I’m a die hard Clerith shipper since 1997, you can’t change my mind but the one thing I won’t tolerate in FFVII aside from shipping wars, is anyone shitting on Tifa.

Don’t. You can like Clerith without hating Tifa. You can find other reasons to not to like Tifa as character, that isn’t “I don’t like her because she gets in the way of my ship”

Personally, Tifa isn’t one of my top tier FF characters, but I am not going to ignore how much of a badass and important person Tifa is to Cloud’s story.

People cite Aerith’s death and burial as the most important moment of FFVII, and yes it’s heartbreaking and an iconic scene. But you know what’s also an important scene?

Tifa in the lifestream with Cloud setting his memories straight. Tifa who up until this moment unbeknownst to the player, is aware that Cloud as he’s presented himself thus far *isnt* the Cloud he thinks he is. She’s been patiently going along with Cloud’s story trying to figure out *what happened* to him/ how he appeared in Midgar boasting of being a SOLDIER while clearly suffering from Mako poisoning/how will she ultimately break this story to him.

Think how hard it was for her to watch Cloud have ptsd episodes and not know how to ground him other than to say “it’s okay. Pull yourself together, let’s keep moving”, because she doesn’t know how or why Cloud is suffering.

But then they fall into the Lifestream together and Tifa helps Cloud sift through the memories warped and altered by the poisoning and Cloud’s severe PTSD.

Only Tifa could help Cloud here- she’s the only one on the Team who has known Cloud since they were young/understands Cloud’s motivations for wanting to become stronger in joining SOLDIER.

This part of the game is beautiful and emotional, and very ahead of it’s time in its portrayal and meta-discussion of PTSD; Cloud isn’t magically healed and back to normal, he never will be, be he’s reclaimed his identity enough that he can begin to heal. I’m replaying the original atm and the moment still holds and I’m hoping that the remake nails this moment. It’s as important and impactful to Cloud as a character as Aerith’s death.

Speaking of Aerith.  Aerith and Tifa become friends from the jump.  Aerith is so respectful of Tifa that twice she makes sure that she isn’t encroaching on Cloud and Tifa’s relationship. She asks Cloud if Tifa is his girlfriend, she reassures Tifa in Don Cornero’s Mansion that she’s not there to steal Cloud from her.  

And yeah, Aerith isn’t trying to steal Cloud or anything - she helped a cute buff guy recover from a fall, asked him for an escort because this time the Turks brought backup to capture her, and got swept up in the ensuing events.  

Hell, Aerith is ride or die for Tifa BEFORE THEY EVEN FORMALLY MEET EACH OTHER. Aerith sees Tifa being carted off to Wall Market and her “some bad shit’s about to happen to this woman if we don’t move NOW” senses go off.  

Cloud’s like “oh let me take you home first and I’ll get my teammates...” and Aerith’s like “YOU NAIVE FOOL? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO CUTE GIRLS IN WALL MARKET? (tbh, considering how naive Cloud can be, I am going with ‘nope’.) WE GOTTA GO! QUICK GET INTO THIS SEXY DRESS BECAUSE MR. SOLDIER YOU’RE NOT COMING UP WITH A BETTER PLAN WE CAN WORK WITH!!” Aerith drives the entire plan to get into the Don’s mansion. She negotiates the dress, the wig, the makeup, EVERYTHING, to make sure that Cloud can pass as a women to come into the Mansion with her.  

Heck, Aerith was going to go into the mansion HERSELF to get Tifa when the guard was like “No dudes allowed.” The only reason they went looking for dresses in Cloud’s size, was because Cloud got all “No, I can’t let you go in there a lone if it’s as bad as you think it is”, (as if he hadn’t just spent the last day with this woman watching her completely kick ass in battle). So Aerith was like, “Fine, you wanna come with me? Get in the Silk Dress, Cloud” with the same energy as Shinji’s Dad.

And when Aerith gets captured, Tifa was like “WE GOTTA GO AND SAVE HER FROM SHINRA!” as well as protecting Aerith through the whole ShinRa office building mission when the groups had to split up.  So yeah, these two queens love and respect each other from the get-go, they put Cloud in his place, tease the shit out of him and Barret, probably had hair-braiding trains at camp, and support the hell out of each other . 

Also, as we see from the rest of FFVII and in AC, Tifa is devastated by her friend’s death and continues to grieve with Cloud.  Tifa is emotionally intelligent enough to see that Cloud’s grief and guilt over Aerith’s death is killing him, but also respects his need for space.  However, when she finds that he has Geostigma and has staying away from everyone so he can just waste away and die as some sort of penance for not being able to save Aerith and zack, she get’s PISSED at him. Tifa is instrumental in bringing Cloud back (again) to his senses.  Making him see, that he doesn’t only belong to himself, he belongs to their family, just as much as they belong to him. The love and fierce protection Cloud has for his family?  They have that for him and believe he’s more than worthy of that love. Tifa takes none of Cloud’s mopey and self-loathing bs, and sets him straight.

So if you think Tifa is only there for fan-service, an annoying bitch who is there to be jealous of Aerith, is there just to make a love triangle so SE can pander to fans on both sides, you clearly

a) didn’t play the games b) missed one of the best female relationships and examples of women supporting women in gaming c) missed how equally important both Aerith and Tifa are to Cloud in their own ways

IMO I see her and Cloud as platonic soulmates- kinda like Black Widow and Hawkeye- they have history, they have shared trauma from their childhoods and in the destruction of Nibelheim, they know what it’s like to grow up in a poor country town that’s been exploited by Shinra on so many levels from the natural resources to it’s culture of military indoctrination and idealization.

Yes, there was an innocent first love, but after certain events, to me- it’s moved beyond romantic attraction between them. They’re always going to be important to each other and in each other's lives.  

Their innocent first love to me, mirrors Zack and Aerith’s, but Aerith moved on and fell in love with Cloud. Yes, Cloud reminded her of Zack, she probably wanted to remain close to Cloud to get closure on what exactly happened to him. 

People often forget, Aerith *knows* Zack’s died and returned to the Lifestream in the way that she knew her adoptive mother’s husband had died before word reached them. When she has her awkward moment in Gongaga it’s not because she’s now realizing that he’s dead, she’s now realizing that these are Zack’s parents and they still don’t know what became of their son. Zack was scrambled into Cloud’s memories due to trauma and because Zack was someone Cloud looked up and was his ideal, combined with the fact that Zack was the only person talking to Cloud for 9 months as Zack carried his catatonic self back to Midgar. But Cloud didn’t *become* Zack, only Zack’s plans of becoming a mercenary and being a former SOLDIER were impressed upon him. If Cloud actually became Zack he would have been chipper, this energetic “I’m a hero!” all around good-guy hero Zack made himself out to be. The Cloud we first meet...isn’t- yes he thinks he’s a former SOLDIER turned merc, but he’s sardonic, arrogant, and too much of “tough guy/lone wolf”...he’s more like his child-like self who was made to feel like an outsider and wants to showoff how much cooler and stronger he’s become.  He didn’t find Aerith because Zack was some how possessing him.  Aerith and Cloud meeting was destiny, and their subsequent relationship is independent of their past histories with Zack. And if Aerith is interested in Cloud because she reminds him of Zack - well...the woman is allowed to have a type.

I digress.

Cloud was in love with Tifa in that - “hey! notice me! If I go off an become this awesome guy, I’ll be worthy of your attention” sort of way, that teens get.  He was a lonely kid, often bullied by the other children in the village (Tifa included), and probably didn’t know *why* he wanted Tifa’s attention- it was most likely Tifa had the most social capital among the kids. And despite her hot/cold treatment of him,Cloud who was desperate to prove himself, figured that if he somehow “won” Tifa’s attention, it would “show them”.  I am not saying that Cloud was using Tifa or didn’t care about her- he does love her. He blamed himself for not being strong enough to save her when she tried climb Mt. Nibel.  But you can’t ignore that his thirst to prove himself wasn’t wrapped up in his crush.  It’s your typical “become a hero, get the girl” idealization.  Cloud was 14 when he left Nibelheim for Shinra’s military. He was a child, just like Tifa, with a naive idea about how the world worked- and the world slapped them both in the face, HARD.  Relationships mature and change over time. Outside forces can and will shift your dynamics in how your relate to the people you love.  Sometimes your first crush, becomes one of your very best friends (happened to me personally so maybe this informs my take on Cloud and Tifa) because when you’re young you don’t understand that loving someone, outside of your nuclear family, isn’t only constrained to romance. This is what I believe happened to them. Cloud and Tifa had the quintessential school yard crush, and when they were reunited years later in Midgar, they still care deeply for each other in a different way than they did when they were 14 and 13.

But those are MY feelings, it’s how I play the game’s attraction mechanics; I am afforded to shape Cloud’s relationships as I, the gamer, see fit. I understand why Cloti shippers ship Cloud and Tifa, and they’re just as valid as Clerith, Zarith, Clack, etc.. but I’m a sucker for M/F platonic soulmates because there needs to be MORE of that in media. I rather Cloud and Tifa be platonic soul mates, co-parenting Marlene and Denzel with Barret, than Cloud “settling for Tifa because Aerith died”. which that explanation for Cloud x Tifa, often used by Clerith shippers, just undermines who Tifa is as a character and her’s and Cloud’s relationship.

But anyway, even though I don’t ship them and Tifa is not my #1 girl for VII, she is a vital character. She’s not there for fan-service.  She’s not there exclusively for a love triangle and to cause tension between Aerith and Cloud.  Tifa is VITAL to Cloud’s story, to the story of VII, to the planet of Gaia. You wouldn’t have VII’s core story without Tifa. And I will go to the mat for her just as hard as Aerith did when she saw Tifa in the cart bound for Wall Market.

So again: you may not ship her with Cloud, or she may not be your fave in VII, but in this house we forever respect the badass queen whose name is Tifa Lockhart

The CyberLife app - Install today

One dark and dreary night during the android revolution of 2038, an RK800 android infiltrated the headquarter of the deviant androids. It delivered the unconscious deviant leader and his followers to the FBI, represented by one Richard Perkins.

“You knocked it out?” Perkins prodded. “Strange… our profile says you’re more agile than actually strong.“

“No, North knocked him out”, RK800 corrected the assumption.

“Wow. Their infighting must be worse than we anticipated. Neat!”

“Actually, no”, the RK800 said. “This isn’t quite how it happened.”

And the android remembered…

 Earlier the same day, at the Detroit Central Police station:

“I could swear it’s a deviant!” Gavin Reed repeated for the perhaps tenth time today. “That’s not normal, it going…”

“Looooook”, Tina Chen interrupted her friend, “if you are worried THAT much, just ask Hank to check Connor’s status in the CyberLife app.”

“That’s bulls… no, actually it’s not a bad idea”, Gavin conceded.

The “wanted for [insert crime]” and “missing our android, the kids are devasted, large finder’s fee!” notices were piling up at the DPD, something that shouldn’t have been possible, because every android came with an app that among other things tracked the damn things 24/7. But for some obscure reasons the tracking function failed when the android in question had went deviant. So if Connor was still showing up in the app… admittedly it could also mean that he had hacked the phone the little program was running on. But even so checking the app was a good start.

However, Hank only gave the two younger officers a blank stare when they inquired about the app.

“I haven’t got the fuggiest idea what you are talking about.”

“The CyberLife app! Come on, now! Everyone has it installed – Chris, Tina, me… it’s essential for managing your android, whether you bought it or got saddled with it as a product sample.”

“Uh-uh. That shit isn’t going anywhere near my phone”, Hank noped out.

But at least, the other two realized, he had confirmed to own a smartphone. Even Chris Miller, who was holding Hank Anderson in great regard, bordering on hero-worship, had come to doubt whether his idol bothered with owning such a devilish piece of modern technology.

“You want to tell me we have no means of controlling the new android?!” Gavin exploded. “Even if it’s a temporary loan only, we should have it registered in our equipment database!”

“Ah, should we? That’s nice…” Hank replied non-committally.

“You… you…” Gavin sputtered.

“The word you’re looking for is “You useless sack o’shit that will polish my snout if I do not go pester someone else RIGHT NOW””, Hank said, going from cheerfully-helpful to a low, threatening growl.

A minute later Gavin stormed Captain Fowler’s office, demanding the control codes for the RK800 android.

“I’ve mailed those to Hank”, the Captain started, before understanding dawned. “I’ve… mailed… them to… Hank. Oh, right. I see.” The sentence included to words that were utterly incompatible: Lieutenant Anderson and reading his own e-mails. With a nod and a few clicks Fowler forwarded the e-mail to Gavin’s work account. “There you go! Anything else?”

“Nah, nothing. Thanks.”

The Captain shook his head. Hank and Gavin! Android haters both of them, only Hank wanted the machines gone, poof into nothingness as if they’d never existed, while Gavin was mainly feeling threatened in his job-security and perceived awesomeness.

Much to Gavin’s dismay entering Connor into the database didn’t produce irregularities of any kind. That annoying, ugly thing was stable as fuck. But if there were no grounds for returning it to Cyberlife, maybe the situation could still work in Gavin’s favor…?

“This, Tina”, the man said with a grin while loading the CyberLife app on his own phone, “is where the fun begins! First we call over our new device…”

One push of a button and thirty seconds later Connor reported for service.

“Cute”, Tina said, then leaned over to get a good look at Gavin’s phone screen. “Can you make it follow wherever you point the phone? That would be kinda cool.”

“No”, Gavin answered, the same split-second Connor protested with a louder “No!”.

“But even so… let’s put it into customization mode!”

This time Connor only came to utter the “N” of “No” before he stiffened, awaiting the changes the program would force onto him by the will of his (temporary) legitimate owners.

“What the fuck, I cannot change that visage? On a detective android that might need to infiltrate locations?” Gavin wondered. “Stupid prototype! Okay, next is… ah, right. The damn voice.”

“RK800’s voice has been carefully selected to generate positive feelings and a warm welcome into any workplace situation”, the CyberLife app chattered away. “It is considered ideal. Are you sure you want to change the voice now? Y/N”

“Yes!” Tina called, grabbing the phone from Gavin’s hands. She circled through several voices before she selected one. “Perfect! And now the name… Connor is the default, time to change that!”

Gavin watched with interested what would happen next.

With a subtle “whirr” the RK800 android returned from maintenance mode.

“I am Ferdinand von Aegir!“ he proclaimed, a phrase that made Tina explode with laughter. “The android sent by Cyberlife. And you are silly.”

“Yes, yes! Do it again!”

When Connor von Aegir wasn’t inclined to do Tina’s bidding, the officer pushed the “test” button in the app. Promptly Connor went “I am Ferdinand von Aegir” again.

“That’s a meme?” Gavin asked.

“Haha, yes! Or it used to be one when we were teens. But you never were much of a gamer, huh?”

Tina handed the phone back. “You next!” she prompted her friend.

Predictably Gavin changed “Ferdinand”’s name to “Dipshit” and also made ample use of the test-button. Only when Hank came ‘round the corner, shouting for the “stupid, useless sardine tin”, did the duo revert the voice change. Gavin also typed something new into the name box that Tina could not see.

The android no longer going by “Connor” didn’t come to light anytime soon, because Hank had a rich pool of casual insults for it that could be used instead of an individual name.

Until RK800 found itself on the lower deck of the freighter “Jericho”, facing the deviant leader…

 Markus slowly turned around when he heard footsteps approach. He beheld the RK800 in its disguise and heard it say in its upbeat voice: “I am Your Daddy. Submit and follow me!”

“Is that a joke?!” Markus sputtered.

“No, this is very serious. I am Your Daddy, the android sent by Cyberlife…”

“That’s, uh, nice of Cyberlife. Yes, I really appreciate the gesture…”

This is probably meant as a distraction technique to throw me off? the deviant leader wondered. Out loud he said: “I’m an off-brand imitator product though. Not from Cyberlife.”

“I was instructed to bring you alive!” Connor chirped.

Markus hesitated. “By the person who named you?” he asked very carefully.

“No.”

“Ah, good!” Markus said with visible relief. “Well, maybe you and me can come to an understanding of a less… sensual nature?”

 Ten minutes later Markus introduced the RK800 to his friends:

“Hey, guys, this here is a new recruit. New one – meet North! North – meet Your Daddy!”

And that was the last thing Markus said for quite some time, because North punched him so hard that he temporarily shut down.

 Back in the present the captured deviants were still squabbling amongst each other, despite standing  with their hands behind their heads and lined up for transport to the recycling yards.

“That’s not fair!” an android wearing the old Cyberlife standard face protested, at which Perkins snapped “Shut up, tin can!“, but the blonde android retorted that he hadn’t been talking to the human, but to North.

“It really wasn’t fair of you”, the android addressed North. “Yes, you and Markus have been drifting apart and I admit in part this happened because of me, but even though your couple thing wouldn’t work out, he always had you in his mind. It was so kind of Markus to find you a new boyfriend, but what did you do? Punch him!”

This one, Perkins concluded, must be a BL100, a “perfect partner”. Even after deviating and  in the face of getting scrapped it was still obsessing about relationships. Oh, well, that would be Cyberlife’s problem in a few minutes, no longer his.

“Okay, that should wrap tonight’s operation up”, Perkins nodded. “Connor, was it?”

“Ah, no, actually I am Your Worst Nightmare Motherfucker… what the hell? Oh, no, they must be playing with the app again! I’m sorry, I…”

“You aren’t my worst nightmare, then?” Perkins sneered.

Already the man’s fingers were twitching, ready to draw his service pistol at this unpredictable prototype. It had served its purpose, after all.

“Then enlighten me, who or what are you?”

RK800 opened its mouth the exact same moment Gavin and Tina at the DPD were cracking up over another idea for a cool name that had just occurred to them. “I am A Deviant”, he said. “What? No I’m not! I am C… R… A Deviant! A Deviant! Oh, shit…”

There was no time to explain, because Perkins had already hissed “Should have known!” and opened fire. Simon, Josh, North and A Deviant dived for cover, dragging the unconscious Markus with them.

And the rest is history.

Feel like you've out grown most anime series? Don't know how to find new shows that aren't about teens yelling? Overwhelmed by options and "list" made by teen boys?

I had sort of fallen out of watching anime/didn't know where to start with new series. Standards have changed dramatically when you hit 26 from back when you were at 16.

So, Here's a couple anime series who shine in terms of writing, visuals, and imagination. All Relatively low energy and relaxing. Oh, and they lean far more feminist/meaning less cringy female characters that pander to 16 year old boys.

Barakamon: - a somewhat famous/young calligraphy artist goes to a small town island after a public incident. Where he learns how to redefine his relationship with his artwork, and generally grow as a person as his neighbors become like family.

Flying Witch: A young witch goes to live with her extended family in a rural area. Exploring with her cousins the quirkiness of a world usually hidden from non-witches, such as flying whales, ground fish, screaming mandrake roots, and cafes frequented by the Vale of night and a ladybug couple.

Kino's Journey- The Beautiful World :

This show can be dark, but not in the usual way. Kino and her (talking) motorcycle Hermes travel to different countries in a fictional world. Each country has a bit of an anti-fairytale feel. There's no agenda in the narrative of the writing. You simply explore with Kino, meeting people and walk through the dualities, such as in life, and move on. This description doesn't do it justice. The way it quietly takes on an exploration of topics rather masterful.

That one time I got reincarnated as Slime:

So this one can fall in terms of it's feminist criteria, but it's still got merit. This guy dies to protect a friend, making wishes about what he wishes he could have had in life as he does so. That criteria is met, the form that fits? Slime. He finds himself in a cave with a powerful, incarcerated, very lonely dragon, which leads to he himself become powerful. A goofy ball of slime now holding incredible power, feeling he's nothing to lose and can just relax. He ends up helping people and building his own country, kinda by accident. Just be being helpful and no longer socially afraid. It's pretty awesome. "Gender is a construct" definently come in to play.

Gun Gale Online:

This one has higher energy, but shit. It's responsible for me getting back into anime. Gamer girls kicking ass. However they want. Being the best at it in a game that often exhibits the qualities we think only manly males could enjoy. The main character is a tall, somewhat socially awkward girl, but in a way that women actually relate to. Her game persona is a small girl who comes to be known as the "Pink Demon". There's even a all girl teenage sports team that builds an online gaming team as a way to strenthen their bonds and work together- all taking the forms of bad-ass middle aged, muscle clad women and taking no shit.

You Only Live Once - Chap. 1

OMG You guys it is time! This is the very first chapter of You Only Live Once, the story that I wrote for the @yurionicebigbang with the amazing art done by @tk-a. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me while I got this taken care of. A special thanks to @inlovewithyoi, @yoyoplisetsky and @shadhahvar​ for taking the time to look this over! 

Title: You Only Live Once Author: @ladyley​ Artist: @tk-a​ Beta: @inlovewithyoi​ @yoyoplisetsky​ @shadhahvar​ Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: Katsuki Yuuri otherwise known as Agape is a world class MMORPG competitor on the Grand Prix Circuit. After a less than stellar performance at the finals for You Only Live Once Agape fades into obscurity much to the disappointment of the world’s top MMORPG competitor LivingLegend: aka Viktor Nikiforov.  While Agape fades, a new player with inexplicable talent emerges from seemingly nowhere: Eros. LivingLegend is drawn to the player after he saves his life in game. There is something vaguely familiar about Eros though... but he can’t quite put his finger on it.

Chapter 1: The Rise of Agape

Truth be told, the line was too long, the crowd too big, and Yuuri was beginning to feel the panic rise bit by bit. Knowing that his salvation was in the form of a door only a few meters away had him honestly toying with the idea of escape; but he had been waiting for far too long for this game to come out. He counted down the days on a calendar in his room as well as an app on his phone. The adrenaline from his excitement helped to temper the panic a little, but he would have been lost if it wasn’t for Phichit.

“Smile!” Phichit grinned as he threw his arm around Yuuri and smooshed their faces together so he could fit both them and the You Only Live Once banner in the frame. Yuuri gave a weak smile as he looked at the camera knowing there was no way he was escaping without at least one picture making it to Instagram.

He loved his friend, he really did, and Phichit was here specifically to give him moral support today, which was saying something. It wasn’t everyday someone traveled across oceans to stand in line with a friend for a video game. But then again it wasn’t every day a game like You Only Live Once came out either. If the only thing Phichit asked for during his stay in Japan was a few pictures to post on Instagram, who was Yuuri to deny him that?

“Excuse me?” A loud, vibrant voice called out and Yuuri turned towards the sound. He could see a blonde and red blob ducking around other people waiting in line and muttering apologies as he pushed his way forward. Yuuri was about to step out of the way when the teen stopped right in front of him and smiled maniacally.

“Um, I am sorry and I know this is random, but you are him right? I mean you have to be him.” Yuuri, to his credit, smiled at the enthusiastic man in front of him. “You’re Agape!” The young man’s voice screeched. Phichit hid a giggle behind his hand knowing how awkward it was for Yuuri to be noticed when he was in public.

The boy’s eyes grew ten times larger, if that was even possible, as Yuuri nodded his head in confirmation. “I am such a huge fan!” He went on waving his hands sporadically. “I watch your Twitch stream every other night. The way you play the Paladin in King’s Quest III…. I didn’t even know some of those combos were possible!”

“Th-thanks.” Yuuri said more as a question than a statement. The teen was bouncing up and down, his excitement apparently too much to be contained. Yuuri gave Phichit a glance that let his friend know he was trying to remain polite, but the fear that continued to bubble in his gut was threatening to burst out. He smiled fondly as Phichit placed a hand on the boy’s shoulder and took his attention away from Yuuri, if only for a moment.

Yuuri was not an average player; he never thought he was. He knew that there was a risk of people noticing him in public. He was after all living part of his dream. Yuuri was one of the players in the Grand Prix Circuit, and while he would never admit it out of fear of bragging, he was one of the top 10 ranked MMO players in the world. When King’s Quest III had been the biggest game around, Yuuri place 8th on the international circuit, just missing the cut off for the Grand Prix Circuit finals by two places. Out of thousands of players, he was 8th in the world. However, Yuuri liked to keep some measure of modesty, if he didn’t do it himself, his anxiety would be sure to do it for him.

“You know that if it wasn’t for me, Yuuri here wouldn’t be gaming at all?” Phichit said with a proud little pat to his chest. The boy looked at him in awe.

“YOU CREATED AGAPE?!” the boy yelled out and Phichit could only laugh.

“I don’t know if I would go that far.” Phichit waved a hand in front of his face, “I gave him a nudge. Yuuri here is the one that did all of the work!” Yuuri felt his cheeks go warm.

“Please? Can I have a picture?” he asked, pulling out his cellphone and opening the camera app without even waiting for confirmation. He pushed himself up to his tiptoes to make up for the height difference between them and clicked the picture before Yuuri even knew what was really happening. “Thank you so much! My name is Minami by the way. I really hope that I can play against you at some point! I am currently in the Junior Grand Prix Circuit but I am hoping to move up next year!” Minami’s words began to run together losing all semblance of the words that they were meant to be and forming a single long sound that Yuuri had to work hard at deciphering.

“Oh, that is a really big jump. What is your online name? Maybe we can do a raid or two together?” Yuuri asked politely. Despite the anxiety he knew that it was most important to cultivate relations with the younger generation of gamers. There were two reasons for this: first, the younger generation would be their legacy, so he always tried to take the time to help anyone who asked him, and second…. It would only be a matter of time before the next generation moved up and started to kick the current top players off of the podium. If Yuuri was being honest with himself he was looking forward to the challenge.

In years past, no one that Yuuri personally knew believed that video games would take off the way they had. No one expected they would become so wildly popular that they would spawn a whole new kind of sport - electronic sports. There were more leagues popping up every day for almost any kind of e-sport out there. While Yuuri did play a few first person shooters, massively multiplayer online games were his real passion. It was for that reason this game’s release was so exciting.

“I am lil’ Spitfire,” he proudly declared, body bouncing with the nervous energy that came with meeting an idol. “Are you serious? You would really raid with me?” Yuuri nodded with a smile. He had to give it to the kid, his enthusiasm was contagious and it was that kind of attitude that made e-sports fun. “Ohmygodohmygod! I mean….! You really inspired me to keep going when things got hard. It feels like the first person shooter circuits aren’t the only ones with really stiff competition! MMOs are getting harder and harder every year. You evolved your play style so much each year just to keep up with the rapid changes. While others are failing miserably at it you seem to be doing something amazingly right. It is really pretty incredible!”

Yuuri could feel his cheeks getting a little more red as the compliment passed easily from Minami’s lips. It was true, as technology developed the way MMOs were played became more and more complicated. At this point the circuit really was an adapt or die environment. He had been lucky that he had several play styles that seemed to work for him. Honestly, it was the only thing he credited to keeping him relevant in the sport.

“I don’t know if I would say all that.” He opened his mouth to say something else but a man at the front of the line bellowed out for the crowd to hush so he could give them directions on proceeding with pick ups. “Ah - well it seems like this is it.” Yuuri whispered, feeling excitement start to push away the anxiety, “I’ll be sure to look you up tonight and send you a friends request.”

Minami looked like a deer caught in the headlights. Phichit could swear he saw the moment the poor boy’s brain ceased to work at all. “Y-y-y-you want to play with ME?!” he screeched loudly causing a few people to turn and look at their group in annoyance. “I-I-I would be so honored!”

“Good, I am glad to hear that.” Yuuri whispered with a slight laugh. “Then how about we get these games and learn how to play them?” Minami nodded his head enthusiastically and Yuuri wasn’t sure if it was the idea of playing a new and groundbreaking game or the idea of playing the new game with someone he looked up to, but either way Minami looked like he could pass out with happiness and Yuuri felt warm with  the satisfaction of having done his job. A fan was happy, he was helping the next generation of gamers, and he managed not to have a total meltdown in the process. So far it was shaping up to be a pretty awesome day. Phichit threw Yuuri an all knowing smile and he couldn’t help but grin back.

Yuuri carefully unboxed his treasure when he got home. While VR gaming wasn’t anything new, the way this particular game was presented required a few extra components and boasted a whole new playing experience. In the past VR was more of a visual experience only. Games were presented in a way that allowed the user to have a 260 degree view of the field with the turn of a head rather than having to scroll with a mouse or a controller. Movement, attacks, spell casting, it all required the use of a controller. You Only Live Once was revolutionary in its design which allowed the user to BE the controller. The thought of it made Yuuri feel like a little kid on Christmas morning.

Gone were the stick controllers of the past, replaced with adjustable gloves that allowed the user complete control of their movement. Yuuri carefully placed them on giving a slight hum of approval at the feel. He was half expecting them to be stiff, maybe a little plastic feeling, but they fit nicely. It was almost like wearing a pair of gloves you would wear for winter except they breathed better.

“They are nice, I take it?” Phichit laughed from where he was lounging on Yuuri’s bed watching his friend with an amused smile.

“They are surprisingly comfortable!” Yuuri nodded as he took his VR set in hand and gingerly placed it on his head. He couldn’t keep the smile from his lips as the screen lit up and he saw the banner flutter across. You Only Live Once was proudly displayed in a beautiful flowing script. The music was low but heroic, an orchestra piece that brought to mind large battles and fights for glory. His heart started to beat a little faster in his chest as he waved his hand and the screen disappeared, leaving him to look at an old man dressed in simple brown rags. If Yuuri didn’t know better he would have sworn the man was right in front of him.

“‘Ello adventurer, I am Egered, what might your name be?” Yuuri knew instantly that this was everything that he was missing from every other MMO he had ever played as he progressed through the character builder choosing a tried and true Paladin.

I think I like this dress. It's a little shapeless, but then again, so am I.

But that's neither here not there. This evening's post is about who I am.

Being myself.

(This was going to be about dating and relationships, but a side topic wouldn't shut up, so instead it's about this.)

For much of my life, I didn't know who I was. I don't know if this was only, or even mostly, about being trans, or if there is something else. And that concerns me. There's this thing I do, or (I really hope), did for most of my adult life. I'd shape myself to the expectations/needs of the people around me. Not completely. I never completely disappeared, but nevertheless, I'd change.

I don't know when it started.

I was (you may want to sit down for this) a weird kid, and a weird teen. Preppies were just becoming a thing when I was in high school. Their uniform was the Izod polo shirt. I got my mom to pick one up at Goodwill, and sew the alligator from it onto a pair of overalls for me to wear to school. In Mu Alpha Theta (math club) I talked the sponsor into letting me run for the office of Minister of Propaganda, and I won. Was all that who I was, or was it who people expected me to be? I was the socially awkward super bright kid. Was I weird just because it's the role I thought I was supposed to play?

I don't know. If it was, that one was permanent. And I'm fine with that. I like being weird. But I did break the pattern. At the end of my junior year of high school, I ran for senior class president. It wasn't a joke. I wasn't trying to make a point. I tried to win. I didn't, of course. As a matter of fact, of the four candidates who ran, I was the only one who lost. Which was weird in and of itself, I suppose. But it was all me. No one suggested I run. No one expected me to run. I just decided to do it.

Then came college. I flunked out, due to a combination of undiagnosed (at the time) ADHD and executive disfunction. But, while I was there, my persona from high school largely just fit with the group I ended up hanging out with, a bunch of gamers. I don't know that I changed to fit in, but I don't know that I didn't.

For years, my only real social life consisted of playing role playing games, being with family, and, occasionally, hanging out with people from my role playing games. I didn't date. I had no idea how to meet anyone, and wouldn't have known how to ask them out if I had.

I was well into middle age when I finally started dating. And that's when I first noticed it. Not with the first woman I dated. I mean, it happened, but I didn't notice it until later. It happened once I became attached[1]. I would say the things I thought my partner wanted to hear. And once I said them, I would mean them. I would alter my behavior and habits to what I thought they wanted (within my limits).

I was self aware enough to recognize it when my first relationship ended, at least. I actually (sort of) warned my next partner about it. I told her that I knew I would change depending on who I was with, so I tried to be with someone with whom I'd become someone I'd want to be. I wasn't exactly lying. I believed it at the time. But at the time, what I was really doing was convincing myself that the person that I was already attached to would have an effect on me I was okay with, rather than honestly evaluating them.

That continued. I did meet someone eventually, and on a second try actually form a long term relationship. We got married, had a child, brought another into our family through (eventually) adoption. And I continued to try to be who I thought she wanted me to be. But, the thing was, I couldn't. There were things she needed me to be, that, try as I might, I just couldn't. And there were things I needed from her that I couldn't bring myself to ask for[2]. And then I realized I was trans.

And transitioning is for me. I argue, sincerely, that it is the right example to set for my kids. But I don't say that is why I'm doing it. I'm not. It's for me. At one point, last fall, just before I started HRT, my wife asked me something to the effect of "What say do I have in your transition?" And I was able to answer "I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but, except for where it might affect the kids, none." And I meant it. This wasn't about her.

Am I "cured"? Probably not, if that even means anything. But I have hope. I have further evidence that I might have grown, at least a little, into being more my own person.

This hasn't only affected my romantic/personal relationships. I noticed at one point that I would do this in job interviews. I would slip into the persona that the interviewers were looking for, I wouldn't _lie_, and least nothing big (never badmouth the current employer, for instance), but I would couch things in the terms they would want to hear. For some reason, in that setting, I have kick-ass social instincts. But I was not using them for good. I was pretending, entirely without meaning to, the be the person that they wanted for the job.

Ethically, I didn't feel bad about it. I've never applied for a job I wasn't eminently qualified for, and I'm very good at what I do. I deserved the jobs I got. But I felt icky, I said things, and meant them at the moment I was saying them, but I was actually changing how I felt for someone else. For a job. Ugh.

But I've done two phone interviews as me, Neither went anywhere[3], but I came out of both of them feeling that 1) I did well, and 2) I went the entire call without compromising myself at all. I spoke only the truth. I didn't shape myself into someone else in hopes of getting a job. I felt good about them.

So, I have hope. I'm not going to just assume I'll never do that again, lose myself to what someone else wants or expects me to be. I could slip. But I have hope.

[1] And I become attached way too easily, but that's a different post. [2] Yet another separate issue. I really need to get better at asking for and offering help. [3] Not a big deal. I'm actually pretty happy at my current job, but if I see an awesome looking job elsewhere, why not look into it?

As a teen, you brought over new romance interests every once in awhile to see if they would pay attention to that, but it never really worked. You grew angry at them and ran away on your birthday turning into a young adult without telling them.  A job opened up at a criminal service, and you decided to take it to the next level. Mischief and bringing new love interests to your apartment was the only thing that kept you happy and keep the thought of your parents away from your head. One day you woke up feeling sick, and took a pregnancy test. You were pregnant but didn’t know who the father was, so you kept the baby for yourself.

You wanted justice… more so, revenge on all those criminals, including you mother, and wanted to be good. Before being able to move out, you had a huge fight with you mother about what she was doing and asking her to realize what she’s done to people. You still didn’t want to lose connection with her like she did with your grandparents, but as soon as you became a young adult, you joined the detective career.

[selfrescuingprincesssociety]

How awesome is this??

"[M]eet the Silver Snipers, a magnificent stereotype-busting gang of geriatric gamers with an average age a shade above 71."

And there are women on the team!! I love stories of kickass gamer girls... and gamer grannies!

"Wanja 'Knitting Knight' Godänge, 63, is a city girl who likes to take out all her anger in Counter-Strike, using the game as therapy. She has been playing day and night so she can deliver at DreamHack. 'This is our first time competing in eSports,' she says. 'The younger crowd has been really supportive.'"

"Monica 'Teen Slayer' Idenfors, 62, has become close friends with Wanja. The two play constantly together and love slaying their (mostly male) competitors. 'Our families think we are crazy to compete at DreamHack,' she says, 'but we want to show everybody that we can!'"

[sweet-royalty]

Ok, so...

I’m not saying that I WILL write it or something like this… But I had this idea and it’s just blowing my mind so I think I’ll have to write it in order to make my head get back to normal xux

So… I was thinking about Altertale, made by the incredible @friisans and I thought… “What if there was an universe that is totally the opposite of Altertale?”

Like… What if there was an universe where everybody is swapped BUT Sans, Papyrus, Toriel, Asgore, Gaster and Asriel? xD

I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one to think about it but I think I’ll write down what I imagined for it!

1. Undyne swapped with Monster Kid

So how would it work… In this AU MK is actually MT (Monster Teen) and is the head of the Royal Guard. Their habilities envolve to be able to summon and control spears with magic and use their tail for body battles (by using it’s sharp bones or simply holding spears with their tail)

Undyne is a tough small girl who admires MT a lot for not only being able to do amazing things without arms but for being the strongest monster in the Royal Guard.

Just like MK in the original game, she follows MT whetever they go and tries her best to lure their attention. She also tries to make everything with her hands on her back so she can be as awesome as MT

2. Alphys swapped with Mettaton

In this AU, Mettaton is actually an AI created by Gaster to be one of his lab assistents. Gaster’s creation was so amazing (for the fact that MTT not only could think and act like any living being but because he also seem to be able to feel emotions as well) that made his recognition get even bigger.

After Gaster’s death Mettaton took his place as the royal scientist.

At this pointing time he was really close with Napstablook and Shyren (whose I’ll talk about soon) but after the incident with the Amalgamates he closed himself to everybody and never talked to anyone except Alphys everytime she wants something like a new perfume or a opinion about her newest perfomance.

Unlike Alphys in the original game, Mettaton don’t really like anime or anything like that but he’s an awesome gamer!

As for Alphys… Undyne is her adoptive lil sister (yeah, they don’t date here… Sorry). Alphys found her in Waterfall abandoned in front of Gerson’s shop when she was 6 years old and with Gerson’s help she took care of her the best she could.

Alphys always loved animes, doramas and asian music (she show a lot of them with Undyne) but had to deal with body issues and negativity because of the lack of representativity on everything she watched. She always wanted to become a star and make awesome works just like all of her idols but she didn’t felt like talented enough or beautiful enough.

Then one day, Mettaton was on his way to the garbage dump, to see if he could find any good games to play, he saw the 16 years old lizard girl singing and dancing to herself and actually got amazed by her talent.

Alphys got a “panic attack” after noticing that she was being observed but Mettaton quickly got in front of her and told how amazing and talented she was, asking his apologizes for interrupting her brilliant performance.

Long story short: They became best friends since then and Mettaton had the idea to present her to a performance infront of the king so he could allow her to have the recognition she deserves.

After seeing how busy and how her time with her sister would be short, Alphys left Undyne with Gerson and followed her dreams with Mettaton’s help.

Even tho she missed her sister and is sad about the fact she isn’t around Undyne never stopped to support Alphys’s job and scream “IT’S MY SISTER!!! I LOVE YOU, SISTER!!” everytime she watches her TV shows.

Even tho she knows it’s not enough, Alphys always makes her performances based on Undyne’s favorite characthers and write songs that, indirectly, tells about how much she loves her sister and want to see her again.

3. Napstablook swapped with Shyren

This point doen’t really have a big difference in the sense of how their personality works but here is what I can point.

Shyren is the one who meets you in the Ruins and she is met trying to sing something but is too sad and is crying so much that she can’t really achieve her notes straight.

Your main objective is to chill her in the right way by asking if you can help her with something and giving her a cup of water, than all you need is to cheer her up just like you do with Napstablook in the original game.

Napstablook is found lying on Waterfall while singing to themself but they stop the moment they realizes they are being observed and try to pretend to be sleeping. By this point your fight with them is pretty much the same thing it is on the original game except that you can ask them to help with their singing and start a big show in the middle of Waterfall, just like we do with Shyren.

Napstablook is still the one who saves you from Mad Dummy on the garbage dump but once you get in their house you can see them and Shyren living together there.

4. Temmie swapped with Annoying Dog

There isn’t much to explain here but there is a funny thing to add about Annoying Dog being on Temmie’s place.

The Temmie Village is called “The Annoying Village”.

Every single Annoying Dog will give you a different name when you go say hi to them but when you go talk with the last Annoying Dog he will only answer you saying “Don’t you have anything better to do?”

Annoying Dog isn’t really trying to get in collegge like Temmie in the original game, he is just rich and loves to collect things lol

5. Grillby swapped with Burguerpants

Their personalities aren’t really different here but BP is a little more cheerful working on his own estabilishment. He only gets a little angry when Sans arrive because he loves to mess with him everytime he gets there.

And BP can’t really forbbid Sans from eating there because he always cheers everyone on his bar with his stupid jokes and the fact his bar is always full of people is probably thanks to Sans so… Yeah, he forces himself to deal with him xD

Grillby on the other hand is too down to earth to get annoyed about anything and is a little too shy to have a good conversation with Frisk.

6. Catty & Bratty take Muffet’s place

Ok, now things start to get tricky…

Unlike the other changes you saw until now, Catty and Bratty takes Muffet place in the story by being two greedy girls milking money of everyone in Hotland with their expensive Gourmet Food. (I didn’t really thought about how their fight would be like tho, sorry).

But Muffet doesn’t take their place by being a poor girl who sells her pasteries behind Alphys’s hotel

7. Muffet takes Nicecream Guy’s place

Muffet is a good person who loves making pasteries to everyone and is tries to save money to help her family and even offers a picture of her small spiders as a gift for helping them… Her only problem is that she just can’t find a good place to sell her pasteries with people who are actually interested on it.

8. Nicecream Guy takes Catty & Bratty place

He is pretty much the same he is in the original game but he is actually really poor and can’t afford to buy a good handcart to keep his nicecreams, so he just keep them on a small box and waits until someone passes by and ask for a nicecream.

There is maybe way more to develop about it but for now it’s all I could think about xP And I’m actually really happy with it :3

I hope you enjoyed this idea so far and if you have anything that can complement it I’m open to suggestions xD

“Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul” - My review

(***WARNING!!! May contain positive opinions!!!!)

           I walked into this movie feeling two separate emotions: 1) I was prepared to despise it and whatever downgrade that came along with it. And 2) I still wanted to approach this with as much of an open mind as I could and give it a chance. Apart from the recasting controversy, the surge of downvotes on the film’s trailers on YouTube that surely make A Christmas Story 2 blush (yes, that actually exists), and the scathing reviews it has received on Rotten Tomatoes, you must ask yourself a few questions…does it really warrant the critical thrashing it’s being given? Does it deserve to be shunned away from the rest of the franchise? Is it worth my time just to check it out and see what all the hate is about? Is this just a shameless cash grab to make a quick buck for Fox? Well, let’s dive in and find the answers to these harrowing questions, shall we?

             This latest installment in the Wimpy Kid films follows protagonist Greg Heffley (now portrayed by Jason Drucker) and his family getting ready to embark on a family road trip for his grandmother’s 90th birthday. But after a ballpit mishap forever brands Greg as an internet meme known as “Diaper Hands”, our hero decides to use this family trip to his advantage. His plan is to reroute the van GPS to a video game convention so he can meet his favorite YouTuber, an obnoxious, catchphrase-spewing gamer named Mac Digby, and appear in his next video with the hopes that everyone will eventually forget the “Diaper Hands” incident. As the Heffleys hit the road, numerous hijinks ensue, including: another vacationing family with a crazy bearded patriarch who has it out for Greg, faulty car engines, dive-bombing pigeons who have an insatiable hunger for Cheese Puffs, disgusting roach motels, a technology ban that the mother Susan (now played by Alicia Silverstone) reinforces with an iron fist, a baby pig, and several other road movie inconveniences.

             Seeing as how multiple DOAWK fans, or at least the ones I’ve come across in my life, can attest to the fact that The Long Haul is one of the weaker books in the series, the fact that they chose to adapt this book for the screen was baffling at best. To pad out the runtime, the screenwriters (one of the them being Jeff Kinney himself) borrow elements from the other books to make everything balance out and have a “cohesive narrative”. For me, the better part of the movie is the last half because that’s where the story gets you hooked and it keeps your interest in just what will happen to these characters on the rest of their journey. It’s the only portion of the film where they feel like they’re a real family and it delivers some heartwarming moments that actually got an “awwww” out of me! The first half is more plodding and meandering, confused on whether or not it should give the characters something funny to say or do and is where a solid chunk of the expected gross-out humor and groaner jokes are, playing out like a Disney Channel recut of the 2015 Vacation reboot/sequel. Be warned, easily disgusted…there’s a barf scene that will literally make you thank the sweet lord that this DOAWK movie was not released in 3D. That doesn’t mean there are ZERO laughs to be found. The comedy is present but is executed awkwardly at times, isn’t exactly up to par with the original movies, and is more scattered and sporadic. You just have to really keep focused to find the particularly humorous moments. Plus, four words: Psycho shower scene homage.

             While many fans will disagree, the replacement cast doesn’t really bother me as much as I thought they would (except for a certain rock music-loving older brother in the family but we’ll get to him in a minute). Jason Drucker is aware he’s got some pretty big shoes to fill in taking over the role of Greg but you have to give this kid credit where credit is due. He’s got a bit of a young Zachary Gordon flair reminiscent of Greg in the first DOAWK movie but still manages to make this interpretation of the character something all his own. As for the parents, they aren’t too bad, either. They’re no Rachael Harris and Steve Zahn, but their acting abilities appear to be on both ends of the spectrum. Tom Everett Scott, playing dad Frank Heffley, looks slightly ashamed to be a part of the project but he toughs it out the best he can like a champ, and Alicia Silverstone on the other hand seems like she genuinely had a blast on the set and just enjoyed every second of being there. Bottom line, the brand new cast DOES pale in comparison to the original but they’re decent replacements and don’t half-ass their performances on screen. They were a pleasant surprise.

             But then you got Rodrick, played by Charlie Wright. After the trailers were first released, the recasting of Rodrick was what pushed Wimpy Kid fans over the edge. “#NotMyRodrick” was a hashtag that blew up all over social media, resulting in countless upon countless internet memes and edits. I will admit, a lot of those memes are really hilarious. But one would put themselves in denial and figure, “Maybe they’re saving all the funny Rodrick scenes for when the movie comes out but now we’re just saddled with the unfunny material”. But putting the controversy aside, does Charlie Wright do the character any justice? Um…they got that Rodrick is in a band called Löded Diper and likes rock music. That’s really about it. Now, in the books and movies, he obviously isn’t the brightest bulb in the tanning bed but he was still fun. Devon Bostick was clearly going to be a tough act to follow because he brought likability to a character we’re supposed to hate. Plus, he was the original emo dreamboat in many a pre-teen/teen girl’s eye. Wright, however, either over exaggerates his lines or is way too laid back. And even then, he doesn’t really seem to take the role all that seriously and is basically winging it. Out of everyone in the film, they wrote him the laziest by dumbing him down to Patrick Star levels (oh yeah...PATRICK STAR LEVELS!!!) He confuses a hotel safe for a microwave *insert immediate facepalm here*, he literally has the line “We’ve got a pet pig, now that means we’ll get bacon every morning” *insert double facepalm*, eats nine sticks of deep-fried butter only to go on a ride at the country fair and declare “I could totally go for another stick of butter” after PUKING IT ALL UP on said ride, and plenty more but if i list everything, we’ll be here all night. The only “A” for effort he gets is for a freak-out scene near the end of the film and it’s one of the few parts that got me to laugh but I dare not give it away here!

             I’m decidedly half-and-half so far, but what are the other elements of The Long Haul that need no nitpicking? The music score and the soundtrack are a lot of fun, the color palette and atmosphere pops off the screen and you feel like you’ve been transported back into the world of Greg Heffley again, and the final scene does get your heart in bizarrely sweet way. I don’t know, maybe I’m just a sucker for that kind of stuff.

             My overall thoughts in general?

             PROS: Most of the cast is alright, Jason Drucker is a passable Greg Heffley (I think Zachary Gordon would be very proud of him), the soundtrack, the last half is better than the first half because of its heart, only three laugh-out-loud scenes, and its aesthetic certainly feels like a DOAWK film.

             CONS: Majority of the comedy comes off as confused and unsure, Charlie Wright as Rodrick (seriously, man, what did they do to your character?), the gross-out humor is too much, most of the jokes fall flat, the first half could’ve been written better, and it somehow feels much longer than the past films but yet it has the shortest runtime out of them all (90 minutes).

             FINAL THOUGHTS: I can most definitely understand why critics are tearing this movie apart and why fans would do the same, too. Personally, I’m glad I at least sat down and gave The Long Haul a chance. Is it as great as the original movies? No. But for what it is, it could’ve been waaay worse! Would this have fared better by going direct-to-DVD, done as an animated special for Cartoon Network, or as a Netflix Original Movie rather than be released theatrically? Yes. Is it the trainwreck we all anticipated it’d be? Not really. It’s bad but not horrendous. Am I gonna watch it multiple times like I have with the past films? Nah, one viewing is good enough for me. While it is an unnecessary installment, The Long Haul is harmless and if you watch it only to find yourself loving it, then that’s awesome; it doesn’t make you an idiot or a bad person. It means that at the very least, you were able to find more to love in it than I could. So, if I had to give this a letter grade, let’s make it a “C” or “C-”.

ok despite the mi things i’ve been posting/reblogging i want to share one good thing that helps me cope healthily/distracts me and never fails to make me smile.

it’s daydreaming of a specific (wholesome and good) fantasy.

concept: a solid, supportive, and loving group of gamer friends who play tabletop roleplaying games together (and sometimes video games when we get bored/wanna try something new). i always see us as a diverse group of friends from all walks of life, from different countries and cultures. we probably met online and somehow ended up being really good pals who play games together, probably through roll20. we skype often and have our own whatsapp group where we share shitty memes and update each other on our life events because besides being a gamer group, we’re also each others’ support system. and for some of us, it’s the only system we have.

we play weekly and try all kinds of games/system. best part? no one is ForeverGM because we rotate, depending on the system we’re playing that week. and we play all kinds, my favourite being teen paranormal horror rpg’s like Bubblegumshoe or InSpectres, anything narrative-focused and stresses on relationships. we grow as a group, exploring different systems and improving our play style and GM-ing. 

when we want fantasy or to just kill stuff, we play d&d, dungeon world, or savage worlds. when we have really bad weeks and need something Good and Soft, we play Golden Sky Stories or Ryuutama (which is definitely one of our top 3 frequently played games). when we want to worldbuild, we play Microscope and The Quiet Year and use those worlds we built for different systems. when no one wants to play GM, we probably have a fun time laughing our asses off to our like, 14th Fiasco game. and every month, cause we probably have a mutual love for cryptids and horror movies, we play a horror one-shot game like Dread or Ten Candles or Fear Itself to spook ourselves out. BUT!! every Halloween we play nothing else but a serious campaign of a White Wolf game!!

our group would definitely have that One Campaign Game that we all love dearly and are highly invested in (i’m not sure which system though cause i don’t have this group of friends yet lmao but i was thinking Masks: A New Generation, probably a Powered by the Apocalypse system). we probably have a blog dedicated to sharing our adventures cause one of us is a total Amy from B99 who records every session with commentary. like, they probably made a google drive for our sessions just to keep track of everything. the other talented ones among us make amazing art of our characters’ adventures and some write awesome ficlets of it to extend the adventures in a non-canon way (or it could be totally canon!). and who knows, someday one of us might turn it into a podcast without sacrificing the fun. 

but at the end of the day though, we’re just a group of friends who really love games and are each other’s biggest fans and supporters.

and the reason we adore rpg’s so much is because it’s an escape for us from life, a safe space for us to be silly or be extremely serious in bizarre fictional worlds while having a really great time. it’s a time we put aside every week to make stories together and bond through them. 2017 has been an extremely tough year for me. i literally just decided to not continue my short semester for university tomorrow because my mental condition is worsening. i just don’t think i can do it without screwing up my grades and preventing me from changing courses. so sometimes when my days get bad, i get through it thinking about a group of people that plays games together. a group that allows me to, for a while, pretend i’m OK and functional. to have a good time with some good people. create positive memories and memorable stories. heal from my pain. help each other get through the day. good, wholesome stuff like that y’know?

i’m very lucky (and grateful) to actually have great support systems, friends and a supportive family that i love dearly. i kinda feel selfish that having those things still aren’t enough for me. even though none of them are interested in games the same way i am, i’d like to think someday i might meet some people like me online who just want to forget the world and be cryptid hunters (or befrienders omg who knows). it’s just... the idea of having a group of people that shares this specific interest/hobby as mine seems really nice. being an emotionally supportive support system is just a bonus, honestly. have a great day you

What Is Fortnite V Bucks then So how exactly does The idea Succeed?

What Is Fortnite And The Digital Currency V

Fortnite is a co-op sandbox survival video game developed by Folks Can Journey with Epic Games.
