GO CHIEFS GO!

#not ikesen #superbowl #i have. SUCH beef. with the eagles #my dad and my man are both eagles fans and they were clowning me the whole 49ers eagles game #like um....... okay?#are you proud?#is this how you wanted to win?#we literally don't have a quarterback.......#we were gonna put cmc--our RUNNING BACK--in because we were so desperate #look. nobody was actively expecting the 49ers to win against the eagles #but if purdy didn't tear his ucl #it would've at LEAST been a good game.#we might've lost but it would've been a good game #and then devonta smith totally catching out of bounds and forcing the game along before 49ers could challenge it?#gimme a break. he totally knew he wouldn't win that challenge #it was a dirty game even before we lost all our qbs #the eagles play dirty and fight nasty and my mental health absolutely rides on whether the chiefs win or not #this game will change the foundations of who i am as a person #(jokes. i'm being a drama queen)

🎃 trick or treat 🎃

You get a long snippet (act surprised):

Roy flipped to a page at random:

'Ah, la belle dame sans merci who lived in his heart, made known to him in transitory fading splendor by dark eyes in the Ritz-Carlton, by a shadowy glance from a passing carriage in the Bois de Boulogne!'

The book Ted had given Roy had started with, ‘It was a dark and stormy night.’

“Oi!” Jamie started, sitting up to give Roy a concerned frown. “This one isn’t the first in the series.”

Roy shrugged. “Doesn’t matter. They’re all supposed to be self-contained stories. Don’t think I’ve ever met a person who read Wodehouse in order.”

Mollified, Jamie settled back into the cushions with Roy’s book, seemingly unaware of the puzzle Roy was rotating in his head.

Within the first few pages, he had a good idea what Ted intended by giving Jamie this particular book. He also couldn’t help but notice that he’d been given a book fit for his six-year-old niece, and Sam had been given Ender’s Game, and somehow Jamie had been the unlucky bastard with a reading assignment that would make any university student want to stick pencils in their eyes.

Also Anthony Patch was a posh rich twat.

#trick or treat asks #ask game #snippets #partway through suffering through The Beautiful and The Damned and BOY HOWDY DO I HAVE OPINIONS ON THIS BEING JAMIE'S BOOK #i tried to find you something fluffy but instead I found this and I am having STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT IT #anyways the fluffy part is that Roy spends a good chunk of time trying to find A Book for Jamie #partly to undo a little of what Ted did (and he does not even know the whole of THAT yet)#and partly because he has assigned himself Coach Homework to work out what he would've done in Ted's situation #and partly because jamie struggling to finish this stupid book is excruciating to watch. because jamie is not enjoying the book like at all #so here roy has literally just. traded him books. so Jamie can curl up on the couch with Wodehouse #and roy can suffer through the realistic disintegration of a relationship into emotional (and physical) domestic abuse and alcoholism #and like. ted couldn't have known. but wow wow wow this is not a light read #anyways #abuse mention cw #for the tags at least #roy kent #jamie tartt #fic: oh god you're gonna get it (you have not been given love)

i really do hate jjk

#i just can't quit this fucking fandom #but i hate this series now #like the core narrative issues drive me insane #everyone deserved better #especially yuuji deserved better #the culling games is such a pointless??? arc???#that stalls progression of both the narrative and yuuji's character development #i know everyone's loving the new chapter but honestly i dont think its earned #i think gege skipped the best time he had to actually allow sukuna and yuuji time to breathe as characters #but its more than that #nothing about the culling games narratively leads into this finale #its a complete waste of space #everything about this feels so unearned becuase gege also didn't give anyone except like...nanami's death time to breathe #and don't get me started on nobara #gojo's death i would've been fine with if he hadn't played it as shock value #that's not even the thing that made me nope out #it was choso's death #and the immediate whiplash to todo's entrance #which was so fucking infuriating #like at least when nobara died we got time to sit with that and for yuuji to have feelings before todo came in #but here its like oh no are you sad well NOT ANYMORE look its TODO #to the complete BULLSHIT that was yutajo #i love tragedy but tragedy needs to say something #its gotta be worth it #this just feels like pointless nihilistic bullshit #and that's what im not here for #it makes me mad when gege writes good character interactions now because its like #we could've had this the whole time #you're so good at this #but you just fucking refuse to

i've been complaing about how dirty revali has been done but man daruk was done even dirtier

#bwark #totk lb #like revali at least had a sign pointing towards his platform + the great eagle bow that tulin gets given is revali's bow specifically #it has the fabric of revali's scarf on it. no other great eagle bow in the game has it. not even the one you can get #which i'm assuming is why tulin made a big deal out of it when he got it. they could've made him say ''wow dad you're giving me champion #revali's bow???'' or something to make it more obvious but w/e #outside of the boulder breaker compendium daruk gets NOTHING #there's no sign pointing towards his monument #yunobo doesn't use daruk's protection or wear his champion cape anymore #which feels like a huge insult to him if you ask me #like you know what would've been really nice? if while he was under the influence of the mask yunobo didn't wear daruk's champion cape or #use daruk's protection but once he's freed from the mask he started wearing/using them again as a mark of him returning to his old self #society if totk had good story telling

Me vs FF14 part... 2?

It's taken me pretty much three full days of running from cutscene to cutscene. But I've finally reached Heavensward.

And like... on some level? I'm kind of offended?

Like, a part of me genuinely wants to replay the entire game from the start "as something else" (different main-class, different race, different starting-area, whichever), because the dungeon-queuing system is actually really fun when you start to Understand it.

As in, FF14 has somehow made an MMO that has almost eliminated the feeling that it is a level-grind? Partially? It's turned the whole thing into a surprisingly comfortable level of (limited, but genuine) social interaction.

To the point where even someone who isn't obsessively grind-focused like me, can genuinely enjoy themselves. Just queuing up for dungeons, Hunting some bounties, and-...

And then FF14 has so many fucking quests that it literally chokes the life out of the gameplay.

As an example, one of their biggest dungeon-draws (bcs high rewards) is a quest that almost everyone hates playing. Because doing that dungeon means watching literally eighteen minutes of unskippable cutscenes.

And that's with them having reduced the amount of cutscenes in that dungeon, because the players complained so much about them.

Like... I'd be perfectly happy replaying the game from the start with a different character, even knowing that leveling isn't some kind of pain-free thing. But the thought of having to restart the fucking Main-Quest? Of having to spend literal days just running back-and-forth to cutscenes?

I'm currently feeling a bit burned-out as a result of the binge I went on to get here, but I'm pretty damn sure that I wouldn't replay this fucking thing even if you paid me for it.

(And, of course, Heavensward also has a Main-Quest continuation that you have to follow. And now I'm not even allowed to fly everywhere to cut down on the "running back-and-forth"-part of my complaints. Not until they arbitrarily allow me to discover flight for the new areas, by going through even more of the Main-Quest.)

(Not to mention that now I have to go back and do even more Class-quests, with their own cutscenes, in order to unlock a bunch of skills.)

(I'm very fond of the "the church is evil because it doesn't let you fuck dragons"-meme, and I'm very much seeing it. But like... come the fuck on. Why is this MMO a feature-length movie-series? Why can't I just play the game and have fun?)

#and yes. i'm very much aware that ''you can do anything with one character''#bcs everyone gets one (1) race-changing potion. and classes can be switched out super-easily. but that's not the point.#video games #ff14 #rants #personal stuff #also like... i'm unemployed and waiting for my classes to begin a few weeks from now. i have INFINITE free-time.#and i still feel like ff14 is actively trying to waste my time by ''telling a story'' that should be in a single-player game.#... actually. that'd explain a lot. did the writers of this game learn to write from single-player games?#is that why there are so many cutscenes and minor characters to constantly juggle? did nobody tell them that they were making an MMO?#(the feeling of going ''all-in'' on the genuineness in the cutscenes even when it's corny as shit? good.)#(being forced to sit through cutscene after cutscene instead of actually playing the game? bad.)#like... even just the dungeon-cutscenes? to some degree it's expected that you SHOULD skip them? bcs you're making others wait?#(and during the Raids. that means outright being left behind. ain't nobody stopping for anyone.)#so you're losing a massive bit of story-telling. bcs it's trying to tell that story in the WORST place.#it's a good story? i guess? but it's so fucking inconvenient to _play the game around_ that it feels more like a chore than an adventure.#and in a single-person game? i think it'd be great. maybe not entirely my kettle of fish. but genuinely good. but as an MMO?#like i get that a lot of it has been added onto it over the span of YEARS and that ppl playing it since launch would've been desperate #for new content. despite how the amount of content seems incredibly overwhelming for new players.#but jesus fuck. at least let people wanting to start a new character to just... skip the fucking thing? they've already seen it once.#* nevermind. they thought of that. they're selling ''story-skip''-potions for 10$. wow. just... wow.

alright this is so annoying and disappointing because -obviously i cant know for sure, but- it feels like something happened to change their minds :/ which would be just sad

#i knowwwwwww im just being dramatic but this game is so close to being the perfect game #(well you know not Perfect perfect but.)#a good dlc + a definitive version or something would've been just incredible imo #well... i hope the patches wont stop for a good while at least </3 #but still in terms of business perspective no dlc for the goty is so baffling to me it doesn't make sense in my head rn #and to think of all the content that feels like was cut but could still be incorporated into the game like #idk how to elaborate my brain is kinda fuzzy rn sorry #anyway this is my cue to finally get into divinity ig? lol #it's still exciting to look forward to new games where they can possibly build upon this system/engine but also like #it feels too early to abandon such a huge game idk 😭 anyway im shutting up lmao #bg3 #rants

what’re your thoughts on live action zelda movie? i assume they’re not positive !

so glad you asked! my plans for the premiere will be a suicide bombing at nintendo hq! hope this answered your question!

#I think it's a bad idea lol #I think zelda is not a good franchise to try and adapt to a movie format in general #because it's very much a story that uses the fact it's a video game to TELL the story. so putting it in a different medium changes that #and that isn't to say that an adaptation can never change things about what it's adapting in fact the mark of a good adaptation #is often knowing when and where and what to change and how #but soooo much of zelda and it's appeal and storytelling comes from the fact it's a video game. so I can't imagine liking it as a movie #and then nothing about it is inspiring confidence #I think if they absolutely HADDD to adapt loz. it should've been animated. loz is a franchise where the art direction is really important #so. taking that away is. a choice #and then the movie is being directed by the guy who directed the fucking MAZE RUNNER MOVIESSSSS😭😭😭#and those are. well the quality is. tbf the fact that the maze runner is just not amazingly well written was working against that too #but still #the only possible saving graces are A. the guy said his aims are something to the effect of a live action ghibli movie #I don't have much faith in that being successful but at least he's trying?#and B. I will say the fact it's live action means they're probably going to TRY to take the story seriously??#if it was animated they probably would've treated it like the mario movie which would've been SOOO bad #ultimately though I think best case scenario is a mediocre movie we forget about #and worst case scenario it makes history with other well known godawful adaptations #yes im gonna hate it yes I will be watching it. unfortunately. I need to see how this turns out #ask #supercoolswampert #hi hanaan!#loz #loz movie

LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOO

*V1 voice* [LITERALLY SEETHING]

#TAKE THAT CYNO AHA #(pretty sure he would've killed me next round because of pyro/dendro gkjgflk)#part of me is like i won't bother putting this in main tags because not much happens but tumblr will do it anyways through keyword search so #genshin impact #spark's genshin adventures #spark talks about nothing of relevance #been a while since i played genshin because i'm a bit burnt out on SO MANY GAME RELEASES AND UPDATES ATM #but windblume event was nice. i like collei and sucrose's serious conversation about social anxiety #i can't really speak on it coming from at LEAST someone undiagnosed but it reads like both of them are on the autism spectrum?#like collei always has to plan out conversations in her head and can't adapt easily (which same actually tbh)#and sucrose hyperfixates on her research and finds it hard to reach out past that #i wasn't expecting that kind of deep dive but it's interesting. i'm glad the two of them get along!#imo i guessed they'd be good friends from the start of the event. they have a lot in common #god i wish kaeya showed up more though. though i still have the new dain quest to do so!#also noelle is getting the pretty claymore regardless on if it's good for her. it's what she deserves <3

I'd really like to see what you think the reaction would be, if Chell and Mel met each other! Do you think they'd be friends?? (Requestober ask :D)

Day 26 -*Test Subjects

#My art #Requestober #Portal #Portal Stories: Mel #Chell #Mel #Yes I do think they would be friends!!#So fun fact: You won't find it over here but I've actually drawn Chell and Mel hanging out on one of my art accs #It's been like four years since then tho so I'm more than happy to return to it! :D #I've always seen Chell as this kinda snarky and stoic voice of reason - chaotic but in a fuck you kind of way <3 #And Mel as this kind of boisterous big-personality'd bubbly extrovert who's very cool with PDAs - platonic or romantic #So they balance each other out haha #With Chell's whole isolated-from-humans deal some friendly touch would probably do her good #I imagine she'd probably be most comfortable with hand-holding tho haha hugs are a big ask!#Plus she could talk to her with touch sign language :) At least until they level up a bit #I wonder how much sign language would've evolved between their respective time periods haha #Huah I feel a little off my game today - I wish Mel's hair had turned out nicer :')#I am at least getting some early LAC hug vibes and that's amusing me hehe ♪

I was wondering why Apep's boss theme sounded so familiar, like I was having heavy nostalgia trying to figure it out, but it reminds me of something from Kingdom Hearts, which I haven't played in so, so long!! Like especially the parts that involve the flute and clarinet??

omg y'all didn't know but I used to play the clarinet in middle school and grade nine, and we had to put on a little performance once, and I played one of the OSTs from the second game ksdjfsldgslk thinking about it kinda gets me cringy BUT it's a core memory where the aftermath of the performance unfortunately made me not want to play it anymore......... it's such a shame.

#ahhhhhh i was REALLY good at playing the clarinet. and the piano. i really hate myself for giving them both up.#guitar? not so much. i hated playing the guitar.#i have a clarinet saved into my amazon wishlist so i can buy one again bc i would love to relearn it.#ahhh yknow i always say how boring and mundane my life has always been??#at least that's what its always felt like from my perspective; i don't really change my routine and maybe that's why #BUT i have actually been blessed enough to experience SO MUCH in my life around all the bad things?#and when i was a teenager i think i really took that for granted. especially when it came to my health.#the fact that i dropped the clarinet mid-grade nine ended up being that awful culmination of the bad things i had to experience #but in hindsight i think if i continued to force myself to play it and/or the piano i would've ended up hating both of them.#my love for either won't ever go away nor will it decrease anymore (which i'm also grateful for)#and hopefully one day i WILL get back into the clarinet #but i'm grown enough now to put certain things into perspective that i can control the bad things that can happen to me or my health #so thinking about all the memories of playing that instrument when things were still good...... that's also an honour for me to hold onto.#now my favourite game has so many songs that has the clarinet in it and that really makes me so happy.#hahaha idk if this was all just random rambling but....... it made me happy to talk about and reminisce on.#:)#✦ nc vb.

-Checks dash-

-Sym/Nem ship mentioned-

“Oh no. Ohnoohnoohno-”

-Scenario that’s been living in the back of my head starts crashing against the locked door like that scene in the Shining.-

-Screams-

#Oh no here we go again #I need to AT LEAST finish playing through potionomics before giving in to this tho #I had this as a fun little thought for a while and then I played through a romance Tammy 100 friendship Sym run #And got it confirmed that Sym delights in learning how to cook #And with Nem being hungry like 100% of the time in game it's like #That sure would be a perfect little bonding moment wouldn't it #Another major leap of trust from Nem's side #'cause I imagine there would've been some major pushback from certain people about a Xeno helping in the kitchen #And she was probably one of them #But also this is an incredibly self indulgent little scene because I mean #Sym with his hair tied back and an apron #Watching a friend play Your Turn To Die taught me one thing very well #Pretty men with sensible aprons is a Good Aesthetic #None of that frilly maido apron stuff just like #Casual everyday stuff without trying too hard

never have I felt more vindicated for going "idk, I kind of wish loi took place in 1099 instead (to the point I sometimes legitimately forget it takes place in 1094) because I like the idea of it rhyming with the final battle of 1999, Dracula was Dracula for 900 years exactly before his final death feels nicer than 900 and a few years"

than looking it up and finding out that the first crusade, which supposedly Leon and Mathias were a part of, didn't even start until 1095-96, and ended in 1099

#prince talks #not that it's. good. that they were in the crusades.#but you know .#also even if he's in the crusades the whole time Leon still would've been a knight for at least 3 years before that.#If he's still 22 in this shifted timeline.#idk. loi is the game whose canon timeline I feel most [handwaves] about. I think it could be done better.#and as someone already used to fe4 a game that has a janky timeline. well.

SHADOWBRINGERS.... listening to the song again n oh god i love the lyrics so so much we r ignoring the fact that i have to wake up in like less than 4 hours

#🌙.vent #i just have 1 assignment due tmrrw n i don't want to do it :') like yeah i'm definitely still going to but. it's a letter to ourselves....#i write a lot to myself that is very much evident but it's so hard to actually organize it. & fuck too bcs it's due 10 pm later today #i hate doing things for the sake of academics. says me w my grades lmfao but despite how well i manage i really do hate the school system #i wanted to ramble abt ffxiv oh no i get so distracted when i start writing. but. god my mind rn i don't understand #🥹 this stupid mental block ???? w the break nearly ending there's sm more i have to do but i need to sleep . but not having this started is #messing me up sm rn. i want to put a lot of effort into it but i'm at a loss for words. i wrote some ideas days back but i've changed a bit #this moment ideally right now where i'm in a better mood than i have been for the past few days but not as brain empty #a balance of fiction and reality. enough to keep me not sad but enough to keep me stressed?#i would like to get it started now. i know i want to. but i can't. i just can't seem to. it's not lack of motivation right now. it's.#....maybe a fear? a fear that gives me some sort of mental block. because i really really want to at least start writing something but #i can't start. & goddamn this is not what i meant to write about i wanted to write of shadowbringers & maybe a little of today #but i guess this just has been. bothering me for a while. buried somewhere in my mind #i've been this age for like. more than a week now huh. it's daunting it's scary but i've always loved & sought the thrill of challenges. bu #alright i wasn't able to read anything i wanted to. nor did i watch as much as i would've liked. & i didn't really bond with my friends #save for texts here n then. talking in ffxiv w that one too. & that very one call on bday yh. & tumblr too ofc c: but i didn't do the schoo #stuff i wanted to do this break. but my rank in pjsekai's lowering. nor playing arknights/nier again yet. & fixing my sleep. but....#i didn't wake up any later than 4 pm. i went out for a walk earlier with apollo. i wrote asks to a friend here on tumblr. new books.#new game. plans to make an fc in ffxiv. i ate what i could. i got up even when it hurt. i'm playing gbf again. i'm rlly happy abt that #perhaps it's not enough for me. i can't get rid of my heavy regrets so easily. but acknowledging what i have done that was good enough #trying my best to be kind to myself in this moment even though i feel like crying. acknowledging my pain. maybe. maybe that's #i'm listening to ashes of dreams rn fuck i'm actually going to cry i think bulbel is next in my queue i #it hurts yes n i feel like crying right now but there's. this ache in my chest that replaced the cold emptiness earlier #maybe that's not a good thing uhh but the warmth. that warmth. i'm alive i'm real n there's a tomorrow n that's enough hope #it has to be. it fucking has to be. just. little steps. guide my own self slowly n softly like i do for others. i deserve that too.#i'll give it to myself. surely i must owe myself at least that much. being human comes with its many burdens but i don't need to be #so harsh to myself right? ironic saying that right now while i know there's something so dear to me i'm denying right now #it's like i'm a wilting flower fighting against time to stay alive. but the petals slowly decay n it gets colder the longer the dark night #would an outside light help the blossom find its own light? or would it make it disappear. i wonder #did the flower grow to be meant to be undeserving of such kindness? or are there thorns on its petals that serve as an unbeknownst barrier?

I love giving wizards barbarian weapons in souls games. "ooh I bet that guy's gonna use a rapier or a dagger" enchanted nail bat.

#ignore the existence of the moonlight greatsword as an obligatory int weapon in every game #giant ass sword has never looked right on an int build.#at least in Elden Ring there's other sword sorceries and a knight aesthetic associated with magic #and it has more to it that makes it in line with sorcery while also having a smidge of a faith vibe #Elden ring sadly doesn't have a nailbat. But you do have the stone club. And a cleaver as well #regular battle axe also would've been good now that I think about it
