Happy Pride Month from both Octopath crews <3

These were from a series of print illustration I did for both games. Thought it would be fun to share separately! I love 8path, if it wasn't obvious

close ups below:

I am no longer of you, divas. I have discarded wood and huntys. I won my freedom yes gawd. Yet my past has been sashayed away forever. No longer can my ears hear the green word, and that's the tea.

A thing I like about the Earthsea books is how much they convey with short, evocative descriptions. Like "Whats so great about the big ancient hero Erreth-Akbe anyway? Was he even that impressive? List his deeds and feats!", and Le Guin is like "The Dragons still speak of Erreth-Akbe as if he was one of their own." and its like..

"oh."

it's brilliant how word-efficient ursula k. leguin was. her novels are not so long, but i feel like every sentence bears much more meaning then regular authors. so precise, so meticulous. i find her skill extraordinary. what a legend <3

Expecting Final Fantasy X-2 to be just like Final Fantasy X is setting it up to fail and that’s the biggest reason so many people dislike it. FFX-2 is very different from FFX because at the end of FFX, the world as everyone knew it completely changed. Many of Yevon’s dark secrets were revealed, leading to more religious freedom and the vindication of the Al Bhed, which in turn led to the formation of the machine faction and the youth league. On top of that, after Sin’s permanent defeat, summoners who were once deeply respected became defunct over night. And Spira’s people who, for a thousand years, were terrified of letting themselves be TOO happy because at any moment Sin could arrive and tear their life apart, suddenly had nothing to be afraid of anymore. In a world where they couldn’t build large cities or have any form of entertainment other than blitzball, they could finally find new ways to have fun and be genuinely happy without the thought of Sin taking it all away from them in the back of their mind. The mood of the entire world shifted. The rules changed. It’s not the same Spira anymore so it’s foolish to expect the two games to feel the same. And besides all of this, The stories of FFX-2 and X aren’t even THAT different. We’re just seeing X-2′s from the outside as a third party. It’s still about two star crossed lovers being ripped apart by their circumstances. In X-2 when we find out summoners were sent to the frontline during the war, their lives were being risked and used as nothing more than cannon fodder, just as they are during the events of X. Both Tidus and Shuyin sought to stop their summoners’ sacrifice through extreme measures. The only difference is that Tidus and Yuna weren’t murdered for their conspiracy(not for lack of trying) like Shuyin and Lenne were. That and X-2 pretty much combined Tidus and Seymour into one character. Shuyin and Seymour both wanted to destroy the world that had wronged them, the only difference was in their intentions. Seymour wanted to end Spira to save it from pain, Shuyin wanted to as an act of vengeance for what happened to him and Lenne.
