[vocabulary-altering-posts]

you really need to raise your standards for what's considered "a phrase" because if it only makes sense in the specific context of the post it was originally found in and it isn't repeatable in other situations, that's not a phrase that has entered the lexicon, that's just something someone said one time.

i started this thing last week i need all the posts i can handle

What doesn't alter your vocabulary may alter, or may have already altered, someone else's. This is not about adding to The General Lexicon - I have an entire tag for things that change this site as a whole, which has a higher bar; this is largely about novelty and humor. This is us curb-stomping whatever the fuck we want into the right form for our needs, whatever those needs may be, including altering aspects of the phrase to fit the necessary format or context. It's a linguistic shotgun.

its my fuckin blog bitch ill shit where i want

was at a party a couple days ago and i had cause to open up my bag o'holding (small bag inside of my regular bag where i keep all my shenanigans, band aids + whistle + sewing kit + fishing line + swiss army knife etc), and the girl next to me peered over, saw the contents and piped up "oh, so you're a wizard"

(wip) totk rewritten botw2 edition

rough ideas for the reworked healing system- bottles+potions are back and must be used in real time, cooked meals are not storable but better than potions, different types of portable pots?

wasnt sure if the portable pot should have different effects or just have designs you can change, but decided to add a few different types for roughly different types of players without too many options that could overwhelm but still add some variety to any gameplay AND a more meaningful reward for bigger quests!

-my goal with this is avoid the pausing to spam apples into links mouth to heal problem, to readd some difficulty with more limited healing in general (bottles must be found or gained as a reward, usage in battle like in skyward sword via wheel menu and then used in real time) and adding more variety via the design of the pots, a neat new item since they are portable (set up a campfire, then option is added to add the pot for cooking), and make cooking a lil more interesting besides it spamming your inventory even more with healing stuff AND add some meaning to bottles and potions again bc imo they were one of the most useless things you could get when playing botw/totk- which is why cooked meals are not storable but with better effects, think of it like a bit more customizable and zeldafied elden ring mechanic with the usual heals and the one time physic buff

so if you got into a bossfight and lost it, you could set up a cooking spot before the arena to give yourself a temporary buff via a meal and restock your potions for in battle healing and/or effects depending on how many bottles you have, if you have trouble dealing damage for example you can use the firey pot to add some extra attack dmg (and yes it stacks if you do attack effect in the firey pot it adds extra attack damage, maybe even with a hidden bonus)

(got similar planned for the parasail .. like dif types with dif effects like faster gliding speed but more stamina usage- one used like koga does in aoc that lets you glide fully soundlessly ...)

(legend of zelda)

(also no NPC will give you a shitty cooked thing as a 'reward' anymore, if anything its a bottle that you can use like in the old games ..)

from the FIRST time i ever saw this scene up to now, and every time in between, i always think that topper is learning Something about himself here

[ddarker-dreams]

You always say Chrollo has meticulously thought of every single situation and outcome.

What is something darling could say/ask to make him freeze for a little longer than normal?

there are two potential routes.

the first route is to present him with the pufferfish dilemma,

or the far less fun route which is hitting him with a classic, "I think we should see other people."

any breakup attempts would not be well-received from chrollo, but this one in particular stirs up some negative sentiments. from his perspective, your morals might not perfectly align, but you have this titillating chemistry. he prides himself on his ability to read others, so for him to miss this discontentment in you doesn't bode well. it's a slight loss in power he wants to regain as soon as possible.

then there's the implication that you'd prefer someone else over him. this cuts him to the bone. there's his inherent possessiveness as a thief on the surface, then beneath that, loneliness that takes the form of roots spreading to unknown depths. he feels something for you, a sensation he attributes to the apex of a heist or when he gets his hands on a special curio. those sensations peak and fade. adrenaline wears off, excitement plateaus...

yes, he does occasionally get a rush from being around you, but what he finds far more fascinating is when he doesn't. when you're both simply reading in the same room, the ambiance that of pages turning rather than sirens and gore squelching. watching you fold laundry into separate piles so your clothes don't get mixed up. when you text him about an awful first date you're overhearing.

chrollo tried analyzing these sensations and came to no world-shattering conclusion. the thought he eventually arrived at is it's just... nice. warm. unassuming.

he can't find that with anyone else. so, his next best solution is to ensure you don't have the opportunity to find it with anyone else either.

Inspired by this.

"There is no bigger test than the Cloud Light sword. It hurts demons, and no one else besides those who have the Bing Yi clan blood can touch it. He must have Bing Yi clan blood."

The little lord frowned infront of him. "But there is so little we know of the sword. Maybe the sword didn't hurt him despite his demon blood because he is a child?"

"No, the legends are very clear. Demons cannot touch the sword without getting hurt. There has been no demon in history who has been able to touch this sword without getting hurt... unless we missed something in history."

Both of them sat there, mulling over the limited information they had to work with. Fan Ying darren peered over their little lord. The young boy, who had just become a man had barely started to live again after awakening the Cloud Light Sword. The child, despite all of their efforts, refused to eat, drink, sleep, or even move around unless he was trying to awaken his sword before.

To see him finally focusing on anything else besides the raw grief over his loss and his daughter was rare. The anything in question being a small child currently sleeping in his lap.

Fan Ying was sure that this opportunity was sent from heavens. That with this, their little lord will finally start healing from his heart shattering grief.

"We have poured over all the records. This child is carrying the jade Zhuo family members carry, claiming to have receieved it from his mother. The only unaccounted member in Zhuo family in recent generations is your grandaunt, mayhaps his mother received it from her. We cannot recognise any other name despite his claim that he hails from one of the biggest sect in entire jianghu. He got here due to some artificat from your clan's treasures, which one, we are still not able to determine. And if all of that is not enough, he clearly resembles you a lot. If he was born alongside you, you would have been twins. At the very least, this does proves that he is indeed a member of Bing Yi blood despite showing visible traits of being a demon."

Xiao Zhuo darren showed no reaction, continuing to stroke the young boy's hair. The small bundle of furs stirred lightly, tightly curling into himself as if he was feeling cold. The little lord moved around a little, adjusting the fur cloak he had put on the young charge so it covered him entirely, hiding the small child's face in his chest.

"So you are saying that we have no way to return him to his family?"

Fan Ying only sighed. "Zhuo darren, you had seen how he was behaving when he arrived here. Despite not outwordly showing it, he was clearly frightened, claimiing that his older brother will not accept him as he is now. He also mentioned him being the cause of his gege's young brothers death, though I doubt that, servents always gossip needlessly and he heard it from them. He looks well taken care of which means that the Gong Sect he mentioned must be an influential, rich sect, but he was not behaving as a young master normaly does. He claims his parents died some time ago. It is likely that he was taken care of only as a responsibility due to his blood. Now that he has shown visible signs of being a demon, there is no guarantee he will be taken care of after this. You know how prejudiced people are with demon blood."

Zhuo Yichen involuntarily tightened his hold on the young child. Despite their young lord's vehemence at hating demons and inexperience at handling young children, the young boy had clearly demonstrated the opposite, refusing to hand over the child to anyone else ever since he arrived, taking care to coax him, wipe his tears, and feed him some delicious fruits.

"You said it yourself, he is carrying the same jade my grandaunt was supposedly carrying. Father often mentioned to brother how our grandfather was a bit... strict. She must have married a demon, which may have caused her name to be struck off from main family lineage, and her daughter married Yuanzhi's father. So, he is family. And he has no parents either..."

"Zhuo darren, you don't need to convince me," the older man smiled. "You only need to convince yourself. You are the lord of Bing Yi clan now. What you decide is what we will follow. If you chose to take in this child and take care of him, no one should have any objections."

Zhuo darren looked at him with such hope that he felt his heart breaking. The boy himself was young, too young to take care of a child. But he was alone too.

So why shouldn't two children, who were all alone in the world take care of each other?

"Right." The little lord cleared his throat. He stood up, lightly gathering the bundle in his arms but staggered a bit, still recovering from the year long starvation spell he had gone through. He carefully tucked in the child's face in the croak of his shoulder. "Make all the arrangements for tomorrow, for his clothes and his belongings. Also call for a doctor, a trustworthy one. We need to ensure he is healthy. After he is settled down, we will talk about including his name back on the family register."

Fan Ying also stood up. " Zhuo darren, a room is prepared for him, you can leave him there-"

"No need," the little lord had already started to walk away. "So much have changed for him in short amount of time. It's not feasible for him to wake up alone, or to an unfamiliar face. He will sleep with me."

The little lord vanished, his steps silent, a direct juxtaposition to a year ago when his mere presence will cause the sound of bells to ring in the air. Despite the melancholy though, Fan Ying was sure that the coming days will be an improvement.

For both his little lord and the small didi he had acquired just now.

played the demo for banquet for fools (dev. hannah and joseph games, launching into early access on september 30th).

i honestly just wanted to share this since this left a very positive impression on me and has all the hallmarks of a turbo lofi production with basically no exposure. so i might as well share in case anybody else wants to check it out.

banquet for fools is a party-based arpg that takes place in a fictional island called invimona. the game casts you as asal in the first act, who immediately gets to work as the other people around them are attacked (and attacking each other, as if they are being compelled to). it is after the first act that you create your four party members who are sent to investigate what happened in the first act.

the combat is simple but an interesting spin on the arpg, formula incorporating a sort of active time battle system that sees a bar fill up until you can perform an action, letting you move around freely as you do so and switch between party members. from what i could tell, currently only basic attacks are implemented, but there seems to be an interesting magic system that allows you to create your own spells. the character creator is surprisingly beefy. you can create characters of any of 5 races that sound interesting from the blurbs. stats and traits are based on a combination of race and sex (which is a slider that features 6 or so combinations of body type and height), in a way that reminds me of morrowind. you can assign stats and skills based on predefined archetypes or you can make your own custom archetype. during conversations, dialogue choices are assigned to each party member depending on their stats and skills. and the art style is gorgeous; it reminds me of claymation. an issue is that it seems that cutscenes are pre-rendered which may be associated with the limited resolutions which i wish were expanded.

overall i found it very interesting, albeit very vague at this point. i do believe the presentation of information could stand to be improved. but there is something very unique and interesting in this title that grabbed my attention. i'll be sure to keep an eye on it!

Poker night at the litterbox

(Genius idea from my friend @noir-ish-bee)

[zetadraconis11]

I think what a funny question would be to Professor Weasley, why does the book say that you can learn the Unforgivable Curses?

That is quite the question, isn't it? The book that has everything the students "needs" and then some.

As a somewhat completionist, I wanted to learn them, but my MC is mostly a goody-two-shoes, lol.

That being said...that would make for a funny conversation...

*in the Transfiguration classroom*

Prof. Weasley: How have you been doing with your field guide? Any luck finding some pages?

MC: Well, yes, I've found quite a few already.

Wealsey: Wonderful! It seems you've been doing well in acclimating to this new world.

MC: I have a question, though...

Weasley: Yes?

MC, opens book: In the list of spells for me to learn, I see that I CAN learn the Unforgiveables.

Weasley: Oh dear... I don't know how-

MC: But you want me to completely fill out this book, right?

Weasley: I- that was the intention, yes, but-

MC: Alright! Time to learn some war crimes!

*MC runs out of the classroom*

Weasley:

Weasley: Merlin, what I have done?
