"A farmer comes home one day to find that everything that gives meaning to his life is gone... Everything that he loved, taken from him. One can only imagine the pit of despair, the hours of Job-like lamentations, the burden of existence. He makes a promise to himself in those dark hours. A life’s work erupts from his knotted mind. Years go by. His suffering becomes complicated. One day he stops. The farmer, who is no longer a farmer, sees the wreckage he’s left in his wake. It is now he who burns. It is he who slaughters. And he knows, in his heart, he must pay.
"Maybe you’re right. Maybe he could change. Maybe he’s not damaged beyond repair. Maybe he could make amends to all those that he’s hurt so terribly. Or maybe not."
THE BLACKLIST 1.04 "The Stewmaker (No. 161)"
Last night, I had one of the strangest dreams, about Baldur's Gate 3, and it wasn't even about Astarion (a shame, trully) !
I dreamt about Raphael, that magnificient yet insufferable bastard.
I was lying in his bed (it's not what you think ^^;) and he was there, calmly reading a book in his cambion form (don't ask me how he fit in the bed, but in the dream, it worked) and I kept sticking my freezing feet on him to warm up, annoying him to no end.
I even remember making a lame joke about his infernal heat, but it didn't make him laugh at all XD
Apparently, annoying him in the game is not enough haha I love him ^^
MIITOPIA SCS 🥺🥺🥺🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 i love love love playing with my fav enstars charas again!!! so happy i picked this game up again after way too long!!!
some chara dynamics ive been thinking about under the cut!! note that canon is only loosely considered bc these charas are basically my ocs 😭🩷
kaname (kanamie :3) here is based off my old ogmeru hcs back in the day and i love thinking abt him as the 'glue' to the group in a way?? hes got a very big presence, loud and proud, tho deeply insecure... hes got the airheaded trait so hes always in the clouds in his own world, can be stubborn and hard to work with. but he is very cute so its fine. he is best friends with mayoi and has a crush on tatsumi... also hes a popstar!
tatsumi here in my game is so funny bc he keeps acting in character, aka, chaotic as fuck!! he loves the foods everyone hates, says he swallows giant MP candies in one go, definitely has the ability to kill whenever he wants but simply chooses not to which is somehow scarier . Even tho i gave him the kind trait, hes got threatening :) vibes, yknow. he has loves both mayoi and kaname #polyamory. cleric!
rinne has the laid back trait, and he hates literally every single food for some reason?? 🥲 im sorry man. i dont have him set up for anyone rn, but i might do something with niki or develop his relationship w hiiro later on as the story progresses. i have niki and hiiro as npcs but im planning to use them for when my main team eventually gets kidnapped lol. hes a thief
finally, mayoi!! my main chara and hero, he loves and cares for his team so much. esp kaname! he feels very strongly abt him and wants him to be happy and safe. sometimes falls into ocd thought spirals because he convinces himself his genuine love and affection for him is smth perverse and wrong. but he understands how his brain is and knows hes just being 🫠. anyway hes a mage !!!! and lowkey has a giant crush on rinne too
i definitely want to turn mayoi into a cat or an imp when the option comes up. so maybe my story will change entirely when that happens bc the thought of imp mayoi wanting to protect this cutesy popstar kaname is super adorable to me. plus imp mayoi and cleric tatsumi!! YES!!!!!!!!!! i love it so much
now some more misc rambles ... mayoi and kaname randomly got mad at each other and now the thought of kaname getting >:| easily and throwing out canon kaname style 'insults' is so ... i love u. i can never be mad at you. tho mayoi would probably be so sad and then kaname would be sad too (shoots myself)
yellowjackets deliberately spits on the hyperobsessive "NO SPOILERS BECAUSE THE ONLY VALUE IN OUR MEDIA IS THE TWIST" culture that plagues us. We know exactly how long the girls are lost in the forest, we know Jackie (and probably Mari) end up dying, and we know a handful of the survivors. The show tells us that from the very beginning. And yet it's still an amazing show full of surprises and intrigue, because there's so much more to the story than who lives and who dies.
I love the way that Jimin is treating this just like a regular comeback, giving us a comeback map and image teasers. That makes me so happy. HE KNOWS WHAT WE WANT!!
The fansign call is such a typical Kpop promotional event. Not the call itself but the idea of the one-on-one interaction they used to do during fansign events. I think he is trying to make up for all those things that got taken away since 2019. They used to be able to do fansigns in person but that ended a long time ago, so I think it’s very personal to him and sentimental of him to do that sort of thing again. Also, it will be another thing that falls in line with the album theme as it will be FACE to FACE with Jimin.
There will be 70 winners (nod to the 7). Good luck to all of those who entered the raffle for that. I hope we get to hear about the winner's experiences meeting Jimin in person!
I am thrilled that we will get two music videos and I’m hoping maybe as soon as this weekend we will get another TikTok of maybe Lie...Serendipity... Filter... oh my God, what if???
I can't say much about Promise becoming an official release because I might start crying. Seems extreme but it makes my heart swell with so much pride for him. I know that song means so much to Jimin. Even Hobi knew how much that song meant to him and gave him a real CD of it in a case with a photo book.
I can't wait to see everyone unraveling all the symbolism, mysterious hidden themes and number puzzles he will have embedded in every part of his FACE. I also can't wait to hear him talk about it all with us. PLEASE UNIVERSE GIVE US JIMIN ON SUCHWITA!!
When I say hidden themes... supposedly on March 24, the moon phase will be waxing crescent...
This is gonna be a wild ride and we've been waiting so long for you, Jimin.
Oden's prophecy of young pirates coming to save wano becoming yamato's hope for his freedom.... and him becoming oden because of it.... it's just so good... on the other side luffy taking ace's spot for liberating yamato... I think I hauve covid
so more LN III thoughts (not as many at least, read more is just for users who are avoiding altogether)
I keep thinking abt how the single player you'll be playing with an AI like LN II, and I think the game would offer a lot of replay ability if you can choose which kid you play as as they both do different things (the wrench kid has the wrench for puzzles and breaking things, and the masked kid has the slingshot). in multiplayer it makes enough sense you can pick which one to play as, but if you can choose in single I think it'd make the game have a lot more play value and that's super cool.
the fact it has online co-op can mean so much for cool additional things, and i do hope character customisation is still there (LN with Six's masks/hats and LN II with Monos also) even if you have to unlock it which would also still offer replay ability.
