To the Met Ball! (3/3)
Whitney: And remember, if it gets to be too much Boris will take you straight home.
Charlotte: I know! It won't be though!
Darion: You say that now, but this is your first public event, Princess.
Charlotte: I knoooow! I still wish you would have let me go to some when I was a kid!
Whitney: [laughs] I wanted you to have a normal childhood. Sue me.
Charlotte: I just might if we don't get out of this car!!
Whitney: Alright, let's do this!
-
[TV BROADCAST]
Joan: And we're back! To the main event really, Whitney Harrington and Darion Meyers have FINALLY arrived.
Lucille: Not that you're biased or anything!
Joan: Maybe I am. I don't care. It helps that they always look good!
Lucille: That is true. They really are that Del Sol couple aren't they!
Joan: They really are. I mean, played a couple on TV and then became one in real life?? It's a fairy tale.
Lucille: Well except for the cheating.
Joan: SUCH old news- and wait what's this? Someone else in the car?? Oh sh**!!!! It looks like Charlotte Meyers is making her red carpet debut!!!
Lucille: Oh my god!! This is HUGE!!
Joan: There has barely been a glimpse of any of Harrington and Meyer's children since any of them have been born! Whitney in particular is incredibly protective of them.
Lucille: Which I don't fault her for!
Joan: I mean I suppose I don't either. But I'm nosy! What are they all like!!??
Lucille: Well Charlotte seems a little nervous… I'm sure this is overwhelming!
Joan: It is quite the event to pick for a debut I'll say that. Right! Fashion! Well, I think Charlotte's pick is very elegant, which I feel is perfectly on theme!
Lucille: Bella was truly such an elegant figure, it's true.
Joan: I also think it's the right touch of 'vampy'
Lucille: She's a new favorite for you I can already tell!
Joan: Maybe! Now, onto her parents. I mean what else do I say but just… Love! Darion embracing his own inner Bella I think with that suit. And Whitney… I mean that woman can do no wrong in my eyes. I'm sure she did her research too!
Lucille: Red really is her color. Such a pity she doesn't wear it more!
Joan: Couldn't agree more!! It does make this such a treat though!
Lucille: [That wraps up our coverage of this year's Met Gala!]
Joan: Tune in again next time!

if quincy’s bad at comforting people (he’s not, really. he’s just bad at calming people down using words. if they need physical support he’s great at it) then edmond is awful. he doesn’t let other people see him in a state that would require them to comfort him, and the last time he cried in front of someone was when he was a small child.
so when edmond gets an armful of yakumo, sobbing and clutching at his shirt like it’s a lifeline, he kind of panics. he doesn’t know what to do, he doesn’t even know what’s causing yakumo to be so upset but it’s wrong and he needs to do something to make him stop crying now but he.. can’t. the only thing he can do is awkwardly return yakumo’s hug and wait for him to stop crying.
the situation weighs on edmond’s mind for days afterwards. the fact that he had been so helpless to comfort his friend in a time of need makes him feel.. small. he’s not used to not being good at something, but that’s not the only reason the situation unsettles him. yakumo is a teary and emotional person, sure, but he hardly ever gets upset like that. the sound of his cries and how desperately he clung to edmond makes the knight’s heart ache.
it bothers him so deeply that he decides to do something about it. if there’s a skill you’re lacking, the most logical thing to do is start learning how to do said skill. edmond wants to be better. he wants to be a safe place for yakumo to fall. he wants to be able to wipe his tears and tell him it’s going to be ok. he needs to be better. for yakumo. after all the sweet serpent had been through, he deserves that much.
he needs to talk to father olivine.

Y’all are being subjected to my Sims 2 tests, so there
The other set of Vargases came over for a visit and Scriabin picked up Shmee and started talking to Scriabin through him. Very normal, very usual
I downloaded some circle-glasses recolours and hghghh they look so good! Closer every day to his final details! Getting ever closer!
Edgar too! I made him a custom hair with a lighter undercut - I’m mostly happy with it, probably could’ve shifted it a shade closer to his skintone but the texturing was weird no matter what :P And his stripey shirt! I wish Body Shop didn’t have that hands-on-hips pose lol, it looks so much better in-game, but that’s all the better :)
I got some new clothes for Todd as well! As soon as I saw this ‘fit I was like “Oh that’s 100% Todd there he is.” Scriadad hug ♥ So cute
Foot-dancing together stopp it’s so cute!!
The way he looks at them stoppp <3 <3 They kept doing this right up til they left for home haha, Todd’s giggles are the cutest
Used SimPE to save him to the Body Shop, I now have infinite copies of The Boyyyy ♪
Moved him in with his “parents” as just shadow people basically, they’re not gonna matter in a bit as long as I remember how to get the Social Worker/Adoption process to work properly. Get her Todd!!
Wanna play? :D
Menacing :(
Look, Todd, your new dads are here! Initially I wasn’t sure who I wanted to adopt him, got lots of options; the first passes, the married couple with their own Todd, Johnny?? He definitely doesn’t have the facilities for a child lol
But these are the ones that showed up on their own, so the married Vargases are the winners!
Scriabin cares more about him than his actual parents ;; A stranger off the street shows him more care! Not that it’s a high watermark
Look at him being a good dad!
Weh, he just wants friends ;; Poor baby
Best timeline, thank you
While we wait for CPS, let’s get some other interactions in! Nny is mean so he tended to prank the other two with a nose flick - mostly Edgar lol ♪ Now kiss
“Oh please don’t break all my bones~ :3” I love Todd looking up at them haha <3
Pffft, I think he was talking about the other Scriabin and just how attractive he is. Classic Scriabin. Alternatively, also funny to imagine him bragging himself up about how he’s just so handsome that Edgar can’t help but love him hahaha ♪
Allow me to tickle you with my KNIFE! >:D
Get a load of this guy lol
He ended up passing out at one point - I forgot which motives make CPS show up >.> - and completely 0%’d his comfort, but for some reason stargazing increased it?? It’s the same ground wh
Is two not enough to satisfy your butterfly bloodlust child?? He ended up with three, I had him release them before he was picked up by the Social Worker - success!
He rolled a new Want as soon as Todd was taken away - “Wants to see Ghost of Todd” Woah, dark! :0
And here he is on the married Vargases’ lot!! Success!! I did it right!! Heck yeah! :D Unfortunately they were uh, indisposed at the time. Good job guys pft
Goes right for Shmee, he really is Todd <3

thinking about guardians and i have so many questions like where do their ghosts go in general? when they’re not around? ghost called it a “backpack” once but what does that mean? where do they go when guardians do the nasty? do they know? do they pretend no to know? are the interior of ships like apartments? its almost 3am i have so many questions

ok ive finished puyo chronicle. dont play puyo chronicle. if you want to see puyo chronicle just watch the precise museum video uploads of it and ignore the fact they dont have eyebrows because its in citra. im gonna talk about puyo chronicle now.
absolutely miserable slog of a video game. every single open area is nearly completely empty and full of dead ends. every chest is full of lame rewards that i almost never got use out of and i eventually just stopped opening them so i wouldnt have to fight mimics anymore. you dont want to explore anything because there's hardly any reward for it and your movement speed is so slow there's even less of an incentive to go out of your way to trek to a random corner of the map for 200 coins that you wont use.
the final gauntlet, which is a 15-story tower, comprises of like, three stories where something happens and the rest are completely empty and only occupied by common enemies, which by then you will be tired of fighting and actively be avoiding encountering. the devs made a bunch of maps and said thats enough game design for today<3
and then, at the end of it, you fight a final boss that had literally nothing to do with anything else up until that point. rafisol really had the potential to be an extremely cool antagonist if she had been involved in the plot from the getgo but instead she shows up having not at all been foreshadowed prior, you do the same lame fighting style youve been doing for almost every encounter up until that point, and the only saving grace of it is a really cool battle theme. its pretty bad presentation to just watch this supposedly UBER powerful absorption themed final boss just float there menacingly and occasionally throw a line of nuisance puyo at you. rafisol has a lot of cool animations, i dont know why you'd rob her of the chance to show them off in a dramatic way!!!! aaah!!!! its all really disappointing because she's the only female final boss character besides doppelganger arle and shes stuck attached to this soggy sad nothing burger of a video game. i want my evil women INVOLVED sega
puyo characters have never been the most complicated to figure out but they are NOTICEABLY flatter and more annoying. you can see it the most on sig and ragnus who refuse to talk about literally anything other than "bug!" or "im the hero from videogame world!" respectively. the plot spends all its time being completely aimless other than the vague idea of "if we find these stone pedestals, something will happen questionmark???" up until ally randomly starts getting sick when rafisol starts ready to hatch from her evil egg or whatever. the plot's idea is that satan modified this story because he wanted to go on an adventure with arle. and well chroni writers i have to say you guys arent really doing a good job of conveying that when the only places you see satan are at the very beginning and very end of the game.
hey speaking of characters hanging out with arle. theres. too many. of them. i think they were just trying to make the whole skill battle team thing make sense in universe but i think itd be a lot easier to just focus on like. the A trio and Ally and you only hang out with the other characters in the areas they're actually relevant. and they just go "well arle ill be there to help you if you need me!" but they dont physically come with you and then we just pretend that makes sense.
anyway despite it all i still like ally and i still like rafisol despite both of them having terrible haircuts god bless but i wish they were in a video game that didnt suck absolute egg!!!!!!! like i said earlier rafisol couldve been extremely cool if she was involved early on and wasnt just some unrelated problem girl. ive been playing around with a few re-write(ish??) ideas that ive been sharing with my friends to keep my sanity while trudging through this videogame and i might share some of those some other time.
until then please look at this picture again. my favorite part about this game is when accord holds popoi like this. every time popoi was on screen i briefly forgot how much not fun i was having
