“Anemone Nemorosa, specifically the wood anemone, yea? Whole fuckin’ forest floors of ‘em that bloom in the Spring, that you can lay in an’ smell for bells…”

⭐️ Famiel actually finds Atherton not at all scary, and says hello to him at least once a day (when Atherton’s around) and tries to strike up conversations with regularity. The most Atherton ever takes him up on it is to say that he is doing quite well, thank you, and isn’t the weather lovely today. Even when it’s not lovely. This does not deter Famiel in the slightest, and he just keeps trying.

⭐️ One time Atherton bumped into J’vanoh rather hard in the Ul’dahn marketplace and never noticed.

🌈 - You’re getting one of these compliments, anon! For being sweet enough to send compliments to other people! YOU TRIED TO AVOID A COMPLIMENT, AND YOU GOT ONE ANYWAY. IN YOUR FACE! Seriously though, it’s a very nice thing to send love to others. You are an amazing bean as well!

🌈 - Since I have limited rainbows or I’ll be here all week, Ima cheat and squeeze @smol-nevi and @imperialnuisance into one! Because they co-run an amazing D&D game that I’m in and are two of the best DMs I’ve had the pleasure of playing with in a campaign. There’s a whole original world and original gods and just… They’re amazing and talented and creative DMs on top of both being really amazing friends, even when I’ve been at my worst, and I love their faces.

🌈 - And this one will go to @uendwen who is just one of the most incredible friends. They’ve helped me lots as well, also even when I was scraping the bottom of the crazy barrel, and I will always be grateful for their help. Not to mention look how fucking amazing their art is: @uendwen-art! 

the many faces of my beautiful friends

– Fuck, Marry, Kill Prompt –

Fuck: Atherton Marry: Certo Kill: Lenneth 

The handwriting is still fairly pretty and quite nice by most standards… but is probably abhorrent by both Ilan and Atherton’s usual standards. The verdict is clear. This was a drunk letter that thankfully found the wastebin.

Atherton,

     I lied to you, you know. See, I would usually be alright with that because, whilst we are good friends (I think, yeah?), I’d lie to you about some things. Just me keeping it real. (That is a saying that I heard in a bar once. It means I am being honest with you even at the expense of your feelings.)

     But I do not want to lie to you, Atherton, so I think I should be truthful. Entirely. It is the only way our friendship shall progress to a level where awkward hugs are allowed. See, I am fine without them. I’d rather not hug at all if it is to be awkward, but you need awkward hugs before you can progress to hugs that are not awkward. It’s like basically mathematics and science and stuff.

     So, anyway. I lied on the beach with you and Madeleine and Lenneth. When we went to Costa del Sol. I said that your… your nude state was sufficient or adequate or something. And, you see, that was intentional playing down. Or something. Because, Atherton, let me tell you.

     It was really quite spectacular. Even if it was an awkward accident that I stumbled upon you naked in Lenneth’s room. That is on myself and Madeleine. We should have knocked, but, just so you know, they are both quite right. Spectacular. Impressive even. What am I even writing?

Two videos! Because, in Vindictus, the boss fight starts as the first and then changes when he POWERS UP for the last and more epic bit. (ALSO the first one is extended and all I could find, so just stop after the first repetition. You get the point.)

So, again, I don’t know who is meant to be the boss by the way the meme asks it, but Athy said they imagined it with Athy as the boss! Which works. Honestly, either way, it would work. 

I envision something epic but really sad, which these two tracks feel perfect for even if you don’t know the story of Vindictus. Regardless of why it happened, fighting Atherton isn’t something Ilan would ever want to do, and not just because of what that would do to Lenneth. Atherton is his friend, and it would kill him to do this. Which works with the music! The first part would be Ilan trying to fight not being able to at the full extent of his abilities. The second part is him realizing there’s no other choice. He has to use the fire on a friend. Again.
