"You can start late, look different, be uncertain, and still succeed."
This hit me today—because that’s my story in so many ways.
I didn’t follow the path my siblings did. They earned degrees, started careers, and on paper, looked like they had it all figured out early. And I was proud of them. I am proud of them.
Meanwhile, I built a different kind of life. I worked hard. I got good at my job. I raised a family. I bought a house. I was respected. I was known. But it wasn’t some glamorous, high-profile gig. It was gritty, honest work that didn’t come with a degree, a title, or the kind of social media sparkle people expect success to look like.
And still…it was mine.
I learned. I grew. I put in the hours. I made connections. I kept pushing forward, even when it wasn’t clear where it was all leading.
Then the right opportunity came—and when it did, all those years of experience and all that behind-the-scenes hustle clicked into place. Now? I shine in a way I never imagined I would. Not because I changed who I am, but because the world finally needed the version of me I’d quietly been building this whole time.
Funny twist: the brother I once felt so far behind now says he feels left behind. He’s retired, after all—so it isn't about catching up. It's more about realizing we're standing in completely different places now.
And that’s surreal because I still look up to him. Always will. But now we’re both experiencing life differently: me in a season of momentum, him in one of reflection. It’s strange how time reshuffles the deck like that.
So here’s to all of us who took the long road—the winding one. The one that didn’t look like success for a long time but turned out to be exactly the path we needed.
You’re not late. You’re just on your way.

My first/main team
I mentioned in an earlier post that I would talk about my main team, so here it is!! This posts will cover who exactly is in my team, and the "story" behind its creation. Of course I will also share their current builds, one of which was already shown before, and I might mention how I want to develop this team after building my Childe International team.
The Team:
So, the big question: Who is on my main team?
Welllll, it's Anemo Traveler, Fisch, Bennett, and Diona.
The thing is, I play Anemo Traveler as a physical DPS.
Yup, that's right, I play the ANEMO Traveler as a physical DPS.
The Story:
Back when I was, roughly in the AR 20s or maybe 30s, I knew I had to build a proper team. I watched some videos about team building and got a rough idea of what I should be aiming for. I knew I wanted the Anemo Traveler to be my DPS (because she is amazing 😤), so I searched up some builds for her as a DPS.
In my search, I came across someone who built the Traveler as a physical DPS and something in my head clicked and I went "I HAVE to build my Traveler like this!!" For some reason, physical traveler was more appealing to me than using anemo traveler the normal way 😭. The damage they were doing wasn't bad either, and while it wasn't nuke-worthy damage, it was still impressive to me, who couldn't even hit 1K 😭.
Anyway, against all common sense, I built my Lumine for the physical route and chose the other members of my team based around her:
Diona for shielding, healing, and cryo application.
Fischl for electro application (for superconduct), and a sub dps
Bennett for extra pyro in case of leftover aura, and his burst attack buff
Yes, I'm now aware that superconduct is basically the worst reaction in Genshin Impact, and that physical damage is basically worth nothing in the present. But back then, I didn't care because this was the direction I wanted to go.
Of course I know Geo Traveler was better if I did want to go the physical route, but I liked Anemo Traveler's skill better. The burst was awkward to use but I figured how to deal with it over time.
So yeah, that's how my main team was created!!
The Builds:
Here are the current builds of my main team. I ended up farming Ridge Watch for both sets: Pale Flame for the Anemo Traveler and Tenacity for Diona. I also did a few runs of the domain with the Thunder artifacts and Bennett got pieces from bosses since I could NOT do the Noblesse Oblige domain 😔.
I'd like to improve these builds once I get my Childe International done (though Bennett gets improvement since he's also part of Childe International). Since I'm gonna farm Noblesse Oblige, I'm hoping to also get some good pieces of Bloodstained Chivalry I can give to Traveler for a 2pc/2p Pale flame and Bloodstained chivalry.
Bennett needs a complete revamp for his artifacts because I didn't know the burst was based on Base Attack so I should focus on ER and HP for his healing 😔.
Honestly I think Diona's artifacts are fine for now. I just need to finish ascending her weapon and level her skill a few more times.
Fischl needs both her burst and skill to be leveled a bit, and I'd like to get a 4pc Thundering fury for her, but I'm ok with a better 2pc/2pc like what she has right now.
The Damage:
In terms of damage, well, in my opinion, I think its ok! I mean, they carried me through Inazuma to the current Archon quest 😤. They've been my ride or die since the beginning and I don't regret going this route. Though I will admit that events with battle involved can be a bit hard since they don't dish out 100k 😔.
I don't have any screenshots of Lumine's damage since I play on my Mac, but I'd say its around or under 10k? It's definitely more than 1k; I do N2C combos and I've seen a 2k hit a few times, though I don't know about the charged attack.
Overall team damage is a bit mixed though with the reaction triggered by Fisch and Bennet, plus the Swirl damage from Lumine.
The Future:
What are my plans once both my main and Childe International team are good?
I'd like to build Dendro Traveler to try out a Dendro team!! I was thinking a team with Dendro Traveler, Fischl and two others so I don't have to build too many new characters. The problem is I don't know who yet.
I chose Tighnari as my free 5-star so he's an option but I don't know his playstyle yet. I was also thinking Xinqui for a bit, but then I read that Fischl isn't good for Hyperbloom so that's probably a no. Either way, it's exciting to think about the potential teams I could make; maybe I'll end up building something crazy like my main team 😂😭.
Once Nahida comes around and I hopefully get her (🥹), then I want to build Intergrassional, or some variant of a Childe Dendro team. They all look so fun to play 😁😁😁.
Conclusion:
That's basically everything about my main team!! I hope you enjoyed the story of its creation, the fact that physical anemo travler is my dps, and the entire dissection I did of it! I'm honestly really happy with them and they were only my team I had until now, so I'm excited I got to share them with everyone!
#genshin impact#genshin thoughts#genshin rambles#my main team#yes I ran physical traveler#I didn't want to go the typical route#carried me through the game#no regrets#fischl#genshin diona#genshin bennett#genshin traveler#lumine

Welcome to Finder of Things
Here since 2013, this blog has grown and evolved with me, becoming a space for community, humor, puppies, sex, and everything in between. While this is very much an NSFW blog (within reason), I also have a side blog for the even more NSFW content.
I’m a switch, and my mood determines what side of me you’ll encounter here. For some, I’m a playful companion; for others, a guide or a challenge, depending on our dynamic. For the right person, all sides come out. As a middle-aged man, I’ve spent much of my later life reflecting on, challenging, and at times struggling with societal norms and expectations. From questioning traditional masculinity to rejecting rigid definitions of self-expression, this blog has become my platform for exploring those challenges and sharing alternative perspectives on life.
I have a deep appreciation for lingerie on myself and others. Like many, I struggle to find clothes that not only fit but also reflect who I am, limited by the narrow constraints of societal norms and the body shapes they’re often designed around.
My sexuality is closest to gynesexual—a term describing attraction to femininity or women, regardless of their gender identity. It’s a label that resonates deeply with me and has provided clarity, though no single term can fully define who I am. This clarity was only possible through the power of the modern computer era.
A Bit About Me:
Life circumstances led to years of solo chastity and unhealthy sexual fantasies. Through time, reflection, and friends, I’ve embraced diversity and representation, which you’ll see reflected in the content I share and repost. And I will be the first to admit that even my shares are not representative of everyone, as, in the end, the content resonates with me and my desires. However, supporting alternate views of life matters.
I’ve also developed an appreciation for monster kink, short prose, and discussions about what defines submission, dominance, and sexuality. Sex acts and clothing don’t inherently carry meaning; it’s intent that shapes everything.
When it comes to clothing, I’ve struggled to express myself, often battling societal expectations that limit how a man 'should' look or dress. As a masculine-presenting man, society often labels my love of colors, textures, and styles as "feminine." For me, these choices represent sanctuary and gentleness in a world that often feels harsh. This is not about being a sissy or crossdresser; it’s about rejecting societal labels and simply being me. I’ve fought against these norms and the boundaries often self-imposed on me, but finding ways to express myself while navigating these constructs remains a challenge as I discovered this part of myself very late in life.
In my daily life, I’m tasked with decisions that impact hundreds or even thousands of people. Amidst that pressure, these clothing choices provide a moment of softness and a personal retreat, reconnecting me with parts of myself that life’s struggles often wear down.
I’m also a caring Daddy when it comes to my partners; a guide, a provider, a source of safety, and someone who can be a bit of a sadist when the need arises in my partner.
A Few Ground Rules:
This is an adult space. You must be 18+ (or the age of majority in your country) to engage here.
I welcome discussions and questions, but know that this is my blog. If you don’t like what you see, you’re free to leave.
Bots, scammers, and those who believe their way of life is the only “true” way are not welcome here. Feel free to explore concepts like misogyny or patriarchy in kink or your fantasies, but if you believe they’re the “correct” way to live, this isn’t the space for you.
To the rest of my community: Welcome. Let’s share, laugh, explore, and connect.
My Other Writings - (Update: 2025/03/25)
I have collect a short list of my curated words for you to enjoy. Some are deeply personal, while others are simply fiction.

viral vectors neuroscience
To gain a clearer understanding of how brain circuits work, it is important to examine and manipulate the function of specific brain nuclei and neuron types. Recombinant viral technology facilitates targeted transgene expression in specific neuronal populations. In the past decades, the viral vectors allow the mapping, observation, and manipulation of neuronal circuits in experimental models. For example, the CVS-N2c strain and SADB19-base vectors have been used for the monosynaptic tracing of neuronal connections. What's more, the combination of cell type-specific viral vectors with trans-neuronal vectors can be used to dissect input-output circuits.

N2 Coin - Determined To Transform The Global Finance
Banks and Cryptocurrencies have been regarded as pole opposite institutions in terms of new-age finances. While banks offer traditional methods to finance, cryptocurrencies have unique approaches. Although cryptocurrencies offer freedom and transparency in finances, banks are perceived to be more reliable owing to the regulations and rules framed by the government.
Experts believe the collaboration between traditional banks and crypto services is the ideal solution for customers. Such collaboration can offer the best of both worlds. The N2Group has is offering just that with the launch of the N2 Platform and the cryptocurrency, N2 Coin.
N2 Coin:
N2 Coin (N2C), is the cryptocurrency associated with the hybrid N2 platform called. There are various services within the platform that users can avail by spending N2C. This cryptocurrency is the key element that bridges the gap between the crypto realm and the banking sector.
N2 Coin is the first of its kind to engage customers on a dynamic and harmonious platform that hosts an array of financial services.
The Compelling Reason to Invest in N2:
N2 Coin is the core of the N2 Platform. The Platform offers solutions to the challenges faced by banks through the integration of blockchain technology. This is achieved by preserving the centralized management systems of banks and exporting its services into blockchain. Such a system can benefit customers through its security, accessibility and reliability, while ensuring complete control over its operations.
N2 Platform is the first financial platform to invent and adopt GloFi. GloFi, short for Global Finance, is the term defining the collection of a set of financial services that are offered beyond the communities they are usually confined to.
The N2 Coin ensures harmony between banking and crypto services on its platform via GloFi. By investing in N2 Coin, one can avail banking services such as deposits, loans, credit tracking, trade finance, and payments while being able to access crypto services like trading, coin swapping, and ICO hosting.
Conclusion:
N2 Coin marks the evolution of how financial institutions can co-exist to cater to the customer’s monetary needs within a single platform. It stands proof of how a cryptocurrency can redefine finance while empowering existing systems.

My theories about why CMBYN didn’t win anything at Golden Globes:
(1) It’s about a beautiful, sensitive relationship between a 17-year-old and a man, and due to the climate of Hollywood right now, nobody wanted to be impugned for supporting a potentially controversial [not that I think so] relationship.
(2) Hollywood doles out its love for minorities in cycles. Last year was the Moonlight year, so another film about gay romance couldn’t win this year. Which is kind of bullshit but whatever.
(3) The Golden Globes voters found Three Billboards, with its much more traditional roles of protective mother/abusive man, much more relatable than our movie, which throws people’s sexualities into question.
(4) Let’s talk about that a little more: Men who voted had to watch Oliver and Elio filmed with seductive camerawork -- they had to follow Elio’s gaze, and make the same mental leap to find Oliver attractive and worth loving. There are some men who would be deeply unsettled by this imaginative exercise and question their own identity, or be tormented by it. Those men likely voted against it.
(5) I’m pessimistic about this film’s Oscar chances, but figure they’ll try to award it technical things, like Best Cinematography or Best Music (original song).
(6) Anyway, fuck the Hollywood machine -- we all knew our movie wouldn’t fit into a simple box, and we love it anyway.
