i'm writing (big surprise) and i just can't drop the whole rewriting of END thing. WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE REWROTE HIS LIFE IN ORDER TO SAVE HIM, IN HORRIBLE AGONY FROM HAVING DEMON'S FIRE SPLITTING HER UP ATOM BY ATOM AS SHE USES SOME OF THE MOST POWERFUL MAGICS KNOWN TO EARTH (love) AND SHE SACRIFICES HER LIFE DOING IT (yeah yeah gray's demon slaying ice and whatever is great)
BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT??? THERE HAD TO BE MORE, IT WAS JUST ENDLESS NALU MATERIAL AND MASHIMA JUST "HAPPENED" TO BE A LITTLE LAZY
WHERE'S THE SCARRING AND WHERE'S NATSU FEELING FAINT SHIVERS THAT GIVE HIM A SENSE OF LUCY THAT HE NEVER CAN GET RID OF (not that he wants to ofc) AND WHERE'S THE SCENE OF HER TELLING HIM ABOUT IT, ACCIDENTALLY ADMITTING THAT SHE COULD HAVE DIED, BUT SHE DID IT ANYWAYS AND NATSU JUST VOWS TO SPEND HIS ENTIRE LIFE REPAYING HER BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT SHE SAVED HIM OUT OF PURE LOVE AND HE CAN'T DENY IT AND THEY CRY IN EACH OTHER'S ARMS JUST BECAUSE THEYRE SO HAPPY THEY BOTH SURVIVED THE WAR

if dorian didn't show up, do you think louis would have shot minnie?
I do. I know some people think either he wouldn't have or he would've missed so that's why the writers had him shoot Dorian instead, but mmmmmm no, I don't personally think so. I like to think that if he had taken the shot, his shaky hands would've caused him to shoot her fatally.
Mostly because I'm already so normal about the fact that of the Ericson crew, Marlon and Louis are the only ones with a body count. Well, that we know of, but shown to us in the game, at least. Plus, we know it's Louis' first kill.
Like yeah, Clementine and AJ become part of the crew and they have bigger body counts, and if we're counting indirect kills caused by actions, then Tenn has a count... and I guess everyone has blood on their hands for blowing up the boat... but I'm talking about killed directly with a weapon like....... I lied, I'm not normal about that at all, Louis and Marlon are the ones who have killed someone in Louis' route. I'm also not normal about the fact that Louis kills Dorian and then even as he's clearly in shock, he tries to go with Clementine to get AJ, and then later on when they talk about it, he says it feels like bile but not quite and he's glad he has it in him to do it.... listen, listen, listen... I'm obsessed with that.
Anyway, so if Louis shot Minerva, I think he would've accidentally killed her and can you imagine? He's already enough of a mess after killing the woman who pinned him down and tried to cut his finger off [or succeeded] but he knew Minerva, they were friends before the twins were taken. Even Violet couldn't kill her even though that would've been the smarter thing to do, and we know thanks to meta knowledge that killing her would've saved lives, but Violet couldn't, and I don't think Louis would intentionally either.
Speaking of Violet, if Louis killed Minerva, I hate to think about what that would've done to Vi. I think she might've actually left at that point, like what was planned before it got changed to her being burned. I don't think she would've attacked Louis over it, though, like yeah she attacked Clementine in the cell but Louis? I don't know, but I don't think so just because it's Louis and he'd be a mess about it anyway.
Though if he did kill her, it would be a neat parallel to draw... y'know, because Louis forgave AJ for killing Marlon even though he was pissed and heartbroken, and Violet was annoyed with him the entire time... but could she ever forgive Louis for killing Minerva? Y'know? We already have a similar parallel with AJ shooting Tenn, but still.
If Clementine killed Minerva in that moment, though, then I could see Violet attacking her since in her eyes, Clem proved her right.
So yeah, I get why they added the Dorian kill to his route. It adds another compelling element to Louis as a character, but we also need Minerva alive for episode 4; Louis can't kill her, he can't miss, and he's not going to stay with her because we need Violet to stay on the boat and him to be on shore for all routes.

honestly i wish i didnt know as much as i do about occultism and spirituality because it is so fucking frustrating to see ppl talk about it and they very obviously do not have the knowledge that i have. like i am so open to being wrong, but i see things that ppl are saying and i'm fairly certain that they just ... do not have the depth of knowledge i do, so they say very ignorant things, or draw lines between things in an incredibly (potentially dangerously) overgeneralized way. and i am just sitting here like "oh you have no clue what you are saying right now, do you? you do not realize what you are saying is unfortunately pretty damn wrong." and i have to back away from the screen bc i do not discuss these things anymore due to the brain being constantly ready to dropkick me straight into a mental health crisis
but christ alive i think anyone who engages with spirituality needs to read up on like. essentially Everything they can get their hands on, even if they do not necessarily agree with the ideas being presented, because that way !! you learn !! and you grow to realize what things are borne out of racism and grossly mystifying other cultures and straight up white supremacy and nazi ideology and encouraging psychotic symptoms that lead to mental health crises !!!

I'm in the middle of a Skyrim playthrough where I've been doing kind-of-rp as a high elf Thalmor agent who was sent undercover to join the rebellion in Skyrim and ensure they win, dividing Skyrim and the Empire into two smaller factions that will be easier (and less costly) to conquer separately. The last thing that General Tullius has to say before you kill him - that I wasn't expecting bc I've only done the Civil War once as Imperial, and was so incredibly satisfying in this roleplay scenario - is that "this was exactly what they wanted" in reference to the Aldmeri Dominion nudging this rebellion into being and fueling the fire to weaken the Empire. I can't help but imagine my girly being unable to hold back a little smirk and Tullius seeing it right as she kills him but Ulfric totally misinterpreting it! And approving of her bloodlust for the Empire!! Amazing showstopping incredible!!! 10/10 do recommend playing the Civil War as a Thalmor spy teehee

anyone ever think about how love and grief are two sides of the same coin. shits like yin and yang, love can't exist without grief and grief can't exist without love. To love someone is to grieve them, and to grieve someone is to love them
