Two system questions for systems with fictives:

1. How do you deal with fictives from a source you really like, such as your favorite TV show?

2. How do you deal with fictives from a project you're currently working on, such as a book you're writing?

Thank you in advance for any answers!!

Woo hello 🎬!! I kept all of your ask here -- I put it like this for my own easy scrolling, but no way am I cutting any of this, it's so perfect AH

Oughhhhgh Haruka getting more confident from hanging out with everyone and getting such positive feedback… I’d imagine the back to back innocent verdict and night of compliments would do wonders for his psyche ;-; And same for Muu and Amane! Minus the inno verdict, but the sudden influx of explicit compliments and acknowledgement of “hey, that was fucked up what they did to you, okay?” I wonder if there’s any awkwardness since After Pain directly follows Bring it On, but I like to imagine Fuuta and Muu have a deeper talk about things in private (and maybe Muu hesitantly mentions her involvement with Rei in preparation for INMF…)

Damn, who’s going to give the sex talk to the kids after Yuno’s vide-- Shidou. Sidou does. Without hesitation. They have to stop him because no one wants to hear it and everyone there already understands the basics.I love the idea of she, Mahiru, Muu, and designer Mikoto chatting about everyone’s fashion sense (I can imagine them poking fun at Fuuta’s tracksuit and Shidou’s patterned shirts.) And planning shopping trips that include everyone!!! Amane and Kotoko are given no choice in the matter, and a lot of the guys are genuinely interested in coming along.

Awww, I love the thought of Haruka getting into a “boy” interest with Fuuta and Mikoto -- he never knew what it was like to have brothers but he’s really enjoying it <3 (Also I’m cracking up over Fuuta trying desperately to convince them “it’s not cringe!!!”)

ASDFSDF Mappi just straight up sobbing and Mikoto handing her tissues 😂 But yes, she also gets choked up during Magic and Amane can’t figure out why. This begins the adults’ efforts to get her out of whatever situation she’s currently in (which Jackalope was already half-working on, but is definitely spurred on by several angry almost-murderers demanding he get it done now.)

I do like that idea of Red more comfortable with showing skin than Blue. (I know people are very emotional about the stalker theory, but I personally never took it in a harmful way. I always enjoyed how it was a symbol of stripping away everything else until you’re left with your true, whole self.) So I like to think that Blue feels too exposed, but Red/Green are the ones who pitched it in a symbolic sense! 

I’m losing my mind at Kotoko/Kazui/Red talking about sparring. Everyone else is like “hell yeah, let’s see it!” and Shidou just sitting there like “you all are going to be the death of me. You are NOT fighting.” Because I really want to think about it happening, I’ll say they manage to sneak away at least once and nearly break a prop in the process, to which even Jackalope shuts them down.

I think they all manage to get pretty serious again by the time T2 rolls around, but the hiatus is filled with a lot of sweet moments and healing conversations between everyone. Also, making so many plans for the future helps keep them sane when some of the project immersion gets a bit too real. Whenever they start realizing they might be condemned for their actions and worried that they’re too broken/they’re life is ruined, they come back to those plans and relax a bit.

Absolutely no pressure, but I would love to hear your T2 thoughts! 👀👀👀 I’m so incredibly grateful you’ve taken the time to share your ideas -- from the very beginning this au has been a big collaboration, so it’s super fun bouncing ideas around :D

Medical IDS

I'm about to buy a new medical ID, so I figured I'd share how I get those and what I put on them.

There are some companies which produce custom jewelry-style medical IDs, but I'm a little scared of breaking those and my health changes too often for that to be a practical expense, so I personally buy dog tags. I let people who I spend the most time around know that I'm wearing a medical ID. Almost all paramedics check the wrist, and some will check for a necklace (where I wear mine). I wouldn't recommend wearing a medical ID anywhere else.

The following information is what I put on there:

Full Name - This doesn't necessarily have to be your legal name, but should be the name that your medical chart is attached to.

Medical Conditions - Specifically, this should be conditions which can render you unable to explain yourself, either because your condition can make you unconscious, too disoriented, or create barriers in communication. My conditions include hypoglycemia, allergies, and POTS. Other conditions that fit this criteria might include diabetes, seizure disorders, narcolepsy, some cardiovascular diseases, etc. It may be helpful to include something like mutism or being deaf, if it would make it easier to explain yourself in an emergency. This site provides a good list (although their EDS information better applies to other subtypes, I include hEDS on mine because it's short to write.)

Medications - usually, blood thinners and Epipens. Off the top of my head, I might also recommend immunosuppressants, anything implanted (ports, insulin pumps, CGMs, pacemakers), and any uncommon meds or meds with dangerous drug interactions.

Emergency Contact - This should be someone who lives within an hour of you, and who you talk to frequently enough that they can help fill in the blanks on what you've been up to recently. Ideally, this is someone who can say "they stopped taking their meds a few days ago" or "they've had a headache for two weeks". I would highly recommend discussing what you want this person to do in an emergency with them. You should list full name and number for this person.

Other - you may also choose to list here if you have a DNR. Some people also choose to list an explicit "Call 911". You can also choose to give instructions, like "Meds in Wallet" or "Epipen in Bag", but its unlikely these will be seen in an emergency. Realistically, a medical ID isn't for the paramedics - it's for the emergency room.

feel free to send me an ask if you have questions!

Idk if anyone will see or respond to this, but if you’re in game design/development, what advice would you have for someone looking at trying to make a transition into the field? My undergraduate degree was in studio art--ceramic sculpture specifically--so I know I would definitely have to do some portfolio work/skill building. What about masters programs? Are they worth it? Is there a difference in how online vs traditional degrees (both from accredited institutions) are viewed when hiring? Any general tips?

the 'i totally wrecked my walls' saga gets funnier bc ive spent the past few days trying to figure out how tf to get out of the inevitable fine and one thing i joked about was that i have a lot of hard hitters on my side if shit really does get nasty. like my flatmate's mum is an actual soliciter, my dad is a finance guy who can write an email so scathing you'll cry, my local friend's family owns half the property in the city and knows all the tricks of the trade when it comes to housing, and then there's just my mum who was like 'oh yeah i regularly used to dodge rent in my twenties. you'll be fine' and somehow she's the one im finding the most reassuring rn

[dottores]

What advice would you give to someone who wants to improve their writing skills?

honestly, the main thing i'd advise is read! reading and practicing but especially reading if you're trying to improve, there's no better way to expand your ideas/writing quality than reading a broad scope of different things. i wouldn't limit to just a single genre either, ya, adult, classic literature, fantasy, contemporary, fanfic—i taught myself how to write & worldbuild pretty much solely by nonstop reading, no professional training or lessons or anything. just reading and writing, and when i eventually started sharing my writing, taking in feedback and applying appropriately.

How’s Larry with the other E4 Members? What do you envision their relationships to be like?

I like to think they're all on relatively good terms !

all the queer ppl at my school suck and Im not sure if that's just a shitty rural school or if Im an asshole

[salemander5000]

So for a while now, I've been chewing on the idea of a cyberpunk souls game that focuses on ranged combat. I'll probably never end up making it, but i did create some concept art a few months back.

Sadly, I've also been having issues with not being inspired to draw and feeling that what I have made recently is inadequate, and it's kinda starting to get to me.

[mindrole]

i want to repost stuff onto twitter, but i honestly am not sure how to go about it... @__@

i feel like dumping old stuff just feels a little weird, and i don't think i want to compile another poipiku yet, if anyone has any advice let me know...
