I NEED ITALIAN INJECTED INTO MY BRAIN

How did you manage to handle not one, but FOUR separate accounts in fl? I recently made the account for my HD little guy but having to do the tutorial again just seems miserable

there's... weirdly several answers to that question, actually??

a HUGE part of it is due to the way FL is structured. the 10-minute action timer is a core part of the game on a fundamental level, and the fact that i can very easily run out of stuff to do on one character and thus have an excuse to quickly and easily swap to another is just... convenient? satisfying? i'm not entirely sure how to explain it. the fact that i can make progress even while i am fundamentally simultaneously Not Making Progress is like pure dopamine for my freak insane awful little brain. there's just something really pleasing about spending all of my actions pursuing The Goal Of The Day™ on one account before casually swapping to another and doing the same without feeling like i'm wasting time or acting to the first account's explicit detriment. the downtime helps! the recharge time helps! the structure really really works!!

i'm technically only actively playing three, maybe two accounts minimum. the only reason the fourth (the one that'll be my future BaL playthrough) currently exists at all is so i can get his earlygame completely out of the way now and not have to waste time running through it all later, when what i actually want to do is play the ambition i've made myself wait a full year to play. and also getting free goodies as seasonal stuff happens,, something something surprise tools to help us later. the only two accounts i'd say i'm really "actively playing" at the moment are caeru and lark- and of the two, lark takes the most priority, since his ambition is the one i'm currently pursuing in earnest. for a couple months now- despite being My Main FL Character- the scoundrel has actually been pretty inactive on a gameplay front outside of the occasional progression in TLC and discordance content. purely by virtue of having Very little left to do outside of Very long-term grinds and vanities. they're in their "now what?" "now you can start playing the game" era. they've graduated to previous protagonist background cameo in a sequel anime series. they're like the yin FLPC equivalent of red at the top of mount silver. they're Literally just vibing rn. i only keep posting about them regardless because i'm insane and i will never ever ever ever ever let that bat go. but yeah, big TLDR, outside of doing the bare minimum to keep making waves/notability up every week, i'm not actually spending that much time on accounts i'm not currently actively interested in playing. and that accounts for way more gaming spoons than you might think.

i have a virtually lifelong history of playing MMOs, especially and specifically world of warcraft. i was born in the endless grind for useless video game pixel vanities and/or bragging rights. molded by it. you all have merely adapted to doing the same piece of content a pointlessly excessive amount of times for literally no reason besides whimsy and folly. me? i've done my time. i've served my sentence. i've spent weeks doing the original burning crusade netherwing dailies. i've devoted days to running praetorium over and over and over again, back-to-back, nonstop, long before square enix cut it in half and made it NOT take at minimum an hour and a half per run. i've perfected my silverwastes + auric basin goldfarming strategies. i've (almost) crafted dragonwrath tarecgosa's rest. i've killed the sha of anger so many times its dying scream of agony is embedded into the very fabric of my being. ""only"" doing making your name content four times over? that is nothing to me. it means nothing to me. it is so infinitesimal i can do the persuasive seduction quests in my sleep. it's not a matter of handling misery, or having the capacity, or even sighing as i remember the brass embassy raid segment of the watchful questline seriously i don't know why i keep forgetting that exists or what even is my problem with it i just am so consistently mildly inconvenienced by it and its highly specific resource requirements and it is the worst thing ever. maybe i'm just so used to the scoundrel's near-infinite money and troves of disposable items that i've completely forgotten what being poor is like. despite having done that step 3 fucking times now. ahem. anyway. i have transcended the feeble mortal bindings of my resistant-to-grinding flesh and ascended to a higher plane of enlightenment, they may call me insane but they will be the ones left laughing when they see what that "insanity" has wrought, i've usurped them, i've usurped them all-

hacks and coughs and awkwardly clears my throat. i mean. uh. um. Ahem.

the empress' court artistry + tales of the university nerfs helped too.

had to drop everything i was doing to make this

if I am being honest the reliance on a shuffle algorithm to push music at u to listen to is why so many of u don't understand why certain artists or songs are in your top artists/songs and I do fear a lot of u hate listening to music on shuffle but u just don't realize it. like I'm hearing a lot of "it's bc this ALWAYS comes up on shuffle I don't even like it that much!!" okay so. stop listening on shuffle

Just thinking about how in the art book it talked about how one of the things you'd explore in Lilis mind was her feelings towards Raz and this is all thats gonna be on my mind

[luckycharms1701]

So I was looking through this website for a store that sells clothes and jewellery that's based off of famous artists' works as I cried in broke :'(

And now I have a visceral need to go on a cute artsy date with rise!Mikey whilst wearing a Michelangelo outfit

congrats anon, on your ohko

i literally fell over when i read this

i found a site immediately (not the same site you were on unfortunately, but if you send that site to me my christmas list will thank you lol), and well it would have to be this one wouldn't it

mikey's not normally a jealous or possessive turtle, but he does love seeing his name on you. it soothes some urge in his hind brain, the one that has him constantly giving you hickies

he thinks you are the Cutest, and walks around the art museum you're at with your hand held tightly in his, smirking at everyone who compliments you on your outfit because obviously you're the best dressed person there

he's so proud that you're on his arm, he can't contain himself, all "yes, my partner has the best taste" to anyone and everyone he can

the unfortunate side effect of the hand holding is that whenever something catches his attention, he drags you off in his very excited wake

'he's lucky he's cute' you have to think to yourself as you trip after him

then you go to an art meetup at a nearby cafe, and you find yourself unable to concentrate on your artwork, too busy staring at him. he's so focused, and you think he's the most beautiful person you've ever seen

when he finishes and shows you that he's drawn you, in your outfit staring up at some of Michelangelo's work at the museum, well you fall in love with him all over again

(shameless plug: if you would like to read a fic of you and rise!mikey going on a cute artsy date, i wrote it here. it's a first date. the chapters are related but pretty contained, so you don't need to read the rest of it if you don't want to)

there's a pic of the dress i linked to underneath the cut, in case the listing gets removed

anyway i am so endlessly mad about the retcons to angelas character- they destroyed her, they DESTROYED HER. you will never ever convince me title era angela & post QOH are the same character, they are so fundamentally different as people.

angelas story was about making her own place in the world- about not having to belong to her birth family, no matter what people said, and about casting off the bindings of heven and seeing it for what it really was. it was about her finding a space she belongs with the people she chooses, to not be beholden to any regimes any more. her story was asking people to remember who raised her and not those who never had a hand in her making. her story was about selfishness and selflessness. her story was about sera. about her and sera and the life they made together as outcasts from where they came from

and they took all that away and made her just another asgardian. she's just hanging around the palace now.
