#i can't describe how much you mean to me

[icewindandboringhorror]

#cats #outing myself once again as someone whos not attune whatsoever to human culture but - in all honesty I do not know #what 'psspsspss' means despite loving cats my entire life hghj.. I've just seen people online describe that as how you call a cat #but I have never in my life witnessed someone call a cat by making that noise or made that noise myself. I can't even think of an example o #it so I genuinely don't even know what that's supposed to be but. Included because I've seen it so much it must be something to someone #even when I was a kid I pretty much always just meowed to cats and tried to sound exactly like them or whatever meow I associated with them #obviously not literally saying “ME OW” but doing an actual cat meow. often times a kind of 'prrrow' sort of noise where you trill your tong #ue then lead into a softer vocal tone .. maybe like 'mrrrrauh' or something? Or sometimes just a trilling chirp immitating the #cat's ''mrrrrp'' they do sometimes. I used to mimic small kittens to get the attention of cats #with their like very high pitches squeky whine with a little bit of air out the nostrils at the end to imitate the sound of them having #tiny lungs that don't hold much air so with a long loud 'mew' it's sometimes a little strained near the end #Though usually I just imitate the cat that I'm around at the time. Sometimes I have done kind of a combination kissy lip sort of noise #tongue clicking. almost like tapping on the back of your front teeth with your tongue and sucking in. almost makes kind of a squirrel noise #ANYWAY... curiouse....

Yk at this point I might as well write the novella length post I've been meaning to about Dan Heng and how he used to view Jing Yuan vs how he views him now

#muse: dan heng. #The more I look back on the storyline; the more details I find about JY's importance in DH's life from the moment of rebirth til now #It does amuse me tho that DH used to be on the dislike end of the spectrum bc he was always left in the dark about his sentence #but it made me sob when in his voicelines he said that (after a while) he understood that the banishment was actually a mercy given to him #and it's making me so :') to think about how DH was about to leave the Luofu the second JY went to recuperate bc THAT'S #when he no longer felt safe on the Luofu. when JY wasn't around anymore. I may have lost it a bit at that scene I fear #(double that when in Jingliu's quest DH was about to pack his bags and leave again when she told him JY isn't there/is busy w smth else) #like JY went from being sb DH mildly disliked to being sb DH canonly feels /safe/ around and I can't even describe how much that means #The scene above is just one of the MANY reasons why he's warmed up to JY as fast as he did but it's def one of my favorites #JY: I can't guarantee your safety. I hope you can understand #Also JY bless his heart: (joins the fray to guarantee DH's safety against assassins even tho he's still recuperating and barely standing) #Their dynamic is so close to my heart NO MATTER in what light we look at it. And Blu only made my brainrot worse w our plotting

[devilbrakers]

okay jasper brainrot again

#i need to replay soon but i can't stop thinking abt how felix and mason are like. the first people that jasper ever feels truly #comfortable around. i think it probably comes first and easier with felix given his personality and jasper just feels really drawn towards #it. knowing there's something 'off' abt all of them from the beginning but hardly ever feeling human themselves so taking it in stride and #enjoying it above all bc it makes them feel more at ease #and the situationship with mason. they care soooo deeply about him but don't rly fall in love with him until a little later on than the #books describe. they see him as a friend first and just find his personality (beyond the prickliness) so refreshing and comforting bc he rl #doesn't care what the others think and just kinda deals with everything as it comes and doesn't bother trying to live in denial #just him being like “yeah okay. i love you.” and it not being a super big conflicting ordeal is really touching to them despite their own #inner conflict #idk!!! just ub being their found family (despite probably never truly repairing their relationship with rebecca) makes me so :') #i wrote wayyy more than i intended jfkdslfj i forgot how much they mean to me 😭

Okay I can’t say this enough but Sorey as the protagonist really embodies the themes and messages of Zestiria so well that it feels like you can’t truly like Zestiria if you don’t like him. He’s the narrative itself, he might as well be called “Tales of Zestiria” the character.

As an anniversary title, Zestiria puts emphasis on inheriting from your legacy and how to evolve and build on top of that legacy respectfully. From this you can see why the developers would draw inspirations from actual history, and since it’s the Japanese history they’re intimately familiar of, they went with it.

Japanese history has always been highly influenced with spirituality, that’s a fact that Zestiria also tries to bring up. We’ve come so far in these modern times, but that’s also thanks to the many eons of traditions that we’ve exactly come a long way. Think about it, the time we get to live is so short compared to how long the world has lived and will live (yet the world is also still young, it still continues to evolve), recorded in history or not. We’re all connected from the past to the future. If we forget about it and don’t show the gratitude, who will?

I’ve talked about “born Shinto, die Buddhist” but that’s how uniquely pluralistic the Japanese society is. It’s not even moving from one to the other, because both are still practiced, even though people in the modern times often think they don’t have time for things like these anymore.

On one hand, Shinto is really all about how sacred this world is, and that includes your life, so please cherish yourself as well. It is exactly because Sorey, as a mere human who really is not all that special in the larger scheme of things (yet he’s still part of this world, the only one he has), has pure appreciation for the world around him, excitement and curiosity for the mysteries yet to unfold, and the eagerness to pass this feeling onto others that he’s in tune with himself and conscious of the way of the 神. Living in harmony. On the other hand, death is an inevitability of human condition, and Sorey, as the 導師 (a word that also specifically means Buddhist monk for funerals in Japan, as mentioned before), has come to regard death as a way of salvation. Death is often seen as something so sad, so unfortunate, but he has learned that perhaps it can be a release for some. Life is beautiful, life is sacred, but life is also suffering. That is just being human.

This ties in nicely with what he wants to do and what he needs to do. There is passion in both. The things he wants to do, it’s because he knows life has so much more to offer out there, and he has plenty of time and energy for all that! The things he needs to do, it’s because he took upon that responsibility himself, and with that he has to accept viewpoints and approaches he might have had a hard time agreeing with before, but thanks to those his horizons widened and again, death is an inevitability, it must happen. However, both of these don’t exist in vacuum, they’re both interlinked. Both of these are what make a human, human. The more you respect life, the more you respect death. The more you respect death, the more you respect life. A balance is needed here, and in the end, he doesn’t tip the scale too far in one direction, yet he doesn’t lose a sense of himself.

Then you have both Shinto and Buddhism teach you on how to conduct your own self, in relationship to your life, mostly. But you’re not alone, there are others, and they’re different, that should be celebrated! Precisely because there are others that you can shine more in your own way. Each of us has a role to fulfill, and that’s fine, let’s just all work together towards a better future for our successors. In both Shinto and Buddhism, the human is originally pure, yet life makes them be afflicted with either kegare or kleshas. There’s no way around this, that’s just another fact of life as a human, and Sorey accepts this, accepts that malevolence will always be there as long as humans exist, but they don’t and won’t get to define humans, ever. Humans are so much more than the malevolence; humans and malevolence might be inseparable, but they’re barely one and the same. Despite everything, everyone deserves their own chances to come to their own answers.

I don’t know I’m just thinking out loud how much I love Sorey as a character (and subsequently Zestiria as a whole). I’ve been saying this since 2015 but in my eyes he’s one of the most well-executed characters Tales has and I will die on this hill. Not saying it is without its hiccups, but Zestiria is really a thematic masterpiece to me. Everything fits together nicely like puzzle pieces; it starts with this one idea, expands, and then converges again to that one idea.

Just look at him. I love him so much I could combust. The legend that has become “hope” to me.

#mino rambles #mino talks zesty #i'm whelmed with FEELS and suddenly all these words pour out #sorey lovemail #zestiria lovemail #i can't stop thinking and overthinking and then falling in love again with this dumb little game #so charming and despite all the wordvomit #words still aren't enough to describe how MUCH i adore tales of zestiria #i really mean this with all my heart and soul without a lick of irony and i've been doing this since january 2015 #i will never take my words back #you will find me dead on this hill. or not. #because even if i die i will still through sheer will alone haunt that hill and protect it MY LOVE WILL NEVER DIE #EVER #and you'll be sure of it #i love tales of zestiria #ok shut up mino you've talked TOO much #i will stop here #over my dead body tho #also i said thinking but truthfully i think i'm always head empty i'm incapable of thinking properly #it's all about FEELING i guess to me #there's no overfeeling tho lol #this makes me sound insane but who am i fooling i'm indeed insane

rin and his feeling about "rin's similarity to sae" is so interesting but confusing

#like this guy states that he hates how his face is similar to his bro #i don't think he is lying about this part #but before the snowy night does he think like that too? #in his spin off novel it was very clear rin get compared to sae a lot and that he is in shadows a lot too #sae even said it in the main manga during their match off (tho im not sure if he really MEANS it) #(like he could be but i feel like there is something more there) #but back to rin. you can't just ignore how much he idolizes sae #you don't just walk out from that. even when he thinks sae was about to acknowledge him his eyes SHINE #doe eyed rin made a come back there so #do you really think he will truly hate being similar to his brother? someone he admires and hold dear for years #the anger is there yes. but the love is clearly still there too #itoshi brothers pls end happily im way too infested already #babblings #i know i said isagi posting but let me have this just for a minute #because like hc but rin might have a mixed feeling if someone said #“oh your face is not too similar to sae actually” like #at first i think he will preens. but yeah mixed feeling i think will describe it better #probably in a further chara development he will takes it casually. but now? yeah no way that's a complex there #when will i walk out bllk hell idk man i would like to know to actually

crying bc of ffxiv saying life is full of sorrow and suffering and you must acknowledge it and you must choose hope and joy and kindness anyway

#this scene at the temple with matsya and the villagers reminding me of how much this game makes me cry #seriously any of my mutuals on the fence about playing this game #the final boss in endwalker is the embodiment of despair and nihilism and you defeat it with the power of hope and kindness and friendship #an mmo really looks you dead in the eyes and says you must choose kindness on purpose! you must choose hope on purpose! #maybe life has no inherent meaning but you must give it one! #i like can't properly describe how beautiful and incredibly written the story and message of this game are #it will rip you apart and put you back together again #fel's ffxiv #endwalker lb

" I love you entirely and endlessly " is a phrase Amor and I often say to each other, and now the fact that Micah is saying this to Warlock is making me so so so mentally ill.

Ok, so Big Finish Liz does actually basically acknowledge P.R.O.B.E. That's...I wasn't expecting that tbh. That means that Big Finish Liz is married to Patsy.

#Ik it's all the same Liz ofc and you can take what you want as canon #But the fact the official audio dramas acknowledge it makes it more real I guess (not to me bc I'd say it was canon anyway - just generally #I honestly cannot even begin to describe how much queer Liz Shaw means to me #Like not even bc I relate to her but I guess bc she's a woman from the Jon Pertwee era which is my favourite #I can't believe I didn't used to like her 😂 #Doctor Who #Liz Shaw #Big Finish #Classic Doctor Who #Doctor Who P.R.O.B.E. #Text post #Big Finish Companion Chronicles: Shadow of the Past
