𝐶𝛨𝛢𝑃𝑇𝛦𝑅 𝟎𝟑𝟔 — IMAGINARY (3,6K WORDS) 𝑅𝐸𝐷 𝐿𝐼𝑁𝐸𝑆 — lyney x f!reader smau

𝑆𝑌𝑁𝑂𝑃𝑆𝐼𝑆 —

Second year of university should've been everything you thought of it - more studying with human interaction sprinkled throught... What it definitely wasn't supposed to be was an investigation saga where one of your friends goes missing out of nowhere

𝑃𝑅𝐸𝑉𝐼𝑂𝑈𝑆 — 𝑀𝐴𝑆𝑇𝐸𝑅𝐿𝐼𝑆𝑇 — 𝑁𝐸𝑋𝑇 𝐸𝑃𝐼𝑆𝑂𝐷𝐸

The week flew by in a blur. Filled to the brim with therapy sessions, character spreadsheet creation - with the lovely help of Navia and Clorinde - and clubroom cleanup. Before the group knew it, the day of the meeting had arrived.

“Welcome to our humble abode!” Navia exclaimed as she greeted the Beverage Gang members, ushering them into the room. “Feel free to sit anywhere you’d like — just steer clear of Clo’s.”

“Thank you for having us,” Furina replied warmly, dipping into a small bow. Her gaze roamed around the room, absorbing its eclectic decor.

Tabletop Troupe’s clubroom felt surprisingly cramped despite its generous size. Clutter dominated every corner, with shelves and small coffee tables crammed full of items loosely connected to their club activities — walls full of imaginary maps, astrology and herbalism posters. It was an organised chaos, brimming with the girls’ personalities and charms.

At the centre of the room stood a grand table, completely covered by an elaborate diorama of a fantastical world — one they would experience in a second. Tiny buildings, dense forests, and intricate landscaping were crafted with immaculate precision, each detail a testament to the maker’s skill.

“Wow,” Wriothesley said, leaning closer to inspect the miniatures. “These look amazing. Whoever made them did an incredible job.”

“You can thank Clorinde for that!” Charlotte called out from the tiny kitchenette tucked into the corner. She and Lynette were busy preparing drinks for the group, the clinking of the mugs and the faint hum of the kettle accompanying her cheerful voices. “She always makes our map models!”

Seated at the Game Master’s spot, Clorinde sighed and rolled her eyes. “Charlotte, that’s not necessary,” She muttered, a faint hint of embarrassment creeping into her tone.

Navia grinned as she slid into a chair beside Clorinde, crossing one leg over the other. “Oh, don’t be modest, Clo. We all know you’re a perfectionist with this stuff.” She poked her cheek gently to lift the mood.

The woman huffed, leaning over to grab her notes from a bag beside her chair. “It’s simply a part of being a good Master. Immersion is key, and thus the map is important.”

“If you decide against working in law enforcement,” Furina chimed in, her gaze still fixed on the diorama. “You could probably make a bank selling pieces like these. There must be bank made from these~”

“I doubt there would be much joy to be found in the business of such calibre,” Neuvillette commented, his gaze fixed on Clorinde. He spoke just as she was about to, his hand reaching out to tug his friend away from staring the miniatures down. “Apologises for her, Miss Clorinde.”

“It’s alright. Thank you, Neuvillette.”

By now, Lynette had quietly begun placing drinks on the table, with the help of [Y/N] and Lyney who joined her soon after entering the room last. A mix of teas, coffees, a few colourful sodas in glasses and mugs of various sizes. “Everything’s ready,” She said softly, stepping back with her composure. She looks around the table before realising she has forgotten something. “Oh, the sugar.”

“Got it here, queen!” Charlotte was right behind her, sugar bowl in hand. The girl handed it to Furina, the most well-known sugar tea drinker at this party.

“Oh thank you, Charlotte—“ Lynette looked away from the girl, noticing an anomaly. Her preferred seat, the one right next to [Y/N]’s was already taken. “You’re in my seat.”

“Am I?” Lyney asked, raising an eyebrow. “Don’t see your name anywhere here, sis.”

Lynette’s ears twitched ever so slightly, a sign of her quiet irritation. Lyney might've been related to her, but that wouldn't stop her from taking what’s rightfully hers. Especially since that rascal just swooped in and stole her friend out of nowhere. The girl crossed her arms, fixing her brother with an unimpressed stare. “It doesn’t need my name. It’s always my seat.”

Lyney grinned, leaning back with a dramatic air of innocence. “Ah, but aren’t I a guest? Besides, I think it would be most beneficial to sit next to someone already acquainted with the premise of the game.”

“There’s three more people here who have played the game. You’ll do fine.”

The short male gasped dramatically, clutching his chest as though Lynette’s words had physically wounded him. “Oh, the cold dismissal from my own dear sister! Surely Father taught you better than to treat guests like that? Truly, I’m appalled.”

“Less appalled and more stubborn,” Lynette deadpanned, standing behind his chair as she leaned forward. “Move, or else I’ll make you move.”

“Sorry, Lyney…” [Y/N] chimed in, scratching her cheek with her nail. “If it was my seat, we could’ve simply just switched.”

“Alas,” He stood up, letting his sister have her seat finally. “My dear companion yanked out of my existence, truly painful. You’re quite lucky, I’m feeling extraordinarily generous today, dearest sister.”

“Well, at least you have the roleplaying aspect down,” Navia chuckled, finding amusement in the sibling’s bickering. It was lovely to have them able to do that once again.

Lynette slid into her seat without another word, her expression blank but triumphant. “Oh thank you,” She said simply, her tone carrying just the slightest edge of sarcasm and satisfaction.

Lyney, now sitting next to Furina, leaned towards her, sulk painted on his face. “You see what I have to deal with? Ruthless woman, that Lynette is, I say.”

Furina laughed softly, stirring sugar in her tea while patting his platinum locks. “Yes, yes,” She offered her best confronting tone. “What a ruthless lady your sister is…”

The group’s laughter rippled through the room, dispelling the last remnants of tension from the siblings’ playful squabble. Furina’s indulgent tone as she teased Lyney only added fuel to the lighthearted atmosphere.

Clorinde glanced up from her notes, her calm demeanour contrasting the room’s buzzing energy. “Alright,” she called, her authoritative voice cutting through the chatter. “Is everyone ready to start?” She gestured toward the sprawling diorama at the centre of the table.

“We sure are, Clo~” Navia replied, taking her character notes as well as the newest set of dice. Beautiful purple hues marbled with gold veins. “At the very least these puppies are!”

Clorinde gave a curt nod, her eyes scanning the group for one final time as everyone settled in their seats awaiting any initial questions. Seeing as there was no confusion at that time, she grunted one last time to warm up her voice.

She leaned forward, flipping to the first page of her meticulously detailed campaign notes.

‘Today’s journey begins in the quiet village, nestled at the edge of the Whispering Woods. Rumours of strange occurrences have spread like wildfire — missing livestock, eerie noises, and sightings of shadowy figures. You’ve all been summoned here by the town’s elder, a frail yet spirited man, who now stands in the middle of a humble tavern. His slivered beard trembles as he speaks: ‘Thank the heavens you’ve arrived! The surrounding lands have been plagued by something… of illusory means. Please, brave adventurers, the village needs your help.’

“My player straightens her posture, her voice taking on a commanding tone,” Navia says, looking at Clorinde, who allows her to continue. “‘Fear not, Elder. We shall uncover the truth and protect these lands. First, please tell us everything you know about these occurrences.’”

Charlotte smirked, taking on a haughty voice — playing up her character of noble descent. ‘While my noble companion handles the talking, I’d like to take a look around. Are there any tracks or signs of a struggle nearby?’

“Perception check,” Clorinde announced, pointing to her friend to roll the dice. All eyes have turned to the pink-haired girl, but one.

“Clorinde?” Furina’s hushed voice asked, looking at the older girl a bit nervously.

“Is everything alright?”

“Uh…” Furina gulped a little, deciding if she wanted to make a fool of herself to ask her question. “What does perception mean?”

The room fell into a brief silence before Lynette took her spot to explain. “It’s one of the skills your character has.” Her eyes started directly into her brother’s guiding him to point the character’s skills. “It’s basically your ability to notice things in the environment — spotting hidden clues, hearing distant noises, or picking up on subtle details in your surroundings.”

Furina tilted her head thoughtfully, her nervousness melting. “Oh! So like being observant?”

“That’s it!” Navia affirmed. “Your perception is determined by your wisdom statistic, and rolling the dice determines how successful you are in noticing things in a given situation.”

Clorinde leaned over the table, noting Charlotte’s roll. “There is no need to be reluctant in asking questions, Furina. Tabletop Troupe might be overwhelming at first, but I, as the Game Master, as well as the group will assist you every point of the way.”

“Besides,” [Y/N] chimed in quietly, “You will be rolling for your performance scores for the songs you play as the bard of the team. All in due time, girl.”

Furina nodded, her confidence returning as she glanced at her character sheet. “Alright. Thank you for explaining.”

Charlotte, during these talks, finished her roll — her die landing on an honourable 15. Clorinde’s expression didn’t give anything away as she described the result. ‘You scan the area around the tavern, eyes sweeping over the dirt paths and grassy edges. You notice something resembling hoof prints leading toward the woods. They are larger than those of typical livestock and strangely uneven.’

Charlotte hummed slightly, taking notes on a notepad next to her character sheet. Her character’s voice slipped into a posh drawl. ‘How curious. It seems our shadowy friend prefers the forest. I suggest we follow these tracks hastily’.

Navia grinned, fully immersed in her character. “‘Indeed! But we better gather more information before charging blindly into danger like a pack of fools’”.

Clorinde glanced at Furina, offering her a slight nudge. “Perhaps you’d like to contribute? A song to rally the group to disregard Navia’s opinion or something to charm the elder for more information?”

Furina’s eyes lit up, excitement replacing her earlier apprehension. “Yes, yes! I strum my lute and sing a gentle ballad, designed to ease the elder’s fears and coax more details from him.”

“Roll for performance, please,” Clorinde instructed, leaning forward slightly.

Furina picks up her die, shaking it around in her palms before rolling. After bumping into the walls of the box, the die landed on an 18 — the table erupting into cheers for their companion.

“Your melody washes over the elder, calming his trembling hands. His voice steadies as he reveals more: ‘The figures always vanish toward the woods after nightfall, near the old watchtower. Beware, for the whispers grow stronger the closer you get.’”

“See?” Lyney gave Furina a playful nudge. “You’re already a natural.”

The girl beamed, clearly proud of herself. “Alright, team. Let’s get to that watchtower and solve this mystery!”

Neuvillette chimes in before Clorinde can change the scene and move the character pieces. “‘Dear elder, could we be able to enter the tavern before leaving for the expedition? I’m still quite parched from our journey here’”.

“The elder clears his voice, nervous to answer. ‘I’m afraid the tavern is unable to provide any drinks at the moment. The regulars are simply complaining at the bitterness of the drinks, and that is no way to treat esteemed guests.’”

“‘A glass of water is all I require.’”

Clorinde eyes Neuvillette down, clearly ready to entertain his action wishes, but not without a small twist. “‘The water sources all seem to be contaminated, I’m afraid.”

The group turns into silence, awaiting the decision of the water enthusiast.

“I drink the water regardless.”

Clorinde sighs, passing the die towards Neuvillette. “You’re going to roll for constitution. Go ahead.”

The group’s collective gasp filled the room as Neuvillette boldly declared his action. Charlotte leaned forward, both intrigued and horrified. “Are you serious? That has to require like a 19 to pass!”

The male offered a calm, unbothered smile as he took the die. “Water, even in its less-than-pristine forms, is still water. A simple contamination will just change its flavour profile. My character would not waste the opportunity to assess its condition firsthand.”

Wriothesley bursts into laughter, slapping the table. “You never change, do you. Even in games, you have an obsession with water.”

Clorinde, unamused but clearly resigned to this turn of events, folded her arms and gestured for him to roll. “Very well. Let’s see how your character’s iron stomach fares.”

The die clattered across the table, all eyes glued to it as it spun to a stop. A collective pause followed.

“Natural 20!” Navia hollered, nearly toppling out of her chair as she leaned forward. The group erupted into cheers.

Clorinde pinched the bridge of her nose but couldn’t hide the faintest hint of amusement. “Alright, critical success. ‘Against all odds, the water has no discernible negative effects on your character. In fact—‘“ She glanced at her notes, improvising on the spot. “The water seems to reinvigorate you. You feel sharper and more aware. Add another point to your dexterity statistic, please.”

Neuvillette tilted his head in modest satisfaction. “‘How fortuitous. It seems the water was not as unclean as the villagers presumed. Perhaps the contamination lies elsewhere.’”

The campaign which initially was thought to be a short one, to not overwhelm the first-timers, turned out to last multiple hours… and still not be done. The party seemed to be getting tired minute by minute, eyes barely holding on, their legs sore from sitting in the same spot.

As wishful as getting a break to stretch the bones out was, thanks to the decisions and rolls done by the group, they had finally stumbled upon one of the main enemies. Unfortunately for them, most of the party is far too injured to take on the opposing foe. Lyney, in particular, is in quite the conundrum — the evil sorcerer is dashing straight to his harmed character, and he won’t be able to take another move before Clorinde takes action.

The woman turned to [Y/N], the last person with enough health to try and turn it around.

“Pass me the dice.” She looked at Clorinde, double-checking with her character abilities. She pondered for a minute, trying to gauge how well she must roll to have any chance of saving Lyney.

Clorinde handed the dice over, her expression neutral yet expectant. “Your decision, [Y/N]. Think carefully. What do you wish to do?”

The group fell silent, the atmosphere tense. Lyney leaned forward, clutching the edge of the table as though his real-life depended on her action.

“I’m going to use Shadow Strike,” [Y/N] declared, her eyes flicking to the miniatures on the table, assessing the positions. “My character will conjure shadows to harm the sorcerer. That is— uh, five d6 dice.”

Navia’s jaw dropped. “You know you need to roll really high for that? Even with your modifiers you basically need to hit a crit success.”

Clorinde gave a curt not, passing the dice. “Shadow Strike allows you to attack the foe with a sneak attack. Given your current level, you gain an additional four to your roll thanks to proficiency.”

Charlotte clutched her notes. “If she fails, Lyney’s character is toast. No pressure, though, girl.”

“Thanks for the vote of confidence,” [Y/N] quipped with a small grin. She picked up the dice, the weight of the moment settling on her shoulders. Her heart thudded as she shook the dice, the room holding its collective breath.

A six.

A three. It’s nine in total.

A six. Fifteen.

A six. Twenty-one.

The room watches the last dice with the utmost attention. All [Y/N] needs is three or above to pass the check.

“A six. It’s thirty-two total.” [Y/N] looks up at Clorinde, a smirk on her face. “Don’t even need the proficiency boost, baby.”

Cheers erupted around the table, and even Clorinde’s normally stoic expression turned into one of amusement. Getting an almost perfect roll was quite uncommon, given statistics and that. “Your attack connects. Roll for damage.” She passes five d8 dice.

“Oh, we’re just getting started.” The girl declared with a determined grin. She scooped the damage dice, channelling every ounce of willpower into her throw. The octahedra-shaped dice rolled again, spinning to a halt.

They added up to thirty-six.

Navia shot up from her chair, her arms raised triumphantly. “Let’s go! That’s enough to obliterate that guy!”

Clorinde can’t help but chuckle, recording the roll. “Your Shadow Strike slices through the sorcerer’s defences with uncanny precision. The force of the attack sends him staggering, his staff clattering to the ground. With a final, desperate scream, he collapses.”

The table erupted into applause and laughter, with Lyney leaning over the table to gather [Y/N]’s hands into his. “My saviour!” He exclaimed, shooting the girl a dazzling grin. “I, quite literally owe you my life.”

“We are truly the side characters in the coming of [Y/N]’s and Lyney’s love story,” Wriothesley chuckled. “Even randomness says so.”

Clorinde raised a hand, bringing the group back to order. “Well done, team. With the sorcerer defeated, you’ve cleared one of the major obstacles in this campaign. Let’s pause here for now, I’m sure your legs must be killing you.”

With a short break in session, [Y/N] decided to have a breath of fresh air on the rooftop nearby. She was dubbed the hero of the campaign, and yet her mind could only think about Wriothesley’s comment accompanying Lyney’s grasp on her hands.

Ever since coming to terms with her crush, she had done her best to keep her feelings in check. There had been situations where she simply needed to push the feverish feelings in her chest aside for the sake of the group.

The cool evening breeze was a welcome reprieve from the energetic atmosphere of the clubroom. [Y/N] leaned against the railing, looking at the setting sun. She sighed, letting the air calm her racing thoughts. It’s just a game, she told herself. We are close friends, that’s all. Don’t overthink it. But Wriothesley’s comment had planted a seed that was difficult to ignore.

“Figured I’d find you here,” A familiar voice called out. [Y/N] turned to see Lyney stepping onto the rooftop, his charming smirk softening into something more genuine. “Needed to calm your mind after pulling that action back there?”

She laughed, brushing her hair away from her face. “Let’s say that’s it.”

He walked over, leaning on the railing beside her. “That really was an incredible play you did there. Honestly, I thought I was done for.”

“I just got lucky with rolls, that’s all.” She said, trying to downplay her achievement.

Lyney shook his head, a playful glint in his eyes. “Sure, luck might’ve been part of it, but you’ve got great instincts. You saved me back there, as you have the tendency to do so even outside games. For that, I’m grateful.”

His sincerity caught her off guard. She glanced at him, and for a moment, they held each other’s gaze. The oranges and reds of the setting sun seemed to highlight every detail of his features — the curve of his lips, the sparkle in his violet eyes.

“Oh please,” She started, breaking the tension. “Says the guy who saved me from an actual kidnapper.”

“And I’d do it again in a heartbeat.” He replied, his voice quieter now. He looked at her with an expression she couldn’t quite read. It was hanging on a thread between simple gratitude and something deeper.

[Y/N] felt her heart skip a beat. She turned her gaze back to the sky, trying to compose the heat she felt rising to her cheeks. “Should I hold you to it?”

Lyney laughed softly. “Of course. I’m a man of my word, [Y/N].” He placed his hand on his chest, leaving his sincerity for all to witness.

The two stood in comfortable silence for a while, the sounds of night’s arrival filling the air.

“You know,” He said after a moment, his tone thoughtful. “That comment Wriothesley made back there — you know about what — what do you think about that?”

Her breath caught in her throat. She turned to him unsure of how to respond. “I think he was just teasing, considering everything we went through,” She said carefully. “But, well, you know him better than me.”

Lyney nodded, his smirk returning. “That guy loves to tease. Especially me. But…” He leaned slightly closer, voice dropping to a soft murmur. “If it were true, would that be so bad?”

[Y/N] felt her cheeks heat up, her heart pounding in her chest. She opened her mouth to reply, but no reply came out. She was just left there frozen, staring at him agape trying to process his words. The implication hung in the air between them, a delicate thread stretched taut by the weight of unsaid feelings. Lyney’s gaze stayed fixed on her, a mixture of hope and vulnerability flickering in his eyes.

He gave a soft chuckle, a sound that carried so much anxiety. “I didn’t mean to put you on the spot,” He said, stepping back slightly. “I just… well, fuck, I have never asked anyone out on a date, sorry.”

[Y/N] finally found her voice, though it was barely above a whisper. “Sorry, I just— I… That was unexpected to hear.” She turned to face him, meeting his gaze head-on. “A date, huh?”

Lyney tilted his head, looking at the girl with confusion and nervousness in his eyes. “Yeah— Only if you want to, I mean!”

“I…” She began, her voice trembling slightly. “I think I’d like that.”

I haven't seen anyone posting about the Port Arthur massacre or the perpetrator, despite the fact that 35 people were killed and 21 were injured, which is somewhat disappointing considering that seated him at fourth place on Adam Lanza's shooter spreadsheet. So to start off my profile, I figured I'd kick the door in with the first half of a police tape I had found online a year or so back of a case that's of personal importance to me as a resident of Hobart. WARNING The tape not only contains real footage of the scene prior to cleanup, but also the cadavers of two children killed while fleeing the scene. SECOND HALF https://www.tumblr.com/skrunklers-fent-stash/770718355958185984/the-second-half

Heads up that this weekend I'll do my best to answer all the asks that have been piling up in the inbox for a while (with a few exceptions for which I'm waiting until I have the updated stats spreadsheet to answer them properly), so block the tag "#dyktc inbox cleanup" if you don't want to see a bunch of them on your dash in quick succession. I'll try to spread them out a little, though. If you have notifications on, you might also want to turn them off for this weekend if this sounds like something that would bother you.

It seems as if everyone knows someone who lost it all, whose friends lost it all, whose family lost it all. We personally know more than a dozen people who have lost their homes.

Social media is awash with GoFundMes, spreadsheets of evacuation shelter needs, calls for cleanup volunteers, desperate requests for pet fosters, Red Cross form explanations and FEMA aid applications. Image after image of the monstrous inferno whipping through quiet Altadena streets, of the blackened silhouettes of Pasadena businesses, or rows and rows of homes reduced to ash in the Palisades roars past our timelines, assaulting the mind with what seems like unending devastation in communities all across Los Angeles.

Amidst the destruction, there are glimmers of hope, too. Angelenos everywhere have heard the call for aid and stepped up in remarkable, even miraculous ways.

I see @eponymous-rose doing these sometimes and I've always thought it was so much fun, so here's a Day in the Life of a clinical Associate Professor™. For reference, I've been seeing patients & teaching at my current university since finishing my residency almost a decade (!!!!!) ago.

9:30 - 10:00 - Precious precious office hours, spent answering emails from students, colleagues, and a guest speaker from a national organization I'm trying to coordinate an event for in two weeks. Everything's lined up except the venue (all our regular lecture halls are booked), and of course we discover this just outside his window to refund his airline tickets. Rats.

10:00 - 12:00 - Clinical lab! I'm coursemaster for two complex lecture/lab courses in the spring (protip: never let admin do this to you), so right now I spend most of my week in the classroom. Friday AMs are my advanced procedures lab, & today the students are doing intradermal and subcutaneous injections of the forearm and eyelid. This course can be really scary for them, so I go to a lot of effort to get them mentally and emotionally prepped, practicing approach and needle manipulation, etc. All of them do wonderfully, and even after cleanup and taking the biohazard bag down to disposal, I'm out on time.

12:00-1:00 - Guest faculty candidate lecture! Our full-time faculty has been down by about five people for a few years, and we also have three more of our remaining full-timers out on medical leave until late February, so we are hurting for help. This applicant gives a phenomenal talk on diversity and optometric scope across the several continents she's taught in over the last twenty years. It's an extraordinary talk and I honestly learn more geography than I expected.

1:00 - 2:30 - Lecture! Advanced procedures lecture to the third-year class, usually the only barrier between them and their weekend. I really like today's lecture and it goes well, and even the chronic dozers in the side seats stay awake.

2:30 - 2:45 - Intended to be an interview/tour with the faculty applicant, except here comes the first wrench. Just as she gets to my office, the colleague delivering the speaker lets me know she's having tech trouble with her Zoom-in guest lecturer and also there's a very upset student in the hall outside the classroom. I go down with her right away; student is okay, just got some very bad news, and when I'm sure they're settled with their friends & support system I help the colleague with the tech.

2:45-3:10 - Tour finally happens! The students we encounter are chipper and cheerful (not always the case in practical season!).

3:10-4:00 - Meeting with my clinic coordinator to prep for next week's practicals. My other big course this semester caps with a high-stakes clinical entrance exam; in essence, the students must perform a complete, independent eye examination from start to finish, and they can't enter clinic with "real" patients until they pass. The setup & scheduling for this practical (which runs over three weeks) is probably the most complicated logistical nightmare of my year. However, my coordinator is amazing, and within the hour she has a detailed list of both her tasks and mine and will report back as each prep step is done.

4:00-5:00 - Desperately trying to finish this schedule, answer my most urgent calls from patients, and finish some time-sensitive grading. Another colleague comes by and asks what I thought of the guest speaker, and when I say I didn't get much time in my interview with her, she suggests I tag along to the faculty dinner with her tonight at 5:45. A fantastic idea! I'll just wear what I have on, yeah?

The faculty dinner is at a five-star steakhouse. I'm wearing scrubs and a pullover.

It's okay, I have time to make it home and change! I can make it!

5:15 - I accidentally overwrite 90% of my completed schedule with an old, mostly blank copy, and don't realize it until after saving multiple times (I was on a different tab in the spreadsheet).

5:15 - 5:45 - Meticulously recreate the schedule as quickly as I can. I've already emailed out some assignments to the students, so I can't start over from scratch (which would have honestly been faster). Finally finish & send out the details to needed parties.

5:45 - 6:35 - race home, feed the dog, change into slacks and my favorite blazer, race out to the steakhouse.

6:35 - 8:30 - I arrive just before the salads come out, hallelujah! I have the best steak I've ever eaten in my life, as well as have a fantastic conversation with the candidate and the other faculty. The time honestly flies by, and when I realize what time it is I'm feeling very guilty about leaving the dog. Still, I'm sure she'll be a fantastic fit for the program, and it's honestly a relief to have my questions about some of her experience answered.

8:50 - home at last, at last!

8:51 - I discover my fly has been unzipped all night.

8:52 - 9:00 - I indulge in paroxysms of shame.

9:00 - now - hot bath, a book of poetry, and a double bourbon.

Full List of Available Support Options

After a LOT of polling, I've put together the finalized chart of available supports, along with noting which pairs have medium/fast support gain as opposed to the usual slow. I've gone ahead and redone all of the support options following this chart, so it should match perfectly and all support speeds should match, eliminating any support gain issues. Please note that this chart is for the ability to gain support, and has nothing to do with whether or not a pair has anything written. Please refer to the main spreadsheet for that information, found at this link.

Unfortunately, all of this cleanup work means that any existing saves will get their support ranks messed up. As such, I will be including a separate download with the original file for anyone who does not wish to ruin a current playthrough. This file also has the more restricted support options that stay faithful to @unassumingvenusaur's original mod, and it will not be removed later down the line just in case somebody would prefer her restrictions. If this is not an issue, I highly recommend making the switch so you have more options and are able to see supports that will only be available with the new expanded version!

This is the bulk of what I've been working on, so expect the next update to come out soon. Just a warning though, there won't be as many new supports in this one as most of what's been done is mechanical changes and cleanup.

Elevate Business Efficiency with Rightpath GS

In today’s business environment, managing travel and expense (T&E) processes isn’t just about reimbursements and spreadsheets – it’s about giving employees a seamless experience while protecting the company’s bottom line. When done right, T&E can drive real value, from cost savings and policy compliance to happier, more productive employees, Expert Financial Planning and Analysis Services by Right Path

But the reality is, many organizations still rely on outdated processes that create delays, confusion, and frustration for everyone involved.

At Right Path Global Services Pvt. Ltd., we believe there’s a better way. That’s why we offer AI-driven solutions that take the pain out of T&E and turn it into a streamlined, intelligent, and employee-friendly experience, Right Path Financial Planning and Analysis Services Data-Driven Insights

What’s Holding T&E Back?

Even with the best intentions, T&E processes often encounter a range of recurring issues. One major challenge is the lack of a standardized workflow. Without a clear, end-to-end process for expense reporting and auditing, inconsistencies creep in. This opens the door to overlooked red flags and post-facto audits that fix problems too late.

Reimbursement delays are another critical pain point. Employees often spend personal funds for business travel, and late reimbursements can lead to frustration and disengagement. These delays usually stem from manual approvals, missing notifications, and overburdened finance teams.

Then there’s the confusion caused by shifting expense policies. Without real-time communication or built-in guidance, even well-meaning employees can unintentionally submit non-compliant claims. And during peak travel seasons, the sheer volume of submissions can overwhelm manual systems, compounding delays and increasing errors.

Issues like missing receipts, incorrect cost codes, and duplicate claims further slow-down verification, leading to longer processing times and rising frustration for all parties involved.

Why It Matters: The Real Risks Behind the Process

These inefficiencies don’t just impact day-to-day operations – they create real business risks. Delayed reimbursements hurt employee morale and erode trust. Weak verification and audit controls can open the door to fraud or misuse. Finance teams become reactive instead of strategic, losing time on data cleanup instead of focusing on forecasting and planning.

Poor T&E practices also disrupt cash flow, making it harder to manage budgets and project future expenses. And compliance gaps – caused by poor policy enforcement or missing documentation – can result in legal and regulatory complications.

The Right Path: AI-Driven Solutions for a Better T&E Process

At Right Path, we’re not just automating tasks – we’re transforming your T&E function with AI-powered intelligence.

We begin by digitizing and streamlining the entire T&E lifecycle. From submission and approval to reimbursement and reporting, our solutions ensure every step is tracked, auditable, and efficient. Intelligent automation replaces manual bottlenecks and drastically cuts down processing time.

Our real-time policy integration helps employees stay compliant effortlessly. With built-in prompts and alerts, users are guided through compliant submissions as they enter expenses – reducing confusion and error before it happens.

Reimbursement cycles are dramatically improved with automated notifications, digital approvals, and integrated payment platforms that ensure employees are paid back promptly. This enhances satisfaction and boosts internal trust.

Our centralized dashboards turn raw data into actionable insights. With real-time analytics, you can quickly spot top spend areas, identify compliance issues, and uncover opportunities for cost optimization. No more guesswork—just smart decision-making.

Best of all, our ss scales as your business grows. Whether you’re managing off-season reimbursements or navigating year-end claims, our systems adjust dynamically to handle large volumes without sacrificing speed or accuracy.

Putting People First: The Human Side of T&E

At the heart of every expense report is a person—someone who’s travelled for business, followed policies, and expects a fair and timely process. At Right Path, we design T&E systems that work for people, not just processes. Our AI solutions remove friction, create transparency, and help your teams focus on what really matters: doing great work.

Let’s Build a Better T&E Process—Together

If your team is spending more time managing receipts than driving results, it’s time to make the switch. With Right Path Global Services Pvt. Ltd., you’ll move from outdated processes to intelligent automation, from frustration to efficiency, and from risk to control.

Stop wasting time with clunky spreadsheets. Let an Excel expert automate it

You open Excel to check a number.

Three hours later, you're still stuck – debugging formulas, reformatting cells, rebuilding what broke overnight.

Sounds familiar?

· The average professional loses 3 hours/day to spreadsheet chaos (Ventana Research)

· At just $75/hour, that's $1,125/week – more than $58,000/year – lost to admin work

· And 88% of spreadsheets contain errors that impact business decisions (Forbes)

That’s not a spreadsheet problem. That’s a systems problem.

And it’s costing you more than time – it’s costing you traction.

You’re trying to scale while patching together broken reports.

You’re delaying decisions because your data isn’t clean, timely, or trusted.

You’re doing founder-level thinking on top of intern-level cleanup.

This is the bottleneck no one talks about.

Let’s change this scenario.

A certified Excel expert could rebuild your entire workflow in a week:

· Automate reports

· Eliminate human error

· Create dashboards that update in real time

· Free up your calendar for actual strategy

Hiring one isn’t a luxury. It’s how entrepreneurs protect their margins – and their minds.

You can burn another month battling spreadsheets.

Or you can hire a Microsoft Excel expert and walk into Monday with answers – ready to scale.

Your mental bandwidth is worth more than CTRL+Z.

Heroes of whining

It’s amazing to watch how AI suddenly turned ordinary artists into holy sufferers.

“You’re doing so well, still drawing… despite AI…”

Well. Maybe it’s time to create similar appreciation posts for engineers, doctors, teachers, accountants, designers, biologists, lawyers, logistics specialists, marketers — all of whom learn new tools, frameworks, new medicines, protocols, research reports, laws, requirements, and interfaces every year.

You’re doing great too. But no one tells you:

“Despite spreadsheets looming over us, you’re doing amazing, sweetie.”

Here’s the reality: If you use AI as a tool — not a fetish of fear — you save time on drafts, base structure, and composition. And you can invest that time into quality, detail, and your own artistic magic.

Let’s break it down:

How does an artist work?

(One complex art piece — from idea to completion)

1. Concept. What’s the idea? Mood? Scene? Who’s in it, where’s the light coming from?

2. Sketches. 5–15 mini roughs or thumbnails. On paper or digital. A few hours to a whole day.

3. Composition. Black-and-white value layout. Masses, rhythm, focus, readability.

4. References. Photos, 3D base poses, perspective, textures, clothing — often hours of search.

5. Linework. Base outlines, underpainting, color blocking. Only then the “real” part starts.

6. Light, color, depth. Building atmosphere, spatial layers, focal contrast.

7. Character detailing. Eyes, hands, fabrics, expressions, skin, drapery, texture.

8. Background. Architecture, environment, plants, particles, reflections.

9. Micro-details. Dust in the light, droplets, stitching, jewelry, tiny surface effects.

10. Final polish. Merging, cleanup, final light tweaks, subtle accents.

🕓 Total: 30–50 hours. And still — compromises. Artists get exhausted by step 3. Backgrounds get flatter. Composition gets simplified. Details trimmed down. Because time and energy are limited.

Now imagine:

Steps 1–5 are done by AI. The artist gives direction, prompts, edits, references. But now they have all 30–50 hours for steps 6–10. And they’re not tired.

What’s the result?

— All effort goes into depth and quality, not grinding through sketchwork — More time for variations, storytelling, wild lighting decisions — Space to polish every surface: metal, skin, reflections, mood — Room for narrative in every corner of the scene

This isn’t laziness. It’s strategic effort management. The AI-assisted artist doesn’t skip the hard part — they just skip the routine part.

And yes — they both spent 40 hours. But one built from zero. The other built magic on top of a structure.

Now tell me: Which piece will be deeper? More detailed? More surprising? Which one will make people zoom in, explore, return to it again and again?

How to Clean Up Your Past Financial Records in Just One Weekend

Overview

In this guide, we’re going to walk you through a step-by-step plan to clean up your past financial records.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

How to prepare for your financial cleanup by blocking out a dedicated weekend

How to gather all your scattered financial documents—from receipts to bank statements—in one place

How to review and match transactions to receipts, invoices, or notes

How to save time by using an accounting tool like BDGAGSS or QuickBooks

How to categorize your expenses clearly for better bookkeeping and decision-making

What to do when records are missing and how to fill in the gaps with reasonable accuracy

How to create simple monthly summaries that show your income, spending, and cash flow

How to back up and organize everything safely for future taxation, payroll, or audits

Introduction

Still stuck under piles of old receipts, complicated, messy spreadsheets, and mystery charges? You’re definitely not alone. Whether you're prepping for tax season or just want to feel like you’re in control again, this guide will walk you through a simple weekend plan to get your accounting sorted. No fancy accounting degree needed—just some focus, a little effort, and a solid weekend hustle.

Step 1: Block Out the Weekend

Choose a weekend free from any other work. This isn’t something you want to squeeze in between errands. Make yourself comfortable—put on music, pour a cup of coffee (or something stronger), and treat this like a reset. Once you sit down and commit, the momentum will carry you.

Step 2: Gather Everything in One Place

Start by rounding up all your financial stuff—bank and credit card statements, receipts (paper or digital), invoices, notes scribbled on notepads... all of it. Don't worry about organizing it just yet. The goal is to get everything in front of you so you’re not constantly digging around.

Step 3: Match Up Transactions

Now comes the detective work. Go through your statements and match each transaction to a receipt, invoice, or note. Highlight or flag anything strange—duplicate charges, things you don’t remember, or missing info. This is where the real cleanup begins.

Step 4: Use Accounting software

This step can save you hours. Instead of manually entering everything, consider using a free or low-cost accounting platform. Platforms like BDGAGSS or QuickBooks allow you to link your bank accounts, categorize transactions, and even generate reports automatically.

Step 5: Sort and Label Your Expenses

Once things start making sense, begin grouping your expenses into categories—think marketing, software, travel, supplies, etc. Whether you’re doing this in a spreadsheet or in an app, keep your categories consistent and simple. You’re not trying to impress anyone—just make your finances easier to understand.

Step 6: Fill in the Gaps

Can’t find a receipt? Don’t panic. Just jot down what the transaction was for (as best as you can remember) and use your bank statement as backup. You’re not aiming for flawless—just accurate enough that your future self will understand it.

Step 7: Create a Monthly Snapshot

For each month, total up your income and your expenses. Subtract one from the other. Are you in the green or the red? These quick summaries can be real eye-openers—they’ll help you spot patterns and make smarter decisions moving forward. If you're using accounting software, this step becomes incredibly easy with auto-generated reports.

Step 8: Back Everything Up

Once you’re done, don’t just leave everything on your laptop’s desktop. Store it somewhere safe and easy to access—Google Drive, Dropbox, an external hard drive—whatever works for you. Organize files by month or category so you’re not hunting when tax season rolls around.

Wrapping It Up

Cleaning up your financial records might not sound fun, but it’s surprisingly satisfying. Once everything’s organized and backed up, tax season becomes less stressful, business decisions become clearer, and you just feel more in control. Give yourself one weekend, and let accounting tools do half the heavy lifting.

Timeliness is crucial when it comes to handling large-scale data. Whether you’re pulling customer records from a CRM, syncing orders between systems, or cleaning data at regular intervals, the ability to schedule these tasks automatically is a game-changer.

Automated data scheduling offered by Match Data Pro LLC allows users to plan and run tasks without manual oversight. You can set processes to execute daily, hourly, or based on specific triggers.

This kind of automation is particularly valuable for businesses with recurring workflows, such as eCommerce companies updating inventory, healthcare providers syncing patient data, or finance teams reconciling transactions. With Match Data Pro’s scheduling engine, every process runs on time, every time—freeing your team to focus on more strategic tasks.

Not every organization has the technical bandwidth to manage scripts or write code for everyday data operations. That’s where Match Data Pro truly shines with its suite of point-and-click data tools.

These tools allow users to configure, match, clean, and transform data using an intuitive graphical interface. Even complex operations like deduplication, field mapping, and rule-based filtering can be performed with just a few clicks—no coding necessary.

The result is faster project turnaround, fewer errors, and greater team collaboration. Plus, with customizable dashboards and drag-and-drop configuration options, users can visualize their workflows and make informed changes on the fly.

REST API Data Automation for Developers and Integrations

For teams that need greater flexibility and system integration, Match Data Pro offers robust REST API data automation.

Here are just a few real-world use cases:
