I'm surprised how many people like the scene. I just want them to kiss 😖
i mean, it's a near-perfect scene imo. like my one gripe with it (as it stands on its own) is that it ends what was pitched as a "healing arc" with her still in emotional turmoil. idrc about a kiss but i would have loved to get the hug. not even like, in terms of eo. my girl just needs one.
Continuing off my thoughts of making Sol a creacher, maybe something not cat, maybe dead, maybe spirit. Nothing I want to put a definition on.
Sol starting out as just a sort of odd looking cat. Fairly tall & lanky, short fur except for his mane and tail, male calico type deal. A little off putting, but nothing too alarming. He comes in rare times of peace, asking for nothing more than an audience. He sticks around.
Then the story continues, the clans grow restlessness around each other.. He draws Hollypaw/leaf in more. He casually picks at the threads of the code. And...he makes some sense. Does he look a bit different? His muzzle longer? No, must be the light.
Then things get worse, threat of all out war, each clan for themselves. Hollyleaf & others now listening to Sol's message. He's right, isn't he? But one could swear he towers over you a bit more His teeth look sharper. His grin wider.
Everything goes to shit. War. Death. Can't trust anyone. And a creature, large and imposing stands over the chaos. He doesn't join in the battle, oh no. He's simply there to watch the panic unfold as the moon slips into place, darkening the midday sun.
Currently the cherry magic thai remake is not hitting for me. I really hoped I would like it.
First I realy loved the Japanese version and I was/am sceptical that they would try to make a remake. Because I did/do not see the necessity of it. The japanese version was realy good and was not made that long ago.
Second I love tay and I love seeing him in series also because of his personality and care for the job.
I’m not particularly fan of taynew as a couple, they are great friends and their chemistry worked for me in dark blue kiss because of the rivalry and friendship their relationship was build on.
(I might be extremely biased but I would have loved to see OffGun take this project instead, because I think the dynamic of achi and karan would have suited them better)
I hated the inner monologue in episode 2 while achi was ‘sleeping’ on the couch. Karan actually debating doing something while achi was asleep just rubbed me the wrong way. We are done with the icky cliche of ‘doing something to someone that is asleep’
They changed some more things from the Japanese version and not really for the better. But also they did not change enough for me to keep my focus while cherry magic japan is one of my favorite bls and I rewatch it on the regular.
I don't know what to do about eos' white mage outfit... caster gearsets aren't my jam at all (except the few things tailored specifically for red mages)
Started playing EotS cuz of you (knowing Darkrai played a role also had a hand in it) and OOOOUUUGHHH IM SCREAMING
Thank you for introducing this game to me via my browsing the Darkrai tag
THATS AWESOME!!!!!! it makes me really happy to hear that i was the source of getting someone else into a thing i like
admittedly i dont play a lot of eos romhacks, and eots is the 2nd one ive completed, but its great!!!!!!! the start was admittedly confusing and, at first, not that fun to me when i first started (hero get your aggression under control!!! damn!!!!!) but once i actually got past that, it was great! i rewatched the ending several times, and when i wanted to see my skitty hero instead of the yter's hero, just recorded it myself LOL and then watched the cutscene
(lettie and didi's actual in-game names are Leditor and Pudding! leditor as in level editor because i was streaming to a modding community when i restarted and we were bein goofy. this did not take away the emotional impact)
ANYWAYS glad theres another eots player around!!!!! its so <3 it consumed my brain for a few days
playing as your hero and partner pair ever will make eots emotionally hit you harder. thats my recommendation. i could Feel the missed potential impact bc i used an entirely new team (never had skitty or totodile before! mainly totodile!)
So,like I said as part of my occasional queued posts there will be SIFAS MVs and stuff like that to go with them :] and going first is my shuffle fes ones but individually,in honor of Nijigaku’s 5th album and 6th live coming out this year - going in song order,first up is Shioriko doing Say Good-Bye Namida! …Ngl,the main reason I even chose this song for her was bc I’m a big Shiopomu fan and we didn’t get Shio singing Yume no Ippo,so this was my retribution dhdjdj plus it’s just a cute song that could fit her as well ^^ (but it was mostly because of Shiopomu)
just realised as i was talking to my wife about the Hall of Darkness and why i can't really stomach the visuals of it. i know it's just a red and black (hehe) reskin of the echoing library but good god, those books are soaked in the stuff.
but yes, getting to it, i realised that it kind of feels somewhat related(?) to this concept from The Magnus Archives, wherein these supernatural books existed. each of these books were usually tied to a fear that humanity has held throughout its lifetime, and so you can't just destroy these books willy nilly because imagine throwing a fire book into the fire, or chopping up a book that's about extreme violence.
There was a character that sought out these books into a collection, and I know it's pretty much a stretch but, the Hall of Darkness kind of feels like something like that. I know it's technically a research facility but like, I kinda like the concept of something more supernatural happening in conjunction to the scientific mess that happened in this place. like something unknowable is at once warding and beckoning onlookers to come inside and read its tomes...
well at least i know i won't be visiting there for a while <:D! i genuinely can't look at it without feeling ill so that's probably a story to be explored for another day
the scar Valin has on his jaw from when Drone had a muscle tremour shaving his face... the jagged black line along Drone's left palm where her blade cut into her silicone flesh so deeply it bounced off her titanium metacarpus.
Mage (who at this point, let‘s be real, is basically my main one): Durian- it’s kinda spiky and some people like its‘ taste, but some don’t for the rather weird smell, so there’s this duality thing going on, plus selling durians happened to be my main way of making money in Animal Crossing New Leaf and if that doesn’t fit then idk what does. However it was closely tied with privet honeysuckles because that’s his exact color palette and they’re slightly poisonous.
Violet: Apple - white (hair), royal status, people tried to get rid of her -> Snow White -> Apple
Red: Dragon fruit- spiky red hair = spiky red fruit, and the green matches nicely with the scarf. Plus it’s apparently rather healthy as well and tastes sour-sweet which fits the character. Also Red‘s loosely based on this concept of videogame protagonists if they quit their quest halfway through/100% the whole thing and fantasy, slaying dragons, it fits. …tied with strawberry for the same red hair with green on side reason and it’s sour-sweetness.
[Yellow] (I need a name for this pal): Lemon. One sour yellow boi. It’s perfect.
[Blue] (who I may wanna call Deniz but I’m not sure yet): Oranges. He lives near the ocean and there’s this general ocean water sailing theme going on. Oranges contain vitamin c, and the lack of that causes scurvy, which is literally called a sailor‘s disease. He very much does not have scurvy but does have a rather sunny personality, so it fits.
However you did say all OC’s, so as a little bonus:
Tomato: tomato- an oc based on a tomato. Yes really. She’s literally a tomato person and my main oc when I was like 12 or smth.
And yes, tomatoes are technically fruits. Fruit-vegetables, to be precise. They’re officially an in-between category.
