I feel like one of the things with ocd that doesn't get talked about enough is memory loss. Like there are large chunks of my life where I can only remember like specs of the people I knew or the things I was doing or how I felt. I know it's very common to not remember all of your childhood and I get that when my loved ones tell me that it's meant to be like a way to comfort me. But I genuinely can barely remember anything between the ages of 16 to 19, including the friends I had, what shows I watched, how I felt about anything happening etc.
Like my mum was talking to me a while ago about how she's sorry she didn't know how to support me when I was suicidal at 17 and my blunt ass just went "oh, was I suicidal then? I genuinely don't remember" and since then there will be all these little things that she'll ask me about and I gotta be like ma'am I have no idea what you're on about.
Like I asked her recently if she'd watch Gilmore Girls with me bc it's not my genre but I love one of the actors and she was so confused because apparently I binge watched the entirety of Gilmore girls at 19 and had my mum watch it with me then, apparently I was the one who introduced her to the show. On the more extreme side of things I recently remembered I had a friend in year 12 who I adored, he was super kind and lovely and named Raven and I have literally no idea what happened to him or why we aren't friends anymore. Just forgot he was a whole real person for almost a decade.
Anyway its not as spooky as it sounds like it's obviously a bit disorienting and there's the worry I've blocked out something Real Bad but like the truth is the only reason I'm thinking/writing about this now is because I finally decided to watch Hannibal and then realised I think I have watched it????? And was extremely invested???? When I was like 16 or 17, because I thought I'd only watched the first two episodes as a teen but now rewatching it I'm like oh I may have seen almost all of this? But because it's so extremely murky in my memory it's still exciting and fantastic to watch and I'm going to be extremely obnoxious about it for a while sorry

ANYWAY now that ive gotten my firefly rant off my chest and on a more positive note about the story overall; i Really liked it!!!! and character-wise specifically the biggest surprise for me in a huge W way was actually acheron??
& given i was actually somewhat committed to pulling her anyway (well. initially as kafka replacement to pull my first lightning carry after losing 50-50 but. Well. she had mercy on me at the v last moment thank goodness 😭😭) so actually ending up liking her character this much just cemented that resolve for good too. cant wait for her!!! like i am still meh on her base design not bc its that bad by itself but simply bc seeles existence just cheapens it so much like. Why are they so similar. but its not bad lmao
anyway to her actual characterization. first of all. the VAs delivery omg yall beidous english voice is already one of my all time favorites in genshin and shes doing an amazing job as acheron like. she started talking and im just INSTANTLY warmed up to her just from that KDJSKDKJK i love love love her attitude and energy!!!!!
n personality wise too??? like ive seen others mention a similar sentiment but its just the way how. even after getting the warnings from now Two separate characters that shes up to no good. im just like. "nah id win" abt it SHSKDKSI like throughout the story she comes off as so damn likeable and grounded and realistically friendly (as in not like. too open n aligned w the player from the get-go to feel believable for the character as opposed to a plot contrivance) that i just. even if shes bad news im team acheron truly.
she has genuinely funny one liners too ??? like not necessarily jokes outright but the kinda comments she says are just . very realistic in that dry witty way that comes off as natural and entertaining shes so charming!!! i love her. the more contemplative stuff she says too
but also like. girl whats up w the ominous red text ily but are we cool 😭😭 and the whole shredding us into thin slices on first encounter in the dreamscape like. Ok uhhhhhhhh ik i said nah id win and team acheron forever but this is kinda. worrisome
BUT that just means im so fucking excited to see her go apeshit too lmao like. oh shes an emanator here to do murder and spread death? COOL i hope she has fun!!
(and ik i said firefly rant over but. what the actual hell is that post firefly merk dialogue option where the games like very heavy handedly implying ur supposed to be blaming ACHERON for "letting it happen" in some emotional frenzy???? bro what 💀💀 0/5 moment i would never. n even if she plausibly did im just. dude her being cold towards firefly is just a plus for me when the narrative has just railroaded the TB into being sooo charmed by her magical presence lmao i Liked that acheron was suspicious n cold)
overall Definitely wasnt expecting acheron to establish herself as such an instant favorite for sure but. shes here now and im v happy abt it im super looking forward to seeing those more dubious goals of her come to the forefront in the future like. im so curious about whats up w her and her memory and that red text and everything

Dhampires were nocturnal creatures by nature, and Sora fought it as hard as he could. He loved the sun and craved the business of the day time, even if he had to wear a ton of sunscreen now just to go out.
But every now and then, he couldn't sleep at night. And couldn't resist the sun's warm rays to lull him into a nap. At least he had found a place somewhat secluded away from people.
This universe was strange, so unlike his own. This was not a universe of demons and angels. This was one of heartless and.... whatever else was here. Where light and darkness manifested itself as physical forces, that preyed upon the heart and it's weaknesses one corner at a time.
And boy, did Sora have a lot of weaknesses.
Sora stirred in his sleep, plagued by images that were not his usual nightmares. Normally he felt rage. Fury at his sire, the one who had killed him and turned him into this. Hate for the vampires that hunted him and wanted him dead. Disgust at himself, for tolerating the monster he'd become.
But this time those feelings only briefly passed through, weaving through his thoughts like fish jumping through a river. The ones he mostly felt was...
Despair.
Grief for the family and life he'd lost. Pain from realizing he'd never be reunited with his parents again, even in the afterlife. Horror from the weight of the lives he'd taken- both from hunger, and to defend himself.
And most importantly-
"Don't do anything until I get there!-"
In his dream he'd burst into tears- but as he awoke and swung up to a sitting position he was dry-eyed, just agonized over the flashback he'd had to endure. The burst of emotions had pushed his traits out, and he was too distraught to pull them back in. Claws and fangs, long ears and stout nose- features and traits of a hunter for human blood. And his eyes, normally a golden color, glowed briefly the color of fire, the flash of pain bringing everything to the forefront.
But then he was shocked, head swiveling to face the one that had been approaching him in his sleep. Like a cruel joke, the familiarity struck him in pain, the shards of his broken heart stabbing painfully into his being. He had asked the witch for an escape from his world, because he couldn't bear the idea of being on the same plane as her as he pursued his goal of getting strong enough to kill his sire and himself.
And yet there she was, her face and scent unmistakable.
"-I want to see that monster suffer myself!"
"Kairi..." he whispered.
The last person he'd ever wanted to see.

i love cyberpunk but the options for body mods were super humancentric and mid. give me some actual fucking animal eyes that can see in the dark. give me digitigrade legs. give me horns, wings, and tails. that actually move based on your mood. maybe i, as v, want to be an exotic, have they ever thought of that? maybe i want to go full furry, angel, demon, or even alien. maybe i want the sexual body mods u nee in the ads. like i dunno what game mechanical purpose my v having 3 mouths would do but i want it to try it on. maybe i want long spindly ripperdoc esque fingers, maybe i want to be able to change my height, maybe i want a different body shape bc u dont need to be thin to be fit or muscled :/
anyway i think they should give us more voice options and pronoun options and give us non modded top surgery scars

“Can you help me?” The young woman asked, her voice calm even though her eyes bordered on desperate. “Please. I have to find my son.”
