: ̗̀➛ THRIFTY

Synopsis:Having to clutch up the last round of a game is frustrating. What’s even more frustrating is getting clipped by one of the team members from the other team because they died. What happens when said clip ends up going viral and people start laughing at how the dynamic between the two strangers is. Not only does it end up going viral but it also encourages new friendships to be made through it and maybe even more than just friendships.

THRIFTY : PATCH ONE ☁︎ USER BARBONIE273???

SERIES MASTERLIST ┊ ⋆ ┊V2: NAWT COOL(TBA)

Playing Valorant alone was always one of your biggest fears, even though you were a professional player and had enough experience to speak up for yourself you always fell victim to the what if thoughts during certain games. Spiraling down those thoughts always seemed impossible to let go of ; Lucky something always distracted you from venturing any further into those thoughts

Speak of the devil and he shall appear, just as you were starting to worry your phone rang making you stop what you were doing and picking up the incoming call

“Y/N hop on val i’m on stream right now girly” Jirous voice rang through your phone

“I’m setting up my stream wait, in the meantime join the discord vc”

“Girl hurry up”

“Damn bro stop rushing me i’m almost done i'm fixing my mic, I’ll join the discord when i finish up bye bye”

“Hurry up if not i’m not playing with you bye bye”

Just as you were done setting up your mic you joined the discord vc to see shindo and shinsou also on the call

“I thought you guys were streaming why are you on call” you questioned

“Ehh we got bored and decided to just chill in call and hear you guys play val” Shindo said

“50 bucks y/n throws this game” shinsou said

“Haha hilarious you asshole, you wanna talk about throwing games let's talk about your two week lose streak back to back”

“Alright bro you didn’t have to do all that, just say you’re pressed and move on i guess”

“When i see you shinso it’s on fucking sight bro, bring your boxing gloves hoe”

“Or what”

“Oh my god both of you shut up, Y/N join my party i already sent the invite”Jirous voice interrupted you and shinou’s bickering

After nearly 20 minutes of you and Jirou playing you guys were approaching the end of the game with one last match having to take place in order for you guys to win the game. Saying you were exhausted was an understatement so needing some fun in the game you held a poll on your chat asking what you should do for the last round and surprisingly majority voted to play pistol only as it would’ve been fun. And that’s exactly what you decided on doing

“We should all do eco this round, with light shields and classical pistols” You had said to your team's general voice chat

“I’m down i’m getting bored of this game either way” a girl said

“Yeah i’m also down why not” Another girl said

“I mean why not we could win this round so sure” yet another girl also agreeing with your idea

“Jirou play eco this round let’s win this last round with thrifty that would be funny as hell” You commed

“Sure”

Just as the round started you lurked around b site playing around with your raze kit and knife making markings along the walls 

“Y/N there’s someone around the corner i set up cypher traps but they have guardian one tap and you're done for” jirou commed

“Relax i have roomba with me we’ll be ight”

“Y/N says that and she’s always first to die with than damn robot” Shinso said 

“Shut the hell up bro if i miss my shots i’ll get a medium to put a hex on you”

“Girl shut up and shoot 2 of them are coming to sight” jirou commed

“Damn bro y’all on my ass i know, i got it”

As Y/N as holding down b site two enemies had entered site you used paint shells as decoy and shot two of the enemies

“2 down, i think some might be lurking mid jirou tell iso to hold mid”

“Iso IS holding down mid dumbass look at mini map”

“Well not anymore she’s dead go hold down mid i’ll rotate to a”

“Shindo do you ever think about like what if dress to impress ever added a serving cunt category like imagine someone dressed up as maddie from euphoria” shinso talked into mic

“No because honestly think about it that would make the game so much better, i NEED that category added”

“I got sage, our phoenix commed 2 in a Y/N let’s rotate”

“Bro our whole team just full on died it’s just us” jirou said as she was checking player starts

“We’re winning this with hopes and dreams bro”

“Trust, trust i’ve been practicing my aim i can clutch this watch” y/n said

Just as Y/N and jirou were holding down a sight the enemy teams yoru had teleported behind jirou, though it was a good strategy on their part jirou managed to kill them, leaving the round between the enemy chamber, you and jirou. You do have to say as smart as the chamber was for using decoys they weren’t smart enough to kill jirou, they weren’t smart enough to realized you had your ultimate so just in time when they peaked you managed to kill them

‘THRIFTY’ was all that was heard as the round ended

Not wanting to leave a sour taste on the other players you left a message you thought was nice and Whitty on general chat ‘no scope :P wp’ 

“Alright jirou i think i’m gonna hop off i need to take care of my hedgehog bye jirou bye stream I'll see you guys hopefully tomorrow at the same time as today stay safe and hydrated guys”

Meanwhile…

“I FUCKING LOST TO A RAZE WITH NO DAMN GUN HOW BRO HOW” was all that was heard through bakugos stream

“AND WHAT KIND OF NAMES IS BARBONIE273?”

“THIS HAS TO BE SOME JOKE THERE’S NO WAY BRO HOW”

Just as he managed to somewhat calm down from the anger of that match he cut the clip and uploaded the rest to twitter

A/N. AHHHHH i finally finished the first chapter im so exhausted ngl but yayyy

[sandii-sandia]

im not even a sparksfly shipper but your art of them is so CUTEEEE they look so chompable /pos.

do you have any hcs for them as a couple? i'd love to hear em!!!! c:

IM SO SO SO SO SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im gonna start yapping a bit so im sorry in adavance for all the text ;w;

i think my fave hc of them is that they both love baking together??!?!!! LIKE, THEY HAVE THAT VOICELINE ABOUT CLOVE WATCHING COOKING VIDEOS AT 3AM they botch watch cooking videos together at bed

also i made this?? (realle really fast) to explain more how i see them ASHDJKDHKASDJ

they love cuddling in bed!!!!!! neon always has trouble falling asleep, so cuddling with clove helps her!! sometimes clove also reads to her some of their favourite books :33

also, clove is still trying to get neon into roleplay but she doesn't understands a shit (even tho, she still tries her best)

i pretty like the idea of neon having a music band with gekko, iso, jett and raze !! neon's the singer, she LOVES to sing and clove loves listening to her everytime

i see neon and gekko as siblings (not blood related ofc) and gekko's also one of clove closest friends in the protocol, so it was thanks to gekko that these two started dating JSAJDALSJD

a bit angsty this one, but neon doesn't like how clove put themselves in danger just because they can revive, what if one day it doesn't work? one of neon's biggest fears is to lose the person that she loves

they paint their nails together!!!!!!!!!!!

also thay have matching tattoos!!!!!! neon has a little butterfly while clove has a lightning bolt (idk if that's the correct word ;w;)

clove made a pet rock for neon called Sparky :3

This was Georges biggest project,

okay maybe biggest project this semester... or last 2 months, either way the assignment occupied boys attention for couple last weeks, especially this week. That's why his two best friends were so eager to meet up, it felt like they haven't seen him in so long yet they go to same university. When brunette texted on their group chat asking for a hand with a photoshoot he haven't even blinked an eye before they eagerly agreed.

What's even more exciting, boys haven't seen George's project yet! The oldest kept it a secret to "prevent the leaks" because apart from it being his assignment it was also an entry to one of his most ambitious fashion competitions. The fashion awards of all US fine arts universities. He had high hopes for it.

"Alright I'm almost ready, remember to put the ISO to 200, I borrowed those lights for a reason!” Georges words were a little muffled but still understandable as he worked on setting his design as perfectly as it could get.

"Got it Gogs, come on we don't have a whole day!” they did, their classes finished at 11am today and it was Friday so they were free for the next days. Sapnap was just eager to see the boys creation, after all he put all his heart into it, like he does to all his projects. "Actually we do" Dream interjected, youngest only glared at him knowing damn well he's as impatient considering constant taps on his thigh.

"Yeah Sap idiot, we have all day.. but you're right, it's better if the light from outside is still at it's best." he finally emerged from behind the wardrobe curtain. Okay. The boys were stunned it's not that George usually doesn't look like goddess himself - that's far from truth actually. It's just that this time they're seeing his art mixed with all his grace and beauty. Sapnap manages to whisper little "Oh god" only for Dream to hear, as the tallest boy starts "You-”

The baby blue glowy shirt, ornamented with flowered embroidery makes his face look soft, bringing out his strawberry cheeks and eyes hinted with a bit of peachy shadow. It all contrasts, yet fits without fault with a long, red, mermaid cut skirt. It's flowy, the material decorated with blue beads in the shape of hearts- And oh-

Dream gasps, Sapnap inhales loudly. Fishnets, George is wearing fishnets and the cut in the thigh is so high it shows his left leg fully. good christ, they are so down bad. Sapnap eyes Dream and They can really just see how both of them are fully raspberry blown faces.

They are both hot. red.

And The brunet who's the one and only cause is clearly oblivious to their reaction as he innocently asks "so how does it look?", makes a gesture with hands showing of the sleeves and frills on the skirt.

"I- you, it's well, George, it's so beautiful you look amazing." Dream exhaled eyes still on him, almost not blinking.

"George it truly is gleaming - I mean the colour palette for this one??? Ms Chevreu will loose her shit when she sees this! You actually are so skilled holy smokes” Sapnap added still admiring his friend's piece.

"awe thank you! I hope she looses her shit to be honest that would be funny, she's into reds recently so I think she will" boy snickered, his cheeks visibly tinted, not only from blush he applied couple minutes ago.

"alright!" he clapped his hands "time for shoot!"

Youngest set the light, while dark blond took photos to fill the entire SIM card folder. Taking that George was /very/ photogenic it was easy to catch the best shots, it's almost like he looks perfect in all of them. George is perfect tho, Dream thinks.

"Okay I think we're done, I took pictures from every side I think" Dream announced as George stretched "gods yes please my back is starting to hurt so bad" as to emphasize that he popped his bones ”ew George don't do that” Sapnap made a face.

"what do you mean you are the worst back popper I've met. Hearing only a scoff in response from other boy George's half lidded eyes closed for a little while.

"He's meditating guys!” Dream squeeked in one of his mocking voices, George giggled "he's died!"

"Okay, that's it I'm checking the photos!" Sapnap yanked the camera from the tallest's hands and plopped on one of the puff poufs. "Hey be careful you goose! this camera only cost me 5 and a half months of cafeshop money!” Dream hurried with scolding

George got up slowly and joined the youngest, soon enough all three of them were slumped on floor, brit in the middle looking and commenting on photos. "Hey guys.." brunet started, causing Dream and Sapnap turning to him.

"yeah?" dark brunette asked.

"thank you... for supporting me, like not only this time but at all" he turned his eyes from both pairs of theirs. Then he cupped each cheek and gave it a short kiss.

Boys blushed, all three of them.

"Yeah no problem Gogs, we'll always be your biggest fans" Sapnap breathed out.

"Always" Dream repeated.

And if for the rest of the day boys only watched movies all cuddled up on couch, snacking on anything they found in brunets kitchen, that was on them.

thank you for reading ♡

hugs,

🌻ISO ADA INDY TICKETS, PLEASE READ AND REPOST FOR VISIBILITY🫶🌻

I’m still ISO 2 ADA tickets for any of the Indy Eras Tour shows!

Let me tell you about my friend Kylie. She was born with spina bifida, and is the biggest swiftie i know!!! Since December of 2022, she has been trying to get ADA tickets for the eras tour, and even after the new dates were added, she still hasn’t been able to get ADA tickets.

Her favorite song is Back To December, and i can’t count how many times she’s screamed along to the song during car rides. Her favorite era is speak now by a long shot 💜

I would absolutely love to surprise her with two ADA tickets, so her and her mom can have an amazing time at the eras tour, especially after trying to find tickets for over a year.

If anyone is selling ADA tickets for indy, or knows anyone who is, please let me know, or i could get you into contact with her!!

It’s so hard to even find eras tickets, and even more difficult to find ADA tickets, so we’re starting to lose hope, but this would truly be a dream come true for her.

Thank you for reading, much love 🫶

please repost for visibility!!

homestar runner british secondary school because i need a way to fucking cope here

homestar would be a year 7 that runs to the canteen like it’s his very last meal and would be a massive neek. not many people would like him especially the popular kids as they’d think he’s annoying.

marzipan would try so hard to fit in with the popular kids. she’d be one of them nice chavs. also nobody knows she’s dating homestar.

strong bad would try so hard to act hard, when deep down he’s the biggest neek there is. he’d probably get in iso a lot.

strong mad has already graduated but his soul is still left there. my mate was the biggest roadman there is.

bubs would sell elf bars behind the school for 50p.

coach z would be a proper teacher’s pet, but nobody knows if it’s an act or not.

strong sad would be one of those kids that get things shouted at them. a common one for him would be “emo”.

re: my tags on that earlier post, everything ive written about this is staying in the drafts, but it's a sfw headcanon in and of itself so im just gonna post it

i respect people who write larger circuits as being more sensitive, but personally, i think smaller circuits are more sensitive. there's two reasons for this:

(1) this isn't really a thing in the original film, but in both 2.0 and legacy, armored programs feature thick, heavily-defined circuits on said armor. even programs/isos with thin, complex circuits wear really thick circuits on their actual clothing. like, look at jet's and mercury's armor:

all of jet's smallest circuits are underneath his armor; you can see them on his leg below his leg armor, and on his midriff right below his chestplate/grid combat vest. his biggest circuits are on his armor and on the edges of it. if ma3a brought in jet to force him to fight for the encom system, why would she put his most sensitive circuit - his identity mark - in the center of his CHEST on his armor?

mercury doesn't have enough armor in general but like... the armor she has has some of her thickest circuits. why would she render with her most sensitive circuits on her knees? does that not sound super painful to anyone else?

(2) the amount of resistance a wire has is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the circuit... so if all of the circuits are the same depth, like they've been printed/carved into the armor, the circuits with capacity to carry more current are gonna be the largest. that means the smallest circuits will have more of a tendency to overheat, maybe even acting like resistors? i think this would translate to programs being more sensitive where they have smaller circuits than in their larger ones.

it kind of explains why a program's largest circuits are placed on their armor and places they're going to be like. getting snagged by discs, or at the very least, places where strangers can just like, touch lol

like, people seem to write in a way that aligns with this, but not many people are consistent about it, so i thought i'd post this lmao. sorry for the tron circuit headcanons on main

happy father’s day to grimshaw pua is throwing him the biggest party she bullied everyone into helping ☺️☺️ she made a big banner that says ‘HAPPY FATHER’s DAY GRIMSHAW’ and made a card and got everyone to put out snacks and food

rubs my little raccoon hands together

His visible eye widened in surprise at the state of the common room. The foldable tables were put out, containing a spread of foods and drinks for everyone. A large banner spanned the wall above the table, there were even a few presents here and there on a separate table.

"Happy father's day, Grimshaw!" Nohealani excitedly announced as he stood in the doorway. The man in question rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, light tanned skin flushing visibly.

Achlys knew he wasn't the only Valorant agent with a child, but that wasn't necessarily his story to tell. Still, he knew it wasn't the reality of the matter that Nohealani was drawing from, but rather, his treatment of her. She couldn't know of the life he left behind, he still hadn't revealed everything to the Protocol after his previous arrest.

He had to keep her safe. That was his priority. So he smiled despite the pain in his heart, how many years had it been since he last saw Jacinta? Did she still remember him? Noheleani grabbed his arm, tugging him towards the present table.

"Kim-Ly and I set everything up! We got all your favourite snacks and there's gelato in the fridge!" She seemed pleased, hyper as she went through everything they gathered for the man in question and the big day.

"Thank you both." Achlys managed to hold his smile even as she handed him a card with a small wrapped present. He took it in gloved hands, he tucked the present under his arm and opened the card. She really did manage to get everyone to sign it, a sheepish smile on his face as he read all of the scrawled names.

Thanks for always bringing snacks when Jett won't share -Iso

Happy birthday dadman! -Phoenix

Gelato's on me next week! -Mua Lan

There were several small notes and he read them all, managing to keep the smile on his face steady. He appreciated all of the younger members of the Protocol, he really did. But it wasn't the same.

There would always be one name missing.

Achlys looked up from the card, nodding at Nohealani to show he appreciated it. But he could feel Amir's eyes on him from where the agent was standing beside the wall. One person knew.

When the truth of which world he came from came to light. One person was able to dig deep enough. But Achlys ignored the man's stare, turning his attention to the present instead.

"You didn't have to get me anything.."

"It's nothing! Open it open it!"

Achlys would try to match Nohealani's excitement at least. For her sake.

i know i've been dead silent for a bit but i feel like posting random takes and thoughts <3

-> UNDERAPPRECIATED THING- i love how the musicals all interpret ciel's backstory before we learned that he has a twin. i think the closest was lycoris that blazes the earth? it's something my friend pointed out to me and i just think it's neat!

-> i kind of prefer elements from the anime red butler arc instead of the manga bc i feel like it doesn't really have too much going on but i feel like combing lizzie's arc to it made it really work better since it made it less slow (IN MY OPINION <3). i also love actual characterization with butler grelle and how grelle's acting chops are more shown instead of her just. standing there like a REALLY OBVIOUS MURDERER and going :o

-> i dont think "yana broke all the rules that ronald knox made when it comes to mysteries" should be a flex because like. yeah some of them are stupid but making the background character nobody would have guessed be the murderer? giiiirl.

-> i feel like the weston college arc was a HORRIBLE way to follow up the campania arc. like yes. f slur college right after dropping the biggest bombshell (not really since the anime literally called it) in the series and planting so many theories just to go "look at these ctrl+c ctrl+v men!". i feel an arc just taking a minute to relax before going to the homophobia* college would have been a better route.

*i knowww that it's supposed to be a word used to like... describe a student serving another student but... cmon. if a demon can wear heels, a reaper have a chainsaw and another one have a lawnmower, why does THAT part have to be the thing that HAS to be realistic?

-> i hid this in the tags of a post once but im gonna say this one out loud. i reaaaally don't think butler grelle is supposed to be grelle when she was alive. the character traits were given to her in the anime and the anime isn't canon. also to mention, younger grelle being proven to be sooort of canon with the tie in with the Reaper OVA and the chapter with othello? and why would she go from looong hair to short back to long? it just doesn't really make sense to me personally but yk! it's a neat headcanon!! but i dont think it's a really plausible theory :(

-> ALSO SOMEONE BROUGHT THIS UP A LOOOONG TIME AGO BUT IM STILL THINKING ABT IT- how long is grelle's hair?? in her butler disguise, her hair isn't as long and yeah it is tied up but that shouldn't affect the length. it's something i think a lot abt (obvi) ever since that person brought it up.

-> this isnt a take and more just a plea... CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE DS GAME MORE? it's just such a underrated part of black butler (from what i've seen) but it honestly looks like a really solid game?

if you have no idea what im talking about, heres the cover for the game and theres some footage on yt!

also if you happen to find the .iso file for it, please send it to me. i will liveblog the entire thing because it's just such an underrated part of black butler and i'll take the bullet (assuming if it's a bad game) to play it.

[51316120825]

Okay at this point i should probably read paglia cus i never have bcus of her views on child sexuality. But im thinking i should because iso many big #thinkers were at one point p*** adjacent/sympathizing at the very least and i still have read them and think their work is great and influential although that isnt something that is subjective rlly but anyways. in her case It like. precedes her FOR ME (maybe because of the time she came up in, her statements were very public and im pretty sure some were even in the tabloids so) .. like if i had gotten into her first and then found out about that stuff idk i would’ve thought differently like with simone de beauvoir, jean francois lyotard, guy hocquenghem, jean paul sartre, even foucalt (which i have never gotten into but i feel like hes probably the biggest name) but like all those ppl had. Unique 😊 views on the age of consent. im just going off the list of ppl that signed the 1977 petition in france to reform/abolish age of consent laws (i double checked on wikipedia. Lol) But in their case like i found out way after and it didn’t like change my view of them that much like it did but it didnt lol . Also like ik that was all before paglias time but ugh idk if what im saying makes sense but i feel like i probably should read some of her work anyways bcus everytime i see an excerpt im like waittt. I know she went back on it and she was like yeah actually we need to protect children but girl… idk. Ugh idk i feel like this doesn’t make sense. Also i copy pasted this from my ig cus i was gonna post it on my story but i feel like my irls would be like 🤔🤔 what do u mean unique. Are u saying thats good.

Thoughts on Uprising ep17 “Rendezvous”

- cold open: so Beck’s got a CRUSH crush, huh? like, kiddo’s got it BAD, methinks. at least he isn’t lying to Tron about it (also hello Tron, it’s nice to see you after you went on that two episode vacation with Able, or whatever)! I will take only so much secret-keeping between friends, and I guess Beck decided since he’s still being bitter about Cyrus, he’ll at least admit what he’s doing with the fucking enemy. tho Beck is right, Paige IS different from the rest of Clu’s army and the occupation; she actually has a heart. and like. empathy. she also apparently likes a little thrill ride, as we see from her idea of a date! okay then!!!

- atop the bridge tower, Beck and Paige have a bit of a heart to heart. Beck is obviously (to the viewer, anyway) trying to cultivate Paige to be turned, but I can’t say it’s going to be very effective. Beck doesn’t actually know her backstory; nor does he know the truth the audience knows. Paige thinks she owes her life to General Tesler; she sees him as the person who saved her when she’d lost everything to the perfidious Isos. and as long as she thinks that, believes that? she’s gonna stay with Tesler.

- related note: it makes me SO MAD that there weren’t six seasons and a movie of this show, like FOR REAL. everything about Paige’s character SCREAMS “I am going to switch sides before this story is done”—she’s empathetic as hell, not willing to risk innocent programs even though she works for a regime that sees them as basically cannon fodder. she has a neatly tragic backstory, which has been taken advantage of by the primary villain of the show. she’s never shown doing anything REALLY VERY BAD. she has an enemy of her own in Pavel. it is like a CLASSIC Zuko setup! AND WE WILL NEVER KNOW HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO END, because I very highly DOUBT that this plot thread is gonna be resolved in the next two episodes!! FUCK ME.

- anyway, let’s talk about Pavel being the World’s Biggest Douchebag. the weapon from “Price of Power” has apparently finally repaired itself, and he just. decides to test it out on some imprisoned programs! because he’s a douche and an asshole and that’s just how he does! and Paige has decided to—I mean, she basically puts a target on her back by giving Pavel an ultimatum. which. I feel like she should KNOW BETTER by now??? I don’t know. Pavel’s dedication to being The Worst and also for grabbing at whatever bit of power he can muster and like. you don’t give assholes like that the chance to strike back at you!!!!!! girl!!!! this is where her empathy gets her into trouble, because like…….. she’s willing to give Pavel the chance to come clean, whereas Pavel immediately sees an opportunity to get her out of his way, because he is Exactly That Kind of Asshole. UGHHHHHHHH. I HATE THIS SHOW.

- OH HEY IT’S GORN AGAIN. I was wondering if she was gonna show up again and she does!!! also those little centipede guys both Look and Sound like the Worst News. also I don’t like her assistant AT ALL, he’s just very creepy. but Pavel has been given an opportunity with Paige’s ultimatum and he’s not about to let that pass and see himself get into trouble with Tesler.

- on their Second Date, Beck once again tries to broaden Paige’s perspective a little. though her comment about masks almost makes him give something Vital away, and EEK. and then Pavel shows up and is The Worst and so on and Beck gets himself arrested, too, and it’s just bad? this is all very BAD???? I DO NOT LIKE.

- you know what else I DO NOT LIKE??? THE MEMORY IMPLANT SCENE. holy SHIT on a list of the horrifying things this show has done, this is going PRETTY DAMN CLOSE TO THE TOP. also I’m fascinated that the centipede thing (I didn’t catch their names because I turned captions off to watch Game Changer last night and forgot to turn them back on) goes into Paige’s disc portrait and SHE FEELS IT????? which feeds more into my theory from “Identity” that programs are not their bodies; they’re their code, and that code is stored on the disc. anyway, the memory implant scene is HORRIFYING and ICKKKKKK and also Paige’s screams are terrible and UGHHHHHH GIRLLLLLL………

- and since Pavel has made Paige into a guilty program, she decides to act like it and gets her and Beck broken out of the prison. the breakout scene is way cool, and thankfully Beck doesn’t have to do any fighting and possibly give away his Biggest Secret. and then Paige thinks he’s innocent and wants to spare him and stuff, which—empathy, again, I love that in her. UGH. Beck of course was trying to get her out to Tron, methinks, but…… like, she’s still in too deep! she still thinks Tesler gives a shit about her (which he does not) and that Pavel has been mixed up by someone else!!! UGH.

- Paige does what is perhaps not the Smartest Thing and immediately goes to Gorn in Pergos and……….. gets herself caught by Tesler and her false memory paraded in front of him and DAMN did Pavel play her good!!!! he may have been right, last episode, about her being “predictable.” and Tesler’s playing Disappointed Dad kind of with all this “I saved your life” bullshit and just. SAVE IT ASSHOLE, I KNOW WHAT YOU DID. FUCK YOU. FUCK EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS.

- after the commercial break, we see Paige in the Games where she is gladiatoring the SHIT out of her opponents!! Tesler’s getting antsy about it, and Pavel volunteers to face her—with a little help from the weapon. she gets into a spot of trouble, Pavel knocks her down to her death—but Beck-as-Renegade is there to save the day!!!! KIND OF. once again: Paige has no compunctions about killing the guy who’s saving her life, which I find utterly hilarious (at least a little removed from it, because I was cussing a LOT while it was happening).

- they have a conversation on the bridge tower, and Beck tries SO HARD to get her to switch sides, but the fact of the matter is, she still thinks she has a life worth living in Clu’s army under Tesler. she still thinks she can get the truth out and proclaim her innocence and get everything she’s worked so hard for to stay in her life. she’s not ready yet. and it kind of breaks my heart for them both, not only because I know the truth about Tesler’s taking her under his wing, but also because Beck!!!! poor kiddo!!!!!!!!! UGH. (I think this ship is gonna kill me more than Zed/Mara. at least Zed and Mara are already friends!!!!)

- and then, as Paige is trying to escape the city, Tesler catches her and oh—! it’s all been a big misunderstanding!!! Pavel cleared it all up, don’t you see!!!!!! THE RENEGADE DID THIS TO YOU. IT’S ALL OKAY, COME BACK!!!!! and meanwhile I am SCREAMING at my TV because FUCK BOTH OF THEM. FUCK THEM BOTH. I HATE THEM BOTH. maybe not EQUALLY (Pavel is a garden-variety asshole; Tesler is actively Cruel), but GOD I HATE THEM BOTH. FUCK. FUCK THEM BOTH.

- coda: Beck’s waiting for their third date, and then Paige has to break it off because she thinks he made her act weak/soft/whatever and UGH. better luck next time, kiddo, except there won’t BE a next time because there are only two episodes left in the entire show and at least one of them is about Cyrus, SO!!!!!!! FUCK. someone needs to invent an alternate universe machine so I can go to the universe where Uprising got six seasons and a movie.

- I’ve gotta say, the show has REALLY hit its stride, which makes me mad (again) that it only got one season!!!!!! it’s so GOOD!!!!!!! like, the episodes following “Scars” have not been as devastatingly Good as “Scars”, but damn if they haven’t been uniformly entertaining and watchable and decent!!!!!!

Sprite Art

Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark is such a powerful example of the value of really excellent sprites. Everyone looks like “Ragnarok Online Characters But Too Tall” and it doesn’t work. Between that and the occasional “someone painted over a photo” character art (and only occasional, meaning even that isn’t a consistent art style), FS:AM gives the feeling of being the product of a scrappy little indie dev team, which in this case isn’t really a good thing.

I’m hopeful that the gameplay will gain a bit of depth and we’ll be off to the races. The game style - iso tactics game - is very much my jam and I haven’t had a good one to play since, jeez, Final Fantasy Tactics A2? That’s been a LONG time.

I do like the story, though if there’s not some gigantic betrayal by the end of the first act (currently the lovable scoundrel is prime suspect for the crime-what-hasn’t-happened-yet, though they might pull a fast one and have the ingenue apprentice be more savvy than she’s letting on) I’ll be deeply shocked.

I like the variation on the tactical battler item system: Items are a shared resource like in other such games, but they have 1-5 copies of the item and they refresh between battles. This makes little sense logically but not much less than everyone having the entire party’s 99 potions onhand (and nobody being encumbered by it) but more importantly it’s good for letting encounter design have a concept of a standard challenge. They’re not having to work around the possibility that you’re willing to spend 30 times as many personal resources on this battle, or that you could go broke and be unable to get consumables you need. You just can’t spam healing potions because you have two for the battle and that’s it.

So far the biggest mechanical issue has been an oldie: Enemies are often able to get four turns in a row and KO one of your dudes without you having a chance to respond. There doesn’t seem to be a “block/dodge” action you can take to try and weather that storm. And maybe this is a me problem and I should be more careful about how I’m positioning my people. I’ll keep an eye on it.

It’s pretty good, overall. Definitely worth what I paid and I’m only like 3-4 battles in.

[UPDATE: Tactical depth becomes available literally one battle after I wrote this. That’s when you get access to crafting and ability points and the job change system. I’m enjoying the options so far, so the two remaining fears are that it doesn’t go anywhere (that is, that it ends up a pretty short story) or that the story goes bad. Outside that this looks to be a really good time.

Also I’m like 90% sure a bunch of the “painted over pictures” are for KS backers who got to be in-game merchants and such as their backer rewards. If so, extra kudos are warranted for being a videogame funded on KS that then actually released in a playable state!]

SAVE THE DATE: Maya & Manuel

Storytime: Once upon a time, IRL, I was a professional photographer. For 10+ awesome years, I got to photograph couples during some of the biggest milestones in their lives. I specialized in portraits, particularly weddings, with that comes engagements, maternity, and family portraits. It's one thing I miss every day, but am also grateful to have done for such a large chunk of my life.

Now, enter Andrew's Pose Player and the Sims, and voila! I'm back at it again. :)

These snaps are of my current household. With Lovestruck I've really been leaning in to the relationships for my sims. So, meet Maya L'more - she's a romance author and draws inspiration from Cuidad Enamorada and all the stories she collects from her friends. Turns our her true love was hiding on Cupid's Corner as one Manuel Aguilar.

Did Manny get a little makeover before this photo shoot - yes, yes he did.

I think they're adorable, and I LOVE taking photos of my sims for the game to add that extra layer of "lived-in" realism. One of the best finds I ever came across for portraits in game is the ISO Love Photos full control camera by Ravasheen.

If you are looking for an easier way to get in game photos, this is it. Just pop it on the tri-pod of Moschino stuff pack, set up the Sims Teleporter for either your single sim or a group, depending on your pose pack needs, and you can use YOUR sim to control the camera even while they are posing.

That's how I got these shots, and how I get all my portrait style images that aren't straight up selfies.

Enjoy!

.°. Personality .°.

Description

Serena is kind and easy to get along with. Among big groups or people she doesn’t know too well, she’s rather shy and quiet, often overwhelmed by the presence of the others. But among people she’s close to, she is way more open and enjoys cracking jokes. She dislikes fighting and avoids it at all costs, if she can’t avoid it the fight usually ends with her crying from anger. Most of the time, she can blend in very well and not be noticed by others. She will help the people around her in every way she can.

While she is a creative person and loves everything crafty from drawing and writing to building little models and crocheting, she has a very scientific mindset, which shows itself in her career choice and in how adept she is in chemistry and biology. She also thinks of magic as a type of science.

Hopes and Ambitions

Serena wants to work in a forensic laboratory to help with solving crimes.

Motivations

She has always been interested in the human body, but she knew that she lacked the social competence to be a doctor. So she opted for her second most interest, crime solving. Again, she couldn’t handle speaking to victims or potential suspects, so she decided she wants to work in a laboratory where she evaluates the evidence found at the scene of the crime.

Fears

Heights

Spiders

Riddle

Insecurities

She feels down whenever she has to analyze something poetic or needs to understand idioms, as she often struggles with them.
