Joy of Life Episode 8 liveblogging

This is my first watch, so don't tell me secrets ;)

Tagging silvia watches jol so you can block

ML finally found someone other than his sister who will listen to his romantic woes, Good 4 him.

if he and second prince keep being friendly, I'm gonna call them The Forbidden Bromance

OMG AGAIN WITH THE WEDDING MISUNDERSTANDING. I CANNOT ESCAPE IT 😭😭😭 it's even tainting the second prince introduction 😭😭😭

lemme explain: the reason it grates on my nerves so much is that ML is set up to be SO practical and clever. Idiotic obvious errors of judgment like assuming the girl he met isn't Wan'er (who was clearly garbed like a noble family daughter) (and was ill, like his finacè reportedly is) (after he just saw a room full of the noble daughters of the capital & BOTH she and Wan'er coincidentally were not there!) - being confident enough that she isn't Wan'er that he'd want to break an engagement, WITHOUT FIRST GETTING PROOF.... It just doesn't fit. It annoys me because it's not a mistake ML would normally make about something so important to him. It's happening for plot reasons. Because that's what the plot wants to happen, regardless of what makes character sense. And in the typical idol costume drama, wouldn't phase me. But this one is so well crafted that it's sticking out to me, like nails on a chalkboard in the middle of a symphony

ANYWAY I think maybe The Forbbiden Bromance is on?

oh thank god he met Wan'er again so that nonsense can stop. Please just share names I beg you. PLEASE GOD I BEG YOU.

it's slowmo times again

seriously. they still......... now the writers are trying their very best to make this less stupid. Oh, they're lying to each others' faces, so it makes sense! NO. NO I REFUSE. BECAUSE WHY WOULD HE LIE. She's an unmarried proper lady, raised in the capital, in a place she shouldn't be, ok. BUT HIM. WHY WOULD HIS CHARACTER? AND THEN WHEN SHE ASKS TO LITERALLY MEET HIM. AHHHHHHHH THIS IS SUCH A DUMB CONTRIVANCE.

I hate this ship now. It's my sworn enemy. I'm declaring a blood feud.

Shameless Map Salesman back on my screen to cheer me up and steal food.

😢 the boys are fighting because they care

I mean, I totally knew his family were probably murdered but I didn't want him to know

I'm so sad about Teng Zijing that the idiotic romance misunderstanding can't even spike my blood pressure. I'm so saaaaaaad y'all

Like me, I think ML's not certain it was really Guo Baokun. It's not that he'd want to stop his friend from true revenge, but let's make u are truly getting it and don't get caught!

I'm in a happy place. Forced romantic misunderstandings can't hurt me. I am one with the universe. I go with buddha for the refuge. Forced romantic misunderstandings can't hurt me. Om Mani Padme Hum.

Sister Ruoruo is so ready for adventures! Let her adventure!

I hope Si Lili the boat girl ends up being awesome and he makes another friend

This drama likes hiding people's faces for suspense

LOL the terror on his face

Ok probably not friends; I feel you will not be friends after you drug someone or maybe that's just me. I can be sensitive.

too bad, she's definitely a badass

Just beating Guo Baokun in the street 😂

Dude idk about this. Are we really trusting the lying guy who has lied every time?

He's... not lying? It's not a horrible trap? I'm legit shocked.

This is the biggest twist of the show so far.

That drink Lying Liar keeps offering him is drugged or poison? Or maybe I need to stop pathologically distrusting this man lol

Hi hi hi hi hi!! Finally played Wayfarer after seeing your posts about it & Ephyra and it's so good omg omg!!!! And I was wondering how ep1 plays out for Effie? If that's something you wouldn't mind sharing lol

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII WELCOME TO RHESAINIA, WELCOME TO PAIN

okay, one of my favorite things about wayfarer is the massive amount of variation. there are paths through episodes 1 and 2 i still haven't seen and may never see, so i'm thankful to have friends playing their MCs wildly differently from me so we can talk about it all. please tell me how your MC's playthrough is going, anon--i'm dying to know!

for those unfamiliar with wayfarer and thinking about checking it out, let me set the scene: your MC lives in a world where magic is as intrinsic as oxygen. they, however, do not possess magic themself. more than that, they are immune to magic and can even nullify it in objects and people. taken from their home around the age of 12-14, they joined the wayfarers--an order of the magically immune--and train in swordsmanship. 18 years later, the order has been obliterated, and the MC and their childhood friend aeran are some of the few surviving wayfarers. they find themselves stuck in a backwater town, working a nearly impossible contract with only a few hours left to complete it. they're having a very bad day, they're cornered into a life-or-death situation, they desperately want to leave this place.

episode 1 is a contained event. basically a mini-game that introduces the player to all the mechanics they'll experience in the rest of the game--reads like IF, plays like an RPG. in ep1 the player balances companion and faction approvals, has skill checks, can have a combat experience or two, can buy or barter for supplies, can travel using a map feature, and makes choices that ripple outwards.

Ephyra's Ep1 Journey (spoilers to follow):

let's start with aeran. i set their relationship to very close friends with mutual crushes. i LOVE a childhood friends to lovers dynamic, especially one so fraught with hesitation on both sides. aeran's got trauma, effie's trying not to rock the boat. delicious.

now for the events. when effie runs into luthais, she follows him to the alley (showing him kindness along the way) and confronts kane. she gets a bit injured in the fight, but aeran shows up on the rooftops and they take out most of the group. effie executes kane.

effie is injured, so she goes back to their apartment to rest while aeran begins the search for the count's chalice. in the apartment, she's scrounging for a few extra coins and finds some letters, written in code and addressed to aeran. she spends time decoding them and learns he's been corresponding with someone for years, they know she's with him, and they seem to know what's going on at the spire (the former home of the wayfarers, raided 5 years prior). they implore aeran to tell ephyra "the truth" about what happened there.

ephyra tucks the letters away just in time for aeran to get back to the apartment. together they start looking for the chalice in rona.

they visit the viridian lady's villa and enter through climbing around the back. they sneak in through a window, split up, and effie questions a servant for info. they seem... too forthcoming and she notes the weirdness. when she meets back up with aeran, they run into a broomcloset to hide from some guards. it's a tight squeeze. they're eventually found by the lady's wife, hera, and hera wants the chalice for her own gain (extending the life of her rather short-lived wife). next they speak with the viridian lady herself. she gives them some information that aids their search.

afterwards, they go to the cove--rona's shopping district--and question another lead. before entering his shop, effie and aeran make a bet on if they'll break the magical wards. if she wins, he owes her a favor. she wins. this lead has less information, but effie takes a weird looking idol from him, because why not.

they visit a few shops. they have very little money so through some luck, they manage to barter for some snakeweed (poison satchets) and thunderspheres (basically grenades).

finally, they put the pieces of their investigation together and gamble on where the chalice may be. luckily they guess correctly, and ephyra's kindness towards luthias that morning is a big help in attaining it. with the chalice in their hands, they have a ticket out of rona.

but... effie wants to give it to hera. and as she and aeran are having a little spat over it, they're found by rhodarth and his company. rho is aeran's ex, it's all a bit awkward. he was sent by the count to escort them to the count's villa and make sure they don't try to run.

but in the villa, ephyra lies to the count, tells him they didn't find the chalice, and though she's generally diplomatic, she lets her snark get the best of her. the count enjoys it though, and invites her inside. he wants to keep her around. she's entertaining. he's going to kill aeran though, doesn't need him.

ephyra refuses, and a fight breaks out. rho joins them, and the count downs him quickly. effie, to protect aeran, fights him. they land blows on each other, and she loses her sword. rho manages to toss his spear to her (i love the thought of my tiny elf warrior with a big spear sdfjkhasd), and they exchange blows again. the count knocks her down this time, and stabs into her shoulder. she passes out from shock, from the pain.

during unconsciousness, she has a flashback to some of her first training with her mentor, brissa varyn.

when she comes to, a few days later, she's on a ship and well out of rona. aeran is by her side and tells her what happened: he thought the count had killed her, so he killed him in a fit of rage. they were found by malsara and zenaida who rushed them out of rona. rho got away to, but aeran's not sure where he went. aeran accepted a very dangerous job in a very dangerous city from zenaida, and they're on the way now.

they almost admit their feelings, almost kiss, but are interrupted by malsara requesting their presence in zenaida's cabin.

effie makes an excellent first impression. she's a former noble, she knows the lingo, she knows what they want to hear. she's not mad about the job. they're going to be paid well. zenaida tells her she was only looking for aeran in rona, her contact had no idea effie would be with him, but she's pleased to have two wayfarers.

ephyra, recalling aeran's secret letters, keeps this information close to her chest. she loves him, he's killed for her, but there's a wedge forming between them. they don't trust each other. if he can keep secrets, she can too.

but they head to velantis making plans for the future, both feeling very hollow about it.

#asks #anonymous #SORRY FOR THE GODDAMN DISSERTATION #how many words is this? i have fics shorter than this #i'm in love with this game and the narrative that's being set up #and i love my mc!!! ephyra is SUCH a badass but she's so soft too #anyway things get SO messy for them in episode 2 like do they even LIKE each other anymore askldjfsdk #we'll find out #anyway you guys should play wayfarer and tell me about your playthroughs

frog anon here after going silent for like a day or so (definitely not because I'm socially anxious and got scared away noooo)(I'm good now)

apologies author of the fic I recommended! makes sense you follow this blog but was not expecting that lol!

anyway, am I still sitting on a half written scarain fic? yes. but that doesn't stop me from thinking of other ideas....

for example! I'm calling this a "camp counselor" AU cause summer camp AUs imply they're the campers. no. the point is they're the counselors cause i think it's more interesting. maybe mumscarian maybe scarian who knows

the important scenes would conveniently take place when there's no campers cause I don't wanna write kids/teens or have to make up characters

bonus! camp staff usually have goofy names anyway! this works very well in my favor!

there's shenanigans and it would be hilarious. (eg. half the hermits think they're dating and theyre not actually yet)

some fun scenes maybe include: sailing (don't ask me why I'd make doc sailing director), capture the flag, hammocks, campfires, skits and songs performed at said campfires, and many more!

now as with most ideas it will probably never see the light of day! but I really like this idea and just had to share with someone! omg this is so long apologies

(its ok, im happy to see you back frog anon <33)

Bro me, literally brain ping ponging other ideas when im working on a fic for 2 weeks now LOL fuck im a sucker for mumscarian please give me those crumbs im begging

Dude camp councelor AU sounds sooo fun cuz.. we all kno what camp counselors get up to when the kids are away/inbed ;))) *gets shot*

Gosh I love this idea of an AU tho! They just get into all sorts of shenanigans. Grian push Scar off the boat or canoe. Mumbo laughing his ass off watching it happen. They all cuddle around the camp fire and Scar tells a spooky story only to scare HIMSELF somehow

#scarian #bluie gets an ask poggers #mumscarian #hinted i guess CUZ I WANT THAT
