I like the rdr2 epilogue, and I'm tired of pretending I don't. (I literally have never pretended. I have always made my love clear.) Is John's model questionable? Mhm. Does he look a bit too much like Arthur? Yep. Could R* have put a bit more work into it? For sure. Do I still love it, tho? Very much so. The family moments between John, Abigail, and Jack? His friendship with Sadie, Charles, and Uncle? The whispers of Arthur and Dutch in everything John is/does? R* actually showing John's struggle to leave the outlaw life behind and be there for his family instead of just pretending he became a perfect family man overnight, (like a lot of other games would have done)? John's adorably sweet and emo journal entries? It all makes up for it for me. I love the epilogue.

Hello there folks!
A major publisher in my country just published (finally!) the translation for Black Powder War this January 2024, and I wanna show you the Indonesian cover for Temeraire series so far!
I don't think the dragons are accurate and I have no idea who the fuck is that man in book 1, but I think there are very pretty, especially the gold colorings.
I also wanna explain some funny translation things, which may contain spoiler, so beware.
His Majesty's Dragon
Who the fuck are you??
So that guy clearly is not Will Laurence. And the funny thing is, the meaning of the title "Naga Sang Kaisar" is more closer to "Emperor's Dragon" than "His Majesty's Dragon"
I mean they can perfectly chose Raja (King) to translate "His Majesty", but they chose Kaisar (Emperor) instead. Maybe it is a winkwink spoilery thing to sneakily hint who the actual intended resipient for Celestial egg is.
In that case—is that Napoleon then???
Anyway, I just know that, because of this cover, the new reader in my country will always pictured Laurence with dark hair until in the book six or something when they'll be like, wait, he is bLOND??
Throne of Jade
Black Powder War
So did you see anything wrong with these two?
I LOVE the art and the color scheme, it's perfect and all, but, I think ... they get switched??
The ship and the water in book 3 cover should be for book 2. And the building in book 2 cover is resembling Istanbul's palace more than China's. Don't you think?
There is not even a ship in the book 3 other than Allegiance in the chapter one, right?
The sun shining in book 2 cover potrayed desert pretty clearly, right?
Right?
Am I going crazy?
Regardless how bonker it is, I still love 'em! And i hope you love 'em too!

“We need to get them out of here!” Hero staggered back from where their friend lay unconscious. A pool of red had begun to leak from beneath their shirt. They didn’t have much time.
And yet, the Villain was laughing. It cut through the air and left their shoulders shaking as if this all was a grand joke.
Blame it on hysterics, shock even. The world was moving too fast for Hero to care. They struggled to lift their friend from the concrete, but the sound only grew louder. Now a cackle, it was too much to bear.
“Can’t you help me?” They exclaimed with eyes wide. Their friend fell from their arms, tumbling in hopeless form.
Villain fell silent and turned as their lips twisted into a disappointed frown. “And why would I want to do that?”
“I-”
“You what? Spit it out, their life clearly depends on it,” Villain stepped between them, sparing not so much as a glance to where their friend still remained. “Save them if you wish! Heck, save this whole world, just like you always do!”
“What are you saying?” The Hero’s voice was level, though their hands were shaking. They reached towards their friend, but Villain slapped their hand away. “They’ll die, we need to help them!”
Villain tsked, “Do we? I always thought they were quite weak.” They delivered a kick to the friend's ribs, pushing Hero away when they tried to rush forward. “And really, who would ever miss them?”

Playing with this mod is fun, but dev's clearly didn't model his hair with blood splatter in mind. Looks even more like anime hair now.
