terranigma, a cool game
#terranigma#terranigma ark#terranigma elle#terranigma meilin#art tag#im going to write a little review in the tags bear with me#first the negative:#the magic system is weird to use and basically useless apart from one boss thats almost impossible without magic#it has some weird racism like most old games where you travel around the world. a little more egregious since its supposed to be real earth#i found the main character to be slightly insufferable for about 3/4ths of the game. i came around on him by the end tho. he grows up a lot#and i found whats by far the largest section of the game (chapter 3) to be the least interesting#im not really into helping cities develop and trade quests tho so it might just be me#oh also it is STUPID easy to permanently lock yourself out of like 15 sidequests#and theres a lot of mandatory things that are really hard to figure out. you need to use a walkthrough for this#anyway thats what i didnt like#what i DID like tho. i dont want to get into too much detail but#its a genuinely beautiful game for so much of it#there were so many moments that left me speechless#its high-concept and thoughtful and fun to play#you dont really need to do much grinding either#at its worst its obtuse and cliche but at its best its breathtaking#and i really recommend more people check it out#special shoutout to my friend seona who modded my 3DS and downloaded a bunch of roms including this one#so in conclusion. terranigma is an underrated gem. play it if youre a 90s jrpg junkie like me#just have a walkthrough open also lol

man i'm on a roll tonight
DP x DC idea:
Bruce Wayne has somehow managed to become the unofficial guardian of at least two more kids. Maybe three. He's not sure yet. Various members of the Batfamily have made new friends recently and have been having them hang out at Wayne manor for extensive periods of time. Now only if he could actually meet the rascals face-to-face, maybe he could adopt them for real.
or
Danny, Elle, and Jazz have all made friends with different Wayne kids at different times from different places. Damian met Elle at school, Danny met Tim while working at a coffee shop, and Jazz met Cass outside the local theater. All three visit the manor separately, and no one communicates that they've befriended people from the same family. Eventually, however, their hangout sessions accidentally overlap and the Waynes have to deal with the excitement of three Fentons under a single roof.
Let's just say there's a reason the three of them live separately.

I've recently realized that all of the strong women I look up to for inspiration and to feel empowered go through hard things. And it might seem like a silly thing to realize but seeing them at their worst makes me feel better about not being at my best.
Barbie gives up when she comes back and then Kens have taken over Barbie Land.
Gloria from Barbie struggles with her family and explains perfectly how hard of a balancing act being a woman is.
Beth Harmon almost slept through the most important match of her career because she was hungover and on drugs.
Harley Quinn struggles with having her own identity after going through an abusive relationship.
Supergirl lost her entire planet, is over looked at her real job. She struggles with balancing both of her lives and tries to do it all.
Lena Luthor has family issues and is over looked because she is woman in male dominated fields. She also losses it (understandably) when she is betrayed by her best friend.
Wynonna Earp is plagued by horrors she can't forget and copes with drinking and pushing everyone away from her.
Elle Woods changes who she is to win over some horrible guy just so she can get married and feel like she's loved and valued the way society expects. She's also bullied by everyone at her school.
Jo March can't deal with everything changing around her. She's also a woman in the 1800s.
Lady Gaga has struggled with un measurable things and focused her energy into healing through music. I think this also applies to Taylor Swift.
Carmilla has been buried underground killed people been evil for centuries and lost the love of her life.
All of the women in the sisterhood of the traveling pants have gone through major life changing events.
What I'm trying to say is if they can have bad moments and cry and struggle to cope maybe struggling to fix my sleep schedule or taking the best care of myself consistently isn't the end of the world. I'm going to have off days and not be at the top of my game all the time and that's ok. They aren't either. The only thing that matters is that I'm trying.

Coming July 31, 2024 the retelling you didn't know you needed!
Verona has 99 problems—including a time machine.
All Benvolio has ever desired is a peaceful life alongside his spirited—albeit quarrelsome—roommate, Mercutio. But as the story goes, the course of true love never did run smooth, and when tensions between the Montagues and the Capulets reach a boiling point, Benvolio and Mercutio are dragged into the mess Romeo makes of all their lives.
Then an older version of Benvolio crashes into their lives, offering the opportunity to change fate, Mercutio does as he always does—seizes the chance. There's just one problem: no deal is without strings, and this one involves a deadly secret that Mercutio is determined to take to the grave.
What follows is a lively adventure through the ages, replete with love and heartache. Amidst the chaos, this inseparable duo will unravel the true depth of their friendship.
A riotous romp of a retelling of Romeo & Juliet. Side effects of reading may contain laughter, heartache, and a need for more. This light, sci-fi fantasy is the perfect shelf companion to The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian, Something Fabulous by Alexis Hall, and The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by KJ Charles. (add it to your Goodreads TBR!)

Here have some fluffy Jon/Damian/Elle (Super Serious Chaos? Super Serious Chaos) where Jon & Elle bully exhausted pre-vet college student Damian into taking a nap with the cruel application of cuddles on the couch:
Jon’s hand was wide and warm against his back as the Kryptonian absently swiped it along Damian’s spine. Meanwhile Elle was intent on gently dragging her nails along Damian’s scalp, fingers soft through his hair. Between the two of them, the soft couch they’d bullied him into getting when they moved into the apartment and the slant of sunlight they were currently all laying in, Damian didn’t have a chance.
He was supposed to be studying. He had an exam next week for his zoology course and it didn’t matter if he knew the information front to back, he was going to get a perfect grade. But then Jon had splayed out on their plush and over-sized couch with some documentary about scientists attempting to grow seeds discovered preserved in permafrost. And Elle had been pestering him about shrimp posture at his desk - he had perfect posture, thank you he was just making sure to get close enough to his study material, his back hurt because he had patrol last night, nothing else - so he’d allowed her to herd him over to study in the living room instead.
And it was a law of the universe that a Kryptonian wearing soft fleece Robin-themed pajamas basking in the sun was always going to be the most comfortable place for a Bat to perch. So he’d sat down beside his boyfriend - no he had not flopped, he’d simply allowed gravity to do the work for him, it was energy conservation, it was practical - and prepared to study as Elle took her own spot curled up sideways in Jon’s lap with her legs tossed over Damian’s. Sun-sleepy Kryptonian’s were an ideal landing place for ghosts with fire cores as well, obviously.
Somewhere along the line his significant others had conspired against him.
It was the only explanation for how his notes ended up tossed on the coffee table haphazardly while he laid face down across the couch in a nest of pillows with his head in Elle’s lap and Jon’s arm curling over his back, eyes drooping as he lost the battle with sleep. Titus, the traitor, had hopped up to lay against his legs, a heavy warm weight drawing him further and further down. Elle had started humming a song somewhere along the time she’d begun playing with his hair, and Jon was giving those low - near imperceptible - rumbling purrs he gave off when content as he traced patterns along Damian’s back.
This was pay back for staying out until five last night on patrol even though he had a class at seven-thirty. He’d told them he would be fine, he’d done far worse on far less sleep. Timothy routinely juggled a dozen or so projects at a time with just an hour or so of sleep ever few days and Damian was far more competent than him. That argument - for all his grumbled weak protests in the face of Jon and Elle’s unimpressed and worried expressions could be called an argument - had apparently not swayed them though. He was fairly certain Jon had texted the family group chat - Damian’s phone had been confiscated upon stumbling returning home from Gotham U on the grounds that he would end up running off to try and join in on one of the cases one of his siblings mentioned if he was allowed to keep it, again - to ban him from patrols for the rest of the week.
He’d have to get his revenge somehow. He couldn’t just let them run roughshod all over his life like that.
Maybe he could make some sù yā for dinner. Elle had picked up fresh bamboo shoots along with some other stuff on her last portal hop when she’d found herself in Guangzhou. And Jon’s grandparents had passed along some carrots and ginger from the farm that they needed to use.
Last time he’d made the dish Jon had almost cried and Elle had glowed so brightly it had looked like the sun had taken up residence in their dining room. The two had nearly set the apartment on fire fighting over the last piece. Their shrieks of despair when they realized Damian had eaten it while they were tussling had been more satisfying than every victory over every enemy he’d ever faced combined.
Yes. A fine vengeance indeed.
But…later. After he’d lulled them into a false sense of security. Let them think they had the upper hand and strike when they least expected it. It wasn’t that he was falling asleep. No. It was tactical. And had nothing at all to do with the surge of affection and warmth and security that came with having them so close, doting on him. He was tactically allowing himself to appear vulnerable. Nuzzling closer and tightening his hold on them where he’d wrapped his arms around the two was a ruse.
Jon squeezed back, tight enough to press the air out of Damian’s lungs and sooth away some of the latent anxiety over his upcoming test. Elle swiped a lock of hair that’d fallen into his eyes away, palm curling around his cheek and thumb softly stroking along his temple. On the TV scientists droned on about soil composition and growth rates of similar modern plants. Titus gave one of those low grumbling whines that meant he’d fallen asleep where he was curled up against Damian’s legs and was happily dreaming.
Damian allowed his eyes to close. Content to drift to sleep in the arms of the two menaces he loved most in the world.

the pandora hearts au as promised LOLL
im gonna guess this au makes 0 fucking sense unless u’ve read ph but u can read my 4am summary under goodluck
its the glen and child of ill omen situation between mykr, with kuros red eyes it was honestly kind of perfect. they were all part of this fancy victorian academy, and are known as the class that mysteriously disappeared some hundred years ago, and its bc of nana. maya does the succession thing and tosses clau into the abyss and everything falls apart. nana is devastated and pulls a xerxes to get an audience with the will of the abyss. she creates for her a chain, the Prince, that lets her rewind back to the day of the succession, and drag all of her classmates into a dimension where time rewinds from the start of the yr to the succession. naturally at somepoint hikaris like “where is my childhood bestie karen :(” and she goes looking for her. and before long she’s able to infriltrate into nana’s dimension. shit goes down from there
im thinking like they eventually do all get out of the dimension, but at the cost of maya staying behind. mykr have this ouughgg super dramatic like “I find you again, promise you’ll wait for me” parting while claudine is getting dragged towards the light and everythings crumbling around them and maya just looks up at her super emo and promises. they land back in the normal world a few hundred years into the future, and then its claudines Get her gf back quest

my headcanon for the hickey incident is that elle helped them out. like come on, you guys know elle wouldn't stand for this shit.
like all of them freaking out like "oh my god everyone is gonna see it" "nick what the hell" "oh no whatever shall we do" and elle just rolls her eyes and drags charlie to the bathroom
and the others just trail after them in wide-eyed wonder while elle puts some concealer on charlie's neck while elle is like "you guys are absolutely ridiculous" (affectionate)

I considered writing up a post about the actual book to show differences and my thoughts on them but I got stuck writing sentences like "the sentient unicorns taught the elves how to travel between worlds" and you know what, nevermind this is very silly

Legally Blonde time travel AU in which Warren goes back in time to undergrad and decides he is going to ride on Elle's coattails. He'll get his family to like her and pass his advantages on so that she goes further faster and he gets to be a trophy husband (he'd enjoyed modeling, but grew to dislike how distant he was from his family and the pulse of news).
So, imagine Elle, brand new sorority girl, getting a boyfriend who tells her before date 3 that he knows she can change the world and that he thinks she is a lot smarter than anyone (including herself at that point) knows. Imagine how horribly heady that would be to have someone's unwavering belief and confidence.
And Warren could get caught up in learning with her, but he's already been down the degree route. Instead, a Warren who commits himself to the idea of trophy husband. He keeps up his body, climbs to the top of their college socially, and cultivate charity interests and volunteer work. He builds a stronger relationship with his mother and figures out empathy (which isn't natural to him at all, but he can learn the steps even if he doesn't really feel them).
And Elle has no reason to not trust Warren and not love him. He was incredibly selfish before and he is still selfish, but now that selfishness includes both her and a veneer of generosity toward others. I think Warren probably lost a lot of his pride as a model too--being judged for his body and having to listen to people make fun of the future senator becoming a model instead.
Warren also remembers dumping Elle for his own ambitions, which is another reason he works so hard to be useful and a strength for her. Elle is good with social dynamics and so doesn't need him to translate for her, but he can work to get more gossip and news through broader networks than she has as he has more time to cultivate them (and that means deliberately reaching out to people who aren't in sororities or fraternities, who aren't his kind of people, but Elle can already get the Greek gossip, he needs to be able to offer her more). He can keep faith in her when she has doubts and help get her out of her head when she's overwhelmed.
Elle gets into Harvard Law again and Warren uses family connections to get a job nearby. And this is when he starts to worry and doubt because he knows Elle is about to meet the man she'd married in the previous timeline and, even though Warren had chosen to get involved with Elle again for selfish reasons, he's come to genuinely love her and is afraid he's going to lose her.
(When Elle gets hit on by her professor again, Warren offers social consequences. He has spent a lot of time building his social networks. He knows people and he can get the professor and his law firm shunned.)
(When Elle holds study group at their apartment, her friends assume Warren knows nothing, but then he surprises them by correcting something or adding an insight--he hasn't forgotten his time in law school after all. He laughs and asks who they thought Elle had studied with before them. Elle says he could have gotten into law school as well and he snaps back that he's too pretty for law school. Elle asks if she isn't pretty then and he tells her she's the exceptional exception. This old argument has turned fond between them).
Just--an Elle who sparkles with confidence in her intellect from day one and who loves Warren, but doesn't need him. And a Warren with his inferiority complex who has carved out a niche he enjoys and who loves Elle, but doesn't define himself by her anymore.
I love the original ship, but I think this would be fun, too.
