Through meticulous analysis, they explore various teams and their triumphant journeys in building championship-contending rosters through the draft.

pondering about how The Untamed was the healthiest hyperfixation i've ever had, and it lasted the longest of one and half years. the dudes i usually fall for are evil and fucked up, while Lan Zhan was the rarer occurrence of the kindest man ever. also The Untamed was such a cool thing to affect my mind, because wangxian are all about kids and marriage, and made me have good realistic dreams that align with my own desires and values. on other hand all those evil insane men i imprint on should be kept a kilometre away from babies so that's another thing
#mine#i am deeply in love with some fictional guy almost at all times and it always feels like the biggest love of my life#but with him owning my heart i cried real tears at night at least once a week because it was unbearable to not have him in my arms man#that's insane but the yearning and the sincere love was so strong#not having lan zhan near me to caress was breaking my heart#one day they will make a high quality gl with world building and the girl there will probably be evil too. and i will be possessed again#wish to meet a real person who will make me deranged soon and stop this madness of fictional roster of lovers who live in my head

Been reaching out to some VAs about a couple of projects, and two people were so dang excited that I'd contacted them. And one of them has not worked with me before.
Not gonna lie, their responses warmed my heart. 😊 And it meant a lot to me. Guess I must be doing something right. 😉
#words by parker#rhonda parker#adorkable author#voice actor#love what i do#building my roster as well as my reputation#feels both good and weird that folks want to work with me#guess my work speaks for itself#which is a good feeling :-)

World Building: Crux Demonbeast Sanctuary
The Crux Factory is located on a small planet within the eastern parent of the Southern Region of space. The smallest planet of a multiple gas giant solar system, Crux is covered in a dense yellow atmosphere and covered in methane oceans. The only habitable spots on Crux being a number of small climatized domes dotting the surface on the few patches of land. From space and without proper equipment, it would simply look like a completely uninhabitable world.
However, during the height of the war, it was an Nightmare Enterprises claimed planet that housed multiple factories, utilizing the nitrogen and ammonium compounds from the atmosphere and methane from the oceans to make various explosives, fuel, ammo and other weapons and ammunition for the war. It was also the site of two laboratories, which created the sasuke demonbeasts to use in order to staff the factory with free labour.
Crux was managed by manager and scientist Dr Ayelech Sanus, who was in the process of training her son Majang Sanus to be her successor.
Crux met its end after the escape of one of the sasuke workers, who managed to get off the planet and went to the GSA, offering information in return for the freedom of his people and the destruction of the factories. Determined to change the tide of the war by removing NME’s main access to ammunition and fuel (after all, your enemies can’t fly ships and can’t shoot at you nearly as much if they have a sudden shortage of fuel or bullets) the GSA agreed and launched a nuclear attack on Crux, deteriorating within the interiors of the domes and destroying the factories and structures within.
Reports say there was no NME survivors that did not catch wind evacuate beforehand. However what most didn’t know, and would never learn was that there was on survivor, Majang.

Majang spent a lot of time trapped within the fallout bunkers his mother had locked him into. The radiation from the attack changed him overtime, giving him his unusual appearance.
Eventually he did manage to get out, and emerged into a destroyed world. The mountain that they had been mining had collapsed in the blast, burying several of the buildings, including the one he was in. It took a lot of digging and rigging old drilling equipment but little by little he made his way to other buildings, including the communications center. After several attempts to restore some kind of power to the equipment he was able to turn on the logs and was greeted with the records stating he was dead and Crux had been destroyed.
He spent a couple days pondering what to do with himself, obviously going back to NME and declaring he was in fact not dead was an option. He explored more of the ruins and built more tunnels to other buildings, eventually reaching Alpha Containment. It dawned on him that Ayelech had never let him in here before, and that’s one thing about being dead on paper he would find time and time again, you can do whatever you want. And he went inside and explored the various containment chambers, and to his surprise he found another survivor. Only, the survivor wasn’t a person, but a massive, massive demonbeast.
A massive building sized chained creature, eyes blinded. Demonbeasts did not need to eat, they did not need sleep, they would not die without either. This creature, a creature known as a riftwrath, a powerful demonbeast of the wrath type demonbeast line, had been left to rot.
Majang started to speak with the monster, or rather it would speak by taking control of him to use his body to make words. Which, albeit very unsettling at first, was something Majang got used to. The two struck a very unlikely bond, the creature was named Rodger by Majang, and Rodger shared his stories of the cruelty and suffering he had endured at the hands of NME. Now Majang has been raised by NME his entire life, he was born into the company, his mother taught him everything he knew and that included the belief that NME was doing the right thing and that demonbeasts were simply just tools to be used.
But Rodger frankly shattered that view.
Majang, after a couple more weeks of thinking, finally got the idea of what he wanted to do with his newfound freedom. He wouldn’t be going back to NME, he’d rebuild this place. But instead of a factory, it was going to be a sanctuary. Rodger agreed to be his right hand monster in the operation, and with Majang’s permission used Majang’s body to see the world to open up rifts to other planets so Majang could leave.
Over the next several years Majang and Rodger fixed up Crux, Majang rebuilt as much as he could and got much of the equipment back online. He turned it into a true demonbeast sanctuary for him to care for monsters, treat them of injury sustained from war and lab testing, and humanly study them to better understand them. As the war raged on he dodged both NME and the star warriors, capturing demonbeasts to take back to the sanctuary to spare them from the war and experimentation or death at the hands of the rebel forces.
The location of the planet is still kept secret and Majang has lived there as the only non demonbeast for a long time now, his ability to interact with people having greatly diminished. He’d still be kind to others if he met them, and would even offer them to stay at Crux if they needed a place to run and hide, providing they wouldn’t hurt his monsters.
He’s content to continue doing this for the rest of his life, expanding and bettering his sanctuary, and furthering his understanding of the monsters who call it home.

the obey me devs just announced that they are going to be bringing the cards from the OG game to Nightbringer and I am. SO. PISSED. You expect me to pay for that shit all over again? To grind all over again? Talk about treating your player base like complete and utter trash
#I spent over 3 years and tons of my own money building my card roster in the OG game#And they just want us to be excited at the opportunity to have the same cards again? Without an account transfer? FUCK that#Don’t think I haven’t forgotten that the devs promised that Nightbringer was just supposed to be a spin-off#That the OG game wasn’t going to be abandoned#And then they did just that#They’re basically just migrating the entire OG game into Nightbringer and making it shittier#I invested SO MUCH into the OG game#I am so pissed rn#Obey me#obey me nightbringer#obey me nb#obey me shall we date#om! shall we date#om! nightbringer

i'm 100% that person who has a mental list of hcs regarding how all of my muses would or do get along with each other ( especially muses within the same fandom or who have crossovers ) and will always be up for throwing more than one into a thread if the situation demands it or just plotting big interconnected things that don't just involve a back and forth between two characters
#* / be yourself. everyone else is taken ( ooc. )#also for those who follow me on jack i know exactly how he'd get along with at least 80% of my roster lmao#one day i'll make that extremely niche post on his blog#but threads with multiple muses ? are always a yes#i haven't talked about my proclivity for insane plotting google docs in a while#and my philosophy is always to start small and then build up from there#(it's why i always love being in for plotting for the long haul. s/o to my friends i've been plotting with for literal years)#but getting to build up to the point where we have multiple muses interconnect and it feels like a living breathing /world/#is my favourite thing in the world

Febhyurary 2025 Day 24 - Boss
"Oh! Hello Onyx! Did you run away from your mother and the boss again?", she greeted the small, black chocobo chick that had appeared beside her chirping happily. Onyx had been a little troublemaker from the moment he had hatched and Elsie wondered if in that regard he took after his mother Obsidian, a fierce but loyal birb with equally black plumage, or the man who had helped him break free of his eggshells and who -being the first human face the baby bird had seen in his life - Onyx often followed around as if he was his father. That meant when the tiny bird was not going on an adventure on his own or curiously observed one of the other people or Elsie doing their work. Especially so if it meant he got headpats in the process.
They had found the mother bird together with an egg on one of their trips in the cargo hold of a smuggler ship and assumed they had probably been stolen from an Ishgardian merchant. Not the treasure either Styrgeim nor the captain had been looking for but of course they could not abandon the birds to their fate. Since that day the two of them lived on this island too and brave Obsidian would defend their saviors with her life.

Until then I keep everything about this side arc vague lol...

hi, i hope it's okay to ask this, what do vertical and horizontal investment refer to?
yeah ofc it's okay! basically
vertical investment: focusing on making a few units very strong. so for genshin stuff like getting character constellations, their signature weapons, maybe even C6R5, triple crowning, the best artifacts, building supports specifically for them, etc.
horizontal investment: focusing on building a bunch of units even if only to mediocrity. so like leveling everyone to at least 70+, only focusing on some talents, giving everyone artifacts even if they're not that great, etc. you might not have the strongest characters ever but everyone is usable
the spiral abyss is well suited for vertical investment bc ultimately you just need two sides that hit really hard
#asks#detectiveseapancake#obviously you can do both but it requires a lot of time and resources esp with that artifact rng lmao#hence calling it an investment#these terms aren't genshin specific you can use them for any game that involves building some sort of roster#personally i consider myself a horizontal investor who has played long enough to vertically invest dmhfnnsjhdhdj#although im not full horizontal there are still quite a few characters i havent built
