i feel like sometimes ukraine's eurovision entries are a bit overrated just because we are ukraine, never had a nq, always bring quality, etc.. what i mean is i really don't like teresa & maria. i don't feel the personal connection between the artists and the story they tell. that's why i am still dumbfounded why so many people like it.

there's a reason why i voted for melovin during vidbir. right before the performance, melovin told the audience why he wrote his song, what is the meaning behind it. he told us how he went to a certain writer's grave, asked him for inspiration and later wrote "dreamlover". i feel the connection between the song and its lyrics. it's personal for melovin. i can empathize with that.

when asked about the meaning of the song, jerry heil and alyona alyona gave different answers. which can be true, they are different people after all. but jerry heil's answer didn't feel solid to me. it's like they just took two famous christian female figures and made a song that is supposed to have a deep meaning. the key word is "supposed". maybe alyona alyona does believe in what is singing about, i don't know. but i don't sense it from jerry.

there's a lot of songs that don't fail in this aspect this year. veronika feels so real when raiven sings "i am, you are veronika". i believe her. i believe she is veronika. i know i am veronika.

rim tim tagi dim hits home for so many slavic people. for me especially. i didn't leave my small ukrainian town yet but it could happen. if we lose this war i'm gonna have to leave my hometown. it's different, i know, but so similar. i have friends who live in different countries now, and it wasn't their choice. they just couldn't stay in ukraine. they want to go home, but they can't.

the next example is gonna feel random, no doubt. no rules. the song is about staying true to yourself, having no rules. do i have rules? yes. is having no rules something i can grasp? yes. the song doesn't have to be about something i've experienced to reach me. it just has to be real.

i don't feel anything like that when listening to teresa & maria. i understand the intention but it doesn't work for me. also wanna mention the fact that teresa was a controversial figure and singing about her and mother mary is kinda weird.

(it's not an attack on jerry heil & alyona alyona, i will always support our artists on eurovision, after all, most of the country voted for them)

i just posted my eurovision 2024 top 10 and it's already changing again. decided to listen to "veronika" more and kinda obsessed. though it's definitely hard to remember something from this song, i'm gonna have to listen to it another dozen times to do it. it's not "rim tim tagi dim" that gets stuck in your head from the first note

i cannot keep quiet because gladio being soft with noct or prompto. despite the fact that, you know, he is the most hot-headed out of the group and keeps riling noct on (which is understandable, he wants noct to be decisive, he is supposed to be the king). but gods when he shows that he cares in a fic i am melting. gladio being a protective big brother just makes me go bonkers. i am ready to bite people.

#playing ffxv is being horny for gladio and wanting to kill him at the same time because he is quite harsh at times #like noct's bride just died and iggy went blind. yeah he needs to move on because he is the king but you know it's hard #stop being a bully gladio #final fantasy 15 #ffxv #final fantasy xv #final fantasy #gladiolus amicitia

my eurovision 2024 top 10 as of today... really random because a week ago i didn't care about belgium or luxembourg at all, i thought belgium was overrated, and now i am kinda obsessed with this song. luxembourg is kinda like sweden here, i don't think it's a particularly good song but it's stuck in my head for some reason. however, the lyrics of swedish song are so bad i can't give them more than 1 point lmao. norway is just a song i haven't listened to much before and now i do. i always liked ireland's song, i just hope their vocals are better than at the nf. finland is just really fun. lithuania is still cool but i just don't find myself listening to it much these days. armenia is fun but same. switzerland is great but seems like too much, you know? there's a lot of stuff and it's a bit overwhelming.

anyway, i'm still meowing back.

i've been thinking, even if we assume the game ending is the true ending (which it is not 😇), the only downside for noct is the fact that his buddies are not with him. the guy is having a wedding in the afterlife and his dad is giving his blessings. hell they've even got a realistic copy of the castle and are celebrating. it's safe to assume these three are not the only ones who are chilling like that. they've got noct's mom and luna's family. they also have like billions of people because irl there's only a few thousands survivors. if they want to they can just act like nothing changed and they're all still alive. they've probably got it better too because there's no need to rebuild cities, everything looks brand new.

#but this is still not the real ending yeah #delusion is still there don't worry #just thinking you know #ffxv #final fantasy #final fantasy 15 #final fantasy xv

opinion on ffxv after 75 hours of playing (and one hour of running in circles to level gladio's skill up) (still haven't played any of the dlcs but i'm gonna take a break or something for a few days because i severely neglected my university stuff and spent most of the last week obsessively playing this game)

i love this game. am i tired? hell yeah. would i want all these hours back? hell no.

the game is a mystery to me.

the sidequests are genshin impact open world quests level (which means that if i hear anyone talking, i'm pressing the skip button because i don't give a fuck). you listen to someone yapping about unimportant stuff and they make you collect the same shit over and over again. peak game design.

the main quests are good but the ending made me age 10 years in a week. there's NO NEED for these tragedies. boy you literally have the power of gods on your side and they tell you the only way to get rid of the big bad villain is to kill yourself? sounds like bullshit to me. also why even bother if there's only a few thousands people left in the world. you already lost, all this stuff had to be done 10 years ago to have any meaning. and there's no way the world didn't just implode or something when the sun stopped rising. the true ending is noctis getting spat out of the crystal and realising everyone is long gone because there's no sunlight.

the mentally ill hobo could have been more cooperative too geez. i'll be honest i like him much more than the six. and everyone's like "oh gods are helping you" no they hate me and want me to die for no reason. i'd rather join forces with ardyn and try to take them down. even if he did a lot of questionable stuff (cough- killed my bride -cough-cough- and her brother -cough- also kidnapped my friend and tortured him-)

the hunts are kinda fun when it's a big monster but when it's a bunch of goblins i'm like,,, why did you call me here? ngl i thought all hunts would be like the first one, it was truly cool. there was some kind of plot, some interactions with my friends, some stealth, the monster seemed really tough (meanwhile me, fighting the lvl 99 adamantoise 65 hours later: the ring of lucii go brrr-)

the dungeons are ass. i thought nothing could be as disorienting as daggerfall's randomly generated dungeons but they really managed to do a miracle with ffxv. although the dungeons in ffxv are not scary at all, that's the difference.

the open world is okay. there're some interesting places (when you first see the big mysterious creature in the lake you're like do i have to fight it?? can i get closer to it?? what is this??) and the nature is beautiful. altissia looks majestic but sadly there's not much to do. i appreciate the hard work tho.

using regalia was a delight. when you want to take a break and just look at the landscape you can just sit still with a controller in your hands and enjoy the ride. really therapeutic. don't drive at night when you're low level though... listen to ignis. ignis is always right.

the camp life is by far the best out of all games i've had an experience with. there's so many little details everywhere that you cannot help but adore your companions. it's the way every time you make camp you get a bunch of photos prompto took since the last break. it's the way your companions talk to you almost all the time and you truly feel like you are on a road trip with your friends. it's the way gladio calls you out on your bullshit and afterwards you want to bite his head off each time you talk to him. it's the way ignis cooks for the entire party and makes you help him sometimes. i just love the way friendship is portrayed here.

what was not as good is luna and noct's relationship. there was not enough of luna. yes she loves noct but why? yes noct loves luna but why? luna literally appeared in the plot for two minutes and then tragically died. i think it's really bad. also imagine not seeing your bride for 12 years, when you finally meet her again she immediately dies, then you spend 10 years trapped in a crystal, fucking die and then get to marry your bride. honey it's been 22 years since i last talked to you in person. i'm NOT marrying a random woman in the afterlife (no hate for luna, just this love story didn't seem convincing enough). hopefully i'm gonna see what they wrote in the dawn of the future soon (please pray so that my amazon package doesn't get lost 🙏)

the music is incredible. the woman who wrote the soundtrack is my goddess and i am a devout worshipper 🙏🙏🙏

so, why is the game a mystery to me? because no other game could make me endure 75 hours of boring side quests. i managed to play hogwarts legacy for 44 hours and i despised that game when i finished it. i despised it long before i finished it. but not ffxv. they could make me do all this boring stuff again and i would do it (not for free tho because i've got better things to do with my time 🤣)

i enjoyed ffxv a lot. it also made me depressed for a week because ending a game like that should be a crime. i think i'm gonna do a few last quests after that but there's not much left (and i'm not looking for more because if i think i am done then i am done). not sure how long episodes gladiolus, prompto and ignis are gonna take, but they're also in my plans (no ardyn tho, gotta go watch some playthrough). there's also anime and a film so plenty of content for me. and i am waiting for the arrival of my book 🫡

(noticed that there's nothing about the combat. well it's because i don't care. i don't like combat. i don't like it in any game. i prefer to flee)
