#the game still kicks ass tho

[manusilvestre]

Started playing Stardew Valley recently and I remember one of the villagers mentioning how my crops from spring will die in the summer so I should be careful, so I look at the calendar and since it says it's the 28th day of spring I relax and think I should be fine, right? RIGHT??

Well, imagine my surprise when the next day rolls around and I go outside to find out that all of my crops have DIED

A Very Important Arlo Update

An update on yesterday's post about my latest intense hyperfixation, My Time at Portia.

After several days of helping him train for his attempt to join the best adventurer's guild ever, and then another round of public combat in the streets where I once again wiped the floor with him despite being several levels lower:

He immediately asked me out on a buddy date right afterwards. And the next day was like "oh hahahahayouwannabemygirlfriend okaysurehahahaha" .Apparently the key to this man's heart is kicking his ass? Who knew. So I decided to hug it out in celebration:

But um...

Somehow doing this.

Broke the game? Or Arlo? Or both. Because now the man that tried to sneak a birthday present on her doorstep at 7am just to avoid a conversation is just. There. Following her. Forever. To her workshop. Beyond. He decided to cancel their date to the haunted house, but kept on following. And when I would talk to him, he'd keep saying that if I was heading to the "danger ruins" to bring him along (actually they're called the "hazardous ruins" by everyone else in the game and in the actual text, but apparently his voice actor went rogue). And after several in-game hours of trying to get him to go back to his own job, I decided to take him there.

What if we kissed hugged... in the danger ruins? 😳

So now their first unofficial date, because he wouldn't go home (I tried, I escorted him to his bed but he decided he didn't wanna like a toddler), was to go spelunking in the old ruins beating up monsters. Also he died while fighting the boss, leaving me at the mercy and dwindling health while I desperately tried to finish the job. Somehow this seems appropriate and on brand for my experience.

Anyway this is apparently her life now. Or at least it is until I hard quit the game, because Google says that's the way to fix this bug. On the bright side, his help does make clearing out the dungeons go quicker. And this is objectively hilarious.

I just realized the reason I'm so *chews them* about Seam is because they're OLD and well y'all know me. I walk into the retirement home and walk out covered in lipstick marks.

[todayisafridaynight]

this isn't related to rgg at all but finding out you're also a fire emblem fan was great... first the mention of the ike figure then the insane por prices LMAO? i had no idea... what games have you played?

Back In My Day i was known as ‘the eliwood/elihec guy’ and on occasion The Ike Guy LOL but yeah…. Guilty as charged……

As for the games ive played ive played Shadow Dragon (DS remake), Shadows of Valentia, and then FE6-FE3H + FEW (minus Heroes of Light and Shadow)

im an asshole for playing on authentic software hence why i skipped out on FE1-FE5 but maybe one day ill stop being annoying and pick them up on an emulator. Or IntSYS remakes them <- doubtful (well. The rest of the JP-exclusive games anyway lol)

FRUITY HC PROMPTS / @hypnoticallycaucasian / ACCEPTING .

🍎  :    how stable is my muse’s mental health?  have they been diagnosed with any mental illnesses and  /  or conditions?  do they have any undiagnosed mental illnesses and  /  or conditions?  do they or should they attend therapy?  

||. WELL , Link sure does have retrograde amnesia. . . . I'm not kidding about that diagnosis , and he definitely should go to therapy,but to actually answer the question : Link ...exists on a perpetual on a scale, and it always depends on "what time period of Link are you asking about", because the answer will change depending on what he does and doesn't remember.

Link before the Calamity (specifically: before the sword) would have been relatively stable. Outside of being a teenage boy with an extreme sense of duty and pressure to perform, he wouldn't have to contend with much. Healthy home, healthy mindsets, healthy life. It's when he pulled the sword and began to shut his emotions down to be a "reliable hero" that some problems would have begun to manifest. In my headcanon : dissociative episodes (+dissociative amneisa &. subsequent fugue) run congruently with his rising stress levels , and are a related but separate issue to his originally-self-imposed selective mutism.

Link is a slow emotional processor. He thinks through his emotions and takes time to sort them out. (Mostly because he really doesn't get bothered by a whole lot.) But when he's "on duty" or otherwise needed... he doesn't feel himself allowed to take the time to sort it out. Not during, and often not afterwards until well later, either. And then only when he's on his own. In Link's world, it's act first, think (and feel) later. ESPECIALLY when all eyes are on him.

At some point in his development into "Knight Link" (which imo was cemented well before he was actually appointed as Zelda's personal knight), Link's solution to a wealth of emotion without any time to process it all was to focus solely on the physical task at hand, whatever that may be. It ... doesn't shut down the emotion spurring the stress... but he can act. He can do something to stave it all off or fix it while it's happening. Face it head on, and quickly. Unfortunately ... even this isn't always possible in his profession. And this mind vs. heart endeavor is a taxing one. As such, if Link is unable to tackle the issue and fix it, he will rapidly begin to deteriorate into a dissociative episode. Specifically dealing with depersonalization. If the stress continues, Link has a tendency to completely emotionally/mentally black out during these periods. (aka: dissociative amnesia). He'll either seem to be completely spacing out, or completely zeroed in on a task from the outside looking in. (It's caused problems and some serious one-sided arguments with his mother before.)

In some conjunction with this, canonically, Link has been known to voice his inner thoughts and feelings less and less over time. By the time he was appointed to Zelda, it's noted that he barely spoke at all. While he is entirely capable of speech, when he undergoes high stress levels, it can become difficult for him to find the words to voice himself freely. (Now, it is worth nothing that Link is naturally a pretty quiet individual (imo even his voice is on the naturally softer side anyways). Link not talking does not automatically mean he's stressed out. But sometimes there is an inherent inability to speak even if he wanted to.)

All of this is true of Amnesia/Post!Calamity Link, although the triggers are different. Post!Calamity Link struggles a lot more often with depersonalization, derealization and dissociative amnesia + fugue, especially the more he comes to remember his/Hyrule's past. Part of that is due to stress, part of is trauma, and part of it is from just barely cheating death/the reincarnation cycle through the Shrine of Resurrection.
