all the stills were great, but this one breathed life into me, cured all my various ailments, saved the world from impending disaster, and redefined the meaning of love in nothing but the most gorgeous, wondrous, hopeful arrangement of pixels. and i can't stop staring at it.
so yeah, if you like this, please share it-- i spent literal hours of my life last night when i was supposed to be sleeping, trying to scrub the neon magenta cast off of wille's face. i feel like i deserve some love for that, haha. i am le tired. (worth it, though!)
ANYWAY, how about you? how we doin', folks? march 3rd! are we ready? (i am not, but also i would prefer to have the season NOW, plzkthx.)
the base image for this was HD, so if anyone needs a slightly larger resolution, let me know, and i'll see if i can whip it up. the lyrics are from the song "crystallized" by young the giant, which is an excellent song that you all should look up! it was the first song that popped into my mind when i saw this still, and also inspired some of the filters i used here.

The Way You Kiss Me
Tumblr media
[Travis "Trapper" Beasley x Female!Reader]
Synopsis: He’s called “Trapper” for a reason.
WC: 1443
Category: Fluff, Lime/Spice
I would say this is a fan service… but, truthfully, I couldn’t help myself. This is a service to myself LMFAO (enjoy the gif of Dan in The Guest since GxK is still fresh in theaters. I cannot wait for this movie to come out in hd quality 🤭)
『••✎••』
Trapper was a bit of a wildcard, in your opinion. You'd known him since your teenage years and had been the one to give him his name. He'd always been a bit of a recluse, even back then. The man was more comfortable around animals than he was with people. The compassion he had for the four-legged beasts was something you had always admired. It was his love of nature and the wild that had drawn you in; you'd never been able to pinpoint why.
That had been over ten years ago, but it felt like no time had passed. You had gone to school, became what you always dreamed of, and moved back to your hometown.
And, of course, it was only inevitable that Trapper would have trapped you.
It hadn't happened right away.
No, it had started slow, like a creeping fog. You didn't even notice it until you found yourself missing the smell of his cologne and his walkman that he still carried around everywhere.
“Yeah, luv, not everywhere's got Wi-Fi, you know?” He would always say, and the thick Australian accent would make your heart flutter.
He was kind, gentle, and a bit goofy. He could sing like a dream (not really, he was quite awful) and was the best vet in the whole world, or at least in your mind. He was utterly perfect on the inside.
And the outside? Well, a pure accident had gotten you two together.
You'd gone into his office, just like every other time, to borrow another of his rare records. Usually, he was there to let you in, but when he wasn't, you were thankful he kept a spare key under the mat.
The office had been quiet, and as you walked through the small space, you frowned, knowing that he never missed a day, even when he was sick.
Turns out your suspicion was right.
His water got cut off, so he swung by the office to shower, and well, you'd gotten to him before he'd managed to change. So, there you were, in your scrubs and lab coat, walking in on him fresh from a shower, wearing nothing but a towel around his waist.
It had been an awkward encounter, to say the least.
Trapper was not a big guy. Sure, he had broad shoulders and was decently strong, but his height was on the shorter side, and his muscles were more toned than they were bulky. He was handsome in his own way, and that was one thing you'd always liked. He didn't look like a bodybuilder or some sort of model. He looked like a normal man.
But the moment you saw him standing there, dripping wet and looking a bit shocked, it was like a switch flipped. Your knees felt weak, and the butterflies that had made their homes in your stomach started flapping their wings, making you feel all flustered and a bit embarrassed.
It made it worse when you realized he had his Walkman hanging around his neck. Dude couldn’t even make it a day without his favorite tunes.
And the fact that you had his favorite record clutched in your arms wasn’t helping.
You were the first to speak.
"S-Sorry, I didn't mean to barge in like this; I was just-."
He cut you off.
"Ah, yeah, forgot to call, didn't I? Water got shut off this morning, thought I'd shower here." He looked around. "Sorry 'bout the mess. Didn't know you were coming by today."
The towel was slipping. You could see his hip bones. You tried to look away, but you couldn't help it. He had such a nice body, and you'd never even noticed it until then.
You shook your head.
"It's fine. I, um, was just looking for one of your records; I didn't mean to."
He raised his hands.
“Settle down, sweetheart, don't get yourself worked up. No harm done."
It was only then that he seemed to realize what was happening. His eyes widened slightly.
"Oh. Sorry, I can just..."
"No, no, it's fine. Go ahead."
It was then that he noticed the album you had clutched to your chest. A smile spread across his face, and he gave you a knowing look.
"Fleetwood Mac… again? How many times is this now? Four?"
You flushed.
"I told you, they're my favorite."
He smiled and shook his head.
"You're lucky I don’t mind sharing. Come on, let's see which one it is."
As he took the album from you, his hand brushed yours, and you couldn't help the jolt that went up your arm.
He didn't seem to notice, thankfully, and instead flipped open the case.
"Ah, Rumours. My personal favorite."
Your heart was racing. You could hear your blood in your ears, and all you could think about was how good he looked in a towel.
He looked up and met your gaze. His lips twitched upwards.
"Welp,” He closed the case and handed it back to you. “Go ahead. It's all yours."
He stepped past you and walked to his office, leaving a trail of water behind him. You stood there, unable to move, just staring after him, the record still held tight to your chest.
"Hey, Traps?" You called.
He appeared in the doorway.
"Yeah?"
"What’re you listening to?"
He grinned and held up his Walkman.
“Toto. I was feeling a bit… nostalgic."
You couldn't help the laugh that came from your lips.
"Of course you are."
His grin was contagious, and he disappeared back into his office, leaving you standing there, feeling like a teenage girl with her first crush. Except the crush didn’t stay a crush for long.
You forget what happened initially, but one minute, you were holding the record out in the hallway; the next minute, you were on the couch in his office, the record discarded on the floor, and his lips were on yours.
You weren’t really sure who had kissed who first, but you had been surprised at his actions, and he had pulled away quickly.
The break was short-lived, and the next thing you knew, you were both making out, his freshly picked out plaid pullover discarded somewhere, and your hands buried in his hair, tugging at the ashy blonde locks as he peppered kisses all along your neck.
His skin was soft, and you could tell he put lotion on. His hair smelled like the shampoo he used, and his breath smelled like coffee and mint.
He had a bit of scruff on his cheeks, and you could feel the hairs brush against your skin. Ticklish, but in a good way.
He had strong hands, and they were running along your sides, pulling your hips against his, and the pressure was enough to make you moan into his mouth.
Nothing further had happened that day. It was his workplace, after all. It's one of the things he actually took seriously. But that didn’t stop you two from doing things in his office on the weekends.
Like now, for instance.
He had you pressed up against the door, his mouth working along your jaw and down your neck, his hands running over your back.
Your head was swimming. You couldn’t think straight. The only thing you could process was him: his touch, his smell, his voice.
You felt him push a leg between yours, and you ground yourself against him.
The groan that rumbled in his chest had you shivering, and you reached for him, fingers grabbing for purchase on his shirt.
He was a sight to behold. Hair mussed from your fingers, lips red and swollen, eyes darkened by lust.
His Walkman was never too far, and as his lips moved back up to meet yours, his hands were fiddling with the buttons. Honestly, it was a miracle he could still find the music while being preoccupied.
The sounds of the first few notes of the song had you smiling.
He pulled away and grinned, eyes sparkling with amusement.
"A fan of this one?"
You didn't answer.
Instead, you took his hand and twirled him, pulling him against you, chests pressed together.
His laughter rang in your ears, and the next thing you knew, you were swaying back and forth, cheek resting against his chest, his chin resting atop your head.
For a little while, you forgot about everything: no work, no big apes or lizards, no giant monsters or crazy scientists.
There was no need for them. Not now.
You were trapped in his arms, and you had no plans of breaking free.

Halsin's Daughter Headcannons PT4: Past in the Underdark / ✨️Mommy Issues✨️ and Life in Baulder's Gate
‼️‼️‼️TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions of Depression, Abuse, SA, Violence, etc. I'm talking like Game of Thrones style shit so Minors DNI. Consider this NSFW‼️‼️‼️
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
AN: So yeah we're on part 4 now and you might be asking "Why do this?" If you want the truth; I am going through it right now, and this is currently the only thing bringing me joy. Let's just say that the semi colon tattoo I have wants to turn into a period. I also really just think this character (cannon or not) is relatable (to me at least).
✨️yes yes, very sad. ANYWAYS: All posts relating to Halsin's Daughter can be found here ✨️
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Past in the Underdark:
As stated in the previous posts, her past in the underdark was rough.
She was the bastard child of Halsin and a drow noble - she was treated as a novelty object (just like her father)
The was the maid servant in her house; cooked, cleaned, scrubbed the toilets
Not only that, but she was basically a toy to her siblings. She was expected to entertain them as their mother was too busy to mind them (All of her siblings are her half siblings, who are full noble blood)
Her sisters, being jealous of her looks, would cut her hair in her sleep and smear makeup on her face. They would cut holes in her clothes. She was basically the barbie doll that you used to abuse and then toss in the bottom of the toy box.
Her worst abuser was her older brother. "Little rabbit" he would call her. This was because "You are a creature who's only purpose is to satisfy a hunger or a need for others. You were born to die. "
He is a fucking psychopath - he got a thrill out of chasing her around the underdark and hunting her for funsies.
He knew exactly where she would be hiding and would scrape the tip of his sword on the ground for her to hear
His favorite thing to do was to chase her down to mere exhaustion - to where he could see her heart beat out of her chest.
When she turned into a teenager is when he started S assaulting her. He thought she was a fun thing for him and his friends to play with at parties.
He would practice his knife play on her, pinning her down and slowly cutting pieces of her clothes off, nicking and cutting here and there.
Her mother would exclaim "Don't cut her face! We need her face in perfect condition"
DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HER MOTHER.
She was a drow noble and I imagine that the houses and loyalties and land, etc. was all like an episode of Game of Thrones
As soon as he mother saw how beautifully she grew, she started treating her like a doll. She would dress her just as extravagantly as her sisters and sell her body to gain favors.
If HD ever defied her mother, she would have her son beat her, strip her naked in front of his friends to humiliate her, etc.
One day; during an important galla, she was serving drinks when she accidently spilt wine on a guest. The man was furious and smacked her so hard she fell backwards.
Her mother had her brother drag her out by her hair and pull her into a private room to be punished.
Being the sadistic psychopath that he is, he pushes her against the wall by her throat and starts ripping her dress off of her.
Every other time this happened, she just closed her eyes and waited for it to be over. She was so numb and hollow on the inside it didn't matter.
HOWEVER. This time, it was different. She felt a surge of pure unbridled rage go through her. A bright flash. Suddenly, she's a VERY LARGE black cave bear.
She claws her brother down - he's on the ground screaming. The guards have been alerted.
She barrels through everyone and runs as fast as she can and doesn't look back. She doesn't know exactly how many people she tore apart and killed - she just knows that she can't ever go back.
She runs and runs until she makes it to the overworld. When she sees the sun for the first time and feels the grass beneath her feet, something in her awakens. This is where she is supposed to be.
Life in Baulder's Gate:
When she gets to Baulder's Gate she is fucking pitiful.
She doesn't know shit about fuck, shes starving, she looks like she's been pushed off a cliff and rolled down a mountain
She's only just figured out how to wildshape and currently she can only turn into a raven and a cat
She doesn't even know how she turned into the bear to begin with
She's just walking down the street when she suddenly gets ran over by Mol and Arabella
They're running from an angry dragon born
HD just picks up the textbook that Arabella was carrying and nails him right in the head - he falls over and is out cold
Arabella and Mol just stare at her - how tf did this little thing slam a textbook THAT HARD
HD not knowing what to say just says "I'm sorry! I didn't know what to do and I just panicked!"
From then on out - Mol and Arabella show her the ropes. They get really close.
Mol shows her the ins and outs of the city
Arabella teaches her how to read and write
For years the 3 are a power team and sucessfully help the guild out with many missions
HD begins to feel confident - she uses her looks to charm people/ she'll even charm men into their bed chambers and then slit their throats before they event touch her (only if she has to and it's part of the mission)
All is well until one day - HD just snaps. The three are on a mission where they just need to snatch important documents and go.
The plan is simple - HD seduces the patrons of the party, Arabella is to keep an eye out and cast invisibility on Mol while she grabs the documents
HD looks out in the crowd and freezes. There in the corner of the room - face scarred - is her older half brother is smirking at her
She wildshapes into a bear and loses it. It takes Mol and Arabella a good 10 - 15 minutes to calm her down while everyone at the party is screaming.
Arabella casts a mist while they make their escape.
They manage to grab what they needed but Mol and Arabella are worried about HD.
HD has been able to successfully wildshape into a wolf, a panther, a cat, and a crow - but never has she been able to back into the bear again
Mol mentions an Archdruid named Halsin who could be able to help her and teach her the way of the druid in order to calm the beast
HD mentions that she has very vague memories of her mother keeping a bear in their cellar, and sometimes she would go down there, and in place of the bear was a man who would wittled small animals. She recalls him being very kind to her - she makes the connection and asks whether or not that man could have been a druid as well.
Arabella agrees that it could possibly be a druid and suggests they make the journey back to Last Light Inn
Mol agrees - after all, they could use a new adventure
Okay that's all I have for tonight <3 sorry it was super dark this time, but I would think that Halsin's daughter wouldn't have a past made of rainbows and sunshine. I think in the next one I may get more into Halsin and his relationship with her.

Hey heey heeeey. Just checking in on this blog for any potential followers or lurkers wondering why there hasn't been any posts since last year. I didn't die lol. Have one cropped, extremely HD for no other reason that I forgot to export it in lower resolution, WoW art in the meantime while I explain why I dipped.
This blog started as a means for me to get back into art. I never intended to build any sort of following, big or small, so I didn't care about numbers etc. For years I had xkit installed and because of it, I never realised that people actually looked and interacted with the stuff I did. That isn't to say that I was ignorant, I saw that some posts got more notes than others but I just never realised at what scale since my dashboard was scrubbed from any sort of interraction. So in 2021 when I saw a notification in my inbox I was kinda like "wtf who would message me" and I opened the inbox and saw a load of inquiries about my posts from various people over a long span of time. It was honestly shocking and made me feel so bad that I'd let so many asks go ignored. I was fully unaware that people had been asking, and I still don't know how that one message got through. That's how the FAQ was born. But essentially what that realization did was make me very much aware of how people interracted with the posts I made and instead of just posting whatever I felt like, I started to curate and plan ahead of what I wanted to show. On top of the anxiety of posting things I thought people would like instead of just posting wHatEVER, the rise of AI, other hobbies taking priority, less free time in general, keeping up with the blog wasn't feasible for me anymore. And honestly, since I've started to draw again because it's fun without the unresonable feeling of "gotta have a banger on the blog because if I don't I'm a bad person" hanging over me, it's hard for me to come back. I just like drawing and enjoying it without the added pressure. And I'm very much aware that this blog doesn't have ONE MILLION FOLLOWERS so in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter that I abanodend ship. But I'm still a person who have a lot of thoughts and even leaving 50 followers without saying something would feel bad. I personally hate when people just dip online because I get worried about them and keep thinking about them years after. I felt it would be good for me personally just to write something out, even if it's just for my own peace of mind.
Take care ya'll! Maybe I'll see u here again but probably not
tl;dr performance gives me anxiety, me no post no more

You make such beautiful gifs, the quality and coloring are simply wonderful.... I'm slowly getting into making gifs myself but I'm really struggling since my results come out looking muddy/low quality whenever I upload them (for example, uploading on twitter) .
And so I was wondering if you were ever up to making a tutorial on what your process is to get the results that you get.
Thank you for sharing your work with us, always a pleasure to see.
Thank you! Happy you like my gifs!
Learning to gif is a journey, and most people's first gifs don't turn out as nice as they want them to, so you're not alone. There's a lot of trial and error involved.
As for tutorials, I follow the same steps as most of the gif tutorials you'll find on tumblr. If you're not using Photoshop to make your gifs, you might want to try it. I'd recommend just finding a tutorial on how to make gifs in Photoshop on tumblr and working from that. Aside from one caveat, which I'll get to later, I don't have much to add about the gif making process that hasn't already been said.
The requirements for Twitter are a bit different than Tumblr as Twitter processes gifs differently than tumblr (and Twitter is worse). I don't make twitter gifs very frequently, so I can't give you the best advice for that. What I can say is that you'll need your gifs to be large enough for Twitter. You'll want to look up the optimal size for gifs on twitter because the last time I posted gifs to Twitter, the optimal size was larger than Tumblr. Once you figure this out, you should be able to make pretty good gifs for Twitter.
In terms of general gif making, for best results you should use HD files. This is going to be key. You want to use either 1080p or 4k, and in my experience, 4k doesn't significantly improve gifs unless you want to zoom in, in which case the extra resolution of a 4k file helps a lot. I use 1080p unless I want to zoom in.
You also want to make sure the file you download isn't overly compressed because overly compressed video is much more difficult to brighten and color. If you're looking to download an episode of a tv show, you may find a few different files. I usually go for the largest 1080p version because that will give me the best quality. The smaller 1080p files are noticeably worse quality than the larger 1080p files. They both say 1080p, but they are not the same - that smaller file size came with sacrifices. Ripping straight off a blu ray will usually give you great results, but the files can be very large.
Now on to the one thing I do differently than what you'll see in a lot of gif tutorials - I don't sharpen in Photoshop. I use Topaz Video AI. This is a resource-intensive program, and I run it on an expensive laptop which allows it to run quickly. It's not going to run well on everyone's computer, so if you're working with 1080p files, it's absolutely not necessary. I use it a lot because I like it, but sharpening in photoshop will be fine if you're gifing an HD file.
If you're working with standard definition content, Topaz Video AI makes a world of difference. If you're asking me about my gifs because you saw my Scrubs gifs, then, unfortunately, Topaz Video AI is the secret to how they're much higher quality than anything you'd make from the SD/DVD files that are available.
I do know that a lot of people have used Topaz Video AI (or a similar program) to upscale many older series, so if you're looking to gif a standard definition series, someone out there may have already done the work for you. For example, I know you can find upscaled Xena episodes pretty easily these days, which was not the case when I first started using topaz to make my gifs.
And if you can't find an HD file, you just have to make the best with what you have. Sometimes that's the only option.
Hope this is helpful!

Y2K Futurism in Hiphop and RnB
This optimism for the future had a massive effect on Black art, Black music specifically, and we saw a boom in futuristic aesthetics in music videos from the era, with directors like Hype Williams creating dazzling music videos dipped in metallics, leather, sterilized, and icy interiors, and trippy CGI, like we can see in the music video for Busta Rhymes and Janet Jackson's What's it Gonna Be?!
In "Afrofuturism, The World of Black Sci-Fi and Fantasy Culture", Ytasha L. Womack writes, “Afrofuturists sought to unearth the missing history of people of African descent and their roles in science, technology, and science fiction. They also aimed to reintegrate people of color into the discussion of cyberculture, modern science, technology, and sci-fi pop culture. With the Internet in its infancy, they hoped to facilitate equal access to progressive technologies, knowing that a widespread embrace would diminish the race-based power imbalance and hopefully color-based limitations- for good.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like the Black artists and creatives who embraced Afrofuturism in the 60s and 70s, the 2000s gave way to a new generation of Black people who saw their future up in the stars. 
Tumblr media
The Black futurists of the 60s and 70s dreamed of a return to the motherland/mothership of Africa, a liberation of their people as a collective community by mixing Afro-centrism with space imagery, pyramids up against the stars, traveling to distant planets for a new beginning, taking the global African diaspora and spreading out in the galaxy. These were star children on a path to alternate worlds away from the racialized oppression and violence Black people faced globally on earth. A quote that best captures this space-age futurism is from Octavia E. Butler, "There is nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns."
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There was a strong sense of community in this era, of collective liberation and unity
Tumblr media
In contrast to this, the future of the 2000s was one plagued by a deep feeling of loneliness.
Yes, we see the recurring theme of Black people escaping Earth on spaceships to the stars, but in this era, they aren't escaping to a community; they're escaping alone to fancy space mansions, to advanced technology like the camera we see Lisa controlling in the video.
In his Video Essay, "Remembering Y2K Afrofuturism in Music Videos, GoldFro. Dives deeper into this idea of isolation in this era of Black art.
Tumblr media
When the clock struck 12 on the first of January 23 years ago, the world had been collectively holding its breath. No one knew where the new millennium would take them, yet even in this era of uncertainty, people were able to predict that technology would be both a blessing and a curse. Techno-transcendence meant giving up physical connection for digital freedom, and Y2K Afrofuturists in their shiny metallic cages, alone in cyberspace, while they sang songs of longing to be loved and held, captured this feeling in a way I think is really beautiful.

But like, Bromantically
I will forever lose my mind over the fact a crew Q&A said Peepers and Hater have J.D. and Turk's dynamic from Scrubs, except it is unrequited with only Peepers feeling that way towards Hater. I mean, it's horrible, but hilarious, but also horrible for Peepers. And probably REALLY weird for Hater. But hilarious because Peepers kind of deserves a little karmatic suffering, as a treat, for all his evil doing. And the image of Hater letting out a scream at Peepers going all heart eyed during a casual pda is hysterical. Just. Watch this. Warning for innuendos if that isn't your thing. Scrubs - Guy Love (HD) - YouTube "We're closer than the average man and wife" "That's why our matching bracelets say CPeeps and Hatey." Peepers out here loving Hater with his entire being, screaming and crying, no labels we die "guy-loving a guy who doesn't guy-love you back" like men LOL And lmao I can honestly really see this bit with Hater and Peepers, regardless of whether Hater would ever get to a point like Peepers: --- Peepers: It's like I've married my best friend...
Hater, manly voice: But in a totally manly way!
Both, giddy voice: Let's go! It's guy love, don't compromise, The feeling of some other guy. Holding up your heart into the sky.
Hater: I'll be there to care through all the lows.
Peepers: I'll be there to share the highs.
Both: It's guy love, between two guys.
Peepers: And when I say, "I love you, sir," It's not what it implies~
Both: It's guy love, between... Two... Guys... --- This is absolutely a weirdly vivid dream Peepers has had before, absolutely more than once. Tell me I'm wrong, LOL.

Hopefully this human's dino wouldn't mind as he happily grabbed all of his attention. He would be doing it anyways while his own human wasn't available. / roark hyperfixates in real time live in 4K HD | accepting.

Ramses only looks a little disgruntled, mostly because he himself is constantly in awe at the sheer size of his brethren. Of course, Roark’s first observations were... caveman-like: one, him big, and two, him red. How Volkner managed to get his hands on an alpha shiny Rampardos may have had something to do with the association—Roark wasn’t that dumb, and if the way they had so constantly spoken to one another had proven to him, it was that any reminder was rather all-consuming. 
It made it all the more endearing, really, and Roark had been more than happy to spoil Rampardos, assuming that he wasn’t terribly distracted by their beloved rock puppy.
Tumblr media
“Ah, I’m glad you like what I bring you! Years of practice,” Roark babbles on, falling into the routine of taking care of the Cranidos line with a light scrub of a soft bristle brush. Even if this guy was an absolute unit, his arms, proportionally, were still pretty small. Even he needed help getting dusted off. Ramses settles himself by Roark’s side, and maybe he’s a little jealous, but that’s clearly because he isn’t the senior dinosaur in this arrangement anymore. Still, he’s benevolent with the alpha after having gotten used to the fact he could tower over him. Much of Roark’s living fossils had similar reactions upon seeing this particular specimen alive and well—they had never seen an abnormally large fossil in the flesh like this. “I never thought even fossils could be alpha-sized, too, which kind of sucks knowing that means the whole alpha thing died out within the last couple of centuries.”
A wistful sigh, but knowledge was knowledge, right? Gazing fondly at Rampardos, Roark sets down the brush to he can reach up and pull Rampardos’ head down by the spikes, gently and carefully bumping his head against the dino’s before letting go. “Thank you for protecting Volkner, by the way. I bet you did a pretty good job in my place, hehe.”

Ame Reviews: Obscurer Square Enix
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD
I'm not quite sure what I was expecting. I knew that the title had been intended to be attached to the Final Fantasy XIII universe (back before lackluster reviews of the main game - I get the feeling there was a very hasty scrub away of all plot references to leave Type-0 as a standalone game with only a few references hinting at it's origins, such as mentions of L'Cie and Cieth). I also knew it was originally a PSP game so I wasn't expecting the graphics to particularly wow me. I'm also pretty sure I knew that the cast were school-age, so I think I was expecting fantasy high-school hijinks and quests.
Tumblr media
I definitely wasn't expecting the first hour of the game to be a gritty warzone with minor fantasy elements movie - though given the Square Enix proclivity for starting out with a long cut scene, I should have expected that, at least. There is blood and at least two named character deaths - and they don't spare the chocobo, so if violence to animals upsets you, be warned. I didn't get a warning. It's also not a quick death. And that's the opening cutscene, just so we're absolutely clear.
Tumblr media
When the game actually allows you to play it, it's split between 'missions' - focused levels with particular objectives - and downtime - limited time between missions that you can use to trigger side plot events, restock, take lessons and train up.
The missions feel much like the missions in Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core - action-based combat on a small map with limited elements to interact with besides the enemy. Shows the PSP roots and I don't mind that - I knew going in - but if you were expecting a full PS4 game, you would be disappointed. The combat also takes a while to get used to - despite being real-time, it doesn't want you to smash buttons, more thoughtfully select your actions. Adding into that a full roster of 14 playable characters that you are encouraged to use and keep at similar levels to each other that all have different playstyles and customisation to them, there's a bit of a learning curve and if you're underleveled, you might be learning a new character at the worst possible time: when you've managed to kill all the characters you're actually good with.
Tumblr media
The downtime is where most of the interesting things really happen - character get development, world building elements get revealed and the quirky NPCs get a chance to make an appearance. I would have liked a few quality of life things - shops accessible through the menu instead of physically walking through areas to visit them (and there's at least three merchants on campus selling different things, all in different areas), sidequests/plot events having markers on the map to stop me scouring the whole school between every mission and being able to swap characters on the fly outside of missions (since some events can only be triggered by some characters and you need to visit a save point to swap between characters).
This is maybe only really one for the die-hard Final Fantasy fans, but it's got some annoyingly good bones. There's the wide cast of playable characters all with their own quirks and personalities - it kinda feels like being able to play a highschool simulator with Organisation XIII! And there's some interesting plot in there, though in recent Square Enix fashion, it's a bit obscured behind the myriad bits of required reading to understand. Also some of the actual dialogue writing feels very flimsy - with a large cast of characters to play with, it's understandable but unfortunate that some of them feel very thin.
World of Final Fantasy
My expectation for World of Final Fantasy was a cute little fluffy game aimed at kids. Babies first JRPG. Simple plot and mechanics with a cute varnish of Final Fantasy legacy characters.
Tumblr media
What I got was Pokémon meets Final Fantasy by way of Kingdom Hearts.
The combat is turn-based and features capturing and leveling and evolving (though it's called transfiguration) the normal staple Final Fantasy monsters (but now they are adorable as all hell) and stacking them up on one another (along with the protagonists Lann and Reynn). Stacking is simple to learn, difficult to master, as different creatures will add their stats, strengths and weaknesses to the stack, as well as affecting speed, stability and potential special skills. This was an amazingly refreshing way to approach turn based combat and it's actually annoying Square Enix haven't done anything similar since.
Tumblr media
In terms of Final Fantasy, I was expecting the usual crowd favourites - pretty much everyone from VII, Lightning, Squall, Tidus, Yuna...but I wasn't expecting them to pull from older titles. Bartz, Warrior of Light, Sarah and Eiko make plot appearances! Also more obscure characters get a look in, like Shelke from FFVII Dirge of Cerberus...which I was half convinced even Square Enix had forgotten about! I didn't even know where Shantoto or Sherlotta were from (FFXI and Crystal Chronicles) but their inclusion was an absolute delight and made me curious about their stories.
Tumblr media
For the Kingdom Hearts element... remember when you control Roxas in the beginning of Kingdom Hearts 2 and his Twilight Town is charming but something feels off and there's more going on than meets the eye? That's a lot of the plot in WOFF - Lann and Reynn wake up in their home town but all the people are gone. All except a mysterious woman who knows a lot more than she's telling anyone and starts the kids off on a magical adventure through Final Fantasy lands... except the plot just gets more twists from there and the kids realise they really don't know much about...anything.
Tumblr media
As for Lann and Reynn themselves: wonderful original characters, really think they nailed the sibling dynamic and they told such a powerful story about power, loss, grief, forgiveness and redemption that rekindled my hope that there is someone employed by Square Enix who knows how to present and tell a story effectively!
Tumblr media
I'd heartily recommend to anyone and I'm desperately hoping they make a sequel.

some beomgyu OLS thoughts..
ok first of all i felt CRAZY watching the clip of him leaving the new york radio show mid-interview bc moas were SCRUBBING that vid off the internet when it first happened. truly threatening ppl who were posting it. and now we have hybe including it in full HD 4k quality for all to see lskdfslfskfsl just funny that we have no idea what the company wants at any moment. and that they will exploit moments of weakness cause they know it'll get the ppl talking.
i didn't like that beomgyu's whole bit in the doc was 'im-sick-and-not-feeling-well' it sucked that this was the part of his "personality" we got to see cause beomgyu is so complex and goofy, i really wished we could've seen him in a more lighthearted light!!!!
but don't get me wrong, i am but a human being who loves drama, and yeah i was invested in his whole leaving-mid-concert, getting-out-of-the-car-to-walk and the general 'oh no is beomgyu gonna make it??' question that was floating around his parts.
did not like AT ALL that there was no conclusion?? like lmao suddenly we cut to him goofing around with them, and obv we don't need to know exactly what happened but the bullshit "moa helped me <3" is so eyeroll. but i do believe adrenaline can help a person, but i would've preferred a more serious conclusion of 'hey guys i am healthy and okay now :)"
also just in terms of dynamics.... obv we were seeing this in real time when the tour was happening but it is so crazy that for hanging out with each other during this tour, it was so very much BeomgyuSoobin and TaehyunYeonjun. (kai was floating vaguely between anyone), but those two duos in particular really shone through and it was interesting to see beomgyu go to soobin hyung and taehyun go to yeonjun hyung. does that make sense, idk.
the part where beomgyu leaves the van was wild, my friend and i were yelling at the tv "why aren't any of the other members helping him??? reassuring him??? giving him a hug???" and then beomgyu goes on his whole "i don't like when ppl make a big deal over me" spiel and we were like oh. ok. nvm. thought they were just MEN, incapable of sympathising with each other.
AND the way soobin was like 'i just acted like everything was normal, didn't do anything special to beomgyu' meanwhile beomgyu's over here like 'soobin hyung helped me out so much, i leaned on him, he took such good care of me, he made sure for the rest of the tour i was good' like...soobin...babe....you can admit you tried and made an effort to help someone you care about. it's okay.
anyways in conclusion i love mr beomgyu and his light brown (?) hair with the dark brows was such a good look i love his hair like that, and i love when he's laughing so hard and making jokes, and getting his bangs stuck in soobin's sunglasses.
