Depression is up today unfortunately. Trying to take it easy. Being unable to focus is so frustrating.

The little imprint on Halsin's right arm above his other belt - likely just a model texture slip, or a little detail to suggest he was wearing two belts on the right as well at one point because they're perfectly straight and equal distance apart, varying levels of visible depending on the shot, like a pressure imprint mark. But he notably doesn't have a matching mark when he removes the belt on his other arm:
In that thread of musing, it looks a bit like a scar - older and more healed - so I'm going to HC it as one.
#BG3 Musing#Halsin#Halsin Posting#you know what can leave uniform looking scars like that?#something something 'i was chained in their bedchamber for nigh on three years'#i already hc he's got one on his wrist and another on his collar so not very far fetched#either that or he has a heart condition since that mark doesn't go away#edema i think is what that suggests iirc#listen if everyone else is allowed to scrutinize every detail of their fav so am i#i thought maybe that it had something to do with the chest straps on his og armour#pressing into the flesh but it doesn't line up - the strap is too high unless he's jack knife-ing his arm against his side until it angles#this armour would fit that explanation

I love the rhyming on ttpd. can only think of two examples currently but I know there’s more.
#the dancing phantoms on the terrace do they get second hand embarrassed#is e v e r y t h I n g#but also I can’t stop thinking about:#you. look. like. taylor swift. in this light—we’re lovin’ it#like just the flow. the cadence. not even just the rhyme but#her ease with language and playfulness with it and all the little pockets and corners of so many songs#even ones you think you don’t like. settle in with time!#like the thing about taylor is that she is VERY much a poet#in that some of her genius/way with words is innate#and the images and stuff she uses the turns of phrase can feel so garish and embarrassing on first listen#they JAR#but honestly I think it’s because she is truly …. new? she is doing something NEW#and the shock and outrage that always goes with new things is always present with a Taylor album#and I think she’s drawing on so much from the past to write but she is so deeply rooted in the present cultural moment#so it’s so easy to dismiss her writing on first glance as like. idk a college girl’s idea of poetry#as being too Stark or Melodramatic.#she loves OBVIOUS imagery and extremely dramatic ones too#but she isn’t actually just throwing stuff at the wall#because pretty much always. it starts to land and soften and settle#and the image she’s chosen has done its job of drawing you into a world#and/or communicating an emotion#and sometimes it’s so upsetting. like. get me out of the bedroom with Matty Healy taylor!!!!!!!!!! but. the art is art-ing!#I guess is what I’m saying. she’s good at this it isn’t just hype#but some of it really is that she’s taking us places we might not want to go or are so quick to pass judgment on#as being unworthy of a song or more importantly a poem. but present art HAS to do that#and does do it!!!!!! idk I am just. musing

I think one of the most interesting storytelling decisions in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is that the Ing have no lore files. The Luminoth have a ton of info on them but you really know nothing about the Ing at all besides their being universally hostile, apparently intelligent, and only what the creature scans and Luminoth's point of view of them tells you.
It's actually kind of a weird absence. It's obviously intentional; a way to make the Ing seem too alien and hostile to truly be in any way sympathetic or relatable (as opposed to the Space Pirates whose lores paint them as a mixture of amoral/unfettered by ethics, hilariously incompetent, pathetic, and unlucky, and downright diabolical).
Even Dark Samus, who also leans hard into the light/dark dichotomy that the game themes itself around, has more depth and revealed motivations than the Ing through its/her actions thanks to the Space Pirate lores and the secret ending of the first Metroid Prime.
Of course, Dark Samus is also a subversion of that theme as well, but that's a different rant.
With the Ing, it's simply... they exist, they are intelligent, and they hate everything the light world stands for. Why? There is no known motivation. The game's narrative and the Luminoth lead us to believe Dark Aether is entirely unnatural, an anomaly that sprung into existence when the Phazon meteor struck it.
Exploring Dark Aether does seem to lend itself to that conclusion. The Ing do not seem to build, outside of the immense ingworms and the containers made of smaller, weaker ing. They do not seem to have clear domiciles, simply existing around Dark Aether. They have a hierarchy, and the Ing Hive is said to be their home, but the Ing Hive is also just a very literal Dark reflection of Sanctuary Fortress; architecturally identical to its Light counterpart in most ways, despite the obvious artificial nature of it. The same applies to Lower Torvus!
Any construction that exists in the Dark world and not the Light World is generally something the Luminoth built there during the war, or that the Ing stole.
Any construction that exists in the Light world and not the Dark world is something built after the Luminoth made their last stand: the Space Pirate base in Agon, the desperate attempts of the Galactic Federation troops to secure a site before they were overrun.
But while the Ing do not build or care for their own, they’re not unintelligent. Their greatest asset in the war was not their ability to overrun their enemies with numeric advantages (which they had and used), but their ability to adapt to and appropriate every weapon the Luminoth used against them.
Without that, without strategy and cunning, the Ing would not have been able to turn the tides of the war in their favor; the Luminoth's technical advantage was TOO big; the Luminoth weapons Samus utilizes in Echoes make that obvious, with the Light and Dark Beams offering firepower far in excess of standard Chozo faire and the Annihilator Beam's interaction with the Luminoth's crystals and beacons making it the ultimate weapon against the Ing. The Dark Suit? A near perfect defense against the hostile Dark Aether's atmosphere.
And yet the Ing could possess the Luminoth, the creatures of Light Aether, the defenses the Luminoth made to protect themselves...
The Ing's greatest asset is theft, to the point that even their world is stolen. A copy, all the structures they call home simply copy-pasted into existence by a bizarre cosmic incident and not things they built themselves.
I suppose these weird aliens stand out in the Metroid series by being one of the most alien things Samus encounters, outside of Phazon itself- and them being a unique creation of Phazon lends itself to that bizarre, eldritch nature of the substance as a living thing.
...but God damn do I wish we got to see their perspective.

#{ sorrysorrysorrysorry }#{ sldkjfdlksjfksf i've been ignoring it as long as i can but the ocd is ocd-ing }#{ i'll move the side blogs later but yeah it's getting to the point where it's affecting the muse i have for this page }#✧ ‧₊˚ ⋅ ☆ 🤍 ‧₊˚ ⋅ so when my thoughts take off may i breathe deep ⌗ ooc .

I think sometimes you just have to let the weight drag you down so you can try to surface again later

"It's strange. A lot of the time you don't register the important moments in your life as they happen. You only see that they were important when you look back."

Healing
In more ways than one.
My tendonitis is slowly healing. I've been doing like the doctor told me and icing it, as well as using a compression glove. Since Black Friday had a lot of sales in the health department, I took advantage of that to get a wrist brace and some arch support wraps. My feet have been terrible my entire life, and I kind of want to know why. I'm also going to get my eyes examined for multiple things, mostly my distance vision issues and the visual snow (aka static BS I see all the time). Thankfully, I will be getting an X-ray and eye examination next month.
I think my heart is healing after losing my beloved frog. Taking care of his tadpole and "wife" has helped in the grieving process.
I've been trying to sketch and doodle so I don't lose my edge while my arm heals. It's been getting better.
Overall, I think things are looking up.
