I was so floored by how good the Herta sections of 3.7 were. Every time she's on screen she's a delight. (Also same re: Aventurine, the lines he gives him in particular about remembering that the Stonehearts are the ones who've been there for the Express got my ass so good.)

get fucked

Time to step on all the twisters.

Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge came out in 2004 and unfortunately I still blare the full album 4 - 5 times a year. (And I also do this with Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, so you are correct)

okay but also i guess madam herta IS a precious gem. that ascension match was rough lmao

Love Delita and Ovelia. I feel like the remake also adds some small things that make their relationship even better.

Was always also fond of the idea of Delita being extremely pressed and tetchy about Ramza's weird new friend Mustadio.

I can't find the scent notes for Hythlodaeus but I bet it's just "genuinely the best thing you've ever smelled, plus a buzz ball."

guy with a prometheus azem and a wol viktor chiming in to say please do read it, whether or not you watch the GDT version first. the book is so good, reading it as a teenager felt like it turned lights on in my brain, & idt any film adaptation has manage to hit all Shelley was trying to say.

it's always felt weird that the game in ARR/HW not only leaned so hard into that much heavy stuff, but SO much of it was almost played for laughs or just like... absolutely not commented on or addressed later. staring directly at Sastasha with unfaltering eye contact.

The fact that we've already hit all but 2 of the things he listed takes so much weight out of his words. Then my personal issue with the speech is the fact that every place he mentioned involved cleaning up an Ascian/Ancient mess for him/them, which made me begrudge a lot of it, personally.

God. This is so real. I finished 3.7 the other day and spent a while after in a doldrum because I wanted to babble at them about how good it was.

i've had my suspicions that the role quests in particular had a touch of LLM editing or machine translation. there's just some dialogue in there that's baffling.

YEAH Dahlia is BIG on my list lmao she seems like she'll play well with Feixiao who I wish I could use more but can't keep up with the current meta at the moment.

OH I just had a thought. I can't remember if you consider Acheron a Must Pull when she comes back around again, but if you do, Cipher is great to pair with her.

It's SO nice when an account starts feeling comfy lmao. I feel like I was always scraping stuff together there for a while, but having characters to build around/teams to develop makes leveling characters/traces/lcs much less of a scramble.
