Just three awkward, lovable, bearded nerds going through their own midlife crisis💖

My sources say they're the same person. And I stand by them🧐👆

Harvey (SDV), Gale (BG3), and Raj (Coral Island) aka the love of my life.

Me: "Rafael is really cute, but maybe I should hold out for Semeru because whooo boy. But also Millie and Macy are adorable. Urgh. I can't-"

Luke: *pun names a tree he plants*

Me: "...fucking no, NO, I'M ROMANCING THE RICH BOY-"

I completed @coral-nerd's farmer questionnaire. Farmer OC info dumps below the cut.

Emily (she/her)

How does your farmer feel about:

Farming: Farming is very therapeutic once she gets comfortable with it. At first she’s afraid her depression will cause her to lapse in care for the crops and for them to die as a result. This is not completely inaccurate as especially bad depression slumps can make her lapse on care. However it does become pretty routine for her and she doesn’t suffer too many casualties. Once she’s able to get her hands on some sprinklers she feels much more comfortable keeping up with the non-daily tasks like weeding and treating for disease.

Mining: Emily loves Mining. She finds a lot of comfort in the caves. She had always struggled with staying fit and has found mining to be the best work-out routine she’s ever had. While nothing else ever seemed to stick, the breaking down and hauling of materials from the mine makes her muscles burn and her clothes become soaked with sweat but she ends up almost always having fun the entire time she does it. Emily enjoys the mines as a napping location and spends a lot of time there especially when her social battery is on low.

Foraging: This is the task that gets Emily moving around the island more than anything else. She goes foraging around once a week and finds the quiet and travel relaxing. 

Catching: Emily does not enjoy bug catching. While she doesn’t necessarily find bugs gross she really doesn’t like running around all day and finds it rather unnecessary. Being able to complete the museum collection is about all that gets her motivated to attempt it at all. She finds it frustrating when bugs frequently get away from her.

Fishing: This is one of Emily’s favorite activities, especially when she can post up under the shade of a tree. The trance-like nature of fishing is something that helps her recover some spoons and getting to cook up a fresh dinner out of it is always something she’s happy to do.

Ranching: Emily falls in love with ranching. Taking care of her animals gets her out of bed and feeling good about life more than anything else. She takes the details of her animal care very seriously holding their welfare, diet, and health above her own. She has a special interest in genetics and starts breeding projects on her farm.

Combat: Emily feels uncomfortable with the idea at first but it gives her an absolute rush. After the first time she’s hooked. Being engaged with something that so immediately demands her attention can break her out of what otherwise could be slumps or spirals. She’s also pretty darn good at it as well. She’s very happily a member of the Band of Smiles. Taking on missions to deal with the monster populations and protect others gives her a sense of purpose.

Diving: Emily refuses to dive. She went ahead and tried it once and nearly came out with a panic attack. The weight of the water pushing in on her, the extra effort to breathe against that pressure made her feel like the whole ocean was threatening to destroy her. She will go ahead and stay on the beach.

Interacting with the Islanders: Emily does crave community, bonds, and togetherness but does not enjoy meeting new people. Luckily Alice and Suki are some more familiar faces. She honestly avoids most social interaction but she made a promise to herself on not isolating and making an effort via delivering every single resident flowers for their birthday. She is terribly awkward at this and definitely still isolates. Overtime some of the townies are able to get closer to her.

Other:

What is their decor style? Emily has never been able to get motivated when it comes to decorating, her home matches herself by being somewhat depressing. This is definitely something she needs a positive influence on her life for.

Who's their love interest? TBD

What's their favorite thing to grow? She likes to grow things that she herself will eat most. Not every crop out there suits her tastes and the victory of growing them feels less tangible when she doesn’t get to experience some of the end product in a meal.

What's their favorite animal? Her favorite livestock animal is cows.

Bonus! What do you associate with your farmer in these categories:

Color: Orange

Season: Fall

Metal: Gold

Indy (they/he)

How does your farmer feel about:

Farming: Indy moved to Coral Island chiefly for the intent of growing, and selling, marijuana. At first they are reluctant on the whole vegetable gardening part of things but that does definitely help them prepare the soil and earn some money to start with. They do enjoy tending plants though and quickly get over any misgivings about not moving to Coral Island to grow food. Even when they are able to start cultivating their intended crop they continue growing rotating crops for the soil health, for the fresh food, and to keep supplying Sam.

Mining: Indy feels relatively indifferent to mining. The work doesn’t really bother them but they do enjoy getting to discover new things from the geodes found mining.

Foraging: Indy enjoys foraging a lot. They prefer it to farming and being in nature is something he values a lot.

Catching: Indy keeps their net on them at all times. They enjoy watching insects and springing after them. Indy however is very eco-concious and only begins catching regularly after consulting Eleanor on if any populations need to be protected and if any need managing and removal. They enjoy cooking with insects and raising crickets for cooking becomes a staple for them.

Fishing: Indy must be in a particular mood to enjoy fishing. Typically fishing feels much too boring and they end up struggling with under-stimulation. When they are feeling chill and wanting to relax in the sand though it’s nice to do it on the side. In most scenarios they prefer relaxing in the forest though.

Ranching: Indy enjoys ranching but gets into it mostly as a way to supplement his growing. To further offset their ecological impact of operations their main motive is actually obtaining manure on the farm so they can make a fairly closed loop system and don’t have to import fertilizer nearly so much.

Combat: Indy profusely refuses to participate in combat. They will bring a dagger into the mines since there’s insistence they must have some form of weapon but they very seldom use it. If for whatever reason they need monster parts they buy off of Mark or Kira instead. They do still need access to deeper levels of the mine though so they make slow progress and habituate the monsters to their presence instead. They are uncomfortable with the idea of coming into their home and not treating them with respect. They understand the need for culls to happen though but they leave that to those who want to fight.

Diving: Indy takes diving as one of their most important tasks. Being able to heal nature in such a visible way is something they wouldn’t trade for the world. They honestly let the whole farming thing fall to the wayside when given a task like this.

Interacting with the Islanders: Indy, like everyone, needs some time to themself and time with others. Indy is fairly outgoing in whatever interactions they find themself in but don’t do a lot of intentional connection making. Prone to periods of frequently being seen in social hotspots and periods of not being seen at all.

Other:

What is their decor style? Indy can be inconsistent with it. Different decor items seem to be from different themes. Sometimes they decide to decorate with a specific vision but usually it’s just a mishmash of anything they like with comfy places to sit or tuck away being a must.

Who's their love interest? TBD

What's their favorite thing to grow? Their specialty is marijuana. 

What's their favorite animal? They like chickens the most.

💭 + medical advancements

Topical Headcanons

Unohana is eternally fascinated by the Living World's ability to innovate its medicinal knowledge and technology, considering that they do not have the benefit of Crazy Ghost Magic. She keeps a close eye on how medical technology develops over the years, where it only seems to strengthen and where it falls short. She attempts to puzzle out what useful portions of it can be replicated with Kaido and which require good ol' pharmaceutics. She also has to consider whether the treatment (or even the issue being treated) are actually applicable for souls; not every problem that can afflict a soul is treatable using mundane means. Sometimes, there is no choice other than Crazy Ghost Magic.

Even so, she likes to keep her supply of medicines as Up-To-Date as she can, barring a little alteration via Soul Society's typical Crazy Ghost Science (which is, of course, completely distinct from its Crazy Ghost Magic). While Kaido can do a great deal, sometimes it really is better to let someone heal the old fashioned way, and the Living World's limitations have given birth to some truly startling discoveries. It's one of those things that never gets old or loses its luster for her; it is a part of her job that never grows stale.

In other words, medical advancement is rad as hell.

Today was the last session of my dnd group's first mini arc, and as a thanks and also belated birthday gift, my friends/players got me fossilized coral dice. I love them (both my friends and the dice).

[burr-sting]

Damien had always wanted to use a sword. So noble and dashing in those books his mother had tried to keep him from reading - a distraction, according to her, but now quite clearly about to come in handy. He grinned as he picked one up, then nearly fell over at the weight. He hadn't expected to need two hands, and Damien looked around quickly to make sure no one had seen. Luckily, it seemed everyone was off doing their own thing. Damien was on his own. He gave a few quick lunges, though he wasn't sure if he was making any impact or progress, so he made his way over to a training dummy, and a trainer.

"I'd like to use that, if you don't mind?" he asked, pointing to the dummy. "Do I need to check it out, like a book at a library, or can I just have at it?"

Consider: the sea anemones are attached to reefs and need to be in the ocean or they’ll die

Consider: the edo tensei Nidaime Mizukage could summon a clam in the middle of a goddamn desert and it was fine

Along with

Kisame has been shown to summon sharks on dry land, and the sharks are essentially in a mobile water prison

As well as

The summons in Naruto are canonically capable of incredibly bullshit things that ignore literally anything the actual animal is capable of
