Star | any pronouns (nonbinary), aroace | multifandom | writer, occasional photographer | studied Classics and Linguistics, studying the blade (longsword is the best yay HEMA) | pfp by @fridgefanatic, header by me
[sorry I have been so slow on asks lately my motivation levels have been in the dumpsters and also my brain views time like I am an immortal]
Greetings I am Star o/ (or Forest, or Foreststar) I am just here to have fun and scream into the ether about the stuff I like. Sometimes I may go a bit without posting anything tho bc words do not always work for me
Also I like dragons, swords, stars, soundtracks, pretty much anything fantasy and nature, etc. I adore stories of any kind! I’m studying classics and linguistics so I talk a lot about that, and my favorite hobby is swinging swords at my friends (HEMA—historical european martial arts, I mainly do longsword)

Aurora! I’m excited to update her design and things as we get to learn more about her, I loved listening to Milo discuss Aurora and why she is the way she is in the rolled
I’m also really excited to see more interactions between her and jay!
Also!! I’m cooking up a gilly piece inspired by ep 128 so maybe keep an eye out on my insta @ ava.isa.palindrome
HELP I only just found out that in crisis core, beating Genesis gives you 5,000 gil, Angeal gives you 4,000, and Sephiroth gives you a grand total of FUCKING 0!!! Is this the game subtly implying that, despite everything Sephiroth did for Shinra, they never actually paid him... or am I overanalyzing again?? 🫠
While I don't think it's intentional, it does sorta add an ironic twist to things, since Sephiroth doesn't appear to be getting compensated by Shinra anytime soon. Though tbh, the reality is that the game is about to have Zack locked up for five years after Nibelheim lmao so whatever money you would have received from Seph would have been pointless. Hojo would have just taken it and kept it for himself.

More miscellaneous riptide quotes that have been floating around my notes.
Some are from the black sea arc, some are from when Gilly was dying in a boat because of the kitty cat.
Chip: You guys know you're not just the best thing that ever happens to me, but maybe like, God sometimes it feels like the only good thing that ever happened to me. Y'know, the only thing that didn't get ripped away tragically. For now.
Gillion: My favorite animal, is fish, and my favorite flavor, is salt, and now I am ready to die.
Gillion: Jay. I want you to build me a ship that looks like a bird and sail it into the maw of a leviathan and watch as I am consumed and returned to the great world of Mana.
Jay: Real winners quit.
Chip: Look I gotta make sure my crew gets back to the ship. I gotta make sure everyone's okay, all that before a tree.
Gillion: Have I still not sold you on the tree? It's clearly a super important tree.
Chip: If the tree's important to Gillion, it's important to us.
Gillion: You don't have to come, I know you guys aren't as about the tree as I am.
Chip: Not about the tree we're about you man.
Gillion: If the tree is talking to me, does that- does that mean I'm part tree?

My biggest lesson for the year is that if you feel like you always have more questions than other people or it takes you longer to figure things out it could be because you’re thinking of things that never occurred to people. You’re like “well I’m not very good at 4d chess I only know basic beginner moves” and there are people that are just playing regular 3d normal chess but a million times more confidently and successfully in complete blissful ignorance that there’s an entire other dimension of chess to be played
The irony of this is that there’s no way to figure this out without being subjected to group work with a lot of people who can only play 3d or even 2d chess. And a lot of the time that means experiencing the consequences of selling yourself short. it’s like that xkcd meme
One of the most fascinating parts of Wemmbu’s character to me is how uniquely, unexpectedly forgiving he is.
From a distance he doesn’t seem like someone you’d expect that from at all—most people (in-universe) only know him from the death and destruction he brings everywhere he goes, and the ease and apparent glee with which he does so, and write him off as your typical evil cackling madman. It’s what made Zam betray him in paranoia, what motivated Parrot to expose him as the Invisible Knight, what had Lettuce hunting him down.
And yet. No matter how he’s been hurt by them, Wemmbu always seems easily willing to give his enemies a chance to become allies. He forgives so shockingly easily, especially for what you’d expect from that kind of character. Sure, he’ll go for vengeance right after being wronged, but you have to really piss him off or force his hand even for that, otherwise he just seems to prefer running off to be left alone. My favorite example of this is his friendship with Jaden—they were at each other’s throats for so long in so many different conflicts, with Jaden even killing Rejoice which really seemed to affect Wemmbu. And then—one little fresh start, which Wemmbu himself took the initiative to create, and now they are such close friends that Jaden is readily willing to give up everything to be by Wemmbu’s side in a time of hardship. Then there’s ofc the whole Zam situation—Zam betrays Wemmbu, they rip each other to pieces until they’re both weak enough to be taken prisoner, then when locked together Wemmbu is already proposing they trust each other again to escape. He and Flame are always at each other’s throats one second and then fighting together against the world the next. Wemmbu chooses to let Lettuce live even after he threw him in prison and hunted him down like an animal across half the server. Hell even in this latest Arachnid disaster Wemmbu seemed more focused on getting out of there than taking vengeance on Arachnid before he left until recently when it’s clear Arachnid isn’t going to just give Egg up, and even then it seems to me more out of making sure Arachnid can’t try anything again than out of a need to punish him.
It’s such a delightfully unexpected trait for him to have and I love it so so much
