Chilchuck analysis speedrun: As a hardworking half-foot who grew up poor and discriminated against and had his gullibility taken advantage of multiple times in his early adventuring days, Chilchuck thinks optimism is a dangerous flaw. He’s stressed and strict all the time because his job is noticing details like traps that could get everyone killed before anyone knows it, he takes the lives of everyone to be on his shoulders, and with the way he speaks about it that probably partly reflects how he felt about taking it upon himself to provide for his family too. His life’s always been pretty centered around work and has become even moreso now that his wife left and everyone is independent, and due to past events he’s very iffy with bonding with coworkers. He thinks feelings and job are a disaster mix. Like with his wife or with parties hiring him as sacrifice, being open or having good faith is vulnerability which can get you hurt, so he processes and shows all his stress as anger instead of worry. Doing strict dieting probably isn’t helping the irritability what with hunger, and on top of being a hunger suppressant alcohol might be the main stress reliever he has.

His grey hairs are so earned

I figured out how to mod last weekend and I want to apologize to Elliott for being experimented on, but you make a great G'raha sir (with a couple dialogue changes)

I do think some of the handwringing I've seen about "hate" is funny because from what I can tell, even on twitter people are being surprisingly civil. The cast hasn't even had to make a big announcement clarifying a situation because everyone misinterpreted something and worked themselves into a furor. It took less than 12 hours after the c2 finale before Matt and Liam were like, "Uh, what do you mean, we literally said on stream Caleb and Essek get together." But there's also been a significant shift online since then to the point where anything short of "the precious baby blorbos were treated so niceys :3" is considered vicious hate, for some reason*, so I can't say I'm really surprised.

ooooh..... hypocrisy......

[gazpacho-deluxe]

anyway damien leone just posted some bullshit beefing with his cast for standing up for basic human rights and said he wants terrifier to be ‘an apolitical space’ and then indirectly criticized said cast for ‘weaponizing’ the platform an ‘apolitical’ film gave them and i just have to ask if this guy has ever actually critically consumed horror

Learn from who? Learn from you? You are still a brat. What do you know? You're only three years older. Like you are any better than me. You're 21, and still a virgin. What are you proud of? I think you can't do it.

one thing I have to keep reremembering every time I'm playing a soulslike/similar kind of difficult game -- and that I wish I could internalize elsewhere in my life as well -- is that you always, always have to suffer through the long dark of an inexplicable failcringe era before you can emerge into a fresh new dawn of competence. faceplanting into humiliating failure in ways you hadn't even conceived of before on a loop can sometimes be the herald of great and wondrous things to come soon. don't be so quick to abandon yourself in the early murk of daybreak because you think you just suck!!!

how niko is with the LIs !!

time to do this finally because i need to yap about niko

alex: first, let me say how much i adore alex. i need to get this out of the way because if i don't get my love for him out now, it will impede my ability to write about him later. anyways. niko and alex are a very cute couple!! alex was very endeared to niko when he first started working at the farm because niko was too stubborn to ask alex to do anything for him, so he was always doing the hard shit by himself despite being awful at it. slowly, though, he got better, and they fell in love, and niko's skills made the farm actually defensible from remy's attacks (he's also occasionally disappearing to play naked blackjack with a different farmhand to protect the farm, but hey alex doesn't need to know that). alex is detached from the town, so he's a little clueless to all the shit niko's had to deal with, and niko's fine with that. he likes that alex isn't aware of his past reputation. of course this illusion kinda shatters with the remy-goon-murder incident, and that kinda fundamentally changes their relationship, but alex kinda just takes this as an excuse to love niko even harder. also alex is the britishest person alive and niko thinks that's. incredibly funny

sydney: god it's SO hard to write for the main three without talking about The Polycule AU but i will do my damnedest. unlike alex, sydney does know everything about niko. if there was an exam on nikolaj kaminski, syd would be the only person in the world to get 100%. he and niko tell each other everything. it's not like sydney has any reservations around niko- he's the one who showed him a whole new side of the world!! their souls are completely bare before each other!! of course there's still some discomfort there because syd has changed a lot for niko, he is definitely happier now but still. it's hard to reconcile the fact that everything he thought he knew has been thrown into limbo. it's also hard to scrap the traditional ideals of love the temple gave him. niko is a thief, a murderer, and a former prostitute- not exactly the spouse the temple had in mind for syd. but niko's such a good boyfriend, and syd wants him forever, plus sirris likes him, sooooo... fuck what the temple wants lmao

whitney: niko was NOT someone that whitney wanted to fall in love with. he was always kind of an outsider- this freaky little basket case of an orphan, roaming around town, always covered in scratches in bruises, always cursing in polish under his breath. unfortunately, though, niko is beautiful, and the strange mixture of utter submissiveness and utter delinquency is way too compelling for whitney. when they start dating, niko decides he can fix him!! which is ridiculous because he can't even fix himself but go off king. once they figure each other out their dynamic is pretty cute. niko meets whitney where he's at and this is how he gets into thievery, which whitney thinks is adorable. whitney realizes the upper limit on his insults for niko because otherwise niko will break down cry

robin: of course, niko and robin were childhood best friends. they had little crushes on each other growing up and it was cutesy!!! they started dating when they were old enough to but mostly only because it was expected of them. it felt like the easy, natural thing to do. and of course niko started paying robin’s rent! but that put a lot of extra strain on him that he didn’t need. i think niko and robin both kind of understand that their relationship is pretty much just a really good friendship with a bit of sex added on, and they’re fine with that. it’s relaxed!! in the polycule au robin is totally different though heehee i have thoughts on that

kylar: niko and kylar's relationship is... strange. kinda the classic non-lover kylar x pc relationship. niko thought he was sweet at first! he didn’t bully kylar or anything and kylar of course mistook this for affection. niko was totally fucking oblivious to kylar’s feelings for him until kylar kidnapped him. and niko was terrified but people-pleased his way out of it. they had a lot of sex, absolutely none of it consensual. niko’s just very thankful he didn’t get pregnant from that whole endeavor. now kylar thinks they’re soulmates and niko is mostly just terrified for his life. another reason why he rarely leaves the farm!! he also feels obligated to keep kylar from hurting himself. yay for one-sided toxic obsessive love

avery: this relationship is. a ticking time bomb. that's the best way to describe it. niko sucked up to avery a lot in the beginning because he needed the money. he was kind of a perfect sugar baby, just doing absolutely everything avery said. avery loved him for it. niko put up with everything. but then quinn won game night, and niko was so fucked up from the experience that he started avoiding avery altogether. he had enough money by that point. so now, niko’s rarely every in town and does not need avery and avery is fuckin ANGRY about it. i haven’t decided how he’s gonna take revenge yet but you bet your ass he’s gonna do it

Running into a dating dilemma issue I have not encountered in quite some time. Starting talking to two different people on an app at around the same time, went on a date with one of them last Saturday. It went surprisingly well, even fooled around a little for the first time in a long while. We have a second date at an arcade planned for this Sunday.

Other person was a little slower on the draw (not as timely with responses) and has offered to meet up this Friday. They seem nice enough, but now I'm kind of focused on the first person- but obviously that connection is also still in the exploratory stages and there are no guarantees that anything else will happen with them. I'm not great at dividing my attention when I'm interested in someone but I also don't want to count any chickens before they hatch (the chickens in this case being a meaningful or at least ongoing sexual relationship 🐣)

So the dilemma is: do I still go on the date with person #2? The way I see it I have three options- agree to the date and see where it goes, decline the date, or put it off until next week and see how I feel after the second date with the guy that I already met. I feel like I should make a choice soon but I truly don't know which one 😬
