I want things

[sincere]

I have been employed again for two full weeks now, and all my wonderful co-workers are there. It feels good. Also, having money feels good. I have fallen behind on everything else in my life, but this whole "balancing work and life" thing is new to me every time I end up spending six months unemployed, which is tragically frequent.

Here is a list of things I have wanted in the last 48 hours, in vaguely genre order:

• MCU Phase Three, most of it
• Hellsing
• Megami Kouhosei
• Chrono Crusade
• The World Ends With You
• SaGa Frontier
• Legend of Mana
• Planescape: Torment
• Breath of Fire (III & IV)
• Suikoden V
• Kingdom Hearts
• Xenogears
• Patricia C. Wrede's Dealing With Dragons series
• Anthony Piers' Incarnations of Immortality series
• David Eddings' The Elenium and the Tamuli series

Instead of any of that, I will continue writing fics for fic_promptly's contest week as long as my inspiration holds out (not much longer, but I have 17 fics written so far this week, many of them full-length 1000+ words, which is crazy) and then return to Final Fantasy X like a good girl who finishes things.

But in the meantime, I've been ficcing and am haunted by TWEWY questions, like... how did Shiki die? What happens to Mr. H? And how does resurrection work -- we've seen people in the RG mourning their friends who died, and then they just come back? Do they actually have a zombie moment or does it get made so that they never died as far as anyone else knows? I need more stuff.

Ooh, Suikoden V. If Lymsleia isn't the best child character ever, I don't know who is.

I remember really liking Lymsleia and Miakis! I only got a few hours into Suikoden V and when I can I intend to start playing it again. There's just a long list of games to play...

Both characters get even better as the game goes on, trust me.

For what it's worth, I hope employment sticks this time! And also that you get TWEWY answers.

[sincere]

Thank you!! The latter is unlikely since the game has been out for 7 years and despite occasional sequel noises there's nothing concrete in the works, so by this point it's just me sitting here all by myself obsessing about a game that is incredibly important to me.
