꒰ྀི ✧ — Anonymous asked: I’m so salty we got told Misha wanted to join the Express and pursue Trailblazing only for them to pull a 180 on us and have him decide to ‘rest’ ( pass away ) after regaining his memories. It’s so unfair he spent time ‘growing up’ believing he could be like his grandpa and never got to reunite with Pom-Pom or anything before passing on. His visitor log saying he’s departed from the Express makes me SO sad.

I don’t like that he, Gallagher and Tingyun are playable characters that are all, as far as we know atm, dead. It feels weird being attached to them but having them not exist outside battles if that makes sense? :(

I saw this in my discord notifs and I was like ' DID I JUST ANON MYSELF ? ' But anyway.

NO FOR REAL ! I used to OBSESSIVELY visit the Astral Express hoping Misha would be there and just immediately warp out if there was literally anyone else. Granted, there are other characters I like too but you know. Misha is very special which is why he's one of the primaries on this blog. Now I barely even visit the Express.

But no I 100% agree. From a story point, it's FANTASTIC and by far, Penacony was the best arc we got so far. The story of Misha and the Watchmaker is tragic and beautiful and one of the best things I've ever seen.

HOWEVER. You are right that Misha KIND OF SORT OF had his dream of Trailblazing ripped away from him with the realization that he is the Watchmaker. You can argue that he had his chance already with his life as Mikhail which YES, I will agree. I'll also agree that death is a VERY big theme in the Penacony arc.

But I'm certain that had the devs not been dead set on offing Misha, there were ways to give Mikhail a ' second chance ' as Misha ( well, a longer second chance ). I mean, look at K/ingdom Hearts and the 100 billion variants of S/ora / X/ehanort / etc ( and I haven't even played that series since the second game on literally the P/S2 ! ). Mikhail OBVIOUSLY died with a lot of regrets. The Dreamjoy Memoir event showed us that AND there's also literally a Y/outube video called ' The Sad and Gay Life of Mikhail Char Legwork ' ( that I still need to watch myself personally ). The man definitely deserved a second chance and H/OYO FUCKING TOOK THAT FROM US MAN.

Also some rambling regarding recent leaks for future content below the read - more:

I did see some leaks however suggesting we are getting a 5-star Tingyun however which I'm personally excited for because I liked her character too.

So MAYBE.... IF WE BREATHE ENOUGH COPIUM.... WE'LL GET A FIVE STAR MIKHAIL. AND WE CAN THROW HIM IN A TEAM WITH MISHA AND GALLAGHER AND TRAILBLAZER.

Her focus remained solely on the battlefield. She HOPED Lady Bronya, Captain Gepard, and the rest of the troops were safe.

Worrying came naturally when one was a doctor, she supposed. Whether the younger girl thought it was a big deal or not, at the very least she could treat it for her. Black-tinted fingers reached out to take Pela's hand, gentle as she looked over the wound beneath her torn glove. Those gentle fingers would carefully peel the fabric away so that she could properly gauge the wound. It would be easy, really, if she dealt with it with her magic. But needing to pass for just another human was just as important as helping the girl before her.

"I won't tell Bronya if that ain't what y'want. Thankfully it ain't so bad I need t' give y'stitches or nothin'-- jus' disinfectin' it and wrappin' it up should be fine."

Shifting slightly, she'd pull out what materials she needed to take care of the girl's hand. Rummaging through the bag on her hip before she began to work carefully.

"'m glad at least that y'er okay."
