had such a stupid fun day just hanging out and being a little freak with the emotes (and. the return of the fridge bit.) that i almost forgot literally the Most harrowing moment in my minecraft life happened today

chilling in my ancient city basement with squash and his parents when the white baby comes and wrecks our shit, sends everyone into a panic, having nightmare stalkers and skeleton thrashers and fucking wardens spawned on us, being directly targeted TWO separate times (white baby back for round 2: electric boogaloo)

squash gets downed somewhere in the ancient city. i'm blind and slowed, nightmare screams and clanging hammers and effect clouds everywhere around me, i have no clue where this dying child is. thankfully i find my way over to them, the white fox glaring down at him in cold silence. i'm trying to focus on getting squash up first, throwing myself inbetween them, tanking every hit so he can run away, getting to the lowest health i've been in an attack so far. but he gets up, escapes, the monsters are killed, time resumes moving, everything's alright again.

my heart's still Racing, blood Pounding in my head, i'm on an adrenaline high like you wouldn't believe. then an egg gets killed in chat. i tail the killer and save another child that got downed right in front of me (whether they wanted me to or not). everyone's panicking, there's a server-wide witch hunt, and at that point i had to step away from the computer and. do chores like a regular fucking human being. my legs shaking like jelly as i walked outside to take out the trash. having a casual conversation with my parents as if i hadn't seen Death in front of me in the form of a fucked up minecraft fox model.

I've only just started chapter 3 of Gaiden but I am absolutely obsessed with the theme of powerlessness and how it's conveyed within the game.

I can't help but notice how often Kiryu says he 'doesn't have a choice' when doing pretty much anything. Even if it's in super banal, low-stakes interactions like doing something for Akame, he's constantly stating that he feels as if he has no agency in his current situation.

In the previous Kiryu Saga games, Kiryu is painfully aware of the consequences of his actions, but he still regards them as choices that he made; not something he was forced into.

His status as a Daidoji agent has basically beaten him into submission. He'll occasionally try to fight against this absolute control over him, but he's eventually returned to his position as a pawn in this huge, shadowy organization. The Daidoji are the first organization/power structure that managed to get control over Kiryu's tendency to burn shit to the ground and good god do they take advantage of that.

But then Kiryu's also painfully aware that this is the reality he asked for. Not only does he outright say this multiple times, but he's telling others that 'they started this' when they're confronting him and it's so obvious that he's talking to himself.

He's constantly bouncing between feeling miserable and powerless and then resenting these feelings and berating himself for having them in the first place. He's grasping at any sliver of control he can still have over his life, not to find meaning in his new existence, but to further punish and abuse himself.

I can't remember the exact post, but I saw someone describe Gaiden as a love letter to the Kiryu Saga and that's the best way to describe it, I think.

Kiryu's arc in his games is an incredibly slow car crash where we witness in painful detail how incapable he is of permanently leaving his life as yakuza to protect his family.

He has this almost codependent relationship with the Tojo Clan and feels a compulsive urge to get involved in the constant crises happening.

Of course, there were outside factors that were trying to pull him into these conflicts. Everyone believes that he's the only one who can fix everything. Kiryu's name carries power. Isn't it disgustingly selfish to refuse to get involved when he was the one who chose the clan's chairmen?

How could he refuse to deliver a single letter after the 5th chairman was shot right in front of him?

How could he ignore the people threatening to take his orphanage away from him and his kids?

How could he tell his daughter that she can't become an idol because of his past?

How could he justify staying alive when it did nothing but bring harm to his family?

What choice did he have?

But remember, you chose this, Kiryu.

Soooooooooo happy first finish of the year/first finish for this blog, everyone. I read i love you, i made you tea and Can you see me? (Or should I keep waiting?) by @oh-snapperss and I've been rotating them in my brain at high speed. Something about their ethubs characterization really just rings true for me I think. It was, frankly, I big inspiration for Ethubs in Rift AU and that was in no small part helped by the fact that Laurie and I did start talking and both utterly ruined each other with those two.

So - I wanted to make something to commemorate that. The phhrase 'I love you, I made you tea' just makes me so warm inside, and this galax-tea that I found by SunnyCrossStitches on Etsy was just...too perfect for the combination of those two fics. SO! Here it is in all it's glory!! I really like how it turned out and now I have a minecraft cross stitching font I can use for all sorts of things as a bonus. And no one IRL is gonna know this is about gay block men unless I tell them, which tickles me to no end.

I don't know if I want to make a separate taglist for stitching versus writing but for now, taglist below VVVV if you don't want to be tagged for stitching/would prefer I make a separate taglist for writing and stitching, let me know

ARO EDELGARD!!!!

While I like her with Dorothea I’m also a HUGE FAN of aroace Edie!!! In her paired endings she only has kids with one person (Ferdie) and even her “romance” endings are more like “she and this person enjoyed each other’s company :)” so I’m absolutely here for aro (and aroace) Edie aaaaaaaaa

Arodelgard Acedie,,,,,,,,,, omg,,,,,,,,,, we're all so real for this I love us all so so so much

Do you think Edelgard would be worried about having children because she's worried that they might inherit her crests? That they might suffer in the way she suffered? I imagine it eats her up inside considering what happened to her and her siblings. She'll have a child or children out of obligation to her empire and her Fodlan but if she didn't have that obligation I think she'd just adopt so she can have kids without the worry of them suffering like she did :)

*tries to write a post about the last 60th Anniversary special*

*is too overwhelmed with Feelings to string two words together in a coherent manner*

... anyway thank you RTD for reconciling me with the entire concept of found family after fandom at large tried its best to sour it and poison it in so many different ways.

*whipes tears away, still smiling and a bit dazed*

MEETING IS DONE. He said I am definitely moving forward. I have to have a meeting with the other grad students in the center, and they have right of refusal, so if they don't like me I will not be admitted to the program. That will probably be next week.
