#where is the ZEST

[inthewiiildwoods]

from the little of the tag i've skimmed it doesnt seem like the shipping scene is very robust here. most art also seems to be of the non-human variety. i suppose i must fulfil my duty as The One Guy™

she's listed as "sugar mama" in somebody's son's phone.

Elias/jon would be such a good ship if I cared about elias at all. because you hear "he slowly molds him into the centerpiece of his ritual by sending different people to attack him, but not kill him, while posing as his harmless boss" and you think oh hell yeah there's bound to be some toxic homoerotic tension. But then elias is just some guy

When did Cory and John become official I’m hooked man also did they ever hook up with each other

No one's technically officially yet, though I do have plans!! I don't think Cory ever hooked up with anyone he's too bashful 😳

[vaguely-concerned]

so was anyone going to tell me that tinned anchovy and some spices sizzled in olive oil makes the most delicious sauce you've ever tasted in your life or was I just going to have to have that semi-religious experience by myself

If I say “I just made a vanilla cake with an orange zest buttercream frosting” why are you asking me for a recipe like all the information is right there do you really think that my cake recipe is THAT different to every other cake recipe on earth

[pocket-size-cthulhu]

Me: man, where's my zest for life? Why am I not feeling it anymore? How much longer will I feel like this?

Me on day 3 of a 4-day weekend: ahhh this is nice. I think I'll make an omelette and a smoothie and some phone calls I've been putting off and a few stickers I've been thinking about and a plan for decorating my living room...

Me: wait a second

I lost my bookbinding mojo in the middle of two projects 🫠 The unfinished text blocks are currently sitting on my desk, mocking me when I sit down to do anything else

My two main criticisms of Mecha BREAK right out the gate is that for some reason it seems like you move way too slow even for the faster mechs. Armored Core 6 has you piloting literal tanks at mach jesus and it really feels like that but in Mecha BREAK the movement feels so much like overwatch standard speed. Doesn't need to be too much faster but maybe something closer to the speed your boost animation would have you believe you're going.

Secondly, it appears that in the far off future of scifi wonderland that black/brown people simply dont exist, and all the characters/pilots have the same boring ass cookie cutter design

i think maybe i need to replay rebirth some time to look at this diplomatically because aerith is My Favourite and i might be biased but i think my biggest story critique of rebirth is that i wish they'd done a little more with her. given that this is the game she dies in i found it strange that they didn't push her into the foreground a little more since this is their last real chance to do that with her as a living member of the party (i'm sure she'll show up in some limited capacity in part 3 but dead lifestream!aerith is pretty different to alive!aerith i think).

i know that sounds like a weird thing to say when you consider stuff like them giving her the game's theme song to sing during loveless and the fact that the last chapter is basically The Aerith Movie but there is a strange lack of focus on her in moments where it feels like we should get more from her throughout the narrative. this game pushes tifa and cloud's relationship more in the mandatory story segments, and i LOVED what they did with that relationship in this game, but it felt odd that the same focus was not given to cloud's relationship with aerith throughout the story given that the ending hinges on him being so devastated by her death that he enters a delusional state of grief. and this isn't even a shipping thing bc as far as shipping goes i'm an aerti truther and i feel pretty equally neutral about both cloti and clerith as romances (if anything i prefer cloti!). it's about giving proper narrative buildup to the relationship that the game's tragic ending hinges on - a lot of aerith's most interesting scenes with cloud in the bulk of the game are optional, which i think is a weird thing to do given what the game is building to.

i also wish they did more with her being a cetra! again, the last couple chapters put focus on this but prior to that aerith is weirdly quiet about it. particularly in cosmo canyon, while we do get the lovely bonfire scene, aerith otherwise has a weird lack of dialogue when it comes to the lore dump scenes with the gi and bugenhagen. i expected her to feel some type of way about these revelations but any indication of that is at best subtext and she doesn't really say a lot about it. and for all that they emphasise aerith and nanaki's connection early on as beings closer to the planet, once you get to cosmo canyon there's a weird lack of payoff for it. same with tifa's dunk in the lifestream - i kinda thought aerith might have something to say about it as a cetra, and in fairness i think it's possible she did and the game is withholding some of aerith and tifa's offscreen interactions for part 3 (i swear this isn't even just an aerti cope lol i think the fact that they deliberately show them talking without us getting to hear it might be something they come back to), but i also wish we got to connect with this part of aerith's character more NOW, while she's still here, so it can inform our understanding of her choices and feelings at the end. i just find it kind of a bummer because aerith's complicated relationship to her heritage is a fascinating aspect of her character and her tragedy that i think goes a little untapped in this game, which means it's likely to go untapped in the story as a whole since she's. you know. dead.

My cishet fellow interns when I talk about my mission to hunt down all the Garfield statues in the city limits: why would you do that? I’d rather just be on my phone

When I talk to my queer friend group about my mission to hunt down all the garfield statues within city limits: we should make a day out of it when the weather is warmer!! 👀 Have you seen the defunctland video about the garfield dark ride? we should all go out for lasagna after ✨

I forgot how much fun it was to actually cut out cookies in cute shapes and now I'm itching to do more even though I've got a whole plate of shortbreads to myself. If I do the rosemary again, I'm either leaving the amount of rosemary I added the same and upping the lemon content or decreasing the amount of rosemary. Possibly both since I want the cookies to be pretty lemon heavy.
