new monster hunter dedicated ramble blog! hello! do my posts show up in the tag yet omfg. Tumblr truly is hell. I promise I’m not a pornbot or a spammer, just let me interact with people...

current hyperfixation? monster hunter stories 2 >O> I just think nergigante is neat...

idek if anyone interacts on tumblr anymore since it’s been a while since I’ve done any sort of dedicated fanblog of any sort, but I’ll be sure to tag spoilers and keep em under a read more if I end up rambling about them.

I am not sure what people consider spoilers though. Plot, obviously, but what about the monstiepedia/postgame monsties? Companions? I’ll err on the side of caution, anyways.

Post-game has been pretty relaxing and going slowly. I’ve got 5 achievements left to get including finishing out the kinship gallery, completing my monsterpedia, completing the gene compendium, and getting the last catavan stands.

Gene compendium and monsterpedia seem to be the biggest nightmares of the bunch, as I can’t seem to find certain HR monsters for the life of me (rarest monster in the game being HR aptonoth??? please???) I’m missing maybe 30 entries in the monsterpedia and I don’t remember where I am on the gene compendium...

Kinship gallery is gonna be a bit of work, but I had been trying to keep at least 1 copy of every monster in my stables so it hasn’t been too awful so far. Just a lot of monster petting and bullying the same yian kut ku right outside mahana with my army of level 1 babies. I somehow must’ve dumped or sacrificed my only great baggi and congalala so far, so I’m gonna have to go grab eggs for those guys soon, but I think I have everyone else?

I think after I fill out my kinship gallery and grab the rest of the achievements, I’m just gonna spend all my postgame time hunting nergie eggs... :) my little elder eater... what a baby!!!! I’m sorry in advance to my poor stable paw for whatever stress this causes LOL.

Did anyone else not realize that the double kinship gallery only counts if you used Ratha with those companions? Because I was pretty bummed that I had to go through and get those again, even though I had definitely seen them before :/ smh.

I see a lot of nergigantes in online play and I feel a little basic, but I just really like this guy... it just really became my favorite monster after mhw and iceborne, and the ruiner nerg fight at MR100 had so much character. Absolutely the monster I was most hyped about from the trailers, and did not disappoint. 1000000/10.

shout out to that one person I played an SR expedition with who had an absolute unit of a popo. You’re also living your best life and I respect that immensely.

If anyone plays on PC/Steam and wants to do some SR expeditions together, hmu! I’ve got a few extra gold tickets/gold palamute tickets lying around :). I’ve already gotten copies of all the monsters in them, so I’m happy to host for anyone who needs em.

Warning in advance that I do kind of go through expeditions at my own pace and get all the chests, and if I see a monster i need for my monsterpedia/gear I most likely will pick a fight with it ahah. I genuinely don’t mind superfluous fights in expeditions, so feel free to do the same as well in my expeditions. If all you want to do is max efficiency bum-rush to the end, I am truly not the partner for you haha. That said, I’m decently high level and I think I’m able to carry people through most SR expedition fights barring the occasional disaster of rng, so if you haven’t done them before don’t worry :).

wow I’m really incapable of shutting up haha hello congrats on making it to the end.

the two biggest things i associate w you are soul eater and fight club, sooooo soul eater/fight club au? however that would work out?

give me a fic prompt and i’ll give you 500ish words for it

Where I am is a grimy church basement withGiriko’s hands on my throat. Not squeezing yet, but tight like he’s made up hismind. “Let go,” I gurgle. He gives me a big shark-teeth grin and starts onmy choking. 

Asshole.

My hands scrape and claw at his douchebag furlapels, and I can’t draw blood but fighting’s better than dying sosoon. “Pop quiz,” he says, knowing I can’t possibly answer. “Why doyou think this is happening?” 

Because I tried to stop him. Because I wasn’tfar enough in renouncing my faith to go along with his plans. Because even areformed priest knows how fucking stupid it is to kill God. Because I wasn’t upto his impossible standards and sorry, jackass, but I really am doing mybest. 

Where did I meet this absolute life-ruineragain? 

What I remember is my hands around some otherman’s throat like Giriko’s are pressed on my trachea. Me strangling the moronwho came sniffing around for a traitor. His eyes bulging. His face going blue.Some weirdo caked in hair gel and grease asking me “Shit, man, ever heardof fuckin’ anger management?” 

Joking, of course. He was so impressed by mytechnique for a murder. I learned it from him, probably, but it figures thathe’d be a narcissist. 

If I look back to where this all reallystarted, it was my bad taste that sealed the deal. Oh, sure, he was hideous. Hedrank like a fish and swore like a sailor and didn’t care what a weapon wasmeant for and I was absolutely, completely in love with hating him. It’s socliche, right? A whirlwind romance of all-out brawls and vicious curses andthen two weeks later he’s saying how I’m wasting my time fighting him. Biggerfish in the sea and all that.

Cut to us meeting Noah, buying the church,waiting for DWMA’s brats to storm empty castles. Cut to me asking Giriko if he’sreally smart enough to pull this kind of thing off. He laughs. He empties abottle. I don’t see the red flags he’s waving and tell him fine, I’m with youon this one.

Twomonths later, he’s trying to kill me.

Ikind of think I deserve it.

Bloodoozes from the slant of my lips and I think Giriko, you’re going to die whenyou kill me. He barks a laugh like an engine starting.

It’sright then that I realize that my partner in crime has a death wish.

Fuckyou, I think. Die if that’s what you want; go back to whatever hole you crawledout of, but I’m not part of that fantasy. I get to live. I want to live. Hesneers, and I can tell he’s wondering when I started on that yuppie shit.

HowI met Giriko was midway through my own murder-suicide.

Wego out the same way we came in.
