Comrades is...not great. Yay combat system, yay character creation. But effective weapon modding is such a goddamn drag.
Basically you want two characters, 1 to get a specific buff (I don't remember which one) to making weapons. It's on a timer so you never use that character unless you're doing weapon stuff. The second character is for you to actually use.
Getting the resources you need for stuff can be hell. Like, same boss fight, breaking the same specific limbs to get the same specific drops, over and over again tedium hell.
However, you do get to see Bahamut fight and he goes spinny attack, rather like Ardyn.
Sounds like a drag, yeah. It's not exactly highly rated game and I'm not expecting much. Still, it was cheap and I wanna check it out for whatever story is present more than anything.
#And hey I get to rp another assassin's creed crossover!#Every game with character creation inevitably becomes an AC crossover for me because every character I make is Desmond#It improves the experience every time

The most important character in all of ds9 is actually that Klingon restauranteur who comes out and serenades his customer with Klingon classical music on the regular
#I don’t know his name#but I love him#every time that he rolls out with the instrument du jour it improves my experience by 1000%#ds9#Star Trek#French trek#I like how ds9 lets us have these weird little reoccurring characters because they live in the local space-town#it’s fun and I think they capitalize on it well when the opportunity strikes

I'm sincerely very happy for anyone who is enjoying the show but every time I see takes that the show has improved the book characterizations or that the book characters are underdeveloped in comparison to the show...
#our experiences are very different lmao#pjo show crit#sure the show isn't completely out yet#but id argue that the characters (namely the trio) seem way more developed and well-rounded in the book by this point in time (episode 4)#and look im not saying every change the show has made is bad#but by and far there has yet to be a change to characterization that feels like an IMPROVEMENT from the source material lmao#the closest contender I'd say is show Percy does seem a tad angrier than book Percy#but again I wouldn't call that an improvement... its just different and I think that /change/ works because it feels like the same essence#but even that has had some issues because I feel like the show has inadvertently cut down some of Percy's canon book empathy here and there#I think the show has nailed Annabeth's pride and intelligence and her warped worship of her mother#... but they've also made her hyper competent to the point that she's not making half of the mistakes she did in the book#which ISNT good because book annabeth is smart but she isn't infallible#its a big point that she has the theoretical intelligence but none of the real world experience/application#she gets tricked by medusa and goes to visit the Arch just cause she loves architecture and that's okay!! she's twelve and a nerd!#I also dont like that they've cut/toned down her little crush on Luke#actually they've not even showcased the familial bond between annabeth and Luke either in the show so like lmao#and then grover#by now grover's fear of failure and repeating this past mistakes and wanting a license has already been acknowledged in the books at least#in the show?? not so much#and his canon book suspicions and wariness of medusa... were given to annabeth#like medusa in the book was Grover's moment to shine cause his instincts were right!#and in the book fight he even very intentionally attacked medusa#but his highlights there were cut completely in the show#and finally sally#...idk who that is in the show but that's NOT my sally jackson#percy jackson#mine

I certainly have my own concerns about the treatment of moo deng but um. well i think some of you may just be racist
#this ^ isn't directed at any post in particular but instead a lot of comments ive seen. but now im gonna talk about other posts down here#and prefacing anything i put in the tags here with DONT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH#but the biggest post ive seen going around rn about moo deng being mistreated and the general quality of khao kheow zoo is questionable#claims that the enclosure is mostly concrete seem to be false from all the sources i can find#the concrete section looks like its specifically around the feeding area which fits zoo care guidelines which specify that the feeding area#be a surface that can be easily cleaned separate from the substrate and is a surface present in other zoos#the lack of deep water also seems to be purposeful? older videos of the same enclosure show deeper water areas#and looking back through the news every baby pygmy hippo announcement from every zoo i could find mentioned periods where the baby had to#learn to swim and was slowly introduced from shallow water to deeper water as time passed#this was also corroborated by fowlers zoo and wild animal medicine volume 8 which suggests keeping the mother dry and then slowly#introducing water as the baby grows as a potential best practice#damn im treating this like a paper now. anyway the negatives#there are absolutely things that strike me as bad eg. public access to the hippos and the way the keeper interacts with them#for the keeper stuff in particular i'd really like to see input from someone who has experience as a zookeeper with pygmy hippos#the public access is something that i def think the zoo could improve on and even older footage from years ago shows people sticking like#selfie sticks and shit off the side of the railings and right into the hippos faces#however again the zoo seems to be making efforts to curb visitor behavior which is tough when you go from having 800 visitors a day to#4000+ and you can't remodel the whole exhibit right then and there#all this to say! just do your own research and take somewhat inflammatory comments on the internet with a grain of salt#also just to make it clear im not making any sweeping statements on khao kheow or the treatment of moo deng im just summarizing what i foun#based on what's being said in the most popular post on the subject ive seen.#for the potential like three people who will read all this hi :) hope ur having a nice day

i think i officially set my sights on a therapist and i'll be contacting her very soon?? therapy was legitimately not on my 2024 bingo card (or in the cards for me at all) but here we are????
#this blog always had a focus on social science and detangling feelings and experiences. like it's basically been serving as my diary#bc this blog has always been my main outlet for it. i hate talking feelings to anyone irl. it's a bad habit but i hate it#so it was a game changer and helped me grow up sooo much. esp supplemented w other people's experiences.#being raised by a stoic engineer mother who's very much warm but also not very good at feelings at times has caused me to suppress SO much#compounded w being the eldest daughter. like that is a damning sentence in and of itself#tumblr just gave me an outlet for stuff like this. and every social media is essentially a highlight reel of ppl's best moments.#tumblr is the opposite. i've always loved that too whether it was in the form of humor or more earnest posts#could i work through my own issues by myself? yes probably#and my blog will always have that facet even if i get a therapist#but a therapist's input. just a professional's input. will expedite a lot of improvement for me i think#this has been a critical time period for me anyway bc i'm budgeting my whole schedule for once vs being handheld by uni deadlines#and it's just gonna keep getting more and more intense from here bc i'm truly pushing my comfort zone more than ever before#it just feels like the right call even tho i'm lowkey nervous ab it bc i HATE talking feelings in person.#this therapist will not fall for my trying to deflect by asking her about her life. which. usually works on my friends <3#we will see. a therapy arc is coming very soon basically#p

#one of the few hopes i have left#every other one has been stomped into the ground lol...#getting older. getting therapy. taking meds#moving out of our childhood home (altho still with family which i know . is very not good 4 me)#it was all supposed to make me better#it was supposed to make life better#but it didnt#im still the ecact same#and my therapist keeps asking me what i expect to change and im too ashamed but.. most scared to answer#because im not ready for her to tell me it is unattainable#i need my last hope#i need the hope that i can be ok that i can feel different and Think different and experience things different#i think having my boyfriend has been the first time ive actually felt like i made it into the imagined hope#like i finally broke through#even before we started dating like#being able to actually be comfortable with someone for the first time maybe ever#ive never. had my fuckd up brain or body allow me that before#n theyre so fucking cool too#coolest person in the world#n i am so grateful 2 even get to chat w them#n that i get 2 love them#n that they take me as i am#even tho i still feel like i need 2 get better i need 2 improve#because they deserve the best u know#n they make it all seem possible#i hope they dont read this it is embarrassing#i say as if i havent told them before#but im just . in my feelings

congrats on writing the fic that made a man text his (sort of estranged) dad. fr your portrayal of every single dynamic is so flawless and considerate. nobel prize.
THAT ACTUALLY DOES FEEL LIKE AN ACCOMPLISHMENT... i hope it goes well anon!!!
there's a lot to be said about people who did the wrong things but feel genuine remorse and want to get better, i think. i've been there (though not in a parent sense), and it's also what happened with my mom after i moved out, so i guess i kind of know how it is from both angles. on top of, you know, just writing what i know of who chilchuck is as a person (and assuming a lot of things about meijack and the others, lmao...)
#tox answers#tox.txt#fic: promises to keep#i've never known my biological father and atp my step-dad can eat lead paint for all i care#but dynamics aren't as gender-locked as people think they are anyway so my experience works fine for what i need#i think chilchuck is a very good and very flawed person (ryoko kui is super good at writing nuanced characters)#he wants to improve not only for himself but for those he cares about... but the way that manifests in canon is something of a winding road#in promises i tweaked a bunch of story elements and then asked myself how i thought that'd change his responses#if he knew from the outset why his wife left him would he then have a better understanding of what he needed to change about himself?#in a world with cellphones it was easy for him to reach out in the moment#in canon i think even if he knew where she went immediately... by the time he went looking the anger would have set in#so even if he wanted answers i'm not sure he'd have been willing to listen at that point#this is what's fun about AUs to me--putting characters in situations they've never been in canonically (or altering the ones they were in)#and then asking “how does this affect their response? how does my understanding of them piece together with this new situation”#every individual choice in the setting and to the lore of the world affects how these known dynamics will play out#whoops wrote an essay in the tags.

I thought I'll work on the last entry of kinktober after posting what I've written past month but dang y'all just keep disappointing.
#paradistalks#the way it makes me question my writing skill#maybe i need to improve#or stop ig?#at times like these i often just want to delete my every online social existence#like if y'all don't like this i better take my time writing a long fic that i have been wanting to experiment#most of the time these things doesn't matter to me... like i write edit and post#but there are times ( like this ) i should just do what others do... write a single liner smut and tag 100 diff fandoms with x reader tags#and long fics aren't even getting proper tracking lawl#but someday when I'll be super busy with my life and won't have anymore time to write and post#y'all will be here in my notifs with nice comments and asks and ofc polite ones specially#but i won't have time. it's just life :^)

there is truly something in the air abt getting my first hate comment on breaking patterns/mending threads two years after i finished writing it, and that it happens to be during one of the worst periods of my life
#don't even know what to tag this as#it's not personal bc arguably it's what this blog is for in the first place#but i don't want it showing up in my fandom tags#i don't even want to mention the comment itself bc it's not on them for being upset that i ended it the way i did#but there is something so triggering abt phrasing it as being 'disgusted'#about something very emotional that i honestly relate more to today than i did when i wrote it#if it feels like that whole fic was a projection of certain emotions#it probably was#a dissection of what i write about vs my personal life draws very clear emotional similarities#i've grown a tough skin abt legitimate criticisms on my writing#in fact i genuinely like being told the ways in which my writing is shit#so that i can improve it#but something abt this being abt the fic being too depressing#and having hope but not necessarily happiness#and having that relate to disgust abt the way i presented something that contains emotions that i have felt#and continue to feel bc life is a fucking nightmare and yeah i relate to the impoverished fucking asshole with the desire for affection#it's exhausting to experience this sort of thing even in a fandom space#where expressing my feelings is still not realistic or palatable enough#i get that people have triggers but i put trigger warnings in every single chapter#and you can't put a trigger warning in a comment#or know that i'm having a particularly bad time#it just reminds me why i stopped actively participating in fandom anyway#like i said. triggering

i keep remembering and feeling sick to my stomach. it's like finding out for the first time every single time. god i am so tired
#daffodil lamenting#i dont know if it's the dissociation or if things are just like that#like i keep finding parts that dont understand and they break every single time#ifs therapy#SHE'S NOT EVEN MY MOM. but she.#like when we were in a room together. she was. she was my friend i cared about her opinion#i was always happy to see her and she was always at that same goddamn spot at the kitchen table#she fixed my shirt for me. she taught me about ballet and myself without even realizing it#i havent grieved like this for anybody which mostly says things about how much my mental state has improved#but i was fucking dry heaving in the mcdonalds drive thru today#and i feel bad because she's not even my mom. but i miss her so much already#i felt so safe in that house and she was an invaluable piece of that experience for me#she fixed my mom's shirt and i tore the interfacing within days god

i know you are studying languages, how many do you speak/understand at like … i could get around here level fluency?
So, I've studied German, Russian, Latin and Japanese.
German is definitely my best, I started studying it probably about 8 years ago and have studied it for most of those years. I think it's just difficult to get fluent bcs it really depends on your teacher and environment. I think I could survive w it tho, I was pretty okay with it, and even improved, when I was in Austria and Germany. It's more of a confidence thing honestly. I think if I was there for more than a month, I'd definitely improve even more!
Russian is probably my second best, it's only been tho 2 years or so. I'm good at the basics, but I've not gotten any real world experience so :/ and my prof rn is so bad djkfkfl love her tho <3 I think I need to watch more Russian media like I do with German bcs that def helps. I think I'd be okay at getting around in a Russian speaking country, but mostly just basics.
I've forgotten most of my Japanese unfortunately ah :( but that was only like 2 years, and Latin is of course a dead language so there's not a lot of ways to apply it(but I'd like to get better with it)
#but my one major is german so i wanna improve w that the most :D#wanna study abroad more in Germany!!!!#unfortunately russian is not very feasible atm bcs of uhhh current events#theres other countries you can study at but its just a bit unfortunate atm#i think a lot of it is building your vocab and having more real world experience#<- and if not real world than watching media#i love foreign language content so its great#ugh but cant help but feel inferior every time i remember my main prof is a polyglot SKFKKFLG#catie.asks.

this is going to make me sound way too online which at this point is a given. anyway I think that online interactions about shared interests are the way I prefer to make friends full stop. like I have been only partially successful in making friends irl and the experience usually gives me so much anxiety that the process of getting there is grueling. but the people I made friends with 7 years ago due to shipping the same anime boys are like, still my friends and we interact multiple times a week. idk what to do with this information hvjklllkjjk
#my irl friends are? mostly online friends i got to meet irl#other people will say things like oh face to face communication is better my mental health has improved after getting rid of social media#i mean? too much face to face communication makes me a useless amoeba who can only lie in bed but.#it truly does feel like other people are just having a wildly different experience in the world than i am sometimes#then as a young adult you get to the stage where it's like. well saying i'm different than other girls is kind of stuck up!#i bet we are all really the same#*tries to use same interaction strategies and feels like i am being tortured*#*assumes we are all experiencing the horrors because i'm just like other girls*#*finds out years later we were not all experiencing the horrors every time we spoke to others*#anyway. ily all this is the way i like socialize and i am having a great time in our river bubble together

i unironically think gynecology is a barbaric practice and i'd genuinely rather die than go to one.
#every other field in the medical industry has had technological improvements and improvements in how testing/treatment is carried out#NOT gynecology.#Nope; gynecologists still use the same barbaric instruments that violent misogynistic 'doctors' used in the 1800s.#they still use no numbing when they rip chunks of your cervix out.#they still dont actually treat any conditions they find in your ripped up cervix sample. They just say 'it'll go away on its own'#conscious women are still used as living and unwilling experiments both by having random students conduct their exams#and by using mindless ''treatments'' like plastic meshes shoved inside their flesh then ripped out once it fuses to their tissue.#not to mention historically gynecology has been a facade for rapists and misogynists; exams were used to shame and punish women; and in#britain gynecologists were allowed to forcefully give a woman ''an exam'' at any time in any place for any reason ''to test if she has an#std''#the very ''father of gynecology'' was a slave owner who raped and abused and experimented on conscious women. Modern gynecologists use the#very same instruments as he did. they do practically the exact same exams in the same manner; violent and barbaric.#that's all you need to know about gynecology.
