i heart people arguing

[dollypopup]

y'all can all cancel me (again) for this, but if there's even a SHRED of 'who should I pick?' from Penelope in season 3, I am tuning out SO fast because like. . .sorry not sorry, there IS no choice. Debling is some crusty OC suitor she barely even knows and Colin is a man who she has been so supposedly in love with to the point where she'd ruin her entire family's reputation to have a potential love story with him. Penelope and Colin have background, years of knowing each other, intimacy that few people in the Ton can boast of having (letters, conversations about purpose, fights and arguments and makeups) and her and Debling have. . .a dance or two at a ball because he's a rebound for Penelope's broken heart. he means nothing. he has no nuance, he has no weight to the story, he is such an afterthought to me. either I wanna see Penelope going 'you know what? I don't even LIKE this dude. he's. . .fine, but I don't care about him even a shred as much as I care about Colin' or the INSTANT Colin's like 'you know what? we should get married' if it's not an immediate 'say less, you're already my husband, try returning me without the receipt, Debling whomst?' then I don't want it!

like. . .it's just so frustrating to see all the 'I hope Debling sweeps her off her feet and she rejects Colin's proposal and she makes him work for it and and and-' nonsense from the fandom and it's always tagged and no matter how many times I block it, it just keeps popping up. I go into the Polin tag for POLIN. I don't give a SHIT about a male love interest other than Colin. Not one. Not a shred. Not an iota.

and also. . .Debling has the 'benefit' of not having depth, or character traits, or HISTORY, so peeps can project onto him however they want, but I'm calling it now, there is NOTHING he could do or be that would make me like him more than Colin. Colin will always hit different, and I will always love him more. and if Pen's not on that same page? lol bye

you want me to believe Penelope and Colin are soulmates and it's romance for her to hem and haw about how difficult a decision it is for her to marry a stranger who knows barely anything about her. . .

when Marina was out here dropping banger lines like 'You were the only man with which I could see myself being happy' and 'I do not care about any of these men, where is Colin?'? like hello??? and she wasn't even fully in love with him!!!! but we'll demonize her until the cows come home in our fandom and make her the villain in Polin's love story for DARING to get in between Polin, yet Debling, a white man, is a darling dear perfect prince for getting in between Polin? existing in our fandom solely so Penelope can be like 'lol, Colin ain't shit, let me entertain any and everyone else'?

if that's the direction it goes then, ten toes down and on my mama, she doesn't deserve Colin and she can move because I'm on my way to court him my damn self

and that's that on that

IS3 thoughts

Aiight so once again, no one asked for this so ofc I’m gonna share my opinions (story spoiler free) on the newest Integrated Strategies incarnation!

I’ve completed every ending with every squad and gotten all the collectibles already, which went MUCH faster than IS2. But as I continue to play through all the difficulty levels (yes I’m a masochist) I expect some of these thoughts to change.

OKAY LEGGO:

Best Rejection - Concentration Disorder

As a proud AFKnights kind of Doctor, I willingly subject my entire squad to this so I don’t have to think 😂

Worst Rejection - Metastatic Aberration

This can be a run-ender if it hits your cornerstone Operators 😩

Best Enlightenment - Leithanien’s Elegance

It was a toss up between this and Victoria’s Honor but since ranged units are always squishy this one gives a higher advantage

Worst Enlightenment - Columbia’s Inspiration

What am I supposed to do with a funky lil 70 bonus exp on one battle only?? 😒

Best Starting Squad - People-Oriented Squad

Having everyone cost one less Hope to recruit is kinda OP, ngl

Worst Starting Squad - Spearhead Squad

Fuck this squad forever. 🤬 The stat bonuses aren’t good enough to subject yourself to the pain of losing light on default every time you battle

Best Call of We Many - Echoes: Predation

Okay so, I am one of the few that loved Survivalist hallucinations in IS2 so yeah the ASPD boost will always win for me even if your Medics be healing like 27 HP at a time… but you don’t need to heal if you murk everything fast enough!

Worst Call of We Many - Echoes: Adaptation

When you tryna get a certain Encounter or Battle but you can’t fucking see the nodes in front of you is PEAK annoyance

Best good relic - Chivalric Commandments - New Addition

Nothing is beating the ASPD boost endorphins, sorry 🤷🏽‍♀️

Worst good relic - Sui’s Wrath

If you disagree you have never had this relic and attempted to complete Ubi bona somnia 🥲

Easiest 3rd floor boss - Course Correction

Just get you some carpet bomber DPS or a reaper guard to stall this mfkr and his lil minions; when you beat him all the hellspawns die and you are left with easy stage completion

Worst 3rd floor boss - Eternal Wrath

Saint Iberia only has one shot, but he will wipe your entire party if you don’t murk him before he comes around the bend, especially if you don’t have a fast redeploy to get rid of the radar people

Hardest battle node - Out of Control (Emergency)

Straight cancer. 😭 You gotta park everyone up at the blue boxes and pray you somehow survive the first half of the stage with all them running enraged Sarkaz fucks. Honorable mention - Ubi bona somnia (Emergency) cause WHYYYY are there two Origitant mutants here???

Easiest endgame node - Curse of Cognition

Very straightforward stage, especially if you can stun the boss to where it falls down and your melee Operators can curb stomp it

Hardest endgame node - Fate’s Favored Child

I guess since BSL in IS2 happened, the 2nd ending boss is always gonna be terribly fucking annoying. Freezing Operators each attack they do??? Straight up running to the exit in second phase and can only be hit by ranged units??? The mobs?? FUCK YOU

Hardest Encounter Battle - Business Empire?

Ngl I have not reliably beat this stage yet without major leaks because holy shit I wasn’t prepared to fight all three side characters at once! It also pops up very rarely for me due to RNG so I don’t get much practice either

Hardest relic to get - Last Refrain

Don’t talk to me about this stupid thing; I have done over 100 runs I swear and I only got this Encounter ONCE and that was after I had already gotten all endings multiple times over and my light was at like 10 or something on the run

Best improvement over IS2 - easier to unlock different ending events

There were SO MANY runs I did in IS2 that didn’t pan out because I only got one encounter out of the two I needed to open up the 3rd or 4th endings. This does not happen to me in IS3

Worst “improvement” over IS2 - not enough Encounter nodes

It’s cool to have Wonderland stuff or Dispatches or Tulip Commissions but I think the ratio is kinda off. If you’re tryna get all the relics this can be annoying cause you’ll only have a handful of Encounter modes to aim for per run

What I miss from IS2 that ain’t make it into IS3 - Shadow relic

I absolutely loved getting this relic and trying to build a squad full of nothing but temp recruitments, cause it’s not only a way to try out Operators you may not own, it makes it fun to figure out strats with the most random but maxed out group of Operators ever

Goated Operators (very subjective and general):

Goldenglow (nothing is beating her global range and relic synergy)

Horn (just her s1 alone will clear maps)

Flametail (synergy with relics that increase attack upon dodge)

Texas the Ometerosa (she trivializes most of this content especially with relics)

Pozemyoka (want to beat the 3rd ending boss in 8 seconds right from stage start? She’s your girl)

Gnosis (freezing flying Seaborn will ground them and it’s so funny to watch)

Lappland (her silence is goated, we learned this during the Stultivera Navis event)

Whisperain & Lumen (you are gonna need that status resistance especially if you are fighting The Last Knight)

Mulberry (she has higher elemental damage recovery than Honeyberry who was the MVP of IS2)

Blue Poison (her S1, especially if mastered, is unmatched. Even better than Exu)

Jaye (you will not fear the Water & Fire Union stage if you have him)

Thorns (ironically I don’t choose him UNLESS I can quickly E2 him because he’s mid without access to his S3)

Highmore (she doesn’t beat La Pluma in anything EXCEPT IS3, and I always start a run with her cause her 3-block is delicious)

You should 100% give us some favorite color palettes you like working with in your art!!!!!

this is SUCH a fun question bc it made me realize i am a LITTLE! ALL OVER THE PLACE LOL

i very obviously like working with black and red but i’m actually gonna take this time to point out that i picked up a Signature Thing after looking at a particular artist’s portfolio: my lineart in almost All of my pieces is not black, but is actually a Super Dark Purple

there’s something about it that really scratches the brain, and on some of my Bigger pieces (like ‘holy roller’) the background is that Same dark purple.

the color palette for that piece (the dark purple, black, and that off white) was pulled from that same artist [it’s nicholas ruffilo, the bassist for bad omens], the same with the technique where the color extends out of the lineart to prevent it from blending into the dark bg.

besides that i don’t have like …. specific palettes, but a lot of my color inspo for Music Derived pieces i often color pick from the album the song is on. in ‘holy roller’, the rosary bead colors are From “eternal blue”, ‘jaded’ was colorpicked from the single cover, and ‘reprise’ had her colors taken from the self-titled album cover. it’s my way of further tying the art to their songs!

[youhavereachedtheendofpie]

that tag about the the third best thing a man can do is the dishes launched me right back to my ex not washing a goddamn dish and the incandescent rage i felt about it. i never knew what rage was until then. i realize i may have unresolved issues surrounding this lmao.

No but you were definitely right because it's not about the dishes. It's about the lack of consideration. It's about the gendered expectations. It's about men being socialized to prioritise their own laziness over their partner.

Not so fun fact: unequal distribution of domestic labour was one of the contributing factors of my parents' divorce. Not the main or only one, but definitely up there. And then my mother turned around and married a dude who does even less? My father is by no means perfect but at least he cooks. And you replace him with a guy who has never used a pan or pot or broom or mop or vacuum? Come the fuck on, how is this an improvement?

[earlyspringtranscendence]

Smth that I always come back to in the pee Nureyev experience is like. My view on Peter and Mags relationship and how I disagree with like 99% of the fanon interpretation of it (and also perhaps the canon starting in S4) (and so will ignore it henceforth) like Mag is . Nice. He's nice. I fucking know he lied to peets ok but he also like killed Mag so it evens out but it's heart wrenching to hear the audio when they're duping that New Kinshasa woman and they laugh so raucously (AND FREELY!!!! WHEN HAVE U EVER HEARD PEE SO FREE...) and well it's like. They love eachother . Kinda all I even have to say about that. I refuse to believe that Mag was a bad parent beyond the usual bad parenting of someone who isn't by any means ready or even nec willing to be a parent beforehand, but like anything that extends beyond that is so depressing to me... There's strength in numbers, even on Brahma, and pee used to have that with Mag. and anyway you cant take that away from me im putting my fingers in my ears and yelling if u try to reason w me GOODNIGHT & GOODBYE
