[lqtraintracks]

Omg it's reveals!!!! I was so excited to participate in @hd-erised this year again! I loved writing this fic for the completely lovely @xx-thedarklord-xx (a little more on that below) and being a part of everything with all the other kickass participants (I will be reblogging my incredible gift art again later as well because HOLY SHIT Y'ALL)! I want to thank the mods so very much for running things so smoothly, putting in countless hours of hard work, and being awesome!

The super talented @nv-md made this gorgeous banner! Thank you so much; you know I was a'flailing! She was also my beta along with yet another rockstar, @capipuff, and I can't thank the two of you enough! <3333 Okay onward with the deets!

Tattoos; creatures; soulmates; magical theory; Neville, Goyle, and Luna; 'Maybe Harry is a lesson Draco didn't know he needed'; 'Plotting by friends brings them together'; and 'Opposites that discover that not everything is quite what it seems. The things that separate them also bring them together and show their dichotomy.' Those were all the things I tried to cram in here, and I had SO MUCH FUN doing it! You were a pleasure to write for. Also, there is a spoiler tag in the end notes if any of you are the sort who can’t stand not knowing! It’s not anything in relation to any of the major archive warnings or other content warnings, though, rest assured. I think it's better to go in not knowing right off the bat. ;) Anyway, enough talk! Enjoy! <333

The quality of the uploads on here is so much better than insta. Holy shit, man, I never thought I’d see the day that my followers could experience my art in full HD.

[thebleedingeffect]

i am so SO excited you're playing skyward sword. skwsd is my absolute fav zelda game, and i love skysd link so much, he is my little guy, my dude, the love of my life. how are you liking it? how far are you?

I'm enjoying skyward sword immensely!! Admittedly, at first I was little hesitant to get super into the game pass the intro forest temple because of how decisive this game seems to be. People seemed to either hate or be neutral to this game but I decided to play it anyway cause I do love loz and it seemed fun!! But I'm genuinely happy that I decided to play it anyway despite what the louder part of the loz community has said cause I'm truly enjoying myself a bunch.

The npcs are super animated and I love how much personality they have, even the rude ones, it just makes me happy to see how animated and diverse in personality that skyloft is! I love the little remlits and just how damn cute they are <33 I legit refuse to hurt them or throw them off cliffs they're so so cute I adore them!! Another thing that I like is that the game gives you a bunch of incentive to help fellow npcs and it gives you great rewards for doing so. It makes me actually want to look around skyloft and talk to people which is even better cause it gives me more opportunities to learn of the npcs!

I also fucking LOVE the dowsing feature, it's genuinely so great and helps me out a bunch in wanting to find objects naturally and not wanting to resort to guides. It's just nice cause I can stay in the game and find stuff at my own pace :]

ANOTHER THING!! I love how fucking COLORFUL everything is!! I am playing the HD version on the switch so I know the graphics are improved but even still! The environments and dungeons are all so pretty to look at and I llooovveedddd the ancient cistern :DDD also going back to skyward sword made me remember how much I love classic dungeon crawlers and how much I missed them in botw/totk </333 the puzzles are also very fun and are well-designed so that's a massive plus.

And uh... I've made it to the part where sksw Zelda meets with sksw Link after he managed to get all of the goddesses flames and tells him the whole deal. I genuinely did not expect for that entire scene to hit me as hard as it did but I'm really happy I managed to avoid spoilers for this long cause holy shit, holy shit. That entire conversation is so expertly written and I love how it characterizes the both of them, how they were both forced to grow up out of desperation. sksw Zelda telling Link that she was so sorry that she used him and his devotion to her?? That she knew that he would chase after her no matter what and she couldn't stay or tell him anything because the world needed a hero? That she was so sorry but she had to do it because it wasn't just them anymore, they had grown up and now the responsibility of the world was on their shoulders.

The little line of her saying that she would've been so happy to just with him on Skyloft for all their days and that she holds those memories so dear to her is just an absolute gut punch. It's so expertly written cause I feel like it would've been so easy to make her into a selfish, cruel character thanks to this conversation, but it's so wonderfully done that I fully understand why she did it. It's a case of fate demanding the worse of choices into their hands and they can do absolutely nothing about it because for as much as they love each other- neither of them could sit back and watch the world suffer. Of course, what she did wasn't good but that's the point! She hates herself for having to lie and cause him pain, for dragging him into this because she could see no other to ever be her hero.

The tragic thing is that I very much doubt it was ever in sksw Zelda's control, I think that sksw Link was always meant to be the hero and fate has a heavy hand in this game. Her motivations sort of remind me of oot Zelda's actually, blaming herself for circumstances out of her control, having to constantly stay out of reach, and having to grow up so fast. Both of them had to be the lights on the horizon that directed their heroes, but always just out of reach because he's the hero and she's the goddess, it's always so much bigger than either of them.

I've only gotten this far yet but god, GOD! This isn't even half my thoughts about the entire deal but Zelda constantly going back and forth from referring to herself with Zelda and Hylia?? Ouch??? The sudden instability of your own image... of feeling like everything you've ever known has been predestined... do you hate yourself for your past actions in another life? Do you hate her-you- for this inevitable fate that you and your hero are doomed to for reasons that you'll always blame yourself for? Does she hate herself even more that Link did exactly that, run after her, prove Hylia-herself- right? Does she feel responsible for all the physical, emotional, and mentall pain that Link has grown through in order to become the hero that the world needs? For forcing him to grow up with her when all they ever wanted was to be together and be torn apart at every single point?

Do NOT get me started on sksw Link oh my ggogoodosso ad dwshdi HELP! He's so fucking TRAGIC and PAINFUL TO EVEN THINK ABOUT! How every single person he meets he always tells them that he's looking for someone and he always seems to be in a hurry because he can't be late, not again. The sheer desperation, the unapologetic love, the personality, the inherent sacrificial nature, always looking into the past while running after Zelda- HELP ME!!! But I think one of the most painful parts to me... is that I really don't think Link blames Zelda at all, for any of it. How painful of a thought is it that I think he'd be perfectly open splitting himself on the master sword for her and he wouldn't blame her on his last breath? Would she believe him? Would she believe that she singlehandedly orchestrated the death of her hero after putting him through so much pain?

Another thing is that he isolates himself, he helps people whenever he can but there's so much guilt and isolation swirling around in him as well as the crushing weight of his destiny that he just realized. One key theme I find in the game is that early on it's stated that Link is different, from everything from the knight's academy, to Impa telling him only he can do it, to Groose trying and failing to be that hero. It doesn't feel like a blessing, it feels like a destiny he could've never avoided and he was always going to be the hero who's blood was split to protect others. Link was always going to be the one who ends up alone while everyone else stays in the past, together but eternally waiting for him- or moreso, waiting for the hero that he's forced to become. It genuinely makes me so sad that he only had Fi for the longest time but even then... she's not much more than a guide, at least at first. I really don't feel like he'd be comfortable or even believe that Fi would understand, not when she's under even stricter instructions than him.

So yeah uhhhhhhhh you could say I'm enjoying the game a bunch!! I'm waiting to finish the game before talking a BUNCH about it on the dash and flooding my blog with sksw reblogs but I'm enjoying myself so much!! Also I just missed the triforce so so much- DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH I RESENTED THE SECRET STONES FOR TAKING MY BABYGIRL THE TRIFORCE AWAY??? I literally do not care about the secret stones, bring back the triforce I love her so so soooooo much and every single time I see any sort of triforce imagery I start crying and throwing up !

Ladies and gentlemen

my official essay on why I love Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII Because I'm fucking insane over him. You cannot stop me

The best way I can begin this off is with how Cloud is basically someone, imo, that can be easily relatable. A tough douchebag with an awkward and soft interior. A guy who once looked up to someone and wanting to be like him someday(yes I'm talking about Sephiroth). A kid who's often been alienated from other kids only because he was "different." I, myself specifically, find these elements of him very relatable. Being that I've been treated differently due to races and language as a kid, looks up to others wishing to be like them, and is someone incredibly sensitive but is expected to be stronger. Aside from my bitchass since this ain't about me- I wouldn't say that him being easily relatable is the only thing that would make him lovable. Cloud somehow always finds the strength to keep going, doesn't matter where that fire comes from, from his past, his friends, himself maybe, it's always there, yeah SOLDIERs are buff n all but not as buff as Cloud's will I swear. Yes, he has wanted to give up before, if I remember from AC he wanted to die from geostigma, yes, he's lost so much to that one winged fuck it seems like it's the end for him that he'd collapse, but nope, the man's always on his feet and gonna kick your ass whether it's now or later, I mean fuck he's been fighting the same villain since he was 16. In my eyes there's a lot of emotion that goes into how much he's lost and it's fucking perfect to me that it makes me want to go blind from crying holy shit. He lost his home, his closest friends Zack and Aerith(or lover, cuz, yk, Aerith is a romantic choice for the player. Same goes for Tifa as well), and that's just enough for me to have chronic depression bc of how much it means to him. I, really, really, really love Cloud. He's such a comfort and though he's not perfect, m'man got flaws, but you know what? Those too are perfect as fuck to me. I love his awkwardness, his shyness, his dorkiness you name it. Yes, being a hard asshole is not a great role model to be, but you don't have to be political icon just to give a life changing advice.

"Kid, if you wanna be champion, you just gotta keep working at it. Find something you enjoy and stick with it. Put your heart and soul into getting better. It's as simple as that"

*Dreamy sigh* In conclusion, loving him is an understatement for me. But then again, idk how else to explain it, I'm just so happy that this pixelated chocobo on hd exists, it's enough to make me feel better whenever I'm stressed or sad, and honestly, it's been helping lately, a lot. What once started out as some hot dude in smash bros really turned into a huge comfort, and, admittedly I embarrassingly have a fictional crush on this man, yes I'm insane.

Happy Birthday Cloud Strife 💕

That time again; more villainous found family quotes!

Gothel: Yesterday, I overheard Dawn saying “Are you sure this is a good idea?” and Ernesto replying “Trust me,” and I have never moved from one room to another so quickly in my life.

Dawn: I hate taking off my glasses, because without them, my vision goes from Full HD all the way down to buffering at 240p and I just can't handle that.

Hans: Why are your tongues purple?

Prof. Callaghan: We had slushies. I had a blue one.

Charles: I had a red one.

Hans: oh.

Hans:

Hans: OH.

Turbo:

Turbo: You drank each other's slushies?

Dawn: You know what’s funny about Ernesto? He's my best friend, and anyone who’d hurt him is someone I’d murder, probably.

Syndrome: You’d be stupid to lay a hand on me.

Randall: Oh, you’d be surprised how much stupid shit I do.

Ernesto: We all have our demons.

Ernesto, grabbing Dawn: This one’s mine.

Prof. Callaghan: So what’s the plan?

Randall: I don’t know. You’re smart, *points at Charles* he's mean, come up with something.

Syndrome: Regular soda is too sweet!

Turbo: Diet soda has a weird after taste!

Syndrome: No! Ugh, oh my god. Diet soda is THE BEST! It doesn't have sugar! It's SPICY!

Turbo: It has other weird stuff in it! I'll take REGULAR sugar in my REGULAR soda!

Syndrome: It's SO SWEET like it's a dessert though! Diet feels more like a drink!

Turbo: I'm going to physically attack you.

Syndrome: Which is better, Gothel?

Gothel: Oh, I usually drink water!

Turbo: Wha- NO!

Syndrome: DISGUSTING!

Syndrome: Vegetable oil is made from vegetables, coconut oil is made from coconuts, so BABY OIL-

Hans: CAN'T WE JUST HAVE A NICE FAMILY DINNER FOR ONCE?!

Dawn: Holy shit, Charlie, do you know what this means?!

Charles: Kid, whenever you start doing this, nobody knows what you mean.

Hans: It’s funny how well you and Randall get along. Didn’t he hate you at first?

Turbo: Randall hates everybody at first. It’s his way of reaching out to people.

Hans: What the hell were you thinking?

Charles: I heard releasing birds at a wedding is romantic!

Hans: You released OSTRICHES!

Hans: What did you two do?

Dawn:

Ernesto:

Hans: You’re not in trouble, I just need to know if I have to lie to the police again or not

Prof. Callaghan: We just ate. Why are you making pancakes?

Charles: For the dogs.

Prof. Callaghan: Why are you making pancakes for the dogs?

Charles: They don't know how.

Hans: Randall, you're testifying in an aggravated assault case tomorrow, and the D.A. is worried about how you'll present yourself on the stand.

Randall: Why? I'm fine on the stand!

*flashback to Testimony #1*

Randall: Look, I'll make this real simple so even these dumdums can understand.

Randall, to the jury: MAN DID CRIME.

*flashback to Testimony #2*

Randall: I'm sorry, could you make her stop doing that weird thing with her face?

Defense Attorney, next to the crying defendant: ...Crying?

*flashback to Testimony #3*

Randall: And when this is over, I'm gonna find you and I'm gonna break those little fingers.

Judge: Could the witness please stop threatening the stenographer?

[nukenai]

sorry this is just gonna be me talking a bit about my experience playing live a live vs how i feel about something that’s been dear to my soul since i was 5 years old (pokemon). Slight LAL spoilers I guess lmao.

The big word I can use to describe Live A Live is REFRESHING. Me, personally, I am such a fan of sprite work. I love sprites. Black and White I think are the most visually appealing Pokemon games. I really can’t even say I minded the XY style... I think ORAS really, really benefited from how beautiful it was, and I’m glad I was able to see Hoenn remade in 3D. The experience is unmatched.

But.

I think that the switch to 3D models loses a lot of style. I think it loses a lot of, let’s say class. I played a bit of the FF4 remake and ooh, boy. I get it. I get why they want to switch to 3D models. But I can’t even express how overjoyed I am that they did NOT do that with Live A Live. They didn’t go with chunky, clunky, ugly polygonal chibis or even worse, realistically proportioned 3D models. I can’t IMAGINE what a nightmare that would’ve been.

Instead they took a game that was sprites, and made it nicer sprites. They made the backgrounds deep and detailed. Extremely fucking cool. I remember being excited when I saw Octopath - but I don’t like JRPGs, and I have to be honest, I do NOT like the art style of Octopath. Every trailer I saw for that game... my big thought was WHERE ARE THE FUCKING COLORS? That’s even a complaint I have about the official art for LAL’s cast... I kind of hate it all. I hate the desaturation.

But LAL itself, the actual game, HOLY hell! I played Prehistory first which was a fine chapter, I’m pretty neutral on it but it was so COLORFUL! VIBRANT! Then I played Edo Japan which was darker, because it is night time. But I found myself constantly stopping, and saying, out loud, “Wow, this game is beautiful”. I tweeted some screenshots with that as a caption, which was the first LAL tweet I made that Tokita-san faved and retweeted.

This was the view that first made me really go, “Wow”.

I used to edit sprites when I was a kid. I couldn’t draw, but I loved editing Pokemon trainers into my OCs. With the switch to 3D models, I was dead in the water. I couldn’t do shit! It kinda sucked. I cried when I got to play with my Pokemon in Pokemon Amie. But for all we gained with the 3D models, I feel like we lost a lot, too. Legends Arceus is exempt from this discussion as it is a shining beauty of a game and I adore it. JUST WISH I COULD HEAR THE FUCKING MUSIC.

This is a disorganized rant but basically, I’m just saying I’m so happy that there is a market for games like Live A Live to be remade, to look like how they were always dreamed up to be. And that doesn’t mean 3D models, it doesn’t mean HD. Sometimes it just means a coat of love, and that so much feels like what this game got.

Recent Pokemon games don’t feel like that to me. I didn’t hate Sword and Shield, but boy, are they ugly and bland. Not once did I ever say “wow” or even FEEL any sort of awe or joy at the environments. The Eternatus fight was not impressive and I hated the entire plot of that game. The Crown Tundra DLC was ok because I got horses. But the whole place was just so fucking ugly. I don’t just blame the UK for that either. Shit was unfinished and looked like garbage.

Scarlet and Violet are giving me the same feeling. I’m not excited. The environments look maybe better, but I feel no style. I don’t feel love. It looks like everything else, but maybe slightly worse. It’s all the same. I also felt like that seeing every fucking Square game in the Direct today. Shit all looks the same, I can’t tell any of it apart.

But I see Live A Live, and it even looks so different from Octopath. My only memories of it, and from the sequel’s trailer today, are washed out browns and bronzes and dust and blah. But just look at the screenshot up there. It’s supposed to be night time and there’s purples. Reds. Oboromaru’s motif color is purple and it’s washed throughout the entire chapter. The insides of the castle are lit with candles and you can feel that.

And that’s just one chapter. Damn. I fucking hated the Middle Ages chapter but I can still say it’s beautiful. I enjoyed dipshitting around in the Dominion of Hate for a while, GRINDING UP MASARU’S FUCKIN LEVEL 2 ASS, cause the place was still so pretty despite it all. I felt welcome in that game and like it was happy to have me. Even if I’m some fake fan who didn’t play the original and had only heard of it, and only had a couple songs on my ipod because Yoko composed them.

Idk man. I’ve just got a ton of thoughts. It’s been a really, really long time since a game deeply affected me like Live A Live has. Legends Arceus having a couple bangers and also having Ingo in it is not the same. I loved that game but it didn’t hit me in my soul like Live A Live has. I’m hoping this game will stick with me and be at the front of my heart for the rest of my life.

And I want more people to enjoy it, too.

Anyways look at these fucking sick-ass sprites of Edgelord of Dark Oersted they fucking rock

[synthcrow]

now that I've played kh3 here's a short summary on my feelings of each of the games

kh1: janky little game, but really heartfelt and has a really inventive combat system for its time. I remember it fondly for its simple but earnest narrative, but it has plenty of rough edges

re:chain of memories: ROUGH EDGES AHOY. the combat system utterly jokerified me even though it was initially interesting. I think it may have been better on the gba. writing is an improvement on the first game I think, almost utena-esque stuff going on here

kh2: ouuggh I love this one so much. combat is extremely polished, I like that you go to each world twice (which honestly reinforces some of the themes the first game was going for, friendship transcending distance and all, also makes it better paced). story has some proper gut punches but also some really strange decisions, still got me quite emotional at the end.

kh358/2: a really compelling tragedy, and the repetitive gameplay reinforces the mundaneity of the life in the org. sadly, playing it several hours each day burned me out on it and I ended up watching the hd cutscenes instead. definitely meant to be played like a mission or two each day during commutes. best damn final boss music.

birth by sleep: manages to make an interesting new take on the kh2 formula, and the story told through three protagonists is damn excellent. most of the disney worlds are better than average, although I fucking despise neverland holy shit

kh3d: this one made me lose my sanity. it succeeds in having a dream-logic style story and does some story twists, both good and bad (some people claim them to be retcons and mostly no??? villains lie??? a lot of it was foreshadowed, too???). takes the birth by sleep combat and introduces pokemon and parkour, making it so much more convoluted I had no idea what was happening a lot of the time. the rooms were way too big, to accommodate flowmotion for sure but if you die in them you have start all over. bizarre decisions were made. DROP TO YOUR BOYFRIEND, NOW!!!!!!

The Gatcha Games: watched compilations on youtube. does some interesting things with the backstory of the setting but the serialised release of the story makes it really drag on when watched in one sitting.

0.2: my girlfriends made sure I remember shirtless mickey and they sure did deliver on that. the gameplay is an excellent mix of all the games up to this point, love to see them iterating on things for once. the cosmetic options were a really bizarre choice tonally for this game specifically.

kh3: the single most video game put into a video game. there's so much going on in all fronts. the pixar worlds are great, the disney worlds are mostly boring retellings of the originals. the worlds are all incredibly long and have some gimmick to them, it feels like a billion games taped together. combat is the same as 0.2, good all around. since the disney worlds weren't allowed to advance the main story, the finale goes at a breakneck speed and resolves so many story arcs in a blink of an eye. the ending was pretty underwhelming tbh, no one turned into a boat this time.

[deathbydarkelves]

Oh yeah after a few years of having this sexy PC I finally got around to properly modding Skyrim (with a fuckton of help from a mutual because holy fucking shit so much of this shit is not beginner-friendly at all)

Landscape screencaps:

And one of my character (who, yes, is Tarinne because why wouldn't it be). Even though her armor is still pretty basic I think it's an acceptable look until I progress further, and I like this shot:

I'm not modding anything CRAZY, really just stuff to enhance the base game (for now). Lightweight survival things, lighting mods, extra stuff like Traverse the Ulvenwald to add more and better trees, little immersion mods, more armor/weapons, and customization mods that let me make my women as buff as I want <3 and LazyFollowers so I can have a Cathala following me around condescendingly telling me to take a bath every so often because I downloaded Dirt and Blood and have this nasty habit of getting lost in dungeons (dirty) and killing things that have blood inside them (bloody).

This is all extremely par for the course for seasoned modders, I'm sure, but I'm really really enjoying being able to run around in HD Skyrim like I always saw in screenshots but never had the machine to accomplish myself. It's like a new game, and I'm constantly stopping to stare in wonder at otherwise mundane things. Worth the ten straight, actual hours I spent downloading mods and troubleshooting shit on Tuesday (I have ADHD, I hyperfocused on it sbdcfhjs)

[coredrill]

all day. all goddamn day i have been envisioning the griduni heist situation as some dude getting on a flight, seeing that the inflight entertainment service has the movie, and then plugging a computer into the headrest in front of him and somehow getting into the firewalls or whatever like he's hackerman. and i know that it was probably an employee who leaked it or a screen recording, and i've just been envisioning that because i thought it was funny but like. I GET IT. I GET IT NOW. I TOO WOULD HACK AN AIRPLANE FOR THIS MOVIE.

okay so like. ive seen screenshots. and ssssg and ssssd are in the same style. but like. it looks so WEIRD to see the dyna crew on the screen at the same time as the gridman crew

gauma running to see them…………..being soft with yomo……….telling chise goldburns okay……..HE LOVEs THEM SO MUCH IM GONNA CRY

yume being absolutely 100000% chill. love her

obsessed

gif #3: the gauma and yomo headpats

oh that gauma n yomo convo. kill me the fuck now

oh my god the dyna crew coming to their school and causing chaos. they truly did learn from the best!

this movie is operating on a level of meta that the world can only begin to HOPE to understand

THE RECEIPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ME WHEN I'M RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOLY SHIIIIIIIIT THE KAI IKARASHI SEQUENCE THAT RULED TO HELL AND BACK

holy SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET THe battle at the halfway point that is the hypest shit i've seen in a LONG TIME i cANNOT WAIT UNTIL THIS IS AVAILABLE IN HD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also the explosion cloud getting chopped to pieces was SO FUNNY LMAO

YOMOGI INSTANCE DOMINATION LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

the directions of the two times yuuta runs in this movie. thinkging thoughts.

yuuuuta pushing grindman back up stranding after the apology. awwwww

this is making ssssg even better in retrospect imo. like the way they love akane so much STILL and the whole yuuta being a operson thign

now tell me why i started crying when akane showed up. !!!

yeah okay now that ive seen it i really DO love her involvement here. i know its bc fanservice but i think it's also really poetic? like. to return to a place you were once forced into at your lowest because someone else is there and needs your help. to have the mental strength to do that and then leave once again and be alright. jesus

GRIDMAN GLOWY EFFECTS WOW I LOVE

WHEN IMPERFECT KICKED IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND WE GOT GROWN KNIGHT AND SECOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THE DYNA CREW BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHI I SCREAMED

was not prepared for akane and knight's conversation to hit me as hard as it did. "you gave me life and because i'm alive i've seen so many things" now THATS the hardest ive cried in the whole movie

rikka and akane stuff was VERY good too

OKAY HARDEST I CRIED NUNTIL GAUMA LEFT

ayyyye the dunmeshi preview!!

OVERALL THOUGHTS. holy shit i loved it 10/10 in every way. i laughed i cried i cheered i understood NONE of the universe explanations and that is exactly the way it should be. absolutely LOVED the whole "gridman doesn't belong to any one person; if you take something from him that means something to you that's cool" message. glad i read the spoilers bc otherwise i would've hoped for more of yume n chise n koyomi so i'm glad i knew what to expect going in. i need this to release NOW so that it can be in HD good lord. crunchyroll i am in your walls i need this to show in a theater. what a masterpiece!!!!!!

believing in human design isn't necessary

When I work with people around Human Design, either in groups or in one-on-one sessions, I often am asked if Human Design is something to believe in. HD Scholars (and I) usually hold the belief (ha) that HD is a system, a scientific framework, not an esoteric system of values you must believe in.

Sometimes when I tell people that, they question me, or give me the side-head-tilt look of reservation. I answer that with, "make it an experiment." Here's what I mean:

If you're encountering Human Design for the first time, you're probably noticing that if followed/adhered to/trialed, you would be thinking about decisions and interacting with life differently than you have been.

That kind of shift is radical because it involves changing action, not believing anything different. I'm not asking you to believe your solar plexus over your mind -- I'm asking you to try to give your solar plexus a chance at the mic for once. Then, I'm asking if you'll experiment with Human Design -- and how you make that choice can be impacted too.

When I encountered HD and learned I'm an emotional authority, I got really curious and decided to see it as an experiment. If I could hear my solar plexus, why not give it the mic and see what happens? (I'm also a line three, so I like learning through experience and experiment.)

I knew there wasn't a belief I had to adopt. Instead, I looked at things factually and let HD prove itself, so to speak, over a year.

I met my husband that year, we married that year, his oldest daughter lived with us starting that year, we got to walk her through graduating High School, I set boundaries with toxic family, I started going to therapy... all huge life decisions that are directly affected by my journey and experiment in Human Design.

If I wasn't following my authority I would've never met my husband. If I wasn't following my authority, I would've never set boundaries with toxic family and given myself a chance to be happy, healthy, free, and really emotionally healthy too. I was constantly around people who weren't a good influence on me, or weren't healthy for me, and Human Design both allowed me to see that and also make the necessary decisions I made in order to heal.

So it started as an experiment but grew to be a way of life. Once I sat back and realized that I'd been focused on living out my strategy and authority, I realized that each decision in my life, whether small or large, had led me to a greater success, peace, and happiness than before.

I ran the data -- I had lots of it -- and looked at the decisions my mind would've made, and how bad those could've been. It was lots of reflection, lots of introspection, and a few, "holy shit I'm glad I didn't do that" moments.

In the moments where I wanted to knee-jerk answer (and that's not aligned for me), I waited. I chose to honor the differentiation of not being someone who is spontaneous. I risked ruffling feathers of other people by taking my time to decide.

I let the results speak for themselves, with my life as the ultimate laboratory... and ended up coming home to the Church of my Emotional Wave, where I trust my soul more than my brain's logic. I honor my patience and my timing more than my people-pleasing tendencies. I listen to the voice that needs more time and information to decide, instead of wondering what people may think as I'm taking my time.

It started as an experiment, and it is so much more than that. It is the way I have learned myself best, been able to grow the most, and been able to heal the most graciously. I parent better, I'm a nicer and more supportive partner, and I take better care of myself because of Human Design.

My guidance when I'm asked if HD is a belief system? No, it's an experiment that explains things you've always known but never been able to put words to. Try it on, let it prove itself, and watch what happens.

Because I've never known it to fail.

Almost Every Gaming Youtuber in the late 2000's: "Hey did you know Sephiroth and his theme song, One Winged Angel, are overrated? Kefka from Final Fantasy VI is a MUCH better villain and his theme, Dancing Mad, is WAY better and has more depth?"

Me, after rewatching the Cloud VS Sephiroth fight in Advent Children for the tenth time: "What's that? I can't hear you over this awesome guitar riff dude. Guy just sliced a building in half!"

I really miss having good talks about nerd stuff without it devolving into mudslinging. Doesn't matter if their take on a subject is widly different from mine (not politically though, I know where I stand on that), I would still like to have a fun discussion about it.

Like, a discussion talking about fanservice in anime, how both men and women are portrayed in that regard, is it damaging the image of anime and so forth. That would be cool but no, it always comes back to the dreaded "culture war" eventually. Pathetic.

So Konami just had it's first Silent Hill related...anything that wasn't a pachinko machine in...hold up

*checks notes*

10 years! Holy shit it's been that long...and no, P.T. doesn't count...kinda. Anyway, to make up for it (and probably for Contra: Rogue Corps) they decided to go ALL OUT with this franchise with 3 games, a movie (oh goody), a interactive series (could be fun?) and lots of merch.

First up is a remake of the classic Silent Hill 2. While I rather had seen a remake of the first game (that technically got a re-imaging on the Wii but still) as I think SH2 still holds up really well it is cool to see the game with next-gen graphics.

If they keep the rest of the game intact and add more stuff and locations (and fix the combat) this might be, not a replacement but a good version of the game to enjoy. Especially because the only proper way to play the original SH2 is either the PS2 version, the PC port or the Xbox version with extra content added. Don't go for the HD Collection on this one guys.

Next up are 2 brand new SH games: Silent Hill Townfall and Silent Hill F. Nothing is really know about these yet (except that F takes place in 1960's Japan) so we only got 2 teaser trailers but they look pretty dope either way.

gen:lock s2 ep 6 Liveblog

So, I had not been spoiled for this episode, I was scared though bc all the discussions in the spoilers channel of the server were blacked out so I was WORRIED. Warning how nonsensical my live blog is

(Starting off) I don't trust this chase

Okay already the tone of this episode is much much better

THE DELIVERY ON THAT NO

This feels like we ARE going down the path of "kill the whole team, replace them with copies"

DID THEY REALLY JUST DO THE FUCKING "LET ME IN LET ME IN LET ME INNNNNNNNNNNN"

(Side bar) Also I love that whenever I watch gL HBO likes to not put it in HD so i always suffer

bc Holcroft was first a transparent hologram im always surprised by how PALE he really is- baby got those baja blast eyes

I wonder if the HBO team are trying to get through the war plot to just focus on tech

UnLock. Well at least its not another fucking "mind-" concept I need to keep straight when writing.

I do like more Miranda focus this season-

DRI

I kind of hope we find out she's gL compatible (in retrospect, after seeing what they do to Sinclair, let’s HOPE they don’t do this)

Yaz and Val are KINGS- god Val looks so GOOD

THEY DID NOT GIVE MIGAS THE FAKE BEARD

"Are you in shape for the mission?" "Sorry no I've got a sleep paralysis demon"

WE SMUGGLING IN A BOMB?????? THEY ARE GOING TO KILL EVERYONE THIS SEASON

Time to gaslight gatekeep girlboss i know this isnt gaslighting but for the joke we are using Dri without her knowing the whole context~

Sinclair GET IN THE HOLON COME ON LETS DO IT

Henry what happened to you-

this slowly descending elevator is JUST the ironwood vault scene

INCLUDING THE SLOW HEAD TURN IM DYING THIS IS JUST RWBY V7 FINALE/V8

WHAT???? WHAT WAS THAT I DONT WANT TO REWIND TO GO BACK (this was in ref to the looming giant Holon)

can they get a better caliban voice

I DONT CARE I LOVE WELLER

I was wondering so hard about if we were going to get anymore Weller content after ep 1. WELLER AND CALIBAN FATHER SON INTERACTIONS

"for the sake of humanity, your body cannot be your own" feels like a THEME OF SORTS HMMMM...

really surprised we haven't checked in on Cammie i guess she's 100% dead then huh

So we are building a new nemesis very cool

ODIN isnt that norse

wOW nyc looks GREAT

I hate this Koala so much why is it so fucking UGLY- its name is mr. cook????

It's totally the true villain

"The HereAfter"- Jha you've joined a CULT

Oh so she just wants to stick it to Holcroft

This is some obvious Elon Musk/Jeff Bezos commentary which is not bad but I hate when shows decide to be obvious about it and don't go some way that famous books have done it with more metaphorical, impactful routes. Like either go ALL THE WAY or don't. Don't half ass this.

I have 5 minutes left I'm still like ARE WE JUST KEEPING CAMMIE DEAD

THAT WAS HORRIFYING WHAT THEYRE DOING TO SINCLAIR HOLY FUCK

Migas that is the SHITTIEST DISGUISE EVER

Oh god is Migas going to die too

wow are we going to get a fight scene finally

MIGAS IS DEAD ISNT HE FUCK

***THATS NOT CHASE***

"YEAH YEAH FOLLOW ME" IM WHEEZING

been a while since we've seen the striders or whatever they're called

chase REALLY FUCKED THIS UP FAST huh

oh are we going to parallel s1's finale of miranda jumping out of the strider with Dri jumping out of miranda's this time

VAL DONT DIE PLEASE

THAT WAS THE SHITTIEST FUCKING JUMP/BLASTED AWAY ANIMATION IVE SEEN IM DYING

oh great wait until Chase finds out who ELSE is inside that strider

YAZ?????? WHAT THE FUCK

OH THEY GOT HER OUT IN TIME THANK FUCK

"correction- WAS"

ABLE really delivering these lines im laughing so hard

worried Dri and Miranda are going to die in the bomb too and everything will go to SHIT

wow i would've thought chase would've had a bigger reaction

MIRANDA DEFECT WITH US!!!! COME ON!!!

THE FLOW IS HERE AND I DONT THINK MIRANDA'S CRACKED SHIELD HAS PROTECTION

CAMMIE!!!!!!!!!!

SHE'S BECOME FULL FURRY

ME TOO MIRANDA!!!

"WHAT THE FUCK!"

could u do fake dating headcanons where they slowly fall for u w atsumu, kenma & oikawa,, gn pronounces are fine :)

haikyuu boys slowly falling for you (fake dating edition) (gn!reader)

feat: atsumu, kenma, oikawa

warnings: fake dating, abuse of cliche tropes and commas and question marks, timeskip setting because im anything but creative, swearing

requests are open!

a/n: thank you for requesting this!! i hope you like it :D

atsumu

* you’ve been friends with him ever since high school and you watched his career grow

* youre both equally proud of each other n your friendship is built on mutual respect, trust and love

* you basically live in his apartment, with how much time you spend over there

* he would complain 24/7 about not having anyone to go to events with

* at one point you wanted to strangle him for never shutting up about it so you propose you go with him from time to time

* atsumu: “yeah, that was a setup”

* he KNOWS you’re drop dead gorgeous and everyone will be jealous of him that you’re with him (and you also look very good in formalwear, which he very much enjoys)

* and you get to have free food and drinks and also wear immaculate expensive clothes

* so,, you became his regular date for sponsorship events and stuff

* and you never really outright said you were just friends?? so you’re used to the media portraying you two as lovers but your close circle is aware that your relationship is platonic

* everything was going great until one of his sponsor company’s heir started hitting on you

* atsumu saw you flirting with the person and his mind went blank

* he,, he didn’t understand why he wanted to commit multiple crimes on the spot

* bokuto conveniently showed up next to atsumu at that moment

“hey, atsumu? why is your date flirting with them?” bokuto asked, suddenly appearing next to atsumu, which startled the latter out of his thoughts.

a better question would be why atsumu saw red at the thought of you getting friendly with anyone but him that night. he tried his best to keep his composure, but it was hard when you rested a hand on the heir’s shoulder, leaning your head back while laughing.

“atsumu, are you not going to answer me? your lover is-“

“my what?” atsumu asked, attention now completely off you.

“your lover? is that a term you don’t like? i could say partner... significant other... or anything you want, really,” bokuto answered, apologizing.

“you- you think me and (y/n) are together?”

“aren’t you? what, with the way you look at each other i was convinced you two were like... high school sweethearts or something, who hate pda,” bokuto explained, while atsumu’s eyes trailed back to you.

“you think... you think they’d wan’ me?”

“are you blind, buddy?”

you must have sensed their gazes, because as soon as those words left bokuto’s mouth, your eyes snapped towards atsumu and bokuto. the latter started waving with a cheerful smile while the former just stood, entranced by you and your presence. atsumu noticed traces of confusion appearing on your face, and watched as you excused yourself from the conversation you were previously interested in.

“‘tsumu, are you alright?” you questioned, approaching the pair. bokuto grinned and left, which made you even more confused.

“yeah, i’m fi- fine. hey, uh, (y/n), say... do you- why did you offer to come to these events as my date?” atsumu asked, eyes dead set on yours. you cracked a confused smile. you seemed to be capable of nothing but confusion at the moment.

“because you’re my best friend and i hated to see you so down because of your loneliness at these gatherings,” you replied, holding his gaze. “why didn’t you oppose it?”

his eyes studied you and when he saw nothing but sincerity, he let out a loud sigh. this was all very new and confusing to him. it’s like bokuto calling you atsumu’s lover set off a bomb inside his head that instead of causing a mess, made everything fall into place; why his gaze seemed to linger on you more often than before, why he was so eager to choose your outfits for these events, why he went to parties he didn’t even have to attend, why he got so jealous and angry when he saw you with the cute heir.

“holy shit,” he breathed and ran his hands through his hair, letting out a nervous chuckle and lowering his gaze to the ground. “holy shit.”

“you look like you’ve been enlightened, and i love that for you, but ‘tsumu, i’m still very confused.”

“i’m in love with you,” he said in disbelief, and quickly snapped his eyes back to your face when he realized he said it out loud. “i- i mean- i’m not in love with you, no way in hell, you’re- you’re my best friend, you- you smack my head whenever i say somethin’ inappropriate, you keep me from underminin’ myself, you always lift my spirits and for fuck’s sake, please, stop lookin’ at me like that because i will be getting hopeful and if you’re just joking, i will never hear the end of it and-“

you finally hd enough of his rambling and cut him off with a kiss. at first he froze, but seconds later he melted into your embrace, hands sneaking around your waist, pulling you closer.

when your lips separated, atsumu gasping for air after his word vomit and the long kiss you shared, you spoke up. “miya atsumu, you’re a real dumbass, you know that?”

his breath hitched and you kept quiet for a second to let him suffer a bit.

“but you’re my dumbass. i love you, you absolute piece of work.”

atsumu honest to god giggled and leaned in for another kiss, which you gave him without hesitation.

somewhere in the room, bokuto was collecting the money sakusa promised to give him if he got you two to kiss.

kenma

* kenma and you are both twitch streamers with similar content so you knew of each other but weren’t properly introduced

* until one of your mutual friends invited you both to stream among us with them

* you obv accepted

* so during the 3 hr stream, you and kenma were imposters together a lot and had the biggest, most twisted imp plays

* a friendly competition broke out at one point, too, trying to see who exposed the most impostors between the two of you

* your fans ate your dynamic up

* from then on, you two interacted more and started to appear in each others’ streams

* kenma even invited you to his minecraft smp

* you became besties basically

* SO

* all fun and games

* and then a huge sponsorship opportunity rolled in

* and the people at the company assumed you were dating

* uh oh

* you couldnt just tell them they have it wrong bc the whole thing depended on your relationship

* so

* big brain kenma suggest you two start to “date”

* you were against deceiving your followers but kenma assured you you could have a public breakup and tell everyone you were better off as friends

* so you reluctantly agreed

* it was only for two months anyways, what could go wrong?

* both of you, on week 3, in separate discord calls: uh oh, im in l*ve

* you both tried to cope (read: repress everything) but the realization on both of your parts threw your dynamic off a bit and fans have noticed

* so you had to do something abt it

* so kenma suggested you try your hand at a minecraft challenge together

* it was all fun and games until it wasnt

* you somehow ended up flirting back and forth ????

* chat was goin crazy, even in sub only mode

* both of you: ha ha im in danger

* when the stream ended, you stayed on call, because that was a routine you stuck to no matter what

“so... how are you doing?” you asked kenma, trying to clear the awkwardness from the air.

“good.”

maybe you should have taken kenma’s refusal to talk about anything into account when initiating conversation.

kenma, on the other end of the call was anxiously playing with his fingers, trying to figure out if his chat was right, and you were indeed flirting with him. and him with you. god.

“hey, y/n,” kenma said after a while, “were you flirting with me?”

his bluntness startled you and you had to mute yourself for a few seconds while you collected yourself.

“is there a correct answer?” you asked hesitantly.

“yes.”

“oh... uhm, maybe? it wasn’t intentional. or maybe it was, subconsciously, i don’t know,” you admitted quietly.

“good. it was intentional on my part, i think,” and okay, that was not the reply you expected to hear.

“really?”

“yeah, i- i like you i guess,” he said, sounding more confident by the minute. “do you like me too?”

“i- yeah. i do. i like you, kenma,” you replied, sighing a breath of relief. it felt good to admit it aloud to him.

“do you- would you maybe want to come over?” he asked sheepishly, which made absolutely no sense because he sounded so confident a second ago. “we could play mario kart?”

you let the beaming smile you were holding back take over your face. “i’ll be there in 10, kenma.”

“i’ll be waiting for you.”

oikawa

* on god mans hated your guts

* like,, okay, you were iwa’s close friend but you were so annoyingly honest all the time

* it drove him mad

* what also drove him mad is the fact that you loved to tease him

* no matter what the circumstance, whether he was in japan or in argentina, you always found a way to make him blush

* okay so maybe hate is a strong word, because he kind of thought you were pretty, but in a platonic way

* dumbass

* iwa always give both of you shit for not liking each other

* so you came up with a big brain idea

* you: ”oikawa! we should date!”

* oikawa: “what”

* after you explained the concept of fake dating to him and its benefits (which included a staged dramatic breakup, giving you both a reason to hate each other without iwa complaining)

* he was totally down

* iwa, when he first saw you holding hands: “i knew it”

* SO!! thus began weeks of pretending to be in love with each other for the sake of iwa

* which turned from pretending to not pretending real quick for your liking

* falling in love with oikawa was not a plan of yours

* (falling in love with you wasn’t his, either)

* with iwa’s constant nagging of “i knew it, you both were head over heels for each other from the moment you met”, the time for the breakup came quicker than expected (maybe you both had enough. so what.)

* you agreed to do it in front of iwa so he could see it happen

* you chose a mcdonalds parking lot, because then you could storm off and iwa would follow you to make sure you were ok and oikawa could go home and sleep

* maybe winging it was not the best idea

“babe,” you said with venom, “haven’t i told you a thousand times that i do not want to hear about your exes? seriously, it’s like the only thing you talk about,” you complained, as your fake-boyfriend took a sip from his drink.

“well, babe,” his tone matching yours, “i would shut up about them if took the hint sometimes. maybe i don’t like going to the movies as much as you seem to, it’s boring,” he rolled his eyes, subtly glancing at iwa, who looked very uncomfortable third wheeling your argument. good

“jerk. i don’t even want to go to the movies that much, asshole,” you spat, crushing your empty cup in your hand.

“oh, you want to go to the movies plenty. face it, (y/n), you’re boring. no wonder you didn’t have a boyfriend before me,” he replied and his words, even though you knew were fake, still hit hard and you couldn’t help the tears gathering in your eyes.

“okay, then, thanks for these wonderful past few weeks, so glad you decided to take pity on me.” you tried to keep acting, encouraging yourself with the fact that if oikwa meant what he said, you wouldn’t have to talk to him if iwaizumi finally saw you two break up.

you expected a lot of things, but genuineness in oikawa’s eyes was not one of them.

“(y/n), i’m sorry, i didn’t mean it like that,” oikawa pleaded, clearly forgetting about your mutual goal.

with a mumbled whatever, you started walking home, letting the sunset wash over your face. when you knew you were out of sight, you sat down on a bench and just started crying.

you don’t know how much time passed, but you heard a voice behind you speak up.

“hey (y/n).”

“what the fuck do you want, oikawa? to rub in the fact that my first boyfriend was just faking it so his best friend would get off his back? leave me alone, jerk,” you said, trying to wipe your tears away.

“i- i didn’t mean it like that, please, believe me,” he replied, taking a seat next to you. you scooted away from him. he sighed.

“why would i believe you? why do you want to make up, anyways? this fight was pretty real, no way iwaizumi didn’t believe it,” you sniffed.

“because maybe... maybe i was very happy about the fact that i could be your boyfriend, even if it was fake. maybe i’m in love with you,” he said softly, leaning towards you.

“please, stop playing games. it’s over,” you replied, trying very hard to ignore the raw emotion in his voice as he spoke.

“i really am, (y/n). i wasn’t at first, i admit it, but now i am. i love you, please, believe me,” he begged and you finally made eye contact with him. eyes were mirrors of the soul, after all.

you studied his face for a few minutes, looking for anything that could indicate he was trying to pull a shit prank on you, but you found nothing.

“asshole. maybe i’m in love with you too, what would you do if i said that?” you asked, wiping your nose with your sleeves.

“kiss you.”

“do it, then, i guess. but you’re still not completely forgiven.”

“what do i have to do to earn your forgiveness, (y/n)?” he asked and you sent him a mischievous smile.

“take the blame for this whole fiasco with iwaizumi.” he froze at your words and visibly gulped, but nodded nonetheless.

“okay, i will. can i kiss you now?”

you rolled your eyes. “yeah.”

and he did.
