i am playing professor layton and the curious village on my ds. very fun!!!
I don't know if i'm very far in because most of the time spent in that game was me being confused and bad at puzzles. it's fun though.
!!! im glad to hear youre enjoying it!! its one of my fav titles and honestly such an underrated series, id love it if more ppl gave it a try!
the puzzles can be difficult but very rewarding!! i used to dread them as a kid but now i find them nice and challenging. the math ones are still hard, but if u speak to Flick at the cafe he'll give you chess puzzles which i think were my favorite ^_^
Tara shakes her head, tears in her eyes. "No! No, I won't. I can't."
"You can," Sam implores, taking her hand. "You have to be strong, ok darling? Can you be strong for me?"
"I'm not strong," Tara sobs, collapsing into her sister. "I'm not like you, I can't do this."
Sam's arms wrap around her, holding her tight. "I'm so sorry babygirl, I never wanted you to be like me, I've never wanted that."
"Then why would you make me do this?" Tara cries into Sam's shoulder, clutching at her back. She digs her fingers in, memorises the way she feels against her body like it's the very last time she'll get to hold her.
The realisation that this will be the last time breaks her.
Sam feels the way Tara's legs give way, folding into her completely. She carries her sister down to the ground in her arms and closes her eyes in a vain attempt to prevent the tears that have begun to fall.
She doesn't want to leave, but she has no choice this time.
"I don't want to live like this," she whispers, face buried in Tara's hair. "Please Tara, every day I lose more and more of myself. If I hurt you..." Sam squeezes her sister hard. "I can't imagine anything worse than waking up to find your blood on my hands."
Tara yanks herself back, a fist smacking Sam on the shoulder. "That's what you're asking me to do! To live with- to be the- the one to- to... to lose you."
Sam's hand raises to cup Tara's cheek. "I'm selfish, I know. I want you to be the last thing I see. Not him, not some freak in a mask. Just you; my sun, my heart. Please." Sam reaches down without looking - she can't look away from her sister, not now - to pick up the abandoned knife, holding it out to her.
Tara's eyes flick down. "But- but what if there's something we haven't tried yet, something that can help," she begs, like she hasn't a thousand times before.
"There isn't." There honestly isn't. She's tried everything, everything. Does she think that she hasn't? As if she would ever make this decision for herself, for Tara, without knowing there was literally no other way to end this.
The medication stopped working long ago, there's no more hope. Not for her, not for them.
"I need you to kill me, Tara. I need you to put a stop to this, once and for all. It has to be you."
heyyyyy i know i haven't been active in literal months, but part of the reason is because im working on a big fic that's been taking up most of my free time for the past year and a half, so i thought it might be fun to update everyone on what's been going on
Is there a particular reason why you ship Samarie and Oliva?
Anon you have no idea how long I've wanted to ramble on this crackship ❤️
Ok so it started as a joke between me and my friends where we were talking about Olivia doing blunt rotation and who from the termina cast should be invited for it, i said Samarie and one of them added like "for once her anxiety lessens" and i was like huh fun.
And i thought, hey with Samarie needing to be saved and brought back to the train on morning day 1 and Olivia (if she isn't the mc) not being able to leave the train area until day 2 that makes day 1 evening the prime time for them to meet because they're both in there and i doubt there's many others to talk with when the majority has left to explore the town. Which then made me realize that in this scenario Samarie gets to develop a real connection with someone that doesn't start with mind reading and stalking from her part but instead with a conversation, like a normal relationship.
This isn't to say that Samarie wouldn't mind read Olivia or become clingy, nah this is Samarie, she would absolutely still do that. Tho perhaps (emphasis on perhaps) to a lesser extent or at least trying to go about it differently? Since she saw how her ways of trying to show Marina that she cared seemed to have the opposite effect i like to think that when seing Olivia's toughts on her sister Samarie would try to stop herself from assuming that she hates her like how she assumed Marina hated her father and wanted him dead from using mind read on her.
There's also the fact that amongst the character interaction you can have after you've been tied up killing someone Olivia's is arguably the nicest one of them and she even seems conflicted about deeming the player character a monster or considering them beyond redemption after what they did, which in turn makes me think she could act in a similar manner to Samarie.
Is this accurate to canon? Most likely not, if i recal correctly Samarie tends to be less open to anyone who isn't Marina. But this is my beloved weirdgirl x weirdgirl ship and i like to imagine Samarie not ruining her relationship with a girl before it even starts
I don't know if she counts, since alternate timeline/multiverse etc but for my money Kid Flash in Kingdom Come has the best Flashfam outfit
I mean that outfits cute but it also just gives me a like kon superboy vibe with the jacket belt and sunglasses it's very subjective but to me personally it can't come close to jess' outfit
Personally, I like the idea of the bracelets in Mother 3 corresponding to each character's respective star sign, because it's essentially like saying, "yeah astrology is real in the Mother Series, but it's only really relevant for this one item. Now put on the bracelet so I can fight you, boy"
Periodic reminder if we're mutuals to please tag any post containing spiders 😭. Like I know bg3 is fun and all and that scene with tasting the meat is pretty funny but I'd like to go about my day not triggering my horrible arachnophobia
i was tagged by @anthonypanics! thanks for including me :)
were you named/named yourself after anyone?
there's a nonzero chance i named myself after a jojo character
when was the last time you cried?
when i was cleaning out my room before i started college. i was looking through old notebooks that had seen AGES of my life.
the specific one that made me cry was one that had covers in it from when i was in 4th grade, that then got used by my mom as a rabisco for a while. like this notebook had been through a lot, felt like a family heirloom for some reason.
after finding it mom showed me the song O Caderno by Toquinho and i sobbed.
do you have kids?
nope! if i did i'd be worried
do you use sarcasm a lot?
i think i use it more than i think i do. i say i don't like sarcasm but sometimes its fun when its very clear its a bit.
what's the first thing you notice about people?
this is a hard one. i'd have to say personal style? i tend to look at people's clothes a lot, then hair and any jewelry they might have. faces come as a close second (but i'm trying to make it a first for art reasons)
what's your eye colour?
dark brown last time i checked
any special talents?
i'm a really fast learner! or so i've been told. people tell me i pick up skills super quickly, but to me i can't pick them up fast enough for the amount of things i want to do.
scary movies or happy endings?
i wish i could pick scary movies. seeing letsplays of indie horror games makes me want to deep dive into horror, especially the real metaphorical psychological horror ones, but unfortunately i'm a big baby coward who gets jumpscared and panicked just from watching someone else play a scary game lmao
where were you born?
a city in Brazil!
what are your hobbies?
a whole lotta stuff!
digital art, writing, some traditional art, conlanging, game dev, web dev, 3d modeling...
now the amount i engage with these hobbies is WIIILDLY uneven, but i'm doing my best to tip the scale
have any pets?
used to! my sweet little kitty passed away last year.
what sport do you play/have you played?
i think i've played handball, futebol, tennis, (does swimming count as a sport? i did a lot of that) and i took like 2 classes of HEMA before quitting.
how tall are you?
i get a different measurement each time i go to the doctor but around 5'8
favourite subject at school?
i really liked english and language learning classes! until they got hard and i started sucking at them lmao
dream job?
very good question... currently im aiming to be a linguist. i'd love to do fieldwork and study how bilingualism affects people and language shift and accents etc. all of that is so cool to me!!

jjk - was debating about this since the new disney x jjk characters thing but i love the angst
bsd - we’re all suffering together every single chapter (last one omg)
blue lock - surprising i think, but they have some of my favourite fics ever. unfortunately i wasn’t there when it was so popular so i missed out on some (read: most) of the fanart etc. but the ones i’ve seen i love so much
percy jackson - i loved it so so much - binged fics, obsessed over viria, stalked incorrect quotes blogs - the usual - you know what i mean - i loved the uncle rick thing it was just amazing
I would like to add something to the previous ask: in all non cf routes one of billy’s primary motivators is finding rhea and bringing her back home safely. They also get knocked out because they tried to help her during the monastery siege. I quite like them outside of their self insert aspect and i agree that barring it, their relationship with rhea is a highlight as they obviously care a great deal for each other, s support or not.
Yep!
Which is why Billy fails at a self-insert - even when their character was nuked to make Tru Piss feasible - because Billy likes that place with weirdos that is supposed to be a school, where people ask them if they're alright, take time to talk to them and where they aren't sitting in silence, eating on their own while people mumble about they don't seem to be human, call them by a nickname they don't like and where they're not even sure they are appreciated by Jerry.
Despite the 526 red herrings about "Rhea Sus" and the general "Church BaD" - both to make Tru Piss an option and to justify taking Rhea out of the picture so they player's self-insert can become the most powerful and important person on the continent without any equals/rivals (especially in SS) - Billy likes to hang out with Rhea. And I find it hilarious that Billy doesn't listen to Jerry - who warns them to be distant with Rhea - and A supports her during the pre TS, being the only unit who can be A supported during the Pre TS!
Billy wants to get to know their lizard fam - and spend time with their newfound fam made by all those randoms in the monastery!
And in games where Tru Piss doesn't exist and there's no need to uwu... yeah, Billy can freely spend time with her, mention how they'd like to have the rest of the family join them for the next summer banner, etc etc.
