Sole asking the companions to give them their best shot and by best shot i mean punching really hard

And when they punch Sole it feels like punching power armor

Hahahaha!! I love it 😊💖😊💖😊

Companions are out traveling with Sole when she suddenly turns to them with a wide mischievous grin. “Punch Me, hard.” She states.

Nick Valentine: “What the- Kid, I ain’t going to punch ya. I don’t even know why you'd ask.”

(Sole insisting.)

“Fine, only because you are so persistent.” 🤜💥

“Damn, like punching a metal wall. You really build different aren't ya Kiddo? (Chuckle)”

Piper Wright: “What in the world Blue! I’m not going to punch you, that’s crazy talk!”

(Sole insisting.)

“Fine! But you asked for it!” 🤜💥

“Owww! I think I sprained my hand. Why are you laughing? It really hurts! And hey, you planned for this!!!”

Codsworth: “Why Mum! I would never even dream of doing such a thing!”

(He won’t do it no matter what you say.)

Preston Garvey: “G-General? Did I hear you correctly? You want me to punch you?”

(Sole insisting)

“If you really insist.” 🤜💥

(Strained) “Oh wow, that really hurt. Like punching Power Armor.”

Curie: “Oh? Why would I need to do such a thing?”

(Sole Insisting)

“Well, if you really want me too.” 🤜💥

“Oh my! That is completely unnatural! It’s like I punched a wall of iron! May I ask when you first noticed this?”

Cait: “What the hell to do mean “punch me?” Do ye have a death wish or something?”

(Sole insisting)

“Fine, But if I break a bone or something it’s on ye.” 🤜💥

“Shite!! And you knew about this and didn’t bother letting me know?”

Deacon: “We training for a boxing tournament or something?”

(Sole insisting)

”Alrightie then, get ready for a good O’l Deacon wind up!” 🤜💥

”Ah, going cyborg are ya? I suggest you add a laser eye while your at it, mine saved my butt many times.”

Danse: “Soldier, your request is out of line.”

(Sole insisting)

”I’ve told you- .…Fine.” 🤜💥

(Strained) “Is this a recent development or have you been keeping something.”

Hancock: “Uhhhh, Come again? You want me to punch you?”

(Sole insisting)

“Well, can’t argue if you insist.” 🤜💥

(Steps back stunned) “Shit…. I’ve either had one too many, or your part Protectron.”

MacCready: “Um, Boss? You really mean that?”

(Sole insisting)

“Fine by me then, but if you start crying, I warned ya.” 🤜💥

(Trying not to cry) “Ack, no, it didn’t hurt all that much….. But you knew about this right?”

X6: “You want me to punch you.”

(Sole insisting)

“No.”

(More insisting)

“Aright then.” 🤜💥

(Blinks in confusion) “Is Father aware of your capabilities?”

Strong: “Strong give big punch!!”

(Don’t even have to ask him twice.) 🤜💥

“Tiny Human skin hurt Strongs hand!! How?!?”

Dogmeat: “Bork????” (He won’t understand.)

Moral of the story: “Sometimes, some people just need a punch in the face” -Somebody on the streets. (Don’t take it seriously)

Thank you Darling for the request, it was really fun to write! 💖💖💖

My RL gameplay (18+)

Finally holidays! Nico has been back home for 2 days & before that, I was with Philip to get some things for his new apartment, which is why we’re standing here now. We’re waiting for him.

I’ve been helping Philip yesterday. We brought all his things here and unpacked all the boxes! He built up some furniture that we bought, but that wasn’t really much & he doesn’t need so much on his own. And today Nico helps P. because he has free time. We also took Nico’s dog with us. Who knows when we will finish here? When I looked around and turned back to N., I saw him “complaining” to his dog about our situation. This looked a bit crazy, I must say! 🤨 😄

Nico (to his dog): You see, as soon as I get home I have to work again! I’m not painting walls ANYMORE! 😩 I’m done with painting & walls for this year! No matter what she says or wants! This is Philip’s apartment and not hers! She has a home! With us!! But woe to P, if he......She’s my girlfriend, you know? 🤨 You like her too, I know dude! 🤜🤛

Me: Uhm...N.? What are you talking about? First of all, this looks totally stupid!! 😄  And, I’m not moving in with Philip! 😦 🤷‍♀️

Nico: Hehe 😬 🤷‍♂️........You say that now! And I know P., it won’t take long and he’ll want you with him. 😒

Me: But I already have a home! With you!

Nico: I hope you don’t forget this! But what if Philip doesn’t think it’s fair that you only live with me? Then what? 😕

Me: I will never leave you! Whether I’m with P. or you! Maybe we can move all 3 togehter, if that’s what it takes? But I’m certainly not going to make a decision!!!! You can forget this!

Nico: No, it’s not about that! ... I want to talk to you, in peace, when you and I are alone again.

Me: Why? 😦 😟 Is everything okay, N.? You’re scaring me!

Nico: No, babe! Everything is fine! I just need some answers from you, just..... for me, to..... get on with this.

Me: Aren’t you happy N.? 😟

Nico: I’m actually.... really happy & extreme satisfied with you! I just want to know what it looks like for you? And just talk about all this.

Me: But you never talk, Nico. You and I never really talk about such topics. 🤷‍♀️

Nico: Are you sure? 🤔 ....Ugh, Idk? Maybe? But...I’m trying to do the right thing for you! You know? ILY! 😳

Me: Ok, N.! I see you are trying! And you’ve really changed! I’ll do anything to make sure you’re fine! I promise. 🙂 🥺

Nico: Ok, babe! Let’s call P.! Where is he? Oh, and tell me what’s new with your parents?

Me: You know, my dad is so crazy and omg, you won’t belive what Ana did! 😱 But.... my dad had the stupid idea, 🤨 💁‍♀️ that you & Philip..........bla bla bla bla bla.....

Nico: Aha.....aha, mhm 😑 🥱 ...yeah, cool babe..... 😴

Me: My dad thinks you like Philip, and you think that’s....... cool? 🤨

Nico: What? 😲 .....Sorry! 😬 🤷‍♂️ I’m just so fucking tired all the time! I need a break!

Now that Nico does not have this stress with the army and soccer at the same time, all the exhaustion comes up, he’s been trying to ignore for over two weeks. And unfortunately, he has to leave soon, for a long time! 🙁 Somehow he wanted me to come with him. Actually, he wanted me to stay here, because of my job, but he was scared! Things have changed now. 😟 But It’s not that easy anyway, with his....stupid soccer!  😔

WIP Wednesday

I was tagged again by @little-lightning-lavellan (thank you for thinking of me).

*shifty eyes* I've been playing with lyrium.

Okay... so it's actually resin, mica powders, & inks... but it's also a nice, low-impact craft. I can give it 10 minutes or a couple of hours, depending on how I feel... and can close the door on it for days if I need to (unlike actual lyrium... probably).

If my sphere turns out (it's got a couple more layers to go), I'm gonna upgrade a premade wood box to a nice velvet lined box (with sneaky lighting), for it.

Since it's already after 9pm Pacific, I'll just extend the invitation to anyone who wants to hop on board. 🤜🤛

Octopath Travelogue, Primrose Chapter 4

...god dammit, my theatre education is failing me. I really want to say Primrose's situation right now is very Shakespearean, but I can't actually think of an appropriate play. ...it's a stretch, but I guess you could kinda say it's sorta a cross between Romeo and Juliet and Othello? I really thought vengeance was a big thing in a bunch of Shakespeare and I’m sure it is but I'll be dammed if I can think of anything other than Othello.

There goes my theatre nerd cred.

Anyway. Let's finish thi--ooh a new shrine. *wanders in like I’m not about to be brutally murdered*

So...like I expected, there’s another superboss in this shrine: Balogar, the Runeblade. I went in just to see what he was like...suss him out, develop strategies to use against him later. That sorta thing. Primrose - Cleric, Ophilia - Scholar, Tressa - Thief, Alfyn - Warrior. There were other skills involved, obviously, but...the most important one was everyone but Tressa having Saving Grace, which allows overhealing.

So I started off feeding Primrose a pomegranate to max out her BP, she used Sealticge’s Seduction. She spent the next three turns using boosted-as-far-as-possible Mole Dance, then the physical and elemental attack buffs. Alfyn refilled her BP in between. I started sussing out Balogar’s weaknesses with Tressa, she started dealing damage to him and his break gauge, and Ophilia used a boosted Heal More to overheal everyone but Tressa and summoned that NPC from Marsalim that has the physical boosters. She did that, maxing out everyone’s physical buffs all the way up to 8 or 9 turns.

He did not last nine turns.

I’m 60,000 leaves poorer but otherwise in good shape, and I got the motherfuckin’ Runelord job. Hell. Fuckin’. YES. 😁🤜🤛😁

You’d best believe Primrose is putting that shit on, equipping the strongest elemental sword we have, and exacting her vengeance on Simeon as painfully as possible.

So. That’s all well and good. Let’s head into town and do this.

Um, speaking of Shakepearean, is that the fucking Globe? ...oh, amphitheatre...no, wait, the Globe was an amphitheater! Fuck it, I’m calling it, it’s a reference! 😀

Huh. Okay. Sure. Let’s have our confrontation right in front of a big audience of mostly elderly theatre patrons, judging by all the gray hair. I’m sure they’re not wondering why there’s a random scantily-clad woman in the aisle arguing with the theater owner in the box seats.

“Prepare to die, Simeon.” There’s the Princess Bride line! About damn time! Well...I mean, not necessarily, but it’s a subtle enough shout-out without banging you over the head with it like it would be if she said “You killed my father” before it.

...Well. This...is profoundly uncomfortable. So...it’s not enough that Primrose was physically violated by Helgenish and his patrons. She has to be emotionally raped too, having her tragedy put onstage for everyone to see. That is supremely fucked up, Simeon, and you’re only ensuring your death is even more painful.

I’ve been thinking about tonal issues with regards to Primrose’s story. Helgenish was almost cartoonishly despicable, and Primrose’s tragedy is so severe that it almost (not quite, but almost) loops back around into hilarity. The moment when she told him to go fuck himself and she reclaimed her own agency was fantastic and it’s mostly been uphill from there, but by and large, it’s still a little unnerving to have a story this heavy in the same game as Tressa’s happy-go-lucky optimistic adventure.

I guess that’s kind of the strength of this game’s design, though. We don’t have to try and interweave all these character subplots into a larger overarching narrative in which they’d be incredibly tonally inconsistent. By completely segregating each subplot from each other, they’re allowed to build on their own tones and themes. If they were tied to a central narrative about killing Anime Dad Who’s God to Save the World, yeah, it’d be pretty emotionally jarring, and it still is to an extent, but the game’s design gives us room to approach each story on its own terms instead of expecting you to accept them as part of an overarching story where the change in intensity would really stand out.

That’s a lot of bullshit words to basically say I’m okay with the incredibly dark tone of Primrose’s story existing in the same game as Tressa’s, I guess. The content is uncomfortable, but it’s the story they wanted to tell, and I have hopes she’ll find justice. At the least, if this doesn’t end with her slitting Simeon’s throat, I will be very upset.

Speaking of Tressa, Primrose to Tressa: “Why, if I were a man, I’d marry you in a heartbeat.” 😮 Oh! Okay then! ...You don’t have to be a man to marry her, ya know. ...But in all seriousness, it’s sweet how even in the middle of her trauma, she still makes the effort to reassure Tressa about her prospects.

Nothing super special about the banter with Ophilia, unfortunately, just more affirmation that Ophilia’s the sweetest girl who will support her friends 100% even if they’re exacting bloody vengeance.

A theater that’s in the middle of a performance? Don’t matter to Olberic. Any time is a good time to challenge some fools to honorable one-on-one combat! Nothing suits the atmosphere of a theatrical drama more than Patrick Seitz bellowing “My blade IS UNBENDING!!!” and “I WREAK HAVOC UPON THEE!!” in the back of the theater and ripping some poor usher to shreds! 😀

Seems we’re already in the dungeon. I appreciate that. I’m sure the writers knew the players would be eager to get their grubby hands on Simeon, so they’re not wasting any time.

aaaand Therion chest in the room immediately to the north.

and another one two rooms to the left. Sheesh.

HAHAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT I used a fire rune with Primrose, she pokes at an enemy, I think “well, that’s kinda lame?” and then a giant fucking fireball drops on the enemy and DEALS 9999 FUCKING DAMAGE WITH ZERO BUFFS. THIS JOB IS FUCKING AWESOME. ...Hold on a moment while I grind out the JP I need to get her Surpassing Power...

10,385 now that she has Surpassing Power. 👌 Let’s wreck this pretty boy’s face.

Even the honorable Olberic pledges his blade to Primrose’s cause. With him regularly dealing on the level of 24k damage? Simeon doesn’t stand a goddamn chance.

...well, Olberic isn’t so honorable that he’s above challenging more ushers to duels in the theater. Hehe.

god dammit and a third Therion chest in a hidden room. This is like the one place I totally should have brought Therion.

...is the actress’s name Shannon, or the character’s? Because if it’s the actress, she just got a ten-year growth spurt onstage in front of a live audience, and it’s weird.

...sure, asshole, I’ll just believe that you stabbed her just so she might have lived or died. 🙄

ah, okay. So you’re not only a drama queen. You’re a sadistic drama queen that literally gets off on tragedy. Jesus what a sick bastard.

(also did they...get...transported to...an ethereal stage or something?)

okay that cue when the voices came in sent literal chills down my spine

holy fuck. no Battle at Journey’s End here...just...is this Primrose’s theme? Or just the general “determination” theme? Whichever it is I have serious chills in my spine.

ok. I did Transfer Rune, then Dark Rune. Ophilia’s pal did the Physical Boost. He’s broken. Everyone except Tress has 3 BP. If this turn does not kill him...

hahaha he didn’t even make it past the Brand’s Thunder, for 22,000 damage.

oh god fuck do you have a second form???

okay maybe not he’s just going to taunt the fuck out of her. ...which...is working. Fuuuuccccck.

okay. Simeon. Maybe you’re right. Maybe vengeance is empty, and all that. Maybe Primrose just wanted to feel something, anything, and that led her to play right into your tragedy. But if you think that means you’re walking away from this alive, you got another thing coming, dipshit.

OKAY HERE WE GO. FUCK YES, PRIMROSE. YOUR FAITH IS YOUR SHIELD. LET’S FUCK. HIM. UP!

He’s only weak to daggers at first! IT’S SO PERFECT.

HAH! End of the first break, and he’s already in the red! He’s panicking and just inflicted silence on the whole party. Normally I’d be upset...but you know what Runelord doesn’t seem to need? Skills. The Dark Rune has been set up on everyone and it is ripping his shit up.

BAHAHAHA! In fact, all it took was one poke and one dark bomb from Tressa to finish him off. Eat it, dipshit.

Yeah, yeah, we get it. You think it’s poetic to recite the same poem at the end.

Welp, the real-life play did not end quite how he wrote it.

See, Simeon? All that psychological torture of her, all that mental rape, and she fucking owned it. She killed you, she does feel hollow, but she does not let that consume her. She resolves to find her own path from here. And until she does...

...she will keep dancing.

Goddamn what a story. I think I need to sit on that for a while before I figure out how I really feel about it.

But until then, I will suggest this, Primrose: as long as you can’t find your own path, you can always help your friends with theirs.
