can’t believe i explained geats poorly to my sibling and they went, ‘wait, so is buffa alive cuz he uses the zombie belt’ and I went, ‘ha, no’ and the freakin christmas episode went, “WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN”

remembering when i made this post as a joke only to see it come up unironically in the jamie tag of all places 9 months later...apollo and his dodgeball playing the long game fr

[desultory-novice]

Dess the prophet holy moly

Fr got hit with the Apollo prophecy dodgeball

Wait AM I a prophet...???

Dodgeball is when you try NOT to get hit, right? Because I think that's what happened here! XD

I threw a lot of wild mass guesses out there, but I can't remember if I actually got anything right. I got the last boss crazy wrong! But I'm not even disappointed?! (The remake is so good omg!)

Anyway, there'll be some asks going up today and tomorrow (both for the game and a few unrelated - but still kind of related - ones)

Note that I have AVOIDED reading anyone else's discussions about the game to keep my thoughts on this experience as much my own as possible. So if some of the stuff you see is stuff people have already figured out/jossed/etc, or I ignore something that everyone else is going crazy over (probably because I totally missed seeing it (1) in which case, poke me and I'll check it out) that's why!

(1) [True Arena Last Fight Spoilers]

Like how I nearly missed the fact that Magolor is almost constantly, tearfully, weakly crying out "Kir...by..." in his own voice the whole time you're fighting him in his last phase.

Rather, I kind of heard it, but it was so late at night and my brain was going crazy trying not to die that I wrote it off as a hallucination! Had to see everyone in the JP fandom going crazy over it on my timeline before I went back to double check on Youtube...!

...

:breaks down into tears over Magolor again:

...You know, I feel as if I DID mention something off-handed about "lol wouldn't it be funny if HAL added in Magolor crying during the Soul fight" and THEY DID so maybe I'm a prophet after all??

I’ve been haunted by this comment I made in the wake of Lioden’s attempted hacking on March 17. With FR’s emergency maintenance last night, Apollo’s dodgeball hit me square in the face.

Context: I was thinking of the period of downtime that FR underwent in late December 2021 partly because of attempted hacking. That was, at least, a security incident that I was around for.

☀️, for the ask game

☀️ Has anyone ever left you a comment that made your day? What did it say?

I had a few, but recently only yours come to mind! You went into so many details, and paid so much attention, it got me writing proudly like Nene with her diary.

I worked on the chapter as if I was speedrunning the day I got it, even finished that week! And i still re-read it when I need motivation. I'm determined to make the next chapter long!

And here is what the comment said:

[so, uh, i may or may not have forgotten to comment on this for half a month… well, to compensate for my lateness i’ve decided to write my thoughts on this chapter in excruciating detail because i’m actually very normal (i swear)

1. THEY SHAKED HANDS… OH MY GOD… look it may not seem like much but when you think about it hand shaking is pretty much just hand holding with extra steps, so basically they just held hands (good for them!!!)

2. aka’s relationship with mirai is. so much to me. AND DRAWING PARALLELS TO TERU AND TIARA’S RELATIONSHIP… LITERALLY RATTLING MY CAGE BARS SO HARD AT THIS!!! also them agreeing that teru’s a piece of crap is so iconic fr

3. aka offering for teru to braid his hair is so damn telling of how theyre slowly but surely getting closer and starting to trust each other a bit and i just. AAAHHDJFJFJFJFJFJFFJAJSKDKKD. THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE /POS

4. omg i remember when i was looking at one of the wips and i was like ‘wait op isn’t gonna pull a chapter 26 right…’ and i am SO GLAD that i dodged apollo’s dodgeball there because i’d probably cry if that happened

5. ‘wiggling around like a pathetic worm’ is such a Sentence™ and now it’ll be forever ingrained in my mind, i bet ten dollars i’m gonna end up quoting that like five times in a row while knowing damn well that nobody’s gonna fully understand me

6. aka’s reaction to teru being taller than him is so comically paradigmatic of their relationship like damn, i’m gonna go sit in a corner and think about that for a while gimme a few okay (and by ‘a few’ i mean the next few YEARS)

7. the part where teru ruffles aka’s hair and notices how cold it is OH MY GOD AJSKJDKDKFKF???? i think i’ll have to change that from a few years to a few decades… may or may not have led me down a rabbit hole of thoughts on aka’s lack of humanity ngl 😳😳😳 i’m like 2 seconds away from writing a small essay about it someone needs to either stop me or encourage me right now

8. ‘it was as if growing up made teru lose his survival instincts’… HEY, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN 😀 is it because he eventually falls in love with aka… i know what you are, teru 🤨📸 BUT ALSO WHAT IF IT’S SOMETHING ELSE okay i don’t know what else it could be atm but whatever it is i have a feeling it would not be good

9. tbh… i’m becoming a rita stan (i said, not even having the faintest idea of what she looks like because i can’t imagine people for the life of me) wait actually. you should draw her /nf… if you don’t do it first then i’ll just have to draw her myself ig

10. TERU CALLING AKA BY HIS NAME. TERU GETTING GENUINELY WORRIED FOR AKA. i am going to lock myself in my dryer and never come out omg i’m going to cry this is so important to me i’m never gonna dance again because of this

11. the way he’s starting to care about aka… i’m literally going to cry… god the way you write character dynamics and development is literally going to make me rip my eyes out IT’S SO GOOD AJKDDJKDKDFK. and the way he was denying it so hard too 😭😭 it’s like, he’s trying so much to convince himself that he doesn’t care about aka and i just,,, IT’S SO. YK

12. this is like. stage one: Denial™, yk. like he says and does all these things to try and distract from how he actually feels, HE OVERCOMPENSATES SO MUCH LMAO, idk how to articulate it but this is going to be the death of me, i was just waiting for him to realize just how much he cares deep down yk… actually this entire fic is just killing me to death tbh

13. AND THEN WHEN HE FINALLY ADMITS IT TO HIMSELF OH MY GOD. I’M GOING TO SLAM HIM INTO A MICROWAVE THIS LITERALLY MEANS EVERYTHING I’M USING EVERY FIBRE OF MY BEING TO NOT SCREAM AND SHOUT RN

14. and then of course he tries to pin the blame on aka, like he’s just doing everything in his power to deny his feelings lmaoo, that’s literally so in character for him… like who’s gonna tell him about friendship /j, btw this fic is stabbing me cesear-style rn

15. AND THEN THE ENDING OH MY GOD… NOW THAT’S HOW YOU END A CHAPTER FR!! i am currently going to explode with anticipation for the next chapter, i’m actually never going to shut up about this fic tbh

i don’t really know a good way to finish this small essay of a comment off, so i’ll just quote something i texted to a friend while in the middle of writing this: ‘i fink that fic may have ruined me tbh but it’s too radballs for me to go back now’. i think that adequately summarizes my thoughts on this tbh

so uh yeah!!! thanks for reading exactly 895 words of me incoherently rambling about this fic, next time i’m going to make a google slides presentation /j but seriously i love this fic so much and i can’t wait to see where it goes next!]
