He's so... big and beefy!

Seriously look at that proud little smirk here's wearing there. The same he'd wear when he sees his pretty baby waiting for him on the bed 🤭

i love the idea of aki being really strong without seeming like it especially because of his uniform. manhandling or carrying someone with ease and not breaking a sweat. you never really pay too much attention to it until he rolls up his sleeves and you see his forearms or hands. im drooling.

he definitely doesn't look like it. even when he's out of uniform, he's on the leaner side, he isn't crazy muscular. but aki is a lot stronger than he appears, much more than anyone gives him credit for.

dont forget that he regularly beats up guys from division 2 in boxing matches without even trying... he's really quite tough....

Realizing that Neuv is wearing a poet blouse and not a collared shirt with a jabot is doing something to me. Physically.

CRYING SCREAMING THROWING UP

[campingwiththecharmings]

[winepresswrath]

ofmd season 2 is already a victory for me because ed's subconscious still brings up jack. my commitment to a one off joke character is paying dividends.

Baizhu’s Room

(note: this was written without any leaked spoilers or lore in mind)

Genshin 3.6 finally gave us access to the back room in Bubu Pharmacy, in anticipation of Baizhu’s upcoming release and story quest. And I have to give all the praise to the designers and developers here, because this small room has some of the best environmental storytelling I’ve seen in a game in a while, with only a few simple details. Today is Baizhu’s birthday, so I wanted to talk about it a little 💚🐍🌿

Nothing in this room is neatly in its place. The chairs aren’t in position, everything on the desk is messy and strewn about, and some of the drawers are left open. There’s a pillow on the desk, as well. Baizhu is quite frail and sickly, so this all paints a picture of him constantly looking for things and working, both as a doctor and frantically on his research into immortality, without having the energy or care to keep everything neat, and probably often falling asleep at his desk out of exhaustion (hence the pillow, though admittedly it could be for Changsheng, but I kind of doubt it).

There’s medicine on the bedside tables, which is probably just as much for Baizhu as it (and all the other medicine in the room) is for his patients. The bedside chair indicates he likely sits with patients there a lot so as to be as comforting as possible, but again, it’s also likely for people like Gui and Qiqi, when Baizhu is the one in bed. The sole small washtub thing stuck in the corner behind the screen... just makes me sad. I don’t know why in particular... it just does.

All of this, combined with the lighting, and the new, unique song, creates a room that manages to feel both warm and welcoming during the day, but solemn, lonely, almost suffocating, and unbearably sad at night, completely befitting the person who practically lives here, and the two very different sides he has. I say “practically”, but we have no indication so far that Baizhu actually does live anywhere else -- with his low energy and poor health, and all those damn steps leading up to the pharmacy, I’m fully convinced now that he does live here full-time, after seeing the state of it, which is... heartbreaking. He puts on a smile for everyone around him who are relying on him to care for them (and he loves his job, he truly does!), but his tiny, cramped patient room seemingly doubles as his living space, and even though Baizhu may lie and try to hide his own suffering... this room itself does not lie, and said suffering is bleeding from every corner here. The music is elegant, gentle, comforting, and soothing, but also delicate, weak, mournful, and again unimaginably lonely...... just like Baizhu. 💔

If you haven’t been here yet in the game, I highly recommend you visit it at least once; the atmosphere is simply unmatched. I can’t wait to see what happens here in Baizhu’s story quest, and how it will wreck our hearts even more 💚💔

Processing some things

Also the fact that he's crouching with his hands on his knees is so cute to me for some reason?? He does this in another episode too - the one where Chakotay finds a symbol on an unknown planet...it's just so adorable to me. He could just lean down but no. Also of course his fingers are spread again - GOTTA utilize the whole hand whenever you do ANYTHING (if you're Tuvok)

[noxtivagus]

i screamed.

[mymarifae]

i hope everyone's prepared for me to become the most annoying person ever in 13 more hours

[volinare]

Plagues Upon My Beloved

desist, spirits!

begone and remain in your ill hovel

return no more

to plague

my love

with your malicious, hateful visions

intended for harm

of the most cruel kind

relinquish your hold

give up to me

bone of my bone

flesh of my flesh

soul that i would know even in death

release him to me

at once

else prepare yourselves

my wrath will not be soothed

my rage will steep to a high flame

a blazing firestorm

it will come upon you

in the daylight

you will see it afar off

—it matters not.

you will not be ready.

i will have him.

your clutching fingers will reveal him to me

i will make it so

and you cannot stand against me

This could honestly work for either Mike or Will from either perspective. Both are traumatized and both are extremely protective of the people they love/are in love with. It gives paladin and cleric vibes too thanks to the language and the talk of spirits and souls.
