Getting into making bracelets hehe. The QOTSOAD ones are for me and my bff when we see SOAD and QOTSA in July, then I decided to make some Starset ones! So this one, then I have planned one for each of their 5 albums to match the covers :3c

Many things to discuss in this cutscene, but the thing that had me sitting upright like an alerting dog was this. Noah's lived his role as defector (which he is in reality - he joined the people who destroyed his own country), as the loyal hound of the Empire, for so many years at this point and here we see one of the reasons why.

Gramis' astute question about why he never followed Basch when he fled touches a nerve; Noah ties it up as Basch being an 'enemy of the Empire', but that first betrayal by his very twin - leaving their country, their mother behind, leaving his twin brother - that's the thing that Noah's stewed in for all those years. Honing his hatred, magnified by the death of their mother while Basch was gone. Magnified by the mistrust he likely faces from archadian citizens every day.

Gramis asks the same question Noah's likely been fighting against since he turned to the Empire. Would he follow his brother and flee to Dalmasca? This is for another post, but Gramis would know well the type of man who would kill his brother, wouldn't he!!

And from my own sickos perspective, I'm honing in on that line from Noah: 'I follow his every move'. The implications of this! How does he follow Basch's move? Has he got informant in Dalmasca who were reporting to him? I can imagine it perfectly - Gabranth sitting behind his big Judge Magister desk, receiving his latest batch of Basch Reports. Waiting til later to read them maybe, seeing insult in every mundane activity Basch is seen doing. Stoking those fires of hatred and anger and loss that have been burning in him since Basch abandoned them. Ough

Any maid with a passing resemblance will do!

I love this dramatic old queen so damn much ugh. His lovely gold armour, his ostentatious weapons, his posing for great effect to greet them. His bafflement at having lost his helmet lol

How does he keep his hair so pristine underneath that thang? Do we really care? Nope!

Anyway I don't have much of academic use to say about this for now cos I'm nearly falling asleep, but I just love him 🥰 🥰 🥰 and his big flashy spell that just doesn't work!!!

Ondore's Attendant, one of the few Rev seen in Bhujerba cutscenes when Ondore is around.

There's another one stood behind Ondore's desk and a couple other blonde ones seen in other cutscenes. They have no names, there isn't another one out in Bhujerba or any other location that I've seen, and from what I remember there's no information about them in any bestiary entry.

I wish we knew more about them, they're so cute with their big fluffy ears and sort of catlike vibes. Where do they live? Presumably from Bhujerba, but why don't we see any elsewhere like we do all the other races (even Viera)? Rude!

My favourite...... 🥰 🥰 🥰 I love the lighting on the whole Leviathan section cutscenes and Ghis looks especially gorgeous here! That shine on his armour, lovely

Also one of our first inklings that Ghis isn't exactly on Vayne's side of things, and an indicator that Vayne's schemes are so secret that even his Judge Magisters aren't aware of them. I don't want to go off on a cidvayne tangent on a post about Ghis (that's coming up lol), but I'm Thinking About It!

It must really rankle Ghis to not know what's going on. Do we know if he's aware of what happened to Zecht with the Midlight Shard? I'd assume no, but I have to cross-reference against known information about Zecht and Nabudis (unless anyone else knows!)

Some of my absolutely shocking drawphone Reece and Steves that I'm not too embarrassed to post lol. The first one is jellycat plush Reece and Steve and the second is robot Steve getting calibrated but he gets off on the wireplay (and so does Reece as can quite clearly be seen)

Unfortunately this one is worse but is somehow loved by others fkckvk in my head, this was meant to be vampire Reece making a tent from his cloak for wolf Steve, except wolf Steve came out looking somewhat like a angry possum and the tent is Reece's arse???
