30 Days of FE, Day 23 + quick tumblr rant
So I finally caved in and made a tumblr account. Because what's the point in saving thousands of fan arts if you're never going to use it/show it to anybody, right? So, uh, suffice it to say it'll be mostly an art spam + fangirling tumblr. (LJ is still where I'm going to be posting unnecessarily long essays about video games though!)
And now I just need to work up the courage to follow a bunch of people. Mm, shouldn't be too hard, I hope - it's not quite as scary as LJ-friending. But I've already mentioned this before. tumblr is more impersonal than LJ, true. This has its pros and cons. I guess the biggest difference is that delurking on tumblr doesn't seem anywhere near as scary as on LJ, for whatever reason. It's pretty weird. I don't know. I'll just answer this meme question for now
Day 23: Something Epic
Nino: I thought for so long that you were my true mother...
Sonia: Ha ha ha! Your mother and father looked so much like you. They were so naive it made me want to vomit. I dressed in rags and entered their house with a child in my arms. They were sincerely concerned. Ha ha... Trusting a stranger is so utterly foolish. Oh, they came to regret their trust, but it was too late.
Nino: Aaahhh!!! You're no perfect being! You're a monster in human form! No mercy! No forgiveness!!!
(Nino standing up to Sonia like that? Yes, I'd consider it epic.)
Caellach: By the way... I know all about you, Joshua. Who you really are I mean. The prince of Jehanna, huh? When did you plan on sharing the wealth, you sneaky dog?
Joshua: Listen... You can't reduce a nation to loot waiting to be divided. And more importantly, I made a vow to my mother. I'm going to succeed her as ruler of my homeland. Hey Caellach... You're the one who killed my mother, aren't you?
Caellach: Yeah... Sorry 'bout that. Things happen, you know? C'mon, Joshua, don't hate me. This is war. There's nothing you can do about it. Besides, grudges get in the way of work, right?
Joshua: That's true. It's as you say. Listen Caellach... I've got to kill you now. Don't hold it against me.
Lyon: Tell me, Ephraim: do I look like I've grown stronger? The last time we dueled, I was too weak to test you. Why, I was so weak, I even lost to Eirika...
Ephraim: ......
Lyon: I've sacrificed the lives of many good people. I've committed many unforgivable sins. The caring heart I once possessed died long ago... And I've grown stronger because of it. I've grown strong enough to defeat even you, Ephraim.
Ephraim: ...No, you haven't. You're still no match for me. You were never one for combat. It's not in you. You should never have chosen this path.
Lyon: ......
Ephraim: ...... Here I come, Lyon.
Ashera: You expect me to reverse my judgment? The goddess of order cannot be so... mercurial. My decision is final.
Ike: So that's how it's going to be, huh? Then we will fight...and we will save our people. Make your peace with whatever the gods worship. Your end is near.
Ashera: My end is near?
Ike: In every battle that mattered in my life, I've always been the one left standing, no matter how slim my chances. This battle means more than any of the others, because it's for the life of every person that I've ever cared about. I will win this fight.
(These are all boss quotes. Well, except for the last one.
I guess boss quotes = epic and badass? Because honestly, they tend to be.)
