    I swear this project is cursed. When I tried to render the first half of the animation, blender would crash every 10 frames. it's almost like there was an invisible force not wanting me to change Haurchefant's fate or something. The second half, however, was rendered without a single problem. I have never faced so many technical problems on a single project and I'm glad it's finally done.

    I'll be real, with how Haurchefant was forced onto us as characters it 1 made me instantly be like "okay this guys going to die" and 2 due to how fast it all happened and because it didn't feel very organic, it really didn't feel like that big of a deal. Oh look a guy we met a few weeks ago died, so sad anyway. Honestly I wasn't even a big fan of Papalymo but his death got me real sad. Much more of a build up but I will admit I started in Gridiana so that probably helped.

    The closest the camera is from a character's eye, the more empathy it generates This is why when we want the public not to be too invested we have the victim die from afar, while when we want them to empathize we zoom on the eye like this.

    Naw. I love G’raha to death but Hauchefant came through and believed in you when you were a literal fugitive. He stopped at nothing to make sure you could become the famed hero you had yet to be. Without him, your story wouldn’t have grown to the point where people made a whole time travel project for Raha to save you. Edmont wouldn’t have written your story to be passed down. Hauchefaunt solidified your path to legendary status.

Also the fact the sprout is a WHM just like I was, they could be going through the same thing I had my character going through in her story, which is feelings of "why couldn't I save him, I'm a healer", bigger oof

Before I got a player room to place as many bottles as I could to show what an alcoholic my main is. I used that room for it.

    Good to see I'm not the only ones whos character experiences nightmares of failure. For my WOL they remember reaching out to Edda in the deep croft, reaching out a hand to snatch them from the edge only to miss unwilling finger tips by inches. The smell of burning wedding dress and burning skin, wet eye filling with gladdened despair. Her body plummeting as a blaze to the uncaring rock below like a forsaken comet. All the fanfare deafened as a single life slips through such praised fingers. The great vaunted hero and the broken corpse they stand upon like uneven stones. And the bodies of those all too willing to lay their lives down for them. A single death growing into a parade of corpses, their weight pushing the hero forward less they too fall among the mass.
