Had this idea of Sherry's perspective in Requiem. Also, playing RE2 may have inspired me more. I was also rushing this because work is piling up, so apologies for some weird inconsistent stuff in there.
Special thanks to @theycallmedarling and @loveiscosmicsin for proofreading this thing because my brain isn't doing a lot of English lately lol.
It’s all in the way that girl/boys shirts are made.
Girls shirts have less armpit room then boy’s do and are generally shorter so pulling it off over your head is more practical because by lifting your arms all the way up you make enough room for the sleeves to just slip off.
Boys shirts have more room and are generally longer so it is easy to slip them off over your head.
but if you take a girls shirt off like a boys shirt you will get your arms caught because there isn’t much armpit space.
and if you take a boys shirt off like a girls shit you will still have your head in it when you’ve lifted your arms all the way up because of the shirt’s length.
It has nothing to do with us. It is entirely to do with how our shirts are made. I figured it out for you. YOU’RE WELCOME!
The neatest thing I've discovered in Act 3 - you can wake up ONE of Bellbeast's babies with the needolin. Start to play it and stop quickly. One of the babies will wake up and start grumbling and playing in the bells by itself while the others stay sleeping. It's the cutest thing I've seen in a long time. Legit, Bell Beast is best pupper and her babies ARE the cutest critters <3
On consideration, maybe Bell Beast is just laying there with one eye open, watching everything. Either way, SO adorable.

*gasp* Is she... is she a silk moth?! She looks like a silk moth! So pretty! And I imagine as soft as real silk moths, too! And sad... our silk moths can't fly freely anymore. It was bred out of them... I'm so happy she *can* fly!
I'm with Hornet - I like fluffy soft things and I need more of them in my life.
... so many questions, so little answers... but at least I'm content with adorable critters of the floof persuasion.

They have some really cool reproduction and slightly changed but heavily inspired by historical finds jewelry/accessories/knives/findings but my favourite is the profane badges!!
An example of many from their site:
"Profane medieval badge with a horse riding Vulva.
Here you can buy a profane medieval badge replica as verbalization of a pilgrimage sign that shows a vulva riding on a horse.
This unique medieval badge was made after a historical model from the late Middle Ages that was found in the Netherlands and dates from 1375 to 1425 AD.
So-called obscene-erotic badges were very common during the late Middle Ages in Northern Europe, especially in Belgium and the Netherlands, and served for general amusement in the course of the carnival season.
The pilgrim's sign shows a crowned vulva riding a horse, as a verbalization of the Virgin Mary, carrying a flagellum in one hand and a crossbow in the other.
The obscene-erotic pilgrim sign is made of high-quality bronze or in genuine silver-plated and has a pin on the back to wear around the neck or to attach it to the clothing. The vulva can also be attached very well to the robe at the various openings.
The "Vulva on Horseback" measures 3.1 x 2.1 cm and thus corresponds to the size of the historical original.
The obscene-erotic pilgrimage signs of the late Middle Ages represent a subgroup of the profane medieval badges, which include, in addition to derb-erotic depictions of female sexual characteristics, especially personified genitalia such as the vulva riding on a horse, or a vulva depicted as a pilgrim or with wings, as well as numerous forms in interaction with phalli.
As an interpretation for the frequent depiction of vulva and phallus on pilgrim badges of the late Middle Ages, it seems most likely that attempts were made to defuse sexuality through comedy and that these are to be interpreted as joking gifts of love or as a means of promoting communication in the course of initiating sex, especially during the debauched carnival season."
Friends, if you're wary about online shops and want something you can pick up and touch before buying, you can find vendors of reproduction jewelry at medium sized (baronial) SCA events. I don't mean cheap sweatshop produced items that you find in a renfaire popup. I mean actual attempts at reproductions that you can inspect before purchase, and they come with an autistic infodump whether you buy them or not, just ask about the item. If in Ansteorra, I recommemend Honorable Lady Czina Angielczyka for sourcing reproductions. Her and her hubby run a leather booth but have a nice selection of jewelry and hardware to compliment that isn't listed online. If you're curious about that Armor and Castings piece, there's a fair chance she has it on hand.
Get her fired up with a question and you'll get an entire history lesson - it's fantastic.
Dear, sweet, Littlefoot, do you remember the way to the Great Valley? I guess so. But why do I have to know if you’re going to be with me? I’ll be with you. Even if you can’t see me. What do you mean I can’t see you? I can always see you.
#Children’s media used to be about making you feel the entire depth and breadth of the human emotional spectrum#All while your 7 y/o brain struggled to make sense of if all. But it was like an emotional vaccine#Comprehending loss at that age didn’t make it any easier to bear with age. But atleast it was familiar (conserving these tags by @jonairadreaming because yes)
Sometimes I feel weird as an adult because none of those Big Moments of which one made you cry most as a kid kind of things whatever ever made me sad? Like, to the level I was really confused when I was older and someone asked me about Mufasa’s death.
However, eventually watched Land Before Time again after my mother’s death, like, 5+ years after, and fucking lost it sobbing at the scene above.
Anyway also even if it doesn’t have the emotional punch for a particular kid, I think it’s great and important to have the big emotional moments and also the words like that, they’re still there and real, and they’re there in your head and heart when it hits you for real. It helps.
I lost more than half my family in the span of three years. From 25 people every holiday down to less than 10 of us... this scene as a teen when I saw it was a gut punch. It was a balm to a wounded soul that I never realized I carried. It helped, when nothing else did. Find your solace where you can, where kids can have the words for the big feelings they have inside... and let them out. It's a beautiful thing, to have the words to express one's self
GET. AI. OUT. OF. FANDOM. Stop making headcanons with it, stop making fanfic with it, stop making fanart with it. If I see one more "asking chatgpt *blank* about *character/characters in a fandom* I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. Use your own fucking brain, stop asking AI to do everything. You could even ask other real people what they think. Just. Stop. Using. AI. In. Creative. Spaces.
Recorded this because I think it's my favourite moment in the whole game. It's the culmination of the whole journey, the proof of how far this man has come, and it never fails to leave me a bit teary-eyed. Love the game to pieces.
