#bc its not consistent at all. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt like there's no pattern

[bluupxels]

these days im only ever interested in sims for a few days at a time so i can play dolls with my other video game ocs, However i think i'd be more interested in it if i didnt have to wrestle with the fawking game to open every single time i want to play.

like for the past year or so ive been having issues opening the game, frequent "corrupted or missing game files" errors and constant crashing on the first loading screen. it literally started out of nowhere, on a fresh install!!, and has just gotten progressively worse. ive done the 50/50 method with my mods like 6 times at this point its never consistent. sometimes taking out backup saves works, mind you ive only been running the game with 1 single save in that ive saved as multiple times and then taken out the old ones just in case. i literally have a spreadsheet of all my mods and when they were last updated and downloaded that i constantly check and i get rid of ones that haven't been updated in a while. the game tends to not crash when those folders are in so it must be cc right? so ill do 50/50 and think ive narrowed it down but then itll crash without those folders, ill put them back in just to double check and suddenly it works. but then the next time i go to play the game wont open.

i mod dragon age and bethesda games to smithereens and have never had issues like this with those notoriously finicky games its absurd

GREETINGS! How are you doing? I've been practically gobbling up your posts (there very tasty)

Ok so hear me out- I've seen a couple posts like this but imagine-

The almighty all powerful wise creator isss

✨️A literal child✨️

Thanks for hearing me out! For you ->->❤️

Baby you taking on the world aw

DAMN SORRY FOR TAKING FOREVER!! i started fics before i answered my askbox :/

Aw i fucking love child reader stuff,

Lots of isekai animes/manhwa/manga do it and i eat that shit up everytime-

I also deeply appreciate when its not done creepily, like being turned 8 again, and having crushes on others who are... yknow, actually 8 yrs old or sm fucked up shit, like even if its 16 yr olds that doesnt make it any better, bc the protag will actually be like,, actually 20?!?!💀 the straights r wild man, i feel like it happens either way too, like its usually a male MC but thats just bc theyre more common tbh, like regardless of gender of protag 🥲

Please comment any I missed. /gen

Klee has recruited converted you to throwing bombs with her.

You are the only leash on that child too and the only thing standing between Jean and full head of gray hair. 💀

Kaeya doesn’t know whether he’s endlessly worried or endlessly amused that the most powerful god is currently a child

if Jean isnt freaking out over ur whereabouts, Diluc is instead, and worst case scenario, Noelle/Lisa/Albedo is in charge of you

and YES someone has to look out for you, bc ur ass will just start making a hot springs spot like ur in ur teapot or smth in dragonspine (Albedo was fascinated it stayed warm despite the weather so he let you make it/enjoy it before asking u to restore natural order lol)

(Albedo has definitely asked to study you and, unfortunately for Jean, asked u to demonstrate several powers u have)

You do work as a lucky charm for Bennett tho so he does babysit u sometimes

it mostly consists of Fischl, Benny, and Razor “adventuring” by trying to do smth like who can jump on the Anemo slimes and ride them around longest

(the answer is you btw, u managed to get a small fleet of them to bus you around, the teens were simultaneously terrified running around below u to catch you and also amazed)

Noelle is so happy making toddler you all the pancakes you can eat, Sucrose had to stop her from going overboard and not just listening completely to kids when it comes to food

She is now very concerned with making you a balanced diet, tho she will still make u an ungodly tall stack of pancakes every now and then <3

They kind of all equally provide for you, obv ur their god, and ur a literal cutie patootie child, they cant just leave you

(also u might like move a mountain or change the weather or smth if they don't watch you so most are a little paranoid of that too)

Lisa gets u all kinds of cute outfits, still stuff you'd like, but definitely snuck in some sumeru looking clothing lol

Fischl lends you all kinds of books to read, Bennett shows u all the cool views in the city and outside of it (when Jean lets him get away with taking u that far), and Razor…

Razor brings you to Andrius and the wolf pack for a wolf pack party and gives u all kinds of shiny trinkets he’d collected for you

Diluc/Jean/Noelle/Eula nearly had a heart attack when they found out

Amber lets you have all the piggyback rides you want lol

she even managed with her own crafting powers (and your probably editing the game code or smth) she somehow makes a reinforced glider with a small harness on the back for you to glide with her

(Venti has definitely helped for some fun flights by boosting the winds for you two)

SPEAKING OF BARBATOS

ur absolutely spoiled rotten by him (and Dvalin, and Andrius, and the wind sprites)

if this god had money he’d spend it on wine and you lol

takes u flying all the time, any time, would drop everything to go to Mondstadt wilds and use his archon form wings to take you wherever you wanna go

tries to bring u to Angel’s Share but Diluc nearly hits him on the head with a wine bottle and brings you back home after kicking Venti out and giving you grape juice (yes you get all you want, within a healthy amount)

anyway the most important part abt you being a god and child is that you can now fulfill your childhood dreams of riding a dragon whenever you want

(one way to quickly get Mondstadt citizens to trust Dvalin again was just constantly seeing him flying overhead, occasionally seeing a small child on his back also helped lol)

(neither you nor Venti tell Jean you ride Dvalin and keep it an active secret from her.)

srry i took so long! i hope u liked my hot mess of writing (i think its even sloppier than usual bc of all the fic writing full sentences lately)

okay time for my own baseless hypothetical assumptions yayyyy #mybaselesshypotheticalassumptions but like if we are operating under the (i think correct) assumption that the GP24 is a lot better or at least more sorted than the GP25, and we compare the riders on ducatis from last year to this year, i think its safe to say that the lineup has gotten. probably worse?

to be fair obviously alex is a LOT more consistent now and has grown as a rider and this doesnt account for how a person can get on individually with a machine (pecco and alex opposite sides of the spectrum this year), but alex’s competition for 2025 that are ALSO on the best bike ever made are. fermin the rookie. and franky who had a really dismal 2024 and is having a perfectly adequate 2025 but also cant really push either marquez brother ever bc he refuses to think in depth about his tires or racecraft kind of at all. also diggia is here on the gp25 but i dont super rate him but that might be my problem #myproblem, but like hes getting his ass handed to him by franky sometimes and i do think he probably should be better than franky. sorry franky i know you had mitigating health circumstances but diggia won some scraps against you last year when the gp24 was STILL the best bike ever made and the gp23 was not so he should be ultra turbo beating you this year and that’s not happening lol

anyways adding to the evidence the gp25 is hard, pecco bagnaia ducatiluver5000 just doesnt vibe with the fundamental concept of the bike and CANNOT get his head around it. SO surveying the competitive situation this year we have marc slaying because the gp25 is at least better than the gp23, ducatis generally are still MUCH better than the rest of the field, hes fast and a freak so he doesnt care as much about its flaws, and also a lot of the killers on ducatis have been removed from their competitive seats bc of his own war of the roses style political machinations. and alex is a competent rider with experience AND newfound confidence on the best racing bike of all time, and everyone else who would normally have a shot has been nerfed/is a baby/kind of isn’t the best rider ever, so hes pulling p2 really consistently! and this doesnt take anything away from alex or marc like at all, they’re executing brilliantly and this is how motorsports work a lot of the time, but i do think. that it would be a more exciting season if things were a little different, rider line up wise. and i ALSO wonder how things will go next year when the gp25 gets handed down to alex

hey I think your art is awesome!

I do have a question, how do you keep it consistent when you draw so often? for me it feels like if I don’t spend a long time on one art it doesn’t fit with the rest TT and your art is very precise and all colored— it’s really cool to me! (Like I absolutely don’t mean it in a dang you don’t put work in way but in a wow that’s really precise for not a lot of time. Way)

it may be just like. A different art brain kinda thing but I was interested if you had any tips or like general idea? Orr maybe it’s just a lot of practice also lol. and u know you can always delete the ask if you don’t wanna answer, especially if you’ve already answered it somewhere I couldn’t find it, I will just say hi !:) I really think your art is very cool! sorry for the anon I am the Shy

im not rlly sure i understand the question, sorry im stupid.......i keep it consistent because i draw so often. when i dont draw for a longer period of time, i get out of shape easily and tend to hate whatever i draw bc it doesnt look "right" (= how it usually looks) to me. thats why i try to draw every day, depending on my time its just sketches up to the doodles i post here. and bc i draw so often, i got faster over time so thats why i can pump out lots of doodles a day sometimes (tho hyperfixations/brainrot also plays a huge part in that, like with exorcist au comics recently)

also bc i stopped trying to achieve perfection long ago, i used to do that, spent hours drawing and often overdid a piece and then ended up not liking it anymore lmao. i kinda prefer the sketchy look in my art

when i do pieces like that tho i take more time ofc. unfortunately, im a very lazy person by nature so i draw such pieces once in a blue moon

anw idk what kind of tips to give. this is just lots of practice and hyperfixations/obsessions as fuel kjbjk sorry if im no help

[chalkodareal]

could you imagine all of team fucked dating. That’s the most neurotic deeply flawed polycule ever. Terry Lesler (43) makes call-out post on tumblr on Rex Mohs who leaves dishes in the sink sometimes and eats meat

legit the portland polycule but worse bc its in ohio. scott is trying desperately to work out a schedule which no one else is happy with. jerry doesnt understand fundimentaly what dating is and thus is giving all 5 other members extremely ill adviced councilling. terry hates rex and everything about him while rex thinks terry is just bad at showing apprrciation. egged on by jeb who is also saying terry just gets like this. jeb and terry are uncomfortably tense at times. scott feels underappreciated constantly due to an inferiority complex. terry is doing budgeting and is having a nightmare of a time since no one but jeb makes consistant money (rex and jerry sometimes bring home slightly conspicuous sums of money but not regularly) and scott refuses to let go of any of his 20 copies of wii play. at least 4 of them think its a cult . and we wouldnt want it any other way

[angy-grrr]

Why does almost everything look like it was made in a rush tho, like wasn't this supposed to be a volume thing? I think they might clean up later but shouldn't they have done that already. Idk maybe it's the image quality that's terrible or something.

Also not them trying to milk out bkdk merch, like fuck off with that lmao

apparently horikoshi and his team had more time to do this than with the weekly chapters; (if we consider this the actual chapter) it could be a draft but something doesnt add up -usually leaks can be different from the final result bc they get leaked days before they digitalize it and publish it on SJ, and they still have time to work on things. However this looks way too clean and is already digitalized, and the issues cant just be quickly cleaned up -the whole volume is probably printed/getting shipped/etc, this isnt another chapter that gets published on its own on SJ.

And I dont think its an image quality thing, some panels lack detailed backgrounds, details arent consistent, and anatomy sometimes is bad. The quality of the image itself is quite good considering we should have gotten brownish/greyish blurry pictures with summaries just like the previous leaks.

I think I saw someone saying the digitalized leaks are really rare, and only happened a day before the release of the actual chapter which isnt the case. I cant verify this, just commenting it as it could be an explanation if you want to take it.

I still dont know how real this is, so I dont know what to think about SJ promoting bkdk merch. They know they are crazy popular, specially together, but it also feels weird to promote them as pro heroes if the supposed extra chapter and official finale is about Izuku not wanting to be a hero with him in particular, being a teacher and happy with taking heroism as a hobby, and no teamwork nor All Might mention.

Could it be to milk every little panel they potentially have together to trick fans into believing they support the pair? yeah. Could it be because they are the foundation of BNHA and All Might's legacy, and their future is bright? Also yeah.

We wont know until we see the official release.

[verycoolsnails]

i hope u dont mind me jumping into ur inbox my good mutual snail but UR OCS SOUND VERY COOL PLEASE TELL ME MORE ABOUT THEM!!! i am staring with the widest eyes at them... hattie sounds wonderful ouhh...

No I cannot tell u abt Hattie.. he evades my mind every time I try to think anout her .....

Ok but seriously every time I try to write abt Hattie I end up either drastically changing their character or deleting any drafts I have of them bc they always end up feeling dry/boring (perhaps expodumping before every Hattie draft was not a good idea.) I wanna say it's been a year(?) since I've even attempted to talk abt her at length. So! I'll talk about her now ig. Let's hope I can keep his character somewhat consistent once I post this🫡

Hattie is, essentially, a god/goddess. This does not mean he is immortal (yet.) I can't into the lore too much much yet ok? ok.

I always feel like I'm horrible at describing personality but I think she comes off as arrogant + aloof + snobbish? As in he WILL talk very strangely and if you can't understand her perfectly then you're not worth it's time. The key to getting anywhere close to him is just to be persistently annoying lmao. Once you do get past that first barrier you realize he's just horrible at talking to other people. Loves showing off his accomplishments (aka wants praise RLY badly.) Becomes pretty clingy when she does eventually get attached to someone. I'd say she's hardworking but he's literally working towards nothing. So.

Appearance is kinda subject to change at any moment cuz im still deciding what would work best. But I'll tell u what I got for now. She tends to use a human-like form but with six arms instead of 2 (kind of like the humble s.pider..) Haven't quitee decided what his face would look like but maybe something in the uncanny valley? Like technically she looks fine but something about her is very very off .. (would probably be a constant smile that just doesnt look. right. ykwim?) Alternatively she could just have a bunch of eyes. Or he could switch between the two...?

Anyways. Exclusively wears the TACKIEST suits known to mankind. You will catch this guy dead before he ever willingly wears a plain t-shirt. Also has a tiny top hat hovering above her head at all times. By tiny I mean it's maybe the size of a fist.

The tiny hat is what Hattie names herself after! (He's not the best at naming things, including himself lol)

he built an entire city by himself! And by built I mean she designed it all and then it just kinda magically came to life (said city is in like. ohh how do I explain this. I guess you could call it a separate dimension from The Universe? It's just like. rly rly far away ig ... if u want me to go more in-depth into the worldbuilding I will. I need 2 be writing it down anyways lmao)

Anyways. Lives in the top floor of a BIGGGGG tower in the center of city-from-last-bullet-point-that-I-haven't-named-yet. Almost never comes out of the tower he loves it soooo much ..

OH AND BEFORE I FORGET. any pronouns and aroace! Figures that I projected my gender and sexuality on one of my oldest ocs (though I do tend to lean towards she/he/they/it cuz thats what the other characters use for her. and its mainly what I use for myself but we're going to ignore that lol)

LOVESSSS paperwork. Would spend the rest of their life pouring over paperwork but unfortunately it has these things called "friends that care about his wellbeing" or whatever...

For his motivations.. he'll tell u that he wants to become immortal (part of what previously mentioned Paperwork is about) but want he rly wants is a family. Said family could be literally anyone who he thinks even slightly cares abt her shes Very desperate at this point. (She doesn't consider her current two friends to be family since she thinks one of them hates him Rly Rly Bad. And the other one is just hard to get in touch with. So Hattie also thinks he doesn't enjoy being around her.)

Has MANYY hobbies .. even Hattie sometimes gets bored of paperwork. Ranges from archery (quit early bc she hated being out of her suits) to bartending (CRAZY good at bartending. Quite proud of it too) to lockpicking (Learned it partly bc they thought it would be a useful skill. Turns out she doesn't really have a reason to break into anything) Some of his favorite hobbies are learning different languages (makes him feel smarter + enjoys the challenge of it) and making dioramas! (first hobby he ever picked up besides making an entire city.[but she considers that more as a job] still has a soft spot for dioramas.)

Has perfect memory. Literally! Unable to forget anything he's ever seen/heard/etc. Has a hard time being alone w their own thoughts bc of this.

Speaking of sleep, Hattie feels things like hunger, thirst, and tiredness, things that a god normally wouldn't be able to feel. And she has absolutely no idea why!

(Uh oh! Turns out never being able to forget anything has it's downsides!)

Backstory is essentially mommy issues x2. What if all you ever wanted was to be loved but the people who were supposed to do that either died or left w/o any explanation. smh.

Turns out I don't know how to end this. uhhh Hattie is very silly. to me...

[hostilemuppet]

Congratulations to Bubbles for being the only person who can fix a person by dating them! Does Blossom or Buttercup feel any different if Bubbles picked Brick instead?

well first of all, bubbles doesnt "fix them by dating them" 😭 she reaches out to them bc bubbles always wants to help, even those everyone else writes off as hopeless (three girls and a monster, stray bullet, etc) and she still could have had the same results if everything stayed platonic between them; i already drew her befriending lou gubrious and NOTHING romantic happened there (hes probably like 30 years older than her anyway!) bc its not that shes like. got magic kisses or anything. she just has the purest of hearts 💙 she does however end up dating either boomer or brick depending on timeline bc:

i cant see any of the x-creations being with a non superhuman/mutant longterm; we already know they can struggle to control their powers and strength when theyre excited or otherwise worked up, theyd be putting regular humans in danger. imagine blossom has her first kiss and she accidentally freezes someone from the inside out! they need to be with people who are. yknow. sturdier. for their own safety. that DOESNT mean they have to be with other x-creations though; mike and elmer are both superhuman/mutants (elmer has mostly unmutated but when he gets flustered and/or sweaty he returns to glue consistency) and obviously from characters like major man and AWSM we know there are other superheroes in this world, and as the girls get older therell probably be more heroes (and villains!) that are more age appropriate! but i think the x-creations are drawn together because:

the x-creations understand each other on a level that even other superhumans and mutants cant. not only are they made of the same chemical - they have the same... abnormalities. the lack of noses, the four fingers and toes, all the little quirks that make normal humans look at them funny and would turn away many potential partners - but theyve lived very similar lives. they understand the alienation, the othering, they even understand mojo jojo. mike believe doesnt understand what its like to be a few days, or even hours old, and already be written off as no good until a certain monkey comes along and uses you for his own gain

the rrb have literally Nothing going on outside of the girls. theyre petty street criminals who have one dad that hates them and the other dad is mojo jojo. they dont even really have any hobbies, except hockey i guess, but literally Who is gonna agree to play against them? the reason i usually portray them as being, at best whipped at worst obsessed with the girls, is bc they are like, the only good parts of their sucky, doomed from the start lives. they were born in a prison toilet. but the girls are smart and pretty and graceful and powerful and are the only ones around here that can put up a good fight and for some reason, sometimes, if theyre lucky, theyll look in the rrbs general direction with something other than the same level of disdain youd give a bug that wont fly out through the open window. the girls embody the lives the boys were never supposed to have, and the second they stop using that to cling to the hate they were created to feel, they become their lifeline. the girls arent as unhealthily attached to the boys as they are to them, bc theyve got like... other stuff going on. hobbies, career prospects, even other friends! but they still have that connection to them, the only other x-creations in town, and as soon as the boys start showering more than twice a month they wont be that bad to look at either

and i DO have ideas for the girls but i also think i should like... say what i think the girls will end up doing in the regular timeline first. ive got more for the regular timelines ppg than the bad end ppg and ive got more for bad end rrb than regular end rrb (regular end rrb either end up "incel" or "househusbands", but a certain someone has something more to do in bad end, and even the incel is less comic relief here)

[straycalamities]

thats pretty cool idk if im the kinda mcr fan that would go and get those though. im just the type to enjoy the music, i rarely get into these artists' personal lives enough to wanna get stuff like that

sometimes i dont even know the names of the people in my all time fav bands like right now? i could not tell you the names of the guys in royal blood and theyve been consistently my number one band since 2016 or something. i have to go look it up every time to remember

doesnt mean i love their work any less i just...i dunno. shruggy

i got into killjoys and the killjoys comics bc its an awesome concept. i also like the umbrella academy (the show more than the comics tho...sorry to say) and if bands are affiliated with stuff like that then im more likely to remember their names or know things abt them bc im looking for more of what they have to say about their work

but yeah im...very laidback in my artist enjoyment. anything i end up learning abt the ppl who make things i like is just found along the way as i soak up more info about the art itself lol

[house-on-sand]

8, 11, 14, 20 from the ocask game for kit!

8. If their mind was run like Inside Out, what emotion would be at the helm?

most people would assume it's anger because kit is quick to anger and he gets irritated/frustrated easily but it's not! it would be confidence or something similar if that's not an emotion because kit is generally very sure of himself and how he approaches the world around him. he knows that he can do most things if he sets his mind to it and he does believe in himself and his skills! a lot! sometimes its a double edged sword and it borders a little into being too self confident but usually he doesnt get to that point. he's just very assured of himself most of the time.

anger would for sure be a pretty consistent co-pilot though. because at his core he is a very angry person (not even specifically. like raging angry either, just very passionate about a lot of things and protective and competitive and idk he feels really intensely in a way that kinda ties to anger as like the base emotion i guess.) but he's working on it.

11. How do they sleep? (Position, hours, quality of sleep, etc)

his sleep schedule is a total wreckage. it varies from a decent night's sleep of at least 8 hours to being lucky if he gets 4 consecutive hours of sleep in a night to sleeping too much in a day/night. it all depends on his work schedule, whether or not he's dealing with any injuries, and where his mental health is sitting at.

when he's working on a project he'll sometimes get so hyperfocused on it, it messes with his routine and he ends up sleeping way less because he's so wrapped up in his work. other times he loses sleep because he has nightmares (not ones he always remembers) and it's hard for him to go back to sleep once one has woke him up and eventually it stresses him out thinking about sleeping because he doesnt want to have a nightmare.

when everything is going well and he's able to stick to his routine!! he has set times he goes to bed and wakes up so he gets enough sleep. he gets really frustrated any time his schedule gets messed up and sometimes it does ruin his whole day and can cause him to have a meltdown bc its Too Much All At Once. its easier if he knows when he's gonna have to adapt his routine like when he has a job and he can kinda prepare himself and at least that part of things wont be Too Much.

other than when he's dealing with nightmares or just cant sleep, he sleeps pretty well! he's a fairly deep sleeper, he'll wake up if someone's really trying or if there's enough going on around him but otherwise he's sleeping through it.

he sleepwalks! not all the time but every once in awhile he will and he doesn't believe he does it tbh. even though he has woken up in places that he did not go to sleep, he just kinda figures? he's somehow unconsciously using his powers in his sleep because that's more believable to him then? he just gets up and wanders. he's scared the SHIT out of friends when he's stayed with them because he doesn't think to warn anyone (again going back to he doesnt think its happening).

this is bonus info that isn't important in the slightest but his dad used to sleepwalk too! even though he doesnt totally believe he sleepwalks, it is something that makes him feel oddly connected i guess? to his dad?

he doesnt stay in just one position when he sleeps, he's flip flopping all over and moving all around his bed. sharing a bed with him is not fun </3

14. What is their phone like, if they have one?

he does have a phone! its not the latest, most expensive model, he's probably had the same phone for a couple years at this point because he doesn't see the point in upgrading when his phone works perfectly fine as it is.

it has a basic black case, that's a decent quality. not the most expensive one but a good case nonetheless — he focused more on getting something that would protect his phone if he dropped it. he has some stickers on it that he's gotten from friends mostly; there's like one that i think a client gave him that he thought rocked so he put it on his case.

unlocking his phone would show how organized everything is. he's got the apps laid out in the most efficient & neat way possible in his mind because otherwise it would annoy him pretty badly. he sorts his different apps into relevant folders (like streaming, fun, work, etc.) so that they're easier to find. his phone and his computer are more neat/organized than his apartment unfortunately.

he's got a music and calendar widget on his home screen bc those are two of the most important things for him so they get to stand out on the screen.

his lockscreen is a picture of him and three of his favourite people!!! his home screen is a picture of the boyfriend absolutely wrecking himself bc he tripped or smth (someone sent it to him, he did not in fact take the time to get out his phone while his boyfriend fell on his ass but like. he would tho as long as he knew it wasn't serious). its such an unflattering picture but it makes him laugh and just fits their energy with each other.. fucking menaces.

20. Write a short (or long) poem about them, even if it's just a simple "roses are red" thing.

okay so... it might not be awesome but i did try out something new for this... because the concept seemed cool in my head and really works for kit. we're just gonna be kind and ignore any mistakes or anything in how. i executed it. i did the Best I Could and it's not supposed to be perfect yknow? its just a vibe

click the images to see it better<3

(it's supposed to be like code poetry abt being trans bc. kit is a video game dev/coder and that's rlly important to him and so is his experience as a trans man)

[imustbenuts]

How do you handle how low key racist toward Japan a lot of fandom is in favor of shoving only American cultural viewpoints into things? I'm so tired...

hm.... a loaded question. short answer for how i handle this:

I don't.

i just. don't. i don't even try to process what i know for sure is a bad take at all, and i make it a point to curate my online spaces as much as possible.

(or at least, i do on very very rare occasions if i feel arsed enough to hop on my keyboard to smashing out a more educated post about it based on my own understanding. more on this in a bit.)

if i go into a fandom tag and i see rampant nonsense, such as during the 1st two months of fire emblem engage's release or some incredible pumpkin spice latte takes, and i feel like it's just too much bc im getting angry, i just disengage. i might read if i feel like it, but if its too hostile i don't add to the conversation. i leave. i don't pass go bc i have waaaay better things to do than potentially engage in a conversation im already not happy to have.

in some occasions i even block. if i feel like someone is being a dipshit in the posts i make with their tags even, i block.

and i suspect im not the only one. how often do you see asians who reside outside of the west actively partake in fandom discussions? its such a drain of energy when it goes bad. most asians are working faaaaar longer hours than the average westerner in the average office setting. i mean, fuck, man. if i want to have fun, im not coming to a place i know i wont be having much. (ofc we are all having it bad. the point is: limited energy is a big factor for why going against the general set consensus is a bad idea)

i've been dealing with this for the past 10 years. minimum. it has always been like this. it has ever always been like this everywhere.

soooome fandoms are chiller than others for sure. but i dont actively participate in fandoms bc: im tired and my attention hops all over the place.

im ALSO gonna drag proship antis DNI into this ramble bc i believe strongly this culture is an evolution of the old 'your fave is problematic' culture mixed with puritanism culture and i hate it. i hate it bc it gets applied to everywhere, even in a japanese/asian culture space where people in fandoms are generally more "you stay in your lane i stay in mine, we're all freaks, just dont break any laws or be terrible". understand that east asian society in general is collective compared to western's more individualistic one, which reinforces that lane thinking. so all these high moral showing-off is just a big pissing contest to me.

in fact its such a pissing contest i actively refuse to follow people who have DNIs in their profiles. id have more respect for those who can say 'i dont like xyz, its not my cup of tea'. its a normal response, i think.

and im done ranting about my personal feelings :v. some practical advice from my dumb of ass:

a person knows what they know

a person doesnt know what they dont know (ignorance)

a person cannot be taught what they dont want to know (willful ignorance)

a willfully ignorant person is not anyone's job to directly fix. only they can check themselves.

hostility begets more hostility. anger is an addictive emotion. block and move on if someone is consistently being annoying/a pos online, its not worth the mental bandwidth

a person wants to know what they know they don't know (curiosity)

if theres something educational worth sharing that can be communicated in a digestible way, it is sometimes worth it. people like reading, but more importantly, communicating. be that with the OP or their own group.

and also, im not immune to any of the behaviors i dont like above myself. there are also limits in what i know. :v hypocritical of me lmao

Ugh this probably says more abt me and my circles than anything else but like. Its legitimately mood-alteringly disappointing rn trying to talk to or deal w other people. It doesnt matter what issue we're talking abt - democracy at home or abroad, international conflicts, climate change, poverty, capitalism - all anyone wants to do is agree abt how shit it all is and then like hope or root for the end of the world somehow and then like wow look how smart and "real" we're being it cant go on like this etc etc like SHUT UPPPPPP!!!!!! People would really rather just HOPE for things to get immeasurably worse bc they dont want to do the work to think abt solutions or even the fact that there ARE things within our power to improve is somehow idk annoying to hear abt?? I guess??? Every time i try to point it out they act like im naiive or childish somehow, they dismiss me showing up to abortion protests as doing nothing AND when i canvass for county level protections as nothing???? If i bring up water catchment systems as a solution to water insecurity in our area (arizona....lol) "itll never work" "zoning boards would never do anything" its like. I feel so stunted like im TIRED of listening to people give up like this, and i hate being dismissed for pointing out real solutions!!! Actually getting 50 people excited about city elections IS more impactful than posting through it!!!!!!!!!!! Idk how IM the dumb one here it feels lonely and isolating rn tbh anyway thank U for being one of the ppl i consistently follow who doesnt just give into sensationalism and exhausting knee-jerk reactions etc

I mean, on one level they’re right - these things WON’T happen, at least not if anyone doesn’t do anything. So it becomes a self-fulfilling masturbatory prophecy.

It’s also easier to ignore all the examples of when people showing up does work - when the right candidates get elected and now the right policies and laws can be passed. The right people speak up at the right meetings and the organization makes different, better choices.

The problem is that life isn’t a movie where we can move through a montage of the scenes and work to get to those moments. You have to live and work, and also recognize that success is not guaranteed. Sometimes the other side is better organized, better funded, better positioned. But you keep fighting and working. You look at what’s not helping or benefiting and make changes. You identify the new allies to complement the ones already there. Reach out to the inactive and under approached.

There is so much we can individually do that adds up on a larger scale.

my whb progress 2

as of apr 7, 2024

since whb's half anni has passed, i thought i'd do a progress check to reflect on how much has happened btwn now and this post

general info

lvl: 47

status: 🤨 mostly f2p

i say mostly cause i just recently broke the f2p status and bought bp for ppyong

i refuse to buy packs and in the future i'll prob be very selective over who i pick for bp (aka i wont buy every bp), so for the most part i'll just be having the f2p experience

when i started: launch (10/03 my timezone)

ver: erolabs

team setup

i finally have levi now lmao

sometimes i'll switch out one of the levis for attacker satan but this is what i use generally

everyone's lvls and artifacts

skill lvls (normal atk-ult-passive)

attacker mammon: 1-3-1

selfie mammon: 4-5-4

selfie satan: 4-4-1

selfie beel: 4-4-4

bloodshed levi: 3-3-1

selfie levi: 3-3-1

secret club

i only work on completing mammon's unholy board

stuck on needing attacker mammon's sig atm :'))

materials

too lazy to screenshot it all but im basically broke on pies, tears, pretzels (tbf i dont play the minigame whatsoever), red keys, yellow keys, and seals

everything else im either ok in supply or overflowing w it

overall thoughts / reflection

this section is for me to look back on in the future when i do progress posts. i'll break down this section into multiple parts similar to my prev post for consistency

STORY

honestly, its interesting in concept. since sadly only 1 chapter has released btwn now and my last post so thoughts havent really drastically changed

ch5 imo wasnt really a full on hades chapter. yes, it takes place in hades and yes we get some intro abt hades, but i think this was supposed to act more like a bridge to tartaros, which is prob why we didnt have any h scenes w any hades chars aside from levi. ofc we'll get back to it being hades-focused eventually, but the story for a while is most likely gonna pivot to tartaros bc of that big lore drop abt mammon at the end

i assume we'll prob be introduced to the cherubs in tartaros bc of selaphiel txting us near the end + it being mentioned at the end that theres a hub of angels in the lab, and hopefully part 2 of mammon's h scene. it was strange at first for mammon to only have 1 h scene, compared to satan or levi that had 2, but w him implying theres probably gonna be a part 2 in his h scene + we'll most likely see him again in ch6 (or however many chapters tartaros will be played out), we'll prob experience part 2 in his home country. tbh that prob just me inhaling MASSIVE hopium since mammon isnt rlly that popular but i can dream ok-

i hope us being in tartaros doesnt last for just 1 chapter. you cant condense the experiments tartaros went through to create a clone of mammon only for them to fail + bring up the fact that the seed is prob also in tartaros in just 1 chapter. well— technically you can, but not at the pace chapters are at atm. chapters have roughly 15 parts of story on the main branch, and imo that much info abt tartaros cant be condensed into 1 chapter unless if they make the story bits like WAY longer than what they normally do

GAMEPLAY

tl;dr as an endgame player, its too easy 💀

working on the spreadsheet ever since the games 1st month of release and now just recently testing multiple team comps, the "meta" is so monkos HSHFJDJ

this game is INSANELY dependent on you having more than 1 dps/tank light card. light is also just an unstoppable element and i wish the game was balanced a bit more to let other elements shine

enemies are now way too easy to defeat. ik i prob shouldnt be complaining abt this but pls im a pgr and neural cloud player at heart I NEED SOME CHALLENGE

ch3 and ch4 were prob the most tedious and awful chapters, but at least they actually made me think when it comes to battles. now i just place down chars and let it play in the bg while i go do smth else. ofc this may just be bc i have a team that im comfortable w using everywhere, but id like to see at least a bit more "challenge" outside of holy coin portal

also, for weekly achievements, lvling artifacts is not a great requirement

i only pull when theres a new s rank or when mammon is moved to standard, so its very, VERY rare compared to avg users. having the artifact req is essentially forcing me to pull during those gaps just so i could fulfill a weekly req which sucks. i also dont need to lvl anymore artifacts in general for my team comp. lvl 15 is the bare minimum i need to get through all content w ease, anything after that is just a small boost tbh

on the note of daily/weekly requirements, there needs to be more of them

i mean in a sense of theres still gonna be 9 daily achievements, but you get more options on HOW you get to the 9 daily achievement req. most gachas that ive played always have more options than necessary to fulfill the overall requirement to get all rewards, so having this strict number w strict reqs is rlly not that great tbh

RESOURCES

thoughts from last time still havent rlly changed. pies and candies especially are still rng dependent which sucks, and now there gonna revamp pancakes while also keeping the old pancakes ???? theres way too many currencies (w some even having very little to no use) atp which can and will get overwhelming for new players

GACHA

i hate solomon seals. you can tell that red keys were supposed to be the main gacha currency if you ever look at old packs, but smth happened along the way and now we have seals

pity is also way too high for what we're earning atm. based off of f2p earnings, every week we get roughly 1 pull of red keys, maybe 2 pulls of yellow keys (red and yellow keys are more dependent on the key boxes which again, dependent on rng), and 1 pull of solomon seals. this doesnt include the stuff earned outside of dailies/weeklies, and i think there should be more ways to earn said currency through dailies/weeklies and not be so dependent on either paying or pulling chars

speaking of pity, i wish we had pity for both of the standard banners

i also wish theyd separate char and artifacts into their own banners. that way, if someone has a char but needs their sig, they can just pull in the artifact-only banner and try to get said sig

tl;dr in general i wish everything wasnt so strict and rng dependent, also wish numbers made sense like why do we get at least 5 red keys a week when 1 pull is 3, JUST GIVE ME 6 KEYS ATP

so yeah thats all for now lmao. im pretty sure i have a lot more to say abt this game but my minds at a blank atm, so ig thatll be saved for the next progress post which will be around 1st anni

[knighthearts]

just watched a video on how to avoid burnout and finish your series projects and some of the points made me cross my arms like a stubborn child bc damn i really do need to do those things LOL

the main two points that made me go grrrr were "if you dread doing a certain part of the thing (lines, colors, shading, backgrounds, etc) then literally hire someone to do them for you" and "set a timer so you Stop Working after a certain amount of time b/c your ass doesnt need to be working for 8 hours straight on a project even if youre in 'the zone'"

the first one got me bc like. i SHOULD be letting people help me. im doing all this shit by myself and it does kill me sometimes but i have this awful complex where i just HAVE to do everything myself or else it doesnt feel like its completely my work anymore. its rough out here

the second one got me bc i KNOW it would help. it would let me cool down and not work as much and be excited for when im able to come back and work on stuff. but man it is SO HARD to get me to NOT do everything in one sitting unless my energy doesnt allow for it anyway..thats why im so damn fast. i just KEEP GOING like the fucking energizer bunny

i hate that burnout has such a hold on me and makes it to where i work a lot at once and then dont work for like..weeks, sometimes months at a time. hell at one point it was years. which sucked. but i want to try and solve my burnout problem :(

the video also suggested to do what the creator did--work in phases. i SORT OF do this, but not in the same way, so maybe i should try their way, where they outline the whole chapter, then sketch the whole chapter, then line the whole chapter, then color the whole chapter, and etc in phases like that. they said its inevitable that your art style is going to change throughout your project (mine certainly has) but this way its at least consistent per episode/chapter lol. which i think i really need. i guess my problem with this technique is like...i post when i finish pages, not in bulk. at least for mirrors and doppelganger ii. so idk if thatll necessarily..work for me??? UNLESS i just do it and stagger the page postings. i could probably do that

honestly. maybe my stimulant therapy will fix everything anyway. but in the meantime im gonna try to reel it in myself
