#or that post about npc's...

[bace-jeleren]

None of my posts that take off really do justice that I'm a weird loser who's autistic for Magic the Gathering characters. "When will my reflection show..." etc. etc.

Yeah, sure, another one of my cute motivational posts got 10k but almost none of those people know I spent a solid year of my life dedicated to gaslighting my followerbase into believing Ruber from Quest for Camelot is unironically sexy (which he is, trust me, your local swamp goblin, would I ever lie to you?).

Not to focus overly on my Rookanis feels, but I love the dialogue cutscene where Lucanis and Davrin are drinking together, sharing stories, and invite Rook to sit with them, for so many reasons.

I mean, I love the dialogue cutscene in general and both the guys in it. The mood is great. The dialogue is just so damn funny. It's a friendly dick measuring contest between our favourite boys. After the initial antagonism and tension, they've become friends. There are bizarre lore drops. The stories are entertaining and frankly wtf? A big writhing ball of angry nugs? Created through blood magic? The stuff of nightmares! I wish I could see Lucanis deal with that. I wish I could see Davrin figure out the big heap of tentacles. I love the way the guys are just a little tipsy in a cute way. Lucanis talks a little too loud in comparison with what we're used to. Davrin is starting to have trouble articulating. The "Of course we're getting along. We're PROFESSIONALS," as Lucanis raises his cup a little towards Davrin always cracks me up. Also, Lucanis, are you drinking wine from a coffee cup? The way they both invite Rook to stay and participate. The prospect of slightly drunk cooking and snacking and sharing stories. All in all, it's a beautiful scene that makes me smile every time.

But let me also yap about Lucanis for a moment. (Of course you will let me. It's not like you can stop me. No one can stop me. Not even me.) I want to focus on how Lucanis interacts with Rook in this scene.

It's obvious he's let himself relax a little. He's a bit intoxicated. Clearly he's having fun. He smiles easily and flutters his eyelashes at Rook. When you choose the dialogue option that mentions ruining Solas' ritual, Lucanis insists that Rook tells the story. "[Neve and Harding] don't tell it the way you would," he says, encouraging Rook to talk about something, from what he says, he seems to have already heard, because he wants to hear them tell it.

Then he decides he'll cook something while they chat, but he emphasizes that he will only do so "if Rook's staying," nudging them further. It couldn't be more clear that he wants them there and that he enjoys their company.

I feel like I don't see enough people feral about it, because come on, he's so sweet in this scene. He obviously wants Rook around and their presence makes him happy.

And, yeah, I know this scene also happens with "just" friendly Rook. The thing is, I don't give a fuck. I don't think it diminishes the interaction in any way. The context matters. It's sweet with friendly Rook and even sweeter when they're more. Also, I played Lucanis' romance first, and I did not know that. What I saw in this scene during that first playthrough was the man absolutely delighted by Rook's company, repeatedly and enthusiastically asking them to stay and spend time with him, and it made my day. Still does.

When I keep babbling about how much I love Lucanis' romance, it's not just about all the hearts I get to click to see where they lead or the beautiful post-Tearstone love scene, it's also interactions like this where you see how much he wants Rook to be there, all the more or less subtle signs of affection (and yes, also friendship, because that goes hand in hand) that happen throughout the whole game.

Regional Alakazam form where GameFreak makes a huge deal out of it and does the usual mystery trailer shtick to drive the hype through the roof and then it's revealed and it's just a regular Alakazam with forks

posting a couple of lil scenes i wrote introducing yara as if she was an npc! she'd have two potential intro scenes, one at the temple during mass, one in the strip club dressing room. you could get both scenes in either order, but here's the mass->club version:

Meeting Yara at Mass

A girl in a nun's habit slides into your pew, smoothing out her skirt before sitting down beside you. Coarse black fringe frames her freckled face. You recognize her as Yara, one of your fellow orphans. She’s known to be something of a delinquent, but she seems to keep to herself.

She glances at you, recognition vaguely registering on her face. "Ah. Good morning." -> [If you're a member of the temple:] She stares at you for a long moment, unblinking. "The money's nice, isn't it?" -> [Otherwise:] She looks like she's sizing you up. "It feels peaceful here, right? But don't let it fool you." An awkward pause stretches between the two of you, the murmurs of the congregation echoing off vaulted ceilings. Yara shifts in her seat, then breaks the silence. “I guess it’s nice to see a familiar face.” | + + Yara’s Insecurity (1) Leave her alone (2) Chat | + Love (3) Flirt | Promiscuity 1 | + Lust? You chat with Yara for a few minutes. She holds your gaze with an unsettling intensity, but she still seems distracted, somehow. Her fingers fidget in her lap, prayer beads clicking in her hands. Mass is about to start. Yara turns her attention to the altar.

Meeting Yara at Darryl's

You notice Yara standing in front of one of the mirrors. She’s examining her shimmering lingerie, absently fiddling with the holy pendant around her neck. She looks lost in thought before noticing you, her holy pendant pressed to her lips. "Oh, it's you... Not surprised to see you here." She speaks in a deadpan tone, regarding you coolly. -> [If you're a member of the temple:] "Seems like we're in the same boat." | - - Yara’s Insecurity -> [If you're NOT a member of the temple:] "You'd better not snitch on me." | - Yara’s Insecurity (1) Leave her alone (2) Chat | + Love (3) Flirt | Promiscuity 1 | + Lust? You chat with Yara for a few minutes. She doesn’t say much, but seems to be listening. Her eyes occasionally meet yours in the mirror as she puts the finishing touches on her hair and makeup. “Well,” Yara finishes preening, then turns away from you. “I’ll be around.” She leaves for the stage.

To the Genshin fans who are obsessed with obscure/quest-exclusive/dead npcs:

You are very cool. You are the backbone of this fandom. Thank you for all that you do.

Something insanity inducing about jester and veth trying to comfort caleb after the vergessen heist by telling him that the people he killed were bad people, they were evil, they obviously deserved it, we're the good guys, he had to do it, he had to do it for the greater good, the chosen few made the hard choice and do what few have the will to do—

In the vast multiverse of possibilities, the kindest thing Arthur Aguefort has perhaps ever said was to Ruby Rocks about how her world didn’t deserve how much she embodies her family motto: “in sweetness there is strength”

Did it have to happen in the same episode where Ylfa squeezed a man’s ass so hard she caused the Great MolASSes Flood 2: Electric Boogaloo™️? Probably

[reliably-derogaffectionate]
