I also did play a bit of Hard West 2, to talk about it, but also to expand my expand with different cover based tactics games

more than six sentence sunday
thanks to @kiwiana-writes for the tag (i'm devouring your new fic right after posting this)
pls accept the beginning snippet from my next Fandom Trumps Hate fic -- initially inspired by the West Wing episode, In The Shadow of Two Gunmen.
“Alex! Alex, over here!”
There’s nothing quite like a rope line.
“Alex, would you sign my program?”
Even after the leak, they’re energizing. They have all the immediacy of social media, but lend themselves to so much more. Sure, Alex can make waves by responding to a tweet or posting on Instagram, but he thrives on actually looking people in the eyes, shaking their hands, posing for a photo, hearing even just some small part of their lives.
“Alex!”
He thrives on making a connection, however fleeting.
“Let’s keep it moving, Alex,” Amy says from behind him.
“I’m just giving the people what they want!”
Zahra swoops in before Amy can even roll her eyes. “Get your ass to the car, kid, if you like where your nose is.”
“Threaten all you want, Zee, you know you love me.”
“I despise you.”
“That would be a lot more believable if you didn’t insult me so much,” he teases.
open tag for anyone who wants it bc i'm nosy like that but especially @cha-melodius @leaves-of-laurelin @inexplicablymine @historicallysam @welcometololaland and @three-drink-amy for consistently tagging me in writing things even though i only respond every now and then

After doing every possible thing to avoid it, I have just played Arthur’s final quest. I did everything I could before the end of chapter 6 bc I’m going for Best in the West, but, it’s over.
I’ve taken tons of photos, I’ll share them soon once I go back on to play the epilogue.

anyway i love being asian and i love saying that out loud with my whole chest out. there's so much tradition and history in our culture and when you're in the west sometimes you fail to understand or you miss the sentiment, the reasoning, the point, of certain practices within the culture. either that, or you feel ashamed of them. until you start seeing, for example, white people doing and taking up practices belonging to the asian culture and you, as an asian, are like .... uh ............ what the fuck am /i/ doing being ashamed about it then .......
like. for example, oiling your hair. when i was a kid, my ammi would oil my hair every single time a day before i was going to wash my hair. that act, yes, held so much meaning for the both of us. it was something my naani did to her, so she did it with me. generational. it was our bonding time. it was her teaching me how we look after our hair. and then ... as i grew up, i didn't get my hair oiled by my ammi anymore. when she asked me why, i had said to her back then that i looked greasy and it was so embarrassing because i'd smell of oil when i would go to school and. yeah. she stopped doing it. and my hair got damaged. and its been years and today, i saw my ammi oiling her hair, and she just called me over, and i sat on the floor and she oiled my hair. and it just felt. like a lot. and i felt ... heavy.
and then i realised that despite being in my late twenties, there's still so much left in me to unpack and unlearn and relearn wrt me being asian. i thought i'd gone past that phase. but i haven't. and thats okay!
which is why its so important for me to have ... this space ... i guess ... where i can validate myself. where i can watch things that are asian, made by asians, doing asian things and following the culture so that i too feel comfortable in my own skin. in the people who look like me. in the food i eat. in the clothes i wear. in the languages i speak. in the art and media i enjoy. in all the big and little things i do.
but anyway. i love being asian. i wish i could talk about it more and how much it means to me when i make a deep dive and indulge within my culture and how rooted that makes me feel. i often feel like i've neglected so much of what it means to be asian, but its still not too late. and there's a deep comfort in that.

FINAL FANTASY IV BEST FINAL FANTASY!!!!!!
Tbh I don't even remember why I bought IV on the GBA over V (I LOOOOVE EXDEATH) but I made it to the part where you meet Sage Tellah in the cave and stopped in that safe room right before the boss fight in the cave. The plot has me really interested in where it's gonna go though; having the protagonist slaughter like two entire villages back to back right at the start of the game is a WILD hook lol
I also appreciate getting to play an adult that's fully aware of what's going on in a FF game for once haha Though, I've beat 7 and 8, most of 10, and played only a bit of 9, 10-2, 5, and 15 so I know 4 isn't the only FF that doesn't have a young/naive protag.
Cecil looks cool affff
hell yeah

okay time for a real thought. penelope king (nee, florence) is the youngest of three sisters: medea (seven years older), helen (three years older), and then herself. their parents are octavia and septimus florence. penny's eldest sister, medea, volunteered during the second quarter quell and placed 2nd. helen was never a very strong fighter or had any real talents despite trying her best and was never on the list to volunteer. penny was borderline picture perfect and even said in her interview she'd win for medea's sake. however, given her actual performance in her game (crying/showing genuine remorse every time she had to kill) she was considered a disgrace by her family, her academy, and her friends. years later the only family member she still talks to is helen, who's now a jewelry maker.

Got some good miles on the boy, we did 13 miles with a friend. We headed out directly after work and I didn't check the temp, but we got home at 39F and it was nice once we got back moving after stopping to hang out on the swings at a park lol
I intended on taking it easier/easing into mileage again a bit more after hurting myself but we went at a normal pace instead of our usual feralness and I felt/feel great, so relieved to not be as nerfed as I worried. Still not running for a bit more time as much as I WANT TO, but at least I can roam again

It delights me that I've been living here long enough to recognize multiple names in the book I'm reading about the group of Ozark back-to-the-landers either because I've actually met the person or have heard about them through the community.
