I always just assume something I watch or play is probably mainstream successful for me to have stumbled onto it, so I'm always surprised when I find out something isn't.
cactus and/or chamomile (asking for a friend...) 👀
Hi! Thank you 🦞
cactus ⇢ something you’re currently learning (about)?
Been learning a lot about autism lately. That's been interesting and eye opening.
I'm also trying to get back to learning hindi (been saying that for years but I really mean it! I only need to print the book I'm using cause pdfs suck! ksdjfhgkfdg)
Other than that cooking a little bit. I made chicken curry the other weekend and today I made flan... That's been yummy but a bit tedious (I don't like cooking, I do like eating tho lol)
chamomile ⇢ what kind of things do you like receiving as gifts?
Oh shush you(r friend) kdjfhgdgf I honestly don't know, just the idea that someone thought of me to give me a gift is compliment enough :') I get very awkward when people gift me stuff, I don't like people wasting money on me kdjfhgkdfg Which is funny cause if I was a millionaire, nobody would have to spend their own money ever again, let me get that for you! dfjkhkdfg but alas, I'm poor lol

super super cool how alm and celica are both strong-willed characters but in opposite directions
so from like act 1 and 2. alm has an incredibly strong sense of duty even before joining the deliverance. it's clear that he knows he is a capable warrior to the point it may come off as delusion of grandeur (to be fair he made it very difficult to train units bcuz he kept critting everything to death) and as a result has a strong sense of guilt related to what he sees his duty to be.
he believes that he as a warrior is required to use his might for the greater good even before stepping foot out of ram. it's one of the reasons he's so eager to leave to begin with. why should he spend his days tending sheep when he has learned battle and zofia needs all the warriors it can get?
his sense of duty only intensifies when clive pronounces him leader of the deliverance. at first he's hesitant because he's a warrior and not a tactician, but once it's clear that role still falls to clive he steps up immediatly. in his act 2 reunion with celica we already see that alm considers what he must do as a leader above any desire he or celica may have.
he's also much more pragmatic than celica. whereas at first he can come off as a hothead because he charges into battle, he is not a person to believe in miracles. instead, he believes he must wage war because mila will not suddenly turn up and save them. the people must save themselves.
celica may seem the more calm and collected one on a moment-to-moment basis, but she is much more idealistic. she believes miracles can fix things. and i think most importantly she wants someone else to fix everything.
by going to mila she is hoping that a goddess will make everything right for her and that she won't have to be the princess to do it. whereas alm embraces duty to an unhealthy degree, celica abhors it. after all, it is her status as a princess that almost got her killed, that killed her brother, that tore her away from alm. it is quite understandable that she doesn't want to be the responsible one.
and that hatred for this duty, for having to fullfill it, she ends up projecting on alm which drives the conflict between them in their reunion. for celica, alm shouldn't have to be leader either, blood be damned, because she knows how horrible the life of royalty is. in the ideal world she wishes for, she never would've left ram at all. mila has to fix everything. nobody should have to die when mila can save them. nobody should have to take up arms.
it's a very interesting conflict bcuz it's not how these characters appear on the surface. alm tends to wear his emotions on his sleeve and celica tends to put up more of a facade, so you don't expect alm to be the pragmatist and celica to be the idealist.
of course these initial characterizations get subverted in increasingly fun ways as alm gets an identity crisis and way too many personal conflicts and celica ends up utterly consumned by the duty to stop duma after mila can't, but hey, that's good writing, babey. nobody can get what they want and everybody gets their worldview challenged.
Howdy folks, and welcome to a sort of hub for my Not So Berry Legacy (by @lilsimsie and @alwaysimming). Lovingly converted by hand by me, including the extended edition of Not So Berry by illusorythrall on blogspot.
As everything is being fine tuned, I’ll be updating this hub with the information on the challenges, alongside information on my own playthrough of the game.
One word of warning, though, is that unfortunately most spares of the human variety will be unable to be shared. This is due to a few mods that add new traits, new hidden traits, and new skills and that makes me hesitant to share them. However, all pet spares will be free to download at the end of each generation.
