one weird and annoying effect of me spending so much time on mainly american social media and watching all these american shows and movies and reading books by american authors and having all these online friends from america etc etc is that like.. when i write i no longer feel like i can set my stories in france? like, bc i write in english it feels like i need to set my stories in an english-speaking country, and the us is the easiest one to set up (i think in a way it kinda feels like the "default setting" of western media?). i feel like if i wrote a book set in france itd be weird or confusing to people, and also im always bugged bc like.. the stuff i write in english cannot be directly translated into french, like it doesnt correspond 1:1 to french sentences, and so if i set a story in france im always bugged bc i think "but that cant be what the characters are actually saying, because theres no equivalent to this in french". so i end up setting a lot of my stuff in the us, except ive only been to the us once and not long enough to get a good impression of what living there is like (not to mention ive only been to nyc), so i also feel like when americans read my stuff theyre gonna immediately go "huh? thats not how things are here. this author is a hack who cant do research." .. so then sometimes i set my stuff in fictional countries or in an ambiguous impossible setting which mixes stuff from various english-speaking countries + france, but then that makes my story immediately less grounded. this is such a big issue that it blocks me from writing entire stories i wanna write bc i just cant even begin to put them somewhere 😔
#97#ig the two options are like..#either suck it up and write shit set in france even if ik the language thing bugs me#or set it in the us and have someone from the area im writing about read through it and correct everything i got wrong#both of which are a bit daunting.#'sunny' is my one story thats explicitly set in france#and the language thing bugs me SO SO SO much.#even the tiniest bit like..#omars nickname for sunny is 'bunny'#which works double as a cute nickname + as a play on her name right#but in french itd be like.. 'lapin' which could be a nickname ig but#it has a totally diff vibe. its not as cute. it comes off more weird or forced as a nickname.#and it has nothing to do w sunnys name.#stuff like that is always annoying me.#oh yeah 'brotherhood' is also set in france i forgot lol and i had the same issue there!#the librarian in brotherhood makes a pun on the phrase 'early bird gets the worm'#but thats not a phrase in french and neither is 'bookworm' with which she makes the pun#so its like. no she didnt say that. she cant have bc theyre supposed to be speaking french.#actually sometimes i even feel like im not knowledgeable to write france either!!#like i wanna set something in paris but while im in paris often im always a passerby#and i feel like i cant write paris in an authentic and genuine way#so what am i just supposed to set all my stories in my city and nowhere else??#i probably overthink this stuff.

some ultrakill fans flaming people for playing on lenient/harmless is so funny to me because here i am in my little corner playing on harmless with Also 100% damage reduction (in major assist settings) because my severe anxiety cannot handle the idea of me taking any damage at all . i am wearing my propeller hat and eating my lollipop and i am having fun :3 (and maybe one day i can ease that anxiety and play without major assists)
#me when my crippling anxiety is crippling fr#listen . its not as if i Want to get fucking heart palpitations whenever a few goddamn filth spawn in a room#its just how it is . and the only way to ease my irrational ass anxiety is by becoming fucking invincible#I KNOW ULTRAKILL IS SUPPOSED TO BE A (at least somewhat) STRESSFUL AND FAST PACED GAME !!! do not get me wrong#but holy shit man . do not underestimate my anxiety#fucking minecraft survival stresses me out when i encounter a fuckin skeleton (unless its multiplayer . then Suddenly all is ok . stupid#ass anxiety bruh fml)#prelude was stressing me out . PRELUDE . THE FUCKING TUTORIAL#im hoping i can ease up and slowly raise the damage taken to at least like 50% . eventually#im on 1% damage rn because even raising from 0 to 5 was scary LMAOO#like its not as if i want to play it the fuckin baby way . i WANT to be able to actually play ultrakill with damage n shit#but i just have to ease into it ig . because i cant even play video games without my anxiety screaming at me smh . fym my anxiety is a#permanent fixture in my life ? bullshit#im just hoping i can play Normally someday . eventually . because while playing with like 0 damage is more fun than being stressed out 24/7#it Is ofc . a little boring (bc No Shit) .#i want to challenge myself and i will . eventually#surely if ive done all a b and c sides in celeste i can do ultrakill on harmless haha right#ignore the fact that theyre two completely different games and that ive never played an fps in my life#and also that i have 15k deaths in celeste LOL (at least the idea of dying in that game isnt terrifying . shrug)#intense games like ultrakill just aint for everyone . thats why the assist options are there and why there r easier modes#theyre there for losers (/lh) like Me !!!! and i appreciate that theyre in the game bc i Do rlly like ultrakill#and i Do rlly want to play it (‘properly’ someday) . its js that ppl have issues like motion sickness or anxiety#and if they need assistance or an easier difficulty to enjoy the game then thats fuckin fine#literally who cares . ive watched so many videos on ultrakill now and ive seen all the tech n shit and know all the lore#its not as if i dont know the game enough to play it properly lmao#but sigh . at least i can do fun movement tech (except boosting . havent tried yet idk) like slam storage#movement is ez . combat is Hard (but not in the usual way like aim . just Anxiety™)#im ranting so much im such a yapper . anyway#ultrakill#kristiliyaps

i just think it would've been way more interesting to be able to play as a dalish elf who devoutly believed in the gods who has to come to grips with the fact that the deities they worshiped so fervently turned out to be the biggest shitheels in all of history. like imagine how juicy that narrative would be.
#personal#dragon age#but you can't even play AS a dalish. the dialogue option near the beginning of the game when u look in the mirror specifies#that you weren't raised as such. so ur basically a city elf ig#and there are like maybe two entire options i can remember where you can pick whether or not you believe in andraste#but none i can remember where you say if you were a devout believer of the elven gods.#unless there was one and i just missed it#imagine if you could play as an elf who worshiped fen'harel#worshiping elf satan and then coming face to face with Solas From Accounting#IM BEING REDUCTIVE BUT LIKE. MEETING YOUR HEROES IN THIS SENSE WOULD BE SO FUNNY#“i worshiped you you know”#“and now?”#“i'm thinking of converting to andrastianism”#liveblogging dav#liveblogging dragon age#not really liveblogging just putting it here for organizational purposes

hello there! it's me, Tortilla, known mostly as Mod by the people who have been following this blog for a While!
if you've ever scrolled for a bit here, you've probably Seen that I've tried a few times to get back into posting more often and failed comically as i grappled with the dreaded Mental Eel Nesses and Executive Dysfunction, among other things. especially since ask blogs aren't as popular as they were back in the day when i made this blog (2015! turned 9 years last aug 15th! that's an entire child. jin owes me a lot of child support,)
(before anyone gets scared, no I'm not deleting anything lol gimme a sec to word this thought)
okay so like. cutting straight to the point not gonna get sentimental right now I'll save that for later: i want to keep this blog active REALLY bad, but as much as I'd like to, for multiple reasons i cannot draw as much as i did back in the day, which is like... the main thing i usually post here. so I've been pondering for the past year or so What to Do about it
my one idea is to turn this into a general kgpr blog and reblog other people's art and official stuff and the alike here, instead of keeping it Just My Stuff
but the thing is, if i DO that i would want to change my url, because reblogging art to a place that's named "badly drawn--" whatever is. i Don't Want That y'know? it's disrespectful lol
the thing is that that's soooo many links that would Break. among other things. (+ i have nooo clue what id change the name to but that's a different issue)
so like, my question here is,
#...ngl i could swear i had more to say in this post but i forgot so uh. jazz hands#mod post#ive been going back and forth on this for a While lol..drafting posts and deleting them and rewording#life's been rough but kp's been there for me always and recently ive been back in the pit again#(managed to drag some of my friends in! they're having fun)#and ive been doing a doodle or two here and there but they're not in the badly drawn™ style#and after nearly a decade i STILL dont know if im allowed to post my normal style art here#(yes i know it's my blog i can do whatever. my brain works in mysterious ways. not even my therapist knows how it works)#if i do repurpose this id definitely go back and make the organization system better too lol which may take a bit#since there's like. over 2k posts or smth here? last i checked anyway#maybe more#might be over 3k but id rather lowball it#anyways im rambling uhhhhh#feel free to give more options/ideas if what i said doesnt feel Quite like the solution ig?#i just know ive been getting new followers still even when i havent been posting and it makes me feel bad like OH NO.... I HAVENT POSTED....

why does everyone hate vegetables so much. they genuinely taste good. i prefer them to so many other "good-tasting" foods. like genuinely. give me your vegetables i will eat them for you give them to me now. seriously where do they get their icky reputation from. why do children hate them. i’m confused
#stria speaks#i was going to say this is because i'm indian and we have FANTASTIC vegetable dishes and then i realized. i like white-people salads too#ate a salad almost everyday for two weeks straight because of a program i was doing once#because i wanted to not because it was one of the only vegetarian options available#i also ate pasta. this is irrelevant i feel#it was genuinely good??? like i liked it??? it was yummy#i don't understand why people act like eating salads is a chore. i love salads#people were (light-heartedly) making fun of me for it like “oh are you on a diet? i could never. salad only for five days straight???”#ig i’m on a diet if you count being vegetarian as being on a diet#but i’m not on a diet in the traditional sense#VEGETABLES STAY ON TOP#nobody understands the joy of eating a perfect combination of vegetables with different tastes . . . they all compliment each other so well#vegetables#vegetarian#vegetarian food#food

i… wh…. HUH?????
#THEY WERE SICK AND TIRED OF US GUESSING THE SILHOUETTE CORRECTLY IG#but. if this IS blade like the blurb suggests..#does. does that mean this is going to be another double top event??#which. the fucking audacity to have a double top event with yakumo and NOT have it be with quincy#OR#are they seriously not having a yakumo ssr this time around#and having like. a blade edmond event#because both of those options are fucked up tbh#i KNOW they aren’t doing two triple banners in a row#so it’s gotta be one of those two#and honestly i don’t know what would be worse for me#nu carnival

Bleh.
#I'm at a crisis point in my life where I know I'm unhappy and want to make serious changes to counter it#But it all feels so fucking deadended and lined with logistical nightmares#Like it's obvious what I want friends/new experiences/travel but what's not obvious is how to get the money to do any of it#Absolutely no one wants to hire me I've been sending out applications nonstop for years#And I just get ignored!#And I don't know how much of that is my fault!#It's not like I can just stroll up and say yes 1 well paying job pls#The other option is to liquidate all my assets and live hard for a year or two#But that would also mean being homeless ig#Trying to live via my creative outlets doesn't seem like an option either no one wants anything I make#And I'm so fucking dead inside I can't create much anyway#You gotta live by the grind!!! What grind#There is no grind I am lying on the floor

*spongebob's hawaiian cocktail playing* I'm gonna end up texting first like always aren't I
#bro i feel so lonely 😭#if i text this one friend and actually say yes im most likely gonna feel even shittier afterwards like always but like#i dont have. a lot of options to choose from. haha#:(#i wish i still had people that wanted to hang out with me i have to do everything lately#and i feel like such a burden asking people to put up with me#i passed near an ex friends house today so im feeling too nostalgic ig#tengo que levantar la pala de una buena vez asi no tengo tiempo para nada. ni para sentirme mal#haunted.txt#i do all the reaching out on this one friendship in particular#be it trying to check on her. just talk or visit#i dont mind going to buenos aires but it would be nice if we could hang out here sometimes#and I KNOW she comes here sometimes. she just never wants to see me in particular when she does :(#she always has other stuff going on the few times we hang out so she will either be ignoring me#or doing whatever else she needs to do while i wait outside or drag behind her#which i dont mind usually! i love acompanying friends to do whatever tasks they need to do#but when i see a friend i had to travel 2 hours to get there and we see each other maybe two times a year#it would be nice if at least i could talk to them for more than 5 minutes you know :)#im probably complaining about stupid stuff

Most of this is exposition, the last tag is the description
explain your gender in 10 words or less without using boring words like “male”, “female”, “nonbinary”, “masculine”, “feminine” or “androgynous”.
go!
#so like#i was born one way#spent a few years like that#somethings from being like that really stuck with me while others didnt#ie: love of fashion but not a fan of the physical aspects#tried a different way#that didnt really fit either but i did really like how freeing it was#so then i tried an option that i didnt even think to try and it fit like an old glove#but some of the things from the last two i tried are still there#and at least by most cultural associations i shouldnt care for them now#so i dont fully consider myself to exist properly in the eyes of others#like a cryptid#so ig the descriptor would be cryptid

ANYWAYS what if linebeck was a playable unit in a loz/fire emblem crossover sorta game using the fates system. this is fully self indulgent
joining class: adventurer (outlaw base/access to bow knight) (joining at level 1)
stat growths:
hp: 40%
str: 50%
mag: 25%
skl: 70%
spd: 70%
lck: 40%
def: 30%
res: 30%
heart seal reclass options: apothecary, merchant, mechanist
personal skill: fight or flight; when unit initiates an attack, grants +10 hit/crit. when unit is under attack, grants +15 avo/ddg.
starting items: killer bow, freeze staff
recruiting: appears on map as an enemy unit who will not move to attack, instead targeting and opening chests on map. when any allied unit moves into movement range, switches to escaping the map, and will attack or freeze nearby allied units. to recruit, use the ‘talk’ command when adjacent to unit, only possible using link.
he’d likely have a normal amount of support partner options. pair him with someone that can boost his survivability or something
#salty talks#‘why the fates system’ bc its my favorite and i understand it the best. its just fun#his growths feel a little high but hes intended to be a prepromote so i figure hes got okay bases but then good growths#and i dont have base stats down bc that would require knowing at what point in the game he can join and the expected army levels#cuz hes not meant to be like a shura or a reina he’s like. a normal ass unit with normal potential. probably one of the last youd get#honestly in the grand scheme of things with this wider hypothetical loz/fe crossover having a similar route structure to fe fates#i imagine linebeck would be a set of two where hes locked to the nohr equivalent route with a mirror in the hoshido equivalent#both being accessible in the valla equivalent. i think the mirror would be basara (base diviner) midna w/ dark mage heart seal#she gets a somewhat busted personal skill too but idk what it would be#i do acknowledge that linebeck personal skill is like. Good. main drawback being it being conditional#and his bad survivability. and the fact that it does nothing to patch up him being bad as a support option#the idea is that he’s at his best when strictly a combat unit. i thought abt how he’d play. he starts with a freeze staff as a hint#killer bow serves the same purpose the idea is that it all screams This Guy Is A Glass Cannon Dodge Tank#also balanced out by him liiiikely being a pain in the ass to recruit#running away w/ like 7 mov and a good chance to crit the fuck out of your units and slowing them down#i could see promoting base mercenary link into bow knight specifically to make recruiting linebeck easier#ive thoughts abt link too. hes the player character. sniper zelda and dark mage ganondorf are the route reps#zelda should be a kinshi knight and ganondorf is ofc dark knight.#anyways linebecks kinda a bad adventurer on acct of the bad mag/res but i think itd be worth getting him lucky 7 and pass#and the class does play into his strengths esp as a likely worthwhile dodgetank option#bow knight is good for the skills mov and melee option but then you have beast vulnerability#apothecary classline is. i dont like its skill but i hear replicate (mechanist) is good if you know what youre doing#and ig a profiteer + spendthrift (merchant) combo could be useful for further combat ability boosting#idk man. holds up his hypothetical pixel map sprite. hes here to fuck shit up and fall over at the slightest breeze that does hit him#realistically i think 30% def/res isnt a killer but paired with 40% hp and those bases being liable to being a little low. hm#i thought abt lowering his res/def growths further but 30/30 seems okay. adding everyonr up iirc#gives him a sum total that’s lower by a bit than ryoma’s growth rate sums#was mostly going off of niles from the start before going off the rails. whatever here
