#actually it was a joy this time

[party-in-eldarya]

Playing ANE what a joy, part... another part, ep7

Guys, this episode will be mostly about Leiftan. I am sorry if you do not like him, but I find those infos interesting and well, he IS my LI so there is a lot about him today.

Anyway, Erika and Leif got a date, they meet under the tree. Leiftan offered to teach Erika some mediation's technique.

He teaches her how to meditate the aengel style, your honor! She is afraid she will enter his mind, just like she entered Miiko's once.

Um, really? You just got to know her better, and she allowed you to see her painful memories so... here, you can get to know your partner, you were yearning for companionship, for love, understanding, support... here could be your chance.

...But Leiftan assures us that neighter Erika nor him will be able to read minds durig meditation. It's a whole different thing.

LORE! It is happening, it is happening!!! We will get to know something about aengels!

Eh, basically aengels are able to see the flow of maana? But in this state they are also v connected to Eldarya. Erika didn't see anything wrong with the world, so this merge thing seems a bit too much.

He promised to never use daemonic powers...

...but went to Genkaku for our sake, hoping to protect us. However, when the danger appeared- sersea, maripods, attack of Tenjin's kitsunes...

He tried to break his vows or Erika. Damn, that man really loves her.

Just imagine. You are the most powerful creature on this world. Strong, capable, smart. You always believe you are in the right, but during last month you realised your ideas were false, wrong. You almost lost (or lost in same cases) love of your life. And now all you got- the connection to your race, parents, ancestors- is severed. You are powerless, useless, confused. And you arrived to Eel, with it's famour mental health care /s and try to carry on. No one should know it, because otherwise they may deem you useless and you will lose even their protection. You would be alone for real. Poor, murderous baby.

THE CHOICE, and Beemoov didn't give us much hints on which answer would be a "shitty" one. Suggesting him to be more active about regaining his powers gives you -5, but it still seems like an ok answer. Hugging- that's the right option.

Erika offers her help in finding some solution for him- really nice touch that she asks for his permission.

This is a really nice scene, and Erika is v good here. No complaints.

He asks her for her discretion.

+4 maana for our familiar which sours my mood. Beemoov could have ended this scene with two sentences:

-We stayed there for a while. 2 maana.

-It was so peaceful, and I knew that Leiftan felt the same. 2 maana.

...and then write canon lines: Erika has to go pick the dress from Catlady.

it's a date then.

We talk with Purriry, there is an important CHOICE (pick the one about wanting to dance with someone for illu with LI). Erika blushes and Purriry is surprisingly nice to her, while all I want to hear was:

Leiftan and Erika sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G first comes love, then comes marriage then comes...

The dress is nice, but alas, not the colours of my Imo. Will buy recolors. Too expensive, tho.

I went for a little walk and met Lance and his little pet.

A nice scene, Erika mentions that he probably didnt play with familiar... or spent some fun time with anyone for ages. Pet's name is Skala btw.

And that's fine, but scenes with Erika's pet are not. Why, you ask? It's because Skala is here to make us see how Lance has changed. That he has a softness that wasnt there (or was hidden). That he is no longer a person who murders weak, that he values lifes of even those beneath him (familiars). While with Erika we know her thoughts and we know that she is a good person and it didn't change.

...and this is something that my OC Erika would say. See, that episode has some decent writing!

We leave Lance and Skala alone, change to our new dress and then HH appears. Lots of thoughts on how wonderful HH is, how her laughter is refrehsing blah blah. But HH in this scene resembles her TO self.

Does Erika knows what happens during balls?

we got junkin all night Then after the ball its the (after party) And after the party its the (hotel lobby) And round about 4 you gotta (clear the lobby) Then head take it to the room and freak somebody

Erika suspects that answer, but decides to ask HH for answer:

I... didn't expect this. It was... OMG, this episode IS kinda good?

AHEM. When Gardienne had diverse opinion of Lance HH wasn't that happy and accepting.

Anyway, I did little walk during night just to marvel at backgrounds. they prepared night version too! I think they had bigger plans for ANE...

^This will help too.

Chrome is not happy to have party in place where Oracle has died. Karenn seems ok with this, she doesn't seem to respect his feelings... -ish, kinda? But tries to cheer him up. Mathieu admits he doesn't see the problem- but agrees it could be because he didn't even know Oracle, which, for some reason, angers Koori. She is v moody.

HH's motivational speech is about uncertain future, and how eldaryans always manage to preserve. Ok speech (for anyone who would like to add this scene for their stories- this would be a perfect moment to think about Valkyon). However, she ends it with "dance our first dance with someone who is dear to you" which is like, ok? Preschool? OFC, the first one to dance are HH and Ewelein. HH IS NOT A VILLAIN, their love is in our face, the perfect couple, the perfect, caring leader. Her sister dances with Adalrik. Interesting... Or she doesn't give a shit about HH's words and just wanted to dance ASAP. Koori tries to force Karuto to ask Zifu to dance, but because he is shy, she asked fenghuangs herself. Karuto is sad and leaves to serve something to eat. He agrees that he may ask Zifu later for a dance but still, that was a bitchy move.

And Leiftan. Who tried to leave party but for once me and Erika had same wish: to be with him. Wait, was he a bad dancer in TO? Anyway, Erika encourages him to get...closer. INSERT HUMPING FROG GIF.

And in this route their feelings and they craving for physical intimacy are quite well described. It would make sense if they slept together after ball. They had an emotional moment under the tree, they shared their feelings, they have chemistry too. Just writing this because most players said that the sex scene in ep 14 (?) was off and strange.

I think that if Beemoov decided to quit with harem aspect in their games and players are forced to pick one route quite early... then they could have written different scenarios and pacing for each route. For Lance any real intimacy (emotional at least) should happen late in the season, but Leiftan and Erika has something big going on this episode.

Ok, on this route Erika clearly KNOWS what she wants from him. I heard that in next ep she is hiding those feelings again, but here... they are for him to see. She wants him. He wants her. Erika cannot even tell to whom those thoughts belong to. The illu is ugly, but mostly because strange Erika's profile (her eyes are too close). Anyway, it WAS a rather nice scene. The end of episode. I think I will buy some maana when they will put all bank outfits to buy... and will start ep 8, but for now, that's all.

It was IMHO best episode (I enoyed first one too), and I only have minor complains. I managed to talk to each LI (Nevra was a hidden scene, Lance was optional). Karenn and Chrome were more likeable than usual, we learnt something about aengels. There was some awkward moments, and ffs too much familiar, but it was a solid 7/10. Maybe 8/10 because after genkaku all is better. Thank you all who comment, like and subs interact, it makes playing ANE much more fun :)

MC: Hey, Barbatos. Can you stop time?

Barbatos: Why do you ask?

MC: I’m exhausted and I really need to take a nap for a few hours, but I have too much going on.

Barbatos: I fear it would be quite irresponsible of me to stop the flow of time so that you may nap, MC.

MC: What if you took a nap with me?

Barbatos: I am not Belphegor. I’m afraid that tactic will not work on me.

MC: *sighing in disappointment* Okay. I'll ask Solomon. He might know a spell or something. And he'll definitely agree to nap with me.

Barbatos: …

Moments later, Barbatos found himself in his bed with MC cuddled up against him, snoozing peacefully. He mentally scolded himself for giving in so easily while his arms and tail tightened around MC protectively.

“I need to get back to my daughter”

Moxxie smiles as soon as Blitzø says this, the rest of Blitzø’s words fading away. The reason he trusts Blitzø so quickly is him showing care for his own kid.

After his upbringing, i can imagine how greatly he values that.

#Once I got out #I never looked back. #He’s like: “there’s people who actually cares for their kids” and instantly gives him his loyalty #I love when it goes back to current time with Moxxie saying #And he is smiling right at Blitz. #Also Blitz saying “you like kids? Cause #lemme tell ya #they’re a fuckin joy” in the faded dialogue adding to his positive view towards them #helluva boss #helluva boss season 2 episode 3 #helluva boss moxxie #helluva boss blitzo #exes and oohs #vivziepop

individual stills of miguel Scampering on all fours and showing off his more distinct individual movement style (that he has because of his spider-man's Similar-but-still-distinctly-Weird-and-unique powers as compared to the more-graceful Others) so that i don't have 2 keep rewinding the clip(s) to see it. im REALLY excited to see him scuttling and skittering all over the place in the film just like he does in the comics-- and, like, seriously, Miguel Specifically being just. made Massive for some reason in his atsv design will never NOT be funny to me hes SO freakin Bouncy why did they Do That.

don't be Weird on my post or i'll kill you for real

Yeah. that he is going to feature so prominently in atsv IS actually kinda a big deal to me! i KNOW it'll never happen again! #i dont believe in posting while Angry which is why i have not been making as many Original Posts lately but. just. god. #im not like Actually A Danger 2 anyone im just hyperbolizing out of Frustration but #oh my FOD #there r some ppl on this site that i just want 2 kill with my teeth while screaming the whole while like a howler monkey. lordt.

So just had absolutely brilliant idea

Lancer was in Gotham for an extended period of time for reasons but as he was here he decided to make the most of it he went and saw the local tourist attractions he visited the famous land marks of Gotham he fist fought a guy on the street over a disagreement on literature theories, Kissed the guy he fought with and scored a library date with him oh! And he even got to be in a rouge attack how exciting

Basically lancer is on Gotham for a bit and ends up fighting jason over literature but I'm not nearly smart enough to know what they would actually fight/discuss about but anyway they fight have one of those it gets so heated you can't tell if they're angery or horny at each other and kiss then jason asks lancer out on a date

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dc x dp #dcxdp #dp x dc prompt #dp x dc crossover #look i love anger management as much as the next guy #however i just want lancer to find love by fighting jason in the street #and jason severely ecto contaminated/poisoned that he is finally gets the joy of another ecto being fighting him #also just the hilarity of jason 'crime lord/ vigilante in my spare time' todd actually gets beat by a Midwestern school teacher
