#i'm literally LOOKING for interactions to gain his disapproval!!!!!

[forcedhesitation]

I MISSED THIS ENTIRELY MY FIRST TIME AROUND....THIS IS SO DAMN PRECIOUS?!!

#bg3 spoilers #thoughts about media #this is so sweet. corydalis would cherish this present to the end of his days. #so nice of mirkon to say we killed the harpies in one blow! #we did not. #I couldn't long rest and reset corydalis' empty spell slots because the scene was glitching and the kid would spawn dead. #so i had to forgo the long rest and just fight them. #and then astarion and karlach kept getting lured by the harpy song! #lae'zel was the only one getting anything done! #and she sure as fuck didn't even want to be there!! i brought her to try and boost her approval... #but it's like. stuck at 6 or something equally abysmal because I keep pissing her off by being too nice. #I didn't realise there was an interaction between her and a tiefling in the grove in my first playthrough...she hated me more after that. #GIRL I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE ZORRU BOW FOR YOU! #like corydalis is a tiefling himself! be real lae'zel! #being nice to zorru got us the information we needed anyways... #astarion for whatever reason didn't complain even though i'm pretty sure being too nice in this interaction is supposed to annoy him. #i'm literally LOOKING for interactions to gain his disapproval!!!!! #BECAUSE HIS APPROVAL WON'T GO DOWN!!!!!!!!! #please my dearest I would like to NOT trigger your first romance scene too soon. #honestly if i could romance him without suffering through that again I would be thrilled. but it is not possible. #REALISTICALLY corydalis wouldn't even fall for his lying. he's ten times better a liar than astarion could ever hope to be. #and he's also extremely kind and caring! there's noooo WAY he'd let astarion's evasiveness slide unmentioned. #BUT ALAS. the game only permits you to avoid this TORMENTUOUS experience if you are playing karlach. #goblin camp is next though. I'm SURE I can earn disapproval there with him. #he may be allergic to disagreeing with my tiefling but this is still act 1 astarion! he is a bitter HATER with no healthy outlet. #I just have to like. oh I don't know. offer to help some random npc and ask for nothing in return.

Who's your favorite trio (or duo) from any anime? Why? Genuinely want to know.

From any anime? Oh ho boy. Oh boy okay let's see. Probably gonna choose my favorite of all time: Full Metal Alchemist (specifically Brotherhood as far as the anime goes)

And my gut instinct is to say Ed and Al but i think actually. I think as far as duo's go... I'm gonna say Mustang and Hawkeye. (Hughes is too painful to talk about)

This is gonna be so messy okay. (Spoilers ahead)

They just?? They really genuinely understand and support and trust each other? And they aren't related, they haven't known each other all that long, all things considered and in comparison to others. I'd love to see more of their past when Mustang was apprenticing under Hawkeye's dad, but alas. We get lil snippets. Her listening as Mustang is yelled at by a dying, genius man. That same man putting his secrets on his daughter's back to keep them safe?? HELLO??? And Riza trusts Mustang, Roy, enough to show him? She believes in his kind heart and good intentions.

And then SHE FOLLOWS HIM TO WAR?? even tho she was a quiet, meek thing in the flashbacks, very disapproving of the military. But she follows him because again, she trusts in him and his words and his goals.

And then she has him burn her back BURN HER BACK cuz the power he wields is too horrifying to allow anyone else to gain it (but STILL she trusts him and doesn't ask him to stop using it).

All their interactions are just. They pick on each other all the time, they look at each other and KNOW the plan. They get sneaky and get shit done that could be treason by Roy acting like a playboy while Riza acts as one of his girls, but they're actually like hunting homonculus and shit. He calls her and immediately knows something is wrong, they have a signal to talk in code, they literally have each other's backs and--

The way Envy tries to trick Riza but she just knows Roy too well. THE WAY. THEY--

Okay deep breath this part THIS PART:

where Roy is succumbing to horrible, revenge filled madness, and Riza has a gun pointed to him cuz he made her promise to shoot him if he fell off the path. And he said "and then what would you do?" And she says she has no intention of living on without him and he just. He just melts and comes back to himself AND ???? That scene is just. It's So Much.

Riza leading Roy while he's blind and being able to tell him exactly where to direct his flames and how much.

It's been stated by the author that the reason they aren't together romantically is cuz then they couldn't work "side by side" anymore. HHH.

Idk my brain is so mush rn i cannot put this in a comprehensive manner but they're just. Their trust and care and shared goals is too much. I really deeply love them.

#thatanimequeen #thanks for asking 💚 #I'm a mess for this show in general tbh so like #royai #fma #i just have so many feelings
