#its so i can keep track of this post

Its always so strange when people say they hate Odysseus because of tsoa - like bro those are 2 different characters, but also why? Like hes just a dude in that. Personally I didn't like the book and honestly my favorite parts were when he was in it. It was awhile ago when I read so I don't remember specifics, but as far as I'm aware, he's just a guy? Who shows up like twice? How did people decide to hate a character from a different peice of media because of this?

I have way too many alts that I keep to myself (which is why I generally refrain from posting them), but I'm going to ignore that habit for a moment just because I'm feeling particularly insane about this guy.

How did you manage to handle not one, but FOUR separate accounts in fl? I recently made the account for my HD little guy but having to do the tutorial again just seems miserable

there's... weirdly several answers to that question, actually??

a HUGE part of it is due to the way FL is structured. the 10-minute action timer is a core part of the game on a fundamental level, and the fact that i can very easily run out of stuff to do on one character and thus have an excuse to quickly and easily swap to another is just... convenient? satisfying? i'm not entirely sure how to explain it. the fact that i can make progress even while i am fundamentally simultaneously Not Making Progress is like pure dopamine for my freak insane awful little brain. there's just something really pleasing about spending all of my actions pursuing The Goal Of The Day™ on one account before casually swapping to another and doing the same without feeling like i'm wasting time or acting to the first account's explicit detriment. the downtime helps! the recharge time helps! the structure really really works!!

i'm technically only actively playing three, maybe two accounts minimum. the only reason the fourth (the one that'll be my future BaL playthrough) currently exists at all is so i can get his earlygame completely out of the way now and not have to waste time running through it all later, when what i actually want to do is play the ambition i've made myself wait a full year to play. and also getting free goodies as seasonal stuff happens,, something something surprise tools to help us later. the only two accounts i'd say i'm really "actively playing" at the moment are caeru and lark- and of the two, lark takes the most priority, since his ambition is the one i'm currently pursuing in earnest. for a couple months now- despite being My Main FL Character- the scoundrel has actually been pretty inactive on a gameplay front outside of the occasional progression in TLC and discordance content. purely by virtue of having Very little left to do outside of Very long-term grinds and vanities. they're in their "now what?" "now you can start playing the game" era. they've graduated to previous protagonist background cameo in a sequel anime series. they're like the yin FLPC equivalent of red at the top of mount silver. they're Literally just vibing rn. i only keep posting about them regardless because i'm insane and i will never ever ever ever ever let that bat go. but yeah, big TLDR, outside of doing the bare minimum to keep making waves/notability up every week, i'm not actually spending that much time on accounts i'm not currently actively interested in playing. and that accounts for way more gaming spoons than you might think.

i have a virtually lifelong history of playing MMOs, especially and specifically world of warcraft. i was born in the endless grind for useless video game pixel vanities and/or bragging rights. molded by it. you all have merely adapted to doing the same piece of content a pointlessly excessive amount of times for literally no reason besides whimsy and folly. me? i've done my time. i've served my sentence. i've spent weeks doing the original burning crusade netherwing dailies. i've devoted days to running praetorium over and over and over again, back-to-back, nonstop, long before square enix cut it in half and made it NOT take at minimum an hour and a half per run. i've perfected my silverwastes + auric basin goldfarming strategies. i've (almost) crafted dragonwrath tarecgosa's rest. i've killed the sha of anger so many times its dying scream of agony is embedded into the very fabric of my being. ""only"" doing making your name content four times over? that is nothing to me. it means nothing to me. it is so infinitesimal i can do the persuasive seduction quests in my sleep. it's not a matter of handling misery, or having the capacity, or even sighing as i remember the brass embassy raid segment of the watchful questline seriously i don't know why i keep forgetting that exists or what even is my problem with it i just am so consistently mildly inconvenienced by it and its highly specific resource requirements and it is the worst thing ever. maybe i'm just so used to the scoundrel's near-infinite money and troves of disposable items that i've completely forgotten what being poor is like. despite having done that step 3 fucking times now. ahem. anyway. i have transcended the feeble mortal bindings of my resistant-to-grinding flesh and ascended to a higher plane of enlightenment, they may call me insane but they will be the ones left laughing when they see what that "insanity" has wrought, i've usurped them, i've usurped them all-

hacks and coughs and awkwardly clears my throat. i mean. uh. um. Ahem.

the empress' court artistry + tales of the university nerfs helped too.

WIP Wednesday! Tagged by @firstprincehornyramblings & @tailsbeth-writes

Today's is a little jump to a different part of the story because we're getting to some good stuff and I don't want to give away more of Alex's the stranger's intentions.

I think at this point I can tell you all that I plan to have Vampire Alex finished and posted in time for spooky season! (Sometime in October)

So please expect many more WIP Wednesdays, Sentence Sundays, etc. to be coming from this story!

~~~

Henry ran his hand along the leather bound books lining the shelf. He'd spent hours upon hours in the campus libraries, searching for the earliest editions he could find.

But Alex's collection was something out of this world. Even the earliest editions the university had in stock were not as old as some of those he found in Alex's place.

Jane Austen. Mary Shelley. George Eliot. All older and dustier than Henry had ever laid his hands on, but somehow kept in pristine condition.

"The oils on your hands," Henry jumped when he heard the voice behind him. He quickly withdrew his fingers from where they were dancing along the spines of the books and turned to face the man.

"Sorry," He said bashfully and hung his head to avoid Alex's gaze.

Alex approached him and placed a finger delicately under Henry's chin. Tilting his head up ever so slightly, his breath ghosted across Henry's neck. Those two nearly faded pricks lit him aflame as he tugged the lapels of Alex's overcoat. The larger man hauled him against the bookshelf and slotted a thigh between Henry's.

~~~ eeeeeee apparently im on some beauty and the beast shit as well over here!

seeing the news: moonpaw is very cute.... dumb and inaccurate chimera thing tho but this is battle cats so lbr lol (plus i do like the dark side of the moon imagery idea so ill let it slide....even tho split face is just normal tortie markings)

also i hate to break it to yall but the series would need a total and complete rework and overhaul where the clans break apart and reform in order to escape the incest problem currently in the series just because of how much of firestars dna has injected itself everywhere >>;;

the authors clearly dont keep proper track of the family trees (they have a lot of cats to keep track of i get it) and i dont think it needs to constantly be this major talking point we all know it, its not ideal, but theres more interesting things to discuss about the character reveal for moonpaw imo

Since Clem can't really come out at school and has to be pretty stealth, they start thinking way too damn hard about what can and can't get them ousted as a transfem. Can't do cheer because, even though there are male cheerleaders here and there, there's not enough to justify risking her identity and safety on it, even though it's something they enjoy. So, what's close to cheer that isn't cheer? Gymnastics seems close enough. And there's enough boys there that she can join and not feel like all eyes are on them. Sure, it's difficult, but what's the worst that could happen?

It happens randomly no pattern yet?

Mainly on my knees and occasionally on my ankles
