But Ohh... How I Love This Man...

shopping in an unfamiliar grocery store instead of your usual is literally a survival horror

God… they could never make me hate you veritas ratio honkai star rail

Did you know that Dr. Ratio's music theme is based on the Seikilos epitaph, the oldest surviving complete musical composition?

(Here and below from Wiki) It was left by a man called Seikilos on his wife's grave between 1st and 2nd century AD in the ancient Greek town of Tralles.

The inscription on the stele in Greek says:

I, the stone, am an image and Seikilos places me here (to be) a long-lasting monument to immortal memory.

The song itself translates to:

As long as you're alive, shine, don't be sad at all; life is short, time asks for its due

And the stele itself reminds me both of the crumbling columns he summons and the also crumbling stone slab with mysterious inscriptions we see on his splash art (I just noticed it even has the same dark veins on the marble).

SAVANACLAW ROOK HUNT!!!!

They called him the Cunt of Monte Cristo because he served. Also because of his life-consuming decades-revenge quest where he systematically destroyed the lives of everyone who had wronged him, but mostly because he served

Purple haze feedback is written so beautifully at times. My favorite scenes so far are the flashbacks, specifically buccarati learned about the drug trade. I wish there was an illustration for that as in my minds eye it is so tragically gorgeous.

I can’t 😭😭😭😭

IDIA MADE AN AMV TO EXPLAIN HIS PLAN TO YUU AND FRIENDS IU'M FUCKING DYING

HE EVEN HAS A GOD DAMN NARRATION OMFG

"Ahh~ Only good things are happening lately~ As if we're in a dream~"

"Eh. It's actually just a dream tho."

"Hello everyone trapped in this empty world of dreams."

"This is Idia Shroud."

"So today, I will explain the strategy to beat:

"I BUILT A DREAM WORLD USING CHEAT-LEVEL MAGIC AS THE MOST EVIL LAST BOSS MAGE MALLEUS DRACONIA"

"The magical domain that Malleus created is similar to a server running a huge MMORPG."

"That means everyone's dreams are ran individually. Malleus and his clones are keeping an eye on the server."

"In other words, Malleus is the server admin."

"And his clones crack down on users who commit violations like in online games."

"Malleus is the game master who has the authority to manage the entire server."

"HE REALLY IS A DEMON LORD WHO RULES THE WORLD"

"Under his control, we have no chance of winning..."

"HOWEVER..!"

"With the super geek hacker group STYX using ORTHO ATTACK, the server source code has been analyzed."

"So using this, we're building cheating tools [WARNING: DO NOT DO THIS IN ACTUAL GAMES]"

"So using these cheating tools, the administrative rights to my dream can be transferred to me."

"Then I'll lure Malleus into my dream where I can get rid of that god damned invincibility!"

I CAN'T FUCKING TAKE THIS OH MY GOD

"-- Well, it sounds like a perfect strategy but... The truth is there's just a few things about this cheating tool..."

"WHAT IF THE SERVER ADMIN FINDS OUT ABOUT THIS DURING DEVELOPMENT?"

"THEN,"

"GAME OVER."

"BUT BUT BUT--"

"The thing is, even though he's using autonomous clones to monitor each dream, it still shouldn't be easy to control the dreams of 20000 PEOPLE in Sage island."

"If problems turn up everywhere, he'll have to deal with them all!"

"Sooooo..."

"While I'm developing the cheat tool, I want you all to distract Malleus!"

"I want you all to gather party members to defeat the Demon King!"

"Once everyone's awake, I'll send out invitations to my own dream."

"Then I'll lure Malleus into my dream... THEN TURN ON THE CHEAT TOOL! As planned, Malleus' invincibility will disappear,"

"Then everyone will accept the invitation and gather into my dream!"

"THEN EVERYONE BEATS HIM UP"

"Then Malleus will have to take down his magic AND EVERYONE WILL BE FREE!"

"If you liked this 3-minute video, don't forget to leave a like!"

I'M GONNA FUCKING CRY THIS IS INSANE OMFG KASDJLKLDASLMASD

I’ll be honest, I haven’t even touched season 2 of jjk yet. I need to mentally and emotionally prepare myself. And by that I mean I don’t have enough tears. Give me another month to build them up :)

Count of Monte Cristo #1

I started reading the Count of Monte Cristo last Tuesday and I'm already 200+ pages in. IT'S SO GOOD WHY DID I NOT READ IT EARLIER!???? I was intimidated by the fact that it's 1,200+ pages long but I am now dreading the day that I would be done reading it. I'm obsessed with this book.

I kept thinking about that one sentence telling us that Edmond was secretly happy about the abbe's failure because it meant he could talk to someone now after years of loneliness. I imagine he'd have a smug expression :P spoilers? Perhaps. I'll tag.
