"Heh … if only you knew how clearly one sees someone's true nature when being blind. It's rare to find someone that shows me that beauty can be found in the most unexpected ways … if your physical self matches that of your person … Then it saddens me I won't ever see it…"

ElevenLabs is truly a gem when you want new dialogues for gaming tributes (and after being friends with Sebastian for so long, I imagine he's quite the flirt too).

I got the idea for this quote after I replied to that YouTuber.

UPDATE; Second version, and the one I prefer

I'm sure Astarion has regularly used pet names as a way to distance himself from his marks. It makes everything simultaneously a little less personal for him and a little more alluring for the mark- it's not like the average person throws around "darling" so everyone assumes it means they're something, someone, special.

So, then, imagine how much it might take for him to actually say his partner's name in the context of a newly-real relationship. How meaningful it would be for him to occasionally drop the pet names, that for other people only come about as a sign of intimate affection, and say the true name of his love. The vulnerability of acknowledging, by speaking aloud their name, that he has a whole person he cares for and not just another body on his arm or in his bed.

i said i thought of a zee card for @capn-twitchery's twitch and i will deliver!

A card drawn with Very Infrequent frequency (half as common as Standard), anywhere at zee, but only with troubled waters 3 or less and at least one level of Acquaintance: the Epicurean Captain. (also it's discardable)

Accompanied by the Epicurean Captain is a boon! It disappears when you dock at a port which clears Troubled Waters, and adds a little text about Twitch disembarking with a cheery "ciao!" and disappearing into the crowds.

Connecting dots tonight (didn't connect shit, I've connected them, etc) because of this post about item descriptions to do with Sampo I saw a few days ago and! I feel like there are so many interesting things that could be implied from this!! Because the recipe for the High-Tech Protective Gear is given to you by Bronya (before the IPC invaded Belobog!), who says this little interesting tidbit about it:

This is an item from before the Eternal Freeze, 700 years ago. Even to the rest of the universe, it would be SORELY outdated. It cannot be made in Belobog anymore due to the loss of entire eras. It is effectively useless; this recipe had to be somewhere gathering dust, kept around solely for archival purposes. There is no reason for Sampo to know about this item or have any idea how it works and yet. AND YET. He's just running around selling knock offs!!

He shouldn't even know how to make these, but the fact that he does means Sampo either

had the blueprints from off-world before he came to Belobog (most likely but also most boring answer)

broke into Qlipoth Fort and copied down the blueprints (completely plausible - he's possibly shown doing exactly that in his splash art)

found another copy out in the ruins of the old world (also completely plausible - Sampo is astoundingly resilient against both the Fragmentum and the cold, as noted by Lynx haha)

Meanwhile, the Inferior Protective Gear recipe comes from an NPC in the underground, and when she gives it to you, she talks about building robots and the robot fighting scene sorry about the quality I didn't have screenshots for her dialogue so I had to use wiki

Which makes me feel like it's safe to say that the inferior gear is mostly being used in the underground, especially by the vagrants and their robots for fights, because...well, who else would use it? Cocolia has made it illegal to explore too far into the Snow Plains, and besides, it's way too dangerous for most civilians even WITH gear. The Silvermane Guards are funded by official sources, they have no reason to rely on Sampo for armor. So it makes sense for an underground mechanic to know the recipe; there's probably not as much market for it up in the overworld.

And if you look at the descriptions, you can see why this probably wasn't something that could be made in Belobog anymore; it requires a charging system of some sort.

We know it's not a problem with the basic materials because all three ingredients can be found right in the administrative district. But the underground only has two of them; somehow, despite being in the planet's crust, and literally crawling with robots...there is no metal down there. It isn't found anywhere, sold by anyone, or dropped by anything. And metal just so happens to be the one ingredient Sampo replaces in his knock off version.

The Inferior Gear uses trash instead, something which, going by the words of that same mechanic, is MORE than abundant in the underground- any good quality parts are extremely difficult to come by down there.

Anyway, all his shadiness aside, I love the implication that Sampo is smart enough to be able to take this item that no one else on the planet probably knows anything about, and was able to figure out what he could replace, and how, and with what, in order to make it easily accessible to the people of the underground, even without access to overworld resources. Because his version DOES work! It literally gives you the exact same amount of defense boost as the IPC one!

Someone should absolutely still knock him around for it, though, world's most slappable face fr fjkdsjfdkjafk

A Tough Sell

Nolanel: ... And since Archon Loaf has such a long shelf life, inventory storage and shipping become non-issues.

Nolanel: The best part is that my model is entirely scalable for future growth in all of Eorzea's city states!

...

Yein: Thank the Divine Scales you're so pretty.

Derrinall: Because you can be so incredibly stupid sometimes.
