arranged marriage jing yuan.....

#nat.txt #the thoughts are PERCOLATING #he is a General and he doesnt neccesarily have time for frivolous pursuits like love #but . . . it's also expected of him. especially when he resigns. #that he have someone pretty with him to take to functions when retired on his arm and to fill his days #but he doesn't have the time to pursue love so an arranged marriage seems a perfect option #and there you are. so sweet and wide-eyed and eager to please and unable to believe your luck. #so . . . gentle. so unspoiled by the horrors of war and the heat of battle. #but when he plays a game of starchess with you to get to know you #you have a ruthless single-mindedness. #you almost catch him. #he's smitten #if he is the lion you can be his lamb; and if you are instead a lion in the guise of the lamb? he will enjoy that too. #hsr posting

do you ever write out a post and then remember the reading comprehension on this site is abysmal and you can practically feel the potential shitty comments and think "actually no this isn't worth it"

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #vent post #there are these posts about accessibility and tone tags and the way people use trigger warnings on discord and stuff like that #and one of them is like ''the way people spoiler triggers on discord is wrong and doesn't actually help and you shouldn't do it like that'' #and it's been like. the exact form of warning that worked for us when the ''correct'' way wouldn't have actually helped at all #I haven't seen the posts in a while but I've seen some of them multiple times before and they always piss me off #and I just fucking want people to realise that people have different access needs #yes that format of warning or tone tag or whatever might not work for you but your experiences aren't universal #and it'd be shitty for me to say that formatting it in a way that works for you is wrong just because it doesn't work for me #but that fucking goes both ways #but I just know if I actually posted the very carefully worded post I typed up about it someone would take it in the worst possible faith #''don't spoiler the word in the warning and don't only spoiler that word and none of the rest of the text'' #what if the word itself is the fucking trigger. what if I need you to leave the rest of the text unspoilered so I can figure out what it is #without actually having to see the word because I can back out and avoid a panic attack as long as I don't see the word itself #this isn't even a hypothetical this is something we had to deal with last year #and discord servers with that specific format were the only places we could guarantee we'd be able to avoid being triggered by it

How did you find Tales of Symphonia?

I didn't have time to make anything for the 20th anniversary, so I thought I'd share how I found the game.

In my teens, I'd seen ToS on the shelves of my local Blockbuster and nearly rented it so many times. I would pick it up, and gaze longingly at the box art, but never get it because I knew I'd never be able to finish it from renting it, and I didn't have the money to buy it.

Seven years later, I found out on the internet that Kratos was Lloyd's father (probably through fanart on DeviantArt or something) and I, being in love with "long-lost Dad" trope, decided that I needed to play this game. Immediately.

Problem was, they didn't make it anymore, so it wasn't sold in stores. Where would I find an old GameCube game in 2011? I grabbed my little brother and dragged him with me all around town. We went to three different GameStops, but none of them had it.

Realizing that I would have to find it on the internet, and wait, I almost gave into despair. When, suddenly, inspiration struck.

I was very much speeding on my way back to the very same Blockbuster I'd gone to with my brother and my dad so many times growing up.

There it was. For sale. No cover, and with a weird Blockbuster case. But there it was. I'd found it. The very same copy I'd coveted as a child.

#the rest is history? #tales of symphonia #anyone else have a fun story to share? #I always wonder what I would've thought if I'd rented the game and played it unspoiled #Disc 2 was always wonky #you had to pray that it would work

[stuck-in-ardentia]

so I just finished rhythm of war (SCREEEEEEEAMMMMMMM), but I haven't read the epilogue because my friend E is coming on Saturday and wants to see me read it in person....

they want to see me read it in person...

WHAT THE HELL IS IN THIS EPILOGUE???????

#step number one get scared #also rhythm was so good #this also means i can't unspoiler tag some stuff #cosmere #brandon sanderson #rhythm of war #rhythm of war spoilers #slay #scream #stormlight archives #shallan #adolin #jasnah #wit #kaladin #navani #dalinar #well at least i can buy the etsy stickers now #E thoughts

Every time someone says something nice about my writing I have to stop myself from going feral.

#if I didn’t I would unload so so much about my thought process and symbolism and what I’m setting up #I would have no friends or unspoiled stories lol #nightingale speaks

More FFXVI stuff from my ongoing playthough (next major plot point down):

4/5 mothercrystals down

And the world is not happy about it

But mostly because Bhunivelze 2.0 I mean...Ultima fucked the world

(The continued meld of XIII trilogy/XIV/FMA storywise amuses me)

I am genuinely surprised that both Joshua and Dion made it out of the story section alive...ish

Dion is a good boy :( but, like his step brothers, he has not been having a good time.

Evil mother continued to be just as great at parenting all the way to the end

Even when 2/3 of her sons/stepsons were trying to give her a chance of getting out of there alive (as...reluctant as Clive also looked)

Personally I was on Team Jill: hold a sword to her throat for disrespecting Clive

Eikon Fusion Morphing Time was interesting

I would be mad about them changing the battle mechanics MID BATTLE but they went 'and this move works like Phoenix Shift' and I was like 'OMG THANK YOU, MY MOST ABUSED MOVE'

Did not die to Bahamut. I am...almost getting good.

I am starting to feel like this is probably the time to maybe grind a little. I've been doing all the side quests as they've come up (except a couple hunts) but I feel like I could probably take some time to comb over some areas and fight some stuff on the way.

The fights are fine but the waves of groups with a tough enemy in the middle can get a bit dicey. Because I'm not good at focusing on multiple enemies

(I tend to use Flames of Rebirth to get rid of all the weaker enemies so I can focus tbh)

About to head to kanker (sp) and (I assume) get my ship

I've just realised...where is the water Eikon?

Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind, Earth, Light, Dark...water should be the 8th but it hasn't been mentioned in story??? And, I don't think Clive has room for it on his Eikon wheel???

But they've talked about 8 Eikons for 8 elements

They have also mentioned unaspected but that was mentioned as a secret 9th thing

Am I missing something??? Brain???

Anyway, I went to bed before hopping across to Kanver and I was happy to see that my team in the save was Clive, Torgal, Jill and Joshua

I thought I would never see it! Even though Joshua has been listed in the 'main protaganist' section of the relationship chart since it turned up

Also random moments:

Otto remembering Cid genuinely made me cry

Not a overexagerated 'I'm crying'

Actual real tears

Jill 'ahem'ing Isabelle for flirting with Clive was hilarious

Like...'in front of her salad'

Clive's awkward acting in Dalimil being just as awkward as in his presentation to his uncle

10/10 best boy

I love the continued theme of Uncle Byron being the most embarrassing member of the family but also a) genuinely on your side b) actually useful and competent c) clearly adored regardless

I can't wait to see him cry when Joshua turns up

Oh oh oh...I also love that this game isn't afraid to have all their badass characters cry

Yes...more healthy expressions of emotions, please

Even the 'grumpy old sod' got to cry

Oh, and I haven't said it in this post yet so TORGAL IS THE BEST BOY...WHO'S A GOOD BOY! YOU ARE!!!!

The sidequest 'something is wrong with the pupper' came up and it was like 'THIS IS NOW THE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY...DROP EVERYTHING ELSE...MAIN QUEST IS ON HOLD'

Turned out he was just unsatisfied with his treats

But he deserves the best

#ffxvi #spoilers #i continue to be unspoiled and it is so hard #i want to see other people's thoughts and impressions but this is the first time I've made it this far into a game blind #and i intend to stay that way because uncovering things has been delightful

I didn’t go grocery shopping for like a month and a half, and then I bought a bunch of fresh fruit at the store the other day and I'm eating it and it's so good it's making me want to write poetry about it. taking bites out of a squishy ripe nectarine like an apple. dripping juices down my arm. I have been a fool for so long with nothing but canned peaches. I ate a pluot yesterday and I don’t like plums and I don’t like apricots but their weird hybrid fruit child is gummy and sweet and good. I don’t know what point I’m trying to make here but I’m chewing the last stringy bits off of a nectarine pit and, I dunno, some things in the world are okay actually

#I am sober I swear #just high on the many wonders of life that have allowed this #a perfect untouched unspoiled fruit safely tucked in my fridge #to pull out on a gritty smoky not very good day #gotta wax a little poetic about that. how can you not #anyway I figure the weird wistful yearning webbed site is the exact place to share this thought

[figureofdismay]

I’ve been a casual Morse viewer since probably around 2006, and eventually got the boxed set and watched the whole thing in order probably in 2009, around when I got more and into Inspector Lewis, and definitely started reading Lewis/Hathaway fic by the time S5 of Lewis ran in 2011. I watched the Endeavour movie when it aired in 2012 and followed it onto the series when it started in 2013, and have been shipping Morse/Thursday from the episode Fugue onward at the very latest. So uh. I’m not facing up to the ending very well. This is the longest I’ve ever been invested in what was an active canon in some capacity for the entire time of my investment up to right now this year. 17 years later.

Morseverse is like my Supernatural except 2013 tumblr never cared about shaun evans for some reason. It’s coming at the back of a really tough six months and I’m just kind of. discretely devastated, and inevitably will be no matter how neatly or poetically the ending comes.

#fun fact back in 2009ish i watch classic morse up to the end #completely unspoiled #i went into remorseful day with 0 idea what was coming bc I thought morse died off screen btwn shows like val had #and that there was a longer time gap between the end of classic canon and lewis canon #so I watched morse die on screen with no forewarning and then went into genuine mourning for the next 2 months #maybe i should have just stopped watching then tbh but here we are #and i'll essentially have to do it again

intro + bio

En | 20 | they/them | SE Asian

just here to post my mlb related thoughts, typically criticizing the show. please be civil and considerate if you choose to interact

anything unrelated to mlb is tagged as #not mlb (feel free to mute if you don't want to see it, I won't take offense)

Ask box is always open; feel free to ask me anything even if unrelated to mlb. I don't answer all the asks but don't be offended it's usually because I can't really come up with a reply.

My opinion on charas for quick access

there is a dni criteria (in one sentence: I do not tolerate bigotry.) for this acc, but I enforce it myself. If you find yourself blocked, do not take it personally. Respect me establishing my boundaries.

That's all the main stuff out of the way; enjoy your stay!

#xtra stuff in here #i like a slew of other medias and im likely to talk abt them in relation to mlb. i do tag my spoilers to leave ppl unspoiled #im scatterbrained and tend to go off on long tangents. if my ramblings seem incoherent yeah thats why #i dont go out of my way to search for ppl to argue against; this acc solely exists for me to dump my thoughts and go on with my life #will add more if i think of smth

[constellation-circe]

XIAO LORE XIAO LORE XIAO LORE XIAO—

#I just watched the Version 2.7 trailer #this was the only thought in my head #I paused the video halfway through so I would be completely unspoiled #it’s 100% worth speedrunning chasm for this

[hauntiingg]

i find it funny how in middle school i was eating up pokemon leaks like it was a buffet vs now where i just avoid any leaks possible

#genshin is the only exception #and even then i avoid story leaks #i wonder if it's an age thing #because i remember when i was 10 and got into warriors i proceeded to search up the wiki after finishing the first series #and then the next day i was like guys did you know firestar dies in the last book of the fourth arc #but nowadays i just try to avoid spoilers in general #while on a splatoon discord someone was asking people if they wanted to see final boss leaks #said person was like 13 #idk just some thoughts #usually when i see spoilers i'm like ok #because it often isn't the full picture #i still prefer an unspoiled experience though #it's more fun that way

[ghosty-schnibibit]

so i finally got my hands on a copy of thirteen storeys and hhhhh i haven't felt such a burning desire to take notes and make a red string theory board since my first time listening to tma

#which tracks considering but STILL #i'm only midway through chapter seven so no spoilers please #and i'm foaming at the mouth bc i've gotten deep enough to start seeing the patterns of recurring characters and deeper spookiness #but not enough to know exactly where it's all heading and i'm waiting on that mag 111 moment that ties it all together #and i'm left occasionally screaming 'THAT'S HOW IT FITS!!!' and getting very excited at having made even one connection #after this i cannot fucking wait for jonny's next book i am pacing my bedroom levels of enjoying this one #this is the good thing about having a shit memory i'm sure plenty of people i follow were posting about this in 2020 #but i've managed to no thoughts head empty my way into an unspoiled reading experience two years late lmao

All Co-Habitation Evidence *TotK Spoilers*

I'm going to hide all of this behind a read-more if you would like to remain unspoiled on everything like npc interactions, towns, quests, etc. Which I do have to talk about when it comes to this topic. Now, without further ado:

The bed in the house is the exact same as BotW, and unlike other beds in the world, you can freely sleep in it. If we open up both botw and totk, the bed is the exact same one from botw. Meaning that at the absolute minimum, Zelda has been sleeping in Link's bed. However, if you go up to the bed, Link can still sleep in it. There are very few beds that are free in this game, and the only other beds you can sleep in is obviously communal beds, such as those at lookout landing for those who are sick, injured, etc. You cannot normally sleep in another person's bed.

2. Link's hair-tie, Zelda's diary and the Champion's photo.

If you have completed The Champion's Ballad DLC, and correctly transferred your save, then the photo will still be there. But more importantly, the house has a new addition. Behind the house is "Zelda's secret well" that functions as her new study. In that well, you will find one of the volumes of her diary, hot-footed frogs splashing around, and Link's hair-tie in the corner of the room. Link never took that hair-tie off in botw (only when wearing the ancient helm), so it's a bit suspicious that it's down here of all places.

Not only this, but if you read the volumes of her diary, both the one in the well and on the desk near the bed, there are a couple of things that stick out:

Firstly, Zelda had Bolson build the well because she needed somewhere to focus alone. If she was living by herself, this makes no sense (and, in japanese, rather than "my house" it's simply "the house" here).

Secondly, Zelda states that Link is always by her side. To the point his clothes have become worn. So as a gift she made him a new tunic (and she "can't wait to see the look on his face" when he gets it, just saying).

and third, she had to hide said gift in the castle, otherwise he would find it in the house.

3. The School and Symin

During the time-skip, Zelda founded a new school in Hateno, where she became a teacher. Due to this, a child who misses her visits the house at around 12-2pm and calls it "Ms Zelda's house".

However, if you talk to Symin, he has this to say:

So, clearly, this is not Link's first time here (which should be obvious, how exactly did Zelda get to Hateno and the house in the first place after botw's ending? Link brought her there). He even asks Link why he came back to the village alone without Zelda. Additionally, if you go upstairs and read the "School Notes" it says this:

It talks about the opening expedition under the castle happening soon, and reiterates Link being by Zelda's side. Interestingly, in that opening sequence Zelda says she is glad she didn't leave the Purah Pad behind. Meaning she's glad she didn't leave it at home.

But wait, there's more

There is a side-quest at the school where Link becomes a teacher / substitute teacher. When you finish the quest, one of the children says this:

They say they already thought of Link as a teacher figure even before this quest. To add onto this, there is another child who wants to become a hero and is "always on the lookout for baddies".

4. Manny

Manny is an interesting case. At first, like some other npcs, he seems to have been entirely memory-wiped to be approachable for brand-new players who didn't play botw, but then he has the following to say:

So, first of all, he doesn't call the house "Zelda's house" and instead calls it "the house the princess was staying at"

Secondly, he asks Link to "keep the naive, new-in-town act" to a minimum.

Third, Manny has another dialogue, he wants to "check every well" in town to find frogs for Ivee (because, similar to his quest with Prima in botw, he thinks that's what she likes). But after he says this, he seems to realize he should not have said that in front of Link, saying "Uh oh, no coming back from that one" in the smaller text as though he knows Zelda's well is off-limits. Combined with him calling the house "the house the princess was staying at" he seems to know something.

5. Two Place settings, etc

The house has two places set, two towels, etc. And just in general a lot of things for supposedly one person. There is also a bigger kitchen, and let's be honest with ourselves here, who is more about cooking and actually good at it, Zelda or Link?

Under the stairs in totk

VS botw:

Now, for this next section, I have to talk about things regarding another town in the game, a quest and a mechanic many have not unlocked yet. Continue to read at your own peril (I would hide it under another read more if I could)

The Tarrey Town House

During TotK, after we wake up and leave the sky islands, we can complete a quest to unlock the ability to build a brand-new "Dream Home" in Akkala, close to Tarrey Town.

The quest involves baby-sitting Hudson and Rhondson's child, Mattison, who, if you'll recall, did not exist yet in botw. In totk, she is starting to gain independence and appears to be around 5 or 6 years old:

I doubt Link was sleeping rough for several years (and Zelda would never be okay with that). Anyway, Link babysits her, goes up into a hot-air balloon with the family, and then has to watch a tear-jerking scene between Mattison and her parents as she has come of the age young gerudo girls have to go to Gerudo Town and stay there until they get older and are ready to venture the world.

It is only after completing this quest, a quest completely about parenthood, that you are offered the "Dream Home" by Rhondson.

Additionally, an npc at the nearby stable has this to say:

So, the in-universe implications of the dream home is that it is a family home, something you only buy when you plan to marry someone or start a family.

Adding onto this, the dining table in the dream home has four seats instead of two. But there's also an interesting comparison to make with the Hateno house. The Hateno house had two seats and two places set, this house has four seats, but is clearly only being used by one person:

In other words, Link is living by himself in a house meant for a family. Which is depressing to think about, but in the context of the game makes sense.

But there's something else. In the new house pieces (including a study you cannot use yourself), all the photos on the wall are of Hateno Village:

Why would Link hang photos of Hateno in his new home, if it was not important or nostalgic to him? (and, as a minor detail, the same yellow flower is in both houses, presumably Link's favorite flower)

In conclusion, it's clear from all the evidence that not only were they living together in Hateno, but the brand-new house actually has it's own implications behind it (and further proves that Hateno was and is important to Link).

Oh, and there is also one last thing, in the japanese version of the game, but I can't mention it here because it is an even bigger spoiler than all of this combined. It'll be an addition to this post later
