Had a silly thought about @somerandomdudelmao himbo and had to draw it quickly to get it out of my system, lol. I am very interested in seeing whether or not he actually gets eaten or somehow succeeds at scoring an alien sweetheart.

All right, Genshin Impact people, I get it. I understand why there's a fandom. I've gotten more into the story, I've gotten to know the characters, and I've gotten rather addicted. The world's very fun to explore, and from what I can tell so far, every single character in this universe is mega neurodivergent.

But now I make a plea for help. A few weeks back, I started the Trails of Tianqiu quest, naive the horror I was about to enter and unaware that this quest locked you out of co-op until its completion. Thus, my game has been soft-locked ever since, especially since I can no longer ascend characters since I can't beat bosses solo.

The last time I was stuck on a quest I drove a few hours round-trip so my brother could beat it for me. Unfortunately that's not an option anymore as he is in rehab now, so I've gone to the internet. And so far the GI players of Discord, Reddit, and the official player forums have made it very clear that they do not like giving advice to anyone who has not very carefully studied the characters' stats to meticulously optimize their build from the very beginning.

So, I'm hoping Tumblr people will be nicer. I still have absolutely no clue how I'm ever going to finish the climbing challenge (hell, I still haven't even managed to beat that time trial near the Stormbearer Mountains where you just have to climb the spiral staircase outside of that little building - that's how bad I am at orientating myself in video games - so I may just have to wait until my brother's out of rehab for that one), but I can at least see if I can get some advice for the third floor battle with the cryo mage and slimes.

These are the characters that I currently have:

Traveler, level 60

Kaeya, level 58

Yanfei, level 57

Amber, level 56

Noelle, level 50

Ningguang, level 50

Chongyun, level 50

Lisa, level 50

Barbara, level 50

Xiao, level 40

Lynette, level 40

Diona, level 40

Yaoyao, level 40

Gaming, level 40

Xiangling, level 34

Sayu, level 20

Dori, level 20

Kuki Shinobu, level 20

Kujou Sara, level 20

I'm world level 3, currently AR 35 (don't want to ascend until I get this quest out of the way since increasing the world level will only make it that much harder), and play on mobile (my laptop is a piece of junk when it comes to gaming).

Anyone have any advice on some sort of strategy I can use?

gonna fuckin fight some children again so here we go:

people older than 20 get to be in fandom. people older than 25 get to be in fandom. people older than 30 get to be in fandom. you know who writes those 100k+ magical fanfics that you consume, for free?? adults. you know who has protected, shepherded, and guided fandom for DECADES, starting in the days of zines that were sent secretly in snail mail because we didn't have online communities? ADULTS. you know what KIND of adults in particular were pioneers of fandom?? ADULT FUCKING WOMEN. women in their thirties. women in their forties. women in their fifties, sixties, and seventies.

it's one thing if someone is being predatory towards young people online and they are an adult. it is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THING if a grown-ass person is just sitting and having fun in fandom and children come into our inboxes and tell us we shouldn't be here. child, YOU would not be here if not for us. I as a thirty year old genderqueer would not be here if not for MY fandom elders guiding me and keeping me safe through my DECADES on this godforsaken fucking website and in fandom generally. you know who protected me and helped me learn how to be a positive influence in my fandom spaces??? ADULTS IN FANDOM.

so sit your asses down and learn something.

I just read an analysis that said kurogiri is solely Aizawa's villain and now I'm pissed. If I'm still this angry after work I'll go through and post all the evidence that he isn't.

A couple of days ago I found out that it's well-known among elderly people that when people with senility/dementia go into group homes, they often pair up into relationships. Even if they're already married.

Because they don't remember that they're married. Even if their spouse is visiting every day. They just start 'dating' someone else.

This made me more sad than was reasonable.

[Let me be clear that the people who I was talking to, including one whose husband of ~50 years has just entered such a home, were totally fine with the whole idea. She hopes he finds someone there to make his time more pleasant. But I'm still sad so I had to curse you all with this knowledge.]

An AU where nobody died and a "triple date" AU where Eddie goes out with Chrissy, Billy with Heather, and Steve with Robin.

Eddie and Chrissy as an established straight couple; they've just gotten engaged and they naturally want to celebrate it among good friends.

Heather and Robin as a fresh lesbian couple who can't keep their eyes off each (insert here a flirty Heather and a blushy Robin).

Billy and Steve as a long-time gay couple who desperately try to hide their relationship even though their friends can see through them, who act as "beards" and bodyguards for their gay female besties against raging homophobes.

They've reserved a table at a fine Chinese restaurant - having a wonderful time dining and drinking together. Reminiscing the 'good old times' at Hawkins High (jokingly of course), and jointly planning a road trip somewhere nice and warm and most of all, far far away.

The Upside Down and the monsters are finally defeated and gone, and the group can relax at last and focus on their lives and planning their future. Chrissy no longer lives with her shitty mother; Billy no longer lives with his shitty father. Steve no longer feels sad and lonely and undecided because he's finally found the love of his life in Billy. The same goes for Robin who's in turn found her solid rock and happiness in Heather.

Eddie keeps dorking around and making stupid jokes around Chrissy who can't stop giggling at him, and finally rests her ginger head against his shoulder. Billy and Heather keep stealing food from each other's plates and they spit in each other's drinks, trying to disgust each other (consequently, disgusting the others around them as well). Steve and Robin are the only ones trying to act like adults at their table but they're having a hard time trying to keep a poker around their silly, childish friends and boyfriend/girlfriend.

After finishing dinner, Eddie pays for everything and as a charitable man and a gentleman at heart, tips the waiter as well, and they all exit the restaurant, full and tipsy. With arms around each other's shoulders, they all start loudly singing drunken songs into the night while they keep walking towards the taxi stand. And since Steve's still living with his parents - in his big mansion with guestrooms and all - and his parents are out on a trip, they all go there to spend the rest of the night.

It's seems that at least twice a week this site will make me feel an unloveable freak who deserves hate and death.

Because being cis is such a reprehensible crime here, it seems. I'm cis myself (I think I'm cis?? I can't experiment with it now) and bisexual and yet I still feel unwelcome, no matter how many times people tell me otherwise, I still feel like an outsider who shouldn't be here, when everyone else is having the best of fun

I'm just..... I'm so tired of feeling like this all the time. I can't make it stop

When I was 18, I attended The American Academy of Dramatic Arts. I did not get invited back for a second year. This used to devastate me. I didn't understand why they didn't think I worked hard enough, and I thought this meant I couldn't be an actor. This heavily set back my career as an actor and in my confidence in my acting ability.

Now look back on that time and my view is a little different. I was only 18. I was fresh out of high school and fresh out of my mother's house. I didn't know I had Fibromyalgia yet I just had heavy unexplained pain and fatigue that caused me to be able to practice outside of class a lot less often as my peers. I had just gone off my ADHD medication for the first time in my whole life. I know this was dumb of me, but I couldn't keep getting it in LA. I never figured out how to get it without my mom's help who lived elsewhere. If you know anything about AADA, you know about the 50-page bios. (I have the demigod mixture ADHD and dyslexia) my dyslexia made IPA for Voice and Speech really hard for me, so there were assignments I didn't do well.

I was also finally out of my mother's house for the First Time. I moved from a conservative mountain town to West Hollywood. I was away from my abusive mom, able to do whatever I wanted in a big city. I went out a lot. I should not have done this, but eh, what are you gonna tell an 18 year old in this situation. I imagine that me using my limited energy for going dancing or to Disneyland every weekend was hurting my ability to practice outside of class as often as I should have.

I'm not trying to defend myself and say that I should have gotten invited back. I'm 24 now, and I'm turning 25 next month. It's been 7 years, and I can finally admit that they should not have invited me back. That version of me was not ready. I was never rested, unmedicated, undiagnosed, and unfocused. I wish more than anything that I waited for now to go to acting school. I wish so badly that I could go back now that I feel like I can truly actually do it well. But I can't. I already did it at 18 and fucked it up. I don't know how I'm gonna get acting training like that again. I haven't properly acted in years so I really need it. I'm gonna have to get an acting class on Skillshare or something.

The moral of the story is do not go to college right out of high school even if you know exactly what you want to do already. Let yourself grow into your adult life first and do it when you're ready, or you will be sorry!
