Fire Emblem is basically just attractive people in fancy clothing beating the crap out of each other and monsters, which is basically my entire aesthetic.
this is just Hot People Fighting: the game
Day Two: the invaders came, we know not where from. But they came swiftly, suddenly, silky hair flowing like untamed rivers, skin so radiantly perfect it shamed the sun to touch. Farms were abandoned as we fled behind the walls. The sexy siege had begun.

Welcome to Ikea. There are over ten thousand honored dead entombed within our walls, guarded by the twin horrors of the Graüntisglr and the Klaivaxx.
Welcome to Ikea. We have some tasteful new pieces in the bedroom section. Between them stalks the whispering Yrûge. Ten tasks will he give you. Ten lies will he speak. The hapless and the slow are collected into his basket of briars.
Welcome to Ikea. Should you hear the patter of tiny feet behind you in the children’s section, do not turn around. The Hïewwikkitt will mimic the sound of a child to prey upon your sympathies. It will beg you for food. Do not feed it. Do not listen to it. Do not think about it.

Bards are a fuckin' weird-ass class
you need them for extremely specific circumstances like convincing a giant to eat itself and the rest of the time they are basically just a magical asshole
the Bard needs some money to pay for his girlfriend's haircut and extends a bottle of warm, funny-smelling, sloshing liquid, offering to sell you his last healing potion
except you already saw him drink his last healing potion that morning
in the middle of your careful explanation about looking for traps, you hear a faint sound from the urn holding the ashes of the king
the Bard is there
naked
sitting on it

I love game music too darned much.
2. de Blob - "Splashback" by John Guscott



The soundtracks to both of these games are pure, peppy gold from beginning to end.
3. Dark Souls II - "Majula" by Motoi Sakuraba



Of all the great music in these games, this is the track that ended up sticking with me most.

Condemn the political persecution in Sweden!

Stand up for the gang/rape victims!

#SWE #svpol #Dystopia #polpersecutioninSweden #lastnightinsweden
Articles which investigated #jagaerhaer Kajsa Klein's lies to employers, universities, DN, using a false police report to scare people and commit a career assassination of a female Asst. Prof. These articles came out before we got the 200 pages SU/GU plot.
nyatider.nu/?s=bilyana+mar…
This persecution of an Asst. Prof. was motivated by a single honest question in a retweet due to the fact that citizen media where shut down by #jagärhär swarm-attacks: Can one teach communication at Stockholm University and at the same time silence others' views? #SWE

All stories end, even if we want them to go on forever. In fact, The War of the Ring has two literary endings...

But what comes after that last page has turned, and with tears in our eyes we put our tales away.

It's #TolkienFriday, and we're looking at what happens next.
Those two endings? In the greater scale of the story, this is the last line of The Silmarillion:

"...and an end was come for the Eldar of story and of song."

When they take ship for Valinor, it is very much the end not just of an age, but a whole history.
In The Return of the King though, the story is much more personal, and the journey ends not with the Elves, or with Frodo, but with this:

"And Rose drew him in, and set him in his chair, and put little Elanor upon his lap.

He drew a deep breath. ‘Well, I’m back,’ he said."

HOY TOCA LEER. Porque los buenos han ganado en el Pelennor pero todavía nos queda BASTANTE FAENA. Y el capítulo de hoy es interesante en cuanto a unificación de tramas y dominio del tiempo narrativo. #SdlAL5C9
Así que bloquead, enmudeced y haced unfollow a placer porque durante unas horas esta TL se va a llenar de Tolkien. #SdlAL5C9
