I wish there were more FE ROM hack fans on Tumblr. It's so cool what people are doing in the fangame scene but I don't see enough people talking about them outside of like, the community itself and the few YouTubers I watch who play FE hacks. I just want more people I can talk about Two Milkmen Go Comedy with.

Finished reading Keen-Edge, Silver Blade, and I feel like it made the Silverash timeline way too tight. I was always under impression that Ensia was fairly young when her parents died, and Enciodes took care of his sisters for quite a while. But if you do the math, it was only about a year, and therefore Ensia was almost old enough to be considered an adult by Kjerag's standards.

Break the Ice happens in the end of 1097 (Rhodes Island is en route to Victoria, and there are multiple prayers for the next year throughout BI). We learn there that Mom and Dad Silverash died 15 years ago (1082). But in the manga (set in the autumn of 1089) it is mentioned that Enciodes went to study in Victoria 6 years ago (1083). So this means that Ensia came of age somewhere between 1082 and 1083, and, considering her birthday is the 28th of November, it was probably 1082, the same year her parents died.

You are going to leave Kjerag next year, stop being so dramatic.

Things I Wish I knew living on my own

This is gonna be pretty short at the moment (I'll add more later) because I haven't been living on my own for very long and I think there's still plenty that I still have to figure out. I'm also drunk as I write this so this might be rambling.

This is gonna be chock full of really obvious stuff for most people but stuff that really confused or stressed me out when I did it. It's also gonna have that obvious stuff that's not so obvious because no one really talks about it until you are on your own and you haven't the first idea how to start.

First things first. Money. You're gonna need it, so look up a bank that is in your area and look into the process of setting up an account. Some banks have this online, sometimes you need to walk into the bank and do it in person. In both cases, make sure you have a passport, birth certificate, or other ID on you, as literally everything you know about your financial state prior to this. Ask your parents if you need to, or someone who knows this, because they are gonna ask a lot of questions. Once you've got the account set up make sure to confirm your ID. I set up an account online, and since I forgot to do this step, I have now had my account deactivated and I need to start all over again. Don't be like me.

If you're in a foreign country like me, make sure you understand how the currency works, and set up a method to transfer funds without having to pay the tax every time. Set up an app like Wise or something similar so people can transfer you money and you can move it to your bank account. Make sure you have a rough idea of how much something is worth in each currency. I'm still adjusting to using pounds, and things would look really cheap until I realized that a pound is worth slightly more than a dollar.

Services. I mean stuff like wifi and tv and stuff. If you're a student, than your wifi is fine, just make sure you set it up right. Euroroam is a bitch, so make sure you google how to do it right and just follow it step by step. Ask for help. Just ask someone. I'm so serious. Another thing I'm struggling with is TV. In the UK you have to have a license for BBC iplayer. Don't listen to your British friends when they say you don't need it. You do. If you don't have it you will get prosecuted. I don't wanna get prosecuted. It's super easy, even if it's kinda expensive, and hey, you get access to everything BBC. Just google tvl.co.uk and something will turn up. You can use that super handy bank card you got when you signed up for the bank account.

Transport. buses, trains and shit. First of all, make sure you download all the apps and inform yourself on how they work. It's gonna be confusing especially if your an American country hick like me so nows the time to learn. Get the maps. Get the bus schedules and routes. Pin them on your wall. Also, There's often some super cool discounts you can get if you sign up. Where I am in Scotland at the moment there's such a thing as a YoungScot Card, where you can get bus fair free if you're under 22. If you're not in Scotland, chances are there is something like that if you look. Transport can add up. Don't get Uber or a Taxi unless it's your only option, in which case, GET THE UBER. It's better to pay a butload of money for transport than be stranded somewhere alone. Your safety is more important than money.

Printers. You will need them. Often, there will be documents that you need to sign on paper, and so a printer will be needed. Google places where you can get things printed. If you are a student, make figuring out how to print things at your campus library a priority. I'm about to invest in my own printer just so I can skip this process because it's exhausting.

Voting. Just because you're not in your own country, doesn't mean you shouldn't vote. I'm from America, and care very much about the results of the next presidential election. If you're already registered to vote, try and get an absentee ballot.

Which brings me to mail. Get some stamps, and make sure they are the right ones. There will be postcard stamps, and mail stamps, and international stamps. Get the international letter stamps for your ballot and put them on because mailing is not paid for outside of the US. Then fucking mail it! (I'm swearing at myself so I remember to do this part when I'm sober)

Phone number. You will need a new one. Get an Esim card (should be in your settings if you have an iPhone) Make sure your friends have your new number and test it out to make sure it works when you're in a new country. One thing about Europe, is that the old buildings really suck for phone reception. Also, if you want to make this simpler and can't remember numbers very well, use Whatsapp or Instagram to message people.

Mess. You may go into this with certain ideas of granduer when it comes to personal organization. Be real. You won't be any more organized or tidy on your own than you were with other people. Just make sure that the essentials are accounted for and forgive yourself for the rest. Keep a drawer or a basket for all that important shit like bank statements or that letter that says they're opening an investigation because you haven't bought a tv license so it's all in one place and you don't lose anything. If it's urgent, pin it on your wall (get a bulletin board for this). Do your laundry. If you have your own washing machine and dryer, good for you. I don't, so figure out how the system works with the communal washers and get on that. Once again ask for help. Wash your sheets. Wash your pillowcases. WASH YOURSELF.

Hygiene. I hate it too, but it will make you feel better about yourself if you are clean and your teeth are brushed. This is the first thing to go when you feel in a slump. I know. I hate showers. I hate brushing my teeth, but not doing it makes my self-esteem go down the drain and my depression goes on a victory lap. Just do it. If you can't do anything else on this list, or you feel like everything is too overwhelming, do this. It will make a lot of other things feel doable.

Food. Okay, scratch that. This might be the most important thing. I am currently making a late night dinner of dried mangos and wine because I didn't have the motivation do get dinner tonight which is a prime example of what not to do. Because now I'm drunk and hungry. Get a fucking fridge! Get a microwave! Go to the grocery store and buy food. Even if it's ramen or mac and cheese. At least it's food. At this point, don't worry about eating healthy, just eat. Since I'm not allowed a mini fridge or a microwave, I have to time my meals so I get into the dining hall on time which results in this... So if you're in a similar case, set alarms for meal times, and GO TO THEM! If you miss it. Find a place that has cheap takeout that you will eat as a fall back option.

Groceries. Find a grocery store that has the things you need, and see what kind of membership or regular discounts you can get. You will need it. Don't worry about buying too much food, or buying too much junk food. If you're gonna overspend on something, better it be this and not something else. Eventually, you will get a sense of what you actually like to eat and what you don't. But for now, don't be afraid to buy something just to try it because it might become your new favorite food. Make a running list on your phone of what you need to buy and don't worry about overbuying. If you buy something you don't eat or don't want, give it away! Your neighbors or classmates or friends might want it and food is always a good way to meet people and form connections. At my old school, I became known as the one who would always have a bag of storebought cookies on me in class if anyone was hungry and didn't have any other options. I was proud of that reputation.

Don't restrict your space. It can get easy to walk the same path every day, and never venture outside of the area you know well. But every so often, try and use that bus pass you got, and go a little further afield. Just wander. You don't have to have a goal. Just explore. Living in a new place is the perfect time to do this. I recently ended up in a random church just because the gate was unlocked and the door was open. I ended up accidentally eavesdropping on a late night discussion of eleventh-century catholic manuscripts or something I can't remember and came home with a pamphlet for the catholic church I'm never going to join but it was an experience. Make awkward conversations with the people you haven't met before because maybe you'll end up crushing really hard for her even though she's straight and has a boyfriend and you'll spend the next week hopelessly pining but at least it will be something to mark the passing of time, creeping at this petty pace from day to day. Maybe the way she describes how she's learning to dissect cadavers and the way her eyebrows tilt will inspire you.

It's okay to be lonely. It's hard to adjust to living in a new place. Especially if you're a student at a new school. It may feel like everyone is making friends but you. That may be true. You may find that your neighbor has already met a guy and they are really cute together, and they no longer really want to hang out with you. You may find that the person you connected with really well now longer remembers your name but that's okay. It is a superpower, knowing how to be comfortable on your own. It's something you must learn before you can make a lasting connection with anyone. Those people who are making friends so fast are doing it because they are afraid to be alone. You aren't afraid.

Don't overcomit. Sometimes, you might feel so guilty about not donating to a freind's program to help survivers of domestic abuse in africa that you offer to design a website for them. But yuu're swamped. You have three essays due next week and you need to have an opinion about Homer's portrayal of Ithaka and you're terrified every second you spend not working on your essays, so that yiu ccan't relax even during breaks because you're constantly thinking you're behind but now you have to design a website. Don't fucking do that, What were yoy thinking you fuckin idiot. Just give your freind the money and tell her you can't do it.

Keep in touch with people. Don't fall off the map. There are people you love who are still out there. Your gramma wants to know how you're doing so give them a call, but not when you're drunk that will just make her anxious. Call your freinds from your old school. Ask them how they're doing. When tey tell you they're going on a date be happy for them and don't think bout how single you are. Fuck.

Invest in your projects. Don't forget what you love. Join that Good Omens fanfiction group even though it's one of the few things that you're not obligated to do. Don;t forget your hobbies. Watch the thing that David Tennent was in even though you don't have any prior interest in true crime and watch yourself fall into another spiral of hyperfixation.

Read Shakespeare. Relate so hard. Spend an inordinate amount of time memorizing the Yoric soliquiy from Hamlet. Spend a fortune on tickets to see David Tennent play Macbeth in the west end. Let it be your light. The only thing you are looking forward too at the moment.

You'e on your forth glass of wine. You havent neber been this drunk before becuse you are a syupid American who has just moved to the Uk unserpivused. and you're stressing about exams. You were supposed to be working.

Goodbye!

Dunking on fictional losermen is fun and all but if you make it ooc then what is even the point. Mocking qualities you just made up that have no real basis in canon is dumb. At this point just make an oc with these qualities and make fun of them instead

Recently saw a post in the Adam Taurus tag (an exercise in patience, that tag) that claimed that the signs of Adam not actually caring for the Faunus cause start as early as the Black Trailer. Their evidence?

Blake: What about the crew members?

Adam: What about them?

They proposed that the lack of concern Adam felt for the SDC crew whilst knowing that Faunus were often employed against their will meant he always put his revenge above the needs of the Faunus

Let me tell you, my jaw dropped at the stupidity

The way they went on, you'd think he was about to kill a small nation's worth of SDC workers, but like.

Babe.

It's a cargo train. Their skeleton crew barely has bones

According to the Association of American Railroads, the standard practice is a two-person crew, a locomotive engineer and a conductor, but it's not uncommon to have a crew of one. It would undoubtedly suck to be one of those guys if Adam had succeeded, but it's not the unbridled massacre people seem to think it is

As for the Faunus angle, I highly doubt any slave would be given the skills of either of those positions, much less left in charge of who knows how much lien's worth of name brand products, so no danger of accidentally eliminating the unfortunate kin there. Had they been Faunus that did join the SDC of their own volition, then they's be SOL just like the humans

I'm so tired of people making shit up or blowing things out of proportion to justify their Adam hate

Surge's character confuses me, one time she has finally awareness of the fact that she's been mind controlled which is the reason why she's a bad person in the first.

But on one hand she'd rather fight Sonic than, y'know, fucking Starline.

Which got me to hate her in all honesty, cause if she actually is that aware then she should be tackling the problem, but instead, we have to sit and read of her being a complete moron for maiming the wrong person ( while yes, Sonic is somewhat at fault for what happened to her, but again, it all happened just to make Sonic a stupid walking pacifist when in canon he's actually far more good of a judge than that ).

Flynn could've just made her a villain with a different alterior motives, instead of having to shoehorn a problem that should never have existed just so it could flanderize Sonic even more.

Cause fuck this 'It's Sonic's fault for being a pacifist' bullshit.

Perhaps I'm looking too deeply into this, but I think the idea behind Surge is precisely this: she is aware that she is programmed to hate Sonic, she has genuinely no reason to hate Sonic, but she does so anyway because it's the only thing she has in her life.

Blaming Sonic for her woes doesn't make a lick of sense. I'm going to link to the FAQ, and redirect you to “Sonic's forgiveness allowed Starline to get away scot-free, and Surge and Kit are the consequences of that”. But this can still work if you imagine that Surge is desperate to find a proper reason to hate Sonic like her program dictates! She is literally not in her right mind.

That's not how the story frames it, though. Sonic's response to Surge vomiting all of her trauma to him is basically "yall hear summ", and then in the middle of the fight he insists that he did nothing wrong and that's where his memetic speech about freedom comes from. This is a serious debate they're having! Over nothing! Sonic's influence over Surge and Kit's existence is so indirect you might as well blame Eggman's parents!

IDW keeps doing this. Characters berate Sonic for things that he shouldn't be berated for, such as being "responsible" for S&K or not killing Mr. Tinker, but the story conveniently glosses over his actual mistakes, such as letting Metal go for no good reason or insisting that Eggman will eventually "come around" based on the behavior of his brain damaged self :) this is what makes this "conflict" so irritating. The writing pretends to call Sonic out to be "deep" and "nuanced", but always in a way so that Sonic will always be shown to be in the right even when he's not. Just. Gah. Commit already!

I always thought that Surge had a weird underreaction over seeing that Starline died, though. She's basically like "huh, he died. Am I free then?". You'd think she'd be more bitter over the fact that she didn't kill him herself, that once again she was deprived of agency.

Oh, and now she's playing goody-goody to infiltrate the Restoration at the request of someone who casually admitted to be an actual direct responsible for her existence and pain. Which is literally wrong on so many levels and such an insipid way to bring a very popular character back. If I were a fan I'd be mad.

She was so wasted. I don't like Surge, but her concept is intriguing and it's so disappointing that she was reduced to a glorified jobber.

Imagine James asking if he can try out new poisons on you to see how your body reacts. (some of them may or may be aphrodisiacs) ♡

He's so blunt with the request, there's no dancing around the topic or dragging it out. He asks you like he's asking for the time, and he's so persuasive it's downright impossible to say no. Or, and this is the more likely reason you agree, you can't bring yourself to deny him of anything, much to your displeasure. Once you agree to anything James says it's free game for him. So when he shows up with a red, sweet smelling elixir, he expects you to down it no questions necessary. "no, no, dearest. There's no need for any pestering. just drink it." And after gulping it down, you're met with him gazing at you with an unsettlingly pleased expression.
