#Y'all get to deal with my shitposting and having fun

[toristarwing]

Also here, the current fanfic I'm writing.

P3p twin AU, got some shenanigans afoot.

WAIT SHIT I CAN DO THE CUSTOM PERSONA ART HERE NOW

[msviolacea]

Okay! Random thoughts and observations about Star Rail 2.2! Spoilers, obviously!

tl;dr - not as coherent as 2.1 was, story-wise, but SO MUCH LORE. SO MUCH. But honestly most of the below is random nonsense and shitposting.

I didn't think Xipe was the kind of god to go Catholic, but apparently they have confession? Huh.

Bravo to Hoyo writers for pulling off the "it was all a dream" gambit in a way that actually works.

I was willing to possibly buy that we were just getting a slightly disappointing easy-out right up until a) the IPC went "nah, we don't want the planet anymore" and b) Ratio and Screwllum were vaguely happy to work together. At that point, it was like "ahhhh, we're in a DREAM dream y'all."

Poor Sunday, radicalized by being an overly protective older sibling. Relatable, tbh. You know, except for the making yourself a giant supervillain mecha god. Though that's tempting some days, I won't lie.

On the other side of things, it did feel like a disappointing cop-out after spending SO MUCH TIME on his story in 2.1 to just be told "yeah, actually Aventurine just got rescued off-screen."

HOWEVER, kudos to Argenti for surfing into Penacony, immediately finding the forbidden dreamspace and rescuing an IPC ambassador, then rolling up to take 2nd place in an idol competition before fucking off to find more beauty or whatever. King shit. Bravo. Come back soon.

Speaking of the HSR husbando game, BOOTHILL. Who thinks pointing a gun in your face is a way to say hello and has a Plan C that's just "... guess we'll take hostages!" Stay forever, you insane space cowboy.

On a slightly related tangent, I loved the flashback exchange between Firefly and Blade, showing their relationship to each other as Stellaron Hunters. After all the Luofu nonsense, it's fun to see Blade as a weird older brother figure.

Another related tangent to the above: since I also watched some of the most recent Genshin patch on YT this week, shoutout to Daman Mills for having the "deep raspy voiced tragic murder hobo" to "ridiculous androgynous magician twink" range. [insert Patrick Stewart "Acting" gif here]

But back to Firefly, I think she had a nice showcase here, though I wish they'd given her more focus in the last bit instead of sorta-kinda-maybe-probably not killing her offscreen via a short Acheron speech. I assume she'll be back, given that she's dropping as a playable character next patch, but still. There was just a lot going on in this patch and not enough time to do everything they really needed to do.

However, they COULD have cut the idol competition, because that added absolutely nothing to the plot and only really existed because someone clearly went "huh, how do we fit more puzzles and trash fights here?"

We also needed more Robin. She was awesome, don't get me wrong, but again, I would have given up the stupid idol competition in favor of maybe getting more time to play her and not just Sparkle-as-Robin running around giving people ... doomsday buttons?

Speaking of which .. wtf? Like, those went NOWHERE. Maybe they're for later payoff, but given that she was explicitly telling people to use them during the concert ... it was weird.

Dan Heng: Listen my past life just cold clocked me over the head, I need time to process and not deal for a while, Imma stay out of Dream Disneyland and chill. Also Dan Heng: so, my friends are in trouble AGAIN, not like this isn't a "must be Tuesday" occurrence for the Astral Express crew, but my first instinct is to use this very important button to call the saner of my previous life's ex-boyfriends to bring an army to help.

Like, I'm CERTAINLY not complaining about the Jing Yuan cameo, even just as a dream, but that was a very quick response, Dan Heng. I see you. (PS: as long as we're giving VA shoutouts in this post, shoutout to Alejandro Saab for Jing Yuan's everything.)

Little detail I didn't catch myself, but saw someone online point out today - Welt gave the IPC the ammunition they need to take out the Dream Master. Early in the patch, he points out that the poker chip Aventurine gave us is actually a transmitter and recorder, and takes it with him to meet with Robin and Sunday and the Dream Master. At the very end, we see Aventurine playing with the chip, and Jade mentions that they obtained a recording "from your Trailblaze friend" that would help them on Penacony/with the Dream Master. So shoutout to Welt for ... well, deciding that space capitalism is preferable to crazy assholes who are trying to use innocent people to revive a god? I guess he's seen plenty of nonsense in his time, tbh, so I'm going to trust his judgement.

Speaking of Welt, Acheron's name drop was not the only Honkai Impact 3rd direct reference. It was an interesting touch for them to include Welt's "real"/original name in the credits sequences. Don't know if it's anything more than just an easter egg for HI3 folks, but still. Interesting.

Harmony Trailblazer is actually pretty strong. I'm definitely going to build mine.

All in all, I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the last patch, but it's the difference between like a 9.5/10 and an 8/10. Coherent self-contained stories mean a lot to me, but the lore and character stuff that was in this patch was A+, and I'm still digesting half of it.

[melodyofthevoid]

the way y'all are handling ocean idiots is actually kind of inspiring me, because i have Ideas but i feel pressured to turn it into a whole blown Thing when all i want to do is just have fun with it, because every artist/writer/etc ive seen does it that way.

yall are the first people ive seen who are just trying to Vibe with your blorbos and it makes doing the same thing feel more achievable to me. god bless

PS larus is my favorite. love the little skrunkly bird man. also can i steal yalls powerpoint idea 🥺?

PSS i assume everyone else working on ocean idiots will see this bc yall are mutuals, but in the event that they dont, could you please forward this to them? because i want them to know that theyre indirectly inspiring a random person with their Just-For-Fun-Creation as well >< many thanks

Aw, anon this is incredibly sweet. I sent your message along to the others before I got around to this answer both because I wanted to make sure they saw it, and because I wanted to respond to this in a way that really reflects my gratitude.

It's honestly so tempting to start making ideas "a thing". I didn't really understand that until the last couple of years and let me tell you, there is a lot of pressure to do that. People like projects! They like updates! They love seeing the progression of a story and getting invested in that. I absolutely understand why people leave comments like "this should be a webtoon" or "you guys should make an animated series". In a perfect world, that'd be a dream! The temptation to do that and establish a base is also attractive because it can really form a base that gives numbers and comments, which artists of all stripes thrive on (myself very much included).

But what most people never really see is the downsides of that. From their perspective, a one episode animatic, a chapter or two of fic or few panels of a comic, isn't a lot. It's kinda disappointing, and I get that. For the creator though, there's any number of reasons that things fall apart. Personal differences with friends amplified by the stress of expectations. Creative burnout. Shutting down due to the sheer scope of the undertaking. These are all real, and it sucks to deal with.

For me personally, I know I do want to tackle trying to write more of ocean idiots, maybe even try to nanowrimo this shit (not in an actual month but you get the gist). But that's just me. If it bums me out or I put it to the side, then that's just my personal project to pick up later. If we tried to make it a series, then we'd deal with the stress of trying to keep up a schedule on top of lives (college, jobs, personal lives, etc). It'd take the joy out of these characters we love.

Some of the most fun I've had in the past few years I've been writing and creating has just been fucking around with my friends. Throwing silly au ideas back and forth and exchanging art and fics for no one but ourselves. There's a genuine satisfaction that comes from it.

Not everything has to be a big production. Artists don't make their magnum opus every time. They draw shitposts and write crackfic and make funny edits. It's healing to have something silly, something fun just for you, and to share it if you want. That can connect with people, great! But it can also just be for you. I could go on a whole tangent about social media and the commodification of attention/art but that's not really what we're here for.

I hope that whatever you create, anon, that it makes you happy. That it brings a little joy to your day. That you can have that thing you share with maybe just your closest friends to play with. Lord knows I need to remind myself of that too.

Tum Mere Ho, Is Pal Mere Ho - Chapter 1

Fandom: Chimera (Korean Drama)

Ship: Cha Jae Hwan/Lee Joong Yeop

Rating: M for Mature

Story Synopsis: Agent Cha Jae Hwan, freshly immigrated to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and now a member of the Manchester chapter of Interpol, is getting married to the love of his life, Jerome Edwards. After all, eleven months of dating and the occasional weekend sleepover is more than enough to propel them into the next step of their life - or so they think. Alternatively, Cha Jae Hwan marries Jerome 'Lee Joong Yeop' Edwards, and thus marries into the Edwards clan, so now he has to juggle his husband, their new home, his in-laws, and the nostalgia of those he left behind in Seoul. Married life's not so easy after all. [post-canon, established Cha Jae Hwan/Lee Joong Yeop, sequel to "Saaye Ye Mere Hain Tujh Mein Samaaye"]

Chapter Synopsis: In hindsight, maybe it would have been smart to let their relationship blossom over the course of several years instead of several months.

—

I'm back!!! This sequel came to me in pieces shortly after I finished publishing the first fic. At first, I thought I could escape the plot bunnies by just shitposting and giffing, but then the ideas blossomed into a story, so now I'm back at it again. This is a romantic drama. They're married, inshallah, now they're just dealing with married life. Why? Because it's fun to write about corny shit, crazy in-laws, and the immigrant narrative.

Also, I wrote the first four chapters of this fic in the wee hours of morning for the past couple of weeks after finishing up work stuff. If you see spelling mistakes, mind ya business.

Don't know how long this one is gonna go on for, and updates will likely be sporadic! This is my 'write as you go' story for the year, so I'll write for as long as my brain keeps producing enough crackheadery to convince me to put pen to paper. Hope y'all enjoy, and don't forget to leave a review if you do! I love attention and things (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

The Kalenko Grasps For Straws With The Warriors Ships Because She Can

See, after what @thewarriorshomegirl said about Snow and Ajax, I'm in a shitpost mood. So allow me to rate these things (10 being the best thing, 1 being the worst thing). If nothing else, appreciate the camraderie, my dudes.

First, we've got Swan and Cleon: They have pretty respectable relationship, but I don't see it going much further than that. Though if it did, that would be some good shit, brother. Though, my inner Cleon/Lincoln shipper automatically deducts a few points, so I give this a 5/10.

Swan and Ajax: I guess the appeal is that tension between them, you know, the "I'll beat your ass, but I'll also push you into a wall and make out with you." tension. I can see the appeal, so 7/10.

Swan and Fox: They're really good friends, and they have personalities that compliment each other. In the original script, Fox is about to tell that Swan is upset and Swan tells Fox why. It's not as good in the movie, but in the script, it's totally there, so for that alone, I gotta give it the 10/10.

Swan and Rembrandt: This pairing feels wrong on so many levels. 1/10.

Swan and Cowboy: They're clearly good friends, so I could see it happening but this feels like it's only slightly better than Swan and Rembrandt, but I could see it more than Swan and Cleon, so 6/10.

Swan and Vermin: I don't think Swan would want to deal with Vermin's complaining, so I doubt that would go well, 4/10.

Swan and Snow: They have a pretty good relationship, they seem friendly enough, but it's nothing to write home about. 5/10.

Swan and Cochise: listen, they seem like they'd have a fun ass dynamic. I like to think that Swan and Cochise have a pretty good relationship (if only because their actors seemed like they were chill) so I'm gonna have to say 7/10 for this one.

Cleon and Snow: I could Snow trying to gain Cleon's approval be a cause for them to get closer, but side from that, no dice. 4/10.

Cleon and Fox: Seems alright in theory. Cleon and Fox seem like they could work, but I don't think it'd be super overly cute, so meh 6/10.

Cleon and Ajax: They'd clash too much, I feel. They get on decently, but Ajax is so loose cannon I doubt that would work. 3/10.

Cleon and Cowboy: Pretty sure Cleon forgets about Cowboy's existence except in like, one mission. 2/10.

Cleon and Rembrandt: No. That is all. 1/10.

Cleon and Cochise: Meh, nothing interesting there and I'm having a difficult time picturing it. 4/10.

Cleon and Vermin: I mean... Obviously Cleon trusts Vermin enough to be willing to start a gang with him, so it's not like this ship would be pulled out of thin air. 7/10.

Cowboy and Ajax: this one is really hit or miss. It could either be really sweet or really sour. Either way, it seems like it'd be an interesting dynamic to read, so 8/10.

Cowboy and Snow: Something about these two... Just, *Chef's kiss*. They get on pretty well. And they just seem precious. The potential is just there. Plus, what were they doing that we didn't get to see how they got back to the station. ∞/10.

Cowboy and Rembrandt: Iono, Fam, they do be cute though. Two soft boios out here vibin' and in the original script there's a scene, bitch. 9/10.

Cowboy and Fox: Pretty sure these two never interact. Not even in the original script, or it's so insignificant that's it's nothing to work with. 2/10.

Cowboy and Vermin: I mean, he did call Vermin "Baby" in the original script- these two could have a very entertaining relationship. 8/10.

Cowboy and Cochise: *Inhales.* Look, Cochise calling Cowboy "Daddy" in the original script give this at least a seven. But these two have a great dynamic. They're friends, they work well together, etc. 8/10.

Ajax and Snow: They're friends. They have a decent relationship and Ajax probably trusts Snow way more than most of the other members. 7/10.

Ajax and Cochise: I don't see these two being together. They give off wingman vibes. They are really good friends. That being said, they work well together. Ajax clearly trusts Cochise and they've got a fun dynamic. 8/10.

Ajax and Fox: These two can't stand each other. That being said, this pairing could be some top tier shit. They would have that same dynamic as Swan and Ajax, especially because Fox talks so much shi- Oh my GOD. (Sorry, I'm questioning all of my life choices with this one. 7/10.)

Ajax and Rembrandt: Don't seem like they'd vibe at all honestly. 1/10

Ajax and Vermin: They have a fun enough dynamic with Ajax teasing him sometimes. Though, aside from that, I don't see it much. They seem more like wingmen also. But that relationship dynamic doesn't feel as present with these two as it does with Ajax and Cochise. 6/10.

Fox and Rembrandt: in the Script, Fox is described as Rembrandt's best friend. I like how the script treats them, but in the movie, they don't get too much of that. Though, there is that scene where Fox is reassuring Rem that the maps are shitty and the one where he sends Rem to go check the graveyard. But they could be super cute soft boios. 7/10.

Fox and Cochise: They seem more like friendly banter type, though it could be a fun relationship. It's really either way. 5/10.

Fox and Snow: There's nothing here because these two don't interact. ;-; 2/10.

Fox and Vermin: I could see it, but it's nothing too special, so 5/10.

Rembrandt and Cochise: I don't see much of anything here, but I could probably be swayed, so 3/10.

Rembrandt and Vermin: I could see it slightly more than Rem and Cochise, but still not much there. 4/10.

Rembrandt and Snow: These two would be hella wholesome honestly. Enough said. 8/10.

Vermin and Cochise: In this household, we kiss the homies goodnight. 9/10.

Vermin and Snow: Nah, I got nothing. 2/10.

Snow and Cochise: There's a potential ship there, but not much. 6/10.

I wanna hear what y'all think of these pairings honestly. These are all personalised answered, so I am only speaking for me. Let me know what you think. It is 04:46 in the morning lmao.

Check In Tag ✔️

I was tagged by both @natolesims and @fataleromeo ! Thank both of y'all for thinking of me!

Why did you choose your URL?

I discovered simblr and really, really wanted to make one. but I had no idea what username to pick. At the time, I was working a mindless sort of job, so I had a ton of time to dwell on it. I decided to pick a name that reflected why I got back into the Sims - it was a reality away from reality. And so, reality-refuge!

Any side blogs? If you have them name them and why you have them!

I have two!

@reality-refuge-finds for the cc I want to put in my game.

@reality-refuge-reblogs for the nonsim things that occasionally drift across my dash.

(I also have a separate personal blog, but you gotta be like level 50 friend to unlock that info lol)

How long have you been on tumblr?

...is 'too long' a valid answer?

If I had to guess, probably since 2012ish, so...nine years? NINE YEARS?!?

Like I said, way too long.

Do you have a queue tag?

Nope, and never have! The only time I ever queue stuff is for simblr, and I have different tags for that.

Why did you start your blog in the first place?

I started playing my NSB just for fun, but around the 4th or 5th gen, I was telling myself stories that I wanted to preserve. So...simblr!

Why did you choose your icon/pfp?

Hah, my icon(s) is usually just a picrew of myself! I've been thinking of changing it up soon.

Why did you choose your header?

My header has always been a landscape shot of the world/neighborhood that the current heir is living in. So right now, that is Whiskerman's Wharf in Brindleton Bay!

What's your post with the most notes?

I believe it is this one with 50 notes (!!!)

Considering the most I get on a post is 4 or 5 notes on a good day, this felt like a huge deal to me.

How many mutuals do you have?

Uh technically I have 65, but there's a good chunk of those that haven't updated in a year or longer, so...who knows!

How many followers do you have?

128, and I'm grateful for each and every one! <3

How many people do you follow?

207!

Have you ever made a shitpost?

I've made shitpost-adjacent posts, I think, but I do tend to keep my weirdest thoughts (and many of my thoughts, really) to myself xD

How often do you use tumblr each day?

According to my screentime, about 1 hour each day! Most of that is in the morning when I get up (and also doesn't include desktop, but eh).

Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog? What happened?

Nope! I've even stayed far from the sidelines with most simblr drama, it stresses me out too much.

How do you feel about 'you need to reblog this' posts?

I feel like it cheapens the content of the post, if that makes sense. Whenever I see something like that, no matter how well-intentioned, it just feels like a plea to get more notes and actually keeps me from reblogging the post at all.

Do you like tag games?

I do! It might take me a minute to get to them (and asks too let's be real), I always enjoy sharing bits about myself and my story as well as seeing other people share!

Do you like ask games?

See above! lol

Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

I feel like tumblr famous and simblr famous are different leagues tbh.

Do you have a crush on a mutual?

Nope!

I tag @pink-chevalier, @plasmavamp, @prossims, @chaoticsimlish, and @cherryfangs (if you want! no pressure)

Hey, wanna delve a little deeper? 👀

.

.

.

I am a Pagan and been plant-based since 2017, relating to my practice. I care very deeply for nature, I love being in nature, being around animals and admiring plants, mushrooms are also incredibly cool. I also think rocks and crystals are rad. I like to make an active part in being eco friendly, and hope to one day be self sufficient on a plot of land with a Mule.

I grew up in a working class family and will always be working class, and have often struggled with money. Although I do have the fortune of never being homeless, we have come close in our difficult times. I care very deeply about helping those struggling as I have gone through it myself.

I am on the autism spectrum, and I also deal with high levels of stress, anxiety and depression. I have got better with them recently but they like to show up whenever. I don't know at points if I've gotten past them, or if they've just gotten so normalised at this point that I just deal with it without realising, oof. I'm also prone to nerve pain (Sciatica & Neuralgia) and joint pain, namely in my knees and lower back.

I have also recently been diagnosed with IIH, a condition that mean I have and produce too much cerebrospinal fluid, putting excess pressure in my skull. The symptoms for me are headaches, temporary loss of vision, double vision, tinnitus, trouble focusing, fatigue, balancing issues and short term memory loss. It's not great, but I'm thankful my symptoms are mild compared to others with it, as in some cases it can lead to blindness :(

I was actually diagnosed with CVST. It's a rare form of stroke where rather than being starved of blood in the brain, there's too much blood, leading to a bleed. I have IH alongside this, but the main difference between IH and IIH is that IH has a cause where IIH doesnt. The cause being the stroke. The symptoms are the same though so 🤷‍♂️

.

Not to be edgy but they're important parts to me as a person, so I thought they'd be important to mention uwu

Also some fun trivia! (If y'all even care sksk)

•Terrified of Baboons, Pelicans, Moths/Butterflies

•I adore the holy trinity of cursed animated animal movies (Watership Down, Plague Dogs & Felidae)

•I love the Moomins, Beatrix Potter and the similar aesthetic uwu

•I sleep in a hammock

•I dabble with harmonica (it's awful lmao)

•I have some weird water phobia thing going on?? I don't know what's happening with that, it's complicated

•I have a dog (Bella, Bedlinton/Springer), cat (Skitty/Scibby/Squid/Skit/Skid/Squeek, black longhair), Degu (Bruno/LittleMan), Cornsnake (Ramen) and a Shrimp tank UwU

IMPORTANT NEWS

First, off, the important news first. I am copying parts of this from the discord, because i really don’t feel like typing it all back up again.

Thank you for dealing with my shenanigans and antics for as long as you have, and i enjoy having your company and talking to y'all, but i have a important announcement to make. 

I think i may be taking a break from Discord as a whole for an indeterminate amount of time starting around this Saturday/Sunday. I will still do our Scooby-Doo movie community stream probably around tonight at 5:00 PM EST, so i can start my break off on a good note and y'all can have a good memory of me when i take break. 

Why? As of the past month, my mental health really took a plummet, and i've been dealing with being constantly burnt out, and having newfound anxiety that's been screwing me over big time. I found that i was also having alot more panic attacks as of late, and dissociating more. 

And it hasn't been fun, and i wouldn't with it upon my worst enemy. But it's getting to the point for me where i'm beginning to think i can't run this server anymore. 

Sometimes, people do really need to think of what they might cause and do to other people.In my absence, @47x5 (dirty commie) (succ tail) will be the go-to person for problems. 

I've known her for around 7-8 months know, and she is a real good friend of mine, and she's someone that i can trust. She's also pretty much literally been here ever since day one. Yes, she is a shitposter, amongst other silly things, but she is genuine and isn't afraid to speak her mind.

I hope you guys all understand me.
