Something I did not notice playing the original but am aware of now is that hair options are tied to your selected base.
For male characters, that means if you want to get hair that just pretends to be long, you need to pick one of the more mature models, as young men apparently can't have long hair as per NLA laws or whatever.
Why must developers be allergic to allowing male characters in character creators to just have good long haired options?

favorite color: PURPLE!!!!!!!! specifically a very light, almost grey/white shade of purple, kind of like lavender. followed by blue, pink, and black.
favorite game: 2 years ago it would've been genshin but i dropped it. rdr2 is deffo up there. stardew valley i have soo many hours in. the game i have the most hours in tho, is the sims 4. i have almost 2k hours and over 4GB of mods 💀 i've spent far too much money on that game..
song stuck in your head: songs are constantly revolving in my head. the last couple have been beverly hills by weezer, beating down yo block by monaleo, and von dutch by charli xcx.
weirdest habit/trait?: pretending im a superstar and belting out the lyrics to whatever im listening to 😭
hobbies: writing, binging tv shows (watching yellowjackets currently), videogames ofc, doomscrolling...watching movies when i feel like it, reading webtoons. im now realizing i need more offline hobbies.
if you work, what's your profession? rn im just focusing on school but i'll probably have to get another job soon 💔
if you could have any job you wish what would it be? ....twitch streamer or youtuber...it just seems so fun and i always pretend im streaming when i play games 😭
something you're good at: writing, i think?! i would like to write actual novels as a side job one day.
something you're bad at: locking in, prioritizing work over play. im trying to get better tho.
something you love: listening to music in the car. seeing my hard work pay off. when its rainy and sunny at the same time. rereading yalls comments on my fics 💖
something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: MY SIMS!! i've had a "legacy" family for generationsss, i think we're on the...eighth? maybe? right now my family is a super-smart professor who's the son of a pop idol, married to a gorgeous trans lawyer, and they have 3 kids plus a dog named carrot <3.
this is lowkey making me want to make a sims sideblog 😭
something you hate: tailgating when im already speeding. people with no ambitions or goals. strawberries.
something you collect: dolls, specifically ones with historical outfits. there's tons at thrift stores cuz no one else wants them 😅
something you forget: EVERYTHING. its actually annoying and im pretty sure its adhd or smthn but i dont have the money or patience to get diagnosed

what were you like as a child? super shy, super smart, always reading. simpler times..
until 6th grade when i discovered wattpad. 💀
favorite subject at school? english!
least favorite subject? math...im not bad at it, i just don't like it. at least it's straightforward, you can excel with enough practice.
what's your best character trait? i like to think i'm super funny but i can also give good advice.
what's your worst character trait? i am so, so cringe.
if you could change any detail of your day right now what would it be? i have an awful headache thats probably cuz i haven't had a drop of water today.
if you could travel in time who would you like to meet? anyone in history?! idk!! theres way too many people! maybe eve so i could tell her NOT TO EAT THAT APPLE. that's really the origin of all my problems 😓
recommend one of your favorite fanfics (spread the love!): ughh, i love so many. but there are two that equally live in my head rent free: strangers by wintrwinchestr and smother by beardedjoel. they both inspired me to put my writing on here and they're both crazy nasty and dark. 🤭
okay SO SORRY for yapping but that's what i do best! some tags, no pressure: @thoughts-of-bear @mssalo @buneio @lovely-vamp-princess

Something I do that seems cringe but isn't:
All my OCs are PopStars in my head
(a project in normalizing my neurodivergent behaviors - I talk about my maladaptive daydreaming habits and hyphantasia. I try and talk about behaviors I've never seen anyone discuss)
All of my OCs are musically inclined. All of them can play music or sing or something. Especially the girls. Why?
Cause they're PopStars. All of them.
Am I the only one who does this?I'm SO curious.
Tumblr media
This how they be in my head I'm so deadass
I like to listen to music a lot while daydreaming. It's a huge daydream trigger, especially for my hyphantasia.
And I can daydream full length music videos with outfits and sets and themes without much effort at all.
And I do it ALL THE TIME. WITHOUT MEANING TO. I don't even think about it at this point.
I can tell which character sings what part, and when a certain singer sings a line in the song, the appropriate character will take center in the music 'video'.
There's chereographed dancing, outfit changes. Like a constant popstar AU.
I've done this for years. And at this point I don't have to think about it.
If anything I do it to relax, it's like turning off my brain vhhvhohococ and I'll just sit there and do it for like thirty minutes straight lol
And honestly THAT'S SO FUCKING COOL I MEAN writing it out right now it sounds almost fake but I promise there is a VH1 Top 20 Music Video Countdown show going on every time I listen to music
I find it's really helpful even when I'm not doing it.
It helps at keeping characters different, because I'm seeing them as if I was looking at the Spice Girls, with each woman needing their own style, attitude, vocal strength
Certain characters have a certain tone of voice - so if I imagine a character as an alto, from then on they can only really appear in songs with altos.
Some songs go to certain characters based on personality and lyrics and beat
I have playlists of 'albums' each girl group would sing.
Each group has a name too, sometimes the albums even have names.
And this is my brains default music mode. As a kid I remember having an ipod nano and sitting on the long subway rides listening to music and doing this for like an hour straight.
RIGHT NOW:
The main group is named Dianne (can be pronounced Di-anne or Di-An-Ne)
It's a musical duo of my OCs Disco-Spider Diane and her varient Annie - also named Diane, hence the name. (I haven't posted Annie yet but I'm gonna talk about her anyway because you'll get the jist right it's no biggie)
Their current album: Perfect Package EP
Top song: I Am - Baby Tate (feat. Flo Milli)
other songs: Area Codes - Kaliii, Vroom Vroom - Charli XCX, BRAT - Chrissy Chlapecka, Down Boy - No Angels
Concept: Bratz (Diane) vs Barbie (Annie)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Annie's outfits:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Solid and bright solids and checkered patterns - mod style
Diane's outfits:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Scantily clad Courtney Love DiscoPunk
DO YOU SEE THE VISION
Umm. This is kinda embarrassing for me to talk about that's the point to make it not embarrassing
But it's like something so personal and writing it out it's RIDICULOUS how detailed it is butuhhh ISN'T IT COOL TOO anyway uhhhhhh :)
Does anyone do this too. Or like.......
yeah HERE HOBIE.
Tumblr media
BYE.

which atla/tlok would unironically listen to sabrina carpenter
OKAY LET'S GO!!!!!! (This'll be really long, like really really really long, Jesus Christ mod I'm sorry)
ATLA:
I think Sokka and Katara would discover it more so at the same time. With Sokka hearing the lyrics and getting SUPER enthralled by the songs, and after some time of Katara or any other member of the Gang poking some harmless fun at it, she'd come around listening to Sabrina with a 'it can't be that good can it?' mindset and obviously doing a hundred and eighty into being a super avid fan alongside Sokka. Mainly blaming him for getting her into Sabrina Carpenter but just having the water siblings be addicted to Short n' Sweet just as it came out and knowing all the lyrics by heart. (Katara's Sabrina carpenter arc is to go from sceptic to wholehearted fan of her music plus possibly getting Busy woman engraved in her and Sokka's brain)
And from there on, I think the Gaang would get some songs of her stuck in the head. Toph wouldn't really like her as she'd have a music taste that really doesn't come near pop or trending artists, (except Charli xcx bc Toph is def brat) but she'd also come around to liking some of the songs and tolerate them. But mostly isn't her vibe, like an occasional enjoyer. While Aang, on the other hand would like Sabrina carpenter FAR more, he enjoys some bops of hers mainly because he has very good memories of listening to her music with the water siblings, and hair having an overall good time. He finds it very appealing, but far from her favorite artist, as he'd have a VERY diverse music taste where he listens to everything, but knows just what artists and genres he likes. He's more of a casual enjoyer, not a fan.
A different case would be Suki, because she likes Sabrina Carpenter and is able to recognize her bangers and insanely catchy tunes, yet she doesn't get the hype from it. Even getting tired if songs after Sokka or Katara played her songs on loop. But she mainly did a massive effort to get into Sabrina Carpenter for Sokka. Since he had to go through an ENTIRE concert of Trustfully in Love, for her, so she did the extra effort as well. And ended up liking Sabrina Carpenter just a little more after seeing how much Sokka loves her music.
As for some other characters, I think that from the Freedom fighters, Smellerbee would be the fondest of her music. Constantly yelling 'SHUT UP! STOP THAT!' or walking away somewhere else whenever any of the rest notices her singing or humming songs, and tease her about it. Pipsqueak and The Duke would mainly do the teasing things and not care much for Sabrina Carpenter. But I think Longbow would someday quietly ask Smellerbee to show him her music, and then become a fan of her after some time. Mainly to avoid having Smellerbee so embarrassed about the rest poking fun at her for her music taste, plus they'd have one more thing in common, and they'd hang out, doing their own tasks while sharing headphones and chilling together.
As for Jet, I think he'd also tease a Smellerbee a little but then have to calm the rest and make the rest go on without bothering Smellerbee much. But he'd still tease her a fair amount when no one's around. However, that'd change when he sees Longshot gaining interest and some day he'd come around with Katara's same 'it can't be that good can it?' mentality, and of course, I turns into a MASSIVE fan. But he'd be utterly embarrassed and secretive about it, no one aside from Smellerbee and Longshot knows how much he likes Sabrina carpenter, and he HAS to physically restrain himself from starting to sing or hum any emails I can't send bangers from way back while doing any chore or task at all.
Alright, now for the FN kids, I really like the idea that On Ji and the rest of the kids from the academy Aang visited would eventually see him again. Likely going to a Sabrina Carpenter concert and recognizing each other despite the wildly different looks. I'm sure they'd all love Sabrina Carpenter, but On Ji IS brat for sure. (TINASHE FR!!!!)
Also, I wholeheartedly think Ty Lee is a Sabrina Carpenter girlie. Without a flicker of doubt.
She'd previously be an Olivia Rodrigo fan, especially about GUTS, but she'd have her kind blown away by Sabrina Carpenter. She'd become a super avid fan and really like her songs, even if she started listening to her in a 'well this is what everyone likes so I must check it out' way, but she'd then fall in love with her music and learn to create her own music taste, even while not shutting out any other artists she could like someday. Meanwhile Mai would get a bit of the carpenter hype because Ty Lee would get infamously insistent and pleading for her to listen to a couple songs. And yeah, Mai wouldn't like it, at all. But it started to grow on her the longer and longer she started to define herself outside of the closed off, apathetic persona forced to wear to avoid trouble. So Sabrina's Carpenter would grow on Mai, even if it wouldn't become her music taste at all, but mainly because it'd hold a hehe special meaning for her.
As for Azula, she would listen to music at all. Never. Only if it was music coming from anything the servants could play or that she played herself (talented violinist Azula anyone?), but, she'd remember a song or two about her when Ty Lee and Mai stopped being her friends and went away. And remembering her music would make Azula really really hate it. However, I do think she'd hum a song of hers. once. For the sake of nostalgia, even if she wouldn't admit it.
Finally, Zuko. He's a secret Sabrina Carpenter enjoyer, kind of like Jet. Though he'd find out about her from cremated of his ship gossiping about her lastest hit around the echoey halls. And he's gain a POWERFUL distaste for Sabrina Carpenter. Especially because he's irrationally think it distracted his crew from focusing on finding the Avatar, and also because he's probably find it too girly, or yucky, unappelaing or corny, or whatever you want. (He absolutely hated it when he was going through the Earth Kingdom's dessert and all he could think about was 'lonesome' while he was famished and dehydrated) But he'd hear about her music again from Jin, back in Ba Sing Se. Since she'd be a pretty casual but thorough enjoyer of her music, Zuko would just hear her mention it while trying to banter in that awkward ass date they had at the restaurant and scowl and pout at the mention of it. But I think Zuko would start to eventually and discretely listen to a song or two of her, never liking the entire discography, he'd especially hate emails I can't send when he'd start listening, but he'd start listening to it between breaks or cleaning when the teashop closed. He'd probably start liking it but immediately drop it and start hating it once book 3 started bc it reminded him too much of all he's done and of Ba Sing Se. Not to mention the previously fleeting moments of joy in what was a life of hardship, obsession and mistakes. So in the FN, he'd especially avoid Sabrina Carpenter's music like the plague, but end up unable to since Ty Lee had the carpenter brainrot and managed to infect Mai with it. He'd get all pensive when remembering how much happier he seemed back then in comparison to all his status and situation in the FN, because if Sabrina Carpenter songs (yes I am fucking fr). He'd also have arguments with Ty Lee whenever she said that Sabrina Carpenter is better than Olivia Rodrigo, especially cause he vibes A LOT with Olivia Rodrigo's music, and would defend her with nail and teeth. Both would end up admitting that they defended their preferred artist and that both are amazing, with the passage of time. (Both root for a Collab. We all do.)
But in the end, when he left and went off to join the Gaang, I can perfectly see him in his war balloon, quietly murmuring Espresso to himself. Afterwards, I think he'd start connecting with her music again after the Gaang also seemed to mostly like her music, and in the end, he'd turn out to like Sabrina Carpenter's music, wholeheartedly. Though at the start he'd be incredibly secretive about it and constantly yell at the rest 'ITS JUST CATCHY' and stuff like that whenever they heard him murmur some songs to himself, he'd eventually turn out to not mind it and just go along whatever he was doing, just occasionally humming her songs or singing slightly when others sang. (It'd take a huge amount of trust to have him sing comfortably around other people and not hide it)
Aaaand I don't really think any adults from atla would think much of her. But Truthfully in Love would be FLABBERGASTED to discover her music, thanks to Sokka coming over to their concerts because of Suki, yet again. They'd immediately idolize her music and make a ballad in Sabrina's Carpenter honor, (they'd call it 'working woman' to avoid accidental copyright) and it'd make Suki think Sokka ruined Truthfully in Love. But, I have to say that June is probably one of the few absolute fans that listened to her music from the start. She would just listen to music or sing melodies to kill time between each ride on her Shirsu from bounty to bounty, but she'd immediately recognize her talent and become a fan since day one. (We just know Zuko DESPISED that first time he hired June and HAD to get a ride on the Shirsu while she explained what Sabrina Carpenter was to Iroh). But aside from her, I think only Bato would be a really casual and chill enjoyer that grew into a fan, and mostly had the water tribesmen get earworms with her songs, and he's mostly tease and poke at Hakoda to try and get him into Sabrina Carpenter as well, jokingly, mostly.
Aside from them, I think Iroh would be pretty chill and casual about her music, not a fan but a very avid casual listener. He gets the music, it isn't his style, but he likes it enough. And probably teased and embarrassed Zuko once or twice when asking if he liked 'that music that you youngsters listen to nowadays'. Earth King Kuei would become a MASSIVE FANBOY once he got out of Ba Sing Se and roamed around. And I think Ozai would despise her music, in case anyone asked, he'd despite it because it didn't fit with the FN's standard of music and he'd pretty much ban it from the palace and entire capital, hell, nation, even. Depending on how ooc we get here. But it'd be absolutely hilarious if he'd someday quote ant line from her songs and used it on a few meetings and councils. (Ex. 'ive got them wrapped around my finger'/'thats not very espresso of you' kinda ooc shitpost thing)
That's all for ATLA!!!! I'll do another ask with TLOK later because holy fucking shit am I a serial yapper.

how often do people make their first post their pinned
hello!! my name's phoebe laine, nicknames include phoe and pheebs [this list needs some expansion]. you can call me by my last name too, or by one of my older names, vivienne. i am a 19 year old transfeminine woman and my pronouns are she/her/it/its/puppy!
i gained a newfound appreciation for music production and singing not too long ago and have picked up learning fl studio for over a year now, mainly making dariacore or just EDM in general, or whatever i feel like making. some of my favorite artists of all time include jane remover, lexycat, vylet pony, xaev, twikipedia, charli xcx, kendrick lamar, and tyler the creator, just to name a few.
along with music i also am passionate about minecraft speedrunning, specifically random seed glitchless and all advancements speedrunning (feinberg is the best to ever do it you can quote me on that), though i do like to run other categories like areessgee, filtered seed glitchless, and set seed glitchless, and occasionally play the speedrunning ranked mod. i started playing in october of 2023, and my best any% time is a 12:01 and am working towards a sub-10 minute time.
i used to have a main tumblr account but i deactivated and i also had a side account i used to promote my music on but ive abandoned that one for a while
i love talking to new people so drop me a friend request any time on discord @ phoebe_laine and we can have a chat alright BYEEE ദ്ദി(。•̀ ,<)~✩‧₊

I have learned how to commit insurance fraud and get infinite Skell replacements.
I have also discovered what one might consider to be a pretty homophobic side quest.
Either way, I've beaten chapter 8, and now don't feel too bad about having been spoiled on a certain traitor, given how the game is basically banging a big gong and yelling it out.

Tag Game
//I was tagged by the lovely @spideyboisuggestions, so I’m stealing their questions. Also, all mod answers are gonna be in italics
Rules: Answer 30 questions and tag 20 blogs you’d like to know better!
Nicknames: Stevie, Punk, Captain isn’t really a nickname but oh well, Steve, Big Guy //Lo, Loki, Lokan, Logna(pronounced like the end of balogna), Baby Bear(this is my father because he doesn’t understand what twinks are all my fave characters as a kid were bears(Funshine Bear, Winnie The Pooh, Big Bear In The Big Blue House, Baloo, Fozzie, etc.)
Gender: I think I’m a trans man but mod can’t keep my story straight(to be fair, I couldn’t keep it straight either ;) ) //Genderfluid, but my default is male so they/them and he/him pronouns work for me most days. They/them will always work though.
Zodiac: I’m a *looks up zodiac signs* cancer? I’m not sure I like that... But hey, Sam does tease me about being crabby *ba-dum-tsh* //Capricorn, but if I had born on time I’d be a Sagittarius-Capricorn cusp 
Height: 6′2″, nowadays //5′7″, I’m a tiny bitch
Time: Not sure what timezone we’re in at the moment but it looks like late morning? //4:20am ayeeee
Favorite bands/solo artists: I really love some of these newer bands, but Sam’s got me pretty hooked on Marvin Gaye. Nat plays a lot of stuff from Judas Priest, though, I gotta say I didn’t expect to love them as much as I do //AJR, A Great Big World, Bastille, Janelle Monáe, Home Free, Panic! At The Disco, and The 1975 for the most part
Song stuck in my head: Wanda was playing some remix of Bad At Love by Halsey on repeat earlier and now I’ve been humming it for hours //I keep bouncing between Boys by Charlie XCX and Recuerdame from Coco(the spanish version is better you can fight me on that)
Last movie I saw: I think it was Moonlight. Nat picked up a copy when we were in France last. We turned on the english subtitles for the others, and I’m not ashamed to say I cried more than once. //I think it was Doctor Strange with my buddies online, because they trapped me into it by reminding me about Chiwetel Ejiofor being fine as hell and Mads Mikkelson’s pretty geode eyes. I can’t stand Benedict Cumberbatch but I like Strange so it’s a love-hate relationship with that movie
Last show I watched: I think it was some random cartoon in Turkey, I couldn’t understand it but it was cute //Lmao it was Death Note because my weeb friend was offended I had never seen it. And now I’m attached to yet another dead fictional character lmao(I’m talking about L btw Light can choke)
Last thing I googled: I think it was “how to set up a video call” like two years ago //”finn wittrock” because I’m talking to a buddy about people who could play Gambit other than Taylor Kitsch and Channing Tatum
Other blogs: //just my main, @dmitri-logan
Do you get asks: Not so much since I turned anon off but I do get them and I love them! //I sometimes get asks on my main but not super often
Why I chose my username: Mostly because mod is a nerd and “likes my nomad run in the comics” or whatever that is supposed to me //I’m gonna stan Steve Rogers till my dying day, and I’m an AnCom(anarcho-communist) and Steve’s time as Nomad is basically his AnCom phase lmao)
Following: I just followed everyone on that Suggestion Blog masterpost because I apparently want to see the same post 10 million times over on my dash //Also a bunch of Check, Please!, Marvel, DC, and social justice blogs. Oh! And Kingsman
Average amount of sleep: Sleep? I don’t know about sleep, it’s summertime! Oh, Bucky called me. //Owner of the worst sleep schedule ever right here! I go between 16-30 hours without sleeping and then crash for 12-18 hours, and then repeat
Lucky number: 4, 18, and 10 //2, 22, and 4!
What I’m wearing: A t-shirt and my uniform pants //A longsleeve classic Marvel shirt, purple plaid pajama pants(say that 5 times fast), and teal slipper socks because even in my pjs I’m a confusing gay mess
Dream job: In another life, I probably would’ve been some kind of social worker? I’d say artist but I draw to relax, not to make money. //I’d love to be a cosmetologist or a baker, but neither of those are super sustainable careers. Maybe one day!
Dream trip: I’d like to take a trip back to the countrysides in France someday, but I’d also like to see Bucky enjoying the sun and ocean, maybe at a beach somewhere in Cote d’Ivoire of Morocco //Dream trip is prob a summer convention tour, if I ever had the money
Favorite food: My Ma’s beef stew, hands down. //This one chicken salad sandwich I had from a gelatto shop at Union Station when I went to DC in 8th grade. I almost cried when I looked them up a couple years later and found out they had to close down because they couldn’t afford the increased rent
Play an instrument: I tried to learn how to play the piano when I was a kid, but never had the hand-eye coordination or the ear for it. I’d like to try and learn again //I can somewhat play the piano and I was taught how to play keyboard percussion instruments in middle school band
Nationality: I’m American, but my parents were both first generation immigrants from Ireland //Sadly, I’m also American.
Favorite songs: There’s this one song my Ma used to sing a lot, and Bing Crosby did a version of it before I went under that I really loved. Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral //The Show Must Go On by Queen is a big fave of mine and is guaranteed to make me cry. Also I unironically love Ashes by Celine Dion okay fight me it’s an amazing song.
Tagging: @lokisuggestion @thor-suggestion @newrocketsuggestions @trans-peter-quill @whitewolfsuggestion @skinnystevesuggestion @steverogersuggestions @othercaptainamericasuggestion @ladylokisuggestions @jotun-loki-suggestions @gwenstacysuggestion @lady-sif-suggestions @lokisuggestionz @shurisuggestions @agentcartersuggestion @magneto-suggestion @kidlokisuggestions @kamala-khan-suggestions @godofstoriessuggestion @billykaplanwiccansuggestion

A, K, R!!
vidya games!
K – game you’re most looking forward to? 
at the moment it’s super mario odyssey and pokemon ultra sun and moon! and, uh… my inner 12 year old is rearing her ugly head to force me to admit i’m also pretty hyped for sonic forces, oops. lOOK IT LOOKS FUN, OKAY…
i’m looking forward to fe musou too but also i’m pretty neutral on it– everything they’ve revealed has been super incredible so far and i’m looking forward to maining my birb, but i’m more interested in the confirmed fe16 and i’m looking forward to hearing more about that when the time comes. <3 
R – most underrated game? 
hmmmm… while xenoblade chronicles itself would certainly fit the bill despite shulk being a giant meme now, i think i’ll take it a step further and go on to say xenoblade chronicles x deserves a bit more love than it got– 
despite the very real flaws with the game and some aspects of the story, a thing that draws me to it aside from the ‘if you can see it, you can go to it’ MASSIVE open world and setting on a foreign planet was just how human its supporting cast and even minor npcs are. the game does an excellent job of portraying raw humanity in both ends of the spectrum– where there are heroes, there are people even in man’s most desperate hour that took that second chance as an excuse to be horrible, horrible people. the encounter of alien life goes as swimmingly as you expect, with the remaining fragments of humanity split on how to deal with these new beings in their midst. some choose to try and form alliances and bonds, the others shun and fear the outsiders– many quests actually revolve around the racism in what’s supposed to be a safe haven for the aliens pledging themselves to humanity’s side. the conflict taking up the last leg of the game is one born of human grief and the sting of loss– and when you really get into the motivations behind it it’s so easy to understand why the person did what they did but also acknowledge yeah no you did bad buddy you gotta pay for it now. i just???? it’s so good????
the planet and creatures that make up the game’s setting are imaginative and beautiful, i honestly love just booting it up and wandering. sometimes it’s scary as all heck because OH GOD GIANT MONSTER OUT OF NOWHERE but also… that just adds to the immersion and feeling like you’re a tiny fish in a big, big sea… and when you’re strong enough to stand up to those monsters it’s the most satisfying thing in the world.
the musical direction is honestly up to taste- i personally adore xcx’s soundtrack, but those not a huge fan of hiroyuki sawano’s works might find it lacking. here’s a personal favourite! 
point is, it’s super fun, i want to do an araceli run sometime if i can ever be arsed to go back on my wii u or it gets a switch port, and a verse would be fun to play around with… i’m not a huge jrpg person, but i really really like xcx. also, fans of matthew mercer– he’s in this one, too! he plays lao huang, one of my all time favourite characters tbh <3
point is it is flawed, yes, but it’s also a very solid jrpg that i had fun sinking hours into and i’d totally do so again
A – favourite game of all time? 
my top fave game of all time? easy! it’s the legend of zelda: wind waker! 
it wins in both nostalgia points and a critical eye as i’ve gotten older– as a little kid, it was the first game i ever actually beat all by myself! the gamecube was the first home console i ever got to own– for a while i lived with my granny, who wasn’t very big on gaming if that makes sense? and then after moving back in with my mom she got me one for christmas and a friend lent me wind waker after i tried playing it at his house and repeatedly got stuck in the forsaken fortress. the excitement of finally making it past that and seeing this big, bright, beautiful world and story unfold before me has stuck with me to this day?? idk how to explain it i just. wind waker was an important game in my childhood, and i’ve played through it a loooooot– mostly i’ve noticed it was during times of stress or particular loneliness. everyone has that one game that’s been there™ for them during times of duress, and wind waker has always been mine. 
okay i’m read more-ing the rest of this because i… went on for a WHILE. which is also why i answered it last oops. tl;dr there are many reasons why i love this game and it’s still my fave even now that i’m nearly 23. 
as an adult, i’ve found that from a technical standpoint the game holds up really well, too– even without the hd remake on the wii u wind waker is still a very beautiful, stylistic game; a major benefit to having taken the art in a more cartoony direction is that it prevents the game from aging too much; if you were to look at the vanilla gamecube edition now, it still holds up amazingly! (meanwhile, i find that while twilight princess is still lovely, the more realistic art direction tends to date it a little. i could look at the original and just know the era it was made in, whereas if i never saw wind waker before, i would question it.) 
the textures are rather blurry, sure, but that was a product of the time– hypatia on tumblr actually produced a mod with hd textures for roms of the gamecube version– check out these comparasion shots of the then-work in progress mod versus the original textures… and then here’s a few polished shots of the mod with a few extra effects dolphin/ishiiruka can provide. in short, the original wind waker is a very, very beautiful game and age has done very little to tarnish that even with the remake’s updated graphics. 
but obviously graphics don’t make or break a game, though proper presentation is important– wind waker’s story also resonates with me deeply in various aspects. as an older sister, the initial quest to set out and rescue your younger sibling in danger caught my attention and held it fast; they do a very good job of making you feel attached to aryll, and the scene where she is kidnapped always tugs at my heartstrings every time i see it. watching this young boy who lived the world’s most quiet little life on a tiny island suddenly get swept up into this grand, big adventure to rescue someone dear to him and becoming an actual hero – despite having no relation to oot link whatsoever! – is the quintessential coming of age story that most people can relate to, and watching that change as the game plays out is always really sweet???
 it was nice watching link’s development through his little actions: the backing away from helmaroc king when he first storms the fortress and then confident staring it down the second time and then giving it what for– aside from ganondorf himself that’s my favourite boss in the game if only because of those moments of development. link’s not just some kid from outset in over his head anymore– he’s a hero who overcame the trials of the goddesses himself in the name of protecting his baby sister, and he will not fail again. and then, after he could easily just throw in the towel and take his sister home because he accomplished what he set out to do, link goes on and sees it through to the end anyways because restoring order to the world is the right thing to do– there’s no legacy of knights looming over his head like several of his other incarnations. there’s no grand kingdom, there are only desolate little islands. there’s a princess, but… he barely knows her. hell, she didn’t even know she was a princess until that moment. 
the story also touches on themes of death and the ends of eras… but also ends on a note of hope and new beginnings– clinging to the past only leads to ruin, and we must create opportunities for ourselves and the world to grow. hyrule is actually completely washed away by the end, and ganondorf goes with it– unless we assume breath of the wild is in the adult timeline, that’s it. he’s gone FOREVER in the subsequent games, with bellum and malledeus taking his place as the main villain. the kingdom link and tetra found is called new hyrule, but that’s all they share in significance– it’s their own land, just like the king said. that final scene of wind waker with the king always got to me– that message of hope is so poignant and powerful, i just. i don’t know how to put it into words, but it’s a scene i love dearly. 
then there’s the music and cast of characters, and even quests and gameplay? i know the sailing could get tedious but i always liked it; it was relaxing to me just watching the virtual waves and listening to that beautiful score?? the characters are all bright and unique and fun– they’ve got their own little lives and you can impact them in so many different ways and things definitely change once you do?? like starting windfall vs windfall after you do a few sidequests or even turn on the ferris wheel and lighthouse again feel so different? it’s a neat little detail i’ve always found!!
…i really need to stop rambling about wind waker now i actually dozed off a bit typing this post, oops.

Free Press Summer Fest Review
Free Press Summer Fest was dampened by the weather this year with a rain delay on Saturday and full festival cancellation on Sunday. This did not stop rBeatz photographer, Brian Benton, from catching some good sets and feeling some nifty vibes.
Saturday, June 3rd
  Mod Sun
Take a listen to the rBeatz exclusive interview with Mod Sun, where he talks about combining genres at festivals, protecting his friends the other night, being a prolific musician, and his new album, Movie. One bad-ass dude.
http://ift.tt/2rJZoSu
Anna Louna
Anna played right before it started raining. She killed it. The Australian DJ pulled a Beyoncé and performed while expecting her first born. Trooper.
  Soon after Anna’s performance, Cashmere Cat played a full set in the rain with a poncho. There were others in rain ponchos not afraid to get muddy while dancing like maniacs.
Bisshop Briggs
She also played in the rain. Step Up 2 The Streets style.
youtube
Bisshop Briggs was really going full effort by the end when it really started to pour. Staff began bringing out towels, and festival goers began looking for shelter under tents and in porta potties. That stinks! 
After his set, there was an announcement over the loud speakers that told guests to evacuate, find shelter, and wait for further instructions. This announcement was made at 5pm.  A lot of people went to the parking lot to find shelter. Brian walked to his hotel about 15 minutes away.
The festival was reopened at 7, just in-time for Post Malone. Brian made it in time for Post, and he mentioned that the popular rapper was really able to pick everyone’s energy back up after the rain. His hit song with Quavo, Congratulations, was a highlight of course.
Cage the Elephant
Cage the Elephant headlined on Sunday, played for almost two hours. The American rock band from Bowling Green, Kentucky played a lot of older stuff from their first two albums: Cage the Elephant (2008) Thank You, Happy Birthday (2011).  They always put on really energetic shows and get really sweaty. This one was no different. The stage they were playing on was a bit lower to the ground than most main stages, allowing for the lead singer, Matthew Shultz, to come down and interact with the crowd. At one point, the crowd was even holding him up by his feet!
  Sunday June, 4th
Bad Suns
Bad Suns was Brian’s favorite set. He wouldn’t stop talking about their one song, Cardiac Arrest. Listen below. They played at the stage where Lorde and Charlie XCX were suppose to perform, so there were a lot of fans with Lorde and Charlie XCX merch.
youtube
Stick Figures
The sun was out, and the only reggae band at FPSF rocked the chill vibes. They were reminiscent of it Slightly Stoopid and Rebelution. One of the highlights was their dog, Cocoa, wandering around and eventually taking a nap on the side of the stage.
The festival was canceled due to rain in the middle of Stick Figure’s set.
Aminé & Portugal. The Man
Some of the acts that were cancelled on Sunday got together and announced shows at inside venues. The acts that combined sets was a beautiful cross-genre between Aminé (rap) and Portugal. The Man (rock) at White Oak Music Hall. The place got filled to capacity, and the combination between the rapper and the rock group really pumped the crowd up.
JAUZ, Party Favor, and Jai Wolf were another group to do a combination reschedule. Loving the collaboration and mobility by these artists, adjusting to the weather and still giving the town of Houston a good show.
Take a look at a couple more fan shots that Brian Benton took below.

Alright, I beat up to and including chapter 4 of Xenoblade Chronicles X.
So let's get the main complaint out of the way. Slotting someone into the party is a pain, having to find them in NLA in order to add them to the party as opposed to just picking them in a menu. If you could at least check their location in the affinity chart, that would be something, but no. You have to play hide and seek with them.
Other than that, it's a pretty great game so far. I am myself usually more of a fan of branching paths (such as can be seen in a lot of soulslikes) or sequential open area (such as can be seen in the numbered Xenoblade Chronicles titles) than I am fully open world games, but given that Monolith aided in making the BotW overworld, I shouldn't be surprised that they actually did manage to do the open world formula pretty well here.
I had assumed that having played XC1 would predispose me to do well in X combat, but that seems to be a system I won't master anytime soon, but with what shallow depth I've reached, it is pretty fun.
Technically, I am impressed that this game runs on my Wii U. Has anyone swept Monolith's offices to check for infernal summoning circles yet?
Oh, and L is hot. I am gonna put him in my party when next I get into the game, now that he is a party member.
As far as story goes, I am a bit too early to make any speculations, so I shall refrain from putting my foot in my mouth.

I have no idea how Overdrive works. I press the button and then for a short while all of my arts charge really fast, but if there's anything deeper I've yet to find it.
I also see that I have intra party affinity like in 1, but I'm not sure if there's any way to get a feel for the current level and how close I am to unlocking the next affinity mission.
