Okay, finally started watching Sousou no Frieren. It's real real good, you guys.

Random bits from my planning/outlining/rambling documents that I think are funny. The inside of my head is like this all the time. Not all for the same ideas, though some are pretty general headcanon.

--------

Douxie in Part One: Man, walking home alone at night is probably a bad idea. Sure hope no one with malicious intent tries to ambush me.

Douxie in Part Three: By Talos Merlin's Beard, this can't be happening

--------

Douxie: [cleaning the café bathroom in S03E04] ???

Not-Enrique: [crawling out the window] No one will ever believe you.

Douxie: ...It is getting so hard to stay out of these things.

--------

Zoe: I would fight Merlin in a parking lot if I didn't know it'd make Douxie sad.

--------

Krel: You are remarkably calm.

Douxie: Not the first time I've been illegally detained. Granted, the spaceship is new....

--------

Douxie being responsible for the “Merlin ages backwards” part of the myth? Yes.

--------

Moppet!Douxie isn't as innocent or stupid as he acts. He's a dumbass that will, with time and character growth, become a smartass.

--------

And since Angor Rot would have no interest in keeping Douxie's secrets except as a way to tweak Strickler's nerves – actually, that's an excellent reason for him to keep Douxie's secrets.

--------

Though, if Merlin doesn't know shadow magic, and Douxie can't use shadow magic, and Morgana is currently dead…. Who breaks the curse?

--------

Merlin = Daedalus? Projecting his regret at not being able to save Icarus onto Douxie, whose joy and recklessness is so similar, only to dread that in keeping Douxie away from the sun, he might have pushed him into the sea? It's more likely than you'd think.

--------

Stasis trap in the chains to explain why Angor Rot doesn't, like, starve? Does he still need food or Heartstone energy if Morgana's power is sustaining him, when she's immortal? Does wizard immortality work like that? Does Morgana being in a Heartstone affect any of this?

Hello, hello

Greetings and salutations. Let's see if I can figure this out.

The worst part about having a family history of alcoholism and being a responsible person is wanting a bad drink because its been a bad day but knowing you shouldn’t have one for the same reason.

Item: A Thought Bubble Rarity: ✦ Uncommon

Has a game ever genuinely changed how you think about something?

Feed your dashboard by answering my question, blogger.

OneShot and Doki Doki Literature Club have some interesting meta aspects that take advantage of the fact that they're games, with OneShot in particular having a puzzle that you solve with files entirely outside of the game itself. This was really neat from a mixed-media-storytelling perspective, but also from a programming one! Like, "Oh! You can do that?" sort of thing.

Item: A Set of Dice Rarity: ⏶ Common

Do you consider yourself a lucky person when playing?

Eh, not particularly? Especially when the game actually gives you the probability readout of an attack (Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Tactics, etc). Like, anything less than 85% is gonna miss. Gambling mini-games are either a complete skip for me or a "I have enough in-game money to throw at this to force the game to give me the rare loot" kind of situation. I keep the Gambler's Fallacy in mind a lot, especially with so many mobile gatcha games being out now.

Which game character felt like a genuine childhood friend?

I don't usually imprint on characters this way, but, in the spirit of things.... Malon, in Ocarina of Time. She gives you a nickname, helps you commit some crimes, and teaches you about her hobbies. What's not to like?
