#I am very forgetful in general

[misc-obeyme]

to <3 anon, I was gonna say definitely play the event since you have the cheat cards, but playing through the battles can be time consuming the first time around if your team isn't built. Since you'd have to play everything one by one at least once (I'm so used to skipping the battles ajsjd). Once you get through everything once with an A or S rank (can't remember which), you can quick clear (and then you can collect AP/joker cards/other things to save up for when you're ready). You could also skip the story parts if you're worried about spoilers?

I am someone who plays both, and I can tell you it's wild. I'm stuck on OG around lesson 60, I need to build my cards more, but I'm completely caught up in NB and have full teams that are all 98+ level wise. I log in on both apps to do daily tasks every day

I do both events simultaneously, log in to collect the AP at both times (NB is priority because it loads faster), but I just quick clear the battles every night to get the prizes. NB is the one where I'll try to use up all my AP before work so that when I get home, it's fully replenished.

I love OG to death, present Mammon would have to be ripped from my hands, and I love how much more of his character we get to see in NB. But it is a little frustrating and discouraging when I can't get past battles in OG. I've been playing NB since day one, even without finishing OG, all because I didn't want to get "left behind". I've got so much uhh fomo (?) from past Mammon cards that I never had a chance to get in OG. Which has now turned into me having every single Mammon card in NB... 💀 Even memory cards that feature him (except HDD .5 charge mission memory card, I was broke at the time)

I am dedicated to this man 😭 anyway sorry that got kinda sad at the end. I have my reasons for loving both games, and OM Mammon will always have a chokehold on me. I'm gonna be old one day and using a cane that's probably yellow because it reminds me of him 💀 It's silly things like that that get me through the day, I even have a photo card of him in my wallet 😗

also apparently my store made 10k over predicted sales on Sunday. I don't know what the prediction was originally, but jesus 😭 there's been lots of wild customers and things going wrong, but I am still kicking. I run solely on caffeine and spite !!

i don't know if I rambled about it before, but I have ideas for what my mc would work as in the devildom. and I'm thinking about the dinner rotation in the HoL, but that's for another day's ask lol OKAY BYEE

- ✨ anon

Oh gosh, I am used to skipping the battles, too lol. It does depend on what your goals are, I think! I personally play through every event... though sometimes it's almost painful because the stories are often not great. (This one was especially underwhelming.) But I read them because sometimes you get good one liners lol. And I only grind for stuff if I want the cards, but if you wanted to use up your AP you might as well use it on events! Then you'll get rewards, even if you don't get the cards.

Yeah, OG is messed up when it comes to getting through all the lessons and NB is shaping up to be no better. But there are a lot more lessons in OG, so it takes longer. Back when I first started playing, I got through like the first two seasons and then didn't play the main story for months while I leveled my cards. Then the same thing happened between season three and season four lol. Then they were like NB is happening! And I was like oh hell no I am gonna finish season four if it kills me.

Yeah you got it with FOMO! Fear of missing out! I had that, too, with past cards that are just... lost to me forever. I did a similar thing, but with Barb. Every NB Barb card is belong to me! I've been spending my time getting some of the older ones from Lonely Devil in OG, too. And just unlocking everything like chats and what not.

LOL I'm loving the idea of little old you out there with a yellow cane 'cause of Mams, that's adorable!!

I have a few lil bits of merch and it absolutely brings me joy. Plus when you're old, you'll be free to do whatever you want. I feel like people tend to write it off as oh old people are so silly!

Caffeine and spite, ✨ anon, I swear I am concerned about you! I hope things calm down for you so you can take a nice break!

Hmmm I don't think I remember what your MC's job might be? But if you already told me, please feel free to tell me again!

Ghost of Seattle Chapter 54

Previous chapter

Content: suicide attempt, manhandling, emotional whump, gun/weapons, betrayal, death threat

"If they could stop bombing us for one minute, maybe we could talk things out..."

There was a shade in the corner of his room.

Ghost threw his bedding at the door, one blanket at a time.

"Get back in here! Give it back!"

He sat down on the bare bed, looking around the room. He was trapped by the monstrous side of Shiver--the power that had been at his back, a weapon of pride. Now it was pointed at him.

He'd left his gun with Buddy the day before. He stood up to look for his knife--maybe Ray hadn't gotten around to stealing it this time. He found it where he'd hidden it in his bedpost. 

The shade stared at him, stared at the knife.

"I--I--" The shade could never say more than this stuttered sound. It  would pop into your head like a memory of a sound, as this shade looked at you.

He pointed the knife's tip into the place on his neck that Oldman had shown him. Where you could make sure nothing could save your target.

Buddy opened the door.

Ghost froze. Bitter, wide eyes glared at her. He hated her.

"Goodbye..." He said.

Buddy fell to her knees. 

"Don't." She said.

"Why not."

Something banged outside--a gunshot--and the knife ringed out of his hand. 

He cried out and clutched his stinging hand.

Buddy sprang forward and tackled him down to the bed. She was damn heavy. Ghost wheezed. After that beating a few hours ago, this hurt. But he didn't resist. 

Amherst showed up in the doorway, pale.

"Oh thank fuck." He sighed. "I didn't hit him."

Ghost closed his eyes.

"You can't stop me." He wheezed. "I'll kill myself."

"Promise me you'll talk this out if I let you up." Buddy said. "I... can't lose another brother."

She shuddered.

"Fuck you." Ghost growled.

He felt a sob in response to that. How dare she cry, when she was stopping him from the only thing he wanted to do.

Amherst slung his rifle behind him, closing the door most of the way.

"At least be nice to her." He said. "She's trying to save you. You're like--"

"She's trying to take my choice!" Ghost said as loud as he could, even though it hurt his stomach. He grimaced, forcing tears back. "Get the fuck off me!"

"Ghost. Stop this." Amherst said.

Ghost closed his eyes. He waited.

Buddy got up off him awkwardly.

"Please." She said.

"At least just tell us why." Amherst said.

Ghost just lay there on the bed, grimacing with his eyes closed, breathing hard.

"Maybe if you can explain it, you won't want--" Buddy stopped.

Ghost peeked to see why, and he saw Amherst finishing a stop gesture. He rolled his eyes. Then he sat up painfully, ignoring Buddy's hand, offered to help him.

"Quit pretending you care." He said. "I'm onto you. It's too late."

Buddy and Amherst glanced at each other innocently.

"I saw Oldman's face." Ghost said with disgust. Oldman's rage had made him nauseous. "He was pissed at me. Because I tried to take his valuable asset."

"That's--that's not why." Buddy said nervously, tucking her stray hair back.

There was a pause. Amherst bowed his head. Ghost looked at him.

"That might be why." Amherst said. Finally someone honest.

"Is that why for you?" Ghost asked him, leaning back against the wall.

Amherst's brow crinkled like he was thinking.

"...I don't know."

"If you two actually cared for me, you wouldn't try to force me to live."

They didn't speak for a long time. Ghost sat there waiting. He had all the time in the world. He was going to end his misery, and it was gonna feel so good. At least for a moment.

They heard a familiar light step in the hall. Oldman.

Ghost braced himself, straightening up and swinging his legs off the edge of the bed.

Oldman busted in, bumping into Amherst. 

"Oh." He said. "I didn't expect you 2."

Ghost glared at him. Oldman glared back.

"If you die, I'm going to choose when." Oldman said bluntly.

"See?" Ghost said to Buddy with a snarl.

"You ever try a trick like that again, I'm going to kill you myself. You got that?"

Ghost breathed heavy. He'd given Oldman everything but his last choice. He was too angry to speak.

Oldman just glared back. Then he showed him his sidearm, a pistol with a long handle for a bigger magazine. 

"I'll make it slow." He snarled, then turned on his heel and stomped away.

Buddy looked horrified.

Amherst just had his head bowed.

Ghost felt like he'd known all along. Stupid Chase in his head insisting on trusting the old bastard. Chase was gonna die for that. And everything else.

"Well, you done?" He said to Buddy and Amherst.

Amherst laid a hand on Buddy's shoulder.

"Give me a minute." He said.

Buddy left, shuddering.

Ghost stared at Amherst, who squinted for a moment like he was thinking. Then he nodded at Ghost. 

"I'm sorry." He said. "I had no right to stop you."

Ghost's eyes opened. He stood up, wincing with the pain of moving. He crossed the floor to Amherst. Amherst looked down, then up again at Ghost in front of him. 

"If my last interaction with you was to suppress you, I'd prove you right." Amherst pulled out his own knife, a hunting knife, and handed it to Ghost. "Whatever you choose, know that... I'll miss you."

Ghost took it in his left hand. He extended his right hand, stopping Amherst from turning away. 

He clutched Amherst's long hand in his and shook it.

"Thank you." He said. "Thank you."

Amherst actually bowed at him.

"Goodbye." He said. And left.

I get a little indignant when i look up the lyrics for a song that has very straightforward and understandable meaning to anyone who has experienced a modicum of emotional pain in their life and there are websites like "Song Lyrics Explained" like ohhh some people have never had their heart broken I see.

really feeling like drawing right now. not actively, not right this second, but on a deeper level I feel like I could draw if I wanted to which has not been the case for a while. I do want to after I finish running an errand... I need to focus on something else, turn off my brain for a bit

I feel a little nervous posting about this but I have an Etsy! Where I've been (slowly) putting up Elder Futhark runestones and Greek Alphabet Oracle stone sets! I realized I liked creating them and they're an intersection of interests (paganism & ✨ making shit ✨) that I feel comfortable expanding on. I make crocheted bags for them too!

I'm proud of them generally, I'm not going to be sharing the sets I make just to, like, push my Etsy on y'all. It's been a lot of fun figuring out how it works and getting back into polymer clay after not picking it up for several years.

If you would like to take a peek at what I've got so far, you can find my shop here.

Irregular bit of cricket-posting for the two and a half mutuals interested on this website, none of them likely to be online at the moment, and also on the offchance I convert a bored dash-scroller.

The first test match ever staged in Northern Ireland is being played at the moment. Northern Ireland is largely represented at a test level by an Cricket Ireland, so this is an all-Ireland team involving players from both the Republic and the North. They are currently playing Zimbabwe at Stormont in Belfast.

Although I have recently become a big TMS fan and therefore have England vs the West Indies blaring on the radio, I know that it's possible to follow the score on the BBC here. But if anyone knows any local radio that's covering it, would love to know.

the bittersweet but absolute flood of relief that comes from admitting defeat at living independently, to have to move back in with parents. we tried! we gave it our best shot for almost 3 years! but living like this (being on our own) is just not possible for us at this time of our lives. we've finally proved it to ourselves that we can't do it. it'll be okay to let ourselves rest now
