#well very minor spoilers

There is one sidequest from totk that I found it super relatable is that one the old lady shopkeeper from kakariko is short on eggs because her cuccos are laying them in a new place and she didn't figure it out where yet

When I had chickens that was a thing that happened all the time, they just change their nests as they please

Seeing this on tears of the kingdom was such a cute detail, having a sidequest like that; love the game even more by the little details it brings

Mashle anime staffs right now: oh god the series is getting super popular, everyone loves Rayne and worships the ground he walks on but he won't be making any more appearances this season QUICK ADD SOME ANIME-ORIGINAL CAMEOS TO GIVE THE FANS SOME CRUMBS

Man. I just can't help but imagine Critical Role x Baldur's Gate 3 drabbles or a fic or something of that some sort. Idk, I just think it'd be really funny and also a chance for some really cute scenes. Especially with the Mighty Nein.

Now obviously there'd probably be SO much mistrust between the two groups, but just imagine if you will(possibly very minor spoilers under the cut):

Caleb and Gale(and maybe Essek) talking about wizard stuff and cats.

Jester introducing everyone to Artagan. I think Astarion would either like him or fucking hate him.

Karlach, Yasha, and Beau just working out together. Buff lesbians

Fjord and Wyll bonding over shitty patrons. If it's post Ukatoa then Fjord giving Wyll some hope about his situation. I just think it'd be sweet.

Caduceus and Halsin. That's it. I think they'd talk for literally HOURS, just drinking tea and talking about random shit and their respective circles 'n such. ALSO, I'm just imagining them sort of gossiping about and spilling their respective party's secrets to eachother. They'd be silly lol

Jester overhearing the whole convo with Astarion and Tav(if there's a tav in this??) about him not being able to see his reflection and immediately getting to work drawing a portrait of him. As soon as she shows and gives it to him, he's his usual sorta sassy self about it but he absolutely cherishes it.

Also I feel like Astarion would see different bits of his own past in some of the Mighty Nein, specifically Caleb and Yasha, and it'd piss him the FUCK off.

Jester and/or Molly reading the groups fortunes just for fun, the Oracle of the Moon Deck has some cards that would make the groups fortunes REALLY INTERESTING. Maybe Molly also pulls out some of the old circus tricks for fun.

On the topic of Molly, I think Lae'zel would have this very confusing respect for Molly? She'd find them really foolish at first and not think much of them, but I think she'd then see them actually in combat and be impressed with their skills.

I feel like Nott/Veth would just start mothering some of the bg3 party. Like not heavily, but a bit similar to how she does with Caleb. I could def see her pairing up with Astarion to steal some shit. Maybe King joins in if he's there.

Jester giving some of the group tattoos. Not everyone would get them obviously but I could definitely see Karlach and I suppose Tav going for it.

Nein Sided Tower shenanigans. That's all.

The character creator was the last marketing reveal I was looking forward to before the game's release. And it really is the best cc by Bioware so far! ✨️

But isn't it nice of them to apparently assume that the Inquisitor didn't get any gray hair while worrying about Solas blowing up the Veil any day for the past nine years? Or that Rook has not gone through some gray hair-inducing experiences? :D

Edit (This probably shouldn't hide in the tags bc it's important for the tone): Don't get me wrong, I loved seeing everything there is! There are many small options I didn't expect. But graying hair not being included simply puzzled me...

why did zelda do that

And so, inevitably, I got around to making gijinkas of my original favorite Kirby characters! I was stuck on them for quite a while because I didn’t want to make them look too much like Magolor (my fault for giving him the head wings, I know) and I also didn’t want them to look too much like they do in canon because I think the fun of gijinka as a design exercise for me is adapting design elements into a new context, and also Elfilin doesn’t have any clothing or body details to work off of which made coming up with his outfit really hard, but I had the idea for the hair and liked it so much I just decided to run with completely human-looking designs for them. (The closest I have for an in-universe justification for this is like… maybe the Ancients were humans before they were catpeople - wait I still haven’t posted my Hyness gijinka - and Elfilis originally looked the same as in canon but changed to mimic them at some point for DNA acquisition and/or sympathy-garnering reasons. Idk it doesn’t really matter just really funny comparing them with Magolor lol)

Fun Fact! The double helix motifs in Elfilis’ spear and Forgo’s ear are left-handed (if you make a thumbs up with your left hand the stuff twists in the direction your fingers are curled as it moves the direction your thumb is pointing), which is the opposite chirality from the DNA in all known life (it’s right-handed). I’d be willing to bet that was on purpose to make them more alien. I went a little crazy with the left-handed double helixes in these designs; in fact, the positions of Elfilis/Forgo and Elfilin make a left-handed double helix through the whole post! Not even on purpose!

Anyway, had a lot of fun with these and wanna do more with them in the near future (now I can put Elfilin in cute clothes irl AND on my computer)

AGIT: Clockwork is the embodiment of the time stream itself, and his staff is part of it!

Me, with 10 years of worldbuilding fanon I'm very attached to: okay but actually just the position is :) not Clockwork himself :) and the staff is passed down to signify it :) you can't take this away from me I'll cry :)

People go, "Mob is autistic and Reigen has adhd" and while that isn't wrong, I think both of them have adhd/autism combo just in different ways

UBW general thoughts!!! FATE SPOILERS FOR UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS ROUTE BELOW PUTTING A READ MORE JUST IN CASE 😭

I think this route was absolutely amazing. I loved every moment with how the plot just kept going and going, never really stopping for one second and I was all here for it. Everything with Archer and Shirou was just well executed, and if I didn’t have a pea for a brain, I would definitely go more into the whole ideal theme UBW has and how Shirou’s ideal and his view on that ideal evolves as the route goes on. The moment where Rin and Saber become master and servant, Archer when he blatantly reveals his projection powers and reality marble, Heracles’ battle against Gilgamesh, and Lancer in this whole route tbh were a lot of my main favorite highlights of the route!

That being said, I do have a bit of a few minor gripes for some of the writing, specifically with Rin and Shirou’s relationship and how it plays in the final act. This may be more of a personal feeling, but I’m not the biggest fan of the Rin/Shirou romantic pairing; I don’t think UBW as a whole brought enough to make me endeared to their dynamic in a romantic aspect, but I love their dynamic in a general sense because I see both of their characters as foils to each other due to their vastly different lives as a result from the same war. Not only that, Shirou is one of the few people to really understand Rin’s nature and inner kindness, as well as how she struggles with her emotions and being vulnerable. I do feel, however, that Rin’s relationship with Archer stuck out way more to me because of their trust and final parting (more similarities with the Fate route which I appreciate) and that it didn’t feel forced to be a romance; in fact, it played more off of gratitude than anything else because of how Rin saved Shirou in the prologue, because she saved him it became the catalyst for Rin to summon Archer and have him be her servant, which I felt was such an amazing tie in with both their characters and with the way the prologue addresses both of their perspectives. And this underlying gratitude and thanks is addressed again in the ending when Archer disappears because Rin promises him yet again she’ll look after his younger self, to make sure he doesn’t stray from his own path. The thanks Archer gives at the end and their parting had so much more impact for me than anything regarding Rin and Shirou’s romance if I’m being truly honest 😭

— Speaking of Rin’s character, I think UBW missed a major part of Rin’s character they could’ve addressed, and that is her relationship with her father. This is mostly glossed over the fact and is really only touched upon when Kirei reveals that he was the one to have killed him. They kind of touched upon it earlier in the route? When Rin first takes Shirou to her house and she explains how much she’s bothered by how Kiritsugu handled Shirou when it came to teaching magic. The scene here hints to an underlying resentment and jealously from Rin when it comes to Shirou, not only because he essentially became a master with barely any training in contrast to her who’s been training her whole life for this war, but also because Shirou was lucky to have a parent there with him. Shirou had a father who took care of him and stayed with him, which I think deep down Rin had wanted from her father too despite on the surface she doesn’t take criticism of her father lightly. Addressing this sort of discrepancy and complexity Rin has with her father would’ve added another layer to her being a foil to Shirou, and it would’ve shown explicitly that Rin isn’t entirely gung-ho when it comes to simply just fulfilling her dead father’s legacy blindly, that having her also question her own views of her father would’ve been so interesting to see as an internal conflict of hers imo.

What kind of mainly bothered me about UBW was how Rin’s flaws were never really addressed(?) I think is the right word I’m trying to say 😭 but with the way Rin has people here who understand her true nature (Shirou, Saber, and Archer), I do want to see a situation play out to where her emotional constipation and her struggles with vulnerability backfire heavily for her, and as a result, she herself has to fix it and learn to be more vulnerable with the people she loves and cares about. I think that would be such a great resolution to her overall character, and from what I know about Heaven’s Feel and how UBW sets up for that route specifically, I have high expectations since I’ve also heard Rin plays a major role in Heaven’s Feel as well.

— As for how the true ending played out, I was a bit skeptical as to why Shinji of all people had to survive at the end, especially when this guy was heavily implied to have sexually assaulted Ayako earlier in the route and would’ve assaulted Rin if not for Lancer 😭 the only reason I can think of as to why this route kept him alive was because of Shirou’s ideal to “save everyone” but other than that, I don’t think him surviving really adds anything else to the route itself. I also think the true end didn’t expand on said romantic relationship between Rin and Shirou that much, barely even at all in the original VN scenes. Although, from what I’ve seen of the anime adaptation of UBW, they did add a lot more to the epilogue when it came to Rin and Shirou attending college as well as additional cute moments between them that I feel the VN really needed for their relationship; the extra scene where they’ve built a grave for Saber also was very sweet and touching, so I’ll give credit where it’s due for the anime in adding more content to the true ending I feel it desperately needed.

It’s because of this lack of completeness I felt for the true ending that I ended up preferring the good ending over it 😭 and I don’t think that’s mainly because of the polycule stuff. As much as I love all the moments between Shirou Rin and Saber as a trio, I feel like this ending did a better job in solidifying the bond between the 3, as well as still establish the possibility of Rin teaching Shirou magic, so it’s not completely far off from the true end, but tbh it just feels more complete to have Saber still be there because of how important as a person she is to both Rin and Shirou.

Even in the final fight of the route, it felt more of a Rin and Saber and Shirou fight instead of an oriented fight with Rin and Shirou being the main focuses, and I think that’s what really strayed me from the Rin and Shirou romance especially with coming off of the Fate route 😭 because my expectations were that Rin and Shirou’s relationship were going to be a major focus in the final fight, but it turned out to be more of the trio’s relationship with each other instead.

— And this one isn’t really a critique, but Illya was surprisingly very absent in this route. With the exception of being in the very beginning and in one of the final fights in the end against Gilgamesh, Illya doesn’t play a major role, which I think could only mean her importance and focus is played up a lot more in Heaven’s Feel instead.

I wouldn’t have been mad if this was the first or second episode of the season tbh

We need to try harder to make Nintendo acknowledge the CDi games. I think that'd be funny
