I love this shot so much! The dark center is a copse of trees in an otherwise empty field, against a backdrop of distant mountains... taken while we were driving through dense fog. It was like driving into a pastel Mark Rothko painting 🤎

im thinking here 🤣

one thing that really gets me about fate cu is that yeah he had me fooled for a long time- by how he seems so bold and open, but he also has many emotional walls as well. he's got a heroic and kindhearted side; as well as being a cocky ass man with loads of epic skills. he serves people devotedly, but also has a very hot headed and almost dominating pride around them, at times, too. but then if duty calls for it, he can give the impression of indifference too, even if everything is going to shit inside- so even despite being very emotional, he can be super pragmatic as well...

he also seems to seriously play the role of anything he's expected to be as well, like he really seems to take being a "hero" and "servant" very literally, even if he may hate some parts of the role-or some expectations of him- at times.

it feels like it's not hard to befriend him or end up intimately entangled with him, but i feel like only very few people actually get close to him. yes he is very friendly, dependable, romantic and open to enjoy a wide variety of people... but i do feel like something about him feels extraordinarily distant. cu to me feels pretty walled off, despite him being so open on the outside. i guess it makes sense in context though?

but to have him open up? something tells me he may be a way slower burner to be very close to and vulnerable with. i know this sounds wild because he expresses his emotions so openly, and is super open to physical intimacy- but idk he seems like he keeps his heart very tightly guarded, probaby for good reason too.

all the "dam bitch you live like this" memes about him make sense now... i didn't realise he is probably a bit of a wreck inside from all the shit he been through and mistakes, regrets, and hardships as well as bs in his life.

Hey, I just remembered something!

I think you said ???'s romance is not possible on the Day path? I'm not interested in them (well, that way, I mean) anyway, so it won't be an issue to me romance wise, but is it actually possible to have a good or at least decent relationship with them on the Day path, or not even that? And well, that applies to any RO if the MC is on a path incompatible with their romance I guess (though I don't remember if others were in that case).

Of course, feel free to ignore this one if it's too spoilery to answer though!

On a (I think) less spoilery note about the paths and ROs, will the paths impact how the possible romances pan out? Or not so much? Or will it depend on the character?

Anyway, thank you for entertaining my multiple questions on that matter. It seems it's endlessly fascinating to me!

Yep! So basically you can "romance" ??? on Day path but it's more a doomed romance/tragedy then an actual romance. The only other character this happens with is Rhea on Night path. I think I mentioned before but this is more a 'theme-driven' story then anything else and the characters represent the exact opposite themes of those paths, essentially. (Also again, I'm not promising anything in regards to poly routes, but on the off-chance I do, they'll be path specific for this very reason. Beck x MC x Rook would be locked to Dawn and Day for example). ALSO quick edit forgot to mention, but even outside of romance, it will still play out like a tragedy if you have a high friendship stat with them.

As for the paths, they will play like completely separate routes/story lines that splinter off after a certain point. Basically, you'll hit a key plot point and whatever your path is set on at that point locks you into that arc. Because the plot/events will be unique to each path (save for a few key ones), the romances for each path will play out differently as well! Romancing say ??? in the Dawn Arc vs the Night Arc is a completely different experience for example, it also lets me (and the player) explore different faucets of their personality.

Most of the details I'm still figuring out and I know a lot of what I have written down may change, but everything stated above is officially set!

Nice mature darker tones for this sakura themed outfit, with a kimono with cherry blossoms and what could be flowing willow branches (or bamboo?) over hazy mountains in the background.
