to go gentle into that good night

[kaeyachi]

Kaeyappreciation post!

Kaeya is wonderful in a sense that he:

Has a penmanship described as "Beautiful Handwriting". He for sure worked on that.

Willingly spends his time making sure his outfit looks perfect

Is well-loved by Mondstadt and the Dawn Winery staff

Is described to like a prince, both in looks and in actions

Is shown to be gentle and caring to children and elderly, most seen with Klee and the staff from Dawn Winery

Is a great listener and, therefore, also knows what gifts to buy based off of something someone said in passing

Is predominantly kind- unafraid to help out and defend someone in need. His first reaction is always kindness, and worry about covering up that kindness later on

But Kaeya also has his moments where he:

Says things out of pocket with enough alcohol in his system. Things that usually lead to shame and regret.

Would rather give others the credit for his hard work if he could help it

Intentionally makes himself look suspicious by withholding information and only throwing tidbits that are not of substance

Has sadist tendencies, which affects how he treats both his (cavalry) company and his enemies

Can and will use underhanded tactics to gain the upper hand

Rarely ever says what he truly wants to say

Has a fake smile. Usually lies or only deals with half truths.

He is such a complex character. I really do want people to appreciate him and his intricacies more. The fact that his entire personality and story is done so well and continues to actually grow and expand as the story progresses is something that genuinely makes me want to keep watch of him. I have never, in all my fandoms, stuck to a character as long as I did with Kaeya, and honestly? I know I'm not alone with this.

Look at how well they made our boy!

Hi you might see me be really focused on Faith: the Unholy Trinity for a while. Been playing through it nonstop for the last few days, getting all the endings and collectibles and achievements. Currently I have all but one (the Good Christian Boy achievement… practicing to get it).

I defo want to draw more with it, but for now have some first-attempt John Ward doodles <33

IM ALIVE!

HERE'S SOME FREAKS CONTENT FOR THOSE (@yourfavvvintj @somemismatchedsocks @zerukye) WHO ARE DEPRIVED OF FREAKS CONTENT LOL

I GIVE TO YOU

A SCRATCH GAME

[dreamingofthewild]

If the next game Larian makes is as good (or better) than DOS2 and BG3, they can have my soul.

[pathetic-gamer]

I do love that canonically Alan Wake is an asshole with a famously bad temper who parties too hard and gets arrested for assaulting paparazzi but who everyone thinks is very cool and hot because it means the jazzy dance solo on Mr Door's show is 100% true to character, but also because it means when Tom Zane shows him the clips of them partying it up together, the discerning fan may say "Well, Tom, you must be trying to deceive me! that is clearly Mr Scratch doing his silly little freak dance like in Alan Wake's American Nightmare," but I, an even more discerning fan, am here to tell you that Alan is a smart guy ok he wasn't deceived bc of the absurdity, he was deceived bc of the fact that yeah he would absolutely 1000% do that lmao

You think the sad confused terrified fella wandering around in the rain is the real alan wake? that guy ain't shit, he can't remember anything. he's a pale imitation. the TRUE alan wake, as he was before coming into contact with the dark presence, is on the surreal dreamscape talk show circuit talking shit about the movie adaptation of his old books right in front of the star of those movies.

oh appalachia doesn’t have any iconic celebrities? what about katniss everdeen? dolly parton? the attorney that orchestrated the largest social security fraud scheme in the history of the united states, fled the country, and then got caught in a pizza hut in honduras?

[kenmaiii]

still cant believe OM is ending it's services, at least on the gaming front

[mcybree]

Is anyone else around here in a (or have been in a) fan-hosted life series. do you guys wanna go in a circle and share how it went. do you guys wanna compare notes

[loraluna]

Wanted to do one of these for the longest time. Figured it would be a good idea to get on it before the next SoS and RF games come out XD

Original meme here. My thoughts and reasonings for my choices below.

MFoMT/B&G: Rick, the adorkable guy next door. Literally. Sincere, hardworking and fiercely protective of the ladies in his life. Just don't ask to date his sister.

MM: The characters in this game aren't too terribly complex. So when in doubt, go for the cake-loving cutie with a start up business and puppy dog eyes. His name is Carl~

AWL/Cute: I'm not usually one to go for the obvious popular choice, but in my opinion Skye really is the most interesting guy from this game. He's a dashing thief archetype with a random supernatural ability and way too much free time on his hands. Under the 'cool guy' facade though, he's a bit of a dork.

IoH/SI: To be completely honest, I never married Pierre, but during my short, frustrating playthrough of Sunshine Islands, he a was an adorable distraction. a cutie foodie with the confidence to rock a big purple hat~

ToT/AP: My sweet insomniac Wizard~ What is it about this guy that I love so much? The cool motif, the quiet wistful expressions, the amusing bluntness? IDK but I still adore this sleepy stargazer <3

GB: Angelo, the adorable, impish little artist seeking his muse. Never make a bet with him. You will regret it.

ToTT: Mikhail is a charming traveling musician who appreciates music and nature. A bit difficult to court, but a lovely partner overall.

ANB: Soseki is another one of those bachelors they refer to as an "older" man but in reality he's probably like 28 or something. He's funny and certain you can do better than him. He's right.

SoS: I hadn't planned on pursuing Fritz, but was pleasantly surprised by his heart events. He's a lovable goofball who wears every emotion on his tattered sleeves and is always willing to lend a hand.

3oT: Ludus is a capable hardworking guy who handles a lot of odd jobs in his town. He does take on too much sometimes but only because he cares so much. Additionally his hair and grandma are very cool~

SoS:FoMT: Gray sort of ties with Rick from the first round. He's socially awkward but sweet and has some hilarious expressions in the older games. I saved him for this slot since I'm not a fan of Rick's redesign in this game :P

PoOT: Ralph is certainly...there. He's a quiet animal lover, doesn't really stand out much...to be honest none of the candidates in this game wowed me, but he's a dependable guy.

SoS:AWL: Gustafa, and yes, I would and did still marry him with his old design. The guy is just so chill and worldly but he will drop everything to become your loyal househusband~

RF:ToD Bismark, my short king. I didn't expect to fall for him, but honestly he seems the kindest and most devoted out of the four bachelors you're given in this game. It's also sweet seeing his confidence grow over time.

RF4: Vishnal, he's....He's just peak husband material okay? All the characters in this game are fantastic, but he is just THE ONE. He's sweet, he's funny, he's selfless, he's hardworking, he cleans, he dual wields, the only thing the man can't do is cook.

RF5: Lucas is just...divine XD (pun intended) He's a classic gentleman with a bit of a mischievous side to him. He also has an odd way of making the most beautiful or unhinged things sound completely natural in everyday speech.

Freespace 1: A special place in my heart goes to Owen, my first ever HM hubby, from Tree of Tranquility, my first Harvest Moon game~

Freespace 2: Lastly all the boys who just barely missed the cut, Yuzuki, the absolutely precious artisan of 3oT, Kana the hunky horse boy I never got around to marrying in ToTT, Gill, the snooty rich boy who actually cares deep down I promise (ToT/AP). And Dylas, the hunky horse boy I did get around to marrying from RF4 XD

Aaaaand I honestly could have crammed in more but five freebies already felt pretty cheaty. I just adore this franchise and the character that came from it X3

trick or treat! Happy Halloween!

for the writing ask game

Belated Happy Halloween!

For this I'm going with a new fic idea.

It's a Big Damn Epic idea I do not have the spoons to do but, maybe someday.

My idea is inspired by something I read from the Marvel Comics wiki about Lady Death and the Death of Death arc or something similar where Death is in danger.

I don't know how to go about it but the encompassing idea is that someone, or an intergalactic group/cult wants to end Death ala the group from 12 Monkeys. The Monkeys wants to end time so no one will die.

It's the same idea, they think the source of all their grief is Death, and learn the Concept of Death is a literal walking and talking entity. They are a group that's existed for centuries across the stars.

Leaping off from Gorr's god-killing spree, the group gods can die, they go for the Gods of Death. They have killed some Death Gods but death and dying still exist.

Until they hit on the existence of the Cosmic Beings and the second oldest entity in the universe: Lady Death.

Somehow word gets around that the Lady Death loved a Human, and the intergalactic cult descended on Earth searching for the Human Death Loved.

A Diviniation Witch gets hold of this news, it is not a future but a near future warning, passed from one seer to another, a resistance against the Life Cult--and this reaches Ghost Agatha.

Agatha hears the news and just cackles. "What're they going to do, I'm dead. Also, please, nothing will kill Rio, she's Death."

Agatha is acting blasé about this and Billy is puzzled why she's being cavalier. She gets roped in to help save Death.

"I'm telling you guys, she doesn't need help!"

Billy refuses to hear this and tries to find a way to 'save Death'.

Agatha: "That's not even a cool band name!"

Agatha gets emotionally invested in the middle of it, and she can't really let Billy die. Because if Billy's spirit jumps bodies again, Rio will really appear and find a way to kill a ghost.

So, even though she thinks it's still a bad idea to get involve, Agatha helps.

"Also the group is also looking for me! They want me for LEV-ER-AGE!"

Billy: "What can they do to you? You're a ghost!"

TLDR, Agatha is right. They trap Agatha in a device that can entrap souls. Agatha is terrified for herself because the Cult leader claims that the device can destroy souls.

The group urges Agatha to call out to Death (they have an infinity stone ready to entrap Death). Agatha refuses. She's terrified and wise, and telling all kinds of jokes.

Billy and Kamala try to reach Agatha (yes, Billy recruited the Young Avengers for this. Kate: "I'm in my twenties! I'm not a teenager! Why am I a part of this group??").

When things are looking hopeless, suddenly a figure in black appears with a skull face and dark hair.

The device explodes, and Agatha is freed.

"Is that Death?" Kamala asked, awed.

Kate still has her arrow nocked. "Hey, I thought you said, Death was a lady?"

Billy: "She is."

Kate gestured towards the figure standing over Agatha. "Are you sure? 'Cause Death looks more like a dude."

"What?" Billy turns his head. Agatha was looking up at the figure before her, looking stunned.

"Hi," the boy, who looked almost like Kate's age said. It's not that his face was a skull, there was still some flesh but it looked like his skull was superimposed over his face. "Mama."

"Nicky?!"

There's a moment of shock and a huge wave of emotion hits Agatha and she lunges forward. There was so much emotion in Agatha that she looked like she gained physical form.

"I missed you."

"Thank you for making an appearance, Death's Child."

And then, it's apparently all an elaborate trap for Nicky, to get to Lady Death.

Rio would do almost anything for Agatha, but Lady Death would break worlds for her son.

And before her eyes, Nicky is siphoned into a reforged infinity stone.

Agatha is fury but as a ghost, there is not a lot she can do. Rio finally appears, fury incarnate and demands they free Nicky but the group vanishes.

Leaving behind a voice message.

"We will make demands now, Lady Death. If you want to keep your son safe."

It turns out that in the act of trying to save Death, they triggered the very thing that could be Death's downfall.

(And many more things happen, that will end up with Rio and Agatha teaming up).

TBC!
