Hi loves! Well, here it is: my first ever speed build. It's very chaotic and messy (it took me more than 20 hours to build this, so making a short video was a challenge)... buuuut the playlist is nice if you like piano and classical music, so at least you can play it in the background while you do something else. I hope you enjoy the build... and the video!
Also, the build has been fully playertested and I changed some things since recording and taking screenshots so you can play through the career without problems.
Much love. 💜

Kinda. I've repeated some of what you've said but reframed it to emphasis different things and come to a different conclusion, especially in my follow up post, which you may not have gotten to yet. But I probably should have made a separate post instead of replying, as replying feels like more of a callout. Sorry about that - I'm relatively new to Tumblr so still internalizing some of the rules, but I was also hoping to potentially have a conversation with the person I reblogged from. One of the reasons I was drawn to the show as a whole is because starting from Adora thinking "The Princesses are evil" is really interesting. To me, it makes it easier to see *why* someone would collaborate with a dictatorship, as you said. When we start from a position of self-righteousness ("we're fighting a justified war, the Princesses are evil"), it's really easy to get tricked into doing harmful things to the other side in the name of doing right. If someone hasn't picked up on that part of the show, it's because it's not as explicitly spelled out (and would probably be too heavy-handed if it was more explicitly spelled out). It requires a lot more inference, and at least where I'm from, we don't do a great job of teaching that kind of understanding. So I'm not ready to write someone like that off, because I think we could be doing a better job on teaching that. But that's not to say that you, personally, have to go find and help them! I just didn't want to leave the other interpretation unsaid.
So again, sorry for it feeling like I was calling you out or hijacking your post. I'll only respond to this one if you respond to it again directly. And if you like, I can move my thoughts to another post so you don't get bothered by it further.
one thing that this spop rewatch is really opening my eyes on is how hypocritical the Catra redemption discourse was back when the show was still airing. i could make a compilation of all the times Scorpia tries to murder someone in the Rebellion or Entrapta disregards basic morals to uphold her partnership with the Horde and yet they get passes in regards to their redemption while people complain about Catra not “deserving it”. and like, it’s literally only because Scorpia and Entrapta are nicer than Catra. if Catra wasn’t a huge bitch no one would be saying her redemption was rushed or undeserved. people care far more about personality than they do about actions.

All of this. There's also eschewing Platinum's fixes to characterization (especially when it came to Cyrus. Fortunately, Masters exists but why should it be the responsibility of a niche mobile game to save the characters?) and pacing too.
It makes some improvements to gameplay, but as Mikey mentioned, it's really inconsistent in how it does things like the Dex and difficulty (easy before absolutely sucker-punching you at the League), and that what it does add are just QoL updates found in pretty much every modern Pokemon game. It also just wasn't what I was hoping for in a DP remake, I was really hoping for an updated story and redesigns. ORAS was my gold standard for how they improved on characterization, and we've gotten character redesigns in every other remake. Maybe they didn't want to change designs because of Masters or whatever, but it just felt lazy.
Imo, it's really the only remake that's worse than the original third version: FRLG is dated now, but was mechanically better than any G1 game and had Sevii. I was never fond of the GO features in LGPE, but it still felt unique enough with the changes they made, plus it's the most beautiful Switch Pokemon game. HGSS added a fair amount of new features, a battle Frontier, and improved characterization for Silver. ORAS feels at least like it stands on par with Emerald, improves the Dex, really fleshes out the characters and story more, added Soaring, it felt like a pretty fair trade-off for what we lost. Still a bit salty no Battle Frontier when I was dabbling in competitive, but it's not a deal-breaker. With BDSP, the QoL changes, Legendary hunting, etc. are expected by now, so that mostly leaves story, which was pretty much untouched from the original DP. There's cool things like the expanded Underground and the Shadow Giratina battle, but it's not just enough to really salvage it in comparison to Platinum.
It was possibly even more glitchy than Scarlet and Violet were upon release, which was a big complaint for people at the time (tho people did abuse the glitchiness in a lot of funny ways or to speedrun the game).
It was the only Pokemon game I never actually bothered to finish, like, I think I only ever got up to the fifth badge. I just literally couldn't find enough to really enjoy or be invested in when Platinum exists and does the things I actually was interested about in DP better. Tho tbf, with it getting outsourced, it was clear it was never the main focus, and according to the Teraleak, was only pushed out in case PLA turned out to be unpopular with fans.

as a little treat i am sharing with you little Aya doodles I've done over the last few days to unwind ww just little expressions based on lines in-game because those are always fun to draw. nothing too special just biscuit
it's Aya because upon doing bizarrely throughout playthroughs of the game for still unspecified project purposes I've gained a soft spot for her she's my daughter now my mental tier list on my favorite characters is so confusing right now
#re:kinder#fanart#aya re:kinder#aya hibino#i state shes my daughter NOW because before i didnt pay too big of a mind to her#but honestly in each different playthrough of this game i gain new appreciation for each character#because fun fact ryou was my favorite character at first just because he seemed nice and was a healer and was nice#second playthrough brought in rei and shunsuke in my mind because they ate it up wirh their roles in the story#meanwhile as time passed yuuichi started to grow on me as i realized he was a little too relatable BASICALLY THINGS LIKE THAT#and spoilers for the unspecified project mentioned in the text just because i feel like it#i also did this because having a transcript of every line just spurred me on becquse of how easy it made things#its much more fun to start doing these kind of line based doodles when you dont have to manually go througj hours of gameplay to find stuff#so just being ablr to ctrl f through a document made me very glad HEUEHEHEBEHR#im still working on it it needs proofreading and polishing on some sides but overall it should be here soon i hope#if anyones interested in it do let me know HUEHEHEBRB i will post it regardless but it would be nice to know if anyone is interested#ANYWAY#as to why Aya seems to have a purse when her sprite doesnt its because her equipment mentions her carrying a yellow pouch#its meant to be that!!!#she looks very goofy with it on made me giggle ngl#(as in. amusement)#it adds more interest to her visual design so its nice to have it there im glad its there#OH YEAH SOME COMMENTARY ON ONE OF HER LINES HERE THAT REALLY PIQUED MY INTEREST#if sayaka dies and shes there to see it (thus. you chose to bring her with you) she has this line#where it implies that shes afraid of dying which makes things sad when she's suicidal#she already states i think her desire is more to disappear than to die exactly but even then it's quite sad#like even if she wants to disappear with how gloomy she's feeling and all the things going around with her parents#shes just a little girl who doesn't want to die😭😭#it really adds a sense of realism to how depression is tackled in game at least for me#that when one is depressed and suicidal a lot of the time it's the wish for this state of suffering to end rather than to actually die#SUCH A GOOD CHARACTER ITS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT UPPED MY APPRECIATION FOR HER

#he's so floppy recently and I hope it's just the heat. I think wamr weather makes everyone floppy and loungy#a beauntifulle boye...#cats#STILL working on posting some drafts. finishing new poll adventure.. other things... It's just hard with the weather and other things going#on. I've had a few more doctors appointments and other things to do recently that have to be done in a time limit#so I hvae to use my extremely limited energy working on that instead of doing the things I'd really rather do. :T#Main focuses though are keeping up better with doing and posting costumes + sculptures as main creative things. at least finishing the#main poll adventure story. Reworking the game I kind of abandoned for a few years. keeping up with game videos and a few other side things.#Especially the game though. I've been in a really worldbuildy mood recently. I just wish that was easier to manifest into something. I've#now put the worldbuilding slideshow reading video on pause for a while because it's SOOO long to do#and I think I should prioritize making games and stuff instead. but still other things. IT's just kind of like.. I have a whole world and#everything very built and planned out but now.. what do I do with it? what's the best way to share that? factual slideshows just going over#the information like a dictionary? make it into a game? write short stories? do art attached to the world? etc. etc. ?? There are so many#potential avenues I end up kind of flip flopping between them a lot because none really seem more beneficial than the others and they all#seem equally enjoyable and also equally hard so. It's like?? I guess just do what the hell ever and hope I made the right choice in terms o#cost benefit and reward for my time lol. ANYWAY.. Also why I'm in my 'trying to make friends' era still because I think having other creat#ive friends can help you find direction like.. people will meet each other and then go 'hey lol just for fun lets start a project together!#and then like 5 years later it's genuinely become something. etc. having other people to help weed out ideas and start small creative teams#together and etc. I feel is a very beneficial part of networking or whatever but also I have the social capacity of a stale bread roll and#am also inherently unrelatable to seemingly a majority of people due to my hermit wizard swag (detachment from general society and hyper#focus on fantasy worlds in my head gjhghj) so trying to meet people as a grown adult with social issues is Very easy and fun (it is not)#even very basic things like my core communication style is so incompatible with a lot of people it's like.. hhhh... People in this modern#age have GOT to stop being afraid of phone calls and/or text that is longer than 6 paragraphs. Work with me here. I WANT to talk to you. bu#I do not know what your emojis mean and it's physically impossible for me to type less than 85 sentences. please.. hhjgjgb#AAANYWAY!!

i played the remastered alan wake a while back and am replaying the original on steam, and, honestly, they’re so similar, I couldn’t tell which is which if you held up comparisons. ive come across reviews about the game looking outdated and bad (mostly compared to other releases in that time), but the original looks great and I like the hazy dark lighting for both this and awan
#might delete#I can’t wait to run into all the product placements#like yeah I know it’s not. top graphics of that year. but I’ve stopped and looked at the environment So many times. it’s pretty!#this is because im biased but I *loved* AWANs choice of scenery. although I wish it was as detailed and expansive as the original games#all of remedy’s games do pretty great in terms of the environment. ignore controls terrible map and the Oldest House is an incredible space#to navigate just by following signs and all the little details. the atmosphere!#don’t even need to explain how aw2 is good with that#but even Max Payne 1 has this beautiful eerie quality where everything is this fever dream of grungy or old environments#even before the literal nightmare sequence it felt like navigating a dream of this Not New York City. like of course it’s likely born from#the limitations the developers had when making it. but the emptiness and placement of npcs added to the experience#QB so far is my least favorite in its style and environment but it’s still had some good moments. the use of flashbacks + time overlapping#onto abandoned and destroyed environments was genius. the college campus itself and the train(?) cargo(?) area was neat to go through#there’s some really good stuff there! *im also. not done with QB so im still hoping things get more wild!!#im honestly more forgiving of QB as a whole and find it interesting since it went through a lot of hell in its development#this might seem negative but it’s not! it’s a shockingly beautiful game. graphics exceed expectations#the style and some locations is where it’s more boring for me. but still good. im so tempted to buy it on steam to finally finish it#endless apologies if u opened this and ur entire page opened up an essays worth of tags

I finally own decent heels and I want so badly to be able to use the newly acquired height to pin a cute girl against the wall and fluster her
#thoughts#oni talks#sapphic yearning#Oni thirsts#I am naturally 5’2 so it’s tough finding women shorter than me but!!!#with heels/wedges I’ve found new life!!! it’s been way more enjoyable than I even thought it would be to look down at people#like meeting girls recently and I’m taller and I get to look down on them instead of up!!! it’s so satisfying!!#there was this really cute girl at my local pride (our first pride ever!) and I wore some platform wedges and omfg it was so nice#I’m pretty sure in reality we’re the same height but bc of the shoes I got to be the hot taller lesbian instead and we traded a ton#of compliments! I was there with my bestie I hope she didn’t think he was my bf or smth#granted I have no idea if that was flirting or not? I tried to keep it lowkey since she was working a booth and didn’t wanna make her#like uncomfy but I still remember her saying smth like not like you need more compliments and omfg#screaming she was so pretty and she does art!!! raaaaah!!! I haven’t seen her since obviously but I hope she’s doing well wherever she is#also even today I went out in wedges and like?? the power of being taller I love it#also I love the versatility since I can take them off and be smol again whenever#or same height which is more likely I feel at least based on the people around I’ve met? it’s either that or people so tall that like#even with heels I’m unfortunately not taller than them#I was trying to find an image or video of the pinning thing to show to chat and I couldn’t & I cry#I wanna fluster a cute lady!!!#my tastes have changed a lot the last year or so

I'm not a "new musical theatre style music" person. Never have been.
Even when I was doing voice lessons, I'd steer towards the golden age or jazzy musical theatre songs. My voice teacher would have to drag me kicking and screaming towards adding anything new musical theatre to my repertoire. For a while, the most modern song in my book was I Know The Truth from Aida, and I wouldn't count that as new musical theatre style since I mean more the Pasek&Paul or Joe Iconis type.
And now I have an audition coming up for a small production of a show in that style and I'm supposed to sing a song in a similar style. And I'm looking at all my sheet music like... let me do some Cole Porter... or Gershwin... at least Sondheim please...
#look i do have SOME newer musicals in my book. but like i said. kicking and screaming.#i'm probably gonna end up doing 'I Think That He Likes Me' which is not IN a musical it's just new musical theatre style#as part of a songbook for some writing duo that i can't remember the name of and it's 2:45am so i can't care enough to look it up.#and it's the only one in my sheet music folder that i'm like 'ok. this is TRULY the right style' and i know it's good in my voice#and it's a cute song and i do like it and it definitely fits the overall vibe of the show#and though i haven't sung it in like 4 years i still remember 90% of the words and have time to study it before the audition#but while trying to find that song deep deep in my folder i pass by other songs i just love so much more#and i'm like ahhhhhhhh why#and i'm not even like 'god i hope i get it' (see A Chorus Line. that's more my type) i truly don't care if i'm cast or not#and yes i can technically audition with any song i could ever want it's just suggested to do the same style#but i know the entire creative panel who i'll be auditioning for and the last 2 times i auditioned for them i sang the same song#only because it's a GOOD song that fit both shows i was auditioning for (Can't Stop Talking About Him by Frank Loesser)#(perfect audition song since it's short at like 28 bars and you can pick the tempo and do a lot of character stuff)#(but see this is what i mean. like 1/3 of my entire sheet music folder is golden age musicals. then half is 60s-90s.)#(and then the last chunk are the few new-ish musical theatre and some pop music.)#(if i took performing more seriously i'd have a wider range but this is truly just for fun and just for me. so i do what i like.)#i don't want to go in for a 3rd audition with the same creative team and doing the same song. especially since it doesn't fit this time.#so once again. dragged kicking and screaming. over to new musical theatre territory. unwillingly.#if i get cast we'll have to see if the show itself even grows on me since honestly i think there's maybe 2 songs i like in it.#it's definitely not the worst new musical theatre style show but it's also not one that drew me in.#ok wait while looking through lists of 'new musical theatre' shows to find one i actually like (i think just Legally Blonde sorry guys)#(every other new musical in the last 20 years that i like did something interesting with the music like Come From Away)#i ended up finding out that apparently 13 was adapted into a netflix movie? when did that even happen?#i mean i don't care for that show either but i thought i was at least up to date on movie adaptations.

I think if they were to bring joker junior into the main thing it should be Duke
#like I keep seeing TikTok’s abt ppl wanting jj in main cont rn#and I generally disagree#mainly bc the tim Drake in the animated series was just Jason Todd with a new name#and I refuse to give him any more validity as ‘tim Drake’#or attribute anything he does or has gone through to Tim Drake#but that’s besides the point#IF they did do it I think it’d be a neat Duke plotline#like dukes entire character has been him being sure of who he is (or at least who he wants to be) and continuing to fight despite the odds#like his character has been about hope not just for himself but for others#I think a joker junior type plotline would fuck him up (lovingly)#and make him stronger yknow 😄 some character building#especially since it’s damn near the same trauma his parents went through#and idk I’m glad jokers dying down but he’s lost a lot of his oomph lately#which I am all for but IF they wanna bring him back as a big deal there we go#and that’s all my opinion actually#I think the last thing I read was the signal#I’m working through green arrow rn so if I joker did do some fucked up shit lately idk man#anyways yeah 😸#also I think it should be jason that finds him#and we can bring some steel back to him to I’m sick of those funky ass crowbars#fym Jason doesn’t kill anymore 💀#matter of fact jason should find Duke and kill joker#that’s 3 birds in one stone#for me personally#but neways

#i want to write this here… i am not a religious person… but after i had just moved and when i was depressed…which I was often then#less so these days…#i drove myself to get ice cream and i prayed along the way that i had made the right decision#to move out and start a new life and find this job#and i cried for a long while which i also seemed to do a lot then#and while i was driving back home i prayed… and i think i pray just in case someone is listening … just so they can’t say i never tried#at least someone might be listening to me#i asked god if they could show me a deer… which is a really stupid sign to ask for because i had never seen a deer close up#and i knew in my mind that i didn’t mean some vague outline of a deer on the horizon or some painting of a deer#and i don’t know why i asked for a deer at all#but i did and i had just gotten my license two months prior for this job… and i was driving on a street that was without anyone else…#which was really unusual for this tourist town in the summer but i was crying and driving and praying and it was dusk#and a deer wandered into the road…. just feet within me… and i wasn’t scared… i slowed down and I’m not sure how much time passed#but i cried and looked and wondered if i was so mentally ill i was hallucinating before the deer hobbled off to the field#and even if it’s stupid and highly conincidental… it made me feel better… and i think god is more of a whisper of hope that things will#change… and as the winter grows long… i am hungry for another sign that i am okay#i miss how simple life could be and I miss you

so, ao3 has made it opt-in to let your work be invited to collections
for some people this is really good! a lot of people were very concerned about an issue where your work could be made private by the owner of a collection this was in-- this was resolved a few months ago by adding notifications warning authors when this happened, so they could take their works out of those collections, but a lot of people didn't realise that change had been made or were unhappy that this would still leave works with inactive users vulnurable
historically, the default setting was automatically accept invites, and you could switch it so that you the author would have to review an invite before allowing your work could be added
with the new update, an 'invite to collections' button doesn't even appear on your work unless you go to your settings and add it. this means that anyone who does want to add you work to a collection has no way of letting you know that apart from maybe leaving a comment or trying to reach out to you on another platform!
a lot of people are pro this, since they don't really see a point to collections, but it's kind of a disappointment to people (like me!) who mostly navigate ao3 using them. collections are fantastic for people who have niche interests (i have an entire collection just for fic of characters practising witchcraft, because i think its fun, or for peggy sue fics, because not everyone tags them the same way) or rarely tagged-for triggers (there are a few fandoms im just jumping ship on if collections stop being widely used because the stuff i find triggering is just rampant), or just for when you really like a fic and want to find more like it!
bookmark collections are great, but they don't show up on the work-- so readers can't use them to find similar ones. they're great for giving warnings, or for your personal navigation, but they're not as helpful for those of us who use collections to find new works!
so, if you do want people to be able to let you know they want to add you to a collection, go check your preferences! your works cant be added to collections without your approval-- that setting seems to not exist at all any more.
for every work someone asks to add to a collection you should get a notification and the opportunity to approve it individually!
you'll find the new options in your preferences tab under Collections, Challenges and Gifts
#ao3#archive of our own#fanfiction#fanfic#collections#ao3 collections#bookmarks#ao3 bookmarks#bookmark collections#also thank you yvi for helping me edit my thoughts into coherency!#i totally get why some people like to just not have their works in collections#not interact with them at all etc#esp if youre a posting only kinda user and you dont rly deal with the interactions available#but i really hope people make themselves opt-in#also its a great way to help people find your fic!#if you want readers Let People Add You To Collections! new readers will come to you!#and also it keeps ao3 super accessible for people like me with rare triggers#noone is saying you have to use collections but if at least some people decide they want to it will be a better site for it#but also i do agree that the private collections thing was unbelievably frustrating#glad they fixed it but sad that it couldnt be made retroactive theres a lot of works still private bc people had stopped using that account#or didnt see the notif#i keep finding them in bookmarks like “something was here. someones restricted it for just them tho. sucks to be you”

webkinz next has captivated me with its awkward pets and functional friend features
#kinzposting#webkinz next#(check my prev post for the apple animations)#it's so much better than i expected#and a lot smaller (less features)#but i have also softlocked my main account on a challenge#and my side account (which i made to see the next part of that challenge) got softlocked on the challenge before that#both of the new features (apple collecting/bakery) are very buggy#i assume the bugs aren't part of their marketing but watching pets clip through tables and apples fall through the void behind my house#has definitely made me more likely to make an in-app purchase#shrug. i don't like the paid season pass system but i like that you CAN actually earn diamonds in-game#i hope they find a better balance soon#bc part of the appeal of Classic (right now at least) is that a new pet costs $4-5 in the estore#but on Next it's $15 (pet) or $8 (sparking) which is STEEP#i know there's a $12 bundle with a 'pet pick box' and a 'spark token'#if there was some way to earn a spark token (like via the paid season pass...?) that would be nice

love the way I have to talk to my grandma on the phone that is simultaneously “you suck and you’re mean to my mom and also mean to the rest of the family, and you’ve also purposefully isolated yourself from a lot of our family so that’s why no one wants to answer your calls” and “I love you so much and you mean the world to me and i’m desperately trying not to make this an abandoned connection, both individually and for the family”
#shhh sharkie#there’s some part of me that’s like.#if I can just get nonna to have an actual relationship with me#and let me drive her and pop-pop up to family functions#cause i’m on the way. i’m in maryland and they’re in delaware. they’re literally on the way for my various New England destinations.#but they’ve become extremely combative with the rest of the family#which maybe i’m stupidly hopeful but a lot of conflict would be stopped by talking about the issue face to face and not over texting#anyway have maybe laid the foundation to build some bridges but either way#her main concern was whether or not I was dating someone 😆#and if i would use my older sisters’s wedding to try to find someone#i very gently told her no on both accounts. told her i’ve got a lot going on. and also that a wedding is a terrible place to meet someone#also did tell her no i don’t meet anyone at weddings cause me and my two other queer siblings just gang up and vibe#not in those words but yknow#told her ‘yeah we all just end up hanging out and dancing and drinking together so we don’t even really have the opportunity’#as if the real scenario is who the fuck hooks up with a rando at a wedding. especially when it’s your own family.#like. no. no thank you.#i’m not saying i’d object if the situation were to happen but like#at least most weddings i’ve gone to there’s a chance i’m at least 50% related to anyone attending#i’m just gonna hang out with my other queer siblings and enjoy being with them. yknow?#sidebar cause i went back to edit other things in the post but like#the abandonment and isolation are fuel for radicalization#and yeah half of me is like ‘just cut her off’ but also#my presence on its own is radicalizing. so since i’m apparently the family member she still wants to talk to#it’s apparently my duty#Nonna is gonna be liberal if it breaks my fucking mind#at this pint with the Bullshit i’m on a Mission
