+ etraya oh wait december tag plurk!
OKAY, Ethlyn tags now taken care of... DOING TAGS GETS THEM DONE
also did my AC check-ins for both characters :|b
Ethlyn > Silco SILCO.
Ethlyn > Zekarion SPECIALTY EQUIPMENT....
apomorphine Ethlyn's just going to straight-up go to the Last Drop with a doctor's bag, if that's okay!
she definitely can. he thinks it will heal on its own. after all, no bacteria can survive in a body made of 80% rage and 20% whiskey
ethlyn is going to advance a new theory of drug resistant bacteria where instead of adapting to penicillin they adapt to Rage Against Society
it is true. culture that nastiness and give it a fun name
I am sorry if he gives her a hard time. he just wanted a poultice.... now she's going to actually doctor him
LOL she's straight up told people "don't be a cranky stoic I've worked on battlefields" before
A crabapple doctor-resisting patient is nostalgia :}b
lolol bless her. he's had to get a doctor for his facial injuries and did not enjoy it, so he likely avoids treatments cause his doctor is fine with brutal and unethical human experimentation
adkflj... don't worry Silco Ethlyn hasn't heard of an IRB but she doesn't do unethical things like that. STRICTLY HIPPOCRATIC if the hippocratic oath was a thing away from Earth
Monty Python (Sarcasm)
myrrh really does use that many ellipses in canon she could give Squall a run for his money
I know 'zoons' is not canonical FFX but it's Sunday morning I can throw in a lil non-canonical nonblasphemy
Him: I'm death
Visas:
Visas:
I should do a catch-all for Visas this month 
you wouldn't know it but she is enjoying herself IMMENSELY
she will happily argue with grumpy patients until the cows come home
Ethlyn > Silco new tack: "if I was bad at this my crew would have mutinied against me"
i love that they are trying different tactics against each other to see what will work
YES... it's a fun sort of sparring :>
verbal sparring is the only sparring he's good at
Ethlyn > Silco "sir what is your DEAL"
okay TIME TO HIT UP FOLKS on expi's TDM 
Ethyn > Silco BECAUSE WE'RE IN A DWRP GAME SILCO
posolutely officially you and your writeups are now designated "the whims of a bizarre theatremaster"
OH MY GOD LMFAO
puts it on my resume
bold it, italicize, underline, LET NO ONE MISS IT
Paine > Riz paine interacting with kids :|b
(the only actual kid we really see her talk to is Shinra and she just talks to him like he's a short adult -- Yuna kinda handles most of the stuff with the Kinderguardians and all)
"say something nice"
"idk I don't have nice things to talk about"
"idk I don't have nice things to talk about"
I feel like she's gonna get along well with the POI lads LOL
sarcasm + skepticism: a winning formula
Ethlyn > Toph "you need to throw hands with Confucius"
This conversation is fun because I feel like it's approaching "be yourself" which is NOT NOTABLY A MEDIEVAL VALUE
"disregard your family's opinion and do it for your own self-actualization" just isn't a Thing
but also Fantasy Northern Europe does have a lot in common w/r/t certain values as Fantasy China
Expressed differently and with different foundations, but you're never not a part of your family, you don't move out to make your way in the world, you either continue your family line in the same place (if male) or join a different family (if female) and produce new family members to continue The Line (for both)
and anything you do reflects not just on you but on Your Family in an inextricable way
So the modern idea that you should be yourself, do as your heart dictates, live your truth, to a person from either (fantasy) culture is like. "BUT HOW DOES THAT BENEFIT MY PATRIMONY."
Ethlyn > Zekarius this oen got buried rip BUT ANYWAY SHE'S EXCITED ABOUT MAYBE GETTING AN XRAY
An unexpected delight in playing Visas is how much she is going "???" in pretty much any conversation about normal everyday shit
SHE IS EQUIPPED FOR PHILOSOPHICAL QUESTIONS AND INTERPLANETARY STAKES ONLY...
Visas > Aloy yeahhh WRPG ladies
Visas going "wow uhh that's a lot BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME... unlessyouwanttwo"
she lives with the two diametric poles of droids on her ship :'D
Friendly Utility Droid, Sarcastic Assassin Droid
hashtag justkotorthings
Visas > Root JUSTKOTORTHINGS
fellas is it gay to devote your entire life to one person after knowing them for sixty whole minutes because they looked into your eyes and you saw in them the pain that has torn your soul asunder
(said LITERALLY EVERY PARTY MEMBER IN KOTOR II)
Paine > Vincent saying edgelordy things, as a treat
she's been precipitated to another planet without permission she figures she's allowed
YES I'm so glad we're on the same page about this, I was literally thinking about this while I wrote your tag back and I hadn't even seen this yet haha
it does approach "be yourself" but it is absolutely not a common value in their cultural contexts, and the idea that Toph is a reflection on her family no matter what she does really applies here
also yes Paine will get along with them, sarcasm & skepticism is their natural mode
Yeeees, and even if what Toph does will objectively bring renown to the Beifongs, the fact that they forbid her from doing that will always come before everything... because she's not doing it for them, she's doing it for her... the unfiliality of it all.........
LMAO EXACTLY
so unfilial
a good child would have asked her parents' permission before ending the hundred-year war 
she did and they said no and then she DID IT ANYWAY gasp horror
I feel like Ethlyn gets to appreciate how much Toph is breaking gender roles here, too
in a way she deliberately doesn't point out to anyone else so it doesn't get to explicitly come up much
Yeees... Ethlyn can sense the Gender around it too
She does a good job of putting on the Proper Daughter / Sister / Wife clothing but she can tell when someone is chafing in theirs
Julie > the Custodian correct link this time
yeah if Toph was male you know this storyline would've gone differently lol
their reaction would have been SO different
And they would have treated him differently prior to the "secret underground wrestler earthfighter" reveal too
Agreed completely
Ethlyn > Silco VICTORY (she gets to handle a gross oozing bite wound)
Ethlyn getting her doctor on only to find out the cure is a warm hug
god IF ONLY IT WERE ALL THAT EASY
VINCENT, RATHER
Okay since I am visiting my parents for Christmas I am going to try and get all my outstanding tags done before airport!
Visas > Root "have you read the book The End of Everything by Katie mack"
Visas > Echo AWKWARD PALS??
Ethlyn > Silco doctor mode!!
I hope I got this right 
but I am constitutionally incapable of looking up. certain procedures and treatments. NOT GOOD WITH PICTURES THAT HAVE LOTS OF BLOOD

Ethlyn > Kurama does she actually secretly like snapdragon. shhh.
chirality PASSING ON HER LESSONS

"idk I find it hard too. BUT I KNOW ABOUT BOBA"
"idk I find it hard too. BUT I KNOW ABOUT BOBA"
