came back to stardew valley at the start of my art funk and after getting perfection for the first time n getting bored i started thinking about a harvest moon game i played a ton as a kid so i got 100% in that today and now im seeing stuff about a new stardew update so basically what im saying is i think i have unwittingly given up my life to become a digital farmer
#skye's ramblings#100%ing tale of two towns is a fucking trip btw. i bought a cardboard box on wheels from a girl for 30 million dollars. dont do this#also im convinced this game is impossible without constant access to the wiki this game does not care about anyone. figure it out fuckhead#the characters are absolutely wonderful though i love them soo much. makes my character design autism spin around so fast#the dialogue gets a bit repetitive but i also played to year 13 which no human being should ever do. i think 10 year-old skye should kill me#but man its good having games like these to just sort of fuck around in during burnout periods. i feel like i can start drawing again. soon#but enough of all that sdv is adding black cats. i fucking win

the way i play with Izzyverse is with every Izzy forming from a branching timeline- that they were all the same at some point, only one thing sent them off on the path to be "someones". some are obvious; Sam, Ed, Jack & Hornigold branch from the mutiny- a split second decision on who to go with, a miss timed hit leaving him in Hornigolds grasp- but the others are less so. how would he become Jackie's, or Ned's, or Anne and Mary's? what happens to make an Izzy Stede's? how do they even meet?
#for me; a stedes izzy has to form Early#before any relationships to ed or sam or anyone suited to his 'hard' life#because i think once hes caught in their orbit its pretty much game over. earth and moon#i dont think stede would stand a chance#i think. theyre kids. izzys been sailing for a few months. hes becoming a hardened pirate. but hes still really only 14/15#and theyre in port one day. and he runs into this 9/10 year old kid. its stede#hes lost; he was running from some bullies but now hes turned around and the suns going down#hes this scared little rich kid in a rough part of town and thats where izzy comes across him; hiding in an alley#behind some crates. now izzys not exactly tender of heart but he does have a particular soft spot for children#he remembers being that child. cowering behind crates. running for safety. maybe its not the same but he cant help but feel this kinship#with stede. so rather than walking by; he speaks to this child#where it goes from there? who knows. i dont think izzy would let baby stede run away to be a pirate#(even if he wants to) but maybe they figure out something else#something happens that drags izzy into his orbit. that makes him be owned by him#nyxtalks#ofmd#izzyverse#(i think it probably works better pre hornigold izzy but. in my set up thats the first time he sees the sea so. fuck me i guess)#made my own bed n all#ill probably rewrite up this tag bit. at some point#sorry this was on the mind#probably not interesting to anyone but meeeee

actually can u pls speedrun a couple facts about baby r because I’m going insane actually
hii absolutely i can im glad you asked xx in the context of. the wip i was referring to there are still a lot of details about his character i need to work out and decide on HOWEVER. at some point s will inevitably have to be in the lupins' house WHICH MEANS he will see baby pictures WHICH MEANS i get to describe them...the possibilities here are endless really i am having a real picture book / the kinks (1968) moment already...thinking of him sitting on his dads shoulders or having his little school picture taken in his little jumper in front of that cloudy blue background everyone has their school picture taken in front of...and his big brown worried eyes that take up most of his face and his chubby cheeks and his floppy hair...he is going to sit on someone's patio and eat a choc ice....he is going to sit on a tricycle his dad fixed up for him outside the miners' welfare club even though he doesnt want to and he is going to look so so sad with those big saucer eyes of his...and hope will be alive to show photos to s and s is going to be so so struck by fondness maybe he'll die...
#crying and sobbing over this version of r and he doesnt even exist yet he might not ever exist but all the same i want to put him in my#pocket he is. hes just this lonely little guy hes like. canon r at like 10 years old being very lonely except that doesnt change when he#turns eleven and now hes in his early twenties and he is still like that....until the prettiest and worst boy in the whole#entire world turns up to his town on a little bus and inexplicably decides he wants. him.......#telegram#anon#pride au

They won't stop fucking developing around my house. They're constantly blasting, constantly destroying the fucking woods where all the deer and little foxes used to live and play. All to put in shitty overpriced condos and apartments.
But are they gonna do anything to improve the road structures? Are they gonna provide even basic public transit? Sidewalks?
Nope. They're just gonna cram hundreds of families in one tiny area that is one road removed from one of two major through roads in this town.
#cranky about suburban expansion#and gentrification this morning#give me back my old spaced out town#it used to be affordable to live here#the cost of buying a house in my neighborhood is over double what it was 10 years ago when we bought out house#thats to say nothing of the cost of these new constructions that look like they'll fall apart in less than a decade

what's your fave headcanon for the reactions of their family/other characters to learning abt khanpella marriage imminent?
HELLO ANON TY FOR ASKING 😃😃
Well FIRSTLY I think overall the Kains are against it or neutral while Vlad Sr. is generally for it but still not totally supportive... Vlad Jr. is only as supportive as he has to be in any situation but actually heartbroken and so so sad 💔 boo hoo
Victor appears... hmm... not enthusiastic? I think he *wants* his son to start behaving more and Capella will likely make that happen once she takes the reins, but still Khan wouldn't be acting in or motivated by his family's (esp Nina and Maria's) interests. Which Victor is against as a Utopian who is obv biased to his daughter's success. So i suspect his attitude is more measured n complicated. Georgiy, i think, isn't even really concerned- i think he's thrown in the towel when it comes to his family, he's done all he thinks he could have done, his life is at its end no matter the ending. He might even be for it, as he does seem to feel threatened by Vlad Jr.'s presence- i think he is less concerned about Nina or Maria's wants, or the Mistress rivalry, than Kaspar (as a Kain heir) & his overall success as a cornerstone of power. Whether he supposedly moves across the River figuratively or literally or none of the above, as long as that is met, he's fine. It's not like there are many options anyway.
Maria on the other hand is highly against it. Like so against it that this canonically becomes the basis of the new Mistress rivalry in Classic. Maria has no reason to seriously reckon with Capella until the marriage plot- which is nevertheless an inevitability for a dozen reasons- and she mentions their relationship as happening even in the Utopian ending, notably near her projected death. Nobody takes Khan's betrayal seriously enough! I could literally write a whole post about this & i likely already have and just forgotten. Maybe i will again. Anyway i think this is roughly the same case in Patho 2, as Khan mentions his sister harassing him about the Tower there too*
Vlad Sr., i think, is for it for business purposes- i don't think he'd be happy to have Maria make his son submit to her, or give the Kains that advantage. He's a pragmatic person, although i think he's still strongly male-biased. He accepts his daughter's decision bc she's smart & generally acts within his business interests, even if she is only concerned about maintaining soft power, but i think he knows how to make the loss of his daughter not touch his empire (as in, P2 said Capella would inherit nothing). She'd be marrying up, so he wouldn't lose anything. It's complicated. As for how he views Khan, i think he respects the brutality and spine Khan exhibits that his own son doesn't (& there's a whole other post on this), but he might also view that as a threat, depending. It would be interesting to see play out, esp as Capella breaks away more from her father's plans in 2.
Vlad Jr is an interesting case. In Classic, he's the one to tell Clara that it was actually the parents that first arranged Capella and Khan's marriage, before all parties backed out due to the 2 butting heads when they got older. There's so much we don't know when it comes to Vlad. I think he loves but still heavily distrusts his sister, knowing their plans will diverge. Unlike Khan, who would wedge himself between his sister & Capella, Vlad tries to flee. I joke that he and Khan would be funny to see talk, but i also feel like he wouldn't naturally align himself to Khan/Capella's plans. But he'd certainly be super fake to his face and not complain. I have a feeling he has a low opinion of Khan anyway, as he's not someone easily used (or very loyal to his own father), he's unpredictable, & an obstacle in his way. And rude. Probably Vlad will still try to make it happen with Maria regardless, at least in 2- as for Classic, we know he learns of the marriage & immediately wants to get out of Town. Which is funny in a way.
#i love love love their family politics. so so crazy#also sidenote idk why all the fic seems to point to Maria leaving Town in Patho w#patho 2... i never saw that as plausible#she says she doesnt want to leave so i really dont think she will...#but i think maria and khan are stuck together in a way vlad jr and capella arent#for better but mostly for worse#like vlad n capella avoid directly fighting n confrontations but i could see khan and maria getting ugly w one another#even tho capella works behind her brother's back ALL the time in classic like nearly gets him KILLED#meanwhile khan doesn't love mommy as much as i do so he must perish <maria voice#and khan goes if nobody is going to parent my crazy sister properly then i will <he's 10 years old n shes 26#although parent is not exactly the best word#patho tag#asks#Anonymous#thanks for giving me the excuse to talk your ear off anon

I am so looking forward to LT3. I hope Louis finally feels confident enough to fully dive into rockier sounds and let the slow tunes (although i do adore Saturdays) and tailored to radio songs (looking at you BTM) go. We need more Silver Tongues and OOMS. Him covering 505 made it so clear that his voice is PERFECT for that kind of sound. The feedback from AM fans was super positive too surprisingly! And I think he knows that his fans will buy his albums no mater what so, here’s hoping I guess🤞
ME AS YOU AND THOSE CROSSED FINGERS, listen, he needs to stop it with the British pastiche nonsense, that whole ~big songTM, the courting of the m.o.r. crowd on radio whatever number it is, and lean into the boppier indie bits, take notes from Mr. Turner that you don't have to write chip shop songs for the rest of your life, you can write the shit that's evocative of your current life TODAY, as it is vs. was, etc. etc., and it'll work! My UO is that a lot of FITF is chasing SOMETHING, and it really didn't have to
#i think fitf is half of a good album of breakup shit and that half is purely made up of boppy songs that just SCREAM AT YOU#vs. the dirges for the terraces vibes that just don't play like they did 10 years+ ago (your coldplays your snow patrols)#i feel like he's savvy and is taking notes#but he doesn't need to give us favourite worst nightmare or whatever just lean into his own shit#i feel like that's what happened with harry tbh only REALLY vague city and that's fine! it works!#and it's NOT what happened with niall#niall stepped back into one direction or echoing harry#i love me some one direction#but it's literally been done before#give it a song or two and move on#just my unprofessional opinion#i don't give a shit if he's chasing new fans or old#just saying what i wanna hear and i feel like louis's the lyricist who could do it#find that melody guy and go to fucking TOWN with it

colorado trail near cottonwood pass, june 2022
#this was another really fun hitch it was a trail angel who went like 10 miles out of his way for me#an old guy who did a lot of SAR and told me about a rescue last year that i think messed him up a little#anyways we got up to the parking lot and the couple that was hiking behind me the day before (i passed them at the sketch cornice at uh.#lake ann? mary lake? something like that)#and they were heading into town and got a ride back w him! perfect timing!#i was like so excited to see them cause i wasn't keeping pace with anyone really and there were hardly any repeat encounters like that#anyway journal says this day sucked and doesn't elaborate. im pretty sure it was amazing in the morning (see photo for fucks sake. hello)#but i do remember thunderstorm panic and hail and waiting in cold rain under a rock getting soaked for like an hour as one of the#lower points of the whole trip#but i saw my first bull moose in the evening! and i did big miles!#it was the first 10+ mile traverse above treeline. and so close to a parking lot like. you can literally just drive there and do a day hike#lets just everybody move to colorado what is the point of depriving ourselves by living elsewhere#trail posting#colorado trail#CT#tag journal#cottonwood pass

turbulent events have happened tonight
#celebrated international children's day with my high school english teacher#yes we have been friends for almost 10 years. since i was in 9th grade#yes he is 19 years older than me#talked about the old friend group which consisted about like three of us high school girls and a bunch of college guys who were all at least#4 or 5 years older than us. yes every guy crushed on the same girl at one point. i was in a relationship with the oldest of them#one of them who was tangentially in the group now has psychiatric problems. i don't know the specifics. he was to get married to this random#ass girl who got pregnant at 22/23 by another guy#idk who exactly but suffice to say they are not together anymore#we discussed my cancer situation. my ex (who apparently will love me forever) was crying a lot about it and seemed shaken up#even at their little guys christmas reunion last year#he texted me in december saying a part of me lives and will always live inside of him and that he loves me no matter what#i was honestly at a complete loss for words because we broke up 5 years ago. we literally had no future together#one of the other guys apparently said back in december that it was no use texting me encouraging words because we had drifted apart#that is the same guy i crushed on for 6 years. i still wished him a happy birthday in april tho.#it's okay because my crush on him vanished as soon as i realized he's a little piece of shit human. still likeable tho#and that is the issue. anyway. maybe i shouldn't have said piece of shit he's more like an annoying asshole which you still find endearing#talking to him now makes me realize he was never all that. high school me just thought he did really interesting things (which admittedly#were very interesting for that time and for our little town)#about my ex tho#even though i have no feelings for him anymore i think it's really beautiful that what we had is staying with him like that. i hope#it doesn't stop him from having a healthy and loving relationship in the future#i know he had multiple relationships after me but none of them really worked out. i really hope he finds that happiness#the way that i have

I can't find my favorite hat 🙃
#the last time I can remember wearing it is in a movie theater across town on New Years#and I could not tell you if I had it when I got home or not#I can't remember taking it off#I can't remember it falling off#I'm going to fucking cry my day isn't off to the greatest start#argothia's upset#also the thing is like 10 years old at this point finding an identical one would be next to impossible

had a momentary obsession that i shall ramble about in the tags
#doing research on this old abandoned bridge that my younger brother's airsoft team used to cross for their campaigns#just on the edge of a nearby town and literally falling apart#and anyway found out some really interesting things today!#there is only one resident remaining on the other side of the bridge; he actually fell through the thing about 5 years ago#he caught himself though so he didn't land in the VERY deep and COLD mountain creek below#he doesn't qualify for any kind of land/property/fire insurance because literally no one can reach his trailer from the other side#the bridge was built in 1917 and there were at least 10 other homes on the other side & a town dump further along the road#(i explored a little over there once with sky; i got the 'grand tour' with him & said sole resident [sky & co's friend])#the same town used to have at least five different train routes#the same town had TROLLEYS?!?#i knew they had a canal system (i've explored some of that before) and only half the train tracks are abandoned but like#TROLLEYs?!?!?#they were there as late as the tail end of the 1950s WHY did you GET RID of THEM?!#i found a lot of local history blogs and just-#it was all so pretty and there were more bridges across the three rivers i'm-#i'm so sad because we had all this beautiful public transit and it's just Gone now#anyway~#i got my answers as to WHY the bridge went into disrepair anyway: the town shut down the dump (not quite sure yet why)-#and put most of the land- and the connecting bridge- up for sale#sky's buddy mike did NOT sell his property but all others had either passed on or moved away#the lawyer who bought the parcel- one of those local families that thinks they're hot shit because they're wealthy- decided to neglect it#cue several really intense floods in the early-to mid 2000s and the base of the bridge is basically shambles#the trellises are still there but literally it barely supports any weight these days; mike had it patched up with ramshackle wood beams#and some plywood; i remember crossing it around... 2018-ish? and there were just whole patches where there was nothing at all between#you and the water. skyler led the way across; the airsoft team had spraypainted the spots where the wood was safest to cross#but yeah in case anyone's curious what ace did today during their downtime at work now you know#history shit#shut up ace

Ah, Star Trek. My first sci-fi love.
Waaay back in 1966 (when I was 10), if I was a very good girl I got to stay up until the end of Star Trek. It was the highlight if my week.
Is Star Trek popular on this Website? I mean, it's the fandom website and Star Trek was the first modern fandom so it just makes sense if it's popular on here.
