I also love how everyone at the very least got to confront their fears or find a solution for it.

Nia got to find a balance between her Light and Shadow selves. She doesn't have to choose a side anymore.

Tyril could see True Magic in action and maybe put his faith in something right. If you choose the "merge the realms" ending, he's just in awe of how balance is restored back in the realms. However I'd have love to see him feel a sense of right and wrong again.

Mal stops avoiding family. He goes home to his old family while raising a new one. The Mal who's not comfortable with settling down and wants to adventure till his last breath, found a peaceful home where he could do both.

Imtura finally gets accepted by her family and new friends. She's no longer the ostracized pirate Orc. She's put her past trauma behind her and learned to embrace it than sail away on a ship. I hoped for a line of dialogue about her still healing from the trauma of her mother's loss but I hope it is addressed.

Aerin, in the merger-ending, finds a home far away from the palace. He's able to carve his identity out for himself outside of Baldur and his father and is actually recognised for his work than get shunned for it.

Valax aims to build back whatever her mother destroyed, essentially gaining independence, free thinking and an ability to accept love first, before loving back.

Kade starts out as a storyteller and ends as a storyteller. Except he's got more stories to tell, more to write and more to explore. He's no longer the sick, weak kid anymore. He's intellectual, he's smart, he's resourceful and he can do anything with the tools and the confidence he now has.

MC gets to make a name for themselves and meet the interesting people and go to the interesting places they've always ever wanted, thus going from a small town nobody to a somebody at least. To conquer that fear of the unknown and embrace whatever's in store in the future.

***

While a lot of them aren't really that explored I'm just gonna take this as a sign that these characters all got a nice happy ending. I played the merge the two realms route so I'm not sure how it would look like in other situations. I hope even in the other routes, thanks to the knowledge these characters have gained, they'd probably turn out to be better, more well-rounded people who can see the in betweens and not just the good versus bad.

it's almost 2am or something

cramming a paper due later and thinking about how much things have changed since i was last here

found out blades 2 has been delayed to 2023 (rip there's no hope left)

just reinstalled choices and trying crimes of passion (im glad wake the dead is good for farming lol)

ive neglected reading interactive fiction (leon de param, jeremy coleman, kent zarneki i miss u sirs and more)

genshin has taken over since the fall of choices so yes i have gi brainrot

drawing comes in short bursts once in a while but ive finally started doing commissions here and there (miraculously got a comm for a very relevant person here; trembling with excitement and fear slejksd)

uni is well on its way (im delayed lmao) but i cant function properly knowing there's war and senseless killing in ukraine

nobody asked but i stan the man the myth the legendary chad himself volodymyr zelenskyy

in short: hewwo, i am alive and coping! ukraine, genshin, the upcoming elections, and uni are constantly on the brain. praying for you, my friend, the lovely person who is reading this. our lives are full of uncertainty more than ever, but nothing is left to chance. light will conquer darkness, the sun always rises no matter how long the night is. i hope you're doing okay, and if you aren't, this is a sign that it'll all turn out better soon. someone loves you, and that is reason enough to keep going on. much love always 💖

#nobody asked but #ive missed screaming into this cozy void #missed expressing myself better #missed a lot of good things in life #good people as well #do i smell a tumblr comeback #hmmm #slowly maybe
