Tales of Graces f: DAY SIXTEEN

[sincere]

Do you know what time it is?!

Yeah, that's right

I reread my liveblogs

and I dug up this stupid game from a year ago

and I am going to finish the adult era if it's the last thing I do



Starting from: Who the hell knows? Er... After going to Fodra, before heading to Lastalia. This is supposed to be Sidequest Tiem.

SKIT!

Cheria: The Emeraude in those visions was very different than the one we knew.
Sophie: The one we knew was probably a humanoid robot that she transferred her consciousness into.
Cheria: Oh. Well, she was so determined to protect her planet, and committed to her cause! Not like what we originally thought of her at all!

Me: ...what?

Sophie: Well, her methods were still... kind of wrong, even if her intentions were good.
Cheria: I guess so. I'm just surprised she had such conviction when it came to protecting her planet!

Me: But why
Me: Did I not write down the part where you all originally thought she was a lazy creep who's spent the last few decades eating Cheetos in her mom's basement?
Me: When did we ever think she was a wishy-washy character who had no convictions
Me: Do you mean back when you all thought she was like, a pure-hearted butterfly who could never do anything wrong, while she repeatedly screamed about how Lambda was a monster who had destroyed the planet and had to be put down? I kind of thought she had conviction to protect her planet then, too.

But, hey, let's admire Emeraude, I guess. At least she didn't do it because she was obsessed over a man! :D

"But, hey, let's admire Emeraude, I guess. At least she didn't do it because she was obsessed over a man! :D"

You don't know that.

I kind of think she hated Lamda because Cornell paid too much attention to him.

[sincere]

I do remember having that impression originally. :\ But I'm less convinced now that she's just an evil cackling monster all the time at no provocation. Why does she need an excuse to hate Lambda??

[rainfall]

Because everyone needs men to be the center of their lives, regardless of whether or not they serve any purpose!

[rainfall]

Also: what?!?!?!

because more of those were needed

because this skit made my eyes roll back into my goddamned head.

I still think "was very different than the one we knew" is a weird thing to say about the wheelchair, if that's what we're talking about, and assuming that she did it to protect her planet (rather than so that she would be able to walk, or so that she would be immortal for her own purposes) is just really grasping at straws so as to pull admirable traits for Emeraude from thin air.
