okay love for him aside. i feel like he's more of an Alt then an SP, which are similar but different things. (consider it the difference between Jeanne, Summer Jeanne, and Metatron Jeanne in fgo). It's a little disappointing getting an Alt(just a cute outfit) when you wanted an SP(story relevant changes) but. i do LOVE an Alt so it's not the end of the world for me i guess.

i'm really surprised by how much i like his outfit. i'll admit to dooming about it when it was leaked that it'd be summer themed. i've seen a LOT of extremely mid summer guys in gacha games... so so many are just knee length board shorts and a Hawaiian shirt with no sense of style... but this is soo cute. something about it is just elevated from that. i think its the slutty undershirt, its completely open at the side, totally just a scrap of fabric lol. the instant i saw it all in motion for his ult i was so smitten. it looks good on him and god. his model is just SO CUTE in game its crazy.

its a little embarrassing tbh but it is what it is innit.

i decided i wanted Bladie even if he doesn't end up working for Churin the second, he is my friend you know? went to 30, got Fu Xuan. Went to the 70 to get him, which is pretty neutral. Not good and not bad. Was a fairly good money save overall with the early loss. what wasnt such a good money save was.. well. I ran a run of currency war and... Miss Yao Guang is just. I felt very compelled. Was overcome with need for her. Did a cheeky 10 pull and got Yunli (the way my heart jumped thinking I got her in one lol) and after that... Well. I had to go for it eh? Ended up having to go to 80 which wasn't so great...

Well. At the end of the day whats done is done. I don't feel. Super about it. Its certainly made my elation team quite a bit smoother. I suppose I had... Perhaps unrealistic expectations. I kind of wanted to clear floor 12 but... Well that certainly didn't happen. But I'm coming to terms with that.

firstly i had... a lapse in judgment and pulled Wolfie. i didn't mean to do it I MEANT to think about it but i just!!! the gambling got me okay. went to 75, got Bladie, and then the very next 10 pull i got Wolfie :) i didn't even have to dip into my primos that was aaaalll tickets baby. i'm going to learn the wrong lesson from this lol. i haven't had a chance to take her for to much of a spin yet but she did take me from 2 to 3 stars on the 11th floor of the abyss so, she's helping i think :) i need to experiment and see if sparkle or e!mc is better for the 4th char on this team

as for the story... perhaps i should not have done the entire thing in one sitting lmao. i dont know what to say. it felt a bit short but i really enjoyed it? like we didn't have any insane revelations or anything but it took care of what was set up these last few patches quite well i think. i REALLY loved how all the characters we've met here on planarcadia came out to help with the crisis. it was sooo nice seeing all my beloveds together, i love the cast on this planet. not a single miss for me. it was really funny that we ending up taking just the guys with us up the tv tower, i couldn't help but notice we had a total sausage fest going on those final few cut scenes lol.

for specific things i liked... My little dove was sooo darling this chapter. he's so unbelievably cute i cant help but coo at him every time he's on screen. he's a member of our express crew, our family <3 i liked how to villains values reflected how he used to feel, you can really see the growth he's gone through and how his beliefs have changed so much.

i actually quite liked the dh bladie interactions. i am the worlds number one ren/heng HATER so i was a bit put out last update but... i actually... something about how the interacted this time was just. kind of sweet. you can see so much growth from them both and it was kind of lovely. turns out you CAN be friends with your ex, good job DH.

hmmm lastly. i don't know who the big bad actually is >_> like someone was pulling Fulwish's strings and is still on the loose but... they mentioned a lord ravenger by name and i do noooot know him. i'm not sure if hes a lore character or if he's mentioned more explicitly in the parts of the main quest i haven't read >_> i still haven't finished Ampho and i truly don't know if i ever will. it's just such a downer all the time lol. shit gets crazy here on planarcadia but i know it'll be ok... Ampho nothing is okay. its so jover. but i also know really important lord ravenger related stuff happens at the end so maybe i should lock in and do it >_> i haven't done the penacony interlude either because i was burn out on hsr at the time so >_>

i really liked it! a lot! i enjoyed the more lighthreated tone for the story after... all that. the thing that REALLY got me was... how referential it was. the callbacks to previous stories and events and the way most of the cast is characters i already know was so 🥺 it had was very heartwarming and cozy to keep running into people i know. this made the whole tavern segment so nice. i like the masked fools so so much (Aha is my Aeon so we're tight like that) and getting to see all the npcs i remember and lay eyes on the worlds end tavern myself was such a treat! and Cae even got accepted as a fool himself! how wonderful!!!

all the Sunny stuff had me hollering as well. he's my special perfect princess. my babygirl. just seeing him on screen has my kicking my feet and giggling and here he is, actually getting to participate in the plot :) lets pursue paradise together sweetheart!! if he leaves the express after this i'm going to [removed for violating tos]

the stelleron hunters!! i love them! Wolfie was wonderful as always. Happy to hear Bladie over the phone (the way he told wolfie to stop accepting dark web contracts under stupid names like ''the number one assassin'' was soooooo cute). when miss general was like ''you're a former stelleron hunter'' i was sooo happy. i've been a fan of sr Cae since 1.0 so the fact its really genuinely blatantly canon now makes me so delighted. thats my family 🥺 (well. my other family lol. i do love the express of course)

the new characters were great to! i obviously love miss sparx because i love spark to begin with and this is just more her. i though the more tempered and human spark from the main story was so so lovable and sweet, but also enjoyed the sick in the head sparx so its really the best of both worlds.

miss general was really intriguing. i was expecting to think nothing of her but instead i'm actually quite charmed. a skip but a stan i think.

Ash... waaoooww hes so. hes just. i cannot resist such a thing. he seems like such a moronic dumbass but you know hes hiding so much shit i've very excited for his focus patch later >_> tell me more about yourself king.
