not to make angst out of a fucking gag but also thinking about the silly au rei in the final episode makes me think about how different rei would be if she didn’t have literally the worst dad ever. like, no, she probably wouldn’t have been the upbeat adhd whirlwind in the high school au lmao. but it does just make me think. because while all the pilots lives are incredibly marked by trauma, rei's the only one to have never had access to any sort of normal life. her entire personality and worldview is shaped from being isolated, groomed, and taught to see herself as a tool and not a person. and then i just get so sad that she never had any chance of a normal life where she could discover herself and what she is. she went from being abused and manipulated by gendō (which is made even worse with the implications certain scenes leave about their relationship) to becoming god. she never had any chance of living a normal life. and just like. fuck.

#like when people talk about gendō being a bad dad it’s normally to do with shinji but like. he was an utterly abysmal dad to rei as well.#outside of the implications of csa even. like even outside of that she was isolated confined and used as a tool her whole life #like. it’s not like she can just leave. I mean none of the Eva pilots can just leave because they’re being groomed it’s horrible and awful #But like Rei specifically physically can’t leave. both bc she needs her medication which. I doubt anywhere else makes stuff to stop your #body from falling apart bc your at field aka like your fucking soul more or less just is failing.#but also bc like. she’s kinda literally vital for gendōs plans. there’s no way nerv would physically allow her to leave #god like. no wonder she was so insistent on her not getting better treatment than the rest despite the obvious favouritism of gendō #like. yeah maybe she gets scraps of affection but she’s also like. trapped. and also being abused.#fucking biting #free my girl she didn't do shit #Neon Genesis Evangelion

WHAT'S CAMPUS APOCALYPSE....

I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED Campus Apocalypse (also known as Gakuen Datenroku) is an Evangelion spinoff manga!!! It has 4 volumes and 22 chapters, and it's basically an AU series with an action-y shonen feel to it.

It retains a lot of the cast and some elements from the anime, but for the most part does its own thing with the lore! Instead of piloting giant robots, the kids fight angels using these magic-y weapons (Shinji has a gun, for example), and the angels themselves are very different from the main series too. It can be odd at times, but it's a pretty fun and interesting take on the series imo!

The plot gets a little wild at times and the ending is sadly pretty rushed (I think it got cancelled?), but it's a fairly quick read and has enough neat concepts along the way that I feel it's worth checking out! :] (i am of course biased, but y'know)

What Personally makes me so fond of it is that it has more of the main 4 kids as friends, as well as features Kaworu as one of the main characters and introduces him right at the beginning! He gets to interact more with Rei and Asuka, as well as has more time with Shinji, and I really really love how his and Shinji's relationship is developed.

It's not as explicitly Romantic as in the anime (CA mostly focuses more on the friendships; there's some ship tease and it occasionally leans towards Shinji/Rei, but the romantic stuff is vague enough that you can see what you wanna see for the most part imo), but it's still very sweet and meaningful all the same. The development of their friendship is a significant part of the story, and it's not that hard to view it in a romantic light. It's like. Friends to lovers kawoshin. To me

IN SHORT: Campus Apocalypse has a different vibe from the anime and has some interesting stuff, but it may be just kind of average as a whole. BUT it does some specific things really well imo and said things are like catnip to me. If you too enjoy seeing the main four interacting and being friends and Shinji and Kaworu's relationship being able to take more time to develop, it may be worth checking out!

#iwannaholdyoulikeyouremine #asks #neon genesis evangelion #evangelion campus apocalypse #campus apocalypse #nge ca #nge #THANK U SO MUCH FOR THIS ASK IM SO HAPPY TO HAVE A REASON TO TALK ABOUT CAMPUS APOCALYPSE..... MY BELOVED #i've been rotating it nonstop in my mind so i really just took this as an excuse to ramble abt it 😭 tried not to get spoilery tho #also trying to balance not making it seem like the best thing ever bc i don't wanna disappoint ppl but also showing why i love it so much 🥺#it was the first eva spinoff i checked out iirc bc it was fairly short and easy to find to read online #and it ended up doing things to my brain so i got Attached to it. now im doomed to always have it in the back of my mind #toma talks

it's curious to me that as soon as jacks kisses tella she starts showing signs of dying. jacks slows down her heartbeat so she doesn't die right away, but she is dying. she is literally dying until legend helps. and out of nowhere, she feels jacks heart beat and assumes she is his true love. for me this proves little because many things could have crossed his path until the moment his heart starts beating again, but tella just assumes that it's her (something of her kind character and not self-centered at all).

stephanie really wouldn't need to keep tella as jacks true love. she could use MANY ways to explain this, and one of the things that would make the least sense would be keeping tella as his true love

#i have the feeling that eva is not going to be his true love just to not be ''too obvious''#but it would be the most logical thing to do #mostly in a story that talks about fairytales #and has as its protagonist someone as romantic and hopeful as evangeline #it can even sound like a hole in the script if sg doesn't know how to develop it properly #evajacks #acftl #jacks prince of hearts #evangeline fox #legendary #finale

MGS3 SCRIPT NOTES: DEFINITIVE OCELOT EDITION

[All machine translated. Taken from MGS3 scenario book. Comments in square brackets were added by me.]

FIRST ENCOUNTER AT RASSVET

距離はかなりある。スネークをザ・ボスと間違う程。

The distance is considerable. So much so that he mistakes Snake for The Boss.

早撃ち。撃つごとに肘を曲げ、リコイルの衝撃を吸収する。 (オーバーアクションにみえるが、高等テクニック)

Rapid firing. Bends his elbow after each shot to absorb the shock of recoil. (This may look like overacting, but it is a high level technique)

オセロットは大佐から聞いているので、ザ・ボスだと思っている。オセロットの言葉「伝説のボス」の意味には気づいていない。

Ocelot thinks he is The Boss because he has heard it from the Colonel. He is unaware of the meaning of Ocelot's term "The Legendary Boss".

「なんだ? その構え方? その銃は?(麻酔銃か?)」

"What the hell? What's with the way you're holding yourself? What's with the gun? (Is that a tranquilizer gun?)"

目の前にマガジンとジャムっていた運命の弾丸が落ちてくる。この弾丸を本編では首からぶら下げる事になる。いつも弾を弄るのが癖。

The bullet of fate, jammed in the magazine, falls in front of him. This bullet is to be hung from his neck in the main story. He always has a habit of fiddling with the bullet/playing with bullets.

負け知らずだったオセロット、信じられない。自尊心崩壊。

Ocelot, who had never lost, can't believe it. Self-esteem collapses.

スネーク、銃口をオセロットに向け、冷徹に話す。教官のように。

Snake, muzzle pointed at Ocelot, speaks coolly. Like an instructor.

スネーク

「(見真似で流行りの技術を使おうとする若者を見て一言いいたくなった) 初弾を手動で排していたな。考え方はおかしくない。だが、聞きかじっただけの行為を実戦で試すもんじゃない。だから弾詰まりなど起こすんだ」

Snake: "(I wanted to say something when I saw a young man trying to use trendy technology by imitation.) You manually ejected the first bullet. The idea is not strange. But you shouldn't try out in battle what you've only heard about it. That's why you get jammed bullets."

オセロットはこの時の強烈すぎる屈辱でスネークに惹かれる。またこの時のセリフをMGS1 のATで言う。

スネーク

「だが早撃ちは見事だった･･･いいセンスだ」

オセロット

「いいセンス･･････」

―オセロット、動揺し、そこで気絶する。

Ocelot is drawn to Snake because of the intense humiliation/disgrace at this time. He also says the line at this time in the AT [?] of MGS1.

[惹かれる - to be charmed by; to be attracted to; to be taken with; to be drawn to]

Snake: "But the quick shot was brilliant... good sense."

Ocelot: "Good sense..."

Ocelot, upset, faints there.

[動揺 - disturbance; unrest; agitation; excitement; commotion; turmoil; discomposure; feeling shaken]

IN THE HELICOPTER

[Couldn't find anything very interesting here but included some lines anyway.]

ヘリ内(ハインド)のカーゴ内には大佐とオセロット、山猫部隊。オセロットは元気なく、ジヤミングしたマカロフと弾丸を見つめている。

In the cargo of the helicopter (Hind) are the Colonel, Ocelot, and the Wildcat Unit. Ocelot is in low spirits, staring at the jammed Makarov and bullet.

大佐の狂気の行動にショックが大きい。

Colonel fires. Ocelot is shocked by the madness of the Colonel.

SECOND ENCOUNTER AT RASSVET

オセロット

「(嬉しそうに)その構え、その構えだ(見たかった)」

スネークに会えてかなりうれしい。

恍惚のオセロット。EVAは身体をよじって逃げようとする。

Ocelot: "(Looking happy) That's the stance, that's the stance (I wanted to see)." He is quite happy to see Snake. Ocelot is ecstatic; EVA twists and turns to escape.

スネーク

「確かにいい銃だ。だが、その彫刻は何の戦術的優位性もない。実用と鑑賞用は「違う」

オセロット

「･･････ (かなり傷ついた)」

Snake: "It's a nice gun, to be sure. But the engravings have no tactical advantage. There is a difference between utility and appreciation."

Ocelot: "... (quite hurt)."

リボルバーには残弾がなくなっている。マカロフが8+1なので6発で空撃ち! マカロフに

慣れていたのでうっかりしていた。

The revolver has no more ammo left. The Makarov is 8+1, so 6 rounds and empty! He was so used to the Makarov that he was careless.

スネーク、説教を続ける。

Snake continues preaching.

二度の失態に苦い顔。さらにスネークが好きになる。

Two blunders and a bitter face. He likes Snake even more.

手でEVAを制するスネーク。

スネーク

「待てっ!(オセロットが好きになりだしている)」

EVA

「どうして?」

スネーク

「奴はまだ若い」

Snake controls EVA with his hand. Snake: "Wait! (He is starting to like Ocelot.)" EVA: "Why?" Snake: "He's still young."

BOLSHAYA PAST CREVICE

実はザ・ボスはCQC時に発信機を付けた。コブラ部隊はこの発信機のおかげで先回りしている (発信機情報を頼りにオセロットや蛇軍団は待ち受けている)。

The Boss attached a transmitter during CQC. Cobra forces are ahead of him thanks to this transmitter (Ocelot and the Cobra Unit are waiting for him, relying on the transmitter information).

オセロット

「やはり来たな。ザ・ボスの情報 (発信機)は確かだ」

Ocelot: "I knew you'd come. The Boss' information (transmitter) is solid."

―顎でスネークの背後を示す。と、スネークの背後(エリアの入り口) 山猫部隊が塞いでいる。山猫部隊が見張っている。つまりはスネークとオセロットのタイマン勝負の環境を作っている。山猫部隊はスネークにAKを向けている。GRUの一般兵士、コブラ部隊に邪魔されない、通れないように見張っている。

編注:製品版では合図が猫の鳴きまねに変更されている。また、山猫部隊がスネークを、GRUの一般兵士が森の入り口を見張るような配置をする。

He indicates behind Snake with his chin. And behind Snake (entrance to area), the Wildcat Unit blocks. The Wildcat Unit is keeping watch. In other words, they are creating an environment for a one-on-one match between Snake and Ocelot. Wildcat Unit has AKs pointed at Snake. General soldiers of the GRU, watching to make sure they are not interfered with or passed by the Cobra Unit. Editor's note: In the production version, the signalling has been changed to a cat meow. In addition, the Wildcat Unit should be positioned to guard Snake and the GRU general soldiers to guard the entrance to the forest.

オセロット「12発だ･･････いいか、今回は12発だ」

スネーク、戸惑う(銃を抜かない)。オセロット、見事なガンプレイで銃をホルスターに戻す。かなり銃が手に馴染んできている。オセロットらしさが光る。

Ocelot: "Twelve shots... Okay, twelve shots this time." Snake, confused (does not draw his gun). Ocelot, with excellent gunplay, puts the gun back in its holster. The gun is becoming quite comfortable in his hand. Ocelot's character/essence shines through.

一蜂の大群が来襲! 蜂は暗雲となり、空を包む。辺りをすっぽりと包む。夜のように暗くなる。山猫部隊パニックに陥る。ここではまだペインは出さない。蜂が山猫部隊に襲う。スネーク、姿勢を低くして蜂の来襲に備えている。オセロット、たまらない!

A swarm of bees attacks! The bees become a dark cloud and envelop the sky. It completely envelops the area. It becomes dark as night. The Wildcat Unit panics. The Pain is not released here yet. The bees attack the Wildcat Unit. Snake, keeping his posture low, preparing for the bees to attack. Ocelot, irresistible!

オセロット

「(ふん、ふん、えい、えい等、蜂をよける息)」

オセロット、ガンプレイで蜂をよける。

Ocelot: "(Damn, damn, ei, ei, etc. breath to repel bees)

[I think えい is onomatopoeic. One website says this: (1) *son of a bitch!*; (2) *shriek* *aiiee!* Yelled when getting down to serious physical business.]

Ocelot, dodging bees with gunplay.

PONIZOVJE WAREHOUSE

ザ・ボス

「勝手な真似はするな(クレバスでの事)」

ザ・ボス、リボルバーをオセロットに見せる。

ザ・ボス

「奴(スネーク)は我々コブラ部隊が処理する」

ザ・ボス、手の中のリボルバーをバラバラにして返す。対面するザ・ボス。(母親と息子)

オセロット、怒って去っていく(基地に入っていく)。

The Boss: "Don't do anything rash (in the crevasse)." The Boss shows the revolver to Ocelot. The Boss: "We'll take care of him (Snake) with our Cobra Unit." The Boss returns the revolver in his hand in pieces. The Boss faces him. (Mother and son.) Ocelot, leaving angrily (entering the base).

GROZNYJ GRAD

大佐

「必ず内部にスパイがいる」

オセロット

「同志を疑うなど(自分がフルシチョフ派のスパイなので)」

Colonel: "There is always a spy on the inside." Ocelot: "I don't doubt my comrades (since I am a Khrushchevite spy)."

大佐

「CIAの犬め!」

大佐

「残るはザ・フューリーのみか......。伝説のコブラ部隊がいとも容易く……」

オセロット

「(うっとりと。つい本音を言ってしまう) さすがだ･･････」

右手でリトルジョーを回している。大佐、オセロットをキッとにらむ。

大佐

「惚れたのか?」

ボス、白い馬に近づく。

Colonel: "CIA dog!" Colonel: "Only The Fury remains... The legendary Cobra Unit is easy..." Ocelot: "(Enraptured/absentmindedly/in a daze. I can't help but say how I really feel.) As expected..." He spins Little Joe [The Fear's crossbow] with his right hand. Colonel, glaring at Ocelot. Colonel: "Are you in love?" Boss, approaching on white horse.

オセロット、つまらなそうに基地内へ。

と、EVAの背後を通り過ぎようとして立ち止まる。

オセロット「ん?」

鼻をひくひくさせる。EVA、緊張して一歩下がる。

オセロット

「(鼻をひくひくさせる音)」

オセロット

「香水か?(どこかで嗅いだ臭い)」

EVAに近づき、全身をジロジロと見る。右手でリトルジョーをくるくる回している。

オセロット

「ふむ(思い出せない) ••••••」

EVAの足下、バイク用の編み上げブーツを履いている。着替える時間がなかった。

もしくはゴーグルを首にかけていてもいい。

リトルジョーの矢先をEVAの首筋にピタリと向ける。

オセロット

「いいブーツだ。ちゃんと磨いておけよ」

バイク用のブーツ、左足の甲がバイクのシフトペダルでEの字にかすれている? 乗り方が荒いので激しいキズ、または特有のシフトチェンジ癖で独特の形になっている。オセロット、去ってゆく。ほっとするEVA。

Ocelot, looking bored, went into the base. And, trying to pass behind EVA, stops. Ocelot: "Hm?" Nose twitching. EVA, nervous, takes a step back. Ocelot: "(sniffing sound)" Ocelot: "Perfume? (I've smelled it somewhere before.)" Approaches EVA and stares at her. He is twirling Little Joe with his right hand. Ocelot: "Hm (can't remember)..." EVA is wearing laced up motorcycle boots. She didn't have time to change. Or she could wear goggles around her neck. Little Joe's arrow tip is pointed squarely at EVA's neck. Ocelot. "Nice boots. Make sure you polish them properly." Motorcycle boots, the back of the left foot is scratched in the shape of an "E" by the shift pedal of the motorcycle? The back of the left foot is scratched up into a distinctive shape due to rough riding, or a peculiar shifting habit. Ocelot leaves. EVA is relieved.

WEAPONS LAB WEST WING

ザ・ボス、顔を背けて、部屋を出る。

室内からスネークを殴打する音が響く。

戸口にオセロットが立っている。恨めしい表情。

ザ・ボス、オセロットと目が合う。

目をそらすオセロット。ザ・ボス、去っていく。

編注:製品版ではザ・ボスはオセロットと目を合わせない。視線をさけるように去っていく。

大佐の暴行は続く。

スネーク、気絶する。FO。

The Boss, turning away, leaves the room. The sound of Snake being struck echoes from the room. Ocelot is standing in the doorway. Reproachful expression. [恨めしい - reproachful; hateful; bitter] The Boss makes eye contact with Ocelot. Ocelot looks away. The Boss leaves. Editor's note: In the production version, The Boss does not make eye contact with Ocelot. She leaves as if avoiding his gaze. Colonel's assault continues. Snake, faints, FO [?].

TORTURE

大佐、スネークに身体に電流を流す! 震えるスネーク。

スネーク

「(電撃をくらった悲鳴)」

やるせないオセロット。といいながらも大佐の電撃拷問に惹かれる。

Colonel, applying an electric current to Snake's body! Snake trembling. Snake: "(screams as he is hit by an electric shock)" Ocelot, unwilling to do anything about it. But he is drawn to the electric torture of the colonel. [惹かれる to be charmed by; to be attracted to; to be taken with; to be drawn to]

オセロット

「大佐の拷問に耐えたな」

オセロット

「耐え抜いた奴を見て初めてわかった。 (拷問も)悪くない」

オセロット

「究極の表現法だ」

Ocelot: "You survived the Colonel's torture." Ocelot: "I didn't understand until I saw the guy who endured it. (Torture) is not so bad." Ocelot: "It's the ultimate expression."

オセロット「スネーク!(やめろっ!)」

去り際にスネークを見ると、大佐に見えないように、小さくガッツポーズ(やっちまえ)。

As he leaves, he looks at Snake and does a small guts pose so that the Colonel can't see him (Just do it!).

Pメディック

「さっきのお説教は何?」

thinking of jealous sirius black.

sirius, never really caring much about the things he has growing up because he takes them for granted. but sometime between his family slowly icing him out for being different and his explosive gryffindor sorting, he realises their love and affection and regard is conditional. and that’s where it begins.

enter james potter. who wholeheartedly accepts and adores sirius, no questions, no ifs and buts. it’s absolutely glorious for someone like him who’s always had to negotiate love, to be as he is and not have to change himself to be accepted. and he just becomes so possessive of this relationship because he knows how good james is, how he looks at him like a man dying of thirst in front of a glass of water.

james potter is like the sun, shining almost too bright, and sirius wants to hoard all of it for himself. he knows what it’s like to be without light.

of course, most people don’t have the kind of trauma he does, or any kind of exposure to him to know otherwise, so the way his behaviour comes off to others is like that of a jealous boyfriend.

- some dude’s flirting with james and sirius just fully drapes himself over him from behind, arms circling his collarbone and face planted in his neck, all casual-like.

- or like. someone giggling around james and sirius is just. glaring at her with literal thunder clouds over his head.

and you know, so on and so forth, never once realising how he portrays himself, and not caring much once he does either. as for james, well. has anyone ever complained when sirius black is plastered chest to toe against them?

#james potter #sirius black #prongsfoot #i’m in the camp that says sirius didn’t like lily at first #1. bc he’s worried ab james getting hurt #2. he doesn’t think *anyone* is good enough for him #3. he’s possessive and jealous and fears things changing or lily becoming more imp to j #and all of it comes down to this really #eva horribly codependent pair and i won’t have them any other way really #i’m just here for possessive displays of affection by sirius #also i’ve talked so many times about james’ unconditional acceptance of sirius and how much that would mean to sirius #so i’m not gonna elaborate more here #just know. i’m so fkn attached to that thought #i have more scenarios in my head #but it’s not translating into words #oh well #pen’s notes

Not to make another mecha rant at unholy hours about something particular that isn’t shocking and only shocking to me bc my autistic ass learn stuff so slowly but I think after enough observation I finally clocked why people are so hard on mecha: Nobody realizes robots are the appealing aspects but can still be used as story telling tools.

People think mecha fights diminish character development when that’s far from the truth. A mecha in a show is a secondary vessel to the protagonist. It has a connection to them, a relationship, even if it’s not sentient. It is an extensive of their own sheer will power and most mecha fights can be seen just like any anime fight: driven by its pilots determination and it’ll overcome the obstacle. Being in a big robot over fighting hand to hand with super powers doesn’t change this.

If shounen can prioritize cool fights but still tell interesting stories, why do people think mecha can’t do the same? When it being in the realm of sci fi opens up even more deep story possibilities? Why can’t people realize you can have “WAH COOL ROBOT” but also a deep narrative? Why do people always pick one or the other?

People who don’t realize this end up making mechas that don’t fit into both appealing categories because they think having more character focus over robot fights is better story telling, but why would I watch a mecha if the thing it IS isn’t present? Why strip mecha of its identity? Why not just make a media in a different genre if you aren’t going to respect what it is?

There is no “deconstruction”, you simply refuse to watch the actual influencers of this genre. You pick at something you don’t understand and don’t want to learn from because you think you know what you’re doing. You think you know what you’re talking about when you only watched maybe one show and put it on a pedestal without actually trying things.

It’s fine if you did try and don’t think it’s your cup of tea, but most people don’t. They just assume. This isn’t even asking to watch more mecha but to be OPEN MINDED. To LISTEN to people at least when they mention it and be aware of what the genre actually is, and not the fabrication you made up. Learn. Don’t refuse.

#meg text #evening mecha ramble #this is trying to sound deep but probably come off shitty lol #probably gonna be more like myself in tags #Moral of the story If you don’t like old things or toxic fans whatever but don’t talk about shit you hardly know lol #I don’t even like to be involved but as a getter fan im strapped to this #just like ryoma to fate fr fr #(god kill me for that one)#Also no this did not stem from twitter as I look at it less but this also ain’t a twitter issue #we have western mfers make mecha and not understand it and that’s a curse in itself but it’s worse here #also this isn’t aimed Eva hate bc Anno LITERALLY made Gunbuster (a huge getter homage) and mecha fans hating a lot doenst help #but at the same time please stop with saying it’s special or a expectation #your better saying it clicks with you and that’s fine #if you say it’s a deconstruction your pulling it out of your ass

Some may wander onto the church balcony, barely sparing a glance at the rolling rack of plants. "They're just plants. Who cares? Doesn't Eva grow flowers over there?" Sure, there's a scant number of plants growing there. Nothing seems to support the existence of the flowers she grows. No signs of vegetables from those seed packets we give her, either.

(In all likelihood, the developers probably thought that nobody would pay attention, and didn't flesh out that balcony with more plants.)

What many don't realize, however, is that many plants carry medicinal properties within them. Consider that, the next time you pass by pots of herbs at the grocery store. Common thyme, for example, is antibacterial and can be steeped as a tea for sinus infections. And that's just a small fraction of what it can do.

The central shelf on the rolling rack carries rosemary, and some type of gangly plant I couldn't ID. Just generic, silly nonsense, right? Right??

Wrong. Rosemary is more than just a kitchen spice. It's a great stimulant for the brain!

It acts as a brain stimulant

Aids with memory

Aids blood circulation to the brain

Aids with treating early onset dementia/Alzheimer's

Acts as an antidepressant

Acts as an antiviral

Aids with concentration

Has anti-anxiety properties

Where the revenants are concerned, that's a pretty damn vital herb! With bottles of alcohol able to be scavenged, and properly sterilized jars and lids, there's potential for rosemary tinctures to be crafted and traded! (In the absence of sterilization, possibly even whatever they can use that can store the mixture and prevent oxidization from occuring, which can weaken a tincture pretty badly depending on its severity.)

Of course, whether water is still consumed or not is not mentioned in the game (and if it is, I haven't encountered it yet, and I've played since the game launched). Tinctures can burn the mouth if applied directly under the tongue, and if the revenants can manage a bit of water for this medicine, then that's a little less frustration to deal with. The bottles of blood bead cells scattered around the bar may allow for a couple drops of rosemary tincture, as well... if our favorite revenants can stand to hold the first sip of blood for at least ten seconds.

The uppermost shelf has some seemingly decorative plants. The smallest one is parsley, growing out of a generically-labelled Harney & Sons tea tin. Parsley? Really?

Parsley's got quite the high vitamin content, though. There isn't much I've seen on whether or not revenants require vitamins the same way humans do. But, if you factor in maintaining the preservation of the host body, vitamins likely do serve a much higher purpose. Whether or not the BOR parasite benefits remains to be seen, but for now, we're talking the fun stuff.

What the heck does parsley do, anyways? Well...

It's got stupid amounts of Vitamin K, which is good for your bones, and has a lot of other important vitamins and antioxidants

It acts as a diuretic

Helps with eye health

Probably not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things. But it could help boost regeneration. The game kinda flip-flops on how regeneration works in-universe, and for gameplay purposes it muddies further (for obvious reasons). Could parsley help increase the number of regeneration times, or even the amount it heals? Possibly. It can also be consumed as a tea, and there are some herbs whose effects come out best in teas.

Though I can't quite identify the other plants on the rolling rack, that doesn't mean those don't have benefits, either. There are some flowers that can be eaten, or used in medicine. Calendula, for example, is an edible flower that can be used for wound healing -- and it's such a bright and cheerful flower, why not let a couple flowers remain after processing the other ones? Another one is chrysanthemum, which is another edible flower and can help with eye health. (Do not consume the store-bought ones, as those are treated with poisonous chemicals and can really do a number on your body if you consume them. The best way to get around that is growing it by seed, and ensuring that it's non-neotic, at that.)

And if the parts of the plant above the soil aren't safe for consumption, then the roots can be used. Makes a mess, but even the roots can have medicinal benefits. Dandelion is an example -- somewhat of a poor example, because the entire dandelion is edible and not every plant has that classification. Dandelion root is bitter, but it acts as a potent liver detoxifier. Should it be roasted, it tastes just like coffee.

Even if revenants aren't using these medicines themselves, consider how much it would benefit the humans living in the shelters. If we really gotta split hairs, the medicinal benefits could be carried over through blood donations. Entire categories of enhanced blood could be produced by the shelters and distributed where needed. Even then, encouraging more positive trading habits may be more beneficial in the long run. It isn't just "standard" food being grown, but something with a great deal of potential.

Just a little more that makes living in the Gaol of the Mists more bearable.

#code vein #meta #time for me to be positively boring again #i talk botany things and everybody's eyes glaze over #no but all joking aside #moar context for the hows and whys of eva's plants #or at least the scant handful i can identify #sourced the parsley info from a couple websites #the rosemary one was what i had written down in my little medicine book #plants are very important to me and i like talking about their benefits #someone will probably say this isn't fda approved #I'M not fda approved #i just like talking about the interesting things #note that i'm a novice at the botanical things and i only know what i know #there's so much to learn and this is just the surface
