graveexcitement

about a week ago, my hollow knight obsession met the obstacle of a boss fight i'm stuck on (Traitor Lord), but! my brother finally came back to playing zero escape, so most of my game time has been watching him play. a few highlights:

"have any of y’all uncultured fucks played zero escape?” — my brother to his friends

the rest are spoilery: bro, learning Luna has a medical license: “doctor seems like a profession with a high chance of being Zero”

(he's not wrong... he also suspected Luna of being Zero for almost the entire game, up until he finally got Luna-end.)

[on seeing the old woman laid out in the infirmary for the first time] “is this... June. ... no it hasn’t been nearly long enough for her to get that old”

“what if K is one of the players from 999, with amnesia ... what if K is Junpei that’d be so weird, but it’d be great”

(oh, junpei's here alright. he's just not K. that would've been interesting tho)

dio: “A cat? What, so now Zero Sr.’s a crazy cat lady?” my brother: “no, that’s sigma”

:3c

he finished Virtue's Last Reward yesterday and has played like, the very first scene of Zero Time Dilemma, haha.

did last minute christmas shopping yesterday; found stuff for all the family members who will actually be here on christmas itself (several more will be arriving on the 28th, and i don't have their stuff yet but i'll either order it or go shopping again on thursday.)

speaking of extended family members, i'm gonna come out as trans to my grandma tomorrow and the others when they arrive later this week. because now that i'm out to my immediate family and they call me the right name most of the time, i no longer want to be closeted in my own house. so that'll be a little awkward/stressful, but it had to happen eventually. might as well be now.

also. seeing presents addressed to my new name has made me unbelievably happy. the euphoria makes up for any stress. (fingers crossed lmao)
