Imagine revealing that a character's favourite number is 9, on the 9th month of the year, on the 9th anniversary of the game they feature in, where in their arguably most well-known moment they destroy the world for 9999999999999999999999999(etc.) damage.
And then imagine making that favourite number a core part of their character, rather than just a funny meme.
This is where we're at, gamers. Toby Fox can pull deep lore from a character's FAVOURITE NUMBER. What's next, is Susie's favourite shape gonna spoil the ending to Deltarune?
Wow okay but the actual logic behind it is so fundamental and kinda genius? The series does a such a good job in setting up the rules of the dungeon that it feels iron clad but like all rules of course you can find a blurry line in the logic.
i mean it's right there! They tell us at the beginning that no life can be lost in the dungeon but they start eating and digesting monsters from day one! The act of consuming something and making it your own is so basic! Food turns into your energy!! This is such a crazy out of the box idea but also makes so much sense because it obeys the laws of the dungeon and the world so it's convincing and not convenient! Ryoko Kui has built such an immersive fantasy world I am in awe this is one of the best shows ever!!!
Newest paperbacks made for a darling friend. As soon as I saw this artwork from @byldthings I knew I wanted to use it on a paperback and thought it fit perfectly with SITDALIT. Also had to make Ana a copy of Stealing Harry bc it’s such a perfectly wolfstar raising Harry fic. Cover art by the lovely @industrations 💖
This absolute beauty finally arrived yesterday. For those who have read my post about weddings rites in Athens, this is my lebes gamikos aka the ritual vase I will be using for my own wedding later this year.
I have yet to figure out exactly how to reconstruct this ritual in a modern setting etc but the point remains this is going to be a piece of family heirloom and I'm beyond attached to it.
I'm very very grateful to the potter, Roberto Paolini for putting so much work and effort into this piece and customising it for the occasion in accordance with the motifs and themes that are commonly found on ancient lebes.
One side represents a bride with a crown with a dove/pigeon, and the other represents Eros/an Erotes carrying wedding necessities like the wreath.
