One for Sorrow, Two for Joy

Just a little miscellaneous blog. A fair amount of Tolkien, Dragon Age, Star Wars, musical theatre, and several other fandoms here. 18+ please. Cheers!

the Rennala fight is extremely fucking funny because like. you break into a grieving woman's room and act out the "how many kindergarteners could you take in a fight" meme, and then the opening dialogue for phase 2 implies that what you're fighting is actually a projection of Renalla at her full power conjured up by her daughter Ranni. but then you kill "her" (the projection of Renalla) and her final words are "Little Ranni... weave thy night into being..."

except they're not actually her final words because you reload and she's sitting there just fine. so what actually happened was you killed Ranni's tulpa of her mom. which means Ranni made her own mom say the equivalent of "my daughter... my favorite child who has never done anything wrong ever... you were right about everything... you're going to win at politics... and your waist is snatched..."

Everything that isn't food is a cat from the perspective of a cat. Cats can look upon the true form of eldritch monstrosities and keep their sanity. They'd just see another cat. A fucking weird-looking cat, but a cat nonetheless.

Beautiful!

Lovely example of stage kimono: big patterns, lot of gold details, and textures (embroidery faking shibori!) are pretty tell-tale. I'd love to see the inners of this kimono to see the hakkake (hem lining) pattern as this kimono (more exactly a hikizuri) would have to be worn trailing.

it was more than probably made for the kabuki dance Fuji-musume (wisteria maiden):

“Your ancestors are amazed at all your spices!”

“Your ancestors are impressed that you are an educated woman!”

“Your ancestors are proud that you are thriving in spite of what society did to them and you”

It’s all very sweet! But! Necromancy! Is! Still! Illegal! Your ancestors are going back in the ground!

Stop resurrecting them to show off!

the thing about being "good with kids" is all it takes is literally just not trying to control and mould them with every interaction. it's just being a normal person and engaging with them through normal interactions like having conversations and playing games. it's just being genuine and friendly and not perceiving them as lumps of wet clay you are there to shape. "oh you're so good with kids" thanks it's because I think they are people
