Since The Game Said Raphael Smells Like Roses And Cherries ( And Sulphur, But Im Assuming That's Just

Since the game said Raphael smells like roses and cherries ( and Sulphur, but im assuming that's just hell scent), I came up with some ideas on what the party could smell like cuz im weird.

Shadowheart: orchids and lime (lime is canon too)

Lae’zel: metal and almonds (which is apparently what space smells like)

Wyll: wood smoke and pine/fir

Halsin: honeysuckle and tobacco

Gale: parchment and tea (according to Tim Downie (gale himself), its sandalwood and woodsmoke)

Astarion: red wine and wintergreen (some soft mint) and an undertone of blood (Apparently its canon bergamot, brandy, and rosemary, thanks for letting me know (: )

Karlach: smores and honey (just warmth and chocolate)

Jaheira: Magnolia and rain

Minsc: oud and musk

Minthara: earth and coffee

Mizora: jasmine and sandalwood

I finally finished Rebirth yesterday and I have so many thoughts most are good but there is one big negative one.

I'll start with the bad. That ending. I was not happy with the ending, yes I'm upset we won't play with Aerith in the third game (I'll call it Reunion for ease) but more that it was such a cop out. She's both alive and dead?! Bruh... just pick a side. Instead of being elated or heartbroken I literally sat there saying "Huh??? Wait so is she dead or not??" It had no impact to me and I was frustrated instead of whatever emotion they wanted us to feel. I'm not even excited to play Reunion, I will to complete the story and see how they go with the world's uniting again thing Zack said but im not optimistic.

Now onto the good! Everything else was flawless, I loved the characterization throught the game. The banter, the growth, the fact that they are actually friends, and you see it! The combat was amazing, I loved seeing the synergy abilities and combos, it had me playing characters I never would to see the moves. I'm not sure how popular it is but I really liked the relationship system (I got red for my date funny enough lol I was really trying to not get aerith or tifa). The world also seems so alive, seeing the various cities and the destruction that Shinra brought but also the good they can do. The 7th infantry being a highlight for Shinra for me (my boys 😭😭😭) and the Turks oh how I love to hate them, they made them so much more evil in this than in the 1997 game where they were just kinda goofy failures (imo, it has been a while). Sephiroth brings out such a rage in me and I love it, I feel so inspired to bring him down.

Anyway it's a fantastic game 9/10 except for that ending.

Another headcanon post but this time for jobs the party would have in different situations. (It'll make sense in a minute)

Lae’zel (if the gith were nonmilitaristic/ she was literally any other race): a florist/gardener. In game she loves to point out the beauty and majesty of nature (then say something bad cuz girly is the worst at expressing herself) not to say she wouldn't still like fighting but I think had she even able to grow from a child without that stict culture she'd be softer

Gale: a professor. Had he not gotten the orb/ gotten involved with mystra. He's just so passionate about magic and teaching that he'd be perfect as an instructor for both children and adults.

Shadowheart: a rancher. Had Shar not been a dick and kidnapped her. I see her and her parents opening a ranch where they could raise animals and care for abandoned ones. She in canon loves animals and in her good ending wants to live away with tons.

Wyll: as I said in a previous post, a writer/adventurer. Homie is a poet at heart and could spread such positive messages had he not gotten involved with Mizora or the cult of tiamat's shenanigans.

Karlach: tavern owner. Had she not met gortash. I don't remember where I saw it but swear I've seen post that say she in canon wanted to open a pub, but I think it fits her personality well. She so open and personable that she'd be great at it.

Astarion: a politician/duke. Had he not been turned or captured by cazador. I can really see him rising the ranks of politics (either for good or not) he's just so charismatic and suave that you can't not love him. He said he was a magistrate before he was bitten too (but who knows if that's true, I think it is tho)

Halsin: a woodworker/ craftsman. Had he not become a druid and the shadow cursed not happened. I can see him just living in the woods near Reithwin whittling away chatting with Thaniel and nurturing the animals with the money he makes helping the town.

Minthara: Drow Matron. Had the cult not gotten her. She is the one I see changing the least. She's so confident in who she is and her ideals, she'd easily claw her way to the top of Menzoberranzan culture.

Found this little girl in the middle of a rainstorm, I can't keep her but I'm fostering her till she can find a nice home!

Edit: my friends and I have been calling her BB (big boss)

So im watching Supergirl (because I wanted to see if supercorp was an exagration or not; its def not) and like ok im enjoying the show but Jesus how are the characters so smart but so dumb. Especially Lena, girly figured out Rhea by "Thank the gods" and that Alex is DEO but she can't get past a pair of glasses and a ponytail??? For real??? Like ok I get it's a plot thing but come on, it just makes no sense, especially when cult man figured it out. Also Kara has some pretty insane double standards ie. I can have secrets but you can't (so glad she got called out for that btw)

I am only on s3 ep 18 so maybe it changes (or gets worse)

Ya know I really love how ambiguous Rebirth is in terms of shipping, like I ship Aerith and Tifa and throught the game I was like "dang this kinda fruity, cant wait for the fanfics/art" I also saw more than plenty for the Aerith/Cloud, Tifa/Cloud, heck even some Yuffie/Cloud (of the one sided pining variety). Picking Barret or Red in the play is just gold, they get all cute and blushy. All the interactions are so good that it fits just about any ship you could want. Can't forget to mention all the buff dudes gripping Clouds tiny feminine waist like the slut he is (joking). I just love the interactions in this game so much
