Pa & Belle- now just renamed 'Ranchers'- Matt & Ava have had their illegal rapidash removed in bdsp, as is right and proper.
so my impression of brilliant diamond is: it's a really, really faithful remake to the extent that it's not actually particularly interesting in its own right I like what they did with the underground a lot, but i'm not sure about the changes to contests, and those are the only two major changes i've run across. Everything else is just... dppt, but with fancier graphics.
which doesn't make it bad! love me dppt. but as someone who's played dppt a lot, they haven't exactly... changed anything except underground and contests
anyway this is the watchdog of the old lords from bloodborne's chalice dungeons and he is my friend Spoiler: big image
mumbles squashes melli in with ingo and emmett, prods the ship dynamic with a stick melli would be fffffurious and disgusted at the concept of twincest but melli is furious and disgusted with everything...
concept melli and ingo start dancing round things emmett arrives (somehow), neither ingo nor emmett recognise the other but they get on like a house on fire because of course melli is WILDLY jealous, attempts cold shoulder, both boys are too autistic & caught up in New Weirdly Familiar Friend to notice melli gets bored and annoyed at lack of success very quickly, storms over to pearl village to be like HELLO??? walks in on the boys doing naughty things expresses OUTRAGE at this joins in has up-close view of both boys and how weirdly similar they are and how much they unconsciously mirror each other when not thinking about how they behave melodramatically accuses them of secretly being brothers and PERVERTS and LYING TO HIM flounces out boys look at each other like well fuck it would actually make so much sense whadda hell decide to... go find arceus to get some answers melli follows them ??? happy ending???
there are three fics i have planned or mostly planned and will never write -brock/james brainwashing gen 5 anime inspired bullshittery -Let's Make All Four Notable Juniors From Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation/the Untamed Do Kissing (planned out with sparklez) -the one i just planned in the post above
aww! technically the one i planned with sparklez lives on a gdoc but idk if he's okay with me sharing it
update: he's fine with it, so if anyone reading this wants to read copypasted largely unedited chatlogs of two people bouncing Hey What If Jin Ling Was Bullied Into Kissing Three Other Juniors And Also There's Hurt/Comfort off each other until a story comes out you can find it here. The relevant characters other than jin ling are the three other notable juniors from novel/show, so lan shizui, lan jingyi, and ouyang zizhen. wwx, lwj, wen ning and jiang cheng show up also. also, like, spoilers, because this is post-canon. if you haven't read the novel or seen the show you can read it but it's not the easiest canon to get into without context
I'm not going to reblog it because I like to keep my blog largely free of more serious topics but Ali reblogged this post and i'm going to link it here so i can come back and look at it and admire it a bit because it says everything I was trying to say in the post i quoted above but in a more articulate fashion
me making caro: alright he starts off as a bit naive, less experienced in the world than he thinsk he is, but he has the potential to become a dangerous figure, amoral, laughing and charming people as he goes despite it all me playing caro: oh no he's a dork. oh no he's a huge dork. oh no he has a conscience. oh god. nerd alert
caro has more or less officially gone from suave to 'oh god things keep happening to me' he is now a vampire- shitty non vampire lord version- and not enjoying himself the funny thing is, he was created as a cute seductive twink (or as close as skyrim gets) specifically to marry balimund the blacksmith in riften. and i always imagined their meeting as balimund looking up and seeing this elegant suave lad and being like, gasp, how could someone as worldly and handsome as that ever want a rough old man like me. so naturally caro a) spawned near markarth all the way on the opposite side of the map to riften and b) developed into a loser so at this point by the time he gets to riften he's more likely to be walking past the forge covered in shit from falling in the canal and looking over his shoulder convinced the dawnguard will be after him any second ... which admittedly makes it way funnier if balimund has the exact same reaction
i am a little mean to caro he is not a sad wet rat all the time he is an extremely handsome boy with a lot of charm and a naturally good nature things just keep happening to him that turn him into a sad wet rat
