he asked out loud and Jopari blinked, slowly coming to. he looked towards the voice he heard and his eyes widened and they grab each others hands and Lee helps him to his feet. "you didn't cause my death, i did. i told you to go find the kids, obviously you did. but i got myself killed, not you."

Lee brought Jopari close to him so they could hug, and jopari hugged the man tightly.

"oh how i have missed you, friend." Jopari says.

"thank you, Lee." Jupiter whispered.

I need Sam Monroe (Life As a House), Jack Mercer (Four Brothers) & Pogue Parry (The Covenant) to be friends like I need air. They’d get along so well (also they embody the best parts of the “early 00s boy” aesthetic).

them. Going to rock concerts, smoking pot, laughing about weird shit. 🥰

also, these 3 in a movie would ruin me.

have you thought about final fantasy 7 rebirth since you finished it?

Oh yeah I certainly have!

Huge turnaround from 7Remake where I finished it and went "Alrighty it wasn't great but it was still FF7" and then I got more and more sore about it and realized I really didn't like what I played, to the point where I had no interest in 7Rebirth until the demo came out and I saw how improved it felt.

7Remake kept actively introducing new bullshit that sucked like a fairly hefty loading screen every 5 minutes of walking (that's why you had to keep squeezing yourself through narrow gaps) or getting pinballed around by 20 tiny guys attacking you from behind while you all move like glaciers.

On the other hand, most of the annoying flaws of 7Rebirth come from it actually being more like FF7. Tons of minigames that keep breaking the flow of the main game, a new character every ten minutes, being stuck inside the Gold Saucer forever, all stuff I made peace with years ago.

That distinction between the kinds of flaws they have is important to me, because I thought 7Remake was at its strongest when it was physically being the experience of FF7 that existed in your imagination/memories.

The Shinra building is a great example. You take the stairs again in 7Remake because it's funny, and you see Tifa easily jogging up the steps while Barret and even Cloud start fucking dying. She has to encourage the guys to keep pace with her, Cloud is silently wondering how the hell is she fitter than a SOLDIER, and Barret almost loses hope when they're two floors away. It's just like how you remembered it as a kid, which is good AND slightly different from what the original actually was, because in the original FF7 Tifa calls Barret a slur when she tells him to shut up and climb.

7Rebirth is a game that realizes that particular strength of 7Remake, where you don't have to be faithful to the original's events, but to its spirit. Yuffie for example was encountered outside of Junon and was missable, so she didn't have too much of a character beyond getting motion sickness and stealing materia. Her role AND character is greatly expounded on in 7Rebirth, where she encounters Avalanche repeatedly after Junon and instead begs to join them after realizing they're the best chance Wutai has at defeating Shinra, while becoming something of a bratty little sister to Cloud and even like a (very annoying) second daughter to Barret, since she's the only one in the group as hardcore anti-Shinra as Barret is.

It doesn't feel like they're being mixing things up for the sake of being new, but rather "this is how much more we could have done with Yuffie". She'll do the same spinning victory animation as the original, still vomits within 5 minutes of getting into any kind of vehicle, but now she loudly argues with Aerith "Shinra are not the real enemy!" Gainsborough, saying the same things Barret tells Tifa in 7Remake about the problem of good people working under evil masters, in her own, less mature and less eloquent Yuffie way.

They do this with everybody in the cast (barring Sephiroth, as it's becoming more clear after 7Remake that Sephiroth is in some time loop shenanigans where he's already been through FF7 once and thus he's real different) where 7Rebirth rethinks and rebuilds the cast's quirks, traits, and relationships with each other and with the world in ways that just make sense. Cid's not the same tough grouch when you meet him that he was in the original, but why would he be? You don't go to Rocket town yet in 7Rebirth, you meet Cid when he's still pulling his best customer service face! But when Barret mentions how their group aren't friends with anybody that works with Shinra (Chadley's a double agent it doesn't count), Cid easily, verbally, pushes him back in a way that lets you know Cid the leader from the original is still in there.

7Rebirth's just great, I liked it very much. Probably the best title the PS5 has got to offer, and I'm counting all the PS4 games ported to the PS5 in there just so it's got to deal with actual competition. The locations and characters are so alive and vivid, and even the most mind-numbing chores in the game are just so different from each other (there's a fucking minigame for picking mushrooms rather than just letting you press A to snatch some) that you really can't say Square didn't give their 110% in making Gaia an interactive place, even if the only minigame I really enjoyed was Queen's Blood.

Oh and the combat kicks so much ass. The best, maybe the only truly great ARPG battle system Square has made since Kingdom Hearts. That's a very important factor in considering how much I loved 7Rebirth compared to 7Remake, but I've talked too much about it already.

in dawn of destruction i just love that little moment of pause snotlout had when hiccup came back from his small trip with astrid to find the edge being attacked. hiccup gives out orders, snotlout just stares at him and hiccup stammers to asks him ‘what is it, snotlout?’ to which snotlout replies, ‘nothing. it’s just well, it’s nice to have you back.’ and it’s with so much sincerity and even a hint of relief and it’s just so !!! snotlout looks up so much to hiccup and it grounds him (and the rest of the gang) for hiccup to BE there and to be the leader their team needs and has. it just shows how much faith and trust they have in each other and no matter how much he complains all the time, snotlout will always and undoubtedly have hiccup’s back and vice versa.

unironically where are all the bloodborne-likes?? we have a plethora of soulslikes, but all the ones that seemed like they'd be more bloodborne inspired turned out to in fact be more sekiro, mechanically. which is super disappointing as someone who Did Not Like sekiro's mechanics thymesia: bloodborne aesthetics, sekiro mechanics lies of P: looks like bloodborne, oops it's sekiro mechanics again en garde: dueling, that's right it's more sekiro steelrising: yet more sek-- wait this one is actually a tiny bit more bloodborne! anyway play steelrising if like me you enjoy the way combat feels in bloodborne
