Ah, a selfie. only because I felt like re-introducing myself to whoever may be listening on tumblr.

Hi, I’m Danielle (my real name is Leslie).

I’m 31, she/they/them, biromantic asexual. I live in Oregon (born and raised), but I have lived in Washington state, North Dakota, and Colorado. I have 3 ridiculous cats (Tiberius, Princess, and Lucy). I live with my sister, her dog, and her five cats. I have two tattoos: one on my posterior left forearm that says "T'hy'la", and one on my anterior right forearm that is the Star Trek emblem and says "Anton" and "K.O."

I’ve been an RN for over ten years and am a chronic student - I have a master's degree and have held three professional nursing certifications at one time - oncology, blood and marrow transplant, hospice & palliative (I had to drop my palliative/hospice certification due to time and money - 100 continuing education credits are no joke!). I am in graduate school for the second time (grad school 2.0!), aiming to become an oncology/hematology nurse practitioner while obtaining my doctorate (Acute Care NP program, DNP). My passion is curing cancer. I want to work with blood cancers/stem cell transplantation. I currently work as needed as an Infusion RN, giving chemotherapy/immunotherapy to cancer patients.

I have anxiety, depression, and pre-diabetes with a side of hypothyroidism and acid reflux.

I love Star Wars, Star Trek, and MacGyver. I am obsessed with books, cats, Adam Driver, Chris Pine, and Lucas Till. I love to write fanfiction. I secretly (or not-so-secretly) want to marry Richard Maxwell (from AIO).

I am a non-practicing Seventh-Day Adventist who believes God is very real. I am a raging liberal, believe abortion is a fundamental right, along with freedom of ALL religions, let people marry whoever they love, and FFS end systemic racism and fight for equity for all. End the death penalty, utilize hospice and palliative care more, and embrace a culture of respect, understanding, and open-mindedness.

My favorite flower is a red rose. I am horrendously single. I spent $300 for a VIP ticket to see/meet NeedToBreathe this coming May (and don’t effing regret it!).

Favorite movies (in no specific order): Monster Trucks, Paterson, Star Wars the Last Jedi, Logan Lucky, Star Trek 2009, Star Trek Beyond, Tangled, Sailor Moon R the movie, Rise of the Guardians, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Thor, Third Star, Hell or High Water, Big Hero 6, and The Martian.

Favorite TV shows (in no specific order): MacGyver (2016), Star Trek Strange New Worlds, Star Trek Lower Decks, Firefly, Avatar the Last Airbender, Firefly, Brooklyn 99, Bob's Burgers, Prison Break, Leverage, Mythbusters, Pushing Daisies, and Chuck. Honorable mentions go to Star Trek TOS, CSI, CSI Miami, and CSI NY.

I am ever-evolving.

I am - a bit insane, a bit crazy, and always self-conscious and lack self-esteem. I have ridiculous social anxiety. I'm - me.

@anghraine Oh wait- okay so I always knew in my head that, even if the choice only matters for RP purposes because the game itself never references the race/gender/origins of the player character in a way that impacts the plotlines, that you play mostly human characters, so Hyur if you ever played XIV. And that of the two clan choices, Midlander is the generic from just about anywhere but the taller Highlander models are used mostly for Hyurs that originated from Ala Mhigo, the city state that had a geographical and political history of resource poor (except salt) highland in the center of the main trade route with the major cornerstone of their culture being their religious devotion to their patron deity and the fighting monks who also were deeply entrenched in their internal royal politics - the other major native DPS job being the magic rapier wielding class that does mostly spell-casting with a little bit of melee and some healing support. And that an extremely important main story element is how Ala Mhigo was conquered by the neighboring empire twenty years ago so there’s a sizeable Ala Mhigan diaspora and resistance movements and you’re helping out the factions and the political complications involved in the Base Game through multiple expansions. So, in my head, yeah, Elizabeth is an Ala Mhigan probably Red Mage. Visually the architecture and clothing is has elements of the Caucasus and Near Middle East to Western Steppe.

But! Elizabeth. I was thinking to myself how the equivalent race to the Charr in FF XIV are our Hrothgar, as our version of the fully cat-faced large and burly player race (who are based on FFX’s Ronso) as opposed to the less beastly more generic cat-earred race that is the most popular player race by far. And okay, the Hrothgar only have playable male options as of right now and we won’t get female options for Hrothgar until 7.0, the next expansion. But! the Hrothgar are not Charr, lorewise. Hilariously NOT. In fact, remembering what their lore was, I realized, omg what if. Because, okay that extremely expansionist imperialist religion-banning empire that conquered and subjugated Ala Mhigo? The empire ruled over by what are a Human subset without any magic and instead tech (unlike all other races) have been conquering a lot of places, trying to emulate the historical imperialistic high tech empire of Allag (The Romans to Garlemald’s Third Reich/Imperial Russia). And before they conquered Ala Mhigo, the other region that got the worst of their crimes -including the vaporizing of their capital city- and the country to whom we get extended plotlines about their preconquest, occupation, rebellion and rebuilding - is Bojza. Aka the main homeland of the Hrothgar. Whose naming structure is Slavic inspired and architecture is Mesopotamian. Where the city of Bojza had as its claim to fame being the holdout that resisted conquest from that original ‘Rome’, the only place to defeat Allag thanks to their queen. The Hrothgars whose ancestral weapon and combat style of gunblades was stolen and bastardized by the Garleans. Hrothgars who are explicitly set up as a matriarchal race, Bojza ruled by a queen with a council of priestesses. In fact the two sub-clan options of Hrothgars are divided up whether their clan has a matriarch or if she was lost (and the last names are the names of said matriarch). But they’re not a human race and I know you’d think Charr if see them.

[fatal-rewrites-warriors]

moonrise chapter 9

I will begrudgingly admit that it's cool that they're commenting on the cultural differences between the tribe and the clans--if only the clans had had different cultures between one another as well

I do think it wouldve been cool if they dove into the differences more though. or at least the subtler ones instead of the obvious ones. like stoneteller says that prey doesnt belong to them, it belongs to mountains--which is wildly different to the possessiveness that the clans have over their own prey, so that concept would be so completely foreign to the clan cats

dammit I came in here hating the tribe and I still do but some of the details are neat. I'll have to add in stuff like that for the groups that appear in rewrite tnp

also how cool would it be if because of a lack of out breeding the tribe cats only have black based pelts, and no red (esp cus red is brighter can get spotted more easily in the mountains)

yes I know red is not a colour a lot of animals can see but let me have this I'm p sure birds can see it and hawks are a pretty big deal in the mountains

I wish the religion had been different too. the tribe of endless hunting is literally just starclan with a different name

chapter 10

reason number 29294874747383874 that greystripe is a bad deputy: attacks the opposing clans deputy I'm the middle of peace talks

like I'm actually so enraged that this happened like. why. why. that's all I got. just why.

I...actually dont like cinderpelt. I dont like tnp cinderpelt.

also again why WOULDNT starclan send signs to the med cats??? this is ridiculous what the fuck are they there for. there is way too much secrecy for this to be how the clans would actually act. they're a community ffs

Langdon stops mid-attack and looks down at her, confused. Why does he look like a giant? Mallory tries to scurry away, but something trips her up and sends her down on her stomach. Her vision is obstructed by a mass of grey. Is that my dress?! She manages to free a limb, sees fur, and screams.

Oh God, oh God, holy shit!

She’s got hooves.

Mallory wriggles the rest of the way out of her fabric prison and spins in a tight circle, trying to see her body. She catches a glimpse of four stubby legs and reddish-brown fur with spots.

13 Questions Tag

I was tagged forever ago by @hellapainyo sorry I took so long to finally do this!

Are you named after anyone?

Kind of? Part of my name is similar to my mom’s, so I guess I’m kinda named after her. On another note though there is someone who’s named after me (I say) because the woman who babysat me as a little bitty kid her daughter named her oldest daughter with my name because she saw how my full name is spelled and she liked it

2. When was the last time you cried?

Like lowkey cried while watching the season finale of Stranger Things 3, but the last time I legitimately cried was one of my first days at work when I had that like anxiety attack and just started actually sobbing and then I’m pretty sure I cried more on the way home and then while I was in the shower and then when I got in bed and slept for the rest of the day. That was a bad day, but honestly very therapeutic since I don’t cry much

3. Do you have kids?

Definitely not and there’s a pregnant girl at work and pretty much all these things she keeps saying I’m like.... I really don’t know about ever having a kid, but of course if I’m with the right person I’d probably be fine with having one, but the idea of giving birth ever scares me and the idea of having this little life fully dependent on me terrifies me like so much can go wrong

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

I think I use it more than people realize.

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

As I’m very short, I usually notice people’s like general height? Like I gravitate toward other short people, medium height (or normal height) people I’m just like okay with, and then I feel so intimidated by tall people

6. What’s your eye color?

I say hazel, my mom says brown, but when I look in the mirror my eyes are definitely greenish brownish

7. Scary movie or happy ending?

I love watching scary movies but I’m also a sucker for happy endings, so if it can somehow be both I’m very happy

8. Any special talents?

I don’t think so? That’s super like... sad to say that, but I can’t really think of anything I do that would be considered a special talent unless laziness and procrastination count

9. Do you have any pets?

No :( right now I am catsitting for a friend though so it’s almost like having pets, they’re two cute cats, both of them are old ladies who look grumpy quite often but just want to be petted and talked to

10. What sports do you play/have played in?

akdskdjsne I’m sorry my answers are all so boring, but I never played sports except kickball at recess which definitely doesn’t count, and other things that were mandatory in PE classes, I’m definitely less of like a physical outdoorsy person than an indoor kind of club person so in elementary school I was in this religion club (which I wasn’t even really into at that point I just went because a few girls in the class went after school and there were snacks so I was there too) and then I did yearbook and Spanish club in high school, and then in college I did (very briefly) Spanish club and then worked on a student publication and interned for a small literary magazine based on campus

11. How tall are you?

Teeny tiny 4’11

12. Favorite subject in school?

I always liked English/Literature because of reading and writing (but not grammar, I hate grammar because I’m bad at keeping past tense and present tense where they’re supposed to be, plus my dad always corrects me on other grammar errors). But I also really like history, I find it all very interesting to learn about these things so in college in addition to the English classes I was taking, I took like world history and Hellenistic History, Art history from the prehistoric up to around like the 1200s? maybe as late as the 1500s? I definitely like more of the “liberal arts” kind of classes, but also I’ve got a very curious mind so most classes where I was actually being taught something interesting I really liked.

13. Dream Job?

Writing has kinda always been a dream of mine, specifically writing stories that are fiction not journalism or anything else like that. Like I remember being very young and writing this story about mice that lived in a hollowed our pumpkin in a pumpkin patch until a cat attacked, and I still have that story written down somewhere, and I haven’t really stopped writing stories since then. I went from just like imagining little stories of random characters to Harry Potter fanfics, Twilight ff briefly, then jumped into like One Direction and 5sos and then dive headfirst into kpop with bts and pentagon and got7 and of course as you all know NCT. I’ve written stuff outside of fanfiction over the years of course, done stuff for nanowrimo (nothing ever completed though) and I took creative writing classes where I had to have short stories to turn in, one of which was published in that student publication I mentioned earlier (although I still don’t have a copy of it which I’m sad about). Sometimes I think it would be fun to be a screenwriter but I don’t even know where to start with that I don’t know how to write a script. But writing has always been a dream job for me. I always felt like if that doesn’t work out I can fall back on like working as a librarian or in a bookstore, just something with books because I love getting lost in other worlds if only for a few hundred pages or so

I tag: @amoreyong @9taeils @vernon-van-chwe @yoonohnct @nctatnightnight but if you’ve already done it or just don’t want to then obviously ignore this

[thefallenofbajhiri]

LFRP/LFC - Toshinaku

Toshinaku ‘Bajhiri’ (Toshi)

The Basics ––– –

Former Name: Sozoh’a Bajhiri

Age: Appears to be between the age of 26 and 28, true age is unknown. (Possibly Immortal)

Gender: Male (He/Him/His Pronouns)

Sexuality: Homosexual, Panromantic

Marital Status: Single, Not Seeking

Physical Appearance ––– –

Hair: Long, Feathered and drapes down the length of his back to the base of his tail. Usually left down but will sometimes be tied up into an elegant high ponytail/braided combo. Hair is the color of a rich burgundy that sometimes has a purple shimmer or shine to it in the right lighting and it holds a dark purple hue at the tips for highlights.

Eyes: His eyes match his hair with a deep burgundy colored iris that gets absorbed into the lavender color of the limbal ring around it. His eyes seem to glow with the way the Limbal ring sticks out due to the bright color. Toshi also has slitted pupils like that of a cat.

Height: Extremely tall for an Au Ra standing at an intimidating Eight Foot Nine Inches (8′9)

Build: Mesomorph build, Toshinaku’s body is muscular and well built for his habits and lifestyle which includes dancing and entertaining those who seek out his company in the bedroom. One would describe him as having abs for days with arms that are toned, arms that look as though they could crush a skull if he got the person into a headlock. It has also been mentioned that his legs are quite the sight and many would be envious and want to have such elegant toned legs, his legs however do stand out and look as if they are out of place... as though they should not be there at all.

Distinguishing Marks: The most distinguishing features on Toshinaku’s form are the various sigils that mark it. The biggest of these sigils being the ones on his back and chest with the one on his chest covering up the majority of his breast and stomach while the one on his back starts from the base of his neck and goes down to just above his tail. These sigils lock away the three forms that he has (True Form which is the Lamia/Naga, Cerberus esque form and a Voidal Dragon form). He has various other sigils on his body alongside these and they all seem to give off a rather interesting aether for those who are Aether Sensitive. Other markings include a floral like pattern on his forehead that is a burgundy-purple shade to match his hair and several Keeper like markings along the ridge of his nose, eyes and stripes on his cheeks.

Common Accessories: Hidden away in his silken shawl is a Golden Chain necklace that has three bone arrow charms on it. Each one is a different size with varying adornments attached to it and each one has an engravement on it that ties to a name. The first is for his deceased sister Sizah, which is the least decorated of the three. The second for his former companion Sebha’to Bajhiri which Toshi had altered to better fit his friends desires. And the last for Una’a (Nyr) Bajhiri, who was his greatest inspiration and role model and someone that he looked up to before he changed to what he is now. Toshi also wears a variety of golden jewelry on his form so that he can attract attention when he needs to.

Personal ––– –

Profession: Master Alchemist and Engineer though he rarely tinkers in Engineering these days and mostly focuses on the Alchemy. His Alchemy is primarily focused on genetics and genetic altering properties which has lead to him being a chemical creator that will alter a beings appearance/genetic code, conjures up his own personal Fantasias. Belly Dancer and Entertainer in Ul’dah, Male Prostitute.

Hobbies: Singing (In private, usually lullabies that his mother sung to him), Dancing, Being an absolute asshole, Killing Things which is not good, Various other things that may or may not be considered hobbies.

Languages: Common and Huntspeak (Miqo’te), he also can understand Voidsent and various other races. Toshi has the tendency to roll his R’s and draw out his S’s when he is extremely angered or his emotions are getting the better of him, so he sounds like a purring snake.

Residence: Nomadic however he has a somewhat permanent room in The Hourglass in Ul’dah. 

Birthplace: What is now known as ‘The Dead Forest’, a large forested area deep in the North Shroud close to the borders of Coerthas.

Religion: N/A

Patron Deity: If asked he will say that he does not have a Patron Deity but before his change it was Menphina.

Fears: Toshi doesn’t openly discuss his fears and many would think that he actually doesn’t have any fears because of how well he hides them. His biggest fear, which he does his best to keep hidden, is losing those that have returned to him in some way and also losing those he has somehow managed to make friends with recently. With his other fear being attached or close to others and showing emotions that he once buried away again.

Relationships ––– -

Spouse: N/A

Children: N/A

Parents: Sozoh Bajhiri (Deceased, Keeper of the Moon), Isuh’a Vethe (Unknown, Thought to be a Keeper, in reality was Cuchulainn)

Siblings: Sizah (Eldest, Deceased), Rosah (Older, Deceased), Vekhe and Zahveh (Twins, Younger, Deceased)

Other Relatives: Various other members of the Bajhiri Clan

Pets: Various Voidal ‘pets’ including a Beady Eye that he has named Kuso (AKA Shit), all of which are lucky that he hasn’t just killed them yet to use their parts for his Alchemy.

Additional information ––– –

Smoking Habit: Overall Toshi doesn’t really smoke, he has little reason to do so and generally avoids it. Drugs: While Toshi does work with various chemicals and such he is not really the sort to do any actual drugs so to speak. Alcohol: Social for the most part, he’ll drink with company but that’s about it since for him a lot of things that work on mortals don’t really work for him all that much.

RP Hooks ––– –

Voidsent in Disguise - Toshinaku is a Voidsent in 'disguise' for the most part. His Aether can give it away easily for anyone who is sensitive to such things or those who can easily see Aether. While he doesn’t truly try and hide what he is, Toshi will generally be cryptic and give ‘hints’ as to what he could be. For those who are sensitive to Aether they will likely also be able to note that the Sigils on his body are the reason for his current form and likely pick up on the fact that they were done by a White Mage. Recently however these sigils have started to change and are actually feeding on his Aether and showing signs of ‘Light’ contamination.

Formerly of the Bajhiri Clan - Not much is known about how Toshi became what he is today, he has kept the Clan Name for whatever reason and was once a Keeper of the Bajhiri clan. Any Bajhiri's out there might be wondering what the heck this Au Ra is doing with their clan name and are certain to ask questions. They might also have heard of someone who went by the name of Sozoh'a and how his entire clan just 'vanished' one day, various ghost stories have sprung up due to the ‘Dead Forest’ which is where he once lived. Toshi’s Mother Sozoh was also an extremely social character and paid visits to most of the other Bajhiri clans within the Shroud and Coerthas, she also helped as a bit of a Midwife of sorts and helped with kits being born. 

Sigils and The Cursed Form - All of Toshinaku's forms have been sealed away from him through an array of seals and sigils that spance his entire body. The most notable ones being on his back and chest as they cover the entirety of the area. All of these seals appear to have been burnt into his body and then filled with a strange ink. He is seeking a way to break this seal so that he can be free.

Personal Entertainer and Belly Dancer in Ul’dah - One has to make money somehow and Toshinaku has had to learn how to adapt to this world and to make a living somehow. While he does make a good bit of money from his Alchemy and more specifically the Fantasias that he ‘sells’ where he truly shines is his ways as being a personal entertainer for people. He is very skilled at Belly Dancing and even better with the more... provocative side of things. One can easily find him in Limsa Lominsa or Ul'dah performing and might even have heard of him at one point or another because he is good at what he does.

Suggestions? - Have any Suggestions? I am always open to ideas! I am pretty much always open to just about any type of RP be it simple slice of life kind of things to the more dark and violent side of things. Ask and we'll see if we can hash something out! Do keep in mind that a lot of Toshi’s content is generally Dark Theme’d with elements of Horror in it. While he can certainly be fun and entertaining a lot of his content is dark and usually for mature audiences overall.

Contact Information/About the Mun  ––– –

* Currently my Main Blog is ToxicCreed which is where my Asks and Follows will come from. My Main, Multi-Muse tumblr for FFXIV is @thedarkestdragonknight​. I try and keep things to each of the blogs but I will reblog content from Toshi’s to my main FF blog from time to time.

* I love to Roleplay however I am an extremely shy person with severe anxieties and various other bad brain gremlins that make it hard for me to interact. I have a lot of experience with RP and for the most part have been doing so ever since the days of NeonDragonArt’s forums which is where I started out and I was roughly 13-14 years old back then and I am now 32 years old. Needless to say, I’ve been around and I have likely seen it ‘all’ for the most part and I will not be stopping any time soon though I do have those lulls where I will take a break and come back to it.

* For the most part my schedule is ALL over the place and I am generally online whenever I happen to be awake. Most of the time the easiest way to contact me is through DM’s on Tumblr and I’ll generally see them when I am up as I am constantly ‘surfing’ the tumbles. 

* I suffer from a lot of sleep problems and generally am a bit of a ‘night owl’ so to speak. I tend to sleep throughout the day and am generally awake anywhere from 1pm-6pm and am usually up all night because of it. Again, if you want to contact me you are free to shoot me a DM on here since that is the easiest form of contact for me as I keep my Discord fairly private.

* I live on the East Coast and my Timezone is EST/EDT. Again my schedule varies so you are likely to catch me at any point throughout the day.

* I tend to prefer Ask Prompts for starters or just RPing on tumblr in general as it is by far the easiest for me to do. I am more than willing to do other RPs such as In-Game and the like but overall, Tumblr is the best for me in regards to actual Roleplays. Discord RP is reserved for very close friends.

What I’m Looking For ––– –

Overall I’m pretty much open to a variety of RPs and generally open to anything that anyone is willing to do. What I am looking for in regards to Toshi is for the most part various interactions with a variety of people. Please note that overall Toshi’s themes are very dark and theme’d around horror so he’s not exactly everyone’s cup of tea so to speak. You can get a general idea for many of his interactions by looking at his Socialization page and checking out the tags there which have various RPs with my wonderful friends. You can also check out the various writing that I have done for the FFXIV 2019 Writing though do keep in mind that these have a lot of DARK content with a lot of Horror elements that include graphic gore, etc. 

Toshi is a bit of a mixed bag of tricks and while I do prefer the Dark content that I put out with him overall please know that I am willing to do more than just that. With a lot of his recent RPs he has developed a bit of a ‘softer’ side towards some people so you could be lucky and find him having a fairly ‘good’ day so to speak. Overall, it’s whatever you are comfortable with and whatever you would like to do! I am open to many things and pretty much just want to have fun and share this boy with others who would enjoy seeing him.

Some things that do interest me are the potentials that could come from Toshi running into a Sin Eater/Lightwarden, people from the first, generally things involving Light, etc.

I'm Standing on a Million Lives - Vol. 11

Aw maan, now I gotta wait until March 2022 for the next volume! I wonder how many volumes there will be in total. It's a little daunting when series are just open-ended like that. Will I still be reading a decade from now or something? The pace is pretty slow, but now that they have revealed that they've encountered 3 out of 5 dragons, maybe that's an indication of how much plot we have left. Time will tell.

I'm not loving this arc. I think what may be missing is that there's less interaction with NPCs this time around which hurts the world building a little. The new NPCS introduced are pretty forgettable too. (Also, no cute girls, I'm just now realizing lol. Bold move).

Ch. 50

-Oh man, I really like Habaki. He's just my type and very relatable. This chapter was from his POV and he talked about his lonely life and had a headache the whole chapter. I was like "MOOD" cuz I've never dated and get migraines all the time lol. I'm a little creeped out by his crush on Yuka, but it seems innocent enough.

-The 2-page split with the dragon looked so cool on my ereader! They did a really good job at portraying a terrifyingly strong monster in a shocking way (revealing everyone dead abruptly).

-Felt really happy for both Yuka and Habaki that they have a fellow otaku in the party to nerd out with. It kinda sucks being surrounded by normies all the time.

-We get some world building for the blacksmith town. I like the simplicity of the nobles living on the top tier and the rookie blacksmith at the bottom. It was also cool to hear about the religion, though I felt like its mention was kind of a non-sequitur

Ch. 51

-Lol everyone's so mean to Habaki :'( I feel like that would be my spot in the isekai party. Must protecc

-The more it's said, the more I feel like "black humanoid" was a terrible translation choice. It's just too questionable sounding...

-So far the baddies in this arc are pretty boring, even with the plot twist at the end of this chapter. They're just like "Mwahaha look how evil and sinister we are!"

-I kind of thought Iu, Yuka and Keita would be revived fairly quickly but then I remembered how digestion works. I wonder if this was a purposeful strategy to cut the cast in half for easier storytelling.

-Kinda weird that they specify what happened to Cantil and Malita but not Fatina. I thought they were kind of a unit? Oh well, glad Fatina's not dead.

Ch. 52

-BIG KITTY! This chapter definitely gets points for the cat sith (I googled this species and apparently it's from Celtic folklore? Made popular by FF VII though). It gave me Kirara from Inuyasha vibes

-The triangle comment where Yusuke is awkwardly being pursued at a distance by Malita and the sorcerer's apprentice made me chuckle. Malita's turned into a monster waifu lol. I doubt she'll physically turn back to normal, but maybe mentally? We'll see...

-Cathean monk dude is pretty badass. His design looks like something out of a Chinese period drama.

Ch. 53

-The Cathean religion is pretty neat and kind of reminds me of Shintoism. Asian religions always seem so much more chill and approachable than western ones lol

-We get some commentary about the widening wage gap as Habaki relates his old life to the lives of the blacksmith. It's nice to have Habaki's defeatist, downtrodden adult attitude juxtaposed with Yusuke's "I can do anything" middle schooler attitude. Hopefully Habaki can catch a break

-Glenda helping Habaki and Kusue level up was cute. I like it when they mix in some more mundane, day-to-day stuff that's more adjacent to the main mission

-The exploitative rich dude with a B. name. Couldn't help but think of Jeff Bezos.

-Not sure the logic with treating Malita like a dog really holds up. I get that her brain isn't all there but...why does that instill her with an instinct to play fetch? lol

Ch. 54

-More interesting development of Habaki's character. LOVED Glenda's psychoanalytic response and shutting down Yusuke's nonsense when they were discussing Habaki's lack of motivation. I really relate to him...like a lot. It's funny, he's more like a typical isekai protagonist than Yusuke is.

-They're gonna go to Disneyland :'D (The WcDonald's version lol). That motivation would totally work on me.

-Habaki really can't catch a break. He finally tries to do something heroic and gets shut down...ouch

-We find out that fantasy Jeff Bezos isn't the Dragon priest (OR IS HE!?) Also, apparently there are only 5 dragons in this world which makes them feel more epic and boss-battley

“A girl is born to be nothing more than a girl, A daughter is born to be nothing more than dutiful, A woman is born to be nothing more than a lover, A warrior is made to be nothing more than an instrument of fate. I was a girl, a daughter, a woman, a warrior; I was all these things, but not for long. Nothing is ever permanent.” (poem x, gif set x) 

The air was quiet. The bronzen leaves on the trees bathed in the sun’s light. People from all over the Holy Land, Ziva once again amongst them, found locations like this one to put their young saplings into the earth, all to honor their prematurely departed loved ones, which due to the state of living in a war zone was not an infrequent occurrence. A mixture of copper dirt and golden sand painted the canvas of the land like a sea of rusted and shining pennies.

Pin-pointing a spot where only the rich soil remained, she took her carry-on pack off her shoulder. It camouflaged with the beige ground and she might have lost it had her life not been an endless exercise in sifting the sands of her homeland for identity, heritage and duty; she was adept at finding that which was invisible to the eye. Opening it, Ziva lifted the small plant out of the bag and sat it down next to her carefully. Then she reached for the shovel. Taking a moment to compose herself and keeping the bile that crept up her throat at bay, she turned the polished wood of the tool’s handle crafted for her by her surrogate father over in her soft and supple hands. Then, as the trained marksman she was, she delivered the swift and deeply penetrating stab to her earthly victim. She began to dig.

The sun seared her back as she worked crouched down and balanced on her knees. The palms of her hands sank into the dirt rapidly, the earth underneath her could have easily been mistaken for quicksand. It seemed like only seconds of scooping out loose sediment until she was done. She wanted it to be longer, wanted this aperture to be large enough to bury the feelings of regret, remorse and the memories that kept coming back to her after that night she had spent cradling her father’s lifeless body in her shaking arms. But her skin was burning, and no abyss would be deep enough to bury her sins. Just like her hands in the sand, they would raise back to the surface.

Grabbing the plant a little too forcefully and placing it in its new home, she loosely covered it back up with dirt and leaned back to admire her handiwork. A bent leaf made her grit her teeth in frustration. But starting over would only delay the journey she was so keen on getting over. With nimble fingers she adjusted the leaf. It would have to do. The sentiment was all too familiar: She had planted the same olive tree for Tali. She had not planted one for Ari though. In retrospect Ziva was satisfied with this decision. Her father and brother’s lingering spirits represented as intertwined tree branches may have caused droughts or floods to the entire city of Tel Aviv. She wondered now though if they were at peace.

This notion had her look out to the horizon as if her answer would be written out for her in the clouds, or in the bristle of leaves or a dove’s song.

But no sign came.

Ziva was exhausted and if her stone demeanor did not betray her, the residue concealer underneath dark eyes did. She wondered how she must have looked that day after it had happened; how disheveled she must have appeared in Beth El Synagogue; hair a mess of curls tied up into a haphazardly done knot, face ashen, colorless lips, and heart and head as foolish as she was now, searching for what exactly? Signs? Hope? A reason to keep believing? She should have known her signs never came in daylight. They came to her at night when sleep finally claimed her and she was forced back into a world of mares. Visions of Somalia returned, along with the very real stench of sweat and cigarette smoke; torturers that vaguely resembled men. But the bloodstained blades were easier to forget than solitude.

She saw them all come back to her in her dreams, escaping the rooms in her mind she would not open, their locks now unlatched. Their names should have been etched on the walls of her prison, facing her, reminding her of all the wrongs she had done. But she did not want to remember. She would never give their names the physical shape of letters scraped onto concrete walls, stones in sliced fingers, stones that could bring back the last words as clear as on the day they were spoken. The conversations played out in vermillion italics in front of her.

The one person she did not expect rammed right into the barricade of her memory. A girl, not yet a warrior, too young to be dutiful or to even understand what that word meant; not even a woman, just a child. “Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made you out of clay,” a sing-song voice hummed. Clay not yet molded into a solid silhouetted sculpture, but soft, malleable. The girl she had once been came to her as a reflection in a bowl of dirty water; a reflection that was not yet bruised and bloodied, but already stained with desert dirt.

This was the nightmare that came back to her after her father had died. It were not the countless hands that grabbed for her, that tried to steal her dignity, but mourning for a girl who had loved her father, who had looked up to him with pride. That girl would not have been ashamed of the cold sweats that had dampened Tony’s cotton sheets that night at his apartment, bunching them tightly with white knuckles as her body bolted upright, reacting on instinct, and very nearly delivering a left hook to her partner. Fortunately Tony had caught the flailing hand.

She tried to ignore the nagging feeling that troubled her in her sleep, trying to get her to remember who she had been. At her father’s funeral it had been clearer than ever that she had abandoned her home. Men and women, some of which she had never seen before, lining up to greet her, giving her rote condolences and words of assurance. “He really did love you”, “You made him proud, you know.” Ziva thought she may as well have been on display in a circus: the daughter who had come back only to bury her father out of obligation. She was sure that was what most of them thought. She was the daughter who had renounced her ties to Israel.

The daughter of a dead man.

The sympathies felt like being suffocated in a dress too small. The only way to alleviate the pressure was to tear it with her bare hands. But she didn’t know if she tore it for religion, which had fallen onto deaf ears for many years, or for something else. There was no rhyme or reason to dying, regardless of what small comfort tradition brought. Good or bad, it was completely out of your hands. The irony of this was that she had scoffed at tradition and stormed out on her father and Director Vance and his wife like an insolent child. Later it had provided her with the much needed comfort. She should have been inside the house. She should have died. Like a reckless cat she had already used up most of her nine lives, but the Malach, the angel, kept her breathing.

Her eyes fixated upon a patch of skin that was riddled with fine lines of scars long faded. She would not let an ounce of guilt seep out of these vertical lines, however. This responsibility to her father and his death had been paid in full three summers ago.

‘Your sins are too great,’ she had said to him during one of their last encounters.

The burning Yahrzeit candle which she had lit the night of his death had mirrored the Shabbat nerot on the evening which seemed like a lifetime ago, in her father’s house. The house she thought she would leave forever after resting Shiva.

Shiva and Shabbat: the blessing and the curse.

Every Friday night when it was her turn to pray, her father would mouth he words with her, silently, letting her nine year old self work them out on her own. Her mother would be the one to light the Yahrzeit with her in remembrance of a lost relative. “It is rebirth, Ziva. They are not lost. They start anew. We send them off with our love, and we treasure the time we have had. Do not cry, motek. Death is not a curse.”

Her tiny hands, held in her mother’s, chanting soft prayers that were recited in Tali’s velvet voice years later when their mother’s lips would no longer open to speak them. The sweet songs reverberated throughout their home, ingrained there. Ziva still heard them when she was there.

A chill crept up her spine, a strange sensation in the desert heat. She sunk back into the ground, her resolve slowly breaking, the last of adrenaline evaporating in the summer sun, suddenly overcome with longing and nostalgia.

It became too much, but Ziva had to make a choice: conquer, or let it consume her.

And the latter was not an option for a warrior’s heart such as her own. She took a moment to say her goodbyes to the tree and then pushed herself out of the sand. She shouldered the bag, which without the weight of her father’s spirit felt a lot lighter, and took the first step of a journey into the past so that she could continue with her future once it was over.

Persona 5- or how I learned to love high school

Aight, I’m back buttfuckers, long time no see. 2017 has been one hell of a year for me gaming wise, and that’s one of the reasons I haven’t written shit in like six months. I bet my massive amount of readers have missed me, and the bots of Tumblr even more so. The reason I’m making a post after all this time is not only because I’m procrastrinating, but aso because I wanna highlight one of the many games I’ve had a fucking crush on this year, and that game is Persona 5.

Let’s start by ranting about how much high school sucks. You got so  little freedom, studying sucks ass, girls are ignoring you and your throbbing, rejected dick and don’t even get me started on parents, those bastards always making sure you’re alive, keeping you fed and putting up with a miserable piece of shit like yourself. On the surface that sounds like a recipe for middle age suicide, but deep within that shit lies the Metaverse: the world fo the collective subconsciousness. And it’s here where I’ll start talking about the game itself.

Persona 5 takes place on the streets of Tokyo, behind a school bench and in the collective subconsciousness Carl Jung rambled about. You take the role as a teenager on parole for a crime he didn’t commit. You live above a café. You’ve got a bed, some junk and a cellphone with a strange app on it, called the Metanav. Despite numerous attempts on deleting the malware, you give up and get to know another teen, join up with him, a talking cat and a hot fucking gal to make a P.E. teacher confess to his crimes. How though? Well, simple: You break into his mind palace and crush his spirit, or “take his heart”, as the game puts it. The taking of hearts is done through typical JRPG turn-based combat. Did I say typical? Fuck that! Check below to see the amazing fucking battle screen.

You see? Now compare that to a Final Fantasy game of your choice and try to tell me that FF is worth two shits, I dare you.

And the cascade of pure awesomeness doesn’t stop there! Because school is actually fun! You get to date girls, seduce them, show off your knowledge and try to get into the teachers’ panties. That’s what kept me going through this game. I wanted to score with the teacher, and when I “failed”... I realized that I fucking loved this game. The battles, the characters, the dialogue, the voice acting (even though I played through the second half of the game with japanese voices, the english voice acting is pure quality if you ask me)... The aesthetics of the game is like Quentin Tarantino went... I dont know, gothic? The cell in which you fuse personas (see next paragraph) is dark and brutal, and when you fuse personas you literally fucking execute them with a guillotine, chainsaws and electric chairs. And then you go back to the real world and visit a maid café to increase your charm and kindness (improving your social stats is a huge part of the game, and not just in order to get laid).

About the namesake: Personas are “demons” you can recruit throughout the game to aid you in battle. You equip different personas to use different elemental attacks, give you resistances and stuff. It’s a bit like Pokémon, if Pokémon had the ability to tell you to fuck off instead of just running away like a faggot. The personas are based on folklore, mythology and religion. You can equip everything from Satan, christian archangels, hindu deities, samurai to fucking Thor. When you’ve recruited different personas, you can fuse them and get a new, sometimes more powerful persona. This is one of the most addictive features of the game since the personas can inherit skills, resistances and what not you’ll be fusing the shit out of personas to create the ultimate motherfucker.

So, I’m aware this was a weirdy structured text... But fuck you. I love this game and the only thing that sucks about it is mementos and Yusuke. I’ll be posting more shit, hopefully posts with better structure than this one, about games I’ve fucking loved this year (like Sundered, Steamworld dig 2 etc.,) and games I’ve fucking hated (Bravely Default...). Meanwhile, glad to be back and all that. Sorry for the lack of structure and the long departure.

             On the last day of July, our class started its season of demo teaching.  This is a wise way to enhance our capabilities in speaking in front of people and also our training ground.  Of course, every beginning starts with the basics.  As we start this semester, Ms. Claire already handed us the outline and gave everyone in our class the lessons to be discussed.  

             So on the 31st, we had our 1st batch of demo teaching which, as what I’ve said before, started with one of the basics of the English language… NOUNS.  

             To properly start off, let’s begin with the common lesson under nouns. 

             Giving the meaning of Proper Nouns, it simply specifies the names of people, places, and things.  

People’s names

·       Tyler Knott Gregson

·       Alexander

·       Sally

·       Mr. Burnand

·       Aunt Georgina

·       Mrs. Heussaff

·       Uncle Erwan

The names of countries and their capital cities

·       China | Beijing

·       Japan | Tokyo

·       Great Britain | London

·       Italy | Rome

| I am longing to go to Norway to see the northern lights.

| Skylark just discovered a new café called Barkin’ Blends, wherein you can also play with dogs.

             As to the Common Nouns, it specifies the names of people, places, or things in GENERAL.

Persons | children teacher, scientist, mailman, woman, parent, doctor, girl

Animals | lion, ants, tigers, cheetah, sheep, elephants, birds, mice

Places | street, hills, beach, metropolis, city, mountain, river, province

Things | trains, battleship, tree, lichen, music, radio, plant, milk

Ideas | love, ideology, loyalty, fulfillment, patriotism, religion, peace

             From my classmate’s discussion, every proper noun has an equivalent common noun, but it doesn’t mean that every common noun has a proper noun.  Also, Common Nouns only begin with a capital letter if it is placed at the beginning of a sentence while in Proper Nouns, obviously, always start with a capital letter.  

Take note peeps:

             There are times when a word can either be used as a common noun or proper noun and you might get confused as to when you should use the capitalized form.  For example, let’s say, father.  This can either be a common and proper noun.  To get this straight, if common nouns are used as a title or name, that’s the time to make it capitalized, as it takes the place of actual names.

             Now that we’ve already defined what are the proper and common uses of specifying nouns, let’s move on to classifying its purpose. You may question a ‘word’ like, “What is its role?”  “Does it have a purpose?” “Is this word used in a singular or plural form?” “What can be an alternative to make it singular/plural?”  These questions will be answered if you keep on scrolling down (lol).  

In this section, you will learn if a word deserves to be counted or not.  

Let me introduce to you, Countable and Uncountable Nouns! (*applause)

             Countable Nouns are said to be referring to the things that can be counted and with the use of a/an, the, numbers, some/many (if the word is in plural form), many, few/a few, and how many?  They can either be singular or plural. 

a/an | a pen

the | the page

numbers | three babies

some/any (if the word is in plural form) | There are some pastel shirts in the cabinet.

many | There are many YouTubers at the event.

few/a few | There are few seats.

how many? | How many babies do you want?

             Uncountable Nouns are said to be referring to immaterial concepts like love, life, etc.  Also, these nouns are referring to stuff or liquid that cannot be counted like water, sugar, and salt (etc.).  These words are always in singular form.  It can be used with some/any, much, little/a little, and how much.

some/any | There is some blood in the tube.  | There isn’t any chocolates on the tray.  Note: a/an or numbers can’t be used before these words.

much | There isn’t much salt in my fries.

little/a little | They know a little French.

how much | How much do you need?

             Let’s give way to an important part of Uncountable words, the Partitives. Uncountable nouns can be quantified by using partitives, as to refer to a part of a whole. Here are some examples:

o   A glass of water

o   A piece of cheese

o   A loaf of bread

o   A cup of coffee

o   An item of news

o   A bar of soap

             To the nouns that are perceived by the senses and name it as something you can see, hear, touch, smell or taste, it falls under Concrete Noun.  These include people, animals, places, and objects.

People | speech pathologist, lady, Tiarra

Animals | puppy, fish, tiger

Places | Notre Dame, beach

Objects | cupcake, keys, fruit, tea

             To the nouns that we cannot hear, smell, touch, or taste, or should I say intangible things, it falls under Abstract Noun.  They are usually actions, events, ideas, states of mind, feelings.

Actions and events | childhood, October, Friday, war

Ideas | energy, freedom, luck

Conditions | cancer, flu, cold

Feelings | anger, doubt

             Let’s proceed to classify what a ‘word/noun’ is. Knowing its stand in a given sentence.  This was further discussed in Material Noun.  It is the name given to the material substance or things made up of an alloy.  Nouns in this class are almost materials like cloth, air, metal, gold, salt, iron, silver, etc.

Sample sentences:

Cotton dresses are very cheap and comfortable.    

I bought a gold ring for my mother’s birthday.

Calcium is a good mineral for health.

Plastic is made up of many molecules of ethylene.

Material Noun has 4 categories namely, Material nouns from nature, from animals, from plants, and man-made.

Material nouns from nature | water, silver, iron, sand, rock, rain, salt, air, gold, copper, coal, sunlight, earth, etc.

Material nouns from animals | egg, honey, silk, wool, meat, milk, leather, etc.

Material nouns from plants | cotton, oil, jute, medicine, rubber, food, wood, coffee, tea, perfume, etc.

Man-made material nouns | acid, asphalt, cement, chalk, cheese, ebony, felt, paraffin, alcohol, etc.

Of course, we still have rules in using these nouns.  In general, articles such as a, an or the, are not used with material nouns if those are uncountable like:

·      Honey is wholesome food and beneficial to health.

·      Water boils only at 100°C temperature.

On the other hand, articles may be used with material nouns if those are countable such as:

·         I would like to eat a Dutch cheese.

·         It is a very healthy wine.

Use of ‘the’ and ‘some’ can also be done in the following way:

·         The honey in the bottle is mine.

·         I saw there is some milk in the glass.

             After knowing the stand of a noun in a sentence, giving importance to its gender is truly appreciated.  Gender-specific Nouns got your back.  It refers specifically to a male or a female.  When a noun’s meaning makes its gender masculine or feminine, it is considered to be a gender-specific noun.  Gender-specific nouns will give you four types: Masculine Gender, Feminine Gender, Common Gender and Neuter Gender.

Masculine Gender denotes a MALE SEX. These are words for men, boys and male animals. Dad | bull | drake | ram | boar

Feminine Gender denotes a FEMALE SEX.  These are words for women, girls and female animals. actress | waitress | vixen | bitch | sow

Common Gender denotes either a male or a female. soldier | student | cat | whale

Neuter Gender denotes a lifeless thing. It denotes a thing that is neither male nor female. book | pen | room | tree

Note these words, peeps.

Masculine                           Feminine   Father                                      Mother Son                                          Daughter Man                                          Woman Emperor                                   Empress Bachelor                                   Spinster

Animal       Masculine        Feminine Goose          Gander               Goose Fox               Fox                     Vixen Pig                Boar                   Sow Horse           Stallion                Mare Donkey         Jack                    Jenny

Masculine                            Feminine Boy                                           Girl Dog                                           Bitch King                                          Queen Monk                                         Nun Drake                                        Duck
