KRANK IT UP! KRANK IT UP!

[che-rrys-stuff]

Thinking about the parallels between Majima's relationship with Makoto in Y0 and with Kiryu in Pirate Yakuza, from a narrative standpoint to a mere visual one :

Majima not being able to stay put and "do nothing" while his loved ones, Kiryu and Makoto in this case, are suffering, to the point of becoming borderline suicidal (as he thinks, because of his poor self esteem, no one will miss him anyways, but Kiryu and Makoto ? They're far better people than him, of course they deserve to live more than he does), making the decision of endangering his own life for even the smallest chance of being helpful, to be able to do something meaningful for them.

Majima's decision to stay away from Makoto to guarantee she will have a normal life, and the subsequent birth of the mad dog as a way to not only regain control from his past traumas, but to also put a shield, a barrier, in front of his emotions. Not wanting to face them, just doing whatever he thinks would be right for Makoto in that case. Mostly due to self loathing (he isn't 'worthy' of someone like her, and will never give her the life she deserves), and because he feels like he could never truly let go of the Yakuza lifestyle.

How could he with a constant reminder of his poor life choices directly engraved on his face ?

All of this is mirrored in the last scene of pirate Yakuza 'the beginning and the end are one and the same', but Majima decides to break the circle : he lost his mad dog persona along with the representation of it, his snakeskin jacket, when he almost drowned back in Hawaii. He 'shed' the old skin, the mask, away and in the final scene decided to, possibly never, put it on again. Even if in a subtle way, he grows from the man who couldn't think of anything but to hide his emotions by walking away from Makoto, to someone who matured and is finally able to confront them.

He decided to give up on the love he had for Makoto for her own sake, but couldn't bring himself to do the same for Kiryu.

His love language is sacrificing himself for others/put their well-being and happiness first. Even if it's one sided, even if it's painful, he does not stop genuinely wanting the other person's happiness.

Something something the way Jod is the Mentor who’s to teach them about the wider galaxy, and in the classic coming of age tale you take children from a sheltered home and teach them that the wider world is a dangerous scary place. Jod DOES fill that role to a t. He tells them forget about home cause you can’t get back. Trust your gut. This is how you survive because the world is a cutthroat place and you have to be quick or you will always be hungry. People are just waiting around to stab you in the back.

And Jod is a LIAR.

Just played Mörk Borg for the first time. Despite rolling up not one but two backup characters, my initial character Katla survived all the way through! She and her compatriots bested the plague pits, the catacombs, the mists, the other catacombs, the wraith, and the gravekeeper! My girlfriend’s character even managed to land the killing blow on the boss. It was super fun.

Zelda Lore help, anyone?

Okay so in a nutshell; I'm looking into how the Fireproof Elixirs work for fanfic purposes.

Link appears to *drink* the elixir in-game. According to the zeldadungeon wiki, even Kass and Ramella use the elixirs too.

But the description??? Of the smotherwing butterfly?? (one of the potential components for the elixirs):

"This rare butterfly lives in volcanic regions. Its body contains a heat-resistant liquid, which can be turned into a topical elixir that offers resistance to flames."

Topical. Elixir.

So is it like a magical potion, or is it like heavy duty sunscreen for your casual day out at the magma lake???

ohhh i see the solution to our problems was dying and coming back!!!!

Hi hi!

Pertaining to our collective nerding out about magical healing, I present you with this nightmare fuel!!!

*Grins wildly*

pyre, wtf that absolutely is nightmare fuel, and it is the BEST THING THAT I'VE SEEN. YES. Magical healing should have CONSEQUENCES. "You're all better now, why are you lying there? on your feet and back in the fight, buddy!" Yes, exactly! Nerve damage! Completely ruined aging process. Absolutely horrific. I love it. Thank you!

WHEN IS THE MAGICAL HEALING CONSEQUENCES FIC ANTHOLOGY COMING?

i love your in anticipation verse so much i’m so happy you added the oscar’s snippets i know you could give that story an all new dimension and i would love if you ever decided to write more of it 🩷

ahhh, thanks so much, nonnie. you guys are so kind to me about this verse, which is both appreciated and needed, tbh. i've got such a bad cold right now and i spent 12 hours in bed (minus the 40 minutes i was pacing my condo waiting for the new painkillers to kick in and save me from the fiery agony of my throat and sinuses), and the whole time i wasn't sleeping i was turning this story around in my head. honestly it's lucky i'm too sick to actually write or our guy Oscar would be going fucking through it. i probably shouldn't be making this post because one of the things i was thinking is that he could get sick 😂 i never want you to be thinking about me while you're reading something i've written, so just erase that from your memory.

the point is whine whine whine i feel wretched but i have mentally made great progress on writing that story in my head - if you consider making oscar sadder than anyone has ever been to be great progress.

Being a Niclays Roos apologist is not a choice. I wish nothing more than to dislike him. Unfortunately his condescending hater demeanour has won me over

your worth is in the story you share, the perspective you give, the love you provide - someone will find meaning in your work even if its just 1 person
