You're doomed--may you never fathom who you are!
Oedipus Tyrannus, lines 1167-1173 (tr. Robert Fagles)
#qin su#jin guangyao#this play isn't even really about the incest! it's about the nature of fate and the cost of truth!!#because Oedipus doomed himself years before the play even started by trying to AVOID his fate#and dooms himself a second time with his well-intended pursuit of the truth because he cannot handle what he learns#meanwhile a critical choice that Jocasta's actor gets to make is when SHE finds out#is it somewhat earlier in the play? or is it before the play even begins?#because she and Oedipus have a good thing going#given the typical first-marriage age for girls Oedipus and Jocasta likely have the same or LESS of a gap than she did with Laius#and so you can absolutely play it as her knowing but not wanting to mess things up#sorry for the tag wall but ppl have such misconceptions about this play I need you to know why it workssss#thank u for coming to my Oed Talk

Im doing a lot of thinking abt why roleplaying feels different/less natural for me in beastlife s4 in comparison to s3, and i think it’s because there’s ways i know i should be feeling (based on the perception of my character— when i was fresh out of s2 nobody knew enough about my guy to have opinions) vs how i am feeling. I’m catching myself thinking, “it wouldn’t make sense for my character to [blank],” and it’s like… what do i mean by that. what do i mean that this feeling im having in-session “wouldnt make sense for my character” to feel? It might be surprising to other beasts who know me for one thing and expect consistency, i guess?? but in s3 i just acted on feelings and then shit happened. what. why am i trying to enforce a character that does not exist when the strength of mcrp lies in its improvisational nature. I didn’t write this guy on purpose, why am i trying to write him now
#i suppose its both the perception + higher investment from myself#I care about this story greatly now#and want it to be “good”. But there’s only so much control i have over that#Its not my job to break down the themes of the narrative and try my best to make it cohesive im here to play games and dramatics#My favorite mcrp narratives werent written on purpose. they literally just happened naturally#Imagine if i went into elysium after death thinking “how do i properly conclude my character arc”#And not “This will probably land us a conclusion. lets ball”#I think there’s also more pressure because my character is universally seen as a bad guy now so im like. ohh#What if i make him too sympathetic on accident and everyone thinks im weird irl about it#Bitch youre roleplaying with cubes. who give a fuck……#sorry for posting like you people know what im talking about btw#But i also just think mcrp is rlly interesting#beastlife#<- i guess. I use it as an organizational tag but its funny that there’s a “maintag” now#Still using it for organization though idgaf#Unrelated but I got a good scott ask earlier today in my drafts that i just remembered#The forgetter#Ftr i think its good to be somewhat narratively aware but the way i typically do it is in an entertainer sense#and not a serious serious mode writing sense. i am much more comfortable with one of these over the other#which would be why playing s4 feels a bit unnatural for me at times#not to say people who do go into mcrp with this mindset are like. wrong. it just does not work for me i think

Does Final Fantasy VII Rebirth have a thing for seeing tutorials again anywhere? I don't see any in the menu (unless they're hidden behind system?).
Because there's just so much in this game, that would be nice to have (FFXVI had that). Like, I just got a tutorial for how to look for hidden treasure with my chocobo... but the tutorial was so fast, and they of course only showed it once, that I'm already screwing it up and not sure I'm using the right button prompts. And I think I wandered too far away from where the chocobo caught the scent, in trying to find this treasure, but in going back now, the blue question marks aren't coming up again to indicate the area the treasure's in at all:( I was worried this was a one shot deal kind of thing (like, if you accidentally walk away from the treasure, the prompts won't come up again), but Google tells me that isn't the case.
Thankfully, I saved literally right before this whole thing, so I'm going to reset and try again, but still...
Edit: Problem solved. @keybladebard Let me know they're in the "manual" section of the main menu:)
#in other news (i won't say too much about my ffvii rebirth journey today here for spoilers) i think i'm maybe good at queen's blood now and#like it#and that was after thinking i didn't understand it at all and somewhat cursing its existence and the idea that i probably had to play it#in some ways i feel like i didn't get a lot done today--at least not in terms of main story--but i do still think i progressed quite a bit#and i had fun (i came so close to beating titan earlier than i was supposed to and i'm impressed by that)#i also got lost a few times. oops. but it most definitely could have been worse. i have no sense of direction

By Your Side but 君が居なくなった日
Made a mistake at the end but this was the best attempt
Was practicing the song and suddenly had this idea so I arranged it a bit more
#why? because i can and the song title somewhat fits#omori game#omori#me play music#lord how do people play perfectly because i canNOT#tmi but earlier this month i got to play a public piano and i couldn't help but make a mistake i know i could just go along with it#but seriously how

respect for the fact that jean had to be one of the most outgoing in the 104h cadet corps.
#out of.#when u look at the earlier chapters he rlly just hangs out with so many ppl i love it#my dude spends more time with RBA then he does connie and sasha from like chapter 12-17#then you see him play around with tht random cadet rather than actually pay attention to actual combat fightin ...#then u have the cadet who was aptly named as envious of jean in the character book too ...#im not an outgoing person which makes it nicer when i write as a character who is at least somewhat nice to ppl hes just met#unless they get on his nerves.#i rlly could talk all day about the jean being a softie but we would be here. all day.#he grows to care more for his closer friends ... gets betrayed by some ... but its clear hes still sociable. hes the one floc.he etc#approach first when they switch over to the scouts . the first to speak back and humour with them too ...#me holdin the list of good things jean does up like a poster: sir he did nothing wrong#trying to write but 40 hours week take it out of u man

just woke up from the best film I've ever watched in my life only to realise it was a dream
#IT DOESN'T EXIST. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FUNCTION#is there an animated film about like these 6 rats or something escaping from this guy but there's all these themes that they go through#and the final theme is death bc one of them gets impaled by a rose thorn and it's like FUCK bc they were almost gonna get away#so there's this old guy who's a bit of a prick but he becomes nicer at the end but he's the one that dies#and these two girls one of them is like idk she's good at a lot of things and the other one is kind of a pushover#then three guys one of them is really pathetic one is kind of silly and one of them i guess is the Normal Main Character type#also there's humans going about their lives in the present but for some reason the rats' lives are set in like? early 20th century italy#and there's all these shots of like the italian scenery for some reason. idk why it's set there but it's a vibe#idk who the guy they're getting away from is or what he wanted with them but yeah#and bc they're rats or whatever type of rodent they were they would like hide in bushes and it would be really intense bc like#what if the guy can see them#and basically not to give any spoilers but then the old guy died and they wrote some quote on a bit of paper and drew a pic of him and stuc#it on the wall as tribute. and idk who's gonna see it bc I think they were amongst some plants at the bottom of like#one of those bench booths you get in restaurants or cafes. I have no idea#but then it ended with them walking up this hill into the sunset or something idek#with this like late 60s/early 70s big produced sweeping strings tambourines etc. banger playing over the credits#also my car was in it occasionally. and this guy I went to college with and never spoke to#and my best friend briefly#and earlier on I had another dream but idk if it was connected. but it was stan kyle kenny and cartman#but they got a job where my dad works in this park as like. toilet assistants. as in when someone went#to the toilet they'd open the door. that was the whole job#but one of the job requirements was they had to be beatles coded apparently#like that's what it said on the application. so they basically just reenacted the history of the beatles#while opening toilet doors#it was like 4 dreams in one but they were all somewhat connected. also the lining in my coat was so reflective it made a sound#and I was telling someone about my favourite chord progression idk what relevance that had but standard dream i guess#anyway. rodent storyline was going on as it did but at the end it became a film and suddenly I was there. watching it with my friend#and i was like ''god originally I would've given this a 4 maybe 3.5 on letterboxd but now it's getting a 5 + a ❤''#ramble#oneiro

for anyone wondering about the Olli/Allu beach fic... it's now on AO3
🏖️
#blind channel rpf#blind channel fanfiction#it's somewhat different from what i originally planned#but i just wasn't feeling the first version. too much telling not enough showing 😪#then i remembered a wise man from vantaa who once said ''i'm gonna play my own strengths''#and my strengths just happen to be overly emotional internal monologues and ridiculous metaphors 😌#also i did want to make it smuttier than this but again something just felt off#there are so many writers in the fandom that are way better at smut than i am#so i'm happy leave that stuff to y'all and stick to...whatever this is 😂#anyway. i hope this fulfils your olli/allu beach day needs! 🌞#sorry 'bout the late hour btw. i would've posted this earlier but... i didn't have it finished earlier? 😅

I know some guys can have naturally occurring musculature from less exercise and more healthy diet but this still seems so silly to me
#NGL I feel like if Aiden and Ajay had a more lean muscle build like Tom Sato that would make more sense#I can see Aiden being somewhat fit since he does marching band#And I can see both Aiden and Ajay having relatively healthy diets#But this still seems off to me LMAO#But you know how PB is#Even from their earlier days they've always been very allergic to any male bodytypes that aren't super muscular#Like where are the twink and femboy and chubby LIs#Not all of us like muscle men PB#we get some crumbs like caleb and thomas being smooth or ajay's and liam's hourglass shapes or tom being lean but it's not enough#choices stories you play#choices#choices game#choices stories we play#choices stories we play fandom#hss#choices hss#high school story#choices high school story#hss aiden#aiden zhou#high school story aiden#hss caleb#high school story caleb#caleb mitchell#hss ajay#ajay bhandari#high school story ajay#hss: class act#hss class act#high school story: class act

i think, once im done being obsessed with rain enough to feel like getting all the mods i want to work, my astarion romancer will be a cambion
#rather a 'cambion'#which is to say a tiefling with modded wings#i did make them already earlier in the cc just to play around#their name is woe and they have wednesday addams energy#but also they're a bard#that will be my (somewhat) evil playthrough#not really cause i just. cant be mean in video games#but I'll do more questionable things#and its fine bc devils are really very polite little creatures#fel's bg3#oc: woe#establishing their tag now. i certainly wont forget about them

I'm so curious about what an Eddsworld rpg would be like. Something that like follows every pre-leg Eddsworld plot in an rpg format mayhaps? I would have so much fun with zombeh, spares, ghost, or even 'The End' Tord as a secret extra hard boss battle, kinda rpg levels. Would be so fun omg.
#you start with just edd and then rescue more party members throughout#tord would be playable to fight with in the The End boss battle and he and the tord you're fighting look slightly different#wink wink nudge nudge clone tord theory#is this somewhat because of the pixel guys I made earlier? yes#i'm honestly just starving for a genuine eddsworld fangame to play#i can't find anything good :(#so now I gotta make it myself ugh#*pouts as if anyone is actually asking me to do this to myself*

#Doodles#Tamagotchi#Yaaay I can share them! My Tamas! ♥#It's been a fun experience to play with Tamagotchis for the first time haha - it's a much slower burn than I could've expected!#I only ever got to even hold a Gotch for maybe twenty minutes up til this point? Lol - not very long at all!#As you can imagine I only got to play with the Egg Hatching/Baby stage which is very chaotic and needy so that's what I had to go off of#It's different! Not Super different in certain ways lol ♪ But different!#Smol very graciously agreed to play with me since I got both a Mesu and Osu :D She got the Mesu and named her Honey#And I kept the Osu and named him Bee! :D#I'm still in a little bit of conflict as to whether the Device (Gotchi) is named Bee or if the Creature (Tama) is named Bee lol#I think I've decided that the Device /and/ the first generation of Tama is named Bee and then all subsequent generations are puns on Bee lol#So for Bee's child I named him Bay - BayBee lol#Bee was a cute little lad <3 I miss him a bit :') But he was a good father as well! Fed little BayBee haha#It was sooo cute to see their futons next to each other and then a little bittersweet to see little Bay's all alone one night :'''D#Other fun little things like smol raising Honey differently than I raised Bee so we ended up with non-counterparts lol#If you know anything about Osutchi raising yes you are allowed to judge me on my competency lol#I still think he's cute! He was almost half Honey's size tho which I found funny haha#I love my very big wife#There was also the fun of having a somewhat scuffed sleep schedule but them always waking me up Earlier than necessary thanks guys#They were mostly good! Bee was awful for naps tho lol - and I watched both of them at night since smol was scared she'd miss Honey's wake up#We also discussed the implications of the babies being twins but also....growing up to be.........partners? Uhm#My personal headcanon was something akin to parthenogenesis and non-mutating identical genes leading to identical babies-#Look they're code as far as I'm aware virtual pets don't suffer from inbreeding lol#And if they do well darn oh gosh oh no I guess I'll just have to get more lol ♪#They are hecka cute <3 They quite literally grow up so fast! I'm glad I get to play :D
