My… apologies, Aloy. I seem to have gotten lost in my thoughts…
Bonus:
it doesn’t make sense that tilda’s shield got deactivated or whatever, she wasn’t there when the device went off...i think she might have turned it off before regrouping with the gaia gang just to make aloy et al think it was gone and then when she got into specter prime she turned it back on and uh..she pretended to be dead after....yeah
Singularity - Final Quest Transcript/Dialogue - Focusing on Tilda van der Meer
This is dialogue from the final quest spoken either by Tilda, or when she is present/concerning her. First, here’s the battle dialogue from the final fight, since I’m sure a lot of people haven’t heard all of it (I had to fight her like 10 times to get it all; let me know if I’m missing any).
Tilda, battle dialogue: (not including attack commands, ex: “Blast off!” lol)
I knew you didn’t truly want to hurt me.
Ask yourself why you’re holding back.
Sticks and stones against the lightning.
This Specter was designed to survive against more than that.
I can endure, you cannot.
You can only endure so much!
Don’t make me hurt you!
Surely nothing is worth this pain.
How long can you keep this up?!
How much pain are you going to take?!
There are no answers in death.
I do not wish to mourn you.
Death brings only darkness; I can take you to the stars!
Is this where you want to end your journey?
Why do you not value your life?
Is this really what you want?
Fight on, and you will lose.
I am the only way you get to live, Aloy!
I’ve seen your life, Aloy; it should not be lost.
This world will die; you don’t have to.
You’ve fought well. Now live!
This world is finished! We must leave together.
Soon we will be all that is left of the human race.
You must submit.
You cannot win.
I have you.
I will finish this!
Give it up!
Just stop!
Let us end this!
Stop! I beg you!
It didn’t have to be this way.
Aloy, battle dialogue: (not including player hints; ex: “Gotta target its gold plating!’”
That suit won’t protect you!
You’re not gonna beat me!
I’m not going with you!
You’re not taking me, Tilda!
You’re finished, Tilda!
This won’t work, Tilda!
Go down!
Keep reading
Horizon Forbidden West Meals
I keep trying to reference specific meals that show up in HFW and can't seem to find them all online in one place, so I went through and tried to transcribe all of them from the game. Hopefully this helps other folks as well!
I loved Elisabet, more than you could ever know.
was thinking maybe there was something wrong with me for not connecting with kotallo like the rest of the fandom but now i’m rewatching some red dead footage and it might just be that i prefer charles smith??? anyway....when i figure out why alva also doesn’t hit with me, i’ll let ya know
Maybe everyone has figured this out but Tilda’s inability to love Beta is ultimately the explanation as to why the og Elisabet never showed her true self to her and why their relationship never would have worked (baring the end of the world). Beta and Aloy are the two halves of a whole. Aloy represents Elisabet’s tenacity, courage, compassion, and willingness to self sacrifice for the good of the many. Some of this is also due to Rost’s upbringing as well. Beta, on the other hand, is Elisabet’s core. The one Tilda suspected she had but never showed anyone. She’s anxious, second guesses herself, emotional, scared. All the things that Elisabet must have been when faced with ensuring humanity’s survival when facing impossible odds and the end of the world. Lis knew that showing her team and the rest Of the world that she was scared, unsure, and hinging on what amounted to a hail mary would send everything crashing down. Everyone needed to see a confident leader who knew the answers and would be in charge so they didn’t have to be. Tilda chose Zenith instead of Zero Dawn, proving to Lis and herself that she didn’t inherently trust her exterior, let alone her interior. At the end of the game, tilda invites (read: forces) aloy to escape earth with her and snaps that she could have the real lis, not some “inferior copy” (referring to beta). I think this is the root of why tilda chose zenith over zero dawn. She wanted lis’s courage and hardened exterior but was unwilling and unable to love every part of her and i think lis knew it consciously or unconsciously. Im rambling now but I’m just so in love with the depth of this game and its characters and story and couldnt stop thinking about this
re-listening to the second version of in the flood but this time thinking about it being tilda’s perspective, not about aloy but about lis....
like it’s def her perspective, no? parts sound like beta, parts could technically be aloy but...i don’t know, feels very tilda to me and it makes the most sense if you view it as her fleeing the planet and not trusting in elisabet’s vision with zero dawn...and then her regretting it all after it was already too late, wishing lis had come with her or that she’d been brave enough to stay on earth
my heart has had?said? enough//i’d rather just be wrong//i listen when you talk, your words all make sense//but underneath it all, i hear where we are going with this
the end of life, dying to save a future you’ll never see, caring less about that and more about saving yourself and what already exists (lis, herself, her art), doubting the whole thing when it comes to zero dawn and enduring victory. like they totally could have failed and tilda wasn’t wrong to put her eggs in another basket.
stay with me//in the flood//in dreams i never left, i had courage like the beast//my eyes they never fled//my arms would always reach//you harden with your words//maybe fear is armor too//my voice is not that strong//when hurricanes come running from you
the little child inside, is jealous of your strength//the way you hold your head, when everything's aflame//your back is straight as you walk away//straighter than an oak in a storm//only i remain//should i have bent, and been reshaped in your image?//is that what you want?
one thousand years of regret, of playing out all the scenarios that could have happened if lis was less determined, if tilda had her courage, her determination to save earth rather than just search out another viable planet.
this isn’t the whole song but it’s early and i haven’t finished my coffee.

Breakfast time~ 。◕‿◕。
YEAAAAAAHAAA (lowkey, so as not to scare her off too bad) GAIA GANG PARTY LETS GOOOOOOO
If you kinda think about it...It'd be her first (or second!) time with actual friends and people who legitimately like her around....but also, the first/second time without someone more familiar.
cosmic love by florence and the machine but it’s tilda singing and then ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The breakfast...
Pomegranates and pears is the most lesbian of fruits.
