Ive been playing the longing and I was planning on staying in the caves and waiting it out even after realizing that escape might be an option but then I walked into the darkness for the first time and. Nevermind I'm getting the shade out no matter how many stupid puzzles that are super obvious but I'm not observant enough to figure out until I've spent far too long wandering through the kingdom with a mushroom trying to figure out where to plant it I'm forced to face
#rat rambles#its a pretty good game so far Im rly enjoying it#I appreciate its vision a lot I enjoy the commitment to the bit#I also like the shade theyve been growing on me hard#poor sad wet cat who has mad daddy issues#also I enjoyed finding out they will still work through a book if you close the game while having one open and having auto flip on#I sat them down to read moby dick and went to bed and woke up the next day with a week of in game time having passed and the book finished#enriched and in their element#this is the first game Ive played in a while where I dont rly have any major spoilers so Ive been enjoying furthering quests more#Immm not exactly sure what to do to get past the eyes in the dark but I think I have an idea#I know I need to not be seen so Im thinking maybe I can idle until the shade falls asleep or smth?#I also need to try out the other option on the multichoice thought box you get when you idle#I usually choose the wait and see option because I was scared of making them feel worse#but now I want to get them to the surface if I can so I should see if that changes anything#note: I am idling in the darkness as I type this post this is entirely to kill time#if anyone in the crowd knows abt this game dont spoil anything Im enjoying my relatively spoiler free experience#but yeah Ive mostly just been trying to finish their checklist of wants and Ive done pretty well so far I think#Ive gotten all the crystals and all the colors and even made all their lice pictures in the different colors#I havent gotten their bed yet but I'm close I just need one more wood and a few more bits of moss#I still need to hunt in the hall of eternity a bit more in case theres more books or furniture there but I assume I got most of it?#oh hey dialogue time#OHHHH..... OHHHHHHH....#ok so maybe Im a lil stupid#but also I 100% had the right idea with idling in the dark#oh god damnit they opened their eyes again while I was typing#ok back to being idle then I guess.#god damnit that took so fucking long#oh well. at least that new dialogue was fun.#its also reassuring. Im glad they can have a goal like this.

[tcf chapter 710]
I love how Clopeh is just having a field day within the illusion, going around spreading the good name of Cale-nim even though this world literally doesn't exist!
No world, not even a fabricated one, is allowed to not know the greatness of Cale!
#in his element. in his lane. moisturized. flourishing.#someone let him out onto the streets to do this irl it's like enrichment for him#fict's ramblings#fandom posting#tcf#tcf novel#tcf spoilers#trash of the count's family

so like, hypothetically, if I were to try again to write a very self-indulgent stobotnik fanfic that I started ~4 years ago, in which after Robotnik's disappearance Stone "accidentally" adopt a child genius, and so when Ivo comes back he instantly hate her guts and shenanigans ensue, would anyone be interested or do I just keep thinking about it in my own head?
I'm fine either way but I've been wondering
#stobotnik#idk i just find really funny that he keeps antagonising children#she hates his guts just as much btw they're both fighting for stone's attention#don't worry this is just mutually beneficial enrichment <3#that would only be canon-compliant with the first movie but i'll likely add a few elements from the others#like the mean bean absolutely still existâ it was already in the fic that stone would come to live in green hills anyway#i think i might include lee's headcanon as stone being an orphan/having to leave hos family too#that'd might give him another reason to try to be a good role model for the kid

i've seen a fair bit of... pessimism about dorym lately, esp with the ep107, for example wondering if dorian's opposing views on the gods making orym fall out of love, and i have to say. i very highly doubt it, ur fr talking about the man who has held on to will for so long, holding onto will's family and affectionately calling this *his* family too because that didn't stop when will died. i dont think falling out of love is an option or even a thought to orym.
that said, we know that orym has contingencies for if anyone in bells hells crosses the line into being a version of themselves they would despise, for anyone who jeopardizes their mission. his mission. i think, for the first time since knowing dorian, orym finally has a contingency for him. the longer dorian is back, the more orym sees how scarred he is by what's happened (understandable so) and knows that dorian is with bells hells all the way. but if he isn't...
#lynx speaks#critical role spoilers#cr spoilers#dorym#dorian x orym#i'll be so fr i hardly interact with the cr fandom at large bc soooooo many people are deeply pessimistic#i want to have fun!!!!! i AM having fun#and then i come here and see the most bad faith takes in all of the world ever and its disheartening!#where's ur fucken JOY where's ur fucken WHIMSY#bells hells is one of the wackiest groups with crazy dynamics between them all and its enjoyable!#ur Allowed to enjoy the things u watch i prommy#and to that point! people keep complaining that bells hells r indecisive and there r too many opposing views muddying things etc etc#1. ofc there r a lot of views. the real world is like that too. opposing views is one of the best story elements to enrich ur made up world#2. whenever there is a Big Decisive moment many instantly go 'noooooo not like that!!! that's not what *i*wanted' (ex: the shard.)#the cast receiving backlash from fans every time they r decisive and do something objectively fucken cool and interesting#means that any time they Think about doing a Big Thing... it gets a little harder bc what if the fans hate it. again. should i even do this#separating fandom from cast is a bit more difficult for this form of media and the inherent close proximity or creators to audience#so. just. maybe some of us could chill and cool off just a little. and maybe examine why This Thing is so terrible to u. and remember.#it may be terrible to *u* but thats where it stops. the specific bad feelings u have r not always indicative of media being Bad.#sometimes it's just not ur cup of tea and i PROMMY that its okay if its not

[reads the summary of a movie] hmm I don't think I'd enjoy that.
[watches the movie] hmm I didn't enjoy that.
[learns nothing, will definitely do this again]
#it was honestly a vibe stylistically it just happened to contain things that squick me out#and shockingly I didn't like it#still an interesting watch I don't really regret it#sometimes you gotta watch stuff you know you're not wholly gonna like because it still has artistic merit and good elements#it's enrichment#also I find that microdosing on visceral disgust inoculates me against confusing discomfort with moral objectivity

homunculus factsÂĄ
every year' thousands of homunculi are unmade by the callousness of their masters⢠your gift of just §1 a day can help thisâ˘
commonly effective enrichment strategies for your homunculus can include introducing new scents like doe urine or peppermint' as well as putting their food inside of little compartments in a box⢠just make sure the gnomes don,t escape¥
i fucking love to squish berries between my fingers i could do it all dayâ˘
while homunculi often eat other living things' the most treasured are those imbued with elemental magic⢠this explains the gnome thing' but also includes sylphs' undines' and salamandersâ˘
there,s a loose rock in the masonry of one wall of the lab⢠i,ve been able to pry it out' but there were no treasures there⢠ಠâ á´Ľâ ŕ˛
you guys ever heard of video gamesÂż

technically if it's not simmered in the champagne region of france it's a sparkling best boy friend
#you see actually this is an ingeniously relevant caption b/c of the concept of Authentic food tying into the film's main themes re culture#Clearly impeccable lol....anyway here's me using this blog as like a tumblr hosted imgur#also just now in the shower it occurred to me the parallels / overlaps with My Big Fat Greek Wedding. obviously also v different but#so your family & by extension their culture aren't the Normal & your father especially holds on to this distinction#& you don't just want to work at the family business forever & then you meet a nice boy & there's no problem there he's just nice#except then how to reconcile this with your relationship w/your family & your culture & thus also your identity btw....#anyways how about that uhh#elemental#elemental 2023#pixar elemental#ember lumen#wade ripple#fanart#always a time & a half trying to decide how to tag these kinds of titles. but somehow i survive#it's really a testament to the so precisely captured Cuteness of wade's design that it's like; trying to just do a shadow of it justice lol#it's So good. definitely went for the like expressive wobbliness...the wavy smile is just thee perfect detail all thee time. ugh#giving both of them that Flow while also ember is pointier & has the whole luminosity element....the chefs are kissing#love the Relationship when it's like yeah it's easy to make it agonizing when it's like ya both people have fun & like each other & enjoy#being together & find the relationship enriching & motivating...you Are a cute couple / again that the conflict isn't really even like ooh#will the won't they as a question of if they really like each other; & Definitely not a question of [these ppl hate each other actually] lo#like me saying i like romcoms sometimes when it Does mostly mean i'll watch mybigfatgreekwedding 500x in a row. it's on youtube btw#then you watch some random other romcom & it's psychological torture. random xmas romcomdram like gave me a headache fr....#anyways really liked this film really had a great time i'm def gonna see it again soon#i loved both these characters & their relationship & the Elemental manifestation of Culture is really inchtaraesting#plus other metaphorical resonance ppl find...physical disability; queer experiences....#it was also fun b/c their interacting & their arcs w/each other having that mutual Effect & Change from their dynamic was like#that also just feels like both of them / their relationship = my relationship with myself &/or both how i interact w/the world/anyone#definitely always describing myself in ways like ''i never x except for when i do always; readily'' like Crying for sure lol. I'm Both....#probably a bit more wade? within Myself; by this point lol. i feel like maybe i'm the wade w/someone i'm more comfortable around#but that otherwise i probably come across more emberesque. usually. except for when it's the opposite except for when it's not lmao etc!!!!

((Has anyone else seen armored MMA? If not I recommend checking it out it's pretty cool but That's how I imagine Gawain fights when he really has to do hand-to-hand combat.
He prefers the choreography and improv of more Hollywood-esque swordfighting but the poor guy is hollow and only weighs, like, 27kg - he needs to take every advantage he can get.))
#OOC#[[Lost Little Astronaut]] - Gawain#headcanon#((I imagine his first few Big Hero Escapades that broke containment and made it to media outside of Sigil City))#((were conflicts with lower members of the local fae court and were pretty cinematic and elegant))#((bc none of the Star Court would be caught dead being anything but fabulous on camera))#((so the first time Gawain leg sweeps an armored villain and just starts wailing on them it catches people by surprise))#((well people from outside Sigil City at least))#((seeing the local hero and the local steel elemental fighting like it's 3am at a Waffflehouse is a fairly common occurrence on holidays))#((it's enrichment for the elemental and a good outlet for Gawain - even if he feels bad about it))#((I have now put more lore in these tags than I did the post they're on))#((whoops XD))

am currently working on a neocities site (which i cannot give you the url for yet because im working on the css still and there's no content also it looks ugly still) and oh man does it take me back to ye olde days of custom theme editing on here. i still use a custom theme obvs but back in like 2014/2015ish when i was really into indie rp custom themes were all the rage and you would spend hours editing some character specific image for your bg and then another several hours trying to make the css line up with your image (never at any point did i attempt to actually like. learn html or css. i just read other people's theme codes and edited the parts i could understand and solved problems as they arose. i distinctly remember one time i was using a base that had two sidebars and i only wanted one and deleting the section broke the theme in disastrous ways [bc i had no idea what i was doing] so i literally just made all the elements in the sidebar transparent and moved them off the screen LMAO. the best i ever got was moving from fully built custom themes that i edited to base themes that i built off of)
anyway while im slightly better now (im even reading tutorials! am i following them? sorry i have to go i think someones calling me) i am using a layout builder to build the homepage so it is even more reminding me of mid-2010s tumblr. much like building off a base theme, and definitely easier to understand than tumblr theme building (this time i at least know what all the different pieces of code are doing, even when im not sure how or why, or how to duplicate the effect under slightly different circumstances. but progress is progress!).
a good but annoying thing about the layout that im using is that i havent actually edited the site wide stylesheet, just used internal css on that one page, so when i go to make literally any other page i'll have to start from scratch. this is good because i am learning a lot and i think without doing it this way i would end up with a bunch of useless stuff in the stylesheet that really should be page-specific that i would have to correct with internal or inline css later. annoying because what do you mean i have to make decisions about the sizing and positions of the content? i literally just did that
also im kind of nervous to touch the general stylesheet because im pretty sure what i'll actually want to do is have a couple of stylesheets for different 'sections' of the website, to maintain cohesion between pages of the 'same' type but still allow a lot of fun customization on a per-page basis, but that requires deciding what 'sections' i want on the website and that is a whole other can of worms. but also you can't start without starting so i should probably just try to build a really simple layout and go from there (after all, if it sucks, it's not like i can't just create a new stylesheet, or do the css for each page independently until i hit a groove that's actually worth moving to the stylesheet). but also first i have to finish this goddamn homepage. which means i gotta find a header image that doesn't look ugly as shit
#good idea generator#i dont need a header but im scared of deleting the image in case i break the code and if i go back to the layout maker#i'll have to redo all the code i already did. and im not doing that it was so annoyinggggggg#im having so much fun though. enrichment in my enclosure or whatever#also i found a bunch of my old theme editing stuff while looking for resources and i was like woww i even look like i know what im doing#but ultimately the trick was 90% of my background image should have been css elements instead#like i had a nice box around my content. i should have used a container with a border in the css#but what i did was make a bg img with a box in it already. then try to fit the content to that box#and if youre wondering no i never tested shit all on different screens and i def did not understand positioning#so definitely the boxes did not line up on anyone elses screen. well you live and you learn!

finally finished the first draft of my Octo2 analysis, I still need to go back and edit and rearrange stuff so it reads better, but I copied the text over into a Word doc so I could see the word count, out of curiosity, and it's currently a little over 4000 words, which isn't long per se (although it's apparently 7 pages of text in Times New Roman 12pt single spaced font), but that's definitely one of my longer analyses and, if I were to cite it out in Chicago Style, would absolutely qualify as an acceptable essay in length alone in most of the college classes I once took
#I have lots and lots and lots of thoughts about Octopath#the lack of enrichment (no longer in college classes and writing papers) apparently means I need to write essay-length analysis posts here#I might have to seriously consider finally getting an AO3 account so I can make good on the archive part and archive some of my analyses#anyhow hope someone enjoys reading really long posts about battle mechanics and how they reflect narrative elements#bc I plan to write up something similar for the Octo1 characters now that I have new info about them#finally making good on my url honestly#oracle of lore
