I'm embarking on a late New Year's Resolution idea and actually playing through all of the unplayed games in my Steam library lol.... Like I'm intentionally setting aside 30 mins every day specifically just to play a game and it actually shouldn't be too hard to work through them. 💪
30 mins x 5 weekdays = probably enough to work through 1 tiny game per week, which would be lots of the really cute ones such as Alba, Mail Time, Beasts of Maravella Island and others that are about that length.
(I literally looked up all of my Steam games on How Long To Beat today to sort out which ones were adorable little snacks and which ones are going to be big time investments 😆)
The slightly bigger 10-hour games can be done in 2 or 3 weeks
then it's time for The Big 'Uns like Wyldflowers and Tales of Zestiria, at long last, after it has sat unplayed in my library for so so many years 😭
Anyway yeah it's time to finally experience and enjoy all of these games I've always been interested in. 🌈💗 it's only, like, one of my most fulfilling hobbies so i should probably be indulging in it, right??

It’s incredibly important to me that the anime decided to include this scene that wasn’t in the manga. In the manga, Maomao does pass out in Jinshi’s lap after saving him from what was obviously an assassination attempt.
HOWEVER, the manga cuts off at this point, keeping strictly in Maomao’s perspective, and cuts straight to when she regains consciousness in bed after being treated for her injuries. The manga doesn’t show how she got back. They SAY how, and she briefly mentions, “wow that must have been embarrassing; he carried me back,” but we don’t SEE it. We don’t get to feel the true impact of what that means. But the anime DID show us, and holy shit.
They SHOW us how taboo this is. They show Jinshi carrying her out of the temple, after a public attempt on his life.
They show us the shock and horror on Lakan’s face as Jinshi silently walks past him. Horror at the state his daughter is in, horror at another man—a man with a status he could never dare to question—staking such a public claim over his child, horror at the fact that he could never have this level of closeness with her (as Maomao would never allow it).
Everyone hides their gazes, as is their custom when someone of his rank passes by, but the air is different this time. Jinshi is furious, he’s terrified, and he could not give a single shit about how inappropriate it looks to these palace officials.
The shot that slowly follows her trail of blood—even though it’s a small detail—that in particular leaves such a intense impression of how poignant this is for him.
Maomao talked about this scene in the manga like it was nothing to her. She did what she set out to do: she saved the person who was targeted by the attack. She didn’t even know the target would be someone she knew. But she has no idea that this happened afterwards as a result of her bravery. To her, it likely wasn’t even an act of bravery at all. She acted on impulse; she did what she knew was the right thing to do.
The anime didn’t need to include this, because the manga didn’t show it. But damn, I’m so glad they did.

OMG I dreamed last night about Cyno and Tighnari living out a happy married life together in a peaceful forest cottage. 😭😆 I do NOT often have "fandom" dreams like that, so when I woke up, I was really surprised with myself, like, why were they even on my mind????
It was so sweet and fluffy though lmao. 🥺 Tighnari spent the day foraging in the surrounding forest, and also communicating with the magical entities that lived in the woods? Then Cyno would come home from his stressful job and they gave each other nose-kisses.
BUT!! One of those forest spirits, idk maybe they were mischievous fairies or something, had latched onto Tighnari and come home with him. Tighnari himself didn't seem to notice, but Cyno detected it with his ~Mahamatra powers~ I guess lol, and he got all defensive and possessive and told it to go away. 😆
Weird dream lol, but kind of cute.

Yes THIS but since Rauru has the exact same energy as my literal dad he would consistently replace Link’s name with another random four-letter word that starts with L and be completely serious about it every time, LIKE SO:

i'm deleting that post i made about arab.org because i have now found out that:
1) the person i heard about it from accidentally got the UN and UNRWA mixed up, and has already apologized and corrected their mistake. arab.org is run by UNRWA, which HAS been able to get direct aid to gaza
2) THEY were misinformed because of a rumor started by zionists
this is my mistake, please stop reblogging that post and carry on doing daily clicks on arab.org!
i do still recommend boosting and donating to Care for Gaza and Gaza Direct Aid if possible, though. please do not JUST rely on arab.org for your contributions, make sure you spread the word and keep talking about palestine as well
