It is truly fascinating to go and make ocs because at first! The sillies! Then suddenly, you are struck by over two hundred pounds of crushing realization as it clicks into place what exact portion of your soul you just made into a little homunculs.

It's hilarious to me that Al Capone was an amazing tipper. I get why it took so long to catch him.

Hate it when you enjoy a game a ton up until the end, where you're so wildly underwhelmed by the ending that it retroactively rewrites the relationship you had with the game as a whole and you lose any will to play it further even if there's more stuff to do. Like oh. Hm. Ok.*Immediately uninstalls it*

I'm looking at you, Dredge.

it's such bs that the whole guilt-ridden stoic self-sacrificing martyr thing doesn't work outside of fiction. repressing all your emotions and neglecting your physical wellbeing should make you god's most tragically beautiful morally unassailable little soldier of righteousness but all it does is give you bad skin and gastrointestinal problems

Lightning Farron from Final Fantasy XIII really did change my brain chemistry when I was 14, like she really was the blue print in a lot of ways.

Also I had a huge crush on her and it was so bad I even kind of almost halfway admitted it to myself, which is REALLY saying something for me aged 14 because I wouldn't admit shit to myself even though I already knew it and had since I was at least 9.

One of my other major Square Enix character crushes in middle school was Demyx from Kingdom Hearts. Seventeen years on and like, my taste has expanded for sure. But those two still represent two of my most prominent types as far as fictional characters go:

'Mean lady who will kill you without hesitation' and 'oddly charming pathetic loser man'.

Dealing with burnout is sooooooooooooooo easy all you need to do is operate at 40% indefinitely and be kind of mad at yourself the whole time.

So the USA has some important elections coming up. Given the body count of Republicans being in control, both within and outside the USA, directly compared to when Biden was president and even when things were bad they were never this bad, can we all agree this time that the outcome of elections matter? We are going to vote practically this time, right? Even when democrats are not "inspiring"?

Because I don't know about you, but "more than seven hundred and fifty thousand dead, mostly children, due to doge cuts" inspires me quite a bit to have literally anyone else in office, and that's just one thing. Can we all agree?

While I'm at it, a reminder that you should start taking steps now to make sure you will be able to vote. Make sure you've not been purged from voter rolls, find out what new obstructions the Republicans are putting in place, etc. They are really stepping up theor voter suppression efforts, putting in some effort now to overcome that will be much more successful than doing it a week before election day.

I mostly finished the outline for the first chapter of the fic about the different incarnations of Sin in Final Fantasy X that's about Jecht et al, but I find myself getting distracted a lot by the characters that'll be the focus of the fourth chapter. The worldbuilding has been the most fun for that chapter, since it's during an era that's in an interim period after Sin appeared but before Yevon had a strangldhold on Spira, and the whole pilgrimage tradition hadn't been firmly established because no one had done it successfully.

I really should at least try to finish the outlines for all the other chapters and the rough draft of the first chapter before I get too carried away with them, but I'm becoming very fond of them very quickly.

The Watsonian answer to 'hey how come no one seems to know anything about the guardians of high summoners except for Zaon aka the guy who established the tradition plus Jecht and Auron, and anyone else who isn't within living memory seems to be a big blank' is probably 'because Yevon made a point of not recording their names or histories so people were less likely to wonder what happened to them after the pilgrimage ended'.

But I also like to think it was because the first high summoner's guardians (so Yunalesca's immediate successor) had guardians that were not considered shining beacons of what Yevon wanted to advertise. Like in my imagining even the summoner wasn't a Yevonite, much less his guardians, one of whom was an Al Bhed and the other who uh. Didn't have a habit of biting her tongue when it came to criticizing Yevon, and she lived in a time where she could get away with that openly in most places.

Neither of them even wanted to go, they just didn't want their idiot friend to commit ritual suicide. Gee that sure did turn out great for them... The Al Bhed isn't the one who became the final aeon by the way, frankly making one of the incarnations of Sin an Al Bhed feels Big Fucking Yikes to me, given how they're already partially blamed for Sin's existence.
