terribly designed game how was i supposed to play through the tears smh

[loldope19]

after about a week of avoiding playing Until Then due to being scared to cry for the third time (no really, i don't have classes to take up my usual schedule), i finally summoned the courage to go through with it and to finish what I started playing these past 2 weeks.

and oh boy did i cry...

...tears of joy this time around, thankfully!!

mostly because CATHY'S SAFE YAY!!!

that said there's something heartwarming about being thrown thru all that mental and emotional trauma across hundreds of lifetimes (and remembering every single one) and still manage to find the will to live and move on, both for Mark and Nicole.

and i think it's really sweet how they always manage to find each other in all realities--

like BRO they're practically SOULMATES!!

that said i can confidently say that i have found one hell of a game!!

also as a ridel simp i'm lowkey miffed that he's not included in the main poster w/ his best friends so here you go--

I'm saying this very quietly, on a Sunday night when nobody is likely to be online: my fractal gallery is live again. Nothing in it is more recent than 2012, because that's the last time I did any kind of an update. Theoretically, I'll be adding things to it at some point. But for now, the old stuff is there.

So I normally don’t normally shill my fan fiction on my tumblr account but I heard @pixelatedraindrops was doing a fave having a sick day challenge and I thought it’d be fun to make my Rain Code OC Ryoko suffer a little, while Makoto is forced to take care of this idiot lol. I don’t think it’s that well written but I did my best, Happy Probably belated birthday Pixel!!

in truth, kaveh had been in fontaine some time before he makes it to the capital.

once the waters abated and it was safe to traverse there he was, terrified to have lost yet another parent to circumstances far beyond his control (beyond simple encouragement to pursue a dream, the weight of which no different to him than had he killed them with his own two hands). faranak had managed to get word to him well before he reached the city that she was fine, her husband was fine, and so were his two young half-sisters.

so instead of rushing ahead, he backtracked.. still intent on reaching them, but no longer wearing blinders.

assisting with rescue efforts and taking stock of the wreckage. the larger settlements were fine - though the death toll was nothing to sneeze at. poisson and the fortress had acted fast, but in a divine flood - no one is fast enough to save everyone.

the best they could do was honor the dead and rebuild. and so he did, working in the coastal towns to help where he could. mehrak could scarcely keep up with the plans he was throwing out, feverishly drafting the most comforting structures he could when he knew they had to house so many. materials were lacking and it wasn't as if he were ever flush with mora, but soon enough the people had something resembling a home. shelter to sleep in. something to cook on. temporary, at least, with the promise he'd be back. they wouldn't be forgotten.

by the time the missive comes from the iudex himself (communicated by lesser lord kusanali in his dreams) he is nearly at the city. he is tired, bruised, and feels nearing a limit even he hadn't realized he'd had - but the words are reinvigorating.

now a week and change later, here they are. watching the people come together to repair their home... he had been right there with them up until a few days ago, when a piece of particularly unstable ground gave way and he'd ended up with fractures in several different places.

so now he plays foreman rather than jack of all trades. it's different to appreciate the view here, and it warms his tired soul.

the heavy footsteps of the nation's new leader briefly pull his attention away. kaveh glances at him with a smile, then returns his gaze to the construction. noble and peasant alike, working together.

"you know..." his expression is soft, as though there were no greater joy to be found.

"it's beautiful what can be set aside in the face of disaster. i think... humanity is at its best in moments like this. which may be kind of tragic, but i think... i think it's beautiful. what strength can be found in others, how you can pool what little you have left to give with each other, suddenly finding there's more than enough to go around now... somehow making it all work when all else fails."

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 if only in the most perfunctory sense. For all that Neuvillette has never needed to consider the mending of flesh and the convalescence required to recover one's health, he has at least witnessed the various maladies that have afflicted the mortal children of Egeria. It is a testament to their will, how quickly they recover when given enough time, how close to recovery they achieve as well.

How could such fragile creatures carry such strength within their hearts?

He takes this strength for granted as he does with much with the human world. It is only in the aftermath of his nation’s recovery efforts that he begins to realize their resilience. A prophecy come and gone, the realization of a fate ordained to be their end and yet they’d survived for the love of a goddess had been all consuming, all sacrificing. Her belief in her people so unwavering. He’s known for a long time now that the people of Fontaine will continue on, that Focalors’ sacrifice will not be for nothing.

Rebuilding a nation is not unlike the mending of a body. While his knowledge of healing is textbook, gleaned between the pages of medical journals and the like, he sees the theory in practice in real time, with every shattered stone replaced, every water-damaged support torn down and rebuilt. Human resilience, he marvels as he walks through streets still in the midst of reconstruction. With so many hands busy at work and others who’ve adapted a policy to return to a state as near normal as they can by reopening Fontaine’s familiar shops and venues, he finds himself half caught between and world that is familiar and one that is forming into something entirely new.

Much of the change that is slowly starting to take form can be attributed to the youth he spies down the street, seemingly too engrossed with whatever plans he has spread across a makeshift table to notice his presence. Until he speaks. Neuvillette masks his surprise with ease, but finds himself rearranging his impression of the young man already.

“It is one way to view matters.” Beauty in the face of tragedy. Focalors may have promised her people a new beginning and he himself had blessed the people of Fontaine with rebirth, but in the end, was it not through the united efforts of humanity to prove themselves? His judgement has been rendered, but the passage of time can only ever promise more trials in the future. What they work together for now is but proof of such. “There are those who view themselves separate from humans who have little faith in their ability. And perhaps the more cynical of your kind would view that it should be unnecessary that it should take tragedy for long standing hatreds and resentments to be put aside. I would daresay that it would only take a handful of months before such rivalries resume again. But… I admit, there is something that is inspiring in all this.”

He stands with both hands wrapped around his cane as he examines the youth, an expert in architecture come all the way from Sumeru. How providential it’d been to learn that this Kaveh was already within the borders of Fontaine when he’d sent the request to their neighbouring nation. But his mouth tugs into an almost imperceptible frown now that he has settled next to young man. “You are injured.” / @polychromae

“Huh? Poison…ous?”

Amber hues widened in surprise, glancing back and forth between the male and the brightly-colored fungus in her hand.

“Really? They smelled so nice, so I assumed they would be safe to consume.”

Out of all regions in Teyvat she had visited so far, Sumeru has by far the most peculiar fauna and flora. It is not rare to see animals or plants with strange or flashy colors, regardless of whether or not they are actually dangerous.

Thankfully, the architect managed to warn her just in time, or the little mushroom could have sealed her fate.

“Geez…I really owe you one right now. And Tighnari was well for providing you with the knowledge on poisonous shrooms.”
