I think one of the funniest things about the priorities of my creation is that in a mech I am excellent at my job, while out of my mech I am a mess of genetic mistakes. You would think I would be any kind of useful out of a war machine, but my vision is actually quite poor even with ocular implants and I require mobility aids to get around outside my mech. I suppose physical fortitude isn’t so important as mental fortitude for a thing like me.

[festivevow]

I've gotta' get to mobile for now, but I'll get to maybe poking some inboxes, sending some starters, whenever I'm able! I always really dislike showing, or talking about, anything I like; I have a weird sort of insecurity about it, so thank you guys for not minding me indulging with giving my gal her own blog.

- H-hello again, Opossum! Tis once more thine friend of House Hurst. I um. Would like to apologize for mine lack of contact. Things hath been... t-tense here...

- In any case, I have r-read some of thine recent posts! The planet thou art on sounds beautiful! But cold, as well... I am used to warmer climes, I know not that I would last long there...

- O-oh right! Mine reason for addressing thee! In mine off time I have been doing restoration work upon the cassette tape! :D

- The thing has dirt and sand encrusted upon it like thou wouldst not believe, but I do belive with more time I should see it function once more! I am so very excited for you to see it!

- G-good tidings out there!

[Now Playing - “Opossum”]

Ah hello there! Long time no see, well, hear I suppose! Just so you know, there’s no reason for you to apologize buddy! If anything it’s my fault for not reaching out again since last time. I noticed that your sister regained her access to the account and was planning a little bit of a rebellion over in the baronies, commendable work honestly! I can only imagine how stressful that must be on you though, make sure to take care of yourself in the meantime. I mean that. It’s times like these that you really need to take a moment and spend it with those you love. You might not get the chance to later, although I sure hope that’s not the case!

<Theres a brief pause, it seems “Opossum” pondered something for a moment before continuing.>

U-XVII really is quite a cold place, just yesterday it was about -57 degrees! Although it can be dangerous on the surface because of that bitter cold, the wind will make it much much worse. Most of the time we camp out in natural caves or build igloos with our mechs to help block it. The real secret to surviving out here though is heated gear. Just about every inch of my hardsuit is fitted with a heater, without it I would surely lose a finger or two to frostbite! Honestly though, you do get used to living out in these conditions, and it’s well worth the struggle to see the planet’s true beauty! Enough rambling though, now let’s get to the fun stuff.

<The sound of shifting can be heard, as if someone just leaned forward in a seat or something similar>

So, before we talk anything about the current condition of the tape I want to confirm that you did in fact do your research before beginning restoration work. I trust you did, after all you seem rather well informed, and understand you are a historian of sorts, so the importance of this object isn’t lost on you. One thing I will recommend is that you make sure to keep it away from anything magnetic, or really electronics in general. Without proper protection from those devices it could threaten erasing the data on it. That being said, I am so absolutely jealous that I can’t be there to help restore it! I can just imagine how exciting it will be to listen to the first time! I wonder what songs are on it? Did it have a label? Oooh actually I’m not sure I want to know, it’ll be such a fun surprise! I’m just dying of anticipation out here! I promise that the first thing I’m doing after I get off this planet, will be hitching a ride through the nearest blink gate straight to…Crossland wasn’t it? Anyways, I don’t make promises lightly, and sure as hell don’t break them. I will come to claim that cassette one day, no matter what happens.

P.XV “Opossum”, talk again soon?

[Next Up - “Raymond..?”]

very minor change,but having geralt carrying 2 swords on his back vs 1 In my icon makes me feel so much better

[jueying]

i would much rather have a cohesive outfit vs a super elaborate one for the sake of being elaborate.

both yunli and jiaoqiu have outfits that fit their themes and roles - yunli's has roots in actual tang dynasty dancer designs and jiaoqiu's clothing being more uniform-esque given his position as an actual counselor makes sense. i do see the point that they're both five stars but also, i think hsr designs for both 4 and 5 stars have had similar levels of care and design so the distinction between the two - at least design wise (and tbh sometimes kit wise) is much smaller than most other games.

either way, super excited for both!

[sidestriker]

also, while i do incorporate SOME things about striker's portrayal in season 2 (notably that he's more irritable and snappish when he's not purposefully putting on the charm), i really don't LIKE that the only character in the show who's actually been shown to give much of a damn about the wider social structures in hell was suddenly portrayed as like a power-hungry overly-violent sadist (as opposed to his first introduction, where he's thrilled to take a shot at the goetia but not particularly OBSESSED with causing pain and making their lives miserable or doing anything beyond proving that imps can be just as strong as any other demon), so that's why you're not going to be seeing much of that from me at all.

[siddunbi]

so completely self indulgent

[raitrolling]

Belamy is aro but not ace (hes demisexual) so while he has no interest in romance quadrants aren't entirely out of the question. but like, literally why would you want to that man is literally toxic

[dethglory]

As much as Red knows a lot of things, and a lot of things about his wife, I'm not about to embarrass both of us bc I sure as fuck suck at math.

[chantlight]

Anthony and Cassandra were "arrested" alongside their parents and spent days in prison with them before Vestalus was allowed to collect them. Cassandra has never forgotten that.
