#but its a waste to use it to fight

Kaeya had always been an efficient and hard-working individual (he had to be to support Diluc in the background as his brother rose thru the ranks after all).

He has so much free time because he completes all his work way ahead of schedule. And if he still has enough time, he adds more to the workload in secret.

And once all of that was done and over with, he makes time for everyone. He has to. He feels as if every moment has to be given to someone else.

No one knows how he does it. No one has to know.

Every mission has a dozen strategies in line, and every battle plan is made with efficiency in mind. His perfect record will not be tarnished. He can't risk it (even if it baffles others that he would willingly activate a ruin guard just to prevent a failed mission. Jean disagrees with his methods, but Kaeya can say that the results say otherwise)

He needs to be quick.

Efficient.

Perfect.

And so he comes and goes like the wind.

Kaeya values time because he knew every second counted. He can't just stand there as if he were frozen. Time could run out in an instant.

Kaeya had only been late once his entire life.

He'd rather he never be late ever again.

It took one day of being of being imperfect for everything to fall apart. On that tragic day...had he gotten there on time... then maybe...

.

.

.

" Come on, let's get moving, traveler. We're not frozen in place after all. " Kaeya teasingly says. He stiffles a giggle at the traveler's exhasperated sigh.

"Yeah yeah, we've heard enough of you calling us a slacker. Can't you be a bit more patient?" Paimon whines at him.

Kaeya snorts, but acquiesces, hiding the shaking of his hands at the thought of being idle.

He imagines hearing a clock ticking.

Kaeya knows that that is his own problem. He tries his hardest to relax as he waits for the traveler to finish whatever they're making on the alchemy table because, seriously, it is supposed to be a relaxing day. There's nothing major going on, and his schedule is once again empty as intended. What's the hurry?

Kaeya taps his foot on the ground as he waits. He wishes he could take his own damn advice when he tells others to relax.

the fact that we did not get Richie or Carmy calling each other cousin even ONCE in season 3 is all you really need to know. not a single instance of the word cousin even found in the present day of the entire season, The Bear showrunners when I catch you!!!!!

[balsee]

that scene of ekko and jinx fighting on the bridge is such a masterful piece of storytelling and animation that it really makes me want an episode focusing on the two of them in season two. at most, i'd love to see some flashbacks of jinx living with silco and ekko trying his best to bring her back until their friendship eventually dissolves into what it is now.

this was gonna be a reblog but i decided to not ruin the op's fun:

5e counterspell is lame and unfun

[hecksupremechips]

My madoka magica hot take is I like sayaka/kyoko as a ship more than madoka/homura

[zexonyte]

yeah i made him a fish lookin thang whatcha gonna do about it

[dravidious]

Making a level 0 Lancer character just to try it out and I wanted to make a kinda support character, so I ended up with a playstyle that does stuff like using Lock On to support allies, and also placing drones and using tech attacks. When it came time to pick my weapons, I realized I probably won't actually be shooting them too often, so weapons that require reloading won't have that much of a downside.

And that's how my support character ended up wielding a pair of Missile Racks and a Superheavy Cyclone Pulse Rifle.

Happy Valentine’s Day, here is my probably controversial ship tier list in no particular order

I LOVE SUIKODEN SOOOO FUCKING MUCH

[blightingtrees]

i have too many thoughts and im chewing glass

i just think it would have been cool if soto had stuck with the shady wizard cult fuckery that was being set up in the first update instead of instantly dropping every thread to go play demonland rebellion for eight million years. it feels like.

What's up with the fucking eternal fractal torture islands? What's up with Lyhr and everything that happened in the Skywatch meta? WHAT about the ward member that just straight up fucking left, and left behind a bunch of extremely suspicious letters?! Why is Isgarren..........just why is Isgarren?

I can't help but imagine a SOTO where we stayed with the Ward and like, actually went further into that. Imagine if we actually got to know the characters! Learn more about them, who they are, about the things they've done, maybe got invested in them! And then, if we uncovered some dark secret! Something that destabilized the Ward, splits people - people we now know - up. Maybe set us against Isgarren - or hey, maybe with him! Maybe - even though he's shady and we're kind of morally opposed - things set up so that we are on the same side, ultimately! either could be neat! And then, at the end, Peitha, who's been sneaking in her little comments here and there (and imagine if people finding out we had a demon in our had had any time to have a meaningful effect!!), finally shows up! Maybe gives us some answers to questions raised during this hypothetical what-if. And then we have the lead in to the next expansion, in demonland! Imagine!!!!

IMAGINE IF IT WAS GOOD AUUUUUUUURRRGGHGHGHGHGHGHG!!!!!!!!

lmao checking the j7/janeway x seven tag and finding hate post? *instant block*

i mean listen, you wanna talk about how much you hate a ship? sure thing, no one is stopping you. in fact I talk about shit I hate all the time. and yes that anon is stupid to send you a msg that you shouldn’t talk something you dislike, but you posting that ask and tag j7 just because you’re being petty? well... I respect your pettiness but you tainting my ship tag page is a big no no 

[wakanai]

ok random thoughts. but like

yk that bsd hate acc that's going around hating people and *clearly* has some sort of problem?

yeah i think people should just.. not engage w them. cause honestly attention is what they feast on. they hate on random ppl and get attention from that and that's what keeps them going. like idk if its their coping mechanism or what not (it prob is tbh) but interacting w them is not helping cuz its only feeding what they're looking for in the first place TT

pretty sure they're doing those comments (on purpose). like they know they're going to receive hate but they keep doing it anywy cuz it's what gives them attention/its what they're used to/what keeps them going in the first place.

[my-current-obsession]

I see a lot of people saying that the royals (mostly Alfred, but I’ve seen a fair bit of complaining about all the others too) are statistically bad in Engage. I have to wonder, what difficulty is this based off of? On my Hard playthrough most of the royals were my best units, and Alfred in particular was amazing. Ivy and Celine were probably the weakest two - Ivy due to being a bit slow and having AWFUL dex and luck, and Celine just lacking power due to splitting her attention between strength and magic.

Is it just Maddening that they’re specifically bad for? I have not (and will not) played that mode in any FE but my impression is very much that Maddening mode is a different experience and you’re basically forced to play a certain way to win. That’s probably even more true here since fixed growths are in play, so you can’t count on RNG to give you good units. You have to find the ones that the game wants you to use, and stick with them.

For me, one of the biggest joys of FE has always been the RNG of it all - I love the random growths meaning different characters shine (and suck) each run, which encourages you to give different units a try. I love that, at least on Normal and Hard, you have enough breathing room to basically play how you want - favor the units of your choice, reclass whoever into whichever classes you fancy, etc - and doing so MIGHT make your life harder but probably won’t doom your entire run. The versatility and random nature of your units growths makes strategy & combat in this game infinitely more appealing and adds to its replayability.

Like I LOVE Persona games and Stella Glow (which gameplay wise is fairly similar to FE) but in those games the characters are what they are, and the stats on level-up are set in stone. Once you’ve done ONE run and know what works, Complacent Gaming kicks in and you repeat the exact same steps in future runs. In FE even if you use the same characters in the same classes, their performance WILL vary based on how blessed or cursed the RNG has been for them.

If Maddening IS as difficult and particular as I’m assuming, and basically every unit’s viability is determined from the moment you get them and you HAVE to play a specific way to win... is it really right to judge units based on that specific difficulty? Like, sure, so-and-so SUCKS on Maddening, but so does EVERYONE except this specific handful of units and if you use anyone else you’re just hurting yourself.

I feel like we should be judging characters based off a difficulty where everyone is at least VIABLE from the beginning, but judging how likely they are to REMAIN that way based on their growths/classes/personal skills/etc.

To put it another way, what would a tier list of a Maddening run look like? My impression is that it has two, maybe 3 categories of who you can actually use, who gets benched immediately, and MAYBE a middle category of who exists to fill a spot on the team and take a few hits/deal a smidge of damage for just a little while until someone better comes along to replace them. Meanwhile on Normal and Hard you can have a full spectrum of who on average is statistically the best through the worst, with everything in between. And considering several “unusable” units on Maddening are at least GOOD or even better on a normal or hard run, can you really call them bad? At the very least CLARIFY you mean they’re bad on Maddening specifically instead of in general.
